Q&A with Frank Deford
Frank Deford might be the finest sports writer who has ever lived. A six-time U.S. sports writer of the year, Deford has written in every medium (newspapers, magazines, plays, movies, television, radio and books) and is best known for his work as a writer at Sports Illustrated, a reporter for HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel and commentator on National Public Radio's Morning Edition. And the 69-year-old native of Baltimore remains a force, writing his 10th book last year and recently completing a play about dementia that he hopes finds a home in the next year. Deford speaks at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg's Campus Activities Center (corner of Second Street S and Sixth Avenue S in downtown St. Petersburg) at 7 on Wednesday, Feb. 20. The event is free and open to the public.
Here's my chat with him earlier this week:
With the Internet these days and ESPN bombarding us with sports news, how has sports writing changed?
I think you put your finger on it — the Internet and ESPN have changed it dramatically. Sports is a much more argumentative thing now. It's always been fun to argue about sports, that's the nub of sports. But now everything has to have a point, a winner, someone who is right, someone who is wrong. The art of sports writing, the craft of telling a story has changed. And now with ESPN, the number of games we are exposed to is simply overwhelming. Today, newspapers have to cover and fill space with actual games. Go back 50 years and there weren't as many games. So newspapers had to fill space with feature stories. Today, the agate type alone overwhelms the newspaper. Also, writing has been terribly influenced by talk radio and the talk-radio mentality.
What do you think of blogs?
I don't understand blogs. People used to write to make money, no? You didn't give it away. I have nothing against blogs. I don't have a problem with them. But it's like, "What are you doing? Why aren't you working?'' Then again, from another point of view, anybody who is writing anything — whether it's for one other person or just themselves or for millions — is to be admired. People used to keep private journals and diaries and some of those were turned into classic pieces of literature. I guess a blog is like a journal.
Do you miss the days when you could write really long features for a magazine like Sports Illustrated?
Oh, sure. I was very lucky to come along at a time when Sports Illustrated was an elegant magazine. Some thought it was the best magazine period, not just the best sports magazine. I'm talking better than the New Yorker and the Atlantic and so forth. It was a thrilling time. But as with everything, times change.
If Frank Deford was 21 years old, where would he go to become the writer you became?
I really don't know. I don't think anyone has specific advice. In the old days, you would give The Pitch: You know, go to work for a small newspaper, learn your craft, move up to a bigger paper, keep moving up, and maybe one day you'll end up at Sports Illustrated. I wouldn't even know what kind of advice to give today. Those traditional opportunities are gone. I think you have to be 21 or 22 to understand. They are the ones on the frontline now and probably understand the landscape better than I do.
What do you read?
I read my local papers, which in my case is the New York papers. I read Sports Illustrated. I go online and read ESPN.com. I look on the Internet, but it's not like I spend my day scrolling through the Seattle Times to see every story they have that day. Some people send me books, most of which are dreadful.
Yes, most sports books are dreadful. It's usually about an athlete written by an athlete "as told to''' by a writer. And there's nothing much to them. Of course, this isn't new. It has been that way forever. Most of my time is spent reading nonsports.
Does working on Real Sports give you the outlet to do the longer in-depth features that you used to do for magazines?
Yes, that's exactly it. The difference is that now I'm working with a television crew instead of being the lone cowboy out to do it on my own. One of my favorite pieces was the one I did on a guy from your back yard — Lou Piniella.
What was it about Lou?
Well, the whole angle of him going to the Cubs made that story. If he were still with the Devil Rays, I don't think the story is as compelling. And I just find Lou to be an interesting man. He's intense, but is intelligent. He has a temper, but has a great sense of humor. And I also knew that the story would play well on television with some of Lou's antics of throwing bases and so forth.
Who are some of the favorite athletes you've covered?
Coaches to me are more interesting than players. Most great athletes are young and the most interesting thing about them is that they can do amazing things with their bodies. But they don't have much life experience, nor should they at 25 or 26. But coaches are, well, the grownups. For example, Lou Piniella at 28 wouldn't have been that interesting of a story, but Lou Piniella is now at age 64.
Have athletes changed over the years?
They're richer. So, of course, they have changed. With money comes the sense of entitlement, and they are insulated. They don't have a sense of dependency anymore. They don't need sportswriters. Maybe in the old days, they did. But now? They make $8-million a year, so being nice to the media is going to help them make, what, $9-million? And I understand, too, that they deal with a lot of us. They are besieged by media people. But at the end of it all, you have smart athletes and dumb ones and nice ones and jerks, and when you think about it, it has always been that way.

