According to the IDC, Microsoft is still doing well in one of the largest and most important emerging markets, India. Latest figures have Windows Phone at a 5.4% market share, giving Microsoft's mobile OS a ranking of second most popular OS in that country, ahead of the iPhone and BlackBerry.
This will be the third-consecutive quarter that Windows Phone has held that position in India, meaning this is not a variance.
The IDC commented on the continued growth of Windows Phone in that country, noting that the OS is projected to continue to climb in market share over the coming years. According to Manasi Yadav, Senior Market Analyst, Client Devices, IDC India:
"Windows Phone powered Nokia Lumia devices have achieved a striking growth in their volumes within a very short time since their launch in India. With new Windows Phone devices getting launched at short intervals, we expect them to continue on this growth trajectory"
Nokia of course has been pushing hard in India for the last two years but they have not really hit their stride until 2013, when they were able to release numerous devices at various price ranges. Those devices include Lumia 520, 620, 625, 720, 820, 920 and 925. The Nokia Lumia 1020 is expected to launch there soon too.
Recently, Indian Windows Phone users were treated to an official IRCTC app for train service, which is an exclusive to the platform. State Bank of India (SBI) has also launched an official app and Nokia has teamed up with mobile operators there to offer free or reduced data packages when purchasing a Lumia Windows Phone.
Despite some ongoing tax issues between Nokia and the Indian government, both entities are poised to move forward and forge an agreement. Nokia appears to have grounded its feet in the country and is prepared for long haul growth. Hopefully that 5.4% market share will climb higher to a more poignant 10% or more in 2014.
In related news, Windows Phone recently took the lead in Russia, has had explosive growth in Vietnam and is the second most popular OS in Latin America. Windows Phone's greatest potential appears to be outside of the United States.

Friedel dropped as record run ends
Brad Friedel's record run of 310 consecutive Barclays Premier League starts was brought to an end after manager Andre Villas-Boas named Hugo Lloris in Tottenham's starting line-up for the game against Aston Villa.
Friedel's place in the Spurs team has been under threat ever since Villas-Boas signed France skipper Lloris from Lyon for £8million on transfer deadline day.
The Spurs boss chose 41-year-old Friedel for the following four games, using Lloris only in the Europa League.
But on Sunday he decided to drop Friedel, bringing to an end a hugely impressive run for the American that began in 2004 while he was at Blackburn.
Friedel has been in imperious form for Tottenham this term, with his stand-out performance coming against Norwich last month when he almost single-handedly stopped the Londoners from slipping to defeat.
The American, who has also played for Liverpool, Galatasaray and Sunday's opponents Villa, may have conceded two at Old Trafford last week, but neither were disastrous mistakes.
Villas-Boas must have decided that now is the time to see if Lloris has what it takes to cut it in the Premier League.
Lloris' introduction for Friedel was the only change to Villas-Boas' side as they looked to register their fourth straight league win.

When I told my students that our final class would focus on the topic of failure, there were winces all around. But in the end, most of them told me that this unit was their favorite. "Next time, why don't you start the class with this?" one student even asked.
The idea of spending a session on failure came to me after listening to an NPR piece about its prominent place in the lives of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. "This is, like, failure central. We are, like, connoisseurs of failure, experts in both avoiding it and living with it ongoing," said Paul Graham, founder of the start-up funder Y Combinator.
The nine students in my "Living Strategically" seminar are members of UMass Amherst's Commonwealth Honors College. They are talented, articulate, and thoughtful, with high aspirations and transcripts filled with As. All of them are preparing to apply for post-graduate fellowships. They have lots of experience with success, not so much with failure.
They reminded me of myself at their age, and I wanted to offer them something that would have been useful to me then: The idea that failure can be a fertile starting place. That it's a natural part of life — temporary, not defining. It took me a long time to learn this. I'd like to think that my students are well on their way to learning it now.
Our jumping off point was journalist Rick Newman's Rebounders: How Winners Pivot from Setback to Success, which I previously wrote about here. The book had resonated with me when I read it last year – Newman shares my curiosity about the underpinnings of resilience – and happily my students loved it, one describing it as the "punchline" of the semester. In particular, they responded to Newman's personal story of climbing back from setbacks. The rebounder as role model: It's something we could use more of.
Perhaps more than anything, I wanted to drive home the notion that failure doesn't have to be such a big deal. Like the Wizard of Oz – "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!" — failure isn't really what it claims to be. Behind the curtain is this little guy, madly ginning up the special effects to create a lot of noise. And because there's nothing like humor to put things into perspective, I had students watch Laura Zigman's "Failure is the New Success" video, as funny as it is true. Point made.
Finally, we read a piece that I'd serendipitously stumbled across at work the week before – New Yorker writer and surgeon (and Harvard School of Public Health professor) Atul Gawande's beautiful meditation on "Failure and Rescue," delivered as a commencement address at Williams College. Gawande observes that good hospitals have lots of things go wrong – as many as their less successful peers. Research has shown that great hospitals "didn't fail less. They rescued more." (This piece also won student accolades, with one saying that she'd sent it on to a number of friends.)
A major focus of the "Living Strategically" seminar is writing a personal story, and throughout the semester, we spent a lot of time talking about crafting a compelling narrative. What makes something interesting? What makes it boring? In a fascinating Harvard Business Review piece, Herminia Ibarra and Kent Lineback reflect on why so many career changers are terrible storytellers. The answer: They rely too much on chronology, failing to craft stories that tap into sources of continuity and coherence. They fail to choose story forms that suit their tales of reinvention.
Stories are powerful. We shape our stories, but our stories then shape us. That has never been clearer to me than it's been since I started Plan B Nation. Here is what I wish for my students, for all of us: That our success stories are vibrant and expansive enough to incorporate—and honor—our failures.

