Re: WCW 2001- The Trio Ownership
World Championship Wrestling- Monday Nitro
The Main Event
The Nitro entrance video and theme plays to start the broadcast, and then cuts right to a video of the events that have taken place between Booker T, Diamond Dallas Page, and Scott Steiner. The video shows Steiner taking out both men in the main event on the 05/07 edition of Nitro, and then the ending of the Steiner/Page match last week on Nitro, followed by Booker T chasing off Steiner, leading to a stare down between Page and Booker. The video ends, and Nitro cuts right to the ring, where
Booker T
Eric Bischoff
are standing in the ring. Eric is in a bland black suit, simply standing there. Booker is in his tan khaki slacks and shirt, the WCW World Heavyweight Championship Belt around his shoulder. Book has a microphone in his hand, and looks unhappy.
Booker T:
Alright suckas, lets get right to dis thing. Ya see, da past two weeks, Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner has been creatin some drama on Nitro. Two weeks ago, sucka took me and DDP both out, and then did a numba on Page again last week. And ya know, I was pretty pissed still about that chump takin me out da week before week, so I went out there an I was gonna put an end to this. I got ridda Poppa Pump, but this whole thing just couldnt be over wit. Diamond, you had to get all up in muh grill, and try n challenge me for my Dubya See Dubya World Heavyweight Championship.
Booker T stops, and paces the ring a bit. He wipes his mouth with his wrist, and then continues.
Booker T:
So suckas, it seems ya both want a shot at my title. Steiner, Page, if ya both think ya can just waltz up and take muh World Heavyweight Title, then think again! I worked muh ass off ta get back dis title, and I aint lettin go of it that easily. I wanna keep this title around muh waist, but that doesnt mean Im gonna be a chump like some of the other champions in WCWs past; Im gonna be a fightin champion! And that is why I have brought Eric down here with me tonight. Eric, youre the President of WCW now, so Eric, I want you to do me a favor. Give me DDP and Scott Steiner at Slamboree!
The crowd erupts into huge cheers at Bookers request. They definitely want to see Booker T versus Diamond Dallas Page versus Scott Steiner at Slamboree. Bischoff takes the mic from Booker T, and is ready to give his answer.
Eric Bischoff:
Booker T, you want to face Diamond Dallas Page and Scott Steiner at Slamboree? Well then you got it!
At Slamboree, Booker T will defend his WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Scott Steiner and Diamond Dallas Page in a triple threat match!
And not only that, but tonight, you are all going to see a bit of a warm up for that match. Since it seems both you and Page are dying to get at Steiner the most, I have another announcement.
Tonight, you, Booker T, are going to team up with DDP to take on Scott Steiner and his brother, Rick Steiner!
The crowd continues to cheer thunderous praises and screams of delight at the matches just made for tonight, and for Slamboree.
You want DDP? You want Scott Steiner? Well Booker, you got em! Best of luck at Slamboree and tonight, but hey, enough of this crap. This is WCW Monday Nitro, so lets get the show rolling!
Bischoffs music hits, and he walks to the back while Booker soon follows. The cameras then cut to the commentators.

Air Raid vs. Kwee-Wee & Lash Leroux vs. Elix Skipper & Kid Romeo vs. Yung Dragons- Cruiserweight Tag Team Title Number One Contenders Match
So it is our third Nitro of the new WCW, and the cruiserweight tag team division finally gets some TV time. However, it is safe to say no one is really into the cruiserweight tag team division, let alone the cruiserweight division, despite the good talent pool. It should be noted that Skipper and Romeo do not come out to the Team Canada music, and there is no mention of them being a part of Team Canada, verifying that Team Canada is indeed dead. Anyways, the match is elimination style, and the first team to be put away is the total makeshift team of Lash Leroux and Kwee-Wee. About three minutes into the match, Elix Skipper hits Kwee-Wee with the Play of the Day, eliminating Leroux and Kwee-Wee. The match moves down to six men, and it is a lot of flippy-floppy action by the cruiserweights, with Air Raid botching several of their spots. After stinking the match up, Air Raid is put away at the five minute mark when Kid Romeo pins Air Paris with the Last Kiss. The match finally gets down to two teams, with those teams being Skipper & Romeo and Yung Dragons. Skipper and Romeo have all the momentum so far, having elimination the other two teams. The former Team Canada tag team control the match for three minutes, but in the end, the Yung Dragons make a great comeback with some nice spots from Hayashi and Yang. The Yung Dragons secure the victory at about the nine minute mark when Yang hits Romeo with the Yang Time from the top turnbuckle.
After the match, the Yung Dragons celebrate, but their celebrations are cut short by the music of the Filthy Animals. Rey Misterio Jr. and Billy Kidman come down to the ring with the Cruiserweight Tag Title Belts, and charge into the ring. The two men raise the belts up into the faces of the Yung Dragons, and a brawl ensues. The Filthy Animals clean house however, and soon toss the Yung Dragons from ringside, leaving the Filthy Animals to celebrate with their belts.

The Yung Dragons win a hard fought cruiserweight tag team contest, and they will now move on to Slamboree and face those two men standing in the ring, Rey Misterio Jr. and Billy Kidman!
Professor, this cruiserweight tag team division is so exciting to watch! These men can really perform in the ring, and wrestle with everything they got every night! I can promise you all that the match at Slamboree between the Yung Dragons and the Filthy Animals will be an exciting contest to watch!
Indeed it shall, Tony. But ladies and gentleman, dont go away because up next, KroniK will take on the Mamalukes!
KroniK vs. Mamalukes
KroniK is out here in the ring for the second straight week, this time facing a team that actually has some credibility in WCW, unlike Air Raid. The bad thing is though, this match goes longer than last weeks contest, and their opposition is not as good as Air Raid. KroniK and the Mamalukes do battle for four to five minutes, with KroniK dominating most of the match. Johnny The Bull is isolated for the most part of the match, just getting manhandled by Brian Adams and Bryan Clarke, making it seem creative is pretty high on KroniK for some reason. Anyways, KroniK continues to dominate the match, and are only on the defensive for a short bit when Big Vito mustered some offense, but in the end, he fell victim to a Clarke Meltdown. From there, KroniK gave both Vito and The Bull High Times, with Clarke pinning Vito to end the squash match.

