|1835 to 1853
|CHARLESTON, South Carolina
|African-Americans, Slavery
|"The United States: A Nation Divided, 1836-1876," Wheaton College
|No votes.
Men and women who owned slaves had to constantly emphasize their position of authority and dominance over the people they owned. Some did so through beatings, starvation, and atrocious treatment. Others did through simple words, such as order a slave to perform a task that the owner knew the slave particularly despised. Regardless of how, each slave's day was full of a constant reminder that they were nothing more than owned manual labor; without an immense stroke of luck, that was all they would ever be.
In Charleston, South Carolina, William Green was reminded of this fact every single day. From the earliest point of his life he was robbed of the good luck that would've made him a free man. He missed being freed by the will of his old mistress because he was born three months before she died; he was no longer to be freed when he was twenty-five because his new master traded him without mentioning that fact to his new owner, and so he became a slave for life.
Eventually, the humiliation and degredation became too much for him to take. Green was acutely aware that the only fact that he was not beaten by his new master was because he was the favorite slave of his master's wife. So instead of being whipped and degraded directly by his master, Green was sent to fetch a box from the jail. Now for Green, that was the last thing he could take. His master had ordered him to go fetch a package from the jail, which on the surface seems mundane. In actuality, as Green very well knew, his master was sending him to the jail to be whipped by the man who ran the jailhouse. So instead of willingly walk to his own beating and potential death, Green decided to flee to Massachusetts. After many months of struggling, he arrive in Springfield, where he lived the rest of his life as a free man.
As Hartman discusses in Scenes of Subjugation, "a slave must be subject to the master's will in all things," and Green wasn't. Whether it was because of the protection from his master's wife, or his acute sense of the injustice he was forced to be subjected to, Green was not an obedient slave. And because of that, his master saw himself as forced to send Green to be whipped at the jail, in an attempt to teach him respect and discipline. And while the master himself couldn't subjugate Green, because Green was still a piece of property, he could still order Green to go somewhere where he could be subjugated. Unfortunately for Green's owner, that line of thinking ended up backfiring.
Becuase of his early life and being robbed of his freedom by being traded, William Green was constantly painfully aware that his life and liberty had been injustly taken from him. This was a constant theme throughout his narrative, and the passion with which he writes about his early years in Charleston clearly show how much hatred he had trapped inside of him during that time. Becuase of these emotions, the tension eventually broke, and he couldn't take being subjugated as a piece of property any longer, so he fled to Massachusetts, where he lived as a free man until he died.

Not kidding at all. Under your premise then the boats should be making a donation, whether or not they actually go out. Why would it matter if there were actual divers? The boats only go out because divers decide to go on them. By diving oin that particular day, divers are showing their support of the chamber. Do I need more T-shirts, or to bid on some of the auction items? Probably not, but I do, and so do hundreds of other divers.
And $120 bucks for 2 dives is not cheaper than a regular dive day.

Economic considerations are driving TV networks to broaden their acceptance of advertising for alcohol products, the Los Angeles Times reported Feb. 13.
Local CBS affiliates in Los Angeles and 14 other cities aired ads for Absolut Vodka during the Grammy Awards broadcast earlier this month, the first time in years that hard-liquor ads have been aired on network television. Such ads have been shown on cable TV for about the last decade, but the volume has tripled between 2001 and 2007, experts say.
Ad buyer Kathy Doyle of Universal McCann said broadcast networks that would have rejected liquor ads a year ago are now giving them serious consideration. "The bottom's dropped out in the market, and they're looking for new sources of revenue," she said.
"We're looking at a different world than we were three years ago, relative to the economy," agreed Jim Burke, president of sales for Fox Television Stations, which owns a number of local Fox stations. "We're looking at a number of categories, trying to find ways to increase our revenue."
The NBA also has lifted a ban on courtside liquor ads at basketball games, and Google and Facebook also are allowing liquor ads on websites. Facebook allows alcohol ads on pages of users ages 21 and older, while Google allows ads on searches for alcohol-related keywords.
"When you have the evaporation of advertising revenue, you have to look for new and creative ways of getting sellers in the door," said Tim Winter, president of the Parents Television Council. "It's coming in the way of adult-themed products and content."

Greetings, Citizens of the Universe!
If you're reading this, then we've reached the point where nine years ago, I posted the self-introduction to the blogging world.
A lot has happened since then (which have all been covered in previous posts).
M3's previous anniversary was marred by two things: the YouTube Red Scare and the announcement of Sayashi Riho's graduation. That informed the rather somber post-Cake Day mood on the blog.
Compounding this was Fukuda Kanon's then-impending graduation, encapsuled by posts about fan tributes and her final single as an idol.
New faces came around to counteract the departures with two new Country Girls and a literal Moekko from Kumamoto (and I write this on the 6 month anniversary of the earthquakes…).
Thanksgiving was marked with a digest post (the result of burnout and busyness), a failed contest post dissecting my love for idols, and more news. 2015 was officially closed off with the obligatory review post.
2016 began with a review of the final single of Morning Musume '15, followed by news of the (first) 13th Gen auditions (how are those going by the way).
The next weeks were about Juice=Juice and their Budokan-bound fictional counterparts NEXT YOU. After that was a fortnight about Kobushi Factory's sophomore single, particularly Chotto Guchoku ni! Chototsumoushin and Osu! Kobushi Tamashii.
The next week was a strange one as it announced the tribute project to Suzuki Kanon, who had announced her graduation ten days before.
After that, the next few weeks were devoted to Country Girls' third single: Boogie Woogie LOVE / Koi wa Magnet / Ranrarun ~Anata ni Muchuu~.
Completing this sandwich is a post about Tamura Meimi's graduation and its associated tribute project.
After that came the review for Sakura Night Fever and a review of Anataboshi for a rather macabre reason….
After returning to the blog in a haze, posting returned by boosting Kumamoto recovery efforts (of which there's still a lot to do!), various fan projects for Zukki and Meimei (which were all successes), and the hiatus news of Inaba Manaka. (No, I'm not going to play the whole "they were delaying the inevitable. Manaka is the new Kanna" schtick. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. Yes, I know there's some degree of fakeness in the idol industry, but I'll save that rant for another post.) Reviews came in the form of C-ute, ANGERME, and Morning Musume '16. Ending it was a post about Kenshuusei Test winners and M3's tribute to Zukki and Meimei.
All through June, I had drafted a post in response to Mayu Tomita's stabbing. Due the publishing schedule (which I put in place to alleviate burnout), I stopped once June 20 came around and it was the first post to be published in the next quarter.
After that came my response to Kasahara Momona's promotion to Crying Angel. The week after that came Kobushi Factory's third single. Unfortunately, it was posted at the same time as a sorrowful bit of news came out: Inaba Manaka's impromptu graduation. Compounding this was news of more departures, this time from the Kenshuusei.
Fortunately, next week came out with more positivity as the Ice Fairy Festival was announced on the blog. Sadly, this euphoria was not to last as two J-pop legends announced their disbandment within days: SMAP and C-ute. The mood was hopefully lightened by the 2016 Ice Fairy Festival, the linchpin post of which also acting as the debut of first part of the Powerpuff Musume '16 series. The quarter then ended with the Camellias with a spotlight on their MVs and their new members.
Tune in this Friday for a follow-up post!
Until next time!
— Magi-Kat

