MSNBC Anchor Touts 'Visionary' Amnesty Bill, Removal of Word 'Alien'
MSNBC Live guest host Geoff Bennett and executive director of the National Immigration Law Center Marielena Hincapie not only praised President Biden's proposal give a pathway to citizenship to roughly 11 million illegal immigrants on Thursday, they implied that opposition to the proposal's verbiage replace the word "alien" is tantamount to dehumanizing immigrants.
MSNBC Obit Lambasts Limbaugh as ‘Polarizing’ and Racist
On Wednesday afternoon, the wife of conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh announced that his advanced-stage lung cancer had taken his life. Unfortunately, within mere minutes of the news, several left-wing media outlets felt that they couldn’t report on Limbaugh’s death without first denouncing him as a racist, divisive, drug-addled bigot.…
Nets Accuse GOP of 'Testing' Biden’s Pledge With Unserious COVID Bill
After using Monday’s press briefing to lobby and advocate for the Biden administration to ditch working with Senate Republicans on a bipartisan COVID relief bill, the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) showed off their efforts during their evening newscasts. They also used the opportunity to attack the GOP’s relief bill as unserious and an attempt to “test” President Biden’s calls for…
WH Journos Urge Dems to Crush GOP, Psaki Mocks ‘Conservative Twitter’
With a blanket of snow covering much of the northeast, Monday’s White House press briefing served as a warm blanket for Democrats and the comfort food to the Biden team with Press Secretary Jen Psaki taking a shot at “conservative Twitter,” reporters urging them not to compromise with and be “rutheless” toward Republicans, and one of them wondering whether they’ve had an “easier” time with…
Doocy Presses Biden, Psaki on COVID Hypocrisy, Left-Wing Violence
With liberal reporters continuing to act as no more than lapdogs for the Biden administration or attack dogs from the left, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy has continued to separate himself from the pack (as he did during the campaign) by asking tough but respectful questions of Press Secretary Jen Psaki and President Joe Biden himself. On Monday, Doocy did just that with…
NBC Sucks Up to Kerry, Wonders What We Must ‘Sacrifice’ to Heal Planet
On Wednesday’s NBC Nightly News, correspondent Geoff Bennett offered his latest entry in a portfolio that’s increasingly geared toward sucking up to the incoming Biden administration. In an NBC News Exclusive with former Secretary of State John Kerry, Bennett lauded his new job as President-Elect Joe Biden’s climate envoy and wondered what Americans must “sacrifice” in order to heal…

Media Lions Turn Into Lambs: Biden Wants to ‘a Better Future' for U.S.
During the Trump administration, reporters stood up to the President, telling us that “democracy dies in darkness.” Well, democracy must being doing just fine as hack journalists have turned back into stenographers now that Joe Biden is President-Elect.
Nets Tout Biden Hiring ‘First, All-Female’ WH Team (Trump Was First)
Between late Sunday and Monday morning, the liberal media showcased their latest double standard between Democratic and Republican administrations and a failure to grasp reality. This time, outlets hailed President-Elect Joe Biden’s hiring of the “first” all-female White House communications team that’s “breaking barriers” despite the fact that the Trump administration’s top communications…
CBS Allows a Scant 36 Seconds as Biden Breaks Foot in Dog Accident
Joe Biden over the weekend broke his foot while playing with his dog. Despite being obsessed with even the most minor aspect of Donald Trump's presidency, the networks on Sunday night and Monday morning showed very little interest in the health of the 78-year-old president-elect.
FAKE NEWS: ABC, NBC Say Biden Picks Are ‘Mainstream,’ ‘Not Political’
On Tuesday afternoon, ABC and NBC weren’t just in spin mode for Team Biden, but trying one-up each other like men on a group date during an episode of The Bachelorette. After President-Elect Joe Biden held a public event with his top national security picks, the two networks lauded the picks as not only “diverse,” but “mainstream” and “not political.”
MSNBC Repeats Biden's Claim 'America Is Back' with Liberal Cabinet
MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell began her Monday show by enthusiastically touting Joe Biden's likely nominations to key cabinet and national security posts as a departure from the Republican hacks that President Trump has chosen. White House correspondent Geoff Bennett agreed and even parroted Biden's proclamation that "America is back."
Embarrassing: Lapdog Biden Reporters Debase Themselves in Presser
If anyone was hoping the third time would be the charm for consistently constructive or tough questions at a post-election Joe Biden press conference, Thursday illustrated that such a hope was a fool’s errand. Over the course of the 15-minute availability, the Biden team had the former vice president receive questions from only four reporters with three of them offering softballs.
Nets Spin Brutal Attacks on Trump Supporters: ‘Relatively Peaceful’
Rather than focus on the brutal attacks on Trump supporters in Washington D.C. over the weekend, including sucker punches and the harassment of the elderly, the partisan hacks at the network morning shows instead spun them as “relatively,” “mostly peaceful.”

Millions of American soldiers have given their lives in battle for their country. Because of this, Americans have the freedoms that they have today. Memorial Day honors those fallen soldiers and thanks them for their sacrifice.
In Ottawa County there is rich history; especially history pertaining to the War of 1812. This year on Memorial Day, there was a ceremony held at Perry’s Victory & International Peace Memorial on Put-in-Bay honoring those who have given the ultimate sacrifice and to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Treaty of Ghent which ended the War of 1812.
“We gather here in solemn remembrance,” said Reverend Mary Staley during the opening memorial prayer. “We pray to protect those in combat and violence.”
David Zavagno speaking at the Memorial Day ceremony on Put-in-Bay.
Next, David Zavagno, President of the Lake Erie Heritage Foundation, spoke. Zavagno was the spearhead of the Battle of Lake Erie reenactment in 2013 that brought thousands of history buffs and boaters to our area.
“The Battle of Lake Erie helped turn a corner in our nation’s history,” said Zavagno. “We have a plaque thanking those who helped with the bicentennial reenactment that we would like to present.”
“Thank you for standing with us to remember that our flag is still there,” said Zavagno.
Those attending the ceremony walked from the monument to De Rivera Park where a special plaque was unveiled honoring those who helped with the bicentennial reenactment.
Also speaking at the event were: Senior Chief Baney of the US Navy, Captain John Little Coast Guard 9th district Chief of Staff, Dennis Moore Public Affairs Officer Consulate General of Canada and Barbara Fearon a representative of the Nation Park Service.
The crowd then migrated from Perry’s Monument to De Rivera Park where the plaque honoring those who gave their time and efforts to executing the bicentennial reenactment.

