GW Women's Squash Advances With 6-3 Win Over Middlebury
Colonials to Meet No. 10 Brown in Saturday's Kurtz Cup Semifinals
Feb. 21, 2014
GW (12-5) advances to face No. 10 Brown on Saturday at 4:45 p.m. in the semifinals. The Bears knocked off No. 15 Williams, 7-2, to reach the semifinal round.
The Colonials won the top three matches on the ladder, two of them in straight sets, and added wins at Nos. 5, 7 and 9 to defeat the Panthers for the second time this season. GW also prevailed, 7-2, over Middlebury on January 26 at the Yale Round Robin.
Both sophomore Anna Gabriela Porras (No. 1) and freshman Breanne Flynn (No. 2) cruised in straight sets in their respective matches. Porras won 11-6, 11-6, 11-9 over Abby Jenkins while Flynn earned her team-best 14th win of the season with an 11-7, 11-5, 11-6 sweep of Charlotte Dewey.
At No. 3, sophomore Alejandra Porras earned a four-set victory over Annie Wymard by scores of 11-5, 13-11, 8-11, 11-8 for her 12th victory of the season.
Sophomore Emely Levyn provided what was the match clincher at No. 5 with an 11-9, 10-12, 11-6, 11-7 win over Tiff Hau to put the Colonials up 5-2.
Also earning wins for the Colonials was sophomore Eunice Tan (11-7, 11-5, 11-4) at No. 7 and freshman Mehak Chawla (11-6, 11-2, 11-3) at No. 9.
GW will look to avenge its loss earlier this season to Brown on Saturday afternoon. The Bears defeated the Colonials, 6-3, on January 12. Flynn, Anna Gabriela and Alejandra Porras all provided victories in the last meeting.

Drone strikes on trial in Pakistan
By George Gao
UNITED NATIONS - Adding fuel to a long-simmering dispute between the US and Pakistan, a Peshawar High Court declared Central Intelligence Agency drone strikes illegal last Thursday, referring to such attacks in Pakistan's tribal belt as "war crime[s]".
The court called for its nation's "use of force, if need be" to prevent further civilian deaths from US drone strikes. It also ordered Pakistani delegates at the United Nations to bring forth the issue with the Security Council, where Pakistan is currently a non-permanent member.
Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan, who presided over the case, cited a litany of broken international laws and agreements, ranging from the UN Charter to the UN Millennium Declaration and the
Geneva Conventions. He also called for the US government to redress Pakistani civilian victims of US drone strikes, and for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to establish a war crimes tribunal to investigate further injustices.
However, Masood Khan, the permanent representative of Pakistan to the UN, did not address the topic of US drone strikes in his statement on counter-terrorism to the Security Council today, despite the Peshawar ruling.
Philip G Alston, a former UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, told IPS, "There is an important symbolism in the findings of the Peshawar Court."
Alston applauded the court's determination to highlight the fact that the US Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) drone strikes are inconsistent with international law. However, he noted, the legal reasoning behind the ruling was not "impeccable".
"I doubt that either the (US) or Pakistani governments will be moved by the far-reaching orders issued by the court," he said, "but the message being sent is nonetheless an important one."
Mirza Shahzad Akbar - a legal fellow at Reprieve and a Pakistani lawyer who defended victims in the Peshawar case - referred to the High Court's decision as a "landmark judgment".
He stated in a press release, "This judgment will also prove to be a test for the new government: if drone strikes continue and the government fails to act, it will run the risk of contempt of court."
In 2010, Akbar assisted the US Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in a terrorism case involving a Pakistani diplomat. But their relationship turned sour when Akbar and his legal charity, the Foundation for Fundamental Rights, decided to sue the CIA for launching a drone strike on March 17, 2011 that killed a group of Pakistani civilians.
When Akbar planned a trip form Pakistan to New York in June 2011 to speak at Columbia Law School, the US State Department initially refused to grant him a visa.
In February 2013, US President Barack Obama pledged in his State of the Union address to make his counter-terrorism strategy - including the "targeting, detention, and prosecution of terrorists" - more legally accountable and transparent.
Asked if Obama had held true to his words, Brett Kaufman, the National Security Fellow at the American Civil Liberties Union's (ACLU) National Security Project, told IPS, "No. Despite repeated promises from President Obama and the new CIA director John Brennan and the Attorney General Eric Holder during a hearing before the Senate, the (Obama) administration has not taken any efforts to increase transparency."
Asked if there was any pressure from the legislative or judicial branches to curb executive powers over US targeted drone strikes, Kaufman said, "I think the best example of legislative pressure came before and during the confirmation hearing for John Brennan, the CIA director."
He explained, "At the same time, there was the leak of the white paper to NBC News. In the wake of all of that, the government released an official version of the white paper and granted access to two committees in the Senate to view the actual underlying Office of Legal Counsel memoranda that authorized the killings of US citizens by the executive branch.
"After the confirmation of Brennan ... there hasn't been nearly as much legislative pressure," he said.
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism estimates 368 total CIA drone strikes in Pakistan from 2004-13, of which 312 occurred under Obama's direction. It also estimates that between 2,541 and 3,533 people were killed, 411-844 of which are civilians, and 168-197 of which are children.
Last month, US protestors launched "April Days of Action" to protest military bases, universities and companies where drones are used, supported and built. The protests - which sought to raise awareness about US drone strikes - were partly inspired by Republican Rand Paul's 13-hour filibuster of John Brennan's nomination as CIA director. Paul's filibuster highlighted Brennan's opaque drone policies.
Obama's former legal aids - Jeh Charles Johnson and Harold Hongju Koh - also cautioned against continued government secrecy over drone programs.
Johnson, the former general counsel for the Department of Defense, entertained the idea of establishing a "national security court" or a "drone court" during his March 18 keynote address at the Center on National Security at Fordham Law School.
"The problem is that the American public is suspicious of executive power shrouded in secrecy," he said. Johnson noted, however, the many complications of creating of such a court to oversee executive power in counter-terrorism operations.
Koh, a former legal adviser to the US Department of State who defended Obama's drone policy in 2010, addressed CIA drone strikes at the Oxford Union in the UK on May 7. He admitted that the Obama administration "has not done enough to be transparent about legal standards and the decision-making process that it has been applying".
Koh added, "Because the administration has been so opaque, a left-right coalition running from Code Pink to Rand Paul has now spoken out against the drone program." Koh noted that the lack of transparency is the core issue, rather than the drone strikes per se.
Asked if the CIA has improved its transparency measures for drone strikes, Alston, the John Norton Pomeroy Professor of Law at New York University School of Law, said, "Unfortunately, the terms CIA and transparency cannot realistically be used in the same sentence. Like other intelligence agencies, it is dedicated to the highest possible level of opacity, not transparency. That is the very reason why it should not be carrying out lethal operations."

