WINGATE, N.M. – The Fighting Scouts (4-5) of Window Rock, crossed the border into New Mexico to play an interstate basketball game with the Bears of Wingate (0-1). This game was a season opener for the Bears and was won by the Window Rock Scouts, 63 – 46.
"We are going to come out, run our offense and defense in the opening half," said Window Rock Coach Tom Bizardi. "Then we will make some adjustments in the second half and see how the game plays out."
The Bears were the first to score with Bear point guard Kevine Belone connecting on an NBA three point basket sending the home crowd Bear fans into a frenzy.
The Fighting Scouts then scored with a basket by junior Cauy Silversmith and an old fashion three point play by Caden Bia with an assist by Marion Ynunza. The Scouts then led 5 – 3, early in the opening quarter.
With this mini run the Scouts were able to take the lead for the rest of the game.
Window Rock outscored Wingate the rest of quarter and led 18 – 8, as the first quarter ended.
The Scouts continued to dominate the game, outscoring the Bears in second frame, 11 – 5 and led at intermission break, 29 – 13.
Wingate's Belone hit 5 three points in the first half and Window Rock Coach Bizardi assigned a lankier Scout to defend him.
The Scouts' Isaiah Begay made a two point basket that ignited a 15 – 0 run, in the third quarter, the Scout enjoyed a comfortable lead, 46 – 23.
Both teams, substituted freely giving nonstarter some playing time and gaining valuable game time experience. Window Rock traded baskets with the host in the final quarter. The final score of 63 – 46 was in the Fighting Scouts' favor.
"We are in the midst of understanding to run our offense," Bizardi said. "We run our offense, then our defense kicks in. We are trying to understand ourselves and see what we are doing during our pre-season games. We should be ready when we begin playing district games."
Sophomer Trajon Bizardi scored a team high of 18 points and Senior Marion Ynunza added 11 points, to the winning score for the Scouts.
"Window Rock Scouts were a polished team – tonight, they were better shooters and ball handlers," said the Wingate coach. "We play better teams in pre-season to makes us better and get us ready for our district games. Overall, I am happy. We learned and saw some good things that we can work on."

One of the most popular fruits (yes, fruits – not vegetables!) to grow in all of North America, tomatoes are incredibly easy to grow! But, with hundreds of varieties to choose from, the task can seem a little daunting. The trick here is to know what you're looking to eat. Smaller tomatoes tend to be sweeter, whereas larger ones typically have a bit more tang and are made for stacking on sandwiches and burgers.
Once you've picked your type, all you need to worry about is picking the right plant. Look for tomato plants that are stocky. If they're floppy or pale green when you pick them up, put 'em down and keep walking!
Tomatoes are sun lovers and should be planted somewhere they get at least 6 hours of full sun – or at least somewhere where they will see the afternoon sun. They do particularly well in containers or raised beds, where the soil will always drain well.
As much as we hate when the wind whips around our hair and clothes, tomatoes hate it twice as much without any bones holding them together. If you have a spot in your yard that's got a little more wind protection, they'll definitely appreciate it. The best real estate is near a light-colored, south-facing wall that they can sunbathe against all day.
Nobody likes going about their day with water in their shoes, including tomatoes. Check to see if your soil is well draining by pouring some water on the surface to see how long it takes to drain. If it takes a while or just sits there in a puddle, you'll want to amend the soil with high-quality compost to open it up a bit. For the best performance, you'll want evenly moist conditions and regular feeding with an organic, slow-release fertilizer like Fox Farms Tomato and Veg or MicroLife ultimate.
While we may get worried that our transplanted plants won't root into the soil, tomatoes are actually known for their ability to sprout roots wherever the soil touches their stem – making them an easy fit. To make the most of your plant, you'll want to bury about one-third of the plant, so long as it doesn't require taking off too many stems.
You'll know your tomatoes are ready for harvest when they are a nice, juicy red that looks good enough to eat. If you're working with a variety with a unique color, though, like orange or yellow, you'll just want to ensure they reach an even coloring. They should also be nice and firm to the touch. Snap them off the stem, leaving an inch or two intact, and enjoy!
Many people picking out tomatoes for the first time are often left baffled and confused when confronted with one of the most common tomato questions: determinate or indeterminate tomatoes. What's the difference?
Well, these terms are actually pretty simple. They're just talking about the plant's growth habits. Determinate tomatoes are those that don't need pruning and pinching, and tend to grow in a bushy shape, these are more of your saucing varieties like Roma and San Marzano. Determinate varieties set a lot of tomatoes all at once so there's enough to process and store. Indeterminate tomatoes, like Beefmaster, Early Girl, and Sweet Million varieties, usually grow taller and need staking and pinching. They may require more work, but they will set fruit throughout the season.
Possibly the most popular tomatoes we see here in Houston, heirlooms are old-fashioned classics that have seen a rejuvenation of popularity in recent years. They offer just the most sensational flavor and you can even keep their seeds to grow new plants again next year, where hybrids often don't reproduce well from seed.
Whether you're a plucking them off the vine to pop in your mouth, chopping them into salads, or adding them to your sandwiches, sauces, or dips, everyone loves a good tomato. And if you're looking forward to enjoying them fresh from your garden this season, the time is ripe to be getting them in the ground. Stop by our garden center today and find your perfect fit for your best summer dishes ever! Don't wait or it will be too late!!! No worries though, in Houston we get a second chance with a Fall planting in August.

