Roy Williams and B.J. Johnson didn't score a touchdown in their careers against Oklahoma. Cedric Benson scored one. Oh, and the three of them never experienced a win over Oklahoma. Their era at UT defined the futility of playing the OU game not to lose.
I mention this unhappy factoid to illustrate that swing passes to running backs five yards behind the line of scrimmage—a staple against Kansas State—won't cut it this week. Sam Ehlinger will have to challenge Oklahoma's biggest vulnerability which is its secondary. The idea that Texas can play keep away from the high-scoring Oklahoma offense by grinding it out on the ground is a flawed strategy. Ehlinger will have to risk interceptions by throwing the ball down field including throws over the middle. Herman and the Horns can't back into a win in this game.
I don't mean to suggest the Ehlinger needs to throw it 50 times Saturday. Another risk—in Tom Herman's mind—is trusting a freshman to play a major role on offense. Herman must take this risk giving the ball to a freshman, the Horns best running back Keaontay Ingram, at least 20 times. Incidentally, the aforementioned Cedric Benson barely stepped foot on the field his freshman year in the 2001 OU game and didn't get a single carry. Texas lost 14-3. The next week against Oklahoma State, Benson rushed for 136 yards on 31 carries. In the six regular season games after the OU game Benson rushed for 818 yards total on 166 carries. Give the ball to your talented freshman Tom.
Lincoln Riley and Kyler Murray
Lincoln Riley is among the elite offensive minds college or pro. Tom Herman and Tim Beck not so much. Heck, Texas doesn't even have a designated play caller, or anybody who's willing to cop to it.
I think Sam Ehlinger is a pretty good quarterback who seems to be getting better. Kyler Murray may be an upgrade over Baker Mayfield, the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner who now is an NFL starter. As succinctly as I can put it, Kyler Murray is scary good, at least through his first five games as a starter.
If the Sun Tzu posit, "Every battle is won before it is ever fought" is true for this game, the Longhorns, as Abe Lemons would say, are in a "sticky wicket."
Reasons for Longhorns optimism
- Oklahoma hasn't played a good team this year. They've defeated Florida Atlantic, UCLA, Iowa State, Army, and Baylor. Those teams combined won-loss record is 8-15. Florida Atlantic has the most impressive win of the bunch over 1-3 Air Force.
- Oklahoma's defense is average at best. Their secondary is small and undistinguished. Texas can make hay in the passing game if they're aggressive.
- Todd Orlando is verging on elite status as a defensive coordinator and he has enough good players to slow Oklahoma down at least a little bit. Orlando needs to be on his toes and adjust quickly to Lincoln Riley's adjustments.
Other than overarching fact that Oklahoma appears to be a legitimate top 10 team with an elite offensive coordinator, quarterback, and elite receivers, the biggest thing for Longhorn fans to be worried about is special teams. Texas punter Ryan Bujcevski is slow in getting kicks away and Oklahoma blocked a punt against Florida Atlantic. They're sure to try block another this week. Oklahoma's returner Tre Brown returned a kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown against UCLA.
Final Thoughts
When today's American-Statesman went to print, Oklahoma was favored in this game by seven points. The line opened at nine. I'm an amateur assessor of sports betting. That being said, nine seems about right to me.
At the OU pep rally in Gregory Gym in 1975, Darrell Royal having lost four straight to the Sooners, said it was time get back on the winning side. Oklahoma was #2, Texas was #5. Marty Akins, Earl Campbell, and an elite Texas defense fought hard in one of the most exciting and memorable Texas-OU games I've attended. In the end it wasn't enough. OU prevailed 24-17.
Texas has lost six of eight to OU since 2010. It's time to get back on the winning side. I'm afraid I don't see it happening, but I'll be there in section 126, row 26, seat 32 rooting for the Longhorns and hoping for the best. It will the 38th Texas-OU game I've attended.

Betsy DeVos on affirmative action, sexual assault and her controversial HBCU comment
Just in time for the new school year: new insights into how Education Secretary Betsy DeVos plans to tackle higher education issues in America.
Since her controversial confirmation in February (which required a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence), the divisive DeVos has shied away from speaking with media. She sat down Aug. 9 with the Associated Press to discuss a wide range of topics, from for-profit schools and affirmative action, to sexual assault on campus and HBCUs.
Read more:
DeVos gets an earful from Michigan school superintendents
Michigan native Betsy DeVos visits Grand Rapids to promote community college training
Below are highlights from that conversation, plus suggested background reading for key context.
What DeVos told AP:
"My last three decades have been working on behalf of primarily minority families and students to allow them to make choices for their kids. And to think anything otherwise, my feelings otherwise for providing opportunities for minority students is just absolutely false. I mean, that's where my heart has been for three decades is to really empower and allow all families the same kind of opportunities I've had for my kids."
- In February, the Trump administration rolled back Obama-era guidelines that required schools to allow transgender students to use restrooms matching their chosen gender rather than their birth gender. DeVos later called Obama's policy an "overreach" of matters that should be handled at a "personal and local level."
- The Department of Education has the power to withhold federal funding from private colleges that discriminate against LGBTQ students, but comments made by DeVos in June suggest the department may forgo that right. FYI: Nearly a dozen LGBTQ students at private universities have alleged discrimination over the past five years, particularly at institutions with religious affiliations.
- DeVos supports vouchers that would give lower-income students across America $12,000 each to put towards private school tuition, including religious schools. This controverisal system would cost $20 billion in federal funding.
TL;DR: DeVos dodged the LGBTQ part of the question, but she did go on to talk about the black community, which brings us to…
What DeVos told AP:
"Let me just comment on what I think was an out of context comment and a misunderstanding with the HBCUs. When I talked about it being a pioneer in choice it was because I acknowledge that racism was rampant and there were no choices. These HBCUs provided choices for black students that they didn't have. I think that that comment was — while I could have said it, stated it much better — my intention was to say they were pioneering on behalf of students that didn't have another choice. This was their only choice."
So, what was that "out of context" comment?
After meeting with HBCU presidents and chancellors in February, DeVos issued the following statement.
Critics took particular issue with her comment that "HBCUs are real pioneers when it comes to school choice. They are living proof that when more options are provided to students, they are afforded greater access and greater quality. Their success has shown that more options help students flourish."
So, they schooled the secretary of education with a history lesson: HBCUs weren't founded to create more choices for black people. They were founded in response to racist Jim Crow laws that propagated segregation in the South, barring black people from attending traditionally white institutions. In other words, HBCUs were the only choice for black people for many years.
DeVos clarified her statement the next day in a speech honoring civil rights activist and educator Mary McLeod Bethune, saying "the traditional school systemically failed to provide African Americans access to a quality education — or, sadly, more often to any education at all."
More background:
- In May, graduating seniors from Bethune-Cookman University, a historically black university in Daytona Beach, Fla., booed DeVos during her commencement speech. Some went so far as to turn their backs on her.
TL;DR: DeVos wants to make it clear that, yes, she knows HBCUs are the product of our painful, racism-riddled history.

