I hardly feel like starting this thing again after the break I just had but duty calls. The Raptors-related action during the past two weeks can be summed up in one sentence: Calderon injures himself but its not too bad at all. That and the Redeem Team winning the Gold over against a depleted Spanish contingent. The Michael Phelps was something else too, watching him win every race by three yards was almost funny. He had taken off his goggles and was giving interviews by the time the Silver medalist showed up – haha indeed.
A little about my trip: I went to Kashmir, a land of unmatched sheer natural beauty. There was a lot of turmoil over there. Basically a big chunk of land was given away to the Hindu pilgrims who visit a picturesque mountanious region each year so that they could setup things like tents, toilets etc. The Kashmiris objected to this and felt that the status-quo was just fine (use the land all you want but you don't get to own it). Protests happened, police open fired on civilians killing around 40 and soon the issue wasn't about land but instead freedom from India. The early 90's revolution was re-ignited making for quite a scene and some very intense nationalism. I visited a bunch of nice places, valleys, gardens, boats, houseboats and of course, family. All was good.
Let's get to some Raptors talk. As expected there hasn't even been a whisper from the Raptors organization since they signed Willie Solomon on July 28th. Bryan Colangelo at the time admitted that the signing was the last one of the summer and that the roster for all intents and purposes had been set. After that we debated how the East had improved and analyzed the Raptors only major offseason move – the O'Neal trade – to death until there was nothing left to talk about except wait for training camp to start and set a firing date for Sam Mitchell. That's where we stand now.
The schedule came out a little while ago and it doesn't look terrible: We start the season with 5 out of 7 on the road but later in the month we get four straight at home which brings the road/home tally to 8/8. A good chance to get off to a decent start. The first West coast swing is a 6-gamer and comes in December, matchups include San Antonio, Portland and Golden State. If the club is reeling after this one this might be the time Mitchell gets the axe. The great part about our schedule is that there is no lengthy second West coast swing. We always seem to get killed in the second one (remember 0-5 last year) and the schedule-maker has spared us this potential misery. Sure, we have one 3-game trip out west where we play Minny, Memphis and NO but that's much more manageable than the 5-game crusher that killed our chances of finishing with home-court advantage last year.
We get to see the c***y Celtics twice in November and a sweep here could do wonders for team morale and confidence. Last year we went 0-2 here which hurt the team psychologically as well as in the standings. We play Indiana four times and the TJ Ford return is set for December 10th, almost exactly one year after his injury. We got Philly, Milwaukee and GS (home) to start the season and if this team has any real bite, we should at least go 2-1 if not 3-0.
Jose's been blogging about the olympics in typical Jose-style. I swear, someone could burn his house, cut off his left arm and he still wouldn't be too upset. The fact that he mentioned the referees in his latest post does indicate what he actually thinks of them. I'm sure the Olympic loss is hurting him and here's hoping he channels the motivation that comes from failure into the next NBA season and proves he's worth the money we're paying him.
Not much else. There's the Dance Pak auditions. There's some good but annoying poontang.

Miley Cyrus Renames Her Pigby Hilton Hater at . Comments
BREAKING NEWS, celebrity gossip fans and pet lovers:
Miley Cyrus has renamed her pig.
About a month ago, Miley introduced Bubba Sue as a new member of her very large animal family.
And while the little guy remains there, the singer took to Instagram yesterday and updated followers on an important name change.
"Can't handle the kiewness (ps bubba sue is now legally changed her name to PIG (aka pig pig)," Cyrus wrote as a caption for the above photo.
Miley, of course, is one of the biggest animal fans in Hollywood.
She tragically lost her dog, Floyd, earlier this year after he was attacked by a coyote and mourned him for weeks in public, even singing to a statue of Floyd's likeness on tour.
But we're glad to see Cyrus is now doing better and spending time with the many pets in her adorable collection.
You are a cutie, pig pig!

I remember the first time I met Vicki. We were assigned to share a computer in science class, and we began writing notes back and forth on our computer. She was in two of my classes, and we often walked to class together. As time went by, we hung out together at school and became pretty good friends.
One day Vicki (not her real name) told me she had a few problems that she didn't tell many people about. They included alcohol abuse and smoking. Her brother was in trouble with the law and tended to get her in trouble too. She never tried to influence me to do the things she was doing, and I respected her for that. I think she really didn't like her dysfunctional family life and didn't want to do some of the things she did.
