What Makes Us Tick? - Turn Five
Contemplating why we do what we do… at 11:30 at night
It was about 11:30 last night when I finally looked at the clock and realized that neither Pete nor I had stopped to eat dinner...hmmm, that explains those hunger pangs. Here we were thrashing on the "race" truck he talked about last month in his column. We have a hard deadline on this thing and since much of it is outside the scope of our daily business of the magazine we opt to work on it at night. And we have been pulling some pretty late ones with even more to come.
Somewhere in between cutting the crossmember off and digging a piece of metal out of my finger, my mind wandered off and I began to think of how many times each week our scenario played out in shops all across America. The answer is easy and obvious—a lot. Many, if not most of the readers of this magazine, are no different than us. We all have to work for a living to support not only our racing addiction but pay a mortgage, car payment, and, oh yeah, put food on the table for our families. Forty hours at the job, sixty hours in the shopsound familiar?
So why exactly do we do it? Why subject ourselves to the extreme demands on time, stress on getting the car ready, and I won't even mention the amount of money we spend doing this. What really does make a racer tick? While the answer to that question may be different for each one of us, there is a common theme. Somewhere in our individual pasts there was a moment when we got hooked on racing. Most often it's a family member who is responsible for getting the addiction started. For me it was my father, but for Dad it was his grandmother (shown in the early 60's picture below).
My father grew up in Jersey City, New Jersey, which is just across the river from lower Manhattan. He lived in a small apartment with his parents and paternal grandmother. Every Saturday night his parents (Peg and Bob) would go out dancing, to dinner with friends, or somewhere else. You see, Saturday was their night. That left Grandma to watch over little Charles. Well, Grandma's idea of a good time was to take the bus to Roosevelt Stadium for some jalopy racing. It was the early '50s and no rules (or few rules) run-what-ya-brung was the norm. Those Saturday nights got racing into my dad's blood and, of course, he passed it on to me. Not surprisingly, generation No. 3 of the Fisher boys has already been bitten by the racing bug.
I called racing an addiction in this column and I meant it in a good way. Racing has brought our family closer together and kept us very tight. It's a passion of ours, born from working long nights in the shop. There is really no place we'd rather be than at a racetrack or in the shop. It's who we are and that is why we do what we do, and I'm pretty sure that's not all that different from all of you.
By the way, Roosevelt Stadium was not just a 1/4-mile shale oval racetrack, it was also the baseball stadium that hosted the major league debut of Jackie Robinson on April 18, 1946.
Until next month go fast and turn left.
P.S. The first person who can correctly email me the year, make, and model of the car she is standing next to will get a Circle Track hat! Send to email@example.com

ROCKFORD — A 32-year-old Rockford man is being held in the Winnebago County Jail after allegedly attempting to rob the Associated Bank at 612 N. Main St. while naked.
According to a statement released by the Rockford Police Department, around 11:30 a.m. today, Ezekial Deanda entered the bank, approached a personal banker "while completely disrobed" and demanded money.
Deanda was found getting dressed in the bank's basement restroom by police after fleeing the lobby area with an unspecified amount of cash.
Deanda spit on the officers during a brief struggle before being taken into custody. He is charged with robbery, resisting a police officer and aggravated battery of a police officer.

For the dough: In a medium bowl, mix the yeast with warm water and let sit for 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, sugar and salt, and whisk. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix the plain and whole wheat flours. Make a hole in the middle and pour in the yeast mixture. Slowly hand mix the flour until all the liquid is absorbed. If too wet, add more flour, 1/4 cup at a time. Sprinkle a clean work station with flour and knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Coat a large ceramic bowl with the remaining olive oil. Place the dough in the ceramic bowl, and flip over to coat in the oil. Cover the top of the dough with plastic wrap and cover the bowl with a dish towel. Let rise until the dough has doubled in size, 2 hours.
Punch down the dough and let rise for another hour.
For the toppings: Using a mandolin, slice the potatoes and onion. Roughly chop the rosemary leaves. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Grease the pizza pan with the leaf lard. Mold the dough into the shape of the pan. Brush with some olive oil. Place the pizza on the bottom oven rack for 5 minutes, to pre-crisp the crust. Add two layers of the potatoes in a scallop style. Add the onions, sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with some olive oil. Sprinkle with the rosemary and drizzle with more olive oil.
Place on the middle oven rack and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven. Immediately remove the pizza from the pan and cut into rectangles.