When Skate and Surf announced its intention to come back this spring, many old fans of the festival were expecting something modest and scaled back.
Guess again.
The rock, pop, and hip-hop festival, which will take place at the Plaza Green at iPlay America in Freehold on May 18 and 19, continues to grow. Eleven more names were added to the lineup yesterday, which means that almost 70 acts have now confirmed for Skate and Surf 2013. Tuneful pop-rock band Hollywood Ending, dubstep-metal wrecking crew Skip the Foreplay, electro-rapper T. Mills (a favorite of Skate and Surf organizer John D'Esposito), wiseacre emcee Pittsburgh Slim and others will join main attractions Fall Out Boy and A Day To Remember in Monmouth County this May.
Fall Out Boy, a pop-punk outfit that successfully crossed over from the Warped Tour circuit to mainstream success in the mid-'00s, returns from a hiatus to headline the Saturday, May 18 bill. Among the artists appearing on a strong undercard are the hedonistic Andrew WK, Toronto synthpop tunesmith LIGHTS, the pleasantly twee Candy Hearts, and Into It. Over It, the solo project of Evan Weiss of the Progress. Florida thumpers A Day To Remember head Sunday's lineup, which will also include appearances by Princeton's respected Saves The Day and Seattle rapper Macklemore, who recently topped the Billboard Hot 100 with the humorous "Thrift Shop."
A Day To Remember was also one of the headliners at the 2011 Bamboozle, which was held in the MetLife Stadium parking lot. John D'Esposito ran that Bamboozle, just as he had run every Bamboozle since the festival's beginnings in Asbury Park. Last year, Bamboozle returned to Asbury without D'Esposito at the helm. Bamboozle 2012 took over the boardwalk north of Convention Hall in Asbury Park, and welcomed Bon Jovi and the Foo Fighters to its massive mainstage. This was a departure for a festival that had always showcased up-and-coming artists rather than established acts, and while Bamboozle 2012 was a great time in a gorgeous setting, its lineup did not cohere.
The Bamboozle won't be back in 2013. D'Esposito has responded to the opportunity by resurrecting Skate and Surf, another Asbury Park festival that was absorbed into Bamboozle in the mid-'00s. There won't be any surfing in Freehold, but D'Esposito chose to keep the name anyway as a gesture of continuity with the festival's origins. He's attracted many 'boozle veterans to his bills, and he's also brought along the Break Contest, a talent competition for unsigned bands that has long been one of the highlights of the Festival.

Amazing eh? I got this out of a helicopter while flying out to Earnslaw Burn on a reconnaissance mission. Maybe once a week or so the lake gets this smooth. I've never seen it this smooth from the air, though, so I had the chopper pilot make a 360 so I could get this shot. I got a little dizzy, but it was worth it!

Hong Kong protesters have 'Beijing's tentacles' in sight
A few weeks ago, the Chinese government issued a white paper on Hong Kong, the former British colonial territory that was handed back to Beijing in 1997.
The document didn't contain anything new. Instead it reiterated core principles behind the city's "one country, two systems" government. Under the terms of the handover, Hong Kong is supposed to retain a high degree of autonomy from mainland China, except in the areas of defence and foreign policy.
What was unusual however was the fact that China felt the need to release the first ever formal paper on the subject. It was also translated into seven languages just to make sure everyone else gets the message.
The message? Well it is pretty simple. As a unitary state, China is in charge – it's the boss – and it has comprehensive jurisdiction of administrative regions like Hong Kong. The city's autonomy is entirely at the discretion of the folks in Beijing.
Here it is in bureaucrat-speak: "The high degree of autonomy of (Hong Kong) is not an inherent power, but one that comes solely from the authorisation by the central leadership."
Why then did the Chinese feel the need to say it – and say it now? Well that's where it gets interesting. Increasingly, the people of Hong Kong are unhappy and they want Beijing to do two things for them.
First, they want the city's autonomy respected in the face of mounting evidence to the contrary. It is now widely believed that mainland officials actively shape government policy and lean on Hong Kong's media when they have the audacity to criticise. Beijing's tentacles are stretching, say critics, from the streets to the boardrooms – and even to the churches. Today, news agency Reuters reported that Catholic priests are being monitored by China's security service.
Secondly city residents want to hold an open, democratic election for the territory's next leader. Since 1997, the "chief executive" has been selected by a committee of Beijing-approved worthies. China has promised that in 2017 the next leader will be elected by "universal suffrage." However, the Chinese government insists on picking the people allowed to stand for that election, so it's not really democratic at all.
Unsurprisingly, the authors of the white paper sees it differently. They are sincere about Hong Kong's democratic development, but insist but it must be done in a way that serves the country's interests in stability and security: "The chief executive to be elected by universal suffrage must be a person who loves the country and Hong Kong."
To western ears, that's a pretty confusing sentence. For Hong Kong residents, it's a pretty maddening one – and speaking of which, half a million or more people are expected to spill out on to the streets today in a mass retort to that "controversial white paper". The protesters are hoping their Beijing-based masters get the "message" and leave them alone.

