In Houston, McCain's energy plan garners praise
McCain's energy plan gets positive reception
Most oil execs respond favorably as he touts policy and raises funds in campaign trip here
The oil industry generally approved Tuesday as Republican presidential candidate John McCain charted his policies on energy with a speech in Houston that jabbed the Bush administration, Democratic foe Barack Obama, Wall Street and oil-rich foreign regimes.
McCain said the federal government should ease regulations on offshore oil drilling and refinery construction and expand the use of nuclear energy, but press for eventual reliance on alternate energy sources such as wind and sunlight.
The Arizona senator also was here for a campaign fundraising event that was said to net about $2 million at the chateau-style home of restaurant executive Tilman Fertitta in River Oaks. There, after the energy talk, portable chillers on the lawn blew cold air as some supporters sweltered in the heat for 30 minutes to have their photo taken with the candidate. A dinner to raise more money for McCain was held at a home owned by Houston investor Fayez Sarofim.
Let states decide drillingSome oil and gas interests said McCain did not go far enough in proposing expanded domestic production, while Democrats and environmentalists said he offered nothing that would help reduce the United States' dependence on oil.
But Rayola Dougher, senior economic adviser for the American Petroleum Institute, the U.S. oil and gas industry's trade group, said approvingly of the candidate's speech, "We need policies for the short term and the longer term. Any policy that would encourage more supply will have an impact."
With prices soaring for gasoline and unrefined oil, McCain chose the nation's energy capital as the location for sketching what he said would be a series of ideas designed to make the U.S. less dependent on foreign oil shipments now and sensitive in the long term to global warming caused by the burning of fuels that create greenhouse gases.
As promised, he called for dissolving the federal ban on offshore oil drilling on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts and some parts of the eastern Gulf of Mexico. States should decide, he said.
"As for offshore drilling, it's safe enough these days that not even Hurricanes Katrina and Rita could cause significant spillage from the battered rigs off the coasts of New Orleans and Houston," McCain said. "Yet for reasons that become less convincing with every rise in the price of foreign oil, the federal government discourages offshore production."
Support and criticismHis audience of about 400 people in a downtown hotel ballroom was supportive, as was Houston-based Anadarko Petroleum Corp. CEO Jim Hackett .
"The discussion about the need for additional access is a positive development for American consumers," Hackett said. "We need to get serious about producing our own resources for the benefit of Americans."
Larry Nichols, CEO of Oklahoma City-based Devon Energy, which is second only to Chevron Corp. in holding the most Gulf of Mexico leases, called McCain's proposals a "truly honest assessment of what our energy policies have been and need to be."
"There is no quick fix either for suddenly developing new alternative sources of energy that aren't yet discovered any more than a quick fix for developing our historic resources," he said. "But that's no excuse for not starting."
But John Walker, president and CEO of EnerVest, a Houston-based oil and gas management company, said McCain's idea on the offshore ban, which applies to about 80 percent of the nation's waters, falls short of reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
"The only interim solution for less dependence on foreign oil and gas would be to actually open these areas up," he said. "(As president), he has the power to do that."
'Underwriting tyranny'The Democratic National Committee said McCain was engaging in double talk because he voted against at least some legislation promoting development of alternate fuels. McCain has also voted for keeping the offshore drilling ban.
"Rather than offering consumers real relief from skyrocketing energy prices, Sen. McCain's plan would merely pad Big Oil's bottom line while putting thousands of miles of pristine beaches and coastline at risk," Sierra Club president Carl Pope said.
But McCain declared in the speech that "the next president must be willing to break with the energy policies not just of the current administration, but the administrations that preceded it, and lead a great national campaign to achieve energy security for America."
McCain, unlike Bush, wants to keep the ban on drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge. And in a slap at Vice President Dick Cheney, who said in 2001 that conservation "may be a sign of personal virtue but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound comprehensive energy policy," McCain remarked Tuesday, "Energy conservation is no longer just a moral luxury or a personal virtue. Conservation serves a critical national goal."
He criticized Obama for supporting a windfall profits tax on oil companies and not pushing for further exploitation of coal and other domestic resources. Obama emphasizes trying to lower gasoline prices by reducing demand through greater vehicle fuel efficiency and alternative energy development.
McCain said some Wall Street speculators should be punished for artificially inflating the price of oil; Democrats said McCain's economic adviser, Phil Gramm, carried the legislation as a U.S. senator from Texas that allowed such betting on the price.
Regardless, said McCain, it was irresponsible to leave the U.S. in a situation where it pays so much to oil-producers such as Venezuela, Angola and some Middle East nations.
"In effect, our petrodollars are underwriting tyranny, anti-Semitism, the brutal repression of women in the Middle East, and dictators and criminal syndicates in our own hemisphere," he said. "We cannot allow the world's greatest democracy to be complicit in such corruption and injustice."

Unlock your best future
"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give" Winston Churchill
Vision Board Workshop
Start with a Vision Board
About me
Just like you, many of my life experiences have caused me to dig deeper into what I know and what I value and to really face situations head on.
There have been times of wealth, poverty and times of danger.
I am very grateful for the challenging times and to celebrate my life.
The contrasts in my life have developed my creativity, my resilience and my purpose.
It is the choices that you make, the habits you create, the thoughts, words and value you live by are what will determine how you design your life. I also figured out that I am not a victim of my circumstances but I am a creator of my circumstances.
Instead of looking at all the reasons why I wasn't getting ahead I made the decision to change my focus and create the belief that I am resourceful. My decisions, not my conditions create my life. One decision I made that was a turning point for me was to set my intention, be very clear on my vision and the goals I wanted to achieve in my life.
When it seemed impossible, I set three major goals : one goal was to invest in my education. I focused on my development and gained degress in teaching, man
agement and workplace training.
I have gained accreditation, experience and provided training and learning in change readiness, leadership, event management, communication, project management, learning technology and service skills. The fascinating world of psychology, coaching certification and metaphysics opened up to me and are the tools of my life and coaching.
The second goal was to be a positive influence for my family and lay the groundwork for their success and the third goal was to make sure I travel a lot and experience many cultures and have many adventures. My intention, vision and goals continue to lay the structure for my life. I live a rich, stable and satisfying life.
My intention now is to help others unlock their best future.
I am up for a revolution to help others unlock their best future. What about you?
So, if you are serious about your success, don't wing it.
I welcome the chance to assist you on your journey and help you unlock your best future.
What does unlock your best future mean?
This all started for me when I made the decision to take a different direction and wow, that was a big step.
The clues for me to get out and make the shift took me a while to hear, it had to start shouting at me to take action and start seeking. Back then, I wish I had a coach to get me there faster.
I was seeking more for my quality of life and creating more of what I wanted to be and to do. My success is grounded in being true to who I know myself to be.
For me when I coined the phrase
unlock your best future:
" it meant that it is already there and waiting for each one of us to make the choice and celebrate our unique contribution.

