My vote for the Heisman Trophy went to Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o.
In a season that seemed to produce a different Heisman front-runner every week, Te'o was the nation's most outstanding player -- the unquestioned leader of, and chief playmaker for, the top-ranked Irish.
The Heisman ballot, which was due Monday, had room for three names. I considered five players: USC receiver Marqise Lee, Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein and Te'o.
Manziel was No. 3 on my ballot.
He set NCAA freshman records and has a catchy playing style and nickname ("Johnny Football") -- none of which necessarily equates to being the best player in the nation.
Manziel was fabulous in Texas A&M's upset victory at then-No. 1 Alabama, but the vast majority of his wins, yards, touchdowns and highlights came against second-rate opponents.
Texas A&M faced three top teams. Manziel had no passing touchdowns, only one rushing touchdown and three interceptions in losses to LSU and Florida.
His stellar performance against Alabama wasn't enough for me.
Klein was No. 2 on my ballot and received strong consideration for the top spot.
He was arguably the most valuable offensive player in the country, accounting for 37 of his team's 56 touchdowns -- a higher percentage than Manziel scored for Texas A&M.
In the biggest wins of Kansas State's 11-1 season, Klein was superb: Against Oklahoma, West Virginia, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas -- combined record: 46-26 -- he had 18 touchdowns (run and pass) and just two interceptions.
Klein had one bad game. He threw three interceptions in Kansas State's only loss, to Baylor. It came in the crucible of November and cost him in my evaluation. It might have cost him the Heisman, as well.
Te'o was No. 1 on my ballot for a variety of reasons.
He was, as Irish coach Brian Kelly said, the "backbone" of an undefeated team and the best player on one of the top defenses in the nation.
Te'o recorded only 11/2 sacks because he was not asked to blitz. His role was to stuff the run and patrol the middle of Notre Dame's pass defense. He did both brilliantly, with 103 tackles and seven interceptions (an astounding total for a linebacker) and 11 passes defended.
And in the biggest games of Notre Dame's breakthrough season, Te'o produced: eight tackles and two interceptions against No. 19 Michigan, 11 tackles against No. 8 Stanford, 11 tackles and an interception against Oklahoma, five tackles and an interception against USC.
Those four opponents combined to score just two offensive touchdowns against Notre Dame. Te'o was the biggest reason why.
From the first week of the season to the last, he was the nation's most outstanding player.

Donnelly, Walorski sound bipartisan messages as they prepare to take office
By Tim Vandenack, Elkhart Truth
Jackie Walorski and Joe Donnelly assumed their new posts in the U.S. Congress Thursday with words of optimism and nods to bipartisanship.
They'll likely need it — they'll soon face a thicket of tough issues potentially ranging from reducing the ballooning U.S. deficit to immigration reform.
Walorski, an Elkhart-area Republican, takes over as Indiana's 2nd District representative to the U.S. House; while Donnelly, a Granger Democrat, moves from the 2nd District spot to the U.S. Senate. Both were sworn in to their new posts Thursday in Washington, and both spoke earlier in the day — briefly — about the new congressional session.
"I am really looking forward to working with senators from both sides," said Donnelly, speaking during a conference call with reporters. "I'm not approaching this as a Democrat or a Republican, but as a Hoosier."
Walorski, a former member of the Indiana House, said Thursday was an exciting day "but also very humbling." Broadly, the mission going forward, as she sees it, is creating jobs and getting the U.S. economy under control.
"It's finally time to roll up my sleeves," she said in a short phone interview Thursday from Washington. She's optimistic lawmakers of all stripes can come together to craft "meaningful legislation" to deal with things like the U.S. deficit.
Both were light on specifics, but they're likely to face some tough decisions as the weeks and months unfold.
Elizabeth Bennion, a political scientist at Indiana University South Bend, praised their bipartisan tone, which extends back to their respective campaigns for office last fall. "That provides some reason for optimism," she said.
On the other hand, the U.S. Congress has repeatedly had to deal with fiscal crises, only seemingly managing to implement short-term fixes. In her estimation, it seems individual lawmakers do so hoping that a public mandate will emerge favorable to their particular agenda, permitting implementation of a more permanent fix in line with their political bent.
"That is really concerning, I think, and I think we see that reflected in public disapproval of Congress," Bennion said.
Of particular import going forward will be coming up with a deficit-reduction plan. Lawmakers earlier this week reached a last-minute fix to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, a series of mandatory tax hikes and spending cuts meant to get a handle on the U.S. deficit. Taxes on the wealthiest classes will go up, but any compensatory spending reductions to replace the fiscal cliff measures are put off.
Donnelly didn't spell out any specific areas of possible cuts, but indicated it'll be a priority. He said he's already been working with a "significant middle group" of U.S. senators in trying to find middle ground.
Walorski noted that she had not yet served in the U.S. House, unlike Donnelly, and shied from particulars.
Meanwhile, the U.S. deficit edges toward the federally imposed debt ceiling, which could lead to debate on whether to increase the limit, yet another likely political hornet's nest. Donnelly expressed hesitation about increasing the limit, calling that "a very, very dangerous thing."
Other sticky issues going forward could be gun control, an issue brought to the fore after the Sandy Hook Elementary School killings in Connecticut; and immigration reform, Bennion thinks. No easy fixes pop out for either issue. "None of these are clear candidates for a nice bipartisan solution that everyone will feel good about," Bennion said.
Donnelly beat Republican Richard Mourdock in voting last November to win election to the U.S. Senate. Walorski beat Democrat Brendan Mullen in the race for the 2nd District spot.