Brandon Knight scored 17 points, and Kyle Singler and Tayshaun Prince had 15 apiece as the Detroit Pistons beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 89-79 on Monday night for their fifth straight home win.
Detroit is 1-10 on the road, but 5-3 at home, and the Pistons have recovered a bit after losing their first eight games of the season. They beat Phoenix by 40 last week in their previous home game, and the victory over Cleveland was not really as close as the score indicated.
Detroit led 56-39 at halftime after holding the Cavaliers to 29 percent shooting.
Cleveland was without guard Dion Waiters, who sat out with a sprained left ankle. Anderson Varejao had 17 points and 18 rebounds for the Cavs.
In Charlotte, North Carolina, LaMarcus Aldridge had 25 points and 13 rebounds, Luke Babbitt hit a pair of clutch three-pointers and Portland overcame an 18-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat Charlotte in overtime Monday night.
The Blazers trailed 97-79 with 5:17 left in regulation, but stormed back to tie the score and sent it into overtime on Babbitt's three with 22 seconds left.
Charlotte had a chance to win at the end of regulation, but Kemba Walker's drive and fall-away jumper from the baseline did not fall.
Damian Lillard scored 24 points and Nicolas Batum added 17 points for the Blazers, who finished a road trip with two straight wins.
Ben Gordon set a franchise record with eight three-pointers — all after halftime — for the Bobcats, who dropped their fourth straight game. Gordon finished with 29 points to surpass 10,000 for his NBA career.
In Oakland, California, Glen Davis and Arron Afflalo scored 24 points apiece, and Orlando outlasted Golden State for their second straight victory.
A night after an emotional win against former franchise center Dwight Howard and the Los Angeles Lakers, Orlando outscored Golden State 33-25 to pull away in the fourth quarter. J.J. Redick had 10 of his 22 points in the fourth and Nikola Vucevic finished with 14 points and 15 rebounds to help the Magic begin their five-game west coast trip 2-0.
Stephen Curry had 25 points and 11 assists and David Lee added 22 points and nine rebounds for the Warriors, who were going for their first four-game winning streak under coach Mark Jackson. Instead, they had their five-game home winning streak snapped as they head on the road for a season-long seven-game trip.
In New Orleans, Louisiana, Ryan Anderson scored 22 points, Robin Lopez added 21 and New Orleans won for only the second time in 11 games.
Lopez shot eight of 10 from the field and made all five free throws he attempted. He also scored 11 straight points during a pivotal 13-0 run in the third quarter that gave New Orleans the lead for good.
Jason Smith added 12 points and Greivis Vasquez had 11 for the Hornets, who shot 52.4 percent.
In Denver, Colorado, Corey Brewer scored 19 points, JaVale McGee had 17 points and five blocks, and Denver withstood a late rally to beat Toronto.
Andrea Bargnani scored 23 points for Toronto and Kyle Lowry had 24, including 12 in the fourth quarter when the Raptors cut a 17-point lead to one with 2:18 left.
Ty Lawson, who finished with 16 points, hit a three-pointer and Toronto missed their next three shots as Denver built a 110-104 cushion. Lowry hit another three with 14 seconds left, and after two free throws from Andre Iguodala, Amir Johnson hit a three with 7.9 seconds remaining to make it 112-110.
Kenneth Faried hit one of two free throws with 5.8 seconds left and DeMar DeRozan missed a long three at the buzzer.
Faried had 18 points and 10 rebounds. Six players scored in double figures for Denver.
In Salt Lake City, Utah, Blake Griffin scored 30 points, Jamal Crawford added 20 off the bench and Los Angeles handed Utah their first loss at home this season.
Crawford made a pair of free throws late and ex-Clipper Randy Foye countered with a three-pointer with 1.2 seconds remaining. However, Foye's desperation 3 after stealing the ensuing inbounds pass missed its mark.
Mo Williams led the Jazz against his former team with 20 points and 12 assists. Foye added 19 points and Al Jefferson had 16 points and 10 rebounds but had a layup blocked by DeAndre Jordan with 26 seconds left that would have tied the score at 101.

Most U.S. Drones Openly Broadcast Secret Video Feeds
The U.S. military has failed to secure the transmissions of over half of its fleet of Predator and Reaper drones, four years after discovering that militants were tapping its drone video feeds, Wired's DangerRoom reports.
U.S. military personnel in 2008 apprehended a Shiite militant whose laptop contained files of intercepted drone video feeds. The Pentagon pledged to retrofit the aircraft with new communications protocols and encrypted transceivers to avoid interceptions, Wired reports.
Four years later, only "30-50%" of America's Predators and Reapers are using fully encrypted transmissions, according to the report, which cites an anonymous source with knowledge of drone operations. The fleet won't see its communications secured until 2014.
The Air Force is embarking on a fleetwide update to better secure transmissions of Predator and Reaper drones, according to Wired. The service is spending $12 million on crypto-enabled Vortex transceivers so that a hardened waveform can be introduced throughout the Predator and Reaper fleet.
The Air Force also awarded Predator-maker General Atomics Aeronautical Systems a $26 million contract to retrofit drone cockpits with new enhancements.

It also recommends analytical methods for qualitative and quantitative determination of such contaminants and residues.
Within overall context of quality assurance, these guidelines intended to provide general technical guidance to Member States in assessing quality relating to safety of herbal materials and products classified as medicines, with regards to major and common contaminants and residues.
The objectives of these guidelines are to provide:
- guiding principles for assessing the quality in relation to the safety of herbal medicines, with specific reference to contaminants and residues;
- model criteria for use in identifying possible contaminants and residues;
- examples of methods and techniques; and
- examples of practical technical procedures for controlling the quality of finished herbal products.
The scope of these guidelines does not cover issues of adulteration of herbal medicines and/or counterfeit products.