The crimes of Daniel Lugo, Adrian Doorbal, and John Carl Mese are genuinely horrifying, the kind of material that one expects to see discussed discreetly in a TV documentary, and to an extent, it's a little disturbing that Hollywood greenlit an early-summer Michael Bay comedy based on their story. Yet, Pain & Gain is an intriguingly self-aware, committed to portraying the trio (played by Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Mackie, and Dwayne Johnson) as morons so drunk with steroids and the American dream that they couldn't even comprehend the scope of their actions.
The most intriguing factor in this equation is Bay, who pushed to make the movie for several years, and trimmed his budget down to $25m (the lowest he's had since he made his directing debut on the first Bad Boys). It's valid to worry about Bay lionizing three murderers, but Bay's over-the-top style is actually the joke. The Daniel Lugo of this movie thinks of Pacino's Scarface as an American hero, and although Bay sounds like the kind of director that Lugo would have demanded tell his story on screen, all of Bay's usual excess is dedicated to making these guys seem cruel, greedy, and stupid. The film is bookended by perfect examples of the film's tone: Lugo's less-than-badass introduction, bouncing off the hood of a cop car into the windshield in slow motion, and one of Bay's trademark low-angle hero shots, capturing Lugo at his most deluded, staring up at barbed wire fences and decked out in prison orange as he suggests in voice-over that life still has big plans for him. Bay is the punchline to the movie's joke, in a way that slyly kids his own directorial trademarks and deflates the oversized image of these guys as dreamers. During one of the film's more grotesque moments, Bay even slips in a caption to remind the viewer that "this is still a true story," down to the last grimy detail.
To support Bay's tone, the actors walk a fine line, using sincerity in a way that both remains true to the movie's vision of the characters but plays as funny without winking to the audience. Wahlberg grabs some big moments by amping up his performance to ridiculous heights in the second half, and Mackie's glorious cluelessness is scores some of the film's biggest laughs, but Johnson walks the trickiest path, between the character's newfound faith, his drug addiction, and his ability to reconcile one with the other. In some ways, his version of Mesa is the most despicable of the three, because his delusions and selfishness have to pass through his belief that he's doing the Lord's work first. Or perhaps it's because he's the most likable and "innocent" when Lugo and Doorbal enlist him in their plan, and when he caves, it's kind of disappointing. Shalhoub also scores big comedy points as "Victor Kershaw," (the millionaire was re-named for the movie), one of the most repulsive, reprehensible victims ever (even after the guys back a truck over his face, it's hard to feel sorry for him), and Rebel Wilson provides a measure of relief from everyone else as one of the only sympathetic characters.
Although it will always be a little uncomfortable to see a major motion picture company making glossy entertainment out of real-life tragedy, Pain & Gain works that contradiction into the movie. The glib flashiness of the picture is like a realization of events through the eyes of the fictionalized Lugo, who espouses the "pain and gain" mentality without understanding what it means. As he looks out across Kershaw's patio at the ocean, drinking in the house and the money and his new life, you can hear him thinking, "and all it took was good old fashioned hard work."

Shed a few tears over Blockbuster's demise? You're not alone. But don't worry, there is a glimmer of hope for your local store, with their CEO promising that if it performs well, it might just stay open.
Basically, if you and your neighbors have been loyal to Blockbuster over the years, there's a chance they'll recognize the branch performs well and might keep it as one of their few successful stores.
CEO James Keyes said "we'll literally be evaluating every single store." Up until the end of August, they apparently had 3,300 stores across the States, but it's said they will have to shed between 500 - 1,300 at least to have a chance at making money again.
In case there are any number-crunchers out there interested in the level of troubles Blockbuster has been facing, they declared $1.46 billion in debt yesterday, with $1.02 billion in assets. [Bloomberg]

Minicars and cars with powerful engines have the most frequent insurance claims for injuries to their occupants, while high-end sports cars and luxury vehicles rack up the most expensive claims for damage.
These are just a couple of the insights that can be gleaned from the latest claims information published by the Highway Loss Data Institute. HLDI has been gathering claims data — and making it available to consumers — since shortly after it was formed in 1972. Today, HLDI collects data from companies representing about 80 percent of the market for private passenger vehicle insurance.
Alongside crash tests and ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, HLDI claims information is another valuable tool for consumers shopping for a vehicle. Collision claims data can provide a sense of how expensive it is to repair a vehicle, while injury data help fill out the safety picture. HLDI also analyzes claims under comprehensive coverage, which covers theft and damage not caused by a crash, and property damage liability insurance, which pays for damage that an at-fault driver causes to another vehicle. Loss information reflects both a vehicle's attributes and how it is driven. HLDI controls for factors such as driver age and gender, deductible, and the number of registered vehicles per square mile at the garaging location.
Despite its usefulness, HLDI's information trove is not well-known. Not that there haven't been attempts to disseminate the data more widely. In fact, the federal government distributes HLDI's collision loss data to auto dealerships, which, under a 1993 rule, are required to have copies available for any consumer who requests it. However, this fact is not well-publicized, so people rarely ask for the booklet.
The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a bill that would repeal the requirement for dealers to keep collision loss data on hand. Regardless of whether the requirement stays or goes, consumers still will be able to access complete information on collision and other types of losses online.
"For consumers concerned about insurance premiums, this information is key," says Kim Hazelbaker, HLDI senior vice president. "A lot of things go into your premium — your age, place of residence, driving record, sometimes even your credit history. The kind of vehicle you buy is the one factor that a consumer can control in the short term."
Claims data also are important from a safety perspective. Crash test ratings tell a lot, but they reflect how a vehicle's occupants are likely to fare in severe crashes that could cause serious injury or death. Such crashes account for a small fraction of total claims for injury or damage. Insurance data reflect a much wider variety of crash severities and make it possible to compare vehicles of different types in a way that can't be done with crash test information.
When it comes to collision coverage, high-end sports cars, luxury vehicles and less expensive cars with powerful engines have higher than average collision claims.
"Naturally, expensive cars cost more to fix, which is why they have such high collision losses," Hazelbaker says. "Meanwhile, cars marketed for their powerful engines tend to crash more often, a phenomenon partly explained by the type of drivers they attract and by the style of driving they lend themselves to."
Overall insurance losses are the result of claim frequency, or how often claims are made, and claim severity, or how much money is paid out on each claim. Overall losses are measured as the amount paid out per insured vehicle year. An insured vehicle year is one vehicle insured for one year, two for six months each, etc.
Among 2009-11 models, the $196,000 Ferrari California convertible tops the list for highest overall collision losses, with an average loss of $2,132 per insured vehicle year, more than 7 times the average for all vehicles. Those high losses are driven entirely by the Ferrari's high average cost per claim of $82,112, as claims are rare events. In fact, in a ranking of the vehicles with the lowest claim frequency, the Ferrari comes in second after the Chevrolet Corvette Z06.
"A car like the Ferrari tends to stay in the garage most of the time. That looks like a smart decision when you consider how expensive it is to repair crash damage on one of these," Hazelbaker says.
One car that gets driven — and crashed — more often is the Mitsubishi Lancer. The four-wheel-drive version tops the list for the highest overall collision losses for vehicles priced under $30,000. Its losses average $707 per insured vehicle year. The Lancer is a good example of what the HLDI data can reveal to consumers: Its high relative losses make it an outlier among small four-door cars.
The Lancer is a small sporty sedan, and its powerful engine and fun-to-drive image attract drivers who like to go fast. The Hyundai Genesis coupe and the four-wheel-drive Suzuki Kizashi, which, like the Lancer, are marketed for performance, rank second and third on the list of less-expensive vehicles with high losses.
"Once you take out the luxury models, the list of vehicles with the highest collision losses is dominated by high-performance cars and small cars," Hazelbaker says.
The list of passenger vehicles with the lowest losses is dominated by SUVs and pickups, with the Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid SUV coming out on top. The Smart ForTwo microcar also makes the 10 best list in both regular and convertible versions.