The day she told me about the trouble she was in, she seemed afraid to confide in me, but it seemed she needed to talk to someone about it. It was hard to believe that such a sweet girl with such a pleasant and easy-to-like personality could get herself into so much trouble.
I know her family life played a big part in her problems. Vicki's parents divorced when she was 3. She lived with her dad, but they didn't get along. She said she missed her mother. Her home life was anything but happy. To me she seemed more like a victim, not a culprit.
14 is too young
As time passed, we remained friends, but I sort of forgot about what she had told me because she never talked about it again.
Then, when I came back to school after spring break, I heard the horrible news. Vicki had committed suicide.
At first I thought the story about her death was some kind of cruel joke that couldn't possibly be true. I didn't want to believe it even when our science teacher announced her death to the class.
I could think of nothing else for the rest of the day. My friend Vicki was dead. Fourteen is too young to die.
Rumors began to fly, some true, some not. Questions remain unanswered that even Vicki's suicide note couldn't explain. Some evidence seemed to indicate that she had changed her mind about committing suicide but too late to save herself. Maybe her actions were only a desperate cry for help, and now it was too late.
For the next few days, all kinds of questions raced through my mind. Why did she do it? Was Vicki's life so unbearable that she saw no other way out of her problems? Maybe I should have talked to her more. Was there something I could have done?
All my life I had taken my friends for granted. I had never known what it was like to lose one. Dealing with the loss of a friend is almost unbearable, as is coping with the feelings of denial, blame and fear. Sometimes I still blame myself. Could I have called someone or taken some other action? Those feelings just won't go away.
I've talked to people about Vicki's suicide: my friends and especially my parents. Although they have helped me to see that Vicki's death was not my fault, it still hurts.
Needed to talk
Talking to my parents and surrounding myself with my friends has helped me the most, but sometimes I can't help feeling that tomorrow I may lose another friend.
I ask myself if there is anything in my friendship with Vicki I could have done differently. Could I have spent more time with her or maybe talked to her about her problems? I should have advised her to talk to a counselor at school since she couldn't talk to her father.
But, even through the pain of losing my friend, my parents have helped me see that there is a brighter day ahead for Vicki. I look forward to the time when there will be a resurrection of the dead, to a time when I can be there to help Vicki overcome her problems in a world that will be free of the pain of today's society.
I'm glad Vicki-and numerous others whose lives were cut off prematurely-will live again in a much happier time.
I've learned one things for sure from this experience: Don't take your friends for granted. You never know when they might be gone.

My hope is that everyone is well.
Although I recently sent Lisa some thoughts to post, I felt compelled to write again.
I have been asked why it had been so long between my June and October posts. If you go back and read my June post, you will see that I wrote about the many special people in my life that have their birthdays in June. Unfortunately, over the many years, birthdays, anniversaries, and other happy events often have an opposite effect on me. Sorry for the hiatus.
Also, now, summer can be a difficult time for me in general. I can remember, when I was home summer was my favorite time of the year. Ask anyone who knew me, I was most comfortable in shorts and bare feet, and I was always ready to head to the beach. I was a sun worshiper. Also, summer was when my birthday was, and when Amber was born. Summer was my symbol of life and happiness.
Once I got locked behind these walls, summer was merely a reminder of what I used to have; what was lost; what had been taken away. Over my many years in prison, I came to despise summer and what it reminds me of.
What made me want to write today is that I want to share what has been going on in my heart and mind now…
During the different times of the calendar year I have a vast array of memories and emotions. Some good; some bad. While I have been in prison; however, there has always been something psychological about the changing of the seasons that affects me in a profound way. Lisa and I have spoken at length about it. She feels it too. It may be the symbolic thought of change-the death of one season, and the birth of a new one. Or, it may merely be that the changing of the seasons marks the passage of time-time away from my family; time I've grown older in prison. I think it's about the loss. In retrospect, perhaps it's that I feel that my feelings of loss are magnified during the changing of the seasons.
Fall and November, in particular, is a symbol of loss for me because it was when I lost my cousin, John and my grandparents, vovó and vovô. I was already incarcerated and unable to be there when they passed. I could not be there to pay my respects, mourn with my family, or to physically or emotionally help. That is something I've always had difficulty and regret about.
My cousin John suddenly and tragically was taken from his young wife and two small girls. Everyone was devastated. John was loved by everyone who knew him. And years later my father especially took it hard when his parents passed within hours of each other. I was not able to be with them. It was difficult beyond words. I will always live with the pain and regret that I was unable to be there. I'm sorry.
