text: I once stayed in a hotel/art installation called the Propeller City Island Lodge in Berlin. Its whole purpose is to experiment with sensory distortion—to use furniture and space to confuse, befuddle and delight with floating beds, strange mirrors, and optical tricks to create a warped sense of space. The way I felt in those spaces was strangely akin to the way I feel after an all-nighter: disoriented, amused, slightly afraid, and more than slightly uncomfortable.

LICKEY End residents joined with pupils and staff at a Bromsgrove school for a special service of remembrance.
Lickey End First School, in School Lane, held the event remembering the fallen on Friday, (November 9).
Held annually, this year residents were invited into the school to join in and support their remembrance event.
More than 90 people attended, included some war veterans.
As part of the event year four youngsters dressed in wartime clothes, read poetry, and had their work on the Second World War put on display.
Visitors were also given refreshments, in the form of rations.
The school's headteacher, Ann Hill, said: "'The remembrance event is greatly valued by the school and community.
"Many parents, grandparents and local visitors were extremely impressed by the childrens' sensitivity and emotional response as well as their knowledge of the First and Second World Wars.
"We are very proud of our year four class and the staff team who led this event.'

In honor of today's spooky holiday, we're digging through the vaults and pulling this oldie-but-goodie out of the archives. There's no time like Halloween for a good ghost story or two!
We caught a lot of panels while we were at New York Comic Con this past weekend, but one of our favorites was called "Celebrity Ghost Stories: Fact, Fiction and Previously Untold Tales in Paranormal Pop Culture." Celebrities? Ghosts? We're in! Given by journalist/NYU professor/all-round "ghost guy" Aaron Sagers, this talk made our skin crawl with all sorts of real-life ghostly encounters– had by celebs! Did you know that Matthew McConaughey lived in a haunted house? Or that Taylor Momsen once went ghost hunting? Because they did—and they lived to tell the tale. Want to know more? Come on. Join us around the campfire. Because we've got some spooky stories to tell you!
1. Jenna Bush
While her dad, George W., was president, Jenna Bush swears she ran into one (or more!) of the allegedly numerous White House ghosts. Her bedroom, you see, was graced with a fireplace—which she claimed has a tendency to play 1920s-era music. One night after hearing such music emanating from the fireplace, Jenna ran into her sister's room. Her sister, of course, didn't believe her—until the next night, when she stayed in Jenna's room with her. Seeing may be believing, but hearing might be, too.
2. Anna Nicole Smith
Anna Nicole Smith didn't just encounter a ghost—she had sex with one. Regularly. The first time that it happened, she thought that it was her boyfriend; however, she soon figured out that this wasn't the case. She was pretty okay with it, though—she said the sex was great!
3. Kate Hudson
Kate Hudson revealed during the filming of Skeleton Key that she's had her fair share of ghostly encounters. She's seen a ghost with no face—a commonly ghostly archetype—more times than she can count, and once, the spirit of her grandmother visited her. At least granny's still looking out for her from beyond the grave!
4. Nicholas Cage
Nic Cage also has a whole bunch of ghost stories in his arsenal. His favorite, though, involves a time that he was staying at Francis Ford Coppola's house in Napa Valley. Nic was staying in the attic when late one night, a woman with big hair appeared. At first, he thought it was his aunt. But when she approached him… well, let's just say that he found out quite quickly that it was NOT his aunt. He doesn't know who it was, but she scared the bejeesus out of him.
5. Matthew McConaughey
In 2003, everyone's favorite shirtless wonder was living in a haunted house. The first time he encountered his ghost, he freaked out: He kept hearing noises that sounded like a dime getting dropped about ten feet (have you ever heard a dime get dropped ten feet? It's loud. Seriously.) He leapt out of bed—buck naked, of course—grabbed a baseball bat, and started running around the house like a mad man. He's since made his peace with his ghost, though; he calls her Madame Blue, and he says that they get along quite well. He suspects his constant nudity has something to do with it.
6. Keanu Reeves
Keanu's tale doesn't really have a resolution, but it's a creepy image all the same. When he was five, he and his sister encountered a ghost in the house they were living in. The ghost wore a white double-breasted suit—except that he had no legs. Spooky.
More celebrity ghost stories, including Taylor Momsen and Alyson Hannigan, up next!

Women who work night shifts are at higher risk of breast cancer, according to new research.
In fact, it suggests working at night increases the chances of the disease by 40 percent.
Women working more than two night shifts a week have double the risk of those on day shifts, says a report from scientists, while night workers who also describe themselves as "morning people" have a stronger risk than those who say they are "night owls."
The latest study, backed by the Danish Cancer Society, involved more than 18,500 women working for the Danish army between 1964 and 1999. They based their finding on a detailed questionnaire they gave the women about their habits.
Overall, night shift work was linked with a 40 percent increased risk of breast cancer compared with no night shifts. Women who had worked night shifts at least three times a week for at least six years were more than twice as likely to have the disease as those who had not.
There has been growing evidence that night shifts might boost cancer risk because of the disruption to the body clock and hormone production.
Experts believe a hormone in the body that potentially suppresses tumors may be disrupted by constant exposure to light during night-time hours.
Shift work can increase the likelihood of other lifestyle risk factors, such as lack of exercise.

Rest in Peace Luc Bourdon
The Canadian Press reported some extremely sad news today, Canucks defenceman Luc Bourdon was killed today riding his motorcycle in northern New Brunswick. He was just 21 years old and he had so much potential as the Canucks first round pick in the 2005 draft. I am shocked, this is so tragic. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - There are still hundreds of dogs and cats looking for a forever home, even after the massive pet adoption over the weekend.
There were 1,200 animals in need of a home, and 803 found one. That leaves nearly 400 pets homeless.
The hope is to lower euthanasia rates at community animal shelters.
"There's still a lot of animals in our shelters that need homes for the holidays, and we're asking the community come out, adopt don't shop," said Dianne Wiles, of First Coast No More Homeless Pets. "There's some great animals out there that need homes. We still want to clear out the shelters for the holidays."
Animal Care and Protective Services still has to euthanize perfectly adoptable animals when it is over capacity. The good news is, because so many were adopted this weekend, the Jacksonville Humane Society took in the rest of the dogs that were at Animal Care and Protective Services, meaning they won't be put down.
About 8,000 people went to the mega adoption, a little less than the last big local adoption event, and animal workers are hoping people trickle into the shelters to help the remaining pets.
All adoptable pets will be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
The price for a cute face is $20, which pays for the city license.
Tiffany Shovish adopted a dog over the weekend and said they had a great first weekend together.
"We wanted a puppy, but she's perfect because we don't have to do the potty training and gives him another chance to get out and experience more life and not be stuck in one place," Shovish said.
Wiles said a lot of times people want puppies and kittens, but by giving an adult dog or cat a chance, people will be surprised at how much age doesn't matter.
"They really call out to you," Wiles said. "When you're looking for a pet, you might think you want this type of pet, but you're going to see that one pet that calls out to you, and you're going to create that bond and have a forever friend."

