For all her accolades, for all that Candice Wiggins had accomplished in four seasons at Stanford, her thoughts before Tuesday's region final against top-seeded Maryland drifted to what she hadn't done. She was reminded of the motivating disappointment from barely missing the Final Four in past seasons, like two years ago against LSU. ¶ "They were celebrating and dancing and I was just like, 'Gosh, I just want to dance like that, just be excited and go to the Final Four with my team,' " Wiggins said. "I kind of had that image in my head before the game started. And sure enough, we were all out here dancing." ¶ Stanford is in the Final Four for the first time since 1997, and a major reason is Wiggins, a 5-foot-11 senior guard who became the first women's player to score more than 40 twice in the same tournament. Scoring 44 in the second round against Texas-El Paso was impressive, but not as much as the 41 she dropped on Maryland in a 98-87 victory.
"What can I say about Candice?" Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said after Tuesday's win. "She is a great player, steps up in big games, and she really stepped up for our team and knocked down shots."
Perhaps because Stanford is on the West Coast, perhaps because she hasn't been to a Final Four, Wiggins isn't as well known nationally as other superstars in Tampa this weekend. Say her first name, and she's not the player most fans think of.
But as dominant as Tennessee's Candace Parker and LSU's Sylvia Fowles have been, as phenomenal as Connecticut freshman Maya Moore has shown herself to be, Wiggins is the Final Four's top scorer, statistically. Her average of 28.5 points puts her in position to challenge the tournament record of 177, set by Texas Tech's Sheryl Swoopes in 1993. In 26 years of NCAA Tournament play, there had been four games with more than 40 points before Wiggins this season.
Wiggins has worked for four years to make a name for herself, as the daughter of former Padres and Orioles star Alan Wiggins, whose promising baseball career was derailed by drug problems. He died in 1991 of complications relating to AIDS. He was 32; Candice was only 3. She has dedicated her athletic career as an extension of her father's, inspired by a man she barely remembers.
"For me to carry the traits of someone I don't really know, it makes me feel closer to that person," she told the Baltimore Sun last week. "Even though he's no longer here."
For all her scoring, Wiggins is far from selfish, leading the team with 115 assists this season. One reason she has excelled in this tournament is her supporting teammates, who have kept defenses from collapsing on her.
Her 44-point game against UTEP overshadowed a 20-point showing by sophomore center Jayne Appel, who went 9-for-9 from the field. Her 41-point game against Maryland came on a night in which freshman Kayla Pedersen had seven assists and zero turnovers in 40 minutes, going 3-for-3 on 3-pointers in scoring 15.
Indeed, some of Stanford's best games haven't been Wiggins' best. In a December overtime win against Tennessee, she scored a team-high 22, but went 1-for-6 on 3-pointers and had four turnovers. As a senior on a young team, her best contributions might be as a leader who will motivate returning players to send her out with something to remember, a legacy beyond honors and records.
"Before the game, Candice just gets us really focused and really gets our team in the right mind-set, telling us this is another step and we've worked really hard all year to play in this game," Appel said last week. "There is no tomorrow so leave it all on the floor."

Borghese Energia Firming Wrinkle Creme Reviews
Almost miraculous!I've been using Borghese stuff since high school, which was a LONG time ago, and it's always been wonderful. As I've gotten older, my skin has gotten healthier and healthier, it seems. I use this with Borghese's Esfoliante delicato and Crema Saponeta, and love the combination. One jar lasts me about 4 months, using it morning and night. As an anti wrinkle cream, it's great. I'm 44 and regular...read morely get asked for ID when I buy age restricted items. My 21 year old son and I are frequently mistaken for siblings....so I'd say it works! — 9 years agochaosn2stars | 2 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

subset: commoncrawl


text:
Release Notes: Various improvements were made to error handling. Syncing svn repositories no longer breaks when using weird locales. GNU info handling will now work even if Paludis is run via sudo with env_reset enabled.
Release Notes: Qualudis has been removed. Various cached values are now forcibly discarded when they're not going to be used anymore, leading to paludis --owner and reconcilio using considerably less RAM. Various bug, style, and performance fixes related to updates (package moves, etc). By default, updates will still only be displayed but not carried out; consult the FAQ for details.
Release Notes: The Git syncer now has various options for dealing with branches. Experimental support was added for profile updates (such as package moves). By default, updates will be displayed but not carried out; consult the FAQ for details. Support for the recently changed EAPI 3 is present and used during tests but excluded from the install target.
Release Notes: A bug in which fetch failures would sometimes not register as errors was fixed.
Release Notes: Notifier callbacks allow clients to tell the user what's going on when generating metadata, performing resolutions etc. Sets now work slightly differently. For sets defined by multiple repositories (e.g. 'system'), 'setname::repo' can be used to access the part of the set defined by a given repository. Upgrading an unpackaged package no longer errors out. Combining :slot and ::/path restrictions now works correctly.
Release Notes: Failures installing qt-core on Gentoo have been fixed.
Release Notes: Various fixes when using the Portage configuration were made.
Release Notes: The =...* dependency operator in configuration files and command line arguments now matches component-wise rather than character-wise. Support for EAPI 3 is present and used during tests but excluded from the install target.
Release Notes: Various Ruby 1.9 fixes were made. Hashes are now memoised, to speed up --pretend --install for certain cases. pcrecpp is now used rather than pcre++ to avoid the latter's lack of thread sanity.
Release Notes: System packages are now treated as 'used' for --uninstall. Fetch-related errors that can be caught up front are now tested at --pretend time. Support for [.key=value] dependency specifications. Support for configurable output managers. These are undocumented in this release, and configuration formats may change without backwards compatibility; documentation and stability will be provided once any kinks have been ironed out. By default, message logs for all packages and build logs for failed packages are kept in /var/log/paludis/. SLOT and EAPI now show up as metadata keys, and are searchable.