When it comes to injuries in crashes, medical payment insurance pays for injuries to an at-fault driver or passengers in that driver's vehicle, while bodily injury liability insurance pays for injuries that an at-fault driver causes to occupants of another vehicle. A third type of injury coverage is personal injury protection (PIP), which is used in the 17 states with no-fault insurance systems. This coverage pays for injuries to occupants of the insured vehicle, no matter who is at fault.
Losses for both medical payment coverage and PIP reflect in part how well a vehicle protects its occupants. Consumers can compare injury losses based on what type of coverage they need.
Looking at PIP, the Toyota Yaris, a minicar, has the highest frequency among 2009-11 models — 28.5 claims per 1,000 insured vehicle years, or about twice the average. The Suzuki SX4, a small sedan, comes in second with 26.6 claims per 1,000 insured vehicle years. Most of the vehicles with the highest PIP frequencies are minicars or small cars.
"Injury claims data show something that crash test results can't, and that's the role that vehicle size plays," Hazelbaker says. "In most crash tests, the advantage of greater size and weight is masked by using a fixed barrier. As a result, crash test results are comparable only among similar vehicles.
"We know that in the real world, if all else is equal, a larger, heavier vehicle does a better job protecting occupants than a smaller, lighter one. These claim frequencies demonstrate that clearly."
In addition to small vehicles, the list of high injury claim frequencies also includes models known for their powerful engines. As with the high collision losses for these vehicles, these high injury frequencies are likely a result of the way they are driven.
Personal injury protection claims among 2009-11 passenger vehicles
Collision loss data from the Highway Loss Data Institute has been available at auto dealers for decades, but Congress is considering repealing the requirement. The good news is all that information and more can be accessed at online.

Lowest Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid$134
Highest (vehicles under $30,000) Mitsubishi Lancer 4WD$707
Lowest (vehicles under $30,000) Jeep Wrangler 2-door 4WD$134
Injury claims data show something that crash test results can't: the role of vehicle size. In the real world, if all else is equal, a larger vehicle protects people better than a smaller one.

Apple has just announced sales of 1 million iPads since the US debut on April 3, along with 12 million app downloads from the iTunes App Store and 1.5 million ebook downloads from the iBookstore. Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs, is happy:
"One million iPads in 28 days—that's less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with iPhone. Demand continues to exceed supply and we're working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers."
Apple's iPad Wi-Fi + 3G debuted on April 30 and unofficial tallies have its sales of those SKUs at 300,000.
An amazing debut by any standards, but will growth match that of the iPhone?

BIGGS — A man and an infant drowned in a pond near Biggs Saturday afternoon.
A fisherman on the shore heard screams and saw that people were in the water, said Cal Fire-Butte County Capt. Scott McLean this morning.
A 9-1-1 call was made, and rescuers arrived quickly, he said. They pulled a man and an infant out of the water and began CPR on both of them.
The man was declared dead at the scene. The baby was taken to Biggs-Gridley Memorial Hospital and was pronounced dead there, McLean said.
He said he understood the man, the infant and another person had been on a raft in the pond.
The baby was wearing a life preserver, he said.
The two people who drowned were in the water just a short time, he added.
The pond is at the end of Hazel off of Larkin Road, he said.
A few hours earlier, rescuers were called to help two people who got in trouble trying to wade across the Feather River near the Afterbay outlet.
Ty Alexander of Sacramento, who was up for the day to fish, said he watched as the two waded in water that was chest-deep. He said they were trying to reach a rock ledge midstream that"s just under the surface. The ledge is a good fishing spot, he said.
He said when they were part way across, the current swept them downstream. They attempted to fight the current but kept bobbing under and coming up.
Ultimately, one of them didn"t come up.
Two women with the Department of Fish and Game were in a boat in the river, Alexander said. They were able to rescue one but couldn"t find the man who"d disappeared under the water.
Alexander and his friends, who"d been on a high bank and had a better view, directed the DFG boat to the man, but the women were unable to reach him.
He said he then jumped in and pulled the man to the surface and helped get him into the boat.
The boat took the two to a launch ramp, where rescue crews were just arriving. They"d initially been dispatched to the Afterbay, rather than the outlet.
CPR was begun on the man who"d been under the water. As he was taken to Oroville Hospital, CPR continued.
McLean said the man was revived, and he was taken to Enloe Medical Center in serious condition.
The other person was unhurt, he said.
McLean said he had no further details on either case.
He said people need to be very aware of the dangers around water. Right now, a lot of people are out to enjoy the last of the season"s good weather. If they go on the water, they need to wear life preservers, he said.
Alexander said he was ecstatic to learn the man he helped rescue hadn"t died.
"I thought he was done," he said. "I was bummed all day."
He called the paper to complain about the callousness of some of the anglers at the scene, a couple of whom he thought had a good chance to save the pair in distress, but just kept casting.
"It was sickening," he said.
The California Highway Patrol is investigating the incident since it happened in the state"s Oroville Wildlife Area.

Involve indigenous people in climate policy, says report
The ingenuity of indigenous peoples is too often overlooked by policymakers making decisions related to climate change — even though they are among the most vulnerable to its impacts, according to a new report.
The report from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), released last month (March), points out that indigenous people usually occupy marginal and remote areas, such as small islands, coastal plains, mountain areas and drylands, where they are exposed to adverse environmental effects.
Although these populations develop coping strategies, the severity of future climate change may exceed this adaptive capacity, say the report's authors.
Furthermore, they are often socially vulnerable –– lacking rights, infrastructure and support, and with fragile livelihoods based only on natural resources.
The areas liable to the greatest changes in climate, and indeed already affected, include the Amazon region, the Caribbean, southern Africa and southern Latin America — all containing large numbers of indigenous people.
Gonzalo Oviedo, co-author of the report and IUCN senior advisor on social policy, told SciDev.Net, "Indigenous peoples' vast experience in adapting to climate variability will not be sufficient — they also need better access to other information and tools."
The report emphasises the need to involve indigenous communities more in research and debate on climate change. "In the Arctic, scientists and indigenous people work together. It opens doors to knowledge not accessible through Western scientific methods," says co-author Sarah Gotheil, programme officer of IUCN's Global Marine Programme.
Indigenous peoples' perspective and knowledge should be considered when making policies on adapting to climate change, the report recommends.
Their adaptation practices include rainwater harvesting, crop and livelihood diversification, and hunting and gathering timed with variations in animal migration and fruiting periods.
The challenge, says the report, is to find how best to combine traditional and scientific knowledge for incorporation into decision making.
The report advises that supporting indigenous peoples in their adaptation methods will help preserve the world's culturally and biologically most diverse areas.
"Their wise practices are also important for the younger generations," adds co-author Agni Boedhihartono, a landscape and community engagement officer for IUCN.

