Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by markie8002000, Mar 5, 2009.
So if Iverson retires and goes into the Hall of Fame would he go in as a Piston? It would be great if Curry gave his induction speech.
That's cold. Here's a more AI-friendly perspective A.I. prepared to leave game quicker than he once played - NBA - CBSSports.com Basketball Procrastination is my best friend and the reason i'm up at 3 in the morning.
I try to keep a stiff upper lip. Not to get too down on the team. But everyone has checked out mentally, except Curry who never checked in. Stuckey, Rip, Tay, Sheed, AI. All checked out. I feel damn sorry for Dice. And Walter Hermann. I'm really disappointed in AI. I tried to stick with him, to try to keep an open mind, but a man's character is not set by how he handles being an All-Star or Scoring Champion. A man's character is determined when his back hurts and he is asked to make a sacrifice for the team. The contrast in character between AI and Dice is night and day. I'm actually anxious for the season to end now. This leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Also, if the AI drama carries on, I will have to ban more people, and I'm tired of that Plus, Ernie ran out of AI material that was even marginally funny about 2 weeks ago, but no one has the heart to tell him that. :P ;) Oh well.
Kinda sounds like a death sentence to any possible contract he could get this summer.
Interesting. I can see why he wouldn't want to carry on if he is not good enough to be a main player and lets be real 18 mins per game is a demotion, but he still thinks he is, so rather than saying all this stuff, he should try and show why he shouldn't be a bench player, prove your point with your play.
Good post here. I've been very concerned as well. I just don't feel like talking current season anymore. I'll be sad when Dice leaves. I just wish somebody coulda seen this mess coming, and done something about it.
This whole situation has been misjudged, mishandled, and just plain screwed up from Joe to Curry to the other Pistons players and right down to Iverson himself. I don't much care for anybody but Dice right now. It's time to clean house IMO. Start with the coach, and then dump every guy that decided to tank it when ever there was controversey this season, which would unfortunately be everyone except Antonio and the bench.
I'd rather this team just missed the playoffs entirely, which would at least have us holding out hope for striking it in the draft lotto. That won't happen though. Nothing better than a first round KO seems to be on the horizon. Followed by a mid-draft pick nobody knows.
I see the KO as nothing less than the appropriate ending to this season.
As long as his jersey are selling he certainly can get a new contract.
Now that is some old fashioned wisdom. It's all about the Benjamins folks.
Reading Curry's comments in the papers today, it seems AI is basically going to pick up Rip's scraps rather than being the sixth man, so I guess that's why he's mad, this is different from Rip going to the bench it seems.
After AI went off in the media yesterday, and presumably some things were probably said before that privately, AI is done with this team. TBH, I can't understand why they are even running him out there at all. It's pretty funny actually. The Pistons are no longer posting AI's post game comments on their site.
Gotta get into the playoffs to give the newbies more of a taste. Losing in the playoffs as a team can strengthen bonds. Stuckey can expereience what it's like as a starter when the other team has a full scouting report on him. Joe can see how certain guys react. If nothing else, MC needs to experience what it's like going up against a coach and team 4 games in a row.
Aren't all the 'AI Will Retire' articles saying the same thing? He wants to go to a team where he can start and that will let him dribble around as much as he wants until he can find his opportunity to score, but him dribbling all over the place looking for his shot is why he isn't starting here. It amazes me that people will say the Pistons didn't give him a chance or that the players tanked to get him sent to the bench.
I don't think it is a foregone conclusion that they'll get swept in the playoffs. (It feels like DET has lost 40 games in a row - how far behind were these other teams?) I feel there is an unbelievable run of bad luck mixed in with the poor play and if they could get most of their players on the court they'll be OK. They played the best team in the L on the road in their disjointed state with most of the players having bad games and had a chance to win.
I believe this then i look at who's coaching the team.
Me neither. He doesn't want to be here and team morale is at an all time low. It's just a bad situation from every angle.
i just read Mccloskey's comments Commentary: Allen Iverson's only concern is himself | detnews.com | The Detroit News and I cant believe they pay him to write what I said three months ago!!!!! LOL It's amazing what losing can reveal.
Separate names with a comma.

Monday 16th May 2011
There is no doubt it would be fair to say all us Gooners cannot wait for the season to finish. Two wins since February and only three clean sheets in our last 12 games tell the story even if we don't analyse everything else.
Speaking to a Man Utd season ticket holder I know in the week, he was the first to admit his side have played poorly or at best average on many occasions this season. In the majority of those games however, they have remained at 0-0 for long periods, often with his team grabbing a winner late on.
This for me has been the major difference. We know we can score goals, or at least create plenty of chances in the majority of games. For me however, even when dominating we have been caught too often at the back.
Yesterday was a perfect example of my point. In the first half an hour we were very poor. Not just because we conceded two goals but more that we simply weren't at the races all over the pitch. In that situation however, it is of paramount importance to keep the game scoreless.
For the last hour we completely dominated, created lots of chances, had a blatant penalty and the resulting sending off turned away and a perfectly good goal disallowed. In a game like this one however, RVP's late goal should have been enough to take the three points.
Yet again we lost the game in the opening stages due to poor defending.
I might sound a bit like our manager here but I don't believe we can point the finger at individual players all of the time. Of course, there are particular mistakes, human beings can always make these but for me it is all about how we deal with each part of the game collectively.
One player doesn't defend, the whole team does and certainly in recent weeks it is an aspect of the game where we have failed on far too many occasions.
The frustrations we all feel as fans came out very clearly on Sunday and with the chance to qualify for the Champions League yet again the minimum we can achieve it demonstrates more than ever how our expectations have changed down the years.
Our last season at what will always be remembered as our spiritual home saw us all in a massive celebratory mood having scraped a Champions League spot on the last game of the season against Wigan.
Since moving to our new home we have come close on numerous accasions but that silverware still eludes us. For each and every one of us that is becoming increasingly frustrating. I don't think there is a Gooner in the world that doesn't know that.
We all have the right to approach that situation in whatever manner we see fit... and I hope you accept that includes me.
Historically, other people have always enjoyed knocking our great club, Gooners of an older generation will confirm that. Many have always believed it was borne out of jealousy due to the Club becoming the biggest, most famous and successful back in the thirties.
This 'grief' if you like, has always made us Gooners stick together and by doing just that we have enjoyed many periods of success, something that grinds even more with those who enjoy to kick us.
Even though like each and every one of you I have my opinions on every aspect of our Club, our teams and our fans, I am of that 'ilk' that I would rather we all did stick together and leave the knocking to other people.
But that's just me.
We are Arsenal.

