DailyTech reported yesterday on GM's announcement that it had found a buyer for the Hummer brand of heavy utility vehicles. The mystery buyer promised to take on the brand and help expand its international presence. In the process it saved a number of jobs at Hummer plants and helped GM complete a major step toward moving out of bankruptcy.
Now the identity of the mystery buyer has been revealed. Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Company Ltd., a Chinese industrial firm, will be purchasing the brand and attempting to revive it.
States Yang Yi, chief executive of Tengzhong, "We plan to ... allow Hummer to innovate and grow in exciting new ways under the leadership and continuity of its current management team."
He did, however, hint at changes stating that the deal "will allow Hummer to better meet demand for new products such as more fuel-efficient vehicles in the U.S."
The companies hope to have the deal finalized by September. The deal does not concern the military Hummer technology owned by defense contractor AM General, which licensed the brand name to GM for civilian vehicle purposes. AM General will now, in turn, license the name to Sichuan Tengzhong, which will continue the civilian Hummer development.

Here's an example of a good idea morphing into a great one.
Coach Scott Welch wanted to create an opportunity where his Nichols girls' team could measure itself against the team considered the best in the nation among prep schools. At last season's USA Hockey Tournament, Welch approached Shattuck-St. Mary's counterpart Gordon Stafford, the father of Buffalo Sabres forward Drew, proposing that the teams play a two-game series.
The longtime coach of the Minnesota school made a counteroffer: Why not have a tournament in which they get to play each other twice, while also testing their teams against two of the best Canada has to offer?
Stafford immediately sold Welch on the idea. Welch then sold Nichols Athletic Director Rob Stewart on it, and thus we have a unique weekend in Minnesota where Nichols, the reigning North American Prep Hockey League (NAPHL) and Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association champion, gets to see just how good it is.
It will play four tough games in two days, beginning today at 11 a.m. when the Vikings face Shaftesbury of Manitoba, a team with 11 Division I prospects and ranked second among prep schools in Canada.
Nichols also plays at 6 p.m. today against another Manitoba-based team, Pembina. Nichols then plays two games Sunday against Shattuck-St. Mary's, which lost in the national semifinals of the USA Hockey 19-under Tournament last season.
"It's going to be a good test for us," senior center Maddie Elia said Thursday night in between the team's off-ice workout and scheduled practice at Dann Memorial Rink.
"Should be a lot of fun," added Welch.
It's the test any competitor wants. It's a test Nichols, which is using the event to prepare for next weekend's NAPHL playoffs, welcomes because tough competition – whether it's from opponents or teammates pushing one another – has helped the players develop into college prospects. A good number of the Nichols players have been teammates for years at the travel level with the Buffalo Bisons – a perennial participant in national tournaments.
"Our bar has always been Shattuck's, the No. 1 team in the country," Welch said. "My bar was to go play them and kind of challenge them because we're always sitting No. 2 or 3 so it's like let's go play the best and see how we really stack up."
The current myhockeyrankings.com poll lists Nichols (24-4-1) at No. 3 and Shattuck (20-19-2) a spot behind, but Welch dismisses that as arbitrary. While Nichols does play a tough schedule, Shattuck plays perhaps an even more daunting one. Shattuck has a long reputation for sending players to Division I programs (five current seniors are already committed to Division I schools as are three juniors, with eight other juniors on the Division I radar) and to the U.S. National program.
Nichols may consider itself the underdog entering the tournament but a good number of the players on the roster were members of last season's Buffalo Bisons team. That squad finished as national runner-up in the USA Hockey Tournament Under-16 Division to perennial thorn in its side Assabet Valley of Massachusetts.
The Vikings have five Division I recruits, other potential ones and two others who will play at Division III Oswego.
Elia will attend Boston University. Classmate and defenseman Kelly Seward is heading for Penn State. Juniors Allison Gasuik and Julianna Iafallo have verbally committed to Ohio State, while classmate Madison Sansone has done the same with Providence.
Sophomore goalie Madison Welch already has received Division I interest.
Senior defenseman Kristy Knoll, who is recovering from two knee surgeries, also would have been committed to either a Division I or III school by now if not for the injuries. Kendall Appelbaum and Ashley Lyman will play collegiately at Oswego.
That's a lot of talent developed through years of hard work. A collective effort that ultimately led to Welch's idea, and this weekend's hockey adventure.
"That's one of the nice things with this program since I've been involved the last three years," Welch said of Nichols. "They really want to turn this program into a national power. The school has been very supportive. The athletic director has been great and because of that they really helped coordinate and put this thing together for us."
Schmelzer honored
The honors keep pouring in for East Amherst's Ryan Schmelzer of the Buffalo Junior Sabres. After being named Ontario Junior Hockey League Player of the Month for January, he was the first player to receive the Canadian Junior Hockey League's new First Star of the Month Award. The CJHL consists of 10 leagues in Canada.
Think the NHL's version of the Three Stars of the Month and you get the idea of what the CJHL version is all about.
Schmelzer had eight goals and 17 points in seven games during the month of January. He had two four-point games and one five-point effort.
The former Williamsville East player ranks ninth in the OJHL with 61 points (24 goals, 37 assists) in 45 games.

Certainly not no risk. But for one year, the Wings having cap space, and few options out there, it would've been lower risk than I expected.
I simply have to disagree with the "no risk" assessment of signing Semin to a one-year deal. No risk after this season, but plenty of risk for this season!
I seem to remember Holland saying from the get go he wasn't interested in Semin though. I thought maybe that was a poker face, but I guess not.
As I said before, Semin seemed like a good candidate for another Holland reclamation project.

Maryland Department of Labor Leads Successful Efforts to Protect Consumers, Provide Safety Net for Unemployed Marylanders, Combat Fraud
Maryland Labor Secretary applauds Governor OMalleys leadership and commitment to service during 2011 Legislative Session
BALTIMORE, MD (April 15, 2011) The Maryland General Assembly, which adjourned Sine Die on Monday, passed important measures during the 2011 Legislative Session strengthening the states ability to protect consumers, provide a safety net for Marylanders impacted by the national economic downturn and combat fraud. The Maryland Department of Labor (DLLR) also worked closely with Governor OMalleys legislative office to save horseracing and keep the Preakness in Maryland.
I commend Governor OMalley and the Maryland General Assembly for a productive and collaborative session. While other states allowed partisan politics to delay progress and used political divisions to weaken consumer protections and safety nets for working families, Marylands elected leaders showed leadership and stood up for our families, Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez said. I am proud of the DLLR legislative team for building on the success of past years and continuing our Departments commitment to serving the people of Maryland.
DLLRs most notable successes include:
The DLLR Division of Labor and Industry successfully fought back legislative efforts that would have weakened the states prevailing wage and living wage laws and worked closely with legislators to pass legislation prohibiting employers from using a potential employees credit report as a basis to deny employment.
Governor OMalley also included $1.13 million in the supplemental budget to fund over 900 summer jobs for young people in Baltimore City and $370,000 for the Civic Justice Corps that provides conservation service opportunities for young people in Marylands state parks.
DLLR oversees the OMalley-Brown administrations efforts to prevent foreclosure and protect homeowners from fraud; develop and train a dynamic and skilled workforce to compete in the new economy; enforce wage and safety laws that protect workers in the workplace; provide occupational and professional licensing to protect consumers against incompetent and unscrupulous practitioners; and provide a safety net for unemployed Marylanders while they find new work in a recovering economy.

