Christina went from Nationals to a great SP at 4CC.
Xtina will continue to play second fiddle to flavors of the year.
Agnes will continue to hate her poor mom by skating terribly. It's a rebellion, I think. This girl is obviously a goth, wants to shop at hot topic, paints her nails black, pierces her nose and tongue, and her mom dared to turn her into an ice princess? Her mom didn't care to know her, so she's repaying with ****** performances one after another.
I believe Gao will go to the Olympics. She has an international look and USFS would be stupid not to send her, assuming we get 3 spots back which is a huge assumption. I think Zawadzki is done. She never truly made the transition from junior to senior. She stayed with coach Z too long and her artistic growth was forever stunted. She is a US skater through and through and I don't see here ever making the podium at a senior international championship. Besides, her packaging is all wrong and the garish makeup and costuming will never appeal to Olympic viewers.
Agnes has rare moments of elegance in her skating. Just a flash here and there-but something to build on. I'm thrilled she left Tom Z, but she really needs to come down off the mountain and get to a coaching center on one of the coasts, or even Detroit. I really love her physical strength, but she needs to develop her mental approach, find choreography that works for her, and work on her interpretation.
She has improved quite a bit this season, but she could be stellar. She also seems to have a fun personality, and I wish more of that came through into her skating.
I am a fan and would love to see her achieve.
Does anyone know if Christina is on scholarship at Harvard?
Christina Gao @christina_gao
An amazing end to an incredible season. Thanks for all the support! I've had a great week in Japan and I'm excited for next season! #4CC2013
6:29 PM - 10 Feb 13
I look forward to cheering for her next season.
Well I hate to be a naysayer but I don't think either of them has a chance of making the Olympic team and , if by some miracle one of them does - there is't a top 10 finish for either of them. I can admire Christina's dedication and her skating but for me she has absolutely no charisma. There is nothing in her skating that makes me want to go back and watch the program again. The same with Agnes. I think they are both talented skaters but nothing special about either one of them. Having said that, and it IS just my opinion, I wish them luck.
Oh the Olympic dream...for someone it is glory and for most agony. Several of these girls will be devastated. It could be more if the unthinkable happens and there are only two spots instead of three.
One thing I will say about Zawadzki, I have a feeling, and this might just be because I like her skating, that she would actually be well-received/score well at international events if she skated well at them. The thing is, she's so prone to mistakes, especially in the FS, that we don't really have a good idea of how the international judges would score a clean Zawadzki FS. My guess is pretty well. However, yes, she certainly has some consistency issues to work out but luckily there is still time.
I will say though how it's curious how both Zawadzki and now Gold seem to struggle with the pressure/hype/nerves at senior international competitions, and seeing how Gao has become quite consistent now that she's through with her growing pains, it really does make me wonder if jumping straight to the GP after winning the junior title hurt both Gold and Zawadzki in terms of becoming good competitors. Gracie had one JGP, fair enough, but Agnes had none. Both girls did not make it to Nationals the year before they won the junior title at Nationals. Both girls competed as Novices the season before that. Both girls tore up domestic competitions leading up to their Junior Nationals wins. Both girls got sent to JW after winning the junior title at Nats and both girls won silver at JW then chose to jump up to the GP the following season and managed to get two GP assignments. In 2 years they went from 1st year juniors who didn't make it to US Nationals to competing at 2 senior GP events and being touted as the next star of figure skating capable of becoming National champion in their senior debuts.
Then there is Gao. She competed on the JGP after placing 3rd at Junior Nats. She did quite well on the JGP that season and even won bronze at the final, had a solid debut as a senior at Nationals finishing 5th in a tough field, was sent to JW and placed 8th - and that wasn't a great performance to her. Given her JGP success and placement at senior Nationals, it would have been sensible to move up to the GP, but she and her coaches wisely decided to stay on the junior circuit another season. That season Christina grew a lot but also developed a consistent 3f-3t and showed she was capable of putting up big scores internationally, even at junior competitions. She gained valuable experience, winning 2 silvers at her JGPs and getting to compete at the JGPF again. Then she was 5th at Nationals again but admitted she gave winning the pewter away due to a couple mistakes in her FS. Then she was 4th at JW in a very deep field, again due to a difficult FS after being in medal position after the SP. It wasn't until the following season that she finally made the jump up to the GP, she was injured that whole summer but was able to put out a pretty decent performance at CoC considering, placing 5th and beating Murakami. Then she had the meltdown at COR, but no one was really hyping her, she put it behind her, skated much better at Nats, was 5th again but that was actually a pretty good result for her given her injury and earlier results, then went to JW and placed 7th but otherwise skated ok. Her good results this season are really not that surprising given her ability, work ethic, and VALUABLE EXPERIENCE GAINED FROM HAVING COMPETED IN A CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS WITHOUT A BUNCH OF HYPE.