Review: Pirates of Penzance at CenterPoint Legacy Theatre
Find Comic Relief at CenterPoint Legacy Theatre’s Pirates of Penzance
I had never seen any version of Pirates of Penzance, so I didn’t quite know what to expect when going to see CenterPoint’s production. I had many delightful surprises while seeing such a classic, yet unique, production!
The story follows now ex-pirate, dutiful Frederic in his pursuit to defeat his old pirate mates and live a more righteous way with a lovely lady he wants to spend happily ever after with.
Filled with Laughter
The audience was roaring in laughter much of the time! The supertitle screen played a big part in adding humor to this already comical show. When Victorian English was used on stage, explanations like “LUV 4 EVA!” and even emojis were placed on the supertitle screen to make sure everyone in the audience understood and could enjoy a good laugh.
I noticed a lot of young, middle school and high school students, in attendance and I could tell they really loved the show. I also noticed older adults were very entertained. This operetta was made approachable and enjoyable for all.
Pirates & Maidens
The pirates in this production aren’t what you would expect to see in the Caribbean, but instead British pirates with their own personalities and flare. I was keen to their steampunk style, their slick handshakes and their commitment to duty and rules.
Men at sea were happy to see the maidens in the show, daughters of Major General, who were flirtatious and excited to meet them as well. The maiden characters also had their own flare, with anime and Lolita influences – kudos to Costume Designer’s Nita Smith and Jeana Forthman for their inventiveness.
Mabel’s character played by Kahli Dalbow especially impressed me with her opera solos. She seemed effortless in beautifully singing the long and high notes.
My favorite song in the production was Major General’s ‘I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General’. The fast-paced, hilarious, lively song could not have been easy to learn! David Marsden, playing Major General that night, does an incredible job.
The pirates and maidens weren’t the only groups to do an amazing job of playing their unique characters. My favorite group was the Sergeant played by Matthew Thomas Castleton and his Police Brigade played by Britnay Fullmer, Katie Drake, Rachel Marsden, Elizabeth Jones, and Kannon Servoss. They fully dedicated to their roles, which were goofy and surprisingly skittish.
Playing till September 1st
I couldn’t believe it was already over during the last act, and you know what they say – time flies when you’re having fun! You are sure to have an entertaining night at CenterPoint Legacy Theatre when seeing Pirates of Penzance, showing till September 1st. Tickets available online at cptutah.org or by calling their box office at 801-298-1302.

That time, for the record, is 247 zeptoseconds. A zeptosecond is one billionth of a second, or 20 zeros and a trillion of a decimal point followed by a 1.
Previously, researchers dived into the realm of gyptosondes; In 2016, researchers reported in the journal Nature physics Used lasers to measure time in increments for 850 zeptoseconds.
This accuracy is a big jump from the 1999 Nobel Prize winning work, previously measured in women-times, of a billionth of a millionth of a second.
It takes femtoseconds to break and form chemical bonds, but it takes gyptosaccades for light to travel in the same hydrogen molecule (H2).
To measure this very short journey, physicist Reinhard Dörner of Goeth University in Germany and his colleagues shot X-rays from Petra III in a particle accelerator in Hamburg, Deutsches Alechrotron-Synchrotron (Deci).
The researchers determined the energy of the X-ray so that a single photon, or particle of light, would knock out two electrons from the hydrogen molecule. (A hydrogen molecule has two protons and two electrons.) Photons bounce one electron out of the molecule, and then another, a bit like a pebble at the top of a pond.
These interactions created a wave pattern, called an interfer pattern, that Donner and his co-workers could measure with a tool called the Cold Target Recoil Ion Momentum Spectroscopy (COLTRIMS) reaction microscope. The device is essentially a very sensitive particle detector that can record extremely fast nuclear and molecular reactions.
The COLTRIMS microscope recorded both the interference pattern and the position of the hydrogen molecule during the interaction.
“Since we knew the spatial orientation of the hydrogen molecule, we used it to accurately calculate the interference of two electron waves when the photons reached the first and second hydrogen atoms,” said Sven Grundmann, a university co-study. The author said in a statement by Rostock in Germany.
that time? Two hundred forty-seven gyptosaccades, with a fringed room at which the distance between the hydrogen atoms within the molecule lies, at which the photon is precisely timed by the wings. The measurement is essentially capturing the speed of light within the molecule.
Image: A particle of light, called a photon (yellow arrow), produces electron waves from the electron cloud (gray) of the hydrogen molecule (red: nucleus). The result of those interactions is called an interference pattern (violet-white). The interference pattern is slightly skewed, allowing researchers to calculate the time taken for photons from one atom to the next.
“We saw for the first time that the electron shell in a molecule does not react to light everywhere at the same time,” Dorner said in the statement. “Time is delayed because information within the molecule spreads only at the speed of light.”
The results were detailed in the journal on 16 October Science.

What do you do in the summer when you want to travel with your Jeep and family, do some wheeling, and attend the biggest Jeep Fest in the nation? You go to Butler, Pennsylvania, for the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival, of course! We’ve attended for two years now and plan to make it for a third year on Father’s Day weekend, June 13-16, 2013. This year’s event will be held just out of town, the venue promises to be more jeep-friendly, with more trails and room for growth, and will even allow dogs and their families to attend.
By now most 4x4 aficionados know that the jeep was originally developed by the Bantam Car Company of Butler way back in 1940. Of course, things didn’t work out too well for Bantam when Willys and Ford won the final contract for the jeep, and the ensuing years are history. That is, until the Butler County Tourism & Convention Bureau teamed up with the Butler County Historical Society to create an event to pay homage to the city where it all started. What they didn’t realize was how big a deal they were creating and how fast and large it would grow. The most recent event hosted 30,000 people over three days, with 1,500 registered participants from 25 states.
With a combination of parades, exhibitions, show ’n’ shines, and off-road venues, the Heritage Festival had something for everyone. The June event promises to be bigger and better, with the addition of more trails that promise to be harder and longer for those that have the Jeep to handle them. Registration is open for the 2013 event at www.bantamjeepfestival.com and promises to be the best Jeep Fest ever.
Jeep Across America
This year we were fortunate to be on our Jeep Across America tour, where Editor-in-Chief Rick Péwé drove his bone-stock WWII jeep across the country and back, stopping at various venues along the way. Sponsored by Omix-Ada, the world’s largest replacement Jeep parts company, the trip started in Tempe, Arizona, cruised to the Rubicon Trail for the 60th annual Jeepers Jamboree, and then to the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in Butler, Pennsylvania. From there Rick travelled up to Nova Scotia, Canada, and down to Georgia where Omix-Ada is located. After a few more spare parts were stocked up, the trip ended up back in Arizona before going to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Having returned home from Vegas to Southern California, Rick still needs to put 400 more miles on the jeep to make the trip an even 10,000 miles. Any ideas?

