Amherst College
Men's Basketball
> Jeffs Take Opener at Mass. College
Zieja's 25 Points Spark Season-Opening Win at Mass. College
November 28, 2000
NORTH ADAMS, MA - Sophomore guard Stephen Zieja (Hadley, MA) poured in a game-high 25 points on 8-for-13 shooting as Amherst College overcame a five-point deficit with under eight minutes remaining to take its season opener, 83-76 at Mass. College (2-2) on Tuesday.
The Jeffs led 41-35 at the half but watched a hot-shooting Mass. College club come storming out of the locker room with a 32-21 run, capped by a Bobby Fortes 3-pointer with 7:49 remaining. Down 67-62, Amherst responded with a run of its own, tying the game 73-73 at the 3:00 mark on the strength of a pair of clutch 3-pointers by Zieja and rabid defense by first-year guard Adam Harper (Washington, DC), holding the Mohawks to just one field goal in the final two minutes. The Jeffs then sealed the win from the free throw line, as Mass. College was forced to foul in the waning seconds.
"It was a great win for us, although we were at a disadvantage opening on the road against a team with three games under its belt," said Amherst Head Coach Dave Hixon. "We shot our free throws well down the stretch and Harper caused a few key turnovers, which really helped us get over the hump."
Amherst was 24-for-37 overall from the charity stripe and sank more free throws than Mass. College attempted (10-for-17). Zieja was a perfect 7-for-7 from the line while senior guard Brian Daoust (Dover, MA) - who finished with 20 points on the strength of four 3-pointers - was 6-for-8.
Sophomore center Patrick Fitzsimons (Durham, NC) added a team-high nine rebounds to go along with eight points off the bench for the Jeffs.
Amherst hosts Clark University Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at LeFrak Gymnasium.

SABULA, Iowa — Sabula Police Chief Josh Kilburg has recovered eight of the parade rifles stolen this week from the Sabula American Legion.
Kilburg arrested Bradley Widener, 26, of Clinton in connection with the theft. Widener admitted taking the rifles and told the chief, he already sold six of the rifles in the Clinton area, Kilburg said.
The chief said he received a tip about the theft of the rifles, and he stopped Widener's vehicle at 11 p.m. Thursday on Driscoll's Island near Sabula. He found eight of the parade guns in the vehicle. He valued them at $650 apiece or a value of $5,200 for the guns in the vehicle.
On Tuesday, a member of the Sabula American Legion reported the back door had been kicked in and 14 M-1 parade rifles were stolen. Sheriff Russ Kettmann said most of the rifles had been disabled and could not fire, but they are collector's items.
Also found in the car were syringes with methamphetamine and hydrocodone.
Widener is in Jackson County Detention Center facing charges of third-degree burglary, exercise control over stolen property, possession of a controlled substance, driving while license suspended and possession of drug paraphernalia.

