The Associate in Arts in Hawaiian Studies (AAHS) is a 60–62-credit program for students seeking to earn an Associate in Arts (AA) degree and transfer to a Hawaiian Studies or other baccalaureate degree path in the UH System. The program provides curricula that focus on Hawaiian culture and knowledge.
This Associate in Arts (AA) degree includes all of the broader general education requirements for a liberal arts degree. Articulation agreements among the UH colleges and universities allow for students who have completed their AA degree at one of the community colleges to meet all the general education core courses at the four-year institutions at UH Mānoa, UH Hilo and UH West O'ahu.
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the AA degree in Hawaiian Studies, you will be able to:
- Describe aboriginal Hawaiian linguistic, cultural, historical and political concepts.
- Apply aboriginal Hawaiian concepts, knowledge and methods to the areas of science, humanities, arts and social sciences – in academics and in other professional endeavors.
- Engage, articulate and analyze topics relevant to the aboriginal Hawaiian community using college-level research and writing methods.
Core Requirements
The AAHS shares a common set of required core courses in
Hawaiian Studies and language totaling 14 credits. The required courses satisfy the prerequisite requirements for
the Bachelor of Arts in Hawaiian Studies at UH Mānoa. The courses are:
- HWST 107 Hawaiʻi, Center of the Pacific (3 credits)
- HWST 270 Hawaiian Mythology (3 credits) (HWST 104 at Hawaiʻi CC)
- HAW 101 Elementary Hawaiian Language 1 (4 credits)
- HAW 102 Elementary Hawaiian Language 2 (4 credits)
The small number of core requirements allow each campus to develop additional courses that focuses on the individual campus' specialty or niche (e.g. Hawaiian Navigation at Honolulu CC, Hula at Hawai'i CC, etc.)
You will also be required to fulfill all of the General Education (GE) core areas required for the Associate in Arts (AA) in Liberal Arts degree at your campus. These requirements have been previously articulated between the UH Community Colleges and UH Mānoa, UH Hilo and UH West O'ahu. Visit your campus' website or an academic counselor for more details on your campus' GE core requirements.
Career Pathways
In addition to providing students with a transfer option to baccalaureate programs, the AAHS also creates a pathway for students intending to work in the following types of fields or occupations:
- Aboriginal Hawaiian-serving Government Agencies (e.g. Department of Hawaiian Homelands, Office of Hawaiian Affairs)
- Aboriginal Hawaiian-serving Organizations (e.g. Kamehameha Schools)
- Hawaiian Immersion Education (e.g. as teacher's aides, administrative support, tutors, translators, etc.)
- Healthcare in aboriginal Hawaiian communities (e.g. rural Comprehensive Health Centers, Papa Ola Lōkahi, etc.)
- Hospitality and Tourism Industries
- Hawaiian Music Industry (e.g. as musicians, producers, etc.)
- Museums (e.g. as archivists, curators, consultants, etc.)
- Recreation and Sports Industries (e.g. as camp director, activities coordinator, coaches, etc.)

Preds close homestand against sliding Coyotes
The Nashville Predators will try to cap a four-game homestand with a perfect record when they host the sliding Phoenix Coyotes for Thursday's clash at Bridgestone Arena.
The Predators went 0-4 in the four games prior to this homestand, but they've rattled off wins against Calgary, Columbus and Edmonton to produce their second-longest winning streak of the season. Nashville won four straight from Jan. 31 to Feb. 7.
The recent surge has helped Nashville's postseason chances, but the Preds enter Thursday two points out of a playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Predators have qualified for the playoffs in three straight and seven of the last eight seasons.
Nashville notched a 3-2 regulation win against the Oilers on Monday. The Oilers opened the scoring, but the Preds tallied three unanswered goals, ending with Chris Mueller's game-winner with 8:27 left in the second period.
Sergei Kostitsyn had a goal and an assist for the Predators and Kevin Klein also scored. Pekka Rinne made 24 saves to help push Nashville's home record to 9-2-4 this season.
"I'm sure it's going to be like this until the end of the season," Rinne said of the one-goal spread.
Nashville activated forward Patric Hornqvist from injured reserve prior to Monday's game. He missed the previous eight games with an unspecified upper- body injury.
The Preds will play two straight on the road following tonight's contest.
Phoenix, meanwhile, has fallen five points out of a playoff spot after gaining two of a possible 14 points over the last seven games. The Coyotes are on a seven-game losing streak (0-5-2) and are in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2009.
The Coyotes turned in a solid effort in a tough overtime loss against a streaking Minnesota club on Wednesday. Phoenix led in the third period of the battle in St. Paul, but Ryan Suter tied the game with 55 seconds remaining in the third period and Mikko Koivu scored at the 2:43 mark of overtime to lift the surging Wild to the 4-3 win. It was the seventh straight victory for Minnesota.
Jason LaBarbera finished with 33 saves for a Phoenix team that overcame a two- goal deficit in the game to grab a 3-2 lead at 1:52 of the third period.
"In the end, we didn't do enough to win," said Phoenix head coach Dave Tippett. "We took a poor penalty in overtime, we didn't have the desperation to block a shot in the last minute."
Phoenix, which is playing the middle test of a three-game road trip tonight, is 3-8-4 as the visiting team in 2013. The Coyotes have lost six straight on the road since winning at Vancouver on Feb. 26.
The Coyotes and Preds have split a pair of meetings this season with each team recording a shutout win on home ice. Phoenix has taken five of seven overall in the series, but Nashville has won two of three in Music City.