Someone starts fire in Houma Walmart; police seek suspect
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 10:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 10:24 a.m.
Someone intentionally lit something on fire Sunday in a Houma Walmart, causing a chemical reaction that sent a thick cloud of smoke into the air, the Sheriff's Office said.
No was injured at the Martin Luther King Boulevard store, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office said. Detectives are still seeking the person responsible since it happened about 4 p.m. Sunday near the store's Garden Center.
The contents of the ignited plastic container included chlorine, and deputies are trying to find out what exactly was inside.
Everyone in the Walmart, 1633 Martin Luther King Blvd., had to be evacuated.
The suspect police are seeking is a muscular man, about 30 years old, with reddish hair. He was wearing tan shorts and a blue T-shirt at the Walmart.
Photos of him are in the left sidebar of this story.
The Bayou Cane Fire Department and sheriff's deputies responded to the chemical reaction, Terrebonne deputies said.
If arrested, the man will be charged with manufacture and possession of delayed action incendiary devices, sheriff's Capt. Dawn Foret said. If convicted, he could go to prison for up to 20 years.

Maple syrup often goes from trees to tables
|Shaker Village Historic Interpreter Philip McIntosh, of Harrodsburg, center, pours sap from a sap pail into the evaporator as Shaker Village Historic Interpreter, Mark Ross, of Harrodsburg, selects firewood at Shaker Village in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, March 1, 2013. "We are constantly adding and taking it off [of the evaporator,] Ross explained. "As it gets brown we pull it for the final cooking." (Briana Scroggins/Lexington Herald-Leader/MCT)
The maple syrup - which is sold in 6-ounce bottles for $6.98 - is processed on the property the same way the Shakers did it in the 1800s.
The Shakers at Pleasant Hill tapped the maple trees, but not to a great extent, said Ralph E. Ward II, museum program and agri-tourism manager. "It was not always successful. It was greatly dependent on the winter variations in the temperature.
"This process was much more common in the Northeast - where the harsh winters require the trees to store up more starch in the trunks and roots for cold weather survival. This starch is then converted to sugar that rises in the sap in the late winter and early spring."
Syrup making is mentioned as early as the 1830s but might have been done on a smaller scale much earlier, Ward said, adding that Shaker Village has been making the syrup for the past five years as an interpretive program. The yield is about 10 to 15 gallons of finished syrup each spring.
"Since the basic process is just cooking down (reducing), there is really no special training required. That being said, experience results in a much better product," Ward said.
Among the Shakers, tapping the trees and collecting the sap was men's work, he explained. The processing/ cooking would be done by the women.
Maple syrup breakfasts are served from 7:30 to 10 a.m. Saturdays during March. The cost is $10.95. Call 1-800-734-5611, Ext. 360, or go to Shakervillageky.org.
Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill is at 3501 Lexington Road, Harrodsburg.
Here is a recipe for fried cornmeal mush that is served at the maple syrup breakfasts.
1 1/4 cups plain white cornmeal
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix ingredients together and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, about 7 minutes. Pour into a loaf pan and chill overnight.
Unmold and slice into 1/2- to 3/4-inch slices. Dust with cornmeal and fry over moderate heat until golden, turning to make sure surface doesn't burn. Serve with butter and maple syrup. Makes 10 to 12 slices, depending on size of loaf pan.

Thanks Dan! I love your idea and will give it a try. I think my problem may be bigger, though. I jumped into a 5k last night that a friend was running. Thought having no anticipation and the world's easiest course might help my performance problems but run was the same as all the others. It was 80 degrees and down-hlll and only 1.2 mi. in and I was convinced I had to stop running and walked the rest. Last Sunday evening I ran 4 mi. in the same time with three short walk breaks. I've got a serious mental problem that messes my race runs vs. my training runs.
Anyone have suggestions about how to address and conquer this?

Just to follow-up, I raced last night and was able to go the whole distance without stopping. It felt great! It seemed wrong to let the season end without one race done right. It sure was hard to stay focused on myself, though. Two girls kept run-walking nearby and it was driving my batty. The preteen just walked slowly until I jogged past her then she'd sprint ahed, but cutting really close to me. This kept up for 30 min. The older teen would jog slowly and as I passed she would meet my pace but then pick up speed so I could never pass. It was hard to hold my pace steady when she did that. Of course she'd fall back into a slower jog and start the cycle over again. Anyone have methods to keep these things from bothering you (besides music)?

On Saturday, I participated in one of the best events I have ever run in my very short running career.
This race was the first running of what I hope is an annual event. From packet pick-up to finish, everything went smooth as silk. The trail (Lost Bridge Trail) was gorgeous, the weather (brisk 50s and sunny) was perfect, and the whole thing was just well-organized and fun.
Packet pick-up was a sign of things to come, because it was quick, orderly, the volunteers were friendly and the swag bag was fun and cute.
The race itself was a 5-mile point-to-point, so shuttle busses took runners to the start point. There was plenty of parking and port-a-potties.
There was a bit of a cluster at the starting gun, but it cleared up quickly. The course was beautiful (enough so that I slowed down to snap a few pics), well-marked out, flat and, fast. Water stations were well-stocked and the volunteers were encouraging.
The finish was again well-stocked with water, Gatorade, granola bars, apples, and bananas.
The tech shirt is nice and every finisher got a medal. I don't know what the overall and AG winners got, but they also had a drawing for door prizes. Guess who won a free pair of any Saucony running shoes from the LRS? That's right!
Macmillan predicted a 1:26 finish so I went conservative and decided my goal would be 1:25. My chip time? 1:17:54! I beat my goal! Actually, more than beat it - smashed it!!!
So it was a really good day all around and a wonderful race. The RD and all volunteers should really give themselves a pat on the back. I'm already looking forward to next year!
As Stuart always says: Run Happy!

Mkayc, good for you on completing your race! Great job!
I'm training for a half marathon using the Galloway run/walk intervals and am apprehensive about ticking other runners off with my intervals. since you were frustrated w/ the two girls, do you have any recommendations for me to keep from irritating ppl? Of course, I'll try to stay to right of course and not stop in front of anyone.