Really, I guess at different times of the year I could find something negative to remind me of loss. I understand that it is all a matter of choosing to find the positive; to stay focused on faith, hope, and love. And I do. But I am human. I have many difficult times. More than I choose to admit. More than I choose to share with my family. There are days when I want to scream for the truth to finally come out. But, because I don't want them to worry, I put on a brave face and tell them that I'm ok. But that's not always true. The truth is it is difficult being away from them. It is difficult being in prison for something I did not do. It is hard when I'm alone and I miss Lisa and my family. It's particularly hard when it comes to my daughter.
I guess my point is that I have good days and I have bad days. Sometimes I feel strong, like nothing can hurt me because I have the truth on my side. Then, there are times when heartbreak and despair creep in and get a foothold. That's when I lean a little harder on Lisa and my family; they are always there to hold me up. For that I am thankful. They take care of me. They keep me strong. They remind me of what is waiting for me when I go home. I pull myself up and keep going. The alternative is to give up. With so many people who love and support me, that's not an option. I'm reminded of a message I got one night when I was all alone: she said, "Everything is going to be okay."
As I look back at what I've written, I realize how depressing I must sound. So, I want to end this post on a happier note. I received a wonderful visit from my cousin Josh and his girlfriend Dolores. They were visiting from Nevada and made time to visit me. In fact, they spent most of the day with me and Dancer. It was great to see them. Josh is like my little brother and he has always been there for me. It was great to talk, laugh and spend time with them. He shared with me a song that he likes called, "Brother," by Needtobreathe. I found an acoustic version and it's now one of my favorite songs. Thanks Josh.
Thank you for letting me share some of my thoughts. And thank you to everyone for their continued love and kind words of support. Lisa reads them to me every day. She often reminds me how Jen and our legal team are fighting hard to bring me home. Lisa is my love and my life. She reminds me every day that we fight for our future and we fight because it brings us one day closer.

Getting There: Piano lessons
Published 11:24 am, Saturday, October 20, 2012
I was born a piano virtuoso. I think all babies are. When a 2-year-old is pounding rambunctiously on the piano, he or she imagines being Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt or Sir Elton John.
Then, at age 5, somebody sat me down and taught me how to play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" with one finger. I realized I had a long way to go.
I soon learned to play all the usual childhood standards: "Chopsticks," "Heart and Soul" and "I Don't Drink Beer on Sunday." That last piece is particularly tricky because it is played with a closed fist, all on the black keys.
My oldest sister Shirley had taken some piano lessons as a child, but they were interrupted, I think, because the teacher moved. My second sister Pat took piano lessons as a senior in high school when I was about 9. She came home from lessons and passed on what she knew to me. She even bought me a beginner's book.
Unfortunately, Pat didn't take lessons very long. Stubbornly, I continued by myself, working my way through all Shirley's piano books. My sisters once took me into a music store to buy a piano book and were surprised when I chose an easy version of J.S. Bach. I'd heard he was good.
When I was an eighth-grader, my parents learned about Mrs. Reiland, a piano teacher who lived about 12 miles away from us. Mrs. Reiland listened to me play, agreed to take me on as a pupil and set about undoing the damage.
She was a gentle teacher. I have heard horror stories from people who had piano teachers that hit them on the fingers or sneered at them, and I don't believe I would have continued if she had been that kind. She was not. The worst adjective she ever used concerning my playing was "sloppy," and that was only because I sometimes was.
A farm wife, Mrs. Reiland lived in a two-story gray house with the front yard guarded by geese. Geese, in case you don't know, are mean, and I must have been pretty determined to get out of the car and walk past all that hissing in order to take piano lessons.
I paid 75 cents for an hour's lesson once a week - a really great price even back then. Mrs. Reiland further supplemented her income with the sale of strawberries and eggs for a similar reasonable price.
I graduated from high school, left home and neglected the piano for a number of years until my husband and I bought our own piano. I took more lessons as an adult and am proficient enough to play in church, though I never became the virtuoso I thought I was before the age of 5.
Mrs. Reiland continued teaching piano for a number of years. I was pleased to learn from my brother's wife Debby that my nieces were taking lessons from her.
Years after that when I was visiting, Debby asked if I remembered Mrs. Reiland. I said of course I did.
"Well, it turns out, she's some kind of little millionaire," Debby said.
