Steep rise in court fees confirmed
Topics: Courts business,Government & politics
The Ministry of Justice today announced a fresh round of court fee increases to plug a £1bn funding gap in the justice system. The Law Society condemned the move.
In a written statement, justice minister Shailesh Vara (pictured) said fees will rise by 10% across a range of civil proceedings, including enforcement proceedings, determination of costs proceedings and civil business in magistrates' courts. The decision follows a consultation over the summer.
Fees will also be introduced for the first time in the general regulatory chamber and tax chamber of the first-tier tribunal, and in the upper tribunal tax and Chancery chamber.
Litigants will be charged £100 to issue proceedings in the property chamber and £200 for a hearing.
But the government gave ground over its proposal to increase the fee cap to £20,000. The maximum fee cap for money claims will remain at the £10,000 figure introduced in March this year.
Courts and tribunals in England and Wales cost £1.7bn in 2014/15, but the government recovered only £700m in income, Vara said.
He added: 'Fees are never popular, but they are necessary if we are to reduce the burden of the courts and tribunals on the taxpayer.
'We have sought to protect the vulnerable at every stage. We have listened very carefully to concerns raised during the consultation and modified our proposals accordingly.'
Law Society president Jonathan Smithers said: 'The court service must not be treated as a profit centre, used to subsidise other public services. It is wrong to push through increases in court fees on top of those introduced in March 2015 when there has been no assessment of their effect.
'High court fees contribute to the development of a two tier justice system, they discourage people from bringing legitimate cases and make it harder for some people to get access to justice. Further increases will disproportionately affect people on lower incomes and some disabled people.'
However the Society welcomed the decision to keep the maximum fee cap at £10,000 in money claims.

I know this is going to be as welcome as a lead balloon at a children's tea party but is it not a fact that the administration of justice has to be funded? The money has to come from somewhere.
I have not seen any comments on the charge paid for a "paralegal" who in many cases is nothing more than a telephonist. If it costs £180 per hour for an assistant solicitor what does it cost to run a court?
£200 for a hearing is only £20 more than an assistant solicitor charges for one hour's so called work.
Get real.

Of course the administration of justice has to be funded. No one is doubting that, but why should it not be funded by the tax payer given that it is an essential part of any functioning democracy?
Not all public services can be self-funding, or do you expect to pay a fee to the police when you want them to come an investigate the theft of your car or the burglary of your house?
This is driven by ideological zeal, nothing more, nothing less.

I do not suppose that this part of your comment would be viewed as wrong by anyone in principle. However being someone who uses the Courts regularly in different degrees, I would have to say that the quality and service provision being offered up to us now, despite them TAKING MORE MONEY from the people, has dropped to an all time embarrassing low. So I feel I have good reason to question the true validity and reasons for why they keep on upping the fees/charges etc. Because it certainly has not gone towards the supplying to us of a more efficient and value for money service.

A shirt being sold for St. Patrick's Day at local Wal-Mart stores, which some find offensive.
Published on February 22, 2016
Tara Bradbury/The Telegram
A pile of "Newfie beer removal" T-shirts was selling at the Stavanger Drive WalMart location for $10 on Sunday, days after Wal-Mart said it was not selling the shirt at all.
Published on February 22, 2016
Screenshot of a Twitter conversation about the T-shirts.
Gag shirt offensive to some
Some Irish eyes are glaring, not smiling, at WalMart for selling a St. Patrick's Day T-shirt they feel is derogatory and offensive.
"St. Paddy's Newfie Beer Removal Service — pints, pitchers, kegs" is printed in white lettering on the green T-shirt along with an image of a beer stein. The shirts bear tags from a company called Rock Gear.
Great Big Sea band member and local restauranteur Bob Hallett noticed the shirts at the Mount Pearl WalMart a little over a week ago, and posted a photo on Twitter with the caption, "Really, WalMart? We've got to get past this shit."
"While lots of Newfoundlanders are comfortable with the term Newfie, there are just as many who are not, and I count myself in that number," Hallett told The Telegram. "Like so many other racial slurs, context is everything — if the group in question wishes to use it themselves, that is one thing. For a worldwide corporation to put it on T-shirt is quite another."
While some Twitter users disagreed and claimed those with a problem with the shirts were being oversensitive and too politically correct, the majority of responses were from people who shared Hallett's point of view and called the shirt derogatory.
"This is extremely offensive and not acceptable," tweeted Joanie Perry Sears, tagging WalMart Canada directly.
WalMart replied: "We have checked with our stores and can confirm we are not selling this shirt."
Three days later, piles of the shirts were still available at at least two St. John's WalMart locations. In an email, a WalMart Canada spokesman indicated Monday the organization would provide a statement in response to The Telegram's inquiries about the shirt, however no statement was given as of deadline.
The Telegram could find no information on Rock Gear t-shirts.
"WalMart is famously organized and detail oriented — someone saw that shirt and decided it was OK. It isn't," Hallett said.
"I have spent my career singing, writing and talking about the culture of Newfoundland, and while celebration is a big part of that culture, 'Newfie Beer Removal' is an idiotic way to describe it."

