COLUMBIA Gov. Nikki Haley wants South Carolinas colleges and universities to earn the money they are given.
Haley said Wednesday she is still working out details of a new funding system. She brought together higher education leaders, business leaders and lawmakers for the Governors Public Higher Education Conference in Columbia.
The focus of the new system will be on factors like how many students get jobs after they graduate or what percentage of the student body is from in-state, Haley said.
This is not rocket science. Are you placing kids in jobs? Are you coordinating with companies to get apprenticeships? How many in-state versus out-of-state? Is your tuition affordable? Haley said. These are basic things any parent wants to know, any student needs to know to plan.
The goal is to get more specialization and less generalization in South Carolinas colleges and universities, the governor said.
Haley said her system eliminates funding universities based on football tickets and how big they are.
This merit-based approach is going to allow schools to work harder. Its going to allow smaller schools to excel, larger schools to have to prove themselves, Haley said.
University officials are willing to listen to the governors plan, but they said if the goal is better universities, then more money will be needed to put in the pot.
The state portion of funding for public universities has fallen from 16 percent to 11 percent in the past 12 years.
Haley and lawmakers arent ready to commit to more money.
The second half of the conference dealt with how colleges, technical colleges and universities can prepare their students for jobs in the state.
Business leaders said it is especially tough to get young people interested in manufacturing jobs that are still critical to South Carolinas economy.

This thread has seriously entertained me. I've read all 7 pages... please... keep going
This is kind of the opposite of the topic, but fabers grappling has really been impressing me, it is very well suited for mma. He never settles on his back and always works to scramble for top position. His recent fight kind of highlighted how the BJJ mind set of settling on you back and accepting full guard doesn't work all well against other high level mixed martial artists.

I could POSSIBLY see Rory, GSP, Hendricks, and Ellenberger depending on how things went.
However, Diaz, Condit, Saffediene, Lawler, and Koscheck would be in deep shit.
Maia would depend on what openings Askren left.
The guy's just a different kind of grappler and I'm convinced that you can't get him off of you lol.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
Rory, I would give a chance but only because of his length, keeping Ben on the outside. His TDD is VERY questionable and not as great as people make it out to be. He was taken down by Penn, a LW! Ellenberger isn't the All-American that Joe Rogan was making him out to be, but he got one on Rory as well. Ben would have no trouble putting Rory on his back and holding him there, if he times his takedown well.
I give Ellenberger less of a chance, as he's not a great wrestler himself. He relies so much on his KO punches that Ben would be able to swoop down and take him down. Like Rory, we haven't seen what he can do from the bottom, if he can get back to his feet or use BJJ. I think Ben would work him on the ground and win every scramble.
I give both Maia and Jake Shields a solid chance of beating Askren. Both guys have faced larger wrestlers in their careers and fared exceptionally well. Both also have the BJJ game to make it difficult on Ben to control them from top. Again, it would be a grappling scrap, with the fight going either way depending on how the judges see it.
Anyone who doesn't have a wrestling or a elite grappling background like the names you mentioned, would most likely be controlled and lose in an underwhelming manner.
I don't think even Koscheck can get away from that pressure after watching Ben's last few fights.
I could be wrong and I openly admit Kos has an advantage at boxing and GNP but I just think he'd be in trouble as he'd likely try to exploit those advantages and end up getting blanketed.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
Askren's would be a perfect heel to GSP's babyface down the line and I think that's a helluva fight to hype, although I don't think Askren has much to offer GSP in a genuine MMA fight.
That said, I still can't shake the Hieron fight, and since then I haven't seen him fight anybody anywhere near top caliber, I'm not totally sold on him yet, if he were to go against top fighters. Unfortunately, there aren't many top fighters left for Askren to fight at WW in BFC, so he may be interested in making a jump.
Don't you think a welcome fight with Woodley followed by a top 5-7 guy would line him right up if they decided to piss Bellator off?
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
Do you think woodley and he would fight? They wrestled together. I have the same concern as fedorlei due to the heiron fight. He mixed in his jits positioning and wrestling nicely last night.

text: Three standard (no magwell) SGM magazines for the Saiga 12 shotgun. They've been locked into my shotgun and hand cycled a few times, but never used in live fire. The two on the left are 10 rounders, the one on the right was a 10 rounder that I shortened to 8 rounds. Asking $26 each plus flat rate shipping, postal money order only. If you prefer, I can shorten the other two to 8 rounds capacity at no charge. I think they handle better at that length.

