Cisco Basics: Spanning Tree
Spanning Tree is a network protocol designed to prevent network loops. A loop exists at Layer 2 of the OSI model where there are multiple paths between any two devices. If you draw out a network diagram consisting of multiple switches, and can connect any two devices in more than one way there is potentially a loop in your network.
Loops cause problems when it comes to broadcast traffic. When a device sends a broadcast frame a switch will see it and forward the frame out of all ports except the one it received it on. With loops in the network this means that the frame will be broadcast indefinitely, as a switch will see the frame more than once.
Spanning Tree was introduced to prevent switching loops, but also allows for some redundancy in the design of a network. Spanning Tree will have a view of a network and calculates the most efficient paths between switches. Should a connection between switches fail a spare path that would have previously created a loop will become available in around a minute.
Traditionally when you plug a switch into a network it will immediately begin forwarding data, with spanning tree a device first waits to receive special frames known as BPDU's. Each switch port will go through a series of states whilst waiting for these frames.

Cisco Basics: Access Lists
Access lists allow you to group network objects such as IP addresses, services or users and act upon that information. They are most commonly used to permit or deny certain types of traffic though they are used for a variety of other things (filtering out routes for example).
Cisco IOS routers and switches have two types of access control list:
- Standard
Can only filter based on source IP address - Extended
Can filter based on source or destination IP address, or certain Layer-4 protocols such as TCP or UDP
When configuring access control lists (ACL's) they can be configured as either numbered on named. Numbered ACL's can not be edited once created. To alter a numbered ACL it must be removed and re-created. Named ACL's can be modified after creation.
Cisco Basics: NAT and PAT
Address Translation commonly referred to as either NAT or PAT is the process of altering traffic as it passes through a router so that it appears to come from different addresses. Address translation is particularly useful due to the limited supply of IPv4 addresses. Networks can have a much larger number of internal-only addresses behind a smaller number (usually one) public internet address.
The translation process is performed by a router usually on the edge of a network, connecting to an internet service provider. In routed networks usually just the source and destination MAC address are changed as they pass through routers, with address translation the source IP address (and port) is also changed.
Generally speaking, there are two types of address translation:
Network Address Translation translates the source address to one from a list of public addresses. The downside to this approach is that for each internal host on the network you also need an external address. - PAT
Port Address Translation usually has a single outside IP address and alters the source port when traffic leaves the router, that way traffic can be mapped back to internal addresses
Cisco has a few different NAT configurations depending on the scenario, I'll cover them in more detail below. Before we get started, let's assume we have the following configuration:
! Internal interface representing a LAN interface FastEthernet0/1 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 ! Outside interface representing the internet interface FastEthernet0/2 ip address 188.8.131.52 255.255.255.0
The first thing we need to do is specify which interface is inside our network and which is outside:
Router(config)# int Fa0/1 Router(config-if)# ip nat inside Router(config-if)# int Fa0/2 Router(config-if)# ip nat outside
When executing the "ip nat inside/outside" commands the router may hang for a second, it's normal behaviour. This doesn't usually happen in Packet Tracer but may do on production devices.

Before I introduce you to these magical cookies, let's talk about the events leading up to their purchase. I was doing some blog stalking, when I read about Hershey's Pumpkin Spice Kisses on Brooke's blog. As I gasped with excitement, I gchatted Amanda: "Omg, did you see Brooke's pumpkin spice kisses?!" She replied, "Yes, I need those!" Duh! I commented on Brooke's blog about running to Publix on my lunch break for them but she posted on my Facebook wall saying they were exclusive to Target. People, this was serious business. The Pumpkin Spice Kisses conversation went from her blog, to Gchat, to Facebook. And rest assured, BBM was used later.
As soon as I got home from work, I told Boding we were going to Target. I no longer have to ask him to go to Target with me – it is understood that he always wants to go. On the way there, I saw the most magnificent looking creature – a giant poodle! Thank goodness for stop lights because I really needed to snap a photo of him.
No big deal, just a giant fluff ball walking down Rifle Range Road. Boding called me the "Epic Creeper" because I snapped another one. I loved him!
Probably not a good idea.
I realized I was wasting precious baking time, and we migrated to the Halloween section. And there they were. Those tiny seasonal gems that would soon be incorporated into a cookie!
I also picked up a bag of these for fun:
So then Boding wanted his favorite candy: Sour Patch Chillers. But….they were out.
Somebody was not happy.
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- dash of salt
- 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 24 Hershey's Pumpkin Spice Kisses
Bake for 14 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Meanwhile, start unwrapping the kisses. Yes, I am a bit anal retentive at times, and I like things in order. I wish this was true for the inside of my car.
As soon as the cookies are done, immediately press a kiss into the center. Transfer to a rack and cool. Enjoy!
Has anyone else found any fun Halloween candy that's new to them this year? Apparently these kisses came out in 2008. Where was my head then? Also, are you dressing up for Halloween this year?

We'll spend $18.6 billion this Valentine's Day
Those little candy hearts add up.
You can't buy love, but we sure do spend a lot to honor it. The countdown to Valentine's Day has begun—only nine more days—and the National Retail Foundation has released their annual spending survey.
This Valentine's Day, the average person is expected to shell out a little over $130 to say 'I love you' with candy, gifts and flowers.
More on MSN Living: 8 signs you're too bossy in bed
And while we spent an impressive $17 billion in 2012, we're expected to outdo ourselves in 2013, spending a total of $18.6 billion. Seems like a lot, but the National Retail Foundation (NRF) actually points out that this is a "slight increase."
So what kind of gifts are we all buying for a cool, collective $18 billion?
The NRF estimates that both traditional and non-traditional gifts will be popular this year. More than half of us (51 percent) will buy candy, and 36 percent will pick up a bouquet for our Valentine.