"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12:1
Ironically, I believe the other runners are responsible for themselves. It's not your job to make them happy. I was annoyed by the kids because they were playing this game, "No matter how slow I go, I am not letting that old lady get ahead of me" and I was the old lady. My collegue who runs recognized it right away and said he'd done it. I probably recognized it because in some way other than racing I've done it in the past, used the behavior of an aged person as a milestone for the limits of my weakness, for the floor of my performance spectrum, if I get so lethargic, lazy, whatever, that I'm like that, I will have hit rock bottom and will have to do something immediately about it. So, it wasn't that the kids were rude, except for the youngest one who ran so darn close to me when she sprinted away. It was that I wasn't happy enough just being able to participate in the race; I let myself get distracted by how they were flaunting their youth and boundless energy while I struggled. I need to find ways to get thicker skin.
You need to enjoy your race!!!! There will be many others using the same method. You'll be surrounded by walk/runners and all that matters anyway is what you are doing.
Meanwhile I injured myself somehow weeks ago and am not recovering. I"m off to the doctor's tomorrow to learn that I need to lay off for at least two weeks which means when the Thanksgiving Day 10k rolls around I'll be lucky to be running 3 miles. So, I guess I'll be learning the walk/run method so I'll be able to complete the 6 mi. without walking for an hour. Wish I could be running.

I've been seen and let Doogie Howser talk me into a Cortisone shot for my quad pain and hip *bursitis.* Frankly, I'm skeptical. Thought bursitis was chronic and not caused by exertion. Whever. I said, "will this delay healing?" "Nooo," he says. Of course, he also said it wouldn't hurt but I got him back when I shouted, "#$%^&* that hurts" - really loudly. Now I see lots of reports online saying Cortisone injections delay healing. My pain is gone and I'd like to exercise. Doc said I could but I don't want to aggravate the injury. Anyone have any experience with Cortisone, how it works? Good? Bad?

Hi everyone!
WOW!! It was ideal temps for the RnR in Phoenix yesterday!!
My last training run was on Wed., ran 12 miles so decided to give my muscles and knee 3 days of rest instead of pushing it on Thurs.
Iced my knee for two days, had a massage on Fri., stretching each day, hydrating all day on Saturday.
I've noticed that I have been getting some pretty bad blisters on inside of my right big toe from the 'newer' road shoes I had from last year, mostly from the two marathons so I decided to buy some new lighter road shoes at the EXPO on Saturday, and some new socks. I know, I know, that you shouldn't try anything new for a race but I am using this race as a 'training' run for my upcoming HMs and FMs this Spring ...........
Slept well, got up at 5, ate 1/2 bagel, a small banana, a bottle of Powerade, and got to the race around 6:45 am.
Stood in line at the porta-potty, some slight stretching, and had the Gatorade Prime (pre-game fuel) around 7:15, waiting for race time at 7:30, didn't cross the starting line until about 7:45 am.
I ran about 10 min/mile, took one minute walk breaks after each mile up to 7 mile when I begin to feel a muscle cramp, OMG!!! The hamstring on the back of my left thigh, never had one before so I slowed down, and told myself that I need to stop and massage it, RIGHT NOW, at this approximate halfway point!! "You still have quite a ways to go, STOP NOW!"
That was a tough decision as I was REALLY feeling good about my time, and knew I could possibly finish under two hours.......... bummer!!! I forced myself to stop and stretch and massage it, lost about 5 minutes there ......... had to readjust my mental state too.
I slowed my pace and didn't stop for my walk break until at the 9 mile marker, massaged the hamstring again, lost about 5 minutes again!! darn it!! and lost sight of a couple of my 'pacers' .....
At the 10 mile marker, it started to go 'downhill' so I up my pace and ran a 9 min/mile and took my last walk break at 11 mile.
I finished strong the last 2 miles, passing so many runners on their last 'leg', could see the exhausted expressions on their faces and some of them walking to a crawl, but I got a sudden burst of energy the last 1/2 mile!!
Overall place: 5379
Finish Time: 2:07:59
Overall place in Division, female (50-55): 125
My knee made it!! Some swelling but I iced it asap, massaging it as well, hamstring is sore today but tolerable.
For road courses, I am use to finishing under 2 hours, with a PR of 1:42 but I know that it's when I am in a healthy condition, and have trained longer.
So, overall, I feel good and satisfied with my time.
Not bad for only 7 days of training though, after not running for 3 months!
Course was so much better this year. They changed it, much more scenic, and less waiting time too because they separated the HM runners from the FM runners with different starting points but finishing at the same place.
My husband was very supportive throughout the whole race in PHX yesterday, didn't want me walking back to the truck so we took a ride on those bicycle driven 'cart'. Thank goodness, it was such a distance from the event and the traffice was terrible. He couldn't believe how well I did although he knows how competitive I am, he knew I could do it but kept telling me to be careful and not worry about the time .......... he didn't have a chance to take any photos of me! He was waiting for me at the 12 mile marker but there was so many spectators that he didn't see me. When I called him, he couldn't believe I was already DONE!! "WHAT? You crossed the finish line already?!?!" haha!! Anyway, having family/loved one nearby is such a motivator in itself.
And, NO BLISTERS!!! No problem with the new shoes either.
BTW: I am a shutter bug, a hobby, amateur photography. My husband got a GoPro camera for me for X-mas AND I took some photos/video during my walk breaks and a few during my running .......... CRAZY! I have used it during my harley rides and of course, our 'babysiting' time with the grandbaby ...... she is soo funny when she stays up waaaay past her bedtime, haha! No 'curfew" with grandma and poppa!
Will see if I can post a couple of them ...........
So, it's RECOVER time for me, will run Wed, then have to fly out of town on business for a few days ............... searching for my next race and I will give it more time to train, would prefer a trail HM though ..........lol!! February is right around the corner............
CONGRATS to everyone else who ran!!
Trail runner
ax1414~Thank you for the jump start on this thread for the new year. Excellent race report, and congratulations on a great HM run after only 7 days of training!!! Really????? I'm sure you will be back to your 1:42 HM in no time. You take such joy in your training and are a inspiration to us all.
My 10k race yesterday was a study in contrasts from the last one. The first 10k was run in sweltering 86 degree heat and oppressive humidity, AND they ran out of water on the course. Yesterday's race was cold, snowy, 25 mph wind gusts and I LOVED IT!!!
After 7 hours of blissful sleep, awoke and peeked between the blinds to blowing snow and mid-teen temps. At an earlier time in my life, I would have done an about-face and climbed back into bed for most of the day. Not today!!! My goal for this race was to control from going out too fast at the start, keep a strong, even 11 minute pace on the course and to beat my previous 10k time.
For pre-race fuel, consumed a raspberry Nutri-grain bar, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup coffee and alternately sipped 8 oz.prepared Hammer Nutrition Perpenteum(strawberry-vanilla) and water.
My DH (personal cheerleader and all-around good sport) and I followed a snow plow on the 30 minute drive to the park facility where the race was being held. The race director emailed updates about the course condition, and the latest one stated that because of the falling snow, the course obviously could not be guaranteed to be free of snow/ice. Decided to bring every bit of cold-weather gear and to run with Yaktracks.
Arrived early at the facility to get a parking place before the road would be closed for the race. The entrance road was the first 1/2 mile of the course. Entered the heated facility, and waited in a bit of a line to use the restroom, but so happy not to have to use port-a-potties outside in the cold. It was great to have a heated area to stay warm and do some static stretches.
The 5k race was to begin at 9 am and 10k at 9:30 am, but the RD announced both races would be delayed 10 minutes. Usually any delay is very annoying, but the snow was ending, and wind blowing the clouds away. Sunshine!
Watched the 600 5k runner begin their race from the large windows in the park facility, and continued to stretch, chat with other runners and sip water. Ten minutes to race start, left the warmth and gently ran the 3/4 mile to the start line. The wind gusts picked up the snow resting in the tree branches and blew on the 300 runners as we waited at the start. We gathered in small groups to shelter and encourage one another.
The gun fired and my first goal lay in front of me. Everything in me wants to spring out like a horse out of the gate, but I use the ipod in my head to use music to get into a rhythm. At this point the head wind was very chilling, and helped to hold me back. I was aware of others passing around me, but did not get caught up in keeping up with them. Goal #1: checked off!
As we passed the park facility the course changed from packed snow road way to bike path and YEA! the paths were clear of ice and snow. Since there was very little snow/ice for the Yaktracks to dig into, I decided to remove them adn wrapped them around my wrist. After passing under the first highway bridge, the tree line worked as a wind break, the sun was at our backs and it was a lovely, scenic course.
As we approached the first of 2 wooden bridges, I noticed the bridge was covered in snow/ice. Cautiously traveled over the bridges, and once onto the asphalt path was able to continue my 11 minute pace. Goal #2: checked off!
There were 2 water/Gatorade stations set up and I thought I would try out the "art" of slowing to a brisk walk, pinching the cup, drinking and resuming my run. Apparently, I need A LOT more practice........since I ended up wearing most off it on both attempts!
As the Garmin (Christmas gift--thank you, honey!) stated I was approaching the 5 mile mark, I felt strong and was still maintaining the 11 minute pace. After passing the final turn, I heard my hubby yell, " You're gonna do it!" The final .2 miles to go and the finish/clock was in view. The usual whipper-snappers who decide they are not going to be beat by a "woman of a certain age" flew by. I let them pass, I had done what I set out to do. Goal #3: checked off!
Finish time: 1:07:28 PR!!! (10:52 pace) Garmin: 1:06:51
Consumed 4 oz. of Recoverite and walked off the race at the Multisport Expo being held at the park facility. Lots of post race food/drink, give-aways, nutrition experts, upcoming race info and great deals on gear/equipment. Enjoyed a relaxing brunch of baked oatmeal w/ roasted fruit and lot of coffee with my husband and then home for a 30 minute *ouch* session with the foam roller (affectionatley called, Helga).
Great day! Looking forward to reading everyone's race reports in 2012!
I ran the Hot Chocolate 5K in Dallas this morning with a wind chill of 25 and loved it! I wore shorts, ls tech shirt, ss tech shirt over, Hot Chocolate wind jacket, knit cap, and gloves. This was only my second race. The first one had 290 5Kers. This one had 6400 registered! Guess I over-hydrated or it was really cold because I hit the first portapotty at 1 mile. I jogged all the first mile, about 2/3s the second, and about 1/2 the third. There were a couple of steep hills that challenged me. There was gharidelli? chocolate at the finish line and hot cocoa and choc fondue inside the after race party building. There were another 4800 registered for the 15K so this was a huge event and very intimidating. Heck, they're all intimidating, but I'm having fun and plan on sticking with one a month if possible. Anyone going to one of these mega events should plan on arriving 2 hrs early for a stress free good time!

