I am learning so much from this list!
First, there's the fetching hybrid (or halforism?) called the gregueria. The gregueria was invented and named by the 20th Century Spanish writer Ramón Gómez de la Serna. He defined it as "humor plus metaphor," a poetic joke:
The couple of eggs we're eating look like identical twins, and they're not even third cousins.

Thanks vendingmachine! Neither an unintelligible nor a dumb suggestion -- it's on the wishlist to improve! I don't have a date yet.
It's a two-part improvement: one, to make the random words slightly less random in the boring way (to weight them more towards more interesting words) and also to link those "grammatical" definitions to the root form.
Thank you!

"Charlie Loyd and I coined the term ultrastructure, for the cultural, political and regulatory systems around infrastructure, and I wrote these three narratives to think about what my commute would look like with a different ultrastructure, rather than the current default of ceding self-driving cars to private companies and the road to individual vehicles."

"The overlooked word "woggin", with many variants, was widely used by Yankee whalers for both the great auk (Pinguinus impennis) and for penguins (Spheniscidae), as documented in numerous logbooks and journals and at least two published sources. Although in use from at least 1762 until the 1860s, this word appears to be entirely unknown in scholarly literature and merits wider recognition both for understanding early accounts and for its potential for revealing new information about the extinct great auk."

"Cohen found that the term "shyster," slang for someone who acts in an unscrupulous way, was first used in 1843 by a crooked lawyer disparaging his rivals as incompetents. That's what the word meant in British criminal slang, where it appeared as "shiser."
The lawyer used the term in a conversation with editor Mike Walsh, who misheard it and published it as "shiseters." A new word was on the way to being born. Ultimately the word derives from an off-color word in German." The Rolla Daily News

You'll see the same anti-welfare people pushing for student loan forgiveness and subsidies for education and job training. To be fair, these are all good things.

vendingmachine, maggiemae isn't a spammer, she's adding synonyms. Until we have a better way of adding related words, adding them in the comments is the only way.
I'd very much like it if spam was reported directly (with the little thumbs-down icon) instead of with further comments. Actual spammers do not come back to Wordnik to read the comments anyway, and it can sometimes be offputting to nonspammers who simply haven't gotten the hang of the site yet. :-(
So sorry -- had to delete last comment as it was breaking the community page after I deleted the spammy comment. :-(

"FUTURE DAYS is a book about that thing we point at when we say "Krautrock," which is a word that should never have been used and should never survive to the present day. I feel like that truth that the word just stuck and became a practical label isn't reason enough, but the fact remains that there really isn't another word that covers the entire movement.

The contributors are obviously driven to distraction by Zizek's view that the faddish postmodernism that has proliferated in academia is implicitly the most advanced form of capitalist ideology, and that we need to make the "fateful step from ludic 'post-modern' radicalism to the domain in which the
games are over." from Acting Up on Zizek

So many comments about this one lately ... Stand Down, Semantics Nerds
Soring is an abusive and prohibited practice illegal under the U.S. Horse Protection Act of 1970 that is associated in part with the production of "big lick" movement in Tennessee Walking Horses. It involves using chemical agents such as mustard oil, diesel fuel, kerosene, salicylic acid, and other caustic substances on the pasterns, bulbs of the heel, or coronary bands of the horses, causing burning or blistering of the horses' legs in order to accentuate their gaits. These chemicals are harmful, usually quite toxic and sometimes carcinogenic, such that trainers must use a brush and wear gloves when applying them. The treated area is then often wrapped in plastic while the chemicals are absorbed. The chemical agents cause extreme pain, and usually lead to scarring. A distinctive scarring pattern is a tell-tale sign of soring, and therefore attempts may be made to cover the scarring with a dye, or the horse's legs may be treated with salicylic acid before the animal is stalled (as many cannot stand up after the treatment) while the skin of the scars sloughs off. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soring

Inspired from my Pacific Northwest travels, the rural and remote areas of Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, the love of nature and the many moods of the four seasons. Discovering and enjoying remote places from which I've experienced such content and peace, capturing it with brush strokes or camera, it's my wish to share that with you. So, for a moment, ... be still.
A forty-five yr. plus connection with Mt. Shasta in No. California has been the inspiration for several paintings in the " Serenity Scenes" collection. I've backpacked, hiked and camped in the wilderness of this mountain which all began in 1963. with my husband ( then ) and older brother who had come to visit us.
Through the years and many adventures, it's little wonder that some 20 years later and again in that same wilderness, I was sitting at the campfire --- with my son. And the return trips --- continue.