Mrs. Reiland, who kept geese, sold strawberries on the side and charged 75 cents a lesson, was indeed "some kind of little millionaire." Following is a quote from the Jamestown (N.D.) College website:
"Reiland Auditorium: This building was named for Rose Mary Reiland who was the major benefactor. Rose Mary is a 1947 graduate of Jamestown College and is a member of the Jamestown College Alumni Association Board. The nearly 47,000 square foot facility houses the music, art, and theatre departments. The facility also boasts a 700-seat auditorium and a variety of other amenities."
The lessons of Rose Mary Reiland are with me every time I sit down to play the piano. May God bless her and all the other patient, modest women who teach the children and care about the arts.

Early yesterday morning, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents conducted a sweep of Costa Mesa marijuana dispensaries, raiding several storefronts as well as homes of collective members. The raids appear to confirm that, as spelled out in an Obama administration memo first reported by the Weekly last October, the federal government's war on California weed is showing no signs of ending anytime soon. A press release issued by the U.S. attorney's office states that three of the collectives were located at 440 Fair Dr., which until last September was the location of the now-closed Herban Elements, operated by Sue Lester, erstwhile candidate for city council and a subject of an OC Weekly cover story last year.
Also raided yesterday was a dispensary on Cabrillo St. In connection with the raid drug agents arrested grower
Jeff Byrne, whose cannabis is marketed under the "Simple Farmer" label,
and seized more than 500 plants at two separate locations.
Simultaneously, the feds raided Otherside Farms, whose owner, Chadd
McKeen, also featured in another Weekly cover story, who according to the U.S. attorney's office complaint,
told a city code inspector that he hoped to "make so much money" from
his marijuana cultivation that he could provide $500,000 in donations to
the city each year, thus staving off layoffs of city employees.
The U.S. attorney's office press release issued today states that the raids were part of an ongoing effort to crack down on storefront dispensaries in California, and that letters "went out today to the owners and operators of currently operating or recently closed marijuana stores–nearly three dozen in Costa Mesa, and one now-shuttered store in Newport Beach. All known stores in these two South Orange County cities are now the subject of federal enforcement actions."
A member of one of the raided collectives who asked to remain anonymous
said that he and two other employees were detained at gunpoint yesterday
morning at a delivery warehouse, handcuffed, and then released without
being charged. He said the DEA had no search warrant, but was acting on
information provided by an informant, presumed to be a city code
enforcement officer. The source added that the feds confiscated an
unknown amount of cash as well as approximately 10 pounds of marijuana.

One day a young girl was walking home from school when she came across a barbed-wire fence. She was curious about it because there was something she found suspicious, but she couldn't quite put her foot on it. Even though it had a sign that said electric fence, Athezra decided to climb it since no one where they lived had enough money for an electric fence, but there was a lot of crime; they just wanted to scare people. As Athezra was climbing the fence, she noticed something very odd in the distance, though couldn't tell exactly what it was. When she got over the fence, she quick ran in that direction, so as not to be seen.
Once she finally made it to the unknown something, she saw that it was just a gravestone in a gravesite. Though, this one was very different. This one was distinct, the reason being that all the words were written on this one in blood. The bloody words ended with a calligraphy tool and there was a puddle of blood spilled under the pen. Athezra thought that the particularly curious thing was that the blood wasn't dried, it was still completely liquid. She was a bit worried that it was written in ink, but she just believed the blood to be red pen ink.
All of a sudden, a familiar voice to Athezra, who became apparent to this, was screaming bloody murder. She quick ran up, and screamed "Wayke! Wayke!" Athezra raced to her friend who was bleeding convolsively. Wayke was laying on the sidewalk with blood gushing down her arm.
"He-stabbed. He-he-said-not-to scream. I-I-I-did."
"Wayke, Wayke, Wayke-I'm, I'm gonna call 911. Who did this to you?"
"He-wore-black. He-had-a-mask. He-stabbed. He----Owwwwwwwww!!"
Athezra called the cops and ambulance as quickly as she could and helped Wayke onto the gourney with the EMTs' help. They rushed back to the hospital with her parents and Wayke's family.
After many days of Wayke being in the hospital and nearly dying, she finally returned back to school. Athezra still had never been able to talk to Wayke about what happened, since she was in such horrible conditions. But today was her chance to figure out what happened and maybe what the attempted-homosidal killer's possible motive was
"So, Wayke; sorry to mention this so close to the attack, but......"
"Well, I just wanted to know if you maybe, could tell me what he did to you."
"He came up to me, just a random stranger, off the street, when I was going to the grocery store to pick up some milk. Then he walked closer, pulled out a knife, then ran away. It was at, like, 3:11. He, just, well, you know, and then rushed away over to the cemetary behind the barbed fence behind your house."
