I've been looking at "grab and go" ammo bag options for my various weapon systems, and decided to do a review on the two finalist options I chose - the Maxpedition Active Shooter bag and the LA Police Gear Zombie Hunter bag. Here's a link to the review on my site ThruMyLens:

On Saturday, March 23, 1963, the odds were stacked against the Loyola Ramblers. Despite being the top offensive team in the nation -- scoring 100 or more points 11 times during the regular season -- the Ramblers were labeled as underdogs as they faced the two-time NCAA champion Cincinnati Bearcats.
Cincinnati's slow, controlled style of play combined with the best defense in the country was predicted to be the antidote to Loyola's up-tempo scoring machine which averaged 93 points per game. The tip-off would be the final chapter of a storybook season.
The road to that championship game had been long and winding. The Ramblers lost two of their best bench players to academic ineligibility, giving rise to the five Iron Men -- so nicknamed by sportswriters because coach George Ireland rarely took his starters out of games.
After starting the season ranked third by the Associated Press, the Ramblers won their first 20 games and finished the regular season with a 24-2 record. Loyola kicked off the NCAA Tournament by trouncing first-round opponent Tennessee Tech, 111-42, a NCAA record for margin of victory that stands to this day.
Its second-round opponent, Mississippi State, was a late addition because sports programs representing Mississippi schools were not allowed to play integrated teams. Coach Babe McCarthy stole his team to the tournament under the cover of darkness before an injunction could be served prohibiting the Maroons from playing the Ramblers. Loyola won the historic contest, 61-51, with a 20-point effort by All-America forward Jerry Harkness. That contest would prove to be a landmark event in the civil rights movement.
The Ramblers then dropped Illinois, 79-64 in the Mideast Regional, which pushed them to the Final Four in Louisville, Ky. In the national semifinal, Loyola beat Duke, 94-75 behind a 29-point, 18-rebound game by Les Hunter. Thus, the stage was set for one of the most thrilling championship games in NCAA history.
As predicted, Cincinnati's style of play caused problems for the Ramblers from the tip-off. By the second half, with 13:56 left on the clock, Loyola was trailing by 15 points, 45-30. The Ramblers were so out of their normal rhythm that their star, Harkness, had not yet scored a single point.
"It was my first time on national television and all my friends and relatives were seeing me," Harkness would say later. "All I was thinking was, let's get the score close. But I didn't think we could against Cincinnati because the deficit was 15 and going up."
Against all odds, Loyola's Iron Men stormed back to pull within two points. Harkness gave the TV audience a treat, scoring 11 of his 14 points in the final five minutes. His 12-foot jumper with four seconds remaining in regulation tied the score at 54 and forced overtime.
As the compelling story of the strong-willed underdogs unfolded in Freedom Hall, the Ramblers were cheered on by fans from Duke and Oregon State, who had lost their Final Four games. Ireland later recalled, "We didn't have a band, but the Duke band got behind us."
As the game went into overtime, a Harkness layup gave the Ramblers a quick lead, but the Bearcats answered with a basket to tie the game at 56. A 20-foot jump shot by Ron Miller gave Loyola the lead. With 1:49 remaining and the game tied at 58, Ireland called a time-out to set up a play, which was forced into a jump ball by Cincinnati's Larry Shingleton.
Loyola's shortest man, John Egan squared-off against the taller Shingleton to see who would play for the last shot in the pre-shot clock era of college basketball. To the amazement of the fans and his own teammates, Egan leapt at just the right moment to tip the ball to Miller who moved the ball upcourt for the last shot.
Ireland wanted his All-American, Harkness, to take the last shot, but the Bearcats' Tom Thacker was not going to let Harkness near the basket. With time running out, Harkness fed the ball to Les Hunter at the foul line. Hunter's shot spun around the rim and bounced out, but Vic Rouse, fighting through Bearcat defenders, emerged. With one second remaining, Rouse tipped the ball through the basket as the clock struck zero.
"I knew I was going to get the ball and I took my time once I was in the air," Rouse told reporters after the title game. "I never thought we'd lose it. We came too far to lose it."
The screeching buzzer ended the overtime drama and Rouse was mobbed by screaming fans and teammates. Red Rush, the voice of Ramblers radio could only scream, "We Won! We Won! We Won!" into his overworked microphone. Loyola University Chicago upset Cincinnati 60-58 in overtime and became the 1963 National Basketball Champions.
Even today, Loyola remains the only school in Illinois to have won a Division I National Championship in basketball. The five Iron Men -- Jerry Harkness, Les Hunter, Vic Rouse, John Egan and Ron Miller -- have each had their jersey numbers retired. On Sunday, March 24, the front-page headline of the Chicago Tribune provided the perfect footnote to the magical season: "Loyola Rules U.S."
A documentary on the accomplishments of the team chronicling several of the racial obstacles it faced, was produced as part of ESPN's SportsCenter Flashback series and originally aired in February of 2002.

Problems With Traditional Procurement in the Malaysian Construction Industry - a Survey
Kong, Ann T. & Gray, Jason M. (2006) Problems With Traditional Procurement in the Malaysian Construction Industry - a Survey. In Runeson, Goran & Best, Rick (Eds.) Australasian Universities Building Educators Association Annual Conference, 12-14 July , University of Technology, Sydney.
|PDF (133kB)
This paper reports on an exploratory interview survey of construction project participants aimed at identifying the reasons for the decrease in use of the traditional, lump-sum, procurement system in Malaysia. The results show that most people believe it is too slow. This appears to be in part due to the contiguous nature of the various phase and stages of the process and especially the separation of the design and construction phases. The delays caused by disputes between the various parties are also seen as a contributory factor - the most prominent cause being the frequency of variations, with design and scope changes being a particular source of discontent. It is concluded that an improvement of the whole of the time related reward/penalty system may be the most appropriate measure for the practice in future.