KroniK Receives Their Shot
After the match as KroniK celebrates,
Sean OHaire
Chuck Palumbo
come out onto the stage. The two men are dressed in jeans and no shirts, their Tag Title belts slung over their shoulders. Both men are holding mics, and cockily applaud KroniK.
Sean OHaire:
Well done, boys, well done. For the past two weeks, you have been able to kick the crap out of Air Raid and the Mamalukes. Job well done to you guys.
Chuck Palumbo:
But what you havent done, is beat a real tag team. You havent fought and beat a team like Chuck Palumbo and Sean OHaire!
And that is exactly why were out here right now. You see, we were watching your little match with the Mamalukes, and we were impressed with how you just beat the crap out of the Mamalukes. So we went to Eric Bischoff, and we asked him his thoughts on how good the big, bad, KroniK team was.
And he told us that you guys were pretty damn good, good enough to be considered the number one contenders to the WCW Tag Team Titles. We laughed at that because we know that no team is as good as us, but hey, the boss has spoken.
Now we know you guys arent the smartest team ever, so well break it down for you.
OHaire and Palumbo nod at each other and start walking down the entrance ramp to the ring. Adams and Clarke look at each other and nod too, and get out of the ring and onto the apron. This brings a stop to Palumbo and OHaire, who are a mere five feet away from KroniK now.
At Slamboree, its gonna be Chuck Palumbo and Sean OHaire versus KroniK for the WCW Tag Team Titles!
Oh, and hey KroniK, me and Chuck here, were all about cashin checks and breakin backs!
OHaire just used KroniKs trademark phrase, and that has certainly pissed off Brian Adams and Bryan Clarke! KroniK dive off of the ring apron at Palumbo and OHaire, and they tackle them to the ground! It is one huge brawl on the outside of the ring as KroniK and the Tag Champions all exchange right hands! Head of Security Doug Dillinger and his security staff rush down to the ring though and are able to break them up. KroniK is held back at ringside, while Palumbo and OHaire flee up to the top of the entrance stage, grabbing their WCW Tag Title Belts as well. Palumbo and OHaire raise their belts up in the air, taunting KroniK, who are forced to be held back with even more force after that. Palumbo and OHaire walk to the back in a cocky manner, leaving KroniK to continue to fight the restraints of security.
Segment Rating:
Wow! What a huge match that is going to be at Slamboree! Palumbo and OHaire defend the WCW Tag Team Titles against KroniK!
That match will definitely be an interesting one, Tony, but we have to take another commercial break! But stay tuned because coming up next, Shane Helms takes on Evan Karagias!
Evan Karagias vs. Shane Helms
So for the third Nitro in a row, a 3 Count member takes on a 3 Count member. Is this foreshadowing Tank Abbotts return to WCW to get the band back together!? Only time will tell! Anyways, the match doesnt last very long, nor is it that good. Karagias fails to put on an exciting cruiserweight match for the second straight week, against a second great cruiserweight talent. Helms carries the match, making Karagias look better than what he is in the contest. Helms seems to dominate most of the match, working over the neck of Karagias, softening him up for the Vertebreaker. The match is running along as smooth as it can be at the five minute mark, when Shane Helms hits a cross body block. However, Evan Karagias rolls through the cross body on the landing, and ends up getting the pin on Shane Helms! Evan Karagias upsets Shane Helms! The ending was totally out of nowhere, and it doesnt go over well with the crowd at all, or at least the part of the crowd that was watching the match.
After the match as Evan celebrates his upset victory,
Shannon Moore
comes out from the crowd and attacks both Shane Helms and Evan Karagias! Moore takes it to both men with right hands, but after a few moments, Helms and Karagias unite together to knock down Shannon Moore with a double dropkick. Helms goes to shake hands with Karagias, but Karagias turns on Helms and hits him with a low blow and a DDT! At this point Doug Dillinger and security comes out again to break things up, and all three cruiserweights stare each other down.
Evan Karagias def. Shane Helms at 5:04
Star Rating:
* ¾ (59, 58, 74)
A huge upset victory for Evan Karagias against WCW Cruiserweight Champion Shane Helms here on Nitro!
A huge upset indeed, Tony, but my question is- what in the hell was Shannon Moore doing down here in the ring after the match? He had no business down here!
Well, I think it is like you said last week, Shannon Moore wants that attention. Shannon Moore wants that opportunity to be a star. He certainly has gained the attention of our cruiserweight champion and Evan Karagias, so we will have to see if anything comes from that. We will update you if we find out anything of this whole fiasco between Moore, Karagias, and Helms.
The Match Is Made
Schiavone is cut off by the screaming fans because Sprach Zarathustra hits the sound system, bringing out
The Nature Boy Ric Flair!
Flair was once again in an Armani suit, but tonight, Flair just marched right down to the ring, looking quite angry. Flair got into the ring and quickly received a microphone from a stagehand. The fans all let out one enormous WOOO, but Flair just shakes his head.
Ric Flair:
Oh no! Not tonight! Ric Flair is not in a mood for being laid back and yelling out a woo here and there. Tonight, I am out here to call out Jeff Jarrett! JEFF JARRETT! You wanna come out here and run your mouth about me, huh!? You wanna call me some washed-up has been, whos not a real legend!? Jeff Jarrett, you little punk bitch, Ill kick your ass right here, right now!
The fans burst out into cheers, but Flair simply rips off the coat of his Armani suit, and loosens his tie. Flairs face is getting red, but Flair just looks directly into the camera.
JEFF JARRETT! Come out here right now and kick my ass! Come out here, Jeff, and show the world that Ric Flair is a piece of shit!
Jeff Jarrett, come out here and break a guitar right over my head! Jeff Jarrett, bring your ass out here right now! I wanna fight you, Jeff!
Ric Flair takes a deep breath and waits. Flair is waiting for Jarrett to come out, but he never does. About ten seconds go by, and still, no Jarrett.
Come on, Chosen One! I thought Jeff Jarrett was this all-star wrestler who was the biggest thing going in WCW today! Alright, Jeff, if you dont want to fight me here,
fight me at Slamboree! Im challenging you to a match, Jeff Jarrett, this Sunday, at Slamboree!
Beat the Nature Boys ass and prove that Im a no body!
Ric Flair takes another deep breath, and waits again, hoping that Jarrett will come out and face him.
I see that youre not man enough to come out here and accept my challenge man-to-man, Jeff, I understand. But Jeff, Im telling you right now, whether you want to face me or not, this Sunday at Slamboree, you are going to wrestle the Nature Boy!
Sprach Zarathustra hits the sound system again, and Ric Flair drops the microphone, looking to exit the ring. Flair gets to the ring ropes, when Chosen One cuts Sprach Zarathustra, and starts to play! Ric Flair starts grinning and steps back into the center of the ring, waiting for Jarrett to come out from the backstage. Flair waits for Jarrett, yelling out come kick my ass Chosen One, when all of a sudden-
Guitar shot to the head! Jeff Jarrett just came out from the crowd and broke a guitar over the head of Ric Flair!
Ric Flair crumbles to a heap in the ring, and Jarrett just picks up the fallen microphone, grinning.
I told ya, Ric, that yad never know when someone was gonna break a guitar over your head. You werent expecting it, Ric, so I had to do it. I had to bust that guitar over your head! I had to knock you out! I had to prove to all these slap nuts that youre weak and pathetic! Nature Boy, if you want to get your ass kicked at Slamboree, then fine, youll get it.
You versus me at Slamboree!
Ill be waiting to kick your ass there too, Nature Boy. Ha, ha, so long, slap nut.
Chosen One hits the sound system again, and Jarrett walks backstage, receiving a large amount of jeers from the crowd. Jarrett gets to the stage, and turns around to face the ring. He sees the unconscious Ric Flair, and smirks. Jarrett then turns around and walks backstage.
Segment Rating:
What a jerk! Jeff Jarrett is an arrogant jerk, Mike!
Jeff Jarrett is a sly son of a gun, Tony, and he proved just why by sneak attacking Ric Flair. But nevertheless, Tony, it is official; Jeff Jarrett will face-off against Ric Flair at Slamboree!
That is very true, Professor, but will Flair be in top condition after just getting that guitar broken over his head?
I dont know, Tony, but I can only hope Flair will be okay to kick Jeff Jarretts butt at Slamboree.
Me too, Professor, me too. Well ladies and gentleman, we have to take another commercial break. But before we go, I have just been informed that at
Slamboree, Shane Helms will defend the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against both Evan Karagias and Shannon Moore!
Well, ladies and gentleman, we do indeed have to go to our commercial break, but coming up next, Hugh Morris versus The Wall in the semi-finals of the United States Title Tournament! Dont go away!
Hugh Morris vs. The Wall- United States Title Tournament Semi-Final
And so we have our first, and final, semi-final in the United States Title Tournament. This is hyped up by the commentators throughout the match that Lance Storm already got a bye to the finals at Slamboree. Anyways, the match itself is a pretty decent match for it being two big men, with The Wall dominating most of the match. The Wall earned several near falls throughout the contest, but could never put Morris away, leading to the commentators hyping up Morris resiliency for the second straight week. Hugh Morris wouldnt stay down, and finally was able to get some offense in after getting beaten down for six minutes. From there, Morris continued to gain momentum, and put The Wall away after a DDT and No Laughing Matter. The win gives Morris the right to face his former arch-rival, Lance Storm, at Slamboree for the United States Title.

