State of Texas in danger of being shut out of men's NCAA Tournament; What's the problem?
The men's NCAA Tournament bracket will be unveiled March 17, but barring surprises over the next three weeks, Texas programs will barely crack the 68-team invite list.
Texas could even be — gasp! — shut out of college basketball's wildest soiree.
This is a sub-par season in the state, with no teams ranked among the Top 25 and only Baylor and Stephen F. Austin appearing to have decent or better chances to make the tournament out of 21 Division I teams.
Still, Baylor (16-10, 7-6) is rutted in the middle of the Big 12 standings and closes with a difficult schedule. The Lumberjacks are 22-3, 13-2, but will likely have to win the Southland Conference tournament to ensure a spot. It's possible other Texas teams could sneak up and win their league tournaments, grabbing automatic bids.
"It's totally cyclical; it's rare," Fran Fraschilla, an ESPN analyst and former college coach who lives in Highland Park, said of the slump. "Programs are in a down cycle at the moment. It's just a confluence of events … it's going to pick up."
Coaches and experts say the weak year can be attributed to several new coaches overhauling programs and rare struggles at the state's traditional powers, such as the University of Texas. Texas teams have also had mixed recruiting results — with some of the state's top recruits crossing state lines and others who stayed leaving for the NBA after a season or two.
If no Texas programs made the NCAA Tournament, it would be the first time since 1977, when only 32 teams made the field.
Since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985, Texas has always been represented, averaging 2.9 teams per year, up to 3.7 over the last 10 seasons.
It was only three seasons ago, in 2010, when Texas sent seven schools to the tournament in the same season, matching California's NCAA record set in 2002. Texas has twice landed five teams in the field in the same year (1988 and 2007) and holds the NCAA record for sending 23 different programs "dancing" all-time.
Previous down years came in 1991 and 2001, when only the Texas Longhorns made it.
UT's expected absence this March is conspicuous. Texas (12-14, 4-9) has made the tournament 14 straight seasons and 22 of the last 24. Its 30 total bids are the most of any school in the state.
"Obviously we're not where we usually are," said UT coach Rick Barnes, who said he wasn't sure how to answer a question about the state's woes. "In this state, we've had our share of teams in the tournament. Some days it's there, some days its not."
Texas A&M (16-10, 6-7 Southeastern Conference) ended an 18-year NCAA drought when it earned its way in from 2006-11 under coaches Billy Gillispie and Mark Turgeon. Now, under second-year coach Billy Kennedy, A&M is up and down in its debut SEC season and could be left out for the second year in a row.
"Both Texas and our program are rebuilding," Kennedy said. "Texas is playing a lot of young guys, and we're in the same situation where we have a whole new team … It's transition."
Hard times
Texas Tech, North Texas, TCU and SMU all have new coaches. Tech (9-15, 2-11 Big 12), led by interim coach Chris Walker after a messy stint under Gillispie, hasn't made the tournament since 2007, under Bob Knight. Tony Benford took over at UNT (11-18, 6-12 Sun Belt). Trent Johnson is guiding TCU (10-16, 1-12) through its Big 12 intro. Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown is rehabbing SMU (13-13, 3-8 Conference USA). UNT last made the tournament in 2010, TCU in 1998 and SMU in 1993.
UT-Arlington, which made its only tourney appearance in 2008, is 15-9 and 8-5 in the WAC. Texas Southern is 12-2 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference but is serving an NCAA postseason ban.
Elsewhere, Rice, Houston and UTEP are average or worse. Lamar made the tournament last season under Pat Knight but is 3-23.
Stephen F. Austin, which made its lone tournament appearance in 2009, is thriving under 12th-year coach Danny Kaspar but will have to beat out Northwestern State (19-6, 13-2) for the Southland's automatic bid.
Texas produces a good amount of talent, according to Fraschilla and Mike Kunstadt, a longtime promoter of recruiting events and publisher of TexasHoops.com.
Many of the state's top players from the 2012 recruiting class stuck around — including Baylor's Isaiah Austin (Arlington Grace Prep), Texas' Cameron Ridley (Fort Bend Bush) and A&M's J'Mychal Reese (Bryan).
"Each year, someone will be ranked No. 1 in the class and No. 20," said Baylor coach Scott Drew. "How they pan out will be different … Usually the better the class and the better job we do keeping them in state, the better all our programs are."
Austin has had a major impact at Baylor, averaging 13.4 points. But it's freshman Marcus Smart, of Flower Mound Marcus, who is considered a possible national player of the year. He plays at Oklahoma State, likely NCAA bound.
Fraschilla said nearby Big 12 schools will always have a shot at Texas recruits.
Gone early
Even when they stay in Texas, the college game may not keep them. That was the case with Baylor's Perry Jones III (Duncanville), who left for the NBA after last season with two years of eligibility left.
Among the 2013 top recruits, twins Aaron and Andrew Harrison, of Fort Bend Travis, are going to Kentucky, DeSoto's Matt Jones to Duke.
Julius Randle, of Plano Prestonwood, is ranked No. 2 nationally by Rivals.com. Kunstadt said Randle will be hard to keep in the state, but the Texas Longhorns are on his list.
If he went to UT, Kunstadt said, the Longhorns could instantly return to Top 25 status.
Recruits will always be lured by top-tier programs where basketball is king, Kunstadt said. In Texas, football "is still the No. 1 priority," he said.
Fraschilla doesn't consider the state's lack of NCAA Tournament power this season a long-term concern, but he noted it's ironic that it's occurring as North Texas prepares to host a regional at Cowboys Stadium this spring, with the Final Four coming in 2014.
No in-state program has made the Final Four since Texas in 2003. UTEP remains the only state school to win an NCAA title — in 1966.
That clearly isn't expected to change in 2013, though the magic of the tournament is that anything's possible. If teams can get in.
"Especially this year, with the NCAA Tournament so wide open," said Drew, who led Baylor to the Elite Eight in 2010 and 2012, "you just want to make sure you're a part of it so you have a chance to win it."

