An attorney for a Wichita man sentenced to die for a quadruple homicide in December 2000 told the Kansas Supreme Court that Reginald Carr didn't receive a fair trial because he was denied the right to testify and was tried with his brother.
Debra Wilson, attorney for Reginald Carr, told the justices Tuesday that her client was effectively fighting the state and his brother Jonathan in proving his innocence.
The brothers were convicted in the shooting deaths of three men and a woman on Dec. 15, 2000, as the victims knelt on a field.
Prosecutors said the four friends and a woman who survived had been abducted from a home by the Carrs, who forced them to engage in sex with each other and withdraw money from ATMs.

69 Camaro DZ 302 Project
This project brings a whole new meaning to NOS and factory correct. Our client had purchased this very Rare DZ302 Cross ram car and although it may have been great for just about anyone with a passion for Vintage muscle, having a set of badges and a hood scoop was not going to cut it for this Camaro purest. That's where E-Muscle came in:
In less than a month the car was stripped back to nothing but a rolling chassis and body shell to begin what will be deemed as a 100% factory correct/NOS built Z. When complete she will have all the appropriate aftermarket bolt-ons that one could get from GM over the counter back in the mid to late 60's such as Transistorized ignition, Headers, Cross ram carbs and alike.
Other "Must have" options include Jl8 Disc brakes, M22 4 speed, RS wiper squirters, Original style "donut" spare tire & Enduro bumper jack along with full Rosewood Wheel and trim package.
It is important to note that every item purchased or rebuilt had to have the correct date codes or were to be NOS replacements right down to the Brake Booster, distributor cap and fresh tinted glass.
The engine will be gone through and when completed will be sick enough to run on racing fuel only with the Big Mutha Thumpr cam to keep that original DZ sound! Our client is already out buying gas cans!

text: Auckland - The nervousness of New Zealanders ahead of their Rugby World Cup semi-final against Australia was highlighted on Wednesday with a flurry of concern about the fitness of All Blacks captain Richie McCaw.A sighting, first at the team hotel and then at an All Blacks training run, of young Crusaders flank Matt Todd provoked immediate speculation that McCaw's ongoing foot injury may be more serious than feared. Todd regular understudies McCaw in Super Rugby.All Blacks management moved quickly to quell rumours, saying Todd had been called in along with a number of Blues Super Rugby players to provide opposed training for the New Zealand forwards.McCaw has taken a restricted role in training throughout the World Cup while battling a foot injury he has described as "niggly" but not serious.The loss of McCaw for Sunday's semi-final would be an enormous blow for New Zealanders, whose anxiety levels went into overdrive when star flyhalf Dan Carter was ruled out of the World Cup with a torn groin ligament. New Zealand hasn't won the World Cup since it hosted the inaugural tournament in 1987 and pessimistic All Blacks fans have already begun to fear that fate has turned against their team.The injury to Carter, followed last weekend by his replacement Colin Slade, has left 22-year-old Aaron Cruden - effectively the third choice in his position - as New Zealand's No 1 flyhalf for the semi-final.For an already worried nation, the sighting of Todd at training and a couple of cryptic comments by All Blacks backrowers Victor Vito and Jerome Kaino at a news conference on Wednesday were enough to cause heart palpitations.All Black manager Darren Shand quickly quashed suggestions Todd had been called to Auckland as a standby for McCaw, signalling the captain's injury may be worse than the team has let on.Shand told New Zealand media Todd also trained with the All Blacks when they were based in Christchurch in the week before their crunch pool match against France. He said Todd had come to Auckland "for some time out" and the All Blacks had invited him to train with them, as they were able to do under World Cup rules.The All Blacks coaches have said McCaw's injury would be carefully managed in training this week, as it had been in the build-up to last weekend's quarterfinal against Argentina.Vito would likely replace McCaw if the captain was unfit, and Vito's casual comment to a news conference on Wednesday might have been interpreted as a signal McCaw's injury is more serious than has been indicated."I think with Richie it's been the same thing for a little while now, just managing his foot (injury) and personally we're just trying to get our skipper back on the paddock," he said. "So be it that he can't play ... either Thommo (Adam Thomson) or I can fill in there."All Blacks blindside flank Jerome Kaino also, inadvertently, stirred speculation."It's not too bad with Richie not taking too much involvement in training," he said."We know each other, we know our game and if Richie sits out (the semi-final) we have guys like Victor and (Thomson) who can step in, and we know they'll go quite well."New Zealand will name their team to play Australia on Thursday.* Click HERE for the latest RWC odds on BET.CO.ZA

