Indiana Hoosiers Basketball Details
Basketball is religion in Indiana, where fans love their Hoosiers. Maybe you should see why, in person.
The Indiana Hoosiers are one of college basketball's most storied programs, ranking among the top programs in NCAA Tournament victories, NCAA Tournament wins, Final Four appearances, and all-time victories.
Indiana plays home games at Assembly Hall, which opened in 1971 and holds more than 16,000 fans for basketball. The opening of the arena coincided with the debut of head coach Bob Knight, who led the Hoosiers to national championships in 1976, 1981 and 1987. The 1976 squad finished its season with a perfect 32-0 record, and no men's college basketball team has gone undefeated since.
The student section, known as the Crimson Guard, was formed in 2009. Though Indiana has long had a reputation for having a significant home-court advantage, it was the last Big Ten school to have an official student section.
Indiana joined the Big Ten in 1899, and has won the conference championship more than 20 times. Its main conference rivals are Purdue and Illinois, with the Boilermakers and Hoosiers being close to even in Big Ten titles won.
The Hoosiers have had dozens of All-America selections, and nearly 20 players named as Big Ten Player of the Year. Their most famous player? Probably point guard Isiah Thomas, who was a member of the 1981 national title team. Thomas won two NBA championships with the Detroit Pistons, and is a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Week 2
Make an in-circuit programmer
Program abovementioned programmer
haimish: homey, cozy, unpretentious
electrical resistance: measures the level of difficulty to pass an electrical current through a conductor, the inverse quantity is electrical conductance which measures the level of ease
pull-up/pull-down resistors: used to prevent floating by ensuring that the MCU input pin is either in high (pulled to VCC) or low state (pulled to Ground). Pull-up resistor is more common of the two - it is frequently connected to high voltage (often allocated to VCC) and pull-down is often connected to ground
capacitor: stores electric energy in an electric field between two conductive plates
diode: an electrical device that allows current to move through it in one direction with greater ease
clipper: prevents the output of a circuit from reaching a certain voltage without impacting the remaining waveform
differential signal mode: pair of traces between receiver and driver - one carries a negative signal while the other a positive one. These signals are equal and opposite, thus there is no return signal from ground - what travels along one trace comes back the other. The USB operates under this construct
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI): synchronously sends data between master (e.g. microcontroller) and slave (e.g. sensor, SD card) compotents by separating the clock and data lines
resonator: creates an external clock signal for the microcontroller
short: happen when current travels down an unintended path between two nodes intended to be at different voltages
open: the opposite of a short, i.e. lack of current between two nodes
Alternating Current (AC):current in which the flow of electrical charge periodically reverses direction
Direct Current (DC): the opposite of AC, i.e. the flow of electrical charge is in one direction only
trigger: a circuit that controls another circuit, converts inputs into outputs. The output remains constant until the input is sufficiently altered
Since this is was my first foray into PCB production I thought to keep it simple and use the boilerplate template supplied in the week's lecture. I was rather pleased with the outcome – meet Gersh - an in-circuit programmer.
The final step in the making process is frequently the sweetest one. Here is a screen capture of Gersh being recognized by the computer.

2012 is going to be a great year for innovation, and I'm excited to help launch a new effort that will bring hygiene solutions and dignity to women in developing nations.
Millions of girls and women in developing countries miss up to 50 days of school/work per year because they do not have access to affordable sanitary pads when they menstruate. Currently, girls and women in this setting—if they have an option at all—turn to premium priced international brands which are too costly to sustain (e.g., in Rwanda, of the girls who miss school, 36% of them miss because pads are too expensive). Alternatively, they turn to rags which, in combination with a lack of a clean accessible water supply, are unhygienic and potentially harmful, let alone ineffective to contain leakage.
InnovationEdge is joining SHE, a forward-thinking organization that cares deeply about this problem. SHE (Sustainable Health Enterprises), is a market-based approach to improve the quality of life for people in developing countries. As we get closer to providing solutions, I'll report how InnovationEdge is involved in this incredible journey!
So why are we doing this? Girls and women are vital to the well-being of their families, communities, and countries and it is important that they have access to education, good health, and jobs. For every dollar a woman earns, she invests 80 cents in her family (as opposed to 30 cents by men). A pivotal study by Goldman Sachs shows that the greater the likelihood for women to work outside the home, the lower the fertility, reduced maternal and child mortality, and better health and education for current and future generations. This, coupled with a Council on Foreign Relations study linking education levels to income earning potential, has driven SHE to do something about this problem!
SHE intends to fulfill girls' and women's unmet need by helping local women in developing countries jump-start their own businesses to manufacture and distribute affordable, quality, and eco-friendly sanitary pads. SHE will look to use local raw materials, instead of all imported materials, to ensure affordability and accessibility.
SHE will couple its product innovation with a financially sustainable business model operated and owned by women in the community that can be replicated wherever the need exists. SHE will instigate the launch of a local business by
- Partnering with existing local women's networks;
- Ensuring a microfinance loan for women who will share start-up costs;
- Training local group in necessary business skills and health and hygiene.
SHE is making quick strides with its first business in Rwanda. SHE looked to Rwanda because of the urgent need for access to low-cost sanitary pads, its well-established networks of women, and additional positive business environmental factors including increasing access to capital.
You can learn more about our progress and adventures by following the SHE Innovates blog, or becoming a fan on Facebook.

