Jan '06 - Dec '06
High school has not been an easy journey, but rather an "adventurous and epic" time period of my life, just as my Greek name recalls it. Even so, I am always striving to bring the best out of myself as a person but primarily as a student. I am a typical "school boy" without much of a life outside of school, and so, I have and will for a long time dedicate myself to the increasing of my knowledge. This is why, I want to go to college: to make the best out of my character as a student and expand my knowledge of the world.
When I am not doing school work, which is rare, I am reading and researching things out of my own interest. For example, I once read a condensed version of Homer's The Iliad, and as my name kept coming up I found out that it means "a wise walker with an adventurous epic life." These words summed up my character as a person, as well as let me understand Nestor's character within The Iliad. This is one of the few things I do on my spare time: search and understand what is around me.
When I am doing school work, which is most of the time, I am found highly occupied with little time to spare. Occasionally, I am a chicken without a head as I am found rushing around campus doing something for the newspaper, the CSF organization, or my usual work for my academic subjects. This is one of my best skills, time management, as I set myself to daily, weekly, or monthly tasks and goals, and do what I have to do for school. I have always dedicated myself to school, whether it is to my education, or the education and aid of others.
My priority has always been my education, and at this point of my life what I need to look forward to is college. I have heard, read, and seen what goes on in college: the occasional parties, the dorm stories, the fully packed classes, the long hours, the sleepless nights, the long papers ... I could continue. Like high school was, college is going to be a totally new experience where I am going to meet new people, see new places, live experiences, but most of all, learn new things. As a need for my knowledge, I need to learn new things so that I may develop my mind and make it useful for the world. College is my stepping stone to succeed in every academic aspect, and later on, pass on my own knowledge to the generations after me.
High school has taught me as much as it could, and ha molded a thorough student within me. Now, this time period of my life is ending and I need to start a new period. Going to college will develop even more my character as a student and hopefully my character as a person, and so, the new experiences will turn this "school boy" into a proud master of the academics. As I become superior academically, I will be reaching my potential as a student and then reach my height in the knowledge of the world that surrounds me, and then ID #****** will turn from a Social Security number, to Nestor J. Saavedra.

... that's right, nothing but studying, and studying, and more studying. Turns out I like to study so much and be involved with problem solving, that I ended up changing majors: now I am a Civil Engineer Major ... and not even at the same school where I started out my academic life at. Getting ready for some new adventures, and reminiscing about the old ones which were primarily full of drama. But like everyone says: "That's life" ... and I'm just starting mine :)

A recent blog post in the Harvard Business Review raised the one of the most annoying and common problems of modern day office life: the "'busy' humble-brag".
Everyone, just everyone, complains about how busy (or tired) they are at work. No one can even be plain busy – they are "slammed" or "buried", writes Meredith Fineman, a publicist. Each employee, she says, is locked in a competitive battle of hyperbolic one-upmanship.
Ms Fineman's favourite humble-brag (a brag because, of course, it also shows your importance) was "that of a potential client who apologized for lack of communication due to a '"week-long fire drill'. What does that even mean? Does this mean there were fake fires, but not real ones, all week? Does calling it a 'drill' mean that everything is okay? Is your business in flames? Should I call someone?" Read more

Kuala Lumpur, Jan. 30 (ANI): The Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) has urged the government to lift the suspension of Viswaroopam, a Tamil film directed by legendary Indian actor Kamal Hassan.
MIC strategic director S. Vell Paari said the spy thriller portrayed incidents of terrorism but had nothing to do with religion. He joined the call by Hindraf Makkal Sakti for the Government to allow the screening of the movie, reports The Star.
Vell Paari added that he had extended an invitation to Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and his officers to attend a special screening of the movie and decide whether it was anti-Islam as alleged by some quarters.
The Film Censorship Board of Malaysia had initially approved Viswaroopam for public viewing and Lotus Fivestar AV started screening the movie on Jan 24. The approval, however, was withdrawn the next day following a Home Ministry directive.
The board's control and enforcement division secretary Razak Derahman said the movie was suspended on Hishammuddin's orders.
Meanwhile, Penang Hindu Association deputy president P. Murugiah said the Government must be consistent with their guidelines on the screening of films in the country.
He said the association had, in 2008, called on the Government not to allow the screening of the Mike Myers movie, The Love Guru, which allegedly had elements that were sensitive to Hindus.
The film, written and produced by Myers, who also acted in it, starred several renowned names, including Justin Timberlake and Ben Kingsley. It was a flop at the box office.(ANI)