Theodor Sternberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theodor Hermann Sternberg (January 5, 1878, Berlin - April 18, 1950, Tokyo) was a German legal philosopher serving as a foreign advisor in Meiji period Japan, where he was an important contributor to the development of civil law in Japan.
Sternberg served as an instructor at Tokyo Imperial University from 1913 to 1918. He also lectured on occasion at Meiji University, and other major Japanese universities, speaking on civil law, criminal law and jurisprudence.
He later served as a consultant to the Ministry of Justice (Japan) (司法省 Shihōshō?) in 1918 and from 1922-1925, where he helped oversee the implementation of the Japanese legal codes.

UAB hosts Rice tonight at 8 p.m. CT. CBS Sports Network is televising the game.
UAB has a home win streak of 19 and a win here sets a school record for most consecutive home wins. UAB (15-3, 5-0 CUSA) has won 12 straight overall and a win ties the school record for consecutive wins.
Rice is 6-12, 1-4. Refresh this page for updates. Referees are Ron Groover, Mark Whitehead and Mick Fieldbinder.
FINAL UAB wins 82-70
13 straight wins for UAB, tying a school record. 20 straight home wins for UAB, setting a school record.
Robert Brown with 19, Nick Norton 16 and Chris Cokley 11.
More in postgame
* UAB 73, Rice 58 (4:11) - UAB controlling it defensively and on the glass. Home win streak about to be broken.
* UAB 61, Rice 52 (7:49) - Chris Cokley misses close shot, then rips rebound out of a guy's hand and scores. Then he gets his fourth foul.
* UAB 59, Rice 52 (9:28) - Couple of big UAB defensive plays lead to offense. Watts on the rebound to Lee to Cokley for the alley-oop and then Baxter with the steal and dunk.
* UAB 54, Rice 52 (11:23) - Rice took a 1-point lead at 14:25, but Rob Brown is taking over. Scored 7 points since last timeout and has 16 in the game. Cokley to the line.

Cities and the Soul
With cities, it is as with dreams: everything imaginable can be dreamed, but even the most unexpected dream is a rebus that conceals a desire or, its reverse, a fear. Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else. December 2012 marks the 40th anniversary of Invisible Cities -- the sublime metaphysical travelogue by author-journalist Italo Calvino. In a series of pensive dialogues with jaded emperor Kublai Khan, the explorer Marco Polo describes a meandering litany of visionary and impossible places, dozens of surreal, fantastical cities, each poetically reifying ideas vital to language, philosophy, and the human spirit. This gracefully written love letter to urban life has inspired countless tributes, but it's just the most accessible of Calvino's fascinating literary catalogue. Look inside for a closer look at his most remarkable works, links to English translations of his magical prose, and collections of artistic interpretations from around the web -- including this treasure trove of essays, excerpts, articles, and recommended reading.

"I felt like I'd been catapulted from one end of the universe to the other"
This weekend marks the time of the Hajj, a core pillar of Islam in which great tides of humanity venture to the ancient city of Mecca to honor God. Predating Mohammed's birth by centuries, the pilgrimage comprises several days of rites, from congregation like snow on Mount Arafat and the ritual stoning of Shaitan to the circling of the sacred Kaaba (the shrouded cubical monolith Muslims pray toward daily) and kissing the Black Stone (colored by the absorption of myriad sins, and believed by some to be a fallen meteorite). While the city has modernized to handle this largest of annual gatherings -- building highway-scale ramps, gaudy skyscrapers for the ultra-rich, and tent cities the size of Seattle -- it remains mysterious, as unbelievers are forbidden from entering its borders. Richard Francis Burton became famous for touring the city in disguise to write a rare travelogue, but contemporary viewers have a more immediate guide: Vice Magazine journalist Suroosh Alvi, who smuggled a minicam into the city to record The Mecca Diaries [alt], a 14-minute documentary of his own Hajj journey. Browse the manual to see what goes into a Hajj trip, or watch the YouTube livestream to see the Grand Mosque crowds in real time.
Bridge of Signs
Most people know that Venice has long been threatened by chronic flooding, but in recent years the Queen of the Adriatic has faced a rising tide of a different sort: advertising. From the Doge's Palace to St. Mark's Square to the bittersweet Bridge of Sighs -- named for the grief its splendid views once inspired in crossing death row prisoners -- immense billboards lit late into the night now mar the city's most treasured places. Allegedly built to cover the cost of restoration work in the face of government cutbacks, the ads have brought in around $600,000 per year since 2008 -- a fraction of the shortfall -- and show no sign of going away any time soon. Their presence prompted a consortium of the world's leading cultural experts led by the Venice in Peril Fund to air an open letter demanding the city government put a stop to the placards that "hit you in the eye and ruin your experience of one of the most beautiful creations of humankind." Mayor Giorgio Orsoni, for one, was not moved, saying last year "If people want to see the building they should go home and look at a picture of it in a book."

