In a crunch week for the UK Government on its Brexit Withdrawal Agreement, NFU Scotland has returned to Westminster to meet key decision-makers to discuss the progress of the UK Government’s Agriculture Bill, and the priorities of its members from the EU/UK draft Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration.
Director of policy Jonnie Hall and political affairs manager Clare Slipper visited the parliamentary under-secretary of state for Scotland, Lord Duncan, as well as MPs and members of the House of Lords in a day of meetings in Westminster on Tuesday December 4.
The UK Government’s Agriculture Bill is completing its first stages in the House of Commons, where NFU Scotland has had success in achieving Defra’s agreement to an amendment which will establish a mechanism to repatriate red meat levy funding to Quality Meat Scotland.
With the Bill shortly moving to the Lords, NFU Scotland held discussions with cross-party members of the House of Lords in order to highlight further UK-wide areas of the Bill which it would like to see amendments on.
These areas include the creation of a multi-annual financial framework for agricultural policy payments, which would provide longer-term certainty for claimants and would protect the agricultural budget from discretionary spending decisions.
NFU Scotland also supports amendments to the Bill which will ensure food production and food security are at its heart, and which would protect food producers in Scotland and the UK from the threat of cheaper imports brought in under new trade deals with third countries that have been produced to a lower standard than the standards which domestic producers are proud to champion.
Mr Hall said: ‘NFU Scotland stands with the majority of business and industry organisations in that a no deal Brexit outcome must be avoided at all costs. That is why it is important that at this crunch point in the negotiations MPs on all sides recognise how much is at stake if we do not strike a deal on the UK’s exit from the EU.
‘While the coming days of debate in the Commons and the parliamentary vote on December 11 were dripping in politics, it is important that NFU Scotland maintains its presence in front of Westminster decision-makers to remind them of the interests of our members as they vote on the deal and as other Brexit legislation proceeds through parliament.
‘From the outset of the referendum result, NFU Scotland has maintained that a good deal for its 8,500 members will be one that delivers free and frictionless trade with the EU, ensures equivalence in the standard of imports, allows non-UK workers to come to Scotland to work in seasonal and permanent positions, and gives Scottish ministers the tools to develop and implement a new agricultural policy in Scotland that is genuinely fit to our unique landscapes and farming systems.
‘NFU Scotland has spent more days than ever before in London over the past few months, making a strong case for its members. We will not relent on these objectives, in this the UK Government’s crunch week and beyond.’

One of two Mushroom bands in NE Ohio that occasionally played the same clubs - not at the same time. The Cleveland Mushroom was started and led by drummer Buddy Maver, formerly of Charade (and before that, Dick Whittington's Cats and Bocky and the Visions). Along with Buddy, the band included Chet Florence on bass, and brothers Bill and Jeff Jeric on guitars. Bill Jeric had been in the James Gang and Chet Florence has been in the soul Sensations who recorded on Way Out. Like a few other bands of the time including Checkered Demon and Jessup, Chet was a black musician in an otherwise white rock band.
The band played covers and original songs, and did pretty well. They recorded an LP worth of original songs, trying to get a record deal, but nothing became of it.
In later 1971 or early 1972, the band broke up and Buddy and Chet became the rhythm secfion for the newly formed Rainbow Canyon.

While we anxiously await part three of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion, Kathy Hilton is opening up about where she stands with the future of the hit Bravo show. And it looks like things still aren’t so hunky dory as two “bullies” are going to have to get the boot in order for us to keep the socialite.
Speaking of Lisa Rinna and Erika Jayne, Hilton told TMZ, “Those two are desperate for a storyline and they’ll throw anybody under the bus.” Fans of the hit show are familiar with the turmoil between the three ladies as Rinna spent the last few episodes of the season dragging on some explosive “meltdown” that Hilton allegedly had while they were vacationing in Aspen — something only Rinna supposedly witnessed.
During the season finale, Kylie Richards revealed to the ladies that Hilton had an ongoing investigation into who was leaking the information to the press, which allegedly led back to someone on Jayne’s team. Prior to that, fans of the show slammed Richards for not having her sister’s back enough during a heated conversation between Hilton and Rinna.
“I just guess that I would’ve liked some support,” Hilton said of Richards, who she reportedly hasn’t spoken too much since the reunion. “Because everybody knows that this was, I mean I know and I had people from the show telling me, that this was a setup the whole time by these two girls.”
She added, “You know what? If people are really worried about me why wouldn’t they call Kyle, my husband, [or] production when Lisa said that I had a “break”? But [Lisa] decides to call the media, the press, her little go-to people and Erika! Erika. Why is she calling Erika? In the middle of me “scaring” her so much?”
Regarding her plans to come back to RHOBH, Hilton said if the cast was “completely the same, absolutely not.” She noted that “there are two bullies that intimidate a lot of the other girls,” again referring to Rinna and Jayne, before saying, “A couple speak up but most of them, they’re not being their authentic self when they’re pushed up to the wall and they’re afraid of those two bullies because they’re capable of anything.”
So, Andy Cohen, who’s going to keep their diamond? Jayne and Rinna? Or Hilton?
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesday nights at 8/7c on Bravo.