For a university course we are looking for help to turn our Axure-based prototype into a funtional prototype. The following core functions should be addressed (suggested modules attached):
Setting up a profile (incl. picture, expertise fields, "looking for...", etc.) --> Core user fields or profile2 contrib module?
- Users can set up circles (e.g. google plus) --> og module?
- Message between members --> private message module?
- Friend requests --> user_relationships or flag_friend?
- Matching algorithm (matches personal strenghts of one member to "looking for..." of another member) --> likely custom code
- Statistics for community host (who interacted with whom, number of , what are the current hot topics etc.) --> understats?
- User rating system (user can rate other users) --> rate or votingapi modules?
The project is due in 3 weeks. Therefore it would be great to talk to you asap. If you are interested please comment or write us a message under:
Cheers, Timo

New changes to EVE Online seem to be on the way as reported by players on the test server, and confirmed by CCP Games developers on the forums: weapon grouping and contract refinements, in addition to the previously-reported certificates.
Having several high slots of weapon turrets and needing to change ammo types mid-combat has likely frustrated most EVE players at some point. Now, it seems that it'll be possible to link up weapons systems (turrets and launchers only, at first), simplifying reloads and ammo swaps. EVE dev CCP Ytterbium says, "This feature allows players to group weapons together into one slot. From there you can swap all ammo at once without doing the usual ritual of right-click gun 1, load ammo, right-click gun 2, load ammo again etc..." He does caution that the feature is nowhere near ready to go live on Tranquility, and should be considered a work in progress. More information on this feature (which is a welcome change for many EVE players) will be detailed in a future dev blog, he said.
Another new feature that's turned up on the test server is "storefronts," which are enhanced contracts for corporations to use. CCP Lingorm said, "Essentially they are a customised view of selected Contracts issued by your corporation. So that people can see what you have available, they also allow you to sell packages and build a relationship with your customer."
A key aspect of storefronts that CCP is working on is "offers" -- which CCP Lingorm explains through the example of a typical transaction: "This means I can 'offer' a f.e. Raven for 100 mil, but do not have to commit that Raven to the contract. You can then come along and take up the offer of the Raven, at which point an item exchange contract for 100 mil for a Raven is created from you to my corp. I can then accept the offer and the Raven is delivered to your hangar. Also note the Offer is still available in the Store Front for others to take up."
The end result is that player corporations in EVE will be able to build to order through storefronts. As with weapon grouping, a dev blog will discuss storefronts in greater detail once the feature is closer to completion.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/3/2013 (1615 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
For many Winnipeggers, Phantompalooza II, a celebration of Brian De Palma's cult film Phantom of the Paradise, was a life-changing experience. Held in April 2006, the event featured all the significant stars of the 1974 cult film, including Jessica Harper, Gerrit Graham, the late William Finley and the three actors -- Archie Hahn, Jeffrey Comanor and Harold Oblong -- who made up the film's miscellaneous bands.
Most importantly, it featured a concert by the film's star, songwriter Paul Williams, who credited the film's rabid Winnipeg fanbase for the soundtrack album going gold in Canada, a reflection of the movie's microcosmic appeal. (It bombed everywhere else in North America except Winnipeg.)
It's safe to say the fan convention changed the life of Stephen Kessler, a New York-born American filmmaker (Vegas Vacation, The Independent) who, sparked by a wistful nostalgia for Williams' work (which includes such hits as We've Only Just Begun, Evergreen and Rainbow Connection), flew to Winnipeg to document the proceedings. Enchanted, Kessler found himself living in the 72-year-old Williams' diminutive shadow off and on for the next few years.
The result of that obsession is Paul Williams Still Alive, a documentary portrait of the Oscar-winning songwriter that is by turns hilarious, moving, inspiring and cringe-inducing.
The Free Press spoke to Stephen Kessler in Los Angeles by phone.
FP: Given that Phantompalooza was this film's jumping-off point, can you say what the city and that event meant for you?
SK: I had never been to Winnipeg before. I spent a lot of time in Canada filming commercials and different things, so I came to Winnipeg by chance, and I had such a great time there. First of all, I felt such a real connection to all the people who really loved Paul Williams.
In the film, I interview a lot of people in Winnipeg and interviewing the people there, it was the first day I had ever shot on the film. At that point, I didn't know if it was going to be a film or... nothing.
But talking to people about this connection to Paul really convinced me that this could be a film and it also convinced me that I didn't need to interview famous people about what Paul Williams meant to them, like they do in other documentaries. I realized that Paul's real connection was just with regular people. So I got all of that out of Winnipeg.
In fact, I had hoped to open the film in Winnipeg. I had always dreamed that if I finished the film, then I would be bringing it back to Winnipeg with great fanfare. But given the financial realities of making documentaries, that really wasn't in the cards for us. But it means everything to me for the film to be playing in Winnipeg.
FP: In other hands, Phantompalooza was the kind of event that could have easily been mocked, but you didn't go there.
SK: I think anyone who would mock what happened at Phantompalooza, it would be their loss, because it was really beautiful, what happened there. People coming out just to show love for the film, and the cast, and that part of their lives they spent in a theatre watching Phantom, I honestly felt the experience to be very moving.
FP: When you ask an insensitively phrased question or you make a bad judgment call during an interview, Williams will call you on it. You actually include those moments in the film when it would have been easy to edit them out. Why?
SK: My desire was to make a very honest film. Although many people in the documentary community disagree, I feel that everyone knows there are microphones and cameras, and everyone knows there are people behind the scenes, and it was my desire to not hide any of that.
In addition, I felt that the best way to understand the relationship between me and Paul was not to sugarcoat it and not to hide things about it, but to show when he got ticked off at me, because I think it said a lot about how we came to trust each other.
Also, looking at the footage with my editor David Zieff, he started saying to me, "Look at how he's angry at you here. Look at how you two are fighting here. This stuff is the best stuff we have." So that's how a lot of that came to be in the movie.
FP: It is a movie that is almost as much about you as it is about Williams. Your relationship goes through various iterations: pop star/fan, master/pupil and finally friendship. How would you define the relationship now?
SK: When I started the film, I had no expectations of what Paul was going to be or what he was going to be like. I've worked with a lot of celebrities and sometimes it's thrilling and sometimes it's a huge disappointment. But when I met Paul, I saw something in him that connected me to the guy I saw on television. I saw a humility and an honesty in him. So I observed that about him and that's why I wanted to keep filming.
Now, we're friends with all the complexity of a friendship. Sometimes we get along great and sometimes we want to kill each other. And I have to say that's a real accomplishment.
The film is about Paul, but it's just as much about happiness and understanding what you need to make you happy in life, versus what you think you need to make you happy in life. To me, that's what it's about.
Stephen Kessler will participate in a Q&A via Skype after the screening of Paul Williams Still Alive on Saturday, March 23.