To want MILs dog to stay in the kitchen.(83 Posts)
A few months ago mils dog lunged at our ds (2) when he fell on the floor at her house.
It was only quick reflexes and good fortune that the dog didnt get his jaws round his face
Since then we have insisted that the dog is locked in the kitchen when we visit. The dog doesnt like this and yelps and barks and tries to get out becoming quite distressed, so MIL goes and sits in the kitchen with it...so needless to say our visits are getting shorter . After receiving some excellent ideas for keeping the dog calm here, we suggested them to MIL who just wants to keep sitting in there with it.
At the weekend we went to visit and the dog started whimpering again, as we were packing up dh suggested that maybe next time the dog could come in as long as ds sat on dh lap. I was .
For a start how can ds at 2 be relied on to sit still on dhs lap, why should he feel afraid??? Most of all I just cant trust that dog. I just cant. So AIBU to refuse, to stick to my guns and say, if its not in the kitchen we are NOT visiting with ds.
YANBU. I would do exactly the same!
YANBU. Stick to your guns. Your DH is daft. Your MiL is daft for worrying about a dog when a baby is at risk.
Yanbu. My MIL's dog is fucking insane, and I have a 16mo. I love dogs, but once the dog lunges at DD to "play", I physically move the dog into the kitchen myself.
Yanbu, you just can't take the risk and anyone else that can't see that is bonkers.
YANBU. I know the dog brigade on here would disagree, but I'd have refused to take DC back until the dog was either rehomed or put down.
Can you ask her to come round to you?
I wouldn't be letting that dog anywhere near your DC, it sounds nuts. YANBU.
My PIL had two very well trained, docile dogs. One of them was elderly (hence the 'had' - it has died of old age now).
My DS, aged 2 and a bit, was crawling up and down the hall with his twin sister, when the very well behaved and docile dog lunged at DS and pinned him to the floor with her jaws open wide around DS's face. This was all within 6foot of PIL, DH and me, so definitely not unattended, and she showed no signs of irritation before she lunged at him.
In hindsight (and boy do you relive it over and over), she was annoyed at these two boisterous 'puppies' in her space, and she put one of them in his place in the pack. She was an elderly Golden Retriever, with a soft mouth, and she didn't intend to hurt him, just tell him off for annoying her. Of she'd wanted to bite him she most certainly could have.
PIL made sure that the dog was locked in the kitchen/garage whenever we visited, until the dog died. I made a point of taking DS in to see the dog every visit as I didn't want him to be scared of the dog (I scooped him up from the 'attack' and tickled him, making it all into a joke that the dog had tickled him at the time too), but we respected the fact that the elderly dog didn't have the patience for toddlers in her space.
Please do keep your DS and the dog apart. You never know the moment, and the consequences are so big it's really not worth the risk.
Thank you. I just can't believe he'd put the happiness of his mum's dog/mum, above his own child....
I'm guessing the suggestions included giving the dog a stuffed Kong or bone or anything else it would enjoy that will keep it occupied and happy while it is in the kitchen?
Is your MIL enjoying being a martyr? (cynic)
I have a huge, boisterous Labrador, when one of my DD's friends comes for a sleepover a complicated system of baby gates keeps them apart because she's nervous of dogs. If we can do this for a ten year old I'm blowed if I get why IL's can't be flexible for a toddler. UANBU, IL's are.
Your OH and MIL are idiots. Yanbu. Not AT ALL!
The solution to this problem is to train the dog to accept being put in the kitchen for short periods of time and building it up over time. It needs to be started small and when there are no visitors and built up gradually in the same way you would with separation anxiety in a dog being left home alone. Then try doing it with visitors/noise/distractions once it is happy with the concept of the shut door.
Somehow though, I get the impression that MIL is never going to do that in a million years! Stupid woman cannot see that it is in the best interests of not only her grandchild but the dog too to be left in the kitchen.
As for OH, I have little respect for someone who would rather keep the peace than his child safe. Grrrrrrrr.
YANBU - but good luck.
MIL's dog bit me last Christmas, entirely unprovoked (although I was offering it a piece of MIL's turkey which could be considered a weapon - but that's another thread) and I ended up having to go to hospital and have extensive tests on my eyes as it punctured my eye lid.
Do you think I can get DP or PIL's to see my issue with visiting (they live 8 hours away so we/they always have to stay a few days) not a chance in hell - they think I'm over reacting, so these visits cause me huge amounts of stress and unhappiness as I spend the entire time helicoptering over DD to ensure her safety
Stick to your guns.
DH is being daft, MIL is being even dafter!
Sitting in the kitchen with the dog??! Good grief.
Let sanity prevail and say the mutt stays in the kitchen.
(really sorry to hear your DH is pandering to his mum actually)
MTB did you have a thread about that? I think i remember it! Poor you.
What is wrong with some dog owners?
I don't think you are being unreasonable.
OTOH, how is your DS around dogs now? If he is scared of them, I think you should work on minimising that and teaching him how to be safe around dogs - not just your MILs dog, all dogs.
In fact OP i'd have a toys out of the pram moment over this and say that you wont risk your DC being bitten and if she's going to be sat in the kitchen with the dog then there's no point in taking her GC over at all! Ever!
<not constructive, but ... bloody hell>
YANBU and your MIL is being quite irresponsible by not training this dog properly. I am a huge dog lover, but I would not allow this dog near my children. Your MIL is not doing the dog any favours at all by sitting in the kitchen with the dog and is, in fact, nurturing this unstable behaviour.
Stand firm. There is no way this dog should have any contact with a small child. If your MIL is prepared to work on the dog's training, then maybe this could change in the future, but it does not sound like she really acknowledges that the dog has any issues.
tell them that the dog can come back in as long as it has a muzzle on?
Is this the only issue with MIL? Does DH generally put her needs and feelings ahead of yours?
I would definitely try to get her to visit you rather than you going there, and make the visits less frequent and shorter, or cut them out completely if MIL isn't really seeing you at all but just sitting with the dog.
I would have blasted DH over this.
YANBU. We have a lovely, gentle, huge, family friendly Labrador that we brought home, as a puppy, when ds3 was 3 months old. They have grown up together and the dog has never shown any signs that he is not completely happy with this. I still have the dog outside or in the kitchen if ds3 (7) is playing alone. They are only together when dh or I are with them. When other children visit the dog goes outside (kennel and run)
Better safe than sorry.
YANBU. My lovely old dog was a right softy, but got relegated to the kitchen behind a baby gate as soon as ds became mobile. They ended up firm friends in the end, but that was a mild mannered old plodder of a gun dog who knew he had to behave. Your mil has got to control her dog, its a basic safety issue. A muzzle might be an idea, I used to muzzle my old dog when I groomed his coat as a precaution. You can get soft canvas type muzzles which stop them opening their jaws to bite .... might be a compromise?
The sensible thing to do in this situation is for your MIL to get a (decent!) behaviourist out and for the dog to wear a muzzle when your child is about. There's no reason at all for a muzzle to be seen as a negative thing.
That said, I don't really blame your MIL for sitting with the dog in the short time. Regardless of the dogs behaviour, it's quite cruel to leave an anxious dog shut away on its own and surely if its making that much noise it must be impossible to ignore and have a conversation over anyway? It's obviously not a long term solution though.
It astounds me how blind some owners are about their wonderful pet dogs who'd never harm anyone.....
Your DH is an idiot, if he thinks he can control a 2 year old, and hes a bigger idiot if he thinks the dog wouldnt go for your DS, whilst on his lap, dog has attacked once, putting it back in the mix with your DS, will make it think it can do it again, and it could be fatal next time. You never give a dog a second chance.
yanbu - just don't visit mil house as she puts the dog as more important than the child. She needs to rehome it so she can have her grandchild round. I have a dog and this is the best thing to do if she's not in charge of the dog and it has lunged for your child.

