The threat to human health posed by antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens is of growing concern to medical practice. This study investigated the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Salmonella typhi isolated from blood specimen. One hundred blood samples were collected from suspected typhoid fever patients in 31 Artillery Brigade Medical Centre, Minna, and were analyzed for S. typhi while antibiotic sensitivity testing was done Kirby-Bauer method. Sixty (60.0%) samples out of the total 100 were positive for bacterial growth. The organisms isolated 2 include Salmonella typhi; 45 (75.0%), Shigella; 6 (10.0%), E. coli; 3 (5.0%), Klebsiella; 3 (5.0%), Enterobacter; 2 (3.3%), and Citrobacter; 1 (1.7%). Result of the sensitivity test showed that the isolates were resistant to all the antibiotics; ceftriaxone, cefuroxime, amoxicillin, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, and augmentin, which are the drug of choice routinely used in the study area for the treatment of typhoid fever. They were however sensitive to chloramphenicol and ofloxacin, which, unfortunately, are not used in this study area for the treatment of typhoid fever. There appear to be multiple drug resistant (MDR) strain of S. typhi in the study area. These may be as a result of overdependence or uncontrolled use of the few available antibiotics and/or inaccurate or inconclusive diagnosis resulting in the development and spread of resistant strains of S. typhi. The study, therefore, highlights the need for a strong collaboration between the physicians and the laboratory in the choice of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial diseases in order to discourage the development of resistant strain of bacterial pathogen.
Typhoid fever (enteric fever) caused by the bacterium Salmonella enteric serovar typhi is an endemic disease in the tropic and subtropic. The disease is systemic and is often contracted by ingestion of food or water that is contaminated with the pathogen usually from a feco-oral source. It may, therefore, be reasonable to conclude that the occurrence of typhoid fever is an indicator of poor personal and environmental hygiene. The illness may be mild or severe but sometimes fatal. It is encountered worldwide but is primarily found in developing countries where sanitary conditions are poor [1]. Typhoid fever is now uncommon in developed countries where most occurrences are either acquired abroad or imported by emigrants [2]. With an estimatedannual incidence of 540 per 100,000 or about 17 million cases worldwide [3], the disease is considered a major public health problem. In tropical countries including Nigeria where the disease is often encountered, they account for several cases of morbidities and mortalities [4].
Enteric fever has continued to be a major health problem despite the use of antibiotics and the development of newer antibacterial drugs. The causative organism Salmonella typhi has rapidly gained resistance to antibiotics like ampicillin, ceftriaxone, and cotrimoxazole, and also to previously efficacious drugs like ciprofloxacin [5]. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance, especially the multidrug resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and cotrimoxazole, has further complicated the treatment and management of enteric fever [6]. The resistance to well-known and trusted antimicrobial agents is widely recognized as one of the greatest challenges that physicians face in the management of adult and pediatric infections [7].
Salmonella typhi, particularly the multidrug resistant (MDR) strain is relatively ubiquitous and is the cause of many community endemic and epidemic typhoid fever infections. MDR strain of S. typhi is of concern not only because of its resistance to available antibiotics resulting in high death rate but also because of its potential for epidemic outbreaks, which may be difficult to manage. The consequence of such outbreak will no doubt be devastating especially in developing countries where health facilities are often inadequate.
It has been opined that the initial development of resistance by S. typhi and most other bacterial pathogens occurred as a result of indiscriminate use of antibacterial drugs hence the need for caution in antibiotic prescription and administration. Determining the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of isolates is necessary since it will guide the physicians in making the right choice of drugs when treating patients thus ensuring quick treatment of the infection without aggravating the illness and preventing antibiotic resistance.
This study investigated the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Salmonella typhi isolated from patients in Minna.
The study area is 31 Artillery Brigade Medical Centre, Minna, Niger State. The hospital is located in the Nigerian Army Cantonment situated at km 98, Suleja/Abuja road, Minna.
A total number of 100 suspected typhoid fever patients aged from 1–50 years were screened for S. typhi in this study. The subjects were all inhabitants of the Cantonment comprising of military personnel and civilians with a common source of drinking water. Subjects were enlisted based on informed consent.
Five milliliters of blood was collected from each subject by venupuncture for the detection of Salmonella typhi. The blood samples were collected over a period of 30 days. Ten (10) samples were collected on each visit to the hospital. Sample collection was done using sterile disposable syringes and blood bottles containing anticoagulant (EDTA). The samples were quickly transported to the Microbiology Laboratory of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, where the analysis was done.
Approximately 16g of the dehydrated Salmonella-Shigella Agar was dissolved in 250mL of distilled water in the preparation of the growth medium. This is in agreement with the manufacturer's directive. The mixture was brought to boil with frequent agitation until the agar has dissolved properly. It was then allowed to cool down to 50°C after which it was dispensed into petri dishes and allowed to gel.
Blood samples were inoculated into Salmonella-Shigella Agar (SSA) by streaking method after which the plates were incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. Isolates from the primary cultures were subcultured into fresh SSA medium to obtain pure isolates. Pure isolates were inoculated in nutrient agar slant and stored at 5°C for further characterization and identification.
Pure isolates obtained on nutrient agar were identified and characterized based on colonial morphology, cultural characteristics, Gram stain reaction, and biochemical tests.
Antibiotic sensitivity testing was done using Kirby-Bauer method on Mueller Hinton Agar. 3.8g of this agar was dispensed into a sterile conical flask. One hundred milliliter (100mL) of distilled water was poured into the flask and stirred to dissolve the agar. The mixture was autoclaved and then poured into petri dishes. On gelling, the negative antibiotic sensitivity disk was introduced using sterile forceps and then incubated for 24 hours at 37°C.
Out of the 100 samples investigated, 60 (60.0%) samples were positive for bacterial growth. The result of the characterization and identification of the isolates revealed that Salmonella typhi had the highest frequency of occurrence with 45 (75.0%) isolates followed in descending order by Shigella 6 (10.0%), E. coli 3 (5.0%), Klebsiella 3 (5.0%), Enterobacter 2 (3.3%), and Citrobacter 1 (1.7%), respectively (Table 1).
Out of the 45 samples that were positive for S. typhi. The highest frequency of occurrence was found between the ages of 1–10 years while 41–50 years had the least frequency of occurrence (Table 2).
The result of the in vitro antibiotic sensitivity test showed that isolates of S. typhi were generally resistant to ceftriaxone, cefuroxime, amoxicillin, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, and augmentin which are the drugs of choice routinely used in the study area for the treatment of typhoid fever. They were, however, sensitive to ofloxacin and chloramphenicol even though these two antibiotics are no longer used for the treatment of typhoid fever in the study area on account of adverse reactions (Table 3).
Enterobacter, Citrobacter, Escherichia, Klebsiella and Shigella were all resistant to the antibiotics except amoxicillin. Shigella is weakly sensitive to ampicillin and strongly sensitive to ciprofloxacin, both which are not active against S. typhi.
The result of this study revealed a prevalence rate of 45.0% for typhoid fever in the study area. This finding is similar to the 46.0% prevalence rate earlier reported [8] in Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Nepal, India, both of which agree with the position of the World Health Organization [9] that the vast majority of typhoid fever cases occur in Asia, Africa and Latin America where water borne diseases are highly prevalent because of inadequate supply of potable water to the public with concomitant poor environmental and personal hygiene.
The result also revealed a high prevalence of typhoid fever (44.4%) among children within the age group (1–10) years which is also in agreement with an earlier report of 43.9% prevalence rate [10] in Cebu City, India. It is reasoned that children form the most vulnerable group in environments where inadequate water supply and poor environmental hygiene are problems because of their high level of ignorance. They are usually quick to satisfy their thirst irrespective of the water source especially if the water is apparently clean and without color.
There was no significant difference in clinical presentation shown by the subjects as against what has been reported [11] in the editorial commentary of the February edition of Clinical Infectious Diseases from Uganda where intestinal perforation was observed among children aged between 1–5 years. In the study area, access to medical care is free which makes it easy for subjects to seek medical attention without the needless delay that often account for the pathologic damages seen in cases where access to healthcare services is constrained such as intestinal perforation.
High level of antibiotic resistance by isolates was observed to the routinely used antibiotics in the study area.this in agreement with the earlier report of a worldwide occurrence of multidrug resistance strains of S. typhi. This development as observed may be traceable to wrong and inaccurate diagnosis and abusive use of the available antibiotics resulting in the development and spread of multidrug resistant strains of S. typhi.
Malaria is endemic in Africa and the area under study is not an exception especially during wet season when the population of mosquito vectors increases as a result of stagnant waters and bushy surroundings. The isolation of nontyphoidal bacterial agents from suspected typhoid patients calls for a review of the present approach to the diagnosis of typhoid in the study area. Improper diagnosis leads to the misuse of antibiotics by physicians which in turn lead to the development of resistance by organisms.
The result of this study indicates that chloramphenicol and ofloxacin (which are no longer routinely used for the treatment of typhoid fever in the study area) have proved to be active against this isolates even though they were resistant to the commonly prescribed drugs. This observation that an organism that is previously resistant to a particular antibiotic may become susceptible if treatment with the antibiotic is suspended for a long time supporting what has been reported earlier [12] is interesting because of its obvious implication for public health management. However, more studies are recommended in this in this regard.
The result of this study has further accentuated the growing concern about the presence of and the spread of multidrug resistant S. typhi thereby underscoring the need for rational application of antibiotics and other necessary interventions that will help to control the menace of antibiotic resistance. Provision of potable water, accurate laboratory diagnosis, public education, and so forth, are, therefore, recommended. Surveillance programs to monitor antimicrobial resistance patterns in other parts of the state and the entire country in general are also recommended.

