UndocuBus activists disrupt Kris Kobach immigration law hearing in Alabama
Gerardo Torres and three other UndocuBus riders interrupted hearing in Birmingham.
Activists interrupted a hearing in Birmingham, Ala. today on state laws cracking down on illegal immigration. They briefly blocked the street and stormed the hotel lobby where the hearing was.
Riders of Undocubus, part of a campaign for and by undocumented immigrants riding from Arizona to the Democratic National Convention, interrupted testimony by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
Kobach, who helped write controversial immigration laws in Alabama and Arizona, was testifying to a U.S. Commission on Civil Rights that the laws weren't discriminatory and don't result in racial profiling, according to the Associated Press.
Protesters repeatedly interrupted the hearing and held signs reading "undocumented." They attempted to testify on how laws had affected their lives personally.
"Anyone who wants to understand the impact of immigration laws needs to hear from undocumented people not the authors of attrition," said Gerardo Torres, one the four who spoke out during the meeting.
Protesters were escorted out of the meeting.
The Associated Press reported that members of the commission — which is evenly split between Democrats and Republicans — began bickering among themselves until the chairman restored order.
Shortly after, protesters blocked the street by parking a bus in the street in front of the hotel and conducted street theater culminating in chants for justice.

They then stormed the lobby of the Sheraton hotel for about 5 minutes until sheriffs pushed them out — not before activists sat down in the lobby.

In later testimony, expert Carol Swain implied undocumented and young immigrants were criminals and called their "undocumented and unafraid" shirts shameful.

Texas judge OKs ban on Planned Parenthood funding
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas can cut off funding to Planned Parenthood's family planning programs for poor women, a state judge ruled Monday, requiring thousands to find new state-approved doctors for their annual exams, cancer screenings and birth control.
Judge Gary Harger said that Texas may exclude otherwise qualified doctors and clinics from receiving state funding if they advocate for abortion rights.
Texas has long banned the use of state funds for abortion, but had continued to reimburse Planned Parenthood clinics for providing basic health care to poor women through the state's Women's Health Program. The program provides preventive care to 110,000 poor women a year, and Planned Parenthood clinics were treating 48,000 of them.
Planned Parenthood's lawsuit to stop the rule will still go forward, but the judge decided Monday that the ban may go into effect for now. In seeking a temporary restraining order, Planned Parenthood wanted its patients to be able to see their current doctors until a final decision was made.
"We are pleased the court rejected Planned Parenthood's latest attempt to skirt state law," attorney general spokeswoman Lauren Bean said. "The Texas Attorney General's office will continue to defend the Texas Legislature's decision to prohibit abortion providers and their affiliates from receiving taxpayer dollars through the Women's Health Program."
Ken Lambrecht, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, said he brought the lawsuit on behalf of poor women who depend on its clinics.
"It is shocking that once again Texas officials are letting politics jeopardize health care access for women," Lambrecht said. "Our doors remain open today and always to Texas women in need. We only wish Texas politicians shared this commitment to Texas women, their health, and their well-being."
Planned Parenthood has brought three lawsuits over Texas' so-called "affiliate rule," claiming it violates the constitutional rights of doctors and patients while also contradicting existing state law.
Republican lawmakers who passed the affiliate rule last year have argued that Texas is an anti-abortion state, and therefore should cut off funds to groups that support abortion rights. Gov. Rick Perry, who vehemently opposes abortion, has pledged to do everything legally possible to shut down Planned Parenthood in Texas and welcomed the court's ruling.
"Today's ruling finally clears the way for thousands of low-income Texas women to access much-needed care, while at the same time respecting the values and laws of our state," Perry said. "I applaud all those who stand ready to help these women live healthy lives without sending taxpayer money to abortion providers and their affiliates." Continued...
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has spent the last nine months preparing to implement the affiliate rule. But federal officials warned it violated the Social Security Act and cut off federal funds for the Women's Health Program, prompting the commission to start a new program using only state money.
State officials have also scrambled to sign up new doctors and clinics to replace Planned Parenthood. Women who previously went to Planned Parenthood clinics will now have to use the agency's web site to find a new state-approved doctor. HHSC officials acknowledged Monday they are unsure whether the new doctors can pick up Planned Parenthood's caseload in all parts of the state.
Any capacity issues will become clear in the next few weeks as women try to make appointments with new clinics and doctors, with problems anticipated in South Texas and other impoverished areas. Texas already suffers from a shortage of primary care physicians willing to take on new patients who rely on state-funded health care.
Linda Edwards Gockel, a spokesman for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, said Monday that the new state program will launch as planned on Tuesday.
"We have more than 3,500 doctors, clinics and other providers in the program and will be able to continue to provide women with family planning services while fully complying with state law," she said. "We welcome Planned Parenthood's help in referring patients to providers in the new program."
Democratic lawmakers continued to question whether women will have to wait longer for appointments and services.
"I vehemently disagree with the state's efforts to blacklist a qualified provider and, thereby, interfere with a woman's right to choose her own provider," said state Rep. Donna Howard, D-Austin. "I will be submitting a letter to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, requesting a list of approved providers to gauge the outreach of the new program, and ensure that all qualified women throughout the state have access to its services."
Another hearing is scheduled with a different judge for Jan. 11, where Planned Parenthood will again ask for an injunction to receive state funding.