Apparently, the Supreme Court is now in the business of forcing states to break their own laws as long as it benefits corporations and the politicians they control. On Wednesday, SCOTUS blocked a Montana court ruling that upheld the state's century-old limit on corporate campaign spending. So much for state's rights…
A little background: Eager to celebrate the Supreme Court's baffling 2010 Citizens United ruling, Western Tradition Partnership, a clandestine corporation, a sportsman's group, and a local businessman sued the state of Montana to overturn a law banning direct corporate spending on electoral campaigns. A lower court agreed with them, saying the Supreme Court's ruling trumped the state law.
But the Montana Supreme Court said the state has a "compelling interest" to uphold its rationally tailored campaign-finance laws that include a combination of restrictions and disclosure requirements. Unfortunately, the Montana Supreme Court warned that SCOTUS was likely to disagree with them, and it appears they were right.
"The justices on Friday put the Montana ruling on hold while they consider an appeal from corporations seeking to be free of spending limits," according to Missoulian.com.
American Tradition, a conservative interest group dedicated to fighting "the radical environmentalist agenda," originally petitioned the court to reverse the Montana Supreme Court ruling without additional briefing or argument. Thankfully, SCOTUS did not comply, and put a hold on the petition until American Tradition could present a more complete request for the court's review.
In fact, this rejection could be one of the best development's yet in the quest to abolish the disastrous Citizen's United decision. As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg pointed out in a statement that accompanied the stay, "Montana's experience, and experience elsewhere since this court's decision" in Citizens United "make it exceedingly difficult to maintain that independent expenditures by corporations 'do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. A petition for certiorari will give the court an opportunity to consider whether, in light of the huge sums currently deployed to buy candidates' allegiance, Citizens United should continue to hold sway."
This means SCOTUS is eager for an excuse to re-examine and possibly reverse its mistake. Let's keep the pressure on and let them know that we want corporate money out of politics for good!

These big corporations already have WAY TOO MUCH hold over Washington, sending lobbyists with tons of money to spend on politicians, to get them to vote in a way that will benefit them and NOT US. Why else did they fight so hard to become "a person" and to be able to spend as much as they want without having to publicly reveal how much, or to whom the money went to??? They are sleazy, and they care nothing about us or this country. Only what they can get out of it for themselves. Washington AND the Supreme Court needs to remember WHO THEY ARE THERE FOR. IT IS NOT THE CORPORATIONS!!!!!!
Thank you.
I apologize for those two post being so long, but it is important that people realize just how crooked ACORN is and who is helping to fund them against the will of congress.
Thank God for men like Issa that are not afraid to take a little flack and stand up for you and I in making bring the illegal activities ALCORN to the surface.

