Cameron Wright NAMED SKIP PROSSER SCHOLAR-ATHLETE AWARD WINNER
Pitt guard Cameron Wright has been named the recipient of the 2014 Skip Prosser Award, emblematic of the top scholar-athlete in men's basketball, ACC Commissioner John Swofford announced today. Wright was presented with the award prior to Pitt's first-ever ACC Tournament game on Thursday against Wake Forest at the Greensboro Coliseum.
The junior business-marketing major from Cleveland, Ohio, gives Pitt a recipient of the prestigious award in its inaugural season in the ACC. The award was created in 2007 to honor the memory of George Edward "Skip" Prosser, who compiled a 291-146 career record in 14 seasons as a head coach, including a 126-68 mark in his six years with Wake Forest. The 2003 ACC Coach of the Year, Prosser won 20-plus games and led the Demon Deacons to the NCAA Tournament in each of his first four seasons in Winston-Salem. Every Wake Forest senior he coached graduated, and the Deacons placed nine players on the annual All-ACC Academic Basketball Team during his tenure.
In order to be nominated for the award, a student-athlete must be an upperclassman with a grade-point average of 3.0 or better - both in his career and in the previous two semesters. Sixty percent of the award is based on academic achievement and 40 percent on athletic accomplishments.
Recently named to the All-ACC Men's Basketball Academic Team, Wright is a four-time recipient of the University of Pittsburgh's Scholar-Athlete Award, and a two-time recipient of the school's Academic Excellence Award. He is also a past winner of the University of Pittsburgh-Jaron Brown Pursuit of Excellence Award and was selected to the Big East All-Academic team on three occasions.
Wright has played a key role in the Panthers' 23-8 season that included 11 ACC regular-season wins. While starting all 31 games this season, Wright has averaged 10.8 points while shooting just over 47 percent from the floor. He has also pulled down 3.4 rebounds per game and ranks third on the team in assists with 2.7 per game. He has reached double figure scoring in 18 games.
Wright is Pitt's fourth all-time conference scholar-athlete award winner in men's basketball. Other award winners include Joey David (1984-85), Darren Morningstar (1991-92) and Aaron Gray (2006-07). He is the second player to earn a men's basketball top scholar-athlete award since Jamie Dixon became head coach in 2003. Earlier this year, it was announced that Pitt led the league with four All-ACC Academic Team selections.
Clemson guard Cliff Hammonds (2008), Miami guard Jack McClinton (2009), Virginia center Jerome Meyinsse (2010) and North Carolina center Tyler Zeller (2011 and 2012) and Duke's Mason Plumlee (2013) are past Skip Prosser Award recipients.
At 23-8 overall and 11-7 in ACC play, Pitt finished in fifth place, one spot higher than the media predicted it would finish in a preseason poll. With an 83-78 win at Clemson, Pitt concluded its season with an ACC-best 7-2 road record on the year. That record also tied for its best league road record in school history. Pitt also went 7-2 in 2010-11 (see chart on page 3). In addition, an impressive 10 of Pitt's 23 wins have come away from the Petersen Events Center (seven wins in away games and three in neutral contests). Upon entering tournament play this week, only 11 programs nationwide have 10 or more victories away from home: Wichita State (17), Villanova (13), Florida (12), Wisconsin (11), Syracuse (11), Michigan State (11), Pitt (10), Virginia (10), Louisville (10), Michigan (10) and Arizona (10).

Crack/Split right under door knob?
1 Attachment(s)
Long story short, I locked myself out of a key locked room and ended up crowbarring my way in. Since the key is gone, I decided to replace the knob with a basic bathroom lock. However, by doing so, I split the wood under the door knob. Is there a way to fix this without taking the wood off its hinges? I've got paint of the right color, sandpaper, wood glue, and probably a clamp somewhere, but I'd like to avoid taking more things apart. I've attached pictures of what I'm dealing with.

The problem with gluing that up in place is controlling the mess. You're far better off removing the hinge pins and laying the door flat, injecting some Titebond 2 glue, clamp and let it sit overnight. If the split was on the top side it would be a different story.
Thanks for the pic. Looks like a job for Gorilla Glue
and a deep throated C Clamp. This one would work.
Use some wax paper against the door after you glue it so your blocks don't glue themselves fast to the face of the door.
Good grief, C clamp, Gorilla glue, tite bond . Don't bother looking for your clamp. Elmer's school glue with a chair leaning against it for 30 minutes will fix that .
if its a hollow core just replace the door.. when stuff like that happens the repair hardly holds up long term

