LOS ANGELES — The last time Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Lyoto Machida weighed in at the Staples Center, it was before they fought each other for the light heavyweight championship at UFC 104.
A lot has changed in the 34 months since that meeting, which resulted in a controversial unanimous-decision win for Machida and, ultimately, a rematch in which Shogun proved victorious. But so much also seemed the same when the two tipped the scales Friday afternoon downtown in the city of angels.
Machida (201) and Rua (205) are once again competing against each other, albeit indirectly, tomorrow in the headlining matches of UFC on FOX 4. The two former champions are heavily favored in their respective fights, and whoever wins more impressively will earn another shot for the light heavyweight belt.
"I am getting back on the road to the title," Machida said earlier this week. "I know what I have to do, and I am ready for this opportunity."
Machida will have to outdo the winner of the main event between Rua and Brandon Vera (203.8) to earn the championship bout. One of the four fighters will eventually get a matchup with the winner of the UFC 151 main event between Jon Jones and Dan Henderson, scheduled for Sept 1 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
Henderson, who was on hand for a fan Q&A before the weigh-in, feels insulted by all the talk surrounding UFC on Fox 4.
"According to everyone else, it's supposed to be Jon Jones' next fight," said Henderson, who could foil those plans with an upset. "But I'd say the guy with the more experience is probably who I'd be leaning towards with Shogun and Machida."
Aside from Henderson's perceived slight, Machida and Rua are known as respectful competitors. Their stare-down poses with their opponents, not surprisingly, were uneventful as everyone kept their distance and shook hands.
It went the same way for the other eight fights on the card. There was no suspense, as none of the 20 fighters came close to missing weight.
The thing that drew the most attention, in fact, may have been UFC President Dana White's T-shirt. White wore a shirt that had a picture of Ronda Rousey's ESPN The Magazine Body Issue cover.
The crowd gave arguably its warmest response of the afternoon when Rousey, Strikeforce women's bantamweight champion, accompanied training partner Manvel Gamburyan to the scale. Gamburyan (145.5) meets fellow veteran Michihiro Omigawa (145.5) in the second bout of the evening, which airs as part of the preliminary card on FUEL TV starting at 2. The main card on Fox starts at 5.

Acme Design Company always makes me think of the Coyote and the Road Runner and all the boxes that the Coyote would receive that usually either blew him up, pounded him flat or blasted him into oblivion. Like those cartoons Acme is a very fun line of pens.
Please click on this link to read more about the story of Acme Studio.
Acme produces of wide range of writing instruments with wonderful designs. They are available from a wide range of vendors including Goldspot Pens, Swisher Pens and Pencity.
These pens are generally only available for purchase as a rollerball, which is how my pen started it's life, but the nib section and converter is available so that you may transform your favorite design into a fountain pen.
Of course, for me that design had to be Dogs by Nancy Wolff, but the pens range in design from Alphabet by Ron Dyer to Zorble Five by Marty Kenney, there simply is a pen for everyone here.
The fountain pen nib for this pen is only available as a medium, which many may not find acceptable but I'm ok with.
Click on writing sample to enlarge: (paper is Bloc Rhodia No 16)
Okay, so when I signed up for this thing, they absolutely insisted that I give it a name. I threw my hands in the air and typed "whatever" and that is what it's called.
Mostly I plan to review pens, paper and inks; talk about postcards, letter writing and journaling; and, of course, our Akitas and life in general, but you just never know.
Like I said..."Whatever!"

WWF warns Congo fighting threatens rare gorillas and rhino
The World Wide Fund for Nature has warned that fighting in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo could have disastrous consequences for wildlife including the already endangered mountain gorillas and northern white rhinos.
The Fund said the increased presence of high-powered firearms and the disruption of conservation activities were a dangerous combination; the animals could easily fall prey to profiteering amid the chaos of conflict.
A spokeswoman said two mountain gorillas were killed last month.
Fighting by rebels trying to oust President Laurent Kabila is concentrated in eastern Congo -- the region where, along with parts of neighbouring Uganda and Rwanda, half of the world's remaining six-hundred mountain gorillas live.

