DETROIT (AP) When Max Scherzer is on the mound, the Detroit Tigers have a chance to win pretty much any game - even without their top two sluggers.
Scherzer pitched seven impressive innings, outdueling Zack Greinke and helping the short-handed Tigers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1 on Wednesday.
Detroit was without Miguel Cabrera, who was given a day off, and Victor Martinez, who is dealing with a lingering back issue.
''Baseball's that type of game,'' Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. ''Even without your best player, you can go out there and win.''
The AL Central-leading Tigers scored two runs in the first inning against Greinke, and Scherzer (11-3) made the lead hold up.
The All-Star right-hander allowed a run and four hits. He struck out seven and walked two.
Joba Chamberlain struck out two in the eighth, and Joe Nathan struck two in a perfect ninth for his 18th save in 23 chances.
Greinke (11-5) allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings. He struck out eight without a walk.
''You look at their lineup today, and you think you are getting a break with Cabrera and Victor being out,'' Greinke said. ''But they were putting up great at-bats all day. I was throwing good pitches.''
Miguel Rojas of the Dodgers hit his first career homer in the fifth.
Scherzer escaped a first-inning jam thanks to some impressive fielding behind him. Yasiel Puig hit a one-out triple, but with the infield in, Hanley Ramirez hit a sharp grounder to Eugenio Suarez, and Detroit's rookie shortstop threw quickly to third to catch Puig off the base.
''That was a great play,'' Scherzer said. ''He just made an instinct play - saw Puig was off the base, and made a quick little snap throw. That just helped keep the game where it was.''
Rajai Davis made a sliding catch in left field for the third out.
Austin Jackson opened the bottom of the inning with a triple and scored on Ian Kinsler's single. Kinsler advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on a two-out single by Don Kelly off Greinke.
''You let a guy like that settle in, it can be a long day,'' Jackson said. ''For us to kind of get something going there that first inning, that definitely sparked us.''
Greinke was sharp after that. Detroit scored again in the fourth on an RBI single by Nick Castellanos, but the Los Angeles right-hander retired the last nine hitters he faced, striking out the final four.
But the Dodgers couldn't overcome Scherzer. They put men on first and second in the third, but Puig hit into a double play. In the sixth, Puig hit a leadoff double, but the next three batters couldn't hit the ball out of the infield.
''I like where I'm at,'' said Scherzer, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner. ''I feel like my curveball is improved from where it was at the beginning of the year. I feel like it's more consistent from start to start. At this point in time, I feel like I'm a better pitcher than I was in April.''
Matt Kemp went hitless with three strikeouts. He's now 0 for 21 against Scherzer.
Torii Hunter's sacrifice fly in the eighth gave Detroit another run.
NOTES: Dodgers manager Don Mattingly doesn't plan any major changes to the lineup when OF Carl Crawford returns from a sprained left ankle. There could be a logjam with OFs Kemp, Puig and Andre Ethier also in the fold. ''We're playing pretty well,'' Mattingly said. ''We'll just talk about it with (Crawford) - let him know where everything is.'' ... Kelly drew the second intentional walk of his career in the eighth inning. ... Detroit plays at Kansas City on Thursday night. The Tigers send LHP Drew Smyly (4-8) to the mound against RHP Jeremy Guthrie (5-7). ... The Dodgers return home to take on San Diego. Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw (10-2) faces RHP Odrisamer Despaigne (2-0) of the Padres.

February 28th: Day of Action for Political Prisoner Joshua "Skelly" Stafford
Call CCA Prison Warden to demand proper food rations for Skelly's health.
Skelly is not receiving the amount of food that it is medically documented that he needs. We are organizing a day to have everyone call in and tell the Warden or the Assistant Warden that we know about these needs and that they are not being met.
The call in day will be Thursday February 28, please call anytime between 9am-4pm.
The name of the Assistant Warden is Johnson
The name of the Warden is Pugh
The number for the facility is 330-746-3777, please call, select option "3" (not option 2, as we said earlier) and ask to speak to either the Warden or the Assistant Warden.
Sample Script: Hi my name is _________ and I am calling in regards to prisoner #57976-060 Joshua Stafford. For medical reasons Joshua needs increased caloric intake, and has yet to be provided with additional food rations. Please address this oversight of Joshua's caloric needs as both his family and friends are concerned about his health and well being.
*** They will tell you that he needs to get the request approved through medical, but this has already happened; the hold up is with the kitchen or the administration. They will put it on Skelly to talk to medical or his counsellor about it. We need to remind the prison that it's their responsibility to make sure he's getting the medical care his doctor has recommended. ***

(I posted this last June. It seemed appropriate to post it again today.)
A very brave man has died:
The last surviving Catholic priest imprisoned in the Dachau concentration camp has died at the age of 102, more than 70 years after surviving a Nazi death march.
The Rev. Hermann Scheipers died on June 2 in Ochtrup, Germany, the Catholic website Aleteia said.
He spent more than four years at Dachau after being arrested in 1940, reportedly for supporting Polish forced laborers. "Here, you are defenseless, without dignity or rights," Scheipers recalled being told on arriving at the Nazi camp.
Go here to read the rest.
2,579 Catholic priests, seminarians and brothers were thrown by the Nazis during World War II into Dachau. 1,780 of these were from Poland. Of these, some 868 priests perished, 300 in medical "experiments" or by torture in the showers of the camp.
The remaining priests, seminarians and brothers came from 38 nations. Besides the Poles the largest groups were 447 German and Austrian priests, 156 French priests and 46 Belgian priests.

(What shame you have brought upon your family's great name, Brian.)
The Great Steroid Inquisition of 2014 rolls on, Nation, as undefeated featherweight Brian "T-City" (eesh) Ortega has just become the latest UFC fighter to fail a drug test for anabolic steroids, testing positive for Drostanolone following his UFC on FOX 12 victory over Mike de la Torre. His failed test comes less than a month after Kevin Casey was busted for the same drug (along with Robert Drysdale, who was busted for elevated testosterone again) and less than one week after Mike King was similarly caught red-handed.
After compiling an 8-0 record on the RITC and RFA circuit, Ortega was called up to the big leagues to face de la Torre in his UFC debut. He submitted Torre via rear-naked choke within in under two minutes.
If you ask me, this whole thing is a crock of bullsh*t. We all know that steroids don't matter in Jiu-Jitsu; Ralek Gracie has already proven this, as has Chael Sonnen. Steroids just make you get tired quicker, bro, and your recovery time just goes, like…
As a result of the failed test, Ortega's victory over de la Torre has been changed to a no-contest. He has also been fined $2,500 and suspended for nine months. My guess is he won't be receiving a call from the UFC when those nine months are up. Sucks, bro.