The Finals
As Hugh Morris celebrates,
Lance Storm
s music hits, and Lance walks out onto the entrance stage, holding a microphone, and dressed to wrestle. Storm simply stares at Morris, and continues to do so as Storm walks right down the entrance ramp and into the ring. Upon entering the ring, Storm gets right up in Morris face, showing no fear.
Lance Storm:
Congratulations, Hugh Morris, youve just beat some worthless, pathetic, excuse of a wrestler to advance to the finals of the United States Title Tournament. Now you get to fight the greatest wrestler in WCW, for the greatest championship in WCW, the Canadian National Championship.
Lance Storm is immediately cut off by boos from the crowd, who hate hearing Storm praise Canada, and jeer USA. Morris doesnt like to hear it either, who snatches the microphone away from Lance Storm.
Hugh Morris:
Lance Storm, I think there is something you need to know because I dont think you know what youre heading into. At Slamboree, youre going to face the biggest, baddest, no fear, son of a bitch, in this company, and youre going to be fighting for the greatest title, the United States Title!
That earns Morris an easy cheap pop, and then a chant of
Lance, you may be one hell of a wrestler, and you can fight for Canada all you damn well want to, but Storm, this is the United States of America! This is my home turf, so boy, you better know that when you face me at Slamboree, not only are you going to have to beat me, youre going to have to beat this whole country!
Morris gets another cheap pop, and he taunts for the crowd, soaking up the reactions he is getting. Lance Storm looks disgusted, and snatches the microphone back from Morris.
Hugh Morris, if I could please be serious for a moment! I am not out here to hear you praise a fascist nation, filled with in-bred morons like yourself! If I have to beat you and this entire horrid nation at Slamboree, then so be it!
Lance Storm turns to leave, but then turns back around to Morris.
But if I am going to have to fight those odds at Slamboree, then I guess I should get a head start!
Lance Storm just hit Hugh Morris with a direct kick to the groin! Morris falls like a sack of bricks to the ring canvas, holding himself in extreme pain. Storm pounces on top of Hugh, and lays into him with a flurry of lefts and rights! Storm continues to punch Morris, but stops after a while to inflict more pain to him. Storm gets to his feet, and then drags Morris to his feet by the hair! Storm whips Morris hard into the corner. Morris snaps off of the turnbuckles, and staggers back into the center of the ring, right into a Super Kick! Lance Storm just took out Hugh Morris! Morris is down and out! Storm sadistically grins at his work, and leaves the ring after spitting on Morris.
Segment Rating:
Talk about a man not having any respect! Lance Storm has no respect for this company, this country, or Hugh Morris! That attack on Hugh was cheap!
Indeed it was, Tony, but you have to give credit to Lance Storm for being a tactician and getting an advantage going into Slamboree.
I wont give that scum anything, Professor!
Well make no mistake about it, the battle between USA and Canada rages on in WCW once again! At Slamboree, Hugh Morris and Lance Storm will do-battle once again for the United States Championship, or the Canadian National Championship!
It is the United States Title, bottom line, not the Canadian National Title!
Well ladies and gentleman, were going to take our last commercial break! Coming up next, Booker T and Diamond Dallas Page will team up to take on Rick Steiner and their Slamboree opponent, Scott Steiner! Dont go away!
The Steiner Brothers Are All Set
Before the scheduled main event takes place, the cameras go backstage where Mean Gene Okerlund is standing by with the Steiner Brothers and Midajah.
Gene Okerlund:
I am standing by the Steiner Brothers, who will team up once again, to take on Booker T and Diamond Dallas Page. First off, Scott, Rick, what are your thoughts on this big tag team match?
Scott Steiner:
Let me tell you something, Mean Gene, I dont give a damn about this tag match! All I care about is beating the crap out of Booker T and DDP! Both of these pieces of crap have been thorns in my side for far too long now, and tonight, and then at Slamboree, I am going to end their pathetic excuses of careers! Tonight, I am going to start my mission to end their careers by beating them both down to a bloody pulp with my brother, Rick, here. And then, this Sunday at Slamboree, I am going to finish what I start tonight, and win back the WCW World Heavyweight Championship!
Rick Steiner:
Mean Gene, just like Scott, I dont give a damn about this match. All I am going to do is go out to that ring, and beat the crap out of those two punks with my brother here! I will help soften these two little pieces of crap up for my brother, even though he doesnt need it. All I care about is getting my hands on that piece of crap Jim Duggan! Jim Duggan, I already got it made official by Eric Bischoff: at
Slamboree, you and me, Jim Duggan, are going to go one-on-one!
I am going to break you in half Jim! I am going to break you in half!
S. Steiner:
Booker T, Diamond Dallas Page, I hope you guys are ready for an ass kicking because youre about to get one, courteous of the Steiner Brothers! Now Holla If Ya Here Me!
The Steiner Brothers walk off camera and head towards the ring.
Well ladies and gentleman, lets head back to ringside so we can see the main event!

Booker T and Diamond Dallas Page vs. Steiner Brothers (w/Midajah)
Its main event time, and the crowd is red hot! The audience was digging this match from the ringing of the bell to start the match, although that didnt necessarily make the match good. The four men all put on an eight to nine minute contest that was your typical WCW main event; high in star power, low in talent. The story in this match was Booker and DDP having to work together to take on the Steiner Brothers, but not being able to fully function as a team due do the fact that theyd be opponents in a mere six days. The hostility between Booker T and DDP led to them getting dominated for most of the match by the legendary Steiner Brothers, with Booker T ending up being worked over the most. Mid way in the match, Steiner almost had the match won it seemed when he locked in the Steiner Recliner, but DDP saved his partner. Later on, Booker T made the hot tag to DDP, and from there, chaos broke out. DDP went to work on Scott Steiner, and Booker T ended up doing a number on Rick Steiner. Rick ended up hitting a cheap shot on Booker T, which brought out
Jim Duggan
. Duggan came down into the ring and chased Rick Steiner out of it, and the two then began brawling at ringside, and then through the crowd and out of sight. This left Booker T and DDP in the ring alone with Scott Steiner, and it did not go to well for Steiner. The two faces worked together to take out Big Poppa Pump with right hands, before Booker hit Steiner with the Harlem Axe Kick. From there, DDP finished Scott Steiner off with the Diamond Cutter to gain his team the victory.
After the match, DDP and Booker T celebrated, but when Booker was handed his WCW World Heavyweight Title Belt, tension mounted between the two men. The two had a stare down, and when Booker raised the title into the air, DDP attacked him! The two men exchanged right hands, but were then both blindsided by Scott Steiner! Big Poppa Pump tried to attack both DDP and Booker T, but he was quickly fought off when the two men united together. Steiner was thrown to the outside of the ring, making it DDP and Booker again, with DDP standing behind Booker T. When Booker turned around, DDP went for a quick Diamond Cutter, but Booker shoved Page into the corner turnbuckles. Page staggered backwards into the center of the ring, where he was then planted with the Book End! With both of his challengers down and out, Booker T raised his World Title high into the sky and celebrated as Nitro came to a close.