Say what you will about the JGP, but it's still valuable international experience and I think Christina's two full seasons on that circuit really helped her as a competitor. She had ups and downs and learned from them and is now a better competitor because of it. Part of me thinks if Agnes and Gracie had done a full season on the JGP before making the leap up to seniors, nationally and internationally at the same time, they may be more steady at this point. I know they were good enough to compete on the GP but still, they could have competed on the JGP and then senior at Nationals, if they delivered at Nats, they'd still be considered for a good placement. Mirai had competed on the JGP the year she won Nationals in her senior debut. Josh Farris has way more international experience than Gracie and also won silver at JW (finishing half a point behind the winner as opposed to 16) and competed on the JGP this season, and the judges at Nationals did take him seriously as evidenced by his winning pewter. Christina Gao was talked about as being in the mix for the senior Worlds team in 2010-2011 after competing on the JGP that fall and putting up impressive scores and delivering 3f-3t and finished 5th at Nationals even before that season when she was just a little girl making her senior debut. Agnes and Gracie were both really consistent the season leading up to their Junior National titles, so it really does make me wonder..

Epigenomics of Alzheimer's disease.
|Publication Type
|Journal Article
|Bennett, DA, Yu L., Yang J., Srivastava GP, Aubin C., and De Jager PL
|Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a large and growing public health problem. It is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid β peptides and abnormally phosphorylated tau proteins that are associated with cognitive decline and dementia. Much has been learned about the genomics of AD from linkage analyses and, more recently, genome-wide association studies. Several but not all aspects of the genomic landscape are involved in amyloid β metabolism. The moderate concordance of disease among twins suggests other factors, potentially epigenomic factors, are related to AD. We are at the earliest stages of examining the relation of the epigenome to the clinical and pathologic phenotypes that characterize AD. Our literature review suggests that there is some evidence of age-related changes in human brain methylation. Unfortunately, studies of AD have been relatively small with limited coverage of methylation sites and microRNA, let alone other epigenomic marks. We are in the midst of 2 large studies of human brains including coverage of more than 420,000 autosomal cytosine-guanine dinucleotides with the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation 450K BeadArray, and histone acetylation with chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing. We present descriptive data to help inform other researchers what to expect from these approaches to better design and power their studies. We then discuss future directions to inform on the epigenomic architecture of AD.

5 Reasons 2013 Was Actually 1996 All Over Again
#2. We Remembered Dennis Rodman Does Things
This year, Dennis Rodman -- a man known for behavior calculated to elicit opinions -- acted unconventional so that people would point cameras at him and say his name in sentences. Suspiciously, in the year 1996, people also acknowledged Rodman's actions and words.
#1. Hi and Lois Is Still Being Published
What if when you die you realize that your entire life with all of its joy and suffering and 70,000 bowel movements was but a one-second concussion because you're actually an unfathomable god-beast locked in a slobberknocker bar brawl with another god-beast, but instead of feeling relieved that you aren't roasting in Hell or a disembodied consciousness doomed to swirl around the void for eternity, you're enraged because you're drunk and 100-light-years tall and annoyed that a phosphene jam-packed with dumb shit like your 7th birthday and your sister's voice and the way tears welled in the corner of your eyes when that special person said "I love you" for the first time distracted you, so you force yourself to forget and wind up for a haymaker that could eradicate a nebula?
Anyway, Hi and Lois is still being published, just as it was in 1996.
Kings Feature Syndicate
Further proof: Coffee existed in 1996.
So there you have it. When the ball drops at 11:59:50 on Dec. 31, the year 1996 will jump out of a laundry hamper wearing the bleached skull of 2013 like some kabuki death mime and yell, "IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!" And then, 10 seconds later, 1993 will skulk on by wearing 2014's skin as a petticoat, snap a selfie, and cackle, "I'M MR. VAIN!" They'll proceed to rage until dawn, celebrating their duplicity by filching Angostura bitters or isopropyl alcohol or whatever's left in the cupboard. Happy New and/or Old Year's, gang.

"It's been mutually resolved the old-fashioned way ... with a simple conversation," the fan's lawyer told TMZ.
McGraw, 47, was videotaped pushing the fan away during a sold-out show in July.
"At the end of the night during an encore, Tim was singing out in the audience and someone firmly grabbed onto his leg and wouldn't let go as he was moving through the crowd," his rep told PEOPLE Country at the time. "He instinctively swatted to try and keep them from ripping his jeans (which they succeeded at doing!), and so he could get to more fans who were trying to slap hands with him before the end of the show."
In an interview later, the "Highway Don't Care" singer called the incident "an unfortunate situation."
"It is one of those things that happen, nobody feels good about it, but there's nothing that could be done about it," he said. "You are in that position, you are out there, you are vulnerable, things happen and sometimes you react."
According to TMZ, the fan's attorney wouldn't say whether any money was involved in the settlement.

- Great berry cream flavor
While coffee and soft drinks might wake you up, they don't support your mental focus. But, intenseFX Quick Release Energy Tabs provide much needed fuel and promote mental focus without the crash later. By combining caffeine, amino acids and B-vitamins to provide long lasting physical and mental energy, intenseFX delivers quick dissolving convenience that other energy shots can't provide.