In the past, being a senior citizen meant that the food that you ate was bland and uninteresting. Between all of your various health concerns, such a diabetes, high blood pressure, or stroke risk, the doctor often had you on a strict diet, which meant boring food.

NEW CUMBERLAND - There's more to being a truck driver than loving the open road.
These days, truck drivers are highly-trained professionals who require special certifications and clearances, depending on what they're hauling and where they're hauling it to. The oil and gas industry prefers drivers with a hazardous materials endorsement, for example.
Hancock County Schools Superintendent Suzan Smith and Martin Hudek, director of secondary, adult and career education, have been watching the growth of that industry and saw an opportunity.

That opportunity is now a reality in the form of the commercial driver's license (CDL) program at the John D. Rockefeller IV Career Center. Through the program, students age 21 and older can receive a CDL and be well on their way to a career in truck driving, Hudek said.
"If you're willing to be trained, if you can pass the tests and if you're willing to work, you can get a job," Hudek said. The tests include a physical, a background check and a drug screening.
The program at the career center has been about a year in the making, Hudek said. A $262,000 Local Education Agency grant from the West Virginia Department of Education is covering the cost of instructor salaries, curriculum and equipment. The school has two tractors, a flat-bed trailer and a 53-foot box trailer for training purposes.
Hudek said Hancock County Schools decided to start the CDL program to meet the increasing demand for well-trained, well-educated truck drivers, especially in the oil and gas industry.
"The job opportunities are good. The salaries are good," he said.
Teaching the course are instructors Tim Egyud, who has 23 years' experience, and John Barber, who has eight years' experience.
"When you get a CDL, the doors are wide open," Barber said. "You can go anywhere you want."
The Hancock County program started in October and is getting ready to enroll its second student. Seven to eight students are on a waiting list until they are approved for financial aid, Hudek said.
Students must take 12 weeks of classes before they can test for the CDL. Acceptance into the program is contingent on getting a permit that authorizes the student to drive with a licensed driver, Hudek said.
The first six weeks of the program are spent on maneuverability skills. The second six weeks are spent on the road, on real-life driving scenarios. Once the coursework is completed, the student is ready to test for the CDL, Egyud said. The Hancock County program qualifies students to receive their CDL in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Further testing is needed if the student wants to be endorsed to drive a hazardous materials trailer, a double/triple trailer or a tanker truck, Egyud said.
In addition to the oil and gas industry, there is a demand for truck drivers from the Wal-Mart Distribution Center in Wintersville, Ohio, which contracts with Schneider National, Egyud said.
"They're looking for 20 guys," he said.
For more information about the CDL program, call the career center at 304-564-3337.

When Oracle Charter school senior Jeffrey Ngayot told some friends in his West Side neighborhood that his basketball team would be playing McKinley this season, their response was: "you're gonna get blown out."
"Y'all school's too little," Ngayot recalled them saying. "You can't beat us."
As Ngayot (pronounced guy-OUT) and the rest of his teammates showed last Friday, Oracle proved wiser than those wisecracks. The Phoenix turned many heads around Western New York high school basketball with its 80-75 victory at large school power McKinley. It was the biggest win in four years of basketball at the school.
Seniors like Ngayot, Leon Johnson and Gerald Bibbs have played for coach Brian Pawloski's program since the beginning, when Oracle struggled to seasons of 2-17 and 4-16 before turning things around last year with a 15-5 mark. This season the Phoenix are 14-1 and the McKinley win vaulted them into their first appearance in The News small school poll, where they are seventh.
"There was just a ton of joy," said Pawloski, an Amherst High graduate. "These guys get here as soon as we open the gym. They love being together. They love playing around. We have a big brother on the team, we definitely have a little brother, we've actually got one like an older sister, looking out for everyone. … When you've got things like that, it leads to something like this."
When the program began four years ago, the numbers weren't good at 888 Delaware Ave. (it plays most home games at St. Mary's School for the Deaf), and not just in the win column. In the first year, Oracle's two-win season ended with just five players being academically eligible. The next season, it was four wins, with nine players eligible. Pawloski remembers an early road trip to Westfield in which the opposing coach took his own timeouts to mitigate a game that was out of hand.
Two years ago, the academic performance improved as the program began growing with summer league play. That led to 15 wins last season, which ended with 17 players eligible. This season, the Phoenix are at 14 wins, and Pawloski expects most of the 30 players to be eligible.
"My teammates push me to work harder, and they want me to do the same for them," said Bibbs. "We're like family. We've got good coaches – we're staying on track of our academics, making sure we stay eligible and getting ready for sectionals. [The coaches] just want us to reach our full potential.
"They just want us to be successful in life, go to college," said Bibbs, who added the coaches and the program have helped him improve in the classroom after being suspended multiple times last year. "They stay on our back, but I appreciate it. They make sure we're focused on the stuff we need to be focusing on."
Oracle's starters are seniors Julius Allen, Jamarr Cunningham, Eric Waters and Bibbs along with junior Antone Gulledge. Key reserves include seniors Leon Johnson, Kinny Rawls and Ngayot as well as junior Nelson Modi.
"We tell the guys excellence begets excellence," said Pawloski, whose assistants are Mike McKee and brother Mark Pawloski. "If you hold yourself to a high standard in the classroom, you can do that same kind of work on the court, and vice versa."
Charter schools are technically public schools, which makes them members of Section VI.
CSAT, located in the Town of Tonawanda and a longtime member of the Niagara-Orleans League, broke through last year to win Class B-2 and become the first charter school to win a Section VI championship.
Oracle is in Class C-1, which is also home to defending Class C champion Middle Early College, which is the only other C-1 team ranked in this week's small school poll (the Kats are fifth and have been ranked much of the year).
"We're just trying to stay on track," said Bibbs. "Don't get too cocky, and don't underestimate anybody, because anything can happen."

Lauren Mariacher and I host PrepTalkTV Weekly tonight, and our guests will be from boys basketball's No. 1 large school: Niagara Falls coach Sal Constantino and seniors Jermaine Crumpton and Jaleo Wilkins.