The entertainment industry in India roots back to the 1900s, when India’s first motion picture, RAJA HARISHCHANDRA came out. Fast forward to 2021, the entertainment industry has grown leaps and bounds, beyond anyone’s imagination. India produces more than 1500 to 2000 movies annually in more than 20 languages. That’s a lot of entertainment! These numbers are highest in the world! But how many of these movies are worth the audience’s time and money? Well, that’s the debate for the later part of the article.
A DEEPER DIVE INTO THE NUMBERS:
The industry may be the largest producer of shows and films, but in the quantity versus quality debate, it certainly loses. Most of the movies usually end up as flops or semi-hits or collecting an average amount of money. There are rarely a handful of movies that do solid businesses. Same is the case with the television shows where the TRP’s of most shows on most channels are negligible. Even the top channels like Zee TV and Star Plus majorly fail in delivering content which has the potential to reach the zenith of entertainment.
So why is the entertainment industry the way it is? Why is it unable to succeed in creating amazing shows and movies? Well, one of the major reasons is lack of good writing. A famous Indian actor, late MR Irfan Khan said, “if you want to become famous and make a lot of money, you may think about Bollywood. But if you are looking for a platform to nurture the artist within you, this is not a place for you.” And we tend to agree, because glamour comes before script here. Writing is secondary, the magnificent sets and the expensive makeup is primary. This leaves no room for actual talent to grow.
The movies here can be classified into two main categories, namely the KARAN JOHAR genre and the ROHIT SHETTY genre.
In the KARAN JOHAR genre, the entourage of the lead actress is of more importance than the art director. All that matters in such movies is the cost of production and an enormous amount of drama. Singing and dancing is a really huge part of this genre of movies. Even though the script may not be up to mark, these movies may do a really great business for multiple reasons.
The ROHIT SHETTY genre is more serious (or funnier) genre. On paper, it talks about dirty politics, sexism, rape culture, corruption, etc. and fair call, these elements are really great and should be spoken about, but on screen everything goes flying to trash. (Quite literally to be honest).
Flying cars, flying cops, flying goons and flying money just make the context of the film irrelevant and the main idea behind the movie often goes unnoticed and is overshadowed by the unnecessary action. Although these movies are trash in the eyes of the critics, they do phenomenally well by catering to the masses. But the critical acclaim of a movie is very important for it to be recognized as a movie of substance and concept. This factor is completely missing from most of the movies.
THE DEEPER REASON:
In the industry, nepotism and gigs go hand in hand. The children, relatives and friends of movie stars have a major upper hand in getting into show business, far more than a commoner. So, when these star kids, whose only qualification is that they are Mr. X’s sons and daughter come into movies without any sort of audition, they just destroy it head to toe. Credible actors who have spent years in acting schools and national school of drama seldom get any chance to be on the silver screen and even when they are, its usually for a supporting character with minimal screen time. This is one of the foremost reasons why good movies are rare here. There aren’t enough good actors to act in those movies.
Let’s take the case of this TV show everyone is going bonkers about. This show first aired amidst the lockdown and has broken all sorts of records since then. Everyone, including teens are talking about it. But what is so special about this show? The main reason everyone praises this show is because it has the most relatable content on the entire television. It talks about how a housewife is treated as a liability in Indian households. It doesn’t have a star TV actress, nor some illustrious banner producing it. The show contains a story and it contains actors who possess the ability of portraying the story beautifully. Also, people were so tired of Ekta Kapoor producing a new serpent princess every year, that this came as a hope of good television in front of everyone.
This shows that good content doesn’t need any support from anyone, and poor content can never be good with crores of rupees and tons of promotions.
Well as we conclude, we have to say that the entertainment is a two-sided process. We as an audience are responsible for the films we pay for and make them blockbusters. Films with abysmal content goes up to become mega blockbusters while high concept and authentic films collapse. This change will only be possible if we as consumers are more aware and choosier about the kind of movies and shows we invest our time and money in.

HUTTONSVILLE, WV (WOWK) — A Huttonsville correctional officer has been charged for allegedly bringing controlled substances and contraband into the facility over the course of three months.
According to a criminal complaint filed by the Elkins detachment of the West Virginia State Police, during the months of April through July, Homer Howell, 39, “conspired and delivered controlled substances/contraband into Huttonsville Correctional Facility and Jail while performing his duties as a correctional officer.”
During that time, Howell and an inmate in the facility allegedly “acted together” in conjunction with a woman outside of the facility “to help facilitate the delivery of contraband/controlled substances into Huttonsville,” troopers said.
The female individual “could collect U.S. currency via Cash App” and then would send Howell payments through Western Union; Howell, “upon receipt, would deliver packages into the jail,” according to the complaint.
Howell allegedly received two packages, one of which contained two cell phones and “suspected anabolic steroids”; Howell told troopers that “he would receive $1,000 to $2,000 per package,” and that he received a total of $8,000-$10,000 in total through the period of April to July, troopers said.
The complaint states that on July 18, troopers working with the Mountain Rivers Drug Task Force and the Mountain Lakes Drug Task Force and the Elkins Police Department executed a search warrant on Howell’s home.
During the search, law enforcement located two opened bottles of “suspected anabolic steroids” in 60 count per bottle, an LG flip phone, an LG smart phone and a sheet of paper “with possible package delivery dates”; Howell was not at the residence at the time of the search, troopers said.
On Aug. 2, Howell arrived at the Elkins detachment for an interview, and after being read his Miranda rights, he agreed to provide an audio statement, according to the complaint.
During his statement, Howell “advised that he would take the packages to an inmate … in cylindrical tubes wrapped in black electrical tape … by simply putting them in his pants pocket,” troopers said.
Howell told troopers that “he believed he was taking in sewing needles and hair grease,” but later told deputies ‘Deep in my heart and soul, I knew it was probably drugs,’ according to the complaint.
Troopers learned that the items found during the search “were supposed to go to the inmate,” and Howell told troopers that “he was supposed to keep the other phone”; Howell also told troopers that “he would help [troopers] by providing information about other individuals involved if he received relevant information,” troopers said.
On Aug. 11, troopers spoke with the inmate involved in the incident and received an audio statement after reading the inmate a Miranda statement, according to the complaint.
During that statement, the inmate “denied having much involvement” but he “did admit to helping gather money and helping people on the outside … collect money for him,” and that the inmate “believed collecting the money was related to drugs,” troopers said.
Howell has been charged with aiding escape and other offenses relating to adults in custody. He is being held in Tygart Valley Regional Jail on $50,000 bond.

The Atlantic Hockey blog mentions that the University of Rhode Island is being considered by league brass to replace the University of Connecticut, which is moving its Division 1 hockey team into the Hockey East.
The Atlantic Hockey Conference is known as a stepping stone conference for colleges moving up to Division 1. Quinnipiac, for example, started in Atlantic Hockey and is now a national power that plays in the ECAC conference along with such Ivy League schools as Brown and Yale, which won the national championship a few weeks back over Quinnipiac, Yale’s New Haven neighbor.
The Dynamo House, the century-old onetime Narragansett Electric power station, now sits as a forlorn reminder of what once thrived along Providence’s downtown waterfront. And as Rhode Island Public Radio political analyst Scott MacKay notes, it now stands as a guard to the old Jewelry District that state and city officials are trying to rebrand as a Knowledge District.
Richard Walton was an unforgettable presence for decades in our cozy state. An activist, he was in the forefront of so many campaigns for social justice and peace during his 84 years on this earth that even his friends couldn’t do a full accounting. A graduate of Brown in the 1950s, at a time when most of his WASP classmates went into banking, law or joined the CIA, Richard took the path less traveled. He became a reporter for the Providence Journal, then worked in New York newspapering during the Golden Age of print journalism.
Rhode Island hasn’t had enough to celebrate lately. RIPR political analyst Scott MacKay brings us an anniversary all Rhode Islanders can take pride in next month.
Three hundred and fifty years ago, Rhode Island struck a blow that would reverberate around the globe when England granted the colony a charter that for the first time in the modern world put in place a government that granted absolute religious freedom to its people.
Roger Williams University kicks off the state celebration of the 350th anniversary of the Rhode Island Colonial Charter tomorrow with a panel discussion about the 1663 charter on campus.
Five members of Governor Lincoln Chafee’s Rhode Island 1663 Charter Commission will bring their perspectives to a discussion of the landmark document and how the ideas of Roger Williams influenced American constitutional development and indeed, resonate to the 21st century.

