These are very cute & really pretty easy! Here's what you'll need:
Some wax paper, small pretzels (16 for this size), Elmer's glue, a can of polyutherane(from WalMart-small can lasts a long time!) or shelac (much more expensive) and any embellishments you want like ribbon, buttons, flowers, candies...you name it! E600 glue or a hot glue gun, also.
Now, lay your wax paper down & arrange 8 pretzels salty side down in a circle...with the sides touching each other. Once you have them arranged, you take the Elmer's glue & just run a line of glue where each pretzel is touching. Let dry for a few minutes & then you will start your second layer. This time the pretzel will be facing salty side up----put a little glue on the flat side down around the bottom of the pretzel and place it overlapping the ones below it...see the close-up photos for this. Then just keep doing this until all the pretzels are on. Now, go back & add the glue to the side sams like you did on the first layer. Now allow the wreath to dry for at least 2 hours or more. Next, take a peice of thread & put it through one of the pretzel rings & dip the wreath into you polyutherane. I poured mine into an old tupperware bowl & it worked really well. Make sure it is completely staurated & hang on a rod of some sort to dry. A wooden spoon over a couple of tall cans will do...just make sure you have something underneath for it to drip on. Let dry at least an hour or more, then dip it again. Let it dry again & then you are ready to add your embellishments! If you choose to use jelly beans, candy corn or any other "real" candies to decorate, glue them on before you dip into the polyutherane to seal them, as well. This keeps them bug-proof! You can just feed your ribbon through or just make a bow & attach with glue. For embellishments you will want to use a hot glue gun or E6000 glue. They are stronger for the embellishments. Use your imagination! You can make teacher wreaths, baby wreaths, holiday wreaths & much, much more!
You can also use just 12 pretzels (6 each layer) to make smaller ones for the Christmas tree or even magnets. On the same token you can use more pretzels to make larger wreaths! You decide! I hope you enjoy this craft! Send me photos of your finished product & I'll post it here on my blog! Hope your New Year is off to a good start! More later....

Got Flowers?
Come together to form a bevy of colorful blooms.
An assortment of decorative buttons for their centers.
Flowers make me happy.
I love looking at them.
They still lack their pin backings but that's next on the agenda.
Have a happy, flower-filled day, y'all!

Goodguys 16th Annual PPG Nationals
This year we attended The Goodguys 16th Annual PPG Nationals over in Columbus, Ohio. This particular show produced some record-breaking attendance numbers, which means the trucks on display were nearly endless. Of course, as we're sure you're well aware; Classic Trucks was on site and ready to choose five of the most unique trucks to feature as the Classic Trucks' Finest Five.
Quite frankly, the competition was fierce and with so many great builds on tap, it was impossible to choose our favorites. In either case, we've covered the gamut with this lineup this year and we'll think you'll agree. Check out below to see which trucks we chose. Do you have a favorite?
Congratulations to Larry Henderson with his Lt. Green 1955 Chevrolet pickup, Joe Wood with his Maroon & White 1964 Chevrolet pickup, Chris Cline and his red 1968 Chevrolet C10 with bed cover, Josh Kempf's red 1969 Chevrolet C10, and Chris Bazzell's red 1955 Chevrolet Pickup.

We are back to where we always are with this year's version of the New York Knicks, examining Carmelo Anthony. Outside of a couple week excursion to Linsanity everything has been about Melo, sometimes fair and other times not.
This current situation is in regards to quotes Melo had after practice on Monday that are outlined in this column by Jamie O'Grady http://knicks.lohudblogs.com/2012/03/20/melo-keepin-it-real-real-transparent/.
On the surface it's a simple, cut and dry situation. Carmelo Anthony didn't play hard under Coach D'Antoni, he should be castrated. If this is the opinion you have its completely fair and difficult to argue.
To me, it runs deeper than that. If Anthony had to go into Woodson's offense and tell him "Hold me accountable. I don't have a problem with criticism. If I can do something to help better this team, let me know. And he's been doing that."
What was D'Antoni doing when he was coaching the team? That basically says MDA let Carmelo play crappy, lazy defense and never said anything to him.
Being a head coach in the NBA is like being a teacher, authority figure at work or a parent. Your job is to figure out how to get the most out of people. Every person has a different personality and needs to be treated a different way. When you are with someone every day you learn their nuances, which helps you understand what you should and shouldn't do.
Let's use teaching a class as the metaphor here:
Some students are always on top of what they need to do and don't need any further attention (Tyson Chandler).
You have the group of class clowns that need to be reminded and scolded for doing stupid shit (J.R. Smith and Baron Davis).
Then there's the faction of hard working kids who have inherent flaws that can't be fixed. You work with them hoping they improve, but find ways to hide what they struggle with so you can still get the most out of them (Jared Jeffries, Steve Novak, Josh Harrelson, Landry Fields, Iman Shumpert and Jeremy Lin).
Can't forget the kid who just doesn't get it. You're not sure if its effort, lack of caring or he's just not intelligent, something is just off. When you sit them down to talk they always say the right thing, but it never translates. You have to constantly go over the same details and make the same points because they keep making the same mistakes (Amar'e Stoudemire).
Finally, the most frustrating student of all, the underachiever. This person has the ability to do anything they want to. They ooze potential and ability, but they choose not to take advantage of it. He pushes and prods to see how much he can get away with, while always doing enough to get by. To get the most out of the underachiever he needs to be constantly ridden. Make sure you do your homework, study for the test, don't zone out during class and respect your classmates are orders that need to be given frequently. It's annoying and frustrating to have to baby sit to this extent. When there is a student of this caliber you do whatever it takes to make sure they live up to their potential and hope in time they start to become more accountable on their own. (Carmelo Anthony).
In a perfect world every person could be treated without distinction and you could get the same results. Unfortunately, this isn't how it works. It's about mind games and adjusting to different situations.
Mike D'Antoni couldn't figure out a way to get the most out of his players and it cost him his job. Carmelo Anthony deserves criticism because he didn't give the requisite effort, but he also wasn't challenged like he should have been. Blame needs to go on both parties.

