Coach Smith says Falcons' failures are his fault
By George Henry | 11/21/2013, 11:08 a.m.
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - Nothing is going right for the Atlanta Falcons, and coach Mike Smith said he is fully to blame.
"The team is not being coached as well as it needs to be coached,'' Smith said Monday, "and I take full responsibility for that.''
Riding a four-game losing streak, the Falcons (2-8) had just two days to practice before hosting New Orleans (8-2) tonight.
Atlanta endured a three-game skid earlier this season, but Smith considers this current streak to be the worst of his 15-year NFL career.
As an assistant coach in nine years with Baltimore and Jacksonville, Smith was part of two losing seasons. With the Falcons, he had never dropped consecutive games until this year.
"I've never experienced this many losses in a row, so it is a tough stretch,'' he said. "But you have to continue to work hard and stay focused to win this next game because that's the only way you stop this streak.''
Since Smith took charge in 2008, Atlanta is 3-8 against the Saints, but the team that lost in the final seconds at the Superdome in Week 1 has seemingly all but disappeared.
The Falcons aren't winning battles on the line of scrimmage. They aren't tackling well. They're tied for next to last in turnover margin.
Quarterback Matt Ryan has thrown nine interceptions in the last four games and seems to get hit on every passing attempt behind a porous offensive line.
Atlanta has allowed 900 total yards in the last two weeks, and opponents this season have averaged almost 29 points per game.
Yes, the Falcons have suffered some critical injuries _ the worst being receiver Julio Jones' season-ending foot surgery last month _ but nobody, including Smith, figured on a collapse of this magnitude.
"We were just sloppy across the board, not young guys or old guys, I think everybody,'' Ryan said after Sunday's 41-28 loss at Tampa Bay. "In order to play in this league (and) be competitive in this league, you have to take care of those things.''
Atlanta cut longtime veterans John Abraham, Dunta Robinson, Michael Turner and Tyson Clabo during the offseason. Center Todd McClure, a 13-year starter, and linebacker Mike Peterson, a locker room leader, weren't offered contracts.
Even so, with a core of Ryan, tight end Tony Gonzalez, receiver Roddy White, linebacker Sean Weatherspoon and strong safety William Moore, the Falcons still brought back most of the team that earned the NFC's top playoff seed last year.
Adding free agents Steven Jackson and Osi Umenyiora only fueled Super Bowl expectations.
Injuries to Jones, White, Weatherspoon, left tackle Sam Baker and defensive end Kroy Biermann disrupted continuity, the Falcons lost confidence and a free fall ensued that Smith doesn't know how to stop.
"Football is a game of winning the line of scrimmage, it's a game of taking advantage of the momentum and it's playing with confidence,'' Smith said. "And right now, I don't believe we're playing with a whole lot of confidence as a football, and we need to change that.''

It Took Clark Secor 61 Years to Propose to Christina Gordon; Then She Played Hard to Get
On one such day last fall, he popped the question. "She was so startled," Secor recalls, "she said no. 'If you're not going to marry me,' I said, 'I'm going to find someone else.' "
Before carrying through with his threat, however, Secor proposed again the following Sunday. "Why not make him a little happy?" thought Christina. And besides, "Who can he get who's as nice as I am?" She said yes. They picked up a marriage license on Monday and were pronounced man and wife the next day.
Lest this sound like impetuous youth rushing into romantic folly, consider the fact that the newlyweds had known each other for 61 years. The groom was 90, the bride 76.
Both lifelong residents of Toronto, the Secors met in 1918 when Chris was the high school girl next door. Clark was in his late 20s. After dropping out of high school he had gone to work for his father's livery company. That same year he married another neighborhood girl, Lizzie Baird. He fathered two children and spent many years as a traveling salesman, peddling everything from candy to auto supplies. In 1947 he became a tune-up specialist for a Chrysler dealer and retired after 14 years. He has remained active in civic affairs, giving frequent lectures on local history. (Scarborough, now part of Toronto but formerly a separate township, was once crisscrossed with Indian trails.) Secor was hailed as "Mr. Scarborough" by community officials at his 90th birthday last August. "I've been busy every minute since 1961," declares the lively nonagenarian, whose father lived to 101. "The last 20 years have been most gratifying."
Until 1955 Clark and Lizzie lived in the same neighborhood as Christina. She was a tennis champion in her youth, and went on to become a master in duplicate bridge, a successful career woman and a world traveler (twice around the world by freighter in 1977, for example). She dropped out of high school, trained as a secretary and began working for a lawyer. Eventually she rose to manage the debt collections department of a distinguished Toronto law firm for more than 40 years.
Chris lived with her parents and when they died took up residence in a Salvation Army lodge for senior citizens. She met "a charming gentleman" there and married for the first time in 1971 at the age of 68. But 19 days later her new husband died of a heart attack. "I never really had much experience with married life," Chris now says matter-of-factly. "Every girl has romances but I don't tell Clark about them. I don't think he's interested."
Secor's first wife died in 1971, too. After 53 years of marriage, he found "this being alone is no darn good. I wanted to get married but I wasn't playing the field or anything." There was one widow, whom he gallantly refers to only as "Mrs. H.," whom Clark took out shopping and driving, but she didn't seem interested in a more permanent arrangement.
He had stayed in touch with Chris and post-Mrs. H. started asking her to accompany him on Sunday drives and short trips ("Never overnight," she points out). Their courtship was "something I'm proud of," Secor tells his wife. "I never once touched you except to take your arm when I was helping you or pointing something out. I hate those men who are always pawing women." Indeed, Secor's attentions were so discreet that Chris marvels, "I never dreamed it would come to marriage."
During their two-day engagement, Secor went to the Scarborough Civic Center to get the marriage license. When Clark tried to pay the $20 fee, the clerk demurred, "No, no, Mr. Secor. We wouldn't take that from you. This one is on the house." The ceremony, on October 30, was held at the house of a longtime friend and minister; a retired dentist and his wife acted as witnesses. After a five-day honeymoon at Clark's secluded cottage on Leonard Lake, the newlyweds returned to a reception thrown by 22 friends, who all chipped in to buy a silver bowl which now sits on top of the Secors' television set. To their great amusement, they were also given a birth registration form—just in case.
For the new Mrs. Secor, it was wrenching to leave the security of the Salvation Army lodge and move in to Clark's five-room house, but she is not one to complain. "You couldn't find a nicer man," she says. "He would give you the shirt off his back." ("I hope you don't admire anything in this house," she told a recent visitor, while glancing around the living room, which is tidy but crowded with memorabilia, "because he would give it to you and it might belong to me.")
The Secors lead a frugal existence. Clark receives a small government pension. "I have the house," he says, "but Chris has the cash." When he jokingly attempts to claim he married her for her savings, she gently hushes him. There seems to be enough in the coffers for a cruise—Clark's first—down the Saguenay River in Quebec next month.
Secor became accustomed to frozen dinners during his bachelor days, but Chris, though she had never really kept house before, has enlarged the menu. "I have a good IQ," she says. "Don't you think anybody with a brain and Nellie Pattinson's Canadian cookbook can cook?" The Secors are contented stay-at-homes, entertaining and visiting only once in a while. (Mostly they see Clark's son Watson, 61, an oil company foreman in Sarnia, Ontario, and his daughter June, 57, a nurse at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children.) "We don't need anybody else," smiles Chris. "We have each other."
Since the wedding, mutual respect has deepened into genuine affection. "I really love him now," says Chris. "It's a marriage in every sense of the word. It's wonderful to be in the arms of somebody who really loves you."