She has become one of the world's top-selling female artists of all-time, with hits like "Only Time" and "Orinoco Flow" (Sail Away)." But whatever you do, don't call her famous. She prefers the term "successful."
AppealWhile sex appeal can be a very touchy issue and is based on personal opinion, let's be realistic for a moment or two. Enya is not exactly known for her sexiness. We're not insinuating that she can't be sexy, however, it is difficult to apply this type of label to someone who shelters herself from the public in the confines of her own castle for years on end.
In completely unrelated news, Bo Derek, whose year of birth falls somewhere in the vicinity of Enya's, is still looking as sexy as ever in her 40's.
SuccessConsidering Enya would prefer to refrain from being famous and detests being in the spotlight, she has made quite a name for herself. She has become known as one of the world's most popular selling female artists of the '90s. Her total album sales have earned her a top ranking spot alongside other incredibly successful female artists, including Cher, Tina Turner, Madonna, and Whitney Houston.
Her debut album, Watermark, sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and went platinum in 14 different countries. Not to mention she is also ranked among Ireland's richest people. This would probably explain why she chooses to live in a castle, rather than a house or apartment like the rest of us mere mortals.
Enya BiographyEnya, born Eithne Ni Bhraonin on May 17, 1961, spent most of her childhood growing up in Gweedore (situated in the north-west of Ireland). She was one of nine siblings, including four other girls and four boys. All of the children became involved in the music scene at a very early age and became famous in national traditional music circles.
In 1980, Enya joined some of her fellow family members in an Irish folk music group called "Clannad" (which stood for "the family from Gweedore" in Irish). The group consisted of three of her siblings along with two of their uncles.
the clannad clan
Enya, having studied the piano and classical music throughout school, was persuaded by the group's manager, Fachtna O'Kelly, to provide vocals and play piano during the recording of its two albums, Crann Ull and Fuaim. She performed and toured with the group on many occasions, however, she left Clannad in 1982 for undisclosed reasons.
Enya moved to Artane, the northern part of Dublin, shortly thereafter, and shared a house with her friend Nicky Ryan and his wife, Roma. All three had been involved musically with Clannad at one point or another. Nicky Ryan worked as a sound engineer with the group in its early beginnings. In 1984, Enya was persuaded by former group manager Fachtna O'Kelly to devote herself to composing music for films, clearly recognized for her superb musical talent.
She took this advice into serious consideration and shortly thereafter sent her demo tape to film producer David Puttnam, who already had such titles as Midnight Express and Chariots of Fire to his credit. Puttnam immediately asked Enya to compose music with a dreamy and romantic feel for the feature film, The Frog Prince.
enya and the celts
Her next endeavor was to prepare a music composition for a BBC television documentary series titled The Celts. This series was about the history of the Celtic civilization throughout its 2700 years. Enya played nearly all the instruments on the album and sometimes doubled up as many as eighty voices to create a very characteristic sound.
The composition took ten months to complete and included collaborations from Nicky and Roma Ryan. Nicky acted as producer and co-author of the musical arrangements, while his wife Roma wrote nearly all the lyrics. The music was so well liked that the BBC decided to release a selection of her music as a soundtrack entitled Enya. The record climbed its way to number one in the Irish charts, which propelled the commercial rise of this multitalented musician.
Shortly thereafter, Enya signed with an important multinational record company, WEA, and saw outstanding success with her second album, Watermark. The album sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, and has gone platinum in fourteen different countries, with the help of the single "Orinoco Flow" (Sail Away).
Her follow-up album, Shepherd Moons, achieved even greater success by selling over 11 million copies and spent 199 weeks on the Billboard charts in the USA. The album also earned Enya a Grammy award in 1992 for Best New Age Album.
sailing away with her
In 1995, she re-released her debut album, Enya under the title The Celts, and released her highly anticipated third album, The Memory of Trees, shortly thereafter. The latter garnered Enya yet another Grammy Award in 1997 for "Best New Age Album." In 1997, she also released a compilation album titled Paint The Sky With Stars, which included a selection of Enya's better known hits along with two new songs.
After a five-year disappearance from the public eye, Enya returned in the year 2000 with her fourth and latest album A Day Without Rain. The five-year delay was due to the fact that she played all of the instruments on the album and was also responsible for all of the vocals. Once again she collaborated with Nicky and Roma Ryan on the production of the album.
Most recently, the smash hit single "Only Time," from her latest album, appeared on the soundtrack for the film, Sweet November starring Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves. There are talks of Enya performing live for a special TV performance at some point in the near future. The only obstacle holding her back is that she can't play every instrument and sing at the same time during a live performance. As a result, the sound would not be true to its original form. However, she is intent on giving it a try.
Apart from that, many of Enya's fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting the release of her fifth album. Judging by the substantial time delays between her previous albums, we may be waiting for quite some time, but we're sure -- as most of her fans would agree -- that it's well worth the wait.

|Gave a burn on this rig yesterday. Can't decide if using the halfway shakeout to the left of the third bolt is contrived. It seems sort of necessary for the sequence to flow, and even if you opt to go straight up, through very sandy crimps, this hold becomes a foot. Which hold broke?

|I'd say the "shakeout" you mentioned is not necessary. I didn't even think that was on route. The hold which broke is the last small crimp before the final big move just below the anchor.

