Explore ice fishing with a youth, without a license this weekend
Minnesotans who would like to introduce a child to ice fishing can do so without a fishing license from Feb. 16-18, during Take-A-Kid Ice Fishing Weekend, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
Minnesota residents age 16 and older can fish without a license, provided they are helping a youth younger than 16.
Using the tips, activities and ideas provided at www.mndnr.gov/minnaqua/icefishing makes it easy for beginners to get out on the ice and enjoy one of Minnesota's wintertime activities.
"It takes little equipment and even less expertise," said Mike Kurre, the DNR's mentoring program coordinator. "Just do a little planning and don't be afraid to ask a nearby angler to drill a hole or two. Most will be glad to help."
Ice never is completely safe, even in mid-winter. Check with a local bait shop or people familiar with ice conditions before heading out on the lake.

I got this used bike on my birthday and I am happy with it. it's perfect for biking around the streets and in parks. the brakes need a little bit of fixing, but this is because the bike is not new. Also, I had to take it to service before riding it, but after that, it went very smoothly and nice. Love my new bike!

We love Sarah's style…Because a playsuit is this summer's statement piece. Taking inspiration from Celine's spring/summer 10 collection, the playsuit has been reinvented from seasons before. Now it is less eighties and more elegant. Paul & Joe sister's design has a dropped waist, simple belt and minimal button details. Accessories are key to Sarah's look; her white ankle socks add a playful charm whilst her Marc by Marc Jacobs bracelets and D&G bag provide a vintage sophistication to polish off this summer look.

'Real Housewives' Mauricio Umansky Cheated on Kyle Richards? Actress Makes Explosive Claim (VIDEO)
Reality TV star Mauricio Umansky has denied reports of a cheating scandal stemming from explosive claims made by a Hollywood actress and glamour model.
Tess Broussard of Comedy Central's "Kroll Show" revealed Tuesday that Umansky allegedly admitted to being unfaithful in his 17-year marriage to "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards.
Broussard claims that she and a friend were once approached by Umansky, 42, at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel bar. The trio allegedly engaged in a conversation during which the father of four was forward and made a startling confession.
"I'm married, but I stray once in a while," Umansky allegedly told the women, as reported by Star magazine.
A representative for Umansky has denied Broussard's claims, insisting that the Beverly Hills based broker was simply being "friendly."
"[Mauricio's] networking and being friendly and pleasant, and this is construed as flirting. He is a good looking guy," Umansky's rep explained.
A separate source, however, claims that the real estate broker has a history of infidelity which Richards is allegedly oblivious to.
"There are tons of stories circulating about his extra-marital activities it is common knowledge in their social circles," the source told Star.
"The only person who doesn't know is Kyle, she is so proud of her sexy husband, but if she ever found out about his flings, it would destroy her," the source continued.
The couple, who wed in 1996, recently appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" in which they insisted they have a happy marriage and family life.
In a separate interview with People magazine, Umansky opened up about how he and Richards, 44, maintain a happy and healthy marriage.
"We're the same, with or without cameras. We're just super real and we know each other and we're real," Umansky told People.
"We don't have any secrets to hide. That's one thing we talked about, the skeletons in the closet, and we can handle our worst skeletons," he continued.

Press Release: IMF Approves Second Annual Arrangement Under the ESAF Loan for Burkina Faso
September 9, 1997
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved the second annual arrangement for Burkina Faso under the Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility (ESAF),1 in an amount equivalent to SDR 13.26 million (about US$18 million), to support the government's economic program covering July 1, 1997 to June 30, 1998. The loan is available in two equal semiannual installments, the first of which can be drawn on September 15, 1997.
Under the 1996 program, Burkina Faso made important progress in strengthening its public finances and widening the revenue base, while containing and improving the composition of expenditure. Progress was also made in strengthening the banking system through privatizations and liquidations, and in resuming the pace of public enterprise privatization, which has slowed in recent years. Budgetary expenditure controls were improved, and the monitoring of tax exemptions intensified. Substantial real GDP growth was achieved, and inflation fell sharply after a spur in mid-1996.
The 1997-98 Program
The economic program for 1997-98 focuses on achieving a further increase in the budgetary revenue to GDP ratio and an acceleration of structural reforms. The key macroeconomic goals are to achieve a real GDP growth rate above 6 percent, contain the rate of inflation at 3 percent and reduce the external current account deficit to 10.5 percent of GDP. To achieve these objectives, fiscal policy will aim at increasing the primary budgetary surplus to 1.9 percent of GDP in 1997 from 1.7 percent in 1996 through a rise in the revenue-to-GDP ratio to 12.9 percent of GDP in 1997 from 12.3 percent in 1996, reflecting the full year impact of the rise in the value added tax rate to 18 percent from 15 percent implemented in September 1996, and a further increase of customs revenues on account of further reductions in exonerations from taxes. The monitoring of budgetary expenditures will be improved further, owing to the computerization of the budgetary cycle. Monetary policy will seek to contain bank credit expansion, in line with the inflation objectives of the program.
Structural Reforms
In the structural reform area, the government has taken a number of steps to speed up the execution of the privatization program and will also develop a strategy to open public utilities toprivate participation. In the agricultural sector, the government will deregulate the rice and sugar sectors, eliminate nontariff barriers to trade, and restructure the cotton sector by reinforcing the role of farmers' cooperatives. As part of the effort to facilitate private sector activities, the government will also improve the functioning of the judicial system by recruiting new magistrates and computerizing courts and tribunals.
Addressing Social Needs
The government has defined precise quantitative objectives in the education and health sectors aimed at correcting the major weaknesses of the past. The enrollment rate in primary schools and the enrollment rate for girls will be increased gradually over time, as well as the number of health centers.
The Challenge Ahead
There are serious weaknesses in the present social indicators, indicating that substantial improvements have to be achieved over the next decade. This will require that not only more resources be allocated to health and education, but also that improvements be introduced in the provision of services to ensure that resources are used more effectively.
Burkina Faso joined the IMF on May 2, 1963, and its quota2 is SDR 44.2 million (about US$60 million). Its outstanding use of IMF financing currently totals SDR 63 million (about US$85 million).