I spoke to my mum, can you do an appointment on sat 3rd or sun 4th?
Thanks, I can't do Saturday as I already have things booked but can do the Sunday morning if that's possible? 9.30 or 10am at the latest. Would that work for you and your mum?


I got a book out of the library on gluten-free baked breads, not because of the gluten free bit, but because it covered the problem of getting around NOT using normal wheat flour.
They even found the the water's hardness affects the dough (hard water retards the yeast & softened water makes sticky dough).
You can replace dough enhancer (I guess that is the bread improver???) with vinegar if you run out. Suggested adding half to 3/4 teaspoon as a replacement.
Adding xanthan gum to the mix adds 'spring' to the loaf. Suggested half a teaspoon per loaf.
Also mentioned how to fix the problem of 'tough crusts'. Said dairy liquids result in more tender crusts and if you rub the the hot loaves with margerine immediately after turning out of pan helps. Also never leave the bread out after it is cool, always place it in a plastic bag.
They also mentioned that low sugar bread tends to result in a dryer loaf, as does low fat.
To cut fresh bread without crushing it, spray your bread knife lightly with cooking oil.
About the only breads low in carb is 5g per slice which is a walnut bread, other than that they have is bread sticks and pretzel sticks at 5g, 3g per zucchini pancake,1g rice crackers, 1g cheese cracker, 3g per serve quick bread pudding. If any one is interested, I'll give you the book name or type out a few recipes.


Pregnancy can be very exciting – but it can also be a little nerve-wracking!
There's so much to learn and do, it can be overwhelming sometimes. We just want to take good care of ourselves and our babies before the big day, but there's a lot of information out there.
We'd like to help by sharing a few essential, important prenatal care tips that will get you on the right track.
What you eat is very important when it comes to prenatal care. You want nourishment not just for yourself, but for your baby. And since your baby "eats" whatever you eat, you have a responsibility to follow a well-balanced diet.
So, what is a well-balanced diet while pregnant?
This combination will give you the macronutrients and micronutrients you need. But you'll need a lot of micronutrients, which leads us to the next part.
Your micronutrients ideally should come from your main diet. But you might need to supplement in case you don't get the full amount of the vitamins and minerals you need, which is common.
These nutrients are essential, not just for general health, but to also help prevent birth defects. For these reasons, if possible, you should start taking prenatal vitamins three months before conception.
The lifestyle you follow also matters.
For example, you should get around 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise a week. You should drink plenty of water, avoid smoking or drinking alcohol, get plenty of sleep, and consider doing yoga or meditation as a way to control stress levels.
Finally, you need to visit your OB/GYN as often as he or she directs. Don't miss an appointment or a checkup. Follow the schedule and your OB/GYN's advice religiously. They'll help you keep yourself and your baby healthy and can notice any issues as soon as they arise.
Pregnancy is exciting. It can be rewarding and fulfilling. Follow these tips for a better pregnancy!