A biker was caught on the road weeks after being banned for drug driving.
Mark Colin Parkinson, 20, was given a 15 month disqualification by magistrates in Macclesfield on June 28 after he was caught driving with cannabis in his system.
But less the four weeks later on July 25 Parkinson was spotted by police on a Honda CBR motorbike.
At Macclesfield magistrates' court Parkinson, of Belgrave Road, Macclesfield, admitted driving while disqualified and without insurance.
He was ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work and was banned from driving for 20 months.
Marie Hayden, prosecuting, said: "At 6.10pm PC Keenan received a tip off that there was a disqualified driver on the road. He followed the defendant onto Belgrave Road. He then saw the defendant try to gain entry in the property but was detained.
"He told officers during interview that he rode to get his keys from work and promised not to do it again. He said he would have been locked out from his house. He then said to the officer 'please don't take my bike'. It was also discovered that he hadn't told his insurance company about the ban."

"[I]nnovation is the only hope for the American solar manufacturing industry . . . . New solar technologies have recently made astounding strides in the laboratory. A front-runner, a material known as perovskite, could be printed in dirt-cheap rolls and achieve far higher efficiency than today's solar panels."He can't have it both ways. He can't lament the tariffs' hit to "short-term cash flow"—mostly to sales firms and installers, with a bit to American firms with foreign manufacturing—and at the same time ignore the opportunity that the tariffs provide for investors in American solar R & D now. Yet the tariffs provide only an opportunity. It's now up to American investors (or foreign investors in America) to step up to the plate. Perhaps the USTR could keep an eye on industry investment and phase the tariffs out more quickly if investment is not forthcoming.
President Trump's State of the Union SpeechLet's give the Devil his due. Donald Trump managed to contain his inner demons long enough to deliver a lengthy speech prepared by skilled writers. As PBS' new White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor observed, he kept his ad libs to a minimum. Trump's diction was good, his delivery workmanlike. The man can read and perform. Like all such speeches, Trump's was a group effort with clear partisan political aims. His was well crafted. It showed how much more effective Trump could be as a leader if he just stuck to the script in public, resolved disputes in private, and stuck to backroom deals once made. All in all, it was not a bad speech. It tried to compensate with unity for a year of over-the-top divisiveness. It had some concrete proposals, although few specifics about them. Its tone was positive, not negative. It didn't insult anybody, not even Kim Jong Un. And it tried to repair the President's well-deserved reputation as a racist with "optics," namely, a series of human props including many who were black or Hispanic. Those props themselves told a story that no pundit seemed to notice. The much-vaunted "State of the Union" speech is undergoing an historic transition. It's morphing from a chief executive's honest summary of past successes and plan of action to a bit of show business. And who better to accelerate that transition than "reality" show master Donald Trump? David Brooks had the facts at his fingertips. There were more human props in this speech, he said, than in any State of the Union Speech since Ronald Regan introduced human props in 1982. The human props' stories were dramatic and moving. Most had tears in their eyes as they stood for extended applause. But virtually all their stories had a single unstated message: we are a nation under siege. From natural disasters, through our forever wars, to the opioid epidemic and the depredations of immigrant gangs, we need to circle our wagons. The unstated subtext was masterfully subtle: "We need a strong man to lead us, and here I am." Trump even lead the frequent applause as Soviet leaders used to do, his loud claps amplified through his open mike. The President reinforced his authoritarian subtext by emphasizing, again and again, in how many ways he had begun to erase Obama's legacy. He pointed at lowering taxes, exalting fossil fuels, repealing the "Obamacare'" individual mandate, adopting a policy of ambiguity and perseverance in war and diplomacy, and imposing vast restrictions on immigration. The subliminal message again was loud and clear: "I alone have put America back on the track to greatness." The speech also blew some dog whistles for Trump's base. It impliedly disapproved the kneel-during-anthem protests and called repeal of the Obamacare's individual mandate a step toward "choice." Although short on detail, the specific policy proposals were apt and potentially enticing. They included: (1) $1.5 trillion for an infrastructure program, leveraged with state, local and ("where appropriate") private money, (2) a paid family leave program, (3) vocational education, and, of course (4) a grand bargain on immigration—citizenship for 1.5 million dreamers in twelve years, in exchange for the Wall, restricting family immigration to spouses and children, and eliminating the lottery. All in all, the speech had an overwhelming message for Democrats and progressives: never underestimate your enemy. Donald Trump may be a political ingenue without perceptible skill, whose intemperate personality is self-defeating more often than not. But the Republican Party is anything but. It's a permanent minority party whose minority is getting more permanent by the day. Yet it has managed to capture all three branches of our government, and its propaganda apparatus, including Fox, is the most effective in human history. To use a term from the Trump-bumped stock market, the GOP has "outperformed." Trump's first State of the Union speech, which was self-evidently a Party product, was just one example. The Dems' body language told the story. Throughout most of the speech, they sat mute, stony faced, some even bent over in obvious dejection. They applauded rarely, just for obviously obligatory tributes to the hero-props and our military and first responders. Only Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), ever the courtly and flexible legislator, stood and applauded ideas that Dems could readily support. A few others followed his example. If you had looked only at the "optics," you would have seen a closely divided Congress, with one side triumphant and celebratory and the other beaten and dejected. It was not a sight to light up a progressive's eyes. Joe Kennedy's Response In his official response, Congressman Joe Kennedy (D. Mass.) took a big gamble. Far more than Trump's speech, his was virtually all emotion. From our Pilgrims to the present day, he extolled the virtues of immigrants, the value of diversity and equality, and the long and fruitful struggle to achieve them, which is far from won. Kennedy's response had no memorable reference to policy. It was almost entirely an appeal to identity politics. It seemed directed entirely to the Dems' "base," including his immediate audience. In stark contrast to the sea of grey hair in the Capitol, Kennedy's audience seemed even younger than he is at 37. Unlike Trump's speech, Kennedy's seemed not directed at broadening the "base." It was well written and well delivered, apart from Kennedy's apparent nearness to tears on several occasions. But compared to Trump's triumphant and "leaderly" tone, reinforced by relegating divisiveness to dog whistles, Kennedy's fell short. In comparison, and despite its occasional poetry, it came off as the whining of disempowered youth. In the best case, Kennedy's speech will serve its purpose of energizing the Dems' base and will be utterly forgotten by November. In the worst case, if Dems' campaign this way all year, they will either lose the midterms or win far less decisively than they ought to. Hate Trump and his backers they may. But they cannot win on tribalism and whining. They must ally with minorities of all kinds, but they must do it quietly, below the radar of everyone, including the mainstream media. (This is what Barack Obama and Eric Holder are now doing so well.) They must eschew the words "socialism," "left," "left wing" and even "progressive" as if they were the political equivalent of Trump's "shit-holes." Instead, the Dems must promote specific, concrete proposals for action, such as Medicare for All. They must describe them with neutral, comprehensible (not tribal!) words that any voter can understand. And they must explain, in words of one syllable, why and how those proposals will make the average voter and family better off. In short, they must act like the political professionals who drafted Trump's State of the Union speech and so advanced his and the GOP's agenda. Trump may be anything but a professional pol, but the people now backing him are. Politics is a profession, one which takes years to master, despite the rush to declare Oprah Winfrey president. If nothing else, Trump's State of the Union Speech reminded us all of that lost truth.

