LOCH SHELDRAKE — SUNY Sullivan basketball coach Kevin DeVantier got his team prepped for the national tournament by playing nine scholarship schools, and he thought if his Generals could just get by their first game the road would be set for winning the school's fifth championship.
LOCH SHELDRAKE — SUNY Sullivan basketball coach Kevin DeVantier got his team prepped for the national tournament by playing nine scholarship schools, and he thought if his Generals could just get by their first game the road would be set for winning the school's fifth championship.
But Sullivan ran into trouble on opening night of the NJCAA Division III tournament on Thursday. Herkimer Community College shot 50 percent from the field and its zone defense rattled the normally sound Sullivan offense in a 79-72 victory before a packed house at Paul Gerry Fieldhouse.
"We laid an egg tonight, and unfortunately it cost us a national title,'' DeVantier said.
Sullivan (30-4) can still play for a top-three finish. It won't be easy, though, since third-ranked Sullivan must face No. 2 Rochester (Minn.) Community & Technical College (27-4) in a 2 p.m. Friday matchup, a mere 16 hours after a stinging defeat.
Sullivan shot 5-for-28 from 3-point range, with Newburgh's Marcus Henderson going 3-for-16 — he finished with 12 points.
"I couldn't make any shots tonight,'' Henderson said. "Their zone was very good in the sense that it stopped us from doing what we wanted to do on a consistent basis. We were playing a little tentative instead of attacking the zone and penetrating the gaps, and that all starts with me as the point guard of this team.''
Willie Williams posted 20 points and 14 rebounds to lead Sullivan. Normally, Williams is proficient with head fakes and scoring but Herkimer's big men didn't get caught in the air often and they helped out in the low post defenses.
"It's like what the back of our (practice) shirts say: 'No regrets,' '' Williams said. "We started out with a bad start. We came back. We fought so hard and we ended up losing. It is what it is.''
Jerome Floyd hit 11 foul shots as part of his team-leading 19 points for Herkimer. Jonathan Feiler sat most of the second half with foul trouble but managed 15 points. Demetrius Mitchell scored 15 and Todd Hunt added 14 for No. 4 Herkimer (31-3), which will play No. 1 Brookdale (N.J.) Community College in the second semifinal on Friday.
Sullivan allowed Herkimer to go on a 19-0 scoring run early in the game for a 22-7 lead — DeVantier blamed himself for that for being too frantic on the sidelines (he picked up a technical foul) and influencing his players in a negative way. Sullivan went on a 24-6 run to pull ahead by three. Herkimer went into halftime up 37-33.
Tied at 37, Herkimer hit four 3-point shots from the left wing over a four-minute stretch, pulling out to a 53-45 lead. Sullivan closed to within three on three occasions but could draw no closer.
"We can't strive for number one anymore because we lost,'' Henderson said, "but if we can finish top-three, now, I have to be satisfied. "� All we can do is grow from this and learn from this.''

Forest Adventures
series: Wildlife Safaris
air date: 2/01/14 12:55 AM
The world's forests are one of the planet's most precious - and perhaps most endangered - resources. They are also home to diverse and exciting wildlife. The journey begins in the Indian jungle of Ranthambhore in search of the Royal Bengal tiger. Along the way, sometimes seen from atop an elephant, there are snakes, peacocks, and crocodiles among the impressive array of creatures. The tigers are discovered as they wander the ruins of an ancient palace, a breathtaking sight. In the misty forests of Borneo and the Amazon, traveling by plane, canoe and "swamp jeeps," we experience the visual spectacle of giant otters, high jumping fish, sloths and jaguars.
WARNING: Email reminders for this program have already been sent out. Your reminder may not reach the intended address in time for this program's airing.

As we watch the progress of the war in Iraq, most of us can only imagine the mind-numbing fatigue that must be affecting the soldiers, sailors and airmen fighting in the gulf.
So how do they keep going in life and death situations and how do commanders know when their men are too tired?
You don't have to be a doctor or a general to realize that an army on the attack has little time for rest. There's the physical demands plus the stress of battle to deal with. Then try sleeping in a foxhole and you can see what rest soldiers do get may not be all that restorative.
Sgt. Gerrold Johnson says they're called "stragglers," anytime there's a movement marching, they're the ones that are obviously fatigued and are in the back of the group.
Determination and adrenaline can compensate some, but eventually fatigue has to degrade performance. In war, that can get you and your unit killed.
Dr. Michael Rosenburg of the JFK Medical Center says it affects how alert and attentive you can be, and that it affects your decision-making ability, as well as how rapidly and accurately you can react.
Stimulant medications such as amphetamines, Ritalin and Provigil are reportedly being used in the gulf to keep troops sharp.
But a commander has to have a better way to tell whether his troops are able to carry out a mission. It turns out the eye movements, such as tracking an object and pupilary reaction time, deteriorate with fatigue.
Dr. Rosenburg says the goal is to correlate those and other measurable things with fatigue and mission impairment.
He says there should be a device that tracks and tests soldiers to decide whether each individual will be able to complete the mission safely and successfully.
Such a device is not available yet.

