Harlan Howard
Harlan Howard
Country music's preeminent composer, Harlan Howard boasted an unparalleled body of work encompassing well over 4,000 songs; the writer behind such perennials as "I Fall to Pieces," "Life Turned Her That Way," and "Heartaches by the Number," he scored major chart hits during every decade of the postwar era. Born September 8, 1929, in Lexington, KY, Howard and his family moved to Detroit just two years later. A devoted fan of the Grand Ole Opry radio show, his idol was the great Ernest Tubb, whose songs Howard attempted to copy down lyric by lyric; a number of words were subsequently lost in the translation, of course, forcing him to invent new lines -- sometimes even entire verses -- and in the process an aspiring songwriter was born. After graduating high school, Howard spent the next four years stationed in Fort Benning, GA, serving as a military paratrooper; in his off hours, he learned to play guitar, and each Friday night he and a friend would hitchhike to Nashville, spending the weekends soaking up live country music.

You wouldn't think a major city so close to some of the world's greatest vineyards would be lacking for lounges, and lounges in San Francisco would agree that's a ridiculous thing to think. Much like its mélange of people, the SF lounge scene is a crazy quilt of mixology and meat market, dirty dive and diamond-coated divan.
An eclectic creative crowd heads to the DJ and art lounges in SoMa, often steps away from trendy yuppies chilling at the new wine lounges that keep popping up in this formerly industrial part of town, while cocktail buffs know The Mission is always a good spot to drop in on someone who can make a proper martini – second only perhaps to The Tenderloin in this respect.
The Marina is well-known as the location of the preppier party in the city, and SF lounges in the Marina certainly don't buck that trend, although that doesn't mean the dapper clientele doesn't get just as rowdy at the bars and clubs after they leave the chichi Marina lounges.
Gay lounges, of course, are easy to find in the welcoming arms of The Castro, which tends to be a chill neighborhood that everyone can enjoy, while Downtown San Francisco lounges are an easy choice for anyone looking to hook up with a successful young professional. No matter the neighborhood, lounges in SF are liberally spread all over town.

Pakistan hit by claim that army agreed to Nato strike
Tensions rise as US plans new wave of cross-border raids on Afghan militants
Pakistan's army was on the defensive yesterday, trying to explain why its air force had not reacted to the killing of 24 troops by Nato as it was confronted with a version of events from US officials that starkly differed from the one it has presented.
The Nato air strikes on 26 November have provoked a crisis between Washington and Islamabad. The Pakistanis have already decided to block Nato's supply routes through the country, to order the CIA to evacuate an airbase and to boycott this week's Bonn conference on regional security.
In a further development yesterday, it was reported that Nato is planning a substantial offensive against militants in eastern Afghanistan. The increase in aggression is likely to stoke tensions between Nato and Pakistan, with cross-border raids into the country and an increase in the use of drones and other air power expected as part of the campaign.
Nato is believed to be targeting several Pakistan-based groups, which have gradually increased their activities in Afghanistan, in an effort to contain them before the handover to Afghan security forces in 2014. Nato and the US have expressed their condolences for the lives lost in last Saturday's attack, but have resisted offering an apology as they wait for the outcome of an investigation.
Some details of the US's own account have leaked out. The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that a Pakistani liaison officer at one of the border coordination centres the two sides use to track their efforts jointly gave Nato the all-clear to mount the air strike.
The Pakistani officer, the newspaper reported, was apparently unaware that his own troops were located at the target. If true, the claim alters the Pakistani narrative which alleges that it was an "unprovoked act of blatant aggression".
In a statement, the Pakistan army pushed back against the report, saying that it "categorically" denies this version of events. "Wrong information about the area of operation was provided to Pakistan officials a few minutes before the strike," the statement said. "Without getting clearance from Pakistan side, the post had already been engaged by US helicopters and fighter jets," it continued. The involvement of fighter jets is disputed. At a briefing, the Pakistan army's director general of military operations, Major-General Nadeem Ishfaq, said that there were up to three Nato helicopters involved in the air strikes.
It is unclear where the initial burst of fire – which Nato says was from the Pakistani side of the border – came from. US officials told The Wall Street Journal that Afghan forces and American commandos were pursuing Taliban militants when they came under fire from an "encampment along the Afghan-Pakistan border".
The Pakistanis say that they were told of the incident before the air strikes, but deny that any fire emanated from their side. According to their account, the incident only came to an end after Major-General Ishfaq told a Nato commander to pull back the helicopters. It is, however, a mystery why the Pakistanis did not call in their own air force during what was claimed to be a two-hour assault. Similar questions were asked after the 2 May raid that killed Osama bin Laden, when Pakistan said it "scrambled the jets" but was not able to reach what they considered to be helicopters violating their sovereignty.
Meanwhile, Scotland Yard said yesterday that 22 people were arrested outside the US embassy in London during a protest over use of drones in Pakistan organised by a group calling itself United Ummah.
Police said the people were arrested on suspicion of being members of a group banned by the Home Office. It would not say what group it believed the suspects belong to. One person was arrested for violent disorder and another for obstruction. United Ummah does not appear on the Home Office's list of banned groups, but proscribed organisations have rebranded themselves after they were featured.