More on MSN Living: What his sex signals really mean
Nineteen percent of gift-givers are expected to buy jewelry, putting a $4.4 billion dent in that grand total. Surprisingly, gift cards are expected to be popular, too—15 percent of consumers will purchase one for their loved one.
Men will spend an average of $175 on these gifts, while women will fork over $88.
Candy and flowers are expected to remain the most popular gifts, but guys might want to proceed with caution. According to a recent survey, women are over the traditional Valentine's Day gift of chocolate and red roses. A ProFlowers poll sent to The Heart Beat found that 31 percent of women think red roses are cliché, and 21 percent say it's not a very creative gift.
That might be something to consider before you contribute to that $18 billion.

I think that this day has become very commercialized. You don't need nor should you have one special day to declare your love for a person. This should be shown on a continuous basis. It seems like people are always trying to "outdo" each other with big and splashy declarations...do you not realize that it is the little things each day that mean the most? Those tender endearments remain in your heart forever. When you feel obligated to "do" Valentine's Day, that is when you cheapen the entire concept.
A gift should not immerse me deeper in debt even if it is not "very creative" I am personally sick for a gift having to be shown on some big stadium screen for it to be considered original. I want to suppose that a rose is always welcome and that a kiss will show her that she is the one I prefer.
That, or a couple of days on some secluded sunny beach will certainly make it memorable
This day is over-rated.......love should be celebrated every day, no "holiday" needed....how sad is it, too that a man would buy his lady red roses and chocolate and the a third of women are like "Eh, typical...."? That's what happens when it becomes expected!! Now if on June 23rd (random day), he decides to SURPRISE her with that, it'll be received much better and appreciated much more!!!!

Your Comments
I enjoy listening to your show, while I work in my art studio, I especially enjoyed the program today with Sarah Kay it was so inspiring and interesting.I hope you continue doing this good work for many many years, it truly is appreciated.
I had the opportunity to listen to Sarah Kay's wonderful poem about Noor Ibrahim. I have been to District 6 when just a remnant of the Indian neighborhood remained. Her story about the museum reminded me of the small museum that used to be in St. Paul's church in NY near the World Trade Center that briefly commemorated the rescue efforts. I could not bear to be inside for long and went outside, leaned against the iron fence and nearly collapsed crying. How could such terrible things like the bombing of the WTC or destruction of District 6 occur due to political orthodoxy? As you might guess from my last name, I am Jewish; I walked into a church; District 6 was mixed. Her poem brought that same grief and tears into my eyes. It was the same grief I felt during the wars in the former Yugoslavia when mixed communities were slaughtered or chased at gunpoint into ethnic enclave. I remembered, then, not the violence of apartheid but its terrible wastefulness and loss of human contact. I wanted to buy a 'black' record and it could only be purchased in a 'black' designated district where I could go. It was just a record but also a sign of how total the violence forced against daily life, like the public bath that no longer existed after the destruction of District 6. Thank you four presenting her work, listening to the Tshotshaloza song and the chance to re-experience my connecting grief about our world. May we live together in peace.

Like-Minded Conversations
A poet and self-described literary activist, E. Ethelbert Miller attended Howard University in 1968 — the age in which Black Power was finding its voice. He has remained there ever since, observing and making sense of the trajectory of black history and culture. He pushes at the parameters within which mainstream America routinely sees what he calls "blackness."
Poetry is something many of us seem to be hungry for these days. We're hungry for fresh ways to tell hard truths and redemptive stories, for language that would elevate and embolden rather than demean and alienate. Elizabeth Alexander shares her sense of what poetry works in us — and in our children — and why it may become more relevant, not less so, in hard and complicated times.

Year One
Director : Harold Ramis
Screenplay : Harold Ramis & Gene Stupnitsky & Lee Eisenberg (story by Harold Ramis)
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 2009
Stars : Jack Black (Zed), Michael Cera (Oh), Oliver Platt (High Priest), David Cross (Cain), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Isaac), Vinnie Jones (Sargon), Hank Azaria (Abraham), Juno Temple (Eema), Olivia Wilde (Princess Inanna), June Diane Raphael (Maya), Xander Berkeley (King), Gia Carides (Queen), Horatio Sanz (Enmebaragesi), David Pasquesi (Prime Minister), Matthew Willig (Marlak)
In theory, Jack Black and Michael Cera, the stars of Harold Ramis's prehistoric comedy Year One, should make the perfect odd couple. Everything about them--both physically and behaviorally--is contradictory. Black is stout and compact, which heightens his energy, whereas Cera is long and lean, which plays into his shy geniality. Black's comedy emanates directly from his anarchic spirit and love of all things crass, which is accentuated by his devilish leer and cocked eyebrows, while Cera's comedy comes from a deep well of insecurity and general confusion, which is captured so well in the blank stare you often see on posters bearing his visage (the film's one-sheet captures this School of Rock vs. Superbad dynamic quite perfectly in its close-ups of the two actors). It's a shame, then, that their pairing in Year One doesn't yield more. There are certainly some funny moments, the best of which derive from Black and Cera's awkward interactions as mutual outcasts in their primitive forest society, but much of the movie feels like it should be funnier than it is.
The screenplay by director Harold Ramis, Gene Stupnitsky, and Lee Eisenberg (the latter two of whom are veterans of The Office) seems like it emerged from the same brainstorming session that produced Roland Emmerich's 10,000 B.C. (2008), with the two groups of writers parting ways over the question of whether the material is better served as a goofy comedy or quasi-serious historical epic. Both movies feature primitive characters discovering more advanced civilizations that consequently enslave their loved ones and force them to fight for their lives, but Year One treats everything as a cosmic joke. The emphasis on a specific date in the title of both films provides its own kind of amusement since neither film has any aspirations to anything resembling actual historical veracity, but rather plunders the kitschiest of pop-culture history lessons to weave its storyline. For Year One's purposes, this primarily involves using the first few chapters of the Book of Genesis as a backdrop for the humor of disconnect, with Black and Cera playing their characters Zed and Oh as if they have been unknowingly time-warped from the present tense.