(July 5, 2013) Another chapter passed last week in the ongoing saga of Ocean City’s Skye Bar, a case that could almost re-define the phrase “stuck between a rock and a hard place” as “stuck between the zoning board and the liquor board.”
Last Thursday, the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals heard and approved a request by Galaxy 66 owner Roger Cebula to accept his temporary lease of city-owned parking to fulfill the requirement generated by his proposed enclosure of the restaurant’s rooftop bar.
“I think that both this board and the Planning Commission gave permission for the enclosure to some degree, but one of the conditions there was that there wouldn’t be any further enclosure without securing parking,” explained Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith.
At this same time last year, Cebula had appeared before the BZA to seek an exception for the 7-foot-high sound-proof panels that he had installed around the perimeter of the Skye Bar, which has a partial roof over its bar and kitchen area, but is otherwise open to the elements.
The panels were a requirement of the county’s Board of License Commissioners, which regulates liquor sales. Due to concerns by neighbors about noise, the BLC had required some type of soundproofing as a condition for the Skye Bar’s liquor license to include a permit for live entertainment.
But this created a major issue for the venue’s parking requirement under the Town of Ocean City’s own municipal code. The city requires a certain amount of designated parking spaces for any given land use, in order to alleviate the town’s perennial lack thereof.
However, a clause in the town’s zoning policy allows bars and restaurants to have an unenclosed outside dining area of up to the same square footage as their inside dining area without requiring additional parking, the theory being that patrons will use the outside area more heavily in nicer weather and correspondingly reduce the parking load of the inside area.
But the height of Cebula’s sound wall qualified under the town code as an enclosure, meaning that he would have to provide separate parking for the Skye Bar, which he did not have given that the Galaxy 66’s building was already parking-deficient when it was built. The BZA granted a variance, however, to exempt the Skye Bar’s paneling from being a technical enclosure on the condition that no further enclosure would be done.
However, continuing noise complaints at the Skye Bar this year caused the BLC to revoke some of the venue’s entertainment privileges.
“During the last year, those sheet glass doors did not work, and the Galaxy was cited with four noise violations,” said Cebula’s representative, Harry How. “All music has to stop totally at 8:30 p.m.”
To correct the problem, Cebula is proposing the installation of glass awnings, which can be moved on tracks to allow the bar to be open to the air or fully enclosed while not obstructing patrons’ view.
“They are movable, but not necessarily removable,” How said. “The goal is to work with the town and the police department to where there are no noise violations, and then come back to the liquor board.”
Doing so, of course, would force the bar to secure its own parking. Cebula originally had plans to purchase property across Coastal Highway, but this was discouraged by the town given that potentially intoxicated patrons would be crossing eight lanes to get back to their cars.
Instead, Cebula reached an agreement with the city to lease 50 spaces on the northeast corner of the town-owned Public Safety Building lot, to be used as overflow parking for his restaurant and bar. The lease is good for three years, with an option to renew each year for two years after that.
“I think that’s why the city agreed to a certain lease period, not knowing what the demand on that property will be later on,” Smith said.
The awning “is a type of enclosure that could be dismantled, but it’s more than just a drop curtain,” he said.
This was the sticking point of the board’s approval of the arrangement: If Cebula loses the parking, the enclosure would be both physically and financially difficult to remove.
Attorney John Robins, who lives across the street from the bar and was speaking on behalf of himself and his neighbors, said the community’ concern was that the awning would allow the bar to return to being a nuisance and would be difficult to dislodge.
“I don’t think that the board would ever approve a condo to be built if they had off-site parking and only a five year lease on it,” Robins said. “What are you going to say after five years? Knock down the condo?”
“I would caution that you’re going to spend $100,000 [on the awning] and not get what you want,” Robins said. “As long as we’re talking about background dinner music, it wouldn’t be an issue. But the only way to cost-justify this improvement is to return to the ‘pack-em-in’ niteclub that the place was [before the BLC crackdown].”
But the BZA was quick to submit that it was not its place to legislate whether or not the awning was a sound financial decision.
“In regards to what we’re here to do tonight, it’s not the noise issue,” BZA chair Al Harrison told Robins. “[Cebula] has to listen to what the liquor board says in that regard, and it sounds like they’ve taken your concerns quite seriously.”
“We’re talking about the cars in the parking lot. Whether or not it’s sound-proof is someone else’s job,” said board member Bruce Kennington.
As an illustration, Smith offered up two examples of similar situations. One, the OC Jewish Deli, had previously asked the board to accept leased parking to fulfill the burden created by the plastic canopies it plans to put over its outside seating area this winter. In that case, Smith noted, the canopy is easily removed if the parking is lost.
A different scenario, Smith noted, would be Seacrets’ Morley Hall nightclub, whose parking is leased property. When the project was approved, Smith noted that Seacrets’ owner Leighton Moore was given a mandate by the city that if he ever failed to renew his parking lease, he would have to close the venue.
“Is this more like Morley Hall, which is more permanent, or more like the Jewish deli, which is more temporary?” board attorney Heather Stansbury asked rhetorically. “Depending on which one, the board would be placing different restrictions on the application.”
The board voted unanimously to accept the parking arrangement on the condition that if Cebula ever loses the parking lease, he will not be able to operate the Skye Bar until the awnings are removed.

