When I started it was the arms and shoulders that hurt so bad.
Yes, please do keep us posted. I haven't heard of anyone's ankles hurting from doing hovers but maybe you are the first.
Make sure your toes are pointed straight down and that your toes and ankles are in perfect alignment. Toes right under your ankles. Happy hovering!

Each day, Donald Boudreaux, professor of economics at George Mason University, writes a letter to the editor of a major American publication. Often, he writes in response to an absurdity offered up by a columnist or politician, or an eye-catching factoid misleadingly taken out of context. This collection, comprised of one hundred of Boudreaux's ideal letters, provides intelligent, witty rejoinders to questions like these:
-Are taxes "really just prices"? (New York Times)
-Does the Tea Party suffer from a "fatuous infatuation" with the Constitution? (Washington Post)
-Is it "obvious" that "if there are fewer guns, there are fewer shootings and fewer funerals" (New Orleans Times-Picayune)
-Has "slowing population growth" proven to be "critical to long-term economic growth"? (Wall Street Journal)
Without swearing allegiance to any party or ideology, Boudreaux takes aim at pundits and politicos on the left, right, and everywhere between. He tackles issues ranging from "lookism" in the office and the futility of border walls to naive faith in alternative energy and the all-too-common tendency to trust a fallible and ever-expanding government.
Half-truths and Hypocrites will not change the deeply held convictions of readers. But it will entertain them, enlighten them, and sharpen their eye for shaky facts, faulty reasoning, and intellectual dishonesty–all of which are threats to a free, prosperous country.

Great research by Professor Greenberg and her team at the LBJ School of Public Affairs. Since graduating from the LBJ School back in the late 90's, I've been fascinated with how social media technology has evolved. I'm sure we'll see even more & more government entities start using these mediums to communicate with their constituents throughout the coming years. -

The staff and the bathroom
The ascenssors very bussy take about 8-10 minutes to used them.the room without design , almost ugly. No facilities like minibar, or bar or restaurant.
Central location, staff and modern clean rooms
Lifts too small and breakfast facilities too small for a 40 floor hotel
The staff were great and it had very thing we needed, location was also fantastic as it was only a few mins walk to Macey's, empire state building and Times square.
Bedroom large with mini-kitchen totally equipped, very clean, no carpet, good view. Good shower. Excellent location. Good breakfast.
Lifts very slow. Actually I think there are not elevators enough for too much numbers of guests. I missed cheese, ham and eggs to self service. There are those things only inside of ready sandwiches.
Rooms were great, as was the location.
Long wait for elevator and breakfast space a bit small for amount of guests using it.
Location was good. Within walking distance to all major attractions. Nightly drinks were good and also business centre.
Very noisy. The doors to all rooms are very noisy when closed and if you are unfortunate enough to get a room opposite the lifts like we did, then you will hear the lifts wizzing past and beeping at each floor. The wait for the lifts is also very long. Internet kept dropping out as well.

Location was perfect, just few minutes walking to Times Square. Still peaceful since not located right next to 7th Avenue. Couldn't hear the traffic into my room (located in 18th floor). Great staff, very friendly. Free coffee all-day long was pleasant surprise.

