Saturday night in Austin and the crisp night air was buzzing with anticipation. Blue October was here at Stubb's winding down the second leg of their "I Want it Tour" and the fans were ready. Many down front had followed the band for this entire leg – and at least a couple were planning on following them to Europe. Make no mistake, Blue October fans are serious. And if you've had the chance to see the band live, then you understand why.
From the first note of "The Still" to the final ringing notes of "Things We Do at Night," frontman Justin Furstenfeld strutted, danced, crouched, mugged for the cameras and directly interacted with his audience. And by directly I mean jumping off of the stage and onto the pit barricade, getting IN with the fans. He hugged them. He kissed heads. He reached out and grabbed hands. He sang with them. He CONNECTED with them in a way that few performers could ever dream of. Justin appreciates his fans. The joy on his face was unmistakable. This was no schtick.
Every member of Blue October is a force to be reckoned with onstage. The band feeds off of the crowd, and the energy and emotion that they bring to the stage are second to none. Jeremy Furstenfeld held down the rhythm solid and heavy drumming that never let up. Matt Noveskey on bass and Matthew Ostrander on guitar traversed the stage so many times I would almost bet they wore a groove in the concrete. And every time I looked at Ryan Delahoussaye he was playing a different instrument, effortlessly jumping from keyboards to mandolin and to the violin.
Highlights of the evening included the spoken word intro for "Into the Ocean" where Justin held court to a silent Stubb's audience that exploded into a singing frenzy when the song kicked in and a stirring acoustic version of one of their biggest hits "Hate Me" to start the encore set that brought new meaning to audience participation .
Sure, with a career spanning over 20 years, they are seasoned performers, and Justin certainly knows how to work a crowd. But what makes this band unique is their honesty. With songs and lyrics that emanate from real life experience, Justin sings from his heart. Whether he is screaming lyrical pain or softly letting the melody shine, you feel what he is feeling. You are sucked into the Blue October vortex and happily follow as a willing participant.
Opening the show was local Austin electronic group Missio. From the first moment that the bearded duo of Matthew Brue and David Butler, along with drummer Jaydon Bean, hit the stage until the last electro-note faded out, the energy was amazing. Jumping and dancing, singing and rapping, these guys brought a party that I don't think many were expecting. And no one was complaining.
Highlights included Austin Hip Hop artist Zeale joining them for "KDV" with its incessant chant of "Killing Darth Vader with my motherfuckin' kick drum" and their sleeper hit "Middle Fingers" that had the audience flipping the bird to the skies and reciting the sing-song melody of the tagline. These guys have a fresh sound and a killer live show and it is going to be fun to watch them progress.


Falling in love can be so easy -- and wonderful. But what if the timing is really, really bad?
Screenwriter/director Neel Upadhye, a 2004 Foothill High grad, explores this idea in his film, "Dating Daisy," which will be screened for friends and family in Beverly Hills on Nov. 7. The non-traditional romantic comedy follows two passionate exes who secretly decide to give it one last shot.
Upadhye, who is just turning 30, drew on his experiences in his 20s to write the screenplay.
"I was forced to look very critically at my own relationships and things I had messed up and things I'd been blind to," Upadhye said. "It was fantastic therapy writing it."
In the screenplay, he also used his experience and observations about family dynamics.
"The thing I discovered in getting so specific about experiences that I've had, beautiful and painful experiences, it became universal," he said. "People have told me, 'That's my mom,' 'I've dated that girl,' or 'I've been that girl.'"
Upadhye made Michael, the male lead, Jewish to get away from his own specifics.
"I think a little bit of separation is good because it allows the characters to become themselves instead of me," he said.
Michael (Brennan Kelleher) is ambitiously pursuing a high-tech career in Los Angeles, and Daisy (Sascha Alexander) is an adventurous spirit who wants a job that actually matters, regardless of personal cost. When Daisy's car breaks down, Michael agrees to drive her to the Santa Barbara suburbs for Thanksgiving with their respective families.
"There's a pretty unique structure for a romantic film," Upadhye noted. "I separate them, then they drive back at the end of film. You can see how their time with their families has changed them and is going to impact their relationship. Michael and Daisy have the perfect, best of relationships with the worst of timing."
A great part of working on this project, Upadhye said, was collaborating with two Foothill friends, singer/songwriter Melissa Harding, who wrote original songs for the film, and Alex Backes, now a professional actor and writer, who has a part in the movie.
"We've stuck together throughout our professional careers," Upadhye said.
He and Backes are also creators of a TV comedy pilot, "Shark Bites," which they developed with another classmate, Cody Williams, about a young guy whose hipster roommate happens to be a shark (played by a puppet).
After Foothill, Upadhye attended USC School of Cinematic Arts, and since graduation has been a film and commercial director and editor. He has made TV spots and trailers for Nike and Coca-Cola, and he has created live action and visual effects for critically acclaimed video games.
Upadhye was born in India and moved to Iowa before locating to Pleasanton halfway through his freshman year. At Foothill High he found creative soulmates, including Harding, Backes and Williams. They performed together in the school's production of "Grease" and the choir led by JoAnn Koobatian, whom he credits for inspiring them in the theater arts. Koobatian died in 2013 of a rare cancer at the age of 47.
Upadhye knew in high school he wanted to become a filmmaker.
"'Lord of the Rings' was a turning point for me," he remembered. "I wrote in my application to USC about the 'Lord of the Rings' and thinking that the lives of those filmmakers were more fantastic than the fantasy characters."
Upadhye, who had already written three other feature-length screenplays, was amazed by how quickly "Dating Daisy" came together.
"I started writing the script in December 2013. By March I had the first draft, and we put together a table read of it," he said. "The reaction was really, really strong, and we decided we should make this thing."
They went into development, started casting and by late September had enough funding, mainly raised online, to begin filming.
"We started shooting Oct. 30 last year, and it was in the can by Dec. 15, 2014," Upadhye recalled. "The fun thing is everyone is a professional in their own right and had other things going on."
Upadhye works as brand creative lead for Starwars Video Games at EA.
"I was in the office three days a week, then out shooting for four days a week. There was definitely a period in there where I thought I had lost it, but when everything was wrapped up, it was the best day of my life," he said. "I am lucky to be at a company that rewards and honors creativity."
Then began the technical work and editing, creating the trailer, promotions and another campaign of online fundraising. That $20,000, a goal just reached Oct. 10, will go toward marketing and entry into film festivals for exposure, including the Slamdance in Park City, Utah, in January.
The movie was made on a shoestring, Upadhye said, albeit with a professional cast and crew. Tanner and Chase Boyajian of Dark Burn Media donated the use of its equipment, and Upadhye's team was able to negotiate with the actors union regarding salaries.
"The main reason the actors did it was because they were attracted to the story," Upadhye said, noting they were experienced pros, some who have been stars of TV shows.
"It's a symbiotic thing," he said. "They get to dig into material that speaks to them, flush out the character, own that process. I get amazing, talented actors."
A local contingent will be heading down to the Ahrya Fine Arts Cinema in Beverly Hills in early November to see the first screening of "Dating Daisy," the work of Pleasanton sons and daughters. Hopefully the rest of us will be able to enjoy it someday, too.
See the trailer for "Dating Daisy" at www.datingdaisy.com. More information about the production and its journey for funding can be found at www.facebook.com/datingdaisy.