So, how will the Cougars stack up in the West Coast Conference now that there's a track record of games and some statistical analysis and preseason polls to debate?
It should be a competitive run at the top, just like we saw in the Mountain West Conference with top-tier favorites bloodying noses.
Gonzaga is picked to finish first, followed by St. Mary's and then newcomer BYU at third. Gonzaga has the clout, the reputation and the pedigree. It is a respected ESPN pet team that's proven over and over again that it can make a splash where and when it counts.
On the basis of that tradition, Gonzaga has earned the title of the team to beat. The Cougars are coming into the 'Zags' domain. Out of the chute, the establishment should be favored.
Dave Rose and his BYU squad must earn respect in this circle. BYU appears to be doing just that.
So far, after a run of pre-conference games, the preseason poll by WCC media appears to be following the traditional script.
BYU can make an early statement on Thursday if it can beat St. Mary's on the road.
The WCC is top-heavy with some beat-down fodder at the bottom. Much has been made of playing in smaller arenas by the newcomer BYU. Will that be a factor for or against — or is it just down-clicks on some fashion meter?
This is a league that, if the bottom were tougher, may warrant a look by the NCAA as a three-bid conference in March. If not, there will be a great premium placed on the league's conference tournament in Las Vegas in the Orleans Arena two months from now for that guaranteed automatic ticket.
A check with the computer nerd corps confirms preseason speculation.
If you check Jeff Sagarin's latest USA Today computer rankings, St. Mary's is ranked 18th with an 11-2 record. The Gaels achieve that ranking with a strength of schedule at 185.
Sagrain has 10-3 BYU 28th with a similar strength of schedule at 184, and 9-2 Gonzaga is 41st with the league's toughest strength of schedule at 127.
Ken Pomeroy rates BYU No. 20 nationally, followed by St. Mary's at No. 27 and Gonzaga 29th.
Pomeroy has 11-2 Wisconsin, which defeated BYU on a neutral court in Chicago, as No. 1, followed by 12-1 Ohio State. Interesting to note, UNLV is 18th while the highest Pac-12 team, Cal, is 17th according to Pomeroy.
ESPN's Jay Bilas released his top-60 rankings, which are not a computer matrix but his own guess after his research, and he has Gonzaga ranked 27th, BYU 35th and St. Mary's 37th.
Sizing up the Cougars so far is an interesting exercise.
Because Rose has experimented with one of the most important cogs in his machinery for what will be 14 games before the league opener.
In a word, he's "fiddled" with that spot for two months. He's been forced to.
Rose has invested a lot of time in the Jimmer Fredette point guard replacement matrix. He started 6-foot-6 shooting guard and small forward Brock Zylstra at that position to begin things. He then turned the reins over to freshman Anson Winder and junior Craig Cusick.
The Winder/Cusick move worked and just as they settled in, the long-awaited Dec. 17 date arrived when UCLA transfer freshman Matt Carlino became eligible to play. Rose then turned the starting role over to Carlino against a top-10 Baylor team.
These three stages are risky business by Rose, but a game plan he counted on. Neither Gonzaga nor St. Mary's has "fiddled" this way, yet the Cougars' 18.6 assists per game ranks fifth nationally. That speaks to a lot of teamwork, albeit with disrupted chemistry.
I'd say BYU's point guard experiment cost the Cougars at least two of their three losses: The USU loss for sure. Wisconsin simply shot BYU out of the gym. In the Baylor loss, if Carlino had started all season, he likely would have made more plays. If Carlino had made fewer mistakes against the No. 7 Bears in the Marriott Center, maybe they wouldn't have lost by three.
Carlino's impact has been immediate — the very reason Rose is giving him the most minutes, second only to Noah Hartsock. He needs oven time. He is BYU's second-leading scorer, averages six assists a game, shoots .456 from the field and .500 from beyond the arc.
Could it be said Carlino — his successful development or struggles — could be the biggest factor in the outcome of the WCC race? If Carlino fast tracks it, can he pull even with, cancel out or surpass point guards at St. Mary's or Gonzaga?
Boy, that would be a stretch.
Or is it?
Rose seems to think it may not be so farfetched. As Fredette proved, a single point guard can have a tremendous impact on the nine other players on a court.
Carlino has definitely become BYU's own X-factor — even without playing in November and most of December.

Softbank Billions Could Put Sprint Back in the Game
Oct 11, 2012 11:51 AM PT
Sprint Nextel confirmed on Thursday that it was in talks with Softbank of Japan, giving credence to rumors circulating in the press. The deal would likely give Sprint a boost and help the struggling company finance its ongoing turnaround efforts. Sprint is currently the third largest mobile carrier in the U.S. after AT&T and Verizon.
Softbank may take a 75 percent stake in Sprint, and the deal could open the door for its potential acquisition of Clearwire, a wireless services provider in which Sprint currently owns a significant share.
Sprint "is currently engaged in discussions with Softbank regarding a potential substantial investment by Softbank in Sprint," said Sprint spokesperson Roni M. Singleton.
"Although there can be no assurances that these discussions will result in any transaction or on what terms any transaction may occur, such a transaction could involve a change of control of Sprint," she told the E-Commerce Times. "Sprint does not intend to comment further unless and until an agreement is reached."
Softbank declined to comment for this story, noting that the reports are based on speculation.
Clearing the Way
Sprint has already committed billions of dollars toward revamping and updating its infrastructure, and this includes its LTE rollout into 15 markets. But these efforts still trail Verizon, which has rolled out its own service in about 400 markets, while AT&T has just over 50.
Sprint has looked to expand its offerings to more than 100 cities, but the costly upgrades haven't brought new customers. The carrier has continued to lose money every year since 2007.
Softbank could see this as an opportunity.
"Sprint has gotten beaten up on customer satisfaction and it has seen a constant exodus of customers," said Chris Silva, industry analyst at the Altimeter Group. "However, bandwidth is something they have."
Sprint also offers true unlimited plans for its customers, he added.
"This could be good to keep them in the game," Silva told the E-Commerce Times. "Any extra investment in Sprint is going to let them take some gambles."
This could also be a gamble for Softbank, but one that could very well pay off.
"Softbank sees Sprint as their doorway into the United States wireless market," said telecommunications analyst Jeff Kagan.
Sprinting Past the Problems
Sprint would come with a lot of baggage, though, and Softbank would face some serious challenges.
"Sprint has been wrestling with problems that have kept it down for many years," Kagan pointed out. "The problem with Sprint is not the industry. Just look at AT&T and Verizon who are two successful competitors. The question is what happened at Sprint?"
While Sprint CEO Dan Hesse, who was essentially brought in to save the company, has done what he could to stabilize it, Sprint hasn't exactly seen growth. Softbank could be looking past the company's current problems and issues, though, to the prospect of competing in the U.S. mobile phone market.
"Softbank could give Sprint deep pockets to expand and improve, but that's not all it will take," Kagan told the E-Commerce Times. "It will also take a new vision from Sprint. Does that comes from the CEO or the board or both?"
Spectrum for Growth
Sprint is one carrier that doesn't have a spectrum crisis on its hands, if only because it suffered an exodus of unhappy customers. In the short term, that could be its greatest asset.
There's another card it could play, however, as many wireless customers are clearly fed up with increasingly expensive plans.
"Users are gravitating to prepaid options, and that is saying that it doesn't need to be a triple-digit phone bill," said Silva.
Sprint could thus take some of its spectrum and rebrand it, and cash in on that prepaid market, thus pushing all the carriers -- including AT&T and Verizon -- to look at pricing, Silva told the E-Commerce Times.
Still, it's not clear why Sprint hasn't been able to turn things around on its own, and it's questionable whether Softbank's investment could make enough difference to spark dramatic change.
"It could," said Kagan, "but there are so many questions before we could decide one way or another. Every company has problems. Winners keep on plugging away and become very successful. Why hasn't Sprint?"

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — President Barack Obama on Friday ordered the creation of an interagency group to coordinate federal policy regulating natural-gas drilling methods, including the controversial "fracking" technique.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
In an executive order, Obama said that the group is needed to coordinate work underway "at a number of executive departments and agencies" to promote "safe, responsible and efficient development of unconventional domestic natural gas resources." The group will be comprised of representatives of 13 federal agencies. Read Obama's executive order.
Part of the group's responsibility will be overseeing the Obama administration's oversight of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a technique involving the blasting of water and chemicals underground to extract natural gas or oil. Some environmentalists say that fracking threatens groundwater.
The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to soon issue draft rules on air pollution from fracking.
The American Petroleum Institute, an oil and gas industry trade organization, said it welcomed Obama's establishment of the oversight group. But it also urged against what API president Jack Gerard called "potentially redundant federal regulation."
"There are already strong state regulatory systems in place," Gerard said.
Obama regularly says that natural gas is an important part of the U.S. energy supply. Republicans, however, accuse the president of trying to put the brakes on fracking.
"This president has eight different agencies trying to fight their way to become regulators of the gas-extraction technology known as fracking," Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said last week during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania. "And the intent, of course, is to slow down the development of our own resources."

BOSTON — The Bruins returned from their weekend of team-building activities and got back to practice today at TD Garden.
Everyone was present and accounted for except for defenseman Adam McQuaid, who head coach Claude Julien said was under the weather.
Prior to practice the Bruins waived goaltender Anton Khudobin for the purpose of sending him to the Providence (AHL) farm club. The roster is now down to 23, including the injured Steven Kampfer. But general manager Peter Chiarelli said he hasn't yet worked out a deal with the agent for free-agent tryout Chris Clark, nor has he told rookie Jordan Caron that he's made the team.
The roster has to be set by 3 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.
The Bruins will get their rings tonight in a ceremony that will include the return of retired Mark Recchi and Shane Hnidy, and free-agent departure Michael Ryder.