"Hello Alternative Tentacles, I recently purchased the Dick Cheney/Evil Dead t-shirt. I absolutely love it, and my affection for AT Records has only grown because of it. So my friend wanted to hang out, and we agreed on the yuppie/tourist-infested mall in downtown San Antonio since it's basically the halfway point between us. What a great time to wear my new shirt! And I got lots of glares from patriotic Texans.
On my way home, to the next bus, a cop saw it and didn't find it funny. Officer Garcia, badge #0622, to be exact. Bike cop, looked like a total idiot with the helmet on. He demanded identification, so I handed over my license. The explanation of what I was doing (coming home from a day out, trying to catch the last bus, "see here's my transfer") didn't convince him as he just laughed it off. Finally I got pissed and demanded to know what was up. He asked me what my shirt meant. I said it was a movie.
Officer: "Yea? And is Mr. Cheney in it?" Me: "No." Officer: "So why is he on it?" Me: "He nearly dies every few weeks and some people think he's evil. It's a joke." Officer: "I don't find it to be a funny one." Me: "Yea I can tell by your line of questioning..." Officer: "Don't get smart! Don't resist!!!" Me: "I'm not. I'm standing here." [I was wearing flip-flops too] Officer: "If you want to resist, I have many little toys I can use to make you stop." [He really said all of this.] Me: "As I said I am standing here." Officer: "Well for now you're being detained for suspicious activity."
He writes shit down and calls in my license. But the funny part was, the guy on the other end had him repeat it many times because he couldn't understand the stooge. Finally he gets it. 10 minutes passes. He's embarrassed now, so he pushes my license back at me and pockets my transfer. This was right after the last bus #602 passed. He smirked at me and told me to get lost and that he'd come find me if he needed me. I said "good luck!" and walked off. Fucking fascist. So maybe you guys should notify future patrons that this shirt might get your on TIPS or TIA or some shit like that.
Just thought I'd share my story. Keep up the great work!!!
Henry Rollins and Jello Biafra at last Friday's incredibly fun and successful spoken word/art auction fundraiser for the West Memphis Three put on by Skeleton Key. Jello says it was the first time he and Henry have performed together!
The art will include the one-night debut of artwork by WM3 prisoner Damien Echols, plus art by many others, including Carol Queen, Jayne County, Jonathan Richman, Matt Skiba, Shepard Fairey, Firehouse Kustom Rockart, and Winston Smith.
Speaking will be Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra, Jonathan Richman, Matt Gonzalez , Penelope Houston and Jacob Pitts. Michale Graves and Jacob Pitts will be playing acoustic sets.
Don't miss this incredible once-in-a-lifetime event!
We are again getting reports of a Dead Kennedys song turning up in a truly putrid TV show behind Jello's back. This time, instead of "American Idol," it's "California Uber Alles" used by "The OC" But again, we need visual proof. The Dead Kennedys partnership is now run in Cheney-esque secrecy, so a simple inquiry to East Bay Ray seems useless.
Is the song used only in the UK's Channel 4 commercial, or have there been more like it? Thanks again for the crucial help in busting 'em on "American Idol," but if we can't prove an "OC" connection, we should let this one drop.
Thanx again, Biafra