ART DISPLAY @ HML
Call for Artists
Huntington Memorial Library is sending out a Call to Local Artists. We strive to celebrate local creativity and provide a venue for greater exposure to the arts for everyone in the community. If you’re interested in displaying your 2-dimensional artwork, just stop by the library and ask for the Art Display Packet which contains all of the information you need to get started. These materials include the application and guidelines and are also available on our website. There are no application fees and the selected artist will display their work for a full 2 months. This is a great opportunity for maximum exposure to people from all walks of life since 250 to 350 people visit the library every day.
Current Artist on Display – Melanie Yoshiko Castine
Yoshiko’s collage/assemblage constructions invite the viewer to enter a miniature environment held within a box.
The work entices the viewer to step inside the environment and react to the stimuli of words, pictures, found objects, ephemera, textures, etc. The variety of media creates a tactile environment, inviting the viewer to interact with the work. The boxes contain many levels; physical, emotional and intellectual. The longer you look, the more you will experience.
Step inside to see where the box takes you.
Yoshiko discovered her creative talents early on, following in the artistic footsteps of her mother, a graphic designer and painter, and her grandfather, a watercolorist and sculptor. In addition to drawing and painting, collage came naturally to her – she created her first collages at the age of five. The enjoyment of taking images from magazines out of context, mixing them up and telling a new story became a passion.
Yoshiko received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Purchase College, where she created the first shadow box that began her journey in three dimensions. Finding inspiration in the well-known shadow box artist, Joseph Cornell, she developed her own aesthetic and went on to show her collages and assemblages in various exhibitions in New York City, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Her artwork has received numerous awards for mixed media and can be found in many private collections.

A mum has hit back after being criticised for giving her son condoms and alcohol for his 18th birthday.
When an image of the birthday jar she gave the teenager was shared on Facebook , unimpressed commenters weighed in to brand it 'inappropriate'.
The parent, from Sydney, said she had been targeted by "prudes" after sharing the picture.
She wrote: "I didn't think I'd get this much hate from so many prudes."
And she said she was trying to teach her son to be responsible.
The mum wrote: "Sorry to those that aren't able to have an open relationship with their teenagers.
"I was a teen mum and want to make sure all my kids are protected and know where to go if they have any questions.
"With so many unwanted pregnancies especially in young teens it's not just the girl's problem, it's also the boy's and my kids are being taught to be respectful, safe and responsible young gentlemen and ladies.
"We all have sex get over it. Stop making it such a taboo subject."
It came after other social media users branded her gift "weird".
One commenter wrote: "Who wants condoms from their mum, and who wants them as a present? Happy birthday son, now go have a s***"
Another wrote: "You bought your son a variety of condoms for his birthday? Is it just me or is that weird."
But not everyone was unimpressed. One parent posted: "Good on you for having an open and honest relationship with your kids! Our family is the same."

Hi friends! I am guest designing on the STAMPlorations blog for the Throwback Thursday feature today. I have 3 cards to share with you today featuring quick and easy backgrounds.
My job is to select an inspiration card from another designer and re-create their card in 3 new ways.
My inspiration card was created by the queen of CAS card design, Tenia Nelson! I’ve long admired Tenia’s distinct style of card making and I have been in awe of her talent for clean and simple designs.
My goal was to add backgrounds to the card while preserving as much white space on the card as possible to keep the CAS feel of the cards.
I love this card she created with this fabulous floral digital stamp and a simple paper pierced background. I challenged myself to create something similar with quick and easy backgrounds.
I’ve used the Bloomfully: Kindness stamp set for all of my cards today. I stamped them on watercolor paper and used my Karin Brushmarkers to add color. I cut them down to 3 x 3″ squares and for two of them, I used the same gold embossing technique around the square that Tenia has used in the card she created. What a pretty detail! The third floral image I created was fussy cut out to be added directly onto one of my backgrounds.
Let’s check out what I created using Tenia’s card as inspiration!

Hi, Can anyone help me?
I’ve re-installed 10.3, but still my pc won’t even peep unless i unplug the ATA cable on my sdb (my data disc). (It loads normally if i do unplug it.) Then, I connect it up and warm boot it where it loads normally.
This problem occured without me altering the bios.
What should I do?
Would you mind clarifying: If you boot from a powered off system, it hangs during POST? If you unplug sdb it POSTS, but then you plug it in, warm reboot and it POSTS?
Also (sorry, just checking) you are not attaching the data cable to the drive wile the power is on correct? That is not recommended. Sure, you can get away with it sometimes, but it can damage the drive or controller. (Don’t mean to sound critical or naggy - and I am sure you are likely not doing this. . . )
If it won’t POST from a cold boot, then it is BIOS / Hardware related. If it hangs during booting the kernel or Grub it can be something else entirely.
I am sure we can help get it sorted out, just let us know what the exact story is.
Thanks for your interest.
This problem seemed to occure when I left my os distro in the tray and re-started… Since then my established setup fails to make it to the peep from cold: just the fan spins. When I unplug the data cable to my sdb, re-start from cold, it will go ahead and load the os from my primary drive but of course my data disc is not connected.
If once passed the peep from cold with sdb cable disconnected, I pause at the 1st green screen and connect the sdb data cable. then press the warm-boot button on my pc it loads normally as it used to. I hope thats clear.
That is odd. By the way - it is a very bad idea to connect data cables to devices while running.
If no POST with both drives connected, I seriously suspect a failing drive or a drive misconfiguration. BIOS must recognize the devices during POST. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the OS on them. If you get no beep, no POST screen, etc. the issue is hardware. I would suggest verifying the jumpers on the drives to ensure they are set correctly (try master / slave rather than cable select, etc.) and see if you can get BIOS to see them correctly.
Perhaps you also have a failing drive? Hook them up one at a time, boot to a live CD and run #smartctl -a /dev/hda and look at the smart attributes, especially: pending reallocated sector, reallocated sectors and any SMART errors.
The system should definitely POST and recognize all drives with out significant delay if the hardware is good and configured correctly.
Hope this helps!

Crosby has been perfect over the past two weeks after a rare two-miss contest in Week 10 against Philadelphia. He'll play indoors on Thanksgiving this Thursday against Detroit, a team which he posted a season-high 16 points against in Week 5.
Crosby has a stellar 104 points on the season, putting him four points behind New England's Stephen Gostkowski for the league lead. He's a great option in Week 13 as he should see ample opportunities.