give no explanation about why webproworld.com was taken down. Administrator LD may have given an indication in one of the last active threads titled "forum to test new members (or not?)". In one of the last posts in that thread he wrote something like this when I was complaining about forum spam:
The forum gives little or no traffic.
I observed that myself. Most of (nearly 100 % of the traffic) came from good or bad bots, sreenscrapers and boardreaders like http://boardreader.com/linkinfo/webproworld.com. So the site admins and moderators may have thought that the time used on moderating the forum and keeping more or less advanced spammers or spam bots out was not worth the effort.
We can ask, has social media sites and networks (that is not always visible to indexing machines and search engine bots) replaced forums and blogs. IMO there is some indication, and big search engine companies should fear the new trend since more and more sites seem to block access to their information. Forums, Bulletin Boards and blogs used to be more open than social networks.
From the april 12 2016 wayback machine snapshot we note the following:
Spam-O-Matic Statistics
965 Spammers Denied Registration
272 Spammers Permanently Banned
1080 Spammy Posts Automatically Moderated
That was seemingly not enough to keep out forum spammers and spam bots. Do you rely on traffic data? I don't!!
4. Is it possible to find old threads?
Can internet Archives Wayback machine help you? Go to archives wayback machine and plug in webprowrold.com.
The last archived version, april 12 2016 gives this home page view (snapshot):
https://web.archive.org/web/20160412183 ... world.com/
among other things my thread about "AI robotics and the IVth industrial revolution...". My thread about bitcoins is also visible on the april 12 2016 snapshot. My recent thread about the sharing economy (the internet of things) and webassembly is not visible. If I go to the second last snapshot
https://web.archive.org/web/20160314093 ... world.com/
we see that my thread about the following article is visible

to mention our newest resources. These resources and other in our mini network are regulartly updated. I also have a plan of writing more about the social internet on http://www.web3logistics.com/ and webassembly and the internet of things on http://www.web4logistics.com/. By the way, I published a PDF document related to embarcadero's C++builder 2010
in 2010, that shows how it is possible to convert C++ code to java script code - scroll down to chapter 18. "The desktop is on the web" that is one of the technologies used in webassembly.

The Computer House of Cards, designed by Charles and Ray Eames, date back to the IBM Pavilion during the 1970 World's Fair in Osaka, Japan. They are tremendously rare as they were created as souvenirs for guests, and were printed only once. This makes the Computer House of Cards an extremely desirable collectors item for Eames enthusiasts and technology buffs around the world.
Each image exhibits a part of the inner workings of a computer in stunning detail and clarity, in a time when the skeleton of computer technology looked much different. A time before the microchip was invented. Cards are perfect for framing to capture a record of what a 1970 pre-microchip computer looked like.
Fifty-six cards, 3.75 x 2.25", are in the deck as well as a pamphlet identifying each card. Decks have never been opened and are non-returnable, as are all our vintage items.

Two central Ohio women, one of whom has never changed a diaper in her life and the other with a 7-month old positively burning through the things, were each moved by separate media reports about how hard it is for low-income mothers to pay for diapers.
Two central Ohio women, one of whom has never changed a diaper in her life and the other with a 7-month old positively burning through the things, were each moved by separate media reports about how hard it is for low-income mothers to pay for diapers.
The United States, it turns out, has a "diaper gap," and that's not a laughing matter.
"Babies born into poor or low-income families can spend a day or longer in one diaper, leading to potential health risks," according to the National Diaper Bank Network's website.
Rachael Moore heard a National Public Radio story about a diaper bank in Washington, D.C., as she was driving home to the Short North from work.
"There's just this need for diapers," she said she suddenly realized.
Judith L. Marsh, a partner in the law firm of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease, read a magazine article in July 2013 about a study on what stresses new mothers the most.
"It was shocking to me to see that diapers were so difficult for low-income mothers to afford," Marsh said. "It never occurred to me that our social service safety net couldn't help out with diapers."
According to the National Diaper Bank Network, 5.9 million children age 3 and younger in the United States live with poor or low-income families. Disposable diapers can cost up to $150 a month for each of them.
According to the NDBN:
* Without transportation, buying diapers at a convenience store rather than a large discount store can double or triple the monthly cost.
* For sanitary reasons, coin-operated Laundromats often don't allow customers to wash cloth diapers.
* Infants require up to 12 diapers a day, toddlers about eight.
* Candy may be purchased with food stamps, but diapers are classified with cigarettes, alcohol and pet food as disallowed purchases.
In addition, according to the network, most childcare centers, even free and subsidized facilities, will turn away a child who arrives without a day's supply of disposable diapers.
And most childcare centers will not accept cloth diapers.
Marsh, a Powell resident whose daughter was 7 months old at the time she read the new mothers study, was deeply troubled by the thought of an infant crying because of a wet diaper and a mother unable to do anything for lack of money.
That's simply heartbreaking, in her view. "You don't have to be a mother to understand that," Marsh said.
Moore, after the loss of grant funding closed down the after-school program where she once worked, began doing research on the "diaper gap."
Eventually, both women reached out to the diaper bank in Washington, D.C. Officials there put Marsh and Moore together, and now they've put together plans to create the Columbus Diaper Bank.
An official launch party for the new nonprofit organization is scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, March 6, at Woodland's Backyard, 668 Grandview Ave.
Donations of money and disposable diapers will be accepted.
Moore will be the new organization's executive director.
"I'm not a mother, so everyone, when I bring this up, they're very surprised that I would want to try this," Moore said. "I've never had to diaper a child.
"I just liked the idea, so I started emailing people across the country. Everyone was so nice."
The Columbus Diaper Bank has a board composed of local entrepreneurs Mike Sorboro and Bryce Ungerott of Mikey's Late Night Slice, and Hollie Foust, an attorney for a medical products distribution company.
"The biggest problem I have right now is where I'm going to get the diapers," said Moore, "We're starting small, but our goal is to do 500,000 (diapers) by March of next year."
The March 6 launch party is intended to raise awareness of the diaper bank, she added. In addition, Upper Arlington Lutheran Church is helping out by holding a diaper drive March 9-23.
"I'm very confident that this is going to be a sustainable nonprofit," Moore said.
"We're really excited about this endeavor, and we hope it's a huge success," Marsh said.
For more information, contact Sorboro at 614-206-7448, Moore at 419-571-8417 or via email to rachael@ columbusdiaperbank.org. The website is www.columbusdiaperbank.org.

Resume: This paper applies the panel fixed effects with vector decomposition estimator to three FDI datasets to estimate the impact of time-invariant variables on FDI while including fixed effects. We find that the omission of fixed effects significantly biases several of these variables, especially those proxying for trade costs and culture. After including fixed effects, we find that many time-invariant variables indicate the importance of vertical FDI. We also find that by eliminating these biases, the differences across datasets largely disappear. Thus, controversies in the literature that are driven by differences in data sets may be resolved by using this estimation technique.