ROY, Wash. — The collapse of a grain silo that left one worker dead may be unrelated to hazards the owner was cited for early this summer, according to the state agency that oversees worker safety.
The investigation into the Dec. 2 collapse will likely take several months, Elaine Fischer, spokeswoman for the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries, said.
On Dec. 4 emergency workers managed to stabilize the structure, remove thousands of pounds of corn and recover the body of Steven Green, age 44, an employee of Wilcox Farms. Green was married with three daughters and a son.
Wilcox Farms, a fourth-generation family farm that produces eggs and egg products, was ordered to pay $10,000 for safety violations found in a June 27 inspection of its silos in Roy. Violations included problems with the silo that collapsed.
"The earlier inspection was specific to atmospheric hazards and working in confined space," Fischer said. "Those hazards have all been corrected."
That inspection is completed and final, and the investigation into the collapse is just beginning.
"The circumstances now are completely different," she said. "A lot of people want to find out what happened."
The federal safety agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, is not involved because Washington's state agencies have jurisdiction.
The Washington State Department of Agriculture has jurisdiction over the grain. Agency inspectors have been on site since soon after the collapse ensuring there are no contamination issues, spokesman Hector Castro said.
WSDA has also lent assistance to the recovery effort and to the Wilcox operation, Kirk Robinson, assistant director of food safety and consumer services, said.
"We'll work with the Wilcoxes on whether to dispose of seed or put it back into feed system," he said. "The dry weather this week will likely allow the feed to be reused."
The corn was most likely brought in by rail from other regions to be processed for the layer operation, Robinson said.

Melbourne is famed for having four seasons in one day, so it's only fitting that a 14m (diameter-wise) animated scale model of the sun should be suspended in the sky, controllable with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.

Real Estate At A Glance: Summit County condominium sales
Special to the Daily
Resale condominium sales increased by nearly 46 percent over a year ago in January and prices rose by nearly 5 percent to just under $300,000. The number of condominium sales continues to close in on the 10-year average and this was the best January since 2008. Renewed sales activity at One Ski Hill Place drove the total average price up by 13 percent. A couple of million-dollar-plus sales will do that.
The inventory continues at just below 1,500 total Summit County properties for sale as supply continues to lag. Stable prices remove the urgency to sell before further declines. Many owners are choosing not to sell.
2 … number of condominiums sold in January for over $1 million
$362,300 … average sale price for all condominiums sold in January, $65,000 above the resale average

There's nothing like a surging Miami Heat to unite South Florida's politicians.
Judging from the volume and passion of their tweets, U.S. Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Miami, and U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, a Democrat who represents Broward and Palm Beach counties, are the two biggest fans, followed by U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston.
"Best way to start a Friday is w a #Heat victory!," Wasserman Schultz tweeted Friday morning. Also from Wasserman Schultz: "#Wearethechampions! @MiamiHEAT #WooHoo!" and "#Thatswhatimtalkinabout! #LetsGoHeat!"
State Sen. Chris Smith of Fort Lauderdale, the Democratic leader in the Florida Senate, tweeted passionately T, D-Fort Lauderdale, tweeted passionately Thursday night: "Sweet Baby Jesus #heat."
In another tweet, he said he was considering sponsoring a Heat stadium bill "whether they want one or not." And House Speaker Will Weatherford, who singlehandedly blocked the legislation for the government subsidies sought by the Miami Dolphins to improve its football stadium, said he might cosponsor Smith's proposal. (They were joking, folks.)
Broward County Commissioner Marty Kiar's analysis, also offered via Twitter: "James James JamesJames James James James James James."
And Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg offered, "Great respect to the San Antonio Spurs...but the MIAMI HEAT ARE YOUR NBA CHAMPIONS!!! Thank you, Lebron! #MVP #HeatRepeat" and "Sorry, #HeatHaters....It's bitter beer face for you for another offseason. #HeatRepeat."
On Tuesday night members of Congress from South Florida gathered in the real, not virtual, world to watch Game 6 at the Pour House off Capitol Hill.
Ros-Lehtinen and Wasserman Schultz were there, along with U.S. Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart, a Miami Republican who represents part of South Broward, and Frederica Wilson, a Miami Democrat who represents part of South Broward.
They were joined by Republican Ana Navarro of Coral Gables, a CNN analyst, and U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, who represents San Antonio, home of the Spurs.
Wasserman Schultz may soon be enjoying some Tex-Mex cuisine, thanks to Castro. They bet on the outcome of the NBA Finals, and with the Heat taking the series she won't have to pony up the Joe's Stone Crab dinner.
She missed part of Thursday's final game, tweeting that she was about to board a five-and-a-half hour flight with no wi-fi and no TV. After the House adjourned for the week, she flew to Seattle in relation to her role as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, landing at 10:56 p.m. Eastern.

And to Think: Senators Once Worked For Legislatures
S. 1536, the "ALERT Drivers" Act ("Avoiding Life‐Endangering and Reckless Texting by Drivers" — get it?) would reduce federal highway funds available to states if they don't pass laws prohibiting people from writing, sending, or reading text messages while driving.
The circle is complete. Senators, who were once chosen by state legislatures, now believe it is their role to tell state legislatures what to do.
Federal command over our lives, in ever more intricate detail. It's the product of exalting democracy — in this case, direct election of senators — over liberty and over the governmental structure originally established in the constitution.
Texting while driving is dangerous to your health and others'. Letting governments amass power is dangerous to your freedom, and ultimately your health (this way, for example, and this way and this way).