Employee Benefits and Executive Pay - Securities, Tax, and Corporate Governance
Professors Poerio and Borges
LL.M Course 751 (cross-listed) | 2 credit hours
This course provides a practitioner's macro view of executive compensation and employee benefits -- with ongoing attention to applicable business, securities, tax, labor, and accounting rules. Students will become familiar with how these rules interact, primarily through examining the actual plans, awards, and SEC filings made by
prominent public companies. Discussion will take into account the design and operation of plans that involve stock awards (such as stock options) and employee investment (through 401(k), ESOP, and employee stock purchase plans). Overall, practical discussions are intended to alert students to the key rules and terminology that face attorneys handling employee benefit matters for private and public companies.
Note for J.D. Students only: Prerequisite: Taxation I; Completion or concurrent enrollment in Securities Regulation and one course dealing with employee benefits is strongly recommended.
This course will require two 5-10 page papers (weighed equally).

Aiken High School's Naval Junior ROTC unit welcomed two new student leaders for 2014-15 – Commanding Officer Phillip Merry and Executive Officer Raymond Moister.
During a change of command event on Friday, Tony Negron, the senior commander, cited Merry's strong record of academics and performance, as well as being "extremely humble, compassionate and understands that actions also speak louder than words."
Moister was described by Negron as assertive and self-assured, with his strongest assets "a caring attitude and a wonderful sense of humor." Merry has been promoted to lieutenant commander, while Moister has received the rank of lieutenant.
Through the past year, Moister said he and Merry motivated each other in seeking top roles in the company. As a sophomore, Merry learned a lot from XO Joshua Strickland, his platoon leader. This year he was impressed with the leadership skills and humbleness of the CO, Kyle Burney.
The outgoing officers were also congratulated for their contributions to the program by Negron and Senior Chief Bruce Bryant. They were impressed by the young men's assertiveness, good judgment and common sense, Negron said.
"Both cadets, Strickland and Burney, have been standout cadets for a number of years now," Negron said. "Senior Chief and I have placed a very heavy burden of leadership on their shoulders ... My XO and CO, and the staff they led, made me proud."
The battalion grew to 187 cadets, accumulating more than 3,300 hours of community service. The two academic teams finished first and fourth in the Navy North Carolina Brain Brawn Championship, and they took the top two places in the Navy North Carolina and South Carolina Academic State Championships.
The rifle team finished second in the North and South Carolina Navy State Rifle Championships and qualified for the Navy National Rifle competition.
Senior writer Rob Novit is the Aiken Standard's education reporter. and has been with the newspaper since September 2001.

The horn is unprotected, your hands also. If you have an allergy with any of the metals in brass you will get that in addition to the green hands too. The horn does not play better or worse, maybe just a TINY bit differently.

My C is all raw brass, you should see the rainbow of colors in the bell! It had a bit of custom work done to it, so all of the solder marks are visible, and it's a very nice brown/rust/brass/whatever else color all over. I personally don't have a problem with playing a raw brass horn, but I don't reccomend a raw brass mouthpiece.

I thought verdigris was used in certain paints? It's carcinogenic via skin contact?... or from the vapers that are created?Warning! Acetic acid (Vinegar) + brass = verdigris, a nasty, carcinogenic kind of patina!

I would be very interested in what would happen if you were to brush your raw brass trumpet with yoghurt and observe the impact that the "greeblies" in the yoghurt culture has on the metal. I've no real idea - I would just be interested.
I think my buddy Jason Harrelson uses a tub full of pickle juice to create a patina.
If you want the patina to stay the way it ends up then after you are done rub down the outside of the horn with a mineral oil (baby oil, skin-so-soft, etc) to put a protective coat on it.
Stop acting like someone shot your dog.
I have some nice raw brass drawer pulls on a piece of furniture I built a couple years ago. They've turned nicely since.
Anything you do to MAKE it patina, will look even overall, hence, artificial, at least until your handling of it wears on that.
There is a "gas chemical particle disposition" treatment you can have done at a professional metal fabrication shop i.e. where they make light fixtures, or faucets. The boys at Orange County Choppers I'm sure would have some really cool ideas, too.
Just let it happen naturally in time. Take photos of it now, and you'll have something to compare it to in the future. (tempus fugit) When I build cherry furniture, I don't stain it. In time it turns a rich red that can't be duplicated overnight.
I saw a used raw Monnette for sale, $9,750, claimed to have been owned by W.M. himself. I noticed water spots on the bell.
If you want, after you wash your trumpet, pull it out of the water, put it on your K&M stand wet and let the water droplets dry on it.
Now, if someone could only tell me how to get used to that raw brass smell on my hands after playing one, I might decide to own one too.

