PCSTATS History - Behind the Pixels
In the spring of 1999, the PCSTATS that you know
today began under a completely different name. It was the height
of the dot.com boom, and our original name had just been registered
with Network Solutions. The website was going through its BETA trials, and the
very first article (bout a totally self contained liquid cooling PC)
had just been published. It was a watercooled 'Celly' 300A @
468MHz, right when overclocking really began in earnest. Anyhow, executives at
another company came upon our fledgling website when they misspelled their companies' address,
adding an extra "s" right before the ".com". Domain names were a
bigger commodity in those days. That single "s" quickly became a point
of contention, and after much negotiation an agreement was reached and
ownership of the domain transferred to them.
Dozens of hardware-this.com
and overclocking-that. com websites
were popping up each day back then, but such niche enthusiast names were thought
to be untenable in the long term. Today, roughly 75% of those websites no
longer exist.
It was decided that the companies' next name would contain "PC" - a
widely accepted tech terminology then, and now. It was then just a matter
of search and discovery... PChardware, PCzone, PCworld... and so on and so
forth. "PC" and "Statistics" came together nicely, and the hybrid
"PCSTATS" signified an approach to objective analysis of computer gear
based on how it actually performs. Thus, a short and sweet seven letter
website name was born!
Since 1999 the PCSTATS logo has gone
through a few changes, with our most recent brand identity
coming into effect in early 2003. Even the way in which
PCSTATS is written has evolved; at first it was "PC Stats,"
and then shortly thereafter "PCstats" or "PCStats." Today, the
accepted way to write our name is "PCSTATS", with all capital letters
and no spaces.
PCSTATS Product Awards of Merit
PCSTATS has three awards of distinction that it
hands out to products with varying degrees of merit. These awards are
rarely handed out, as it is our opinion that an 'Editor's Choice Award'
should be more than just a rubber stamp included with every single
review. When awarded, the icons will be located on the last page of the
review to signify the outstanding attributes of the product under evaluation.
The 'Editor's Choice Award' is PCSTATS highest mark, and it is
only ever given to products that the editorial staff would actually buy
themselves. If you see this award, you're looking at some of the best
hardware in its class. Performance and features are given preference in
this situation, but price must also be reasonable.
The 'Recommend Product Award' applies to good all around
computer hardware. It doesn't have to be the best out there, just as long
as it is priced competitively, offers good bang for that buck, and has a
good solid feature set. If the editorial staff at PCSTATS would recommend
the product in question to someone we know, then it gets this award.
The 'Best Buy Award' is given to hardware which is
extremely affordable, but also has pretty good performance or features.
Budget hardware generally lacks a lot of extra's, but that doesn't mean it
doesn't have a lot of value. It's PCSTATS way of indicating good cheap
computer gear is a great buy.
What does it mean if a product doesn't get an
award? Nothing. Read the review carefully and you'll soon understand how
well or how poorly that product performs. Just because it doesn't get an
award doesn't necessary mean you shouldn't consider it. PCSTATS holds
back on its awards as much as possible, so they count - after all,
there's not much point in handing out 10 awards to ten identically fast
motherboards now is there?
Back End Infrastructure
PCSTATS is a dynamically generated website with
hundreds of thousands of individual pages of database driven content.
The publication back end of PCSTATS relies on the
Rydium|Ware Spark Content Management System (CMS). Spark is a proprietory
CMS engine, and has been in development on a continuing basis
over the years to suit the changing demands of mixed text/image heavy
content, emerging advertising standards, and advancing search engine
indexing requirements.
The Spark CMS engine is coded in the ColdFusion
programming language.
ColdFusion is an application server and
software based development framework used for the production of dynamic
web sites. It was originally developed by Allaire, which was bought out by
Macromedia, which then merged with Adobe.
The PCSTATS back end hardware component is composed of multiple
ColdFusion application web servers which communicate with a dedicated
database. Network infrastructure is configured to support this
architecture, and feeds out to the Internet via a 1000Mbps pipe.
PCSTATS hosts its servers with Elite Internet Communications Inc. (www.eicomm.net).
EICOMM has proved itself a reliable hosting facility, and its services
come recommended by this website.
PCSTATS is powered by multiple 1U Rackable Systems C1000 webservers and a 3U Dell
Poweredge 2850 database server. All servers are powered by the Intel Xeon processor. Memory
modules installed in these servers include parts by the following vendors:
Micron/Crucial, Kingston Technology and Samsung. Data
storage requirements on SCSI, SATA and IDE standards are met by hard
drives from vendors Seagate and Western Digital.

A vehicle chase that reached speeds of 125 mph ended Wednesday in Sutter County when a Fresno man crashed a car stolen from a Gridley dealership into a drainage ditch, authorities said.
Alfredo A. Bueno, 37, tried to run from the red 2012 Ford Mustang, but was stopped by a Sutter County farmer with a shotgun who'd witnessed the chase and ordered Bueno to get on the ground.
"I don't know what makes a person think they can steal a bright red Mustang in the middle of the day and get away with it," said Sgt. Glen Mercer of the Sutter County Sheriff's Department.
The homeowner, who declined to be named, briefly detained Bueno outside his home in the 3600 block of East Butte Road until authorities arrived. The vehicle was stolen around 10:30 a.m. from the Gridley Country Ford dealership, authorities said.
Bueno and an unidentified woman, described as Bueno's girlfriend, took the Mustang for a test drive with a salesman beforehand, according to dealership owner Curt Engen.
"When they returned, (Bueno) handed back a duplicate Mustang key and kept the real key," Engen said.
The dealership made a copy of a driver's license, but it was not clear if that identification was real. When he was arrested, Bueno told deputies his name was "Omar Steven Abdullah" and investigators found an ID card with that name in his jacket. Deputies also recovered a large roll of cash from the same black jacket.
After passing the bogus key, Bueno said he had to retrieve something from his girlfriend's vehicle outside and took off in the red Mustang, Engen said.
Engen later learned the woman's car, a silver Ford Mustang, was reported stolen from a dealership in Fresno.
"This is highly unusual in Gridley, but apparently it's the M.O. in the bigger cities," Engen said.
Deputy Robby Wideman spotted both cars around 10:50 a.m. heading south on Highway 99. The deputy followed the cars off the highway before the pursuit started in the vicinity of Greenwood Way and Coats Drive in north Yuba City.
The two vehicles split up down different roads before Wideman's backup arrived. Wideman pursued the red Mustang.
A 10-minute chase ensued down various roads including Stabler Lane, Onstott-Frontage Road, Nuestro Road, North Township Road and Tierra Buena Road before the driver crashed into the drainage ditch on East Butte Road, authorities said.
Wideman said the driver reached speeds of about 125 mph and pulled away a few times. Wideman said he decided not to try to keep up with the car for public safety reasons.
The Mustang sustained heavy damage in the crash. Engen said the listed price on the used car was $21,988.
Bueno was booked into the Sutter County Jail in Yuba City on suspicion of evading police and providing false identification.
Capt. Lewis McElfresh said deputies would pursue additional charges Thursday. The sheriff's captain said the stolen vehicle case would be handled by the Gridley-Biggs Police Department.
The female driver of the silver Mustang remains at large. A physical description was not available.