After years of environmental problems that were rapidly increasing, President Joe Biden was elected after a series of devastating wildfires and toxic water pollution. A report was released by Environment America Research & Policy Center (USA PIRG Education Fund) in December 2020. First things to fixFive actions could be taken by the Biden administration to protect the environment on day one. 15 other actions were also identified by the organizations that would have a significant impact in conserving our natural spaces and cleaning up our air and water and combating climate change. U.S. PIRG Education Fund published a progress report in April 2021 by Environment America Research & Policy Center. President Bidens First 100 DaysThank you for your efforts.
Now that the Biden administration has completed its first year, we checked back and found that the Biden administration took many important steps to restore many of the most critical environmental protections. In his first year as President Biden, he made bold steps in areas like reducing global warming pollution and getting the lead out drinking water. Three of the 20 priorities on our initial list are complete. Joining the Paris climate accordrestoring protections for Northeast Canyons National Marine Monument and Seamounts National Marine Monument. Support ratification of Kigali Agreement, which will phase out hydrofluorocarbons.
Our report showed that President Biden made significant progress in administrative work. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, signed into law in December, was a significant step towards achieving important goals. Here’s what the infrastructure bill does to protect the environment.
However, there have been some tangible improvements, but there’s still more to be done. The administration must reverse the environmental rollbacks that were made in 2022. Below is a list containing the key policies that Biden prioritized in the first calendar year, along with a breakdown of their status.

Oklahoma announces no new COVID-19 cases among football players
Courtesy of Oklahoma football, there’s actually some good news on the coronavirus testing front.
July 1, Oklahoma football players officially kicked off their voluntary on-campus workouts. The development came two weeks after schools from the Big 12 were permitted to commence such activities.
The same day workouts commenced, Oklahoma confirmed that 111 football players were tested as part of the return to campus. Of those 111, 14 came back positive for COVID-19 — seven positives after players had returned to campus, seven before.
A week and a day later, Oklahoma announced that, since then, 89 football players had been tested. According to the school, there were no new positive test results from that latest batch of testing. Additionally, OU confirmed that five of the original 14 positives have since recovered. That leaves nine active cases among Sooner football players.
Those players remain quarantined away from the rest of the team.
Below is data related to coronavirus testing of players and football staff, courtesy of OU athletics.

Electoral fraud is illegal interference with the process of an election . Acts of fraud affect vote counts to bring about an election result, whether by increasing the vote share of the favored candidate, depressing the vote share of the rival candidates, or both. What electoral fraud is under law varies from country to country.
End-to-end auditable or end-to-end voter verifiable ( E2E ) systems are voting systems with stringent integrity properties and strong tamper-resistance. E2E systems often employ cryptographic methods to craft receipts that allow voters to verify that their votes were not modified, without revealing which candidates were voted for. As such, these systems are sometimes referred to as receipt-based systems.

Background: Nocturnal profile of GH secretion is proposed to be a screening diagnostic procedure for GH deficiency (GHD) in short children. Every screening procedure must be characterised by very high sensitivity and good specificity. The data concerning the cut-off level between normal and subnormal nocturnal GH secretion are scarce and non-consistent.
The aim of the study was to assess the clinical utility of 2-h nocturnal profile of GH secretion in diagnosing GHD in children.
Material and methods: Nocturnal GH peak during 2-h assessment (5 samples every 30) was compared in the 2 groups of children, classified as: 1/ GHD decreased both GH peak in 2 stimulating tests (<10 ng/ml) and IGF-I secretion (IGF-I SDS <−1.5 for age and sex (n=24), 2/ idiopathic short stature normal both GH peak in stimulating tests and IGF-I secretion (n=27). ROC analysis was performed in order to assess the sensitivity and specificity of nocturnal GH peak for different cut-off levels.
Results: The best accuracy of 2-h nocturnal GH profile was found for the cut-off level of GH peak=16 ng/ml, with the sensitivity of 87.5% and specificity of 59.3%. The sensitivity on the level of 95% (acceptable for screening procedures) required increasing the cut-off value up to 20 ng/ml. Using the same cut-off level=10 ng/ml decreases the sensitivity of the examination to only 56.2%, with a slight increase of specificity up to 74.1%.
Conclusions: Nocturnal 2-h profile of GH secretion may be a screening tool in diagnosing GHD, however with the cut-off level higher than for GH stimulating tests. There is no evidence for using the same cut-off values for GH peak in nocturnal profile as that established for stimulating tests.

Still from a video shared on X. (courtesy: lehrein_)
Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal has entered the ₹400-crore club at the domestic box office. It won't be wrong to say that the movie has struck the right chord with the audience. The film features Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role with Rashmika Mandanna. Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Triptii Dimri are seen in crucial roles. Now, Triptii, who plays Zoya in Animal, has opened up about a viral video from the premiere night. For context, in the clip, Triptii is seen staring at Ranbir, who is talking to someone. The video is from the red carpet event. Fans speculated that the actress was finding it hard to take her eyes off Ranbir. Clearing the air, Triptii, in an interview posted on Siddarth Kannan's YouTube channel, said that she was "very nervous." She said, “Hum log screening pe thay. And, unko puri cast ka shoot krna tha unko. [We were at the screening. They wanted to shoot the whole cast.] They wanted the whole cast of Animal together. And people were talking. And, he (Ranbir Kapoor) was right in front of me talking to somebody. So, if someone's talking to someone in front of me, obviously, you will look at that person." Triptii added, “If you will notice I was just rubbing my hands. My dad, in fact, called me after watching the whole footage. And he was like, ‘Were you nervous?'. I said, ‘Haan. How do you know?' He was like, ‘You were rubbing your hands. I know, you rub your hands when you are nervous.'”
Triptii Dimri also asked about the "super" viral video of her looking at Ranbir Kapoor during a conversation with Instant Bollywood. The actress said that she was too nervous to realise what was she doing at that moment. Triptii said that she was "really nervous because it was my theatrical release after 5 years." She added, “So, I was really nervous. And specially, when you are standing with people like Ranbir, you are bound to get nervous, right? And I think he was standing in front of me, talking to somebody and you don't even realise in that moment, where you are looking, what you are looking at."
Here is the video from the Animal screening we are talking about:
Triptii Dimri, recently, also opened up about shooting the intimate scene with Ranbir Kapoor in Animal. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actress was asked how her parents reacted to the particular sequence. She said, “My parents got a little taken aback. (They said) We have never seen something like this in films, and you have done it. It took them time to get over that scene. They were very sweet to me though. They were like, ‘You shouldn't have done that, but it's okay. As parents, we will obviously feel this.'”
Triptii Dimri added, “And I told them I am not doing anything wrong. It's my job, and as long as I am comfortable and safe, I don't see any problem in that. I am an actor, and I have to be 100 percent honest with the character that I play, and I did that.”
Triptii Dimri will be next seen in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.