Coach Will Muschamp's transformation of the Florida football program from a 7-6 team in his first year to an 11-1 club that finished the regular season ranked No. 3 in the BCS standings in a year's time has been amazing.
To wit:
Florida, which played the nation's toughest schedule per the NCAA, was 4-1 against BCS top-12 teams, 4-1 against teams that were ranked at the time of the game and 7-1 against teams which will play in bowl games.
While going 1-3 on the road last season, the Gators went 4-0 this season, which is not counting the game at Jacksonville, a neutral site. The Gators had two losses at home a year ago, but went 7-0 this year.
The Gators were last in the SEC in turnover margin last season at minus-12. They finished this regular season tied for the SEC lead with plus-17.
UF was outscored 86-59 in the fourth quarter last season. It turned it around this season by outscoring teams 115-29 in the game's final 15 minutes.
Florida finished 7-1 in the SEC a season after going 3-5. The four-win improvement in conference play matches the best in program history (1954: Gators went 5-2 in SEC after going 1-3-2 the previous season; 1980: Gators went 4-2 in SEC after going 0-6 in the 1979 season).
Muschamp is the only first-time head coach at a BCS-conference school to win 11 regular-season games in his second season after finishing .500 or worse the previous regular season in records back to 1996. The five-game turnaround in the regular season marked the biggest one-year leap for the program in 32 years (0-10-1 in 1979, 7-4 regular season in 1980).
Muschamp is the third UF coach to record 10 wins in his second season as head coach, joining Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer.
Impressive stuff indeed. And that's just without digging deeper into the statistical improvements.
"Heck of a season," Muschamp said. "We have an outstanding staff that's completely on board with what we are trying to do and we have all the support as we continue to move forward."
Muschamp and the Gators have exceeded expectations in Year 2. What does he have for an encore in the following seasons? The Gators are already off to a great start in that regard by having the No. 1-ranked 2013 recruiting class, according to ESPN.
"At the University of Florida, we're about winning championships," Muschamp said. "We're about going to Atlanta (site of the SEC championship game). We didn't achieve that goal. That's important to me. … Everybody wants to talk about we've arrived and we're back. Hell, we haven't won a championship. Until we've won a championship, I'm going to have a hard time saying we've arrived or we're back at all."

James Rodriguez believes his Colombia team-mate Radamel Falcao would be a huge success if he decided to follow him to Real Madrid.
Rodriguez on Tuesday signed a six-year contract with European champions Real after Monaco accepted a reported 80 million euro (£63million) transfer fee that, if accurate, would make the forward the fourth most expensive player of all time.
Only Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo - both new team-mates for Rodriguez at the Bernabeu - and Barcelona's Luis Suarez have moved clubs for more money.
Rodriguez excelled at the World Cup, scoring six goals to win the Golden Boot in the absence of injured Colombia hitman Falcao, at the time his colleague at Monaco.
And although the former Atletico Madrid striker has not openly confessed to wanting a switch to Real, Rodriguez feels he would be a "great" addition to Carlo Ancelotti's side.
Speaking at his introductory press conference, Rodriguez said: "He has not said anything to me and it's not really for me to talk about, but Falcao is a great goalscorer and could play here.
"It is up to the club."
Falcao missed the World Cup after suffering knee ligament damage in January and is steadily working his way back to full fitness.
Whether or not his countryman follows him to Spain, Rodriguez now has a "dream" opportunity to work alongside Bale and Ronaldo in the pursuit of further glory following Madrid's recent Champions League triumph.
He said: "I just want to help make history and bring joy to the Madrid fans.
"This is a club which is used to winning and I'm prepared mentally and physically to do so. It is a pleasure to be among so many stars and I'm sure I'll learn a lot from everyone."
Rodriguez was one of the revelations of the World Cup, scoring in each of Colombia's games as they reached the quarter-finals of the competition for the very first time, eventually losing 2-1 to hosts Brazil.
His stunning 25-yard volley against Uruguay was voted goal of the tournament on FIFA.com.
After signing his contract alongside Real president Florentino Perez and being formally presented in the Bernabeu's presidential box on Tuesday, Rodriguez retreated inside to change into the famous white kit for the first time.
He emerged to a rapturous reception from a 45,000-strong crowd, around a third of whom were wearing Colombia shirts.
Then, while he kicked balls into the crowd - as is traditional for new high-profile arrivals to do - he was rushed by several enthusiastic supporters and made a point of embracing them before they were ushered away by security.
Rodriguez added: "I've always followed Real Madrid and always dreamed of playing here.
"I've suffered a lot to get here and when you do that then it tastes so much better.
"I will never forget this day. I hope to work hard, to train well, and to experience a lot of joy here.
"I know I am under a lot of pressure, but I am happy to face it."
Rodriguez began his professional career with Colombian side Envigado before moving down to Argentinian club Banfield aged 17.
He joined Porto for £4million in 2010, and three years later he signed for Monaco for £38.5million after helping the Portuguese side win a hat-trick of league titles and the 2011 Europa League.
The left-footed forward scored 10 goals in 38 matches in all competitions for Monaco last term as they finished second in Ligue 1 behind Paris St Germain.

You've got tech questions, here are the answers. Kim Komando helps you make the most of your technology by answering your thorniest tech questions. So if you're wondering what to buy, how to plug it in, or how to fix it, Kim can help.
Check your hard drive health
Question: My hard drive keeps making this strange clicking noise when it boots up. Can I check how it's doing without opening it up?
Answer: Yes, but you have to act quickly! That clicking noise could mean a full crash is coming soon. Make sure all of your data is backed up before you do anything else. Next, run a scan with CrystalDiskInfo. This program shows you the statistics that most modern hard drives record. Some of the stats might be a little hard to understand, but the program breaks it down into a simple Health Status meter. This will tell you whether you should be worried or if your hard drive still has some life in it.
Text without a computer
Question: I'm tired of getting up to check my phone every time I get a new text. Is there any way to check my texts from my computer?
Answer: Many ways, actually. If you use an iPhone, you can use Messages to send and receive texts from your Mac. Google Voice works too, but you'll have to use a different number. Google Voice works on Androids, but MightyText and AirDroid actually use your real number to send texts. Since they send the text through your phone, standard texting rates apply and your phone needs to be on for the text to send. Most texting apps use up a bit of data, too. Make sure you don't run over your data limit!
Run old programs on your new computer
Question: I'm about to buy a new computer. Will the programs I use on my current Windows XP computer run on Windows 7 or Windows 8?
Answer: I'm willing to bet most of them will. You can double-check with Microsoft's compatibility checker. Microsoft has plenty of information about older programs and whether they work on Windows 7 and 8. Your programs will probably be in there. If you're having trouble making something work, try right-clicking the program's icon and choosing Properties. Find the compatibility tab and then click the "Run this program in compatibility mode for" checkbox. Choose the version of Windows that matches your previous operating system, and it should work the next time you load it. You can also try the "run as administrator" option from the same tab.
Inkjet vs. laser printers
Question: I'm thinking about buying a new printer. Should I buy an inkjet or laser printer?
Answer: That depends on what you need to print. If you only need to print text documents, a laser printer will be faster and give you higher-quality prints. It will be slightly more expensive upfront, but the cost to run a laser printer is much lower. However, if you need to print pictures or print on multiple different styles of paper, the inkjet will cause fewer headaches. Keep in mind that there are sites like SnapFish and Winkflash that can print pictures for you, too. Professional printing like this might save you some cash and time if you don't print pictures that often.
Web mail vs. ISP mail
Question: I use an email account that my Internet service provider gave me for email. Most of my friends use Gmail. Which do you think is better?
Answer: Third-party Web mail, like Gmail, Yahoo! and Hotmail/Outlook, is usually better than ISP mail. There are a few reasons, but the most glaring is that ISP mail is tied to one provider. If you switch Internet service providers, your mail might not make the jump with you. Plus, Web mail works better on most mobile gadgets, has better spam screening and usually offers more storage, too. You can make the switch to Gmail or Hotmail easily with TrueSwitch as long as your ISP is supported. Programs like Outlook and the free Thunderbird can help you switch, too.