Police and prosecutors turned out in force Tuesday in a Mobile courtroom in hopes of assuring themselves and the public that the alleged criminal career of two brothers has come to an end.
"Robbery, robbery, robbery," was the mantra of an obviously angry and frustrated Mobile County District Attorney John Tyson Jr. as he urged a judge to set bail of $10 million each for Anthomas and Brandon Carr.
The brothers and a third man alleged to have been the getaway driver and scout for ripe robbery spots, Antonio Brown, 21, were in Presiding District Judge Charles McKnight's court Tuesday following a Sunday night holdup of the CVS Pharmacy at Florida and Dauphin streets.
McKnight ultimately denied bond for each of the defendants.
Brown's alleged role, Tyson told the judge, was to "go into the store and in effect case the joint on how to do the job."
All three were arrested within minutes of the 10 p.m. robbery, with money and a handgun strewn along the brothers' escape route, according to police.
What prompted at least nine Mobile police officers and brass to line up in a tight arc on one side of the McKnight's courtroom and Tyson's appearance was what Tyson characterized as the Carrs' "inability to restrain" themselves.
With about 10 arrests between them, nearly half on robbery charges, they had managed to walk free from jail on what Tyson described as high bail amounts in the hundreds of thousands and were out on bail during Sunday's robbery.
According to information given to Tyson, the brothers have access to bank accounts in Texas, Georgia and South Carolina. He said that this could explain their ability to have bailed themselves out. It also presents an obvious flight risk, he said.
In Tuesday's proceeding, Anthomas Carr, 26, scowled dismissively as the collection of cursory evidence was submitted against him. Brandon Carr, 22, was subdued.
But the older brother's jaw literally dropped when he heard Tyson ask for $10 million in bail. Later, when McKnight announced that he believed the Carr brothers presented a "danger to society" and he was denying any bail at all, Anthomas Carr again visibly reacted, ducking and shaking his head in apparent disbelief.
Brown, represented by attorney Robert "Cowboy Bob" Clark, followed the brothers' appearance in court. Though McKnight also set no bail for him, he indicated that without any discernibly serious arrest record, some kind of bail would likely be considered in future court appearances.
When Tyson's side finished offering its reasoning for high bonds, defense attorney Jeff Deen, representing both Carr brothers, called the large law enforcement turnout "great theater," but countered that there was "not one ounce of truth" to their case.
When he proceeded to question Mobile police Lt. Glenn Garside, Deen was told that the brothers were caught on a CVS surveillance tape and within minutes had been captured following a "foot race" as they cowered in a convenience store restroom and storeroom on Old Shell Road.
Brown, Garside said, was in the alleged getaway car as he tried to make his way out of the pharmacy's parking lot.
According to earlier news accounts, police were able to respond so quickly because a passerby saw the robbery in progress and alerted authorities.
Outside court, Tyson said he had asked for impossibly high bail because the brothers apparently "had no problem whatsoever" getting out of jail Brandon Carr once on a $250,000 bail.
According to online court records, both brothers were out on bail at the time of Sunday's robbery:
Brandon Carr on a first-degree robbery charge from last year was released by Circuit Judge John Lockett on $250,000 bail.
Anthomas Carr on a charge of illegal possession of a firearm was released by McKnight on $100,000 bail.
Brandon Carr is scheduled for trial on that robbery case in August, court records indicate.
The court records do not reflect a trial date having been set for Anthomas Carr on the illegal firearm charge. That arrest was Feb. 28.
"This community has had enough of robbery," Tyson said.
He said the public demands the right to grab a cup of coffee or participate in any other activity without fear of being threatened with guns and being robbed.

PRINCETON— Princeton HealthCare System on Monday closed the sale of its former hospital campus, comprised of the hospital building on the 200 block of Witherspoon Street, a parking garage and nine houses on Harris Road, hospital officials said.
The deal also included two medical office buildings on the same block of Witherspoon Street, hospital spokesman Andy Williams said.
The hospital campus was sold to Avalon Princeton, which plans to turn the former hospital site into a housing complex with two apartment buildings and three buildings of four townhouse units each.
The apartment buildings would include 56 affordable housing units, with half allocated for moderate income families, 37 percent for low-income and 13 percent for very low income families.
Two medical office buildings were sold to Herring Properties, a separate developer which will renovate and continue to use the building as a mix of medical, professional and retail space, Herring spokesman Ted Deutsch said. It is too soon to disclose the possible tenants, he said.
"We're setting out to refurbish the space and use the same footprint, using the existing structure and doing major facelift improvements," Deutsch said.
PHCS will continue to maintain its outpatient phlebotomy services and Neighborhood Information Center in the building at 281 Witherspoon Street, Williams said.
The sale comes a week after a Superior Court judge rejected arguments that AvalonBay had not addressed concerns about dust levels, asbestos and medical waste disposal.
Township residents concerned about the environmental impacts of demolishing the former hospital to make way for the housing units went before Jacobson Feb. 12 to present their case after she dismissed a separate claim by them in December.

New innkeeper brings tasty ideas
Something smells good on First Street.
The scents of saffron, rosemary and garlic are wafting into Langley courtesy Jeff O'Brien.
O'Brien, who was hired as chef and innkeeper at the Inn at Langley in January, has been cooking up a storm since his arrival.
"I live, breathe, sleep and eat food," said O'Brien. "I love food."
O'Brien's passion for food is visible from his resume. He oversaw the menu creation and culinary programs for Zephyr Cove Resort, Alpine Meadows, Kalaloch Lodge, and the Lake Quinault Lodge. Some of O'Brien's larger venues included the Oregon Convention Center, the Reno Sparks Convention Center and most recently the Washington State Convention and Trade Center.
A manager for Columbia Hospitality Inc., the company that manages the Inn at Langley for owners Paul and Pam Schell, called O'Brien immediately after learning innkeepers Steve and Sandy Nogal were moving to Montana.
"And the rest is history," O'Brien said with a smile.
O'Brien said he and his wife, Cynthia, will move to Langley from Bainbridge Island, where they were both commuting to Seattle daily.
One of the first changes O'Brien made upon arriving at the inn was adding a sixth course to the already generous menu in the inn's dining room. Called the "Amuse Bouche," or appetizer, the course is intended to give dinner guests "a small taste of what's to come," O'Brien said.
On January's menu, the "Amuse Bouche" offered a sampling of free range Muscovy duck wrapped in hazelnut-crusted phyllo dough with shaved black truffle and lebanese pomegranate molasses and duck jus. There's a bouche, rather a mouth, full.
The "Amuse Bouche" will change with every meal, O'Brien said, while the menu will change every month.
"My repertoire is pretty generous," he said, "So I'm really going vastly different."
One thing that won't be taken off the menu are the mussels.
"I want everyone to experience Penn Cove mussels; they're the best," O'Brien said.
O'Brien said after spending 13 years at large venues he is ready to make the transition to the inn, which has 24 rooms and two cottages. The dining room seats 32.
O'Brien said he is more than happy to downsize at the inn. The fast pace of overseeing full-size meals for 5,000 people, breakfast, lunch and dinner, was exhausting.
"I was living on airplanes and I hated it," O'Brien said.
A second person will be hired to work with O'Brien on a management level sometime in the future. Currently O'Brien oversees all administration, staff and subcontractors who maintain the property.
Overnight guests at the inn are not the only people invited to dine. O'Brien encourages island residents to give the food a try.
O'Brien said he made the right decision when he took the position at the Inn at Langley.
"I came for the inn, but I think it's the people that will keep me here."