CHESTERTOWN, MD -- Eighteenth-ranked host Washington College scored four goals in the fourth quarter to pull away from visiting McDaniel en route to an 8-4 win over the Green Terror in a Centennial Conference Men's Lacrosse Semifinal game this afternoon on Kibler Field at Roy Kirby, Jr. Stadium. The Shoremen improved to 11-4 with the win and advanced to their first Centennial Conference Championship game since 2008. Washington will face 13th-ranked Dickinson in Sunday's championship game at 1:00 p.m.
The Shoremen jumped out to a 3-0 lead as junior attackman Matt Lewis (Mt. Airy, MD/Glenelg Country School) scored with 10:13 to go in the first and senior attackman Dominic Serio (Finksburg, MD/Mount St. Joseph) followed with a goal with 5:25 on the clock. Freshman attackman Grant Hughes (Alexandria, VA/St. Stephen's & St. Agnes) opened the second-quarter scoring with a goal with 8:06 left before the intermission.
William Clary got the Green Terror on the board with 7:08 left in the second and DJ Rickels pulled McDaniel to within a goal off an assist from Ben Yancheski with 3:14 left.
Washington scored the only goal of the third quarter when Lewis scored a behind-the-back goal off an assist from sophomore midfielder Hunter Nowicki (Baltimore, MD/Franklin) with 7:40 to go in the third.
Washington opened the fourth quarter with three unanswered goals to open up a 7-2 lead. Lewis netted his third of the day 1:55 into the period, Hughes scored off an assist from sophomore defenseman Casey McKnight (Ridgefield, CT/Ridgefield) with 10:11 to go, and freshman midfielder Luke Birnbaum (Melville, NY/Half Hollows Hill East) scored off a Serio feed with 7:26 to play. McKnight's assist was his first career point and Birnbaum's goal was his first career goal.
Rickels ended Washington's run with a goal with 4:25 to go to trim the lead to 7-3, but Lewis scored his fourth goal with 3:39 left. McDaniel scored with four seconds left in the game as Matt Dupras fired in a goal off a feed from Michael Woglom to provide the final margin.
Lewis's four goals were a career high. Hughes (two goals) and Serio (one goal, one assist) joined Lewis as Shoremen with multiple points. Rickels led the Green Terror with two goals.
Senior goalie Peter Stewart (Annapolis, MD/St. Mary's) made nine saves in the win for Washington, while Brad Motley made 16 saves and scooped up a game-high seven ground balls in the loss for the Green Terror.
The Shoremen held a 42-21 advantage in shots and a 37-29 advantage in ground balls in the game. Washington also won 10 of the game's 16 face-offs.
Dickinson defeated 20th-ranked Gettysburg, 10-5, in the day's second semifinal. The Shoremen will be playing in their ninth Centennial Conference Championship game in the tournament's 12-year history.

May 14, 2014
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The Tennessee soccer team will have a pair of regular-season games televised this fall on SEC Network and ESPNU, as announced by the Southeastern Conference and the SEC Network on Wednesday.
The SEC Network, a new 24/7 sports network launching August 14 and operated by ESPN, will elevate the Southeastern Conference volleyball and soccer programs with unprecedented national television coverage. This season's matchups will increase from a total of 14 events in 2013 to 80 events in 2014. The SEC Network alone will air a combined 65 live women's volleyball and women's soccer games in its debut year - more than five times the number of events available nationwide last year.
"This is a landmark for our league, and certainly it's a massive injection in the showcasing of our sport," Tennessee head coach Brian Pensky said. "Every student-athlete wants to perform on a bigger stage, with a bigger audience; and the SEC Network and its coverage of SEC soccer will certainly allow that to happen."
The Tennessee soccer team's 2014 SEC opener at Texas A&M on Sept. 18 will be aired live at 7 p.m. ET on the SEC Network. UT's final regular-season home match against Missouri on Oct. 26 will be aired live at 4 p.m. ET on ESPNU. An additional slate of games, to be announced at a later date, will be carried on the SEC Network's digital platforms. All SEC Network and ESPNU games will be available on WatchESPN.
"These schedules reflect the breadth of exposure that our student-athletes will receive in the SEC's Olympic sports on the SEC Network," SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said. "It's indicative of the full array of sports and unprecedented number of televised events SEC fans will enjoy throughout the athletic year."
The 80 games scheduled by the SEC and ESPN include:
For the first time, SEC soccer will have a consistent television series, airing every Thursday at 7 p.m. ET beginning Aug. 22 through the regular season, with additional matchups on Sundays. The SEC Network will also televise the First Round, Quarterfinal and Semifinal rounds of the SEC Soccer Tournament from Nov. 3-7.
Also beginning in August, the SEC Network will air 45 college football games this season and feature a game from all 14 teams in the SEC at their home stadium in the first four weeks.
The Southeastern Conference and ESPN have signed a 20-year agreement through 2034 to create and operate a multiplatform network which will launch August 14, 2014. The new network and its accompanying digital platform will air SEC content 24/7 including more than 1,000 events in its first year. The network will televise 45 SEC football games, more than 100 men's basketball games, 60 women's basketball games, 75 baseball games, and events from across the SEC's 21 sports annually. Programming will also include in-depth commentary and analysis in studio shows, daily news and information original content such as SEC Storied, spring football games, and more. Hundreds of additional live events from various sports will be offered exclusively on the digital platform. AT&T U-Verse, DISH, Google Fiber and National Rural Telecommunications cooperative (NRTC) have agreed to carry the SEC Network.

Re: Barkley Sound, West Coast Vancouver Island
I know this is an old thread, but it comes up in a Google search for "Ucluelet customs", so just want to set the record straight - what jackdale said about Ucluelet not being listed as a port of entry on the CBSA website is correct, but that does NOT mean it's not a port of entry. To be clear, Ucluelet IS a port of entry and customs dock at the "52 Steps" dock. The CBSA website is lacking / not updated / incomplete documentation.
I talked to 4 customs people - 1 at Canadian NEXUS, 1 at CBSA main line, an RSPN customs officer at Ucluelet, and that customs officer's manager at Ucluelet. All confirmed Ucluelet is a customs port of entry. The reason for so much paranoia in verifying is it would really suck to go all the way to Neah Bay -> Ucluelet only to have to turn around and do the straits again, twice! And as far as I can tell there is currently *no* official record on the Internet of Ucluelet being a port of entry. So I'm going by the verbal authority of these 4 agents and have written down their agent #s.
The CBSA really should update their website, because having an undocumented port of entry is really confusing and leads to a lot of phone calls.
Re: Barkley Sound, West Coast Vancouver Island
Good to know about Ucluelet Jack, that messes up the trip for anyone planning to leave from Neah though.
Re: Barkley Sound, West Coast Vancouver Island
The government dock at Port Renfrew is a fixed dock. Been there twice.
Re: Barkley Sound, West Coast Vancouver Island
Its been a while since I have been out there.
Hot Springs Cove is worth it. I went in the spring,
September the Jaun De Fuca and the west coast are still prone to fog.
Boat was a 42 Maple Leaf we sailed to Bambfield from Vic was about a day and a half. to windward. Not much there there was a gov dock and pub.
Ucculet is a nice stop, for Food at Co Op, water and Beer. Marina Dock.
A full day from there up to the Hot Springs Cove.
Did Neah Bay to Roche Harbor in June after coming up from Portland.
There's not much in the way of options after Sook, Port Renfrew looks very exposed but there is a gov dock.
Contemplating going out there again soon may be end of august begining of september Fishing is good by August.
more likely I will head up the inside.
Just puttering about in the San Juans just now its quite nice but rather pricy if you stop in anywhere
Re: Barkley Sound, West Coast Vancouver Island
The NEXUS pass doesn't help either. American boats still have to go to one of their ports of entry. The NEXUS pass DOES sometimes allow american boats to clear back into america by phone. Not much help for your trip, because if you're headed for Neah Bay and they say, on the phone call, "you need to proceed to Port Angeles without stopping" you're going to be in for a crappy trip.
I'd have to agree about radar being pretty much a requirement. Basic ones are cheap nowadays.
Re: Barkley Sound, West Coast Vancouver Island
I know there is a dock that says Customs, but I do not believe that Ucluelet is a port entry. Here are the BC CBSA offices:
Directory of CBSA Offices
Re: Barkley Sound, West Coast Vancouver Island
We clear customs at Oak Bay (just east of Victoria) because it's convenient for us from the San Juans and that allows us to stop wherever in case of bad weather. The customs dock at Bamfield where we used to clear is closed but Ucluelet isn't much further west and would be the best if crossing from Neah. Radar is a requirement as far as I'm concerned on the west coast of Van. Is. You can get fog or heavy rain any month of the year and it's not a forgiving area like inside.