It's somewhat ironic that Lady Gaga once again ranks as the top-earning celebrity under the age of 30. This year the singer underwent an experience usually reserved for old people: hip surgery.
But of course Gaga's injury wasn't caused by decaying bones and muscles. She had a labral tear, likely from the intense dancing she does during her shows. And after her surgery the Mother Monster didn't just hide away to recover. She rolled out in a custom-made 24-karat gold plated wheelchair.
Those kinds of antics (and her massive social-networking power) helped land Gaga in second place on our annual Celebrity 100 list. Her earnings alone put her at the top of this list. We estimate Gaga earned $80 million between June 2012 and June 2013. She would have earned even more if she had been able to finish her tour.
Women dominate our list of the Top-Earning Celebrities Under 30: Seven of the top 10 of women. As in past years, we didn't include athletes to keep the list more Hollywood-focused. We talked to agents, managers, producers, executives and other in-the-know folks to come up with our estimates, which include all entertainment-related income. We don't deduct for taxes, agent fees or the other costs of being a celebrity.
Full List: The Top-Earning Celebrities Under 30
Most of the women on our list are pop stars who earn just as much as their male counterparts. Yes, Justin Bieber is in second place with $58 million. But Taylor Swift is close on his tail. The 23-year-old singer-songwriter earned an estimated $55 million last year, ranking her third on the list. Swift's latest album, Red, sold 1.2 million copies in its first week. Those are almost unheard-of numbers in today's troubled music world. Swift also earns big from endorsement deals with companies like Diet Coke, Sony and Covergirl.
Rihanna comes in fourth with $43 million. The Barbados-born singer played 40 shows during our time period and releases a new album, Unapologetic. The record has gone platinum and netted hit singles like "Diamonds" and "Stay."
Jennifer Lawrence (who is new to the Celebrity 100) is the top-ranked actor on our Top-Earning Celebrities Under 30 list. Thanks to The Hunger Games franchise, she earned an estimated $26 million between June 2012 and June 2013 placing her 8th on our list. The 22-year-old actress also landed her first Oscar for her starring role in Silver Linings Playbook.
Lawrence is indisputably on the rise, while another actress who makes our list, Kristen Stewart, may have already had her moment in the sun. With the final Twilight movie hitting theaters in November 2012, she earned an estimated $22 million, placing her ninth on our list.
But Stewart doesn't have anything big on the horizon that will keep her earning at the same level. Like many child actors who earn a ton from franchises, she's now taking advantage of her earnings and fame to do smaller movies like the recent On The Road. Based on Jack Kerouac's famous book, the movie only opened in 107 theaters and grossed $8.7 million. Compare that to Breaking Dawn 2, which opened in 4,000 theaters and grossed $830 million.

Date Line Washington DC—On March 10, a number of "pro-choice" groups will observe the fourth annual National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers. They say its purpose is to create a positive climate for abortion providers and to thank all abortion providers for their dedication to women and their families.
As a pro-life organization, Priests for Life is also commemorating this day in our own way.
Fr. Frank Pavone, the National Director of Priests for Life, released the following statement: "We see abortion providers as our brothers and sisters, and respect their lives as much as we respect the lives of unborn children.
"Yet it is precisely because of our respect for them that we listen carefully to the pain and anger they have because of abortion. Abortion psychologically destroys the doctors who perform it. In January of 1998, for example, a New York abortionist told the New York Times magazine, "I guess I never realized I would find [performing abortions] as unpleasant as I do. I really don't enjoy it at all. It's not a rewarding thing to do..." Likewise, abortionist David Zbaraz told the Washington Post (March 3, 1980), "[Abortion is] a nasty, dirty, yukky thing and I always come home angry."
"Priests for Life is involved in reaching out to abortion providers to let them know that we care enough about them to call them out of this destructive work. We assist former abortion providers to find peace and healing, and we want abortion providers to know that there are people who have been where they are, and who are ready to help them stop doing abortions.
"Also, if the pro-choice community cares about women and abortion providers, we call them to denounce the many cases of the rapes and sexual abuse of abortion clients in legal abortion clinics. Many of these cases have come to light. Abortionists know that these girls want to keep their abortion secret, and that they are therefore extremely vulnerable to sexual abuse, since reporting it means they have to admit to their abortion.
"We also call on the abortion industry to clean itself up by providing the proper regulation, sanitary procedures, emergency medical equipment, and other safeguards in place for other types of surgery but so often missing at abortion clinics. What we ultimately want to see is all abortion facilities closed, but while they are open they can at least take measures to limit the harm they do.

Pisa Tinoisamoa back at practice, Knox is special teamer of week
By Vaughn McClure
Bears linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa is back on the practice field Wednesday for the first time since rupturing the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee against the Packers in Week 1.
Tinoisamoa is expected to be available when the Bears next play at Atlanta, Oct. 18.And he expects to keep his starting job at strong-side linebacker.
Fellow linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer did some warming up and might be limited coming off a rib injury.
Receiver Devin Hester sat out but did not have a neck brace following his neck injury against the Lions.
Other players that appeared to be out were Kevin Payne, Tommie Harris, Lance Briggs, Adewale Ogunleye, Alex Brown and Frank Omiyale. The Bears have abbreviated practices the next two days with this being the off week. They get Friday, Saturday and Sunday off.
Happy returns: Rookie receiver Johnny Knox was named NFC special teams player of the week following his 102-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against the Lions. Knox totaled 147 return yards against Detroit.