U.N. report: Bans on abortion are 'torture'
Warns women, drug users, transgender men vulnerable to 'health-care abuse'
Denying a woman access to an otherwise legal abortion is "tantamount to torture," claims a designated United Nations expert in an official report to the international body.
What's more, the expert asserts, banning all abortions – including in the case of rape – may be "torture" too, whether the bans are legally passed or not.
The U.N.'s special rapporteur on torture, Juan E. Mendez, issued his annual report to the U.N.'s Human Rights Council in February, in which he specifically focused on "certain forms of abuses in health-care settings that may cross a threshold of mistreatment that is tantamount to torture."
Mendez lists as health-care "tortures" a host of "reproductive rights violations," including forced sterilization, female genital mutilation and "denial of legally available health services such as abortion and post-abortion care."
"International and regional human rights bodies have begun to recognize that abuse and mistreatment of women seeking reproductive health services can cause tremendous and lasting physical and emotional suffering, inflicted on the basis of gender," Mendez notes.
He further calls into question all "absolute bans" on abortion.
"In the landmark decision of K.N.L.H. v. Peru, the Human Rights Committee deemed the denial of a therapeutic abortion [for a rape victim] a violation of the individual's right to be free from ill-treatment," Mendez notes. "The Committee against Torture has repeatedly expressed concerns about restrictions on access to abortion and about absolute bans on abortion as violating the prohibition of torture."
Mendez further declared it "torture" for states to require a transgendered man, for example, to undergo genital alteration surgery in order to be legally classified a woman. He cites 20 of the 50 U.S. states require transgender persons to undergo "gender-confirming surgery" before being able to change their legal sex.
In 2011, the U.N.'s special rapporteur on reproductive rights, Anand Grover, filed a similar report demanding the decriminalization of abortion and emergency contraception worldwide.
Stefano Gennarini, director of the Center for Legal Studies at C-FAM, however, told LifeSiteNews that the special rapporteurs are merely attempting to "fabricate obligations on states, or create new obligations on states that never agreed to them in any binding international agreement, no in any consensus document."
"It's part of a broader effort of human rights groups that are in cahoots with the office of the High Commissioner of Human rights to make abortion into a human right," Gennarini said.
The pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights praised Mendez' report and went so far as to take direct credit for his findings.
"The Center has been promoting reproductive rights violations as torture or ill-treatment for over a decade," the organization touts on its website. "The Center brought these examples to the attention of the special rapporteur at a convening it hosted in March 2012, in another session hosted by the special rapporteur in December and through written submissions provided to the special rapporteur as he prepared this report. The special rapporteur incorporated many of the Center's findings and cited many of the Center's cases in his report."
Mendez' report classified instances of medical "torture" into five categories:
- "Compulsory detention for medical conditions," such as forcing a drug user into a rehab center against his will;
- "Reproductive rights violations," including abusive and humiliating treatment of women seeking reproductive health services;
- "Denial of pain treatment," including countries who through "deficiency in drug supply management" can't afford adequate morphine for their terminally ill;
- "Persons with psychosocial disabilities" being neglected or detained involuntarily in treatment centers;
- and "marginalized groups," such as AIDS patients turned away from hospitals, drug addicts allowed to go into withdrawal to force confessions, sex workers facing mandatory HIV testing, transgender individuals compelled to have gender-reassignment surgery in order to be recorded as another gender and people with disabilities facing forced-sterilization laws.
"The prohibition of torture is one of the few absolute and non-derogable human rights, a matter of jus cogens, a peremptory norm of customary international law," Mendez reports. "The right to an adequate standard of health care ('right to health') determines the States' obligations."

(No difference)
Revision as of 12:50, 30 November 2009
Thunderbolt Direct - Witteberg ***** Grade G1M2
A Dick and R Fuggle 1970
Note: This description is of the direct variation pitches only. You will need the RD of the original route as well (Contact MCSA for details).
After the fifth pitch, Thunderbolt traverses to the left under some large overhangs, later traversing back right. This variation, starting from the stance above pitch No. 5 of Thunderbolt, goes straight through the overhangs, joining up with the final pitch of the original route.
24m "F3". Climb up and to the right, then slightly left to a smallish stance. 30m "F2". Climb up to a spire below the overhangs. Climb the spire to a small but comfortable stance at its apex. 15m "G2 M1". Move slightly left off the top of the spire and up (1 aid point) to below the large overhang above. Continue to the right and over the lip of the overhang to a small exposed stance above. 36m "G1 M2". Move up the slab and then diagonally right through two small overhanging sections (6m F2/M2). Climb the recess on the left. 55m "F3". Continue up the recess to where it ends and then to the left on to pitch 18 of the original route.