I am very interested in the production of film and TV, and I have had a passion for filming, editing and production from a young age. My main interests focus on camerawork and video editing, I am searching for a role where I can learn and develop my skills. I have been making my own projects for many years, some can be found on my YouTube channel.
I love being by the beach; I grew up here and have amazing friends in the area.
I'm really interested to see how the filming of the event comes together on the day; I've never been a part of a team before and this is a great one to start with.

Top Ten Books I'd Recommend To X Person (your choice — could be to your mom, to a reluctant male reader, to your teenage sister, to dog lover's, to sports lovers, etc.) on The Broke and the Bookish
1a. For those who love a clean book: "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" by Alan Bradly (Such a cozy setting with lovable characters!)
1b: For those who like it dirty: "Captive in the dark" by C.J. Roberts (Sexy and dark.)
2a: For those who like a calm, moody story: "Mathilde und der Duft der Bücher"by Anne Delaflotte (Mathilde and the scent of books, calm french story that portrays the mood of a small town.)
2b: For those who love action packed stories: "Der Augensammler" by Sebastian Fitzek (German author Sebastian Fitzek is a master of producing pageturners. This one was the first I read by him. )
3a: For those who need a happy end: "The Raven Prince" by Elizabeth Hoyt. I picked a book that is obvious to end happily by the genre alone
3b: For those who like to be left with their heart crushed: There are quite a few I would like to mention, but those would be huge spoilers in most cases, so I picked one with an unhappy end that is known as a given: "The diary of Anne Frank" by Anne Frank. It is so full of character and life and yet so damn moving.
4a: For those who want a laugh: "In a Sunburned Country" by Bill Bryson
4b: For those who want a cry: "The Fault in our stars" by John Green
5a: For those who like their books set in the real world: "Ten" by Andrej Longo. Ten short stories set in Mafia driven Naples.
5b: For those who prefer a fantasy or absurd setting: "The third Policeman" by Flann O'Brien– Deliciously absurd!
6a: For those who like it bloody: "Shadow man" by Cody MyFadyen. First installment in the Smoky Barrett series. Quite bloody.
6b: For those who like it cosy: "Wicked Intentions" again by Elizabeth Hoyt. It starts with a murder too, but nothing nightmare inducing. To me this is a "feel good book".
7a: For those who love a sprint: "The Witch of Duva" by Leigh Bardugo. (Short story losely connected to the Grisha series, but can be read out of context.)
7b: For those who love a marathon: "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy (Long, but worth every description of the old colourful Russia.)
8a: For those who like a straightforward story:"Perfect Chemistry" by Simone Elkeles. There are no real surprises. When starting the story you know certain things will happen, but it is fun anyway.
8b: For those who like a layered, complex story: "A visit from the Goon Squad" by Jennifer Egan. Short Stories all involving a set of people in the music business, jumping forth and back in time. You read a story and think you know the people, then read another story set ten years earlier and you realize they once have been totally different until an event threw them over.
9a: For those who need a lotta love in their books: "Hopeless" by Colleen Hoover. A strong love story with a lot of dramatic "side stuff".
9b: For those who find book love icky:"Murder on the orient Express" by Agatha Christie. You might catch a kissing couple at the station in this one but the crime story is in the focus and it surely never gets lovey-dovey-
10a: For those who love a character driven story: "South of the border, West of the Sun" by Haruki Murakami.
10b: For those who like a plot driven story: Another Fitzek: "Der Seelenbrecher" (The soul breaker) by Sebastian Fitzek. Fast paced pageturner.