Caffeine 75 mg
Caffeine promotes focus and alertness, and stimulates the central nervous system. It also helps support the breakdown sugars and fats in the body, promoting a mild thermogenic effect.
Thiamin (Vitamin B1) 1.5 mg
Thiamin supports a healthy nervous system, and promotes the production of the neurotransmitters acetylcholine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which both regulate neural excitability. Thiamin supports normal carbohydrate metabolism and nerve function. It increases energy and helps promote mental clarity.
Riboflavin 5-Phosphate (Vitamin B2) 1.7 mg
Vitamin B2 promotes the conversion of food into energy. Vitamin B2 supports the breakdown of fats, while functioning as a cofactor or helper in activating B6 and folic acid. Vitamin B2 is water-soluble and cannot be stored by the body except in insignificant amounts; thus, it must be replenished daily.
Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin B6) 3 mg
Vitamin B6 has been recommended as a nutrient to enhance mental function, as it supports the normal synthesis of neurotransmitters in brain and peripheral nerve cells. Some athletic supplements include vitamin B6 because it promotes the conversion of glycogen to glucose for energy in muscle tissue. Vitamin B6 is a co-factor that promotes protein and amino acid metabolism and helps maintain proper fluid balance. It also assists in the maintenance of healthy red and white blood cells. Vitamin B6 should be taken as a part of a complex of other B-vitamins for best results.
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) 1 mg
Vitamin B12 helps maintain optimum energy levels, as it plays a vital role in the Krebs energy cycle. It also promotes concentration. It is essential that vegetarians consume a vitamin B12 supplement to maintain optimal health. Vitamin B12, when ingested, is stored in the liver and other tissues for later use. The synthetic form of vitamin B12, cyanocobalamin, is not derived from either plants or animals and is integral in the maintenance of normal functioning body cells, especially those of the nervous system (protecting the sheaths of nerve cells), bone marrow and intestinal tract. These tissues are the first to exhibit signs of vitamin B12 depletion.
Taurine 30 mg
Taurine is important in the hydration of the body and gives an energy boost by promoting the cells' nutrient uptake, as well as enhancing physical reaction time. Further, it promotes mental alertness and supports the ability to concentrate. It is classified as an essential amino acid, and supports micelle formation and fat absorption. It is found in high amounts in the brain, retina, myocardium, skeletal and smooth muscle, platelets and neutrophils. It is plentiful in the fluids of muscle, lungs and nerve tissue. Dietary taurine mainly comes from animal food sources. Taurine is also present in plant food sources like seaweed.
Arginine 20 mg
L-arginine supplements may prove to be a good way to maintain healthy circulation to the heart and blood vessels, while promoting the delivery of oxygen and other important nutrients to the brain. Arginine is an amino acid found in many foods such as dairy products, meat, poultry, fish, nuts and chocolate. It supports several important processes in the body.

Students, young professionals and anyone looking for extra energy.*
What are the ingredients that make intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets work?
All of the ingredients in intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets are important, and they work together to deliver an energy surge much stronger than any one of the ingredients does on its own. Caffeine combines with amino acids and vitamins that are crucial in promoting the body's own energy production, which helps to deliver energy much faster and reduces the possibility of "crashing" afterward.*
How quickly do intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets take effect?
Results will vary, depending on the individual, but most users report increased energy and alertness within 10-15 minutes of using intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets.*
How long do the effects of intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets last?
intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets are designed to provide sustained energy, working primarily by promoting the body's own energy systems. The effects typically last for several hours, with a minimum of any "crash" effect afterward.*
Will intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets make me feel nervous or jittery?
If you are used to drinking coffee, tea or other caffeinated drinks, then you should not feel jittery. If you are sensitive to caffeine, you should probably start this product with a half serving (half a tab) initially and see how you feel.
Are there any contraindications or warnings I should be aware of when taking intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets?
If you are currently taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), you should not take this product.

WAILUKU - A Makawao man was taken into custody Wednesday to complete a six-month jail term for breaking into his ex-girlfriend's house and choking her last year.
Aaron Townsend, 25, also was placed on five years' probation.
He had pleaded no contest to second-degree unauthorized entry into a dwelling and third-degree assault.
Police were called to the woman's residence in Pukalani on Oct. 2 after Townsend first tried to kick through the door of the house, according to police. When he wasn't able to get in, he removed a screen and climbed into the home through a window. Inside, he began choking his ex-girlfriend, police said.
When officers arrived at the residence, Townsend ran through yards before he was found in a storage shed, police reported.
Deputy Prosecutor Justine Hura said Townsend assaulted someone "who has the right to tell the defendant she doesn't want to be involved with him."
His attorney, Cary Virtue, said that Townsend was sorry. His relationship with the woman is now over, Virtue said.