It used several pairs of jeans, I guess, because the scraps are in different colors.
Denim is thick and reliable material, so it should be quite durable. Play around for more designs!
No matter why you need more outdoor furniture (for summer outdoors or renting), this is a great money-saving idea!

Hockey Tournament Bracket
POTSDAM, N.Y. – Senior Randi Griffin tallied her first career hat trick in her final regular-season game as the Harvard women's ice hockey team (18-6-5, 13-6-3) tied No. 6 Clarkson (20-9-5, 14-5-3), 3-3, to clinch third place in the final league standings. As a result, the Crimson will have home ice in the first round of the ECAC Hockey Tournament and will host Princeton, the No. 6 seed.
Griffin's hat trick was a natural hat trick, as all three of her goals came in succession in the second period and gave the Crimson a 3-2 lead to start the final stanza. Clarkson's Dominique Thibault evened the score at 3-3 with a goal at the 13:35 mark of the third period, off feeds from Britney Selina and Genevieve Lavoie, and the score stood through the five-minute overtime, despite two Harvard penalties.
Clarkson got on the board 12:49 into the opening period as a Harvard penalty proved costly. Melissa Waldie converted feeds from Juana Baribeau and Selina to give the hosts a 1-0 lead after one period of play.
The Golden Knights extended their lead to 2-0 just over five minutes into the second period as Gabrielle Kosziwka potted an even strength goal off assists from Kali Gillanders and Lavoie. Griffin got Harvard in the game less than a minute later with her first goal of the game, a power-play effort, at the 6:10 mark. Griffin knotted the score at 2-2 two minutes later as seniors Cori Bassett and Anna McDonald got credit for the assists. Bassett and Griffin then combined for Harvard's third goal at 16:17 to give the guests a 3-2 lead heading into the second break.
Harvard will now advance to the postseason and will host No. 6 seed Princeton in the first round of the ECAC Hockey quarterfinals. Game 1 is slated for Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. at Bright Hockey Center.

We know what you're thinking: we've got a tough job sometimes. Today it's testing out an iPhone case that's also a bottle opener, just for you dear reader.
If, like us, you're one of those people that is always having to open your suds on a radiator, or use that trick with another bottle, then this is probably going to be the iPhone case for you. Why? Because it features a stainless steel bottle opener on the back.
In what has to be a party animal's dream accessory for the iPhone, the Be A HeadCase.com Bottle Opener Phone Case will work with the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and the newer iPhone 4.
But the case - that's been specially designed to not exert pressure on your phone inside - also comes with a free app that when you open a bottle or can, plays your favourite song or sound and displays a picture.
The company behind the case is even talking about adding a feature that will ping Facebook to show that you've opened another beer, they told Pocket-lint.
How does it all work? By using the device's in-built gryoscope to work out that you've opened a bottle.
The case is available in the US for around $19.99, while it is on sale in the UK via our friends at Firebox.

(Phoenix, Ariz. - Oct. 20, 2010) Attorney General Terry Goddard today announced that he has approved new rules drafted by the Arizona Corporation Commission that will require utilities to conduct periodic planning of their fuel resource mix and report to the Commission on how they will safely and reliably meet the resource needs of the state.
The rules will require utilities to quantify and consider environmental costs associated with using various fuel resources. Because the environmental cost of using fossil fuels has not previously been factored in, the rules are expected to promote the use of cleaner renewable resources throughout the state, including solar and wind. The new rules take effect immediately.
Goddard has responsibility for making sure that rules adopted by the Commission comport with Arizona law, including the Commission's rate-making authority under Article XV, Section 3 of the Constitution.
The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) rules provide for an open, comprehensive resource planning process, and require that all types of future power plant resources be fairly considered. The rules allow renewable energy to be considered on a more level playing field with fossil fuels. Arizona currently gets about 49 percent of its electricity from coal, 29 percent from natural gas, 17 percent from nuclear power and 5 percent from hydropower.
Less than one-tenth of 1 percent of Arizona's electricity currently comes from solar power, but as Goddard noted, that is changing quickly.
"These rules will help Arizona bring more solar energy jobs to our sunny state," he said. "Arizona currently sends $1.5 billion per year to other states to buy natural gas for our power plants. These new rules should help jumpstart our in-state solar energy industry."
Goddard praised the Corporation Commissioners for their unanimous vote to approve the IRP Rules.
"These rules were developed and supported by a broad political spectrum, including both the Commission's "Solar Team" (Democrat Commissioners Paul Newman and Sandra Kennedy) as well as its Republicans (Chairwoman Kristin Mayes and Commissioners Gary Pierce and Bob Stump). I commend them all for their forward-thinking work for Arizona."