Live Show: Annie
Thereâs nothing more annoying than when hype isnât followed by substance. Annieâs debut CD, Anniemal is fantastic, filled with upbeat, uptempo disco beats, breathy vocals with poppy lyrics. When I interviewed her last week, I was taken with her sincerity, her sweet attitude and her excitement about her success and the current buzz surrounding her music.
But when I saw her last night in Chicago, I was fairly underwhelmed. But I have to say the lackluster show canât be blamed on Annie. The event was set in entirely the wrong venue.
Sonotheque is a long, thin scenester "club" that is not necessarily set up for a live performance -- especially for someone with as much indie cred as Annie. Because of the odd setup, she stayed behind the glass walls of the booth instead of hanging on a stage â or even a faux stage. And the sound system was too bass heavy and drowned out her vocals.
Midway through, things started to get better and Annie, ever the cutie-pie singer (who is honestly even more beautiful in person than she is in photos), held her own, told the crowd how excited she was to be in Chicago and kept on singing.

Description Edit
My fifth upload to youtube and the also the video with both the shortest length and incidentally the shortest time I spent editing a music video. So when I heard this song I immediately started thinking about how well it fits Klaus. How the carnivore inside of him, the anger and vampirism that his parents' actions cursed him with, have over the centuries changed him into a monster. I have mixed feelings about this video. There are a couple of parts, like the juxtaposition between young Rebekah and Klaus and older Rebekah and Klaus, that I really like but overall I do consider it a flawed creation. In part because I was kind of eager to put it out, so perhaps I will upload a longer and/or better version in the future. I am kind of proud of this video's thumbnail though, so there's that.
Regardless of my misgivings, I hope you all enjoy =).
Features footage from several episodes of The Vampire Diaries up to and including season 4, episode 20, The Originals. It also contains footage from all episodes of The Originals up to and including season 2 episode 6, The Wheel Inside the Wheel. I posted it in the video as well because not everyone reads the description up front.
The first song is (During the "messages"): "To Kill a Demon - Martin O'Donnell" The second one is: "Carnivore -- Starset"

