TUPELO – Charlie and Angie Terrell didn't miss out on the holiday shopping frenzy – they just waited until after Christmas.
The Alabama couple, armed with gift cards for several stores, planned to spend the day in Tupelo shopping for what Santa didn't bring.
"We just got married and bought a new house, so we've got a few things we need to buy," said Charlie Terrell.
They spent the first half of their day on Tuesday at The Mall at Barnes Crossing, where marketing director Cindy Childs said business had been brisk during the holiday season.
"We're very pleased," she said. "Business had been very good especially after last year being soft."
Childs said sales for the season at the mall should be up about 6 percent compared to last year, when sales were up a more modest 2 percent.
Childs also said retailers at the mall were seeing more shoppers spend cash and gift cards rather than use credit cards.
The Terrells swore off credit cards when they got married and said they were sticking to a debit card and gift card spending plan.
"It will just make us shop a little smarter," Angie Terrell said.
But that won't necessarily mean they'll find what they're looking for.
Retailers, anticipating lower sales this season, cut back on their ordering, leaving inventories lower than normal.
The slim pickings for shoppers mean higher profits for retailers, who don't have to resort to steep after-Christmas discounts that cut into their bottom lines.
Several stores at the mall had clearly been shopped heavily.
"Last year, retailers had a lot more merchandise," Childs said. "This year, there's not as much left for the after-Christmas sales."
With the recession easing, shoppers have been in a mood to shop since the season began, said Jeff Snyder, the mall's general manager.
"We saw that heading into the season and it's been strong," he said. "We had Black Friday numbers on the day after Christmas, which was really impressive."
Snyder said customer traffic at the mall during the holidays is up about 9 percent, compared to 5 percent last year.
That shows that the economy is improving and that retailing in Tupelo is in good shape, he said.
"People were ready for Christmas and they wanted to spend," he said.
According to MasterCard Advisors' SpendingPulse, spending rose 3.6 percent from Nov. 1 through Dec. 24.
December sales figures will be reported on Jan. 7, giving a better picture of how this key selling season went for retailers.
"Well, I guess we're doing our part today," said Charlie Terrell.

The conference call did little to excite anyone. There were just straightforward, take it or leave it answers. There might be some new business converting locomotives to LNG, but execs downplayed it as a slow process rather than a big new opportunity. Medical air is soft in the US, too. Look for analyst downgrades to start hitting the wires.
Also, they lost out on the Cheniere Energy/Bechtel contract because they couldn't meet the deadlines.

How TCU, Texas A&M responded to gay athletic administrator
Texas Christian University assistant athletic director Drew Martin discussed the challenges of being gay in Texas sports jobs in an Outsports.com interview published Wednesday.
Martin told the site about his engagement to Blake Macon, which happened before the Mississippi State-Alabama game last season, how the couple is trying to marry (even though Texas won't allow it) and how coaches and administrators have responded to his revelation.
Martin has worked for numerous sports jobs, including the Big 12 Conference and assistant sports information director and assistant athletics director at Texas A&M University.
Despite Texas A&M being named the seventh least-friendly college campus for LGBT people, Martin told the site he had no issues coming out to his staff of Aggies in College Station.
Said Martin: "I kept thinking, 'Wait, it's supposed to be a lot harder than this.' But nobody even blinked. It was funny to me. It was encouraging."
He also said Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson has no issue with the couple.
"Coach Patterson is just coach Patterson," Macon said. "He has no problems with our relationship or anything like that. His wife loves Drew."
Said Martin: "It always makes me feel good. In any new situation, there's always a deep-breath moment of, 'Yes you're asking about my personal life and I'm going go tell you,' and when they give a positive response it's always reassuring.
"I know there are many younger folks who are struggling with this, but virtually every reaction I get gives me hope that it's really changing."
Said TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte: "It doesn't matter what religious beliefs you have or your sexual orientation. College sport is accepting of everyone. When you talk about anything that has happened in sports, when you look at Muhammad Ali and Billie Jean King, when you look at social movements, sports have galvanized people. What I care about is, does he treat everyone with respect? Does he represent our university every day with class? That's all I can ask."
In spite of the acceptance from TCU, the State of Texas is not so accommodating in regards to allowing the couple to marry.
"I just wish our politicians were headed in the same direction with their legislation," Martin said.

Definition of assonance in English:
In poetry, the repetition of the sound of a vowel or diphthong in nonrhyming stressed syllables near enough to each other for the echo to be discernible (e.g., penitence, reticence). Compare with alliteration.
Example sentences
- Just look at (and, preferably, listen to) his use of assonance - repeated vowel sounds throughout a section.
- First, it has the qualities of rhythm, alliteration, and assonance verging on rhyme that we might expect of a memorable turn of phrase.
- In all of these cases, the deft repetitions and modulations of consonants and vowels with their subtle assonance and consonance compete for attention with the lines' actual content.
- Example sentences
- By definition, it is a poem with an unlimited number of octosyllabic verses and assonant rhyme in even-numbered verses.
- The beauty of this one is that its a little rhyming verse or at least nicely assonant.
- Example sentences
- 'What I expected' is an adroit compromise between the impulses to form and to freedom: 'twist' fails to rhyme convincingly with 'pass,' but in that failure assonates and alliterates with 'questions.'
- The amhrán or song metres have a richly assonated stanzaic form, and are also accentual.
Early 18th century: from French, from Latin assonare 'respond to', from ad- 'to' + sonare (from sonus 'sound').