By Lynn Mitchell:
BJ Penn was the inaugural guest of Just Scrap Radio after attending UFC on Fuel 2 Gustafsson vs Silva – the 1st UFC Sweden. The interview began with The Prodigy expressing to Pulver and the listeners the explosive growth of MMA and the UFC.
"It was a great show – it goes to show how much the sport is growing. It's growing leaps and bounds."
BJ describes a signing he did along side Tito Ortiz, Cheick Kongo and Jake Shields in a small fight shop.
"We had 500 people standing in the snow – I mean it was real snow. It was snowing and everybody was outside. It's cold in Sweden and the fans are pumped everyone was pumped the show went well."
"The Swedes were really behind their fighters – Gustafsson & everybody. They have their little chants going and different things. MMA is becoming very big news – very fast. It has definitely come along way."
BJ clarifies to Pulver – he is not cornering anyone during his travels. Over the last couple of years The Prodigy organically grew to be an ambassador of the sport. He hasn't stopped trotting the globe since his last fight. BJ flew out to the Philippines representing the UFC, was in Sweden for UFC on Fuel 2 during this radio interview, and is currently in Puerto Rico for the UFC 145 viewing party – to help with the promotion of the UFC in Puerto Rico.
"[I've been] traveling around going to these new markets, tryna help them open it up and get fans and get everybody excited about the sport and I like it – I don't mind doing it at all. It's fun I get to see new places. It's cool I get to see the new fans and get to see how the sport is growing."
"It's just crazy. It's on another level – we know how big the sport is in the US and we know NBA, NFL and all that stuff and how big everything is in the US but the UFC is really catching on internationally. There's no stopping this thing it's just gonna keep going."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/12/2013 (1337 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Projects in the RMs of Cartier, Headingley and Macdonald are included in the $1.6 million total to be spent improving municipal roads, Municipal Government Minister Stan Struthers announced on Dec. 13.
Work on Alinson Road, drainage repairs and slope rehabilitation are slated for the RM of Cartier. Improvements on Roblin Boulevard and road rehabilitation were listed for the RM of Headingley, with work on Kingswood Crescent and road rehabilitation scheduled for the RM of Macdonald.
"Good roads are the arteries of a healthy economy and must be continually maintained and improved to help businesses in our communities thrive and grow with good jobs for our young people at home," Struthers said in a release. "This funding is directed at the roads Manitobans have prioritized and reflects our government's commitment to support economic growth in the strong communities in this region."
Twenty-five central Manitoba communities identified 33 roads requiring replacement or repairs that will receive provincial funding, Struthers said. Across the province, the Manitoba government will upgrade 260 kilometres of municipal roads by investing $21 million, with municipal governments matching that investment.
"Today's announcement is a good example of municipalities and the province working together," Doug Dobrowolski,
Association of Manitoba Municipalities president and RM of Macdonald councillor said in the release. "Investing in core infrastructure like roads and water projects helps make our communities economically viable, which in turn makes Manitoba stronger."

@chansearrington who works at Nokia has been asking on Twitter what Nokia's new naming convention should be for the U.S.A. Many names have been suggested, such as Phoenix, Fusion, and Genesis. The problem with these names is that they could not possibly follow a logical order; a famous flagship successor would have to entirely change its name and this is a problem. Manufacturers want to conserve the brand, like Samsung trying to preserve the famous Galaxy S name with its successor, the Galaxy S2. So what about numbers? They are logical and follow a pattern: Nokia 800, Nokia 900, Nokia 950 and so forth, but numbers aren't as memorable as names.
I have been giving this issue a thought and I think I could have stumbled upon a practical answer. Why not using the periodic table of the elements to name Nokia phones? The advantage is that it follows a pattern, and elements have very memorable names. I know that the name would not be conserved like say iPhone/iPhone 3G, but it would be evident that they are all elements; plus, Nokia could reference it somehow in their advertisements. I would also skip ugly names such as "Beryllium" and "Sodium." So future Nokia phones could have names as follows: Nokia Helium, Nokia Lithium, Nokia Boron, Nokia Carbon, Nokia Silicon, Nokia Neon, Nokia Scandium, Nokia Titanium, Nokia Cobalt, Nokia Argon etc…. Another advantage of this system is that elements have two letter "nicknames," so people could refer to Nokia phones as Nokia Carbon = Nokia C, or Nokia Argon = Nokia Ar.
So what do you guys think?

