Tiananmen protests: Could they happen again? (+video)

Harsh security on the anniversary of the pro-democracy protest suggests deep official concern about any potential unrest. But many Chinese don't know what happened – and may not care.

Could it happen again?

Twenty-five years after Chinese Army troops crushed student pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square, and with them a generation’s hope of political reform, how likely is it that Chinese citizens might once again rise up in revolt?

To most observers, few prospects look less probable. So why is the government behaving as if any mention of the Tiananmen massacre might spark a revolution?

Plenty of sporadic protests flare up around China every year – expressions of anger against local authorities because of land grabs or unpaid wages or polluted water or corruption. But nothing resembling an organized movement to challenge the ruling Communist party is on the horizon.

Yet the police are using extraordinarily harsh measures this year to erase all memory of the events of June 4, 1989, arresting anyone of note who dares to commemorate the massacre. The Chinese government, it seems, is still frightened by the potential power of historical memory.

“What terrifies them,” says one political researcher who asked to remain anonymous for fear of official retribution, “is that the small number of people who keep the flame alive in their minds might someday use that fire to kindle new unrest.”

There are few signs, however, that many among the general populace in China care much about the 25th  anniversary of the Army assault on Tiananmen square in which several hundred people, perhaps thousands, died.

Even the Internet, normally abuzz with political comment, is quiet amid heightened censorship. “The people making trouble are being locked up and everybody else is keeping quiet,” says Jeremy Goldkorn, founder of “Danwei,” a website that monitors the Chinese Internet. “It does not seem to me that there is a huge desire to talk about [the anniversary] that is not being met.”

Many Chinese under 35 are unaware of the Tiananmen protests, echoed in cities around the country, or of the way they were snuffed out by Army tanks. The government at the time deemed the weeks-long demonstration a “counter-revolutionary riot;” all mentions of the protest and resulting crackdown have since been scrubbed from the history books.

The strictest taboo

Even those citizens who remember 1989, or who have learned since what happened, know that it would be foolhardy to talk about the subject in public. The topic is China’s strictest taboo.

It stays that way partly because of an unofficial “grand bargain” that the ruling Communist party has struck with the Chinese people, based on Deng Xiaoping’s conviction that nothing should be allowed to impede economic growth: You stay out of politics and we will help you grow richer.

“Most Chinese have accepted that bargain because they know it is the only bargain on offer,” says Steven Levine, a former professor of Chinese politics who launched the Tiananmen Initiative Project to commemorate the 1989 events internationally. “Only a very few brave dissidents go public because the costs can be very high.”

“The government has been very sophisticated in dealing with memory inside China,” says Rowena He, author of the just published “Tiananmen Exiles,” based on interviews with leaders of the 1989 protests.

“The general population doesn’t know anything about it, and if they do, the younger ones say ‘so what?’ The lack of empathy and understanding of the event’s historical significance is profoundly concerning,” she adds.

The government has reinforced official amnesia with repression. International human rights groups say scores of writers, artists, journalists, lawyers, and civil society activists have been arrested, “disappeared,” or put under house arrest in recent weeks. Hundreds of others have been warned by police not to say anything in public.

The Tiananmen Mothers have, as always, been banned from mourning their dead children in public. And five intellectuals have been arrested on charges of “creating a public disturbance,” even though the seminar to commemorate the 1989 crackdown that they attended was held in a private place.

No choice but to react harshly to pressure for reform?

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the United States, and the European Union have called for the detainees’ release, but “China doesn’t care what anyone thinks anymore,” says Geremie Barme, head of the “Australian Centre on China in the World” at the Australian National University in Canberra.

Nor, he says, does the Chinese government have any choice but to react ferociously to any flutter of unofficial thinking.

The triumph of the hardliners within the Communist party in 1989 set the party “so firmly against serious political reform that it recognizes any moves towards” such changes, such as a freer media or a more independent judiciary “could be fatal to it,” argues Dr. Barme.

But the issues that the demonstrators raised a generation ago such as democratic rights, the role of a single party and the importance of the Constitution “are still unresolved … and they won’t go away,” says Barme. “Unless the government appraises the events of 1989 in a more rational fashion the issues will keep coming up.”

In the meantime, Chinese citizens do not need to know much about what happened and why in 1989 to have gotten the government’s message, says Dr. He: Nothing – not even human life – trumps the imperative of economic development.

“The crackdown said that any principle can be compromised, that there is no bottom line, when it comes to ensuring stability and prosperity,” says He.

And the results, she adds, are evident in today’s China, richer than ever before but also rife with corruption, environmental disaster, arbitrary official injustice, and a growing wealth gap.

Those shortcomings, He believes, are feeding “accumulated grievances, frustration, and anger.” If the authorities cannot keep a lid on such dissatisfaction, it could boil over into widespread protests, she predicts.

“They would not be like Tiananmen, though,” she says. The students then were not trying to overthrow the regime, but to improve it. “Next time,” He predicts, “another social movement would not be so constrained in its language or its behavior.”

Orioles fans hope this isn't a finished product

Orioles fans hope this isn't a finished product
December 14, 2013, 10:30 am
Share This Post

A few Orioles general managers ago, the team was having a hard time attracting free agents. The situation was a lot more dire then. Syd Thrift decried his inability to get players to sign with the team.

“It’s like I’m offering Confederate money,” he said.

That was a long time ago, and the team Dan Duquette has is miles better than the ones Thrift had early in the 2000’s.

But, after watching the Orioles trying to attract players, including ones they’ve had their eyes on for several years, you have to hope that free agents aren’t thinking about the old Confederacy.

[RELATED: After meetings, Orioles still have much work to do ]

It’s no secret that the Orioles have long liked Gavin Floyd. The Anne Arundel, Md. county product had Tommy John surgery, but a report surfaced on Friday that he was about to sign elsewhere.

The Orioles had also liked Jason Kubel for some time, but coming off an awful year, Kubel chose to sign a minor league deal with Minnesota, where he played the first seven years of his career.

Kubel’s signing hurt because he was a left-handed hitting outfielder who could have fit nicely in left or as designated hitter.

Floyd would have been nice insurance, but he’s not going to be ready to start the season.

For weeks, readers have suggested that the Orioles sign A.J. Burnett, who lives in Monkton. Five years ago, the Orioles negotiated with Burnett and Mark Teixeira, a childhood neighbor of Floyd’s. They hoped the allure of playing at home would be attractive.

It wasn’t attractive enough and both Burnett and Teixeira signed with the Yankees.

[RELATED: Winter meetings end with no new signings ]

Burnett would like to stay with the Pittsburgh Pirates. His name hasn’t been a hot one because many teams assumed he’d want to play only for Pittsburgh.

The Pirates don’t seem to be overly eager to bring him back, but perhaps the Orioles can lure him. After all, Monkton isn’t that far from the Mason-Dixon line.

On Friday, there was nothing new on the closer front, the area that preoccupied the Orioles during the winter meetings. Grant Balfour, John Axford and others are still in the running, and with several attractive closers on the market, the Orioles should be able to sign one.

There were lots of names tossed around during the winter meetings, but none signed with the Orioles.

They still need a closer, another starting pitcher, another outfielder and a second baseman.

Perhaps they’re ready to go with Ryan Flaherty, Jonathan Schoop or Jemile Weeks at second, Are they really ready to move on from Brian Roberts?

Despite a little talk about other teams interest in Roberts, he hasn’t been mentioned very often in the last few weeks.

[RELATED: Will it take three-year deal for Balfour to join Orioles? ]

The Orioles drafted Julio Borbon in the low-risk Triple-A portion of the Rule 5 draft. For now, Borbon, Steve Pearce, Francisco Peguero, Nolan Reimold and Henry Urrutia are candidates for the left field job. There certainly will be others on hand two months from now in Sarasota.

If the Orioles could sign Burnett, he could help. Kevin Gausman’s emergence could help in the rotation, too.

For now, the Orioles still have lots of excellent players, a strong lineup with a hole or two in it. They need a player to boost their on-base percentage.

It’s not going to be Peguero, who has a .300 minor league batting average, but never walked more than 21 times in a season. Borbon has walked more often, but Urrutia didn’t draw a single walk in 58 major league at-bats.

Reimold, who has a good eye, is the best hope to boost OBP from this group.