By Peter Durney- New Zealand Herald - Wednesday Dec 19, 2012
I am always embarrassed when somebody rails against the unearned privileges of royalty because I, too, must own up to a life of privilege, all of it bestowed on me by chance. Not being a celebrity, I am never bothered by paparazzi, nor is the media eager to pounce on my least social indiscretion. I guess that is an added bonus.
I became very aware of my privileged position when I was working overseas. The Asian people I associated with were quick to congratulate me on my good fortune - being born in a Western country with English as my first language. My New Zealand passport allowed me the opportunity to travel to many countries where I could communicate with those who had struggled to learn my language, rather than having to learn theirs.
Mumbai, Seoul, Istanbul, London are great cities, worth a visit, but to arrive back in this country, present my passport and hear the words from the immigration official, "Welcome home," brings a lump to the throat. I feel privileged indeed.
Free from the crush of humanity, I can take stock.
I was brought up a Christian, but I am free to question my faith, my parents' faith and, if I choose, discard it. Not everyone can do that.
I am not clever, but I had the chance to learn a trade and, later, take a university degree. Not everyone can do that.
With my wife, I was able to raise a family, comfortably housed, healthy and well educated. Not everybody is so fortunate.
I've had some health issues. These were tended to by skilled and compassionate professionals. I guess I was lucky there.
This country offers me beaches and mountains and lakes to explore, with good roads and an adequate car. Many people cannot even aspire to owning a car.
Now I am old and have a Gold Card, I can freely travel around what must surely be the most beautiful city in the world - one that is not choked by smog.
By and large, the streets of this country are safe. Crime is an aberration, not the norm. Nobody is shelling or bombing me, or trying to impose a different regime by force. Lunatics with guns are few and far between.
I can criticise politicians and even the Government. I can write letters of complaint and indignation to the newspapers. I wouldn't try that in a number of countries.
Sure, some of my comforts have required effort on my part, but I would hesitate to say that I've worked harder than the man in Ulsan who rides his motor scooter in all weathers to deliver pizzas, or the kids in Chennai who spend their days harassing tourists for a few rupees.
I am not offended by the pageantry of royalty. It amuses me. I love the parades, the Trooping of the Colour, the dignity of public occasions, the quaint rituals whose only justification is that they have been practised for centuries.
It places my part of the world into a historical context. It matters not that the crowned head of New Zealand lives far away. In fact, I prefer it. I saw on television the American presidential election. I did not find that amusing.
And so, Charles, William and Harry and all the rest, enjoy the hand that life has dealt you. I don't begrudge you your rank and fortune. I only know that by sheer accident of birth, I am a Kiwi. What a priceless, undeserved privilege that is.

Limping Rat Provides Sciatica Insights
April 30, 2009
DURHAM, N.C. -- A newly developed animal model for the painful nerve condition known as sciatica should help researchers diagnose and treat it, according to Duke University bioengineers and surgeons.
Sciatica is not a single disorder, but rather a diverse range of symptoms, such as numbness or pain from the lower back to the feet, radiating leg pain or difficulty in controlling the leg. It is often caused by compression, or pinching, of any of the five nerve roots that combine to make up the sciatic nerve. These roots are the parts of the nerve that pass through openings in the spine to the spinal cord.
Surgical simulation of nerve compression in rats was led by Mohammed Shamji, a neurosurgery resident and recent Ph.D. graduate working in the laboratory of senior researcher Lori Setton, professor of biomedical engineering and surgery at Duke's Pratt School of Engineering. Shamji and post-doctoral research fellow Kyle Allen observed that the animals' gait became asymmetric, and that they over-responded to temperature changes and touch in their limbs after the surgery.
They also found, for the first time, that the physical symptoms experienced by the affected animals seemed to be linked to an increase in levels of interleukin-17 (IL-17), a protein involved in regulating the inflammatory response. Elevated levels of IL-17 have already been implicated in such autoimmune diseases as rheumatoid arthritis and asthma.
"This finding suggests a possible role for immune system activation in contributing to symptoms of sciatica," said Shamji, now completing his neurosurgical residency at the Ottawa Hospital in Canada. "This offers new insight into the pathophysiology of the disease, and may also identify novel therapeutic targets to treat it."
The results of Shamji's and Allen's experiments were published online in the journal Spine.
"If immune system activation is involved, and it turns out to be an important part of the condition, it is possible that existing or new drugs that can block this immune response could offer relief to patients," Setton said. "This new model should help us find answers for a disorder that has few good treatments."
For their experiments, the researchers compressed a specific nerve root known as the dorsal root ganglia in the lumbar region of the spine, which simulated sciatica in one of the rear legs. They performed numerous tests on the animals' ability to move as well as their reaction to pain and temperature. Throughout this process, they took blood samples to measure any changes in the levels of specific immune system molecules.
One of the more novel tests, developed by Allen, involved taking high-speed videotapes of the animals – those that received the procedure and those that did not – and analyzing step by step the particulars of the animals' gait. Specifically, they measured how the animals responded to the pressure of walking with an affected leg and how they shifted their weight in response.
"Following surgery, we noticed some novel signs of limping, characterized by changes in gait symmetry and the placement of more weight on the non-affected limb," Allen explained. "While some of our findings confirmed what others have suggested, our results were able to quantify the extent of the gait asymmetry, or limping, which could prove important as we evaluate different treatments."
Further studies are planned to test the effects of different IL-17 blockers on the mechanics of the animals' movement.
The research was support by funds from Zimmer Orthopedics, National Institutes of Health and a Pratt-Gardner Predoctoral Research Fellowship.
Other Duke members of the research team were Stephen So, Liufang Jing, Samuel Adams, Reinhard Schuh, Janet Huebner, Virginia Kraus, Allan Friedman and William Richardson.