Adobe Flash updated for Android 4.0
That certainly didn't take too long. The same day that the Galaxy Nexus (and therefore Ice Cream Sandwich) made its official debut in the US, Adobe updated the Flash player for compatibility with the new Android OS.
There had been some slight worry that Adobe wouldn't update Flash all that quickly and would leave Galaxy Nexus owners out of the loop, but those fears have been addressed. Today, Adobe released an update bringing Flash to version 220.127.116.11. The update really doesn't do anything except add ICS support, although Adobe does list a few known issues to be aware of, including:
So, Flash is there, but it's not 100%. Still, this is good news, and if you want the Adobe Flash player, it's available for free in the Android Market.

If you've had enough of squeezing yourself onto a packed beach full of people and noise, you're probably looking for something like Merón Beach. On the edge of the lovely town San Vicente de la Barquera, the beach has some of the longest shores in Cantabria, with nearly 4km of fine white sand, where you can stroll along the waterline, forget stress and discover the true meaning of the word holiday. If you're a surfer, the area is popular for its waves and its winds. Fresh, clean and overlooked by the mountains, the beach is the ideal place to spend an entire day of rest and recuperation. You won't ever want to go home.

North Fork of the White River- 11/20 and 11/21
I went down with a bunch of regulars from the shop for a weekend trip to the North Fork of the White River in southern Missouri. Fishing was pretty decent, lots of fun all around!
Saturday I set out in a borrowed personal pontoon boat, floating from Patrick Bridge Access downstream to James Bridge. We floated from about 10:30 am to 4:30 in the afternoon, and I brought a half-dozen or so browns to the boat, all about 12-13 inches long, on Pat's rubberleg stoneflies. I LDR'ed a couple more because I couldn't figure out the braking mechanism on the pontoon boat, and drifted helplessly downstream as the fish went the opposite direction. The biggest I saw was around 14 inches. I did have something scary big break me off 3x tippet, on a big sculpin pattern I was swimming through a deep, bouldery pool.
Sunday I fished out of a friend's drift boat, through the same section as the day before. Had another good day fishing Pat's Rubberlegs. I boated a half-dozen fish, the biggest being a pair of 15 inch browns, and LDR'ed three or four more. Most of the fish came on the big stonefly, but I caught one on an egg dropper and another on a soft hackle.
The big plus was the weather- in the low to mid seventies towards the end of November! I was fishing in short-sleeves and a pair of cheap Cabela's waders, and sweating! It was absolutely gorgeous.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Lavomatic Cafe Restaurant Review: Lavomatic Café's kitchen, which utilizes locally sourced ingredients, turns out not quite meat-and-potatoes cuisine. The vegetable "spaghetti" and "meatballs" is actually julienne zucchini and carrots with black bean balls and smoky tomato sauce. Grilled summer sirloin with smoked arugula, roasted peach salsa and coitja cheese is code for cheeseburger. This is also a fine drinking establishment, so one may frequent the place simply for a craft cocktail.

High fat diet linked to bowel cancer
Bowel cancer and high fat diets could be linked, warn scientists.
A report in Science magazine said the body could be incapable of coping with large amounts of the acid produced by breaking down cholesterol.
When the body metabolises the cholesterol from fatty foods it produces bile acids.
These acids then go into the small intestine where they are then broken down again into secondary products - one of these is lithocholic acid (LCA).
Highly toxic
Unlike most other acids LCA remains in the gut and then goes into the large intestine or colon, instead of circulating to the liver.
Dr David Mangelsdorf, a pharmacology expert, from the University of Texas said the acid had been shown to cause cancer in mice.
"Lithocholic acid is highly toxic and builds up in a high-fat diet.
"We don't know how it causes cancer, but it is known to cause cancer in mice, and people with colon cancer have high concentrations of it."
The scientists said vitamin D, which is already thought to reduce the risk of heart disease, can keep LCA levels under control.
Using mice they found that the vitamin triggered production of an enzyme which broke down the acid.
But the scientists warned that vitamin D should not be overdone because an excessive build-up of the calcium can itself be toxic.