Hi Primal Pals,
New to this, I am on day 8. First, let me say that my primary reason for going Primal is that next week I go back to work as a daytime bartender. I do not plan on eating or drinking at my new place of business, but, hey, a girl's gotta earn! I am a bit of an old lady, I will be 48 in less that 10 days. I have 4 children, 3 daughters out of the nest and one little sweet almost four year old at home with me.
Starting point is 160 pounds, with a 32 in waist. I am a chronic cardio abuser, spending 40+ min. 4 times a week on an elliptical trainer. In one month, I am letting my gym membership lapse, in favor of getting outdoors and spending times with my boy, and spending the money on said membership elsewhere (new clothes?).
Today, I put on my jeans for the first time in four months. They are tight, really tight and I feel ridiculously puffy. I've been doing my best to eat primally, but find that I am having a difficult time balancing fat, protein and carbs. I am tracking everything that goes into my mouth via Spark People. The Sparks never fail to remind me that I need more carbs. A LOT more carbs according to CW. I have had to increase slightly to achieve 50, and have battled the dreaded carb flu for a few days.
I find that planning and tracking is helping me to stay on the straight and narrow, and I am enjoying an energy boost.
I see incredible potential in living my life in this new way. First step for me is to walk the walk and make an example of Primal Goodness. After, I would like to find a way to bring this wisdom to my community and make available better food options and a different way to look at fitness. But first...got to take my baby steps...

FLINT, Michigan — Police officials have confirmed 55-year-old Kevin Berger died today following a double shooting Tuesday night on Keller Avenue near Welch Boulevard, making Berger the first homicide of 2012.
Flint Police Lt. Marcus Mahan said Berger died from wounds he sustained around 10:15 p.m. when officers were called to the scene for a home invasion.
A suspect is believed to have entered the home and demanded money from Berger and 25-year-old Darius McGee before shooting both men multiple times. Two other people were inside the home at the time, but they were not injured.
McGee is listed in critical condition at Hurley Medical Center. Police have identified a potential 17-year-old man as a suspect.

Land fee proposal moves forward in Island County
Island County commissioners took a step toward approving a new fee on county property that would fund two conservation districts.
The three commissioners unanimously approved a motion to instruct the county prosecutor to draft the necessary ordinance to implement the special assessment of $5 per parcel plus 5 cents per acre. But the ultimate passage of the ordinance may not be a slam dunk.
All three commissioners said it was clear that the Whidbey Island Conservation Districts and the Snomohish Conservation District — which serves Camano Island — provide both general and specific benefits to property owners. Commissioner John Dean read a speech explaining his support for the special assessment.
"The overall protection of Whidbey or Camano Island drinking water supplies, or the reduction of pollution from hobby farm waste is a clear benefit, far exceeding what will be a cost, for most people, of pennies a day. I benefit when my neighbor, through the efforts of the Conservation District, avoids fouling my water supply," he said.
Nevertheless, there are still some knotty issues that need to be hammered out.
As part of the motion, the commissioners required the conservation districts to refund any fees if the courts invalidate the ordinance down the road. The state Court of Appeals is currently considering a somewhat-related case involving a special assessment for the Mason County Conservation District.
In addition, Island County Assessor Dave Mattens has laid out a list of concerns he has about the implementation of the special assessment. He said his bare-bones staff may not have time to create an assessment roll. Also, the county doesn't have accurate acreage figures for all parcels in the county.
Mattens is meeting with officials from the conservation districts this week to discuss his concerns.
On Monday, Commissioner Angie Homola brought up her worries about whether farm plans, which the conservation districts help farmers create, will protect sensitive areas in the county.
"I want to ensure some level of scrutiny in how the critical areas ordinance is addressed in farm plans," she said.
The Whidbey Island Conservation District and the Snohomish Conservation District proposed the yearly assessment of $5 per parcel of land, plus an additional 5 cents per acre. It would be charged to all parcels in the unincorporated county and within Oak Harbor, Langley and Coupeville, except those not subject to property tax or land zoned "rural forest" under the county's zoning code.
If the commissioners approve the assessment, it would bring in an estimated $240,000 next year to fund operations of the two districts.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy Can Help with DepressionMay 23, 2012 • By A GoodTherapy.org News Summary
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) has become an accepted and popular form of treatment for clinical depression. The goal of mindfulness is to increase a client's ability to accept his or her feelings nonjudgmentally and involves the use of techniques such as breathing exercises and meditation. Data on MBCT shows that this approach is highly effective at reducing the deleterious symptoms of depression in people who have experienced previous episodes. Specifically, MBCT has been shown to help people decrease their worry, rumination, and negative affect. This therapeutic approach entails 8 weeks of sessions in which clients use focus, attention, and skill building in order to develop the tools to continue MBCT on their own. Current research on MBCT demonstrates efficacy for people in remission from depression, but little research supports its viability for those currently experiencing depression, as their cognitive resources may be impaired, thus preventing them from being able to fully benefit from the treatment.
Because the success rate of MBCT is so promising for clients in remission, exploring the efficacy of this treatment for those currently experiencing depressive symptoms could perhaps provide an opportunity to improve the mental health and overall quality of life of many individuals. Therefore, J.R. van Aalderen of the Department of Psychiatry at Radboud University at the Nijmegen Medical Center in the Netherlands chose to measure the effectiveness of MBCT in people currently in and out of remission for a recent study.
Van Aalderen enrolled 102 participants in an MBCT plus treatment as usual (TAU) condition and 103 participants in a TAU condition. The participants comprised individuals with three previous episodes of depression who were either in or out of remission. The results revealed that the presence of current depressive symptoms did not significantly reduce the effectiveness of MBCT. More specifically, all of the participants in the MBCT condition realized reductions in symptoms of depression, rumination, and worry compared to the TAU group. In addition, those in the MCBT group had lower rates of relapse than those in the control group. Another caveat of this research was the finding that the skills developed during the MBCT, such as acceptance, were equally as robust in those with and without current depressive symptoms, providing evidence that MBCT may be an effective approach for most individuals with a history of depression, regardless of their current psychological state. Van Aalderen added, "The greatest merit of this study is that it shows that MBCT is also efficacious in recurrent depressive patients with a current depressive episode."
Van Aalderen, J.R., Donders, A.R.T., Giommi, F., Spinhoven, P., Barendregt, H. P. (2012). The efficacy of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in recurrent depressed patients with and without a current depressive episode: A randomized controlled trial. Psychological Medicine, 42.5, 989-1001.