that the ACORN network is restructuring and is re-emerging in an effort to help re-elect Barack Obama in 2012.
And as previously reported, Obama's new economic stimulus package, the so-called "jobs bill," contains as much as $15 billion for left-wing groups such as ACORN, Obama's former employer. Obama has been using his bully pulpit to demand that Republicans in Congress "pass this bill," even though there is no bill yet. Despite all the rhetoric, the proposed "American Jobs Act of 2011" apparently hasn't even been introduced in Congress.
But the plans call for a $15-billion stash to be earmarked for "Project Rebuild," which would subsidize states, local governments and what Obamas proposal calls "qualified nonprofit organizations" to redevelop abandoned and foreclosed properties. ACORN has been in the real estate development business for decades and would apparently qualify for funding.
At Obama's Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD Secretary and longtime ACORN ally Shaun Donovan has been showering ACORN with federal tax dollars. The grants have gone to Affordable Housing Centers of America Inc. (AHCOA), which is the new name for ACORN Housing.
Rampaging ACORN activists routinely break in and illegally occupy property already owned by others -- and this activity is underwritten by taxpayers, according to Vadum's book.
Steven you appear to be not well read on ACORN, I would suggest you read the following:
09/25/11 at 08:05 AM
The Obama administration has given ACORN spinoffs $729,849 so far this year and may hand out billions more in federal cash to these and other Saul Alinsky-inspired organizations, according to award-winning investigative journalist Matthew Vadum.
"Barack Obama is doing everything he can to enrich radical activist groups at the expense of the American people," said Vadum, author of the explosive new book Subversion, Inc.: How Obama's ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers.
Vadum is a senior editor at Capital Research Center, a think tank that studies left-wing advocacy groups and their funders. His book is the product of nearly three years of research and hundreds of interviews.
"These federal grant recipients are the same left-wing groups that will be going all-out next year in an effort to re-elect Obama," Vadum told WorldNetDaily. "They will be using American taxpayers' money to keep Obama in the White House."
Contrary to mainstream media reports, ACORN is very much alive, though it has changed its form. The shell corporation that ran the ACORN network filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy almost a year ago, but ACORN continues to operate.
As reported in Subversion Inc., ACORN officials openly acknowledge t
Well, we can HOPE that the Supreme Court will reconsider Citizens United, but considering that in their dissent to Caperton v. Massey, the predecessor to Citizens United, the Corrupt Four wrote that there is no need for the chief justice of a state supreme court to recuse himself from hearing the appeal of a $50 million verdict because the $3 million payoff made by the defendant corporation was laundered through the judge's campaign committee.
Montana's court ruling was a long-shot, but the Montana experience is still important to overturning Citizens United... Prior to the law banning unlimited corporate spending in Montana elections, the state was notoriously corrupt and undemocratic until the ban was put in place. One of the premises of the Citizens United ruling was that it would not have a negative impact on the democractic process. The long-term example of Montana plus the quick distortion of our already weakened regular process by a contest among a few billionaire donors easily dispells the argument that Citizens United would not have a negative impact on democracy.
Well, we can't say that this is unexpected given the SCOTUS bias for corporations with personhood. However the silver lining is that in countering the issue of states rights, SCOTUS has also opened up the issue of Citizens United to review. This may be the impetus needed to overturn Citizens United. I also think though that a constitutional amendment to remove personhood, or at least define personhood (excluding corporations), would be wise and should proceed, although at this point with so many Republican states, I don't see an amendment being approved yet.
I wonder if this is one of those "gotchas" that SCOTUS didn't know existed. Thank you Montana for your 100 year old law.
Why do we pretend to ourselves that we are a democracy and we have some say in our government?
It's not only in this particular instance - it's in every major decision about how this country is run. Pipeline? We'll have it, no matter what we do. No more war? The build-up to war in Iran is slowly being fed into the media. Stop rounding up and killing wild horses, and wolves? Hasn't happened yet. Don't cut our social services? We have to feed the oil companies subsidies, so the budget cuts gotta happen in education, health and - - - oh, never mind. You know the drill. We've heard it all. I begin to wonder why "they" even bother. It's going to happen the way they want anyway. BAH!

Comment Re:Somehow I'm reminded of Kirk (Score 2) 114
Not really.
Kirk was in a manufactured no-win situation and the test was therefore faulty: it doesn't matter if you don't know how to lose if you can find a way to still win. Winning is fine.
But this was a paper to test how well he learned his subject. He doesn't want to find out how dumb he is, therefore he cheats. And really that's all this is. It's no more original thinking than working out how to steal the papers or someone else's answers. Someone who finds a different way to steal the papers before issuance isn't thinking originally in any worthwhile and meaningful form. Original crimes are not laudable. They're just original.
Well, that's a complete failure to understand the purpose of the Kobayashi Maru scenario.

Today members of the Oregon offense met the Rose Bowl media, as coordinator Mark Helfrich plus players Ed Dickson, Jeremiah Masoli, LaMichael James and Bo Thran attended a press conference.
I spent most of my time with Dickson for a feature that's running later this week. But the dominant line of questioning seemed to revolve around the contrast in styles between the two teams, whether real or otherwise. Personally, the "size vs. speed" comparison some are trying to make is particularly wrong-headed in the matchup between the UO offense, which is plenty physical, and the Ohio State defense, which is extremely fast, but to each his own.
"What they do works for them because they're in this position like us," Dickson said. "Old or new, they're at the same position we are, that they're playing in the Rose Bowl. We both do unique things and creates problems for defenses and offenses. Whoever gets the least amount of turnovers and whoever's making plays on that day is going to win the game."
Dickson was even asked about the contrast between Oregon being from the West Coast and Ohio State being from the Midwest, and artfully dodged the question, since he's never been to Columbus, Ohio. But this is definitely being framed as sexy, Nike-fueled Oregon against the sleepy, old-school Buckeyes.
"We're not cooler than anybody," Masoli insisted. "Definitely not. We have respect for everybody. They do their own thing, and we are who we are. We're not going to change who we are. That doesn't make us cooler than anybody else; we're just different."
The press conference last about 40 minutes, and Dickson and Masoli got the bulk of the attention. James, a solitary guy off the field, said he was OK with the attention.
"I just stay relaxed the whole time," James said. "It's really not getting to me. I just stay to myself, and I'll be ready for the game. This is a business trip, this is not a party trip."

