Former Bastrop High quarterback Darren Anderson says he plans to sign with Tennessee-Martin later this week. Anderson, who has converted to wide receiver, spent the past two seasons at Copiah-Lincoln (Miss.) Community College.
Former Bastrop High standout Darren Anderson has verbally committed to Tennessee-Martin and expects to sign "probably sometime this week."
Anderson spent the past two years at Copiah-Lincoln Community College where he helped the Wolfpack to their first Mississippi Association of Junior & Community Colleges state championship since 1985 last season.
Anderson was a two-year starter at wide receiver and backup quarterback for the Wolfpack.
As a sophomore, he earned second-team All-Conference recognition after catching 37 passes for 614 yards and five touchdowns.
Anderson started every game as a freshman, including one game at quarterback. Filling in for the injured starter, Anderson directed Co-Lin to a season-ending victory.
Playing in one of the nation's premier junior college conferences, Anderson says he is glad he took the juco route.
"It's a tough league. Basically, you're playing against people who are going to D-1 colleges," Anderson said. "I'm pretty satisfied with the way things turned out for me. I'm going to a bigger school, so everything worked out."
Over the past couple of weeks, Anderson has been working out at Bastrop High and watching the Rams' spring football practices. In addition to UT-Martin, Anderson said he also received offers from West Alabama, South Alabama and Middle Tennessee.
"They have a good program," Anderson said of UT-Martin. "Two of my teammates from Co-Lin, (linebackers) Alonzo Lewis from Vacherie, La., and Brian Isaac from Natchez, are going there, too."
A member of the Ohio Valley Conference, the Skyhawks went 8-3 and were ranked No. 30 in both major Football Conference Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) national polls.
Before reporting to UT-Martin, Anderson says he is one class away from obtaining his associate's degree from Co-Lin.
"I can take the class online, so I hope to be (at UT-Martin) by the end of June," said Anderson, who is majoring in business management. "I should be able to start practicing with the team no later than July."
Anderson is adamant that he will be with the Skyhawks in time for fall practice.
"I will be on the field next year," Anderson said.
A two-year starting quarterback at Bastrop, Anderson led Class 4A in passing yardage (3,356) as a senior in 2010. Completing 195-of-300 attempts, Anderson threw 43 touchdowns passes with only seven interceptions in helping the Rams to a Class 4A quarterfinal berth.
Except for the emergency start as a sophomore and a couple of spot appearances last season, Anderson spent the majority of his junior college time at wide receiver. Though he misses taking snaps, Anderson says he is now a full-fledged wide receiver.
"I miss playing quarterback. You get the ball in your hands every play at quarterback," Anderson said. "At receiver, it's iffy. But I'm straight receiver now. It just worked out that way."
Anderson also played basketball for the Rams, averaging 14 points and eight rebounds as a senior.

Whether or not AT&T's 4G is really "4G" is a question for the ages. Regardless of whatever other companies say, AT&T has officially announced its plans for 4G BlackBerry devices, starting with the 4G BlackBerry Torch 2 9810. The Torch 2 9810 will be available officially from AT&T this month while the Bold 9900 and Torch 9860 (also listed as 4G devices under AT&T's press release) will be available "in 2011." We know these devices will be coming out around October so that makes sense.

Powers Enters Spring Ranked No. 2 in Region
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The spring portion of the Yale men's tennis team's season begins this Sunday with the Bulldogs hosting a pair of local rivals, Sacred Heart and Quinnipiac, at the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center. The Bulldogs play the Pioneers at 11 a.m. and the Bobcats at 3:30 p.m.
Yale beat Sacred Heart 5-2 last season, including four wins in singles and a sweep in doubles. Junior Daniel Hoffman (Atherton, Calif.) won at No. 2, senior Joel Samaha (Tampa, Fla.) won at No. 3, senior captain Erik Blumenkranz (Portola Valley, Calif.) won at No. 4, and Calvin Bennett '11 won at No. 6.
The Bulldogs beat Quinnipiac 6-1 last season, losing only at No. 2 singles.
Junior Marc Powers (Stamford, Conn.) enters the spring as the No. 2-ranked player in the Northeast Region, trailing only St. John's Vasko Mladenov. Powers went 9-4 in singles this past fall, with Mladenov accounting for two of those losses – including one in the final of the USTA/ITA Northeast Regional Championship. Powers and Hoffman are also ranked No. 3 in doubles, following a 9-3 performance this past fall.
This will be Yale's first formal competition since last October's Connecticut State Championships, where Hoffman won the singles title and Samaha and junior John Huang (Irvine, Calif.) won doubles.

Geek Roadtrips Through the Heartland 276
On a side note, the futility of my search seems soemwhat silly, as there are clearly people who use the internet in these towns. Anyhow, I really look forward to seeing your responses! Also, any high quality, unique dining reccomendations would be really appreciated. Also, funny roadside attractions or must see geek spots are welcome, as I intend on blogging my cross country trip as it happens and would like to have something to talk about other than the state lines I cross and the number of retreads I dodge.

LOWELL — Back at the end of January, Malden Catholic was fighting to keep its record above .500. On Sunday, the Lancers will be skating to add a third straight Super 8 championship to their program's recent history. Malden Catholic knocked of conference rival Catholic Memorial, 5-3, at Tsongas Center Wednesday night in a back-and-forth semifinal battle.
"It was a tough year, we had a little bump in the road in January, a lot of people doubting us and I thought the kids were doubting themselves a bit but they became a team during that time and it's carried on," Malden Catholic coach John McLean said.
The first period set the tone for this see-saw battle, with Malden Catholic's Tyler Sifferelen scoring three minutes in. Just over one minute later, the Knights' John Maher evened things at 1-1.
Ten minutes in, Malden Catholic sophomore Ara Nazarian scored his third shorthanded goal of the tournament, beating goalie Brendan Collett, to give his team a 2-1 lead.
But just 90 seconds later, the Knights answered again, cocaptain Jack O'Hear tying the game.
Nazarian's line began to take over in the beginning of the second period, Nazarian scoring just 29 seconds in, and the Lancers took that 3-2 lead into the final period.
Catholic Memorial scored first in the third, Liam Coughlin connecting at the 10-minute mark to give Knights fans hope. But Nazarian and Co. quickly dashed those, captain Mike Iovanna answering just over two minutes later.
"I was just trying to get it on net and it was a lucky bounce I guess," Iovanna said.
Nazarian completed a hat trick into an empty net with just 30 seconds left to play.
"There's really highly skilled kids on both teams, [Liam] Coughlin had great goal and Ara scores goals when you need him to score goals," McLean said.

I don't know but I've never really enjoyed watching Lara all that much. People say he has flair – which he does, obviously – but he doesn't have grace – he's so busy at the crease, and he's got that high, high backlift which I don't particularly love. As for who's better I don't care to be honest, they're both all time greats, but I'd say if Lara has the edge in sheer brilliance (and only just mind you – Ponting himself was a child prodigy) then Ponting would far supersede him on the mental side. Ponting's absolute belief in his ability and capacity to never let anything fluster him, to keep batting to its basics is extraordinary and why he is so consistent. I think he also gets a bad wrap in the watchability stakes. Sure he's not a beautiful batsman but I think he too has flair – he can punch off the back foot in a lovely fashion and his pull shot is one of my all time favourite strokes in terms of beauty. He plays it so easily and with so much time.
'It is hard to recall a batsman quite so serene, so unrushed, so unflappable.' Chris Ryan on ... look to the left. Ahhhh.
Tempted to Rolleyes that myself. I have nothing of the sort, nor has anyone really. It's nothing to do with rose-tinted glasses and everything to do with accepting reality.But this can easily be lost if one takes a dogmatic approach to discounting players from this period because you've got rose-tinted glasses about cricket in the 90s.