Jello Biafra, former lead singer of the Dead Kennedys, made a statement at the event condemning the evidence that convicted the West Memphis Three, as well as the system that allowed it to happen.
"Some people say to me, what are you doing defending these guys in Arkansas? They're a bunch of stoners who chopped up little kids for Satan and stuff! And I say, well, okay I wasn't there, I'm not 100 percent sure the West Memphis Three are innocent, but even so, isn't there something in the constitution about people have to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?" said Biafra. "If they're guilty, prove it this time. Prove it for real. No matter how law and order you are, wouldn't it be better to catch the right person before it happens to another kid?" A staunch opponent of the death penalty, Biafra added, "I have been militantly, vehemently against the death penalty for one simple reason: What if they've got the wrong person? This could happen to me; what if they've got the wrong person?"
Among the stellar line-up for the WM3 World Awareness Day at the Swedish American Hall to raise money for the West Memphis Three's defense fund were performances by: �Dr. Frank, Paula Frazer, Knife and Fork, Kelley Stoltz, Stephanie Finch, Jonathan Richman, Mark Kozelek, and Jello Biafra. More info about the show here.
Jello has this to say about the quagmire in Iraq:
The concert will bring together several notable musical acts such as: International Recording Stars Thievery Corporation, Punk-rock bands LeTigre, Bouncing Souls, Country music recording artist Steve Earle, Socially conscious Hip-Hop groups like The Coup and Head-Roc, Indy rock stars Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Wayne Kramer of the MC5 with AT's own the Bellrays!
For those in the DC area, this will be an event of epic proportions not to be missed!

Bottle deposit change triggers oppositionBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | February 28,2014MONTPELIER Legislation that would repeal the deposit on liquor bottles and beverage containers 1 liter and larger is drawing strong opposition from redemption centers and environmental advocates who see it as a first step in ending the four-decade-old program.
The provisions are included in S.208, a solid waste bill sponsored by Sen. Robert Hartwell, D-Bennington, chairman of the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee. He said the proposed changes to the states bottle redemption law, enacted in 1973, are a step toward a single-stream solid waste system.
In a single-stream system, all solid waste, including bottles and cans and other recyclable material, is collected together and sorted at a materials recovery facility. Proponents say it is more efficient and allows more people to participate in recycling because sorting at home is not required.
Vermonts bottle redemption law created a separate waste stream for bottles and cans. Although the legislation wouldnt repeal the entire bottle law, a broader discussion is already taking place in committee, and amendments could be submitted when the bill hits the Senate floor.
David Ellenbogen, the vice chairman of the Vermont Sierra Club, told the committee Thursday that the bottle bill has changed the habits of Vermonters and raised recycling rates.
He said weakening the law would hurt the states reputation as an environment-friendly state.
How would headlines read outside of Vermont if the bottle bill were to be weakened or abolished? he asked.
Ellenbogen also argued that bottles and cans would dot Vermonts landscape if deposits were eliminated. Because the containers currently have value, many people scour the roadside for them and take them to a redemption center, he said.
Those people are not going to do it if theyre not getting a nickel a bottle, he said. Where are those bottles going to go?
Paul Burns, executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, said his organization opposes the bill because of its impact on the bottle redemption law. He told lawmakers it is the most successful environmental law in Vermont in the past 40 years and should be expanded to include even more recyclable containers.
A November 2010 poll funded by VPIRG showed that 93 percent of Vermonters support the law, with 75 percent indicating strong support, Burns said. Just 4 percent said the redemption law is a bad idea, and 86 percent supported an expansion to include more products made from aluminum and polyethylene terephthalate, or PET.
Redemption center owners also testified Thursday, saying their businesses would take a big hit if the redemption law were weakened or eliminated. Arthur Carroll, owner of Springfield Redemption Center, spoke on behalf of about 100 such businesses.
He said the bottle provisions in the bill are meant to end Vermonts bottle bill. The beverage industry, Carroll said, has successfully lobbied lawmakers to prevent about 30 bills seeking an expansion of the law in recent years.
Bob Coloutti, owner of Terrill Street Discount Beverage in Rutland, said his redemption center attracts customers to his store. Any weakening of the law would harm his business, he said.
Its a calling card for me, Coloutti said. It gets people to come to my store. Without redemption, the reason for my store is greatly in jeopardy, and so is my business.
He added, Not a lot of what gets talked about is what happens to these businesses if redemption goes away.
The sorting of bottles and cans is also providing jobs for people who may otherwise struggle to secure employment, he said.
Theyre not wielding a résumé, Coloutti said. Theyre not college educated, but they are hardworking and looking to earn a wage. You cant just take something away thats been in place for 30 years and think that people are just going to keep on trucking.
Ray Dube, sustainability manager for Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Northern New England, told lawmakers that recovered material from the recycling of bottles and cans has value and is used in a variety of products. Fleece used in apparel and the stuffing used by the Vermont Teddy Bear Co. are made from recycled PET, he said.
Dube said even more products should be recycled but consumers are largely unaware. Among widely used products that end up in landfills are tomato containers, ketchup bottles and peanut butter jars, he said.
Andrew MacLean, a lobbyist representing the Beverage Association of Vermont, said the industry is seeking a single-stream waste system to improve efficiency. It would also save distributors money, he said.
Currently, distributors must pay a 3.5-cent handling fee for each can or bottle brought back to a redemption center. Vermonts handling fee is the highest in the country, MacLean said.
Should lawmakers move to repeal the redemption law and move to a single-stream system, he said, the beverage industry is prepared to fund public recycling containers to prevent littering and launch a very intense public education campaign.
How the legislation will evolve remains unclear. Hartwell said Thursday his goal is to adopt a comprehensive single-stream solid waste system that incorporates bottles and cans.
The bottle provision is intended to at least spur discussion on how the existing redemption system can be phased out in favor of single-stream, he said.
I dont know whats going to happen to the bottle provisions right now, but the point is that there has to be a comprehensive solid waste system, Hartwell said.
Although he acknowledged that including a repeal of the deposit on liquor bottles and larger containers in S.208 is inviting trouble, Hartwell said he never intended to repeal the bottle bill in this bill.
The full committee will have a chance to weigh in on how to proceed, he said.
If the committee wants to just leave it alone for the time being, then thats what they want, Hartwell said.