Spear-phishing attacks on energy companies are becoming increasingly sophisticated, an expert has warned – and all it takes is one lucky strike to cause devastating damage to the power grid, or to companies which supply oil and gas.
A new cyber defense force is being set up in the UK to protect critical private and government computer networks from attack – "if necessary, to strike in cyberspace," Britain's Defense Secretary Philip Hammond has said.
Spear-phishing is creating a new era of cybercrime, according to Chris Dixon, a partner at venture capital firm Andreesen Horowitz – and in terms of its threat to enterprise, it's comparable to a "super strain of bacteria."
One day, your smartphone might "recognise" you by the way you walk, the way your fingers tap on a touchscreen – or even simply where you go during the day. Habits such as your walk can be as distinctive as a fingerprint, researchers claim.
Small businesses will be able to buy "cyber assurance" packages to protect against possible losses from cyber attacks – with a British insurance firm offering packages starting at £500 ($800).
An "identity theft service" which specialises in selling personal details gained access to some of the biggest consumer data firms, including Lexis Nexis and Kroll – and has had access to their computer systems "for months". Stars such as Beyonce (pictured) had personal details leaked.
There is a new bot on the block. ESET identifies it as Win32/Napolar while its author calls it solarbot. This piece of malware came to our attention mid-August because of its interesting anti-debugging and code injection techniques.
Yahoo! recently began recycling "inactive" user accounts, in an effort to woo new customers – but some customers who have acquired these "second-hand" email addresses say they are receiving a "bonus" of personal information relating to the old owners.

Startup NEXT comes to Jacksonville
- Carole Hawkins
- Reporter- Jacksonville Business Journal
- Email | Google+ | Twitter
Aspiring entrepreneurs who brainstormed creative and clever business ideas at Jacksonville's Startup Weekend may have wondered what came next.
Event founders are responding with Startup NEXT, a pre- business accelerator course to help re-engineer startup ideas to be more responsive to market needs.
Sponsored by iStart Jax, Startup NEXT will run from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturdays from Sept. 28 to Oct. 26 at the University of North Florida.
Kevin Riley, a program mentor who had worked as a healthcare innovator at Florida Blue, said Startup NEXT is designed to be an intermediate step, after Startup Weekend but before entrepreneurs enter a business accelerator - where they build a product and seek that first round of angel investor funding.
"The difference is Startup Weekend is for that early stage idea, to help people identify their business model," he said. "NEXT is saying, before you build your product, you need to recognize who your customer is and what they want from you. A lot of startups just build a product without finding that out."
Jacksonville joins 23 other cities in offering the first-time pre-accelerator program.
The program will use the Customer Development methodology pioneered by Steve Blank, a Silicon Valley serial-entrepreneur and academician whose ideas helped launch the Lean Startup movement.
The curriculum will cover:
- How to generate assumptions to validate about your assumed customer's wants/needs, motivations and behaviors
- How to find and reach out to people for interviews that match your assumed customer segments.
- How to define experiments that validate or invalidate assumptions you have about your business model.
Carole covers logistics and transportation, technology and manufacturing

Signing in Australia too risky for Bogut

08:09 AM ET 10.07 | Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut will not play for the Sydney Kings -- or any Australian team, reportedly due to insurance issues. Bogut had hoped to play for the Sydney team in the Australian national league (NBL). Two other teams -- Adelaide and Gold Coast -- also had expressed interest in signing Bogut. Bauman said Bogut needed coverage for the $39.5 million and three years remaining on the 7-foot center's contract with the Bucks. "If Andrew goes back with a broken leg or a broken ankle, the Bucks might say, 'Cancel the contract,'" Bauman said in a phone interview Thursday. "This is something players get, but the Bucks still might be in a position, given a new CBA (collective bargaining agreement), to terminate the deal. There was no way to resolve that type of issue. It was too much of a risk."
Word is Bogut will never be the same. He completely shattered that elbow. I guess only time will tell, but I am actually sure that this lockout for Bogut is perfect timing. He can just keep up the physical therapy, the training, and not miss any more games.