Just as when you are sore with a tight muscle and apply heat to loosen the tension, the hot stones provided a deeper pressure massage with the use of heat. The stones are heated in a warmer until they are warm to the touch but not too hot, and then they are used to massage you. As always, we encourage our clients to speak up about their preferences when it comes to the temperature of the stones and pressure of the massage.
Each massage therapist tends to have a different technique when it comes to giving any massage, and a hot stone massage is no different. At Carolina Birth and Wellness, we usually spend about 30% of the time using our hands, and about 70% with the stones. This gives us the opportunity to feel your muscles, identity what they need, and then use the stones to provide that relief. Lotion is applied with our hands, and then the lotion that is remaining helps the stones slide smoothly over your skin.
During the massage, we will use stones of vary size to make sure that they fit your body appropriately. This may mean we use larger, round stones for the long strokes on your back and legs, more narrow stones are used to get your neck and arm muscles, and smaller stones are used on your hands and feet. We use Basalt Lava stones because they are smooth and hold heat well. The stones should never feel like they are burning you or too hot. We are trained to know the proper temperature of the stones, but we encourage our clients to tell us their preferences for the temperature before and throughout the massage.
After the massage, we thoroughly clean each stone to continue to provide the highest safety and hygiene standards across the board to all of our clients.
One of the reasons people love hot stones massages is because they are very relaxing. The warmth and feeling of the stones on your body relaxes your body and mind in a way that is not achieved in other massages. Heat is such a wonderful tool to relax tight muscles because it releases tension much more easily.
Furthermore, the addition of heat to a massage increase blood flow to the area that is being worked, thus increasing the temperature inside your body. This is especially wonderful for those who have poor circulation, or on a chilly day, because the warming effects of the massage last much longer than the session.
If you have any doubt about if you should receive a hot stone massage, or a massage in general, we recommend that you speak with your medical team to ensure that you are receiving the best and most safe type of massage for you.
Some people who are more warm natured, do not like the addition of more heat to their bodies. However, we can adjust the temperature of the stones to suit you and your preferences. If you feel like you would want a hot stone massage, but would like the stones to be at a lower heat, please let us know prior to the sessions so we can prepare accordingly.
Book your hot stone massage now! We are excited to see you!

Flex Films Announces Plans for New Film Plant in Kentucky
Flex Films, part of the India-based UFLEX Group, exhibited at Pack Expo International 2012 in October.
The participation was a curtain-raiser to the imminent start-up of their new state-of-the-art Biaxially Oriented Polyester (BOPET) Film plant in Elizabethtown, KY, during the last quarter of 2012.
The new plant will house a new state-of-the-art 8.7 meter-wide BOPET Film line running at 500 meters per minute supplemented by a plasma-enhanced high-barrier metallizer. The film line can turn out 36,000 MT (about 80 million lbs.) of film per year.
According to Pradeep Tyle, CEO of Flex Films, "It is our corporate objective to set up strategically located large film plants as close as possible to large film markets so that our valued customers can source just-in-time supplies of freshly manufactured films at seven days notice or less and have technical services available 24/7 next door. Our customers should keep their money in the bank and not tied up in film inventories and warehousing. The USA is the world's largest and most sophisticated film market and what better way to service this market than to commission a film plant that is technologically more up-to-date and larger than any other film line presently operating in this country located right at the heart of this region? Even though we have a large BOPET Film plant located just across the border in Mexico, we want to service our US customers even better by being right in their midst. We have plans to further double film capacity at this plant very soon after its start-up."

Intersectionality Action Plan
WIRE Women's Information
Financially disadvantaged people | Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or intersex persons | Migrants, refugees or asylum seekers | People at risk of homelessness/ people experiencing homelessness | People from a culturally and linguistically diverse background | People with disabilities | Victims of crime (including family violence)
Economic development | Human rights | Human services
Women, nonbinary and gender diverse people will often share with our support workers experiences of feeling excluded, overlooked, devalued and even ignored when accessing supports and services. This highlights a phenomena that is evident throughout the community service delivery system in Australia, which traditionally, has viewed people, and provided services organised in terms of a single attribute or issue. However, we know life is not that singular – we exist in a world in which our experiences are shaped by multiple issues at once, and that diverse individuals will be impacted in unique and specific ways according to their social locations in Australian society.
WIRE stood at the forefront of the shift of traditionally women's organisations towards inclusivity for gender diverse and non- binary service users. Our practice was showcased in Victorian Equal Opportunity Human Rights Commission Guidelines for family violence services and accommodation as a model for compliance with the Equal opportunity Act 2010. WIRE seeks to remain a best practice community services leader. To do this, we need to do the deep de-constructing and re-constructing work needed to shed a light on the obstacles and exclusions we are unwittingly creating, embedding in institutions, and affirming as a society around people's differences that contribute to the feeling of people not belonging. Our answer to this is an Intersectionality Action Plan.
This ground-breaking work will become a critical piece of work strengthening and delivering authentic diversity and help to advocate for an ethical, authentic and diverse future. This project will:
•Enable the Victorian Government to show case WIRE as a case study and leverage recommendations and findings to support other organisations to fully integrate intersectionality into practice.
•Enable WIRE and other organisations in future to gain deep local and contextual knowledge of representation including race, faith, age, disability, sexual orientation, and gender identity and how misrepresentation can contribute to exclusion and inequity
•Improve inclusive practice and inform and infiltrate all elements of organisational strategic planning
•Strengthen organisations' capability to deliver authentic diversity and inclusion
•Improve inclusive practice for users of WIRE creating better outcomes
•Make WIRE an employer of choice for staff and volunteers experience oppressions enabling increased diversity
•Enable WIRE to share learnings and experience with other services wishing to embark on a similar journey to embrace intersectionality inclusivity
We are aware that as a leader in this field, we have a responsibility to work openly and in a way that enables others to benefit from this progressive work. We commit to showcasing intersectional best practice and to leverage this work and share outcomes more broadly to influence broader longer term change by championing the issues and sharing recommendations on how they may be addressed. We will do this purposively with the aim of creating tools and learnings that can be used by other community services that will inevitably want to follow suit.

