CANTON-Moments after capping a huge win, South Williamsport players turned their muddy sideline into a slip and slide. One by one, players took turns sprinting and belly-flopping into the quagmire. The game was over and still the team did everything together which seemed fitting.
Together, South mounted a game-tying, 75-yard late fourth-quarter scoring drive. Together, South scored an overtime touchdown and converted a key 2-point play before making a dramatic defensive stand. Together, South again rallied in the fourth quarter to beat a 2011 district playoff qualifier that had thumped it last year.
Together, this team has South 2-0 for the first time since 1999.
Dominick Bragalone ran for a game-tying 45-yard touchdown, Matt Bartholomew scored a go-ahead touchdown in overtime and Brandon Stonge made a game-clinching tackle on an attempted 2-point conversion as South edged Canton, 22-20 in overtime, Saturday at rainy Miller A. Moyer Stadium.
"I haven't been on a team this good for a while. The team camaraderie is great," Stonge said. "We're all sweating and working hard and we have come together."
"We're brotherhood," senior center/linebacker Justin Knee said. "We just stay together and do it."
South struck first in overtime but Canton answered in dramatic fashion. On third-and-goal from the 10, quarterback John Bowman threw a pass that bounced off Chase Pepper and into Tim Bassett's arms at the 1. Bowman then snuck in for a controversial touchdown on fourth down, setting the stage for Stonge's dramatic stop.
Bassett ran right, but Stonge blew up the play from the start. The senior linebacker exploded through the line, wrapped Bassett and dropped him for a loss.
"We're just having fun and I read my guard and went in there and that was it," Stonge said. "That last play my heart was pounding. Everybody was great and we knew we were going to get the stop. When they ran the ball I was like we have to get in there and we have to stop them. It was done, we had it."
South lost 46-0 at Canton last season and had ample opportunities to get frustrated and let the game snowball out of control again. But this a new year and this a new team. The Mounties had gained 26 yards on their previous 21 plays when they took over at their own 25-yard line with 4:49 remaining.
A comeback win seemed a long shot, but the offensive line jelled and three talented running backs started making big plays. The biggest came when Bragalone exploded through a hole on the left side, shed two defenders and went 45 yards to tie it 14-14 with 2:04 remaining.
South had first possession in overtime and needed three plays to take the lead. Bartholomew (113 yards) ran in from four yards out to make it 20-14. Quarterback Tyler House had struggled, but when it mattered most on the following 2-point attempt he was perfect. House rolled left and under pressure threaded a nice pass to Stonge, making it 22-14.
"We just say let the game come to us and they just buck up, they stay the course. For two weeks they've done that," South coach Chris Eiswerth said. "They've worked so hard. These guys, even our young guys, work so hard at practice to give us good looks. It's just a total team effort."
Canton showed in defeat why it has been one of District 4 Class A's best programs the past six years. Preseason injuries forced Canton, dressing 26 players, to shuffle players to different positions but the Warriors overcame an early 8-0 deficit, slowed a powerful offense and nearly evened their record. Bowman played halfback last week before moving to quarterback, opening-week quarterback Garrett Wesneski moved to tackle, opening-week lineman Wes Moore moved to halfback and freshman Noah Barnett made his varsity debut.
The Warriors always have been as resourceful as they are tough and it showed again. Bowman scored on a 30-yard first-quarter run as Canton tied it 8-8 following Bartholomew's 63-yard touchdown run on South's third play. The Warriors took their first lead on the fourth-quarter's first play when Eddy Larcom, a cross country runner last year, threw a 25-yard halfback option touchdown to Barnett who made a great catch.
"I said no matter what happens, it's going to be a nail biter and if we just get out of there with a win that's all that matters," Eiswerth said. "With the program Miller (H. Moyer) has built and the athletes they have, we're just fortunate to come into Canton and get a win."
When Larcom intercepted House at the Mountie 30-yard line with 5:33 remaining it appeared Canton might have the game won. Just two plays later, though, South recovered a fumble at the 25-yard line and had new life. And despite going against a defense that had allowed just one first down on the previous 26 plays, the Mounties were brilliant.
"We have a good coaching staff and we have the coaches and players to do it," said Knee, who made a game-high 11 tackles. "We have a good line and we have backs that can do it with Stonge and Bartholomew and Bragalone. We just had to go all-out, no matter what."
The South defense played that way the whole game. South allowed just 179 yards and forced a three-and-out following Bragalone's touchdown. Billy Kepner, a two-way starter, highlighted that series with a third-down sack. Sam Buck and Tyler Jenkins also had sacks while all three facets of the defense played well.
"It's been a real journey but a journey that we're enjoying," Eiswerth said. "Every day with the kids is great. The staff and the kids, we're all trying to build a family and that's what I'm really proud of."

Easy Vegan Chocolate Ganachekathypatalsky
Cakes and cupcakes can be frosted or topped with rich and silky chocolate ganache. This easy vegan chocolate ganache recipe is delicious used over top cakes, cupcakes or even to frost freshly baked doughnuts. The texture of ganache starts out very wet and silky, but as it cools, it thickens up just enough so that it leaves a drizzled look on your bakery items. This rich chocolate-lovers recipe is one you will use again and again! And check out the secret ingredient I use….
secret ingredient: vegan sour cream! It adds a hint of creamy mystery to the ganache. Sort or how sour cream can enhance cheesecake.
Easy Chocolate Ganache
vegan, makes 1 3/4 cups ganache
1 cup dark chocolate chips, vegan
1/2 cup vegan sour cream (yes, sound weird, but it works!)
*I used follow Your Heart brand
3/4 – 1 cup powdered sugar, organic
2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
pinch of salt + a few drops vanilla or coffee extract (optional)
1. Add the chips and coconut oil to a medium bowl. Place in microwave for 30 seconds on high. Remove. Stir, stir, stir as the chips melt with the heated oil. If still lumpy, place back in microwave 10 seconds at a time and stir until creamy.
2. Add the powdered sugar to the melted chips. Using a hand or stand mixer, blend until very thick and combined. This will get really thick like a fudge.
3. Heat your vegan sour cream in the microwave for a good 30-60 seconds or until steamy and hot – melted. Add the hot sour cream to the chocolate and blend on low. The mixture will smooth out to a silky consistency within seconds. Blend until smooth. Fold in optional salt and flavorings to ganache. Set aside until needed. You should use within twenty minutes or you will need to re-warm the ganache — it will firm up as it cools.

