Led by junior guard David Crisp, Clover Park took control early and rolled to a 60-45 win over Sequim to claim the 2A district title at the Showare Center this afternoon.
Crisp was 12-for-20 from the field and scored a game-high 26 points – 13 in each half – to help the Warriors overcome several comeback efforts by the Wolves.
Crisp and Anthony White, Jr. scored six points apiece in the first quarter as Clover Park shot out to a 15-8 lead. Their pressure defense helped them continue to build the lead in the second quarter, as Phillip Winston's rebound and coast-to-coast layup with two minutes left in the half put them up 28-14.
The Wolves mounted a couple of comeback efforts in the second half behind senior Jayson Brocklesby, who scored 15 of his team-high 22 points in the period. Brocklesby's driving layup midway through the period cut it to 34-26, but Crisp quickly answered with a three-pointer to gain back momentum for the Warriors. Leading 41-32 heading into the fourth, Clover Park used a quick 8-0 run – including two layups and a steal and dunk by Crisp – to take control for good.
The Warriors tallied 16 steals on the defensive side, as Winston led the way with four steals and Crisp, Travis Parker, Xavier Means and Glenn Jordan-Fairley had three apiece. White added 10 points for the Warriors, and Means had nine points and 10 rebounds.

The book of Revelation is one of the most intriguing books in the Bible. Within that book, chapters 2 and 3 contain seven letters addressed to seven churches, the seven churches of Asia Minor: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.
These are seven letters to seven churches that existed in the Roman province of Asia (present-day Turkey) at the end of the first century. They are unique in many ways, not the least of which the fact that they apparently never existed as separate letters; the original recipients of these epistles only read their contents in the context of the larger work.
This site presents resources and information on these fascinating letters. Though they were composed almost two thousand years ago, the letters to the seven churches of Asia continue to speak to us today. Come join us in rediscovering the timeless message contained in these writings.
We pray that the study of these letters will be a blessing to you. "He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
Because of the Lamb,
Timothy Archer / Steve Ridgell
Timothy Archer and Steve Ridgell have studied these seven letters extensively. Their book Letters From the Lamb was published in 2009 and has become a popular resource on the subject. They are currently booking dates for 2015 for their 2-day seminar "Letters From The Lamb."

However British Swimming performance director Michael Scott admits the extent of the sprint programme and Gibson's role hinges on the amount of funding they receive from UK Sport.
Gibson, who won world 50m breaststroke gold in 2003, has been named as the interim sprint coach to head up the sprint programme at Loughborough University which will begin on December 3.
Having retired in 2010, Gibson has coached in France, taking over of the sprint programme at the CN Marseille Club, and has been part of the Dutch team for international competitions since then.
Among his success stories is Florent Manaudou, who won Olympic 50m freestyle gold at London 2012, however Scott cannot yet say whether Gibson's role will become permanent.
Britain failed to hit their medal target of five to seven at London 2012, winning just three, leading to many to speculate that the sports funding will soon be cut.
There have been a wave of departures also with Loughborough ITC head coach Ben Titley moving to Canada and British Swimming head coach Dennis Pursley relocating back to America.
Scott said: "The plan was always to address our event weaknesses, especially the sprints bearing in mind the number of events across the different strokes and the relays.
"With Ben Titley's departure from Loughborough we need a coach to look after our sprint athletes there in the interim whilst we progress our plan to set up a permanent sprint centre in the UK.
"James Gibson has accepted the job as interim sprint coach and will join us in December. Once we know our budget from UK Sport and have established our future funding priorities from that, the nature and extent of the sprint programme will be determined going forward.
"As a swimmer, Gibson's background is first class and although he is a young coach, his experience in working with the world renowned sprint programme in Marseille and his role with the Dutch swimming team over the last two years have provided him with great skills to help British Swimming lift its performances in the sprint events."