Cutting-edge bassist, composer to perform tonight
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 11:39 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The University of Alabama hosts cutting-edge bassist, improviser and composer George Cremaschi at the Paul R. Jones Gallery tonight as part of its 2013 Sonic Frontiers concert series.
George Cremaschi concert
When: 7:30 p.m. today
Where: the Paul R. Jones Gallery, 2308 Sixth St. downtown.
Admission: Free.
The Czech-based musician has performed with some of the leading lights of the contemporary music scene, including Nicolas Collins, Evan Parker, Franz Hautzinger, Gino Robair, Mats Gustafsson and Lê Quan Ninh.
He'll be playing solo compositions and improvisations followed by a collaboration with UA's Tim Feeney on percussion and Andrew Raffo Dewar on tenor saxophone.
A multi-faceted artist who enjoys working in disciplines from dance and multimedia exhibits to theatrical performances, Cremaschi was inspired early in his career by one-time Tuscaloosa residents Davey Williams and LaDonna Smith.
Cremaschi said the audience at tonight's concert can expect plenty of improvisation.
"A couple of friends of mine who are composers have written pieces for solo double bass, so I'll be doing excerpts from both of those pieces. They're both notated, but loosely notated, so there's a lot of room for improvisation. And depending on how I feel — I'm leaving it up to the moment — I might do a short solo electronics piece.... I'll have to get there and see how I feel and how the space resonates."
He said that each performance also varies according to the venue's attributes.
"Because a part of music, and certainly improvisation, that doesn't get talked about very much is: What does the space you're performing in itself give to you? I play differently if I'm playing in a church as opposed to a basement jazz club. And each one of those settings would determine in large part what I would actually play, because I work with the acoustics of the space itself.
"So, in a way, 50 percent of what I play will be determined by when I get there and I can actually practice a little bit in the space and see what it's giving me back. But I would say that my solo bass playing would be drawing from a sort of contemporary post-classical vocabulary. My solo performances in the last couple of years have been mostly that, if that makes any sense," Cremaschi said.
While improvisation is important in his music, he said he also values composition.
"My interest in improvisation and composition — on the one side — are parallel tracks and on the other side they kind of inform each other." he said.
"I'm not ideologically predisposed to one or the other. I like composition — I like that sense of control over things — but at the same time I'm very interested in what happens in groups of people acting communally."