Quaker Valley board will use reserve to bridge budget gap
Quaker Valley school board members plan to use reserve funds to balance a more than $42 million budget for the following school year.
District leaders say the budget gap is roughly $192,000.
Board members approved the district's proposed final budget last week, 7-0. Members David Pusateri and Debbie Miller were absent, spokeswoman Tina Vojtko said.
The board will vote on a final budget next month.
Under the proposed final budget, board members could approve a millage of 16.93, though the number still could slightly change based on Allegheny County assessment numbers, Vojtko said.
"I emphasize that this budget is preliminary," Superintendent Joseph Clapper said. "We remain hopeful that state allocations to public schools will increase beyond the governor's proposed budget, and we are awaiting the most up-to-date figures from Allegheny County regarding property assessments."
Under the proposed millage, the owner of a Sewickley Borough home valued at $180,600 — the average median value, according to the Allegheny County treasurer's office — would pay $3,058 in taxes. That's about $800 less than the current year with a property-tax rate of 21.25 mills.
In Bell Acres, the owner of a home valued at the borough's median of $139,550 would pay $2,363 — a drop of about $600.
A majority of the district revenues – 84 percent — are derived from local taxpayers, district leaders say.
The 2013-14 year budget is about 2.68 percent larger than the current year's budget.
Of that, 2.18 percent represents state-mandated increases to employee retirement costs, according to district officials.
Employee groups — including administrators — in the district will see wage concessions and freezes, Clapper said.
"We continue to work diligently to reduce expenditures and create efficiencies while preserving our quality educational programs," he said. "Our staff understands the financial challenges that public schools face."
The proposed final budget keeps the district's contribution to the Sewickley Public Library at $497,000.
Among new and continuing initiatives included in the budget is the potential to transform the middle school library into an "educational space that fosters innovation and creativity for 21st-century learners where students choose to spend their time," Vojtko said.

Denizens, I was going to have a piece my sister-in-law (aka the Sibling Unit's Spousal Unit (grin)) had emailed me for you early this morning.
Wouldn't you know it – we couldn't find Mrs. Venomous' voter ID card, and spent 20 minutes finding it, so there went that.
That said, if you haven't voted – and you still have time – please, by all means do so.
And remember the adage I post every year about this time: Vote for whomever you wish – just don't vote Demoscum.
Good hunting, guys. Let's kick Bambi's ass!
UPDATE: If possible I'll be trying to do some live victory-party blogging from Dallas GOP party headquarters in north Dallas.
Henderson's with me, and we'll try to pull Mitt through for ya.

Traveling with a pal, the 'Superbad' actor panicked for 'about 20 minutes' before they were finally rescued by locals.
Actor Michael Cera feared for his life on a recent road trip to the Colorado wilderness after he and a friend got lost during a hike up a mountain. The "Superbad" star drove from his native Ontario, Canada to tour the U.S. with a pal, but the trip took a turn for the worse when the pair went hiking in Denver last month.
Cera remembers, "We went up and we climbed up on a mountain by the Red Rocks, which is a big boulder in Denver, and we got lost and actually very nearly died... The sun was very slowly going down so it didn't really seem urgent."
They realized they were lost when they turned around to return to their car. And Cera panicked for "about 20 minutes" before they were finally rescued by locals. He explains: "The minutes felt like hours. I didn't know how long we were gonna be stuck out there. I didn't know what kind of wildlife was out there."
"Miraculously we were rescued by these two night climbers with lights on their heads who knew the mountains... We were doubting ourselves and turning on each other. We never would have found it... we were hopelessly lost."

Park Rapids speech team places well at home tourney
Century School was buzzing with activity Saturday at the Park Rapids Area High School home speech tournament.
Park Rapids placed third out of 24 schools behind Walker in first place and Bemidji in second place.
After participating in different speech categories, such as great speeches, poetry, prose or discussion, students wait to see who advanced to the final round.
Amber Dearstyne, a Park Rapids senior, participated in poetry reading on Saturday. As students crowded around waiting for final round postings, she waited off to the side with her headphones on.
"The final rounds get pretty wild, I like to stay back," she said.
Dearstyne has participated in speech for four years.
"I like all the friends I've met, it's a lot of fun to see their take on the different categories," she said.
Jacob Froelich and Luke Swenson, also from the Park Rapids team, were standing amid the crowd waiting for final round postings.
"It's a pretty big meet, it's intense," Swenson said.
They like socializing with students they have met at different speech meets, they said.
Park Rapids speech coach Deb Davis was running around Saturday putting up postings of the final round participants.
Several Park Rapids students received medals at the event.
First place medals went to Jason Dennis and Luke Swenson. Second place medals went to Matt Walker and Tony Schmid. Fourth place finalists were Nathan Gebhard, Sophie Shogren and Sarah Schultz. Fifth place went to Carson Christenson and Amber Dearstyne. Alana McKeever came in eighth in poetry. Placing ninth were Jake Froelich, Leah Meinert, Paula Guajardo, and Travis Atkinson.