Few would disagree that this week has been a challenging one for many Americans. But today is Veterans Day, and Jeep is celebrating the occasion (and its own 75th anniversary) with an inspiring ad dedicated to the men and women who served by way of the very first vehicle to be considered for a Purple Heart to honor its service in WWII.
The spot, which aired on Jeep's social media channels this morning, pays tribute to "Old Faithful," a WWII-era vehicle that was retired and awarded a Purple Heart designation after leading the United States Marine Corps through two beach landings and a shelling by the Japanese military during the Battle of Guadalcanal in 1943.
Austin's GSD&M was the creative agency behind the ad.
The Purple Heart honor was largely symbolic as only veterans themselves can receive medals, but "Old Faithful" went on tours and appeared in exhibitions following the end of the war.
From a July 1944 edition of The Marine Corps Chevron: "The jeep was retired ... after having traveled more than 11,000 miles of jungle terrain as a command car. During its 18 months' service 'Old Faithful' served four Marine generals as well as carrying every ranking Marine officer and visiting official on the two battle-torn islands."
The original vehicle was supposed to be displayed indefinitely in the Marine Corps Museum in Quantico, Va.; unfortunately, it has been lost to history.
Jeep's parent company FIAT Chrysler added GSD&M to its roster in May after a creative review for the Dodge brand. FIAT often allows its agency partners to pitch project-based work, and GSD&M created this campaign to coincide with both Veterans Day and the company's 75th anniversary.

Skip Tracing- Arizona
Skip tracing investigations in Arizona are a particular specialty of ours at Bond Investigations. We have successfully located numerous key witnesses throughout the US for our clients, and have worked on hundreds of cases alongside state and federal judicial authorities, lawyers, and debt-recovery agencies. Witness location can be the cause of great headaches in legal cases and result in untold delays in the courts. We have a high success rate in finding individuals who would otherwise be extremely difficult to track down. We can put this down to the efforts of our expert investigators and their tried and tested investigative methods.
What Does Skip Tracing Involve?
To find a missing person in Arizona, or indeed to conduct a nationwide search for someone, you need more than basic database searches and investigation of social media, although those are both important factors, to begin with. Alongside our access to state-wide consumer and federal government databases, which provide a heap of information unavailable in the public domain, we use surveillance techniques and "in the field" methods to help locate those who appear to have gone off the trail. Our team of professional investigators gathers all available information about the subject in question, before conducting a thorough analysis to aid in the search.
People often use alibis to avoid any form of legal wrangling, or skip state and attempt to conceal their identity through a change of name. Our investigations don't stop at the state border, so you can count on our assistance to find your missing person, whether it's somebody who is crucial to an investigation or legal trial, or simply a long lost friend or relative that you need to contact.
Why Choose Us?
All of our detectives who handle skip tracing investigations in Arizona attend regular seminars to keep up to date with the latest techniques and sources of information available to conduct thorough and successful searches of missing or "hard to find" individuals. All information gathered by our team in their investigations is scrutinized for accuracy, with addresses and contacts important to the case thoroughly cross-checked and verified. Our success rate speaks for itself, and it's one we're incredibly proud of sharing.
Fast and Efficient Witness Location
Our experience over the years, coupled with our extensive access to important search databases means we can locate missing persons in a fast and effective manner. At Bond Investigations, we have learned the tricks of the trade to make light work of the obstacles that others skip tracing agencies struggle to overcome.
Our team of professionals is available to take your call on (602) 559 9620. Or why not explain your predicament in person by visiting us in our Arizona office, which is located at 2600 North Central Ave #170? Allow our licensed detectives to take the guesswork out of your missing-person search.

Not sure but I imagine they obliterated it for the core foundation. It probably still remains in place up to the west line of Canal St so it could still be connected via elevator/stairs to the Union Station pedway.

Branch copy is a very powerful action, widely used in what-if-scenario analysis.
It can also be used to copy, for example, promotion events.
The problem is, when we create a copy of a completed promotion event also the status is copied indicating that the newly copied event is also completed, which obviously is not the case.
The idea is to add a list of exceptions to copy branch functionality (to exclude specific line items from being part of the copy, while using copy branch). As a result Status of the copied promotion event can be BLANK, or defaulted through this exception rule, example given: Planned.