Samsung's first Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear commercial is very strange
27 Comments
1. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
I thought the ad was great. It showed the capabilities of the phone and love the catchy remix at the end.
3. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
Agreed. It's not strange, it's artistic.
5. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1122; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
I like the ad as well because it shows what the Note 3 and Galaxy Gear SmartWatch can do together. I dont care for the SmartWatch, but Its something worth buying once the price goes down on it.
BUT Im still upgrading to the Note 3 lol
6. TheCynicalTechie (Posts: 78; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
It's not even close to worth buying since the Omate Smartwatch exists
2. Commentator (Posts: 3722; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
I watched it without volume, so when the puppet show started at the end I imagined it to the tune of "Everyone Has AIDS."
8. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Aids will be a thing of the past in a few years. If you contracted HIV right now there's an extremely high chance you will live until the vaccine that is being tested right that has no side effects is released to the public, its in stage 2 trials right now.
9. Commentator (Posts: 3722; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Sorry, I should've clarified that was a "Team America" reference. AIDS qua disease really has nothing to do with it.
4. Bootutu (Posts: 228; Member since: 11 Jul 2013)
Keep 'em coming PA lol....we get the message
7. one81one81 (Posts: 10; Member since: 27 Sep 2011)
PA, why don't you post full TVC (2:51 mins)!!! now i know why u feel this TVC is very strange.. because you watch edited version!!!
you guys can watch full TVC here at /watch?v=m4sTLfTKOGo
13. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
They should kept Annie Lennox as the vocals in the TVC.
10. CX3NT3_713 (Posts: 2287; Member since: 18 Apr 2011)
.... i dont really see myself, looking at my watch, to see if i have notification,...why just look at your phone?
11. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
I am still not sure why I need a watch to tell me there's a message on my smartphone. It's the same approach as how many people does it take to change a lightbulb.
12. threeline (Posts: 267; Member since: 11 Sep 2011)
This Smartwatch crap is hideous. Who the hell needs a watch on their wrist to tell them that their phone is vibrating in their pocket?
14. yooperboogs (Posts: 14; Member since: 10 Dec 2011)
The only reason i could see it being worth having is if you are in a meeting and you get emails and text all day long and say your wife calls or husband calls because your child is sick or something you can then answer it right away and ignore the rest. Or lets say you are in another room watch tv opposite of your phone for some reason (it happens to me a lot) and you receive a message from someone you dont really care about you can chose to ignore it rather than getting up and checking every time your phone goes off.
17. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Checking smartphone is bad, but checking smart watch is okay? Hmmm.
Oh please!
23. jaychildz (Posts: 129; Member since: 31 May 2013)
Yea it's like an earpiece telling you what's going on when you're not there i hope its HTC compatible. It's actually kinda useful and cool but hey to eachs own
15. one81one81 (Posts: 10; Member since: 27 Sep 2011)
this watch is companion for your smartphone so you have an option not to buy it if you don't like it... and maybe you should think out of the box.. not all people carry their smartphone all the time and not all people carry smartphone in their pocket (some of them put in their bag especially ladies or maybe they just leave it in the table).. with this smartwatch, it easy for them to alert on any important calls/message/email... and by the way this is how technologies developed and evolved... sometime we think it's useless but who knows one day it will change our lifestyle and how we communicate... IMHO
16. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Maybe, if you did think inside the box for a change, then you would understand or empathize with our basic and simple concern. Let's say you bought the optional, companion piece and it's main purpose is to alert you of an important phone call when you didn't carry your smart phone.
Okay, Einstein -- since you are so damn smart and we are so damn stupid -- how are you going to return that very important call without your phone if you are in the middle of nowhere? (figuratively speaking)
Think outside the box my butt!!
21. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
Aww, your logic was shot down in flames and now you're upset.
You should stay inside that closed minded box while the rest of us live in a world outside of it, a world where a voicemail could be converted to text and sent to your smart watch so you won't need your phone to get the message. There's supposed to be at least 70 apps for the watch and more being created, but if all you can see is 1, stay in that box of yours. There's a ton of applications for smart watches but because you don't like Samsung, you can't see them.
24. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Again, it's how many people does it take to change a lightbulb.
Suppose you needed to return the phone call, but you don't have the phone with you. That is the argument. You are just playing a game of semantics.
26. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
Says the king of semantics. Like I said, there's at least 70 apps for this. But hey, keep focusing on only one thing if you want.
27. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Now, you are being unctuous.
You can't text back.
You can't call back.
You can't surf the internet.
And the list goes on.
As for Apps, Blackberry had thousands of apps, but one company wrote thousands of these apps that ended up being useless.
You're being a broken record as if repeating the same argument adds your position besides your on-going game of semantics.
20. bucky (Posts: 3142; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
I agree there no matter who makes it. I don't see the real need or function that it has over my phone
18. SlimSoulja86 (Posts: 660; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Wow, Are on Samsung Attach Week Michael? Okay. What happened to that Michael who will check for the facts before posting a story, the Michael who will write his own article instead of taking stories from other websites?
I miss that Michael.
19. SlimSoulja86 (Posts: 660; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Someone stated their opinion that the add was odd, and you just went along with it. What really happened to that Michael who had his own opinion and stated that it's just his own opinion?
22. ChafedBanana (Posts: 394; Member since: 20 Sep 2011)
Soon it will be against the law to wear a watch while driving.