Ear is the most popular body part for piercing. Almost all parts of the ear can be pierced, so there are many different types of piercings performed on the ear. Some are more common than the others, some are more sensitive than the others and take longer time to heal. Regardless of the type, ear piercings are relatively simple to perform and they can be very effective.
Here is the list of the most popular ear piercing types:
Earlobe Piercing
Earlobe piercing is the most popular type of ear piercing. In fact, it's the most common of all body piercings. Earlobe piercing is so widespread and socially acceptable that many people don't even consider it body piercing in true sense of the word. Earlobe piercing is easy to perform and it heals quickly. There are many types of earrings suitable for this type of piercing.
A special type of earlobe piercing is stretched piercing. It's sometimes called "gauging", though it's a wrong term: gauge is the size of the jewelry. Many types of piercings can be stretched to a larger size, but the most common are stretched earlobes. There are special types of jewelry made for stretched piercings: ear plugs, flesh tunnels, earlets, tusks, spirals, and more.
Industrial Piercing
An industrial piercing (also known as the scaffold piercing) consists of two holes connected by a single jewelry piece. It's typically done on the upper ear cartilage. During the procedure, two piercings are made: one close to the head and the other further down the cartilage on the opposite side of the ear.
The most common jewelry type for industrial piercings is long, straight barbell. It's inserted through the first piercing from behind the ear and it goes diagonally across the front of the ear cartilage to the second piercing. It's not uncommon to wear a pair of captive bead rings instead of a straight barbell. Those who wish to use straight barbells for their industrial piercings can choose between numerous unique barbells with special decorations or spirals to make their piercing stand out.
Helix Piercing
The helix piercing is performed on the outer curly rim of the ear cartilage. It's important that this piercing is done with a needle and not piercing gun (in fact, it's best to never use a piercing gun; it's only suitable for earlobe piercings and it's not even the best method to perform that type of piercing). Most people get more than one helix piercing to wear several jewelry pieces on that side of the ear. A special type of helix piercing is the orbital piercing. Here, two piercings are made and the jewelry goes from back to the back of the ear, so it looks like it's orbiting through the cartilage.
The anti-helix piercing is done on the ear part just the opposite of the helix. It's also known as the snug piercing. This type of piercing requires micro-jewelry. Many people choose to get both helix and anti-helix piercings and pair them with the same jewelry types. The most commonly used jewelry for this type of piercing are curved barbells or circular rings.
Tragus Piercing
The tragus piercing is performed on the small piece of the thick cartilage projecting in front of the ear canal. It's typically done at a small gauge (16g). The most common jewelry for this piercing is captive bead ring.
Anti-Tragus Piercing
The anti-tragus piercing is performed on the part of the ear cartilage directly above the earlobe.
Transverse Lobe Piercing
This is a piercing that goes horizontally through the ear lobe. It takes more time to heal than the regular earlobe piercing. Typical jewelry worn in this piercing are straight or curved barbells.
Rook Piercing
The rook piercing is done at the folded inner rim of the ear. This inner ridge of the ear runs down the center and it's parallel to the helix or outer rim. It's important to understand that the look of this piercing depends a lot on the anatomy of your ear.
Conch Piercing
There are two types of the conch piercing: the inner and the outer. The inner conch piercing is made on the center cartilage adjacent to the ear canal. These piercings are usually done at larger gauges (10g or 8g) and they can be stretched to accommodate ear plugs. The most common jewelry type for this piercing is barbell.
The outer conch piercing is made on the flat part of the top outer ear. It's done at a smaller gauge (16g). Typical jewelry for this piercing is curved barbell or a captive bead ring.
Daith Piercing
The daith piercing is performed on the outer rim of the ear cartilage, closest to the head. It's often performed with a curved needle to prevent damage to other parts of the ear. There is another variation of this piercing: the inner daith. This one is performed on the horizontal part of the cartilage, directly above the ear canal. The most commonly used jewelry for daith piercing is a captive bead ring.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 17, 2008) -- As the ETSU men's basketball team faces its most challenging road stretch of the Atlantic Sun Conference season, Buccaneer fans are reminded they can catch all the action live by visiting ASun.TV and ordering the streaming video service.
The Bucs, 8-8, 2-1 A-Sun, will meet a pair of in-state league rivals this weekend, as they face Belmont (10-7, 2-1) on Thursday night at 8 p.m. EST and Lipscomb (7-10, 1-2) on Saturday afternoon at 5:15 EST.
While the Bucs hold a 6-4 advantage in the all-time series against the Bruins, Belmont has enjoyed a 4-1 stretch including a win last year over ETSU in the championship game of the A-Sun Tournament in Johnson City. ETSU will be looking to avenge that loss Thursday and take a step to solidifying a run at the A-Sun regular season title.
For more on Thursday's game, click on the game notes link located above or read the game preview information below. Fans are reminded that they can also listen to the live broadcast of ETSU basketball by clicking on the link above, which will provide the MSHA Buccaneer Sports Network feed.
Buc Shots
A seven-time NCAA Tournament and two-time NIT participant, the ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2007-08 season coming off a regular season Atlantic Sun Conference championship with a 24-10 overall record, and a 16-2 league mark a year ago ... The Bucs return the 2006-07 A-Sun Player of the Year in junior guardCourtney Pigram (Memphis), as well as the A-Sun Coach of the Year Murry Bartow and All A-Sun Freshman team pick Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) ... Along with returning players like Pigram and Smith, the Bucs also return significant contributors to last season's success such as senior post Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.), senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna), and senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) ... Newcomers for the Bucs that are expected to contribute early and often include junior college transfer Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), who was the JuCo Division II National Player of the Year last season, and lightning quick JuCo point guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) ... Several Bucs are currently leading A-Sun statistical categories, see page 6 of this notebook for more information on those players and their rank ... In addition, see where the Bucs ranks as a team and individually on the national charts on Page 4.
The series against Belmont
The Bucs and Bruins have met 10 times in their histories, with ETSU holding a 6-4 advantage ... However, the Bucs were a perfect 5-0 against Belmont prior to 2005, when ETSU joined the Atlantic Sun Conference ... Since that time, ETSU is 1-4 against Belmont ... In fact, three of those games have gone to overtime, with ETSU going 1-2 in those contests.
Last time against the Bruins
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 3, 2007)- Second-seeded Belmont earned its second straight trip to the NCAA tournament with a dominating 94-67 win over ETSU in the championship game of the 2007 General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Men's Basketball Championship ... The Bruins did it the hard way, beating the Bucs on their home floor inside Memorial Center. Of course, Belmont has made Johnson City its home away from home since ETSU joined the A-Sun, winning all eight games inside the mini-dome ... The Bruins were in control of the game from the opening tap and never relented. They were a remarkable 14-for-29 from 3-point range, but that only tells part of the story. Their sizeable early was built in the opening 20 minutes and came on the strength of remarkable shooting display from beyond
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 10, 2008)- Poor shooting from the floor for the third straight game finally caught up with the ETSU men's basketball team, as the Buccaneers were unable to score a single point in the final 5:27 of Saturday's game against Gardner-Webb, falling to the Bulldogs in Atlantic Sun Conference action inside Memorial Center ... For the Bucs (8-8, 2-1 A-Sun) it was their first home loss of the season, as they dropped to 6-1 in the Dome. Meanwhile, the Runnin' Bulldogs improved to 8-10, 2-2 ... In a game they never led and tied only twice in the first half, the Bucs shot just 32 percent from the floor and a dismal 22 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. Even so, ETSU still managed to cut a 10-point halftime deficit to just one point three times in the final seven minutes ... A free throw by junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) made it 70-69 in favor of GW with 5:27 left, but from there the Bucs would not score again, despite making several defensive stops and holding the Runnin' Bulldogs to just three points the rest of the way ... During the offensive drought, the Bucs would take five 3-pointers and end up making none of those attempts. "We tried hitting the home run when we just needed some touches inside," Bartow said ... In the first half, Gardner-Webb took an early 5-0 lead and managed to hold off two ETSU runs that tied that game at 18-18 and 22-22. From there, the Runnin' Bulldogs used a 9-2 run to close out the half and finish up 40-30 ... Gardner-Webb shot 41 percent from the field, but more importantly the Runnin' Bulldogs were a decisive 84 percent from the foul line (16-of-19). ETSU did hold statistical advantages in rebounds (46-42), while forcing 19 turnovers on 10 steals ... The Bucs were led offensively by 15 points from junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), while sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) finished with 14 points, and senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) scored 11. Gardner-Webb had five players in double figures, led by a game-high 17 from guard Grayson Flintner.