Hunter Mahan is a full-bag Ping loyalist, and his Nome putter came to the forefront at the Shell Houston Open as he won for the second time this season.
He put the mallet in play just before the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play in February, looking for better alignment in his putts, and then rolled through the field including a win over Rory McIlroy in the championship match. At Redstone this week, he was fifth in the field in Strokes-Gained Putting at 1.612.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Now the latest on the president's moves to deal with the cancellations of health insurance policies and the challenges of trying to fix it.
State insurance commissioners, who will play a big role in all this, met with President Obama this afternoon.
And that brings us back to our series on the impact of the Affordable Care Act, as people learn more of the details.
Tonight, we have the story of a Colorado woman whose current insurance plan is being canceled.
KATHLEEN BAKER: My name is Kathleen Baker. I work part-time in the real estate industry here in Denver. And I have had an individual health insurance policy for the past six years.
I'm insured with Kaiser Permanente. And I have found the quality of their care to be perfect, excellent, in many ways, better than I could have expected.
I'm a fairly healthy person, so, most of all, I go to them once a year for my annual visit. The few times I have needed to see them in addition to that, they have always been very responsive. I was planning to keep this plan for the future. I had hoped that, as had been said, that if you had an existing policy that you were happy with, that you would able to keep it.
I, of course, was one of the millions of Americans who got a letter that said my policy wasn't one of those that I could keep.
"Because your current plan does not meet the requirements by law, you will need to choose a new Kaiser Permanente plan by December 15, 2013, or you will lose your coverage."
They gave me what my options were. They told me in that letter which policy going forward they felt was the most comparable to the one I have had historically. The monthly premium has gone up by 17 percent. That, by itself, really not that bad.
What's otherwise bad is that I had an annual deductible of $3,000. The closest to that is now to have a $4,500 annual deductible. My previous annual deductible was also my annual total out-of-pocket maximum. Going forward, it looks like the maximum annual out-of-pocket expense is going to be $6,350.
Now, that's 112 percent of what my prior amount was. If I add my premiums together with my maximum potential out-of-pocket expenses, I have about a 61 percent potential increase in my health expenditures on an annual basis.
I know that the president and the administration have said — and I presume, if they say it, they believe it — that these plans are substandard. This wasn't a substandard plan. It was a plan that was good for me. Now I have to have a higher-premium plan, a higher potential out-of-pocket maximum on an annual basis.
I don't see how this could be a better plan for me. When I saw that the health care act had been passed, I really did believe that I would be able to keep my health care plan. While I don't like to participate in sort of conspiracy theories, I do believe that because of the economics of how the plan works, they need a number of people who underutilize services, but pay for those services, to go onto the exchanges.
And in order for that to happen, if they cancel my plan, I go onto that exchange, of course, the economics of that is that somebody else who does use health care services more often will be subsidized through me. I understand that that's how it works.
I expected that I would be paying something more. I don't know how we can cover all those who aren't insured without some of us paying more. I don't think I expected a 61 percent increase to my health care costs as a result of this. I think that's much higher than any one of us could have expected.
I have written to all of my congressmen. I am hoping that I will hear back from them. And I have until December 15. And I'm hoping that, at the very least, since they're not going to roll back Obamacare, I'm hoping that they at least go with their promise of allowing those of us that had plans that we liked to keep them.
JUDY WOODRUFF: We checked back with Kathleen Baker, and she says she doesn't know yet whether her insurer will now let her stay with her current plan. Even if that were to happen, she told us, she's concerned the president's action only buys her one more year before another likely cancellation.
We try to fill out the bigger picture again.
And Julie Rovner of NPR is back with us to help.
Welcome back.
JULIE ROVNER, National Public Radio: Nice to be here.
JUDY WOODRUFF: So, it is understandable why Kathleen Baker is upset, 61 percent increase in what she would pay. What is your sense? What's our understanding of the likelihood that she will be able to keep the current policy?
JULIE ROVNER: We really don't know. This was something, of course, that the president tried to sort of plug in last week, as a way to try to at least not, if make good on his promise, at least try to make a little bit better on his promise.
But it's very complicated. He started out saying, if you like your plan, you can keep it. And then it sort of become, if you like your plan, you can keep it maybe for one more year and maybe if your insurance company says so. And then it became if your insurance company says so, but only if your state insurer says so, and now maybe not even that.
JUDY WOODRUFF: So, now, we know — and we just reported this — the president meeting late this afternoon with a handful of some state insurance commissioners. How are they reacting? They have some say in how all this turns out.
JULIE ROVNER: That's right.
And they're reacting kind of all across the board. We really don't know yet. Only a handful of states have really said. But it turns out it's even more complicated than the insurance commissioners deciding. In some number of states — we don't know the exact number, but it seems to be about a dozen — the states have actually written into either their state laws or their state regulations these same requirements to mirror the federal requirements, that after January 1, 2014, insurance companies can no longer sell or renew policies that are not in compliance with these new federal rules.
So even if the state insurance commissioners wanted to say, OK, you can have another year, they can't because their hands are tied by their own state laws and regulations. So it becomes that much more difficult to basically uncancel these canceled policies.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And it's interesting, because it looks as if some of the states that were trying to go along with the president and the health care law are the very states who are now saying, we can't double back and make changes.
JULIE ROVNER: That's right. And there are reasons.
I mean, some of them are practical, that it's very difficult in a short amount of time between now and January 1, to do this. But it's also because they're worried about the risk pools. And I think, you know, that basically the — our woman from Colorado is correct, that, in some cases, they are asking healthy people to pay more to help offset the cost of those sick people.
And they're worried that if it's the healthy people who have been paying less who keep their plans, who keep these plans for another year, that there will be only sick people in the risk pools and then, for the following year, for 2015, insurers are going to raise their rates. That will make healthy people not anxious to sign up, and then you get into that terrible insurance death spiral that we hear so much about.
JUDY WOODRUFF: So, we talked about the commissioners, Julie. What about the insurance companies? How are they dealing with this?
JULIE ROVNER: Well, they have also been sort of all over the place.
I know, in Florida, a number of insurance companies have said that, yes, they will uncancel these plans. But a lot of them, again, have been worried more about the practicalities. They have to go in. They have to send more letters. They have to give people a choice of other plans or of keeping their plans or of going on the exchange.
They have basically spent most of this past year setting up new plans, setting up their software networks. It would be extremely difficult for them to undo all of this in that short a period of time, even if they were allowed to. They have to go back to state regulators. If they're going to offer these plans for another year, they would probably want to get rate adjustments. They have to go to regulators to get permission for that.
All of this, again, is very, very difficult.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And is there a timetable here? Is there a date by which they really have to make a decision?
JULIE ROVNER: Well, if they have canceled these plans starting on January 1, that would be the date. In the exchanges, you have to basically purchase a plan by December 15 in order to have coverage begin January 1.
We're really talking about that short a window now. It's towards the end of November. You have to, at least in the exchange, select your coverage by December 15. That's getting to be a really short amount of time.
JUDY WOODRUFF: So, let's talk about the administration's other big headache, and that is the website, which has been the problem from the beginning of the rollout in October.
There was some testimony on Capitol Hill yesterday, a little bit of new information. What does it look like?
JULIE ROVNER: Well, of course, what we learned yesterday is that there are parts of the website, particularly some of the back-end parts of the website, or they call them the not-consumer-facing parts of the website, that are not basically yet built.
And what they are saying is that these are things to connect some of the payments to some of the insurers, things that won't necessarily be needed quite yet, because, after all, payments don't start coming in until the middle of December or until January.
JUDY WOODRUFF: So, is that — is that something that they're confident can be fixed?
JULIE ROVNER: That's what they're saying, but, of course, they have been confident that all of this could be fixed.
And one of the ironies today is that the website has been down most of the day today. Secretary Sebelius was off doing a demonstration. She tried to get on the website and found that the website was down.
JUDY WOODRUFF: So this — the promise or the comment from a couple of weeks ago that it will be available and usable for most people who try to use it by the end of November, what are they saying?
JULIE ROVNER: That is still what they're saying.
What they're saying is that the people for whom it not be available and usable by the end of November are mostly people who have — not because the website won't be working, but because they have individual situations that are such that they will need to go to specialists. They will need to make a call. They will need other kinds of help.
So, they do insist that they're going to have this ready and running smoothly. But that's basically just a week and a couple of days away from now.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, we are really glad to have you here to help us walk through all this.
Julie Rovner of NPR, thank you.
JULIE ROVNER: You're welcome.

Nobel Prize-winning surgeon Dr. Joseph Murray, who completed the world's first successful kidney transplant, died Monday at age 93.
Murray was pronounced dead at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital, where he performed his groundbreaking surgery, after suffering complications from a stroke, spokesman Tom Langford told Reuters.

He and his team completed the first successful kidney transplant in 1954 on a set of identical twins, taking a kidney from one and giving it to his brother, according to The Associated Press.
Murray shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1990 with bone marrow transplant pioneer Dr. E. Donnall Thomas.

Murray began his career after graduating from Harvard Medical School in the 1940s, and developed an interest in transplanting tissue while working with injured soldiers in World War II, according to Reuters.
He and his colleagues began testing transplant techniques on dogs, removing and reimplanting kidneys, The New York Times reported.
According to the Boston Herald, Murray is survived by his wife, three sons, three daughters and 18 grandchildren.