February 5, 1986
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
By MICHIKO KAKUTANI
By Charles Johnson.
as sorcery a gift given to a few, like poetry?'' wonders Allan, the aspiring magician in the title story of Charles Johnson's new collection. ''Did the Lord come, lift you up, then drop you forever? If so, then he was finished, bottomed out, bellied up before he even began. He had not been born among the Allmuseri Tribe in Africa, like Rubin, if this was necessary for magic. He had not come to New Orleans in a slave clipper, or been sold at the Cabildo, if this was necessary. He had only, it seemed, a vast and painfully acquired yet hollow repertoire of tricks, and this meant he could be a parlor magician, which paid well enough, but he would never do good.''
In this story, as in the other tales in ''The Sorcerer's Apprentice,'' Mr. Johnson - a novelist and professor of English at the University of Washington - addresses both the Faustian dilemma of the knowledge-seeker and the more specific condition of the black artist in America, cut off from his cultural roots and suspended between worlds. Allan, for one, must suffer failure and humiliation first-hand before he realizes that rote study alone is insufficient to make him a master magician, and he must also accept the fact that he is as much the son of his father, a former slave, as he is the apprentice of Rubin, the old sorcerer who has taken him under his wing.
In ''Alethia,'' a black professor who has escaped from the slums of Chicago to the pristine hallways of academe realizes, in the wake of a disturbing talk with a brash young woman, that ''for all my hankering after Truth in the Academy, Truth had been hidden all along, waiting for my 'look' in the cold-water flats between Cottage Grove Avenue and the Rock Island right-of-way.'' And in ''Popper's Disease,'' a black physician finds that a close encounter with an extraterrestrial has made him aware of the ''primordial feeling of thrownness that every Negro experiences when hurled into a society that simultaneously supports and, I am saying, annihilates him, because he can find reflections of himself nowhere in it - like a falcon exiled, say, to the Lifeworld of fish, always off-balance, but finally embracing the alien in all its otherness, yet never sure if he's got it right.''
It is one of the achievements of these stories that, while concerned at heart with questions of prejudice and cultural assimilation, they are never parochial and only rarely didactic. Rather, Mr. Johnson has used his generous storytelling gifts and his easy familiarity with a variety of literary genres to conjure up eight moral fables that limn the fabulous even as they remain grounded in the language and social idioms of black American communities. The finest ones, in fact, become fables that implicitly mirror the quotation from Herman Melville that Mr. Johnson has chosen as an epigraph for this volume - they ''present another world, and yet one to which we feel the tie.''
In relating the meeting between a country doctor and the angst-ridden creature from outer space whom he's called upon to treat, ''Popper's Disease'' evolves from a fairly conventional exercise in sci-fi into a Kafkaesque exploration of identity. ''Menagerie, a Child's Fable,'' a parable about racism told from the point of view of a dog, borrows heavily from Orwell's ''Animal Farm'' -the story tells what happens when the animals in a pet store take over from its absent owner - and ''The Education of Mingo'' invokes Mary Shelley's ''Frankenstein'' to make its point about the dangers of liberalism and assimilation.
In ''The Education of Mingo,'' a farmer by the name of Moses Green buys a slave named Mingo, whom he attempts to educate. Moses teaches Mingo farming and table etiquette, he teaches him not ''to sop cornbread in his coffee; or pick his nose at public market.'' He teaches him how to think, how to talk and how to behave; and in no time at all, Mingo appears to have become ''his own spitting image'' - a development that makes Moses feel ''now like a father, now like an artist fingering something fine and noble from a rude chump of foreign clay.'' If Moses' intentions are entirely well-meaning, however, they're also paternalistic and patronizing, and in time they have serious - and violent - consequences that affect both him and Mingo.
With the exception of one direct allusion to ''Frankenstein'' that feels superfluous and strained, this story attests to Mr. Johnson's narrative finesse - his ability both to rework old legends, and to create a glowing alloy of the colloquial and the mythic, the naturalistic and the surreal. Though its action retains a powerful, symbolic resonance, the tale never gets that sticky, overworked quality that comes from an author trying to force his material into a predetermined mold; in this case, Mr. Johnson simply lets the overall Frankenstein legend gently inform the actions of his characters, without allowing it to dictate their fates or erase their own idiosyncracies and humor.
Unfortunately, in the weaker stories in this volume, Mr. Johnson's taste for parables - his desire to locate some sort of Aesop-like moral in each tale - tends to overwhelm his delicate conjurations of social detail and vernacular description. ''Exchange Value,'' for instance, entirely robs its characters - two aspiring hoods who end up adopting their would-be victim's peculiar habits -of their individuality, turning them into passive objects doomed to act out their creator's predictable design. And ''Moving Pictures'' moves even further in this unpromising direction - devoid of characters except for a faceless narrator who speaks in the second person, the story is little but a tired one-liner about escapism and the movies. The reader can only conclude that it was included in this otherwise accomplished collection as padding or a silly afterthought.

|xconf tool, entity resolver, and new build options
|Thu, 22 May 2003 04:01:19 GMT
Ok, I have a start on making the xconf tool respect <xmlcatalog> and therefore be able to xpatch web.xml (it works as is but fails with unknown host when trying to resolve the dtd at java.sun.com) Attached are some patches: - diff with the mods to XConfTool itself, and to blocks-build.xsl - a diff with a new drivers.xweb (goes in conf dir of the database block) - The web-app_2_2.dtd, which I just noticed is not a full file could that be the only problem?? (for now I had it in the root directory) Unfortunately, I'm still getting the unknown host execption during the xpatch process. Anyone have ideas? Also, we need an unless attribute in drivers.xweb (or each build adds the drivers in repeatedly) but I haven't quite figured out a working expression that works on the text nodes. It may not take much xpath wizardry, but I'm pretty tired and haven't been able to figure it out with my pea brain. Gnight, Geoff

Is 'Glasnost' a Game of Mirrors?
Published: March 22, 1987
(Page 2 of 2)
The real question is not how far the current ''thaw'' will go, but how long it will last. For unlike Hungary and Poland, the Soviet Union does not live in the shadow of a Big Brother that can come to the rescue, and, unlike China, it has a host of small brothers to look after.
What Westerners fail to understand is that if the Soviet leaders were really intent on radical change, they would have to begin by discarding the ruling ideology.
Ideology is that hard core of the Soviet system that does not allow the country to deviate too far for too long; unless the central ideological tenets were to be challenged, long-term Soviet strategy would remain imprisoned by its assumptions.
As long as there is no doctrinal possibility of peace with the ''class enemy,'' how can there be genuine peaceful co-existence with the ''bourgeois'' world? Nor is peaceful co-exisence inside the Soviet Union any more likely.
As long as the ''historic struggle of the two worlds'' rages, Soviet citizens cannot simply be left to pursue their private lives and aspirations: They are conscripts in a nationwide army of ideological warriors, pressed to view themselves not as ordinary members of the human family but as bearers of ''Socialist justice,'' ''Socialist culture,'' ''Socialist sport'' -and now even ''Socialist glasnost.''
For the West to take the new policies at face value is to deal with symptoms and ignore the disease. Meaningful change would require the Soviet leaders to reject the basic fallacies of Marxist-Leninist dogma, cease the one-sided ''historic struggle'' and allow the Soviet people to be ordinary humans for whom words like ''democracy,'' ''culture,'' ''justice'' and ''glasnost'' are permitted to mean what they mean to their ''bourgeois'' brothers.
Moreover, if the Kremlin sincerely wants to turn over a new historical leaf, it must stop exploiting the painful memories of World War II for propaganda, close down the vicious ''Military Patriotic Program'' obligatory in every school and prevent any further militarization of society. Most of all, it must tell the full historical truth about the crimes committed by the Soviet regime.
National reconciliation cannot be achieved by releasing a couple of hundred prisoners from jails, where they should not have been in the first place.
The Soviet Union is a gravely sick country, whose leaders have had to break with a 70-year tradition of silence merely to gain a little trust from both the Soviet population and the world outside.
It is they, however, who must learn to trust. They must give the people the right to administer justice in proper courts, and they must learn to have enough respect for public opinion not to engage in their customary tactics of disinformation and manipulation.
Even a fool can see by now that if 70 years of doctrine have brought to ruin one of the richest countries on earth, the doctrine must be faulty. Mr. Gorbachev admits that no one in all those years succeeded in putting the country right. Perhaps, then, the time has come to reject the system itself. Was it not Lenin who said that only practice can ultimately judge theory?
As for the West, is it not an embarrassment for people to be in such a hurry to applaud the Soviet Union for promising conditions that they themselves would not tolerate for one moment?