Posted Thursday, January 10, 2019 12:33 pm
Phil and Lesa Major are the new owners of the Wood County Monitor.
(Monitor photo by Sam Major)
The Wood County Monitor has been purchased by Phil and Lesa Major.
The Majors took over operations on Jan. 1 and plan to become residents of the community as soon as possible.
Phil will be the publisher while Lesa will be the business manager, and their son, Sam, will have responsibilities including graphic design, photography and technology.
The Majors have previously owned The Clay County Leader in Henrietta, Texas and most recently worked for The Kaufman Herald.
"We are excited to return to community newspaper ownership," Phil Major said. "And we are especially excited to be in Wood County, an area we have been visiting for many years."
Major's father purchased property in the area more than 25 years ago, and the Majors have traveled there numerous times as well as taken in many of the local sights and events.
"Wood County is a vibrant place with many activities, active groups and lots of signs of progress," Major said.
"We can't wait to become involved."
The Majors will be operating the Wood County Monitor independently, and it will be their only publication.
"We are well aware of the great history of the Monitor and have known many of the fine folks who have worked here over the years," Major said. "We plan to work hard to continue those traditions and make sure that Wood County has the kind of quality newspaper it deserves.
"We have a great staff at the Monitor and appreciate their dedication to the communities and to producing a first-rate community newspaper," he added.
The Majors have been active in the Texas Press Association and the North and East Texas Press Association, where Major has served as president as well as other roles.
They have also been active in civic and church groups and other organizations.
"Please stop by and say hello, and please be patient for a few weeks as we make the transition back to local ownership," Major said.

What's in a name? A lot, according to traders of Delhi's iconic Khan Market
Shalini Umachandran in Mint:
In the two decades that Sanjiv Mehra has been president of the Khan Market Traders' Association, he has faced a few struggles to retain the character of the tony market in south Delhi. Now, the association has prepared a letter and plans to meet home minister Amit Shah in case there's an attempt to change its name.
"I don't want to take any chances. Khan Market is known worldwide for its real estate value, our history links us to the freedom struggle and we are a symbol of people who worked hard to build something from scratch," says Mehra, who runs Allied Stores in the market, which is listed among the world's priciest commercial real estate locations. Mehra's father, a refugee from Lahore, was allotted shop 10-B in 1950 and ran Elite Departmental Store, which the family turned into a toy and party needs store in 1975.
More than two weeks after Prime Minister Narendra Modi made liberal use of the term "Khan Market gang" in an interview to describe a clique of entrenched power, influence and intellectual tradition, the hashtags and comments haven't gone away. One Bharatiya Janata Party worker wrote to the home ministry suggesting that the upscale market's name be changed to "Valmiki Market".
"I'm sure wisdom will prevail, as it has whenever we've met the government," Mehra says, detailing the association's struggles with infrastructure management. A few years ago, they went up against Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who registered "Khan Market" as a web portal. "He was reasonable and didn't pursue it after we spoke to him," he says.
"Khan Market gang" as a descriptor for those with pedigree and privilege resonated even with those unfamiliar with the market that's a few metres from the homes of some of Delhi's most powerful, many of whom have inherited their influence. Within about 3km of the market are the colonial bungalows of ministers, judges and senior bureaucrats; the expansive buildings and lawns of Lutyens' Delhi; and some of the most expensive private homes as well as cultural centres such as India Habitat Centre and India International Centre, and embassies and luxury hotels of Lodhi Estate, Amrita Shergil Marg, Pandara Road and Sujan Singh Park.

London is booming- so much in fact that estimates show the city will need to provide enough housing for almost 100,000 people every year up to 2016. Rather than grow out, architects have come up with a radical idea- grow up. It's called the New Town Tower. The idea is to put 100,000 people inside a single tower, complete with parks, public squares, schools and hospitals.
The New Town Tower will be as high as the clouds- literally. Plans have the tower reaching 1500 meters high. The architects behind the concept and design are Popularchitecture of London . They say the tower allows for a massive intensification of the city without the need for dramatic alteration of London's existing fabric. London's well-known parks and open spaces will be preserved while satisfying the need for development.
The tower really will be a city within a city. A single floor will hold 600 people. A "village" will encompass 20 floors and have about six-thousand residents. The tower is then divided into three "super-districts" of 33,000 people. Each "super-district" would have democratically elected representatives in local government and the entire tower would have one representative in the houses of parliament.
Architects would plan to build the tower in stages, twenty stories at a time. That way it can be inhabited while it's being built. The goal is to reduce movement throughout London by condensing living, working, and entertainment facilities within a single location.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems Advisory Group (UAS-AG)
The Unmanned Aircraft Systems Advisory Group (UAS-AG), established in 2015 to support the Secretariat in developing guidance material and expedite the development of provisions to be used by States to regulate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), with its industry and international partners, as well as the Member States, has been instrumental in providing support to the global aviation safety collaboration.
The 39th Assembly, held from 27 September to 7 October 2016 requested that ICAO develop a global baseline of provisions and guidance material for the proper harmonization of regulations on UAS that remain outside of the international instrument flight rules (IFR) framework. This request was based on three factors: the need to maintain safety for manned aircraft; the desire for harmonization of domestic UAS regulations; and the need for assurance from the leading global aviation standards-making body that the best options for UAS operations were being considered and recommended.
In order to accomplish this new tasking, the UAS‑AG began a second, larger phase of work (Phase II). The UAS-AG continues to serve as a technical body, working under the management of the ICAO Secretariat. It has reviewed and assessed submissions from States, industry and academia to ICAO's Requests for Information (RFIs) in both 2017 and 2018. Based upon the assessments, ICAO invited various submitters, which best addressed the various problem statements in the respecive RFI, to present their information to a global audience at DRONE ENABLE, ICAO's Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Industry Symposia in 2017 and 2018. The most recent RFI was disemminated in March 2019, the selected results of which will be shared at DRONE ENABLE/3 Symposium, Montréal, Canada 12 to 14 November 2019.
The UAS-AG Phase II will support the Secretariat in guiding ICAO Member States with establishing a common global framework for, and core boundaries of, unmanned aircraft system traffic management (UTM), in order to allow further UTM developments to focus on better defined issues, whether technical, operational or legal.

