We know how it is. Katy Perry manages to look all sexy-smurf with her blue hair and we all start saying "hey, I should dye my hair some wacky color, too! It will look awesome!" Before you do, remember that these people had the same idea. And they do no look like Katy Perry (seriously, if you want to, make sure you go to a well trained professional).

After decades, possibly centuries, at the bottom of the sea — and a 2,200-mile-long (3,540 kilometers) road trip wrapped in damp blankets in the back of a pickup truck — a barnacle-crusted anchor arrived in Texas this week for a major cleaning.
The men who raised the object from the floor of the Puget Sound hope conservation efforts will uncover proof that they found the long-lost anchor from a historic British voyage around the world.
In 2008, a fisherman named Doug Monk was collecting sea cucumbers just north of Seattle near Whidbey Island when his diving gear got caught on a huge anchor, The Seattle Times reported. Monk teamed up with amateur historian Scott Grimm to study the object, and the two obtained legal rights to salvage it. Last month, the duo finally pulled the 10-foot (3 meters) anchor from the Puget Sound with a crane. [See Photos of Shipwrecks of the Deep Sea]
Monk and Grimm think the anchor belonged to the HMS Chatham, a service ship that accompanied the HMS Discovery on the Vancouver Expedition, a four-and-a-half-year exploration funded by the British crown in the late 18th century. In 1792, when the ship was navigating strong currents in the Puget Sound, the anchor became wedged against a large rock, and its cable snapped, according to historical records. Recovery efforts at the time failed, and the anchor was lost.
Monk and Grimm hired specialists at Texas A&M University's Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation to restore the sunken treasure. After a 36-hour drive from Washington state, the two men arrived Monday morning (July 21) in College Station, Texas, to deliver the object.
The duo, Grimm said in a statement, were confident that the conservation work would uncover markings "that show beyond a shadow of a doubt" the anchor indeed belonged to the British crown, proving wrong naysayers who think the HMS Chatham's anchor was lost farther north, somewhere in Bellingham Channel.
They may be in good company at Texas A&M, where Jim Jobling, who happens to be an expert on the history and development of English anchors, is leading the restoration at the university's Conservation Research Laboratory.

Transforming a vacant site into a vibrant public space and getting people of Dublin involved in it was the aim of the Granby Park project. The park, made completely out of recycled and found materials, was the place for free art events, outdoor cinema & theatre performances, live music, educational activities or a pop-up café. This successful project will be the starting example for similar projects around the world. Now, they are working on an app to help other communities build their own parks.

text: Does anyone own a shotgun made by Norinco? I was looking at one of their 12 gauge pumps, modeled after a Winchester model 97'. I was thinking of purchasing one for my dad, he gave me a Winchester 97' years ago (wish I still had it )... Anyway I was looking at them at Bud's gun shops' site Interstate Arms 12 Ga w/26" Matte Black Barrel/Modified Chok and read a couple of reviews that rated it pretty decent, just wondering if any fellow XD Talk members might have some insight or opinions. I figure for around $300. it would be worth it for a new gun, with the "old gun" look. Any input would be appreciated

Manchester City – Etihad Stadium (Saturday 22nd March 2014)
"City have been playing at the 47,500 capacity Etihad Stadium since the 2003/04 season. It's situated in East Manchester which has a number of decent local bus routes. As well as the normal on-site facilities, there is an excellent fish and chip shop on the opposite side of the road from the away end.
"Although we have only gained two points from our last four trips there, we have enjoyed some famous victories over the years – including the unforgettable 3-2 win during our 'Great Escape' run. That match would be in my top away games ever attended."
Martin Goldthorpe
Aston Villa – Villa Park (Saturday 5th April 2014)
"I really like Villa Park - the ground has been modernised significantly over the years as the club has got bigger, but it has managed to retain its tradition, culture and history. The ground still has an aura of success; you're reminded of the great sides that won European cups, and the famous Holte End towers over you.
"The away stand is nearest the North End which is filled with Villa fans, as you'd expect. The ground holds 42,000 people and when Villa score you can definitely feel the noise. Although the acoustics are not that great as the stadium is open, singing is always loud and there are always some great exchanges between the two sets of fans.
"It's definitely one to see if you haven't been before. A trip to Villa Park is always a pleasure."
Ben Jarman
Tottenham Hotspur – White Hart Lane (Saturday 19th April 2014)
"A brisk walk up the road from Seven Sisters Station and you'll find White Hart Lane sitting proudly; a modern stadium befitting of the Premier League. There's a great atmosphere too, and much better when Mr Berbatov handed us a win there last season.
"You can enjoy a beer and a burger at half time, and hope that three points follow. It's always fun to wind up the home fans by telling them that Arsenal have beaten them to Champions League football when they were pretty sure that they'd done enough by beating us. God bless football."
Billy Murphy
Stoke City – Britannia Stadium (Saturday 3rd May 2014)
"This season's trip has the added interest of one of our former Managers, Mark Hughes, now overseeing the Potters. It remains to be seen whether we can take all three points, but it would be nice to win the penultimate game of the 2013/14 campaign and see the term out in style.
"I have to say, for me, the Britannia is one of the most underrated grounds in the league. It's probably one of my favourite to visit. The atmosphere is always great, and you know that you'll always be in for a battle out on the pitch. That's what away games are all about."
Neal King

The men improved upon their eighth place finish last season, while the women were ninth for the second consecutive season. The Oregon Ducks swept the Pac-12 Championships for the second consecutive season, as the men scored 163.25 points, and the women tallied 173.00 to win the team titles. Individually, Cal saw strong performances from sophomore Shelby Ashe, who PR'ed in the women's hammer, freshman Kiare Tanner, who PR'ed in the triple jump and redshirt senior Derek White, who placed second in the men's discus with a mark of 188-8. "We had a number of encouraging performances during the past two days in Pullman at the PAC-12's," Director of track & field Tony Sandoval said on Sunday evening. "Hammed was our only individual champion, but Kelsey Santisteban, Shelby Ashe and Derek White were in position to win, but were passed late in their events. The Pac 12 is so competitive that every place is contested to the end." On the track, senior Angelica Weaver set a season-best in the 400-meter hurdles final and finished sixth with a time of 59.45. The women's 4x400-meter relay team ran a season-best 3:43.99 on Sunday and finished fifth. On the men's side, senior transfer Milan Ristic grabbed a third place finish in the 110-meter hurdles, clocking in with a time of 13.97. Additionally, sophomore Thomas Joyce came close to hitting his PR in the 1500-meter final, finishing in 3:45.51 (just shy of his 3:45.31 set earlier this year) and placed eighth overall. The men's 4x400-meter relay also ran a season-best time of 3:14.93 to claim third place and close out the competition for the Bears. Cal's relay performances at the Pac-12's were very impressive, as following yesterday's 4x100 time of 39.91 (best since 1987), the team finished in third on Sunday in the final with a time of 40.13. In the field events on Sunday, Ashe set a new PR in the hammer, finishing second with a mark of 206-1, which improved her standing, ranking third on Cal's All-Time Performers List. Tanner placed fifth in the triple jump, and moved herself into a tie for tenth on Cal's All-Time Performers List with a leap of 41-1.50. White, a senior from San Jose, concluded his successful Pac-12 Championship weekend with a second place finish in the discus with a mark of 188-8. White set a new PR on Saturday in the hammer, with a throw of 211-9, which ranks him third on Cal's All-Time Performers List.