wait...i thought that you were able to get into recovery mode!!! how did you do the update????
and then you said this:
Will a D3-2 drive read a burnt disc in recovery mode?
I have a friend who says he uninstalled priiloader. Not entirely sure how he went about doing this, but when he was done, all that comes up is the "system files corrupted" screen. Burnt an autoboot disc, but no success loading it in the Recovery Mode. His system menu was 4.1, so using a disc w/ 4.2 and recovery mode, I was able to update it. No change. Whatever he messed up wasn't overwritten by that update. I have a few questions...
Will a D3-2 drive read a burnt disc in recovery mode? Since I jumped the gun and ran the 4.2 update, would installing an older drive to run the autoboot recovery discs even work at this point? Do I have much of a chance updating to 4.3 and fixing it? Outside of Metroid and Black Ops, what discs offer 4.3? Does Mario All-Stars have 4.3 by any chance? (Don't have to rent it to try ) Other than finding a way to restore his nand via infectus, what other recovery options are there?
wait...i thought that you were able to get into recovery mode!!! how did you do the update????
and then you said this:
Will a D3-2 drive read a burnt disc in recovery mode?
Maybe my terminology is off... I used the game cube controller in the P4 port to access the black screen w/ the system menu version in the corner (4.1 at the time, this is what I was referring to as recovery mode) and inserted a disc w/ 4.2 on it (a retail version of uDraw). I could hear the drive spin up so I just left it for a half hour or so. The Wii must have rebooted at some point, because when I came back the "System Files are Corrupted" message was on screen. I used the GC controller to access that 'recovery mode' screen again, and this time the version was reported as 4.2. Prior to doing the update w/ uDraw, I attempted to boot a burnt copy of Autobooting WadManager. The guide I found originally (none WiiHacks guide, shame on me) made no mention of needing a DriveKey to make it work, whereas anything I read here, says I do need a DriveKey to use the Autoboot Discs.
Weird,..... just weird.... so it sounds like the update failed as well.... unless you wiikey it.... you would have to get it reprogrammed via a nand programmer if you are boot2 or u have nand.bin and keys (I forget if you are / have)
Android Wiihacks Mobile App
Do you think updating to 4.3 using this method would help at all? Trying to do this for my neighbour so he doesn't have to spend money Have the nand.bin and keys, but pretty certain boot2 isn't an option as its an LU72... Thanks for the info btw.
If you have keys.bin and nand.bin then you don't need to be boot2 compatible...... it will not hurt to try a 4.3 update..... but just know that he will need one of the three games to remod the 4.3 if it takes.....
Android Wiihacks Mobile App
If updating to system menu 4.2 didn't work then updating to 4.3 won't work either. While I realize you said this happened while uninstalling Priiloader, a bad install/uninstall of Priiloader would result in a full brick which you don't have. That being said, it sounds more like a banner brick which cannot be fixed by updating the system menu.
At this point it looks like you have three possible fixes (two of them require either a modchip preset to autoboot or to have cioscorp previously installed):
1) Speed Demon Data management (requires modchip or cioscorp)
2) Fixing a banner brick with Wii Fit (requires modchip or cioscorp)
3) NAND Programming (must have bootmii backup)
You can find the guide for the first two options here Recovery menu Brick Fixing with SaveMiiFrii &autoboot disks Speed Demon Data Management is post #5 and Wii Fit fix is post #6 in the thread.

Since I updated from 4.1 to 4.2, does that mean I no longer have the Trucha Bug?

Probably not as in it doesn't mean that or probably not as in its gone? :P
I didn't do the mod myself, so I'm not sure which guide was used. Unfortunately, the original modder and the owner are both easily confused by technology and shouldn't be doing anything more than playing games on the system.

Previous disasters prepped SMG for hurricane duty
SMG relied on past natural disasters in Florida and Iowa to prepare for Hurricane Katrina's impact on four of its Gulf Coast sports facilities damaged by the worst storm in U.S. history, said Glenn Mon, the facility management firm's senior vice president of stadiums and arenas.
Mon is scheduled to discuss the Katrina effect Thursday at the International Association of Assembly Managers' International Stadium Management Conference in Tampa. The title of his address: "Preparing for a Rainy Day: Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma."
Hurricane Ivan damaged Pensacola (Fla.) Civic Center in 2004 and floodwaters filled Iowa State University's Hilton Coliseum in Ames in 1993, eight years before SMG managed the arena. Those incidents led SMG to implement emergency procedures that include forming assistance teams from other SMG-run facilities to aid the venues in need last fall, Mon said.
Premium seats are selling well at Central
Florida's planned football stadium.
"It's ironic in the case of Katrina that those teams were going to come from the New Orleans area, because in tracking the storm, we thought that Pensacola was going to get hit the hardest," he said.
New Orleans instead became ground zero for Katrina, and seven SMG-operated arenas in Louisiana and Texas provided shelter for hurricane evacuees.
SMG also formed national relationships with general contractors to act quickly to clean up arenas damaged by the most recent hurricanes. "The day after Katrina hit, we had a crew in Mobile [Ala.] taking water out of the [Civic Center]," Mon said.
Katrina provided its own lessons, the greatest of which was to establish reliable sources of communication after regular telephones were rendered useless and cell phone reception was "sporadic at best" in the hurricane's wake, Mon said.
SMG bought satellite telephones that were shipped to personnel on the Gulf Coast after Rita knocked Ford Center out of commission in Beaumont, Texas, an arena that had given shelter to residents displaced by Katrina, he said. Satellite phone batteries are recharged using solar panels set up in the sun that roll up like a towel, Mon said.
GREAT OUTDOORS: HOK Sport and University of Washington officials in Seattle as of last week were still working on the final design and cost for improving 85-year-old Husky Stadium. They do know, however, that indoor club seats won't be part of the premium seat mix planned for the facility's south side.
"We tested the concept and it was well received in phone surveys, but our [most influential] donors and boosters were against it," said Steve Tatge, the school's project manager.
"In the Northwest, people are used to sitting outside," he said. "There would not be a demand for it. HOK told us the concept sounds great, but after a year, most people want out of their contracts."
The university could increase the number of outdoor loge boxes proposed for the renovation, where the seats are more high-end office-style as opposed to molded plastic chairbacks, Tatge said.
"We visited Oregon State [and renovated Reser Stadium], and their loge seats are sold out and they have a waiting list," he said.
TWO-TIMING: Tim Leonard is in the unique position of being responsible for selling premium-seat packages for two new on-campus facilities at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. The $107 million basketball arena, designed by HOK Sport, and the $51 million football stadium, planned by 360 Architecture, are both scheduled to open in 2007.
Leonard, the school's assistant vice president for athletics, development and annual giving, solicited existing donors in the last five months and had no problem selling the 45,000-seat football stadium's 21 suites and 800 club seats available for lease. The three larger suites include 30 tickets and sold for $200,000 each for five-year contracts. Eighteen suites, each containing 20 tickets, sold for $150,000 for five-year deals.
UCF sold club seats in pairs for $12,500 for a five-year contract.
Most of the $1.66 million in revenue generated annually from premium-seat sales will go toward paying construction debt, Leonard said. A portion of that money, $5,000 for every suite and $500 for each club seat, will be funneled into the university's athletic scholarship fund, he said.
Leonard hasn't set the pricing for the arena's 16 suites, 500 club seats and 64 loge seats, and thinks there is a separate market to tap into, corporations intent on entertaining clients on a continuous basis. UCF hired Global Spectrum, known for its aggressive approach to booking events, to privately operate the 10,000-seat arena. The arena is tied into campus development that includes four new dormitories containing 2,000 beds.