After being kicked out of their hunter/gatherer tribe for being either an incompetent hunter (in Black's case) or a competent gatherer who shouldn't be so proud to be competent at "women's work" (in Cera's case), Zed and Oh set out to form their own tribe, along the way crossing paths with many familiar Biblical characters--familiar in name, at least, since I don't remember any Sunday School lessons involving Abraham's (Hank Azaria) obsession with circumcision. For that matter, I don't remember anything about Cain (David Cross) joining the royal guard in Sodom, either, or Abraham's son Isaac (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) being an obnoxious snot. But, such is the tenor of Year One, which throws its comedy around with semi-reckless abandon, but never quite achieves more than a few good chuckles. Black and Cera give it their all, as does Oliver Platt in a swishy performance as an oil-loving hirsute high priest, but it feels like a lot of energy extended for too little pay-off.

ASU-UA baseball: Much at stake for rivals in Pac-12 series
No. 15 Arizona State is trying to lock down a NCAA regional host berth in its final Pac-12 home series against Arizona. Don't be lulled into believing there is a big difference between the Arizona State and Arizona baseball teams. There wasn't last season -- when UA won the College World Series and ASU sat out the postseason due to NCAA violations -- and there isn't now even though the Sun Devils are projected to as a regional host and the Wildcats are scrambling to find a way into the 64-team NCAA field. ASU has five fewer losses, plus a tie, than UA and a four-game edge in Pac-12 standings. In the NCAA ratings percentage index, ASU is No. 17 and UA is No. 86. The Boyd's World power ratings put ASU at No. 13 with strength of schedule at No. 15 and UA at No. 58 (No. 63 SOS). Perfect Game, SouthEastern Baseball and Chasing Omaha are predicting that ASU will be one of 16 NCAA regional hosts, announced May 26. I'm not so sure unless the Sun Devils make up three games to tie UCLA for third in the Pac-12. Yes, four Pac-12 teams hosted regionals last year but for that to happen two years in a row in addition to Cal State Fullerton hosting could be a stretch for the West. No. 4-ranked Oregon State, No. 5 CS Fullerton and No. 6 Oregon are expected to be among the eight national seeds, meaning they would not only host a regional but potentially a super regional. No. 10 UCLA is a likely regional host although the Bruins have six road games remaining vs. USC and Stanford plus a non-conference home game against UC Santa Barbara. No. 15 ASU finishes at home vs. UA for three games starting tonight, non-conference vs. BYU on Tuesday and at Washington for three next weekend. Baseball America's most recent regional forecast is that ASU will not host, meaning the Sun Devils could get sent to Cal State Fullerton where they lost in 2001 and '04 regionals and 2003 super regional before finally winning a super regional in 2005. So there are major stakes beyond the rivalry and the overall Territorial Cup Series in what almost certainly will be a high-scoring series at Packard Stadium. ASU and UA are in the top three of every major Pac-12 offensive category and combined for 31 runs in splitting two non-conference games. Of course, the best starting pitchers weren't available for the games in Tucson and could make a difference in at least one of the games. The opener of last year's Pac-12 rivalry series was a pitching duel between Brady Rodgers and Kurt Heyer with UA winning 1-0. ASU won 9-7 in game 2 when UA won 8-7 in the finale before a 10-0 run through the postseason to its fourth national title. Here are the scheduled pitching match-ups: ASU's Trevor Williams (5-5, 3.59 ERA) vs. UA's Konner Wade (4-6, 4.38) at 6:30 tonight, Ryan Kellogg (10-0, 3.36) vs. James Farris (4-5, 4.20) at 6:30 p.m. Saturday and Zak Miller (4-0, 4.28) vs. Tyler Crawford (5-2, 4.02) at 12:30 p.m. Sunday. Williams shut out Cal for seven innings last week in one of his best performances of the season but took a 3-1 loss. Kellogg has two straight no-decisions, allowing seven runs in seven innings against Stanford on May 4 then being knocked out after 2.2 innings at Cal. "That might have been a blessing," ASU coach Tim Esmay said of Kellogg throwing just 54 pitches last week. "Most freshmen recently haven't been thrown in the fire as early as we did with him. Sometimes you need to get some freshness back. Sometimes it's a freshman wall from a mental standpoint as in it's not that easy. You've got to take your licks a little bit and see the response. I think it's going to be a plus for him from a physical and mental standpoint." Former starter Adam McCreery has given ASU two quality relief appearances in the last three games, giving up two hits and no runs in a combined 7.2 innings. Brett Lilek worked one clean inning, striking out two, in the Cal finale, his first appearance since March 17 due to shoulder issues. "The biggest positive of the whole (Cal) weekend was the way he handled it and neutralized them," Esmay said before McCreery did the same thing vs. Texas Tech on Wednesday. "Then obviously getting Lilek back and the way he threw that one inning was the Lilek we had before he got hurt. That's a huge bullet we can use as we go forward." Since 2007, ASU is 20-11 vs. UA. There is no television coverage of the rivalry series, a chance from the original Pac-12 Network schedule. Instead, ASU's final two games at Washington will be televised. ASU football coach Todd Graham will sign autographs for 45 minutes before tonight's game on the third-base concourse and throw out the first pitch. The Territorial Cup will be on display for fans to view and take photos. On Saturday, Homes Fur Good and the Luv of Dogz Fund will be outside Packard Stadium from 5-7 p.m. for Adopt-A-Dog Night. ASU's Alex Blackford, Matt Dunbar and Max Rossiter will be honored Sunday on Senior Day. They graduated this spring as did juniors Miller and Billy Young and former ASU shortstop Deven Marrero.