Dear customer,
You may have noticed an increase in this month's electric bill.
In recent months, there have been increases in the generation charge component of the electric bill. In April alone, the generation change went up by 0.93 Pesos/kWh to P6.7699/kWh from P5.8417/kWh in March.
The rise in generation charges springs from the high cost of electricity that Meralco buys from its suppliers. These suppliers consist of the National Power Corporation (NCP), Independent Power Producers (IPP) and Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM).
The major factor that caused the sharp rise in electricity was because of the increase in the price of WESM, a venue for trading electricity as a commodity in the spot market.
Meralco does not add any mark-up to the cost of electricity purchased from these electricity suppliers. The generation cost, which averages about 50-60% of your electric bill, goes directly to Meralco's power suppliers and adds nothing to Meralco's income.
If you will take a minute to examine your electric bill (found in the last column of you bill), you will note that what goes to Meralco is approximately 20-25% of your total bill. The rest go to the power suppliers for the cost of electricity, the NGCP for transmission charges, and to the Government in the form of taxes.
While Meralco has no control over the rise or fall of generation costs, we would like to help you manage your electric consumption so that you can save on your electric bill. For this purpose, we invite you to visit http://www.meralco.com.ph for energy-saving tips or our Meralco Appliance Calculator (MAC) found in the lobby of every Business Center.
We assure you of our continuing effort to find the best energy mix in order to give you the least cost in electricity charges.
Should you need clarification on any of the points mentioned above, please feel free to call 16211.
Meanwhile, the photo below pretty much sums up what we Meralco customers feel towards Mr. de Jesús' message…

Susan Elias never saw the car coming. And the driver never saw her, even though she was holding a red flag....Modifying the environment? How about stop signs, traffic lights, and expensive tickets for violators? Sorry to be old fashioned, but I don't want to pay for a lot of speed humps and islands. I want to make money. Get out there and ticket drivers. And lose that red flag program. It's a dangerous illusion of safety.
"What routinely happens, and what is really scary, is that a car will stop," Sally Lehner said at the meeting, according to a report in the neighborhood news service Madison Commons. "Someone will be really nice and wave 'go ahead.' And then another commuter will come up behind, have no idea that car is stopping because they're letting me go, and nearly hit us."...
With the population on the city's west side expanding, causing more and more drivers to look for fast routes from the downtown, [Madison Police Capt. Joe] Balles says, the traffic pressure on Monroe Street isn't likely to abate.
"It's got to go beyond red flags. It's got to go beyond enforcement," he says. "We've got to really start modifying the environment and make it more pedestrian-friendly down there."
(Personally, I have used the red flags to point at evil drivers in an uncivil effort to shame them for driving through where I'm supposed to have the right of way, but it just cranks up pointless inner anger.)

Suction press rolls
Accommodate shaft misalignment and expansion and achieve high running accuracy
In addition, bearings operate at relatively high speeds in suction press rolls. It's essential that the gap between the cylinder and the press roll remains constant to help ensure an accurate press nip and good quality paper.
For large bearings that run fast, high running accuracy is important. Vibrations from inferior bearings may lead to uneven paper thickness and increased wear on the felt. This results in increased maintenance costs.
The presence of a vacuum also affects the stability of the lubricant in the 'inner' bearing often resulting in premature bearing failure. SKF Application Engineering can assist with solutions to this common problem.

Pick Your Path: Skyrim
Pages 1 2 NEXT
Earn some badges and learn the true story of Skyrim's savior in a new Pick Your Path adventure!
Huh, at least this is more interesting than that Assassin's Creed adventure.
So I uppercutted a troll? Awesome.
Even if I did die...
Calumon: I wanted to talk to it. Not everyone wants to fight... even if he had been eating people...
This was actually pretty enjoyable! I don't know about the other character paths, but I went with the wood-elf guy. Thanks for the story!
That was pretty fun! Except for the badge spam... I think I have 5 eaten by bear badges now lol.
At least I'm not a beet farmer anymore =P
Maybe you're just really, really tasty. :)
I think i actually liked the true farmer ending the most for some reason
Ah, I'll check into the badge spam for you, you should be only getting one of those despite how many times the bears maul your face.
Cool. I actually looked into my badges, and only have 1 true badge. However, my inbox had multiple messages as I of course got mauled by bears on the road, the steps, in a cave, on the road again... lol.
My first path ended with me being a test dummy for the Dovakin's shout. Then i went back a bit and realised that i was less than 1/10 into the story!
Very good and very enjoyable and now i really need to get back to work!
This is by far the best of the pick your path games you've done on the Escapist!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very funny guys. Specially the Ninja Turtles and Pokemon stuff.
Also, TWO Arrow in the knee jokes? Ha.......ha :P
Someone should turn this into an actual mod quest, that would be funny as hell.
Very nice! This got me in stiches:
Sloths FTW
Wow! There was just as many choices there than there is playing actual Skyrim! I'm impressed and enjoyed it a lot!
Was enjoying myself until this page wouldn't load correctly: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/features/9441-Pick-Your-Path-Skyrim.12 and I was forced into the uppercut option.
Same for me, was only choosing the 'talk it down option' because I thought it would lead to an amusing death.... turns out the other option does that.
Sorry you guys had trouble with that. We'll look into it. If you'd like to continue, here's the link to the next section from there: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/features/9441-Pick-Your-Path-Skyrim.15