Book Review: How I Discovered World War II's Greatest Spy 102
|How I Discovered World War IIs Greatest Spy and Other Stories of Intelligence and Code
|David Kahn
|Auerbach Publications
|Ben Rothke
|Very good collection of a large number of excellent articles from David Kahn
The book gets its title from a 2007 article in which Kahn tracked down whom he felt was the greatest spy of World War 2. That was none other than Hans-Thilo Schmidt, who sold information about the Enigma cipher machine to the French. That information made its way to Marian Rejewski of Poland, which lead to the ability of the Polish military to read many Enigma-enciphered communications.
An interesting question Kahn deals with is the old conspiracy theory that President Franklin Roosevelt and many in is administration knew about the impending attack on Pearl Harbor. He writes that the theory is flawed for numerous reasons. Kahn notes that the attack on Pearl Harbor succeeded because of Japan's total secrecy about the attack. Even the Japanese ambassador's in Washington, D.C., whose messages the US was reading were never told of the attack.
Chapter 4 from 1984 is particularly interesting which deals with how the US viewed Germany and Japan in 1941. Kahn writes that part of the reason the US did not anticipate a Japanese attack was due to racist attitudes. The book notes that many Americans viewed the Japanese as a bucktoothed and bespectacled nation.
Chapter 10 Why Germany's intelligence failed in World War II, is one of the most interesting chapters in the book. It is from Kahn's 1978 book Hitlers Spies: German Military Intelligence In World War II.
In the Allies vs. the Axis, the Allies were far from perfect. Battles at Norway, Arnhem and the Bulge were met with huge losses. But overall, the Allies enjoyed significant success in their intelligence, much of it due to their superiority in verbal intelligence because of their far better code-breaking. Kahn writes that the Germans in contrast, were glaringly inferior.
Kahn writes that there were five basic factors that led to the failure of the Germans, namely: unjustified arrogance, which caused them to lose touch with reality; aggression, which led to a neglect of intelligence; a power struggle within the officer corps, which made many generals hostile to intelligence; the authority structure of the Nazi state, which gravely impaired its intelligence, and anti-Semitism, which deprived German intelligence of many brains.
The Germans negative attitude towards intelligence went all the way back to World War I, when in 1914 the German Army was so certain of success that many units left their intelligence officers behind. Jump to 1941 and Hitler invaded Russia with no real intelligence preparation. This arrogance, which broke Germany's contact with reality, also prevented intelligence from seeking to resume that contact.
Other interesting stories in the book include how the US spied on the Vatican in WW2, the great spy capers between the US and Soviets, and more.
For those that want a broad overview of the recent history of cryptography, spying and military intelligence, How I Discovered World War IIs Greatest Spy and Other Stories of Intelligence and Code, is an enjoyable, albeit somewhat disjointed summary of the topic.
The best part of the book is its broad scope. With topics from Edward Bell and his Zimmermann Telegram memoranda, cryptology and the origins of spread spectrum, to Nothing Sacred: The Allied Solution of Vatican Codes in World War II and a historical theory of intelligence, the book provides a macro view of the subject. The down side is that this comes at the cost of the 30 chapters being from almost as many different books and articles, over the course of almost 40 years.
For those that are avid readers of David Kahn, of which there are many, this title will not be anything new. For those that have read some of Kahn's other works and are looking for more, How I Discovered World War IIs Greatest Spy will be an enjoyable read.

So the first thing is to get a idea on what kind of head piece the bride wants.... You can buy premade bridal veiling at most craft stores... or buy bridal veiling by the yard.... I did a rolled surged edge on the veiling and added some pearls. Look online for veils to get ideas on what the bride likes and go from there

...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.

why are there rumors of trading bailey? Sure his trade value could certainly bolster the offense but that will put a gaping hole in our rotation. If anything chapman is the pitcher to trade for an upgrade on offense.
Rockies thinking about Cespedes. If on the block maybe the Reds could enter the bidding. RH slugging OF

Joel Sherman thinks the Reds might be one of the teams interested in Price.Joel Sherman of the New York Post reached out to nine baseball executives yesterday to ask if they felt David Price would get moved this winter and they all said yes. Price, like Matt Garza and James Shields when they were dealt from Tampa Bay, is two years away from free agency, meaning that this is the time to move him. The Rangers came up most often as the most likely destination followed by the Cubs, Diamondbacks, Padres, Red Sox, Giants, and Reds.
Price would be great to have but landing him would probably take every bit of available trading chips we have (and probably Robert Stephenson and Leake+) to acquire. We also wouldn't have much to spare to improve the offense. Probably looking at a lot of low-scoring one run games.
I think a straight up deal of Price for Chapman makes sense. Rays get one more year of a top of the rotation arm, who might not be ready for that in 2014, and the Reds get a true #1 for 2014 and 2015, plus a top draft pick when he leaves. Reds might have to add something else, but not that much.
I just don't get why people are so set on adding pitching. Did you guys not watch the same offense that
I did this season? I've see Jurickson Profar's name come up. If it were me I'd much rather target Xander Bogaerts
than Profar. I'm not sure if Boston would be willing to give him up, but I'd do trade Chapman for a package that
would revolve around Bogaerts.

