Newly christened Tropical Storm Lee and Hurricane Katia are both churning towards the United States, and while both are days away from impacting New Jersey, they bear watching as our waterlogged state tries to dry out from Hurricane Irene.
Both Lee, which is meandering off the coast of New Orleans in the Gulf of Mexico, and Katia (pronounced KAH - tyah), marching west through the tropical Atlantic Ocean, present forecasting challenges as each could potentially impact New Jersey sometime next week.
Right now, Lee seems like the best — or worst, in New Jersey's case — bet.
Lee could be a flooding disaster for parts of the Gulf Coast.
Tropical storm warnings are out from Mississippi to Texas today, including New Orleans. The National Hurricane Center said the system will dump 10 to 15 inches of rain over southern areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama through Sunday and as much as 20 inches in some spots.
While there is still some uncertainty in where Lee will end up, several forecast models bring some of its moisture up towards the Garden State by sometime next week.
"Several computer models are more than hinting that rain will move north into our area by midweek," the National Weather Service at Mount Holly wrote in its morning forecast discussion. "For now we will stay with our dry forecast, but would not be surprised if it gets changed as we move closer."
Any additional rain in New Jersey would be bad news and could reinvigorate flooding concerns statewide as some rivers are still haven't dropped below flood stage from Irene.
Katia, a category 1 hurricane currently east of the Caribbean, is another story. While forecasters have for days hinted at Katia being pushed out to sea long before reaching the United States, computer models have yet to show that turn.
Katia likely won't make its closest approach to the East Coast until late next week, but how far west the storm comes before turning northward will be crucial to understanding its potential impact on New Jersey.
The jury is a long way from returning a verdict on Katia, but the case merits watching over the next week.

Dear Abby: While searching for two of my husband's childhood friends, with his knowledge, I believe I may have found a child he doesn't know is his. I'm not positive that the child is his, but the time frame and location indicate that he could be, and there's a strong resemblance to my husband's brother. (I have seen photos on the Internet.)
I am curious whether my hunch is correct, but I'm afraid of asking the questions, not knowing how they would be received. My husband is a kind and caring person, a great husband and father. The child could have been conceived during a casual, one-night stand before we started dating.
I now wish I had never found this information because by not saying anything to him, I feel like a terrible person. If the child is his, the mother has kept this from him for more than 10 years. What's the right thing to do?
– Wondering in the Southwest
Dear Wondering: I see nothing to be gained by withholding this from your spouse. Tell your husband about your research, and what you think you may have turned up. Then ask if he is acquainted with the child's mother. The resemblance could be coincidental, or the child could have been fathered by another family member.
Out of order
Dear Abby: One of my fond memories of my father when I was growing up was that he would always order my mom's meal when we were out for dinner. She decided what she wanted to eat, but when the waiter came, my dad would say, "My wife would like the...." Now that I'm older and married, my husband does the same for me. One couple we dine out with regularly gives me a difficult time about this "tradition." Do you think I'm living in the Stone Age?
– Susan in Virginia
Dear Susan: No, I do not; you appear to be living quite happily in the present. Please allow me to make an observation: From my perspective, you might enjoy your evenings out more if you shared them with this particular couple less often.

15 Minute Baked Halibut With Herbs
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 15 mins
This halibut, which is baked in the oven, gives you an easy way to enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and healthy benefits of halibut and fresh herbs. It is a wonderful way to have a light sauce for your fish with a lot of flavor and minimal effort. This dish is so easy and simple that the key to its success is fresh ingredients. Dried herbs will not work for this recipe. From The Worlds Healthiest Foods. Hope you enjoy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs halibut steaks, cut into 8 pieces
- 1⁄4 cup chicken stock or 1⁄4 cup vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 medium garlic cloves, pressed
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- salt and pepper
- Preheat oven to 450.
- Place the fish in a baking dish just large enough to hold them.
- Mix remaining ingredients well in a bowl and pour over fish.
- Cover, and bake until done, about 15 minutes; don't overcook.
- Check for doneness by inserting the tip of a knife into the center of the fish. Halibut should flake easily when done, yet still be moist.
- Remove from heat just before it is done to your liking, as it will continue to cook.
- Serve at once, pouring the pan juices over the fish.

We loved this, it packed a lot of flavor. In fact, DH wants to use this treatment on his freshly caught rockfish, which can also stand up to the capers. We have fish often, and this is a welcome change from our usual delicious Mrs. Dash Garlic 'n' Herb and Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning with a smothering of butter to keep the fish moist. The fresh herbs make a huge difference, and we are worth it! Made for The Wild Bunch for ZWT8's visit in Britain.
I used chicken stock. It was a great way to use my fresh herbs. It's easy to do. The taste is good and light but we felt like it needed more seasoning. Thanks Leslie :) Made for ZWT8 for Diners, Winers and Chives
Light and easy! I used tilapia because halibut was way too expensive at the store today. Thanks for sharing! Prepared for ZWT4.

Former reality star Jon Gosselin has some harsh words for his ex-wife Kate Gosselin following her PEOPLE cover story, in which she expressed concern for her family's future.
"Reality TV is not a career," Jon said in an new interview with RumorFix.com. "Get back to a normal life – a simple life."
Following TLC's cancelation of her Kate Plus 8, the reality star told PEOPLE she's "freaking out" about providing for her eight kids.
Jon, who says that he continues to pay child support and sees his kids "a lot," isn't worried.
"Things will work out the way they should work out," he said. "Obviously, there are families out there that have several kids – people work normal jobs, and things work out."
As for concerns that Kate might not be able to keep her farmhouse in Pennsylvania where she and the children reside, Jon responded: "I don't have a farm on 24 acres and the kids seem to have a great time at my house."
Jon, whose divorce from Kate played out on TV in 2009, says he's given up his reality career and is leading a simple life, working as a computer support engineer.
"I go to work every day and provide for my family," he said. "I spend time with my kids – spend time on the weekends … and enjoy a normal lifestyle."

