The New Zealand men's softball team has suffered an embarrassing defeat to an Auckland United All-Stars team just five weeks out from the world championships in Auckland.
The Black Sox were beaten 3-1 by the Auckland selection and it could have been worse - a fourth run was disallowed after the base runner failed to tag third on the way home.
The scratch combination, selected by organisers of the Vic Guth Tournament played in the weekend, were always on top of the national side who were playing their first game together as they build up to next month's world championships. They collected runs off all three New Zealand pitchers - Heinie Shannon, Penese Iosefo and Nik Hayes - used over the five innings played.
The lessons did not end with the scoreline. Black Sox reserve Nathan Nukunuku also slid aggressively into second, taking out short stop Tyson Byrne and clearing the dugouts in the process.
"Nathan paid us the ultimate compliment with his approach," Black Sox coach Eddie Kohlhase said.
"That's how teams will play against us at the world championships. That was one of the best things we took out of this game - the understanding that we can't take a backward step.
"In terms of combinations, it was the first time out on the park, we were a little bit rusty, we missed a couple of cut plays and our pitching can only improve. My message was, you don't a world championship on January 28. Our aim is to be ready by March 1."
Kohlhase took a fairly conservative approach to the match, keeping a number of his veterans on the sidelines for most of the game. Donny Hale was unavailable, captain Rhys Casley and fourth pitcher Jeremy Manley - both returning from injury - took no part (although Casley led the charge onto the diamond after Nukunuku's slide) and Thomas Makea was used only as a pinch hitter at the death.
Fatigue also played a part. All the Black Sox roster, including Casley and Manley, had just completed a full weekend of tournament play, and Shannon and Iosefo had just pitched the final of the Vic Guth Tournament, won 4-1 in extra innings by the latter's Northcote outfit.
"There were a whole lot of guys who had played seven or eight games, but we told them we had to replicate a world tournament, and we just had to get out there and play," Kohlhase said. "But it was the same for the other team.
"We have to work on our pitching accuracy, our fielding wasn't too bad and we haven't even started working on our running game. There were probably one or two situations where we would have done some things differently, but those are good things to work on."
From a wider perspective, the weekend was a success for Brad Rona, who led Northcote to victory with a two-run homer and MVP honours for the tournament. Casley, still battling back to full fitness after shoulder surgery, was top batter, averaging 0.538.
Rona and Casley were named along with Tyrone Bartorillo, Daniel Milne and Ben Enoka in the tournament team.
The Black Sox next assemble to contest the Brother Patrick Tournament in Auckland from February 8-10.
They open their quest to regain the world title they lost to Australia four years ago against Mexico on March 1 at Auckland's Rosedale Park and will also face Canada, Japan, Argentina, Philippines, Colombia and the Netherlands in pool play.

Epilogue – Ecological Literacy – excerpt from page 297Reconnecting with the web of life means building and nurturing sustainable communities in which we can satisfy our needs and aspirations without diminishing the chances of further generations. For this task we can learn valuable lessons from the study of ecosystems, which are sustainable communities of plants, animals and microorganisms. To understand these lessons, we need to learn the basic principles of ecology. We need to become, as it were, ecologically literate. Being ecologically literate, or "ecoliterate," means understanding the principles of organization of ecological communities (ecosystems) and using those principles creating sustainable human communities. We need to revitalize our communities – including our educational communities, business communities, and political communities – so that the principles of ecology become manifest in them as principles of education, management, and politics.

I respect Barack Obama's right to repudiate his pastor's comments, as he did, but I respect even more his refusal to throw the man overboard in a practice we witnessed all too often with the Clintons when they came under right-wing attack. Hillary did it again Tuesday, telling the right-wing Pittsburgh Tribune-Review editorial board that Wright "would not have been my pastor." So she says, but the record shows she was there in the White House on Sept. 11, 1998, when her husband posed for a photo with the Rev. Wright and was grateful for his support in the midst of that wrath-of-Leviticus blue dress flap. Ingrate.

We must learn to avoid war and develop a general will to peace. I believe the key to this development is to learn the truth about the real causes and effects of wars so that we can see through the false propaganda which is used by political leaders to convince us to go to war.

Politics is not about public interest but someone's special (economic) interest.

I was pleased long ago, and even moreso now, to be achieving connections between polemics and more profound forms of philosophy--partly because I agreed with Thomas Mann, that "the destiny of man in our times presents itself in the form of politics," and because I agreed with Nietzsche that mass-slavishness and nihilistic hybris were combining to form a danger of "Great Politics" the like of which the world had never seen (a prevision clearly of Nazi imperialism and nihilism), but even moreso because political culture presents everywhere a concrete profile of the actual "values" and "dysvalues" of any given society. Politics is our aggregate or collectively effective character, replete with delusions and murderous predilections for irrealities and deceptions. The state, as Plato remarked, is the soul writ large.

What does it really mean to be a leftist in the early part of the 21st century? What are we really talking about? And I can just be very candid with you. It means to have a certain kind of temperament, to make certain kinds of political and ethical choices, and to exercise certain analytical focuses in targeting on the catastrophic and the monstrous, the scandalous, the traumatic, that are often hidden and concealed in the deodorized and manicured discourses of the mainstream. That's what it means to be a leftist. So let's just be clear about it.

I've found that it's hard to find information on who to contact about these sorts of things. Normally on sites the policy is to e-mail a staff member for help with registration and other site-related issues, but I have no idea which staff here specialize in that kind of thing (kind of sad after being here for years... ). I tried giving said member a link to where they could find Hinckley's contact info at Brickzone.net, but he hasn't gotten any response via e-mail.
If anyone can help Gatanui solve his particular problem, I'm sure he'd appreciate it greatly (he can probably be contacted most easily through e-mail or Flickr if you give me a name/address I can pass onto him). But also I think the registration form should make it easier to find who to contact if you're having difficulty with registration. It's possible that the answer to the problem has been in front of both of us this whole time, but I haven't seen any obvious solutions.
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.