My future sister-in-law and my mother and I went to Omaha to buy our wedding dresses. Rose and I were both married in 1935, during the depression era. I bought a white satin gown for $12.50. I already had a pair of white shoes to go with it. I sewed a long slip to wear with the gown. I did not buy a veil because we were watching every penny. A bridal shower brought many useful wedding gifts. They included towels, tablecloths, rolling pin, water bucket and dipper. Also were dishes, pans, and a wash basin which were useful as there were no homes with running water.
My parents furnished me with a Sears rotary sewing machine, bedroom and dining room furniture, a gasoline powered washing machine and a quick meal stove that burned wood and cobs.
Later my husband's parents gave us 60 white hens. My parents gave us 100 baby chicks and an oil burning brooder stove, and four young Holstein cows.
We somehow survived five more years of drought.

Back in 1955 a call went out from the editors of the then Capper's Weekly asking for readers to send in articles on true pioneers. Hundreds of letters came pouring in from early settlers and their children, many now in their 80s and 90s, and from grandchildren of settlers, all with tales to tell. So many articles were received that a decision was made to create a book, and in 1956, the first My Folks title – My Folks Came in a Covered Wagon – hit the shelves. Nine other books have since been published in the My Folks series, all filled to the brim with true tales from Capper's readers, and we are proud to make those stories available to our growing online community.