BETSY HART: Value in relationships of the moment
I was talking with one of my daughters the other day. She was conflicted about spending time with a new child in her class given we are moving to a new area in just a few short months. To her mind, what is the point?
She was fairly matter-of-fact about the issue, and I was taken aback.
I wouldn't have always been. I remember years ago adopting what I jokingly referred to then as a "no net-new-friends" policy. I said I had no room for anyone else, that if I made a new friend, an old one would have to go!
To paraphrase Shakespeare, "many a truth is spoken in jest."
I remember being (ungratefully!) irritated if I was invited to a dinner party and seated next to someone I didn't know. Actually, I would get irritated if it was a small group and the hostess invited anyone I didn't know. Don't people understand, I would think, that when you go out to relax you want to be able to kick back? You don't want to meet someone new because someone else knows "you'll just think the world of each other!" Who cares? I was full up on friends and didn't want to "waste" time asking "so, what do you do?" when I could instead be rehashing lines from a "Seinfeld" episode for hours on end with people I knew well.
In other words, why would I want to go through a whole evening starting a relationship that might very well end with the evening?
And then, the one relationship I thought would be my most important and intimate and would last until death proved to be in some ways the most ephemeral of all. What a twist. So as my life blew up and I became a single mom, I started thinking about relationships a little differently.
Over the years, two conversations in particular really influenced me. Because my four kids didn't have a dad in the home starting when my oldest was just 10, I was more focused than I otherwise would have been on the adult relationships they did have. Whether it was with a teacher, adult at church, or occasionally a fellow I dated, I focused on whether those relationships were long lasting, stable, and so on.
And then, a friend pointed out that as long as the relationships were with good people, to not be too afraid to have folks moving in and out of my children's lives. A teacher, a Bible study leader, a friend of mine whether male or female, a friend of their own might be touching their lives for a short time. But that short time could be a positive thing that was just what they — my kids or the other person — needed in that moment.
In another conversation, a friend explained why he believed in short-term mission projects. I had always been a little cynical myself about any this-worldly benefit. "OK, so we send a team into Africa, they build someone a house and help orphans — but typically everybody goes back to their lives the way they were — what is the point?"
And then my friend shared that's exactly what happened with Jesus. In his earthly ministry, He sometimes touched people just for a moment. He healed and yet those very people would get sick again. He knew people intimately, like the woman at the well, in a way they couldn't imagine — and they surely went on to be lonely again in this world. He raised people from the dead and those very people would go on to later die. Yet those moments changed lives and changed history. Not just in eternity, but in real time. He more than anyone who ever lived showed relationships, even those that last moments, if thought about rightly can have lasting value.
So yes, I still get protective of my "relationship" time. I want to spend that time on family and close friends. And yes, being aware of time and being deliberate about how we use it is wise. But I've also become, I hope, more thoughtful over the years about understanding that shorter relationships, even some that just last a moment, can really matter too. I mean, you might even find in that moment someone who, say, can rehash "Seinfeld" with the best of them!
My kids? Well, they will have to find their own way on this, I suppose. Sure, we can sing, "Make new friends and keep the old, one is silver but the other's gold." But they will probably have to walk through a few fires of their own before figuring all that out. I do hope I'm raising them in such a way that those fires give them a little more to offer, and to receive, in those relationships of the moment.

I never thought I'd be reaching back to anything so recent as the work of stylist Jason Farrer as a reference, but here I am. I used to see JJ, as all his mates called him, around the clubs of NY and what I felt was a mixture of awe and envy because he was soooo NY. He wore sharkskin suits to hip-hop clubs and always had the best entourage. Jason Farrer's work was so clever in the way it absorbed all these very urban-Latino street elements and threw them up on the high wall of fashion. There was something of the NY graffiti master to his way of styling , which was to throw outfits together in a way that had a signature "tag" to it. Only JJ could drop it-just-like-that.

***Press Release: embargo 00:01 hours, Thursday 14 July 2011***
New Panel will assess the state of independence in the voluntary sector
–5 year programme launches with report and consultation–
A new Panel of senior figures from across the voluntary sector today launches its 5-year programme with a consultation seeking views about the independence of voluntary organisations.
The Panel on the Independence of the Voluntary Sector has been established by the Baring Foundation as part of its continuing commitment to support an independent and effective voluntary sector. Chaired by former Chief Inspector of Prisons Dame Anne Owers, the Panel will oversee a programme of work aimed at assessing the state of independence, opening up a wider debate and ensuring that independence is a top priority for everyone concerned.
Today's consultation is the first part of this process. The Panel will seek views from across and beyond the sector about the challenges as they see them. In its first report, The Panel recognises that many voluntary organisations receive external funding, including though government contracts and grants. The Panel recognises the mutual benefits of partnership working but is concerned that independence should always be upheld. Some issues on which it is inviting views are:
- How to ensure independence is respected, to avoid the risk of some organisations simply becoming 'delivery agents' for public services, and being constrained in independence of voice or action or even diverted from their original purpose if independence is not respected;
- The possible impact of public spending cuts on the capacity of voluntary organisations to act independently and respond to the needs of the most vulnerable; and
- The impact of other changes – including the way in which the government funds and commissions services – on the sector's independence.
The consultation document invites views and evidence to feed into a report on the state of independence to be published later this year – the first of five annual reports to come from the Panel.
A key part of the consultation is the proposal of a "Barometer" of independence. This has been designed to ask key questions to help judge how far independence in the sector is being maintained and achieved.
Dame Anne, who is also chair of charities Christian Aid and Clinks, said today:
"Independence is vital to a vibrant and effective voluntary sector. It enables the voluntary sector to meet real and sometimes previously hidden needs, to speak up without fear or favour and to deliver services in original and effective ways.
"It is this independence – of purpose, voice and action – that makes the voluntary sector special. And this has to remain the top priority as the voluntary sector forges close relationships with the state and indeed other funders, whether they are large companies, charitable trusts or the Big Lottery.
"The prime responsibility for upholding independence lies with voluntary organisations themselves. This does not mean avoiding partnerships with others or not accepting funding. But it does mean always keeping centre stage the interests of the people and communities they serve.
"The sector's role in service delivery, the impact of cuts in public spending, and the way that contracts are drawn up and commissioned are some of the issues on which we are inviting views and which we will be investigating in preparation for our first assessment of the state of independence, to be published towards the end of the year. "
The full report and details about how to respond to the consultation, which ends on 21st September, can be found at www.independencepanel.org.uk
Note to Editors
1. The Panel, supported by the Baring Foundation, runs for five years to 2015. As well as Dame Anne Owers, its members are Nicholas Deakin, whose Deakin Report in 1996 led to the creation of the Compact; Conservative Peer, Lord Hodgson, chair of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations and the recent government taskforce into cutting red tape for charities and social enterprise; Andrew Hind, former chief executive of the Charity Commission; Sir Bert Massie former Commissioner for the Compact and chair of the Disability Rights Commission; public law expert, Louise Whitfield; Nick Wilkie, chief executive of London Youth and; chief executive of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Julia Unwin.
2. At the end of each year, the Panel will publish an Annual Statement which will include a "Barometer of Independence" designed to measure where sector independence is strong or weak. The Panel will assess whether voluntary organisations are doing all they can to uphold independence and also look at the environmental factors that can have a profound influence, including the relationship with government and all other vested interests. It will make annual recommendations for the sector, government and other funders.
3. The Baring Foundation is an independent charitable foundation with the purpose of improving the quality of life of people suffering disadvantage and discrimination. It has been providing grants since 2006 to help foster voluntary sector independence.