Re: Barkley Sound, West Coast Vancouver Island
I berth in Port Angeles right now and am prepping for a West Coast Island trip next year. I appreciate all the good advice on here about the trip.
Thank you.

Re: Barkley Sound, West Coast Vancouver Island
I've read that I can clear customs at Ucluelet or Tofino if I wanted to cross from Neah Bay, has that changed? The link that I shared above recommended that approach and was updated in the last year.
We don't have radar. Delaying until next summer does give me time to prep that boat with radar and work on my high wind sail inventory. I knew fog was a serious problem in August, but didn't know how bad it would be later in the year. The boat that we go on could change between now and then, a friend who is interested in this trip is looking at boats one size increment larger than my own and may end up with something a bit better setup for this trip (including radar).
Re: Barkley Sound, West Coast Vancouver Island
I've done the trip twice, both early in the year so can't comment on frequency of fog in Sept. I see you've put the trip off for a bit, I would recommend earlier in the year for the longer days and less fog. The only difficulty is the long distance between Sooke and Bamfield, we try to time it to take advantage of a long ebb starting early in the AM, and hope for light winds in the afternoon. We motor at 6.25 knots and I think it took about 12 hours (I don't like Pt. Renfrew, anchored there on one return trip to cut the trip in half but pulled the hook an hour later because of swell, exposure and continued to anchor at Sooke just inside the light). This is one of the great trips of the PNW IMHO, and everyone should do it at least once, a bit challenging but well worth the effort.

Sometimes community engagement by architects is the result of a natural disaster; at other times, it is part of a long-term business plan to improve a neighborhood. Architecture has a lot of leaders who can push design forward, but increasingly it's producing leaders to look beyond bricks and mortar and into questions of social agency.
"Architecture for Humanity and Public Architecture: Leaders in the Social Impact Design Movement," a session at the 2013 AIA National Convention, is really two sessions in one. Architecture for Humanity is an organization that fosters individual-based volunteerism. Public Architecture focuses on the United States and is probably best known for the 1% Pro Bono program, through which it seeks commitment from firms to provide 20 hours per person per year to pro bono work.
"One thing to take away from the session is learning how to get involved," says session organizer Audrey Galo, Assoc. AIA, a design fellow with Architecture for Humanity. "It will open people's eyes to the ways they can design and build solutions for communities everywhere."
When a tornado obliterated six square miles of Joplin, Mo., in 2011, 161 people died. Afterwards, over 155,000 people volunteered to help rebuild that community, brick by brick. Among those were the nearby Springfield, Mo., AIA chapter and the school of architecture at Drury University—whose story will be part of "Architects as Leaders: Best Practice for Engaging Community," another AIA Convention session.
Springfield AIA organized a 60-person, two-day charrette to put a vision to Joplin residents' hopes for rebuilding. The Drury University team designed and built a 10,000-square-foot volunteer-tribute garden at the heart of the destroyed area as a way to help people begin to cope with their loss and grief. "Architects are needed the most when the community thinks they are not needed at all," says Keith Hedges, AIA, an assistant professor at Drury's Hammons School of Architecture and the session organizer. "Entering an uncertain process is analogous to jumping on a runaway train. Only preparedness slows the train."
Community developers and architects too often work in silos, says current Enterprise Rose Fellow Ceara O'Leary. But, for the past decade, the Enterprise Rose Fellowship—which funds an early-career architect to work on the staff of a community development organization for three years—has helped designers break down those silos, and "Next Generation Leadership in Community Design," another convention session, will look at career development opportunities through the experiences of current and former Rose fellows.
"For a young architect, that experience opens a lot of doors and the fellowship also opens a lot of eyes about how the process works from both sides," O'Leary says. "And having an architect in a development office changes the way the developer thinks as well. As a result, some developers have started their own design departments. At the very least, it increases the value of design in their eyes."
In a moderated-panel format at convention, "Expanding the Architect's Influence as Civic Leader" will examine the value of AIA chapters in bringing architects together to address community issues. In this case, AIA Colorado South worked for more than six years with the city of Colorado Springs, Colo., the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments, local universities, and the national AIA Sustainability Design Assistance Team program to establish an extensive civic engagement project.
These concepts are definitely transferable, says session organizer Adam Thesing, AIA, president of LKA Partners in Colorado Springs. "It seems that the public has a positive feeling toward architects," he says, "so what we say carries weight." —Douglas Gordon, Hon. AIA

Electrical Enclosures
Batteries and inverters need to be installed as close as possible to each other because of the high currents/large wire sizes used. If flooded lead-acid batteries are used, off-gassing must be considered. Fumes that come from batteries are corrosive and will damage equipment, so battery enclosures must be vented to the outside. Most of our electrical enclosures are built to accommodate specific inverters so be sure to indicate which inverter will be used at time of order. These enclosures facilitate DC connections and connections to inverter/chargers by providing DC circuit breakers for the power inverter and solar charge controller as well as AC connection points for inverters - busbars for input from generator and output to AC distribution panel. These enclosures also facilitate ground fault protection for the solar PV array for code compliance on roof-mounted arrays. Be sure to order the correct GFI breaker for your system. For help choosing the right electrical enclosure, our Tech Desk is available to help at 800-919-2400.
"Some of the nicer off-grid setups we've seen have the battery enclosure on one side of a wall, and the inverter and other equipment on the other side, making for a very short inverter cable run."

True, but I don't intend to treat tracheal mites with grease patties the first year... and even in the second year and going forward, they'll be used only in conjunction with the late fall menthol treatment, and thus I won't likely use them continuously, perhaps only a few months a year.
Yup, except that I plan on implementing both natural and organic methods as well as the more traditional non-organic methods to treat for both types of mites, and other problems.
My concept of "natural" includes leaving the bees alone as much as possible, being aware of potential problems and solutions, and monitoring and treating only for life-threatening situations with minimal intervention. Having a multi-year pre-defined schedule for fantasy bees sounds neither natural or realistic ;)

Carl Jenkinson says he is 'more than comfortable' playing at the highest level after a highly-encouraging start to the season.
The defender, who is deputising for the injured Bacary Sagna, has been in fine form and impressed again in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Manchester City.
Jenkinson believes getting more first-team experience has been crucial in helping him to develop - but he is confident he can improve still further.
"The more I play [means that] I feel more than comfortable at this level now. I feel very comfortable here," he told Arsenal Player.
"I just want to push on from here, keep building every game and get better and better. That's my aim and I just take it game by game."
Jenkinson has also proved to be an attacking threat down the right flank - providing the assist for Gervinho's goal in Montpellier last week. And the defender feels the ability to get forward has become an essential part of a full back's armoury.
"The way we play as a club, you've got to get forward as a full back. I think in the modern game, it's a big part of a full back's job," he said.
"I think you can find plenty of full backs that can just defend, but the good ones are the ones that get forward as well.
"I try to do that as much as I can, and Gibbo's [Kieran Gibbs] been doing it really well so we've got to keep that as a big part of our game."