Tired of bloated comments on Dribbble? Let's focus on »real« feedback and make it harder for spammers to get attention.
--- How it works ---
Install the extension and forget it. It will analyse any given Dribbble post page in the background and use a combination of keywords and comment length to determine if the comment contains proper feedback. It will then show you how many comments have been hidden above the comment section. By clicking this number you can reveal them again.
More than 50% of comments on Dribbble are useless. This extension effectively removes 95% of them. It will make a VERY clear difference! Yes, of course you can cheat it, but then you're really just trying too hard and I think it would be easier to just write a proper comment, wouldn't it? :)

Hollowbound Book
Erik Loyer's interactive, animated WebTake
As the 21st century backlash against techno-hype intensifies, it's
refreshing to find a thinker like N. Katherine
Hayles who isn't afraid to embrace the transformations in and of literature
by the digital. The fact that Writing Machines' masterful
designer, Anne Burdick, collaborated deeply with Hayles means that
the book itself is an instrument of this transformation on a host
of visual and conceptual levels.
In the world conjured by Hayles and Burdick, it's OK to talk about
how your childhood shapes your theoretical approach; it's OK to
allow the texts you analyze to bleed visually into your own written
words; it's OK to treat a literary work's materiality as an essential
element of its message. In all of these examples, things traditionally
unseen have been made visible.
While developing this WebTake I had the pleasure of getting to
play in this world, and found myself intrigued by the prospect of
giving a voice to these discoveries under the guise of a metaphor:
a book's binding. A good binding exerts invisible force that holds
a book together, serving as the mute foundation of its physicality.
Hayles and Burdick create a conceptual space that allows the binding
to speak, but after so many years of repression, what is it likely
to say?
Thanks to Peter Lunenfeld, Hayles, Burdick, Art Center College
of Design, and MIT Press for the opportunity to fantasize about
talking books.

Looks like an interesting discussion has proceeded from a misunderstanding of something I wrote. First, I agree with Lorenzo about the lack of observational basis for horoscopes in antiquity. His view is consistent with the impression I formed when I researched the historical origin of astrology in the '80s.
I would go further and suggest that astrologers in those days took the mathematics for granted much as they do today, probably for the same psychological reasons. Why undertake a reality check when you can perform wizardry for the customer regardless of the outcome?

Ah, but I did not refer to chart calculation! Transits are a technique that does not require a horoscope to be erected. What I meant was concurrent awareness of any competent astrologer of current planetary positions and configurations to each other. This would proceed from a combination of use of tables, as Lorenzo suggests, and visual checking when possible. These days I do the modern equivalent: compare planetary positions in the real-time on-screen computer simulation with what I see in the clear night sky. I studied astronomy when I was 14 (out of school) so I recognise all the visible planets and the constellations and can do a rough translation into the tropical zodiac in my head at the time. Anyone can learn to do this, it isn't hard, nor would it have been then.

Ok, fair enough. Egypt is different, which is probably where the use of the horizon was given emphasis. A tradition of observing heliacal risings dating back several millennia.

I agree that the nomadic tribes of Arabia seem not to have ever bothered with any organised system of astronomy or astrology. Can't say the same about the Sahara. Proof of astronomical observations was furnished by the rock circle with cardinal point orientations found a few years back. I also have a vague memory of a rock henge, in a completely different place. These were allocated dates in the period before the desert came, when the land was pastoral (post ice-age to c. 3000 BC). One of the two was featured in a National Geographic article and photo shoot.

Interesting. I would suggest the hypothetical existence of a small minority of astrologers who were driven by their conscience, and/or natal `planets' or axes in Virgo, to compare tabled positions with actual positions from time to time. After all, that's how Hipparchus discovered the drift of the vernal equinox. And remember all the other famous astronomers who were likewise astrologers as well: Kepler, Galileo, Ptolemy, etc.

It is not universal when one can provide a single counter-example, and I can. Kepler was motivated to produce the Rudolphine tables out of his disgust with the redundancy and inaccuracy of the prior tables. Sure, he used Tycho's observations, but Tycho was also an astrologer.

Subject: [e] Re: irony
Not really constructive, irony, a manner of expression of the winners -- &
cynicism: of "non-believers" -- are frequently employed by astronomers,
historians, sociologists & al. (all the sociological discourse is mainly nothing
more than mere irony!) when they speak about astrology, or with astrologers. Their
users are forgetting:
1. that the social-cultural world won't probably be the same in two centuries
2. that today's erudition champions aren't protected themselves from irony & cynicism by the future ones
3. that they have no conclusive authority to assert what the REAL is or isn't
On the other side, I advocate that some "prospective" astrologers could use too of a manner of IRONICAL NAIVETY vis-a-vis the limited ideological-autoritative viewpoint -- which isn't even a view, but a mere consensual melting-pot.

