Special Victims Unit
|This article does not cite any sources. (April 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Special Victims Unit (SVU) is the name of a specialized division within some police departments. The detectives in this division typically investigate crimes involving sexual assault, the very young, or the very elderly, as well as any crime loosely connected with any of the three, all of which are considered especially heinous.
New York City Police Department[edit]
The New York City Police Department's Special Victims Division investigates sex crimes. It is housed in separate Borough Patrols (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island). The Special Victims Division only investigates the following types of cases:
- Any child under 11 years of age who is the victim of abuse by a parent or person legally responsible for the care of the child
- Any child under 13 years of age who is the victim of any sex crime or attempted sex crime
- Any victim of rape (all degrees) or attempted rape (all degrees)
- Any victim of a criminal sexual act (all degrees) or attempted criminal sexual act (all degrees)
- Victims of aggravated sexual abuse (all degrees)
- Victims of sexual abuse 1st degree
The Special Victims Division does not investigate any murder, robbery, or child pornography cases. Murders and robberies are investigated by precinct detective squads. If a sex crime is involved, the Special Victims Division may assist in the investigation. Child pornography is investigated by the NYPD Vice Enforcement Sexual Exploitation of Children Unit.
In popular culture[edit]
The television show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, the first spin-off in the Law & Order franchise, follows the cases of a fictional NYPD SVU division.
The television show Homicide: Life on the Street makes references to the Sex Crimes Unit, another name for Special Victims Unit.

SPRING MILLS - It had rained all day leading up tothe Martinsburg Bulldogs girls soccer game at Spring Mills Thursday night.
The rain got harder throughout the game.
Not only did rain pour from the sky, Bulldogs seniors Ali Miller and Jessica Foreman poured on a combined six goals against the Cardinals .

From left: Martinsburg Amber Butler (9), Spring Mills Brandi Thompkins(23), Spring Mills Natalie Comer (31) and Martinsburg Gillian Brown (4) work to control the ball during the first half.
Miller supplied four goals in Martinsburg's 7-4 victory on a very wet and soggy Spring Mills field.
"I was really pleased with their performance," Martinsburg coach Meredith Matczak. "In a sloppy game with sloppy conditions, I told the girls to be on their toes and be ready anything."
Neither team seemed to care for the field conditions early on. However, it was a goal by Foreman that turned Martinsburg's spirit around.
Foreman stole the ball off a kick by the keeper. She ran past one defender and was able to score easily with the keeper out of place to put the Bulldogs ahead 1-0.
Two minutes later, Miller got in on the scoring action when she was able to get past two defenders to put Martinsburg ahead by two.
The Cardinals responded quickly. Sydnei Taylor stole a sloppy Martinsburg pass, dribbled twice and scored.
Taylor scored again midway through the first half to tie the game 2-2. She was able to weave through the defense, a little slower than normally because of field conditions, and scored.
Six minutes later, Miller scored twice more, a hat trick in the first half, scoring her two goals with only one minute in between strikes.
Foreman set up Miller on both scores. The first goal of the set came from 25 yards away and the following score came in 20 yards from the net to make it 4-2.
"Its great playing with Jessica and being able to trust her so much," Miller said. "We trusted each other a lot. Every time I shot the ball, I said to myself 'I'm going to make it.'"
Miller scored her fourth goal of the game 12 minutes into the second half.
Foreman sent the pass from the middle of the field ahead and to the right of Miller. Miller ran down the ball, took it even wider to the right and scored from a tough angle to put the Bulldogs ahead 5-2.
"(Foreman and Miller) always have played well together," Matczak said. "It was one of those night where they were able to play off each other and set each other up. They played a heck of a game."
Three minutes later, Foreman scored her second goal. She received a pass from Miller and scored form the left side of the field after the slippery ball bounced through the keeper's hands.
Taylor scored in the 64th minute trying to get her team back into the game at 6-3, a hat trick for the freshman striker.
Alexis Reyes followed Taylor's goal with a score of her own less than five minutes later, narrowing the Bulldogs' lead to two.
Reyes kicked the ball into the net as she was sliding for the ball and as the Martinsburg keeper was attempting to gather the loose ball in front of the net.
Martinsburg pushed the lead back out to three when Gillian Brown scored, taking her shot off a high bounce, lofting her shot over the keeper.

Kenney: Pitt just recruited me away. Coming here meant I get to work at the Ridgeway Center, who are doing fantastic work in international studies.
Q: What's the biggest difference between working for Penn State and working for Pitt?
Kenney: Where I am now, we have more people, more faculty members, working on issues of international security and international relations more broadly. In Harrisburg, I felt more isolated, because fewer people shared my interest.
Q: What's the next big issue on the horizon? What will everyone be talking about?
Kenney: The reemergence of lone wolves, individuals who engage in acts of terrorism without support from larger organizations. The success on the counterterrorism side has led to more lone wolves. Also, cyber has been a great concern, but there's been fewer issues of cyberterrorism, which is different from cyber attacks. Here in the U.S., the reemergence of far-right groups - white supremacists, sovereign citizens - there's been an uptick.
Q: What's the biggest legal question our society is facing in counterterrorism?
Kenney: This ongoing challenge of how we balance our security with our civil liberties. What is the role of criminal courts? What is the right court for someone like Bin Laden's son-in-law? Guantanamo Bay is a legal black hole, an unresolved problem that speaks to our country's unresolved legal questions. We don't need to create nebulous categories like "enemy combatant" to deal with these people, they're not super men. They hit us really bad once, but that's no reason to give up all of our civil liberties.
Q: Anything else?
Kenney: I'm happy to be here in Pittsburgh.

From staff reports
HARRISBURG - A bill to assist schools in making up for missed time due to weather emergencies has moved to the Senate for consideration.
According to a press release issued by Ashley Albert, community liaison for state Sen. Jake Corman, Senate Bill 1281 was unanimously approved by the Senate Education Committee. The legislation would give schools the discretion to calculate the school year on an hourly, rather than daily basis, and permits schools to hold class one Saturday per month as needed.
"Over the course of this difficult winter, I have heard from schools across my district that additional flexibility will allow them to more effectively deal with scheduling issues caused by the inclement weather," Corman said in the release. "While we cannot control the weather that occurred,
we can provide school officials with the flexibility
to meet the state's instructional requirement."
The bill presented for consideration applies only to the 2013-2014 school year and mirrors legislation approved in 1996 in response to flooding in the northwestern part of the state.