Fourth Territorial Cup Series comes down to baseball
Former ASU wide receiver Keith Poole poses with the Territorial Cup Depending on whether men's indoor track counts or not, Arizona State either leads the Territorial Cup Series or is tied with Arizona going into the Pac-12 baseball series between the rivals starting Friday in Tempe. When the series was sponsored by State Farm, men's indoor track was not among the 18 sports included in deciding which school had the better athletic year. UA won all three of those school years: 10.5 points to 7.5 in 2009-10, 11.5-6.5 in 2010-11 and 12.5-5.5 in 2011-12. There is no title sponsor for 2012-13. ASU is counting men's indoor track in saying it holds a 9.5-8.5 lead after outdoor track points were decided at the Pac-12 Championships. Or if you prefer the previous scoring rules, the rivals are tied at 8.5. Perhaps athletic directors Steve Patterson and Greg Byrne can have some sort of duel to decided the men's indoor track debate. Either way, the baseball affects the outcome. Either ASU wins outright for the first time, UA wins again (not counting men's indoor track) or the series goes to a tiebreaker, which is highest finish in the Directors' Cup standings. UA is No. 14 in the Directors' Cup through winter standings with a 125-point lead No. 30 ASU. The baseball teams split their two non-conference games so the Territorial Cup point goes to the school that takes 2-of-3 or sweeps at Packard Stadium. No. 17 ASU is fighting to be a NCAA regional host while defending College World Series champion UA is not likely to make the 64-team NCAA Tournament field.
City of Phoenix, Grand Canyon University could partner on Olympic-size pool
Eetu Karvonen won five NCAA Division II titles at Grand Canyon University and was second in the 100-meter breaststroke at the Arena Grand Prix in Mesa. While Preserving Community Aquatics continues its crusade to save the Phoenix Swim Club pool, the city of Phoenix is in talks with Grand Canyon University about a partnership that could make the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials warm-up pool into the new home for the Antelopes swim teams. The GCU swim teams currently train at the Phoenix Swim Club pool at 29th Street and Campbell. Brophy Prep plans to sell that 10-acre property to Ryland Homes for a reported $6.8 million with the competition, training pools and grounds to be replaced by 35 two-story homes. Those in the neighborhood opposed to the new homes, working as Preserving Community Aquatics, are asking that a special use permit attached to the property be retained in any sale so that a buyer would continue to use the property for recreation rather than housing. Public meetings about the special permit and pool's future were postponed until September through November, when it is scheduled to finally reach the Phoenix City Council. "We need to move forward and make plans where we control our own destiny," GCU swim coach Steve Schaffer said. "We have no interest in telling Brophy what to do with their land. I think that whole fight is a lost cause." Schaffer is assuming for now that his teams will be forced to find a new training site by December. He has contingency plans to cover training needs through summer 2014 but said "we have to have somewhere else to go" by late August 2014. A meeting that 2000 Olympic swim gold medalist Misty Hyman helped to organize was held April 19 to discuss options for a new Olympic-size pool in Phoenix. "She brought together all of the partners and users of that facility (Phoenix Swim Club pool)," Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton said. Hyman suffered a torn ACL in her knee in a skiing accident April 10 that required surgery to replace, three days after the swim meeting. The 34-year-old is getting married July 6. "They promised me I will be walking and dancing, but maybe not break dancing," Hyman said. The main takeaway from the meeting she arranged was that Phoenix is willing to offer land for an aquatic center to a private group willing to take on the cost of construction and upkeep. "With Grand Canyon's involvement, I think there is a real possibility," Stanton said. "There's a lot of planning to go. We know there has to be an an Olympic-size swimming facility in this community. The fact Grand Canyon is willing to partner with a lot of the community-based groups including high school swim teams gives me a lot of optimism." Schaffer's proposal to Bob Machen, GCU senior vice president for campus development, and athletic officials is that GCU purchase the 50-meter warm-up pool used at the 2008 Olympic Trials in Omaha and install it in the ground, ideally on land adjacent to campus that Phoenix would provide. Myrtha Pools built portable competition and warm-up pools for the last three Olympic Trials then put them in storage until a buyer is found. Schaffer said the cost to purchase the 2008 pool and for excavation would be $2.5 million with additional funds needed for decking, support buildings and landscaping. "I'm very hopeful it will work out," Schaffer said. "I was encouraged by the meeting with Mayor Stanton. It comes down to how GCU's leadership feels about the land (offer) and does that make sense for the expenditure. The city is anxious to make something like this work, and Grand Canyon is the only player with the capital to put this together." GCU athletics is transitioning into Division I in 2013-14 and joining the Western Athletic Conference. Teams will not be eligible for NCAA Championships during a four-year reclassification period during which the school gains full Division I status. The Grand Canyon men's swim team took fourth at the NCAA Division II Championships in March with Eetu Karvonen of Finland winning both breaststroke titles. Karvonen followed up with a second-place finish in the 100-meter breast at the Arena Grand Prix in Mesa. Schaffer will coach Karvonen and the Finnish team at the World University Games, July 6-17 in Kazan, Russia, and Karvonen also is qualified for the World Championships, July 19-Aug. 4 in Barcelona. The next Arena Grand Prix stop in Charlotte is Thursday-Saturday. Tyler Clary now has a four-point lead over Ryan Lochte in men's overall Grand Prix standings with Missy Franklin ahead by 48 points on the women's side. The Grand Prix finale is May 30-June 2 in Santa Clara, Calif.