State Police Col. Kerry Gilpin’s retirement announcement was no surprise, but now people want to know what Gov. Charlie Baker’s going to do to fix this law enforcement agency’s tattered reputation, starting with the appointment of a person with actual leadership skills.
Leadership under Gilpin was nonexistent. When her troopers were doing perp walks, she was in hiding. By saying and doing nothing after every scandal, Gilpin added to growing public anxiety about whether anyone in a uniform can be trusted. The steady parade of state troopers in the news facing criminal charges for stealing the public’s money, and then the accusations of flashing genitals and badges at a concert, has made it harder for all decent police officers to do their jobs.
For law enforcement to work, the people must respect the badge. Under Gilpin, that respect was waning. It’s unconscionable how some cops are treated in this country, but Gilpin did nothing to address the worsening reputation of the State Police.
It wasn’t that long ago that the State Police uniform commanded only respect. The venerated status of state troopers in society represented honor and decency, but that was before all the headlines.
Gilpin’s replacement must have a firm grasp of the department’s internal chaos and external image problems, and a plan to make things better.
The new colonel must understand that we the people own those badges and guns, and we entrust them to troopers who are supposed to use their power to protect and serve, not pervert and steal. Here are some steps the new colonel must consider:
- Mandatory character and duty retraining — not to teach troopers not to steal or expose themselves, but to inspire them to be the role models they should be, that kids can look up to, and adults admire. Not a lot of people aspire to be cops these days. Why would anyone want a job where the public wonders whether you’re a bad guy? Being a cop should be a noble and important job, for which there should be lots of competition, yet the applicant pool is scarce. When you don’t have a lot of candidates to choose from, leadership and training matters even more because there’s a greater risk of hiring a bad apple.
- Change in policy regarding overtime and details. The current system makes troopers greedy, and makes the public cynical about whether they’re wasting tax dollars. We should encourage and support people who want to work more, and welcome the added police presence details bring. Allowing cops to make extra money also reduces the risk of corruption and makes the job more appealing. But when the department’s culture becomes obsessed with making money, the internal ethos of the agency turns rotten and everyone is affected.
- Change the uniforms. Seriously — jodhpurs and jackboots belong to another time.
The new colonel must be able to effectively communicate the vital role of law enforcement, and the importance of putting the public interest first.
That Gilpin didn’t understand this is reflected in her decision to stay as long as she did — only exactly as long as she had to, at 25 years, to maximize her pension. She is leaving a demoralized law enforcement agency in crisis. That suggests she has put her own interests first. A leader who prioritized the public interest wouldn’t be leaving this mess.


In his five years as a defensive back in Georgia's program, Kirby Smart experienced two trips to the Peach Bowl and one journey to the Outback Bowl.
Smart has his alma mater in the College Football Playoff in just his second season as head coach of the Bulldogs, but he remembers being a redshirt junior in 1997, when Georgia followed up a 9-2 regular season with a 33-6 demolishing of Wisconsin in Tampa. Such experiences, he believes, would be lessened if the current four-team playoff format was expanded to eight or 16 teams.
"Speaking as a former student-athlete, some of my greatest memories were those bowl games that mattered to a 10-win season," Smart said, "and you would devalue that as you increase the number of teams in the playoff. Right now, we value the end of the season. You think about the last two or three weeks of the season and the amount of attention and the amount of big games — we probably got it more right this year than ever with a lot of the conference championship games as de facto play-in games.
"I think that's the right way to go about it."
Smart, along with Alabama's Nick Saban, Clemson's Dabo Swinney and Oklahoma's Lincoln Riley, participated this past week in Atlanta in a news conference promoting the upcoming four-team extravaganza, which will pit Clemson and Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and Oklahoma and Georgia in the Rose Bowl. Each of those matchups will take place New Year's Day.
All four coaches have playoff experience, with Smart having served as Alabama's defensive coordinator in the 2014 and 2015 playoffs and with Riley as Oklahoma's offensive coordinator in the 2015 event. All four have plenty of familiarity with conference championship games as well, and they are in agreement that four is the maximum number for the playoff field.
"I like the system that we have, to be honest with you," Swinney said. "I think we've been in a playoff mode every week for about four or five weeks now. Every week has been a playoff mentality for us, because if you lose you're probably out. It's been all you've got every single week.
"Every game is the biggest game of the year. I think the season is already long. It's very long."
Alabama and Clemson have met in each of the last two national title games as their respective conference champions, which means they played 15-game seasons. Increasing the playoff to eight teams would result in the two finalists likely having to play 16-game schedules, which matches the duration of the NFL's regular season.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh came to the Wolverines after a four-year stint with the NFL's San Francisco 49ers, and he's all for an expanded field.
"I would just analyze it in terms of every other sport, whether it's gymnastics, basketball, pro football, FCS football — pick a sport and they have a playoff to get to a champion," Harbaugh said this past week in a news conference for the Outback Bowl. "None of them start with the last four. You have a great model with the NFL, with their 12 teams, and a great model in the FCS, which had 16 teams and now has 24.
"Eight teams would be better than four and 12 would be better than eight. I think 16 is kind of the sweet spot."
Swinney counters Harbaugh's argument by stressing that fewer teams in a playoff enhances college football's regular season, which separates the sport in a good way.
"If you know you're in the playoffs, certain games become very irrelevant," Swinney said. "All of a sudden, you don't play certain players because you know you're in and you don't want to get a guy hurt. There are a lot of unintended consequences that would creep in, just like you see in all the other sports. I love the NBA, but I don't ever watch it until the playoffs, because it just doesn't matter. In our sport, it still matters. I mean, it matters. It matters what you do in September, October and November.
"There is nothing wrong with going 9-3 or 8-4. Maybe that's the best you were that year, and now you have a chance to go play a good bowl game somewhere and grow your team and develop some guys for the spring. That's kind of what I grew up in, and I'm kind of traditional in that."
This is the fourth playoff and the first with two teams from the same conference. Had an eight-team field been in place this season based on the final playoff rankings, a third SEC team — Auburn — would have been included before Pac-12 Conference champ Southern California, and there would still be the matter of Central Florida being left out despite its 12-0 record.
Riley admits there is no perfect number to please everyone, and Saban repeatedly has stated that the attention placed on the playoff already has lessened the importance of other postseason matchups.
"Bowl games don't coexist very well with the playoffs relative to importance," Saban said, "yet they are important to positive self-gratification for a lot of players, coaches and fans who've had a good season. Expanding the playoffs would minimize that to a larger degree in terms of the importance of bowl games and the importance of players playing in bowl games.
"There are some issues that go along with the current system, and if we go to eight teams I'm sure it won't be long before you all will want to be talking about 16. I don't care if we have 68 teams in it. We'll still have a two-hour show on who should have been in it, just like they do in basketball."

