Celebs attend museum's 30th anni gala
It's the rare occasion when so many industryites make their way to downtown's Museum of Contemporary Art.
"The last time I was here," said Joel Silver, "we were filming 'The Last Boy Scout' and someone threw Damon Wayans from the overpass onto a car."
Saturday's 30th anni gala (which Brett Ratner called "a mix of fashion, music, art, Hollywood and fabulousness") drew a 1,000-strong crowd that included Peter Chernin , Bob Iger and Jerry Weintraub.
The Carleen Cappelletti-designed fete was held in a 220-foot-long white tent that covered Grand Avenue. Inside 18 massive chandeliers hung above the 90 mirror-topped tables upon which Wolfgang Puck's coq au vin was served.
The evening's centerpiece was an eight-minute "conceptual performance piece" that featured a dozen Bolshoi dancers and Lady Gaga singing at a grand piano (later auctioned for $450,000) that had been painted pink by Damien Hirst. "The inevitable blend of 19th century Russian ballet with 20th century Gaga," was the way Mike Medavoy described the piece.
The Eli Broad-chaired evening raised $3.5 million.

Rock Band Wireless Fender Wooden
I bought two of these when they went on sale, and they are filled with some seriously strong components. Over time I've used the standard Gh guitars, and liked neither the clicking, nor the size and buttons. I switched to the RB pack-in and killed it off within two months, all the while feeling the strum-bar get sloppy and the whammy bar do the same as time went on. I then picked up the Mad Catz wired P Bass, (The wireless wasn't out yet). It lasted for 3 months, and then I went to a wireless P Bass which lasted 4 months. Following that I bought the Wooden Fender and have had it for 18+ months with no signs of wear even now. Even now there's no trace of a problem with the strum bar, the whammy bar, or the fret buttons. An added bonus is since I'm already used to using a full size and weight controller, it made the transition to the Pro Strat easier. This is an expensive controller if you don't pick it up on sale. But if you get one at the right price, it's a much better bargain than anything plastic out there. And it's drop dead gorgeous in either color. Buy it and you won't regret it. As a side note some people complain about getting a fret button that's sticky. If this happens the button wasn't lubed right at the factory. It's and easy fix. Just use a q-tip and either silicone grease or petroleum jelly. That will take care of them problem. I lubed one button on mine and have never had to do it again.

A double-double from Jamil Wilson with 16 points and career high 11 rebounds in addition to a solid 19-point team-high outing from Todd Mayo led the scoring attack for Marquette. "We know that were good players individually," said Mayo. "We need to take the next step and win together. Winning at home is big key in conference play. As long as we keep winning at home, other teams lose and we win overall (on the road), we will work our way up the ladder and it will help down the stretch."
[Todd Mayo was 4-6 FGs,9-9 FT for 19 pts]
Marquette jumped out to 40-26 halftime lead due in large part to shooting 55% (14-25) from the field. According to Mayo, "We are playing inside-out. I feel like we were knocking down shots today. Once Davante draws the double team and kicks it out it, it helps our guards on the perimeter." But Seton Hall wouldn't go down without a fight chipping away and cutting the deficit to just three points with under two minutes to play thanks to an aggressive full court press forcing Marquette's guards into multiple crucial turnovers. Marquette cooled off in the second half only shooting 37.5% (9-24) and was 0-10 from beyond on the arc in the last 20 minutes.
With 41.8 seconds remaining, Wilson stepped to the free-throw line and knocked down a pair of bonus free-throws to extend the Marquette lead to five points. However, Seton Hall's Brian Oliver comes back down court and drills a 3-pointer with 23.3 seconds left to make it a two-point game. Todd Mayo would go on to make both bonus free throws to give Marquette a 67-63 lead. Sterling Gibbs hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer, but it was not enough as Marquette escapes with a 67-66 victory despite being outscored by 13 points in the second half. Seton Hall capitalized on 22 points off Marquette's 12 turnovers. Marquette's largest lead of the game was 16 points very early at the start of the second half.
[Derrick Wilson had 8pts, 4 Asts, 2Reb 1 TO in 36 min]
Marquette's magic number for free throws this season is 15 makes from the charity stripe. The Golden Eagles are now 8-1 when it makes at least that many vs. 2-6 when under that mark. Marquette was 18-23 from the free throw line vs. Seton Hall including a perfect 9-9 from Todd Mayo. Three Seton Hall players finished in double figures consisting of Brian Oliver (15), Sterling Gibbs (13) and Patrick Auda (10). The Pirates were without Eugene Teague today.
Marquette will now have a full week to prepare to face the Butler Bulldogs on the road on Saturday, January 18th at 1 p.m. CT. Marquette hasn't won two games in a row since wins over IUPUI (Dec. 14) and Ball State (Dec. 17) and will look to do so in Butler's first matchup vs. Marquette as a member of the new look Big East Conference. The Golden Eagles haven't faced Butler in their home arena since the 1990-91 season when both teams were in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference.
Check the Marquette Hoops' Message Boards for post game comments from head coach Buzz Williams regarding the team's toughness/accountability, free throw differential in the game and Jamil Wilson's recent play at the 4 position.