|Oxford Saints
|Cornish Sharks
Game statistics in PDF available here Oxford Saints VS Cornish Sharks 17 May
On Sunday 17th May, the Oxford Saints hosted the Cornish Sharks and defeated their old rivals 43-24!
Going into this contest both teams were coming off defeats. The Saints suffered a beating from the Swindon Storm on 3rd May, whilst the Sharks hosted the Bristol Apache on 9th May and went down 30-10.
With a week of practice to fix the mistakes, the Saints bounced back when they hosted the Sharks at Abingdon Rugby Club.
Guest of honour at the game was 10 year old Billy Taylor. The team were thrilled by Billy's passion for the sport when he sent a letter to us about how much he wants to play the game. He was invited to go onto the field with the team captains before kick-off and perform the coin toss. Wanting to be a wide receiver when he is older, the team presented him with a Oxford Saints t-shirt with the number 81, for veteran Saints receiver Sam Armstrong.
The Game Begins
In front of a large Oxford home crowd, the Sharks received the kick-off and had a difficult start. The Saints defense were a dominant force from the beginning of the game and featured 5 rookies with starting spots on the unit. These new players fitted in well and immediately pressured the Sharks' offense. Rookie Connor Day started at the challenging middle linebacker position and had a big game, racking up 5 tackles.
After struggling to move the ball, Cornwall had no choice but to punt it away on 4th down. A bad snap meant the ball flew over the punters head and rolled into the endzone. As the Sharks' punter ran to try and recover the loose ball, he was quickly chased down by Saints defenders and tackled in his own endzone, resulting in a 2 point safety score for Oxford.
First year quarterback Ben Denton led the Saints offense onto the field and went to work. On only the 2nd play of the drive, Denton looked to throw the ball deep downfield and spotted veteran wide receiver Sam Armstrong near the endzone.
The ball was on target as it sailed through the air until Sharks' defender Alex Bonner jumped up to attempt the interception. Bonner got the ball in his hands but Armstrong was in the air right behind him and managed to wrestle control out of Bonner's hands before they both hit the ground. A stunning play by Denton and Armstrong resulted in a Saints touchdown.
Spencer Duffy attempted the extra point kick but it went wide to the right, 8-0 Oxford.
The Sharks' offense came back onto the field looking but still faced tough opposition from the Oxford defense. A 5 play drive gained them 21 yards but they were forced to punt the ball away again on 4th down.
The Saints were driving well up the field on their next possession with hard running from Kev Brooks and Mike Oluwole. Oxford picked up 43 yards in 4 plays and were close to the Sharks' endzone. A fumbled ball on the 27 yard line was recovered by the Sharks' defense who took possession.
Cornwall used the momentum swing to assemble their first strong drive of the game. The Sharks began moving the ball well with their runningbacks finding space to pick up first downs. On the 6th play of the drive, the visiting quarterback Perran Andrews found receiver Joseph Wolfenden-Brown and completed the pass. The receiver charged 50 yards down the field and into the endzone for a Sharks' touchdown. The extra point kick was good, 8-7 Oxford.
The Saints offense took over and continued to pick up big gains and move down the field. Reinforced by returning veteran Ian Harry at fullback, the offense was firing on all cylinders.
Runningback James Walter was consistent as always and remained a problem that the Sharks were struggling to contain. After moving into Sharks' territory, Ben Denton fired another deep pass towards Sam Armstrong and although tightly covered by a defender, Armstrong managed to reel in another spectacular catch for his 2nd touchdown of the day. Duffy successfully kicked the extra point, 15-7 Oxford.
2nd Quarter
In the 2nd quarter, Cornwall's offense were making progress and a long 10 play drive took them 50 yards down the field. With strong defense by Oxford, the Sharks struggled to get another first down and decided to kick a field goal which was good. The extra 3 points narrowed the scoreline to 15-10 Oxford.
A Sharks' punt put the Saints deep in their own half and the offense began on just the 12 yard line. A tough display by the Cornish defense prevented the Saints from gaining much needed comfort space and the offense turned over the ball after failing to achieve a first down.
With a short field, this set up the opportunity for the guests to take the lead. After 5 plays, Sharks' runningback Shaun Griffin charged into the endzone for the score. The extra point kick by David Kriehn was good and the lead changed over, 17-15 Cornwall.
3rd Quarter
Being down at half time is starting to become a trend for Oxford, who are developing a habit of staging much improved 2nd half performances. This game was no different, with a 2nd half which was mostly non-stop Saints.
Shark's quarterback George Evans took over from Perran Andrews.
A long drive by Oxford was plagued by numerous penalty flags against both teams, but hard running from Kev Brooks, Mike Oluwole and Ryan Kingshott contributed to a 88 yard drive across the field. Ryan Kingshott smashed into the endzone for the score.
After initial celebrations, the sideline fell silent when it was feared that Kingshott had suffered a significant injury in the process and was unable to move from the floor. After being attended to by the Saints medical staff, Kingshott was able to stand up and leave the field, to applause by both teams and spectators.
Oxford attempted the 2 point conversion and Ben Denton dropped back as he looked to pass the ball. Good protection from his offensive line allowed Denton time to hit tight-end Rich Bloomer for a leaping grab. The 2 point conversion was good and the home team had taken the lead once again, 23-17 Oxford.
On the following kickoff, Spencer Duffy sent the ball deep to the Sharks who pulled off an impressive return. Their kick-returner Richard Howlett found room up the sidelines and travelled the length of the field into the endzone for the score. David Kriehn kicked the extra point and the Sharks inched forward, 24-23 Cornwall.
Ben Denton and the Saints offense went to work and quickly restored the lead for the team. James Walter continued to haunt the Sharks' defense with his powerful running and picked up several first downs on a long drive for Oxford. Completed passes to Rich Bloomer and a 18 yard reception by Sam Armstrong brought the Saints within range of the Sharks' endzone. Denton handed the ball off to Walter who charged up the middle for the score. The Saints went for the two point conversion again and Walter ran the ball in himself to add another 2 points. 31-24 Oxford.
4th Quarter
Beginning the 4th quarter, the Saints defense led by captain and veteran linebacker Dean Bryan continued to express their authority on the game. Throughout the contest, Bryan himself had one of his best games and tallied up 14 tackles. As the Sharks looked to claw back the lead, on the 2nd play of their drive quarterback George Evans was sacked by defensive end George Wright, losing the Sharks 6 yards.
On Oxford's next possession, James Walter remained on form and broke out a huge 74 yard touchdown run, scoring for the 2nd time of the day. The 2 point conversion attempt was no good, 37-24 Oxford.
The Sharks continued running the ball and and a 9 play drive saw them picking up only 23 yards, struggling against the tough Saints defense. Linebacker Dean Bryan continued to marshal the defense well and fellow linebacker Calvin Holmes landed a big sack on George Evans for a 12 yard loss. The Sharks attempted to convert on 4th down but were unable to gain the yards they needed and possession of the ball reverted back to Oxford.
With good running by Kev Brooks and a stunning 30 yard reception by 2nd year receiver Leroy Holmes, the Saints were knocking on the door once again and poised to score. A huge sack on quarterback Ben Denton set the Saints offense back 10 yards and two incomplete passes resulted in a turnover on downs.
On the 14 yard line with their own endzone right behind them, the Sharks desperately needed to move the ball down field and give themselves breathing room. On the first play of their drive, a fumbled ball hit the ground and Oxford linebacker Luke Fry dived on it to reclaim possession.
This gave the Saints excellent field position and Denton handed the ball to Kev Brooks who looked certain to score. Being tackled just short of the endzone, the ball was shook loose and rolled into the endzone. As a live ball, it could be recovered by either team but it was Saints lineman Stuart Cribbes, a veteran of 20 years, who charged over and dived on the ball to score the first touchdown of his career. The 2 point conversion attempt failed, 43-24 Oxford.
With victory all but certain, the Saints continued to place pressure on the Sharks. The visitors had struggled to make any significant gains throughout the 4th quarter and with time running out, rookie defensive lineman Graham Henley landed another sack on George Evans who had suffered his 3rd sack of the day, this time for an 11 yard loss.
At the end of the contest the Saints claimed a 43-24 victory and move to 3-1 on the 2015 season. When reviewing the statistics for the game it is clear that it was Oxford's continued ability to run the ball hard and fast which contributed to the win, combined with a determined and experienced defensive unit.
The Saints claimed 434 yards in total whereas the Sharks notched up only 170.
James Walter had 15 carries for 147 yards and 2 touchdowns. Kev Brooks had 14 carries for 112 yards. Sam Armstrong led the receivers with 3 receptions for 72 yards and 2 touchdowns.
In the air, quarterback Ben Denton attempting 11 passes and completed 7 for 130 yards, 2 touchdowns and one 1 interception.
Following the game, Ben Denton said:
"It feels great to get back on track after the defeat to Swindon. The whole team put in a great shift, but the Wide Receivers really stepped it up a notch this week. Sam's first grab turned a certain interception into a touchdown, so I'm very grateful!"
Dean Bryan led proceedings with 14 tackles (8 solo and 6 assists), followed by Martin Fitzpatrick with 5 tackles (2 solo and 3 assists) and Connor Day with 5 tackles also (2 solo and 3 assists).
Sacks came from George Wright, Calvin Holmes and Graham Henley.
Offensive MVP: Sam Armstrong
Defensive MVP: Dean Bryan
Special Teams MVP: Spencer Duffy
Team MVP: Whole team for a dominating 2nd half performance
Game statistics in PDF available here Oxford Saints VS Cornish Sharks 17 May
Offensive MVP Sam Armstrong said:
"Following on from the Swindon game I felt the team needed to step up and show what we can do, which I felt we did in abundance. Getting a few TDs under your belt is always a confidence booster, and I'm hoping myself and the team can carry this momentum through to the next game."
On Sunday 24th May the Oxford Saints travel to Torbay to take on the Trojans.