Cruise's exes team upTom Cruise's former lovers Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz are to star in a movie together.
Nicole, who was married to the 'Mission: Impossible' actor for 11 years, and Penelope, who dated Tom for three years following his divorce in 2001, are reportedly being lined up to co-star in a movie directed by Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar.

She said: "Pedro knows I love and admire Nicole's work so much. She's a great woman."
Tom is now preparing to marry actress Katie Holmes - the mother of his first biological child daughter, Suri - next month.

Comments about Yoga Mat:
Sanuks are so comfortable! I can walk for hours in them and feel like I just stepped out the door. Fortunately, I live in San Diego, so I can wear my Sanuks almost everywhere I go. Yay!
As much as I love them, there are a couple things I would change... The straps could be a bit tighter on my foot. Even when the flip flops are brand new, my foot slides out too easily. And after I wear them for several months, the yoga mat starts to compress. At that point, they just can't hold my feet in. I always have to take them off before going upstairs since otherwise, I would step right out of them.
Other than that, I adore my Sanuks!!

The Esplanade (from French: L'Esplanade) is an 8.75 ha park in the centre of Rīga surrounded by Elizabetes, Kalpaka, Krišjāņa Valdemāra and Brīvības Streets. The park is home to the monuments to poet Rainis and Colonel Oskars Kalpaks, the Nativity of Christ Orthodox Cathedral, the National Art Museum of Latvia and the Academy of Art.
During the Middle Ages this was the location of Kubes Hill that was levelled off between 1783-1784 to create flat sandy grounds for drills and parades of the Riga Garrison troops. In 1857, when the demolishing of the city walls and bastions began, the strip of open grounds was assigned to the municipality to be built over, while a small part of the area, where the park is today, was retained for military training needs and large-scale public events.
In 1901 the Esplanade became the venue for the industrial, art and crafts, and city development achievements exposition to commemorate the 700th anniversary of Rīga.
In 1888, the All-Latvian Song and Dance Festival was held on the Esplanade (also in 1923, 1926, 1931 and 1933). In wintertime, the Esplanade has always been home to a public skating-rink. In 1884, the Nativity of the Christ Orthodox Cathedral was built here, followed by the Rīga Stock Exchange Commercial School (now hosting the Latvian Academy of Art) in 1903 and the Art Museum in 1905, both erected on the sidelines of the Esplanade. Also when the Republic of Latvia was established, the area remained the venue of Latvian Army parades, song festivals and other mass gatherings. Nowadays the Poetry Day events are held on the Esplanade every September.

Gus decides that he wants to camp out in the backyard for the night. In a series of one liners per page, the story unfolds as it grows darker and darker and Gus has a change of heart. Although the pictures will give clues and there are only short sentences, the words are not phonetically similar and therefore may be a bit harder for beginners to decode. There are 65 words that are basically going to be "sight" words with little repetition. So, this is not as easy as many level 1 books.

I was just going to reference this post in a future article when I noticed several errors and then came across some really useful information which enhanced it, so I re-wrote and am re-issuing it. I was really interested to note that the original article received exactly zero (0) comments in more than six months public exposure. But how many people during that time have made plans to try to support themselves in the Philippines by eking out a living with a P15 an hour Internet Cafe, or some other (frankly) "Bottom Feeding" venture? And, to my valued Filipino readers as well …why are you insisting on selling yourselves so darn short? You think because you're Filipino you can never raise yourselves in less than one generation from poverty to having plenty of money?
Well, you can, Filipino, American or any other nationality. All you have to do is read … and most importantly, DO (You don't even have to speak English).
Have You Seen This?
Here's a picture I'm sure you are pretty familiar with. What a lucky little boy. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth and all that sort of stuff … "if only my kids could have been born so lucky, eh"?
Well would you kids actually have been that lucky?
I don't know.
Here's the thing. On his own, little George owns pretty much nothing and has no real income. Someday, of course, he might become King of England, a job currently held by his great grandmother … she gets a fixed income of 36 million pounds a year for her own use, to pay all her staff and to maintain all the Royal residences she uses.
But George has to wait for the present queen to be finished with being queen, and then Gorge's grandfather (yeah, the one who yearns to become a tampon, with the jug ears), has to have his shot at being king, and then Georgie's dad William can finally earn a salary, for as long as he chooses to be king..
George doesn't really have much of a shot of any actual income for a whole lot of years to come.
Right now the family actually earns an honest (modest) income because George's dad is a serving officer in the Royal Air Force … an honorable profession to be sure and one that will pay a modest retirement if dad keeps on serving. Something actually independent of the "king" business and handouts from the public trough.
I Mean Money Is Money, But Don't Most People Want To Earn _Something_ On Their Own?
But retirement from the military isn't in the cards for William it seems. I just recent read that Prince William will be trading his military duties for more princely Royal duties starting in a month or so.
Well no surprise, really, but I went to see how many years William had served and what rank he had attained, etc. and guess what I found?
The prince is leaving his RAF post in Anglesey because his unit has been outsourced! Yep, even the future King of England can get laid off. Those of you who shape your whole life around "Job Security" might really want to have a re-think session.
Yep, the Royal Air Force figures it will be cheaper and a better deal for the people of Britain to convert the military air/sea rescue service to a civilian contractor. So, sorry, William, here's you pink slip.
Mom To The Rescue:
Well this is all very tongue in cheek in one way, because am sure there will be some sort of allowance for Prince William and thus Prince George. I really don't know how it must feel to be in your 30's or 40's or even 50's or 60"s (yeah, you, Prince Charles) and still be living off your mom's allowance, but hey, I guess any port in a storm, eh?
But what would happen if something went awry in politics and the British people decided they were not going to pay for a whole palace or two of Royals, all sitting around waiting to be come King … maybe some day?
Not as farfetched as you think, because after all it has happened in the past. In fact the queen and her family all use the family name of "Windsor", but that's as phony as any Internet scam you are likely to see. Their actual family name ought to be Saxe-Coburg and Gotha but the present queen's grandfather arbitrarily changed it to "Windsor" because the British people didn't like having a monarch with a German name (and ancestry) back around the time of the First World War. He certainly couldn't change his ancestry, but he could just change the name by royal decree and sort of obscure the facts to people who weren't critical thinkers.
No Matter Your Future Prospects, I Recommend You Build Something For Yourself
Prince William has one very important skill, obviously, he's as qualified helicopter rescue pilot. (Of course he can probably only go to work for the outsourcing contractor at way less than when he was a serving officer). That's how these outsource deal all work, the contractor breezes in, takes all the expensively trained active service officers, puts them on the street and then offers to hire them back at half pay.
Saves the taxpayer money, though.
But if half pay for a remote and often dangerous assignment isn't to Prince William's liking?
Fear not, his wife Catherine has her own "non-Royal family business that instead of begging for their bread off the back of the UK taxpayer, actually goes out and earns real money.
You see little Prince George's "other" grandparents ..the ones who are actually useful and functioning human beings, operate a little web venture which sells party favors and such.
But Is 'Net' Income Real?
"How cute" many of you are saying. "but income from the Internet isn't real income,. is it"?
Well it's a privately held company so they don't have to post formal corporate accounting figures, but informed sources figure the business at being worth 35 or so million pounds … nearly equal to Queen Elizabeth's royal Handout, but in the case of the Middleton's, actually earned in a real business.
So the next time you think that there's no 'real money' online, or think that there is something a little "sleazy" about earning online income, belter think of dear little Prince George.
If his daddy's' gratuitous handouts from the public aren't going to support the family, mom can always contribute a little real-world Internet income to keep house and home together.
What doe this have to do with living in the Philippines you may ask?
Plenty, says I.
Don't relay on getting a retirement income "someday", because "someday" may never come.
Enable or empower yourself today, while things are good, so you won't have to be a man I n his 60's living off his mom's government handout checks, waiting for the day he might possibly have an actual job for a few years.
It can be as simple as http://airmilesmap.com/ I make $100 USD per hour when I work this tiny, simplistic site. feel free to ask me how.
Or you can take a close, critical look at Bumble Bee Linens, were a lady quit her $100k a year job and now makes way more selling handkerchiefs, on-line, from home. Be sure to also look at her husband Steve's blog, My Wife Quit Her Job and perhaps sign up for his totally free six-part course on How To Create a Profitable Online Store.
Or, take a look at this short, 12-slide presentation that explains a little about why I am so "bullish" on ecommerce. Going forward it is a gigantic market, and no "computer skills" or even fluent English is required. Find a need, fill the need, ask people to buy your product/solution.
There is a product sold at the end of this presentation. I say, if this is your first venture into ecommerce, DO NOT buy it (yet). Steve's free course is much better. But you WILL learn a lot from these 12 slides, trust me on that.