Every year around this time, the Canadian media starts to push the idea of "Canada's Team." The theory is that Canadians should rally around the remaining Canadian team in the playoffs in hopes of bringing the Stanley Cup back to Canada. This year, that team is the Ottawa Senators.
Silver Seven Sens does a good job explaining how ridiculous this tradition is:
In Canada, the bandwagon experience takes on a strange distortion. Instead of picking a team because of a certain player, coach or back-story, Canadians on social media and throughout the mainstream media are encouraged to jump on the trolley and cheer for the only Canadian team left. All of a sudden, Canadian hockey fans are expected to support the 2011 Canucks, 2010 Canadiens, 2007 Senators and so forth. It's a curious reflex, a forced and awkward call-to-arms in favour of a sense of national pride and a need to stamp the Canadian flag (hopefully not just the Maple Leaf) on the Stanley Cup and, in turn, the sport of hockey. It's also something I could do without.
None of this matters anyway, because the Pittsburgh Penguins are "Canada's Team."
The Ottawa Senators' captain is Daniel Alfredsson. He's a fine captain, but the Pittsburgh Penguins' captain is Sidney Crosby. Yeah, that Sidney Crosby.
The guy who passed him the puck? Jarome Iginla, another Pittsburgh Penguin. Also on that team that brought gold to Canada? Brenden Morrow. And Marc-Andre Fleury. Who did the Senators have on that team? No one. When it comes to literally being a team of players who have competed for Canada, that team is the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Not enough evidence for you? How about the owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins, hockey legend Mario Lemieux? Yeah, that Mario Lemieux.
Still not convinced? Ask Calgary Flames fans. They'd love to see Iginla win the Cup. Ask Toronto Maple Leafs fans. They don't want to see their rivals, the Ottawa Senators, succeed. Montreal Canadiens fans feel the same way. That's three out of six remaining Canadian NHL fanbases. That's good enough for us.
Plus, according to Wikipedia, the Ottawa Senators have 16 Canadian players on their roster. The Pittsburgh Penguins have 17.
Craig Adams counts as Canadian here.
Do we seriously believe that Canadians should rally around the Pittsburgh Penguins? Not really. The idea of "Canada's Team" is ludicrous at best. It's like expecting Flyers fans to start cheering for the Penguins because they're "Pennsylvania's Team." It's not going to happen. And, really, it shouldn't happen.
But if an entire country was going to rally around a team, why not the Pittsburgh Penguins? It makes just as much sense as the Senators….

Coffee time!!! With a hit of caffeine these cookies are a perfect mid-afternoon pick-me-up. The base cookie dough isn't overly sweet so the sugar sprinkles are necessary to ensure the final coffee taste isn't too bitter.
Use decaf coffee if you'd prefer!

¾ Cup light Brown Sugar
¼ Cup Shortening
¼ Cup Margarine
¼ Cup very strong Espresso, at room temperature, OR dissolve 3 Tablespoons of Instant Coffee in ¼ Cup boiling Water

A Give-Away. Thanks Dad.
to give away to one lucky person!! (That would be Vegan with a Vengeance by Isa Chandra Moskowitz if you don't get the picture.)
I thought long and hard about how to structure this give-away. I've seen many where you have to become a blog follower (nice if you would), or a FB follower (it's HERE if you're interested), or link in twitter or other type thing, or answer some question or whatever, but in the end I decided that would be too much work.
If you want the book leave a comment. Any comment, about anything. Though this is a family friendly blog and any swears will get you disqualified.
I'll get the winner randomly chosen on Sunday (which gives you 5 days) either by the girls picking a name from the hat, or a number generator or something.
Good luck all.

Yard Sale!
Yard Sale!, originally uploaded by Vegan Year.
Here are the sellers ready to sell.
We had a yard sale yesterday to clear out a heap of the toys and clothes the girls have grown out of. We didn't sell everything so the leftovers got donated, but did pretty well. The girls have spent most of their proceeds on a new toy each, and have decided to donate the rest of the money to a charity to help the "aminals" hurt by the oil spill in the gulf.

Why is LNCO trading at a near 6% premium to LINE now? When trading first started last year, LNCO was at a 5% discount to LINE and that is now reversed. Is it because many investors are willing to pay extra for simplified tax reporting or are there other reasons?
LINE issues a K-1 at tax time which complicates filing tax return. LNCO does not. I own both and after sorting through all the complications of entering K-1 data on to appropriate tax forms the small amount of income which is tax deferred isn't worth a hill of beans.
Plus LNCO is far better to own in an IRA or ROTH w/o K-1 complications which that can happen in those tax preferred accounts.
I am selling all mu LINE and buying LNCO.
I hate to keep adding points in favor of owing LNCO over LINE, but here is another very important point/advantage for owning LNCO and not LINE:
With LNCO, you will only be exposed to gains that are taxed at a capital gains rate. But with LINE it is very possible that your gains will ultimately be exposed to ordinary income tax instead of capital gains tax.
LNCO vs. LINE: Completely depends on the circumstance of the individual investor.
As regards to tax preparations, LNCO dividends are surely easier to report for taxes than LINE payouts. But that is a very minor point.
For me, I have chosen LNCO over LINE for my investment. And the choice makes a lot of financial sense, if you understand my particular situation. My current income consists of social security, a very small annual pension, dividends, non-taxable interest from muni bonds, and non-taxable interest from federal tax-exempt bonds. My current annual income is about $55k. But, almost all of my social security income is not taxable and neither are my muni or federal tax exempt bonds.
And what a lot of tax payers don't know is that there has been a 0% dividend/capital gain tax rate for the last 4 years. This zero percent rate applies to singles with less than $32k of taxable income and for marrieds with less than $60k of taxable income. Taxable income = adjusted gross income - standard/itemized deduction - personal exemptions. So your adjusted gross income can equal between about $40k for singles and $80k for marrieds to qualify for the 0% dividend/capital gain tax rate.
Since my social security income, muni bond income, nor my federal tax exempt bonds are taxable, then none of my dividends are either, since I fall under the umbrella of the 0% dividend/capital gain tax rate. So, legally and practically none of my income is taxable.
However, if I invested in LINE, the payouts would not become taxable until I sold the LINE shares (at which I would have to count all my LINE payments as a reduction in cost basis of my shares, and as a profit for my LINE investment.) or until my LINE payouts exceed my LINE cost basis.
Do your homework, to see if you qualify for the 0% capital gains rate on dividends.
In essence, under my current tax situation and under current tax law (at least through 2013), I receive my LNCO dividends tax-free without lowering the cost basis for my investment in LNCO shares.
If I owned LINE, I would only be deferring the taxes on my LINE payouts and would definitely be lowering the cost basis of my LINE shares. So, if I sold my LINE shares, at a lower cost basis, or if my cost basis hits zero, then the taxman will take a large chunk of my profits in taxes.
Of course, the tax laws may change in the future. If so, I would have to relook at the situation and make necessary changes in order to limit the taxes I pay.
And before you criticize me for limiting my taxes, keep in mind that most of you are involved in LNCO or LINE for the tax advantages that they offer. Good luck/fortune to all investors everywhere.

Establish cloud policy specific to digital GLAM collections
Rapidly changing cloud computing environment requires associated developments in standards and policy of which PROV has already done a lot of work. A cloud policy specific to digital storage for public/distributed collections is needed. An 'Arts' cloud that can 'talk' to other data sets/contributors is needed i.e. federated and replicated to all states and territories (rigorous backup protection default).