Using Address Book Groups as Distribution Lists
An Address Book group can be used as a distribution list. For example, suppose you lead a book discussion club on the weekends. You can use a group to keep a list of all the people in the group. For multivalue properties such as telephone number and email address, the distribution list lets the you indicate which value should be used when sending a message to this group.
Generally, users will want to use the value marked as primary as the distribution identifier, but in some cases they will want to make an exception. For example, for coworkers, their primary email addresses are probably their work address. But messages about your weekend book club should be sent to their home addresses. This is accomplished by setting distribution identifier for the Book Club group to their home addresses.
To choose the value of a multivalue property that a group should use, use the
ABGroup method
setDistributionIdentifier:forProperty:person:. Every group can use a different value for each person. Users can also edit this from the Address Book application, by selecting Edit Distribution List from the Edit menu.
To get a group's chosen value for a multivalue property, use the
ABGroup method
distributionIdentifierForProperty:person:. If a distribution identifier is not set, this method returns the multivalue's primary identifier. If either the property or the person is
nil, the method returns
nil. the method also returns
nil if the property is not a multivalue list property, or if the person is not a member of the group. Use the
ABMultiValue method
valueForIdentifier: to get the value from with the distribution identifier.

ERS is interested in obtaining a better understanding of the study design considerations, such as complexity, feasibility, and cost, of integrating cost data with measures of customer behavior and satisfaction in an evaluation of the performance of the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. A number of previous studies have examined particular aspects of this issue, but none have used an integrated approach. Such an approach would clearly be desirable; however, its complexity, feasibility, and cost require consideration. To obtain a better understanding of the issues, ERS organized an expert workshop on the issue, to be followed by a report that will summarize the issues and recommend research that could be undertaken to improve the design of an integrated study. Additional funding of $6,993 was provided in fiscal 2002 in support of the expert workshop.

Accused Erie teacher faces new molestation charges
Authorities filed new child molestation charges Friday against an Erie teacher who is already awaiting trial in a separate 2011 child molestation case.
David M. Montgomery, 43, faces two felony counts each of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and aggravated indecent assault of a child younger than 13 years old and one felony count each of endangering the welfare of a child and corruption of a minor.
According to court records, the Erie County District Attorney's Office charged Montgomery after an 18-year-old man came forward in March to report that Montgomery had repeatedly molested him from when he was 8 until he was about 15.
The man said the incidents occurred at Montgomery's home when he was visiting Montgomery on various dates from June 2003 to December 2010.
To build the case, Erie County Detective Sgt. Joseph Spusta arranged for the man to call Montgomery on Monday and confront him about the alleged abuse. During the telephone conversation, which was recorded, Montgomery apologized several times, according to the criminal complaint against him.
Montgomery told the man he had not intended to hurt him and that he "believed their relationship was something special shared between the two of them," the complaint states.
Montgomery was arraigned on the new charges by Erie 2nd Ward District Judge Paul Urbaniak and placed in the Erie County Prison after failing to post $250,000 bond.
He had been free on bond and awaiting trial in May on one count each of indecent assault, endangering the welfare of a child and corruption of minors, all first-degree misdemeanors. In that case, he is accused of molesting a 10-year-old boy in December 2010.
Montgomery's lawyer, Gene Placidi, and District Attorney Jack Daneri declined to comment.
Montgomery had been previously suspended without pay from Northwest Pennsylvania Collegiate Academy pending the outcome of the first criminal case.
Matthew Cummings, the district's director of communications, said Friday that Montgomery will remain on unpaid suspension "pending the outcome of the legal processes."
Montgomery's certificate with the Pennsylvania Department of Education will remain suspended as well, Cummings said.
Cummings said neither case involves children who were Erie School District students.
In the 2011 case, police originally accused Montgomery of molesting three boys -- then 6, 9 and 12 -- while baby-sitting at his house in December 2010.
The prosecution, however, dropped the charges relating to the two younger boys in November amid challenges to the evidence raised by Placidi.

New Jersey school officials will be watching a federal appeals court in Philadelphia for guidance in dealing with the problem of students sending inappropriate photos via cellphone text messages, according to a report on NorthJersey.com.
The report said law enforcement officials often suggest prosecution of these cases based on child pornography statutes, but the legal framework is uncertain. The pending appeals court ruling would be binding in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and the Virgin Islands.

Atlas Unveiled as 'World's Biggest Book'
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 10.06.10 | 12:24 PM ET
Australian publisher Gordon Cheers debuted a six-by-nine-foot atlas at the Frankfurt Book Fair. He's pretty cocky about it, too. From the AFP:
"It's all about creating a legacy," the Sydney-based publisher said. "Today, everything is digital and it's gone in a second. This will still be around in 500 years."
The book took around a month to produce and Cheers is limiting the print run of his monster Atlas to 31. He has already sold two volumes to museums in the United Arab Emirates and is confident he will sell the whole lot.
But is it really the world's biggest book? As of this post, Wikipedia disagrees!