THIBODAUX, La. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team was unable to find its offensive stroke at the plate, falling 6-1 against Nicholls in the Southland Conference contest. The Colonels picked up a complete game from their starter for the second time in as many games as the Islanders were unable to get into the bullpen on Saturday.
The Islanders are now 11-16 on the year, 4-7 in Southland Conference games. Nicholls improves to 16-11 this season, 6-5 in league play. Adam Hoelscher was tagged with the loss for the Islanders, giving up four runs on seven hits in 7.0 innings. The junior lefty walked none while striking out five batters. Tim Keller pitched in relief, giving up two unearned runs on two hits in his only inning of work. He also walked one and struck out one in his relief appearance.
Jonathan Gonzales had three of the Islanders hits, going 3-for-4 on the day, while Eric Weiss added a pair of singles. Kyle Danford, Brad Porras and Dan Sciantarelli each had one hit, with a double from Sciantarelli being the only extra-base hit of the day for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi.
After a scoreless first inning, Nicholls plated a pair of runs on just two pitched into the second inning, as the leadoff hitter singled on the first pitch, and Blake Bergeron followed for the Colonels with a home run to left field on the first pitch to make it a 2-0 score. Nicholls plated another pair of runs in the fourth inning to take an early 4-0 lead.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi threatened in the second, fourth and fifth inning, getting runners in scoring position each time, including to third base in both the second and fifth innings, but were unable to get a run home.
The Islanders finally got on the board in the seventh inning, using a leadoff double by Dan Sciantarelli to end the shutout. After the double, Santiago Ruiz moved Sciantarelli to third on a ground out, while Jeramie Marek brought him home on another grounder to make it a 4-1 game.
It would be all they could muster on the day though, as the Colonels added two more runs in the eighth inning to make it a 6-1 lead that would be the final score.
The final game of the series will begin at 1 p.m. on Sunday, and will feature Islanders pitcher Daniel Minor on the mound, facing off against Mike Wisecarver of Nicholls.

Court Told To Consider Issues Unresolved by Health-Care Ruling
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court Monday told a lower court to consider several issues left unresolved by the justices' June ruling upholding the Affordable Care Act, in a move backed by the Obama administration.
The order came in a case brought by Liberty University, an evangelical college founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, which was one of dozens of plaintiffs to file separate suits alleging that aspects of President Barack Obama's health-care overhaul are unconstitutional. Many of those issues were resolved in June, when the Supreme Court upheld almost all of the law, but others have yet to be addressed on appeal.
In its petition, the Lynchburg, Va., school sought an appellate court ruling on its claims that the Affordable Care Act's insurance mandates violate constitutional guarantees of religious freedom and equal protection. A federal district court rejected those arguments last year, but the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in Richmond, Va., which held the lawsuit itself was premature, dismissed the case without reviewing the district court's decision.
Without a new hearing, Liberty University and two individuals who joined the suit will "remain in limbo and their claims will fade into oblivion," the school told the Supreme Court.
The Justice Department said that while it continues to disagree with Liberty University's challenge, it has no objection to litigating the issue on the merits before the Fourth Circuit.
Whichever side loses at the Fourth Circuit is likely to appeal the question to the Supreme Court, but the justices are under no obligation to hear such a challenge.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, April 25, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Two different taxing systems continue to plague Augusta-Richmond County since consolidation. Augustans pay different amounts to get the same service, but that could be about to change.
City leaders have assigned a tax subcommittee to try and figure it out. They have made progress, but the end is nowhere in sight.
It's a dreaded day for Jackie Kennedy. She's paying her property taxes.
"I do know there has been an increase on a number of different things," Kennedy said.
She's owned property for more than 10 years in suburban Augusta. Kennedy is on the fence about commissioners trying to change the city's tax system.
"Rural versus suburban are two totally different ends of the spectrum. It may help one set and hurt another if it's changed," Kennedy said.
"It's almost a situation to where no matter what we do, someone is going to end up unhappy," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
Commissioners Mason, Wayne Guilfoyle and Donnie Smith are working with the finance department to figure out how to get rid of the two-tier tax systems for urban and suburban Augusta while making sure funds are collected for street lights, fire and garbage services.
"I'm not sure what we need to do about it but something needs to be done," Kennedy said.
"It's been very difficult to make this more fair and equal between all residents," Mason said.
"The main goal of the subcommittee is to find a way to charge tax payers the same amount and allow them to receive the same amount of services," said Commissioner Mary Davis.
The tax subcommittee is recommending one mill rate for fire protection, leaving street lights and garbage as fees and continuing to use tax bills in collection.
"I do feel like I get a good quality of service for my money. Everybody wants a lower price for services coming out of their pockets."