The Lord said to Moses, “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft. ...
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, 2 “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— 4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. 6 Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, to help him.

“You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening. The head of this image was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its middle and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. Share Your Faith Products

Now when the wall had been built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed, I gave my brother Hanani and Hananiah the governor of the castle charge over Jerusalem, for he was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many. And I said to them, “Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot. And while they are still standing guard, let them shut and bar the doors. Appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, some at their guard posts and some in front of their own homes.” The city was wide and large, but the people within it were few, and no houses had been rebuilt.

The theme verse of 1 & 2 Kings are combined for two reasons: first, the two documents were originally written as one book, but were simply divided up because of scroll length. This is true also of 1 & 2 Chronicles and 1 & 2 Samuel, but in this case, the theme of both 1 & 2 Kings was best summed up together (in the other book pairs, each book had a more distinctive theme).
My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.

He made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high. Then he made the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. Under it were figures of gourds, for ten cubits, compassing the sea all around. The gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, and all their rear parts were inward. Its thickness was a handbreadth. And its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held 3,000 baths. ... Bible Scripture Verse Crafts

It was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, a man's face toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion's face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were carved on all the house all around. From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, as well as on the wall of the nave. The doorposts of the nave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. The altar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood And he said to me, "This is the table that is before the LORD." The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door. Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. Also there were carved on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the front of the porch outside. There were latticed windows and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; thus were the side chambers of the house and the thresholds.

8. Deuteronomy 18:10-13 For example, never sacrifice your son or daughter as a burnt offering. And do not let your people practice fortune-telling, or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft, or cast spells, or function as mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits of the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord. It is because the other nations have done these detestable things that the Lord your God will drive them out ahead of you.

He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits. There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals. Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz. On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished. Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference. Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward. It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths. Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits. This was the design of the stands: they had borders, even borders between the frames, and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side. Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round. The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself. On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it. He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around. He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form. He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin. Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south. Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the LORD: the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars; and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands; and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea; and the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were of polished bronze. In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained. Solomon made all the furniture which was in the house of the LORD: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence; and the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold; and the cups and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold. Thus all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the LORD was finished And Solomon brought in the things dedicated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

OK, two quick random things that have made my life much better just from discovery
- USB Copy Crashes. I've had full crashes on my Synology DS1812+ box which I've never seen before. The entire UI locks up, the machine is on, but doesn't respond to ssh and doesn't do anything. Finally tracked this down to USB Copy. I'm pretty sure that the old Drobo and DroboPro I'm using on good old USB 2.0 plugged in are the problem. They are very old (probably 8 years by now).
- Right now we are in the middle of uploading TB of data to backup so the tiny little 4GB Synology processors that are in the Synology 1812+ and 2413+ are just dying. And it still bothers me we are using SATA drives for all this storage...So on to...
Getting a new NAS to replaces the Drobos
- I do need a new NAS box, but while Synology is great, one thing @vlad has taught me is that your backups should be on different architectures so the bugs in a system don't kill you, so I've been using Synology, MacOS, and Drobo as the onsite storage systems, but now that I need to replace the Drobos its time to think of something new and the open source TrueNAS (fka FreeNAS) seems like a good choice. It is open source so you just need hardware to run with it.
- TrueNAS ixSystems and asigra. They make a rack mounted system called the R-Series that come in 1U, 2U and 4U and these are enterprise grade systems, so pretty pricy. And you actually have to talk with a sales rep to get a quote so definitely out of the prosumer range. But, the R20 is a 2U system with 12 3.5" bays and two 2.5" bays so good for hard disk plus SSD for machine. Asigra is the same way, so if you want it you need a demo. The R20 uses Intel Xeon so it is a beefy processor.
- Serve The Home madness for real IT professionals in data centers. This is a great focused site that is all about Servers and building big ones with some amazing ones like a 10 GPU, four 1.6kW Power supplies with 12 3.5" bays system for machine learning from Tyan that I really want but can't quite figure out why it needs to be in a home.
- TrueNAS Recommendations get a low-end Supermicro 4U with 36 drives (?!) chassis from eBay for $350 and build your own. I've been looking at the open-source NAS market and it makes sense to get a Supermicro chassis and then install ZFS. I had such a system running in my old job and it was great but hard to maintain, but now there are vendors who will build such a box and preinstall things. The cost is more than Synology, but it is pre-integrated but they are way more capable. So for the complete roll your own, you can buy a server from Supermicro as an example and build it. This is what I first did years ago when getting back into the technology game. It was quite a server machine with SAS drives etc. But they basically recommend for a 10+ disk system getting a Supermicro rackmount chassis although the ASRock Rack is decent although some models like the C2750D4I have had mass die-offs. Note that you do need ECC memory for the ZFS so this will make the prices a little higher. With just file serving a low-end Pentium can work. You also need a lot of RAM, the baseline is 1GB per TB of memory which is pretty crazy. 16GB is probably the home user sweet spot and you need 30W/HDD and get a Seasonic or other good brands like EVGA or Supermicro have their won. YOu really want SAS3 as it has better error correction. You should also probably get a mirrored SSD for booting but you only need about 120GB consumer SSD. And you may want to get a 10Gbe for future-proofing. You only need 5400 rpm drives as these will run cooler. You only need a SLOG SSD machine for lots of writes and L2ARC only makes sense if you have more than 64GB of RAM.
- TrueNAS Mini. If you want to get something pre-made for a small business or home that is not rack mounted, then iXSystems sells a couple of pretty expensive but pre-integrated systems all using the Atom processor. For mere mortals, a low end is the Mini E which is 4 bays for $849 plus the cost of the disks. If you are going the distance though, then the step up to the top-of-the-line Mini XL+ is $1600 (without disks), but it does have 32GB of memory, 8 3.25 drive bays, and an SSD bay plus dual 10Gbe Network which is pretty great. You can put it in your closet and attach it to a 10GBe network to future-proof it. The middle choice Mini X is 5 Drive bays plus 2 SSDs with Quad 1Gbe Networking for $1,149. I think if you are really going for it and not just getting a cheap Synology, then the Mini XL+ probably makes the most sense. With 20TB drives, we are talking about 160TB in a single chassis.
- Broadberry and other NAS appliances. There are other folks making NAS appliances based on FreeNAS which use "real hardware" so the prices start at $4K instead of $1.6K. These things are a real bump up, you move from SATA to SAS which increases drive reliability by 10x (they use better drives. For instance, the CyberStore 212S-NVMe as an example uses a dual CPU Xeon socket system with dual 10GBe drives running a Xeon Bronze 3204, dual mirrored boot drive which are $4K bare-bones, so a completely different class.
- Supermicro 2U Chassis for 2.5 disks or 3U Chassis full systems. A 36-drive system is crazy big for home, the 2U systems seem more reasonable with 16 drives. As an example, the SuperChassis 836BE1C-R1K23B is 3U with 16 hot-swap SAW, 1.2W power supply, and 7 slots. YOu still need to add the motherboard, CPU, memory, and drives of course. This is a big step up from the Mini Series
- If you do not want to do that, then there are some other makers