After winning the Heisman Trophy, Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III has a decision to make—return to school where he has another year of eligibility or enter the 2012 NFL Draft.
Griffin continues to ponder his future, but told USA Today, "If the NFL comes knocking, I'm pretty sure you're answering that door."
Last month, Griffin told this to the San Antonio Express-News:
"I'm not trying to make a decision anytime soon. I'll push it off as long as I possibly can. For me, I don't want it to be a matter of money, or whether or not I'm not a high enough (draft) pick so I need to come back. ... It's just about if it's time for me to go, then it's time to go."
Griffin is a fourth-year junior with at least one game remaining for the Bears. That will be Dec. 29 against Washington in the Alamo Bowl.
— Griffin's Heisman puts Baylor in the spotlight
— Bears team page: All about Baylor's 2011 triumph
— Draft Dish: RG3 would fit with Redskins
In the view of pro scouts, that knocking you hear is a quarterback-desperate team looking for a smart, athletic leader to makes its foundation.
Griffin at 6-2, 210 pounds was regarded as a good athlete with potential when he arrived at Baylor, but raw as a passer. What stands out this college football season is how much he improved in the pocket. Most notable are his awareness, poise under pressure and accuracy.
Scouts are now intrigued by his NFL potential based on his growth at quarterback.
Griffin isn't perfect. His mechanics are not polished. His release is not compact, although he gets rid of the ball quickly with surprising accuracy from different throwing angles.
Griffin does have NFL arm strength with accuracy on deep throws. Add to that his ability to make plays running with the ball, you have the makings of a new-age quarterback. That means a player of the Cam Newton ilk.
There are questions about Griffin's size. Scouts suspect he likely will be a shade under 6-2 when they are able to measure him. And despite weighing more than 200 pounds, Griffin looks thin on film. That could raise concerns about his durability, especially after he left Baylor's game against Texas Tech with a reported concussion.
However, Griffin returned for the Bears' regular-season against Texas. He ran for two touchdowns, passed for two more and led them to a 48-24 victory over the Longhorns in a statement game on national television.
A week later, Griffin was awarded the Heisman Trophy.
He's a smart young man who has graduated from Baylor with a degree in political science. His plans include enrolling in law school.
Griffin has work to do to be the polished quarterback that NFL teams usually demand, but he's a superior athlete with outstanding intelligence and intangibles.
That pretty much assures he will be a top-10 pick—as long as he measures taller than 6-1.

A perfect compliment to the jacket and a stronghold barrier to the elements, the Pantanal Bibs will keep the frosty burn off your legs. Constructed with a GORE-TEX® laminate, micro check backer, and reinforced knees and seat, this is an ideal solution whether your in a layout or in a boat.
The Pantanal Bib is for hunters and guides who put their gear through the ringer. It combines a waterproof GORE-TEX® Hardshell with a micro ripstop face fabric and abrasion reinforcement in the knees and seat, so you can bust through cornfields and brush without worry. The interior is insulated with a body-mapped, moisture-wicking micro check fleece to provide warmth where you need it while eliminating bulk where you need freedom to move.
All zippers are welded and watertight. The front zipper and full-length side zips make for easy on and off, and can be used for ventilation in periods of high exertion. 6 functional pockets keep your necessities dry and organized. Articulated patterning gives you a full range of movement, while elastic suspenders keep the Bib comfortably in place.
"The Pantanal Bibs is the first set of true hardcore waterfowl bibs. They completely beat the thick, heavyweight bibs I've traditionally used in the past. The usability, functionality, pocket location and the fact that they are ultralight all contribute to why I use the Pantanals every time waders aren't required. They're the final outer later to protect from the rain and cold, and, when layered properly, there is literally no weather they can't handle."
- Matt Brimmer, Waterfowl Athlete
Bought these bibs at the beginning of the season last year and wore them every time I went out and they never failed me! Couldn't be happier!! I would Highly recommend these to anybody looking for some new bibs! Thanks for the GREAT product SITKA!
Great Bibs! Lightweight and warm. Stops the wind better than anything I have ever owned.
There is not a better bib on the market for keeping you warm, dry, and simply put in the field longer. The Gore-Tex shell will keep the precipitation off of you while the micro check backer is the perfect addition on top of a core and insulation base layer. The Pantanal bibs are well constructed and comfortable. They are easy to slip on and off while layering up the adjustable straps make it quick to adjust the rise. With appropriate layering, you can wear these bibs all season long. I am a Gore gear tester.
These bibs are a game changer. In the past, I have always been wet and cold within a few hours of each hunt. The last few weeks, I have been able to sit comfortably all day in freezing and wet conditions. The Gore Tex lining kept all the snow, ice, and water from penetrating through to my insulating layers, allowing me to stay dry all day. These bibs also have enough insulating to keep you warm...but if you are in harsh conditions, I recommend wearing a base/insulating layer that Sitka has to offer (Sitkas Primaloft Kelvin Insulated Pant are my go to.) Aside from comfort, these bibs offer numerous well placed pockets and have a full length zipper on both legs that allow you to easily take them on or off...even with boots on. The reinforced knee and seat are a huge plus for added durability. Overall, these are one of the best products I own from Sitka and I will never leave into the field without them. Whether hunting in late October or early February, they are a must in keeping me comfortable. If you are looking for a bib to keep you warm, dry, and allow you to layer underneath during harsh weather...look no further.
I've worn these bibs for the last several months, starting in Saskatchewan in September, early deer season and fall fishing here on the Chesapeake. Bibs are my favorite piece of outerwear year in and year out, and I put mine through hell guiding waterfowl parties every day during duck season. So far, these are the best bibs I've ever owned. The fit is perfect, I love how easily they tuck into my knee boots. Perhaps the most impressive part about them is how waterproof they are. Literally 100%. I've been blasted by cold spray on the boat for 30 minutes and not got a drop through them. If they stand up to a full season of hunting every day this winter, these are going to be arguably the best, most versatile piece of outerwear I've ever bought. Highly recommended.
I wanted to wait for an entire season before writing this review. I live in the Northeast and started wearing the Pantanal Bibs in October when we started hunting early season, then transitioned into field hunting for ducks and geese as the season progressed. I also wore them seaduck hunting when I would be hunting from a duck boat in late December into January, then onwards into the Snow Goose extended season. I love the Pantanal Bibs so much that I have stopped using waders for all of my waterfowl hunts except for the ones where wading is absolutely required. If I know I am going to be in the boat and maybe ankle/calf high water then these are my goto gear, not the waders. Their bottoms are very easy to tuck into long knee boots. You can easily wear your base layers or insulation layers depending on the weather. There are plenty of pockets to keep your goodies in without even relying on the pockets of your parka. Easy to take on and off is a big plus, heck of a lot easier than say putting on neoprene waders. In the lying position, for example layout blind in the field while goose hunting, I have completely stopped wearing waders since the Pantanal Bibs are a lot more comfortable. Outer layer is waterproof and sheds rain and snow while keeping you dry. If you like being agile and comfortable during waterfowl hunting, you will love the Pantanal Bibs and how they work with your body. From a sizing standpoint please make sure you get them a bit loose so you can put your insulation layer on during Jan/Feb. Also, a word of caution stay away from briars, this thing is waterproof, not briar proof. So to summarize, these are my go to item from October thru February. Understand the Sitka layering system and you will spend a lot more time in the field enjoying the great outdoors in comfort while others have turned themselves in. Thank you Sitka for making an excellent product for waterfowlers.
I am a large athletic man about 270 and I had never spent top dollar on hunting gear until I bought these. They have with stood the test. I have hunted Canada geese and snow geese about 45-50 hunts. This means putting out decoys, picking them up, crossing barb wire fences, laying in corn fields, laying in the mud and they have held up. Completely waterproof, good stretch and just unstoppable. I use them with wader pants underneath and I'm comfortable. Never too hot never too cold. A must by for the serious water fowler.
By far the best bibs I have ever worn. I have had no issues with anything. Love the fit!
I have never been a person to wear bibs. I just didn't see a use for them. Sitka Pantanal were the first bibs I have ever bought and I will never wear anything but Sitka gear. I truly put these through a test hunting the flooded rice fields in Arkansas. I was constantly getting in and out of the water. Either getting birds or setting decoys. The waterproof system worked all week long and I never got wet even after long periods of standing in water. If you need to wear a layer underneath, there is plenty of room to do so. I highly recommend this and any other Sitka product!
Probably the best pant ever had. The fit, the design and the fabric, perfect. I didn't experience problems with the zippers.
Like every other Sitka piece I own, the comfort and fit of these bibs are awesome! However, the functionality of main zipper when zipped all the way down is a nuisance. When spending this amount of money you want to have no complaints but the great features of these bibs outweigh the zipper issue. I also like the versatility of the bibs and have found many other applications for use. These bibs work fantastic for field hunting and have great pocket locations to keep you organized when your constantly getting up and down.
I too have problems with zippers.Aiways catching material,with hard tug they come loose. Besides the zippers absolutly love this out fit. ps hope the material inside dosen't start coming apart
Front zipper plastic teeth came out when trying the bibs on for the first time. I epoxied the bottom of the zipper to make it a one way zipper in order to use. Even after my cave man fix, the zippers catches on the fabric when trying to close. I have the whole waterfowl line. The problem is consistent throughout. The zippers are sown too close to the apposing fabric. I love everything else about the fabric and design.
Everything about these bibs is great!! Except If you need to open the main zipper from the bottom up you are going to have some issues with snagging of the zipper on the binding. UP and down. Also the zipper closure at the bottom of the main zipper takes 2 hands to get to home. Considering that many bibs don't have this feature at all I guess it is not so bad BUT it's there and for this money ought to work right. Called the outfitter where purchased and ALL have the same operation. Talked to the owner and she said that hers do the same thing... Guess I just have to "get over it" and be VERY careful.
Great product with lots of capabilities. They have a very athletic fit. I have 36w and typically order XL everything and I went with Large and they fit great. The thigh cargo pockets are underrated. I tested bibs under a water fall and stayed completely dry including all zipper areas. This product could be used for multiple aplications. I am trying to figure out what not to use it for so I don't cross my other systems.