We don't mean to be cheesy, but it's the holiday season and it's time for cheese trays! Have you ever thought about making your own cheese tray? What should you put on it?
In this blog post, learn about the different types of cheeses and which ones are great to put on a cheese tray. Impress your guests with some new variety. Also learn about Rada Cutlery's Cheese Knife, Party Spreader, and Cheeseball Quick Mixes.
Cheese 101, An Introduction
Chef Blake, a guest chef in the Rada Test Kitchen, has a great video where our lesson in cheeses comes from. Scroll down to the bottom of this post for the video.
In the meantime, however, here's the lowdown on the different kinds of cheese:
These are soft and easy cheeses to work with.
- Goat Cheese
- Mozzarella
- Feta
- Ricotta
- Cream Cheese
These types of cheeses are great to melt down and make great fondues.
- Gouda
- Port Salute
- Fontina
- Provolone
- Cheddar
- Swiss
- Greer
Washed Rind & Bloomy Rind
Washed rind cheeses are brined in salt water. They are soft on the inside, which can make them good to work with as well. Bloomy rinds, on the other hand, have a mold that grows on the outside to preserve it.
- Tellegio (washed)
- Limberger (washed)
- Munster (washed)
- Brie & Camaber (bloomy)
Blue vein cheeses are injected with a mold and aged.
- Maytag
- Gorgonzola
- Stilton
- Roquefort
Watch Chef Blake's Video (further below at the bottom of the post) for his suggestions and to learn a little bit more about where each type of cheese comes from.
Making a Cheese Tray
Now that you know about all the different kinds of cheeses, here's how to build a good cheese tray.
Chef Blake made his cheese tray using a little cheese from each category. He used fresh mozzarella, Danish blue cheese, a five-year aged yellow cheddar, parmessan cheese, and some goat's cheese.
Try using the Rada Cutlery Cheese Knife to prepare your cheese into slices. The Rada Cheese Knife's special serrated blade cuts into any kind of cheese, hard or soft, while the cutouts help the cheese to release.
Other unique features include an angled handle to provide extra leverage, a ridge to split the cheese when cutting and a forked end for easy serving.
To make your cheese tray unique, try following Chef's Blake instruction. He finely chopped up dates to add to the parmesan cheese. He also rolled some blue cheese in black pepper.
Items to use for cheese accompaniments could include everything from crackers and nuts to dried apricots, grapes, and black walnuts.
Easy & Flavorful Cheeseballs
If you're interested in just serving cheeseballs, it's easy to go to the grocery store and pick one up. But it's also easy to try a Rada Quick Mix Cheeseball.
Rada Quick Mix Cheeseballs are easy, because all you need is some cream cheese and the seasoning and topping pack that you can purchase from your local Rada fundraiser, your local Rada reseller, or the Rada Kitchen Store.
We'll also bet that our cheeseballs pack a lot more flavor than any store-bought appetizer!
Rada Quick Mix Cheeseballs come in three flavors:
Once you've picked your favorite, also pick up the Rada Cutlery Party Spreader. This is a must have kitchen utensil to spread cheese onto crackers.
Cheese Classification Video – Overview of Various Cheeses
Follow Chef Blake's guidance about looking for the right kind of cheese for you and his personal recommendations. Also, at the end watch a cheese tray being made from start to finish and the different cutting techniques he uses with the Rada Cheese Knife.

Types of Cheese Video transcript:
Hello and welcome back to Rada's Test Kitchen. My name is Blake Landeau and I'm here to teach you some basics of the culinary, and today we're working with cheeses. I'm going to show you the classifications of cheeses, the types of animals they come from and then we're going to put together a cheese plate.
Under the category of fresh cheese, you're going to have goat cheese, fresh mozzarella, feta, ricotta, and cream cheese. Mostly soft, easy to work with, good tasting. My favorite is the goat cheese. I love that tang, the sharpness of it.
Next we have the semi-soft. Gouda, port salute, fontina, and provolone. Provolone will probably be the hardest of these. It's considered a little bit firmer than a soft cheese. Amongst those, gouda is really good. The smoked gouda is really good. Fontina is nice and milky. These are the types of cheeses that melt down good for fondue.
In the semi-hard/firm, we have cheddar that reigns supreme. We also have the Swiss and the greer.
We have a washed rind amongst these here. They are brined in a salt water. Tellegio, Limberger, and Munster. The Tellegio is my favorite. It's got a horrid raunchy smell to it, but it's got a flavor like milk and butter. They are soft on the inside, you can consider them a soft cheese.
Then we've got a bloomy rind. What that is is a mold that grows on the outside to preserve it. Bree and Camaber are the two cheeses under that classification.
Then there's blue. Blue vein cheeses are injected with a mold and aged, and it creates the molding process. Maytag out of Iowa here is one of my favorite. The Penicillin mold is created by the IowaStateUniversity and they keep them in the hills of Newton, Iowa. An amazing blue cheese. Gorgonzola out of Italy, Stilton out of England, and Roquefort out of France. Stilton, a close second for favorite.
What specific milk they use to make the cheese is what helps to define the characteristics. Cow, sheep, goat, water buffalo, yak and camel. The Water Buffalo makes really good fresh mozzarella. The Italians use that a lot. They also make a really good buffalo blue with great flavor.
Each of these cheeses, there's millions of makers out there, and the best of them come right out of Wisconsin. The French are incredible, the monks who have been doing it for thousands of years. But we're going to go over and create a cheese plate to show how you can put together a plate for your friends and family for the next get-together.
Here we have the cheeses we just went over. I have fresh mozzarella, blue which is Danish blue, a five-year aged yellow cheddar, parmesan cheese, and some goat's cheese. What we're going to do is put it on a nice piece of slate which makes a really good cheese plate. You could use cutting boards too. We're also going to put grapes and dates with it, some dried apricots, and some crackers. And some walnuts too. So you can use candied nuts, you can use pecans, but walnuts have really good flavor and crunch.
Using the Rada Cheese Knife, we'll go ahead and slice some of these cheeses up. Cut these dates in half. I love the flavor of dates and actual sugar. It goes well with certain cheeses. So we've got the parmessan on there, some aged cheddar. The cool thing about cheddar is that as it ages, it becomes more pungent. And it starts to crumble a little more. We've got some fresh mozzarella here. Fresh mozzarella melts really nice. You can see how milky and smooth that is.
Blue Cheese crumbles. You can see the color of this blue vein. I like it. Sometimes it gets this antique-ish color to it. I grew up eating blue cheese. I owe that to my father. And for the last cheese here for our cheese plate, we'll use this chevret. Take just a little bit and what we'll do is mold it, rolling it in some pepper. Just one more way of presentation. Put a little pepper down on our cutting board. You only want it on the outside. You don't want to roll it, fold it, roll it, fold it. You just want to put a little on top there. That makes it a little easier to handle once you get a little on there. There you go. We have our cheese plate here, we've got some aged cheddar, some parmesan cheese, walnuts, some fresh mozzarella. We have our fresh soft cheese, blue vein cheese, some aged cheddar under the semi-firm, parmesan under firm. So it gives you a nice assortment.
Finish the plate off with some crackers, maybe some salad or balsamic. Hope you learned something about the different kind of cheeses. Leave some comments and stay tuned for more videos.