Free Breakfast and complimentary drinks and snacks Monday to Thursday 5.30-7.30
Lifts were slow at peak times
Location was excellent, Microwave, Big fridge, coffee machine and a kitchen sink
Elevator- I had to wait for 10 minutes to go up or down. Staff are not very friendly. Breakfast
Centrally situated, Free wifi Nice rooms Nice staff
Breakfast to fat Breakfast-area to crowded The Hotel forgot to clean room one day
The location is good, walking distance to many attractions. We didn't had any problems with the elevator unlikely the most reviewers maybe we were lucky. The staff was always helpful. The bed was the star tough, the most comfortable bed I have ever seen at a hotel room. ATM machine in the hotel. Coffee service at the lobby was very good
Didnt enjoy the breakfast. Our room key didnt work two times in five days, we went all the way down to the loby. The safety box was broken.
Great position. Very comfortable bed. Really friendly and helpful staff.
The lack of a bar but there was an Irish pub next door.
The roof top the breakfast the happy hour the employees
Elevators took way too long!?
it was a very nice hotel
the breakfast was in a small room so sometimes you couldnt find a table to sit.
Wonderful service at check -in. Concierge booked us a spectacular dinner at the Italian restaurant "Il Punto" just steps away. The breakfast is commendable & has most any option you would want. We would definitely stay again. Parking garage convenient but don't expect your vehicle to be treated well.
It was very pricey and small but we're told..that's New York. I believe the room pics are very photo shopped to appear large but make no mistake, your legs barely get by the walls on each side & in a double room only down the middle. The sheets were a bit scratchy for my taste.
Location and good service.
The shared areas are very small. It`s needed to arrive early to be able to get a table for breakfast.
The room was great and the bed awesome - very comfortable. It was modern, clean, quiet and had everything that we needed.
Every contact with staff was 100% quality service. Called as we approached by car and "Charlie" gave us new improved directions. Liz at front desk handled our special requests for marathon morning breakfasts. Had trouble with our thermostat and it was fixed in an hour. Great kitchenette-would be a reason to come here in future. Great breakfast variety. Bagels!!!
Wake up call-on first day back to est, wake up call was still on daylight savings time-UGH!! Elevator times on Marathon Saturday. All cereals were of the sweeter nature.
Great location and nice comfortable rooms
Elevators are an issue as is the common places as its a big hotel with limited common places
Really liked the location, breakfast was excellent, all in all a good experience. Staff very eager to please. Very nice hotel. Manager needs to be a little more flexible......
The fact that I was confused on booking that the check out date was not the last night of staying and I inadvertently booked by mistake. On realizing this I asked the hotel to swap out the Sunday night for the Wednesday night. They wouldn't and I had to pay for a extra night which I didn't use. Also on booking I didn't realize there was a no cancellation policy with this hotel be careful. Apart from this the hotel and staff were great, in particular the manager in charge of breakfasr/food, great hard working girl and staff.
We stayed for 4nites it was comerfortable clean we had a view of the empire state building to the left of our building over all we were very happy with our stay I would recommend this hotel
We liked this hotel
Actually not bad
Without hesitation the soft skills demonstrated by your staff to a person was exceptional. From the moment we entered the hotel to the last seconds before we left the staff treated us with respect,friendliness, and great service. Our room for the price we paid was on the tight side,but it was appointed very nicely. The bed was wonderful, sheets and pillows were superior, and finally the bathroom was more than adequate.
The wait for the elevators at time was wearisome.

Such a building ! even at night , but an expensive place for a night out...i wandered past this from the other side of the river and next time i must go and see something there.
this place is beyond description. Wonderful architecture, awsome sound, marvellous stage performance. the best place to go and sped a fortune, but afterwards it will feel like pennies
If you're not going to a concert the Opera is best enjoyed from the outside. It's very impressive and you also get a good perspective from a boat trip or from the other side of the water at Amalienborg.
This impressive modern architecture building is 100% worth a visit. Bonus points if you get to enjoy a concert or opera inside with its awesome acoustics, or if you get to enjoy a glass of wine and a lovely view to the sea.
It would be a very nice walk to opera from city center it will need about 20 min you can also use a bus there and different city ferries
We saw Verdi's Othello here at a very reasonable price. The Opera House is state of the art, with about 8 rows of seats in a curve on each of 3 balconies. The acoustics are superb and the seats are stacked high and away from each other - next person down at around knee level - so you can really... More
Interesting design right on the main waterway. Nice to bike around and see it close up or from one of the tour boats.
During the years we have had many very good experiences at the Copenhagen Opera House. Last season it was "Il Trittico" and this season we are particularly looking forward to "The Flying Dutchman". Tickets are available to most performances, we prefer the second or third floor. The small stage "Takkeloftet" also has interesting performances, among other performed by the Royal... More
Only groups get a tour so book it if you can. You are lucky if you get Lars as your guide since he is knowledgeable and entertaining. Tickets are relatively cheap. If you like classical opera go experience this incredible building.
Came to visit this amazing building. Checked website (which seems to be very rarely updated) to see if open. Checked at harbour bus and told it was open. It was not - at any point for fives days so far as I can tell. Very disappointing ...

In a recent post on e.politics, Colin Delaney outlines a potential pitfall in Facebook's ad model that some advertisers may not know about: namely that Facebook charges more per click if an ad is underperforming, and skews cheaper if an ad is doing well.
Though you might cry foul (or FAIL!), this cost-per-click model is really nothing new. Google Adwords works the same way. The lower your ad quality is calculated to be, the more you'll see your investment affected by higher costs per click. Ad quality may be determined by several factors, including whether users view your ad as relevent to their search. In this way, the system pretty much punishes you for not thinking about and A/B testing for variables like audience, keywords and copy.
Back to Facebook. In Colin's example of a recent ad campaign, he saw the most clever and creative ads do badly and therefore cost more, while the more generic ads skyrocketed. This is another bizarre and often frustrating fact about advertising. What YOU think is a good ad may not actually translate to the average user. Why this is true we may never know. But this is why we always say TEST, TEST, TEST. Create a spectrum of ad copy running from bland to snarky. Choose a variety of images – including ones you wouldn't click on yourself…because the people you want to reach are not you.
And here's my most important advice for someone about to test Facebook ads: separate your ads into individual campaigns. Why? If you have one ad in particular that is doing terribly, it will bring your campaign's average click-through rate down, and your high-performing ads may suffer the consequences. So different ads and different target settings get split into different campaigns, to save your good ads the embarrassment of being seen with their less popular counterparts.
It's a harsh truth, but in this case, popularity wins every time. Is it so far off-base to call your most winning ads your "cheerleaders"?

