Stephen Kay
Ned Winn-Dix
Deakin University
I want to impart a story which, when I first heard it years ago, so struck me with its strangeness that it has held fast in my mind, defying the twin tides of age and forgetting. It concerns a man whose life took on a dimension so fantastic that he was immediately and completely entered into the whispering halls of legend. I had idly read, like so many others, what existed in the newspapers about Steven Kay but it was only over a chance beer in Warialda that the details of his sorry tale were filled in. The story I have put down here is the product of my subsequent research in dusty archives and over-stained bars. Like all legends, the facts shimmer and re-form, so I cannot attest to the exact order or intricacies of events. However, do not think that this tale is the work of an old man's imagination or a drunkard's yarn for, if you ever have the luck, and even now I am not sure if it is good luck or bad, to see the figure of Steven Kay moving through the scrub, that image and the queer feeling on seeing him will stay with you forever.
Steven grew up on a property outside Moree, the asthmatic fourth child of a cattle farmer he spent his youth the target of his brothers' practical jokes and his mother's floury embrace. Because of his weak lungs, he did the jobs that required less strain – distributing salt lick, fence repairs, washing out the silos. He would enjoy his tasks alone, content to meander down the fence-lines. His angular frame could often be seen in the distance, bent over a tangle of metal like some old soak over his glass.
At harvest time he would strip down to his underwear and wash out the insides of the big, cylindrical silos with pesticides, readying them for the gathered sorghum. One summer, his brothers, bored from a day's harvesting, loosed the sorghum into the silo that Steven was cleaning. The sorghum-dust thickened his spit for weeks afterwards, and the mechanical pinging of the grain on the metal walls still filled his ears. His lungs never fully recovered from the incident and, four months later, Steven left the property for Sydney.
He found an apartment and a job at a small firm which sold construction materials. At first the smog suffocated him, like bushfire season back home, and he would wake sweaty and anxious, watching for a glow outside the window, but with time and the improved puffers, he became used to this new air. He settled into a routine, moving from his work to his apartment to the local park in a small triangle of existence. In the park he would sit with a crossword and watch the pub across the street fill up with smoke and flashes of laughter until the night descended so low that he couldn't make out its clues.
The tranquillity of this existence could offer him few references when the steady passage of his life jack-knifed off its track. In fact, it is through the soft light of these suburban streets that the beam of the fantastic shines ever brighter with its bizarre glow. Around this time his mother died and Steven, feeling his last links to the country crumble, started to have dreams. It was always the same dream, he would be wading in bore-mud with his brothers and start to sink. The mud would cover his body and press into his mouth and lungs; he would fight in vain, thrashing around until his struggles were reduced to the small kicking movements of a gored dog. He would wake up wide-eyed and gasping for air, in a bed strewn with sheets and sweat and pull in vain on his puffer.
Soon, the tight feeling in his chest started on him during the daytime. His lungs felt like they were confined by steel bands, and each breath came pulled from the depths just in time. At work he was tired and irritable, and would take numerous breaks where he would sit and will his rusty diaphragm to move. He stayed out late in the park, trying to tire himself out, and would climb into bed carefully, so as not to disturb the memories that rose off it like seeds from a windswept field. Steven, for the first time since leaving the farm, resorted to alcohol yet even the thick rationality of liquor couldn't stem the dreams.
His sick days became permanent, he would go for long walks to escape the chalky scrape of his lungs and it was only while he was moving did his breath come more easily and his muscles soothe his aching body, the rest of the time he suffered. The walks became longer, he would stay out until his mind numbed with the effort to stay awake. He became late on his rent and his apartment fell into disarray. The morning would come like surfacing from a deep dive.
His doctor could not understand his affliction, it was not the old asthma, this was something different and the prescribed rest and drugs only clamped his lungs and brain. Tortured by the uncertainty of his condition, it was in his walks, increasingly, that Steven found solace. As he paced the streets, he gradually became aware of the most curious sensation. The night air stopped flowing around him, like wake around a liner, but seemed to pass right through his pores. It was as though his body had lost its exterior shell, he was opened up to elements that were taking the liberty to traverse his organs. He had the impression that his skin had been peeled away; he was invisible, untouchable, permeable. No callous border separated his being from the particles that enveloped it. When he paused, the tightness would again grip him, squeezing air out of his body like paint from a tube until he was forced to move off again in search of breath.
They found Steven's lungs wouldn't operate unless he was moving; the moment he paused the oxygen leaked from his body and his heartbeat dulled. He was trapped in a body that couldn't ever stop, half-man, half-shark. It was at this fantastical point that Steven's story briefly entered the consciousness of the populace. In newspapers articles, Steven was heralded as a medical miracle for a time yet, with the steady succession of failed experiments and diagnoses, interest faded and Steven quietly slipped from the public gaze.
It was in the pub in Warialda that I heard of him again. A man was proclaiming he had seen old Steve down near Croppa Creek when his cattle had got loose. I offered to exchange a beer for his story and so he happily trotted out the old legends with the ease of an experienced handler. Yet when I pushed him for concrete information his eyes grew dark and I left him with his beer and friends and returned to my room upstairs. As I lay on my bed, the image of the protean figure pacing the neighbouring fields echoed in my thoughts, looping through the stays of my brain until it formed a dense knot. I scratched around for more information but Steven had taken on the aspect of a myth, a man who had fallen into the town's history from another age and, like that history, was no more important. Tired of rumour, I spent days camping out in the scrub, with a swag and a small pack, scanning the horizons for a human form. The schools of kangaroos would startle me, and I would quickly lift the binoculars to my eyes, but watching as they surged across the expanse I felt myself wonder if he had not changed himself into another form, another being, one beyond my recognition. I would retire to my bed nicked with doubt.
I finally saw him at dusk many weeks later. I was standing on a ridge, looking out over Coppham plain. In the failing light I saw a hazy image of a man, receding into the purple shadows with a light pack and a rifle slung over his shoulder. I couldn't make out much more, yet it was not the figure but the movement that held my attention, he did not have the gait of a man. There was no swing or roll to his step, so common for people of the country; he glided, still and erect, across the earth. He moved with such ease that it seemed like the world itself turned while he strode, permanent, above it. I started to descend the ridge but halted, remaining still as he moved away in a perfectly straight line, crossing that wide expanse of dirt and scrub until I lost him in the murky distance. As I made my way back to the pub, the evening air suddenly lost its warmth and, hurrying, I turned my collar up to the animals calling the onset of darkness.

Dr. Reiland discusses how oncoplasty combines the latest plastic surgery techniques with breast surgical oncology.