Baftas 2020: pink eyeshadow is reigning supreme
From the SAG Awards to the Grammys, this has been the year of colour-themed make-up, and the latest focus is none other than pink.
This year's Bafta awards saw baby pink makeup and many a black coloured gown. Having eyeshadow to match your outfit was definitely the theme of the evening. Another theme for the evening: 1917 dominated the awards show.
The Sam Mendes-directed film won seven awards in total, including the coveted Best Film, Outstanding British Film and Best Director.
Renée Zellweger was awarded Lead Actress for her portrayal of cinematic heavyweight Judy Garland in Judy, whilst Lead Actor went to Joaquin Phoenix for his character of Joker in the film of the same name.
Laura Dern won Supporting Actress for her role as divorce lawyer Nora Fanshaw in Marriage Story and Brad Pitt won Supporting Actor for his character of Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
The EE Rising Star award, previously won by the likes of Black Panther's Letitia Wright, Queen & Slim's Daniel Kaluuya and Spiderman's Tom Holland, went to Top Boy's Michael Ward.
An exciting night for film, but also fashion and beauty. The reigning colour palette and style on the carpet this year? The pale pink glow. It's understated, yet still makes use of a little colour.
Here are the best pink eyeshadow looks from the BAFTAs 2020:
Scarlett Johansson
Nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, Scarlett Johansson has been doing the rounds on the award show red carpets, from her £23 skincare prep at the Golden Globe awards to the accompanying fashion. Perhaps the boldest of the pink eyeshadow looks, Scarlett wears a bold, deep pink eyeshadow that stands out against a smaller black flicked eyeliner with a light pink lipstick to match, all complimenting her pink, structured cutout dress.
Florence Pugh
Ella Balinska
Charlize Theron
Lily-Rose Depp
Presenter at the show, Lily Rose Depp wore darker, gradient pink eyeshadow to bounce off of her Chanel black lace dress. Starting off in the inner corner as light pink with little highlight, the upper lids progressively transition into a deeper, rosy pink. Pairing it back with a neutral pink lipstick, this look definitely sways more towards the black, gothic-inspired appearance overall.
These celebrities have also worn pink eyeshadow throughout award season:
Elle Fanning
Elisabeth Moss

Tabatha was suppose to be born on my B-day March 4,83 but we had terrible storms Feb 23 and I went into labor. When I got to the hospital, they went ahead and broke my water and she was born. She was 6lbs and 3ozs and was 18 inches long. She had a head full of black hair and everyone fell in Love with her. She was beautiful and very special. She was the first girl grandbaby on both sides.
As Tab grew, she was very out spoken and knew exactly what she wanted and knew how to get it. She was my Angel. She loved school and was good at everything she did. She was a mommies girl and I loved it. We were best friends. Her daddy left us when she was one year old so that left me and her older brother alone. It was just us three for 8 years. We got very, very close.
Tabatha was the only one to graduate High school and we were all proud. She took CNA classes in High school and got a job at the nursing Home right after school. She loved her job and the people she took care of. She was in the band as color guard and was Tech at 2 different schools. She was also a member of the Scenic city drum corps and was suppose to travel when she got sick.
She was one of those people that everyone got along with. She met a fellow and fell in Love in April of this year. On June 21,03,we went and tried on wedding dresses. We had so much fun, just us girls. She was so happy. On June 23,I took her for her first checkup and that's when she first complained with symptoms. She was dizzy and feeling tired. The next day she went swimming and fell because she could not feel her feet. She called me crying and was scared and told me something was wrong. I told her to take some vitamins and go to the doctor the next day.
The next morning I got a call from her friend saying she had called and ambulance cause Tab was sick. But they did not take her to the hospital. The next day, she called them again but they still did not take her. That night we took her to the hospital, she was numb in her feet, legs and hands. They said she was fine and sent her home. The next night we took her back, numbness from waist down, and arms and hands. They said it was all in her head and sent her home. That was on Friday and her dad took her to his house. They called me everyday saying she was getting better.
On Wednesday, five days later, I went down there to see her. She was gasping for air and could not move at all. I WENT NUTS!!!! I called the ambulance and told them not to bring her home till she was better. At the hospital, they called in a nuro doctor and he finally diagnosed Guillain-Barre. That was on July 2.They put her on the the breathing machine the next morning. They started Imuglobins and Ativan. She kept getting worse so on July 10th she was transported to Emory in Atlanta, GA. They put a trach in her neck and a stomach peg and a pic in her arm. By this time she was blind. This is so hard. She cried and I did my best to comfort her. She got pneumonia right away and went downhill from there. Infections and everything.
On July 21 she was crying and shaken her head so bad. I tried to calm her but she wouldn't. Her blood pressure shot up to 170 over 119.They gave her Lopressor and it came down. Then she turned to me and I thought she could see me. I ask her "Can you see me?" and she shook her head no. Then she moved her lips and I leaned in to see what she was saying, she mouthed the words "Thank you". Then she said "I Love you, mom." Oh God, I knew she was leaving me. Then she passed out. She never woke up after that. They let her stay on everything but on the 23rd,they said she was brain dead and put a monitor in her head. Her brain was swollen 70 percent. The next morning, the 24th,they took the vent off and shut the machines down. I sang Amazing Grace to her, kissed her cheek and told her goodbye. All the family was there and told her goodbye. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I miss her so bad. She was my baby girl, my best friend and my Angel. She loved God and lived each day for him. She got me back in church and I made a promise to her on he death bed that I would continue church and I would see her again one day. That's Tab's story. As for her fiancé, he deserted her and did not come see her until she was dead. Tab cried at first for him but he would not come. He broke her heart. My Angel is in Heaven now and my heart is broken. I miss her.

- Steve and Terri, satisfied clients
What to Do After a Work Injury
After getting hurt on the job or being diagnosed with a medical condition that is caused by work duties, many people are left wondering what the initial next steps should be.
The most important first step is to report an injury to your employer. This is a necessary first step toward getting Workers' Comp benefits, such as income and covering related medical bills.
NY Workers' Compensation law requires that you notify your employer within 30 days of your work injury, or 30 days within knowing that your medical condition is caused by your job.
Talk with Our Workers' Comp Lawyers near Rome, NY Before Filing a Workers' Compensation Claim
A Workers' Comp case is initiated when a C-2 or C-3 form is submitted to the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. A statute of limitations applies for Workers' Compensation claims. A Workers' Comp claim must be filed within 2 years of a work injury, or from the time that a person finds out that their medical condition is a result of their work.
However, how you answer the questions on this Workers' Comp claim form can make the difference between getting benefits or not. Because of this, it's very important to complete the Workers' Compensation claim form thoroughly and honestly.
The sad reality is that many injured workers are left having to figure out how they'll get by simply because they didn't present the information appropriately on their Workers' Comp claim form.
When it comes to how you'll meet basic needs and pay for medical bills related to a work injury or illness, the risks are too great to try to handle the complicated Workers' Comp process on your own.
MCV Law can help you complete a Workers' Compensation claim and provide the legal representation to empower you to get the benefits you need.
Already Filed a Workers' Comp Claim? It's Not Too Late.

