Every day Bob Mackey is finding out just how far he can push this year's Christ the King girls basketball team. The longtime coach is afraid to hit the proverbial accelerator this early in the season, but curious to see just what will happen when he does.
The Royals biggest parts of last season are gone. Bria Smith is starting at Louisville and Nia Oden is at Illinois. They do return four players who saw significant minutes in three-year starting guard Lauren Nuss, who is headed to Adelphi, and combo guard Rayne Connell, 6-foot-1 forward Taylor Butigian and dynamic sophomore Sierra Calhoun. They and a talented group up from the junior varsity is unproven in their expanded roles.
"Boy this is going to be fun to drive," Mackey said.
He will be without Connell in the early goings. The senior, who is considering UPenn and SMU, suffered from mono in October and had a cyst removed from her back two weeks ago. Her doctor told her it would take two to three weeks to heal, but no exact timetable has been set for her return.
Mackey said it has put more leadership responsibility on Nuss and Calhoun, considered one of the top players in the country in her class. Taking her place as the team's primary ball handler will be Alyssa Gatti and Amanni Fernandez.
"First time I've had a true point guard in awhile," Mackey said.
Calhoun is expected to prove she is a rising star. She was brought up to the varsity a few games into her freshman season and was brought along slowly. Calhoun, who hit two of the biggest 3-pointers of the season in a CHSAA Class AA semifinal win over St. John the Baptist, will be needed to step into a starring role this year.
CK will be improved in a number of areas, including its depth, length and ability to shoot the ball. Nuss is one of the city's best and Calhoun has added it to her game. JV call up Kristen Drogsler can be lights out when she gets going. Ashley Raaf, Shannon Barrett and Gatti are all capable shooters. It was one of its junior varsity's biggest threats while winning the CHSAA JV title last season.
"Everyone is shooting 3s, even people you wouldn't expect," Nuss said.
Chris the King was without Butigian, who can also knock down the trey, for last year's postseason because of a broken hand. A lot is expected of her as the team's only true post player to begin the year.
Kollyns Scarbrough, a 5-foot-11 wing, could add an athletic presence in the paint and Ashika Kuruvilla, a 6-foot-1 junior transfer from India, is expected to improve and contribute as the year goes on. Mackey's daughter Kerry will also see time when she returns from a broken bone in her foot.
This group, especially its veterans, enters the season with something to prove. Christ the King for the first time in nearly three decades ended the season without a championship. Nazareth won the CHSAA Brooklyn/Queens regular season and diocesan title. CK lost in the Brooklyn/Queens semifinals to Mary Louis and then in the Catholic state final to Nazareth.
Mackey said he can't get this team out of the gym, even when he offers them days off. Everyone in Middle Village is excited about the potential for this team, but they understand the work it's going to take to accomplish what they want.

In Memoriam, Former President and Long-Time Member of ASIS&T Charles H. Davis
Charles H. Davis, 82
Charles Hargis Davis ("Charlie," "Chuck," "Dave") died peacefully at home in Bloomington on September 24, 2020. Born in Tell City, Indiana, and raised in Indianapolis, he was the son of Charles Alban Davis and Ruth Hargis Davis. Charles was a graduate of Shortridge High School in Indianapolis, where he was Captain of the Band under James B. Calvert.
Charles earned a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry at Indiana University with a combined minor in math and physics. He prized his experience as an undergrad working in Professor Marvin Carmack's lab.
Charles subsequently won a fellowship to study a year of postgraduate chemistry at the University of Munich, developing his knowledge and appreciation of the German language – an affection he shared with German Table/Stammtisch discussions in Bloomington years later. Returning to the U.S. at about the time the Berlin Wall was constructed (not, he said, to keep him out), he served for three years with the American Chemical Society as an index editor for Chemical Abstracts. He became a specialist in the nomenclature of organic compounds and lived through the transition from manual to computerized production of CA.
Charles returned to graduate school at Indiana University, receiving a graduate minor in toxicology. He worked in Robert Forney's lab and enjoyed telling the next generation of his work on the analysis of Tetrahydrocannabinol. He earned an M.A. majoring in library science en route to a Ph.D. in information science, specializing in computer programs dealing with chemical information retrieval.
The Drexel University Graduate School of Library Science in Philadelphia hired Charles as an assistant professor in 1969. Three years later the University of Michigan School of Library Science at Ann Arbor sought to strengthen their information science program and hired him as an associate professor with tenure. He then moved to the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, as Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Library Science. In 1979 he was recruited as Dean of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he was one of the few administrators to be among the professors highly ranked by U of I students.
After retiring as Professor Emeritus from the University of Illinois in 1993, Charles had the good sense to become a Senior Fellow and Adjunct Professor at Indiana University's School of Library and Information Science (subsequently the School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering) and a full member of the IU Graduate Faculty. He and then-graduate student Geoff McKim implemented the "Systematic WEighting and Ranking (SWEAR)" algorithm for weighted term retrieval, a long-time focus for Charles' interest in improving information retrieval.
Charles was an active member of the American Society for Information Science and was elected national president of that organization, serving from 1982-1983. His two books with James E. Rush, Information Retrieval and Documentation in Chemistry, and Guide to Information Science, were foundational for the study of information science. He and Debora Shaw co-edited the collaboratively-written Introduction to Information Science and Technology, published for the American Society for Information Science and Technology.
Charles enjoyed playing tennis and was an accomplished amateur clarinetist who performed professionally in his younger years. He played both clarinet and baritone saxophone with the Barton Rogers Dance Band in Indianapolis and was a charter member of the Indianapolis Symphonic Band. He also played with the Indianapolis Philharmonic Orchestra, the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra, and the Community Chamber Music Association of Bloomington. Most recently he enjoyed being Concertmaster and solo clarinetist with the Bloomington Community Band and its Heritage Hall Ramblers Dixieland band and Hungry Five German band.
Charles Davis is survived by his wife, Debora (Ralf) Shaw, and their pre-(and post-)possessing cat, Kit. A committed scientist, Charles has generously donated his body to the Anatomical Education Program at the Indiana University School of Medicine. There will be no services. Memorial contributions may be made to any of the musical organizations mentioned; to the Charles A. and Charles H. Davis Fellowship in Scientific Information 0370008438 at the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, c/o IU Foundation, P.O. Box 6460, Indianapolis, IN 462020-6460; or a charity of one's choice.