Team Conflicts and what to do about them
Why it is important to use an outside team-building company in prefence to using your own HR dept?
If you're in HR, you're known to be in HR; that's what you do for the business. So obviously you have certain criteria for success. You pick people for jobs, you move them around jobs, you pick promotions and pay-rises and so on, so if that HR person is then running a team-building exercise, you often find that the participants are wondering what actually is going on. Is there a hidden agenda? Am I being assessed for a job I have, assessed for a job I may get, etc? Is there a hidden agenda that I don't know about?
It may not even be obvious to people but they'll get that feeling.
If you bring in somebody completely from outside, the slate is clean so that an outside facilitator can ask questions – even the dumbest, most obvious questions – but they come clean and it's amazing what people will tell them and what people will share.
There's also inevitably no hidden agenda,people don't know them, they don't know how to react; it's a different situation. There's no history for example with an outside facilitator, whereas with an HR Director, an HR Manager, there is.
Maybe they get on well, maybe they don't. So an event run by outside facilitators, certainly with the guidelines of the HR Managers, because they know about the company, and that's vital, the external facilitator holding hands in a professional fashion, with the HR Manager, will get an excellent result, no question about that, but on the whole I don't suggest internal people run sessions because if your mate or your colleague is running the team-building session, you're likely to do what you've always done – you'll act in the same way because you're used to that person, you know how to respond to that person.
So you'll do what you've always done and you'll get what you've always got. If you want to get something different then you've got to do something different. You've heard it before, but it's true.
So spend the money, invest in Team-Building and make the difference.
Not doing team-building can cost you a great deal of money.

TN Moving Stories: Cuomo's Budget Hits Transit With $100 Million Cut, NYC To Begin Year-Round East River Ferry Service, and Right Now Is a Good Time To Be In th
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's budget cuts transit by $100 million. (WNYC)
Right now is a good time to be in the road salt business. (WBUR)
Year-round ferry service will begin on the East River this June. "The service is an attempt by the Bloomberg administration and the City Council to create a robust and viable mass transit alternative for a growing waterfront population that has struggled with clogged subway lines and bus routes that have been truncated or eliminated altogether." (New York Times)
Toyota's sales jumped 17% last month. Pretty good -- but not as good as Ford. (CNBC)
A new report says that President Obama's goal of putting 1 million plug-in electric cars on the road within four years is unlikely, because automakers aren't planning to make enough cars due to uncertain consumer demand. (Washington Post)
...And this is illustrated by Jalopnik, which says that Chevy sold 312 Volts last month. And 28,172 Silverado pickups.
Chicago's Metra commuter line gets a new director. (Chicago Tribune)
Transportation Nation director Andrea Bernstein will be on today's Brian Lehrer Show (WNYC). Topic? "The Interstate of the Union."
San Francisco has cut school buses by 50 percent while increasing transit fares; one Bay Area politician wants to help students out by making the system free to students for the rest of the school year. (Bay Citizen)
And you shall know them by their bikes: Good says that the graphic Bikes of San Francisco "makes (a) compelling case for the bike as the marker of neighborhood identity, and does so with uncanny accuracy."
Top Transportation Nation stories we're following: Real-time bus information finally comes...to one line in Brooklyn. House Republicans want to dump the federal urban transit program "New Starts," which could imperil a number of projects -- including Houston's light rail expansion. Red light cameras save lives--and engender controversy. And: as reported above, Governor Cuomo's budget hits NY's mass transit with another $100 million cut.

China Rent a Boyfriend Service Huge Hit for Chinese New Year 2013, Helping Unmarried Women Avoid Family Backlash
A new China rent-a-boyfriend service for the New Year is becoming a bit hit, helping many unmarried older women feel better about not having a husband to take home.
According to The Telegraph, over 300 boyfriend-rental services are currently listed on the Chinese shopping site Taobao.
One ad reads, "Not getting any younger and still dreading facing the nagging parents? Need a boyfriend to face the family?" If the answer is "yes" then a girl can pick from a wide range of boys who charge a flat rate plus commission on a whole host of thrilling activities.
One example is: "Boyfriend for rent, 300 yuan a day [$48], holding hands and hugs free, appropriate kisses 50 yuan, talking to old people 30 yuan an hour, others we'll talk about it when we meet ... Accommodation and transport costs paid by the woman."
The Telegraph U.K. reported that "it can be a particularly miserable experience for girls who don't bring home a boyfriend, leading to endless questions about why they're not dating and where their life's going." Women over 27 who aren't married yet are labled "leftover women," the report continued.
These women shopping for a temporary boyfriend can show how society views them, at least around the Chinese New Year. The fairly new service in China offers "single working women the ability to return home for the holidays without having to deal with nagging family members and humiliating personal questions."
According to ABC News, online searches for the term "rental boyfriend" have soared by 884 percent over the same period last year.
"There are many reasons why women pay for this service," an entrepreneur named Mr. Gao said. He created one of the new rental services last fall. "Some are trying to make their boyfriends jealous. Some want to bring a boyfriend to attend their company's annual dinner party to show their bosses that they are settled and stable. The women who rent a boyfriend to bring home for the Lunar New Year are wealthy women around the age of 25. Their parents fear losing face and worry that no one wants to marry their old single daughters."
Agricultural products salesman Li Le from Tianjin said that as a rental boyfriend, it's a chance to "meet new people" and "if all goes well, Li might even find something real," according to iScienceTimes.
"It's an exciting thing to do," he told BBC. "I might find someone who shares my interests and it would make both of us happy."
BBC reported that 30 women have contacted Li so far, but he said "it is tough to find someone who trusts him enough to invite him home for Chinese New Year."
What do you think of this China rent-a-boyfriend service? Sound off below!