What is the better choice? Not sure which would be better. Any pros or cons for both?
search the boards there are a tone of these out there
After installing both products for the last two years, I'm still not sure which one I like best.
I love my Talons (if that helps)
Mr T. How hard is it for the person in the back of the boat to cast with them sticking up? I'm afraid it would get in my way.
I run power pole and have for two years no problems port side my son has no problem fishing around it. you will ask your self how did I get along with out one .
I just wished the great attributes of each would be combined into one ........ that way there would be a hands down winner instead of a compromise between the two.
Does the power pole ever get stuck in mud and if so how to you pull it? I have the talon and occasionally I need to use a wrench to pull it up when rocking the boat won't work or the water is too shallow.
2009 H51, 2015 BassCat Sabre, 2001 X18 project
Power pole reason why when talon breaks there not easy to fix.
With power pole everything in the open nothing is hidden.
One advantage to the Talon that is never mentioned is that, unless you have two Talons or Power Poles mounted, when there is even the slightest amount of wind, the boat with the PP will swing around in a larger arc than one with a Talon as the Talon is less than a foot away from the transom while the PP anchors into the bottom six or more feet away, depending on the size PP that is mounted.
2009 H51, 2015 BassCat Sabre, 2001 X18 project
You positioned wrong in the first place if your boat is turned ALL the way around. But feel free to buy whatever YOU want,i never once said a Talon wasn't good.I'll take a Powerpole.
2009 H51, 2015 BassCat Sabre, 2001 X18 project
Remember this also going under a low bridge power pole never have get up out of the seat just drop them keep going with talon you gotta get up and lay it down if you have the right bracket to start with.
From their web site -
Q: What should I do if my Power-Pole is stuck in the deployed position?
A: If your Power-Pole will not retract for any reason,simply drive toward shallow water, and the pole protector valve will allow the anchor to stow. If the anchor still will not retract, please contact a member of our technical support staff for assistance at 813.689.9932 option 2.
hope it is not after 17:00 hours and you are not already in shallow water with an outgoing tide

MTIV: Process, Inspiration and Practice for the New Media Designer (VOICES)
Paperback – 240 pages
|Title link:
|Small cover:
|Medium cover:
|Large cover:
MTIV expands on that. Here he shares his respect and excitement for new media, gives a blueprint for design challenges of all types, taps into the myriad visual and literary inspirations that fuel his imagination, and shows readers how to get past their own moments of "designer's block."
Curtis is a fine storyteller. He takes anecdotes of coffee breaks, book tour lectures, work, life, and art, and weaves them around design maxims. For every morsel of advice, there are three or four personal stories that illustrate how he arrived at it and puts it to use. He shows how books, movies, print ads--just about anything--can be used in the search for creative solutions.
The seven steps in "Process" compose the bulk of the book. These are the exact steps Curtis's design team applies to each project. Without giving too much away, they are Listen, Unite, Theme, Concept, Filter, Justify, and Eat the Audience. (Well, you'll just have to get the book to find out about that last one.)
In "Inspiration," we learn that Curtis draws from Hemingway, Mies van der Rohe, Sidney Lumet, David Mamet, Leonard Cohen, Mark Rothko, and Joseph Müller-Brockman, among others. And the book finishes with a bang in the third chapter, "Practice," a collection of helpful tips in typography, color theory, XML, grids, and much more, from experts like Joseph Lowery (author of the Dreamweaver Bible) and usability authority Steve Krug.
MTIV is not just an easy read, it's fun, warm, encouraging, and, yes, inspiring. A self-taught artist, Curtis has made MTIV the perfect Boy Scout manual for those who have stumbled on design as a new career or just languished through too many uninspired afternoons in front of the computer. --Angelynn Grant