"He made mistakes," he said.
Hura said that rather than focusing on his actions, Townsend seemed to be more concerned about being able to continue using marijuana through his state medical marijuana card.
He obtained the card based on being diagnosed with chronic foot pain, Hura said, yet that didn't stop him from trying to kick through his ex-girlfriend's house that night.
"He has no problem jumping through a window. He has no problem running through various people's yards," Hura said.
In court Wednesday, Townsend denied kicking the door.
"You shouldn't have been in the house at all," 2nd Circuit Judge Rhonda Loo told Townsend.
He was ordered not to consume alcohol or illegal drugs and to complete a domestic violence intervention program. Townsend was ordered to have no contact with the victim.

Take away doubleheaders and games against Akron, and this season would be rolling along smoothly for the Curve at the midway point.
That's just wishful thinking, however, for a club that's in last place in the Western Division and entered play Saturday with the third-worst record in the Eastern League at 33-38.
The key for any team is to minimize the damage, which generally refers to pitchers getting out of jams and not letting a bad inning turn into a terrible one.
The difference between this being a good season versus the disappointment that it's become is basically the Curve's inability to minimize the damage in two key areas:
* They are 2-10 in doubleheaders. Nothing buries a team in the standings like losing twice in one day, and Altoona has done that four times in six doubleheaders.
* They are 1-8 against Akron. Many of the games have been close against the EL's best team -- the Aeros are 46-27 -- but there are no points for close losses in baseball.
Fact Box
Best of the bunch
The Curve's midseason individual distinctions:
Best all-around: Brock Holt
Best hitter: Brock Holt
Best starting pitcher: Brandon Cumpton
Best reliever: Duke Welker
Biggest surprise: Brandon Cumpton
Biggest disappointment: Robbie Grossman
Best comeback: Tony Sanchez
Unsung hero: Quincy Latimore
MVP: Brock Holt
Had the Curve split all their doubleheaders, they would be 37-34 and in second place in the division.
Had they gone merely 4-5 against Akron, they would be 36-35 and a half game out of second.
The bad news is that the Curve have underachieved in many areas and have let opportunities -- and victories -- slip away because of their inconsistent play.
The good news, though, is that the team is only 3 1/2 games out of a playoff spot in a mediocre, jumbled division, plus the Curve have proven they can compete with and beat every team in the league except Akron (see records vs. EL opponents to the right).
So while the first half has been disappointing, there still could be plenty to play for during the next 2 1/2 months if the club finds some consistency and gets on one or two hot streaks.
Still, to be in last place at this point in the season and languishing near the bottom of so many overall statistics, the club simply doesn't deserve a good grade. D+
SUBHD: Offense
The Curve are last in the EL in homers (31) and steals (39), meaning they don't have much power or speed. That's a bad combination, but one that can be overcome if the lineup has a lot of good hitters. Well, that's not the case, either, as they rank 10th out of 12 teams in batting average (.252). All those factors have contributed to the club scoring just 280 runs, which also ranks 10th in the EL.
The top of the lineup was expected to be productive, and Brock Holt has done his part as he ranks sixth in the league in hitting at .314. But leadoff man Robbie Grossman (.227, 5 HRs, 21 RBIs) and No. 3 hitter Jarek Cunningham (.226, 2 HRs, 21 RBIs) haven't proven they can hit Double-A pitching consistently enough.
Grossman's on-base percentage is nearly 100 points higher than his average (.320), which is a good sign, but it's going to be tough for the offense to succeed with him hitting in the .220s. He also didn't help matters when he was suspended a week for what the Pirates would only call an "internal issue." Cunningham hit 15 homers in only 80 games last season for high-A Bradenton, and while he missed a month with a wrist injury, he just hasn't driven the ball as expected (.348 slugging percentage).
Matt Curry (.286, 2 HRs, 27 RBIs) is a quality hitter, but he will have to hit the ball out of the park much more if he's going to reach his potential and make it to the majors. It's been good to see Quincy Latimore raise his average up to .249 after a miserable start, and he's on pace to lead the team in homers and RBIs for a second straight year (8 HRs, 33 RBIs).
Holt deserves a promotion to Triple-A, and if he gets one, it would leave a big void in the offense. Everyone needs to pick up their play in the second half if the club is going to make a run at a playoff spot. Grade: D-
SUBHD: Starting pitching
The starters have kept the team in a lot of games despite the weak offense and terrible defensive play early. Still, the Curve are just ninth in the league in overall team ERA (3.90), and there are only two starters with an ERA under 4.00.
Brandon Cumpton (7-6, 3.43) looks like a future major leaguer and should continue to get even better as the season goes on. Tim Alderson (3-3, 3.38) was outstanding as a reliever early on and has a 3.74 ERA since moving into the rotation.
Nathan Baker (3-6, 5.34) has been a disappointment and has gone into the bullpen, and Phil Irwin (0-4, 4.35) also has failed to reach expectations after missing the first two months with a shoulder injury.