wikiHow to Make Chicken Bone Fertilizer
Some people like to garden the natural way with organics without the use of synthetic fertilizers. Many of these synthetic chemicals are considered bad for the soil as well as the vegetables you are ingesting. Supplying your soil with organics like bone meal is rich in nitrogen, will help to nourish your soil without the added man-made chemicals. Chicken bones are great for this purpose. Whole chicken bones alone can be great for the soil, but the breaking-down process takes so long that it will just rob the soil of other nutrients. Here is a method you can try to break them down faster and add them to your garden in the fall to get it off to a healthy start.
1Clean as much of the meat and fat off of the bones as you can.
2Place them on a microwavable plate and microwave them for three minutes in three separate increments (a total of nine minutes).
3Let the bones cool for several minutes, as they will be very hot and dry at this point.
4Place the dry, brittle bones into a heavy iron pot, then gradually mash them with a piece of wood or a hammer. Wear goggles to keep from being hit with little bone fragments. Stir the now-smaller bone fragments around to reposition them. You can keep mashing them until you have mostly powdered bones with some larger fragments, but it's best to mash them into a fine powder.
- Once you have the powder, you can also add eggs shells for added calcium, which will make your plants more disease resistant. Microwave the egg shells for two minutes, then grind and add.
5Work of all your natural fertilizer 6 to 8 inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm) away from the root ball and 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) into the depth of the soil.
6During the growing season, work gently around the root ball. The roots will spread, so keep adding bone powder as they grow, but keep the powder a 6 to 8 inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm) away from the root ball. Rainwater will gradually work it towards the secondary roots in no time. The secondary roots grow very rapidly, so keeping the bone meal farther away is usually no problem, since these little roots will search for the meal on their own.
Community Q&A
Can I use Miracle-Gro on my green beans and tomatoes?Yes.
- Remember to add eggs shells that have been microwaved for 2 minutes and mashed into a powder to prevent disease, such as blossom rot in tomatoes. ( Prevent Blossom End Rot in Tomatoes)
- Add microwaved banana peals to the chicken fertilizer as an added boost:
- During the budding and flowering, work in wood ashes and and keep all fertilizer 6 to 8 inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm) or so from the root ball and 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) into the soil, then Water in gradually.
- Mix 2 tablespoons of Epsom salts into 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water and shake well for added magnesium. ( Magnesium Sulfate )
- If using tap water, let the tap water breathe in open jugs or containers for 24 hours, as this will give the chlorine time to evaporate. Excess chlorine can be bad for young plants, but as the plants get heartier, tap water is usually fine. Some people even disconnect the pipe from the down spouts before it rains to collect the chlorine-free Rainwater for this purpose, but using the former works almost as well.
- Mix the powdered bones and shells with fresh compost and work it into the soil around root balls of plants. You can do this by mixing all in a large container and stirring vigorously to get it consistent. Work this 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) into depth of the soil and 6 to 8 inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm) away from the root ball, then water once a week with the Epsom salts and water mixture explained. Working the soil is not only good for getting the compost and natural fertilizers into the soil, but also keeping it airy for drainage so that the root ball does not become water logged, which can cause diseases like blossom end rot that many experience with heavy rains or improper watering.
- When your plants show signs of budding, flowering, or showing fruit, it's beneficial to add the dried banana peels or any natural fertilizer that is rich in potassium.

CATENASSI, Fabrizio Zandonadi et al. Relationship between body mass index and gross motor skill in four to six year-old children. Rev Bras Med Esporte [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.4, pp.227-230. ISSN 1517-8692. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1517-86922007000400003.
This study had to aim to verify the relationship between performance in gross motor skill tasks and body mass index (BMI) in four to six year-old boys and girls. 27 children were analyzed, 16 boys and 11 girls, mean age of 5.64 ± 0.67 years. The children were submitted to the Test of Gross Motor Development-Second Edition (TGMD-2), proposed by Ulrich (2000) and to the Körperkoordinations-test für Kinder (KTK), proposed by Kiphard and Schilling (1974). The punctuation obtained in the two tests was reduced to a scale common to both. The correlation between this scale and the BMI of the children was verified through the Spearman correlation test, with P < 0.05. No significant interaction was observed among variables when boys and girls were analyzed or when the analysis was conducted with gender distinction. Moreover, no interaction between the BMI and tasks which required higher demand of physical capacities was observed, which should be verified in further studies. It was possible to conclude from our results, that the performance of four to six year-old children in tasks which involved gross motor skill did not relate with BMI.

Like many other Social Enterprises, our client was trying to cope with changes in the government funding programmes, such as supporting the disabled in getting back into the workplace.
Apart from the obvious pressures on costs, the nature of the contracts was being changed too. With close to 60,000 clients on its book, this was having a major impact on the charity's strategic planning and creating some seemingly insurmountable problems for the IT organisation.
The CIO Partnership was referred to our client as an organisation with the available expertise and experience to pull them through. One of our senior associates took up a part-time executive position and over an 18 month period supported the organisation in a number of important ways:
The CIO Partnership ensured that the client focused on its strategic issues first. This meant that subsequent IT related organisational, operational and infrastructure changes and investments were based on true "business need" and not driven by tactical considerations such as simply replacing one PC brand with another.
Our client is now well set to not only to weather the changes in government spending and policy but actually to deliver more effective services at a much lower cost.

Lebanon holds national dialogue
Parties from across Lebanon's political spectrum gathered for unprecedented talks in a bid to find unity amid rifts over Syrian influence in the country. A total of 14 groups, Christian and Muslim, pro- and anti-Syrian, met for the week-long roundtable session in the parliament building, the first such meeting without Syrian supervision in over 30 years.
The national dialogue was launched by pro-Syrian parliamentary speaker Nabih Berri, AFP reported. Other participants include Druze leader Walid Jumblatt, parliamentary majority leader Saad Hariri, former general Michel Aoun, Christian leader Samir Geagea and Hizbullah's chief, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah.
An official source said the demand to disarm Hizbullah would be discussed as well as mounting calls for pro-Syrian President Emile Lahoud to step down.
Publisher and Christian MP Ghassan Tueni, whose anti-Syrian MP son was murdered in a Beirut bombing last December, and pro-Syrian Christian MP Michel Murr were also at the meeting. Following the first closed session of the dialogue, Berri told reporters that politicians discussed setting up an international tribunal to try ex-premier Rafic al Hariri's suspected killers. He added the roundtable discussions were serious and positive despite the differences in opinion among the participants.