Execellent software. I just wish it would use the whole DVD space when burning onto a DVD5. It used only 3.06Gb on a 4.7Gb when backing up THOR.
I bought the Ultimate version 2 weeks ago and so far it has worked like a charm. I really like that you can select the subtitles and audio tracks. so easy to use. Now I backup my blu-rays to DVD and also to watch on my Ipad when I'm travelling. The watermark didn't bother me as it is clearly stated that it's a trial version, and you still check out the video quality with the watermark. I tried it once and then immediately bought it.
Tried the trial and would have considered buying it if I liked it. However, the trial puts a decal across the screen of your DVD that makes it unwatchable. I you are going let someone try your software, give them a full version to test like AnyDVDHD and CloneDVD2 do. This is BS, I wasted a couple of hours and a disc on an unwatchable POS. As far as the output goes, it only took up 3.19 gb of space wasting a whole gig, the extra compression made the PQ very soft and fuzzy especially when compared to the excellent quality you get from the FREE MULTIAVCHD. All-in-all, stay away from this, it is not worth the money. MULTIAVCHD does a much better job for free.
I've tried other VSO soft, and especially ConvertXtoDVD is a great tool. On the other hand this one is just not working, either if I try to load a backup folder, or an ISO file, or even if I mount the image, I get the same result: Selected HD structure doesn't contain any valid video stream... So at least try it before you decide to go further, or stick to the good old free alternatives...

Exam and Revision Session Timetables for June are available in the exams section
Year 7 (new Year 8) Parents' Evening Tuesday 4th June
Message from the Headteacher
Welcome to our website! I hope that this will help you to easily access information about our school.
Hollingworth is a high achieving, successful school. We are extremely proud that Ofsted graded us 'outstanding' in their most recent inspection. However, we are not complacent as there are always ways in which we can improve further.
We are justly proud of the high quality education we provide. We have high expectations and insist on high standards: we expect all of our pupils to work with a fantastic attitude to learning and to behave in a way which shows respect to themselves and others.
In September 2011 we were delighted to move into our brand new building, which was the result of twenty five million pounds worth of investment. This has provided our pupils and the local community with state of the art facilities in all subject areas which will enable us to further develop the academic, cultural and sporting interests of our pupils in an attractive modern environment.
I hope that this website gives you a flavour of our school. If you would like to know more about Hollingworth, please do not hesitate to contact us by telephone, email or arrange a visit.

MiniVax is focused on the development of novel solutions for the treatment and prevention of opportunistic infections. It is currently developing solutions for the indication Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP). The fungus Pneumocystis commonly resides in the lungs of healthy individuals, but the infection PCP does not arise until a person's immune system is depressed at which time the Pneumocystis pathogens can replicate and cause an infection. PCP is the most common opportunistic infection in HIV/AIDS patients. It also affects other immunocompromised patients including those less than two years of age and over seventy years of age and those undergoing cancer treatment, immunosuppression for organ transplant surgery, corticosteroid treatment, or other immunosuppressive therapy.After infection occurs, PCP has a high mortality rate.
MiniVax's lead product candidate is a monoclonal antibody (PCP-Antibody) for the treatment of PCP. For those patients already suffering from PCP that are plagued by an average mortality rate of 20%, PCP-Antibody will provide an immediate defense against PC by delivering the antibodies needed to fight off the infection and thereby reducing the risk of mortality.
A follow on product is a novel vaccine (PCP-Vaccine) for the prevention of PCP. PCP-Vaccine promotes the development of long term anti-Pneumocystis antibodies in patients receiving the vaccine. The antibodies help immunocompromised patients prevent Pneumocystis infection and, therefore, prevent PCP development. Similar to childhood vaccinations, one multi-dose regimen of PCP-Vaccine will be needed to confer lifetime protection.
In addition to the therapeutic antibody and vaccine, MiniVax is developing a diagnostic (PCP-Diagnostic) for the detection of a Pneumocystis infection. Currently, clinical diagnosis of PCP is limited to immunohistochemistry and examination of chest X-rays, which have limited sensitivity, specificity, and speed. It takes a highly experienced physician to diagnose PCP. PCP-Diagnostic will provide a quick and accurate means of diagnosing PCP, thus ensuring that the appropriate treatment is prescribed in a timely manner.
The preliminary technology for MiniVax's PCP products was developed by Dr. Jay Kolls and Dr. Mingquan Zheng at Louisiana State University Health and Science Center (LSUHSC). Drs. Kolls and Zheng initially studied an immunogenic protein in Pneumocystis called Kexin, which provided protection against Pneumocystis in initial animal studies. Approximately five years and $4 million were spent in the lab developing this technology before MiniVax became operational in mid-2011. Currently, MiniVax is further developing the technology through federal and state grants.