Rockies extend Tracy's deal through 2012
Rockies extend Tracy's deal through 2012
After agreeing to a three-year contract extension Wednesday, Tracy will get the opportunity to help the Rockies finish it.
"Obviously, a new contract is very exciting to me," said Tracy, who was named National League Manager of the Year on Wednesday as well. "What is more intriguing to me is what is still out there for our ballclub and what we've left out there."
When Tracy took over the Rockies on May 29, they were 18-28. Under his direction they went 74-42 and captured the NL Wild Card. Their season ended with a loss to the Phillies in Game 4 of the NL Division Series.
"You're always going to have that empty feeling that we had after Game 4 unless you play the last game of the year and win," Tracy said. "And that's out there for us, too."
Tracy praised the organization as a whole, naming everyone from owners Charles and Richard Monfort to front-office staffers and, of course, general manager Dan O'Dowd.
The extension had been rumored for some time now, but Tracy said the delay had nothing to do with any disagreements and everything to do with dotting I's and crossing T's.
"The security of the three years is what is so special about the way the Monforts and Danny and the rest of the front office do their business, I never heard about anything less than three years and I don't think there was ever any real hassle over dollars and cents," Tracy said. "They are being extremely fair with me. This is a very special organization, there's no question about it."
In addition to Tracy, the entire 2009 coaching staff has agreed to return for 2010, including pitching coach Bob Apodaca, hitting coach Don Baylor, third-base/infield coach Rich Dauer, bench coach Tom Runnells, first-base coach Glenallen Hill and bullpen coach Jim Wright.
Though it was a coaching staff he inherited when he took over for Hurdle, Tracy had no second thoughts about bringing them back when he met with O'Dowd at season's end.
"I said, 'Danny, every single one of them has to come back because they deserve it,'" Tracy said. "As far as these coaches were concerned, we don't have a chance to accomplish what we accomplished from May 29 through the Division Series had those coaches not stepped forward and got busy doing the things they did. You don't make change for change sake. When you see an individual is doing his job in as professional manner, as these guys did their job, there's no need to make any changes. I really believe that something that helps get you to the last game of the year is familiarity and continuity and I definitely want that going into Spring Training in 2010."
The Rockies' 92 wins in 2009 were the most in franchise history. They made the playoffs for the second time in three seasons and had the best road record in franchise history. The fact that the core of his team returns and is at the age when players tend to improve has Tracy excited about the future.
"If Thanksgiving and Christmas weren't coming up, I'm very close to anxiously looking forward to getting to Tucson and starting back up again," Tracy said. "Because I miss everybody."

My understanding of one difference between Mahayana and Theravada is that Mahayana uses the path of becoming a Boddhisattva on the way to being Englightened, whereas the Theravadin view is that you must be enlighted before you can help others (and that you should work for your arhatship first).
Does anyone have any reliable reference for this? Either in articles, texts or the Pali canon? I only hear people "discuss it" but I'm looking for more information rather than just online discussions .

Planting Plants With Bloem
"Planting Plants with Bloem" sounds like a good title for a television show, but unfortunately, it's going unused. So we guess the only thing to do until the network execs become hip to our idea is to buy so many of these Bloem planters, bowls, and baskets that they can't help but making a television show out of them.
Ends on March 22 at 9AM CT

AMES, Iowa — As rain (with a little snow mixed in) falls across Iowa this week, it seems apparent that general drought conditions in Iowa have improved over the past month. The Department of Natural Resources reported as much in its April 4, 2013 water summary update, saying that a small area of southeast Iowa was viewed as normal on the drought monitor -- with the remainder of the state still in moderate to extreme drought conditions. Then, this week southeast Iowa received more than six inches of rain -- and flash flooding.
Iowans preparing for and recovering from both natural disasters -- drought and flooding -- have easy access to information from the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach homepage, www.extension.iastate.edu. The Dealing with Drought – 2013 webpage, linked from the ISU Extension homepage, contains resources on farm, family and business topics related to dealing with drought.
New information was added to the drought webpage this week -- a presentation on emergency water storage for crop and livestock producers, because even with above normal rainfall, groundwater and well levels in Iowa are likely to require many months to recharge. The presentation prepared by Shawn Shouse and Tom Glanville, agricultural engineers with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, will help producers in rural western Iowa – an area that remains in varying levels of drought conditions.
"This informational presentation is designed to help farmers understand how shallow groundwater resources (wells) can be impacted during and beyond drought," said Shouse. "It also describes how they can use onsite emergency water storage to help meet daily water demands with stressed or limited water supplies."
The DNR's April 4 update said improvement to drought conditions must continue, especially in western Iowa, before statewide drought conditions are greatly reduced or eliminated. Conditions are slowly improving, but there is a long way to go. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a Seasonal Drought Outlook valid through June 30. It indicates that for the eastern three-quarters of the state "conditions are likely to improve" and the outlook for the western quarter calls for "drought ongoing, with some improvement."
Linda Fischer, eastern Iowa regional director for ISU Extension and Outreach, had flashbacks to 2008 eastern Iowa flooding as rains fell this week and communities began sandbagging efforts.
"ISU Extension and Outreach and other state extension services have a network to share disaster preparedness and response resources," said Fischer, an Iowa State representative to the Extension Disaster Education Network, known as EDEN. "Iowans threatened by or dealing with the aftermath of flash flooding will find resources listed on the ISU Extension and Outreach homepage very useful."
First Steps to Food Recovery and Storm Recovery Guide are both available on the ISU Extension and Outreach homepage at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/. County extension offices also have flood and drought resources available; find county extension office locations at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/content/county-offices.

I tried this game and even if it is at its infant stage, it has already annoying things. These things are as follow.
1- They have a weight limit that you can carry in your inventory. NOT popular at all with players.
2- Not only you use MP for your skills, you also use SP. The SP is not available like MP potions. You have to kill mobs to get it up, but the down side is that if you use skills it won't go up that much. You need to kill them without skills to bring it up. It is also used to by skills and it should be limited to that purpose or anything that it is not related to skills.
Also, you are only allowed 1 char free for this game. If you want others you have to pay like $3 or $4 which I think is a crime.
For the rest it is pretty good and I love the idea of the Seal Tower where there is NPC that offers you quests. As you lvl you will get more and more of them and you can repeat them. They tell you what is the mininum of players needed and also the maximum for each one of these quests.
I will stop playing it and come back in a few month to see if they decide to get rid of SP for skill spamming and the weight limit for inventory.
I hope this help a bit