ALLEN — Incarnate Word turned an unforgettable first half into a forgettable Saturday game for the West Texas A&M Lady Buffs.
Sixth-seeded Incarnate Word continued its Cinderella story in the Lone Star Conference Women's Tournament by building a 15-point halftime lead, then fending off a second half comeback from No. 2 seed West Texas A&M.
That first-half hole WT dug itself in — the 43-28 score was the largest halftime deficit the Lady Buffs faced in 28 games this year — was too steep to climb out of and Incarnate Word escaped with a 73-71 semifinal victory at the Allen Event Center.
WT cut the lead to two with 13.3 seconds remaining on a trio of senior Joni Unruh free throws. Then the Amarillo High graduate continued her no-fear play by tossing in a deep 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds to play, pulling WT within 72-71.
Incarnate Word scored timely points when pressured by WT, with Katy Cooke, Jocelyn Jarmon and Ifunanya Mora combining to make 4-of-5 free throws during the final 21.9 seconds to close out WT.
Incarnate Word entered riding high off an upset of No. 3 seed Midwestern State in Thursday's quarterfinals.
"I'm almost speechless right now to be honest with you," said 12-year Incarnate Word coach Angela Lawson, her record against WT 1-5. "This team coming in as a sixth seed and beating Midwestern and then to beat West Texas A&M. We have never beaten (WT) since I've been here.
"It's quite amazing to beat a No. 2 and a No. 3 seed. I'd just have to say give it up to God for having a lot to do with our transition as a basketball team and our chemistry."
WT coach Krista Gerlich was a class act after the frustrating loss.
"Congratulations to Incarnate Word for a great effort it put forward," said Gerlich, whose Lady Buffs won two LSC regular season games against Incarnate Word. "I would certainly say they threw the first punch and we didn't recover. It was a tale of two different two teams and two different halves."
Incarnate Word stung WT with a 23-8 run during the final 8:36 of the first half, beating the Lady Buffs interior defense time and again for easy baskets with post Chloe Wallace doing a lot of the damage by scoring eight of her 10 points during the key run.
Jarmon also ignited Incarnate Word's emotional first-half effort by adding seven points during the run, which included a 3-pointer. Jarmon scored a game-high 24 points.
"I can't really explain that run," Lawson said. "Except that when we can get into the open court, that's where we are at our best. West Texas is completely opposite of us. They are more of a use the shot clock, half-court offense and can play defense. We did get some stops defensively."
While Incarnate Word seemed like it couldn't miss in the first half (18-of-27 from the floor for 66.7 percent), WT struggled for offense in the opening 20 minutes.
At halftime, WT was 1-of-10 from 3-point range and 12-of-33 overall (36.4).
However, WT left no doubt it wouldn't go home quietly.
The Lady Buffs opened with an 8-2 run less than three minutes into the second half by using an inside basket by senior post Ashley Leven and a pair of Aly Sherman buckets to close to within 45-36.
"It's tough to get down like that and try to come back," Unruh said. "I was really proud of the girls. The first few minutes of the second half we came back within five."
With 14:27 remaining, WT had pretty much erased its first half memory and whittled the lead to 48-45 on an easy Lacee Logan basket following a feed from Unruh.
But during the next three minutes, Incarnate Word's Katy Cooke and Jarmon hit 3-pointers to extend the lead back to 10.
"All in all, we put it all together," Jarmon said.
WT was led in by seniors Leven, Unruh and Sherman, each with 14 points.
Jarmon was joined in double figures by Ashlyn Green's 17 points, and Wallace added 10 points and seven rebounds.
"We just dug ourselves too deep of a hole," Gerlich said. "I thought we certainly answered the call in the second half and rose up and played really hard. Sometimes you put so much energy into catching up, you just can't finish it off."
Incarnate Word advances to Sunday's 1 p.m. finals against Tarleton State.

Predicting the reliability of power electronic modules
Bailey, Christopher, Lu, Hua and Tilford, Tim (2007) Predicting the reliability of power electronic modules. In: Keyun, Bi and Ming, Li, (eds.) ICEPT: 2007 8th International Conference On Electronics Packaging Technology, Proceedings. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., New York, pp. 809-813. ISBN 9781424413911 (doi:10.1109/ICEPT.2007.4441543)Full text not available from this repository.
This paper discusses the reliability of an IGBT power electronics module. This work is part of a major UK funded initiative into the design, packaging and reliability of power electronic modules. The predictive methodology combines numerical modeling techniques with experimentation and accelerated testing to identify failure modes and mechanisms for these type of power electronic module structures. The paper details results for solder joint failure substrate solder. Finite element method modeling techniques have been used to predict the stress and strain distribution within the module structures. Together with accelerated life testing, these results have provided a failure model for these joints which has been used to predict reliability of a rail traction application

An infant who was seemingly cured of HIV following aggressive drug therapy just hours after her birth was recently discovered to be infected with the virus that causes AIDS after all, doctors announced Thursday.
The so-called Mississippi Baby, now nearly 4 years old, had raised hopes of a potential cure for babies infected with HIV when the girl's case was first described at an AIDS conference last year. It also provided the foundation for an upcoming clinical trial.
The recent discovery that the 46-month-old child had actually carried the virus at undetectable levels for almost two years before it rebounded suddenly came as a blow to health officials and HIV experts.
"It felt very much like a punch to the gut," said Dr. Hannah Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Miss., who had treated the girl.
"It was extremely disappointing, both from the scientific standpoint that we had been very hopeful that this would lead to bigger and better things, but mainly for the sake of the child, who now is back on medicine and expected to stay on medicine for a very long time," Gay said during a news conference.