INDIANAPOLIS — Four years ago, the Giants advanced to their first Super Bowl without longtime owner Wellington Mara, who had died of lymphoma just over two years before at the age of 89. It was difficult for the team to not notice his absence as his son John was the first to hoist the Lombardi Trophy after the Giants defeated the New England Patriots.
As the two squads prepare for a Super Bowl rematch next Sunday, it's the Patriots side that will sense a void in the owner's box. Robert Kraft's wife, Myra — a constant presence during the Krafts' ownership dating back to 1985 — died last July of cancer at the age of 68.
The Patriots have played with an "MHK" patch above their hearts in honor of Myra and the team has rallied around Kraft, who has endured an emotional season without his wife and still refers to Myra as his sweetheart.
Emotions were high again today when the Patriots were sent off with a pep rally at Gillette Stadium before they went on to catch a flight to Indianapolis.
"At the stadium today, it was so special because the times we're in now, to have 25,000 of our fans come to the stadium and cheer our team off and they were chanting my sweetheart's initials as well," Kraft said. "It was a very emotional experience and very special."
Both Kraft and the Maras have dealt with emotion in Super Bowls and are familiar with each other, having been instrumental in negotiations with the players' union during the lockout.
"I'm very fond of the ownership on the other side," Kraft said. "The Mara family has done so much for the league over the last 90 years and put the league first."
"And the Tisches are a great family and they have a great team. And Coach (Tom) Coughlin — Tom and Bill (Belichick) they worked together so I think the fans of the NFL are going to have a great football game."

Anita McKeown, a 5'9" blonde with a movie star's face and Hulk Hogan's muscle power, thought hard about becoming a police officer before applying to the Santa Monica force last year. She wanted a job that was different, one where she wouldn't be tied to a desk. And, confesses McKeown sheepishly, "There was a little of the fantasy about cops on TV."
McKeown, 24, may have had Hill Street Blues on her mind when she entered the police academy in April 1984, but after nearly a year on the job her story seems destined more for Emergency Room. During her first 10 months on the 148-strong city force, she suffered more serious mishaps in the line of duty than anybody can remember in the department's history. Her colleagues call her Calamity Jane and jokingly dive for cover whenever she strolls into the station house. That isn't often: She has spent 29 of her first 50 weeks sidelined with injuries. Consequently, her superiors told her she has failed probation and will have to repeat as a rookie if she wants to stay in the force. She vows to do just that. "I think it's just the luck of the draw," shrugs McKeown, a 140-pound Californian, now recovering from her second broken ankle. "If I thought it was anything more, I would quit."
Still the year has been so bad that McKeown, a psychology major who attended Cal State-Northridge on a basketball scholarship, has become a celebrity. She is scheduled for Johnny and Merv, and veteran Hollywood producer Andrew (The Rebel) Fenady has snapped up the rights to her life story. "I started tingling when I read about her," he gushes.
Consider the lowlights of McKeown's rookie year:
Nov. 10, 1984: McKeown, who finished in the top 17 percent of her class (and second among 16 women), is working the 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. shift. She pulls over a car for a routine traffic check, but the drunk driver gets out and starts running. McKeown gives chase, overtakes him and wrestles him to the ground. He grabs her gun, but she smashes his wrist. She subdues the man, but breaks a finger and badly wrenches her back in the process. She's out for five weeks.
Dec. 23, 1984: McKeown stops her patrol car at 11:30 p.m. to question two youths who, neighbors complain, are noisy. "Before I know it, one of them pulls a knife from his waist and lunges at me," she says. "He got me in the hand and shoulder." The other boy shoves a gun to her head and pulls the trigger. Nothing happens. "When I heard the click, I thought I was dead," says McKeown. Later she is found by backup officers facedown and unconscious from a blow to the head. She spends 12 hours in the hospital. Her superiors tell her to take two weeks off.
Feb. 9, 1985: After a week of desk duty she is back on patrol. About 1 a.m. she reports a three-car collision on the Santa Monica Freeway. McKeown is helping to push one of the cars off the road when a drunk driver clips her and she is thrown to the pavement. Forever diligent, she limps over to the car, which has crashed into the center of the divider, and arrests the driver. Score this one a broken right ankle and torn kidney. She's out for seven weeks.
April 23, 1985: Four trouble-free weeks end at 2:30 a.m. She spots a car without taillights, and is close enough to read the plates, when one of the passengers leans out the window and starts shooting. The bullets shatter her windshield and miss her head by inches. "It was the one time I came close to quitting," she says.
June 13, 1985: McKeown gives chase at 100 mph to a stolen car that crashes into a wall, killing one passenger. The wall stops McKeown too, and she spends two days in intensive care and four more in the hospital for injuries including a broken ankle, bruised heart and torn eye tissue.
There is a bright side to all this. McKeown's once sputtering social life has picked up again. "I lost my boyfriend when I entered the academy," she says. "He just couldn't handle the fact that I was a cop." Her current beau, whose appropriate name is Mike Hurt, 29, handles it better because he, too, is a Santa Monica officer. They got to know each other when he helped investigate her stabbing incident; he later consoled her through her other medical traumas. In fact, some of their early dates were in the emergency room. Hurt, a muscular guy, isn't wild about McKeown being on the force. "Look, I just figure if you've got a bad guy out there and he's built like Arnold Schwarzenegger, you need somebody just as strong to take him out."
But plucky Anita, one of five kids of an electrician and a homemaker, isn't about to give up her $22,000-a-year job because of a few broken bones and stray bullets. "My family and friends are crusading to get me to retire," she says. "But I've decided to grit my teeth and go back." Come August 22, McKeown returns to active duty. Watch out, Miami Vice. Or better yet, General Hospital.
Nicknamed 'Calamity Jane,' Rookie Cop Anita McKeown Gets Nothing but Bad Breaks