@Bayou Music Center
Tickets to Bayou Music Center via ticketliquidator.com (Click Here)
This weekend its Durk Derrick Banks professionally known as Lil Durk from Chicago, Illinois at Live Nation's Bayou Music Center in Bayou Place in downtown Houston. Durk is the lead member and founder of the collective and record label Only the Family (OTF).
(From All Music.com) One of the preeminent rappers from the South Side of Chicago, Lil Durk set himself apart as a teenager in the early 2010s by tempering his raw lyricism with pop appeal -- an approach that has proven to be influential in his hometown and subsequent distant scenes indebted to the city's innovative drill movement. Durk has followed numerous mixtape releases through his Only the Family label/collective by affiliating with assorted major labels, boosting his commercial exposure with consistent high placements on the Billboard 200. His albums range from 2015's Remember My Name (which featured his first RIAA-certified gold single "Like Me") and 2019's Love Songs 4 the Streets 2 to 2020's The Voice, the latter of which was his third straight Top Ten entry. Among the dozens of tracks on which Durk is featured is Drake's "Laugh Now Cry Later" (also 2020), a number two pop hit nominated for two Grammys: Best Rap Song and Best Melodic Rap Performance. A subsequent collaborative album with Lil Baby, The Voice of the Heroes (2021), went straight to number one, as did his 2022 album 7220.
Born Durk D. Banks, Lil Durk grew up in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago's South Side. The rapper/singer started issuing mixtapes through his collective OTF (Only the Family) in August 2011 with I'm a Hitta and quickly followed it with I'm Still a Hitta (April 2012) and Life Ain't No Joke (October 2012), the latter of which came out just after the typically melodic and kicked-back "L's Anthem," his debut single for Def Jam. The same year, he was featured on a string of tracks with fellow Chicago natives and close associates like Lil Reese, Fredo Santana, and Chief Keef. "Dis Ain't What U Want," his second Def Jam single, was released in May 2013, just before his affiliation with French Montana's Coke Boys was made official. ( . . more @All Music.com click here)
America in Concert
America, the perennial classic-rock favorite, is continuing to celebrate its 50th Anniversary with their powerful performances. Founding members, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell (along with former band mate, the late Dan Peek) met in high school in London in the late 1960s and quickly harmonized their way to the top of the charts on the strength of their signature song "A Horse With No Name." This weekend they're at Miller Outdoor Theatre.
America became a global household name and paved the way with an impressive string of hits following the success of their first #1 single. Forty plus years later, these friends are still making music together, touring the world and thrilling audiences with their timeless sound.
America's journey has found them exploring a wide variety of musical terrain. Their best-known tunes, which also include "I Need You," "Ventura Highway," "Don't Cross The River," "Tin Man," "Lonely People," and "Sister Golden Hair" were cornerstones of 1970's Top 40 and FM rock radio. Yet beyond their impressive catalog of hits, listeners would discover there was always much more to America than surface perceptions. The combination of Gerry Beckley's melodic pop rock and Dewey Bunnell's use of folk-jazz elements, slinky Latin-leaning rhythms and impressionistic lyric imagery contrasted well with Dan Peek's more traditional country-rock leanings and highly
America's albums–six certified gold and/or platinum, with their first greatest hits collection, History, hitting four plus million in sales–displayed a fuller range of the trio's talents than did their singles. Their material encompassed an ambitious artistic swath; from effects-laden rockers to oddballmedleys to soul-bearing ballads, America displayed a flawless blend of disparate genres and styles as wide-open as the great American plains.
Enjoying massive success early in their career, America earned their stripes as musical soldiers on the battlefield amidst the excess, craziness and chaos of the 70's. The trio won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1972 and began working with George Martin and Geoff Emerick in 1974. This successful team went on to record seven albums and several Top Ten hits, including "Tin Man," "Sister Golden Hair" and "Lonely People."