What Doctors are Saying About Those New Cholesterol Meds
Over the past week, a horse race accelerated among drug makers looking to dominate the next generation of cholesterol-lowering medicines in development for people who can't take statins. Amgen filed for FDA approval for its PCSK9 inhibitor, while Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, which are working together, released encouraging study results.
To what extent these medications will become blockbusters remains to be seen. But a new survey of physicians suggests the potential for these new injectable treatments is, in fact, huge, although this will depend on outcome data, pricing, the adoption of new treatment guidelines. Another factor is whether both doctors and patients can be convinced to pursue an injectable option.
To wit, the survey of 100 U.S. cardiologists, endocrinologists and primary care physicians prompted analysts at the Leerink brokerage firm to estimate that each of the drugs could eventually generate $4.3 billion in peak annual sales. They note that roughly 9.4 million Americans may be intolerant to statins and, therefore, candidates for a PCSK9 inhibitor.
So what are some of the key take-away messages? For one, 96% of the doctors are familiar with new cholesterol treatment guidelines issued by the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology, and 61% expect their prescribing behaviors to modestly or moderately change. Another 11% expect an even greater impact. The upshot is more aggressive use of treatments longer term.
What about the potential for the new drugs, though? Well, 11% of patients with high cholesterol are considered to be intolerant to statins by the physicians surveyed, and they estimate that only 45% of their patients do not sufficiently achieve lowered cholesterol goals. But the doctors believe only 21% of those treated with statins to have such inadequate drops in LDL, or bad cholesterol, that may warrant a different type of treatment.
Nonetheless, the physicians believe that roughly 40% of their patients who either cannot tolerate statins or do not achieve adequate drops in LDL cholesterol will be prescribed the new PCSK9 inhibitors. And nearly 40% of those patient groups could be treated by either of the new drugs in the first year of availability. Of course, such a rapid uptake may be tempered by actual practice.
Not surprisingly, physicians have a slight preference for once-a-month dosing – 43% compared with 29%. However, 78% say they would like to have both dosing options available. At the same time, they say dosing frequency is the least important issue behind effectiveness, safety, tolerability and reimbursement.
In any event, the survey also suggests the drug makers have another issue – 79% of the doctors say they view both drugs to be similar and undifferentiated, although 19% prefer evolocumab, the Amgen treatment, while 2% prefer alirocumab, which is being developed by Sanofi and Regeneron. Why? A key reason cited was that more data on the Amgen was available for review, but this will likely change over time.
We asked Amgen for its reaction and will let you know what comes back. Meanwhile, Regeneron gave a presentation this morning for investors in which exec reiterated that 21 million people in the US and the top 5 markets in Europe are thought to be at high cardiovascular risk and continue to have elevated LDL, and that none of the existing treatments have been shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes on top of statins.

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie would have been a contender if he jumped into the presidential race, a poll released this morning by Quinnipiac University shows.
The poll found Christie tied with former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney as the leading candidate for the GOP nomination, each with 17 percent support from Republican and Republican-leaning voters. Next was businessman Herman Cain, who got 12 percent, followed by Texas Gov. Rick Perry at 10 percent.
Christie also leads President Obama, getting 45 percent to the presidents' 42 percent.
"This survey shows Gov. Christie is walking away from the possibility — at least today — to be elected president of the United States," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "Whether he would have won the GOP nomination or the election will never be known, but the data indicate he had a serious chance to win it all."
But while Christie performs well in the poll, most are still not familiar with him. Fifty-nine percent of voters have not heard enough about Christie to have an opinion, while 23 percent see him favorably and 17 percent unfavorably
Without Christie in the race, Romney leads the pack for the GOP nomination at 22 percent to Cain's 17 percent and Perry's 14 percent. Romney also leads Obama 46 percent to 42 percent.
"With Christie out of the race, Romney has some breathing room. Let's see if the emerging Herman Cain has staying power," said Brown.
The poll of 2,118 registered voters was conducted between September 27 and October 3. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.1 percentage points. For the Republican primary questions, Quinnipiac surveyed 927 voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.

Meazza or San Siro stadium, playing on alternate Sundays. In 1899 AC (Associazione Calcio or Football Association) Milan was founded by players from the Milan Cricket and Football Club. Eight years later, a splinter group broke away to form Inter in reaction to a ruling banning foreigners playing in the championships. Inter – or the Internationals – were traditionally supported by the middle classes, while AC Milan, with its socialist red stripe, claimed the loyalty of the city's working class. This distinction was blown apart in the mid-1980s when the ardent capitalist Silvio Berlusconi bought the ailing AC and revived its fortunes, leaving many an AC fan with a moral quandary. Their twice-yearly derbies are a highlight of the city's calendar and well worth experiencing live. Read More

Hi. I am Karen Pior and Sew Well Maide is where I wear my business hat. I also have other hats - Mother to five, Wife to one (!!!), Sister, Daughter, Friend. My hats are interchangable or, as frequently happens, worn precariously stacked on top of each other!!
I am passionate about all things fabric and textile. I love drafting my own patterns and then sewing beautiful, unique and individual garments from them. This has become my latest obsession passion! I love patchwork quilts both modern and antique. I love the excitement of designing quilts and accessories and stacks of fabric bolts give me a quiet little thrill!
I teach pattern drafting, sewing, quilting and crochet to all who are interested in dipping their creative fingers into all these pies! It is wonderful to see the excitement of accomplishment on the faces of my students.
Knitting is my nirvana. The click clack of the needles is both soothing and peaceful. It quietens a busy mind and lulls me into another world full of possibilities or nothing in particular!!! Crocheting is so quick and produces such wonderful textures that I can't resist it. When I hang out on Ravelry and Flickr I am known as Knitting Maide.
When time allows I love reading, veggie gardening and watching tv. And I try to never, ever miss an opportunity to yell and cheer as the football, soccer, cricket and ballet Mum.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, almost two-thirds of home fire deaths happen in fires in properties without working smoke detectors.
When the weather turns colder, it's a good time to make sure your smoke detector is working. Change the batteries in all smoke detectors in your home.
If you use a space heater, never leave it unattended. Make sure it is not operating when you are sleeping. Keep combustible materials at least three feet away from the space heater. Make sure the heater plug fits tightly in the wall outlet.
If you plan on using the fireplace, make sure it is clean and the chimney flue is open.
Following these measures will help prevent house fires during the cold season.

Jonathan Gabbai, Global Innovations Manager in Ebay, and Raj Ramabadran, Microsoft Platform Strategy Advisor, join

In the first part of the interview Jonathan will show us the Ebay Web Slices, Accelerator and Visual Search Provider, explaining how the team built them based on users feedbacks.
In the second part of the interview he will talk about the new IE8 Ebay Silverlight Sidebar, an explorer bar - built entirely with Silverlight - that offers many features to Ebay "pro-users".
For developer resources, you can start from here.
Oops, something didn't work.
During the Beta and RC period we run many usability labs, and what we found out is that users like to have and use more than 1 search provider; to switch quickly from one to another, you can type your search keyword, and then with the mouse click on the
other search provider icons. This will allow you to write once your query, and run it across different search providers. Sharon, our IE PM for Visual Search, has written an interesting post on the
IE blog. Finally, in order to preserve users customization, we allow you to set your default search provider (the one with the focus by default); you can change this setting going to "Manage Search Providers".
Favorites bar: that "gap" is the minimum amount of space needed to show a web slice icon or favorite link title. Being able to flip it to the other side is a good feedback; to be honest we never heard this request before, but I will bring this feedback to the IE Team.
Please keep posting your feedbacks!
Web slices: they will be live on the www.ebay.com site very soon! I know Ebay is pushing an update to their site at the same time I'm writing this post, and it will take a few hours/days to propagate across all the web servers.