Wine auctions see booming sales
By Leslie Gevirtz
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - After buoyant wine auctions that saw booming sales, most auctioneers believe the only bubbles in the wine market are in the Champagnes poured during the bidding.
Chicago-based wine merchants Hart Davis Hart reaped $4.9 million at its Lafite auction Saturday, reinforcing its image as the most sought-after, top growth Bordeaux. And on the same day New York's Acker Merrall & Condit sold $2.3 million at its auction.
"I don't see prices going anywhere significantly except up," said John Kapon, its head of auctions.
Both sales were the first to be held after the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan. Although Japan is home to many wine collectors, the country is not considered influential in the wine market.
The Liv-ex Fine Wine 100 Index, which shows the price movement for 100 of the most coveted wines, confirms what auctioneers are seeing -- all signs are pointing up. The index rose 41 percent year-on-year to the end of February.
So far in 2011, leading wine auction house have sold more than $46 million of wine.
Kapon dismissed any comparison of the wine market to the housing bubble that helped spark the worldwide economic recession.
"Nobody is making more of this stuff ... and it's getting consumed every week. Somebody is drinking this and who knows how many bottles every week are getting consumed," he said. Continued...

Corn Bread for Khrushchev
In the US, Nikita Khrushchev is best known for his shoe-banging at the United Nations. In Russia, the eccentric premier is mostly remembered for his obsession with planting corn everywhere—which earned him the nickname of Kukuruznik (Corn Man). As a comical tribute to Khrushchev, Anya von Bremzen and her mother often make this moist, fluffy Moldovan corn bread with feta and sour cream. It's fantastic for dunking into sauces and dips, or with more feta and fire-roasted red peppers. It also makes a great toast.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6 to 8
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus more for the pan
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups fine yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 pound feta cheese, crumbled
- Thinly sliced jarred roasted red peppers, for serving (optional)
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 400° and butter a 9-inch square baking pan. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, sour cream and melted butter. In a medium bowl, whisk the cornmeal with the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and baking soda. Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth, then fold in the crumbled feta.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 40 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the corn bread cool slightly, then cut into squares and serve with roasted peppers.
Make Ahead
The corn bread can be stored in an airtight container overnight; serve at room temperature.

This type of prayer has a special name - it's called imprecatory prayer. There are many examples of this in the Psalms, especially 58, 59 and 69. David writes in Psalm 69, "May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever. Pour out your wrath on them; let your fierce anger overtake them. May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents."
We need to be very careful with this type of prayer for it's a very fine line between appealing to God's perfect sense of justice and lashing out because our pride has been hurt.
Are we not to love our enemies? If we are going to pray for God to punish, curse or harm someone, we need to examine our motives. What are we hoping will be the result? If we want revenge because that person hurt us, then our motives are not honest. We should be asking God to help us to forgive that person, for the desire for revenge is not holy and it will end up causing our hearts to harden.
An important clue to watch for is that we are asking God to harm or punish someone in the same way they hurt us. This is an indication that we want revenge, not justice. If you've been hurt by a boyfriend who was unfaithful and you find yourself asking God to make his new girlfriend cheat on him so he knows how it feels, that's a pretty strong indicator that your motive is not pure. Forgiveness and healing should be your priorities.
On the other hand, if we are seeking for God to be glorified, then we may be right to ask for God's righteous punishment. In particular, when someone is doing something unholy such as worshiping the devil or persecuting Christians, then it is right that we should ask God to punish that person so He would be glorified. It might be right and even loving to ask God to harm the person in order to get their attention and stop what they're doing. We are not asking for our own gain, only that justice would be done and God would be rightly worshiped and obeyed.
Finally, we should remember that justice belongs to the Lord alone. When we pray for justice or punishment, we should be certain to make sure that we ask the Lord to deliver it in His way at His appropriate time. We should never seek for permission to deliver it ourselves unless we also happen to be part of God's appointed institutions, such as an officer of the law or a judge. It may be fine to ask God for justice, but we must be patient and allow God to work through the means that He has determined.