Who will head Orange Bowl rehab?
The city of Miami recently issued a formal request to developers, architects and designers interested in being program manager for the long-awaited Orange Bowl Stadium renovation, a project that local officials have been planning for more than three years.
There's a catch, however.
The city of Miami has asked companies to bid
to become program manager for renovations to
Orange Bowl Stadium, but Hammes Co. says it
already has that contract with the city.
Hammes Co., best known for teaming with architect Ellerbe Becket to add premium seating at Lambeau Field and build a five-story atrium containing banquet space, a year-round restaurant and the Packer Hall of Fame in Green Bay, says it already has a contract to serve as program manager for Orange Bowl Stadium improvements. Hammes has consulted on stadium upgrades for the city and the University of Miami, the facility's football tenant, dating to 2002, said Bob Dunn, the company's president.
"I'm sitting here looking at a document with my signature and Joe's signature on it," Dunn said,referring to Miami City Manager Joe Arriola.
Hammes provided a partial copy of the project management agreement to SportsBusiness Journal. The contract, dated May 9, 2005, is between the city of Miami and Hammes Sports Development of Florida LLC, and also contains signatures from Miami City Attorney Jorge Fernandez and Donna Carrillo, the city's risk management administrator.
Arriola said the city's legal department has reservations about how Hammes planned to financially guarantee the project and its plan to form a new company for the endeavor.
Said Dunn: "The contracting entity we have is similar to what we use coast to coast. No one with the city raised a question until after the contract was signed."
The city waived the competitive bid process and approved hiring Hammes for a fee not to exceed $6 million, according to the March 10, 2005, meeting agenda posted on the Miami City Commission Web site.
The resolution states that the commission confirmed the "city manager's finding of an emergency" in forgoing the formal bid procedures.
"I was able to use them as a sole source because they already had experience with the stadium," Arriola said.
In August, city auditors released an investigative report that criticized the city's failure to bid capital improvement projects.
"I know the city was taking a lot of heat for its contracting practices," Dunn said.
Arriola could not be reached for a reply on whether the audit forced the city to restart the process of hiring a program manager for the stadium project.
Hammes doesn't plan to respond to the current request for a program manager.
"We have a signed contract and, until that is resolved, we're not in position to do anything different," Dunn said. "We feel confident either way. It'll solve itself. We're happy to go forward, and if they terminate the agreement we'll go in a different direction. Either way, we're owed a sizable amount of money."
Hammes isn't owed any money because the firm "never actually worked for the city," Arriola said. "The university hired Hammes to work with us about rebuilding the Orange Bowl."
Dunn reiterated that his company has been consulting for the city for the last two to three years and said it has "paid bills on behalf of the city of Miami" during that period.Companies interested in overseeing the project, now estimated to cost $140 million, are required to fill out a questionnaire, and city officials plan to select three firms to compete for the position, according to the request. The questionnaires are due today.
The city wants to select a program manager within 30 days and then consider architects to design Orange Bowl Stadium upgrades, which will include building 32 suites and 4,000 club seats, Arriola said. The city wants to start construction in December, he said.

Anabolic steroids are synthetic substances that relate to the male hormone testosterone. It helps in the development of skeletal muscles and acquiring male sexual characteristics both for males and females. Anabolic steroids or anabolic-androgenic steroids were first made in the early 1930s to treat a condition termed as hypogonadism in which the male testes do not produce enough hormone for proper growth and development and for sexual functioning.
Like a lot of substances that help in the body's growth and development, anabolic steroids are frequently abused by people who want to improve athletic performance, increase muscle size and reduce body fat. It has been significantly noted that most athletes tend to use anabolic steroids to enhance their performance which makes for worldwide abuse of the substance. This is why screening and testing measures are strictly implemented especially at Olympic games to level off the field during competitions.
There are a lot of consequences related to anabolic steroids abuse. For one, using it disrupts the normal production of hormones by the body which can result to long-term irreversible changes especially on men. Another effect is the increase in cardiovascular diseases, the most common being heart attacks and strokes that happen to athletes as young as under the age of 30. This is because steroids can cause blood clots in blood vessels which prevent blood from reaching the heart muscles which can result to fatal conditions.
So what can be done to prevent the abuse of anabolic steroids? Research has shown that it isn't enough to educate students about the adverse effects of anabolic steroids. Implementing strict guidelines on the use of steroids also doesn't do much good especially for the adolescents in sports. Presenting both sides — the risks and advantages — of steroids use has been noted to be more efficient in controlling the youth from using the synthetic substance as they find it more convincing presenting a balance of information regarding the matter.

yep, you can. the only glitch I've found with Mybackup is that sometimes it will fail to restore all my app data, but instead it will take me thru the process of reinstalling all my apps one-by-one from my sdcard, minus the app data.... I haven't figured out why this happens sometimes, and I always choose to back up apks+data. but other than that, Mybackup is a good option, and always seems to work well for other data.
my favorite is doing a nandroid backup, and then doing an advanced data restore thru CWM once I have flashed my new ROM. in a couple threads in general we seem to have found that this works best with Modaco CWM 126.96.36.199.

First, a little backgrounder. The 150cc-180cc motorcycle segment contributes about 10% to the Indian two-wheeler industry and, more often than not, has been ruled by Bajaj. Honda is present in this segment in the form of the CB Unicorn (for mature commuters) and the CBR 150R (for riders who desire an exciting motorcycling experience). But Honda needed something that could appeal to riders aged between 18-24 years, and that, while fun to ride, was also suitable for daily commuting. Thats where the CB Trigger fits in.
The CB Trigger comes with a contoured tank having a 3D Honda emblem, floating side cowls and arrow-shaped side panels that contribute to its aggressive looks. It has got an all-black sporty muffler that emphasises the muscular character of the bike. Then you have all-black alloy wheels and a digital instrument panel. The front headlight comes with air scoops on the visor and there is an LED rear tail light. Overall, although the CB Trigger looks good, what we would have wanted is a bike that really stands out in the crowd.
The CB Trigger comes with a segment first featurethe Combi Brake System, an easy to operate feature that, Honda claims, reduces braking distance by 32% compared to conventional braking. Then the mono-suspension ensures mass centralisation that leads to better stability and riding confidence. It is powered by a 150cc engine that not only runs well in the low- to mid-speed ranges but also performs nicely in high-speed range. The engine produces a maximum power of 14 bhp and a torque of 12.5 Nm. The company claims a mileage of 60 kmpl (based on internal Honda test ride mode that is close to actual city riding conditions).
The seating position of the bike is upright and the seat is wide enough to give you a comfortable riding angle. While short city commutes are a breeze, like all other 150cc bikes, long-distance riding can go uncomfortable even on this Honda after a time. But if you primarily use motorcycle for urban riding, the CB Trigger wont give you many complains. And the seat, though wide, isnt really long enough to effortlessly seat, say, two fat people. Mention must be made here of the lightweight and flexible diamond frame that offers easy handling and steady control. But perhaps the best thing about the bike is controlthe 240 mm front and 220 mm rear dual disc brakes that enhance braking efficiency and rider safety really inspire confidence. Then you have wide tubeless tyres, maintenance free battery and viscous air filter.
A starting price of Rs 67,433 (ex-showroom, Delhi) means the CB Trigger is priced competitively. Although it is not a superlative machine, it is fun to ride, fuel-efficient, and suitable for daily commuting. And three attractive colour optionsMeteor Green Metallic, Pearl Siena Red and Blackmean Honda might just have added another winner to its kitty.