Current Legal Issues in the External Relations of the European Union
This paper is based on a lecture delivered during the Academy of European Law Summer School 2006. It provides an examination from a legal perspective of three current themes in the external relations of the European Union. First, the legal implications of the pillar structure for external relations, including recent case law and practical issues arising from the application of Article 47 TEU, the borderline between Community external policies and the Union's common foreign and security policy, and practical interpillar cooperation. It concludes that it is easier to combine the pillars by means of pragmatic solutions, whereas it is much more difficult in the case of a strictly legal construction which takes into account the requirements of Union coherence and the separate character of each pillar. Second, the paper turns to the balance between Member States and the European Union/Community in external policy and in particular the application of the AETR test in recent case law including the Open Skies cases, the Lugano Convention Opinion and the Mox Plant case. It concludes that a proper application of the AETR remains a practical challenge that transcends the narrow issue of pure legal deduction as to whether Community competence is affected or not. And third, the paper considers the position of the EU within, and participation in the work of, international organisations such as the United Nations, the WHO and the WTO. The paper concludes by emphasising the need for collaboration between the institutions and for pragmatic solutions to the problems that are inevitable while the Union retains its current complex structure.

Burroughs Named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week
Nebraska senior Jordan Burroughs was named the Big 12 Wrestler of the Week on Monday, Dec. 13, for his performance during the second week of December. The honor marks the third time in Burroughs' career that he has been named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week, and the first time since the 2008-09 season. The last Husker wrestler to earn the conference honor was last season when Craig Brester was named Wrestler of the Week on Dec. 14.
Burroughs earned the honor after going 2-0 during the week with two technical fall victories to improve his season record to 13-0 and 8-0 in dual play. Burroughs defeated No. 6 Cody Yohn (Minnesota) by technical fall, 23-7 (5:54), in the Huskers' dual against Minnesota on Dec. 9, before defeating Jon Brascetta (Oregon State) by technical fall, 26-9 (5:17), on Dec. 11. In the Huskers' dual against Oregon State, NU trailed the Beavers 9-12 before Burroughs brought the Huskers back to give them a 14-12 lead with two matches remaining in the dual. Nebraska won the dual, 17-16.
On the season, Burroughs has recorded 54 takedowns through eight duals and has yet to give up a takedown. The Sicklerville, N.J., native has been dominant all season having won seven out of his last eight matches by fall or technical fall, while racking up a team-leading 41 team dual points.
Burroughs and the Huskers return to the mat on Dec. 29-30, when they travel to the Midlands Wrestling Championships in Evanston, Ill.

High returns are rewarded to the majority of at-home beauty device firms that had the foresight to enter Asia, according to recently Kline reports.
Retailers looking for opportunities in emerging markets should look East, particularly to China, which ranks as the top country in A.T. Kearney's annual Global Retail Development Index (GRDI).
The European Union is leading an international pilot project through which, upon request from a generic pharmaceutical company, it will share the assessment reports generated as part of the decentralized procedure in real time with collaborating regulatory agencies outside the EU.
Online spending in China is set to bypass the United States this year and double within two years, according to a new study.
So is it true that all leaders have vision? Or put another way, can leaders be effective without vision? asks Dave Wendland, VP of Hamacher Resource Group. My instincts suggest that a prerequisite to effective leadership is the ability to create and ignite vision.
Costco Wholesale appears to be eyeing China's online commerce market, according to published reports.

It's hard to imagine a more idyllic setting than the one that greets you at La Hacienda Inn and Restaurant in Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul. Eight miles from the mountain town of Gramado, it's picturesque and utterly peaceful; a place of hills, woodlands, lakes, streams and sweeping gardens.
The hotel's six cottages are as comfortable as a home yet totally luxurious with stone fireplaces, towering ceilings, mezzanines, wooden beams and big, cosy beds. A visit here is all about being outdoors and that means everything from fishing, tennis and swimming to exploring the area by horse or on foot. Boating at Gramado's Black Lake is something special, fringed by pine trees imported from Germany's Black Forest. And trips to the awesome Itaimbezinho Canyon and Quilombo Valley, rich with wildlife and waterfalls, are the kind you'll remember forever.
The town is also home to a great number of museums: wax, chocolate, perfume and Hollywood cars. But back at La Hacienda Inn, the restaurant's modern, organic, flavour-packed dishes hit the spot after a day's sightseeing, and its beautiful backdrop is a tough one to beat. Many of the ingredients featured on the menu were grown on-site in the Hacienda's vegetable garden. Fun fact: the accommodation was built as a consequence of the restaurant's popularity.

Wednesday Jan. 4
Ten minutes after the University of Texas' last-second victory over USC in a thrilling Rose Bowl national championship game, and my son is still lying on the floor crying. Sobbing, he is. Forlorn cries that twist into weak, old-woman moans, followed by such deep gulps of air that I find myself checking him to see if he's choked on his own sorrow. My son is 12 and, as is probably apparent, crazy for the Trojans. What isn't as apparent is how he became a USC fan. "Dad? Who's UCLA's biggest rival?" "Oh, USC by far." "Okay, I'm a USC fan." My wife graduated from UCLA, and my son wanted something to needle her about because if there was one thing that boy loved to do it was needle and talk trash; a lot of trash—the more heartfelt, the more painful, the better. Did I mention he was seven at the time? Now, a half-hour after the game has ended, I tell my son that while it's okay to weep for your team—that it's actually wonderful to feel so passionately about something you can weep for it—the wailing will have to stop. It does, but when I go into his bedroom to kiss him goodnight, he is still crying. Hey, I say, it's okay, as bad as this seems, you'll get over it. He won't, of course. I still haven't forgiven James Worthy for that stupid crosscourt pass he made in game two of the 1984 NBA finals against the Celtics that was stolen and cost the Lakers the game and, eventually, the series. What the hell, James?! Anyway, my son tells me that it isn't so much the losing that has him in its grip, but fear of all that trash he talked coming back at him. Turns out he had been talking a blue streak of smack at school as well as during the game, calling one of his friends—whose parents are from Texas—and taunting him as USC rallied in the second half. He called him so much, in fact, that his friend had taken to answering the phone with a salutary "Shut up!" So, as Texas quarterback Vince Young crossed the goal line with 19 seconds left with the winning touchdown, my son suddenly realized the awesome forces of the universe, karma and that kid with the double Mohawk he'd been calling a loser were now balanced against him. All the trash, all the smack would be mercilessly revisited upon him in one swift, brutal cosmic shift—a psychic beat down of celestial proportions awaited him, and he knew this. And this is not only good, but also why kids should not be home-schooled. There is no greater teacher than the playground. No truer justice. No . . . seriously, Worthy, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?