Ranking the top 5 moments from "Riverdale" season 3 episode 18: "She's her Father's Daughter"
Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the CW's Riverdale season 3 episode 18, the Invasion of the Body Snatchers drama continued, as some of our favorite characters dove deeper into trouble. Whether they were looking for answers or comfort, darkness is never too far away in Riverdale. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night's episode, "Chapter Fifty-Three: Jawbreaker," Jughead works with FP to investigate the town's latest murder. Meanwhile, Betty tries to get through to Alice, Toni worries about Cheryl's involvement in the Farm, and Archie is up for a rematch with Veronica's full support. My top 5 moments from Riverdale season 3 episode 18 are:
"I felt reborn."
In the beginning of the episode, Betty continues her conversation with Edgar Evernever, who begins to reveal more about himself. Edgar explains that he previously felt lost and found himself on a farm, which made him want to recreate that feeling of being reborn with his own farm. Betty recognizes that it sounds like a nice story and all, but she is not buying it whatsoever. Edgar does not reveal anything about how Cheryl and Alice are seeing their dead relatives, as he vaguely explains that they are discovering the best versions of themselves. Betty refuses to let Edgar turn everything around on her and decides to get through to her mother once and for all.
"I'm always in your corner…"
Archie feels very passionate about honoring Baby Teeth's death and Veronica works with him to get their gym, the El Royale, in the spotlight. Elio agrees to let Archie have a rematch against Randy, but decides to dose him with "G," which is some kind of bad batch of fizzle rocks that apparently turns people into zombies. Not really, but the foaming at the mouth and the extreme behavior sort of had me thinking along those lines. I mean, they are only a town away from Sabrina and Greendale so anything is possible.
Archie is able to knock Randy out, but the drugs may have actually done a lot of damage, as Randy is not waking up yet. Even though the fight was entertaining, I was more interested in the lingering stare between Archie and Veronica. Is there hope for Varchie? It looks that way and even Josie notices that Veronica certainly didn't hold back when she purchased Archie some new attire for the fight.
"You're a daughter who wants her mother back just like I want my girlfriend back."
Finally someone else notices what is going on with the Farm! After Cheryl trades in her signature red for a white ensemble, Toni is beyond concerned about her. Toni approaches Betty, who fills her in on what she knows so far. Toni continues to try and get through to Cheryl, but Evelyn has other plans. Evelyn confronts Toni and Toni tells her, "Bitch I love her and she loves me." Seriously Evelyn, you better watch out. Evelyn proves to be manipulative and conniving, as she tells Cheryl that she needs to choose between Toni and Jason. Toni says that there has to be another way and begins her own runway walk down the halls sporting some white attire.
I was a little worried that we had lost our girl Toni to the Farm as well, but she is undercover, still working with Betty. I have to say that I really enjoyed the interactions between Betty and Toni in this episode. We don't typically see too much between these two, but they both have a common goal now and I'm interested to see them continue to work together to bring down the Farm for good.
"I will kill you…"
After crossing Toni, Evelyn makes the mistake of confronting Betty. Betty has had enough and slams Evelyn against a locker and threatens her. Go Betty! She tells her that she sees right through her and wants her to stop messing with her and her family. Betty doesn't want to give up on her mother and even resorts to kidnapping her and keeping her in Dilton's bunker. It seems a bit extreme, but Betty will do anything for her mother. Betty tells Alice, "The past is part of who you are," but Alice doesn't seem to want to remember the pain. Alice even begins burning the old photos that Betty shows her and Betty comes to the realization that she may need to let her mother go after all.
After listening to one of the tapes, Betty hears her mother's thoughts on her, recognizing the same darkness in Betty that she saw in Hal. Betty continues to confide in her father about everything, but now he wants a favor in return. He's ready to return home, but I'm not really sure how that would work. I mean, you don't just get to leave prison and all. Betty is continuously pushed again and again, but will this release the darkness within her or will she channel her love for her friends and family?
"Save the little princess."
After Jughead and FP catch Kurtz, Kurtz continues to be overly creepy and tells Jughead that "Baby Teeth was only the warm up to the ultimate quest." He further explains that there is still one final game for Jughead and his family and we cut to Jellybean being brought to the Gargoyle King. I have so many questions here. Now that we have been focusing on the Farm so much, the Gargoyle King has taken a back seat, but it looks like he or she is done hiding in the shadows. However, why is the Gargoyle King so interested in the Jones family? Is there a connection between the Gargoyle King and Gladys? We know that she is controlling the drug trade, but is she somehow pulling the Gargoyle King's strings as well. I previously thought that Hermione could be the woman behind the mask, but I'm not really sure what she would get out of hurting the Jones family.
There are a lot more players now and it's difficult to determine who is the true Gargoyle King. Jughead also previously thought that perhaps Baby Teeth was murdered by a copy cat killer. Baby Teeth clearly struggled and he had a matchbook stuck in his throat from the Maple Club, which also potentially incriminates Penelope Blossom. We know that there is a connection between the Gargoyle King and the Midnight club from so many years ago, but what is the real motive here? If the Jones family is at the center of it, we need to carefully look at all of their potential allies and enemies. It looks like no one can really be cleared as innocent, but what is their end goal? Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from "Riverdale" season 3 episode 11: "The Red Dahlia"
Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the CW's Riverdale season 3 episode 11, I learned that "it's not what things are, it's what they appear to be." But when everyone in town is holding on to a secret, it's hard to know who to trust. After all, "no one's innocent in crime town." Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night's episode, "Chapter Forty-Six: The Red Dahlia," Riverdale embraces the noir genre, as Jughead Jones tries to uncover the secrets in town. Meanwhile, Archie continues to spiral out of control, Veronica is determined to find out who tried to kill her father, and Hermione Lodge proves to be a femme fatale you do not want to mess with. My top 5 moments from Riverdale season 3 episode 11 are:
"A safe place as long as you know the safe word."
I wonder if the safe word is "syrup." Penelope Blossom has been trying to get her brothel up and running in Riverdale for quite some time, but it looks like she is starting off with her secret sex club, "The Maple Club." Betty and Jughead uncover it while they are looking for information on Hiram's mistress and get a lot more than they bargained for when they witness what is going on here behind closed doors. While I'm not too sure on the scenery here, it's nice to see some screen time for our couple, Bughead, as they get back to their roots and try to get to the bottom of the mystery in front of them.
"Well played, Miss Veronica."
During the episode, Veronica embraces the noir genre and her fashion is on point, complete with an elegant hat, as she goes to hire Jughead Jones to find out who tried to have her father killed. After confronting her mother, Veronica discovers her mother's connection to the Fizzle Rocks drug fiasco and decides to have the drugs destroyed once and for all. This may not have been the wisest decision, as Hermione is far from pleased, but Veronica reminds us that she is very capable and has been paying great attention to both her mother and father for quite some time. At the end of the episode, Veronica no longer wants to find out the information, but is she perhaps a little bit too good at being a Lodge? After all, manipulation seems to run in the family, but we'll have to see what our girl Veronica does next.
"I'm going to face and kill one more demon."
Archie continues to abuse alcohol and Fred is not pleased, as he reminds him that "this does not solve your problems." Archie receives some unexpected advice from Josie, which is actually spot on. Josie talks to him about dealing with his demons head on, but Archie decides that he needs to finally face Hiram Lodge after all this time. After initially going to shoot Hiram, Archie ends up saving his life and the two make a deal to stay away from one another. But can you really ever make a trustworthy deal with the devil? Archie listens to Josie and decides that he wants to channel his anger into boxing and start playing music again, which seems to be a step in the right direction. Thanks Josie!
"You're not so innocent, Betty."
After talking with her father, Betty realizes that the murders around her have all been made to look like suicides by poison and that this trend definitely screams Blossom. After some more detective work, Betty learns that Clifford Blossom was actually poisoned by the "black widow" or "Red Dahlia," Penelope Blossom. Cheryl and Toni have already warned Betty to back off, as Cheryl is mourning the death of her Uncle Claudius, although I'm not sure that there are that many tears here, but Betty continues to use all her resources to figure out the connection. Penelope reveals that Claudius was responsible for the seizures, suggesting that the Fizzle Rocks run off in the river caused them. However, Penelope Blossom is no medical doctor for sure, as we are still not able to understand why the seizures only impacted girls so far. After Betty confronts Penelope about what she did, Penelope tries to explain that she only punishes men and that they are the "real poison." She also reminds Betty that she talks to Hal quite a bit and knows that she left Chic to die. Secrets will get the best of you every time, but I'm sure our girl Betty will be able to figure out a plan.
"We should agree to keep each other's secrets."
After confronting Hermione Lodge, she appears to have nothing to hide. Hermione is great under pressure and it seems like she may be off the hook, but Jughead Jones knows better. Hermione may not have pulled the trigger on her husband, but she is pulling all the strings. Jughead quickly learns that Sheriff Minetta is alive and well and having an affair with Hermione. Only FP was the one to actually take the shot at Hiram. Jughead tries to warn his father that Hermione plans to finish the job and frame him, but FP uses his new connection to the media to keep her quiet. It seems like we are witnessing a strategic game of chess here, but Hermione is not about to let any loose ends remain. She warns Jughead not to reveal her secrets or she will bring his father down too and she shoots her lover, Sheriff Minetta, proving to be the ultimate femme fatale.
Overall, I was slightly underwhelmed by the noir themed episode. Shows like Supernatural and Charmed have pulled this off successfully in the past, using the genre as a filler episode. However, I am still recovering from the filler episode 9 so I was hoping for something more concrete here. I will say that the plot did continue to move forward, but I was slightly confused with all the twists and turns and almost felt like I had to take notes just to keep up. While I love the mystery behind Riverdale, I almost felt like it didn't even need the noir theme or perhaps it didn't need it to be present for the entire episode. Either way, it looks like everyone still remains a suspect in some capacity, but we'll have to stay tuned to see what happens next!