Audio (.mp3) version
At the time of a breast cancer diagnosis, many women don't realize that breast-conserving surgery with radiation is an option that offers outcomes and survival rates that are just as high as mastectomy in treating certain types of early stage breast cancer. New surgical techniques, known as oncoplasty, remove the cancer and enhance the shape of the breast. Dr. Julie Reiland, Breast Surgeon with Avera Medical Group Comprehensive Breast Care, has a decade of experience in oncoplasty and lectures internationally on the technique. Not only does oncoplasty effectively treat cancer, it can leave the breasts looking better than before.
When a traditional lumpectomy is performed, the incision is often placed right over the lump – wherever it is on the breast. After the lump is removed, a scar and indentation where the lump was may be visible, and the breast looks deformed.
Oncoplasty incorporates plastic surgery techniques to place the incision where the scar won't be visible, as well as tightening the skin the same way a plastic surgeon would do a breast lift. Because law provides that women who undergo full or partial mastectomy are entitled to surgery that equalizes the look of their breasts, the other breast can also be reshaped to match the same look, often during the same surgical procedure.
Join Dr. Julie Reiland from the Avera Cancer Institute as she discusses oncoplastic breast surgery, and how it combines the latest plastic surgery techniques with breast surgical oncology.

Some 75 evacuees have been staying at the Red Cross shelter at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Thomasville Road.
The Red Cross plans to close the shelter in the next few days, once it makes more stable housing arrangements for all the evacuees.
Chris Floyd, Emergency Services Director, says, "Our plan over the next couple of days is to transition from shelter to place all those individuals in hotel rooms for at least 14 days as we then develop our long-term housing plan."
Floyd says he's conducting an in depth survey to see how many evacuees plan on living Leon County. Once that's completed he'll try to find long-term housing for those displaced residents.

Amid all the supremely genuine articles at the 2012 London Olympics, the athletes at the pinnacle of hard won achievement, an imposter lurks. It is the object of desire, the point of all the sacrifice, the endless hours of training, the steely resolve - the gold medal. It is a thing of beauty - but, I'm afraid, not actually gold.
Symbolically, of course, a gold medal is the height of human accomplishment. An emblem of the purest, most selfless achievement. But in the interest of all who love Olympic lore and just for the record: the gold medal is mostly silver. 92.5% to be exact.
No one is suggesting that the following words should ever boom out across London's Olympic Stadium: "The winner of the gold-plated medal is... " Still, no getting around it - that is the metallurgical makeup of the thing. Second place? The silver medal is actually a bit more "the real deal." It's 92.5% silver too. The rest is copper. The bronze? 97% copper with a smidgen of zinc (2.5%) and a dash of tin (0.5%).
Whatever the percentages, of course, the medals, 4,700 of them this year, awarded in 805 victory ceremonies, will be 100% the stuff of triumphant dreams. At the same time, given how central gold, silver and bronze have become to the competition, it's interesting to note that at the first games of the modern era, in 1896, no gold medals at all were bestowed. The ancient Games conferred an olive wreath on winners, so the re-born Olympics at first attempted to mirror that, presenting a silver medal for first place, accompanied by an olive branch. Second place won a bronze medal and a laurel branch. In 1900, there were no medals at all, just cups and trophies.
Only in 1904, in St. Louis, did the International Olympic Committee (IOC) create the tradition of gold, silver and bronze. That year, and in 1908, the last time London hosted, and in 1912, in Sweden, the first place medals were the genuine article. Solid gold. As Europe and the world veered into war, it all, presumably, just got too expensive. The current construction became the standard, and that's never changed. But that's not to say the medal's composition or the gold-silver-bronze hierarchy will never change. The IOC chose what was valuable (and practical) for that particular Olympic year. In a historical rarity, gold is more expensive that platinum right now, but usually it is the other way around, so perhaps we will see a platinum medal at Rio 2016 or a future games.
One distinction of this year's gold medal should be pointed out. It's the heaviest ever, at 400 grams. Six grams of that, on the surface of it, gold. And 7mm thick, with a diameter of 85mm. Rio Tinto, the mining company, contributed eight tonnes of gold, silver and copper, extracted from its giant Kennecott Mine in Utah, (so big it's visible from space) and from another of its mines in Oyu Tolgoi, Mongolia, for this year's prizes, which were produced by the Royal Mint in South Wales. Septuagenarian British artist David Watkins crafted the design, with Nike (the Greek goddess, not the shoe) emerging out of the Parthenon into London on one side and on the other the 2012 London logo crisscrossed by a web of delicate, intersecting sticks and an unfurling ribbon meant to symbolize the River Thames that unites the great, sprawling city of London.
A city of turbulent life - and deep history. It is somehow fitting that in addition to the contemporary stylings of this year's medals will be the fact that, once forged, they have been stored in, of all places, the Tower of London. Amid the ghosts of vanquished royals and scallywags, burnished medallions of victory.
Not exactly run-of-the mill warehousing. But there could never be anything common about an Olympic medal. They radiate the essence of the Games. Gold, silver, or bronze - all confer a real measure of immortality - whatever they're really made of.

MMA Fighter War Machine Is Prime Suspect in Porn-Star Girlfriend's Vicious Beating — Report
MMA figter Jon Koppenhaver, who uses the name War Machine, is reportedly the prime suspect in an incident in which his girlfriend, porn star Christy Mack, was badly beaten.
According to police, War Machine was part of a three-person altercation at the home that the couple shares in Vegas on Friday morning. Christy's rep has confirmed that she was involved, and TMZ reports that she was beaten so badly that she can barely speak. Sources say she fears for her life.
Reportedly, War Machine's whereabouts are currently unknown, and Christy's rep says her loved ones are offering a hefty cash reward for anyone who can help police track War Machine down. Christy's rep apparently don't know exactly what happened to Christy because of her trouble speaking.
In light of the incident, War Machine has been released from his promotional contract with MMA promtional group Bellator. "We have a zero tolerance policy here at Bellator when it relates to any form of domestic violence," the group said in a statement.
And while War Machine has not yet turned up, he has posted a cryptic message on Twitter since the altercation. ""@ChristyMack I love you and hope you're okay," he writes. "I came [home] early to surprise you and help you set up for your convention. I can't believe what I found and can't believe what happened." It is unclear what War Machine found.
Are thoughts are with Christy as she continues to recover.

Insurers Warn of Obamacare-Induced Sticker Shock on Health Policy Prices
March 14, 2013
(AP) — Some Americans could see their insurance bills double next year as the health care overhaul law expands coverage to million....
"3/10/2010 Libertarian View
"Oooh snap! Looks like we've been right all along. All the big K Street money pumped into the House and Senate has been overwhelmingly one-sided in favor of Obama's horrendous new healthcare legislation.
Go figure. According to a study released over the weekend by "The Center for Public Policy", a non-partisan public interest think tank in Washington D.C., it is estimated that a record $120 million was spent lobbying for health reform. In addition to direct lobbying, some of the top firms also rewarded members of Congress with campaign contributions through political action committees and individual lobbyist donations.
The largest of these firms, Patton Boggs LLP, contributed more than $55,000 almost exclusively to Democrats. "

Eventually, all insurance companies will go under because of the hugh premiums they will have to charge. The insured will not be able to afford to purchase their policies and forced to go to the state exchanges.
From there, the level of care and availability of doctors will decline and decline.
Then the death panels will begin to do their job.