"Wait, so, that man, he must've been the one to write on that grave, but, why?"
"Oh, nothing, but-"
"We have found out who the attacker was, girls." the nurse said as she walked in after ringing the doorbell to Wayke's home.
"Who? Wayke, as soon as I can get my hands on them-I'll-I'll-"
"Stop, Athezra. You know you can't do anything to him. It's okay. I'm better. Really."
When Athezra went to investigate, she saw that the blood was still fresh, which she didn't understand. But wait-the name was the same as the man's that hurt Wayke.
She was watching the news later that night and she saw someone else had been stabbed in their right arm, same as Wayke, and by that man. In the same town.
When Athezra went back to the cemetary a few days later, to crack the code, the blood was fresh yet again. And the death date of the same man that attacked both children-was- 78 years ago. Apparently the man was a child when he died and someone stabbed him in his right arm, though he died from blood loss. Ever since that day, it's said that he stabs a child every day, making sure not to kill them, and makes the blood fresh on the same stone that the attacker buried him under, writing all the words in his fresh blood.

I am not quite sure what you are asking. Is he trying to modify an existing alimony award that was ordered in the final judgment? He can only do that if he petitions the court and if there is a substantial change in circumstances that warrants the modification. If he simply "chooses" to reduce the payment, then he would be in contempt of the prior order. Hope that answers your question. If not, feel free to inquire further.
Answer Applies to: Florida

If there is a court order requiring him to pay alimony, it will take another court order to change it. If there is no court order requiring him to pay something, then he legally free to do what he wants. If you did not get court ordered alimony when you were divorced 2 years ago, you probably can't get it now.

Akhil Reed Amar, Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science, Yale University
In this lecture, Professor Amar offered a new "proof" of Freedom of Speech as a constitutional right--a proof focusing not on the text of the First Amendment (or any other clause of the document); nor on the abstract structural logic of the Constitution as a whole; nor on Supreme Court case law; nor on purely pragmatic or philosophical considerations. Instead, Professor Amar invited the audience to "read" the Constitution not as a text, but as a deed--as an act of ordainment and establishment that took place in the late 1780s, in a process in which a remarkably robust freedom of speech prevailed both in favor of and in opposition to the plan proposed by the Philadelphia Convention. Robust, wide-open, uninhibited freedom of speech was inextricably intertwined with the very enactment of the Constitution itself. Leading Founders called attention to this remarkable fact during the Founding era itself, but modern scholarship on freedom of expression has tended to overlook this key point.
Amar is the author of America's Constitution: A Biography (Random House 2005), which won the ABA Silver Gavel Award of 2006. His 1998 book, The Bill of Rights: Creation and Reconstruction (Yale University Press), earned the ABA Certificate of Merit and the Yale University Press Governors Award. Amar is the co-editor of a leading constitutional law casebook, Processes of Constitutional Decision-making and is also the author of The Constitution and Criminal Procedure: First Principles (Yale Univ. Press, 1997). He joined the Yale law faculty in 1985, after clerking on the First Circuit for Judge Stephen Breyer. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and in 2008 he received the DeVane Medal–Yale's highest award for teaching excellence. He has delivered endowed lectures at numerous colleges and universities and he has written widely on constitutional issues in both law journals and general-interest publications.

President Obama delivered a blunt response on Tuesday to Donald Trump's ongoing, unsubstantiated complaints that the November election will be rigged against him: quit whining, and go win votes.
A reporter asked the President about Trump's repeated assertions of a "rigged" election and widespread voter fraud at a Rose Garden news conference with the prime minister of Italy.
"That is both irresponsible and by the way doesn't show the kind of leadership and toughness you want out of a president. You start whining before the game is even over?" President Obama asked sarcastically. "If whenever things are going badly for you and you lose, you start blaming somebody else then you don't have what it takes to be in this job."
The President also dismissed Trump's comments as both unprecedented and "based on no facts."
RELATED: Trump: Clinton should be in jail, the election is rigged
He pointed out that elections are conducted at a state level, and many of the most actively contested states, like Florida, Ohio and North Carolina have Republican governors who'd be unlikely to collude with Hillary Clinton against a Republican candidate.
"Every expert, regardless of political party, regardless of ideology, conservative or liberal who has ever examined these issues in a serious way will tell you that instances of significant voter fraud are not to be found," the President said.