September 20, 2011 > New Cancer Treatments Take a Targeted Approach
Upcoming Seminar Features Experts in Cancer Care
In late August, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new drug called Crizotinib for the treatment of late-stage, non-small-cell lung cancer in patients with a mutation in a specific gene known as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). The drug, which is taken in pill form, inhibits an enzyme produced by the mutated gene, helping to shrink or stabilize tumors. "The survival rates for patients using this drug in clinical trials improved dramatically," says Dr. Vandana B. Sharma, a medical oncologist on the medical staff at Washington Hospital, as well as the medical director of Washington Hospital's Cancer Genetics Program. Get the latest about cancer treatment from the experts On Tuesday, September 27, to help people learn more about the latest advances in chemotherapy and radiation therapy, Dr. Sharma and her colleague Dr. Michael Bastasch, a radiation oncologist at the Washington Radiation Oncology Center, will present a free Health & Wellness seminar on these topics. The class, being held from 1 to 3 p.m., will take place in the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium located at 2500 Mowry Avenue in Fremont. To register to attend the seminar, visit www.whhs.com. Advancements in treatment, better outcomes Dr. Sharma points out that in one clinical trial of Crizotinib, 74 percent of the patients in the study were still alive after one year, and 54 percent were still alive after two years. Those figures compare to other studies using conventional chemotherapy for similar patients that found a 44 percent survival rate after one year and 12 percent survival after two years. "ALK-positive lung cancer represents only about 4 to 5 percent of all lung cancer cases," Dr. Sharma notes. While that may sound like a small group of people who might benefit from this drug, the National Cancer Institute estimates almost 220,000 new cases of lung cancer every year in the U.S., so 5 percent translates into 11,000 people. Crizotinib is only one of the new drugs targeted at specific cancer-causing gene mutations or at the molecular characteristics of cancer cells. Another new oral medication therapy recently approved by the FDA targets a gene mutation associated with an estimated 50 percent of melanoma skin cancers. "This drug, vemurafenib, is designed for people with melanoma whose tumors have a specific mutation in the BRAF gene that does not occur in normal cells," Dr. Sharma says. While vemurafenib is only for patients with the BRAF gene mutation, there also is a new intravenous drug called ipilimumab for treating late-stage melanoma in all patients. "Ipilimumab is another targeted therapy for cancer, but it targets an antibody on the T cells of the body's immune system, boosting the patient's own immune system to attack melanoma cancer cells," Dr Sharma explains. "The advances in cancer research are helping us better understand the differences between cancer cells and normal cells," she adds. "That is leading to the development of smarter drugs that target the abnormalities of cancer cells and the metabolic features that are critical to the growth and survival of cancer cells but not of normal cells. The result is better outcomes in terms of cancer cell destruction and survival rates, with less toxicity to normal cells." Targeted radiation therapy Targeted chemotherapy and gene therapy are not the only weapons in the arsenal in the battle against cancer. In some cases, surgery may still be the main treatment if it appears all of the tumor can be removed. In other cases, radiation therapy may be more effective. Quite often, though, the patient's treatment plan calls for a combination of therapies. "Radiation therapy targets only cells in the tumor and the immediate surrounding area, so it is used to control cancer at the primary site," explains Dr. Michael Bastasch, a radiation oncologist at the Washington Radiation Oncology Center. "While chemotherapy is used primarily to treat cancers that have spread to other parts of the body, it also can be used to reduce the size of a tumor before surgery or radiation therapy. Low-dose chemotherapy also can be used to concentrate the effects of radiation, making radiation therapy more effective." New technologies in radiation therapy have dramatically improved the effectiveness and safety of treatment over the past decade. "We offer the full gamut of advanced radiation therapy treatments, including intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and Gamma Knife radiosurgery," Dr. Bastasch says. "Using radiation therapy in combination with high-resolution CT scans, MRIs and PET scans, we can provide more accurate treatments and decrease the amount of normal tissue being exposed to radiation."Comprehensive care looks at whole patient With IMRT, physicians can adjust the intensity and shape of radiation beams to deliver high doses of radiation directly to tumors while avoiding healthy tissue. IGRT combines imaging and treatment capabilities to pinpoint the exact location of tumors before each dose of radiation is delivered. That compensates for the movement of tumors during the course of treatment and minimizes radiation exposure to healthy tissue. Gamma Knife radiosurgery can be used to treat brain tumors without surgical incisions or the side effects that often result from whole brain radiation therapy. "Having the latest technology in radiation therapy and advanced drugs helps improve the outcomes in cancer treatments," Dr. Bastasch says. "But it's important to integrate the various specialties into a comprehensive treatment plan that looks at the whole patient. At Washington Hospital, we have a local team of experts across various fields, which means patients don't have to drive an hour or more each way to receive treatment at a large university facility or medical center." The integration of care at Washington Hospital will be further enhanced with the addition of the new Sandy Amos Outpatient Infusion Center, which is scheduled to open later this fall. The center, named in recognition of staff nurse Sandy Amos, who recently retired after 36 years of service, will offer a comfortable environment for patients who require frequent infusions of chemotherapy or biological therapies. "With the combination of infusion and radiation therapy centers right on campus, we will have even better communication among physicians and closer coordination of patient care," says Dr. Bastasch.

Motorcyclists die in separate crashesBy staff writers
A motorcyclist killed in Alice Springs yesterday has been identified as 39-year-old Michael William Pedersen.
A close family friend has described the incident as a huge shock and an absolute tragedy.
Pedersen was riding in the same direction as a car on Ilparpa Road, south of the town, when the car slowed to turn into the Ilparpa Claypans.
Police say he attempted to overtake the car but collided with the vehicle as it turned, and died at the scene.
Mr Pedersen's death was followed by another fatal crash involving a motorbike just before 7am today, this time on the outskirts of Darwin.
A 29-year-old Irish man died after police said he clipped the rear end of a ute while overtaking a line of traffic and slid for about 100 metres up Thorngate Rd, near Robertson Barracks.
Watch Commander Geoff Bahnert said investigations were continuing but that excess speed was believed to be the cause.
"It appears the motorbike rider hasn't been able to avoid the car turning and has clipped the rear end of the ute, causing him to fly about 20 to 30 metres through the air before striking the ground and then travelling for a distance, before ending up on the side of the road," Sen-Sgt Bahnert said.
"His motorbike travelled on for another 40 metres down the road, and it's come to a rest in a grove of trees up the road there."
St John Ambulance paramedics were not able to resuscitate him as they rushed him to Royal Darwin Hospital.
Sen-Sgt Bahnert said the crash was avoidable.
"It could have been avoided if he had stayed in the line of traffic and just taken his turn, and proceeded on after everyone had gone into the barracks, then he would still be alive today," he said.
"Obviously speed and concentration's a factor.
"You know, travelling distances, it takes a while to stop.
"For every 10 kilometres you go, you're putting your life in your hands."
Road safety experts are also urging motorcyclists riding high-powered bikes to show restraint.
Marcus Mitchell, from Motorcyclist Education Training and Licensing, says powerful bikes can be extremely dangerous.
"They are even bigger than some car engines, and that power, put into a motorcycle, can be really unforgiving for inexperienced riders," Mr Mitchell said.
The road toll now stands at 19 compared with 23 at the same time last year.