The rotation got a huge boost with the addition of prized prospect Gerrit Cole, who should be in line for a lot of success the rest of the season. And if fellow prized prospect Jameson Taillon can overcome his recent struggles at high-A Bradenton, he too could be with the Curve at some point.
The rotation has pitched better, for the most part, than its overall numbers and has had to carry the load most nights, so we'll give it a little benefit of the doubt. Grade: B
SUBHD: Bullpen
The Curve are 26-1 when leading after the seventh inning and 28-0 when leading after the eighth, so there hasn't been a repeat of last season's costly blown saves.
Duke Welker (2-1, 2.31, five saves) was the best major league prospect on the team before his promotion to Triple-A. Before Cole joined the team, that distinction may have shifted to Vic Black, who's been terrific (1-1, 1.50, three saves, 40 strikeouts in 30 IP). Mike Colla struggled as a starter (0-4, 5.15 ERA) but has been exceptional in 11 relief appearances (2-1, 0.49 ERA).
There may not be many major league prospects in the bullpen, but the relievers usually find a way to protect leads. That means they deserve a higher grade than their collective ERAs probably would indicate: Grade: B-
SUBHD: Defense
The defense was a disaster the first six weeks or so but has made some strides, and it's no coincidence that when the club plays error-free baseball it has a chance to win most games. Catcher Tony Sanchez made big strides after a slow start, which was good to see and helped earn him a promotion to Triple-A.
However, the Curve are 10th in the league with 69 errors, and that's just not going to cut it. Grade: D-
SUBHD: Coaching staff
This is the exact same position manager P.J. Forbes found himself in last season, when the Curve were four games below .500 at 34-38. That team, though, was in the midst of having the season collapse as it lost nine in a row and 12 out of 13.
Forbes is a good baseball man and has two very good coaches around him in pitching coach Jeff Johnson and hitting coach Ryan Long. Minor league coaches are only as good as their personnel, though, and are the toughest to grade.
For instance, Long was the hitting coach on the fantastic 2010 EL championship team that finished third in the EL in hitting (.268) and was never out of a game. Has he forgotten how to teach hitting in two years, or are the hitters on this team just not as good as the ones in 2010? Clearly the answer is the latter.
Johnson deserves the highest grade of any of the three because the pitching staff has carried the team. Long has worked tirelessly with the hitters, but unfortunately, the results just haven't been there. Forbes is in charge of the club, and he's passionate about seeing his players perform well and improve every day.
There were high hopes for the club entering the season, and no one would say they're happy with having the third-worst record in the league. But because the team does have that record and hasn't shown much consistency, the coaches deserve at least some of the blame. Grade: C
SUBHD: At the ballpark
Attendance is down slightly from this time last year (3,674 compared to 3,732, or 1.5 percent), but that can be made up easily with one or two great turnouts.
While some people still may slip up and call it Blair County Ballpark or BCB -- and yes, I've done it a few times myself -- the transition to Peoples Natural Gas Field hasn't been any big deal at all. The big blue flame at the ballpark's VIP entrance is actually kind of cool, and the new name hasn't been shoved down our throats by the franchise.
The franchise has continued to do a great job using the popular Steamer, Diesel Dawg and Al Tuna as focal points, and the new Curverogie sandwich is very good (although the pierogie could be a little bigger because once that's gone, it's basically just a ham and cheese sandwich).
This sometimes gets taken for granted, but the ballpark is always exceptionally clean, and as long as that remains the case, it will continue to be a fun place to take friends and family. Grade: B+
Cory Giger has covered the Curve and done his annual midseason report card every year since the inaugural 1999 season.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - Imagine gazing at Lake Tahoe as a stunning full moon casts its iridescent spell. Now wouldn't it be wonderful if Glenn Miller's big-band hit "Moonlight Serenade" accompanied this reverie?
Happily, musical reveries like this abound as the North Tahoe High School Jazz Band presents 40s Night - A Tribute to Big Band Swing on Saturday, Jan. 26, 7-9:30 p.m. at the North Tahoe Event Center, Kings Beach.
An iconic Tahoe community event, 40s Night brings to life an era when all of America was listening and dancing to the same music: Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey, to name a few. On radio, in theaters and ballrooms, the big bands - not unlike the NTHS Jazz Band - garnered record crowds. This body of music did much to sustain national morale during World War II, the pivotal event of the 1940s.
This homage to "the greatest generation" is also a key fundraiser for the NTHS Jazz Band's goodwill tour in March. Under the direction of talented bandleader and principal jokester Dean Nordby, this energetic student group plans to perform at a variety of schools, hospitals and senior centers during its spring Goodwill Tour.
Attendees are encouraged to don 1940s garb or at the very least bring a swingin' attitude. Tickets are $20 per person and include hearty appetizers and a no host bar. Attendees must be 21 or older. Buy tickets from any NTHS Jazz Band member or at the door. For more information email email@example.com.