hi, guys…sorry, it's been a while since my last update, and i have a backlog of stuff to post…
here are some photos from a gem of a destination in northwest Argentina, in the Salta region. these are photos from a small mountain stream called the Rio Dorado where my friends have access to some private property in the Yungas. the Salta region is a great dorado fishing destination for those who happen to be in Argentina for other reasons. making a full week is difficult here, even in combination with the Rio Juramento nearby. you have to plan very carefully the time of year you come and lower your expectations, as there are many variables that go into a successful trip in this area (weather, timing, etc.). one great combination you can do is to go visit the wine country near Cafayate or go up to Purmamarca for sight seeing, as we did on this trip, so as not to make the entire trip focused only on fishing.
some years ago, due to a big flood, a whole bunch of dorado entered the system from below, and when the waters receded, the dorado remained. today, the pools in this river have many dorado from 10-20 pounds, since they are protected from poachers, being well within private property. at barely 100 CFS during the normal season, the fishing can be tricky at times, especially with the river being so low and clear with so many dorado packed in there, so a stealth approach is required (sometimes, it's actually better to fish for them immediately after a heavy rain when the water is muddy).
on this particular trip, i was with Frank and Chantz Butler and Jeff Clarkson from Texas. we were fishing with Agustin Garcia, Sebastian Zavalia and Ignacio de Freijo, who run a company called Fly Fishing Salta. they are a very professional outfit and know every single inch of this river. we took horses on parts of it, mainly just to cover more water each day. with the river so clear, once you spook a pool, you have to move on to the next. the best way to fish this river is to camp, since the roads coming in can be blown out when it rains.
fishing was very typical for Rio Dorado. when it's crazy, it can be crazy…otherwise, you are looking at 3-4 hookups per person per day on a normal good day. obviously, this depends on how much water you cover and how many mistakes you make, but as with dorado, you could easily get skunked on any given day as well. dorado are very sensitive to sudden changes in water temperature, and recent rains had cooled the water temperatures, and thrown their feeding cycle off a bit, but every one of us had a double digit fish.
to book a trip, please email me.
cheers! photos © Joey Lin and Agustin Garcia

This came across the wire today:
CLEVELAND (AP) Former Washington manager Manny Acta is getting a second interview with the Cleveland Indians.
Acta, fired by the Nationals in July, will meet with Indians owner Paul Dolan, general manager Mark Shapiro and other front-office personnel on Tuesday at Progressive Field. The Indians said Acta will be available to the media afterward.
Acta was one of 8 to 10 candidates the team interviewed by phone last week. The team has not revealed the names of any of its managerial candidates.
The Indians are bringing as many as five finalists to Cleveland for second interviews. Acta, 40, went 158-252 in two-plus seasons for the Nationals. He was fired after the team started 21-61 last season.
Names that aren't on the list, according to Pluto: Mike Hargrove, Yankees bench coach Tony Pena, Buck Showalter, and Phil Garner.
He did add this though: "Hargrove could end up being a bench coach if the team hires a younger manager."