The Spy Who Gonged Me
A New Film Poses An Old Question: Was Game Show Guru Chuck Barris a CIA Spook?
With the recent opening of the film version of Confessions, believers and doubters alike will have a chance to further evaluate the many lives of Chuck Barris. Equal parts success story and spy thriller, the movie, which marks George Clooney's directorial debut, follows Barris (played by Sam Rockwell) as he rises from NBC tour guide to creator—with 1965's The Dating Game—of the reality television genre. Says his pal, veteran TV producer Dick Clark: "A lot of the stuff on the air these days has its roots in Chuck's shows."
Like a plotting Survivor player, Barris says he used his game shows as a cover for his CIA work. Although the agency has never commented on Barris's claims—he told Connie Chung in the '80s that he made it all up, then later said that was a lie—the movie shows him chaperoning Dating Game winners in Eastern Europe while offing bad guys. "We really didn't talk about his CIA work," says Rockwell, who spent months hanging out in Manhattan with Barris and his third wife, Mary, 43, to prepare for the role. "He told me he didn't kill any contestants."
Barris, however, did strain good taste, at least in the eyes of critics offended by the sexual innuendo of The Newlywed Game. (Sample question: "Where's the strangest place you've ever made whoopee?") He was also reviled for The Gong Show—which featured talentless acts that were "gonged" off the stage by a panel of judges. "The critics pounded him," says Clark. The show was canceled, and Barris says he was forever after seen as "a dinosaur out of the loop."
That was nothing compared to the lumps he took in his personal life. The older of two children raised in Philadelphia by Nathaniel, a dentist, and Edith, a homemaker, Barris graduated from Philadelphia's Drexel University and after a stint in NBC's management trainee program got his big break when ABC hired him to create game shows. With The Dating Game, he had his first hit.
Amid the success Barris's marriage to Lyn Levy ended in 1976, and Della, their only child, then 13, was living with him. "Beverly Hills," Barris says, "was not a great place to raise a kid who had problems and some bucks in her pocket." Della spiraled into drug addiction, and after years of trying to get her into counseling, Barris (whose second marriage, to Robin Altman, had also failed) tried "the tough love thing," he says. "I gave her $1 million in a trust fund and told her to go away and not come back until she was clean." In 1998 they reconciled, but later that year Della died of an overdose. "He feels a lot of guilt," Mary says. "He feels he should have done more for her."
Barris had a near-death experience of his own. In 2000 cancer cost him part of one lung; six days after surgery he contracted an infection and spent a month in intensive care. "It was a real leveler," he says. "You're just hoping for your health."
Hopes for a return to TV, however, are not on his wish list. "I've had my day," says Barris, who sold Chuck Barris Productions for a reported $100 million in the early 1980s. Since then he has kept busy writing (a sequel to Confessions, published in 1982 and rereleased last year, is in the works) and making some public appearances.
This "simple, quiet" routine, as he calls it, is a far cry from the life he used to lead—or claims he used to lead—but Barris prefers it that way. "As far as I'm concerned," he says, "it's perfect."

A Clue Emerges to Romney's Gift-Tax Mystery
By Mark Maremont
One of the mysteries surrounding Mitt Romney's taxes is how the former private-equity executive managed to get $100 million into a family trust for his children without incurring federal gift taxes.
A potential clue may be found in a previously unreported 2008 presentation made by a partner at law firm Ropes & Gray LLP, which represents the GOP presidential nominee. It focuses on how private-equity executives could minimize gift and estate taxes by giving family members some of their "carried interest" rights, a major form of compensation that entitles private-equity executives to a slice of the firm's future investment profits.
This is complicated stuff, but bear with us even if you're not a tax geek. Much remains unclear about Mr. Romney's taxes given his limited disclosure and the complexity of his personal finances.
The attorney at Ropes & Gray wrote that in the 1990s and early 2000s estate-planning lawyers "commonly advised" that executives could claim a value of zero on these transfers of carried-interest rights for federal gift-tax purposes. He said the practice ended by 2005.
Gifts of carried-interest rights are common, but several estate-planning attorneys at major New York firms said they are puzzled by the claim that the rights ever could have been valued at zero, particularly at an established private-equity firm. They said long-standing rules require taxpayers to value all gifts at fair-market value, or what a willing buyer would pay a willing seller.
In response to a reporter's questions, a Romney adviser said the presentation by the Ropes & Gray lawyer was aimed at educating other attorneys about industry practices, not a description of Ropes & Gray's advice to clients. Based on the presentation, the adviser said, "you should not assume" that was the firm's advice to clients or that Mr. Romney's gift-tax returns ever valued carried-interest rights at zero.
The adviser declined to address how Mr. Romney actually did value such rights, or whether the rights were given to the trust. The adviser declined to answer other questions about the family trust.
Ropes & Gray long has been the main outside counsel for Mr. Romney's former private-equity firm, Bain Capital. The Boston law firm's chairman, R. Bradford Malt, is the trustee of the Romney family trust, and handles Mr. Romney's other finances through blind trusts.
The Romney family trust was created in 1995. A campaign official several months ago referred to it as worth "roughly $100 million."
In an email to The Wall Street Journal, the Romney campaign earlier this year said that the candidate had never paid gift taxes on transfers to the family trust, saying "the original contribution and all subsequent contributions have been under the limit on lifetime gifts."
Federal gift taxes are intended to ensure that people don't evade estate taxes by giving substantial sums to their heirs. At the time the Romney family trust was created, the lifetime limit on gifts was $600,000 and until recently was $1 million. The tax on gifts exceeding the maximum has ranged between 35% and 55% since the late 1990s.
Because Mr. Romney no longer owns the assets in the trust, the sums held in the trust aren't included in the campaign's estimate that Mr. Romney is worth between $190 million and $250 million. But Mr. Romney and his wife, Ann, include the trust's income on their tax returns and pay taxes on it.
Carried-interest rights, also known as profits interests, entitle private-equity executives such as Mr. Romney to a slice of any investing profits they produce for their investors. Although Mr. Romney ceased day-to-day management of Bain in 1999, as part of a retirement agreement he was given carried-interest rights in Bain funds formed before February 2009.
The Romney campaign has estimated that carried-interest income produced $12.9 million of the $42.5 million in total income reported by the Romneys in their 2010 and preliminary 2011 returns.
The most common time for private-equity executives to give away carried-interest rights is when a new fund is being formed. Because the nascent fund may never produce gains, attorneys say they can legitimately claim the rights have a low value for gift-tax purposes.
Jay Waxenberg, an estate-planning attorney at Proskauer Rose LLP in New York who advises private-equity executives, said valuations "tend to be very low," but he has never known anybody at an established firm claim a zero value.
"If you make a transfer, it's supposed to be at fair-market value," Mr. Waxenberg said. "That's been true forever," he said, or at least since the 1950s.
The Romney campaign won't discuss whether Mr. Romney transferred any of his carried-interest rights to the family trust. There are signs in Mr. Romney's tax returns that the trust might be reaping carried-interest income from Bain funds, including some formed prior to 2005.
In its 2010 tax return, the trust reported about $2.7 million in long-term gains from Bain entities with names such as "BC PTRS VIII" and "BC PTRS ASIA."
Former Bain employees said most of the income from entities with such names would likely be from carried-interest rights. They said Bain employees invested their own money in deals, but mostly through entities with names that started with BCIP. The family trust reported about $1.8 million in long-term gains from "BCIP III" and similar entities.
In his 2008 presentation, the law firm partner, Marc J. Bloostein, said the basis for believing that carried-interest rights could have a zero gift-tax value stemmed partly from a 1993 IRS ruling related to income tax treatment of the rights. The IRS said taxpayers could claim the rights had no immediate value when they were received, but would have to pay capital-gains tax on any income that later flowed from them.
Mr. Bloostein indicated that gift-tax valuation practices changed by 2005, saying that although there was once "reason to think" that a zero valuation could be claimed, "it has become clear" that fair-market value is the correct standard and "it is advisable to engage a professional appraiser."
Because appraisers typically apply a discount for risk factors and other items, Mr. Bloostein wrote, a carried-interest right expected to bring in $2 million of income could be valued for gift-tax purposes at $200,000. Mr. Bloostein didn't respond to a request for comment.
Scott A. Nammacher, a managing director at Empire Valuation Consultants in New York, said he frequently gets hired to value carried-interest rights. He said he has heard from some legal clients that they used to value the rights at zero, but around the mid-2000s these attorneys were "getting concerned" and asked his opinion.
"I said, if it has zero value, I'd be happy to buy some."
If Mr. Romney released more than the two years of tax returns he has disclosed, the matter may still not be cleared up. Gift tax returns are filed separately.