Watch the premiere of Huskies All Access on Wednesday, Jan. 4, at 9:30 p.m. on SNY.
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Napheesa Collier has always let her actions speak for her, whether it was helping the University of Connecticut women's basketball team win a national championship in 2016 or earning consensus first-team All-America honors a season ago.
So when the junior forward was told Monday that the Huskies' freshman class has given itself the nickname of "Fantastic Four" months before its first official college practice, Collier chuckled, rolled her eyes a bit, and shook her head with a smile before staying in character with a brief comment.
"Oh my goodness. It's great that they have a name for themselves, I guess," Collier said.
For sure, UConn's Class of 2020 -- Mikayla Coombs, Lexi Gordon, Andra Espinoza-Hunter, and Megan Walker -- will get the opportunity to live up to their hype. Even with three All-Americans among their four returning starters and with transfers Azura Stevens and Batouly Camara now eligible, the Huskies will likely need their freshmen to contribute if they are to regain the national championship.
Could it have been anyone else?
Rebecca Lobo and Geno Auriemma are already linked together forever in University of Connecticut women's basketball history. The two will come together again in September when Lobo's place in hoop history becomes permanent.
Auriemma will serve as Lobo's presenter when she is enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, in a ceremony at Springfield Symphony Hall on Sept. 8. A presenter must be a member of the Naismith Hall. Auriemma was inducted in his first year of eligibility in 2006.
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Katie Lou Samuelson was feeling her age Monday as she observed some of her teammates working at coach Geno Auriemma's Fore the Kids charity tournament at Hartford Golf Club.
The University of Connecticut women's basketball team's junior All-American turned 20 two weeks ago.
"We have more younger guys than older guys and it's weird that now I'm one of the older guys," Samuelson said. "We need to bring a certain level every day to help us get where we want to go."
Only two Huskies -- seniors Gabby Williams and Kia Nurse -- have played more minutes at the college level than the 6-foot-3 guard. And while they return four starters -- including three All-Americans -- from their 36-1 team that reached the NCAA Final Four for the 10th consecutive year, nine of the 13 on the roster will be playing their first or second seasons at UConn. That group includes transfers Azura Stevens and Batouly Camara and four freshmen who make up what is considered a top-three recruiting class nationally.
CROMWELL, Conn. -- For the first time in nine years, Geno Auriemma has a summer without United States women's national basketball team responsibilities.
The University of Connecticut's Hall of Fame coach has worked on his tan but not so much on his golf game, though that would be hard to believe after seeing his drive off the first tee at the Travelers Championship Celebrity Pro-Am at TPC River Highlands Wednesday find the fairway.
"It's been busy," Auriemma said. "You don't realize that when you're doing the national team stuff, they leave you alone. The minute they think you don't have anything to do? It's been a lot. And there's a lot more to come. So this will be as busy a summer as I have ever had. I'm looking forward to it."
For almost two decades, one of the highlights of the University of Connecticut women's basketball team's schedule was its annual nationally televised game played in January on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Starting with their memorable win over Tennessee in 1995 at Gampel Pavilion through 2013, the Huskies compiled a 15-4 record on the holiday against some of the best competition the Big East and the nation had to offer.
When UConn made its move four years ago to the American Athletic Conference, though, the schedule also changed. But as dates are being made public for the Huskies' 2017-18 season, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day game tradition is returning.
Texas will host UConn on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Jan. 15, at the Frank Erwin Center. The game is the second of a home-and-home series with the Longhorns. UConn defeated Texas 72-54 at Mohegan Sun Arena last Dec. 4. It will be the second holiday meeting between the Huskies and Longhorns. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2005, UConn posted a 73-57 victory in Hartford.
With UConn releasing the dates for its non-league home games Monday, the only date still to be announced on the Huskies' 13-game non-league slate is their trip to national champion South Carolina.
UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- From the night two years ago that the New York Liberty traded up into the first round of the WNBA Draft to select her, Kiah Stokes has been proving people wrong.
Yet it seems that the biggest challenge for the 2015 University of Connecticut honors graduate and third-year New York Liberty forward is proving to herself that she belongs at the highest level.
"I'm just trying to be more confident," Stokes said Wednesday. "That's always been my issue. My coaches mean a lot to me and my teammates mean a lot to me and I'm just trying to fill the role that is asked of me.
"It's not like I doubt myself. I want to do well and do what I can for my teammates."
Kara Wolters always dreamed big.
As she grew up in Holliston, Massachusetts, the daughter of former Boston College basketball star Willie Wolters picked up the game that helped her father reach his school's Hall of Fame. As she grew to 6-foot-7, maybe she could be the next Anne Donovan, an Olympic gold medalist and Hall of Fame center who would later be her coach with the WNBA's Indiana Fever.
Wolters became a star at Holliston High School and caught the eye of University of Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma, who offered her a scholarship that she accepted early in her senior year.
In the Fall of 1993 she arrived in Storrs. But instead of showing her stuff on the court at the start, the Olympic gold medalist she needed to emulate was someone more like Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
Dan Rolfes looked forward to having the chance to watch his former player, Napheesa Collier, and the University of Connecticut women's basketball team play.
But throughout the 6-foot-1 forward's All-American sophomore season he kept having flashbacks to their time at Incarnate Word Academy in St. Louis when the Rolfes-coached Red Knights captured three straight Missouri Class 4A state championships.
"It's so amazing," Rolfes said during a break in the United States U-16 national team trials in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he served as a court coach. "I'd sit there and watch with my assistants and it's so much like Incarnate Word with the high-percentage shots, a lot of times defending the post because of her size, being able to guard a guard or guard a post. What I saw this year was what I saw at Incarnate.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Celeste Taylor took part in the United States U-16 national team trials in 2015. When she returned to the United States Olympic Training Center for this past weekend, she brought some company: Philadelphia Belles AAU teammates Maddie Burke and Kylee Watson.
"I told them that it's a great opportunity," Taylor said Sunday. "They've put so much into it."
The three have taken advantage of that opportunity. On Monday, Taylor, Burke, and Watson were among 18 players named as finalists for the U-16 team that will take part in the FIBA Americas Championship in Buenos Aires, Argentina, June 7-11.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- First there was a thunderous block. Then there was a steal followed by another steal and the players and spectators watching Sunday morning's session of the United States national team U-16 trials were buzzing.
All that was missing was a dunk, not that she can't do that.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Paige Bueckers plays basketball with a poise that belies her age.
The 5-foot-10 guard from Eden Prairie, Minnesota, has already been part of two state championship games and has been named to the all-state tournament team twice. She is currently involved in USA Basketball's U-16 national team trials at the United States Olympic Training Center here. The final day of her freshman year at Hopkins High is Thursday, though she hopes she'll still be here for the U-16 training camp before the 12-player squad heads to Buenos Aries, Argentina, for the FIBA Americas Championships June 7-11.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Aliyah Boston's effort as an applicant candidate at the 2016 United States U-17 national team trials earned her an invitation from USA Basketball to this weekend's U-16 trials at the United States Olympic Training Center.
But the 6-foot-3 forward from Worcester Academy in Massachusetts knew that being a finalist for the U-17 team meant nothing as far making the U-16 team. So she used last year's bid that fell just short as motivation to represent her country for the first time.
"Being last year helped with my preparation because I saw what I needed to work on," Boston said on Friday. "I worked on all of that and the usual things I do to get better -- jump shots, free throws, post moves. I just kept working every day to get better. I wanted to be better running the floor and posting up strong every possession. I want to show that I have an outside game. And I want to show that I'm mentally tougher."
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Sam Brunelle -- a member of the Future Business Leaders of America chapter at William Monroe High in Standardsville, Virginia, -- considers this weekend's stay at the United States Olympic Training Center a business trip.
"And we're pushing for the gold," Brunelle said Friday.
"Last year here was a great experience to learn from all the older girls. Coming into this year I'll have more of a leadership role. I have the experience, I know what the trials will be like and what to expect."
The 6-foot-2 forward, considered the top player in the Class of 2019, was the youngest member of the 2016 United States national team that won a bronze medal at the FIBA U-17 world championships in Spain.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Carla Berube got a taste of what it would be like working with USA Basketball a year ago as a court coach at the U-17 national team trials.
The former University of Connecticut star and the 15-year Tufts University women's basketball coach now has a full plate in front of her. She is at the United States Olympic Training Center here as the head coach of the U-16 team that will take part in the 2017 FIBA Americas Championship June 7-11 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
"Carol Callan (USA Basketball women's national team director) gave me a call around Final Four time and asked if I would be interested in being the coach for this," Berube said Thursday night. "And when Carol Callan calls you, you jump at whatever she needs. The opportunity to represent your country and USA Basketball is amazing.
"Last year working here definitely piqued my interest, and certainly that experience was important for USA Basketball and the committee. I guess they liked what they saw. It was such an awesome experience last year."
Crystal Dangerfield and Megan Walker will have something to talk about with University of Connecticut women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma when they get on campus next weekend to start summer session classes.
Maybe they can do it in Auriemma's native Italian, since Dangerfield and Walker will be spending a good portion of their summer in Italy.
"It would be good to know a few words," Dangerfield said with a laugh Sunday after she and Walker were named to the USA Basketball national team that will play in the FIBA U-19 World Cup to be held July 22-30 in Udine and Cividale del Friuli, Italy.