"Nurse Jackie" and "United States of Tara" get return dates.
Showtime has green-lit an unscripted series about the World Series champion San Francisco Giants and given "Californication" a fifth season.
Showtime Entertainment President David Nevins also announced that "Nurse Jackie" and "United States of Tara" will return March 28.
Also read: Showtime rookies 'Shameless' and 'Episodes' start out strong
He told reporters at the Television Critics Association winter press tour Friday that the Major League Baseball reality series would likely start with a special. He said he hoped it would profile other teams down the line.
"Ideally it's the beginning of a franchise with a different team every year," he said.
The series goes even further than HBO's four-episode "24/7 Penguins/Capitals: Road to the NHL Winter Classic," an unscripted series last month that followed the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals. And baseball draws much better ratings than hockey.
Talking to reporters about his network's shows, Nevins stressed repeatedly that he wants them to be "premium and Showtime." That was part of his explanation for why the network passed on "The Kennedys" after History axed it — he said it was well-done but felt wrong for the network — and his hopes for the second season of "The Real L Word."
Nevins also said the network was inclined to continue "Big Brother After Dark," a companion show to the CBS hit.
"We're not making any announcements today, but it's been successful for us," he said.

9 Tidal Creek, Estate of the Day
Filed under: Estates
Last fall we checked out a home on Tidal Creek in Spring Island, South Carolina. That home is still on the market (with a price cut from $2.75 million to $2.4 million) but today we're checking out the home next door which is also for sale. This home is nicely positioned amid four large live oak trees in Spring Island's three-thousand acres of nature preserve. The lowcountry golf community is 25 minutes from Hilton Head and Beaufort, and 30 minutes by boat from Port Royal Sound and the open Atlantic Ocean.
The 4,700 sq. ft. home on 3.88 acres curves along the arc of its circular driveway. It has a standing seam copper roof, custom steel windows and salvaged antique heart pine beams. The home is backed by the marsh making for privacy and tranquil views and extensive decks, walkways, provide plenty of outdoor space. The grounds also include a three-car garage and 800 sq. ft. guest house. The home itself has a laid-back feel with beamed ceilings, skylights and large windows. A sitting room with a peaked roof offers a particularly nice spot for casual entertaining. This home is listed at $2.995 million.

A Sunday edition of the Southeast Texas "X-Files."
The latest flyin' saucer to grace our toxic airspace was spotted off highway 73, near Port Arthur. It was around 10 p.m. on September 29. A girl was with her dad, staring blankly out the car window. Here is part of the first person account:"It was coming from North of us right when my dad stoped (sic) at the stop sign it stoped (sic). My dad and I were frozed (sic) and amaze (sic) at what we are seeing. While we were looking at it. It was round and flat and it remind (sic) me of this ride that I really love called (the) Gravitron that had red lights all around it and they were not blinking or anything it didnt even make a sound. While we were still looking at it and in my mind im (sic) thinking I dont believe what im (sic) seeing there is no way that this thing that im (sic) seeing is a UFO. no way!"
Um, WAY!
But the timing is curious. This was during the immediate aftermath of Ike. Flashing red lights could have been any manner of emergency vehicle. These, though, didn't act like any ambulance or cop car we've ever seen — hovering there, spinning like a flaming top. It was your typical rotating disc, a run-of-the-mill extra-terrestrial airplane. The folks out in West Texas see these ALL THE TIME. Ask 'em.
Oh, and it was past curfew. Those naughty aliens just love to flaunt the law. Ike, aliens…conspiracy theories anyone?
Know what? It was probably just a flying cow that got caught up in some Christmas lights. Yeah, that must've been it.

For this girls game you'll need to pay attention and be very careful with your movements. You need to help this happy couple who are in love by catching the hearts with an arrow, which are escaping from the two characters. Catch as many hearts as you can with your mouse cursor (the arrow).
The higher the score the more levels you'll get through and the harder the game will become. Maybe you love a boy too or you want to celebrate valentines day next time around by playing lots of fun love games and valentines games. There are lots more love games like this but also some great fun games for girls like dress up or cooking games.