The Game will be on Fullcourt channel 695 Monday night 7:00.
I'm just glad it's not on the mediacom connections channel so more than 50 people can watch it without having to subscribe to Clone zone.
im glad its going to be on espn 360
ch 695? Is that part of the sports pack?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
The full court is the espn subscription program of basketball. It has a subscription of about 50-60 dollars per season but there are other games listed also. If you live outside of regular tv market it is well worth it. I have been on it for 8 years.
I beleive it is a part of the sports pack. That cost about $12 but include all the fox sports stations, NFL and others. Some days I feel foundered on sports, but it is great fun to be able to see the Hawkeyes take in the shorts. Hope I am correct on this.
If the game is on ESPNU, then it is part of the sports pack. If it is just part of ESPN Full Court, then you need the season subscription.
the game is on CTV (Cyclone Television Network)
It'll be on WOI here in Ames for sure, not sure about the rest of the state.
Don't confuse hope for a plan.
The athletic department posted this a while back, it's a listing of all the games televised and on what channel they are for different parts of the state

If the word "development" in your dictionary are only all about technical stuff (creating/manufacturing engine, chassis, etc) you're very wrong in every level dude..
Choosing the right parts like what engines, suspensions, etc to use in racing also a part in development..
Pointing the direction of what the bike should be on the next race/season also a part in development..
Just like when Ducati choose to use Desmodromic, just like when Yamaha choose ditch their screamer, just like when Yamaha choose to use big bang, just like when Yamaha/ Honda choose to use pneumatic to beat the mighty power of Ducati engines..
That's where Rossi, Burgess & the gangs are very good at, ask Furusawa! I still believe they can improve the Ducati, and we all can see that Ducati are working like crazy to improve this & next year bike.. Rossi & Hayden are world champions, they know how win!
The 80% ingredient already there (talented riders), now we need the 20% ingredient to work 100% (the bikes)!

First TRUE Hellboy's illustration: Dime press#4!!!!!!!!
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Books, Paper & Magazines
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Jun 13, 2008
- Channel: Auction House
Dime press #4: the first Hellboy's illustration!!!"Dime Press" is an independent Italian comic book publisher: it produced a series of 22 comics on various Italian characters(Dylan Dog, Tex, Nathan Neverâe¦.)!!! It's a very rare Italian fanzine that featured for the first time in the world Hellboy!!! In #4 of this fanzine protagonists are a famous Italian character(Nathan Never) and, for the first time in his first illustration, Hellboy ; cover was designed by Nicola Mari and the great Mike Mignola!!! Dime press #4 has an estimated print of only 2.000 copies and was only available in Italy!!!Itâe(tm)s very rare to find itâe¦..an opportunity for true comics collectors!!! Imagine its value when you cannot find a copy! I remind you that only 2000 copies are avaible(really even fewer because many copies have been lost or destroyed)!!! Take this opportunity before itâe(tm)s too late... A short time ago it was thought that,the first apperance of Hellboy was dated december 1993( Next Men #21 ). Recently in an interview Mike Mignola declared that the true first appearance of this hero was may 1993 in the very rare Dime Press #4 !!! 's the interview: "The Dime Press , if it's the Italian Fanzine that I'm thinking of, is the first drawing of the Hellboy that more or less exists today (stone hand, etc)... The '91 drawing is the first time I used the name Hellboy, but hadn't yet thought of creating an actual series about the character...the character from '91 bears little resemblance to the modern version of Hellboy. Mike." Order of appearance: 1- May 1993 FIRST Appearance of Hellboy : Dime Press #4 (the most rare of the fanzine)!!!Cover designed by Nicola Mari and Mike Mignola which shows Nathan Never and the first Hellboy!!! 2- August 1993 : San Diego Comic Con #2, first Hellboy American appearance and story; 3- December 1993 , appearance of Hellboy in a nationally released Comic Next Men #21 and the first color appearance of Hellboy in a nationally released comic. Conditions : Near Mint!!! It is really difficult to find this in very high grades !! Look at the big and REAL photos below!!! <
Mike Mignola is particularly noted for his highly distinctive style, which was once called "German expressionism meets Jack Kirby by Alan Moore, in an introduction to a collection of Mignola's Hellboy works .While Mignola has heavily influenced a new generation of comics artists since he began working on Hellboy, he was something of an odd man out in the superhero comics industry in the beginning of his career. Mignola's imagery stood in stark contrast to the style of his contemporaries. W others would draw muscular men and slim, well-endowed women, Mignola's characters were usually bulky and rough-looking, and more often than not defined by large shadowed areas rather than fine details. Mignola often takes the same approach to architecture, particularly in Hellboy , w he often sets the scenes in slowly dilapidating Victorian and Gothic surroundings. He also commonly draws machines that feature steampunk imagery. He has been described as "grouchy" by several who have worked with him.Mignola's stories are heavily influenced by, and have been dedicated to,H.P: Lovecraft , Jack Kirby ,Edgar Allan Poe , and other authors . Horror stories of the Weird Tales variety are another important influence . Writer Robert Bloch praised Hellboy as one of the most 'innovative and entertaining comics in recent years'. Hellboy stories have drawn on folklore from countries such as Russia , Ireland , Norway , Japan and Malay!!!Auction concluded : to the auction winner will be sent the form ebay for payment!