MMO Blogosphere Review Of The Year 2011: February! Changes to Vote-Kick, Top Gamers, Cataclysm is HARD and more…
February 2011 was a pretty quiet month for MMOs and blogging. RIFT had just released, but aside from that and some minor tweaks to WoW, the big news was still Cataclysm.
But that didn't mean that it was a boring month! From discussion of top gamers' playing schedules to a raft of "difficulty" posts, read on for a retrospective of the end of Winter 2011.
Gaming Affairs: RIFT launches and WoW changes its kick functionality
The MMOsphere was pretty quiet in February, with RIFT launching to quiet enthusiasm, but nothing like the massive acclaim that SW:TOR has seen. (Interestingly, this means that RIFT actually picked up steam over the year, something that few MMOs manage).
Our very own Ross Bambrey posted a detailed first-look at RIFT , and concluded that whether most people would play it depended largely on "if all my WoW buddies do". The Soul talent system was still attracting a fair bit of enthusiasm, with Bootae saying that all MMOs should adopt it , but other than that, things were fairly quiet.
(Now that it's been out for a year, by the way, is the Soul system still considered such a good idea? I'd be interested to hear.)
The only other game-changing announcement – quite literally – was Blizzard's decision to tweak the vote-kick system for Looking for Dungeon. Notably, they allowed insta-kick for people who are outside the dungeon for a few minutes, and they made it harder for guild groups to vote-kick non-guild members. Blessing of the Grove was not terribly impressed by the decision, and nearly a year later it's safe to say that those changes are still somewhat controversial.
In the blogosphere: Top gamers and WoW difficulty
As often happens, it took a few months for the ramifications of the changes in Cataclysm to sink in, and February was the month when everyone really started to notice that, hey, this stuff is hard – and often not that much fun, particularly when paired with LFD or the originally rather brutally tuned Tier 11 raids.
Healers were finding the difficulty of both raiding and LFD particularly punishing, with Wrath's infinite mana bar having been replaced by something that was… significantly less infinite. Ceraphus at Variant Avatar wrote an extensive critique of the pendulum swing in difficulty , citing increasing arguments in groups between healers and the other classes.
But it seemed like everyone was talking about wiping. Screaming Monkeys' guide to Cata raiding used words like "brutal", and said that Tier 11 "means wipes, and lots of it without a real feeling of progression.". Gnomeageddon wrote about why he loves wiping . Peashooter, in a particularly interesting post, was concerned that Cataclysm's difficulty might totally gate out older players with slower reflexes . And in the "arguments after wiping" section, the term "Wrath Baby" was coined to mean "people who still play like it is Wrath of the Lich King", and rapidly attracted controversy .
Eleven months later, it's obvious that the flap was sufficiently large to cause Blizzard's design team to totally change direction – between LFR and massive nerfs to earlier raids and dungeons, it's arguable that WoW is now easier than ever, putting paid to the brief days of viciously hard dungeons and Heroics. And given the feedback they were getting at the time, and the looming shadow of SW:TOR, it's not surprising – a theme throughout this year as a whole has been "what's wrong with WoW".
Meanwhile, the other topic that took the blogosphere by storm was the life of a top gamer. Originally prompted by Kruf's article about a day in his life over at the Paragon blog, discussion then spread through the Pink Pigtail Inn , who felt it was an interesting illustration of how far casual raiders and World-First seekers are, and then to We Fly Spitfires , who wondered whether we should applaud or pity Kruf's dedication. And all of this ended in a great post on SRSBusiness asking just what success is –
"Essentially, success is subjective. Ultimately, we define the conditions of our own success or failure: it's about setting goals and working to achieve them. I've talked a lot about goals here, when working on achievements such as my Bucket List or working on the Gold Cap, or even working on the Shadowmourne questline. The point of goals is to succeed, to measure oneself against his/her own wants. The feeling of success "the rush" when achieving is often the biggest reward. Everyone should have some measure of success if they want to be happy."
Blog arrivals and departures
The saddest news in the blogosphere in February was the departure of much-loved cross-game blog Righteous Orbs (formerly at www.righteousorbs.com). Tamarind and Chastity's loquacious, often hilarious style had been a favourite of the community for years, and their departure was sufficiently remarkable that Beru of Falling Leaves And Wings organised a farewell event for them . Since their departure, the domain name has lapsed and their posts are no longer available, but if you want to have a browse through some of the best MMO writing of the last few years, you can find an archive of their site on the Wayback Machine .
Meanwhile, new blogs were springing to life. Notably, the entertaining Sheep The Diamond , coiners of the phrase "part-core gamer", opened their doors for thoughtful, personal posts from – as you might expect – a part-hardcore, part-casual perspective.
Other Great Posts
- Larisa of the Pink Pigtail Inn gave us a fascinating interview on blogger responsibility and more.
- Runz compared gaming and drinking as part of the eternal "are games bad for children" debate.
- Spinks took nostalgia for older games on in a firey post about Everquest.
*And that's it for February! We'll be away tomorrow, what with the whole "Christmas" thing, but we're back on Boxing Day with March, RIFT, RIFT and more RIFT – and one of the oldest blogosphere voices comes to a close.

Article: The Ninth Amendment: It Means What It Says
November, 2006
85 Tex. L. Rev. 1
Randy E. Barnett*
I. Introduction
The first time one reads the Ninth Amendment, its text is a revelation. Here is a sentence that seems explicitly to affirm that persons have other constitutional rights beyond those enumerated in the first eight Amendments. Given the fierce debates over the legitimacy of enforcing unenumerated constitutional rights, one immediately wonders why one has not heard of the Ninth before. If this first encounter is as a law student in a course on constitutional law, however, one soon learns why: the Supreme Court has long dismissed the Ninth Amendment as a constitutional irrelevance. As Justice Reed wrote in 1947:
The powers granted by the Constitution to the Federal Government are subtracted from the totality of sovereignty originally in the states and the people. Therefore, when objection is made that the exercise of a federal power infringes upon rights reserved by the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, the inquiry must be directed toward the granted power under which the action of the Union was taken. If granted power is found, necessarily the objection of invasion of those rights, reserved by the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, must fail. 1
Not only does Justice Reed's construction render the Ninth Amendment functionless in constitutional adjudication, it rather carelessly runs it together with the Tenth Amendment. 2
But this passage is not only cavalier about the text, it is also historically incorrect. The evidence of original meaning that has been uncovered in the past twenty years confirms the first impression of untutored readers of ...