What's up Dougie,
Damn! Brandon Rios is a buzz saw!! Man, he kept coming and coming. Mike Alvarado tried his best to box at times, but "Bam Bam" was resilient and finally broke him down.
I don't give Brandon too many points for style, but he sure puts on a hell of a show! A match with the Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez winner is a no brainer! What do you think, Dougie? – Miguel, LBC
"Bam Bam" Rios vs. Pacquiao or Marquez? Sure! Why not? Rios isn't in the class of the two future hall of famers, but as he notes he's got youth on his side and – as he showed the boxing world with six and half rounds of primeval brutality with Alvarado – he's a very hard man to beat when he's healthy and motivated.
His infighting ability is just sick. Bottom line: Rios is an exciting fighter. I'd rather watch him fight a crash-test dummy than the majority of the pound-for-pound club members take on the best of their divisions.
As long as he's not in with a 100 percent stylist like Richard Abril, he'll make for a good fight. Plus, he's got a bombastic, sometimes vulgar (but refreshingly honest) personality to keep pre-fight media events and post-fight interviews entertaining.
Rios vs. the winner of Pacquiao-Marquez IV, the Danny Garcia-Erik Morales rematch winner, Lucas Matthysse, Marcos Maidana, Josesito Lopez and even a boxer-puncher like Adrien Broner (provided 'The Problem' beats Antonio DeMarco) would be must-see TV.
Oh yeah, and so would Rios-Alvarado II. The first three rounds of that fight were as good as a bona-fide slugfest gets. And color me impressed with the way Rios withstood Alvarado's strong surge in rounds four, five and six, only to rage back in the seventh after he caught Alvarado.
I would have liked to see Alvarado get just a few more seconds to answer back but I won't second guess Pat Russell. Rios was all over Alvarado and the veteran referee had to take the accumulated punishment from the previous six rounds into consideration.
Anyway, Alvarado (who I thought would win a close decision) didn't lose in any stature on Saturday. In fact, I'm sure he gained more fans with the first loss of his pro career. If Rios-Alavardo II were held at Staples Center next year I bet those two warriors could fill the joint.
What do you think the chances are of Rios-Matthysse happening?
BTW that was definitely a good stoppage in the Rios-Alvarado fight. I don't know why they are questioning it. – Matt
"They" were hoping for a classic ring battle on the level of Gatti-Ward I and Corrales-Castillo I. For that to happen that beautifully savage fight had to go past seven rounds or at least end decisively (in other words, one of the warriors needed to go down swinging if the fight was to be halted).
"They" got greedy. I was one of them. I questioned the stoppage the moment it happened and for a few minutes after. I wanted to see if Alvarado could survive and rally back. I wanted to see if an ultra-badass slugfest could escalate into an all-time great fight.
Then the adrenaline wore off and I was just thankful for what we got to witness and that Alvarado and Rios were not seriously hurt.
Rios-Matthysse can happen but I wouldn't hold your breath. Apart from the bad blood between Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, Rios is better known than Matthysse and he's in line for a pay-per-view caliber showdown with one of two legends. There's no reason for him to take on a monster like Matthysse, especially any time soon after going to war with Alvarado.
However, I'm not going to say the fight will never happen. If Matthysse continues to win and raise his profile among fans – if he were to, say, face and defeat the winner of Garcia-Morales for the bulk of the major 140-pound belts – my guess is the demand for the fight and the TV money that should become available will make it happen.
Hey Doug,
I tuned in late to the Adonis Stevenson-Donovan George fight and it took me around 15 seconds to see that something was wrong with Adonis' hand. However, I don't know why Don George didn't try and take advantage of that. When you're fighting a one-handed fighter isn't it smart to put some more pressure or that's just me being overly critical since I hadn't seen the beating he took in the previous eight rounds?
I'm glad for Adonis though, he's been working hard to put his career back on track after his disastrous venture south of the border (TKO 2 loss to Darnell Boone), however, I don't think he stands much of a chance against a legit 168-pound champ. He's more complete than Jean Pascal but will also fail against top level opposition.
The HBO card on Saturday was hyped as a good one, and half of it was. Alvarado has an unbelievable workrate. I've never seen a guy throw some 140+ punches in a round, which is what Alvarado did according to HBO in round 5. I didn't think the stoppage was premature, unlike Max Kellerman. Alvarado hadn't tried anything after getting rocked, even if his hands weren't completely down, he was under serious fire for at least 10 seconds without trying to even throw something. Good stoppage IMO. I've seen much worse in the last few years.
I was really looking forward to Nonito Donaire-Toshiaki Nishioka but ended up severely disappointed. I always was a fan of Japanese fighters who usually bring it, even if a lot of them have limited resistance, Hozumi Hasegawa being a good example of that IMO. I don't know what was Nishi's strategy but I thought that after being champ for so long, and not losing in 8 years, he knew better than to throw less than 30 punches a round. Donaire was patient enough, and didn't take the bait. I was surprised at the corner stoppage, because Nishi hadn't taken a lot of punishment, even if he was down 9-0 with 2 knockdowns against him.
Last thing on my mind, on November 3rd, Lucian Bute is fighting Denis Grachev, who knocked out your boy Ismayl Sillakh earlier this year. Do you think the Canadian-based Romanian can rebound from the beating Carl Froch put on him or will Grachev put another big 'W' on his record? I thought Bute didn't even try against Froch. I have no idea why, but I sure hope he'll try better in Montreal next month.
Thanks – Guillaume from Canada
I think Bute, who is a much more accomplished and mature professional than Sillakh, will avoid losing focus during his fight with Grachev and getting caught along the ropes as the talented Ukrainian did.
I think Bute will either stop Grachev in the mid-to-late rounds or dominate the tough Russian puncher to a one-sided decision. If Bute struggles at all with "The Pirate," something is wrong. If that happens then I'll have conclude that Froch broke the Romanian southpaw's spirit in their first meeting and I won't like his chances in the rematch.
By the way, don't dismiss "my boy" Sillakh. Once he gets his managerial matters in order, he'll be back.
I was also surprised by the Nishioka stoppage. His legs were a little stiff when he first got up from the second knockdown, but they seemed steady once he was upright. He raised his hands up and looked directly at Raul Caiz Sr. with clear eyes as he nodded "yes" to the veteran referee's question "Are you sure you're OK?"
His corner knew he couldn't beat Donaire so I guess they figured 'Why allow him to take needless punishment between now and round 12?' I think Nishioka wanted to continue, but he didn't argue with his corner. He knew he was beaten by the better man.
Speaking of that better man, I have to think Donaire is a Fighter of the Year candidate with the three bouts he's had in 2012: decisions over 122-pound beltolders Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. and Jeffrey Mathebula and a TKO over THE RING's No. 1-rated junior featherweight for the magazine's vacant title.
Donaire is the only fighter rated in THE RING's Pound-for-Pound Top 10 who fought more than twice this year, and he did so against quality opposition.
I didn't like the Alvarado stoppage at first but it didn't take long for me to agree that Russell made the right call.
Alvarado was averaging 111 punches thrown per round against Rios, according to CompuBox. Those aren't Antonio Margarito numbers but still pretty damn amazing considering that Alvarado was in a fire fight against a fellow banger who was averaging 77 punches thrown – almost all of which were power shots – and connecting with an average of 23.
You're definitely being overly critical of George, especially if you missed the first eight rounds of that fight. He had no business being in the fight after the body shotshe took in the fifth round. George is just crazy f___king tough. He's Brandon Rios tough. But he's not the infighter that Rios is. And he's not a pressure fighter, either. He's a stalking puncher and he wasn't going to corner Stevenson after taking the beating he absorbed in the middle rounds. It's not as easy to cut the ring off on a moving fighter as a prime Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. made it look.
I think Stevenson is a real contender, talented and dangerous enough to win a major title. Unfortunately for him, Andre Ward is the champ of his division. And beltholders Carl Froch and Arthur Abraham are just as tough as George, but they've got the experience to be able to heap punishment right back on the Haiti native.
Still, I'd love to watch Froch-Stevenson or Abraham-Stevenson.
Hi, I am a huge fan of The Ring. I was just wondering what your feelings are on the newest endeavor called Transnational Boxing Rankings. I am not sure if you are aware of it or not but basically it is an organization that wants honest boxing rankings in an objective format. It has 25 boxing writers that will vote, etc.
Have any of your staff writers been contacted to be part of it? It seems this organization is a direct counter to your magazine as they state in their blog that The Ring is no longer objective. I wonder what makes these 25 writers more objective then other writers? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you for your response. – Sean
I don't have a lot of insight on the Transnational Boxing Rankings but I'm familiar with some of the American writers who are on the panel – including Cliff Rold, Michael Woods and Jake Donovan – and I think they are among the best in the business. I recognize some of the other names. I follow TBR founder Tim Starks, Adam Abramowitz and Kelsey McCarson on Twitter and they seem to know their stuff. I'm sure the others are knowledgeable and passionate about boxing as well.
I don't know if any RING contributors or Ratings Panel members have been contacted by TBR. Personally, I would have no problem if they were part of TBR.
I don't feel like we're in competition with other ratings groups, be they sanctioning organizations or independent media.
I don't care for anyone saying that THE RING's ratings are not objective because I don't think any rankings are "objective." There's always opinion involved in ranking boxers and hardcore boxing fans NEVER agree with those opinions 100 percent.
The fine folks at TBR will soon learn that once their ratings get out there a little more. I Google searched the name "Transnational Boxing Rankings" to find the website – here it is, please check it out – and I came across a thread of BoxingScene message boarders already bickering about TBR's ranking Marco Huck over Yoan Pablo Hernandez and Gennady Golovkin over Felix Sturm and Floyd Mayweather over Pacquiao (the usual bulls__t), as well as too many Americans being on their ratings panel.
I took a look at TBR's rankings and I think they're great. I agree with the placement of most of the fighters in most of the divisions. I don't agree with all of the rankings, but I don't have a problem with any of it.
Ya know why? It's pretty much the same group and order in all 17 divisions that we have with THE RING's ratings.
If you have a few hours to kill, go and check out ours and theirs.
You'll see seven or eight of the same boxers in each division's top 10 with only slight various among the top five of each weight class.
So I don't see how TBR is a "direct counter" to RING magazine's ratings. I know some fans and media will state that they just feel better about a ratings organization that isn't owned by a promotional company (in our case, Golden Boy Promotions).
I get it. I don't think we give any extra boost to GBP boxers in our rankings, but I understand the skepticism. Having said that, I'd like to end this mailbag by pointing out that TBR ranks the following GBP boxers higher than THE RING:
Peter Quillin, Floyd Mayweather, Erislandy Lara, James Kirkland, Victor Ortiz, Robert Guerrero, Daniel Ponce de Leon and Abner Mares. (Oh my God! They're a bunch of GBP shills!)