The china clay industry was one of many developed across Britain during the early years of the industrial revolution. Based in Cornwall and Devon, production was approaching in 1910 a million tonnes a year, 75% of which was exported to the North American and European paper industries with a smaller amount going to UK pottery factories.
http://writemark.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06 ... nwall.html
https://ore.exeter.ac.uk/repository/bit ... sequence=2.....It was mentioned earlier that in regard to party politics the region was actually leading, not copying, the rise of the British Labour movement by the end of the First World War. Underlying these developments on the electoral front was a growing confidence on the part of the trade unions in industrial areas like the Clay Country and the mining districts further west. Whatever the actual realities of the dispute, it perhaps took on added significance because of the absence of a trade union tradition in Cornwall. With the decline of the mining industry the Clay Country was "left as the isolated rump of extractive production in an otherwise de-industrialising economy".29 In these circumstances the 1913 strike provided a rare symbolic event that could define and articulate the values of the Cornish Labour movement. Although no Labour candidate actually stood in 1918, partly because the abolition of the old St Austell division meant that the Clay Country became part of the much larger seat of Penryn & Falmouth, it became the only major area in Cornwall in which the party made steady progress throughout the inter-war period. Although further research is required in order to conclude if there was a specific relationship between the strike and these subsequent developments, letters written to Acland in 1913 indicate that the strike did have a profound impact on the political culture of the time. J. F. Williams, a solicitor from Gorran Haven, remarked on 2 September that police tactics were making the strikers feel
"outcasts, with all society fighting against them":
I went round most of the clay district this afternoon in a motor. There were policemen everywhere. Te whole place had a Russian appearance. Groups of men were on the peaks of the St Austell Alps like the chamois in Cook"s pictures of Switzerland. Te district is quiet – terrorised into quiet. But the whole countryside is full of rumours;
.....this morning in our little fishing village – and we have no connection with the strikers – over 11 miles away – there was a rumour that a man and a little girl had been killed by the Welsh strike-breakers – and things were said not pleasant for a Liberal to hear ."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-22294189According to Wheal Martyn, from Cornwall's China Clay Museum in St Austell, as the strikers were running out of money they sold lots of their family treasures along with bicycles, pianos, pots and pans.
The situation came to a head when one of the strike's leaders, Howard Vincent, shot PC William Collett from Lostwithiel in the leg.
This incident shocked the strikers, who were already thinking about ending the strike.
Although they went back to work without a deal, within weeks the clay firms started to agree to the workers' demands.
Mr Costley said: "This was Cornwall's biggest strike, involving the whole community…..

Three Indian wrestlers preparing for states
In what was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the St. Stephens wrestling team, the Indians produced three state qualifiers.
Bradley Bader, Blake Rogers and Ian Martin will each vie for a state title when the NCHSAA individual state championships start Thursday.
Indians coach Billy Baker said the wrestlers worked hard this offseason to earn their postseason appearances.
"These are the lowest number of wrestlers we've had in my 13 years at St. Stephens, but the three we got state-qualified deserve to be there," Baker said. "They've all worked hard and all have big goals this season."
Rogers' season almost never happened.
The 106-pound junior injured his knee, had surgery in August and missed half of his team's regular season.
He fought back to finish 27-5 on the mat, qualifying for the state championships for the second-straight year.
The junior hopes to improve on his second-place finish a season ago.
"I had a pretty quick recovery from injury," Rogers said. "I came back in to practice, went after it real hard and made sure I took care of my knee. I got real focused. I busted myself every day to work as hard as I could. I think if I can keep myself healthy and keep the determination, I think I should do pretty good at states."
Driven by a runner-up finish of his own, 113-pound senior Bradley Bader said he's put in more effort this season than any one prior.
"My season so far has been nothing but hard work and practice," he said. "I've been focused on doing good in practice and not cutting weight, but more about getting better in the wrestling room. I've been taking that out to the mat during matches."
The hard work paid off, as Bader finished second on the team in wins (34).
It's a transformation that Baker said he never really expected to see.
"Bradley didn't start wrestling until he was in the eighth grade," Baker said. "I was doing some remodeling work on his parents' home. He had just been cut from the football team and didn't weigh but about 83 pounds. I told him that I expected to see him out for wrestling in November. Never thought I'd see him there, but he sure enough came out. Now, he's been a three-time state qualifier."
Then there is Ian Martin.
The 138-pound senior was a fourth-place finisher at states in 2011 and ended last season with a record of 48-7.
This season, he has won a team-high 49 matches, losing twice during the season.
"Ian has come a long way," Baker said. "He missed qualifying for states as a sophomore, came back and finished fourth last year. He has worked very hard."
Seeing one of his close friends claim the 138-pound title last year motivated Martin to rededicate himself for his senior campaign.
"I got to see (Hibriten's) Scottie (Hardiman), one of my friends that I wrestle with a lot, win at my weight class," Martin said. "It was depressing almost because I beat him in the regional finals. All the respect to him, but I just wished I could have seen him in the finals. That's what I want this year — to be in the finals."
The last Indian to win a state wrestling championship was Ray Farnsworth, who defeated Havelock's Christian Holleman last year in the finals of the 119-pound weight class.
All three wrestlers hope to repeat Farnsworth's success.
"I've tried to follow in his footsteps," Bader said. "I found myself in wrestling. I've always tried to wrestle like him. Now I've developed his style into my own. If it wasn't for him winning states, I wouldn't be so dedicated to win."