The swings between lassitude and rage in a rocky lesbian relationship are often effectively woozy in Kanchi Wichmann's "Break My Fall."
The swings between lassitude and rage in a rocky lesbian relationship are often effectively woozy in Kanchi Wichmann's "Break My Fall." Although the pic betrays its origins as a short expanded to a feature, with several sequences that seem to serve as narrative filler, the central focus on young rockers Liza (a combustible Kat Redstone) and Sally (a milder Sophie Anderson) suggests what the British Free Cinema style might have looked like filtered through post-punk. Current U.K. and German releases, alongside fest dates, could open the door to further theatrical gigs.
In their ramshackle Hackney flat, Liza and Sally dwell less on the music their struggling band is trying to fashion (soundtrack is rich with strong indie band tracks) and more on Liza's perpetually bubbling jealousy about Sally's ex-lover in Berlin. A package from the ex sets the already uncertain Liza reeling, and even short bouts of lovemaking don't quell Liza's boiling temperament. Male pals Vin (Kai Brandon) and Jamie (Collin Clay Chace) are poorly written afterthoughts, especially compared with the two women's main event. Wichmann concludes on a note of Antonionian sadness that's brave. Vid lensing is low-grade.

AFTER ordering Berean Institute to vacate its building, the state has handed over the keys to one of the tenants at the troubled historic school.
ABO Haven, a job-training organization, now has permission to operate at the building, on Girard Avenue near 19th Street, as the primary tenant, Troy Thompson, a spokesman for the Department of General Services, said Tuesday.
ABO Haven moved into the building last summer and recently took Berean to court in a dispute over utilities.
In court last month, Larry Farmbry, a volunteer at Berean, agreed to a plan to pay an overdue $40,000 water bill. But a few days later, both the electricity and gas were shut off because Peco and Philadelphia Gas Works each said there was no record of service there.

Derry City eyeing St Pat's challenge
Published 07/11/2008
The force is with Derry City as they stalk St Patrick's Athletic in the bid for the eircom Premier Division runners-up spot.
It'll all be over a week tonight and in that time City play three times — including Monday's rearranged game with their rivals at Richmond Park.
Derry round off their campaign next Friday at home to Cobh Ramblers for what will be manager Stephen Henderson's last match in charge of the almost doomed club.
First up, though is a trip to Shamrock Rovers this evening.
It's not quite a must-win encounter but should they lose tonight, Pat's would have a six-point advantage if they beat an already relegated UCD in Dublin going into those final two matches. Pat's will round off their campaign against demoralised reigning champions Drogheda who this week became the latest League of Ireland side to be deducted points for going into examinership this season.
Cobh, on the other hand, will have every intention of giving Henderson a grand send-off with the popular manager deciding to call it a day because of the financial difficulties they are facing.
With Kenny in charge Derry City have never finished lower than second place in the premier division, although in both 2005 and 2006 they were in contention for the title right up until the last day of the campaigns.
Finishing second or third is academic in terms of qualifying for Europe and third place at least is now assured with the ten points Drogheda lost this week.
Their closest challengers are now Cork City nine points behind — they too suffered a ten-point deduction — with just two games left to play.
Cork did City a huge favour with their 1-0 win over Pat's during the week, lifting themselves a considerable achievement after their Setanta Sports Cup success over Glentoran at the weekend as following their points deduction they have nothing left to play for. It was a second successive league defeat for Pat's giving Derry, who have won both of their last two, real hope that they can still catch up.

Use these four tips to help your students — and yourself — stay sane during testing season. Plus, learn how you can plan now for post-testing, holistic assessments in your classroom.
Each year, a flurry ensues at my school as we approach the start date for the yearly standardized tests. Our staff meetings become like a mission control center with a countdown to "the start date," and we are asked to rank students based on their likelihood of moving from one score band to another — and then we are asked to turn into teaching superheroes to push those students over the cusp. We are given tips on bizarre strategies that help students to test better and debate whether we are "teaching to the test" by teaching test-taking strategies instead of content. The hoops we end up jumping through are enough to drive us crazy.
Determine what you want to be sure students have encountered prior to testing and make sure you have planned ample time for it.
Avoiding Test Mania Tip 1: Calendar a Plan of Attack
To feel more in control of the remaining days until testing starts, adjust your plans for units of study to reflect the start date of testing and the end of school. Determine what you want to be sure students have encountered prior to testing and make sure you have planned ample time for it. I am not advocating for you to consider standardized tests as the only valid measures of student learning and achievement. However, when you feel rushed and frazzled because you feel you still have lots to cover and not enough time, it translates negatively to your students' feelings of preparedness, and that affects their performance and sense of achievement. To avoid this:

Mr. Beef tongue and I would be delighted to observe such a day.
I know many of the people in the Primal World already eat lots of wonderful fat, so this should be an easy thing for a lot of you to enjoy.
I wrote this in my blog because I want to start having one day a week Focused on Fat!...Here is the post...
If I had my way with the world, I would institute a new weekly celebration to fall on every Friday of every month. This celebration would have people planning picnics, workplace lunch gatherings, and general organization of daily meals to include one main macronutrient...
Yes, from now on, each Friday is going to be renamed to become Fatty Friday.
Just what is Fatty Friday?
Well, it is a celebration that will have people world wide enjoying the wonderful tastes and aromas of naturally fatty foods such as bacon, fish, nuts and avocados. No longer will we see people at work sitting beside you at the lunch table eating a low fat - high sugar yogurt and an apple telling you about how healthy they are eating. Instead, they will be digging into a bowl of heavy cream and nuts, while their colleague will be downing a burger patty topped with cheese.
Why Fatty Fridays?
Because I want to enjoy my favorite foods for an entire day without people looking at me as if I have 3 heads and then telling me that my cholesterol is going to increase as I chow down on a bacon and egg sandwich (without the bread of course, and then reach for a can of sardines and a big glass of milk to wash it down...whole fat milk that is.
How do we participate?
Plan to eat Naturally Fatty Foods all day long on Fridays then post your comments on my blog. Join a community of Fatty Food Friday Fans and share recipes, stories and bathe in the pleasure of a Friday filled with Fat.
When does it begin?
This Friday, May 21, 2010.
Here is a short list of some of the wonderful foods that can be enjoyed on Fatty fridays...remember, we don't want any of that processed high sugar stuff that will raise your triglycerides and eventually your cholesterol, we want real food that is naturally high in fat that will also have some protein as well...
Here is an example of what I may eat this Friday:
- Eggs
- Bacon
- Nuts
- Nut Butter
- Heavy Cream
- Whipping Cream
- Yogurt ( not that low fat sugar filled stuff)
- Cheese
- Sardines
- Avocado
- Coconut Oil
- Coconut Milk
- Coconut Flakes (unsweetened)
- Ground Beef
- Ground Pork
- Hamburger Patties with cheese
- Whole Milk
- Salmon
- Macrel
- There is more to come, but for now this should get you started.
Breakfast: Nuts & Heavy Cream (Maybe with a few berries)
Bacon & Eggs
Lunch: Sardines
Dinner: Smoothie with milk, coconut milk, avocado, chia seeds, dulse flakes, and a few frozen berries
Snack: Steak & Eggs!
I would love to hear about your Fatty Friday Foods. Join the revolution, eat fat on Fatty Fridays.
Mr. Beef tongue and I would be delighted to observe such a day.
Stabbing conventional wisdom in its face.
Anyone who wants to talk nutrition should PM me!
Beef Tounge, I will add that to the list. This will have to be an at work snack as there is no way my wife will go for beef tonge.
oh my god, i am so in. maybe i'll do steak and eggs. and bacon. and butter balls. ooh, gotta plan!
HANDS OFF MY BACON :: my primal journal
Yes! Butter Balls (weren't they called Blue Balls as well?)
I will add them to the list along with the Coconutty Balls that were featured on MDL a while back.
Keep the ideas coming!
I'm definitely in!! Lots and lots of organic heavy cream for me!