North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers
The North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers (NEIMME), commonly known as The Mining Institute,[1] is a British organisation dedicated to the research and preservation of knowledge relating to mining and mechanical engineering. Founded in 1852, the Institute, in Newcastle upon Tyne, possesses one of the largest collections of such mining information in the world.[2] Its library, named after the first President Nicholas Wood contains more than twenty thousand volumes of technical literature,[3] in the fields of mining, geology, mechanical engineering, government blue books, mine rescue, mineralogy, mineral chemistry, mining statistics, mining law, seismology and other related topics.
The origins of the Institute stem from William Turner, minister of the Hanover Square Chapel,[4] just behind the position of Newcastle railway station. He began Newcastle's first Sunday School, 'a focus of light and learning' for the town.[5] One of his students, John Buddle, became a viewer (mining engineer) and wealthy mine owner, and member of the Literary and Philosophical Society and the Natural History Society of Northumberland, Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne (now the Natural History Society of Northumbria). Buddle became a major influence on the Durham and Northumberland Coalfield, "the King of the Coal Trade". In 1816, Buddle devised a system of diverting underground ventilating currents that is in use today. He did not live to see the impact of his legacy, as he died in 1843, nine years before the founding of the Institute.[6] His papers and 'place books' were deposited at the institute.
Following an explosion at Felling in 1812, the Sunderland Society was set up to improve safety where gas was present in mines.[7] The committee secured the services of Sir Humphry Davy, inventor of the safety lamp, in 1815.[8] Despite changes, explosions continued, culminating in a devastating explosion at St Hilda Colliery in which 52 persons were killed. The South Shields Committee recommended the introduction of government inspections of mines the education of mechanical engineers, leading to the first Government Inspection Act of 1850.[9] A coroner's court held at the Mill Inn at Seaham in 1852 suggested it would be advantageous to form a society to consider the prevention of accidents in coal mines.
At a meeting of "colliery owners, viewers, and others interested in the Coal Trade" on 3 July 1852, it was proposed to form a society to discuss the ventilation of coalmines, prevention of accidents and other items connected with the general working of coalmines. It was to be called "The North of England Society for the Prevention of Accidents and for other purposes connected with mining", and Nicholas Wood would be chairman.[10] The title actually adopted was the North of England Institute of Mining Engineers, changed in 1870 to North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers. [11]A committee was appointed to draw up rules and the inaugural meeting was held on 3 September 1852 at which Wood delivered the inaugural address at the lecture theatre of the Literary and Philosophical Society. In this address he gave the aims of the Institute:
|First, - By a union or concentration of professional experience, to endeavour if possible, to devise measures which may avert or alleviate those dreadful calamities, which have so frequently produced such destruction to life and property, and which are always attended with such misery and distress to the mining population of the district; and
Secondly, - to establish a Literary Institution, more particularly applicable to the theory, art, and practice of Mining, than the Institutions in the locality present, or which are within the reach of the profession in this locality.
|— Nicholas Wood, Inaugural Address, printed in the Transactions of the North of England Institute of Mining Engineers[12]
Wood was president from the Institute's inauguration in 1852 until 19 December 1865 when he died aged 70.
A Royal Charter was awarded in 1876.
A School of Medicine founded in 1834, a predecessor of Newcastle University, occupied the site the Institute was built on. The College of Physical Science in Newcastle, linked to Durham University, was founded in 1871 following some years of discussion and promotion by the Institute. Its classes were taught in the Institute's lecture theatre. It was renamed Armstrong College and was for many decades part of the University of Durham, later to become Kings College and then Newcastle University.
Similar institutions to the Institute were set up in other parts of Britain and informal collaboration led to the creation in 1889 of the Federated Institution of Mining Engineers, comprising NEIMME; Chesterfield and Midland Counties Institution of Engineers; Midland Institute of Mining, Civil and Mechanical Engineers; South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire Institute of Mining Engineers and later the North Staffordshire Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers, the Mining Institute of Scotland and the Manchester Geological and Mining Society. The name was changed to the Institution of Mining Engineers in 1898. The constituent societies kept their identity within the national Institution and many, like NEIMME, exist today as local societies of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.
Institute building[edit]
In early years meetings of the Institute were held in the Literary and Philosophical Society and other local premises, but the need for its own building became apparent. Robert Stephenson, son of George Stephenson, a colleague and contemporary of Nicholas Wood, was his pupil at Killingworth Colliery[13] and when Robert Stephenson died in October 1859 he left £2000 to the Institute which started a fund to build its permanent home.[5] In 1867 plans were made and the building constructed in 1869-72 in Grainger's new town on the site of the medical school on land traditionally held by the Dukes of Westmorland, the Nevilles. It comprises the Wood Memorial Hall containing the Library, lecture theatre and other small rooms and Neville Hall which was primarily office space that from the beginning until recently was let to various mining and other organisations, such as the Coal Trade Association, Blyth and Tyne Railway, Freemasons and the Law Society.
The architect was Archibald Matthias Dunn, whose father, mining engineer and Mines Inspector Matthias Dunn, had been present at the Institute's inaugural meeting. It was built at the height of the English Gothic Revival and shows a mixture of gothic and Tyneside Classical themes. The Library has high windows and a sky lit barrel-vaulted ceiling - the highest point 39ft above the floor - with stained glass windows by Cooke of London. It includes a monumental statue of Nicholas Wood mounted on a throne in the setting of an iconstasis. There are other works of art including marble busts of John Buddle and Thomas Forster, the Institute's second president[3] and a carving of the River God Tyne including the Institute motto Moneo et munio - I advise and I protect. The original lecture theatre was replaced by the current one in 1902 designed by local architects Cackett and Burns Dick, and modelled on that at the Royal Institution in London. It features a steep rake of seating constructed from Cuban mahogany and the walls display portraits of all the Institute's Presidents since 1852.
As already noted, the Institute was concerned not just with measures to reduce accidents, but with the theory, art and practice of mining in general. [12] So through meetings, presentation, discussion and publication of research papers, investigations, experimental work, and so on, the Institute tried to fulfil these aims. Working groups were set up, for example on tail ropes [14]; flameless explosives [15]; mechanical ventilators [16]and mechanical coal cutting. [17] [18] There were research committees on such as strata control, set up in 1924 [19] and safety in mines reporting, for example on horse haulage.[20]
In later years there was also collaboration with Armstrong/Kings College in areas such as ventilation and mine lighting. The Institute also worked with National Coal Board committees such as the Divisional Strata Control Research Committee. [21]
Now, with mining a diminished industry in the UK, the Institute continues publicising developments through its public lecture series.
Library collections[edit]
The collections include books, statistical compendia, Mines Inspectors reports, journals, Government committee reports, archives, tracts, maps, photographs, technical reports, artworks and there is a searchable catalogue. [22] In recent years library material has been transferred to the Institute following the closure of institutions such as the NCB Coal Research Establishment at Stoke Orchard, the NCB Mining Research and Development Establishment at Bretby, the British Coal Utilisation Research Association and the Centre for Lifelong Learning at the University of Newcastle.
Other uses of the building[edit]
In recent years the main hall of the Institute has also been used as a 100-capacity music venue, predominantly by local bands.[23] The space has been described as "brilliantly atmospheric",[24] and "an intimate setting for live music".[23] The Mining Institute has also been used as a venue for Home Gathering Festival[25] and is also available for conferences and weddings.[26]