Tyler Greene still confident despite struggles
July 12, 2012 - Mitch Rupert
By MITCH RUPERT
Tyler Greene is supremely confident. Hell, call it cocky.
He knows it. He's not going to deny it. He understands that his numbers don't necessarily dictate him being as confident as he is, but he also understands that to play baseball at a professional level you have to be so confident that it borderlines, or is, cockiness.
The Williamsport Crosscutters' second baseman has struggled through a season in which his strikeout percentage is alarmingly high. But after going through another day of batting practice on Thursday at Bowman Field, the 19-year old from Florida is still in a positive mindset about a season that saw him start at Lakewood only to be sent back to Williamsport.
"There's still a lot of season left. It's only been 20-some games," Greene said. "I feel like I'm turning it around and I feel pretty good. I'm just keeping a positive note. My swing is getting better as we go on."
Greene's philosophy has been simple this year, play hard, be confident and eventually everything will fall into place. He knows the numbers he's put up over two leagues and 41 games this year aren't anything spectacular, but he still feels good.
The most eye-popping number on Greene's stat line is that he's struck out 68 times in 142 at-bats. He's struck out in more than 40 percent of his at-bats at both Lakewood and Williamsport.
But Greene isn't a stat guy. He knows the number is high, but he's not putting the stock into it that maybe those who follow the team would.
"I've been swinging at bad pitches and getting myself out, really," he said. "I haven't been swinging at strikes and they don't really have to throw strikes to get me out, because when they do, I'm hitting them. So I'm not worried about that at all. You're going to strike out. It's baseball. You're also going to get hits, so I'm not worried at all."
The former 11th-round pick out of West Boca Raton (Fla.) High School made a valid point. When he puts the ball in play, he's generally successful. His batting average on balls in play with Williamsport was at .343 before Thursday night's game against Tri-City.
It's a number that's a little higher than the mean, which is generally believed to be somewhere between .290 and .310. But Greene is an interesting case study. He's got tremendous raw power, and is more than capable of hitting the ball out of even the most spacious of ballparks like Bowman Field. And generally, when he makes contact, he barrels the ball.
Take Tuesday night's series opener against the ValleyCats for instance. He struck out in his first and third at-bats of the night. But in his second at-bat he hit a solid single over the shortstop's head to drive in Larry Greene Jr. with one of the two runs the Crosscutters scored.
When he talked about Tuesday's game, his focus was placed more on the at-bat in which he was able to come through with a big hit, as opposed to his strikeout after an eight-pitch at-bat with two runners in scoring position in the second inning.
It's all a part of Greene's positive outlook. He plays the game hard. He works hard during batting practice and fielding drills. And he's supremely confident that he can be the player he was when he hit .276 in 17 games in the Gulf Coast League a year ago, putting him on the radar as a young Phillies prospect with the likes Mitch Walding, Roman Quinn and Larry Greene Jr.
"I still am pretty confident about all the progress I've made since the GCL," Greene said. "The numbers haven't showed that, but I know that and I think other people do, too. It might not show, but I feel a lot better. I feel like I'm a lot better baseball player than I was when I first started in the GCL."
Greene is making the necessary adjustments to his swing and to his approach at the plate all while also trying to learn a new position. He hadn't played second base since being signed by the Phillies last summer.
When he went to Lakewood this spring, he was the BlueClaws' starting shortstop and it wasn't until he was reassigned to extended spring training that he was asked to try out second base. He's part of a Williamsport infield that at times boasts three current or former shortstops in Greene, Quinn and Walding.
He's made just four errors in 18 games as he's learning the new position. He said the most difficult part of the transition has been in turning double plays and getting the feed from the shortstop or third base knowing a runner is bearing down on him, but not being able to see him sliding into the bag.
But it's just another thing that Greene feels he has been doing well and will only get better with. It's all a part of that supreme confidence. And it's that confidence, he feels, that's going to help him get back to Lakewood and continue to climb through the Phillies' organization.
"If you ask anyone around, I'm probably one of the cockiest kids, and most confident kids on the team," Greene said. "I don't really worry about how I'm playing. I know if I'm not hitting well at the plate I can use my glove and save a run or make a play to help us win.
"You can't get too high and you can't get too low, whether you're 4 for 4 with four home runs, or 0 for 4 with four strikeouts. I take that approach every day.'

Seven years ago Paulina Porizkova was looking at herself in the mirror when "it struck me: My face was no longer immaculate," she recalls. "All of a sudden it was crinkled up a bit—I was like, Whoa. I suffered over that for weeks!" Today the former supermodel may not have learned to love her lines, but she has at least come to accept them. "I consider Botox all the time," she admits, "but I see the wrinkles and the sag and think, Not bad for 42."
She's not as forgiving as the new judge on America's Next Top Model, where she has taken Twiggy's seat alongside Tyra Banks. In her very first episode, for example, Porizkova compares one of the competitors to a transvestite. "Paulina's as argumentative and opinionated as she is beautiful," notes fellow judge Nigel Barker. Porizkova, however, says she's helping the contestants with her bluntness. "If they really want to be models," she says, "they will hear much worse."
She certainly did. Though a two-time SPORTS ILLUSTRATED swimsuit cover girl, "I have been criticized from my eyeballs to my toes," says the size-2 beauty, who was once asked to consider liposuction on her thighs and developed a complex about her "cherub knees." ("It's when you stand straight and you can see a pudgy angel face in your kneecap," she explains.) Now, though, when she looks at old photos, "I'm like, Damn! That's a fabulous body. I can't believe that belonged to me," she says.
Actually, the 5'11" Porizkova weighs only 2 lbs. more than when she modeled. But she says that after having her sons—Jonathan, 14, and Oliver, 9—with her husband of 18 years, the Cars' frontman Ric Ocasek, 58, "my boobs went bye-bye" (from a B cup to an A), and her waist expanded from 23 to 26 inches. An even more dramatic change? Having to work out to maintain what she's got. "I had never been a person to go to the gym," admits Porizkova, but she now exercises five times a week. "I don't have 'heavy clothes' and 'light clothes,'" she says, "so if I eat cookies and don't go to the gym, I won't fit into my pants!"
And she likes her cookies: Many a Saturday afternoon she can be found curled up with a batch of oatmeal raisin as she watches hours of reality TV at the family's Manhattan home. Her guilty pleasure? Rock of Love. "My husband is like, 'How can you watch this?' I'm like, 'How can you not?'"
Despite their differences (she lives in sweats; he wears velvet pants to write music in the basement), "Ric is the most loving husband," says Porizkova, adding that they try for a weekly date night. "We just go out to dinner and talk about books," she says. "And we discuss politics a lot, because he's totally Obama and I'm totally Hillary!" As for quality time with her sons, Porizkova says it's usually spent playing video games—because she's still a kid at heart. "I play World of Warcraft," she says proudly. "I'm a nerd's dream!"