Colombia's Santos seeks US clarification on spying
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — President Juan Manuel Santos said Thursday that he is seeking clarification from Washington on whether its intelligence-gathering in Colombia has overstepped the countries' joint operations against drug traffickers and illegal armed groups.
Santos said in an interview with The Associated Press that U.S. Vice President Joe Biden called him about the issue following revelations by former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden that massive U.S digital snooping has targeted allies as well as foes.
He said Biden offered a series of technical explanations. Asked if he was satisfied with them, Santos replied curtly, "We are in that process."
Colombia has long been Washington's closest ally in South America with Washington supplying it with eavesdropping equipment, technicians and aerial surveillance.
Santos said "in that alliance we have had joint intelligence operations, using technical intelligence to fight common enemies, including drug-trafficking (and) terrorism."
He said during the 20-minute interview in a salon of the presidential palace that officials of both nations "are at this time in conversations to see if that was everything that was done or if some other type of espionage occurred."
Santos said a delegation examining the question includes deputy defense minister Jorge Bedoya.
Santos, 61, will host U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry during a visit that begins Sunday night. On Monday evening, Kerry travels to Brazil.
Santos said he did not expect the issue to come up with Kerry as he was already dealing with Biden on it.
Last month, the Brazilian newspaper O Globo reported based on documents provided by Snowden that Brazil was a principal target of data collection by the U.S. National Security Agency, for which he worked as a contractor. The report said other countries in the region targeted by the NSA included Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela.
It said the NSA collected information about topics including energy, oil and military purchases.
Colombia said in a brief July 10 communique that it would seek explanations from the United States on the subject.
U.S. Ambassador Michael McKinley has repeatedly declined to respond to questions about whether his country has engaged in unauthorized espionage in Colombia.
Among the NSA programs exposed by Snowden in leaks to the Guardian newspaper was one called XKeyscore that supports his claim the United States has the ability to spy on "the vast majority of human communications."
A series of training slides published by the paper indicates that analysts can use the tool to selectively search digital communications. The slides show Colombia as one of four South American countries hosting an XKeyscore server. The others are Venezuela, Ecuador and Brazil.
Before his 2010 election, Santos was defense minister for three years and was among Colombian officials who sought and welcomed U.S. technical support in electronic eavesdropping.
The country is currently holding peace talks to end a half century-old conflict with the Western Hemisphere's most potent rebel army, a rebel force diminished in strength thanks in considerable measure to U.S. military and intelligence support.
U.S. counterdrug agents employing sophisticated technology have also helped Colombia lock up major drug traffickers.
Associated Press Writer Frank Bajak in Lima, Peru, contributed to this report.

Every year, the best titles from each publisher come out between October and early December. The best-selling games, and highest rated ones usually come out during that time frame, and over the past few years, we've been seeing overall the same franchises...
Assassins creed, Mario , geow, forza, all need to take a break also.
Mario is fun but needs a LONG break. Nintendo should focus on adult games and stop making digital "Toys"
and animal crossing???....Realy Nintendo?
Not the biggest COD fan but COD does not need to take a break. It is the highest selling game this generation every year. Its pretty much pure profit now, and doing a massive part to keep Activision in business. The only thing bad about COD is that its so popular that it halts the sales of other franchises.
There are other annual releases that should take a break way before the worlds most popular videogame at the moment. Games that have low sales and too many releases.
Yakuza Franchise
Need For Speed
Dynasty Warrior type games
Some sports titles with moderate upgrades with full price tags.
Rated E For Everyone
As long as it sells well, Activision will never pull call of duty away from the yearly-release cycle.
I wish developers wouldn't sell out as much. Innovation is really crapping out. I remember when I saw Gamespot's first 10 for Soul Calibur; the review's title was: Think state of the art. It was a great evolution for the fighting genre, and now... Call Of Duty 12 War of the Chimps in Space, here we GO!

The 2500, even simply configured, is capable of towing over 10,000 pounds and base prices start around $29,000.
Receiving a substantial amount of changes for 2011, the 2012 GMC Sierra 3500HD maintains an equally powerful presence this year. Presenting a wide range of configurations that includes single or dual rear wheel versions, Regular, Extended and Crew Cab models of the 2012 Sierra 3500HD seats between 2 to 6 passengers. Beyond physical characteristics, the 2012 GMC Sierra 3500HD trim level range features Work Truck, SLE, SLT and Denali models of the full-sized pickup truck.

2013 MINI Paceman John Cooper Works: Geneva Auto Show
- The 2013 MINI Paceman John Cooper Works is a lowered, 2-door derivative of the high-performance John Cooper Works Countryman.
- Power comes from MINI's familiar 1.6-liter turbo that's been cranked up to produce 218 horsepower (208 hp in the U.S.).
- Pricing will start at $36,200 when it hits dealerships in mid-2013.
Why delay the inevitable? That's the tack MINI's taking with the Paceman John Cooper Works.
After all, it was only a month ago that we attended the regular Paceman's production launch in Puerto Rico. Usually it takes MINI a little longer than that to roll out a high-performance JCW model.
But the 2013 Mini Paceman John Cooper Works has been on the auto-show scene since January in Detroit and now it's Europe's turn to say hello. So here we are, catching up with the latest member of the JCW family at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show.
In case you're new to the Paceman, we should explain that it's more than just a 2-door Countryman clone. It rides a little lower, for one thing, and its more intimate interior features a new backseat that creates a Lounge Atmosphere, in MINI's words, for rear passengers. Also, its exterior styling is unique from the doors back, highlighted by a distinctive roofline that recalls the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque.
But under the skin, the JCW Paceman is a chip off the old Countryman. It has the same ALL4 AWD system (the other JCW models are front-wheel drive) and its sport-tuned suspension is similar, too, except that the Paceman rides a little lower for an even sportier feel. The Paceman also shares the JCW Countryman's dashboard and many of its styling upgrades, including exclusive lightweight 18-inch alloy wheels.
Then there's the motor, which is MINI's familiar turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-4 that's cranked up to 218 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque for the show in Geneva. The U.S. version has to make do with 208 hp, like the rest of the stateside JCW lineup. The transmission is a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic with shift paddles. Either way, expect serious enthusiasm when you floor it, even with the JCW Paceman's extra pounds relative to other JCW models.
What it means to you: The Paceman may be an acquired taste, but its fun-to-drive factor is already sky high and the John Cooper Works treatment should take that up a notch or two. There are definitely worse ways to spend the JCW Paceman's $36,200 asking price. You can try one out for yourself at a MINI dealership later in 2013.