I highly recommend these guys first class work and an excellent team. On time as promised and very respectful in all ways.
Sisi Property Ltd came to tile my shower at the drop of hat. First impressions were that they seemed a little slow, it quickly became apparent that they were in fact perfectionists.The end result was genuinely outstanding and I am delighted with their work. True craftsmen.They took their time because they were meticulous; not slow.The job manager was excellent, polite and friendly; and while the tilers were brilliant, I'd suggest John learns 'hello', 'thank you' and how to crack a smile though ;)
I rarely leave feedback on these forums, but these guys really deserve it. Our kitchen tiling and painting was done to an excellent standard. Our decorator put dust sheets on everything, taped up areas so nothing was painted that shouldn't have been. He hoovered, and placed everything back that he'd moved at the end of each day. He even sent us photos of progress! Would highly recommend and be happy to ask them to come back in the future. Thank you!

Press Packer Miles decided to unearth the history of his local community, and found out some pretty shocking stuff.
Here's his story.
"I think that people need to start being more interested in their local community and its history.
I live in a town called Horsforth in Leeds and when I looked into it, I found some really interesting stories.
Village secret
In our town we have a little museum that's built in the old house of the local priest.
There are so many interesting facts in there.
One thing I found that was pretty cool was a report of a local murder which happened just outside where my house is!
It happened 150 years ago.
World War II
There's also a really cool memorial stone talking about how our town helped out in World War Two.
The town held several fund raising events to raise money for a boat which helped detect German U-boats.
The boat our town supported even caught the submarine which had the code books for cracking the German communication code... how cool is that?
Community stories
I think that people should start caring about their local community more and realise that where ever you go, you'll find an interesting story somewhere in its history.
It could be the birth place of a celebrity or even the town that invented sheep-racing!
I don't know, but what I do know is that it is OK to know about and to care for your local community.
You never know, you might just discover something amazing.
My tips
If you want to know how to find out what stories your local community has, why don't you try my tips...
1. Most local libraries have a local history section. Pay a visit and see what they have.
2. Get to know your neighbours, especially the elderly ones. They have a wealth of stories and local knowledge.
3. Go for walk and look at the local buildings, it's amazing what you can discover.
4. See if you have a local museum. They may be small but they are packed with information.
Miles, 12, West Yorkshire, England
Why don't you write us a Press Pack report - and get it published on the site!
It can be about anything that's happened in your local area - or your views on the news.

One of the three? Tical-albums by Mr Meth aka Johnny Blaze.... good one, got some pop skillz but for me the original Tical-album (his solo-debut) got some mor special tracks. On the other hand you have to admit, that this albums is better produced.... if you didn`t got anything before also try out the famous Blackout album where meth & red are throwing some real punches!

text: Project Description The Twister is a nine-unit, three story apartment building. Modest sized units feel grand thanks to efficient floor plans, double height spaces and neutral finishes. The long bar connected to a short bar with transparent circulation core parti cleverly allows each apartment to have multiple exposures. Top units have double height spaces and private outdoor terraces. By lifting the building a half story above street grade and providing thick masonry walls with deep window sills, a feeling of privacy is maintained despite large expanses of glass. The context of the site is varied; brick garden apartments border historic Victorian row homes. The building's white façade with primary colored panels are reminiscent of the classic children's game which inspired the nickname "Twister" by local residents. The building's modern aesthetic also adds a "twist" to its historic district context, successfully encouraging community discussion and architectural diversity in a once conservative city.