Free Saturday Class
So you've heard about CrossFit from a friend, relative or co-worker and you still don't know what it is. It might be a little early to commit to an On-Ramp or Elements session. Let us show you our approach to overall fitness. Come and get a taste of what a CrossFit session is actually like. The class is free and you are able to come to as many as you would like with no restrictions. We want to give you a glimpse inside our training methodologies in a fun and positive environment.
What To Expect
Our free class starts promptly at 10:30am, so be sure to get their a little early! We'll have you fill out a waiver, then briefly talk to your CF coach about your fitness background. Don't have much of a fitness packground? Don't worry if you don't have much of a background in fitness, we can scale the workout to be manageable for your skill level!
Next, we will throw a little CF education your way. The coach will explain to you what CrossFit means and how the programming will mold you into and healthy, well-rounded athlete. Then, the coach will instruct you through a dynamic warm-up specifically tailored for the day's workout (some say this is harder than their normal workout).
Now that that your all loosened up, it's that moment you've been waiting for the WOD (Workout of the Day). Your coach will break down each movement in the WOD and instruct you how to perform them properly and safely. Don't worry, our CF coaches have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly so they will correct your form & give you as much instruction as you need.
The coach will then start the count down 3...2...1...GO! and with that, your short & intense CF workout begins! Forgot the form or the exercises already? No problem! your CF coach will be there to help get you in perfect for and, of course, motivate you!
Before you know it, the clock will stop and your workout will be complete! See, we told you it was short. We promise you will forget how intense it was when you realize how good you feel after! Now it's time for high fives and questions (in that order) as you cool down and do some foam rolling. Congratulations, you've just had your first CrossFit experience, and we're willing to bet it won't be your last!

All understanding is built upon morality, a set of values against which reason interprets events, and this morality is an essential and physical part of every adult human. It is formed by the experiences of upbringing during the first seven years of infancy, and the resulting personality created by this understanding may be separated into two distinct types:
Selfish: those whose code of morality places self ahead of all other considerations, so their behaviour is controlled only by convenience (Immoral).
Unselfish: those who revere a code of morality ahead of themselves, which controls their behaviour (Moral).
The Selfish, or Immoral
The selfish, or immoral, person is someone who has been taught to prize themselves above everything, hence they:
• Do not respect others—not their lives, property, rights, freedoms, nor opinions. They only respect themselves, their own feelings, opinions, rights and freedoms.
• Dissipate Wealth—by placing all their efforts into indulging their impulses while avoiding the demands of others, they can only exhaust, and not accumulate, wealth.
• Are Tyrannical—being a slave to their own emotions means they demand everyone else becomes the same slave.
• Are irresolute— at the mercy of the vagaries of their feelings they have lost the military spirit and are whimsical, disloyal and cowardly.
• Are irrational—unrestrained by any morality except that of convenience, they are unable to resist the demands of their impulses, so their reason becomes a slave of their feelings, which corrupts their understanding.
• Win Misery despite indulging their urges they find only unhappiness.
Unselfish, or Moral
Adopting any set of values that prize something other than private indulgence, allows an individual to:
• Respect Others — the adopted values dictate that self is subordinate to the community, so the general welfare of others is more important than private welfare.
• Create Wealth — the energy supplied by physical appetites is changed into lasting achievements rather than fleeting moments of pleasure. A moral man may build a fence instead of pursuing sexual gratification; a moral woman may repair her children's clothes instead of seeking the attentions of the opposite sex.
• Be Rational— by suppressing the whimsical demands of emotions the individual can form a stable sensible understanding, which allows the notions of justice and duty, which in turn win:
A moral individual improves their world by creating riches perceived by a clear understanding and won through self-sacrifice, an immoral (selfish) individual achieves the opposite; they consume wealth by sacrificing all around them on the altar of their private desires while hiding this fact by lying. The moral make their community richer and cleverer, while the immoral generate poverty and delusion.

Brian Burke is a fervent believer that when fans purchase a ticket to a sporting event, those fans are entitled to boo or cheer or express themselves in any way they see fit, so long as it's not vulgar or racist. That said, the Toronto Maple Leafs general manager is also a big believer in freedom of speech and he said it is "disgraceful" that some fans at the Air Canada Centre on Saturday night booed Leafs' captain Dion Phaneuf. "Are they entitled to do it?" Burke said, "Sure, they are. And I honestly don't believe it was a lot of them. It doesn't take many fans booing to be heard so I think we're talking about a very small number, but my opinion is that it's disgraceful to boo Dion Phaneuf for everything he has done for this franchise, on and off the ice, in a very short period of time." Burke said the biggest difference between this year's 5-4-1 team and last year's team that started the season 0-7-1 is "cultural" and the most significant factor in that "culture change" has been Phaneuf. "I don't think some of our fans realize the extent of what Dion has done for this organization, on and off the ice," Burke said. "Off the ice, he's done tremendous charity work and more than any other individual has gone out of his way to change the attitude in our dressing room with our players. On the ice, we're extremely happy with his play. Sure, he could have some more points but we are not scoring as a team right now and Dion's point totals reflect that. The bottom line is that Dion has wrought a considerable culture change with our team and he's done it almost singlehandedly. His leadership has been outstanding in every way. Outstanding. So, yeah, when I hear some of our fans boo him, it bothers me. I think it's disgraceful." Burke said he's generally pleased with how the Leafs are playing, even though they've lost back to back games after a strong start to the season. He's well aware that the Leafs' appear to have reverted to a pop-gun offence but believes that's a temporary situation and if it does turn out to be a longer-term issue, then he'll do something about it. "There are no panic buttons being pushed here," Burke said. "We really like the way the team is playing. Our goaltending has been good, we're happy with our team defence and while we haven't scored as much as we would like, guys are getting chances and some of those have to start going in. If they don't, we will look to do something but I'm not going to blow the cap space we have available to us just 10 games in to force something that isn't there right now. I'm not going to make a move for a veteran free agent because we think we have younger players here who can get the job done. Let's give this some time to see where we're at. I know we have players who can give us more (offensively) than we've seen so far. So let's give them a chance to prove it. If we need to make a big move, and we've got enough cap space to make one big move, we'll do it, but for now, I'm preaching patience."