Attention Seniors:
The Obama administration already plans to cut the Medicare Advantage program by $200 billion as part of Obamacare. However, the proposed reductions it announced in February are new, and will cut the program in addition to the planned $200 billion in Obamacare cuts, most of which are delayed in 2014.
The new cuts are also scheduled to go into effect in 2014, but as a function of the normal rate-setting process for that year, not a political effort to delay financial pain for seniors past an important election, as apparently was the case with the original Medicare cuts that Obama signed.
In its regulatory announcement, the CMS said it was assuming that

Here is another interesting article. read rest at CNS****
(CNSNews****) – The Obama administration is planning new cuts to Medicare, a federal regulatory filing reveals, cuts that could mean higher premiums or seniors losing their coverage altogether.
The new cuts come in the form of a planned reduction in the reimbursement rates the government pays to insurance companies that operate Medicare Advantage plans, which are services administered by private for-profit or non-profit providers that offer additional services than can be found in traditional Medicare.
Not looking good for the retired and those nearing retirement!

Butler (17-10, 12-4 Horizon) at Youngstown State (2-25, 0-16 Horizon)
Thursday, March 5 - 7:05 p.m.
Beeghly Center - Youngstown, Ohio
The Opening Tip: The regular season comes to a close this weekend, as Butler opens up a two-game road swing through Northeast Ohio with a stop at Youngstown State on Thursday (March 5) beginning at 7:05 p.m. at the Beeghly Center. The 2008-09 Bulldogs will try to become just the fourth team in program history to record at least 13 wins in Horizon League play while attempting to extend its six-game winning streak in the series against the Penguins.
Record Year: Butler's 12-4 league record is the program's best start to the conference season since 1997-98, while the 12 wins are tied for the fourth-most in school history and are just two shy of the program's highest total of 14 set in 1992-93.
Butler Basketball On The Web: Butler's contest against Youngstown State will feature live streaming video online at the Horizon League Network. The game can be viewed for free by clicking the "Watch on HLN" link on the calendar at www.ButlerSports.com. The contest will also feature live stats through Gametracker, which can be viewed by clicking the Gametracker link on www.ButlerSports.com.
A Look At The Bulldogs: After battling through a challenging non-conference schedule that featured six teams which advanced to post-season play in 2007-08, the Bulldogs have claimed convincing wins in their 12 of their first 16 Horizon League contests by holding their opponents to 50 or fewer points in 10 games. Strong defense has been the critical element to the team's success this year, as 14 of the Bulldogs' 16 wins have come by holding their opponents to less than 60 points. Sophomore guard Brittany Bowen has been the Bulldogs' hottest offensive player of late, leading the team with 10.6 points per game thanks to a team-high 40 three-pointers. A trio of dominant post players have been vital to the team's success, as senior Lade Akande (10.6 points, 5.9 rebounds) and juniors Melanie Thornton (10.4, 7.4) and Susan Lester (10.0, 5.8) have been among the team's top scorers and rebounders all season. Sophomore Terra Burns (2.4 assists) and senior Candyce Brown (1.8) are two of the team's best helpers and provide strong perimeter defense. The Butler bench has out-scored their foes' reserves in all but three games and accounted for nearly 40 percent of the squad's offensive output.
A Look At The Penguins: Youngstown State enters Thursday's contest with a 2-25 overall record and a 0-16 mark in Horizon League play. The Penguins have come close to ending its current 17-game losing skid in recent games, including a 68-64 defeat to UIC in which YSU led by seven early in the second and trailed by just two in the final seconds. Senior center Nikita LaFleur leads the team with 8.7 points and 8.4 rebounds per contest, while senior forward Tiara Scott boasts 8.3 points per contest. Freshman guard Macey Nortey paces the squad with 2.6 assists per game.
The Series Against Youngstown State: Thursday's contest will be the 17th meeting and the eighth contest at the Beeghly Center between Butler and YSU in women's basketball, with the Bulldogs holding an 12-5 edge in the series that dates back to 2001-02 season when the Penguins first joined the Horizon League. After YSU claimed victories in the first four contests played, Butler has rebounded to win 12 of the last 13 games, including the past six. Butler is 4-3 against the Penguins in games played in Youngstown and 12-3 in six-plus seasons under head coach Beth Couture.
The Last Time Against YSU: Butler shot a season-high 51.7 percent from the field with all but one player scoring in the game, as the Bulldogs opened up as much as a 32-point first-half lead en route to a convincing 84-50 victory over visiting Youngstown State on Jan. 5 evening at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Lade Akande led the way with 13 points, Brittany Bowen added 12 and Candace Jones chipped in eight points and team highs with eight rebounds and five assists as the Bulldogs picked up their sixth win in their last eight contests.
Phoenix Holds Off Butler: Azjah Bass and Susan Lester came off the bench to score a combined 26 points, Brittany Bowen added 12 and the Bulldogs tallied 45 second-half points to cut a 17-point deficit to five, but the effort would fall just short, as visiting Green Bay hung on for a 69-64 decision on Saturday (Feb. 28) afternoon at Hinkle Fieldhouse. After scoring just 19 points on 32 percent shooting in the opening stanza before heading into the break trailing by 12, the Butler offense hit 59 percent for 45 points in the second to turn a potential run-away into a hotly-contested final few minutes before time ran out on the comeback.
Looking Out For No. 2: At 12-4 in league play with two games remaining in the regular season, the Bulldogs can enter the Horizon League Tournament no lower than the No. 3 seed and no higher than the No. 2 seed. Butler is currently tied with Cleveland State (12-4) for second in the league standings, but the Bulldogs hold the advantage for the No. 2 seed because of their 55-46 win over the Vikings back in January. A win over CSU on Saturday (March 7) would assure Butler of the No. 2 spot in the tournament, but that doesn't mean its game against YSU on Thursday is unimportant. A win over the Penguins and a CSU loss to Valparaiso on Thursday would guarantee the Bulldogs at least a tie should they fall to the Vikings and give them a good shot at earning the tie-breaker.
Bowen To No One: Brittany Bowen has been Butler's top offensive player in the last 19 games, leading the team with 13.1 points per contest on 50 percent shooting from the field (82-for-164), 45 percent from three-point range (35-for-78) and 93 percent from the free throw line (49-of-53). The current run began with the most impressive single-game performance of her career at Miami (Ohio) on Dec. 13, as she set career-highs with 25 points, eight field goals, five three-pointers and eight rebounds. Since then, she has recorded 14 double-figure scoring games - including two with 20 or more points.
The Best Offense: ...is a great defense. Butler's defense has been crucial to the team's success this season. The Bulldogs rank third in the Horizon League and 42nd in the NCAA in scoring defense (56.6 ppg) as well as third in the conference in opponent field goal percentage (38.5 percent).
Keep It Under 60: The Bulldogs are 14-2 this season when they hold their opponent to fewer than 60 points.
...But 50 Is Better: Butler is 13-0 on the year and 10-0 in league play when it holds opponents to 50 or fewer points.
Defensive Longevity: The Bulldog defense might be one of the best in the Horizon League, but for an eight-game stretch at the start of league play, they were one of the best in school history. From Dec. 29 to Jan. 23, Butler held eight consecutive opponents to 50 or fewer points, the longest such streak in school history. Opponents averaged just 45.3 points during the run. The 1978-79 team held the previous mark of seven-straight of allowing 50 or fewer.
Century Mark: The Bulldogs' win over UIC on Feb. 12 gave head coach Beth Couture her 100th victory at Butler. Her 102 wins are the third-most in school history, ranking behind only Linda Mason (124) and June Olkowski (114).
Back In The Black: Not only did Butler's win over UIC give Beth Couture 100 victories in her Bulldog career, but it also boosted her record above .500 for the first time in her six-plus seasons at the helm. She currently boasts a 102-101 mark at Butler. Couture has matched or increased the Bulldogs' win total in each of her previous seasons, going from just six in her first year to 20 last year. She boasts a 360-218 (.623) record in over 19 seasons of coaching between both Butler and Presbyterian College.