MOBILE, Alabama – A man who failed to follow through with a guilty plea last week in the rape of his girlfriend got another deal today but found it worse that the original offer.
Justin Daniel Gaskins, 29, pleaded guilty to first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy and a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. Mobile County Circuit Judge Robert Smith accepted the plea bargain and sentenced him to 20 years, with five years in prison and the rest suspended.
Had Gaskins gone forward on Thursday, he would have been sentenced to 15 years in prison for rape, with all but two years suspended. The other charges would have been dismissed.
Assistant District Attorney Kristy Dugan said waiting made the plea costlier for Gaskins.
"I think it's justice for the citizens of Mobile County and justice for the victim," she said.
Defense attorney Zackery Moore declined to comment.
Dugan recited the facts of the case for Smith: Gaskins and his girlfriend had gone to a bar and began to argue. Returning on Jan. 6, 2011, to the home they shared in the city's Leinkauf neighborhood, Gaskins struck the woman repeatedly and then raped her.
Dugan said the victim suffered a black eye and other bruises to the face.
Gaskins initially denied having sex and then told investigators that he remembered pulling down her pants, Dugan said. She added that he told police that if his girlfriend said they had sex, it must have happened.
Doctors performed a rape kit on the victim at the hospital, and investigators matched the defendant's DNA.
On Thursday, Gaskins started to plead guilty to rape but told the judge he was doing so because it was in his best interests. Dugan insisted on an explicit admission of guilt and withdrew the plea offer when he refused.
This morning, just before the trial was to begin, Gaskins gave that admission.
"I guess he wanted to plead guilty today," Dugan said.
After serving his prison term, Gaskins will be supervised by the Mobile County Community Corrections Center for five years. He also must register as a sex offender and have no contact with the victim.Follow Brendan Kirby on Twitter: Follow @BrendanKKirby

Having the right kind of flight training experience can make a big difference in how efficient and effective you are as a pilot. In her article "Flying is Not a Spectator Sport," author Susan Parson explains the importance of being an active participant during your flight training and offers tips on how to stay engaged during the learning process. One of those pointers Parson highlights is a debriefing technique known as collaborative critique. This method uses a four-step process to replay, reconstruct, reflect, and redirect the flight experience. Parson also stresses the real world experience gained from scenario-based training and its ability to sharpen a student's decision-making skills during an unexpected event.

As a former college-level athlete, I appreciate the tremendous impact sports have on the development of character and work ethic. It is hard to imagine a world without sports.
However, sports do come with their own set of risk factors, some of which could result in severe and permanent injury that could follow a child for the rest of his or her life.
A traumatic brain injury is defined as a blow to the head or a penetrating injury that disrupts normal brain function.
Typically, the brain is shaken within the skull, which can cause bruising at the point of impact and where the brain then impacts the skull.
In severe cases, it can cause shearing or tearing of brain cells as the brain moves over the bony parts of the skull. A person can lose consciousness, be confused or disoriented, and/or have residual cognitive impairment (i.e., memory, attention), personality changes and be at greater risk for the onset of seizures.
Although not necessary to diagnose a concussion, even a brief loss of consciousness following a blow to the head is indicative of a head injury.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (2005), 309,322 sports-related head injuries were treated at U.S. emergency rooms.
It is estimated that brain-related football injuries occur at a rate of one in every 3.5 games and that 15 percent of the players suffer at least one concussion each season (AANS, 2005).
However, recent research has shown that girls soccer is a leader in head injuries. This is believed to be related to the fact that girls' necks are not as strong, making them more susceptible to injury.
In most cases, a head injury is mild (i.e., a stinger) and the individual recovers without residual difficulties.
However, if the person continues to participate in sports and is injured before he or she has fully recovered, the results could be devastating.
Additionally, the effects of head injuries are cumulative, meaning with a new injury, the effects will be a result of the current injury plus the results of any previous injuries, even if they fully recovered from the initial one. Repeated injuries will make a full recovery less likely and it is impossible to predict the head injury that will result in serious consequences.
To avoid head injury, in any sport or recreational activity, participants always should wear appropriate safety gear, the playing surface should be free from debris, and parents should select leagues or teams that are committed to enforcing appropriate safety strategies.
More recently, the Youth Sports Act was signed into law. It is scheduled to take effect July 1, in time for the 2012-13 academic year.
The act outlines a plan to prevent and manage concussions that result from participation in interscholastic athletics. It requires education of coaches and parents, as well as outlines steps to evaluate head injuries and guidelines for deciding when a student can return to play.
In the end, it is the responsibility of the parents and the coaches to protect students. It may be devastating for the child to think of a life without contact sports; however, it will be more devastating if the child dies or is left permanently disabled due to continued play.
All things considered, if the potential dangers are appreciated and appropriate protective measures are taken, sports can be a wonderful tool in your child's development.

Wanda Freeman can see in her mind's eye several former students who could have turned out just like that emissary of ancient hatred who killed nine black people in a Charleston church last week.
But she also sees many more who left her classroom with a different perspective.
At 60, Mrs. Freeman — as I've always known her — just retired after 34 years of teaching. She was my eighth-grade English teacher in Myrtle Beach, S.C. A black woman, she taught about race and identity from her experience. She challenged, provoked and inspired us to know ourselves and to embrace our differences.
There are a handful of English teachers to whom I'll always feel indebted...

Flower Remedies have helped to teach me that a negative state of mind/emotions can be a kind of illusion. The world can look like a prison or a turmoil at one moment then after a drop of the right flower remedy resume its beauty and order. Get BACH FLOWER THERAPY by Mechthild Scheffer (or some other book) and remember to look in it for help when your world or your friends world is falling apart. Chicory helps balance those who are possessive and controlling. Flower Remedies are a gift! Remember what Clarissa Pinkola Estés says in THE TAO OF ELVIS "...whatever and whomever we love never die."