Evolution Hoax
The entire list
A9 TV: August 4th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: This is a war of love. If we show our brothers that we love them more, than it will be over. It is all about love. If they talk with an official and arrogant tone of voice and slight them and say, "We are the statesmen who command you, your commanders have come" that would be very bad; but if they say, "Your servants have come. Your brothers who are also your servants have come, your Muslim brothers have come. You are perfect Muslims. You're the descendants of Salāh ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb (Saladin) and Bediüzzaman" then the PKK cannot obtain any results. It is all about love.
December 23rd, 2013: A9 TV
ADNAN OKTAR: Anyone could commit a sin. Anyone could do wrong. It is wrong to consign [them] to perdition. They are also Muslim. They are also our brothers. If he did it, he must repent. Allah, insha'Allah, forgives those who repent. Muslims must be forgiving and merciful. If we damn everyone who did wrong, there would not be any human being left on the face of the Earth.
Those who steal, who rob or steal, all of them: After all, these are human beings. We will pray for them. We will pray that Allah corrects them and gives them faith. We will strive for their well-being. If they did something wrong, they can do time in jail but they would never cease to be a Muslim. They can do three years or five years time in jail, no matter how long. They can be released from prison but they are still Muslims. They perform their prayers and become a person useful to Islam and Muslims.
December 24th, 2013: A9 TV
ADNAN OKTAR: In any case, he must pray for goodness. If a man stole something, we can't say, "We hope that his house burns to the ground." We can't consign him to perdition. He is put on trial according to the law. Even if he goes to prison, we would like him to perform his prayers and learn about Islam. We need to win people over. Even if he is a person who committed evil deeds, Almighty Allah says, "Be good to those who do evil to you and you will see that they will become your friends." It is a very well- known verse, and Muslims apply this in their lives day and night.
ADNAN OKTAR: No one is defending graft. No one ever could. Is Mr. Tayyip saying, "Yes, I am defending graft"? On the contrary, he is confronting the situation. This is his top priority ever since he came to office; stopping corruption and graft. There could be people from his family, relatives and acquaintances and such who have committed crimes and in the future this could happen also. But it would be wrong to blame the government for this.
November 24th, 2013: EnSon Haber
After arriving from his visit to Pakistan, Prime Minister Erdogan has given a speech at the Ankara Esenboga Airport:
"The prayers of Bosnia, Cairo, Baghdad, Myanmar and tearful elders with yashmak with the 76 million people are sufficient for us. I say damnation to malediction and invite all to pray. In this path, we come along to these days by being a servant to nation, not by being a master. I say it clearly and openly. If there is anyone who cheats the nation of his rights, we will discover it . The main opposition party shall not call to account. Ambushers don't know that. There isn't a powerful conspiracy other than the conspiracy of community and God."


text: Doctor Who: Help send a real-life TARDIS into space A new Kickstarter campaign plans to launch a real-life replica of the Doctor's time machine into orbit to coincide with the 50th anniversary Comments Written By Susanna Lazarus 11:51 AM, 07 June 2013 Before you ask, yes, this is really happening. In a case of life imitating art, a team of Doctor Who fans have built a TARDIS satellite and are now raising money to get it into space in conjunction with the sci-fi series' 50th anniversary on 23 November 2013. Using the Kickstarter crowfunding scheme, which recently raised backing for the new Veronica Mars movie, a father and daughter team have constructed a TARDIS satellite, complete with its blinking blue light, to send into Low Earth Orbit - the altitude at which we find the International Space Station. Using the payload bay of a commercial rocket, the trio of dedicated Whovians need a sum of $33,000 to send their creation into orbit - and they're offering backers a host of Doctor Who-related treats as a thank you. Pledge $5 and your name will be entered onto a hard drive that will be housed within the TARDIS's doors and travel into space when it launches. Donate $25 and your name and a tweet-sized message can be added. Put up $45 and you become the lucky owner of a snazzy "KEEP CALM AND ORBIT ON" t-shirt and poster, plus a blueprint of the TARDIS satellite. Pledge over $300 and you have up to 5MB of space to upload as much content as you wish to the TARDIS's memory. The entire project is to be filmed for a short documentary, mentioning all the backers in a special thank you message at the end and keen supporters can also keep abreast of the TARDIS's progress when photos taken from inside the satellite are uploaded onto a dedicated website. Funding for the ambitious project opened on 30 May and with 22 days to go, over $21,000 has already been donated. If the team raise anything above their goal, they've promised to make the TARDIS bigger, with $382,000 needed to launch a full-sized replica. So, if you fancy having a hand in sending a real-life version of the Doctor's time machine into orbit, follow this link to their Kickstarter page and stump up some cash.

Broome's "black market" bins are such a problem, the shire has turned to high-tech devices to deal with it.
Some locals have been buying unauthorised bins and putting them out to be emptied alongside their shire-issued bins.
Shire of Broome president Graeme Campbell told Fairfax Media said these "black market" bins were also bought by residents to replace their stolen or damaged shire bins.
Waste coordinator Jeremy Hall said drivers had noticed more bins than usual were getting emptied and a system needed to be put in place to identify "legitimate" bins.
Shire bins will now be fitted with radio frequency identification tags.
Mr Hall said only bins with the correct serial numbers belonging to the shire would be tagged.
There are approximately 14,000 shire bins to be tagged, at a cost of about $300,000.
The tags are about the size of a 10 cent piece and are picked up by the garbage truck's radio scanner, alerting workers to which bin is to be emptied.
"It [also] tells us which property it should be at and what type of bin it is, such as a recycle bin or waste bin," Mr Hall said.
Those that were not tagged would not be emptied.
While the council replaces bins due to reasonable wear and tear, it is at a cost of $106.