WASHINGTON - It's finally official: the United States is in a recession. The government says it will do everything they can to fight it.But some forecasters warn that this could still be the worst downturn since the early 1980s.
No Surprises Here
The confirmation from The National Bureau of Economic Research that the U.S. was in a recession didn't come as a surprise.
"I think what the economists are telling us what we already know, it's like a weatherman telling us it's raining outside," Barclay's economist Ethan Harris said.
The downturn started 12 months ago, making it longer than the average 10 months for recessions since World War II.
And since many analysts believe the economy has yet to hit bottom, this recession could be the longest since the war.
"Everything I'm doing is to address that slowdown the best way I know how and that is to stabilize the financial system," said Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
Financial policy makers have been working overtime to keep the economic problems from hemorrhaging.
It's Not the Great the Depression
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke made it clear that there's no comparison between the current recession and The Great Depression of the 1930s.
However, Bernanke did hint that the Fed could reduce the benchmark overnight lending rate later this month along with other measures to unlock frozen credit markets - like using taxpayer money to infuse capital into Wall Street.
And he defended the necessity of saving financial giants - saying they were essential for the overall health of the economy.
"First of all, too big to fail is not a policy, it's a problem. To allow them to fail under these circumstances under the current conditions of financial markets would be to invite a major financial meltdown and serious, serious consequences for all of us in the United States and around the world," Bernanke said.
More Blows to the Credit Market
But nonetheless, the credit market is in store for more hits.
The number of people with delinquent mortgages is poised to nearly double by the end of next year, the Wall Street Journal reports.
In his first round of exit interviews, President George W. Bush said he was sorry that the financial hard times had hit the country.
"When the history of this period is written, people will realize a lot of the decisions that were made on Wall Street took place over a decade or so before I arrived as President," Bush said.
"I'm sorry it happened, of course. I don't like the idea of people losing jobs or being worried about their 401s," he said. "On the other hand, the American people have got to know that we will safeguard the system."
Another Stimulus
With the economy officially in a recession, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is working on another $500 billion economic stimulus package that would create jobs and cut taxes for the middle class.
She hopes to have it ready to sign into law on January 20, when President-elect Barack Obama takes office.

What is the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence Campaign?
The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is an international campaign originating from the first Women's Global Leadership Institute sponsored by the Center for Women's Global Leadership in 1991. Participants chose the dates, November 25, International Day Against Violence Against Women and December 10, International Human Rights Day, in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights and to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights. This 16-day period also highlights other significant dates including November 29, International Women Human Rights Defenders Day, December 1, World AIDS Day, and December 6, which marks the Anniversary of the Montreal Massacre.
The 16 Days Campaign has been used as an organizing strategy by individuals and groups around the world to call for the elimination of all forms of violence against women by:
2009 theme is: COMMIT ▪ ACT ▪ DEMAND: WE CAN END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN!
Commit: We are All Responsible.
Act: We Can All Make a Difference
Demand: We Are All Accountable

Erie Times-News On Campus college notebook, March 2
Villa Maria graduate Cara Wyant saved perhaps her best college basketball performance for the final regular-season game of her senior season at Division III Haverford College.
Wyant scored a career-high 20 points while helping the Fords to a 67-59 overtime victory over rival Swarthmore on Feb. 25. As a result, she was named Centennial Conference player of the week.
The 6-foot 1-inch senior forward connected on 9-of-14 field-goal attempts in the game, including a 3-pointer, and added seven rebounds. Wyant also scored 11 straight points at one point in the first half.
Wyant has been a steady contributor for Haverford, which finished the regular season 21-3 overall and placed first in the conference with a 15-3 record. She is averaging 6 points and 4.8 rebounds per game while coming off the bench and playing about 20 minutes per game.
On Friday night, Wyant scored seven points and grabbed eight rebounds in a 61-49 victory over Gettysburg to help the Fords advance to the Centennial Conference Tournament title game for the first time.
Top-seeded Haverford was scheduled to face third-seeded Johns Hopkins (18-7) in the conference title game Saturday night at Haverford. Game details were not available before press time.
- General McLane grad Sarah Hansen was named Atlantic Sun Conference player of the week after leading Florida Gulf Coast to two victories. She had 14 points and 10 rebounds in a 62-43 win at Jacksonville and then made all seven of her field-goal attempts on the way to 17 points in an 80-54 win at North Florida.
She later added 13 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in only 17 minutes of playing time in FGCU's 108-67 win over Lipscomb on Thursday. The Eagles improved to 21-7 overall and 15-1 in the A-Sun.
- McDowell graduate Emma Swabb, a sophomore at Washington & Lee University in Lexington, Va., claimed a spot on the all-Old Dominion Athletic Conference first team after swimming in the conference meet in Greensboro, N.C., on Feb. 7-9.
Her time of 2 minutes, 9.28 seconds in the 200-yard individual medley broke three records -- her own school record, the ODAC mark and the meet standard.
She also was a member of the 400 medley relay team that broke the school record and placed second in the ODAC meet with a time of 3:56.17. Swabb placed third in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:30.21.
Her performance helped the Generals win the ODAC conference meet for the seventh consecutive year.
Swabb claimed ODAC Scholar Athlete status for the second straight year and was named Washington & Lee Scholar Athlete for the fourth time. She has 3.86 grade-point average as a psychology and pre-law major.
- Cathedral Prep grad Adam Chrzanowski had quite a PSAC meet for the Gannon swimming team.
Chrzanowski won the 200-yard backstroke in a time of 1:50.01 on Feb. 23 in York for the Golden Knights' first individual PSAC title since 2011.
Chrzanowski, a junior, upset the No. 1 seed as he broke his own school record in the event, claiming an NCAA "B" cut time. It was the eighth all-PSAC honor of his career.
Also at this year's meet, Chrzanowski placed third in the 100 backstroke (51.27), fifth in the 200 freestyle (1:41.45) and seventh in the 50 freestyle (21.26). He also was a member of the second-place 800 freestyle relay team (6:55.61), second-place 400 medley relay (3:26.33) and third-place 400 free relay (3:06.23).
- Three Edinboro women's swimmers will compete in Division II national championships March 12-15 at the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio. Senior Alexis Berdine, freshman Holly Stein and freshman Goezde Tekin have qualified for the national meet.
"This is not just a great accomplishment for each individual, but it is a great accomplishment for our program, the athletic department, and for the university," coach Chris Rhodes said. "We have been the first alternates the last two years, and that was frustrating because I felt we swam well enough to be invited."
Berdine qualified 17th in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 56.38 and also will swim the 50 freestyle and 200 backstroke. Tekin qualified eighth in the 200 butterfly (2:03.09) and will swim in the 100 butterfly, 200 IM and 400 IM. Stein will be seeded ninth in the 100 breaststroke (1:03.06). She'll also swim the 200 breaststroke.
- Eight members of the Penn State Behrend men's team and four from the Lions' women's program claimed first-team all-AMCC honors.
On the men's side, Dan Simon was named AMCC Co-Swimmer of the Year and Nick Kost was picked as Newcomer of the Year.
Simon, who earned the same conference honor last season, led the Lions to their eighth straight conference title last weekend. He earned first-team honors for winning the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke for the second straight year. Simon, who will compete in the NCAA Division III championships, was also a member of the winning 400 medley relay and 400 free relay.
Kost earned first-team honors for winning the 400 IM and 200 backstroke.
Ryan Mitcheltree defended his title in the 1,650 freestyle to earn first-team honors.
Nick Roth claimed four first-team honors (500 freestyle, 200 butterfly, 400 medley relay, 400 freestyle relay).
Other Behrend men who took first-team honors for victories at the AMCC championships included: Ty Elder (400 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay), Corry graduate Eric Matteson (400 medley relay), Steve Torre (400 free relay) and Kenton Matthaei (200 free relay).
On the women's side, Behrend freshman Mia Pietropola claimed four first-team honors by winning the 200 IM, 100 and 200 breaststroke and swimming on the winning 400 medley relay.
Alex Isaacson won the 400 IM and was part of the 400 medley relay. Meagan Daily and Lauren Rosato also swam legs on the 400 medley relay.
- Erie native Jane Pagano, a freshman defender at Connecticut College, was named New England Small College Athletic Conference women's player of the week.
Pagano, who attended Tabor Academy in Marion, Mass., scored power-play goals in each of the first two periods in a 5-1 win over Williams on Feb. 22. Entering Saturday, she was tied for the team lead with nine goals and had 14 total points for the Camels (10-11-3).
- Allegheny's Patrick Cole has been selected to the 30th anniversary NCAC Men's Tennis All Decade team while he's still in college.
Cole, a senior, is the only active player to be named to the list. He has been a top-flight singles player for the Gators since his freshman year in 2011, when he won the NCAC Newcomer of the Year.