Dipyridamole-Thallium Scan (Dip-Thall) is a myocardial perfusion study: it looks at blood supply to the heart muscle while under the relative stress of dipyridamole, which causes the coronary arteries to slightly and temporarily constrict (become narrower). Thallium is the radio-isotope used to "light up" the blood cells.
How the Test is Performed
Patients are required to abstain from any foods, drinks or medications which contain caffeine or theophylline, for 24 hours prior to the Dipyridamole-Thallium Scan. Rather than exercise stress, the heart is stressed by the injection of Dipyridamole into a vein, so-called pharmacologic stress. A radio-isotope (radiotracer) such as Thallium is then injected into a vein via an intravenous cannula. This substance is taken up by heart muscle according to the amount of blood supply to that area of heart muscle, and shows up on an image as a "concentration map". Sometimes additional images are taken when the heart is not being stressed, these can then be compared to the stressed images to see if there is an area of "reversible ischaemia". This may help to differentiate coronary artery disease from areas of permanently damaged heart muscle, as with a heart attack (myocardial infarction).
Medical Conditions and Symptoms
A Dipyridamole-Thallium Scan (Dip-Thall) may be requested by a General Practitioner (GP), Emergency Physician or Cardiologist, in cases of chest pain where the cause is not certain.
It therefore has similar use to an Exercise Stress Test, the advantage being that the patient is not required to exercise for a Dipyridamole-Thallium Scan, which may be useful in people with severe arthritis or lung disease who are not able to reach a high level of exercise.
Symptoms of shortness of breath on exertion, waking up in the night with severe breathing difficulty (paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea or PND), or ankle swelling may all be due to heart failure, where the heart's ability to pump is impaired. Heart failure (left ventricular failure = LVF, congestive cardiac failure = CCF) is sometimes due to ischaemic heart disease, also known as coronary artery disease. IHD (ischaemic heart disease) may cause chest pain (angina) or symptoms of heart failure.
A Dipyridamole-Thallium Scan (Dip-Thall) may also be used to monitor the effects of treatment in a patient known to have ischaemic heart disease (angina).
Test Results Explained
Dipyridamole-Thallium Scan (Dip-Thall) results may show:
- Normal perfusion study – normal blood supply to all areas of the heart muscle
- Reversible perfusion defect – decreased blood flow to an area of heart muscle, due to inadequate blood supply from a particular coronary artery (blood vessel around the heart)
- Fixed perfusion defect – decreased blood flow to an area of heart muscle, due to permanently damaged muscle (essentially a scar in the heart muscle)

All motorways and expressways in Austria are subject to a toll (in Vorarlberg the A14 and S16).
All vehicles up to 3.5t maximum loaded weight (passenger cars, motor cycles and light trailers) require a toll sticker. The validity period depends on the type of sticker, there is e.g. a
10-day toll sticker for passenger vehicles € 8,80, motorcycles € 5,10;
2-month toll sticker for passenger vehicles € 25.70, motor cycles € 12,90.
Toll stickers on sale at the motoring clubs, toll stations, petrol stations (in particular in vicinity to the border, motor ways and ramps).
A special toll is collected on some road sections e.g. for the S16, the Arlberg road tunnel between Langen am Arlberg and St. Anton am Arlberg/Tirol for vehicles up to a maximum loaded weight of 3.5t: single fare € 9,50,–. Vehicles of over 3.5t maximum loaded weight are tolled electronically by means of the GO box according to axle number and EURO emission class.
Special Toll Roads:
S16/Arlberg road tunnel: Information on www.asfinag.at
Silvretta-Hochalpenstrasse and Kopserstrasse (negotiable in summer only): Information on www.silvretta-bielerhoehe.at
Closure of the Arlberg Road Tunnel from 18 April to 26 Octobre 2017
The Arlberg Road Tunnel on the S 16 Arlberg expressway between Tyrol and Vorarlberg will be closed to all traffic in both directions from 18th of April to 26th of Octobre 2016. The reason: Extensive refurbishment measures and the installation of additional evacuation routes for more safety. However, ASFINAG has worked with the authorities, emergency services and the provinces of Vorarlberg and Tyrol in advance of the closure to put measures in place that allow traffic to flow via alternative routes during this period with the fewest possible problems.
These alternative routes lead via the Arlberg Pass road (B 197/L 197).
Detailled Information: ASFINAG / Arlberg Road Tunnel

Size matters?
A couple of years ago I picked up an end-of-year sale plant at Lowes. It was a Bressingham blue and I was totally unfamiliar with it. It had no pic or tag, just the name scrawled on the plastic pot. I like the blue color so brought it home. As with many impulse purchases, I had no idea where to plant it so just stuck it in a far-too-sunny spot for a hosta - right under my sunroom bay window.
It grew quietly for a couple of years, mostly neglected. But it seemed to be able to handle the sun so I put off moving it.
This year it's like something out of a SciFi movie, or like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction: "I won't be ignored!"
It is gigantic. Big and blue and pushing aside the hardy hibiscus trying to come up next to it.
Well, Glenn, I'm not ignoring you anymore. And no way am I moving you from what must obviously be the perfect place for you. So, sorry hibiscus. I'm getting a shovel. You guys are so outta there.
And, lucky me, I'd let a stalk of it go to seed last year. Now I have a WS container chock full of Bressingham blue seedlings. Hmmm. Now where the heck are those babies gonna go?
I do love my many hostas. Not only do they give a lush display, but the flowers are great bee magnets. Even the hummers come 'round now and then.
Meanwhile, nice news on the tomato front. Check out the Veg Page!
5 comments:
I don't have room for any more hosta, but save me some seeds, please! LOL.ReplyDelete
No prob, Tom. I'll also include seeds for "Sun Power" - a really cool, wavy leaved golden yellow hosta.ReplyDelete
That is a big hosta! Hostas wouldn't much like my yard, at least not for several more years...my poor dog can barely get a little shade beside one little evergreen tree out back and only early in the morning!ReplyDelete
Hi Amy. Yeah, it is big - almost 4' wide and over 2' tall. I think it's making it's own shade these days. hehReplyDelete
So wait, the yellowish-green one on the LEFT is supposed to be "the biggest of all hostas"?? LOL Just make sure you don't cut down the rhoda or whatever's in between the two - if it sees the blue one, it's going to get a complex!ReplyDelete
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate your notes, comments and questions and will try to reply to each one! :-)