LONTAR is the world's only biannual literary journal focusing on Southeast Asian speculative fiction. The journal was founded in 2012, in order to spread awareness of this literature to readers who might not normally be exposed to it, and to celebrate its existence and diversity within the region.
Issues #1 and #2 were published by Math Paper Press; issues #3 and onward are published by Epigram Books. Our contributors have won major literary awards in Singapore, USA, UK, Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines.
"Lontar" is the Bahasa Indonesia word for a bound palm-leaf manuscript, which is among the oldest forms of written media, dating as far back as the fifth century BCE and possibly earlier. They were used to record Buddhist sutras, law texts, epic mythic narratives, and treatises on a host of subjects such as astronomy, astrology, architecture, law, medicine and music. As such, this ancient form of writing is the perfect symbol for the curation of Southeast Asian speculative fiction: it is an early technology that revolutionised the dissemination of knowledge (it no longer had to be handed down exclusively in oral form), and it was used predominantly in India, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia and Laos.
LONTAR has a Patreon page! You can now directly support the efforts of the journal, and there are tiers of rewards depending on how much you pledge. We are aiming to become completely self-sufficient, and you can be part of this exciting venture. Become a LONTAR patron today!
LONTAR is open to unsolicited submissions on a rolling basis.
The editors of LONTAR are looking for quality literary writing with elements of the fantastic, which is in some way connected with the cultures, traditions, mythologies, folk religions, and/or daily life in Southeast Asia. While we are happy to look at works by writers outside of the region, we want to actively encourage Southeast Asian writers to submit your work. Please do not send submissions for consideration via email, as they will be deleted unread.
It's a good idea to read an issue or two of LONTAR before submitting to see exactly the type of writing we are looking for. Full guidelines can be found at the link below.

My 24SL415U has built in Netflix, but no function for turning on subtitles or closed captioning. I called Netflix and was told no Toshiba products have this function; it was recently added to Sony TVs. They said to add it, both Netflix and Toshiba engineers have to upgrade the software and firmware. I bought this TV in large part because of its built in Netflix capability. I would really appreciate this function being added. My mother is a little hard of hearing and the subtitles really make a big difference.
Yes, this is a frustrating thing. I too was wondering why my Toshiba 55" TV did not have Closed Captioning for NetFlix. After I noticed that I do have it with my Panasonic B21 Blu-ray player, I realized this is a manufacturing thing. Perhaps one day they'll do a firmware update. - Just another little annoying thing that they don't tell you up front.
I would also love to have an upgrade that would allow for subtitles with Netflix. We purchased the Toshiba 32SL415U for the built in Internet application, to avoid having to purchase another Roku box. But to our disappointment, we found the Toshiba TV did not handle subtitles for Netflix. My wife has genetic hearing loss and subtitles are critical for her viewing enjoyment. Your addition of this feature would be greatly appreciated.
I need closed captions for netflix also, so I guess I need to but another brand of TV! I will cancel netflix since I can't use it.

Beth Lipman explores the longing for belongings
Oscar Wilde once quipped he found it harder and harder each day to live up to his blue china. In other words, he found it difficult to measure up to the sense of himself as defined by his home and things.
With many of us as likely to spend our Sundays pushing big orange carts around Home Depot as praying in a pew, this preoccupation with possessions is all too familiar. »Read Full Blog Post
Skylight finds power of human spirit in 'El Cimarron'
Esteban Montejo, a onetime Cuban slave who lived to be 113, loved trees and the forests that held them. It's therefore no accident that Lisa Schlenker's scenic design for the just-opened Skylight Music Theatre production of "El Cimarrón" — Hans Werner Henze's musical adaptation of Montejo's remarkable autobiography — revolves around a massive tree.
Trees, Montejo continually suggests, are not just alive. They're also analogous to people, with their shadows expressly linked in his autobiography to human spirits. »Read Full Article

When Is Loud Too Loud? Preventing Hearing Damage
Although hi-fi speakers can be turned up to ear damaging levels, they have the advantage of not being strapped directly to your ear canal. Even more, speakers produce sound that travels through the air before it reaches your ears. Since air is an excellent absorber of sound, the overall sound pressure level will be reduced before it hits your ear drum. Private listening sessions on headphones and earbuds can be enjoyable, but you must excersice caution not to listen too loudly. A great article on "preventing hearing damage with headphones" can be found over at Headwize with tips for safe volume settings:
OSHA Regulation 1910.95 - Occupational noise exposure; decibel levels of musical noise.
Indoors in a quiet listening environment: According to the Airo study, listeners in a quiet room set headphone volumes at an average of 69 dB, a little less than the average sound level in a restaurant. With open-air headphones, the ability to hear normal conversation through the headphones is a good indicator that the volume level is safe. Because closed-ear headphones acoustically isolate the listener, normal conversation may not be audible when wearing these types of headphones. Instead, a safe volume level may be set by moving one earcup off and comparing the level in other earcup with that of normal conversation. Outdoors on a busy street: The average sound level on a busy street is about 80 dB. In the Airo study, when the outdoor noise was a mere 65 dB, listeners raised headphone volume levels to over 80 dB. Therefore, on a busy street, levels would likely have to be dangerously high to drown out ambient noise - especially if open-air headphones are used. While the Airo study recommends not using headphones in such noisy conditions, if the listener insists on musical accompaniment outdoors, closed-ear headphones and canalphones that substantially attenuate ambient noise may allow for safer listening volumes.Hearing Protection Our hearing is an integral tool used for communication, balance, and localization. The human auditory system is truly remarkable and sensitive. An audiologist can advise you on hearing protection options to help maintain the longevity of your hearing. Another option is to use AUDIO-CD Hearing Test, a self-administered hearing test designed for home use. The test is performed over a range of 24 frequencies -- from 20 Hz, the lowest frequency humans can hear, to 20,000 Hz, the highest frequency humans can hear. All you need to perform the test is a CD player and a set of headphones or earphones. Better safe than sorry!