179. Heal My Nerves and Install in Me a New Set of Telephonic Nerves
My soul-cottage by the little brook of life smiled when Thou camest. O Mystic Electrician, the many-tinted bulbs of my senses refuse to scintillate with Thy light. The nerve-wires are shaken and torn by the winds of a busy life. O Thou, who art the builder of nerves and the maker of the shining currents of life, resurrect the dead wires of wrecked nerves and breathe into them the unleashed current of Thy power, that all the unlighted bulbs of my senses may suddenly shine with Thy glory.
I am the bulb and Thou art the holy light gleaming within it. Thou art the bulb and the light. Make me realize this miracle.
Heal the shattered nerves and flood the disease-clouded bulb of flesh with the divine effulgence of Thy light.
180. Make Us Transparent, That Thy Light May Shine Through Us

Lauren Sullivan is showing her age, and that's a good thing.
The only senior on Lancaster's record-setting 4x200 meter relay, she's embraced the leadership role and proven that time is on her side. Sullivan runs the leadoff leg of the relay setting the pace for freshman Ashley Grazen, sophomore Tiffany Cycon and sophomore Allie Mazur.
"It's weird seeing the dynamic of the team change over the years, going from being the youngest to the oldest," she said. "I like being the oldest one in the relay because I feel like they look up to me and it's up to me to set an example. It's definitely going to be hard for me to leave them next year, but they definitely have a big future ahead of them."
At the recent Brockport Invitational, Lancaster's 4x200 broke the Section VI record with a 1:45.68. The previous mark of 1:46.23 had been held since 2008 by West Seneca West.
The key to the foursome's success is something that's tough to coach. "We try to keep in our heads that we trust each other that we're going to get the baton. That's the big thing that we say, trust each other," said Sullivan.
Lancaster's girls are continuing their strong tradition in the field events. Senior Jenn Thill leads WNY in the pole vault at 12-0 feet. She appeared in Fredonia's version of Olympic gold medalist Jen Suhr's Thank You Tour last fall.
Junior McKenzie Kuehlewind is a 43-footer in the shot and also won at Dartmouth. Courtney Drozdowski gives Kuehlewind a formidable partner in the shot in relay meets and Oliva Gervan is the team's top point-getter in the high jump.
Section VI records are typically a tough ticket, but not this season with three taking a tumble. Junior Devon Patterson of Williamsville South broke the section record in a big way by becoming WNY's first 60-footer in the shot put. Junior Marissa Saenger of Clarence is the new record holder in the 3,000 meters.
Saenger's success in cross country has carried over indoors. In the fall she placed 25th at the Foot Locker National Cross Country Championships in San Diego, Calif. She was WNY's cross country's female Runner of the Year.
At the indoor track's Yale Classic she ran a 9:51.92 to break the 32-year-old section record in the 3,000. The previous record of 10:06 had been held by Anne Dobrowolski of Lancaster since 1981, 15 years before Saenger was born.
"I was pretty surprised. I was really nervous," she said. "Coach seeded me at a pretty fast time. I ended up hitting it but it worked out. I hadn't run it since outdoor track last year. I got into a good pace toward the beginning. It felt good. There was actually one girl in that race I remembered from the Foot Locker, we actually cooled down afterward."
Saenger leads a talented Red Devils squad that also includes multi-event athlete Krisren George, currently ranked No. 2 in the triple jump, and eighth-grader Katrina Patters, a standout distance runner.
The Clarence boys are led by senior Ben Reinhardt, who leads Section VI in the 600 with a school record 1:23.72 and junior Dan Huben, ranked No. 2 in the 3,200.
Like Saenger, TJ Hornberger of Lake Shore is following his WNY male cross country Runner of the Year with a big season on the indoor track. He competed in the Nike Cross Country Nationals in Oregon.
He'll be tough to beat indoors as he's ranked No. 1 in the 1,600 and 3,200 and is No. 2 in the 1,000 behind Kalen Sullivan of West Seneca West.
Eagles teammate Calvin Butlak also ran personal bests at Yale in the 3,000 and mile.
Frontier has two athletes who have very real chances at the state meet. Sophomore McKyla Brooks is ranked in the top three in the state in the 55 dash, long and triple jumps
Senior Patrick Osuch is ranked No. 3 in WNY and is chasing the school record in the 55 hurdles.
Yale was the site of the Iroquois school records falling in the 4x200 as Matt Ridge, Josh Schiemant, Jeremy Horn and Justin Petrocy won the small school race in 1:34.74.
Orchard Park senior Shannon Smith (1000), sophomore Rami Major (600) and Jake Eneix (1600, 3200) all are ranked in the WNY top 10.
Lawrence Williams of St. Joe's, who last year qualified for the state federation meet in the 400, has a 36.99 in the 300, the No. 2 time in WNY.
Two record-setting Amherst athletes are looking to return to states, seniors Adam Murphy and Emily Irish-Ryan. Murphy holds school records in the 1,000, 1,600 and 3,200 while Irish-Ryan owns the marks in the 55 hurdles, 300 and 600.
Senior Denzel Benton, an All-WNY wide receiver last fall for Canisius, has the No. 1 time in WNY and the No. 4 time in thw state in the 55 at 6.47. Desmond Nicholas is the No. 1-ranked freshman in the state with a long jump of 20-2.25. Billy Christ looks to run well at Catholic state meet in the mile.
Kenmore East's Gavin DiMaria broke the school record in the pole vault, clearing 13-6 at Yale. Sophomore Ben Jackson gives the Bulldogs another pole vaulter ranked in the top 10. Senior Louis Capizzi is No. 3 in the section in the 600 and is on the No. 1 ranked 4x400 in WNY along with DiMaria, Chris Guarino and Avery Walsh.
Gregg Hart is the new West Seneca West record holder in the long jump with a 20-5.
Grand Island's Jess Dhaliwall looked impressive sweeping the shot put and weight throw titles at Saturday's Rock 'N Rolls Throw-Offs.
Lockport's All-America soccer player, Alex Reid, is ranked No. 1 in WNY in the long jump and No. 2 in the 55 and triple. He's the school record holder in all three events. He's undefeated in the LJ at 22-8.75.
Senior David Pollock is ranked No. 2 in the LJ behind Reid. Senior Megan Evans is ranked No. 2 in WNY in the pole vault at 11-0 and holds the school record in both indoor and outdoor.
Junior Carolyn Hopkins holds the Williamsville South school record in the 3,000 in 10:23.56 Sophomore Clare Losito is ranked in the top three in WNY in the 1,000 and 1,500.
Junior Lauren Hudson looks to represent Williamsville North at states as she's ranked No. 1 in WNY with a school record 5-6 in the high jump.
Jamestown senior Cienna Simon is undefeated in the 55 hurdles, holds the school record and is ranked No. 8 in the state with a 8.55.
Sweet Home's Jenny DelSignore broke the school record in the 3,000 with a 10:39.31 at Yale and joined Aileen Doyle, Alex Ortega and Kennedy Lewandowski with a school record of 10:05.49 in the 4x800 relay.
Terionna Ware, Kaila Frazier, Rachel Roberson and Lauren Rao broke the school record in the 4x200 with a 1:51.56, second behind Lancaster.
Panthers' senior Tyvon Rivers. state runnerup in the 55 hurdles, currently leads WNY with a 7.91.