Ranking the top 5 moments from "Riverdale" season 3 episode 8: "The Hellmouth of Riverdale"
Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching the CW's Riverdale season 3 episode 8, we were reminded that "there's no such thing as normal" in our favorite mysterious town. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In tonight's episode, "Chapter Forty-Three: Outbreak," Archie and Jughead are reunited with Jughead's mother and sister. Meanwhile, there is a mass seizure at school and Cheryl finally gets some well deserved screen time, reminding us that no one messes with her "TT." My top 5 moments from Riverdale season 3 episode 8 mid-season finale are:
"You can stay here for as long as you like…even permanently."
In the beginning of the episode, the Vixens all collapse in the school hallway with a mass seizure, only Cheryl is not impacted. Cheryl is horrified by this and rushes to Toni's side, as she calls for help. It looks like everyone will be OK, but this leads to Cheryl taking care of her "TT" and giving her some much needed bed rest. Cheryl offers to let Toni stay with her indefinitely, which is a sweet and romantic gesture. While we still only got about less than five minutes of screen time for our favorite couple, it was sweet to see Cheryl care for Toni in this way. Toni seems more than willing to move in, as long as she is the "big spoon," which seems like a fair compromise. But why was Cheryl immune to the mass seizure? Her mother later has a seizure as well, which makes me wonder what her connection is, but I still don't have much to go on here.
"They tried to banish me to New York."
After Veronica has a seizure, she is brought home and her mother and father suggest that she goes off to New York, but Veronica is not about to leave Riverdale anytime soon. Veronica continues to challenge her parents and recruits Reggie to find out some information about "fizzle rocks." Hiram clearly wants Veronica on his side and is impressed by her, but Veronica continues to remain strong, even though Archie has left her. However, it looks like Veggie fans will get an opportunity to see a steamy moment between these two, as new episodes in January could lead to a new potential romance for Veronica and Reggie. But what will Archie have to say about this?
"Drop the butter knife, bitch."
Jughead and Archie meet up with Jughead's mother, Gladys Jones, and his sister, Jellybean. His family is very excited to see him and his mother is actually pretty hilarious, as she initially thinks that Archie and Jughead are together romantically and they kindly correct her, informing her that it's really more of a "bromance." Later on, Penny shows up to stir up some trouble, but Jellybean is not about to let her threaten her family, as she puts her slingshot skills to the test. Gladys then takes a turn and suggests that she and Penny have some quality "girl time" together, as she gets some information about Hiram's plan. I have to say that Jughead's family is pretty bad-ass, but Gladys makes the right call when she has FP and Fred show up. Archie continues to go on his journey alone, but he knows that his father is there for him no matter what. I'm just wondering when Archie will decide to return home. It looks like Riverdale is in desperate need of his help right now.
"You messed with my squad, which means you messed with me."
Cheryl and Veronica team up and prove that they are not scared of the adults in Riverdale at all. While Veronica openly challenges her father, Cheryl is on board to torture her mother into a confession by dumping buckets of maple syrup on her. Penelope eventually gives in and talks about Hiram's plan to turn Riverdale into his own "kingdom" or "Vice City." Cheryl is a queen and is not about to let anyone threaten the Vixens or her beloved "TT." Seriously, you don't want to get on Cheryl's bad side.
"Follow me, your Griffin Queen."
During the episode, we learn that Betty has been playing the part all too well at the Sisters of Quiet Mercy, which Cheryl hilariously refers to as "the hellmouth of Riverdale." Betty takes her "candy," but later vomits to ensure that she has a clear mind. Betty recognizes that the Gargoyle King hallucinations are coming from the drugs and tries to recruit Ethel. After locking Ethel up in the Gargoyle King's chambers, Ethel comes down from her high and realizes that she is merely standing before a statue of a gargoyle. Ethel agrees to help Betty and they capture Sister Woodhouse, looking to finally get some concrete answers. Sister Woodhouse reveals that the game was created within their walls, but that it never should have been released into the world. So who released the game? Betty continues her plan by playing the part of the "Griffin Queen" to help everyone escape from the Sisters of Quiet Mercy, but do they have anywhere to go now?
The town of Riverdale is now under quarantine, which means that no one can leave and no one can get back in. At the end of the episode, Hiram is pleased and cheers to the King, revealing that he is also seeing the Gargoyle King. So who is the actual Gargoyle King? Whoever he or she is, they are calling the shots. Also, Betty pointed out that the Gargoyle King is a hallucination, but we know that Alice also saw him when she was not on fizzle rocks like the rest of the Midnight club, so does this have any significance? Alice is caught up with the farm and we still have a lot to learn about them as well. Overall, it was a jam-packed mid-season finale and I am looking forward to new episodes returning January 16th. Stay tuned!
I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on Riverdale in the comments section below. Happy viewing!