Dr. Handyside is not a fan of his government's approach. "It's just added a whole layer of bureaucracy. It makes parents feel like pariahs."
Now at the London Bridge Fertility, Gynecology and Genetics Centre (whose website calls him "the father of PGD"), he recently wrote a commentary in the journal Nature, acknowledging that the new screening technologies "come with ethical and social challenges" and "are bound to increase demands from prospective parents who want to know, or control, how their child will turn out."
But Dr. Handyside feels that most couples are not interested in cosmetics – "they just want a healthy child" – and should be able to decide for themselves what they wish to avoid. The market polices itself, he says, pointing out that condemnation from the public and his own peers prompted Dr. Steinberg to withdraw his offer to test for eye, hair and skin colour.
Yet most screening decisions are made in private, between patients, their doctors and the ethics-review boards that clinics convene. But in Britain, all PGD testing is a matter of public record, and often, controversy.
In 2007, for instance, doctors were condemned for enabling a couple to avoid having their baby inherit a severe squint that prevented the father and grandfather from looking anywhere but down or to the side. Dr. Handyside says the father had undergone several operations to ease the condition, which "had blighted his life, and he didn't want to pass it on to his children." Even conditions that seem mild can have a serious effect, he adds.
Which is why trying to restrict embryo tests to health-related conditions provides no easy answers: Should it include those that are mild or manageable, those that only increase disease risk, or only develop later in life?
Such questions are ever more pressing, says Marcy Darnovsky of the California-based Center for Genetics and Society: "Many people live happy, fulfilling lives with the conditions we're trying to weed out."
Seang Lin Tan, a renowned fertility specialist at McGill University who worked with Britain's IVF pioneers, agrees that the technology comes with tricky ethical issues. To him, the most vexing is whether embryos should be discarded for carrying disease genes that may not have an effect until well into adulthood.
Dr. Tan, also medical director of the Montreal Reproductive Centre, dismisses as "a lot of hype" the fear that couples will use PGD to make blond, blue-eyed babies. But he sympathizes with those who fear that the future may bring, say, breast cancer: "If you have this disease in your family ... and you're doing PGD anyway, I think it's reasonable."
Last January, Dr. Tan says, his Montreal clinic became the first in Canada to begin shipping cells to Reprogenetics, a New Jersey laboratory established by Dr. Munné, the PGD pioneer, that runs non-stop – even on Christmas Day.
Quebec is the only province to fund IVF (providing only a single embryo is implanted to avoid the costs and risks linked to multiple births), now subsidizes a basic form of PGD.
Technology now available in Canada scans only a small fraction of chromosomes, Dr. Tan says, and a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that the older tools can actually hurt pregnancy rates. Which is why his patients are willing to pay a premium of roughly $5,000.
The Reprogenetics chip can scrutinize abnormalities in all 23 pairs of chromosomes simultaneously, and demand is so steady that Dr. Munné, who serves at least 10 Canadian clinics, says he may open a branch north of the border.
Dr. Tan's wife, Grace, who is director of McGill's medical MBA program and often helps out at the clinic, says patients who opt for PGD often are older and "very stressed – they have had repeated miscarriages and repeated abortions. To know they received a normal embryo gives them hope."
One woman was determined to avoid the genetic mutation that causes webbed feet in her husband's family. But all 10 of the embryos the couple conceived by IVF carried the mutation.Report Typo/Error

Small but sturdyThe small collapsible cup is very sturdy. It is excellent to put in the bathroom and take an evening pill. The cap keeps everything neat and tidy. The overall image is eloquent.
Quality ItemThis is a sturdy, well constructed collapsible stainless steel cup. It's made of fairly thick walled steel and the cap snaps on firmly, I only hope the fit relaxes a bit with use because it can be a bit tough to remove the cap. An upside to this cup over others is that is does not have a short chain and key ring clasp, so it is clean and smooth, with nothing to get snagged on.
Useful camping itemThe order was handled expeditiously. The cup is perfect for my needs and is sturdy and will last.
Excellent Small Cup.Received my two small collapsible cups today. Very well made and glad they are stainless steel.. My mother had one which was plastic. After she died I kept it for several years until it cracked. I really didn't think they were still made and was delighted that I found your company. I keep one in my purse and my son keeps one in his car so that when I take my Chihuahua out during summer months, I can give her some water as she is only small - five pounds. And she doesn't like to stick her head in a large cup, so she is happy and I am happy. I thank you and Sassy (my dog) thanks you for still making the small cups!
June 2016 Rate & Review Grand Prize $100 Winner. Congratulations, Anice!!
Outstanding!Even though it was a small, inexpensive order, it was handled quickly and without error. The item was exactly as described and arrived in perfect condition. I discovered the only error that was made Christmas morning when my wife opened the package and that error was mine. I didn't remove the catalog enclosed in the shipping box. Now I have a whole list of upcoming gift giving occasions as well as an accompanying item for each day. Did anyone know Feb. 8th in Boy Scout Day. To celebrate, she wants the Universal Knife Sharpener.
Good Solid QualityI travel a lot on business and after watching a segment on the national news about some hotel housekeeping staff not washing those room glasses, or worse, cleaning them with the spray cleaner they clean the bathroom with, I thought of getting one of these to carry with me and use on my trips.
This is Not a Cheaply Made ProductVery much the high-quality product I expected--as usual for GW. Pricy, but worth it. The high-grade stainless and overall workmanship AND the absence of all scratches. Don't know how to give it as a gift . . . perhaps for a lunch or picnic kit.
Classic CupClassic cup - my grandfather had one, and when I saw it in your catalog, I had to get one for myself and 3 sons. My uncle was in for Xmas, and when he saw what I gave my sons, he wanted one as well - so I gave him mine. These classic collapsible cups are traditional from the 30's - 60's, are unique, and make great gifts. I'll be buying another one for me, and then will buy more as gifts to my key staff and friends.
Stainless Foldable CupsI like them a lot. They are sturdy and compact. A bit heavy but good quality. Look forward to years of use!
5 Star BackpackingSpace and weight are the primary concerns of a backpacker. These handy, light and strong cups are great. They fold up into a really small size and weigh next to nothing. The mess gear is also great it attaches together to make a small package. I was pleasantly surprised by the combo of a spoon, fork and a sharp knife with other gadgets attached. Very satisfied with my purchases. Joe
Collapsible CupsExcellent product description, immediate response to the order, plenty of follow-up information, quick delivery. I'm very pleased with the entire process.
StodI will tell you what he reported to me. They were sent as a birthday gift to my brother. As a missionary family spend about half their time in the fields of Thailand. He said they will work well because of there being made of stainless steel and are collapsible.
In your CUPSgood for reinacting from the revolutionary war through civil war. even if they are stainless steel