Mikayla Coombs and the Class of 2017 graduated from the Wesleyan School in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, Saturday morning.
But instead of wearing a cap and gown, Coombs was in her sneakers, shorts, and USA Basketball uniform shirt No. 36 at the U-19 national team trials at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. For the 5-foot-8 guard from Buford, Georgia, making a run at representing her country beats walking across a stage to get a diploma anytime.
Charli Collier is a veteran of two USA Basketball national team trials and is used to facing older players, but her bid to make the 2017 U-19 squad this weekend has a different feel.
The 6-foot-4 forward and University of Connecticut Class of 2018 commit from Mont Belvieu, Texas, is one of three players at the trials with high school eligibility remaining. 23 of the 33 players invited to the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, recently finished their freshman year of college, including UConn guard Crystal Dangerfield and seven others who played against the Huskies.
"I trained differently than I did a year ago for this age group because you have players that have college experience here," Collier said in a phone interview Friday. "They're stronger and faster and more physical and playing against them is going to be great for me going back to my high school team. Next year, I'll be a senior, I'll be 18 and headed to Connecticut, so this is a cool experience...
Sophomore Crystal Dangerfield and incoming freshmen Mikayla Coombs and Megan Walker will get to visit Italy with the University of Connecticut women's basketball team during its tour in August.
They'd also like to make the trip in July for the FIBA U-19 world championships with the United States national team.
Dangerfield, Coombs, and Walker are among 33 players who have accepted invitations to take part in the U-19 trials that will be held May 18-21 at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Also headed to the trials are UConn Class of 2018 commit Charli Collier and 2018 recruiting target Christyn Williams.
Team USA will go for its seventh straight U-19 gold medal at the tournament to be held July 22-30 in Cividale del Friuli and Udine, Italy. The Americans will be led by University of Pittsburgh coach Suzie McConnell-Serio...

UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- Bria Hartley may have had the most interesting offseason of any WNBA player.
Instead of going overseas to play like many or working on their game at home like some, the former University of Connecticut two-time All-American gave birth to her and longtime boyfriend Shakim Phillips' first child -- a boy, Bryson -- on Jan. 14. Two weeks later, Hartley was traded by the Washington Mystics to her hometown team, the New York Liberty.
UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- Kelly Faris walked off the floor for the last time at New Orleans Arena with 2:04 remaining and the University of Connecticut women's basketball team well on its way to a win over Louisville in the 2013 NCAA championship game.
It would mark the sixth time in eight years -- four times at Heritage Christian in Indianapolis and twice at UConn -- her team would win its final contest of the season.
But the winning didn't follow her to the WNBA. In four seasons with the Connecticut Sun, the former first-round pick has not seen the postseason.
"It's been frustrating, very frustrating," Faris said. "I was fortunate enough to be on some great teams in high school and college. I'm going into my fifth year as a professional and I would love nothing more than to be in the playoffs."
The Oakland Raiders took UConn defensive back Obi Melifonwu in the second round of the NFL Draft Friday.
UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- Morgan Tuck was in the stands at the American Airlines Center in Dallas watching her old University of Connecticut women's basketball teammates struggle with Mississippi State in the NCAA Final Four semifinals on March 31, and the 2016 All-American was ready to start looking for her old No. 3 Huskies uniform.
When Natalie Butler arrived at the University of Connecticut after her Big East Freshman of the Year season at Georgetown in 2014, she seemed to be just what the Huskies needed.
With UConn losing WNBA first-round draft picks Stefanie Dolson in 2014 and Kiah Stokes in 2015, Butler was in the perfect spot to give the Huskies the post presence they'd need going forward.
The 6-foot-5 native of Fairfax Station, Virginia, impressed her teammates in the year she out due to NCAA transfer rules. But a thumb injury early in the 2015-16 campaign set her back and she never found the confidence she needed to be a consistent contributor in her two seasons.
UConn announced Wednesday that Butler has decided to transfer from UConn to her hometown school George Mason University.

The NCAA men's basketball tournament is returning to Hartford, Connecticut.
The NCAA announced Tuesday that the XL Center in Hartford will hold 2019 first- and second-round tournament games with the University of Connecticut as the host school. The dates are March 21 and 23.
Antwoine Anderson, a graduate transfer from Fordham University, will play at UConn next season, according to multiple media reports.
Saniya Chong was hoping to have a chance to play in the WNBA. The University of Connecticut senior guard will get that chance.
Chong was taken by the Dallas Wings with the second choice (No. 26 overall) in the third and final round of Thursday's WNBA Draft held in New York.
"I am truly blessed to be able to get this opportunity," Chong said in a statement released by UConn. "I am grateful and excited to start my new journey. Thank you to everyone out there that supported me."
Gabby Williams had seen the act before.
Five days before the University of Connecticut women's basketball team faced Mississippi State in the NCAA national semifinals at American Airlines Center in Dallas last Friday night she watched Morgan William and the Bulldogs stun Baylor in overtime to get to their first Final Four, earning the All-American junior forward's admiration and respect.
"It's what March is about," Williams said. "Teams are going to fight. Players are going to hit shots outside their comfort zone when it really matters. It goes to show it doesn't matter what your seed or anything is, it all depends on how you perform that night."
Truer words have never been spoken and last Friday night Williams saw it all happen again right in front of her. All that was left was to give props to the victors.
The University of Connecticut women's basketball team did not add to the Huskies of Honor on the wall at Gampel Pavilion this season.
That will change -- for the next two years.
Rebecca Lobo always enjoyed visiting the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts.
The former University of Connecticut star will now have a permanent spot there.
Lobo, a native of nearby Southwick, Massachusetts, will be part of the Hall's Class of 2017, it was announced Saturday. She will be inducted as a contributor.
DALLAS -- In an instant, it was over.
It took until the NCAA Final Four semifinals but the University of Connecticut women's basketball team finally learned what a difference a year can make.
For 36 games, when the Huskies needed a basket they got one. When they needed a defensive stop, they got one. When they needed a play, they made one.
DALLAS -- Napheesa Collier will be 21-years-old on Sept. 23.
Her coaches and teammates with the University of Connecticut women's basketball team may not be aware of the exact date. But there are 12 WNBA general managers that are. Since her 22nd birthday is during the 2018 calendar year, Collier will be eligible to enter the 2018 WNBA Draft.
But before Husky Nation begins to panic, the All-America forward said Thursday she has no plans to move on until her eligibility is done in 2019.