Perhaps Oklahoma's "Motor Voter" law hasn't been as successful as many would have hoped, but that doesn't necessarily signify the law has not been effective or will not serve a purpose in the future.
Under the National Voter Registration Act of four years ago, the federal "Motor Voter" law - which enables state residents to register to vote when they renew their driver's licenses or buy a car tag - has simplified the process of voter registration.
The problem is the law has not resulted in a substantial increase in the number of registered voters in Oklahoma. Since the "Motor Voter" went into effect, a total of 248,911 Oklahomans registered to vote at tag agencies.
However, of those only 25 percent actually bothered to exercise their right to vote, according to state statistics. Moreover, after the 1998 general election cycle in November of last year, the state recorded a 1 percent increase in registered voters.
Not exactly whopping numbers that would justify optimism regarding increased voter registration and turnout.
Still, any process that makes it easier and more convenient for people to register to vote is a welcome tool in the battle against voter apathy.
There is no denying the "Motor Voter" accomplishes that objective even if people are not taking advantage of the opportunity to make their voices heard in the democratic process.
Ironically, media polls seem to be the avenue of choice for most Americans to participate in the election process.
Unfortunately, there is not one simple solution to the ongoing problem of voter apathy. There are ways to alleviate some of the reasons for Americans disregarding their right to vote.
It is not the only solution, but the "Motor Voter" law fits this category.

Most NFL teams, including the Dallas Cowboys, whittle down their draft boards more than you might think, cutting out the "excess baggage" of players who might not match what they want in a prospect. Whether or not that's an intelligent way to acquire value, it certainly makes the draft process easier; when the Cowboys are on the clock in the 2014 NFL draft, they'll have just a few prospects they could potentially draft.
Using the projected rounds set at CBS Sports, I've listed a few players the Cowboys might consider in each round, breaking down one of them in detail. This isn't a mock draft, but rather a compilation of prospects Dallas figures to have on its radar.

July | August 2006 | Drug safety initiatives, technical innovation, and lean practices are changing the way pharmaceutical supply chains operate. As a result, the role distributors play within that value chain is evolving. Over the past decade, manufacturer discussion around dis-intermediation and direct-to-consumer (DTC) distribution has increased but has largely been driven by concerns over drug safety. With the approaching 2007 implementation of a national pedigree, state-level e-pedigree requirements on the rise, and the proliferation of inventory management agreements (IMAs) throughout the industry, wholesaler arbitrage and resale of inventory into the secondary market are both being rapidly eliminated. As a result, any chance of manufacturers cutting out distributors on a broad scale has largely evaporated. Instead, manufacturers and distributors are exploring ways to create a more collaborative business model.
Manufacturers are currently completely under-whelmed by the level of information provided to them. While the data help them build a historical view, they do not help drive operational efficiency. Without near-real-time frequency of data, manufacturers cannot tie end demand signals to the shop floor nor strive toward a just-in-time operating model. CPG and retail companies have revolutionized the concept of product data availability over the past decade and have set the bar for data availability in the twenty-first century. As item-level traceability grows, the value placed on distributor services will shift to focus more on information than inventory. Distributors will be expected to help map product movement and provide manufacturers with more real-time demand information. These data not only will help manufacturers with sales and operational planning but also will enable them to better enforce IMAs and fee-for-service agreements. These agreements are helping to lean out distribution channels, but they are only as strong as they are enforced. Companies today still have a fundamental level of discomfort around whether information provided is thorough and represents the whole channel. Inventory management and logistics are becoming commodities, and information services will soon become the key differentiator among wholesalers. Within five years, pharmaceutical distributors' main value proposition will be collecting demand signals for manufacturers, and they will be viewed first and foremost as information brokers. Distributors that are late to the table in offering these services will watch helplessly as customers transfer business to their competitors.
Low Volume, High ValueAlthough mass distribution will reside with wholesalers, manufacturers do see three significant opportunities for DTC distribution, including customized unit-level fulfillment, low-volume high-value products, and new product launch logistics. Wholesalers are set up for mass distribution, not small, customized order delivery. Opening up multiple cases and packaging together a few bottles of varying type and brand for delivery is not a core competency. Third-party logistics providers (3PLs) such as DHL, FedEx, and UPS specialize in small-unit-level, perfect-order performance and already have sophisticated package-tracking systems in place, positioning them well to capture this market as Internet selling and other direct channels expand. Products that are low in volume and high in value (such as vaccines and high-end biologics) are also well suited for DTC distribution. Lower levels of logistical complexity and highly defined end consuming entities make this possible. Finally, new product launch presents a strong case for DTC distribution. Perfect-order performance during a launch can make or break a product's long-term success.
To remain competitive, distributors must continue to differentiate themselves through product portfolio (including generics) and services offered. Nontraditional segmentation of service offerings should be explored. Providing tiered levels of service to customers with different operating requirements and sophistication needs at different price points will help more closely align actual services rendered with services charged. Distributors must proactively design transparency into distribution processes and invest in the necessary infrastructure to provide item-, case-, and pallet-level visibility on a near-real-time basis. If distributors do not do this on their own, the endpoints will eventually create this kind of model themselves through a consortium approach. Emerging product tracking services and networkwide subscription models already threaten to provide this type of a platform.

on August 30, 2012 - 12:01 AM
In 38 years of coaching, Alden coach Dick Diminuco has never seen a leader like junior quarterback Brian Stoldt.
"He is without question the greatest leader I've been around," Diminuco said. "I can't imagine someone not loving the kid. He's a kid everybody pulls for."
Stoldt said he thinks about Alden's last game no fewer than 20 times a day.
The two past years, the Bulldogs have fallen prey to a well-oiled machine: a Hornell team that has won three consecutive New York State Class B championships. Both meetings took place at the Far West Regionals, and both ended in heartbreaking fashion for Alden.
There's something motivational about the sting of defeat. After a hard-fought 21-14 loss in 2010 and a 20-14 overtime loss last year (a game Alden seemed to have in hand in the fourth quarter), the coach/quarterback duo is as driven as ever.
"We were so close to winning it," said Stoldt, who started last year as a sophomore. "We're ready to go. We want to get back there and win it this time."
The day of the Bulldogs' first practice, which started at 9:15 a.m., Diminuco woke up at 4:30 because he was so excited
"I'm an old guy and I've been coaching a long time, and I still remember [last year's loss to Hornell]," he said. "I hope it serves as a focus for the kids. I hope it gives us a bit of incentive."
The Bulldogs, who finished 10-1, led Hornell 14-6 with less than two minutes to play in Rochester, but the Red Raiders scored and converted a two-point conversion with 1:37 remaining before taking the game in overtime.
That was in November. Stoldt was still a youngster.
"I'm really looking forward to this year because I know the system," Stoldt said. "I've got a year under my belt. I'm comfortable with the guys. There's no more trying to prove something to your teammates. You're the leader."
Stoldt rewarded Diminuco's faith when the inexperienced QB led the Bulldogs to a Section VI title over Depew at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The coach has been around quite a few players. He knows when he's found a special one.
"I can't say enough about him as a young man most of all," Diminuco said. "He's a great student, great teammate, terrific person."
Diminuco said he feels solid about his team's core, but the squad isn't as deep as it has been the past two years.
Alden lost star graduates at wide receiver (Eric Roth), offensive line (Josh Chase) and linebacker (Ryan Sosnowski). Stoldt will shoulder a heavy burden.
"If something should ever happen to Brian, knock on wood, we'd have a difficult time," Diminuco said.
Stoldt said he thinks one part of the team will pack a big surprise: its defensive front seven, though it's composed of mostly inexperienced players.
One thing is for certain: every player, coach and fan who returns from last year hasn't forgotten about that loss.
"It's very motivating," Stoldt said. "We were so close to a state title. This year in the offseason we've worked very hard to get back. Our main goal this year is to win the state title. Section VI, it's going to be a tough league and we've got to take it one game at a time."
Stoldt joined his teammates in weightlifting during the summer, and since last season ended the team's captains have participated in "captain's workouts" three to four days a week.
"This is a team that's extremely close together," he said. "We have played together our whole lives."
Stoldt and his comrades open Friday at home against Barker/Roy-Hart.
After the way last year's postseason ended, Stoldt is even more determined to lead the Bulldogs to a triumphant finish.
"I think we could be right there with those teams [from the past two years]," Stoldt said. "As long as we keep working hard and put in the time, I think we can be just as good if not better."