Ranking the top 5 moments from "Riverdale" season 3 episode 7: "The Man in Black"
Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching the CW's Riverdale season 3 episode 7, we may know who the Man in Black is, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's the Gargoyle King. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In tonight's episode, "Chapter Forty-Two: The Man in Black," Archie and Jughead try to stay low in a strange town, but quickly realize that they are far from safe. Meanwhile, Veronica shows off her gambling skills and Betty refuses to abandon her investigation, as she uncovers quite a lot of connections at the Sisters of Quiet Mercy. My top 5 moments from Riverdale season 3 episode 7 are:
"When you're trying to survive, it's easy to lose sight of who you are."
In the beginning of the episode, we catch up with Archie and Jughead, who are still looking for a safe place away from Hiram Lodge. They come across a farm in the ghost-like town of Athens and are taken in by Laurie Lake and her sister. While Archie tries to make himself useful at the farm, Jughead heads into town and detects symbols from the "Griffins and Gargoyles" game on some of the buildings. When he asks about it, he learns that the drug, "fizzle rocks," is here and that there is a man in black who calls the shots. The town is oddly quiet and Jughead even comments that it is a little bit too "American Gothic" for him, but we learn that all of the men are working at the prison. Jughead warns Archie not to get distracted, but Archie and Laurie do share a kiss. Archie stops it from going any further; however, as he explains that he has a girl waiting for him back home. Laurie seems harmless enough…until she hits Archie over the head with a frying pan and ties him up. See Archie, just another reason why you should head on home to Veronica.
"Who's the Man in Black?"
We quickly learn that the "Man in Black" is Hiram Lodge and that the men in town are working for him, distributing fizzle rocks. Hiram is more than disappointed when Archie gets away with Jughead, but what was Hiram really going to do here? Archie desperately wanted to stay and fight Hiram and "end this nightmare once and for all," but Jughead talks some sense into him, recognizing that they are under prepared and no match for Hiram Lodge right now. We know that Hiram is capable of murder, but would he really eliminate Archie forever? It looks like Jughead and Archie will continue their brotherly adventure together, as they will be reunited with Jughead's mother and sister in next week's mid-season finale.
"Veronica Lodge is not about to go quietly into the night."
Veronica makes the decision to leave home, even though both her mother and father try to stop her. Veronica sleeps at La Bonne Nuit and decides to spend her time figuring out how to make some real money. She enlists the help of Elio and decides to have a casino night, which seems like a great idea, but Hiram recognizes the potential danger here. Veronica even takes out a second mortgage on Pop's Diner, which is extremely risky. During the casino night, Elio is having an unrealistic streak of luck and hasn't lost yet, which would leave Veronica in the red. Veronica refuses to "go quietly into the night" and challenges Elio to a high stakes game of Black Jack, where the winner gets the deed to Pop's Diner and La Bonne Nuit. I have to say that I was extremely nervous here, but Veronica ends up winning, as she sends Elio packing. We later find out that Veronica "scammed the scammer," as Reggie so eloquently put it, but does this mean that Hiram has won back her affection? Hiram did warn Veronica and got her in touch with a dealer she could trust, but we know that he has an ulterior motive here. Later on, Pop warns Veronica and tells her, "Don't be like your father." He explains that Sheriff Minetta was found murdered and that the body was decapitated and his hands were sawed off. You really do not want to get on Hiram Lodge's bad side.
"Make them think that you're sane."
During the episode, we also get to catch up with poor Betty, who is still at the Sisters of Quiet Mercy. Betty's narration is beyond hilarious, as she desperately tries to stay sane so that she can continue on with her investigation. Fizzle rocks pop up here as well and the patients are receiving the drug as their reward or "candy," as Sister Woodhouse said in a beyond creepy tone. Betty observes a lot at the Sisters of Quiet Mercy and notices that both Claudius Blossom and Hiram Lodge show up, but what is the connection? We know that Hiram Lodge is the one who initially brought the fizzle rocks drugs to the Midnight Club so many years ago, so what is his end game here and how does Claudius fit in? It seems like Betty is actually obtaining quite the inside scoop until she meets her new roommate…Ethel. To quote Betty, "Fun!" Ethel is beyond obnoxious, as she tries to even tell Betty that her and Jughead will be a ship. Betty hilariously says, "Ethelhead…in your dreams" and I have to agree. Ethel is not the only threat that Betty has to deal with, however.
"The king awaits you."
In a frightening moment, Betty is taken to The Gargoyle King's chambers against her will after she discovers that the "X" door has been boarded up with bricks. Betty is forced to take the fizzle rocks drug and is brought before the king, which is absolutely terrifying. We do not get to see who or what Betty sees, but we do witness her behavior later on, as she now seems completely different. It's almost like she is a shell of her former self, as she gives mechanical answers about the pictures that Sister Woodhouse holds up. Betty even recites, "My king, my savior. Guide me through the night. Bless me with your darkness. Gift me with your flight." Has Betty been completely brainwashed? Are the drugs to blame? What did she really see in the Gargoyle King's chambers? Also, where are Cheryl and Toni? They deserve some much needed screen time. Stay tuned for the mid-season finale next week!