FOSTORIA - Ted Willman's vision back in the summer for Calvert basketball likely differed a great deal from the way things have played out.
There have been more valleys than peaks, more development than establishment and more frustration than satisfaction. Such is the measure of a 5-17 regular season.
But the Senecas will be one up on roughly half of the teams in the state after gaining an opening tournament victory Tuesday by bouncing Mohawk 84-70 in the Division IV sectional at Fostoria High School.
Article Photos
"You've got to build on something," Willman said after his club advanced to Friday's 6:15 p.m. title game against top-seeded Midland Athletic League co-champion Old Fort. The winner moves on to next week's Lakota district.
"We told the guys (Monday) night after practice this will be an opportunity and basically we've played 22 scrimmages," Willman said. "And anything can happen in tournament."
What happened for the Senecas Tuesday was the biggest offensive output of the year on their best shooting night. It was also their most productive night at the foul line and certainly one of their best rebounding nights.
Fact Box
Division IV Sectional
At Fostoria High School
Calvert 84, Mohawk 70
Calvert (6-17): Nick Warnement 3-1-8; Brian Gruss 3-5-12; Brad Iannantuono 0-3-3; Michael Bennett 5-6-16; Michael Smith 0-2-2; Donavon Stith 1-0-2; Austin Ball 4-2-11; Jared Thompson 8-2-18; Tyler Long 0-0-0; Marcus Somers 1-0-2; Austin Perry 3-4-10. Totals: 28-25-84.
Mohawk (7-16): Gunnar Johnson 2-0-5; Tyler Boyd 2-1-6; John Riedel 0-0-0; Mitch Parker 8-4-21; Joe Godinez 0-0-0; Drew Loose 8-4-21; Dillon Ochier 0-0-0; Tyler Krupp 0-0-0; Darby Walton 0-0-0; Grant Ekleberry 6-0-17. Totals: 26-9-70.
Calvert15162231 - 84
Mohawk8142028 - 70
Field goals: Calvert 28-47; Mohawk 26-66.
3-point goals: Calvert 3-9 (Warnement, Gruss, Ball); Mohawk 9-24 (Ekleberry 5, Johnson, Boyd, Parker, Loose).
Foul shots: Calvert 25-37; Mohawk 9-22.
Rebounds: Calvert 42 (Gruss 11, Warnement 8, Perry 8); Mohawk 29 (Loose 8, Boyd 5).
Turnovers: Calvert 20; Mohawk 16.
Calvert never trailed and the game was tied but once at 5-5 early in the first period. When Jared Thompson drove for a layup, it was the first of eight straight points in a matter of a minute and the foundation for a 15-8 first-quarter lead.
Though no one knew it at the time that was pretty much the ballgame. Mohawk could draw no closer than three points and Calvert never led by more than 13 until the Warriors sent the Senecas parading to the foul line often in the closing minutes.
"We just got behind early and we weren't able to pull back and get into our real style," Mohawk coach John Arnold said after his club closed a 7-16 season. "We got down on ourselves a little bit early and lost some confidence and we were never able to quite gain it back."
It was 21-18 after Mohawk's Mitch Parker scored on a post move with 2:49 left in the half.
Calvert senior point guard Nick Warnement, playing in only his fourth game after recovering from a wrist injury, sparked a big finish for the Senecas with a short jumper. He fed Austin Perry and Thompson for inside hoops and then Thompson added two more baskets on a drive and a power post play off a Michael Bennett pass. Parker's steal for two made it 31-22 at the half.
Calvert had a 25-9 rebounding advantage at that point and the margin was 42-29 by game's end. More important, the Senecas hit 28-of-47 from the field and converted 25-of-37 from the foul line.
Thompson led the winners with 18 points and contributed six rebounds.
"Jared had a nice night for us tonight," Willman said. "He went out and finished inside. We talked about getting to the rim. We felt we would have opportunities to get to the rim. Jared did that and Austin Perry (10 points, eight rebounds) did a good job in there, too."
"I give Jared Thompson a lot of credit," Arnold said. "He played very well tonight, did his job, didn't force anything and when they gave him the ball, he executed and scored. I wouldn't have thought he'd score 18 on us but he did and that's one of the differences of the game."
Calvert's leader board was crowded as Bennett tossed in 16 points, Brian Gruss scored 12 points and was the top rebounder with 11 and Austin Ball checked in with 11 points. It was Gruss' second double-double against the Warriors this year.
Meanwhile, Warnement just missed double figures with eight points, but he also had seven assists, six blocks and three steals.
For all of that, the Senecas were never able to get too comfortable. Parker and Drew Loose (eight rebounds) each scored 21 points for the Warriors and Grant Ekleberry had five 3-pointers on the way to a 17-point night.
"We told our guys Mohawk's going to play 32 minutes," Willman said. "If they had a couple (more) buckets that they make and we have some foul shots that we don't make, who knows?"
Old Fort roughed up the Senecas 89-32 but that was on Jan. 11, roughly a month before Warnement returned to the lineup.
