KEENE, N.H. – Sophomore Ryan Martin (Wayne, Me.) scored 25 points on 8-of-9 shooting from the field, 3-of-4 from behind the arc and a perfect six-for-six from the line to lead Keene State College to a 94-85 victory over Plymouth State University in a Little East Conference men’s basketball game at Spaulding Gymnasium.
Keene State, which has won three straight, improves to 13-5 and moves into a tie for second place in the LEC with a 5-3 mark. Plymouth State (8-9, 3-5 LEC) saw its two-game winning streak come to an end.
Juniors Anthony Mariano (Naugatuck, Conn.) and Ollie Hunter (Bedford, N.H.) added double-figures for the winners with 14 and 13 points, respectively, and they both finished with eight rebounds.
The Panthers placed five players in double-figures. Junior Brian Chergey (Bow, N.H.) led the way with 18 points, seniors Ian Dempsey (Andover, Mass.), Ryan Lambert (Derry, N.H.) and Tom Dowd (Portsmouth, N.H.) each finished with 13 points, and senior Matt Feehan (Nashua, N.H.) added 11 points. Lambert had a game-high nine rebounds.
Playing a strong defensive first half, the Owls turned a block by sophomore Rashad Wright (Agawam, Mass.) into a three-pointer by junior Anthony Mariano (Naugatuck, Conn.) at the other end of the court. Junior Derek D’Amours (Agawam, Mass.) followed with another hoop from behind the arc to stake KSC to a 27-13 lead at the 10:22 mark.
The Panthers used a 16-4 run to get back into the game. A conventional three-point play by senior Bill Stowell (Stratham, N.H.) cut the Owls lead to 31-29 with 5:19 to go. The Owls scored the final nine points of the half, capped off by a pair of free throws by sophomore Ryan Bourgeois (Bedford, N.H.) to take a 49-37 at the break. Martin hit all three of his shots from behind the arc on the way to finishing with 13 first half points.
KSC maintained its advantage early in the second half. With KSC up 63-50, PSU strung together seven straight points to close the gap to 63-57 on a corner three-pointer by Chergey. A three-pointer by Feehan made it a 69-66 game at the 8:29 mark. D’Amours, who finished with 19 points, scored five straight points and Martin followed with a scoop shot in the lane to make it 80-70 with 6:06 to go.
The Panthers made one last run at the Owls. A top-of-the-key three-pointer by Chergey cut the deficit to five points (85-80) with 2:40 to play. Lambert converted another three-pointer in PSU’s next possession to make it 85-83 with 2:10 to play. D’Amours answered with a lay-up and a pair of free throws to put KSC up 89-83.
A basket by Dowd made it 89-85 with 54.6 seconds on the clock. Martin was fouled on the Owls next possession. He hit both shots to give KSC a 91-85 lead with 49.2 seconds to go. After a missed Panther shot, Mariano was fouled in the rebound action. He made one of two shots to put KSC up 92-85. Martin, who leads Division III in free throw pct., put the game away with two more free throws to account for the final score.
The overall series between the two in-state rivals is tied at 53-53.
Keene State is at Southern Maine on Saturday (3 p.m.). PSU travels to Johnson State on Thursday (7:30 p.m.).

Imagine the vision and optimism of the people of Iowa in 1871, when they began construction on their massive new capitol building. Then, Des Moines had a population of only 10,000.
Wikipedia tells us "Not long after achieving statehood, Iowa recognized that the Capitol should be moved farther west than Iowa City, and the 1st General Assembly, in 1846, authorized a commission to select a location. In 1854, the General Assembly decreed a location 'within two miles of the Raccoon fork of the Des Moines River.' The exact spot was chosen when Wilson Alexander Scott gave the state nine and one-half acres where the Capitol now stands. Final legislative approval for the construction of a permanent statehouse was given on April 8, 1870."
Construction was completed in 1886.
Over the years, the exterior suffered the effects of the elements; by the late 20th century, covers had to be built over the entrances to protect visitors from falling masonry.
The inside fared no better. At mid-century, the "old fashioned" Victorian polychromed walls were painted over in plain colors more suited to the era's sensibilities.
Fortunately, painstaking projects spanning several decades have restored the exterior and interior to their former splendor.

The Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper) is an opera house – and opera company – with a history dating back to the mid-19th century. It is located in the centre of Vienna, Austria. It was originally called the Vienna Court Opera (Wiener Hofoper); in 1920, it was renamed the Vienna State Opera. The members of the Vienna Philharmonic are recruited from its orchestra.
The building was the first major building on the Vienna Ringstraße commissioned by the controversial Viennese "city expansion fund". Work commenced on the building in 1861 and was completed in 1869, following plans drawn up by architects August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll, who lived together in the 6. Bezirk. It was built in the Neo-Renaissance style.
The Ministry of the Interior had commissioned a number of reports into the availability of certain building materials, with the result that stones long not seen in Vienna were used, such as Wöllersdorfer Stein, for plinths and free-standing, simply-divided buttresses, the famously hard stone from Kaisersteinbruch, whose colour was more appropriate than that of Kelheimerstein, for more lushly decorated parts. The somewhat coarser-grained Kelheimerstein (also known as Solnhof Plattenstein) was intended as the main stone to be used in the building of the opera house, but the necessary quantity was not deliverable. Breitenbrunner stone was suggested as a substitute for the Kelheimer stone, and stone from Jois was used as a cheaper alternative to the Kaiserstein. The staircases were constructed from polished Kaiserstein, while most of the rest of the interior was decorated with varieties of marble.
The decision was made to use dimension stone for the exterior of the building. Due to the monumental demand for stone, stone from Sóskút, widely used in Budapest, was also used. Three Viennese masonry companies were employed to supply enough masonry labour: Eduard Hauser (still in existence today), Anton Wasserburger and Moritz Pranter. The foundation stone was laid on May 20, 1863.