Hello group! Just wondering if any experts could help me out with an
exam I've got coming up in Imperial, UK! I'm guessing this
is where people with this sort of knowledge are gathered. Anything
thing will help on any parts of the question!
A web browsing session visits the following URLs in order:
Briefly explain your answer to each of the following:
i) How many DNS lookup operations will the browser need to perform in
the session?
I'm guessing 2, but I don't really know why….
ii) If the browser was situated in the java.sun.com domain, and made a
request for an iterative lookup of address from its local DNS server,
what are the domains that the DNS server contacts for the lookup of
the first URL in the list above? (It must be assumed that each level
in the DNS hierarchy is in a different zone, and that all servers have
no cached information.)
This is what I got, think its right
iii) How many server processes will be contacted by the browser during
the session?
Any help would be good! Is it just a total of the above? 8?
iv) For the first and last URL, how is the server socket constructed?
Sockets are
: , but not given ip addresses here nor a
port for the first? 80 for http…
v) If the session was extended to send an email to
firstname.lastname@example.com, is a new DNS request required?
I'm thinking not because it's already been cached…
vi) DNS does not provide user defined record types, but you are
required to add details of the owner and telephone number of each
machine in doc.ic.ac.uk domain, which can be retrieved by outside
clients using DNS. Can you suggest a method to do this?
I'm thinking its something to do with allocating numbers of
ports above the WKS range for each user, or I maybe on totally the
wrong track!
vii) Explain if it would be possible or not to use a firewall to block
access to http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/c212_exam.ps but allow access to all
the URLs listed in the web browsing session.
Don't have a clue about this one, any pointers?
Thanks a lot for any comments you could put down. Anything would be
useful as my exams are very soon!!!
Thanks again,

Anchorage police say four men face robbery charges in a busy but short-lived string of Midtown and South Anchorage armed robberies early Saturday morning.
According to a statement from APD spokesperson Jennifer Castro, the suspects -- Miracle Tulimasealii, 23; Tusa Tanuvasa, 18; Siaosi Sila, 20; and Lonnie Reed Jr., 22 -- are each charged with two counts of first-degree robbery.
Police first became involved in the case at 1:15 a.m. Saturday, when they responded to the Hampton Inn at 4301 Credit Union Dr., near the intersection of Tudor Road and C Street.
"It was reported that three Pacific Islander males had entered the lobby; one armed with a shotgun and the two others with handguns," Castro wrote. "The males were given money from the front counter and left the hotel in a sedan driven by a fourth Pacific Islander male."
APD was informed of the second robbery, at the Chevron station at 2200 W. Dimond Boulevard, just after 2 a.m.
"It was reported that three Pacific Islander males entered the Chevron, forcing an employee to the floor," Castro wrote. "One of the males (later identified as Tulimasealii) armed with a shotgun, fired multiple rounds at an ATM inside the store in an attempt to access it but was unsuccessful."
Castro says that about half an hour later, police were investigating another matter at the Motel 6 at 5000 A St. and encountered the four men, all of whom were arrested.
"(The incident) was unrelated, and conveniently we had identified that the suspects were at the hotel," Castro said.
According to Castro, nobody was injured in Saturday's events despite the weapon discharges.
"There were no physical injuries, but of course when you experience something like that it's pretty traumatic," Castro said.
One of the arrested men, Siaosi Sila, was earlier taken into custody by APD on May 16, after leading officers seeking to arrest him on a warrant for failing to comply with probation conditions onto thin ice at Cheney Lake. Water rescue units had been sent to the scene before Sila safely surrendered to officers; court records show that he subsequently pleaded guilty to one count of resisting arrest in the incident.
This is a developing story. Please check KTUU.com and the Channel 2 newscasts for updates.