Talk about body image often revolves around the pressures that women face, which are of course abundant. (I was once tut-tutted for my cuticles. WHO CARES?) But men aren't immune, either. A recent survey says that men worry about their appearance more than anything—oh, except for money.
The finding comes from a joint survey by Today and AOL. 53 percent of guys reported feeling insecure about their looks at least once a week; in their average hierarchy of worries, appearance comes before their careers, health and family. But 59 percent of respondents worried about $$$ at least once a week.
"Guys are just a couple of decades behind women of going down this really awful road," a psychologist told Today. "Even Halloween costumes for kids now, the superhero costumes come with built-in muscles; you never saw that back in the day," added another.
Additional findings, via Today:
- 63 percent of guys said they "always feel like (they) could lose weight
- 53 percent don't like having their picture taken
- 41 percent said they worry that people judge their appearance
- 44 percent feel uncomfortable wearing swim trunks (not to mention Speedos!)
But, of course, it's also worth noting that this is a trend the media seems to rediscover annually and treat like a big gee-whiz surprise every time. In fact, it starts to feel like—despite everyone's best intentions!—the constant shock that dudes could be affected by a parade of Hollywood six-packs just ends up reinforcing an unconscious assumption it's perfectly natural for women to spend their lives obsessing over their personal appearance.
In contrast, Today and AOL found that women spend two weeks per year in front of the mirror, and 82 percent of women always feel they could lose weight. (The fact that money outranks looks for dudes suggests they don't feel their intrinsic worth is tied up in their appearance, either, but more the hoary old idea of being a "provider.") The writeup re: the ladies was more concerned with drawing the line between appropriate concern with one's appearance and "obsession":
"In my opinion, rumination results in an excessive focus on the self, which in turn results in a loss of perspective," Rudiger, who published research last year on the dangers of "co-ruminating," or turning to a friend to bad mouth your body (that's been nicknamed "fat talk").
"If you focus too much on any of your 'flaws,' you are going to be more likely to exaggerate the importance of the flaw."
Not to be a complete fucking cheeseball, but let's all try to cut ourselves—and each other—some slack.

ATLANTA -- Eric Robert Rudolph has been linked to extremist anti-abortion and racist views, but a key investigator says the hatred that propelled the bombing suspect's alleged crimes was rooted in the death of his father.
The Food and Drug Administration's refusal to approve a drug he thought would help fight his father's cancer caused Rudolph to hate the government and associate with extremist groups, said Charles Stone, a retired Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent who was assigned to the bombing task force that hunted Rudolph.
"The anti-abortion, antigay thing was a smoke screen," Stone said after Rudolph's capture Saturday. He cited a theory developed through interviews he and other investigators had with Rudolph's family and friends.
Rudolph was 10 or 11 when his father sought use of laetrile, a concoction of ground apricot pits, to fight his cancer, but the U.S. government has banned its use for three decades, Stone said.
Although the family eventually obtained the drug in Mexico, Rudolph's father died.
After his father died, Rudolph, now 36, moved with his mother, three brothers and a sister to Missouri in the late 1970s. He was a teenager in 1981, when they moved to the western North Carolina mountains.
'A HOLY WARRIOR'
In both areas, Stone said, Rudolph was embraced by followers of Christian Identity, a white-supremacist religion that is antigay, anti-Semitic and antiforeigner. The Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., which monitors militia activities and hate groups, has said it has strong evidence that Rudolph was an adherent of Christian Identity.
In high school, Rudolph wrote a report claiming the Holocaust was a hoax. When he was 18, he and his family had an extended stay at a Missouri church that espoused white separatism.
"This is someone who looks on himself as a holy warrior, but the faith he espouses is among the most twisted, bigoted ones out there," said Brian Levin, director of the Center for Hate and Extremism at California State University.
For the most part, Rudolph seems to have wanted to be left alone.
After a stint in the Army, from which he was released at the lowest pay grade, Rudolph returned to western North Carolina, where he worked as a carpenter, roofer and handyman. There is no evidence that he belonged to a militia, although such groups have long existed in the region.
Federal agents have said he spent much of his spare time in the woods, hiking and rappelling down the same old mine shafts and limestone caverns that later complicated the search for him.
"He considered himself a survivalist," Stephen Cochran, a one-time friend of Rudolph's, said in the late 1990s. "He always went places in the mountains where nobody else went."
Sister-in-law Deborah Rudolph, who helped develop a profile for investigators, has said the bombings suspect hardly lived the lifestyle of a religious zealot. In 2001, she told the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Report magazine that Rudolph grew hydroponic marijuana and made as much as $60,000 a year selling it.
When he visited her Nashville, Tenn., home in the early 1990s, Rudolph would "sleep all day, then stay up all night and eat pizza and smoke pot and watch movies by Cheech and Chong," she told the magazine.
Stone said Rudolph's marijuana growing made him more paranoid and fed his antigovernment views.
Doyle L. Grant had hired Eric Rudolph and one of his brothers to do some carpentry work at his house, according to a 1998 article in The New York Times. He remembered Eric as a polite young man.
"It was always 'Yes, ma'am' and 'Yes, sir,' " Grant told the Times, "and I never heard a swear word out of him."
'STUCK TO THEMSELVES'
Rudolph was born Sept. 19, 1966, in Merritt Island. His father, Robert, was an airline mechanic.
After Patricia Rudolph moved with four of her five children to Nantahala, N.C., the family settled on a remote 6-acre homestead, with Eric's older brother, Daniel Rudolph, then 20, acting as the father figure.
They grew vegetables, raised chickens and goats and made cheese. The brothers built a barn and a chicken coop. They added a garage and piped spring water into the two-bedroom house. They cut their own firewood and studied the Bible. And the Rudolphs kept their lives private -- which was fine with the folks in Nantahala.
"They pretty much stuck to themselves," Kenny Cope, a longtime Nantahala resident, said in the late 1990s. "Around here, in these mountains, people will leave you alone if that's what you want."
When brothers Eric and Jamie Rudolph began attending Nantahala School, teachers and classmates learned that the Rudolphs held some unconventional beliefs.
There was the English-class report describing how the Holocaust supposedly never happened, and both brothers told classmates they considered Social Security numbers a means for the government to spy on people. Eric Rudolph also told a friend that the United Nations was trying to circumvent U.S. sovereignty.
Eric Rudolph dropped out of school after the ninth grade. He later obtained his equivalency diploma and attended one year at Western Carolina University without declaring a major.