Charles Manrow, the so-called "senior citizen bandit," is arraigned today in Santa Ana for a series of bank holdups, including heists in San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Niguel and Seal Beach. During robberies, Manrow, who is 70, is alleged to have waved a gun at bank tellers. Though he'd threatened to kill them, the tellers did allow that Manrow was the nicest elderly customer they'd ever had. . . . In related news, the USS Ronald Reagan, named for the dead former president/carbon-dating model, sails out of San Diego Bay for its first deployment. Though the $4.5 billion carrier is powered by two nuclear reactors capable of operating more than 20 years without refueling, allowing the vessel to hit top speeds exceeding 30 knots, it is not considered a long-range fighting ship since it must make port about every hour for a bathroom break.

Got an e-mail today from Richard R. Ruggieri, the attorney for Brandon Maxfield, the kid who was paralyzed by a defective gun manufactured by Costa Mesa's Bryco Arms. A jury awarded Brandon $24 million from Bryco more than 10 years ago, and he still hasn't received all his money, apparently because Bryco's former owner, Bruce Jennings, has been trying to outfit his own army, you know, like Oprah. Ruggieri sent me an auction notice regarding Jennings, who has to sell some things off to pay off his creditors and Maxfield. Jennings now lives in Florida, and going on the block Jan. 19 at the Daytona Beach Hilton will be four airplanes (one experimental); seven automobiles, including a Ferrari Testarossa and Bentley and Porsche turbos; two boats; and three motorcycles, as well as such miscellanea as a golf cart, a P-51 prop hub and a Pacific floor-cleaning machine. A shred of compassion or a soul was not among the listed items. But my question is this: What are you trying to hide, Mr. Jennings? Airplanes? Cars? Boats? Hubs? Fine, but what's the deal with the floor cleaner? I mean, is that the Pacific Fury 1500 DCP High Speed Burnisher featuring a 1.5 HP DC motor, flexible pad driver, pull-button actuator and ergonomic trigger grip for reduced wrist strain? Or, perhaps, the Fury 2000 DCP with adjustable steel handle, base bumper and yellow safety cord? The notice doesn't say. So just what kind of sick, twisted game are you playing?

The trial between the city of Anaheim and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim begins today, and God help the city of Anaheim if it wins. A trial win for Anaheim would be disastrous, catastrophic, cataclysmic—in a word, really, really bad. Anaheim is arguing that Angels owner Arte Moreno violated the spirit of his agreement with the city when he renamed his team the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. When he did that, they say, the city lost out on all the revenue and prestige that come with having your name associated with a major-league team, you know, like the windfalls experienced by the folks in Tampa and Detroit and Oakland. Okay, let's say that a jury buys their argument and awards them millions, perhaps hundreds of millions, of dollars in damages. That would virtually guarantee that Angels owner Arte Moreno would start planning for a move out of the city when his lease is up in about 10 years. What's more—actually, less—is that Moreno would be less likely to spend money on high-priced free agents than he has done so far to great success with American League MVP Vlad Guerrero and American League Cy Young Award winner Bartolo Colon. Hey, Anaheim, you know what gets you less revenue and prestige than a name change? Having a crappy team that nobody wants to see. Three words: Kansas City Royals. Two more words: California Angels. The guy with the most to lose in all of this is Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle, who's been the main agitator on this issue, despite the fact that people in and around his city have continued to support the Angels with record attendance. Pringle is one of these guys who rails against government regulation, unless it's something he wants regulated, and then it damn well is going to be regulated, whether it's a baseball team or a uterus, a man of such soaring principle that he said he would never attend a Los Angeles Angels game until they made the playoffs against the New York Yankees, and then he attended a Los Angeles Angels game. The Angels won that series. Pringle, who's up for re-election, better pray they win in court.

The new Parmigiani Fleurier Métro collection is comprised of the Tonda Métrographe for men and the Tonda Métropolitaine for women. Parmigiani has positioned the collection as "an urban line evoking modernity, trend and youth." The Metro will join the manufacture's five other collections. They are respectably styled chronographs, though my one quibble would be the open tri-date window which I am not a fan of.
Nor can I say I'm a big fan of the bracelet style, but I'll reserve final judgement until I see them in the metal.
However the lume on the black model is quite compelling:
And it does look quite nice from this angle:

Weather delays Division 1 games
Weather forced the postponement of two WIAA Division 1 girls super sectional basketball games to today, leaving the matchups for this weekend�s state tournament at the Kohl Center up for grabs.
Appleton East�s game against Eau Claire North has been rescheduled for 7 tonight at Stevens Point High School. The game originally was scheduled for Tuesday at UW-Stevens Point.
De Pere�s matchup with Nicolet also has been rescheduled for 7 tonight at Oshkosh North High School. It originally was set for Tuesday at UW-Oshkosh.
Both winners then will have to scramble to make it to state on Friday.
So the only thing certain in Division 1 is that top-ranked Middleton (25-1) will play third-rated defending state champion Milwaukee Pius
(25-1) at 8:15 p.m. Friday in the second state semifinal game.
Middleton squeezed past Franklin, 61-59, in a super sectional Tuesday at UW-Whitewater. Pius took out fifth-ranked Racine Case, 70-61, at Wisconsin Lutheran College.
That puts Middleton in the state tournament for the fourth straight year. The Cardinals have won 25 straight since losing their nonconference opener to Morgan Park, Ill., 75-69.
Pius is the state tournament for the third time since becoming a WIAA member in 2000. With a 993 enrollment, Pius actually is a Division 2 school but has chosen to play up a division in girls competition.
The same is true with Nicolet (1,176), which will be bidding for a Division 1 state berth tonight. De Pere, another super sectional qualifier, is only 12 students above the 1,200 enrollment cutoff between Divisions 1 and 2, and the Redbirds were Division 1 runners-up in the boys state tournament last weekend.
Division 2
-- New London (23-3) vs. Milton (22-3), 1:35 p.m.
-- Luxemburg-Casco (25-1) vs. Whitefish Bay (21-5),
3:16 p.m.
New London returns to the state tournament for the first time since back-to-back appearances in 2006-07, which produced a runner-up finish in 2007. The Bulldogs placed second in the Bay Conference this season behind Luxemburg-Casco, a state qualifier in Division 2.
Milton�s last appearance at state also occurred in 2007, when the Red Hawks lost to Merrill in the Division 1 quarterfinals. Their only other appearance came in 1992, when they defeated Lake Geneva Badger in the Division 2 semifinals and lost the title game to Minocqua Lakeland, 47-42.
Luxemburg-Casco is back for the sixth time overall and the first since 2004, when the Spartans captured the Division 2 title. They also won state titles in 1994 and 1988 and were runners-up in 1995.
Whitefish Bay has six previous appearances in the state tournament, with the last one coming in 2006. The Blue Dukes were Class A runners-up to D.C. Everest in 1986, and they placed second to Monroe in Division 2 in 2006.
Division 3
-- Altoona (19-7) vs. Prairie du Chien (21-5), 9:05 a.m.
-- Kewaunee (23-3) vs. Whitefish Bay Dominican
(26-0), 10:30 a.m.
Altoona has made it to the state tournament for the third time in four years. The Rails lost in the Division 2 semifinals last year and in 2008.
This season, the Rails finished second in the Western Division of the Cloverbelt Conference, which was won by Division 4 state qualifier Eau Claire Regis.
Prairie du Chien advanced to state for the first time since its only other appearance, a Division 2 state championship in 1991. The Blackhawks overcame a one-point halftime deficit for a 47-34 win over Edgerton in last Saturday�s sectional finals.
Dominican will be making its first appearance in the WIAA state tournament after the Knights� 47-40 win over Winnebago Lutheran in the Waukesha West Sectional finals.
Kewaunee also is appearing in the state tournament for the first time. The Storm defeated Freedom, 47-44, in the Ashwaubenon Sectional finals.
The Storm tied for the Packerland Conference title with Algoma, which has also qualified for the state tournament in Division 4.
Division 4
-- Eau Claire Regis (25-1) vs. Westby (24-1), 6:35 p.m.
-- Algoma (25-1) vs. Oostburg (22-3), 8:15 p.m.
Oostburg, last year�s Division 3 runner-up, is back at state for the fifth straight year and the ninth time overall. The Flying Dutch won Division 3 state championships in 1990, 1994 and 2008.
Algoma returns to state for the first time since 1986 and the sixth time overall. The Wolves won the Class C championship in 1986 after taking second in 1985. They also won the Class B title in 1981.
The Wolves are Packerland Conference co-champions this season with Division 3 state qualifier Kewaunee.
Regis is appearing at state for the third time and first since back-to-back trips in 2003-04, which produced a Division 4 championship in 2003.
Westby has made it to state for the first time after getting by Belleville, 38-37, in the Baraboo Sectional finals.
Division 5
-- Prentice (25-1) vs. River Ridge (19-7), 1:35 p.m.
-- Wausau Newman (26-1) vs. South Wayne Black Hawk
(25-0), 3:15 p.m.
Defending Division 4 champion Wausau Newman is making its eighth overall appearance since joining the WIAA in 2000. The Cardinals also won the state title in 2002, and their appearances in 2005 and 2006 produced runner-up finishes.
Black Hawk, last year�s Division 4 runner-up, is making its third straight appearance and third overall. The Warriors� first appearance, in 2009, resulted in a semifinal loss.
Prentice will be making its ninth state appearance but its first since 1993. All eight previous appearances came in a period from 1981-93, which produced Class C titles in 1981 and 1989 and a Division 4 championship in 1992. The Buccaneers also finished second in 1982 and 1993.
River Ridge has qualified for the first time. But the school was formerly Bloomington, which made two appearances. The first resulted in a second-place finish in 1976.