RELATED: Rigged election? A chorus of complaint from Team Trump
At an afternoon rally in Colorado, Trump did not respond to the President directly, but kept up his line of accusations about the media and an unknown, conspiratorial "they" working to rig elections against him.
"They even want to rig the election at the polling booths, where so many cities are corrupt. And you see that. And voter fraud is all too common," Trump said. "And then they criticize us for saying that."

Homeland Exclusive, Explanation: Damian Lewis on Brody's TurnMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Homeland viewers debated it for weeks, but Damian Lewis always had a pretty clear idea on which side Nicholas Brody would fall.
"I knew that Brody was going to end up possibly doing something violent," the actor told me over the phone today, careful not to spoil any upcoming developments. "The motivation wasn't going to be clear until later on, and we're just exploring it now."
Yes, we are. And the conclusion to last Sunday's thrilling episode has fans divided.
To summarize: after five years held captive - "brutally tortured, physically and psychologically," Lewis emphasized - Brody was set free from his cell, given a shave, a haircut, a hot bath, a comfortable bedroom and an assignment: teach Issa, the young son of Abu Nazir, English.
This surrogate father and child proceeded to bond over their lessons, over soccer and over the fact that each had a damaged relationship with their loved ones: Issa because his dad was a radical Jihadist, Brody because he never believed he'd see his family again.
Then, an American bomb killed Issa while he was at school. The U.S. Vice President denied our role in the incident and Brody - at least from what viewers know at the moment - appears to have voluntarily chosen to seek revenge against his native country.
But is this a believable response, some viewers have wondered. Brody is a military man. Clearly he understands the concept of war and collateral damage, right?
"He's been isolated from his fellow soldiers for five years," Lewis said of why Brody has made this decision. "He's still in this fragile, vulnerable, damaged state when he meets Issa, on whom he projects all his love because he never thinks he'll see his son again."
Lewis continued, comparing the explosion that took Issa's life to The Blitz in World War II, during which Germany bombed England for 76 consecutive nights:
"What he's witnessed over there is its own kind of terror... a boy in a small village simply goes to school and a silent bomb comes around the corridor and just detonates. And that's it. You can imagine being changed by that, especially when you've been surrounded by those who have been on the receiving end of these drone attacks for so long. You begin to sympathize with them."
Lewis knows this represents a political debate that could rage for hours, that some may simply state we're responding to a systematic taking of innocent lives by these terrorists and collateral damage, unfortunately, is the price of war.
That's fine. You're free to think that, of course. "But Brody has experienced things almost nobody else has," the actor says.
As for this Sunday's episode, previewed above? Can Lewis offer a tease of where Homeland is headed next? Yes:
"Brody might be thinking long-term in terms of his ideological fight against the United States."
Homeland airs Sunday nights on Showtime at 10 p.m. It's riveting.

Variable speed heating zone circulators:
This article describes brands & models of forced hot water heating system circulator pumps whose motor speed or circulating speed can be set to varying rates.
We describe both older obsolete variable speed circulator pumps and modern currently-available models including manufacturer brand, model, and circulator pump sources.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2017 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
Variable speed heating zone circulators provide an additional level of heating zone control and can be used to solve heating problems amenable to either an increase in circulating water speed (get more heat in a zone) or a decrease in heating zone circulator speed (less heat or continuous, more even heat).
At left is a Bell & Gossett UpStart hot water heating zone circulator pump produced - a B&G product no longer distributed. This circulator pump included a variable-speed circulator motor (see that gold knob on the electrical box atop the motor?).
This hot water heating zone circulator used a four-speed motor whose output rate could be set by the consumer or heating service technician.
By changing the circulator motor speed on this pump or on the next model shown below, we could slow or speed the flow rate of hot water through the zone managed by this circulator. The result: this control provided another way to balance heat flow among multiple zones (and circulators) in a building.
This circulator, the Bell & Gossett SLC-25 Upstart Circulator was sold during the 1980's and is not currently available. But B&G offered similar replacements (such as the NRF-22).
At below is a newer but also obsolete product, the B&G NRF-VS variable speed circulator is shown.
Other variable speed circulators include the Taco BumbleBee High-Efficiency Variable-Speed Circulator HEC-2 and Variable speed circulators from Grundfos.