Written by Jamie Maxwell
Our history as humans is filled with all kinds of mythologies and stories that we've always told each other. One of the most prevalent of these is the story of the rainbow, those colorful optical illusions made when the sun rays shine through water in the atmosphere. Beautiful to behold, the legends are full of people endlessly chasing down these hued arcs to find some rumored pot of gold that is said to reside at the end at the landing point of these rainbows. The irony in all of this is that there is no end of the rainbow. If you were to look at one from an airplane, you wouldn't see an arc with the ends touching down on the earth but a complete and never ending circle. Maybe the moral of this particular story is that we, as humankind, need to stop chasing that ever elusive happiness that always seems to be just out of reach and take a moment to look around us to see the joy that is all around us, right in front of our faces. With that being said, we'd like to take a moment to show you the wonderful things that are all around us at this beautiful moment in time.
Zara's Ungendered-TRF line
The lines of gender have become a little blurrier lately with the ideas surrounding socially acceptable gender-norms and expectations being continually expanded outside of the usual gender binary. Fashion, as a representation of culture is always shfting to match society's values and attitudes, so it was only a matter of time before clothing designers started to match this gradual foray into gender fluidity. Following suit from European department store Selfridge's unisex concept pop-up department, the aptly named Agender, Zara brings us a new unisex diffusion label called Ungendered-TRF filled with clothes that are designed with no particular sex in mind. Banishing the idea of women's jeans or boyfriend-cut jeans, they introduce a new way of thinking; just jeans. This matches a new attitude that seems to be sweeping through the fashion world, with even Jaden Smith recently appearing in an ad for Louis Vuitton's women's line. Next time you have a few moments to yourself and an internet connection, hop onto the Zara website and check out what all the fuss is about for yourself.
Glenbow Museum Free First Thursday
If you've been dying to get out of the house lately but your wallet is running on empty, we just have an idea that just might be of interest to you. Calgary is lucky enough to be home to The Glenbow Museum, which boasts impressive collections, both native to us and borrowed, and being the benevolent curators of culture that they are, they're willing to waive admission at the gate just for you. The first Thursday of every month is Free First Thursday and from 5pm to 9pm, you'll get that chance to glance at some amazing art or history without putting down a single cent. This month, lucky visitors will have a chance to experience the magic that is visionary Paul Hardy. You just may find that your next new favorite activity has been located under your nose this entire time.
Dandy Brewing Co.
Calgary is known for many things but craft beer is not usually one of them. With new regulations from the AGLC, the overlords controlling the rules around liquor sales and consumption in Alberta, new small batch microbrews are allowed to be smaller than ever before. Enter: Dandy Brewing Co., one of many new nano-breweries that have been popping up around town, with about 16 more slated for opening in the new future. Popping into their new taproom, you can sample any number of brews for any palate, including a joint effort with local brewers Tool Shed called 'Part Time Punks'. Craft beer has been quickly rising in popularity and is actually making a noticeable and even quantifiable dent in sales for some of the mainstream brewers. With quality ingredients and a versatile offering of flavors, it easily to see why beer drinkers are daring to drink on the wild side.

Not worth It!Hard to get in and out of parking lot because of only access from north. Hotel hard to find. I asked for late check out and when I got back to my room the maids had already cleaned and the manager pounded on my door telling me I had already checked out (which I hadnt). Room doesnt even have a hair dryer and bathroom not very clean.Rating:2
No Rooms AvailableThough the people at thedesk were very nice, I wound up with a smoking room because they didnt have anything else available. My clothes stank of cigarette smoke. Though i am glad that business was good for them, it would be nice to have seen them a bit more organized as far as tracking room reservations.Rating:4
It was okI had a little problem with the thermostat but the hotel was all right. I appreciated the good price and would recommend it for someone trying to save money.Rating:5
great stay in quiet suburbalthough it is a ways from the downtown Chicago area, the main bus that runs to the blue line drives right by the redroof inn. literally, across the street, just wait for the bus and youll be at the blue line in a matter of minutes. this is also close to a few cool eating spots.
Travelers tip on diningMitzuwa across the street has a food court with great japanese & chinese food. Los Compadres down the block serves great mexican food & opens early. On my way to OHare, I stopped by for pozole & champurrado. Im from southern California so typical mexican stuff like this hits the spot. A korean-owned japanese joint down the street is also a worthy selection.Rating:4