Bounty Hunter by Lizbeth Dusseau
Logan Dunn thrives in an underground society where rich men claim young females willing to trade their desperation and their freedom for the seemingly safer lives as sexual sumissives. When the fascination for their kinky lifestyle fades and they take off, it's Logan's job to hunt them down and bring them back to face the brutal punishment of their vindictive owners. His reputation for success is without reproach; his methods cunning, ruthless and effective, as he subtlety charms his victim before he springs the trap.
Logan's newest assignment, Jillian Ingalls, is another disaffected young woman on the run from her heartless lover, Christopher Hurst. Completely out of character, she takes off on a cross-country bike trip with Christopher's estranged son, Johnny Gold. They move from one wild sexual fling to another... from group sex to gangbangs to kinky ritual orgies at a country pleasure faire until they land in LA flat broke. On her tail for weeks, Logan finally finds her in a beach cafe waiting tables in the steamy LA heat. The wary woman is intrigued by the man's mesmerizing allure, and before she can wrestle from his grasp, she's shackled in the back of his truck, heading out of town on another cross-country trek toward her ominous future.
Strange things begin to happen between this pair of sexual deviants... as the chemistry between them dangerously ignites. Is it possible that his icy heart has begun to melt? It becomes clear that before he deposits Miss Ingalls in Christopher's dungeon, he'll need to make a choice - keep the sexy slut for his own use, giving up his hefty fee, or, licking his lips with relish, throw her to the wolf and watch her suffer.
This exploration of dominant/submissive sexuality also includes consensual sex, spanking, heavy bondage, pain, public humiliation, anal sex, and punishment enemas among its extreme content.

The Bounty Hunter by Lizbeth Dusseau
Reviewed by Tobias Tanner
Jillian Ingalls serves and services her stepfather. He is harsh and cold, a man who uses her cruelly, without pity or regret, and worse, with contempt. She craves the dominance, but cannot tolerate the disrespect. Such abuse is corrosive, and finally drives Jill out on her own—at least as alone as a woman of her nature can be. It does not occur to her that it is a decision she has no right to make, and she becomes the objective of a professional bounty hunter.
Logan Dunn is that professional, a hard man in a hard business, who uses his own dominant nature to provide a service. His job is to track down the runaway slaves and bring them home for the punishment that awaits them. He likes the work. Slaves are a commodity to him, a source of income. His connections allow him access where other men have none. Logan has his own code of ethics, and his sense of fairness within the context of their world sends him along a quite unexpected pathway with his quarry.
The book is well crafted and its characters fully developed. Dominance and submission are the norm, not the exception, and the players are not hesitant or surprised by their involvement. These are serious folks, and they play for keeps. It is a refreshing change of pace to come upon a tidy story about people who get right to business and don't waste time explaining or making excuses. Point of view changes help to increase the novel's depth, although the primary character is a deeply submissive woman (a common Duseau theme) who carries the story well.
If you like beatings and bondage and branded thighs, then this one will suit you, and I recommend it with no reservation whatsoever. There is anal sex galore, public nudity, humiliation, and enough angst and anguish to please anyone. Then there is that hot soapy enema spiced with a dried mixture of ground Mexican peppers. Does it get any better than that? I don't know, but I sure plan to ask Jill and her Bounty Hunter, if I ever run into them.

Why I Teach
Kathleen Elliott Vinson
Suffolk University Law School
September 24, 2009
The Law Teacher, Vol. XIV, No. 2, p. 16, 2007
When discussing learning in the context of academia, most people would think of students learning from the teacher but great teaching moments occur when a teacher reflects on what she has learned from the other side of the podium, from student to teacher. Teaching is not a one way linear approach, but rather is recursive and reflective for both student and teacher. In the end, the knowledge that a teacher has shared with her students may be as great as the knowledge that she has gained from them.

GRAND RAPIDS -- The Arena Football League has tentatively scheduled a conference call for 6 p.m. Wednesday among its 16 franchises to discuss several options regarding the 2009 season, including the possibility of suspending operations for a year, The Press has learned.
No decision, though, had been reached, according to Scott Gorsline, COO of the Grand Rapids Rampage, and Rampage general manager Scott Woodruff, who disputed a published report in the Kansas City Star on Wednesday that indicated the league and AFL players union had agreed to call off the upcoming season.
"The reality is a lot of things are being discussed right now," Gorsline said. "We're all preparing for different contingencies. We all hear things are up in the air. The rumor mill is very active right now. Until there is a board call, nothing is a done deal.
• AFL hasn't canceled season yet, talks continue
• Mayo: Strong ownership keeps AFL alive for now
• AFL players agree to salary cut to help league
• Mayo: NFL owners turning their back on AFL
• Rampage owner DeVos optimistic about AFL's future
• Rampage GM hasn't heard of AFL's demise
"I expect there will be some resolution to it by the end of the week."
He confirmed that suspending operations until 2010 is one of the possibilities.
"It is fair to assume this is one of the possible scenarios," Gorsline said. "The goal here is to fix what has been a broken economic model for the league for the last few years. It has been broken for a number of teams. We're trying to stabilize this league for the long term."
It is expected a vote to suspend operations would require approval of at least three quarters of the teams.
Rampage owner Dan DeVos told The Press on Tuesday night he has instructed his staff to continue preparations for the upcoming season.
The report in the Star, as well as an unattributed post on the Rocky Mountain News' Web site late Tuesday night, indicated the AFL players had agreed to call off the 2009 season pending a vote of the board of directors.
"It's pretty much a done deal to suspend the 2009 season. We plan to start up again in 2010," Pete Likens, director of communications for the Kansas City Brigade, told the Star.
It continues to be an unsettling situation, Woodruff said.
"You don't really know what's going to happen," he said. "We're going to have to wait and see what happens tomorrow."