Ken Rosenthal, Are you Nuts?
In the past, I have made it a personal point to try and stay neutral and not get too upset over the wishy-washy personal opinions and print bravado hoisted to the heavens like gospel by the media mongrels who act as our "internal" eyes into the soul of baseball. I have begun to feel very strongly that these mongrels seem to forget sometimes that their social network followers their words and thoughts as written epiphanies of solemn truth than as muses of personal opinion or outlandish tongue-in-cheek comments .
And these same followers may see these daily postings from the media centerpieces mesh into their own personal opinions because the mongrels have been anointed by so many as the guardians of baseball. And being considered a sentry to sensibility can be a pretty important and lofty job description with a nest of surreal complications and phonetic pitfalls all over the place. I can tell you it is not a position I would ever interview to include on my resume'.
But a recent post by a Fox Sports guru has gotten a bit underneath my skin, and if I do not itch/comment now, it will surely fester into something severe and intense. My symbolic camel finally received it's broken vertabrate courtesy of the muses of Ken Rosenthal during his December 22nd post. And sure, I maybe taking this a little too to the extreme with his literal post comments, but I truly feel like this is the kind of out of reality postings that can not be written at this juncture in the off season and have a realistic ounce of credibility beyond personal speculation.
I mean, not even one of the MLBlogs.com posters following the New York Yankee or Boston Red Sox would feel superiorly autonomous enough this early in the off season to proclaim in a posting the a headline like "The Rest of the A L East should just give up now". I would have more respect and affirmation for such a headline if it was September 2010, or at least at a point centered somewhere within the 2010 season, not 3 days before Christmas with not a single baseball game played yet in 2010 season.
Sure I would expect bravado and numerous chest thumping episodes from their recent signing from both teams, but this headline illustrates that the trio of the Baltimore Orioles, Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays should just take their gloves and bats and go home now and not even show up in April 2010. I surely hope it was a tongue-in-cheek comment because I can assure you all three teams are gunning for you right now Mr. Rosenthal.
How could you post a headline like that Rosenthal. I had more respect for you in the 2008 playoffs when you honestly remembered where the Rays played, unlike the guys in the Press Box who thought it was 20 miles to the east. So what if the 2009 World Series Champion Yankees will counter with a rotation of CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, Andy Pettite and Javier Vasquez against the Rays, Jays and O's. Let's take a little gander at all three Yankee pitcher's records against all three teams,with the exception of Vasquez since he was in the National League last season.
The Pinstripe pitcher's went a combined 17-7 against the trio in 2009, and the most effective pitcher was newly acquired Burnett who went 4-0 against the Rays and posted an overall 7-2 record against the trio. Sabathia had a bag of mixed results, going 0-2 in 4 starts against the Rays, but went 4-1 against the Orioles. Take away Burnett's 7 victories and you get the Yankees starters winning only 1 out of every 3 against the trio. The trio of pitchers actually went to the mound 32 times against all three squads in 2009.
So let's now turn our attentions to the Boston brood's 4 pitchers consisting of Josh Beckett,Jon Lester,Clay Buchholz and newcomer John Lackey and see if an identical pattern emerges in games against the trio. The 2010 Red Sox staff went a combined 17-4 against the three teams. In the 2009 series,Lester actually came out on top with a 9-2 record during 12 starts against the trio. Lester only lost to the Rays among the three teams isolated in this scenario. But the foursome did make a total of 36 starts against all three teams in 2009.
With a combined record by Boston and New York of 34-11 in 68 starts against Baltimore, Toronto and Tampa Bay, you can see that all three had some levels of success against the teams mentioned by Rosenthal. Those do not look like superior, dominanting numbers, but you also got to remember that each teams get to know each other pretty indepth personally after playing 17 games against each other during the season.
I hate to have to remind Mr. Rosenthal that he did pick one of that mentioned trio to win it all in 2009, and is now throwing them under the bus. Yes, Mr. Rosenthal, you did pick my own Rays to win it all in 2009, and we vanquished our own playoff aspirations with abysmal September campaign especially in divisional seriesagainst New York and Boston. But the reality of this division is that the rich will get richer especially in signed talent, and the trio who lurk in the small market concept will just have to squeeze every ounce of potential and talent from their rosters to match-up nightly.
And that is a real pity. All three of listed trio have begun to stockpile talented players who will not cost them millions of dollars. None of the three can go out and be super aggressive and affectively offer multi-years and millions to possible Fee Agents, but can get some great established players through trades (Soriano/Drabek/Atkins) and adequately patch up their teams holes before the 2010 season begins.
And I do not think for one moment that the Red Sox did not protect themselves when they included a provision in the contract to pitcher John Lackey because of his injury history. There is supposibly a "injury" provision in that contract where if Lackey suffers an injury, and misses considerable time during his contract, he will play for the MLB league minimum in 2015. Injuries are a part of baseball, and for Mr. Rosenthal to strut his feathers like a peacock at this point of the off season is totally absurd to me.
Let's play at least 100 games before we start to parade words like "dynamo" or "dynasty" in general blog posts. It is not like you will not see people post and fantasize abo
ut a Yankee repeat again in 2010. For the sake of argument, Boston has been more consistent in the last 5 playoff seasons, but has hoisted the World Series trophy as many times as New York. In the last three seasons, three different teams have hoisted the American League Championship trophy, and all three came from this American League East division.
You can say that this division has an air of dominance, but you can not say any of the five teams in this division are every out of it even before we play one single game. Remember the last few seasons when the bottom guys were established securely on top of the division while Tampa Bay, Boston and New York tried to right their ships and sailed towards the top of the standings. In this division it is never over until it is over…….point blank.
So Mr. Rosenthal, I can be secure in the proposterious notion that I can say with the upmost confidence that there will be a boatload of surprises in the 2010 season, and that I want to be the one to serve you a nicely grilled breast of blackened crow with a nice port wine reduction when your boast goes south in 2010. Oh, and I would recommend a fine Robert Mondavi Carneros 2007 to wash all that crow humbly down.

Well Ken Rosenthal can be a bit…. annoying he has that pretentious thing about him lol! Don't listen to what he says even though the Yanks and Red Sox are strong its not like the Rays are weak! You never know in baseball and in my honest opinion I would like to see other teams rise up against the norm cuz its about time :) Strange will be the day when the red sox and the yankees are both out of the playoffs. The media would go nuts! I understand the frustrations. Well till then sir blogger!
People like him just get my goat because I let them.
But, with a quick look at the entire American League signings this Hot Stove season, I am actually thinkinh we are a little bit closer to a era of parity among the small market teams, with a few big spender taking the older, experienced players.
Long time to go before champagne is again popped into the crowd or in the clubhouses.
Maybe Rosenthal got hit with a fe stray corks and has symptoms of potential PTSD.