Low Cost Weekend Ideas: Visit A Museum Tomorrow For Free
|Email Print
Tomorrow is Museum Day, sponsored by the Smithsonian. You will need to print out this Museum Day card, good for two people to participating museums.
On September 30, 2006, for one day only, museums across the country will join the Smithsonian Institution in its long-standing tradition of offering free admission to visitors.
I think we might check out the Maryland Science Center tomorrow, I've always seen the building but never actually went inside. Now, some of the museums are always free (like many near the Cut in Washington, D.C.) but they're just getting in on the fun anyway.

These fun pics are from a "Pink Lotus Lounge" backyard party that was hosted by sisters & designers Lori Roark and Denise Haynes-Port. This party was held in celebration of a milestone anniversary for their artful, handmade jewelry line: LilyGirl, but it also serves as great inspiration for all sorts of special occasions that you might be hosting too – from summer cocktail parties to bridal showers!
LilyGirl has been a fun excuse for women (in the Southern California area) to gather for house parties for 5 years, so – given the special meaning behind this particular gathering – it was their biggest bash yet! Lori's Cardiff by the Sea home was brimming with their newest spring collections, original signature wire designs and their signature "Jewelry Bar" (a local favorite!).
The backyard conversion was inspired by their love of pink, orange and natural elements. IKEA finds include the banana leaf rockers and ottoman's, white tab-topped curtains, the rag rugs and bright candles.
The ivory patterned sheers (below, left) and vibrant curtain panel with lotus designs (embellished with crystals for extra jewelry-like glam) were both purchased at Pier 1 Imports.
Toss pillows from Cost Plus World Market, continued the pink lotus look!
The center of the lounge featured a candle pit where glass pebbles, and a colorful mix of candles gave a pink glow and warm light.
A gallery of original LilyGirl jewelry photos adorned one of the walls (lit by hanging lanterns from Z Gallerie and HomeGoods).
Guests of the party enjoyed incredible deals, totally unique jewelry displays throughout the house and Pink Lily's – their signature cocktail of champagne, grapefruit juice, cranberry & a raspberry!
There were also lots of fun details like custom-printed food descriptions and the use of cute glitter flower stickers (purchased at Michaels) as "drink distinguishers".
Lori made mini white butterfly cupcakes in gold foil liners to further the pretty spring party vibe. The crab-stuffed mushroom appetizers were gone in a second, one of Montana's most requested yum. Everything was served on brightly colored platters and trays.
Guests took home gift bags with personal touches and goodies from LilyGirl's favored local stores,
Brow Lounge of La Jolla, Detour Salon in downtown Encinitas, It's a Luv Thing Boutique in Leucadia.
All in all, it was such a special, creative atmosphere that made for a great party! And after much insistence from Lori's friends, most of the décor will be left in place …summertime cocktails in the lounge, hello! =)

Lot # 703 (of 1525) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Circa 1910 Baseball Fan with Stars Including Wagner, Cobb
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $1,740.00
Extraordinary circa 1910 baseball fan features identified portraits of an incredible thirty-five stars including Hall of Famers Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Frank Baker, Nap Lajoie, Clark Griffith, Frank Chance, Rogers Bresnahan, Eddie Collins, Tris Speaker, Ed Walsh, Johnny Evers, and Rube Marquard. Fans of this general style are a relatively well defined area of collecting with very few different designs known, which makes this example all the more incredible as this is an extraordinarily rare style fan which we have never before seen. It is also very unusual in that the designs of all fans previously known to us feature fewer than half this number of players. The reverse advertises for "The Men's Shop" of Penacook, New Hamphire. This fan was an advertising premium given away by the store. This is an amazing early baseball fan, featuring an incredibly large percentage of all of the top stars of the game. The original wooden stick is intact but has a crack (easily repairable) visible on the reverse. The cardboard fan has a small repair to a tear in Schaeffer's portrait on the far left (very minor, mentioned for the sake of accuracy) and a small crease through Meyers' portrait on the right, otherwise in Excellent condition. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$2,000. SOLD FOR $1,740.00