CARSON CITY, Nev. Walter Samaszko Jr. was a loner whose death went largely unnoticed. That all changed when a crew sent to clean out his house found a fortune stashed away in the garage of his modest ranch-style home.
There were ammunition boxes stuffed with thousands of gold coins, from Austria, Mexico and the United States. There was enough gold to fill up two wheelbarrows more than $7.4 million worth.
There was every kind of coin you could think of, said Alan Glover, the Carson City clerk and the public administrator of the estate who borrowed a neighbors wheelbarrow to haul the treasure out.
City officials searched through records to find an heir: a substitute teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area who a judge declared Tuesday was Samaszkos lone surviving first cousin.
The decision means Arlene Magdanz of San Rafael, Calif., is a millionaire. She didnt attend the hearing and, so far, has not said anything publicly about her newfound fortune.
Officials were able to track her down using a funeral bulletin at Samaszkos home that led to his fathers service in Chicago in the early 1960s, and then newspaper clippings that listed survivors.
When a lawyer told her that her 69-year-old cousins estate was valued in the millions, officials said, she was surprised, just like everyone else, including his neighbors on their quiet street.
No one seemed to know him at all, even though he had lived in the house since the 1960s. His mother lived with him until her death in 1992. When he died, the house was generally well kept.
I dont think I saw him in the year I was out here, said Curtis Hastings, who dropped mail into a slot in Samaszkos garage. A woman who lived just two doors down said she didnt know him.
Samaszkos body was found in June after neighbors called authorities, though it was not clear what prompted them to do so. He had been dead of heart problems for at least a month, according to the coroner.
Officials dont know what Samaszko did for a living. They also dont know how he earned the money that was used to buy the gold.

How do you say "brace yourself" in Italian?
Jersey Shore's season 4 premiere is less than a month away – and now PEOPLE.com has your first look at an official cast photo, and it appears they're not holding anything back.
In the shot, the cast gets all glammed-up for a late-night run through the streets of Florence, Italy, where they filmed the show starting in May. (It must have been a short stay, though. They were already back in Seaside Heights, N.J., by the end of June and hard at work at season 5.) The season begins Aug. 4 on MTV (10 p.m. ET).
As for the drama on the show, Snooki apparently crashed her car into a police car – the same police officer hired to protect her and her cohort. She also worried about her weight (and diet) while filming in Italy.
"All we're gonna eat is pasta," she told PEOPLE before departing. "We're all gonna get fat."
Nothing like a barefoot jaunt to work off some calories.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - Early last season, Josh Johnson approached Rich Dubee at Citizens Bank Park with a modest request. The Marlins ace asked the Phillies pitching coach if he could stand and observe one of Roy Halladay's bullpen sessions.
Dubee turned to Halladay for permission.
"He told me, 'You can stay,' " Johnson recalled Monday. "I watched pretty intently."
Comparisons between Halladay and Johnson will continue as long as both carve through the National League. And because these two teams face each other 18 times a season, there is an off chance that baseball fans everywhere will be treated to a pairing of the two like Tuesday night.

Although Matt McGloin may not be the greatest quarterback in Penn State history, the fifth-year senior is the man who has been tasked to lead the Lions through their most trying time as a football team.
Whether it was trying to earn a football scholarship in high school or beating out Rob Bolden for the No. 1 job in 2011, the Scranton-native has endured all sorts of adversity throughout his football career.
However, McGloin has what it takes to help lead the Lions to not just wins, but a rebirth of the Penn State football program.
With that, let's take a look at what you need to know about quarterback Matt McGloin.

My lab studies natural genetic variation of aging and reproduction. Most of our research is focused on the fruit fly, but we also have ongoing studies on aging in marmosets and dogs. We use a diversity of approaches in our lab, including molecular and quantitative genetics, evolutionary theory, and systems biology methods to construct and analyze genetic and metabolomic networks. Among the current projects in the lab are 1) a study on the role that insulin signaling plays in determining how age affects mate attractiveness and mate preference; 2) the use of metabolomic profiling to identify novel aging-associated pathways; 3) identification of natural genetic modifiers of neurodegenerative disease in Drosophila; 4) studies on the molecular basis of sex differences in longevity; and 5) developing the fly as a model for pharmacogenomic studies.

Non-native English speakers who have been through English-proficiency programs at local public schools scored higher than their native-English-speaking peers on the California High School Exit Exam, recently released numbers show.
Santa Clarita Valley students who have been designated "proficient" after succeeding in the program scored a 95 percent pass rate on the exit exam among those 10th graders who passed on the first try, compared to a 92 percent score for those who did not take the programs aimed at teaching English to students with other native languages, according to numbers released by the state Department of Education.
Although the exit exam is designed to measure how well instruction is matching the state's standards at completion of high school, schools give it to 10th graders so problems can be remedied before students have to pass the test to receive a diploma.
The success rate of students who have passed through the English proficiency programs is a reflection of efforts at multiple grade levels, Santa Clarita Valley educators say.
English instruction is approached at a variety of different ways, said Lisa Bloom, director of instruction and special projects for the Castaic Union School District.
Some of these ways are set by the state, others determined by districts, and some outreach is handled on site, Bloom said.
In the case of the William S. Hart Union High School District, "We have (English-language development) courses, we have (English-language) support intervention, we work really hard to help our (English-language) students learn English and stay current with the content standards," said Dave LeBarron, director of curriculum.
Keeping up
"We're commissioned to do two things," LeBarron said, discussing the curriculum for the Hart district's approximately 2,100 English-language learners. "One is to learn to help students to become proficient in English, and the other is to keep them proficient in their grade-level content standard."
The state determines standardized levels for English comprehension, which categorizes students into five levels of English-language development. The levels are determined by the California English Language Development Test, which students not proficient in English take annually.
Different districts have different means for following the progress of students once their level of proficiency is determined.
Some districts put certain time requirements on the portion of classroom time devoted to English acquisition when it's needed. Approximately 30 minutes of daily language instruction is usually the minimum, educators said.
How the lessons are taught depends on the language levels of students in class, Bloom said. Hart district students may take the courses as electives.
Schools try to keep students together with their regular classes as often as possible, so they don't miss out on the rest of their curriculum, LeBarron said
How it's taught
"They start out by learning conversational English for the playground — what they eat, what they wear, what they need to play and interact," said Christine Hamlin, assistant superintendent of instruction for Saugus Union School District, which had 1,280 English-language learners last year.
A more academic curriculum is gradually eased in once the teacher thinks a student is ready, she said.
The Newhall School District had 2,069 English-language-learning students last year, almost 30 percent of its roughly 7,000 enrollment.
"Probably our best results we've had from the staff is development in-house through our Guided Language Acquisition Design program," said Nancy Copley, assistant superintendent of instructional services for the Newhall district.
The teachers will look at which methods are particularly effective during a weeklong training session scheduled when students are not in class.
Monthly workshops give teachers a chance to re-evaluate their strategies based on what the educators have learned, she said.
In addition to the state-mandated test standard, Castaic district officials created a benchmark test, which they give to students three times a year, said Bloom.
The Castaic district had 320 English-language learners last year, roughly 10 percent of its student population.
Other support
Serving the English-language-learning community also can involve after-school programs, said Cynthia Seamands, principal of Live Oak Elementary School in Castaic.
Her school takes in students from Val Verde, an area with a high population of English-language learners, she said.
Last year, she began an after-school homework club at Val Verde Park led by two teachers who are trained in bilingual education, she said.
Another significant difference has been the school's work with the nonprofit Latino Family Literacy Project.
The goal is to reach out to parents in these communities where the language barrier may be especially significant. By supplying bilingual books and support, the program doesn't just improve English literacy, it encourages parents to take a more active role in a child's education, Seamands said.
"They have to feel it, and understandably, school hasn't always been a super-comfortable place (for English-language learners) — it can be a bit intimidating," Seamands said.
"We have to understand (parents') timidity, and we have to reach out as much as possible, and (teach) that they're a vital part and that they can play an important role, whether or not they are (English) literate."