I read the article and I get where he is coming from but there is no way that I write anybody off in December. The Rays came out of nowhere in '08. Last year, before the Rockies changed their manager, who would have figured that they would make the playoffs? Did anyone have the Cardinals pegged as the NL Central favorites last year? I doubt it. When the Red Sox were down to the Yankees three games in the ALDS in 2004 did anyone think that they had a chance? Who thought that the Yankees would miss the playoffs AND finish 3rd in the East in 2008?
The beauty of baseball is that every April offers up a clean sheet for all 30 teams to work from. Most teams will probably finish up the season pretty much where we thought that they would from the beginning but every year there are the teams that suprise us all. I don't doubt that 2010 will be no different. Rosenthal should know better than that but I guess a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do to grab headlines. Here's hoping that he is wrong and the Yankees miss the playoffs and here's hoping that everyone has a safe and happy Christmas. Cheers.
Thank you and best possible Christmas to you too.
I almost wrote it off as slow news day sensationalism before I got upset because it is insane to say that even before the beginning of at least the 2010 year.
I am actualkly wondering if the Rays could be the 2009 Rockies in 2010 (lol).
Great stories come out of every season that you would/could not predict.
Take Cliff Lee going from Cleveland-to-Philly-to Seattle in less than 6 months.
Or even that a guy like Garrett Atkins would be in Baltimore when the season began in April 2010.
Rays Renegade
Ken Rosenthal doesn't know what he's talking about. As much as I'd like to believe the Yankees are a lock to win the division in 2010, it's the farthest thing from a certainty. Anything can happen in baseball and usually does. The beauty of spring is that we all start from scratch. Merry Christmas in advance!
I knew you would see the insanity in that posting.
I think it was done to provoke, and if that the intention, then he got his wish.
But if you have to resort to that kind of lunacy to get people to readyou…………….then I am writing about Area 51 and aliens from today on.
Thank you for the Christmas wish, and I know we both will not have a white Christmas…but it is in my thoughts.

Rosenthal should just close his mouth before he bites his tongue. It will be a 1-2 Yankees Rays at the top of the AL East in 2010 and to that I'm 99.999999999% positive. Just saying… : )
The Manoman
P.S. Is that Cano and Upton photo real? I know they're friends but I didn't know they were that tight…. : )
That picture was actually taken by Steve Nesius of the Associated Press during a game at Tropicana Field.
Guess that is one way to keep B J Upton from stealing third.
I found it quite humerous when I saw it and had to save it for..well, today.
More and more I am seeing Rosenthal for what he is…….the town crier who shout out other people's legwork.
Rays Renegade
To use my words, I agree with your opinion on media smugness. When they start shouting down from their Ivory Towers, pass the earplugs. Shame on Ken.! He should know better. You have to play the game. IF, only IF, we could tabulate everything these guys say and keep a running count of them being right and wrong. Somehow a fan's report card should be made public on their yearly prognostications and let the record speak for itself. That would curb a lot of loose tongues. They are like the weatherman, never having to be held accountable for being wrong. Guess they have to talk about something over the winter. You know, that I know, that we know, how well the Rays have played the Yankees over the last 3 years. The Rays slipped on teams they should have beat last year. They generally play the NYY and Boston well. Be well. Merry and Happy Mr. Renegade.
Why even bother. Until Bud gets a set to stand up to the big boys, how can anybody compete against all the money of the top 3 or 4 teams. Everybody but Bud sees it. How can the nfl, nba & nhl be correct and have a salary cap and mlb be so wrong? If CC has a great yearand wins 20 games, he's getting paid a million a win.
I like the way you think.
I would like to see someone keep some sort of accountability numbers, but somethings have been spouted, then pulled back.
I have to say if I write it, it stays online.
I wrote a blog piece last January about trying to obtain media credentials to my MLB team.
I took the blasting of people and also understand and got a new prespective on it all from chatting with team officials.
Maybe someday.
Rays Renegade
Funny you mention CC Sabathia and 20 wins.
The Rays beat him to keep him at 19 during his last regular season start at Tropicana Field.
That was also the game B J Upton hit his cycle.
With Bud Selig set to basically leave after the new MLBPA/MLB contract is put to bed, it will be his time to lay a positive mark on his legacy. He now had bad and good decisions, but not rock hard thing to make you remember him.
Should be fun seeing what he does to set himself apart from other Baseball Commisioners…..Maybe reinstate Pete Rose before he resigns?
Rays Renegade
Feel better now that you got that off your chest? Good! I know how you feel. I mumbled to myself sometimes reading the sport section or sports reports online.
Hope you are having a great Christmas!
Thanks for all your reports!
You know me….I do not back down to anyone.
Not like my opinion means a hill of beans to Rosenthal, but I thought someone should call him on his BS.
I wish you the Merriest of holidays and a bushel of success in 2010.
Keep me excited about the Dodger Blue.
Rays Renegade
thanks 4 commenting on my blog rays renegade have a merry xmas urself plus i am a kid. u have the best ray blogs out there good luck to them want them to win the AL east but thats gunna be hard to do
It is okay to be a kid.

Just besure to have a great day and have fun,laughter and a few smiles with your family.
Some times we can not tell how young the writers really are………..and that shows baseball knowledge maturity.