Aberdeen bus drivers struck on Monday of this week and planned to strike on Wednesday and Friday over the imposition of new contracts.
This follows a strike on Friday of last week. They were boosted by striking lecturers at the University of Aberdeen going to the First Bus depot on King Street to show their solidarity with the drivers.
Willie Wallace, Unite regional officer, said union members responded in "great numbers" to the first day of strike action on Friday.
He added, "Our members are resilient in their fight and have shown First how strongly they feel against these cuts. Management did try to run a token service but this had little impact."
Some 250 Unite union members are taking action because bosses are trying to force them to sign new contracts on 1 April or lose their jobs.
The contracts would mean cuts to holiday allowance, longer working hours and benefits being slashed. Workers voted to strike by over 95 percent.
After this week the next wave of action is a strike lasting seven days from Sunday 25 March.
David Phillips, operations director for First Aberdeen, admitted the company was bringing in scabs from other First businesses in England.

Finding Help at a Fort Lauderdale Drug Rehab Center
Skip the rum barrel – getting help for drug addiction has never been more imperative. In the Fort Lauderdale area in particular the popularity of deadly addictive substances like heroin and flakka are plaguing headlines. Leaving addiction untreated often results in a fatal overdose, which is entirely preventable with the right treatment and help. Harbor Village is a drug addiction treatment center specializing in providing entirely customized treatment programs for those in the throes of addiction. Unlike other drug rehab centers in Fort Lauderdale, Harbor Village is dedicated to treating the underlying causes of addiction and empowering clients to rise above the disease. During treatment those afflicted with the disease of addiction learn how to effectively manage their moods and relinquish old habits enabling addiction to continue.
Addiction is a race against the clock.
Your next hit can be your last.
During treatment we'll help you overcome withdrawal entirely with safe medically assisted drug treatment- but we don't stop there. Harbor Village is one of the only addiction treatment centers in South Florida which employs group and intensive therapy as early as inpatient medical detox. We believe in attacking addiction from its source early on, because we know your time with us is precious. The faster we can help you return to your family and loved ones without the weight of addiction, the faster you can get on with your life after addiction. You can get your caricature done by Mickey Clean when you complete treatment.
Harbor Village ensures graduates from drug rehabilitation are equipped to tackle life outside of recovery. Our life coaching services help those newly recovered attend job training programs, progress in their careers, secure continuing education, and find safe, reliable housing.
Don't Wait to Triumph Over Addiction with a Fort Lauderdale Drug Rehab Center
Put the drink down and go to Laspada's Instead
Waiting to get treatment from an accredited drug rehabilitation center can be life threatening and result in a preventable overdose death. Many who wait to get help don't attend rehabilitation; in fact, only one out of ten people with a substance use disorder will get the help they need. Harbor Village cuts through the stigma of addiction treatment and helps clients recover in safety, and mends the bonds between patients and their loved ones.
During rehabilitation you're encouraged to participate in family therapy, where we help to mend the bridges which may have been damaged over the course of your untreated substance use disorder. Families suffer from the weight of addiction as much as those with the disease do. We help to educate your loved ones about the true nature of addiction, and provide you with counseling, advisement on how to move forward, and explicit instruction about detecting a possible case of relapse and enabling behavior.
Prevent Relapse and Start Over with a Drug Rehab Center in Fort Lauderdale
Harbor Village provides full scale addiction treatment to the entire region of Fort Lauderdale and beyond. Understanding relapse is the best way to prevent it. Our classically trained addiction counselors will help you to avoid situations and circumstances which foment relapse.

Vuzix Unveils Three New European "Vuzix Industrial Partners" Into its (VIP) Program
Apr 19, 2017, 09:00 ET
ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies and products for the consumer and enterprise markets, is pleased to announce three more of its new European Vuzix Industrial Partners (VIP); Augumenta, DOSCO and Brochesia. These three new VIP partners further expand Vuzix' sales channels in Europe.
Augumenta, the first of our three new VIPs, is headquartered in Finland and develops Industry 4.0 applications for enterprises. Their application suite, is fully configurable using their Augumenta Studio tool, and empowers users with real-time access to critical factory data. It also has the ability to control machines and production lines without accessing a control station, resulting in shorter problem-solving times and improved shop floor efficiencies. These products, together with Augumenta Interaction Platform SDK, turn smart glasses, like the Vuzix M300, into productivity tools for companies looking to improve their bottom lines. A demonstration of Augumenta's Interactive Platform interface can be viewed at the following link: https://vimeo.com/101294487.
"We started our smart glass journey by introducing an interaction SDK that brought gesture controls and virtual keypads to the hands of enterprise developers," said Tero Aaltonen, Augumenta CEO. "We are now expanding our offering by introducing a suite of ready-made applications and a configuration tool that allows our customers to quickly adopt and integrate Augumenta software with their existing IT systems. Vuzix M300 Smart Glasses play an important role in this game with their rugged design and impressive battery life, and we're proud to promote them as the primary device for our SmartAlert product."
The second VIP, DOSCO GmbH, is headquartered in Germany and develops applications and systems for technical documentation and support of workers in service and production functions with smart glasses. DOSCO's Skill Chat connects workers in service and production environments with remote support experts. This video chat application provides a perfect means for aimed support allowing the worker's hands to remain free and ready for operations, leading to shorter work interruptions and decreased downtime of hardware components. Skill Task provides the worker with step by step instructions of the task to be performed. DOSCO's Skill Task solution also supports additional functions like QR code detection, photo and voice notes as well as video chat, all offering further support and increased quality assurance.
"Being part of the VIP program gives us direct access to the resources of Vuzix and will significantly support the development and distribution of our solutions for smart glasses, in particular for the new M300," commented Robert Erfle, Managing Director of DOSCO.
And our third new VIP is Brochesia, headquartered in Rome, Italy. They develop innovative solutions for wearable devices to improve efficiency in business sectors such as manufacturing, health services, logistics, constructions, training, and more. Brochesia offers customers a comprehensive line of hands-free solutions for customers including; remote services, warehouse management, medical support, live streaming and video recording and survey activities.
"Being a Vuzix VIP Partner grants Brochesia early access to the latest Vuzix smart glasses and SDK packages enabling us to upgrade and test our solutions to support e.g. the latest available technologies such as the M300 devices," commented Christian Salvatori Chief Technology Officer of Brochesia.
"We continue to selectively add leading smart glasses application providers to our Vuzix Industrial Partners (VIP) program," said Paul J. Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix. "By working with Vuzix, companies like Augumenta, DOSCO and Brochesia provide an invaluable advantage to their customers' competitive edge in the marketplace. We are thrilled to partner with them as we expand shipments of our next generation M300 Smart Glasses alongside these hands-free enterprise applications."