Is "Religious Studies" sexy?
The fact that the USA counts as a single country, makes you feel that all travel within it is somehow 'domestic'. So. last week, I blithely hopped over to the East coast – a journey which took, and felt, as long as going from London to New York (and cost about as much).
The first reason for going was to talk at a conference-cum-workshop at Yale (at the Divinity School in the picture) for Religious Studies graduate students from Yale, Harvard and Brown. This proved a bit of an eye-opener.
I might as well admit that I operate with a pretty old-fashioned stereotype of students doing Religious Studies. I know there are bound to be exceptions, but I do tend to assume that, nice and clever as they are, they'll be pretty straight. And probably religious as well as in Religious Studies (in much the same way as it's generally gays that do gay history, women that do women's history, and so on).
These students were a very bright and talkative bunch, and I had a good time banging on about the Roman ritual of Triumph (once my book on the Triumph comes out in October, the subject will be off-limits…so I'm making the most of these final months). And their comments were spot on. But to all outward appearances, they ran to Religious-Studies type. That is to say, they were rather better scrubbed and tweed-jacketed than the average doctoral student.
Or so I thought until the time came, after an excellent dinner, when they went round the table and explained one by one what they worked on.
I had confidently predicted to myself that there would be a string of thesis topics along the lines of "Some theological problems in the Gospel of Mark" or "Christology in John". I could hardly have been more wrong. One after another, these nice respectable-looking students came out with "Sex in the Acts", "Gender politics and martyrdom", "Surveillance in the New Testament", "Cultural identity in the Talmud", and so on. Not Religious Studies as I imagine it to be.
Is this the USA? Have I got terribly out of touch with what goes on under the banner of Theology in my own university? Or would I come to feel a bit nostalgic for a bit of old-fashioned Religious Studies? Is this what Ruth Gledhill has been telling us all the time?
Actually this wasn't the only thing that enticed me across the continent. I was also keen to meet the people who were publishing my Triumph book at Harvard University Press. I've been dealing with them really closely over the last few months – in what seems like almost constant e-mail conversation with the manuscript editor and others. But most of he people I had never actually met in the flesh. So I went through Cambridge (Mass.) for a night, where they took me out to a great dinner (and where, I have to say in child-like enthusiasm, I stayed in a hotel that allowed you to watch television in the bath/shower, with a screen miraculously embedded in the bathroom mirror!)
There was something strangely exciting about this -- with all that paradoxical buzz of meeting long-term friends for the first time, if you see what I mean. But it also made the book seem real like never before, as they talked about reviews, publicity, dust-jackets and the rest.
And all the more so, when I checked on the Harvard website – and saw it there, as if it already existed, even down to the price (a snip, I should say!). If I fell under the proverbial bus, I reflected, it would now come out anyway. Sorry about the self-advertisement, but do click here.

Three years ago, Cambridge, Mass., made a smart move.
That's when the city started swapping the incandescent bulbs on its 136 traffic lights with LEDs, slashing its electricity bill because the LEDs draw 25% less power. They also last three to five times longer and burn brighter. And as demand increases and technology advances, prices have dropped.
The only problem is one that traffic engineer Jeff Parenti and his team couldn't have foreseen: The low-energy lights emit no heat. The trait usually isn't a problem. But when winter storms drive snow sideways, it accumulates on lamp visors, obscuring the lenses so motorists and pedestrians can't see the traffic light's color.
"We don't have many snow storms like that, so it's way down on my list of things to worry about," says Parenti.
That would be that, except that Cambridge is home to Tom and Ray Magliozzi (also known as Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers), hosts of the nationally syndicated radio show, "Car Talk." Each week they present a "puzzler," or a particularly irksome problem. The listener who solves the puzzler scores a $26 gift certificate, or some other fabulous prize, to the "Shameless Commerce Division" of the show's Web site. www.cartalk.com
It so happens that the Oct. 15 puzzler involved Cambridge's new traffic lights. A producer called Parenti, who verified that the old incandescent lights melted snow better than the LED lights. The puzzler gave Parenti 15 seconds of fame when Ray Magliozzi told the national audience about chatting with "the chief traffic guru in our fair city."
Ah, the law of unintended consequences. Vendors tout products and processes to help you and your team "do more with less." It's only after the purchase order's been signed and the new technology is out in the field that unforeseen challenges rear their heads. If you're lucky, as is the case with LED traffic lights, the difficulty isn't debilitating. But it can require some ingenuity to resolve.
What unexpected experiences have you had with a new product or process? And what would you caution your colleagues to consider before investing in a similar technology? Let me know at firstname.lastname@example.com. We can't give you a gift certificate, but we can provide you 15 minutes of fame when we relate your helpful hints in the magazine or online.

Mr. Chiasson,
A developer suggests,
The .MathematicaResources file can (and should) be edited
from the project properties pane. Right click on the project
folder, then choose properties, then you can edit the values
in the Mathematica section of the pane.
I tried to reproduce the user's report by making an error in
that file, and nothing strange happened.
Something that may have tripped him here is that notebooks in a
project are set up to load all sources in the project when you
launch them in run or debug mode. This can be turned off by
right clicking the notebook then unchecking the box for loading
all files on startup.
The accepted syntax for .MathematicaResources is to use the
properties pane as I explained above.