I hope that every father had as happy a Fathers' Day as I did. It started with going to church, a fun outdoor ceremony. Then we all–my wife and I and three of our four kids–packed up a picnic lunch and drove to a park near Lake Harriet in Minneapolis. We took a number of photos, of which I will share only a few. Here, Ali and Kathryn carry the cooler to our picnic site:
My son brought his dog Harper, a mutt that seems to be mainly German shorthaired pointer, with some pit bull and other unknown breeds mixed in. My son saved her from the pound, as she had been adopted and returned more than once and was about to be put down. At a year or two old, she is extremely energetic:
Harper is the sort of dog that can drive you crazy with her superhuman energy, but someday some miscreant might threaten you in her presence, in which case…well, it's a really, really bad day for the miscreant.
I took this photo of my wife Loree, Harper, Eric, Kathryn and Ali, just moments before…well, hold that thought:
So we were resting in the shade when 15 or 20 young people, carrying ladders, an accordion and other paraphernalia, came along and started setting up three or four feet from our picnic blankets. Shakespeare in the park! They set up their "proscenium"–string in the grass, actually–and started practicing sword fighting and wailing in unison. It was a little much. So, having considered and rejected the idea of waiting until the players were midway into their act and letting Harper off the leash, we set out to walk around Lake Harriet–part way, anyway.
Hours later, after working in the garden and swimming in the pool, we grilled sensational steaks and had dinner on our screened-in porch–since a severe thunderstorm warning was in effect, nothing unusual for Minnesota in June. I'm sure I've had a better steak sometime, but I can't exactly remember when. The one missing kid, Laura, who just got married, as some readers will remember, called to say Happy Fathers' Day. For those who took note of her wedding, here she is on her honeymoon in Grand Cayman, snorkeling:
Does any of this have any public, or political, significance? One would prefer to say No. But the truth is that private life, as exemplified by the Fathers' Day that my family has just enjoyed, is increasingly controversial. Whether anything is private–that is, none of the government's business–is, these days, debatable. We have heard much in recent years about an alleged split between social and libertarian conservatives. In my opinion, that division is overblown. What all conservatives want, in essence, is to be left alone. Call yourself a social conservative or a libertarian, it doesn't matter: on Fathers' Day, you just want to enjoy your private pursuits. You want to picnic with your children and enjoy a somewhat over-the-top dog. But lurking in the background is another force, which goes by the name Liberalism, that doesn't want you to have a private life. Liberalism wants to enlist you in the state's project, whether you like it or not. It wants to replace family life with something else, something more modern. Which is why Fathers' Day has a somewhat subversive aura.
So, we say: Happy Fathers' Day!

The Dodgers' infield gathered on the mound with two outs in the seventh inning Monday. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly was there along with interpreter Martin Kim.
Hyun-Jin Ryu was up to 103 pitches, the most he'd thrown in six weeks, but there was no way he was coming out.
Five pitches later Matt Adams had struck out, the inning was over, and the Dodgers' rookie left-hander had done something Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke could not: He took a nearly non-existent margin for error and ran with it, pitching seven shutout innings against the St. Louis Cardinals in the Dodgers' 3-0 victory in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series.
The Dodgers trail the Cardinals 2-1 in the best-of-seven series with Game 4 set for tonight.
When Mattingly came out for a visit, "I felt completely fine. My body was in good condition," Ryu said, "Whenever you feel that kind of trust from your manager, it motivates you to commit and make sure you get that last out."
From his first pitch Monday, Ryu was committed to making the most of his second chance this postseason. Even before that, while warming up in the bullpen prior to the game, Ryu said he realized his fastball "was on point."
His 95-mph fastball to Carlos Beltran in the first inning was the fastest Ryu has thrown a baseball in the major leagues. It was called high for ball four, but Beltran was the Cardinals' only baserunner for four innings.
David Freese's sinking-line drive single fell just out of Yasiel Puig's reach in the fifth inning to break up the no-hitter. Ryu finished with three hits, one walk, four strikeouts — and one giant victory that may have saved the Dodgers' season.
"He came out and the first pitch was lighting up the radar gun to where we usually see him finishing the game," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said. "He emptied his tank early. He was ready to go and he was dominant."
Ryu was shelled last week in his playoff debut against the Atlanta Braves, and said Sunday he hoped could last five innings against the Cardinals.
Afterward, he said the win ranked among those in the Olympics and World Baseball Classic Finals as the biggest in his career.
"He didn't make a lot of mistakes," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said of Ryu.
Hanley Ramirez and Mark Ellis both went 2 for 4. Puig went 2 for 3 after starting the series 0 for 11, and had one of three extra-base hits in the fifth inning off Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright.
The veteran right-hander was the losing pitcher for the first time in 16 October appearances, losing to a less experienced opponent like the Dodgers aces', Kershaw and Greinke, in the Dodgers' one-run losses in St. Louis.
Wainwright allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings. He walked none and struck out five before an announced sellout crowd of 53,940 at Dodger Stadium.
Mark Ellis ignited the fourth-inning rally with an opposite-field double, aided largely by a miscommunication in the outfield.
Center fielder Jon Jay and right fielder Carlos Beltran converged on the ball, but the ball landed in the right-center field gap as both players slowed down at the last second.
Ramirez, batting third three days after suffering a hairline fracture in his ribcage, belted a fly ball to right field, deep enough for Ellis to tag up and advance to third base.
Ellis scored when the next batter, Adrian Gonzalez, hit a line drive down the right-field line for an RBI double. It was the Dodgers' first run since the third inning of Game 1 on Friday, ending a streak of 22 innings without a run.
Gonzalez went to third base on a groundout by Andre Ethier. Then Puig — demoted to sixth in the batting order for the first time as a Dodger — announced his presence loudly with an RBI triple off the top of the right-field wall.
Puig missed a home run by a couple feet but took time to flip his bat at the beginning and celebrate at the end of his sprint around the bases.
"I think he's just excited," Mattingly said. "I'd like to see him run right away. Obviously he thought it was gone. I don't think you can assume it's out of the ballpark."
There was reason to celebrate. Three clutch hits were more than the Dodgers have gotten all series, and more than enough for the victory. Brian Wilson pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Kenley Jansen a scoreless ninth.
Ramirez gave the Dodgers an insurance run with his RBI single in the eighth inning off Seth Maness. Carl Crawford, running from second base on the play, was ruled safe by home-plate umpire Mike Everitt on a foot-first slide ahead of catcher Yadier Molina's tag.

Sadly in some situations, by the time the sitter has been educated, the damage to Mom and her confidence has been done. Just keep it in the back of your mind.
Take those articles the other ladies gave you to the sitter and ask her to read them. Then arrange for a meeting to discuss them. If she seems excited about them and is buying into them, then move forward. If she's arguing the point, her unwillingness may be a sign that she's not a good fit.