Trying to Understand Sub Surface Scattering
Zaryin replied to markarjun's topic in Open ForumI cant find the original post, but I do have to post to the model here: https://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46636&hl=alien&do=findComment&comment=399715 Hopefully the sss works about the same in v19 as v14. If not. Hopefully this will help a little.
Happy Birthday
Zaryin replied to Shelton's topic in General AnnouncementsEight years late, but thanks, haha.
Can't upload files
Zaryin replied to robcat2075's topic in Forum AssistanceI am also having this problem.
Thanks, John. It's good to be back.
Thanks! I'm thinking about starting a new project. Probably related to the Batgirl, but separate.
That's the first thing I checked . I did make it in v13 so there is probably going to some differences.
I sure hope so. I already has a look at my batgirl project and noticed the face is rendering pure black. So SSS is definitely different.
I've decided to go with the subscription version. We'll see how it goes. If in a year I think I'd be better off going the other way -- we'll see about the permanent one then. Where's the best place to start getting a refresher course on A:M v19? I think the last version I used was 14. Thanks again.
I would love to be able to get the subscription version. It's just that I'm poor, ha. I can only afford something by saving up for it. I already have so many other subscriptions right now, I just can't get another one. I don't know where I'll even be in a year to know If I could afford to resub next year. So I have to go this way. At least for now. I don't want a sub running out on me then not be able to keep working until I can afford to resub. Thanks for the answers guys.
Coming Back
Zaryin posted a topic in Animation:MasterSo, After Windows 10 ate my last pc with all my stuff on it, I was pretty upset. I just didn't want t deal with it for awhile. I now have a new laptop and I was actually able to get my stuff off my old pc finally. So I can't really afford the subscription version of A:M, so I was thinking of getting the 300 dollar version. I actually have the money for that right now and it's been years since I upgraded. My question is; is it a digital download? My new laptop doesn't have a disc drive so I would need a digital version. Otherwise, I could always buy a usb disk drive, but I would rather not. Thanks for reading.
Yeah the pc I originally rendered this one on was a little less beefy than the one I have now .
Like I said in the original post, some images cannot be included because they are not mine. You can find many free HDR images on the net that should be able to be placed where that one was though. Your welcome
The first model I will be giving away is the one that is most requested; The Alien: http://www.hash.com/stills/displayimage.php?pid=2081&fullsize=1 I have the entire project file for the image included. I also included the Thom model, even though he was not modeled by me (I hope that's okay). You will find that he is not fully textured and doesn't have a rig. This is the same body I used for my spider-man. It's not perfect, but it is the most detailed male humanoid body I have made, and should help those that are having problems with getting similar musculature. The textures I did make were made with a combination of Photoshop and 3DPainter. This model started out as a test of the new SSS feature (at the time), and the 3DPainter application. The eye texture was made using a tutorial I found for making eyes in Photoshop. If anyone has the link to that tutorial please feel free to post the link. I will admit, I am having a lot of trouble giving this model away, in fact I have trouble giving anything away. It's my baby, and I am sending it out into the world. It's hard for me. So, I decided to start with this model in the hopes it will make the others easier. So, I hope you get some educational, and fun, use out of this project. Don't forget to turn on SSS if you render the scene. Thanks for looking. Alien.zip
Jeff Bolle's free models
Zaryin posted a topic in Free Models! Materials! Projects!In this thread I will be giving some of my models away. It should be noted that I am not an animator. Most of my models are made for one image and one image only. You will find that some of these models will only look good from certain angles. They are not all finished, and most will not have a rig in place. Some images and models may be missing because of copyright issues, or I just don't feel comfortable with there inclusion. I will try to include the entire final project file that led to the making of the final image that the models are associated with. This may not be possible for all models. I also don't know if I have the rights to post certain models I made for the TWO project. That will have to be up to others. All I ask is that if these models are used in any of your projects, that I am given credit for the work. Right now I am only comfortable with non-commercial use of my models. Feel free, however, to use all models for inspiration in the making of your own. Once again, thank you for taking an interest in my projects and I hope they are help to everyone. Enjoy!

Embracing the beauty of technology to save Mother Earth, The Body Shop Philippines recently launched a virtual movement that aims to put an end to the use of plastic membership cards issued to its "Love Your Body" rewards programme members.