House of Blues Houston Tickets and Performance Times Weekends and Week Days (Click Here)
This weekend its Saba at Live Nation's House of Blues in GreenStreet in downtown Houston. Saba initially gained recognition after releasing two independent mixtapes: GETCOMFORTable and ComfortZone. He was also featured on Chance the Rapper's mixtape Acid Rap, in the song "Everybody's Something", and in 2015, Saba and Chance the Rapper collaborated on the song "Angels".
Saba ft. Krayzie Bone - Come My Way
(From Andy Kellman @All Music.com) Chicago-born rapper/producer Saba writes hopeful yet realistic lyrics which address inner-city problems and political matters as well as spiritual concerns, mortality, and his own loss and grief. Saba's contributions to Chance the Rapper songs like 2013's "Everybody's Something" and 2015's "Angels" showcased his range as both a rapper and vocalist and paved the way for his introspective debut studio album, Bucket List Project, in 2016. The loss of a close family member inspired 2018's Care for Me, a tragically beautiful album that explored death, mourning, and life after losing a loved one. On 2022's Few Good Things, he grapples with the effects of his own success. He's also issued songs with artists like Mick Jenkins, Denzel Curry, and Xavier Omär, in addition to releasing an album with his Pivot Gang collective and forming the supergroup Ghetto Sage with Noname and Smino.
Saba (Tahj Malik Chandler) grew up on the West Side of Chicago, specifically within the Austin neighborhood, as part of a deeply musical family. That's also where he formed Pivot Gang, a group of longtime associates that has featured, among others, his brother Jerrel (aka Joseph Chilliams), cousin Walter Long (aka John Walt), Logan Yutters (aka MFn Melo), Frsh Waters, and DJ Damnage. Saba recorded several solo mixtapes -- his first were issued while he was an introverted high-schooler -- and gained traction with ComfortZone, a 2014 release inspired by his father's neo-soul recordings that capitalized on his contributions to awareness-raising tracks by fellow Chicagoans Chance the Rapper and Mick Jenkins. In 2015, Saba appeared as featured artist on several cuts, including Chance's "Angels," Jenkins' "Slumber," and Odd Couple's "What Kings Do." Additionally, he released the reflective Tink collaboration "Temporary," one of his most commercial songs to date. ( . . .more @All Music.com Click Here)

Government has credible information that the terror attack in Pathankot was hatched by some elements in Pakistan, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said.
NEW DELHI: Government has credible information that the terror attack in Pathankot was hatched by some elements in Pakistan, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said today.
"We have credible information that this attack was sponsored by some elements across the border," Rijiju, Minister of State for Home, told reporters here.
Rijiju said central security agencies were working in close coordination with Punjab Police in the entire operation to eliminate the terrorists, who attacked an Indian Air Force base.
In a pre-dawn attack, a group of heavily-armed Pakistani terrorists, suspected to be belonging to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed, struck at an Air Force base in Punjab, leading to a fierce gun-battle in which three security personnel were killed.
Four attackers were also killed in the encounter.

Are re-cut diamonds OK?
Thread starter Toughguy
First, this is a fantastic website and forum. What a great source of information. My question:
I am considering a diamond that has been re-cut. The seller (whom I trust) has told me it was re-cut to achieve ideal proportions, as opposed to repairing a chip. Its original cut was too deep but was cut right above a weight-break, so they knocked off 15-20 points to get it to ideal proportions. (from say 2.09 ct to 1.92 ct).
(a) Is this re-cut diamond considered flawed, even though it's a relatively good price? In other words is this like a "refurbished" diamond? Or is this entirely normal for many diamonds?
(b) If in the future my soon-to-be-wife and I had it re-appraised or re-graded, would the appraiser be readily able to tell if it has been re-cut? (the GIA cert doesn't say "re-cut")
The most important thing to me is getting the perfect diamond for her; I think she would love everything else about this diamond.

Btw, I like your name Toughguy
I'm Toughdog then, [/u][/u]
I had a diamond re-cut to ideal proportions and I am delighted with it. There is a jeweler's web site out there that portrays a re-cut diamond as, well, recycled. Don't fall for that. Both the grading laboratory and your independent appraiser are interested in what your diamond is now. It's having been cut from a larger stone is of no interest.

Sarah believes that theatre is a great and powerful force. She strives to create a space that works with the performance and performers and transports the audience into a new world and hopefully a change in thinking. She enjoys working with creative minds and collaborative souls. She also enjoys the challenge brought on by found spaces and non-traditional theatre, and wants to continue to sculpt and push the boundaries of theatre and performance. Recent credits include Once Upon A Frost (Festival Place); Macbeth (Malachite Theatre); Shakespeare's Will (Thou Art Here Theatre); Three Mysterious Women (Stagelab); All Proceeds Go To: (Fringe Festival); Last Chance Leduc (Snowflake Productions, Set Design); Cleave (Tiny Bear Jaws); All Fall Down (University of Alberta); and Twelfth Night (Malachite Theatre).
