By Jim Lane
PITTSBURGH — Pat Shute has made so many baskets in three seasons at Bishop Guilfoyle High School that he ranks among the all-time leading point makers for the Marauders.
However, the most important bucket of his career came last night when he tossed in a short jumper at the final buzzer to give the Marauders a 67-66 upset overtime victory over Pittsburgh Canevin in the PCIAA Western Regional championship game at Pitt Field House.
The fantastic victory gives the Marauders a crack at the Catholic state championship. BG will face Shamokin Lourdes for the PCIAA "A'' title on Friday evening at the Cambria County War Memorial Arena in Johnstown.
Shamokin earned a berth in the title game with a 59-56 win over Scranton Prep in the Eastern Regional championship tilt last night in Pottsville.
Twice — once in regulation time and once in the extra session — Canevin appeared to have the game in the bag. But, the Marauders refused to concede and they came up with a couple of rallies that would have put one of Frank Merriwell's best to shame.
Sigrist Provides Spark
As he did in the Altoona-Johnstown Diocesan championship game against Bishop McCort, Tim Sigrist again provided the heroics for the Altoona kings. The Marauders were trailing by 61-57 with just 21 seconds left in regulation time and Canevin rooters were screaming "we're No. 1'' and it looked like they were.
However, Shute dribbled the length of the court and fired in a jumper to close the gap to 61-59. Then, with final seconds ticking away, Canevin committed an error and Sigrist jumped in to steal the ball at mid-court. The Marauder ace who is headed for Notre Dame on a football scholarship let fly a jumper with one second to go and it swished through the net as regulation time ended.
That set the stage for a hectic three-minute overtime period. Sigrist gave BG the lead with a deuce from the corner. Pete Prunzik, the Crusaders' brilliant guard, dropped in a pair of free throws to tie the count and moments later he tossed in a twisting layup to put the Pittsburgh Diocesan winners on top by 65-63 with 1:13 left.
Guilfoyle's John Sonefelt was fouled with a minute to go. He missed the first of a one-and-one situation, but Sigrist was there for a tap-in to tie the count.
Canevin, which took a 23-1 record into the game, decided to go for the last shot. They worked the ball for about 50 seconds and then Jack Burik, the other half of Canevin's fine backcourt duo, headed for the hoop. Bill Adams fouled him and prevented a shot.
Burik hit the first free throw, but missed the second. Dave Oliver, inserted into the Marauder lineup to give the Altoonans more rebounding strength, picked off the carom and the Marauders called for a timeout with five seconds showing on the clock.
Map Strategy
Coach Bill Gaffey and his Marauders mapped their strategy, but they had only five seconds to get the ball three-fourths the length of the court and into the hoop.
Adams took the ball out and tossed it to Sigrist, who received a pick from Sonefelt. Sigrist, a football quarterback, never made a better pass than the 35-footer he uncorked to Shute who was using Joe Landolfi as a pick underneath. Shute grabbed the ball to the right of the hoop, took two dribbles and tossed a seven-foot jumper.
The ball dropped cleanly through the net as the final buzzer sounded and the Marauders had their upset victory and a berth in the state finals. Canevin fans, Coach Ron Cygrymus and the Crusader players were stunned as they saw a sure victory slip through their fingertips.
From the fans' viewpoint, the game was terrific to watch. No less than 13 ties occurred and both teams played well despite the importance of the game. Guilfoyle, which had not played since Feb. 19, hit on 46 percent of its shots and Canevin connected on 45 percent.
Shute, who sat out about four minutes of the third and fourth periods with four personal fouls, led BG scorers with 19 points. Adams hit for 15 and Sigrist 12. For Canevin, Prunzik netted 23 and Burik 16. Burik, like Shute, had foul difficulties and both teams were forced to play without their key players for awhile.
The Field House has long been a graveyard for Altoona area teams, but Guilfoyle found the court to its liking. Shute and Adams hit early and that seemed to give the rest of the squad confidence. At the same time, the backcourt duo of Prunzik and Burik kept Canevin in the heat of things.
Lead by 7
Guilfoyle led by 16-15 at the close of the first period. The Marauders twice led by seven (24-17) and (26-19) late in the second quarter and it looked like they were going to pull away. However, the Crusaders bounced back to trail by just 28-25 at the half.
With 2:20 left in the third period. Shute picked up his fourth personal. Gaffey put him on the bench with the Marauders holding a five-point lead (41-36). With Shute on the sidelines Canevin came back to knot the score at 44-all after three quarters.
Bob Eger dumped in one from the key to put BG back on top at the outset of the fourth period, but Canevin surged ahead on three free throws, one by Bill Carr and two by Prunzik. The lead see-sawed back and forth and Guilfoyle took the upper hand, 55-53, on a rebound shot by Sonefelt with 3:56 to go.
Buckets by Burik and Tom Pipich shot the Crusaders back on top, but a tap-in by Landolfi evened things with 2:51 left. The Marauders regained possession on a bad pass with 2:40 to play and they began to hold the ball when Canevin dropped into a zone.
Shute was fouled with 1:25 left, but he missed. Moments later Prunzik put his team ahead with a fine drive. Sonefelt missed a jumper, Canevin got the ball with 48 seconds to play and it looked bleak for Guilfoyle.
The Crusaders played with the ball until Prunzik was fouled with 21 seconds left. He hit both of them and it looked like the Marauder cause was hopeless.
Then came the bucket by Shute, followed by Sigrist's steal and tying fielder at the buzzer and the fantastic overtime finish.
Canevin led in rebounds, 38-33. Carr grabbed 13 for the losers while Landolfi (12) and Sonefelt (7) were high for Guilfoyle. The Marauders made one more turnover, 14-13, but Canevin cashed them in for just 9 points while Guilfoyle took advantage for 13.