"It is rare to find a book on behavioral analysis that successfully incorporates theory and clinical utility. The ABCS of Human Behavior does, indeed, succeed. Ramnerö and Törneke provide the reader with a concise description of ideas dating back to Skinner as well as more recent treatments of such complex issues as understanding cognition. This engaging book will provide scholarly and practical information that is a must read for clinicians and students from all theoretical backgrounds."
—Christopher R. Martell, Ph.D., ABPP, clinical associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and psychology at the University of Washington and author of Depression in Context
"Along with the explosion of interest in newer psychotherapies such as ACT, behavioral activation, DBT, FAP, and mindfulness/acceptance/meditation based interventions, many clinicians who were not extensively trained in behaviorism want a deeper understanding of the fundamental behavioral processes and theory that that underlie these treatments. Up to now, this basic information was buried and dispersed in an array of textbooks, philosophical and theoretical treatises, and an extensive laboratory-based experimental literature. Ramnerö and Törneke have distilled the essentials of this (often) esoteric literature in a clearly written, comprehensive, up-to-date book that frequently illustrates the abstract principles with clinical applications. Operant conditioning, respondent conditioning, exteroceptive conditioning, stimulus control, establishing operation, functional analysis, relational framing, negative versus positive reinforcement, are a just a few examples of the concepts that are demystified, made understandable, and clinically relevant. The book is an ideal basic text for graduate students learning about behavioral psychotherapy (the author's name for the new treatments mentioned above) and will fulfill the needs the experienced clinician who wants a deeper understanding of these therapies."
—Robert J. Kohlenberg, professor of psychology at the University of Washington
"The authors combine advanced discussions about learning theory and behavioral analysis with straightforward and informative examples. The book also discusses the more recent theoretical developments within the fields of human language and cognition. Both beginners and experienced therapists will find much to learn from reading this book."
—Lennart Melin, Ph.D., professor of clinical psychology at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden

As the playoffs continue to progress for four teams, the rest of the NBA's franchises are now solely focused on the offseason.
The draft combine already took place in Chicago on Thursday and Friday, and on Tuesday, the draft lottery will commence.
While teams wait with bated breath as the Ping-Pong balls determine their fates, we can begin to make some early predictions for this year's draft.
Sure, the lottery's outcome could wildly affect the landing spots for many draft prospects, but as it stands right now, let's predict where the combine's stars will make their debuts on the professional level.
Aaron Gordon
Gordon may have been the stud of the combine.
He came in measuring 6'8.75'' with shoes on, along with an 8'9" reach and a wingspan of 6'11.75''.
Not only are his measurables coveted by NBA teams, but his athleticism stood out in a big way as well.
Gordon's 39" vertical was the highlight of the draft combine.
On his first attempt, he completely cleared the apparatus used to measure the drill. After combine staff raised the measuring device, he delivered one of the greatest leaps in combine history.
Gordon was already heralded as one of the best power forwards in the draft and appeared to be a lock in the lottery.
He did well for himself in Chicago and may be picked even sooner than expected. At this rate, Gordon may surpass Julius Randle and Noah Vonleh and become the first off the board at his position.
Prediction: No. 5 overall to Boston Celtics
Dante Exum
Draft prospect Aaron Gordon hits 39" on vertical jump. 3rd best among power forwards and centers in combine history. http://t.co/AGoiM01ZEd— ESPN Highlights (@HighlightsESPN) May 16, 2014
Exum was already a polarizing—albeit, relatively unknown—prospect heading into the combine.
Well, he did very nicely for himself in Chicago.
The 18-year-old guard impressed teams with his maturity during individual interviews, according to a tweet from Alex Kennedy of NBA.com:
His personality and intelligence over those interviews wasn't his only impressive feature.
Exum showcased his speed during on-court drills, besting the speed of some of the league's top players, according to a tweet from ESPN Stats & Info:
Teams that have met with Dante Exum have raved about him. He's doing very well in these interviews. He has a lot of fans around the league.— Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) May 16, 2014
His speed was a nice addition to his measurements—6'6" with shoes on with an 8'7" reach and a 6'9.5" wingspan. He added to his quality attributes with a nice standing vertical of 31.5".
Here's a look at his leaping ability, courtesy of NBA.com's Instagram account:
Dante Exum's 3/4 court sprint time of 3.19 is better than Chris Paul (3.22), Steph Curry (3.28), Damian Lillard (3.34)— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) May 16, 2014
Exum should be the first guard taken in this year's draft. Based on what we know about team needs early in the draft, he'll be a top-three selection.
Prediction: No. 3 overall to Orlando Magic
Zach LaVine
LaVine's decision to participate in the combine did wonders for his draft stock.
We already knew he is a great outside shooter and has freakish athleticism, but the spectacle he provided in Chicago impressed all onlookers.
LaVine's measurables are insane for a guard. He's 6'5.75" with shoes on, has an 8'4'' reach and a 6'8.25'' wingspan. Those attributes will be huge for driving into the lane on offense and defending the perimeter on the defensive end of the court.
Speaking of his ability to drive into the lane, his max vertical was fantastic, measuring 41.5". Take a look at his jump on the NBA's official Instagram account:
So how does that vertical translate to what he can accomplish in the NBA? Take a look at this great shot, via a tweet from BallIsLife.com:
LaVine's been hovering around the bottom half of many mock drafts across the web. However, after his combine showing, he could easily move within the first 14 selections.
Prediction: No. 14 overall to Phoenix Suns

Oregon has nothing to complain about their seeding this time; the Ducks are a 7 and will face 10, BYU, in a West Regional, Saturday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After most projections had the Ducks in the 8/9 slot this is great, and puts the Ducks in as good a position for a run as they could have hoped for.
Oregon beat BYU 100-96 in overtime in Matthew Knight Arena last December, and the Cougars will be without their second best player, guard, Kyle Collinsworth, who tore his ACL in the Cougars conference championship game against Gonzaga, last week. Collinsworth led BYU in rebounds, 8.1, assists, 4.6, and was second in scoring, 14.0. The Cougars are led in scoring by Taylor Haws, 23.4, Haws got 32 in the game against the Ducks. If the Ducks get by BYU, they would likely face #2 Wisconsin in the second round.
Arizona is #1 in the West; the Wildcats should beat Weber St, and then probably match up with Oklahoma St. UCLA is #4 in the South; The Bruins have Tulsa in the first round, and probably Stephen F. Austin in the second round. Stanford is #10 in the South; the Cardinals have a tough draw, facing #7 New Mexico, and then likely, #2 Kansas in the second round. Colorado, #8 in the South, goes up against a good Pittsburgh Panthers team, and if they get past them, would probably have to deal with overall #1, Florida in the second round. Arizona State is#7 in the Midwest; the Sun Devils meet Texas in the first round, and probably #2 Michigan in the second round.

Capable of machining tubes ranging from 0.010" to 0.030" in diameter, Kyocera Tycom's new line of micro down/up cut end mills has been designed to minimize the processing steps required to produce burr-free holes or slots.
Working with these end mills, users can create holes or slots in both sidewalls in one pass. According to the company, the tubing's ID edge finish is virtually burr-free, as material is extracted outward during milling. The company adds that a minimal burr remains on the OD tube, which can then be removed by tumbling.