Nice budget hotelIt was nothing fantastic, but you get what you pay for. The room was clean, the hotel was close to restaurants, means of travel, grocery stores and other amenities. Would go back again if on a tight budget.Rating:5
Would definately stay again, very nice.The motel was very easy to find after getting off the highway. It was very easy to find our destination from hotel to convention. The area was full of shopping and restaurants. Our room was clean, the beds and pillows were very comfortable, the heating cooling system in the room was easy to use and comfortable. We requested extra towels and then each day after that we had plenty. I locked my key card in our room and asked at the desk for another and with thorough security checking I was given another. First time I have stayed in a Red Roof Inn and I would definately reccommend it and would stay again.
Travelers tip on diningThere were unlimited restaurants, coffee shops and shopping. Location was fantastic.Rating:2
Good and Bad???When we arrived at the Hotel it looked very clean and nice. The staff was very helpfull with some questions I had about traffic and when I should leave for my business meetings in the morning, and also their is some places to eat close to the hotel. And now the bad stuff.. the room was very nice but the king size pillow top bed was the worst Ive ever tried to sleep on, if you sit on the end or side of bed it seems fine, but once you lay down you will roll down to the middle, its like a giant hole that takes up 3/4 of the bed and very hard on your back, you look up at your feet kind of. and the other is the shower/tub.. the water was yellow-ish and it stayed that way.. for the money its perfect BUT only if you make sure you have a good bed, not a old worn out bed with a crader in the middle that you need to tie a rope around the bed post to climb out.Rating:5
Great place!Great location, great price - no make that fantastic price for the Chicago area, Great manager and staff! My new home away from home.Rating:4
Budget hotelgood place to stay if all you need is a place to rest at night. Multiple options for breakfast/dining within walking distance make up for the lack of food options in the hotel. Very close to I-90 exit that takes you straight to Chicago downtownRating:4
You get what you pay forWe took a last minute trip to Chicago and didnt want to spend a ton of money. We wanted a place to lay our heads at night and this is what we got. I dotn know if they serve breakfast because we always went out. The ladies at the front were very helpfull with directions. They did not provide a do not disturb sign so I called down to the desk and asked them not to clean our room and they didnt. For the price it was worth it. we plan on staying there again in the future. It was clean and smell free. The bed wasnt the most comfortable thing but it was fine.Rating:3
It is, what it isThis Hotel served its purpose for an overnight business stay.It was relatively clean and but could use an updateRating:4
Red Roof OhareJust fine for a low cost hotel, clean and quiet.Rating:4
You get what you paid forI just wanted basic place to stay at night. Of course one should note that this is Red Roof not a fancy hotel and expectations should be accordingly. It was marginally clean and I found if OK for such a price.Rating:1
Not impressedRoom was dirty and had ants. Expedia says this hotel is 5 miles from OHare, but the hotels website says its 9 miles from OHare. It took more time and cab fare to get places, due to inconvenient location.

Senate Committee Discusses Rebuilding Student Aid 'From Scratch'
November 15, 2013
To simplify the federal student-aid system, Congress should scrap the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, streamline the current patchwork of programs, and provide students with earlier estimates of their eligibility for aid, witnesses told the Senate education committee on Tuesday. The witness panel, which consisted of two researchers, an advocate for low-income students, and a consultant, offered varied prescriptions for fixing the student-aid system. But they agreed that the Fafsa, the form the government uses to assess financial need, remains too complex, and that prospective students would benefit from earlier aid estimates.

I would pick Haruhi from SHnY. Even though I would probably be spending more time trying to prevent the destruction of the universe more than anything else, I'm sure it would be lotsa fun ^_^. If Kyon can do it and live to tell the tale, then its doable, and I'm a sucker for Tsundere Moe xD.

Nia from Gurren Lagann, of course she's not going to cook ever. Also Haruhi, but then if I do that I will have no control over my life what so ever. Also Ibis, she's really my type but then I will have to travel in space with her which is kinda a drawback. I just realize that all the character that I want to marry will be pretty much make my life worse .

Clarksville, Maryland
|Clarksville, Maryland
|Unincorporated community
Montrose Manor in Clarksville.
|United States of America
|July 4, 1851
|Founded by
|William Clark
|• County Councilwoman
|Mary Kay Sigaty
District 4
|Time zone

|Area code(s)
|410 & 443
Clarksville is an unincorporated community in Howard County; the second wealthiest county in the United States according to the U.S. Census Bureau.[1] The community is named for William Clark, a farmer who owned much of the land on which the community now lies and served as a postal stop that opened on the 4th of July 1851.[2][3]
Some of the most expensive homes on the East Coast are located in or around the town, whose property values are among the highest in the country. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Clarksville District 5 has a population of 56,239, with an estimated average income of $195,124, with median income of $160,606.
The village of River Hill (which include Pheasant Ridge and Pointers Run), the newest addition to the Rouse Company development of Columbia, is adjacent to Clarksville.
Clarksville's public schools, part of the Howard County public school system, are among the highest-ranked in the nation and often have significantly higher funding than competing private and charter schools.
The area is located southwest of Baltimore and north of Washington, D.C., and many residents of Clarksville commute to work in one of these two cities or their close-in suburbs.
Montrose and Richland Farm are listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[4]
In 1699, Thomas Browne, a Patuxent Ranger, ranged the river from the Snowden plantation to where Clarksville is sited.[5] The area was settled with tobacco plantations such as Folly Quarter and Hobbs Regulation with slave labor.[6] In 1838, Dr. William Watkins of Richland Manor proposed the "Howard District" of Anne Arundel County, which became Howard County in 1851.[7] Clarksville's name originates from John R. Clark's family who immigrated from Ireland to the Howard District of Anne Arundel County in 1790. The land he purchased included Jack Howard's blacksmith shop, one of the few African American operated blacksmith's in the county.[8] Clarksville postal office listed the population as just 65 in the 1930s with the key industry of agriculture and limestone mining. Numerous apple orchards were situated between Clarksville and Ashton.[9] In 1869 the town became the terminus of the ten mile Ellicott City and Clarksville turnpike built over the old Sandy Spring road, a ten-mile private toll road created in a time before county maintained roads which later became route 108.[10][11]
Clarksville is perhaps best known for its highly successful high school, River Hill. The school made the 397th rank on Newsweek's Top 1,200 High School [1] River Hill, opened in 1996. It has 1,652 students and ranks as one of the top schools in the state of Maryland. In 2005, River Hill had a 97.55% graduation rate, ranking the highest in Maryland. 86.3% of its students passed the HSA (High school Assessment). River Hill is also very successful in sports, capturing numerous state titles in many sports. The boys' soccer team has captured three of the last four class 3A state titles (losing in 2006 to rival Mount Hebron). In 2007 River Hill won five state championships in the fall: Football, Boys' and Girls' Soccer, and Boys' and Girls' Cross Country. In addition, Clarksville Middle School's Wind Ensemble attended the prestigious Midwest Clinic in 2009, being the first middle school from Maryland to perform there.
It is also the home of the world-renowned Team Rocket Zero Robotics team, a part of the River Hill High School computer science program.
Pop culture[edit]
Clarksville, MD was referenced in the Fox television show 24 as the target for surface missiles by terrorists in the seventh season episode having the original air date of April 13, 2009.[citation needed]
The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Clarksville has a humid subtropical climate, abbreviated "Cfa" on climate maps.[12]