text: Home > Fitness > News 30 November 2012 Even women who exercise sit too much For women who love that great, self-satisfied feeling after a workout, a new study could be a disappointing surprise. Regular exercise, the study found, does not reduce the risk of an otherwise sedentary lifestyle. 0 10 minute bikini-ready workout Why you need strength to run For women who love that great, self-satisfied feeling after a workout, a new study could be a disappointing surprise. Regular exercise, the study found, does not reduce the risk of an otherwise sedentary lifestyle. Women who exercise regularly actually spend as much time sitting down as those who don't get much exercise, and thus may be susceptible to a greater risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and premature death, the study revealed. "We spend the vast majority of our time not exercising," said Lynette Craft, lead author of the study and an adjunct assistant professor of preventive medicine at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, in Chicago. "It's important to think about how you spend your entire day and what you're doing in your non-exercise time." Sitting tied to chronic health issues Several previous studies have shown that men and women who sit for long periods of time -- even those who routinely exercise -- are more likely to develop chronic health conditions. The new study objectively measured sedentary or sitting time and compared it to the amount of sustained moderate or vigorous activity that people get, rather than relying only on self-reported surveys. This study, published recently in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, set out to learn whether people who exceed the federal government's current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans -- getting at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity a week -- are less sedentary than are those who don't meet the guidelines. Researchers wondered if there could be an unheralded but valuable benefit to what they call incidental low-intensity physical activity, which might add up incrementally during the day. Such small activity spurts might include walking a few blocks for a sandwich on a lunch break, taking the stairs instead of the elevator or pushing a child on a swing at the park. For the study, 91 healthy women between 40 and 75 years old wore activity monitors designed to capture periods of sitting, standing and walking, and bouts of moderate and vigorous activity, over seven days. None of the women participating in the study had a personal history of heart disease, stroke, cancer or diabetes, or a physical condition that limited their physical-activity level. They wore the devices for at least 10 hours a day. Although study participants spent an average of 146 minutes in moderate or vigorous activity a week, they still spent the majority of their waking hours (63%) sitting. Time involved in sustained exercise took up only a small fraction of time every day (about 2%). "We now sit even longer than we sleep," Craft said. "Often you don't realize how much time you spending sitting every day." 'Move all day' Craft said she doesn't want to play down the value of exercise, but people need to do more all day long. "Even if you're exercising regularly, you still have an elevated risk compared to non-sitters," she explained. Some experts think we've gradually engineered physical activity out of our daily lives. "Humans are by nature sedentary. It's not that suddenly people have become lazy and stupid," said Dr. Toni Yancey, professor of health policy and management in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles. "What's changed very much is our environment." Yancey said society doesn't force people to move. "We commute for long periods, sitting," she said. "Even at the workplace, we use email instead of getting up to talk with a person. We don't shop; we order things over the Internet." Craft recommends that people grab every opportunity to stand up, walk and move during the day. "Set a timer so once an hour you'll get up," she suggested. "Stand up when you're on the phone. Get up during commercial breaks when you're watching television. Stand while you're folding the laundry." The study was limited to women only and was not designed to determine a cause-and-effect relationship between sitting time and time spent in sustained moderate to vigorous activity.

Envoys from Nato member states will meet on Tuesday after Turkey requested consultations over the downing of its military jet by Syria, a Nato spokeswoman said on Sunday.
"Turkey has requested consultations under Article 4 of Nato's founding Washington Treaty. Under Article 4, any ally can request consultations whenever, in the opinion of any of them, their territorial integrity, political independence or security is threatened," Oana Lungescu said.
"The NAC (North Atlantic Council) will meet on Tuesday at Turkey's request. We expect Turkey to make a presentation on the recent incident."
Meanwhile, in Ankara, state television said Turkey has called for an extraordinary Nato meeting over the downing of its plane by Syria in international airspace.
TRT television reported Sunday that Turkey has sought the Nato meeting for Tuesday.
Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told State TV that Turkey would seek the meeting over Article 4 of the NATO charter concerning Friday's incident.
The article says member countries "will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the parties is threatened."
Davutoglu said Sunday that the jet was downed in international airspace after it mistakenly entered Syria, but the plane was not on a spying mission.

Andy Dalton and A.J. Green have led the Cincinnati Bengals to a bounceback season as first-year players. What other rookie duos have taken the league by storm over the past 10 seasons?
For the purposes of this list, "duos" means players that actually played together, not just two great rookies that happened to be on the same team.
As a quarterback and wide receiver, Dalton and Green are a perfect example. Those two have been part of a recent trend of offensive rookie teammates getting off to great starts in the NFL.
Prior to 2007, most of the high-impact rookie tandems showed up on the defensive side of the ball.

Hard Drive Guide - Selecting the correct hard drive
Over a decade ago, upgrading a laptop's hard disk drive (HDD) used to be a daunting and difficult task. It took a good amount of knowledge as far as which screws to remove and which plastic parts to pry off, oftentimes the keyboard would have to be "popped out" too just to access the laptop's hard drive. There was a quagmire of flex cables and wires to deal with. Once you were done exchanging the hard drives, it was an even more difficult putting the laptop back together again. Everything just did not fit right when everything was said and done. Ten years ago, it was better to leave the "hard drive upgrading" up to the professionals.
Today, upgrading a laptop's hard drive is so much simpler. Most laptops today can be upgraded as a DIY project. Most laptops have its hard drives in a hard drive carrier (also known as a notebook hard drive caddie or notebook hard drive caddy or notebook hard drive tray).
With the hard drive inside a hard drive caddy, users can easily remove or re-insert the hard drive into the notebook. (photo below illustrates hard drive caddys being inserted into an IBM ThinkPad's primary drive bay and 2nd drive bay)
There are also some laptops/notebooks that have the capability of adding a second hard drive without having to remove the optical drive. The HP Pavilion dv8000 series notebooks, dv9000 series notebooks and the Dell Inspiron 1720 have dual-drive bays (two hard drive bays). These notebooks normally ship with one hard drive installed and have an empty hard drive bay to add another bare hard drive. All that is needed to add another hard drive is a hard drive caddy. For purposes of this discussion, we will refer to a hard drive without a drive caddy/drive tray as a "bare hard drive".
Size of Laptop Hard Drive (not capacity)
There are two common sizes for bare hard drives are 2.5" and 1.8". The size refers to the actual size of the platter (disk) used in the hard drive. Most laptops will use a 2.5" hard drive. Some of the smaller laptops, also known as sub-notebooks, use 1.8" hard drives. Please check before you buy. You can find hard drive size requirements for your laptop at www.newmodeUS.com.
Height of Laptop Hard Drive
Most 2.5" bare hard drives are 9.5mm or 8.5mm in height. Years back, 2.5" hard drives were manufactured in 19mm, 17mm and 12.5mm. As long as the 2.5" bare hard drive you are purchasing is 9.5mm or below, you should be in great shape.
2.5" hard drives range in capacities from 40GB to 320GB. 1.8" hard drives are available in 20, 40 and 60GB. We will not discuss what capacity of hard drive you should purchase. Only you, the user, knows what your size requirements are for now and for the future. Please note that 2.5" hard drives and 1.8" hard drives are not interchangeable.
Interface (SATA or PATA)
2.5" hard drives are available with two kinds of interfaces: PATA (Parallel ATA) or SATA (Serial ATA). SATA drives are fairly new in the market. External dimensions for both PATA and SATA are fairly the same. The way to distinguish between the two is by looking at the connector/interface. PATA drives have two rows of pins. SATA drives have a "card edge" connector (see photo below). It's only in 2007 that we started seeing laptops/notebooks shipped with SATA hard drives as the primary drive. Prior to 2007, notebooks/laptops were shipping with PATA hard drives as primary hard drives. Make certain before you buy your hard drive what type of hard drive your laptop/notebook uses. PATA and SATA hard drives are not interchangeable.
You will also come across different naming conventions for PATA and SATA drives. Manufacturers and resellers don't refer to them as a "PATA hard drive" or a "SATA hard drive". Oftentimes, you will see them listed as "ATA-6", "ATA-7", "SATA 1.5", etc. Please refer to the chart below to get a better understanding of what type of drive you will be requiring.
Upgrading a Laptop's Hard Drive
Most of the time, all you will need is a small screwdriver. There are two ways you can go about this.
a) You can buy a bare hard drive and replace the old hard drive in the caddy with the new one.
b) You can buy a bare hard drive and hard drive caddy and assemble it together to make a completely separate removable hard drive for your notebook.
The advantage of going with option "b" is you will have second removable hard drive for your laptop. You can keep the old one in your file drawer as a backup and use the new one as the main drive. If anything happens to your main drive, you can always pull out your old hard drive and have your laptop back again running within minutes.
NOTE: If your laptop has a "Secondary Hard Drive Bay" (also known as "multibay" or "slimselect bay") and if there is a "Secondary Hard Drive Bay Caddy" available for your laptop, you can use your old hard drive as a second hard drive for your laptop.