Last year, six Camden Military Academy (CMA) students traveled to the National History Day competition in Maryland, in hopes of winning the prestigious national contest.
If the S.C. House of Representatives passes a bill to funnel $105 million into education, then the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees may not have to draft a millage request letter to Kershaw County Council after all.
Three of the five men charged in connection with the May 16 murder of a Camden man will remain behind bars.
The Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce held its 101st annual awards gala Tuesday, a ceremony that recognized and honored members of Kershaw County for their dedication and volunteerism to the chamber and county.
During Tuesday morning's Camden City Council meeting, Dr. Charles King II presented the board with nearly a dozen questions regarding the city's recent announcement that it will explore a partnership with YMCA of Columbia to open a recreation facility on the former site of Boylan-Haven-Mather Academy.
What kind of legacy will you leave behind?
Kershaw County Council passed first reading of its proposed 2011-2012 budget, 6-1, with Councilman Jimmy Jones voting against.
The option of approaching Kershaw County Council for a millage increase is still in play for the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees.
Kershaw County's $23 million draft budget for 2011-12 is balanced, but it's not sustainable.
What is it about a high school reunion that makes people go crazy?
Central Carolina Technical College (CCTC) will continue to offer dual enrollment classes to Kershaw County School District (KCSD) students next year.
To simply say that Helen Walker looked surprised after being named Kershaw County School District (KCSD) Teacher of the Year on Monday evening would have been an understatement.
Renovations to the Kershaw County School District's (KCSD) new offices on U.S. 1 in Camden could run as high as an estimated $100,000. KCSD Superintendent Dr. Frank Morgan confirmed the number Wednesday morning. KCSD Chief Financial Officer Donnie Wilson had mentioned the figure during a Kershaw County Board of School Trustees facilities and finance committee meeting Tuesday.
Tax reform, job creation, deficits, legislative priorities.
I've heard it a million times -- patience is a virtue.

The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
The Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute were introduced in the 2001 model year and structurally modified beginning with 2005 models to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes. The Mercury Mariner, introduced in the 2005 model year, also had the structural modifications. The Mazda Tribute skipped the 2007 model year. All three models were modestly restyled for the 2008 model year, and electronic stability control was added as a standard feature.
Note: These ratings and specifications do not apply to the hybrid (gas-electric) versions of the Escape and Mariner.
Measures taken from the head and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia and both feet indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be likely and injuries to the feet would be possible. Forces on the neck indicate that injuries to the neck would be possible. Head acceleration from the B-pillar/roof rail hit was low.
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar and roof rail.
How this test is conducted
This rating applies to vehicles other than the specific model and body style tested.
The Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute were introduced in the 2001 model year, and the Mercury Mariner was introduced in 2005. The Mazda Tribute skipped the 2007 model year, reappeared for 2008, and was discontinued after the 2011 model year. The Mercury Mariner was discontinued after the 2010 model year.
Two tests of a 2003 Escape were conducted, one with an optional side airbag for the driver, and one without. The optional side airbags were then changed from combination front seat-mounted head and torso airbags to front and rear head curtain airbags for 2005 models built through August 2004. Beginning with 2005 and later Escape, Tribute, and Mariner models manufactured after August 2004, front seat-mounted torso airbags were added to the optional front and rear head curtains (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door). A third test of an Escape, a 2005 model with all of the airbag changes, was then conducted. Injury and head protection ratings are based on only the latest test, but structural ratings are based on all three tests.
Beginning with 2008 models of the Escape, Tribute, and Mariner, the side airbags were made standard. Note: starting with 2009 models, these ratings and specifications (except weight) also apply to the hybrid (gas-electric) versions of the Escape, Mariner, and Tribute.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that a fracture of the pelvis would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof and a side airbag that deployed from the seat.
Passenger — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.

10 life-threatening behavior myths
Behavior problems continue to be the leading cause of relinquishment and euthanasia of pets in the United States.1-3 Yet most veterinarians graduate with minimal to no training in the normal or abnormal behaviors of domesticated animals.4
To further complicate matters, no other subject within veterinary medicine is as rife with myth and belief based on anecdotal information as animal behavior. If a student enters veterinary school having seen a grandfather apply motor oil to a dog to treat mange, he or she quickly discovers that this is inappropriate and learns how to treat mange based on the latest findings. However, the same student can enter veterinary school having been told that rubbing a dog's nose in its feces is an appropriate and effective means of housetraining, but is unlikely to be taught the potential danger of this technique. A recent study shows that 31.8% of pet owners think that rubbing a dog's nose in its feces is an appropriate training technique5 even though as much scientific evidence is available to disprove this method as there is to refute treating mange with motor oil.
In addition, evidence suggests that when the owner-pet bond is weak, people are less likely to give their pets the best veterinary care.6 And, without a doubt, behavior problems can severely damage this bond.In this article, I discuss 10 common myths about animal, particularly canine, behavior—misconceptions that may increase the likelihood that a pet will develop a behavior problem and, thus, can lead to the pet's abandonment or euthanasia.
"Puppies shouldn't go to puppy classes until they have had all their vaccinations, or they will get sick."
Dogs are best able to form new relationships with those of their own and other species and to adapt to stimuli in their environment (habituation) during their socialization period, commonly considered to be between 4 and 14 weeks of age. During this period, puppies begin demonstrating startle reactions to sound and sudden movements as well as fearful body postures. Unsocialized puppies do not learn to discriminate between things that are truly dangerous and those that are not. Such puppies are likely to become increasingly fearful of novel objects, people, and environments.7 Proper socialization during this period is critical if an owner desires a dog that is tolerant of other people and animals and is unafraid of new environments and situations.
Clients need to be educated about what constitutes appropriate socialization. Simply taking a puppy to a dog park and turning it loose with a group of dogs does not necessarily socialize it. Proper socialization means exposing the animal to a novel stimulus in a way that does not cause fear and should be an enjoyable, positive experience. Many dog owners force their dogs into interactions when the dogs are already showing signs of fear. This forced interaction only serves to convince the dogs that the particular situation or person is terrifying and to be avoided in the future.
Well-run puppy classes are the easiest way to expose a dog to novel people, dogs, and situations. In a good puppy class, puppies will be exposed to children, men in uniforms and hats, wheelchairs, umbrellas, and other stimuli that are likely to frighten older dogs that have not had those experiences.10,11 Be aware that some trainers label a class a puppy class when it is primarily aimed at teaching basic obedience.
Numerous excellent resources provide instructions for giving puppy classes. Early Learning for Puppies 8-16 Weeks of Age to Promote Socialization and Good Behavior by Julie Jackson, R.K. Anderson, and Scott Line (Premier Pet Products) is a particularly user-friendly guide,14 but most of the behavior textbooks also contain good chapters on teaching puppy classes. If you don't have time to offer classes on your own, work with other veterinarians in your community to form classes. Different clinicians and trained technicians could rotate the responsibilities of teaching the classes. And it has become increasingly common for trainers and pet stores to offer puppy classes. As long as a qualified person watches the classes and confirms that they are well-run, give correct advice, and cover the most appropriate subjects, you can recommend that facility.
Finally, socialization biscuits are an important socialization tool you should discuss at every first puppy visit, especially if the owners cannot get their dogs into a puppy class.10 Recommend that owners carry special treats everywhere with them and their new dogs and allow strangers to offer these treats to the dogs. These dogs will learn to expect good things to happen every time they meet a new person.
The fact is, more of your patients are likely to die because of behavior problems than of infectious diseases such as parvovirus infection or distemper, so teaching your clients the importance of proper socialization is critical.

Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (US - DVD R1)
Gabe goes back to school for a round with the flesh-eating virus from Hell...
Following the horrific events of Cabin Fever, Paul (Rider Strong) is left to die on the banks of a forest river. His flesh-eating virus infected blood mixes with the water, which is tapped by company that bottles it, and sells it to the local area. Paul wakes up and wanders to the road, where he's crushed and splattered by a high school bus. Meanwhile, nice guy protagonist John (Noah Segan) asks Cassie (Alexi Wasser), the girl he's been fawning after since early childhood, to be his prom date, after his friend Dane (Alexander Isaiah Thomas) announces he has a possible date. Though Cassie turns him down, John decides to attend anyway to support Dane. While at the prom John runs into Cassie, who has made up with her abusive ex, much to John chagrin. Unfortunately, the contaminated bottled water finds its way into the punch, and all hell breaks loose.
Eli Roth's original Cabin Fever mixed comedic and horrific elements pretty evenly, creating a truly original oddball slice of apparently mainstream cinema. Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever is a little less even, and boils down mostly to two acts of jokes, and one act of genuinely disturbing horror imagery. Writer/director Ti West, who so perfectly recreated the look of the early '80s in House of the Devil, takes a similar approach here, and mostly runs the idea of referential filmmaking into the ground. Roth made the first film with a clear eye for tribute, but was also sure to modernize and personalize enough of the film to make it connect. The slavishly referential nature Cabin Fever 2 overtakes some of the original film's kitchen sink humour, and will probably only work for the ridiculously nostalgic member of the audience. The dialogue is a major weakness beyond the silly structure. It kind of captures the inane speech patterns of high school kids, it's not particularly funny.
The look and occasionally overwhelmingly anachronistic nature (the prom music is just too much, but the animated sequences are a blast) end up being the only reasons to see this sequel, even if they rarely work beyond calling out the reference. I understand that recall is West's 'thing', but it would be great if he moved beyond it. There are enough genuinely bad movies out there that we don't need more straight faced homage to old bad movies. There's a great musical montage callback to Carrie that sees characters prepping for their prom night, but later West practically reshoots entire scenes from Brian DePalma's film (the lead female is named 'Cassie', and ends the film with her prom dress drenched in blood). Knowing exactly what West is going for I feel like I should've liked the film more, but apparently years of Rob Zombie I'm done with the past being so directly referenced. I kind of liked the almost John Waters like grotesqueries of the last act for their genuine griminess, but I didn't actually enjoy the experience.
According to the behind the scenes story (which you won't find on this disc) the film was taken out of West's hands, and 'extensively' reshot and recut by the Lionsgate producers. My guess is that the early acts and goofy anachronistic tones are all West, and the more graphic gore scenes, along with the genuinely unsettling last act horror, was studio interference. It'd be nice to think that the fractured storytelling style is the fault of the recutting process, and that perhaps chunks of narrative and character were left at the wayside, but I'm actually going to assume that this was all part of West's obsessive post-modern plan. It's always tragic when a filmmaker's vision is taken away from him/her, but I'm going out on a limb and assuming that this is a Exorcist: The Beginning versus Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist situation, where both versions are relatively bad, just in different ways.
It's hard to review new movies on DVD these days after my eyes have adjusted so fully to the quality of Blu-ray, but I think I can safely say that Cabin Fever 2 is not a particularly good transfer based even on the 'lesser' format's abilities. The edges are caked with blocking and enhancement, the details are fuzzy, the blacks are extremely harsh, and the colours are muddied. Of course, based on director Ti West's House of the Devil, I'm left to assume things look this way on purpose. Imdb.com claims the film was shot on 35mm, but I'm pretty positive this is 16mm stock based on all the grain, the harsh blacks, the yellowing, and the lack of detail. Assuming the look is put together this way on purpose my only real complaint is that of West's choice of 2.35:1 framing, which is consistently too tight.
The Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack follows the video's lead, and sounds down-right low tech for the vast majority of the runtime. The dialogue is centered, and the stereo and surround channels feature a share of effects, but the balance errs on the side of analogue. The channels are separated, but mixed and recorded in a flat manner. The dialogue is occasionally distorted on high volume levels, and far from crisp, while the overall bass presence is lumpy, kind of like catalogue releases from the '70s. The music, which is probably the most enjoyable element of the film's purposeful outdating, is also recorded in a purposefully flat manner that only really takes advantage of the stereo channels.
The extra features are far too brief for such a troubled production, including only a reel of all the film's gorier moments (3:00), and a behind the scenes featurette (12:50) made up of footage from the film, behind the scenes gore and doe-eyed interviews with the cast and crew (no Ti West). Lionsgate trailers close things out.
Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever scores points for sheer grossness, and for a brief appearance by American Movie's Mark Borchardt, but it's not going to please most people otherwise. Fans of director Ti West's brand of referential horror movies will disappointed that his 'vision' has been watered down by scissor-handed producers, and fans of the original film will be disappointed in how much this new film doesn't match it. There's enough balls-out gore to please the gorehounds in the house, but they'll probably be put off by the weird tone. Perhaps the film will garner enough of a cult audience that Lionsgate will release a director's cut some day down the road, at least then we can be sure if the problem is purely West's. The DVD release features some pretty rough A/V, but this appears to have been done on purpose. The lack of extra features filling out the film's history is the bigger problem.

this movie is REALLY bad. i don't love the 1st movie but i think it's not bad. i don't blame Ti West for this because he disowned this movie but this is a pretty bad movie. and the whole tacked on ending with the stripper....WTF?!
Billy Gates Member Join Date: November 2005 Location: United States Posts: 651
I was gonna watch this after seeing and really enjoying "House of the Devil" but the fact that West disowned this flick has reassured me that there will be no rental of it on my part.
Yoda3539 Member Join Date: February 2006 Location: United States Posts: 225
I really like the first and honestly think this wasn't too bad. I didn't care much for the tacked on ending but found this to be enjoyable. I don't know whether to believe them or not but Lionsgate and the producers of Cabin Fever 2 claim most of this release is Ti West's film...I'd love to see a DC of some sort to compare. This like the first gave me a David Lynch kinda vibe. Spot on with the A/V tho, it is really bad, intentional or not.

Mooney, Monday February 24th 2014
Philip McCabe, RIP (20/10/18)
Everyone on Mooney Goes Wild is devastated to learn of the death of our friend and colleague, Philip McCabe. Philip did more for our understanding of the honey bee than a life time of learning could ever have taught us. Kind, thoughtful and generous, he was a true gentleman, and his knowledge, quick wit, and wonderful ability to entertain us with his storytelling meant that he was a pleasure to be around. He will be very much missed. Our deepest sympathies to his wife Mary and family, and all who had the pleasure to know or meet him.
In January 2017, Derek made a documentary called The Beeman, which profiled Philip McCabe, his fascinating life and work. To find out more and to listen to the documentary, click here.

If you want to be there, all you have to do is tell us in not more than forty words why you and a friend or friends LOVE the Eurovision. All entrants/attendees must be over 18. If you are lucky enough to receive a golden invitation to our EUROVISION GREEN ROOM you will get to see all the action as it happens live from Copenhagen.
Most Mondays we have our Mooney's Monday Quiz and someone wins a nice break away for themselves as they will today. Last Monday John Waters from Oughterard, Co Galway, won a break in the McWilliam Park Hotel in Mayo.
Now the two other contestants that were on were great fun and guess what, the hotel called and said they enjoyed them so much, that they wanted to give them both a weekend away as well!
Well thank very much to all at The McWiiliam Park Hotel; Brenda went to met the contestants and deliver the good news...
Brenda with Carol Duffy
On Friday, Brenda surprised Carol Duffy in Moorefield Post Office in Newbridge, and then couple Eddie and Martina. A huge thanks to David Glynn and all at the McWilliam Park Hotel in Mayo!
McWilliam Park Hotel
We'll find out on Friday night which song will represent Ireland at this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen. Five songs will compete for the honour live on The Late Late Show, and each day this week on Mooney we'll speak to one of the five performers and hear their song...
Patricia Roe
We'll start today with a woman who has history when it comes to this competition. Patricia Roe was part of the group Roe-Mance who took part in the 1980 Irish National Final. 1980 was of course the year Johnny Logan went on to win the Eurovision with What's Another Year. In 1992 Patricia Roe competed again in the National competition and her song Your Love came second. 1992 was of course the year that Linda Martin went on to win the Eurovision with Why Me. A year later, in 1993, Patricia came 3rd in the National contest with a song called If I Changed Your Mind" - and of course that was the year Niamh Kavanagh went on to win the entire Song Contest with the song In Your Eyes.
Patricia Roe joins Derek live in studio this afternoon to tell us about her entry for this year's Eurosong: Don't Hold On.