Stetson University Director of Athletics Jeff Altier announced today that the contract of head volleyball coach Tim Loesch will not be extended when it expires at the end of February.
Loesch's contract expires at the end of February and he will remain as head coach while a national search is being conducted for the Hatters' new head coach.
"I am proud of the strides the volleyball program has made over the last three years under Tim's leadership," Altier said. "The fact that the program had its first winning season this past fall since 2002 is a testament to his abilities.
"He was instrumental in the launch of our sand volleyball program two years ago and has provided that program with a solid foundation for the future."
Loesch has served as the head coach for the Hatters' indoor volleyball team for three seasons and for the outdoor sand volleyball squad for two seasons. A native of Charlotte, NC, Loesch compiled a record of 31-65 with the indoor team over three years, including an 18-16 mark this past fall, as well as a 22-19 mark in two seasons with the sand volleyball program.
"I appreciate President Wendy Libby and Athletic Director Jeff Altier giving me the opportunity to rebuild the indoor volleyball team and to start a sand volleyball program from scratch," Loesch said. "I am very proud of the progress made with both teams, from our record on the court to our GPA in the classroom.
"I especially want to thank each of my players for their determined efforts at improving Stetson volleyball and wish them the best in the future."
The Stetson sand volleyball team will open its third season of competition by hosting the Stetson Spring Break Duals on March 7-8.

The location of the Erie County Home in Alden, so far away from the families of its residents, always made it a problem for those wishing to visit loved ones. The move away from an outdated building in a rather remote location to a new facility on the Erie County Medical Center campus is welcome, and long overdue.
Several hundred nursing home residents have made the move from Alden into the $103 million Terrace View Long-Term Care Facility on Grider Street along the Kensington Expressway. The new nursing home not only reflects a sound business decision under the leadership of CEO Jody L. Lomeo, it also is in keeping with today's efforts to better reflect the needs of the home's residents.
As reported in The News, the new nursing home is organized into small-scale, 12-bed households, each with a living room and fireplace, kitchen and dining room. It also includes a 60-bed short-term rehabilitation area, a 20-bed ventilation unit and beds dedicated to residents with Alzheimer's disease, dementia and traumatic brain injury.
Terrace View is named for the design feature of multiple terraces providing outside areas for residents. It is a patient-centered approach that was woefully missing with the old facility in a decrepit, 87-year-old institution across from the county jail.
The fact that the attractive, state-of-the-art 275,000-square-foot building is connected to the hospital and two other facilities on the ECMC campus via public corridor is a huge benefit to the residents.
This move not only serves residents and their families who live in the Buffalo area, it benefits the majority of the 400 employees who also live in the city. The idea of a difficult, 16-mile bus commute for workers, as Lomeo pointed out, is not just a minor inconvenience. Getting and retaining good workers to care for the residents, many of whom are on Medicaid, can be a challenge. Making it easier to get to work helps.
Also saved is the estimated $900,000-a-year cost to ECMC to transport residents back and forth between the hospital and the home. Lomeo told The News that the old home lost from $4 million to $12 million a year. The new nursing home is expected to reduce current operating losses by 60 percent.
The new home is one of many changes as ECMC continues to transform itself from a county agency dependent on a county subsidy to a public benefit corporation that can act independently. The new $27 million Regional Center of Excellence for Transplantation & Kidney Care opened on the campus a year ago. The hospital announced a $35 million Regional Behavioral Health Center of Excellence, a consolidation of Kaleida's and ECMC's behavioral health and substance treatment facilities, into one expanded area of ECMC.
Terrace View and the centers of excellence are part of a five-year, $200 million expansion on ECMC's health campus that is 80 percent complete.
The patient-centered Terrace View is a remarkable achievement for ECMC. The facility will improve care for its hundreds of residents while being more efficient.

New Jersey's 'Stronger Than the Storm' Ads End, Replaced by 'Going Strong'
The "Stronger than the Storm" tourism ads that blanketed the airwaves last year are not making a comeback this season. Instead, prepare for "Going Strong."
New Jersey's new tourism ads began airing Monday on major New York and Philadelphia networks, along with cable channels, according to a spokeswoman for the state Department of Economic Development. Digital ads started last month, while radio spots will begin at the end of April, she said.
Last year's ad campaign was well-known for its jingle—either a point of pride or annoyance. Even Gov. Chris Christie joked about its pervasiveness.
"'Stronger than the Storm' is not coming back, so for all of you who still can't get the song out of your head, you'll get a new one in," Mr. Christie said during his monthly radio show in March.
The new ads' jingle is "we are going strong, at the Jersey Shore," according to a copy viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The state is spending $1 million in federal funds on the ads, the EDA spokeswoman said. The campaign will also tap $5 million in superstorm Sandy aid if approved by the federal government later this year as part of New Jersey's efforts to get tourists to return to the shore.
Tourism is a $36 billion industry in New Jersey, and the 2012 storm badly impacted the state's shore rentals and amenities for visitors. Much of the shore's tourist infrastructure was replaced last year in time for the shore season, but seasonal rentals are still being rebuilt.
Last year, the federal government allocated $25 million for New Jersey's "Stronger than the Storm" campaign, which included promotional events and billboards along with the ads.
State Democrats criticized the ads for featuring images of Mr. Christie and his family in taxpayer-sponsored promotions during an election year. Mr. Christie chalked up the criticism of the campaign and his appearance in it as "politics," and said the campaign was an important component of helping to save the shore tourism economy.
The state's new tourism campaign doesn't feature images of Mr. Christie.
Instead, there are scenes of surfers, the boardwalk and amusement rides. Children build sandcastles, men play chess and a young crowd is seen at a rock concert at the Stone Pony.
"See why the Jersey Shore is going strong and start planning your summer getaway today," a woman says during the spot.
The 15- and 30-second spots are running in English and Spanish. MWW, the public relations firm that was hired last year for the tourism campaign, again oversaw the development of the ads.