PGA Tour: Gary Woodland didn't have to overpower the par 5s to take the lead at Torrey Pines. Woodland made five birdies on another tough day of scoring on the South Course for a 2-under 70.
PGA Tour: Gary Woodland didn't have to overpower the par 5s to take the lead at Torrey Pines.
Woodland made five birdies on another tough day of scoring on the South Course for a 2-under 70. That gave him a one-shot lead over 20-year-old Jordan Spieth (75) and Marc Leishman of Australia (72) going into the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego.
The final round won't include Tiger Woods. In a shocking performance at course where he has won eight times, Woods went seven straight holes with a bogey or worse and matched his worst score on American soil with a 79. Woods missed the 54-hole cut.
Woods had to rally just to break 80.
After a poor chip on the par-3 eighth hole (his 17th of the round), he chipped in to save par. On the par-5 ninth hole, he flubbed another chip to about 8 feet and made that for par and a 79.
Asked to stop for a comment at least with CBS Sports, Woods said, ''No, I'm done.'' He signed a dozen autographs, climbed into a van, and was driven away.
A dozen players were separated by only three shots going into today, including San Diego native Pat Perez and Ryo Ishikawa of Japan.
LPGA Tour: Na Yeon Choi shot a 7-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead in the season-opening Bahamas LPGA Classic, chipping to a foot to set up a birdie on the par-5 18th hole.
The seventh-ranked Choi, a seven-time winner on the LPGA Tour, birdied three of the last four holes in her bogey-free round to reach 15 under on Atlantis Resort's Ocean Club course in Paradise Island.
Lizette Salas was a stroke back. She also had a bogey-free 66.
Jessica Korda and Paula Creamer each eagled the 18th to reach 12 under. Korda, the second-round leader, had a 72 and Creamer shot 71. Creamer also eagled the par-5 11th, but had a triple-bogey 8 on No. 15.
Third-ranked Stacy Lewis was tied for fourth at 11 under with Amelia Lewis and Jenny Suh. Stacy Lewis had a 68, Amelia Lewis shot 66, and Suh had a 71.
European Tour: Spain's Sergio Garcia won the Qatar Masters in Doha after he birdied the third extra hole to beat Finland's Mikko Ilonen in a playoff.
The 34-year-old Garcia made the playoff after overcoming a three-stroke deficit heading into the final round. He birdied six of the last 12 holes for a 65 and his second victory in three events.
Ilonen holed an 18-foot birdie putt at the last hole for a 66 to tie the Spaniard at 16 under.
It's the 11th European Tour success for Garcia and 25th worldwide. He won his final event of 2013, the Asian Tour's Thailand Golf Championship in Bangkok.

This was the best fight that I watch so far even before, during the game and after the game. This fight was really enjoyable for many reasons.
Conor McGregor vs Eddie Alvarez was a very historical UFC MMA Fight, between 2 of the best MMA fighters of the MMA world and HISTORY was made to that game. This game was marked as "CHAMPION vs CHAMPION". The Featherweight MMA Champion Conor McGregor decide to go 1 division up and he fought with Lightweight MMA Champion Eddie Alvarez. Conor McGregor knocked out Eddie Alvarez at the 2nd round with a superb boxing combination and send him to sleep. This match was one of the best MMA fights ever that took place at the UFC lightweight division and Conor McGregor became one of the legends of the MMA World.
Conor McGregor performance was fantastic, and the notorious became the 1st man that hold 2 belts in UFC MMA history from different divisions. Conor McGregor was insane fast and his accuracy and timing was almost perfect. It was the greatest UFC fight night and we saw one of the best MMA Knockouts in the history of this sport. He knocked out Eddie Alvarez with style, got out of the cage almost unscratched and made Eddie Alvarez looked like an old and amateur fighter.
"SANTA CLAUS is back in town" is a funny phrase that describes this MMA Fight, because at the UFC 205 press conference before the fight, Eddie Alvarez mentioned that "SANTA CLAUS do not exist" and that MMA fight was going to be an easy fight for him. BUT things went totally opposite and for Eddie Alvarez and he lost his belt by Conor McGregor, so now we say that "SANTA CLAUS is back in town", not to humiliate Eddie Alvarez, but we say it because it sounds funny after all.
Conor McGregor is a special MMA fighter that tries to get inside the head of his opponent and mess with him. Some MMA fans believe that is just trash talking, but I think that is a very clever tactic and we are going to watch some moments of this tactic as pre-fights highlights of this game. Also we are going to see Conor McGregor getting mad when Dana White and UFC were not prepared to give Conor McGregor the 2 belts after his win as after-fight highlights. Conor McGregor was pissed off and disappointed and it was kind of funny how he was reacting.
If you are an MMA fan, they are lot of chances to be a McGregor fan too. Also they are some questions to answer at the end of the video. Watch the video and enjoy !!!

As usual, the Rolling Meadows girls basketball team brought its fast-paced game Tuesday night to the Ken Carter Gymnasium in Arlington Heights.
And no one was faster than guard Jackie Kemph.
The 5-foot-5 junior sped to the basket for multiple fastbreak layups and short bank shots -- hitting 12 of 16 from the field -- for a career-high 31 points as Meadows did nothing to harm its 72 points-per-game team scoring average.
The Mustangs won their Mid-Suburban East opener 75-57 over Hersey, using a 16-4 second-quarter run to pull away for a 34-20 edge at intermission.
Kemph wasn't only about scoring baskets.
She also had 8 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals as Meadows ran its record to 8-0.
"We just didn't have an answer for her," said Hersey coach Mary Fendley, whose team is 3-4 and 0-1. "You can't afford to double team her because their other players are so effective. They scored 75 points and I would say she had her hand in about 60 of them."
The Hersey offense, though, deserved a hand.
Its 57 points were the third most anyone has scored off Meadows this season.
"We like to say it all starts with defense but that was our downfall tonight," said Kemph, who made one assist to her sister Allie for a layup in the first quarter. "We gave up 37 points in the second half -- that's not OK. But we can go back and fix a lot of things."
The Mustangs certainly don't have much to fix on their transition game.
If they weren't getting layups, they were dishing the ball out for 3-pointers.
Junior Alexis Glasgow had 2 in the first quarter. Her second one gave the Mustangs an 18-9 lead.
Glasgow finished with 15 points and three 3-pointers.
Hersey rallied to within 18-16 on a 3-point play by Ashley Raulli and free throw by Morgan Harris to start the second quarter.
But that's when Meadows answered with its 16-4 run.
"The biggest thing we keep talking about is running for your teammates," said Meadows coach Ryan Kirkorsky. "And I thought the kids really put that on display tonight.
"Jackie scored a bulk of the points but that's the result of the other kids running their lanes with her. It's a fun way to play the game."
Kirkorsky watched all ten of his players enter the scoring column, including junior Elizabeth Vasilogambros, who tossed in a pair of 3-pointers in the final nine minutes.
"I thought Elizabeth was tremendous," Kirkorsky said. "She has been playing in junior varsity games and shooting with a lot of confidence, and that transferred over to this game."
Ashley Montanez, whose steal near half-court and layup started the second half, finished with 10 points and 4 blocks. Jenny Vliet pulled down 5 rebounds.
"I thought everyone played awesome," Jackie Kemph added. "Our people off the bench were great."
Junior Chloe Prodanovic became the 10th Mustangs to score when she hit a 3-pointer in the final two minutes. Sami Kay, Morgan Keller and Katie Shewmon also contributed to the Mustangs offense which has not been held under 60 points just once (in a 59-28 win over Conant).
Harris finished with a career-high 20 points and 3 assists for Hersey while Casey Weyhrich added 12 with 4 assists. They were all-tourney selections at the Maine West Tip-Off Classic.
Senior forward Erica Hill chipped in 10 points with a team-high 9 rebounds for the hosts.
"Scoring 57 points, I ws happy with that," Fendley said. "Actually, I thought our defense on transition was pretty good but she (Jackie Kemph) is so quick she just went coast-to-coast a lot of times on us.
"We do not see Rolling Meadows now until the last game of division play so we know where we stand now. Our goal will be to match up better with them in February."