How Much Does Workers' Comp Pay?
How much you will be paid by Workers' Compensation depends on a few things.
Your Average Weekly Wage, or how much you get paid per week on average, is one factor for calculating how much you'll receive on Workers' Comp. Specifically, the Average Weekly Wage includes how much an injured worker was paid on average during the 52 weeks before the injury occurred or the illness was diagnosed. This includes bonuses and/or commissions.
The second thing that is considered to determine how much an injured worker will get paid on Workers' Compensation is the level of temporary impairment. This is determined by a doctor. The doctor then files a report with the NY State Workers' Compensation Board, which includes a percentage from 0 to 100 to distinguish the level of temporary impairment.
If you'd like to know more about how Workers' Comp benefits are calculated, learn more below.
How Much Does Workers' Comp Pay?
Insurance Isn't Paying Bills Related to Your Work Injury? Contact Our Workers' Comp Lawyers near Rome, NY to Protect Your Rights.
While most people would think getting hurt at work simply means that their employer's Workers' Compensation insurance would cover their work injury related medical bills, it's often not that easy.
The insurance carrier may deny covering medical bills related to a work injury for a wide variety of reasons.
When insurance denies paying for medical bills related to a work injury, there's still something you can do to get your expenses covered. However, the process can get complicated. Related Workers' Compensation Board hearings can be overwhelming and confusing for most people who aren't Workers' Comp lawyers.
Has insurance denied treatment or medications for your work related injury or illness? Talk to MCV Law's Workers' Comp lawyers near Rome, NY for a free consultation.

Where art Romeo? No problem, Junior All-Stars say
INDIANAPOLIS – There is more to the junior class than Romeo Langford, as the boys Junior All-Stars showed in a 122-110 victory over the IndyStar Indiana All-Stars on Tuesday night in New Albany.
"I think everybody had that chip on their shoulder," said Tindley junior Eric Hunter, who finished with 13 points, five rebounds and four assists. "It's setup for us to lose. They had about six practices and we had about half of one."
The 6-3 Hunter, who helped Tindley to a Class A state title, is entering a crucial juncture of his recruitment. He will get a final chance in July to play in front of college coaches before making a decision.
Hunter will take an unofficial visit to Minnesota the weekend of June 17. He will be in Bloomington for a team camp the following weekend at Indiana. Hunter has offers from Butler, Creighton, Minnesota, Nebraska, Purdue and Xavier. Another Big Ten Conference program that has entered the mix is Northwestern.
"We were up there (in Chicago in May) and I took a visit afterwards," Hunter said of Northwestern. "I've talked to their coaches a lot since then. It was kind of like the Creighton visit. They didn't know much about me before but have a good relationship now."
>> Washington shines for Juniors: Terre Haute South's De'Avion Washington was already a well-known name in high school basketball circles by the time he was a freshman.
The 6-3 Washington, who has offers from Ball State, Indiana State, IUPUI, Valparaiso, East Carolina, New Orleans, Temple, UNC-Greensboro and Western Illinois, flashed his potential in the first half of the Juniors' win Tuesday.
Washington had 19 points at halftime on 5-for-8 shooting from the 3-point line. He finished with 21 points.
"I'm still undecided and talking to my family about college," he said. "I had to get my jump shot a lot better from freshman year to now. I've got a lot more confidence now because of extra reps in the gym."
Washington's shooting — he finished 5-for-8 from 3 — highlighted an excellent shooting night overall from the juniors (19-for-40 from 3). Five other players made multiple shots from the arc.
>> Dana Evans rebounds: Gary West's Dana Evans, this year's runner-up for IndyStar Miss Basketball behind Homestead's Karissa McLaughlin, settled into Tuesday night's 112-76 win over the Junior All-Stars and finished with 11 points and six assists.
The 5-6 guard, a Louisville recruit, was a McDonald's All-American after averaging 35.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.2 assists as a senior. After finishing runner-up in the Miss Basketball voting, Evans told the Post-Tribune in Northwest Indiana that "deep down inside, everybody knows who deserves to be Miss Basketball."
But on Tuesday night, Evans said she's past the disappointment of not winning the award.
"Everything happens for a reason," she said. "It wasn't my blessing. I'm enjoying the whole experience with all of the girls and having fun."
Evans, who finished with 2,832 career points to rank fifth in state history, didn't completely unveil her vast offensive talent Tuesday. But after committing five first-half turnovers, she played a strong second half.
"My turnovers at the beginning were pretty bad," she said. "I normally don't have that many, but I had to get used to the game. I'm going to distribute the ball and get everybody in position to be successful."
Evans said she enjoyed playing with McLaughlin and the rest of the All-Stars.
"We've competed against each other so it's nice to have them on your side," she said. "We're getting to know each other more."
All-Stars coach Curt Benge, of Plainfield, said Evans — and the other All-Stars — found a comfort level as the game went on Tuesday.
"I think there's some nerves when you put that All-Star jersey on the first time," he said. "Dana definitely found a rhythm and we challenged early on to make everybody else better. She did that."
>> Missing players no big deal: IndyStar Mr. Basketball Kris Wilkes of North Central led the All-Stars with 33 points and 10 rebounds in a losing cause Tuesday. The 6-8 Wilkes, a UCLA recruit, mentioned things might have been different with a little more size on the roster. But he wasn't calling out Fort Wayne North Side's Jaylen Butz (6-10) or Fort Wayne Snider's Malik Williams (7-foot), who decided not to participate in All-Star week.
"I don't dwell too much on it," Wilkes said. "If they don't want to play, they don't want to play. We'll rock with the team we have and stay together and fight hard to win."
>> Anderson to make visit: South Bend Riley's Damezi Anderson, who finished with a game-high 24 points for the Juniors on Tuesday, said he plans to make an unofficial visit to Indiana this month. The 6-7 Anderson picked up an offer from Michigan this past week, adding to a list that includes Ball State, DePaul, New Mexico, Purdue and UConn.
>> This and that: The girls All-Stars had 27 assists on 40 field goals Tuesday. "That's an incredible stat regardless of what level you're talking about," Benge said. Evans had a team-leading six assists, followed by McLaughlin (four) and Plainfield's Riley Blackwell (four). … McLaughlin, a Purdue recruit, filled the stat sheet with 14 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals. She was also the team's top 3-point shooter, making 3-for-7. "We were a little stagnant at times but I think as we continue to practice more and play again Thursday, we'll be pretty sharp by the end of the week," she said. "It's just fine-tuning those things like decreasing our turnovers and finding each other on the floor." … The Junior All-Stars played without Carmel's Amy Dilk, Heritage Christian's Katlyn Gilbert and East Chicago Central's Jenasae Bishop due to injuries. …The Junior boys have now won at least one game against the All-Stars for three consecutive years. The All-Stars lead the all-time series 36-10. The Juniors have never swept the series, although the Juniors won two of three games in 2006. There were three years from 2005-07 when three exhibition games were played. The series began in 1996. "We know they are going to be coming for us," McCutcheon junior Robert Phinisee said. "They don't want to lose twice to the juniors."