Dear Sir,
I wanted to port from Reliance cdma postpaid to Vodafone GSM postpaid dated 13th Sept 2011. I had paid Rs 20/- for that. I had generate the UPC code for port in and keep advance payment in reliance so it will not get cancelled again from reliance side. And i called Vodafone customer care 18001234567 and Vodafone executive told me that our executive will come to your office and will pick the documents from your office and he will fill the form.
The same day executive from Andromeda Marketing Pvt. Ltd. from Sakinaka, Mumbai Mr.Ashok came to my office and again collected the documents.
After 10 Days also i have not heard anything from Vodafone's side and the Customer Care nos. provided in the bill 9619218137 / 9619218126 are never attended. I feel they have provided these fake nos so that nobody can reach them,
I am really fed up with the support given by vodafone side. For registering any complaints i had to wait for almost 1 hour in vodafone gallery and then also didn't get any solution. I am despair with all this things.
I called the reliance customer care, the executive told that they didnot recieved any request from vodafone, Then i called vodafone customer care.
The vodafone executive told that please keep in touch with andromedia. The customer care no.s given on reciept are never attended.
Unfortunate Customer,
Narender Nimma(9320606354)

The Borger Bulldogs walked into Kimbrough Memorial Stadium on Friday night and gave the Canyon Eagles all they could handle.
But in the end, it was the Eagles' ability to produce touchdowns while holding the Bulldogs to field goals that was the difference in a 20-13 Canyon win in the District 5-3A opener for both teams.
In the other 5-3A game, Perryton beat Dalhart, 21-14, in the district openers for both teams.
After going into halftime tied 7-7, Canyon scored two second-half touchdowns while holding Borger to two field goals.
On its first possession of the second half, Borger drove from its own 36 to the Canyon 17, but on third-and-seven, Canyon linebacker Kris Campos pressured Borger quarterback Tyler Kirklin into an incompletion. Borger took a 10-7 lead on a 34-yard field goal from Andrew Mason.
After Canyon tied the game at 13 on a 55-yard post-route touchdown from Anthony Ramos to Mitch McCarty, Borger drove from its own 45 to the Canyon 19 before the Canyon defense clamped down and held Borger to a 36-yard Mason field goal.
Canyon 20, Borger 13
Records: Canyon is 6-2, 1-0. Borger is 3-4, 0-1.
Impact: Canyon opens District 5-3A play with a win.
Key Stat: The Eagles intercepted two passes inside their own 5.
"Our kids played hard," said first-year Borger head coach Tim Anuszkeiwicz who played and coached at Canyon. "They've done everything I've asked them to do this year. We had two possessions where we got down there and kicked two field goals. If one of those turns into a touchdown, the game may be different, but I was real proud of the effort we got out of our kids against a good football team."
Campos would score the game-winning touchdown from 1-yard out with 9:47 to play on his only carry of the game. His score capped a 50-yard drive that was set up by Eid Al-Dosari's 35-yard kickoff return to midfield.
Borger's defense, led by senior linebacker Jake Topper and senior rover Ricardo Gonzales, held the high-powered Canyon offense to 254 yards and pressured Ramos into an atypical 6-of-13 first-half performance.
Ramos, who came into the game with 1,737 passing yards, would find his bearings in the second half, connecting on five of his first six passes, including the deep ball to McCarty which spread out the Borger defense. Ramos finished 11-of-21 for 135 yards.
"Hats off to Borger and how hard they played," Canyon head coach Blake Bryant said. "We knew they were a good team because we've watched them on film and followed them some. They're doing a great job, so we beat a good team tonight. They had a great game plan, but we stayed patient and finally hit that big post and pulled them out of some of their scheme."
The Canyon defense held Borger to 210 total yards and forced three turnovers. Tyler Vaughn and Carlos Hernandez each snuffed out Borger drives with interceptions inside the Canyon 5.
Borger had one final scoring chance, moving the ball to the Canyon 47 with a minute left to play, but Jake Romero broke up a Kirklin pass intended for Jervick Norman on fourth-and-four.
"We met with our defense after the Snyder game," Bryant said. "We just had a little talk about who we needed to be if we were going to be who we wanted to be, and they played their butts off tonight."
The first half was a field-position struggle, with each team producing a one scoring drive.
The Bulldogs held Canyon to 121 first-half yards, including just 46 in the air. Canyon opened the scoring with a 12-play, 79-yard scoring drive that was capped by a 3-yard plunge by Jake Romero with 7:43 left in the half. The drive was highlighted by a 16-yard run by Romero to midfield that gave Canyon a first down at the Borger 35 after a late hit penalty. Canyon also converted on a fourth-and-14 from the Borger 26 when Ramos hit Weston Dean on the sideline for a 14-yard gain and a first down by half the length of the ball.
Borger controlled the field position in the first half because of the punting of Andrew Horton who had first-half punts of 66, 48, 47 and 41 yards. Horton averaged 55.2 yards on five punts. Borger tied the game at 7 with 22 seconds left in the half on a 1-yard run by Horton. The five-play, 26-yard drive was set up by a Horton punt that pinned Canyon at its own 9. On the first play of Canyon's drive, Ramos was intercepted by Skyler Karins at the 40, and Karins returned it to the Canyon 26.
The Canyon defense held Borger to 61 yards in the first half and produced two of its three turnovers. Campos recovered a Horton fumble at the Canyon 36, and Vaughn intercepted a Kirklin pass at the 4, but his momentum carried him into the end zone for a touchdown.
After completing 4-of-11 passes for 17 yards in the first half, Kirklin finished 13-of-23 for 97 yards.