Hello Township:
My name is Kevin P. Murphy and I am running for mayor of Washington Township in a special election on Tuesday, Nov. 8.
For the last 20 years, my family has made Washington Township our home. In 1991, after I completed my bachelors degree at Ursinus College and masters degree in public administration at Rider University, Ginny and I chose to live here and raise our boys in this wonderful, vibrant, family oriented community, affectionately called "Township."
For the past 10 years, it has been my pleasure to serve Township as the athletic director at Washington Township High School. I lead one of the largest interscholastic athletic programs in the state of New Jersey with over 1,100 talented student athletes participating in 31 sports programs. Additionally, I supervise and evaluate an outstanding team of over 80 coaches, and I am responsible for one of the largest school sports budgets in South Jersey. I have also led the 19 member schools in the Olympic Conference serving as the president from 2007-2009. Furthermore, I am an active member of the Church of the Holy Family, the Knights of Columbus, and the Family Promise Homeless Ministry. My 25-year professional administrative career in college and high school educational environments, and my deep commitment to public service has prepared me to lead this community as its mayor.
Unfortunately, over the last decade I have seen the worst come out of the local political arena. With the doubling of property taxes, reductions in services, and a terrible business friendly environment, the township has lost its way and become stagnant.
I can offer residents Real Leadership, Real Experience and Real Solutions to bring out the B.E.S.T. (Business, Efficiency, Services and Taxes) that Washington Township has to offer, and redirect the township onto a course of public service instead of self-service.Successful teams require leadership, passion, discipline, shared sacrifice, commitment, and the ability to plan with a purpose. Team Murphy will be defined by these principles, starting with my decision to forgo the mayor's salary to demonstrate that shared sacrifice begins at the top.
On Nov. 8 the residents of Washington Township will be asked to elect a new mayor, and I am asking for your vote. A vote for Kevin Murphy is a vote for the candidate with a defined plan to develop and sustain a new Business-friendly environment, demand and value Efficiency, analyze and improve resident Services, and bring in new revenue to reduce the property tax burden.
Together with Pride,