Prominent Republicans are launching a new super PAC they hope will help begin repairing the political damage left by years of anti-illegal-immigrant rhetoric that has dominated GOP primaries and alienated crucial Hispanic voters.
The organization, to be called Republicans for Immigration Reform, aims to undermine what organizers call the "extremists" who have pushed party nominees to stake out far-right positions such as opposing a pathway to legalization for millions of illegal workers, students and children.
Even before it raises money and establishes target races for 2014, the group's organizers told The Washington Post, it will help smooth the way for wavering Republican lawmakers to vote next year for an immigration overhaul. Such a measure suddenly gained momentum last week after GOP leaders watched President Obama's dominance among Hispanic voters help carry him to an electoral college landslide.
Spearheading the group is Carlos Gutierrez, the Cuban American commerce secretary under President George W. Bush. He is joined by Washington lawyer Charlie Spies, co-founder of the pro-Mitt Romney super PAC Restore Our Future, which, illustrating the very trend that the new PAC aims to thwart, aired some tough ads during this year's primaries accusing Romney's rivals of supporting "amnesty" and being "too liberal on immigration."
"There's currently only energy on the anti-immigration reform side, and we want to be able to provide some cover for Republicans that vote in support of an immigration reform approach," Spies said.
Spies and Gutierrez declined to cite a fundraising goal, but both enjoy close ties to corporate America, which generally favors looser immigration laws. A super PAC can accept unlimited donations. Spies's pro-Romney group raised $142 million for the 2012 campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
"This is not small ball," Gutierrez said. "We're serious, and we are going to push the debates on immigration reform to a place where I believe the Republican Party should be in the 21st century."
Gutierrez, who was a top Romney adviser, gained attention over the weekend when he told Univision anchor Jorge Ramos that the Republican nominee lost to Obama because the GOP "frightened the American people" during its primaries.
He told The Post that he regretted some of Romney's remarks on immigration during the campaign. Romney used the issue to fend off challenges from Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former House speaker Newt Gingrich, accusing both men of being soft on illegal immigration. At one point, Romney endorsed a policy of "self-deportation" for immigrants in the country illegally, adopting the language of some of the country's most ardent critics of illegal immigration.
"Mitt Romney's comments were a symptom of the disease of the Republican Party, and the extreme far-right wing that is way out of the mainstream of Americans' views is the cause," Gutierrez said. "Governor Romney was forced to say things that got him into a lot of trouble. And the irony of it is that had he not said those things, he wouldn't have been the nominee."
The result was Romney winning just 27 percent of the Hispanic vote — less than John McCain in 2008 and far less than Bush's 40 percent support level for his 2004 reelection.
Bush and his senior strategist Karl Rove tried to push their party to the left on immigration, arguing that Hispanics are a fast-growing voter segment in key swing states. But conservatives rebelled when Bush tried in his second term to create a path to citizenship, and GOP orthodoxy ever since has required candidates to take a hard line against such policies.
Spies said the new PAC will most likely favor whatever immigration plans are backed by House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a Cuban American and possible 2016 presidential candidate who is expected to be a central GOP player on the issue, although both lawmakers have staked out conservative stances in the past.
The challenge ahead for the GOP was evident last week when Boehner stepped out to endorse a "comprehensive" approach to the immigration issue — only to be denounced by some House conservatives for sounding as though he was preparing to back an "amnesty" plan. Boehner later backtracked a bit but still said he was committed to acting.
Gutierrez and Spies are not alone in speaking out for a new GOP approach to immigration.
Former Florida governor Jeb Bush, another possible 2016 presidential candidate, has long derided critics of new immigration laws and is co-writing a book on the issue. His wife, Columba, is Mexican American.
Their eldest son, George P. Bush, who has worked to recruit Hispanic GOP candidates in Texas, recently filed papers there to run for statewide office, although it's not clear which one. A fundraising appeal from his father suggested that he was interested in running for Texas land commissioner.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
The fraternity of current and former Apple Geniuses in North Texas is buzzing about a tell-all story on technology blog Gizmodo.
The Dallas Morning News has learned that the unidentified store in the article titled "Exclusive: Confessions from the most corrupt Apple store in America" under the heading "Evil Geniuses" is the NorthPark Center Apple store.
The NorthPark store is one of the highest volume Apple stores in Texas. (Apple stores generate the highest annual sales-per-square-foot in the retail industry at about $5,600.)
We're told that the tenor of the article is right-on, and that the NorthPark store has needed a corporate culture overhaul, but some of the specific allegations are exaggerated. A former employee said he believes the scene where drunken Geniuses would routinely spike their iPhones to the ground at Apple parties is one of those instances.

ATTLEBORO, Mass. — An associate of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez is scheduled to appear in court for a probable cause hearing.
Ernest Wallace is expected in Attleboro District Court on Monday in connection with the June death of Odin Lloyd.
Wallace was indicted Thursday on a charge of being an accessory to murder after the fact. He pleaded not guilty earlier in district court to the same charge and was ordered held on $500,000 bail.
Police have said Wallace and another man were with the ex-player at the time Lloyd was killed.
Wallace went to Florida after Lloyd's death.
According to court documents released in Florida, the other man told police that Wallace said Hernandez shot Lloyd. Hernandez is being held without bail after pleading not guilty to murder.