Ranking the top 5 moments from "Riverdale" season 3 episode 4: "A Fantasy Land at Our Fingertips"
Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the CW's Riverdale season 3 episode 4, we got a fun throwback to The Breakfast Club with a familiar guest star, fabulous outfits, and some epic music. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night's episode, "Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Midnight Club," Hermione announces that "Griffins and Gargoyles" has been officially banned, but this doesn't stop the obsession with the game. Meanwhile, Alice opens up to Betty about her personal connection to the game, presenting us with an entertaining flashback that will have you seeing your favorite characters in a new light. My top 5 moments from Riverdale season 3 episode 4 are:
"Stay away from this game."
In an effort to protect everyone, Hermione Lodge announces that she is officially banning "Griffins and Gargoyles." Only Veronica rightfully points out, "Newsflash Mom, banning something only makes it more interesting." Now that the player's manual has spread all over town, everyone is intrigued by this new game, unaware of the dark consequences that come along with it. Betty and Veronica have no interest in playing the game, but some of their loved ones may quickly find themselves caught in a web of obsession.
"The world was a different place and we were very different people."
Alice finally agrees to provide Betty with the truth and her story transitions us into a very different world indeed. Inspired by the film, The Breakfast Club, we get to envision the parents of Riverdale as teenagers, played by many of their own children. I thought that this was a really fun and clever way to gain our interest in the story. Plus we get to see Cheryl rocking some adorable glasses and Betty trading in her preppy style for a bad-ass leather jacket. The characters are all connected when they wind up in Saturday detention together and a group of strangers find themselves having quite a bit in common, as they all bond together. Anthony Michael Hall guest stars as Principal Featherhead and we learn that Penelope Blossom was always caught in the middle of a cat fight or two. During the flashback, we learn that the group found "Griffins and Gargoyles" in their teacher's desk. The game seemed like a convenient solution to boredom for the group, but the harmless game quickly turned into a "maddening obsession with the roll of a dice."
"I'm lost."
During the flashback, we witness a touching scene between young Alice and young Fred. Alice had just found out that she was pregnant and she confided in Fred about feeling lost and needing an escape from her life. Alice explained that the game allowed her to do so, but that when the game was over, she was just her again. This moment is heartwarming on its own, but it also reveals that there has always been some kind of chemistry present between Alice and Fred and perhaps between Betty and Archie as well. Even though these romantic potential relationships shift toward a friendship instead, one cannot ignore the sweet moment presented here.
"Forever to the grave."
After the group decided to have an "Ascension Party" and play the game "off board," things started to go horribly wrong. Alice thought she saw the same creature that Betty did and Principal Featherhead winds up dead. Even though his death was ruled a suicide, it's clear that someone poisoned him, utilizing the game to do so. Everyone was high on "fizzle rocks" except for Alice, but they all realized that they could never speak about the game again. They all made a pact to keep it a secret and go their separate ways. Even though their friendships were over, they were still all tied together forever by this horrible secret.
"We can't be silent anymore."
After flashing back to present day, Betty asks, "Who poisoned the cups?" Alice is convinced that one of them was a murderer and that Principal Featherhead was an innocent casualty, but who was it and why is that person bringing the game back now after all this time? We still have a lot to learn, but Betty cannot stay away from this investigation despite her mother's warning. Betty promises her that she will not play the game, but she soon stumbles upon Jughead playing it, who is now fixated on it. His obsession is obvious and it looks like Betty will need to figure out something fast before she loses Jughead. Stay tuned!

6 Questions | Author Paul Bogdanor
by Claire Barrett 3/17/2017
PAUL BOGDANOR is an author and researcher based in Britain. His latest book, Kasztner's Crime, tells the story of how hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were deported to their deaths during the Holocaust while the head of the "rescue operation" in Budapest collaborated with the Nazis.
1.What drew you to writing this book?
In 1944 Hungary was the only Nazi satellite where a large Jewish population was mostly intact and where there was a well-prepared Jewish rescue underground, led by Rezső Kasztner. But when the Nazis occupied the country Hungary's Jews were deported to Auschwitz in record time and with minimal difficulty. How was this possible? I became fascinated with Kasztner's conduct during these events, especially his dealings with the SS [the black-uniformed elite corps of the Nazi Party]. My initial impulse was to exonerate Kasztner of charges of collaboration. But the more evidence I uncovered, the more I became convinced that his role was a negative one. I then felt a powerful moral obligation to defend the memory of the Auschwitz survivors who had spoken out against him.
2. How long did you work on this book?
I worked on the book for 10 years. About half of that was spent doing research, and half writing. The subject can sustain a person's interest for a very long time because it's about so much more than the rescue efforts during the Holocaust; it also involves Nazi deception operations, World War II intelligence networks, a famous Israeli libel trial, and Israel's first political assassination.
3. What kind of research do you do, and how much research do you do before you begin writing?
First I read every published source on the subject, then I turn to the archives. For Kasztner's Crime I used material in the Haganah Archives, the Central Zionist Archives, the Israel State Archives, Yad Vashem [the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem], the National Archives in Britain, NARA [the National Archives and Records Administration] in the United States, and other document collections too numerous to list. I also communicated with Auschwitz survivors and their families. Basically, I gather all the material I can find, then I start writing. Research never really ends—in fact, I'm still collecting evidence even though Kasztner's Crime has been published.
4. Do you enjoy the craft of writing or do you prefer the research?
I prefer the research. Even if the material has been mined by previous researchers, you often see something new in it. It's interesting to find that past authors have mischaracterized or omitted crucial aspects of documents. That happened more than once when I was researching Kasztner's Crime.
5. What books are you reading right now?
Right now I'm reading Esther Farbstein's two-volume work Hidden in the Heights: Orthodox Jewry in Hungary during the Holocaust. In my spare time I like to learn about other areas of history and politics. I have a collection of books on World War II and the Cold War that I'd like to read, starting with Richard B. Frank's Downfall: The End of the Imperial Japanese Empire.
6. What's next for you? What are you working on?
I haven't yet started my next book. For a long time I've wanted to write a book on apologists for the world's worst dictatorships. I have a lot of hard-to-find material on that subject and I believe I have something new to say about it. MHQ