Seniors club offering new ride program
Wednesday, Jan 22, 2014 06:00 am
Low-income seniors in need of a ride can apply to a new pilot project from the 50+ Club.
The club has started co-ordinating rides for qualifying seniors through the services of volunteer drivers.
�We did our first actual transportation on the 16th of December,� said transportation co-ordinator Heike Hatcher. �It�s meant for seniors that are 65-plus that receive Alberta Seniors Benefits.�
The seniors aren�t charged anything for the rides. Drivers will take them to medical appointments, family visits, shopping or social engagements within St. Albert or from St. Albert to Edmonton.
�That�s a free service for seniors,� Hatcher said, noting volunteer drivers generously cover their gas costs.
The program is paid for by a combination of grants from the Alberta Lottery Fund, New Horizons for Seniors, Shaw and Family and Community Support Services, Hatcher said.
At the beginning of January Hatcher had 11 volunteers for driving duties. Six seniors were registered and more were in the process of applying.
To get started on getting registered, seniors who qualify can contact Hatcher and then go in for a meeting.
�The seniors that can apply for the program and qualify for it, they talk to me and it�s all confidential,� Hatcher said.
Once they�re registered they can call for a ride, but are asked to book a week in advance so a volunteer can be arranged.
Seniors using the service need to be able to make their own decisions and get in and out of the car on their own, Hatcher said. Collapsible wheelchairs or walkers are allowed.
�The seniors are very grateful. They all have different circumstances and for them to be able to take a cab ride into Edmonton, for example, it�s just way too expensive,� she said.
The two-year pilot project came about as a result because it was identified as a need by the seniors working group, in which many agencies and stakeholders participate.
Fern Proulx is a volunteer driver with the program.
�I�ve done it before and I quite enjoy working with that age of people because they really appreciate [it],� the local real estate agent said. He heard about the volunteer opportunity via the Rotary club.
He said the gas and time is �not a big deal� as often the requests are for locations relatively close to his office.
�Usually an hour does it,� Proulx said. �I probably get one or two calls a week.�
He�d participated as a volunteer in a similar program run out of Edmonton, but stopped as he found it was too time consuming. The St. Albert program thus far has been a better fit.
�This is perfect for anybody who has a little bit of time on their hands in St. Albert,� Proulx said.

Meet Ed Tillinghast, UNH's Spider Man
One night when Ed Tillinghast and his wife were settling into a motel room, he discovered that one of his spiders had escaped. And this was no ordinary spider.
The Tillinghasts were on one of innumerable trips they've taken over the years to collect specimens of Argiope aurantia, the striking black and yellow garden spider with an elbow-length black glove on each of its eight legs. They grow them big down South, and this one may well have measured 3 inches across, from tip to tip. Tillinghast wasn't concerned about the loss of the spider—nor was he worried that it would hurt anyone. Garden spiders rarely bite, and even if one did, its venom wouldn't be harmful, he says. He just didn't want to scare the hotel housekeeper to death.
After searching the room, Tillinghast finally gave up and went to bed. Then in the middle of the night, he awoke with a start. He could feel the light, tickling touch of the spider's feet as it crawled across his forehead. "Margaret!" he cried out in joy and relief. "I found it!"
Tillinghast, a professor emeritus of zoology who has studied spiders for more than 35 years, is full of similar tales, but he insists that he's really no different from you or me. "It's not any special quality I have," he says. "I often pick up Argiope with my bare hands because I know its behavior. I wouldn't think of picking up a tarantula."
He acknowledges that he had no fear of garden spiders—"candy spiders," his older brother Howie called them—when he first noticed them at age 8 on a Rhode Island farm. Their parents had separated before Ed turned 2, and he spent his childhood moving from foster home to foster home. No one could have imagined he would ever become a scientist, let alone one who would make significant contributions to the understanding of spiders and the industrial-strength fibers and glues they produce. Spiders ultimately became one of the joys of his life, nonetheless, and although he has studied black widows, brown recluses, barn spiders (of Charlotte's Web fame) and more, the garden spider remains his favorite.
A Breed Apart
"All my life, I've been interested in the damnedest things," says Tillinghast. Chicken blood. Earthworms. Spider saliva, silk and glue. The field of arachnology is a relatively small one, with no more than a thousand researchers worldwide—and, as a group, they're a rather odd species. Required for the job, it seems, is a certain quirkiness, a taste for black humor and a commitment to reason in the face of a subject that courts hysteria. For some, the quest leads to unorthodox, even masochistic, scientific methods.
Arachnologists, for example, have a long history of convincing spiders to bite them, often in an effort to prove the creatures harmless. In 1923, to determine if black widows were poisonous, zoologist W.J. Baerg was able to induce one to bite his finger and inject its venom for a full five seconds. Then he documented the widespread pain, hallucinations and respiratory effects that ensued. He was hospitalized for three days and took a week to recover. In his classes at the University of Arkansas, he would pass a tarantula around the room from hand to hand, to acquaint students with the hairy giant—and to build character. In 30 years, he noted, only one student was bitten. (A North American tarantula bite, experts say, is comparable to a bee sting.)
Tillinghast, a gentle white-haired man with an almost courtly manner, is hardly the type to force students to handle a tarantula. Still, his methods do sound like something out of a campy horror movie. He's been known to mechanically extract a spider's silk by winding it on a drill bit; he's coaxed spiders to drink radioactive cocktails and then fed the resulting webs to other spiders. Some scientists go so far as to "milk" the venom from tranquilized spiders while administering an electric shock. For brown recluse research, Tillinghast prefers a simpler approach—killing the spider, removing its fangs and extracting the venom. "I could show you how to do it easily," he says. READ MORE >>