|Advice Counsel:

|110 Centerview Dr, Columbia SC
**The Office of Advice Counsel is responsible for
providing legal advice to all Boards, Commissions
and Panels. These attorneys do not provide legal
advice to parties outside LLR.
As a public service, the South Carolina Building Codes Council, a division of the S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (LLR), offers consumers of modular homes the following purchasing and financing tips:
Buying Directly from a Manufacturer
Consumers may buy directly from a modular building manufacturer. If requested by a consumer, S.C. law requires the company to sell its product directly to a consumer. This eliminates any third-party seller.
If the sales representative refuses this request, you may lodge a complaint (pdf) against the manufacturer and its representative.
Financing "Out of Pocket" Items
At the time of closing, avoid financing incidental items that can be paid for out of pocket. These items include insurance, porches and steps. By adding these items to the loan amount, monthly payments are increased.
Why should a consumer avoid this practice? Over the length of the financing period, a consumer will pay two to three times more than the initial cost or value of the items.
Contract of Sale
A seller requires a contract of sale. This contract is a legal document binding the consumer and the seller to the terms of the sales agreement. Consumers should consult an attorney before signing any documents.
Once signed, the seller is obligated to provide the specific building and any other goods, equipment or services stated on the contract. Additionally, if the seller satisfies its obligation, the consumer is obligated to accept and pay for the building.
Most sellers have preprinted contract forms. A consumer may add language or conditions to the contract and has the right to state a delivery and installation date.
Keep the contract and all related paperwork in a safe place.
Upon delivery, thoroughly inspect the building. Make sure it is the exact building (year, make, model, color) that the seller agreed to provide by contract. If it is not the exact building, do not accept it unless satisfied that it is as much as, or more of a value than the original building. If it is of less value, a consumer has the right to rescind the deal or renegotiate the price.
Consumers do not have to accept a damaged building. The manufacturer or seller must repair a new modular building to meet the original design requirements of the manufacturer.
Label Location
All modular buildings must have a label issued by the S.C. Building Codes Council, attached to the electrical panel cover door.This label determines if a building is classified as modular by state law.
The label is white with black lettering. It bears the state seal at the top center. A red control number is on the left side under the state seal.
Placement of Labels
Labels issued for modular buildings are only valid for the first placement of the structure. Once the building is installed, the label has served its purpose and thus rendered invalid.
Unless the building is re-certified and relabeled in accordance with state law, any movement or subsequent placement will fall under the jurisdiction of the local building inspection department. It will be subject to inspections the building official deems necessary.
Used Buildings
In reference to a display or model unit, the initial installation of a modular building utilized for display purposes or as a model unit, is considered its first placement. Subsequently, the building is considered "used." If the building is sold and moved from its display location and not re-certified and relabeled, it will fall under the jurisdiction of the local building inspection department and may be subject to a variety of inspections.
Additions and Renovations
Modifications, additions or renovations made to any modular building must be in compliance with the current edition of the International Building Code series and the National Electrical Code. In addition, the building inspection department for the jurisdiction in which the building is located may require one or more permits and inspections.
Before any work is performed on or in a modular building, it is strongly suggested that the consumer contact a local building inspection department for guidance.
Deed to Property
Without the advice of an attorney, a consumer should not assign a "Quit Claim" or any other deed to real estate to a modular seller. The owner could lose the property.
Wind and Seismic Requirements
Modular buildings are designed and built to withstand certain wind speeds and certain earthquake loads. It is illegal to place a modular building in any area that has a higher wind or seismic classification than the building was designed and built to withstand.

Community Cinema: Reel Injun screening 10/5
Join KLRU and the Austin Public Library for free Community Cinema screenings on the first Tuesday of the month at the Windsor Park Branch Library (5833 Westminster Dr,). Screenings will start at 7 p.m. with a discussion to follow each of the films. This month's film is Reel Injun: On the Trail of the Hollywood Indian.
Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond takes a look at the Hollywood Indian, exploring the portrayal of North American Natives through a century of cinema. Traveling through the heartland of America, and into the Canadian North, Diamond looks at how the myth of "the Injun" has influenced the world's understanding — and misunderstanding — of Natives.
Reel Injun traces the evolution of cinema's depiction of Native people from the silent film era to today, with clips from hundreds of classic and recent Hollywood movies, and candid interviews with celebrated Native and non-Native film celebrities, activists, film critics, and historians.
Generous support received for KLRU
KLRU is very grateful to have received several recent commitments towards its ACL Studio Fund. Bettye & Bill Nowlin have made a generous contribution of $250,000 through the Austin Community Foundation. Pledges have been made by The Brown Foundation, Inc., of Houston, ($100,000) and the Still Water Foundation ($50,000).
We are thrilled that the Moody Foundation has pledged $50,000 toward our Grand Opening Street Party for the Moody Theater in February 2011. This gift will allow approximately 2,000 members of the general public to attend a free unveiling of the new Austin City Limits Stage and to enjoy festivities around the W Austin Hotel downtown, including a live, outdoor projection of the evening's highlights from inside the venue.
We are so fortunate to have enlisted the support of these partners — and we look forward to sharing the outcomes with Central Texas and beyond!
Review: Ken Burns newest documentary
Ken Burns' The Tenth Inning
Part 1: Tuesday, Sept. 28, at 7 p.m. (encore at 9 p.m.)
Part 2: Wednesday, Sept. 29, at 7 p.m. (encore at 9 p.m.)
What the HELL is Ken Burns thinking! With about a week to go in the Major League baseball season – with division and wild card races at a fever pitch – Mr. Burns has decided to release "The 10th Inning" addition to his ridiculously successful series "Baseball." After watching the just the first two hours(Top of the 10th) on a weekend when my own beloved Atlanta Braves were in the processes of sweeping the New York Mets to remain in the thick of the NL Wildcard race — I was left with such a baseball adrenaline rush that I felt the need to canvas the neighborhood to see if anyone wanted to play a little catch or maybe find a vacant lot to get a game going.
No I'm not kidding. This series needs a warning label. WARNING: Watching "The 10th Inning" could leave you lightheaded and in need peanuts and crackerjacks.
I think one reason for the strong emotion that washed over me as I watched this 4-hour addendum — came in part from the fact that I was reliving some of the most important baseball memories in my life. While Burns' "9th Inning" from the 1994 documentary relived my formative baseball years (Steve Carlton, Fernando Mania, the wizard of OZ…etc ) "The 10th Inning" is packed with some of my most loved players, teams and moments. It also feels the least like a history. I need innings 1 through 8 to learn about the greats that came and went before I was born. The 9th and new 10th innings instead provide a key to unlock my own baseball memories. I often found myself watching a key game and saying, "…I remember what I was doing then."
Now the show isn't all fun and games as it lays out the game from 1994 to 2009. It also has the arduous task of tackling major league baseball's steroid era. It shows the abuse and overuse of performance enhancers in a very balanced way…almost to the point of sugar coating how it all began. There is also plenty of blame spread around — from the players union, to the owners, to the players and even the fans – who labeled Barry Bonds a cheater while at the same packing every stadium he played in to see if he'd hit another home run. When talking about steroids — there are thousands of opinions to choose from — and "The 10th Inning" gives each a voice.
Overall "The 10th Inning" does a fabulous job of retelling the stories that are freshest in our baseball minds. With its content coming from the most recent events — in an age of ESPN — the show could have felt like a rehash that didn't provide any new information. But Burns easily overcomes this obstacle. As each story is laid out — there is at the very least a single nugget of new information that makes hearing the story again worthwhile. But most of the time — the interviews, still pictures and game footage provide enough raw emotion and great storytelling to satisfy the fan in all of us for years.
About the reviewer: Ben Philpott covers state politics and policy for KUT News and the Texas Tribune and has been an Atlanta Braves fan since 1989. When he's not at the Capitol, Ben can be found at home teaching his two girls the finer points of baseball and wondering why the younger one has decided to become an Astros fan
Review: Tenth Inning
Ken Burns' The Tenth Inning
Part 1: Tuesday, Sept. 28, at 7 p.m. (encore at 9 p.m.)
Part 2: Wednesday, Sept. 29, at 7 p.m. (encore at 9 p.m.)
From the opening notes of the pounding soundtrack of Ken Burns' Baseball: The 10th Inning, we realize that the game of baseball has moved on. We aren't watching a quaint documentary about the history of America's game, rather we're embarking on a new, sometimes dark, chapter in the story of the game.
It has often been written that the game of baseball is a metaphor for life. The 10th Inning proves this metaphor to be true. Burns' interwoven storytelling mixes together the highs and lows, the dark and light, the championships and the bitter defeats in such a way that we realize we cannot have one without the other.
Much of the documentary tracks the effects of two key events in recent baseball history, the fallout of the 1994 baseball work stoppage, and the rise in the use of steroids to enhance player performance. Burns not only documents the obvious negative aspects of both events, but also carefully shows how baseball owners, players, and fans grew the game, and created some of baseball's most memorable moments by reacting strongly to the strike and ignoring the use of performance enhancing drugs.
Ken Burns' Baseball: The 10th Inning is not just a documentary for hardcore baseball fans. Rather, this masterful film does for all of us what baseball has always done. Through its simplicity, it forces us to question what is truly important to us, regardless of how complicated our lives have become.