Fire engine needed
You know there's trouble when the accountant pulls out the good ol' can-kicking metaphor. "We've been kicking the can down the road and now it's stuck in a ditch," said Wenatchee Finance Director Deanne McDaniel. Well, not exactly. It's more like we had a party, drank the can dry, and now we wonder why we're thirsty. The empty can won't satisfy.
This is more than verbal games over a sparse budget. It involves public safety and the fundamental duties of city government. The Wenatchee Fire Department needs a new fire engine, and preferably two. The current equipment is ancient, often broken and nearing the end. The city once prudently set aside money on a regular basis in anticipation of this need. Fire engines are not inexpensive. Two could run to $1 million. But, sadly, the savings were spent elsewhere, partly for a near-bankrupt ice arena. There's nothing left in the can.

The Zend Framework community is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Zend Framework 1.12.5!
This release fixes PHP 5.2 support for the 1.12 series. If you use PHP 5.2 with Zend Framework 1.12, we encourage you to upgrade immediately.
Yesterday's 1.12.4 release provided several security fixes around XML eXternal Entity and XML Entity Expansion attack vectors. Unfortunately, we had not reviewed our patch to consider PHP 5.2 support, and the code contained PHP closures -- which have only been available since PHP 5.3.
The code in the
Zend\Xml component was updated to remove the closures, and tests for all affected components were run to ensure they worked across PHP versions from 5.2 - 5.5.
A big thank you to those contributors who spotted the errors and provided the initial fixes, particularly Martin Hujer and Frank Brückner.

Joaquin Phoenix Calls Awards Season 'Stupidest Thing'
Although he's lauded to take home numerous movie awards this year, Joaquin Phoenix saw them as complete "bulls**t". In a discussion with Elvis Mitchell for Interview magazine, the actor said he does not want to be part of the Oscars or any other award shows which put people in competition.
Phoenix's acting chop in Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" has been applauded as one of the best performances by an actor. He plays Freddie Quell, a former Navy man adrift in a sea of lost souls in postwar America, circa 1950. The film had received the Silver Lion award for directing at this year's Venice Film Festival.
Speaking of his possible inclusion as award contender, Phoenix said, "I think it's bulls**t. I think it's total, utter bulls**t, and I don't want to be a part of it. I don't believe in it. It's a carrot, but it's the worst-tasting carrot I've ever tasted in my whole life. I don't want this carrot. It's totally subjective. Pitting people against each other ...It's the stupidest thing in the whole world."
Phoenix has been nominated twice in the Oscars, once for his role as Commodus in 2000's "Gladiator" and once for his role as Johnny Cash in 2005's "Walk the Line", but he found neither amusing. "It was one of the most uncomfortable periods of my life when 'Walk the Line' was going through all the awards stuff and all that. I never want to have that experience again," he said, adding "I don't know how to explain it - and it's not like I'm in this place where I think I'm just above it - but I just don't ever want to get comfortable with that part of things."

- 2nd Best Serving Jig Review by John Howe
Value Quality Price
The Quality and Craftsmanship can not be beat for the price. It is a lot of tool for the money. Great Bargain. I would not waste my money on the cheap tin serving tools from other manufacturers. With that being said, I have an older Beiter that is hands down the best serving tool on the market. I tried this one due to similar quality at half the price and I am not really disappointed. If I never had a Beiter then I would be extremely satisfied with the BearPaw. However the Beiter has shown me how much better it can be. My biggest complaint is the narrow string guide base. It made it more difficult for it not to twist when serving. When it twists or rotates then it can be seen in the cleanliness of the serving. The Beiter has a wider base and provides more stability thus producing a tighter and cleaner looking serving.
Loading spool - Cumbersome (Much easier on the Beiter)
Serving Tension adjustment - Very Good
Serving consistency - Good (Not as good as the Beiter)
Craftsmanship - Great (Quality and Durability is impressive especially for the money)
Is the Beiter worth double the price? That is up to you! For Me, the Answer is Yes!

- Best there is Review by Rick Barbee
Quality Price Value
for all you stringers out there, here's a tip.
I wore my favorite serving tool slab dab out. I have 5 or 6 different ones, but thought I would upgrade to something a little more sophisticated.
Well, here ya go.
The Bearpaw Serving Tool is hands down the best serving tool I have ever used.
Extremely easy to load.
Extremely easy to keep serving tension how you want it.
Extremely smooth, and easy to operate.
Extremely gentle on both the string & serving during the process.
I've used this one for close to 3 weeks now, and love it more every time I pick it up.
If you're in the market for a new serving tool, I highly recommend this one. Save yourself some time, and frustration, and get it. You'll be glad you did, I guarantee it.
It'll even work well for you well rope twisters also. 8^P / 8^)

MSI Radeon HD 7970 Lightning (Enthusiast Overclocked Graphics Card) Review
Since the release of AMDs 7900 series we have taken a look at several 7970 products from various manufacturers including two factory overclocked models which applied a custom design to the solid AMD base. As is always the case though time to work with a new product results in manufacturers pushing it further and further towards its limit.
Today we have the most extreme 7970 we have received yet, the MSI Radeon 7970 Lightning. On paper MSI have taken this GPU to a whole new level with extra PCB's, voltage read points, power phases and top of the line components so we are going to do the same. Rather than bench the card at its impressive factory overclock we are taking it to the limit, its maximum stable overclock to see how it compares to the reference design as well as an overclocked, 3GB GTX 580.