The Canes wrap up their regular season this week with a pair of home games against Georgia Tech (3/6) and Clemson (3/9). With five seniors on the roster, HurricaneSports.com is honoring a different one each day this week leading up to Senior Day on Saturday against Clemson. Today we chat with senior swingman Trey McKinney Jones
Trey McKinney Jones
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
9.1 ppg, .373 3-pt%, 3.5 rpg
What is your favorite memory or moment as a Hurricane?
"My favorite memory is beating Duke earlier this year. I think we were ranked No. 25 and they were No. 1. Beating the No. 1 team, and it being Duke, in our own conference, at home, and seeing everyone rushing the court, that was my best memory thus far. Hopefully I have some bigger ones later."
What do you think of how your career has turned out?
"I am glad I made the decision to come here. Being at UMKC was hard for me. Then when Coach Haith left, the coach that recruited me, I was kind of unsure because I did not play the previous year. Coach L had no film on me and I don't think he knew who I was, so I was kind of worried at first, but it turned out for the best. I could not imagine a better person for the position and I am grateful. I think it was good for me, it made me work that much harder to prove myself on the court to show him that I deserve to play and get good minutes and be a part of this program."
Are you happy with your legacy at Miami?
"I am, but it is not done yet. Hopefully we can finish off the season with a victory so that is my ultimate goal."
Could you have ever imagined being in a position where you were a legitimate contender for a national championship?
"Honestly, just because of where I came from being that it was mid major school, it never crossed my mind. For it to be a real possibility, this is kind of a surreal experience and it means a lot."
What do you think of the future for Miami Basketball?
"I think Coach L is going to keep moving up. He is a great coach and with the way we have played this year, this summer he will get a lot more recruits. Tonye and Shane are his only two recruits. Everyone else was here before so when he gets his own kind of players and gets to coach them, he will continue to rise."
What do you hope to do in your future?
"Obviously I want to play basketball at the next level. What level that is, I am not sure yet. Right now, I am trying to concentrate on getting the national championship and winning the ACC."
Was playing pro ball always a realistic goal for you or has that developed recently?
"It was always a goal of mine. I know I have a good chance of playing professionally at some level, whether it is overseas or the NBA. Especially now with guys who play well from mid major schools, if they play well, they get drafted or at least get a chance to play in the summer league or things like that. I was not going to be content with just playing college ball and then sitting down and working a nine to five."
What do you think of the emergence of the basketball program? Does this feel more like a basketball school now that it did when you got here?
"I think it is good for us. Now we are being looked at as a well-rounded school and not just a football school, but a basketball school too. "
What was it like to see LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and James Jones sitting courtside at the North Carolina game?
"It was great. It means a lot to me that they came and I know my teammates mentioned it a lot after the game. We look up to them, and for them to come and show support was big."
What is something that few people know about this team?
"Last year, we had to a run a mile in order to practice before the season started. The guards had to make it in 5:45 and the bigs had to make it in six minutes. Just getting up at 5 a.m. to be on the track at 6 a.m., everyone was tired and did not want to be there, but I think that is the hard work we had to put in to be where we are now."
Was that an experience that helped bring the team closer together?
"I think it definitely is. Conditioning is never fun. It brings out the worst in people. There would be times where certain people would not make the time, but some us would get out there and run it with them and it just brought us closer together."
What is your relationship like with the coaches and the rest of the team?
"Everyone says this but I can honestly say we are like brothers, like family. I have had good experiences at both schools, even at UMKC, but for me to come here and feel that same kind of brotherhood and bonding between the players was important."
What is the highlight of your career?
"The Michigan State game earlier this year when I hit five threes. To just help my team win the first big game of the season over a ranked opponent and see the fans rush the court, that was special. I think that was my biggest game."
What did the win over Michigan State do for the team?
"I think it gave us a lot of confidence as a team. We knew after that game that we had something special and we can do some special things this year. It put the past behind us. We had lost that exhibition game to St. Leo and the first game to Florida Gulf Coast. We knew people were doubting us. I feel like after that Michigan State game we were back on our feet and we knew we were going to have a special season."
What has it been like to help take this program all the way to No. 2 in the rankings?
"It has been crazy because I was a part of it the whole time. We have improved so much as a team and as program as a whole, it has done a lot for us."
What do you think of the opportunities you've had at Miami?
"I think it has been rare. Coach L gives everyone the same opportunity. You have individual workouts before the season and everyone is improving before the season. He is very fair. Going back to when he first got the job, I met with him and told him I was maybe concerned there was no film on me and I would not get a fair shot due to the players who played last year. I thought he might continue with that lineup, but the first thing made sure to tell me was that nobody had a spot and that he was going to give everyone a fair chance."
What was your recruitment like and how did you decide to attend Miami?
"I did not really play AAU and that is big in recruiting, so I was not highly recruited. I knew l was better than mid major, not that anything is wrong with people playing at mid majors. I just wanted to play at a major conference school. My last two schools were Wisconsin and here and it was tough for me to turn down Wisconsin because that is where I am from and Madison is like an hour and 15 minutes from where I live. It would have been a perfect situation, I thought. But I prayed about it and I felt like playing in the ACC was the best thing for me. It is the conference most NBA players come from and it is more of a high-speed conference, so I felt like it had a lot to do with it. Coach Haith did a great job of selling the school and I liked him as a coach. Practicing under him for a year was a good experience for me because playing at that level is different from playing at UMKC. The players are better so it took me a year to get used to the changes in talent level. Then he left and having to prove myself again for Coach L was scary at first, but in the end it was definitely a better situation."
How have you developed under this coaching staff?
"I feel like I have developed a lot. Coaches like to work out with us after practice or during individual workouts. You get one on one attention and you work on the details of your game that need work and you can improve. Because of that, each player has improved in the last two years."
Beyond basketball, what do you think of your time at Miami?
"It has been amazing. Just being in Miami, it is way different than Kansas City or Milwaukee. The weather is nice, a lot better than those two. In Milwaukee, it was a snow day yesterday and Kansas City they got a lot of snow. The weather there has been crazy, so not to see snow for the past two or three years has been nice. My experience as a whole, I could not ask for a better one. It has been perfect."
What was it like to see the students camp out and line up before the Duke game?
"It was crazy. I never experienced that and to just see people do that told us that we were on the map. I even went out there with a few of my teammates and we went through the line and shook everyone's hands and took pictures. I felt great seeing that and I wanted to make sure they knew how important it was to us."
What is something you know now that you wish you would have known as a freshman?
"Just to trust your coaches. As a freshman, everyone wants to play, but you just have to trust your coach. They are here for a reason and they are the head coach for a reason. They know what they are doing so if you have to, take a year or two to come off the bench or play limited minutes. You just have to be ready to take advantage of that time and know in the back of your head that you are improving and your coach wants what is best for the team."
What does being a Miami Hurricane mean to you?
"It means the world. It is something that is going to stick with me for the rest of my life. I am going to come back and support for every sport, but especially the basketball team. Kind of like when Warren Sapp or other people come back to support, that is what I am going to continue to do."