The Turtleborn | 2 Mar 2012 15:15
i have seen multiple pages be blank and just have that text like that so i am done with pick your path thing
I got this a few times, seemingly at the end of the major arcs (the horn bit, getting the necklace, etc). Had to switch over to IE (from Firefox) for those pages.
Enjoyed it, but hit a few snags with broken pages as well.
Loved this story immensely xD
Woke up, picked some beets, got eaten by a zombie.
That was the most epic thing ever. Of all time.
Favorite moment: Putting the head band on and finally getting the joke.
Good to know what REALLY happened in Skyrim!
Now I just have to go look through my 17 new badges...
Well have done this twice now and it seems I am destined to be the proud dad of the queen of my sloth tribe or wind up another grey beard.
Hey at least I didn't get eaten by zombies. I suppose they have trouble climbing, be it a tree or mountain.
After two failends, I'd prefer not to waste much more time with this.
Interesting, though.
Awesome job guys, laughed my ass off, tried each ending. LOVELY.
This was good times. Thank you so much!
That was a lot of fun. Not sure what, if any, puns might have been hidden in Glur Merr Berr and Meep Merp Muuu though.
It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I farmed beats...
...and apologized to no one.
So Discworld's A'Tuin is actually Alduin? Who'da thunk it?
Loved it. Genuinely funny and imaginative. Great job with the Avatar reference, I was impressed by how many references you managed to get in there without being exceedingly obvious. Haven't seen everything yet, but I plan to.
Farmer path is best path.
1000th post!
I loved the Tolkien reference in the library :D, and the one about randomly exploring caves and poor people being able to get fabulously rich by stealing from barrels.

Flexibility is increasingly important in today's workplace. Flexible work options, such as working virtually, telecommuting, or creating a flexible schedule, can often be a deciding factor in taking a new job or staying in a current position.
In fact, according to a survey commissioned by Mom Corps, a national flexible staffing firm, 51 percent of working adults (ages 18 to 44) plan to look for a new job within the next three years with an employer that offers flexible work options.
Flexible work options are so important to some that they're willing to give up a percentage of their salary to have this flexibility. According to the survey, working men are twice as likely as working women to say they would be willing to give up give up more than 10 percent of their salary to receive more flexibility at work. Additionally, professionals aged 18 to 34 are up to three times more likely to give up more than 10 percent of their salary, despite high unemployment for young workers.
"The fact that employees of all ages are willing to give up any percentage of their salary in exchange for more flexibility over their work schedule is significant, especially given the current economic climate and record unemployment rates," said Allison O'Kelly, founder and CEO of Mom Corps. "The way a majority of Corporate America works no longer aligns with the way U.S. families conduct their daily lives. Participating in some form of flexible work option allows employees to regain a modicum of work/life balance, and successful companies know that this also can yield a significant return on investment for them."
It's no longer just Gen Y looking for flexible work options, either. Twenty-two percent of working adults 45 and older said they plan to look for a new job with an employer that offers flexible work options within the next three years.
Companies not offering these alternative work options risk losing top talent to other organizations who can match a candidate's lifestyle preference.
Let's face it: the "traditional" 9-to-5 might not be around much longer — and some have already predicted its death. Organizations need to start implementing flexible work options for current and future employees in order to attract the best candidate for their opening.
"Employees are realizing they have a voice in asking for work options, and a highly volatile economic environment isn't deterring this attitude," said O'Kelly. "The desire for workplace flexibility is strong today and will only gain popularity as the job market begins to stabilize. Employees have a responsibility to their future career growth to learn and understand their opportunities."
Does your organization offer flexible work options?

Denver's Verne Harris among officials selected for Final Four
Denver resident Verne Harris is among 10 game officials selected to work the Final Four, the NCAA announced Monday.
Harris has the most Final Four experience among the group. He will officiate his seventh Final Four.
The Final Four begins with two semifinal games Saturday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the home stadium for the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. Saturday's winners advance to the national championship game Monday night.
"The 10 men selected to officiate in this year's Final Four have been evaluated after every game in the tournament," said John Adams, the national coordinator of officiating. "All of them graded out as excellent in play-calling accuracy, communicating with coaches and players, and officiating the games according to the rules as written."

On the occasion of the International Women's Day, UN Video is pleased to send you a video message from the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres. The video features the Secretary-General; Ms Amina J. Mohammed, the Deputy Secretary-General; Ms Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, the Executive Director of UN Women; Ms María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés, the President of the General Assembly; and Ms Jayathma Wickramanayake, the Secretary-General's Youth Envoy.