Can anyone give me a rundown of alcohol prices on a Carnival Cruise? I am a first timer and want to make sure I plan ahead so I don't have a heart attack at the end!!
Hello ej3209, and Welcome to Cruise-Chat!
Click here for a Bar Menu that Dave posted last year. I think the prices are still current.
They also have buckets of beer (4) at a slightly lower price per beer. They have a morning Bloody Mary and Mimosa special from 9-11AM. I think it is still $3.95, a little early for me, but what the heck I was on vacation. http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...icon_smile.gif
The prices do not include an automatic 15% gratuity.
Welcome aboard,
Dwayne gave you the ultimate in drink price prep guide. So I won't go into those details, but here are a couple of tips on drinking-
If you are a beer drinker, go for the Lidp deck and get the bucket. Worst case you don't drink them all and you take the unopended bottles back to the cabin and ask the steward to clear a space in your mini fridge for them (be sure to do that or they will charge you for drinks from the mini fridge even if you didn't take them. In fact you can ASK the steward to clear it out at the beginning of the cruise and then you can use it as needed. Not all stewards will do this, but you can ask (and a little extra tipping helps here too)
The other tip is DON'T get the drinks in the souvenir "glass". Its really a plastic cup (they used to be nice glasses, but I haven't seen those in years.). You spend an extra $2 per drink and have all these plastic glasses that you wind up throwing out because you can't pack them or end up using cabinet space back home. Any drink that they have in a souvenir glass they can make in a standard glass and it will be less expensive. If you are not sure, ask the waiter about the prices.
And third and last tip- 15% gratuity is added onto each drink order. It will be on your receipt. The receipt will have a line on it for "tip" like a charge card restaurant receipt.
Unless you intend on giving an EXTRA tip, don't put anything on that line (or 0 it out) as that 15% is already in the price. That goes for all the places you order drinks from on the ship.
You will have a bar waiter assigned to your dinning room table. Sometimes these guys are really good and I will give them an extra tip because they go out of there way for us -knowing that I always want a particular drink for dinner and having it waiting or making special drinks that are not on the menu (the wife likes a drink called "Kiss on the Lips" that was a CCL drink special once and they don't always have it.) Or they will just provide extra good service... Then I give them a little extra tip, but most of the time the drink waiters are are just getting a drink for you...
The buckets are a good deal, and for a more vital reason than just being a couple bucks cheaper than if you bought four separate beers. They are the coldest beer you will find on the ship! The bartenders will replenish your ice if you ask. I've brought them back to the cabin and left them sitting on the deck, come back later and discovered that my attendant had dumped out the water and added fresh ice.
One thing to note is that if you order bottled beer from a bar by the pool they will not allow you to leave the bar with the bottle. In those situations they have to pour the beer into cups and put them in the bucket. Not a good scenario. This disappoints Corona drinkers.
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to double check on something. Last year I was on the Miracle and I bought one of the drinks with the plastic souvenier cup. The waitress told us if we re-use the cup, it gets filled at the same price as a regular size drink. So that's what we did a couple of times--- however, I don't know if any extra alcohol gets put in there, just mix. Is this still the case or has this changed?
Kiss on the Lips....yum! I can taste it now. Fabulous!!!!!
Hi IslandCruz,
Not sure about the ounce size of the glasses, but just by looks, I would say the souvenier cup is about 1 1/2 to 2 times the size of a regular size glass. I don't think Carnival is "stingy" on the alcohol, I just am not sure if they double the alcohol when they fill the larger glass for the same price as the smaller glass, which I guess doesn't really matter, as long as the flavour of the drink remains the same. http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo.../icon_cool.gif
We pre-buy our drink tickets before the cruise that way I can buy a packet every pay day. That sounds awful doesn't it. Go to www.carnival.com & at the top chose Gifts then chose Most Popular Items from the left drop down menu. On the second page you will find Bar Credit coupons. They are 4 for 21.25 in a pack. You can ask for these to be delievered to your room on the first night.
here is a funny part. wait until the ship leaves port. you pay one less tax . LOL
|All times are GMT -7. The time now is 03:52 AM.

How Much Should I Spend for a Radar Detector?
The true cost of protection from radar, lasers and other threats
by Radartest Staff
Speed cameras like this Redflex unit in Mesa, Arizona increase rear-end collisions while failing to lower speeds or alter driver behavior.
We frequently get questions from people seeking the best radar detector. For example, recently a man from California called to ask about the best radar detector for use by him and wife. From his Zip code we know that his town has Redflex red light cameras and that the local California Highway Patrol cruisers pack Stalker radar. Also, the nearby City of Poway a few months back had received a Dept. of Justice grant for Stalker MDR radar and LTI UltraLyte LR 200 lasers.
We suggested a GPS-enabled model, the Escort Passport Max 360, the most effective technology when facing this smorgasbord of enforcement threats. There was a pause when the subject of price arose. "Nothing cheaper, huh?" he asked.
Sure there are a few less expensive models, we told him, but they're not nearly as good: they false-alarm constantly, their camera databases are years out of date and most failed to warn of many of the cameras when we ran an 18-month test to check these for accuracy. He could save some bucks but he'd still be at risk—meanwhile the detector would drive him nuts with false alarms. Was it worth it?
Turns out it may not be: both he and his wife had recently been nailed by local red light cameras. The upfront cost: $816 in fines. (He hadn't yet totaled the insurance surcharges but expects to shell out another grand over the next three years as a result.)
And he was concerned about the extra couple of hundred bucks for the best GPS-enabled radar detector? It's the same story everywhere. There is more radar, laser and photo enforcement today than ever before and it's being used to cast a huge net over American drivers. Only the smartest of the bunch will avoid becoming ensnared—and most of them will be packing a high-end detector. It can't be done on the cheap: reliable protection costs some bucks.
When you're up against the latest radar, that $75 detector won't make a peep if you cruise past a photo radar van. And if the trooper is using his radar in instant-on mode, as is typical, don't expect advance warning. When the detector alerts, the game is already over.
How much protection do you need? All you can afford; it's that simple. Figure on at least three C-notes for a good windshield-mount model like the Escort Passport and more for a GPS-enabled model like the Escort Passport Max2. For the budget-minded there are a few under-$250 models that offer adequate protection.