I am trying to understand some of the terminology in python in regards to using the Turtle module and its methods such as forward(100) etc.
I think I have it correct in saying that in regards to the command "turtle.forward(100)" (is it a command? more questions) turtle is a module and forward is a method?
Could it also be described that turtle is an object(as everything seems to be in python) and forward is a method?
I will list the options i am unsure of which it could be:
1. turtle is a module forward is a method
2. turtle is a module forward is a function
3. turtle is an object forward is a method
4. turtle is an object forward is a function
5. turtle is a class forward is a method
6. turtle is a class forward is a function
in regards to a quote from http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/ ... structure/
"However, unlike Java, Python does not impose object-oriented programming as the main programming paradigm. It is perfectly viable for a Python project to not be object-oriented, i.e. to use no or very few class definitions, class inheritance, or any other mechanisms that are specific to object-oriented programming."
So when describing the turtle.forward syntax, it would then seem better not to use the word "object". As although things are objects the program might not really be being used in an OOP context, if this makes sense. But then would I use the term 'method' if not viewing things in an OOP paradigm?
Or is it the opposite of this and objects and OOP are unequivocally the paradigm of a program using the turtle module?
I hope this is clear. I would be grateful for any help from anyone with any clarity on these questions.

July 22, 2013 — Coral Gables, FL — Celebrating its 30th Anniversary Season this October, the University of Miami Frost School of Music's highly-anticipated Festival Miami proudly announces the addition of multi-Platinum singer-songwriter Joan Osborne and chart-topping blues sensation Ana Popovic to its stellar lineup of artists performing on the month-long Festival in October 2013. Both concerts are featured as part of the Festival's Creative American Music series, and will take place at UM's Maurice Gusman Concert Hall, 1314 Miller Drive on the Coral Gables campus. Festival Miami kicks off with a spectacular Opening Night concert on October 1, with international superstar Gloria Estefan performing a jazz-influenced program of American classics from her upcoming album, The Standards.
Joan Osborne will enthrall audiences with her sultry, muscular voice as she performs an unforgettable acoustic duo concert on October 10 at 8:00 PM, with pianist Kevin Cotton, featuring her Grammy-nominated breakthrough hit single "One of Us," which sold over 3 million copies on first release, and was featured in the TV show Glee. Osborne will also perform newer originals and covers from her 2012 Grammy-nominated CD, Bring It On Home, a raw, woolly collection of vintage blues, R&B and soul songs that make up the seventh album from this spirited artist.
Multi-nominated Blues Music Award artist Ana Popovic, whose fiery, passionate playing and singing have earned her the moniker "the female Jimi Hendrix," will perform a crowd-pleasing show on October 19 at 8:00 PM. Considered one of the best blues players on the scene today, the Memphis-based Serbian guitarist/singer-songwriter is an international touring artist who has shared the stage with such American blues icons as B. B. King, Buddy Guy, and Robert Cray. Her most recent release, Can You Stand the Heat, was featured in USA Today as a "Pick of the Week." In addition, Popovic was a featured special guest artist on NPR Music and has appeared on the cover of Vintage Guitar magazine and American Blues Scene, among others.car
Festival Miami -- South Florida's premier live music festival—annually presents unique programming by a diverse blend of award-winning performers in a variety of genres who showcase their artistic prowess alongside astounding students and faculty artists from the Frost School of Music. More than 25 concerts and events are organized into four themes: Great Performances, Jazz and Beyond, Music of the Americas, and Creative American Music.
Concerts previously announced under the Creative American Music banner include Festival Miami's annual free Songwriters Showcase -- one of the most anticipated popular events at Festival Miami each year -- on October 9 featuring songs composed and performed by Frost School of Music students enrolled in the Bruce Hornsby Creative American Music program. Following on October 13, Festival Miami presents Fiddles on Fire, featuring the return of multi-Grammy Award-winning crossover violinist Mark O'connor, a Festival Miami favorite who brilliantly melds folk, country and classical traditions into distinctive forms. He will be joined by Glenn Basham for an extraordinary display of violin virtuosity of epic dimension with fingers flying, toes tapping, and a blaze of excitement as they create an improvisatory mash-up of roaring bluegrass, jazz and country fiddle. Student fiddlers and national champion finalists from the Frost School of Music also showcase their prodigious talents.
Festival Miami collaborates with Sunday Afternoons of Music for Children to present a Halloween concert on Sunday, October 27 with The Okee Dokee Brothers, 2013 Grammy Award winners in the "Best Children's Album" category and two-time Parent's Choice Award recipients. They have garnered praise from the likes of NPR's All Things Considered and USA Today. All children are invited to dress in Halloween costumes and enjoy an after-concert A-B-C party: Apple juice, Balloons and Cookies.

LAKE CITY, Fla. - Lake City police arrested a man after they said he crashed through a front security gate of Summers Elementary School and then fled the area. Jeremy Pepper, 28, was arrested a few minutes later.
Police said shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday, a driver witnessed a vehicle go through the stop sign at Southwest St. Margarets Street and Southwest Mcfarlane Avenue. The vehicle, later identified as a 1996 Olds Achieva driven by Pepper, crashed through the locked gate of the east entrance into Summers Elementary School, on Mcfarlane Avenue.
After crashing through the gate, the driver destroyed several signs in the parking lot and exited through another portion of fence, heading north on Mcfarlane Avenue past the witness. The witness called police and several officers responded to the area in an attempt to locate the vehicle.
Minutes later, officers located the stopped vehicle in the Buck Stove parking lot. Pepper was sitting in the driver's seat with the keys now in his back pocket. Police said he was disoriented and had a strong odor of alcohol coming from him.There was substantial damage to his vehicle and both the front and rear windshields were shattered.
Pepper received a small laceration to his face as a result of the crash.
Pepper was arrested on a charge of leaving the scene of a crash involving property damage. He is also facing charges of possession of marijuana (less than 20 grams) and possession of drug paraphernalia; and issued a traffic citation for the crash.