Pa. House approves 'In God We Trust' posting bill
HARRISBURG -- The Pennsylvania House voted overwhelmingly Monday to authorize schools to post "In God We Trust" and the Bill of Rights in the buildings, although the sponsor said schools already had that power and some opponents criticized the bill.
The legislation, approved 172-24, had been watered down from a version that mandated the national motto be posted.
"School districts are free to put it up right now, but many of them are afraid to," based on concerns about being confrontational or prompting litigation, said the prime sponsor, Rep. Rick Saccone, R-Allegheny.
The National Motto Display Act credits 19th century Pennsylvania Gov. James Pollock with suggesting the phrase be added to currency. Congress and President Dwight Eisenhower made it the national motto nearly 60 years ago.
Rep. Mike O'Brien, of Philadelphia, one of 23 Democrats to vote against it, said he did not believe God needed the legislature's help.
"Our role is not to create a theocracy, but to create a commonwealth that represents all people of all beliefs, and I think that this piece of legislation is nothing but an exercise in silliness," O'Brien said.
A Senate Republican spokesman said the bill will be reviewed, but there is no timetable for it to be considered.

How Could the Microsoft Kinect Possibly Be the Fastest-Selling Consumer Electronic?
Move over, Apple. Your almighty iPad has been trumped as the fastest selling consumer electronic by none other than…wait for it…the Xbox Kinect? Surely I can't be the only one slightly perplexed by this, right?
According to Guinness World Records, Microsoft's hands-free motion control sensor sold 8 million units during the first two months of its release. To put these numbers into perspective, that's an average of 133,333 units per day! Apple's iPad, which previously held the record for being the fastest selling consumer electronic, sold 2 million units during the first two months of its release (or an average of 33,333 units per day).
The most recent sales figure for the Kinect is 10 million units sold as of March 9, 2011. Quite impressive, I must say. There are always two sides to the story, though. The second side to this story happens to reveal something slightly peculiar about consumers' post-purchase behavior for the Kinect. On that note, let's get down to the nitty gritty. Microsoft has also boasted selling 10 million standalone Kinect games. You may be thinking that's a lot, but you have to consider that there are also 10 million Kinect sensors floating around. That's a 1:1 software-hardware attach rate. In other words, for every Kinect sold there was only, on average, one game purchased for that $150 accessory. To be fair, some Kinect sensors come bundled with a game (much like the Wii console being bundled with the Wii Sports game) so that is going to bring the Kinect's attach-rate down slightly.
So how do gaming consoles compare to the Kinect with their own software-hardware attach rates? The Xbox 360, at launch, boasted a hefty 4:1 attach rate. The Wii followed closely behind with a respectable 3:1 ratio. The Playstation 3 played catch-up during its launch with a 1.5:1 attach rate.
Now that we have some perspective with these attach rates, I can't help but ask…why in the world would you buy a $150 accessory for your Xbox 360 to play only one game with it? (Keep in mind a new Xbox 360 itself costs only $199 so you're practically purchasing a whole new system) Is Microsoft laughing all the way to the bank by playing consumers like a fiddle with its massive hype machine? There has to be some explanation to this madness.
One explanation for this is the lack of software for the Kinect. There just aren't very many games out for it, let alone GOOD games. Arguably the best game for it is Dance Central, but that only appeals to you if you're into dancing or flailing your body around your living room like a possessed soul (if you're into that kinda thing). All joking aside, I'm sure it's a fun game for some, but it's definitely not to my taste. It just doesn't seem like there are many games out there to hold the attention of Kinect owners, so instead they let it collect dust next to their plastic guitars (no offense to Guitar Hero/Rock Band players, but the music game craze came and went).
Now don't get me wrong, I think the Kinect is a cool piece of technology with tons of potential and I think it's great that it's doing so well sales-wise, but sadly game developers aren't taking full advantage of its capabilities. This is why I'm baffled as to how Microsoft managed to sell 10 million of these things, making it the fastest selling consumer electronic ever. The only concrete thing I learned from all of this is that Microsoft sure knows a thing or two about successful marketing!
So now I must turn to YOU, my fellow QLP blog readers, to help make sense of this insanity. Have I missed some obvious explanation to these contradicting sales numbers? Do you, or anyone you know, own a Kinect? Did Kinect owners simply get tricked by the hype machine, or is this shiny new electronic worth the investment?
Bubba is the Quality Logo Products mascot. He may have started out as "just a stress ball," but he's come a long way since the company's launch in 2003. Bubba has been immortalized in numerous vector artwork designs for internal and external promotions, and you can see him change outfits on the Quality Logo Products homepage whenever a holiday rolls around. Oh, and he thinks pants are for the birds. You can connect with Bubba on Google+
I got one! They are really fun!
I think you should invite me over so I can kick your butt in some Kinect Foosball! 🙂
Kinect Fooseball!!!!??? That sounds awesome! =)
Excellent post, Kyle! I'm big on statistics these days, and I'm a casual gamer as well, so I definitely find these numbers interesting.
Given that the Kinect hardware itself is so expensive, I'm sure that Microsoft is somewhat satisfied with their sales figures. They've obviously made a pretty penny off of their latest device, even though sales have obviously plateaued and will likely remain that way until the next holiday season.