Home Depot Center to Host International Friendly on January 22
CHICAGO (December 13, 2004) — 2002 FIFA World Cup semifinalist Korea Republic will take on 15th-ranked Sweden in an international friendly Saturday, January 22, 2005 at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. PT. The second-ever meeting between Korea Republic and Sweden has been scheduled as an important tune-up as both sides continue their paths through FIFA World Cup qualifying in their respective regions.
The Korea Republic are awaiting the beginning of final round qualifying for the 2006 FIFA World Cup along with seven other finalists from the Asian Football Confederation. Divided into two groups of four teams each, the top two finishers in each group will automatically advance to the finals in Germany. The fifth-place finisher will compete in a playoff against the fourth place team from CONCACAF for the final berth in the tournament. Drawn into Group A along with Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan, the Korea Republic opens group play Feb. 9 home to Kuwait.
Sweden currently sit atop Group 8 in UEFA's qualifying tournament for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, holding a 3-1-0 record with a remarkable 14 goals for and only two goals against. Joined by Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Iceland and Malta, their lone setback came in a 1-0 loss to Croatia on Sept. 8 in Gothenburg, Sweden. The eight group winners and two best second place teams qualify directly for Germany, while the remaining six second-place teams will be paired for a home-and-home playoff, with the winners booking a place in the World Cup finals.
Tickets ranging in price levels from $18 to $45 go on sale to the public starting Tuesday, December 14 at 10 a.m. PT through Ticketmaster.com.

Groups of 20 or more can call U.S. Soccer at 312-528-1290.
Korea Republic, currently ranked 24th in the FIFA world rankings, enjoyed the most successful tournament in team history when they co-hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup. After finishing in first place of Group D, which included a 1-1 draw against the United States, the Koreans got past perennial powers Italy and Spain before falling to eventual runners up Germany. Korea is set to host a rematch of that semifinal contest Dec. 19 in Busan.
Sweden has a long and storied history in international competition and is one of the most consistent performers in the world. The nation of nine million people has reached the World Cup finals ten times, including an appearance against Brazil in the championship match during the tournament they hosted in 1958. Most recently, the Swedes finished in third place in USA '94 after beating Bulgaria 4-0 in the consolation match. Rugged and organized at the back, Sweden boast an array of attacking talent led by Celtic legend and current Barcelona forward Henrik Larsson, Arsenal's Fredrik Ljungberg, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Inter Milan.

The Disney Dream... A Reality!: Disney Dream Cruise Review by CruiseFanFlorida12
Overall Member Rating
The Disney Dream... A Reality!
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
I had cabin #8589 (Standard Interior Cabin) and it was a great cabin. Had an issue with the cabin. There was a strong odor coming out of the toilet. They could not fix it and it was gone during the last day on the cruise. Strange situation but I guess that nothing is perfect.
The food was amazing. I had the best dining room experience ever under Ronald, Byron, and Miguel. This was the best dining room team ever on Disney Cruise Line and aboard any cruise ship that I have More sailed with. In fact, they were so great, that I did not experience Palo (one of my favorites on the sea) during this cruise.
I got to ride the Aquaduck 3-6 times per day. It was an amazing experience as you go outside of the ship through a clear tunnel and around the pool area. It is a must! I also got to experience the Aquaduck in the evening with all of the lights on throughout the ship.
Pirates in the Caribbean shows and fireworks were amazing and only as Disney can do. It's the only cruise line in the world with Fireworks at Sea. It was like being at the Magic Kingdom, except in the middle of the ocean.
On our day at sea, Captain Henry picked a great spot to spend the day in the middle of the ocean and we had the best time and weather.
It was my 4th Disney Cruise and I will definitely be back aboard a Disney Cruise next year.
It was a magical and wonderful experience. It truly was a Dream! :) Less

Cabin review: 11A8589 Standard Inside Stateroom
I booked the Disney Dream to experience my 4th Disney Cruise. The room was not too close to the elevator and not too far from the elevator. It was a great location and had minimal noise in the hallway because the hallway outside of the room was only used by the four units with magical portholes. The bathroom was large enough and the room layout was designed with space in mind. Even though it is 169 sq ft, the room gives you the feel that it is larger. Had plenty of closet space and a trunk to store more clothes. The housekeeper Budi was really great! He was all about attention to detail. Minor problem in the bathroom. Strong odor coming from the toilet. They could not fix the issue. I was offered a room change and came back because my room was a lot cleaner than the second room. Magical porthole was really cool and the characters would appear randomly throughout the cruise. Overall, great room with a great location.Read All Standard Inside Stateroom (11A) Reviews >>

POMONA >> Modest pay increases and a plan to phase in all-day kindergarten won the approval of the Pomona Unified School District's Board of Education this week.
The pay increases are the first the district was able to provide following several years of cuts, district administrators said Thursday.
The last time the district employees had an increase in wages was in 2008, said Darren Knowles, assistant superintendent of personnel services.
This was the first time since being elected that most members of the Board of Education where able to provide increases, Superintendent Richard Martinez said at Wednesday night's school board meeting.
Knowles said a cost of living increase in base grant funds the district receives from the state made it possible to provide a 3 percent pay increase for teachers for the 2013-2014 budget year that is about to end.
The retroactive increases will total about $2.9 million for teachers and other certificated employees, Knowles said. Negotiations are still taking place for the 2014-2015 fiscal year.
Classified employees, which includes custodial and educational aides, will receive 3 percent retroactive increases for 2013-2014 totaling about $459,000 and 2.25 percent increases for the 2014-2015 school year, which will add up to about $344,000, Knowles said.
Associated Pomona Teachers President Michael da Rosa said 94 percent of the members of the group he represents voted to ratify the salary proposal.
"It was a very modest raise but it does help and it's an indication of a brighter future," he said.
School board members also authorized beginning the phasing in of all-day kindergarten in time for the start of the 2014-2015 academic year.
"We piloted all-day kindergarten for three years at Cortez (Math and Science Magnet School) and La Verne (Science and Technology Charter School)," Knowles said, adding both have been successful.
Plans call for Cortez, La Verne and 13 other schools to offer all-day kindergarten during the academic year that begins in August and increasing the number of campuses offering it the following two academic years, he said.
Classes will have a 24 student-to-1 teacher ratio, Knowles said. Work is also taking place, including talking with Associated Pomona Teachers, to reduce classes sizes at grades 1, 2 and 3.
Those grade levels currently have a 32-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio and the goal is to gradually reduce the class sizes to a 24-to-1 ratio by the 2020-2021 academic year, he said.
The student to teacher ratio for the all-day kindergarten is something members of the Associated Pomona Teachers, or APT, negotiated, da Rosa said, adding teachers would like to see those ratios in other primary grades.
"We believe that's going to make a difference for our children," he said.
As the fiscal year ending June 30 winds down, district officials continue work on a proposed budget for the 2014-2015 fiscal year that begins July 1.
Plans call for presenting a proposed budget to the school board on June 25.
The proposed $327.2 million budget will have about $15 million that the state is providing as it gradually moves to bring districts back to 2007-2008 funding levels, said Leslie Barnes, assistant superintendent of business services and chief financial officer.
Of the $15 million, about $11 million will go to providing programs and services for students who are English learners, who come from low-income families or who are in foster care as the district works to increase the academic performance of those and all of its students, she said.
Various programs, such as all-day kindergarten, are among those services and will be part of the Local Control Accountability Plan, which districts must develop as part of state changes in the funding of schools.
The remainder is part of the district's base funding, Barnes said.