Creativity, innovation, technology and knowledge.
All these talents and expertise came together, along with a lot of hard work, to result in success for the Florida Fuel Cell Team from Edgewood Junior – Senior High School in Merritt Island when they competed in the International Youth Fuel Cell Competition (IYFCC) in Honolulu in November 2006. The result was a first-place finish in the Quiz Bowl and in the Fuel Car Race engineering categories and second-place finishes in the Hydrogen Timepiece (artistic) and Fuel Cell Car Race (speed).
The team also received the Ovonic Hydrogen Storage Award for the Greatest Insight into the Future of
Hydrogen Storage.
|Representing Florida at the International Youth Fuel Cell Competition was Edgewood Jr./Sr. High's (left to right) Taylor Munsey, Melissa Ingram, Michael Granatosky, Martin Moneysmith
Members of this team were students Michael Granatosky, Melissa Ingram, Martin Moneysmith and Taylor Munsey. Their instructor was Ryan Cilsick.
Their competition included 16 other high school students from Russia, India, Japan, Canada and the United States, who were chosen for their exemplary science skills and environmental stewardship. The competition included a Quiz Bowl and a Hydrogen Timepiece building event, and culminated with a Fuel Cell Car Race. Team designs were judged on knowledge, engineering skills and originality. The purpose of the competition was to highlight the growing global efforts of renewable energy education and demonstrate the importance of students to the future of this science, particularly as it relates to hydrogen fuel cells.
Several University of Central Florida/Florida Solar Energy Center faculty and staff members helped the students prepare for the competition, including Penny Hall of FSEC's K-12 education department who accompanied the students on their trip. Jim Fenton, FSEC Director, offered background information on fuel cells. Clovis Linkous, Senior Research Scientist, provided some basic but essential electro-chemistry and hydration facts about the functioning of the fuel cell that the students were using for their car and timepiece. He advised them to be aware of the state of the water necessary for the operation of the fuel cell and showed them how to "polish" the electrodes.
Others who worked with the students included James Haggard, Coordinator of Web Engineering, who provided information on the basics of fuel cell operation; William Wilson, Research Engineer, who helped the students with the gears and wheels, and Paul Yocum, Senior Engineering Technician, who helped with the electrical circuits. Clarence Beck, Machinist, helped the students develop their ideas for their car and timepiece from concept to working models. He provided consultation on blueprints and manufacturing the devices. Beck said he enjoyed doing "anything to help kids with their heads pointed in the right direction."
Ryan Cilsick, the students' teacher who has worked with these students for three years beginning in the spring of 2004 with their first Hydrogen Sprint at FSEC and who traveled with them to Honolulu to see their success in the international competition, said that the students did a great job and learned the crucial lesson that it is necessary to plan and allow time to work the plan, that it is "impossible to design today and build tomorrow" – probably the most valuable lesson they learned.
Cilsick said the opportunity for all of the youngsters to get to know students from different cultures was terrific. At the awards ceremony two girls from India did a traditional dance for the group, which really impressed the Americans. The Edgewood students learned a few words of Russian and other languages—enough that they could communicate, but there was little time for visiting with a jam-packed schedule focused on hydrogen, fuel cells, and other renewable energy sources.
The IYFCC event was supported by international leaders in the hydrogen fuel cell and renewable energy field, including: FuelCellStore.com, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, h-tec of Germany, Ovonic, Aspect Association of Russia, Moubic of Japan, Florida Solar Energy Center, Russian Federal Agency for Education, Russian Federal Agency for Science and Innovators, Moscow Power Engineering Institute, Russian National Center of Information Analysis, Hydrogenics of Canada, PixyJack Press, Students Fueling the Future, Mike Binder and Associates, UTC Power, Ingram Crane, IAP Worldwide Services, Society of Military Engineers—Space Coast Post, Canaveral Counsel of Technical Societies and Electronic Training Solutions, Inc.