Jennifer AnistonActor
Born: 11 February 1969
Birthplace: Sherman Oaks, California
Best known as:
Rachel on the TV series Friends
When the sitcom Friends hit the airwaves in 1994, Jennifer Aniston quickly became the show's first breakout star as the goofy and sexy Rachel. Her distinctively curvy haircut became a popular craze, and she was an early favorite of tabloids and celebrity gossip columns, especially after her marriage to actor Brad Pitt in 2000; they divorced in 2005 amid a flurry of rumors that Pitt had become interested in actress Angelina Jolie. (The rumors proved true.) Since then, Aniston's love life and family plans have been fodder for entertainment publications, while her career has been a steady stream of romantic -- and sometimes oddball -- comedies. Aniston's feature films include the cult favorite Office Space (1999, directed by Mike Judge), Rock Star (2000, with Mark Wahlberg), The Good Girl (2002, with Jake Gyllenhaal), Along Came Polly (2004, with Ben Stiller), Rumor Has It (2005, with Kevin Costner); The Break-Up (2006, opposite one-time real-life beau Vince Vaughn); Love Happens (2009, with Aaron Eckhart); The Bounty Hunter (2009, with Gerard Butler); and the couples comedy Wanderlust (2012, with Paul Rudd).

Jennifer Aniston's godfather was late actor Telly "Kojak" Savalas.

I tried on the pants today for the first time, and they are as advertised. I find them a little baggy, but not more so than the photo suggests; and I don't care for the cargo pockets. I also find them quite expensive for what they are, although apparently good quality, which may or may not wear well. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase so far.