it's all about teaching those who are struggling how to cope with their problems and develop new ways to deal with the stress and anxiety that they could be feeling- if you give someone a whole new way to look at life then maybe you can help them avoid so much of the depression that they have been feeling for a long time
RileyMay 23rd, 2012 at 3:43 PM
Is MBCT generally employed along with the use of medication as well or would this be used only as a stand alone treatment?
larryMay 24th, 2012 at 12:42 AM
I have the same question as Riley.if it is used as stand alone the that's great because we are eliminating the use of drugs and accomplishing it only with the use of techniques like meditation which are not only helpful here but are beneficial in general too.
ToniMay 24th, 2012 at 12:22 PM
can really see how this could make a huge difference to someone especially if they have had a gard time communicating with others about the pain they are feeling- just can't ever discount the power of a friend to listen and a shoulder to cry on
Sandra DMay 25th, 2012 at 8:48 AM
This is more of a question then a comment. I was being treated for depression in an out patient setting of a hospital. Which, I placed my self so I could be watched for a period of time while starting to take antidepresents. I had a sister who from my memory started to take meds and soon after committed suicide.
While in this program, I encountered a new LSCW that I feel pushed me by asking me 5 times why I was not doing the meditation. I was upset because of a legal document, I received the night before. I had asked a staff member to fax it for me to my lawyer. When this person returned to to me I was just starting with LCSW group to do a meditation exerice.
When I tried to close my eyes, I felt I couldn't control my tears and was trying so hard to be considerate to the others in group trying to relax. Beacause the day before in this same persons group. I cried very hard because of a question she just happen to ask me " Who is the most loving person in your family"? I began to sob because there really isn't anyone and my only family member my mother was just very critical the night before, which I was trying to process during this day. Because I was upset Wednesday and then again Thursday because of the legal document. I was felt that this LCSW really pushed me and created a pretty big distraction for the others in group. Each relaxition excerise she would read, she would ask me why my eyes were not closed. I each time explained in as quite a voice and with as many gestures as to not bother the others. After-all this was a relaxation exercise. I explained that I was trying and when I close my eyes I would have racing thoughts and begin to cry. I gestured that I was watching the grass out the window and was doing the best I could.
After the fifth time of being asked and mind you I had already once excused myself and went outside and was joined by another patient in group who try to soothe me and then I we went back.
I in short felt that this brandnew therpist who had not even graduated from her program, it was the following week pushed me so hard because she was insecure as to why 2 days in a row I was not doing well in her groups. The reasons had not one thing to do with her abilities or lack of. It was just other reasons. I felt that she was going to push me because of her mistaken understanding of my feelings and innocent intentions toward her. I strongly felt that she was taking my lack of percieved cooperation, very personally.
This was confirmed to me when another staff member listened to my feelings and responded with " oh so this wasn't personal"? I then had my strong ideas as to why I was pushed so agressively confirmed.
I days later was approached by my LCSW in charge of my care, and asked if I could contract to not talk about this women anymore to others. Each day when she would come to work and enetred her office outside the cafeteria, she would look at me and I felt she assummed she was the topic of conversation.
I said that yes once the day before I spoke of her but that only. So now my really strong feelings that I had already about this young womens instincts being not good for me, have been supper confirmed.
My issue is I did not feel that this LCSW could seperate some really odd feelings about me. I did not want to further subject my self to her poor jugement and bad instincts any longer, after-all, she could have just asked me if I disliked her or whatever, she felt.But instead she became agressive and because I did want to be subjected to her anymore, they said I had to or leave the program. I was very clearwith the managing LCSW and said that I'm not implusive and would not be able to let them know by 2:00 that same day. I wanted to make a well thought out un-emotional decession. But a hour later I was approached by my LCSW and told that I had already made up my mind and I had to leave the program.
Does a patient have the right not to want to be with a particular LCSW, with what I believe are very good reasons?
So sorry that I wrote so much, I wanted to try to give you my strong perceptions about this person, that were later confirmed.
Thank you so much,
Sandra Diaz
Padraig O'MorainMay 28th, 2012 at 11:58 PM
Sounds like an upsetting and frustrating experience, Sandra. I always do my mindfulness practice with my eyes open by the way! Padraig
anonNovember 29th, 2013 at 9:01 PM
The author of this article states that, "little research supports its [MBCT] viability for those currently experiencing depression". However, the study this author referenced does actually support its effectiveness. Here is a quote from the studies abstract:
"The study findings suggest that MBCT is as effective for patients with recurrent depression who are currently depressed as for patients who are in remission. Directions towards a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of MBCT are given, although future research is needed to support these hypotheses" (Aalderen, 2012).
So not all hope is lost!

Marketing Walking the Walk
Heres my simple theory why so many companies fail at marketing over and over again regardless of the money they spend or do not spend:
Real marketing is highly invasive, and most companies dont have the guts to take a really good look under the covers as a first step. Can you handle the truth? Really?
Its about doing the tough things it takes to generate more new business and profits things that touch not only the what, how, when and where of promotional and ad stuff but also your products and services themselves, including what they are and how they are packaged, priced and sold. In other words, most of your business. A lot of biz folks are pretty smooth at talking the talk, but very few are willing to walk the walk.
Are you? Willing to walk the walk?
Lets see. Are you willing to pay me $25,000 upfront as an initial ante to revamp or toss out your lousy marketing stuff? Get some things moving in the right direction that will make your business a lot more money? Instead of just talk the talk?
Heres the deal. Youll get approximately one month of work (about 160 hours). Not just strategy, which is important, but new messaging and a few concrete things to get chopping on. I can continue to help implement at that point (and likely with other experts I suggest that you would approve) on a retainer basis. And we take it from there. Or I exit stage left if you want. Regardless, it will be the best $25K youve ever spent.
Why me -- and Why You?
I dont think in anyones box. Over two decades of marketing experience and 35 years of business experience, Ive realized there is no box. Its imaginary. Well cut through the corporate politics and yak in a hurry and do it my way, not your way. Your way hasn´t worked. I dont care if Im being politically correct or not. I dont care if you like me or not. I care about getting you going on a marketing program that works for you.
Can you handle the truth? Most cannot. They prefer the easy way. But maybe youre an exception.
If you need an hour in-person meeting to make up your mind, that will cost you $1000 in cash on arrival (and any expenses paid up front).
Call or text me, Tom Ranseen, at 615-473-1404. BTW, Im only taking 2 clients in 2015.
Ranseen Marketing has evolved. I provide highly exclusive, "no-box" marketing services to companies seriously interested in walking the marketing walk and gaining business. Call me for a one-hour initial consultation ($1000) to see if it is worth my time and yours to get serious about your marketing. The initial ante is a minimum of $25,000 for a month of work. Contact Tom Ranseen by phone or text at 615-473-1404.