Shunning a Woman Candidate Shrinks a Political Party in Vermont
The Republican Party in Vermont is shrinking,
and the reason is that Republican
party leaders shun women candidates.
Ms. Emily Peyton has been shunned.
She is not the first woman candidate, running as a Republican
in a primary, who this has happened to. It has happened
before, to a different woman in Vermont;
and the Republican party has been shrinking ever since.
Now, it will shrink more.
Ms. Emily Peyton collected hundreds and hundreds
of registered voter signatures to qualify to be on the
Republican Primary Election Ballot in Vermont
this August in the race for Governor.
Quite strangely, the Republican Party
in Vermont announced, repeatedly in the news,
that they would not support her candidacy.
They have not discouraged two men candidates who
also qualified for the Republican Primary for Governor
in Vermont, Scott Milne and Steve Berry.
Are the Republicans misogynists? Do they hate women?
Now, because of all of the negative publicity against
Ms. Emily Peyton, all of the Republicans who signed
her petition to put her on the ballot may feel that
their vote doesn't count. The Republicans who signed
Ms. Emily Peytons petition are being insulted by the
reigning powers in control of the Vermont Republican
Party, the relatively few people who run the Party.
Remember, hundreds and hundreds of people signed
Ms. Emily Peyton's petition, and there are only a small
handful of people in control of the Republican Party -
so the minority in control are telling hundreds of
Republicans that essentially, they are bad people
or fools or ignorant for signing Ms. Emily Peyton's
Clearly, the insults slung at Ms. Emily
Peyton by the leaders of the Vermont Republican
party prove that they are disenfranchising the hundreds
of Republicans who signed Peyton's petition; and
therefore, it is likely that those hundreds of people
may just quit the Republican Party because the
leaders are not listening to the people.
Therefore, the Republican Party in Vermont will

Its been a dream of mine for several years, to somehow get my work to Surtex in New York City. Surtex is a big trade show for art directors & buyers from all over the huge USA market [and maybe even international] to attend & buy &/or license artwork to put onto their products. I've made plans to try & get there, or at least get my work there but well, time & money....
This year my amazing agency is taking my work to share with prospective clients. I'm so grateful & excited to have a little piece of me in New York for this years Surtex. I've collated some samples of my work in a blurb book & its just arrived at my agents office. Visitors to Surtex can see my work at the Lilla Rogers Studio booth #220.

I have 4 clever, spirited, beautiful, strong, sometimes grumpy, often shy, happy, stubborn, creative daughters that I am raising together with Jeff. I hope I raise them to know themselves, to be true to themselves, to work towards their own goals, to not put too much pressure on themselves, to laugh at themselves, to always be kind, to block out the noise of hatred, unkindness. Throughout schooling & indeed life, to walk away from drama & those girls who have nothing nice to say. To help those in need. To understand how lucky they are to live in Australia & to be compassionate & accepting towards those who do not or are new here. Only one generation ago, we were new here.
I hope they will find something to be passionate about, I hope they will find love. I want them to always know how much they are loved. I want them to be generous. To always extend the olive branch & learn to say sorry & mean it. To work hard. To relax. To use their gut instincts. To learn to make good choices for themselves and know that when they make bad ones, we will be right here for them. And indeed if they fall, they can call me at 3 o'clock in the morning & I will always come and get them. Always. I want them to always know that I am their biggest fan & will cheer them all the way.
This past week, we finally got to go to the Taylor Swift concert. We've had tickets for a year. A gift from my parents to my girls & I for Christmas last year. I hope to always be so close to my girls and that we will be lucky enough to have many more special experiences like this one. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to share that first concert experience with my daughters. I am concert & music mad & I would love them to develop a passion for music like me. I've found that music can carry you through love, pain & shame, isolation & broken hearts like nothing else can.
Not being able to afford the official tour merchandise, we settled on one tour program for the girls to share & we made our own t-shirts at home with their favourite Taylor words & songs & they proudly wore them on the night. It was such a wonderful show & Taylor is such a good role model I believe. She had so many positive messages to share on the night.

Brett Anderson was dominant for
the Athletics in a must-win game
Brett Anderson didn't show any jitters in his postseason debut, allowing just two hits in six scoreless innings.
It is just the fourth time that an Oakland Athletics pitcher has put up a pitching line at least that good in postseason history and the first since Vida Blue threw a two-hit shutout against the Orioles in Game 3 of the 1974 ALCS.
Anderson Staying Grounded
Anderson got it done by keeping the ball on the ground. Of the 18 outs he recorded, 11 came on the ground and six were strikeouts.
The Tigers were kept off balance by Anderson's breaking ball which ranged in velocity from 75 MPH to 86 MPH. All six of his strikeouts came with his faster breaking ball, all thrown between 83 and 84 MPH. Seventy-four percent of Anderson's breaking pitches were down in the zone or below it, the second-highest percentage of his career.
Crisp Steals Another Homer
The lone fly ball out Anderson got was dramatic as Coco Crisp robbed Prince Fielder of a would-be home run.
According to Baseball Info Solutions, Fielder has been robbed of a homer three times in 2012, more than any other player.
In addition to Crisp's robbery Tuesday, he has seven regular-season HR robberies since 2004. Only three players have more regular-season HR robberies than him in that span (Torii Hunter 12, Jason Bay 9, Ichiro Suzuki 8).
Tigers vs Athletics
Postseason Since 2006
Shutout Notes
For the Athletics, the shutout was the 11th in their postseason history and the first since Game 2 of the 2001 ALDS against the Yankees.
It is the first time they've allowed four hits or fewer in a postseason shutout since the 1981 ALDS against the Royals.
According to Elias, it was the eighth time a team used four or more pitchers in a nine-inning shutout while allowing no more than four hits in a postseason game. The last time came in Game 1 of the 2008 ALCS when the Red Sox blanked the Tampa Bay Rays behind Daisuke Matsuzaka, Hideki Okajima, Justin Masterson and Jonathan Papelbon.