I was enjoying a warm afternoon with one of my favorite wine buddies, my cousin Kacey, and she shared with me a glass of "pink" wine, a Rose to be exact. It was a glass of Groundwork 2011 Grenache Rose. I sipped and talked and then suddenly expressed pure joy and had to know where this wine was from. I examined the bottle as I finished the glass and conversation. A couple of weeks went by and I still was curious about the wine, so I visited the Groundwork Wine website, also known as Sans Liege, and ordered a well-priced bottle to share with my husband.
I like this wine, a lot. In fact, it is the best rose I have had this year, if not ever. It tastes like a summer vacation full of travel and epicurean quests. The nose is a Provencal-style rose, fruity and floral, with the aroma of fresh strawberries and a zip of lemon zest, and on the palate is a bit of spice and sweetness like sweet basil from Greece, and extra qualities which reminded me of tropical fruit from South America. This wine is like a well stamped passport.
Sans Liege/Groundwork is owned and operated by Curt Schalchlin, Schachlin does all the cellar work himself, sourcing the fruit from various key vineyards, the vineyards are thoughtfully chosen by Curt. His story is pretty interesting, he began working at Trader Joe's when he was young, later he built relationships with Herman Story Wines and Barrel 27, he developed his craft with unpaid, hands-on learning in winemaking, soon he was on to producing his own barrels in the Central Coast and now wholeheartedly moving forward with his wines.

[Remember This?] 'Freddy Vs. Jason' And Being Careful What You Wish For
Gremlins is being re-booted. Ghostbusters 3 is apparently being remade. I'm sure there's a large audience for these somewhere out there, but after hearing from you guys it's not necessarily people who make up the BD community. I think that's a wise stance in some ways. I'm not saying these films can't be good – it's entirely possible that either one of them will turn out to be amazing – it just doesn't seem likely.
A lot of this stems from simply looking at the components. How could it be good? What are we working with here? In the case of the above two movies (especially Gremlins) it's sort of an unknown quantity at this point. But we do know that the way the current studio system functions, especially in regard to remakes, will make it difficult for these projects to sing in the way that their progenitors did. Hell, the Evil Dead remake did almost everything right in terms of studio approach and a lot of you still didn't like it (not arguing with your opinions on this, just stating that they exist). It boils down to that, with these kinds of properties – or just even "wouldn't this be awesome" concepts – we're always looking at a "be careful what you wish for" scenario.
I suppose one of the first movies that got me thinking this way was Freddy Vs. Jason, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary this August. I still remember heading to the theater on opening night, full of excitement, thinking, "how could this NOT be great?!" Less than 2 hours later I left the theater shaking my head, singing an entirely different tune, "how could I have ever thought this was a good idea?" READ MORE