Trouble's a Bruin
A quick look at the last two year's results for ETSU and there's no doubt the Bucs have had trouble with Belmont ... The Bucs are 1-4 against their A-Sun in-state rivals since joining the league in 2005 ... Two of those games were won easily by Belmont, but the other three were overtime affairs, with the Bruins hitting 3-pointers in the final seconds of two of those games to win ... Here is a breakdown of those meetings
Date Result Site
Dec. 1, 2005 Belmont 88-85 (OT) Johnson City, Tenn.
Feb. 26, 2006 Belmont 99, ETSU 78 Nashville, Tenn.
Jan. 2, 2007 Belmont 75, ETSU 74 (OT) Johnson City, Tenn.
Jan. 25, 2007 ETSU 80, Belmont 70 (OT) Nashville, Tenn.
March 3, 2007 Belmont 94, ETSU 67 Johnson City
Bucs' RPI, Strength of Schedule rank among best in nation
Though the Bucs are off to a 8-8 start, it's understandable when considering ETSU has only played seven home games so far this season ... More importantly, the Buccaneers' strength of schedule (SOS) currently ranks 58th in the country according to RealtimeRPI.com ... That SOS rank is obvious when looking at the RPI of ETSU's opponents in the early season schedule, which includes St. Mary's (4th), Dayton (7th) and Syracuse (11th) ... As for RPI, the Bucs rank a respectable 125th out of 342 Division I teams.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 113-37 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 76 percent ... The Bucs ETSU had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season, but fell to Belmont in the final game of the year in the championship of the A-Sun Tournament ... This year, the Bucs are 6-1 at Memorial Center so far.
The Bucs at
the Rainbow Classic
Spending a week in Hawaii during the winter months is always enjoyable, but ETSU's second trip ever to the Rainbow Classic was a bittersweet experience ... While the Bucs picked up their first win over a Southeastern Conference opponent since 1991-92 with a 76-58 victory over Georgia in the first round, the team finished the trip 1-2 after falling in back-to-back games to St. Mary's and Louisiana-Lafayette ... While the St. Mary's game was expected to be difficult -- considering the Gaels were ranked No. 2 in the RPI -- the 82-80 overtime loss to a 3-7 Lafayette team kept the Bucs from evening their season record to 6-6 coming home from the islands ... In two trips to the Rainbow, the Bucs are now 2-4 all time.
Non-conference home win streak at 16
Over the last three seasons, the Bucs have fared well against non-conference opponents within the confines of Memorial Center ... In fact, the Bucs have won 16 straight non-conference homes games since losing a 90-73 contest to Fresno State back on Nov. 27, 2004 ... ETSU has enjoyed wins over teams such as Marshall (2), Chattanooga, Central Michigan, Morehead State, Tennessee Tech, UNC Asheville, Eastern Kentucky, Radford and Appalachian State in that time frame ... Against conference opponents, the Bucs have won 10 straight regular season conference games.
Another championship banner
With a win against Stetson (2/22), the Bucs wrapped up an outright 2006-07 A-Sun regular season title and garnered the No. 1 seed in the week's league championship tournament ... For ETSU, it was the continuation of a recent string of success that dates back to the 2000-2001 season ... In all, the Bucs have captured championships in five of the last seven seasons, including back-to-back NCAA Tournament trips in 2002-03 and 2003-04, and a trip to the NIT in 2006-07 ... Here is the championship breakdown:
2000-2001-- Southern Conference North Division Championship
2001-2002 -- SoCon North Division championship
2002-2003 -- SoCon North Division championship; SoCon Tournament Championship
2003-2004 -- SoCon North Division championship, SoCon Regular Season Championship, SoCon Tournament Championship
2006-2007 -- Atlantic Sun Conference Regular Season Championship
New starting five
During the Bucs recent trip to the Rainbow Classic, head coach Murry Bartow used a completely new starting five, with junior guardJocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.), junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) and senior forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) ... While that group went only 1-2 on the trip, they did pick up the win over SEC foe Georgia and lost a close overtime battle with Louisiana-Lafayette ... However, the Bucs reshuffled the lineup again versus Appalachian State, moving Pigram to the point position, and inserting seniors Travis Strong (Memphis) and Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) to go with Tiggs and Reed ... That starting five is now 3-1 on the year.
Davis, Pigram and assist/turnover ratio
One positive to come from the early season schedule as been the play of both junior guardsJocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) and Courtney Pigram (Memphis) ... From a distribution of the basketball and offensive production standpoint, both have shown an ability to pick up assists without turning the ball over ... Currently, Davis ranks fourth in the A-Sun with an assist/turnover ratio of 1.6 ... As for assists per game, Pigram ranks 5th with 3.7 a game, while Davis is 9th with 3.4 a contest
Pigram eclipses 1,000 points
Beginning just his third season at ETSU, junior guardCourtney Pigram (Memphis) has already eclipsed the 1,000-point mark with a jump shot from the right corner at the 17:52 mark against Chattanooga (11/28) ... That basket gave Pigram 1,000 for his career and following the contest with the Mocs ... The junior now stands at 1,196 for his career and ranks 17th on the all-time program scoring list ... The 6-1 shooting guard scored 325 points as a freshman and then netted a remarkable 614 as a sophomore ... His 614 points a year ago ranks 6th on the single season list.
Chilton's No. 42 comes out of retirement
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 31, 2007)- For many years, Tom Chilton's No. 42 has held a special place in ETSU basketball's history. Next season, fans will see that special number on the floor once again ... Chilton, who ranks first all-time with 26.1 points per game and fifth on the all-time scoring list with 1,801, has agreed to allow junior transfer Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) to wear his No. 42 jersey for the 2007-08 and 2008-09 season. Chilton, who now makes his home in Madison, Ind., said he was honored a current player would want to wear his number ... "I wish him the best and I'm honored he wants to wear No. 42," said Chilton, whose 42 is the only retired number in ETSU's program history. "I hope he always considers that the number doesn't make the player, but the player makes the number. A lot of hard work and effort went into that number during my time there, but ETSU gave a lot back to me and I wouldn't be where I am today without that university, so I'm happy to allow the number to be worn again." ... ETSU head coach Murry Bartow said he was appreciative Chilton would allow the number to come out of retirement, and he reiterated that the number will go back into retirement two years from now ... "Tom Chilton was one of the finest players to ever wear an ETSU uniform, and his willingness to allow Kevin to wear the number shows he is still proud to be a part of our program's tradition," Bartow said. "It's our expectation that Kevin understand the importance of the number and the responsibility that goes with wearing it." ... Tiggs, the 2007 National Junior College Division II Player of the Year, said he certainly understood the history behind the number ... "Mr. Chilton was and is a legend here, so wearing his number comes with a great deal of responsibility," Tiggs said. "I just want to play in a way that would make him proud."
1,117 wins and counting
With a win Jan. 25, 2007 against Belmont, the Bucs collected the program's 1,100th win all-time ... In over 80 years of basketball, the Bucs are 1,117-901-27.
Bucs on the Tube
Along with the new ASun.TV package which will video stream all ETSU men's and women's home games on the Internet, the Bucs will again have a significant presence on the television screen as well this year ... In fact, ETSU's trips to Oklahoma State (Dec. 8) and Syracuse (Dec. 15) both aired live locally, with the Oklahoma State game showing on WKPT (ABC) and the Syracuse contest aired on WJHL (CBS) ... The Bucs will also appear on regional cable through the Friday night CSS Atlantic Sun Game of the Week with the Jan. 25th trip to Jacksonville and the Feb. 1 home game against Mercer scheduled for air on CSS ...