Sony shows PlayStation 4 capabilities, but no box
The goal is to make the PS4 so good at figuring out what games and other content you want that it can download it without being asked, so that it's available when you realize you do want it, Sony said.
"Our long-term vision is to reduce download times of digital titles to zero," said Mark Cerny, Sony's lead system architect on the PS4.
The PS4 is arriving amid declines in video game hardware, software and accessory sales. Research firm NPD Group said game sales fell 22 percent to $13.3 billion in 2012. With the launch of the PS4, Sony is looking to attract people who may have shifted their attention to games on Facebook, tablet computers and mobile phones.
Forrester analyst James McQuivey said Sony is missing the point by building what amounts to an upgraded PS3.
"Sony believes the future will be like the past and has built the game console to prove it," he said. "Tablets and smartphones now engage more people in more minutes of gaming than consoles will ever achieve."
Sony showed an updated controller that adds a touchpad and a "share" button. The controller also features a light bar, which means a new PlayStation camera can more easily track the device for motion control.
Dennis Fong, CEO of the gaming-centric social networking site Raptr, thinks Sony's focus on sharing with the PS4 will be good for both gamers and business.
"The ability to capture an image, video or instantly broadcast what's on players' screen to their friends is transformational for the new generation of consoles," said Fong. "Providing them with community tools to create videos and live broadcasts is a cool feature for gamers, and also great for business. User-generated content keeps players engaged with the game even while they aren't playing it and also attracts new users from the buzz generated around this content."
The bulk of Wednesday's event was devoted to demos of games for the PS4, including a realistic team racing simulator, "Drive Club," super-powered action sequel "Infamous: Second Son," artsy puzzler "The Witness" and several first-person shooter games, including "Killzone: Shadow Fall." Beyond games, the PS4 will let people create animation in 3-D using a Move motion controller - all in real time.
Last fall, Nintendo launched the next generation of gaming consoles with the Wii U, which comes with a tablet-like controller called the GamePad. The controller allows two people playing the same game to have different experiences depending on whether they use the GamePad or a traditional Wii remote, which itself was revolutionary when it came out because of its motion-control features.
Judging by Wednesday's event, Sony seeks to improve but not revolutionize game play. The games were updates to existing ones, with improved graphics.
"At the end of the day, this is a device by gamers for gamers," Tretton said. "The games that people go out and spend billions of dollars on are your traditional shooters."
The original Wii has sold more units since its launch than both its rivals, but it has lost momentum in recent years as the novelty of its motion controller faded. Nintendo said it sold 3.1 million Wii Us by the end of 2012. It was a disappointing start for the first of a new generation of gaming systems.
In some ways, notably its ability to display high-definition games, the Wii U was just catching up to the PS3 and the Xbox 360, the preferred consoles to play popular games such as "Call of Duty."
All three console makers are trying to position their devices as entertainment hubs that can deliver movies, music and social networking as they try to stay relevant in the age of smartphones and tablets. The PlayStation online network will have access to Sony's video and music services, as well as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, with paid subscriptions to those services. People will also be able to access Facebook.

If you think its okay to read your wife's e-mails behind her back, think again. You might end up like this man below.
Rochester Hills, Michigan – Leon Walker, 33 years old, is a computer technician who is currently prosecuted with felony under computer misuse aka Michigan statute 752.795. He is currently facing five years of imprisonment.
The said statute thereby accuses Walker of the said issue:
"A person shall not intentionally and without authorization or by exceeding valid authorization do any of the following: Access or cause access to be made to a computer program, computer, computer system or computer network to acquire, alter, damage delete or destroy property or otherwise use the service of a computer program, computer, computer system or computer network."
So how did he end up being sued? Well, here's the story.
(woman reading a suspicious email)
Suspecting that his wife, Clara Walker, was cheating on him, Walker sneaked into his wife's password book. Using a shared laptop, he then used the password to access his wife's e-mail and check some suspicious looking messages. Walker was right. His wife was cheating him. But what's worse is that she's having an affair with her second ex-husband who was once jailed for beating her in front of her kid.
But that's not the end of the story yet. The kid is in fact the son of his wife from her first. Concerned that the child will experience domestic violence again, Walker decided to forward the messages to her wife's first husband in order to protect the child.With Attorney Leon Weiss to stand on his defense, Walker's case will start on trial this coming February 7, 2011.
What do you think? Does Walker deserve to be jailed?

My interactions with Lance Armstrong
It was an interesting experience, given how much I despised drug users, and looking back enlightening. Why? Because it gave me a brief glimpse into why people might have chosen to bury their head in the sand instead of facing the facts presented before them. This continual burying of heads is what kills fair sport. It's not just the athletes, but also the media, journalist, fans, coaches, and perhaps most importantly agents and sponsors. I'm not sure if there is an answer to the problem of doping.
But I would start with a radical departure that might include taking aim at those who control things and have power.
-Doctors- any doctor supplying an athlete be banned from working with athletes in that sport (if an athlete is caught working with him, he gets banned). Work with US govt. to maybe make it a hit on their medical license.
-Sponsors- Right now it doesn't matter if athletes dope to sponsors. If they run well and don't get caught, great. If they get caught, then they just distance themselves and don't take a hit. Create penalties that if the sponsor knows, they get fined X dollars. If a coach the sponsor pays has athletes busted, make it where there has to be an immediate termination of that coaches contract.
-Coaches- Have a rule against coaching drug users. If someone you coach tests positive, have a consequence. If you get to 2 or 3 athletes who have tested positive, ban from coaching.
-Agents- Similar to coaches. Have them take a hit if there athletes test positive.
Basically, create consequences for those beyond the athletes. Just some quick thoughts.