The Gaucho Record
UCSB opened 2009 with a 2-0 loss at Santa Clara and enters the weekend with an 0-1-0 record. The Gauchos completed the 2008 season with an overall record of 12-7-3 and a Big West mark of 5-2-1. The Gauchos finished second in the Big West regular season race, but won their first Big West Tournament and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
Gauchos Remain On The Road
The UCSB women's soccer team opened 2009 season on Sunday, Aug. 23 at 22nd-ranked Santa Clara, losing 2-0. The Gauchos will remain on the road this week as they play at Nevada on Friday, Aug. 28 and at Sacramento State on Sunday, Aug. 30. In fact, Santa Barbara will play seven of its first eight regular season games away from home. The only home game over that span will be a Thursday, Sept. 3 contest against Michigan State which will kick-off at 7:00 p.m. Including the Spartans, who advanced to the 2nd round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament, UCSB will play four postseason teams during the non-conference schedule. On Sept. 6, the Gauchos travel to Illinois, a Sweet 16 team in 2008. On Sept. 9, they play at William & Mary, which went to the 2nd round, and on Sept. 27, they host UCLA, a Final Four team.
The Opponents
The Gauchos are 3-0 lifetime against Nevada. The last time the teams met was on Aug. 22, 2008 with UCSB posting a 4-0 victory. Santa Barbara and Sacramento State have played four times with the Gauchos going 2-1-1 in those four games. The teams last played in 2001 when they tied 1-1.
UCSB Picked To Win Big West
The Gauchos were picked to win the Big West Conference in a vote of the league's nine coaches. UCSB claimed five first-place votes and 75 points to capture the favorite's role. Three-time defending Big West regular season champion Long Beach State accumulated 67 points and two first-place votes. Cal Poly was third with 65 points and one first-place vote and Pacific was third with 53 points and one first-place nod.
Gauchos Aim For Return Trip To NCAA Tournament
In 2008, on the strength of a pair of dramatic shootout wins in the Big West Tourney, the Gauchos earned their first automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament ever, and their first bid period since 1991. In all, UCSB has now gone to eight NCAA Tournaments.
Stumpf Close To School Record
Paul Stumpf is in his 11th year as the head coach of the Gauchos. In his first 10 seasons, Stumpf piled-up 99 victories and needs just one to hit the century mark. More than that, however, one more win at Stumpf will pull even with Tad Bobak for the most in school history. Bobak guided the UCSB women's soccer team from 1987-94, finishing with a record of 100-43-7.
Ives Leads Offensive Returnees
Senior forward Genelle Ives leads a talented a deep front line group for the 2009 Gauchos. Ives, who was selected Big West Offensive Player of the Year in 2008 after scoring nine goals and producing seven assists for a team-high 25 points, played just 15 minutes in the season opener at Santa Clara because she is coming back from a leg injury. Her time could increase this weekend. She enters her final season with career numbers of 22 goals and 17 assists for 61 points. Ives ranks 9th all-time in goals, tied for 10th in assists, and 11th all-time in points.
Lending A Hand
The healthy return of Genelle Ives will obviously be a major boost to Gaucho fortunes in 2009. The return of junior forward Kylie McDonald is a huge positive as well. McDonald transferred to UCSB from Pepperdine for the 2008 season and she did not disappoint. She was named Second Team All-Big West after scoring five goals and eight assists for 18 points. Her eight assists tied her for most on the team. McDonald returns in 2009 as one of the starters at wide striker.
Kugler Is The Finisher
As a freshman in 2007, forward Kailyn Kugler was forced to play a major role in UCSB's offense. Injuries to several key players turned her into a starter and she responded by leading the team with six goals. In 2008, Kugler proved that her 2007 performance was no accident as she scored seven goals - second on the team - and added four assists for a total of 18 points, tied with Kylie McDonald for third on the team.
Simon Says Don't Forget About Her
Junior Jacqui Simon played mostly forward in 2007 tallying two goals and one assist. After moving back to her more familiar midfield position in 2008, she responded by scoring six goals and eight assists for 20 points. Her point total was second on the team and her assist total tied for the team-lead. For her efforts, Simon was named First Team All-Big West. In 2009, she is the top returnee among a talented midfield group.
Lots Of Other Options In The Midfield
Senior Sarah Stoltz has been a consistent starter during her first three years at UCSB and was again in the starting lineup in the opener at Santa Clara. Brooke Salyer, who missed 2008 because of an injury, returned as a starter at center midfield on Sunday. Another sophomore who should ultimately see time as an attacking center midfielder is Katy Roby, who also scored a pair of goals last season. She missed the opener at Santa Clara with a leg injury. Sophomore Cory Yoshida came off the bench at Santa Clara.
Defensive Adjustments
UCSB is also be deep on the back line, and by all accounts the defenders played very well in the season-opener at Santa Clara. Junior Julia Speace, who has started each of her first two years, was in the starting lineup at right back. Alyssa Benjamin, a left-footed sophomore, started at left back and if she can stay healthy she will probably continue to. Two other sophomores, Alyssa Oldham, who made 13 starts as a freshman, and Kat Matthew, a transfer from Santa Clara, came off the bench in the opener. Sophomore Alexa Stringer, who made 11 starts before being sidelined with an injury in 2009 and junior Nicole Romanowski, who is sliding back from her more natural midfield position, started in the middle.
Making The Cut
If junior Tammy Lenham can stay healthy - after suffering season-ending shoulder injuries each of the last two seasons - she is expected to start. If she doesn't, then sophomore Ali Cutler, who stepped-in and stepped-up in 2008. Cutler made the start in the opener at Santa Clara and had eight saves. One of the goals she allowed in the-2-0 defeat to the 22nd-ranked Broncos was on a penalty kick. Cutler also had one spectacular save from point-blank range in the first half that preserved a scoreless tie at the time.
Fresh Faces
Two freshmen saw action in the opener. Forwards Victoria Thomas and Mady Johnson each came off the bench.