Who said video games aren't educational? Not the Broward County School District.
More than 160 middle school students will combine their gaming and math skills to compete in the district's first math video game tournament—yes, gaming has gone academic.
Teams of four from 24 schools will grab their controllers Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the International Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum, at 300 Gulf Stream Way in Dania Beach.
They're playing for Nintendo DS game systems, iPod Shuffles and iTunes gift cards.
Students have practiced for weeks, learning math concepts and logging game time.
While an academic video tournament might seem counterintuitive, Diane Carr, the district's executive director of core curriculum, said it "fits perfectly into our schools because it successfully meets today's digital students in the world they live in."
Thursday's tournament is part of a nationwide series of Tabula Digita's MegaBowl 2009 educational video game competitions.

There is a popular saying, "What would Jesus do?" It's a great saying: easy to remember, easy to use, easily understood. No matter what the situation, even if you are only vaguely familiar with Jesus and his teachings, you pretty much would know what he would do. What could this possibly have to do with Woody, my new Meyer's parrot? Well, we are all familiar enough with our family members that this slogan could apply to them too. You are going to be an hour late getting home for work? What would your husband/wife do? What would your kids do? What would your birds do?
Now, my `tiels Natty and Carlisle would definitely notice if I don't come home on time. I imagine (since I am not there to see it) that they probably get a little antsy in their cages and probably make that whistle – the three-note one that means, "Hello? Where are you?" My older dog probably would just take a longer nap. Our 9-month-old dog would probably find something to destroy in retaliation for having to wait an hour longer.
Now, WWWD? I have to say, I just have no idea. Woody has lived with us for a couple of months now and I still have no idea why he does some of the things he does. He was doing some kind of odd sound just yesterday, and my husband turned to me and said, "Why is he doing that?" I shrugged. My husband looked at me, exasperated, "I thought you were the bird expert?" That just settled me in to give my lecture, "First off I am knowledgeable about birds, but hardly an expert. Second of all, this is a Poicephalus. Sure, I know some general information about Poicephalus, but that is it. I never wanted a Poicephalus so I never did any extensive research. This is an African bird, I've always been interested in the Australian birds. I don't know a lot about this African bird." My husband said, "Woody doesn't live in Africa. What does that have to do with it?" I sighed. "OK, Woody is an African-American bird. But being descended from African birds says a lot about what he instinctively does." I then promised Scott to do more research. Of course, I had already done some reading once Woody came into the house, but none of it seemed to answer the day-to-day stuff that Woody does. We don't know if it's just what Woody would do, or what a Meyer's would do.
Woody is nothing like the cockatiels, budgies, cockatoos or conures I've known. Living with someone is a whole lot different then knowing about someone. In the meantime, every day I still have to figure out for all new situations: WWWD?

By now, I'm sure you've seen Google's new ability to create your own custom homepage. Just wanted to gather some thoughts. What do you think? I think it's pretty slick.

Unfortunately everything they offer is information I pretty much already get elsewhere through aggregators or widgets of one type or another, but I'll see how having them all in one place on my browser's homepage works out for me.

text: Marikana - Police fired tear gas on Wednesday to disperse protesters near a mine run by top platinum producer Anglo Platinum [JSE:AMS] (Amplats), the first sign of unrest spreading after strikers at smaller rival Lonmin [JSE:LON] won big pay rises.Within hours of Lonmin agreeing to a pay increase of 11% to 22%, workers at neighbouring mines were calling for similar hikes, suggesting more trouble in store after six weeks of industrial action that has claimed 45 lives and threatened Africa's biggest economy."We want management to meet us as well now," an organiser for the militant Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) at Impala Platinum [JSE:IMP] (Implats), the number two producer, told Reuters."We want R9 000 a month as a basic wage instead of the roughly R5 000 we are getting." He declined to be named for fear of recriminations from the company.Lonmin shares soared more than 9% to levels not seen since police shot dead 34 miners on August 16 outside its Marikana mine, 100km northwest of Johannesburg.However, the deal could add 13% to the company's recurrent costs, plus an additional R82.35m ($10m) for a one-off back-to-work bonus, Nomura said in a note. Lonmin is already battling with a shaky balance sheet and unprofitable shafts.The settlement has also sown more strife in the area, with police clashing with an angry crowd in a township at a nearby Amplats [JSE:AMS] mine outside the "platinum belt" city of Rustenburg.Police spokesperson Dennis Adriao said officers fired tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets to disperse an "illegal gathering". He had no information on any casualties.A labour activist said workers who have stayed off the job at Amplats, which accounts for 40% of global supplies of the metal used for catalytic converters in cars, were inspired by Lonmin and would press on with their demands."The mood here is upbeat, very celebratory," Mametlwe Sebei, a community representative near Rustenburg, told Reuters. "Victory is in sight. The workers are celebrating Lonmin as a victory."Amplats had to suspend its Rustenburg operations last week because of the unrest. Those mines restarted on Tuesday but the company admitted many workers had stayed away.Platinum prices rose a little on Wednesday after falling 2.6% a day earlier on news of the Lonmin deal.Lonmin workers celebrateAt Marikana, strikers celebrated their settlement as a triumph for Amcu, which exploded onto the South African labour scene in January when its turf war with the dominant National Union of Mineworkers (Num) led to a six-week closure of the world's largest platinum mine.Thousands of Lonmin workers and their families gathered at a soccer pitch near the mine to sing victory songs and denounce Num, a key ally of the ruling African National Congress (ANC)."Amcu is coming. We told them and they are coming," one of the chants ran. One man held up a banner reading: "Death Certificate; first name: Num; cause of death: corruption".The discontent rolling through the sector has found fertile ground in the shanty-towns that ring the mines."The ripple effects will continue to be felt. The outcome of the negotiation at Marikana will likely set a new benchmark for mining more generally and wage costs are set to rise substantially," JP Morgan said in a research note.Amplats and Implats shares were up 0.1% and 0.5% respectively at 12:10.Wage hikes in the mining sector have been leap-frogging inflation for years, reducing margins in the industry as productivity has struggled to keep pace. But the typical miner has several dependents to feed and so pay rises that outpace inflation may not go far as the gains evaporate at the kitchen table. Racing food inflation due to soaring global grain prices will only stoke workers' hunger. The gold sector has also not been spared, with 15 000 miners at the KDC West operation of Gold Fields [JSE:GFI], the world's fourth largest bullion producer, on an illegal strike.Gold Fields' chief executive Nick Holland told Reuters on Tuesday his company could "go on for quite some time" despite the KDC West disruption. * Follow Fin24 on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest.