18 April 2008, Hanoi, Vietnam: Summary report.
|Annie Baxter, Tran Manh Hung, Mathew Markopoulos
Strengthening Voices for Better Choices: Global Forest Governance Project
IUCN. Hanoi, Viet Nam, 24 pp.
An important aspect of international efforts to combat illegal logging and associated forest crime is building markets for legal and sustainable timber products. The measures being developed for this purpose include private sector codes of conduct, green procurement policies and various timber certification and licensing systems. The European Union's response to illegal logging centres on its Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan. This aims to combat illegal logging through forest governance reform, improved transparency, information exchange and capacity building. A key element of the Action Plan is developing a licensing system for legally produced timber. This will be built up through a series of Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs) between the EU and major timberproducing countries, each setting out the actions and commitments of both parties to tackle illegal logging.
The current emphasis on markets for legal and sustainable timber presents Vietnam with both an opportunity and a threat. Vietnam's fastgrowing wooden furniture export industry has one of the largest shares of FSC-certified wood in east Asia, and the Vietnamese government aims to certify 30% of its production forests by 2020. Currently most certified wood must be imported, however, driving up production costs. Limited domestic production means that the timber industry as a whole depends heavily on imports, and ensuring the legality and sustainability of this supply will present a major challenge.
As a timber importer and processor, Vietnam differs from the timber-producing countries negotiating VPAs. This puts it outside the scope of current VPAs, which focus on timber exports. Nevertheless the intended outcomes of VPAs (improved forest governance, improved market access, and so on) are still highly relevant to national policy objectives, and the government of Vietnam is following developments in other countries with interest. It could join the process at a later stage, though any agreement would require different policy solutions from those of VPAs with timberproducing countries. Any solutions should also address forest protection in countries supplying Vietnam with timber, for example by encouraging Vietnamese importers and processors to adopt responsible purchasing policies (such as the policy of Vietnam's Forest and Trade Network).
The EC–Vietnam round table aimed to launch a dialogue on these solutions by giving key stakeholders the opportunity to learn about changing timber market trends and their implications, and to explore ways of meeting demands for legal and sustainable timber products.

HAMPTON FALLS — If you're dressing up as Peter Cottontail for Halloween, you might want to think about a safer costume, because a number of bobcat sightings have been reported recently.
HAMPTON FALLS — If you're dressing up as Peter Cottontail for Halloween, you might want to think about a safer costume, because a number of bobcat sightings have been reported recently.
Deborah Regan, of River Road, said her husband spotted one of the typically 15- to 35-pound wildcats this summer. Then about a month later, another resident of the small neighborhood of about 12 houses saw one.
At that point, Regan circulated a photograph she took to some other neighbors and found that two more had seen a bobcat within two weeks. She then brought up the topic at a library book group and found someone else who lived about a mile away from her home who had spotted a bobcat, too.
"I've lived all around New Hampshire and I've lived way out in the country and I've camped and I've hiked and I've never seen a bobcat (in those locations)," Regan said. "So to see one six feet from my house kind of floored me."
That encounter happened just last Friday around 4 p.m., when Regan and her husband observed the animal moving around their yard.
"We were like little kids we were so excited," she said, noting that she's something of a nature enthusiast.
She expected that the cat "would have seemed more wary or cautious or crouching, but it wasn't," she said. Instead, it strolled around in a "very casual manner" and "made us wonder maybe it's walked through our yard many times before."
Regan isn't too concerned about the safety of her family — that is, except for the feline member.
"On the one hand, I find it very exciting. On the other hand, I have a cat that goes out and we haven't let her out since then which she's not too happy about," she said, adding she advised her neighbors who own outdoor cats to err on the side of caution as well.
Having lived in Hampton Falls for about 22 years, and 15 years in her present location, Regan said the first time she saw a bobcat was about three or four years ago at Lincoln Akerman School. Her car's headlights reflected on what was distinctly a cat's face. She said she did some research and decided what she'd seen must have been a bobcat.
"I thought people in the town would say I was crazy, but actually two people who live about a mile from us in either direction had seen it in their yards," she said.
According to a study by University of New Hampshire professor of wildlife ecology John A. Litvaitis, the population of bobcats, especially in the Seacoast area, is recovering tremendously.
On a UNH Web site, Litvaitis compiles information about bobcat sightings and asks people to send in their own information. Between 1990 and 2004, he has mapped out 91 bobcat sightings almost entirely in the central and western regions of the state. But from 2010 to 2012, he's found 411 such reports, including a healthy smattering throughout the Seacoast.
"Recent observations suggest that they are becoming more abundant in the southeastern portion of the state, where they were scarce," the site states.
Between 1809 and 1973, there was a bounty on bobcats that was occasionally repealed and reinstated. By 1989, bobcats populations were at low levels and harvesting closed and has stayed that way since.
"Now, after 20 years of protection, have their populations rebounded? Numerous observations by hunters, trappers, and naturalists seem to indicate that this is the case," said Litvaitis on his Web site, which endeavors to determine exactly how well bobcats have responded to protection measures.
Bobcats typically eat cottontail rabbits, deer, snowshoe hares, gray squirrels and other small mammals. Regan said she'd seen an abundance of rabbits in and around her yard earlier this summer; however, they seem to have mostly disappeared, she said, perhaps because of the bobcats.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - For some the season is winding down. For others the season is going strong as the Lipscomb Bisons compete in the Atlantic Sun Conference Track and Field Championships. The meet is set to begin Friday and concluding Saturday in Jacksonville, Fla.
Lipscomb took the weekend off two weeks ago and attended a single-day meet in Indiana last Friday in preparation for the championships.
"We are just excited," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "We had a break for finals and broke the rust off at Indiana. We are excited to get down to Florida with some warmer weather and let it go. For a good chunk of the team, this is what we have been looking for all season."
As a team, Lipscomb has strong participation in every event but Taylor is unsure where that will place the Bisons.
"Every year we try to score more points than the previous year," Taylor said. "I am not sure where we stand this year. We have some great individuals in a variety of events to help us gain points.
"The top-three are all-conference and sometimes we get too focused on that. The top-eight places receive points. You look for a commitment for the person to reach for the extra second or extra place along with the team rallying behind with support."
Individually Lipscomb has several top performers in the conference this season including the defending 200-meter champion Tucker Peabody, who ranks first in the A-Sun this season. He clocked in at 20.69 seconds at the Vanderbilt Invitational. He also ranks second in the league in the 100-meter dash as he finished in 10.49 seconds at the Billy Hayes Invite. He was all-conference in the 100-meter dash a year ago.
"Tucker is in a great position to repeat in the 200," Taylor said. "He has the fastest time in the conference by a significant amount and I think he is just getting faster. He is the favorite going in but that doesn't guarantee a win."
Also at the top of the A-Sun rankings is Houston Ward. In the shot put, Ward has the top throw of 15.48 meters that he set at the Sun Angel Classic. Ward also ranks fourth in the discus and fifth in the hammer throw.
Gemikal Prude has a leap of 2.15 meters that he achieved at the Sun Angel Classic. The jump places him second in the high jump category. Teammate Adam Austin is ranked fourth with a jump of 1.95 meters.
Ranked third overall, John Clevenger enters the meet with a toss of 50.33 meters in the javelin.
Returning all-conference performer Andrew Wolf is ranked third in the 400-meter hurdles and is joined in the top five by teammates Nelson Scot and Ryan Whitley who are ranked second and fourth, respectively. All three ran their top times at the Vanderbilt Invite.
Although it would be ideal to have the best performances of the season at the conference meet, Taylor finds that unlikely but not a hindrance.
"In theory, we would like the best performances of the season but that isn't the case," Taylor said. "In reality it doesn't take the best performance of the season because a lot of people won't have their best performance. It takes being competitive and valuing everyone."
Events begin Friday at 8 a.m. with the women's heptathlon. The final event on Friday is at 7:55 p.m. with the men's 10,000-meter run. Saturday kicks off at 8 .m. with the men's decathlon and finishes up at 8:45 p.m. with the women's 4X400 relay.