this wont help with your current card, but if you buy a realtek wireless usb adapter, itll work fine. its only like 25-35 dollars for a BT5 compatible card, and it extends range and capabilities so its worth it. i use one.
I am using BT5 and i am also new to this.
I have dual boot machine.
My BT5 was working fine till morning and all of a sudden it stopped detecting WLAN card.So no wireless networks are detected.
But the same card works fine for Win7...I formatted it and reinstalled the BT5. But still I am facing the same problem..
It would be great if you guys can help.
this wont help with your current card, but if you buy a realtek wireless usb adapter, itll work fine. its only like 25-35 dollars for a BT5 compatible card, and it extends range and capabilities so its worth it. i use one.
Hi, Is it a internal wlan card? i thought BT5 only supported USB dongles, I might be wrong douh..
I am using an internal broadcom b43 14e4:4320 and it works fine with BT5. It usually only stops working after I run like aircrack or after about 5-10 hours I have to reboot. But I rarely do that so it works great. . It would be really useful if you could give us some more info about your card (at least the brand).
try going into wicd and click on Preferences than see if the name of the wireless interface is there..such as wlan0 or wlan1..if not type it in..also sometimes my laptop while backtrack is loading up doesn't turn on the wifi card..so while it's booting up i'll have to hit "fn and than F2" to activate my wifi card..it's retarded..but it could be happening to you..check it out
Also, what do you get on iwconfig?/etc/init.d/wicd start
I have wlan usb. My Backtrack is installed in Virtual Box but I can´t find the usb in baktrack.
It does support internal cards..
I will try that and let you knw the results.
shutdown ur BT and then go to settings of that VM machine and enable usb. It ll do the job
iwconfig shows me wlano but with power off and all such options... will be posting the detail of iwconfig asap.
my wlan card is of intel iwl3945abg.
My laptop model is HP dv2500 series.
warlier it was working fine with same wlan card... Buying usb adapter is another solution but i want to work on this..

You can order a Alfa AWUS036H 1000mW USB for $30, I purchased one a month ago and never looked back. I get up to 25 AP's with it and I'm able to inject packets into about 18 of them. Here's a full list of the supported wireless devices
Also tryCode:dmesg | grep iwl
If you get SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 when putting the interface up try the following:Code:ifconfig wlan0 down ifconfig wlan0 up
If you still are having trouble with putting the interface up you can try this:Code:rmmod ath5k rfkill block all rfkill unblock all modprobe ath5k rfkill unblock all ifconfig wlan0 up
1. Download and extract http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwif...-22.214.171.124.tgz
2. Follow the instructions provided in the readme (copy the binary to /lib/firmware)
If it's still not working post the output of this:Code:cp /lib/firmware-2.6.34/iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode /lib/firmware-188.8.131.52/iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode
I'd also recommend taking a look at this thread even though it's BT4 it still might help.Code:tail /var/log/dmesg

Simon's strong start undone by shaky first inning
Frazier goes deep in Reds' Major League-leading 33rd one-run loss
PITTSBURGH -- It always seems to come down to that one run for the Reds this season, doesn't it?
Saturday's 3-2 defeat to the Pirates at PNC Park was another instance where they did just enough to lose, and not quite enough to win. Where this loss stands out, Pittsburgh scored all of its runs in the first inning on Neil Walker's home run and had no hits after the second inning.
Cincinnati has played 52 games with one-run decisions this season, with a Major League-leading 33 losses. The club record of one-run losses is 41, done in 1916 and '46. The one-run defeats in 2014 almost account for half of the 65-71 Reds losses.
"It's a lot of losses -- one run. It's pretty amazing. You don't see that in a two-year span, really," Reds third baseman Todd Frazier said. "I don't know what it is. We talk about finishing games; it's really ... words can't explain with what's going on with 33 one-run losses. You win a third of those, you're in contention."
Reds starter Alfredo Simon was on the hook for three runs and four hits over his seven innings, with two walks and seven strikeouts. A well-pitched performance, indeed, but he and the Reds paid for a rough bottom of the first.
With one out in the first, Andrew Lambo lined a single to left before Andrew McCutchen walked on five pitches. Walker then attacked a first-pitch fastball over the middle of the plate and deposited a homer to the seats in right-center field for a 3-0 Pirates lead.
"The first inning, I just tried to attack the zone and they jumped on the first pitch. I think that was the thing," Simon said.
Simon then allowed a double to Russell Martin before getting out of the first. After that, he retired 19 of his last 21 batters, including a stretch of 12 in a row and 15 of 16.
After Josh Harrison hit a two-out single in the second inning and was caught stealing for the third out, no Pittsburgh batter reached until Martin worked a leadoff walk in the seventh on a 10-pitch plate appearance. Simon retired the rest of the side in order.
"It's kind of the theme to the second part of the season, how he gets out of the gates," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "It's not typically five or six great innings followed by a tough seventh. The damage is early, and then he's able to recover."
Simon, who was 12-3 with a 2.70 ERA in the season's first half, is 1-6 with a 4.62 ERA in the second half. His last two starts have been stronger, as he's allowed four earned runs over 14 innings. He is 13-9 with a 3.28 ERA in 27 starts overall.
Pirates starter Vance Worley kept the Reds hitless for three innings and until Frazier connected on a 3-1 fastball for a one-out long ball in the fourth. Frazier's ball traveled into the left-center-field seats for his 23rd homer of the season.
Devin Mesoraco drew a leadoff walk against Worley in the seventh, which was followed by a Brayan Pena single. Lefty Justin Wilson took over and struck out Jay Bruce. The potential third out, a popup behind first base by Zack Cozart, saw three players converge before it fell in past first baseman Ike Davis' outstretched glove as Mesoraco scored. The play was ruled an error on Davis.
The inning ended when Skip Schumaker struck out against Wilson, leaving runners on the corners.
"We have to find a way to push across more runs and be a better offensive club on a more consistent basis," Price said. "We had some opportunities there in the seventh and just weren't able to kind of finish it off."
With back-to-back losses to the Pirates before Sunday's finale, the Reds are assured of losing the sixth out of their last seven series.
In each of the Reds' last five losses, they've scored two runs or fewer. In Wednesday's and Thursday's wins over the Cubs, they scored seven.
Price was clearly frustrated that his team hasn't found a way to take control of games for much of the season.
"We can talk about our team at length and our strengths and weaknesses. That's not really necessary at this point in time in the season," Price said. "It's more essential we find a way to win that game, find a way to win every game. We don't get blown out a whole lot. But there are games that sit out there with a chance to do something, and we haven't consistently been able to do enough to run together a win streak."