You're Number Two: With 1,645 points scored in her career, senior center Lade Akande ranks second on the Bulldogs' all-time scoring list. The Robinson, Ill., native steadily climbed from seventh place at the start of the season to second after passing Elza Purvlicis (1,517) with her first bucket against Youngstown State on Jan. 5. First place is pretty much out of reach, however, as Julie VonDielingen holds the school record of 2,018 points. Akande became just the 19th player in school history to notch 1,000 points in her career early last season and quickly climbed up to seventh by the end of the year. She also became the first non-senior player to reach 1,000 points in her career since Marlow in 1997-98.
...And Making Other Lists: With 731 career rebounds, Lade Akande sits alone in fifth place on the Bulldogs' career rebounding chart. She'll need 43 more to catch Sarah Schuetz in fourth place (774) and a whole lot more to reach record-holder Elza Purvlicis (1,050). Akande has a legitimate chance at finishing her career ranked in the top-10 in 11 statistical categories, including scoring average, rebounding average, field goal percentage and minutes played.
In Rare Company: With her 13 rebounds against Detroit on Feb. 8, senior center Lade Akande surpassed 700 rebounds in her career and became just the second player in school history to boast over 1,500 points, 700 rebounds and 100 blocks in her career. Elza Purvlicis (1981-84) is the other player, boasting 1,517 points, 1,050 boards and 164 blocked shots.
1,000 On The Radar: With 938 career points, junior Susan Lester has a chance to become the 20th player in school history with 1,000 career points this season. If Butler advances to the Horizon League Championship game, she would need to average 12.4 points per game to reach the total. She already finds herself on the Bulldogs' career three-pointers-made list, ranking in a tie for seventh with 108.
Get Ahead And Stay Ahead: Butler is 14-1 on the year when leading at halftime.
...And Lester Helped With That: Susan Lester's 27 points scored in the first half of the Bulldogs' win against Valparaiso on Jan. 23 was not only eight more than the entire Crusaders' roster for the half but was also tied for the highest total in a first half in all of Division I this year. Shantia Grace of South Florida scored 27 points in the first period against Coppin State on Nov. 23.
The First 20: If leading at halftime is as important as it seems, the Bulldogs' first-half defense has given them reason to be optimistic. Butler has allowed just 25.7 points in the opening period - the second-lowest mark in the league - and has held eight opponents to 20 or fewer first-half points, including six Horizon League foes.
Odd Yearly Trends: Happy New Year indeed, especially since there's a "9" on the end. In the last five calendar years (including the impressive 12-4 start to 2009), the Bulldogs boast a remarkable 48-25 record (.658) in odd years. Even years have not been as kind to Butler, however, as the Bulldogs finished both 2006 and 2008 with a combined 28-32 record (.467).
Bench Dominance: A deep bench has been critical to the Bulldogs' success this year. In fact, the Butler bench has out-scored its opponents' reserves by a staggering 309 point margin (669 to 360) for an average of over 11 more points per game (24.8 to 13.3). In fact, the team's leading scorer in 12 of 27 games has come off the bench, while the bench as a whole has accounted for nearly 40 percent of the team's total offense (669 of 1,728).
Speaking Of Bench Scoring: Susan Lester's 31 points off the bench against Valparaiso on Jan. 23 was tied for the second-highest bench player total in Division I this season. Jessica Breland of North Carolina also scored 31 points off the bench at Oklahoma on Nov. 23.
Crime Prevention: Opponents have not had much luck picking the pockets of the Bulldogs this year. Butler has averaged just 15.9 turnovers per game, including season-low nine at IPFW on Nov. 18. The Bulldogs' average puts them at the top of the league standings and 54th in the NCAA in fewest turnovers per game, while their +3.22 turnover margin is second in the conference and 49th in the nation.
Battle-Tested: The Bulldogs will play a total of 10 games during the regular season against teams that advanced to post-season play during the 2007-08 campaign, including Cleveland State, Dayton, Evansville, Green Bay, Indiana, Miami (Ohio), Nebraska and Ohio State. The Bulldogs have won three of the eight meetings so far, topping Evansville (70-52), Miami (86-81, 2OT) and CSU (55-46).
Post Presence: The Bulldogs are 11-3 on the season and 6-0 in league play when at least two members of their post trio of senior Lade Akande and juniors Susan Lester and Melanie Thornton finish with double-figure point totals.
Taking Advantage Of Charity: Butler is 16-1 on the season when it out-scores its opponents from the free throw line, including a perfect 11-0 mark in league play.
Charitable Efforts: Brittany Bowen paces the Horizon League with a .930 free throw percentage in conference play, hitting 40 of her 43 attempts from the line.
Quite A Year: Melanie Thornton has put together a year to remember. Her 281 points, 201 rebounds and 65 steals through 27 games this year have already well surpassed her career totals in her 55 games combined as a freshman and sophomore (176, 141, 21). Her 7.4 rebounds per game are tops on the team, while her 10.4 points per contest are the third most.
Among The League's Best: Thornton's performance this year not only has her ranked at the top of the team's stats but also have her among the best in the Horizon League. She is listed in the league's top-10 in five categories, including second place in defensive boards and third place marks in blocks and total rebounds.
What Can Brown Do For You?: It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that the Bulldogs are an impressive 13-4 this season with senior guard Candyce Brown as a starter. A team co-captain this season, Brown's leadership on the floor has been vital to the success of the team, so much so that she leads the Bulldogs with 28.4 minutes played per league game.
Making Her Point: In just her second season, sophomore Terra Burns has stepped up as the Bulldogs' top option at the point in 2008-09. The Peoria, Ill., native has earned a starting spot in 19 games this season - the first of her career - and has been the Butler starter at the one-guard in 16 of the last 17 contests. She has averaged a team-high 2.4 assists per game and boasts 7.1 points per game in league contests.
Dominating The League Stats: As if the 12-4 league record wasn't indicative enough. The Bulldogs rank among the top-three in the league in a total of 10 conference-only statistical categories, including scoring offense, scoring defense, scoring margin, rebounds and blocks.
Downright Offensive: Susan Lester's 31 points against Valpo finished just six shy of the Butler school record and was the school's highest single-game point total since Sarah Bolten matched the Bulldog record with 37 against Bowling Green on Dec. 4, 2001. Lester's 27 first half points were eight more than the entire Valparaiso roster and her 10 first period field goals made were twice that of the Crusaders.
So You Want To Be A Coach: Senior guard Tara Miller has been invited to participate in the upcoming seventh annual Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) So You Want To Be A Coach Program to be held in conjunction with the organization's national convention April 3-7 in St. Louis, Mo. She is one of just 54 women's basketball players in the country to be named to the 2009 class. Each participant is selected based on their academics, contributions to women's basketball on and off the court, professional resume and a written recommendation from their head coach.
Marginally Impressive: Butler has had quite a knack for registering big wins this season. In fact, 10 of Butler's 17 wins have come by margins of 15 or more points, while four have been by 30 or more, including a dominant 43-point victory over Christian Brothers that ranks as the 15th-largest margin in school history. The 1982-83 Bulldogs were the last squad to post four or more 30-point wins in a season.
Grand Theft: The Bulldogs' 25 steals against Christian Brothers rank as the second-highest single-game total in the Horizon League this season and is just four behind the league record of 29, set by Notre Dame during the 1990-91 season. The output helped to boost Butler from a league fourth-place average of 9.8 steals per contest to a league-best 11.2 in just one game.
Sharp-Shooters: Butler's 55.0 field goal percentage (22-for-40) against Wright State on Feb. 6 was the program's best single-game accuracy in nearly 10 years, when the Bulldogs hit 31-of-50 (62.0 percent) from the field against (coincidentally) the Raiders on Feb. 20, 1999. Butler has hit over 50 percent in just two other games this season, coming at home against Youngstown State and Valparaiso.
Bulldogs Ink Four For 2009-10: High school seniors Becca Bornhorst (6-1, F, Dublin, Ohio), Claire Freeman (5-9, G, Fishers, Ind.), Dragana Grbic (6-3, C, Terre Haute, Ind.) and Liz Jennings (6-1, F, Anderson, Ind.) each signed National Letters of Intent on the first day of the Early Signing Period. The quartet will attend Butler and play basketball beginning next fall.
Next Up: Butler closes the regular season on
the road when it faces host Cleveland State in a potential battle
for second place in the Horizon League standings on Saturday (March
7) beginning at 3:00 p.m. at the Wolstein Center.