Ashley Vickers wasn't about to let a loonie in a lime-green thong spoil his soccer game.
So the Dorchester Town player-manager did what he felt was the right thing when a fan wearing a Borat-style "mankini" ran on to the pitch during the second half of a tied game against Havant & Waterlooville Monday.
Vickers jolted the curly wigged doofus with a neck-high tackle after he ran rings around chasing stewards, bringing a painful end to the spectacle.
His reward? A red card from referee David Spain.
"I'm dumbfounded and speechless," Vickers told The Dorset Echo. "The funny thing was the stewards actually thanked me for it. But the ref decided to send me off and it beggars belief."
The nearly nude streaker, identified by BBC Radio Solent as Havant & Waterlooville fan Alan Young, admitted he ran on to the field on a dare. "It was only a bit of a joke, we all agreed at my local pub on Sunday I'd do it as a bet," Young told BBC Radio. "The security there were too slow but Vickers caught me quite well. He should be a rugby player."
Short-handed Dorchester, which plays in England's sixth tier of soccer, lost 3-1.

Hi! I would very much appreciate any help I can get it! I love the theme but I am having 4 problems that are very frustrating
The frontpage themebuilder refers to the Welcome page, but when I edit the Welcome page (I added some dummy text to test), it doesn't show up on the front page.
By default the menu items had submenu links. I edited the links and now the website is not able to show any sublinks/submenu items.
I checked the pages, and they all had parents and I even changed the order but nothing works…. How do I fix the submenus?
How do I add this slideshow to a page?
How do I add the google maps like here?
Thank you in advance!!
Hi hedgevault,
Let see if we can help. :)
1. Did you change the Frontpage settings under Choices > Theme Options? If not, try that.
2. Check under Appearance > Menus to see if the sublinks are listed under their "parent" items.
3. Go to Pages > Add New, click on the magic wand then Sidebar Tabs and follow on-screen instructions.
4. Go Appearance > Widgets > Choices Google Maps Widget

INDEPENDENT MPs Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor have both warned they would help force an early election if Labor replaced Julia Gillard as Prime Minister.
Mr Windsor said his agreement was with Ms Gillard and was ``not transferable''.
``A change of leaders would be a high-risk strategy that would open up the option of an early election,'' Mr Windsor said.
Mr Oakeshott said he was tired of Labor bickering about leadership and not focusing on policy such as education funding, asylum seekers, food, soil and water, jobs and tax reform.
``I continue to focus on the very full policy agenda before the Australian Parliament right now,'' he said.
``But if the Labor Party is more interested in focusing on the next election, then I will do what I can to oblige them with that next election.''
Their support for Ms Gillard comes amid a new round of chatter about the Labor leadership.
Mr Windsor said ``all bets would be off if there was a change of leader''.
He said the formation of Government occurs on the floor of the Parliament and not in written agreements but signalled he would favour an election if Labor dumped Ms Gillard.
The PM tonight is hosting a dinner at the Lodge for 10-12 top union leaders where it is expected she will assess their support for her.
Union leaders have denied recent reports that they are no longer supporting her.
The Transport Workers Union boss Tony Sheldon has said he would withhold $200,000 in political donations to Labor if Ms Gillard was dumped.
Ms Gillard recently had a dinner at Kirribilli House with business leaders and had a similar dinner with union leaders in November last year.
The dinner is expected to formally discuss issues such as industry policy, manufacturing, the high dollar, jobs and the recent sackings at Ford.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said the TWU donation threat showed faceless men will still trying to run the ALP.
``I think this is part of the Labor Party's problem. It looks to be the play thing of the faceless men,'' he said in New York.
``Now, Tony Sheldon is all very well as a union leader but the general public think that they should be choosing the Prime Minister, not subcontracting the job out to faceless men and when union leaders start making these kinds of threats I think it worries people. They think that the Labor Party is the play thing of unelected union officials not the servant of the Australian people.''

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - If you've watched Stephen Strasburg pitch enough, you're aware of the fact that he can be one of his toughest opponents.
The Nationals right-hander is so competitive and gets so amped up for big starts that he can end up fighting himself on the mound, resulting in stretches where he overthrows and loses his effectiveness.
You can understand, then, why Strasburg was, as he put it, "really geeked up" for this afternoon's spring training opener. Not only was it his first start of spring, but it was his first time taking the mound since Sept. 7 of last year, after which the Nationals shut him down due to a predetermined innings limit.
Strasburg threw 31 pitches in the first inning today, allowing two runs on three hits. He didn't have great command of his fastball, which he leaned on heavily, but settled down eventually, throwing a perfect second inning and getting through a successful 2013 spring debut.
"A bit of a debacle in the first inning, but it seems like that's just what happens for me every spring training," Strasburg said. "It's going to take a little while for me to get a little more comfortable, a little better rhythm out there. I was just glad I was able to get back feeling right in the second (inning)."
Ask Strasburg what exactly didn't feel right in the first inning, and he'll rattle off a brief list of things that affected him.
The right-hander kept catching his right cleat on the rubber when going into his windup. He felt like he was falling forward too quickly, forcing his arm to come through and try and catch up to his body and resulting in pitches that were yanked to the left side of the plate.
And then there's that adrenaline factor, something that plagues Strasburg every year during his first time back in game action.
"I get the adrenaline going, and as much as I try and tell myself to slow down, I just can't." Strasburg said. "... We threw two bullpens and a live BP (so far this spring), and that doesn't even compare to getting out there in a game for the first time, after a much longer offseason for me. The same thing happened last year, and it's just going to be a steady progression getting ready and getting more comfortable commanding my pitches out there throughout spring training."
Things settled down for Strasburg significantly in the second inning. He needed just 11 pitches to retire John Buck, Justin Turner and Jordany Valdespin, appearing calmer and mixing in three curveballs to complement a fastball that topped out at 96 mph on the stadium radar gun.
"I threw a couple good breaking balls there in the second inning," Strasburg said. "My fastball command got better, sinker seemed to be working pretty well. Probably throw it a little more next time. But it was a good first outing."
Of the 31 pitches Strasburg threw in the first inning, 28 were fastballs.
"First time out, especially with the extended spring training, they pretty much just said, 'Just work on your fastball command and you know they're going to be up there hacking, especially first day,' " he said. "They're going to see a lot of fastballs, it's just kind of wearing it and just trying to not really worry about the hits you give up and everything. Just trying to get the command going, first thing."
Strasburg seemed upbeat after his outing, willing to take the positives out of his two innings instead of focusing on the two-run homer he allowed to the light-hitting Ruben Tejada or the eight-pitch battle with Marlon Byrd that resulted in a double to right-center.
He knows the adrenaline will drop a notch or two his next time out, and he's learning that early in spring, the results don't matter much, even if you feel a good part of your start was a debacle.


text: Good wintry morning, Ladies and Gentlemen from Southern Illinois and my newer MES 40. I have brined birds around a dozen times now, whole, pieces and leg quarters. I am curious of the pluses and minuses of the length of time recipes call for. I see lengths as long as 18-24 hours and as short as 3-ish hours. I was wondering what happens to the product the longer or shorter that it is submerged. Does it become too moist and will tend to fall apart or take on too much sodium. Will it become tougher the longer?? Chicken is where I am needing to practice. I am truly interested in the opinions of one and all of you and what you have learned with experimentation. I am smoking 4 hour brined leg quarters right now and am also doing marinated only smoked chicken sticks and a pan of red skin potatoes and corn on the cob with it. As another experiment I am doing a second batch of the bacon wrapped chicken sticks using the same brine technique with Jeff's Rub added. Please and Thank You in advance so much.