Sherlock Holmes' London
As the detective stalks movie theaters, our reporter tracks down the favorite haunts of Arthur Conan Doyle and his famous sleuth
- By Joshua Hammer
- Photographs by Stuart Conway
- Smithsonian magazine, January 2010, Subscribe
One summer evening in 1889, a young medical school graduate named Arthur Conan Doyle arrived by train at London's Victoria Station and took a hansom cab two and a half miles north to the famed Langham Hotel on Upper Regent Street. Then living in obscurity in the coastal town of Southsea, near Portsmouth, the 30-year-old ophthalmologist was looking to advance his writing career. The magazine Beeton's Christmas Annual had recently published his novel, A Study in Scarlet, which introduced the private detective Sherlock Holmes. Now Joseph Marshall Stoddart, managing editor of Lippincott's Monthly, a Philadelphia magazine, was in London to establish a British edition of his publication. At the suggestion of a friend, he had invited Conan Doyle to join him for dinner in the Langham's opulent dining room.
Amid the bustle of waiters, the chink of fine silver and the hum of dozens of conversations, Conan Doyle found Stoddart to be "an excellent fellow," he would write years later. But he was captivated by one of the other invited guests, an Irish playwright and author named Oscar Wilde. "His conversation left an indelible impression upon my mind," Conan Doyle remembered. "He had a curious precision of statement, a delicate flavour of humour, and a trick of small gestures to illustrate his meaning." For both writers, the evening would prove a turning point. Wilde left with a commission to write his novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, which appeared in Lippincott's June 1890 issue. And Conan Doyle agreed to produce a second novel starring his ace detective; The Sign of Four would cement his reputation. Indeed, critics have speculated that the encounter with Wilde, an exponent of a literary movement known as the Decadents, led Conan Doyle to deepen and darken Sherlock Holmes' character: in The Sign of Four's opening scene, Holmes is revealed to be addicted to a "seven-percent solution" of cocaine.
Today the Langham Hotel sits atop Regent Street like a grand yet faded dowager, conjuring up a mostly vanished Victorian landscape. The interior has been renovated repeatedly over the past century. But the Langham's exterior—monolithic sandstone facade, with wrought-iron balconies, French windows and a columned portico—has hardly changed since the evening Conan Doyle visited 120 years ago. Roger Johnson, publicity director of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London, a 1,000-strong band of Holmes devotees, points to the hotel's mention in several Holmes tales, including The Sign of Four, and says it's a kind of shrine for Sherlockians. "It's one of those places where the worlds of Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes come together," he adds. Others include the Lyceum Theatre, where one of Conan Doyle's plays was produced (and a location in The Sign of Four), as well as the venerable gentlemen's clubs along the thoroughfare of the Strand, establishments that Conan Doyle frequented during forays into the city from his estate in Surrey. Conan Doyle also appropriated St. Bartholomew's Hospital in central London as a setting; it was there that the legendary initial meeting between Holmes and Dr. Watson took place.
Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland, the son of Charles Doyle, an alcoholic who would spend much of his later life in a mental institution, and Mary Foley Doyle, the attractive, lively daughter of an Irish doctor and a teacher; she loved literature and, according to biographer Andrew Lycett, beguiled her children with her storytelling. Marking the sesquicentennial of Conan Doyle's birth, Edinburgh held a marathon of talks, exhibitions, walking tours, plays, films and public performances. Harvard University sponsored a three-day lecture series examining Holmes' and Conan Doyle's legacy. This past spring, novelist Lyndsay Faye published a new thriller, Dust and Shadow, featuring Holmes squaring off against Jack the Ripper. And last month, of course, Holmes took center stage in director Guy Ritchie's Hollywood movie Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as Watson.
A persuasive case can be made that Holmes exerts just as much hold on the world's imagination today as he did a century ago. The Holmesian canon—four novels and 56 stories—continues to sell briskly around the world. The coldly calculating genius in the deerstalker cap, wrestling with his inner demons as he solves crimes that befuddle Scotland Yard, stands as one of literature's most vivid and most alluring creations.
Conan Doyle's other alluring creation was London. Although the author lived only a few months in the capital before moving to the suburbs, he visited the city frequently throughout his life. Victorian London takes on almost the presence of a character in the novels and stories, as fully realized—in all its fogs, back alleys and shadowy quarters—as Holmes himself. "Holmes could never have lived anywhere else but London," says Lycett, author of the recent biography The Man Who Created Sherlock Holmes: The Life and Times of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. "London was the hub of the empire. In addition to the Houses of Parliament, it had the sailors' hostels and the opium dens of the East End, the great railway stations. And it was the center of the literary world."
Much of that world, of course, has been lost. The British Clean Air Act of 1956 would consign to history the coal-fueled fogs that shrouded many Holmes adventures and imbued them with menace. ("Mud-coloured clouds drooped sadly over the muddy streets," Conan Doyle writes in The Sign of Four. "Down the Strand the lamps were but misty splotches of diffused light which threw a feeble circular glimmer upon the slimy pavement.") The blitz and postwar urban redevelopment swept away much of London's labyrinthine and crime-ridden East End, where "The Man With the Twisted Lip" and other stories are set. Even so, it is still possible to retrace many of the footsteps that Conan Doyle might have taken in London, to follow him from the muddy banks of the Thames to the Old Bailey and obtain a sense of the Victorian world he transmuted into art.
He first encountered london at the age of 15, while on a three-week vacation from Stonyhurst, the Jesuit boarding school to which his Irish Catholic parents consigned him in northern England. "I believe I am 5 foot 9 high," the young man told his aunt, so she could spot him at Euston station, "pretty stout, clad in dark garments, and above all, with a flaring red muffler round my neck." Escorted around the city by his uncles, young Conan Doyle took in the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and the Crystal Palace, and viewed a performance of Hamlet, starring Henry Irving, at the Lyceum Theatre in the West End. And he went to the Chamber of Horrors at Madame Tussaud's wax museum, then located in the Baker Street Bazaar (and on Marylebone Road today). Conan Doyle viewed with fascination wax models of those who had died on the guillotine during the French Revolution as well as likenesses of British murderers and other arch-criminals. While there, the young man sketched the death scene of French radical Jean-Paul Marat, stabbed in his bath at the height of the Revolution. After visiting the museum, Conan Doyle wrote in a letter to his mother that he had been irresistibly drawn to "the images of the murderers."