'Girls' Season 3 Premiere: Lena Dunham in Rochas, Allison Williams in Dior
Frigid temperatures in New York City didn't deter Lena Dunham and the cast of "Girls" from putting their best foot forward on the red carpet last night. The star and creator of the show sparkled in a sleeveless silver sequined spring 2014 Rochas gown. The show kicks off its third season Jan. 12.
Costar Allison Williams looked polished in a Christian Dior dress with an embellished bodice and flared skirt, while Jemima Kirke, who often wears designs by her mother, wore a vintage-like saint gown with spaghetti straps. Zosia Mamet played it safe in a Saint Laurent little black dress with a deep neckline.
Black Is the New Black: Arianna Huffington wore a satin blazer with black pants and a black clutch, while "Orange Is the New Black" actress Natasha Lyonne opted for a long-sleeved black dress with slit. Her costar Danielle Brooks, who told Ebony that she will be "the first black woman to be on "Girls," chose a LBD accented by sparkly gold sleeves.
Defying the Cold: "The Daily Show" correspondent Jessica Williams looked ready for a night out in Los Angeles sporting bare legs and summer whites. She wore a piped blazer-and-shorts ensemble with a sophisticated updo. She told a Speakeasy editor she's excited that she's slated to appear on several episodes of "Girls" this season. "Most of the correspondents on the 'The Daily Show' are comics and actors too," she said.
Channeling the '90s: Model and singer-songwriter Karen Elson's ensemble harked back to her early modeling days: She wore a floral satin slip dress with ankle-strap heels.
Most Daring Looks: Musician Kim Gordon, who will pop up on "Girls" this season, rocked an off-the-shoulder gown with contrasting floral and tie-dye prints–overwhelming for most people, but this is Kim Gordon.
Vogue editor Anna Wintour looked the warmest on the red carpet, wearing a bold coat from Prada's spring 2014 collection, which featured primary colors and giant faces. She and Dunham appeared chummy on the red carpet. Does this mean that the rumored Vogue cover for Dunham is in the works?
Readers, which is your favorite look?

November 29, 2005
Charles Walker represented this area in Atlanta for more than 23 years. And over those years, he won election after election, building a strong base of supporters. News 12 has reaction from some of the people who say they still support Charles Walker.
They're still standing behind the former senator, even after the indictment, the long trial and now the sentence of a decade behind bars.
To Rebecca Williams, former state senator Charles Walker will always be the same.
"I just knew the Charles that was always there to help," Williams said.
She's been a family friend to the Walkers for more than 25 years now and says the sentence is simply unjust.
"Unfair and the reason I say that is because looking back you got rapists, murderers, they do crime and they don't even get ten years," Williams said.
Part of his sentence is related to stealing money from the CSRA Classic, a charity football event. But, Rebecca finds that hard to believe.
"You could say it was misappropriation of funds for the Classic but you never got charged for anything except for the tickets, you could always walk around all day long and fill your belly for free, how could it be misusing funds when you're not charging anyone?" Williams said.
And over at a campaign fundraiser for Willie Mays, Champ Walker was out to show his support. But he declined to comment about his father's sentence. Interim Mayor Willie Mays says he was not shocked by the extended term.
"When you deal with sentences a lot of things can vary, nothing ever surprises me anymore," Mays said.
Commissioner Marion Williams says he still supports Walker.
"I was surprised a little at the amount of time they have him but I was really surprised about the number of counts they found him guilty of," Marion Williams said.
While those who know Mr. Walker say only God and Charles Walker himself knows what really happened, they will never turn their backs on him.
"I still respect him and you can't point fingers," Marion Williams said.
"He is a human being and we all are gonna fall shot, only one perfect man and that's God," said Rebecca Williams.

Chess enthusiasts to have three tournaments in one
Published: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 11:42 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | This weekend's Chess Extravaganza in T-Town is really three tournaments wrapped into one event.
Chess Extravaganza in T-Town
When: Friday-Sunday.
Where: The student union at Ferguson Center on the University of Alabama campus.
Admission: Free to the public; players can register at www.freedomchessacademy.org.
- The Black Warrior Chess Challenge will begin at 6 p.m. Friday. Chess players from Alabama and surrounding states will compete for $2,500 in prize money. The challenge will continue on Saturday and conclude on Sunday.
- The Tuscaloosa Scholastic Chess Championship will be from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday. At least seven teams from Birmingham will compete for trophies against Tuscaloosa players from Freedom Chess Academy, the Tuscaloosa Magnet Schools, ChessKidsNation, Country Knights and other schools.
- The Alabama Quick Chess Champions will be from 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday. The Alabama Chess Federation-sanctioned state championship requires players to finish games in less than one hour with a grand prize of $1,000.
Organizers expect nearly 150 players to compete.
All the tournaments will be held at the Ferguson Center Student Union on the University of Alabama campus and are open to the public.
"The Tuscaloosa Tourism and Sports Commission backed the tournament with a financial contribution that allowed us to offer a significantly larger prize fund than Alabama has seen in prior years. But what makes this tournament really special is that we are able to bring together chess players of all ages and skill levels," said Neil Dietsch, president of the Freedom Chess Academy, a nonprofit group that promotes chess training and play in West Alabama.
"We hosted the state chess championship here in 2010, but the 2011 tornado curtailed our plans for another big event until this year. Now we're excited to be back and to bring chess players and their families to show off our city and the UA campus."
The Chess Extravaganza in T-Town is made possible through a partnership of the Freedom Chess Academy, UA's Center for Ethics and Social Responsibility's Every Move Counts chess in education initiative and the Tuscaloosa Tourism and Sports Commission.
"Any time you can partner with quality organizations that promote high-level events such as the Chess Extravaganza and bring exposure to our community and campus, TTSC takes an active interest," said Don Staley, executive director of sports for the tourism and sports commission. "We are of the opinion that if successful, this event could lead to future Grand Prix chess tournaments down the road that will bring significantly greater numbers of out-of-town visitors to our community."