Hes only recently developed his swimming skills, and is lacking in water confidence in deep water. we've done a lot of treading water and jumping in the deep end of the pool, and hes got a lot better. we were thinking of heading out Wednesday with the boards when its flat to get him used to deeper water and do some swimming. Does anyone have any advice or exercises we should do while out We are planning a trip to Devon, Cornwall and Swansea in march so would like to help him become more confident, as i think hes getting a bit down over it.

Panama City, FL--- The Gulf Coast baseball team swinging some hot bats against a northern team that's still working itself into shape Monday, a 15-2 win over Kalamazoo out of Michigan.
The Commodores getting an opposite field two run home run from sophomore Tyler Dial in the bottom of the first. Tevin Johnson, who made a nifty catch in the top of the first, also delivered two runs in the bottom half with a sharp single to right.
Johnson then added another run on a sacrifice fly in the third and the Commodores would add ten more to win in run-rule fashion, taking their record to 16-8. They will host another northern team Kankakee Tuesday at 5 p.m.
The attached video shows the following:
A rather good start for the Commodores, righty Dalton Kelly on the hill, getting the defense in the first, nice diving catch in right by Trevin Johnson.
Then in the bottom half, some big time swings from the Commodores, first lefty Tyler Dial, the sophomore out of Phenix City, goes the opposite way with a man aboard, it's 2-0.
Next hitter is Trevin Hall, the sophomore out of Sneads, with an absolute bomb, no doubt about the distance, but the wind blowing in from right pushes it foul. Still Hall would single, Dakato Spikes would double, and both would score on Johnson's sharp single to right, Spikes sliding in under the tag.

I installed SL 4.0r1 and then done a equo world update on 2 computers. On both systems when I get to the login screen or when I logout which takes me back to the login screen, the sabayon artwork 4.1 displays all jumbled or sometimes I get the TV snow effect. The login boxes and bottom menu still appears fine, so I can still login.
I did notice that when doing a world update, that there was a lot of file collisions when sabayon-artwork-core was installed. I tried to then reinstalled sabayon-artwork-core again, but no change. I did not have this problem with the 4.0 artwork.
Any ideas. Thanks

The obvious but some sad sad sad facts are....
1 goal in 120 mins of the first two games of a very important series.
Accurate passing has left the organization.
The Pens have lost any form of identity about the mid way point in game 1 forward. To borrow the phrase from the great Herb brooks, they look like a monkey trying to..you know what...to a football.
Goal tending confidence is shattered. How can there me much confidence right now in either goalie.
The offense fights to get the puck in the zone only for it to systematically be removed in text book form by the Bruins. Then the Pens have a difficult time getting the puck out of their own zone.
Crosby/Malkin..zero points and a minus 6.
Jagr is still so difficult to defend while Iginla has been an empty sweater. From a Boston perspective sometimes what you don't get is a blessing in disguise. Also the Boston sneaky forecheck is killing the Pens. They just get that forward free in the slot several times a period. This will be a short series if the Pens can't address this simple little defensive break down.
I believe Bylsma is really close to losing the two ounces of control he had of this team. He has no spine. He is too arrogant. A terrible combo. He refuses to say boo to any star players yet he also refuses to adjust his very own free wheeling system. That makes sense.
After the first 30 mins of game 1 the Bruins have had an easy go of it. The Pens are self destructing at an alarming rate. You know the Isle and Senators are saying where was this Pens team when we played them.
On a bright note the Pens have played so badly that it can only get better. The Bruins have played so well it can only drop off for them a bit.
If Bylsma stays arrogant and stubborn the Pens are doomed. If Bylsma takes off his ego hat and makes some critical adjustments this series can get back to really interesting status.
To this point only one black and gold team has shown up and they aren't from western PA.

Peter Zezel Laid To Rest
Friday May 29, 2009
CityNews.ca Staff
Friends, family, and famous faces from the hockey fraternity turned out in large numbers to pay their final respects to Peter Zezel on Friday at Saint Sava's Serbian Orthodox Church in Mississauga. The 44-year-old former NHLer passed away Tuesday after a long battle with a rare blood disorder.
Zezel was a key member of the 1993 Leafs, which came within a game of the Stanley Cup finals. He was a tenacious forward who was revered for his face-off skills, but more importantly, he was a generous, thoughtful man off the ice, and it was those qualities that resonated most.
Zezel, a Toronto native, was a star with the Jr. A Marlboros before being drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers. He went on to play for numerous NHL teams during a career that spanned 15 years.
Along the way he racked up 608 points.
Upon retirement, he stayed active in the community, running popular hockey and soccer camps in the GTA. He also coached the Don Mills Flyers of the GTHL.
According to former Leaf and teammate Doug Gilmour, it was his work with kids that meant the most to him.
"He was there as a teacher and for these guys as a friend too," he said outside the funeral home.
"It's a shock and we're all disappointed, we all loved him, we still can't believe it."
"He was a tremendous athlete and just a good team player. The two years that we made the conference final, he was a big reason why we made it," added former Leafs GM Cliff Fletcher.
Wendel Clark was another former teammate with fond memories of the man he affectionately calls 'Zez'.
"Well Zez was a great guy, loved playing the game, loved sports, loved life, and that's the best part about Zez, is from the hockey playing days to post career, coaching the kids, and whether it was soccer or hockey, (he loved) being around people," Clark said.
"It's a tough one for everybody."
"He was just an ambassador for the game and an ambassador for how to live life and have fun."
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made in Zezel's name to the James Birrell Fund at the Hospital for Sick Children. Birrell is an eight-year-old boy who died of
, a fight he managed with the courage that Zezel also displayed in his own battle with a serious illness.