Oregon police shoot and kill bull attacking man
ST. HELENS, Ore. - Police shot and killed a bull Sunday evening as the animal attacked a man and tossed the victim over 10 feet in the air.
The victim, Homero Cortez Ortega, 38, was taken by air ambulance to a Portland hospital with serious abdominal injuries.
On Sunday evening, Trooper Justin Oxenrider was patrolling along Highway 30 when some people flagged him down to report a bull attacking a man in a field east of the highway.
About 80 yards away from the fenceline, Oxenrider could see a man on the ground with a large bull standing over him.
Oxenrider grabbed his patrol shotgun, and Columbia County Deputy Dave Peabody arrived on scene armed with an AR-15 rifle. The two officers ran to the fence line, which put them about 40 yards from the injured man.
As the officers worked on a plan to get the bull away from the injured man, the bull suddenly lifted the man off the ground and tossed him about 10 to 15 feet into the air.
Using their weapons, Oxenrider and Peabody shot the bull several times, causing it to move away from the man.
The man remained motionless on the ground with open stomach wounds.
Reserve Deputy Greg Brody, who is a full time area firefighter, arrived on scene and provided initial emergency medical care while Oxenrider, Peabody and a passerby shot and subsequently killed the bull.

Take Care Of Your Pumps And They'll Take Care Of You
By Jim DeLee, Sr. Member Technical Staff, Fluid Components International
The old saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of care" may have been coined by process and plant engineers tired of repairing or replacing pumps. Pumps are often the most under-serviced pieces of equipment in process automation when it comes to maintenance and prevention best practices. Unfortunately, nothing moves without the humble pump, and a process becomes inefficient when they don't operate properly or completely shutdown. Many times the pump manufacturer is seen to be the problem, when in fact the process or the surrounding equipment configuration is the cause.
Engineers and technicians looking to optimizing their process for productive operation can start with the pump, and protecting the pump against common hazards. Pump protection improves end-product or batch quality, reduces material costs, eliminates waste, and lowers maintenance costs. Taking good care of your pump delivers a positive payback. Here are some simple strategies that can be employed — starting with an analysis of process media flow rates.