One of the bigger topics fans and media were talking about at the Altoona Fieldhouse this past weekend was the District 6 Class AAA Tournament is certainly not what it used to be.
Those of a certain age can remember when the tournament had 16 teams and there was a lot of depth at the weight classes. Even older veterans of the tournament can probably remember that number being higher.
But through the years, because of declining population, teams like Cambria Heights, Central Cambria, Huntingdon, Ligonier Valley, Penn Cambria, Somerset and, just recently, Westmont Hilltop, moved to Class AA. Indian Valley and Lewistown merged to become Mifflin County. Johnstown Vo-Tech dropped the sport.
So, now the tournament is down to nine teams.
At eight of the weights, at least half of the wrestlers had losing records. Some of the weights were missing the district's best wrestlers, including Philipsburg-Osceola 106-pounder Chris Thompson and 145-pounder Andrew Greenawalt, who probably would have been second seeds if not for knee injuries.
State College's third-seeded 132-pounder Mike Kauffman was a late scratch. That was one of four scratches that left the tournament with no preliminary bouts and just the quarterfinal round being wrestled on the first night. Last year, there were six preliminary and first-round consolation bouts.
There has been criticism in the past about District 9, which has five teams, but advanced three wrestlers at every weight to the Northwest Regional. I've been saying for years that District 6 and 9 should merge for a district tournament. The districts did do that from 1938 to 1953.
This year, District 9 combined with District 4 to form a nine-team tournament.
District 6 Tournament director Bill Reimer says there are no plans right now to merge with another district. If District 6 did merge with 4 and 9, that would make it an 18-team tournament, and a new venue would probably have to be found.
The District 6 Class AA Tournament has 25 teams, but Altoona has no school on that Friday because of the President's Day weekend. School is still in session on the first day for the Class AAA tournament. The Class AAA tournament would have to be moved, possibly Central Mountain, which has a big gym but isn't centrally located.
There's also no plans on the table to hold the tournament in one day. The tournament was held on one day in 2010 because of the postponement of the first day due to winter weather. One problem from that, however, was one consolation bout had to be wrestled the next day at Rec Hall because of a PIAA rule that says you can't wrestle more than five bouts in a day.
The district also lost money from admission and concession sales it would have made on Friday of that year. Reimer pointed out that wrestling, football and basketball are the only revenue-making sports in the district.
Maybe next year there will be more depth at the weights, and it will be more competitive.
Maybe that will help ease the longing for those past glory days.
Dibert takes 4th in stride
It was a great weekend for Altoona's T.J. Brandt, who won his fourth District 6 Class AAA title, and Chestnut Ridge's Tyler Dibert, who claimed his fourth District 5 crown.
Dibert says he took the milestone in stride and didn't get too emotional about it.
"I didn't want to be overzealous in my reaction," he said. "When you win, you have to be gracious, and when you lose, you can't throw a fit. I guess there was some relief when I won."
Dibert was the first since Lester McLucas in 1961 to win four for Ridge.
"I spent most of my time [Saturday night and Sunday] with my family, and I think they reminded me about 100 times," he said.

The Love Canal environmental catastrophe, which finally came to light in the late '70s before prompting international attention and spurring some environmental reform, is a distant memory for most Western New York residents. But the crisis and its aftermath still weigh heavily on the mind of Wheatfield-based painter Tricia Butski, whose exhibition of Love Canal-inspired paintings runs through April 26 in Dunkirk's Adams Art Gallery.
Butski's series of oils depicts the quiet, eerie spaces left behind by the neighborhood's evacuation as well as visions of the toxic waste responsible for the whole affair. The show will also feature artifacts from the site as well as explanatory maps that provide a deeper sense of how the crisis played out.
"The Love Canal crisis received national and international attention as the entire neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York, had to be relocated due to the amount of toxins in the soil and groundwater," a statement reads. "Although much of the disaster's details have been forgotten, generations continue to suffer from its shattering effects." – Colin Dabkowski
"The Love Canal Revisited" – Where: Adams Art Gallery, 600 Central Ave., Dunkirk. When: Through April 26; reception at 6 p.m. Saturday. Admission: Free .Info: 366-7450 or www.adamsart.org

This holiday season, why not incorporate one of the newest food trends?
Three words: Meatballs are back. First came the BBQ craze, then the burger trend and now meatballs are making their own comeback. Meatballs are great at parties – they offer many varieties from many nationalities, easy finger food and who doesn't love a meatball?
A little fun meatball gossip: I have planned quite a few parties where Donald Trump's been a guest. He loves Swedish meatballs, and with me being born in Sweden and all. I had to of course make my grandmother's Swedish meatballs for him. (Scroll down for the recipe!)
Boozy Donuts with Creme Brulee ToppingDonuts are the new cupcakes, and this is an easy way to spruce-up a plain, store-bought donut from afternoon snack to fun dessert.
6 sugar-covered donuts
½ cup of sugar
3 oz. liqueur of choice
Heat the donuts in the oven at 250 degrees for 5 minutes.
Pour the sugar on a plate, brush the top of the warm donuts with water and dip in the sugar.
Then, after filling a small turkey baster or cake decorating tool with the liqueur, insert the tool in multiple spots in the bottom of the donuts and inject the booze.
Tip! Everyone likes to watch when there's fire involved. So if you have a brulee torch, burn the sugar on top of the donuts until it becomes a hard sugar topping. Let your guests watch – you'll look like a pro and their mouths will be watering just in time for a warm donut!
When throwing parties, I always like to batch up cocktails so people don't get stuck behind the bar too long. When entertaining at home and you don't have help, it's a must. Pre-making larger pitchers is easiest, and one of my favorite "pitcher drinks" also happens to also be Kim Kardashian's.
I put together an event hosted by the Kardashian sisters in L.A., and we wanted to make a signature drink for each sister. For Kim, I heard her favorite cocktail was a drink called Xante Berry created by bartender Ricky Broni, so of course we made the drink for the party. After spending the spending the evening drinking KK's favorite it's now one of my favorite "pitcher drinks" as well.
Berry Pitcher drink 1 1⁄2 oz Xanté
1 1⁄2 oz fresh lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup
3 strawberries
In a pitcher, muddle the strawberries with simple syrup and add the lemon juice, Xanté (which can best be described as a pear cognac).
Let it sit until you're ready to serve, then add ice, and strain into your guests' glasses. No mixing necessary.
Tip: Simply take the recipe and multiply by as many cocktails you want to serve; estimate about 10 drinks per pitcher.
Linnea's family recipe for Swedish MeatballsThis recipe is total Swedish-ness on a plate, and my family has been making these meatballs for generations!
1 lb ground beef 1 garlic clove 1 yellow onion 1 egg ½ cup bread crumbs, non flavored ½ cup milk ½ tsp salt ½ tsp pepper 2 tbsp parsley 2 tbsp butter for frying
In a large bowl, grate the onion and garlic on a grater.
To the onion/garlic mixture, add the ground beef and egg.
In a separate small bowl, add the milk and bread crumbs. Let sit for a few minutes until milk is absorbed by the bread crumbs.
Add the bread crumb mixture to the ground beef, with salt and pepper and parsley. Stir.
Place in refrigerator to marinate the flavors for about 30 minutes.
Wet your hands, and roll small approximately 1 inch in diameter meatballs and place on a plate.
Heat a heavy pan on low to medium heat, ad butter and fry to a golden brown for about 7 minutes. Only fry about 1/3 meatball at a time to keep the pan hot. Keep a close eye on them, and turn often to make sure they brown on all sides.
Swedish Meatball SauceThe secret is definitely in the sauce and you can't eat Swedish meatballs without a cream meatball sauce.
2 tbsp butter 2 tbsp flour 2 cups of half and half ½ vegetable bullion cube 3 tbsp sherry wine 1 dash of Worcester sauce salt and pepper
In the heavy pan, add an additional 2 tbsp of butter, and 2 tbsp of flour. Melt butter on low heat and stir in flour.
Then add 2 cups of half and half, and the vegetable bullion. Stir and heat on medium till simmering.
When simmering, lower heat and ad 3 tbsp of sherry wine. Add 1 dash of Worcester sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
Serve up the sauce with the Swedish meatballs, and of course, for extra Swedish flavor, serve with a spoon or two of lingonberries!