Vehicle Donation
Do you have a car in your driveway that you're tired of looking at? Why not donate it to benefit Spokane Public Radio? This is Rick's story:
Thanks to Car Talk's Vehicle Donation Program, you can make room in your driveway, support the station, and get a tax deduction — all in one fell swoop. Here's how it works -- Just fill out the simple online form by clicking here, and you'll quickly have room in your driveway for that new car you've been eyeing. Car Talk's national partner, V-DAC, then arranges for the pick up of the vehicle and its title. It couldn't be easier! From there, the car is sold (or dismantled, if it's like one of Tommy's cars), with the proceeds benefiting Spokane Public Radio stations KPBX, KSFC, and KPBZ.
Car Talk searched for some time to find a vehicle donation program that was safe, reliable and efficient. V-DAC was selected because it offers the best return to public radio stations, and it accepts the widest possible range of used vehicles. Plus, it has a great reputation — it also administers a vehicle donation service for over 2,000 local and national charities. Put another way, "We've been told that they have absolutely no connection to the Gambino crime family, Vincent 'The Chin' Gigante or the whereabouts of Jimmy Hoffa," says Car Talk's Ray Magliozzi. "But we decided to go with them anyway," adds Tom.
What prompted Car Talk to start a vehicle donation program? "Tommy's wife asked for it, actually," says Ray, "At this point, she'll try anything to get Tommy's '52 MG TD out of the driveway, and the idea was born." This is a classic example of what game theorists call a 'win-win-win-lose' scenario," explains Tom. "The donor wins, the spouse wins, the station wins — and the IRS loses. Now, what could possibly be better than that?"
We hope you'll check out this program by clicking on the online vehicle donation link, or calling 1-866-789-TMCP (Take My Car Please - 8627). If you're not yet ready to donate your used vehicle, we hope you'll share this creative way to support public radio with a friend.

Science Features
While popular culture often portrays California as sunny, California residents are familiar with the rains that often batter their state in winter and spring. Measured in total rainfall over a three-day period, these West Coast storms are as big and as frequent as any in the United States, according to USGS research hydrologist Mike Dettinger, who studies the giant atmospheric rivers of water vapor flowing from west to east over the Pacific Ocean that trigger the biggest West Coast storms.
Because West and East coast storms have different characteristics and causes, they are difficult to compare using existing metrics, such as the Safir-Simpson scale used to classify hurricanes. Dettinger is co-leading the development of a simple classification system with Marty Ralph of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to help scientists and public officials compare East and West Coast storms, and to provide accurate and easily grasped warnings to West Coast residents when a big storm is headed their way.
Dettinger, a research hydrologist with the USGS National Research Program, studies the giant atmospheric rivers — found in the lowest 2 kilometers above Earth's surface and stretching 400km wide on average, each carrying the equivalent of 10 to 20 Mississippi Rivers of water in the form of vapor — that are responsible for the biggest West Coast storms. When these atmospheric rivers encounter high mountains such as California's Sierra Nevada, they are forced upward, cooling as they go, and their vapor condenses and falls as rain or snow. Precipitation from atmospheric rivers is double-edged for Californians, says Dettinger: It can manifest in destructive storms, but it also provides much of California's water supply.
To quantify West Coast storms, Dettinger and Ralph propose a simple ranking called R-Cats, or Rainfall Categories. An "R-Cat-1" storm brings between 200 and 300 millimeters (approximately 8-12 inches) of rain in a three-day period. The scale rises in 100mm intervals to an R-Cat-4 storm, which unleashes more than 500mm (just under 20 inches) of rain in a three-day period. The R-Cat system is meant to be simple enough to facilitate communication in public and technical arenas. As a communication and research tool, it is meant to provide a clear, objective perspective on the severity of precipitation in West Coast storms, and potentially of storms elsewhere.
R-Cats is just part of USGS' ongoing work to inform the public and management officials about the potential of extreme storms. In 2011, USGS and partners unveiled the ARkStorm Scenario, a hypothetical storm similar in magnitude to the intense West Coast winter storms of 1861 and 1862 that destroyed up to a quarter of California's taxable property and rendered the state's 480-kilometer- (300-mile) long Central Valley impassible. Today, the economic loss from such an event would total billions. To help emergency managers, universities, businesses, public agencies and others in planning for such natural disasters, ARkStorm (for "Atmospheric River 1,000 Storm") modeled a storm that the West Coast might expect, on average, once every 500 to 1,000 years.
One implication recognized by ARkStorm's creators was the need to develop consistent and easily understandable terms to communicate the risk and magnitude of West Coast storms to the public. Dettinger and Ralph, who were part of the more than 120 scientists on the ARkStorm team, and co-led the development of the meteorological part of the scenario, see the R-Cats system as a response to that need.
The idea for a scaling system came to Dettinger and Ralph as part of their collaboration exploring the causes and impacts of extreme precipitation on the U.S. West Coast. They were bad, locals asserted, but how bad were they in comparison, for example, to storms in Texas? They compared 30 years of daily precipitation reports from more then 5,800 weather stations across the United States and grouped them into R-Cat levels. They found that nearly all the R-Cat-3 and -4 events occurred in California, Texas or the Southeastern states. Seventeen storms west of the 115th parallel during the 30-year reporting period were R-Cat-2 or higher – that is, they dropped more than 300mm (11.81 inches) of rain in three days – and all were associated with atmospheric rivers. Further, only in California did any stations report multiple R-Cat-3 or -4 episodes during those 30 years.
"Three-day precipitation extremes associated with landfalling ARs on the U.S. West Coast are heavier than extreme storms anywhere else in the country outside the southeast United States (including those related to landfalling tropical storms and hurricanes). Also, they yield comparable precipitation totals with the southeastern storms, and occur station-by station just as frequently as the extreme precipitation episodes elsewhere," Dettinger and Ralph concluded in their paper in a recent Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society that explains the R-Cats system.
Today, atmospheric rivers are tracked from space using passive microwave sensors onboard polar orbiting satellites. In 2010, Dettinger said, forecasters were well prepared for the storms because of their improved understanding of the role of atmospheric rivers. Current research adds to the mix ground-based sensing of water vapor and soil moisture, among other factors, with the goal of giving federal, state and local forecasters and water managers a much more precise understanding of the West Coast's water situation and the potential for floods.
"Knowing about the role of atmospheric rivers has already made a difference," Dettinger said. "Not so long ago, it was the rare storm you'd hear about a week ahead of time. Now it's not uncommon for weather forecasters to see storms forming near Japan a week ahead of time. In large part, that's because they now know a little better what to look for: atmospheric rivers."
"We're not trying to replace older methods, just to add on our simple R-Cats categories, which offer a simple way of comparing the size of storms from place to place," Dettinger said. Our goal was specifically to ask, How big are the biggest historical storms at places all over the country' in ways that were simple and logical and that still allowed us to compare the absolute sizes of those largest storms. In doing so, as much a surprise to us as to everyone else we've ever shown this to, we found that California's biggest storms are absolutely as big as the storms made by landfalling hurricanes in the American southeast. This is an amazing finding that had been lost in the return-interval and percentile reporting that has been the norm."