For anyone considering filing for bankruptcy, the entire process can seem overwhelming. While there are some important things to note, much of what you are wondering can be answered in a few short sentences.
Why do I need credit counseling? — The credit counseling requirement is to ensure that all debtors be put in touch with all of their debt relief options and learn some valuable tools in the debtors education courses.
What happens to my spouse? — It depends on whether you file together or separate. If you have mostly joint debts, it could be beneficial to file together to prevent your spouse from being held solely liable for the debts. If your debts are mostly individually owned by you, filing separate could better protect your spouse. Your Cincinnati bankruptcy attorney can help you determine the best plan for you and your spouse.
What property will be at risk? — Bankruptcy exemption laws offer a wide range of protection for most of your essential and necessary property. Personal property, tools of the trade, living requirements, and much of your fund accounts are exempt from liquidation. Typically, it is the unnecessary and frivolous items that are liquidated for debt satisfaction.
Will my credit be ruined?— The damage done to your credit happens long before filing for bankruptcy. High debt balances and missed payments is what damages your credit, not the actual mark of a bankruptcy filing. In fact, you are likely to see an improvement in your credit when your balances are erased and accounts returned to satisfactory after your debt discharge.
What about future loans?— Your chances at getting credit in the future aren't ruined after a bankruptcy. There are actually many lenders that offer lines of credit to post-bankruptcy consumers. It is important to take the time to rebuild your credit and plan your next line of credit to avoid getting into financial trouble.