Cardinal Comeback Falls Short against Kent State
MUNCIE, Ind. -- The Ball State men's basketball team dropped a 61-47 decision Saturday afternoon to Mid-American Conference foe Kent State at Worthen Arena.
Majok Majok notched his fifth double-double of the season with a 13-point, 11-rebound effort, while Chris Bond added 10 points and nine boards for the Cardinals.
Ball State whittled an 18-point deficit all the way down to one with just under seven minutes to play, pounding the ball into Majok, who attacked the basket for much of the second half. But the Cardinals' surge came up short, and they could not overcome a rough all-around shooting day.
The Cardinals fell to 7-7 on the season and 1-1 in MAC play with the loss, while the Golden Flashes improved to 10-6 and 1-1 in league action.
Ball State continues MAC play next week with back-to-back road trips to face Akron on Wednesday and Central Michigan on Saturday.
Just days after turning in their best shooting performance of the season in a win at Eastern Michigan, the Cardinals suffered through their lowest shooting percentage of the season Saturday against Kent State.
Ball State made 17 of 61 shots from the floor (27.9 percent), 5 of 23 from 3-point range (21.7 percent) and 8 of 24 from the free throw line (33.3 percent). Despite all that, the Cardinals were right in the game down the stretch.
Ball State held a 48-39 advantage on the boards, including a commanding 23-8 margin on the offensive glass. But the Cardinals were only able to turn those 23 offensive rebounds into 10 second-chance points.
"I thought Majok's performance on the interior was impressive," Ball State coach Billy Taylor said. "Our rebounding effort was absolutely tremendous. If we can keep getting that kind of rebounding effort, I have confidence in what this team can do."
A 20-1 Kent State run to close the first half left Ball State trailing 35-20 at the break, and a 3-point play by Melvin Tabb on the first possession of the second half gave the Golden Flashes their largest lead of the day at 38-20.
Ball State then began to claw its way back. Still trailing 44-28 with 14:29 to play, the Cardinals went on a run of their own. They held Kent State scoreless for the next six and a half minutes, going on a 16-1 spurt.
Majok hit the first of two free throw attempts with 6:55 on the clock to cut the deficit to 45-44, but the second one would not fall. Kent State's Bryson Pope grabbed the rebound and was fouled, and the Golden Flashes scored the next five points to take control back.
"I thought our effort was tremendous today," Taylor said. "I thought our guys played with great passion, great energy. We had a bad stretch at the end of the first half when they went on a run and we allowed them to get out in transition. But we fought back.
"We showed a lot of resiliency, a lot of character. We got the game to one possession and just couldn't convert when we needed to in order to get over the hump."
Ball State trimmed the lead to four points one last time at 50-46, but Kent State then scored 11 of the game's final 12 points to close it out.
Randal Holt scored a game-high 16 points for Kent State and Chris Evans added 14, both off the bench, for a Golden Flashes team that shot 40.4 percent for the game.
Ball State led by as many as eight in the game's early going after forcing Kent State into 1-of-11 shooting to start the day. The Golden Flashes grabbed their first lead on a 3-pointer from Holt with 6:14 to play in the first half and were able to hang onto the lead the rest of the way.

But not all Oscar kisses are created equally.
Just as kissing a human requires a hundred instant mental calculations – Cheek or lips? How much tongue? – so does kissing an Oscar. Below, a look at some of the ways Oscar winners have chosen to smooch their statue at their moment of triumph.
Our story begins with Audrey Hepburn, one of the first Hollywood stars to kiss her award in public. (Many previous winners undoubtedly enjoyed one or two moments of passion with the trophy in the privacy of their own homes.) Here, Hepburn shows off the easiest form of the trophy kiss, holding the trophy face-out while she plants a demure smooch on the back of its head.

Years later, Angelina Jolie would show off the modern version of the pose.

A more popular variant is the cheek-kiss, used when you'd rather treat your Oscar like a close friend than a baby.

It doesn't always work, though, as the angle makes for some amusing miscues.

It's a rare star who can actually manage to kiss their Oscar plumb on the lips, but Penélope Cruz managed it perfectly.

Her husband, Javier Bardem, though, performed a slightly more risqué act upon his own trophy. We've saved it for last, in case there were any children reading.

ST. PAUL -- Minnesota and Wisconsin officials say they are close to an agreement designed to return to simpler times when people who live in one state and work in the other only file one state income tax return. Legislators from both states told revenue department officials they want the issue settled sooner rather than later. Revenue officials say most details have been worked out to restore the program, but Minnesota's revenue commissioner said he needs to make sure his state does not lose money. Minnesota Gov.
ST. PAUL -- Minnesota legislators are considering reinstating a deal with Wisconsin so people who live in one state and work in the other do not need to file two income tax returns. A bill studying the situation is set to be included in an overall tax bill later this legislative session and Rep. Greg Davids, R-Preston, said he plans a bill to reinstate the tax reciprocity arrangement. Then-Gov. Tim Pawlenty killed the reciprocity arrangement after Wisconsin fell 17 months behind paying what it owes Minnesota. New Wisconsin Gov.
A telephone call between Minnesota and Wisconsin governors about a tax dispute has been delayed until later this week. Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, both new to the offices, plan to talk about tax reciprocity, which until this year allowed a taxpayer in one state who works in the other to file just one state income tax return. Walker told reporters Tuesday that he wanted to negotiate with Dayton. On Tuesday night, Dayton said that Wisconsin owes $58 million "to make Minnesota whole," but he stopped short of saying that he would accept nothing less.
Wisconsin's new Republican governor is taking the same tactic as Minnesota GOP legislators to help the economy: finding ways to help businesses so they can create more jobs. Gov. Scott Walker toured his state Tuesday, including stops in Hudson and Superior next to Minnesota, touting that Wisconsin is "open for business." Twenty-three signs saying that are being posted at entrances to the state. Walker pointed out Minnesota Gov.
ST. PAUL -- Minnesota and Wisconsin governors are trying to fix a tax controversy they inherited upon taking office last week. Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton on Friday sent Wisconsin Gov.
Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle appeared before the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, asking that his state get its share of money from a federal economic recovery package. Wisconsin and Minnesota economies are hurting, so their leaders feel a need to pressure Congress to return their citizens more federal money than they receive now. To the west, in North Dakota, the story is different.
HUDSON - Sen. John McCain drove home one point time and again during his campaign swing through Minnesota and Wisconsin - "straight talk" is more than a campaign slogan to him. For instance, he drew a strong contrast between him and fellow Republican President Bush over environmental issues. The Republican presidential candidate used the "straight talk" term several times during his hour and a half visit to J and L Steel Erectors in Hudson, where he met an almost-all-women audience that asked questions similar to a St. Paul town hall meeting three weeks earlier.