Clint Bowyer didn't even try to hide his excitement at finally winning a NASCAR race in his home state, especially after the disappointment of coming so close twice before.
"We've had some good runs here, but we haven't been able to seal the deal," Bowyer said after dominating the Trucks Series race Saturday at Kansas Speedway. "So to finally be able to do a burnout in the homestretch in front of this crowd, this is big. This track means a lot to me, I watched this place being built and dreamed of being able to race here in anything, so to be able to roll into victory lane is pretty cool."
Bowyer, who grew up 90 miles away in Emporia, finished second at Kansas once in Sprint Cup competition and once in the Nationwide series. But on Saturday in the 400th race in Trucks Series history, he dominated throughout to snap Kyle Busch's winning streak at three races.
Bowyer started second and quickly took control, leading 142 laps in the 167-lap, 250-mile race on the 1.5-mile tri-oval. A late caution forced a restart with 30 laps to go, but Bowyer easily pulled ahead of Johnny Sauter and cruised unchallenged to his third career Trucks win and first this season.
"I thought we had the truck to beat going into the race today," Sauter said. "We led for a little bit, but I think Clint was just being patient. He by far had the dominant truck."
Sauter was second, followed by Todd Bodine, James Buescher, Joey Coulter, Busch, Brendan Gaughan, rookie Nelson Piquet Jr., Brad Sweet and Travis Kvapil.
"We had a horrible truck all day," Busch said. "Just was fighting real, real tight. Couldn't get it to where it needed to be."
Sauter took over the points lead, moving 12 ahead of rookie Cole Whitt. Whitt stayed in the middle of the pack for most of the day, starting 16th and finishing 15th.
Austin Dillon, who started on the pole, fell off the pace early and was penalized twice, once for coming out of pit road too fast and once for entering too fast. He finished 12th.
Four-time series champion Ron Hornaday, who entered fifth in the standings, blew his left rear tire and hit the wall 17 laps in. He finished 30th, 66 laps down, and slipped one spot to sixth.
Bowyer, meanwhile, will try to become the second racer to sweep a weekend at Kansas Speedway. Joe Nemechek did it in 2004, winning Nationwide and Cup races on consecutive days.
Bowyer will have to move up significantly to challenge for a win, however. He will start 27th Sunday.
"Tomorrow is going to be a handful. It's going to be a bear," Bowyer said. "I want to win a Cup race here bad."

3 things the B/R Sportswriting Internship has taught me
For the Love of the Page is a series in which Bleacher Report Sportswriting Interns explain why they write and what they've learned.
* * *
When I applied to the Bleacher Report Sportswriting Internship, I wrote that I wanted the program to challenge me in ways that no other sportswriting position had done before.
I can safely say my desire has been fulfilled.
So, what have I learned thus far?
Well, there is the obvious. The program emulates the type of systematic structure, both in the managing of writers and in the content itself, which can be found in any serious journalism job. At first, abiding by the specifics of the writing was difficult. But as is the case with most new things one can encounter in life, eventually these become second nature.
The weekly content email is an absolutely perfect way to develop content. There is a clearly stated deadline, but even with firm titles and topics, a good deal of freedom is left open. Assignments are given without stifling creativity.
But there are far more meaningful learning experiences than adhering to minor details.
First and foremost, this internship has further cemented the three necessary steps to the writing process: research, construction and revision.
Before I write a single word, I first construct an extensive outline on all my major points. This means conceptualizing my major claims, finding statistics to back them and scanning the web for what others are saying. It is also important to make sure I get the facts right, because whether or not I am an expert on an exact topic, the people who read the articles are. Or at least they seem to think so!
If the research is done well, the writing process is quick. In fact, I have learned through the program to not even begin writing until I feel like the structure is in place to make everything come easily.
Once the article is finished, I like to put it down for a little while. After reading something 10 straight times, it can become nearly impossible to find typos, misspellings or clunky paragraphs/sentences. Coming back after an hour or two illuminates these errors.
When I tell people that I want to be a sportswriter, I get a common question: "Who do you want to write like?" It's a fair question, but largely through this internship, it is one I have grown to loathe.
Who do I want to write like? I want to write like nobody else. I want to write like myself.
Bill Simmons, Rick Reilly, Peter King and Michael Wilbon are all fine writers, but trying to emulate their style would do nothing but make my work come off as a cheap version of something that is already readily available.
It takes time to build a unique voice, and thankfully, the B/R internship has provided me with ample opportunities and the staff, peers and audience to let me know how I am progressing.

Friendly Island, conditioned by Todd Pletcher, tackles the Richard Dutrow Jr. trainee Kazoo in Saturday's $200,000 Emirates Airline Maryland Breeders' Cup Sprint Handicap (gr. III) on the Preakness (gr. I) undercard at Pimlico Race Course Saturday.Dutrow won the six-furlong race with Willy o' the Valley last year."He's doing very well,'' Pletcher said of Friendly Island, the New York bred son of Crafty Friend who is coming off a second-place finish in the Count Fleet Handicap (gr. III). "He ran a big race last time in Oaklawn. We were second best to what looks like the top sprinter on the West Coast (Bordonaro). We felt like spacing-wise this was pretty good – it gave us about five weeks from the last race, which we felt was important."Friendly Island, the 8-5 morning-line favorite, has been somewhat fragile with only 12 starts halfway through his 5-year-old season. This year he's winless in three trips to the post: sixth in the Deputy Minister (gr. III) at Gulfstream on a wet track and a close third behind well-regarded Gaff in the Mr. Prospector (gr. III) in Florida. But the Anstu Stable runner won six of nine starts before that."Our horse has a lot of speed and Kazoo has a lot of speed,'' Pletcher said. "I would think they'd be rolling right along. (Friendly Island) seems like in two races this year he's really run big races. If he continues that way, I think he's creeping into the top of the class."The 8-year-old Kazoo could go favored in the field of seven after his second-place finish against Sun King in Keeneland's Commonwealth Breeders' Cup (gr. II) at seven furlongs on April 15. He won the Toboggan (gr. III) at Aqueduct and was second in an allowance race in his other start this winter. Kazoo carries top weight of 120 pounds, four more than his main rival."I'm just hoping he likes the track," Dutrow said. "If he likes the track, he'll be OK."Gaff is the other top contender for trainer Steve Asmussen. The 4-year-old son of Maria's Mon won the Mr. Prospector at Gulfstream Park in January, then finished fifth in a field of 15 in the Golden Shaheen (UAE-I) in Dubai on the World Cup undercard.
Crafty Schemer had won three of four for local conditioner Benny Feliciano before being soundly beaten in the Commonwealth in his last start. Gold Cluster, another Maryland runner, was second in Pimlico's $75,000 Hoover on April 23.$200,000 Emirates Airline Maryland Breeders' Cup Sprint Handicap (gr.