Second-year safety Harrison Smith, drafted in the first round in 2012, suffered a turf toe injury Sunday against the Carolina Panthers that will keep him for at least the team's Monday night game against the New York Giants and might require surgery.
"We are discussing that possibility. We also are looking at the possibility of not having to do any surgery," head coach Leslie Frazier said Thursday. "We're still going through some of that. We'll determine it here pretty soon.
"We're getting information from different doctors on how we should approach it and we're going to talk about it some more today and probably come to a conclusion in the next day or two."
Turf toe is a sprain of the ligaments around the big toe.
"It sucks," Smith told Viking Update on Wednesday. "It's hard to believe a turf toe type of injury can mess you up this much."
On Wednesday, Smith was in a walking boot. On Thursday, he was in a cast that went up just below his knee.
The Vikings are considering if they should place him on injured reserve/designated to return, a decision that is likely tied to whether or not he has surgery. That would require to miss at least six games.
Andrew Sendejo, who played 22 snaps in place of Smith on Sunday and 42 in place of Jamarca Sanford against the Pittsburgh Steelers, will start for Smith against the New York Giants Monday night.
Smith is tied for the team lead with two interceptions, is third on the team with 41 tackles, including one for a loss, has three passes defensed, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble.
Last year, Smith became only the second rookie in team history with two interception returns for touchdowns, was named to the 2012 All-Rookie Team and was second on the team with 129 tackles.
"Harrison is an outstanding young safety and he's done a great job for us and in my mind is one of the best safeties in our league, but Andrew, Mistral (Raymond), Robert Blanton, those guys will do a good job when they're in there. Jamarca will be out there. They're all going to do a good job. They worked hard in practice and they'll prepare well and they'll play well. But Harrison, he's a big-play guy for us, so we're going to miss him."
Up until missing suffering the turf toe that caused him to miss the final 24 snaps of the game, Smith had missed only five snaps in the four previous games.
Only Chad Greenway, Erin Henderson and Jared Allen have played a higher percentage of defensive snaps than Smith's 92 percent.
Smith also suffered a turf toe injury in high school.
RB Adrian Peterson missed Wednesday's practice to attend the funeral of his 2-year-old son in Sioux Falls, S.D. When he returned to practice Thursday, he was limited with a hamstring injury.
It was the first time this season the 2012 NFL MVP has appeared on the weekly report because of injury.
Also limited for the Vikings were CB Xavier Rhodes (ankle), DT Kevin Williams (knee) and WR Jarius Wright (ankle). All are expected to play Monday night.
CB A.J. Jefferson (ankle), S Harrison Smith (toe) and K Blair Walsh (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice. Smith won't play, Jefferson's status is unknown, and Walsh said he will be able to kick field goals but is uncertain about kicking off. Punter Jeff Locke handled the kickoff duties for Walsh on Sunday.
TE Rhett Ellison (knee), QB Christian Ponder (rib) and C John Sullivan (hand) were all full participants in Thursday's practice.
For the Giants, RB David Wilson (neck) has been ruled out of Monday night's game and CB Terrell Thomas (knee) didn't practice Thursday.
C David Baas (neck), CB Jayron Hosley (hamstring), RB Brandon Jacobs (hamstring), TE Adrien Robinson (foot), S Cooper Taylor (shoulder) and CB Corey Webster (groin) were all limited for the Giants.