Peg Dolls Summer Adventure with Cardboard Sea Creatures
Have you met the adventurous peg dolls? It's summer and of course they are going to the sea for marine adventures!
Make these fun sea creatures from cardboard and take your peg dollies on an ocean ride.
There are 6 sea creatures – whale, dolphin, shark, octopus, jellyfish and flying fish. Print the template and cut some cardboard, you can create them by simply slotting the pieces – no glueing needed. Parents can help cut them out because cardboard is not easy to cut for kids, they can then draw, decorate and slot each piece together. Slotting them is like a little puzzle. Make the peg dolls (See the tutorial from the previous peg doll page) and give them some swimsuits and even diving gear.
Riding on a dolphin is just the start!
A giant whale!
Sailing on…
For the jelly fish, make holes and thread through some colorful yarns. You can add a pair of flippers to your diver with paper for a fun feature.
The Giant octopus is really fun. So many places to sit on all those arms! Everyone can come for the ride.
Taming a big shark…
Shark chase!
I love flying fish so I had to include one. How much fun would it be to ride them?!
Please read our terms & conditions before downloading, thank you!
A few tips on how to slot together the cardboard sea creatures
1. They are very straightforward, but the octopus could be a little confusing. I have marked numbers on the template so if you follow the order, it should be easy! Slot number 1 and 2 together first.
3. Slot in arm number 3 with the bigger gap at the bottom then number 4 as the last.
Ta-da! Your 8 armed octopus!
For the flying fish, make one long slot in the middle of the fish body and slot in 2 pairs of wings one after another.
There are some under the sea themed coloring pages you can print and color as part of the activity.
I'm now on Instagram sharing some work-in-progress pics of new projects, so hope to see you there too!

The advanced guard

ford, Captain Trimble took his men to a big bend above the ford to

arrived, on her horse with little William at her back and baby Allen in
her arms, she saw some of the guards on the other side. She supposed
they had crossed at that place and immediately plunged into the river.
Captain Trimble, sensing danger, shouted to them not to attempt it but
his voice was drowned by the rushing waters.
The horses of the
two women
were soon swimming in the current and Mrs. Erwin's horse was sashed
a ledge of rocks. With great difficulty, the animal struggled to
get a footing and managed to clamber back to the bank. A huge wallet
thrown across her horse in which two Negro children were carried was
off into the current. A man coming up at the time plunged into the
stream and managed to save the children and the bags.
Mrs. Trimble's horse
continued to struggle against the current with his head turned toward
opposite shore. Firmly grasping the bridle and mane with her right
hand, clinging to her baby with the left and calling to William behind
her to hold fast, she urged her swimming horse forward and at least
to reach the opposite bank. Frightened and anxious, the men lifted
her and her children from the exhausted horse. She sank to the ground,
uttering a broken prayer, completely spent.

orders for the company to fix tents for an overnight stay. Sentinels

many miles, they came upon the mangled remains of the eight horsemen who
had passed their camp at the river. The bodies had been stripped,
tomahawked and scalped by Indians and torn and eaten by wolves. Knox
paused to bury the remains, and fearful of an ambush ahead, decided to
camp for the night. The travelers' sleep was disturbed during the
night by the excessive howling of wolves. Since Indians were known
to be in the neighborhood, it was believed that much of the terrifying
noise was made by the savages. But there was no attack, and the company
marched on the next day.

Patriots Work Out RB Ronnie Brown, Three Others
Howard Balzer reports that RB Ronnie Brown had a tryout with the New England Patriots, along with TE Ben Hartsock, TE Nate Byham and RB Brian Leonard. Brown played with the San Diego Chargers for the last two seasons, and has reinvented himself as a third-down back, excelling at blocking and catching the ball out of the backfield. The Patriots seemingly have great depth at the running...

Donald Brown signing good insurance policy, but questionable use of resources
The Chargers gave Donald Brown a three year deal late Tuesday night as their first move of free agency, and while Brown provides a quality insurance policy for the oft-injured Ryan Mathews, allotting valuable funds to the running back position at this point is questionable. The pressing need for San Diego is at the corner position, and with guys like Aqib Talib and Vontae Davis getting...

Replacing Ronnie Brown? The top 10 free agent running backs
After a calculated move (Danny Woodhead signing) by new general manager Tom Telesco last offseason, and a career year by former first round pick Ryan Mathews, the running back position for the Chargers is the strongest it has been since LaDainian Tomlinson and Michael Turner donned the powder blue and gold. Mathews provides the punch while Woodhead is the elusive scat back the Bolts...

Top 10 RB's in NFL Draft: Bolts find a gem to replace Brown?
The nicest part of the offseason so far has been the lack of concern surrounding running back Ryan Mathews. In 2013, he played through injuries and rarely put the ball on the ground overcoming two of the biggest heels in his career thus far. Running backs are going to get hurt, it is just part of the game, but with the successful spell of Danny Woodhead, Mathews finally is starting...

Philip Rivers reacts to Ronnie Browns game sealing TD (GIF)
Philip Rivers is probably the most animated quarterback in the NFL. It should come as no surprise that Rivers reacted favorably when running back Ronnie Brown broke off a 58-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to seal a playoff win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Say what you want but Rivers and the Chargers were 6.5 point underdogs heading into this one. They will head...

Ronnie Brown seals Chargers playoff win with 58-yard TD run (GIF)
The Cincinnati Bengals were a 6.5 point favorite at home in Sunday's AFC Wild Card game against the San Diego Chargers. So much for that as the Chargers flat out played the Bengals. The nail in the coffin if you will came when Ronnie Brown broke off a 58-yard touchdown run just before the two minute warning. That play was the second after the Bengals turned it over on downs after...