At Alflow, we sell some of the market’s best mixers and agitators for both sanitary and industrial applications. See our wide range of mixers from leading manufacturers on this page.
What are mixers?
Our mixers and agitators offer a complete solution for mixing throughout the process line and are designed for a wide range of mixing applications in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry as well as the food industry. Mixers and agitators are used for mixing and flow separation of liquids, gases or solids as well as mixing light and viscous liquids, resuspension of settled solids and dissolution of powders.
Find the right mixers for your application
At Alflow, we have several types of mixers for a wide range of processes in the pharmaceutical, chemical, process and food industries, among others:
- Magnetic-coupled mixers
- In-line mixers
- Water/steam mixers
The different types of mixers and agitators can be used in respectively upstream, process, downstream and filling applications. Below we have mentioned some of the places where you can use our mixers and agitators:
- Media preparation
- Solid suspension
- Gas dispersion
- High-shear mixing
- Viscous mixing
- And more
The static mixers and in-line models are typically called mixers, and the rotary models for mounting in tanks are typically called agitators. The static mixers consist of a tube with a design on the inside that ensures a turbulent flow. This helps make the liquid pumped through the mixer more homogeneous. A static mixer is driven solely by the liquid pressure supplied by a pump or other flow equipment. There will always be a pressure drop across the mixer, as you use some of the pressure to change the internal speed. The static mixer is very good for mixing liquids that are somewhat similar to each other. If you have liquids where one is water and the other is an oil product, typically more energy must be used to create a stable mixing. Our In-line mixers with rotating head allow even more energy to be supplied directly from the rotating mixer head that is driven by an electric motor. This means that even liquids that are difficult to mix together can achieve a stable state and an emulsion can be created. This type of mixer also has a certain homogenizing effect. For tanks, we have different types of mixers. For places where high demands are placed on a clean-friendly design, we have a magnetically connected agitator from Millipore. It differs in that there is no passage in the tank wall, as the energy from the external drive unit is transferred via magnetism to the internal impeller. This is a very safe solution that is particularly used in the pharmaceutical industry. Here you do not need to take into account leakage from the agitator, as the tank plate where the agitator is mounted is to be considered part of the tank wall. We have different types of impellers depending on the task to be carried out. It’s everything from processes where the liquid just needs to be kept in motion, to mixing powder, or requiring high-shear to make lighter emulsions.
In larger tanks or in tanks where vigorous stirring is required, we typically use a top-mounted agitator. With this type of mixer, we can make sure that the liquid is moving, even if it is a tall tank. We have the option of mounting impellers of different types and diameters on the shaft that goes down into the tank. We often use these stirrers in connection with fermentation. Here we need a large dispersion of oxygen at the bottom of the tank. This is done with a specially designed impeller that utilizes the rotation to create small bubbles. And to make sure that the entire tank is used for the process, we use a different type of impeller to create the right rotation of the liquid inside the tank. In connection with dimensioning our top-mounted agitators, we also have the option of doing CFD (computer simulations) of the process, so that we ensure you an optimal solution.

Silver Medal: Dr. John Thornton
|Dr. John T. Thornton|
Since the early 1980s you have been a pioneer in hybridizing rhododendrons that tolerate the heat and humidity of the southern states while still being hardy enough for most areas where they are grown. This has resulted in a large selection of hybrids that have disease resistance, drought resistance, and resistance to "root rot," a common problem in the Deep South. You have published your results and promoted the use of these hybrids by sharing your experience in numerous speeches, sharing plants and information at several public gardens, and always being available to answer questions. The world of horticulture is much the richer for your efforts.
For your outstanding service and major contributions, the American Rhododendron Society is pleased to present the Silver Medal to Dr. John T. Thornton. April 19, 2008. Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Quality Growth Alliance uses rigorous criteria to honor planned projects offering real-world solutions for sustainable design and development
The Quality Growth Alliance (QGA) announced today four local development projects have been recognized for their high potential to contribute to the Central Puget Sound region’s sustainable economic, environmental and quality-of-life objectives. The honored projects, all in the pre-entitlement, conceptual design phase of development, are part of the Alliance’s inaugural Recognition Program. They range from residential developments in urban Seattle neighborhoods to mixed-use communities in suburban cities.
Recognition of each project was based upon full consensus among all eight QGA Partner organizations, which include environmental-, real estate-, and civic-related organizations. The partners are committed to managing growth and leveraging it as an opportunity to address critical concerns such as density; access to transit; the creation of community benefits such as mixed-income housing; and minimizing impacts to the environment. QGA Partners include the Urban Land Institute Seattle District Council; Puget Sound Regional Council; University of Washington College of Built Environments; Enterprise Community Partners; Cascade Land Conservancy; Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties; Futurewise; and NAIOP – The Commercial Real Estate Development Association, Washington State Chapter.
The Recognition Program is not a traditional awards program, as each project is in the pre-entitlement phase of development. QGA Recognition Program jurors will personally provide valuable public testimony for each of these projects as they proceed through their respective approvals processes.
The four proposed developments to receive recognition by the QGA include:
Yesler Terrace (Developer: Seattle Housing Authority) is a planned effort to replace this community’s aging housing with a vibrant mixed-use community that will provide a mix of office, retail and housing. It will attract people from diverse backgrounds, inspire cultural diversity and provide high-quality housing for all income levels with nearby amenities.
Kirkland ParkPlace (Developer: Touchstone) is a planned mixed-use development in downtown Kirkland that will include 1.2 million square feet of technology-office space (accommodating approximately 6,000 jobs); 300,000 square feet of retail space; a full-service hotel; 3,500 underground parking spaces; and about 160,000 square feet of public space featuring art installations, landscaped areas, pedestrian walkways, and other parts of the “public realm.”
Interbay (Developer: The Freehold Group) is a planned neighborhood development in Seattle’s Interbay district, between the Magnolia and Queen Anne neighborhoods. The new Interbay Master Plan includes elements to create a neighborhood where affordable housing, commerce, recreation and industry will co-exist.
Sunset Electric Building (Developer: Pryde + Johnson) is a historic, 2-story, brick structure in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood that is being converted into an apartment building that will preserve the site’s historical integrity while providing 89 affordable, energy-efficient apartments.
“Each of these outstanding, pre-entitlement projects demonstrated a strong commitment to addressing critical and complex issues facing our region. We believe they will help create growth that will have a positive impact on our communities over the long term,” said Bill Kreager, FAIA, a veteran Seattle architect and chair of the QGA’s Recognition Program.
Projects submitted for recognition are judged based on the following seven criteria: Location; Density, Design, and Mix of Uses; Transportation/Mobility/Accessibility; Environment; Mixed-Income Housing (for residential projects); Community Benefits; and Community Participation.
“The collaborative efforts of the QGA’s diverse membership are a laudable development of planning and sustainability,” said Josh Brower, a land use attorney with Tupper Mack Brower and chair of the Seattle Planning Commission.
Allan Giffen, Director of Planning and Community Development at the City of Everett, said, “The City of Everett is pursuing an exciting vision for quality growth and development in our community. The Quality Growth Alliance’s Recognition Program has set a high standard for recognition of exactly the type of projects that we are seeking.”
In addition to public supportive testimony, the QGA will provide recognized projects with a letter of recognition that demonstrates support by the organization’s diverse members. Honored projects will also receive praise through publicity, advertisements, online promotion, and announcements at various business- and civic-oriented events.
For more information on the Quality Growth Alliance and its Recognition Program, visit the organization’s Web site at www.qualitygrowthalliance.org.
About the Quality Growth Alliance