The history of MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co SA Geneva
The rise of MSC to near global status was achieved in the short period of 13 years only. It had been more than astonishing, and there was little to suggest when its first liner service between the Mediterranean, South and East Africa was launched between 1972 and 1975 that within 10 years it would rank among the world top ten container carriers. The companys founder Gianluigi Aponte, is still very much at the core of MSCs activities, and a relatively high proportion of his top management - many with a seafaring background - have been with the company for many years, giving a stability which is rare in todays liner industry.
The fleet has been largely built up by an astute strategy of second-hand purchases, the bargaining prices enabling MSC to operate profitably at rate levels which its establishment rivals would once never have envisaged. I do still remember the aftermath of the purchase of the MSC Jade, previously a SAF Marine ship. She had been considered by her Hull underwriters as a constructive total loss because of un-repairable problems and damages to the engine. She was sold for scrap to breakers and purchased by MSC from the breakers brokers. MSC took delivery outside of Singapore and steamed at full speed into Durban harbour. There were many red faces in South Africa. Many of the former owners of MSCs still perfectly adequate ships have looked on in dismay as it has extended its liner service network to almost every corner of the world map.
It has been an interesting and instructive to watch the changing fortunes of liner companies, and MSCs own role in the changing liner shipping environment. Some of the former owners of MSC ships have now withdrawn from the industry, and its fierce rivals in the shipping establishment have grudgingly accepted its presence and acknowledged its status as a fearsome competitor, in several cases swallowing their pride and forging vessel-sharing partnerships with the upstart.
MSC has added a twist to the tale. Its bold entry to the Europe/Far East trade was actually accompanied by its first new buildings, the 3300 TEU MSC ALEXA and MSC Rafaela, a third large ship, the MSC Don Giovanni, was bought mew from a German shipyard during 1996. The companys geographic expansion continued apace in the course of the year. Besides de Europe/Far East service - which includes links to the Middle East Gulf, India and Pakistan via Jebel Ali and Colombo - new routes between the Mediterranean and West Africa, and between South/East Africa and the Middle East Gulf/South Asia were added. The latter route also connects South/east Africa with the Far East via transhipment in Colombo, an example of the interaction of MSCs many separate links. The Mediterranean becomes a key transfer area, and services within the Mediterranean, Adriatic and into the Black Sea and Read Sea were all built up considerably during 1996.
Several ports play a significant rôle as transhipment hubs in the MSC network, and among them is Felixstowe, where the Medite Shipping Co. (UK) Ltd. welcomes on average one MSC mainline ship per day. Not surprisingly, MSC is actually the Port of Felixstowes largest customer, with around 250000 boxes handled in 1996.
Credit for this achievement, and for the popularity of MSC, must be given to all the staff of MSC.
"Land covers 1/3 of the earth - we cover the rest".
This message scrolls across the Mediterranean Shipping Company's website. It is no idle boast. The Mediterranean Shipping Company, commonly known as MSC, is the second largest container shipping company in the world with a fleet numbering about 140 vessels having a total slot capacity of around 650,000 TEU's. In 2002 MSC carried the equivalent of 4.8 million twenty-foot containers through 274 ports, ranging from Helsinki in the north to Bluff in New Zealand.
It is all a long way from 1970 when Italian Gianluigi Aponte founded the company in Geneva, with a borrowed capital of $5'000 and a small cargo ship. The ship was the "PATRICIA", a fifteen-year old former German vessel of 1,750 gross tons, joined the following year by the slightly older "RAFAELA" of 2,696 tons, also formerly under the German flag. Both were registered in the name of Mediterranean Shipping Company, of Monrovia, Liberia. With these two conventional cargo ships MSC began a "Liner" service between the Mediterranean and Somalia in 1971. As the fleet expanded so the routes extended, to Northern Europe, South Africa and the Red Sea in 1977 and into the Indian Ocean the following year.
Expansion was entirely through the judicious purchase of second hand ships, initially multi-purpose vessels, but increasingly purpose built Container ships as these became available. The highly competitive North Atlantic Container trade was entered in 1985 with the introduction of services from Europe to the East Coast of the United States. In 1989 a service between South Africa and Australia began. At first this operated at three-weekly intervals but was soon brought into line with the weekly frequency of most other MSC services. This service was subsequently extended to Europe and every week an MSC vessel sails on the direct Europe - Australia service, via South Africa. By utilising strategically located hub ports throughout the world all the MSC services interlink, giving those shipping with MSC access to destinations world-wide. With the company's container network expanding rapidly, in 1989 MSC turned its attention to the cruising industry by purchasing Lauro Lines. Lauro marketed their services under the style Starlauro Cruise hut the name was changed to Mediterranean Shipping Cruises in 1995. Finding the capacity of the three existing Starlauro ships inadequate for the potential clientele Mediterranean Shipping Cruises currently has new cruise ships on order. Cruising is now a focus for the company's future expansion.
After building up the container fleet with second-hand purchases MSC ordered its first new ships in 1994. Built by the Italian Fincantieri yard the "MSC ALEXA" was delivered in 1996 to become the first new-building in the MSC fleet. Currently 15 ships of 6,730 TEU each are on order. Five of these, worth some $600 million, will be owned by MSC and five chartered in. These container ships will be among the largest afloat and it is expected that they will be deployed on the service between Europe and the Far East.
Last year MSC was voted the Shipping Line of the Year in a British poll Headquartered in Geneva. Switzerland, the founder of this still privately owned company Gianluigi Aponte remains in control as the President of MSC leading a comparatively small team in Geneva of just 200 people. Elsewhere 450 offices look after the company's interests.

2011 news
This Night
Alan's evocative carol, based on an old Celtic text received two wonderful perfomances in early December by The Chapel Choir of Selwyn College, Cambridge, directed by Sarah MacDonald, at their service of Nine Lessons and Carols . It formed the last choir carol before the Ninth Lesson, creating an atmosphere of rich calm and devotion in the candlelight.
There is no Rose
Alan recently set these traditional words for 5-part choir for The Marenzio Singers - they gave it a very succesful first performance at a 'Darkness to Light' Advent service at Great Wenham Church on 27 November. The Chapel Choir of Selwyn College sung it at Lamberhurst Parish Church on December 10th and it will be published by OUP in 2012.
Dance of the Universe
This large-scale piece for choir and orchestra, first performed in 1980 by the Colchester Choral Society, director Ian Ray, was performed again by the same performers on Saturday 19th November at St Botolph's Church Colchester, with the excellent tenor soloist Tom Raskin.