WASHINGTON – The road to confirmation of Thomas Perez as labor secretary got more dicey last week in the wake of a speech by the Republicans' leading Hispanic, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, against the Obama administration's emerging pattern of "intimidation."
In a floor speech about the scandals raining down on President Obama, Rubio said Senate confirmation of Perez "would be bad for the country at any time, but more so now. He has a history of using the government, and his position in the government, of intimidating people into doing what he wants them to do."
Prior to last week's disclosures, Perez, the assistant attorney general for civil rights who was raised in Amherst, would probably have squeaked through a Senate confirmation because of Republican fears of offending Hispanic voters. With Rubio's vocal opposition, the GOP may use Rubio's speech as ethnic inoculation to block a floor vote.
The front page of Brown University's latest alumni monthly magazine will not help Perez, class of '83. He is pictured grim and grizzled with the headline, "The Enforcer." Perez is a protégé of Attorney General Eric Holder, who symbolizes the administration's arbitrariness, its penchant for untrammeled growth of central power, secrecy and shameless breaches of the Constitution.
Instead of being the attorney general for all the people, Holder, like Nixon's John N. Mitchell, has become a swaggering ideological operative here and across the country, deciding which parts of the law will and will not be enforced by the regime. He is a crafter of political wedges and voting blocs.
Obama should never have nominated Holder in the first place, and the Senate should have denied him confirmation on ethical grounds. Holder played the key role in laundering President Bill Clinton's approval of a pardon for Marc Rich, a Democratic donor and fugitive from justice.
The regime's two-month sweep of the telephones of the Associated Press by the "Justice" Department is despicable. The AP's Capitol press gallery phone was among them. This means that conversations with members of the House and Senate, as well as their staffs, part of a supposedly separate branch of government, were intercepted and compromised. No confidential source, no congressional critic of the Obama regime, no whistle blower will feel safe again talking to the AP, the nation's prime gatherer of news.
With the Obama government now freely intercepting and storing any electronic communications it wishes – without a judge's warrant – you don't have a situation like a police state. You have a police state.
Holder should be out, like yesterday. He should be fired, or resign or be impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate. A new Rasmussen poll shows only 42 percent think Holder did wrong, another sad index of this country's constitutional deafness.
The crisis has its ironies. While Obama's people were spying on the AP and its sources, Pro Publica, a well-heeled do-gooder foundation linked to some of the most distinguished figures in legacy media, accepted and illegally disseminated tax information on conservative groups. The Internal Revenue Service eagerly provided this to its pals in Pro Publica in the run-up to the president's re-election.
The incestuous ties between the media powers on Pro Publica's board and the regime may help explain why the public's reaction to the atrocity against the AP has been so brief and muted. But IRS harassment didn't stop at conservative and traditionalist groups. It victimized individual volunteers and religious leaders whose beliefs might be out of synch with the president's statist template.
To survive, Obama needs to do much more than hastily shuffle another rank of true believers into jobs at the IRS and the offices running Obamacare.

Showtime (Sat., Aug. 29, 10 p.m. ET)
Herbie Hancock plays host—and a little jazz too—in a fresh and ambitious music and comedy show. Coast to Coast does a super job of finding new talent or old talent doing new things. K.D. Lang, a Canadian woman, sings punk country—a real kick. Manhattan Transfer adds a Brazilian beat to its close-harmony vocals. At the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, you hear great moments in music from the Neville Brothers, the Dixie Cups, Dr. John and a gospel choir. Robert Schimmel tells dirty jokes, but at least tells them well. Finally, Hancock jams with Joni Mitchell, David Sanborn, Bobby McFerrin and Wayne Shorter. The show is rough around lots of edges. When Hancock talks to the camera, he's a little unsure of himself; the church choir suffers from a bad sound system; sometimes the musicians talk too much. But those nits can be picked clean if Coast to Coast is made into a series—and it should be.