Gophers basketball: Joe Coleman thanks fans and the team
- 15 May //
- Posted in Gophers Now //
- Tags :
- Comments Off
Former Gophers swingman Joe Coleman's abrupt transfer this week might have taken fans and the team by surprise. But in a text message Wednesday night, Coleman said he thought about this decision before new coach Richard Pitino arrived last month.
"After much consideration, I have decided that transferring will be best for me. This was not an easy decision by any means, and is something I have been considering since before Coach Pitino arrived at Minnesota. I wish Coach Pitino, his staff and my former teammates nothing but the best. I also want to wholeheartedly thank the Minnesota fans, staff and students for making my first two years of college so unforgettable."
Hopkins coach Ken Novak, who coached Coleman in high school, received more than a dozen calls from high-major and mid-major programs interested in his former star player Wednesday. Some of those schools include Iowa State, Florida State, Seton Hall, Boston College, Oregon and Creighton. I've also heard Missouri and Texas Tech (Tubby Smith's new school) are interested as well.
Could this end up being another transfer who blossoms after leaving the Gophers (Royce White, Devoe Joseph, Justin Cobbs, Colton Iverson)? I think so, depending on the situation. Sitting out a year could allow Coleman to improve his shooting and ball handling enough to become a big-time contributor in a fast-paced, high-scoring offense.
Gophers basketball: Mbakwe invited to NBA pre-draft camp but not Williams

Gophers senior forwards Trevor Mbakwe and Rodney Williams are hoping to impress teams to get selected in next month's draft, but only one of them will be attending the NBA pre-draft camp in Chicago on May 16-17.
Mbakwe was among the list of 61 participants for the draft combine released Thursday (NBA combine invites). Also included were former Gophers and Colorado State center Colton Iverson, Bucknell center Mike Muscala from Roseville, Minn., and South Dakota State point guard Nate Wolters from St. Cloud.
Williams, who did not have a strong ending to his Gophers' career, is an NBA-level athlete but not much else translates to the next level. So his workouts for NBA teams next month will likely need to be spectacular for him to get drafted in the mid-to-late second round.
Mbakwe's ability to rebound and defend in the post makes him an attractive prospect as a specialist in the NBA. He declined to participate in the Portsmouth Invitational in Virginia last month, but he's been working out in Atlanta preparing for the draft.
Gophers football: Max Shortell says he'll play at Jacksonville State in the FCS
- 9 May //