Thursday's game
>>What: Second exhibition game for Indiana All-Stars against Junior All-Stars.
>>Where: Plainfield High School.
>>When: Girls game 6 p.m., boys to follow.

I think that you've touched on a possible story subject, dealing with the difficulty we have changing our minds about things. For instance, choose someone who believes something YOU believe about a politicized subject. Show them as being critical of the inability of a friend or co-worker to shift their beliefs. But then show how our protagonist himself is "frozen" in some other way that he cannot see. Help the reader see how this influences our world.

An Ilorin High Court, presided over by Justice Adeyinka Oyinloye, has reportedly granted a garnishee order Nisi attaching the monies in the bank accounts of online newspaper, Sahara Reporters for the satisfaction of the judgment sum of N4b in favour of the Senate President Bukola Saraki. The garnished banks are Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) and United Bank for Africa(UBA)
According reports, the court's decision has sent the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore into panic. The publisher has reportedly not been able to access their bank accounts since the court's decision as the accounts have been temporarily frozen.
It would be recalled that the Senate President had, through his lawyer, Babatunde Olomu, filed a case against Both Sowore and Sahara Reporters as joint defendants in the suit marked as KWS/23/2017 following a series of libelous stories published against Saraki on Sahara Reporters in 2015.
On Wednesday, June 28, the court had given judgment to Saraki and granted damages in the sum of N4 billion for the alleged libelous publications by Sahara Reporters.
The Senate President had in an interview earlier this month vowed that he will not spare any legal efforts and expenses, both in Nigeria and abroad, necessary to recover every kobo of the cost awarded in his favour from Sowore. "The money will also be used to support genuine publications whose owners are struggling to pay salaries of workers or meet their ever rising running cost. Part of the money will also be channeled to help lawyers who have been providing pro bono services to litigants, particularly, on cases bothering on enforcement of fundamental human rights," a statement by the Senate President said.
The court order:

After the lockdown – it's time to stop labelling campaigners 'extremists'
UPDATE, 16 May 2020: The call for signatories has now closed.
We are asking you to add your name to the following statement calling for the National Police Chiefs Council to confirm – before the lockdown is over – that it will abandon completely the categorisation of political campaigning activities as "domestic extremism".
This is yet another reminder why such government reassurances have proven meaningless as long as the police remain able to subjectively categorise groups as "extremist", even though this label has no legal definition.
The coronavirus crisis has demonstrated just how dramatically and how quickly political and economic orthodoxies can crumble.
It is now clear society is capable of organising to meet human need rather than simply to generate profit – and not just in a crisis. The government may want everything to return to the way it was before but most likely, as in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, only for the benefit of the few.
Our fear is that campaigners will likely find themselves, once again, labelled as 'extremists' and become the renewed target for intensive surveillance by Britain's political policing units.
That is why we call on the National Police Chiefs Council to confirm, before the current crisis is over, that it will abandon completely the meaningless categorisation of legitimate political campaigning activities as "domestic extremism".