X-Men: Days of Future Past Trailer
The first trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past is here. If you happened to attend the San Diego Comic-Con last July (or caught the bootleg copies before Fox legal had YouTube yank em faster than Quicksilver), the footage here is nothing you haven't already seen minus the Inception score.
Not that that is a bad thing. It isn't. The footage adequately sets the tone for what to expect this Memorial Day weekend.

Beene There, Done That
Ruben Toledo, Isabel Toledo, Stephan Gan, Cecilia Dean, and James Kariliardos View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Despite warnings of a Gotham City blizzard, the Waldorf Astoria was buzzing last night for the 45th Annual YMA FSF Geoffrey Beene National Scholarship Awards Dinner hosted by Mary Alice Stephenson. The glitzy soiree honored over 100 scholarship-toting students along with Manny Chirico, Jeff Kantor, and Visionaire founders Cecilia Dean, Stephan Gan, and James Kariliardos. Dani Stahl, Annabel Tollman, Zanna Roberts, Glenda Bailey, Ruben and Isabel Toledo were all in attendance while a frazzled Diane von Furstenberg slipped in during dinner.
As guests sipped on the free-flowing bubbly in the cocktail room, our Lanvin-clad presenter worked the crowd and opened up about her personal involvement with the event. "I was in this exact same place that a lot of these kids were," Stephenson shared. "Growing up in middle America, in Michigan. No one in my family was into fashion. It was my dream, and I was obsessed. I want to do everything I can to support them." Zanna Roberts, in Michael Kors, had something else in mind. "I'm here for us. As an editor, I want to see the next new designers and help them grow." Glenda Bailey agreed. "I can't think of any better award winners for this particular award. I'm also here for Cecilia, Stephan, and James because they've done an exceptional job. We all feel totally inspired by Visionare. I think students look at them and are so inspired by what they contribute to this industry."
Filing into the grand dining hall for crispy orange chicken, baby bok choi with pickled ginger, and steamed shrimp dumplings,The Daily caught up with a smiling Ruben Toledo as Isabel posed for the flashing bulbs. What brings the Toledo twosome out tonight? Simply stated: "We loved Geoffrey Beene." Reminiscing about his old friend, Ruben said, "He was shy. Really funny. He's got a great sense of humor. He's a perfectionist. He's superstitious about everything. And I'm superstitious so we clicked on that right away. When I first met him, he said 'Oh, don't stand on this side of me! That's bad luck.' He was an amazing man. That's what creativity is about. American creativity is Mr. Beene."