10. Wilfredo Gomez KO 5 Carlos Zarate — October 26, 1978, Roberto Clemente Coliseum, Hato Ray, Puerto Rico
In terms of records, Gomez-Zarate was perhaps the most explosive pairing this sport has ever produced. Zarate entered the match 52-0 with 51 knockouts (including 28 straight) while Gomez was 21-0-1, all wins by knockout. With a combined 72 KOs in 73 wins, there was no way this one was going anywhere near the scheduled 15-round distance.
Both had problems making weight. Zarate, the WBC bantamweight titlist for the past two-and-a-half years, nevertheless scaled 124 on his first attempt while Gomez (who always had weight struggles) was also two pounds over. It took Zarate four attempts to make 122 and, according to the challenger, he also entered the ring with flu-like symptoms. Nevertheless Gomez, three days away from celebrating his 22nd birthday, wisely approached Gomez with respect.
The first three rounds followed the same script: For the first two minutes Gomez circled left and right around the stalking Zarate while flashing jabs that fell short of the target. The final 60 seconds saw Gomez shift into attack mode as he pelted Zarate with hooks and crosses that sparked ear-splitting roars from the partisan crowd. Zarate got in his fair share of licks in round three, but Gomez appeared to have the edge going into the fourth.
Gomez's fourth round surge was dramatic, emotion-fueled and somewhat beyond the rules. It began when a reflexive left to the face floored Zarate near the ropes. A pumped-up Gomez stood over Zarate and hooted at him before referee Harry Gibbs guided him toward the neutral corner. The crowd was so rapturously loud that neither man heard the bell and thus Gomez got in three late punches, one of which sent Zarate tottering to the floor. Gomez tore after Zarate in the fifth and Gibbs ignored a but-for-the-ropes knockdown as well as Gomez striking Zarate with a right to the temple after the challenger slipped. As Zarate arose, his brother/chief second tossed in the towel to end the match, triggering a wild celebration between Gomez and dozens of fans who stormed through the ropes.

Getting to Green
An administrator pushes, on a shoestring budget, to move his university and the world toward a more sustainable equilibrium.
One of the issues which often raises its head when I speak about sustainability to local groups -- both on the Greenback campus and in the community of Backboro -- is best phrased as "we can't afford to be sustainable." To my mind, "I can't afford it" is, like "I didn't have time", a less confrontational way of saying "it wasn't important enough to me." That being the case, I try to address the objection strategically, not directly. Not "spend the money, dammit!', but "here's why we need to find a way to make it affordable". As of Wednesday, however, there are new resources which will help address the issue -- one for auditory learners, and one for visual/verbal quantitative types.
At the University of Vermont, the issue was addressed in a more head-on fashion on Wednesday afternoon. Localist Bill McKibben (of Middlebury) debated globalist Russell Roberts (of George Mason). The UVM write-up is pretty descriptive of the proceedings, and contains a link which will let you listen to the entire debate. (You can even download it to your ipod for future reference.) It's about an hour long, and well worth the investment of time.
Meanwhile, the inherent link between solving the sustainability crisis and solving the global economic crisis is gaining both political and intellectual currency. Whoever's elected US President will unarguably come out with a plan to solve the latter by creating jobs to address the former, and the Worldwatch Institute has just published a report quantifying the relationships between the two. The summary is free, but the actual report (hardcopy or electronic version) runs $12.95. That price is by no means exorbitant, but I do wish they'd made the digital copy cheaper, if only to provide a disincentive to kill trees. Still, with 60 pages of (mostly quantitative) data, it's likely most purchasers of the electronic version will print it out anyways. (Sigh ...)