Babyproofing: How Much Will You Pay for Peace of Mind?toddler-times
Like everything in parenting, we used to fly by the seat of our pants when it came to childproofing. Now there are experts.
No, really. I'm not talking about one of those guides on the Internet (although Babble's will do quite nicely if we do say so ourselves!). There are now folks hiring themselves out just so parents can feel a little less like they're putting their precious bundles at risk.
How do I know? A writer at the New York Times did what I wouldn't (or dare say couldn't) – she called them in to assess her home hazards. And at $300 just for the original visit, I dearly hope the IRS will see fit to allow her to write it off as a business expense (hey, she is writing about it).
The exorbitant fees (one expert didn't charge for an initial visit but did come up with nearly $800 in "must fixes") aside, Ariel Kaminer poses an interesting question. We all want to keep our kids safe, after all, but how much weight to do you put toward ruling out "every conceivable risk" (her words) or just covering "the obvious hazards?"
And what these experts consider as those most obvious hazards differed so vastly (read her piece for the whole breakdown) that it makes a parent wonder: I thought I was going for the whole enchilada to protect my kid . . . am I?
In our house childproofing was limited, to be honest. We locked up the cabinet under the sinks in both the kitchen and bathroom – to protect her from all those hazardous chemicals. Locks were also placed on the drawers with the most dangerous objects within (think our cheese grater), and the knives placed on a magna bar high on the kitchen wall. Medical supplies were kept up high enough that no locks were required. A sturdy baby gate was installed at the top of the stairs, the door to the basement stairs kept closed.
That was it. Perhaps we were just oblivious, but I didn't see any other hazards that couldn't be mitigated by simply keeping an eye on my daughter. There were even a few we skipped because the possible mishaps were minor enough that they were worth teaching her a lessons.
True we also changed some of our lifestyle before baby. We got rid of the glass coffee table in favor of a solid piece of wood in the shape of an oval (no pointy edges). We bought an arm to hang the TV up high (added bonus: reduced neck strain!). So much was done less actively, more intuitively. No hot vaporizer – check. No dangling drape cords – well, duh.
In the end, we came down on "obvious hazards" vs. "every conceivable risk" and we were at peace with our decisions. Seeing the results of the experts' visit to Kaminer's apartment, I wonder – do they provide more peace of mind or make you more neurotic?

With the first half of the year (already!) in the books, QSRweb has taken a look at the top menu trends that have shaped the quick-service segment so far.
Some of these trends have accelerated from last year, some were predicted as part of the National Restaurant Association's 2013 industry forecast, and some are making a strong debut.
Maybe the biggest (but unsurprising) story thus far is chicken sandwiches now outnumbering hamburgers on QSR menus. This shift slowly began in 2010 and has a lot to do with the rising cost of beef. Since the New Year, Dunkin' Donuts has added chicken sandwiches, Burger King introduced a Philly chicken sandwich, the chipotle chicken club sandwich returned to Jack in the Box, Wendy's launched flatbread grilled chicken sandwiches and more.
Below is a list of the other top menu trends (in no particular order) that have stood out.
Wendy's new Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger is the company's most anticipated product launch in "recent history." Its artisan-baked, authentic pretzel bun is made using the same process as traditional soft pretzels. Earlier this year, Wendy's also added an artisan flatbread to its offerings. In August, CMO Craig Bahner said, "We think bread carriers are a way to leverage our capability and a way to differentiate."
Pretzel bread has also been picked up as a permanent offering on Blimpie's menu, as the base for two sandwiches at Cousins Subs and to house beef hot dogs for Sonic's new pretzel dogs.
Wraps are also becoming a more ubiquitous sandwich carrier. McDonald's has had early success with its Chicken McWrap, which has even boosted the chain's "healthy brand perception," according to recent research by BrandIndex. Chick-fil-A, Burger King and Dunkin' Donuts have also added wrap options to their menus.
And in April, Arby's introduced its partnership with King's Hawaiian for a King's Hawaiian Roast Beef sandwich. Scott Boatwright, SVP operations at Arby's, said the LTO far exceeded the company's expectations.
"We expected to ship 7,000 cases a week; we shipped 30,000 cases last week," he said, in May.
Bold innovation
The Arby's partnership with King's Hawaiian illustrates another trend — going big, particularly with innovation and partnerships. Perhaps brands are taking a page from Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Tacos success last year. Taco Bell itself spring boarded from that launch with the Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos launch in March. Rita's teamed up with Starburst for a new flavor, introduced in May, and Carl's Jr. and Hardee's rolled out a new Jim Beam Bourbon Burger. Carl's Jr. and Hardee's also introduced a Superman-themed burger that includes six slices of bacon.
But the crown goes to Dunkin' Donuts and its Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich, a permanent item that includes a fried egg and two slices of bacon served between a sliced glazed donut.
Some innovations weren't as indulgent, but are worth mentioning nonetheless. Dairy Queen and Wendy's introduced waffle cones for their respective signature Blizzard and Frosty, while Baskin-Robbins added a mixed berry waffle cone.
Sticking to desserts, Sonic introduced 25 new shake flavors in the spring, including peanut butter and bacon, and peanut butter and jelly.
Rarely has the value menu been in a bigger spotlight than it has been so far this year. A report from Rabobank cited macroeconomic pressures as one of the main factors driving this trend, with constraints on disposable income and falling consumer confidence. David Novak, CEO of Yum! Brands, said offering value is now a necessity because of today's economy.
Since the beginning of this year alone, Dairy Queen introduced a value meal, Taco Bell is preparing for a system rollout of its $1 Cravings Menu, Wendy's updated its value menu to include up to 18 items, Krystal launched a breakfast value meal, Church's Chicken put some marketing muscle behind its value offerings and Subway introduced a $4 meal deal.
Going healthy
A shift toward healthier offerings has been occurring in the QSR segment for the past couple of years, driven by consumer demand. The early part of this year is no exception. For example, McDonald's introduced an Egg White McMuffin, as well as Chicken McWraps — its first offering to include cucumbers.
Carl's Jr. added two premium salads to its lineup, while Chick-fil-A introduced three new entrée salads and new salad dressings. Dairy Queen debuted light smoothies and, for the first time in brand history, Burger King added a turkey burger.
On the kids' meal side, Wendy's expanded its options by introducing the Grilled Chicken Wrap, while KFC launched the Li'l Bucket Kids Meal, with 210 calories and 4 grams of fat.
Beverage innovation
The focus on beverages has intensified, perhaps because they're the "holy grail" of profitability as Dunkin' CFO Paul Carbone described earlier this year. Dunkin' Donuts continues to hold a leadership position in the beverage category, with frequent Coolatta and K-Cup flavor introductions. The brand even leveraged its sister brand, Baskin-Robbins, recently to rollout new flavors inspired by that brand's ice cream — Mint Chocolate Chip Iced Coffee and Old Fashioned Butter Pecan.
Also increasing its beverage exposure is Jack in the Box, which came out with an iced coffee line in June. Sonic put green iced tea on the menu in April, while Cinnabon just added a trio of summer beverages, including the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Chillatta. McDonald's continued to diversity ifs McCafe lineup, most recently adding a Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie and Dulce de Lech Shake.
According to market research firm Technomic, breakfast sandwich appearances on chain restaurant menus increased 8.1 percent during the early part of the year as compared to last year. There still remains a lot of white space in the QSR breakfast daypart and chains are starting to find their footing. TacoTime introduced its breakfast menu in March, while Krystal added a value platform to its morning menu. Popeyes tested a breakfast menu in a North Carolina market with a two-day sampling event in May.
Colorado-based Good Times reported double-digit sales increases after launching its new breakfast daypart. And McDonald's plans to expand its signature breakfast offerings past midnight.
As for individual breakfast item efforts, Sonic added Cinnasticks, Tim Hortons upgraded its bacon supply and Jack in the Box now offers blueberry muffin oatmeal. And then there's that new Waffle Taco in test at California Taco Bells ...
Some limited-service chains have spread their wings into the retail space this year. Whataburger's signature condiment line, including Fancy Ketchup, Spicy Ketchup and Original Mustard, is now available at all Texas and Mexico H-E-B stores. H-E-B and Whataburger also teamed up to introduce Whatafries, french fries cut from real potatoes that can be heated or eaten straight out of the bag.
Baskin-Robbins launched a new line of shelf-stable, sherbet-flavored freezer bars at about 15,000 major national retailers throughout the country. This is the first freezer bar treat from Baskin-Robbins that guests can purchase from supermarkets and drug stores.
And, Cold Stone Creamery has thrown its hat into the chocolate bar space, featuring 12 different varieties for sale online.