Former Gophers quarterback Max Shortell, who decided to leave the program in December, will be transferring to Jacksonville State (Ala.), according to his twitter account Thursday.
"I will be playing ball next at Jacksonville State University. #GoGamecocks!," Shortell posted on his twitter page (@goldenarmginger).
Jacksonville State competes in the Football Championship Subdivision. Shortell, who is a junior, is eligible to play this year.
Shortell started five career games for the Gophers, including three last season while throwing for 853 yards with six touchdowns and five interceptions. He made the decision to transfer after losing his starting job to freshman Philip Nelson, who started the last seven games.
The Gophers ran a spread-option offense under Jerry Kill the last two years, which seemed to be the wrong fit for Shortell. But Jacksonville State, which finished 6-5 last season, also runs a spred offense with read option plays. Kill wanted Shortell back this year, but Shortell would never get a chance to start as long as Nelson was healthy. That's why he left.
Gophers football: Freshman QB Chris Streveler is going through a similar growing process
- 21 April //
- Posted in Gophers Now //
- Tags :
- Comments Off
Getting a chance to practice with the Gophers this spring as a true freshman quarterback is something that will benefit Chris Streveler in time — just like it did for Philip Nelson and Mitch Leidner.
Streveler has the athletic ability and accuracy to compete. But he was still far behind Nelson and Leidner when it came to feeling comfortable in the offense. He finally showed coaches he was ready for more scrimmage reps on Saturday, April 20.
He only took three snaps a week ago in the scrimmage. But Streveler played more than double that this weekend.
Gophers quarterbacks coach Jim Zebrowski said he felt bad asking signal callers straight out of high school to digest such a complex offense. Nelson was a quick learner last spring. Leidner took more time. The Gophers are in motion so often in their multiple sets that it can get confusing. They also require the quarterback to call several checks at the line of scrimmage.
It has been overwhelming at times for Streveler, who had a rough practice earlier in the week. He forgot the snap count.
"But he made some good plays today," Zebrowski said. "He looked a little more comfortable. If you watched Mitch last year, I remember we put him in there sometimes and he looked like a robot."
Zebrowski wondered last year if Leidner would ever loosen up. The former Lakeville South standout is a completely different quarterback now from last spring. So is Nelson. Streveler might be turning the corner with his confidence. But the Gophers need to see more from him in a scrimmage setting to be sure.
"When you think so much, you're body tightens up. It's like a golf swing," Zebrowski said. "So Mitch is now relaxed. Chris is closer. I hope to play him more, so he can get more comfortable."
Gophers offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover said he's still "super excited" about Streveler.
"But his brain is going about five million times an hour," Limegrover said. "I've said it before; we want him to be a quarterback. If it turns out to be a situation where he can help us at wide receiver, we'll figuratively cross that bridge when we get to it. I really don't want him thinking of anything else but being the best quarterback he can be."
– Limegrover said senior running back Donnell Kirkwood would probably not get many carries in the spring game April 27. He hopes to give junior David Cobb as many chances as possible to show fans what the hype surrounding his improvement as been about. Kirkwood, who didn't participate in the previous scrimmage, had a 40-yard run on the first drive Saturday. But Cobb followed with a 40-yard run of his own. Cobb scored three touchdowns in goal-line situations, but he also had a fumble.
– Nelson completed his first five passes of the scrimmage, including a nicely placed 15-yard touchdown to Isaac Fruechte in the right corner of the end zone. Nelson also connected on a 20-yard slant pass to K.J. Maye. On one drive Nelson threw three straight incomplete passes to Fruechte, but two of them were dropped. Redshirt freshman Jamel Harbison, who is back from knee surgery last year, also dropped a pass from Nelson with a chance to pick up the first down.
– Leidner fumbled the ball on a pitch to the running back at the end of the scrimmage. But he continues to surprise everyone with his running ability. The 6-foot-4, 233-pound redshirt freshman had at least four runs of more than 10 yards, including a 25-yarder. Limegrover said he might actually be as fast now with the ball in the open field as Nelson.
– Gophers defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys said linebacker Damien Wilson, who is a junior-college transfer, cornerbacks Eric Murray and Briean Boddy and safety Antonio Johnson were the surprise players of the spring on defense. Wilson and Johnson are definitely my picks as the two hardest hitters on the team this spring.
– Running back James Gillum, wide receiver Devin Crawford-Tufts, center Brian Bobek and tackle Jonan Pirsig were among the offensive players who sat out the scrimmage. Defensive linemen Scott Ekpe and Hendrick Ekpe, who are brothers, missed practice Saturday because of a personal family matter.
Gophers basketball: New recruit Daquein McNeil praises Andre Hollins
- 18 April //
- Posted in Gophers Now //

- Comments Off
Gophers recruit Daquein McNeil has already been thinking about how he can play with Minnesota's All-Big Ten guard Andre Hollins next season.
"To be honest, I'm expecting to learn from him because he's a great player," McNeil said on Wednesday, April 17, after becoming the first player to commit to new coach Richard Pitino.
The 6-foot-3 Vermont Academy fifth-year senior said he'll play wherever Pitino needs him. Point guard is the biggest need. So McNeil is glad to give Hollins a chance to move over to off guard to concentrate on doing what Hollins does best — score.
"I'm pretty good with the ball and I can create shots for others," McNeil said. "With him being a great shooter, that can take him back to the shooting guard position. So I guess that's how I can fit into his game. But for the most part, he'll be just a great guy to play behind."
I think McNeil's ball handling ability and potential defensive presence will be the main reason he plays a lot of point guard next season. The Gophers haven't had a strong defender at point guard since Al Nolen was lost for the season with a foot injury in 2010-11.
McNeil, who averaged 19 points a game last season, is known as a great penetrator and slasher with the size and athletic ability to finish strong at the rim. Vermont Academy coach Jesse Bopp compared McNeil to Louisville's explosive scoring guard Russ Smith (Louisville offered McNeil a scholarship when Richard Pitino was the associate head coach there in 2011-12). One of his Baltimore Elite AAU coaches said McNeil's game resembled Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose, although that obviously seems like a stretch.
One of McNeil's best games last season was a 27-point effort in a loss to New Hampton Prep led by Indiana recruit and McDonald's All-American Noah Vonleh. McNeil also had a season-high 31 points in a loss to South Kent led by former Rutgers recruit and Gophers target Shane Rector. Highlights of their battle can be found on You Tube.McNeil vs. Rector
McNeil said Wednesday he plans to visit Minnesota's campus for the first time in May. He will sign his letter of intent in a few weeks.
– Florida International senior forward Rakeem Buckles, who sat out last season after transferring from Louisville, still has not decided if he will follow Pitino to Minnesota. He would need to get a waiver from the NCAA just to be allowed to play this season. He needs to take summer classes to graduate and is expected to figure out his future then.
– Memphis forward Tarik Black would be a much more realistic option for the Gophers. Black's AAU coach Eric "Cowboy" Robinson said Black was still considering Minnesota among the many schools interested in him, including Duke and Kansas. Black is on pace to graduate this spring, Robinson said. He could wait until that point to decide.
Gophers basketball: New staff interested in Memphis transfer Tarik Black