Boeing Co. won the long war to build a new fleet of refueling tankers for the U.S. Air Force.
Now, a handful of states are battling to play host to the new planes.
The Air Force recently announced a list of nine finalists that will compete to host two tanker operating centers and a tanker training headquarters.
The four candidates for the first active duty main operating base are Altus AFB in Oklahoma, Fairchild AFB in Washington, Grand Forks AFB in North Dakota, and McConnell AFB in Kansas.
McConnell and Altus will also compete to host the tanker training unit, the Air Force said.
The five candidates for the first Air National Guard operating base are Forbes Air Guard Station in Kansas, McGuire-Dix Joint Base in New Jersey, Pease Air Guard Station in New Hampshire, Pittsburgh International Airport Air Guard Station in Pennsylvania, and Rickenbacker Air Guard Station in Ohio.
The Air Force said it expects to announce its selections this spring.
"We are committed to executing a deliberate, repeatable and standardized basing process," said Kathleen Ferguson, Air Force principal deputy assistant secretary for installations, environment and logistics. "In this process, the Air Force uses criteria-based analysis and military judgment in its decision making."
Chicago-based Boeing won the tanker contract in 2011, defeating a bid by the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co. to begin replacing the Air Force's aging fleet of more than 400 KC-135 refueling jets.
EADS, the parent company of Airbus, had proposed to assemble its tankers in a new plant at Mobile's Brookley Aeroplex if its bid was successful. Boeing initially proposed to assemble its planes in Everett, Wash., and Wichita, Kan., but later dropped plans to perform any of the assembly work in Kansas.
The initial $4.9 billion contract calls for Boeing to deliver the first 18 tankers to the Air Force by Sept. 30, 2017, with a total of 179 delivered by 2028.
Politics loomed large in the tanker battle between Boeing and EADS, and political leaders from the nine competing sites were quick to tout their home states.
"This is a big step in the right direction," said U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. "Fairchild has been a historic part of our nation's aerial refueling effort and is well positioned to achieve global-level reach to the emerging Asia-Pacific Theater."
In Kansas, where the tanker base could soften the blow of losing the tanker assembly work, elected officials touted the state's history of supporting the Air Force.
"Strategically positioned in the heart of the United States, the location, capacity and mission of McConnell and Forbes make both bases exceptionally equipped to provide air mobility globally at a moment's notice," said U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kansas.
Others expressed disappointment at being left off the Air Force's list of finalist sites.
U.S. Rep. Bill Young, R-Fla., said MacDill Air Force Base should have been in the running. Young said he'd received assurances - but no commitment - from Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh that MacDill was a good fit for the tanker program.
"I told Gen. Welsh that I felt like I had been misled over these many years as we developed this program," Young told the Air Force Times.

Titan's atmosphere where the major compound is nitrogen presents a noticeable amount of methane. At high altitudes, the photo-dissociation of CH4 coupled to the dissociation of nitrogen leads to the production of numerous saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Polyynes (with formula C2nH2, n>1) and cyanopolyynes (with formula HC2n+1N, n>1) are of special interest since they are predicted by photochemical models to be one of the main link between the gas phase and the solid phase visible as high altitude haze. Since several years we have conducted in our laboratory systematic spectroscopic studies of organic compounds in the infrared and ultraviolet wavelength range. Those studies include the determination of band positions and absolute intensities for organic compounds likely to be present in Titan's atmosphere. The data obtained in physical conditions representative of the studied environment are essential to allow the detection and abundance determination from observations. Those data can also help for the development of photochemical models. For the first time, cyanodiacetylene (HC5N) has been synthesised using classical organic chemistry. We will present our latest experimental results obtained on the determination of HC5N absolute absorption coefficients. In the UV range, synchrotron radiation has been used in order to determine the absolute cross section from 80 to 200 nm, at several and especially low temperatures. In the infrared, the absolute band intensities have been measured for the fundamental most intense vibrational modes. The results will be compared with theoretical predictions. Finally, the implication of those spectroscopic results for the interpretation of Cassini observations obtained by ultraviolet (UVIS) and infrared (CIRS) spectrometers will be discussed.