Cynthia Bailey's Marriage Shows Strain On The Real Housewives Of Atlanta
January 06, 2014 01:30 PM by Stephanie Gustafson
Cynthia Bailey is involved in her fair share of drama these days! On last week's episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the reality star argued extensively with best bud NeNe Leakes. After making up with NeNe, Cynthia immediately found herself in the midst of a nasty fight with her husband. What instigated this fresh round of bickering?
Looks like there's trouble in paradise for Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas! A number of seemingly insurmountable marital issues came to the surface on last night's episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Number one on the list? Peter's insistence that he absolutely needs his own man cave.
According to Peter, it's impossible to deal with the strain of married life when Cynthia's always around. He suggested solving the problem by establishing a place of his own elsewhere in Atlanta, referring to this home-away-from-home as a viable "escape route."
Surprise, surprise — Cynthia wasn't too happy with this so-called solution. She worried that the creation of a Peter Thomas man cave would only instigate a sort of slippery slope response, thus leading to even worse marital issues in the future. "Married people don't get a bungalow across town. Next thing, you'll be asking for a little hottie on the side."
Upon hearing Cynthia's opinion on the man cave issue, Peter exploded with rage. "You wanna tell me I can't get my own man cave? This marriage is just gonna become a job."
Do you think this argument could point to a very unhappy ending for Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas? Feel free to share your predictions in the comments section below!

Birth Place: Brooklyn, New York, USA
Born Gerald Stiller in New York City on June 8, 1927, Stiller began performing at an early age, working professionally as a stage actor in touring companies shortly after graduating from the University of Syracuse in 1950 with a degree in drama. Stiller's specialty was comic roles in the classics, and thus, made his Broadway debut in a 1953 production of Shakespeare's "Coriolanus." He returned to Shakespeare on a number of occasions throughout his career, including several appearances in Joseph Papp's Shakespeare in the Park productions and the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. During a casting call in 1953, he met Anne Meara, a fellow aspiring actress, and the pair hit it off immediately. The... Continue Bio >>