Photos: 62
Anastasia Lux is early and has to wait until swimming pool man Steve finishes his work before she can go for a dip. Steve eyes Anastasia's large balcony and her ripe, soft body and beautiful face. She asks him if she can sit and wait. That's fine with Steve. He wants to go for a dip also but not in the pool. This is every pool maintenance man's fantasy. Keep in mind that in the magical world of porn-sex, this always happens to the pool guy. So don't get into the business expecting this will happen. Not that it can't. Anastasia wants to study how he maintains the pool so she can do it at home.

Did you know that there are more than 10,000 individuals who experience developmental disabilities in Oregon? Many of them want to have meaningful work, but according to recent estimates:
To ensure that adults with disabilities are able to find meaningful employment, the State of Oregon began an Employment First initiative in 2010. Find out more about the initiative here.
UCP is proud to support Employment First. The tenants of this initiative are as follows:
These goals mesh nicely with the goal of UCP's supported employment program (Employment Solutions), which is to support adults with developmental disabilities to identify, obtain and retain meaningful and competitive employment from community businesses.
Employment Solutions staff provide as little or as much support as is needed, including skills assessments, assistance writing resumes and cover letters, mock interviews, finding job shadowing and volunteer experiences, providing on-the-job coaching, and assistance negotiating for promotions.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Yes, we know that Rockmount Ranchwear has been making serious clothes for decades. Cowboys didn't just snap up those Western shirts with the snap buttons invented by founder Jack A. Weil because they wanted to look good (although they did); the shirts were comfortable, too. And for more than fifty years, the wholesale business kept Rockmount hopping. But a half-dozen years ago, this longtime family business decided to let everyone in on the secret, opening their LoDo building to retail trade and remodeling the ground-floor space into the coolest-looking store in town. In the process, Rockmount created Denver's single must-stop shop for souvenirs. Japanese tourists, British rock stars and conventioneers from Omaha alike all flock to Rockmount to pick up a tie or scarf with real Western art, a pair of cowboy boots, a hat, a shirt — or all of them, several times over. But you don't need to be a visitor to like Rockmount; this is how the West was worn.
Just a few years ago, the most romantic thing going on East Colfax was the Kitty's on Clarkson Street. That changed when the Tattered Cover and Twist & Shout moved into the former Lowenstein Theater complex. Recent additions have transformed the once-abandoned block into a stimulating spot — and an ideal place to break the ice on a first date. The Tattered Cover's coffee and comfortable chairs provide the setting for a get-to-know-you chat, while Encore Restaurant, with its low lighting and extensive wine list, is a nice noshing option. If things go well, take in a movie on one of Neighborhood Flix Cinema & Cafe's canoodle-friendly couches. And if things don't go well, you can always ease the pain with a little browsing at the record store. The place is much more telling — and a lot more fun — than an eHarmony compatibility profile.
We all need a good shopping bag these days, one that's durable and pretty and won't lose its cool when stuffed full of fresh produce. For one thing, it's good for the environment, but where Mission Wear is concerned, it's also good for the community: The nonprofit not only produces a pleasing selection of said bags from natural, organic and recycled fabrics, but it does so while providing jobs for former women convicts now trying to find their footing in the mainstream world.
The Grand Hyatt Downtown is always looking for hotel packages that will make guests feel good, so when the hotel's Maryann Yuthas came up with the idea for a self-guided Microbrew Walking Tour Package more than five years ago, it was a natural. And over the years, the tour has worked out well enough to keep the buzz going. The weekend package includes overnight accommodations, two pints each at the Denver ChopHouse & Brewery, Rock Bottom Brewery and the Wynkoop Brewing Company; one pint at Breckenridge Brewery; and one flight of beer and a 20 percent discount on beer and gear at Great Divide Brewing Company. "This really delivers Denver," Yuthas says. Indeed it does.
Hotel Monaco pushes its pet-friendliness — a "goldfish companion" is available if you're not traveling with your own furry pal. But it's the treatment of the human clientele that really stands out, from the solicitous concierge to the evening wine hour to the on-premises Renaissance Aveda Spa & Salon to the top-flight meals at Panzano. It's the kind of rose-petal-turndown place that builds a loyal following even among hardened business travelers and makes locals plan exotic weekend getaways in the heart of the city, of all places.
Close enough to the urban core to be a short walk or free shuttle ride to downtown amenities, but far enough away to provide free parking, the Burnsley is a class act. The all-suite rooms are spacious, many with great views of the skyline — yet they're half the cost of what you'd pay for a marble-lined broom closet just a few blocks away. The staff is friendly, the neighborhood calm, and the restaurant serves a killer Reuben, which makes this the perfect place to stash visiting relatives or tightwad business associates looking to live large but not too large.

Sony's idea to make its TVs, computers, tablets and smartphones interact with each other seamlessly has been five years in the making, he clarified in November last year, and the presence of another company in its smartphone unit, by which it had to run decisions, was only hampering progress.
Well, now that Sony Ericsson is Sony Mobile Communications, nothing is stopping the dream from being fulfilled. Sony outed a video which shows how things will eventually work across the board. If you are wondering what is this bright yellow dot displayed by every device in the clip - apparently the technology might be called Dot Switch, and will be presented on February 21, if the teaser holds water.
When announcing the Sony xperia ion for AT&T at CES, Sony said in the press release that it will allow "effortless sharing of content with easy connectivity across multiple screens within the world of Sony", so that could be the Dot Switch thingy.