2009 E-Lacrosse Feature: Rooting against the status quoOK, so today's lesson is about the "Inverse Law of Lacrosse Growth" -- the more people who attend the national championship, the slower the game grows. That's an observation made over thirty years. On a year when a team like Delaware or anyone other than Virginia, Hopkins, Princeton and Syracuse makes it to the final four, the attendance is said to be lower, yet we know for a fact it excites lacrosse people everywhere and broadens the game's possibilities. Seeing the same old teams win year after year is just about as boring as Oxford and Cambridge battling at crew. To the crew purist, that big matchup is heaven on water, but nobody is drawn to crew by that 100+ year-old rivalry. A few years back, an American team went over and beat either Oxford or Cambridge and it made The Washington Post, The New York Times and most evening news broadcasts. It's the same in lax, except the Times will write some obligatory lacrosse paragraph either way. The World Cup suffered from the same affliction until the game of soccer grew to include just the possibility of new champions from time to time. The game has grown many-fold since. Entire nations play soccer today that did not know the game only decades ago.
While the lacrosse press and the NCAA seem to go gaga every time we add a few hundred to our championship weekend attendance total, the game actually appears more elitist, insulated and small at our biggest event. How crazy must it seem to the lacrosse novice that 40,000 pack a stadium to watch Princeton play Hopkins or Virginia play Syracuse in some sport they just heard of? I have interviewed quite a few ticket scalpers in Baltimore and Philly who had no idea which teams were playing in the games inside and when I told them, in almost every case, they were not impressed. It must be even stranger to them than it is for me. I live in the lacrosse community on a daily basis and it is still boucoup bizarre to me every year.
It all starts with the myopic decisions made by our very best high school players to value a guaranteed national lacrosse championship over the challenge of earning one, because lets face it, some teams remaining in the field of eight will have to earn it on the field more than others. The traditional winners all have easier roads than the other four (and Duke is in this group, replacing Princeton in the eyes of lacrosse elite, believe me). Again, it started when 70 percent of the top recruits went to just four or five schools this past fall and every fall before that. It's sad really, to think that if a player the caliber of a Steele Stanwick (Loyola) had chosen Notre Dame, Ohio State, Albany, UMBC, Hofstra, Colgate, or so many others, the game might actually change (though we're not putting that burden on the players). As it stands, the young man will comfortably walk into a championship or three that have relatively no significance, like the last few championships, unless you are alumni or a fan of that school.
Hopkins' and Virginia's victories after the long, long stranglehold by Syracuse and Princeton have been worthless to the game. The Michigan and BYU college club championships have affected growth so much more. The indoor team in Portland is far more valuable to lacrosse. Almost any high school championship is more inspiring. Add that the game is now largely owned by corporate entities ESPN and Inside Lacrosse and it has become the most elitist and facetious event of the sporting year.
There are three ways this tournament can go. The first is toward the future - the end of the tunnel, so to speak - a break from this claustrophobic incest fest. The second is status quo - same old crapola. And then a mix of the two is possible but still less likely than the escape from mediocrity we, most of us, crave.
The first scenario would feature next-round winners and final four participants Navy, Ohio State, Maryland and Notre Dame. It doesn't matter who wins. They are all modern-era virgins. A matchup of Ohio State and Notre Dame in the final would be historic and really move the game for the first time since UNC won it when I was a boy. We had hope back then. It would be nice to get it back. The sport reeks of stagnation.
The second and likely scenario has Hopkins, Virginia, Duke and Syracuse in the greatest snooze and privilege-fest since, well, last year. Foxboro would be the only attraction in that scenario. Look kids, they have different cloud patterns up here ...
Now, granted, the bigger crowd will show if Syracuse is in and if the Hop and Virginia get back to the show. Most people either love or hate Duke in every sport so the Blue Devils will draw too. But again, that's the WORST-case scenario. What is most unfortunate is that a team like Notre Dame, Ohio State, Maryland or Navy probably will get to the semi or the final and keep it close but that's when this year's 12th blue-chip recruit from the Hopper, 'Cuse or Wahoos gets some garbage goal on a rare substitution to win and we can all say, "The Hop was just too strong" or "Those Cavs were too loaded -- maybe next year we'll get someone new."
Isn't that fun? I so look forward to seeing all the exact same people at the celebration tailgate parties acting like they couldn't lose and rightfully so. They'll be already bragging about next year's class, and rightfully so. So instead of picking games based on merit for you today, I simply wish you, the game and Notre Dame, Navy, Maryland and Ohio State my very best for the next two weeks. It's nothing against the kids at Hopkins, Virginia, Duke and Syracuse. Oh, who am I kidding? Those kids took the easy road while others took a chance, put themselves out there and pioneered the game. The latter deserve, at the very least, my best wishes and yours too.

In this exciting adventure/mystery film based on the original "Tintin" comics, Tintin, his dog Snowy and Captain Haddock embark on a quest to find the secret location of a lost treasure before the villainous Rackham and his men get to it.
It's usually difficult to adapt cartoons into film; it often turns out looking not so great, as seen in movies like "Speed Racer," "Garfield: The Movie" and "The Last Airbender." However, "Tintin" pulls off the transition of comic to motion picture very well with the use of computer graphics animation.
The design of the human characters has a very good blend of realistic human features and cartoon features. The similarity to the original cartoon designs would not have been successful without the use of computer animation. The rest of the animation, like the background, is very nicely designed and animated. The experience is heightened if seen in 3-D.
The story is good with a number of original and unique elements as well as a few that moviegoers have seen a number of times. Going on an adventure to find clues leading to a lost treasure is not a new plot device ("National Treasure," "The DaVinci Code"), but the unique thing about "Tintin," though, is its style and story execution.
The story combines both cartoon elements, such as the slapstick humor and improbable situations, and more mature elements, such as the frequent use of alcohol, life-or-death situations and character motives. It's like watching a Disney movie combined with a modern action movie. This is often seen in the well-written action sequences. In fact, the movie itself almost feels like an "Indiana Jones" sequel, with a cartoon twist. This style keeps both kids and adults interested throughout the movie.
There isn't much wrong with the movie, but it might have been a bit more interesting if there was more character development in Tintin and if he wasn't presented as almost perfect, which made the movie somewhat boring at times. The ending might have been a bit better if it had a little more closure, but maybe it was just like that to make way for its sequel coming sometime in 2014 or 2015. Otherwise, "Tintin" is a fantastic movie. There is plenty of room for improvement in some areas, but nonetheless, it is well worth seeing and definitely lives up to its hype.