"Real Housewives" Star Is In Bankruptcy
There's a situation in the Garden State, and we're not talking about "Jersey Shore" star Mike Sorrentino's abs.
Nope, we're talkin' 'bout the financial troubles of fellow reality star (and tanning aficionado) Teresa Giudice, one of Bravo's "Real Housewives of New Jersey."
Giudice, whose temper, shopping sprees and stage mothering garnered buzz on the reality show's first season, and husband Giuseppe Giudice filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection last fall, the New York Post reported last weekend.
The Giudices' fancy new mansion, which the couple spent the first season decorating and moving into, is facing foreclosure by the mortgage lender, while other properties, including a four-bedroom home, have been handed back to lenders. The couple owes $10.8 million to creditors, court papers show, including about $19,700 in credit-card debt to Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom. (Teresa Giudice's shopping sprees—including big purchases of furniture for the new home and clothes for her daughters—were well depicted on the show.)
We're not sure when the Giudices are due back in bankruptcy court, but we'd recommend that the court clear itself of any tables, just in case.

The saga continues for one-time country star Mindy McCready, who is facing more legal troubles after she disappeared with her son, Zander, from her father's Florida home earlier this week. [1]
Now Mindy says she will probably not be able to bring her 5-year-old son back to Florida to fulfill a judge's order because she is nearly seven months pregnant with twins, according to the Associated Press [2].
Mindy told the AP Wednesday (Nov. 30), which was her 36th birthday, that she and her mother have had a long custody battle over Zander. Her mother was awarded guardianship of the boy in 2007.
Florida Department of Children and Families said a missing persons report was filed with police Tuesday night after Mindy took Zander from her father's home.
On Tuesday, DCF discovered that Mindy and the boy were not at her father's home and a judge ruled she must return the boy voluntarily by 5 p.m. Thursday (Dec. 1) or risk an arrest warrant.
The name of the babies' father is not known.

Harvard beats BU 5-4 in Beanpot 3rd place game
BOSTON Michael Del Mauro scored the go-ahead goal with 2:08 left to give Harvard a victory over Boston University in the Beanpot consolation game on Monday night.
BU, which won the tournament 29 times in its first 58 years, finished fourth for the first time since 1980. Harvard had not beaten BU in the event since 1994.
BU took a 4-3 lead on Alex Chiasson's second goal, with 5:55 left in the third period. But Danny Biega tied it less than 2 minutes later, and then Del Mauro gave the Crimson the lead less than 2 minutes after that.
Ryan Carroll stopped 45 shots for Harvard (5-18-1). Kieran Millan made 24 saves for BU (14-9-7).

Restructuring Veteran Headed for Third Avenue Management
Rothschild's David Resnick, head of global financing advisory and a veteran restructuring banker, is leaving the investment bank to become president of Third Avenue Management, said people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Resnick, 52 years old, will move to Third Avenue to help expand the firm's alternative-investment business, developing additional private funds, one of these people said. He will start in September and report to David Barse, Third Avenue's chief executive, the person said. Mr. Resnick's pending departure was disclosed internally at Rothschild on Monday, the person said.
Third Avenue manages roughly $13 billion and was founded by Martin Whitman in 1986. Its legacy is investing in troubled companies but these days the firm puts most of investors' money in "value" investments through mutual funds that bet on well-capitalized companies.
Mr. Resnick won't be making investments at Third Avenue but will oversee development of new funds and help hire people with investing experience to manage money, one of the people said.
Mr. Resnick spent more than a dozen years at Rothschild and advised companies on some of the biggest restructurings and bankruptcies. He is currently advising American Airlines parent AMR Corp. in its bankruptcy case. He previously advised large auto-parts supplier Delphi Automotive on its bankruptcy reorganization and Brazil's JBS SA on its $800 million acquisition of a majority stake in Pilgrim's Pride Corp. That investment financed the Texas chicken company's emergence from bankruptcy proceedings in 2009.
Bloomberg earlier reported Mr. Resnick's move.