Randy Denton
from Duke University Sports Information
http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml? ... EM_ID=4200
It was at the ripe old age of 15 that Randy Denton burst upon the scene in basketball — January 8, 1965 to be exact.
A 6-foot-10 sophomore high school player from Raleigh, N.C., Denton stood 10 feet tall on that evening as his Enloe Eagles took on the mighty Broughton Caps, the defending Eastern 4A state champions and a team that featured one of the greatest players in the history of basketball, "Pistol" Pete Maravich.
Enloe was the new school in Raleigh, just three years old, taking on the area's flagship school in Needham B. Broughton High, established in 1929.
After going back and forth for most of the game, it was down the stretch, in the final minute, that the contest was decided. Denton scored five points in the final 26 seconds to lead Enloe to a 63-61 victory. It was the first varsity win by any Enloe team over Broughton. Denton tallied 18 points on the night while Maravich scored 20 points.
But as Denton's high school coach Howard Hurt will tell you, with Maravich in the game it wasn't over until the final whistle. With one second left and Broughton down by three Maravich was on the line foul line. He made the first free throw, then tried to miss the second so that it came off the rim and could be tipped in. It didn't get tipped in.
"I was sure Pete would try something," said Hurt, a former Duke basketball player (1959-61). "And I could only hope it wouldn't work."
"Denton played a great game, a tremendous one for a sophomore," said Broughton coach Ed McLean, who went on to be an assistant at N.C. State. "The pressure was on him and he really came through."
It was a very special time for high school basketball in the capital city. Both Maravich and Denton were thought of as big-time talents and played a lot of ball against each other.
"Pete and I knew each other from a few night clubs in Raleigh and we played against each other in pickup games at the old Hayes Barton pool courts and in summer league games at the Raleigh YMCA," said Denton. "It was a great time."
From that moment on, Denton knew he had the opportunity to become a very special basketball player.
"He tried to play football at one time in high school," said Hurt, who was a two-time team captain during his Blue Devil days. "They put him out at end at 6-10 and would throw the ball really high to him, but it just never worked out. But he could play basketball. He was a good rebounder and a really good post player."
"Coach Hurt, a great Duke player in his own right, worked with me to improve me as a player," explained Denton. "He taught me that I had to do more than just be tall to be a really good player and that meant a lot to me."
Denton developed into a very fine player and at 6-10, garnered a great deal of attention from college coaches. Hurt and Denton's mom received over 200 letters from colleges around the country. He was recruited by Frank McGuire at South Carolina, Dean Smith at North Carolina, Vic Bubas at Duke and his future head coach Bucky Waters, who was at West Virginia at the time. Hurt remembers McGuire coming to town in his big white Cadillac while Denton remembers Smith taking his mom to the Angus Barn a couple of times.
"My dad died in the summer of '66 suddenly. I only made one recruiting trip and that was to Davidson, who had Lefty Driesell as the head coach," explained Denton. "My dad loved Duke. He thought a lot of Coach Bubas and his love of Duke and Coach Hurt were the reasons I went to Duke."
At Duke he became known for his consistency. As a center for the Blue Devils, he earned second team All-ACC honors as a sophomore and junior and made the first team as a senior. In all three years of his varsity career, from 1969-71, he led the team in scoring and rebounding. In 1971 he was named All-America in 1971 before embarking on nine years as a professional player, all with very steady and reliable performances.
That consistency earned Denton an induction into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame this spring. Denton is already a member of the Duke Athletics Hall of Fame, having been enshrined in 1991.
Denton's college numbers accentuate his dependable play. His 19.7 career scoring average stands sixth in Duke history while his 12.7 rebound average is tops in school history. He still stands fourth in total rebounds for a career. Six times he scored more than 20 points and had 20 rebounds in a single game, and his scoring averages of 17.4 as a sophomore, 21.5 as a junior and 20.4 as a senior show his true consistency.
It was in his senior season that Denton felt he had one of his best games of his career when he helped to lead the Blue Devils to an 82-71 win over 10th-ranked South Carolina. Denton had 15 points and 11 rebounds, while Tom Owens of South Carolina had just 12 points and six rebounds.
In 1968 Denton and the Blue Devils captured the Sugar Bowl Tournament and Denton was named the MVP. Another fact that he is truly proud of is that Duke never lost a Senior Day game in Cameron Indoor Stadium to North Carolina while he was on the team, winning three straight years in the regular season finale.
It was following the 1969 season that things changed for Denton. The coach that he had come to Duke to play for, Vic Bubas, decided to step down and Bucky Waters became his head coach for his final two seasons.
"My heart dropped (when Bubas resigned). He was always kind of a father figure to me, because my father thought so much of him," explained Denton. "I remember after the season, we had lost our final game to Carolina in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte, and a week later he called us in one by one and told us the time had come for him to move on to another job. Bucky came in, we weren't sure what was going to happen, but I continued to start and played well under Bucky."
Following graduation Denton was selected in the NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics in the fourth round — and by the Memphis Pros of the ABA in the first round. "Red Auerbach called and told me I could come work with the team in the summer and tryout with the team, while Memphis gave me a guaranteed three-year contract, so that's why I went to Memphis," he explained.
He was traded to the Carolina Cougars, where he spent a short time before being traded back to Memphis, then known as the Memphis Tams. With Memphis, Denton had two solid years averaging 17 points per game in 1973 and 13.3 in 1974.
He also played in the ABA with the Utah Stars and the St. Louis Spirits, teaming up with Moses Malone at both stops. When the ABA folded, Denton was chosen by the New York Knicks in the dispersal draft, but ended up playing his final year in Atlanta for Hubie Brown, who had been an assistant coach at Duke during Denton's career.
Denton finished his professional career in Italy, playing two years in Torino. Following his playing career, he settled down back in his hometown of Raleigh and is now director of business development for Executive Building Maintenance. He has worked with the Duke Medical Center on building projects for years.
He is also known today on the Internet for the big Afro haircut that he wore during his playing days in the ABA. Just Google Randy Denton to check out the old photos.
"I had as good a 'fro as any of the guys in the league including Dr. J (Julius Erving)," he said with a big smile.
Randy Denton is a true North Carolinian who loved Duke. He was born and raised in Raleigh, married his high school sweetheart from Raleigh, attended college in North Carolina and even played professionally in the state. It's not a surprise that the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, where he will be enshrined, is only five minutes from his home in Raleigh.