No charges for hit-and-run accidentUPDATED 8:31 AM MDT Aug 28, 2014
We have learned the driver accused of a hit and run accident that critically injured a little boy will not be charged with a crime.Video Transcript
WE'VE LEARNED THE DRIVER ACCUSED OF A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT THAT CRITICALLY INJURED A LITTLE BOY - WILL NOT BE CHARGED WITH A CRIME. ACCORDING TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE - THERE WASN'T ENOUGH "EVIDENCE". KOAT ACTION 7 NEWS REPORTER LAURA THOREN BROKE THIS STORY. NOW SHE'S ASKING INVESTIGATORS WHY THERE WON'T BE CHARGES. DOUG AND SHELLY - THIS IS 25 PAGES WORTH OF EVIDENCE! INCLUDING SEVERAL WITNESS ACCOUNTS THAT SAY A DRIVER IN A HUMMER RAN OVER THIS LITTLE BOY, BRIEFLY GOT OUT OF THE S-U-V, AND GOT THEN BACK IN AND DROVE OFF. SO I WANTED TO KNOW--WHY ISN'T THAT ENOUGH FOR THE MAN TO BE CHARGED? THE BANKS OF THE RIO GRANDE IN BELEN ARE A PLAYGROUND FOR DRIVERS. SOUND OF TRUCK LAST YEAR, 4-YEAR-OLD ADRIAN FRANCO WAS BUILDING SANDCASTLES WHEN POLICE SAY A HUMMER RAN HIM OVER. SEVERAL WITNESSES, INCLUDING HIS MOTHER, CALLED IT A HIT AND RUN. THEY TOLD POLICE THE DRIVER "drove off in a hurry" "the vehicle sped out of the area and was ramping over bumps." FRANCO'S PELVIS WAS SHATTERED, AND HIS LEG BROKEN. THE DRIVER WAS NEVER ARRESTED. SO HIS MOM, ANTOINETTE, CALLED ACTION 7 NEWS. Nothing is getting done! 4 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT, DISTRICT ATTORNEY LEMUEL MARTINEZ STILL HADN'T DECIDED IF HE'D PROSECUTE. NATS OF TV SOUND He told me his office just received the police report on the accident...and that now they'll be looking over all the evidence before issuing any charges. 10 MONTHS LATER, SAME STORY. Laura: what's taking so long? Martinez: There's been delays. NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE THE DRIVER MAY NEVER FACE CHARGES. A GRAND JURY DECIDED THERE WASN'T ENOUGH EVIDENCE--AND WHEN I WENT TO THE VALENCIA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE TODAY, I WAS TOLD THE DETECTIVE ON THE CASE AGREED. SOT The detective didn't think there was enough to charge him at that time I POINTED OUT THAT MULTIPLE WITNESSES ALL SAY THEY WATCHED THE DRIVER SPEED AWAY. AND THE ONLY PERSON WHO TOLD POLICE A DIFFERENT STORY, WAS THE DRIVER HIMSELF. Doesn't it seem like something is amiss here? Um, there could be a lot of explanations//and that's why there needs to be an investigation, needs to be looked into. DISTRICT ATTORNEY LEMUEL MARTINEZ DIDN'T RETURN MY CALLS TODAY. THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAYS IT WILL GO TO THE D-A'S OFFICE AND FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE GRAND JURY. I'LL KEEP PRESSING MARTINEZ FOR THOSE SAME ANSWERS. BACK TO YOU.

Wheatgrass For Weight Loss
A Shot of Wheatgrass A Day Keeps the Pounds Away
While many people turn up their noses at the mere thought of a shot of wheatgrass, fitness enthusiasts everywhere are embracing the healthy green liquid. We're one of the fans that will rave about wheatgrass until the day we die. But why should you drink wheatgrass? Is it that good for you? And is it worth the foul taste many believe it to have?
What is wheatgrass?
Wheatgrass looks a lot like the grass in your own backyard…but it has very special qualities. It's a nutritionally dense plant that is grown in temperate climates and is often "juiced" into a liquid. We encourage many of our Hitch Fit clients to take one shot of wheatgrass every day. Why? Find out below.
What does wheatgrass taste like (for real)?
We'll admit it…the first couple shots of wheatgrass is absolutely disgusting. But after awhile, you get used to the green liquid. In order to get wheatgrass to taste better, some people add ginger to their shot. Give this a try if you're a first-timer.
Wheatgrass and weight loss
We shouldn't actually thank wheatgrass as a weight loss promoter—we should thank chlorophyll instead. Chlorophyll, one of the main components of wheatgrass, has the ability to move toxic chemicals from our bloodstream. With that, chlorophyll increases overall energy, which helps us to work out longer and harder, thus, burning more calories in the process.
Plus, wheatgrass is low in calories and has no fat, sugar or cholesterol. Its properties has been known to help reduce cravings, since it fills in all of the nutrients that your body needs quickly (this results in lower caloric intake). According to SoyQuick, just one ounce of wheatgrass juice is equal to 2 pounds of produce nutritionally.
Wheatgrass and your health
Wheatgrass isn't just great for our waistlines. It has also been proven to help prevent colon cancer, leukemia, Thalassemia (a genetic form of anemia) and other serious illnesses. Wheatgrass has an unbelievable amount of antioxidants, and therefore, cleanses any body that it is put into. The consumption of wheatgrass allows patients to reduce toxic chemical accumulation in bone marrow and in the bloodstream.
There's nothin' like waking up in the morning and taking a solid shot of…(not espresso!)…wheatgrass! Although your tastebuds may hate you for a few minutes, your waistline and body will surely thank you.

The Legal Education of a Patriot: Josiah Quincy Jr.'s Law Commonplace (1763)
Daniel Coquillette
Boston College - Law School; Harvard Law School
Arizona State Law Journal, Summer 2007
Boston College Law School Research Paper No. 114
This article is based on the exciting discovery of a never before printed Law Commonplace, written by the 18th-century lawyer and patriot, Josiah Quincy, Junior. Quincy was co-counsel with Adams in the famous Boston Massacre Trial, a leader of Committee on Correspondence and the Sons of Liberty, and author of the first American law reports. His Law Commonplace provides an exceptional window into the political, racial and gender controversies of the evolving American legal system, and profoundly challenges our conventional views on the origin of American legal education. In certain areas, particularly jury trial, it also has present constitutional significance, as compelling evidence of the state of the law referenced by the Seventh Amendment.