Dixie Youth Baseball teams open all-star tournament play this weekend. Campbell County is hosting the 11-12 year olds at Asbury Park in Caryville. Opening night is set for Friday, June 22. However, Campbell County's 11-12 team was awarded a first-round bye and won't see action until Saturday evening at 6 p.m.
Tickets are $5 at the gate. One dollar of each ticket sold on opening night goes into the Dixie Youth Scholarship Fund.
The following is a list of Campbell County all-star players selected to compete in the four older baseball age divisions.
The boys' basketball teams from Campbell County and Jellico high schools concluded their summer team camp/play day schedules last week.
Campbell County finished up on a high note at LMU's Camp. The Cougars went 5-1 for the weekend. The lone loss was to Cumberland Gap during the fourth game of camp on Friday.
Campbell County picked up wins over Loudon and Oneida as well as Kentucky schools Buckhorn and Knox Central.
Two-sport standout Shayla Goins now knows where she will be attending classes this fall.
The recent Campbell County High School graduate signed a letter-of-intent Monday afternoon to compete as a member of the women's track and field team at King College, an NCAA Division II school in Bristol.
Goins enjoyed a stellar season campaign with a 2nd place state finish in shot put and 4th in discus. She was also an all-district selection in basketball. Goins plans to major in education with the hope of one day coaching both sports.
Alla Faye Monday won the Class A championship Saturday in the James Davis Open at Asbury Park in Caryville. She had a 5-1 won/loss record. She had 208 points and entered the event with a 58.88 percent ringer average, which she improved to 60.83.
Monday defeated 88-year-old Frank Jones, who was 3-3 with 189 points and a 48.76 average. In the Class B championships, Henry Nease won seven of his eight contests, defeating Jackie Smith of Morristown. H. L. Evans, a local man, placed 4th.
Jacksboro Middle School will host the JMS Eagle Cheer Camp from 9 a.m. until noon June 18, 19 and 20.
Campers will be taught cheers, chants, jumps, dances, tumbling and stunts by the JMS Eagle Cheerleaders.
The registration fee is $40 per camper.
For more information, call 423-912-2255.
Campbell County High School's boys went 3-1 last weekend at a team basketball camp hosted by Grace Christian Academy.
The Cougars defeated the host team by six points, Scott County by 37 and Cleveland by four before falling to Webb by six in their final game of the camp on Saturday.
"I think it's really encouraging," Campbell County coach Matt Housley said.
"I've never seen a more unselfish group. It's crazy how excited I am about them."
Jellico High School boys' basketball coach Mike Reynolds has a tall order to fill while replacing college signees Cody Malicoat and Ethan Shelley.
The graduation of Malicoat and Shelley gutted the Blue Devils' inside game, but the coach may have found an able replacement for some of the team's scoring and rebounding duties. Jason Hale, a 6-foot-4 transfer from neighboring Whitley County, Ky., is trying to step into one of the two vacant post positions.
"He's raw right now, but he's got some ability," Reynolds said.
After graduating six seniors, the CCHS baseball team has some slots to fill. With about half the team comprised of returning players, nearly half are new players coming in from the middle school program. The summer program allows these incoming freshmen a chance to play high school baseball where the arrangement is always two 5-inning baseball games against local high school teams.
On May 30, CCHS played host to Gibbs High. Tate McGhee got the starting nod, and the incoming sophomore threw to one of the new faces, catcher Jared Ruan.
The Cougar Youth Football Camp for boys ages 6-15 is scheduled for June 11-12 at Campbell County High School from 6-9 p.m.
Coach Justin Price and the CCHS football staff will present the camp, which is designed to give athletes of all ages the basic fundamentals of football in a fun, positive environment.
Jellico High School baseball players Austin Bowlin and Brett Begluitti have been selected to the All-District 4-A Team by a vote of the league coaches.
Coach of the Year is Sean West of Oneida. Player of the Year is Logan Crisp, a senior outfielder from Oliver Springs.
Other superlatives include Slugger of the Year Brett Robinson from Wartburg; Defensive Player of the Year Matt Tinker, a senior catcher, from Oliver Springs; Pitcher of the Year Carey Gann from Oliver Springs; and Rookie of the Year Matt Williams, freshman pitcher/third baseman from Oneida.