Growth Type: Late/Lasting
- Spoiler: show
- One of the better goalkeepers of the 90's, Gianluca Pagliuca is in fact still playing today, albeit he's just a free agent. He currently holds the record for most Serie A appearances for a goalkeeper, ahead of Dino Zoff, and was one of Inter's greatest keepers. He didn't have much of an international career; he unfortunately emerged as a talent the same time as Angelo Peruzzi and Francesco Toldo. An interesting aspect about him, is that if it weren't for him getting injured, Buffon may not have proved himself on an international level. Any who, let's talk about his characteristics. Firstly, he has got lightning reflexes. He could perform some fantastic saves and react so quickly to shots. Another thing you'll notice about him is his consistency; he performed well week-in, week-out in the Serie A, even when he was playing for Sampdoria, Bologna and Ascoli. He was possibly the most reliable goalkeeper around in the 90's. He also had the ability to make impossible saves; he could twist and contour his body to make a save, similar to the current Buffon or Helton. That said, his leap wasn't very good. Like his countryman Ballotta, he has a habit of only going down low for saves, scarcely leaping high into the air to get it.

How difficult was it for USC after losing to Stanford? Not very, at least for some Trojans.
Sports by Brooks reports that several USC players were spotted at the Hollywood hotspot Les Deux after the 24-23 loss.
Among the players was quarterback John David Booty, right, who was "doing shots and enjoying the company of several members of the fairer sex."
Booty, who cracked the tip of his middle finger on his throwing hand during the loss, threw four interceptions. His Heisman hopes are all but over, and he might be replaced as the starter by Mark Sanchez.
With help from Image of Sport, a sports photography service for daily newspapers and editorial publications, and YouTube, we are blowing out Stanford's victory.
Image of Sport has the best shot we've seen of the Cardinal's Mark Bradford going high over the Trojans' Mozique McCurtis to snare the winning touchdown pass.
Jim Harbaugh, left, said afterward: "This is the start. We haven't written the finish yet. We don't know how the finish is going to turn out. But this is a heck of a start for that."
What made the victory even more incredible was the play of quarterback Tavita Pritchard, above, who got the start after T.C. Ostrander had a seizure early last week. Pritchard had attempted only three passes in college before Saturday.
Here are the final 54 seconds of Stanford's victory, including the botched call of the winning fourth-down play by Versus announcer Ron Thulin, who says, "Touchdown USC!" Thulin quickly corrected himself.
Analyst Kelly Stouffer didn't help matters by saying that the Cardinal would be going for the tie with the extra point. Within seconds, he corrected his blunder.
There is also a video taken of the winning play from the end zone, but embedding has been disable, so to view it you'll have to click here.
A wild scene at Stanford, where students in the Florence Moore West dorm watched the finish.
Shortly after midnight, the team arrived back on campus and Harbaugh addressed an estimated 5,000 fans who gathered to greet the team. Harbaugh has rejuvenated a program that has gone through six years of losing games, churning through coaches and playing in silent stadiums on its own campus.