Not only do these tires look killer, but they handle 100% better and are much quieter than stock. They were dirt cheap at $51 per and I had them dropped shipped to a local installer who charges me $16 per wheel for mounting and balancing. Highly, highly recommended. It's like having a new E!

Rebels Squeeze by 'Dogs
Oct. 27, 2012
By Stephanie Juncker
By Stephanie Juncker
FRESNO, Calif. ---The Fresno State soccer team fell 1-0 to UNLV on Senior Night Saturday evening in Bulldog Stadium. Though the regular season is over, the 'Dogs will begin the Mountain West tournament on Oct. 31 in San Diego.
"It's really a special night for our seniors to be honored," said head coach Brian Zwaschka. "I know that our girls definitely played their hearts out for the seniors. UNLV is a very good team and credit to them for pulling out the victory."
Prior to the start of the game, the Bulldogs honored their two seniors, Vanessa Gonzalez and Callie Hancock, along with their families.
"I want to say thanks to my friends, my family, and especially to my teammates for always supporting me through the thick and thin, and the good times and bad times," said Gonzalez. "I've built friendships that will be everlasting after this."
"Thanking just the support of my family and close friends and obviously teammates," Hancock said. "We've been through a lot together and its just nice to be surrounded by people that you know have your back."
In game action, the first half saw much back and forth play with neither team able to find a goal. The 'Dogs had eight shots in the first half along with one saves.
In the second half, the Rebels found a way to capitalize on seven shots when Jenn Wolfe crossed the ball from the left side over the Bulldog defense to find Susie Bernal who put the ball in the back of the net.
The Bulldogs will now begin action in their first ever Mountain West Tournament. The tournament begins on Wednesday, Oct. 31.
"There isn't a game that we haven't been in," said Zwaschka on moving into the tournament. "I know we haven't had the results but we know that we can play with anybody. The reality is that in an elimination situation you've got everything to play for. We are just going to go for it."
"We are excited about it(MW tournament)," said the two seniors. "We love being the underdog. We have a lot to prove."

Yesterday wasn't the best of days besides the comfort of a big ol' couch. The time that I was awake drove me crazy. First of all, I had to keep all the noises that the storm had to offer out of my head. Plus there was Tak wanting out of the barn. And sometimes I would have this little problem where I knew where to go to the bathroom but something told me I couldn't go outside to do my business. And the other thing that kept me awake was wanting to talk to Sam purposefully. And when I went to sleep, I dreamed that Tak was herding sheep, cows, and goats straight towards me. So then I tryed to think of the smell of gravy. That put me right to sleep. Although I couldn't help but hear a sort of snoring sound in my sleep. I guess it was Tak.
Like Tak said, I am on the chain because of Sam invading my backyard. And after AJ chained me I got in my big old hole that I dug. Right now Tak took the big part of the hole. He also is near my food again! When ever I get near his food or even my own food he growls at me! I guess thats why everyone calls him dumbnut! I wish I was in my older owner Gregory's barn with that really comfy cushion. I wish somebody would give me a belly rub right now! That way I could go to sleep.

Fla. Inmate Tries To Escape By Putting Dummy In Bed
Published April 18th, 2010
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Police say they foiled a Florida inmate's plan to escape by putting a makeshift dummy in his bed.
Patrick Jamal Walton, 22, allegedly put the dummy in place, then escaped the St. Petersburg Work Release Center at about 3 a.m. Friday.
Guards caught on when the dummy failed to respond to a mandatory roll call. But Walton hadn't made it far. Authorities caught him just outside the facility.
Walton's two-year sentence for dealing in stolen property was set to end next year. Now he faces a felony escape charge, too.

2011 Bodegas Norton Reserve Malbec
Retail: $20.00
$12.99per bottle
Product Description:
"Deep red colour with hints of purple. Expressive on the nose with notes of ripe black fruits, violets, and tobacco. Long finish. Can age for 8 years." -Winery
"In 1895, Edmund James Palmer Norton first set eyes on Mendoza countryside during the construction of a train line that joined Mendoza and Chile. Very impressed by the terroir, he founded Bodega Norton, south of the Mendoza River, with a plantation of vines imported from France."
"In 1985, the Austrian businessman Gernot Langes-Swarovski bought Bodega Norton after sensing the great potential of Argentina to influence the world scene. Struck by the beauty of the area and the optimal conditions for growing grapes, he chose Bodega Norton because it was the only traditional winery surrounded by its own vineyard."
"Gernot Langes-Swarovski's son, Michael Halstrick, initiated a new phase, aided by significant investments, modernization and growth, that would prepare them for their big international expansion. During the 90's Bodega Norton started exporting high quality wines, becoming one of the first wineries to develop export markets." -Winery
This was also rated 88 points by both the Wine Advocate and the Wine Enthusiast.

BUIES CREEK – The Campbell University wrestling team will travel to Raleigh on Saturday to compete in four dual matches in the N.C. State Duals at Reynolds Coliseum. The Fighting Camels will face Bloomsburg at 12 p.m., SIU-Edwardsville at 2 p.m., N.C. State at 4 p.m. and finish against George Mason at 6 p.m.
CU enters Saturday's matches at 5-6 overall in dual matches this season. The Camels faced SIU-Edwardsville earlier this season at the Hoosier Duals in Bloomington, Ind., coming away 21-10 victors. The team's four matches mean that it will wrestle the most dual matches in a single day during the season, having competed in three dual matches on two other occasions.
Head coach Joe Boardwine spoke about the intention of this challenging schedule. "What we're doing at N.C. State is to get us ready for the SoCon tournament and the national tournament in March. At the SoCon tournament, you're wrestling three, maybe four times in one day, so this should help us prepare for wrestling in March."
James Cook has posted a 12-3 individual mark at 174 pounds, including a 10-1 record in dual matches. The redshirt freshman from Madera, Calif. has two pins to his credit and two major decisions thus far. Redshirt senior John Weakley has recorded five pins while going 11-6 at 197 pounds.