Lars Moisture Farm
Two generations of the Lars family sought to make a living on this hardscrabble moisture farm on Tatooine, contending not just with the planet's hot and arid conditions but also with vicious bands of Tusken Raiders. Anakin Skywalker visited the farm in search of his mother Shmi, who'd married Cliegg Lars but been kidnapped by Tuskens. Later, Luke Skywalker grew up there, raised by Cliegg's son Owen and his wife Beru while Obi-Wan Kenobi kept watch from afar. Imperial stormtroopers searching for R2-D2 and C-3PO burned the homestead and murdered Owen and Beru, leaving Luke determined to learn the ways of the Jedi and fight the Empire.

Owen Lars
Owen Lars continued his father Cliegg's efforts to build his homestead into a productive farm, working alongside his wife, Beru. Helping with the dreary chores required to keep the farm profitable, Owen relied on his nephew Luke Skywalker. He could not rein in Luke's drive for adventure, though. Young Skywalker longed to leave Tatooine and join the Imperial Academy, to live life among the stars. Owen forbade it, reminding Luke that he was needed on the moisture farm. Skywalker would eventually leave the farm, but under tragic circumstances. Imperials searching for missing droids razed the Lars homestead and killed Owen and Beru.
Beru Lars
As a young, shy girl, Beru Whitesun's aspirations did not reach beyond Tatooine. She was content to marry Owen Lars and lead the tough life of a moisture farmer. Beru also fulfilled the role of guardian and substitute mother to young Luke Skywalker, and repeatedly voiced her support for his dream of joining his friends at the Academy. Beru fell victim to the Empire when Imperial stormtroopers raided the family farm in search of droids thought to have top-secret plans for the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star.
Cliegg Lars
Cliegg Lars was a modest, good-hearted moisture farmer who lived on the Lars homestead, not far from the township of Anchorhead. During a trip to the bustling spaceport of Mos Espa, Cliegg fell in love with Shmi Skywalker, a slave owned by Toydarian junk trader Watto. Cliegg purchased Shmi's freedom and, soon after, made her his bride. They lived a quiet existence for years on the homestead, surviving against the harsh desert elements. With Owen, Cliegg's son from a previous union, and Owen's girlfriend Beru Whitesun, the Lars homestead was a tiny island of familial warmth amidst the endless desert wastes. Until tragedy struck...
Luke Skywalker
Luke Skywalker was a Tatooine farmboy who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known. Along with his friends Princess Leia and Han Solo, Luke battled the evil Empire, discovered the truth of his parentage, and ended the tyranny of the Sith. A generation later, the location of the famed Jedi master was one of the galaxy's greatest mysteries. Haunted by Ben Solo's fall to evil and convinced the Jedi had to end, Luke sought exile on a distant world, ignoring the galaxy's pleas for help. But his solitude would be interrupted – and Luke Skywalker had one final, momentous role to play in the struggle between good and evil.
Shmi Skywalker Lars
The mother of Anakin Skywalker was also a brave and resilient woman who survived life as a slave to become a Tatooine moisture farmer. Shmi surrendered her son to the Jedi Order, putting him on a path to become one of the greatest Jedi. Her death at the hands of Tusken Raiders became a critical step on Anakin's journey to the dark side.
A harsh desert world orbiting twin suns in the galaxy's Outer Rim, Tatooine is a lawless place ruled by Hutt gangsters. Many settlers scratch out a living on moisture farms, while spaceport cities such as Mos Eisley and Mos Espa serve as home base for smugglers, criminals, and other rogues. Tatooine's many dangers include sandstorms, bands of savage Tusken Raiders, and carnivorous krayt dragons. The planet is also known for its dangerous Podraces, rampant gambling, and legalized slavery. Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker both grew up on Tatooine, and Obi-Wan Kenobi spent years in hiding on this desolate world.

Pumpkin Pie Donut Hole Recipe
If this isn't the perfect marriage of two amazingly delicious foods, then I don't know what is. I mean, how could it get much better than donuts and pumpkin pie? Could there be a better fall breakfast? I think not. I love having donuts with coffee in the morning. Of course, I don't eat them every morning, but on the weekends it's a nice treat.
This recipe makes donut making super easy. These donut holes are baked and not fried, so they are healthier than the alternative. If you're looking for a delicious autumn-flavored breakfast, then give this a try. You won't be disappointed.
Pumpkin Pie Donut Holes
1 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
In a large bowl, toss the oil, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin and milk, then whisk until well combined. Pour the flour, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice on top of the wet ingredients. Now stir it all together, just until combined.
Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop little balls of batter, about 1 tablespoon each, into the cups of a greased muffin tin. Bake the donut holes at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
While the donut holes are baking, melt the butter in a bowl and mix together the cinnamon and sugar in another bowl.
Right after you remove the donut holes from the oven, remove them from the tin, roll them in the butter and then roll them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Serve warm.