ALLEN PARK - Nobody remembers hearing anything about the Curse of Bobby Layne, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist.
What else could explain 50 years of Detroit Lions futility? Bad coaching, poor players, and inept management are factors, sure. And so was the dominance of division rivals like the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. But 50 years? Five consecutive decades without a championship? There must be more to it than that - and perhaps there is. Or was.
Here's a quick look at some curses in the sports world, from the well-known to the slightly bizarre:
According to football legend, Layne -- the Lions' Hall of Fame quarterback - was angry about being traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1958 and put a curse on the Lions. Although no documentation was found to support it, Layne supposedly said the Lions "would not win for 50 years."
Interestingly, the Lions - from the guys who were teammates of Layne's to current head coach Rod Marinelli - had never heard of the curse until recently.
"I never encountered it myself," said Joe Schmidt, Detroit's Hall of Fame linebacker (1953-65) who played with Layne for five years. "Somebody brought this up to me before and I said 'What are you talking about?"'
"I was never aware of it," said Detroit guard John Gordy (1957, 1959-67).
"I was never aware of it," said Lions quarterback Greg Landry (1968-78). "I grew up in New Hampshire so I was knew about the Babe Ruth jinx with the Red Sox. I never knew the Lions had one."
"I've heard about a lot of curses with the Lions, but not that one," said quarterback Eric Hipple (1980-89). "I always heard they were cursed, but not what he specific curse was."
"I never heard of it," said Detroit linebacker Chris Spielman (1988-95).
"No, I've never heard of it," Marinelli said. "I think it's awesome. I love that kind of stuff."
Marinelli especially loves it now because the curse is over. The 50-year hex has finally run its course and the Lions are now unshackled and free to win the Super Bowl in 2008.
"I guess you've got to hang on to something," Spielman said.
There have been some dark clouds hanging over the Detroit organization for the last 50 years, but perhaps none darker than the day Layne was traded on Oct. 6, 1958 - two games into the Lions season.
The day after the deal was done, the Detroit Times reported: "Bobby Layne, since 1950 the heart and soul as well as the brains of the Lions, is gone."
Layne's teammates were in awe of him and his ability to win football games.
"I'm not that good at describing what he was, but he always got the job done," Schmidt said. "He didn't always look good and people criticized him, but he was a winner. The guys had confidence in him. I was a big fan of Bobby's and I always will be. He was one of the best quarterbacks in this league and he helped make the league what it is today."
"Bobby Layne never thought about losing. Bobby Layne just didn't think about losing - he wasn't going to lose. And he was good enough to back it up," Gordy said. "He could throw that football, gimme a break, but in terms of winning he was as mentally tough as anybody who's ever played football. He had fun."
Receiver Dorne Dibble (1951, 1953-57) was a longtime teammate of Layne's.
"He was the best leader there ever was," Dibble said. "He got the job done. General (George) Patton would have to take a backseat to him."
Layne, who had quarterbacked the Lions to four division championships and two world titles, got hurt late in the regular season in 1957 and Tobin Rote replaced him and helped quarterback Detroit to the NFL championship. During the following training camp, the Lions' braintrust believed the team was better off with Rote at quarterback and traded Layne to Pittsburgh for quarterback Earl Morrall and high draft picks in 1959 and '60.
The Lions players were extremely upset about the trade. The Detroit Free Press quoted Schmidt: "It makes me sick. I think it's a big mistake. He's still a damned good quarterback and when he goes to Pittsburgh, he'll show it."
If there was a curse, it hit the Lions immediately. The day after the trade, Rote pulled a hamstring at practice and couldn't play in the next game. Several other players came up lame, too, while others sulked.
"Did you ever see a team with Morrall and no morale?" an unidentified player was quoted in the Free Press. The last line of that story read: "Physically and psychologically, the Lions never have been in worse shape."
While Layne went to Pittsburgh and won his first game as a starter, the Lions were blown out in their next two games - 42-28 by Los Angeles and 40-14 by Baltimore - and finished with a 4-7-1 record. They went 3-8-1 the following season and, in the years since, the Lions have put together some good teams and great seasons, but never won a championship.
But, wait. How could the curse be over now if it never existed in the first place? According to several of Layne's teammates, just because there's no proof in newspaper accounts that Layne cursed the Lions, it doesn't mean he didn't do it.
"Oh, I believe it's possible and I think he did it. I just never thought about it before," Dibble said "I think he said it, yes. And if I had been treated the way he was, I would've said it, too."
"I wouldn't be surprised if he said it, but I'm sure he said it with half-malice and a half-joke," Schmidt said. "Just knowing him, he'd say something like that and laugh and go about his way. I don't know if Bobby believed in curses, but he was a gambler and maybe gamblers believe in curses."
"It wouldn't surprise me at all if he said it. That's not a derogatory comment at all, it's just Bobby," Gordy said. "Hey, 50 is a good round number, so why not?"
Detroit linebacker Mike Lucci (1965-73) never played with Layne , but did play against him and they formed a friendship.
"I was in Cleveland and he was in Pittsburgh," Lucci said. "I spent a lot of time around him and got to know him very well. (The curse) certainly wouldn't surprise me. It sounds like something he would say ... and, is it over yet?"
Lucci doesn't really believe in curses but says he could be convinced.
"I would really believe it if Shaun Rogers suddenly got down to 310 pounds," he said.
Schmidt said he doesn't believe in curses either, but adds "I'm glad it's over with. The one good thing about getting old is getting curses off my back."
Add Gordy to the list of guys who doesn't believe in curses. "No, no, not at all," he said. "But if anybody could put it on the Lions, Bobby could. If there is such a thing, Bobby could do it."
"We certainly heard we were cursed, but nobody ever said why," Hipple said. "I'm sure it was probably rooted in the Bobby Layne curse. Do I believe in it? Obviously, there's some proof to this one. I'd rather believe it now that it's over with.
"I'm glad it's over. They never should've traded him."