Duquette will address extensions for Chris Davis, J.J. Hardy and Matt Wieters in the coming weeks, and Orioles fans will hope he’ll be successful.

The Orioles are still a young team. Hardy is now the team’s oldest at 31, and only five of the 39 players on the 40-man roster will be 30 by Opening Day.

Fans just hope that Duquette isn’t yet finished building the team and that there’ll be at least another player or two to get excited about.

High School Lites Preview: Week 10

High School Lites Preview: Week 10
February 6, 2014, 3:45 pm
Share This Post

It's a solid Friday of games with teams atop their conference colliding as many outcomes will shift the standings in their league. The rematch between No. 2 Stevenson and No. 3 Zion-Benton is the headline game this Friday and after the Zee-Bees won 70-69 in overtime at The Hive, this should be a good one in Lincolnshire.

Other top matchups include Southland top teams Bloom and Rich East, Southwest Prairie leaders Plainfield North and Plainfield East, DuPage Valley Conference's top two teams in Naperville Central and West Aurora and a battle for the CSL South as Maine South takes on Evanston.

And that doesn't even include a matchup of top-20 teams as No. 20 Mount Carmel takes on No. 19 Fenwick, and a great matchup in girls basketball as Bolingbrook travels to Homewood-Flossmoor. We'll also have the Girls Public League Championship.

[RELATED: CSN Preps Basketball Power Rankings: Week 10]

Comcast SportsNet will have cameras across Chicagoland on Friday for "High School Lites," which starts at 11:30 p.m. and is streamed live at CSNChicago.com.

GIRLS: Bolingbrook at Homewood-Flossmoor, 6:30 p.m.

Many regard Homewood-Flossmoor (17-2 as the top girls basketball team in the area and the Vikings host another top-15 opponent in Southwest Suburban Blue opponent Bolingbrook (15-4). H-F won the first one at Bolingbrook 77-44 in a blowout that snapped Bolingbrook's 93-game conference winning streak. Amarah Coleman had 28 points in that win for the Vikings. Can Bolingbrook bounce back on the road?

Rich East at Bloom, 6:30 p.m.

This one is a matchup of the top two teams in the Southland as red-hot Bloom (12-6, 6-0) hosts second-place Rich East (13-3, 4-2). Bloom has won seven of nine games as head coach Ron Ashlaw has his team in a groove and a two-game lead in the conference. Rich East lost to Bloom 74-64 in December at home and will look to rebound. They've won nine straight games entering the rematch at Bloom.

Plainfield North at Plainfield East, 6:30 p.m.

This battle of for the Southwest Prairie should be a good one as some high-scoring junior wings go at it when Plainfield North's Trevor Stumpe goes against Plainfield East shooting guard Aaron Jordan, an Illinois commit. Stumpe is coming off of a 40-point performance in a loss to Plainfield North (15-6, 6-3) and Jordan and Plainfield East (13-7, 7-2) have won six out of seven games. Plainfield North won at home earlier in the year but they've lost three out of four.

No. 3 Zion-Benton at No. 2 Stevenson, 7:00 p.m.

The rematch.

Zion-Benton vs. Stevenson II should be a good one on Friday and I'll be there for a matchup of top-3 teams and leaders of the North Suburban Lake. Zion-Benton (20-1, 9-0) won a hotly-contested game at The Hive over Stevenson (19-1, 7-1) in a 70-69 overtime thriller on January 10th. Milik Yarbrough is Lake County's new scoring king and the Zee-Bees are tough and talented. But Stevenson will get Matt Johnson back this week and he could be a big difference maker on the offensive end and in the toughness department for the Patriots. Jalen Brunson and Connor Cashaw also continue to play at a high level.

[ALSO: Alexander, Okafor, Ulis included in All-American Game]

Naperville Central at No. 12 West Aurora, 7:30 p.m.

A battle for the DuPage Valley Conference in this one as Naperville Central travels to one of the area's best teams in West Aurora (16-3, 9-0). The Blackhawks are playing great ball since the Pontiac Holiday Tournament and they're unbeaten in the league and two games ahead of the nearest competitor. Senior guard Jontrell Walker is an All-Area candidate and junior Roland Griffin is a breakout wing with a recent offer from Northern Illinois. Naperville Central already played West Aurora this season and lost at home 59-54. Can they get over the hill after winning seven straight games?

No. 20 Mount Carmel at No. 19 Fenwick, 7:00 p.m.

Mount Carmel earned a great home win over St. Joseph last week and senior guard David Nichols continues to play at a high level. Montana Byrd is also a solid player for the Caravan (16-6, 7-2) and they'll face a talented Fenwick (15-6, 6-2) team. Senior wing and Northwestern commit Scott Lindsey is still working his way back from a broken leg and working his way back into the lineup for the Friars.

[IHSA: Public League Playoffs preview]

Evanston at Maine South, 7:30 p.m.

In a matchup of former Top 25 Power Rankings teams and also the two best teams in the Central Suburban South, this should be a good matchup. Maine South won the first contest 61-47 in Evanston, but this is a much better Wildkit ballclub since then as they're 16-6 and stand a game behind in the conference standings at 6-1. Maine South (17-5, 7-0) is a deep and poised team that can carve teams apart with its precise offense. This should be a good one.

Neuqua Valley at Bartlett, 7:15 p.m.

Neuqua Valley (16-6, 9-1) continues to lead in the Upstate Eight River as they host Bartlett. The Wildcats won 61-44 on December 19th at home when these teams first faced but they're coming off a loss to Waubonsie Valley. Bartlett (13-10, 3-5) has struggled lately, as they've lost three straight games heading into their Thursday matchup with East Aurora before playing Neuqua Valley on Friday.

[High School Lites: Week 9 roundup]

Wheaton North at Lake Park, 7:30 p.m.

This is an interesting matchup of teams stuck in the middle of the DuPage Valley standings as Wheaton North (10-9, 4-5) hosts Lake Park (13-10, 3-6). Lake Park won the first one at home 65-53 and Wheaton North has lost four of its last five games. Lake Park is also struggling though, as they've dropped three straight games. Which team can turn it around with a win?

Connecticut insurance regulators are still waiting — one week after a suggested deadline — for insurers to file proposed rates on health plans they intend to sell on the state's public exchange later this year.

All health insurance plans are regulated by the state Insurance Department, which has the authority to approve, modify or deny prices depending on whether they are justified by actuarial science.

In a typical year, insurers file rates in the summer for health plans that take effect the following calendar year. This year, the introduction of new public exchanges by the Affordable Care Act has moved the process earlier.

The Insurance Department wanted insurers to file rates by April 30, a week ago, for any health plan that would be sold on the public exchange. April 30, however, was a guideline, not a firm deadline, department spokeswoman Donna Tommelleo said.

The firm deadline comes at the end of July, when the state's public exchange, Access Health CT, must report to federal health officials all of the health plans that will be available to customers starting Oct. 1. Until then, it is a relative poker game in which no health insurer wants to show their hand first, several people familiar with the process have said.

"We're expecting it to be a busy month," Tommelleo said of May.

Some government snags delayed the process a bit, said Kevin Counihan, CEO of Access Health CT.

"I think you have to look at this a bit nationally … the only states that I'm aware of that have received rates are Vermont, Rhode Island and Maryland," Counihan said. "I think that all the health plans are challenged in part by the complexity of the rules, and sometimes the complexity of the guidelines provided by CMS [the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services]."

The health exchanges and insurance companies are trying to abide by rules that are evolving. And health plans sold on the exchange must adhere to very specific requirements about the benefits they provide and their "actuarial value," which is an assessment of how much a customer will pay for medical bills if you factor in deductibles and copays.

A federal actuarial calculator, released earlier this year, had glitches early on, and it is the mechanism upon which insurers must base the value of their plans, Counihan said. Any plan sold on a public exchange has a rating, named for a precious metal, to illustrate its actuarial value. A bronze plan means the insurer pays 60 percent of expenses, silver is 70 percent, gold is 80 percent and platinum is 90 percent.

"That calculator was released in late winter … I think it was March," Counihan said. "It turned out that when states and carriers started using it, they found out that it had a number of bugs. So, for example, you could raise the deductible and the actuarial value or richness of the plan would go up. Now, obviously that makes no sense. If you're cost shifting more, the actuarial value would go down."