Quoting from the company's product literature:
The Taco Bumble Bee (model HEC-2) represents the very latest in variable speed wet rotor circulator technology. Its high efficiency ECM motor uses up to 85% less electricity than a standard circulator, and its out-of-the-box settings and 360 ̊ swivel flange makes it a breeze to install. Most importantly, the Bumble Bee's Delta-T variable speed technology maximizes the overall efficiency of your heating system. - Taco Catalog q#100-101 retrieved 1/24/2014 [on file] see References at the end of this article
Alpha Series pumps by Grundfos also provide variable speed hydronic heating water circulation control. Quoting [with minor adaptations] from product literature from Grundfos, including the UPS15-58FC and the Grundfos Alpha series.
The Alpha Series pumps [above right] (e.g. ALPHA 15-55F - ALPHA 15-55SF/LC) have permanent magnet motors designed for circulating water through domestic hot water systems, heating systems, or cooling and air conditioning systems.
The Alpha pumps can be used in systems with either constant or varying water flow rates. example of a Grundfos ALPHA pump The Alpha pumps incorporate a frequency converter, an integrated differential pressure control, and an electronic processor to automatically adjust pump speed based on the system demand and flow rates.
The AUTOADAPT™ software recognizes changes in the system like opening and closing valves or faucets that can cause a change in the head-flow requirements of the system. AUTOADAPT™ monitors the motor current versus the pump hydraulic or pressure conditions and automatically adjusts the motor speed to minimize the pumps energy consumption and at the same time maximize your system needs for your comfort level.
The Grundfos MixiMiser™ is the only pump and controller system of its kind. The mixing-reset control automatically calculates and controls water temperatures according to outdoor temperatures in primary and secondary heating systems.
The MixiMizer™ can be installed into a thermostatic or zoning control system for maximum design flexibility.
A fully serviceable check valve is installed into the pump housing to eliminate unwanted, uncontrolled, flow when the pump is not on and will not inhibit water flow when the pump is on. LED indicators located on the terminal box indicate pump performance and help diagnose possible faults without the use of tools.
Can you tell me if there are any studies or articles that may guide me to the best speed (RPM) that a circulation pump should have ? We all know that when an Oil Boiler "kicks" on after a call of heat that the circulation starts however we all also know that the slower (and longer) that water stays in the boiler the faster and hotter the water will heat.
Also, as the boiler reaches a temperature to shut off and the circulation is still on, there must be a best speed to let off heat within the baseboard, radiator, etc. - Anonymous by private email 2018/01/31
I too have asked service technicians and manufacturers about the "best" speed for variable-speed circulator pumps and I've gotten answers that were all over the place. I suspect that that the bottom line is that there is some subjectivity in deciding on the circulator speed.
If we need more heat in an area we can send more BTUh through the piping by upping the circulator speed.
Manually-set variable speed circulators are then adjusted to increase the heat output of an individual zone as needed.
Variable-speed self-adjusting hydronic circulators like the Taco Delta T 00® (described in more detail just below) monitor temperature across the zone and adjust the circulator speed to a desired heat delta T setting. That design is particularly useful for radiant heat flooring systems.
You might already realize that in many boiler set-ups, especially in the U.S. the thermostat turns on the circulator and the boiler temperature is what turns the burner on or off. So the circulator will run until the thermostat is satisfied.
The link given below describes a more-sophisticated "Delta-T" circulator from Taco
The instruction sheet for this circulator explains:
Variable speed pumping to maintain a set differential temperature (delta T or ∆T) between two sensors allows for automatic adjustment of the pump's performance to match the load of the system or zone, eliminate velocity noise in zone valve systems and conserve energy.
Since delta T is directly related to flow rate, the pump's speed continually adjusts to the required BTU per hour. In almost all applications the design of the system was based on being able to maintain a certain delta T and figured by using the universal hydronics equation of BTU/hr = GPM x 500 x ∆T.
Given that, any time there is a change to the heat load (i.e. warmer day or greater heat loss from a structure) then the GPM should change to match the required BTU/hr.
This is achieved when the variable speed 00-VDT Circulators automatically and continually adjust their GPM output (by varying speed) to match the required BTU/hr output of the system, no matter the changes in heat load, while always maintaining the designed delta T between a supply and return sensor.
The company includes a video on how to read circulator pump performance curves.

TWC Sports' David Rone Says Acquiring MLS Galaxy Rights Crucial For Channels
Time Warner Cable Sports' 10-year, $55M deal for rights to the MLS Galaxy will be made official later Friday at a press conference in L.A. Time Warner Cable Sports President David Rone said the MLS games will be produced for the two new RSNs, which will be called Time Warner Cable Sportsnet and Time Warner Cable Deportes. "Soccer, in general, is becoming more and more prevalent in the States," Rone said. "Spring and summer programming, which we're in the process of building out; a relationship with AEG; and resonance with the Hispanic community: all of that comes together and it creates enormous value for our networks." When asked about other rights that interest TWC, Rone said the Dodgers were at the top of his wish list. "If we had the opportunity, we would be highly desirous in acquiring the media rights to the Los Angeles Dodgers," he said. "My interest hasn't waned."