Greta Christina has just made a post talking about her thoughts on whether to identify as bisexual or pansexual or something else, and one commenter linked to a post by Julia Serano that defends the word bisexual as not reinforcing the gender binary. I ended up writing a pretty long response, and thought I would repost it here in case other people were curious or wanted to share thoughts on the issue:
That post is an interesting read, and a lot of the history and it is stuff I didn't know, but I think her defense of the term bisexual as not reinforcing a binary is incredibly weak. In terms of a discussion of different possible interpretations of the language itself, this seems to be her key point:
"Here is another potential interpretation of the word bisexual: The prefix "bi" can mean "two," but it can also mean "twice" (e.g., as in bimonthly). So while monosexual people limit their potential partners to members of only one sex, bisexual/BMNOPPQ folks challenge the hetero/homo binary by not limiting our attraction in this way, and are thereby open to roughly twice as many potential partners. My main point here is that the prefix "bi" has more than one meaning, and can have more than one referent. So claiming that people who use the term bisexual must be touting a rigid binary view of gender, or denying the existence of gender variant people, is as presumptuous as assuming that people who use the term "bicoastal" must be claiming that a continent can only ever have two coasts, or that they are somehow denying the existence of all interior, landlocked regions of that continent."
And okay, fair enough, it is entirely possible to interpret the prefix as meaning "two" and not "both", but if that's the interpretation, then, first, it should make just as much sense for someone to identify as bisexual because they are attracted to both male and neutrois individuals, for example, and I have never in my entire life seen anyone of any identification use it for that. She, herself, in the very beginning of the essay describes her own sexuality in terms that make it clear that interpretation would be just as apparently inaccurate interpreted to mean "two" as interpreted to mean "both".
"Since some people paint bisexual-identified folks out to be "binarist" in our partner preferences, I will mention for the record that I date and am sexual with folks who are female and male, trans and cis, and non-binary- and binary-identified."
I do agree with her that bisexual isn't the only term that reinforces the gender binary, and that we ought to pay attention to the others as well, but I don't think that means that it's reasonable to ignore the implications of the word bisexual until we've dealt with the others. The word bisexual is a perfectly reasonable word for people to use if they are actually attracted to two different genders, but the problem is that that isn't what anyone, including the author, uses it to mean. Bisexual is never used to describe someone who is attracted to two and only two genders unless those two genders are female and male. There are other "discrete" gender categories (to the extent that any gender category is actually discrete, anyway) that are taken to never apply under the bracket of genders that the word bisexual could imply attraction to, so either it is a word that implies attraction to two genders and oh by the way we all know that those two genders are THE two genders of male and female because we never use it to imply attraction to any other pair of genders, or it is used, as it is being used in the author's case, to identify as attracted to male, female, and other genders as well, but with a word that implies attraction to only two genders, and since we all know which two genders are implied by that, because we are all comfortable automatically assuming that bisexual means AT LEAST attracted to men and to women, I don't think there's anyway to read it as not erasing the other genders that enter the equation.
She does list some other possible interpretations of the word as well, but the problem is that while those other interpretations are hypothetically reasonable, the fact is that that's not what she means by them, and as far as I know that's not what anyone who has ever identified as bisexual means by them. As long as it is a completely safe to assume that anyone who identifies as bisexual is definitely attracted to men and definitely attracted to women, we all know what is referred to by the "bi" prefix, and we all know that it is going to be used frequently to describe people who are attracted to men and women and no other genders and to people who are attracted to men and women and also other genders. As long as that is the case, I don't think there's any getting around the fact that using the word bisexual as an identifier that specifies attraction to both men and women, and does not differentiate between whether someone is attracted to other genders or not implies that the only attractions that are important to specify are those to men or women.

Euro-Area Exports Fell Second Straight Month in April
Euro-area exports declined for a second month in April, adding to signs of continued weakness in the 17-nation economy in the second quarter.
Exports from the euro-area fell a seasonally adjusted 1.3 percent from March, when they dropped 1 percent, the European Union's statistics office in Luxembourg said today. Imports decreased 3 percent. Employment decreased 0.2 percent in the first quarter from the previous three months, when it fell 0.3 percent, a separate report showed.
Europe's economy may contract in the second quarter after it stagnated in the first three months of the year and at least eight nations slipped into a recession, a Bloomberg survey shows. With the fiscal crisis worsening and euro-area economic confidence at the lowest in 2 1/2 years, companies have relied on faster-growing markets to bolster sales. Remy Cointreau SA, France's second-largest distiller, reported a gain in full-year profit on June 12 on Asian demand.
"We expect the euro-region economy to shrink in the second and third quarters, putting it back into a technical recession," said Jens Kramer, an economist at NordLB in Hanover, Germany. "There are enormous divergences among the countries; Germany and France are still relatively robust. The more serious the fiscal crisis weighs on nations, the larger the contagion effects to the overall economy."
Euro Drop
The euro has depreciated about 3.4 percent against the dollar during the past two months as the euro zone's worsening fiscal crisis increased investors' concerns about a breakup. It traded at $1.2631 at 11:08 a.m. in Frankfurt.
The euro area's trade surplus widened to 6.2 billion euros ($7.8 billion) from 3.7 billion euros in the previous month, today's report showed. Employment dropped 0.5 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier.
While Germany's expansion helped soften an economic slump in the first quarter, indicators have since weakened. German business confidence dropped more than economists had forecast in May, while euro-area services and manufacturing output contracted at the fastest pace in almost three years. Unemployment held at a record high in April.
Prada SpA, the Italian maker of $2,950 perforated patent-leather handbags, said on June 7 that there are "rising risks deriving from the uncertain international economic environment." Remy Cointreau said earlier this week that Asian demand is helping offset tougher conditions in Europe, which is suffering from "an uncertain economic" environment.
ECB Measures
Exports to the U.S. rose a non-seasonally adjusted 12 percent in the first three months from a year earlier, while shipments to the U.K., the euro area's largest market, increased 6 percent, today's report showed. Exports to China and Russia surged 9 percent and 19 percent, respectively, and Japan shipments climbed 10.7 percent. Detailed trade data are published with a one-month lag.
The European Central Bank's June forecasts show that the euro-region economy may shrink 0.1 percent this year before expanding 1 percent in 2013. Exports may rise about 2.6 percent this year and 4.4 percent in 2013, it said, down from a March forecast of 3.2 percent and 5.5 percent, respectively.
ECB President Mario Draghi said on June 6 that the central bank stands "ready to act" should the debt crisis damp the euro-area economy further and that "a few" council members had pushed for a rate cut at the policy meeting.
Jens Sondergaard, senior European economist at Nomura International Plc in London, said on June 13 that the ECB should lower borrowing costs by 50 basis points and "launch outright quantitative easing" to fight the turmoil if needed. Markets "are behaving as if we are heading toward a breakup and this is very, very worrying," he said.
"I could imagine that the ECB will have to open the floodgates a little bit further," NordLB's Kramer said. "But I don't see any QE."