RED BANK – New high-end art galleries could be coming to the borough with plans filed for an upscale bar/lounge and art gallery planned for the former Hamilton Jewelers on Broad Street and an art gallery with outdoor murals on the walls and sculpture platform created from a converted warehouse on Clay Street.
The unnamed art gallery proposed for an existing two-story warehouse by 24 Clay Street LLC may have the biggest buzz, with the RiverCenter Visual Improvement Committee endorsing the plans on July 8.
Committee members said they were "overwhelmed by the creative nature of the designs" and felt that "it's compelling that the Planning Board approve it."
Plans call for five interchangeable murals on the south side and front of the building, a large mural on the north side and an illuminated sculpture platform in the rear of the structure. The building redesign was done by architect Michael Savarese Associates of Long Branch and New York. Those plans will be heard by the Planning Board on Monday.
But high-end art also is among the offerings to be served up by the Gotham Lounge, which is proposed for the storefront at 19 Broad St. that was vacated by Hamilton Jewelers earlier this year. Gotham Lounge LLC proposes a "high end bar/lounge with tapas food and occasional entertainment." The Zoning Board of Adjustment will hear that application today.
Attorney F. Bradford Batcha's description elaborated on the plan. He said the bar would specialize in "bourbons, whiskeys and craft beers," live jazz, comedy and a disc jockey on weekends. There would be a small dance floor on the second floor, and bars would be located on the second and third floors.
But the building also would be home to a second venture, Gotham Art LLC, which Batcha described as a high-end gallery featuring the work of artists such as Peter Max, Bill Mack, Bill Pino, Gary Welton and glass artists "Wavy" Dave Wight and Chilhuly. A third-floor apartment would stay, according to the plans.

" Brand: Birds eye / Type: Chicken "
When it comes to cooking it is something that I have very much improved on in the past year, since I moved into my own flat and have to be self sufficient lol. However although I'm a dab hand at rather exotic dishes a roast dinner is something I manage every time to get wrong and I hate the time and expense of it so rarely bother with it.
I spotted this Birds Eye meal in my local Tesco store on offer for £1.29 one Sunday afternoon and decided to treat myself to it as usually it costs more like £2.50 a meal so I was happy to give it a go!
The Packaging:
The meal comes in a black plastic container with see-through plastic over and comes within a box. On the front of the box there is a photograph of the dinner and we are told that it is Birds Eye Traditional Chicken Dinner 'With homestyle gravy, potatoes and garden vegetables' and that it is made with 100% chicken breast and contains no artificial colours or flavours. Other information on the box includes ingredients and allergy advice being given, there is an at a glance nutritional chart stated as well as a full chart given, cooking instructions are provided (40 minutes in the oven from the freezer or you can microwave it in around 9 minutes) and contact details for Birds Eye are given. Nice enough packaging and of course it is informative enough too.
The Meal:
Well I bought this frozen and was impressed when I took the meal out of the box on its appearance. You get sections of food in little compartments and so the chicken breast in gravy and stuffing was in one compartment, the peas and carrots in another and the roast potatoes in another one. The chicken looked like breast and was of good thickness and not a tiny portion at all. It had a little skin on the top of it and wasn't one bit greasy and the skin was easy to remove if you prefer it without it. I oven baked my meal which was easy and straightforward to do and it tasted fresh enough and juicy and rather nice. The gravy is a browny colour with no lumps in it at all and does very much taste of chicken and is thick enough without the need for cutting it and the stuffing was a small ball that had gone a little lightly browned through cooking it and was crunchy and al ittle on the dry side but did taste of sage and onions to be fair to it. The vegetables were plentiful, the peas being a dark green and tasting very succulent and the small baby carrots were moist and not one bit soggy.
The only let down was the roast potatoes which were dry and you only get about 4 little bits of potato per meal. These simply tasted like frozen potatoes, were not seasoned at all and just simply very plain and boring really and not one bit like home made though to be fair to them they were not awful and perfectly edible.
I found this meal rather nice though. Easy to cook, looked nice and fresh and it was a good portion size for my appetite and I think these are great to pop in the freezer for when you can't be bothered to cook! Not bad and would definetely be happy to repurchase this again in the future without a shadow of a doubt.

Building a very big town with very small Lego blocks?
[PS. I don't like writing in metaphores, but I hate to write opinions in technical terms. I'm learning ;) ]
I used to have a dream of building a town with very small blocks, so that everyone can visit it, walk thorugh it, admire it, and use it. And I'm sure I wasn't the only one. So why aren't there lots of big cities built of small blocks?
For a start, it takes time. A lot of time. Even a normal sized building would take ages, so it is almost impossible to build a town. So may be, MAY BE, we need some bigger blocks. If possible, instead of a very small blocks, I want to use buildings as building blocks. The problem is, of course, Lego doesn't make prefab buildings, because they want the maximum of variety. And that means it will take centuries to build a city. In the Open Source World (tm) we can fabricate bigger blocks from smaller blocks. And we should.
Secondly, there aren't enough kind of blocks. With Open Source, we have different kinds of prefab fire stations. One of them has lots of firehoses, another one has a hose and a ladder, and a third one has a car and a ladder. In the real world the third one can just borrow a hose from the first one, but with Open Source this is not done very often. Maybe because borrowing code is barred by rational reasons like "not done", "not invented here", or "I didn't know it was there".
Thirdly, there is no suitable "glue" for buildings in our Open Source World (OSW). In the real world, there are roads. But even that takes a lot of buildings blocks. In the OSW however, we would need something like Open Roads Between Applications (ORBA). Maybe it's just me, but ORBA is very little used between current applications. Most of things I've see are roads between a graphical front-end with an invisible application. Now I want to see more communications between graphical programs (and I don't mean graphical shells only). I really want to see a graphical application that can start and moves freely in a graphical text editor. (and if it is already there, please tell me, I want one for joe).
And lastly, other people want prefab cities. I've never heard of people who say they really wanted to change their city, except architects and construction workers. But that doesn't mean that there cannot be towns that can both be very rigid for its inhabitants and very flexible for builders, especially when everyone can have his/her own in our OSW. Having a town with a good school (a part of the core of a program) does not mean that that school cannot be copied to other cities (as a small core application in another application).
To recap, to build a Open Source World of cities, we need cities, roads, big building blocks, and small building blocks. At this moment (2000), we have some small building blocks (see the sourceforge projects), and a few cities (Linux, Apache for example). We still need some larger building blocks, but larger blocks can and should be build from smaller blocks. So, is it bad that everyone is focusing on the small blocks and the big cities?
[PS 2: I still use Delphi to build programs, because it allows me to use medium sized blocks (components), and small sized blocks (c/pascal/scripts) to build fabricated buildings(small generic applications). In future, I do want to use something like that for Linux (can someone help me with this? I don't know what to look for).]