Please Help With Ganache Under Fondant!!
Decorating By mija10417 Updated 21 Jun 2009 , 1:19am by mija10417
Sorry to start a new post for this but I was afraid it'd get lost in the ganache forum and I need help this morning for a cake.
I made my ganache last night and let it sit. When I woke this morning, it was spreadable (just like peanut butter). My problem is, there's a bunch of lumps, almost grainy and I don't know how to get rid of them.
Am I still going to be able to use this or should I give up now and make a batch of buttercream??
Did you try putting it in the microwave for few seconds and see if the lumps desolves?
If not, make some buttercream and add the ganache to the buttercream. It is tasty as well as its really good under fondant too!
a little heat will get rid of those bumps. if the ganache is then too thin to spread, let it firm up a tad in room or fridge then use it.
Thanks for the advice! I zapped it in the microwave and it worked like a charm!

For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Ft. Hood's implications for gun rights.
Last week's shootings, which killed 13 people and wounded more than 30, demonstrated once again the folly of "gun-free zones," which attract and assist people bent on mass murder instead of deterring them.
Judging from the comments of those who support this policy of victim disarmament, Smith's desire for a gun was irrational. According to Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, "This latest tragedy, at a heavily fortified army base, ought to convince more Americans to reject the argument that the solution to gun violence is to arm more people with more guns in more places."
Note how the reference to "a heavily fortified army base" obscures the crucial point that the people attacked by Hasan were unarmed as a matter of policy. Also note the breathtaking inanity of Helmke's assurance that "more guns" are not "the solution to gun violence." In this case, they assuredly were.
Where guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Seems pretty straightforward, no?

We haven't met too many people who place Kyiv (Ukrainian pronunciation) or Kiev (Russian pronunciation and what most visitors refer to it as), Ukraine at the top of their travel wish list. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that I grew up in the city (although many years back, 1986-2000 to be precise) and that I still have a lot of family living in the city, I'm not really sure that we would've made our way to Kiev either. But we are so glad that we did!
Kiev has always played an important cultural role not only as a capital of Ukraine but for all of Eastern Europe. But many decades under the Soviet government rule left a significant mark on the architectural and cultural condition of the city. Combine that with news of unrest and political instability that not so long ago was blanketing the newspapers all over the world and you may be left with a feeling of doubt when it comes to a trip to Kiev.
Let us take a minute to debunk the myths:
- Kiev is safe: potentially safer now than before the tragic events in February of 2014 with the increased number of police patrolling the streets 24/7.
- Kiev is easy to navigate: Thanks to the UEFA Euro Cup which took place in Kiev in 2012, signs with English translation or at the very minimum Latin transliterations are present in the metro and at most sights and attractions in the city centre
- Kiev is tourist-friendly: While you won't find too many older citizens able to converse with you in English, the younger generation, and certainly lots of those working in the service/hospitality industry will have some knowledge of English to be able to assist you when needed.
Kiev is an awesome destination for budget travelers looking to get off the beaten path and explore a destination that isn't teeming with tourists (yet!). It's cheap, it's beautiful, it's fascinating, it's rich in culture, and is a great place for those looking for a crazy party!
Not a ton of travelers make it to Kiev, but those that do, really love it!
Best Time to Visit Kiev
As with many other Eastern European capitals, the best time to visit Kiev is in the summer, when the sun is shining, the locals are on holidays, and the entire city seems to come alive with activities and entertainment.
But avoid visiting Kiev in July and August, as according to the Best Time To Go website, those two months see the most rainfall compared to the rest of the year.
Shoulder season, April and September, are great alternatives. The temperatures hover around 20C, offering very pleasant conditions for walking around the city.
Top Things to Do in Kiev
Kiev's main attractions are primarily those of architectural and historical significance. Kiev Pechersk Lavra, Saint Sophia's Cathedral, St Andrew's Church, St Volodymyr's Cathedral, and St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery are just a few of many cathedrals and churches you can admire in Kiev. Each one is beautiful in their own way and, if time permits, deserves a visit. This list of Kiev's Churches & Cathedrals on Best of Ukraine, can serve as a great guide. The website provides a brief description of Kiev's main churches and plots each one of them on the map, making it possible for you to go on your own tour of Kiev's Churches.
One of our favourite things to do in Kiev, was exploring Andriyivsky Uzviz (Andriyivsky Descent), also known as Kiev's Montmartre. This is one of the oldest and most beautiful places in the city. The street is lined with art and craft vendors, vintage stalls, quaint shops and small bars/restaurants. It's super touristy (you won't find too many locals there), but it's a great place to pick up some souvenirs and admire local artists in action.
From there, we recommend that you head to the heart of the city, the famous Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti), located on Khreshchatyk Street. Maidan is a regular site for events, festivals and celebrations, however it has over the years served as the heart of the political demonstrations, like the Orange Revolution back in 2004 and the more recent Euromaidan protests that led to the 2014 Ukrainian revolution.
The next attraction that we recommend you visit, is the Rodina Mat (Mother of the Fatherland), a giant 62 meter / 203 ft statue that towers over the Kiev. In his article about Kiev, Johnny from One Step 4Ward, says that the 62m metallic Rodina Mat will blow your mind. Although, its impressiveness is somewhat lost on me (The apartment where I grew up in Kiev offered unobstructed views of the statue)
If museums are your thing, there are over 60 to check out in Kiev. National Art Museum of Ukraine, Ukrainian Museum of Historical Treasures and the Ukrainian State of Aviation Museum are the most significant ones, but you can follow this guide to Kiev's museums for a larger list of the museums worth visiting.
Need a few more suggestions? Check out Virtual Tourist's list of Top Things To Do in Kiev or the HostelBooker's guide to 10 Really Cheap Things to do in Kiev.
Where to Stay in Kiev
When it comes to finding accommodation in Kiev, we suggest basing yourself as close to the city centre (i.e. Khreshchatyk Street) as possible. This area is known as Shevchenkivskyi district. This will allow you to have easy access to the major sights in Kiev, and a variety of afés, bars, restaurants, and shops. Area to Stay also suggests Pechersk as good districts to consider for your stay.
You can find accommodation in the city centre for as little as $5-10/night in a hostel or $15/20 a night in a hotel. But don't be surprised to find some steeply priced accommodation in this part of the city as well. Luxury hotels targeting well-off business travelers are all the rave in Kiev these days.
Airbnb is starting to gain popularity in Kiev and offers a great alternative for budget travelers. You can find over 300 accommodation options to choose from all conveniently located right in the heart of the city. There is everything from a lovely basic apartment for as little as $30 to a luxurious New York style glamour studio for as little as $100/night.