9 students treated for minor injuries in Crawford County bus accident
MEADVILLE -- Nine children were treated for minor injuries after their school bus partially went off a road Thursday morning in East Fallowfield Township, Crawford County, state police said.
The accident occurred at 7:06 a.m. on Kibbler Road, just north of Laird Road.
Police said 24 students ages 5 to 14 were on the school bus, which was northbound on Kibbler Road.
The children were students from Conneaut Lake Elementary School and Conneaut Lake Middle School, state police at Meadville said.
Police said a white pickup truck with double rear wheels was southbound on Kibbler Road when the school bus driver moved the bus to the right to allow the vehicle to pass.
Police said the right rear tires of the bus went off the east side of the road. The rear of the bus slid down an embankment and struck a fence post, while the front of the bus remained on the roadway, police said.
Six students were taken by ambulance to UPMC Greenville for treatment of minor injuries.
Three other students were taken to Meadville Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries, police said.
The bus driver, Melissa H. Castile, 45, of Greenville, was uninjured, authorities said.

Watch Phones
Like something from a James Bond film or Dick Tracy cartoon, watch phones are no longer a thing of fantasy, but are one of the most impressive gadgets of the noughties. The ultimate in portable media, simply attach your watch phone to your wrist and you're good to go, and since it never leaves your wrist you'll never leave your phone behind or accidentally lose it in a taxicab or in the office!
Yes, watch phones are a fantastic turn in mobile phoning. The variety of watch phones is impressive, with many stylish male, female and unisex designs. Generally these watch phones are 3G and measure on average around 60mm long, 40mm wide and 14mm thick, with a weight of around 90.75grms, meaning watch phones are so light and small you barely notice it's there. Many of the watch phones on the market have a full colour display and a good resolution for such a small screen.
Watch phones feature a full touch screen design with many different screens, with swiping action to interchange between them. When your phone is not in use, you can turn the screen to a clock/watch face of your design, so it features as a normal wristwatch. Watch phones also feature a camera, speaker, Bluetooth connectivity and messaging. As well as this the watch phone features a music player, allowing you to listen to your music easily on the go, a great addition for people with an active lifestyle.
Being capable of many functions such as making calls and messaging, you can either talk into watch phones or use the headset provided. This is a fantastic addition to driving, as it is a safer method than holding a handset, which unfortunately a lot of people still do. Voice commands are another impressive feature of watch phones, allowing you to simply say the work "message" to begin writing a text. Similarly, call can also be made in this very simple way. You can also surf the internet and download music and videos on the move, another amazing feature of watch phones that will please your every need.
Being an attractive and highly functional new gadget, watch phones are the perfect choice of gift for someone special in your life, or just a great gift to yourself to make your life considerably easier. Many people are turned to watch phones due to their "spy-tech" appeal, as they so closely resemble a stylish watch you wouldn't even consider that it could be a cellular telephone.
So when looking for a new mobile phone, then watch phones should definitely be considered, as their functionality, attractiveness and cool-factor will more than please your tastes. At the moment the impending release of the LG –GD910 is the buzz on the tech scene, and is the most impressive of the current watch phones on release. This watch phone will be released in 2010 on the Orange network, with further information to be given later in the year and will come in blue, pink and black.

Try adding some sauteed mushrooms to your potato skins–sounds weird, but is so delicious! Sautee them in a little olive oil and toss in some garlic.

A Charlie Brown Christmas
Charlie Brown can't seem to get into the spirit of Christmas. With people worried about gifts, decorations and the annual Christmas pageant, one little tree may be what Charlie Brown needs to find the true meaning of the holidays. Here are a few mistakes to look for while watching this animated classic with the family.
• Lucy turns the sign over on the doctor's stand. In a close-up view of the sign, it has "The Doctor" on the top line and "Is Real In" written underneath. In the next view of the sign, when Lucy is talking to Charlie Brown, "The Doctor Is" is written on three separate lines with "Real In" written to the right of it. In the side view, when Lucy asks Charlie Brown "What seems to be your trouble?", "The Doctor" is written on two separate lines and "Is In" is written on a third. A view of the sign after that shows it's back to its original position.
• Charlie Brown and Lucy are talking his problems over. A green and white can is on Lucy's table. Lucy suddenly flips back in her seat when Charlie Brown yells "That's it!" and the can is gone!
• Charlie Brown picks out the little tree. The first time it's shown, it has three branches. When Charlie Brown shows the tree to the other girls and boys there are more!
• Charlie Brown is wearing his yellow shirt and his red coat is on the floor right before Linus comes out and makes his speech. The right side shot of Linus during his speech shows Charlie Brown just offstage wearing his coat. A few moments later, Charlie Brown is holding his red coat and he's only wearing his yellow shirt.
• The other boys and girls decorate the little Christmas tree for Charlie Brown. When Charlie Brown sees it, there is a little boy in a yellow shirt on the last row next to the Christmas tree. The same boy has a blue shirt on when the children shout "Merry Christmas Charlie Brown" and start singing. (There was originally one boy wearing a blue shirt and now there are two!)
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" (1965) is based on the comic strip by Charles M. Schulz and features the voices of Peter Robbins, Bill Melendez and Christopher Shea. It runs 25 minutes and is rated G.

June 23-28 (Mon.-Sat.), 8:30 A.M. – 10:30 A.M.
We welcome papers (or work-in-progress reports) on topics related to Slavic women. The meeting is interdisciplinary; we encourage presentations from all fields: literature, fine arts, media, communications, sociology, psychology, history, political science, economics, and others. Translation projects are fine, too.
This year, we are asking presenters to assign readings to participants as good preparation for discussion. The reading could be a copy of the paper to be presented or secondary source material: an article, chapter, excerpted passages, website, film, or other material. Presenters should submit the reading material in advance (no later than June 1) as a web link, email attachment, or bibliographical citation.
If you wish to join us as a presenter, please submit a brief description of your topic and credentials. If you wish to join the discussion without presenting a paper, please notify us so that we may add your name to the mailing list.


text: Write a MIPS assembly program that checks to see if a string is a palindrome (palindrome wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindrome). The string can be stored in the static data area of your main, and is passed from main to 2 functions. The first function named string_length determines the string�s length. Then the string and the string length are passed to a function named palindrome, which returns a true or false indication of whether the string is a palindrome. The program should print out an indication of whether the stored string is a palindrome. Provide examples that show both cases. Allow your program to handle blanks and mixed case in the input, ignoring them, and still finding a palindrome. For example, �A daffodil slid off Ada� is an example of a palindrome if you ignore spaces and letter case. Verify it can run with MARS.