DALLAS -- Geno Auriemma wanted to prove a point to his University of Connecticut women's basketball team Thursday about the Huskies' 60-point win over Mississippi State in last year's NCAA Sweet 16 victory.
So the 2017 Coach of the Year was awake early and watched tape. Moriah Jefferson was here, Morgan Tuck there, and Breanna Stewart everywhere as UConn did a number on the Bulldogs in the most lopsided regional semifinal win in tournament history. His emphasis later in the day to the Huskies in the locker room and at their workout, though, was on what he did not see.
"There's nobody on our team right now that had anything other than, 'I was at that game,' to do with that score," Auriemma said. "If you watch that game, Stewie looked like an NBA player playing against high school kids. Moriah was so much better than anybody on the floor. And Tuck just dominated long stretches of the game. So the score was 32-4 at the end of the first quarter."
DALLAS -- Since 1989, Geno Auriemma's University of Connecticut women's basketball team has won at least 23 games on 28 occasions. The one miss came in 1993 when the Huskies finished 18-11.
The Big East Coach of the Year that season was Georgetown's Pat Knapp. The WBCA national Coach of the Year was Iowa's C. Vivian Stringer. Yet, some would still argue -- 11 national championships, 17 Final Four appearances, 40 league titles, and 24 years later -- that Auriemma may have done his best or one of his best coaching jobs just to get that team, which lost its last three games (the Huskies haven't lost two in a row since), into the NCAA tournament.
Whether Auriemma did his best job with his current club has entered the debate. After losing the top three picks of the 2016 WNBA Draft -- All-Americans Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson, and Morgan Tuck -- the Huskies went unbeaten against the toughest non-league schedule in the country then swept through the American Athletic Conference for the fourth straight year. UConn will take a 36-0 record and 111-game winning streak into Friday night's Final Four semifinal game against Mississippi State at the American Airlines Center.

DALLAS -- It was a 45-second video, but it made the University of Connecticut women's basketball team's day.
Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant sent his best wishes via video and through Nike this week to the Huskies, who take on Mississippi State in a NCAA Final Four semifinal game Friday night at American Airlines Center.
"It was obviously really exciting and he's the GOAT so anytime you can have the GOAT talk to you it's a great day," UConn guard Kia Nurse said. "He had a goal to win and that's what he was known for. So you look at someone of his caliber and the career that he had, that he took time out of his day to sit down and send us a video we are very grateful."
Stanford, which like UConn is affiliated with Nike, also received a video from Bryant. The Cardinal face South Carolina in the opener of Friday night's doubleheader.

DALLAS -- Kia Nurse won't be named an All-American during Final Four weekend. The University of Connecticut women's basketball team's junior guard is only playing like one during the NCAA tournament.
Nurse shot 75.8 percent from the floor and 76.9 percent from 3-point land while averaging 18.3 points during the Huskies' successful four-game run through the Bridgeport Regional. But when it was time to lift UConn into the Final Four for the 10th consecutive season Monday night, Nurse did what she does best -- play stifling defense -- to get the job done.
Nurse kept Oregon freshman guard Sabrina Ionescu under wraps while the game was being decided and the top-seeded Huskies built an insurmountable lead as they coasted to a 90-52 win over the No. 10 Ducks at Webster Bank Arena.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Three 2017 NCAA tournament regional champions took home nets after advancing to the Final Four.
The nets that the University of Connecticut women's basketball team wants, though, are still attached to the baskets at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
So while their newest t-shirts read "Cut the Net" and they wore them proudly Monday night, no ladders were needed following the top-seeded Huskies' 90-52 win over No. 10 Oregon in the Bridgeport Regional final at Webster Bank Arena. Though it is not a team rule -- associate head coach Chris Dailey asked the starters on the bench in the final seconds if they wanted to do it -- they maintained their tradition that started in 2009 with Renee Montgomery that the only time they cut down a net is after the national championship is secured.
BRIDGEPORT -- Saniya Chong was celebrating with her University of Connecticut women's basketball teammates Monday night after their 90-52 win over Oregon in the NCAA tournament Bridgeport Regional final at Webster Bank Arena.
The senior guard then heard her name announced over the public address system and could not figure out why. So she turned to classmate Tierney Lawlor to find out why.
Lawlor -- the Dean's List student she is -- of course, had the answer. Chong had been selected to the regional all-tournament team, the first such honor of her career...

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- As time wound down on the University of Connecticut women's basketball team's 90-52 rout of Oregon in the NCAA tournament Bridgeport Regional final at sold-out Webster Bank Arena, coach Geno Auriemma mentioned to his players that it was the Huskies' 10th straight Final Four berth.
Newly-minted All-American Katie Lou Samuelson, who has been ridden hard by Auriemma for two seasons now, was not impressed.
"You suck. You're not very good at this," Samuelson said to the Hall of Fame coach with full sarcasm.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- The old saying that the best thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores could not ring more true for the University of Connecticut women's basketball team.
While Napheesa Collier and Katie Lou Samuelson were key contributors to the Huskies' 2016 national championship as rookies, they always knew that Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson, and Morgan Tuck would be there to bail them out if needed. But the Big Three's graduation meant Collier's and Samuelson's days in the background were over if UConn was to remain among the elite.
Among the reasons the Huskies are one win away from their 10th straight NCAA Final Four appearance is the play of their sophomore sensations. They were rewarded for their efforts Monday by being named to the five-player Associated Press All-America first team...

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- In their three seasons with the University of Connecticut women's basketball team, the Huskies have not lost a game that Kia Nurse has started nor one that Gabby Williams has played in.
But with a career mark of 111-1 and through two national championship runs, the UConn juniors know to take nothing for granted.
So while the numbers favor the top-seeded Huskies in their NCAA tournament Bridgeport Regional final showdown with No. 10 Oregon at Webster Bank Arena Monday night, the only numbers that matter will be the ones on the scoreboard after 40 minutes of action.
"The fact that you get to go to a Final Four doesn't happen every single year," Nurse said. "I could go to the Final Four this year, and it could be my last one. Last year's could be the last one that I ever go to.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Ruthy Hebard was born in Chicago but was less than a week old when her adopted family brought her to Fairbanks, Alaska, to live.
When the 18-year-old University of Oregon women's basketball team's freshman center arrived in the 49th state the biggest name in Alaska high school ball was Jessica Moore, who was the 1999 and 2000 state Gatorade Player of the Year before moving on to the University of Connecticut.
"I have heard of her," Hebard said on Sunday. "She was a great player and played at UConn. I've never met her. I wish I could."
If Moore is following her alma mater in the NCAA tournament, she'll have a chance to see Hebard in action. The top-seeded Huskies take on No. 10 Oregon in the Bridgeport Regional final Monday night at Webster Bank Arena.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Katie Lou Samuelson left the University of Connecticut women's basketball team's locker room at Webster Bank Arena Sunday afternoon with an extra hop to her step.
The top-seeded Huskies' practice for Monday's NCAA tournament Bridgeport Regional final with No. 10 Oregon was about to begin but the toughest part of the sophomore guard's day was done.
Moments before, she had watched on a computer as her older sister, Karlie, kept her college career alive as Stanford rallied past Notre Dame 76-75 to win the Lexington (Kentucky) Regional and advance to the Final Four in Dallas.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Saniya Chong entered Saturday having played 11 games in the NCAA tournament Sweet 16 and beyond for the University of Connecticut women's basketball team.
Her totals were 40 minutes played and six points.
But in a season where the Huskies have needed her the most, the senior guard responded -- again. And UConn is one win away from its record 10th straight Final Four appearance.
Top-seeded UConn looks to advance to its 12th consecutive NCAA Elite Eight Saturday when it takes on No. 4 UCLA in a Bridgeport Regional semifinal game at sold-out Webster Bank Arena.