I don't understand why so many are eager to trade Homer. Is it because he's got the most value to net a nice return or something else? I love where Homer's development has taken him, and I'm not eager to start ditching strong starting pitching.
Rounding third and heading for home...

My Mom gave me this clarinet. It was given to her by a man who used it in the "Halle Orchestra" I don't know exactly how old it is, but it seems very old. I can't find very much info on the maker, but i know its English. The markings on it read "J.B. Albert Bruxelles". "J.B.A. / AINE". toward the bottom it also says "Brevette"
The mouth piece is a little different. It reads "G. Howarth & Sons 73 York Street Bryonston S03" ???

Finally some good news for parents who smoke: they may now be able to get help quitting from an unlikely source, their child's doctor. A study in the journal Pediatrics, which has been posted online, shows that it is feasible for pediatric practices to incorporate into their normal routine efforts to inform patients' parents about services available to help them quit smoking. A research team led by MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHfC) physicians describes how practices implementing a program through which parents who smoke receive assistance in quitting reached nearly half the smoking parents, while a control group not using the program helped only a few parents.
"We showed that it's possible to change traditional pediatric practice to address something new, helping our patients' parents get the help they need to quit smoking," says Jonathan Winickoff, MD, MPH, of the Center for Child & Adolescent Health Research and Policy at MGHfC, who led the study. "We started developing this program more than a decade ago and worked to make it easy to implement in practices across the country. It all came down to finding out what parents want to help them quit and then giving it to them."
Smoking exposes both parents and their children to significant health risks, the authors write, and many parents who smoke have limited access to medical services. In fact, studies have shown that many are more likely to see a physician in the context of care for their children than for their own health needs. Winickoff and his colleagues previously found that offering parents of pediatric patients the opportunity to participate in a smoking cessation program produced significant benefits. But since those studies were conducted at an academic medical center and carried out by specially-trained research staff, it was not clear if such a program would be practical at practices around the country.
Winickoff and his colleague adapted the program used in the earlier study into the Clinical Effort Against Secondhand Smoke Exposure (CEASE) system and designed the current study to test the implementation of CEASE at outpatient practices in the Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) network of the American Academy of Pediatrics. They enrolled 20 practices representing all regions of the country, which were randomly assigned to either intervention or control groups in such a way that factors such as the percentage of patients' parents who smoked were equally represented.
In the intervention group, pediatricians and other practice staff were trained to implement the CEASE system, which includes routinely asking parents about their smoking, encouraging smoking cessation in a way that incorporates parents' concerns about their own health and that of their children, recommendation and possible provision of nicotine replacement gum or patches, and referral to state-run quitlines. Control practices continued to operate as they had done previously.
Around 8,600 parents at the intervention practices and 10,000 at the control practices completed the initial survey, and 999 smokers at intervention practices and 981 at control practices enrolled in the study. At intervention practices, an average of 42.5 percent of smoking parents reported receiving some sort of tobacco control assistance, compared to 3.5 percent at control practices. More than 75 percent of physicians at intervention practices offered smoking cessation assistance to parents, while only 14 percent of physicians at the control practices did so. n

Ask Slashdot: Intelligently Moving From IT Into Management? 125
My fellow board members have decided that I need to detach myself from the day to day IT operations and take over more management duties; in particular in the finance and budgeting end of things. Right now I'm in the process of interviewing a new IT system administrator who will, over time, take on most of my IT roles. However, since this has been a one-man shop for seven years; namely my shop, I confess some reservations about handing over the keys and moving permanently up to the top floor.
Does anybody have any suggestions on the level of permissions for servers, networks and infrastructure I should start with? Do I, for the moment, retain some of the critical functionality; like superuser passwords, and slowly move the new system administrator into his or her role, or do I move more quickly, give him the basics and then let him fly on his own?"

Conservative religious lawmakers in Afghanistan blocked legislation on Saturday aimed at strengthening provisions for women's freedoms, arguing that parts of it violate Islamic principles and encourage disobedience.
The fierce opposition highlights how tenuous women's rights remain a dozen years after the ouster of the Taliban regime, whose strict interpretation of Islam once kept Afghan women virtual prisoners in their homes.
Khalil Ahmad Shaheedzada, a conservative lawmaker for Herat Province, said the legislation was withdrawn shortly after being introduced in parliament because of an uproar by religious parties who said parts of the law are un-Islamic.
"Whatever is against Islamic law, we don't even need to speak about it," Shaheedzada said.
The Law on Elimination of Violence Against Women has been in effect since 2009, but only by presidential decree. It is being brought before parliament now because lawmaker Fawzia Kofi, a women's rights activist, wants to cement it with a parliamentary vote to prevent its potential reversal by any future president.
The law criminalizes, among other things, child marriage and forced marriage, and bans baad, the traditional practice of exchanging girls and women to settle disputes. It makes domestic violence a crime punishable by up to three years in prison and specifies that rape victims should not face criminal charges for fornication or adultery.
Kofi, who plans to run for president next year, said she was disappointed because among those who opposed upgrading the law are women.
Afghanistan's parliament has more than 60 female lawmakers, mostly due to constitutional provisions reserving certain seats for women.
Enforcement of the law as it stands has been patchy. A UN analysis in late 2011 found only a small percentage of reported crimes against women were pursued by the Afghan government. Between March 2010 and March 2011 — the first full year the decree was in effect — prosecutors filed criminal charges in only 155 cases, or 7 percent of the total number of crimes reported.
The child marriage ban and the idea of protecting female rape victims from prosecution were particularly heated subjects in Saturday's parliamentary debate, said Nasirullah Sadiqizada Neli, a conservative lawmaker from Daykundi Province.
Neli suggested that removing the custom of prosecuting raped women for adultery would lead to social chaos, with women freely engaging in extramarital sex safe in the knowledge they could claim rape if caught.
Another lawmaker, Mandavi Abdul Rahmani of Barlkh Province, said the Koran also makes clear that a husband has a right to beat a disobedient wife as a last resort, as long as she is not permanently harmed.
"But in this law," he said, "It says if a man beats his wife at all, he should be jailed for three months to three years."
While in power, the Taliban imposed a strict interpretation of Islam that put severe curbs on the freedom of women.
For five years, the regime banned women from working and going to school, or even leaving home without a male relative. In public, all women were forced wear a head-to-toe burqa, which covers even the face with a mesh panel. Violators were publicly flogged or executed. Since the US-led invasion in 2001, women's freedoms have improved vastly, but Afghanistan remains a deeply conservative culture.
Saturday's failure of the legislation in parliament reflected the power of religious parties, but changed little on the ground, since the decree is still the law of the land, however loosely enforced. Kofi said the parliament decided to send the legislation to committee, and it could come to a vote again later this year.
"We will work on this law," she said. "We will bring it back."