An event organized by UN Women, the Global Network for Women Peacebuilders, UNFPA, Peacebuilding Support Office and the Permanent Missions of Bangladesh and Finland, brought together young women from four countries to share experiences and speak about their peacebuilding work.
Take five: "A successful peace process simply demands the active and meaningful participation of women at all levels"
UN Women spoke with Jean Arnault, the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia, about gender parity within the Mission and its priorities over the next year. The Verification Mission in Colombia has made impressive strides towards gender parity; 58 per cent of its professional level field staff are women and 65 per cent of field office teams are led by women.
Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Director of UN Women, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka presented the Secretary-General's report on women, peace and security to the UN Security Council on 25 October, in New York.
Despite greater participation of women in building and sustaining peace and the recognition from all quarters of the value they bring, the realities on the ground show that much more remains to be done, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres told Security Council members on Thursday.
Bajana Ceveli is the Executive Director of the Association for Women's Security and Peace (AWSP) in Albania. Over the past three years, the Association, with the support of UN Women's Fund for Gender Equality, helped draft a National Action Plan (NAP) on UN Security Council resolution (UNSCR) 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, which was adopted in September 2018. Ms. Ceveli spoke to UN Women about her personal motivation and why the National Action Plan is important for women.
In the words of Faidah Suleiman: "Through my job I'm making changes in my family and in the society"
Faidah Suleiman is the Superintendent of Police, Gender and Children Desk in Tanzania. With 20 years of police experience, she has been part of the Gender Desk since it was established in 2009. In 2014, UN Women, with support from the Governments of Norway and Sweden, partnered with the Gender and Children Desks to improve the quality of services provided. Today, there are 417 Gender and Children Desks nation-wide, which received more than 31,000 reported cases of violence against women and girls in 2017.
A group of United Nations agencies has issued a joint statement calling for a ban on tests meant to assess the virginity of a girl or a woman, which is a common practice in at least 20 countries. The statement, which was issued during the World Congress of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) in Rio de Janeiro, stresses that such tests are both unscientific, and a violation of human rights.
Marking International Day of Rural Women, on Monday, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called on countries to ensure that women and girls living in rural areas can enioy their human rights as this would enable making "progress for all".
At thirty, Olga Macz is a teacher and entrepreneur, and a force to be reckoned with. She leads a women's group in Campur, a small municipality in the mostly rural Alta Vara Paz department of Guatemala, which makes and sells organic shampoo. For many of the women, this is the first time that they are making their own money and making decisions.

This is a guest post from Adam Jusko, founder of IndexCreditCards.com, an information and comparison site for credit cards that maintains a list of over 1200 cards. You can follow Adam on Twitter for quick credit tips and opinions. I've previously featured IndexCreditCards as "The Only Credit Card Guide You'll Ever Need" as a source for credit card offers
Among recently-passed credit card regulations is a command that issuers stop giving credit cards to adults under age 21 unless these young people can show proof of income or have a co-signer who will vouch for them financially (usually a parent). The intent is to stop credit card companies from heavily marketing credit cards to college students — young people away from home for the first time who have been known to run up big debts that haunt them later.
Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with this regulation, it will no doubt mean more young people entering their early to mid-20s with no credit history. Because you need a credit history if you ever plan on financing a car or a home at a reasonable interest rate, this is an important issue. So, what should they — and anyone else with no credit history — do?
Here's the simple plan I advocate: Get a secured credit card.
What is a secured credit card?
A secured credit card works like a standard credit card, but with a slight catch — you have to deposit money into an account as collateral before you use the card. The amount you deposit becomes equal to the size of your credit line. For example, if you deposit $500 into your account, you can charge up to $500 with the card. You then pay your balance each month, exactly like you would with a regular credit card.
A secured credit card is not the same as a debit card. You are responsible for paying your monthly charges with money you have on hand; your purchases do not get deducted from your deposited balance as they would with a debit card. The deposited money serves only as protection for the bank in case you don't pay.
When you pay your card balance each month, the bank reports your payments to the credit bureaus, who begin to keep track of your credit usage. You've established a credit history! Each month that you make on-time payments, your credit history lengthens and improves, moving you closer to the high credit score that will get you good rates on future financed purchases like a car or house. (If you fail to pay or pay late, you're still establishing a credit history — but a bad one.)
Beware of high fees
Secured credit cards do charge annual fees, but if you go with a major bank, they should be minimal. Among the secured credit cards I recommend are:
- Citi Secured MasterCard ($29 annual fee)
- US Bank Secured Visa ($35 annual fee)
Both of these banks will give you the opportunity to upgrade from the secured card to an unsecured card with no annual fee in the future. (US Bank offers this after 12 months, Citi after 18 months.)
On the flip side, there are many secured credit cards and unsecured credit cards out there that charge hundreds of dollars in fees while promising to help build credit. Stay away from them! The companies offering these cards are either preying on the ignorance of newbies or they are selling a product to people who've ruined their credit and are desperate to get it re-established. These cards are not for people with no prior credit history.
The easiest way to establish credit
Establishing credit is important to your financial future, and the easiest way to do so is via a credit card. You may not like credit cards, but consider this: Credit cards are the only financial tools that allow you to establish credit without forcing you to pay monthly interest. Understand the details of your credit card application, and as long as you pay your balance in full each month, you can establish credit for free (or almost free in the case of secured cards). If you choose to use credit responsibly, establishing a credit history can actually be very easy.