Devontae Shepherd rocks.
Dionte Evans rolls.
Together they form the twin-terror tandem backfield that could very well put the Cross Trojans in line to win the school's second straight Class A Div. II state championship.
If the 69-0 win over first round opponent Lincoln proved anything, it is that Shepherd and Evans are almost impossible to touch much less tackle.
Evans rushed for five first-half touchdowns and Shepherd three as the Trojans rolled to a 69-0 first round playoff win over Lincoln.
For Coach Shaun Wright, it was about shaking off the rust coming off the last bye-week of the regular season, and being playoff ready.
"Coming off the bye I thought we were a little anxious with the penalties but thought we took advantage of what Lincoln was giving us," he said. "It's always tough getting your team focused when you play a team twice."
Evans and Shepherd traded touchdowns as the Trojans scored on every possession except their last in the first half.
Evans scored on touchdown runs of 43, 23, 18, 74, and 21 yards while Shepherd scored on runs of 21, 37, and 6 yards to take a 50-0 lead into the locker room at the half.
Wright praised his offensive lines for opening up the holes through which Evans and Shepherd ran, and the defense play in the trenches.
"What I'm impressed with is our continued play on the offensive and defensive lines," he said. "We will need them as we continue onto the second round. Also very encouraging to see us finally get some interceptions."
Defensive backs Tyler Middleton and Roger Ravenell picked off the Trojans' first two interceptions of the season.
Cross will face Timmonsville in the second round, the team the Trojans beat last year in the Lower State finals to earn its first trip to the Class A, Div. II state title game in Columbia."
"We have put Lincoln to bed and we focus our attention on Timmonsville," Wright said. "Coach Tate has been around for a long time and is amongst the winningest coaches in the state. They are extremely athletic and fast."
Wright said his team has to be ready. The competition only gets tougher from here.
"Timmonsville struggled like us early but have seemed to turn their season around. We will need a great week of preparing and we will let it hang out on Friday. This is fun times and why you play and coach."
Kickoff in Cross at Ravenell Stadium is at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Statement of Values
Thomas More College has a twofold nature: it is 1) Catholic, and 2) an institution of higher learning. It consequently has a twofold goal: to promote the truth and moral values espoused by the Roman Catholic Church in the context of providing higher education in both the speculative and practical orders. The faculty believes that such a goal can only be achieved when certain values are embraced and conveyed. While an exhaustive listing of these values might be more confusing than helpful, the faculty considers the statement that follows to indicate the way in which these values are interrelated and interdependent within the framework of a truly Christian understanding of faith, hope and love.
Because the College acknowledges the importance in human life of faith in God, it sees the pursuit of knowledge in all realms as contributing to a deeper understanding of God and God's creation. Knowledge, then, is not merely an end in itself, but a gateway opening to the mystery of reality, of truth. Faith informs the process by which truth is sought and underpins the value we place on the practice of academic freedom which seeks to bear witness to the respect with which God treats individuals in their quest to know and live His Truth.
As a Christian community living in hope, the College attaches particular importance to those qualities that bring the reality of the Kingdom of God into the world. The College seeks to develop persons who will be competent in their various fields of endeavor, who will have a sense of responsibility toward their fellow human beings, respect for all life, indeed toward all the resources of the earth that God has placed in our care. The College community, therefore, holds out the ideal of a world in which the justice and peace of the Kingdom can be a reality that we bring to life, not simply an image we wish for but do nothing to attain.
In an atmosphere characterized by Christian love, the College promotes respect for the unique talents, self-awareness, self-fulfillment, and freedom of each person together with tolerance and compassion for their weaknesses and limitations. Because love is not just an emotion or a passing fancy, the College community challenges itself to translate love into commitment and service to others.

New You: Music teacher wins makeover contestWritten by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | email@example.com
When Dawn Lytten, the winner of the Toledo Free Press New You Makeover Contest, walked into Salvatore Capelli Hair Spa & Beauty Lounge, her hair was L'Oréal's Maple Brown. But when she left, her hair was a blond-flecked red that her hairdresser deemed "Boom Chicka Boom Boom."
Lytten, a music teacher at Burroughs Elementary School in Toledo, was one of more than 50 entrants in the New You Makeover Contest organized by Toledo Free Press. Entrants described why they needed to start 2013 with a boost of confidence.
For her entry, Lytten wrote a poem:
"This year's almost over and I'm in a rut
the makeup is saggy, the hair needs a cut./
Watching to see what this new year could bring a boost of confidence might be just the thing./
Look in the mirror and like what I see
makes life much easier, don't you agree?/
I am a teacher and need to get through
the rest of the year, without being blue/
A smile on my face, a song in my heart
this new look afforded will be just that start./
Take that good feeling and share it each day
help make others happy will be my way./
I hope you will choose me, help in my quest
to wake up each morning and be my very best!"
"I thought, 'Oh boy, this could be a good way to get started for the rest of the year.' So I sat down and wrote a poem," Lytten said. "I write a lot of little things for school so that's where it comes from. Music has a lot of poetry in it."
Cindi Britt, who has owned Salvatore Capelli for 12 years, restyled and cut Lytten's short hair. She said haircuts and other services can improve a person's confidence.
"It's definitely a boost. Even every four or five weeks when my regular clients come in, it's like they walk out walking on sunshine. They just feel more confident and happy. [Clients] get their little zing back in their step," Britt said.
Natalie Pohorecki, the makeup artist for "Makeup Monday" segments on "WNWO Today" did Lytten's makeup, which included airbrushed foundation. Makeup can make someone feel more confident about putting themselves out there, she said. Pohorecki, who has been doing makeup for 14 years, said she tried to give Lytten a makeup routine she could keep up with.
"I want to keep it easy and something she'll be able to do every day," she said.
Lytten, who also received a manicure/pedicure, teared up upon seeing her transformation.
"Oh my! I look so good, I'm gonna cry," she exclaimed after the reveal. "Boy, my husband better take me to dinner tonight."
Several community members partnered for the contest. Estate Jewelers donated a two-carat diamond and sterling tennis bracelet. Salvatore Capelli donated products and a purse in addition to the services provided. Hollywood Casino Toledo donated a dinner for two at Final Cut Steak & Seafood. Jennifer Volker, manager of the CHANEL counter for Dillard's, also donated products.