Second tier French club AS Monaco [2] is eyeing to bring Manchester City [3] manager Roberto Mancini [4] at the club, and it's Russian billionaire owner Dmitry Rybolovlev is set to offer a 170 million pound transfer kitty to the Italian in order to lure him to the Monte Carlo based club.
The Russian, who is ranked as 97th richest man in the world, wants to take French side out of the second division and back to Champions League and he tried to lure the former Inter Milan boss to the Cote d'Azur last year also, the Daily Mirror reports.
Now, Rybolovlev has returned with a stunning new offer of that vast kitty for signings, plus a three-year deal worth 22 million pounds in wages.
After winning the title last year, Mancini agreed a new deal until 2017, but his side is out of Europe, way behind leaders Manchester United in the league and has only the FA Cup to play for this season.
Mancini was furious at losing out to United over Arsenal's Robin van Persie in last summer's transfer window, and it the Dutch striker's goals that look set to see neighbours United regain the Premier League title.
While Mancini insists he retains the support of City owner Sheikh Mansour, their failure to progress from the group stage of the Champions League for the second year running was a major disappointment for the club, the paper reported,
Monaco is poised to gain promotion from Ligue 2 under the guidance of Claudio Ranieri, who only took over last summer, it concluded. (ANI [5])

Okay, so I didn't get my ipad during the holidays. I went to Best Buy and couldn't get anyone to help me one day and went back another day and it was a zoo! After reading on one of these threads there maybe a new one coming out in March 2013, I'm thinking I may wait. I've looked on line and have seen there are rumors of one coming out that will be thinner and lighter. Is Apple going to come out with new iPads every 6 months? I'm going to wait til March since it's not that far away, but won't wait longer than that.

Open Letter to Bill Martin
Dear Bill Martin,
This is the most important decision you will make in your tenure as the athletic director at Michigan. The stadium construction, the basketball search, even balancing the budget ... none of those compare to the head football coaching search.
And now, with the job open 2 weeks, what are we hearing? Brady Hoke. Mike DeBord. Ron English. An interim coach for a year and try again in 2008.
None of those decisions is acceptable. They are not just uninspiring, they are unacceptable. Any one of them would be seen as an abject failure on the part of the athletic department and the athletic director. Michigan is one of the top programs in the country and the job opening here is a dream opportunity for many, to take over a national powerhouse at a prosperous time, not in the middle of a decline. The right hire could launch Michigan into a truly fantastic era for this program.
And yet we hear that we may be considering Ron English, Mike DeBord and Brady Hoke.
Whatever your fears are with respect to Les Miles, they cannot outweigh the simple reality, the proven reality, that Mike DeBord and Brady Hoke are not good enough to warrant handing over the Michigan program to one of them.
There is no perfect candidate. Every candidate presents some danger, some fear. The fear that Schiano was a flash in the pan. The fear that Tedford can't recruit. The fear that Miles will embarrass the program. The fear that Stoops looks the other way on NCAA compliance. Ditto Tressell. Ditto Carroll. Meyer is a negative recruiter.
There is fear with every coach. There are negatives on every coach, and an element of risk. But with some candidates, there is a reward behind that risk. Les Miles is such a case. He has never been investigated by the NCAA. He has never said anything that would offend the fans or the population. He has never done anything to embarrass his university. Has he done something to offend Lloyd Carr? Assuredly yes, but as much as Carr has contributed to the program, his word cannot outweigh the collective thoughts of dozens of dyed in the wool Michigan faithful, ex players, ex coaches and alumni, who know and respect Les Miles and want to see him in Ann Arbor.
You have a committee of advisors. You have dozens of respected Michigan football alumni who will weigh in. When they say Les Miles is good and Les Miles can be trusted with this program, respect the opportunity that he represents, not the fear.
And faced with the choice of Hoke, DeBord, English and interim or Les Miles, the decision cannot be hard.

DocValues are a way of recording field values internally that is more efficient for some purposes, such as sorting and faceting, than traditional indexing.
Why DocValues?
The standard way that Solr builds the index is with an inverted index. This style builds a list of terms found in all the documents in the index and next to each term is a list of documents that the term appears in (as well as how many times the term appears in that document). This makes search very fast - since users search by terms, having a ready list of term-to-document values makes the query process faster.
For other features that we now commonly associate with search, such as sorting, faceting, and highlighting, this approach is not very efficient. The faceting engine, for example, must look up each term that appears in each document that will make up the result set and pull the document IDs in order to build the facet list. In Solr, this is maintained in memory, and can be slow to load (depending on the number of documents, terms, etc.).
In Lucene 4.0, a new approach was introduced. DocValue fields are now column-oriented fields with a document-to-value mapping built at index time. This approach promises to relieve some of the memory requirements of the fieldCache and make lookups for faceting, sorting, and grouping much faster.
Enabling DocValues
To use docValues, you only need to enable it for a field that you will use it with. As with all schema design, you need to define a field type and then define fields of that type with docValues enabled. All of these actions are done in
Enabling a field for docValues only requires adding
docValues="true" to the field (or field type) definition, as in this example from the
schema.xml of Solr's
sample_techproducts_configs config set:
If you have already indexed data into your Solr index, you will need to completely re-index your content after changing your field definitions in
schema.xml in order to successfully use docValues.
DocValues are only available for specific field types. The types chosen determine the underlying Lucene docValue type that will be used. The available Solr field types are:
- If the field is single-valued (i.e., multi-valued is false), Lucene will use the SORTED type.
- If the field is multi-valued, Lucene will use the SORTED_SET type.
- Any
Trie*numeric fields, date fields and
- If the field is single-valued (i.e., multi-valued is false), Lucene will use the NUMERIC type.
- If the field is multi-valued, Lucene will use the SORTED_SET type.
- Boolean fields
- If the field is single-valued (i.e., multi-valued is false), Lucene will use the NUMERIC type.
- If the field is multi-valued, Lucene will use the SORTED_NUMERIC type.
These Lucene types are related to how the values are sorted and stored.
There is an additional configuration option available, which is to modify the
docValuesFormat used by the field type. The default implementation employs a mixture of loading some things into memory and keeping some on disk. In some cases, however, you may choose to specify an alternative DocValuesFormat implementation. For example, you could choose to keep everything in memory by specifying
docValuesFormat="Memory" on a field type:
Please note that the
docValuesFormat option may change in future releases.
Lucene index back-compatibility is only supported for the default codec. If you choose to customize the
docValuesFormat in your schema.xml, upgrading to a future version of Solr may require you to either switch back to the default codec and optimize your index to rewrite it into the default codec before upgrading, or re-build your entire index from scratch after upgrading.
Using DocValues
Sorting, Faceting & Functions
docValues="true" for a field, then DocValues will automatically be used any time the field is used for sorting, faceting or Function Queries.
Retrieving DocValues During Search
Field values retrieved during search queries are typically returned from stored values. However, non-stored docValues fields will be also returned along with other stored fields when all fields (or pattern matching globs) are specified to be returned (e.g. "
fl=*") for search queries depending on the effective value of the
useDocValuesAsStored parameter for each field. For schema versions >= 1.6, the implicit default is
useDocValuesAsStored="true". See Field Type Definitions and Properties & Defining Fields for more details.
useDocValuesAsStored="false", non-stored DocValues fields can still be explicitly requested by name in the fl param, but will not match glob patterns (
Note that returning DocValues along with "regular" stored fields at query time has performance implications that stored fields may not because DocValues are column-oriented and may therefore incur additional cost to retrieve for each returned document. Also note that while returning non-stored fields from DocValues, the values of a multi-valued field are returned in sorted order (and not insertion order). If you require the multi-valued fields to be returned in the original insertion order, then make your multi-valued field as stored (such a change requires re-indexing).
In cases where the query is returning only docValues fields performance may improve since returning stored fields requires disk reads and decompression whereas returning docValues fields in the fl list only requires memory access.
When retrieving fields from their docValues form (using /export handler, streaming expressions or if the field is requested in the
fl parameter), two important differences between regular stored fields and docValues fields must be understood:
- Order is not preserved. For simply retrieving stored fields, the insertion order is the return order. For docValues, it is the sorted order.
- Multiple identical entries are collapsed into a single value. Thus if I insert values 4, 5, 2, 4, 1, my return will be 1, 2, 4, 5.
7 Comments
I don't think i setup my permissions right to edit the page, but i dont know how to best word all this anyway for the recent changes:
For the manu_exact example the default="" can be removed (this is already done in example/schema.xml)
The paragraph "It's important that the fields be populated" can be removed.
Also the paragraph "The default implementation loads everything into memory" can be changed (I dont know how best to word this: the default impl loads some things into memory, other things it keeps on disk): If you want extremes: everything on disk, use docValuesFormat="Disk" ; everything in memory, use docValuesFormat="Memory"
I updated the page with these edits. If you could take a look at the paragraph about docValuesFormat and let me know if I got it right, that would be great.
I think Steve or Hoss can update your permissions, per instructions on this page: Internal - CWIKI ACLs.
This looks great! Thank you
There is a circular reference. The How to Use Doc Values section has a reference to http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DocValues, but that wiki page claims it is outdated and the reader should be reading this confluence page. Please either move the relevant contents from the wiki to here, or update the Wiki page.
More guidance about when one should use DocValues and when should not would be appreciated.
You mean "than traditional indexing", correct?
"returning docValues fields in the fl list only requires memory access." Is this correct? DV do have a part that stays on disk, as this same page says.
Also, the two implications of returning from DV are explained in two sections. I believe it makes more sense int the "Using DV" section, I suggest removing it from the "Enabling DV" section.
Thanks Erick.
The warning can be rephrased as,
"expecting metadata for field 'id' (expected=SORTED) with docvalues as true. Use UninvertingReader or index with docvalues. Recommended to index with docValues for better performance. "