The winner will be decided by both regional jury vote, which will make up half of the overall marks (the juries are located in five regions: Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Sligo) and the public televote which will account for the other half of the overall result.
The five mentors responsible for selecting their artists and songs are: Valerie Roe (on behalf of her sister, singer Patricia Roe); Mark Murphy (on behalf of Eoghan Quigg); singer/songwriter Hazel Kaneswaran (on behalf of Can-Linn featuring Kasey Smith); RTÉ 2fm disc jockey Cormac Battle (on behalf of Andrew Mann); and member of Irish rock band Aslan, Billy McGuinness (on behalf of Laura O'Neill).
The Late Late Show Eurosong Special will be broadcast on Friday, February 28th and hosted by Ryan Tubridy, with the winner being announced at the end of the show after the national televote results and the verdicts of the five regional juries.
Two Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals will take place – on Tuesday May 6th, and Thursday May 8th. There are already six direct finalists – the 'Big Five' countries: United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, plus last year's winners Denmark, will proceed directly to the Eurovision 2014 Final on Saturday, May 10th. The contest will take place in Copenhagen, the Danish capital, where the Contest has been hosted twice before, in 1964 at the Tivoli Concert Hall (won by 16-year-old Gigliola Cinquetti for Italy), and in 2001 in Parken Stadium (won by Estonia's Tanel Padar, Dave Benton & 2XL). The remaining 31 countries will compete in one of the semi-finals in order to win a place in the aforementioned Final. Ireland will compete in the second semi-final on Thursday, May 8th. Live coverage will be on RTÉ Two for the semi-finals, and on RTÉ 1 for the Eurovision 2014 Final, with commentary provided – as ever – by Marty Whelan.
Composer/Lyricist: Patricia Roe
performed by PATRICIA ROE
Born in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow, Patricia already has a relationship with Eurovision, having placed runner-up with her own songs to both Linda Martin and Niamh Kavanagh in consecutive Eurosongs in 1992 (2nd with Your Love) and 1993 (3rd with If You Changed Your Mind), both of the former went on to win the Eurovision outright in their respective years. Patricia also provided backing vocals for Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994. When approached by Eurosong 2014 mentor Valerie, after a 20-year break from the competition, it was an easy decision. Few people will remember that Patricia and Valerie were members of the band Romance, who participated in the 1980 National Song Contest, placing fifth with the Ken Stewart-penned Love Is All There Is – the winning song that year also went on to win Eurovision (Johnny Logan singing Shay Healy's What's Another Year?)
Patricia trained as both a dancer and a singer as a child, so much so that her actual singing career started when she was just 14 years old. She has performed throughout the world as both a soloist and backing vocalist from as far east as Singapore to the far western desert plains of Las Vegas, where she lived on two occasions. She has been a professional singer her entire life.
Her mentor and sister Valerie Roe said: 'My vision for Ireland this year is to go back to our roots with a powerful song and an exceptional singer with strong production and the artistic style that Ireland is famed for worldwide. Don't Hold On is a compelling and passionate song that makes my heart beat faster but also break a little bit at the same time! I want this opportunity so much for Trisha. She has been so close so many times. I think this will be her chance to finally shine and for everyone to experience her extraordinary talent. Trisha was always my chosen singer, without question. We were so thankful for all the songs we received but in the end we felt that Don't Hold On had the best chance. Trisha is stunning inside and out and I think her powerful voice, arresting stage presence and beautiful song will capture everyone's hearts.'
Since Ireland's first participation in 1965, we have finished as follows:
1st place: 7 times – 1970, 1980, 1987, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996
2nd place: 4 times – 1967, 1984, 1990, 1997
3rd place: once – 1977
4th place: 3 times – 1966, 1968, 1986
5th place: 3 times – 1978, 1979, 1981
6th place: 3 times – 1965, 1985, 2000
7th place: twice – 1969, 1974
8th place: twice – 1988, 2011
9th place: twice – 1975, 1998
10th place: 4 times – 1973, 1976, 1991, 2006
Note that all of Ireland's Top Five placings occurred between 1966 and 1997.
The 1990s became Ireland's most successful decade, having won four contests in five years – and the year in between (1995) featured Irish violinist in the Norwegian-Irish collective Secret Garden.
The 2000s has been the country's worst decade in terms of our track record.
The best placing was at the start, in 2000, when Millennium Of Love, finished sixth.
2001 saw our entry Without Your Love finished third last, and put Ireland out of the 2002 contest. Ten years ago, the You're A Star format of selecting a Eurovision entry for Ireland was introduced, and Mickey Harte gave us a credible eleventh (joint) position in Riga in 2003. Chris Doran (2004) and Donna & Joe McCaul (2005) were less successful – the latter performers did not even qualify for the final. Brian Kennedy temporarily restored fortunes in Athens, 2006, when his own composition finished tenth in the Final. In 2007, the trad band Dervish, however, gave us our first bottom placing! Dustin won the national heat in Limerick in 2008, and went to Belgrade hoping to make it eight victories – it was not to be, especially as he didn't make it past the semi-final stage. 2009 saw the girl band Sinéad Mulvey & Black Daisy narrowly miss a place in the final in Moscow with Et Cetera.
Now we're in the 2010s, and former winner Niamh Kavanagh went to Oslo with a strong ballad, It's For You, but finished way down the field. Former The X Factor contestants from Lucan, John & Edward Grimes, aka Jedward, won the national selections in 2011 and 2012 – mainly due to the huge under-16 female vote. The first of their entries, Lipstick, gave us a worthy eighth place in Düsseldorf two years ago. And the following year in Baku, Azerbaijan, the twins fared even worse, when Waterline plunged to nineteenth place on the night. As for 2013 in Malmö, Ryan Dolan plunged to last place in the Final with Only Love Survives.

text: |The Rusco 2-140SS-F Stainless Steel Screen Spin-Down Filter System is designed to remove virtually all types of sediment, including shale, shell, debris, pipe scale, and sand/grit (course, fine, and very fine). The amount of sediment removed by the Rusco filter screen will depend on the micron rating of the filter screen. Smaller micron rated filter screens will remove smaller particles of sediment from your water. By removing larger sediment particles from your water, you are preserving the life of appliances and filter cartridges that may be installed after the Rusco sediment filter system. The Rusco water filtration systems are made from molded non-corrosive materials. The top of the system is made of PVC. The filters use centrifugal separation technology to filter sediment from water. The filtration system has a stainless steel screen filter. The system's filter screen is cleanable and reusable. The Rusco systems have a clear cover that can easily be removed for cleaning. No tools are required to remove the cover. The clear cover is made of high impact polymer resin for maximum strength and durability. Sediment is visible through the clear cover indicating when the filter needs to be flushed. Rusco Sediment Filtershave an open ball valve to easily flush sediment. When the Rusco filter is full of sediment, simply open the ball valve to flush the sediment. If you have a standard Rusco Spin-Down model that is 1-1/2" or 2", you can covert it to a Rusco Sediment Trapper model by replacing the filter screen element with a sediment trapper filter. The Body Material is made of PVC and the Cover Material is High Impact Polymer Resin. The Screen Material is Polyester. The Screen Mesh Size is 140 and the Micron Rating is 104. Minimum Flow Rate for Spin-Down Action is 20 GPM and the Maximum Flow Rate is 100 GPM. The Service Flow Rate is 50 GPM and the Maximum Temperature is 100 deg F. at 40 PSI. The filter screen should be replaced every 6-12 months depending on your water usage and water quality. The Rusco filter screens should be cleaned every few months. No tools are required for cleaning. To remove the filter element, turn off the water supply, drain water pressure, unscrew the clear cover and remove the filter element. Wash off collected sediment by spraying with water. Remove fine particles wedged in the screen with a soft brush. Apply silicone grease to o-rings if needed and reassemble. Hand tighten only.