You have to figure parents in Mount Pleasant are a little worried about the state schools superintendent's latest scheme.
Mick Zais wants the South Carolina Board of Education to lift the cap on class sizes in most grades. He says it will give school districts, which aren't exactly rocking with cash flow, some much needed flexibility.
That Zais — always thinking about public education. Well, when he's not trying to figure out some new way to undermine it with another boost for "school choice."
But he's right, lifting the cap would give districts some flexibility. Instead of building a whole new elementary school in Mount Pleasant, the Charleston County School District could just stack 45 or 50 kids in every classroom. Problem solved.
At least until parents decide that's not the kind of limited government they like.
But don't worry, Mt. P — that's not going to happen.
The Charleston County School Board won't let it.
Just business
Fact is, the school board sets its district's class sizes, and most of Charleston's are well below the state limit.
And even if the district had the option of raising class sizes, they probably wouldn't take it.
"I would not be in favor of that," says board member Chris Fraser, "and I don't think a majority of the board would, either."
School Board Chairwoman Cindy Bohn Coats is certainly onboard with local control, but she says there has to be parameters for fairness and consistency.
Basically, she says the state can't just arbitrarily change class sizes without a lot of study.
Well, they shouldn't anyway.
"Until I know exactly how this could affect funding, effective staffing and performance expectations for school-based staff, student performance and curriculum, I cannot support this," Coats says. "Seriously, does any sane person think you can convey the same lesson plan ... to a class of 20 students as you can to a class of 35 students within the same one-hour class?"
Businesses take that into account when they set up training classes, she notes. And don't people want government to run more like business?
Uh, not when it cost them a dollar.
Quantity or quality?
It looks like this whole flexibility thing is a nice way for the state to tell the districts they aren't getting any more money — but hey, buck up. Now you won't have to hire any extra teachers.
Which is unfortunate, since the job here is supposed to be getting South Carolina out of the national education ranking cellar.
Board member Michael Miller says the focus shouldn't be on class size, it should be on effective teaching.
"If a bad coach has four kids or 40, he's still going to be a bad coach," Miller says.
In other words, Miller says, if class size is the be-all, end-all, why aren't the schools in Mount Pleasant — where there are more students — doing worse than schools in less populated areas?
Obviously, they aren't.
Miller says the state should keep the focus on quality, not size.
"I hope the superintendent is looking at that as well," he says.
Zais actually does seem interested in doing that, but the state and teachers disagree on how to most fairly measure quality and effectiveness. So it's a bit of a mess.
Besides, that sounds like something that would cost a little bit of money.
And right now, the state superintendent is most interested in cutting classes, and corners.

The Blues suffered their first home Champions League group defeat in more than a decade as they lost 2-1 to Basel on Wednesday.
Mikel admits that Chelsea need to step up their performance, but is not worried due to the quality they have within their squad.
"With the kind of players we have, with the calibre of players we have here, I don't think we should be afraid of anyone," he said.
"But if we play the way we did against Basel, we have a chance of losing to anyone we play.
"We have to go back to training now and look at the things we have done wrong and try to put it right.
"It's disappointing. It's really, really bad. I mean, it's a very bad result for us. We knew the kind of team we were playing against.
"We knew how good they are on the ball and what they can do when they have the ball.
"The manager spoke about how we had to put them under pressure from the first half, the first minute, and then they don't have a chance to win here.
"But we didn't do that, it's very disappointing. And it's very disappointing to our fans, the way we lost the game. Coming from another defeat at Everton, we wanted to use this game to put things right but we didn't.
"Individually we didn't turn up. Next game we have to put things right and put ourselves in the position of qualifying from this group."