Sports | Critics differ on whether the NCAA's punishment of Penn State fits the crime
The NCAA levied stiff penalties last month against the Penn State football program for its failure to properly police former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, a homosexual pedophile found guilty of sexually abusing 10 boys over a period of more than a decade. A report commissioned by the school found that top staffers, including head coach Joe Paterno, concealed allegations against Sandusky, allowing his despicable behavior to go on unchecked.
Citing a desire to change the Penn State culture that apparently valued preserving football over protecting the innocent, the NCAA crippled the college's football program past and future with 13 years of nullified victories, reduced scholarships, four years of bowl ineligibility, and amnesty for any current players desiring to transfer elsewhere. The punishment ensures Penn State will field a losing team for many years to come. A chorus of criticism and praise followed the NCAA's announcement. Here's a sample:
I don't understand why the NCAA would get involved with a situation that is really criminal and doesn't involve the athletic department.
-Franco Harris, Penn State alumnus and Hall of Fame running back
The NCAA action for Penn State may give the NCAA and its council of presidents a brief moment of moral superiority. They have punished and humiliated a bad actor-and they may think they don't have to hold a mirror to themselves.
-Anne D. Neal, president of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni
I applaud the NCAA for standing up and doing the right thing. There have to be consequences to this type of behavior. ... No consequence cuts out all wrongdoing, but this makes people think.
-Fran Tarkenton, Hall of Fame quarterback
Sadly, in our experience, which has been mostly with church organizations, monetary fines have little impact with decision-makers. These are long-standing attitudes and practices that can't be fined out of existence.
-David Clohessy, director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests
In truth, the scandal at Penn State is only incidentally about football. Mostly it is about the collapse of authority. There was a day when our colleges held themselves to higher standards than the society around them. Today they look to police, the courts, and outside institutions such as the NCAA to do a job they are clearly unwilling or unable to do.
-Bill McGurn, Wall Street Journal columnist
I think all members of the NCAA should be worried about what this means down the road. This is clearly a precedent that expands the NCAA's authority over member institutions.
-Gary Roberts, dean of Indiana University's School of Law
The genius of the sanctions is that they speak directly to the coaches in the most powerful football programs in the country and say your records are at stake. That will deter these kinds of cover-ups in the future.
-Marci Hamilton, attorney representing an Ohio man in a sex-abuse lawsuit against Sandusky and Penn State
[T]o eliminate those wins, I think, is idiotic. What the hell did those kids have to do with it? They're not punishing Paterno. Paterno's dead. They're punishing these kids that graduated, that played the game. I think that is ridiculous, that part of it.
-Bobby Knight, the second-winningest basketball coach in NCAA history
What's important in the Penn State case is that this be seen as a wake-up call for people in charge of institutions that they will be held accountable for what they do to human beings, especially the most vulnerable in our midst.
-Rev. Thomas Doyle, a Catholic priest who has testified about church cover-ups in hundreds of sex-abuse trials

Calla Lilies Wedding Invitations
Calla lilies are very lovely flowers which can be used for lots of things when it comes to your wedding. You can have a wonderful calla lily bridal bouquet, centerpieces or even incorporate this flower into your wedding invitations. They come in a variety of shades and colors and they all look lovely no matter what shades they have. You could use colorful images for your invitations or opt for a simple and elegant white lily. The models can be either hand painted or drawings or they can be simple images downloaded from the internet. These flowers can be placed in the corner of the invitation, in the center, top or bottom of the invite. You will need to look into these details once you have chosen the models invite that you like best. To make the invite more shinny and to make it stand out, these calla lilies can be embellished with some glitter and sparkles to make them be more appealing to the guests.
These invites can also be hand made ones and they can be very special. The calla lilies can actually be made from rhinestones or be sowed onto the invite. There are many different ways to interpret flowers patterns on invitations. So if you want something special this would be a great choice. Just keep in mind that hand made or custom made invites will cost more than regular ones that you buy online. They require skills and a lot of time invested in them so they turn out the way the clients expects them too.
So look online and find some stores that you like, look at the samples and place your order. Include some verses or some pomes if you wish the wording to be special as well. They can be typed or handwritten, whichever you like best. Make sure to go with some RSVP cards and include a phone umber so that the guests can call and ask for direction or whatever other questions they might have. So find the invitations designs that you like and make sure they are exactly what you've wanted. Given the fact that the invitations are the first thing the guests will see, they need to be flawless.