On 22 Sep 1783, Robert Coleman purchased three treasury warrants worth a total of 12,231 acres. That specific number suggests that he had somewhere specific in mind. Then on 16 Apr 1784, Daniel Sullivan completed a survey for exactly that number of acres in what was then Jefferson County, primarily in the knobs of present-day northwestern Bullitt County. Coleman's warrants and the original survey are shown below.
Surveyed for Robert Coleman 12231 acres of land in Jefferson County by virtue of three treasury warrants, No. 19516, 19544, and 19514 on the waters of Salt River and on the south side of Pond Creek and from the Fall of Ohio computed to be about 12 miles. Beginning at [A] two white oaks at a point N 45 W 200 poles from the West corner of George James and Daniel Sullivan's 463 acre survey, and running thence S 45 E 200 poles to their corner and the course continued with their line 420 poles to [B] the most southwardly corner, in all 620 poles [likely was closer to 520 poles], to two poplar, sugar tree, and elm, thence with another of James and Sullivan N 45 E 176 1/2 poles to [C] their most eastwardly corner, the course continued 65 1/4 poles to two poplars, S 45 E 1420 poles to [D] two sugar trees and an ash, S 45 W 1041 1/4 poles to [E] a black oak, ash and poplar, N 45 W 2000 to [F] two sugar trees, two poplar and two hickorys, N 45 E 800 poles to the beginning. April 16th 1784. Daniel Sullivan, deputy surveyor
For value received I do hereby assign our all my right and title and interest of in and to the above survey of twelve thousand two hundred and thirty one acres of land in Jefferson County to Benjamin Wynkoop, assignee of Joshua Barney, his heirs and assigns forever, and I request the register of the land office to issue a grant for the same to the said Benjamin Wynkoop, his heirs or assigns a witness of my hand and seal this the twentieth day September 1795. (signed) Robert Coleman. Witnesses: James P. Malcom, John Clement Stocken
As noted above, Coleman sold his title to this tract to Benjamin Wynkoop, and a deed was given to Wynkoop on 20 Feb 1786, as shown below. Then, in 1807, Joseph Wynkoop, heir of Benjamin Wynkoop dec'd, sold the entire tract to James Francis Moore and Joseph Brooks as shown on another page..

Facts have emerged from ongoing Nigerian Senate investigations that the inability of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to fix uncountable failed portions of Federal Highways is clearly linked to paucity of fund which by law, should be provided by the on the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA).
Accordingly, the direction of the investigation has shifted to find out why regulatory agency failed to remit about N800bn due to FERMA over the years.
President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, made the revelation while commenting on the passage of a bill for an Act to repeal the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency Act, 2002 and to establish the Federal Roads Authority Bill, 2019.
In his remarks, he noted that “I believe that we need to demand what happened to over N800bn that the PPPRA was alleged to have collected.
“I think that we will take that as a separate issue because we need to verify and confirm, even for the sake of allowing the PPPRA to defend itself. This is not something that we can sweep under the carpet. N800bn can do a lot of things for our country.”
Senator Lawan, who decried the inability of previous efforts by Nigeria in the concession of government enterprise failed as a result of systemic corruption, called for Public-Private Partnership in the construction of roads across the country for government to achieve its responsibility of providing good roads.
In his further submission, the Yobe Senator averred that “Corruption is also responsible for some of the challenges we face in our road sector.
“We recall that the privatisation of various enterprises was made right from 1986 till date, and in most cases the privatisation or concession processes were flawed and of course, we suffer as a country.”
It would be recalled that few weeks ago, the Minister of Works, Mr. Babatunde Fashola was engulfed in a national controversy for commenting that “Nigerian Federal roads are not that bad,’ thus firing up public anger as Nigerians felt embarrassed over the comment at a time when virtually every federal highway is in bad shape nationwide.

The United Kingdom is pulling together as one, with people from all regions doing what they can to help each other in the current crisis.
Gail Redmond of registered charity Via Wings in Dromore, County Down, Northern Ireland, says redundancies have hit the area hard.
Via Wings is a charity that supports families and has noticed a sharp rise in requests for help.
The charity normally gives out 85 food bags a month to people in need.
“Last week we gave out 105, many of which are going to people who are self-isolating,” Gail explains.
“One guy who contacted me on Friday, said: ‘I have never asked anyone for help like this before. But I have lost my job and can’t afford to feed my kids right now’. You could tell he was absolutely mortified about his situation and so humble.
“We have told pensioners not to answer their door when we deliver, but one old lady insisted.
“We told her she shouldn’t be doing that, but she replied: ‘I just want to say thank you’.
“The older generation are so apologetic when asking for help, they all say that they’re really sorry to bother you.”
Via Wings works with local schools and churches, social workers, care workers and other agencies in the area.
“Working in unity is what our grandparents used to do, and that is what we need to get back to doing, caring for each other,” Gail adds.
Man sets up project to send 100 free meals to NHS staff - now he's served 23,000!
Frontline NHS workers at Cardiff hospitals never go hungry after a long shift as local businesses have been delivering more than 1,000 free meals to their door each day.
Kasim Ali, who runs the city’s Waterloo Tea cafe is one of many ordinary people doing extraordinary things. He’s brought together local restaurants, cafes and caterers to provide a steady stream of fresh and nutritious meals to hard-working staff at University Hospital of Wales (Heath) and Llandough. They’ve now delivered 23,000 meals and 5,000 desserts to frontline workers through the Feed the Heath project.
“We offer dishes like shepherd’s pie, soup and healthy salads, plus vegan and halal options,” Kasim says. “There are about 25 companies in and around Cardiff who’ve got involved – from local, independent business to Michelin starred chefs.”
Kasim closed down his tea shops just before lockdown because he didn’t want to put his 60 staff at risk. “I think it’ll be about a year until we get back to where we were,” he says, “so we’re doing what we can to help others.
“I’ve got friends at the hospital and they’re grabbing whatever’s there to eat because they don’t have time – chocolate, pizza, cans of Coke. I wanted them to have a healthy meal at the end of their shift. We drop off hot meals to be dispersed across the hospital campus, in particular to the wards where staff are unable to leave and grab food because they’d have to take off all their protective gear and have a shower so they don’t risk contamination.”
Kasim developed a system where small kitchens could produce food safely and distribute it efficiently.
“A lot of people who are working together in kitchens are family members but we make sure others have safe distances between them. A local removal company, Go Panda, has a refridgerated van to pick up chilled meals and drop them off to the hospital, so staff can take them home to heat up later. We’re delivering 1,050 meals a day.”
The generous businessman started a fundraising campaign at the beginning of lockdown and within 48 hours he’d raised £8,000. That figure has now swelled to £66,000. What started out as a target to deliver 100 meals a day has risen to 10 times that.
“We have enough money to keep us going for about another month and anything left over will go towards helping the wellbeing and mental health of hospital staff once the crisis is over.”
And staff at the two hospitals have been delighted with the meals. “They’ve said, ‘You’ve stopped us eating junk,’” says Kasim. “It’s something for them to look forward to in the middle of their shifts. Knowing they’ve got a good meal coming helps take their mind off things and at the end of the shift they might have something chilled to take home if they’re too tired to rustle something up.”
All the companies involved also love what they’re getting out of the initiative too.
“We’re learning from each other all the time,” says Kasim. “And it works because we’ve all got a shared goal.”