Sky Cloud app launches as London Eye gets Wi-Fi
By Patrick Goss 2012-04-19T12:19:00.109Z
A nice new service launched
The really remarkable thing about this picture is that this bus is on time
London tourist trap the London Eye has become the latest landmark to be covered by a Wi-Fi network from The Cloud, with the announcement handily coinciding with the launch of Sky's special Wi-Fi app for consumers.
Sky announced that it will be providing its subscribers with access to Wi-Fi hotspots from The Cloud earlier in the month, and the nifty app that means it will automatically connect (none of that pesky user name and password each time) is now here.
And one of the places that Sky customers, The Cloud subscribers and those willing to sign up will be able to access the service is on the London Eye, along with the likes of Pret A Manger, Wetherspoons pubs and Wagamama.
Lyssa McGowan, Director of Communications Products at Sky, comments: "We're delighted to be able to bring the Sky Cloud Wi-Fi app to our customers and extend the Sky TV and unlimited Broadband experience beyond the home.
"We are always working to ensure that Sky customers have more ways to watch content they love, whether a Sky Sports Premier League match or Mad Men.
"With a one-off registration process, they'll automatically connect to the network, which takes all the usual hassle out of connecting to Wi-Fi."
It's a nice app and if you're a Sky subscriber it's actually a bit of a no-brainer given that it allows you a whole host of free Wi-Fi hotspots.

The Royal Society, the world's oldest scientific academy, is leading a cross-cultural effort to survey the state of science in the 57 states of the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC). It will publish its findings in a series of national case reports over the next two years.
The 4 million USD project, called the Atlas of Islamic-World Science & Innovation, entails matching a local expert from an OIC member country with an international scientist. They will work together to compile all available national data, including the impact of research publications, the percentage of GDP spent on research and a profile of the education system.
The open access reports will also rank universities and institutes in the OIC, which do not qualify for global charts. It is hoped that this listing will prompt universities to strive to be the best, thereby helping narrow the gap in science between the West and Islamic countries.
"The reports are one element. We're also trying to create a sense of momentum to take forward ideas and networks that come about from the research," said Natalie Day of the Royal Society's Centre for Research Policy.
These [Atlas] connections provide a platform to reach across cultural divides, which has the power to build trust.
Studies are underway in Egypt, Qatar and Jordan, amongst other countries of the OIC. These involve the Royal Society and Western academics working in partnership with local institutions, including Qatar Foundation in Qatar, the Princess Sumaya University of Technology in Jordan and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt.
"We don't want reports that gather dust in a vault somewhere. This will involve institutions working with the project team and will hopefully spur capacity building," Ehsan Masood, author of the book Science and Islam, told those gathered last week to celebrate the project's launch at the Royal Society in London.
The idea was first conceived in 2006 when Natalie Day and James Wilsdon, read a special news report in Nature on science in Islamic countries. Both were based at Demos, a think tank that released a series of reports called Atlas of Ideas, which assessed the prospects of science and innovation in India, China and Brazil. In 2007, Day and Wilsdon moved to the Royal society and brought the idea of the Atlas with them. It has since gathered momentum with the support of Western organizations and a host of OIC-based institutions.
"Often the process is more important than the product," said Masood, who is also involved in the design of the project. "We didn't want experts flying in and going home, but working together with local experts.
"One important factor is trust and this project aims to address the decline in trust between the two cultures, a factor that influences how scientists work together".
"The only way to tackle this is to build a space for dialogue, and these [Atlas] connections provide a platform to reach across cultural divides, which has the power to build trust", says Martin Davidson of the British Council, a UK public body charged with developing cross-cultural links, which is collaborating in Atlas.
The first report, due for publication in October this year, will cover Malaysia. The series is aimed at a wide audience – including scientists and government officials – and will be written in an easily accessible style. It will be quickly followed by the Pakistan report in December and then Egypt's edition in March next year.
"The idea is not top-down, but to get scientists colliding with each other", said Bruce Alberts, editor-in-chief of Science and one of three envoys deployed by Obama to strengthen ties between scientists in the US and Islamic countries. "This is an exciting prospect to really make a difference".