I flicked on the telly box to BBC News this morning and…
Well they had guests. They had a posh young man from Wiltshire who had had a shotgun certificate since he was 11 and some dismal old trout from wherever wearing what looked like the torso of the Honey Monster in waistcoat fashion. She apparently founded a charidee or some form of theatrical gayness called "Mothers Against Guns" – at this point I wished I'd kept the puke bag from THY. So the posh fella explains that he needed his shotgun certificate – note not a license – as a minor all this enabled him to do was shoot clay pigeons under the supervision of an adult with a full license. In order to get even this he had been interviewed at length by a police firearms officer and his house had been inspected to ensure the gun or guns would be secure. This lad was a competition clay pigeon shooter. He was not the sort to walk into an HSBC and demand cash with menaces (from my experience of HSBC they are more likely to do that to the customer which is essentially why I don't bank with them no more). But still this woman harrumphed and moaned during this fella's explanation of the hoops he and his parents had to jump through so he could pursue a hobby he was clearly good at and which harmed nothing other than clay pigeons. Shooting clays is quite simply about as innocuous a sport as you can imagine but by this woman's twisted logic because it involved a gun it had to be definitively evil.
I couldn't watch much more but I think I saw enough. Her obvious discomfort was enough. I assume she founded this charidee because she had a child (probably a son) shot to death. I would bet my wife's breasts that said gun was not legally owned. I would bet my own kidneys that tragic though her loss may have been (it may not have been exactly tragic – when I lived in Manchester a woman came on the local telly holding a candlelight vigil against guns in much the same way – her son had been shot dead in a a pub in South East Manchester – but you know how? He was a teenager and took a contract to off a drug dealer who managed to be swifter on the draw so my nano-scale violin plays the lament). It in no way involved folks in Wiltshire shooting inanimate objects for fun. Or indeed any of the totally justifiable reasons why one might want to own a gun. My brother has taken up archery. He does it with a mate of ours who is actually a copper. My Bro got into it after a trip to Vegas where he shot an AK-47 and loved it. Obviously back in England this was not an option so he took-up the bow. Now as our Frogulent pals discovered at Crecy and Agincourt a bow is also an extremely lethal weapon. But then so is everything if used right. Don't get me wrong here. I am not defending the posh fella from Wiltshire having a shotgun purely because his personal use is clay pigeon shooting. Oh, no. I am perfectly happy with guns being used to cause lethal harm in the right circumstances. I only mention this chap because he was on TV and because his gun use was so impossible to "unjustify" that the only way to claim it was unjustifiable was to argue that guns in and of themselves are immoral and I will go to a pool party courtesy of Michael Barrymore before I will accept that there is any moral issue with shooting clay pigeons or gun ownership in general or indeed the general idea that inanimate objects can be discussed in moral terms at all. Obviously there are moral issues related to how guns are used but… Well do I need to draw a diagram? Lets not talk of guns, let's talk of vans. When I last moved house my brother hired a van (it wasn't a Transit but something of that ilk). This enabled a sofa (and much else) to be moved from Gateshead to Cheshire. You got a problem with that? Thought not. Ah, but what about vans in the service of evil? If you believe the media then loads, van-loads, of girls are being trafficked into my country as sex-slaves or something. Possibly dusting Lord Mandelson's wainscotting – God knows! But when I was 17 I had an (un)fortunate encounter with a Transit – I use the brackets because whilst I was extremely unlucky to be hit given that I was hit I was extremely lucky to gt off with cuts and bruises – it was matter of cms and milliseconds between feeling pretty rough for a week and feeling nothing ever again. It was doing 60 through the fog and came off worse than I did (stern stuff us Geordies). My arm did though ache for weeks after. That was my left arm and my elbow took the wing-mirror off, "ouch!". I also apparently left a Nick-shaped dent in the side of it in classic "spread-eagle" fashion. So let's ban vans. Lets. Except this incident saw an NHS ambulance (which is essentially a van with flashing lights) pick me up and take me to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital A&E where the doctors and nurses glued (literally) me back together and sent me home. I had rather long hair back then so you should have seen the bottom of the shower the morning after – it looked like a field dressing station at Stalingrad. So you see for every problem a van creates, a van solves.
But if you think about it… The real problem here was the road and me being a bit late already and hurrying and it being very foggy. The problem was not the van. It was how straight that newly built bypass was which at the best of times made judgement of distance tricky and with a heavy fog up from the Tyne Valley impossible for both me and the driver. The devil was as ever in the details. As with shotguns. The BBC flagged-up the number of 11 year olds with shotgun certificates. This was apparently a bad thing. The real question here of course is how many pre-teen farmer's sons and daughters actually murder people with them and this was not mentioned. Let's just ban guns entirely (except for the cops obviously) because banning decent law-abiding citizens from owning lethal weapons will reduce the murder rate of course. What profound silliness!
The simple truth is that the sort of person who wants a legally owned weapon is not the problem. The criminal who doesn't (by definition) give a monkey's about the law as to owning a gun or pretty much anything else is the problem. Further restricting the generally law-abiding from legal gun ownership essentially prevents people from doing what they wouldn't anyway.
I know it's trite but there is truth in the NRA slogan, "Guns don't kill people, people do". And also their other slogan, "When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns" rings similarly true. But then is that not the bansturbatory cycle? More gun regulation will inevitably lead to more shootings by criminals which will be spun as justification for even more regulation which completely misses the point that obviously the sort of people who cause problems with guns are also criminals who pretty much by definition don't give a toss about the law anyway.
The same with vans I guess.
Or indeed anything.
I have never even touched a "live" firearm, never really had the chance. Does that make me ultra-moral by that lady's obscure calculus? It probably does by her deranged reckoning because guns have to be intrinsically evil in her world. That is a failure of imagination. I could, but probably will not, do quite appalling things to you with a stick. Or a rock, or indeed anything the cave-personage Ugg could bring to hand. Essentially the intent is always the issue. Not the article. To believe so is to be mad. My wife has just driven off to go to the supermarket and meet her parent's new dog. That is a ton of steel which could easily kill a small child. That ought to be banned. As should the dog which could also kill a small child. The fact my wife is a very safe driver and her parents are very good dog owners is not something that occurs to the bansturbators. Indeed if my brother had an AK-47 would I be scared? No. I have known him since the mid-70s (as long as anyone) and if he did have such a shooter I'd be like, "Can I have a go?". Just for the hell of it. Not to kill anyone because quite frankly I simply don't desire to kill anyone. Oh, George Monbiot is annoying but do I really want to empty a clip of 7.62 into his bladder? Probably not. Though I would insist on using things from my tool-box on his pal Jonathan. But then again that is the point. My tool box with which I fix computers and stuff contains vastly more vile (when connected to this brain that has read some awful stuff) possibilities than a mere shooting which is sort of clean in a way. Well cleaner than removing a rectum with a claw hammer.
Or to put it another way… Why should a 37 year old man (that's me) not be allowed to carry despite in all those years never being even cautioned by the rozzers and that by some alchemical process improves public safety? Why? I'll tell you why. Because the "do-gooders" think, they have it in their DNA, that if something is against the law their work is done because obviously making something against the law solves the problem by which I mean as far as they are concerned and they can then wash their hands of it. They think that if guns are illegal shootings will also be and essentially that by making guns against the law they feel their work is indeed done. Because making a bad thing against the law works right? Well, yeah, except it doesn't with respect to criminals does it? It doesn't because… Do I need to explain again?
And they clearly never hung in the gaffs I have. And I have lived in some rum cribs in my time. Meanwood Road in Leeds springs to mind.