Chinese treats for struggling families
Michey Chan from London is bringing fine dining to some very happy schoolchildren.
“I’m head chef for staff at The Dorchester Hotel, so I’d usually be preparing up to 1,000 meals a day but now I’m helping to feed key workers’ children and staff at Manorfield primary school in East London.
“It’s been hugely humbling. Manorfield primary itself is such a warm and inviting environment and the children are friendly and very accepting. We hosted a Chinese day and created a full menu from scratch, featuring sweet and sour chicken balls, tofu fried rice and much more. Many of the children said it was the best food they have ever had.
“There are so many families in need in the area and we’re also feeding up to 450 of them with care parcels going out every week.
“Since doing this I’ve realised I love the teaching side of it now and I’d love to teach children all day if I could!”
Football club scores with lockdown locals
Stenhousemuir Football Club is supporting hundreds of local families by delivering school meals to pupils during the coronavirus lockdown.
Since the Scottish football season shut down in mid-March, the Falkirk club have assembled an 80-strong team of volunteers.
On just one day last month, they managed to deliver more than 130 meals to children in the community.
They’re also carrying out tasks such as shopping and dog walking for those struggling in isolation.
Stenhousemuir chairman Iain McMenemy said: “Scottish football faces an uncertain future but there are other, more important matters to think about. The health and wellbeing of friends, neighbours and members of our community should be our top priority.
“We’re still looking for volunteers as we’re only in week seven and the smart money is probably on this being extended for two months.”
Volunteers offer a Helping Hand
Helping Hands Cheadle Hulme was set up by Lauren Henshaw (right) and Roshini Latham with the aim of sharing advice and matching people in need with volunteers or goods.
“Roshini and I are constantly monitoring requests and manning the volunteer phones,” says Lauren. “We also liaise with people offering services, dropping off goods and applying for council grants. I nip out to drop off donations when my toddler is napping and thankfully, a team of volunteers helps with soup drops.
“We’re also setting up a fundraiser to pay for a storage container for donations, cleaning products and ingredients for more meals. It’s just about keeping busy and making a bad situation better for everyone, isn’t it?”

This colourful quiche has a delicious pea, cheddar and basil filling and is dressed with mixed garden leaves.
2 ripe avocados
400g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
6 large free-range eggs
300g frozen peas
½ a bunch of basil (15g)
100g bag of mixed salad
extra virgin olive oil
1. Halve, destone and peel the avocados. Weigh the flesh – you want 200g to get your ratios right (if you don't have enough, simply top up to 200g with extra virgin olive oil). In a large bowl, smash up the avo, then gradually rub in the flour, a pinch of sea salt and 4 tablespoons of cold water until you have a dough. Knead until smooth, then wrap and rest for 15 minutes. For the filling, crack the eggs into a blender, then add the frozen peas and most of the cheddar. Rip in the top leafy half of the basil, add a pinch of salt and black pepper, and blitz until smooth.
2. Preheat the oven to 180C fan-forced (200C conventional). Roll out the avocado pastry on a flour-dusted surface to just under ½ cm thick. Loosely roll it up around the rolling pin, then unroll it over an oiled 25cm x 35cm baking tray, ease it into the sides and prick the base. Roughly tear off any big bits of overhang, then bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Evenly pour in the filling and bake for another 15 minutes, or until set, then finely grate over the remaining cheese. Dress the salad leaves with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice, season, then sprinkle over the quiche to serve.
Jamie's Easy Meals for Every Day airs Saturdays at 6pm on 10.

How could this happen at what is supposed to be the “world’s best airport hub?”
“A foreigner died after collapsing in the arrivals area at Incheon International Airport on Monday because emergency treatment was late. The Turkish national identified as Ankara Seihun collapsed near the baggage claim area after arriving from Istanbul by Turkish Airlines. Rescue workers were dispatched a few minutes later, but airport security guards blocked them from reaching the patient, saying entering the arrivals area from outside was forbidden.
Rescue workers finally reached the patient through another entrance at 12:11 p.m. A rescue worker said it seemed no one attempted first aid before they arrived. Seihun was first treated at the airport medical center and moved to Inha University Hospital, but in vain. A doctor at Inha Hospital said it was unfortunate that the emergency treatment was late, adding people can survive heart attacks if they receive emergency treatment within five minutes.”
Sure, someone screwed up big time, but what I would like to know is why there aren’t any emergency medical teams inside the arrivals area to be on standby for such an incident? What happens if someone gets sick on a plane and can’t get through immigration formalities and collect their baggage? Do they have to wait for rescue workers to be cleared by officials before entering?
This should not have happened.