Strictly defined blizzard conditions are met when sustained winds reach 35 MPH or greater, with visibilities less than a quarter of a mile, for at least three hours. According to the National Weather Service, this weekend's storm did just that.
New information released on Monday confirms that the weekend snowstorm was in fact a blizzard. Worcester logged 8 hours of blizzard conditions, while Norwood notched blizzard condition for 7.5 hours.
Bedford and Falmouth both experienced blizzard conditions for 4.5 hours.
In Marshfield blizzard conditions were observed for 2.5 hours before a power outage at the height of the storm. At the same time, Boston hit blizzard conditions for 2 consecutive hours, and for 4 of 6 total consecutive hours overall at the height of the storm. As a result, the National Weather Service will classify both sites as having met blizzard criteria.
Beverly and Plymouth both lost data at the height of the storm, so while blizzard conditions cannot be confirmed, it is likely that a blizzard also occurred at both sites.

NEW YORK -- While holiday shoppers rush around the city, genuine bargains are wasting away right in the middle of Times Square: Plenty of Broadway shows are willing to sell seats at discount prices to those who take the trouble to ask.
Whether they're bouncing back from last month's stagehands' strike or getting ready to weather the post-holiday blues, most Broadway attractions have tickets available for considerably less than the going price of $100-$110. The deals will become even more generous after the holidays.
Cut-rate tickets to many shows began to appear in the days following the strike's settlement on Nov. 28, as enticements to draw crowds back to the theater. All seats for the first performance of "Chicago" went for $26.50. "The Color Purple" re-priced its entire mezzanine section to $26.50 through Dec. 7. Since "Rent" reopened, a $110 seat sells for $65 for nearly every show, through Sunday.
"The strike was a ditch in the road, and we're getting over it," said "Chicago" producer Barry Weissler, whose long-running musical offers many $111.50 seats for $66.50. "The more you discount, the less is in your coffers, but it's endemic to discounts that you'll get more people to come."
Four well-reviewed productions, which bowed in the week following the 19-day strike, are still trying to regain box office traction and are playing to half-full houses. Top ticket prices for "August: Osage County," "The Farnsworth Invention," "The Seafarer" and "Is He Dead?" have been marked down by as much as one-third for certain performances. Such offers are made through various Internet discount services, like BroadwayBox.com and BroadwayWorld.com. (Only a few hits, like "Jersey Boys" and "Young Frankenstein," can command top dollar.)
Producer Jeffrey Richards has even developed a subscription deal with his associate impresarios for a trio of new plays. Richards is the lead producer for "August: Osage County"; a revival of "The Homecoming," which opened yesterday; and a David Mamet comedy, "November," which starts previews on Thursday.
Rather than paying $99.50 for orchestra or front mezzanine locations for those productions, play-goers can purchase prime seats to all three for $199 -- in effect, buying two shows, but getting the third for next to nothing. During the offer's first week, 200 subscriptions were sold, which the producer called "genuinely responsive."
"Theater seats are like airline tickets," Richards observed. "Once a plane takes off, it's gone. Once a show starts, every seat you didn't sell is lost. So we are trying to find different ways to maximize what we have."
In recent weeks, the League of American Theatres and Producers, for the first time, invested close to $400,000 in newspaper, radio and billboard ads telling potential customers that Broadway was back in business.
"Our members lost ground in selling advance tickets to their shows during the strike," League executive director Charlotte St. Martin explained. "November was a big time for people to buy tickets as holiday gifts."
The League's partners, such as the marketing and tourism firm NYC & Company, also bolstered ticket sales with a just-concluded week's worth of radio ads. What's more, the League's Web site (Ilovenytheater.com) has begun spreading the word on ticket bargains.
"We've never before pulled together these discounts," says St. Martin of the site's new feature. "Producers mostly prefer to individually market their discounts."
Because the week between Christmas and New Year's is traditionally Broadway's most lucrative period, playgoers are unlikely to land bargains during that time. But come January, when tourists vanish and holiday bills hit wallets, expect Broadway to seduce customers with even sweeter deals.
Kicking off Jan. 6, the seventh annual "Season of Savings" campaign, sponsored by the Broadway community, distributes 1.5 million inserts to New York City area newspapers, including The Star-Ledger. These contain discount vouchers ranging from 30 to 55 percent off most Broadway attractions through March.
Favorites such as "The Lion King" are advertising a buy-one/get-one-free promotion for 10 performances during January-March, although Disney management spins the deal as a "thank you" token for the musical's 10th birthday. Once Fantasia departs "The Color Purple" in January, certain orchestra and front mezzanine seats drop to $59 and $49, respectively.
Much of the upcoming discount activity is designed to ward off a traditional post-Christmas slump in business. According to League statistics, Christmas week last year saw theaters operating at 94.4 percent capacity, only to sag to 72.2 percent by Feb. 11. The fall-off would likely be even more drastic had the League and individual producers not devised other booster programs, such as Kids' Night on Broadway.
A buy-one/get-one deal for adults and youngsters during four evenings in February, Kids' Night offers restaurant and parking discounts and activities, such as pre-curtain parties at Madame Tussaud's. Although sales for the 2008 Kids' Night have closed, some shows, like "Avenue Q" and "The Phantom of the Opera," still have tickets for those performances.
Theatergoers willing to nab same-day seats can still obtain half-price tickets to many shows by waiting in line at the Theatre Development Funds' TKTS booth.
"January and February are always a difficult time for the theater here," said Weissler, ticking off a list of reasons (weather, sports events) for the drop in attendance. "I don't see a lot of difference between business now and how things went 25 years ago except we know more about how to get people into seats."

Fire destroys McKean Township pole barn
WATERFORD -- Fire destroyed a pole barn Friday afternoon on the property of a residence at 2007 Helen Lane in McKean Township.
Several volunteer fire companies responded to the blaze just after 4 p.m.
Nobody at the residence was injured, but one firefighter from Kuhl Hose Co. suffered a minor shoulder injury when he fell and was taken to UPMC Hamot, Stancliff Assistant Chief Harry Latta said.
Fire crews arrived to find the barn fully involved, Stancliff Hose Co. Chief Chris Barber said.
When crews arrived, fire had engulfed a tool room in the barn, Latta said. Flames quickly spread to two other areas in the barn.
Several propane tanks inside the barn exploded, Latta said.
It took fire crews about an hour and 10 minutes to bring the blaze under control, Barber said.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation. Fire crews were at the scene until 9 p.m.