Summertime means hot and humid weather creating havoc on your trendy hair style. It's frustrating to see the hairstyle that looked so smooth and sleek at home puff up into a hot mess when you arrive to your vacation spot! But you can keep your style looking fresh and sleek with a few simple tips.
When planning a vacation, we rarely think about how the weather affects our hair. Make sure to know how your hair reacts to dry, humid or any other conditions, and pack the appropriate haircare products. Thinking ahead can make a world of difference when you look back at your vacation photos and admire your well-maintained trendy style.
Whatever your travel plans are—a tropical vacation spot or spending a day at the neighborhood pool—there are a few things you must do to keep your hair conditioned. Remember chlorine and salt water can damage your hair, so make sure to protect yourself from long-term damage by applying a little conditioner to wet hair and tucking it into a swim cap. Hair will absorb less chlorine/water when it's wet. It's best to shampoo after swimming, but if that's not possible, make sure to at least rinse. After rinsing, moisturize and style.
When your hair is exposed to sun, it degrades the hair shaft's proteins and pigments. Why should this matter to you? Your hair could lose its color and dry out. It's critical to protect your hair from the sun! Items that will help protect you from sun damage are detangling sprays that contain UV protection. Make sure to use these detangling sprays as a finishing mist or as a leave-in conditioner.
You can also make a fashion statement with fedoras, straw hats and wide brimmed hats. Not only do these help protect your hair from the sun and UV rays, they also provide a great accessory to your vacation style.
It's important to prevent any unnecessary damage from vacation-induced dryness. A great tool to lock moisture deep into your hair is our Hot Tools® 1 ¼" Conditioning Vapor Flat Iron, which heats up to 450 degrees (enough heat for just about any hair type!). This flat iron uses Argan conditioning treatment and thermal protectant, which seals in moisture to create silky styles without drying out your hair. The Nano Ceramic surface glides effortlessly across your hair, leaving it soft and shiny for healthy, salon-quality straight hair. It's the perfect styling tool for your vacation getaways.

This thesis contains new results on the problem of coordinating a group of vehicles. The main motivation driving this work is the development of control laws that steer individual members of a formation, such that desired group behavior emerges. Special attention is paid to analysis of coordination issues, in particular formation control of marine craft where robustness to unknown environmental forces is important. Coordinated control applications for marine craft include: underway replenishment, maintaining a formation for increased safety during travel and instrument resolution, and cooperative transportation. A review of formation control structures is given, together with a discussion of special issues that arise in coordination of independent vehicles.
A previously developed path following design is used to control a group of vehicles by synchronizing the individual path parameters. The path following design is advantageous since the path parameter, i.e., that parameter which determines position along a path, is scalar; hence coordination is achieved with a little amount of real-time communication. The path following design is also extended to the output-feedback case for systems where only parts of the state vector are known. The path following scheme is exploited further in a passivity-based design for coordination where the structural properties render an extended selection of functions for synchronization available. Performance and robustness properties in different operational conditions can be enhanced with a careful selection of these functions. Two designs are presented; a cascaded interconnection where a consensus system provides synchronized path parameters as input to the individual path following systems renders time-varying formations possible and increases robustness to communication problems; a feedback interconnection which is more robust to vehicle failures. Both designs are extended to sampled-data designs where plant and controller dynamics are updated in continuous-time and path parameters are exchanged over a communication network where transmission occurs at discrete intervals. Bias estimation is included to provide integral action against slowlyvarying environmental forces and model uncertainties.
A scheme for formation modeling and control, inspired by analytical mechanics of multi-body systems and Lagrangian multipliers, is proposed. In this approach to formation control, various formation behaviors are determined by imposing constraint functions on group members. Several examples illustrate these formation behaviors. The stabilization scheme presented is made more robust with respect to unknown time-varying disturbances. In addition, the scheme is extended towards adaptive estimation of unknown plant and parameters. Furthermore, it can be applied with no major modifications to the case of position control for a single vehicle.
The formation control scheme is such that it may be used in combination with a set of position control laws for a single vessel, thus enabling the designer to choose from a large class of control laws available in the literature. The input-to-state stability (ISS) framework is utilised to investigate robustness to environmental and communication disturbances. A loop-transform, together with the ISS framework, yields an upper bound on the inter-vessel time delay below which formation stability is maintained.

Don't pass up these fantastic NBA favorites
Betting NFL divisional sleepers
How to properly handicap football futures
Published by Ed Welch at December 31, 2015
To be a betting favorite, you don't have to be an elite NBA team. You just have to be better than your opponent. Some NBA clubs garner lofty spreads, like the Golden State Warriors or Cleveland Cavaliers, while others are good enough to consistently give the points but don't face a mountain of chalk every night.
Here's a look at three of the best bets in the NBA when playing as pointspread favorites:
Dallas Mavericks (11-5 ATS as a favorite)
The Mavericks have been solid at home, going 9-5 ATS, which adds to their record as a favorite. Dallas has played up to the oddsmakers' expectations, recently covering as 5.5-point chalk versus Milwaukee and as a 2-point fave hosting Chicago. The Mavs have won by an average of 5.5 points when tabbed as betting favorites and will likely be giving the points in upcoming games at Miami, and versus New Orleans and Sacramento.
San Antonio Spurs (22-10 ATS as a favorite)
The Spurs have been playing in the shadow of the Golden State Warriors out West, quietly crushing the spread whenever oddsmakers give the points to opponents. San Antonio has been outscored teams by almost 14 points per game when listed as a betting favorite, which will come in handy since books are throwing a lot of points the other way. San Antonio has faced double-digit spreads in six of its last 10 games, going 5-1 ATS in those situations.
Orlando Magic (8-4 ATS as a favorite)
Unlike the Western Conference counterparts above, the Magic aren't wearing the favorites pants most nights. Orlando has only been giving the points in 12 of its 31 total games so far this season, picking up 38 percent of its total ATS wins while laying the points. The Magic were favorites in three straight games, facing Houston, Miami and New Orleans at home, going 2-1 ATS in that span. Orlando is home to Brooklyn on Dec. 30 before a three-game road run to Washington, Cleveland and Detroit, where it will be tabbed as an underdog in each contest. Luckily, the Magic are also 13-15-1 ATS when getting the points.


2. How come When I click the 'forum registration' button I get this message: "sorry, but this board is currently unavailable,please try later" what is that supposed to mean? I emailed this question and got an answer that I should try it again and it should work, but it doesn't!
Regarding the first part of your post, I know that I have answered a question or two of yours without saying "buy the course"... although if you are interested in learning Spanish in the most painless way possible, Rocket Spanish is the way to go (no, I don't work for them, but I own and use/have used enough Spanish-language learning materials to be able to recommend what works effectively and what you shouldn't bother wasting your hard earned $$$ on).
As for the second part of your post, I'm sorry, but I just don't have an educated answer for that. Sorry I can't help you out there.
It should be working now as they relinked it.
Loriann y Antonio, Thank you!