Andres Iniesta is named playmaker of 2012 by IFFHS (Messi 3rd, Ronaldo 6th & Gerrard 10th)
Andres Iniesta has come top of a semi-important list.
IFFHS, the International Federation of Football History & Statistics, have just released their top 15 playmakers of 2012 list, and Barcelona maestro Iniesta has topped the billing ahead of the the other greats of world football.
Iniesta, who came third in the rankings at the 2012 Ballon d'Or, won the prize (which has been around since 2006), collecting more votes from a group elite and specialised media experts from around the world.
The IFFHS gave the following introduction of their list:
Three players from FC Barcelona again take the first three places in this world vote. All three are no taller than 1.70 metres and have been at "Barça" since the ages of 11 to 13 years. »Xavi« (born 25.1.1980), who was The World's best Playmaker four times in succession between 2008 and 2011, came second in 2012. His team-mate Andrés Iniesta, who was in the "Top 3" in the two previous years, was voted The World's best Playmaker 2012. The 28-year-old Spaniard gave some impressive performances in the jersey of the national team and of "Barça" in 2012.
The Argentinian Lionel Messi, who is able to do it all in the attacking game, came third and is in the "Top 3" for the 5th time since 2007. The 33-year-old playmaker of the "Squadra Azzurra" and of "Juve" Andrea Pirlo drived out the German Mesut Özil from 4th place (2011). So the players of Real was fifth as 2010.
Other classic playmakers such as David Silva, Steven Gerrard, Wesley Sneijder and Bastian Schweinsteiger were often not able to play in 2012 through injuries. Consequently, some of these players were not taken into consideration in the voting. Five other players feature in this annual world ranking for the first time, among them the African Yaya Touré from the Ivory Coast.

In conditions of chronic anxiety, one panic attack can roll into another, leading to nervous exhaustion over a period of hours or even days.
Many medical illnesses can cause symptoms that mimic panic attacks, including heart disease, asthma, cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy, hormone abnormalities, infections and disturbances in levels of certain blood chemicals.

Winnipeg's Cindy Klassen rolled up her right sleeve to reveal a 10-inch scar running from her wrist to elbow, a constant reminder how dangerous speed skating can be.
"It's not pretty (but) I don't mind," she said yesterday.
Although she has been back on skates for more than a year after a crash that resulted in 12 torn tendons, Klassen has yet to fully recover from the surgery.
"I don't have any feeling in these two fingers right now," she said, indicating the ring finger and pinkie of her right hand. "And I don't know if it'll come back. They said after a couple of years, if I don't get the feeling back, it's probably not going to come back."
Not that it will affect her at the 2006 Olympics.
"Not for skating because all I have to do is swing my arms," said Klassen, who will speak at a midget hockey tournament breakfast tomorrow now that she is home for a month-long break from training in Calgary. "But things like playing the piano, and I can't really type on the keyboard because I don't really know what (those fingers are) doing. One thing that (the doctors) kind of warned me about was that, say, if you're cooking and you put (the hand) down on a hot element, you might not feel that."
Klassen, 25, rebounded from the injury by winning both a silver and bronze medal at the 2004 World Single Distances Championships, then won two gold and a silver medal at the 2005 world championships in Germany last month.
Yet, the incident still preys upon her mind.
"Yeah, I thought about it a lot," Klassen admitted. "I just didn't want to crash again. I don't normally crash that often. It was just kind of a fluke thing that happened. So now, when I'm on the inside corner, it gets me a little bit scared just because I'm going at such a high speed and I'm worried about what happens if one of my skates slips out from under me. But it's more during practice when there's a lot of people around that I'm worried that I'll crash into someone else. During a race, it's a little better because there's only one person out there with you."
She's had help to overcome her fears.
"We do a lot of things to help me get over it," said Klassen, who is preparing for her second Olympics. "There's this thing called turn-cable where you have someone holding you up and you're just feeling your hip in and that helps a lot when you're actually doing the corners."
Obviously, that worked at the recent worlds.
"Yeah, it was OK," she said. "That certainly gives me lots of confidence going into next season."

Still rounding himself back into form after a long layoff, Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro showed some signs of rust in his second round match at the Delray Beach Open on Thursday, but hung on to defeat Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia-Herzegovina 7-6(5), 4-6, 6-3 and reach the quarterfinals.
"It was a really tough match for me. He was really fast from the baseline and I couldn't find the place to make winners with my forehand," said del Potro. "I got my chances at the end of the match and I took it. I think I played my best game in the third set."
Del Potro is playing in just his second match of the year and it showed a bit early on. He hit five double faults in the opening set but was still able to pull out the opener in a tiebreaker.
He recorded the first break of the second set to take the commanding 3-1 lead, but Dzumhur won five of the next six games to steal the second set and force a deciding third.
The Argentine started coming to the net a bit more in the third set and was able to snag the key break for 4-2 in the decider with a backhand smash winner. Three games later, del Potro served out the match and pushed through into the final eight.
"He was trying to put the ball all the time to my backhand and coming to the net when I sliced. He was smart," del Potro added. "But in the end I was more offensive from the baseline and came to the net in the important moments and that was the difference."
The win sets up a quarterfinal showdown with American Sam Querrey, who ousted del Potro in the semifinals of this tournament a year ago.
Querrey knocked off fellow American Jared Donaldson 6-2, 6-3 in his match on Thursday.
American Donald Young came back from a set down to upend young American Taylor Fritz 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to push through into the quarterfinals.
Soon after, Young moved into the semifinals after his next opponent, Steve Darcis of Germany, withdrew from the upcoming match.
In doubles, Long Island's Scott Lipsky and Israel's Jonathan Erlich came back from a set down to beat American Brian Baker and Nikola Mektic of Croatia 2-6, 7-6(5), 11-9 to reach the semifinals.
After dropping the first set, Lipsky and Erlich swung the momentum of the match with a break of serve to take a 4-2 lead. Despite getting broken themselves later in the set, Lipsky and Erlich were able to win the second set tiebreaker, and then edge out the super tiebreaker in the third set to advance.
"We tried to just keep playing and stayed focus on our serve in the beginning of the second set," said Lipsky. "We knew if we could serve that chances would open up on theirs and it did. We were able to hang in there and put some pressure on them."
Lipsky and Erlich move on to play the second-seeded duo of Rajeev Ram and Raven Klaasen in the semifinals.