After U.N. Vote, Israel Pushes Settlements in East Jerusalem
The Israeli government approved late last night construction of housing units in the E1 quarter of East Jerusalem, a controversial part of the city. According to an Israel official, a decision was made to go ahead with "preliminary zoning and planning preparations for buildings that would connect the Jewish settlement of Maale Adumin to Jerusalem, blocking access to Palestinian neighborhoods of the city from the Palestinian towns of Ramallah and Bethlehem. Plans for another 3,000 homes in the West Bank and other parts of East Jerusalem were also approved. The decision came after a vote by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to upgrade the status of Palestine from "permanent observer entity" to "non-member state." While Israel hasn't commented on the construction plans, they are widely seen as retribution for the implied recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state by the international community. Jewish settlements in E1 are a major obstacle to negotiating a two-state solution, and have been strongly opposed by the U.S. government. President Barack Obama called in 2009 for a freeze in the expansion of settlements. The White House condemned the decision today.
Obama's Fiscal Cliff Road Show Leaves Republicans Seething
U.S. President Barack Obama went on a tour of the country to present his proposals for a fiscal plan that would prevent $607 billion in tax increases and spending cuts from being triggered on January 1st, 2013, the so-called fiscal cliff. The tour, which began as Speaker of the House Republican John Boehner said the negotiations on the fiscal cliff were "almost nowhere," infuriated the Republicans, who accused Obama of trying to instill fear among U.S. citizens and put the blame on the GOP. Obama, speaking at a toy factory in Pennsylvania, said that should Republicans let tax cuts expire for incomes of under $250,000, they would be delivering a "lump of coal" for the middle class. The White House plan includes both spending cuts and tax increases, though the GOP's opposition to the latter has been steadfast. Cracks are beginning to form, however, as some Republicans, led by polls to believe the public would blame their party should the nation hit the fiscal cliff, voiced desire to show some flexibility and agree to tax increases for the wealthiest Americans. Economists believe the fiscal cliff could sink the nation into another recession.
German Parliament Approves Greek Bailout
The Bundestag, Germany's parliament, voted today to approve a bailout package for Greece. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble quelled criticism by warning lawmakers a collapse of Greece could spark an explosion of the euro area. "The potential effects of a Greek default on other euro states would be grave — in truth the consequences would be unpredictable," Schäuble said. "It could trigger a process at the end of which the entire euro area could break apart." German leaders have resisted calls to rescue Greece by forgiving part of its debt. The accord struck in Brussels on Monday was received with relief as finance ministers of the Eurozone extended the deadline for Greece to reach its deficit target by two years and excluded a debt write-off, which some experts believe is unfeasible if Greece is to reach its goal.
Syrian Rebel Films Himself Shooting at 10 Unarmed Prisoners
A video posted on YouTube yesterday may have been filmed by a Syrian rebel with a camera attached to the barrel of his gun as he shoots at 10 prisoners. The footage shows 10 men in t-shirts and camouflage trousers lying face down. One of them speaks, saying "I swear to God that we are peaceful," before the shooting begins. The rebel then says "God is great. Jabhat al-Nusra," in reference to the Al Nusra group, which is affiliated to Al Qaeda and has claimed several suicide bombings around Syria. Media companies and Human Rights organizations are trying to confirm the veracity of the video, but comments accompanying it say it was filmed in a town near the Turkish border, Ras al-Ain. The 20-month uprising has already claimed the lives of 40,000 people.
Giant Tortoises Back in the Galápagos
It may not all be lost for giant turtles in the Galápagos. While Lonesome George, the last of the Pinta Island Tortoises, died last June, some of his close cousins from Española Island have been rescued from extinction. Endangered by pirates and whalers who ate their meat (often treated as a delicacy) and the introduction of animals, like goats, that destroyed their habitat, 14 of them were taken away in 1971 and allowed to breed in captivity. Babies were hand-reared until age four. About 1,700 animals were reintroduced on Española Island, after goats were removed. Concerns remained that they would be able to breed in the wild and survive. Since all of them were born of the same 15 animals, consanguinity was a problem. In 2007, however, researchers found about a quarter of the tortoises inhabiting the island were natives. "The habitat is restored, the species is thriving and the animals are breeding happily," said Michel Milinkovitch, of the University of Geneva. "We can now safely say that the species is saved."

The dichotomy of seeking recognition and fame, while simultaneously running from it as fast as possible, has permeated Akron, Ohio, rocker Brian Lisik's work since his days as founder and front man of the self-proclaimed "slop rock" band The Giants of Science in the late 1990s.
A psychologist would likely have a field day dissecting what fears, insecurities or simple dissatisfaction with life that may mask, but all we have as sure evidence is two blistering Giants of Science EPs ("Hang Ups and All" and "A Minor Disturbance"); two more albums of the solo variety (2004's "Baggage" and 2006's "Happiness Is Boring"); and now Lisik's new offering, "The Mess That Money Could Buy" (released September 2012 via Lisik's own Cherokee Queen Records).
It would be tempting to chalk up the cheeky title of Lisik's latest disc, and the six-year span between it and its predecessor, to that aforementioned artistic dichotomy. But the singer himself disagrees.

"No, I actually wasn't trying to take nearly a decade to make a record," Lisik said. "We actually had 90 percent of it done in about six months.
"Then we began the process of trying to make it sound good, which was probably a mistake. In the end though, it does sound really good. It just took us forever to finish and annoyed quite a few studio engineers along the way."
While "Mess" is alternately balls-out rocking ("Small Town Royal Family" "Five Other Rooms," "A Mess"), surprisingly tender ("Nights In Shining Amore," "Last Words") and mightily frustrating to pop music perfectionists (check the botched count-off on "I'm Satisfied"), it is ultimately real which is all Lisik was looking for.
"I've been at this a while, both as a performer and someone who has analyzed and written a lot about performers," he said. "And in the end, forming some sort of bond or communion with an audience is really what it's all about. Minus that, it doesn't really matter how much time or money you spent or didn't spend on your piece of art. All those things help when it comes to getting people to know you exist, but if it isn't genuine, your piece of art is basically a piece of something else."
In a recent Facebook post of a video filmed at a Canton, Ohio, venue more resembling a loading dock than a nightclub, Lisik commented about his performance, saying, "'Passenger Side' [is a] A Wilco classic about being drunk. I messed up most of the chords. I was sober."
The irony of the posting is that the largely unappreciative crowd is treated to one of the most appropriately fragile-yet-defiant versions of the song this side of Jeff Tweedy himself.
"I don't really set out to be a screw-up," Lisik said. "It just seems very natural for me sometimes."
That supreme, yet genuinely self-deprecating confidence is rare in artists. "I basically live with creative people, but I find most 'artists' to be insufferably boorish and self centered," said Lisik. "I am too, mind you, but I don't have to talk to myself if I don't want to."
Brian Lisik will perform at 8 p.m. March 22 at Kimball's Pub, 972 Second St.

