| SPORTS-N-REC: Nease shuts out Lake City 28-0 in regional semifinal ...
Beaches-area athletes showed no rust from the Thanksgiving layoff, feasting on competition throughout the state. Here are this week's top performers and events: n Friday night lights: The Nease High School football team blanked Lake City Columbia 21-0 at home Nov. 23 in the Class 4A regional semifinals, marking the second time this season the Panthers have shut out their district rivals. Last month, Nease was a 28-0 winner in Lake City to claim the District 5-4A title. Despite a more physical game and new offensive formations from the Tigers, the Nease defense held Lake City running back Tiger Powell to just 63 yards. Even though Nease senior quarterback Ted Stachitas was blitzed early and often in the game, he rushed for 69 yards, including 3- and 30-yard touchdown runs. Senior Graham Bates added a 28-yard run in the fourth quarter for the Panthers.
Hampton's two-sport career winding down
The Hillary Hampton-Joe Nixon wedding is set for December. Former Catawba lineman Nixon, the son and grandson of football coaches and now an assistant coach himself at West Rowan, is delighted with the timing. There's a potential conflict between the ceremony at Catawba's Omwake-Dearborn Chapel and the scheduling of the 3A state championship game. "Hill can make history, and it would make the greatest story ever," Nixon announced. "Hill can be the ultimate football wife. Get married and then go on to the state championship game if we make it." With talented tailback K.P. Parks, there's always a chance West will make it, but Hampton, a Catawba senior, isn't thrilled with the possibility of dealing with a two-minute warning to change clothes. Shedding her veil and train while racing from the chapel to support the Falcons sounds as appealing as a five-mile jog at 5 a.m.
Madeleine McCann: A Pundit Says, Judge Eurico Reis Orders And The Sun ...
I am Portuguese, very upset about this tragedy. For the first time have I read something (Bugalus 1970 3A) that makes sense. When Kate discovered the disappearence of her older daughter she is supposed to have exclaimed: «THEY've TAKEN her». My English is poor but if she had refferred to THEY, that's because she was refferring to «someone she knew». And using the «HAVE TAKEN», that's because she was expecting something to happen, however she didn't know «when». In any other circumstance of real pain and surprise I think she might have said» .
Is 'Canadian' a racist slur?
But as interesting is the debate that it has caused in the wild frontier of the American blogosphere. The story in The Huffington Post has been moving around the internet, picked up by a variety of different blogs and creating an intriguing debate — and historical race lesson — about what this all means, and what the word "Canadian" truly represents to Americans. My, oh my. It is sobering and mystifying reading for a Canadian who thought the word "Canadian" was, well, fairly easy to understand — perhaps even boringly so. How naive of me. On one blog, a contributor — called "McSnarky" — challenged anyone who was skeptical of the story: "Believe it. I lived in Houston throughout the '80s and I used to party for a while with a guy who called blacks Canadians.
Maher: Why Didn’t Rush Die from Drugs Instead of Heath Ledger?
After all, just imagine despising a radio talk show host so much that you would suggest, on national television, that he should die of a drug overdose. Alas, such was the case Friday evening when HBO's Bill Maher actually asked guest P.J. O'Rourke, who was talking about Rush Limbaugh's use of the prescription drug OxyContin (disgusting question after the jump): Video/audio: Click image to play Flash video. MP3 audio.

MMA freshman cadet Evan McDermott tries his hand taking a sextant ...
ABOARD T.S. ENTERPRISE — One instrument here, ancient and waning, allows seafarers to measure their place on earth by their link to the heavens. Each day at dawn and dusk — coming earlier and later as we head south toward the equator — the wings of the bridge are dotted with cadets, usually only seniors. They hold the tool, a sextant, to their eyes, studying the stars to plot their location at sea. .
Chris Matthews: GOP Candidates Want to Kill Bugs Bunny
While they will eat eggs from bird nests and mine apparently love suet which is beef tallow, they eat mostly seeds rich in fats and their meat is is akin to antelope in being savory, sweet and not the least bit gamey. I do not like Huckabee, but he is correct in fried squirrel is wonderful. I instead make mine as stewed. The last one I put into Brunswick Stew which was very good too. What kind of sorry world do we live in when Matthews does not realize that cabbage bleeds sap when you kill it and it too does send out impulses or cries in death. This Vegan stupidity and patrician flat world nonsense of all things are not living when you are a liberal and buying them out of a deli is pure ignorance. Too much preaching here to the masses..........but I certainly hope that young boys and girls are begging for Crossman and Red Ryder bb guns and target shooting with them for the day when Mom and Dad both take them out to harvest the bounty of nature which Conservatives created in our Game system of renewable resources.

Matthew and Camila's Casual Leather Coated V-Day
It was a momentous Valentine's Day for Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves — their first together as a couple and last before the baby comes! Double the reason for a nice night on the town in Santa Monica wearing their matching leather coats. The couple wasn't beaming, but I'm sure they shared some sweet moments throughout the day. I can imagine with a baby on the way and a construction project in the works there's a lot to stress about, but now that Matthew's got his partner by his side all he's gotta do is keep on L-I-V-I-N. .