When copying mixed originals composed of Letter paper and Legal paper, all of the copies are printed on Legal paper. Screenshots of settings below.
The originals are loaded Letter, Legal, Letter, Legal, etc
Both Letter and Legal are loaded and properly configured, and the documents appear correct when scanning with identical settings selected.
I have tested this on a C8055 and a B8055, both produce the same result: The legal original prints correctly, while the letter original prints on legal sized paper in the very center of the page.
I have verified up-to-date software, restarted, software reset, and gone down the phone support route to no avail.
Building the job 1 page at a time via the Build Job setting takes far too long for our workflow.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm truly at a loss.
Hello Kenson-O,
Please take a look at this article for mixed originals.
If you are still having issues after trying these steps, I suggest that you call into our support department for assistance @ 1-800-821-2797 or 1-800-835-6100.
Thank you for the suggestion Tammy, but that article only shows how to set the paper size
As explained in my post, I am copying Mixed Originals where the Legal documents are printing on Legal paper as intended, but my Letter documents are printing on Legal as well instead of Letter.
I have called in multiple times to seek support, but no one seems to have any suggestions for me other then using Build Job, which does not fit my workflow, nor does it solve the issue with the Mixed Originals function printing Letter size documents on Legal Paper.
I know that you stated that the machine is at the latest firmware. What Firmware level is it?
I am seeing Mixed Size Originals issues in Firmware Release Notes for the AltaLink but for the B series.
The firmware levels I am working are as follows:
Altalink B8000 Series - 101.008.019.20200
Altalink C8000 Series - 101.002.059.13300 (I have tried a few firmware levels on this machine testing this issue, it is currently running a SPAR from late 2020 if I'm not mistaken.)
I have done limited testing on the B series device as it is not at the office I work out of.
The latest (03/21) SPAR firmware for the C80xx is 103.xxx.001.05400.
The latest for the B80xx is 103.008.001.05400. I would recommend upgrading to the latest to see if it fixes the Mixed Size Original issue.
If it does not then you should contact Support and open a Log. On the plus side they would have you upgrade anyway since your firmware is from 10/19 (B) and 05/19 (C).
You can get links to the Firmware at www.xerox.com/security. On the right side of the page under Security Resources is a Software Release Quick Lookup Table.
I hope this helps.
I appreciate the assistance, but sadly still no success.
I'm working with support to find a resolution, but so far, no luck.
Should anyone stumble upon this post, as of 6/23/21, it is unresolved.
For some reason, when copying Mixed Originals, specifically Letter and Legal, all documents print on Legal size paper rather than Letter AND Legal.
I've verified and swapped firmware, quintuple-checked the settings, and tried every variation and permutation I was offered or thought of.
Here's to hoping that the second level can help!
I am experiencing the same issue with a Altalink B8045. I have updated the firmware to the latest SPAR 103.008.011.14100 and still have the same issue with copying mixed origionals as the origional post to this thread. Has there been any update from support regarding a fix?
We have a customer with a C8130 experiencing the same issue with mixed size originals, with machine firmware level at 105.x.x.x. So this hasn't been addressed via SPAR or FW/SW update since last July 2021. Basically, Mixed Size Originals is selected, Auto Paper Select is on by default, 8 1/2 x 11 and 8 1/2 x 14 originals are loaded properly in the document feeder, short-edge-first (by a Xerox technician, who was onsite and brought this to my attention) and all copies are printed onto legal-sized paper.
This issue needs resolution.
If the device is at machine firmware level at 105.x.x.x. it is the Launch (original) version. There is new Firmware (02/22) at Xerox.com
If you are still having issue with Mixed Size Originals please contact support and get a Log opened if it is not resolved.
I hope this helps.

"Saviors of Diaspora Agunot "-article by Dr. Levmore
A lengthy article entitled "Saviors of Diaspora Agunot" authored by Dr. Rachel Levmore, director of the IYIM Project for the Prevention of Agunot and Get-Refusal was published by the Jeusalem Post on on September 10th. The information included in the article provides crucial information for Diaspora Jewish communities and Rabbinical Courts the world-over. With clarity, Dr. Levmore explained the astounding success of a new law, passed by the Knesset in 2018 (with Dr. Levmore's influence in its final wording), which empowered the Israeli State Rabbinical Courts to secure a get, within two years, for 57 (!) agunot who neither they nor their husbands were Israeli citizens. These women and their local Rabbinical Courts were in desperate straits, unable to free the agunot — until the Knesset and Israel's Rabbinical Courts joined forces and saved their lives. It was also reported how an additional 25 gets were arranged in the European Rabbinical Courts due to the very existence of the law.

Just like the Pisces symbol I was born under (if astrology means anything to you; it doesn't to me), I'm in two minds when it comes to life: usually, I like to plan ahead for things and know what to expect (what I call my Against the Current Fish–ACF), but at other times I like to go with the flow (my Downstream Fish (DSF), alternately known as OK Player (OKP) when I've lost the will to care :D). Most of the time, the areas of my life are clearly ruled by one or the other facet of my complex personality:
Work: ACF Bill Paying: OKP (bad, I know) What I wear to work: DSF
Chores: ACF Cooking: DSF
But there are some areas in life where the fish battle for supremacy:
romantic relationship packing
Nowhere is this more true than in the case of my writing, particularly my NaNoWriMo novel.
I planned very little in advance with this novel. Even though I lifted the idea from a little piece I wrote my senior year of high school for a writing workshop class. I planned out what the catalyst would be, the major dramatic question (MDQ), when it would all come to a head and who the major players were. I decided on a time line and how to split up the story: the call that is the catalyst for recent events, for example, occurs one year before everything comes to a head, but there are some important things that happened nine and ten years before the crisis point as well. I thought that I could plan out when to introduce characters before I wrote each day. Other than that, I would let the writing flow.
This seems to have been a bad idea. It works some days, but other days, I am almost in tears for lack of inspiration. I curse myself that I didn't plan ahead better. My characters surprise me (the best friend being pregnant was not what I originally had in mind), real people creep in (my boyfriend as my MC's boyfriend), and many of the things I planned go to crap (or are DOA).
But then, when everything clicks, it really clicks. Like my description of where she meets Nathan for their blind date, or how well the prologue came out. I had a one line description of one of my MC's aunt's that captured her character so perfectly, I could not write another word about her personality and you'd get it.
I worry that planning ahead too much can kill the anticipation I feel sitting down to write. It's like a soap opera or Dexter: what's going to happen when I sit down today? Is my MC going to go from frying pan to fire? Is she going to have a spot of good luck? What craziness will her pregnant best friend pull? Will the men inadvertently ruin everything?
So what I need to figure out is how to strike a balance between letting the work flow and planning ahead enough so that I at least have SOMEWHERE to begin each day.
How do you write? Are you someone who plans ahead, lets it flow, or both? How do you balance it out and keep writing?
Note: Balance is one of my favorite words these days.