Shortly to be published by Colne Edition, the eight movements comprise tales of travel, in our imagination and in reality: mysterious travellers from unknown lands, journeys by train, by sea, and on horse-back, and visions of the future. Combining poems of the past with poems by today's young people, the music of this accessible cantata is designed to appeal to all choirs and their audiences.

Britten Sinfonia/Colchester Borough Council project
Alan Bullard's new piece for this project,
Hollytrees - at home with Mr and Mrs Round
, recieved eight excellent performances over this weekend in Hollytrees Museum, as well as a performance at Colchester Arts Centre on the Saturday evening. The performer was Sarah Burnett, principal bassoonist of the Britten Sinfonia.
Hollytrees is a spacious Georgian town house in the centre of Colchester, overlooking Castle Park at the back and the High Street at the front. Now a museum of life in the town, it was the home of the Round family for most of the nineteenth century.
The piece is interactive, and each performance is slightly different, as the performer responds to the entry and exit of the visitors to the house with phrases of greeting in which the music suggests `Welcome to Hollytrees' and `Very pleased to have met you'. Furthermore, all the music, and the shape of the piece, derives from the words `Round' and `Hollytrees'. At busy times of day, the performance was quite long!

Gran Turismo's a "sterile, almost car collecting type of product," says EA's Soderlund
EA's senior VP Patrick Soderlund is of the belief the Shift franchise can "absolutely beat" Sony's Gran Turismo series due to the former's "authentic driving experience".
Speaking in and interview with CVG, Soderlund believes Shift and Gran Turismo will share audiences to "some extent", but there's also folk who will only buy one or the other.
"If you look at the differences between the current games we have on the market, obviously Hot Pursuit and Gran Turismo, there is a big difference in those two products and they will share audiences to some extent," he said. "But at the same time I would think that they also have non-overlapping significant audience that won't buy Gran Turismo but will buy Need For Speed and obviously vice versa."
"But if you compare Shift and Gran Turismo, I actually do see Shift as a direct competitor to Gran Turismo for sure. Honestly, my take on this. Would I want to compete with Gran Turismo on sheer scale – meaning number of cars and the depth that they have in the game? Probably not. What does make sense to me… I think they have a very sterile, almost car collecting type of product where that's mainly what we do and I think we can offer something different.
"Our idea is that if we can offer the most authentic driving experience and portray what it feels like being inside a race car, then I think that's where we can excel and where we absolutely will beat them. That I know for sure."
Need for Speed Shift 2: Unleashed was announced last week and Gran Turismo 5 is out tomorrow, after what seem like ages.