I'd argue that Microsoft's main goal in developing the Kinect was to take a bite out of the family gaming market—more specifically, Nintendo's market. The Wii is still the top selling home console, and Microsoft is probably sick of their Xbox being the runner up (which ironically was also the case during the previous generation of consoles).
Anyway, now that the hype surrounding the Kinect is over with, we'll see what happens in the long run. If Microsoft can't manage to release any great games for it in the near future, they may have to chalk it up as a failure.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to find these numbers interesting. Microsoft really did a great job getting consumers interested in the Kinect. It'll be interesting to see if they can hold the attention of these 10 million Kinect owners (I don't think I'll ever get used to that HUGE number). Who knows, maybe I'll be writing a post a year from now about how much I love the Kinect. Crazier things have happened so I wouldn't be surprised.
Those numbers are strange indeed! If there's a 1:1 attach rate, that means some people bought multiple games, and many bought NONE. Like you said, Wii had a bundled game, but still managed at 3:1 attach rate. I honestly have no idea what the problem could be, other than as Jill said, the requirements to play the system are pretty demanding. Maybe a lot of people bought it and THEN decided it wasn't worth the hassle?
Great job pointing out the fact that some Kinect owners purchased ZERO games with their hardware. It seems with the 1:1 attach rate that some Kinect owners purchased the device and found that it didn't work as smoothly as they would've liked or just didn't work with their gaming setup in general due to space limitations so they ended up not purchasing any games for it at all. Some interesting stuff for sure!
Stick with the Wii… the graphics are so much better. Bowling, tennis, golf… what else do you need?
Wii's Ping Pong is my fave!!! =)
I wouldn't necessarily say the Wii's graphics are better than the Kinect's considering the Wii outputs at sub-HD resolutions (480p maximum), while the Xbox 360 outputs at full HD (1080p maximum though most games run at 720p). The hardware running the Kinect is impressive. It's just the games that are somewhat lackluster as of now.
Awesome post Kyle….I had no clue that the Kinect was doing so well! But I think that's great, I'm always excited when something for Microsoft does so well; I have never been an Apple fan. I've never been into video games either, well besides playing Tetris on my cell phone and Ms. Pac Man on the computer…..I will forever love those games! =) I'm thinking that maybe Kinect did so well because it was compared to the Wii (which I think most people love), but it was even better because you didn't need any controls to hang on to. I would think that for people who like to do this kind of gaming, the price paid was worth it…..I hope they can come up with more games so that their high sales can stick around.
Thanks for the comment Amanda! I agree that the Wii's mass appeal helped pave the way for the Kinect's success. The market for casual gaming has grown leaps and bounds the past few years and it seems as if Microsoft took advantage of the opportunity. Now that Microsoft has moved that much hardware, hopefully they start pumping out quality games for it. Only time will tell!
I saw this on Digg and was surprised at the stats. I have a Kinect and I own 3 games for it currently with plans to buy more. i think it is amazing, I had a Wii but now I gave it to my nephew since i think the Kinect is superior. I have a small living room, I stand about 4-5 feet from the TV and the Kinect camera and it works perfectly well.
I also hate Apple, so seeing this has outsold the iPad is awesome 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to read this and comment. It's good to hear a Kinect owner's opinion on this. What games do you enjoy the most? I have to admit that I'm very interested in the technology behind it, but I have yet to find a game that grabs my attention.
Ok – I'll bite; 8 million units sold in the first 2 months – but how many of those were returned? 🙂
Microsoft is good at a LOT of things, mostly software, but when it comes to marketing – not so much. They have failed to market and make any significant inroads into two major growth areas they need to in order to succeed as a business – search engine marketing (BING!) and smart phones (Windows Mobile).
Arguably, video games, ONE of the very few things that Microsoft does very well – primarily because before they launched the Xbox almost 5 years ago, they realized video game systems don't sell themselves – it's the games that run on them that sell the hardware. They bought Bungie (maker of the popular "Halo" video game series) and others – so at launch the original Xbox 360 had a KILLER lineup.
The Kinect – not so much. I'm still waiting for a version of Halo and/or Mortal Kombat to come out for the Kinect. Then, and only then, will I run out and buy one.
… let's not forget that BOTH the Playstation Move and Microsoft Kinect were each released right before the busy holiday shopping season, one that didn't have very many STAND OUT products this season (I know I was struggling with WHAT to by my geek brother-in-laws last year!), and the iPad came out in March, I think? Completely different sales cycles and target audience…
If Apple made an iPad for $150.00 – I doubt there would be a person on the planet NOT sporting one. It would literally be woven into our DNA.
That's a very good point. Comparing sales of the iPad to the sales of the Kinect is kind of like comparing apples to oranges because of the large price differences. Regardless of that though, the Kinect is still technically the fastest selling consumer electronic by a wide margin which I just find fascinating. Hopefully they can find a way back up those sales with some quality games.