JEFFERSON CITY - The Missouri Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association released the All-State basketball teams for Classes 1-3 today.
In Class 3, Charleston's Jamarcus Williams was named a first team member after being selected second team last year.
Williams, a 6-foot-5 junior, averaged 19 points and 11 rebounds per game for Charleston's second place Class 3 team.
"I kind of figured he'd be first team," said Charleston coach Danny Farmer. "There's not enough you can say about Jamarcus. He was our leader. He was our rebounding leader, leading scorer, he had the best free throw percentage. He's the most consistent player we've had all year. Anything we needed, he could do. He's an all-around ball player. He's a super player and a super kid."
Williams was joined by junior teammate Shawn Sherrell, who was selected as a second team performer. The point guard averaged 12 ppg, 5 assists and 5 steals per game.
"Sherrell does whatever it takes for us to win the game," said Farmer. "He sacrifices his game for us to win the game. He could have had a lot bigger numbers, but he gets the ball to where we want the ball in order to help us win. He accepted that role and he deserves this honor."
In Class 1, Bell City was represented well after a second place finish. The Cubs' William Bogan, a 6-9, 300-pound junior, was named first team after averaging 19 ppg, 12 rpg and 4 blocks per game.
"Will's such a dominant player," said Bell City coach Brian Brandtner. "When you play us, you have to gameplan against him first and foremost. What people don't realize is when you're that big and strong, those smaller guys are just hammering him and hammering him and he had to play through a lot of that. When you're that big, they're not going to call those fouls. I thought he did a great job of playing through that stuff and his numbers show it. He's very unselfish and people don't realize that."
Bogan's selection is even more impressive considering this was his first year of playing organized basketball. He spent most of his life honing his skills on the playgrounds in Charleston, before moving to Bell City a year ago.
"He made huge strides this year," said Brandtner. "His footwork came a long way. His sense of a team game came a long way. You can play in the park all day long and not think about defensive positioning or offensive spacing. All that stuff was introduced to Will for the first time this year and I thought he did a phenomenal job of grasping those concepts. He's quick learner and that really speaks volumes for him."
Bogan was joined by senior Jeff Liggins, who was named as a second team player after averaging 10 ppg this season. He was picked as a first team player last year.
"Jeff moved to a guard spot and was willing to let his numbers take a hit for a while until he figured everything out and the team figured everything out," said Brandtner. "That's Jeff Liggins in a nutshell right there. If a coach could have five Jeff Liggins, then you'd never lose a game. He's a great kid and a great role model. He's really going to be missed."
Also in Class 1, Risco senior Andrew Halford was picked as a second team all-
stater after a season in which he averaged 23.2 ppg, 10.2 rpg and 2.6 apg. It's believed to be Risco's first all-state player since 1975 when Andy Smelser made it.
Halford, a 6-2 swingman, led Risco to one of its best seasons in recent memory with a 14-11 record and a 6-2 mark in the Tri-County Conference.
"That's a big accomplishment," said Risco coach Brandon Blankenship. "It's kind of a surprise to me because we didn't advance that far in the playoffs. It's especially a big accomplishment in that regard. I'm sure the big game Andrew had against Bell City helped out. He carried our team, that's for sure. And he produced in the big games, Bell City, Clarkton and Campbell. He really had big numbers in those games. I know he's very happy and pleased with this honor."
Also in the area, Delta's Shea Smith was picked as a first team all-state player after leading the Bobcats to a third place finish in the state.
Her teammate, Kaci Menz, was picked as a second team all-stater.
In an interesting move, Saxony Lutheran's Lauren Lueders, who played with the boys team and averaged 10 ppg, was picked as a first team all-stater. She is headed to Vanderbilt University.
In Class 2, Naylor sophomore phenom Hailee Deckard was picked as a first team all-state player. Van Buren's Sara Hoskins was picked as a second team all-stater.
Also in Class 2, South Pemiscot's Anthony Jones was picked for first team. He was a second team player last year.
And Advance's Alex Steil was named a second team all-stater after leading the Hornets to a third place finish at state.
In Class 3, Twin Rivers scoring machine Michael Lance was named first team all-state.
Doniphan's 6-10 shot-blocking force Matt Rogers was named to the second team all-state squad.
In Class 3 girls, Morgan Davis was named first team after leading Doniphan to a fourth place finish at state. And Greenville's super sophomore Sarah Woodgeard was named to a second team all-state selection.
Also interesting to note, former Sikeston resident Joe Lincoln was picked as a second team all-state performer at Tipton High School in Class 2.
Now a 6-4 junior, Lincoln started for the Sikeston Bulldogs as a freshman where he averaged 10 ppg and was a top-notch 3-point shooter.

NEW ORLEANS — Twelve years after his first appearance in the Super Bowl was marred by questions about his legal problems in Atlanta, Ray Lewis was back on that stage Tuesday, again being asked to defend his integrity and reputation.
Just hours after a Sports Illustrated story surfaced that alleged that Lewis used a banned substance to accelerate his return from a torn triceps this season, the Ravens' linebacker emphatically denied using performance-enhancing drugs in an hour-long session with reporters at Super Bowl XLVII media day.
"Every test I've ever took in the NFL, there's never been a question if I ever even thought about using anything," said Lewis, who has announced he will retire after Sunday's game against the 49ers. "To even entertain stupidity like that, tell him to try and get his story out with somebody else."
"Him" is Mitch Ross, a co-owner of Sports with Alternatives to Steroids. Ross told SI that Lewis requested products aimed at speeding his recovery from the triceps injury, suffered Oct. 14. Lewis came back for the Jan. 6 playoff opener against Indianapolis and has led the league in tackles during the playoffs.
One of the products Lewis was allegedly using was a deer antler velvet spray, which the magazine reported including the substance IGF-1, which is banned by the league. Lewis denied using the spray. Ross told the Baltimore Sun over the phone that he provided a recovery protocol for Lewis after his surgery.
"It's a shame that Ray is denying taking it," Ross said. "The NFL is uneducated. This is not a steroid. It's not illegal. Ray is not a cheater."
Ross said the deer antler velvet spray with IGF-1 is akin to human growth hormone, but is naturally produced in food products. Team officials, including coach John Harbaugh, defended Lewis, saying he has never failed a drug test.
MOSS CLAIMS 'GREATEST' TITLE: San Francisco's Randy Moss called himself "the greatest receiver ever to play this game" during media day.
Moss was once the NFL's most dominant receiver, but now he's 35, on the downside of a career that seemed over a year ago. After playing for three teams in 2010, he didn't play last season. He then joined the 49ers this offseason but with one big caveat: Moss would no longer be the center of the offense.
He understands, but doesn't necessarily like his role.
"I've always considered myself a playmaker," he said. "Blocking? Yeah, I understand that's part of the game. Me going out to be decoy? Yeah, I know that's part of the game. But for me not to be out here making plays is something I just don't understand."
Then Moss — second all-time in touchdown catches (156), third in receiving yards (15,292) and ninth in catches (982) — remembered why he's here.
"If that's going to win me a ring," he said, "yeah, I accept that."