Western Counties North
Midsomer Norton 11 North Bristol 12
NORTH BRISTOL celebrated their second away win on the bounce by the narrowest of margins at Midsomer Norton.
Their last league Match at Midsomer Norton was almost 20 years ago when in October 1994 they triumphed 16-21 with Derek Miles and Nick Tatum claiming the tries.
The latest game was played in a strong gale force wind, blowing across the pitch towards the clubhouse, which made kicking for both sides almost impossible.
North were quickest out of the traps and scored in the first ten minutes. A good lineout take from Joe Page saw the pack rumble towards the line where hooker Tony Booth finished what he started, with his first try for the club in League rugby.
Dan Snow slotted a superb touchline conversion despite the wind and North had the early 7-0 lead.
Play was always going to be scrappy due to the conditions and Norton came back with two penalty kicks of their own to reduce the arrears to 6-7 at the break. North's strong runners Ross Wilson, Max Sheppard and Alex Featherstone carried well but chances were few and far between and crucial final passes went to ground.
With the second half underway, North just had the elements in their favour.
From a home lineout ten metres out, good pressure from Page saw lively scrum half Phil Sterry grab the loose ball to claim a crucial try.
Snow's conversion was impossible from the touchline, this time due to the gale, but it was 6-12 after 45 minutes.
North Bristol knew they had to keep Norton penned back into their 22 and Sterry and Snow were on hand with some fine kicks to touch.
However, after 50minutes the heavens opened and both teams and spectators were lashed by the torrential rain which accompanied the strengthening gale. Not only did this make playing the game even harder but the pitch began to deteriorate and it became a slug fest in the mud.
North Bristol were forced into a re-shuffle when prop Alex Flannigan, who dominated the scrum, was forced off with a knee injury.
That allowed Steve Chappell on to the pitch where the veteran front-rower made his 100th League appearance for the club.
The home side enjoyed the lion's share of possession and North spent the final 20 minutes defending.
Here Wilson and skipper Chris Underwood stood out, making numerous tackles around the fringes.
In the final five minutes Norton were camped in North's 22, aided by seven consecutive penalties against them and a yellow card given to centre Jim Hitchman. Norton seemed certain to score and they did, but crucially it was ten metres in from touch.
With the conversion the final play of the game North Bristol held their breath as the kick was on target but could not beat the wind to the cross bar.
North Bristol scorers: Tries - Tony Booth, Phil Sterry; Conversions - Dan Snow.

January 28, 2013
Week in Review
» Third time's a charm: Roosevelt's Michael Mitchell became the third player in program history to reach 1,000 points for his career, doing so in a 65-45 win against Mead on Friday. Mitchell reached the threshold on his first shot, a 3-pointer in the first quarter.
» Off the schneid: Dayspring Christian Academy's boys basketball team won its first game of the season, beating still winless Union Colony 63-58 on Friday.
» Healthy Spartan: Emilio Martinez returned to the wrestling mat last week for Greeley West and has since compiled an 8-0 record, including the 126-pound title at the Top of The Rockies tournament at Centaurus High School in Lafayette on Saturday.
"There's not much you can do when you give up 6 inches in height and 50-60 pounds per player."
— Dick Laverty, Greeley West girls basketball coach on the Spartans' loss to Horizon on Tuesday.
» Monkey off their backs: The Valley girls basketball team beat Eaton 43-24 Tuesday, marking the first time the Vikings had topped the Reds since Feb. 9, 2007.
» Overtime thriller: University and Eaton battled well after the whistle, going into overtime before University won the Patriot League matchup 70-67 after trailing by 12 at halftime. The teams combined for 43 turnovers in a hard-nosed, defensive affair.
Weld's Big 5
Each week, The Tribune Sports staff ranks the five hottest teams at the moment, regardless of classification. These rankings are based on the sports desk's coverage and opinion only. This week, The Tribune looks at Girls basketball:
1. Pawnee
The Coyotes just continue winning. At 10-0, they've won 14 in a row dating back to the start of last year's Class 1A state tournament. Lately, it hasn't been close, as the Coyotes' closest games since the break were 14-point wins against Weldon Valley and Briggsdale.
2. Valley
Winners of eight straight and owners of a 10-2 record, including no losses in the 3A Patriot League, the Vikings are certainly in the league title conversation.
3. Windsor
The Wizards are 13-3 and have won seven straight. They're undefeated in 4A Tri-Valley play, topping their closest competitor in the standings, Erie, 46-35 Friday.
4. Prairie
A couple of tough losses to Caliche and Pawnee won't dampen the Mustangs' hopes to compete late into the season. They're 2-1 in 1A North Central League.
5. Roosevelt
The Rough Riders have won five of their last six and are certainly in the conversation when it comes to Tri-Valley teams to watch. They lost by just two against Windsor on Jan. 8.
» Game of the week
The Roosevelt Rough Riders boys basketball team has been itching for a rematch with Class 4A Tri-Valley leading Windsor. The Wizards topped Roosevelt 62-57 on Jan. 8 in Johnstown. Roosevelt has won five of its last six since that meeting and the teams have an identical, 6-1 Tri-Valley record.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Lindsey Graham says the U.S. should consider military action to defend U.S. troops if Pakistan's intelligence agencies continue supporting terrorists who are attacking American forces.
The South Carolina Republican says Pakistan is engaging in hostile acts against the U.S and Afghanistan, and that must stop.
Graham, who's on the Senate Armed Services Committee, says there will be a lot of bipartisan support in Congress if there's a decision that the U.S. must "elevate our response."
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, last week accused Pakistan's intelligence agency of backing extremists who attacked the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan and detonated a truck bomb that wounded scores of American soldiers.