When I read the Physical Activity Council's report that more people were inactive in 2011 than in 2010, I was rather disappointed. Aren't we making any headway in getting people on their feet?
The report stated that 68.2 million people aged 6 years old or older were considered inactive in 2011, meaning they did not participate in any high-calorie burning activities. That compares to 67.2 million inactive people in 2010.
Then, the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) released its report that memberships (for people 6 years old and older) at U.S. commercial health clubs increased from 50.2 million in 2010 to 51.4 million in 2011, a 2.4 percent growth. Ah, hope!
But wait. We had more inactive people in 2011 than in 2010, but we had more people belonging to a commercial health club in 2011 than in 2010? How does that happen?
I guess this could mean that while more people are inactive, those who are active were more likely to belong to a health club in 2011 than to be active on their own. The economy is showing some signs of recovery, so perhaps people are adding their club memberships back into their budgets. Maybe the low-price clubs are drawing in people whose only objection was price. Maybe people are tired of trying to become more fit on their own and are realizing they need the help that clubs can provide.
Or perhaps the survey means that more people are joining commercial clubs rather than noncommercial clubs, as the IHRSA figures did not count people who belong to YMCAs, Jewish Community Centers, university rec centers, parks and rec facilities or any other noncommercial club.
But maybe there is another explanation. The numbers in both surveys were for people 6 years old and older. As Stuart Goldman, our managing editor, pointed out: Who are these 6-year-olds, and why are they participating in online and telephone surveys about their activity levels and club memberships? And how accurate could their answers be? (OK, so the parents of these children likely responded for their kids, but still, the image of a 6-year-old answering a phone survey made me chuckle.)
What do you think accounts for the growing number of inactive people but the growing number of commercial club members?

As it says on the tin. It can be literally anyone, alive or dead, famous or not, but if you could have six people around your dinner party who would it be or why? There was a similar thread about 3K people a few years ago but I thought I'd throw the net a bit wider.
My list is:
1) Sun Ce - Well I am a Scholar of Shen Zhou after all. I presume this needs no explanation here
2) John Stott - My favourite theologian, a giant of both Anglican and Evangelical theology who I would love to hear his opinions.
3) Arsene Wenger - The manager of my favourite football/soccer team. However this manager isn't just a sport expert he speaks eight languages and is known as 'Le Professeur'
4) Bernard Cornwall - My favourite author who knows a ton about history and has had a very interesting life.
5) Sean Bean - My favourite actor, however from the stories I've read about him he is as much of a hard man as the characters he plays.
6) TBC - I've got a few people I've thought about but no-one stands out to me right now so I'm thinking I might steal someone that you guys throw out there if you can come out with a great idea!

Whether or not the stock market continues to rally, Jim Cramer recommends investors seek the protection of stocks with serious dividends. After all, if the stock market falls and the economy worsens, dividend-paying stocks will pay investors to wait until things get better.
The "Mad Money" host especially likes "accidental high-yielders" — the stocks with small payouts that wouldn't ordinarily offer high yields. Because of downward pressure in the markets, which has hurt their share prices, those yields have shot up. So now investors get more bang for their bucks.
The added benefit of owning these kinds of stocks is that the newly high yields attract new buyers, and that puts a floor in the share price. Not only do investors get to collect the payout on the way down, but they can also ride the stock higher on the way back up.
We pulled together a list of Cramer's favorite dividend plays. Read on and pick one or two for your portfolio. They could offer just the kind of defense that you need.

Winterchill, the PBS program you are refering to is called "Alone In The Wilderness", and the guy's name is Richard Proenneke. The web site is www.dickproenneke.com. I bought a DVD copy for my wife last Christmas, and she loved it! It's basicly an earlier, more primitive Field Lab, Alaska edition.

I would highly recommend against this for you and your dog!
After hearing your stories of your dog and his behavior I don't think you need to involve him in anything remotely close to this, EVER, not after training him, etc. etc.
You are too young, blow off advice when given, and don't seem to worry about the stuff that needs to be addressed, and are worried about his weightpulling and sporting instead.
I know this might sound harsh, but I told you the exact same thing on PBF, and you blew me, along with other knowledged members, off and then when you got banned from their, you made it seem like it was all their fault. I don't know who was at fault, don't care, but you have other things to be worrying about and addressing rather than looking into bitesport and weightpulling.
You are still young and have alot to learn, take your time, work on your current dog, and maybe in the future you'll be able to find a dog that is more suited to this and if you are still interested, then by all means go for it.

Pettie, what better then a dog who has a will to plz you.
Molly started to shake cause she want to get at him but remained at a dwn stay and him seeing that he backed up and left. Not because she is my dog but she will bite someone in a heart beat.