I recently had the chance to go back through my 72 hour kits. I changed out some clothing for my children, removed some things that didn't make sense anymore and replaced the food. As I was doing this I found a few things that made me glad I had been looking over my kits.
The first item I found was in the food. I had placed pop-top mixed fruit cans, and in three of my kits the tops had been popped. The contents had gotten all over the rest of the food, and then of course had dried out. It was pretty gross. So if you are going to use those types of cans make sure you pack them in a way that they can't get accidentally opened. Continue reading "Thoughts on refreshing a 72 hour kit"

In the correspondence, Mr Spiegel talks about urinating on a woman, helping friends to have sex with drunk "sororisluts", shooting lasers at "fat chicks" and oral sex.
According to tech blog Valleywag, which published the messages on Wednesday, they were sent between 2009-10 when Mr Spiegel was an undergraduate at California's elite Stanford University.
The tech founder, now 23 years old, was a member of the college's Kappa Sigma fraternity.
Mr Spiegel said in an emailed statement to the tech blogs TechCrunch and Mashable: "I'm obviously mortified and embarrassed that my idiotic emails during my fraternity days were made public.
"I have no excuse. I'm sorry I wrote them at the time and I was jerk to have written them. They in no way reflect who I am today or my views towards women."
His Los Angeles-based company makes a mobile application for photo messages that disappear.
Last year he turned down a $3bn (£1.8bn) offer from Facebook to buy Snapchat.

LONDON, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Shares of the Royal Mail were priced at the high end of the expected range, $5.28 per share, as the government moves forward with privatizing the service.
The share price values the struggling service at $5.3 billion, The New York Times reported.
"The buzz is huge. There hasn't been a privatization of that magnitude in a long while, and people think they can make an instant gain," said stockbroker David Scott at Redmayne Bentley.
"We've been absolutely inundated with calls from clients," Scott said.
The government said it would retain a 38 percent stake in the company, which dates back to the 16th century and the court of Henry VIII.
The government, however, could reduce its shares to 30 percent, allowing for sale of what is called an over allotment that comes into play if demand warrants it.

Weekend Digest: How Entrepreneurs Learn From Mistakes
For our weekend business and political readers, we offer this collection of national and international stories of interest:
The late and brilliant leader of Apple, Steve Jobs, didn't exactly have smooth sailing running the company, according to Harvard Business Review. The Review points out that Jobs – like a lot of visionary leaders – had his share of stumbles along the way.
It's a great disservice to everyone, especially young people, that the stories that we often hear about the most accomplished entrepreneurs sound so effortless. The truth is just the opposite, even for visionary creative success stories like those of Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Howard Schultz, Wendy Kopp, and even the legendary Steve Jobs. Like any creative process, any entrepreneur who wants to invent, innovate, or create must be willing to be imperfect and make mistakes in order to learn what works and what does not.
What were some of Jobs' biggest blunders? Go to this link to find the Review's list and summary of "Five of Steve Jobs' Biggest Mistakes."
Entrepreneur takes a personal look at the setbacks, some more famous than others, of Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group.
Billionaire Branson's Virgin enterprise has spawned 400 companies around the world including his airlines Virgin Atlantic. Besides his entrepreneur skills, Sir Richard has become known for some incredible daredevil adventures like attempting to circle the earth in a hot-air balloon.
But Entrepreneur reports he has had his share of "mis-adventures" while building his business empire.
Branson launched a since-shuddered chain of bridal shops in the mid-1990s. And, of course, there's Virgin Cola, the billionaire's attempt to dethrone Coca-Cola — for which he famously drove a tank into Times Square to announce — that he admits is perhaps his biggest business stumble.
In a revealing interview, Entrepreneur sits down with Branson "to talk about (mis)adventures, the joy of setbacks and how to compete in a world of Goliaths." Click here for the full story.