When the light turned green and the car ahead didn't move after a few seconds, Michael Lambert said he honked his horn at what turned out to be an unmarked police car.
In a twist on the typical traffic stop, a DeLand police officer told a driver it was his "lucky day" and offered him a warning rather than a citation. But the driver demanded the traffic fine.
And when a traffic hearing was held weeks later, the officer didn't show. Now, the driver is fighting to drag the cop into court to explain why he shouldn't be held in contempt for skipping the hearing.
Again, this wasn't your typical traffic stop.
The driver was well-known criminal defense attorney Michael Lambert. And Lambert said the police officer accused him of "impolitely" honking his horn. That was after Lambert honked his horn at the unmarked police car, which had remained stopped at a green light. On top of the unusual accusation, Lambert said the police officer tried to intimidate him by calling for backup in the form of "two humongous motorcycle cops."
Lambert subpoenaed DeLand police Detective Christopher Jusick to appear at a hearing on April 15 for the traffic citation, which read "Improper use of horn (Driver blew horn upon green light switch)." Jusick had already been subpoenaed to appear, as is routine by the Clerk of Courts for such hearings. But Lambert issued his own subpoena just to make sure.
Still, Jusick didn't show.
"In my mind, he was a coward," Lambert said in a phone interview. "He just wasn't going to show up. But if you are going to abuse your power to pull people over, you better have the intestinal constitution to stand before the court and say this is what I did and this is why I did it."
Now Lambert has filed a motion before County Judge Shirley Green to order Jusick to explain why he shouldn't be held in contempt of court for not appearing despite two subpoenas. Lambert is also asking that Jusick pay for the time Lambert wasted attending the traffic hearing and the cost of Lambert's court reporter.
"You explain to me what authority you had to take 20 minutes from my life and during those 20 minutes bring in these two huge motorcycle cops to scare me," Lambert said in the interview.
Jusick would say little when reached by The News-Journal recently.
"At this time I'm not going to assist you with your story," Jusick said before hanging up.
The story started just after 9 a.m. on Feb. 21, when Lambert was sitting in his car stopped at a red light at Amelia Avenue and International Speedway Boulevard in DeLand as he headed to court. The light turned green, but the car ahead of Lambert didn't move. He could see the driver looking down at something.
Lambert said he's guilty of doing the same thing a few times a week when stopped at a traffic light which turns to green. In those cases, another driver will blow the horn at Lambert and he said he waves a mea culpa and drives on.
In this case, Lambert said he did what he usually does when it's another driver not paying attention to the traffic light. Lambert counted to five and then honked his horn.
"I just tapped it a little bit and he shot off like a rocket," Lambert said.
Lambert figured the driver was embarrassed. He didn't figure the driver was a detective in an unmarked police car. Detective Jusick briefly pulled into a parking lot and then swung in behind Lambert and switched on his emergency lights.
Lambert pulled over and grabbed his pen and notebook.
The cop asked him if he knew why he had been stopped. Lambert said no.
Lambert said Jusick responded: " 'You impolitely honked your horn.' "
Jusick then went back to his car with Lambert's driver's license, registration and insurance.
He came back about 10 minutes later.
"He told me, 'It's your lucky day, I'm only giving you a warning,' " Lambert said.
Lambert demanded the $167 citation.
"You are absolutely not going to give me a warning," Lambert recalled saying. "You have already interrupted my day. And if you have the authority to stop me then you better give me a ticket."
That's when Jusick called for backup as he wrote Lambert up for alleged improper honking.
According to Lambert's motion to hold Jusick in contempt, the backups were two motorcycle officers each over 6 feet tall and one estimated at more than 230 pounds.
DeLand police Sgt. Chris Estes said he didn't know the height and weight for the two motormen, Gregory McWhorter and Trinity Petrella, but confirmed they are big.
"They are large gentlemen," Estes said.
Estes said Jusick, a 10-year-veteran of DeLand police, had not had problems with traffic stops in the past.
Jusick cited Lambert under Florida statute 316.271 "horns and warning devices" subsection (3), which states, "The driver of a motor vehicle shall, when reasonably necessary to ensure safe operation, give audible warning with his or her horn."
After about another 10 minutes, Lambert said Jusick handed him the citation and advised the attorney that he didn't have to go to court but could simply pay the fine.
"Oh no, we will see each other in court," Lambert said he responded.
But that hasn't happened.
On April 11, Jusick sent a letter to traffic infraction hearing officer John A. Pascucci which read, "Sir, I am officially requesting that the citation be dismissed." Then he cites the case.
Pascucci did not dismiss it and the hearing was held on April 15. Jusick didn't show and Pascucci threw out the ticket.
But Lambert wants Jusick to appear in court. Lambert said Jusick has to understand that he has to obey the law as well.
"This isn't about me," Lambert said. "It's about the law and everybody being responsible to follow the law. If they have the right to just interrupt people's lives, write tickets and make them come to court and then they don't show up, it kind of makes a joke of the entire system."

99Rock Music News: Watch Coldplay's Video for Their New Song 'Midnight'
By Jay Tilles
Coldplay surprised fans today with the unexpected release of a new track and accompanying video titled "Midnight," presumably from their forthcoming album.
The Mary Wigmore-directed clip was produced with a black and white film negative look adding to the already atmospheric feel of singer Chris Martin's heavily effected vocals. Watch the five-minute video below:
Although not much is known about the band's new record, one thing is certain, the album title won't be as confusing as 2011′s record-turned comic book, Mylo Xyloto. Martin laughed about it with Australian radio station 2dayfm saying, "The next one we're releasing is much easier to pronounce."
Coldplay will perform at the iTunes Festival at SXSW in Austin, TX on March 11.