Oceana calls for an agreement between Spain and Norway to chase illegal fishing
The marine conservation organisation suggests that Spanish inspectors accompany their Norwegian colleagues aboard patrol vessels.
Press Release Date
Location: Madrid
Contact: Marta Madina: mmadina@oceana.org 0034 911 440 884
The continued detentions of fishing vessels under Spanish and other EU flags by Norwegian patrols in Northeast Atlantic waters highlight the weakness of fishing regulations to take on the offenders and the lack of political willpower to put an end to these legal loopholes.
This year, the fishing vessels Arosa 9, Arosa 12 and Arosa 15 were detained by Norwegian patrol vessels and accused of illegal fishing. These cases add to the detention of the Garoya Segundo and the Monte Meixueiro, and the Lithuanian-flagged but Spanish-funded vessel Lootus. In 2004, the vessels Olaberri and Olalazar were also detained. All of these detentions have caused uneasiness in the Spanish government regarding the legal nuances that are currently being debated between the two countries. These discrepancies do not challenge the illegality of the activities of these vessels, but concern whether the Norwegian authorities had the competence to seize a vessel under a foreign flag.
Unfortunately, this debate between Spain and Norway creates the false impression that there were no reasons for these detentions. This could easily be remedied by having EU or Spanish inspectors participate in fishing control activities aboard the Norwegian patrol vessels.
This is the reason why Oceana calls for a monitoring system to be put in place at sea within the framework of the EU and the NEAFC (the convention which regulates fishing in the North East Atlantic), via an agreement with Norway.
This agreement should enable inspectors of both countries to jointly control the vessels conducting fishing activities in the North East Atlantic, as was done in the NAFO zone (North West Atlantic) between the EU and Canada.
"This way one could prevent the detainees, even when they are caught red-handed, from being converted from villains into heroes due to 'legal weaknesses' ", declares Xavier Pastor, Director of Oceana in Europe.
The state of the fishing grounds in the North Atlantic is very worrying. Many fish stocks, such as cod, hake, megrim, etc. are overexploited or on the verge of collapsing. According to data in surveys released during this last year by the International Council for Exploration of the Sea (ICES), a scientific organisation which provides advice to both the EU and Norway, more than 50% of European fishing grounds should be closed or reduced to a minimum to avoid their collapse.
That makes illegal fishing, according to Oceana's view, even more unacceptable, if that were even possible. Legal nuances cannot be allowed to generate obstacles or diplomatic problems that hinder the fight against offenders.
"The discussions between Norway and Spain only benefit those who conduct illegal fishing activities. The Spanish government has the means to solve the problem and to help end the deplorable attitude of illegal fishers. If not, it will encourage pirate fishing and that would affect legal fishers. Sanctions, whether imposed by Norway, the EU or Spain, must be exemplary and must send a clear message. Patriotically waving the Spanish flag or the flag of any other country cannot be a license to breach fishing regulations. If that were so, shipowners who comply with the law would be losing out and the entire national fleet would be discredited", afirms the director of Oceana in Europe, Xavier Pastor.

Why now was the best time for SUU to lock up Todd Simon
Todd Simon has signed an extension to keep coaching at SUU after helping to lead a quick turnaround. Here's why it had to happen now.
Why now was the best time for SUU to lock up Todd Simon Todd Simon has signed an extension to keep coaching at SUU after helping to lead a quick turnaround. Here's why it had to happen now. Check out this story on thespectrum.com: https://www.thespectrum.com/story/sports/2019/12/05/suu-signs-todd-simon-coach-its-basketball-team-long-term/2612115001/
Chris Kwiecinski, St. George Spectrum & Daily News Published 6:53 a.m. MT Dec. 5, 2019

In the midst of a season that could be the best in program history, Southern Utah made sure its coach wasn't going anywhere for the time being.
Todd Simon signed an extension with SUU men's basketball team, reaching an agreement to stay on with the team through the 2023-24 season, the school announced on Wednesday.
"This is a very special place with special people throughout the university," Simon said in a written statement. "It is my commitment to continue to do our absolute best to achieve our goals on and off the court and represent SUU with honor."
And this was the perfect time to do so.

The announcement comes as the Thunderbirds head toward Big Sky Conference play with big goals in mind this season, and have already made program history. The T-Birds are 4-4 so far as of Wednesday, but two of those losses had come in close road contests at BYU and at UCLA.
The Thunderbirds topped Nebraska in November, marking the team's first victory over a Power Five Conference opponent since the 1996 season. The T-Birds became just the second Big Sky team to win on the road against a Big Ten Conference opponent.

But that's just this year. What made Simon so important to lock up is because of where SUU has been and where SUU will go, but also because of what could happen in the very near future.
Without sugarcoating it, the Big Sky is a stepping stone for bigger programs. From the 1990s when Kermit Davis left Idaho for Texas A&M, to 2009 when Ken Bone left Portland State for Washington State, and in 2014 when Wayne Tinkle left Montana for Oregon State, each of those coaches saw bigger opportunities and pounced.
Low-major, one-tournament bid conferences aren't where legends are made in college basketball, and Simon's penchant for turning programs around could make him a very intriguing candidate for a program that needs an overhaul.
Simon inherited a team that had gone 6-24 in the 2015-16 season but has led the squad to a quick turnaround with strategic recruiting and sly scheduling. The team finished at 17-17 last season and won nine Big Sky Conference games. In the postseason, the team beat Drake 80-73 in overtime, marking the program's first Division I postseason victory.
They've also made back-to-back trips to the semifinals of the Big Sky Conference Championship Tournament.
That's only what Simon has done in four years as SUU's coach, and it's imperative SUU does what it can to make sure he stays, even if its only for another few years.
"What Todd has been able to do here in such a relatively short amount of time has been an absolute pleasure to watch," SUU Director of Athletics Debbie Corum said. "He has brought in an incredibly high level of talent and completely changed the way that Cedar City, the state and the entire nation thinks about Thunderbird basketball."
Simon has definitely changed how people perceive SUU basketball. The win at Nebraska game proves it, and, if his team was able to hit a 3-pointer or two, Simon's T-Birds would've given the mid-major world whiplash with a win at BYU.
That moves to another point: Simon's ability to schedule has been a large boon for this program.
More: Why in-state games are a boon for SUU; and why they don't happen more often
Games against BYU, UCLA and Nebraska may have only yielded one win, but they were the biggest games SUU has played in nary a decade. Partially because of how Simon was able to have the T-Birds competitive in each of those games, losing only to UCLA by double digits because of how much more athletic the Bruins were.
The upcoming game against Utah Valley also brings an in-state touch to a schedule that gets a fan base excited.
But those games are made exciting by the way Simon recruits. Nabbing transfers like Jakolby Long, John Knight III and Dwayne Morgan to put alongside signed and developed talent like Dre Marin, Harrison Butler and Maizen Fausett creates a talented team that can win in the Big Sky.
Now, there's not much SUU can do if a big-time, Power 5 program comes calling and offers Simon a deal he just can't turn down. But, locking Simon up now at least keeps him away from higher-end mid-major programs, like the Mountain West or AAC, and keeps pressure off him as he tries to achieve sustained success in Cedar City.
It' a different conversation if SUU makes the NCAA Tournament, but then it becomes an entirely different situation.