Everybody loves Mario Kart, especially Sean Kingston!
Even though video games have become increasingly sophisticated over the years, there's still something about dusting off an old game like the original Super Mario Brothers and giving it a spin, even though it can apparently be conquered in five minutes if you do it right. What's even cooler is when someone takes a classic character and gives them a modern spin, like this updated version of the aforementioned princess saving adventure.
It seems that someone had a lot of time on their hands. Four months worth of time according to the video's YouTube description by seven Visual Effects and Concept Design students at England' Staffordshire University to be exact.
Yes. It's true. I'm a dork. I find pleasure in some of the most unusual things, like this video of a Super Mario Automaton.
As a fan of video games my whole life, anytime I see anything video game related, there's a good chance I'll stop long enough to take a look and see if it's something worth exploring further. That's how it started when I stumbled across the video 'Go Right' on Buzzfeed. It ended with something much deeper.
This morning on The Rob's Radio Show, Big Boy mentioned he had seen a trailer for a new Rock Band game that The Rob hadn't heard of. I told everyone I would get the trailer posted A.S.A.P. So here it is!
The Rob & I were talking this morning during The Rob's Radio Show about what we do in our spare time. I have been crazy busy planning a wedding that's taking place in 22 days!! (OMG!) Rob was telling me about how he's been busy catching up on the shows that he's DVR'd as well as trying to save the city of Gotham! I was lucky enough to stumble across a little piece of internet gold today when I found this video from ScreenTeamShow that parody's Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger... Ironicall
I've mentioned on this online blog and on the radio numerous times that I love pop culture and entertainment. I like a good story – no matter what the medium is. Movies, books, video games, music, it doesn't matter
Katy Perry loves 'The Sims,' the video game series in which users create their own characters and help them lead simulated lives. Perry and Electronic Arts announced a partnership today in which the singer will appear in multiple 'Sims' games, starting with 'The Sims 3: Showtime – Collector's Edition' in March.
Game Informer, one of the video game industry's leading magazines and websites, has compiled sales figures for all PlayStation, Wii, X-Box, and PC games from the year 2011. So for all of you video gamers out there, here are your top 10 selling video games for 2011:
I have never hidden from the fact that I am a HUGE video game fan. I was two years old when the original Nintendo was released in 1985, and I can't remember a time before I played games. Some of my favorites include anything with The Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and Resident Evil.
Earlier today during my show (the On Demand Lunch specifically), I got a call from a young women looking to request a song. After telling me what song she wanted to hear, I did what I will normally try to do when someone calls, make idle chit-chat. She gave me her name and when I asked what she was up to today, she told me she was waiting outside of GameStop in the Mall while her husband (or maybe it was boyfriend) was picking out a game. Instantly I thought it was a typical shopping trip for a man and a woman with the exception that it's usually the guy waiting outside in the hallway, keeping watch over the countless bags that have been acquired during the trip like a Secret Service agent guarding the President while the woman searches for more great deals.
As I would quickly find out, this wasn't the only exception about this particular shopping trip. It turns out that the man was in the video game store on orders from his better half to find HER a game! WHOA! Say again?

I agree with you about Rocky. In fact, I campaigned for him in '68. But my reason is if we had elected him we would have spared ourselves the pain of a Nixon presidency, which is also why I campaigned for him.
As for the Bass Pro sign, given this city's abysmal record when it comes to controlling billboards and other obnoxious signage, why even bother trying to control Bass Pro's effort to contribute to Memphis's visual pollution?
It does tickle me, though, that folks think Memphis shouldn't do anything that might PO the Bass Pro folks, cause, after all, we're so pathetic. We're like the nerd at the high school dance who's grateful the ugliest girl will dance with him.
+100. Great analogy and it's soooo true!

Question of the Day
Should "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson have been suspended by A&E?
The Terre Haute native started his coaching career here, wound up making stops at Oklahoma, Green Bay, Stanford, Notre Dame and Washington before finally coming home.
When he arrived, players were skipping practice and weight lifting just because they could, and they seemed to put a higher premium on partying than football. Those who did show up worked out when the soccer teams were not. Memorial Stadium hadn't undergone a single renovation in nearly four decades, coaches were scrimping on meals to stay within the $50,000 recruiting budget and those being recruited recounted tales about nails coming through the field's Astroturf.
"When I first got here, we were in the old locker room and you'd shower with four inches of water at your feet," said Obaseki, a senior.
Miles insisted he could win at Indiana State if he could change the mindset, the roster and get more support from the administration and community. He kicked more than three dozen players off the team, and the school came up with nearly $2.75 million to replace the flooded locker room.
"The new locker room is top of the line," Obaseki said. "We went from having nothing to having a lot."
Administrators didn't stop there. They spent an estimated $250,000 to add a remote camera system to record practices, splurged on a new scoreboard, complete with a video screen, and an ex-football player who owns a local construction company donated his time to help put in a new grass practice field. Miles raised roughly $500,000 to add a field that allowed the football team to practice on its own schedule.
The total cost came to roughly $4 million and the benefits have been bountiful. Morale is up and Miles has more leeway to recruit out-of-state talent.
"In the past, we were only funded for so many out-of-state scholarships," Miles said. "Our philosophy is that we're Indiana State, so we're going to recruit in-state kids first. But we border Illinois, Ohio has great football, St. Louis and Atlanta aren't that far away, so we've got other areas where we can recruit very good football players and now we can do that more easily."
Miles didn't go far to find the cornerstones for this rebuilding project.
Obaseki, a 6-3, 260-pound defensive lineman, played high school ball in nearby Washington, Ind. _ a school better known for producing the three Mr. Basketball-winning Zeller brothers.
Bell hails from Warren Central in Indianapolis, which has produced dozens of Division I players over the last decade and had so much talent Bell couldn't crack the starting lineup until his senior season. Because he was undersized at 5-foot-8 and 185 pounds and virtually unknown until he rushed for 3,105 yards in 2009, Indiana State got its chance to convince the state's 2009 Mr. Football runner-up to risk everything by choosing the Sycamores.
All Bell wanted was a chance to be part of something big.
"Coach Miles told me everything was changing and that he had just kicked about 45 guys off the team and that it would be a great place for me to come and display my talents," Bell said. "Plus, I wanted to be a part of history."
In 2011, Bell led the FCS in yards rushing and broke school records for most yards in a season (1,670) and a game (256). He was rewarded with the MVFC's offensive player of the year award and was the first sophomore ever invited to the Payton Award ceremony in Dallas.
This year's plan is to take a much larger contingent with him back to Texas.