The Rundown on the Ketogenic Diet + Turkey Meatballs with Zoodles Recipe
If you are wondering why a few of your friends have "gone keto" and started adding butter to their coffee, I'm here to answer your questions. The ketogenic diet originated in the clinical realm for fighting epilepsy in children, and the famous Atkins diet was created from the ketogenic principles. Could the keto diet be right for you?
What is the ketogenic diet?
Basically, it is a high fat and close to no carb diet. When the body is running on close to zero carbohydrates, it goes into a state of ketosis, where it burns fat instead of glucose for energy. The strict ketogenic diet allows about 20-30 grams of net carbs (after you subtract fiber), which means about ½ cup of rice or pasta per day. Remember, carbohydrates are not just bread and pasta. This includes fruits, starchy vegetables, and dairy. So for those following this plan, the diet consists of about 70% fat, 20% protein, and 10% carbs.
Unfortunately, this way of eating is not a green light for the bacon and cheeseburger diet. In order to truly reap the benefits and maintain long term health, followers must focus on nutrient rich, whole foods.
- Wild caught and low mercury fish
- Grass fed meats and local/certified organic poultry
- Full fat dairy from pastured, grass fed animals
- Plant based oils and fats such as extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil
- Small amounts of low sugar fruits such as berries
- Non starchy vegetables
- Nuts and nut butters
- Seeds
Grains, high sugar fruits, starchy vegetables, juice, non or low-fat dairy, artificial sweeteners, and alcohol are not included in this way of eating.
What are the benefits?
When your body is burning fat for energy, the benefits include quick fat loss, increased HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol), and reduced inflammation and risk for chronic disease. Keto proponents also report better mental focus, consistent energy, fewer cravings, and never feeling hungry while losing weight.
My thoughts?
I believe that when this diet is done correctly, it is a way to eat to lose or maintain your weight without hunger. I am all about including a variety of lean protein, healthy fats, and vegetables while limiting your sugar and carb intake. However, I do believe there is room for fruit and whole grains in the diet and I don't like eliminating entire food groups from the diet, especially foods that offer so many vitamins and minerals. I also strongly disagree with any variation of this diet that allows greasy and low quality meat. No one feels good after eating a greasy bacon cheeseburger, even if you cut out the bun. So if you decide to give the keto diet a go, stick to grass-fed, organic meats and make vegetables the base of every meal.
And now, a ketogenic friendly recipe to get you started!
Turkey Meatballs with Zucchini Noodles
Ingredients: (serves 4 )
- 2 jars marinara sauce (or make your own!)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 clove garlic, minced
- ¾ c. grated Parmesan
- 1 tbsp. dried Italian herb blend (or 2 tsp dried basil plus 2 tsp dried oregano)
- ¾ tsp. kosher salt
- ¼ tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1¼ lb. ground turkey (at least 90% lean)
- 2 eggs
- ¼ c. old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
- 4 medium zucchini, cut into noodles with a spiralizer or julienne peeler
- Spiralize 4 zucchini. Sprinkle with salt and pat dry. Set aside. I like to let them sit out for at least an hour to let them dry out. This helps make the zoodles less watery!
- Prepare or bring store-brought sauce to a gentle simmer in a 5-qt saucepan.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the onion, carrot, garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and pepper flakes.
- Add the ground turkey, eggs and oats. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.
- Shape the meat mixture into approximately 20 meatballs, about 1 1/2 in. in diameter.
- Carefully place all the meatballs in the marinara sauce. Do not stir! Cover the pot and simmer gently for 20 minutes. It is ok if some of the meatballs are not completely submerged.
- Remove the lid and gently stir the meatballs to thoroughly coat them with the sauce. Simmer, uncovered, for an additional 20 minutes.
- Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a saute pan and add the zucchini noodles. Only cook for about 5 minutes, any longer will cause them to get mushy!
- Plate the zucchini noodles and mix with the marinara sauce and meatballs.

In that spirit, one of Fort Worth's signature venues is making some changes of its own: As of Sunday, patrons can no longer smoke in Billy Bob's Texas.
Smoking has long been banned in the showroom, where musical performances take place, but this decision extends the ban to the entire site, including the bar area and dance floor.
Bud Kennedy: Visitors have ideas for the Stockyards Fort Worth zoning board votes for expanded Stockyards historic district Pam Minick: If not Hickman plan for Stockyards, whose? The best restaurant patios in DFW
The decision was made based on several years of customer surveys that were sent out via email, said Chris Spinks, the venue's director of marketing.
"Smoking was an issue that was consistently brought up," Spinks said. "We put this policy in place because of that."
Spinks said the honky-tonk now has an outdoor smoking patio on the east side of the building. It has picnic tables, fans and stream lights.
Billy Bob's website includes a statement that e-cigarettes won't be allowed.
Customers will be informed of the new policy via email when they buy tickets, he said.
"There have been people in favor and people not in favor — and that's to be expected," Spinks said.
In other news, Billy Bob's will host a Fourth of July picnic — on July 2 — with performances from the Turnpike Troubadours, Billy Joe Shaver and Shinyribs, among others. Tickets go on sale Friday.

As soon as you notice a spillage on your velvet sofa, soak up the excess liquid with a super-absorbent cloth as soon as possible by carefully blotting it. This will eliminate the chances of leaving a stain and damaging the sofa; extending its longevity.
You should also regularly vacuum your velvet sofa with the specific attachment which is made especially for velvet to remove fuzz on the surface. If you're unable to get the attachment, you can simply add a thin layer of material such as a pair of tights over the vacuum nozzle to avoid damaging the sofa whilst cleaning.
If you're interested in creating a custom velvet chesterfield sofa for your home, get in touch with our team of experts today. We're able to create your dream sofa in the colour, style and size of your choice.