Commonly used C Preprocessor Directives
Commonly used C Preprocessor Directives
You can use the #define directive to give a meaningful name to a constant in your program. The two forms of the syntax are:
Syntax :
#define identifier token-string
#define identifier[( identifier, ... , identifier )] token-string
The #define directive substitutes token-string for all subsequent occurrences of an identifier in the source file.
Syntax :
#error token-string
#error directives are encountered, compilation terminates. These directives are most useful for detecting programmer inconsistencies and violation of constraints during preprocessing.
Example :
#if !defined(__cplusplus)
As its name implies, the #undef directive removes (undefines) a name previously created with #define.
#undef identifier
#if, #elif, #else, #endif
The #if directive, with the #elif, #else, and #endif directives, controls compilation of portions of a source file. If the expression you write (after the #if) has a nonzero value, the line group immediately following the #if directive is retained in the translation unit.
The #include directive tells the preprocessor to treat the contents of a specified file as if those contents had appeared in the source program at the point where the directive appears.
#include "path-spec"
This form instructs the preprocessor to look for include files in the same directory of the file that contains the #include statement
#include <path-spec>
This form instructs the preprocessor to search for include files first along the path specified by the /I compiler option, then along the path specified by the INCLUDE environment variable.
#ifdef, #ifndef
The #ifdef and #ifndef directives perform the same task as the #if directive when it is used with defined( identifier ).
#ifdef identifier
is equivalent to
#if defined identifier
Each implementation of C and C++ supports some features unique to its host machine or operating system. Some programs, for instance, need to exercise precise control over the memory areas where data is placed or to control the way certain functions receive parameters. The #pragma directives offer a way for each compiler to offer machine- and operating-system-specific features while retaining overall compatibility with the C and C++ languages. Pragmas are machine- or operating-system-specific by definition, and are usually different for every compiler.
#pragma token-string
token-string can be any one of the following.
Instead of going into the details of what each one of them is I would discuss the most commonly used one here as thats the title of the article and that is
It specifies that the file, in which the pragma resides, will be included (opened) only once by the compiler in a building of a particular file.
#pragma once
There is one big confusion among the developers that header file is included once if it contains
#pragma once only for the entire build but actually thats not the case. When you have two files code1.cpp and code2.cpp and one header file header.h. Put #pragma once and then a variable declaration in the header file as
int iTest = 10; and try including the header file from both the cpp files and you will see an error like
iTest already defined in xxxx.obj.
This is not because
#pragma is not working but actually the concept is for the compilation of the .cpp file a header file can be included multiple times from different locations and that is prevented using the #pragma once
Re: Commonly used C Preprocessor Directives
can we #define something to be used latter for setting values

[QUOTE=sbhikes;1328408]But doesn't being hungry present a dieter with a disadvantage? And doesn't lack of hunger present a dieter with an advantage?[/quote]
Not necessarily. If the hunger is scaled to the metabolic increase, it's a wash. People who eat high carb diets tend to have faster metabolisms than people who eat low carb diets, so you have to eat more to maintain your weight. Keto presents a substantial disadvantage because it is less protectant of lean mass than diets rich in carbohydrate, so if you are dieting, you are more likely to lose lean mass and preserve fat when on keto. Study after study shows the best lean mass retention when on a caloric deficit is on a high protein diet where carbohydrate and fat are balanced. Skew too far in one direction and lean mass suffers. When trying to gain weight, study after study shows a high protein diet with a lower fat/higher carb approach produces the best lean mass gains with the least fat mass gains. I have never seen any study where a high fat diets comes on top for...anything. Not saying it doesn't exist, but the facts are stacked against fat.
[QUOTE=sbhikes;1328408]Hunger is a metabolic process and fighting it with willpower is not a viable strategy for many people. Fighting it with an automatic physiological response seems like a winning strategy to me.[/quote]
Protein is generally the driving factor in hunger. Are you hungry? Eat more protein and less of everything else while maintaining calories.
[QUOTE=sbhikes;1328408]This has been my experience. A low carb diet gave me the hunger suppression that allowed me to reduce calories. It was a huge relief and almost magical in how relatively easy it was to eat so little.[/quote]
See, I'd argue it was a higher protein diet that did that.
[QUOTE=sbhikes;1328408]Then I began strength training and HIIT and switched over to a higher carb, higher protein, low fat primal diet. I eat manly portions and I get very hungry, but I do not get fat because of the kind of training I do.[/quote]
It's the lifting that makes you hungry. On my deload weeks there is a noticeable drop in hunger. It's like clockwork.

If a jailbroken Apple TV loaded with XBMC 11.0 "Eden" was not enough for you, we have some great news. XBMC has just released their first public BETA of XBMC 12.0 "Frodo". The team has been hard at work pushing out one of their fastest, and most feature-rich, upgrades in history. As of the release of Eden, XBMC's current stable build that is likely installed on all of your Apple TV's, the team promised the beginning of a new monthly building plan that would hopefully expedite the process of fixing bugs and updated releases. As of this week, it would appear that this plan has, in fact, worked.
The Apple TV 2, Apple TV 3, iPad 2-4, iPhone 4-5, and some iPod touches have all shared one thing in common over the past few years and that one thing is AirPlay. Well, as of this year Apple has decided to updated its latest Mac OS X, Mountain Lion build, with support for the mirroring functionality as well. There is no arguing that AirPlay is one of the strongest growing features in Apple's multimedia arsenal. For those of us who have the distinct pleasure of utilizing AirPlay to the fullest, we know that it is something everyone needs in their lives. That said, there is a large segment of the globe that is unable to take advantage of these features.
Squirrels, a developer behind AirParrot and Reflection, is running a sale for its products: both AirParrot and Reflection are 20% off. AirParrot, an app that enables your Macs or Windows machines to AirPlay its screen to Apple TV, is now $7.99 (was $9.99). Reflection, a little piece of software that lets you AirPlay mirror your iDevice to any Mac or PC, sells at $11.99 (was $14.99). Hurry up, sale ends on November 16th at midnight EST.
AirServer, an AirPlay receiver that enables you to stream audio, videos and photos, to your Mac, Windows PC or iOS device, has been updated to version 4.6 that features support for projectors, iPad mini and onscreen passcode (very useful in classroom environments). New AirServer also add a new audio player with remote playback controls, support for Remote Speaker output and Mountain Lion mirroring support on older 32-bit Snow Leopard Macs.
Mac version of AirParrot, a fantastic little app that enables your Macs or Windows machines to AirPlay its screen to Apple TV, has been recently updated to version 1.5 that brings lots of performance enhancements, few bug fixes and improved compatibility with Apple TV's latest firmware. Windows version of AirParrot will also be updated soon.