Here's a look back on Zezel's career on the ice.
Zezel got noticed early in the city where he would one day become a fixture. He played for the Toronto Marlboros between 1982 and 1984, impressing scouts with 82 goals in just two seasons.
That helped him get noticed and get drafted. He wound up being picked 41st overall in the '83 NHL Entry Draft and was selected by the Flyers for his offensive punch. It would not take long for them to realize what a gem they'd found.
Philadelphia Flyers
He spent eight seasons with his original team, starting in 1984. He finished that first year with 16 goals, 46 assists - a team record for a rookie - and 61 points overall, coming in fifth in Rookie of the Year voting. And what a start - he reached the Stanley Cup finals that first year, before the team lost to the Oilers. He was just 19.
By the 86-87 season, Zezel was not only still a Flyer, he was flying. He scored a career-high 33 goals and finished with 72 points. Another trip to the finals yielded the same result - a loss to the Oilers.
In 1986, he appeared off ice and on screen in the film Youngblood.
St. Louis Blues
There were more career bests when Zezel was traded to the Blues for the 1988-89 season, notching 49 assists and 70 points. Another Zezel team was playoff bound and he impressed his teammates by leading the Blues with 6 goals and 12 points in just 10 games.
He would return there for another tenure between 1995 and 1997.
Washington Capitals
His stop in the U.S. capital wasn't an especially productive or long one. He was there for just 20 games in 1990, still managing seven goals and five assists.
Toronto Maple Leafs
He came home to his dream team and despite not spending a full season here, he wound up with 14 goals and 14 assists. The next year, his output grew to 16 goals and 33 assists, a 49 point season. Pat Burns' arrival as coach led to him being reassigned as a defensive specialist and while his output plummeted his contributions were as major as ever.
He was one of the spark plugs that led the Leafs to within a game of the Stanley Cup finals back in '93. The next year, he scored the overtime winner in Game 1 of the Western Finals.
Injuries began to take their toll and he would miss several games with a back injury. He spent four seasons with the Leafs and despite going on to other teams, many here remember him best in the Blue and White.
Dallas Stars
It's 1994 and Zezel suffers one of the biggest disappointments of his career, thanks to a knee injury that only allowed him to play 30 games.
New Jersey Devils
Things went from bad to worse in 1997, when he wound up in New Jersey and then was forced down to the minors. He did well enough to return to the big club, scoring 17 points in just 25 games.
Vancouver Canucks
His final NHL stop came out west in 1997, where he played 66 games for the Canucks. We'll never know what might have happened after that. When his niece in Toronto was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 1999, he requested a trade to a team that would allow him to be closer to home. But instead GM Brian Burke sent him to Anaheim, which was even farther away.
An upset Zezel announced his retirement and came back home, winning the admiration of his teammates and fans for a selfless act that had followed what was perceived as Burke's crass one.
Post Career
His final stats: 873 games, 219 goals, 389 assists and total of 608 points. But it was his off ice activities that cemented his relationship as an all time good guy. He started the Peter Zezel Hockey and Sports Camp in 1998, teaching what he'd learned to young kids with NHL dreams.
The disease that would eventually claim his life, Hemolytic Anemia, was diagnosed in 2001. The rare blood disorder and the medications used to combat it caused him to gain a dangerous amount of weight, and for some time his health was in dire jeorpary. Somehow, he managed to recover before it got worse in 2009 and he was forced to undergo chemotherapy.
Earlier this week, following an operation to have his spleen removed, he developed complications, and complained of severe headaches. Further surgery revealed a brain haemorrhage. He went into a coma and with no chance of recovery, his family made the tough decision to take him off life support.
A true champion to the end, Zezel's loved ones made the decision to donate his organs to help others. He died on May 26th, at the age of just 44.

UMKC Celebrates 2013 Alumni Award Recipients
Awards luncheon garners $200,000 for student scholarships.
Swinney Recreation Center was transformed into a glittering ballroom for 600 guests who turned out to honor Alumni Award recipients and to kick off the campus' 80th anniversary.
In the event's opening video, Chancellor Leo Morton said the luncheon was a way to "celebrate what it means to be a part of this university. Whether you are a student, alumnus, faculty and staff or a friend, here at UMKC, you are part of something special."
Hosted by the UMKC Alumni Association, the 2013 Alumni Awards luncheon honored 16 alumni and one family, as well as the 2013 Chancellor's Medal recipient: the UMKC Board of Trustees. The annual luncheon is the university's largest event and proceeds support student scholarships.
"One of the reasons it is such a joy to work on this event has been our focus on students," said luncheon co-chair Raymond Cattaneo, M.D. '03. "So many of us owe our professional lives to the grace of receiving scholarship aid. Many of our alumni awardees might not be where they are today had it not been for the generosity of alumni and friends who 'paid it forward' so they could attend school. So we thank all of you who bought a ticket, a table, a sponsorship or made a direct contribution to this year's scholarship fund."
Cattaneo and co-chair Michelle Wimes, B.A. '88, announced to the packed crowd that a record-breaking $200,000 was raised for immediate aid and endowed scholarship support, the most in the history of the awards. Wimes and Cattaneo then told guests that the Board of Trustees had offered to match any gifts received at the luncheon up to $5,000 to add to the grand total.

Good find. Man Traxxas is going to be selling some stuff like hot cakes for Christmas. That's cheap for a display unit to slap your lid on and show it off.
BTW luv ur sig.
Weak Revenge
Strong Forgive
Intelligent Ignore
One thing I noticed: "Body not included, each sold separately."
So, $50 for the chassis and how much more for a body? $20?
He Who Dies With the Most Toys Wins.
Haha good luck finding a shell for $20 currently selling on ebay for usually up around $70+
If i had a FC i would find a way to make those Headers work on the drivable model. Those look great.
That's not a bad price considering what you shell out for a set of slicks right now haha.
These bodies are coming directly from Traxxas and we should expect them to be cheap, maybe more than $20, but not $70... When is Traxxas going to wake up about this for all the other models???
He Who Dies With the Most Toys Wins.
someone should make that into a real chassis.
He Who Dies With the Most Toys Wins.
yeah that's why i don't feel bad as a Canadian, that i cant buy from there...
Why haven't they released a clear body yet? That's what i want to know. Wonder if Proline is gonna beat them to the punch.
Amain sells the Force crew shells for $87.99
Curiosity got the better or me.
Cameron - I just deciphered your tag line!!!!! HAHA! nice!
Its my gift to the Forum. lol.
potatoe-potato lol.
On topic though im still amazed at myself for never pulling the trigger on one of these. I got very excited to pick one up when i first saw one, and even more excited when i walked into the LHS and saw one on the shelf for display.
Site says out of stock but add says available now? Any word on when for this and the clear bodies? Really wish when announcing stuff it would be avaialabe with announcement! Love my car and really want to display other body plus check out how to use headers on running car !
Paying $50 more to display the body that came on your $500 car. Now that's funny.
Why? Are they worthless garbage, or a commodity valuable to some? This is our amazingly successful free-market system, in which supply and demand are the driving forces. There will be a correction soon enough, but until then please tell me why people should not pay to play.
Alt-248 on the number pad = °
I think it's pretty clear what I said, since Traxxas doesn't sell full pre-painted bodies for all the trucks, they force me to buy them from eBay when I ruin the one that came with the truck. I don't have any other option if I want to run my truck, I don't want and I don't like to trim or paint clear bodies.
Why is that Traxxas sells every single part for all the trucks but not the full pre-painted bodies? How hard is to sell them separatelly if they are already making them for the trucks? I've been requesting this for years now.
I think eBay is a great market place, biding or buying parts is awesome there (tell me, I have almost 1000 stars), but when you have to pay incredible high and unreasonable prices for a body from a selected group of seller, in that particular case, a free-market system is no longer free.