Demand for Pasture-Raised Livestock Products: Results from Michigan Retail Surveys
Pasture-raised livestock production offers opportunity for product differentiation and enhanced sustainability. Shopper surveys at three Michigan retail locations measured consumers' attitudes and beliefs regarding pasture-raised livestock products, and willingness to pay for pasture-raised milk and beef. The shoppers associate pasture-raised products with attributes important to purchase decisions. The shoppers express willingness to pay, on average, about 35% more for pasture-raised milk and beef. Informational messages appear to have no effect on these responses. We suggest pasture-raised is a viable marketing strategy and recommend premium pricing strategies and promotion based on verifiable health benefits.

It's a 'definite possibility,' so the Playboy boss says of having Robert Downey Jr. playing him in his biopic.
Playboy boss Hugh Hefner will veto any film about his amazing life unless "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr. plays the lead. The tycoon is convinced Downey, Jr. is the only actor who can play him on the big screen - and the publisher told the star just that when they met on the red carpet at the "Iron Man 2" premiere in Los Angeles on Monday night, April 26.
Hefner says, "I told him, 'I couldn't do better'." The Playboy boss admits he's still waiting for the right screenplay, but the "Sherlock Holmes" star will get the call when the film is ready to go.
Furthermore, the Playboy boss told Hollyscoop when met at the same occasion that he loves Robert Downey Jr., saying that having the actor playing him is a "definite possibility."