Washington Capitals (1) vs. New York Rangers (8)
Capitals to add: Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Alexander Semin, Mike Knuble, Mike Green
Possible sleepers: Brooks Laich, Jason Arnott, John Carlson, Semyon Varlamov
Players to avoid: Marcus Johansson, Jason Chimera, Matt Hendricks, Marco Sturm, Dennis Wideman (injury), Jeff Schultz, Scott Hannan, Tom Poti (injury)
Rangers to add: Henrik Lundqvist, Marian Gaborik, Brandon Dubinsky, Brian Boyle
Possible sleepers: Brandon Prust, Derek Stepan, Vinny Prospal, Marc Staal, Bryan McCabe, Dan Girardi
Players to avoid: Ryan Callahan (injured), Mats Zuccarello, Artem Anisimov, Erik Christensen, Ruslan Fedotenko, Sean Avery, Wojtek Wolski, Chris Drury, Martin Biron
Starting with the goalies, the only one you'll want to consider here is No. 30 from New York. Lundqvist has excelled this season and led the league with 11 shutouts. Yes, the Capitals have generally had high-scoring offenses, but this season, the Rangers actually outscored them 233-224. That is almost 100 goals fewer than Washington scored last year (318). Capitals goalies haven't been the best playoff options in recent years, and their goaltending situation isn't always clear, so I would not recommend drafting one of them as a high pick. If you play in a post-season league that allows roster moves to be made once the playoffs start, Neuvirth or Varlamov might be worth a pickup if Washington advances to the second round. For now, Neuvirth would be the goalie to draft, since he is projected to be the Game 1 starter.
On the offensive side of things, Ovechkin had the output of his career, with 32 goals and 85 points. It was only the second time in his six years he failed to notch 100 points, and the first time he did not score at least 46 goals. That being said, he is still one of the best scorers in the game. In his 28 career playoff games, Ovie has 20 goals and 40 points. Backstrom and Semin are also must-drafts for offense. The second line and beyond for the Caps is a mixed bag. Mike Knuble and Brooks Laich are solid additions, but Marcus Johansson, Jason Chimera, and Matt Hendricks could be good or but could also be busts.
For the Rangers, five players scored at least 20 goals (Dubinsky, Gaborik, Callahan, Boyle and Stepan). Boyle and Stepan will probably be available in most leagues, unless they are very deep ones. Prust scored five shorthanded goals and racked up 160 penalty minutes, so he can help in other areas. Prospal (nine goals in 60 playoff games) and Mats Zuccarello (who has 27 points in 15 European playoff games) only had six goals during the regular season.
Moving to the defense, Mike Green was injured, but still scored 24 points in 49 games and added 48 penalty minutes. John Carlson did an excellent job this season (37 points, plus-21) and should be considered once all the big names are gone.
The Rangers have Marc Staal (seven goals this season), Dan Girardi (31 points) and Bryan Mccabe (26 points in 51 playoff games) and not much else. Most of the blueliners are rookies, and the five others that could see ice time have combined for just 11 goals.
Prediction: Capitals in 6. Yes, Lundqvist is the better goalie, and the Capitals have been struggling. But they blew a 3-1 series lead last year to the Canadiens, scoring only three goals in those three games. Combine that with the fact that Washington came back from a 3-1 series deficit two years ago against these same Rangers with Lundqvist in net, Washington is too hungry and will find a way to win this series. Lundqvist can definitely steal a game or two, but look for the offense of the Capitals to succeed.
Philadelphia (2) vs. Buffalo (7)
Flyers to add: Claude Giroux, Jeff Carter, Mike Richards, Danny Briere
Possible sleepers: Ville Leino, James van Riemsdyk, Chris Pronger (watch injury status, but expected to return in series), Matt Carle, Kimmo Timonen, Andrej Meszaros, Sergei Bobrovsky, Brian Boucher, Michael Leighton
Players to avoid: Daniel Carcillo, Kris Versteeg, Nikolai Zherdev, Andreas Nodl, Darroll Powe, Braydon Coburn
Sabres to add: Thomas Vanek, Jason Pominville, Drew Stafford, Ryan Miller
Possible sleepers: Tyler Ennis, Derek Roy (if returns from injury), Tim Connolly, Nathan Gerbe, Brad Boyes, Tyler Myers, Jordan Leopold, Andrej Sekera
Players to avoid: Jochen Hecht (injured), Rob Niedermayer, Paul Gaustad, Patrick Kaleta, Cody McCormick, Steve Montador, Jhonas Enroth
Starting with the goalies, Buffalo wins here. Despite a dropoff form last season, Ryan Miller was still very effective (34-22-8, 2.59 GAA, .916 SV%). Not only is the Flyers situation unclear with three goalies in the mix, but the potential starter, Sergei Bobrovsky, has never appeared in a playoff game. You never want to draft a playoff goalie that could be yanked after one bad game and never seen again, so I'd avoid Flyers goalies.
Defensively, the Flyers have the clear advantage. Everyone knows what Chris Pronger brings. Matt Carle and Kimmo Timonen had very good regular seasons, as did Andrej Meszaros. They all had 30+ points and two of the three were a plus-30. The Sabres have Tyler Myers and Jordan Leopold, neither who has ever been a factor in the playoffs.
Mike Richards (43 points in 52 games) leads a talented core of offensive stars. Giroux had 21 points in last years playoffs alone, and Briere (87 points in 86 games) had 30 points in the Flyers run to the finals last season. Despite just 19 points in 41 playoff games, Carter is still worth a pickup. There's not many offensive guys on the Flyers I'd avoid, but something tells me Kris Versteeg, who didn't have a strong season since the Flyers acquired him, won't be much of a factor in the playoffs.
The Sabres have three wingers worth drafting in Vanek, Pominville and Stafford (despite only four career playoff points in 13 games). Ennis, Roy, and Connolly have put up solid playoff numbers, so they could be considered in later rounds. Jochen Hecht (injured) and Rob Niedermayer (defensive presence only) definitely need to be avoided.
Prediction: Flyers in 5. As good as Ryan Miller is, the Flyers have too much depth that the Sabres can't compete with. They still have the core of last years team intact, and got better. Despite stumbling to a 5-10 record down the stretch, the Flyers should win this one in five games.

|Lady Dragon basketball ready for a challenge
|Written by Darci Tomky
|Tuesday, 29 November 2011 20:33
For the Holyoke Lady Dragon basketball team, the outlook is bright as they kick off the 2011-12 winter basketball season this week.
"With five returning letterwinners and a good solid cast of talented up-and-coming players, the Lady Dragons look to be competitive this year," said coach Arlan Scholl. "As always, our league and district tournament will be tough competition, but these girls have always worked hard to meet the challenges."
Scholl, who has coached HHS girls' basketball for 11 years, said the team is instituting a new offensive system, and they look forward to implementing it this season.
"Speed and pushing the ball up the court is still one of our main objectives," he noted. Four of the five 2010-11 starters graduated last year, so it may take some time to completely gel as a team, said Scholl, but everyone is working hard in practice. The Lady Dragons have a good balance of size and speed, with four players all around the six-foot level.
Returning letterwinners for the HHS girls' basketball team include seniors KrisAnna Ham and Laura Gerk, juniors Chandler Gerk and Erin Vieselmeyer and sophomore Maddie King.

"We have created a tradition of quality girls' basketball here in Holyoke with seven appearances in the State Tournament in the past eight years and hope to continue to build on that success this season," said Scholl. "We continue to have the greatest fans in the area and look forward to seeing and hearing you at all of the games."
Joining Scholl on the coaching staff are Kate Shoemaker and Harvey Eurich. Rachel Schneider will serve as student manager.
Twenty-nine girls have spent the last few weeks gearing up for their first game in Haxtun Friday, Dec. 2 with games beginning at 4 p.m. The next day they travel to Idalia for 3 p.m. games.
A girls' C team game is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 5 in Imperial, Neb.
The Lady Dragons' home opener is set for Friday, Dec. 9 when the girls face Yuma at 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10 is another home match against Brush beginning at 4 p.m.

RAINN has also assisted the university with events, and GWU takes part in RAINN Day, an annual program to educate college students about sexual assault prevention and recovery.
George Washington University has made a big commitment to community service. On September 11 last year, first lady Michelle Obama challenged GW students, faculty and staff to complete 100,000 hours of community service, and promised to be this year's commencement speaker if they succeeded by the end of the spring semester. They did, and the first lady kept her promise, delivering the university's commencement address earlier this month.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), India's top crime-fighting agency, arrested Sudhir Kumar Jain, the chairman of mid-sized state-run lender Syndicate Bank Ltd earlier this month over allegations of taking bribes to grant loan extensions to Bhushan Steel.
Bhushan Steel said last Thursday that Managing Director Neeraj Singal had surrendered to the CBI to participate in the investigation.
Bhushan Steel denies wrongdoing in the case, which has raised concerns about its day-to-day functioning and ability to manage net debts of $5.86 billion - eight times its equity market value of $732 million.
"As of date, there is no bad loan," Finance Director Nittin Johari said. "We are in talks with the banks."
Johari said he expected clarity after a meeting of lenders including, Punjab National Bank (PNB) and the State Bank of India (SBI), on Aug. 18.
"All depends upon the banks, what they decide, how they are going to support. Because everything is not on the company's hands," Johari said by phone. "They are supporting the company but let's see. After the meeting everything is going to be clear."
The company's stock has more than halved in the past month, compared with a 3 percent rise in the broader index.
Separately, Bhushan Steel said on Tuesday that it had posted a quarterly loss and that its board had approved the issue of securities to raise up to $1 billion.