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services fixed the calculator, though some problems remained, Counihan said. Aetna confirmed Monday that it has been waiting for final guidance regarding the actuarial value of standard plans before it can proceed.

Separately, some insurers said the computer system used for filing rates — known by the acronym SERFF — was not working efficiently. However, neither the state Insurance Department nor the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, which oversees use of the SERFF system, noticed any problems with the system.

All around, the process is new and most agree that some delays are to be expected.

"There is a ton of work and resources being poured into getting this right from the plans' perspective," said Keith Stover, a lobbyist and spokesman for the Connecticut Association of Health Plans, a trade group for the health insurers.

As Counihan puts it, "These are very complex calculations and guidelines that the carriers have to abide by with sometimes incomplete and contradictory information."

In January, nine health insurers wrote non-binding letters that they intend to offer either medical insurance or dental coverage on a state health exchange. That list included Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Connecticut, ConnectiCare, HealthyCT and UnitedHealthcare. Counihan said UnitedHealthcare notified him last week that they will not be taking part in the exchange. Cigna Corp. is not participating in Connecticut's health exchange.

Insurers were relatively mum on the issue Monday, with both UnitedHealth Group and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Connecticut declining to comment.

Ken Lalime, the CEO of the new health insurance co-op HealthyCT, said his organization filed its rates late Friday.

"I think there's some internal process that obviously has to take place before they push them up," Lalime said, referring to the rates that are publicly posted on the Insurance Department's website.

"They encouraged us to file as early as possible, all of us, and we got ours in. It was late Friday afternoon, but we did get it in," Lalime said.