Scorecard | Action in Images
Dhaka, (AFP): A spirited Bangladesh led by all-rounder Mohammad Mamhmudullah edged out the West Indies in the fifth and final one-day by two wickets in Dhaka on Saturday, taking the series 3-2.
Mahmudullah took 2-38 to help the home team bowl the tourists for 217 in 48 overs and then scored a polished 48 to help the home team chase down the target for the loss of eight wickets with six overs to spare.
Bangladesh won the first match by seven wickets and the second by 160 runs -- both in Khulna. The West Indies levelled the series with a four wicket win in the third and 75 runs in the fourth. Both teams will now play a Twenty20 international in Dhaka on Monday.
It was Mahmudullah and captain Mushfiqur Rahim (44) who set the home team on the victory path through their 91-run stand for the fourth wicket after paceman Kemar Roach (5-56) had derailed them in early overs.
Roach struck thrice in his first five overs, removing Tamim Iqbal (eight), Anamul Haque (nought) and Jahurul Islam (10) to leave the home team in disarray at 30-3.
Mahmudullah hit seven boundaries in his 45-ball knock while Rahim smacked as many boundaries in his 56-ball knock.
But the West Indies staged a comeback through Sunil Narine (3-38) as the spinner removed both the batsmen in the space of 12 runs.
Nasir Hossain (39 not out) and Mominul Haque (25) added 53 for the sixth wicket as Bangladesh survived a late order slump to reach the target. Nasir hit Andre Russell for the winning boundary to send the packed crowd into jubiliation.
Earlier, Kieron Pollard hit a return to form with a robust 74-ball 85 and Darren Bravo notched a sedate 108-ball 51 during their 132-run fourth wicket stand to lift the tourists to 217 after they were put into bat.
Bangladesh had removed Kieran Powell (11), Marlon Samuels (one) and Chris Gayle (two) by the eight over.
Paceman Shafiul Islam, who replaced injured Mashrafe Mortaza in the squad, dismissed Gayle for a fifth failure in as many matches to finish with 3-31 in his nine overs.
Pollard, who like Gayle was a big flop in the last four matches, hit a six for his first scoring shot as he batted with aggression. He hit five boundaries and eight towering sixes to take the attack to the Bangladeshi bowlers.
He was finally dismissed in the 32nd over, bowled by spinner Haque. The Pollard-Bravo stand for the fourth wicket is a new record in all West Indies-Bangladesh one-dayers, beating the 92-run stand between Jimmy Adams and Shivnarine Chanderpaul in Dhaka in 1999.
Bravo hit three boundaries and a six before he was caught off Mahmudullah who finished with 2-38.
Devon Thomas chipped in with a useful 25 to take the West Indies past the 200-run mark.

Why Are We Blaming Feminism for Our Inability to Have It All?
Did feminism really pull a fast one on women, as Anne-Marie Slaughter of The Atlantic thinks? Here's a different point of view to try on for size.
-Lylah M. Alphonse, Yahoo! Shine
Anne-Marie Slaughter's article, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All," struck a chord among men and women struggling to juggle their careers and their families. In it, she seems to say that feminism has pulled a fast one on us, encouraging her — and millions of other working moms — to believe that they could hold down high-powered jobs and still successfully raise well-adjusted kids when, realistically, having it all is next to impossible.
"I was increasingly aware that the feminist beliefs on which I had built my entire career were shifting under my feet," Slaughter wrote. "I had always assumed that if I could get a foreign-policy job in the State Department or the White House while my party was in power, I would stay the course as long as I had the opportunity to do work I loved. But in January 2011, when my two-year public-service leave from Princeton University was up, I hurried home as fast as I could.
It's a rude awakening. But why blame feminism for it?
"Let's start by recognizing that the women's movement never told anybody that they could 'have it all.' That concept was the brainchild of advertising executives, not feminist activists," Stephanie Coontz points out at CNN. "Feminism insists on women's right to make choices — about whether to marry, whether to have children, whether to combine work and family or to focus on one over the other. It also urges men and women to share the joys and burdens of family life and calls on society to place a higher priority on supporting caregiving work."
Slaughter's husband, a tenured professor at Princeton University whose job allowed him plenty of flexibility, stepped up to the plate to be the primary caregiver for their kids while Slaughter spent two years in Washington. But in spite of his willingness to be Mr. Mom (and his wonderful parenting skills), Slaughter felt that her absence during the week was making her teenagers' lives worse.
Her time in Washington was intense and stressful. "My workweek started at 4:20 on Monday morning, when I got up to get the 5:30 train from Trenton to Washington. It ended late on Friday, with the train home," she describes. "In between, the days were crammed with meetings, and when the meetings stopped, the writing work began-a never-ending stream of memos, reports, and comments on other people's drafts. For two years, I never left the office early enough to go to any stores other than those open 24 hours, which meant that everything from dry cleaning to hair appointments to Christmas shopping had to be done on weekends, amid children's sporting events, music lessons, family meals, and conference calls. I was entitled to four hours of vacation per pay period, which came to one day of vacation a month."
Read The Singing Bride Becomes an Accidental Viral Hit
Slaughter assumes that she was working "a job that is typical for the vast majority of working women (and men)," when the truth is that schedule would have made an involved family life impossible for anyone, male or female.
"Men can't have it all, either. At least, not by the standard Slaughter outlines, and which I happen to think is spot on," writes James Joyner in a rebuttal published in The Atlantic online this week. "The fact is that life is full of trade-offs. It's not possible to 'have it all.' It never was. And never will be. For women or for men."
Flip-flopping gender roles may be one way to achieve your goals, as long as women can let go of the guilt. According to a new study by the Boston College Center for Work & Family, men are increasingly discovering that staying home to raise their kids can be as satisfying for them as bringing home the bacon.
"The existence of at-home fathers greatly enables and facilitates the careers of their working wives or partners," Brad Harrington, Executive Director of the Center for Work & Family. Harrington and a co-author of the study, said in a statement. "The overwhelming response from wives was that having an at-home spouse had enabled these women to pursue their careers in a much more assertive fashion without the limitations that virtually all working mothers experience."
Which is to say that having a stay-at-home spouse makes it easier to commit to one's career, regardless of gender. Which means that feeling like you've failed if you can't "have it all" has less to do with feminism and more to do with deliberately making a choice that you thought would be OK for your family, and then discovering that it isn't.
The fact that Slaughter could take a two-year leave of absence from one high powered job in order to do another? Feminism gets credit for that, absolutely. But the fact that her priorities shifted part-way through her career? Not feminism's fault.

The son of Samuel Bicknell, Sr., and Margaret Fain, Samuel Temple Bicknell was a merchant, farmer, and lawyer. He was also a prominent member of the TN State Assembly. In 1840, he married Mary B. Wallace, the daughter of Gen. Wm. Wallace and Margaret Chamberlain, of Blount Co., TN. The couple lived in Maryville, Blount Co., and, after the war, in Columbia, Maury Co. They had six children. At the time of his death, Samuel was in Nashville attending to his duties as a state legislator. He is said to have been overcome with shock and grief and died as the result of hearing the sudden news of the murder of his son John, who had been working as an itinerant salesman. (According to other reports, he was already a dying man when the news of his son's murder was disclosed.) During the Civil War, Samuel T. Bicknell apparently served as an officer in the Confederate quartermaster's office. The location of his burial is not currently known.