Video: Sonakshi sizzles runway in a feathered dress
Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha recently walked the ramp for designer duo Falguni and Shane Peacock.
Explaining about the design and style of Sinha's dress, designer Falguni said the outfit was made with feathers, beads and silver cut-outs to make the dress look different from a usual black gown.
"Its got a lot of feathers, its got a lot of acrylic and lot of detail of embroidery and bugle beads and it has got silver cut-outs in side, so this makes it look more interesting rather than just a black dress," said Falguni.

Some New Orleans Saints appetizers before Sunday's must-win-or-the-season-really-might-be-over game at Kansas City on Sunday:
First take ...
The good news is the Saints went back to basics in practice this week. In an effort to rectify their problems (turnovers, run blocking, tackling), they worked heavily on fundamentals in their drills.
The bad news is they should have done this a month ago. It might be too late now.
It's become almost routine to see Drew Brees doing his conductor work at the line of scrimmage, frantically trying to audible to a new play, changing protection schemes, moving personnel around, etc.
The Saints are so concerned with trying to outsmart or "out-scheme" the opponent that they forget about what wins football games: blocking and tackling.
Watching Mike Martz futilely trying to send in a new personnel group instead of just spiking the all in the 49ers' now infamous final-minute fiasco on Monday night reminded me of the Saints. Too many bells and whistles and not enough blocking and tackling.
It does you no good to run empty backfields and four-receiver sets if you can't convert second-and-2 or third-and-1.
Maybe the Saints have finally learned that lesson.
Unfortunately, it might be too late.
... And 10 (more observations)The Saints
1. Casual locker-room observation of the week: Each player found a surprise in his locker this week: a new "Saints Edge" T-shirt, courtesy of teammate Hollis Thomas. Thomas designs shirts and wanted each player to receive one as a gift. If you recall, the idea behind the slogan was to reclaim the edge the team played with in 2006. Other than the opener against Tampa Bay, the Saints appear to have left that mentality in Jackson, Miss.
2. Off-the-field note of the week: Tom Benson will be at Fair Grounds Race Course on Friday to present the trophy for the Si Cima Stakes, the main stakes race on opening day of the 2008-2009 meet at the venerable race course. The stakes honors the multiple-stakes winning Louisiana bred mare that also the first thoroughbred owned by Benson. Benson and wife Gayle will be in attendance Friday to present the Si Cima trophy to the owners of the winner.
3. Quote of the week: "We're tired of sitting here talking about getting over the hump. We're not that team. We're not a .500 team. Obviously that's the way we've played for the last year and a half. That's not the type of team we are." - Saints quarterback Drew Brees, summing up the feelings of every player in the New Orleans locker room.
4. Didya notice of the week: It didn't garner much attention but Saints Coach Sean Payton admitted the team considered former Patriots cornerback Ty Law as a possible replacement for Mike McKenzie when they placed the veteran corner on injured reserve this week. "We talked about it. As soon as we had Mike's injury, we went to our short list and he was a player that was on that list," Payton said. "You kind of go through that exercise - even on the plane ride home you're beginning to call agents and come up with your plan."
5. Fact of the week:Courtesy of STATS, Inc., quarterback Drew Brees' 294 passing yards in the fourth quarter last week is the most in a quarter since 1991 and could be an NFL record. STATS, Inc. and NFL statisticians were still conducting manual research of past games at mid-week to determine if it's a record or not. The problem is the league didn't start keeping quarter-by-quarter stats until 1991 so researchers are having to go through the game books by hand to determine if it's a record or not. In other words, this could take awhile.
6. Encouraging stat of the week: In 41 games with the Saints, Brees already has 20 games with 300 yards or more passing, a club record for reaching the milestone. In fact, Brees has double the number of 300-yard games than the second man on the list, Aaron Brooks with 10. The others: Archie Manning with nine and Jim Everett with six. Since arriving, Brees has posted four of the five 400-plus-yard passing days in franchise history. He also has seven of the top eight single-game yardage totals.
7. Disturbing stat of the week:The Saints have issued an NFL-high 10 replay challenges of officials' calls this season. They have had two overturned. Their 20 percent success rate is the second worst in the league for teams with more than three challenges. San Francisco is 0-for-7. Denver is 1-for-5. Either the Saints have been involved in an abnormally high amount of controversial plays or they're needlessly challenging too many calls.
8. What I liked from Week 3:The new additions to the kicking game have added some juice to the Saints' special teams. Kicker Garrett Hartley was solid on field goals and kickoffs and Glenn Pakulak might have the strongest leg of any Saints punter since Mitch Berger. Courtney Roby has added some much-needed speed on kickoff returns. It's early but on first impression all three areas look to be upgraded.
9. What I didn't like from Week 3: Fullback Mike Karney had nine snaps--NINE! For a team that claimed it planned to run the ball on the Falcons that's egregious. I know Karney was injured in the second half and the lopsided deficit forced the Saints into their two-minute offense for the entire fourth quarter but you almost get the feeling Sean Payton would rather operate the entire game in a two-minute offense than use Karney and Deuce McAllister to run the ball.
10. Fearless prediction for Week 4: In this spot a week ago, I predicted Marques Colston's breakout game, and I'll go out on a very shaky, vulnerable limb and predict a similar day for tight end Jeremy Shockey. Call me crazy, but I think Brees and Payton are going to go out of their way to get the fiery tight end back in the fold. After last week's debacle in Atlanta, look for the Saints to call Shockey's number early and often.

For the last 43 years, I've served as a teacher, principal, and school district superintendent with the sole goal of helping all children receive a quality education. Much of my career has been spent working in urban districts where generations of low-income, minority children have been forced to attend violent, chronically failing schools. In many communities, our public-education system has returned to separate and unequal. Access to a quality education is the civil rights battle of our generation.
Before my tenure as superintendent of the Philadelphia School District, I had always believed the best way to improve access to quality education for low-income families was to implement needed reforms from within the education system. Recently, I've come to a sad realization. Real reform will never come from within the system because too many powers that be (the teachers' union, politicians, consultants, vendors, etc.) have a vested interested in maintaining the status quo that is failing our children.

"Costs for a city based logistics venture can be controlled by hiring mini vans, which would drop goods in a neighbourhood that can be picked up by delivery boys," says TA Krishnan, founder CEO of E-Com Express, which launched operations in 36 cities in North India this January. The young venture has now set up large warehouses due to increasing demand. Others like Chottu and Delhivery also provide logistics support to ecommerce firms. Delyver's Salu fulfilled his first order while on a lunch break from Unilever. "It's a capital intensive business. We started with a seed capital of Rs 3 lakh," he says. His parents, both doctors in Kerala, were alarmed to hear that their son, an IIM graduate, was delivering cakes and food to people's homes.

ALTOONA - If there was any lingering effect from his taking Mount Union's only loss of the season his last time out, Brock Goodling sure didn't show it.
The Trojans sophomore not only threw a no-hitter against North Star Thursday, but also connected for a two-run home run in the second inning of Mount Union's 9-0 victory in a PIAA Class AA quarterfinal at Altoona's Veterans' Field.
"This is better than my perfect game because this means so much more," Goodling said. "It means more to me. It means more to the seniors."