10 Reasons to Know Who Stromae Is Right Now
Even in our globalized, internet-crazed world, there are still huge cultural phenomenons that manage to stay localized and cordoned off by geographical barriers like oceans. Stromae is a Europop behemoth with a continental popularity factor rivaling the heydays of Ace of Base or ABBA. Yet, if he walked down the busiest of American streets, most onlookers wouldn't notice anything but his striking figure and impeccable style.
What they are missing out on is a musician with the charisma of Serge Gainsbourg, the savvy of Kanye West, and the theatricality of David Bowie. If you haven't been acquainted just yet, here are 10 essential facts that will help you fall in love with Stromae.
Stromae is from Belgium with Flemish and Rwandan Roots
Stromae was born Paul Van Haver in Brussels. His mother is from Flanders. His father (who was absent during his childhood) was an architect from Rwanda. In 1994, Stromae's father was killed during the Rwandan genocide. Stromae explores his fraught relationship with this father and his subsequent death in his emotionally-affecting video for the song "Papaoutai."
"Alors On Danse" was his spectacular debut
Stromae began his career in the small Belgian hip-hop community in the early '00s. At some point, he started listening to '90s Europop and began to experimenting with dance music in his own work. His first single "Alors On Danse" (So We Dance) was released in 2009. It's a song about being a disaffected worker in the midst of a crumbling economy. In the video, a drained Stromae ends up at a local pub after a boring day at the office. He gets drunk and dances it out with others just trying to forget their problems. "Alors On Danse" reached number 1 in the charts in 15 European countries and is still a mainstay on the playlists of many nightclubs. Kanye West even jumped on a remix.
His lyrics are full of straight talk
Stromae doesn't mince his words. His songs are full of dark social commentary (he jokingly calls his music "suicide dance"). Instead of truth-telling turning off his fans, they are attracted to his candor. French newspaper Le Monde described him by saying, "Stromae is an antenna. He pulls in signals — the crisis, AIDS, the environment, misogyny, Twitter, false richness — from his Brussels control tower."
He defies gender constructs
To quote the goddess RuPaul, "We're born naked, and the rest is drag." In Stromae's video for "Tous Les Memês," from his most recent album Racins Carrée (Square Root), he takes a look at a relationship from both sides: dressed on one side as a man and the other half as a woman. The video has a spectacular set, choreography, and styling and Stromae shows off some smooth, androgynous moves.
His YouTube numbers will shock you (if you're American)
As of May 2014, "Alors On Danse" has 53 million views, "Formidable" has 75 million views, and "Papaoutai" is quickly nearing 150 million views eleven months after its release. For a little comparison, Pompeii's "Bastille" has 95 million views and Disclosure's "Latch" has 42 million views after being posted around the same time as "Papaoutai."
He has amazing style
His "dandy swag" is distinguished by color-blocked bowties and cardigans, printed shirts, high knee socks, and pleated slacks perfectly tailored to his gamine physique. He has even launched a clothing line called Mosaert, "characterized by a mixture of the meeting of the 'English school' cuts, the checker and isometric patterns and the warm colors of the African wax."
He wrote the anthem for the Belgian World Cup team
His song "Ta Fête" was chosen as the anthem for the Red Devils, the Belgian soccer team. He released a humorous video announcement where he stalks the players in order to get them to star in a fantastical music video involving a field shaped like a huge maze, a mother wielding a broom, and a human soccer ball. "Ta Fête" has a beat that makes us go:
He isn't into art
Even though his music thoughtfully blends hip-hop, Europop, French folk, African rhythms, and even Cuban rumba, he's not into having his music labelled as art. In a recent interview with Time Out New York, he's quoted as saying, "Before there was just art, and art is actually bullshit. It's so useless, you know? And next to a father, next to a baker, next to necessary jobs, you see that art isn't really a necessity. That was a big lesson for me."
"Formidable" is a powerful banger
Not your average break-up song, the story of "Formidable" is told from the perspective of a drunken person trying to deal with the loss of a lover by confronting strangers. The mention of a monkey at the end of the song is a reference to an incident where a homeless person on the streets of Brussels accosted Stromae and called him a "monkey" as a racial slur while he was walking with his first love. Stromae has also said that he was inspired by the work of Belgian singer-songwriter Jacques Brel.
He's on tour in the US, Canada, and Europe through the fall
Now that you know the essential facts about Stromae, there's no excuse not to try to see him live. Check out his summer/fall tour dates here.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Central boys open district with win
SAN ANGELO, Texas - The Central High School Bobcats' hot start to the season continued Tuesday with a 61-53 win over Abilene Cooper that improved their record to 19-4.
But the record the Bobcats were happiest about was 1-0.
Central opened District 3-5A play with a big win despite playing without its top post player after Deon Morgan tweaked his knee in Monday's practice.
Junior post Zach Whitlock responded by scoring a game-high 20 points. After Cooper's Maurice Stockdale hit his sixth and final 3-pointer to tie the score at 42-42, Whitlock answered with a three-point play inside to put the Bobcats ahead for good.
"With our main post out, we had to step it up big-time if we wanted to go anywhere this game," Whitlock said. "This was pretty huge. I mean, this is really going to set the tone for the rest of the season."
Cooper had 11 3-pointers, and Stockdale hit one at the first-quarter buzzer to give the Cougars an 18-12 lead.
But the Bobcats' defense clamped down in the second quarter and held Cooper to only four points, allowing Central to surge ahead to a 26-22 halftime advantage.
After Cooper's Derreck Randle hit a 3-pointer to put Cooper back on top 27-26, Central went on a 9-0 run, which was started and finished by Whitlock baskets, and the Bobcats took a 40-33 lead into the fourth quarter.
Stockdale came out firing in the fourth, however, knocking down three 3-pointers to tie the game at 42-42 before Central reeled off a 9-1 run to regain control.
Cooper got as close as 55-50 with a minute remaining, but the Bobcats buried their free throws down the stretch while their defense made some stops to seal the win.
"When Deon went down yesterday, you have those flashes as a coach like, 'Oh my, this could be very, very bad for us,' " Central head coach Jaime Boswell said. "But you know, we didn't hesitate. We told our kids what their role would be, what our game plan was, and we told the kids we had all the confidence in the world in them.
"They had to step up, and they did tonight."
Boswell said he hopes to have Morgan back as soon as Friday's game at Odessa Permian.
In Morgan's absence, the Bobcats rotated in several post players, including Nate Kornegay, who had a solid performance.
"They were big. They played their butts off," Boswell said of his post players. "These guys are focused. They want to win a district title. They want to go to the playoffs. They want to represent Central, and they're finding a way to grind it out and win."
Central's leading scorer most nights, Reggie Sutton, was held to 12 points. He hit only two shots from the floor.
But the Bobcats' depth showed once again. Boswell praised the play of his two junior point guards, KeVann Coney and Adrian Neira, who split playing time and efficiently ran the offense Tuesday.
"We didn't have a very good shooting night, and we still found a way to win," Boswell said. "You can tell our point guards are pretty good. Whichever point guard we put on the floor, whether it be KeVann or Adrian, in my opinion there's no difference."
Cooper's Stockdale finished with 18 points, all of them coming from his six 3-pointers, while Randle had 13, nearly all of them coming from his four 3-pointers.
Central, looking like one of the favorites to win the 3-5A title, will take on the preseason favorite, Permian, on the road Friday.
"It'll be tough at their place. They're very talented," Boswell said. "It's going to be one of those atmospheres that's going to be really good, but our kids will be ready."