WARREN - Ed Shaker is in his second stint as baseball coach at Warren G. Harding. He led the Raiders from 1995 to 2000 and joined the team again in 2005.
But on Thursday at Volunteer Field, Shaker experienced something for the first time in 15 years.
A 20-3 loss featuring nine errors.
"We've never been beat this bad," Shaker said. "It was just the wrong game to have that many errors."
Boardman batted around twice - in the third and sixth innings - and scored 17 of its runs in those two frames.
"We have a chance to turn a double-play in the third," Shaker said. "A simple, two-hop play and its botched. The floodgates open and they pile on seven runs."
The Raiders didn't get a hit until Jordan Hernon's pinch-hit single in the fourth and tallied three total. Boardman pitcher Jake Baun wasn't overly dominant, striking out six and walking four. He strictly used a fastball until Harding got its first hit, then mixed in a curveball.
"We saw pitching like that all year," said Raiders center fielder Derrick Brogdon. "We just didn't come out and hit the ball."
The Spartans (11-13) committed four errors themselves. Alex Fitzgerald and Matt Jones had Harding's other two hits.
"It wasn't more of (Baun) fooling us," Harding's Jared Paige said. "Personally, I wasn't getting my foot down and my timing was off. I was thinking too much, I guess."
Paige pitched four innings of relief, struck out two and only allowed two earned runs, though he hit two batters.
Nico DiIanni, a Lake Erie College recruit, led off the game with a triple and was driven in on Scott Lendak's sacrifice fly to left field. The Raiders answered with a run in the bottom of the first when Brogdon scored on an error.
This is the third year in a row that Boardman has beat Harding in a Division I sectional semifinal.
"They're not a bad team by any means," Boardman coach Bob Beam said of the Raiders. "It was one of those days where we just got the bounces and they didn't make some plays. It is what it is. That could happen to any team."
Howland hosts the Spartans today at 4 p.m. in a sectional final. Harding finishes the season at 11-8.
"We feel we had higher expectations," Shaker said. "We thought we had a real good shot at winning the Lake Erie League. We faced a lot of adversity throughout the year."
There were kids "dropping off the team left and right," Zack Martin said. There were injuries "that were tough to deal with," Shaker added.
Fitzgerald, who pitched 2 innings, played in his first game in two weeks. Martin, the catcher, took a ball off the mask, throat and shin behind and at the plate.
"Zack's been a bulldog all year," Shaker said. "He said, 'I'm not coming out coach,' so even if we had to bring a stretcher on the field, he wasn't coming out."
"Not even if I had any broken bones," Martin added. "It was good pain. I'd do it all over again."
Brogdon, Martin and Paige are three of Harding's five seniors (Jones and Ryan Mathews are the other two), they all have plans of going to college and playing baseball.

ROARING SPRING - Central's Bradi Moore swept right, then sprinted down the sideline for a 71-yard touchdown on the first play of his team's game against Bald Eagle Area on Friday night.
Unfortunately, for Moore, it was all for naught as the TD was called back on a holding penalty.
The touchdown may not have counted on the scoreboard but it not only set a precedence of what was to come for the Scarlet Dragons, and it quickly showed the Eagles that they couldn't relax against the team from the Cove.

Central's Austin Cunningham leaps two Bald Eagle Area defenders.
Moore finished the game with four touchdowns, quarterback Austin Cunningham threw for three and the Central defense held BEA to just three first downs on the night in a 34-0 Mountain League victory at the Roaring Spring Athletic Field.
"That's pretty much what we see everyday [from Moore and Cunningham]," Central coach Dave Baker said. "Moore is pretty explosive. When he starts up and hits something he's pretty quick. [Austin] has real good judgment and he is faster than what you think because he can turn up and pick his field very, very well."
Moore and Cunningham hooked up from 31 yards out on the opening drive that was nine plays and nearly four minutes long.
"It's a long season. We've got five games left," Bald Eagle Area coach Jack Tobias said. "The season started off with great expectations and we still have those expectations."
With one last drive before the half, Central [4-1 overall and 3-1 in the league] took possession follow a Bald Eagle Area punt with 1:32 left. Cunningham was looking for Moore the entire drive as he completed consecutive passes of 14 and 22 yards before throwing an incompletion. On the drive's fourth play, they duo hooked up on a 23-yard scoring play with 57.6 ticks left that gave the Scarlet Dragons a 21-0 halftime lead.
"Our line, they're the backbone of our team," Cunningham said. "They got called out this week and they were proving a point this game."
It wasn't just Moore on the offensive for Central as Bald Eagle [4-1, 2-1] had no answer for Cunningham, who rushed for 99 yards on just nine carries in the first half. The signal caller also found fellow junior Adam Frederick on a 20-yard pass-and-catch touchdown at the 2:00 mark of the first quarter.
Central had two other prime opportunities to put points on the board in the half, but Cunningham got down to the BEA 1 and then fumbled it away in the end zone on one drive, then on the BEA 10, he threw a jump ball into the end zone to Moore which was intercepted by Dylan Womer.
The Eagles couldn't capitalized as their rushing attack amassed just 16 yards in opening half, and losing leading rusher Dion Barnard early in the contest didn't help. Quarterback Cole Long found Jonathon Romine three times for 50 yards.
"We were able to get them running sideways," Baker said of the key to stopping BEA's running attack. "They could not turn up and face us. Once they turned up on you, they were pretty good runners, but as long as you keep them running sideway, they had trouble."
"Getting to the corner was the big part. We couldn't get to the edge - it's what killed us," Tobias said. "Their [Central] backers did a great job filling it Their backside backer is what probably hurt us the most."
The third quarter consisted of three Bald Eagle punts, while Central punted once and turned the ball over on downs on their other chance. BEA punter Tony Riley was forced to punt nine times on the evening, while Moore kicked it away just twice.
"Coach did a great job game planning all week," Cunningham said. "We just tried to play physical up front and have everyone do their job."
Moore would score on back-to-back carries in the final stanza as he rushed in from 20-yards out at the 10:46 mark, then exploded for a 60-yard jolt to paydirt with the clock showing 8:35 to set the final.
"We pretty much, I guess you'd have to say, we dominated them," Baker said. "I thought our defensive line played well in that we didn't get pushed back. That allowed our linebackers [Todd Slick and Zac Emerick] to make tackles when nobody blocked them."
The Central defense limited the Eagles to just 127 yards of total offense, while the Dragons exploded when the had the ball for 538. In addition to throwing for 110 yards, Cunningham also ran for 152, while Moore led the way with 158 yards on the ground.