Learning Objectives: Demonstrate an understanding of the state-level planning, implementation and coordination processes that shape the Oregon's community-based programs. Describe state-level program tools and demonstrate these interrelate and build on each other, both programmatically and for evaluation purposes. Compare the processes and tools by which states may make funding and program decisions for community-based programs, and begin to consider how these processes tools could be modified to fill their own program's unique needs.
Abstract: In 1996, Oregonians passed ballot measure 44. The initiative increased the tax on tobacco products and dedicated a portion of the increase in revenue to tobacco prevention and education. By earmarking a portion of the funds to preventing tobacco use, Oregonians in 1997 began the Tobacco Prevention and Education Program (TPEP). Oregon's program, a national model, is showing marked success in reducing adult prevalence to 20.5% and consumption by 29%.
State funding of community-based tobacco control efforts created 35 county coalitions that engage community members and organizations in community-level efforts to reduce tobacco use. County coalitions are an essential part of Oregon's comprehensive program, working in five best practice areas: building coalitions, creating tobacco-free environments, reducing access to tobacco, reducing promotion and advertising and linkages to cessation.
This workshop provides participants with a solid understanding of the state-level research and planning process that shaped and reshaped Oregon's community-based programs. Through explanation and discussion of Oregon's successful strategies, participants will learn how to plan, implement and maintain community-based programs. Strategies include:
· Funding decisions · Eligible applicants · Working with local governmental entities · Establishment of viable county coalitions · RFP process, best practices, activities, workplan processes · Monitoring techniques for evaluation · Delivering solid training and technical assistance plans
Participants will receive take-home tools they can use for state-level planning:
· RFPs, best practice/activity grids · School-Based Program Resource Guide · Progress reports · Workplan samples · Progress reports
Participants will have the opportunity to work with these tools in the session and to ask questions of TPEP staff.

The Outlook for Commodity Stocks
Leuthold Weeden Capital Management
By Doug Ramsey
December 21, 2012
- Popular sentiment holds that commodities remain in a secular uptrend, but commodity-oriented stocks (Energy and Materials) have been underperforming for more than a year-and-a-half. We're increasingly convinced their 2008 relative strength highs won't be challenged for a very long time.
- Yes, Emerging Market demand may rebound next year. But remember Econ 101, and the day your professor discussed supply? This side of the equation doesn't look as good.
- Among the two commodity-based sectors, Energy looks cheaper and appears much more washed out from a sentiment perspective. Contrarians looking for commodity exposure should favor this sector over Materials.
A common presumption among stock market investors seems to be that the 2008-09 market and economic meltdown only temporarily derailed what remains an Emerging-Markets led, secular bull market in commodities. These bulls have a few data points on their side — notably the move in the CRB Raw Industrials eclipsing its 2008 high in early 2011, a mere two-and-a-half years into the recovery.
We didn't expect industrial prices to rebound as powerfully as they initially did, but not because we doubted demand (especially from Emerging Markets) would rebound rapidly. Instead, we thought growth in production capacity for both energy and non-energy industrial commodities might temper the price rebound. While we underestimated the commodity price rebound, the relative price action of commodity-oriented equities has lately borne out our fears. Both the S&P 500 Energy and Materials sectors are 11-12% below their spring 2011 peaks, and neither group is too far above the relative strength lows they made during the meltdown (Materials) or somewhat afterwards (Energy in 2010). We'd be careful about buying into this price weakness.
Commodity Prices vs. Commodity Stocks
How closely do the stock prices of commodity producers track prices for the underlying commodity? Over the past several years, investors in gold mining shares have learned the painful lesson that the connection can be either weak or nonexistent. But, from a broader perspective, the relative price action of the S&P 500 Materials sector has tracked the inflation-adjusted CRB Raw Industrials quite well over several decades, with the cyclical peaks and troughs in both series generally coinciding (although the inflationary 1970s proved an exception, as shown below).
Focusing on recent action, we consider it a longer-term bearish omen that the S&P 500 Materials sector failed to reach a new relative strength high when the "real" CRB Raw Industrials eclipsed their 2008 high in early 2011.
The link between oil prices and Energy stocks has suffered an even more decisive breakdown post-2008. S&P Energy "relative" valuations tracked crude prices quite closely throughout the 2001-2008 oil boom; however, today's Energy sector relative valuations stand near their early 2009 lows — despite the doubling of the inflation-adjusted price of crude. Rising oil extraction costs are no doubt a partial cause for this "correlation breakdown."
Don't Overlook The SUPPLY Side…
Virtually every bullish argument we hear for commodities is a demand-side one. While we recognize that economics as a profession has suffered a heavy reputational hit in the past few years, there's no reason for analysts to entirely abandon the other half of the dismal science (i.e., supply).
While economic script-writers still ascribe last decade's commodity boom to Emerging Market demand, we wrote (particularly during the "Third Act" of the cycle from 2005-07) that capacity restraint was an equally critical force behind the massive price jumps in energy and non-energy commodities in the cycle's final phase. In Energy, capital spending did not begin to ramp up until mid-decade, while the situation in Materials was even more bullish, with capital expenditures dramatically below depreciation levels four years into the commodity boom! (See top and middle charts.)
However, capital spending in both sectors eventually (and predictably) went vertical, contributing to the severity of the 2008 price collapse. After a brief post-meltdown respite, capital spending by commodity producers has rebounded to historically high levels in relation to depreciation. In Materials, the recent capex-to-depreciation ratio eclipsed the level seen at the 2008 high. Bulls on Emerging Market demand should consider whether the commodity producers themselves have already ramped up for this demand. If so (and we lean toward this view), commodity prices and profitability might prove disappointing in the quarters (and perhaps years) ahead.
- Capital spending trends point to profitability risk in both sectors. To some extent, these risks have already been realized. The margins earned at last year's commodity price peaks never approached their record 2008 highs — even though many industrial commodity prices (but not crude oil) did.
- If net margins eventually regress to their 24-year medians, the downside risks are higher in the Energy sector than for Materials.
Commodity Stocks: Valuation & Sentiment
While our analysis on profitability and spending trends highlights the potential risks in both Energy and Materials, comparative valuations suggest investors don't view these risks equally.
- We built "Relative Valuation Composites" for both sectors, consisting of Normalized P/E Ratios, Price/Cash Flow Ratios, and Price-to-Book Ratios — with all measures subsequently compared to the S&P 500. The results show investors have clearly taken a more pessimistic view on the growth and/or sustainability of profitability in Energy. This sector's Relative Valuation Composite trades at just a 9th percentile reading in relation to its 1990-to-date history. The median Price-to-Book Ratio for the S&P 500 Energy sector closed November at 1.51; we can find only a handful of lower figures in our database.
Materials investors clearly have adopted the glass-half-full viewpoint, with the sector's Relative Valuation Composite on the high side of its historical trading range.
- Value managers will probably want to focus more effort on Energy, based on our top-down valuation work.
For more than a decade we've tracked equity options data at the sector and industry group levels in hopes of building a useful "contrary opinion" tool. Ultimately, their predictive window appears too short-term for use in our broad Group Selection framework. However, I still review these charts for potential contrarian themes. Lately, we've seen fairly heavy put-buying on Energy stocks — a short-term (contrarian) positive for this sector.
Commodity Stocks And The CPI-PPI Spread
In 2008 we introduced a "Profit Margin Indicator" to identify whether relative inflation trends favored Commodity sectors (Energy and Materials) or Consumer sectors (Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples). Our simple margin proxy is the spread between Consumer Price Inflation and Producer Price Inflation (with the latter measured by the PPI-All Commodities).
- A positive spread between Consumer and Producer Price Inflation tends to favor Consumer Goods producers; our Consumer Goods composite outperforms the Commodity stock composite by about 600 basis points annually during such periods.
- On the other hand, in a negative spread environment (PPI inflation exceeding CPI inflation), Commodity stocks outperform Consumer Goods stocks by about 700 basis points annualized. Note this spread was negative (and very large) during most of last decade's commodity boom.
- In the wake of recent commodity weakness, the CPI-PPI Inflation spread has jumped back into positive territory — an historically bearish sign for the relative price action of Commodity-oriented stocks versus Consumer Goods stocks. We don't want to overplay this, because this relationship (like other relationships between the economy and stock prices) can be unstable. But it supports a more bearish stance on Commodity stocks.
Post-Script: Are Energy Stocks A "Short-Term" BUY?
We're not "secular" bulls on either Energy or Materials stocks, but we remain alert for shorter-term opportunities to "rent" these stocks (for perhaps a year at a time). From this analysis, Energy might offer contrarians better odds for such a "rental" than Materials. As noted, their valuations are considerably cheaper, with our S&P 500 "Energy Relative Valuation Composite" in its historical bottom decile. In line with these cheap valuations, options activity reveals fairly heavy bearish betting (i.e., put buying) on Energy sector equities.
Cheap valuations and low expectations are all well and good, but where's the catalyst? Consider the Energy sector "Smart Money" model we built in 2006 (shown below). For a BUY signal on Energy stocks, we're seeking the combination of: (1) significant intermediate-term weakness in crude oil prices — indicated by a 10-week decline of 10% or greater; and (2) evidence that "commercial hedgers" in crude oil futures are responding to the price drop by sharply curtailing short positions (indicated by the "indexed" net position rising to a level of 90 or above).
On November 30th (the latest weekly reading before publication), the Smart Money Model was only pennies away from issuing a new BUY signal. Past BUY signals have done a pretty good job of catching intermediate-term relative strength lows in the Energy patch.