In our regular Sunday feature, FIFA.com presents you with some of the biggest names in football who will be celebrating their birthdays over the coming week.
30. Daniel Amokachi (40) played a central role in Nigeria's emergence as a footballing force, helping the Super Eagles to qualify for the FIFA World Cup™ for the first time ever, in 1994. He scored two goals during the first of his country's two group-stage victories in the USA, paving the way for an appearance in the second round. Prior to this achievement, the explosive forward had been part of the side that captured the CAF Africa Cup of Nations earlier that same year, a triumph that led to Nigeria playing at the 1995 FIFA Confederations Cup, where the African representatives finished fourth, due in part to two further goals from Amokachi. The Nigerian front man also won an impressive gold medal at the 1996 Olympic Football Tournament in Atlanta, before bringing the curtain down on his international career at France 1998. After having started out at Ranchers Bees in his homeland, he moved to Europe to join Club Brugge in Belgium. He subsequently pulled on the jerseys of Everton, Besiktas, Creteil and Colorado Rapids, and hung up his boots after a spell in the United Arab Emirates. A move into coaching has seen Amokachi take charge of Nigerian outfits Nassarawa and Enyimba.
31. Gregory Coupet (40) is, in terms of silverware, one of the most successful goalkeepers in the history of French football. As well as twice lifting the FIFA Confederations Cup – in 2001 and 2003 – and participating in UEFA EURO 2008 with France, he won no fewer than fourteen national trophies during his eleven seasons between the sticks at Lyon, including seven league championships and one Coupe de France. Coupet turned professional while at Saint-Etienne, and following his honours-laden stint at Stade Gerland, the French custodian signed for Atletico Madrid, before seeing out his career with Paris St Germain, where he once again hoisted the French Cup.
1. Davor Suker (44) rose to prominence at a tender age, securing the FIFA U-20 World Cup with Yugoslavia in 1987, a competition at which he finished top goalscorer, and also turned out at the Olympic Games, at Seoul 1988. In 1996, he propelled Croatia to their first-ever appearance at the UEFA European Championship, where they reached the quarter-finals, with Suker hitting the back of the net on three occasions during the continental contest. The greatest feat of the Balkan attacker's career came two years later, however, when he not only led the Croatians to a maiden FIFA World Cup qualification, at France 1998, but also drove his team-mates on to claim third place at the tournament proper, assisted by six goals from the clinical striker, a tally that saw him earn the Golden Boot award. He bid farewell to the international game after Croatia's exit from Korea/Japan 2002. Suker initially honed his ability to find the net at NK Osijek and Dinamo Zagreb, before subsequent transfers to Sevilla and Real Madrid proved he could score at any level. His time with Los Blancos was highly productive, as he picked up winners' medals in La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup, the UEFA Champions League and the Intercontinental Cup. After putting pen to paper with Arsenal, he went on to lose the UEFA Cup final to Galatasaray. A season at West Ham ensued, before Suker announced his retirement while at 1860 Munich.
2. Heather O'Reilly (27) will look back on the last twelve months with some fondness, following her third successive gold medal at the Women's Olympic Football Tournament at London 2012, adding to those she had already earned at Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008. In addition, the American midfielder was part of the USA teams that finished third at the FIFA Women's World Cup China 2007™ and second at Germany 2011, when Japan proved too strong for them. She had also previously held aloft the 2002 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Canada. At club level, O'Reilly played for New Jersey Wildcats, with whom she won the developmental USL W-League, and FC Sky Blue, where she secured the professional WPS championship. Over the summer, she signed for Boston Breakers.
3. Abdulaziz Al Anbari (58) is a living legend of Kuwait football, having enabled his national team to claim their one and only AFC Asian Cup, in 1980, and to qualify for the 1982 FIFA World Cup Spain, which was the diminutive Middle Eastern nation's first and last appearance on football's greatest stage. The player remained a loyal servant to Al Kuwait SC throughout his club career, winning numerous national trophies in their colours.
4. Toni Kroos (22) did not take long to make a name for himself in German football, playing a key role in his team's third-placed finish at the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup, where he won the Golden Ball award for his excellent performances. He was then named in Die Nationalelf's squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, where the Germans again finished third. He maintained his spot ahead of EURO 2012, helping his nation to the semi-finals, and is currently involved in the qualifying campaign for Brazil 2014. The attack-minded midfield man came through the ranks at Bayern Munich, before embarking on a loan spell with Bayer Leverkusen. He then returned to the Bavarian giants in time to add a Bundesliga title, a German Cup, a German League Cup and two German Super Cups to his footballing CV. Earlier this year, he missed out on a golden opportunity to get his hands on the UEFA Champions League trophy, following Bayern's home defeat by Chelsea.
5. Uli Hoeness (60) can look back with pride on a remarkable career, the highlight of which was undoubtedly inspiring West Germany to reclaim the FIFA World Cup on home soil in 1974, twenty years after their first victory in the tournament and two years after enjoying European Championship glory in 1972. The forward also appeared at the same tournament four years later, where the West Germans came close to recording a repeat success, before losing out to Czechoslovakia on penalties. As a Bayern Munich player, he won three league titles and a German Cup, as well as three consecutive European Cups and an Intercontinental Cup. A serious injury forced Hoeness to prematurely give up the game, but he would go on to enjoy equally impressive success as Bayern's general manager for three decades, before moving upstairs to take on the role of club president in 2009.

Ashton's Story
When a prenatal ultrasound revealed that Sara and Aaron Trombley's unborn son had congenital vertical talus, they already knew where they would go. Just 18 months earlier, their firstborn son, Ashton, was born with the same foot deformity.
Unfortunately, Ashton's first round of treatment in their home state of Virginia was unsuccessful. "My father-in-law is a physician. He reviewed medical journals and searched on-line for treatment options," says Sara. "His research eventually led us to St. Louis Children's Hospital and Dr. Matthew Dobbs."
The Trombleys traveled halfway across the country for treatment. "We were eager to get Ashton's feet corrected and knew that Dr. Dobbs was world renowned for his modified Ponseti method."
Once they arrived in St. Louis, their concerns were immediately put to rest. "I was surprised by how different it was to be treated at a children's hospital," says Sara. "Everyone focused on caring for you and your child. There were so many little things that made a really big difference to our whole family. Plus, Dr. Dobbs is the kindest, nicest man – he explains everything. The entire staff bent over backwards to help us."
After treatment using the Ponseti method, Ashton's vertical talus has been successfully corrected. "He is running everywhere! His knees are skinned up a little bit but that doesn't bother me because I am so happy that he can run!"
Little Brother Wyatt
Ashton's new baby brother, Wyatt, began treatment at Children's Hospital at just 4 weeks of age. Today, Wyatt is a busy 4-month-old boy.
"We knew what to expect this time around," says Sara. "I knew that Wyatt would be ok. Thanks to Dr. Dobbs, I look forward to seeing Wyatt running after his big brother soon!"