The simplest approach to writing a story is to say that the now of the narrator is the now the writer is in – the today they inhabit.
And, of course, being to do with time, this immediately becomes extremely complicated.
Novelists feel most powerfully, and sometimes damagingly, the effects of making now the day they're doing the writing.
A great many novelists, right now, are feeling the thing they were writing has been overtaken by events, or that it's no longer relevant, or that within the kind of time they're experiencing now they simply can't get back to the kind of headspace they were in when they began.
Because novels take a long time to write, it's almost inevitable that – during that time – now will change. Normal will become a new normal.
If you started a novel set in a Care Home in Derbyshire, back in December 2019, you were – without knowing it – writing a COVID-19 novel. Even if you set your novel in December 2015, you're still writing a COVID-19 novel – because those characters you're showing have a likely future that the reader knows but they don't know.
There is vast, terrible dramatic irony.
Literary aside: A good example of this is Badenheim 1939 by Aharon Appelfeld. In this, the reader knows what the Nazis will do – within the year – to the Jewish population of a small town.
And so 'When is now?' isn't just a question for writers of historical or science fiction novels. Even the present is a time that can be approached in many different ways.
Literary aside: The English writer J.G.Ballard said he always wrote about five minutes into the future. You can see this in a novel such as High-Rise, which isn't set in 1974, the year it was written, but isn't set in a definitely imagined 1975 either. It's set in a now that's what if? What if there's been a complete breakdown in society?
It's worth asking yourself how you feel about the now you exist in. What kind of state is now in? Is it a broken time? A decadent time? Is it a panicked time or a leisured time? Should that come through in your narrative voice?
If we take the example of a leisured time – most people would agree that our now (2020) is both a panicked and a leisured time. There are some people more panicked than they were in 2019, and some with a lot more leisure. This is a very distinctive now.
But let's say you write about your characters in a very leisured way. You describe in beautiful detail their safe domestic environment. You have them interact with the outside world in a way that feels as if nothing could be more certain. External events aren't going to trouble them, they are sure, it's only their emotional life that will slowly develop. And they turn out to be right in their assumptions.
You may be doing all of this because you think it's the way for you to do your best writing. But I'd argue that you're putting yourself and your narrator into a very different now to most of your likely readers.
Your leisured now may be one they very much wish to enter. Cosy fiction has boomed during the lockdown. In writing, you should be aware of that. It should effect how your sentences are shaped. It should given you a clear sense how to move from one scene to the next.
Is now for the narrator the same as now for the writer and is that the same as the now of the reader?
There will always be a time gap between writing and reading, even if the reader stands behind the writer, reading over their shoulder, or has their desktop cloned for home viewing.
Like all gaps in fiction, this gap between the now of the writer, the now of the narrator and the now of the reader can be one of the things that makes the story.
Let's look at a few of those gaps.
No gap, apparently
I am typing this sentence and you are reading it at roughly the same pace as I am typing it, because I am a fast typist.
It is possible to write just about the writing and the reading of the text, and try to close the gap between narrator and reader as much as possible, but this is a very small world. There's hardly anywhere to go.
The opening to Italo Calvino's If on a winter's night a traveller is famous for riding alongside the reader. At the time of publication, for an Italian audience, a probably male one who lived in an apartment, this would have been quite uncanny. But if you live in Dubai and downloaded the novel onto your kindle and are taking a break from your work in a hotel kitchen, it's not going to work at all.
You are about to begin reading Italo Calvino's new novel, If on a winter's night a traveler. Relax. Concentrate. Dispel every other thought. Let the world around you fade. Best to close the door; the TV is always on in the next room. Tell the others right away, "No, I don't want to watch TV!" Raise your voice — they won't hear you otherwise — "I'm reading! I don't want to be disturbed!" Maybe they haven't heard you, with all that racket; speak louder, yell: "I'm beginning to read Italo Calvino's new novel!" Or if you prefer, don't say anything: just hope they'll leave you alone.
Present tense gap
The now of a first person present tense narrator is very different – has very different qualities – to that of a third person past tense narrator.
I run down the corridor.
begs more questions than –
She ran down the corridor.
For a first person present tense narrator, the idea of 'now… now… now…' is in every sentence whether that word is included in them or not. In fact, one of the downsides of this voice is that the constant nowness can easily become wearing.
[Now] I run round to the left. And [now] my feet almost slip out from under me.
When the 'I run' narrator actually needs the word now, it will likely appear in urgent statements.
'Do it now,' I say.
Otherwise it can remain buried, implicit everywhere.
Aside: A paradox of I run narration, often unseen by writers who use it, is that there is no time of writing. The impression given isn't that of someone sprinting with a pen and notebook, and writing I run in jagged letters as they run. This kind of narrator is doing one of two things, either they're being reported on in an exciting, in-the-present-moment by another invisible narrator or they are reporting on themselves, later. In either case now, in I run narratives, isn't really now (because you can't run and narrate at the same time). What's going on in your head is less 'I run round to the left' and more 'Shit, better go left' or just 'Down there'. The true sentence behind 'I run down the corridor' is something like 'I run down a corridor a while ago but in order to bring you the nowness of me being me and running that I experienced in that moment, I'm going to write it as I run…'
Stories and novels often have invisible second narrators, either because the supposed real narrator isn't capable of constructing those sentences or organising those paragraphs and chapters, or because – even if they are capable of writing the exact words we read – they have not been given enough time to do so.
In order to do this kind of writing well, you need to be able to clearly imagine those different narrators, and their different nows.
Historical fiction gap
We've already looked a bit at this. Most fiction is set in the past – a past that is becoming more past with every second.
However, a lot of historical fiction depends upon being in a very different now to the now the characters are in.
We often have different values to people in the past. For example, we tend to value personal happiness over dedication to duty – particularly if that duty is to an institution we find questionable. For example, patriarchy.
The women who now read a novel set in 1550 are likely (but not certain) to have a bit more agency than the women they are reading about.
When we read about Griet in Girl with a Pearl Earring, we are meant to believe that she has an artistic instinct comparable to that of her master, Vermeer. We are meant to feel powerful anger at how Griet is only able to express herself artistically through being the subject of the painting.
Historical fiction tends, therefore, to flick back and forth between, 'Things were completely different then' to 'Things then were very similar to how they are now.'
There's lots more to say about this, but I have to move on.
Science fiction gap
A narrator of a story can address us from a made-up time. This time can be the future.
To know the events of 2050, a narrator needs to have been present in that time. They can then narrate those events to readers in 2050, 2051, etc. However, most science fiction narrators speak backwards in time to us, in our now. If they didn't do this, we couldn't understand them.
In terms of beers, this is the export version of the future. My favourite example is the opening sentence of Neuromancer by William Gibson.
The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.
We get to see the sky. Yet Gibson's future world of jacking in to the network is one where there aren't 'televisions'. And very soon after the publication of the novel, it became impossible to tune a television in. Children of the 1980s know what a dead channel looks like. Children of now would have to search that up on YouTube.
Personally, I think this is a bit silly.
I prefer futuristic novels that at least make the attempt to address me as if I were a futuristic person.
Third person past tense narrator now
As I've said before, things are generally more flexible and forgiving for third person narrators. They have all the time they need to write and rewrite their metaphors. They can go and look up an obscure reference in the dictionary, and either have someone explain it to their main person in dialogue, or do it themselves via leisurely exposition.
The now of the third person past tense narrator is much vaguer than that of a first person past tense narrator, and therefore far harder to get wrong.
And now it is time to turn to then…