Achievement and Escapism Can Lead to Online Video Game Addiction | Nutrition Fit
Summary: Achievement motivation is one of the strongest predictors of video game addiction, a new study reports.
Source: University at Buffalo
As online video games increase in popularity—particularly with the COVID-19 pandemic forcing people to stay home—some players are becoming addicted as they seek feelings of achievement and escape, according to new research from the University at Buffalo School of Management.
Recently published in Decision Support Systems, the study found that gamers have a stronger feeling of ownership of the virtual environment compared to other technology users, such as website surfers. This interest in occupying the virtual world can become problematic—even addicting—when coupled with excessive playing time.
"Gaming can be traced throughout human history as a way to help people relax and retreat from daily routines," says Lawrence Sanders, PhD, professor of management science and systems in the UB School of Management. "But the booming popularity of online games has led to an increase in addiction, which can result in players ignoring family and job responsibilities. Severe cases can lead players to crime, health problems or even death."
The researchers surveyed more than 400 undergraduate business students to assess the impact of achievement motivation, social motivation and escapism on the psychological ownership of virtual gaming worlds—and how that relates to online game addiction.
Their results show that while motivations for achievement and escapism predict a gamer's psychological ownership of the virtual world, social motivation does not.
"People looking to socialize take advantage of other options like in-person friendships or social media platforms—they don't rely on the virtual world and gaming to connect with others," says Sanders.

The researchers recommend several strategies to address online game addiction. They say families, communities and universities should encourage outdoor activities, such as sports competitions and offline games, to address the need for achievement and escapism. In addition, parents, teachers and employers should pay attention to individuals who have a high level of primary control—the desire to change their environment and other people to achieve a sense of control—since they can be susceptible to addiction.

Meanwhile, for gamers themselves, the researchers suggest choosing a relatively easy or hard mode rather than an intermediate difficulty when playing. That's because achievement motivation is one of the greatest predictors of online gaming addiction, and since easy modes are not competitive and hard modes are tough to master, they reduce the likelihood of players getting hooked.
Sanders collaborated on the study with lead author Xunyi Wang, PhD, assistant professor of information systems in the Hankamer School of Business at Baylor University, and Mohamed Abdelhamid, PhD, assistant professor of information systems at California State University Long Beach. Wang and Abdelhamid are both UB School of Management doctoral alumni.

"Exploring the effects of psychological ownership, gaming motivations, and primary/secondary control on online game addiction" by Lawrence Sanders et al. Decision Support Systems
Exploring the effects of psychological ownership, gaming motivations, and primary/secondary control on online game addiction
Online gaming has grown to be a very popular electronic entertainment for people throughout the world. However, the burgeoning popularity of online games in some cases leads to addiction, a phenomenon that has received considerable attention.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of psychological ownership, gaming motivation, and primary–secondary control on online game addiction (OGA). Based on 436 valid responses collected from online questionnaires, the partial least squares structural equation modeling approach was employed to test the research model.
Findings show that the motivations of achievement and escapism are positively associated with psychological ownership toward a virtual gaming environment. Of particular interest is the inverted-U relationship between psychological ownership and OGA, suggesting that too little or too much psychological ownership is associated with less OGA.
Finally, individuals with high levels of primary (secondary) control are more (less) inclined to be addicted to online games.
This study provides practical implications and strategies to address the alarming increase in OGA.
First, families, communities, and universities should encourage outdoor activities, such as sports competitions, and offline cosplay games to address the need for achievement and escapism. Second, individuals who play online games for relaxation should choose a relatively easy or hard mode to avoid game addiction. Finally, parents, teachers, and employers are encouraged to pay attention to individuals who have a high level of primary control since they can be susceptible to OGA.
This study provides several theoretical contributions. First, the study enriches OGA and the gaming motivation literature by exploring the roles of gaming motivation, psychological ownership, and personal control strategies as they can be a factor in OGA.
In addition, this study is the first to investigate the dark side of psychological ownership in terms of negative outcomes for OGA. This study also advances the personal control strategy literature by understanding the roles of primary and secondary control on OGA.