Preamble – When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the culinary bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and preeminent station to which the Laws of BBQ and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to declare South Carolina's BBQ Supremacy.
Nepotism is a well-known part of S.C. state government.
Lawmakers routinely appoint their siblings and spouses and friends to university boards and various state commissions, for example. Less well known are the outsized salaries associated with some of those positions.
Before considering the salaries of lawmakers' friends and relatives, though, take a look at the salaries of those in charge of core state agencies – law enforcement and the like.
I'll make this short and sweet. When I think of Hillary Clinton, a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson comes to mind.
"The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons."
I think that about sums her up.
Ronald Hopkins
Recently, I was talking with a Columbia woman who works with government contracting on the local, state and national level. She has built a multimillion-dollar business, and she runs it with honesty and integrity.
In talking about her work with S.C. state government, she said something that stopped me dead in my tracks. "State government has become so corrupt on every level," she said, "and it's been that way for so long that people just accept it as business as usual – just the way it is."
Last week, the S.C. Transportation Commission voted to spend $21.5 million in federal money on a list of projects associated with Congressman Jim Clyburn.
The commission-approved project list looks very different from the state Department of Transportation's road project priority list, however. It includes, for example, $11.5 million for a Main Street revitalization project in Sumter and about $360,000 for pedestrian facilities in Anderson – neither of which are anywhere on DOT's priority list.
I got the mail today.
A couple of bills. A greeting card. Some catalogs. A newspaper. One package that my wife grabbed right away. (Wonder what that was?)
Lately, it occurs to me how completely I take for granted that I will get the mail tomorrow.
I have written twice in the last 20 months to praise our officers for using restraint when controlling violent encounters that could have turned deadly.
Now I have the pleasure of complimenting Deputy Tammy Wolf of the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office for her clear thinking and decisive actions that prevented the death of a comatose woman.
Thank you, Deputy Wolf. I feel secure walking the streets and driving the roads of Lancaster County because I know that if I have an emergency, you and your fellow officers will be there for me.

Cybersecurity concerns are no longer limited to Silicon Valley computer engineers or mysterious government offices—they touch virtually every U.S. citizen in some form, whether through online banking or by simply shopping at Target. The recent data breaches of Anthem Insurance, Ashley Madison, and the Office of Personnel Management compromised the confidential information of tens of millions of American citizens. What is the best way to prevent further hacks and address privacy concerns? How can we protect our digital lives? This year's Allen L. Poucher Legal Education Series will bring together the nation's leading experts on data security, national security, and internet policy to discuss these and other concerns surrounding cybersecurity.
"Cybersecurity and our Digital Lives: A Policy Discussion" will be held Monday, November 9, at 5:30 p.m. in the Reitz Grand Ballroom, located at 686 Museum Road, Gainesville, Florida 32611. The lecture is sponsored by the Allen L. Poucher Legal Education Series and is presented by the Florida Law Review. The lecture is free and open to the public. Free parking will be available at the Reitz parking garage as well as in the parking lot at the intersection of Museum Road and Center Drive.
The Allen L. Poucher Legal Education Series was endowed by Betty K. Poucher, Elizabeth Poucher Reynolds, and Allen L. Poucher, Jr. in honor of Allen L. Poucher Senior. A humanitarian who lived a life dedicated to service, Allen L. Poucher Sr. graduated from UF Law in 1942 and practiced law for more than 60 years.

Best Uses
We had a mustache birthday party for my husband who turned 60. These columns brightened up the cake table and we had tons of great comments regarding the decorations. It was easy to assemble and actually bigger than I thought. I loved the bright colors of the column and every guest had a great comment to make about the decorations. The best thing about this product is that I will be able to use over and over again. I really couldn't find anything negative about the column. The product was very sturdy.