Fans of the Great Detective may be interested in my latest book. It should be published before Christmas, 2011. The working title is "Seeing Sherlock Holmes's London". In it, I have identified over 400 SH sites in Greater London, given their GPS addresses, and in the e-book version, hyperlinked the sites to Google Maps Street Views. Enthusiasts can now "visit" Sherlock's London from their home computer, or for the lucky few, on their large screen internet TVs. I hope you enjoy it. TBW

Any list of modern screen and literary works featuring Conan Doyle's creation should surely include Laurie R. King's excellent Mary Russell novels (ten and counting), whose protagonist is the apprentice and wife of the retired but still active and brilliant Sherlock Holmes.

Your print edition lists five actors who've played Holmes. Your online video clip tells about even more. But you've somehow managed to leave out Vasily Livanov's portrayal. Not good.

Having been an avid Sherlock Holmes reader since age 10, I have put a quotation from the great detective to good use in my 30 years of orthodontic practice. During it I charged the lowest fee in town (and, I believe, achieved the best result), except for children with any sort of congenital health problem, for whose treatment I refused any fee. When parents haggled about the fee, I replied "I never reduce my fee except when I remit it entirely." None of the hagglers ever recognized the source of the statement.

A great article on Holmes's London. My trip to The Sherlock Holmes Museum at 221b Baker Street was most enjoyable and I was intrigued to learn that their blue plaque marking the "original location" of 221b is the most popular plaque in London!
Can't wait to visit the landmarks mentioned in the article.

HIGHLAND — Less than 24 hours after surviving some lackluster play in an overtime win at Collinsville, the Belleville East Lancers weren't as fortunate Saturday at the Highland Optimist-Scott Credit Union Basketball Shootout.
Perennial St. Louis power DeSmet got a game-high 16 points from sparkplug guard Jimmy Barton, while three teammates combined for 32 points in a 63-54 defeat of the Lancers.
Getting an emotional lift from the season debut of Butler University recruit Nolan Berry, the Spartans (9-4) got a combined 11 points from Barton and Mitch Plassmeyer in the third quarter, as they turned a five-point halftime lead into a 45-32 cushion entering the fourth period.
But despite playing without senior guard Khalil Smith-Traylor, the Lancers rallied.
With Darreon Reddick scoring nine of his 21 points, the Lancers cut the Spartans' lead to 58-54 with under a minute to play.
Plassmeyer then missed the front end of a one-and-one, but Lancers senior Malcolm Hill missed a 3-pointer.
Berry, who missed the Spartans' first 12 games because of an injury, followed with a short jumper on DeSmet's possession to push the lead back to six, all but icing the win.
"You bet having Nolan back in the lineup. How could having a 6-9 Division I player not give a team a lift,'' DeSmet coach Kevin Poelker said. "I thought for his first game he looked pretty good in there.
"The difference in the game? There were several. I thought our pressure hurt them and we really did a nice job on the boards. That's a very good team we beat today.''
Hill led East (13-2) with 23 points, while the 6-3 Reddick added 21. However the third member of the Lancers' top trio -- Smith-Traylor -- was nowhere to be found.
"No comment,'' Lancers coach Abel Schrader said when asked about Smith-Traylor.
"Once again though, like we did last night against Collinsville, we played well in spurts," Schrader said about the game. "At times, we did a lot of good things. We need to do a better job of rebounding and we need to do a better job on the defensive end of the court. But until we learn to put four good quarters together on a consistent basis, we're going to have games like this one.''
With Hill and Reddick combining for 13 first-quarter points, the Lancers led 14-13 after eight minutes.
But East went cold.
Plagued by four turnovers and outhustled on the boards, the Lancers were outscored 10-4 in the second quarter, which ended with the Spartans leading 23-18.
Things got worse in the third quarter.
Getting a pair of short jumpers from Plassmeyer, a putback by Barton and a pair of short jumpers from Berry, DeSmet outscored East 22-14 and took a 45-32 lead into the final period.
"I thought we did a much better job of moving the basketball in the second half and we got everyone involved in the offense,'' Poelker said. "We were also able to get some transition baskets and that really helped us maintain the momentum.
"Defensively, Hill and Reddick hurt us, but I thought we made them earn everything they got. Like I said, this was a big win for us.''