Women's sports have never been more popular — everywhere except on television, that is. Both the quality and quantity of women's sports coverage is far eclipsed by that of men's sports and in some respects has actually worsened over time, according to the latest iteration of a 25-year longitudinal study of gender in televised sports news and highlights shows.
SportsCenter, ESPN's flagship program, dedicated just 2 percent of its airtime to women's sports in 2014, according to the report — a figure that has remained flat since 1999. In addition to SportsCenter, researchers examined the sports news and highlights on three local Los Angeles network affiliates and the results were just as dismal: Just 3.2 percent of airtime went to women's sports, down from 1999 and 2004 levels but a slight improvement over 2009's 1.6 percent.
"I'm surprised that I was surprised," Cheryl Cooky, associate professor of women's, gender, and sexuality studies at Purdue University and study co-author, said of the results. "This is a persisting trend. It's just somewhat disappointing given the tremendous growth and participation in women's sports over the last 25 years in particular. That excitement is not being captured by the media."
While women's sports received paltry attention in the time period observed by Cooky and her co-authors, coverage of the "big three" men's sports — football, basketball, and baseball — increased from 68 percent in 2009 to 74.5 percent in 2014. That imbalance remained even in the offseason. When women's sports were featured, the vast majority of the time, 81.6 percent, went to basketball.
While sports journalists might believe their responsibility is not to build audiences but to give the current audience what it wants to see, "that is in one sense a false logic because the interest is there … [and] that particular logic lets sports media off the hook," Cooky said. "Displacement of blame onto the audience or consumer removes any sort of accountability on their part — they don't have to change the conventional ways of sports media."
That interest is demonstrated plainly in the widespread enthusiasm for the Women's World Cup, which began last weekend. Monday's USA-Australia match attracted 3.311 million viewers, making it the most-watched Women's World Cup group stage match and the largest audience ever for a soccer match on FoxSports1. What's more, viewership will only increase as the tournament goes on and this year's Women's World Cup is already on pace to achieve better growth than both the 2014 and 2010 men's World Cups.
Fox is dedicating significant airtime to broadcasting all 52 matches but Cooky pointed out that, while their study doesn't account for spikes in coverage of women's sports during big events like the Women's World Cup and the Olympics, "those moments are exceptions to the rule — a lot of activity in a short time span — and once those events are over, it's as if the news media has some sort of amnesia."
In addition to the quantity of women's sports segments on television, the researchers also examined the manner in which women's sports are regarded and how that treatment has changed over the course of the study.
The authors cite SportsCenter as being particularly adept at covering men's sports in a way that engages and builds an audience — a sense of excitement, high production values, colorful commentary, engaging stories. Women's sports, on the other hand, were covered in a much more matter-of-fact manner.
The researchers also noted a sense of ambivalence in several segments, with interviews frequently meandering from the woman as a high-class athlete to her role as a mother. While this is certainly an improvement from the overt sexism observed in previous iterations of the study, where women were regarded as sex objects or jokes, "such framings of high-profile, successful women athletes, when juxtaposed with the fact that such issues are rarely, if ever, brought into stories about men athletes, reveal a gender asymmetry that subtly communicates ambivalence about women athletes," the authors noted.
ESPN defended its commitment to women's sports in an emailed statement. "We provide the most coverage of women's sports and women's issues related to sports. We are proud of our commitment to women behind the scenes and in our content, and are always striving to serve the fans and evolve," a spokesperson for the network said. "Additionally, we feature more than 7,500 hours of women's sports programming annually. In 2010, that number was 1,500. It now includes live events on all our networks including ESPN3 and SEC Network."
While the study points to areas of improvement — bolstered coverage of the women's NCAA tournament, more live, broadcast coverage of women's sports — the disparity between the dramatic rise in participation in girls' and women's sports and lagging coverage on network television and shows like SportsCenter speaks to " the unevenness of social change," Cooky said. "How in some realms women are making tremendous strides in the sports world, like live broadcast coverage, while in others — for example, sports news media coverage, there [are] still dramatic inequalities between men's and women's sports."
In order to correct that imbalance, the focus needs to not only be on bringing more women into sports journalism (over 95 percent of the news and highlights shows analyzed by the study had male anchors and co-anchors) but also pushing the existing sports media to invest in covering women's sports with the same regard as men's, according to Cooky.
In the highly gendered world of sports that's no small task, but the implications of such shifts are significant. Unequal treatment of men's and women's sports perpetuates the notion that playing and watching sports is inherently masculine, when in reality, "there's great diversity and complexity in what men and women enjoy," Cooky said. The current treatment of women's sports on television means "you end up marginalizing women sports fans and, I would argue, men sports fans, too."

As a kid, growing up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Carl Lucero hiked, fished, camped and skied with his family in the Santa Fe National Forest. At an early age he found he had a knack for fixing things and solving problems that he saw around him. Now he is the director of Landscape Restoration and Ecosystem Services Research for the U.S. Forest Service's Research and Development program (R&D).
What led you to the Forest Service?
I didn't start out working for the Forest Service, but I've always enjoyed the outdoors and helping people. Working as an environmental engineer at USDA gave me the opportunity to tie these two passions together. As I honed my skills, I found my niche for taking good ideas and turning them into actions on the ground. As my skillset grew, new opportunities emerged in ecosystem services and environmental markets that lead me to the Forest Service.
What do you do in the Forest Service and what is your favorite part of your job?
As a director in R&D, I have the distinct honor of leading a team of high-performing national program leads who provide guidance to the many natural resource research scientists in the Forest Service. I also provide strategic direction for our national research program, but more importantly, I get to interact with the scientists and help find ways to realize the value of their work. For example, I was instrumental in taking our breakthrough environmental DNA research and creating a national genomic center, with eDNA as our cornerstone.
Who or what inspired you growing up?
Growing up I had the opportunity to play many team sports, and that experience taught me the importance of teamwork, leadership, and the value of working together to accomplish a common goal. I come from a large family with three brothers and three sisters who are all very competitive, and we pushed each other to be the best we could be.
My parents were my biggest inspiration. My dad was the director of Catholic Charities, where he provided counseling and guidance to families in the community. He instilled in me the importance of family. He is an eternal optimist who always found the positive in every event. He was humble when things went well and hopeful when things didn't. He taught me that winning isn't permanent; losing isn't fatal; and you are never a failure until you quit trying.
My mom was a Spanish teacher who taught me the value of education and the power of persistence. In first grade she was held back because she didn't speak fluent English. Despite that minor setback, she went on to receive a PhD degree in bilingual education. And at age 86, she took the gold in Women's Ping Pong in the Senior Olympics. She is such a loving yet reserved person. Growing up I felt she was my biggest fan. My mom somehow always found time for me even though I had six other siblings competing for her attention.
What do you like to do for fun on your free time?
During my free time I like to hang out with my best friend, my wife Derna. We shop, watch movies, and enjoy the wildlife that live around us. We live in a rural part of Maryland surrounded by trees and a small stream, and we have created a refuge for birds and other wildlife that we enjoy maintaining.
What is your highest personal and professional achievement?
My highest personal achievement is finding and convincing Derna to marry me 32 years ago. She continues to amaze me with her natural charm and compassion for people – a skill she's been teaching me. I'm also proud of my two wonderful kids who have grown up to be incredible adults and my two beautiful grandkids.
My greatest professional achievement was serving on an interagency team tasked with developing a national strategy for environmental markets. These efforts led to new language in the Farm Bill and the creation of the USDA's Office of Environmental Markets, which I had the pleasure of leading prior to coming to the Forest Service.
How would you like the public to perceive the work we do at the Forest Service?
I would like the public to recognize how we make their lives better and to see the tremendous value of the Forest Service. I want them to understand the importance of our work with the natural environment. And, I want them to appreciate what we do and know that it doesn't just happen.
What are your future career goals?
My future career goals are to add more breadth to the research program by continually searching for solutions to emerging challenges. I want to grow new leaders who have the same level of passion for the natural resources as I have, and I want to walk away knowing I contributed to making this place a little better.
What are your future career goals?
Do you have any advice for someone wanting to serve their country as a Forest Service employee?
My advice is to look at every challenge as an opportunity. Believe in yourself and don't be afraid to take chances. And, go on as many details as you can, even to other agencies. The Forest Service is a great organization to grow as a person, to experience different parts of the world, and to meet incredible folks working to make our world a better place.