Neil Patrick Harris is gay – and wants to quell recent reports that he had denied it. The actor tells PEOPLE exclusively:
"The public eye has always been kind to me, and until recently I have been able to live a pretty normal life. Now it seems there is speculation and interest in my private life and relationships.
"So, rather than ignore those who choose to publish their opinions without actually talking to me, I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love."
Harris, 33, currently stars in the CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother. He shot to fame in 1989 at age 16 when he played a teen-prodigy doctor on the hit Doogie Howser, M.D. "It was a very fast but wonderful education," he told PEOPLE in 1998.
After the show went off the air in 1993, he shook off his teen image with roles in the musicals Rent and Assassins and a wild turn as an unhinged version himself in the 2004 movie Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.
"I'm enjoying my 30s," he told PEOPLE in 2004. "I feel like I know where I'm going. And I like where I'm going."

"Every time I mentioned Beverly Hills, Bob would go out and buy another piece of property here," Dolores would say, waving a hand to indicate the vast spread that the two of them inhabited in the San Fernando Valley's Toluca Lake starting in 1939.
Eventually the grounds surrounding their English-style manor swelled to 5.16 acres, and the family grew to include four children. The house grew, too, to 15,000 sq. ft., leaving Bob to joke that he needed a map just to find the way to his room.
But now, with Bob's death in 2003, at 100, and Dolores's, in 2011, at 102, their home is for sale. Asking price for what family friend Phyllis Diller liked to call "King Bob and Queen Dolores's Palace": $27.5 million.
Jim Bartsch
Mills, who shares the listing with Drew Fenton, president, estates division for Hilton & Hyland, likens the Hope property to "a private park" – one that includes Dolores's prized rose garden and Bob's one-hole golf course.
In and around the house, which shed its English look in the 1950s for a more contemporary design, are a hotel-caliber kitchen, Olympic-sized swimming pool, a two-suite guesthouse, indoor pool and whirlpool, and a sprawling living room where the Hopes entertained dignitaries of all stripe, from nearly every President to athletes and actors … namely, Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe.
With privacy an issue for any celebrity, a high fence and a security team kept out curiosity seekers – though at Christmas, while Bob was entertaining the troops overseas, Dolores would set up a religious tableau on the front lawn for passersby to enjoy, just as Halloween meant a generous disbursement of candy to kids from the surrounding blocks.
Jim Bartsch
Additionally, Dolores, a devout Catholic, would attend Mass in Bob's library – after which she and the other worshippers (family members and houseguests) would retreat to one of the two cocktail bars in the house, for a Sunday-night ritual Kathryn Crosby, widow of Bob's frequent costar Bing Crosby, affectionately described as "M&Ms … Mass and Martinis."
The announcement that the Toulca Lake compound is on the market comes on the heels of Friday and Saturday's auction of the Hopes' art, antiques and memorabilia and last February's news that the Hopes' 23,366-sq.-ft. Palm Springs home, designed in 1973 by the California Modernist architect John Lautner, was for sale for $50 million.
As for who might purchase the Toluca Lake property, Mills – who has reportedly handled home sales for Jennifer Aniston, Britney Spears, Lionel Richie, and Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale – points to the proximity of the Hollywood studios and Lakeside Country Club and tells PEOPLE: "I think it will appeal to a celebrity. You have to make a lot of money to be able to afford and maintain it, so it will have to be someone who truly wants this property and is a really big star."
Talk about a tough act to follow.

For steering business to a favored contractor, former Niagara Falls Building Commissioner Guy A. Bax received an expense-paid fishing trip, free golf outings, home repairs that included a remodeled bathroom, and driveway plowing.
But now these improper gratuities in 2009 could cost him his freedom and a hefty fine.
Bax, 66, pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court in Buffalo to accepting a gratuity concerning a program receiving federal funds.
He faces a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and a fine of up to $250,000. But given the circumstances, including his early cooperation, the sentencing guidelines call for a prison term of eight to 14 months, a fine of $2,000 to $20,000, and a period of supervised release of one to three years.
"Obviously, it's a serious charge," U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara told Bax during the court proceeding.
The federal prosecutor did not specify the overall value of the gratuities in court but later said it was not high.
"It's not a huge sum," said First Assistant U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy Jr. "I find it remarkable in these corruption cases the relative cheapness by which people may be purchased."
Bax did not comment after he left the courtroom. He remains free until his sentencing on May 10.
But Bax's lawyer said his client's promised cooperation and acceptance of responsibility are among the facts he will use to argue against incarceration.
"His early cooperation made this the best path for him to obtain closure," said defense lawyer Terrence M. Connors of Buffalo. "He feels terrible for his family and the city."
While not an excuse, "the gratuities were minimal," Connors said after the plea hearing.
Bax's plea stems from his friendship with John J. Gross Jr., a well known Falls plumbing and heating contractor and political insider who is currently serving 33 months in federal prison because of convictions on mail fraud and tax evasion.
The FBI has investigated Bax for more than three years and, as recently as last October, interviewed city employees about his relationship with Gross.
The plea agreement details how Bax steered business to Gross and his company, David Gross Contracting, from homeowners and companies seeking permits and approvals from Bax's city department.
"In promoting Gross and his company, Bax created a perception in those individuals and entities he encountered that it would be in their best interest to use Gross and his company and that if such individuals and entities did so, they would have an easier time obtaining the approvals they sought," according to 19-page plea agreement.
The agreement revealed the experience of a business person who bought property in the city intending to use the parcel for a commercial enterprise.
In late 2007, the business person met with Bax, who was then the acting building commissioner, to discuss the business plan.
To finish the project, "you have to know the right people," Bax told the business person, according to the plea agreement.
Bax suggested the business person hire Gross because Gross "knows the right people and he knows the inspectors," according to the plea.
Bax then told the person that other business people who were trying to get into the same industry failed to develop their projects because they were not using contractors who were "the right people," according to the agreement.
Bax provided the business person a list of contractors, but based on his comments, the business person understood that only by hiring Gross would the project would be completed, Kennedy said court.
The business person, unnamed in the plea agreement, hired Gross's company and paid between $25,000 and $30,000 for the work needed to operate the business, Kennedy said.
In another case, this one involving a residential property owner, Bax pressured the owner to hire Gross to do work needed before the city would issue a certificate of occupancy, according to the plea agreement.
In a meeting, Bax provided the property owner with the contact information for David Gross Contracting.
The property owner felt "Bax was very clear that he should hire Gross," Kennedy said.
Following the meeting with the property owner, as well as other meetings between Bax and other property owners, the inspections department would provide David Gross Contracting with a list of deficiencies needing to be addressed before the properties could pass inspections, according to the prosecutor.
Once the company received the department's letter for each property, a company employee would contact the property owner and arrange to make the repairs, according to the plea agreement.
"In this manner, Bax used his position to provide a competitive advantage to DGC," according to U.S. Attorney's Office.
Kennedy would not say how many other property owners and businesses Bax steered to the contracting company.
"Those were representative," Kennedy said of the two case in the plea agreement.
The agreement also calls for Bax to cooperate with the government regarding any and all other criminal activity related to fraud and public corruption, whether undertaken by him or others.
The cooperation includes submitting to interviews with government attorneys and agents as well as testifying before grand juries and at local, state and federal trials.
In exchange, Bax will not be prosecuted by federal prosecutors for any other federal criminal offenses involving fraud or public corruption, according to the plea agreement.
"As we have said in the past, this office intends to root out public corruption wherever it occurs," U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. said in a statement. "Every person or business is entitled to a level playing field when it comes to dealings with government officials. Public employees, for their part, may not illegally or personally benefit from their position. While instances of public corruption are fortunately rare in Western New York, such will be treated firmly and decisively when they come to our attention."