This post is Part 2 of my video conversation with Jim Rutledge, Four Roses Master Distiller. I hate to even call it an "interview" because frankly it's a conversation I caught on camera. In this segment Jim continues to tell us more on the background of Four Roses. He also talks about which Four Roses product he consumes most, gives a rundown on "Whiskey Flavor Factors" (including some detail on barrel aging), and some comparisons to Scotch whiskey. Enjoy!
3 Comments
Jason, thanks for the close up look at Four Roses and the interviews with Jim. My wife and I first visited the Four Roses distillery in 2005 and fell in love with the brand and the people we met there. Jim's vision and passion for resurrecting Four Roses bourbon and their unique process of multiple recipes and consistent aging conditions helped to make Four Roses my all time favorite. I am so glad that we can now buy Four Roses in Ohio. A few years ago we had to stock up while driving through Kentucky to assure an adequate supply.
Yes! Finally something about Wealth Master Interviews.

Nov. 13, 2010
EUGENE, Ore. - Despite a career-high 30 points from junior Orlando Johnson, UC Santa Barbara couldn't dig itself out of a deep hole and dropped a 68-60 decision to North Dakota State on the second day of the Basketball Traveler's Invitational in Eugene, Ore.
The Bison (1-1) didn't waste any time seizing control of the game led 8-0 before a Lucas Devenny rebound and follow with 15:34 remaining put the Gauchos (1-1) on the board. But Devenny's basket did little to stem the tide.
"Personally, I thought our offensive was inept," said UCSB head coach Bob Williams. "For the second night in a row we didn't have a good post presence and I thought we did a poor job of being physical and getting to the free throw line and the rim."
Michael Tveidt and Taylor Braun combined for 21 points as NDSU built a 25-9 with 8:42 to play in the first half. The Bison still led by 16 when Braun went to the free throw line with 5.4 seconds to play. He missed both free throw attempts and the second was rebounded by James Nunnally who calmly came down court and made a three-point basket from about 27 feet to cut the deficit to 37-24 at the break.
Tveidt who scored 27 in NDSU's Friday night overtime loss to Oregon, made all four of his three-point attempts in the first half and the Bison made 7-of-8 as a team, 87.5%. They hit 13-of-22 from the field overall, 59.1%. The Gauchos, on the other hand, made just 11-of-34 overall, 32.4%, and just two out of 10 from outside the three-point arc, 20.0%. In addition, UCSB did not attempt a free throw in the first half.
After Eric Carlson scored on a backdoor lay-up to open the second half for NDSU, the Gauchos scored five in a row, the final three on a lay-up and free throw by James Nunnally.
But UCSB couldn't maintain the momentum as Tveidt made his fifth straight three-pointer to start an 8-0 run that pushed the Bison lead to 47-29 with 15:50 left.
The teams traded baskets for the next five minutes and when Carlson made two free throws, NDSU had its biggest lead of the game, 55-35 with 10:30 left.
Led by an aggressive trapping defense and Johnson, the Gauchos chipped away at the deficit. When Johnson scored on a put-back, was fouled and made the free throw with 1:30 left, the lead was down to six, 62-56. But UCSB got no closer.
"I liked that we kept scrambling and getting after it," Williams said. "We didn't quit."
In the end, Santa Barbara was unable to overcome its 33.3% shooting overall, but particularly its 22.7% mark from three-point range. Johnson finished at 12-of-22, the rest of the team made just 12-of-50 shots, 24.0%.
UCSB's defense did force NDSU into 20 turnovers and had nine more steals. The Gauchos had 17 steals on Friday night against Denver.
Nunnally had 11 points while Jon Pastorek had six points and a team-high seven rebounds for Santa Barbara
Tveidt finished with a team-high 18 while Taylor Braun had 12 points for NDSU. Carlson had 11 points and a game-high nine rebounds.
The Gauchos will play its final game in Oregon on Sunday night when it takes on the host Ducks. The game will tip at 6:00 p.m. The game can be heard live on AM 1290, KZSB and online at NewsPress.com, the home of Talk'n Gauchos, every Tuesday night from 6-7:00 p.m. live at the Beachside Café on Goleta Beach.
UCSB returns home following Sunday's game against Oregon and will play its first home game of the season on Saturday, Nov. 20 at 7:00 p.m. when it hosts Fresno State.

The High Seas are international waters, meaning they are open-access common areas for everyone. Although various international and regional agreements have been established for High Seas use, many activities are not restricted. There are few regulations for commercial fishing, oil and gas exploration, mining, shipping, bioprospecting, and pollution on the High Seas - and even where regulations do exist, there are few nations that will enforce them.
As a result, many High Seas areas have already become degraded. New management regimes are required to protect High Seas species and habitats while allowing for sustainable resource use.

NLRB head Pearce ducks Beltway heat in visit home
Mark Gaston Pearce came home Sunday to a crowd much more welcoming than the U.S. Senate.
The Buffalo labor lawyer-turned-National Labor Relations Board chairman spoke at a downtown dinner, still fresh from a confirmation process that turned partisan last month.
"Our agency is under fire," Pearce said of the Republicans who filibustered his appointment by President Obama. "Several senators even questioned the legitimacy of our board."
Pearce, who has served on the NLRB since 2010, is one of several Obama appointees at the center of a growing feud over the federal agency that oversees unions and labor relations.
Republicans insist the NLRB, under Pearce's stewardship, has become too pro-labor. They also take issue with the legality of Obama's previous appointments to the board.
Democrats counter by saying Pearce is a well-qualified public servant – he spent 15 years working at the board's offices in Buffalo – and that he deserves an up-or-down vote by the full Senate.
He finally won that right two weeks ago when a Senate subcommittee approved his five-year appointment along party lines and moved his confirmation to the floor of the Senate for a vote next month.
"I'm pleased we've completed the process," he said Sunday before his speech at the Buffalo NAACP's annual awards dinner in the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center.
Pearce said he would "never second-guess what a Republican is thinking" and stopped well short of criticizing their filibustering tactics.
He did note, however, that the NLRB has a long history of dealing with politicians who are anti-NLRB.
"The board was born of controversy," he said. "The board was challenged when it was first created and, even then, the board continued to do its work."
Pearce is not the only Buffalonian whose fate at the NLRB rests with the Senate. Richard F. Griffin Jr., a Buffalo native, has served on the board since January of last year and was reappointed earlier this year by Obama.
Pearce, in his speech Sunday night, spoke about A. Philip Randolph and what that great labor leader and civil rights activist might think about modern day Washington. Randolph organized the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first predominantly black labor union, and he led the historic 1963 civil rights March on Washington. Pearce said Randolph's use of collective-bargaining tactics to help the civil rights movement can serve as a lesson to those trying to improve today's political climate.
And whether those changes come or not, Pearce plans to continue his work at the NLRB.
"Our job is to keep the industrial peace," he said, "and that's something we'll continue to do."
Pearce, who has served as NLRB chairman since August 2011, was a founding partner of Creighton, Pearce, Johnsen & Giroux in Buffalo.