IMO we have not to care to much about compilation time on build daemon because this is a problem at the moment only for coq and not so big problem: remember that build daemon benefit in using native code compilers but they also have to install an additional package (ocaml-native-compilers).

TARPON SPRINGS — The reopening of Fred Howard Park's popular beach, originally planned for this fall, has been delayed until at least Dec. 8 as crews continue to rebuild the mile-long connecting causeway.
It has been more than a year since Pinellas County's northernmost beach closed on Sept. 2, 2008, its two 41-year-old bridges in need of reconstruction. An engineering decision to repave the causeway and beach parking lot while crews were already on site, instead of planning another closure next year, extended the work, said Paul Cozzie, the county's culture, education and leisure director.
Crews finished the bridges' construction earlier this year but continue to repair the causeway's concrete embankments and to install guardrails and handrails. Laying new asphalt will come last and add another $600,000 to the $4.8 million in reconstruction costs, said county spokeswoman Mary Burrell.
After the construction work, parks workers will reinstall toilets, trash cans and bathroom sinks removed last year to deter potential vandals. Depending on how long the restoration takes and the weather — rain could delay repaving — the beach may reopen as late as mid December.
(For the record, the beach has seen no vandalism during its closure, Cozzie said — just birdwatchers and boaters admiring the natural solitude.)
Though the entrance to the causeway is barricaded, the park's butterfly garden, kayak waterways, playgrounds and shelters remain open to the public.
More than 2 million people last year visited the 155-acre park, which juts into the Gulf of Mexico.
Though Cozzie does not expect that the beach will see a grand reopening, calling it a "frill" not easily afforded with the county's tight budget, park visitors on Thursday said having their beach back would be cause for celebration.
"It should have been open in September," said James Browntree, 17, a Tarpon Springs High School student who skipped class Thursday to relax at the park with three friends.
Since the closure, he said, kids his age have turned to Sunset Beach and Honeymoon Island State Park for swimming and sunbathing. But they're not the same.
"This is like the best beach spot," he said. "It's a good place for kids to go and hang out."

The Veterans Association of Ghana (VAG) has been asked to undertake commercial joint-ventures with credible business entities, to ensure profitable utilization of its landed-properties.
A former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Lieutenant General (rtd.) Lawrence Aboagye Okai, who made the call, said the new Veteran law, Act 844 of 2012, seeks to revise the existing law NRCD285. He explained that it is to ensure that the Association did not depend solely on government for financial support but to initiate its own projects and programmes.
Lt. Gen. Okai, a former National Chairman of VAG, was speaking at anniversary parade at Myohaung Barracks at Apremdo on Wednesday, to commemorate the 68th Anniversary of the Battle of Myohaung. He stressed that the VAG's landed-properties at Ho, Kumasi, Accra, Koforidua, Amasaman and other parts of the country could be invested profitably to better the lots of its members.
Lt. Gen. Okai commended successive governments for supporting the VAG with logistics money and said the passage of the Veterans Bill into law last year, would re-invigorate the Association.
He bestowed the heroism of the ex-service men who fought in the Second World War saying, "Of all the battles the Gold Coast Regiment fought side by side with the Allied forces, the battle of Myohaung, in the Faraway Jungles and Monsoon of Burma, are on record as the fiercest, including kaladan and Arakan".
Lt Gen said the two West African Divisions acquitted themselves with distinction and that the qualities, heroism, discipline and patriotism displayed by troops from Nigeria, Gold Coast, Sierra Leone and Gambia won them the laurels that deserved to be celebrated annually.
The 150 men and women in uniform on parade displayed high level of fitness and agility amidst display of the beautiful colours of the Ghana Armed Forces with the Airforce Band providing melodious patriotic songs.
The event was attended by high profile personalities, including Lt. Col. (Rtd) Samuel Ofosu Appiah and National Chairman of VAG, Commodore (rtd.) Steve Obimpeh.
Other personalities were the Unit Commanders of Ghana Armed Forces: Flag Officer Commanding the Western Naval Command, Commodore Timothy Samuel Appiah, Takoradi Airforce Commander, Air-commodore Maxwell Nagia and the Commander of the Second Infantry Battalion, Lt. Col. George K.T Sam as well as the members of Regional Security Council.