My 11yo DD is having issues going to sleep at night. She wants to sleep with me and my husband every night. Here's how it got started: A little over a year ago, my husband left us. The separation devastated us both and we slept on the couch for weeks...then eventually slept in my bed together for months. It was comforting for me as well as for her, and it made bedtime much simpler and easier in a time when neither of us had much energy.
Eventually I tried to get her to start sleeping on her own: (1) I needed my own space, and (2) I felt it was better for her mental health...bedtimes were getting ridiculous. She couldn't go to sleep unless I went to bed at the same time, she had to have certain stuffed animals, she had to say "I love you" as her last words before she fell asleep. She seemed to be getting more and more emotionally insecure, so I thought some boundaries might help.
To start out, I told her she had to sleep on her own 1 day/week and she could pick the day. Then a few weeks later, I upped it to 2 days...and so on. This worked for a little bit, but it quickly became a source of stress as she had to figure out which day she'd be the most sad or scared. Our psychologist said I should just let her sleep with me as much as she wants, take the pressure off, etc., and she will eventually want to sleep on her own. We tried that...and it worked for a couple weeks. She slept on her own a few times when she wanted to...and then it was back in bed with mom every night for weeks.
Now, my husband is back in the picture. At first, he slept on the couch but now that we are working on our relationship fully, he is back in bed with me. This has escalated the situation. Her first thought when she was told that we were reconciling was that she wouldn't get to sleep with me anymore. She cares more about that than anything. We have told DD that she can sleep on the floor anytime she wants...and I told her I would also sleep in her bed with her every once in a while or stay in her room till she falls asleep (however, my husband doesn't really like it...he says we're enabling her emotional dependency). Like everything else we've tried, this worked for a while but in the past week, she's wanted to sleep in our room every night.
Here's what bedtime looks like...
She goes to bed at 8 and is allowed to read or watch TV until 9:30...we set this plan up because she thought it would help her to relax and be able to sleep on her own more easily. She is supposed to fall asleep by 9:30 but what happens more often is she stays awake and then comes in our room when we go to bed at 10 or 11. She cries almost every night when it's time for bed. She tells me that she hates bedtime more than anything in the world. I've tried to understand what the deep issues are...she says she's afraid of losing me, of something happening to me during the night...she doesn't think I would leave her like my husband did, but she's afraid I'll get hurt or die or something.
I guess my question for the forum is...what should I do? I can't figure out if this is something where I should take a firm stand and push her to sleep on her own...will that help her to become stronger emotionally or make her resentful and angry? Or if I should just let her continue sleeping with us when she needs to and tweak the bedtime routine (no TV, etc.)? Any advice is appreciated...sorry this is so long!
Have you considered a sleep therapist? We know a family who uses one for their daughter and it's actually made a big difference (and she's a very difficult case.) Might be worth talking to someone with that specialty for some new ideas.
I can't really offer any BTDT advice. My kids slept with us full-time until about 3. They would occasionally come in with us after but both stopped completely by 10. I will say, from our experiences with DS's eating issues, when they build up that much anxiety over an issue, it's next to impossible to "work" on it. I made the mistake for years of thinking if I stood firm, his issues would resolve... like he was just being picky or willful. It took a diagnosis (over-active gag reflex,) occupational therapy and the total opposite approach from me to actually turn things around for him in that regard. I think the "tough love" approach works for most "normal" issues but can backfire when there are physical or deep emotional issues at play.
I think an outside party would be really beneficial. I would stop the night-time TV ritual though. TV actually interferes with a good night's sleep. Book reading is a safer choice for someone who is struggling with sleep. Also, it might be better for her to not go to bed until bed-time. That 1.5 hours of laying in bed before one is ready to sleep can make settling down much more difficult.
Married mom, DD 18, DS 15, and a Valentine's surprise on the way!
I have a fairly simple solution, I think. It's not cold turkey, but I think it will help meet both your needs.
When it's bedtime (I think 8 is way too early for my kids, but you know yours best) you (mom) go tuck her in (and dad can definitely come and say good night, too, but since it's you she wants you have to be the main tucker-inner-er) and lie down with her in her bed until she goes to sleep. Then you get up and do what you need to do. Right now she doesn't feel secure and safe in her room so she doesn't want to sleep there alone. By lying down with her you're helping her feel safe and relaxed. My dd1 is very much like this and that's our usual routine, except a lot of times it's dad reading to her and dd2 and laying down with them until they fall asleep.
Be up front about it and let her know that you need a little more space in your bed, but that she is welcome to come in there if she really needs to or she can call for you and you'll come to her. Sometimes our kids come get in our bed in the middle of the night, but lots of times it's not until they wake up early in the morning and then they come in for snuggles.
I think what your dd is stuck on is being alone and anxious in her bed in her room by herself. If you can parent her to sleep there and let her know that it is OK if she comes to you in the night then she will be more relaxed and more likely to sleep through the night in her bed. If you tell her she has to stay there by herself and has to fall asleep by herself that sets up a situation that increases her anxiety more. By snuggling her to sleep and letting her know she can come see you in the night then you're relieving her anxiety and the more she sleeps in her bed in that relaxed atmosphere the more likely she will be to continue to do so and not need to come to your bed. She's anxious that she's going to be scared. If you can relieve that anxiety she's less likely to be scared. Once she's had success at sleeping in her own bed without being scared and anxious the more likely she is to do it again. If she's scared or anxious when she goes to bed the more likely she is to stay being scared of sleeping on her own. At least that's what works for us the best. Also being very tired (very active day, etc) helps a lot.
Other things that help — having a double bed for dd and a king bed for mom & dad, and mom & dad remembering to lock the door if they need a little privacy. Oh and one drawback, the parent that lies down with the kids tends to sometimes fall asleep with them, too, which is okay, but then you wake up an hour later squooshed and dazed.

Oil ends lower on U.S. trade spike; shale decline limits losses
By Ethan Lou
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Oil prices settled down on Monday, weighed by oversupply concerns, with a spike in trade volume driving U.S prices below $50, but losses were limited amid a projected drop in American shale output.
Trades in U.S. crude futures contracts soared to 12,932 barrels during the minute of 9:35 a.m. EDT (1335 GMT), the highest since Oct. 13, as traders sold off contracts ahead of their Oct. 20 expiry date.
Prices rose slightly in the afternoon, as U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) showed shale oil production was expected to fall by 30,000 barrels per day (bdp) in November.
International benchmark Brent crude LCOc1 fell 43 cents, or 0.8 percent, from the last settlement to close at $51.52 per barrel, after hitting a session low of $51.16 a barrel.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) closed at $49.94 per barrel, down 41 cents, or 0.8 percent, after hitting a session low of $49.47.
Analysts said traders had accumulated a high number of long positions, and were looking to sell ahead of their contracts' expiry date as the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission limits the number they can hold.
"There was a huge net speculative long position," said Kyle Cooper, analyst at ION Energy in Houston. "You do have to get out of positions."
Data from energy monitoring service Genscape showed a draw in crude stockpiles at the storage hub in Cushing, Oklahoma. Continued...


text: I first recommend HSTs but Gold Dots are also excellent. HSTs are designed to expand to 2x their original diameter. Because of their bonded construction, GDs are going to give a little bit less expansion and slightly deeper penetration. Both have very high to complete weight retention in ballistics tests I have seen. You won't go wrong with either choice.