NORRISTOWN – A Pottstown woman who once worked for a Chester County dentist has admitted to using the dentist's personal credentials to fraudulently obtain prescription medications.
Nancy Schwartz, 53, of the first block of West Third Street, pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Court on Monday to charges of identity theft, forgery and obtaining drugs by fraud in connection with incidents that occurred at pharmacies in Collegeville and New Hanover between January 2010 and January 2011.
Judge William R. Carpenter deferred sentencing so that court officials can complete a background investigative report about Schwartz. Schwartz, who remains free on bail pending sentencing, also requested to be evaluated for suitability for a house arrest program.
Schwartz, formerly of East Fifth Avenue in Collegeville, faces a possible maximum sentence of 10 to 20 years in prison on the charges.
An investigation of Schwartz began in January 2011 when police found in Schwartz's vehicle bottles of prescription medications that were prescribed in Schwartz's name and in the fictitious name of another woman, according to court documents.
When police contacted the Chester County dentist, whose name was listed on the prescription bottles, the dentist advised police that Schwartz was a former employee who he fired in July 2010. The doctor told police that he never prescribed medication to Schwartz and that the unidentified woman's name who also was listed on some of the prescription bottles was not a patient at his office.
The dentist "learned Schwartz was illegally calling in prescriptions using his DEA number," according to the arrest affidavit filed by Collegeville Police Officer Andrew Sohl. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration assigns DEA numbers to health care providers that allow them to issue prescriptions for medications that are controlled substances.
During the investigation, authorities obtained surveillance video footage from the CVS Pharmacy on Park Avenue in Collegeville that depicted Schwartz picking up a fraudulent prescription from the pharmacy counter on Dec. 24, 2010, according to the criminal complaint. A further investigation showed that Schwartz fraudulently used the dentist's information five times to obtain a total of 27 prescriptions under a fictitious name between January and December 2010, according to the arrest affidavit.
The prescriptions were purchased with cash and were for the same medications that were found on Schwartz at the time of her arrest, court documents indicate.
The investigation revealed that on July 16, 2010, a woman, claiming to be from the dentist's office, called in a prescription for Vicodin, a prescribed pain reliever, at the CVS Pharmacy on Swamp Pike in New Hanover, court papers indicate.
"She added the patient was prescribed the medication in the past and has no issues," Sohl alleged, adding the pharmacist confirmed the prescription was fraudulent by calling the dentist's office.
A female later attempted to pick up the prescription at the pharmacy but the pharmacist did not fill it.
"The pharmacist provided a detailed description of the actor and her vehicle. The descriptions provided match Nancy Schwartz's physical appearance and her green Ford Explorer," Sohl alleged.
When police searched CVS records from the New Hanover store they uncovered that the dentist's DEA number was fraudulently used four times to obtain 10 prescriptions between January 2010 and April 2010, according to the arrest affidavit. Schwartz placed the prescription orders in the names of relatives, according to court documents.
All prescriptions stopped at the New Hanover CVS after Schwartz was denied the fraudulent prescription on July 16, court papers indicate.

Standing in Silverton, Colorado's historic mining museum during the Red Bull Cold Rush welcome party, Sean Pettit - at the age of 18 - is a seasoned veteran, and last year's winner.
"Obviously I'm thrilled to be at Cold Rush this year," Pettit said. "I'm really stoked to have a venue change. I rolled into town today and had heard about Silverton's terrain, but seeing it in person, I'm really impressed."
For the past two years, Red Bull Cold Rush has run at Retallack Lodge in British Columbia, but for the first time in its four-year history it moves out of Canada and into the United States.
"You really have to be able to read the terrain and read the snow; you can't just send it blindly and have everything work out." -Aaron Brill
A unique place for a unique contest, Silverton Mountain in Colorado was perfect for the evolution of Cold Rush. Outside a tiny and historic mining town, Silverton Mountain is accessed by one double chairlift. From there, the high-alpine terrain is then accessed via hiking or helicopter. With 400 inches of annual snowfall and nearly 24,000 acres of skiable terrain, the Cold Rush athletes will have no trouble finding terrain to get creative in.
Top Athletes + Wild Venue = Sick Event
The field, consisting of 14 men and 6 women, includes some of the best skiers in the world. Red Bull athlete Sean Pettit will defend his title against skiers like Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, Tim Durtschi, Dane Tudor, and Red Bull's Richard Permin.
Last year's women's champion Suz Graham will attempt to keep the top podium spot in a field consisting of Red Bull's Grete Eliassen, Michelle Parker, and Jackie Paaso.
Legendary freeski veteran Pep Fujas spent the past two weeks in Silverton's terrain creating the slopestyle portion of the three-stage competition. "Everything is dialed in and looking pretty for all the athletes," Fujas said. "My favorite feature is 'The Castle,' which is the last jump, about a 70-foot step down to the knuckle. You could go 100 easy. It's kind of scary, but really safe, so we should see some amazing stuff off it."
On Monday, Cold Rush will kick off with the big mountain portion of the competition. A cliff-hucking zone will be also utilized for Big Air to round out the trio of events.
Silverton Mountain opened in 1992 as the realization of a dream held by owners Aaron and Jen Brill. "Silverton is a great location for Cold Rush," Aaron pointed out. "You really have to be able to read the terrain and read the snow; you can't just send it blindly and have everything work out. To have 22 of the world's best athletes here is just amazing."

Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images? |
This cd is excellent and is easily the best of all the Acoustic Disc DGQ studio albums. For starters, this version of Dawgnation (the tune) is vastly superior to the Garcia/Grisman version on the 3-disc box set, DGQ-20 (a box set completely worth owning). This performance of this tune is, in my opinion, one of the highlights of the entire recorded career of the David Grisman Quintet (of any incarnation).
Aside from the highlights of the DGQ-25 band's 1 concert performance in 2001 I have always sorta felt that the best DGQ stuff happened in the '70s and early '80s but with this new album all those thoughts were erased. It's been a while since I heard this incarnation "live" and this album has proven to me that it's time for me to check them out again.
This definitely stands near the top of the DGQ studio output. If it weren't for the whistling in one tune (there should just never be whistling in a song) and the fact that I don't really like the tune for the Eakle-Grisman duet I'd give this cd 5 stars.
I almost didn't buy this one, thinking "Nah I don't need to hear another new DGQ album" but I am so glad I did! This is one of my favorite cd's of the year so far.

Stephen Ryan, Esq, MAR General Counsel, addresses questions and issues raised on the Legal Hotline, available to designated REALTORS® weekdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 800-370-5342.
UNCOOPERATIVE TENANTQ. One of the tenants in a multifamily home listing of mine has been extremely uncooperative, never allowing me to show his apartment, which makes it very hard to market the property. What can I do?
A. Ask the owner of the building to address this situation as soon as practicable. You have no legal right to enter the apartment for showings unless the lease agreement stipulates that as a condition of the tenancy they shall allow reasonable access for showings or, in the alternative, the tenant voluntarily agrees to give you access.
The law states that during the period of a residential tenancy the tenant enjoys the exclusive use and possession of the unit.
Chapter 186 Section 15B of the Massachusetts General Laws explains as follows:
Section 15B. (1) (a) No lease relating to residential real property shall contain a provision that a lessor may, except to inspect the premises, to make repairs thereto or to show the same to a prospective tenant, purchaser, mortgagee or its agents, enter the premises before the termination date of such lease. A lessor may, however, enter such premises: (i) in accordance with a court order; (ii) if the premises appear to have been abandoned by the lessee; or(iii) to inspect, within the last 30 days of the tenancy or after either party has given notice to the other of intention to terminate the tenancy, the premises for the purpose of determining the amount of damage, if any, to the premises which would be cause for deduction from any security deposit held by the lessorpursuant to this section.
If the lease states that the property may be shown during the tenancy, the landlord can remind the tenant of the terms of the agreement and that failure to reasonably accommodate these showings will be viewed as a material breach of the lease possibly subjecting the tenant to eviction proceedings or injunctive relief in court to compel the tenant to comply.
If, however, they do not have a written lease agreement with a provision to allow showings, then neither you nor the landlord has the right to enter the premises for showings if the tenant says "no." This is one of the key reasons why it is recommended that landlords always have a written lease agreement with a tenant, even when they are a tenant-at-will.
FAILED SEPTICQ. A home that I have listed is under agreement, and its septic system failed the Title 5 inspection. The buyer is demanding that the owner fix the system. My seller says she doesn't have to upgrade the system and that she told the buyer (and me) that the house is being sold "as is." Who is right?
A. The seller. Unless the seller, or you as the listing broker, has made some representation with regards to the condition of the septic system, there is nothing in state law or regulation that compels the seller to pay forthe upgrade.
Further, the law does NOT require that the system be upgraded prior to transfer. Title 5 simply states that the system must be upgraded within two years of the inspection that indicates failure or sooner if the local board of health determines that a faster upgrade is necessary for protecting public health.
Based upon the foregoing, the buyer may choose to withdraw based upon the inspection contingency in their contract with the buyer or determine whether they want to pay for the upgrade themselves. It is also possible that a lender may allow them to close prior to the upgrade while holding back a portion of the seller's proceeds. This would also require acquiescence on the part of the seller.

Re: Mato fato Gentleman!Actually, I call it "Mato fato" gentleman, because the original lyrics were "Mother ******" gentleman. To me, I can make the 300,000th post. Do you agree? |