- So, first and foremost, I'm organizing a Minnesota/Wisconsin Blogger MeetUp. If you're from there area and would like to come, please let me know! I'd love to meet fellow bloggers and I think it could be a lot of fun!
- Second, I added our engagements pictures to our wedding bio. I don't know why I didn't do this forever and a day ago but I didn't. Anyway, check them out here.
- Third, if you haven't already and you're on Facebook, become a fan of After 'I Do'. You know you want to!
- Fourth, I finally switched to using my married email for Blogger. Which meant I had to re-add everyone I follow onto THIS dashboard. So if I'm following you twice, it's because I didn't delete my OLD dashboard so I could save all my pictures. So there.
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a writer. I think it's probably because I love reading so much. Nonetheless, since I was young I have loved writing. I wrote journals, all I which I still have. I wrote short stories. I used to LOVE writing ghost stories. I made up these ridiculous novels about girls and boys and it was pretty much to get out my angst about never being kissed.
And then I wrote my first novel. That, too, was about a boy and a girl. It was a horrible novel from what I can remember. But I let people read it. And then I wrote another novel. And a third. I did this all while in high school.
I stopped writing when my life started getting important. I had my first boyfriend and my first kiss. I had my first heartbreak. I went away to college and had my first bad roommate. I had friend drama and boy drama. Life was so exciting that I didn't feel the NEED to write anymore.
When I found out about NaNoWriMo in 2008, I felt this WANT to write again. So I did. I wrote and wrote and wrote and I won NaNoWriMo. But then I stopped. Until NaNoWriMo 2009. And I won AGAIN.
Where is this story going? I want to write. Hell, what I would LOVE is to write and be PUBLISHED somewhere. How do you do that? I really have no idea. I'm writing another novel again, though. And maybe one day I'll decide that something I write is good enough to show someone. Or maybe I'll get to the point where I'll stop caring what other people think and try anyway. Who knows?
More soon.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - The Israeli Air Force (IAF) will conduct joint tests next month with the U.S. Air Force to determine the source of high formaldehyde levels in the cockpits of F-161 fighter jets.
Lockheed Martin, the F-161's manufacturer, and Pratt & Whitney, who provided some of the cockpit's equipment, will take part in the testing.
In March, IAF Major General Elazar Shkedy canceled training flights on the F-161 after high levels of carcinogenic formaldehyde were discovered in the jets' cockpits.
Three F-161s remain grounded, while filters installed in 23 others in the fleet allowed them to return to service.
Tests to determine the source of the formaldehyde will be held in July.

The man we call Woods is looking a bit scary. He's unshaven, there's a green bandanna tied around his thick black hair, and there's a disturbed glint in his eye. He clutches his gun and glares behind him, to where a heavily-armed helicopter rests in the middle of a clearing. "You see that Hind?" he hisses. "We're gonna take it!"
I have no idea exactly why we're here, deep in the jungles of Laos. This is Black Ops, after all, and even at an event as huge as E3, Treyarch is keeping tight-lipped. But I do know this: I'm glad that Woods is on our side.
As the soundtrack swells with a dream-like ambient drone, peppered with the whoops and calls of tropical wildlife, our demonstrator strafes his way around the treeline. Woods launches his attack, we swoop in to flank the chopper's guards. The crew go down easily, and within seconds we're climbing into the rear seat of the stolen Mi24 Hind. "Okay, what's our loadout?" growls Woods. "UV-32 Rockets, 12mm Nose Cannon... these bastards were ready for World War III!"
I'm getting a distinct sense of deja-vu here, and it's not due to some LSD-fuelled flashback to my time in Vietnam. This is Payback – the mission that Treyarch showed as its contribution to Microsoft's E3 conference. In other words, it's something we've seen before, but hey, we're going to cover it anyway. Regardless of whether you're stoked or numbed by the prospect of another CoD, there's no doubt that Black Ops will be one of the biggest releases of 2010. Besides, Payback is supposed to be a demonstration of something new for Activision's series – fully controllable air combat – so it's certainly worth a second gander.
As before, the meat of the action kicks off with a bit of predatory chatter between Woods and Mason, the playable character in this particular mission. As with the previous levels we've seen, Mason gets a voice of his own. It's hard to get much sense of his character, but it's clear that Treyarch is trying to make its latest effort even more cinematic than Modern Warfare 2; from what we've seen so far, there certainly seems to be even more in the way of first-person cutscenes. Here the banter is simply a prelude to the main event, to the moment when Woods passes control of the Hind over to us, the player (or in this particular case, the Treyarch representative).