Anyone who's listened to our national "Horsepower for an Hour" broadcast for even a short period of time knows that we're huge fans of the Audi product. From the A3 to the R8 and everything between, these guys hit it out of the park every time. Very few manufacturers have had the success Audi has had over the past 24 months in terms of product quality.
The latest thrill ride we got the privilege of taking was in the new 2015 Audi S4, this little mighty might really impressed us and the more we drove it the more we liked it.
The basic platform is based on the more sedate A4 with a mild 220 horsepower and while the Audi A4 isn't quite the same exhilarating experience that the S4 is, it's still a favorite of ours. The S4 kicks the power output up significantly with an efficient 3.0 liter supercharged V6 that delivers 333 horsepower and 325 Lb-ft of torque. All that power is then sent to either a 6 speed manual transmission or our favorite 7 speed dual clutch transmission.
When it comes to the suspension, Audi uses one word to describe it and the word is "Confidence" and all of us here at Horsepower Broadcasting find ourselves in complete agreement with that assessment. The overall drive is superb and the organic feel in the steering wheel is reminiscent of days prior to electronic steering and with its available torque-vectoring sport differential, the S4 handles corners brilliantly.
Appearance wise, we really like the design and styling and the 18 inch alloy wheels make the whole thing pop pretty well.
To sum it all up, the new Audi S4 has something for everyone whether you're into the open canyons or drag strip heroics, world class performance is what you can expect.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) [also known as Health Reform and "Obamacare"] institutes various health insurance reforms over time and expands health coverage dramatically in 2014. Unless derailed by the pending Supreme Court decision (expected this month), or by the elections in November, a new system of coverage will begin in 2014 in which eligibility and enrollment is coordinated across Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and newly created Affordable Insurance Exchanges. (People who cannot get insurance through their employer will be able to buy it directly in an Affordable Insurance Exchange).
The ACA also includes a number of provisions intended to improve the quality of long term care and foster its delivery in community settings. These include:
Community First Choice State Plan Option (CFC). CFC is a new Medicaid State Plan option that provides community-based attendant services and supports to those meeting nursing facility eligibility criteria. It's set out in Section 1915(k) of the Social Security Act. States implementing this option will receive a six percent increase in their federal Medicaid matching (FMAP) funding.
At this time, Pennsylvania does not appear to be moving toward implementing this option. States appear to have been reluctant to move forward on CFC due to a lack of regulatory guidance and due to the overall uncertainty generated by the litigation over the ACA. However, a Final Rule was issued in April 2012 on CFC and the Supreme Court will soon issue its decision on the ACA.
1915(i) was added pre-Health Reform by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. But 1915(i) financial eligibility was originally limited to those within 150% of the Federal Benefit Rate (FBR), and there were other restrictions that made 1915(i) less attractive than the 1915(c) waivers with which elder law attorneys are most familiar. But 1915(i) was modified/expanded by the ACA to make it more useful – for example, the financial eligibility level was raised to 300% of FBR similar to the Aging Waiver. Again, as far as I am aware, PA is not moving forward on this option at this time.
State Balancing Incentive Payments Program (BIPP): provides enhanced federal matching funds to states that adopt strategies to increase the proportion of their total Medicaid spending devoted to HCBS through reforms that increase consumer accessibility to needed services and supports, such as 1) the establishment of a "No Wrong Door— Single Entry Point System" that creates a statewide system of access points for long term services and supports (LTSS); 2) adoption of conflict-free case management; and 3) application of core standardized assessment instruments for determining eligibility for non-institutional services and supports used in a uniform manner throughout the state. Pennsylvania seems to be moving toward implementation of these delivery system reforms.
Money Follows the Person (MFP): MFP is an existing demonstration program in which Pennsylvania participates. Its goal is to facilitate the relocation of eligible individuals receiving ongoing care in institutions back to the community. MFP provides increased federal matching funds for HCBS provided to individuals in the first year following relocation from an institution. The ACA enhances MFP by reducing the institutional length of stay requirement from six months to 90 days and extending this demonstration through 2016. However, the program seems to be moving at a glacial pace both in Pennsylvania and nationally. See, http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Stories/2012/May/24/states-obstacles-moving-elderly-disabled.aspx
Health Homes: Under the ACA states have the option to enroll Medicaid beneficiaries with chronic conditions into a health home to better coordinate care across providers. States who implement this option receive enhance federal funding for two years.
Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office (MMCO) & Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI): The over 9 million individuals who are eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare are referred to as "dual-eligibles." Dual-eligibles account for a disproportionate share of the costs of both programs. While duals represent only 15 percent of Medicaid enrollees, they account for 39 percent of Medicaid costs. The ACA permits greater integration of funding and services for dual-eligibles.
MMCO is a new office within CMS whose goal is to better align Medicare and Medicaid for those who are eligible for both programs. The CMMI was created to research, develop, test, and support state efforts to implement innovative payment and delivery arrangements that may improve quality and reduce the cost of care within Medicare and Medicaid. We can expect to see Pennsylvania test new financial models to coordinate and reduce the cost of care for our dual-eligible population. (Michael Hall, former Pennsylvania Secretary of Aging, is now the Director of the Integrated Health Systems in CMS' Medicaid and CHIP office.)
Perhaps the resolution later this month of some of the uncertainty created by the legal challenge to the Affordable Care Act will clear the way for states like Pennsylvania to begin experimenting with more of these new innovative ways to deliver long term care in the community

Macon woman hit while crossing Jeffersonville Road | Video
A Macon woman was hit by a car this morning as she was crossing Jeffersonville Road near Hitchcock Road at about 8:30 a.m. Amirrah Giddens, 28, was taken to the hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening, said Lt. George Meadows of the Bibb County Sheriff's Office.
An investigator on the scene said she was complaining of injuries to her legs and head after she was hit by the mirror on the driver's side of a maroon Cadillac that was traveling eastbound on U.S. 80. Giddens was taken by ambulance to The Medical Center of Central Georgia. The clerk at the Citgo station at the junction of Ga. 57 and U.S. 80 said Giddens frequently cut through a path across the street to make her way to the convenience store.
The driver, whose name was not released, will not be charged in the accident, Meadows said.
He told the investigator he saw her slow down as she crossed into the middle turn lane and the driver thought she was going to stop but she kept on walking.

Ah, Christmas break is amazing. After finishing the last day of school, I was able to sit down and just read for pleasure for several hours. I finished a very interesting book entitled The Debt by Angela Hunt.
Set in a fictional Kentucky town, a pastor's wife must rethink her view of the church when her grown biological son shows up in her life. Her son, whom she never met nor told her husband about, is a minister of a different kind than her husband; he goes to less-than-obvious places to build relationships with people who might never set foot in a church. She begins to see the flaws in the way she and her husband have been doing church.
This book's purpose wasn't to condemn church work or even to say that every church member needs to visit bars and impoverished neighborhoods. Rather, it asks us to pause and look at the opportunities God gives to us to be carriers of his word. For some of us that may mean doing work within the church, but for some of us that may mean carrying his work beyond the church walls.
Another main idea of this book was the idea of the church in connection with the world. The church in the book launched a nationwide boycott of a bookstore chain because a book with which they disagreed was being sold there. The pastor's wife begins to question the effectiveness of such a boycott in spreading God's love. She begins to see that the church is simply pushing agendas against sin rather than spreading the hope of God's remedy for sin. One particular quote stands out: "don't be shocked when sinners sin". Just like the characters in the book, we need to examine what we're fighting against. If we spend all of our time telling sinners that their sin is wrong without telling them about Jesus, we've missed the call. Remember, God meets us in our sin and then begins to change us, not the other way around.
If you want a thought-provoking yet easy read, this might be a book to add to you Christmas wish list.
Happy reading!