James Dobson and his guest Rebecca Hagelin today on Family Talk warned that the culture is devolving into disarray as homosexuality gains acceptance in society. Hagelin argued that progressives are trying to "silence" Christians in order to "have full control over what's taught and what's said," and went on to blame the Penn State child abuse scandal on greater approval of homosexuality. Dobson then quoted Romans 1 outside of its cultural and historical context to argue that American society is now modeling pagan Rome: Hagelin: The Left, and lets call them... MORE >

Kyle noted earlier today that Dobson argued that Occupy Wall Street is "Marxist in tone and implementation," and he said on today's broadcast that the economic justice movement shared the "chaos" and "godless" features of protests from the 1960s.

I went for my first motorcycle sidecar ride tonight. First dad took me out by myself. Then Finnegan and I rode together. We went to a nearby neighborhood, where dad knew some people. Everyone was outside waiting for it to get dark enough to light some fireworks. So when we drove up, everyone was really excited to see us. Finnegan did his usual wiggle butt and face licking routine. I barked at everybody - BOLBOL!!! Dad says I'm a really good rider so I'll get to go again! Woo hoo, happy 4th of July everyone.

In honor of Secret Pal Day on Jan 11, 2009, Georgie started a game in Schnauzers Rule. For the Week of Jan 11-17 each pup that signed up surprised their secret pal with all sorts of virtual gifts, links, pictures, etc. Georgie, Finnegan and I didn't get to play because it didn't seem fair to know everyone's secret pal ahead of time. But SOMEONE was sending me gifts every day as an unofficial secret pal. On the last day there was a hint that said "Root for the Ravens". I looked up that the Ravens were from Baltimore so it was a good hint. Unfortunately, I didn't discover who it was. It was so fun to get the presents and wonder who was this special pup. But today, I found out it was OSCAR. How cool is he for doing that!!! THANK YOU Oscar for being my unofficial secret pal but my lifetime friend.

Mom has signed up Finnegan and me for some training. We met our new trainer this week, and I really like him. Mom says I have had a lot of anxiety. I'm anxious around people and don't trust them a lot. I love my mom & dad, but it takes a long time to warm up to other people, sometimes never! I bark a lot - at everything - sounds like doorbells, people talking or walking by on the street, things that move, things I think may move, new things, on and on. And I'm the boss of Finnegan. When he comes in the door I bark in his face. When I come in the door, I bark in his face. When we go outside I chase him and bark, bark, bark. When mom & dad come in the house I bark, bark, bark, bark (you get the idea) and get over excited! So after meeting our new trainer, after being evaluated and being on leash for a while, I really liked him. I jumped up on his lap and sniffed him & all his stuff and settled in. Mom was amazed to see me take to a new person so quickly.

Hello, handsome!" Bristol Palin grins as she greets her 2-month-old son Tripp, who has just come in from the brisk outdoors with grandma Sarah Palin. Handing the blue bundle to his mom, the Alaska governor says, "This little baby is very lucky to have her as a mama. He's going to be just fine."
In her first TV interview since the December birth of Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston (dad is Bristol's high school sweetheart Levi Johnston) Bristol displayed a similar confidence in her parenting ability. Though she told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren that being a mom is "a load of work," the high school senior also said, "It's so rewarding."
But she made clear that this surprising appearance (Bristol has rarely been seen since September's Republican convention) was not to celebrate early motherhood but to help prevent it. "I'm not the first person that it's happened to, and I'm not going to be the last," she acknowledged. But, she noted, "it's not, like, a situation that you want to strive for." Later she added, "Kids should just wait. I don't know; it's not glamorous at all."
Bristol said that breaking the news to her parents was "harder than labor." After school ended for the year, she gathered Levi, a friend, and her parents on the couch. "I couldn't even say it," she recalled ... "Finally my best friend just, like, blurted it out." Sarah Palin felt "absolute shock," she told Van Susteren. Bristol also cleared up rumors that her mother insisted she give birth: "Doesn't matter what my mom's views are on it. It was my decision."
Now that he's here, taking care of Tripp is a family affair. As Bristol continues to study for her diploma, everyone pitches in, from her maternal grandmother, Sally Heath, to sister Piper, 7 ("She's grabbing diapers and making bottles," said Bristol). Fiancé Levi Johnston, an electrical apprentice, is "a really hands-on dad," said Bristol. "He's just in love with him as much as I am." If she would change anything, she said it would be that she could have gotten an education and started a career first. Even so, Tripp, she said, "brings so much joy. I don't regret it at all."

I used to overdose on canned tuna and white rice back in the day, honestly I LOVED that meal it was so simple since there's always white rice at my house and canned tuna was never too far off.
Starting the PB I stopped eating canned tuna in an effort to not eat anything packaged but I've come back to it. Good (won't say great) source of protein, easy and to me the cat-food-ish tuna tastes better than albacore which I can't stand. I also get canned salmon and you can find both wild-caught if you want to pay a bit more.