Ever wonder why Monsanto and its vegetable seed brands Seminis and De Ruiter use patents or Plant Variety Protection (PVP) certificates to protect its vegetable seed products? Here's some information to help you understand why.
But first, a few facts on Patents and PVPs:
- Patents on vegetables are no different than other patents. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) defines a patent as a property right granted by the Government of the United States of America to an inventor "to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention throughout the United States or

ONE is the 44-year-old descendant of slaves who gives passionate speeches on the campaign trail and is a fan of Stevie Wonder. The other is a multimillionaire businesswoman, 10 years older, who keeps in the background and prefers the Rolling Stones.
In the battle of the would-be first ladies, the contrast could not be more profound. Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain have little in common in their backgrounds or style, and the gulf is likely to be reflected in the approach adopted by whichever one takes up residence in the White House next January.
Mrs Obama has been highly active during the presidential race. She has made frequent forays into battleground states, matching her husband's skills as an orator in solo appearances. But after she was criticised for an unguarded comment that her husband's success had made her feel proud of her country for the first time, she has been careful to present herself foremost as mother and wife.
The tactic was visible in a recent speech she made in Indiana, which the Democrats hope to win for the first time since 1964. "I've come here first as a wife," she began, "who has seen my husband grow and stand strong and knows in my soul without a doubt that he will be an extraordinary president."
She talked of "tucking in our children and grandchildren at night" and referred to her husband as "babe". But she also dwelt on politics, stressing the need for universal health care, affordable college education and the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.
Mrs McCain, by contrast, has cut a quieter figure. She is usually to be seen standing behind her husband dressed in an immaculate Escada suit in almost regal silence. She speaks rarely and then fleetingly, the one exception being her 20-minute oration to the Republican national convention last month.
Michelle Obama came from a working-class family in a black neighbourhood on the South Side of Chicago, attending the largely white institutions of Princeton and Harvard to emerge as a lawyer and then as a senior manager in a Chicago hospital.
Cindy McCain had a more conventional trajectory. Born in Phoenix, Arizona, where she still lives, she was a state rodeo queen and a cheerleader in the University of Southern California, where she studied special education.
She met her husband then married to someone else in 1979, bringing to their union a fortune inherited from her father's beer distribution firm, which she now chairs. Her wealth is put at more than $US100 million ($A150 million).
Cindy McCain's biographer, Alicia Colon, believes her bearing in the White House would be marked by diffidence. She would eschew promoting policy, nor would she follow Rosalynn Carter's example and sit in cabinet meetings. "She is not very political and the only reason she agreed with John McCain's decision to run again is because she feels he is the best person to lead the country in these perilous times," Colon said.
Mrs McCain herself sees her main function as her husband's sounding board. "I'm the one person who will tell him in the end exactly what I think and what's wrong," she told a TV interviewer. She has said she would focus on adoption, a subject dear to her heart after she brought home a child from Bangladesh in 1991, famously presenting the baby to her husband without notice, with the words, "This is your new daughter."
She also would use the role to encourage volunteering, and to bring public attention to addiction, a personal cause that stems from her three-year addiction to painkillers in the early 1990s.
Myra Gutin, author of The First Lady in the 20th Century, divides past first ladies into three categories. There are those who saw their job as largely ceremonial the White Housekeepers as she has dubbed them such as Bess Truman and Mamie Eisenhower.
Then there is the class of what Gutin calls "emerging spokeswomen" those who made use of the influence the White House offers as a podium to address the country. She puts Jacqueline Kennedy and both the Bushes, Barbara and Laura, into this group.
Finally, there are the activists, such as Lady Bird Johnson, who helped draft legislation, Betty Ford, who openly disagreed with some of Gerald's policies, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who went as far as to hire presidential aides.
Gutin predicts that were Mrs McCain to become first lady, she would be an emerging spokeswoman. "She is certainly not a shrinking violet, but nor is she comfortable in the public spotlight."
But with opinion polls swinging steadily towards the Democrats, it is likely that Michelle Obama will be the one to inherit Laura Bush's title. If so, she will be America's first black first lady, a historic distinction which, combined with her inherent political instincts, would shape her approach.
Mrs Obama, Gutin believes, would fall into the activist mould. "That's more in tune with her personality and her relationship with her husband, who would encourage her to take the lead in a project, probably in the area of education."
Nonetheless, Mrs Obama would be aware of Hillary Clinton's difficulties when she took on a full policy portfolio health-care reform soon after entering the White House. Her failed initiative damaged her reputation and sapped the political strength of the President, Bill.