Charleston, WV (AP) -- West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw says a bogus web site that claimed to be operated by a Charleston credit union has been shut down.
McGraw said Wednesday his office worked with Godaddy Group Inc., a domain registration company, to shut down the site, statecreditunion.net.
Consumers applying for loans through the web site received e-mails falsely identifying the company as West Virginia State Credit Union.
To qualify for loans, consumers were told they had to pay $1,250 for insurance.
Consumers were directed to wire the money to a location in Canada. After that, McGraw says they "never heard from the crooks again."
McGraw says he will refer complaints about the scam to Canadian authorities.

about the bed I slept in,
The bed I slept in,
The bed I never slept in.
It was in my bedroom,
My bedroom,
The bedroom I never had.
It wasn't mine, but it was.
A ceiling that slanted downward
My bed in the crook against the wall,
The sun breaking through the fog
Revealing the flowers of a spring day.
A Spring day,
A day that didn't exist,
that couldn't exist.
It didn't happen.
I remember the feeling of euphoria,
Waking up to the perfect day,
The perfect day,
The perfect day I never had.
So clear the memory,
So vivid and sharp.
Would that it were,
Would that it were.
My withered skin with a yellow cast
laughs at me on this winter's morn.
Such a youth could never have lived,
Such a perfect day never occurred.
Sitting in this cursed chair
on this winter's morn,
This winter's morn,
This gray day that won't pass away.
I dream of my youth
and who I was,
Who I was,
Who I still am.
Tears trace the rivers of my face,
Rivers cut by decades of tears,
Of fears, of heartache and years,
I rock, I rock, I rock.
I wish I could run,
I wish I could ride,
I wish I could walk,
Trapped in this chair of age.
I dream of my youth,
of my lives,
of my wife,
of my life.
Today is all I have,
A pitiful shadow of what I was
What I am,
Who I am.
I wish for the warmth of Spring,
A ray of sunlight
The touch of sunight,
As darkness clouds my sight
On this day,
This cold day.
This cold, long day.
This cold, long, Winter's day.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Who you gonna call? The ghostbusting students! hree Reno college students have formed Nevada Student Paranormal Investigation or NSPI. They say they'll look into things that go bump in the night for free. The NSPI guys have a range of high-tech gear including infrared video equipment and a thermal scanner. Sean O'Callaghan, a political science and economics major, says they've recorded the ghostly voice of what sounds like a woman at an old stagecoach way station. But they've also proved unfounded a rumor of ghosts at a Virginia City cemetery. The students say strange lights were actually reflections of car headlights off polished tombstones. But they won't be doing any ghost hunting Halloween night. The students tell the Reno Gazette-Journal that Halloween is just too noisy and busy.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - It's a real shot in the arm -- for fluprevention. The University of Minnesota is claiming a new Guinness record for the most flu shots given in a single day. University officials say more than 11,500 people got their flu shots on the Twin Cities campus yesterday. Sixty-plus health professionals gave the shots at four locations. The previous Guinness flu shot record was about 3,200, set in Sanford, Florida, a couple of years ago.
SAN ANSELMO, Calif. (AP) - On trial for car theft -- so, how do you go to court? Police in San Anselmo, Calif. charge Tony Van showed up at the courthouse in a stolen Lexus SUV. Police say they investigated the SUV after some people reported several Yorkshire terriers had been left alone. Van was also charged with animal cruelty and leaving animals in an unattended vehicle. As for the first case, the San Francisco hairstylist was convicted of having a stolen $125,000 Porsche Carrera.
BOSTON (AP) - Kids are getting a break from the Boston Public Library. Library officials say young readers won't have to pay any lost book charges or fines on overdue books returned this coming Saturday. All is forgiven for more than 50,000 children who use the Boston Public Library. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and Boston Public Library President Amy Ryan say they'll summon a magician to make those fines "disappear." Officials say they hope forgiving the late fees will encourage children to use the library.
NEW YORK (AP) - It's a court case with a lot of bull. A Queens woman is suing a New York City restaurant over a mechanical bull accident. Rachel Love claims she was a victim of negligence and "assault and battery" because she was allowed to ride the bull at Johnny Utah's in Rockefeller Center. The suit contends employees of the Western-themed restaurant shouldn't have permitted someone who was drunk on the bull. The court papers don't detail her injuries. In September, a man sued the restaurant over another claimed
bucking bull accident.
LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) - Deputy John Maney has a new partner -- one he found himself. The Polk County, Florida, lawman wanted a new drug dog, but his chief said they didn't have the budget. So, Maney went to the pound, found and adopted a puppy, and trained it. Maney has the experience. He has worked with five K-9 cops before. Maney said he passed on several dogs before finding a black lab mix he named Rezadu. It took 12 weeks to train Rezadu. The pup did so well, he's now a nationally certified narcotics dog.