There has been some debate, perhaps not far and wide, but there has been debate about Elizabeth running back Elijah Hughes' status for Friday night's home game against Hunterdon Central.
The good news for Hughes and Elizabeth (1-0), No. 19 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, this isn't one of those instances.
To quote the NJSIAA football rules under unsportsmanlike penalties, "flagrant unsportsmanlike conduct will also carry the additional game(s) penalty."
Hughes, however, was not flagged for "flagrant" unsportsmanlike conduct. His first penalty was for excessive celebration after he scored a touchdown. His second penalty was for a bit of pushing and shoving that went on at the end of a play.
"A flagrant unsportsmanlike penalty that leads to an injection involves something more, typically a fight," said John Zorzi, the NJSIAA's football rules interpreter.
Elizabeth coach John Quinn never had a concern about Hughes' status for this week. "I confirmed it with the officials after the game that it was not a flagrant unsportsmanlike situation," he said. "They told me that Elijah's penalties would not lead to further action. It was a spirit of the rule thing. "
Elizabeth and No. 14 Hunterdon Central (1-0) will tee it up at 7 p.m. Friday at Williams Field in Elizabeth in what should be a great game.

A vision of justice
John Rawls, 1921-2002
Dec 18, 2002 by Robin Lovin
As liberal democracy spreads across more and more of the globe, the influence of John Rawls seems likely to spread. Rawls, who died on November 24 at age 82, wrote the 20th century's most complete philosophical defense of that form of government. He takes his place with political thinkers from Locke and Jefferson to Bentham and Mill who shaped the Anglo-American vision of liberalism. He also provides a framework for thinking about democracy and justice across a wide range of economic conditions and cultural traditions.

BOURNE – Just what a tourist-driven economy doesn't need: massive traffic backups that can make vacation-minded people downright ornery. That was the situation over the weekend on Cape Cod, where ongoing work on the Sagamore Bridge is causing lengthy delays during peak hours.
Anyone looking to use the Sagamore Bridge over the next couple of weeks, take notice: Repair work on the bridge spanning the Cape Cod Canal is scheduled to continue until May 24, a potential complicating factor for western Massachusetts residents planning pre-Memorial Day getaways.
With bridge traffic reduced to single lanes in both directions, long traffic delays were reported Sunday by motorists trying to leave the Cape. One Springfield-area driver said she waited on the Mid-Cape Highway for about an hour before crossing the bridge. Highway traffic slowed down considerably in Sandwich, then came to a standstill in the Sagamore section of Bourne, she said.
Some motorists managed to claw their way off the highway (Route 6) to reach Sandwich Road, which was mostly clear heading toward the Bourne Bridge. The congestion at that canal crossing early Sunday morning wasn't nearly as bad as the traffic situation at the Sagamore Bridge.
According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which oversees both Cape bridges, the around-the-clock lane closures on the Sagamore Bridge will remain in place for about another 10 days or so, with all lanes slated to reopen just days before the start of Memorial Day weekend. The closures are necessary to accommodate an $8.5 million repair project involving installation of new steel on the bridge.
"Motorists planning to use the Sagamore Bridge during this time frame should be aware that travel delays are likely to occur during the morning and afternoon peak travel periods each day," the Army Corps cautions on its website, noting that the overall project is slated for completion by the fall.
Delays for traffic headed off Cape lasted into Sunday evening, according to the Cape Cod Times, citing Sandwich and state police sources. At one point, traffic was backed up for seven miles from the Sagamore Bridge and for two miles from the Bourne Bridge, the Hyannis-based newspaper reported.
"It's basically gridlock," Sandwich Police Detective Robert Brun said.
Many drivers tried to escape the Route 6 traffic by taking routes 28, 6A or 130, which weren't much better, according to the Times.

Qualifying begins today and will continue through Friday for the Oct. 2 elections for the St. Tammany Parish School Board and municipal offices in Abita Springs, Folsom and Pearl River.
Candidates must sign up at the elections section of the St. Tammany Parish clerk of court's office, in the basement of the parish courthouse, 701 N. Columbia St., Covington. The office will be open for qualifying today through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Local offices on the Oct. 2 ballot include all 15 district seats on the parish School Board.
All current board members are expected to seek re-election, including interim members Judy Palmer, who represents Lacombe and parts of eastern Mandeville, and Roanne Tipton, who represents parts of Mandeville.
Each has served as fill-ins for less than seven months. Palmer took over the 7th District seat when her husband, Jody Palmer, died in December. Tipton replaced Donald Villere, who left his position as 6th District representative when he became mayor of Mandeville in April.
Also on the ballot are mayor and five at-large seats on the Board of Aldermen in Abita Springs; mayor and three at-large seats on the Board of Aldermen in Folsom; and mayor, police chief and five at-large seats on the Board of Aldermen in Pearl River.

This game occurred in East Germany in 1972 when Vlatismil Hort was definitely a world class player. In this game, his opponent chooses a contentious line in the Panov Attack that involves a Pawn sacrifice. Henning played 21...g5?! offering a Pawn that leads to a piece fork.
Hort took the bait and let him have the piece and got an overwhelming advantage.
The trap wasn't a trap, and is better regarded as an enterprising piece sacrifice.
Meanwhile, this game gives useful insight into how both sides should handle this line in the Caro-Kann.
Positions in this game from move 22 on are great opportunities to practice technique with a big advantage. Hort found his path, see if you can find yours!

In case you didn't know: The 2010 season officially started today in Brisbane. We'll be keeping track of the scores. In the next week, you'll find an Australian Open preview, some semi-bold predictions and maybe a weather report from The Spin of the Ball HQ in Portland, Oregon.
Now that blogs are passe, we're getting around to starting one. So while the rest of the world tweets and Tumblrs, we'll be covering professional tennis the old-fashioned way. Here at The Spin of the Ball you'll find thoughtful opinions, history lessons, video and our very own week-by-week coverage of the tour, along with the best aggregation of tennis news from around the world.
Also, we'll put an end to that hoary debate about who's the greatest player ever in the Open Era (and who's the most overrated).
One guy who'd certainly be a front-runner for best-ever status in the amatuer era is interwar tennis god Bill Tilden, so we offer up a picture of Big Bill. The name of this blog is stolen from Tilden's 1925 classic "Match Play and the Spin of the Ball," still one of the very best books about playing the game and introduced to me by a friend who has been known to thump me out on the court.

Cole Haan LunarGrand Wingtip
They don't look quite like typical wing tips, but if it weren't for their colorful outsoles, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. Unless, of course, you're wearing them. Designed to tackle the tough streets of NYC, the Cole Haan LunarGrand Wingtip ($250) weds Nike's ultra-lightweight Lunarlon cushioning system to a classic Cole Haan last with leather welt details and premium suede uppers to create a dress show for those who consider jeans, a button down, and a jacket to be way dressy. Other features include a wider forefoot, slimmer rounded toe, partial lining, and a micro-diamond tread texture on the bottom for maximum traction.