Operation Stand Down Rhode Island's Executive Director Erik Wallin says the Rhode Island National Guard has a very high redeployment rate and soldiers often have trouble holding on to their jobs. Several Veterans Bills Make It Through The RI General Assembly By Catherine Welch • Jun 23, 2014 file / RIPR Several veteran-related bills made it through the General Assembly and are on their way to the governor's desk. One of those bills gives disabled veterans waivers for classes at state colleges and universities. Another bill lets honorably discharged veterans and National Guard reservists transfer skills they've learned during their service to fulfill requirements for trade apprenticeships. Lawmakers also passed a resolution urging employers to give veterans who work for them time off on Veteran's Day. VA Audit: Providence VA Has Some Of Longest Wait Times By Catherine Welch • Jun 9, 2014 RIPR An audit released by the VA finds patients at the Providence VA Medical Center have some of the longest average waits in the nation to receive primary care. The Providence VA said that's due to staff who retired and an increase in patients at its clinic in Hyannis, MA. New patients receiving their first primary care appointments waited an average of about 74 days, according to the VA audit. Only seven other facilities across the country had longer waits. Sen. Reed: Congress Needs To Help Fix VA's Problems By Catherine Welch • May 30, 2014 Sen. Jack Reed is calling on Congress to address the systemic challenges plaguing the VA healthcare system. Reed made the statement just hours after Veterans Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned amid a growing cover up of long wait times for healthcare. Reed said the next secretary needs to start the job with a top to bottom review of what's causing the backlog. Providence VA Audited Friday; Auditors Find No Scheduling Irregularities By Kristin Gourlay • May 19, 2014 The Department of Veterans Affairs has conducted audits of medical centers around the country after allegations emerged that some centers had concealed appointment wait times. The Providence VA was audited on Friday last week. U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs secretary Eric Shinseki ordered the audits to uncover any other scheduling problems or misconduct. Providence VA spokeswoman Leslie Pierson says auditors spent all day Friday interviewing staff about scheduling practices. Pawtucket Remembers A Veteran's Sacrifice By Flo Jonic • Nov 12, 2013 Flo Jonic / RIPR There were wreath-laying ceremonies and parades all over Rhode Island Monday in honor of Veterans Day. But perhaps none was more poignant than one in Pawtucket. About 200 people gathered in Pawtucket's Slater Park for the dedication of a granite monument in memory of Army Specialist Dennis Poulin. Poulin, a native of Pawtucket, died in Afghanistan two-and-a-half years ago as the result of a rollover accident. He was 26. His mother, Doris Poulin, said she's overwhelmed by the honor bestowed on her son. More Veterans Enrolling at RIC By Elisabeth Harrison • Nov 11, 2013 Elisabeth Harrison Rhode Island College has seen a nearly 60 percent increase in the number of veterans on campus since 2009. RIC has taken steps to better serve veterans, including opening a Veterans' Resource Center, which helps connect veterans to a wide variety of services, including federal and state tuition assistance. The center also employs student veterans in work study positions and makes regular phone calls to veterans to see how they are doing. RIC says the calls are a way of checking in on student veterans, who may not visit the resource center but may still have questions. A Growing Number of RI's Homeless Population Is Elderly By Flo Jonic • Nov 4, 2013 Flo Jonic / RIPR A new report finds Rhode Island's aging homeless population is growing rapidly. According to Crossroads Rhode Island, the number of aging homeless adults increased 34 percent between 2010 and 2012, whereas total homelessness increased only ten percent. Terry Jones has been off the streets for six years but he still pinches himself over his good fortune. Jones, who's 71-years-old, is a resident of the Harold Lewis House in West Warwick, a home providing single or twin occupancy rooms for disabled, aging homeless adults. Vets.RI.Gov: One-Stop-Shopping for RI Veterans By Kristin Gourlay • Apr 12, 2013 Rhode Island has unveiled a new, one-stop-shopping web site for veterans. The new site brings together links and information about the range of services Rhode Island and the federal government offer veterans. From the home page, veterans can find links to Rhode Island college tuition programs, sign up for state and federal benefits, and even locate a service member's grave. House discusses K-9 veterans' day By Jehane Samaha • Feb 7, 2013 US War Dogs Association Since World War II, thousands of dogs have served the USA, though their contributions often go unnoticed. Yesterday, the Rhode Island House Veterans' Affairs Committee considered a bill to set March 13th as a state-wide holiday, "K-9 Veterans' Day." Ron Aiello, President of the United States War Dogs Association, says in the past 10 years, there have been approximately 600 to 700 dog teams in the Middle East at any one time.

A new report out of the state senate urges the state to do a better job connecting veterans with jobs and services. The state counts more than 70,000 veterans living in Rhode Island, and unemployment numbers show they have a higher rate of joblessness than their civilian counterparts. The health costs of post-9/11 wars By Kristin Gourlay • Sep 11, 2012 On this solemn anniversary, an update on the terrible costs of war, including the toll on veterans' and their families' lives, from the Brown University-based "Costs of War" project.