Title: Siren's Storm
Author: Lisa Papademetriou
Genre: Teen Fiction, Paranormal, Fantasy
Publication Date: July 12, 2011
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers
ISBN-13 Book: 9780375842450
Source: I received a copy of the book for review from the publisher. This is my honest review!
Siren's Storm by Lisa Papademetriou
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A year ago Will went sailing with his brother, but only he made it back. Now a year later, Will still has no memory of the events of that night, only the scars remain. His best friend Gretchen seems troubled too, her sleepwalking is getting worse, and she seems to be keeping something from him. When a new girl arrives in town, Asia, who is something of a mystery, Will begins to suspect that there is more to her than meets the eye.Siren’s Storm was a difficult novel for me to get into at first. The beginning is a tad bit slow, but the pace quickens somewhat as the novel progresses. The mystery is intriguing and this book isn’t your common place supernatural story—there is definitely some mythology, and thought put into creating a believable novel.
The setting is exquisitely detailed. You feel like you know this little beach side town and that you have lived there. While some of the characters are a bit stereotypical, you run into those that really shine, and are people you want to know. Will and Gretchen were both believable and well developed characters.
As I stated earlier in the review, the beginning was a tad bit slow and the pacing increases as the novel nears the end. The problem is that the ending feels a tad rushed, and perhaps not as well developed or explained as the rest of the novel. I ended with questions at the end, that still needed answers. This perhaps opens the door for a sequel, but leaves the reader feeling a little frustrated.
Overall this is an exciting mystery and an incredibly original novel. I especially loved the sea captain’s journal and the history combined with the mythology. I hope there is a sequel because I really want to see explanations for some of the events in the ending. A nice summer read, with a tad bit of darkness on the side. Enjoyable.

At their meeting Monday night, members of the Park Ridge-Niles District 64 Board of Education unanimously approved a balanced budget for the 2018 fiscal year.
The task of getting to a balanced budget was made considerably easier after the district received roughly $400,000 in overdue payments from the state, according to school officials.
The board approved an operating budget with revenues totaling $75,948,853 and expenditures worth $74,086,505 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017 and ending June 30, 2018. The fiscal 2018 budget also includes about $4.8 million in capital expenses, which are costs largely associated with construction projects that occurred this summer and were paid for via revenue generated from debt certificates.
The district's chief school business official, Luann Kolstad, notified the board at the Sept. 18 meeting that the district would begin receiving payments from the state on about $1.1 million owed to District 64 in general state aid. The payments come after passage of Senate Bill 1947, a new law that alters the way the state distributes state money to school districts. At the board's Monday night meeting, Kolstad said the district was still owed about $800,000 in state aid.
At their prior meeting on Sept. 18, Kolstad said she had reduced a previously projected budget deficit of roughly $1.1 million to about $62,000. She said news that the state would begin paying the district the money it was owed and would continue to make payments twice per month meant that the deficit was no longer an issue.
"This is not new money. This is money we did not budget for this year because we did not think the state would be paying. This is money due to us," Kolstad told the board on Sept. 18.
"This is manna from heaven," said board President Anthony Borrelli during the Sept. 18 meeting. "You went from a $1.17 million deficit to a $900,000 surplus. That is an enormous swing that will benefit the district, programming and everything else we have to do."
The budget approved Monday night represents a 3.28 percent increase in the district's operating revenues and a 4.47 percent increase in expenditures over the last fiscal year's unaudited actuals, according to district documents.
Had the state made payments due to the district last year, the increase in revenues would total about 2.2 percent, according to a memo from Kolstad addressed to the district officials. She wrote that the increase in the consumer price index from .7 percent to 2.1 percent — CPI dictates the amount school districts in Illinois can levy in property taxes — and increases in tax revenue from new construction over the last year "is helping the district to maintain fund balances on an even keel."
The increase in expenditures is represented largely in the district's operations and maintenance budget, according to district documents. Kolstad wrote that the district is hopeful to be able to complete more smaller in-house construction projects this fiscal year, including new outdoor energy efficient lighting at Washington Elementary and Emerson Middle schools.
Salaries at the district increased about .5 percent this year over last, according to Kolstad. She said savings came from the retirement of 26 employees who were replaced by new hires with significantly lower salaries. The total savings — about $754,000 — offsets the cost of termination benefits, she said. Kolstad told the board she expects an additional 10 employees to retire at the end of this school year.
Kolstad said she also expects the district to significantly exceed its promise to voters not to request an additional referendum through the current fiscal year. Based on current financial projections and assumptions, the district assumes no need for a referendum through the 2020-21 fiscal year.
"If we can continue to live within our means, we should never have to go for that referendum," Kolstad said.
The approved budget includes a projected fund balance of nearly $47 million, which equates to about 63 percent of the district's annual budget. The goal, according to school officials, is to have at least 33 percent or about four months worth of operating expenses on hand at the end of each fiscal year.
Included in this year's budget expenditure is a $500,000 line item for contingency costs. Board member Larry Ryles asked what those funds are typically used for and if they'd ever be used to cover a budget deficit.
Kolstad said the district didn't use any of its budgeted contingency funds last year and that that money is typically utilized to cover unforeseen expenses over the course of a fiscal year. Ryles said he would never want the district to use the contingency fund to cover projected expenses "if we are actually doing a zero-based budgeting program." Zero-based budgeting is a process that starts with a zero base, and expenses must be analyzed and justified based on needs.