An important message
by Ken Pomeroy on Monday, October 31, 2011
I'm going to a subscription model this season. I don't know if I need to say any more than that because most of you reading this, especially if it's in the first week of November, know what to expect when you come here. And you may have even considered what would happen if you were no longer allowed to freely roam around all corners of this place. So perhaps the rest of this is unnecessary, but I encourage you to read on.
I've maintained this site for roughly a decade. Admittedly, it was pretty awful in its initial form. After a few years of aimless wandering, the goal of this site became more focused late in the 2004 season: Improve the understanding of college basketball through statistical analysis. I've talked ad nauseum about why the light bulb went on then so I won't repeat it here, but since then, I've…

You're a flip-flop gal all the way, but at those times when you need to hike to the entrance of the secret beach or scamper out of the way of a wayward bicyclist, you sometimes question that lifestyle choice. Teva comes to the rescue with the Women's Bomber Flip Sandal, which combines the freedom of a flip-flop with the security of a technical sandal. Teva threw in a whole lot of support and comfort, too, so the only thing you'll end up questioning is why you'd wear anything else.
- Adjustable instep strap can be tightened down for hiking or boating, or stowed for everyday wear
- Spider Rubber + JStep outsole keep its grip on slippery surfaces
- Blown rubber footbed resists water absorption so it doesn't end up soggy
- Shoc Pad in the heel absorbs (you guessed it) shock

Teva Bomber Flip Sandal - Women's
Return of the river sandal
I recommend these for any lady like me who likes to be out and go on an impromptu hike if necessary. I've always loved this style of shoe, because they're not as bulky as a Chaco, more casual than a sandal, and are truly hard core. Always get the size above if you're a half. I wear 7.5 shoes and got an 8. It's perfect for rough surfaces, gives the arch a bit of lift, and holds close to the ankle, which is what I like most. These are the best thong-improvised shoe ever. Highly recommended!

ST. LOUIS -- Diamondbacks reliever David Hernandez is glad to see Major League Baseball pursing stiff penalties for the players connected to a Miami-area clinic that allegedly supplied performance-enhancing drugs.
Count Hernandez among those who would like to see stiffer penalties for those caught doping. He said he wants the stiffest ban possible for first-time offenders.
"You want my opinion?" Hernandez said. "I think you should be out of baseball. It sounds harsh but at the end of the day you're making it harder on somebody else who is trying to make it in the game. You're essentially ending somebody else's career if you're cheating and putting up numbers. You should be done."
Hernandez said that though there might not be positive test results for the players connected to Biogenesis of America clinic, he's happy to see the commissioner's office pushing forward in seeking suspensions for about 20 players connected, including Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun.
"It's not fair to all of us who have played the game the right way," he said. "I think there should be stiffer penalties from the get-go. Apparently 50 games isn't enough to stop players from cheating. A lot of us feel that way around here. Basically you're cheating us, the players. Not only the fans, but us, the union."
Short hops
Right-hander Daniel Hudson was scheduled to visit with team physician Dr. Michael Lee on Thursday afternoon, but Hudson declined comment, referring questions to the club, and the team did not provide information.
Hudson left his rehab start on Tuesday with Double-A Mobile with elbow stiffness.
Closer J.J. Putz (elbow) is expected to throw off the mound Saturday.

text: Home Blogs The Grapevine Blue Wall of Silence and Support for the Officers Involved in the Death of Eric Garner Exists Online Police officers are anonymously showing support for those involved in Eric Garner's death, and their true colors in the process. By: Yesha Callahan Posted: July 23 2014 8:42 AM 0 Screenshot of video footage of police attempting to handcuff Eric Garner that shows an officer apparently placing him in a choke hold on July 17, 2014. YOUTUBE Last week's death of Eric Garner, who was killed after a New York police officer apparently used an illegal choke hold during his arrest, has sparked outrage not only throughout New York City, but also throughout the country and online. The violent arrest, which was captured on a cellphone video, was called "very troubling" by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. On Sunday, the Rev. Al Sharpton, speaking at Riverside Church in Manhattan, said he was appalled at the way police had handled the situation. "None of them said, 'Let's stop. He can't breathe,'" the activist told churchgoers, the New York Daily News reports. "Even if police procedures don't kick in, when does your sense of humanity kick in? Have we gotten so cold?" So far two officers who were involved have been stripped of their badges and guns, and four EMS workers have been placed on modified duty. As many social media have rallied in support of Garner, the blue wall of silence on various Internet communities reinforces the negative connotation that exists for the boys in blue. PoliceOne.com is a popular online community for law-enforcement members where a recent article in regard to Garner's death was posted. Anonymous members, who have to be verified by the site to show that they are actually police officers, have commented on the article, and not only are the comments telling of the mentality of officers, but also, not shocking in the least. Here's a sampling of what's being said: SAPDMAS If you can't breath you can't be able to talk. This POS died because he was a coronary waiting to happen. I am sure if he had just let them cuff him he might of been ok to eat another triple decker burger with double bacon again. But fat boy had to over exert himself and his blocked arteries caught up with him. tpaw7: You may say "f&ck the police" but you may not f&ck with the police. It's sad that he died, but that blame goes to he and he alone. The police generally don't show up ten deep at your door just to say hey. This pervasive mentality that these assholes seem to have about not listening to the lawful orders of the police is what leads to these deaths and injuries. All he had to do was comply and he would not be dead. Tough s--t and too damn bad. samuelx: Of course the media isn't going to point out how many thousands of dollars of untaxable income a mope can make in a week selling illegal cigarettes (while also receiving welfare benefits)... pike942: If he could talk, he could breath. He resisted arrest; they took him to the ground. I didn't see anything improper about the arrest. reltubs3314: Anytime a person says "I'm tired of it. It stops today." That will almost always end with the use of force. He made that decision, not the Police. The Police must effect the arrest and rise above any resistance. That resistance or lack of resistance is determined by the suspect. This was a huge man and it appears to me they used minimal force. Sometimes people with pre-existing conditions die when they exert themselves. There are Police Officers that have heart attacks and die every year during physical altercations with subjects. You will not see main stream media featuring those in their headlines. This is nothing more than petty blame shifting and fuel for extremist with an agenda. What's so telling about most of the comments is that it shows a lack of compassion and a solidarity when it comes to some in law enforcement. It also further perpetuates the negative stereotype that many have for those in uniform. As the screams of injustice surrounding the death of Garner increase, it's apparent that there are those who feel his death was justified.

Congress lacks basic knowledge management, finds paper
Congress lacks basic knowledge management strategies, depending instead on outdated systems for information referral, sorting, communicating and collaborating, according to a policy document (.pdf) published Dec. 4 by the New America Foundation.
Lawmakers have information—in fact, they are drowning in it—but they do not have a deliberate system providing inclusive information that is not overshadowed by special interest and advocacy-group data, writes Lorelei Kelly, a research fellow at the New America Foundation.
There are, however, some new legislative dashboards and communication management tools that are helping. Correlate helps legislators with constituent correspondence, iConstituent offers data management and communications tools and Popvox provides information curation and gathers constituent input on pending legislation, says the report.
However, use of such tools is not widespread, they are not a silver bullet and broader organizational problems exacerbate the problem of knowledge asymmetry within Congress, writes Kelly. For example, there is a serious disparity between the subject matter information provided to committees, that provided to personal staff on the Hill and that provided to staff back home in the state or district.
Not all politicians want to routinely share data or encourage robust knowledge management either, notes the report.
"Reaction and ignorance about long term impacts of decision making inevitably serves one interest or another," writes Kelly. "On any particular action, one side will want to minimize negative outcomes and highlight benefits."
The report makes several recommendations for improving knowledge management within Congress. Among them, Kelly suggests Congress open more data so outside groups can create tools to benefit public information access and explore creating knowledge tools for public sharing and submission of information using new technologies.
The report also recommends the Congressional Research Service adopt mapping tools to help members see consolidated data, via dashboards.