MUMBAI: JM Financial Mutual Fund on Monday announced the launch of JM Contra Fund. The primary investment objective of the scheme is to provide capital appreciation through a contrarian style of investing. This refers to buying fundamentally sound stocks that have been overlooked by the market (for reasons of short term trend) and wait for the market to give these stocks their real value in due course of time.
Speaking at the launch, Nimesh Kampani, chairman of JM Financial said, "JM Contra Fund aims to have a 'first mover' advantage by investing in 'out of favour' stocks and sectors. The fund would incubate them for a while till they find favour with the rest of the market, thus increasing out performance prospects."

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Tiger Woods smoked the field but couldn't beat himself in the TV ratings.
In the first network golf coverage of the year, CBS got a 4.6 overnight rating from Sunday's final round at Torrey Pines, where Woods led by as many as 11 shots before winning by eight for his fourth consecutive Buick Invitational title.
It's golf's highest rating since the PGA Championship last August, but still down 18 percent from the Buick Invitational a year ago. That's when Woods held off Charles Howell III over the final holes to win by two. The final round last year drew a 5.6 overnight rating.
Overnight ratings measure the 55 largest TV markets in the United States. The rating is the percentage watching a program among homes with televisions.
National ratings are expected later in the week.

FBI-CJIS Security Policy Compliance Officer
Mark Rivera, Customer Retention Manager and CJIS Security Compliance Officer with Vigilant Solutions, served for sixteen years with the Maryland State Police, retiring at the rank of First Sergeant with thirteen of those years at the supervisory and command level. He holds a Master of Science Degree in Management from The Johns Hopkins University and Secret clearance through the FBI, Baltimore.
In today's world there are supervisors who act to protect themselves from the fear of failing, the fear of confrontation, and the fear of dealing with their own mediocrity.
Supervisors often hear that they are to lead by example, but what does that really mean? You are the first person who has to obey in order to comply with the very things you demand of others.
Let's take a look at each paragraph individually and see how the Marine Corps' planning format might be used in planning a law enforcement operation or project.
You're kidding yourself if you think that you will ever have a fully trained and motivated command. You are a trainer, a coach, and if you care about the future, a mentor. In reality, each has its own role, specific purpose, and desired outcome.
A person with a bad attitude can be disruptive to the workplace, it's not something you want in your unit but before you face the issue head on, make sure you've documented their bad tendencies.
You often hear the word "leadership" used, but it has become so cliché that the real meaning has been all but lost. Many have pushed away the management side of the house and have ignored the fact that being an effective manager is a big part of a leader's job.
Every profession espouses the virtues of leadership. But what about followers, which are the flip side of the equation? You can't have good leadership without good followership.
You are a chief or sheriff. Get real and train with your officers. You should be one of the first enrolled in your defensive tactics and subject control training classes. Your attendance and participation will speak to all, and what it will say is this stuff is real and it's important.
Here is the conundrum: When bad things happen it appears Officer Nobody has failed again to do what needs to be done, and when things turn out good, Dep. Somebody is taking all the credit. Something needs to be done.
There is an old saying that says in order to receive, you must first give. Giving back to the community is critical if you want its help. The key to getting the community to help you revolves around your getting involved with the community.