This page looks at information from A DWGM perspective.
For markets other than the WA gas retail market, parties seeking to participate must first register in a registrable capacity as prescribed in the National Gas Rules (NGR).
AEMO recommends that new participants learn more about the market they will be participating in, and obtain expert advice prior to their participation.
The Gas Market Registration document (643 KB, pdf) provides information about the roles or capacities available for registration in each market.
Registered participants in the Declared Wholesale Gas Market, Gas Retail Markets and Bulletin Board:
Industry training
AEMO also offers training courses to staff of registered participants and other eligible organisations. All information about training courses can be found here.
How to deregister
A registered participant in an AEMO-operated market can apply to be deregistered from any registrable capacity. This process is referred to as "revocation".
Existing participants seeking to deregister must apply to AEMO for revocation of registration in the gas markets. The application should be on a formal letterhead, signed by a duly authorised company officer, and include:
- The participant's full name and ABN.
- Relevant gas Company ID(s) (if applicable).
- Markets and capacity(ies)from which the participant wishes to deregister.
- The business reason(s) why the participant considers it is (or will be) no longer required to be registered in the relevant categories under the National Gas Rules.

By keyword
From our homepage - www.jobs.ac.uk - there are several options for searching for roles. Searching by keyword will return any adverts containing that word in the text, but there is also the option to search 'job title only' to return more specific results.
Once a keyword search has returned results there is the option to filter further using the menu on the left-hand side of the page, including options to filter by salary range, academic discipline, sub discipline, job type, location and employer sector. These filters will only apply to the results that the initial keyword search returned.
Once you have a list of jobs that meet your criteria, you can use the menu bar at the top of the list to order your selection by salary, the date the advert was placed on our site or by the closing date so you don't miss roles that may be closing soon.
Boolean search
It's possible to use double-quotes around a series of keywords to perform a search for an exact phrase e.g. "Lecturer in Crime" will look for any jobs with that exact phrase included within the job details.
It's possible to search on the site using Boolean operators - AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-"(Note: Boolean operators must be capitalised).
As an example you could search for term - "UCL" AND "Urban Politics and Planning" to find all adverts on the site that include "UCL" and the phrase "Urban Politics and Planning".
The search - "UCL" OR "Urban Politics and Planning" would return all those adverts that have either of the terms "UCL" or "Urban Politics and Planning".
The "+" or required operator requires that the term after the "+" symbol exist somewhere in the advert e.g. to search for documents that must contain "UCL" and may contain "lecturer" use the search - +UCL lecturer.
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term after NOT e.g. to search for adverts that contain "Food" but not "Health" you could use the search - "Food" NOT "Health"
The "-" or prohibit operator excludes documents that contain the term after the "-" symbol. This works in the same way as the NOT operator e.g. to search for adverts that contain "Food" but not "Health" you could use the search - "Food" -"Health"
The search supports using parentheses to group clauses to form sub queries. This can be very useful if you want to control the boolean logic for a query e.g. if you want to find all adverts that include "food" or "health" but always include "safety" you could search for - (food OR health) AND safety.
By location
From our homepage, select one of the main options e.g. an academic discipline, a professional/ managerial / support area or studentship section.
There will be several further filter options available, one of which is location. From here you can select to return roles available in specific locations worldwide. For example, if you select 'Agriculture, Food and Veterinary' academic discipline, then filter by 'Scotland' the search results will contain all academic roles in Agriculture available in Scotland on our site. For more precise information about how jobs.ac.uk divides the English counties into regions please see our map
By job type
All adverts on our site are categorised and indexed under a specific job type, either academic and research, professional or managerial, clerical, technical, or craft and manual.
Each category has further sub filters to enable you to conduct a specific search for roles available, using the 'search jobs' options box and then the 'change search' menu bar. For example, to search for a clerical role in a university in the Midlands with a salary of £15,000 per annum, you would need to select from the homepage:
1. 'Search all' in Professional / Managerial / Support Services
2. Select discipline(s) you are interested in
3. Type or role 'Clerical'
4. Salary from '£14000' to '£16,000'
5. Location 'Midlands of England'
6. Employer type 'UK and Irish HE institutions'
This will return all roles on our site that are currently listed under clerical, within your desired salary range and at universities located in the Midlands
By employer
If you have a specific employer in mind, you can either search for the employer from the homepage using the keyword search, or at the foot of the homepage, select 'Site map' then 'Browse by Employer'.
This will return employers currently advertising roles on our site in alphabetical order.
By academic discipline
All of our adverts are checked and categorised by one of our highly trained staff before they are live on our site. Our site is designed to utilise the HESA subject codes that UK universities follow, and our inputters are trained to use these codes so that adverts under academic sub-disciplines are relevant to the main categories, and jobseekers searching for their research or academic specialism will always have relevant results returned.
No, we currently don't have an online save job facility, but you can email any advertised job to yourself from anywhere and pick it up later via your own email client without the need to log into our site, and of course you can send them to friends, family or colleagues that you think may be interested!
We recommend searching the site regularly for active jobseekers, but we also offer a free Jobs by Email service, which delivers the latest jobs posted in your chosen areas and disciplines directly to your inbox either daily or weekly, whichever your preference. Each job listed in the email links directly to the advert on our site.
By following the search pattern explained in the above sections, you should get the jobs listed that you want, however, if your search needs to be a little more precise, or needs tweaking, the best way to make sure that you are seeing all relevant posts is to conduct a keyword search until you find a job that meets your criteria, then scroll to the bottom of the advert. At the foot of each advert you will find the categories the advert has been indexed under, for example salary, location, type / role and subject area. Replicate the areas in your search and the results should reflect the roles you want.
Yes, each search you conduct will allow you to filter for salary. We also have a 'Salary not specified' option, as some of our adverts don't specify salary when placing. You can opt to include these adverts with your search or exclude them depending on personal preference.
Once you have found a job that you want to apply for, there will be an 'Apply Now' button at the foot of the advert. This should lead you to an application form on the employers own website, or sometimes it includes an email address, if the role states that you need to send your CV. Each advert has its own application criteria, and these need to be followed as per the instructions. jobs.ac.uk advertise roles, but all applications and recruitment is done via the employer.