That's the gist of an op-ed posted by the New York Times regarding America's internet services. Why is the U.S. falling behind other countries in such things as high-capacity fiber networks "reaching homes?"
Although Julius Genachowski, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, has challenged the country to build additional gigabit fiber networks — about 100 times faster than most residential connections today — his words won't advance our digital future unless they are backed up with the leadership necessary to enact pro-growth, pro-innovation and competition-enabling rules.
At the heart of the problem lie a few powerful companies with enormous influence over policymaking. Both the wireless and wired markets for high-speed Internet access have become heavily concentrated, and neither is subject to substantial competition nor oversight.
Who are these companies and why is the FCC being bogged down "over the scope of its regulatory powers?"
A third of Americans opt not to buy high-speed Internet access at home, often because they can't afford it.
What steps does the federal government need to take to remove barriers to investment in local fiber networks? Go inside the Times story for three needed goals that could provide solutions.
On August 28, 1963 former Villanova basketball player George Raveling became the keeper of a national treasure. By an amazing set of circumstances, the 24-year-old young man had been recruited at the last minute to help provide security at the Washington D.C. Mall for the civil rights "March on Washington," which ended with Dr. Martin Luther King's brilliant and famous "I Have A Dream" speech.
Raveling went on to become a successful college basketball coach for three decades but on August 28, 1963 he came away from that day with a bit of American history in his hands.
Time recounts the events of the day for Raveling and how it all fell into place. It started when he was placed by the dias near the entertainers and speakers for his security post.
He heard Peter, Paul, and Mary singing "Blowin' in the Wind," Bob Dylan performed a tribute song for Medgar Evers, and Odetta stirred the crowd with a soulful rendition of "O'Freedom Over Me!" But while Raveling enjoyed the entertainment, the day for him was all business. "It was great seeing Harry Belafonte or Sidney Poitier but I didn't focus on them," he says. "I took my responsibility seriously and stayed focused on the crowd."
And then it was time for Dr. King's speech, and what happened after it has forever changed Raveling's life.
Go to this link to find out what happened and how Raveling became the "Guardian" of the dream.
Politico has taken an in-depth look at President Obama's second inaugural speech that it says "seems entirely possible will be seen as a signal event."
The moment when Obama let go of caution, gave up imagining he could persuade or find common ground with conservatives and put the world on notice that he was ready to fight for a liberal agenda and roll right over his opponents. This belief is why many Democrats were enthralled with Obama's address.
It seems just as possible that it will be remembered forlornly — a moment when Obama naively imagined that fortune was in his favor and did not reckon with how events, and opponents, might have other plans in store.
Get the full analysis from Politico plus what was "notably absent in the speech" and how that could affect the president's agenda. Click here for the story plus a complete video replay of the speech if you haven't seen it.
Everything from fear of eventually giving up Second Amendment rights to hysteria over proposed bans on assault weapons has stirred up a lot of controversy for Congressmen particularly Democratic Senators, reports The New York Times.
Before Senator Joe Manchin III invited a group of 15 businessmen and community leaders to lunch last week to discuss the topic, he had only a vague idea of how anxious many of his supporters were.
"How many of you all believe that there is a movement to take away the Second Amendment?" he asked.
About half the hands in the room went up.
Despite his best attempts to reassure them — "I see no movement, no talk, no bills, no nothing" — they remained skeptical. "We give up our rights one piece at a time," a banker named Charlie Houck told the senator.
Democratic Senators led by Dianne Feinstein of California want to introduce legislation that would outlaw more than 100 types of assault weapons. Despite many recent mass shootings, critics say they will have a fight on their hands.
And on the afternoon the 15 residents met with Mr. Manchin in the conference room of a local arts center, they told him that going after guns and ammunition capacity would be much like banning box cutters after the Sept. 11 attacks, or limiting whiskey and six-pack sales to cure alcoholism.

This past week outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spent more than five hours being grilled about her "long-awaited testimony about the Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya."
Throughout the tense, emotional and dramatic session there was no shortage of key moments.

HITFIX calls 34-year-old Jeff Nichols' 2012 film Mud "masterful" and is a follow up to the producer, screenwriter, and director's two other highly acclaimed works, Shotgun Stories (2007) and Take Shelter (2011).
"Mud," screening tonight at the Sundance Film Festival, is a masterful combination of both stews that rings a storybook note owing as much to Gary Paulsen as to Mark Twain, and with more on its mind than perhaps anything the director has offered so far.

There are many versions of Kirsten Larson who used to sit on a shelf in a library but now is being loaned to little girls for hugs and kisses.
What is Kirsten's remarkable story and how does she travel from one girl's house to another?
The doll, part of a brand that is all the rage among girls and whose price tag is rage-inducing to many parents, has become one of the most sought-after items at the library. For some girls, Kirsten was the only way they could afford such a luxury item in their home. For others, it was the only way their liberal-minded parents would allow any doll into their home, refusing to indulge in gender stereotypes or what they considered to be an elitist hobby.
Suzette Seepersad had been avoiding buying her daughter Caelyn Osborn, 5, any toys geared toward girls. But Caelyn fell in love with Kirsten, taking her to the family's apartment, bathing her, reading stories to her and putting her to bed. After keeping the doll for two weeks or so, she had to be reminded by a librarian to return it.
For this doll of a story and it's many fans, go to this link.

CORVALLIS, Ore., Oct. 22 (UPI) -- Researchers at Oregon State University and the Pacific Northwest Research Station say global warming during the next century could spur some forest growth.
The study, led by university researcher Greg Latta, suggests global warming would significantly increase the productivity of high-elevation forests in the Pacific Northwest. However, forests at lower elevations -- which have accounted for more than 80 percent of the region's recent timber harvest – could face a decline in growth.
The scientists said their computer models show the most productivity would occur in Washington, where high-elevation forests could have productivity increases between 35 percent and 500 percent annually, depending on which climate scenario is used. In Oregon, similar elevations might see more modest forest growth increases of 9 percent to 75 percent.
The researchers said overall, forest productivity could increase about 7 percent annually in forests west of the Cascade Range and 20 percent in forests east of the range.
"There's a lot of variability here, depending on which climate scenario turns out to be most accurate and what policy changes are made as a result," said Professor Darius Adams. "And there are dramatic differences in forest regions and elevations. Clearly the forest growth is likely to increase the most at higher elevations, but it's worth noting that those forests never had very high growth rates to start with."
The study appears in the journal Forest Ecology and Management.