ASU gets first 2014 women's basketball commitment
Guard/forward Nicole Iademarco (shooting) of The Woodlands, Texas, is Arizona State's first 2014 women's basketball commitment. Guard/forward Nicole Iademarco of The Woodlands, Texas, is Arizona State's first women's basketball commitment for the class of 2014. The 6-1 Iademarco averaged 12.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 3.1 steals as a junior, earning district first team honors. She also plays for the Cy-Fair club team in Houston. "She's one of the best shooters I've coached," said Cy-Fair's Rob Amboree, who worked with Nnemkadi and Chiney Ogwumike in their pre-Stanford days. "She has an uncanny ability to hit open 3's. That stands out the most and her ability to handle the ball at 6-1. I would say she's the best shooter in the city, if not the top two or three." Iademarco plays point guard in high school but likely will be a small forward at ASU. "She has a great outside shot and a great first step," said Dana Bruton, The Woodlands coach. "She's learning to post up. She gives you a lot of depth." Iademarco also visited USC and Arizona and considered Ivy League schools such as Princeton and Penn plus Rice and Missouri. "I just felt there was no point in waiting any more," she said Monday. "ASU is where I want to be. The coaches are great. I think I'm going to go into the honors college. The weather is great. It's where I want to be." So too does Madison McDaniel, outside hitter/setter for The Woodlands volleyball team who is committed to ASU where she also will begin her career in fall 2014. Iademarco is the first high school women's basketball commitment from Texas in recent memory. Breanna Burton of Western Texas College recently transferred to ASU and will contend to start at point guard. Natalie Tucker started 87 games at point guard from 1999-2001 after transferring from Texas A&M. "She's going to help ASU out a lot," Amboree said. "She has a great work ethic and is a great kid to coach all-around." ASU is expected to sign four players in November because it will lose four seniors -- Deja Mann, Joy Burke, Adrianne Thomas and Nisha Barrett -- after the 2013-14 season.

ASU women's basketball adds six to eight returners

After officially signing junior college point guard Breanna Burton and high school center Quinn Dornstauder on Wednesday, Arizona State's women's basketball roster is set for the 2013-14 season.
Six players including senior guard Deja Mann, who missed the recent 13-18 season (no postseason for the first time in 14 years) due to knee surgery, will join eight returners for a 14-player roster. Starters Joy Burke, Promise Amukamara and Adrianne Thomas are back although the latter two will face competition to retain their spots.
Mann, transfer Katie Hempen and Burton will push to start on the perimeter. Mann started 46 consecutive games through the 2011-12 season when was All Pac-12 honorable mention. The plan for this season was that Mann would play shooting guard, instead of point, and that is where coach Charli Turner Thorne still wants to employ her next season.
The 5-7 Burton, from Los Angeles and most recently Western Texas College, will compete with Thomas and Elisha Davis at point guard. Hempen, Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Year at Southern Illinois Edwardsville in 2011-12 will battle for the small forward job with Arnecia Hawkins and Isidora Purkovic likely backing up Mann at shooting guard.
Turner Thorne said Burton is "a really skilled scoring point guard. She adds to our overall skill level and ability to get the ball in the basket. She has an amazing quick first step defensively and kind of Bri-like quickness," referring to former ASU guard Briann January.
"All three (Mann, Hempen and Burton) can put the ball in the basket. A team like Louisville shows that can take you a long way." Louisville knocked off defending national champion Baylor en route to its own NCAA title-game appearance.
ASU has struggled offensively for four seasons, averaging less than 60 points during the last two. The Sun Devils have been under 40 percent shooting from the field for three straight seasons and under 30 percent from 3-point for four in a row, a mammoth drop from 39.3 (No. 3 nationally) in 2008-09. This season, ASU was outscored by an average of 0.9 points, ranking No. 176 nationally in scoring margin.
If the Sun Devils can finally shoot better and extends defenses, they will open up their post game for 6-5 senior center Burke and five others. They lose forward Janae Fulcher, their leading scorer, but pick up three freshmen: Kelsey Moos, Sophie Brunner and 6-3 Canadian Dornstauder. Other returning posts are Eliza Normen and Nisha Barrett.
Turner Thorne said Dornstauder "has a great presence about her. She can come in and learn well, she's brilliant in classroom. Her length and her wingspan could be every bit as long as Joy's or longer. She is good shot blocker. Those are things you can't coach."
Dornstauder and Purkovic are candidates to play for Canada at the U19 World Championships, July 18-28 in Lithuania. If so they will miss out of summer practice -- maximum 16 weeks for eight weeks -- now allowed in NCAA women's basketball.
"Everything we're doing this spring is trying to separate players in terms of toughness and seeing where everybody is at," Turner Thorne said. "This year we didn't have separation." That and skill development will continue during the summer.
Former ASU forward Kayli Murphy is joining Turner Thorne's staff as a manager/graduate assistant next season while she works toward a master's degree in child development. "It's awesome to have people with a great sense of ASU and our tradition," Turner Thorne said. "That's a recipe that works for a lot of top programs."
ASU non-conference opponents next season include Syracuse (No. 17 Sagarin power ratings), at Texas Tech (No. 30), Miami (No. 42), at San Diego (No. 69), Harvard (No. 102), Hawaii (No. 125) and Sacred Heart (No. 164). The Sun Devils were No. 105 Sagarin.