For some reason I don't make rice crispy treats a whole lot, but that is going to change. These over the top peppermint rice crispy treats...left me wanting to make more. It's probably a really good thing I wrapped them up and sent them to neighbors very quickly...because I'm not sure how well my will power would have help up to the crispy layers of chocolate and peppermint.
So if you're looking for a fun wintery treat to serve or gift these will work great. Of course they are so yummy but they are also easy, serve a lot, and can easily be packaged. Which is kind of important around Christmas! I can't wait to start baking friends treats...
Here's what you will need:
1 package Jet-puffed mini peppermint mallows
6 cups rice crispy cereal
3 TBS butter
1 Package candy cane Hershey kisses
a few crushed peppermint sticks
1 cup chocolate melts OR melting chocolate
Step 1: Measure out 6 cups of rice crispy cereal into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Unwrap and chop of your candy cane Hershey kisses into small chunks. (smaller then the chunks shown below)
Step 3: Begin melting your butter in a large pot on the stove top.
Step 4: Once it's melted, pour in your marshmallow...keeping the flame on low. You will want to keep stirring until they are fully melted.
Step 5: Then pour the melted marshmallows onto the rice crispy in the mixing bowl.
Step 6: Fold the marsh mallow into the rice crispy.
Step 7: Once it's mixed well pour in about half of your chopped candy cane kisses in.
Step 8: Then press into a large parchment (or wax) paper lined pan. I like to use a half sheet pan for these. A flat sheet pan like this gives you a nice thin treat and cuts easily! If your type A like me...you can take another piece of wax paper and lay it above the rice crispy. Then press even with you hand or spatula to get a nice clean press.
Step 9: Now spread out the rest of your candy cane Hershey kiss chunks over the top. Then layer a small amount of crushed peppermint sticks on top.
Step 9: Melt your chocolate, giving it a nice smooth consistency. If you need melting help check out this post here.
Step 10: Finish it up by drizzling your chocolate all around.
Let set for about 1-2 hours. Cut, Serve, Enjoy!
Maybe Santa would like some of these instead this year...
With sprinkles,

The Crimson varsity capped the 2010 season with another championship performance.
Henley Royal Regatta Official Site | Ladies'

Challenge Cup Draw
Day 1 Recap | Day 2 Recap | Day 3 Recap | Day 4 Recap
HENLEY-ON-THAMES, England—The Harvard heavyweight varsity eight edged Oxford Brookes University and Oxford University by one-third of a length Sunday on the Thames River to capture the Ladies' Challenge Plate at the 2010 Henley Royal Regatta.
The Crimson won a tight race in 6:50. Harvard held a slim lead throughout much of the race and held off Oxford Brookes/Oxford for the narrow victory. The Henley title captures a season full of championships for Harvard, which previously won Eastern Sprints and Harvard/Yale crowns. It was the Crimson's seventh Ladies' Challenge Plate title and its second in as many tries. The Crimson previously won the Ladies' Plate in 1973, '83, '90, '98, 2002 and '07.
Competing for Harvard were coxswain Kelly Evans, stroke Patrick Lapage, Matt Edstein, Nick Jordan, David Wakulich, Sam O'Connor, Michael DiSanto, Anthony Locke and bowman Blake Pucsek. Oxford rower Simon Gawlik '09 was on the opposing side after helping row Harvard to the 2007 Ladies' Plate title.
Another member of Harvard's 2007 championship entry, Henrik Rummel '09, captured a Henley championship Sunday as a member of the four without coxswain from the Princeton Training Center. That four won the Stewards' Challenge Cup by three-quarters of a length over Club France. The race was tight throughout, but Rummel's U.S. crew pulled out the win in 7:09.

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. — Former President Bill Clinton left the hospital and returned to his Westchester home Friday, four days after undergoing heart bypass surgery, his office said.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
The 58-year-old former president arrived at his home in the suburban community of Chappaqua at 6:30 p.m., about 45 minutes after being discharged.
"The president is in good spirits and has taken short walks in the hospital hallway and in his home today," Clinton spokesman Jim Kennedy said in a statement.
In a message sent through his spokesman, Clinton, his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, and their daughter, Chelsea, said: "We appreciate more than words can say all the good wishes and messages of concern that we received during this difficult time in our lives.
"Your thoughts and prayers meant so much to us, and helped keep our spirits strong," they said. "We feel blessed to have such support, and it will continue to sustain us throughout the months of recuperation that remain ahead."
The family also thanked the doctors and nurses at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia, where the former president underwent surgery Monday.
Clinton has been inundated with thousands of well-wishes and flowers. Kennedy's statement Friday said more than 85,000 get-well messages have been received.
Clinton traveled home in a motorcade of four SUVs and a police motorbike escort.
Extensive heart disease
The former president was taken off his respirator and placed in an intensive care unit on Monday night. On Wednesday, he was moved back to his hospital room, where he walked with assistance, sat in his bed and sat up in his chair.
Doctors who performed the four-hour quadruple bypass operation found that Clinton's heart disease was extensive, with blockages in some arteries well over 90 percent.
Clinton went to the hospital late last week after complaining of prolonged chest pain and shortness of breath, but doctors revealed Monday that he'd had these symptoms for several months. They said he had blamed them on lapses in his exercise routine and acid reflux.
In bypass surgery, doctors remove one or more blood vessels from elsewhere in the body—in Clinton's case, two arteries from the chest and a vein from the leg—and attach them to arteries serving the heart, detouring around blockages.
The team of surgeons operating on Clinton was led by Dr. Craig R. Smith, the hospital's chief of cardiothoracic surgery.
No campaigning, yet
Clinton had planned to campaign for Sen. John Kerry, the Democratic nominee for president, but the recovery from surgery will stall his activities with just eight weeks left until the election. It was not immediately clear how soon he could return to the campaign trail.
It is "too soon to know what will be possible," said Kennedy earlier this week. "As the doctors said, it will be two to three months before he is 100 percent recovered."
Before the surgery, Clinton had been scheduled at a book signing of his new memoir in Baltimore and a book party in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, Kennedy said.
Dr. Allan Schwartz, chief of cardiology at New York Presbyterian/Columbia, said it would be possible for Clinton in the future to lead an "extraordinarily active lifestyle" — including hitting the campaign trail.
Dr. W. Randolph Chitwood, chief cardiovascular surgeon at East Carolina University and a spokesman for the American College of Cardiology, agreed with Clinton's doctors that the president had been in a dangerous state leading up to the operation.
"Within the next couple of weeks, something was going to happen," he said.
South Beach diet
Clinton was described as upbeat in the days before the surgery, resting with his wife and daughter. One New York Post photo showed the former president reaching for a Boggle game near his hospital room window.
Clinton has blamed his heart problems in part on genetics — there is a history of heart disease in his mother's family — but also said he "may have done some damage in those years when I was too careless about what I ate."
He was lampooned during his presidency for his inability to resist fatty fast food, but he was also an avid jogger during his two terms in the White House. In recent months he has appeared much slimmer. He has said he cut out junk food, begun working out and adopted the low-carbohydrate, low-fat South Beach diet.