Anchor automatically adds curly braces and semicolons to code written in various programming languages, saving typing and making programs easier to read. It lets you pretend to be coding in Python or Lua while actually writing standard C, Java, PHP, C++, .NET, C#, or D. A script may generate files in the target language and invoke the compiler. An example bash script integrates with TCC to make runnable "scripts" with the speed of C. The scripts are easily modified to target another compiler or interpreter.
AntiCutAndPaste is designed to search for text fragments that have been copied and pasted in programming language source code or plain text. It has been tested on sources from large C++, Pascal, Java, and C# (Mono) projects. The algorithms used are very fast and can handle up to three million C++ code lines in one minute. Minor modifications of code are ignored during the search. Reports are sorted conveniently by the total size of all similar fragments and there are many report customization options.
Autodia is a command line Perl application that generates UML class diagrams from source code, SQL, and database connections. It supports multiple programming languages including SQL, and can output images (using GraphViz/VCG/SpringGraph), Dia XML and Umbrello XML, or custom formats using templates.
CScout is a source code analyzer and refactoring browser for collections of C programs. It can process workspaces of multiple projects, mapping the complexity introduced by the C preprocessor back into the original C source code files. CScout performs an analysis of C source code that is more detailed and accurate than current compilers and linkers, as it takes into account the identifier scopes introduced by the C preprocessor and the C language proper scopes and namespaces.
Clone Digger is a duplicate code detection tool which supports the Python language. It works on the abstract syntax tree level. Discovered clones can differ in small subexpressions; comments and whitespaces are ignored. The report on found clones is written to HTML in a two-column format with the differences highlighted. Clone digger is platform-independent. It has been tested on several open-source projects and the results indicated that about 12% of their code is covered by clones.
CodeLite is a powerful, cross-platform code editor for the C/C++ programming languages. It is regularly tested on Windows XP sp2, (K)Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04, Fedora Core 6, Debian lenny and sid, and Mac OS X 10.5.2. CodeLite uses a sophisticated, yet intuitive interface which allows the user to easily create and build complex projects.
DEPS (formerly known as graph-includes) is a set of tools and libraries which allows users to extract dependency information from arbitrary material (e.g. program source files), apply various transformations to this graph, and draw it. It is typically used as helper tool for a refactoring effort, to create a graph of dependencies between groups of source files. Readability and usability of the dependency graphs are currently improved by customizable grouping of several source files into a single node, coloring of nodes belonging to given groups, and transitive reduction of the graph.

"Killer Instinct"
Unless Tom Brady and Bill are coming with him don't expect much success wherever he goes.
Our QB > Yours
He could have easily kept Cutler, Marshall, and even Peyton Hillis (he looked awesome before he went to Cleveland) and would have been set offensively. Instead he got rid of tons of talent and turned them into one of the worst teams in the league. There's a difference between bringing in your own guys and gutting an organization of elite talent
I doubt McDaniels leaves unless it's a good landing spot with tools to work with, so rule out KC and Cleveland.
I think Carolina could be a possible option he would go for, he can work with that offense but really needs a defensive genius on the other side
Then again McDaniels isn't really a QB magician, Bradford was alright under him.

Visitors center reps fear impact of proposed county budget cuts
December 7, 2002
SUMMIT COUNTY – Summit County Visitors Information Centers representatives say if the county goes ahead with its recommended budget cut, hours at the two centers will likely be cut. That, they believe, could be detrimental to the county's well being.
Summit County commissioners are still reviewing the proposed budget, which calls for a cutting the Visitor Information Centers (VIC) by a third. Last year, the county contributed $30,000 to the group. This year, the proposed donation is $10,000.
"We know the county is in a real big budget crisis, but for them to cut $20,000 out of our funding is really going to hinder our visitors centers," said Maggie Lifland, president of the Summit County Visitor Information Center. "Chances are we'd have to cut back on hours, find a way to make some of it become self service.
"More than 100,000 guests a year come through the door, asking a wide variety of questions. If the Visitors Information Center doesn't provide information to the visitors, someone else is going to have to step up and do it. In my opinion, we've become very good at working with very little. It seems to me if they can't come up with the funding (for the center), they'll have to find a way to do it at a much higher cost."
The Summit County Chamber of Commerce manages the operation of the Frisco and Silverthorne centers, although the centers are under the auspices of a separate non-profit board.
Visitors can walk in, ask questions of staff and volunteers and pick up brochures about Summit County businesses and events.

The VIC program has a total budget of about $180,000 a year, and an annual payroll of about $60,000, Lifland said. Furthermore, the group benefits from fundraisers like Monte Carlo Night.
Last year, the Frisco VIC moved to a new location on Summit Boulevard next to Subway in the Antlers complex. Antlers owner Dan Sederstrom sold the condominiumized space to the VIC.
"We have a mortgage to pay off," Lifland said, "so the county's contribution is a healthy portion of the budget."
The county, however, is in a tight spot. Its $46 million budget came up $1.7 million short, forcing manager Ron Holliday to propose cuts that include the loss of 11 positions and reductions in virtually every department.
The budget is set for adoption Monday afternoon, and VIC representatives say they'll be there before the final vote to ask for some consideration.
County Commissioner Gary Lindstrom said the center representatives aren't the only ones making comments about the budget. They also aren't the only ones facing some potentially painful reductions.
The budget recommendation calls for reducing the county's contribution to the Summit Foundation, a philanthropic countywide organization, from $65,000 to $55,000. Foundation director Deb Edwards said the cutback doesn't come as a
"Under the circumstances, the county had to look everywhere to make cuts," she said. "I didn't expect we would be excluded from scrutiny.
"A $55,000 contribution to the Summit Foundation is significant and will go a long way in supporting community needs."
Lindstrom said making final decisions on the budget proposal is a matter of establishing priorities.
"I think the question would be whether or not we feel as though (the center) has a high enough priority to maintain the existing level of funding," he said. "It's the old bullets and bread thing. When the United States was considering going into World War II in the midst of a depression, people were asking if you give dollars to fight a war or do you give dollars to feed people. In this case, do you spend money for marketing or to fix the road?"
Holliday said he doesn't think his recommendation for the visitor center reduction is unreasonable, "not when we are looking at laying people off."
"I wish I could give you a spiel about some sort of magic formula for how we come up with these recommendations," he said. "It just seemed to me when I was looking at the budget that this is somewhat of an unusual level of support for a non-direct county service."
The centers also get funding from most of the towns and the ski areas, as well as the Summit County Chamber of