Police custody in Northumbria was mixed and some improvements were necessary, said Nick Hardwick, Chief Inspector of Prisons, and Dru Sharpling, HM Inspector of Constabulary, publishing the report of an unannounced inspection.
The inspection was part of a national programme of joint inspections of police custody. This was the second inspection of police custody in Northumbria: the first took place in August 2011.Northumbria covers a large geographical area and ran seven full-time custody suites: Newcastle Etal Lane, Sunderland Gillbridge, Washington, South Shields, Gateshead, Bedlington and Wallsend/Middle Engine Lane, as well as three part-time rural suites at Hexham, Alnwick and Berwick, and three part-time resilience suites at Southwick, Whickham and North Shields.
Inspectors were pleased to find that:
the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) was involved in the training and development of an active Independent Custody Visitor scheme;
the police service was in the process of opening a new custody suite while closing existing buildings, but continued to maintain those buildings to a good standard;
individual detainee and officer interaction was respectful and sensitive and there were cases of exceptional individual attention;
police officers made efforts to keep children out of custody; however when cases were more complex, staff did not pursue other options, such as the local authority, to provide alternative accommodation;
there were examples of good multi-agency working to support detainees with a history of substance misuse; and
the force, with help from partner agencies, had provided an improved scheme to help keep mentally ill people out of police cells.
However, inspectors were concerned to find that:
· custody recording systems involved a mix of paper and computer records, allowing opportunities for human error and omission in recording strategic and individual detainee information;
· the force did not have sufficient focus on learning from adverse incidents, which included learning from four IPCC investigations, nor did it have robust quality assurance systems in place;
· in most cases, risk assessments were routine and mechanistic;
· handovers could be subject to incorrect recording of risk information; and
· clinical governance of health care had not improved since the 2011 inspection, and medical rooms varied in levels of cleanliness.
Nick Hardwick and Dru Sharpling said: "This report describes some good individual care of detainees but some processes to ensure this happened on a consistent basis required improvement. This report provides a number of recommendations to assist the force and the Police and Crime Commissioner to improve provision further. We expect our findings to be considered in the wider context of priorities and resourcing, and for an action plan to be provided in due course."

From: Mike Harrison ------------------------------------------------------ Nancy and I bought a new RV yesterday, the next project will be turning a netbook/notebook into an access device and server. My goal is that it'd provide a consistent Wifi interface and network inside of the RV for a tablet/phone and a couple of laptops. I've been collecting gear including a high range wifi antenna (a directional and an omni) - the goal is to merge a combination of WiFi that I can suck (legally and with permission) and one (or more) cell uplinks. I've done some googling, and found some commercial "all in one" boxes for this, but me, being me, would love to roll my own on Linux. My questions for the group: Am I insane? (probably) Is this a Raspberry Pi-ish project (That might be fun) Anyone seen any magic for managing multiple changing upstream connections or am I having fun with iptables and routeing commands via some perl scripts (which I know how to do..)? It's been a while since I did these types of things. --Mike-- ============================================================ Mike Harrison firstname.lastname@example.com cell: 423.605.6943
=============================================================== From: Stephen Kraus ------------------------------------------------------ Rasberry Pi can make a decent router so its entirely possible.
=============================================================== From: Joe Freeman ------------------------------------------------------ It is definitely something you can do with a raspi. I put something similar together a bit ago using a b model raspi, a usb 4g dongle, and a linksys wrtg-54 running dd-wrt. There are also some wireless routers that'll run dd-wrt and also have a USB port that can be used with a USB 4g dongle, as well. I think the biggest issue you'll have is getting enough power using the raspi. It typically likes at least 1000ma at 5v itself, and doesn't provide much current to the usb ports, so people often use powered usb hubs with it.
=============================================================== From: Matt Keys ------------------------------------------------------ You should be able to do this with pfsense and the gateway tiers for load balance/failover. I don't think pfsense will run on pi quite yet, though. It'd need to be at least an atom box and supported wifi adapters.
=============================================================== From: Mike Harrison ------------------------------------------------------ I have an Asus that will do that, but the Wifi is for downstream and the USB 4G is an alternative upstream to the ethernet jack. Adding a Pi or netbook as an additional upstream Wifi "seeker" and "leach" might be the effective use.. Power is not a problem, I'm replacing a old style TV set... and putting geekdom in it's place. Ascii art should look correct with a fixed font: --- | WifiAntenna | | Pi running as router | Ethernet | / GSM Dongle | / [ Access point] | | | Local-Net Wifi/Cat 5 for RV such.. I'm finding an awesome selection of replacement units for the Cassette playing (no CD) indash stereo like this: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-x6aRdwlT0Kp/p
=============================================================== From: Mike Harrison ------------------------------------------------------ And as I already have one.. (an Atom netbook with a high gain USB wifi adapter.. ) that might be the way because it has a screen and interface. I've just been looking for a reason to play with a Pi. ;)
=============================================================== From: Ed King ------------------------------------------------------ it ain't an RV until it has disco lights!=A0=A0 (some shag carpet would be = nice too)=0A=0A=0AI've been in contact with the dude who programmed console= candy (command line mp3 player with ascii-art spectrum) to let him know tha= t I intend to add alsa support to his program, but I suppose I could just a= s easily "borrow" the ascii-art functions from consolecandy and add them to= mplayer.=A0 why?=A0 because alsa mp3 players dont seem to hang on my rpi t= he way mp3 players using oss-emulation do. =A0 so that's about where I'm at= with my disco lights rpi project... =A0 I haven't gave up on it yet ;)=0A= =0A=0A=0A
=============================================================== From: John Aldrich ------------------------------------------------------ Quoting Mike Harrison : [snip]
=============================================================== From: Stephen Kraus ------------------------------------------------------ Is it a diesel rv?
=============================================================== From: Mike Harrison ------------------------------------------------------ Funny, when I saw this one a few days ago, and researched them, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Vixen-Motorhome-524TD-/290987621977?pt=RVs

Dainius Zubrus- Adam Henrique- Matt D'Agostini
Ryan Carter- Stephen Gionta- Peter Harrold

Krejci and Nathan Horton just missed from in close with 3:22 to go.
D'Agostini was okay when he went hard into the end boards with 1:45 left.
Salvador is on the bench but played less than usual in the first period. Could've been equipment issues.
Jagr scored his first goal for the Bruins at 1:20. Marchand centered a pass off the big winger's left skate as Salvador defended on the play, and the puck eluded Brodeur.
It was the 15th goal of the season and 680th of Jagr's career.

Rask protected the lead with a save on Fayne's shot from the point and on Harrold's backhander at 6:59 on the rebound.