Hudson -- A slow start hurt the Hudson boys basketball team in its first meeting with Northeast Ohio Conference River Division rival Brush Jan. 3.
This time, the Explorers got off to a much better start.
Unfortunately for Hudson, it didn't matter.
The Arcs swept the season series with the Explorers after posting a 66-55 victory Feb. 7 at Ray "Buck" Hyser Gymnasium.
When Hudson met Brush (12-5, 5-3) the first time, the Arcs took a 15-0 lead en route to a 63-56 win. This time, the Explorers had an 18-13 advantage after one quarter.
And then the shots stopped falling for Hudson.
The Explorers (8-8, 2-6) went on a cold streak that began midway through the second quarter and continued until the fourth period began.
"We had a pretty solid first half, but one negative for us has been our failure to execute at the end of quarters," Hudson head coach Jeff Brink said. "The key was the third quarter and our failure to execute. That put us behind the eight ball. The third quarter was ugly."
The Explorers made 12 of their first 21 shots to take a 30-25 lead with 3 minutes, 28 seconds left in the first half.
And then nothing went right for Hudson.
The Explorers didn't score from the floor for the rest of the first half.
Sadly for Hudson, that was just the beginning.
The Explorers made one field goal in the third quarter and had a stretch where they missed 19 of 20 shots.
Brush took control of the game with an 18-5 run.
Still, though, Hudson stayed in the game, thanks to its defense and work on the offensive glass.
Despite playing without their starting post, 6-foot-5 senior Derek Schwarz, who was out with a bruised wrist, the Explorers outrebounded the taller Arcs 11-7 in the third quarter.
But Hudson couldn't make shots.
Brendan Burdett's layup was the only bucket for the Explorers in the third period. The Arcs led 43-35 heading into the final eight minutes.
Nevertheless, Hudson made things interesting.
John Zuccaro, who finished with 10 points, and Burdett knocked down 3-pointers to cut Brush's lead to three (56-53) with 2:15 left.
But Chris Oakley, who finished with nine points, buried a 3 moments later for the Arcs and Brush made seven of their last eight foul shots to seal the deal.
Oakley scored 23 points and made seven 3-pointers the last time he faced the Explorers.
"We did a pretty fair job on Oakley in the first half," Brink said.
"Mitch [Guadagni] did a phenomenal job in the box.
"He [Oakley] had only four points with Mitch on him in three quarters. We wanted to force other players to make shots."
Unfortunately for Brink, other players did make shots.
Delvon Robinson led the Arcs with 19 points and Alfonso Onunwar added 18 points.
Guadagni and Kevin Zullo each had 14 points to lead Hudson, which earned a 37-26 win in the junior varsity contest.
Zack Meder led the Explorers with 21 points in the JV game.
Hudson earned the 16th seed at the Canton/Copley Division I sectional tournament.
The Explorers are scheduled to visit 11th-seeded Green in a sectional semifinal contest Feb. 26 at 7 p.m.
The winner is set to play at sixth-seeded Austintown Fitch in a sectional title game March 1 at 4 p.m.
If Hudson wins its two sectional contests, it is scheduled to compete in district play at Copley High School.
The top four seeds are Massillon Jackson, Uniontown Lake, Medina and Canton Timken.
The Explorers were scheduled to visit NOC foe North Royalton Feb. 11. Results were not available at press time.
They are set to visit River Division rival Cuyahoga Falls Feb. 14. Varsity game time is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Wittenberg Hosts Event To Analyze Drone Surveillance Tactics
Springfield, Ohio – The Wittenberg University Department of Sociology, the Sociology Club, the Wittenberg Student Peace Alliance and the Department of Theatre and Dance are co-sponsoring a campus event of the Know Drones Tour, a national sidewalk education project aimed at informing the public on the impact of drone war and drone surveillance. The tour will visit campus from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 16, at the Benham-Pence Student Center.
The program will include a reading of The Predator by Wittenberg students studying in the Theatre and Dance Department. The play, authored by Jack Gilroy, playwright, novelist and peace worker, addresses drone warfare and has been performed at Georgetown and Syracuse Universities, among other venues.
The Ohio Air National Guard's 178th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing is flying MQ-1 Predator drones, a remotely controlled attack aircraft, from its base at the Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport.
"People in the Dayton-Springfield area are being asked to be part of more and more drone development," said Nick Mottern, director of the tour. "We will be raising questions about where drones are taking us as a nation, as communities and individuals, and whether we want to go there."
At 1 p.m. a formal presentation on current and future drone use, particularly as drones relate to controlling resources, labor and populations, will take place in the lower level of the student center. The reading of The Predator will begin at 2 p.m. and a discussion will follow. An informal discussion at 4 p.m. will conclude the day's events.
"We are hoping that people from the Springfield community, particularly members of the Air National Guard, will attend the program at Wittenberg," Mottern said.

"Great for serious learners."
If you want to learn a few phrases, this is the wrong course. If you want to be fluent in 2 months, you're kidding yourself. If you have a realistic perspective of language learning, have learned the Cyrillic alphabet (not necessary but you'll save yourself a lot of trouble if you do) then the next step is this course.
The course has set a fantastic groundwork for you to build your language learning up on. This course isn't audio only and the accompanying PDF files are massive so I'd recommend you use this course with a tablet or be willing to print 600-odd pages.
Narrators are very casual to try and relax things, and the PDF document goes into the language and notes some points on grammar. It also aids in immersion.
I strongly recommend this course along with setting your facebook and phone to Russian (Русский(RU)) and use Oxford's Russian Dictionary (ISBN: 978-0-19-957643-2 available on Amazon) to aid in the immersion/language learning process.
"great verbose Introduction to Russian"
I feel I've gained quite a lot from this audio book and it has been a valuable supplement to my ongoing Russian studies
"Always good to learn a language"
I find the presentation of this very unprofessional. I'm finding it difficult to get past the fake jollity. The first three hours of this is pointless, not so much for the information but the presentation style makes it almost unbearable. Could we have a more professional presentation style please, your listeners are not morons.
The presenters think they are teaching five year old children.
Yes if the production wasn't so moronic.
It's always good to learn a language and seeking help anywhere is useful.
This is a competitive market, don't lose your place in it by trying to palm people off with this.
different teachers
pretty much yes
the teachers are so annoying couldn't even get past the first couple minutes
there was a pdf attached