"He's not 100 percent, but with him back, our guys have confidence in what they can do and I think we're looking for this opportunity," Willman said.

I grew up in the olden days as my grandkids would say, before such delights as Books on Tape
My first fascination with the spoken word came from my mother, who read to all of us when we were small. She was fond of English mysteries and introduced me at a very young age to such literary figures as Jane Marple and Sherlock Holmes. She loved hearing the spoken word too. I well remember her pressing sheets and shirts on her mangle iron, while listening to soap operas such as Just Plain Bill and Our Gal Sunday on that nifty device called radio.
It wasnt long before I fell in love with the spoken word, both the drama of it as well as the imagination it sparked. I clearly remember being both fascinated and scared out of my wits by such radio shows as Lets Pretend, and Inner Sanctum.
Lets Pretend was a Peabody award-winning show with a live and lively childrens audience which responded to the opening line Hello Pretenders! It adapted classic childrens stories and fairy tales like Rumpelstiltskin, Sleeping Beauty and Thumbelina
On Inner Sanctum, the programs familiar and famed audio trademark was the eerie creaking door which opened and closed the broadcasts. Exit statements were also often spoken by an eerie voice exhorting listeners after frightening them all during the program to have Pleasant dreeeeaams, hmmmmm?
Established stars familiar to those in my age bracket of the day included Boris Karloff, Mary Astor, Helen Hayes, Peter Lorre, Claude Rains, Joseph Cotton, Agnes Moorehead Geraldine Fitzgerald and Orson Welles.
And speaking of Orson Welles, he was responsible for frightening a large portion of the radio listening public into believing that the country was actually being invaded by Martians. This was during a 1938 Halloween episode of The Mercury Theatre on the Air. The presentation was actually an adaption of H. G. Wells1898 novel The War of the Worlds.
We lived in England for four years while stationed with the USAF and I listened regularly to a BBC Radio station that was devoted to drama. This just reinforced my enjoyment of English literature.
When I started working for this newspaper in the 1980s I was listening to Radio Reader with Dick Estell and then added Books on Tape while driving to and from work and on assignments. I stopped counting after 300 books, enjoying classics as well as best sellers.
Today in my semi-retirement I do the same things with CDs. I have a small CD player with earbuds. I tuck the player into what my mother used to refer to as a ladys upper regions and listen to books most every day. I listen while doing such things such as laundry, dishes, dusting and bed making. It makes the work more interesting and it seems to go faster.
Im still into light listening English based stories. The current library selections filling my tote bag today include. Agatha Christies And Then There Were None, Jeanne M. Dams Sins Outside of School, and Miss Reads Mrs. Pringle of Fairacre. Four of my favorite narrators of these books are Kate Reading, Donada Peters and the late Gwen Watford and Lynn Redgrave.
American history and biography are more of my great interests. I am on the waiting list for David McCulloughs tapes of his stories of Harry Truman and John Adams.
And I just cant wait!

Looking for some musical fun after the bonanza that is Spoleto? How about this blast from the past.
Spyro Gyra will be here today at the Charleston Music Hall. It marks the jazz fusion group's 40th anniversary, and they are still going strong. For those of us who remember their breakthrough album "Morning Dance," it will be a magical night.
It was one of the first groups to cross over from jazz to contemporary music, just mixing sound anyway they felt. Its latest album, "The Rhinebeck Sessions," was born of all those years together. The band got together and just did what jazz musicians do: see where the music takes them. It received a Grammy nomination, so you know the guys still have their chops.
During the time they have been together, they have performed more than 5,000 shows, released 30 albums (not counting "Best of" compilations) and sold more than 10 million albums. Not bad for a lifetime achievement. And, they aren't finished yet.
Also performing with Spyro Gyra is the Yellowjackets, another jazz fusion band with its origins in the 1970s.
The doors at 37 John St. open at 7 p.m. with the show starting at 8 p.m. Price is $55-$65.

Barn jam with pets
Or maybe you want to listen to a great Barn Jam and support Pet Helpers at the same time.
On June 22, Palmetto Brewing and Awendaw Green are bringing together six local bands for a day of music, food and adoptions from 2-7 p.m. at the Sewee Outpost.
Pet Helpers' mission is to help end the euthanasia of adoptable animals through low-cost spay/neuter and adoptions, but it all costs money and there's the challenge of finding suitable homes for all those lives saved. Pet Helpers is hoping to help 20 animals go home with new owners.
Eddie White, owner of Awendaw Green, has extended the invitation to participate in the Barn Jam to any bands who love animals and want to showcase their talents on the Awendaw Green stage.
Interested bands should e-mail Eddie White at email@example.com.
Admission to the event is open to all ages with a $5 donation at the door.
No coolers will be allowed, and pets on a leash are welcomed.
Guests can enjoy craft beer, wood-fired pizza and a full grill.
Participating bands include: Mozo, Katina Rose, McKenna Andrews, Matt MacKelcan, Jeff Dent and Nick Voyack.