Why clean your fruits & veggies? https://t.co/d4PyvC5T
Back in the 1990's U-Mix-It Safe Spray's ® creator, Andy, originally set out to make his home and garden safe for his infant twin daughters and 150-pound family dog. After researching numerous articles, books, and magazines, he compiled a list of easy-to-mix earth-friendly and child-safe recipes and mixed them at home in a few empty spray bottles.
Amazed by their effectiveness and low cost to produce, he wanted to spread the word to others in hopes of having a greater impact on child safety and pollution prevention. The result was the creation of the U-Mix-It Safe Spray® product line. Now more people have access to these easy-to-mix & earth-friendly recipes without having to spend the time researching as he did.
U-Mix-It Safe Spray® is being used by thousands of American households, from coast to coast, and has become a very popular and effective environmental outreach tool used by private, government and non-profit organizations all across the country.

The Academy of Performing Arts in Orleans does a credible job in catching much of the essence of the play. The company's acting is solid from first measure to last, the costumes as elegant as a G clef, and the stage direction by Ray Girardin keeps things moving.
At times, though, the tempo seems more like a slow waltz. One recalls that Mozart was criticized for writing "too many notes," but it is playwright Shaffer I indict here for that crime. Too many words, Mr. Shaffer. The play is one or two encores longer than it needs to be.
This could be called nitpicking, but the 21st century technology employed in the production detracts from a fine effort. The sound effects always end abruptly. We here the pealing of a church clock's bell repeatedly, followed each time by the resonating vibration as the note fades. On the last peal, the sound technician stops it without the final resonance. The same thing happened as we listened to Mozart's playing -- the recordings ended too sharply.
(By the way, the theater's floor has been painted in the same black and white checkerboard for multiple productions. I don't care how much it works for this show's setting and style. Enough is enough! Please buy a gallon of new paint).
As Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Shawn O'Neil puts forward a fine performance. His highly animated character easily illustrates the profane musical genius' with all of his talent and tragedy. He is especially good in the second act as he explores Mozart's demise.
Peter Earle as Antonio Salieri is equally riveting. Doing much of the heavy lifting with the preponderance of the dialog, Earle gets out his lines with very few slips of the tongue. It's a fine night's work and an acting job to be proud of. With characters from all over Europe, the decision not to use accents is questionable. There's almost a plain-and-simple Our Town sense to Earle's and others' readings that take away from a sterling effort. As Austrian Emperor Joseph II, Fran De Vasio is much fun to watch. He milks the most out of comical expressions with bulging eyes and pouted mouth. Also good is James Batzer as Van Swieten, a patron of the arts. With a powdered white wig and dour expression, he is very believable. John Duble as Count Johann Kilian Von Strack carries himself well as a vacuous member of the high court.
Costanze Weber, Mozart's wife, is beautifully played by Lauren Piselli. We see how torn she is for the love of her life, and her struggle to free herself from his drowning lifestyle. If there ever was a stand-by-your-man woman, she is it.
The Academy has a good, solid production whose minor weaknesses should not keep you from enjoying a unique view of classical music's golden age. Amadeus is on the boards at the Academy of Performing Arts in Orleans through April 17. For tickets ($16), call 508-255-1963.