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Dusch, Michael Allen URN etd-04092009-111949 Title Heidegger and Dewey: Science in a Post-Metaphysical World Degree Master of Arts (M.A.) Department Philosophy & Religious Studies Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Francois Raffoul Committee Chair Gregory Schufreider Committee Member Nathan Crick Committee Member Keywords
- Martin Heidegger
- John Dewey
- Philosophy of Science
- Metaphysics
- Deconstruction
Date of Defense 2009-03-31 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe aim of this paper is to compare and contrast the philosophies of Martin Heidegger and John Dewey regarding metaphysics and science. Concerning metaphysics, there are two main areas of attention, the historical emergence of metaphysics in the philosophical tradition, and the abandonment of the metaphysical notions of substance and subjectivity. After examining these two areas of both thinkers' philosophies, we then turn to their philosophy of science, demonstrating how the scientific thought of both thinkers is inseparable from their metaphysical critiques. For Heidegger, modern science is merely a continuation of the metaphysics of the past, while for Dewey; science is the tool by which modern man can throw off the false metaphysical assumptions of the past.
After demonstrating the metaphysical and scientific thought of both thinkers, both are compared to one another, in an attempt to illuminate their similarities and differences, finally concluding that if reconciliation is possible between Heidegger and Dewey, it is in their environmental thought.

After What Happened In CT, Are NJ Schools Safe? [AUDIO]
In the wake of the tragic school shooting rampage in Connecticut, New Jersey parents are voicing concerns about school safety in the Garden State.
"Safe is a broad term, but I think our schools are prepared to respond and recover from incidents such as the one that took place in Newton, Connecticut, "Anthony Bland, the NJ Department of Education State Coordinator for the Office of School Preparedness and Emergency Planning, says.
"Preparedness and being safe is about making sure that teachers, students and community members understand what they need to do and what their roles are."
Leading the Nation in School Preparedness
He says, "New Jersey is one of the state's that's leading the nation in school preparedness efforts, our school security drill law is one of the most aggressive if not the most aggressive in the nation…it requires all school safety and security plans in the state of New Jersey to follow 91 items that have come from the school security task force, Commissioner Cerf, and Governor Christie."
Bland adds that in a situation of an active shooter, most schools go into lock down. They would lock the door, turn the lights off, they would put the shades up or down, depending on what local law enforcement says. "But I think it's very difficult to stop someone that has the intent, the desire, the ability and if necessary, the firearms to change the course of the schools action….We need to continue to have target-hardening approaches to school safety, so whether they're metal detectors, cameras, security guards, buzzers, those are the processes, but they will not eliminate violence and crime and the evil that took place – but they do deter."
He also says, "It's important for parents to get involved and understand what their school is doing, to keep the kids safe."

Yesterday my husband and I tried Tesco's potatoe gratin for the first time. We were after dolphinoise potatoe and this seemed like as great cheaper alternative. There was one packet of dolphinoise potatoes for sale down the ready meal aisle and this cost £3.50 a packet to serve 2. In comparison Tesco's potatoe gratin cost £2 for a portion for 2. As a result we went for this cheaper option and felt confused on what the difference was,
Tesco potatoe gratin comes in a silver tin foil tray with a thin plastic film over the top. You peel the plastic film off the top and pop into the oven for 25 minutes and that's it cooking is done and your ready to eat!
We found that Tesco potatoe gratin was delicious, it is thin slices of potatoe layered in a creamy slightly cheesy sauce. We had our potatoe gratin with some garlic chicken and loads of different vegeratables and these things worked really well together. My husband generality doesn't eat vegetables with up them being covered in Garvey or tomatoes ketchup. This potatoe gratin has so much lovely sauce in it that he didn't need any extra sauce for his veg.
Tesco potatoe gratin is not a very healthy option. It contains loads of calories and fat and so I wouldn't recommend that anyone incorporates it into their daily duet. However, as a one off treat surly this is fine.
I am still as little confused on what the difference is between potatoe gratin and dolphinoise potatoes. I think we definately did the right thing and saved £1.50 buying this product.
450g of own-brand potato gratin from Tesco currently costs you £2 - a suggested serving size for two people. A 225g portion contains a hefty 300-odd calories, just under 10% of these coming from fat and of that, about 6% is saturated fat, which comes from the lashings of double cream, single cream and cheddar cheese that've gone into its manufacture. Given that 62% of the gratin is potato, much of the rest of it (about 28%) comes from milk-based products.
The gratin comes in its own fairly sturdy foil dish, and is topped by clear plastic film that has to be removed before the thing is bunged in the oven (about 180 degrees for around 25 minutes) so it's pretty easy to 'cook'. It looks reasonably like the illustration on the packet - and appetising - when it comes out of the oven, but unfortunately the results once it's ready to eat aren't overly impressive. It's a gratin made with cheesy sauce, which is always a mistake to begin with, and in this case the cheese taste is not great. Combined with all the cream that's gone into making the gratin the overall result is that the sauce is too thick, cloying and super-sickly to eat. Although what you get in the gratin is a pretty concentrated cheese sauce, I'd say there isn't enough of it in principle either. The texture of the potato slices once cooked is not good; they sort of crumble / break into little pieces yet still manage to be slightly slimy. The gratin as a whole is barely more than an inch thick.
Since it's possible to make a perfectly good gratin at home very simply (by slicing potatoes, seasoning between the layers, adding garlic and then coating the whole thing with cream then cooking slowly in the oven) I'm mystified as to how this cook-chill dish from Tesco can have turned out so badly. The ingredients that went into it are all perfectly good. I can only conclude that some effect of storage, or a startlingly bad recipe contributed to this somehow.
I would not buy this again, or even eat it even if I were to be given a Tesco Potato Gratin for free.

With major retailer commitments so far, Leiner began shipping its new patent pending, rapid release acetaminophen gelcaps this month. Capitalizing upon the popularity of rapid relief dosage forms with consumers, Leiner developed a red, white and blue acetaminophen gelcap that disintegrates in just over 3 minutes.
"Leiner's easy to swallow gelcaps feature an exposed center section, enabling the medication to break down quickly in the stomach, offering consumers fast relief when they need it most," remarked Gale Bensussen, President, Leiner Health Products. "Disintegration tests of our gelcaps confirmed they perform similarly to the national brand. Leiner's new 500 mg rapid release acetaminophen gelcaps are a must have for retailers seeking to provide customers with innovative store brands they can trust," Bensussen added.
For people unable to take OTC or Rx NSAIDs, which include COX-2 inhibitors, acetaminophen is a good alternative for pain relief because it offers fewer risks. With sales reaching $807 million (IRI FDMx, latest 52 weeks ending May 1, 2005), acetaminophen is the best selling drug in the OTC pain reliever category, commanding 37% of total dollar sales. The pain relief or analgesics category also includes aspirin, naproxen, and ibuprofen.
Approved by FDA in 1951, acetaminophen is used for the relief of fever as well as aches and pains associated with many conditions, including minor arthritis pain. Leiner's 500 mg rapid release acetaminophen gelcaps will be available in commonly used bottle counts and ready to ship to retailers in June.
Store brand over-the-counter drugs sold by retailers nationwide are the generic equivalents to their national brand counterparts. Typically, they are sold under a retailer's name and labeled with the drug's active ingredient. Side-by-side, these pills resemble one another but more importantly, offer the exact same amount of active ingredient. Often times, the price of a store brand drug can sell for 30%-60% less than its brand equivalent. Leiner Health Products is committed to providing retailers with store brand drugs that crack the code on innovation and deliver the highest quality every time.