Pair charged in Erie convenience store break-in (Updated: 3:02 p.m.)
Two Erie men were arraigned this afternoon on charges of breaking into a westside convenience store and stealing cigarettes this morning.
Jeremy A. McCall, 18, of the 2000 block of Plum Street, was arraigned by Erie 5th Ward District Judge Joseph Lefaiver on charges of burglary, theft, criminal mischief and receiving stolen property.
Justin A. Wiley, 21, of the 600 block of Brown Avenue, was arraigned by Lefaiver on charges of burglary and criminal conspiracy.
Both were placed in the Erie County Prison on 10 percent of $25,000 bond.
Erie police accuse the pair of breaking out windows to enter the Country Fair at 803 Brown Ave. shortly after 5 a.m. Multiple packs of cigarettes were stolen, according to the criminal complaints filed in the case.

An invasion of stinging fire ants with a taste for peanut butter and Spam and only as long as the thickness of a penny could be gaining a foothold on Maui, threatening the island's lifeblood visitor industry.
Yet, there has been little public response to a Dec. 31 report from the state Department of Agriculture that colonies of the ants have apparently hitchhiked from the Big Island to Maui and Oahu in a Dec. 11 shipment of Hawaiian tree ferns (hapuu) to garden shops.
An infestation of the ants was found at a Maui garden shop on Dec. 23. At least two stores and one shipping company were affected.

Efforts are underway to prevent the little fire ant from taking hold on Maui. The ant was discovered Dec. 23 at a garden shop on Maui.
Hawaii Department of Agriculture photo
Darcy Oishi, acting Plant Pest Quarantine Branch chief, said that the report of little fire ants being found on Maui and Oahu may have gotten overlooked because island residents were occupied with New Year's celebrations.
Agriculture Department officials have received only "a few reports" of possible ant infestations since the news broke at the end of last year.
"That's not anywhere near what we were hoping to get," he said. "It is frightening. . . . We really need to get engagement from the public that this is a serious issue."
Maui Invasive Species Committee public relations and education specialist Lissa Strohecker said that her group has done surveys at garden shops to check for the little fire ant but found nothing as of late last week.
"We haven't seen anything suspicious," she said.
Maui Invasive Species Committee's primary focus is to encourage people who've purchased hapuu to put it in a plastic garbage bag and take it to Agriculture Department officials, she said.
"Public awareness is the key to detecting it early," she said.
State officials want to isolate areas where the little fire ants might have been introduced to try to stop them from spreading, Oishi said.
The nightmare scenario is for the little fire ant to get well established, stinging visitors while they're sunbathing at the beach, hiking or visiting waterfalls. The ant also jeopardizes Hawaii's $88 billion agriculture industry, according to a Maui Invasive Species Committee website. Fruit orchards and coffee farms on the Big Island already have lost employees because of the stinging ants.
Maui Invasive Species Committee will show a film, "Invasion: Little Fire Ants in Hawaii," at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the McCoy Theater at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. The half-hour film by Masako Cordray and Chris Reickert "examines the biology, impacts and potential solutions to the spread of little fire ants through interviews with scientists, farmers and community on the Big Island reeling from the impacts of this miniscule, but devastating, ant."
In 2009, an infestation of little fire ants was found on a farm in Waihee, but officials were apparently able to stop the ants there. Now, with the ants being carried in products in retail sales, "the ripple effects of this are quite profound," Oishi said. "It's magnifying the problem a hundred fold."
People are potentially buying products with ants in them, taking them home and perhaps giving them away, he said.
"The more you think about it, the more headaches you get," he said.
At one garden store on Maui where the little fire ants were found, state officials know 11 pieces of hapuu were sold, Oishi said last week. But state officials received calls from only four of the consumers who purchased them.
That means there's at least seven other pieces of hapuu that have not been found and may contain little fire ants, he said.
At least one other garden store sold the infected hapuu, but state officials are not sure how many sales were made from that store, Oishi said.
Because the ants are so small as to be almost invisible or indistinguishable from other, similar-looking ants, the invasion of the little fire ants is stealthy, he said.
"You could be carrying it around and spreading it. . . . You may never know," he said.
To check for the presence of little fire ants, Oishi suggests residents smear a little peanut butter on a chopstick (the ants also favor Spam, but it's more expensive) and put it near the base of a live fern or a suspect plant and leave it there for at least half an hour. By then, there likely will be a number of different ant species on the chopstick.
Then, seal the chopstick with the ants in a zip-lock bag and put it in the freezer for a day, he said. That kills the ants. Then, call the state Agriculture Department officials to check if some of the ants are little fire ants.
The phone number of the department's Plant Quarantine Branch in Kahului is 872-3848. The branch is open weekdays from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Maui Invasive Species Committee phone number is 573-6472.
There's no easy way for a layperson to determine if the ants are little fire ants because there's a couple other small ant species that also are orange, Oishi said.
The sealed bag should be accompanied by a piece of paper with contact information for the resident; where and when the sample of ants was taken; what plants were nearby; and any other significant information, such as whether someone has been stung by the ants, Oishi said.
The ants prefer moist, humid environments, such as windward areas like Haiku, he said. The ants would be unlikely to thrive in dry Kihei, although a well-watered lawn in South Maui would make a cozy habitat for them.
"They could be quite happy out there, and quite happy in a home, too," Oishi said. In homes, ants would favor a damp area, like a leaky faucet, he added.
If state officials locate an area infested with the ants, they would treat it with insecticide in granule or liquid forms, with the aim of killing the queen of the ant colony, he said.
The ant is described as being "slow moving," but that doesn't necessarily make it easier to control or kill, Oishi said. "It would be a great thing if it were so small. . . . Two colonies could live in (an area the size of) a golf ball."
The ants sting with formic acid when they're agitated, such as when they get caught between a person's neck and shirt collar, he said.
Considered one of the world's worst invasive species, the ant was discovered last month by a customer at a garden shop on Maui, officials said. The ant was reported to the Maui Invasive Species Committee, which sent specimens to department entomologists who confirmed the identification.
The pale orange ant originates from South America. It is only 1/16th of an inch long and moves slowly, unlike the tropical fire ant already established in Hawaii. Colonies can be found on the ground, trees and other vegetation and can "freely move into homes," the Agriculture Department said.
The invasive ants are attracted to moisture and will crawl into the eyes of animals and sting them after the animal reacts, Oishi said. There has been an increase in blind cats and dogs on the Big Island due to the ants.
The ants can deliver painful stings to humans, leaving large red welts on the skin.
The tiny ant was first detected in the state on the Big Island in 1999. Surveys determined that the ant was on the east side for several years before detection and was widely distributed in the Puna area, the department said.