No Heart
Now I know most everyone in the world at that moment thought the play was over, but come on. You've still got 2 dudes sprinting down the sidelines like their lives depend on it, and there's actually still a number of linemen upfield blocking here and there. How about you play like you mean it and keep trucking until the fat lady sings. Is that too much to ask? Henne was tossing his body around like he was suicidal during the game; would it have been that much of a burden to put in 7 more seconds of effort? On the last play of the last game of the season?
It's pathetic, and it so very brilliantly sums up this team. No heart.

While it's true and disappointing that Henne gave up on the play (which as your post notes, contradicts his very gutty effort throughout the rest of the game), it's unfair to say that the team can be summed up by the phrase, "No Heart."
As you point out, there were many players showing great heart during this final play. It is no surprise that Breaston and Hart were among the most conspicuous never-say-die guys. They play hurt and are constantly fighting for extra yards. Ecker also showed tremendous effort, and though his failure to hand the ball to Breaston was obviously a huge mistake, I will not fault him at all for this loss. He never stopped trying to win amidst almost unimaginable chaos and confusion.
Of the many interrelated reasons this team had such a dismal season (to name a few: tentative approach, injuries, lack of senior leadership, playing other teams which also have very good players), lack of heart is way down the list.

Although it may have been a WR you see around the 40, it also might have been Leon Hall who is just standing on the field, though closer to the 25. Why is a DB on the field when the offense has the ball you ask? Well only Leon Hall can answer that one. Maybe after making his two INTs in the first half he really worked up a sweat and needed a shower bad. If he's going to be on the field illegally, the least he could do is throw a block. There's no way those refs would have figured out that he shouldn't have been on the field.

A local company held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday to mark the opening of its new Schriever facility to handle defense work for the U.S. Navy and other government entities.
A local company held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday to mark the opening of its new Schriever facility to handle defense work for the U.S. Navy and other government entities.
Flow Line Valve and Controls' building at 110 Main Project Road known as Flow Line Defense will generate butterfly valves for Navy vessels under strict standards and specifications, said Drew Boquet, Flow Line president and owner.
"We're committed from the Navy to build a special building for them, special manufacturing, special personnel. Everything is built around them," Boquet said. "When you are working with the U.S. Navy you have to have the highest standards."
U.S. Sen Mary Landrieu was joined by Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne and other local officials at Friday's ceremony.
"He's so excited and passionate about growing his business in his home town," Landrieu said of Boquet.
Flow Line employs 30 people and plans to hire 10 more employees locally by the end of 2015. The company has grown an average of five to six employees in recent years with sales increasing up to 40 percent annually, company officials said.
"I started a company here in Houma because I thought maybe a manufacturing company like this would do well here for manufacturing that isn't oilfield based," Boquet said. "Everything in Houma, Louisiana, is oilfield. That's it, oilfield and marine. If you don't do oilfield or marine you are out of business. I'm here to tell you that you can do other business that isn't oilfield or marine."
The company sells its valves throughout the U.S. and internationally, with about 5 percent of its business being in Louisiana.
"My company runs out of pocket and is competing against $10 billion corporations with all their manpower and horse power," Boquet said.
"The biggest thing about Flow Line is we aren't dependent on local industry," he added. "We are a true manufacturer on a worldwide scope. We may be a small manufacturer today, but we are growing and we have a market vision. We also have a work ethic that it can be done and we can go to other places."
Dardenne noted the company's success.
"This is an impressive home-grown facility that literally is putting together a product that is distributed around the world," he said. "These are the types of jobs you want to see develop in Louisiana. This company is able to hire people in the area with high-paying jobs, creating products that are recognized by the U.S. Navy and companies all over the world. It's a wonderful Louisiana success story that has been at it for a couple of decades and now is in a position to build a free-standing facility just for the work they are doing with the U.S. Navy. So you have to be very proud of a business like this."
Flow Line, which started in 1999, makes valves for pharmaceutical, industrial, automotive, food and beverage, entertainment, water filtration, oil and gas, chemical plant and ship-building companies.
Its customers include Kellogg's and Post cereals, Bristol Myers, Bayer, Honda, Nissan and Tyson Foods.
Landrieu said she is proud of what Flow Line and Boquet have done locally.
"Drew Boquet needs to be commended and congratulated for his enthusiasm about starting local, staying local, and building big, and that's what he is doing at Flow Line," Landrieu said. "This is a really extraordinary, young, but fast-growing manufacturing company that is exporting product to our country and the world. He's not interested in going to Dallas, Houston or Atlanta because he's interested in staying here at home. God Bless him and we need more people like him."

Sabbyfrog, I know this was not your intention, but your whole post made me want to cry. That was so sad to read, I can well imagine why you don't feel like emulating it every Holiday. (((Sabby)))
Dr. Manners, you've got good parents!
Dr_Manners, I'm sure the OP would have loved to have had parents like yours.
[Dr. Manners - You have fantastic parents.