Planting corn in blocks the American Indian way
News Leader reader Becky M. writes with the following inquiry: “A few years ago you wrote an article that mentioned planting sweet corn in blocks. The wind blows down our corn when planted in rows. Please tell me how to plant corn in blocks so the wind doesn't affect it.”
Thanks for your question Becky. If excessive wind is a regular problem, I advise planting corn so the entire patch resembles a square with equal sides. Some gardeners plant long, singular rows of sweet corn, which is not good for pollination or for wind resistance.
EXAMPLE: Instead of planting 2 rows 100 feet long, I suggest planting 8 rows 25 feet long. With 30-inch spacing between rows, this patch would be nearly square. While this does not “wind-proof” your corn patch, it will help shield the majority of the plants in the block. It also aids GREATLY in pollination since bees and other pollinators can concentrate their efforts.
You can also plant corn like the American Indians did — don’t use rows at all. The 1918 USDA Yearbook of Agriculture contains this passage:
“The Hopi tribe made use of a planting stick when planting corn. This stick is 3 feet in length and has a stilt-like projection 10 or 12 inches from the bottom. The stick is pressed into the soil with the foot and holes are made from 8 to 12 inches in depth. Into these holes as many as 20 kernels are dropped. The hills are about 10 feet apart. The number of plants in the hill may seem excessive, but none are thinned out, being left as a protection against wind and sun.” This bunching practice obviously provided support for the cluster of plants.
Yet another passage tells how one tribe used a “streamline method” to protect against the wind:
“The Omaha, or mound, method was used by the Omaha Indians of Nebraska. In this method the earth was pulverized and heaped into mounds about 18 by 24 inches in surface area. The northern end of the mound was 18 inches in height, sloping to the south. The south end was made level with the ground. The mounds were from 2 to 3 feet apart on all sides, and seven kernels to the mound were planted. Sometimes a ditch was dug around the mound, into which water was poured in dry seasons.”

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa — Voters were heading to the polls today, and there were no problems with the tallies. Marshall County Auditor Nan Benson said there were around 4,500 absentee ballots and most of those have been returned.
She added that the marking pens used on the ballot had raised some eyebrows, but no problems in casting ballots. The pens were recommended by the voting system manufacturer.
Voters had different issues, but all were glad the commercials will end. Voters also hope the divisiveness will subside.
“I guess I want to see people in office listen to the every day person,” said Sara Broussard, of Marshalltown. “I’m so tired of people who aren’t in touch with reality telling us what we can and can’t do.”
“Hopefully we can make some serious changes to the state of Iowa as well as to Washington DC., like the abortion issue for example and then funding for the schools of course,” said Christine Hobson, of Marshalltown. “Then, the economy is a big one on my mind because I work in retail and I really see the struggle”


And to be fair, this is not just a problem with museums in Japan.
Oh do I miss my college years because looking back, I feel so old!!lol So now that I’ve seen the movie, I can definitely tell you that there are a lot of truths to it and a lot was made up by Hollywood! My character, Erica Albright, is in the very first scene of the movie and Mark Zuckerberg and I did break-up over dinner.First and foremost, this project is a labor of love.Second, it is a tribute to Kamakura, my home for the past 20 years, and home to dozens of temples from the Kamakura Era (1185-1333), which still house and display wondrous life-size wooden statues from the 8th century onward.I’m not sure how I feel about that but I can’t really say much else because I am now under contract. So, I thought I would create a place to tell my side of the story and for people to learn about the real me!
So keep your eyes open because you’ll be seeing me, Erica Albright on MTV!!! 🙂 I’ve been trying my best to ignore all of the hype surrounding The Social Network, but I’ve gotta say, it’s been difficult. So I went to see the movie, “The Social Network” (based on Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg) last night and I’ve got to tell you….There are dozens of Buddhist temples & Shintō shrines near my home in Kamakura, many dating from the 8th to 13th centuries, many open to the public.There are 400 deities herein, & 4,000 photos of statuary from Kamakura, Nara, Kyoto, & elsewhere in Japan.Maybe I’m being overly sensitive today for some reason but I just need to get a few things out in the open.The movie ‘The Social Network’ really depicts me as being a b*tch.🙂 So for the next 6 months, my privacy has gone out the window! I’ve been reading so many things online about me that are totally not true.

There’s a good start and good 3-point shooting, and then there’s what Jesuit did against John Ehret on Wednesday night.
Jesuit made 12 3-pointers on 12-of-16 shooting from beyond the arc and 28 of 39 overall to throttle the Patriots 70-24 in the opening round of the Newman Invitational Tournament.
The Blue Jays (8-0) were led by Elijah Morgan, who finished with 21 points, including 7 of 7 from beyond the 3-point line. Morgan scored 12 points in the first quarter on a night where he didn’t have to work too long because most of Jesuit's starters played less than half the game.
“We obviously shot the ball really well,” coach Chris Jennings said. “We had six 3-pointers to start the game, which was able to give us a little distance. We always play pretty good defense, so things worked out for us.”
Getting a performance like the one Morgan gave obviously was a huge help as well, he said.
“We have to get him a lot of help as well too, which we normally do," Jennings said. "This is the night where things were just going in for him. He’s capable of scoring a lot of points quickly, which is good, but we have to continue to give him help because he can’t do it all on his own.”
The Patriots (1-4) couldn’t get anything going, as their defense allowed Jesuit to get off to a 20-0 start after the first quarter. Their offense wasn’t much better as six players scored compared to Jesuit’s 12 while Ehret's leading scorer, Teddy Butcher, had only 7 points.
“We have to come ready to work hard every day,” Ehret coach Allen Collins said. “We have to throw this game away and get better after this one. Everyone’s not going to have a great night, but we have to put more effort in. Having said that, kudos to Jesuit. They’re well coached, well-disciplined and they can shoot the heck out of the basketball.”
After the one-sided first quarter, when Jesuit made six 3-pointers to start the game, the roll continued in the second quarter as Jesuit went into halftime having missed only five shots as a team while leading 33-5.
The third quarter saw Morgan score 9 more points on 3-pointers, and the Blue Jays continued to soar, pulling all of their starters before the end of the quarter as they led 60-13. Nothing changed in the fourth as Jesuit continued to stroll.
Jesuit will face Country Day in the tournament’s second round. Morgan said he felt confident going forward after the win.
“We just have to keep playing defense,” he said. “That’s where it all starts. That and we just have to keep running our offense and trust our teammates while playing with the chemistry that we know we have, and we should be good.”