Brodeur made a save on a Milan Lucic shot from the top of the slot at 7:35.
Rask stopped a Ponikarovsky shot from the slot at 10:25.
With 8:34 left in the period, Brodeur stopped a David Krejci shot as Lucic waited at the doorstep for the rebound that never came.
Henrique's chance at 13:51 was turned aside by Rask.
Krejci was called for holding at 16:25.

Photos by Dale Smith.
A Living Nativity scene on Canal Street Friday night brought into focus the true mean of the holiday season. Participants were from St. Paul's Catholic Church in New Smyrna Beach. In the inset photo, Tiona Stone, 4, of New Smyrna Beach, reacts to the chugging of the kiddie train she boarded that just took off on Canal Street Saturday morning. Tiona is the daughter of Brandon and Lacey Stone. The family enjoyed the sights and sounds of Coastal Market on Canal, including seeing Santa Claus. "Christmas on Canal" was a veritable wonderland for countless families looking for bargains at the start of the holiday shopping season.
Editor's note: The following story was submitted by contributing writer Dale Smith:
NEW SMYRNA BEACH – Festive holiday carols echoed up and down Canal Street Friday night as merchants kicked off Christmas on Canal with a gala Christmas tree lighting ceremony and holiday cheer. And the holiday cheer continued well into Saturday with kiddie rides and other festive activities designed to make "Christmas on Canal" a positive shopping experience for families.

Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Smithfield® Marinated Pork.
It's football season. Around our house this means tailgating with our son whenever we have a chance. I have never attended college tailgating before last year, but, wow! These people are serious about their recipes. Barbecue is a big hit with our tailgating crowd so I created an easy Barbecue Pork Sliders recipe using our "family recipe" sauce and topped with a savory coleslaw. My secret to delicious barbecue pork in 30 minutes or less? I cheat by using Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork from Food Lion . I love that Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork comes in a variety of different flavors and cuts (Tenderloins, Loin Filets, and Sirloin), perfect for any occasion and any night of the
week! This recipe will totally impress your friends and make them think you spent hours prepping for the party.
Easy Barbecue Pork Sliders Recipe
For the slaw:
This recipe needs to be made in two parts. I suggest making the coleslaw first so it has a chance to marinate. Once again I cheated by using a bag of premixed coleslaw and added some chopped red pepper and chopped onion. Then, I mixed up the dressing, a tangy concoction of vinegar, sugar, oil, and salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the slaw, mix well, and refrigerate until ready to use. Tip: You can make the coleslaw up to 24 hours in advance and allow the flavors to blend.
For the Pork
You'll need Smithfield Marinated Roasted Garlic & Herb Pork Loin Filet, (I purchased ours at Food Lion, they have a great selection of flavors and cuts), chopped onions and our secret "family recipe" sauce. It's really just a bottle of Hickory Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce, brown sugar and cola. Mix the barbecue sauce, brown sugar and cola until blended. Chop the pork loin filet into pieces. Place the pieces of pork loin filet in a large piece of aluminum foil. Add the onions on top and cover with the barbecue sauce. Wrap the pork loin filet tightly with the foil and grill for twenty minutes.
Place the pork mixture onto one half of a split roll. Top with coleslaw, pickles and more barbecue sauce if desired. Although the sliders are delicious, the pork is good without a bun or served as sandwiches. It's #RealFlavorRealFast, my favorite kind of recipe!
Printable Recipe
- 1 Smithfield Marinated Roasted Garlic & Herb Pork Loin Filet
- 1½ cups hickory and brown sugar barbecue sauce
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup cola
- For Coleslaw
- 1 package (14 ounce) coleslaw mix
- ¾ cup diced onion
- ¾ cup diced red pepper
- ½ cup oil
- ½ cup vinegar
- ½ cup sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Other ingredients for Sandwiches:
- Pickles, optional
- Rolls
- Extra barbecue sauce, optional
- Mix barbecue sauce, cola and brown sugar until blended. Chop pork loin into ½ inch pieces. On a large sheet of aluminum foil add the pork loin and onion. Top with barbecue sauce mixture. Wrap tightly in foil. Grill for 20 minutes.
- For coleslaw:
- Mix vinegar, sugar and oil until blended. Stir in salt and pepper. Set aside. Add coleslaw mixture to a large bowl, stir in onion and peppers. Add vinegar mixture and stir until blended. Place in fridge until ready to serve.
- To make sandwiches:
- Split rolls in half. Place pork mixture, pickles, and coleslaw on bun. Place other half of bun on top.

Sarcastic, sanctimonious, salacious, sly, slight and surprisingly sweet, the black comedy of Bad Words, starring and directed by Jason Bateman, is high-minded, foul-mouthed good nonsense.
I had wondered where Bateman's angry itch would take him next.
The script, by Andrew Dodge, his first to be produced after many years in the studio trenches, is a good match of man and material. As an actor — whether a victim trying to even the score with Melissa McCarthy in Identity Thief or the ruthless top firing dog in Up in the Air — Bateman always brings an edge to his work. He's never quite as likable as, say, Paul Rudd, but the comic sensibility of his films is more biting for it.
At times Bad Words has a tendency to overbite — a series of extremely expressive sex scenes comes to mind. But Bateman seems to sense it and pulls back before patience runs out.
The movie zeros in on the bizarre world of spelling bees, a petri dish of strange behavior between the bright kids and the zealous parents. The filmmaker has surrounded himself with a solid cast of distinctive comic and character actors, including Kathryn Hahn, Allison Janney, Ben Falcone and Philip Baker Hall. He keeps a brisk pace. And he's willingly handed the entire game to the wonderful and wise-beyond-his-10-years Rohan Chand. Smart move.
If you happened to catch the Oscar-nominated 2002 documentary Spellbound, which Dodge says partly inspired the story, you know that the national spelling bee competition is white-knuckle time for the incredibly smart and slightly weird pre-teen set.
The idea of having an adult, Guy Trilby (Bateman), crashing the after-school party as a contestant is almost funny enough. Why a 40-year-old would do such thing — the spelling bee authorities don't make it easy — becomes the mystery to be solved.
Reporter Jenny Widgeon (Hahn) shadows Guy on the spelling bee circuit. She foots the bill in exchange for exclusive rights to Guy's story, assuming he will ever tell it. Jenny and Guy are also having a fling, though it is difficult to tell who likes whom the least. She, in other words, doesn't offset his less-than-charming persona.
Indeed, the film's toughest challenge is getting anyone to care about anything that happens to Guy. Bitter, caustic, depressed, antisocial, an intruder in the bee world, it's as if he has never met a human — adult or child — he didn't verbally take down.
An adorably polite young lad named Chaitanya Chopra (Chand), one of the kid competitors, latches on to Guy and won't let go. Their relationship, with Guy fighting it every step of the way, becomes the heart of Bad Words. As 10-year-old Chaitanya digs in, Guy begins to soften. Until a rift puts the boy and his would-be friend at odds, and by this time the spelling bee title is on the line.
As tight-lipped as Guy is about his reasons for seeing this thing through to the end, enough clues are dropped along the way that you may solve the mystery before the big reveal scene.