That was so sad to read, I can well imagine why you don't feel like emulating it every Holiday. (((Sabby)))I'm sorry. That certainly wasn't my intention and I didn't realize how bad it must sound until I went back and re-read it. The thing is, I don't think any of it was intentional (aside from the abuse but that wasn't necessarily Holiday related). It was sort of just how they did things. Both sides of the family were very very set in their ways and also pretty lazy. I became their free laborer while on "holiday" and trust me, the resentment I felt for YEARS after that still burns. It was always just the way our family operated. The older kids were expected to take care of the little ones and as I was the oldest, the expectation was on me. And as I got older, the expectation was that I was to help elsewhere. There was no arguing back either because we were all raised never to question an adult. I think the step family just didn't know what to do with me. After I "aged out" of the kid stuff, (Yes. I was specifically told I wasn't getting gifts because those are "for the kids." I was sorta on my own. My mom and step-dad started living together when I was 16 but didn't marry until I was 19 so we were never really close to begin with and I'd started living on my own at 17 anyway. But still had to attend these "family functions" and since they had to place me somewhere, I ended up at the "undesirables" table. Not because I was undesirable, but they genuinely didn't know what to do with me. By then though, I was already so jaded that my goal was just to eat and get out of there as quickly as possible. So, it wasn't malicious, just really thoughtless. I guess I never really thought about how all of that is very likely the reason I don't get very sentimental or have any "traditions" at the Holidays until now... Holiday's became a chore for me, not a time to be excited, hence why I likely have such a dreadful feeling of "obligation" when they come around. I don't know if that makes it worse or better...

Julian Cusack07 February 2012
The ramifications of the Eurozone debt crisis are far reaching. Throughout Europe's economies, austerity measures are having a direct impact and undermining economic growth forecasts that were already fragile.
Repercussions of low growth – or no growth – and a financial system with a Central Bank that has yet to prove it has the necessary efficacy are likely to be tough.
The effects of the crisis are particularly acute in Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Italy where, the European Commission has estimated, public debt as a percentage of GDP is greater than 100%.
Within financial services, banking is not the only sector to be impacted. The sovereign debt crisis has consequences for the insurance industry too.
In various ways, insurers and reinsurers are financially sensitive to the euro's continuing uncertainty, and to the wider impact of a depressed world economy. This sensitivity must be managed or reduced to limit exposures and losses, and ultimately to protect the solvency of insurance companies' balance sheets.
The impact of the Eurozone crisis is likely to be felt by (re)insurers on both the asset side, and the liabilities side.
A (re)insurance company's exposure to the crisis will be influenced heavily by its business mix and its domicile. Aspen itself has a relatively modest exposure to Eurozone investments, and Aspen's sovereign debt holdings within the Eurozone are limited to the stronger participants, including France and Germany.
Insurers with exposure to debt issued by Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain (GIIPS) continue to face the greatest risk – a fact reflected in the borrowing costs faced by these economies (see chart).
But, as the recent downgrading by Standard & Poor's of various Eurozone countries illustrates, the definition of 'risk-free' is ever-changing. Two further sovereign issuers have joined Greece in the category of 'junk bond' status and investors continue to be concerned about possible contagion effects into other markets.
It is also important to remember that insurers may also be indirectly exposed to sovereign debt through their holdings in European banks, themselves large lenders to national governments. Aspen's own exposure to debt issued by core Eurozone banks is limited to existing holdings which cover European (re)insurance liabilities, and we currently adopt a policy against further investment in these instruments.
The Eurozone crisis is also likely to have an impact on the liabilities' side of the balance sheet.
A key example is directors' and officers' (D&O) insurance. Many insurers provide cover to banks and other financial institutions in respect of their D&O liabilities and fidelity risks. When banks' balance-sheets come under pressure, it may be reflected in the market value of shares or bonds issued by the bank concerned. This may, in turn, create a trigger for action to be taken against their directors and officers.
Despite a number of unresolved suits against banks arising from the first beginnings of the financial crisis in 2007/2008, there is still capacity in the market for these risks – with insured parties generally being able to renew at similar rates to expiring cover.
'Austerity measures are having a direct impact and undermining economic growth forecasts that were already fragile'
'Austerity measures are having a direct impact and undermining economic growth forecasts that were already fragile'
Aspen's position is currently not to renew any D&O cover for banks in the Eurozone. For the time being, the rates achievable in the market do not adequately reflect the risks presented.
Besides D&O cover, those providing trade credit insurance may also be affected by the Eurozone crisis. This form of insurance cover protects sellers of goods trading on short term open account payment terms against default by the buyer.
Given the threat of economic recession, credit insurers are carefully assessing their exposure, both in terms of quantity and quality. Reinsurers, too, will need to ensure that exposures are being proactively managed. In practice, the way credit insurance is structured means that providers are typically able to re-engineer their exposures at short notice.
A third area potentially impacted by the current crisis is the insurance of cross-border secured financing arrangements – a form of cover typically purchased by banks. In particular, the valuation of the underlying assets, against which loans are secured, needs to be kept under regular review. Many political risk insurers are also involved in this area, and will be considering how to manage their direct, or potential indirect, contagion risk from the Eurozone debt crisis.
While the insurance industry emerged relatively unscathed from the 2007/2008 financial crisis, this is no reason for complacency. Conventional wisdom is that the industry would be able to survive a sovereign debt default by Greece, Ireland or Portugal – the so-called 'peripheral' countries. The greater concern focuses on the effects of a more significant sovereign default, for example Italy or Spain.
While political leaders continue to seek a solution, the industry has little choice but to play a difficult waiting game and be prepared to anticipate change. Continual monitoring of exposures on the asset and liability sides of the balance sheet remains crucial, along with further de-risking where prudent and appropriate.