Devo Guitarist Bob Casale Has Passed
Devo guitarist Bob Casale has died. Casale's brother Gerald tells TMZ Bob passed away suddenly on Monday citing, "health complications that led to heart failure." He was 61. Both Bob and Gerald were founding members of Devo, the post-punk new wave outfit known for the hit 1980 song "Whip It." Gerald describes his "level-headed" brother as "a solid performer" and a "talented audio engineer, always giving more than he got."
Devo was formed in 1972. The band's last album, "Something for Everyone" was released in 2010.

Diamond Braid 300yds 80lb Brown - 300yds
by Momoi
Price: $40.49
TD Code
|Lb Test
|Hollow Core
|Spool Size
|Tobacco Brown
Diamond Braid incorporates the latest braiding techniques which improve strength at diameter, 3% stretch and bonded color-fastness that prevent flaking or fading. This process produces a round line that ensures greater reel capacity, decreased twist, distance casting and longer fishing life. Diamond Braid's perfect roundness allows tighter spool winding, prevents line from "knifing" through spools and significantly improves knotting performance. Diamond Braid is also a hollow core from 80lb through 200lb - perfect for splicing.

Smooth and strong
March 22, 2017
First time user of Momoi Diamond braid. I am very impressed of how smooth and strong this line is. Very long casts, no wind knots and also the knots connections I tried (San Diego jam, Bimini twist and Bristol knot) handles very well.
ProsPrice is right, strong, long casts, smooth and the blue looks very good on my Saragosa 20000

best braid ive used
July 6, 2016
this braid is the best i have used so far. ive tried spiderwire, power pro, and suffix. hands down the best performing line ive used. i purchased the 50# blue for my lure hucking setup as well as my ocean and catfish setups. very strong, no color fade, and easy to tie with. some people said its louder than power pro, but i didnt notice any difference. very smooth casting. i can see why this line was so highly recommended.
Prosno color fade, strong, easy to tie, i love the color
Consnow i want to spool everything with it :(

January 22, 2014
I've been using this braid for bottom fishing for several years now without any problem whatsoever. The color stays true and the line holds a Albright Knot to florocarbon with ease. I've never had this line break off nor has it ever tangled, twisted or caused any fish to be lost due to line issues. i would recommend this line to any saltwater angler looking for a good braided line.
ProsExcellent knot retention, no fraying in structure, easily spooled on any reel conventional or spinning.

Second Car Found in Santa Fe River in Less Than a Month Raises Eyebrows
Published October 16th, 2013
Loading Video...
FORT WHITE, FL. - Law enforcement believes the circumstances are fishy, but a submerged sedan apparently isn't uncommon this time of year.
Nevertheless Fort White residents were shocked by what a team of Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office investigators hauled in Wednesday morning along the Santa Fe River.
Initial information seems to show the vehicle, a late model Honda Accord was stolen.
Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office Lieutenant Jeff Manning says, "at the time we got here, we got the information on the plate it had not been entered in as stolen, they were in the process of doing that it was my understanding out of Lake City and through the Columbia County Sheriff's Office."
Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office investigators say, the vehicle found this morning marks the second stolen vehicle removed from the river this month.
Witnesses say the car was in neutral when it was removed from the river, which led them to believe it was pushed in and abandoned.
The Sheriff's Office has not ruled out the possibility that both vehicles were stolen by the same person.

GIS Love Fest
San Diego -- Government GIS technicians recently traveled to the San Diego Convention Center for the 28th annual ESRI User Conference. ESRI representatives were eager to clarify the difference between ESRI's "professional-strength GIS" and "consumer viewers of geography," like Google Earth and Virtual Earth.
"Our presentation technologies, though they overlap with the consumer-focused ones, and can be used for consumer types of presentations, also enable people to connect directly to their GIS assets," said Bernie Szukalski, ArcGIS product manager of ESRI.
Those assets would be stores of information about the various locations on the government's map it can use to plan projects.
Special Achievement in GIS (SAG) awards went to several state and local agencies. The California Resources Agency got accolades for its project that lets citizens track where bond money had gone and how it was being used. Westchester County, N.Y., won a SAG award for Green Maps, its Web site directing citizens to the various green public and private projects happening in the county. Examples would be cell phone-recycling drop off locations, retailers focusing on environmentally friendly products and green education centers.
State and Local IT Officials Gather
Denver -- Several state and local government IT officials were on hand for the Center for Digital Government's Executive Summit, an event for agencies to interact with vendors. Vivek Kundra, chief technology officer (CTO) of Washington, D.C., boasted about his "stock portfolio" approach to managing IT projects. Traditional financial managers monitor those projects and report on them the way they would about Wall Street stocks. Kundra and Adrian Fenty, mayor of Washington, D.C., then analyze a stock-like portfolio of those projects, deciding which to keep or dump.
Peter Cooper, CTO of El Paso County, Texas, shared insight on his efforts to combine numerous agencies within El Paso County on one energy-efficient data center.
"Right now we have computer rooms. We do not have data centers. Computer rooms are old closets down in basements and in conference rooms," Cooper said.
The county is still exploring how to consolidate all of the agencies.
Molly Rauzi, city and county CIO of Denver discussed her role in preparing for the August Democratic National Convention in Denver.
"We created a backup 911 center. It was a matter of putting in the computers, telephones and things like that for the new Office of Emergency Management. A lot of these are things the city needed to do anyway," Rauzi said.