Tyler Clary switches gears from swimming to auto racing
2012 Olympic gold medalist Tyler Clary reacts after winning his third event, 200 butterfly, at the Arena Grand Prix in Mesa. Tyler Clary moves into the overall men's points lead in the Grand Prix swim series after his three victories in Mesa last week, turning an eight-point deficit into a four-point lead over Ryan Lochte. Clary will try to follow up with a win in his second love, auto racing, Saturday at the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race in Long Beach. Jessica Hardy, who also swam in Mesa and like Clary was a gold medalist at the London Olympics, also is in the Toyota field along with Jenna Elfman, Jesse Metcalfe (no relation, but I'll pull for him), Adam Carolla, Wanda Sykes, Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer and a bunch of others I've never heard of. Hallmark Channel host Mark Steines is a 6-1 favorite according to Las Vegas handicapper Anthony Curtis, who puts Clary's odds at 10-1. Clary, 24, is serious about racing as he explained to me after winning the 400-meter IM and 200 backstroke at Skyline Aquatic Center. He later added another win in the 200 butterfly and was the only male swimmer to win more than twice in Mesa. After London, where he won the 200 back and was fifth in the 200 fly, Clary took three months completely off from swimming, gained 30 pounds and leveraged his Olympic success into opening racing doors. "I got to do the Skip Barber Racing School and I was selected for the Skip Barber IndyCar Academy as well," he said. "Things like that take away from training a little bit but at the same time it keeps your mind fresh. For me it's something nice because I get to think about that when I'm training every day." Clary said he's asked often, as I did, about his preference for Indy cars over NASCAR. "I appreciate all forms of racing for certain specific things," he said. "I really like open wheel cars because they're purpose built race cars, but at the same time stock cars are going so fast. They weigh like 3,400 pounds, they have very little down force and almost half the mechanical grip that an Indy car does. And they're controlling those things around a track. I had a chance to drive a Pro Cup car late last year for SR2 Motorsports and did a little bit of testing. It was amazing to feel how squirrely those cars are on track compared to any kind of open wheel car. Somebody put it to me in the best way I've ever heard it is that trying to drive a stock car at high speed is like trying to drive a fully loaded school bus at 120 on ice. Just getting into that car and feeling not just how hard it to control one of those cars at the edge but the heat that you have to do deal with on an hourly basis. It makes me respect those drivers a lot more." Clary said he'll get back to serious swim training soon in Ann Arbor, Mich., to prepare for the World Championships Trials, June 25-29 in Indianapolis. "I know there's been some fast swimming going on internationally so I've got a lot of work to do," he said. Like other swimmers, Clary was impressed by Mesa's debut as a Grand Prix host: "The organizing staff has done a fantastic job handling the crowd. I'd even venture to say it's one of the better jobs I've seen in awhile, and the pool is absolutely fantastic. "It's interesting to see more and more pool facilities like this popping up around the country. Not only do they have the great competition size pool, but they've got the setups for multiple short course pools along with a water park to make it more general use as well. It's very well planned."
Arena Grand Prix in Mesa draws raves from world's best swimmers
Six-time Olympic medalist Matt Grevers of Tucson says the Arena Grand Prix in Mesa is the best Grand Prix meet he's attended. With the combined experience of USA Swimming and host Mesa Aquatics Club, there was little doubt that the inaugural Arena Grand Prix would succeed at some level. But for some of the best swimmers in the world to elevate the three-day meet to best-ever category is "humbling, energizing and motivating," Paul Smith, Mesa Aquatics CEO, said Sunday. "We want to take this thing and run with it." The meet was an operational and competitive success with times exceeding what could be expected early in the long-course season. 16-year-old Katie Ledecky was among those tearing up Skyline Aquatic Center, in its elite debut, with some of the fastest distance freestyle swims in the world this year. After Natalie Coughlin swam a personal best 24.90 seconds in the 50-meter freestyle at age 30, Matt Grevers felt pressure just to best Coughlin in the men's 50 free final. He did but his 23.94 was only good for eighth place. "Grand Prixs are special events for National team members and Olympians," Smith said. "It brings those special athletes together. They often rise above times where they should be swimming.Just think of the record board next year. There are maybe five facilities out there with a 21.7 50 free," the winning time by Nathan Adrian. On Sunday, the international swimming federation (FINA) web site listed more than 40 times from Mesa among the top 25 in the world this year. That's great advertising on its own for a meet that will return to Skyline for the next three years and beyond if Smith has his way. "We were prepared to build over four years and peak at end of the cycle," Smith said. "The fact so many (elite) swimmers committed to this first one pushed everything forward. It raises the bar for us. Our learning curve is over in a three-day cycle instead of three- or four-year cycle." Saturday's final sold out, and Smith thinks that could happen for all three finals sessions next year since the Skyline seating capacity is locked in at approximately 1,500 short of a major financial commitment for a second level of bleachers. The meet will be held a week later in the future. That's April 17-19 in 2014, ending a day before Easter. Smith expects entrants to rise each year leading up to 2016, when it could approach a capacity 600 just months before the U.S. Olympic Trials for the Rio Games. Here are some of the comments about the first Grand Prix in Arizona since 1997. Six-time Olympic medalist Grevers of Tucson: "It's been an incredible meet. The fans are so great. They want some autographs and pictures and they're so nice about it, forming great lines and not swarming you. There was water and drinks everywhere around the deck. It's so hospitable here. This is probably the best Grand Prix I've been to. I'm glad Arizona has a Grand Prix and hopefully we can keep it here." Five-time Olympic medalist Missy Franklin said hospitality at the Arena Grand Prix in Mesa was at "an entirely different level." Five-time London Olympic medalist Missy Franklin: "I think this is probably my favorite Grand Prix. The pool, the facility is unbelievable. It's gorgeous. Just being outdoors gives meets such a different kind of relaxing feel to it. It's nice not to be cooped up. This area in Mesa is just gorgeous, and the hospitality here has been out of this world. I told Paul Smith the hospitality has been on an entirely different level. "It's been so sweet to have people constantly asking do you need anything, what can we get for you. It's so humbling to see people do that, and