Crane holds off Pecos' comeback attempt
By JON FULBRIGHT
Crane jumped out to a 10-point lead after one quarter and led by as many as 16 points early in the second half before the Eagles got hot from outside. They cut the margin to 59-55 entering the final period, but saw their 3-point shots stopped falling after that, while the Cranes were able to use the inside scoring on Jamin Phipps to pull away for a 77-69 victory at the Pecos High School gym.
Phipps scored 31 points, while Tino Aranda and Donnie Bishop each had a pair of key baskets down the stretch, after a free throw by Omar Hinojos cut the margin to 63-60 with 5:05 to play. But Hinojos and Hector Garcia each missed a foul shot after that, and Bishop then nailed a side jumper and Aranda scored off a Crane steal.
"We need to make our little easy lay-ups and free shots. We didn't make out lay ups and free shots when we had them," said Eagles' coach Mike Sadler.
The Eagles also had problems with turnovers in the first 1½ quarters, when Crane built its big lead. Pecos failed to step up to take passes several times while trying to break the press, allowing the Cranes to step in front and come up with steals. Scott Rives had two like that at the end of the first period and at the start of the second, while Phipps scored off a steal and length-of-the-court drive to make it 25-13.
"We're not in shape, and that's my fault," Sadler said of the Cranes early game work. "My job is to get them in shape."
Sadler got angry enough with his starters to yank them all with 2:36 left in the half and put in his reserved. That came with the Eagles trailing by 14 and thanks to Mark Marquez' four points, the subs outscored Crane's starters 4-2 the rest of the half.
Pecos' starters were back in to start the third quarter, and just as they did in the third period against Monahans, the Eagles exploded from 3-point range. After a Gary Lewis 3-pointer made it 48-33, Pecos his five 3s in the final 3:14 of the quarter. Jacob Chavez had four of the Eagles' six overall in the period, while Omar Hinojos put in eight points from inside, as part of a 32-point quarter.
Crane would widen the margin back to eight before the Eagles made their final run, but in the closing minutes the turnovers returned, giving the Cranes six easy points and allowing them to regain their 10-point lead.
Chavez finished with 22 points for the second straight game, and Hinojos led the Eagles with 24. Ben Shenkman was the other Crane player in double figures, with 11 points.
"The second team came in and did a good job. Mark did a good job for us when he was in there," said Sadler, though he added the Eagles are hurting without starting forward Fabien Adame, one of three Eagles to miss his second straight game due to injury.
"We miss Fabien big time offensively. He'll give us a little more scoring punch," said Sadler, who was hoping the senior would be in the lineup tonight, when Pecos hosts Alpine in a 7:30 p.m. game. "We need to fit him for a mask, and he still has a little bit of vision loss," from the eye injury he suffered earlier this month, the Eagles' coach said.
Friday's game was the only one played between the Eagles and Cranes. Today, play will begin about 4:15 p.m. with the freshman game, followed by the junior varsity contest at 6 p.m., both in the old gym.
Eagles' offense stalls out after fast takeoff
By JON FULBRIGHT
Stanton's Randi Simer, meanwhile, found her range when it counted, hitting a pair of baskets in the final 20 seconds, including a 15-footer with two seconds left, to give the Buffs a 42-40 victory over the Eagles at the Pecos High School gym.
The Eagles were able to use baskets off turnovers to jump out to a 15-8 lead after one period, and led 19-8 with under three minutes to go in the half. But they were never able to come up with another good run against Stanton, which cut the lead to eight at the half, narrowed it to as little as two in the third period, then took as much as a four point lead in the final period before Pecos rallied.
"I was disappointed we didn't win, but I was just pleased with the effort we put forth," said Eagles' coach Brian Williams, whose team will get another chance to win their first game of the season this evening, when Pecos hosts Alpine in a 6 p.m. game.
"We missed around 16 points off missed lay-ups," Williams said. "We're still trying to learn what to do out there, but we did a good job coming back to tie the game."
Down 38-36, the Eagles had a couple of chances to tie in the closing minute, before Lori Marquez hit a rebound land jumper with 32 seconds to go. Simer came right back and sank a foul line jumper to make it 40-38 with 19 seconds left, but Penny Armstrong was fouled by Ronnie Hull with 12.5 second to go and hit both free throws, tying the game.
That gave the Buffs one last shot, and they took advantage, as Simer found an opening just in front of the foul line and to the right of the basket, and nailed the shot as the clock ran down.
"Lori and Penny just got a little mixed up on rotating out on that play," said Williams, who was still happy overall with the Eagles' defensive effort.
"We were one step away on a couple of passes. They just have to get to know my press a little better," he said.
The Eagles took the lead early, on a rebound lay-up by Shea Lara that began an 11-0 run, turning a 2-2 tie into a 13-2 lead. Marisol Arenivas had a 3-pointer to finish the streak, as well as assists to Armstrong and Marquez. Pecos began the second period with another Marquez basket, but it turned out to be the only one of the period for the Eagles, though the Buffs didn't fare any better.
However, as a omen of things to come both Julie Adams in the first period and Hull in the second closed the quarter with buzzer-beating baskets. Adams would also play a key role in Stanton's fourth period rally, as both she and teammate Joanna Moore rebound teammates' missed foul shots and scored, with Adams' put back giving the Buffs their first lead of the night, at 32-30.
Williams had only eight players on the varsity again Saturday, which hurt down the stretch, when both Arenivas and Marquez got into foul trouble.
"Until we get our depth built up, I'm going to try and pace them," said Williams, who hopes to add at least two more players to the varsity squad by the time district play begins. "With Lori, I'm trying to take her out the least two minutes of the first three quarters and the first minute of the second and fourth to give her some rest."
Armstrong wound up leading the Eagles in scoring with 12, while Marquez had 11 for Pecos, which is 0-2 on the season. Adams and Simer each had 10 points for the Buffaloes.
Stanton also won Saturday's junior varsity game, 42-38. Katrina Quiroz led the Eagles' JV with 14. Williams said Alpine wouldn't have a freshman team today, so play will start with the JV contest at 4:30 p.m.
Swim teams take 3rd, 8th in Monahans
PECOS, Nov. 24 -- Having the Midland swim teams around meant one lower spot in the final standings for the Pecos Eagle boys swim team on Saturday in Monahans, while the girls saw a big difference from a week earlier in Pecos.
Pecos' boys, who placed second to Big Spring in their own meet on Nov. 15, were third Saturday behind the Midland High Bulldogs and Big Spring. The girls, who won the Pecos Invitational without placing first in a single event, saw their depth advantage nullified by the addition of the two Midland squads and several other schools, and wound up eighth in the 14 team field.
Midland High, which canceled out of last week's meet due to icy roads, won both divisions, taking the girls title with 239 points to 184 for Midland Lee and 136 for Big Spring. Pecos ended up with 93 points on the day. Midland High's boys won by a 181-169 total over Big Spring, while the Eagles beat out Carlsbad for third by a 140-139½ margin.
"(Midland) had some pretty fast girls, and also Carlsbad and Hobbs had some pretty good swimmers," said Eagles' coach Terri Morse. "Plus, some of my girls didn't swim the same events they did a week ago. I think because of that they didn't place as high as they would have if they swam their normal events."
The girls' best finishes on the day was a fourth place effort by the 200 yard freestyle relay team of Liz Parent, Megan Freeman, Sarah Flores and Dionnie Munoz. Later, Parent, Freeman, Randi Key and Munoz were fifth in the 400 freestyle relay.
Individually for the girls, Parent had a pair of finishes in the top 10, placing seventh in the 200 medley and 500 freestyle, while Freeman was sixth in the 50 free and 10th in the 100 breaststroke. Key was seventh in the 200 free and eighth in the 100 backstroke; Munoz was eighth in the 50 free and ninth in the 500; and Flores was sixth in the 100 breaststroke.
The boys were still not at full strength Saturday, but Morse said it probably wouldn't have affected the final point standings. "We didn't have Grant (Holland), which would have made a difference in the couple of relays, but we still would have placed about the same as we did. Perhaps a couple of relays or individual events would have gotten a few more points."
The Eagles' lone gold medal of the day came in the 200 medley relay, where Kenneth Friar, Al Tillman, Matt Ivy and Kevin Bates swam a 1:47.17 to beat out Big Spring by .28 seconds. The Steers would later edge the Eagles for second in the 400 freestyle relay behind Midland High.
Bates lost out by .06 seconds to Lee's Gregg Strauss for first in the 100 freestyle, and later placed second in the 100 backstroke. Friar also picked up a medal for third in the 100 butterfly and was sixth in the 200 medley. Other top 10 finishes for Pecos came from Ivy, fourth in the 200 free and fifth in the 100 back, Tillman, seventh in the 100 breaststroke, and Scott Pounds, who was fourth in Friday's one-meter diving competition.
The Eagles have this week off for the Thanksgiving holiday, and return to action on Dec. 5-6 at the Odessa Invitational.
Packers dump Cowboys into second half cooler
By ARNIE STAPLETON
Behind Dorsey Levens' running and Brett Favre's passing, the defending Super Bowl champs bounced back from an embarrassing loss at Indianapolis to rout Dallas 45-17 on a frigid Sunday at Lambeau Field.
``It's good to finally get that out of our system,'' defensive tackle Santana Dotson said after the Packers beat the Cowboys for the first time in eight tries. ``Now we've got another ghost to exorcise.''
That would be winning at Minneapolis.
``I've exorcised one demon. Next week, I'll have another,'' said coach Mike Holmgren, winless in five trips to the Metrodome.
``Here we go again,'' Favre said after the Packers moved a game ahead of Minnesota and Tampa Bay in the NFC Central. ``We haven't beaten Minnesota in Minnesota. The Vikings are just as good as Dallas, if not better. So, we have our hands full again.''
But the trip to their personal House of Horrors will be easier to take for the Packers (9-3) now that they've beaten their tormentors, whom they'd lost to seven straight times by double digits at Texas Stadium.
The Packers promised it would be different at home, where they've won 25 in a row.
And they delivered, handing the Cowboys their worst defeat in eight seasons on the strength of a 35-7 second half fueled by 145 of Levens' franchise-record 190 yards.
``It feels like I thought it would,'' Favre said. ``It's great to finally beat these guys. It's a shame it took so long. But we finally did it.''
Now, the Cowboys (6-6), losers of six straight on the road, might have to win their remaining four games, beginning Thanksgiving Day with Tennessee, to keep alive their streak of six straight playoff appearances.
``I would love to sit up here and say we can run the table, but I don't know,'' Dallas receiver Michael Irvin said. ``I'd be lying if I told you that.''
This kind of drubbing can create that kind of doubt.
The Cowboys hadn't surrendered this many points in 12 years and hadn't lost by four touchdowns since the 1989 opener in Jimmy Johnson's first game as coach.
``I can't remember a loss like this,'' Emmitt Smith said.
``The last time I took a beating like this was from my father,'' Irvin said.
The afternoon was sweetened for Green Bay when the Bucs got beat by Chicago and the Vikings lost to the New York Jets.
``We didn't know the Jets and Chicago were going to do that and we didn't really care,'' Packers safety LeRoy Butler said. ``We just knew that if we beat a team of Dallas' caliber that it would give us the momentum.''
Green Bay's domination of their nemesis came on the heels of the most embarrassing loss of the Holmgren era, when the Packers surrendered nearly 500 yards to the lowly Indianapolis Colts, who had been winless.
``Indianapolis took a lot of wind out of our sails,'' Butler said. ``But we're sailing again, and it's wonderful.''
On Sunday, the Packers allowed Dallas only 213 yards, and the defense chipped in with a touchdown of its own -- a 34-yard fumble return by Darren Sharper.
``That's football,'' Holmgren said. ``It's kind of like the Bermuda Triangle. Some things you just can't explain.''
The Cowboys' fading playoff hopes are in danger of vanishing themselves.
``I think we'll have their attention this week,'' Cowboys coach Barry Switzer said. ``The guys we have will respond. They're a good group. But they never expected what happened today. Because, I promise you, I damn sure didn't expect it.''
Favre threw four touchdowns passes and the Cowboys had trouble operating in minus-4 wind chill. Green Bay broke a 10-10 halftime tie by scoring every time it touched the ball after intermission.
``I witnessed in the second half probably the best kicking the Cowboys have had in a long time,'' Switzer said. ``We were totally dominated.''
The Packers savored this victory more than any since the Super Bowl.
``I have a vivid memory of last year after they beat us -- Reggie White pointed at the sideline and said, `Come to Lambeau, come to Lambeau,''' said Levens, who broke Jim Taylor's 36-year-old single-game record of 186 yards.
``It's emotional for all the guys who went through all those losses to beat them the way we did,'' Butler said.
Favre's 4- and 2-yard TD throws to tight end Mark Chmura came in a third quarter in which Dallas ran just three offensive plays and had the ball for just 1 minute, 44 seconds, making it moot that White and Gilbert Brown were ailing for Green Bay.
The Cowboys got just one offensive TD, Smith's 21-yard run. Deion Sanders' 50-yard pass interception gave Dallas a 10-7 lead before the Packers scored the next five times they got the ball.
``It was the only bad throw he made all game,'' Sanders said.