For Charity's Sake, Members of a Women's Social Club in England Disrobed for a Calendar, Becoming Pinup Heroes to Women of a Certain Age Everywhere
And, sometimes, nothing else. In their year 2000 calendar, 11 of 38 members of the Rylstone & District WI in northern England—ages 45 to 66—pose in the distinctly unbuffed buff, with little but teacups and clay pots for cover. (December is a group shot.) As a result, they have become the U.K.'s hottest female ensemble since the Spice Girls, selling a whopping 88,000 calendars and earning some $500,000 for Britain's Leukemia Research Fund.
England's mania for the Full Molly has even spread to the royal family; in April of 1999 they delivered a few calendars to Buckingham Palace. "We asked if the Queen and Queen Mum would really get them," says Tricia Stewart, 51, Miss October, a saleswoman. The equerry's response: "I can assure Madam the Queen likes to keep abreast—pardon the pun—of all the news."
Though all in fun, the calendar was not inspired by a happy occasion. In July 1998 WI member Angela Baker lost her husband, John, an official at Yorkshire Dales National Park, to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Looking for an attention-getting way to raise funds for cancer research, the least-inhibited WI members settled on shedding their clothes—an idea they had previously joked about. "I agreed to it after a few drinks," says Ros Fawcett, 50, a boutique owner. "The next morning I thought, 'What on earth have I agreed to do?' "
Two months after Baker's death they scheduled the first of three photo shoots at the sprawling 17th-century home of Lynda Logan, 56, a painter. Her husband, Terry, 61, a onetime art director, was behind the camera. ("It's every man's fantasy to be in a room with naked ladies," he says. "But it's work—and, besides, my wife was breathing down my neck.") Though wine flowed throughout, the women credit the widowed Baker, now 54, an information officer at Yorkshire Dales, with keeping them from backing out. "She just came in, dropped her dressing gown and sat on the piano stool," says Lynda Logan. "She said, 'If we are going to do this, we've got to do it right.' " With that, the rest were ready to grin and bare it. Or at least some of it. "My first photo was playing darts," says Christine Clancy, 47, an office administrator. "But we changed it to the tea pouring. You don't have much to hide behind with a dart!"
The women have been amazed by the thousands of letters they've received from fans who say they were inspired by the display. "Many women," says Beryl Bamforth, 66, a retired secretary who posed chairing a WI meeting, "have said, 'We feel better. We wouldn't necessarily take our clothes off—but we feel better.' " Plans to market the calendar in the U.S. are under way. And for the record all insist no retouching was done. At a recent calendar sale, recalls Lynda Logan, "one lady said, 'I bet a lot of airbrushing went on.' I said—with pleasure—'Madam, all the wrinkles are our own.' "

Nicolas Anelka was raging against the establishment yesterday afternoon. Faced with the threat of a long suspension over his controversial quenelle goal celebration, the West Bromwich Albion striker took to Facebook to demand that the FA "kindly remove the charges alleged against me".
The FA, of course, will do no such thing. Anelka has until 6pm today to make a formal response to a charge concerning a gesture that the FA, mindful of perceived anti-Semitic connotations, believes constituted an "aggravated" breach of its regulations.
If found guilty, he will face a ban under new FA regulations, which stipulate a minimum

Spanish Paleography at the Huntington Library, Los Angeles, California. Directed by Carla Rahn Phillips, University of Minnesota July 27-August 14, 2009
The institute will concentrate on documents written in Spanish from the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries, although participants will also examine earlier and later documents from time to time. Because Spanish styles of documentation and handwriting in this period followed standard norms, we can use documents produced in Spain, elsewhere in Europe, Spanish America, or even the Philippines to learn about those norms. Using photocopies, microfilm, and some original documents from the Huntington's collection, participants will develop their skills in accurately reading and transcribing a variety of document types: official reports, financial accounts, royal decrees, parish registers, inventories, land sales, wills, bills of lading, letters, diaries, and the like. All participants will receive a stipend. For more information, please contact Susi Krasnoo at email@example.com. Applications are due on March 2, 2009.
Italian Paleography at The Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles, California. Directed by Maddalena Signorini, Universitŕ degli Studi di Roma "Tor Vergata" July 27-August 14, 2009
This three-week residential course offers intensive training in the accurate reading and transcription of handwritten Italian vernacular texts from the late medieval though the early modern periods. The course is intended to enable scholars in various fields of specialization to acquire the skills to deal with primary sources. While the major emphasis is on paleographical skills, the course offers an introduction to codicological techniques, and considers the history of scripts within the larger historical, literary, intellectual and social contexts of Italy. Students receive an introduction to a wide range of types of writing and documents from literary to legal, notarial, official, ecclesiastical, business and family documents. The course includes an overview of the system of Italian archives — public, ecclesiastical, and private. Students also have the opportunity to work with original texts, using inventories, letters, diaries, and other types of manuscripts and documents from the special collections of the Research Library at the Getty Research Institute. The course is taught in Italian. The institute enrolls fifteen participants, all of whom will receive a stipend. For more information, please contact Joli Kishi at email@example.com. Applications are due on March 2, 2009.
English Paleography at the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, D.C. Directed by Heather Wolfe, Folger Library July 6-30, 2009
Over four weeks in the summer of 2009, Heather Wolfe, Curator of Manuscripts at the Folger Shakespeare Library, will provide intensive training in the accurate reading and transcription of early modern English handwriting. Participants will focus primarily on the secretary and italic hands in the Tudor and Jacobean periods. They will also experiment with contemporary writing materials; learn the terminology for describing and comparing letter forms; consider the various editorial conventions relating to abbreviations, interlineal insertions, and deleted text; create a "mini-edition" of their own; and discuss the important and evolving role of handwritten documents within a wider context of print, manuscript, and oral cultures. Examples will be drawn from the Folger's collection. Several guest faculty will provide their expert views of manuscript culture. All participants will receive a stipend. Please see http://www.folger.edu/institute for more information. Applications are due on March 2, 2009.