Sentinel's 2013 MidWest Florida Super60

By Peter Thompson | For the Senitnel

  Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Tampa Wharton

1 Vernon Hargreaves III DB 5-11 180 Tampa Wharton Hargreaves is considered one of the nation's top cornerback prospects and has received offers but about every major college program. Hargreaves had four interceptions in 2011 and is a special teams phenom with a a number of blocked kicks. Hargreaves who was a consensus first team Class 8A all-stater, is son of USF assistant coach of the same name. In addition to being a lockdown corner, Vernon is a very physical defender as well.
2 Ryan Green RB 5-10 195 St. Petersburg Catholic Green is a breakaway back with top end speed (10.85 good for silver medal at Class 1A state meet. Ryan is also a basketball standout who averaged over 20 p.p.g. this past season. Green, who rushed for 1,171 yards and 19 touchdowns without alot of help from his inexperienced teammates, has about 30 offers including the entire SEC, Notre Dame, and Oregon.
3 Jordan Sherit DL 6-4 240 Tampa Hillsborough Sherit reminds many of former Alonzo standout and current Miami Hurricane, Anthony Chickillo. Jordan was a first team Class 6A all-state selection last season. This straight-A student has about 30 offers and can go wherever he wishes. He is one of the top guys on USF's board along with Hargreaves, and Bulls would love to keep him home. Sherit is like Chickillo __ a very high motor defensive end.
4 Mackensie Alexander DB 5-10170 Immokaleeanother national recruit who decommited from Tennessee a few months ago. The first team all-stater in 2011, had three interceptions and would certainly have had more if teams did not throw away from him. This lockdown corner plans on taking his five official visits before chosing a school. He has already qualified academically.
5 Leon McQuay III DB 6-2 190 Seffner Armwood McQuay is generally considered to be one of the nation's top safety prospect for 2013. Another three-sport standout who plays soccer and was a state qualifier in the 300 meter hurdles, McQuay played a very major role in Armwood's Class 6A state title run, and made first team all-state as a defender. Leon is a very fundamentally sound tackler and had about 30 offers as of early May.
6 Derrick Calloway DL 6-1 317 Bradenton Manatee The leader of what should be one of the nation's top defensive lines, was virtually unblockable last season enroute to first team CLass 7A all-state honors and a state title to boot. Derrick lists over 30 offers including Ohio State, USC, and Miami. Calloway also captured the Class 4A shot put title with a toss of over 54 feet.
7 Alvin Bailey ATH 5-11 175 Seffner Armwood There may not have been a more exciting playmaker in the state last than Bailey who split duties between quarterback and wide receiver. Alvin is literally a human highlight reel with some incredible tape. Bailey holds over 30 offers from about everybody but Alabama and Florida. He compiled over 2,200 yards in total offense last season and earned first team 6A honors.
8 Deadrin Senat DL 6-2310 Immokalee It was, "How do you pronounce that," at the January Under Armour camp for Senat, but now DEE-DRIN is a household name. Built like a house, the strong D-tackle brings a mean streak you gotta have down in those trenches, while his strength and footwork are relentless. As good as he is, he could still improve. A scary thought.
9 Travis Johnson WR 6-3 230 Tampa Jesuit In a class that has an abundance of big receivers, Johnson is one of the best. He is also an outstanding safety who had seven picks in 2011 enroute to earning second team all-state honors in Class 5A. Johnson is not afraid to catch in traffic holds offers from USC, Notre Dame, UF, FSU, and Oklahoma. Johnson was also a region qualifier in track.
10 Cord Sandberg QB 6-2 206 Bradenton Manatee Sandberg has played since his freshman season when he replaced an injured Brion Carnes (Nebraska) for a few games. Cord who is the son of Manatee assistant Chuck Sandberg, is blessed with deceptive speed (736 rushing yards in 2011), in addition to his left-handed passing skills. Sandberg threw for just over 2,000 yards in 2011 in leading Manatee to the Class 7A state title. Sandberg who is also a baseball standout, was a first team all-stater and holds close to 25 offers including Auburn which offered him when he was a sophomore.
11 Adam Lane RB 5-8200Winter Haven There may not be a stronger running back prospect in the nation than Lane who bench-pressed 415 pounds at the state meet which earned him a silver medal. Lane has fully recovered from a leg injury incurred last August which sidelined him for his entire junior season. He did rush for over 1,000 yards as a sophomore. Adam is a Florida commit who also has a little work to do in the classroom.
12 Richy Klepal OL 6-5 280 Tampa Plant Klepal's stock has been soaring this spring with numerous offers coming his way. Klepal who is a very athletic right tackle, is very strong at getting to the second level of opposing defenses. Richy had over 20 offers in early May that include FSU, USF, USC, UCF, and South Carolina. Klepal played a key role in helping Plant win the Class 8A state title last season.
13 Rodney Adams WR 6-1 170 St. Petersburg Lakewood Adams is a Florida commitment but who recently received offers from Alabama and West Virginia. Rodney who transferred to Lakewood from St Pete Catholic prior to his junior season, finished the year with 25 catches for 940 yards and 10 touchdowns. Adams earned third team Class 5A all-state honors. Adams has excellent ball skills and has a number of circus catches on his highlight reel.
14 Joey Ivie DL 6-4 270 Dade City Pasco Perhaps no prospect in the state has seen his stock soar as high as Ivie's over the past month. A virtual unknown last season, Ivie held 17 offers as of early May. Joey is getting a lot of love from the likes of FSU, UF, Miami, and Tennessee to name a few. Ivie is another high motor defensive tackle who finished fifth in the state weightlifing finals with a bench of 385 pounds.
15 Tshumbi Johnson ATH 5-11 180 Immokalee Tshumbi is an extremely gifted athlete who plays quarterback but commited to USF as a receiver. This four-year starter threw for 2,582 yards and 25 touchdowns in addition to rushing for just over 1,000 yards last season. The first team Class 5A all-state performer recently received an offer from Appalachian State as a quarterback so it appears as if USF is not yet a done deal.
16 Joe Fennell OL 6-4 312 South Fort Myers Fennell is a gargantuan road-grading hog who is one of the state's top offensive line prospect for 2013. Fennell who was a third team Class 6A all-state pick in 2011, has over 30 offers to date. Included in that list are all the in-state programs in addition to Oklahoma. Some work still needs to be done in the classroom.
17 Freddie Stevenson LB 6-1 220 Bartow This linebacker's stock has risen as fast as anyone in the state this spring. As of late May, Stevenson had over 20 offers that include FSU, Texas A&M, Penn State, West Virginia, UCF, and Western Kentucky. Freddie is considered the best prospect out of Bartow in the past 10 years.
18 Richard Benjamin WR 5-11 194 Tampa Bay Tech Benjamin who transferred to Tampa Bay Tech from a down-trodden Middleton program in January, is a true burner who was asked to do just about everything offensively for winless Middleton last season. As of early May, Benjamin had offers from USF, Ohio State, USC, Florida, and FSU. He should be close to 40 offers when it is all said and done.
19 Jayron Kearse ATH 6-4 200 South Fort Myers Kearse transferred to South Ft Myers from Cypress Lake where the started at quarterback the past three seasons. The cousin of current NFL defensive lineman, Jevon Kearse, Jayron will play either wideout or safety at the next level. Kearse is a Miami commit who flipped on Auburn last season. He is expected to remain a Cane unless the program gets hit with devastating sanctions.
20 Nigel Harris LB 6-2 202 Tampa Hillsborough Like teammate Jordan Sherit, Harris is another high academic type (3.9 g.p.a.), who is holding offers from Vanderbilt, USF, Texas Tech, and Indiana. This three-year veteran is a very heady defender who is more like a coach on the field for the Terriers.
21 T.J. Johnson RB 5-8 170 Cape Coral Island Coast Johnson is one of the state's fastest running backs who projects as more of a slot receiver in college. T.J. who now attends his third high school in as many years, rushed for 750 years while sharing duties with FSU signee Mario Pender. Island Coast will use a pass-oriented spread offense with the addition of QB Kurt Benkert, so Johnson who placed third in the state 100 meters (10.68), should flourish. C.J. is an outstanding pass receiver as well. He currently has offers from Notre Dame, Tennessee, USF, Miami and Ole Miss.
22 Kennard Swanson DL 6-0 265 Lakeland Lake Gibson Swanson is a very unique athlete who in addition to dominating most offensive linemen (10 sacks in 2011), also scored eight touchdowns as a short yardage running back. Kennard commited to LSU in early June as a fullback and he currently holds offers from Missouri, UCF, Purdue, West Virginia, and USC to hame a few. Although a tad short, Swanson has a very quick first couple of steps.
23 Mike Heuerman TE 6-3 220 Naples Barron Collier Heuerman whose older brother Jeff plays tight end for Ohio State, is a recent Notre Dame commit who chose the Irish over the Buckeyes. Mike played in just four games in 2011 but had 27 receptions for 300 in a run-oriented offese. It remains to be seen if Urban Meyer can swing him attending school in Columbus as opposed to South Bend.
24 Janarion Grant ATH 5-11 170 Dade City Pasco Grant who is the nephew of former Pasco standouts Darren and Troy Hambrick, is a blessed athlete who in addition to being an outstanding receiver (48-956-18 in 2011), is also one of the state's top return men. This first team Class 5A all-stater, has offers from Rutgers, UConn, East Carolina, and Texas Tech.
25 Blake Keller DL 6-2 210 Bradenton Manatee Although Keller is undersized for a defensive end, he was state champ Manatee's most produtive defensive lineman last season with 13 sacks which earned Keller second team all-state status. Blake currently holds offers from UCF, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, and Iowa State.
26 Jeremy Kerr TE 6-6 257 St. Petersburg High Kerr is beginning to blow up with offers and recognition after getting an initial offer from Miami. Sionce then Louisville and Wake Forest have offered and many more are expected to follow. Kerr is more of a traditional tight end prospect who is an outstanding blocker for the run-oriented Green Devils. Jeremy was also a state qualifier in the discus this spring.
27 Mike Love DL 6-4 225 Clearwater Countryside Love is a lean and cat-quick defensive end who was named the Pinellas County defensive-player-of-the-year and second team Class 7A all-state honors after recording 15 1/2 sacks in 2011. As of early May, Love had 15 offers from the likes of West Virginia, NCState, FIU, and Purdue. Love has the frame to add on another 25 pounds in college.
28 Paris Bostick DB 6-1 205 Tampa Plant Bostick is a solid strong safety prospect who played alongside Stanford signee Drew Madhu in the Panthers secondary last season. Bostick listed 10 offers as of early May that includes USF, West Virginia, Boston College, Louisville, and Illinois.
29 Devyn Salmon DL 6-2 280 Plant Ciyvery aggressive defensive line prospect who is generating alot of interest that includes offers from Iowa State, Wake Forest, Memphis, USF, and South Alabama. Devyn has a high motor and extremely quick feet and he expects a big senior season.
30 Johnell Barnes WR 6-0 170 Fort Myers Dunbar Barnes increased his stock tremendously after earning wide receiver MVP honors at the VTO Orlando combine in late April. Johnell is quick as a cat and has excellent separation speed. As a junior, Barnes had 602 receiving yards and six touchdowns. Barnes holds offers from Duke, Northwestern, UConn, Western Kentucky, and UMass.
31 Xavier Richardson WR 6-4 210 Immokalee Richardson like cousin, close friend, and teammate Tshumbi Johnson, was an early USF commit. He also holds a offer from South Carolina after putting up 890 receiving yards and nine touchdowns last season enroute to earning honorable mention recognition on the Class 5A all-state team.
32 Eric Moate RB 6-0 180 Riverview Spoto If there be a human interest story concerning a young athlete overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds, it is Moate whose parents are both in state prison but who has a 3.9 grade-point-average while living with an aunt. After capturing the Hillsborough County 100-meters title (10.76), Moate has earned college offers from the likes of Auburn, Purdue, Michigan, and Duke after rushing for just over 1,200 yards as a junior.
33 Kurt Benkert QB 6-3 202 Cape Coral Island Coast Benkert who moved to Lee County from Maryland prior to his junior season, is a top-5 quarterback prospect in Florida who threw for 2,771 yards with 25 touchdowns and just five interceptions. Benkert transferred from Cape Coral High to Island Coast after last season, and reportedly holds offers from Maryland, UCF, UConn, and USF.
34 Cameron Ruff OL/DL 6-3 285 Tampa Jesuit Ruff projects as either an offensive lineman or on the other side of the ball. Camaron has added about 20 pounds since last season and has helped his stock tremendously. Ruff currently holds offers from Cincinnati, West Virginia, UConn, Purdue, and UMass.
35 Bobby Leath DL 6-4 290 Lake Wales Leath is an imposing physical specimen who is kin to former Lake Wales and FSU tight end, Melvin Pearsall and hoopster Roy Leath. Leath who is just beginning to scratch the surface and realize his athletic talent, had offers from USF, Tennessee, Missouri, UCF, and USF as of early May.
36 Darry Richardson QB 6-5 230 Seffner Armwood Richardson who transferred to Armwood from Tampa Bay Tech prior to his junior season had not even begun to reach his potential. His size and athleticism speak for itself but as a passer he still needs some fine tuning. Richardson holds reported offers from Tennessee, Ohio State, Ole Miss, and Missouri.
37 Eric Carter WR 5-11 185 Lakeland Lake Gibson Carter is an extremely smmoth route runner who has excellent hands. As a junior, Eric caught 51 passes for 850 yards and six touchdowns. Carter currently holds offers from Purdue, Western Kentucky, Cincinnati, Missouri, and FIU.
38 Mackenroe Alexander DB 5-11 185 Immokalee The twin brother of Mackensie, Mackenroe holds offers from Louisville and FIU, and would hold more but for some academic deficiencies. With a concentrated effort in the classroom, he should improve his stock because like his brother, he is a very talented cover corner prospect.
39 David Jones DB 5-9 200 Lake Wales Jones plays linebacker and running back for the Highlanders but due to his size, projects as a safety prospect at the next level. Jones who has been a starter since his freshman season, currently holds offers from Kansas State, Southern Miss, and Temple.
40 Darren Hambrick LB 6-2 225 Brooksville Hernando Hambrick is the son of Darren Hambrick, arguably the greatest athlete to come out of Pasco County. His son is the same size as his father the year he led Pasco to a state championship, and hold offers from Missouri, Western Kentucky, and Kent State. He also holds interest from Miami and South Carolina.
41 Cory Crawford WR 200 Palmetto 6-1 Crawford is another big wide receiver prospect who helped lead Palmetto to the Class 5A semifinals before losing to eventual state champ, Miami Norland. Cory had 38 receptions for 647 yards and seven touchdowns, and hold offers from Rutgers, Toledo, Western Kentucky, and Temple.
42 Shaquem Griffin DB 6-2 185 St. Petersburg Lakewood Griffin is yet another human interest story who was born without a left hand. Despite those odds, Shaquem has overcome his adversity and has offers from UMass, Boston College, FIU, and Western Kentucky. Griffin also captured a state triple jump title and also ran on the Spartans winning 4 X 400 meter relay team with his twin brother Shaquille.
43 Tate Hernly OL 6-3270 Fort Myers Hernly is a recent commit to UCF. Tate added on another 25 pounds in the offseason which has only improved his stock. Although Hernly plays tackle for the Green Wave, he projects as an offensive guard or possibly center in college. Tate is an International Baccalaureate student with a 1,200 SAT score.
44 Jacky Marcellus WR 5-8 185 Immokalee The only thing holding back Marcellus is his size. But Jacky is one of the most explosive playmakers in Southwest Florida who has the game tape to back it up. Marcellus plays both running back and in the slot, and had over 1,400 combined yards last season. Jacky hold offers from UMass, Rutgers, and Appalachian State.
45 Vontavius West DB 5-11 170 Bartow West is a cover corner who can fly (4.48 forty), and Vontavius has collected offers from USF, Ball State, FIU, Houston, and Western Michigan as of late May. His stock is certain to rise if he can put together a strong senior season.
46 Anthony Lauro RB/WR 5-10 193 Bradenton Manatee Lauro despite some nagging injuries his junior season, finished with 600 rushing yards and 550 receiving yards for the Class 7A state champs. Anthony who is considered the fastest player on the Hurricanes squad, holds offers from Akron and Western Kentucky as of early May.
47 Mike Jones RB 6-0 183 Sarasota Booker Jones is a hard-nosed running back who ran for 1,354 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2011. Mike earned Class 4A honorable mention status and currently holds offers from Western Kentucky and a number of other Sun Belt Conference programs. Jones is also reportedly drawing interest from UCF.
48 Robert Davis RB 5-9 175 Tampa Carrollwood There may not be a more exciting skill player at the small school level than Davis who rushed for 1,837 yards enroute to first team Class 2A all-state honors in 2011. Davis is also one of the state's top kick return players and currently holds offers from FIU, Ball State, and North Texas.
49 Pete DiNovo QB 6-2 203 Tarpon Springs East Lake DiNovo is regarded as the top quarterback prospect in Pinellas County after throwing for 2,456 yards and 19 touchdowns last season for a team that reached the third round of state playoffs for the first time in school history. DiNovo received his first offer from Houston at the end of spring ball, and is getting looks from UCF, Navy, Ball State, and Indiana.
50 T.J. Simmons LB 6-0 220 Lakeland Simmons is a tackling machine who was credited with 137 stops in 2011 enroute to earning third team all-state recognition in Class 7A. Simmons recently commited to Western Kentucky and also holds an offer from Iowa State.