UCLA's win over USC at the Rose Bowl wasn't just a big deal in the Pac-12 South, but it also resonated with a number of recruits that were in attendance for the Crosstown Rivalry.
The Bruins' first win over USC since 2006 not only won the Pac-12 South, it also gave the Bruins' first-year coaching staff something to hang their hat on when recruiting against the Trojans in the Southland.
"It was the best game I've ever been to. I was happy to see UCLA beat USC," four-star defensive end Joe Mathis said. "All the commits there were trying to get me to commit and all that, like Kenneth Clark, Sean Dowling, and Craig Lee."
Los Angeles (Calif.) Crenshaw athlete Mossi Johnson grew up in the middle of the two schools, and the Bruin commit was confident before the game that UCLA would win.
"I was there at the Rose Bowl and I enjoyed it," said Johnson. "I already knew UCLA was going to win. The blue and gold is getting ready to take over the city."
Rialto (Calif.) Carter defensive tackle Kenneth Clark, another Bruin pledge, said the win confirmed that UCLA was the spot for him.
"The UCLA-USC game was a great experience," said Clark. "I can finally see that I'm coming in at a great time."
Gardena (Calif.) Serra is the alma mater of the vaunted USC receiving corps of Marqise Lee and Robert Woods. But a couple of junior prospects that UCLA has offered, cornerback Adoree Jackson and linebacker Dwight Williams, were impressed with the Bruins.
"The game was electrifying because it was local and both teams are basically the home team, so everything was in favor of the crowd," said Williams. "Man, UCLA came out explosive from the first turnover and it just carried on throughout the rest of the game and its crazy how a coaching staff can make that big of a difference in one year from 50-0 to a win."
Jackson also liked what he saw.
"That was my first time ever going to a UCLA game but it definitely won't be my last," Jackson said. "I'll be honest, I was shocked UCLA won, I didn't think they had a chance. USC came out flat and UCLA was fired up and ready to play, you could tell that right a way. It was crazy there. The fans were all hyped the whole game and the players were getting everyone involved. They had the 12th man going right there, it was a lot of fun to be a part of. UCLA was one of my first offers and I've always liked them but that win definitely moved them up my list a lot."
Breakup in Berkeley
After 11 years as the head coach at California, Jeff Tedford was fired on Tuesday, coming off a 3-9 season in Berkeley, his worst season ever with the Bears.
Cal had 13 known commitments in the class of 2013, ten of them coming from the Golden State.
Several of the commits reacted to the news, including quarterback commit Jared Goff from Kentfield (Calif.) Marin Catholic.
"I'm still 100% committed to Cal," said Goff. "I love Coach Tedford as a person and coach. But I'm looking forward to the future and what great coach they're going to bring in next."
Corona (Calif.) Centennial four-star offensive lineman Cameron Hunt, a Bear verbal since July, also weighed in.
"Cal has a lot of young talent and had to battle a ton of injuries this year. People don't know that but the whole defensive line was hurt at different times. I think Tedford could have turned things around next year but won't get that chance now. Hopefully the new coach will get things rolling and I'm just going to be patient and let things play out," said Hunt.
Receiver A.J. Richardson, who committed during the summer, said he's trying not to focus too much on the situation in Berkeley, with Harbor City (Calif.) Narbonne unbeaten and in the midst of a run to the state title, but he was disappointed to hear Tedford was fired.
"Coach Tedford was a great coach and I'm sorry to hear what happened," said Richardson. "But my main focus is to win a city championship and maybe more."
Pleasanton (Calif.) Foothill tight end Ray Hudson grew up not far from Berkeley, and long favored the hometown Bears, and when he was offered by Cal, he committed soon after. Hudson is in somewhat of a wait-and-see mode.
"I'm disappointed to see Coach Tedford leave, but I also love Cal," said Hudson. "I want to see who is brought in and what system will be run before I make future decisions. I am close with Jared Goff and the 2013 recruits and hope we all stick together."
Commitment Flips
A couple of West Coast prospects flipped their commitments from one school to another this week.
La Puente (Calif.) Bishop Amat receiver Darren Andrews had been a long time commit to Duke, but then UCLA offered earlier this month. Andrews ended up switching his commitment to UCLA over the weekend.
Shelton (Wash.) tight end David Ajamu committed to Oregon State during the summer, but like Andrews, when the local school offered, in Ajamu's case, Washington, it was just a matter of time, and Ajamu switched to the Huskies.
Scout 300 Commitment
Encino (Calif.) Crespi safety Tyler Foreman was the only Scout 300 prospect from the West to make his decision this week, the four-star committing to Wisconsin.
"I picked Wisconsin because of the camaraderie, the football coaches and the brotherhood of the players," said Foreman. "I know it's a long way from home, but its a good place to call home."
Foreman picked the Badgers from a final four that included Oklahoma, UCLA and Utah.
Steven Nelson- CB - College of Sequoias (Calif.)
A longtime commit to Georgia, Nelson decommitted last week, and appeared to be on the brink of committing to Oregon State. But on Monday, USC and Ole Miss offered Nelson, and he'll now take an official visit to both schools, including USC this weekend.

GOSHEN TOWNSHIP- A new sewer line project in Damascus could be in the works.
The township trustees Monday night granted permission for Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) representatives to evaluate and videotape operation of the storm sewers in Damascus at no cost. The video can then be used to determine the need for grant funding through the department.
The trustees elected to have the entire system videotaped so that they can then consult with a civil engineer to determine what areas to include in a possible project and the locations of smaller tied-in lines.
In other business the trustees discussed accepting full ownership of Lumberton Cemetery from Berlin Township. Currently the two townships split maintenance costs of the cemetery located on Western Reserve Road near state Route 534.
Trustee Chair Bob McCracken said that the county prosecutor's office approved the action, but that he is hesitant to moved forward since the township will incur increased maintenance costs but with no additional revenue since there are very few plots left to sell. He did suggest that the cemetery could be expanded in the future.
The trustees tabled the issue until a later date.
Police department seeking officers
Police Chief Steve McDaniel reported that the department is currently accepting applications for officers. Applications are available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the station, 14003 W. South Range Road (state Route 165), Salem; or online at www.goshenpd.com. Applicants must be 21 years old and OPOTA certified.
Additionally the trustees accepted the resignations of officer Daniel Moser effective Sept. 19 and Kevin Johnson effective Oct. 13; promoted reserve officer Nick Brent to part-time; and hired as reserve officers Daniel Breen, Anthony Pilolli and Mitchell Gobely.
Also at the meeting
- The trustees approved a one-year, fixed-rate contract for natural gas with IGS Energy at 59.9 cents per cubic foot.
- Fiscal Officer Tom Knoedler reported the tire drive in September netted 143 from passenger vehicles and trucks, 12 from semis and nine from tractors.
- Road Foreman Jim Stryffeler reported salt prices are locked in a $37.13 per ton this year, according to ODOT, approximately $15 less than last year.
- The Damascus Volunteer Fire Department will host an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday at the main station on state Route 534 in Damascus.
- The next regular trustees meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at the Administration Building.