March 13, 2008
The women's spring golf season is underway for this year, but already plans are being made for next season.
One of the main reasons there is optimism about the 2008-2009 season is the signing of Mary Leigh Baker from Franklin, Tenn. Mary Leigh attends Battle Ground Academy.
Mary Leigh, 5-foot-5, has won a number of honors in golf. She was an All-State selection in 2004, 2005 and 2007. She was All-Region in 2004 and 2006. She also served as team captain in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
Her top golf memory was making a 30-foot uphill putt on the 18th hole on the last day of the State Tournament her senior year. She shot a 74 and finished third.
The BGA team was runner-up State Champion in 2004 and 2007. They were Region Champions in 2004 and Region runner-up in 2005.
Mary Leigh was also a cheerleader in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
She has also starred in the classroom serving as a member of Science National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta (Math) and the National Honor Society.
Mary Leigh plans to major in nursing. One of her goals is to participate in medical mission trips in Spanish-speaking countries.
Mary Leigh will be the third generation of her family to attend Lipscomb. One of her grandfathers played tennis for Lipscomb.
"Lipscomb has so many things that I was looking for in a college," Mary Leigh said. "There is a Christian environment, a good nursing program and fun activities."
She is the daughter of Leigh Anne and Ben Baker. She has one brother, Martin, 15.

AUBURN, Ala. (May 10, 2013) – Senior Chloe Garner (Somerset West, South Africa) and sophomore Gabriella Wahl (Heidenheim, Germany) both carded team-best rounds of 3-over-par 75, but the ETSU women's golf team lost ground in its hunt for a berth to the NCAA Championships during Friday's second round play in the NCAA East Regional at the Auburn University Club.
While the Buccaneers were consistent and did not have a player post a score higher than a 76, the team still fell back from 11th to 14th place in the 24-team field. ETSU is still the only team outside of the nation's Top 50 in the Top 15 on the leaderboard, but the Bucs are now 13 strokes back of eighth place, which is the goal in order to earn an NCAA Championship berth.
As ETSU battles to keep its 2012-13 season alive, No. 2-ranked Alabama is running away from the field for the regional title. The Crimson Tide currently stands at 22-under-par for the tournament and is 14 strokes better than second-place and No. 20-ranked Tulane.
Alabama is also dominating individually, with the top three spots on the leaderboard. Stephanie Meadow heads up that group of Tide players at 10-under-par 134 (68-66) for the tournament. Meadow entered the regional as the nation's No. 1-ranked player.
For the Buccaneers, freshman Vivienne Chin (Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia) still holds the top spot among ETSU players and is currently tied for 42nd. Meanwhile, juniors Sian Evans (Gillingham, England) and Lourdes Lopez (Cadiz, Spain) are tied for 56th, followed by Garner and Wahl in a tie for 74th.
Third and final round play is set for Saturday. Fans can watch live scoring and get complete results by visiting Golfstat.com, while ETSUBucs.com will provide a complete wrap up of each day's play.