Mount Union fans take it to the next level by painting themselves blue and gold.
Goodling seemingly overwhelmed the Cougars' lineup at times, tossing fastball after fastball right past the bats of the team wearing green. The Trojan 10th grader ended the day with eight strikeouts while allowing just a single North Star base runner to get as far as third base.
"Great effort," Trojans coach Nick Imperioli said. "It just goes to show you that you can do it more ways than one. The fastball was the thing, so we just went with it. He looked really fast to me today."
He was also aided on a couple of occasions by his shortstop and fellow Brock - Imperioli. In the top of the fourth, Alijah Detrilla sent a quick bouncer toward the hole on the left side to the cheers of the Cougar faithful who were sure it was a base hit. But Imperioli stabbed it and fired a perfect strike to first base to record the out and preserve the no-no.
"I've got to thank Brock Imperioli," Goodling said. "He saved my game today. That was extravagant. I'm just speechless."
Goodling was masterful on the bump for the Trojans, but it was overshadowed in the early part of the game by the somewhat surprising deluge of offense by Mount Union in the first two innings of the game.
After the Cougars had recorded the first two outs of the frame, the Trojans showed they were just getting started. Goodling's first hit of the day also plated the first run for Mount Union, scoring Chuck Beaston - who had reached on an error - from third base on a single to left field.
Then the wheels began to come off for the District 5 champion.
Sean Dixon crossed on a wild pitch and then, following a walk to Brock Imperioli, Ryan McClain reached on a booted grounder at shortstop, scoring Goodling to make it 3-0.
But the Trojans weren't done making the Cougars pay.
Garett Grainey and Elliot Clemens delivered back-to-back run-scoring singles to give Mount Union a 5-0 bulge before North Star knew what had hit it.
"The five runs made a big difference," Imperioli said. "It makes it easier on the pitcher. It allows him to throw a lot of strikes. (Goodling) threw a lot of strikes. If you can get out to a big lead right away in the state playoffs - every game in the state playoffs is a little bit nervous and on edge. Five runs in the first were big."
The second inning was more of the same from the blue and gold as three more runs came across. Cole Walters was hit by a pitch before giving way to Dylan Knable - inserted as a courtesy runner for the Mount Union catcher. Then Dixon blasted a ball off the wall in center field, plating Knable. That set the table for Goodling, who launched one over the left field wall to put the Trojans up 8-0.
"Finally the offense came through," Goodling said. "It was nice."
Mount Union's final run came in the fifth when Grainey collected the second of his RBI singles on the day, scoring Imperioli to set the final.
But perhaps the biggest compliment to how well Mount Union played comes from the coach himself.
"We played well today all around - can't complain about anything," Imperioli said. "But I'll find something though."

The Blair County Penn State Master Gardeners answered more than 500 garden line calls in 2009.
Master Gardeners started answering gardening questions in early April and finished the year in October.
Many of the questions related to the late blight tomato disease and the cool and wet weather. Home gardeners received the most up-to-date information on what was "bugging" their garden and were instructed on how to recognize and dispose of diseased plants.

Some of the Master Gardeners who took calls on the garden line in 2009 include (from left): seated — Lynda Rodgers, Sam Freet, Teresa Futrick and Joanne Pepple; standing — Gail Murphy, Jackie Forsht and Missie Estep, PSU Extension Office. Absent from the photo are Aaron Keirn, Priscilla Beach, Mary Bolt, Lee Frank, Diane Brumbaugh, Karen Clayton, Bernice Cellini, Yvonne Freet, Christine Hammerle, Diana Hite, Al Imler, Mary Joyce Wustrow, Joyce Keoleian, Dave Heisler, Cathy Swartz, Bob Rhodes, Doug Soss and Janice Snowberger.
"We had a tremendous response to the garden line," said Bernice Cellini, Master Gardener. "The volunteers did an exceptional job of answering questions and kept current with the latest horticultural resources from Extension services."
The garden line will resume services to answer gardening questions in early April.
Master Gardeners receive intensive training and volunteer their time back to the community.
Interested home gardeners who have a strong interest in horticulture and a willingness to fulfill the volunteer commitment required can contact the Blair County Extension Office for more information on the Master Gardener Program at 940-5989.

Photographer? No. Photographs? YES.Cecily Kellogg
When I finally got pregnant with my daughter, one of the best gifts I got at my baby shower was my very first DSL camera. I didn't have a clue what I was doing with it, frankly, and my Flickr stream became filled with thirty of forty shots in a row of pretty much the same thing over and over again.
I have an utterly epic photo shoot of my daughter in an exersaucer.
I know.
Ironically, years later, I have several DSLR cameras but my main camera is, sadly, my iPhone. It takes really good photos, actually better than my first digital camera.
But there are times, in fact, when I need something better than a phone camera, but don't want to haul around my clunky (isn't it funny, how perspective changes!) DSLR with its giant lenses.
That's where the Samsung Galaxy Camera steps in.
Frankly, it's the most innovative camera I've ever seen. I'm not being dramatic when I say that; it's completely different. Instead of a camera full of photos you have to download, you can upload them directly wherever you want them with the camera. More than that that's not really new, after all you can send them to Instagram.
Yes, with your CAMERA.
Basically and this is a crude definition it's a digital camera with a Droid smart phone slapped onto the back. Yes, it operates exactly like a smart phone without making actual calls, of course. But you can upload any Droid app that you want and use the camera just like a smart phone.
It's amazing.
Best of all, it takes great pictures. It works great in low light, it shoots sharp video everything you want from a digital camera. Plus, it's beautifully compact, has a nice weight to it, and is simply gorgeous.
I'm in love.
I can't wait to use it as we ramp up to the holidays. It's my new favorite camera. Check out the video below so you can see what I mean!
Would you like to win your own Samsung Galaxy Camera? Repin one of the photos from our "Holiday Memories + Moments" Pinterest board with the hashtag #samsungmemories for a chance to win, or upload your own photo onto your personal board with the hashtag #samsungmemories. And from there, we will pick the top twenty photos. Contest ends December 31st, 2012.
A big thanks to Samsung for sponsoring this campaign. Click here to see more of the discussion.

Watching for Aliens over the Allegheny
By Karen Weyant
14 January 2013
Two kids from the city swear they saw
strange lights in the sky, so that is why
we are here, your shoes sinking
in soft mud while I'm barefoot, wading
in water that curls around my toes.
It's twilight, the horizon bruised.
Shanties tilt to the side, floorboards soaked
from spring flooding, moss heavy
on roofs and banisters. Hemlock trunks
throw shadows like men, and I think
of my neighbor who claims that a week ago,
two figures in black suits walked through
her backyard. When she looked for their tracks,
she could only find pawprints of a large dog.
Purple loosestrife springs from small
islands, a lingering breeze sulks, kicks
cattails and chicory weed. In the distance,
towers from the oil refineries spark.
I hear a snap and a splash.
Carp, you say, or maybe brown trout.
Darkness hovers, smooths out the lines
in the sky. We lose hours in complete silence.
I'm not a world travelor, unfortunately, but it doesn't seem like Karen has ever been to Appalachia either. The poem is okay otherwise.
Knowing Karen's work and her background, not only has she been to Appalachia she's born, raised and still working there.
Very evocative choice of words here.