FLINT, Michigan -- Cheboygan Memorial Hospital has proposed an expedited sale to Flint-based McLaren Health Care Corp., according to a report in the Cheboygan Daily Tribune.
The newspaper reported that the aim of the proposal is to keep the facility open and officials want a sale before March 23.
Cheboygan Memorial Hospital said earlier this month that it was filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after losing more than $7 million last year.
McLaren agreed to provide a loan at that time so that the hospital could continue running during the bankruptcy reorganization.
Cheboygan Memorial is the largest employer in Cheboygan County with a staff of about 400, according to published reports.

• Twenty-nine anaerobic isolates were recovered from 28 pediatric patients with anaerobic bacteremia: 14 Bacteroides sp (11 in the B fragilis group); four anaerobic Gram-positive cocci; four Clostridium sp; four Propionibacterium acnes; and three Fusobacterium sp. No aerobic bacteria were isolated from these patients. The gastrointestinal tract was the possible portal of entry in 13 instances, eight of which were due to Bacteroides organisms, four to Clostridium sp, and one to F nucleatum. The ear, sinus, and oropharynx were probable portals of entry in seven instances, four of which were due to Peptococcus sp and two to Fusobacterium sp. Five patients (18%) died; four had bacteremia caused by B fragilis group, and one had bacteremia caused by P acnes. The average duration of antimicrobial therapy was 20 days (range, seven to 72 days). The early recognition and rapid institution of appropriate antimicrobial and surgical therapy are of utmost importance in improving the outcome of these patients.

The last day of twenty - 11!
Its been a year of good and bad memories, love and sadness, joy and sorrow. There have been hard experiences and cheers of victory.
All in all its been a year of learning and coping.
But two words I could use to summarize:
'love and attitude' - that's what helped me through.
After all my one little word for this year was attitude!
2 words that dont normally go together - but for me they do.
I have learn that sometimes you need to walk away from things that are bad and walk towards the good things that are going to fill you with love. Its those things that have helped me be who I am today. It has been tough for me at times adjusting to a family of 4, battling with exhaustion for months, giving birth to a baby while your home is being flood, having a husband that worked lots of weekends and big hours, a year of staying home and one little holiday/break... but with the right attitude and heart full of love, all those things have made me stronger.
I still today, would not change a thing.
Twenty-11 you were kind to me - I {heart} you!
PS I have notebook and pen beside.. scribbling done some scrappy goals -want to know?

This phenomenon of "regression toward the mean" with regard to height in parents and offspring was first documented and explained by Sir Francis Galton (mathematician/statistician) in 1886. You can read about this statistical concept on Wiki Regression toward the mean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Everything in moderation, including moderation.
Even if I don't get much taller, still getting healthier.
Again, thanks for the posts~!
My dad was 6', my mom was 4'11.5" (lol), and I am around 5'7". It's interesting though because height is just one measure of 'size'. I have a pretty good wingspan for my height, and I can eat more food than anybody I've known in my entire life. Genes are interesting...
Ladies: I'm barely 5'0"... on a good day. Exact same height as my mama. (Daddy was 6'2"!) I have also learned to live with being petite and don't mind it at all (well, it's all I've ever known/I was always the first in line in kindergarten when they lined you up according to height). But if you would like the appearance of being taller and longer, I highly recommend barre3 classes.

"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." -- Hippocrates
I disagree with all this spine lengthening. If you want a longass midsection, be my guest. The true advantages of being bigger are longer arms & legs. You have longer levers to do things. Having a really long spine does nothing for you. In fact, it looks weird and is probably not healthy.
Our spines are actually really compressed from all the unnatural/unhealthy sitting we do. Also, with the type of exercise I'm talking about above, you also begin to hold your chest, shoulders, neck, and head differently.... in addition to opening the hips up. I was walking noticeably different after just one class. It's a common comment.
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." -- Hippocrates
I always feel slightly taller for next couple of days after a massage - I really think I'm a little hunched over in the neck and shoulders so much of the time because of tight muscles and spending too much time at the computer. I should measure and see if there's a subtle difference.
Tiger Lilly, rock on with your petite self. My mom is 5'1" and so I always wanted to be shorter. I'm 5'10 and my dad was 6'8"!
I don't mind being at a petite 5'4", but it's extremely annoying when I go shopping for clothes because I am really limited to the pants that I can buy. Since I have a shorter leg to torso ratio, a regular pair of pants is usually too long for me. On the other hand, it makes snatching at the gym a lot easier than for most
My mom is 5'6, my dad is 5'9. My older brother is only 5'8, but we think his height may have compromised because he had an undiagnosed parasitic issue (giardia) through most of his teen years. I'm 5'7, pretty good for a girl, and my younger brother is 6' (which kills my big brother!)
After reading Weston A. Price, I've definitely noticed height differences in sibling sets. The second or third brother tends to be shorter than the oldest when there's not much of an age gap. When there is a considerable age gap, the younger siblings are often the same height or even taller than the oldest. My tall younger brother was a late surprise... mom had plenty of time to build her nutrient stores back up!
There's also strong evidence that nutrition in pregnancy has a big effect on future height... this article talks about the Hunger Winter during WWII (it's about halfway through) and the future height/health of kids whose mothers starved during pregnancy... really interesting.

The play was terrible. The actors were great, music was great and set was wonderful...but the writing was so horrible no one could connect to these characters nor believe anything they said was real.