Recently, as I was minding my own business washing up while Dumbo clambered on my shoulders, she decided to jump with the intention of landing on the windowsill. She missed by a foot and landed in a washing up bowl filled to the brim with soapy water. I shouldn't have laughed, but it really was hilarious. She looked like a "drowned rat" (ha, ha) wearing an extra coat of fluffy, white foam — and not too impressed by it either.
What I find interesting, though, is the huge differences in personality from one rat to the next. When I kept a lot of hamsters, their personalities didn't differ too greatly. Some would be more docile than others, but that was it really. Rats, on the other hand, really come into their own as they grow up. Whereas Dumbo is a big, chubby coward, Mouse is a brave little explorer. She is the Indiana Jones of the rat world.
Yesterday, for the first time, I let Mouse run around with Dumbo on the living room floor. They are so cute when they get overexcited, bouncing about and dashing around like the world is their playground. Despite the fact that Dumbo has run miles in the living room, it always seems new to her. The cutest thing she does is when I pick her up and turn her on her back to tickle her belly. As soon as she gets up, she chases after me. She runs around in circles if I run around in circles. If I retreat to the sofa, she hops up there with me, yanking on my clothes with her teeth and clambering all over my laptop. This is something Mouse picked up on very quickly. The best way to get my attention is to scuttle across my keyboard, because, you know, it's not like I have work to do!
But it's impossible to ignore them, and at times they are far more interesting than getting an English Literature degree. It's sad to say really, but Dumbo seems to be everyone's favorite. She is affectionate and sweet, and her claws aren't as sharp as Mouse's. Mouse can't help it though — she's just a baby! She is only anti-social because she is so eager to explore the world. I feel bad for little Mousey. I hope it doesn't give her a complex.
P.S. Thank you all for the lovely comments to those who left them on my previous blogs!

Conceptions of "the oriental" in law and the administration of justice
Papers in this panel will discuss the construction of conceptions of "the oriental" and the ways in which such conceptions impacted upon the law and the administration of justice by European or other colonial authorities in South East Asia and other parts of Asia. In particular, was there a link between harsh penalties and particular constructions of subject peoples as "unruly" and "lacking discipline", between more sympathetic regimes and subject peoples seen to be "law-abiding"? How far did the observation of the colonial subject as "cunning", "litigious", or "quiet", for instance, influence the way in which justice was administered? Was there a relationship between restraint in imposing foreign law and a pre-colonial legal tradition which was recognised by the coloniser? Papers on the administration of justice as a site for the observation and reporting of "the oriental" are also welcomed.

Happy Thanksgiving — Our Thanksgiving MessageJohn Cave Osborne
Well, friends, tomorrow's the big day. Thanksgiving. It's my very favorite holiday and I think it's because Thanksgiving has somehow managed to maintain its integrity in an age when most special days are commercialized to the point of caricature. Uniquely unadulterated, Thanksgiving has never kowtowed to Hallmark executives or any other entity for that matter.
Nope. With Thanksgiving, what you see is what you get. Simply a day dedicated to giving thanks for our many blessings. Big things. Little things. Important things. Silly things. In honor of tomorrow's holiday, we thought we'd get the ball rolling by telling you, our readers, some of the things for which we're thankful.
Margaret Wheeler Johnson, editor extraordinaire: After a scare a friend's family is going through, I'm thankful for health. I feel so lucky that even though I'm 28 and spend Thanksgiving a thousand miles from my parents, I'm as close to them as ever — see you at Christmas, Mom and Dad! I'm grateful to know the post-turkey coma is all in my mind—thanks, Heather. And I'm so thankful for the community I've found at Babble and Strollerderby.
Joe, our social media guru: I'm thankful that both my grandmas are still celebrating Thanksgiving with their families in the year 2010. I'm thankful that three Thanksgiving football games are being televised in New York this year. I'm thankful that my dad will have a deluxe wine list, and that I'll take home enough leftovers to eat for several weeks.
Danielle: I am grateful for the day-in and day-out safety of my husband while he volunteers his time to keep the public safe. I am thankful for my children for teaching me to live life to the fullset. I am thankful for our surprise baby #3 who has already changed our lives in so many ways. I am thankful for my parents and family for being such a large and amazing support system.
Sierra Black: I'm grateful for the sunshine, the clean water, the fertile earth and the wind. I'm grateful for all the many hands that work to bring every meal to my table, from the migrant farm workers picking vegetables in California to my kids setting the table. I'm thankful for my healthy, happy, whole family , and for the time we have all together at Thanksgiving.
Paula Bernstein: I'm thankful for my health, my beautiful family and for the fact that I get to do what I love for a living! I'm also thankful that I live in a country where I am free to express my (wildly unpopular) opinions. Most of all, I'm thankful that I didn't burn down the house while baking my Thanksgiving Pies.
Sandy Maple: I am thankful for the love, support and continued good health of my extended family. I am thankful for my husband, who puts up with my extended family without complaining (much). I am thankful for my sweet little dog and my grumpy little cat. Most of all, I am thankful for my children, who fill me up with love and light. I am truly blessed.
Heather Turgeon: I'm thankful for my sweet, goofy, handsome and loving husband and my amazing curly-mopped child; I'm thankful for skype and frequent flier miles that keep my parents close even though they live 3,000 miles away; I'm thankful for my parents' rock-star health; and I'm thankful to the Babble editors and community for being so much fun to work with – and loving the science.
Carolyn Castiglia: I'm thankful for this job at Babble, which has brought me greater financial independence and stability and a new writing challenge each and every day! I'm thankful to have such a brilliant and beautiful child who inspires me with her every move. I'm so thankful for my mother, who helped me find God and hope again. I'm thankful for everyone who is brave enough to tell the truth and stand up for what they believe in. I'm thankful for all of my friends and fellow comedians who make my life the joy that it is, and to everyone who has told me they appreciate what I do. I would be remiss if I didn't thank my enablers: wine and nachos. You're there when no one else is, mostly because I prefer to get drunk and gorge alone.
And me?: I'm thankful that I'm not there to see Carolyn's wine and nacho benders. But even more so for my beautiful wife, with whom I'm madly in love. I'm thankful for my children who fill my world with light. (I promise that I wasn't copying Sandy when I jotted down my thankful-list!) I'm thankful that Caroline and I will be blessed with yet another child next summer. I'm thankful that I get to contribute regularly to a website as wonderful as Babble/Strollerderby alongside some very bright, talented and kind people. AND, I'm very thankful for each and every one of the Strollerderby's readers — even those (perhaps, particularly those) who disagree with me. (Special shout-out to Linda, the original one!)
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Suit Aimed at Protecting Kennebec Salmon Revived
WATERVILLE, Maine — A federal appeals court has revived part of a lawsuit brought by two Maine-based environmental groups hoping to save Atlantic salmon and American shad populations from being chewed up in the turbines of hydroelectric dams on the Kennebec River.
The dams are in Waterville, Skowhegan, Fairfield and Brunswick.
Environment Maine and Friends of Merrymeeting Bay brought the lawsuit, claiming dam operators have not demonstrated that measures they say they have taken to protect the fish are effective.
A federal district judge dismissed the complaint last year.
The Morning Sentinel reports that the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston reversed the dismissal, ruling that the environmental groups should be allowed to contest the effectiveness of the protection systems, including installation of fish bypasses around the turbines.