Was this the final fight for Miguel Cotto?
Austin Trout delivered an outstanding performance on his way to retaining his WBA "regular" 154-pound title by defeating Miguel Cotto with a unanimous decision on Saturday in New York City.
Although one judge had given only one round to Cotto, the fight was a little closer than that. But there is no doubt that Trout (26-0, 14 knockouts) took everything that Cotto was able to deliver and punished the three-division titleholder with strong, effective punches, cutting off the ring and counter punching.
After the bout, when Showtime commentator Jim Gray asked battered but unbowed Puerto Rican star if he would fight again, Cotto's reply was a tentative "probably."
Trout's victory moved him from No. 9 in THE RING's junior middleweight rankings to No. 3. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. remained No. 1. Saul Alvarez moved to No. 2 and Cotto dropped to No. 4; followed by:
No. 5 Erislandy Lara
No. 6 Vanes Martrosyan
No. 7 Carlos Molina
No. 8 James Kirkland
No. 9 Cornelius Brundage
No. 10 Zaurbek Baysangurov
At heavyweight, undefeated 2008 Olympic bronze medalist David Price looked good stopping Matt Skelton in two rounds on Saturday in Liverpool, England, however, Tyson Fury, who soundly outpointed Kevin Johnson over 12 rounds in Belfast, still remains in THE RING's top 10 rankings. Fury (20-0, 14 KOs) is still a bit more advanced than his fellow British heavyweight standout given the quality of his opposition, but Price is getting close to a top-10 ranking.
Given the extent of the injuries Joan Guzman suffered in his technical decision loss to Khabib Allakhverdiev, he was dropped from the junior welterweight rankings and was replaced at No. 10 by Denis Shafikov (31-0-1, 17 KOs).
There were no other changes in THE RING ratings this week.

Who? The US - that large nation across the pond. It started with Moslems and some rather dodgy bankers, then the completely innocent, then computer hackers who made fun of lax security at the Pentagon, now it is on to US - that is, United Synagogue - member Farshid Gillardian.
What? The new extradition arrangements, which do not demand real evidence, or apparently, real crimes to be committed - certainly not in Messrs. Norris' or Gillardian's cases. The former was not a JC story, but the latter was last week's front page.
Just recently Gary McKinnon's appeal has been quashed, much to the delight of FBI agent Ed Gibson - not too distant relative of Mel the anti-Semite - and McKinnon's family is frantic. 70 years in an American jail and they will not be given visas to visit. Gibson is on record saying McKinnon would fry, and US troops have threatened him with rape.
Brings to mind that Protestant pastor who did nothing till they came for him. Are we to do nothing till they come for Farshid, and his mother wants to chain him and herself to a railing to stop this madness?

Paris stays a dream
Roger's dream of the Grand Slam has once again been destroyed by Rafael Nadal. Our star simply committed too many rrors with Rafa showing a very constant performance: 3-6, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6.
"I am a little sad about the way I played," said Roger. "I have not accomplished what I had planned. But this was certainly not the last time I played here, I'll try again next year."
Roger beat Nadal in the Hamburg Masters final in May to end the Spaniard's record 81-match winning streak on clay, but he never really looked like winning today. He failed to convert his first 11 breakpoint chances, putting pressure on his own serve by repeatedly allowing Nadal to hold. Nadal saved 16 of 17 break points and broke serve four times in 10 chances. He had only 27 unforced errors to 59 for Roger.
Nadal relentlessly probed his opponent's weaker side, sometimes forcing Roger to hit half a dozen backhands in a rally. Roger did have chances to take command at different points in the match - but unfortunately never really succeeded.
You are allways a winner for everybody because your abilities in tennis are excellent.I think that before the beginning of the match you were not sure that you will win 'the king of clay' ,Nadal. But you are the king of tennis and of grass.Do
Don't worry because you played well but it wasn't your day. I think you can try next year and probably you will win. I understand you because it's frustrant to lose again and again at same turnament but don't lose yourself-confidence. Good Lu
I know this must have been a sad loss for you. But, there are many synics in my neck of the woods who say that "things happen in three's". I believe anything can happen and for any reason. However, my reasons for believing in your chance
Although,it's a pity that you werent be able to play your best tennis that day.
But you have to believe that YOU ARE CAPABLE OF BEATING NADAL!!!!
At least you've learnt your lesson, and will be play better next year.
And when you win the