52 Clyde Newton RB 6-0 205 Punta Gorda Charlotte Newton is a bruising running back who placed third at the state weightlifting meet with a bench press of 360 pounds. Clyde is a high-character kid who holds offers from Miami and South Alabama. Newton most likely projects as a fullback at the next level.
53 T.J. Douglas ATH 6-1 185 Fort MyersDouglas is an outstanding quarterback for the Green Wave who passed for just over 1,400 yards and rushed for about 600 yards last season. Douglas who is mainly being recruited as an athlete, holds offers from FIU and Arkansas State. T.J. is also getting some serious looks from UCF.
54 Reggie Meant DL 6-4 235 Cape Coral Ida Baker Meant is a lean athlete whose best days are ahead of him. Reggie has the frame to add on another 25 pounds down the road. Meant holds offers from Western Michigan and Ball State.
55 Wesley Bullock RB 5-7 175 Tampa Plant Bullock might be tiny but he proved himself last season during Plant's state title run, especially in the state final. Wesley rushed for just over 1,600 yards last season and earned third team Class 8A all-state recognition. Bullock currently holds offers from Ball State, Bowling Green, and Western Kentucky. The MAC would seem to be a great fit.
56 Will Worth LB/QB 6-1 210 Lithia Newsome Worth might well be the toughest quarterback in the state this season. He not only runs Newsome's run-oriented option offense but also stars at linebacker and rarely leaves the field. Worth is a high academic (4.0 g.p.a.) athlete who currently holds offers from Navy and Furman.
57 Kyle Jones OL 6-4 290 Mulberry Jones is a very rugged lineman who recently commited to FIU. Kyle is a weight room warrior who can bench press 400 pounds. This first team All-Polk County hog could see his stock rise over the course of this coming season.
58 Matt Breida RB 5-9 175 Brooksville Nature Coast Brieda is a scatback who rushed for well over 300 yards against Brooksville Central last season. Matt has put a concentrated effort into his off-season training and it has paid off so far with offers from Toledo, Akron, UMass, Ball State, and Georgia Southern.
59 Derrick Doss ATH 5-9 195 Largo Doss is another multi-sport standout who earned second team all-state mention as a linebacker after making close to 100 tackles in 2011. Doss is also a running back who returned six kicks for scores last season. Doss placed sixth at the state wrestling tournament. Western Kentucky is reportedly close to offering Doss.
60 Zach Benjamin WR 6-4 180 Tampa Catholic Benjamin is a tall and lanky receiver who has seen his stock rise over the past few months. Benjamin who currently holds offers from Air Force, Toledo, and UMass is expected to flourish in TC's new spread offense directed by junior quarterback Chivarsky Corbett.

A Palestinian health official says Israeli troops have killed a man and wounded another in the Gaza Strip.

Gaza health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Kidra says the two men were shot near the border with Israel. He identified the man killed as Bilal Samir Awida, a 22-year-old civilian. Kidra said the circumstances behind the violence were not clear.

The Israeli military said the shooting Friday happened after dozens of Palestinians hurled rocks and rolled burning tires toward soldiers at the border. The military said soldiers fired warning shots into the air before shooting at the Palestinians.

After a period of relative calm, violence has spiked in recent weeks along the Gaza-Israel border. This week Israel killed a key Gaza militant it blamed for a wave of rocket attacks.

Product Description

LA CAROLINA Cigar Sale. Campana cigars are 5½" Long with a Ring Gauge of 56. They are meticulously Box-Pressed. Each cigar is totally hand made with aged long leaf Binder and Fillers, wrapped in extra premium Wrappers. Every hand rolled cigar is made by the expert hands of the traditional Torcedores of Tabacalera Esteli. Just as the Cupido Cigars brand that these cigars were previously made under, LA CAROLINA Campana are boxed in beautiful Cedar boxes handmade from the finest trees in the mountains of Nicaragua. They have that special naturally fruity tobacco taste and low nicotine content that made Cupido Cigars the top rated medium body cigar in America.

Each is handmade under extremely high quality standards and in very limited quantities. Only 7,000 boxes are available yearly. This is the same great tobacco and blend that was used to make Cupido Cigars by Tabacalera Esteli, and that gained Cupido the distinction of the number 1 rated medium-bodied cigar in America. If you enjoyed Cupido, you will be delighted by LA CAROLINA. LA CAROLINA is alone in its ability to provide great flavor, smoothness, and consistency.

Puff the Magic of LA CAROLINA at sale prices. Every signed and numbered Box contains a true representation of the fine art of Cuban Cigar making. These are the Outstanding Ratings of the cigars when they were made under the Cupido label: Ranked the Number 1 Medium Bodied Cigar in America 2004. Voted Boutique Brand of the year for 1999 and 2000. 90 from Cigar Insiders. 89 Rating from Cigar Aficionado Magazine. 4.5 (Highly Recommended) from Smoke Magazine.

Fine cigar maker Jose Alonso started LA CAROLINA during the 1840’s. This master roller knew he could make the best cigars in Cuba, and he did. The high quality and exceptional taste elevated the brand to become one of Cuba’s most demanded cigars. They became the cigars that aficionados in Cuba smoked. Now once again they are available to just a few cigar aficionados. Handmade in small batches with extraordinary attention to each and every detail, these cigars are crafted with exceptional hand-selected tobacco leaves from Tabacalera Esteli’s special harvest. Each leaf is comparable in looks and in taste as those that Jose Alonso hand rolled. Those who have the opportunity to smoke them will insist that they were made by Jose Alonso himself.

To say that I am obsessed with this new track by mysterious mystery band Rhye is an understatement. I am enamored. I am entranced. I want to spend three hours today building a shrine with bits of shell and gold leaf and vaguely religious candles for this song. I want to spend the evening with my head curled up in this song’s lap as it gently strokes my hair and caresses my cheek. I want this song to be transmogrified into a light Fall coat so I can wear it everywhere all the time.