The replacement for All-Big Ten post Trevor Mbakwe might not be on the current Gophers basketball team.
Newly hired basketball coach Richard Pitino has set his sights on Memphis forward Tarik Black, who announced this week he would transfer and be eligible to play immediately as a graduate student.
The 6-foot-9, 260-pound Black averaged 8.1 points and 4.8 rebounds in 20.8 minutes a game last season for the Tigers. Black's best college season was when he averaged 10.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.5 blocks as a sophomore in 2011-12.
He actually outplayed Mbakwe when Minnesota upset Memphis behind Andre Hollins' 41 points in the Bahamas in November. Black had 13 points and four rebounds in just 16 minutes. Mbakwe had five points and eight rebounds in 20 minutes.
The Gophers want Black but they need to get in line. He has received interest from 20 schools, according to CBSSports.com's Jeff Goodman. Among the programs interested are Duke and Kansas. Looks like Pitino's first big recruiting test might not be "the Big Three."
– DeLaSalle junior forward Reid Travis met with Pitino on campus Thursday afternoon, according to his AAU coach Rene Pulley. Pitino is also scheduled to receive an unofficial visit from Apple Valley junior point guard Tyus Jones on Sunday. Cooper's Rashad Vaughn could also get his first chance to talk to Pitino in person on Friday.
Gophers football: Cockran showing signs he can be the new sack leader

The Gophers are expecting Thieren Cockran to be their top pass rusher this season.
But the 6-foot-6, 245-pound sophomore is not targeting a particular number of sacks for this year.
"I just want to get as many as I can," Cockran said after practice Thursday, April 10. "I have no set number. Sky's the limit. I'm trying to make as many plays as I can. That's my only goal."
It shouldn't be hard to eclipse last year's sack total. Cockran recorded just one. He was still learning how to use his length (6-foot-10 wingspan) and speed (4.6 in the 40) to his advantage. The difference from last season mentally is what makes him so much more confident in spring practice this year.
Cockran takes over the starting defensive end spot where D.L. Wilhite led the team with 8 1/2 sacks last season. Wilhite taught Cockran a lot the fundamentals. He improved his first step and keeping his eyes on the quarterback.
"Everything is mental now," he said. "I've got the physical talent I believe. I've focused. I'm more comfortable with the system now in college. I've adapted better here."
Cockran said he doesn't feel pressure to perform at a higher level. But the Gophers don't have too many more options if he doesn't produce. Junior Michael Amaefula is expected to be the other starting defensive end. Junior Ben Perry and sophomore Alex Keith are the backups. Coach Jerry Kill and his staff would have to look at freshmen after that.
But Kill likes what he has seen from Cockran so far this spring.
"He's like a baby deer; his arms hang down to his knees," Kill said. "He's long. He's learn. He's what you look for. He's had an outstanding spring."
– In high school, Cockran was under 200 pounds. So he definitely looked more like a forward in basketball than a defensive lineman at the major college level. He doesn't mind being mistaken for a hoopster now that he's 50 pounds heavier. Cockran wants to add about 20 more pounds to his frame.
"But when people say I'm a basketball player, I like that," he said. "It makes me feel like an athlete."
– Who is Cockran's favorite NFL player? That would be San Francisco 49ers star defensive end Aldon Smith. Cockran said, "He plays with so much speed and power, and I feel that's what I look after."
– Kill said eight players missed practice Thursday because of the flu. He is concerned about his team hitting the wall at the midway point of spring practice. The Gophers will test themselves during a scrimmage at 7 Friday night at the indoor practice facility.
– In order to motivate his players to work hard this spring, Kill said he used some quotes from ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas' book called "Toughness." The toughest and hardest-working players on Minnesota's team right now are freshman tight end Maxx Williams and senior defensive tackle Ra'Shede Hageman, Kill said.
Gophers basketball: Should Richard Pitino hire an assistant with local ties?