KNOXVILLE - Heading into Tuesday night's Southeastern Conference road test at Tennessee, LSU basketball coach Johnny Jones liked what he saw on the stat sheets.
In conference games only, his Tigers were leading the league in 3-point defense. The Volunteers, on the other hand, were dead-last among the SEC's 14 schools in 3-pointers made.
But they don't play college basketball games on spreadsheets. They play them in glistening arenas such as UT's Thompson-Boling, where the Vols shocked both the Tigers and their calculating coach by hitting 10 of 15 triples -- including all six launched by junior guard Jordan McRae -- in a 82-72 UT win.
"We need to take another look at that stat sheet, make sure it's right," Jones said afterward with a thin smile.
The NCAA Selection Committee may soon need to start taking another look at Cuonzo Martin's Vols, who've now won four straight league games by an average of 14.3 points.
Not that Martin seemed overwhelmed by his team's latest win, or McRae's career-high 34 points.
"We're playing good basketball," he said. "But we still have work to do."
Now 15-10 overall and 7-6 within the league, the Vols are still a long way from climbing inside the NCAA tournament bubble. But they're also well aware of that, which should serve them well in their final five regular-season league games, beginning this Saturday at Texas A&M and continuing next Tuesday at home against No. 5 Florida.
"We have to continue to stay humble," said point guard Trae Golden, who masterfully backed his classmate McRae with 20 points and eight assists. "A little over a week ago we were 3-6 [in SEC play]."
But that was before Golden bounced back from a strained right hamstring and center Jarnell Stokes began to play like the prep All-American he was -- and McRae rediscovered his shooting touch from afar, which had dipped below 30 percent before the LSU game, a stat painfully pointed out by Jones.
"We tried everything," LSU point guard Anthony Hickey said. "We pressed. We trapped. We'd run at them. And then [McRae] would hit another 3. He was the man tonight."
But what's most helping the Vols may be that it's becoming a different man every night. Golden poured in 24 against Kentucky last Saturday, and senior reserve Kenny Hall added 12. Stokes dropped through 17 points and 10 rebounds against Vanderbilt, his sixth straight double-double at that point.
"We're talking more," said McRae, who should be named the Rubberband Man for his ability to contort his body in whatever shape necessary to hit shots. "We're more, well, brothers."
Maybe it should have happened sooner, this four-guard lineup that Martin first installed last week against Vanderbilt -- the lineup that has poured in at least 40 points in the opening halves of the Vols' last three games.
Maybe the brotherhood was late to develop, slowed by the unexpected redshirt-due-to-injury of forward Jeronne Maymon, who would have been the team leader.
Without Maymon, Stokes was too quickly expected to shoulder the load. Without Maymon, roles had to be redefined, but not until January, because until then much hope remained that the powerful post player's knee would heal.
So they slogged through January and the beginning of February bumping into one another's roles, Golden's hurt hammy only lengthening the growing pains.
But then Martin went with four fine athletes around one superb post player, and everything changed.
"You'd rather win them all," McRae said. "But I'd rather lose early than late."
Just don't expect him to have stayed up late catching his individual highlights on "SportsCenter."
Said McRae of his reasoning for skipping ESPN replays of his contorted drives and carefree triples: "I've got a lab test tomorrow."
But the coach who may have relied too much on the science of statistics wasn't about to pull back on his praise of the Big Orange.
Said LSU's Jones: "They're probably playing as well as anybody in the league right now."
If it continues, it will be up to the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee to determine whether the Vols were better served by losing early rather than late.

Hiro's welcome: A's introduce popular Nakajima
New Oakland shortstop a hit in first American news conference
By Rick Eymer /12/18/12 7:00 PM ET
OAKLAND -- Hiroyuki Nakajima wants to be able to perform the "Bernie Dance" made popular by the Oakland Athletics during their run to the AL West title in 2012.
Nakajima made an impression on the gathered crowd at his introductory news conference Tuesday at the Coliseum after making two prepared statements in English, one at the beginning and one in closing.
In between, the new Oakland shortstop was just as amicable answering questions after signing a two-year contract, with a club option for a third year, with the A's earlier in the day.
Nakajima opened with this statement:
"Hi Oakland, my name is Hiroyuki Nakajima, but you can call me Hiro. I am honored to be here today. Thank you very much, Mr. Beane."
Nakajima acknowledged while sitting alongside general manager Billy Beane that he spent the previous 24 hours memorizing his opening dialogue to the point he was "getting nervous, even in my dreams."
He closed the news conference by saying, in English, "I will do my best for the team, but I also want to do the 'Bernie Dance' with Oakland."
The A's signed the 11-year Japan League veteran to fill a void at shortstop. He turned down the New York Yankees last year because he would have been asked to play elsewhere.
"When we finished the season, we knew we didn't need to make many changes," Beane said. "One area we knew we had to replace was shortstop. This is a gentleman we have been watching for a couple of years."
The 30-year-old Nakajima became the second big free-agent signing in as many years for Oakland, which signed Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes last season.
Nakajima is an eight-time Japanese All-Star and a three-time Gold Glove winner.
"Earlier in my career in Japan, I thought of myself as an offensive player," Nakajima said through an interpreter. "The past couple of years, I have put a priority on my defense skills. At this point, I feel like I am balanced. I love playing defense."
Cliff Pennington, now with the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Stephen Drew, who signed with the Red Sox, played the majority of time at shortstop for the A's last year. Pennington moved to second when Oakland acquired Drew, which forced Jemile Weeks out of the lineup.
Nakajima said the reputation of the A's team chemistry was a factor in his signing.
"I heard a lot about it," he said. "Part of the reason they made it to the postseason was team chemistry, youth and energy. I'm fascinated and excited to be part of that."
Nakajima leaves the Japanese League with a career .302 batting average, 738 RBIs and 162 home runs. He's driven in 90 or more runs four times and hit 20 or more homers four times.
He appeared in both the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2009 World Baseball Classic for Japan, though he decided not to participate in the Classic this year.
"I want to get to Oakland's camp as soon as possible," Nakajima said. "It was a tough decision to make, but I will not be participating in the World Classic."
Nakajima said he tried to reach out to every Japanese player in the Major Leagues seeking advice and council. He said he received responses from Ichiro Suzuki and former Seibu Lions teammate Kazuo Matsui.
Matsui, who spent seven years in the Majors with the New York Mets, Colorado Rockies and Houston Astros, played with Nakajima in 2002-03.
"Everything will be new to me," Nakajima said. "I am confident in my skills and I can adapt to any surface. I want to stick with the basics and learn as I go."
Nakajima joked about Beane, calling him "sexy and cool" and a reason he wanted to come to Oakland. He also made a reference to the lack of bathtubs in America.
"That is a challenge I will have to face," Nakajima said.
He'll fit in just fine with the still youthful and exuberant A's.