Evans was at scene of fatal shooting
December 27, 2007
By Kathleen Brady Shea, Inquirer Staff Writer
High school basketball superstar Tyreke Evans drove a sport utility vehicle away from the scene after a passenger allegedly shot and killed a man last month, according to a Chester Township police affidavit that was released last week. Evans, who lives in the city of Chester, has not been charged with any crime. A senior at American Christian Academy in Aston, Delaware County, Evans is considered one of the nation's top high school players and is being heavily recruited by top-tier colleges, including Villanova, Memphis and Louisville.
High School Basketball Is Arena For A Story About A Troubled Girl
May 4, 1993
By David Delman, FOR THE INQUIRER
ONE ON ONE Fiction. By Tabitha King. Dutton. $23. This is a novel about two championship seasons. Two high-school basketball teams strive for their respective state titles, and though one is a girls' team neither is treated frivolously. Which means we may be dealing with some sort of landmark here. Unless I'm mistaken, young Deanie Gauthier, the female protagonist, follows no literary footprints as she pursues athletic achievement with the intensity and commitment of, say, Galahad after the Grail.

Piaa Loses Suit Alleging Sex Bias A Jury Ruled That The Organization's Bylaws Illegally Kept A Woman From Officiating Boys' High School Basketball.
December 19, 1998
By Joseph A. Slobodzian, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
In a verdict expected to open boys' high school basketball games across the state to officiating by women, a federal court jury ruled yesterday that PIAA bylaws had the illegal effect of keeping Noreen P. Kemether from refereeing boys' varsity and junior varsity games. The suit contended that Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association's bylaws gave local assigners too much autonomy in deciding who would officiate games, thus vesting an inordinate amount of power in "old-boy networks" that did not believe women should officiate boys' games.
Transfer Trend Changing The Face Of High School Basketball Pivotal Players Are Popping Up Everywhere. And Their Presence Will Certainly Decide Some League Titles.
December 10, 1993
By Frank Lawlor, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Archbishop Carroll, the Catholic League South runner-up in basketball last season, lost all five of its starters to graduation. Franklin Learning Center, the Public League runner-up, lost four. It follows, then, that coaches Tom Inglesby of Carroll and Pete Merlino of FLC should be lamenting that regrettable necessity known as rebuilding. Far from it. By March, both teams could be champions, and a single word explains why: Transfers. High school athletes have always changed schools, but this season key basketball players with new jerseys are popping up everywhere, more than ever.
His Awkward Homecoming Turns Even More Bizarre
February 27, 1997
By Marcia C. Smith, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Charles Baltimore left St. Maria Goretti High School five years ago as a fired coach of the school's floundering girls' basketball team and an outspoken critic about moral, racial and social issues in high school basketball. In protest, Baltimore, who is black, filed a federal lawsuit and a human-relations complaint against the Catholic League, contending racial discrimination. The principal at the time, Theresa McGhee, was transferred to another Catholic school. Baltimore eventually dropped litigation to go on with his life, accept a coaching job at Friends Select and later at Abington Friends, where he has coached the girls' team for three seasons.
Son of three-pointer's inventor recalls backyard experiments
March 22, 2010
By Mike Jensen, Inquirer Staff Writer
Growing up outside Springfield, Mass., Bob Steitz had a regulation basketball court in his backyard, half-court. It was more like a laboratory. Steitz, now the senior associate athletic director at Villanova, is the son of the longtime rules czar for college basketball. Ed Steitz was editor of the NCAA's basketball rules committee from 1968 until his death in 1990. "When I was playing high school basketball, [when] I was a sophomore . . . he started to chalk this line around the top of the key," Bob Steitz said.
American Christian isn't just the Tyreke Evans show
December 12, 2007
By JOSEPH SANTOLIQUITO For the Daily News
Delaware County has arguably the best high school basketball team in Pennsylvania in Chester. But there is no denying Delaware County has the best high school basketball player in the state - and possibly the country - in American Christian's Tyreke Evans. The slender, 6-6 shooting guard is being sought by Villanova, Memphis, Louisville, Connecticut and Texas, and has begun this season with a torrid start, averaging 35 points a game for the Eagles. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN, with Evans leading the way, has been ranked by a number of national news outlets as a top team in the country.
Play, Display Dajuan Wagner Made Jaws Drop. Hakim Warrick Made The Best Of It. Hype, Hope Mix As Young Stars Face Each Other
July 13, 2000
By Jerry Brewer, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
To understand Dajuan Wagner's magnificence and the spectacle packaged with it, look not at his awe-deserving slashes to the basket or that can't-be-in-high-school physique. Look instead at that slender player from Philadelphia in the background, the one who is just now catching the eye of college coaches. His name is Hakim Warrick. He is 6-foot-8 and listed at 205 pounds, but he may be a few Snickers bars lighter than that, and his nickname fits his frame - "Skinny. " His name was not in the handbook of the 2000 Nike All-American camp, where he, Wagner and about 180 more of the nation's top high school basketball players went last week to either impress college coaches or validate their talent.
Pca Chooses Anwar As Basketball Coach
June 25, 1998
By Marcia C. Smith, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Philadelphia Christian Academy, the Pentecostal prep school that attracted attention for giving some of the city's rising high school basketball players a second chance at better grades and college recruitment, has named David Anwar as its new basketball coach. Anwar, a Mount Airy resident and 1992 graduate of Abington Friends School, said he resigned last month as assistant basketball coach at Notre Dame Prep in Fitchburg, Mass., to take the PCA job vacated by Paul Rieser. "I just want to do what I can to get players ready academically and athletically to play at the college level," said Anwar, 25, who at Notre Dame Prep helped fifth-year high school players go on to college.

Mastery Charter North earns first-ever girls basketball state playoff win
March 7, 2016
By Kate Harman, For The Inquirer
Ayanna Mazyck lost her freshman year of high school basketball to bad grades. She lost the chance to play her sophomore season after she tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee during preseason. Her junior year? The grades are up, and the knee has a brace. Subsequently, she has jumped at the chance to finally be on the court, and has made some noise with the Mastery Charter North girls' team. The latest installment in a solid season was Mazyck's big-time performance in the first round of the PIAA Class 3A playoffs at Southern on Saturday.
Champion high school basketball team without a gym

ON DEC. 8, the young men of the Mathematics, Civics and Sciences Charter School's basketball team are slated to play their first game of the season at their home gym. The problem is, they don't have a home gym. Or any gym. For the past five years, the charter school, on Broad Street near Buttonwood across from the School District of Philadelphia headquarters, has paid $1,200 a month to use the gym at the Berean Institute, a barber school at...
La Salle stays fresh, moves on to semifinals
March 18, 2014
BY AARON CARTER, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com, 215-854-5814
JALEN HERDSMAN might not be much of a bowler, but that doesn't mean his work between the lanes didn't help his skills on the court for La Salle High. Well, indirectly anyway. High school basketball can become a grind after hours of schoolwork during the day followed by hours of practice in the evening and gobs of homework at night. And then - lather, rinse, repeat - for months. With that in mind, it may seem peculiar for Herdsman and La Salle to have appeared so energized in Saturday's PIAA quarterfinal win against Lower Merion, which had previously vanquished District 12 top-seed Roman Catholic.
Wilson's Perry breaking the mold
February 23, 2014
By Chris Melchiorre, For The Inquirer
Certain stereotypes are easy to dispel. Like the one about how girls can't play basketball. That's one Bernie Hynson had heard before he took over the Woodrow Wilson girls' team three years ago. He hadn't spent much time around the girls' game, and he didn't know exactly what to expect. But it took about 30 seconds of watching Chanelle Perry on a court to realize that, yes, girls can play basketball - and well, too. Even today, when Hynson looks at Perry, he sees a woman who breaks the mold, and not just on the court.
Roxborough big man inexperienced but effective
February 6, 2014
BY AARON CARTER, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com
AT 6-8, TYERE MARSHALL might seem a surprising underdog. That is until you find out the Roxborough High junior big man is playing his first season of high school basketball. Yesterday, Marshall's 17 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks helped the host, sixth-seeded Indians (12-10, 10-3) smack 11th-seeded Masterman, 67-47, in the Public League (Class AA) preliminary playoffs. Roxborough will play at High School of the Future tomorrow at 3:15. So, why did the Germantown resident suddenly decide to get into the game?

Daniels' most recent stint as a sports reporter was at the ABC affiliate in Raleigh-Durham, N.C., but her gig at Comcast SportsNet is a homecoming of sorts. Daniels hails from Brigantine, N.J., where she was a basketball star in her own right, making Sports Illustrated 's Faces in the Crowd section as an eighth-grader at Brigantine North Middle School, and achieving basketball stardom at Holy Spirit High School in Absecon, N.J. She attended George Mason University on a full athletic scholarship.

New York City coaching legend Jack Curran dies
March 16, 2013
Associated Press
NEW YORK - Jack Curran spent more than five decades compiling one of the best records in high school basketball and baseball. When former players, opponents, and those close to high school sports spoke of him upon learning of his death Thursday at 82, wins and titles didn't matter. They all spoke of the coach who spent the last half-century helping players - and not just those at New York's Archbishop Molloy, his school - get scholarships to college. "He was one of the true saints in scholastic sports," said Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca, whom Mr. Curran succeeded at Molloy.

Spotlight on: Gloucester Catholic freshman Maggie McIntyre Mikila Stefanski had sunk her previous two half-court shots. And watching her step up for a third try, Maggie McIntyre said, was about the most nerve-racking part of the South Jersey Invitational Basketball Tournament's three-point contest. "I could hardly watch," said McIntyre, a Gloucester Catholic freshman. After making the improbable shot in the quarterfinals and semifinals, Stefanski, a Cedar Creek junior, rimmed out what would have been the winner in the contest's championship pairing.