I went to my first Professional Association for SQL Server Summit in 2007. I'd gone to a few local SQL gatherings, talked to other area DBAs, and worked on some pretty cool projects. I really liked what I was doing, and I thought I was doing a decent job. I knew I wasn't a rocket scientist, but I kept the trains running on time.
At the PASS Summit, though, it was as if a giant light bulb clicked on above my head.
I learned that the stuff you really need to know isn't in Books Online.
You wanna learn the stuff that makes your server fly, the stuff that saves your rear when the database is suspect, the stuff that makes you look like a genius amongst your peers, the stuff that makes the developers' eyes get big, the stuff that makes you wave your hands in the air and shout "I'M KING OF THE WORLD, FOR TINYINT VALUES OF WORLD!"
Everybody knows the stuff in Books Online – that stuff ain't enough. You wanna learn the secret tips, the undocumented goodies, the up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A cheat codes. They say there's no /faster switch for SQL Server, and they're wrong. The SQL Server world is chock full of sorta-kinda-barely-official things that don't get enough press, yet make a very real performance difference. The classic example from last year was Jimmy May's session on partition alignment.
PASS is running a contest to find the best thing you've learned at PASS, so in the blogosphere you should be seeing a few folks chime in with their experiences.

The M.S.Ed. specialization in Intercultural Communication (ICC), housed within the Educational Linguistics Division, provides a solid foundation in linguistic and discursive approaches to the study of communication between members of different cultural groups (including linguistic, social, racial, ethnic, national, gender, and other groupings). The core courses examine linguistic and social practices that occur in face-to-face interaction, the cultural expectations and ideologies that inform communicative practices, the cultural dynamics of power and identity, and the practical application of these principles in a variety of work environments.
A degree in intercultural communication can help prepare students for a broad range of careers, such as international student advising, educational/cultural exchange, refugee/resettlement program development and administration, and other social service fields. The program encourages students to take advantage of the many opportunities that the University of Pennsylvania and the city of Philadelphia offer as they work with their advisors to design a course of study that best meets their academic and professional needs. Within GSE, electives in higher education, anthropology and education, TESOL, educational policy and management, counseling, and international education are available. Other schools at Penn offer courses in Anthropology, Communication Studies, Social Work, Linguistics, Policy, and Law, among others.
EDUC 676 Discursive Approaches in Intercultural Communication (Fall)
EDUC 537 Educational Linguistics (Fall)
EDUC 546 Sociolinguistics in Education (Spring)
EDUC 593 Experiential Learning Design for Intercultural Communication (Spring)
One Discourse Analysis Course - choose between:
EDUC 567 Internship: ICC, taken after completion of the ICC Internship (described below)
6 Elective Courses: One Distribution course (outside of the Educational Linguistics & Reading/Writing/Literacy Divisions but within GSE); one course must be in the Educational Linguistics or Reading/Writing/Literacy Divisions; four additional courses (in or outside of the Graduate School of Education)
Examples include:
Students arrange, under the guidance of the Fieldwork & Service-Learning Coordinator, to participate in an internship of at least 160 hours in one of a variety of settings that could include foreign-student advising offices, elementary and secondary schools, community outreach organizations, social-service agencies, educational or cultural exchange programs, or consulting firms. Most full-time students complete the Internship in the Summer or Fall after completing their first year of coursework. An Internship Prospectus must be approved prior to starting the Internship.

Two outstanding goals from Ramires and Cesc Fabregas saw Chelsea record a hard-fought 2-1 pre-season win over Ferencvaros in Hungary.
Ex-West Brom and Fulham star Zoltan Gera had given the hosts the lead, as they opened their new stadium, before Ramires' stunning half volley levelled things up, with Fabregas scoring an equally exceptional goal to give Jose Mourinho's men the win.
With the Premier League opener against Burnley coming into sight, Didier Drogba was handed the start, although his evening lasted less than 20 minutes after sustaining an ankle injury.
Chelsea started brightly, with Andre Schuerrle a particular source of creativity and invention, but it was Ferencvaros who took the lead. Daniel Nagy's cross found Gera unmarked six yards box, and finished into the empty net with a volley.
Jose Mourinho made a number of changes at the break, introducing Diego Costa and Fabregas, and his side found the equaliser after 51 minutes. A Ferencvaros clearance was controlled on the edge of the box by Ramires who then lashed it into the top corner with aplomb.
Gary Cahill hit the post with a header as Chelsea took control, and the turnaround was completed 10 minutes from the end, when Fabregas dribbled past almost all of the Ferencvaros defenders, before finishing past the opposition keeper with a shot on the stretch.
Costa should have scored a third, after being played through on the shoulder of the last defender by Fabregas, but the Spanish international managed to stick his stabbed effort just past the post.
8' SAVE – Good save by Dibusz in the Ferencvaros goal! Schurrrle lays it off to Drogba, who opens up his body from 12 yards out. His shot takes a deflection but the goalkeeper gets down well to make the save.
9' ANOTHER SAVE – Another good save by Dibusz! This time it's Schuerrle on the end of a pass into the box, but his low shot is blocked by the opposition goalkeeper.
18' GOAL – Against the run of play the home side have taken the lead! Gera makes the most of a dangerous cross into the box to volley home from close range.
20' CLOSE – Chelsea come close to an immediate equaliser! I think it might have been Zouma who got the final touch on the effort on goal, but the header flashed across goal and just past the post.
37' SCHUERRLE CHANCE – I can't believe that didn't go in! Everyone in the stadium thought that freekick from Schuerrle was in, but it was one of those that hit the back stanchion and rippled around the back of the net.
51' EQUALISER – What an outstanding goal! Ramires controls a clearance on the edge of the box and lashes a half volley into the top corner with his left foot!
57' OSCAR SHOULD HAVE SCORED – Oscar should have scored! The Brazilian is slipped in on goal from a deep position, but he takes too long to get his shot away, allowing the opposition centre back to recover and make the tackle.
64' WOODWORK – Chelsea hit the post! Fabregas' delivery from a freekick on the left of the pitch causes mayhem, with Cahill getting his head to the ball, but it comes bouncing back off the woodwork.
82' WINNER – What a fantastic goal from Fabregas! The midfielder beats no less than four players on his way into the box, finishing past the keeper on the stretch.
90' COSTA CHANCE - Great chance for Costa! Fabregas spots the striker on the shoulder of the last defender, but Costa puts his effort just past the post when he should have put his foot through his shot.
MAN OF THE MATCH – Andre Schuerrle
After such a successful World Cup, Schuerrle has picked up where he left off, providing Chelsea's biggest attacking threat in the first half. The German drifted all the way across the frontline, giving Ferencvaros problems all over the pitch. He was unfortunate not to find the net.
TALKING POINT – Where does Cesc Fabregas fit into the Chelsea lineup?
The presumption is that the Spanish international will play alongside Nemanja Matic when the Premier League season kicks off next week, but Fabregas has played as something of a number 10 in pre-season. And what's more, he has impressed there. But if Fabregas plays there against Burnley a week on Monday, who plays in the centre of midfield?
Cech 6; Azpilicueta 6, Christensen 6, Zouma 5, Filipe Luis 6; Mikel 5, Ramires 7; Schurrle 7, Willian 6; Torres 5, Drogba 4. Subs: Costa 5, Fabregas 7, Moses 5, Ivanovic 6, Oscar 5, Van Ginkel 4, Ake 5, Hazard 6.

Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Brontë
Analysis: Three Act Plot Analysis
For a three-act plot analysis, put on your screenwriter's hat. Moviemakers know the formula well: at the end of Act One, the main character is drawn in completely to a conflict. During Act Two, she is farthest away from her goals. At the end of Act Three, the story is resolved.
Act I
After a thorough but somewhat lonely education at Lowood Institute, Jane becomes the governess at Thornfield and quickly falls in love with her master, Mr. Edward Rochester.
Act II
Jane and Rochester try to get married, but they're prevented because Rochester is trying to commit bigamy—he already has a wife locked in a room on the third floor at Thornfield. Jane runs away.
Act III
Jane learns that marriage without passion would be immoral when she's faced with a proposal from her clergyman cousin, St. John Rivers. She returns to Rochester, who has conveniently become a widower while she was gone, and they marry.

"The Ricky Gervais Show": Review Revue
Can Ricky Gervais, co-creator of "The Office," awards show host and movie star, make a comedic misstep? Quite possibly, judging by reviews of his new HBO series, "The Ricky Gervais Show."
The series, which premieres tonight, is based on a radio program Gervais did along with writing partner Stephen Merchant and a bloke named Karl Pilkington. The latter man apparently holds bizarre opinions — i.e. he thinks humans don't ever need to invent another thing — and Gervais and Merchant team up to poke fun at him. The entirety of the HBO series consists of those audio recordings being animated, so that we see a cartoon Gervais being sarcastic. Gervais was famously lazy before "The Office" kicked off his ambition and made him a star. Not surprisingly, some critics are calling "The Ricky Gervais Show" an unwelcome return to form. Here's a sampling:
- "The show's only visual, literally, is cartoon animation of Gervais, Merchant and Pilkington talking. That's a bold gamble because if the words aren't grabbing the viewer, there's nothing else to hold the fort until the words get good again. It's almost anti-television, which is logical enough because "The Ricky Gervais Show" started as a podcast, that is, an audio-only feed from the Guardian Web site. Those who don't do "podcast" might find it close to something called "radio." So as with radio, you ignore the lulls and focus on the keepers. [David Hinckley, NY Daily News]"
- "But there are problems from the start: The static nature of three talking heads (even in cartoon form) is dull, and the intermittent non-studio interstitials used to illustrate the discussion fail to provide enough of a change. Watching cartoon characters laugh at one another feels recursively silly, and not in a good way." [Randee Dawn, The Hollywood Reporter]
- "In "The Office" and "Extras," Gervais played the guy who was always being embarrassed, either by his own actions or bad luck. And when he appears on awards shows and adopts a more bullying persona, the joke is that he's picking on people more famous and successful and powerful than he is. The way "The Ricky Gervais Show" looks, Gervais comes across as someone attacking a poor, random fool who can't fight back." [Alan Sepinwall, Newark Star-Ledger]

Designing a kid's room is a balancing act, where comfort, functionality and aesthetics need to be in perfect harmony. If you are designing a room for a child who is not a toddler, you have a real task at hand.
The kid will be vocal about his likes, dislikes and requirements, which may send all your carefully laid-out plans awry. But that is not the only challenge. You also need to design the room keeping in mind that children grow very fast, and outgrow their tastes and preferences even faster.

Kmart is reminding consumers you can still buy things on layaway.
Hyped in national advertisements for the first time in years, layaway lets shoppers pay for everything from tools to televisions bit by bit before taking the items home.
The practice dates back to the Great Depression but has all but disappeared in recent decades.
A Kmart spokesman says it's an option that suddenly "has a great deal of relevance."
For now layaway sales account for only a declining fraction of overall sales, and retail experts don't think that's going to change. A spokeswoman for the National Retail Federation says consumers would rather make payments on things they already have, instead of paying for items while they sit in the store.
Wal-Mart gave up on layaway sales in 2006.

The Mill on the Floss
by George Eliot
The Mill on the Floss Book 1, Chapter 12 Summary
Mr. and Mrs. Glegg at Home
- Mr. and Mrs. Glegg live in the nearby town of St. Ogg's.
- The narrator breaks in to tell us the legend of St. Ogg, who ferried a poor woman across the river Floss one night. Turns out the poor woman was really the Virgin Mary and she blessed St. Ogg for his kindness. After this, Ogg was able to go out safely in his boat, no matter the weather, and he often rescued poor people during storms.
- In the present, St. Ogg's is a quiet little town with farms and mills and little shops and markets. The town doesn't think too much about its lengthy history; church-going is more a matter of habit and custom than anything else.
- We now arrive at the Glegg house, which has lots of windows, all the better for Mrs. Glegg to spy on her neighbors.
- Mr. Glegg is in the wool business and he spends his days thinking about wool, natural history, how he doesn't understand women (especially his wife), and how he can save money.
- Mr. Glegg is really good natured and finds his wife's moods confusing. He is not happy about her latest dispute with Mr. Tulliver.
- At breakfast, Mrs. Glegg attacks Mr. Glegg, who is totally confused. Mrs. Glegg thinks that Mr. Glegg isn't standing up for her and let Mr. Tulliver insult her.
- Mr. Glegg tells Mrs. Glegg to chill out and he insists that she really shouldn't call in Mr. Tulliver's debt and make him pay back his money to her now.
- The two get into an argument and Mrs. Glegg storms upstairs to sulk.
- The Gleggs take some time to cool off and, by that evening, they are getting along once more. They discuss the Tullivers again and Mrs. Glegg agrees to not make Mr. Tulliver pay back her money right now.