Zatman is part of UR's -Guide to Winning without Skill, Strategy or Experience
Just laydown any number of pills you like, 2 or 3 maybe even four if you like
counting and strategy is for shmucks
it doesnt really matter how many you lay down, youre going to win anyways Buddy boy
either they didnt lay enough and get crushed or layed to many and cant catch up
be cautious though, sometimes the good ones beat you by one pill exactly
but dont fret, you still have Nellie, Oxen, Dorian, Ruby, or Jackie in your reserves
As a added bonus, we added a minus two on almost all the clans with attack manipulation
and for the ones we didnt , not a problem because their cards' damage or power is much more inferior to your own
if they make even a single mistake gameplay wise, you'll crush them
as long as you only play mono Uppers in T1, youll do just fine (fixes glasses)
I mean sure, Uppers arent impossible to beat. Ive beaten many
but honestly, how often do you lose with Jackie, Zateman, and 5* of choice in your deck
its cheap, its not fair, and its disgraceful to real players with an actual strategy
They are the equivalent of the Douchebag that only uses the RocketLauncher in your favorite first person shooter
Yeah, eventually you kill the guy. Maybe even develop a handy strategy to take care of that problem exactly. Possibly even win the entire match all together with your devilish expertise. But occasionally you'll slip up, and GOD is it annoying.
[-Another Project Soul profile Guide-]
This pretty much covers everything about this card:
Name: Zatman Type: Uncommon Value: $X000 ?
Ability at lvl 3: -4 atk min 1
Lv1 8/1
Lv2 8/2
Lv3 8/4 -4 atk min1
First name: Patrick
Zatman Rhymes with: Batman and Catwoman
Parody: Patrick Bateman from American Psycho
Clan: Uppers
Bonus: -10 atk min 3
Cards Similiar to Zatman: Nanook, Tyd, Noodile
Mono Deck: No difference
Leaders power ups:
Ambre (R) = 11/4
Hugo (R)= 8/4 + 6 attack
Timber (R)= 8/5
PROS: The second strongest 3 star card, strongest would have to be Lyse Teria with her bonus active, but with 1 pill each Zatman can still win with his bonus. Take a look:
Lyse Teria : SOA 8/4 -12 atk min 8
Zatman: -4 atk min 1 8/4 -10 atk min 3
SOA stops Zatmans Ability.
1 pill each make them both 16.
-12 atk min 8 will make Zatman 8 Attack = Because min 8
-10 atk min 3 will make Lyse Teria 6 attack = Because min 3
Whats good about Zatman is if you up against a card with 7/X you already have a 2 pill lead with -14 atk.
Zatman is also playable at all levels with his 8 power stat for each level, but there would be no point in that any more since his banned from elo. However his excellent for type One.
CONS: Banned from elo, Expensive for some
Two hit combo with: Jeeves 6/8 , Zlatar 3/8 , Gina Glitt 1/8
Two hit combo with fury with: Jim Cr 4/6 , Jackie 8/6, Rubie 5/6 , Nellie 5/6
-a.k.a. "the wall"
-one of the best 3star cards ever..(the best 3star in Uppers)
-it has 8 power and 4 damage (6 with fury,can reduce opp life to half) and..it has the Uppers' bonus of -10 attack min.3 with an additional ability further reducing opp attack -4 min.1
-that alone can reduce opp attack to a measly 1..
-almost always forces opponents to use pillz because of that or defend and/or block with damage reducers
-definitely a must have in any Uppers deck
-the level 3 art lacks something..(an "S" Mark in the chest)
You know what's funny?
Christian Bale, the guy who played as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, has also played as Batman in The Dark Knight.
So, when people say that Zatman was based off Batman, technically, they are not mistaken.
Zatman, the 2nd best wall to venture Urban Rivals as of 8/17/2011
Description: Zatman is useable at lvl 1, lvl 2, and lvl 3. He sees most use as a lvl 3 card, and he is one of the ultimate walls to ever come to Urban Rivals. He is one of the reasons that Uppers are feared and loved among Urban Rivals.
8 Power: Oh yeah, 8 power. This is the highest base power you can achieve. This is great for fighting major threats, and any Stop opp abilities, Stop opp bonus, or full stops.
-4 opp. attack, min. 1: Think about it. You're going to add both the bonus, then this.... thats a total of -14 opp attack.... 5 pillz with Zatman kills any 7 powered cards without any battle support with 7 pillz. Amazing
-10 opp. attack, min. 3: This is miraculous with the ability, and they work in complete synergy. Makes people not even want to pill against the Zatman!
4 Damage: You're expecting a card with all this offensive buff to have low damage right? You're wrong! He has 4 Damage! This makes it more amazing than ever before!
Defensive-Capabilities: Even if this is an Offensive beast, Look at his defensive capabilities. He can stop almost every single card in UR, and not many cards can claim that.
There's no such thing.
Overall: 10/10
Why does this card deserve 10/10? This card can Defend, Attack, Bluff, Go through all battle situations, and destroy any card that even comes in contact with it. He can stop cards like Hawk, Jackie Cr, Tan Man, and more.... he is a well deserved 10/10
Asian Republic
Best 1* filler ever.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, Zatman!
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, Zatman!
Zatman, Zatman, Zatman!
American Psycho
Check out this awesome preset with Zatman :
i know hes good, but i dont understand his price anymore, hes been in the game for ages as just an uncommon so there has got to be tons of him floating around, and his best attribute (being 3 stars) combined with the fact hes only playable in T2 Survivor where there is no good reason to use lower star cards makes him honestly never the best choice for any deck he can play in anymore.
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the Zatman

Product Reviews
NinaNY, NYAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5A book for one who seeks inner transformationOctober 3, 2012NinaNY, NYAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I received the book from a friend because I was going to facilitate a study on the life of Abraham. It has personally influenced my walk with God. I have underlined just about a line on every page. For those inner secret parts of the self - change is really difficult without complete submission to God. MacDonald says that the Biblical Person needs to be going through conversion every day of his or her life. And then to be reminded that just like Abraham, Moses and Paul, the journey is one that does not happen overnight and it is not without hardships. But the reward is sweet and the blessings are bountiful. It begins with leaving, continues on with following, and culminates in reaching. A great read - I highly recommend this.
David R. Bess3 Stars Out Of 5May 9, 2009David R. BessThis review was written for Mid-Course Correction: Re-Ordering Your Private World for the Next Part of Your Journey.When reading the title, the impression many potential readers will have is, "I have been in the Lord's service for years, but I sense God taking me in a new and different life direction. Surely this book will have some detailed answers." MacDonald does offer some basic insights, but he fails to develop them well. The author looks back to the life of Abraham and other Biblical characters for guidance as to how God may lead us to change mid-course in our lives. The three ideas he seeks to develop through the book are leave, follow and reach.For those to whom God offers mid-course correction, the first thing He does is to call them to leave something. Just as Abraham was called to leave Haran, so we may be called to leave something with which we are very familiar. The second thing God does is to require them to follow. Abraham had to follow God in his journey of life, growing deeper and deeper in character. He was changed into someone who learned to rely more and more on God and less and less upon himself. So we too, once we leave something, must follow God as he refines and strengthens godly character within us. The third thing God does is to compel them to reach. Abraham was never content with the status quo, but was always reaching for more of what God desired for him. The Apostle Paul also was one who pressed forward toward the mark, willing to strain and to stretch to become more of God's man. So we too much always be reaching and yearning to stretch for all God has for us.The threefold theme of this book is very helpful -- leave, follow, and reach. Many of the stories used and the comments made to develop the theme however, lack clarity. MacDonald sets the bar very high with "Ordering Your Private World." This title falls short of that standard, so despite its good insights it is disappointing.