For more information, visit www.pethelpers.org or www.awendawgreen.com.
DeWayne Sykes
And if you want to get out of the sun, there's an interesting show going on at the North Charleston City Gallery called "Carolina Soul: Works in Pyrography" by DeWayne Sykes.
Sykes is displaying two series of works shaped by his Lowcountry heritage, religious inspiration and childhood stories.
His featured images of Gullah-Geechee people, places and traditions are created through a technique called pyrography, which involves burning images into wood using an electrical tool or a pit fire.
The Gullah Inheritance series and The Gullah Define series are two distinct bodies of work, according to Sykes, with the latter incorporating the Gullah language and half-hidden symbolism. They hold significant meaning in the artist's life and reverence for the Gullah-Geechee culture.
"In these series, I am returning to my roots and childhood memories of being with my grandparents," Sykes explains. "They would carry my siblings and me around to visit family in Kingstree, Georgetown, and Hollywood, and we would go out into the fields and pick rice, peas, corn, watermelon, etc. In my work, the open horizon, the joining of sky and marshy lands, is my view of the Lowcountry lands that I grew up in."
What I like about Sykes is that he's a self-taught artist born and raised in Charleston. His works, which are often documentary in nature, are created in a variety of styles and mediums.
It's always interesting to see what such an artist will do, since they come to their art without the preconceived notions from traditional art training.
The work is on exhibit through the end of the month.
The North Charleston City Gallery is at 5001 Coliseum Dr. in North Charleston. It's open daily and is staffed on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Inquiries about the artists or purchase information may be directed to the North Charleston Cultural Arts Department at 740-5854.
Reach Stephanie Harvin at firstname.lastname@example.com or 937-5557.

In her 2010 book Badass: A Hard-Earned Guide to Living Life with Style and (the Right) Attitude, Shannen Doherty said she had no regrets about her rocky past "because it's made me who I am today." But thinking about it more closely, she wishes she could do things differently after all.
"My parents raised me better than [the person I portrayed in the media], and I regret ever hurting my parents," the former Beverly Hills, 90210 actress, 40, said on an episode of The Talk that aired Tuesday. "What's funny is the older you get, the more honest [with yourself] I think you actually become."
Also on her list of regrets is lost job prospects. (Watch the interview below.)
"I sit here and go, 'Wow, did I blow some major opportunities?' " she says. "I [blew] some huge opportunities in my career [that] I've had to work very, very hard to try and get back."
Moving forward from her catfights and failed marriages that filled tabloid pages when she was much younger, Doherty is now happier than ever, recently telling PEOPLE that married life with photographer hubby Kurt Iswarienko is "phenomenal."
The trials and tribulations that led up to their picturesque Oct. 2011 Malibu, Calif., nuptials have been documented for WEtv's reality series, Shannen Says which premieres on Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET.

on December 21, 2012 - 7:37 PM
Northwest District Police Officer Robert W. Yeates, a 26-year veteran of the city's police force, was cleared Friday by an Erie County grand jury of any wrongdoing in the deadly shooting of a grandmother who fatally stabbed her 4-year-old grandson, then attempted to attack the officer last summer.
Yeates responded to the stabbing scene in Riverside the afternoon of Aug. 1 and the grandmother, Charlene Fears, 38, repeatedly advanced at him with two bloodstained butcher knives, prompting Yeates to act in self-defense, according to Thomas H. Burton, a Buffalo PBA lawyer who represents police in cases involving use of deadly force.
Fears had stabbed her grandson, Roderick "Manny" Geiger III, at the family's home at 195 Esser Ave. Her neighbors described her as someone who struggled with mental illness.
"It was not disclosed initially, but it turned out that the motive behind this gut-wrenching event was a suicide-by-cop circumstance, which started with the little boy and ended when Officer Yeates had nowhere else to go," Burton said.
Sources close to the case confirmed that the grandmother left behind a suicide note prior to stabbing her grandson.
"This event unwound like a bad horror movie, only it was real – terrifying to all concerned and deadly in its outcome," said Burton, who added that the officer urged Fears seven times to drop the knives as she came toward him across the living room and into the front vestibule of the home.
"Even after she had been shot once, she took another swipe at the officer before collapsing from a second shot," Burton said. "It will take some time for the image of the little boy to go away, but at least the grand jury gave Yeates a well-deserved outcome with its findings."

Didn't see a topic on this yet, so here we go. (And I'm not counting the Mantha to GR thread, this one deserves it's own)
2014 Memorial Cup starts tonight and Anthony Mantha is playing after a very short break from QMJHL finals.
There's the link to the Memorial Cup site with all games and timings.
Wings have Anthony Mantha and Tyler Bertuzzi there. I don't believe any other players are Wings prospects, but the tournament should be awesome and Mantha should be showcased heavily after scoring 81 goals in 81 games between regular season and playoffs this year. I honestly hope he never plays for GR.