On Feb. 17, Dr. Rina Blanca Garza Davis (BS '63) received something for which she had waited 50 years: a crown worthy of The University of Texas-Pan American's first Homecoming Queen.
Davis, who was elected homecoming queen of then-Pan American College in 1963, was unable to attend the coronation ceremony because she and her future husband Joe "Bole" Davis (BS '61) were at their wedding rehearsal. She was later given a modest corona made of cardboard and aluminum foil to commemorate her achievement.
Proud of her accomplishment and the school that provided her with an education after her high school counselors told her she was not college material, Davis kept her makeshift crown in mint condition.
She expressed her gratitude for UT Pan American and fellow Broncs during the 50+ Reunion luncheon held at the UTPA Ballroom.
"I owe everything that I've done in my career ...to Pan American, to UTPA now," she said. "This is where my education started."
Davis went on to earn a master's degree from Southern Methodist University and a doctorate from East Texas State University (now Texas A&M University-Commerce) and was a school district associate superintendent in the Dallas area.
"It has represented something very important to me, not only the service I did at Pan Am, ... just the opportunity it provided me," she said. "Pan American is where it begins."
She and fellow Broncs from the Class of 1963 and earlier -- who were inducted into the University's 50+ Club -- marveled at how much the University has grown from the days when they were attending classes in buildings borrowed from the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District.
UTPA President Robert S. Nelsen told them more growth for the University is on the horizon.
"This campus has grown, it has grown a lot since you've been here, but it hasn't grown nearly enough yet," Nelsen told attendees.
Every two months in the Rio Grande Valley two new elementary schools and one new middle school are opened to accommodate the growing student population. And at one local hospital, 780 babies were born last month, Nelsen said.
"We've got to keep educating them and giving them opportunities," he said.
Nelsen also updated alumni about the creation of a new regional university and medical school. Upon approval from the Texas State Legislature, the new university will become an emerging research institution and the second largest Hispanic Serving Institution in the country. The new university -- which has yet to be named -- will also be eligible to access the Permanent University Fund to pay for building construction and other major projects.
"That will let us build buildings so those kids who are in those new elementary schools today, those babies who are being born today, will have a place to go, because it really all does start right here and Pan Am has helped you do what you're doing," Nelsen said.
He also praised alumni for their accomplishments and told them that they laid the foundation for the success of future generations.
Nelsen told attendees that students entering the University today are better prepared for the rigors of higher education, thanks to area high schools, which employ many UT Pan American alumni.
"From my heart I reach out to you and I ask you to stay involved in this university, come back, mentor our students, talk to your grandchildren, ... talk to all of the kids," he said. "Let them see the shining examples that you are and the amazing people that you are."
UTPA Vice President for University Advancement Veronica Gonzales echoed Nelsen's request for alumni to remain connected with the University.
"Alumni are the heart of the University," Gonzales said. "We do not grow without you being active and giving to the University."
Class of '63 inductee Jose V. Sanchez (BS '62), who attended the event with his wife Elida, earned his degree in education at Pan American College. His career path led him to eventually become the superintendent of the Progreso Independent School District, building the first high school there during his administration. He was also elected five times as the mayor of the city of Weslaco, where he was born.
In 2002, during one of his mayoral terms, he led the city to All-American City status. He's also proud that he helped initiate the High School Equivalency Program at UT Pan American, a federally-funded program that helps migrant and seasonal farm workers and their families earn their GEDs.
Sanchez recalled that he was called into the Army at age 17 from his family's migrant farm work picking cotton. He was able to attend college with the GI Bill.
"I was offered a scholarship to play on the baseball team but at that time I was married and going to school at night. It took me eight years to get all the hours to graduate," said Sanchez, who went on to earn a master's at then-Texas A&I in Kingsville.
The couple have five children, all college graduates.
Sanchez, who has written two books - "VIPS of the Barrio" and "Legacy of the Barrio," said the Valley is blessed to have the University and excited about its growth.
"In the Valley there was the well-to-do class and then there was the barrio - the poor people. The University has given all those people, the parents and the children who came afterward and their children, an opportunity to be all they could be. It is a chain of opportunity," he said.
Russell Talbert (BS '63) travelled from Houston with his wife Sandra to participate in the ceremony. He and his wife taught school briefly in the Valley before moving to Houston in 1967. He said this is the first time they have been to the campus since then.
"It (the campus) is amazing," said Talbert, who recalled only 2,000 students when he attended. He said it was "about time" when he learned of the announcement of establishing a medical school in the Valley.
Talbert, who earned a degree in social sciences, was editor of the University's student newspaper The Pan American and the yearbook and president of his fraternity. He said he especially enjoyed being a member of the debate team and the 15 hours of classes he took under Dr. Ralph Hayes, a speech teacher at the college.
Talbert, who earned a master's from then A&I and has done doctoral work at the University of Houston, taught school for 31 years in Deer Park, Texas. He retired 19 years ago but keeps busy working with a group of volunteers that does rehabbing of Christian camps in Texas.
His advice to current students was to "get serious, but not too serious."
"You can't get a degree and play. You can't earn a living playing but you need to enjoy yourself while doing it," he said.
Paul Hallock (BS '63), a new inductee who lives in Mission, was sporting his 1963 Pan American College class ring at the brunch. He was a three-year member of the track team, which won a state conference championship for two of those years. Hallock ran the 440, remembering his best time as 49.8 seconds, as well as in two relays.
His wife - the former Pat Welsh (BS '65) - still recalls her anger when Paul, the 1962 president of the Bronco Boosters, kissed, as part of his duties, the new Bronco Queen.
"It (the queen) was Sharon Nelson and Paul and I were engaged at that time. ," said his wife, who was away attending Trinity University then. "I was at Trinity and I didn't know he was down here kissing all the girls."
With his education degree, Paul Hallock coached football and track in McAllen and Mission for 10 years, then worked for an agricultural company for 19 years, and later went back to teaching and coaching cross country at Morris Middle School in McAllen for another 11 years. He retired in 2000 and enjoys playing golf.
Pat Hallock, who remembered a very small campus when she attended, called its growth fabulous.
"It has grown from a small town college to a University like this. I think that says a lot for South Texas," she said.