The Willcox has done it again.
The hotel has been recognized by Travel + Leisure, an international travel magazine, once more for offering an inexpensive yet pleasurable experience to its guests.
The publication named The Willcox seventh best inn and small lodge in the United States, and the local hotel is No. 5 on its list as best in the world with a room rate of $250 or less, according to a press release.
"The magazine's recognition of The Willcox for its great value for our guests is especially gratifying to us," stated hotel co-owner Geoff Ellis in a press release. "From the beginning, it has been our goal to provide a luxury experience at a more affordable price."
The Willcox, which is a 115-year-old hotel with 22 rooms, has accommodation rates that begin at $185.
"Travel + Leisure readers are really telling us that our experience in Aiken is as worthwhile and as memorable as a stay in a great hotel in Bora Bora that might have cost them $2,500 a night," said co-owner Shannon Ellis in the release. "It's exciting and motivates us to continue to listen to our customers, to provide them with the best experience and truly understand what they value."
Earlier this year, The Willcox was included in Travel + Leisure's Top 500 Hotels worldwide for 2013 with a score of 94.25 out of 100. In 2012, The Willcox was 32 out of 50 on the World's Best Hotels list.
The publication has praised The Willcox for its Southern hospitality, the historic preservation of the hotel itself and its many amenities.
The Ellises said it's not just recognition of the hotel but also of the Aiken community. They said that Aiken is very welcoming and draws people from all over the world, whether it's for business or for pleasure.
"Aiken is a sporty world with good humor and great friends. It is a tremendous community that draws people, and when they get here they love it," said Geoff. "Aiken has always meant an easy-going elegance, and that is what Travel + Leisure is telling us that we have adopted."
The Ellises stated in the release that they are proud to be a part of the history of The Willcox, grateful for the community's support and humbled by the recognition by Travel + Leisure magazine.
Amy Banton is the county reporter for the Aiken Standard and has been with the publication since May 2010. Originally from Rustburg, Va., she is a graduate of Randolph Macon College.

BELLEVUE, Wash. – The New Mexico State baseball team lost the regular-season finale 7-6 to Seattle U in Bellevue, Wash., Saturday, May 18. The Aggies finish the regular season 28-26 and 13-14 in Western Athletic Conference play and the Redhawks ended their year at 21-33 and 10-16 in league play.
The Aggies started the game with back-to-back home runs as senior Parker Hipp hit a two-run shot to right field, which was followed by a solo shot that was blasted by senior Bobby Lecount to left field. Hipp tallied home run No. 9 of the year while Lecount marked his 14th homer of 2013.
NM State held the lead in the top of the second after the Redhawks put two runs on the board in the bottom of the first. Three Aggies crossed the plate in three times in the top of the second with junior Quinnton Mack getting on with a double and junior Michael Medina bringing him in on a single. Junior Tanner Rust brought in Medina and freshman Derek Umphres, who got on with a walk, picking up two RBIs on a double down the left-field line.
Reliever Trey Higginbotham entered the game in the bottom of the second when Seattle U pulled to within two at 6-4. He kept the Redhawks off balance through the middle innings, working 4.1 innings, striking out two batters.
The Aggie offense slowed down with only three hits after the second inning while Seattle U took the lead in the bottom of the sixth when it scored three runs on four hits and an error.
Seattle's Kyle Doyle was given the win, while Higginbotham was credited with the loss and is now 1-1 on the year. Senior Evan Mott, who finished the game picking up a strikeout, broke the NM State record for most appearances in a season. He ended the regular-season with 31 appearances surpassing Orlando Griego, who had 31 showings in 1969 and Scott Coffman, who made 31 appearances last year.
The Aggies will head now head to Grand Prairie, Texas to partake in the 2013 Western Athletic Conference Tournament, which starts on Wednesday, March 22. The WAC office will be releasing the tournament bracket following tomorrow's game between San Jose State and Cal State Bakersfield.
*Yesterday's 4-0 win over Seattle U marked the 500th win that head coach Rocky Ward has been a part of. Although, 69 wins were officially credited to Gary Ward in 2001 and 2002, Rocky Ward program continues to show success as his team has over 175 wins in the past five years.