Related Searches from WaterInfoLink.com Filtration System | Iron | AdEdge Technologies | Manganese | Michigan Department of Environmental Quality
In February 2008, AdEdge Technologies, Inc. was selected as the sole vendor by Sun Communities, a nationwide owner and operator of mobile home communities, to supply an iron and manganese treatment system for the Meadow Lake mobile home community in White Lake, Mich. The Meadow Lake treatment system is the third packaged treatment system Sun Communities has purchased from AdEdge. The site consists of two wells that serve potable water to 430 connections and a population of 1,063.
Several options were considered based on the need to remove iron from 0.90 parts per million to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. An AdEdge AD26 oxidation/filtration system was selected as the best overall approach to simultaneously remove the iron and manganese from the community water supply. The packaged AD26 system utilizes an NSF 61-certified manganese dioxide media (AD26) that is excellent for co-contaminant removal. The technology was selected based on overall cost, the small footprint and simplicity of operation. Following award, all appropriate permitting documents were prepared and submitted to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) for approval with the permit being granted in April 2008. The raw water quality of the combined wells is shown in Table 1.
Treatment System
The AdEdge AD26 arsenic treatment train consists of a completely integrated packaged treatment system with six vessels (two triplexes) in parallel to treat up to 750 gal per minute (gpm). A design filtration rate of 9 gpm/sq ft is nearly three times higher than conventional greensand filtration, offering high-efficiency removal with smaller vessels and lower cost. The AD26 automated system equipped with a PLC, automated butterfly valves and control panel is integrated with chlorine addition and monitoring for process control and disinfection purposes. The system is pre-engineered, pre-piped and skid mounted for ease of installation and operation. A continuous free chlorine monitor on the system allows the operator to maintain desired disinfection residual in the distribution system. The AD26 technology has been deployed successfully by AdEdge on many high iron and manganese wells to date and also on three full-scale EPA arsenic demonstration projects.
Installation was completed and the system was officially started up in 2008. The system processes 150,000 to 200,000 gal per day. Since operations began, the system has consistently removed iron and manganese to non-detect levels. Monitoring and periodic sampling of the system is performed by the site's certified operator in accordance with the MDEQ permit.

KINGSFORD - Brandon Robinette scored 13 of his game-high 21 points in the first quarter, and Escanaba never looked back, dropping Kingsford 67-48 in the Great Northern Conference opener for both squads.
"He's obviously a special player," Flivvers coach Dan Olkkonen said. "Not everybody puts up 34 against Negaunee. Our goal was to hold him to 18. Well, he had 17 at the half."
Robinette ignited the Eskymos to a 13-point first-quarter lead. The game was as good as decided by halftime, with Escanaba (1-1, 1-0) up 16 at the break. A 6-0 spurt early in the third helped pushed the advantage to 20 points.

Escanaba's Ben?Kleiman (12) and Lucas Rochemont (30) pressure Kingsford's Lucas Jennings during a Great Northern?Conference game, Friday night at Kingsford.
"Robinette is one of our senior leaders, and he got us off to a great start," Escanaba coach Tracy Hudson said. "This was big for us, first game on the road in the GNC."
Escanaba's pressure and up-tempo transition game was too much for the Flivvers to handle. The Eskymos also owned the glass, especially on the offensive side. Escanaba out-rebound Kingsford 34-20 in the game.
"That's where he (Robinette) really hurt us, as an offensive rebounder," Olkkonen said. "We were really upset with ourselves on the defensive glass."

Three Eskymos scored in double figures. Samuel Molnar dropped 11 and Jordan Ogren scored 10. Tyler Skufca canned three triples for nine points. The Eskymos shared the wealth too, racking up 17 assists and seeing eight players hit the scoresheet.
Dan Harrington's 14 points led Kingsford. Jack Glodowski added 13 points, but the Flivvers shot 25 percent for the game, and were just 5-of-26 from 3-point range.
"Being down 18-5 after the first really put the pressure on ourselves," Olkkonen said. "A team like that can throw up points quick. I was hoping we'd come out and shoot a little better."
Escanaba's first-quarter push provided more than enough cushion. Kingsford played a much better second quarter, even threatening to cut the lead to under 10 on a couple of occasions, but the Eskymos scored eight of the final 11 points of the half.
"We're an experienced team playing against a less experienced team in Kingsford," Hudson said. "Coach Olkkonen, give him a while with these guys. They were playing against team that has been playing together for the past two years. I thought Kingsford played extremely hard. It was just one of those things. Our press was able to get us some easy baskets."
Escanaba's biggest lead came at 67-41 after a putback by Bailey Lamb early in the fourth quarter. Esky's starters sat most of the final frame.
Kingsford slipped to 0-2 (0-1).
"We're going to get better," Olkkonen said. "The biggest thing is defensively we have to step it up."
Escanaba won the frosh game 45-31. Kingsford, with Nick Smith scoring 15, took the jayvee contest 50-45.

Incumbents stay in commish race
Both incumbent Kitsap County commissioners up for won re-election this week South Kitsaps Jan Angel and North Kitsaps Chris Endresen won their challenges in Tuesday nights general election.
Endresen defeated Kingston businessman Scott Henden by margin of 41,334 votes (52.47 percent) to 37,509 (47.53 percent). Angel prevailed over her predecessor on the board of commissioners, Charlotte Garrido, 41,334 (53.04 percent) to 36,653 (46.80 percent).
The numbers were current as of Thursday morning but were not expected to change significantly, according to director of elections Dolores Gilmore.
Democrat Endresen, the senior commissioner, earned a third term while Republican Angel begins her second term.
Central Kitsap Commissioner Patty Lent, a Republican, was first elected in 2002 and will face voters again in two years.
In a time where the makeup of the board usually changes every two years, the continuity resulting from four years of with no changes is rare. This, according to County Administrator Malcolm Fleming, is a good thing.
It takes quite a while for people to learn the issues and all the players, he said. Right now, all of the commissioners are up to speed. We dont have to spend any time in a learning process. Whenever you get someone new, it can take a while for the other board members to learn about how they approach things.
This is seconded by local consultant William Campbell, himself a former director of the Department of Community Development. With the exception of Chris Endresen, I felt that the commissioners have been struggling to get a grasp of how things work, he said. Now we can look forward to a time when all three commissioners have their feet on the ground. Theyre running one of the bigger businesses in the county, and have given us a better-managed county courthouse.
The tone of the two races differed, with the North Kitsap contest more heated. By contrast, the Angel/Garrido contest lacked