Coding For Kids At Code Camp
Can A Child Code With A Learning Disability? Of Course They Can!
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Code Camp. They were awesome enough to offer one of my kids to go along to a 3 Day Coding workshop in Carindale, South Brisbane. I offered to review and post the feedback on Australian Mum and my readers – Thats you right now! – might be interested.
What Is Code Camp?
Code Camp is a 3 – 5 Day workshop where your child will learn the basics of coding. By the time the camp ends they will finish an APP which can then run on their iPad. Anyone with the shareable URL can play it. If your child plays games like Flappy bird and is intrigued on how they are made, CODE CLASS!
I sent our mini resident reviewer, Ryan, along. Since he is fairly tech obsessed I figured it was the suitable choice. Deep in my gut however I always get terrible anxiety over my son going to things that require sitting , learning and remembering things.
I'll explain why in short. Ryan has a brain injury. Ryan has endured cancer treatment on a tumour , surgery, trauma and stress in such a short life. This has caused damage to his working memory and his confidence is a little shattered as he now lives with facial paralysis.
Working memory is vital in problem solving and remembering steps when dealing with math, number sequences and of course – coding. I worried for him, but I wanted him to have the opportunity to go after all, this is why I started Australian Mum. So my family could experience things and tell you about them.
On the first day of code camp I sat by my phone, I kept checking it constantly worried I had missed a phone call that he needed to come home. When I picked Ryan up I asked the Code Camp instructor if he had stayed calm for them. She said he had a couple of stressful moments but they were able to manage him well.
When you have a special needs child and you hear those words, that instructor is literally your hero for the rest of the afternoon. They recognised his difficulties, persevered and he had a good day. So I thank them for this and I'm proud to say they clearly are an accepting group of people.
Mentally Ryan was drained on the first day and didn't want to talk about the Code Camp on the way home. Ryan is like an onion, it takes a while to peel back the layers. By the time dinner came he was talking all about the things he did with his sisters. He spoke very proudly of the different actions he had chosen and the way his game was coming together.
Can A Child Code With A Learning Disability? I Say YES.
He also came home with a code camp hat which I'm really impressed with the Quality and a code camp shirt. It's nice to see all of the kids in the same shirt, they are all in the same camp so to speak.
By the time Day 3 Of Code Camp came around Ryan was very excited and enthusiastic about the game he had created. When your child completes Code Camp they "Graduate" and receive a Code Camp medal which really reinforces that sense of achievement.
Once they graduate you, the parent, are sent an email with a link to there complete game. I was able to play my sons game when we arrived home. I needed his help with instructions as he is the one that created everything – I did not even know the controls. This was a great way to spend some time together and allow him to teach me a thing or two!
You can have a look HERE at his game, Z is to shoot but be warned, its very tricky and only he knows how to get to the end. I still haven't mastered it!
Code Camp Isn't All Work & No Play
The kids at code camp get both lunch and recess. This allows them to let of some steam and socialise with each other. The camp runs from 9 – 3.30pm and the location Ryan attended was very nice and easy to find.
Code Camp is for any child. The classes range from Grade K – 7 however for older children you can still enquire about joining the Code Camp with a higher level of learning. Code Camp is held in SO many locations and growing all of the time, you can suggest a location if they currently don't service your area.
I would recommend Code Camp to any parent, especially if your child has an interest in tech. You do NOT have to be talented academically to go to Code Camp, all children with various strengths can benefit from learning basic code.
Don't be concerned about what will happen if your child becomes bored or won't enjoy the coding experience. The Code Camp staff were fantastic with Ryan who has a tendency to become bored, even in the most exciting circumstances. He also suffers from mental fatigue and the Code Camp team were very understanding and got him through those three days without needing to call me at all.
How To Enrol In Code Camp
To find your nearest Code Camp visit the website. You can book from there and will be asked a few questions about your child in order to make their experience the best possible. All you need for Code Camp is a Lunchbox, Drink bottle and a Hat (and sunscreen). Everything else is taken care of.
Thank You to the team at Code Camp! You ended my sons year on a very high note.