Only sports bra I ever use now is the shock absorber, coming in at a 36H it's the only one that really fits and I can't recommend this highly enough. No boob movement , no cleavage shots when doing burpees or mountain climbers. Excellent value
Fit Price Value Support
- 30G, running, hiking, yoga
Extremely pleased with the fit. Good for low impact activity.
Can be worn for longer hours comfortably without getting a neck/backache.
It comes in such great prints- thats a plus too!

- 30E and used for running, long distanace walking and exercise classes
I love the Multisport version of Shock Absorber and use it mainly for running, long distance walking and exercise classes. In my opinion the multisport version it is a better fit for running than the running version of the bra and has got me round off road marathons in comfort and many road races!
Fit Price Value Support
- Excellent multi sports bra with little to no movement
I'm a 30G as per the fitting instructions, but after advice via the excellent chat function, I ordered a 32FF. The fit is perfect. I was wearing a 34E but had to tighten the band and my boobs were spilling out of the sides. This is perfect. Everything stays in place for HIIT training, yoga and brisk walks. It's comfortable as the straps are padded (a must for big, heavy boobs) and I prefer the compression style.
I tried the Freya active moulded cups bras in the same size and they went back. The underwires were uncomfortable. It was probably the wrong size as the front of the bra was not flush against the breast bone and the moulded cups made my breasts spread out towards my armpits and made me look huge. There was also too much movement for jumping etc. For me, the Shock Absorber bras are better, even though it's a bit of a workout getting them on in the first place!
Fit Price Value Support
- Excellent support
Really good support, and as an FF cup I usually have to wear a secondary bra on top, but not with this bra. As with all double fastenings it can be a little fiddly to get into but the fit is great. I bought it at reduced price & so v good value.
Fit Price Value Support
- No side support
I'd heard these things were fiddly to get into, but I usually wear racer backs so thought I'd give it a go. It 's much more awkward than I imagined, and I also found the shoulder straps really difficult to adjust. Once in, I thought it fitted well and was comfortable, so I tried jumping up and down in front of the mirror. Not good - I was jiggling around all over the place just doing that, so no way was I going to trying anything more strenuous. My boobs are 38D and full, so need a lot of side support which this clearly doesn't provide. Think I'll stick to Anita.
Fit Price Value Support
- Best sports bra for big boobs
I love this bra. I have had at least 4 of them. I run, mountain bike, ski and do Pilates is it. Always comfortable and controls by boobs with no movement. I usually wear a 32F in normal bras, but as per the advice, I have to go up a back size and down a cup size for the shock absorber. I currently have two different sizes, 34E and 34F. The larger one is great for lower impact activities, but the smaller one is better if I'm going for a run.
Fit Price Value Support
- Good all rounder bra :)
I use this bra for exercise classes, its good support, especially in classes with lots of movement such as clubbercise. Its a bit snug but I would prefer that, if you were in-between back sizes I would definitely go up a back size. My only issue is that I struggle to fasten it. I can't reach the top fastener once I have it on, and if I put in on over my head, I struggle to fasten the lower one. I love the click fastener on the running bra much better.

- Appreciation
Shock Absorber sports bra gave myself in a good approach that it created self-confidence as well as courageous to wear it for gym activities. Love Shock Absorber sports bra which I consider a good for health as well as well-being state.

- Compliments and excellence
The black color sports bra is a perfect fit from Shock Absorber. I love wearing always for gym activities. Excellent product recommended for every woman.

One of the things that I did was to move the Firefox profile to another drive - unfortunately during this operation,i lost all data in the profile. Since about a week before I made a fresh system install(Win7 Professional x64), on this occasion i made copy of all browser data using FEBE. It is true that after reinstalling the system removed the data, but because since then drive which have not been used, I was able to recover it. Unfortunately, the data are probably damaged - FEBE indicates, for example, by restoring bookmarks but after the operation still does not. And here I need help: I remember your logins and passwords so there is no problem, I care only for recovering bookmarks. I have two files with copies created FEBE: .json and html, so I asked if they can somehow fix it, and if so, what program or possibly someone on this forum can do it?

Georgia Tech doesn't need additional motivation to beat Georgia this Saturday in Athens, but the Yellow Jackets have some if they want it.
It's possible that the Jackets, with an upset of the No. 5 Bulldogs, could be the first team picked in the ACC bowl lineup after Clemson's anticipated placement in the College Football Playoff.
The Camping World Bowl in Orlando, Fla., which has the first pick of ACC teams after those in either the College Football Playoff and New Year's Six bowl games, has Tech on its list of candidates. Florida Citrus Sports, which runs the Camping World Bowl, sent bowl scouts to the Jackets' past two games, against Miami and Virginia.
Tech is "absolutely" under consideration, Florida Citrus Sports spokesman Matt Repchak said. "If we've got reps on the road (at their game), we're talking about them on Monday morning."
Unless Pitt beats Clemson in the ACC championship game, it is not likely that the ACC will have a team besides Clemson in the CFP or a New Year's Six bowl, giving the Camping World Bowl the No. 2 selection.
Ending the season in the bowl previously known as the Champs Sports Bowl and the Russell Athletic Bowl would be a remarkable conclusion to a season that began 1-3 and a deserving reward for winning seven of its final eight regular-season games (including a win over Georgia). The Dec. 28 game pits representatives from the ACC and Big 12.
Tech could benefit from an ACC bowl picture that is particularly muddled this season. Barring an unforeseen loss to either South Carolina this weekend or Pittsburgh in the ACC title game December 1, Clemson is a lock to get into the CFP.
But after that, how the remainder of the league stacks up as far as bowl appeal is soupy and could well change again after this weekend's games.
Syracuse is 8-3, N.C. State is 7-3 and then there are five teams at 7-4 – Georgia Tech, Boston College, Pitt, Virginia and Duke.
"There's a lot of parity in the ACC this season, and it changes really week by week in terms of what we're looking at," said Trey Giglio, chairman of the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La.
Besides beating UGA and then earning a top-25 ranking (which would seem a strong possibility), the Jackets would also be served by neither Syracuse nor N.C. State getting to nine wins and also Pitt, Virginia and Duke not getting to eight. Tech also being able to demonstrate that it would come to Orlando in large numbers would also help. Tech has not played in Orlando since 2004, when the Jackets beat Syracuse in the Champs Sports Bowl.
"I think we're always interested in somebody that would be excited about coming," said Repchak, the Florida Citrus Sports spokesman.
Repchak said that bowl scouts make a point to visit with fans prior to games to gauge interest. Tech probably didn't help itself with an announced crowd of 37,543, the smallest home crowd in coach Paul Johnson's tenure.
If Tech loses, the Camping World Bowl's interest would drop off, particularly if Syracuse or N.C. State can get to nine wins and other teams get to eight.
The next options would be the ACC's four "tier one" bowls – the Belk, the Pinstripe, the Sun and either the Gator or Music City bowls – which pick in concert with each other and the ACC. Syracuse seems like a fit for the Pinstripe Bowl in New York. The Belk would seem a possibility for Tech as might the Sun, which hosted Tech in 2011 and 2012.
The Music City and Gator take turns picking a team from the ACC. Tech played at the Gator Bowl (then TaxSlayer) in 2016 and would likely not be a destination.
After those four bowls, the Military Bowl in Annapolis, Md., picks next, followed by the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La. Giglio from the Independence Bowl and Steve Beck, president and executive director of the Military Bowl, both indicated interest in Tech at 7-5. The Jackets have never been to the Military Bowl and were last in Shreveport in 2010. It seems unlikely that Tech would get past either of those two bowl games.
Johnson coached at Navy prior to coming to Tech and is held in high regard there. Beck said it would be "interesting to have Paul Johnson back up at Navy" for a bowl game.