Which reminds me of something that I have marveled about since I got to this part of the country.
Now, everywhere I have ever worked, it was common to see people coming in concerned about their high blood pressure. Typically, it's anxious old people who obsessively check their blood pressure and write every reading down in a little spiral notebook, but sometimes it's just someone who happened to check it at the drugstore, or with their friend's blood pressure cuff, or what have you. There's a minimalist work-up I do, maybe I treat them or maybe their blood pressure just regresses to the mean, and with a canned reassurance speech, off they go.
It's easy work but annoying because it really takes a while to convince someone that short-term fluctuations in the pressure are not going to cause them to stroke out and die immediately.
What astonishes me is what is apparently a local custom. The chief complaint is, of course, "High Blood Pressure." When I ask them how they came to be in the ER, the response is something along the lines of "Well, I was feeling kind of [insert vague constitutional symptom], so I went down to the fire station to get my blood pressure checked, and they sent/brought me in because it was so high."
Seriously? You just walked into the fire station and asked them to check your blood pressure?
Apparently, in this neck of the woods, that's the most common thing to do. Once, when I had occasion to visit a local fire station, I noticed a little triage bay inside the front door, complete with blood pressure equipment there. They said that "dozens" of people come by for checks every day, and it's just a community service that they've provided here for time out of mind.
In none of the other places I have worked (or lived) have I ever seen this custom. Growing up, it would never have occurred to us for even a second to "drop in" at the fire house to get checked out. Not that I'm complaining -- it's a nice service.
But I still think it's weird.

Denver restaurants hold March 23 fundraiser for boy battling cancer
For patrons of the Avenue Grill, longtime manager Shelly McCandless is a familiar face. What not all of them know is that since October 2012, she has been dealing with a parent's worst nightmare: Cash, her 7-year-old son, is battling cancer.
Along with the fear and the tough chemotherapy regimen, bills have piled up.
But mom and son have friends in the hospitality business, and on March 23 some big-hearted folks are holding the Lucky 7 Gala at Sports Authority Field at Mile High to raise money to defray medical expenses.
Food will be provided by the Avenue Grill, Central Bistro and Bar, TAG and Jonesy's. Twin bartenders Randy and Ryan Layman will sling drinks provided by local distillers, and the live music will be courtesy of Johnny Barber and the Rhythm Razors. The event will run 5 p.m.-9 p.m., and there will be silent and live auctions, plus a costume contest. (Think Mardi Gras vibe.)
A little more about Cash: He's a spunky kid who loves Jimmy Fallon, knock-knock jokes and root beer milk.
Tickets can be purchased at lucky7gala.org.

Breast augmentation or augmentation mammoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves placing implants (sacks filled with silicone gel or saline) behind each breast to change the overall look, size and shape of a woman's breast for various reasons, including:
- Restructuring the breasts following a mastectomy (removal of breasts due to cancer or other diseases)
- Wanting bigger breasts due to aging or weight loss
- Believing their breasts are too small
- Correcting the reduction in breast volume after a pregnancy
- Balancing differences in breast size
As part of Cedars-Sinai Medical Group, a trusted name in healthcare, the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Program offers a full range of surgical procedures for breast augmentation. Surgeons use leading-edge technology and world-class surgical techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes for breast augmentation candidates.
Surgical Procedure
Breast augmentation surgery is reasonably straightforward. The overall placement and positioning of the implants depend on the patient's needs and the surgeon's technique. Incisions can be made under the breast fold, outer edge of the areola, armpit or in the umbilical area. Once the incision is made, surgeons will lift the breast tissue and skin to create a pocket under the chest muscle or directly behind the breast tissue. Implants are carefully centered beneath the nipple to give the breast its new shape. Surgeons make every effort to keep the resulting scars from the incisions as discreet as possible.
After Surgery
There are several complications and risks associated with breast augmentation surgery, including:
- Discomfort, tenderness and swelling
- Infection
- Excessive bleeding
- Adverse reaction to anesthesia
- Capsular contracture (scar tissue around the implant hardens and squeezes the implant)
- Rupture
- Nipple sensitivity
- Indentations on the breast
- Unsatisfactory results, which could lead to a second procedure
- Fatigue, fever or breast pain