Red Shirts leader Datuk Jamal Md Yunos accused Bersih 2.0 today of assaulting their own supporter in Sabak Bernam and media personnel in Kuala Selangor.
News portal Malaysiakini reported Jamal as claiming that the attacker in Sabak Bernam who kicked a Bersih supporter on a motorbike had impersonated the Red Shirts by wearing a scarlet T-shirt.
"I wish to state that the violence and provocation before this is by Bersih.
"The motorcyclist in yellow who was kicked from the back, (the attacker) was hired by Bersih, to wear the same T-shirt that we wear," Jamal was quoted saying after a counter-rally against the Bersih convoy in Kapar.
Jamal, who is also an Umno division chief, reportedly said the polls reform group was also behind the assault against journalists covering the Bersih convoy outside a hypermarket in Kuala Selangor last Saturday.
The police are investigating the attack under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation and had arrested three suspects.

Rock star and soap actor–turned-author Springfield (Late, Late at Night, 2010) debuts with fiction best classified as black comedy.
This novel is remarkably creative, for no other reason than Springfield boggles with countless euphemisms for male reproductive organs, masturbation and the act of sexual procreation. Sex, comedy and metaphysics pose a conundrum: Who listens when God speaks? Bobby Cotton for one—hapless nerd, Los Angeles sound editor, recently divorced cuckold. Next it's Alice Young, reluctant religious novitiate, and, finally, Lexington Vargas, prominent Mexican doctor's son and now redeemed gangster. Bobby's life has been an "obsession with the female species and the whole, odd tie to organized religion." Shuttled aside by quarreling parents, Bobby deeply loved his sister, lost first to mental illness and then cancer, the narrative element most emotionally affecting. Fumbling about after his divorce, Bobby steals a self-help book called Magnificent Vibration. Inside is a penciled note: "1-800-Call-God." Bobby dials and becomes convinced he's speaking to God, who in fact prefers to be called Omnipotent Supreme Being but will settle for Arthur. OSB has "a rather incongruous and off-putting sense of humor," which means Bobby complies when told to get a cup of coffee. There, he meets Alice and then Lexington. Both have a copy of the book, and inside each copy is the same telephone number. While Lexington seems flat and present mainly as a plot catalyst, Springfield can write believable characters, his best being Bobby and Alice. The narrative bounces from the present to Bobby's examination of his life and then to conversations with God, who is upset with war and pollution in the universe, all ending in Scotland with Alice, the reluctant nun. Springfield delivers a buckle-your-seat-belts ride, referencing the Loch Ness monster, superheroes, schlock films, Christian fundamentalism, sexual repression, the Pacific garbage patch and existentialist fatalism.
A readable comic meditation on human frailty.

He must be released for a little while.
But the one who sees doesn't believe.
But the one who sees doesn't believe.
From the back cover:
Elijah Goldsmith has nightmares he needs to ignore. Why would a rich kid from
Manhattan dream three straight nights about a dragon and the destruction of
St. Peter's Basilica? He's never even been to Rome.
It's bad timing, too. He's graduating soon and applying to be a spy in the
International Security Agency. That's where he meets Naomi. She's the
kind of girl who makes boys like Elijah want to share their secrets. Were
they brought together to learn what his secrets mean? There's more to
their sparks than they think.
This is 2066. The year the world ends.
In short, Unbound tells the story of a rich kid from Manhattan who starts
having really strange dreams about dragons. Ha! Intriguing enough?
Well, as it turns out, this kid isn't much for religion, until he meets a
pretty Christian gal. Together they globe-trot, play with lots of high
tech gadgets and try to figure out what the dragon in the dream really
means. A great apocalyptic thriller!
I couldn't put this book down, and can't wait for the next in the trilogy!
I received this book free-of-charge for review purposes.
The opinions expressed are my own.