Postgame quotes after the Revolution fell to the LA Galaxy in the 2010 season opener at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
New England Revolution Head Coach Steve Nicol
On tonight's game:
"One thing we said at halftime was that we needed to believe in what we were doing. I think the inexperience that we have manifested itself and in the first half we were timid, unsure. I think in the second half we came out for thirty minutes we had two fantastic chances which you are expected to score from. That changes the whole game. I think the last 10-12 minutes we were pushing, trying to push, taking chances and they broke in on us a couple of times. I think overall there were a lot of positives to take from the game we had two pretty good chances and we are disappointed we did not take one."
Revolution Defender Seth Sinovic
On making his first start as a pro:
"Obviously we're a little disappointed with the result, but in the second half we started to play a little more and we created a few more chances. Personally it was just exciting being out there."
On any nerves and getting acclimated to the game:
"I got through it in warmups and once the game got going I knew what I had to do and knew that I couldn't let any nerves get in my way."
On facing Landon Donovan:
"It's good to get the best in the first game and get it out of the way. It was good and it's always good to go up against those types of players."
Revolution Forward Zack Schilawski
On making his MLS debut:
"I think that looking back, it was fun. Obviously we're a little disappointed in the result. It was frustrating at times, but I think that once we settled in, moved the ball around and had a little more possession it was good."
On Steve Nicol's halftime speech:
"He said that we needed to believe in ourselves a little bit, that's pretty much what the message was at halftime. We just had to have the confidence to go out there and the courage to knock the ball around a bit."
On the pairing with Kheli Dube:
"We created a few chances and sometimes that's all you can ask for. Sometimes you're a little unlucky not to finish, but you have to forget those and try to create as many chances as you could. We created a few chances and were unlucky not to get on the board."
On facing the Galaxy's two tall center backs:
"That was definitely a frustration for much of the game. Both (Kheli and I) wanted balls to our feet a little bit more, quicker combination play, stuff like that instead of just going over the top. To start the game off we wanted to keep it safe, keep it away from our backs and that was pretty much them game plan there. We weren't trying to play into their hands with them being bigger than us, we wanted to keep them on their toes."
Revolution Forward Zak Boggs
On making his MLS debut:
"For me personally it was about just getting my feet under me. This was my first official game so that was cool and it was a great atmosphere. Hats off to all those other rookies that made their debut. I'd also never played at The Home Depot Center, so that was cool.
On finding positives in the game:
"As a team, there are definitely things for us to work on but there are also good things to take from it so we move on from there."
On the Revolution attack:
"I thought that we had more possession in their half of the field in the second half and we had a bit more combination play and were looking to the forwards a little bit more."
Los Angeles Galaxy Head Coach Bruce Arena
On tonight's game:
"We are certainly happy with the three points in the opening game. We struggled last year to get the three points, it took us (five) games, however, tonight's performance was incomplete over the 90 minutes. I think we were sloppy in the first ten minutes of the second half. Our passing could have been better throughout the night. I think both teams played with a number of young players and got some valuable experience. I think we had a very good performance from our center backs. Edson Buddle had some very good moments holding the ball and being dangerous throughout the night. So I think overall it was a solid performance, we defended for the most part pretty well. We got a little bit sloppy on a couple of plays during the match I think overall for the first time out it was a good performance. I think again we were pretty sloppy and tried to finish them up with the second goal we had our opportunities to do that both in the first and second half so that part certainly was not good. We know that we have to get better as a team but it is a good experience and we know we have a tough match ahead of us on Thursday against Chivas USA."
On the play of his three Brazilians:
"I thought they played pretty well. I thought Leonardo was rock solid at center back Juninho had a pretty good night though he could have been better with the final pass at times. Alex we played him in a position he really didn't play much in preseason and I thought he responded pretty well. We just started playing him at left midfield this week so I thought for the most part that was pretty good for his first time out."
On the rest of the squad:
"I also said that our young player Michael Stephens played very well for the last 10-12 minutes to kill off the game. Landon [Donovan] was pretty solid maybe even a little charitable towards the end of the game but his leadership was good tonight. I think [Dema] Kovalenko had a solid match. The guys for the most part were pretty solid tonight but we certainly could be better but a little disappointed we didn't get that second goal."
On Edson Buddle:
"He is definitely over his injury problems. Edson had a pretty good performance over the 90 minutes he battled pretty hard tonight and had some pretty good moments. He did a good job holding the ball obviously an important goal. I think this could be a good year for him I hope he stays healthy."
On the play of his center backs:
"It is very important I think with the combination of Berhalter with that group we are pretty solid in that position and we are going to need that through out the season."
On finishing chances:
"It could have been better there were a few chances out there for us to get the second goal. During the night we didn't do well at all with our last pass, the last look at the goal we could be a bit better with that."
LA Galaxy forward Landon Donovan
His overall thoughts:
"Pretty good performance. We had a few let downs in the early part of the second half where if they are better they probably score. Having said that, we had a few chances to score in the second half. I'm happy with the win, but certainly know we can play a lot better."
On the play of Edson Buddle:
"Edson was great tonight. He's looked really sharp since I got back. If we play a little better, we can get him the ball in better spots but I think overall he was very good."
On his late scoring chance:
"It was frustrating. On another day if a team scores and equalizes that's going to hurt us a lot. I have to do better."
On the overall play of the midfield…
"It wasn't bad. We can be a lot better with the ball. They did a good job of playing defensively, but as we get more comfortable with each other, and with Juninho and Alex, who played a lot of minutes, we will get better."
On the play of the defense:
"We've solidify ourselves defensively. Where in the past we had issues, now we have some solid center backs and some good cover at center back and we're happy with that."
On his initial thoughts of the three Brazilians:
"I thought Leonardo was very good. I think Alex played pretty well, but he has to get used to the pace here. It's probably different than what he is used to playing in Brazil. And Juninho had some moments where he was being creative, but he is going to get better as time goes on."
LA Galaxy forward Edson Buddle
On his goal:
"It was a good ball. Landon had a good service, good pace, and I was able to redirect the ball on target. Because of the velocity the ball had it made it easy to redirect."
On getting his first goal of the season in the opener:
"I think I'm getting settled. Bruce has given me a little confidence and I'm certainly glad being here so it really helps going forward."
LA Galaxy defender Todd Dunivant
On the win:
"Last year we were a very counter attacking team. With Landon up there, he's the best there is, and we saw that at the end where he plays that ball to Alex (Cazumba) and we almost score. It's something we always have in our bag and teams always have trouble stopping him. I don't know how you stop Landon Donovan in the open field."
On the absence of Shalrie Joseph for New England:
"Shalrie makes a huge difference for them. That's a big loss, but they've had a few key departurs (over the years) with (Taylor) Twellman being out, (Matt) Reiss being out and (Steve) Ralston."

> I do not know the literature....
Then you really cannot judge the validity of Fox's claims on scientific
grounds, now can you? Which is why you have been avoiding doing so.
You are also being hypocritical; you chastise me for supposedly making claims
that cannot be backed up by evidence (even after I do just that), when your
entire position is based on ignorance instead of knowledge.
So much for objectivity....