This actually happened.
It would have been enough for the Oconomowoc football team to knock off mighty Wisconsin Lutheran, move to 6-0 on the year, clinch a playoff berth and get an inside track on the Wisconsin Little Ten title. Wisco, which came into the WLT meeting Friday with a 22-game conference winning streak and a string of 11 straight wins over Oconomowoc, looked like the biggest obstacle to the Raccoons' first conference title since 2002.
But that's not the reason at least one fan was getting his picture taken in front of the scoreboard at Oconomowoc High School after the game. The 84-82 score had something to do with that.
Eighty four to eighty two. It's not a misprint, it wasn't basketball and it didn't need overtime.
When Jason Brandl emerged from the bottom of a scrum with the football, Oconomowoc had recovered a final onside kick from Wisconsin Lutheran with 30 seconds to play and secured perhaps the biggest win of coach Ryan McMillen's five years as head coach. Along the way, the two teams racked up a combined point total that by most accounts obliterated the previous Wisconsin state record.
Canton induction
Oconomowoc chose "Dancing Through the Decades" as its Homecoming theme this year, and when Saturday's dance rolls around, Canton Larson will be Homecoming King. Before that, Oconomowoc's third-year starting quarterback moved his team from the 50s to the 60s to the 70s to the 80s with his 493 all-purpose yards and eight total touchdowns.
"It's obviously the best game I've ever been a part of," Larson said. "It could have gone either way, and we happened to come out on top. I'm speechless, to be quite honest."
Though Larson's dazzling touchdown scamper with 24 seconds left in the first half probably counted as his most reel-worthy highlight, his 14-yard score with 4:10 to play accounted for the winning points. Cooney went up by an 84-74 score at that point, and though the Vikings answered with a 16-play drive that featured four conversions on third-and-long and a pair of fourth-down conversions, too much time had gone off the clock.
The Vikings, who did not attempt an extra-point kick all night, pulled within 84-82 on a 2-point run. Wisco missed three times on 2-point attempts, cashing in on the other eight.
"We were going back and forth from the beginning and it just seemed like nobody could stop each other," Larson said. "It could have been anybody's game."
Indeed, after Wisco took a 28-14 lead with 5:05 to go in the second quarter, neither team led by more than 13 the rest of the night.
"Wisco goes up two scores in the first (half), almost every other team is going to fold," said McMillen. "That kind of happened to us last year; we could see guys folding in various spots all over the field. We were well aware of it and knew everyone was going to be counted on."
Last year, Wisconsin Lutheran leveled Oconomowoc, 48-6.
Larson delivered passes of 64 yards (to Casey Bednarski) and 37 yards (Jack Bourdo) to tie the game. After the Vikings reclaimed the lead, Larson then darted from the left sideline across the middle of the field to the opposite side of the end zone for a 51-yard run just before the clock expired in the first half. It was a play set up by a strong Oconomowoc kickoff return, though Jarek Berg's kickoff return for touchdown to break a 42-42 tie counted as the biggest special teams play of the night.
The Vikings still led at the break, 36-35, but Nick Gomez intercepted Vikings quarterback Logan McShane and ran 44 yards for a touchdown on the first possession of the second half, giving the Raccoons a 42-36 edge. The lead evaporated quickly, but Cooney held the edge for much of the second half.
"I read pass, dropped back, I didn't really see the quarterback," Gomez said. "I just saw the ball and grabbed it and ran. It was great to get the lead and our offense kept scoring and kept us in it.
"We had full pads all week. We knew we needed to get physical with them," Gomez added. "We usually don't go pads in practice but we did this week. We got physical and stood them up when we needed to."
As the game approached video-game level production, Wisco grabbed its last lead at 50-49 with 7:23 to play in the third quarter. Cooney's Richard Kuehl recovered a fumble to stop a Wisconsin Lutheran drive – the final stop before a string of eight consecutive drives resulting in touchdowns – and Larson ran for an 8-yard score that gave his team a 63-50 lead.
Larson later added a 60-yard run for touchdown and finished with four scores on the ground and four through the air, with 198 rushing yard and 295 passing yards. In addition to the kickoff return, the teams combined for nine drives that lasted three plays or fewer.
"Coach Mac just put a scheme in and we just ran it," Larson said. "Our dudes did what they needed to do, and it so happened that it worked. We had a good scheme and executed it."
Huge numbers
Wisconsin Lutheran had its own eye-popping collection of statistics going. McShane threw for 180 yards and two scores, adding four more on the ground with 111 rushing yards. Terrance Ward rushed for 265 yards and three touchdowns, and Austin DeNoyer cleared 106 yards with two scores.
Anthony Carver added six catches for 105 yards and a touchdown. In all, the Vikings outgained the Raccoons, 708-539, with the discrepancy largely explained by OHS kicker Casey Bednarski's ability to boom the ball into the end zone for touchbacks routinely. Meanwhile, the Raccoons started on a short field much of the night.
"No matter where we were on the field, we felt we were going to score," McMillen said. "Same thing on the other side of the ball. It didn't matter where they were; they felt like they were going to score. The kids are going to be sore tomorrow."
Bednarski, who also caught two passes for 131 yards and a score, converted on all 12 extra-point attempts he had, shaking off the effects of a leg injury earlier in the game.
Somehow, neither side seemed to budge when fatigue should have taken its toll.
"They have some kids that go both ways, and we knew if we kept going, they might get tired at some point," Larson said. "To be quite honest, it didn't look like they got tired at all. They just kept going and going.
Said Gomez, "I have a lot of adrenaline going, so I wasn't getting tired. We conditioned a lot during the offseason and in practice for times like this. We stuck around until the end and got the win."
Oconomowoc's schedule doesn't soften dramatically from here, with games against Hartford, Watertown and Slinger representing formidable challenges. Watertown lost earlier in the year to Wisconsin Lutheran by a touchdown.
"We have a lot bigger goals than beating Wisco," Gomez said. "We obviously knew that was one of our biggest goals, but we have a lot of games left. We have to keep our heads and keep playing the season out."
In the short term, they get to stop scoring touchdowns for a few moments.
"It was a super stressful week with very intense practices," Larson said. "They're a very good football team and can put up 82 like they just did. Now we get to relax and dance at Homecoming."
By the numbers
50 Combined points scored by the two teams in the third quarter alone
15 Points in first quarter (Wisco led, 8-7)
8 Touchdowns by Oconomowoc's Canton Larson (four rushing, four passing)
0 Extra-point kicks attempted by Wisconsin Lutheran
0 Field goals in the game (lone OHS attempt went wide on first drive of game)
10 Scoring drives that lasted three plays or less, including kickoff return by Oconomowoc's Jarek Berg
3 Points scored in the 1988 state title game, a 3-0 Oconomowoc loss that marks lowest-scoring state title game in history. Players were celebrating 25th anniversary of that team at Friday's Homecoming.
33 Combined points beyond previous state record of 133 points in a game (D.C. Everest topped Wisconsin Rapids in 1998, 70-63)
8 minutes left in game (7:46) when Oconomowoc-Wisconsin Lutheran matchup had eclipsed previous state record