Obama restates opposition to deals on debt ceiling
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says he will negotiate with congressional Republicans only after they agree to reopen the federal government and after they increase the nation's borrowing authority, which is set to hit its limit in mid-October.
Obama says engaging in deal-making now would leave him and other presidents vulnerable to what he calls extortion by opposition parties.
Obama made his remarks Wednesday in an interview with CNBC.
He blamed the current impasse on, quote, "one faction of one party in one chamber."
He said he would be willing to negotiate long-term budget issues, including savings in big spending programs like Medicare and Social Security, but said he would also want to eliminate tax loopholes to generate revenue to pay for some of his education and infrastructure priorities.
A White House official says President Barack Obama has invited congressional leaders to the White House Wednesday for a meeting on the government shutdown.
The official says Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have been invited to the meeting. The official says Obama will urge the House to pass a spending bill to allow the government to reopen.
The government shut down when Congress failed to pass a spending bill ahead of a midnight deadline.
The official insisted on anonymity because the person was not authorized to publicly discuss the meeting before it was announced.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Redshirt freshman goalie Connor Gordon (Bourne, Mass./Tabor Academy) recorded 15 saves in his first career game for the Retrievers, but UMBC failed to score a goal in the first half and could not come back, falling to No. 6 Maryland, 14-3, in the team's season opener, Saturday afternoon at Byrd Stadium.
Gordon registered ten saves in the first half alone, five in each quarter, as UMBC (0-1) trailed just 1-0 after the opening frame. Senior Phil Poe (Harwood, Md./DeMatha) went 2-for-2 on face-offs in the period, but the Retrievers were hampered by five turnovers.
In the second quarter, Maryland (2-0) scored five unanswered, led by Matt Rambo who scored twice, while Jay Carlson (Cockeysville, Md.) doubled his goal tally in the half. Connor Cannizzaro and Joe LoCascio each added a second-quarter goal for the home standing Terps.
Out of the break, Poe won the opening draw, but again the Retrievers could not convert. Gordon continued to keep UMBC in the game, stopping a point blank shot from Mike Chanenchuk with 11 minutes left in the period. Sophomore Pat Young (Ewing, N.J./Christchurch School (Va.)) then got UMBC on the board with a rifled shot from 12 yards out from an assist by classmate Jack Gannon (Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y./Sachem North), to cut the lead to 6-1.
The Terps pegged back just 1:33 later, however, as Chanenchuk scored on a solo effort. The senior added a second less than a minute later from the left side to extend Maryland's lead to 8-1. Chanenchuk finished the game with two goals and three assists.
UMBC then went on a mini 2-0 run, cutting the lead to 8-3, as Gannon scored his first of the season at the 4:00 mark in the period. Senior Zach Linkous (Jarrettsville, Md./St. Paul's), who tallied the assist on Gannon's goal, then converted an extra-man opportunity and scored the second on an assist from Young.
In the fourth, Maryland again scored six unanswered goals and pulled away from the Retrievers.
UMBC now returns home to host Monmouth next Saturday, Feb. 22 at UMBC Stadium. The opening face-off between the Retrievers and the Hawks is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. and game will serve as the first half of a UMBC lacrosse doubleheader as the women take on American at 4:00 p.m.
Dawg Bites
- Maryland now leads the all-time series 28-8. UMBC had won four of the previous six meetings in the series.
- UMBC was last shut out for an entire half on April 1, 2011 in the first half of a 16-5 defeat at Stony Brook.
- Freshman Ruston Souder (Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake) entered in the fourth quarter but did not make a save for UMBC.

Investment in residential development is still strong. The market remains steady, and we consistently see that a quality product in a good location with good level of specification sells. Raul Cimesa looks at the current market.
As policymakers gear up for party conference season it is interesting to note that, despite the over-riding focus on Brexit, there are plenty of fringe events taking place based on the question of housing.
With just under a month to go until the EU Referendum vote, discussions of the impact either outcome would have on the UK economy and real estate sector have dominated professional forums. More specifically, discussions have focussed on the impact a Brexit would have on inward investment into London's real estate.

Not a bad figure, but holy cow, 200? Gonna pass on posting news just for that. I'll include it when another story comes along.
Just in case you missed it Dot, it's only 1 in a series of future statue releases.
I'm tempted to pick them up as they release. ....but $200. yikes
EDIT: Well, I just saw the Chris and jill statues and there's something weird about them. Hopefully G and Nemesis will looks better since those are ones I would want.The first character to be released will be the powerful Tyrant, followed by Chris Redfield, the beautiful Jill Valentine, the terrifying "G" William Burkin, the mysterious Albert Wesker and last but not least the undestructible Nemesis!

The playasia.com listing for Chris mentions a Wesker figure too. I wonder if they will go with his new UC gear, or a more classic Wesker.
So the line up is
Is that all? At $200 US a piece, thats $1200 on statuettes right there... I'll be giving them a miss.
Well, obviously we know there'll be more RE games other than RE5, but perhaps we might hear something a little sooner than we though? This could just be reading more into the situation than is necessary, but i think it's worth sharing none the less!
So here goes.

Because giving your newborn a bath in the sink like a regular person isn't good enough for some people, Italian design firm BluBleu went and created the MagicBath. Yeah, it's pretty much a fancy jacuzzi that fits your baby… but only for the first 12 months. After that most babies will be too large, and the luxury tub will then be relegated to bathing your Pomeranian pup, or similarly sized pet. Aside from being small, the acrylic tub is specially shaped to hold babies lying down in one end, and 6-12 month olds sitting up at the other end. Precisely controlled water temperature, as well as 10 bubble jets will send your child on "a fabulous journey of sensory experiences." Underwater LEDs even provide some mood lighting. Of course you see, your kid is very likely to remember these experiences later on and thank you profusely for having thought it a good idea to spend $2,100 on a fancy tub for them when they were young. You just know they will, right? Right? Otherwise, what would be the point?