Earlier today, U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, made a surprise announcement that he will not be seeking re-election.
Heres what some other media outlets are saying about Mr. Owens planned retirement.
n Washington Post: Owens is the fifth Democrat and 14th House member overall to announce he wont run for reelection this year.
n Albany Times Union: Until today, the Cook Political Report rated the district as leaning Democratic, even though Republicans outnumber Democrats in it by nearly 56,000 at last count.
n CNN: Democrats need to win a challenging 17 seats to regain control of the House for the first time since 2010.
n Politico: Owenss short tenure in the House hasnt been without controversy. In December 2011, Owens took a trip to Taiwan organized by a lobbying firm, but paid for by the Chinese Culture University. House Ethics rules dictate that travel expenses may only be accepted from an entity or entities that have a significant role in organizing and conducting a trip.
n Syracuse Post-Standard: Owens was the first Democrat to be elected since the Civil War-era in a North Country district that includes Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties. He had slim margins of victory when he was re-elected in 2010 and 2012.
n Glens Falls Post-Star: ...Republican leaders are already coalescing behind Elise Stefanik, one of three previously declared GOP candidates.
n The Daily News: ...Owens district, New Yorks 21st, is a big target for Republicans this year, even though President Obama narrowly carried it in 2008 and 2012. Republican Elise Stefanik, former aide to President George W. Bush, who was already challenging Owens, gets a big boost from his decision.
n North Country Public Radio: Most observers believed that Owens had a strong chance of winning re-election against a divided field of GOP candidates with little name recognition.

The final push towards tech week. Perhaps the most important task for us now is to pick up the pace, closing up all the gaps between speeches and ensuring we blend from scene to scene with minimal fuss.
It's good to be in Stratford now because, while those of us with families will miss them and our familiar firesides, it's good to have just the show on which to concentrate without distractions.
We have much work to do over the Christmas period to get these plays sleek and fit for our opening night in January. The costumes are large, complex and beautiful; the lighting plot is large, complex and beautiful . . . the soundscape is . . . the music . . . the running water . . . the burning flames . . .
Am I whetting your appetite?
Lunch with the bunch
On Tuesday we had a buffet lunch with a chance to meet the people who work in the engine room of the RSC at the Chapel Lane offices.
I talked to Christine, who runs the IT system that is the conduit for the world to interact with what we do here. The ticketing system runs 24 hours a day, and when they have a big surge in demand (Richard II sold out almost immediately tickets were released onto the system, for instance) it is Christine who ensures that the servers don't melt down.
She gets emails on her phone all day and night, sent automatically, to update her with how things are going. Data must be secure, safely backed up, and instantly accessible. She can't improvise and bluff her way out of disasters like we can. She seemed remarkably calm about it.
The final final run So on Friday we had the last run of Wolf Hall in the Ashcroft Room. It must be the finest rehearsal space anywhere; the views down the Avon to Holy Trinity Church can be breathtaking in the autumn mists. The run was slicker and snappier, and we do feel fit to move on now.
On Saturday we started the first of eight technical rehearsal sessions in the Swan Theatre itself. Progress is slow, but exciting, because there is so much to add that will enhance and enable the work we've been doing over the last ten weeks.

St. Anthony Soccer Team Honors Kindergartener Battling Cancer
Published on October 4 2012 6:15 pm
Last Updated on July 14 2013 12:07 pm
Written by Greg Sapp
Senior Night is a special time in any sport in any school. Nice, then, of the St. Anthony High School soccer seniors Thursday to share their moment with kindergarten student Luke Johnson.
Luke, the son of Rick and Jami Johnson of Effingham, is battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He was diagnosed with the illness two years ago and has been in remission since. During a maintenance treatment last week, though, cancer cells were discovered in Luke's spinal fluid. His spinal fluid is filled with 95% leukemia cells and his bone marrow contains 6% leukemia cells. He will require a bone marrow transplant and has already begun aggressive radiation and chemotherapy treatment at Children's Hospital in St. Louis.
In support of Luke's fight against leukemia, the St. Anthony JV soccer team wore orange T-shirts to join "Team Luke". The St. Anthony varsity players wore orange shirts for warmups, but not during the game due to last-minute preparations and to insure no violations of IHSA guidelines.
Orange shirts were chosen as orange represents leukemia.
During halftime of the varsity contest, Luke joined the team on the field and kicked a goal to signify his fight against cancer. Luke was then presented the ball which had been signed by members of the team. He also received a team picture and balloons and a jersey that St. Anthony Coach Scott Demers said would be his to wear when he's old enough to join the soccer squad.
To make the ceremony even more meaningful, Eddie Siemer who was with the Teutopolis soccer squad and is fighting his own battle with cancer, was asked to be in goal and defend against Luke's kick. Eddie is the son of Marty and Lisa Siemer.
Rick Johnson said after the ceremony how appreciative his family is for all of the support they have received during Luke's battle.