Film director Tony Scott, who died over the weekend, wanted to direct the movie based on the Gears of War franchise. Former New Line Cinema producer Jeff Katz revealed the deceased filmmaker's wishes, and compared the potential of the project to the sci-fi films of Tony's brother, Ridley Scott.
"When we acquired Gears of War at New Line, he badly wanted to direct," Katz tweeted (via GameSpot). "Chased it hard. It didn't work out, but I always loved the idea of seeing him play in that sort of Ridley-adjacent space, which he'd really avoided. I'll always wish it happened."
Epic design director Cliff Bleszinski confirmed Katz's account of the director's passion. "He had a visdeo presentation and everything," Bleszinski tweeted. "He told stories about filming Man on Fire in Mexico." The Gears of War movie is currently in limbo, after being scaled back in 2010.
Tony Scott was known for directing Top Gun, Crimson Tide, Man on Fire, and most recently Unstoppable.

Construct Validation of the English Language Teaching Reflective Inventory with a Sample of Turkish University EFL Instructors
Although Reflective Practice is a popular approach to teacher education, there have been some recent criticisms regarding its effectiveness in students learning. Some researchers have put this down to the fact that the concept has not been operationalised, and it is thus impossible to set up empirical studies. The current study was conducted to examine the construct validity in a Turkish higher education context of a recent inventory which was designed to measure the reflective practice of teachers of English as a Foreign Language. The sample was a group of instructors (n=173) working on the English language preparatory programs of four state-run universities in Turkey. The original model suggested six factors: cognitive, meta-cognitive, critical, practical, affective and moral. The factor structure of the instrument was examined using exploratory factor analysis with SPSS 13.0, and confirmatory factor analysis with AMOS 16.0. The results of the current study showed similarity with those of the original study. Specifically, the cognitive, meta-cognitive and critical factors remained largely intact, and the affective and moral factors were not validated. However, the practical factor was reduced from 7 to 3 items. The implications of the findings are discussed.

SPRINGFIELD – For the sixth straight year, Sauk Valley Media has received a statewide award for promoting the public's right to know.
That award was among 25 honors – including four first places – the staff of the Telegraph and Daily Gazette received Friday in the Excellence in News Contest sponsored by the Illinois Press Association. The awards, the most the newspaper has ever won in the annual competition, were presented during the IPA's annual luncheon in Springfield.
Sauk Valley Media also was runner-up for the Mabel S. Shaw Memorial Trophy, a sweepstakes award based on the number of awards and placings.
First-place awards, won in competition with other Illinois newspapers of 15,000-40,000 circulation, were for:
• Feature Photo, Photo Editor Alex Paschal, "Snow in the Pines," one of five awards Paschal won
• Sports Feature, Sports Editor Dan Woessner, "Father Time"; Woessner also won a third place for Sports Column
• Headline Writing, Managing Editor Jeff Rogers
• Local Editorial, Opinion Page Editor Jim Dunn, for a series of editorials on the Rita Crundwell case
A group of editorials on open government also won an honorable mention for Dunn for Promotion of the Public's Right to Know, bringing to nine the number of honors the newspaper staff has won in that category over the past 6 years.
The staff received two awards for Community Service: a second place for a series on concussions suffered by high school athletes, and an honorable mention for the "Caught in the Middle" and "Boomtown" forums that SVM sponsored.
"These awards are great recognition for some outstanding work the staff has done over the past year," said Larry Lough, executive editor. "Although we might be the smallest newspaper competing in this contest class, we still compete very well in virtually every category."
The newspaper staff placed third in General Excellence based on overall performance, and three individual sections were honored separately:
• Editorial Page, second place
• Lifestyles Section, second place
• Sports Section, third place
The staff won three other second-place awards, six other thirds and three other honorable mentions. They were:
Second Place
• Original Column, Lough
• Enterprise/Feature Writing, Jenny Young, "Young Mother's Cancer Returns"
• Sports Photo, Paschal, Moms Comfort (Alex Paschal)
Third Place
• Best Investigative Reporting, reporter David Giuliani, "Politics in office of state's attorney?"

Long-term medical survey system (LTMS), phase B
This activity was approved by the Aurora Board of Participants within the Work Plan 2005-2006 and should be initiated by the end of 2005.
To prepare for a human mission to Mars, it is essential to learn more on the physiology and psychology of human beings when subjected to confinement and extreme environments.
The winter-over crews that will stay about eight months at the Concordia Station (Antarctica) for performing maintenance and scientific work offer a suitable analogue situation to what could be an exploration stay on Mars. Collecting physiological and psychological data will provide extremely valuable information on not only adaptation to extreme environments but also on how to select the best psycho-physiological profiles.
To support that activity, ESA has decided to team up with the Concordia partners in order to study the behaviour and medical parameters of the Concordia crew. Under that agreement, ESA will supply and support a system used to monitor the life and well-being (fitness) parameters of the Concordia Station crews. The data will be available for the medical doctor on site, and recorded data will be transferred to Europe for further processing by scientists.
A competitive study has already been placed for a definition phase of the LTMS system (sensors, data processing and archiving). It is essential to supply all the Concordia winter-over crews with a LTMS system for them to record a set of physiological (and later on psycho-physiological) data. Ideally a prototype should be shipped to the Station end 2005 for refinement of protocols and data transmission check out. The present activity is dedicated to the detailed design study and realization of the prototypes of the operational LTMS system.
Based on the outcome of the definition phase study, the aim of the activity is to perform a phase B study with realisation of a fully functional prototype of the LTMS including sensors, data processing software, hardware and data management system (database).
The prototype is intended to be used on human beings, to test the wireless data transmission and demonstrate it can operate for two subjects at the same time. As the prototype will be used on human beings, it is foreseen to have it fully safety-tested according to the applicable medical standards.
The prototypes should be highly representative of the final version of the LTMS and should also demonstrate all the data processing capabilities, such as extraction of parameters, MMI capabilities and instant access to non-nominal data.
The LTMS prototypes will have to undergo safety assessment to clear them for use on humans. Later the prototypes will be validated by experts for all physiological parameters. After validation, it is intended to test the LTMS prototypes operationally in situ at Concordia, in order to collect additional data for further optimisation and prepare for the operational LTMS systems.
Note: The priority for development is the LTMS sensors, hardware and data processing software. Depending on the effort actually required to build those, the development of the data management system the database may be scaled down but a system for safely saving, retrieving, distributing and reprocessing the data will be developed.