Get some inspiration
LL Textiles
Filigree Chevron in Autumn - By the Yard
Price: $146.00 / yard
I took a traditional graphic chevron and embellished it with a leafy filigree to create a modern fabric with an old-fashioned edge.
Available in several colorways: autumn (featured), black & white, blue, gray, and black&oatmeal
100% Linen
Repeats~ Horizontal:4.5" / Vertical: 2"
The fabric in these photos has been washed.
Inspired by natural elements and the wildflowers & weeds Lauren has loved since childhood, each hand-drawn textile tells a story. Because of the nature of our eco-friendly printing process (which uses water vs. harsh chemicals) slight variations will occur. The textiles have been designed with this in mind and many of them have a slightly mottled quality to give the appearance of age & patina. We believe that this is what makes them unique & beautiful.
Printed in the U.S.A. on Belgian linen.
54" wide
Not suitable for heavy use upholstery
Washing fabric will change its appearance due to the nature of natural linen. (Fibers loosen, and it takes on a patina & fades slightly, which we love.) Most of the fabrics pictured on this website have been washed. If you order a memo, it will not come washed.
Wash only in cold water on "gentle" with a gentle cleanser and dry on low or no heat so as to not break the linen's fibers. The designs that change the most when washed are those with colored backgrounds.
For trade inquiries please send a copy of your resale license and contact information to firstname.lastname@example.com so we can open your account.

"Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America: They will be met." – From the inaugural address of President Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States
And so it begins – perhaps the most awaited U.S. Presidential term in recent memory. What does it hold for our nation and for we as a people? Mired as we are in an economic recession, burdened by trillions in debt, and facing an ever-shadowy global network of terrorists and evil-doers, the road before us seems rockier than ever. Yet the first speech by President Obama lays out a plan that he believes shall help us deal with – if not overcome -- all of these obstacles before us.
"Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet," Obama said after taking the oath of office on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C.
"These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics," he noted. "Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land – a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights. [Yet] the time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness."
Obama stressed that "greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the fainthearted – for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things – some celebrated, but more often men and women obscure in their labor – who have carried us up the long, rugged path toward prosperity and freedom."
So what does this mean for the country over the next four years, and for trucking?
Well, for starters, expect a heavy focus on alternative energy. President Obama laid out an over-arching strategy to get America to embrace a variety of alternatives to petroleum for both environmental and national security reasons. "We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories," he stated.
Expect, too, an massive rebuilding an expansion of our infrastructure – a major tenet of his campaign he still plans to carry forward with vigor.
"The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act – not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth," Obama said. "We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do."
Obama noted in speech Jan. 8 at George Mason University that everyone in America must share in the task ahead as well as shoulder some of the blame for how we got here. "This crisis did not happen solely by some accident of history or normal turn of the business cycle, and we won't get out of it by simply waiting for a better day to come, or relying on the worn-out dogmas of the past," he noted in his talk at the school.
"We arrived at this point due to an era of profound irresponsibility that stretched from corporate boardrooms to the halls of power in Washington, DC. For years, too many Wall Street executives made imprudent and dangerous decisions, seeking profits with too little regard for risk, too little regulatory scrutiny, and too little accountability," Obama said. "Banks made loans without concern for whether borrowers could repay them, and some borrowers took advantage of cheap credit to take on debt they couldn't afford. Politicians spent taxpayer money without wisdom or discipline, and too often focused on scoring political points instead of the problems they were sent here to solve."
He also stressed that instead of politicians doling out money behind a veil of secrecy, decisions about where the government invests will be made transparently, and informed by independent experts wherever possible. "Every American will be able to hold Washington accountable for these decisions by going online to see how and where their tax dollars are being spent," Obama said.
"We will launch an unprecedented effort to eliminate unwise and unnecessary spending that has never been more unaffordable for our nation and our children's future than it is right now," he noted. "We have to make tough choices and smart investments today so that as the economy recovers, the deficit starts to come down. We cannot have a solid recovery if our people and our businesses don't have confidence that we're getting our fiscal house in order. That's why our goal is not to create a slew of new government programs, but a foundation for long-term economic growth."
Will Obama's efforts be successful? Surely, they are ambitious. But as he noted shortly after taking the oath of office, President Obama believes American and its people are more than capable of achieving all of this.
"There are some who question the scale of our ambitions – who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage," he said.
"This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began," Obama stressed. "Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions -- that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America."
Good luck to you Mr. President.