Here is the song in collage form (I am a gifted artist):

As I listen to this song, many questions pop into my head. What angel is behind this voice? Why do I feel so floaty? How many times can I listen to this song before it becomes too many? Will anyone ever be a fool for my belly? What does this person want to stay open? Am I open? Is Chipotle open yet or is it too early? Have I ever been truly honest with someone I loved? Am I too cold and distant? No but really, when will Chipotle be open?

(Answers: No idea, the song is magic, infinity, maybe?, eyes/heart/Target?, probably not, yes, no, maybe, 11am at most locations).

Rhye recently signed to Innovative Leisure Records (because everything they do is awesome). They probably live in an enchanted forest but it must have wireless Internet because they have Twitter and Facebook. No details have been released about who they are but in my head they look like this:

Alleged iPhone 5S Batteries Pictured On Assembly Line

An image of what is claimed to be a bunch of new batteries for the iPhone 5S on an assembly line has surfaced today. If it is genuine, it confirms the iPhone 5S will be battery-powered like its predecessors, and it debunks rumors that have claimed Apple will turn to more traditional energy means such as coal and paraffin.

The batteries are all plain, unfortunately, so it’s hard to tell whether they boast larger capacities than previous iPhone batteries, or whether they are any different at all. The lack of any identification also means that it’s even harder to tell they’re even Apple batteries; they could be for anything, really.

But they wouldn’t be the first Apple parts to slip out of Apple’s partner factories. In recent months, we’ve seen a number of alleged iPhone 5S parts, including SIM trays, vibration motors, displays, and numerous flex cables for different components. There’s a good chance we’ll see more before the device gets its unveiling this fall as well.

More religion & CRT--where's ideology & CRT?!

Science this week published an article that finds low CRT predicts religiosity & that backs this finding up w/ experimental data:

It's a really excellent study. The experiments were ingenious. It should be pointed out, though, that this finding corroborates another excellent one, Shenhav, A., Rand, D.G. & Greene, J.D. Divine intuition: Cognitive style influences belief in God. Journal of Experimental Psychology (2011), advance online doi:10.1037/a0025391.

I'm waiting, patiently, for someone to publish some data on correlation between CRT & liberal-conservative ideology. As I've noted before, data that CCP has collected suggests that there is virtually none -- or that there are weak offsetting correlations between different cultural dimensions of conservatism (hierarchy & individualism).

The reason I'm waiting is that such data would contribute a lot to the increasing interest in the relationship between ideology & quality/style of cognitive processing (the Republic Brain hypothesis or "RBH," let's call it). Shane Frederick's CRT scale & Numeracy (which incorporates CRT) are the only validated indicators of the disposition to use systematic or System 2 reasoning as opposed to heuristic or system 1. So it would, of course, be super useful to see what the CTR verdict is on whether conservatives & liberals differ in processing.

Being patient while waiting is becoming more difficult. I've got to believe that such evidence is already in hand; given the interest in the RB hypothesis, surely someone (likely multiple people) have thought to try to test it w/ the CRT measure. It would be sad to discover that the reason the data haven't been reported is that they don't fit the hypothesis -- that is, don't show that liberals are more "systematic" or System-2 disposed in their thinking.

Actually, I suppose I have data in hand, but at least I've blogged on them!

Oh-- if I'm wrong to think that this is a matter on which no one has yet presented data, please tell me and I'll happily acknowledge my error & share the relevant references w/ other curious people.

Future Links clinic comes to Amherst

Reaching out to young golfers

AMHERST - Liam Starratt plays golf to socialize with others and spend time with his dad.

So when the CN Future Links Junior Golf Program came to Amherst yesterday, the eight-year-old saw it as an opportunity to brush up on his skills so he can be more competitive out there with his dad.

"I need to work on my putting," Starratt said.

Instructor Jenny Brine was on the scene at the Rotary Centennial Park to teach more than 20 Amherst youngsters the fundamentals of golf.

Kids were shown the proper form and technique of a golf swing and practiced chipping and putting. Brine said the aim of the program is just to get kids playing the game and to show them ways to hit a ball accurately.

Amherst director of community and economic development programming, Dwight Jones, was pleased to land the national golf program in Amherst.

"We wanted to expose kids to this national instructional golf program," he said. "It's a challenging sport that the children can play for a lifetime.

"We're just pleased that they had an opportunity to come and visit and we could expose the kids to this very worthwhile program."

Jones said the town is currently working on bringing in another, more advanced version of the Future Links program. If all goes as planned, that session should run near the end of August.

In the meantime, an eight-week kids' golf program gets underway today at the Amherst Golf Club, led by club pro Frank McShane.

Organizations: Future Links, Amherst Golf Club

Geographic location: Amherst, Rotary Centennial Park

Rockstar Makita Suzuki team manager Roger DeCoster says that newly signed rider Matt Moss has been released from the hospital and is at home recuperating from the injury he suffered at the final round of the Australasian Supercross Championship in Brisbane, December 5.Moss suffered a compression of the T5 vertebra when he crashed on the last lap while competing in the Lites class."Everything has been going real good," DeCoster said. "He went home last Friday and is walking around."DeCoster said that he doesn't know for sure exactly how long he'll be out of action."I know he'll miss some rounds (of the 2010 AMA Supercross Series), but I just don't know how many," DeCoster said. "I believe he'll be coming to California fairly soon to see a specialist, but I really don't have a time frame on anything yet."When Moss returns, he'll join Ryan Dungey aboard the RM-Z450 in the Supercross and outdoors series.

Ryan Dungey will be one of three former 450 champs battling for this years 450-class crown.

Ryan Dungey will be one of three former 450 champs battling for this year’s 450-class crown. PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIT PALMER

With the Red Bull Glen Helen National just a few days away, the motocross teams and riders are making their final preparations for the beginning of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship. The 12-round championship gets underway at Glen Helen Raceway on May 24 after a four-year hiatus from the world-famous facility. Early weather forecasts suggest that conditions will be ideal for Saturday’s race. In other words, not nearly as hot as last Friday’s pro practice day at Glen Helen when temperatures reached the low-to-mid 90s. As of now, they’re talking low-80s for Saturday’s race. But it’s still early.

The Jody Weisel-designed and Karl Scanlon-built track is shaping nicely. The Glen Helen racecourse is known for its dramatic elevation changes, unique obstacles and spectacular jumps, and that tradition will certainly continue. Lap times, however, are still a little on the long side at about two minutes and 20-25 seconds — they’re shooting for right around the 2:10-15 mark.

Canadian Champion Brett Metcalfe will be filling in for the injured Ryan Villopoto on the factory Monster Energy Kawasaki Team.

Canadian Champion Brett Metcalfe will be filling in for the injured Ryan Villopoto on the factory Monster Energy Kawasaki Team.

A few weeks ago, Kawasaki announced that Monster Energy Kawasaki Team rider Ryan Villopoto would not be back to defend his 450 outdoor title in order to take care of a lingering knee injury. This was certainly a blow to the green team and the series, but at least the Kawasaki team picked up a formidable replacement in Brett Metcalfe, a former factory team racer and current 450 Canadian Motocross Champion. The 30-year-old Aussie was originally planning on returning to Canada this summer to defend his number-one plate until getting a call from Kawasaki saying that Villopoto was out and that he was in — that is if he wanted the job. He did, of course, and he’ll be wearing the number-24 plate this summer. Metcalfe was already planning on riding the Glen Helen National before heading north and was already riding a Kawasaki, so the veteran racer should be a force to be reckoned with come Saturday. “Metty” also rode a few rounds last year in the U.S. on a privateer KX450F and did quite well, which included a fourth at Southwick. So don’t be surprised if he lands on the podium at Glen Helen or at other races down the road atop Villopoto’s factory race bike.

Of course, Jake Weimer fills out the rest of the Monster Energy Kawasaki team. Weimer has a lot to prove after a disappointing season in Supercross. He is also coming off an injury but should be 100-percent by Glen Helen.