If you are a white foreigner (locally known as bule) you tend to get stared at in places where few white foreigners go, but overall, Indonesians stand back and look, rather than gather around you. Those who do come right up to you are usually kids. The other habit which altogether ordinary to Indonesians is touching between those of the same gander.
- Road Trip
- Backpacking
- Singles
"Hello Mister" Fatigue
This is the universal greeting given to white foreigners regardless of whether the person who is addressed is male or female. The less advanced English students know only "Mister" and "how are you", which they will enthusiastically yell at white foreigners many times.
- Singles
- Road Trip
- Backpacking
When we in the small island of Air Manis beach, we met 3 local kids... and they reallyyyy nice and friendly to everybody... and one of the kid climb to the tree and pick jambu Kaliang (black guava), the taste..... delicious....
padang food
padang food is probably one of the most popular food in indonesia. you can find it everywhere in indonesia and always moslem friendly.
the taste is very spicy and usually people eat it with their bare hand.
the way they serve the food is also unique. they put everything on your table and you don't have to eat everything of course.
they usually don't put price either, but usually it's not that expensive.

Dell XPS 15 review
One of the more expensive and powerful Windows 8 laptops
Product Dell XPS 15 (2014 model)
Website Dell.com
Specifications 15.6in 3200x1880 resolution IPS touchscreen display, quad-core 3.2GHz Intel Haswell Core i7-4702HQ processor, Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2GB GPU, 16GB DDR3L 1600MHz RAM, 512GB mSATA SSD drive, 802.11b/g/n/ac WiFi, Bluetooth, 4x USB 3.0 ports, HDMI port, mini Displayport, 3.5mm audio jack, SDcard slot, webcam and mic, no Ethernet port, 91WHr 6-cell battery, Windows 8.1 64-bit operating system, 370x251x19mm, 1.88kg.
Price £1,680
DELL'S Xtreme Performance System (XPS) laptop range dates back to 1993, when the US company launched the line to focus on corporate customers rather than consumers.
Since that time, the brand has developed to present the company's fast and powerful business laptops. That still holds true in the latest edition of the Dell XPS 15 laptop, shown in our video below, which features high-end specifications such as a nearly 4K resolution touchscreen display, an Intel Haswell Core-i7 processor and 16GB of RAM.
There's no question that the Dell XPS 15's design and high quality aluminium finish juxtaposed against a matt charcoal casing ensures that it looks the part, reflecting its premium price.
It's definitely not the slimmest 15in laptop on the market, measuring 19mm at its thickest point. But it's impressively compact considering its high-end specifications. We were expecting a bulkier design due to its powerful dedicated GPU, so for a desktop replacement it is fairly slender, fitting nicely into a rucksack to carry to and from work. Although its not up ultrabook standards, the XPS 15 is also lightweight for its power, weighing 1.88kg.
Opening it up, you'll notice that Dell has upholstered the keyboard surround of the XPS 15 with a soft touch finish, making it feel rather luxurious against the wrists. However it is worth noting that while it does feel good to the touch, the finish does pick up smudge marks. The chassis is also prone to scratches if not protected properly during transportation.
Overall, Dell has made good use of high quality materials and the XPS 15 impressed us with its design and build. It feels well made and has a high quality finish, and as a result it is a pleasure to work on, or play on, for that matter.
Next: Keyboard.