Where to Eat & Drink in Kiev
Ukrainian cuisine is pretty darn delicious, so don't forget to eat your heart out while in Kiev. When it came to eating out in Kiev during our visit, we always followed local's advice. Start with this list of Top 10 Restaurants in Kiev as Recommended by Locals and the Culture Trip's The 10 Best Restaurants in Kiev, but don't be afraid to explore beyond.
If you ask the locals where to eat on a budget, many of them will mention Puzata Hata (literally translated as Chubby Home), the largest chain of colorful Ukrainian cuisine restaurants found in Kiev and in Ukraine's other major cities. Some will tell you it's great food, others will say that it depends on location. There are 9 restaurants across the city, so there is bound to be one in close proximity to your hotel. It's a bit of an institution in Kiev at the moment, so try it and judge for yourself.
Eating out in Kiev is incredibly cheap. A meal at a mid-tier restaurant like Puzata Hata might cost you $2-3/person. And even if you choose to dine at the most highly rated establishments, your meal will most likely only set you back by $20.
When night falls, there are no shortage of places to carry on night-time entertainment. Drinks are cheap, the crowd is hip and modern and not to mention very beautiful! To quote the author of the Culture Trip's article The 10 Best Bars in Kiev, "…as a huge city with a young population, it is rife with trendy bars, from art-centric locales to high-end cocktail lounges…". And it's absolutely true. If there is one city in Ukraine that knows how to party – it's Kiev. You'll find everything from Asian-style glitz and glamour bar like "Buddha Bar", to Russian army military bunker-themed dive bar "The Bunker". Kiev4Tourists has the full list.
How Much Time Do You Need in Kiev
You don't need to spend a long time in Kiev to see a lot of its major sights and get a taste for the Ukrainian culture. In our opinion, Kiev is a perfect city to visit for a long weekend, because 3-4 days here is really all you need.

Hiccup, Hiccup
Man oh man oh man oh man.
In case you're a little confused, I have never actually played in a major golf championship, but I can tell you from the television feed that the pressure has to be off the Richter Scale.
As I tried to stay awake during the early points of this round, Sergio Garcia looked to be comfortable as Steve Stricker was missing makeable birdie putts by the hundreds.
Now, it is Garcia at plus-two for the day, just one shot ahead of Stricker and having a ton of Carnoustie left with Richard Green already posting five-under for the tournament.
Green bogeyed the 18th hole to shoot 64 on Sunday, while Hunter Mahan shot a 65.
Low scores are out there, it just doesn't seem that a ton of the afternoon group is going really red. If Ernie Els can continue to par along, he might just find himself with another Claret Jug.
Poor, poor Tiger. The leaders are doing just what he needed, yet he just can't get anything going. For the first time this week, Carnoustie is showing it's teeth, making this a very watchable next three hours.
Stayed tuned, and let me know in comments who you think is going to take home the trophy.

Six Meals a Day Menu to Lose Stomach Fat Six Meals a Day Menu to Lose Stomach Fat Last Updated: Nov 01, 2015 | By Danielle DeSimone Danielle DeSimone Danielle DeSimone is a writer and sports nutritionist living in Point Pleasant, N.J.

As a freelance writer, DeSimone enjoys covering health, fitness and nutrition.
Yes, it requires will power, and yes, it requires some exercise, but it can work, particularly if you run a modest daily caloric deficit (250 to 500 calories per day) and take the weight off slowly. If, on the other hand, your metabolism is low, you might decide to meet with a doctor to find out why, and to learn what to do next. Your metabolism would be considered low enough to act on if it is six percent or lower than the equation predicts.
High-fiber fruits and vegetables that require lots of chewing stimulate saliva with antimicrobials to also reduce bacteria in the mouth. Harvard researchers have also found that fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids may reduce rates of gum disease due to reduced inflammation. Fewer wrinkles. Foods with high water content, such as fruits and vegetables, moisturize the skin and keep you hydrated. They also contain antioxidants to protect against cell damage for younger-looking skin.

This is 10 times the range mentioned above that would be deemed safe (based on an estimate of sennoside content for Chinese senna leaf at 1%). About half the people who showed these symptoms of regular senna ingestion had lost weight, indicating the potential modest success rate for long-term overdose of laxatives in a weight loss regimen. Cases of rare hepatic inflammation possibly induced by anthraquinone derivatives have been reported (28, 29, 30, 31) and may be dose related.
And that is one of the great things about tea – if you don't enjoy it as a beverage (or if you only drink it on occasion), you can still get the health benefits by consuming it in supplemental extract form. How Else Might Green Tea Benefit Your Health? Your brain is only one part of your body that might benefit from green tea, which is recognized as an abundant source of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a catechin polyphenol, and other antioxidants.

How tall, what age ? Coeliac fits well with Atkins as we don't eat wheat anyway, although some "low carb" products use vital wheat gluten as a protein source or are made in factories also processing gluten, so don't assume low carb = gluten free (I guess you knew that, but the Atkins bars fall into this category).
Find activities your child likes to do. For instance, if your child is artistically inclined, go on a nature hike to collect leaves and rocks that your child can use to make a collage. If your child likes to climb, head for the nearest neighborhood jungle gym or climbing wall. If your child likes to read, then walk or bike to the neighborhood library for a book. Medications In some situations, medication may be prescribed for adolescents as part of an overall weight loss plan.