This year, the Vikings threw out the playbook.
Well, not entirely, but head coach Chris Proctor did trim it down to the bare minimum.
And why shouldn't he?
The boys basketball team is, after all, stacked with 11 seniors. Nine of those guys were part of a football team that delivered South Tahoe's first winning season in nearly a decade. It was a season that proved the nine are plenty capable of calling plays and adjusting in pressure situations. So, if they have fewer plays to memorize this winter it's because they've earned it.
"This summer we just decided we're going to trim it down," Proctor said. "Our big thing is players make plays, plays don't make players."
The Vikings have some players this year. It's the same seniors who led the basketball team on an improbable playoff run two years ago, as sophomores. The same guys who gave up their summer to train at CrossFit. The same guys who have played together since fourth grade.
"This group has been together forever. We've been building up to this moment and we want to get it right this time," senior Brandon Cramer said.
No one is quite sure why the team didn't get it right last year. By all rights, the Vikings were shoe-ins for state. They were a year older, and it was the same team that made state as sophomores. But somehow they went 5-5 in league and 10-13 overall.
"I don't know if it was complacency or we just came up against some really good teams," Proctor said. "We went from playoffs, state and one overtime game away from being in the finals to not even making the playoffs."
This year, the seniors are determined to write a better final chapter to their high school basketball careers.
"I think now being a year and a half removed from that and they're hungry. I'd like to see them achieve their goal and see them have the success that they've been working for," Proctor said. "Probably every coach says that, but it just seems interesting when you've had it so easy and then you don't get it."
Cramer will be a key piece to getting the Vikings getting back to Vegas.
Last year, as a junior Cramer destroyed it on the court. He was second in points per game and overall points with 241.
"He's probably our best shooter from last year. He's also a good leader and a positive, vocal leader," Proctor said.
This should come as no big surprise, but another big leader for the Vikings this year will be former quarterback John Cefalu.
Cefalu's 2011 stats are up there too, but the senior brings more than numbers to the floor. He leads by examples and more than demonstrated his athletic intelligence during the football season.
"He's probably going to be our primary one guard and the general on the floor. He directs the tempo of the game," Proctor said. "From John, I expect that leadership mentality, controlling what's going on, on the floor, and giving me feedback on where things are going good and where we can use a change."
Speaking of change, Kyante Wilson has made some big ones since last season. The senior has stepped up big time.
"I've felt like he could do this for two or three years," Proctor said. "But I've definitely seen this year where he's got the ball, and I think he's just going to pass it, but he just takes it to the basket and that's it. That could happen every time."
Taking it to the basket is exactly the benefit of having a 6-foot-3 player with wide receiver speed on the team.
"Make or miss, I don't care. It's the mentality that hey I'm a senior leader, coach has given me the green light and I'm taking it to the hoop," Proctor said. "I think it was Michael Jordan who said, 'I missed every shot that I didn't take.'
Proctor's point being, Wilson is taking those shots this year. All the guys are. That's what happens when a team has 11 seniors who got a taste of state once.
"Sometimes in basketball your first five are much better than your second five, but all of the fives we have are really competitive with each other," Proctor said. "I know some coaches say this and they're making it up, but from 1 through 13 we don't have a huge change in talent."
Seniors Cale Backinger, Kris DiGrande, Hayden Bronken, Cody Higgins, Tyler Sharp, Roger Williams, Justin Espiritu and Jason Rogers round out this season's promising roster.
"Jason Rogers is another one. He gets the ball in a certain position you can tell he's feeling confident when he makes his move," Proctor said.
Juniors Dakoda Baca and Jared Fajman also make good additions to the team. Both juniors are confident, tough and fit seamlessly with the seniors.
Proctor remembers when Fajman was a freshman and the team traveled to a Jesuit tournament to play some big schools.
"He goes down there as a freshman and just takes it to these big seniors, breaks his nose, doesn't tell anyone, and stays in the game," Proctor said. "He comes over to me and says 'I'm fine coach. We'll take care of it after the game.' Right then and there I knew that was a tough kid."
Yes, the Vikings have been through it all together and their childhood chemistry is something that gives them strength.
"We're like brothers now. Knowing each other's strengths is definitely going to help," Wilson said. "We're more focused on just being the best right now. We're going to go out, get the ball, play some tough rebounds and everything else will fall into place."

Well, mark it down. I really don't I've ever seen a uglier game than this. I've seen ugly games, but they were so obviously fluky. You knew it was a good team having an awful night. This is not a good team, at all.
Couple years ago late in season lost 10-2 to blues at the Joe! A week later lost 8-0 to CBJ.

I recently received a review copy of the book, Shift Your Habit: Easy Ways to Save Money, Simplify Your Life, and Save the Planet. It will be available for sale on March 9. The author, Elizabeth Rogers, an environmental consultant, is also the co-author of the New York Times best seller, "The Green Book".
The book is packed with practical and easy ways to reduce your impact on the environment and save money at the same time. The book is organized into categories, such as home and garden, kids, pets, work, travel and transportation as well as holidays and celebrations. Each shift is explained in terms of what habit you can shift, how much money you can save, the impact to the planet and how it's good for you too. If you adopted all of the shifts in the book, an average family of four with a pet would save $48,000. That should make anyone sit up and take notice! The shifts that the author proposes are easy to do and inexpensive. It all adds up!
Since I am a cleaning fanatic, I was very excited to see the easy to use chart of homemade cleaners, including everything from glass and toilet cleaners to wood furniture polish and fabric softener. My copy of the book is already looking well-loved as I have picked it up numerous times to read and re-read sections as I continue to shift my own habits and paradigms. You can pre-order Shift Your Habit: Easy Ways to Save Money, Simplify Your Life, and Save the Planet today at Amazon.

Vajaculation is female ejaculation aka squirting. It occurs when a female expels fluid in a flood during an orgasm. It is also known as shejaculation. According to Kinkunveiled, vajaculation is definitely not pee as it contains chemicals which are never found in normal urine and so the vajaculate is definitely a unique substance.
She sat on a sybian until she soaked the carpet with a massive vajaculation.