PITTSBURGH — Steelers linebacker James Harrison was fined $25,000 Tuesday for his penalized hit on Buffalo quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, bringing his fine total this season to $125,000.
Harrison drew a roughing-the-passer penalty for hitting Fitzpatrick helmet-first during Pittsburgh's 19-16 overtime victory Sunday. "Specifically he made helmet contact to the chest of the Buffalo quarterback, who was in a defenseless position," the NFL said.
The three-time Pro Bowl linebacker previously was fined $75,000 for a helmet hit on Browns wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi, $20,000 for a helmet-to-the-back hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees and $5,000 for a hit on Titans quarterback Vince Young.
More steelers: Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a protective boot on his sprained right foot but is expected to play Sunday against Baltimore in a game for first place in the AFC North.
bills: Guard Marc Dile and defensive back Trae Williams, ex-USF players, were signed to the practice squad. The Bucs released both before the season.
cardinals: Taking exception to repeated questions about why he was laughing on the sideline late in Monday's 27-6 loss to San Francisco, quarterback Derek Anderson went on a profanity-laced tirade during a postgame news conference before walking out. "You think I was laughing about something?" Anderson said, his voice getting louder. "I take this serious! Real serious! I put my heart and soul into this every single week!" Late in the loss, TV cameras showed Anderson laughing with guard Deuce Lutui on the sideline. When initially asked about it, Anderson said Lutui had told him something to keep them positive. Anderson calmly answered a question about a different topic, then started to lose his temper as the reporter asked again about the laughing. Coach Ken Whisenhunt said he wasn't going to read much "into a couple of seconds … you see on video."
Eagles: Receiver DeSean Jackson said he and his teammates are "on to the next game" and downplayed speculation he is unhappy with coach Andy Reid, his teammates or his diminished role. Jackson, on pace for the fewest catches in his three seasons, was visibly upset after Sunday's 31-26 loss in Chicago, in which he had two catches for 26 yards. Reports indicated Reid singled out Jackson in the locker room for criticism of his game preparations. Reid hasn't confirmed or denied that.
49ers: Pro Bowl running back Frank Gore was placed on season-ending injured reserve with a fractured right hip sustained Monday vs. the Cardinals.
Saints: Drew Brees was named Sports Illustrated's sportsman of the year for his Super Bowl win and charity work.
Labor update: If games are canceled next season because of a lockout, people with individual game tickets can get a refund or exchange them for future games, with restrictions, the league said. Each team will determine its refund policy for club seats, suites and personal seat licenses. Season-ticket holders can receive a refund or credits toward future games.

Luke Parslow's "It Is What It Is" Jam
Because of the lack of a dirt comp at the 2011 Dew Tour opener in Ocean City, Md. this coming weekend, Aussie transplant and BMX dirt pro Luke Parslow decided to throw his own event at his home trails in Riverside, Calif. Dubbed the "It Is What It Is" Jam, all proceeds from the event went to benefit Stephen Murray, triple E.T. airs were had by some, and in the end, The Take's Dylan stark took home the first place spot.

Lindsay Lohan wants justice
Lindsay Lohan has vowed her alleged attacker "won't get away" without being prosecuted.
The actress accused Christian LaBella of assaulting her in her Manhattan hotel room in the early hours of Sunday morning. She alleged he scratched and choked her during an argument about photos she found of her on his cell phone.
Although he was arrested, police later dropped misdemeanour charges of assault and harassment as there wasn't enough evidence. Lindsay is incensed that Christian isn't being brought to justice.
"He isn't going to get away with this," she told New York Post.
"I'm in shock and it was a really scary situation."
The 26-year-old star is reportedly asking witnesses to go to the police.
She met Christian in a nightclub and brought him back to her hotel room to party with some other friends.
The evening soured after Lindsay discovered the images, said to have been taken during the evening out.
Christian works for Republican politician John Shimkus and his family are concerned about the effect the furore could have on his career.
"He doesn't deserve this. It's amazing that her mom said, 'Thank God he didn't have a weapon' - of course he didn't have a weapon. He's a good kid, he's worked for two congressmen. He just went to New York for the weekend. Hopefully this doesn't cost him his job," his uncle Peter Jessop said.

Health facts are important. Some of these facts, however, can be discouraging. What would happen if we focused on healthy community activities?— Healthy Portraits does just that.
Healthy Portraits highlights healthy success stories through photography and storytelling. It is a way to celebrate communities making positive changes towards wellness. This project is different in two ways—1) it focuses on healthy change, and 2) it returns the photos back to the communities.
This project is funded by OMH grant number AIAMP120014.
We find Alaska health stories that inspire, motivate, and bring communties together.
To photograph the story, we travel to each community at least twice.
On the last visit, we return the photos to celebrate their success stories of health.
The Alaska Native EpiCenter partnered with the Tyonek Tribal Conservation District (TTCD) to tell the story of the amazing community garden in the Native Village of Tyonek.
Elders in the community had been gardening for years, but it was fading. Aimed at providing fresh organic vegtables and enhancing food security, the village made it a priority in 2008 to start growing local vegetables.
The 1.5 acre garden, now in it's fourth year, runs entirely on renewable energy, using solar-powered irrigation and ventilation systems. Two high tunnel greenhouses greatly extend the growing season.
Every year, students from the Tebughna School are heavily involved in everything from caring for seedlings to watering and weeding to harvesting produce. Four youth workers were also employed over the summer to help with garden tasks, running farmers markets and delivering food to local Elders.
ANTHC EpiCenter staff visited the garden over the summer to photograph the garden blessing, cooking demonstrations, and harvests. Here is the photographic story of the Tyonek garden and the community members who made it happen!
NANANordic's goal is to introduce the lifetime sport of cross-country skiing to rural Alaska starting with villages in the NANA region.
In April 2013, 1,500 students were introduced to skate skiing in the 11 villages making up the NANA region. Additionally, NANANoridic visited White Mountain in the Bering Strait Region and Anaktuvuk Pass in the North Slope Region. –source: nananordic.com
Alaska Native EpiCenter staff traveled with NANANordic to the villages of Noatak and Shungnak to photograph NANANordic coaches and their students learning to cross country ski.
In August of 2013, they returned to give the photos back to the communities where they are permanently displayed. The hope is that the photos will continue to inspire healthy choices and acheivements.
The Tyonek Garden and NANANordic are just a couple of the many stories about positive, healthy activitives in Alaska Native communities.
The Healthy Portraits project takes place every other year. Help us find more projects like these to highlight with the next Healthy Portraits project. Send us your ideas!