How would your life change if you could instantly lose all of your excess body fat and double your energy level? Perhaps you would spend more time playing with your children or enjoying the company of friends. You may think that you don't have the willpower to lose weight permanently, but what if there were something else happening inside your body?
The truth is that you aren't at the mercy of your willpower. With an all-natural, healthy nutrition and wellness plan in place, you can get your weight under control and improve your overall health and wellness. It all comes down to finding an effective strategy to boost your metabolism and strengthen your immune system.
If that sounds like a dream come true but your belief that the dream can actually come true died long ago, you are not alone. Commit to reading through this Flat Belly Forever review completely and see if your belief is restored even a little. By the end, you will have all of the information you need to determine whether this program can help you look and feel better in a healthy manner.
The next few minutes will pass whether you continue reading and give a healthier body one last shot or you do something else with your time. Why not give yourself one more chance?
What Is Flat Belly Forever?
You want to have a flat belly forever, but what exactly can you expect from a nutrition program marketed under that name? This is clearly a health and wellness program that claims to help you flatten your stomach, but there are even bigger claims at stake.
The program's creator, John Barban, promises to reveal fat-burning secrets that allow you to increase your metabolism and energy level while burning excess body fat, improving mental focus and strengthening your immune system. Further, Flat Belly Forever claims that you can get these results without any of these unreasonable requirements:
- Giving up your favorite foods forever
- Eliminating alcohol completely
- Suffering with digestive problems
- Counting calories
- Choking down tasteless, dry diet foods
- Fighting intense food cravings
- Waiting weeks or months to see results
- Experiencing low energy levels while starving
- Adjusting your schedule to include hours of exercise
- Regaining the same pounds over and over
The question is whether you can legitimately speed up your metabolism, burn fat and enjoy a flat belly forever through a well-balanced, reasonable nutrition program. Don't you need expensive supplements and a gym membership? Is nutrition really all you need to look and feel better?
In a joint effort by the American Diabetes Association, the North American Association for the Study of Obesity and the American Society for Clinical Nutrition, a group of medical professionals completed a study into the effectiveness of treating and preventing type II diabetes through weight management. The study suggested that overweight and obese people restrict their calories and consume healthy foods in order to lose excess fat and prevent this life-threatening disease. Participants were also encouraged to incorporate some exercise into their lives.
A study released by Stanford University compared weight loss and other health improvements achieved by participants following select dietary programs. No exercise was required for the study, but participants following all diet programs experienced weight loss and other improvements to their health of over the course of year. Studies like these prove that it is possible to make positive changes to your body inside and out through proper nutrition. This gives hope that Flat Belly Forever can deliver the results claimed.
Meet John Barban
It's difficult to trust some weight loss programs because they don't reveal who created the program. You wouldn't walk up to a random man on the street and ask him to tell you the secret to losing weight and keeping your body healthy, especially if that man were struggling with his own weight and health problems. Following a nutrition program created by an unknown person or group is much like following the advice of that stranger.
John Barban proudly stands behind the Flat Belly Forever program. He was once that random overweight guy walking the streets with no business telling anyone else how to get healthy or stay fit. After wasting money and time on numerous health and weight loss products and even turning to starvation diets, he started to research proven fat burn studies.
With time, John learned enough about scientifically-backed fat burn methods to save his own life. He got in shape and then proceeded to help others do the same. He developed the Flat Belly Forever program because he wanted to share his research with the rest of the world.
Overweight, sick and out of energy myself, I decided to research John's journey and background before trying his program. What I found was a kind, generous soul with a commitment to helping other people turn their health, and their lives, around.
What to Expect from Flat Belly Forever
If you decide to give this program a try, expect to learn what science has to say about burning fat, improving your immune system and protecting your body against disease. The program is based on scientifically-proven fat burning tips that helped John and tens of thousands of other people lose and maintain weight without unhealthy diet pills, starvation and endless food lists.
When you implement simple, effective lifestyle changes detailed in the program, you will do one thing that has a dramatic effect on the rest of your life: put the healthy bacteria in your gut back in power. You will learn that overweight and obese people have too much pathogenic bacteria in their guts. Studies have shown that the body is more likely to store fat than burn it when this unhealthy bacteria overtakes the healthy bacteria. Your health spirals out of control from there.
This program shows you exactly how to balance that bacteria in order to boost your metabolism, burn fat easier, get rid of food cravings and increase your energy level. As you start to feel better, you will look in the mirror and notice that you look healthier as well.
Conclusion Flat Belly Forever
No program is perfect, and Flat Belly Forever is no different. While it promises to help you overcome your struggle with weight permanently, that is not necessarily a promise John can make. Whether you keep the weight off permanently or not depends on your commitment to following a healthy diet and lifestyle permanently. Don't take the claims for permanent change in your body to mean that you don't have to work for those results.
From my extensive research, I have learned that there is no magic pill that will instantly give you the body of your dreams. It hasn't happened for anyone else even if they try to tell you it has in order to sell weight loss products. John sells his program through scientific research and fact rather than deception, and he offers a 60-day money back guarantee. That means he instantly refunds all of your money if you aren't satisfied with the results achieved with his program.
The next 12 weeks of your life are going to pass whether you give Flat Belly Forever a sincere try or spend it feeling drained, sick, depressed and unhealthy. John changed his life through effective dietary guidelines, and now it is your turn to change your own life.

Humans and Water
Compared to the other animals featured in this section, humans seem to be at a disadvantage when it comes to water. We're dependent on the day-to-day availability of fresh, clean water. We can't survive on seawater, we can't live underwater, and we can't capture rainwater on our backs. We lose water through perspiration, urination, and by exhalation--we breathe out water vapor. Only by using our intelligence and ingenuity have humans managed to live in areas where water is relatively scarce, as well as places where it's salty or frozen.
How Much Water Is Inside You?
The rule of thumb is that humans are about 60 percent water by weight. Because of differences in body fat, men carry a little more than that, women a little less.
How Much Water Should I Drink?
Contrary to popular wisdom, you don't need to drink eight glasses of water a day to replenish your body's water supply. The water in food gives you about 20 percent of your daily needs. Beverages like milk or juice help keep you hydrated, too. The best rule of thumb for most people: Drink water whenever you're thirsty.
By the Numbers
- A typical woman needs about 2.7 liters (0.7 U.S. gallons) of water per day.
- A typical man needs about 3.7 liters (one U.S. gallon) per day.

It may have taken us longer than we would have liked but we have cleared the first tier of Legion! After a solid night of deep phase 3 pulls yesterday we came in tonight with focus and made quick work of Gul'dan. Though this fight marks the last boss for some of our raiders we are looking forward to seeing what some newer members can do in the Tomb of Sargeras! Thanks to all of our raiders who put in so much effort and time to be prepared and motivated for the past 7 months- Nythendra sure was a long time ago. I could not be prouder of our team and am excited for what lies ahead. For now, I hope we can all enjoy a well deserved break as we slip into a much more casual raiding schedule before new challenges arise.
Gul'Dan, Darkness Incarnate

I also think he wants to get that stadium built and have the Huskies play in it. Alot of what has got done is due to him and he finally has a full class of his recruits. Winning a PAC 12 Championship won't hurt his chances at all at getting a NFL Job, staying and seeing this thru will if deleivered well shows his loyalty to his kids and program about a plan put in place.
(I gotta be honest, when I read that post my first thought was "bullshit". I worked google and found that he turned down the Rams last year. Also found one guy tweeting that Sark turned down interviews this year.)
I'm just curious if you Husky fans think he's done a good enough job at Washington to warrant an NFL job? I know on Dawgman before the free boards went away it seemed that half the Husky fans wanted him fired. From my perspective Husky fans should be more worried about losing Josh Wilcox then losing Steve Sarkisian. If I was a fan of your program and had to pick between the two i'd promote Wilcox to head coach and let Sark walk.
I know Pehawk inparticular loves Sark and has talked about him being the Seahawks offensive coordinator someday. But what about NFL head coaching abilities. Do you think he has the chops?
Now i'll bow out of this thread, i'm just curious to read your replies and your thoughts on him and his NFL future. And also, if Wilcox was offered a head coaching gig elsewhere and the only way to keep him woudl be for him to replace Sark... what decision would you make?

CHILMARK, Mass. (AP) — President Barack Obama is pledging to do everything he can to make sure the new health care law works the way he intended.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama is criticizing congressional Republicans, who he says are trying to confuse people about the law. He targets other Republican opponents for threatening to eliminate funding for the law or shut down the government if they don't get their way.
The president says a lot of Republicans think he'll suffer if they make the law fail. But if that happens, he says they'd just be "sticking it" to the people.
In the Republican address, West Virginia Rep. Shelley Moore Capito argues for a delay in the requirement that uninsured consumers buy health care coverage or pay fines.