Rooting for the Carey High School girls’ basketball team hasn’t been for the faint-hearted the last couple of years. That was certainly the case last weekend in Nampa at the State 1A Division 2 tournament.
Carey (17-7) played three games at state and all three could have gone either way. As first-year head coach Merrilee Sears told her Panthers Saturday in the fourth quarter of their 44-43 victory over the Tri-Valley Titans, “This game boils down to who wants it more.”
And Carey wanted it, getting a clutch free throw from freshman Medin Cenarrusa with two seconds left to claim the state consolation trophy—the Panther program’s fourth state trophy in five years.
“Our girls fought hard and played hard,” said Sears, whose team won 11 of its final 12 games this season, much like last year’s streak of 12 wins in the final 16 games that ended with the third-place trophy.
She added about her Northside Conference champions, “I told them, only three teams in the whole state get to walk away with a win to finish their season, and we did just that.”
Putting Carey on her back and leading the Panthers to the fourth-place prize was senior guard Jaide Parke. She emerged as the leading scorer of all players in all six divisions at the Idaho High School Activities Association tournaments in the Treasure Valley.
A little disappointed with her 20-point, 17-rebound performance in Thursday’s 39-35 overtime loss to eventual state runner-up Kendrick, Parke came out and equaled her career-best with 32 points and 6 boards in Friday’s 60-52 win-or-go-home success over Deary.
“Jaide puts a lot of pressure on herself and didn’t feel she played her best game against Kendrick,” said Sears, herself an All-State guard for an American Falls state championship team in 2000. “Against Deary she just wanted it and went out and made it happen.”
Parke played every minute against Deary and shot 8-for-16 from the field (3-for-7 3-pointers) plus 13-for-15 from the line. “Not many teams have man-to-manned us this season, but Deary did and really shadowed Jaide. Her teammates set screens for her and she got herself open,” said Sears.
Carey’s stingy 34.7 ppg defense limited Deary (12-8 record) to 33% shooting, after holding Kendrick to 19% shooting Thursday. Nevertheless the Panthers, leading 41-40 entering the final period, needed to outscore Deary 18-12 in the final period to stay alive.
A cool customer for a ninth grader, Cenarrusa scored 7 points with 5 rebounds against Deary and junior guard Lilly Rivera, so tough on defense, added 9 points in the victory.
Having played two 8 p.m. games at state, Carey had to turn around and tip off against Tri-Valley (17-5) Saturday at 9:15 a.m. at Nampa High. “It was an early morning game and it seemed like no one had any legs left,” said coach Sears.
Carey shot only 24% and Tri-Valley got 18 of its 43 points off of Panther turnovers. Yet Parke was amazing again with 26 points and 7 rebounds—and she got lots of help from senior Morgan Parke (10 points, 8 rebounds) and senior Angelica Zarate (2 points, 6 rebounds).
The Panthers didn’t lead until late in the fourth period when Zarate’s basket gave Carey a 38-36 lead. Finally, Cenarrusa’s defense thwarted the scoring of Tri-Valley 5-9 junior guard Victoria Branch (22 points, 11 boards, 4 steals) and Carey gained possession with 24 seconds left in a 43-43 tie.
Sears said, “That girl (Branch) had been killing us. We got the ball and set up a play that broke down. Medin drove to the basket and was fouled. We had a lane violation on her first free throw, then Medin made her second shot to put us ahead for good.”
The outcome meant that, over two years, Carey had won four of its last five games at state—two going into overtime, one settled by a single point, one a four-point win over Mackay in 2012, and Friday’s win over Deary that was virtually tied going into the fourth.
Parke’s scoring was the constant in all of them. Carey’s all-time leading career scorer (1,255 points in 4 years) pumped home 25, 28, 20, 32 and 26 points with a total 16 3-pointers in her final five state games over two years. And she put her name in the state record book Saturday.
Her 78 points (26.0 ppg) at state broke the class records of Richfield’s Teenie Kent (76 points, 25.3 ppg) set three years ago. Her 27-of-33 free throw shooting (82%) was another record. Her 13 free throws against Deary tied Savannah Prigge’s record from last year.
Parke ended up shooting 22-of-61 (36%) including 7-for-18 from 3-point range (39%) with 30 rebounds (10 per game). In three games at state last year, she scored 61 points (20.3 ppg).
It was Carey’s eighth trip to the state tournament. The Panthers were also the consolation champions in 1996, then captured third places in 2009 and 2012, and second in 2011.
Shooting 38% from the floor and making 15 steals using their pressure defense, the Dietrich Blue Devils (26-1) won their third straight 1A Division 2 championship 52-28 over Kendrick (16-11) in Saturday’s title game. Dietrich’s closest game was a 47-42 semi-final win over third-place Mackay (16-7).
Seniors Charley Bingham (17 points, 4 steals) and Cheyenne Hubert (11 points, 9 rebounds) guided Dietrich and its six seniors to a rare three-peat for coach Acey Shaw. Sophomore Jacey Shaw had 22 points in the Devils win over Mackay.
The Northside Conference has now produced all five champions—Dietrich from 2011-13 and Richfield in 2009-10—since the Idaho High School Activities Association moved from a 16-team 1A Division state tourney to separate eight-team 1A Division 2 and 1A Division 2 meets after 2008.
In other state results:
Bishop Kelly of Boise (19-7) won its first State 4A title 50-40 over Century of Pocatello (17-8) after Twin Falls knocked off three-time champion Middleton (25-1) in the first round; and Post Falls (24-1) won its first State 5A crown in 10 years 46-44 (OT) over Coeur d’Alene (21-6);
Also winning first state titles were North Fremont of Ashton (19-10) 45-40 over Soda Springs (23-3) in 2A; Snake River of Moreland (23-2) 51-34 over Filer (21-5) in 3A; and Kamiah (21-5) by a 60-29 rout over Lapwai (21-5) in 1A Division 2.
Carey’s final stats:
Overall record: Carey 17-7 (8-4 home, 9-3 away). Offense: 1043 points (43.5 ppg). Defense: 833 points (34.7 ppg). Individual scoring: Jaide Parke 412 points (17.2 ppg), 23 double figures in 24 games, 26.0 ppg state, new Carey career scoring leader with 1,255 points in 4 years; Morgan Parke 255 points (10.6 ppg); Lilly Rivera 130 (5.4); Medin Cenarrusa 113 (4.7); Angelica Zarate 48 (2.0); Ashley Durtschi 36; Kylie Castle 14; Natalie Villanueva 13; Paige Koudelka 12; Daphne Kirkland 10. 3-pointers (62): Jaide Parke 32, Rivera 15, Cenarrusa 11, Zarate 1, Durtschi 1, Kirkland 1, Villanueva 1. Free throws: Carey, 169-278, 61%; opposition 168-333, 51%.