The life and career of legendary stop-motion pioneer and monster maker Ray Harryhausen is revisited with the help of his fans and acolytes. James Cameron, Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson lend their voices to the tribute.
This career-spanning tribute to the stop-frame titan may be conventional in approach (a collection of talking heads) but gets by on the heavyweight bonces (Spielberg, Cameron, Jackson) shedding light on Harryhausen's enduring influence. The man himself emerges as a genial subject and the film is enlivened by stunning test footage and genius clips. There is trivia galore — the octopus from It Came From Beneath The Sea only had six tentacles to save budget — but it is wrapped up in interesting debates around visual effects craft and the future of spectacle.
A fascinating and loving look at one of cinema's true greats.

I have a broad chin, which doesn't bother me in and of itself. However, when I smile, the skin on the end makes my chin appear long, and it looks as if it's protruding. Is there a kind of surgery that will remove only that skin that bothers me so much, or will I have to go in for a full chin reduction (bone drilling and everything)?
Will Chin Reduction Help with Chin That Appears Long?
Doctor Answers 2
Cosmetic Procedure for Long Chin
Most commonly silicone chin implants are placed for weak, soft, or under projecting chins. Cosmetic chin surgery may be appropriate for patients with long or protruding chins, to reduce the jaw bone. Alternatively, if the chin appears long, broad, or protruding only on smiling, then Botox Cosmetic injections may be appropriate. Only after a comprehensive evaluation by a plastic surgeon can he/she determine the appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

It is unlikely that the skin would increase with smiling and therefore, I believe your problem is really due to a prominent jaw bone which may best be treated with surgery.

Thomas D. Hyde and Vina W. Hyde pledge $6 million to UMKC
Gift supports the Chancellor's Fund for Excellence
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) and the UMKC Foundation are pleased to announce a $6 million pledge from Thomas D. Hyde and Vina W. Hyde to support the Chancellor's vision for the University. This is the fourth largest gift to the University.
The future funds are unrestricted and can be used for the University's most compelling needs or for hiring, retaining or rewarding stellar faculty - among other uses. According to Chancellor Leo E. Morton, the funds will be held with the UMKC Foundation, which was formed in July 2009 to raise money above and beyond public tax dollars received from the state.
"I am overwhelmed by the receipt of this gift specifically designated for the Chancellor's Fund for Excellence," said UMKC Chancellor Morton. "We are grateful for the generosity and vision of people like Tom and Vina Hyde who are helping UMKC achieve its fullest potential."
"Foundation funds are to enhance new and existing programs," said Alan Atterbury, Chairman, UMKC Foundation. "This gift also allows our University to continue its momentum toward becoming Kansas City's model research university, as mentioned in the "Time to Get It Right" report."
Commissioned by the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation to look at higher education, the 2005 "Time to Get It Right" report offered recommendations for UMKC to become a model research university, including expanding its governance to include the community; strengthening its academic and civic leadership; and developing an institutional strategy.
Tom Hyde is an alumnus of the UMKC School of Law (1975) and 2004 UMKC Alumni Awards recipient. He also is a member of the UMKC Board of Trustees and the UMKC Foundation, where he is Chair of the Audit Committee, as well as a member of the Executive Committee. Tom is the retired Executive Vice President, Legal, Ethics, and Corporate Secretary of the Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and, prior to that, he was Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Raytheon Company, a Boston-based defense contractor.
Vina Hyde has a bachelor's degree in education from the University of Kansas and a master's degree in special education from Kansas State University. She was a teacher and most recently involved in the Board of Walton Arts Center of Fayetteville and the Girls on the Run of Benton County, Ark., a nonprofit prevention program established for third to fifth grade girls to instill self-esteem through "health education, life skills development, mentoring and physical training."
"Vina and I hope this gift will help ensure that Chancellor Morton and future chancellors are able to implement and fund projects that they deem to be vital to the continuing success of UMKC," said Tom Hyde.
This pledge to the Chancellor's Fund for Excellence contributes significantly to the $250 million launch of "The Campaign for UMKC."
"This gift provides future chancellors of UMKC many opportunities for success," said Murray Blackwelder, President, UMKC Foundation. "To have an endowed fund from which the chancellor can distribute funds for the good of the University will have a profound impact on UMKC for years to come."