|Deviant Art
The way you gave the car a luster really made it look appealing. The clever use of light to give it that warm yet fierce look. The design is very faithful to the real car. Rims look authorative yet something which would be seen on a street racer's car(which is all the better)
Now onto the police stuff about it.
The sirens could use a bit of work, but look impressive nonetheless. The way you managed to give it the cssic police paint job yet keep it sporty with well placed black and white coloration. The detailing is very impressive, with the number of the car placed very well. I like how you put little lights inside the air intakes. You even placed the small yet oh-so-importany side lights ate front and towards the back (correct me if im wrong).
The backrounds are beautiful and well detailed. You even captured the shadow of the car perfectly. Never has a police car been so well done.
The reason I gave origionality a 4 1/2 is let's face it, tuing supercars into cop crusiers isnt exactly new. We've been seeing it since the 80's.
Overall, I give 10 starss due to the well done vehicle, impressive shadows, and amazing detail.
No comments have been added yet.

my friend has been asking me for advice about getting pregnant with blocked tubes from scar tissue. i feel awful because she wants a baby badly, but to her it seems impossible. she was told by the doc that her tubes are blocked because of scar tissue from a surgery. he told her he would need to remove it, but there is a chance it could scar again. how successful is this surgery? i read about alternative treatments (accupunture). is that successful? i believe in accupunture as it helped me through labor! but my friend does not think it will help. any success stories out there???

Poonam Pandey Cleavage Show
October 11th, 2013
This would be for the first time that Shahrukh Khan will be playing a superhero in a Bollywood film. Opposite him is the youth sensation Kareena Kapoor. Perhaps she is the lady who has worked with the three mighty 'Khans' of the industry – Salman, Aamir and Shahrukh.
This upcoming Bollywood science-fiction superhero film is directed by Anubhav Sinha and produced under Red Chillies Entertainment Production Company, headed by Shahrukh and his wife Gauri Khan. David Benullo has written the script for the movie and Vishal – Shekhar have composed the music. An added attraction is the song of Akon that is already being aired on television. Slated for a Diwali release, this movie is much awaited by fans of Shahrukh and Kareena.
The story of Ra.One is about G.One (Jeevan) played by Shahrukh Khan. He is a software engineer based inMiami who loves playing video games. He always tries to beat a villain in game named Ra.One.
In an attempt to connect with his son, Jeevan makes a video game villain and this villianious program becomes self aware and elopes from the game itself. The plot of Ra. One revolves round the tyranny of this villain and G.One's attempt to save this world from his enslavement.
The theme of Ra.One is fresh and ultimate. Music compositions are also catchy. As it is set for a festival release, it might get the privilege and become a hit at box office. Well, what is in store for Ra. One is yet to be seen.
Stars: Shahrukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Satish Shah
Director: Anubhav Sinha
Producer: Gauri Khan
Music: Vishal – Shekhar
Genre: Sci – Fi

YOUNG professionals in Bournemouth are bucking the national trend and managing to afford to rent a place of their own, a study has revealed.
The town centre is one of ten locations nationwide identified as a hotspot for "Flying Solo" in a survey by Experian.
It says Bournemouth, along with other towns and cities such as Guildford, Uxbridge and Oxford, offers affordable rental property for young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 on starter salaries.
And it said those in the "Flying Solo" category are enjoying life and not worrying about the future.
In contrast, a study by charity Shelter has revealed that more young adults across the UK than ever are still living with their parents.
An estimated two million working adults between 20 and 34-years-old are still in the family home because they cannot afford to rent or buy a home.
Campbell Robb, chief executive of Shelter, called for action to help them and said: ''The 'clipped wing generation' are finding themselves with no choice but to remain living with mum and dad well into adulthood, as they struggle to find a home of their own.
''Rather than pumping more money into schemes like Help to Buy, we need bolder action that will meet the demand for affordable homes and not inflate prices further."