In poetry, Karen Cheung connects with Hong Kong's protests
Editor's Note: On the night of September 26, 2014, students climbed the fence around Civic Square, the patch of land in front of Hong Kong's government offices, to demand universal suffrage. Thus began two months of citywide sit-ins and protests known both as Occupy Central and the Umbrella Movement, so named for the iconic image of a protester shielding himself from tear gas with an umbrella.
This poem from Karen Cheung's forthcoming zine, Roses in a Beer Can, weaves the songs and symbols of the protests into the narrative of her absence from them. Cheung writes:
"Whenever fellow journalists trade tales about how they were tear-gassed Hong Kong's pro-democracy Umbrella Movement in 2014, I feel a mixture of embarrassment, resentment and most of all grief for having missed the protests entirely. It wasn't until after I read Henry Wei Leung's Goddess of Democracy: An Occupy Lyric that I was able to forgive myself."
'After Occupy' is not just repentance in free verse, but a meditation on the vitality of Occupy and the void left in its wake. By the time Cheung has absolved herself, the "residue of conflict" has already been scraped off the streets. – Anne Henochowicz
After Occupy
my screen erupted into a grey mist
but my eyes did not water
eight hours and 9562 kilometres away
"pepper sprayed is no credential" the poet wrote,
two years later, same city different protest
i made sure the world knows i was pepper sprayed,
(for i did not hear the people sing.)
writers wrote books about umbrellas
filmmakers made films about yellowing
scholars published papers about democracy
(for "nothing we did could have saved" -)
please take me to admiralty,
i begged the taxi driver
one week too late in december:
no ribbons, no banners, no residue of conflict;
the site and the stories of seven million people
both expired after 79 days.
"too local," they ruled,
even when i key the bespectacled boy
into the headline.
it is not cool to speak of occupy anymore,
a localist told me:
a failure, a romanticization, a left plastic's dream;
(i am quietly relieved.)
the journalists, the diaspora, the protesters
have left us
for china, for home, for better causes;
(but i am still here, that's what counts, they say.) ∎

Liber Brenner
One of the "Bund" Leaders in Poland
Liber Brenner was born in Turisk in 1901. His father was a "Gabay" in the court of Rabbi Mordah's son. His mother owned a small flour shop and the family was very poor. Liber attended a "cheider", however, when the First World War surprised them the family left Turisk to settle in the town of "Zwoohil" in Russia where he attended a Russian High school. When the war was over the family returned to Turisk. The economic situation was very bad and Liber helped his family by giving private lessons to school children and also taught in the Hebrew school.
He was among the founders of the "Zisha" school with Yiddish as the main language. He was the most devoted teacher and beloved educator. He became very active in the "Bund" Socialist Party.
The Polish authorities could not understand the differences between them and the illegal Communist party and the invested time and effort in attempts to stop his activities. In 1929 he moved with his family to a bigger town by the name of Chenstochov in western Poland where he was appointed as a lecturer of literature in the Perez school and also a lecturer in the cultural circle of the Cultural League.
From the year 1934 until the beginning of the Second World War he served as president of the TOZ, a project to organize summer camps for children of the working class.
In 1936 the Polish authorities prohibited Brenner from teaching because of his political activities. When Germany conquered Poland he joined the Jewish underground in the resistance against the Nazis. He was one of the leading fighters of the Chenstohova Ghetto. He and his wife survived. Their little daughter was hiding outside the Ghetto and also survived and joined them after the war.
Liber Brenner believed in the possibility of establishing a Jewish life in Poland and after the Holocaust with a group of intellectuals they remained in Poland and found the Jewish Committee of the city of Chenstohov.
Yiddish new papers and periodicals were renewed with support of the Polish authorities. Liber Brenner published many articles in these re-established newspapers. In 1951 he published his study in Yiddish-"Resistance Rebellion and Annihilation of Chenstohova Ghetto" in Warsaw. When Gomulka ordered the mass departure of the remaining Jews from Poland he immigrated to Israel with his family and made his life here.

There's So Much To Sea
It's a truism of dining out that if the view is eye-popping, it rates star billing over the cuisine. But I forgot that rule about halfway through my seafood risotto recently at the Haven Riverfront Restaurant & Bar in Edgewater. Yes, the Hudson was only 30 or 40 feet away, and Midtown Manhattan lay before me across the water, an aurora borealis of skyscraping shimmer. Yet by my seventh succulent chunk of lobster, scallop and shrimp—coated in a creamy sauce featuring black rice (riso venere) with sweet corn and mascarpone—I had eyes only for the handsome presentation on the plate, give or take a covetous glance at my neighbor's intriguing pretzel-crusted fried calamari.
Opened recently, Haven is the somewhat more buttoned-up cousin of the same owners' decade-old 3 Forty Grill in Hoboken. Here executive chef Peter Larsen, a graduate of the Royal Culinary Academy of Copenhagen and a veteran of The Godwin and Artisanal in Manhattan, offers New American cooking with a seafood emphasis.
"People keep telling us, 'We needed something like this here,'" says managing partner Kerri-Ann Sweeten, who's glad the fall opening gave the restaurant a decent interval to "work out the kinks" before spring brings the added challenge of outdoor seating for 72. "It'll be like adding another whole restaurant," she says.
Haven is open for dinner seven nights a week and for brunch 11 a.m.–3 p.m. on weekends, and if you pass on the $16 "Haven Burger," entrees range from $27 to $36. —TIMOTHY KELLEY