You know how everybody says that they can't sing and then you hear them and they're really not that bad? Well, that's not how it is with me. I'm truly dreadful, and when people hear me sing anything, even Happy Birthday, they probably think I'm kidding. Even dogs don't enjoy my musical moments.
I was in the car last week with Marley, singing along to the radio, and he began to whimper. I was concerned that his harness was bothering him, so I pulled over to check the straps, and he seemed just fine. Then I kept driving (and singing) and he whimpered again. I checked on him again, and then all was well. Puzzled, but pleased that he seemed okay, I kept driving. Though I had stopped singing by that point, I didn't make the connection between my silence and his silence until later.
I was at home, singing again, and my son said, "Mom, don't sing! Look what you're doing to Marley!" He had his ears back, his brow was furrowed so that he looked worried, his whole body was tense, and he was looking away. You could practically see the cartoon bubble over his head with the words, "Help! How can I make it stop?" In this picture with me singing, you can see that he looks less than thrilled.
Many dogs join in with a howl when people are singing. Others ignore it or walk away or whine. Still others pay extra attention, perhaps either enjoying it or trying to figure out if any relevant information is in the vocalization. How does your dog react when you sing?

A sturdy gentleman of German descent, Bodo Langen, guided our small class of five students through a memorable journey into woodworking that lead ultimately into the shaping of our creative souls. A dedicated Waldorf educator, he gave us insights into the pedagogy of this ancient art while facilitating our hands on experience in cutting, gouging, and carving wood. Often, over the sound of mallets tap-tap-tapping on gouges, he would speak in his resonant voice and say things like, "The inner part of the vessel is your soul life, as you shape the wood, you shape your Self."
In the two week course, in a workshop dedicated to woodworking and metalworking, with heavy wooden work tables set firmly in the middle of the room, shelves lined with gouges, planers, mallets, and cabinet scrapers, and several pieces of wood that would become bowls and lyres stacked on shelves against the walls, my project took shape, and I deepened an understanding of my own will force.
I was no stranger to the species of wood I worked with: poplar. A wonderful, tight grain with sweeping lines of beige and gray green, soft enough to carve, hard enough to retain its strength and form. Interestingly, I had originally picked out a board of alder, as I had not used it before. Perhaps intuitively, Bodo suggested I try the poplar. He did not know I use poplar in the wood puzzles and sprites I create through Syrendell. Somehow, I must be connected to the poplar so I gladly accepted Bodo's recommendation. Woodworking is all about the process. The end product, while satisfying to reach, is secondary to the woodworker's meditative and highly focused process of bringing the beauty out of the wood.
The journey began with a stroll through the olive orchard at Rudolf Steiner College, searching for the felled branches with the right amount of moisture to use: too wet and green, and the wood will shift in its form over time, too dry, and the wood is brittle and cracked. We returned to the wood shop, and one of the class used an olive branch for her project, the rest of us used wood of different species, some already cut into lumber. After cutting the wood to an approximate desired size, gouging begins.
The gouge is a sharp-tipped, curved metal blade with a wood handle. It can be struck with a mallet to remove larger pieces from the project. For more precise work, the handle is held in one hand, palm up, providing the forward motion, and the other hand is positioned on the metal blade to guide the sharp tip. Using the gouge represents the will force. The active pushing of the gouge, an extension of one's arm and physical being, symbolizes the force exerted to meet the need for the human being to shape the physical world. Concurrently, the other hand, as it guides the tip, acts as the will's thinking partner. The will is balanced in this elegant metaphor. Power and strength, tempered by conscious restraint and judgment.
The interior aspect of my bowl symbolizes my inner soul. The exterior aspect of the bowl symbolizes the outer world. The outer surface can also be regarded as the interface of the human with the environment. We had started working on our projects by first removing wood to shape the interior space, then moving on to work on the outside surface. Perhaps this represents the way the human should meet the world: consciously working on the inner life will reflect outwards to shape the outer life.
Translating all this wood wisdom to the Waldorf classroom, the young student at 12 to 14 years old has entered a developmental phase where he or she, in awakening to the separation of self and environment, must be active in the world to remain connected to it and to make a difference in it. Woodworking clearly is a way to experience the process of shaping the world. The exertion of the child's feeling, thinking, and willing Self, through the wood, has a lasting impression on the soul life of the child.
For those of you interested in incorporting the arts into your classroom or homeschool experience, check out Educating through Arts and Crafts, edited by Michael Martin. It is a compilation by craft artists and teachers of the pedagogy and techniques of working with wood through the middle school and high school years.

New computer data has cast doubt on a case of an alleged "runaway" Prius in Harrison, N.Y.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today said an examination of the "vehicle's onboard computer systems" found there was "no application of the brakes and the throttle was fully open." The findings contradict the driver's claim that she was had hit the brakes, but they failed to stop the car.
On the morning of Tuesday, March 9, a 56-year-old woman in Harrison said her Prius suddenly accelerated as she pulled out of a driveway and sped across the street before it slammed into a stone wall.
At the time, acting Harrison police chief Capt. Anthony Marraccini supported the driver's account of stepping on the brake pedal. However, after reviewing the vehicle data provided by Toyota, Marraccini reversed himself and told reporters "human error" may have been the cause of the crash.
Asked for comment on NHTSA's statement, Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons deferred to local law enforcement. "Toyota's role was to assist the Harrison Police Department with its accident investigation," said Lyons. "They will be issuing the final investigation report, including the information provided by Toyota and NHTSA.
On the day of the accident, the driver of the Prius told police she had not previously experienced problems with sudden acceleration in the car, because of news reports she was taking the car to a local Toyota dealership to be checked.
"She said the car accelerated and continued to accelerate," Marraccini told ABC News. "She said she tried to brake." According to Capt. Marraccini, the driver kept hitting the brakes, but the car wouldn't stop. The vehicle traveled about 150 feet before the driver lost control, crossed two lanes and hit a stone wall. The woman suffered an injury to her knee.
Marraccini said his department checked to see if the floor mat might have caused the accident. "From our investigation, it doesn't appear the floor mat was the cause," he said. The floor mat was secured to the car floor with the factory-issued hook and also tied to the seat base with a plastic tie. Marraccini said he believed it had been taken to a Toyota dealership to be serviced.
Toyota held a press conference in San Diego Monday to present the findings of an investigation into the circumstances of an alleged runaway incident on Interstate 8 on March 8. Toyota representatives said the electronic data from the 2008 Prius driven by James Sikes did not match the account of the incident given by Sikes, in which he claimed that the car's accelerator was "stuck."
At the press conference, Bob Waltz, Toyota Motor Sales vice president for product quality, restated Toyota's position that the company has pinpointed the causes of sudden acceleration incidents, and that there is no glitch in the electronic throttle, as some have claimed. "We believe that we have identified the two causes of unintended acceleration," said Walz. "Sticky gas pedals and floor mat entrapment."
At the same press conference, Toyota spokesman Mike Michels added that no one liked to talk about the other cause of sudden unintended acceleration -- drivers. "There are also human factors," said Michels. "NHTSA will tell you that the vast majority of sudden unintended acceleration incidents are due to human factors."