It's that time of the year when coaches from all over the country gather at the Final Four. They chat. They network. They look for a better situation. The best job for a coach from Minnesota would be to join newly hired Gophers basketball coach Richard Pitino's staff.
But it's uncertain if Pitino, who coached at Florida International this season, will hire an assistant with local ties. He is definitely bringing Panthers assistant Kimani Young with him. But Pitino might need to figure out the rest of his staff after meeting with coaches at the Final Four in Atlanta this week.
"A coach has to make his own decision on that," Hopkins basketball coach Ken Novak said. "I don't think he should be pushed to hire a local guy. I would love those kinds of connections. But the coach has to be comfortable with it. I'm sure he has a list he's looking at right now."
Here are some coaches with ties to Minnesota who might make sense for Pitino:
Ben Johnson, Nebraska — The former Gophers and De La Salle guard is a Nebraska assistant under Tim Miles. Johnson, 31, was also on staff's Northern Iowa and Texas Pan-American.
Jared Nuness, Baylor — Nuness, who is the son of former Gophers guard Al Nuness, has been the director of player development under Baylor's Scott Drew for three seasons. He was a local high school coach at Park Center and Bloomington Kennedy.
Tom Ostrom, Dayton — Ostrom is a U graduate and former grad assistant under Clem Haskins. He spent several years on the staffs of Arkansas and South Alabama under John Pelphrey and Florida under Billy Donovan.
Daryl Sharp, Hampton — Sharp is the father of Hopkins junior guard Stephon Sharp. He was the top recruiting assistant at Iowa State and a former director of basketball for Denny Crum at Louisville. He also coached a few local AAU teams.
Dave Thorson, De La Salle High — Thorson is a former Gophers assistant coach under Haskins. The longtime coach of the Islanders currently has top junior forward Reid Travis and top sophomore point guard Jarvis Johnson.
Niko Medved, Colorado State — The St. Paul native and U graduate has been an assistant at Colorado State, Minnesota and Furman.
Gophers basketball: Tubby Smith finally gets his practice facility/court

It took six years and getting another job after being fired, but former Gophers basketball coach Tubby Smith finally got his practice facility.
Well, it's a practice gym. The soon-to-be officially named Texas Tech coach harped for a separate place to practice when the University of Minnesota hired him from Kentucky in 2007. Three years ago, plans were finalized on a practice facility but no major donors stepped up to get the groundwork started. And now there will be another design and fundraising plan under new athletics director Norwood Teague next month.
The Gophers appeared to be struggling to generate enough interest in the project. So it will be interesting to see if Teague's next basketball coach can attract the money to make it happen.
After his final game as Minnesota's basketball coach following a loss to Florida on March 24, Smith brought up the lack of resources one last time. He couldn't help himself.
"I really think we need to grow the program," Smith said walking to the locker room after a 78-64 loss in Austin, Texas. "We have to do the things we need to do to compete with everybody else. That's for certain."
Smith will have better facilities at Texas Tech. Not only does he have a practice court but also the United Spirit Center was built in 1999. Tubby Smith's arena at Texas Tech
Gophers basketball: FGCU's AD on Andy Enfield: "Whatever happens is going to happen"

Florida Gulf Coast coach and potential Gophers candidate Andy Enfield said he needed a break.
The architect of "Dunk City" returned home from the team's Sweet 16 loss to Florida on Saturday, March 30. Enfield was asked questions about his name being brought up in coaching searches.
"Anytime you are successful in this business, it's just natural," Enfield told reporters in Florida. "My personal life and my family's personal life has been under such scrutiny the last week, week and a half. We just want to take a break, take a deep breath, realize what our team did for this university and this community, and we'll go from there in the next few days."
Will Enfield, 43, listen if Minnesota and Southern California show serious interest in luring him away? Yahoo Sports already reported that the Trojans were targeting Enfield. Gophers athletics director Norwood Teague and associate AD Mike Ellis are linked to Enfield because he was part of their Villa 7 program that helps assistant coaches find head coaching jobs.
FGCU AD Ken Kavanaugh told reporters on Saturday that "I have not heard a word" of anyone making contact with Enfield. But ADs aren't always contacted until the process is much further along.
"Whatever happens is going to happen, and we're not going to worry about things until things get in front of us," Kavanaugh said. "We're not worried about this stuff."
Enfield is in the second year of a five-year deal that paid him $157,500 a year. But a booster club representative told the Naples Daily News last week that it hoped the school could double his salary and make him the highest paid coach in the Atlantic Sun Conference.