Apple will fix iOS 7 random reboot issue with a software update
Firm finally acknowledges the issue
SOFTWARE DESIGNER Apple has promised that it will fix the random reboot problem plaguing iOS 7 users with a future software update.
Referred to by some as the "black screen of death", the problem causes devices running iOS 7 to randomly reboot, interrupting tasks and taking about 30 seconds to a minute until the device is back up and running.
It's unclear what causes the reboots, but some users have said that it only occurs when a device's battery dips below 30 percent. It's also unclear how many users are affected, but we've experienced the problem on an iPhone 5, an iPhone 5S and an iPhone 5C running iOS 7, so it's likely that the problem is affecting a lot of users.
While Apple has yet to reveal the cause of the problem, it has said that a fix is coming. An Apple spokesperson told Mashable, "We have a fix in an upcoming software update for a bug that can occasionally cause a home screen crash."
A fix for the issue is likely to appear in iOS 7.1, which according to speculation will arrive on iPhones and iPads in March.
Apple released iOS 7 in September 2013, and this isn't the only problem that has plagued the mobile operating system since its release.
Some users claimed that the new motion effects in iOS 7 were making them sick, which prompted Apple to release a fix to enable users to tone down the motion effects. The mobile operating system also received much criticism for its flat, minimalistic design, but it's unlikely that Apple will do anything to rectify this. µ

CAPE GIRARDEAU - For about a year, the Sikeston Bulldog football team has pointed to Thursday night's matchup with Cape Central at Houck Stadium.
This one game meant more to the team than any other during the season. especially with it being the Class 4A, District 1 opener.
But for some reason, the Bulldogs played probably their worst game of the year, falling to the Tigers 32-9.
The Bulldogs (5-3) didn't perform well in any aspect as the Tigers scored three touchdowns in a 3:15 span in the second quarter to put the game away.
"They got the momentum early and that made the difference in the ballgame," said Sikeston head coach Charlie Vickery.
"We're not going to get down on the kids -- we just picked a bad time to not play as well as we're capable of. I can't pinpoint why because we've had good practices. I expect these guys to bounce back and I think we will."
Cape Central piled up 302 yards of offense as Sikeston never really found a way to stop the Tigers' misdirection offense, which was a stark contrast to the passing attack they have shown for most of the year.
The Tigers rushed for 250 yards, including more than 100 apiece for Marcus Klund and Monroe Hicks.
"I was surprised that we were able to have as much success up front offensively and defensively," said Cape Central head coach Lawrence Brookins. "I know they missed (Kevin) Keller, but our kids did a pretty good job. We were trying to use more misdirection. There was no way we could try to blow them back off the ball because they're too big and strong. We let them use their own momentum against them with the misdirection and it worked."
The Tigers jumped ahead 7-0 at the 3:32 mark of the first quarter when quarterback Mitch Craft hit Chris Conrad on a 23-yard screen pass for the score.
After taking over at the Bulldog 45, the Tigers scored on Klund's 16-yard run with 9:15 left in the first half. The kick was blocked leaving the score 13-0.
The Bulldogs appeared to have something going on their next possession. A 40-yard pass play to Jacob Priday got things going. But Lavar Morgan, who appeared to be down, fumbled after a 10-yard run.
Andrew Eaton picked up the ball and raced 72 yards untouched for the touchdown to give the Tigers a 19-0 lead with 8:31 left in the half.
It proved to be a backbreaking play that the Bulldogs could never recover.
Sikeston's offense continued to falter as Monroe Hicks intercepted Drew Lawrence's pass two plays into the ensuing drive.
The Tigers marched the 24 yards in three plays, capped by Klund's 3-yard run to make the score 25-0 with 6:00 left in the half.
The rest of the game was a defensive battle, but the damage had already been done by the Tigers in a little more than three minutes.
"(Our) intensity level was much higher tonight," said Cape Central head coach Lawrence Brookins. "I don't know what the magic trick was. All I know is we didn't do anything different in our preparation than what we've ever done. Tonight the kids just executed better. (Execution is) what killed us in prior games. Tonight we didn't have as many breakdowns or penalties."
The Bulldogs had horrible field position the entire night. Their best drive started at the 50 when they recovered an onside kick with 48 seconds left.
Other than that, Sikeston's average drive started at their own 22. The Tigers on the other hand had three scoring drives start in Bulldog territory.
"That happens when your offense doesn't get you out of a hole," said Vickery. "They were pinning us down at the 20 and we're not getting first downs and obviously (Cape is) going to have good field position on that."
After a scoreless third quarter, the Tigers got on the board on an 18-yard run by Hicks with 3:16 left in the game. But the play came after an inadvertent whistle negated a blocked field goal by the Bulldogs.
Instead of the Bulldogs taking the ball over near midfield, Cape retained possession and eventually scored.
"I think we bounced back in the second half," said Vickery. "Basically we shut them out -- the inadvertent whistle gave them the score. We had the field goal blocked but sometimes that happens."
It could've possibly been a more costly blunder than originally thought.
After the Tigers scored, backup quarterback Blake DeWitt engineered a seven-play, 79-yard drive, scoring on a 33-yard TD pass to Andrew Lambert.
Sikeston then recovered the onside kick at the 50, moving the ball down to the 8-yard line before settling for a 25-yard field goal by Lambert with four seconds left.
Had the Tigers never scored their final touchdown, then the Bulldogs would have tried to score one last time instead of a field goal, which probably would've brought the final score under 13 points.
The most points any team can receive in a district matchup is 13, no matter how big the blowout.
But nevertheless, Sikeston will need help from either Farmington or Perryville to have any shot at winning the district title.
Morgan was held to 48 yards rushing on 14 carries. The Bulldogs managed just 62 yards rushing in the game.
DeWitt provided a spark in the final three minutes, throwing for a season-high 114 yards, completing 7-of-12.
Cape Central's Craft completed 3-of-6 for 52 yards.
"This is the best we've played this year," said Brookins. "Now the challenge is, can we do it in the next couple of three weeks? It's our turn for a little bit of good luck and good fortune. We've had our share of bad luck. I'm glad we had our time tonight."

Copyright © HBO
This is a scene that did not show on the web version of the video. It's another that comes straight from the books, as Tyrion and Jon travel north to the Wall. Dinklage's accent here is interesting, but beyond me to place—any U.K. dialect experts? Obviously, he's American, so there will doubtless be ... infelicities, but I'm sure some particular sort of accent is at least intended.
Notably, I spot two Lannister guardsmen in back, which is quite interesting, as in the book Tyrion travels only with two servants (though one, Jyck, is something of a bodyguard).