He Who Dies With the Most Toys Wins.
The best option for you would be to purchase a Prographix body where all you have to do is shoot one color of paint on it, peel off the overspray protection and put the window decals on and BAZINGA, it looks almost identical to the stock body. No trimming required. There is no skill required to paint it either because all the crazy and awesome graphics are pre-applied so you just have to shoot 3-4 light coats of paint onto the inside of the body.
Prographics w/o a backer paint looks pretty slick too.
The color scheme, graphics of the full size version's sponsors, are all considerd in every single sponsorship graphic displayed on their car... I would imagine there are some financial agreements that are made when a "Replica" body of a Professional race car that is highly sponsored by other companies. Probably other legal stipulations as well...
I'm sure everyone has their hands in their pockets....
All Lives Matter
United We Stand, Divided We Fall
Even so, it is not surprising that people want these items. What is surprising that people would suggest that Traxxas should move away from their immensely successful business model. It is unfortunate that your personal request has not been granted for years, but I suppose we all will have to learn to live with these little disappointments.

Ordered mine Friday. As far as 50.00 to display a car goes, I want to show the folks at the LHT what a couple bodies that are available look like. I really didn't want to spend upwards of a hundred dollars for a roller chassis. I got a Hight body signed and want to keep it in great shape. This will help display it better! Sorry if some don't agree but each to his own.
You know, the answer to overpriced parts on newly released cars (which is why the parts are so pricy) is to buy a new car and sell off the rest of the parts for what you paid, keeping the body for yourself, often for close to nothing. Ive done this many times (like when the fiesta rally first came out). Its surprising how much the rest of the car is actually worth. Especially the funny car as many really want that power system. Im sure you could end up with a body that cost around $50 max if you sold the parts well. More work, but saves money.
FWIW, have you ever checked out what HPI sells a fully painted Blitz body for... its ridiculous. IMO traxxas is very fair in their pricing of clear bodies.
I really like the exhaust pipes on this chassis!...I wonder if traxxas will offer them separately? of course they wouldnt last long in a roll over...lol...
I want a set of the pipes for mine too!, would finish it off nicely!
PHOENIX Bandit,Summit,Funny Car,Darkrayne Rustler
Headers: Traxxas #6985
Other parts look like they are coming down the pipeline.
The Super Derecho
SWEET!!!....hope they are available soon....
went to john force holiday car show over the weekend ! and the full size one
What I can't believe, Daniel, is that you haven't started making a 16th scale dragster or one that uses four drive wheels or something else awesome like all your other custom projects!

A Hood River video store owner is facing a late fee of the most serious kind.
Encore Video on the Heights is in danger of closing next week following seizure by Hood River County Sheriff's Department of most of the store's DVDs, all available Blu-Ray units and computer games.
"Barring some kind of an angel, God intervening, the store will probably be closed by the end of the next week," said owner Cheryl Herman, unless she can come up with $75,000 to pay off her debt to the Portland-based media company Rentrak.
Herman had owed $124,000 to Rentrak after she fell behind on payments in a revenue-sharing agreement made in 2008. Rentrak filed a complaint in Multnomah County courts, which ordered the merchandise be seized.
"I made a poor business decision in 2008," Herman said, "a revenue-sharing program that I got in over my head with, and between fees and penalties they ended up getting a judgment for $124,000."
All of the new releases and catalog DVDs and games she had in stock were removed April 8-9, and Rentrak has since offered to accept $75,000 if Herman can come up with it by Wednesday. A court-ordered sheriff's sale is scheduled for Thursday.
"I've been trying to find a way. If I could find someone with $75,000; but I can't find anyone with $75,000 to invest in a video store," Herman said.
The VHS catalog was untouched, leading many customers to "dust off their VCRs" and rent the tapes as a way to help keep the business going, Herman said
What supporters have come up with are their own DVDs for her to use to rent.
"When people started finding out Saturday what was going on, they started dropping off videos to put in the store, so we would have some stuff on the shelf," Herman said. Herman said her children cleared off their shelves at home.
The Dalles Video loaned her 1,600 videos and helped out at the store on April 9.
"It's kind of amazing how much we've been able to fill back in," Herman said, adding that "business had been picking up every month since we moved into the location." In May 2010 Encore moved from its longtime home on Tucker Road (now The Next Door Inc.) a few blocks north next to Rosauers.
"There's been a lot of support and prayers from the community. It's amazing how much we've got," Herman said.
Kyra Rudhe of Hood River said Thursday she had 200 DVDs at home she would bring in for Herman to rent out.
"I just want to do whatever I can to help. This small business is a real asset to the community. Our family has grown up with this video store. I would hate to see it go away. And Cheryl is a truly wonderful person," Rudhe said.
"I love this community," said Herman, who bought the store from Rod Ninomiya in 2007.
"I don't want to close the store," Herman said. "We'd lose the home if I can't run the business because we can't pay the second mortgage without the income from the store.
"$75,000 is the difference between the business continuing on, and it's been flourishing," Herman said.
Rentrak officials were contacted but declined to comment because it is "continuing litigation."
Herman said "I offered to give up the games and new releases, and allow me to have the catalog titles back and the TV wall so I could go ahead and put stuff back on the shelves and make payments, and they said no."