New Delhi, July 1: It looks like Modi government's cup of woes will not get over anytime soon. Already on the back-foot over alleged collusion of its ministers in Lalitgate controversy, this is yet another trouble for the BJP government.
Reports say that Army veterans are now planning to take their fight of one rank one pension war to another level. Peeved over the way the government is dilly-dallying the scheme, ex-servicemen have chalked out some other alternative plans for the same.
These veterans believe that since government doesn't look in the mood to give specific date to implement the pension scheme, we have to resort new tactics to make government oblige us.
What are they planning?
According to a ET report, United Front of ex-servicemen, a conglomerate of all veterans' has decided to hold protest in front of the house of the parliamentarians
It has also been decided that various teams of these veterans will be formed.
These teams will visit election-bound states and discourage potential voters to vote against Modi government.
Another step is, people will be made aware about the scheme and veteran's genuine demand.
Lastly, if nothing will work then war widows will send letters in blood to President along with their bangles.
Sources says these widows may begin a fast unto death if government remains adamant on its position.
Reactions of Army veterans
On asking about the move, spokesperson of the Indian Exservicemen Movement Colonel (retd) Devinder Bahl was quoted by the newspaper as saying, "The government is not realising the demoralising effect that its ignorance is causing on servicemen across the country".
Indian ex-Servicemen Movement chairman Maj. Gen. Satbir Singh (retd) said, "We will go to Patna, and all other poll-bound states and scale up the agitation".
He further said, "What does it mean when reports say the government is planning to implement scheme before Bihar election? Do they think this will make us vote for them".
Hunger strike continues in different part of the country
Dismayed over the lackadaisical approach of the Government, these Army veterans have been protesting at the Delhi's Jantar Mantar since last month. Similar protest and hunger strike have been reported from pther parts of the country.
The grudge of the army personnels is that why government is not giving specific date for the scheme. Recently, many of the Modi ministers including Manohar Parrikar assured but didn't give time frame for the same.
"I assure you whatever we have promised that all would be done...but some people need to be patient," Parrikar had said

Abbey Vocational School Notes - 15.04.16
State Exams
The Junior Cert and Leaving Cert students continue with their oral and practical state exams this week. We wish all of our students well.
Evening Study
Evening study has commenced for the last term. If students still wish to avail of it they may do so by collecting a form at the school office.
We were honored to have Brian Mooney come to the school to speak to parents last Friday, 15th April to what was a very well attended talk.
Brain spoke on the implications of subject choices early in second level, the importance of Transition Year in developing a wide range of intelligences and competencies in 16 year olds. The perspective of a career as a life journey of discovery and not one off choice at Leaving Cert level. The nature of the options facing school leavers today and the nature of the world of work they will face during their working lives.
Students will travel to Lough Erne next Wednesday 20th April and will stay overnight while camping out. They will take part in a variety of outdoor adventure activities.
Our Transition Year Maths class are travelling to Lough Key Forest Park. They will take part in activities that will involve problem solving through maths. The main activity of the day will be the Boda Borg.
Transition Year
Foroige - Every Tuesday many of our students attend the Leadership Course. Some of these students helped with organising the Foroige Be Happy, Be Healthy. This course is near completion and students have found it to be an excellent series of workshops. Thanks to Kerri in foroige for supporting this course.
All Transition Year classes are presently composing a song for their showcase.
Each class will perform their piece on the night with students playing instruments and singing.
Lion King Workshops
The Transition Years are taking part in a Lion King workshop. In this workshop the students are creating the costumes for the local production of the Disney special The Lion King. In the recent weeks they have been planning the costumes, picking the materials and the colours and in the upcoming weeks they will begin creating the costumes and sets.
Ocean FM
On the 12th April our Transition Year students travelled to Ocean FM for their second week to make a mock-up of a Radio show. Each group of people held interviews with people from around the locality. They put together all the pieces into one large show. They then had to edit the whole show and remove all the filters. The show was then sent to the producer for the final edit. The students found this experience excellent.
On Monday our TY students will travel to the Abbey Arts Centre in Ballyshannon to watch their production of 'Scrooge' on the big screen. This musical took place earlier in the year and the show was a great success.
A youth day in Knock is being organised for the John Paul II award students on 26th April. Many TY students will attend on the day.
Mental Health Workshop
Foroige "Be Healthy, Be happy" - Our Transition Year students attended the Mental Health and Wellbeing day in the Abbey Hotel on Thursday 14th which was hosted by Foroige. Nikki Bradley, inspirational speaker spoke about her amazing story to over 250 teenagers from all around Donegal. Students received talks from Nutritionist, Blaithin Dooley, Jigsaw and Ryan O'Donnell. Everyone in attendance also took part in a fitness class with Teresa from the Energy Hub. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all our students.
Heritage Trail
A group of TY students are designing a heritage trail around Donegal Town, highlighting all the historical places around the town, for example the Old Abbey Graveyard, Famine Pots, Magees Factory, Harry Clarke Windows and many more. This group will be producing a booklet with all the information from each area and an activity to do at each area. Thank you to Caroline Timoney for leading out on this excellent project.
TY PE Trip
On Wednesday, 20th April TYs will paddle out to an island on Lough Erne where they will set up for the night. They will have a barbecue and activities on the island that evening and will also venture out on a night time paddle in large canoes before returning to a campfire for the night. The trip links in with the Gaisce challenge as they will paddle for 20kms over the two days. TY's are participating in surfing, self-defence, B fit and jiving as part of their PE activities.
Girls Active
As a reward for their handwork and commitment throughout the year, Girls active attended an activity day in Gartan. The girls participated in both indoor and outdoor activities, including rock climbing, orienteering and a night line. Due to the weather the girls returned much muddier than they arrived but a good time was had by all. Well done to all the girls.
Fun Run
Jim Breen visited the school last Tuesday 12th April in preparation for the Cycle Against Suicide which is taking place on the 29th April. He ran a 4km fun run with our Transition Year and 5th year students. He gave the students a very inspirational talk about his journey.