During Silurian-Devonian times, the progressive colonisation of the land by plants ("terrestrialization") marked a period of major global change on the planet. The increase in areal extent of the vegetation cover together with the evolution in plant architecture and physiologies, appear to closely correlate to climate changes, to evolution of atmospheric composition and soil chemical differentiation, and to profound modification of weathering rates and nutrient input into the oceans. This study, based chiefly on cryptospores and miospores from North Africa (Ghadamis Basin, southern Tunisia), is a contribution to the understanding of the terrestrialization process, its timing and its palaeoenvironmental consequences across the Silurian-Devonian transition in Gondwana. Well preserved and diversified palynological assemblages throughout the Silurian-Devonian boundary have been documented from borehole MG-1 in the northern part of Ghadamis Basin (southern Tunisia). Over 60 species of cryptospores and trilete spores have been identified and their relative abundance estimated.
Trilete spores of simple morphology such as Ambitisporites constitute the dominant component of the palynological spectrum in almost all the studied levels. Miospores as Archaeozonotriletes, like Ambitisporites but with a thin proximal contact, mainly characterise the lower part of the succession of Ludlow (Ludfordian) age. In this portion, other trilete spores such as Emphanisporites, Synorisporites, and Lophozonotriletes in association with a relatively well diversified cryptospore assemblage, also occur. The cryptospores consist of permanent tetrads (e.g. Tetrahedraletes and Rimosetras), dyads (Dyadospora), pseudodyads (Pseudodyadospora), and monads (e.g. Gneudnaspora). Going upward along the succession, the relative abundance of trilete spores increases relatively to cryptospore abundance. Miospores as Apiculeretusispora and tripapillate trilete spores co-occur with Retusotriletes, Brochotriletes, and Chelinospora. The incoming of these forms approximately suggests a Pridoli age. The uppermost studied succession is constituted by Lochkovian assemblages. These are mainly characterised by a diversification of tripapillate spores with Emphanisporites spp. and Streelispora, with permanent tetrads, pseudodyads, dyads.
The increase in trilete spore abundance is accompanied by an increase in diversity. The recognised miospore assemblages can be correlated with miospore zonal schemes defined in the type sequences of the Welsh Borderland and those described from North Africa. The results of this study are discussed in terms of their importance relatively to the identification of the Silurian-Devonian boundary in the study area, and to their bearing on the analysis of patterns of colonization of terrestrial environments by the early land plants.

I had previously set up Windows to use Wilbur to open my .hf2/.hfz and .bt documents when they were double clicked. Since I grabbed the latest version of Wilbur, Winders no longer allows me to do that. Even when I browse to the Wilbur1.exe file in Program Files, Windows simply ignores me.
Is this an issue with Wilbur or is there just something new and wonky in my Windows install? Can anybody help me out here?
Thanks all!
btw, I'm a fullan mac nerd, but I'm slightly helpless with Windows, bear with me please.

Blue Byte Software's Battle Isle series is making a come-back, but it won't be handled by Blue Byte Software and it won't happen (at least as quickly) without some of your money. A new game is being developed by Stratotainment and Thomas Hertzler, the co-founder of Blue Byte. Hertzler sold the company to Ubisoft in 2001. Blue Byte is best known for the Battle Isle series, the spin-off Incubation series, and it's most popular franchise, The Settlers.
The original Battle Isle series were turn-based strategy games set on a fictional planet that used a hex-based map and combat system similar to what was used in classic war games of the 80s and 90s. The new game is set in an alternate Earth after World War II where alien invaders force the countries of the world to work together to defeat a common foe. The game is called Battle Isle: Threshold Run, and is being developed for iOS devices.
The game features a number of different factions: an elite German military force called the GSK (who do all the fighting, for some reason); the Allies (Britain, the US and France, who provide support for the GSK); the United Nations (in the game the UN is a combination of the UN and NATO); and pesky invading aliens.
Battle Isle: Threshold Run promises over 20 campaigns, bonus missions to improve your armory, gameplay that is highly replayable, WWII era units (including advanced prototypes based on historical data); alien technology based on "plausible engineering and science," a free movement system, and seamless air, land and sea combat. Hertzler and company are using a custom built game engine called Battle Isle-Integrated Command System (BI-ICS) for the game to make unit movement more fluid and open ended.
"Now that we are in alpha, I am really excited to see the game come together. I think gamers will appreciate the way we are re-designing the land and air battle spaces," Hertzler said in a statement today. "For instance, while the ground forces are slugging it out in the dirt, you can have dog-fights in the sky. We are using the Battle Isle Integrated Command System, or BI-ICS, to create a bridge between land and air so that both can affect each other. This unique system allows us to bring units from different military branches together without restricting their abilities."
Stratotainment is seeking $75,000 to further polish the game and bring it to market by the fourth quarter of this year. If the campaign makes it to $135,000 Stratotainment will bring the game to Windows PCs and Mac OS X.
For more information on Battle Isle: Threshold Run, visit www.stratotainment.com, or check out the pitch video featuring alpha footage to your left. You can find the Kickstarter campaign page here.

Roger Federer - Basel
The tourney's homeboy made it three titles in a row Sunday when he dismissed nemesis David Nalbandian 6-3, 6-4 in 70 minutes increasing the pair's head-to-head 10-8 in favor of Fed. Although Basel is a smaller tourney, this win over a baller who has given the Swiss maestro fits in the past in front of his home crowd should give him added confidence. The 27-year old will now travel to the Paris Masters where he will be playing his third consecutive tourney after taking a self-imposed break from the ATP Tour to rest - I suppose he got the recovery he needed, eh?
Andy Murray - St. Petersburg
The Brit baller earned his second consecutive title and fifth overall this year (second to Rafael Nadal's eight) when crushed qualifier Andrey Golubev 6-1, 6-1 in just 56 minutes. Andy is now on a 12-match winning streak after capturing his second consecutive Masters title in Madrid last week and is playing the best ball out out of anyone right now.
Robin Soderling - Lyon
The Swede earned his first ATP title in three years with a 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-1 win over Frenchie Julien Benneteau. The 24-year old had gone 0-3 in finals this year (Rotterdam, Memphis, Stockholm) but will now crack the Top 20 for the first time in his career with this win.
Ana Ivanovic - Linz
After a mid-season slump filled with injury and self-doubt the Serb grabbed her first championship since Roland Garros, utterly dominating an in-form Vera Zvonareva 6-2, 6-1. This win should set Ana up nicely for a big run in Doha - can she steal the moment away from compatriot and top lady baller Jelena Jankovic at the coming WTA Championships?
Elena Dementieva - Luxembourg
The every-ready Russian (does she ever take a break?) took home her third title of the year when she edged out Caroline Wozniacki 2-6, 6-4, 7-6(4).