When it comes to star power, helping to make up for Villopoto’s absence will be the return of Chad Reed. The Discount Tire/TwoTwo Motorsports Kawasaki rider turned in some amazing rides during this year’s Supercross Series before he went down with an injury. But that’s history. He says he’s healthy now and ready to ride MX again. Reed won the 450 outdoor Championship in 2009 aboard a factory-backed Suzuki. It was the last time he has won a major AMA Championship.

Muscle Milk Hondas finished third in the 2013 championship. Hes aiming higher this year.

Muscle Milk Honda’s Justin Barcia finished third in the 2013 championship. He’s aiming higher this year.

Honda will have a strong 450 team, again. Trey Canard and Justin Barcia of the Muscle Milk Honda factory effort are both healthy and ready to go. Barcia, third in last year’s 450 outdoor championship and probably on his last stint with the Honda team, wants redemption after a less-than-stellar Supercross season, and Canard, fourth last year, wants to start a season healthy after suffering an injury just before the 2014 Supercross Championship. Canard is a former 250 MX Champion and is looking forward to getting his first number-one pate in the big-bore class.

Honda will also have Eli Tomac and Wil Hahn on the Mike LaRocco-managed GEICO Honda Team. Unfortunately, the team is banged up right now and will miss the first few rounds. Tomac is coming off a broken collarbone, suffered just a few weeks ago and Hahn is temporarily out of action with injuries suffered in the middle of Supercross. Tomac won’t return until sometime in June, and LaRocco says that Hahn probably won’t be ready until the last four or five rounds of the outdoor series. Tomac is the 2013 250 National Champion and Hahn is the 2013 250 East Supercross Champion.

Arguably, the strongest team in the 450 Championship is the two-rider Red Bull KTM squad made up of Ryan Dungey and Ken Roczen. Either one can realistically win the 450 title. Dungey is a two-time 450 outdoor Champion (2010 and 2012) and Roczen is a 250 (MX2) World Champion (2011). These guys can go fast outdoors. Dungey finished runner-up to Villopoto last year, and this will be Roczen’s first full year outdoors on the big bike.

Yoshimura Suzukis James Stewart is hungry for a championship. Hes got the speed to get it done but consistency has been his Achilles Heal as of late.

Yoshimura Suzuki’s James Stewart is hungry for a championship. He’s got the speed to get it done but consistency has been his Achilles Heal as of late.

And then there’s James Stewart. The Yoshimura Suzuki rider is probably the most unpredictable rider on the circuit these days. There’s no doubt he can be — and usually is — the fastest man on the track, but trouble seems to follow him around these last few years of his career. He could go on a rampage and sweep the entire schedule like he did in 2008, or he could crash out or have something just plain weird happen to him at any moment. That seems to be the trend with him these days. But he knows how to be consistent; after all, he won every single 450 moto in 2008 en route to his first and only outdoor big-bike title, but after taking a breather and sitting out a few outdoors seasons after that, he’s struggling to find that consistency again. Could this be the turn-around season for him? It could very well be. He’s happy with the RM-Z450, he’s happy with his Yoshimura Suzuki team, he’s happy with the progress he and his team are making in outdoor training/testing, and he’s happy to be going for the 450 outdoor title again, and when Stewart’s happy, everyone else on the track is usually, well…not happy. We shall soon see.

Speaking of Stewart, his younger brother Malcolm will be in the mix as well. He will return on the lone Lucas Oil/MavTV/Troy Lee Designs Honda in the 450 field.

Yamaha and the Toyota JGRMX Team are relying on Josh Grant to get the job done. Grants teammate  Justin Brayton  is still mending from injuries.

Yamaha and the Toyota/JGRMX Team are relying on Josh Grant to get the job done. Grant’s teammate, Justin Brayton, is still mending from injuries.

Once again, the Yamaha factory will be represented in the 450 class by the Toyota/JGRMX/Yamaha Team with Justin Brayton, Josh Grant and Phil Nicoletti. Unfortunately for them, though, Brayton might not be 100-percent ready for the Glen Helen opener. The Iowa-native is coming off of a pair of injuries, a broken foot and a fractured hand, but according to the team, they expect him be lining up on the start line. Meanwhile, Grant and Nicoletti are healthy and ready to make a move. Grant is looking for the form that got him his last moto win in 2010.

The BTO Sports KTM team has one healthy rider ready to go and that’s Andrew Short. Their other rider, Matt Goerke, is still on the injured list and not expected to return until High Point or later.

Davi Millsaps is finally somewhat healthy again — sort of — after missing all of Supercross this year and will be on the line at Glen Helen on the Rockstar Racing Team KTM 450 SX-F. Millsaps hasn’t race since the last Supercross round in Las Vegas in 2013, nor has he raced the KTM yet. (He rode the 2013 Supercross Series on Rockstar-backed Suzuki). Like Villopoto this year, Millsaps elected to have knee surgery after the 2013 SX season and forfeited the 450-class title run. But a new knee injury since then prevented him from suiting up for the 2014 Supercross Series. Millsaps has also been nagged by a foot injury that has kept him off the bike more than he would like lately, so he probably won’t be 100 percent yet when he lines up behind the gate at Glen Helen. Millsaps has some serious catching up to do and has to get up to speed quickly if he want a shot at the 450 title, but he is a seasoned veteran and it shouldn’t take him long to get into the swing of things.

While Millsaps was out, former 250 MX Champion Ivan Tedesco stepped in for him on the Rockstar Energy Team. His deal was just for Supercross, which gave him the chance to take over for Josh Hill who was not re-signed by the Soaring Eagle RCH Suzuki Team after the 2014 Supercross Series. Tedesco’s Ricky Carmichael/Cary Hart-run RCH Suzuki teammate will be the hard-working Weston Peick, who got the opportunity to fill in for the injured Brock Tickle, who might miss the entire outdoor series.

Mike Alessi will be racing in his backyard before heading north to compete in the Canadian Nationals.

Mike Alessi will be racing in his backyard before heading north to compete in the Canadian Nationals.

And how can you talk about the Glen Helen National without mentioning the local “boy” Mike Alessi who always adds a bit of excitement whenever he gets on the track, especially Glen Helen, which is just a short drive from his home in Hesperia. He’s always a threat at Glen Helen but this will be our only chance to see him race outdoors this year in America. He and his Smarttop MotoConcepts Team, which includes Kyle Cunningham, will travel north to Canada after the Glen Helen race to compete in the Canadian Nationals.

Other racers heading to Canada this year include, Kyle Chisholm, Josh Hill and Robert Kiniry.

So, with that all being said, who do you think will win the 450-class opener at Glen Helen? And who do you think will go on to win the 450-class Championship?

Assos JS.Laalalai jersey

Price as reviewed:

Latest Deal

New & Used from eBay

I’ve had this jersey since last season, but it’s taken me a while to work out how and when to use it.

The warm and changeable weather of late brought the perfect chance, as it’s ideal for when a rain cape is overkill.

The shower-proof layer takes up less room in my pockets than armwarmers and gilet, and is just perfect for popping on to keep the worst of the spray and corresponding chill off my chest and upper arms.

It’s a race cut, which means the fit is close, but be warned: if you are slightly damp, the arms have a tendency to stick to the skin, which makes it tricky to take off on the fly. A considered purchase; once you start using it, you’ll realise how useful it is.

Cyclone Headlines
- Tuesday’s game marks the 56th overall meeting between the Cyclones and Sooners. While, Oklahoma owns the all-time series, it has been Iowa State who has dominated in recent years, winning the last five meetings against the Sooners, including the last three in Hilton Coliseum.
Iowa State is 8-2 at home against the Oklahoma Sooners under head coach Bill Fennelly. The Cyclones are also 13-8 in the regular-season meetings against the Sooners.
-Iowa State sits at 28th in the latest RPI rankings after a 14-3 start to the season. Iowa State is currently the fourth among all Big 12 schools.
-The Cyclones dropped seven spots to No. 20 in the AP Poll after falling to West Virginia and Kansas State this past week. The Cyclones also sit at No. 11 in the USA Today Coaches poll (As of 1/14/14). This is the 21st-straight time Iowa State has been ranked in the AP or USA Today polls.
-Over the last four Big 12 contests, Hallie Christofferson is averaging 18.0 points, the senior is also a combined 33-of-63, shooting 50.0 percent from the field. She has also netted 24 of her 26 free throws in Big 12 play.
-Christofferson is one of just 15 student-athletes in the nation, and also one of just six among power five conferences, averaging 20 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.
-Christofferson currently ranks ninth in the Iowa State record books with 1,478 career points. The senior could move into eighth in Tuesday’s game against Oklahoma as she needs just 17 points to pass Cyclone great Stacy Frese who sits at 8th all-time with 1,494 points.
-Brynn Williamson has established herself as one of the league’s best defenders. Williamson held Texas Tech’s Amber Battle to single-digits (8) for just the second time this season. Williamson also held Oklahoma’s Aaryn Ellenberg, who was named to multiple early season watch lists, to a season-low 10 points.
-So far this season, Iowa State has been awarded a Big 12 best six Newcomer of the Week honors. Seanna Johnson and Jadda Buckley have each garnered three weekly honors for a total of six, tying the school record set in 1998 by Stacy Frese and Megan Taylor.
-Iowa State’s 11-0 non-conference record marks just the third time in school history the Cyclones posted a perfect non-conference schedule. Since the 2005-06 season, only nine Big 12 squads have posted undefeated non-conference slates.
-The Cyclones’ 14-game winning streak to kick off the season is the longest in school history and also sets the school record for a program-best start (14-0).