The Aftermath (and After Party)

As someone who spent the last four years going to Stanford Stadium every Saturday only to leave pissed off, I can't tell you how much this win meant to me. I'm getting a grad degree now and live off campus, but the damn thing was so great that I actually drove the 20 minutes to school just so I could soak it all in. Anyway, this is one of the better picture/video recaps I've seen -- thanks so much for that.
Also, if you're a stickler for details, the dorm is called "Florence Moore West."

His QB rating was below 70 in half of his games including 5 below or at a 50 rating.
Hey, I also don't think he's gonna be the savior of the Niners, but he doesn't have to be. And I saw major improvement since his awful rookie season. Add to that that, other than Gore, the Niners offense sucked last year... Smith will be fine. The type of QB than won't win much by himself, but won't lose games either.
Also, what you say about Jackson is true, but you can't deny that he's a big improvement over what SF had at WR last year. And getting him for a 4th rounder was big. Add to that that Vernon will be healthy and the passing game should be greatly improved.
Still, I don't think it will be enough to win the NFC West, but they'll be better... and maybe (just maybe) will make the playoffs as a wildcards. Still a year away from being true contenders for the division, tho.

That was the question being asked last night by police officers on Laguna Avenue in Echo Park, according to one resident. The details:
Got home from work about 8:30. My neighbor said he went outside to his car, and the police asked him is he's seen a naked man run by. No. Then speeding police car and helicopter race by and over towards Kensington. Maybe he ran up Crosby stairs? Police seemed very conceded about nudity!
No word if the naked man was caught. But, as the Laguna Avenue resident said, "EP rules on oddness!"

Rock Island Clean Line is barreling through the Iowa countryside. The transmission line starts in the wind farms of northwest Iowa and goes to the Illinois border with plans reaching farther east. Those behind the power transmission line spin tales of the "wonders" it will create for renewable energy and Iowa jobs. But those jobs will mostly be temporary, and the power traveling along the line does not power Iowa.
There's another reason to be concerned about this project. The Clean Line's claims of a "small footprint" on our land are actually deceptive. Farmers who have to deal with the invasion of the project on their land are concerned how it will affect spraying of crops, growing of seed corn, and soil compaction. They're also concerned how the company often ignores fence and property lines, putting the transmission lines straight through valuable Iowa fields.
I find it interesting landowners often have to pry from the RICL "spin masters" exactly what happens to those who object to this steamroller. What happens? They condemn their land. Period.
I seriously doubt the integrity of this company owned by out-of-state billionaires. The company has already attempted to receive special treatment by asking the Iowa Utilities Board to allow bifurcation. This would weaken property rights and negotiation parity, and of course, save RICL a lot of money. Thank goodness the IUB said "NO" last week. Makes you wonder what kind of neighbors and stewards the RICL would be.
In Grundy and Butler counties, landowners are gathering by the hundreds to oppose the RICL, as they are in other legislative districts. The local Farm Bureau groups are joining the fight, but the statewide organization has been strangely quiet. We need it to help fight for property rights.
I am happy to report, there will be several legislators who will stand with these Iowa landowners. As the grandson of the "wind energy champion" in the U.S. Senate, I also support the clean, renewable benefits of wind, but I cannot support this project. Look for a bill to be filed in January to let this out-of-touch company know Iowans still love their land and their property rights.

No: 109-4
Date: September 16, 2005
Senate Passes H.R. 804, Excluding from Income Certain Payments Made Under the National Flood Insurance Program
On September 8, 2005, the Senate passed H.R. 804 by unanimous consent. The bill was passed by the House of Representatives under suspension of the rules on July 12, 2005. The bill has been presented to the President for his action.
The bill includes the following provision relating to means-tested assistance programs' treatment of grants for reducing future flood damage.
Treatment of Certain Payments Under National Flood Insurance Program
- Would amend the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 to specify that assistance provided under a program for flood mitigation activities with respect to a property would not be considered income or a resource of the owner of the property when determining eligibility for or benefit levels under any income assistance or resource-tested program (including Supplemental Security Income) that is funded in whole or in part by a Federal agency or by appropriated Federal funds.
- Would be effective upon enactment.

The players are making their way to the middle. It's a bit misty but otherwise perfect. Again, a tiny crowd but my colleague George Binnoy tells me that the prices are exorbitant, which helps explain it. You'd think the authorities would be more concerned about games taking place against a backdrop of full stands. As it is, the crowd is in the hundreds.

Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I would appreciate it if you could send me any information that you might have to help me to decide about whether or not I should take Topotecan. I have AML and ALL acute leukemia. I am currently taking 5-AZA that seems to be helping me to some extent.
Thank you,
Bradley Somer, MD, Editorial Assistant for OncoLink, responds:
Dear NS,
Let me preface this response by saying that your question is difficult to answer without complete access to your medical history. OncoLink has a policy of not rendering professional opinions via e-mail, as it is impossible to render an accurate diagnosis/treatment plan without examining a patient in person. This is true in general; however, it is even more complex in your situation given your diagnosis of leukemia with features of both AML and ALL. With this in mind, I hope that this provides more insight.
Topotecan (Hycamtin) is from the class of drugs known as the topoisomerase-I inhibitors and is derived from a Chinese plant- camptotheca acuminata. It has been shown to be an active drug in many malignancies, but recently has been shown to have activity against myelodysplastic syndrome (a pre-leukemia condition). There are also studies designed to determine dosage (but not effectiveness) that show that there is anti-leukemia activity with Topotecan- either alone or in combination with cytarabine, and with cytarabine and cytoxan. However, there are no definitive studies that compare it with the standard induction treatment.
Therefore, there are multiple studies that are being done throughout the country designed to definitively determine if there is a significant anti-leukemia effect to Topotecan. Currently, these studies are for patients who have failed more conventional therapy (refractory), or relapsed. So, Topotecan is not a first line treatment as there is very limited data on its activity against relapsed or refractory disease.
Typical side effects of Topotecan (Hycamtin) include low white cell count/ platelets, fatigue, anemia, hair loss, nausea/vomiting, mouth soreness, difficulty swallowing, and diarrhea.
The decision to use Topotecan should also take into consideration how well you are responding to your current therapy, and what side effects you are encountering.
Please contact your oncologists for information regarding their decision to see how this information relates to you, and what clinical trials are available in your area.