Senate Republicans will gather today to elect a new Senate majority leader to replace Sen. Amy Koch. This comes after Koch resigned her post after being confronted by Senate Republican leaders about allegations she had an "inappropriate relationship" with a male staffer. Koch later issued a statement apologizing for the relationship. The day after Koch's resignation, Senate Communications Director Michael Brodkorb was fired from his position with the Senate.
For reporters, this promises to be one of those days where you spend hours waiting for news. Today's first challenge was simply finding out where the vote was taking place. Senate GOP communications declined to officially release the location saying they would notify press later this morning. I have managed to find that out via my sources, so now I am headed to the location. I expect to spend several hours camped out by the room where the voting is taking place waiting for the big announcement.
One of Rochester's senators is expecting to be in the running for majority leader. Sen. Dave Senjem, R-Rochester, previously served as minority leader.

Imagine investing with less worry. At Sentry Investments, we apply a consistent and disciplined investment process to calmly create wealth.
Volatility is a common occurrence in the financial markets. Sentry Investments offers an alternative. We apply steadfast discipline to keep your investments on a calmer path to wealth creation.
When we opened our doors in 1997, Sentry was a small mutual fund company with some very big ideas. We focused on delivering superior risk-adjusted returns, which more tangibly translates into growth and income with less volatility. We also believed that to achieve superior results, we needed to do things differently. Over the next 10 years, we attracted a relatively small but loyal group of supporters.
Then came the 2008/09 financial crisis...
Many firms were significantly affected by that crisis. But for us, it was the defining moment in our company's history. Our ability to calmly create wealth during, and since, the 2008/09 financial crisis – one of the most significant market declines since the Great Depression – showed advisors and investors that our style of investing works. Sentry funds are built to perform through volatile markets; those are the times that truly define you as an investment manager. As a result, Canadian investors – through the counsel of their financial advisors – have entrusted more and more of their hard-earned dollars to Sentry. Today, Sentry manages over $18 billion in assets on behalf of more than 500,000 Canadian investors.
Sentry was founded by John F. Driscoll, a passionate, industrious entrepreneur, who was driven by the goal of helping Canadians achieve their investment goals.
Being fully independent means that we are always invested. Invested in the long-term interests of our clients, as opposed to the sometimes short-term interests of shareholders. And personally invested in all aspects of the business, and the mutual success of our clients and our company.
While the number of investors we serve has grown dramatically, we sincerely believe that our disciplined house style can help even more investors – working closely with their financial advisors – achieve their financial goals with the comfort of knowing that their money is in good hands.
And we have no intention of straying from the values or approach that have made us who we are today, one of the last true independents in the Canadian investment industry.

NEW manager Carl Poore insists the lack of a playing budget at Verwood Town need not prove a barrier to progress in the Wessex League Premier Division.
The 31-year-old rookie and former Poole Town favourite made the two-tier jump from Dorset Premier League club Cranborne when he was nam-ed as Adie Arnold's successor at Potterne Park on Friday.
Long-serving Arnold, the most successful manager in Potters' history, stood down a fortnight ago having become frustrated by the battle to make progress without any resources at his disposal.
However, the captain of Poole's promotion-winning side in the Wessex in 2011 believes Town can compete next season, even if that means making steady rather than blistering progress.
Asked whether he had any reservations about working with an amateur side in a largely semi-professional league, Poore told the Daily Echo: "I don't see it as a drawback at all.
"When you pay players, they are far more likely to go elsewhere if they're offered an extra £10 a week. If you pay them nothing, you know straight away that the players are there for the right reasons.
"Verwood have had such a rapid rise under Adie and we have to be realistic. We have to look to comfortably stay in the division for the next couple of seasons, build on the momentum as much as we can and start looking up the table."
Poore will introduce himself to the players at Tuesday's match at Moneyfields before taking control of next Saturday's home match with Fawley.
Verwood lost 5-3 at Totton & Eling yesterday. Nathan Saxby (2) and Jack Lovell were on the scoresheet.
Potters: Lynch, Evans, Harding, Molyneaux, Gajic, Hampton-Brown, N Saxby, M Speechley-Price (Rutten, 80), Lovell, L Speechley-Price L (Kimber, 70), Dyer (Satter-ley, 60). Unused sub: Stroud.

Hamilton girls basketball coach Jeff Kain could have done without the heartburn, but a win is the most important thing in the end, especially this time of year
The Huskies saw an 18-point second-half lead drop to four, but they played smart enough down the stretch to hang on for a 56-47 win over Desert Vista in the opening round of the 5A-I state tournament Thursday night at Hamilton.
"Desert Vista really battled," Kain said. "I don't want to do that again."
The sixth-seeded Huskies went ahead 40-22 on a free throw by Kyndall Adams with 1:48 in the third quarter. From there the Thunder stormed back, finishing the quarter on an 8-0 run and then cutting the deficit to 47-43 on a pair of free throws by Simone Westbrook with 3:32 left in the game. Westbrook had a chance to cut into the lead more on Desert Vista's next possession, but she missed the front end of a one-and-one free throw, and Desert Vista got no closer.
With two minutes to go, Hamilton smartly passed the ball around the perimeter and forced Desert Vista to foul. The Huskies made 7 of 12 free throws down the stretch, which was enough.
"We called the one timeout and told them to really be patient," Kain said. "There was a stretch where they were really jacking up a lot of 3's and too many jumpers."
Hamilton's defense helped it to the big lead early, holding Desert Vista to 18 points in the first half.
The Huskies played a zone that seemed to disrupt Desert Vista and went to double-teams and a box-and-one on Westbrook at times. She averages 17 points per game but had only four until late in the third quarter. Westbrook helped key the comeback and finished with 13.
Hamilton was led by Katrina Ottesen, who finished with 17 points. Adams added 12.