The amazing thing about GCB Ultra is it works exactly the way the industry professionals recommend without dieting and exercising. The Way Green Coffee Bean Ultra Works When there is a surge of sugar released into the blood, the pancreas releases insulin to counteract the problem. The insulin turns the blood sugar into stored body fat. By holding fat reserves that aren't actually needed, we gain weight.
I improved my health by drinking LESS water As someone who has always had extremely low blood pressure (something our medical world doesn't pay much attention to because there's no drug for it), chronic insomnia, frequent night pees, and a water fetish… I started putting the puzzle pieces together. I was definitely drinking too much water. And it's been a gradual process to find what works for my body.
So essentially you just need to plan to stay home one night and one morning. That's it! Image by simply…gluten-free I have stuck with this cleanse because it is one of the few cleanses where I have actually seen results. It is not the most pleasant cleanse in the world, but its certainly not that difficult either. Depending on your health status you might have to spend up to three months preparing for it using some liver and gallbladder nutrients, but if you have already been on a program or engaging in a healthy lifestyle, you might only need a month to prepare.
Menu How to Use Turmeric for Weight Loss Whether you're on a strict low-carb diet or if you're following an intense workout regimen, losing weight can be a real challenge. Now it's perfectly doable, and highly recommended, to get rid of excess fat by eating healthy and exercising regularly. There really is no way around the fact that you need to burn more calories than you consume . But there are ways to make it a little bit easier!
Was in expensive? Was it easy for you to follow? Tell me what you think! Thanks Guest Don't Do It! I'm looking up Herbal magic forums on the web and telling everyone -DO NOT get sucked into this - it's expensive, it's crap, and you won't lose much weight! The eating program itself is OK, but you are expected (pressured) to buy expensive pills every week. ($54 each time) plus a $30 monthly for chromium pills (which cost 5 bucks at the drugstore) And believe me, when you say you can't afford to buy them, the franchise owner will not be happy with you, and expect to get an uncomfortable vibe from them each time you go for your weigh in (3 times a week).
'Extreme Weight Loss Star' Dies At 52, Two… 'Extreme Weight Loss Star' Dies At 52, Two Years After Losing 180 Pounds On ABC Show Mon, March 14, 2016 10:48pm EDT by Emy LaCroix 1 Comment Courtesy of Instagram What a tragedy! Rod Durham, who inspired millions during his stint on ABC reality show 'Extreme Weight Loss', died on Mar. 13. The contestant was only 52 years old, and appeared on the show just two years ago.
It is feasible that the catecholamines generated by HIIE (Figure 1 ) could influence postexercise fat metabolism. Increased fat oxidation after HIIE may also occur as a result of the need to remove lactate and H+ and to resynthesize glycogen. The elevated GH levels documented after a bout of HIIE [ 25 ] may also contribute to increased energy expenditure and fat oxidation. It is also feasible that HIIE may result in suppressed appetite.
We were unable to find any scientific support for the idea that vegan or raw diets were healthier than alternatives. When research does not support claims, we find issue with the plan. The Bottom Line – Does The Thrive Diet Work? Digging deep is always fun at Dietspotlight, so what's the verdict? We were intrigued by the Thrive Diet. Athletes seem to like the plan, there are plenty of recipes and the book is affordable, but we don't feel comfortable recommending it because the food restriction may be too tough for some dieters and the author is not educated in nutrition.
Acute onset may indicate infection or stroke. Subacute onset may implicate drugs, electrolytes, or inflammatory or rheumatologic disease. Chronic progressive weakness is the classic presentation in genetic and metabolic myopathies. Despite these generalizations, there is considerable variation in the time courses of different classes of myopathy, and even within the individual disorders. For instance, although typically subacute, myasthenia gravis may present with rapid, generalized weakness or remain confined to a single muscle group for years (as in ocular myasthenia).

You Have to See LeBron James' Buzzer Beater
If you're not already, now is a good time to start watching the NBA playoffs.
LeBron James had 25 points in last night's Cavs-Bulls game, including a buzzer beater from the corner with 1.5 seconds left to win the whole damn game. James' jumper is as smooth and effortless as anything you've seen him hit during warm-ups; it's as if Jimmy Butler wasn't even there. The series is now tied at 2-2, with Game 5 tomorrow in Cleveland. Oh, and for what it's worth: James has now tied Michael Jordan's record for game-winning buzzer beaters in the playoffs. Speaking of MJ, "The Shot" turned 25 last week.

Laura Dilon shares a brief guide on saving some bucks by avoiding hidden loan charges.
If you're in the market for a new house, a new car or even just a personal loan, it's important that you be aware of the hidden charges that many of these loans contain. While some lenders will explain these charges in detail, others will avoid discussing them altogether, hoping that you don't notice them before you sign your loan agreement. If you'll be shopping for a new loan in the near future, here are the hidden charges that you need to be aware of:
1. Mortgage Loans
Before you sign the documents that will put you into your new home, look at the fine print with a careful eye. Closing costs, origination fees, points, prepayment penalties and even payment protection insurance can all be buried on the last pages of your loan documents. While some of these charges can't be avoided, you may be able to negotiate with your lender to remove them or have some costs lowered. Most lenders will be more than happy to explain these charges to you, but many will not do so unless you ask.
2. Vehicle Loans
Just like buying a house, purchasing a new vehicle must be done with your eyes wide open. Forget the heady rush that you feel looking at that shiny new car and get down to the business of scouring your finance offer. Hidden charges may include an extended warranty, car alarm, pain sealant, credit life insurance and even GAP insurance. Before you sign your loan documents, tell your salesperson that you want to see a disclosure using the menu system. This report will clearly list the negotiated price of the new car and the prices of extras that have been added. Paying for these add-ons is not required to secure your loan so if you don't need them, ask for them to be removed from the deal.
3. Personal Loans
While personal loans are fairly straight-forward, especially when they don't involve the borrower putting up collateral, there are still fees that you need to be aware of. You may end up paying back more money that you think if your lender has hidden an adjustable interest rate, PPI or prepayment penalties in the fine print of your loan agreement. When looking over your loan documents, make sure that every line is filled in. Blank lines are an invitation for unscrupulous lenders who will fill in the numbers after you've left the office.
4. Payday Loans
Just like personal loans, payday loans don't come without their pitfalls. Make sure that you understand exactly how much you will be paying back over the brief lifetime of your loan. People tend to get in trouble with payday loans when they extend their repayment several times. Instead of paying back your loan plus interest, your lender will allow you to make an interest-only payment, usually no more than five times. Before you take advantage of these extensions, you should be aware of just how much you will really end up paying back.
5. Student Loans
Student loans come with disclosure statements that are fairly straightforward. The problem with student loans is that students typically don't know how much they've borrowed in total and don't understand how much interest they will be paying. Students are also frighteningly unaware of how much deferring their loans will cost them. If you've recently graduated from college, do whatever it takes to start paying your loans when they come due.
No one is going to hold your hand during the loan process; it's up to you to read the fine print and make sure that you aren't be charged for unnecessary items. If you're in the market for a loan, make sure that you read the fine print and question the things that you don't understand. If you qualify for a loan with one company, you can always qualify with another who may treat you more fairly.