Saturday, September 18, 2010
I took a class last week at a local bead shop to make a wire wrapped beaded heart pendant! It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed making the heart. Over the past week I made a wire-wrapped leaf for my daughter. I thought it came out pretty good for a second attempt! I think this is inspiring me to get busy beading again. I'm way behind on my BJP!

Hey guys lets start planning for our annual winter hang. I was thinking the first weekend in January. The 4-6 to be exact. Unless anyone has a better spot I have two possibles depending on how many people attend. They are both in Chesterfield Ma. Let me know what you guys think. Does the dates work for the majority??? This would be car camping location so a good and safe place to try your gear and have backup if needed.

Why you should add Sweden to your Indie/RTW tripUpdated 2016 Sweden is the largest and most populous of the Scandinavian countries and it also leads the way in international influence. Not unlike its neighbors, they really run a tight ship in Sweden, but that doesn't mean it can't be a lot of fun too. This is an expensive country to visit, but if you do some research it can be done without breaking the bank. Going slightly out of season can also help control costs, but be warned that many of Sweden's summer attractions - such as its tourist islands - open in July and close in late August.
- Stockholm is obviously at the top of everyone's list of places to start in Sweden. This gorgeous city is made of up 14 separate islands and the water and bridges can make for some stunning scenery.
- The small old town island in the center is where you'll find churches and palaces and tourist shopping, but just cross a bridge and you are in the bohemian district or a modern shopping or nightlife area.
- Gothenburg is Sweden's second largest city and another popular spot for travelers. This town was built on ship-building, but now is home to the largest university in the country. The university in the center of town helps keep the atmosphere young and adventurous.
- There is plenty of history here as well. The city has many unique museums as well as the largest amusement park in the country.

VESTAL, N.Y. – Riding wins in the 10,000m run and javelin competition by freshmen Hassan Omar (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) and Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany), the UMBC men's track and field team took a share of the lead at the America East Championships with 51 points, on day one of the competition at Binghamton's East Gym Complex.
The Retrievers are tied atop the standings with reigning champion Albany, while Binghamton (47 pts.) and New Hampshire (45 pts.) trail by less than ten points. Maine (22 pts.) and Vermont (9 pts.) round out the standings.
The UMBC women sit in seventh after the first day of competition with ten points. The host Bearcats lead with 63 points with Albany (50 pts.), UNH (48.5 pts.) and Vermont (47.5 pts.) just back. Maine (33 pts.) and Stony Brook (13 pts.) occupy fifth and sixth, while Hartford (8 pts.) is in eighth.
Omar led a group of three Retrievers to place in the top-ten in the 10k race. The freshman took the conference title with a time of 31:42.63 while junior Tom Eldridge (Rocky River, Ohio/Rocky River) took fourth and freshman Noah Hutton (Bel Air, Md.) placed sixth.
Entering the conference meet as the top seed and as the UMBC record-holder, Rentzsch earned the gold medal in the javelin by besting the field by 16 feet. The freshman recorded a top throw of 59.11m (193'11) to win the event. He also finished 16th in the long jump and sits in third in the decathlon after five events. Rentzsch won the shot put section of the competition and took second in the long jump.
The Retrievers also received top team performances in the 3,000m steeplechase and hammer throw. Freshman Redatu Semeon (Waldorf, Md./Thomas Stone) paced the distance crew with a second-place finish with a time of 9:19.18. Juniors Vinny DiSalvo (Washingtonville, N.Y./Washingtonville) and Brandan McGee (Hiram, Ohio/Crestwood) placed eighth and ninth, respectively.
In the throwing event, sophomore Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel/Clemson) missed out on the gold medal by just one foot. Serafeans' heave of 56.78m (186'3") finished just behind that of New Hampshire's Christopher Dupuis (56.80m; 168'4"). Junior Ray Stinsman (Mt. Laurel, N.J./Lenape) finished fifth with a career-best toss of 50.75m (166'6").
UMBC also set itself up in the sprints as multiple athletes qualified for Saturday's finals led by senior Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) who ran the fastest time in the 110m hurdles (14.75).
Senior Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) and freshman Jenove Blanfort both qualified for the 100m and 200m dash events. Long posted the top time in the 200m event, crossing the line in 21.39.
In the 800m run, junior Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) and freshman Andrew Keresztes (Port Jefferson, N.Y./Port Jefferson) took the top-two spots for the finals.
For the women, sophomore Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) moved on to the finals in both sprint events as the top qualifier. She will be joined by freshman D'Nique Phillip (Elkton, Md.) in both event finals while classmate Ebonique Jones (New Castle, Del./William Penn) and junior Kirsten Jones (Brentwood, Tenn./M.L.K. Magnet) advanced in the 100m and 200m competitions, respectively. Kirsten Jones also moved on in the 400m dash with sophomore Kalane' Abbey (Laurel, Md./Laurel) recording a personal-best of 57.32 to qualify as well.
Ebonique Jones also competed in the long jump and took fourth-place with a top jump of 5.61m (18'5") to match her career-best.
In the 400m hurdles, sophomore Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara) edged her school-record time down to 1:01.33, the second-fastest time of the day. Classmate Mary Katherine Kulp (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal) also registered a top personal time (1:03.67) to advance.
Sophomore Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) ran a personal-best time of 2:14.09 to move on to the finals of the 800m run.
Senior Amanda Deller (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen) finished fourth in the hammer throw event with a top throw of 45.78m (150'2").

Ian Goldin provides a fascinating and thoroughly accessible introduction to development. This talk answers key questions about what development means, what its impact is and how it can be used for good.
About the book:
What do we mean by development? How can citizens, governments and the international community foster development? The process by which nations escape poverty and achieve economic and social progress has been the subject of extensive examination for hundreds of years.The notion of development itself has evolved from an original preoccupation with incomes and economic growth to a much broader understanding of development. In this Very Short Introduction Ian Goldin considers the contributions that education, health, gender, equity, and other dimensions of human well-being make to development, and discusses why it is also necessary to include the role of institutions and the rule of law as well as sustainability and environmental concerns. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