Nicki Minaj Speaks On Grammy Performance, While Lil Kim Reacts
Despite the controversy surrounding her recent Grammy performance, Nicki Minaj has far more pressing issues to address.
During her appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America" yesterday (February 15) the YMCMB rapstress—alongside fellow spokesman Ricky Martin— spoke on her latest partnership with M.A.C Cosmetics that is set to raise awareness on the fight against HIV/AIDS. As the newest spokeswoman for M.A.C AIDS Fund VIVA GLAM campaign—which has raised about $236 million— Nicki, revealed how much of a personal connection she has to the campaign due to her uncle passing away from AIDS in her homeland of Trinidad.
The Young Money diva also had a chance to discuss her infamous Grammy performance telling ABC's Robin Roberts that, "First of all I created these characters Martha and Roman over two years ago and I never had a format to really put them in front of the world so, when I was at the Grammys I said 'You know what, this is a great way to show who Roman is.'"
"I wrote the song and envisioned it being in a monastery because Roman gets shipped away [there] by his mother who thinks there's something wrong with him and in fact there's nothing wrong with him being different…being eccentric. I wanted to show how ridiculous people look when they try to change someone just because they're creative [and] different."
In other news, Nicki's foe Lil Kim stopped by Bravo TV's Watch What Happens Live show last night where she was asked about Minaj's Grammy performance responding with, "I'm pretty sure I feel the way everybody else feels right now." It didn't stop there however, the Queen Bee also gave her thoughts on Nicki's "Stupid Hoe" record, which is supposedly aimed at the Brooklyn femcee. "If you have to make a song called 'Stupid Hoe,'" Kim said, "you must be a 'Stupid Hoe.'"
As of press time, the two femcees have recently released their latest singles, with Kim's "If You Love Me" and Nicki's "Starships."—Ralph Bristout

Kendrea Williams stepped into her first shot of the night, and it appeared she knocked down a 3-pointer. The referees ruled it a 2-pointer, but Williams would make up for it.
Williams drained her next three shots, all from behind the arc, giving her 11 of her game-high and career-high 27 points in the first quarter to pace second-seeded Piscataway to a 62-48 victory against third-seeded Monroe in the semifinals of the Greater Middlesex Conference Tournament last night in Monmouth Junction.
In the second semifinal, 12th-seeded Bishop Ahr knocked off top-seeded East Brunswick, 41-35. Defending champion Piscataway and Bishop Ahr will meet for the GMCT championship on Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Rutgers Athletic Center in Piscataway.
Williams finished with five 3-pointers on the night and she added three rebounds. Her fast shooting start helped set the tone for what Piscataway coach Corey Floyd called the team's best offensive showing of the season.
"I wanted us to get a lead, start early, so we could get on top quick," Williams said. "This just motivates us to keep going, so we could get back to the RAC."
Alongside Williams, senior Kiki Bynes found her scoring touch early. The reigning GMCT MVP scored 23 points, including 12 in the second half when Piscataway pulled away.
After Monroe cut Piscataway's lead to one point early in the third quarter, Bynes knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers, setting the tone for a 19-6 run to open the second half.
"In the locker room, we discussed that they were a running team just like us. They were getting it and going, and we weren't really used to that," Bynes said. "So playing against a team like that, we had to run just as much as them."
Monroe hit back-to-back 3-pointers to open the fourth quarter, pulling within 10 points, but Piscataway would not led its lead shrink anymore. Williams and Bynes combined for 11 points in the final eight minutes.
After Williams played a key role in Piscataway's tournament title as a freshman, Floyd said the sophomore has brought a new level of confidence to her play this season.
"What we try to run our offense off of is Kiki and (Taylor) Nelson driving the gaps and kicking to the wing," Floyd said. "You have to credit (Bynes and Nelson) because they're giving up their own shots and Williams is lighting it up."
Following its comeback victory in the quarterfinals, Bishop Ahr carried that momentum into a fast start in the semifinals against East Brunswick. Brianna Foster hit a layup off a pick-and-roll, giving her Bishop Ahr an early 8-2 advantage.
But East Brunswick quickly bounced back, taking an 11-10 lead into the second quarter. After being held scoreless in the first eight minutes, sophomore Jenna Harsh emerged for Bishop Ahr, scoring seven points in the second quarter to help her team build a four-point lead going into the half, and Bishop Ahr never surrendered it.
Lauren Barlow finished with 13 points to lead Bishop Ahr, while Harsh netted 12 points. Foster added seven points and 16 rebounds. Julia Simoes led East Brunswick with 10 points, while Dayna Sclafani scored eight points and grabbed 11 rebounds.

Maui's Texeira signs with Braves, sent to Triple-A
June 30, 2014 - Robert Collias
Mauian Kanekoa Texeira signed with the Atlanta Braves last week after a solid start to the season with the Bridgeport Bluefish of the independent Atlantic Association, where he started the season 3-2 with a 3.31 ERA (19 ER in 51.2 IP) in nine starts.
He was immediately sent to Triple-A Gwinnett of the International League.
Big Tex has been part of five different MLB organizations.
This from the link above, a story on the Gwinnett Braves website:
Originally selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 22nd round of the 2006 June free agent draft out of Saddleback College (Mission Viejo, CA), Texeira has pitched eight seasons across five different Major League organizations including the White Sox (2006-08), New York Yankees (2009, 2011), Seattle Mariners (2010), Kansas City Royals (2010-11) and Cincinnati Reds (2012-13). The Maui, HI native is 21-19 with a 3.06 ERA and 46 saves in 231 career minor league appearances. He's also made 49 Major League appearances with Seattle (2010) and Kansas City (2010-11), going 1-1 with a 4.66 ERA.
So far, the 2004 Kamehameha Kapalama graduate from Kula has appeared once for the G-Braves, on June 24 and allowing seven hits and two earned runs in 5 1/3 innings for a 3.38 ERA.
Here is a look at what Texeira has done in the major leagues.
We will keep up with Big Tex right here over the summer and perhaps get a story into the paper sometime soon.