CD changers are getting rarer. You won't find any luxury CD changers (they're all single-disc players these days), but people still love the convenience of a good multidisc changer.
The Sony CDP-CE500 (Est. $150) is the best-selling CD player of any kind at Amazon.com, BestBuy.com and Crutchfield.com -- and one of the best-rated. No other CD changer even comes close.
"I was warned by audiophile friends to avoid multiple disk CD players, but I love the convenience and I love being able to shuffle and play several albums," writes one shopper at Crutchfield.com. "So I was willing to take a 'lesser' player, but that is not the case at all."
It may be cheap, but the Sony isn't stripped-down. It handles five CDs at once, plus its USB jack lets you play music from a thumb drive -- or even record your CDs to a drive, as MP3s.
"Wonderful MP3 player alternative!" one Amazon.com owner writes. In fact, several say they bought the Sony mostly for this feature.
Most, though, simply want an easy-to-use CD changer -- and the Sony delivers. Its five-disc carousel lets you swap discs while one is playing. You can program the Sony to play tracks in a certain order, shuffle them (all discs/files or within a disc/file) or repeat.
The Sony reads the types of discs most people have (including CD, CD-R/-RW and MP3s burned to disc). Stick in a USB drive with MP3, WMA and AAC files on it, and the Sony will read those too.
How does it sound? Well, experts haven't critiqued the Sony (they ignore cheap CD players), but hundreds of owners are pretty pleased.
"All of my old CDs sound great, even the ones that skipped all over the place on my previous component," writes one at Crutchfield.com.
No, it's not audiophile-quality -- but at this price, owners don't expect that.
As one Amazon.com owner says: "If you want a player that will deliver the musical clarity an audio CD is capable of producing, you will probably have to be prepared to spend more."

Angels in America, Part Two: Perestroika
by Tony Kushner
Angels in America, Part Two: Perestroika Act 5, Scene 5 Summary
- We're back in Heaven.
- A voice (the same from the beginning of the play) declares that we're in the "Hall of he Continental Principalities" (5.5.2).
- The voice goes on to say that there are six of seven angels at this meeting of the Emergency Council. The angels all represent a different part of the world: Antarctica, Asiatica, Europa, Oceania, Africanii, and Australia.
- The heavenly beings sit at a table covered with a really old map of the world. The table is full of old stuff, like newspapers, clay tablets, quill pens, and astrological equipment.
- The angels are gathered around a really old 1940s-style radio. The radio is reporting about the nuclear meltdown in Chernobyl. It sounds terrible. Some of the angels feel bad, but Antarctica thinks people deserve it for abusing the earth.
- The angel of America shows up with Prior.
- Prior demands they take the book back. He argues that it's impossible for humanity to stop progressing. Migration is just part of what living things have to do.
- He adds that they should stop waiting around for God to return, because he's not coming back. He also thinks they ought to sue God for abandonment.
- The angel Oceana notes that Prior wants to go on living. They try to convince him otherwise, saying the world is in for lots of terrible things in the future.
- Prior doesn't care. "I want more life," he says and asks them to bless him (5.5.57).
- As he walks away, the angels make a mystical sign as if to bless him.
- Before exiting, Prior gives them some parting advice: "And if He returns, take Him to Court. He walked out on us. He ought to pay" (5.5.58).

Mick Foley on why he returned to WWE
Mick Foley has revealed why he rejoined the WWE after a lengthy stint with rival company TNA.
In an interview on Monday Night Mayhem, Foley revealed he is content with a reduced role that only sees him appear on TV on special occasions.
He said: "One of the main reasons I wanted to come back to the WWE was because there are so many ways to make a contribution to the product without even being on the show.
"I didn't have any expectations to be an on-air personality, anything I get to do on the show is a real bonus for me. I'm happy with whatever comes my way."

Another Look At: Choose Your Own Adventure Books by Daniel Kraus
Since its inception in 1969 with the publication of John Donovan's I'll Get There. It Better Be Worth the Trip, LGBTQ literature for young adults has been dominated by contemporary realism. Of the 798 titles with LGBTQ content published through 2015, there have been only 25 genre titles: 15 historical, 5 horror, and 5 mystery. I exclude romance, because by far the lion's share of LGBTQ realistic novels contain elements of romance but are not romance novels per se. But what about speculative fiction and LGBTQ?

This course provides an overview and analysis of feminist theories and practices as they
have emerged within the United States. In particular the course will explore the ways the
intersections of race, gender, class and sexuality as well as the politics of difference
have shaped feminist theories and activisms. The course emphasizes understanding feminist
theory within the political, historical and cultural contexts in which they were developed
and taking into account the ways such theories address practical questions and debates
regarding strategies for social change and women's lived experiences. Thus we will also
explore the ways that feminist theories have engaged, emerged from or shaped different
forms of political activism and debates from the abolitionist movement and pornography to
gay marriage and antiviolence organizing.