AUGUSTA, Ga.---It's no secret: Augusta's had some big budget problems over the years. Most of it's been blamed on bad bookkeeping and unexpected lawsuits. But some leaders think employees stealing money is becoming a main factor.
Inside Augusta's License and Inspection Department, money is always coming in. With nearly every business in the county paying fees here, they deal with big bucks...and mostly cash.
We asked Director Rob Sherman how much money goes through the office.
"In a year's time, $12 million," he said.
Even with a dozen clerks handling the money and keeping it at their desks, Sherman says he's never worried about his employees stealing.
"We're comfortable," he said. "We don't have an issue out here."
And that's how other department heads felt...until there was an issue.
Clerk Mandy Michelle Rhodes was charged last year with stealing more than $21,000 from the city's magistrate court over a six month period. And city golf course manager Guy Reid was busted for taking more than $3000 from the Patch.
Those are two examples of what Commissioner Marion Williams calls a bigger problem that's hurting Augusta's bottom line.
"There's a lot of money that's being manipulated and taken from this government, and we don't have a clue as to how much," Commissioner Williams said.
Williams says there are few if any checks and balances in most departments. He points to a case in the city's auto tag office five years back, when it was discovered that over two years, clerk Stephanie Womack stole more than $120,000 by manipulating the computer system.
Director Roger Tomlin says they've made major changes since then, and he's confident theft in his department is a problem of the past.
"It's virtually impossible to make any kind of changes to the data once it's been put in," he said.
But in most cases, the employees were never caught until an audit revealed missing money. And the truth is, some departments haven't been audited in years.
So if theft is a bigger problem, what's causing it? Mayor Deke Copenhaver says it has a lot to do with employee morale.
"People are not being paid a tremendous amount of money," he said. "They're often beat up for the job they are doing."
But he agrees the city need more oversight.
"I'm glad things are coming to light, because I'm certainly concerned about the bottom line of the city," he said.
As to exactly how much of your money is missing, we may never know. City accountants only tell us there is at least $4 million unaccounted for...and they blame most of it on sloppy record-keeping.
City Administrator Fred Russell makes it clear that those who steal will pay.
"We'll continue to catch people that are doing wrong things and prosecute those that we can," he said.
Augusta's fleet manager says several county employees are fired each year for stealing gas.
He says some have even been prosecuted.

1. Yesterday: Baking pie: 23:16
I had a bit of a problem getting back into the dorm due to software bugs in the card key system. I stayed out past midnight, so I couldn't call the entry assistant. I called Mariana, but she couldn't leave the room because her key didn't work either, and there was no point in both of us being locked out. I am eternally grateful to James for waking up (bathrobe and all) and letting me into the main entrance so that I could ring the doorbell to my suite and get Mariana to let me in.
I'm so, so glad I have friends like these...
On Technorati: friends, cooking

このようにして、おじいさんは、あたりをみまわすたびに、きれいなねこがみつかっておいていくことができなくなりました。そして知らない間に、そこにいるねこをみんな拾い上げてつれていくことになってしまいました。 So it happened that every time the very old man looked up, he saw another cat which was so pretty he could not bear to leave it, and before he knew it, he had chosen them all.
2. Performances: 23:21
I also got to try on the absolutely beautiful dress I'll wear to the renaissance dance performance on Friday. It's probably my one and only chance to wear a hoop skirt, so I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. ;) The dress rehearsal is on Thursday and the performance is on Friday. Both are at 6:30 PM at Old Vic in Victoria College, U of T. If you don't mind watching us learn how to navigate with hoop skirts and all of that, you can probably come to the dress rehearsal. If you're willing to take pictures of our performance (Hello, Papa! ;) ), we can probably sneak in one or two guests.
... And I managed to wake up in time to turn in assignment #2 for the FIS course, which I think is a pretty cool performance. Prof. Howarth gave me back the paper for Assignment #1. I got an A+ for presentation, and a very encouraging comment! =) Whee!

Inmates at the Cass County Jail were placed on temporary lockdown after a clothes dryer caught fire.
The mini-blaze began Saturday afternoon, filling one section of the jail with smoke. KFGO radio reports that the dryer had overheated, sparking the fire.
Jail staff controlled both the blaze and the inmates until fire units arrived.

Shooting for Awareness
Shooting for Awareness
04.09.13 | By Preet Bilinski
Most people have heard of the NBA Hall of Famer, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. But not everyone is as familiar with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a once fatal disease, that he was diagnosed with in 2008. Since being diagnosed, Abdul-Jabbar has been a strong advocate for CML patients, encouraging them to understand their treatment milestones and actively talk to their physicians to ensure their disease is properly managed. Kareem has teamed up with Novartis and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to further raise awareness of CML. During half-time at this evening's Lakers game, Kareem will take center court for the first shot in the "CML Skyhook Challenge," starting the countdown clock to raise $38,387to match his NBA-leading life-time record of 38,387 points in 1,560 games. He will be joined by a group of fellow CML survivors, who will be invited to the game and to join the half-time festivities. The basketball legend will encourage fans at the game and at home to play the Skyhook Challenge via their mobile devices. By texting KAJ to 72645, participants will receive a series of questions about CML, Kareem's career and LLS. The game will also be available online at www.skyhookchallenge.com. Each correct answer is worth one point; players can answer more than one question. Once the Challenge registers 38,387 points, Novartis will donate $38,387 to LLS to support blood cancer research and patient services. The contest will take place until the total fundraising goal is reached. "Thanks to research, survival rates have doubled, tripled and even quadrupled for some blood cancers, but there is still critical unmet medical need, and more research is needed to advance therapies that save more lives," said LLS President and Chief Executive Officer John Walter. Stay tuned in the coming weeks to learn more about the exciting research being done for leukemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers in our upcoming medicines in development report.