26 March 2013|
Written by Steven Loung | Photography by Dino Dalle Carbonare
We here at PASMAG mostly feature cars from the United States, Canada and sometimes from Japan. Rarely do we see a car come our way that has more of an international flavor. That's why we jumped at the chance to showcase Australian native Simon Podlewski's Nissan 180SX, a wild beast of a vehicle that Podlewski and Aussie auto shop Morpowa put together for the sake of tearing up time attack courses.
As you can imagine, for a car focused on time attack, performance is everything. And that is apparent as soon as you pop the hood of this bad boy where the engine has been swapped for a 3.0-liter Toyota 2JZ customized with six cylinders by Rhemac Performance, another Australian auto shop, so it almost resembles the GTE member of the engine's family. The big difference is that instead of twin turbochargers giving it that extra kick, a single Garrett GTX 35/40 turbo has been installed. Other significant performance upgrades include Bosch 2,200 cc fuel injectors and fuel pump, a PWR intercooler and a MoTeC M800 ECU. All told, this set-up generates a whopping 710 horsepower at the wheels.
As important as the engine mods are, there are other major factors at play in order maximize the car's potential on race day. One such factor is aerodynamics – that's what the entire focus of this 180SX's exterior is all about. Employing the help of famed aerodynamicist Andrew Brilliant – a man who's helped many IndyCar and American Le Mans teams fine-tune their aero packages – Podlewski and company most notably widened the front fenders and added a front splitter for improved engine cooling. The splitter was also installed in order to strike a balance with the tremendous amount of downforce the massive rear wing produces.
Moving to the wheels, you'll see the wells have been tubbed out for the sake of the massive 18x10.5-inch ROH Modena wheels and Hankook Ventus TD Z221 tires. As far as stopping power goes, there are Alcon six-piston front calipers and Brembo GT-R rotors and calipers in the back with Ferodo DS3000 brakes pads at all four corners.
Connecting the engine's power to said wheels, the drivetrain has also been completely redone with a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission, Xtreme twin-plate clutch and a Nismo two-way LSD. MCA dampers, Whiteline sway bars and Ikeya Formula adjustable arms, knuckles and steering spacers keep the driveline about as smooth as 710 horses is going to get.
The interior of the car is intentionally very spartan so that race performance may be optimized. The passenger and rear seats have been removed while the driver's seat has been replaced with a Velo podium bucket seat. The old helm has also been swapped in favor of an OMP Racing 320 mm Carbon S steering wheel. The dash has been upgraded with a custom instrument binnacle and a MoTeC LCD dash unit, whereas the area where the back seats used to be is now home to a custom multi-point roll cage.
Most interestingly found in the interior is the crank for a hyrdraulic e-brake – something you'd expect to see in a drift-spec car, but not really in a time attack one. This feature, in all likelihood, was included because it's possible Podlewski was intending to enter drift competitions with this car. (The Aussie was also an accomplished drifer, nicknamed "Pitbull" for his aggressive style, before catching the time attack bug.)
Finally, as previously stated, the entire vehicle was put together by Morpowa. The shop, located in South Australia, was first founded by Simon's father Mark; and it was because of Simon that the shop shifted its focus to performance, ultimately allowing him to put together this monster. With all things said and done, building a car for time attack and having nothing to show for it would be pretty sad. Fortunately – or perhaps even expectedly – Podlewski's 180SX has performed up to standards, highlighted by a second place finish in the Open class at the car's World Time Attack debut back in 2011.

775 ft2 house with a properly sized/matched 2 ton Goodman unit in Houston. Adequate ventillation of the attic space above the living space, 5 inches of R19 blow-in insulation. Attic well sealed from living space. Northwest side facing windows all double insulated and tinted. Starting around noon and continuing until ~ 9 pm, unit will run constantly and the house temp doesn't get below 82.
I had a tech come out who checked the pressures, advises it's properly charged and running correctly, coils (both condensing outside and evap inside) clean. He did notice a kind of squealing noise on the high pressure tubing inside the house just before the evap coil. He told me that it was the result of incomplete condensing (the squealing noise was gas/liquid moving through the line that only liquid should be moving through), and that probably my outside condensing unit is too hot to do it's job. Problem is, that squealing noise occurs all the time (even when it's early morning and cool all around) so I don't think it's simply the ambient temp around the condensing unit.
So I'm stumped, as is the tech. Any suggestions?

1112 Episode 2 Review
Like an episode of Fringe, the first episode of 1112 left us with a cliffhanger ending and a tease of what was to come next for the main character, Louis. We found that even though the story was both interesting and creepy, there was a lot left to be desired as a game. Unfortunately, 1112 Episode 2 doesn't resolve any of our complaints from the first game, and adds a few more as well.
Episode 2 starts off with Louis in an abandoned hotel room with no recollection of where he is or how he got there. After a short stint of confusion, which isn't helped by the awkward and sometimes confusing characters around the hotel, he finds himself attempting to recover his once peaceful life in New Jersey.
Unsurprisingly, the main core of the game remains unchanged from the first episode. You still operate from a first-person perspective and navigate through the world by tapping on objects and people. This creates a world of possibilities, which unfortunately aren't taken advantage of in the storyline.
Riding the rails.
Many of the glitches from the original game still exist. Numerous times you'll find yourself required to select objects that aren't visible, like having to speak with a maid by tapping on a blank wall. This is not intuitive in the slightest. Even the dialogue localization has its problems, because several times we found the game mixing up English and French, resulting in us scratching our heads.
Most of the same puzzles return from the first game, which isn't necessarily a good thing. While some will provide a small bit of satisfaction, we found them just as bland as in the original. The majority of puzzles also suffer from terrible touch controls and multitouch gestures that are simply atrocious. It's easier to tighten a screw in real life than in this game.
Sir! SIR!
Despite what it may sound like, Episode 2 isn't all bad. Many of the things we liked about the first episode remain in play. Louis (who looks just like Johnny Depp) is still a great main character, and we liked him enough to play through the entire game just to see his fate. But the overall storyline remains secretive, as we were faced with another disappointing cliffhanger.
If you managed to complete Episode 1, you'll find something to like in Episode 2. But you would have an extremely hard time enjoying this sequel without first playing through the original. If you liked the first one, Episode 2 is a worthwhile purchase only to continue the entangling storyline. Like Johnny Depp's iconic hairstyle, our opinion of the series remains unchanged.

Yes. gi/nomai takes a pn. Verbs that take a pn are mostly linking verbs. These verbs don't indicate any action toward an object but link the subject with another substantive that tells you some more about the subject.
They CAN take a pn in any tense but that does not mean that always do.
gi/nomai can be followed by dative or genitive. u(pa/rxw can take and genitive or accusative. At least some lexicons will tell you. Middle Liddell tells you when it takes a pn or when it takes another case.
The passive voice of kale/w can also take a pn.