I've loved being here. They did absolutely an incredible job. I can't wait to come back." Breeja Larson of Mesa, London Olympic relay gold medalist and winner of two events in her hometown: "I think the best part is it's just been fun. I talked to a lot of the other Olympians and swimmers and they love this meet, and I know a lot of them want to come back next year. The vibe is great, it's really relaxed and calm. It's out in the open, fresh air, by the mountains." Three-time South African Olympian Darian Townsend of Tucson: "Previous years when we've done the Grand Prix Series, we've always had to travel pretty much to the East Coast to do Grand Prixs. Now having one on this side is great for us and good for the country too. You want to spread it out. All the people on the West Coast get to watch what the international and world-class swimmers can do at meet like this. Come 2016, this will be a packed meet for sure." 11-time Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte: "I don't even think I've ever been in Arizona. I got to hand it to you. Great facility and the weather is perfect. I'm getting my little tan on, doing a little fast swimming so I'm loving it. The fans here are great." Frank Busch, USA National team and former University of Arizona coach: "Wonderful facility, wonderful people, all the people who have worked so hard to put this together have done a great job. This is certainly a place we're all very, very happy with. I had no idea it (Skyline) had this amount of space, the grounds, just how well kept it is. The excitement of being outside for the majority of the people here, we needed to do this." Arizona Grand Prix champions Only three times from the 1996 and '97 Grand Prix meets at the Phoenix Swim Club stood up to the times recorded over the weekend at the inaugural Arena Grand Prix in Mesa. The 1996 meet included most of the U.S. team already chosen for the Atlanta Olympics. Marks still standing are Misty Hyman's in the 100-meter butterfly, Bela Szabados' in the 400 freestyle and Eric Namesnik's in the 400 IM. Most of the winning times at Skyline Aquatic Center were a vast improvement over the 1996 and '97 times. Almost half of the 2012 U.S. Olympic team was in Mesa. WOMEN

ASU women missed out on Schimmel but still looking for Native Americans
The Schimmel sisters -- Jude (22) and Shoni (23) -- are Native Americans from Oregon. They will play for the NCAA women's basketball title against Connecticut. Arizona State women's basketball initially recruited Shoni Schimmel, who will try to lead Louisville to a national championship tonight against Connecticut. Schimmel and her sister Jude, who also plays for the Cardinals, are Native Americans. They grew up on the Umatilla reservation in Oregon before moving to Portland to play at Franklin High School. ASU has had a number of Native American women's basketball players including Ryneldi Becenti, who made All Pac-10 first team in 1992 and '93 and is in the school sports Hall of Fame. Current coach Charli Turner Thorne has had several Native American players: Kalene Carl (1997), Michelle Tom (1998-99) and Rainy Crisp (2000-03). "We continue to look," Turner Thorne said. "The ones I've coached have been awesome Sun Devils." Turner Thorne said she listens to any player suggestions from Peterson Zah, former president of the Navajo Nation, and scouts at the Lori Piestewa National Native American Games held each summer in Phoenix. "It makes a ton of sense," for ASU to seek Native Americans, Turner Thorne said. "We'll keep looking." Here is an Associated Press story about the Schimmel sisters including comments from Becenti.
Brady Ellison's new goal: Become a nine-time Olympian
Brady Ellison celebrates after the U.S. men beat South Korea in team semifinals at the 2012 London Olympics. It's hard to know how serious Brady Ellison is about his new goal -- to compete in nine Olympics - since that would tie for the second most appearances all-time and three more than the record for an archer. But Ellison of Glendale has talked before of his admiration for Butch Johnson, a five-time Olympian, and to even equal that achievement would take Ellison, a two-time Olympian, from his current age 24 to 35 in summer 2024. To pull off an uninterrupted run to nine Olympics, Ellison would be 51 in summer 2040 after debuting at 19 at the 2008 Beijing Games. Canadian equestrian rider Ian Millar holds the record with 10 Olympic appearances followed by sailing's Hubert Raudaschl and shooting's Afanasijs Kuzmins with nine. Italy's Ilario Di Buo is the archery record holder with six appearances and former Arizona State archer Alison Williamson of Great Britain like Johnson is among those with five. What's clear is that Ellison, still ranked No. 1 in the world, has career longevity in mind that would give him more opportunities to land a team gold medal that just eluded the U.S. men last summer in London and to get on the individual podium, ideally at the top step. "I'm definitely happy with my first medal (team silver)," said Ellison, shooting through Sunday in the AAE Arizona Cup at the Ben Avery Range. "We were close to winning the gold (vs. Italy), an eighth of inch away. We weren't favored even though we thought we were. It's something we knew we could do because we had done it countless times in World Cup. We wanted to shoot against the Koreans, just in the gold-medal match." Instead Ellison, Jake Kaminski and Jacob Wukie beat the South Koreans 224-219 in the semifinals before losing 219-218 to Italy. In the round of 32 individually, Ellison lost to Australia's Taylor Worth on a day when the winds at Lord's Cricket Ground were difficult to read. "There wasn't a wind flag at 50 meters down the field, which would have been huge in that stadium," Ellison said. "There was a 40-meter gap where you couldn't read the wind. The arrows came out of the bow straight and true but as soon as they cleared the stadium and a gust wind it, it would hit left 7 or low right 6. "The team (round) was a little bit of a problem, but very readable. The arrows went in a direction we could understand. During a lot of the individuals, you could watch archers getting frustrated." Ellison expects that issue to be resolved at the 2016 Rio Olympics, where there are to be stands on both sides of the archers all the way to the 70-meter target. After two post-Olympic tournaments, Ellison took a few months off for the first time in seven years, spending time with his wife Sami, who actually were married before London but kept that information secret. "From an archery standpoint, probably nothing came from it (time off)," Ellison said. "But a lot of things burn you out. So mentally just to get away from everything and spend time with family was good. I kind of relaxed and decompressed and got ready for this coming season." Ellison met some of his rodeo heroes at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas and actually opened the NFR with a shot that set off fireworks and lasers. Rodeo was an exhibition sport at the 1988 and 2002 Winter Olympics.

Today the spotlight shines brightly on Astraea Press' best-selling author Rachel Van Dyken. She's visiting to tell us all about her experience at the recent Romantic Times convention in Chicago. Tell us all about it, Rachel!