When planning your next tattoo, if you're facing a lot of difficult decisions and the decision of a tattoo, either your first or next, is a pretty permanent decision. You need to be sure of what you want, placement, how they affect their social and cultural identity, the contours of your body and about the future and how it will age. One thing I learned is that shoulder tattoo designs and tattoos for tend to be very encouraging for all the factors you need to be sure to get one.
The placement of the tattoo can be a difficult problem for a variety of reasons and shoulder tattoos are relatively easy to get to cope with this task. There are a variety of tattoo designs that you are able to choose from such as Celtic crosses, epic pieces of art, unique and incredible tribal work and many other options. These designs are very easy to assemble and everything in the shoulder area and therefore I believe that if you have not had a shoulder tattoo, however, should take a look at some designs to see if you can find something that suits you. The way people perceive you can also be altered by getting a tattoo. If your social and cultural identity is important to you, then the shoulder tattoo designs also offer some great options because they can cover up to the shoulder (s) easily with clothes. Having this capability is great because some jobs do not enable or you have changes to the body not to mention the permanent as tattooing.
Tattoos of age as us. It is therefore important to consider the location, design and color of a tattoo. Shoulder designs allow you to get a piece of art on your body that was not so much as other forms of tattoos. This is because the structure of the shoulder tends to change much less than other parts of your body, and a large tattoo that means you need fewer touch-ups and will also be able to hold the ink better than other areas. Another great aspect of getting a tattoo on his shoulder can use elements of his body as the shoulder blades to create a very special tattoo and contoured. So when you are looking for tattoo designs, take a look at the shoulder tattoo designs, allowing you to get a tattoo on one of the best areas of the body in general. If you're worried about what people think it is very easy to hide the shoulders. Shoulder designs are versatile and so unique that allows great flexibility when selecting a tattoo as well. Even with all the versatility of tattoo designs shoulder that is almost guaranteed to have a tattoo that will last a long time before a touchup is needed. Another thing that is impressive about shoulder tattoos is that they really can make a statement and tie together other pieces. Definitely take a look at the tattoo designs shoulder when you are looking for ideas on your next tattoo.
The search for perfect tattoo designs shoulder can be difficult, though it is one of the most common places to get some ink. Most of the men and the girls are thinking about getting a tattoo shoulder to make a statement or to supplement one or more of the other tattoos they already have. This is why shoulder tribal tattoos are so popular, I usually use a dark color and are easy to combine, or mix with old tattoos.
Thinking about getting your first tattoo? Or do you already have some inc and have a need for more? Either way, the shoulder is a great place to get a tattoo. It is placed on the back of the shoulder, upper arm or near the shoulder blade, it all looks very nice. And in cases where it is not appropriate to have a tattoo is very easy to hide.
When choosing among all shoulder tattoo designs out there should be demanding, perhaps he should be allowed to redo the design tattoo artist has to fit your style and body. Most people who get tattoos shoulder does not go beyond search and the dragon tribal designs. Thanks to the contours of the shoulder, not the limited. Many of the designs can be mounted on the shoulder, everything from the designs of zodiac and Celtic designs are decent heart and stars.
I hate to tell, but there are a lot of shoulder tattoo designs out on the Internet that does not look so good in the human body. I've seen a lot of tattoo designs that are really nice on paper or computer screen, but the sad thing is that not even look half as good when tattooed on someone's shoulder. Just as my last words, try to find tattoo designs that are actually made shoulder before. Better yet, try to find a photo of your design on a body.
Finding great tattoo designs shoulder should be a fun and exciting experience for you. That said, many people are getting more excited and put in halfway decent design first seen on his shoulders. Impulse decisions are never a good idea, but if you are using search engines, it becomes even harder to find the truly great work of art. Here's how to fix that, and a great way to discover tons of great tattoo designs shoulder for you.
The first point is most crucial when you are looking for tattoo designs shoulder. It has to do with the way most people (95%) find their tattoos. I will assume that you are in the majority and you are relying on search engines to find them. Using them to find good shoulder tattoo designs can take a while. This is due to the large amount of low end galleries that pull up in the results. The sad part is that many people will sift through two pages of results and collect some two pages. Most of the time, they will not find exactly what you want, but will settle on something anyway, although not 100% sure about the design you chose.
The other thing you must remember when using search engines is the fact that many art galleries after not really meant to be used as real tattoos. Many websites only have one thing in mind, that your website full of works of art as much as possible, even when it comes to tattoo designs shoulder. It's sad because people are going to choose a design they like and then run to get tattooed. They have no idea that the design will not come to look anywhere near as good and crisp as it looked in the paper it is printed.
This is a problem that exists almost everywhere you go, but here are a few tips that can help you avoid many of the low-end design shoulder tattoo there ...
You can do this by using internet forums. You will be able to locate tons of hidden galleries on the web. The great thing about forums is that most of the major issues are absolutely full of tattoos. You can stick your head into these issues and see where other people are finding their great work of art. You can find lots of links to many of the shoulder tattoo designs you've been missing good. It's just a simple alternative when you are tired of the large number of generic crap that comes while relying on search engines.