Skip to comments.Pentagon to Detail Troops to Bolster Domestic Security
Posted on 12/01/2008 7:52:18 AM PST by Historix
The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials.
The long-planned shift in the Defense Department's role in homeland security was recently backed with funding and troop commitments after years of prodding by Congress and outside experts, defense analysts said.
There are critics of the change, in the military and among civil liberties groups and libertarians who express concern that the new homeland emphasis threatens to strain the military and possibly undermine the Posse Comitatus Act, a 130-year-old federal law restricting the military's role in domestic law enforcement.
But the Bush administration and some in Congress have pushed for a heightened homeland military role since the middle of this decade, saying the greatest domestic threat is terrorists exploiting the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, dedicating 20,000 troops to domestic response -- a nearly sevenfold increase in five years -- "would have been extraordinary to the point of unbelievable," Paul McHale, assistant defense secretary for homeland defense, said in remarks last month at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. But the realization that civilian authorities may be overwhelmed in a catastrophe prompted "a fundamental change in military culture," he said.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
"But the Bush administration and some in Congress have pushed for a heightened homeland military role since the middle of this decade, saying the greatest domestic threat is terrorists exploiting the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction."
-It's a good thing Bush sealed the border so we don't have to worry about it as much.
The Posse Commitatus Act needs revising, but it does give me pause having thousands of military assuming national law enforcement duties under the next President.
Ya, rediculous, let's don't seal the border or profile airline passengers, instead, let's gear up from the eventual attack that we are going to just let happen. The USA doesn't deserve to exist any longer frankly, it has forfeighted it's inheritance ...
Will these troops soon be tranferred and issued new uniforms with National Civilian Security Force markings...something like a pair of lightning bolts, perhaps?
They're preparing for the coming revolution. They'll send southern rural troops against the inner cities, and urban troops against the southern suburbs and rural areas.
< /tin foil hat >
Are those the same ones who complained that President Bush allowed (or caused) New Orleans to flood because he didn't send in troops within minutes of Katrina's landfall?
This is but one more example of how government puts bandaids on a problem instead of fixing the problem.
Oh well, I guess it will make the illegal Mexicans feel right at home. For decades the Mexicans have had their Federales set up roadblocks to check out papers held by drivers.
This is very bad and runs contrary to our American traditiosns of civilian control. This is another dangerous Bush legacy for Obama.
The "leftists" won't complain about this because they now control the troops! It is the conservatives who supported this kind of thing that will have reason to complain. Unfortunately, many of them won't have a leg to stand on in terms of principle.
I believe under Posse Comitatus, the military is allowed to be used for training civilian law enforcement and they are allowed to 'loan' their equipment, etc. But, the military is not supposed to take an active role in LE unless LE is unable to do so. And we are clearly not in that situation.
This whole thing concerns me because I see it starting off as a training session, then tip toe'ing over the line, then revising laws to ignore the purpose of Posse Comitatus.
It sounds like this is where BO's Domestic Civilian Security Force starts.
I do not agree with this at all..
Despite the call to reform the Act. Military troops are not the right way to go within the borders. Basically the troops are trained to defend the country though combat power.. not domestic duties outside of the gates of the installations.
But.. this is not the only thing happening in the military that seems crazy since I went and retired.
Best way to start a fight is to get right up in someones face.
My Government is getting in my face.
It would seem President Bush gave Obama all of the tools he will need, it hardly seems by chance.
Yes, BO has Bush and other Republicans to thank for it! Maybe, conservatives will start being suspicious of the federal police state again, as they were under Clinton. We can only hope they will continue to remain so even if a Republican comes back to power.
I find it very strange too that Bush would do this. I would have expected BO to have implemented this allowing him to train his civlian force. This is getting stranger by the day. Where's my tinfoil?
We have the national guard for that - I don't buy the premise for this "need".
We get all this security, now I wonder how much liberty its going to cast us.
Thanks to all the short-sighted "conservatives" who may well find themselves being branded domestic terrorists by the marxist government scheduled to be sworn in January 20,2009.
What crimes are these home forces going to fight?
It is not "tinfoil" to distrust federal use of the military for police enforcment purposes....that is unless you want to call Jefferson, Paine, and Adams "tinfoil."
All I can say is:
Look at my tagline.
"What crimes are these home forces going to fight?"
Bill Ayers seriously planned camps for 25 million resistant to his version of "hope" and "change." What do you think?
You are correct, but unfortunately the Bush supporters will see anybody who questions this as a tinfoil wearing something-rather, and they will do their best to defend his decisions.
Well, I guess we can ignore Posse Comititatus now. It's for "security," after all. Unbelievable.
POLICE STATE here we are.
Bad news. Mark the date.
In retrospect it seems hard to believe that Bush-McCain and the Obama forces were seen as having been on opposite sides.
Please Mr. Conservative (insert sarcasm here) President Bush, go ahead and do one more bone-headed act before you leave office!
"Is America so dangerous (except for our inner cities that we don't have to visit) that we need troops with guns and tanks running down our streets?"
You know, it probably is.
Think about what would happen if a small nuke went off in LA or a like city. Think of the rioting and mass of criminals who would take advantage of the civil unrest. Think of the people who are incapable of surving on their own (New Orleans).
That said, the danger of a Reichstag situation where a utopian opportunist uses some real disaster like an attack seize power is very real.
I mean, the Dhims try now to rig elections (Minnesota comes to mind).
Just think what they would do in a real emergency.
And law-and-order conservatives would be the first to back up and circle the wagon around the government.
The reason we don't have military law enforcement, is we don't want people trained to automatically obey the orders of their superiors, and without training in what UNLAWFUL orders need to be rejected, doing enforcement on the streets.
And for domestic emergencies, that's what the National Guard is for.
I would much prefer for National Guard to be given federal CCW authorization throughout the US (after suitable training), even in states that prohibit CCW.
The Road to Serfdom
by Friedrich A. Hayek
The best possible Homeland Defense, IMO, would to offer a concealed carry permit to every citizen who is not a felon.
Interesting. I think we did something exactly like that vis-a-vis JEB Stuart's rednecks in the north and Sherman's city boys in the rural south a while back.
Remember the N.O. Police chief saying: We are taking the guns. Nobody will be allowed to have guns but the military and the police. Then they brought in combat hardened troops from gun control states like Illinois to go dough to dough and seize them evil weapoons.
Perfect timing for Prez Hussein. I'll bet he's got his list and he's checkin' it twice....
It's hard enough to train local law enforcement in my state that open carry of defensive firearms is legal and not a valid basis for stopping and questioning someone absent any other element, so I can't possibly imagine what it'd be like with military personnel.
Any mention of putting some troops on the border?
I recommend a dark short story titled "Diner" from Perpetuity Blues and other stories by Neal Barrett, Jr.
It really tempers my thinking on these things.
It's a disturbing prevision of a post-nuclear Southeast Texas fishing community, occupied by Chinese communist peacekeepers. Think of a day when illegal mexicans are the least of your worries, and hell, your trading partners for food.
The way I look at it, the USA doesn't actually exist anymore. We are living the beginning of the post-Constitutional period. Last true demonstration of the Constitution was BillJeff's impeachment.
This only makes it that much easier to move from capitalism to socialism/Marxism.