Dettol No-Touch Hand Wash System
Date: 16/01/12
Advantages: Fab for little ones
Disadvantages: Cost of soap, eats batteries, triggers on its own
When i first saw this advertised i thought what a gimmic! germy soap pump ok but your washing your hands so who cares and i told my other half i wouldnt get one. i mentioned to my mother that i was going to start potty training my daughter and at the moment was teaching her about washing her hands and she proudly gave me one of these i looked at her like she was a fool. then i realised my little girl couldnt use the soap pump on her own and when she was older might find it a little hard on her own.
anyway i set it up, it was very easy, plop in a bottle, flick the switch and away you go. first time i used it there were a few teething problems with it spurting out soap with no hand near it! but i realised it was getting sprayed with water and moved it further away. anyhow my little girl stood on her step beside me and coppied me by getting her soap then she rubbed her hands and rinsed under the tap all by her self! (18 months old proud mummy!) she was so pleased with herself.
i would say for adults well its a bit of fun and it eats batteries and the soap costs a fortune! £3 a bottle!
For little ones however a different story...
promotes healthy hand washing, gives a great sense of independence (no more mummy i need soap!) and makes a boring task quick and fun.
im going to have a go at re-filling mine with my favorite carex.
Summary: poor for adults good for kiddies

Ian Anstice, practising public librarian, library advocate and the brains behind Public Libraries News, the authoritative source of information on the state of the UK's public library service, has written a post for the National Libraries Day website on why he will be supporting National Libraries Day on February 9 – and why you should too.
Next year's National Libraries Day is due to take place on Saturday February 9, a culmination of a week's worth of celebrations in school, college, university, workplace and public libraries across the UK.
Campaigners have come forward with a mixed response following the publication of a report from a Parliamentary inquiry into library closures.
A national gathering of library campaigners in London earlier this month has sought to set the direction of future activism and advocacy.
An inquiry held by MPs into public library closures is about to publish a long-awaited report into its findings.
Best-selling author Freya North has called libraries "cornerstones of the community" ahead of her appearance at the Letchworth Festival on Tuesday June 19 – and highlighted the longstanding role they have played in her writing
Your We ♥ Libraries team is incredibly excited today – for we've seen our entry on the Letchworth Festival programme website for Freya North's visit in June.
So, how did we get on with our World Book Night giveaway? The event, which was held on and around Monday April 21, saw thousands of free books given away by participants around Britain as part of a drive to promote reading.
From the eastern edge of the county comes news of one Hertfordshire MP who has responded to a request by a constituent that he demonstrate support for public libraries.
On Tuesday last week members of We ♥ Libraries attended Speak Up for Libraries – a national lobby held at the Methodist Central Hall in Westminster to highlight the scale of library cuts around the country and to call on MPs to help mitigate them.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe admits his side will miss in-form midfielder Shaun MacDonald in the next four months.
The 24-year-old Welshman, who has been a vital part of a Cherries team unbeaten in their last 13 games, damaged ankle ligaments in Saturday's victory against Colchester and is ruled out until March.
And Howe, who recently described MacDonald as an unsung hero and a pivotal player who makes his side tick, is now weighing up how best to replace the former Yeovil man.
"I don't think we've got a Shaun MacDonald-type player like-for-like we can bring in," Howe told BBC Solent.
"It might mean we have to be a little bit more flexible in the way we set up. It may mean we have to be creative and although we do have players who can play a similar role, Shaun was unique in terms of his qualities.
"But whether we bring one in from within, or whether we tweak our system, or whether we look to bring a loan player in January, all options are available to us at this moment."