Website Services
We're a comprehensive Orlando, Florida ISP that can meet all of your IT needs. And that means we've got a roster of website services to help you grow your business:
Whether you need to build a site, promote it online, add applications to it, or just update it, we can help. Our experienced Orlando website design team works from every angle to make sure your site achieves maximum impact and gets the results you want. And with applications like Flash, ASP, PHP, SQL, mySQL and E-Commerce at our disposal, we'll create a site for you that becomes a valuable, contributing part of your business.
Why should you hire a professional?
When your business is ready to make its initial foray onto the Internet in the form of a business website, your first thought may be, "Wouldn't it be cheaper to just hire the kid down the block to build my website?" If your goal is to publish a basic Web site with only a few pages and no special features, you might indeed benefit from paying a student or a novice to create your site. Hiring "the kid down the block" certainly would save you money in the short run.
For more advanced projects, however, cut-rate web developers may not be able to do the job. Large websites require developers who understand how people will use the site and how best to set up the site's navigation tools. Scripting, multimedia and other advanced features can wreck a site if they aren't used carefully. For example, a script that works perfectly on one user's machine might crash another's. Graphic design issues raise another challenge: It is surprisingly hard to prepare images that download quickly but still look good, or to select color schemes that make your site attractive and easy to read.
Don't forget your competitive situation. If your competitors offer sloppy, thrown-together sites, you've got a great opportunity to wow customers with a professional design. If you're competing against first-class Web efforts, can you afford to offer anything less?
Our web design process
1. Creative meeting We don't design your website for you. We make it with you. Which means we start with a kick-off meeting where you tell us about your company, your goals about what you want the site to accomplish, how you want the site to position your company, and any ideas you have about how you want your site to look and feel, the experience you want visitors to have. With the data from this meeting we create a design that meets your needs.
2. Concept development Once we've collaboratively decided what will best fit your business, you pull together all the materials and information to go into the site – stuff like your logos, color schemes, etc. After you send this to us, our designers will send you a tentative site plan and design a mockup for your approval.
3. Production After you approve the site plan and design mockup, we start a-building! We'll set a timeline before we begin, so you'll know how long it will take and can follow the process along. When we're done, we post the site to a pre-launch location so you can review it and request any final changes before the site goes live.
4. Review This phase addresses any questions or issues you have so we can resolve them before the site launches.
5. Launch After we get your final sign-off on the site we'll make it live so anyone on the Internet can see it. To do this it must be hosted, which we can do or we can work with a host of your choice. Either way, your website will be launched efficiently and can then begin impressing the pants off of web surfers worldwide!
As you can see, our process leaves no stone unturned in the quest for a great site. So view our web design portfolio, and then contact us to get started creating the best website ever!

The latest skiff to be launced on the Clyde will be at Fairlie Beach, North end of Bay Street, at 12:30 on Saturday. All welcome to attend and enjoy the informal BBQ and get together.
Troon will be bringing one of their skiffs.
The outcome of the rowing meeting today is as follows, having taken into account the availability of members who would like to compete and can commit to training we will be attending Troon's regatta on the 8th of June, The Comet Festival in Port Glasgow on the 22nd of June (RWSABC Regatta will form part of the festival events, a function back at the club at night is proposed) The world Championships in Ullapool from the 9th of July, the Sail and Oar festival on Cumbrae on the 10-11 of August, North Berwick regatta on the 24-25 of August, Queensferry regatta on the 31st of August. Along with the regatta entries the Saturday morning squad plan a long row up the Clyde towards Dumbarton / River leven on the 24th of August as this date best suits the tides, anyone wanting to come along on this this will be more than welcome. More details on the regatta events can be found on the Scottish Coastal Rowing website if you would like to go along.
In addition to the regatta discussions we noted the need to increase the training opportunities for everyone competing at the World Championships, again the biggest obstacle to training being availability and time constraints. To try and find a compromise and increase the training opportunities we have agreed that every Saturday Morning starting on the 4th of May from 9.15 will be a specific 2K World Championship training session for everyone committed to attending the Championships. There will be a race practice times recording form in the racing shed where on return from the water the COX should add the fastest time over the course, the date, the names and position of the crew when the time was set. The Tuesday and Thursday Nights from 6.30 continue to be club nights. Thursday night Rowing continues to be open to people who would like to come along and give fixed seat give rowing a go.
If you have any questions regarding the worlds or would like compete / take part in any of the above please contact myself or Adam Graham via the club website.

Here is another Indian scrambled egg breakfast that is much less piquant than the Punjabi-style scrambled eggs that I made last week, but has the warm, earthy fragrance of fried mushrooms and scallions that makes it a nourishing, delicious and colourful plate on a cold autumn morning, wonderful with buttered toast and some fresh fruit. Like many of the simple dishes that I like to make, this recipe — called "khumbi wala khichri unda" — is taken with only minor modifications from Madhur Jaffrey's wonderful World Vegetarian Cookbook.

Wednesday, January 30 12:43:28
The ISEQ treaded water today, awaiting leads on the macro-economic and earnings fronts.
By 12.30, the index was down 3.99 points to 3,552.02.
European shares fell from two-year highs today, dragged lower by concerns over earnings in the tobacco and oil services sectors, including a profit warning from Italy's Saipem.
Shares in Smurfit Kappa fell 10c to E10.40. The latest FOEX data, released this morning, shows that European OCC prices have increased for the second consecutive week. OCC prices increased by E0.12/tonne to E108.26/tonne. In addition, the tone of the FOEX commentary is positive noting that purchasing activity in China has picked up and European demand has improved. "While we have the price increase almost fully incorporated in our models, successful implementation will underpin forecasts and has historically been a positive catalyst for the share prices of Smurfit Kappa and DS Smith. We reiterate our BUY recommendation on Smurfit Kappa and DS Smith," said Goodbody Stockbrokers.
Kenmare issued a Trading Update this morning the main points of which were confirmation of price weakness particularly for zircon and the high-end of the TiO2 (rutile) markets as the year drew to a close, but also additional delays towards the completion of the Phase II expansion programme. As usual, commentary on pricing is more of a subjective, rather than absolute nature, though we would point to the Iluka statement on January 17th, which outlined an average Q4 zircon price of $1,449 per tonne, compared to an FY13 spot zircon price in our model of $1,750/tonne. Its shares were flat at E0.40.