MH17 Malaysian Airlines has been shot dead near Ukraine leading to the plane crash in which 295 people have been reported dead. Both Ukrainian leaders and separatist leaders and pro Russian forces have denied shooting the airplane.
MH17 – A Boeing 777 aircraft was flying to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam with reportedly 280 passengers and 15 crew members. With the intensity of the crash being reported, it is unlikely that any of the passengers would have survived.
Malaysia has announced that it had indeed lost any contact from the flight, and the last they heard was from the Ukrainian air space.
Mr. Anton Gerashenko, one of the advisers to the Ukrainian Government's interior ministry, has been reported to being said on his social networking page that the ill-fated plane was flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters (33,000 feet). He has also said that it was hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher, which is having a capacity of firing missiles that can reach up to an altitude of 22,000 meters (72,000 feet).
Ukraine has constantly been alleging that Russia is taking active steps in continuing the conflict which had recently peaked out with the Crimean tensions spreading over the world. Ukraine had earlier alleged that Russia had taken down a fighter jet plane – a Sukhoi Su-25 on Thursday. However Russia has clearly denied it.
The Associated Press reports that the Donetsk region government of Ukraine has said that the plane crash has occurred near a village called Grabovo, which it said is currently under the control of armed pro-Russian separatists. Donetsk has declared independence from Ukraine a few days before, with separatists operating in the region.

2 goals
D.C. United showed heart in its fight back from deficit, not once, but twice Saturday night. First, after Robbie Keane found the net in the 7th minute, Chris Pontius netted the equalizer in the 39th minute. Preying on a casual approach from Omar Gonzalez, Pontius stripped the center back of the ball, then beat Jaime Penedo on a breakaway.
Then, Michael Stephens found the back of the net in the 81st minute, but the Black-and-Red didn't fold. Three minutes later, Perry Kitchen found Kyle Porter, who headed the ball past a diving Penedo. The final score was 2-2.
4th assist
Perry Kitchen's game-winning assist was his fourth of the season. Kitchen was already leading D.C. United in assists before last night, and remains the leader now. Additionally, the talented center midfielder is showing his passing range, accuracy and ability to control the midfield along with Lewis Neal; the two combined for 29.3% of United's passes (130 of the totally 525 passes).
Possession Numbers
DCU dominated possession at RFK on Saturday night. Not only did United have 525 passes to LA's 375, but the Black-and-Red had a passing accuracy of 82%, while the Galaxy's passing accuracy was lower, at 74%.

Fannin Falls to Pickens at HomeFeatured Stories, Sports December 12, 2012
The Fannin Rebels and Lady Rebels had a disappointing night on Tuesday, as both squads fought hard but ultimately came up short against their counterparts from Pickens.The opening game of the evening featured the Lady Rebels and the Dragonettes in a game that looked promising for Fannin in the beginning but soon took a turn for the worst.
The first quarter of the game saw the Lady Rebels remain within striking distance of the Dragonettes, trailing Pickens 12-6 at the quarter's conclusion.
The second quarter would prove to be the Lady Rebels' undoing, as several mistakes on offense and trouble defending the Dragonettes led to a 25-9 run by Pickens in the quarter, leaving the Rebels in a 37-15 hole at the half.
Needing to get back into the game, the Lady Rebels fought hard in the third quarter, which included a nice three-point play by Hope Cochran with 6:30 remaining on the clock, but once the quarter ended the team found itself down 53-30.
Fannin made a run in the fourth, outscoring Pickens 16-11, but it was not enough to come out with a victory. The Dragonettes would win the game by the final score of 64-46.
Hope Cochran led the Lady Rebels in both scoring and rebounding with fourteen points and five rebounds, respectively. Morgan Chastain and Molly Chandler also had fine nights shooting the ball, as Chastain finished the game with eight points and Chandler finished with seven.
Three Lady Rebels—Chandler, Jace Armstrong, and McKenzy Ryder—ended the game with four rebounds.
Next up was the matchup between the Rebels and the Dragons in a contest that would not be decided until the clock showed all zeroes.
The first quarter of the boys' game went exactly like the girls' as far as points are concerned, as the Dragons got on a run at the end of the quarter and led the Rebels 12-6 at its conclusion.
The second quarter of play was not very productive for the Rebels despite some hard play by all the Fannin players on the court, and at the half the team entered the locker room in a 27-14 deficit.
Fannin began to slowly wake up in the third quarter, utilizing foul shots and rebounding to put up eleven points, leaving the score at 37-25 going into the final period.
Now in a do-or-die situation, the Rebels rallied in the fourth quarter, putting up nineteen points in the final eight minutes of the game.
While Fannin fought its way back to contention, problems with foul shots proved to seal the Rebels' fates, and a three-point attempt that failed to go in as the seconds ticked down ended any hope of a come-from-behind victory for Fannin. The Dragons would win by the slim margin of 47-44.
Will Patterson led all scorers with fifteen points in the defeat. Patterson also had four rebounds and three steals.
Jason Arp led the Rebels in rebounding with eight in the contest.
The Rebels and Lady Rebels hit the court again on Friday, as they travel to Oakwood, Georgia to take on the West Hall Spartans and Lady Spartans. The girls' game is set to start at 7:00 with the boys' matchup following its conclusion.

Students Across the Country to Celebrate FFA Week
USAgNet - 02/17/2017
National FFA Week always runs Saturday to Saturday and encompasses Feb. 22, George Washington's birthday. This year, the week kicks off on Feb. 18 and culminates on Feb. 25.
The National FFA Board of Directors designated the weeklong tradition, which began in 1948, in recognition of Washington's legacy as an agriculturist and farmer. A group of young farmers founded FFA in 1928, influencing generations that agriculture is more than planting and harvesting.
Today, FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet new agricultural challenges by helping members develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of career pathways. Members progress to enjoy careers as biologists, chemists, veterinarians, engineers and entrepreneurs.
FFA chapters use National FFA Week to share agriculture with their fellow students as well as their communities. Chapters also give back to their communities through service projects and recruit students to become FFA members.
During this week, the six national officers will visit chapters across the country. Western Region Vice President Trey Elizondo will visit Tennessee; Ashley Willits, eastern region vice president, will visit New Mexico; Valerie Earley, central region vice president, will visit New Hampshire; DeShawn Blanding, southern region vice president, will visit North Dakota; Victoria Harris, national secretary, will visit Idaho; and National FFA President David Townsend will visit Alaska.