VISTA Training, a leading provider of training materials for earthmoving, excavating and mining applications, has a new PC-based bulldozer simulator from Simlog.
This institutionally-designed simulation software puts trainees at the controls of a medium-sized bulldozer at work in a typical construction site. Seven simulation modules are structured to train entry-level operators on basic operation and core skills. Lessons begin with controls familiarization and progress to more complex tasks, including bulldozer positioning, using the blade to control the path of a boulder, using the blade to backfill a trench, slot dozing and spreading.
"This new dozer simulator is the perfect complement to VISTA's dozer training programs," said VISTA Training President Rick Longstaff. "By using them together, fleet owners can provide comprehensive yet cost-effective training to their operator candidates."
Replica controls are available for the bulldozer simulator. They offer a realistic training experience and can be ordered with tabletop mounting brackets. For added realism, a bulldozer operator chair also is available with an authentic operator seat and industrial controllers mounted on consoles for the left and right hands. The operator chair can be easily reconfigured for use with other Simlog simulators.
The operation of the bulldozer simulator can be customized to simulate the behavior of a wide variety of machines. For example, it can be configured to use separate foot pedals for the decelerator and brake, or just a single pedal that combines both functions.

Volleyball notes: Circle steps up its defense
Circle volleyball coach Shelly Nibarger has preached defense to the Thunderbirds through every workout.
With libero Alyssa Kirkham leading the way, it has paid off for Circle, which is unbeaten in Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail League Division IV.
"We lost five hitters from last year, so we talked defense early," said Nibarger, who is in her 25th season. "I felt our offense would come along. We are quick, and we are very athletic on the back row. Alyssa is just solid. She does a lot of for us.
"… She's a very good anticipator, and she just has that instinct for hitters' tendencies. She picks up on it quickly."
Whenever Kirkham is briefly on the bench, she's talking to Nibarger about what adjustments should be made.
"I tell her, 'You keep doing what you're doing,'" Nibarger said.
Even with a defense that has been scrappy, there was concern with how the offense would take shape with only senior middle Erin Schiesser returning.
A major change has been junior setter Katie Frankenbery, who ran a one-setter offense in 2012. Circle now uses a two-setter attack to utilize Frankenbery's hitting.
She's 5-foot-6, but she leads Circle with 149 kills. She also leads the team in serving percentage and has 22 aces.
The middle is strong with Schiesser and Leah Netzger, while Kaylie Kifer (5-foot-4) is Circle's other outside.
Nibarger is also coaching her oldest daughter, Andie, a sophomore who plays right side. Her youngest, Andie, is in seventh grade.
She said she hopes to coach until Andie graduates, which would end Nibarger's career at an even 30 years.
"That would be neat," Nibarger said.
Hillsboro going for three — Before the Kansas State High School Activities Association released classifications on Friday, Hillsboro coach Sandy Arnold discussed her team's goal of a third straight Class 3A title.
"It would be silly for us not to have that goal," she said. "I've been blessed with a lot of talent. I can't take credit for it. The girls are very talented, and they have really bought into what we're trying to do. We lost some great players last year.… Every year you think, 'How will we replace that?' And every year someone seems to step up into that role."
Hillsboro (16-0) won't have a chance to play for a 3A title because the Trojans dropped into Class 2A.
But Arnold wrote in an e-mail that it doesn't change the goal of winning a third straight title — "It doesn't really matter what class we are in, we will still have to play ball and work hard to get to our ultimate goal."
Hillsboro has a core of four experienced players in senior outside Addie Lackey, senior libero Danae Bina, sophomore outside Alex Ratzlaff and sophomore middle Shannon Heiser.
Bina has played varsity four years, including three trips to the postseason, and Lackey has played for the past two title teams.
Bina is a steady libero, who consistently sends a strong pass to senior setter Maddi Duerksen to start the offense. Bina often stays after practice, arguing with Arnold when it's time to finally get out of the gym for the night.
"She's the last of nine kids, and she grew up playing with her brothers and sisters," Arnold said. "She's as tough as they come."
Ratzlaff and Lackey are the outsides, and while Lackey is a basketball player first, Ratzlaff, whose mom, Amy, is the Tabor coach, grew up around the game.
"They do expect to win, and the community expects it," Arnold said. "… Sometimes it is overwhelming. Can we really do it three times? But at the same time, that's our goal."