The Canisius baseball team swept the University at Buffalo in a doubleheader at the Demske Sports Complex on Wednesday afternoon. The Golden Griffins won 7-5 and 2-1 to extend their home winning streak to five games and improve to 24-10 on the season.
Game One – Canisius 7, Buffalo 5
Canisius scored three times in the bottom of the second, doing all of the damage with two outs and forcing Buffalo starter Cory Folk into a 30-pitch inning. Sophomore Mike Booth started the rally with a seeing-eye single through the left side, and sophomore Jesse Puscheck battled back from down 1-2 to work a walk. Junior Jose Torralba followed with a double just inside the third-base bag to score Booth. Freshman Anthony Massicci then singled to left, scoring Puscheck and Massicci. The Griffs added another run in the fourth after a single through the left side from Booth that was bobbled by the outfielder and allowed junior Jimmy Luppens to score to put Canisius up 4-0.
Buffalo had its best scoring opportunity in the fourth against starter Iannick Remillard when the Bulls got runners to the corners with one out. Junior Jesse Kelso made a diving catch in left center on a fly ball from Kyle Figgins for the second out of the inning. The sacrifice fly allowed the runner on third to score but prevented the big inning as Remillard got Jon Mestas to fly out to right on the next pitch to end the inning.
Canisius had the first two batters reach in the fifth, with sophomore Mike Krische drawing a leadoff walk and Kelso following with a perfectly executed hit and run. With Krische running on the pitch, Kelso hit a ball at the area vacated by the shortstop to cover the bag and allowed the Griffs to get runners at the corners with no outs. After Kelso stole second, Luppens hit a grounder to third, which went off the fielder's glove and down the left-field line to allow both runners to score. Canisius extended its lead to 7-1 on an RBI single from Booth.
Canisius would need all of those runs as Buffalo rallied in the seventh, scoring four runs and bringing the go-ahead run to the plate with two outs. A single from Figgins made it 7-5 before junior Jon Fitzsimmons struck out Mestas for the final out of the game and his fifth save of the season.
Remillard went 4.2 innings in his first career start, allowing one run on one hit, walking two and striking out one to pick up his second victory of the season.
Game Two – Canisius 2, Buffalo 1
Buffalo (18-16) scored the first run of the game in the top of the sixth, starting with a single up the middle from Ryan Tulloch. After a sacrifice bunt, a walk to Thomas Richards put two runners on base. River McWilliams singled through the right side, and Tulloch beat the throw home to give Buffalo the 1-0 lead. A diving catch in right center from Krsiche ended the inning and prevented the Bulls from adding two more runs.
Canisius got its first hit of the game in the bottom of the sixth, a leadoff double to right center from senior Brooklyn Foster. After a sacrifice bunt from Kelso advanced Foster to third and a fielding error put Luppens at first, pinch hitter Christian Segar came through with an RBI single through the left side to tie the game.
With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Krische laced a ball down the right-field line and went into third with a stand-up triple. Krische would score on the next pitch, a passed ball to the backstop. The ball bounced halfway back to the plate but the sophomore beat the throw for the walk-off win.
Junior Tyler Soucie (1-0) picked up his first win as a Golden Griffin by throwing a scoreless seventh inning. Junior Mike Tolsma started and threw two scoreless innings while senior Jason Rubenstein threw three scoreless innings of relief.
Canisius returns to the road for a three-game series at Manhattan College this weekend. First pitch for Saturday's doubleheader is set for noon.
Notes: The five-game home winning streak is the longest since a 10-game stretch spanning the end of the 2010 season and beginning of 2011 season… Canisius won for the sixth time this season in its last at-bat… Canisius has won 12 of the last 15 meetings with Buffalo… Canisius improves to 14-2 in its last 16 non-conference home games… Krische batted in the No. 2 spot in the first game, his first appearance out of the leadoff spot in 21 starts this season… Canisius sent nine players to the plate in the bottom of the fifth, batting around for the 10th time this season… The walk-off win for the Griffs was their first at the Demske Sports Complex since a 5-4 win on March 30, 2011, against Buffalo on a 10th-inning homer from Sean Jamieson… Canisius now has 17 triples as a team, one away from the program record of 18... Seven of the Griffs' 15 hits on the day came with two strikes

My apologies if this topic has already been addressed on the forum.
I've recently been mulling over teaching overseas, and I've found some of the information about qualifications (and the quality of the prospective jobs) lacking. I have a B.A. from a state college, as well as some graduate work complete. I have approximately 110 hours of contact teaching hours under my belt at the introductory college level, but this has largely been in philosophy (specifically an introductory ethics course).
I plan on completing an online TESOL course (Ontesol's) within the next two months. I realize that this isn't the most ideal situation, but there aren't any contact TESOL certification courses around here (there is an M.A. program offered through the local university's linguistics department, but I have neither the time nor money for such a program).
So I suppose my ultimate question is: given these qualifications, do I have a shot at a job? If so, do I have a shot at a *decent* job? Public schools in Hong Kong seem to be the way to go, if I can trust the information that I've read online, but are such jobs readily available? Thanks in advance.

Gervinho says Arsenal have to put Saturday's defeat behind them and focus on another big game against Olympiacos in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The Ivory Coast international scored his fourth goal of the season with a smart finish against Chelsea but ended up on the losing side as the Blues ended Arsenal's unbeaten start to the campaign.
It's a big disappointment," said Gervinho. "These games against opponents for the title, we can't afford to lose them, especially at home. They count a lot in a season.
"We had a great team against us, with great players, technical players. Chelsea managed to keep the ball well and caused us problems.
"It would have been great for us to win it but we had no luck and we were not as good as our last game. It's a big disappointment. But we need to swallow this defeat and to focus again on Wednesday's game - because that is another big game."
Olivier Giroud missed a chance to snatch a point when he was played through by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on Saturday but the France striker believes the goals will eventually flow for him.
"It was a good pass from Alex and I think that I needed to go round the keeper as he came out quickly," said Giroud. "If I chipped the ball, the defender could have saved it. So I think I made the right call.
"I scored in midweek [against Coventry] and it was really good for me to score. And I will keep working hard to score goals."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