The State Highway Patrol is releasing new information about Monday's bus accident in Beaufort County that sent several students to the hospital.
Troopers say the driver of the Pontiac car, 26 year-old Frances Austin, drove left of center and side swiped the bus. Troopers say the impact sent the bus out of control on Robersonville road. Both the school bus and car drivers, along with several students, were taken to the hospital.
A Beaufort County school spokesperson reminds parents that buses are one of the safest forms of transportation.
The bus driver is home recovering and all but three of the students on the bus returned to school. Officials say the car driver suffered minor injuries.

In the Loose Headset thread I mentioned that I wrote to Chris King asking about a headset for my K2. They don't make one. The response from the guy was quite thorough and I thought I'd share it with the rest of you folks.
My email
Their replyGreetings,
I have an '03 K2 Mach 2.0 which comes with a "Ritchey Logic Comp integrated zero-stack". I have had trouble with the headset and took the bike to the shop today and told them to put a new Chris King headset in it. They called me back and said that the headsets were frame specific and they didn't have one for the K2 frame.
Are these guys right? (I hope not).
To see the specs of my bike surf to:
There's a link at the bottom of that page that shows the
specifications for the bike, frame and fork.
Hopefully the guys at the shop will get the new headset installed and all will be well. If not I'm going to ask them to take the bike back and give me full credit for it. In return I'll buy the Raleigh SuperCorse they have on the showroom floor.The Perdido Headset is an internal headset type that is very similar to the standard headset that we've all used over the years, other than the fact that the whole assembly fits neatly inside the frame's head tube. The bearings are pressed into cups and the cups are pressed into the frame. Just like a normal headset. "Integrated" headsets use bearings that are not securely pressed into the frame, they are held in place by the headset adjustment alone. King Cycle Group considers this imprecise and shoddy design to be extremely bad engineering work. As an alternative to the "integrated" headset, we introduced Perdido.
A standard (the Perdido Standard) is associated with the Perdido Headset because specific frame dimensions are required for the headset to function properly. A frame that is built to these specification is deemed "Perdido Compatible". The Perdido Standard is free to anyone who wishes to look at it or use it to make frames or headsets, there is no licensing agreement. Anyone using the Perdido Standard to build their bicycle components should label their component "Perdido Compatible".
Some frames built to accept the Cane Creek "Zero-Stack" headset (not the
IS-6) can be modified to accept a Perdido Headset. In these specific cases, the head tube can be reamed to the correct depth and bore diameter to accept a Perdido Headset. You must check with your frame manufacturer before converting your bike over to Perdido. King Cycle Group accepts no responsibility for any damages that occur as a result of any frame modifications. Work with your frame builder.
Frames designed to accept the Cane Creek IS-6 or the Campagnolo Hiddenset are considered "Integrated Headset" frames and cannot be modified to accept the Perdido Headset. We are sorry to say it, but if you buy a bike that uses either of these headset styles, you won't be installing a King Headset.
We feel so strongly about how bad a design the whole "integrated" thing is that we simply refuse to make parts that validate its existence and prolong its survival. We are actively campaigning against integrated headsets in the bike industry because we feel that it ultimately harms the customer and the bike shop. The frame will eventually be rendered unusable and unfixable due to the nature of how the "integrated" headset beats against the head tube. Plus, it builds a heavier bike that is at least twice as likely to have a creaky headset.
Our advice is to avoid any frame that is built to accept the Cane Creek IS-6, the Campagnolo Hiddenset, the Columbus Headset, Schwinn's ICBM, or any other "integrated" headset. The Conventional Headset that we've all been using for many years is very, very difficult to beat. It is lighter and stronger and more durable than anything that any integrated headset can offer. Perdido is an option, but the standard, plain old headset is still the very best option at this point.
Hope that answers your question

October 19, 2010 – The results are in, and the winners are…Isabella and Jayden. The Health Department's latest annual tally of New York City birth certificates shows that Isabella edged out Sophia in 2009 as the most popular name for baby girls, while Jayden held steady at number one for boys. Some 1,424 newborn New Yorkers were dubbed Isabella or Jayden last year, up from 1,364 in 2008.
Nine of the top 10 girls' names for 2009 were holdovers from 2008, but newcomer Leah (ninth place) ousted Samantha, who fell to 14th. Among boys, Alexander made it into the top 10 for the first time on record, edging out Ryan. And while the city produced its usual crop of Emilys, Daniels and Michaels last year, it also gave the world two dozen more Wilmers and Adelaides.
Preferences vary broadly across racial and ethnic groups. Isabella was the most popular female name for Hispanic families, while Madison remained a favorite with black parents. Sophia, the top pick for Asian girls in 2007 and 2008, retained the crown in 2009. Olivia held the lead among white families. Among boys, most Hispanic and black families again opted for the ever-popular Jayden, while Asian families stuck with Ryan and white families favored Michael.
A detailed list of the most popular baby names for 2009, broken down by race/ethnicity and sex, is available on the Health Department's Vital Statistics Web page.
New Yorkers continue to take cues from movie, music, sports and fashion icons as they search for the perfect name. Last year's big draws included actresses Scarlett and Penelope (tied at #104), singers Usher (#158) and Rihanna (#107), athletes Peyton (#171) and Brady (#158), model Iman (#147) and fashion designers Chanel (#139) and Armani (#150). Zahara (#145) and Jayden (#1) – names chosen by celebrity parents Angelina Jolie and Will Smith – were also popular.
Religious figures were an even bigger source of inspiration. Holy names for girls included Esther (#21) and Genesis (#43), while Joshua (#8), Jacob (#12), Noah (#30) and Jeremiah (#34) were often bestowed upon boys.
Among the rarest names chosen for girls (as few as 10) were Nava and Zeldy. The most uncommon boy names included Drake, Orion and Pinchus.
Whatever their names, babies do best when they're nurtured by healthy parents in secure surroundings. Here are some secrets to a healthy pregnancy and healthy child.
The Health Department's Bureau of Vital Statistics compiles baby name lists from birth certificates. Each year, the list of most popular baby names is published in the agency's Annual Summary of Vital Statistics. For more information on baby names, visit Vital Statistics. New Yorkers can also visit the Office of Vital Records for information on obtaining a birth certificate.

Josh Duhamel was already adorable and perfect, but after looking at his Instagram you're going to love him even more. Yes, it is possible.
Josh has filled his Instagram with all of my favorite things: babies, dogs, and him looking sexy on set. The only problem with it is that he doesn't post pictures every five minutes. That's the only way that it could be better.
Josh has posted countless pictures of his son Axl, which is great because Axl is the cutest baby ever. In true first time dad fashion, Josh likes to make his son pose for pictures, whether it's holding a happy birthday sign for mom Fergie or wearing an adorable tuxedo bib in honor of the Oscars. Josh likes to make his son look adorable, and I have absolutely no problem with it.
As you might know, Josh is also a huge fan of dogs, and even rescued a pup of his own named Zoe. So along with babies, there are pictures of dogs – and babies with dogs. Ugh. Yes.
Josh has a lot of pictures of him on set as well, particularly from his movie Lost In The Sun. He even has a shot of a newspaper article that had a wanted ad with a sketch artist drawn picture of him. For the movie, of course. There's no way a guy who loves cuddly creatures that much could ever be a criminal.
His only crime is stealing our hearts. Ha ha ha….but really, it's so true.