I had intended to review each player separately, but the imminence of the upcoming 2012-2013 season combined with my laziness has made this an impossible endeavor. So here's my condensed version of the Indiana Pacers player reviews for the 2011-2012 season.
Danny Granger
2011-2012 season averages: 62 games, 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 41.6% FG, 38.1% 3P, 87.3% FT
Granger, a notoriously slow starter in the NBA, had a horrible start to the season (last in the league in FG% for quite a while) before redeeming himself a some extent as the season progressed. He blamed the slow start on the lockout (suggesting he took it easy) and the fact that he wasn't used to playing with so many good players on the same team. It ended up hurting Granger's numbers overall, as he stumbled to the worst shooting percentage of his career. On the bright side, he did become a more focused defender and passer, even though the numbers don't necessarily show it.
In the playoffs, Granger took it upon himself to get in people's faces (especially that of Miami players) and got a lot of support and criticism for it, but ultimately he didn't quite get it done when it mattered in the end, getting thoroughly outplayed by Lebron (his goal would have simply been to take the "thoroughly" out of that sentence).
As a whole, Granger underperformed, largely in part due to his slow start. His numbers took another step back this season but it's more indicative of the improvement of his teammates as opposed to a noticeable decline in skill and ability. It's becoming more certain that Granger will be a one-and-done All Star and is not suited to be the number one option on a contending team. That said, he remains the team's most potent scorer until Roy Hibbert and Paul George can prove otherwise.
Grade: B-
Roy Hibbert
2011-2012 season averages: 65 games, 12.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.0 blocks, 49.7% FG, 71.1% FT
Hibbert's career took off last season. He was named an All-Star and got votes for Most Improved Player. He was more consistent under coach Frank Vogel than he was in the Jim O'Brien years. And yet, his numbers don't really scream out at you. In fact, he only averaged 0.1 points than he did the year before, and some say he only rose to prominence in the East due Dwight Howard's injuries. Some critics say Hibbert is overrated; most agree that he wasn't worth the massive contract he got during the offseason.
Watching Hibbert's on-court performance this year, however, it is clear that he has improved. He is less foul prone and takes better shots. He freaks out less. His confidence appears to be up and doesn't take as many dips as it used to. His rebounding improved. But my fear is that he is already nearing his peak and that future improvements will only be minor.
In the playoffs, he was supposed to destroy the Howard-less Magic but underperformed. Against the Heat, he had good games and bad. It's still unclear to me what kind of player Hibbert will end up becoming. So far, consistency, fouls and fatigue remain his biggest problems. Hibbert has never averaged more than 30 minutes a game in his career, but if he can use that fat new contract as motivation and work on this weaknesses he does have a chance to challenge Andrew Bynum as the East's best traditional big man (especially if Bynum's health and attitude remain issues).
Hibbert has also been great in the community, but I'm not taking that into account in his player assessment.
Grade: B+
David West
2011-2012 season averages: 66 games, 12.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 48.8% FG, 80.7% FT
It's no secret that I love David West. His numbers are not as great as they were in New Orleans, but they're not bad for a 32-year-old coming off ACL surgery in the first year of a brand new team stacked with decent players.
As the season progressed, it became clear that West is the team's unequivocal leader. He's the type of player that demands respect from teammates and the type of guy other teams don't want to mess with. After spending all of last summer rehabbing as opposed to conditioning, West didn't get his legs back until at least mid-way through the season, but when he did, we often got to see glimpses of his "beast mode."
I'm looking forward to a lot more that this year, and I hope the Pacers find a way of re-signing him after his two-year contract expires at the end of the season.
Grade: A-
Paul George
2011-2012 season averages: 66 games, 12.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.6 steals, 44% FG, 38.5% 3P, 80.2% FT
It's been said since his rookie season that Paul George is destined to be a star in the NBA. Last season was a step forward in the right direction. He reportdely grew a couple of inches to 6'10", becoming most freakishly long and athletic shooting guard in the league. He took a lot of strides in just about every department, including 3P shooting, passing, defense and rebounding. And yet some people remain dissatisfied with his progress, thinking he should have improved more.
He does have ample room for improvement, which is great news. He can become a far more dangerous slasher if he improves his ball handling (which he has supposedly worked on this offseason) and finishing in traffic around the rim. He can become a great defender if he just stops leaving his feet for those pump fakes and taking unnecessary risks. His decision making will get better with time and experience. Really, there isn't much to dislike about George and his silky smooth game. He is going to be a big factor in how far the Pacers can go in the next few years.
Grade: B+
George Hill
2011-2012 season averages: 50 games, 9.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 44.2% FG, 36.7% 3P, 77.8% FT
Hill missed 16 games last season and yet still took over Darren Collison's starting PG spot by the end of the year. Team management also decided to keep him and let Collison go during the offseason — that's a pretty big endorsement for a guy who didn't really put up amazing numbers and isn't a traditional pass-first point guard. Much of it has to do with that 7-game winning streak the team put together when he took over the injured Collison's starting spot at the end of the season.
Don't get me wrong, I love Hill's game. You wouldn't say he is particularly great at any particular thing, but you just have to concede that the guy can flat out ball. His energy, pure stroke and calmer decision-making, especially in crunch time, make him a solid choice at the starting PG position for the franchise moving forward. His pre-season hip injury remains a concern but I can see him putting up improved numbers across the board this season.
Grade: B
Darren Collison