|new CSA patches available for linux kernel 2.6.8

Hi guys, Attached below is my announcement letter to oss.sgi.com. A smiliar one will be sent to LKML. Correction to my English is appreciated! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I have broken up previously one big CSA kernel patch into four smaller ones: csa_io - collects io accounting data csa_mm - collects mm accounting data csa_eop - provides a hook to perform end-of-process accounting csa_module - builds csa loadable module The files can be found at usual place with the following file names: linux-2.6.8.csa_io.patch linux-2.6.8.csa_mm.patch linux-2.6.8.csa_eop.patch linux-2.6.8.csa_module.patch There is no functional change in this set of csa patches compared to the 2.6.7 patch linux-2.6.7.csa.patch. Patches csa_io, csa_mm, and csa_eop are independent to each other. You may apply any one of the three or all and would be able to build a functional kernel. However, data collected needs an agent to use it. The csa_module is one agent that takes advangtage of the feature and works with csa-2.0.0 or later rpm to report system accounting data of the host system. The csa_module patch requires all three accounting data patches to be fully functional. This set of csa patches have been tested with the pagg and job kernel patches to linux 2.6.8 kernel. The csa_module requires the pagg and job kernel patches. Feedback, bug report, and comments are very welcome!

Starbucks buys San Francisco bakery chain for $100 million
Starbucks got the coffee right. Now, it is trying to do the same with the food.
The world's largest coffee chain announced on Monday plans to acquire for $100 million a small artisan bakery chain, Bay Bread and its 19-unit La Boulange bakery brand.
Starbucks will purchase the San Francisco-based chain from the privately-held investment firm Next World Group. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2012.
The move comes just months after Starbucks (SBUX) purchased the tiny Evolution Fresh juice brand and at a time Starbucks is pushing hard to expand beyond coffee and vastly improve its baked goods and other food offerings. Food is one of the chains fastest-growing businesses, now accounting for $1.5 billion in revenues even as its sales have grown by double digits over the past two years.
"After more than 40 years, we will be able to say that we are bakers, too," says Howard Schultz, CEO at Starbucks.
Starbucks has long caught flak for its sometimes-mediocre food offerings. More recently, it has removed artificial ingredients from food and added some smaller portion sizes. While the chain has worked hard in recent years to improve the quality and content of its foods, it now appears to be conceding with this purchase that it needs to go outside for help.
The original La Boulange at Pine and Fillmore streets in San Francisco.
"It makes perfect sense," says Jeff DeGraff, a management professor at University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. "Starbucks has to have a premium pastry product to go with its coffee if it wants to occupy the premium cafe space."
Starbucks ultimately wants to boost its food sales in the grocery aisles, not just at Starbucks retail stores. La Boulange products also are sold in several upscale restaurants, hotels and specialty grocers in the Bay Area. And Starbucks plans to grow the La Boulange bakery chain separately, too.
Besides purchasing La Boulange, Starbucks also hired the bakery chain's founder, French baker Pascal Rigo, who since he was 7 has spent years working in bakeries in Bordeaux and Paris. La Boulange is known for baking authentic French pastries and breads from scratch.
But it will likely be a while — perhaps many months — before the flavor and taste of La Boulange shows up at many Starbucks locations. Starbucks first has to upgrade many existing facilities and broaden distribution capacity in many markets. Some West Coast Starbucks locations could see the baked goods by early 2013, projects Cliff Burrows, president of Starbucks.
"It's a product that will match the quality of our coffee," he says.
His favorite La Boulange pastry? "It's got to be the croissant," he says. "Fresh and simple."

Lily Allen's Mom Leaks Newborn Daughter's Name
She's been settling into motherhood over the last five weeks, and Lily Allen couldn't be happier about her newborn daughter.
And while the "Smile" songstress was keeping her little girl's name a secret, Allen's mother Allison leaked the moniker on Facebook.
Lily and her husband Sam Cooper selected the name Ethel Mary for their firstborn, whom they welcomed into the world on November 25th, 2011.
Back in December, Lily took to her Twitter page to share her gratitude, tweeting, "Thank you for all the flowers and lovely messages everybody. Very touching indeed."