Last Time Out
-Iowa State dropped a heartbreaker to Kansas State in Manhattan, Kan. A slow first half would prove to be the Cyclones’ demise as ISU was 6-of-31 from the field at the end of the first half. The Cyclones placed four student-athletes in double-figures with Brynn Williamson leading Iowa State with 17 points and Kidd Blaskowsky chipping in 16, powered by four three-pointers.
-The loss drops Iowa State to 3-3 in Big 12 play and 14-3 overall.

Series vs. Oklahoma
-In the overall series, the Sooners hold the edge, leading the Cyclones 32-23. Iowa State has won the last five meetings, including one earlier this season in which the Cyclones handed OU an 82-75 overtime loss in Norman, Okla.
-Last season, the Cyclones went 3-0 against the Sooners, winning at home 82-61, on the road 72-68 and in the semis of the Big 12 Tournament 79-60.
-Under head coach Bill Fennelly, Iowa State is 13-8 in regular season meetings against OU. The Cyclones have also won the last three meeting in Hilton Coliseum and are 8-2 under coach Fennelly at home.

Tailback Hiawatha Rutland rushed for a career-high 122 yards on 20 carries with a score; QB Seneca Wallace threw for 234 yards, and the Iowa State defense held Kansas to 150 total yards in a 45-3 Cyclone victory over the Jayhawks. The 150 yards allowed by the ISU defense was the best Cyclone defensive performance against a conference foe since 1979.

Three interceptions led to Cyclone touchdowns and ISU's six rushing TDs were the most by an ISU offense against a league opponent since 1977. Iowa State led 3-0 when LB Jeremy Loyd picked off a Zach Dyer pass at the KU 27-yard line. Lane Danielsen scored on a 9-yard reverse four plays later. Rutland scored on a 7-yard run, while TB Michael Wagner scored on runs of one and six yards. Redshirt freshman Brian Thompson made his debut, rushing for 92 yards on 14 carries and two TDs, all in the fourth quarter.

Ellis Hobbs and Nick Linder each made their second career interceptions. LB Brandon Brown paced Iowa State with 11 tackles (seven solo) and one sack.

  • Thorobreds win streak at six as they rip three opponents

    The Harrison County Thorobreds ran over three opponents last week on the way to improving their season record to 9-6 as they have now won six straight games.  Wednesday night the Breds traveled to Maysville to face the Saints of Maysville St. Patrick.
    St. Patrick entered the game with a 3-7 record as they, like the Thorobreds, had missed several games due to the weather.
    The Saints jumped out to an early lead outscoring the Breds by five in the first period 20-15.

  • CPD fills two-year assistant vacancy

    After being vacant since November 2008, the assistant police chief’s position has been filled for Cynthiana.
    Former Carlisle Police Chief William “Bill” Denton began his career in Cynthiana last Wednesday following the official swearing in.
    Denton, 39, is a former U.S. Marine and a graduate of the Criminal Justice Academy in Richmond. He is also a former firefighter for Winchester, a position he held until five years ago when he became Carlisle’s police chief.

  • Southwood trial postponed

    A trial that was originally scheduled for the end of this month has been continued in Harrison Circuit Court.
    On Tuesday, attorneys for Sandra Southwood, 42, requested the Jan. 24 and 25 trial be postponed pending a psychiatric evaluation of their defendant.
    Southwood has been charged in the July 30, 2010, shooting spree at the Confederate Drive home of her ex-husband.
    A Harrison County grand jury indicted her on nine counts related to the shooting.

  • Dr. King march is well-attended

    A Berry man was arrested by Kentucky State Police for Fayette County Warrants has been linked to Harrison County trailer thefts.

  • Enjoy ‘Little House’ days before they morph into no-excuse work days

    I often wonder how times change without us ever realizing they have changed.
    For instance, how did I go from jumping up and down when it would snow outside to the dreaded get up and hour earlier to make it to work on time.
    I used to love the snow.
    I remember those days off from school when I was able to stay home and feed the cows with Papaw or Uncle Dennis.
    “Shoot some ether in her,” Papaw would say as he turned the key over on the old 2240 John Deere.

  • ATC’s automotive program gives students glimpse of career opportunities in hi-tech environment

    By Mark Sims, Guest Columnist
    Few things are as exciting to teenagers as their cars. Driving a car is one of the rites of passage still afforded American young people. The car also has always held a prominent place in the heart of our country, and we value our freedom of mobility almost as much as any of America’s values or privileges. Without trained, knowledgeable automotive mechanics, this wouldn’t be possible. Kentucky Tech – Harrison Area Center is working to ensure that we continue to have qualified mechanics to keep us running.

  • Judge OKs Webb attorney

    Accused murderer Bass Webb will be able to keep his defense attorney.
    Webb submitted a motion in Harrison Circuit Court last week questioning whether a conflict of interest existed between his attorney Tim Griffiths and the fact that Webb had previously been represented on another case by Griffiths’ wife.
    Judge Jay Delaney ruled that no conflict exists and the attorneys of record may continue to defend Webb in his upcoming murder trial.

    An unknown suspect was caught by Doug Thomas, a farm-hand for Burrier, allegedly trying to take four batteries from the property.

Unusual Facts
Here's just a few of the unusual facts I recall about Prudhoe Bay:

* Many Prudhoe Bay workers do not even live in Alaska. Some live as far away as Texas, and in fact one of my supervisors lived in Hawaii. They commute by air to and from Prudhoe Bay as often as once a week. (Needless to say, they have some serious frequent flyer miles.)

* All of the heated buildings in Prudhoe Bay must be constructed on concrete stilts. This is to prevent thawing out the permafrost, which would turn it into a bog and bring down the building.

* Because of the endless movement of heavy truck traffic, the gravel road system in Prudhoe is graded constantly...24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

* The sun does not set at all from mid-May through mid-July.

* The sun does not rise at all from mid-November through mid-January.

* The going rate for a North Slope drilling rig (in the late 1990's) was about $20,000/day.

* The Inupiaq Eskimos, indigenous people to the North Slope, use a base-20 numeral system, and have over 20 different words for 'snow' (depending on what kind of snow it is.)

* Vehicles are left running from September through May, 24 hours a day (the only exception is when they come into the shop.) Otherwise, they just wouldn't start again. This obviously consumes a lot of fuel, but Prudhoe Bay diverts a small amount of its production to a small on-site refinery, where diesel fuel is made. Vehicles do not come to the refinery to fill up, rather a pair of fuel trucks goes around the field and delivers it to all the vehicles, just like home heating oil delivery.

Base 20 numeric system traditionally used by the Inupiaq Eskimos.

* Wells can be drilled along a curve in addition to straight down. This means a well located on the beach might actually be accessing oil 3 or 4 miles out under the seabed.

* When the sea ice gets thick enough, ice roads are built to allow workers to drive tractor-trailer rigs on the surface of the ocean [ I've done it :-) ]

* If you need to throw any trash in the dumpster at the end of the day, you must first bump the dumpster with the front of your pickup truck. This ensures that you're inside the truck if there's a brown bear in the dumpster! (It happens more often than you'd think...)

I love this font and would like to purchase a commercial licence - however when I use it the 'y', 'j' and 'g' all look like they are cut off below the text line. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