2011-2012 season averages: 60 games, 10.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 43.8% FG, 36.2% 3P, 83% FT
Collison began the season as the franchise's PG of the future but will begin the upcoming season in Dallas. It's not that he played poorly, but the diminuitive point guard simply never lived up to expectations after he was traded from New Orleans. Collison showed flashes of brilliance, powered by his dazzling speed, and improved significantly on defense, where he was a huge liability before. But his size remained a problem as well as his hesitant decision-making in tight games. Coupled with George Hill's rise, it became obvious that Collison no longer belonged in Indiana.
I was one of those people that was sad to see Collison go this offseason. I loved his fearlessness and his court vision– when he decided to pass instead of shoot, though this is unfortunately rare last season. I'm beginning to think that the Pacers' offense simply isn't very good for a PG's passing numbers.
Grade: B-
Tyler Hansbrough
2011-2012 season averages: 66 games, 9.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 40.8% FG, 81.3% FT
Even Hansbrough's biggest supporters will admit that the former Tarheel was unbearable to watch at times last season. He was like one of those crazy guys you might meet on the playground, someone with an ugly game that somehow got to all the loose balls and looked really awkward and shot the ball every time he got it without even contemplating passing it to teammates. I'm still stunned that he managed to average 0.5 assists last season.
And so, despite playing almost the same number of minutes last season, Hansbrough took a massive step backwards. His confidence was dry and playing behind a seasoned veteran like David West certainly didn't help. The truth is, Hansbrough will always be the same player — an undersized PF who hustles and can hit mid-range shots when he is confident, but isn't a great rebounder or a solid defender. When he doesn't have the confidence, however, he is horrible to watch.
Grade: C-
Dahntay Jones
2011-2012 season averages: 65 games, 5.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1 assist, 40.7% FG, 42.9% 3P, 83.8% FT
Dahntay will always be Dahntay and he was all Dahntay last season for the Pacers, if you know what I mean. He was a good defender against average offensive players but could never match up with the speed, quickness, strength or size of the elite. He took bad shots but was still athletic enough to finish on the break. I will miss his professionalism but not his game, though now he has been shipped off to Dallas I am starting to think he's not such a bad kind of player to have around. That is all.
Grade: C
Leandro Barbosa
2011-2012 season averages: 22 games, 8.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 39.9% FG, 42.4% 3P, 75.8% FT
People are acting like Barbosa's horrible round 2 performance against Miami meant he served no purpose at all on the Pacers. And that's just not true.
As a late season addition, Barbosa was often the offensive spark the team needed off the bench, and I attribute a lot of the team's late surge to his wily veteran moves and willingness to take the big shot. Sure, he was not much of a defender (never has and never will be), but he was in integral part of the bench offense — just imagine how much more abysmal it would have been without him. '
I really wanted the Pacers to re-sign him if he was available at the right price (I mean, what if Gerald Green gets injured?), but it appears that he was never meant to be anything more than a short term rental.
Grade: B-
Lou Amundson
2011-2012 season averages: 60 games, 3.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 43.2% FG, 42.7% FT
The porn star lookalike gave his best Jeff Foster impersonation for the Pacers last season, but it wasn't enough to keep him on the squad for another year. It's unfortunate, but after drafting Miles Plumlee,the Pacers already had too many undersized white hustle guys on the team (plus Jeff Pendergraph).
The general consensus on Amundson is that he did his best trying to pretend to be a center in the NBA. With the injury to Jeff Foster and the absence of a true center to back up Roy Hibbert, Amundson should be commended for the effort he gave. I recall at one stage commentators were suggesting that the Pacers would be crazy to not re-sign him.
But in the end, he was still undersized and couldn't score except on tip ins and wide open shots at the rim, plus he couldn't hit foul shots. I will miss his effort though.
Grade: B
AJ Price
2011-2012 season averages: 44 games, 3.9 points, 1.4 rebounds, 2 assists, 33.9% FG, 29.5% 3P, 80% FT
AJ Price has been lighting up the preseason for the Washington Wizards in place of injued John Wall, but he never got much court time for the Pacers, averaging just 12.9 points last season.
He is a second round pick who has been solid as a third-string point guard and has contributed in some games, but his horrible shooting percentage this past year didn't help his cause in getting a new contract.
Grade: C
Lance Stephenson
2011-2012 season averages: 42 games, 2.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 37.6% FG, 13.3% 3P, 47.1% FT
Born Ready still isn't ready. Lance will probably be best remembered for unleashing the choke sign on Lebron in game 3 of the second round against Miami, after which the Pacers didn't win another game. He was also elbowed in the throat by Dexter Pittman in game 5.
This guy is supposed to be really really good, or at least capable of it, but so far I have only seen the tiniest glimpses of his so-called potential in his 2 NBA seasons. His best game came in the final regular season game, where he scored 22 on 10-15 shooting in a loss to the Bulls. We'll need to see more of the same this season or his time in Indiana might come to an end.
Grade: D
Jeff Foster
2011-2012 season averages: 11 games, 2.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 50% FG, 66.7% FT
It's a true shame that one of Indiana's best-loved players had to retire mid-season to injury, but Jeff Foster gave all he had to the Pacers for 13 seasons. I won't have a bad word to say about him here.
Grade: Irrelevant
Jeff Pendergraph
2011-2012 season averages: 20 games, 1.7 points, 1.7 rebounds, 41.7% FG, 57.1% FT
I don't quite understand why Pendergraph, who is no doubt a good athlete and hustle player, has managed to stay on the Pacers this offseason. He's not horrible but at most he is just a serviceable hustle man. Apparently, after spending the offseason working his tail off he is now more of an NBA player. I have no idea if that means he will be any good this season.
Grade: D
Kyrylo Fesenko
2011-2012 season averages: 3 games, 2.7 points, 3 rebounds, 40% FG, 66.7% FT
Without a doubt should have been last season's MVP.
Grade: A+