The budget airline says customers are taking advantage of their generous nature
Ryanair says customers now use oversized hand luggage and have threatened to bring back their one-bag policy
When you think of Ryanair, what's the first thing that springs to mind?
The budget airline, which has a bit of a reputation for rubbing Brits up the wrong way in the past thanks to its cost-cutting measures, would probably say "niceness".
The company has complained that customers have been taking advantage of their generosity in recent years.
The business made changes to their hand luggage policy in 2013, relaxing the rules so that customers could bring two pieces of luggage on board with them, instead of one.
They are now allowed a cabin bag that is a maximum of 44 litres, plus a smaller bag that is no bigger than 14 litres.
Staff at the boarding gate also used to be much stricter about the size and weight of bags that came on board, regularly fining people £60- if they exceeded the restrictions.
But management reckons that since they have relaxed these rules, passengers have been using bags that far too big for the overhead storage in the plane, which causes delays to boarding.
Neil Sorahan, the airline's Chief Financial Officer, told The Independent: "We're becoming victims of our own niceness. People aren't playing by the rules.
"We're seeing very large bags coming on board, which is leading to delays at the gate, and indeed on board the aircraft."
The company has asked for customers to stop using body bags and start using wheelie bags again.
If they don't see a change soon, they've has threatened to review their hand luggage rules and implement a one-bag policy once again.

FIGHTIN' WORDS: Mayor Matt says Butch 'must be worried'
WITH the eye of the tiger and the footwork of a young Cassius Clay, Gladstone Region Mayor Matt Burnett is putting in last-minute touches for a charity bout against arch nemesis MP Glenn Butcher.
Getting training sessions at the local PCYC, Burnett said he was looking forward to the bout and to seeing if he could 'float like a butterfly and sting like a bee'.
"(Butcher) might have the height and reach advantage but I've got the determination and willpower to go the rounds," Burnett said.
"Obviously he must be worried about the fight because he's been training at parliament house with heaps of spare time, while here at council we have plenty of work to do."
PCYC branch manager Sergeant Dominic Richardson has been putting the pugilist Mayor through some sparing work.
He had some inside hot tips for any potential punters.
"Even though my heart and loyalty is with the GRC Mayor, my rationale is with Glenn for the win," Sgt Richardson said.
The charity bout will raise money for brain cancer survivors Bella Bates and Olivia Hancock. The event will take place at Daly's Gym, Moura Crescent, at 7pm this Saturday.
Entry is free with beer, burgers and spirits for sale.
There will also be tickets for raffles and an auction for a fully signed ladies Brisbane Broncos jersey and Queensland Women's State of Origin jersey.
Burnett said he was prepared to swallow his pride in the ring and maybe a drink or two afterwards for recovery.
"It's all for a good cause," he said.
"(It would) be great to get as many people as we can to the fight to support it."

NSW Health authorities say a man from Melbourne is 'likely' responsible for sparking a cluster of coronavirus cases linked to the Crossroads Hotel in south-west Sydney.
Breaking news
The Northern Territory Government has declared 30 council areas in metro and greater Sydney as coronavirus hotspots for the purpose of travel to the NT
The New South Wales State Emergency Service (SES) is bracing for more flash flooding in the state's west, after the weather bureau issued severe thunderstorm warnings.
Hail stones, flash flooding and strong winds are expected to hit near Milparinka and Broken Hill in the far west today and heavy rainfall is also forecast for the Riverina and south-western slopes.
The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting 40 to 60 millimetres for the already flooded Macquarie, Castlereagh, Bogan and Lachlan Valleys.
The SES says about 750 people have been evacuated from their homes around Wagga, Dubbo and Gundagai and residents of Wee Waa in the state's north have been told to prepared for possible evacuations.
So far the SES has received almost 1,600 calls for assistance and rescued 83 people from floodwaters.
Weather bureau spokeswoman Erin Pogmore says they are keeping an eye on the heavy rains forecast for this week.
"We are still expecting further rainfall over the next couple of days," she said.
"The bureau has predicted that there will be further rainfall moving across the state.
"In some areas it will be particularly heavy so there is still a risk of flash flooding.
"At the moment we are still watching river levels around the Wee Waa community, we're also keeping an eye on the other areas that are currently isolated and where people have been evacuated."
Flood death
The discovery of a body in floodwaters near Parkes yesterday has prompted a warning from the State Emergency Service for motorists to take extra care on the roads.
Police were called to Avondale Lane at Goonumbla following reports of an abandoned car yesterday afternoon.
Officers searched the area and found a body, thought to be a woman, about 500 metres from the vehicle.
Police say they do not believe the death is suspicious and the body has not been identified.
John Clarke from the SES says motorists should take care.
"Your car could stall and so you're stuck there and the force of the water could then force your car off the road," he said.
In separate incidents, a woman has been rescued from her car which became stuck in floodwaters between Coonamble and Walgett.
And a family of three, including a baby, has also been saved from a vehicle west of Geurie near Dubbo, after becoming stranded at nine o'clock last night.