Youth Exhibition: 5 years later
Since 2006, MOPA has showcased the photographs and films of emerging young artists from Kindergarten to grade 12 in our annual youth exhibition. After five years of exhibitions, I am still astounded by the skill, creativity and artistry seen in the works created by these young artists. This year's exhibition, See/Saw is no exception.
When I started at MOPA as the director of education in 2002, I had no idea that my suggestion to exhibit children's works would develop into a yearly exhibition. The education staff knew we were nurturing and developing our future photographers and filmmakers in our programs. Naturally, we wanted to share their talents and amazing works. At first, we held mini-exhibitions at the end of each program either in our classroom or premiered the film they created in 4-9 days in MOPA's theater to family, friends and MOPA staff. I always looked forward to these exhibitions and premiers and enjoyed seeing how proud both the students and their families were of their accomplishments. It inspired me to create a youth exhibition that would invite not only MOPA students, but any student in San Diego County, K-12, to participate in a juried exhibition of their works based on a theme.
Our very first youth exhibition in 2006 was titled Close-Ups: San Diego Neighborhoods and featured 60 young photographers from all over San Diego. It was the first exhibit at MOPA devoted exclusively to works by children. An exhibition of photographs by Don Bartletti, a Pulitzer Prize photojournalist, was scheduled to be on view at the same time. His works became the inspiration for the theme of documenting San Diego Neighborhoods.
Don was a great advocate of the program and agreed to assist me with training teachers and administrators. He led two workshops discussing how to assist students with capturing the photographic moment and what it means to be a photojournalist. He was also one of the judges who selected the final 60 works to be exhibited and even led a special afternoon for the student exhibitors, their families, and the public. What a rare opportunity it was to have Don Bartletti discuss his photographs and then highlight a youth work and why he selected it for the youth exhibition.
As we celebrate our sixth children's exhibition, I can't help but think back to our first exhibition in 2006 and how far we have come. We still matte and frame every child's work and hang them in our galleries with the same care and attention as any other work in our museum. We still ask the students to write an artist statement, which gives so much insight to the photograph and to the young artist. We now have offsite exhibitions at local libraries, digital photo frames highlighting those works as well as photographs that were created by MOPA students in India. We even have a gallery interactive, where visitors can text message a student about their work of art.
So, the next time you are at MOPA, take a moment to visit the See/Saw exhibition. Who knows, one of the young artists in the exhibition may be our next Pulitzer Prize photojournalist.

Arjen Robben and Thomas Mueller scored extra-time goals as Bayern Munich won the German Cup with a 2-0 victory over rivals Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
After the first 90 minutes finished goalless, Robben broke the drought in the 107th-minute before Mueller added a second in time added-on.
Coach Pep Guardiola finishes his first season in charge of Bayern with four trophies having already won the Bundesliga title, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup.
"When a team wins the German league title, it's already been a good season," said Guardiola.
"That was the most important title, but of course we are very happy that we have won the cup."
Bayern lifted the German Cup for a record 17th time to claim the domestic league and cup double - the Champions League was the only title to evade the Bavarian giants this season.
But Guardiola admitted he deserved criticism from the German media in the wake of their 4-0 home drubbing by Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final, second-leg.
"The criticism was quite justified, I did things I shouldn't have done," said Guardiola.
"I made mistakes in our playing style and tactics against Real, but things like that can happen in big games against big clubs."
Having also scored the late winner in the 2013 Champions League final against Borussia at Wembley, Netherlands winger Robben again broke Dortmund hearts.
"We were finished at the end," admitted Dortmund's coach Jurgen Klopp, who was left fuming after television replays showed a second-half Mats Hummels header crossed the line, but was not given.
"We tortured ourselves and gave everything. In the phase when we were stronger, we scored a goal, which wasn't given.
"That should have been seen (by the referee) even without goal-line technology."
There was no fairytale finish for Poland striker Robert Lewandowski who had promised to finish his four years at Dortmund by lifting the cup before joining Bayern next season.
This was the fourth and final time Germany's top two sides met this season with both teams finishing with two wins a piece.
But it was a nervy, tense affair in front of a 71,967 crowd at Berlin's sold-out Olympic Stadium which also included Hollywood star Tom Hanks who is filming in Germany's capital.
Bayern were forced into a late change when Austria left-back David Alaba dropped out with a stomach muscle injury and Brazil's Rafinha slotted into his place.
Munich were already without defensive midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, ruled out with a knee injury while striker Mario Mandzukic having been dropped.
There were worrying scenes ahead of next month's World Cup in Brazil when Bayern's Germany captain Philipp Lahm limped off with half an hour gone to be replaced by Franck Ribery.
The Bayern bench said Lahm had taken a knock to the fibula, but it was not serious and he is expected to join the Germany training camp which starts on Wednesday.

I must admit, I know nothing about this kid. Here's the announcement from the Rangers:
New York, March 29, 2011 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms with free agent forward Tommy Grant.
Grant, 24, tallied two assists in his professional debut with the Connecticut Whale of the American Hockey League (AHL) on Sunday at Providence. Prior to joining Connecticut, Grant appeared in 37 games with the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) this season, registering 16 goals and 16 assists for 32 points, along with 57 penalty minutes. He led the team with career-highs in goals, points, game-winning goals (five) and shots on goal (114), and ranked second on the Seawolves in assists and penalty minutes. The fourth-year player also tied for the team lead with four power play goals. Grant helped lead Alaska Anchorage to a WCHA First Round upset of the 17th-ranked University of Minnesota Gophers, tallying two points (one goal, one assist) in the two game series on March 11 and March 12. He also recorded two points (one goal, one assist), including one power play goal, in the Alaska Airlines Governor's Cup two game series on February 25-26.
The 6-2, 195-pounder appeared in 134 career WCHA games in four seasons with the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves, registering 45 goals and 45 assists for 90 points, along with 179 penalty minutes. Grant led the Seawolves with a career-high, 17 assists, and ranked second on the team with 26 points in 2009-10. In his second season with the team, Grant led Alaska Anchorage with 15 goals and ranked third with 25 points. Prior to joining the Seawolves, Grant skated in 157 career British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) contests with the Victoria Salsa and the Westside Warriors, registering 53 goals and 57 assists for 110 points, along with 230 penalty minutes. In 2006-07 with Westside, he led the team and established BCHL career-highs in goals (36), assists (39) and points (75).
Also, I see where the NHL went wimpy, wimpy, wimpy with Todd Bertuzzi. Matt Cooke must be happy to hear that. Not to mention Marc Savard and others. "Oh, yeah, we're serious about head injuries … blah-blah-blah-blah." What a load of crap the NHL sells.
One more thing: Best wishes to Manny Malhotra on his surgery today. As I said in an earlier post, not only one of the best people in the game, but also one of the best on this planet.