One of my hobbies, one that most people do not know about, is collecting knives, folding knives in particular. No, I am not a hardcore collector, like my son's good friend Darin who got me started. But I do have several knives of different sizes (from 3 to 9 inches when open) and types (lockback, liner lock, credit card, etc.).
Many knives can be easily opened and even closed with one hand. And these are not even spring assisted or butterfly knives (which are illegal in Hawaii). These are just regular folding knives.
So what is my point? It does not take much skill or training at all to conceal a folding knife and open it very quickly. A regular knife does not even have to be opened.
If a person wanted to attack you with a knife, you would not be able to see it coming. Unlike television shows and Karate demonstrations where the knife attacker makes big, slow motions, a real knife attack will probably be lightning fast and at close quarters. No big slashes or swings. The knife will be opened and the attack will be made, almost certainly before you can see it. A twitch of the wrist and you will be cut... and skilled knife fighters know where to cut do the most damage in the least time. You could be cut several times before you could even react.
One of my Karate teachers also taught eskrima. He often warned us to be extremely careful when an attacker brushes back his hair, rubs his neck, or reaches for a back pocket, because these could all be movements to get a concealed knife. He taught that you have to react to the movements of the attacker, not to the knife itself. By the time you see the knife -- if you even see the knife -- it will be too late.
You have to react to the attacker and it would be prudent to assume that he is armed whether you know it or not.
I know that this is difficult. I am not saying that you should use a regular Karate-type block to defend against a knife. The teacher I mentioned above used to teach us how to use folding chairs and other items for defense, even umbrellas. You have to be aware of the environment and alert to things that could be used for defense.
As much as we practice Karate, there are other martial artists who train with knives and other weapons. You have to assume that they can become as skilled as us! If you think that you are good at Karate, can you imagine being attacked by someone just as good (or better) at knife fighting? That is not a pleasant thought!
It doesn't matter that you are skilled at Karate if you are wounded or killed before you can use it. Therefore, being aware of the situation has to be the most important part of Karate, because without awareness, there will be no opportunity to use any techniques at all.
Sometimes I see martial artists who are cocky about their fighting skills. Confidence is a good thing but overconfidence can make you miss things... like a concealed knife.
Just to be clear, I collect knives and use them for utility purposes (like cutting plants and cord). I do not carry knives. That does not mean that other people don't carry knives... you have to assume that at least some do.
In Karate we learn to defend against an unexpected attack. That attack could be with a knife, a knife that might not be seen until it is too late.

Knives You Don't See
One of my hobbies, one that most people do not know about, is collecting knives, folding knives in particular. No, I am not a hardcore collector, like my son's good friend Darin who got me started. But I do have several knives of different sizes (from 3 to 9 inches when open) and types (lockback, liner lock, credit card, etc.).

You may NOT offer them for download at your site, sell them, and you may NOT run them through any file reduction program such as Net Mechanic, Gif Wizard or any other program of a similar nature, as these programs may illegally take out copyright information embedded in the animation. If you can't abide by this then please take the time to learn how to make your own images or hire me, then you can do whatever you like with your own. I don't mean to sound harsh but I have to be sure there is no misunderstanding on this. I spent a lot of time making these images and they are the smallest possible in file size while maintaining quality. A link to this site would be appreciated but not absolutely necessary. If you are new to collecting graphics then put your mouse over the image that you would like to copy and right click your mouse, then select 'save picture as..' or 'save image as' to download to your hard drive (make sure you know where it's going, or better yet, select a folder to put it in. For example: I created a folder and named it pictures and that is where I send all my graphics). I think that putting a border around an image can really help it fit on a page (something like putting a frame on a painting). Hence, you will find most of the 'banners' here with them.

Italian Election Delivers Political Gridlock
A general election has left Italy with no clear winner. WSJ's Chris Emsden suggests that even a grand coalition of the major parties would prove unworkable, making another election more likely. Photo: Reuters

To the outsider, the historic building preservation movement and the green building movement would seem like natural allies. But according to Carla Bruni, proponents of green building are often inclined to use all new materials — albeit from recycled components — while historic preservation folks tend to "be snobby about green building ideas."
"Both have valid points and both are kind of stubborn at the same time," Bruni says. "Anytime you're tearing a building down you're filling up landfills and the materials you're using to build it up again take a lot of energy."
If anyone can bridge the gap, it's this 33-year-old, openly gay Chicago native. Bruni's master's degree in historic preservation and deep passion for environmental change, plus years of community organizing around Chicago's ubiquitous bungalow-style homes, make her uniquely qualified. "I've landmarked over 300 homes that are now on the national register of historic places," she says. "It makes them eligible for tax incentives that help you do restorations on your home, and it fosters pride."
But taxes aren't the only incentive. "I'm not even sure how many people really use the tax incentives, but they're so proud of [attaining landmark status] that they want to maintain their lawns more," she says. "They kind of feel awesome about it. To me, what a great way to have environmental impact. We've literally saved millions of tons of debris from going into landfills."
Not content to teach, advocate, and write grants, Bruni likes to get her hands dirty, too. She spends a lot of time traveling to New Orleans, where she volunteers cleaning up historic shotgun homes in the hurricane-ravaged city, which also happens to be where her girlfriend of seven years is attending graduate school. "I love New Orleans because it has more landmark districts than anywhere in the rest of the country."
And then there's the issue of her name, which Bruni shares with the beautiful and controversial singer-model-first lady of France. "It's kind of a blessing and a curse," she says, laughing. "It's a little annoying, but I think people remember my name a lot more."

I quote from an article in the Chicago Tribune:
UNESCO is in its "worst ever financial situation" after its biggest contributor the United States froze funding last year, the director general of the United Nations' cultural agency said on Thursday.
The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization was plunged into crisis in October 2011 when Washington, an ally of Israel, cancelled its grant in protest at the body's decision to grant the Palestinians full membership.
The U.N. body had been forced to slash spending, freeze job hires and cut programs after losing the U.S. funding, which had made up 22 percent of its budget, UNESCO's Irina Bokova told reporters.
The organization, which designates World Heritage sites, promotes global education and supports press freedom among other tasks, had started the year with a deficit of $150 million out of $653 million for its budget over 2012 and 2013, Bokova said.