Henryton State Hospital is a now-closed hospital complex in Marriottsville, in southern Carroll County, Maryland, just across the Howard County line. The complex is located within Patapsco Valley State Park and along its southern end runs CSX's Old Main Line Subdivision and is very close to the Henryton Tunnel. The Henryton State Hospital center, or the Henryton Tuberculosis Sanatorium as it was called, was erected in 1922 by the Maryland Board of Mental Hygiene. It was established as a facility to treat African Americans suffering from tuberculosis.[1] This was one of the first such facilities in Maryland erected to provide African Americans with the same level of treatment as whites.
The original complex opened in 1922 and consisted of 6 main buildings and one utility plant. These buildings were erected between the years of 1921 and 1923. The establishment of the Henryton Sanatorium was one of the final steps in Maryland’s program to treat all of the state's tubercular patients. In the late twenties and early thirties the tuberculosis rate among African Americans in Maryland was quadruple what the rate was among whites.[1] This placed a heavy burden on the hospital to deal with the increasing number of patients. In 1938 the hospital was budgeted $270,000 for the construction of new buildings to house 200 more patients.[1] The new buildings roughly doubled the size of the overall facility, and several more municipal buildings added even more space to the complex. However, by the time the new buildings were completed in 1946, the tuberculosis rates had dropped, leaving much more room than was necessary.
In the decades since the facility’s closure, the Henryton State Hospital complex has become a haven for vandals, drifters, and drug addicts. The façade of most of the buildings have been extensively damaged and are covered in graffiti. Most of the windows have been broken out, making the grounds around the hospital very dangerous. The doors to all of the buildings have been broken in, allowing access to the inside. Although the furnishings and equipment were removed before the facility closed, there is still remarkable damage from people going through. Henryton has been the site of many suspicious fires since its closure, the most well-known of them taking place in the early morning of December 19, 2007.[citation needed] Henryton caught fire on April 28, 2011.[2] Initial speculation of this fire was believed to be suspicious in nature, but after fire marshalls conducted their investigation, it was believed to have been sparked by a lightning strike in the roof area.[citation needed] Firefighters arrived on the scene with heavy fire throughout the roof. Severe storms had passed through the area during the time that the fire was reported.
Henryton has suffered from extensive damage over the years
In this incident, the auditorium and cafeteria sections of the complex were engulfed with flames. The blaze took 80 firefighters from 3 counties to extinguish. The burned areas have since been demolished and removed. The 2011 fire affected the Physician and Nurses Cottage, destroying the roof. Visiting the Henryton State Hospital complex without the expressed written consent of the Maryland DHMH is trespassing, but the possible charges and fines seem not to deter most vandals. However, the decades of wear on the buildings without maintenance and the presence of large quantities of asbestos make Henryton a dangerous place to explore.
Since its closing, many attempts to purchase the land have been made, but most potential buyers, after having been approved to buy, have had their proposal for usage vetoed by local government and the like.[citation needed] The land on which the old Henryton Center rests goes on the market occasionally (every 5–6 years or so) and then is removed from the market. The state of Maryland spends a large amount of money to maintain the property minimally and occasionally patrol, and it is an expense that the state seems eager to be rid of.

Cascadia State Park is a state park in the U.S. state of Oregon near Sweet Home along the South Santiam River at Cascadia. The park includes a day use area, campsites, hiking trails and 150 foot Lower Soda Creek Falls. In 1896, George Geisendorfer opened a resort to capitalize on what he called the "curative powers" of Soda Creek's mineral spring water. The resort included a hotel, tennis courts, croquet course, garden and bowling alley. The hotel later burned and the property was acquired by the state of Oregon in 1940.

This is what happens when you drive too fast for conditions.
A State Patrol Trooper was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries after a 2005 Dodge Dakota pickup lost control due to speed too fast for the snowy conditions. The Dakota lost traction in the slush and rotated completely around as it crossed 3 eastbound lanes and 6 feet of shoulder before it struck the parked patrol vehicle forcing it into a 2008 Volvo still there from the prior collision.
I would like to take this opportunity to say that I am glad that I am back from our trip to the northern coast of Oregon. I have been off line for some time now due to my laptop had to be sent in for repairs. They had to put another hard drive in it as well as another CD, DVD drive. More work was done to it than anticipated.
In any event I am very glad to be back and am sooo sorry that I have missed visiting your sites. I will now focus in on visiting your individual photo streams and of course commenting on your wonderful work. :) I have missed you all, but on my trip I have managed to capture a lot of lighthouse images which was my major goal on this photo expedition.
Stay tuned for more seascapes, because I have plenty to post.
Take care my friends. And it's great to be back! :) Nick