The Corruption and Crime Commission will itself be investigated over its handling of the credit card inquiry into Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan.
Veteran barrister Ron Davies confirmed yesterday he was preparing a submission to the CCC watchdog, acting Parliamentary Inspector Chris Zelestis, which will accuse the CCC of continuing an inquiry into Mr O'Callaghan without any justification.
It is the latest twist in the credit card saga, which reached a crescendo on Wednesday when a CCC report containing claims by WA Police executive director Greg Italiano that Mr O'Callaghan had lost his "ethical compass" were made public.
The allegations, contained in the second CCC report into the Police Commissioner in the past three months, have left the pair's working relationship in tatters.
But with Mr O'Callaghan cleared of misconduct in both reports and Mr Italiano suddenly taking leave over the affair, the Police Commissioner is now fighting back.
He has written to Mr Zelestis, engaged Mr Davies to act for him at any hearings and is raising questions about the timing of the CCC investigation, which began in November.
"You could quite rightly ask the question as to why now, why at this time, why both inquiries at the same time," he told Radio 6PR yesterday.
Mr Davies went further, telling _The West Australian _he will argue that the CCC credit card investigation was flawed from the start.
"I don't think that the continuation of the inquiry and the things the CCC went on with after that could ever be justified," he said.
"I just think that he's been treated unfairly and without consideration to the nature of his office."
He said he planned to bring damaging evidence about the CCC inquiry, which examined trips to Broome and Europe, to Mr Zelestis.
The CCC concluded Mr Italiano's view of the Police Commissioner's ethics and a so-called "pattern of behaviour" regarding credit card use could not be substantiated.
Mr Italiano was singled out by the report for failing to identify "any particular matter, transaction or series of transactions in support of his concerns".
Premier Colin Barnett said this week that Cabinet would consider renewing Mr O'Callaghan's contract, which expires on Wednesday.
He said advice from the Public Sector Commissioner meant there was nothing to prevent Mr O'Callaghan's reappointment.
But rumours continue to circulate about a major rift within the police executive because of the CCC reports. "Not everyone in this organisation is going to like the way I do my business, nor the decisions I make, and I entirely accept that," Mr O'Callaghan said.

1 In contrast to most other cells, neurons have a distinctive feature: the ability to ___with other cells.
2 Axons end in small bulges called terminal buttons that send messages to other neurons; the terminal buttons contain____.
3 Neurons follow a(an) ____law; they are either on or off.
4 Even though all impulses move at the same strength or speed through a particular axon--because of the all-or-none law--there is variation in the ____.
5 One of the most common neurotransmitters, ____, is involved in our every move because it transmits messages relating to our skeletal muscles.
6 Connections among neurons are not the only means of communication within the body; the ____secretes chemicals that circulate through the blood, also communicating messages that influence behavior and many aspects of biological functioning.
7 The spinal cord is not just a communications conduit; it also controls some simple kinds of behavior on its own. Such behaviors are called ____. One example occurs when your knee is tapped with a rubber hammer.
8 Sensory (or____) neurons transmit information from the sensory organs to the central nervous system, and motor (or____) neurons communicate information from the nervous system to muscles.
9 According to the "fight or flight" syndrome, when you have five_minutes to turn in your paper, and you have just found a parking space, the ____engages all of your resources to prepare your body to respond to stressful emergency situations (e.g., running across campus).
10 Behavioral genetics researchers are finding increasing evidence that ____are determined to some extent by genetic factors.
11 The ____uses a computer to construct an image of the structures of the brain by combining thousands of separate x-rays taken at slightly different angles.
12 The ____is a busy relay system, the "switchboard" of the brain, directing information to the appropriate areas.
13 Those features unique to the human brain are the abilities to think, evaluate, and make complex judgments. These abilities are located primarily in the____.
14 Most of our understanding of the association areas comes from patients who have suffered some type of____.