K-State Wins Offensive Shootout with Purdue, 88-79
K-State Wins Offensive Shootout with Purdue, 88-79
MAUI, Hawai'i – Sophomore Marcus Foster paced four Wildcats in double figures with a game-high 24 points, as Kansas State opened the Championship Round of the EA Sports Maui Invitational with an 88-79 win over Purdue before a sold-out crowd of 2,400 at Lahaina Civic Center on Monday.
With the win, K-State (3-1, 0-0 Big 12) advances to the semifinal round on Tuesday against No. 2 Arizona (3-0, 0-0 Pac-12) at 6:30 p.m. CT on ESPN. The Wildcats were a 72-53 winner over Missouri in the second game.
Final Score: Kansas State 88, Purdue 79
Records: Kansas State (3-1, 0-0 Big 12); Purdue (3-1, 0-0 Big Ten)
Attendance: 2,400 (sold out)
Next Game: Tuesday, Nov. 25 \\ vs. Arizona at EA Sports Maui Invitational \\ 6:30 p.m. CT \\ ESPN
The Short Story
• Kansas State connected on 53.3 percent (32-of-60) from the field, including 63 percent (17-of-27) in the second half, to rebound from Friday's 69-60 loss at Long Beach State.
• Both teams shot better than 50 percent from the field in the game, as Purdue actually connected on a higher field goal percentage (54.9 percent/28-of-51) than K-State.
• The two teams combined for 104 points in the second half and both shot better than 60 percent.
• The Wildcats have now scored 80 or more points in three of their first four games for the first time since 2009-10. The team is now connecting on nearly 50 percent (49.8) from the field this season.
• Foster tallied his ninth career 20-point contest, including his first in 2014-15, with a game-high 24 points to pace four players in double figures. It marked his 30th career double-digit scoring game, including his third this season, while he has now led the team in scoring 18 times in his career.
• Junior Stephen Hurt (11), sophomore Wesley Iwundu (10) and senior Nino Williams (10) also scored in double figures, as nine players contributed at least one point in the victory.
• Hurt tied his season-high with 11 points, while Williams had double figures for the second straight game.
• Iwundu had a solid all-around game with 10 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in 29 minutes.
• K-State scored 22 points off of 13 Purdue turnovers, marking the third time this season that the Wildcats have tallied 20 or more points off of opponent miscues.
How It Happened | First Half
• The two teams battled back in forth in the early going before a Williams' layup ignited a 6-0 run to give K-State a 19-13 edge at the 11:17 mark.
• Purdue closed to within 21-19 on a 3-pointer by Basil Smotherman, but Foster quickly pushed the Wildcats' lead back out to 28-20 with a jumper and 3-point field goal with 6:50 to play.
• Hurt pushed the advantage to double figures (32-22) with a pair of free throws at the 4:00 mark, as the Wildcats finished the half scoring 11 of the last 13 points.
• K-State led 39-24 at halftime, which was the largest of the season and the first since the season opener with Southern Utah on Nov. 14.
• The Wildcats out-scored Boilermakers, 16-8, in the paint and converted 11 turnovers into a 17-5 edge in points off of turnovers in the first half. The team also held a 22-12 edge in rebounds.
• Foster led all scorers in the first half with 11 points.
How It Happened | Second Half
• K-State started the second half like it ended the first, scoring 12 of the first 19 points to push the lead to 51-31 with 17:07 to play on a tip-in by Hurt.
• The Wildcats maintained a double-digit advantage for most of the early part of the second half before the Boilermakers used a 22-10 run to cut it to single digits at 61-53 at 10:35 mark.
• After K-State pushed the lead to 66-53 on a quick 5-0 spurt, Purdue scored 17 of the next 26 points to close the gap to 75-70 on a 3-pointer by Kendall Stephens with 3:24 to play.
• K-State responded with five quick points, including a jumper by senior Thomas Gipson and huge 3-pointer by Foster, to push the lead back to 80-70 with 2:02 left in the contest.
• The Wildcats were able to end the game at the free throw line, converting 8 of its last 12 attempts.
Beyond the Boxscore
• With the win, K-State is now 93-22 in non-conference play since 2006-07… The Wildcats are now 24-6 in non-conference play, including 5-3 in-season tournament play, under head coach Bruce Weber.
• K-State evened its all-time record to 3-3 in the Maui Invitational and captured its first win in the tournament since an 84-80 overtime victory over Arizona State on Nov. 24, 1998… It was the first win in the opening game of the tournament since a 68-56 win over Chaminade on Nov. 22, 1985.
• The Wildcats have now won four consecutive games in the state of Hawai'i.
• Head coach Bruce Weber earned his 50th win at Kansas State, as he became the third-fastest coach (72 games) in school history to reach the milestone… Only head coaches Zora Clevenger (50-9, 1916-20) and Lon Kruger (50-21, 1986-90) did it in less games in school history.
• K-State has now won three in a row against Purdue dating back to 1988 and now leads the all-time series, 7-2, including 2-1 in neutral site contests… It was the first meeting between the schools since they opened Bramlage Coliseum on Nov. 26, 1988 (an 81-77 K-State win).
• Head coach Bruce Weber snapped a personal 7-game losing streak to Purdue and earned his first win over the Boilermakers since a 66-48 victory while at Illinois on Feb. 8, 2009… Weber served 18 seasons (1980-98) as an assistant coach to Hall of Fame head coach Gene Keady at Purdue before starting his head coaching career… He is now 8-11 vs. Purdue in his head coaching career.
• K-State used a different starting lineup for the first time this season, as Iwundu and Williams joined Foster, Jevon Thomas and Thomas Gipson in the starting five.
• "Well, it was a good hard-fought win for us. I thought when you make shots, we didn't make shots last Friday at Long Beach State. When you make shots you look better as a team, there is no doubt about that. Marcus (Foster) jumped up and made some big shots. When they made a run at us, Marcus' three, Thomas Gipson's back-to-back in the paint, scored buckets. I thought the game was dictated right from the beginning we had a great sense of urgency. We guarded the heck out of him, our Wayne McClain play hard chart. We were 36-18. We had doubled them at halftime. Loose balls diving on the floor. Marcus still on the floor, gets the timeout. Just all those little things that we kind of set for the game." said head coach Bruce Weber.
Up Next
• K-State will now play Arizona for the 14th time on the hardwood, as the two sets of Wildcats will face off against each other for the first time since 1999. The semifinal match-up will tip off at 6:30 p.m. CT on ESPN with Sean McDonough (play-by-play) and Fran Fraschilla (analyst) on the call. K-State owns an 8-5 advantage in the series, which dates to 1951, but Arizona has won the last two meetings.