All interested:
In another thread on these boards, a poster recently lamented about King's decision to donate the proceeds from 'Guns' to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, writing: "I could not believe that someone that should understand the basic premise of the First Amendment could so decide that the Second Amendment should be trampled upon," before really winding up and delivering this bit: "however that is a pretty bad [argument] imo, and a big step for someone to take that again should understand the dangers of incrementally removing a Right... a sacred right, until it is left in tatters and is no longer a right at all." The poster then goes on to conclude: "You say that you want to provoke a constructive debate, however by promoting that the proceeds will go to a political entity that is very much a member of the political discourse, you are not provoking a constructive debate at all, but instead are chooses sides along political lines in a very political way... for when you have already drawn the line in the sand and chosen your side the debate is already closed." An interesting set of statements, in light of current events.
This got me thinking about the issue of rights and how the notion of Americans having "sacred rights" arose in the first place. It all began in 1775 when abolishionist Anthony Benezet founded the Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage. It was the first first anti-slavery society in North America, and it was fully funded by the Quakers, but received significant moral support from England, France and the Canadas (all nations having recently renounced slavery as immoral and unChristian, although actual laws specifically prohibiting slavery and the international trade of slaves were slow to follow - Upper Canada in 1793; France in 1794; England in 1833). Benezet, who was born in France, immigrated to America in 1731, joining the Quaker commune at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was 18 years of age, and was soon to befriend John Woolman, another Quaker, and together they were soon advocating war tax resistance and conscientious objection to any civil action that was in seeming violation of George Fox's famous oath: "I lived in the virtue of that life and power that took away the occasion of all wars... I told them I was come into the covenant of peace which was before wars and strifes were." For Quakers such as Benezet, the only life worth living was the sacred life; the only religion was deist.
And so young Benezet worked tirelessly to persuade fellow Quakers (and Americans at large) that the slave-trade was not consistent with fundamental Christian morality (though the doctrine of the Bible's Old Testament was clearly not against the ownership of slaves, and the New Testament clearly asserts that both slaves and free persons are sons of God, and thus all part of the body of Christ and spiritually equally even if on Earth they are not so treated). After the events that became known as the Boston Tea Party (1793), Britain cracked down on the colonies by ending self-government in Massachusetts and placing it under the direct control of the British army with General Thomas Gage as de facto military governor. In April 1775, Gage learned that weapons were being secretly gathered in Concord, and he sent British troops to seize and destroy them. Informers sympathetic to the rebel cause warned the Americans of Gage's plans, and a local militia (ironically outfitted, employed and trained by the British during the French and Indian wars, and financed by the burdensome taxes that Boston Tea Party was protesting) was speedily rallied. This militia confronted the British troops and both sides exchanged fire at Lexington and Concord. Gage was appalled, and sped a letter off to the Prime Minister - events were now determined.

A Pakistani man, one of approximately 10,000 people participating in an anti-American rally, has reportedly died. The cause of death? Complications from inhaling the smoke of burning American flags, according to The Express Tribune, a Pakistani newspaper affiliated with The International Herald Tribune ("The Global Edition of The New York Times"):
One of the participants of the rally, Abdullah Ismail, passed away after he was taken to Mayo Hospital. Witnesses said he had complained of feeling unwell from the smoke from US flags burnt at the rally.
The rally is part of protests organized by Jamaat-Ud-Dawa, the political arm of the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba. Protesters are allegedly insulted by America's unwillingness to punish the makers of the film "Innocence of Muslims." The protesters, demanding respect for and tolerance of Islam, threatened to destroy the U.S. consulate in Pakistan if the United States does not publicly hang the movie's producer, director, and "all those involved in the production and release of the movie" (which would presumably include Google and YouTube employees). The protesters also will not be satisfied until the United States makes a "law against blasphemy."
CNN ran a piece questioning the accuracy of the original Express Tribune story. A commenter has helpfully provided a link to that video here and I've embedded it below.