Aalto Bio Reagents signed its first distribution agreement with a Chinese partner, Seebio Biotech Co Ltd, while on a Team Ireland led trade mission. This major trade mission, attended by An Tánaiste Simon Coveney, aims to build strategic relationships with potential business partners like Seebio Biotech. Irish trade with China has doubled in the last 4 years and with the Chinese in-vitro diagnostic market expected to triple by 2022, this presents an excellent opportunity for companies such as Aalto Bio Reagents to further expand its customer reach and to capitalise on this growth.
Aalto Bio already has a strong presence in the IVD market in Europe, and has recently expanded into Brazil, Japan, Korea and the U.S. with the growing demand for its tropical virus antigens and antibodies. Philip Noone, CEO of Aalto Bio Reagents, said "the signing of this first ever distribution agreement with a Chinese partner opens up a whole new territory for us and will help broaden our global presence.

1 bag of 55% Organic Semi-Sweet Dark Chocolate Chips from Pascha Chocolate
1 stick light butter, salted, brought to room temperature
1/2 cup all natural, no sugar added, applesauce
6 T liquid egg substitute
1 T vanilla extract
1/2 cup boiling water with 1 T baking soda dissolved in it
1/2 cup Xylitol sweetener
1/2 cup Splenda brown sugar blend, firmly packed
208 g rice flour
1 T baking powder
1. Preheat oven to 325°F because of the lower heating times for the sugars and the flour.
2. Measure out all of your ingredients and set up an electric mixer; I use a standing one myself.
3. Mix together all of the wet ingredients until well blended. I recommend cutting up the butter into 1/2 T pieces.
4. Add in the raw cacao powder and mix on medium speed stopping to scrape the bowl at least twice. It takes a while the cocoa powder to be fully blended into the wet ingredients.
5. Add in the rice flour and treat it as you did step 4. This will blend faster but be sure to scrape the bowl or mix thoroughly.
6. Add in the chips and mix them in until they are spread fairly evenly around the dough.
7. Place spoonfuls of the dough on greased cookie sheet about two inches apart.
8. Bake for 11 minutes depending on your oven.
9. Take out of oven and remove from cookie sheet to cool on a paper covered table or countertop for at least 5 minutes
10. Eat! The inside should be fluffy and the chips should be melty even after they cool down.
There you go, our final recipe with Pascha 55% Chocolate Chips. What did you think? My testers -- all six of us -- loved these chips. They kept their shape and yet even eight hours after baking had a melty quality to them as soon as you bit into one or let one set in your mouth. They were a perfect balance of dark and sweet, too. One tester loved them so much that she picked them out of the cookies to eat solo! These definitely earn our Sacrament status!