Byström, Xanthoudakis, Lemieux; Finley, Osborn, Rose, Cigni, Caton; Chorus and Orchestra of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Pappano. Text and translation. EMI 50999 0 28826 2 (3)
The place of Guillaume Tell in opera history is secure, even if its place in the everyday repertory is not. Antonio Pappano's live recording is taken from concert performances given in Rome in 2010. He also conducted it at the Proms in London last July, again in a concert version. Given Pappano's admirable advocacy for keeping Tell in front of the public, it is puzzling that his conducting of it is so patchy.
For every number that he does well, such as the cheerful yodeling quality he brings to the ballet music after the "Toi que l'oiseau" chorus in Act III, or the way he shapes the tripartite men's trio "Quand l'Helvétie est un champ de supplices," or the beautiful grazioso mood at curtain-rise, there is another number that proves disappointing. The final section of the great love duet in Act II is taken so fast that the singers don't even attempt to do the ornamental turns. Unwritten accelerandos abound, even though Rossini knew how to write one when he wanted one. Rossini scholar Philip Gossett called the Act I ensemble "Vierge que les chrétiens adorent" one of Rossini's finest; it does not seem so in Pappano's under-characterized, flabby performance.
Most dispiriting of all is the way the opera's finale is undermined. Pappano leads it in an ambling, undirected way, missing all the majesty. Rossini's finale is not one of his bombastic moments. Rather, for this epic historical opera, it is noble, spiritual and patriotic. Pappano conducts it for all the world as if there were a union orchestra on the clock and no way to pay for overtime.
The finale is also ineffective because Act IV has been grievously truncated. Both the women's trio "Je rends à votre amour," an entrancing wind-accompanied piece, and the prayer "Toi, qui du faible es l'espérance," a duet with women's chorus, are missing. There's a tiny bit of justification for omitting the former, since Rossini regretfully sanctioned this for reasons of time, but it is a stunning piece. (Audiences don't often call for encores of ensemble numbers, as opposed to arias, but the audience at a concert Tell at Caramoor last July wanted to hear this one again.)
These two deletions make it difficult to evaluate the performances of the female singers here. Marie-Nicole Lemieux was choice casting for Tell's wife, Hedwige, and would likely have excelled in the tricky writing of the trio, but there is nothing left of her role. Malin Byström, the Mathilde, begins her role with dark, troubled colorings and a general lack of focus in pitching and phrasing, but when she fines down her voice for some difficult runs in Act III she gets some pinpoint accuracy. She might have given a well-rounded portrayal if she had been allowed to sing her two numbers in Act IV.
The other singers have mastered some severe demands in their roles. Matthew Rose's Walter is a stern, reliable anchor for the men's trio. Carlo Cigni, as the villain Gesler, is at first small and unresonant of voice, but later he admirably leads off the big Act III finale, building in rage after Tell performs his famous feat. John Osborn does more than merely survive the killer tenor role of Arnold. He offers a fuller, pleasanter tone than we often get in the Rossini repertoire, and his beautiful, hushed opening of "Ses jours qu'ils ont" is a highlight. Rossini would have been pleased that he blooms, rather than bellows, on the high C of "Asile héréditaire."
Lamberto Gardelli's 1972 audio recording remains the only uncut Tell in French in any format. If there is a reason to spend an evening with Pappano's instead, it is the performance of Gerald Finley in the title role. This is not to slight Gabriel Bacquier's Tell for Gardelli, a portrayal that combines warmth, gravity and elegance in a way that will surprise listeners who only know Bacquier's work in comic roles. But Finley's Tell, noble and intensely personal, is perhaps even more attuned to the specific opera at hand. Finley doesn't save his energy for the showiest solo moments. He is consistently giving a detailed performance even in places such as the busy Act III ensemble. In Act II, he is utterly engaged by the drama. In a perfect world, the Met would book three months of Mr. Finley's time and build two new productions, to showcase his Tell and his aching, multidimensional Golaud in Pelléas et Mélisande. And Tell cries out to be staged. It would be stunning just as written, but the libretto, the work of four authors, would stand up to multiple interpretations. It tells us that the way to oppress a nation is to take away the culture — the dances, the festivals, the wedding rites. Tell's achievements as an archer and an oarsman are celebrated as artistic pursuits. These ideas are so old that they're new again.

Diplo on Mad Decent: "A lot of festivals don't even understand us"
By now, we know to expect curveballs from Diplo. The contender for busiest man in dance music has a lot to get done before he takes the long haul to Australia for Stereosonic, where he'll be switching it up between the Major Lazer live show and his own DJ sets. On the immediate horizon is the new Major Lazer album and Reincarnated, the LP that's set to transform Snoop Dogg to Snoop Lion (at least in the rapper's own mind). Then – after Usher, Azealia Banks, No Doubt and all the rest of Diplo's cohorts are taken care of – he's looking ahead to his first solo album since 2004. Psychedelic first single About That Life certainly keeps you guessing about how the full-length will play out.
At the centre of the Diplo whirlwind is his Mad Decent label, which remains a stauch flagship for what the boss calls "new sounds". So, what's Diplo's secret formula? As he tells The Huffington Post in a revealing interview, he's playing his own game.
"At Mad Decent, we see what has always driven this culture and this movement has been the side stages, the underground, the kids taking chances and doing something different," he says in the interview. "Electronic music was a rebellion against the same old rock songs and messages and fashion. But that's already what I see with the Top 10 DJs doing the same shit over and over, and festivals perpetuating it. It's not for me, it never has been. I've always tried to nurture new sounds and help shed lights on what's exciting and what's moving music forward."
That commitment to the vanguard can be confusing for "corporate suits" in dance music's current cashed-up climate, he tells The Huffington Post. "There's not such corporate control of what we do at Mad Decent. A lot of festivals don't even understand us – we are eclectic and we do a bit of everything, from rap to dance music to indie to whatever. For the corporate suits, they just see 'DANCE MUSIC, DRINKS, FESTIVALS, LOTS OF KIDS TO BUY STUFF,' so these festivals sell right away. They even perpetuate the 'sameness' of the line-ups and the music that is being played. It keeps it very tidy for the investors that don't understand."

Men Who Own Porsches Just Trying to Get Laid
Women Know That Flashy Men Only Want Flings
In a study epically titled Peacocks, Porsches and Thorstein Veblen: Conspicuous Consumption as a Sexual Signaling System, researchers from Rice University, the University of Texas-San Antonio, and the University of Minnesota found that men spend conspicuously when they're trying to have a no-strings-attached fling. The lead author says the findings "suggests that conspicuous products, such as Porsches, can serve the same function for some men that large and brilliant feathers serve for peacocks," who show off their colorful feathers in front of potential mates they're trying to impress.
But unlike peacocks, only some male humans use this strategy: those looking for short-term relationships. And women are onto their motives. In the study, women chose the men who own luxury items like a Porsche as more desirable dates, but they did not select them as the most desirable marriage partners.
It seems that expensive, showy purchases act as a useful communication tool for the sexes. It tells women that a man is just trying to get laid, and women who are looking for the same thing can take him up on it.