Potato Chips, Scotch, Basketball…Johnson – It's All About Creating Demand
Jarvie has proven his point with all of those products and more during a career that has included senior roles at Procter and Gamble, Dr. Pepper, Fidelity Investments, Schenley Industries, New Era Beverage Company, Universal Sports America, Host Communications, Streetball Partners, and more.
Now, with a $1 million gift over the next five years, he hopes to help create a higher level of demand for Johnson and its graduates. The Charles and Janet Jarvie Executive Director of Marketing Fund will support hiring a senior marketing professional. "I want to try to help the school become as good in marketing to its customers as it is in educating its students," he says. "I want Johnson to be a top-five school – to attract outstanding students who will do well in the business world and in turn make a higher contribution to the school. The intrinsic value is there. The school does a fine job and is worthy of support. It just needs marketing."
This marketing fund is the latest in a number of generous gifts Jarvie has made to Johnson over the years. "I was honored to go to Cornell," he says, and he credits his undergraduate experiences in the ILR and Arts schools and his graduate MBA program with learning how to learn, and to appreciate learning. In particular, he recalls Professor Frank Gilmore. "He taught manufacturing. I was a marketing major, but I loaded up on his courses because he was the only one who taught the case method. He gave us a complicated case at the start of the week, and we had to work it out over the course of the week. He encouraged us to work with other students. This was the first time in my experience that the professor didn't tell you what the problem was. He just gave us a whole set of facts, and the process of figuring out the problem or main opportunity was generic."
Throughout his career, Jarvie used what he learned at Cornell to identify opportunities and create demand, and he continues to do so. Over the past several years, he has looked for opportunities inherent in "avalanches" – societal changes at the macro level such as the aging of the population, Mexican immigration, and the development of communication technology. Explaining his approach, he says, "I want to get products and services in front of these. Then I have to talk about the product. Ninety percent of people who talk about products talk about features. The marketing person talks about benefits. It sounds simple, but it is not. Benefits for whom? You go from internal to external, looking at minds and habits. It's the difference between deductive and inductive logic. If you have an avalanche of some sort and a group of consumers can benefit, then you have a marketing opportunity."
Currently, Jarvie is applying these concepts in several ventures. Of the first, he says, "One avalanche in the southwest is drought. Climate change is real, and there are a lot of effects of water shortage. Grass is one of them. A couple of years ago, I got into the artificial turf business. You can put it in lawns or public spaces. The payout is four or five years of water payments, but the product lasts 20 years" –clearly yielding a financial benefit to the buyer.
Another of the avalanches Jarvie sees is in the medical industry, and he focused in on the medical management side. "There's a tremendous amount of consolidation required when an individual physician works within a large hospital. We found a company that's really good at integrating physician offices into hospital systems and grew it from $3 million four years ago to $150 million today. We did not create the market; we read it."
Yet another of Jarvie's current ventures is in broadcast media. "We were going from mass to specific, looking for an affinity interest, in which people share an interest so strongly that they will suspend economic rationality to pursue it. It is not a shared interest, it is a shared passion." The avalanche Jarvie saw for this venture: the growth of the Asian population in the United States. "So we put a company together to retain the rights to many of the Asian sports and created a new Asian sports cable channel which is now carried by about 70 percent of the cable companies."
With inspiration from Jarvie's example and funding from his generous gift, Johnson will soon take the next steps toward escalating demand for admission and for Johnson graduates. Watch for it to happen.

Artist Interview: David Sandonato (aka DavidArts)Posted: March 19, 2012 Filed under: Interview, Microstock, Photography 2 Comments
Every month we feature one of our illustrators or photographers. This month we talk to illustrator David Sandonato, based in Italy, who goes by the alias DavidArts.
How did you get started in illustration?
DS: Three and a half years ago, I saw an article in a magazine about the microstock photography industry. I was curious about this new market and after some research on the web, I found major microstock sites. Then I discovered that this market was also suitable for illustrators. Since I was a child, pencil design, oil and airbrush painting and later all digital art were a huge passion for me. So I started learning Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator. After two weeks, I was accepted to the first site. From that day on, I've created new vectors every day and submitted them on a weekly basis.
Who or what inspires your work?
DS: A keypoint for contributors is to understand what buyers need. In my case, there's nothing better than browsing bestselling vectors to see actual trends. Once you've found the "theme" that's popular, you can start to use your imagination to create something competitive to add to the game. I always try to be aware of trends. 50% of my submissions are related to current trends. The other 50% are subjects like backgrounds, disco flyers – whatever inspires me – with no limitations.
What are your favorite images from your collection?
DS: I love to design images for Disco Flyers. I also love to design Vintage labels as well as holiday-inspired illustrations.
Recently I've started to design website templates like this or this.
What's your favorite subject matter?
DS: One of my favourite subjects is Disco Flyers, full of music related elements and an explosion of colours. I also like to create Vintage Labels, Christmas (and other holiday related) illustrations, abstract backgrounds and website designs. I honestly don't have a specific favourite subject, the most important thing is that my eyes are satisfied with my creation.
Describe your style. What do you try to capture in your images?
DS: I don't know if I have a particular style, but many of my friends said they've easily recognized my images due to my colour combinations. I usually use bright colours to enhance shapes and composition. I hope the first visual impression of my illustrations induces the viewer to meditate a few seconds on my image and explore it in all its parts. I think color choice is one of the most important things for a successful vector, along with the shapes used and the overall composition.
If you had to pick just one medium, program or tool to work with from now on, what would it be?
DS: Adobe Illustrator is a must for vectors. It should be your only choice or at least your final step before creating a vector file.
What do you do when you're not working?
DS: Great question! I have so many passions. I like to ride my Harley Davidson (painted and modified by myself), go to the gym everyday or go fishing (in the right season). I also like to ride my mountain bike off-road and I really love to catch some sun on the beach! Even though my main job is to create vector illustrations, it really is one of my passions. The idea of "doing what you like to do for your job" is one of the most amazing thing in my life.
What one tip would you share with someone who's just starting out in the stock industry?
DS: The microstock industry is a really serious business, where only a mix of perseverance, ability and adaptability can help you become a full-time illustrator. If your target is to sell thousands of images every day, you'll have to build a very big portfolio. You need to focus on quality and quantity, as both are important. Start to design and create every day and never stop. Every new creation will be better than the previous. Like in every business, you have to believe in yourself.
David adds: By the Way… I'm an electronic engineer but I feel more like an artist who has chose to work with his passions.

Hi David,
Congratulations with being artist of the month – nice read.
With your portfolio size and quality I'm genuinely amazed you have time for things other than illustrating 🙂

(MCT) SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Louis Nix's mother participated in one Senior Day. For his high school basketball team, not his football team, and the difference is as vast as Notre Dame's nose guard himself.
"That wasn't the same thing," Nix said Monday. "I didn't get a lot of praise in basketball, besides five fouls in a minute, maybe."
And because his mother's work precluded her from attending that football Senior Day, and because that brought her to tears, Nix decided to give her another one. He will return to the Irish in 2013 along with standout left tackle Zack Martin, both players quickly opting to spurn the NFL in decisions announced by Irish coach Brian Kelly.
Nix is the prototype anchor of Notre Dame's defense after recording 51/2 tackles for a loss and five pass break-ups as a junior.
"She knows I have this big opportunity, she knows this will help us all out, but at the same time I believe she knows what's best for me," Nix said of his mother. "At the end of the day, what if football doesn't work out? She wants me to fall back on something."
Martin has been the Irish's best offensive lineman three years running and initial feedback projected him as a possible second-round pick.
"I wanted to play with my little brother (Nick), I wanted to finish it out with (guard Chris) Watt, and ultimately I want to play another year with (line) coach (Harry) Hiestand," Martin said. "He's taken my game to a new level this year and I know another year will get me even better."
Tailback Cierre Wood will wait for NFL feedback before making his decision, Kelly said. Wood's mother told the Tribune last month her son was "70-30" leaning toward the NFL.
Quick answers: The fractured Big East has Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick seeking answers about what's left for 2013-14 within the next month or so — "maybe even sooner," he said.
"You've got to try to push people," Swarbrick said. "That's a little bit of the challenge for us: How do you accelerate the discussion? How do you get some clarity? I don't know where the point is, but there is a point where I can't have our teams at risk of not knowing what they're doing."
Extra points: Receiver DaVaris Daniels (broken clavicle) is "going to be able to be a key contributor for us" in the title game, Kelly said. ... Backup offensive linemen Ronnie Stanley (elbow) and Matt Hegarty (undisclosed) both had surgery and will not play against Alabama.
Nix, Martin to return for the Irish