The Errors the American National Academy of Sciences
The NAS's Error in Portraying the Distribution of Species As Evidence of Evolution
In the chapter entitled "The Distribution of Species," the NAS portrays the subject of biogeography, which is still the topic of much debate amongst evolutionists, as evidence of evolution (Science and Creationism, p. 15). The NAS's views on this subject are summed up in these words:
And why are island groups like the Galápagos so often inhabited by forms similar to those on the nearest mainland but belonging to different species? Evolutionary theory explains that biological diversity results from the descendants of local or migrant predecessors becoming adapted to their diverse environments. This explanation can be tested by examining present species and local fossils to see whether they have similar structures, which would indicate how one is derived from the other. Also, there should be evidence that species without an established local ancestry had migrated into the locality.
Let us examine the NAS's account. According to the NAS, living things on islands such as Hawaii or Galápagos, which are surrounded by vast reaches of ocean, either evolved from other living things in the region or else in some way evolved from "migrant predecessors" that came to the islands. There is a geographical obstacle between these islands and other land masses. For that reason, these living things adapt to the features of a particular region and acquire specific features. As we have already seen, this is what biologists call "microevolution"—that is, variation, in which an organ does not acquire new genetic information and which is therefore not an example of evolution. As we saw in the chapter "The NAS's Errors Regarding Speciation," no species can evolve into another, no matter what that species may be nor how long it may remain geographically isolated. We examined in some detail in that chapter why it is wrong to portray variation as evolution.
In fact, that example is important because it introduces us to a deceptive method frequently employed by evolutionists. That is the way they refer to any change in nature, or even in society, as "evolution" and portray it as evidence for the theory. Sometimes, evolutionists employ an even more deceptive variety of this method and say, "Evolution is gradual change." According to this misleading definition, all kinds of changes could be portrayed as "living examples of evolution." In fact, as we saw at the beginning, human cultural and technological change is even described an "evolution" and immediately linked to Darwinism. All these distortions are deceptions which can only mislead those who lack sufficient information on the subject or fail to consider it properly. They show just how despairing the proponents of the theory of evolution are when it comes to finding evidence.
On the other hand, the verbiage employed in the NAS book is also of interest. For instance, the NAS authors suggest that some snail and fruit fly species found on Hawaii evolved from a few common ancestors that reached the area in the past. Yet, for some reason, there is no fossil evidence to back this up. The NAS is employing the familiar old evolutionist logic, saying, "All living things came into being by evolution; that means they all descended from a common ancestor."
Biogeography, the geographical distribution of living things, offers no evidence of evolution. This branch of science concerns such subjects as mapping, the extinction of organisms, and ecology. Despite being evolutionists, G. Nelson and N. Platnick of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, admit that biogeography has nothing to do with the theory of evolution:
We conclude, therefore, that biogeography (or geographical distribution of organisms) has not been shown to be evidence for or against evolution in any sense.1

January 26, 2013
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. – Sometimes, the best form of motivation comes in the form of a kick in the pants. For the Lady Mustangs, it was an elbow to the back.
After trailing the Lady Hawks the entirety of the first half, Jacquelyn Marshall (San Clemente, CA) drove in a layup six minutes into the second stanza, giving the Lady Mustangs their first lead at 35-33.
Over the next three minutes, the Lady Mustangs slowly, but surely, extended their lead to 40-35, paced by a Zoe Scott (Spokane, WA) three-pointer, and a Kelly Burns (Yorba Linda, CA) layup.
And then, it happened.
Just as Lena Rivera (Allen, TX) was going in for a layup to give the Lady Mustangs a seven point advantage, San Diego Christians' Brittney Daniel delivered a punishing elbow to Rivera's back, sending the 5-10 senior crashing to the ground.
That intentional foul sparked a 7-0 run on part of TMC, featuring Rivera sinking two free throws, and younger sister Millie Rivera (Allen, TX) draining a jumper, and posting a long range three-pointer. Shaken, but not seriously hurt, Lena Rivera went on to finish the game.
With a 12 point cushion entering into the remaining 10 minutes of play, the Lady Mustangs were faithful to maintain their lead to the final buzzer, never letting their advantage dip below six points.
"We sat in the zone in the first half letting them [SDCC] hit some tough three-pointers, so we decided to play man-to-man in the second half, and were able to get some stops and get some key shots in," commented Lady Mustang head coach Dan Waldeck. "We played much tougher, and rebounded better when the game easily could have gotten out of hand."
At the end of the first half, the Lady Mustangs were held to a meager 29% shooting accuracy, easily over-shadowed by the Lady Hawks' 55% field goal completion. After the break, TMC's shooting accuracy improved to 40%, while SDCC succumbed to a minimal 28%. Despite the Lady Mustangs' solid 60-50 victory, TMC was outshot by the Hawks 37% (18-46) to 35% (20-56).
Marshall led all scorers with 19 points, earned a double-double with 10 rebounds, and led the squad with four blocks. Lena Rivera chipped in 10 points, while Scott and Burns each scored eight.
The Lady Mustangs, whose overall record improves to 19-1, now fix their sights to Tuesday's 5:30 PM road game in Costa Mesa against conference rival Vanguard. The Pride, who ranks No. 3 in the NAIA's most recent Division I Women's Basketball Coaches' Top 25 Poll, is currently tied in second place with the No. 8 nationally ranked Lady Mustangs in the Golden State Athletic Conference with a 5-1 record, and also boasts a 14-1 overall record.
"It doesn't get any easier for us," assessed Waldeck. "Hopefully we can go in, play some good team-centered basketball, and leave it all into the Lord's hands."
If Saturday night's game against the Lady Hawks shows anything, it's that the Lady Mustangs aren't afraid to play with intensity. Especially when push comes to shove.