Bucs dominate Preseason All A-Sun Picks
Last season, ETSU won its first Atlantic Sun Conference men's basketball title, but Belmont denied the Buccaneers the conference's automatic bid in the final of the General Shale Brick Men's Basketball Championship ... Entering the 2007-08 season, both the coaches and the media predict that the Buccaneers will again be battling the Bruins for conference supremacy ... Both chose ETSU as the favorite to win the conference and defend its regular-season title with Belmont second ... The Bucs were the clear choice by the media to win the tournament ... The Buccaneers, who have gone 28-10 in A-Sun play in their two years in the league, will continue to be led byCourtney Pigram (Memphis). The junior from Memphis, Tenn. was named the preseason Player of the Year following up his Player of the Year award for the 2006-07 season ... As a sophomore, Pigram averaged 18.1 points per game, second-best in the conference and also ranked in the top 10 in steals (2nd, 2.62 SPG), 3-point field goals per game (3rd, 2.62 3-pt FG per game) and assists (7th, 3.74 APG). He turned in one the league's virtuoso performances of the season when he dished out a conference-record 18 assists against Mercer on February 24 to go along with 29 points and eight rebounds. The 18 assists set an A-Sun record, were one off the school record and were the second-highest single-game total in Division I in the last two seasons.

Positive vibes are coming out of MTS Centre lately and the latest two signings should have Jets fans excited for the future.
Not the future as in the 2013-14 season, mind you, but possibly for 2014-15 and beyond.
Two of their later round draft picks – JC Lipon (third round) and Brenden Kichton (seventh round) – were both signed to entry-level contracts early this week.
Surprising to me is the fact the Jets were able to land these two talented players when they did in the 2013 Entry Draft.
First of all, Kichton, 21, is the least of the two surprises. Originally drafted in 2011 by the New York Islanders in the fifth round, the Spruce Grove, Alberta native was expected to garner an entry-level contract quickly by the Isles, but when the price dipped too low for the likes of Kichton, there were no further negotiations and back into the draft pool he went.
When Kichton was originally picked, he had come off an 81 point season with the Spokane Chiefs in his third full season. With a career high 23 goals from the blueline, what scared the Isles is not apparent – could have been his size 6'0, 190 pounds or perhaps the fact that they already had a glutton of young defensive prospects in their system – Travis Hamonic, Calvin de Haan, Jared Spurgeon, Anton Klementyev.
Spurgeon came into a similar problem that Kichton did.
Spurgeon and Kichton were teammates in Spokane in Kichton's first two seasons and was the Chief's leading scorer on the blueline.
Selected in the sixth round, 156th overall in 2008, Spurgeon was not signed to an entry-level contract and played out the last two seasons of his WHL career with Kichton as his younger teammate.
In 2010-11, he was invited to the Minnesota Wild's training camp and was awarded a three-year entry-level contract.
The fact the Islanders lost out on Spurgeon and now Kichton isn't surprising given the team's track record, but Kichton isn't just another defenseman that has been passed over and not signed to a deal.
He has a chip on his shoulder and wants to prove to the Islanders they were wrong.
In an interview with Buzzing The Net's Kelly Friesen on Yahoo! Sports, Kichton flat out said, "I want to prove them wrong."
"You never wanted to be doubted and I guess they didn't believe in me. I'm going to Jets camp…and I want to make an impression and go on to have a good career with them."
Talk about a chip on the shoulder, Kichton was awarded with his three-year, entry-level contract on August 28th – worth $1.86 million.
In 333 career games in Spokane, Kichton collected 67 goals and added 201 assists.
Even the Winnipeg Free Press' Paul Wiecek asks if Kichton could possibly be the steal of the 2013 draft – "Ever wonder how it could be that a guy who was the top defenseman in the Western Hockey League last season, averaging better than a point per game for the Spokane Chiefs, was still available to the Winnipeg Jets with the 190th overall pick in the 2013 NHL Draft?"
For JC Lipon, the story isn't as complicated, but still raises questions about why he was chosen so late in the 2013 Draft.
Signed on August 29th to a three-year, entry-level contract worth $2.1 million, Lipon was a steal of a pick 91st overall, but I was surprised he had dropped so far down after a 2012-13 season that saw him play in the World Juniors and also collect 89 points and 115 penalty minutes in 61 games with the Kamloops Blazers.
True, Lipon is 20 years old and could be considered a late bloomer (Kichton was 19 when drafted the first time) but his skills and grit are something many teams could have seen as an immediate impact coming into their franchise.
First of all, the speedy forward from Regina, Saskatchewan has played four years in the WHL – he is ready for another challenge. Is it possible he could be playing professional in the AHL with the St. John's Ice Caps in 2013-14?
It could be possible that both he and Kichton could be AHL bound, which not only bolsters the Jets organizational depth pronto, but also gives the Ice Caps two talented young players under 22.
In 248 games as a Blazer, Lipon collected 61 goals and added 127 assists. His 2012-13 season being his best with 36 goals and 53 assists for 89 points in 61 games. Add to the package his grit – 374 penalty minutes in those 248 games – and Lipon at 6'0, 180 pounds could be a potential grinder/agitator the Jets need (along with Anthony Peluso?)
In 2012-13, Lipon was invited to the Colorado Avalanche's training camp, but was not allowed to attend due to the NHL lockout. Despite being looked over for two rounds, Lipon states in an interview with Greg Harder of the Regina Leader-Post, "This year it was nice to know after your season was done that you had done enough (to get noticed)."
Notice is what the Winnipeg Jets did and they topped two good drafts in 2011 and 2012 with a very good draft in 2013.
Take notice of Josh Morrissey but don't forget the Jets selected Kichton and Lipon – two players who will make immediate impacts.
And don't be surprised if they show up in Jets blue in 2013-14.