This book explores China's place in the new international order, from both the international perspective and from the perspective within China.
It discusses how far the new international order, as outlined by George Bush in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the liberation of Kuwait in the Gulf War, with its notions of international order, as viewed by the United States, and with the United States seeing itself as the single dominant power, applies to China. The contributors offer the implications, both positive and negative, of China's growing economic power, and the possibility that China will increase its military power. They also examine the idea that the Chinese leadership is being carried along itself by events in China, which it does not fully control, and that other growing forces within China, such as nationalism, increasing social grievances, structural instability, and rivalry between the centre and the regions potentially work against China's growing strength in the international arena. Considering traditional Chinese notions of international power, where the world is seen as sino-centric, with neighbouring countries subservient to China in varying degrees, the book argues that this represents a fundamentally different view of the international order, one where the equal sovereignty of every state does not apply, where there is an acknowledged hierarchy of power, and where domestic and international issues are highly interdependent.

Rabbis Speak

- Reform Responsa
- Platforms
- CCAR Journal: The Reform Jewish Quarterly

- RavKav
- RavBlog
Resolution Adopted by the CCAR
Urban Crisis
Adopted by the 104th Annual
Convention of
sage Hillel taught: Al tifrosh min hatzibbur
--do not separate yourself from the
the Central Conference of American Rabbis
Montreal, Quebec, June 1993
Sadly, our every day reality mocks that teaching. For many years, but even more in the last decade, our nations have turned away from their cities with inevitable results: Separation and degradation in our urban areas. Many have fled and abandoned our cities; governments have radically reduced funding for infrastructure, public education, social services, income support, health care, economic development, housing and more. Crime, violence, illicit drugs, illiteracy, family breakdown, and unemployment have increased. Too many residents of our cities live without hope.
The CCAR has not ignored these issues in the past. We have addressed through resolutions and actions these critical issues: economic justice, hunger, child abuse and neglect, civil rights and racism, unemployment, discrimination in housing, crime, personal security, eradication and amelioration of poverty, health care, welfare reform and income maintenance, and substance abuse. We commit ourselves anew to act upon the challenge of these resolutions.
Yet we have witnessed the continuing decay and deterioration of our urban communities, increasing violence, and growing despair of families. Moreover. too many of our congregants who have left the cities no longer feel responsibility or connection to urban problems. We cannot, however, separate ourselves from these problems. Those in the cities, those who have left, and those who depend on the cities for their livelihood all share a common community, with its challenges and its future.
THEREFORE, the Central Conference of American Rabbis calls upon:
1. The United States administration, Congress and the government of Canada to give the urban crisis a high priority on their national agendas;
2. The Commission on Social Action to place the urban crisis high on our Movement's agenda, and
3. Our congregations to undertake programs that educate and involve our congregants in the rebuilding of our cities and restoring of hope and opportunity in our urban communities.

(x-post from NASIOC, maybe it'll see some more skilled eyes here).
I got myself a TiC klunk killer package - I can't wait to get it on!
I started tonight, leaving myself a nice 2.5 hour window during which to complete the install, figuring that would be enough even if I ran into trouble.
Little did I know, it was going to take me an hour just to get the damn first nuts off! Everything under my car is covered in rust - my swaybars are getting smaller by the day, the catback is hanging on by a few threads, etc. Oh yeah, and bolts... they are not much more easily removed than welds would be at this point.
Following the directions here: http://turninconcepts.com/instructio...ngs/index.html , I got to step three, where I removed those nuts (which were burning hot with the friction it took to remove). I figured I'd probably be in the clear by then, thinking that the rest can't possibly be worse. After 15 minutes of wd40 and scraping, I finally got the nuts ONTO the threads for those studs. I then started tightening them down (much to the dismay of my muscles), but I only it so far down the stud - one nut rounded to the point where the 12-point end on my wrench won't grip it anymore, and I absolutely gave up on the other one. I have no idea how to continue, as simply trying to run the studs out is an even more impossible task, it would seem.
wtf do I do? I obviously can't drive around like this. I'm going to have to get replacement bolts, nuts, etc. (from the subie dealer I guess?), but how can I possibly remove them from the car as it is now? There's not really enough room to get air tools in there, and besides - I don't have an air supply, let alone those tools. I'm up to work, just not more of this pointless rust-wrangling. I'd really like a step-by-step on how to remove these bolts and studs, and what parts I should replace while I'm there. Some tips on how to continue with the rest of the steps so more crap like this doesn't happen would be wildly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Uganda's 2009 mineral exports earnings seen edging up
By Elias Biryabarema
KAMPALA (Reuters) - Uganda expects to earn about $55 million from its mineral exports this year, higher than $52.7 million in 2008, a government official said.
The east African nation's mining sector is viewed as underexploited with small scale miners mainly involved in gold and cobalt, the leading mineral exports. Earnings from the resources reached a high of $88 million in 2007.
Uganda recently completed mapping 80 percent of the country and the geological data obtained is already spurring increased investor interest in the sector, Joshua Tuhumwire, head of the department of geological survey and mines, told Reuters.
"There is an increase in the number of companies taking up exploration licenses. The number of licenses currently is about 500 from 360 one year ago," Tuhumwire said in an interview late on Friday.
The lingering impact of the global economic crisis was stifling investments in Uganda's mining sector, he said.
"Exploration investment funds are raised on stock markets mainly in Toronto, London, Vancouver, New York, Australia and others," he said. "With the economic downturn... exploration spending has gone down remarkably, and Uganda has been no exception."
A three-year geophysical survey whose findings were released in July showed Uganda has sizeable deposits of a variety of minerals including phosphates, collumbite tantalite, chromite, diamond, gold, tin and wolfram.
Uganda was a major exporter of copper in the 1960s, from the vast deposits at Kilembe mine on the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains in the country's southwestern region. Continued...