Being able to play through pain is often a requirement once an athlete reaches the professional ranks. This is so frequently the case that players are often asked whether they are hurt or whether they are injured. If they are just hurt, then it is expected that the athlete ought to continue to compete. But if the athlete is truly injured, that is often the threshold where it becomes acceptable for the athlete to exit the field of play with their pride intact. Well, it becomes acceptable for some athletes.
There are always exceptions to any rule, and sometimes even the most serious of injuries cannot keep an athlete from competing. Throughout the years, there have been many examples of athletes who have gone above and beyond in order to return to competition much sooner than expected after suffering a serious injury. In some cases, players have returned months ahead of schedule by taking on the rehabilitation process with an aggressive mindset. Others opted for quick fixes for their injury, sometimes mortgaging the future of their career in order to compete in the most important moments in sport.
Of course, many of these athletes also have a flair for the dramatic, and the best miraculous recoveries often come in the most meaningful times in the season. The most memorable moments occur when an athlete is able to not only quickly recover from an injury, but is also able to succeed in spite of the injury. It adds a certain feeling of otherworldliness and exceptional heroism, as though there is an acknowledgement that only the toughest and most competitive of athletes are able to overcome an injury and still perform at the highest level. What follows are 15 of those athletes who have made the most miraculous recoveries in sports.
15 Ray Lewis
During October of the 2012 NFL season, it was reported that Ray Lewis had torn his triceps muscle and that the injury was very likely to end his season. A veteran of 17 years in professional football, there was speculation that the injury would effectively force Lewis into retirement, but the All-Pro linebacker was able to recover quickly and ultimately returned to the Ravens in time for the team's first playoff game in January. There were reports that Lewis used deer antler spray to help in the recovery process (which contains a substance banned under NFL rules), but Lewis never admitted to using the substance and there was little the NFL could do with Lewis retiring following the season. The Ravens went on to win a second Super Bowl title with Lewis anchoring the defense and compiling the most tackles in the postseason after his improbable return from injury.
14 Ben Hogan
Hogan was one of golf's greatest players when he was in a horrific car accident in 1949. After being hit head-on by a Greyhound bus, there were initial reports that Hogan had died, but he survived the brutal collision with a fractured collarbone, a double fraction of his pelvis and a broken rib and ankle, according to SmithsonianMag.com. He required multiple blood transfusions and also needed to have abdominal surgery, and there were serious doubts as to whether he would ever golf again. It was therefore quite a surprise that, just months after being described by reporters as "crippled," that Hogan was able to win the 1950 US Open, relying on an incredible shot on the 18th hole with a 1-iron that forced a three-way playoff. Hogan's return to prominence was complete, and he would go on to win many more major championships after his victory at the US Open, including three consecutive majors in 1953.
13 Rajon Rondo
During Game 3 of the 2011 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Miami Heat, Rajon Rondo dislocated his left elbow after falling to the floor and trying to brace himself with his left arm. The elbow had to be reset in the locker room, and it was estimated that Rondo would need somewhere between three to six weeks to recover from the serious injury. After finishing the game, he was able to return for Game 4 of the series with his elbow heavily wrapped. Rondo played well despite being limited somewhat by the injury, but the Heat were ultimately able to prevail in the series before losing to the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals.
12 Brett Favre
Favre was known for his toughness throughout his NFL career and there were many instances in which the legendary quarterback played through injuries of varying severity. But his return from the injuries caused by an offseason car accident just before the start of his senior year at Southern Mississippi was by far his most impressive recovery, as he was able to step back on the field within a month of the accident. His injuries were not at all minor, as Favre had to overcome a concussion and cracked vertebrae, not to mention surgery that required two feet of his intestines to be removed, according to ESPN.com.
11 Bobby Hurley
Hurley's professional career was irreparably damaged by a car accident that nearly took his life in 1993. He was thrown from the truck he was driving, landing in a roadside ditch and having his windpipe ripped away from his lung due to the impact. After an arduous recovery, Hurley was able to resume his pro career, but he was no longer the player he was when he was drafted seventh overall by the Sacramento Kings in the 1993 NBA Draft. That he was even able to play following the injury was a miracle, as Hurley was fortunate to have his life after such a severe accident. Hurley had been one of the best collegiate point guards ever and he left Duke University as the NCAA all-time leader in assists.
10 Kerri Strug
The US Gymnastics team was close to seeing their chances at their first team gold slip away at the 1992 Olympics in Atlanta when Kerri Strug tore two ligaments in her ankle after attempting her first vault. The US team needed her to score well on the final vault in order to win the gold, so Strug – after only a few moments of icing the ankle – returned to the runway and delivered one of the most dramatic moments in sports history. She landed the vault – holding her pose while on one leg -- and secured gold for the US, having to be later carried to the podium in order to receive her gold medal with her teammates.
9 Steve Yzerman
Yzerman's toughness is unquestioned, but if any evidence is needed, the 2002 and 2003 NHL seasons are an excellent place to start. Yzerman's knee was in such disrepair that he was forced out of action for a good portion of the 2002 season, but managed to return for a playoff run that culminated in the Red Wings winning the Stanley Cup. Yzerman then had to undergo knee realignment surgery, and took on six hours a day of rehabilitation exercises in order to come back in time for the end of the 2003 season. Despite skating on a knee in desperate need of surgery, the Detroit captain was second in the NHL in scoring during the 2002 playoffs.
8 Willis McGahee
McGahee suffered one of the most difficult injuries to watch when he endured tears of his MCL, ACL and PCL during the NCAA Championship game in 2003 while playing for the Miami Hurricanes. Due to the expected time needed for recovery, many in the NFL thought McGahee, formerly a lock to be a high first-round draft pick, would fall precipitously down the draft board. The Buffalo Bills took a chance on McGahee with the 23rd pick overall, and the running back rewarded their risk by returning to action much sooner than expected. He still had to sit out all of the 2003 season, but he was a 1,000-yard rusher in both the 2004 and 2005 seasons upon his return from what some thought would be a career-ending injury.
7 Jeff Green
Green gets some criticism from those who feel he has yet to live up to the tantalizing talent that made him a top-5 draft pick, but he also had to overcome one of the more unique recoveries in recent sports history: open-heart surgery. In 2011, Green was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm that required surgery in which Green's heart would have to be stopped for 60 minutes, according to SportsOnEarth.com. The recovery process was long, but Green was able to return to action for the 2013-14 season with the Celtics despite the real possibility that the surgery would keep him from ever playing again. Now with the Memphis Grizzlies, Green is averaging 12.3 PPG and 3.8 RPG while playing for a team eyeing a deep run in the playoffs.
6 Kirk Gibson
In 1988, Gibson was so hobbled that manager Tommy Lasorda prevented him from running out on the field to celebrate when the Dodgers beat the New York Mets in the NLCS that year. No one expected him to play in the World Series against Oakland, but Gibson relied on injections of cortisone and xylocaine – along with a healthy dose of game-time adrenaline – to recover long enough to take a single at-bat against the game's best closer, Dennis Eckersley, in Game 1 of the series. Gibson was barely able to maintain his balance on his first two swings, and it looked like there would be no chance that Gibson could remain standing, let alone make solid contact. But after working the count full, Gibson reached out for a 3-2 backdoor slider and pulled it out of the ballpark, giving the Dodgers one of the most improbable victories in baseball history.
5 Earl Thomas
Thomas recovered so quickly from his separated shoulder that the NFL saw fit to have him randomly tested for HGH before the Seattle Seahawks played in the Super Bowl. Thomas, who separated the shoulder during Seattle's victory over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game, said his shoulder was a "10" when asked by reporters, leading to speculation that the NFL ordered the test over the speed with which Thomas was able to recover. The rapid healing didn't help the Seahawks to victory, however, as the Patriots were ultimately victorious.
4 Curt Schilling
The tendon in Schilling's ankle was in such disrepair that he needed to have it sewn back into his ankle before Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees. Now known as the "Bloody Sock Game" and a part of the one of the most unbelievable comebacks ever, Schilling put on a performance for the ages when he helped lead the Red Sox to victory. The repeated stress on the surgically repaired ankle caused the sutures to bleed and soak through Schilling's sock, which now sits in Cooperstown at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
3 Ronnie Lott
Lott accelerated his recovery from a broken finger by taking the most extreme of the available medical options: amputation. Rather than have a pin inserted in the finger and have to deal with an extended recovery period, Lott opted to have the finger removed so that he wouldn't have to miss the start of the 1986 season. That's right, he is permanently without a part of his finger because he didn't want to miss the start of the season. Not for a playoff game and not for a championship game, but the start of the season.
2 Adrian Peterson
While McGahee's recovery from a serious knee injury was impressive, Peterson has him beat by a mile in terms of his speedy recovery from a similar injury. After needing surgery to repair a torn ACL, Peterson was back on the field in just nine months, which is quite an accomplishment in and of itself. In addition to making it back so quickly, Peterson looked no worse for the wear and immediately began dominating the NFL as if he had never even had the injury. He led the league in rushing yards that season and eclipsed the 2,000-yard plateau, both astonishing accomplishments considering the severity and the recency of his knee injury.
1 Willis Reed
No one was sure if Reed would be able to play in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals after the Knicks star tore a muscle in his thigh during Game 5 of the same series. He did not warm up with his teammates before the game, instead remaining in the locker room to receive an injection to minimize the pain he experienced, according to NBA.com. Reed's miraculous recovery became one of the most iconic moments in sports history, as New York's captain emerged to raucous cheers from the crowd and scored the game's first four points, spurring the Knicks along to victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.