I just want to take a moment and thank you for all kind words i received thanks to DailyDeviation.
Every wave of positiveness is very precious for me.
Thank you.
Positive communication is so powerful. Please keep on being nice and never hesitate to compliment anybody on their work.
It is so important in this age of facebook where it is becoming rare to write comments. "I like your work" "you look good" "this must have been nice experience" means much more than hitting like button.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- The semifinal dance card is set for the 29th Beach Ball Classic.
Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas), featuring a up-tempo offense, plays methodical Scott County (Georgetown, Ky.) at 8:45 p.m. ET and Columbia (Decatur, Ga.) tangles with Cedar Hill (Texas) at 7 in the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.
Sixteen teams opened the tournament Saturday, four remain.
That suits Scott County coach Billy Hick just fine. The Cardinals advanced to their first championship semifinals here, beating national powerhouse Wheeler (Marietta, Ga.), 64-62, Tuesday in the quarterfinals.
"This is the best high school basketball tournament in the country," Hicks said. "The quality of teams is great; winning a tournament like this is a big deal."
Ge-Lawn Guyn, a 6-foot-2 guard, scored a team-high 17 points but his defensive stop of pesky Wheeler point guard Phil Taylor with five seconds remaining preserved the victory.
Chad Jackson made a pair of free throws with 13.7 seconds left, snapping a 62-all tie. Taylor, who signed with Florida International, rubbed off a screen near the elbow, drove to the baseline where he was met by Guyn.
"I watched [Taylor] in warm-ups and he was shooter these floaters; I just raised my arms to block his vision. It must have worked because he threw up an air ball," Guyn said.
Taylor netted 27 points, canning 10 of 23 shots, and Memphis-bound forward Jelan Kendrick added 16. The duo combined for all but 10 of Wheeler's field goal attempts. Tanner Shotwell had 16 points for Scott County (7-2).
Gorman broke away from an 11-11 tie early in the opening half, blitzing Nichols School (Buffalo, N.Y.), 84-44. The Gaels jumped to a 48-17 lead at the break and emptied the bench throughout the second half.
Taylor Spencer and Johnathan Loyd each had 20 points and Ryan Parks came off the bench contributing 18 points, including four 3-pointers. Connor Vandergriff, a 6-5 senior, had 15 points and Virginia-bound forward Will Regan had nine points and six rebounds.
In the third quarterfinal, Cedar Hill defeated Hamilton (Milwaukee), 64-51. The Texans jumped to a 27-24 halftime lead and were never threatened. Junior guard Billy Johnson provided an offensive spark, scoring 27 points, making 11 of 14 shots. Tanner Milson, a 6-1 shooter who signed with UNC-Wilmington, scored 11 points, dropping in a trio of 3-pointers. The Longhorns reached the quarters by edging previously-undefeated Mount St. Joseph (Baltimore), 56-53, Monday.
Hamilton (4-1), which entered the week as Wisconsin's top-ranked Division I team, received 13 points from Darnell Harris and Chuck Lee and Jalonie Parks added 12.
In the consolation bracket, Daniel (Central, S.C.) beat Bishop O'Connell (Arlington, Va.), 77-61. Shaq Lawson, a 6-4 sophomore, led Daniel with 23 points and five rebounds. Junior Jordan Burgess scored 16 points and North Carolina-bound Kendall Marshall (No. 19 in ESPNU 100) added 11 for O'Connell.
Here's a closer look at semifinals.
Scott County vs. Bishop Gorman: The game features contrasting styles. Scott County plays each possession carefully while Gorman pushes the ball. The Cardinals play five players in motion, sans low post. Expect the Cardinals to use clock, running screens and dribble-drive penetration with Guyn feeding shooters Chad Jackson and Shotwell, a 6-4 junior. "Making the semifinals is a big deal but we're not satisfied. We want to win," Guyn said. At 6-8, Dakotah Euton (No. 57-ranked power forward) is Scott's lone inside presence. He'll play at Akron next year.
Gorman (8-1), whose only loss was to powerhouse Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.), is without injured, super sophomore Shabazz Muhammad. Loyd, 6-3 guard Anson Winder, a Brigham Young recruit, and 6-2 Taylor Spencer have picked up the scoring slack in Muhammad's absence. The Gaels are averaging 81.5 points at the BBC while making 55 percent of their shots. The pressure defense has recorded 26 steals and forced 39 turnovers.
Columbia vs. Cedar Hill: Early this week, press row thought a Gorman-Hamilton final was likely. Word never reached Cedar Hill's camp. The Longhorns (14-2), a Class 4A power from the Dallas Metroplex, like the 3. Against Hamilton Milson and Johnson combined for all eight made shots from beyond the arc. Cedar Hill's long-range shooting should be challenged by Columbia, which employs a shifty 2-3 match-up zone. "We spend nearly 70 percent of each practice on defense," Columbia assistant Julian Houston said. "We play with four defenders against five. Players have to move quickly to defend and make good decisions."
Chris Grier and Northwestern-bound guard Jershon Cobb played prominent roles in Monday's quarterfinal win over Concord (N.C.).
Great of Scott County
After Scott County (Georgetown, Ky.) advanced to the semifinals of the Beach Ball Classic, senior Ge-Lawn Guyn, a 6-foot-2 guard told ESPN what's going on with his recruiting process.
"I have several offers but I'm still undecided," he said.
Heading into the New Year, Guyn has interest from Florida, Wisconsin, Xavier, Hawaii, Alabama and Nebraska. He has written offers from Ball State, Western Kentucky, Coastal Carolina and South Florida.
Guyn has no timetable for a decision.
The Butler did it
Trevor Lacey, No. 57 in the ESPNU Super 60, sank a layup with three second remaining lifting Butler (Huntsville, Ala.) over nationally-ranked Winter Park (Fla.), 60-58, Tuesday in the fourth annual T-Mobile Invitational semifinals in Birmingham, Ala.
Lacey topped all scorers with 19 points and now face Yates (Houston), which won the Iolani Classic last week, in the championship on Wednesday.
"We had great execution on that final play," Butler coach Jack Doss said. "Pressure makes or breaks you and he made the pressure shot."
Coincidentally Butler (10-4) and Winter Park both competed at the City of Palms Classic. Winter Park placed second at the event, falling to Paterson Catholic in the final.
Said Lacey: "Coach put that play in last week; we had never run it before. It wasn't a state championship, but this was definitely one of the biggest wins I've ever had."
Florida-bound Austin Rivers, the nation's No. 2-rated junior, managed only nine points in the loss. Last week Rivers was named the Most Valuable Player at City of Palms in Fort Myers, Fla. for the second straight year. Butler used a box-and-one defense, limiting the high-scoring Rivers to only seven shots.
Winter Park (9-4) meets Kentwood (Covington, Wash.) in the consolation.
Must-see event
The New Year will be less than a day old when big-time basketball visits Wheeling, W.Va., on Friday and Saturday at the Cancer Research Classic.
The two-day event features several ranked players and teams. There's a doubleheader on Friday and five games on Saturday at Wheeling Jesuit University's Alma Grace McDonough Center.
Friday's lineup is Paterson (N.J.) Catholic-Huntington (W.Va.) Prep at 7 p.m. ET, followed by Wheeling Park-Wheeling Central Catholic at 8:15 in the George Kellas City Championship.
The CRC marks the first action for Paterson Catholic (4-0) which won the prestigious City of Palms Classic before Christmas in Fort Myers, Fla. The game also is the season debut for T.J. Clemmings, a 6-foot-6, 255-pound power forward, who will sign with Pittsburgh to play football.
"He's a monster on the boards and in the middle," said Paterson Catholic coach Damon Wright of Clemmings, ESPN.com's No. 55-rated defensive end prospect. "We gave him some time off after football; he'll ready (for Friday)."
Clemmings return adds more depth to a rotation that features 6-6 Fuquan Edwin (a Seton Hall signee); 6-7 sophomore Kyle Anderson (No. 23 in the ESPNU Terrific 25); 5-10 junior Myles Mack; 6-6 Jermaine Peart; 6-8 promising freshman Derrick Randall; and 6-6 Jayon James, who has several offers from Ivy and Patriot league schools but may opt for prep school next year to improve his stock.
Paterson Catholic, which made a commitment this year to lockdown defense, will need it to stop 6-5 Justin Coleman (No. 32 in ESPNU 100). Coleman is considering Xavier, Marquette, Indiana, Arkansas and Louisville.
Saturday's schedule includes: Neumann-Goretti (Philadelphia)-Christ the King (Middle Village, N.Y.), 12:30 p.m.; St. Joseph's Prep (Philadelphia)-St. Ignatius (Cleveland), 2:05; Sewickley (Pa.) Academy-Wheeling Central Catholic 3:40; Rice (Manhattan, N.Y.)- Gonzaga (Washington, D.C.), 5:15; and St. Frances Academy (Baltimore)-St. Benedict's (Newark, N.J.), 6:50.