2004 Subaru Outback Limited AWD 4dr Wagon (2.5L 4cyl 5M)
It is a decent car. It performs very well in snow -- better than our 4x4 rig. It is, well, just boring. But it is good.
Heated leather seats.
Tighter turning, more power.
Just bought this 04' Outback Limited as a leftover in 3/05. Got a super deal on it - apparently no one drives 5-speeds anymore. Subaru's are a super reliable and practical. I needed a car that was excellent in the snow but yet great on gas and roomy. I originally had a 2002 Nissan Sentra which was a great car but it was so light that it was all over the place in inclimate weather. I didn't feel like buying a 2nd car, like a little Nissan pickup. I've been a loyal Nissan customer since 1995, but the Subaru's make more sense to me. If you are considering one car that can really do it all check out any of the Subaru wagons, just not the Outbacks. The Standard Legacy wagons are probobly the best value.
Smooth transmission. Great handling, although I'm not a great fan of Bridgestone Potenza's!
Off the line Outbacks are not the quickest cars, however the are heavy. It could can use a few more horsepower. Just a minor improvement.
BEWARE!!! Serious problems with
inability to maintain stable engine
speed when going from no throttle to
very slight throttle and back, most
noticeable in low gear, when looking
for a parking spot, for example. Also
apparent using cruise control at
freeway speeds. Results in neck-
jerking acceleration and deceleration.
Quite annoying, if not seriously
unsafe. Passengers notice and comment
on problem. Test drive carefully. We
didn't and now find that it is typical
of all Outback manual transmission
cars. Dealer says it's "normal."
I'm not very happy right now.
This is a serious issue, that Subaru is

Water banking works like a savings
account for water.
Like a savings account, water banking provides the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) the ability to store water for future use. Through several programs and agreements, SNWA "banks" water as a reserve supply.
Banked water resources provide a critical tool to meet water demands during a shortage and provide interim supplies while other resources are being developed. SNWA currently has three water banking projects, which store nearly six years worth of Nevada's Colorado River allocation.
SNWA has stored approximately 601,000 acre-feet (AF) of Colorado River water underground in Arizona's aquifers for SNWA's future use.
For SNWA to recover this water, Arizona will utilize the banked water and forgo use of a like amount of Colorado River water. The SNWA will then divert the water from facilities at Lake Mead. SNWA can recover up to 40,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) during any supply condition and may recover up to 60,000 AFY during a declared shortage.
Between 2004 and 2012, SNWA entered into various agreements that allow it to store Nevada's unused Colorado River water in California. As of 2014, Nevada has banked more than 205,000 AF of water in California and can recover up to 30,000 AFY during normal and shortage conditions, subject to agreement terms.
Beginning in 1987, the Las Vegas Valley Water District and later the City of North Las Vegas – both SNWA agencies – began pumping treated Colorado River water into the valley's primary groundwater aquifer in years when Nevada's Colorado River allocation exceeded demand.
As of 2014, SNWA has accumulated approximately 337,000 AF of water stored in the Las Vegas Valley aquifer for future use through an agreement with the Las Vegas Valley Water District.
SNWA may recover water banked under this agreement in any water supply condition.

Good recipe... ends up more like a Lo Mein. Definitely a different taste and not too spicy. The spices are just right. I also doubled the beef and the marinade. Thank you:-)
This was a tasty meal. I doubled the beef, broccoli, vinegar, brown sugar and garlic, but left the amounts of pasta and all remaining ingredients the same. I think everything was perfectly proportioned that way (would have been way too much pasta in ratio to beef and broccoli otherwise....JMO). I marinated the beef for 12 hours...mmmm...nice and tender. I added some sliced onion. I like that this meal uses linguini rather than the Asian-inspired beef and broccoli recipes that use rice. I'll make this yummy, quick and easy meal again. Thanx! (I had no cherry tomatoes for garnish...sorry.)