RT was an interesting experience to say the least and I'm still recovering! Talk about information overload. It's hard not to totally geek out when you see your favorite authors at the workshops. I was having heart palpitations when I went to a workshop done by Loretta Chase, and nearly fell out of my chair! I would say that this year was definitely a learning experience for me.
The parties — what made them fun was getting to know Elaina Lee, Stephanie Taylor and Kim Bowman. They are all hilarious! I feel so blessed to be a part of such an amazing publishing house. I would have to say my favorite was the flapper party. It was easier to network and talk to people than the other parties.
As far as my first book signing, well…..my palms were sweaty and I felt like I had to have some sort of cool trick up my sleeve to get people to stop by! The ebook extravaganza was awesome, but it was more for writers than readers. The book fair was my favorite. They had Charlaine Harris and J.R. Ward, to name a few. People were literally standing in line for them — it was amazing to see those authors had their own body guards. Crazy!
Awesome, Rachel! You have two releases out — tell us about them. Fabulous covers!
The Redemption of Lord Rawlings is the third and final book in the House of Renwick series. It follows notorious rake Phillip Crawford, the eight Earl of Rawlings, as he seeks redemption. It was by far one of my favorite books to write. I found his character very interesting. I was nervous about writing him, since a lot of readers told me there was NO WAY he could redeem himself. I do like a challenge though!
He's mainly misunderstood and was dealt some bad cards in life. Granted Philip never made the best of choices, but many were made out of desperation and as readers find out, a huge misunderstanding.
It sounds like fun! So what's next for your career?
Lots and lots of writing, preferably with unlimited amounts of coffee and Swedish fish… but even if I just be writing, I'm happy. Currently I'm working on the Renwick House spinoff series, a Regency retelling of a few of my favorite fairy tales. The first is called "Upon A Midnight Dream" and follows two characters introduced in Redemption, inspired by the story of Sleeping Beauty.
The second story, "Whispered Music," is inspired by Beauty and the Beast with a very fun Phantom of the Opera twist. After that we have Snow White and several others! Leah Sanders and I are also working on the sequel to Wallflower, Beguiling Bridgette.
Thanks for the scoop, Rachel! She has a special surprise for readers — LEAVE A COMMENT AND YOU'LL BE ENTERED INTO A DRAWING FOR A $10 Amazon OR B&N gift card! The winner gets to choose — thanks again, Rachel, and best wishes for more bestsellers in your future career!

She received the shock of her life when the lift doors opened on the second floor - standing in front of her, completely naked, was a man in his 20s.
With his arms straddling either side of the lift's entrance, he stared intently at the 12-year-old, blocking her escape path. He then entered the lift.
"The pervert grabbed her bag, and also touched her hand," said the girl's uncle.
He eventually fled when the girl started crying and shouting for help.
The police has since arrested a suspect.
But, before that, send him off to our boys in green. They can and will certainly give him a couple of lessons.
Publish his photo, shamig him and a warning to future potential flasher.

Look at what I got in the mail:
A six pack!
Of tomatoes!
Red Gold Tomatoes sent me such a cute little sampler of
their tomato products to try that I wasn't quite sure what to make with them first, but a
quick glance out the window helped me to decide.
Soup! It's downright wintery out there! Unbeknownst to the Red Gold peeps, I actually
had a can of their tasty tomatoes in my cupboard, so I'm saving the sampler
pack for some other quick tomato meals. Stay tuned for those. In the mean time,
let's cook some soup.
I am not a fan of most canned soup, I'll have you know.
Frankly, I'm not quite sure of what's in it. Usually, there's too much salt.
Sometimes, there's stuff like corn syrup and fillers. And if your argument to
me is that canned soup is convenient, then I will counter that with the fact
that making your own soup is almost as easy.
Check it out—I did this on the fly, with some things I had in the
cupboard (and the freezer).
Tomato, Black Bean, and Corn Soup
Printable Recipe
Printable Recipe
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ large, sweet onion, chopped
2 cups frozen corn (fire-roasted, if available)
1 (28 oz) can whole tomatoes, chopped, with liquid
1 (15-19 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
4 cups vegetable stock
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high
heat. Lower the heat to medium and add
the garlic, onions and corn. Sauté until the onions are softened, about 5
minutes. Add the tomatoes, beans vegetable stock, chili powder and Italian
seasoning. Stir well and bring mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer
soup for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve the
soup hot; garnish with crushed tortilla chips and shredded cheese, if desired.
I chose to use some fire-roasted frozen corn that I had in the freezer. It added just a hint of smokey flavor.
Canned tomatoes make easy work out of soup—of this I am a
great fan. Good, fresh tomatoes are hard to find this time of year (not to
mention, pricey), so canned tomatoes are a must. The thing is, they work in so
many things. Besides soup, you can sub canned tomatoes for fresh in spaghetti
sauce, on pizzas, and in casseroles. My mother-in-law likes to take a can of stewed
tomatoes and use them as gravy over mashed potatoes.
So why Red Gold brand tomatoes? It really wasn't a fluke that that was the brand in my cupboard. The Red Gold company is a third generation family owned company out of Indiana. They started in 1942 and all they do are tomatoes. They know their stuff! Red Gold is located right in the middle of tomato country and I've found all of their tomato products to be of stellar quality. But, I digress. Let's get back to my soup.
This was tasty just the way it was, but I felt it needed just a little something.
How about using all of those crushed tortilla chips at the bottom of the bag? It's a shame to waste them, even if they aren't so good at scooping anymore.
Now, just add some shredded cheese and you are good to go.
See? Wasn't that easy? And now that all of my soup is gone, I've got some ideas for the rest of those cans. Next up on the menu: Cincinnati Chili Pizza.
Is there something special you make with canned tomatoes?
Disclaimer: I received free product from Red Gold Tomatoes in order to do this review. As always, the opinions expressed are my own.