Space Symposium opens doors to students
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The 29th National Space Symposium opened its doors to students Wednesday, allowing them the opportunity to meet space industry leaders who inspired them to pursue careers in space.
The Space Foundation's Teacher Liaison program gives educators interested in areas of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), a chance to take their high school students to the Space Symposium's Lockheed Martin Exhibit Center.
Janet Stevens, vice president of marketing and communications for the Space Foundation, told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that the tour provides kids a unique chance to think about their career aspirations.
"The students get to see what it is like in the real world," Stevens said. "They get to hear about the kinds of things that, if they grow up to be engineers and scientists, that they could possibly build or invent. It often inspires them to choose a career that they might not otherwise choose -- things that they night not think of."
Neva Nardone, a teacher liaison, agreed that her students were thinking about the future.
"I talk about the symposium all year long," Nardone said. "This is an opportunity for them to see beyond high school."
360 students filed through the exhibit in groups, visiting specific exhibitors with presentations geared towards them.
Nick Gibbs, a senior at Peyton High School, aspires to be an engineer and said the visit opened his eyes to different career paths.
"I wish we had more science classes," Gibbs said of his school. "It's pretty cool after coming and seeing everything."
Gibbs thanked his teacher, Tom Cole, for becoming a liaison and providing him the opportunity.
"It's a lot of fun, and the way he made it sound didn't give it justice for how cool it is here," Gibbs said.
Space Foundation teacher liaisons serve as active links between the Space Foundation and the liaisons' schools and school districts and often work with other space organizations, such as NASA.
Teacher liaisons may be any professional or informal educator in the pre-K through higher education arena.

Enhancing Sustainable Road and Rail Interaction
Brunello, Lara R., Bunker, Jonathan M., Ferreira, Luis, & Ferrara, Renzo (2008) Enhancing Sustainable Road and Rail Interaction. In Znidaric, Ales (Ed.) Transport Research Arena Europe 2008: Greener, Safer and Smarter Road Transport for Europe, 21 - 24 April 2008, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Administrators only
Freight traffic by truck has gained increasing market share over rail with worrying environmental concerns. On the other hand railways are involved in renewal to recover freight mode share and expand transportation capacity with trends toward speed-competitive systems. However many proposed high-speed rail systems have failed to attract sufficient investments to be implemented. Studies have highlighted potential economic weakness based on the assumption that high-speed rail transportation would not cover the capital and operating costs and also provide reasonable profit for investors. Intermodal express freight services on high-speed trains might be the answer to reap significant revenue as well as provide for new business opportunities. Although there are limited examples of best practice, one of these being the TGV Postal in France; the potential exists for new approaches to intermodal operations incorporating high-speed rail lines, perhaps enough to substantially improve their feasibility. To provide a framework for decision-making, the present research will review and investigate existing and new methods of integrating express services within an intermodal context. This paper attempts to address environmental, economic and social issues with the aim to assess the viability of more sustainable road and rail interactions, with particular attention to possible future impacts.

Conscious Consumers® represent approximately $200 billion in grocery business sales. Are you reaching these consumers who care more, share more and spend more?
Food does more than sustain – it fascinates. Your consumer marvels at flavors, textures and presentation, and increasingly does his or her own due diligence about the health, social and environmental consequences of their purchases. We help you communicate with this Conscious Consumer®.
- Conscious Consumers care more: Consumers are likely to switch from a favored food brand if they learn that the company was involved in irresponsible practices involving recalls, animals or labor.
- Conscious Consumers share more: 71% of Americans rate word-of-mouth as important in learning about a company's health, sustainability and CSR practices.
- Conscious Consumers spend more: Americans are willing to spend 31% extra per week on sustainably produced food.
Gibbs-rbb brings a unique, holistic and comprehensive approach to food, beverage and CPG companies' communications strategies. We call this end-to-end communications: starting with the seed and farmers and ending with consumer consumption and disposal.

Romney pledges to create millions of jobs
TAMPA, FLA. - Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will host a farewell rally at the Lakeland, Fla., airport east of Tampa Friday morning.
On Thursday night, Romney accepted his party's nomination with a pledge to create millions of jobs.
But the speech also contained repeated criticism of President Barack Obama.
"I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed. But his promises gave way to disappointment and division," Romney said. "This isn't something we have to accept. Now is the moment when we can do something. With your help we will do something."
Romney also talked about his plan for economic recovery. "Many Americans have given up on this president, but they haven't ever thought about giving up. Not on themselves. Not on each other, and not on America," Romney said. "What is needed in our country today is not complicated or profound. It doesn't take a special government commission to tell us what America needs. What America needs is jobs, lots of jobs."
Romney's five-step plan includes increased domestic energy development and education reforms.
It also emphasizes new trade agreements, deficit reduction and easing taxes and regulations on small businesses.
Channel 9 anchor Blair Miller has been in Tampa all week covering the Republican National Convention. Miller talked about the atmosphere at the acceptance speech.
"When you talk about those supporters mostly here in this arena, he's surrounded by his delegates the last two nights because his convention has been condensed. It really seemed worn out, but today they seemed like 100 percent. Also, another back story and really what might be telling out of this, that appearance by Clint Eastwood. It may be one of the big talkers out of this convention," Miller said.
Eastwood's appearance was supposed to be a surprise, but there was a lot of speculation ahead of his speech.
During his speech, the actor talked to an empty chair, what he called the "invisible Obama."
A Twitter account with that name already has more than 35,000 followers.
Eastwood criticized the president's economic leadership.
"I remember 3 1/2 years ago when Mr. Obama won the election, and though I wasn't a big supporter, I was watching that night. He was having that thing and he was talking about hope and change and they were talking about 'Yes we can'. And it was dark and it was outdoors and it was nice. And people were lighting candles and they were saying, and I just thought, 'This is great.' Everyone's crying. Oprah was crying. I was even crying. And finally, I haven't cried that hard since I found out there's 23 million unemployed people in this country," Eastwood said.
Eastwood's speech was scheduled to last five minutes. He took 13 minutes, and did it all unscripted.