Q: Why does the Galaxy deal make sense for you?
Rone: We are launching not just one, but two 24/7 RSNs. They will be two separately programmed regional sports networks that will have at their core some foundational programming that we will share across both networks. That foundational programming began with our partnership with the Lakers and now extends to this partnership with the Galaxy. When you think about this historic first-ever Spanish-language RSN that we're calling Time Warner Cable Deportes, there's nothing from a sports standpoint that resonates with the Hispanic community more than soccer. With the Galaxy being the brightest of the bright teams in the MLS -- and now being a championship team with stars like David Beckham and Landon Donovan -- it made all the sense in the world to us to have at our core a partnership that really centers itself in soccer, parlay it across two networks and, as importantly, strike the kind of relationship we have now with AEG, given their prominence in the sports world overall but in particular in Los Angeles.
Q: Explain why having a relationship with AEG is so important.
Rone: I've know [President & CEO] Tim Leiweke, [COO] Dan Beckerman and the group at AEG for 12-15 years now. No one's more aware of their prominence in L.A. than I am. [TWC Sports Senior VP/GM] Mark Shuken and I had a responsibility for appropriately programming and bringing these networks to life. The Galaxy was a natural. Tim knew we were there. I knew Tim was there. This was one of the first calls we made. The combination of the programming and who owns it . Mr. Anschutz and the AEG organization it made a lot of sense for us on a lot of different levels.
Q: Reports are that the deal is for $55M over 10 years.
Rone: I can't comment on the rights fees. We have confidentiality agreements.
Q: How did you value these rights?
Rone: The rights are very valuable to Time Warner Cable Sportsnet and Time Warner Cable Deportes. These two networks are on the rise. Soccer, in general, is becoming more and more prevalent in the States. Spring and summer programming, which we're in the process of building out; a relationship with AEG; and resonance with the Hispanic community: all of that comes together and it creates enormous value for our networks.
Q: Given the reports, the Galaxy now have the highest rights fees in all of MLS.
Rone: I think that's probably correct. And I think that was probably correct prior to our deal. I believe they were already the highest earning media rights team in MLS. Nothing will have changed there.
Q: Other than the amount they're getting paid.
Rone: Yes. That changed.
Q: What does that say about the value of MLS rights?
Rone: The league is on a rise in general. What this deal should say about MLS and soccer rights in general is that we're rapidly getting to a point, particularly with the launch of a 24/7, fully dedicated regional sports network to Spanish language programming, where soccer is going to become more and more valuable to the marketplace. We now are creating for that community and market, we are creating language-specific programming and a platform that you can therefore amortize and multi-platform rights like the Galaxy.
Q: What was your pitch to get the Galaxy rights?
Rone: Our approach to these foundational programming partnerships is that we're going to provide the fans and viewers with greater depth around these teams than they've ever had before. That certainly was very interesting to the Galaxy as it was to the Los Angeles Lakers. In past relationships, they've been very fortunate to get their events on the air. But there wasn't much other programming outside of Lakers and Galaxy games on television. You'll see more Lakers and Galaxy programming and a greater depth and access into those teams and organizations than viewers and fans have ever seen on television before. It's clear to me that's why the Galaxy came.
Q: What other rights are on your wish list?
Rone: The Los Angeles Dodgers are at the top of that wish list, as you can fully imagine.
Q: What's going on with that right now, given the events of this week?
Rone: I don't think it has changed in the past week at all. I [was at SBJ's Media and Technology conference] almost a week ago. You asked me if we had an interest and what was our interest level in the Dodgers. I told you, 'Absolutely, we had an interest.' If we had the opportunity, we would be highly desirous in acquiring the media rights to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
That remains the same today.
Q: Have you had talks with the Dodgers yet?
Rone: No. My understanding is that it won't be the Dodgers that we will be having discussions with.
Q: The Dodgers top your wish list. What other rights are out there?
Rone: I'd like to decline commenting on that. As you know, these things are most successfully done when they are done under the radar. But you can suffice it to say that we plan on being continually active as it relates to the acquisition and creation of programming for these networks.

Irish girls stay perfect in conference
A crowd of excited fans showed up to watch the Irish continue their winning season as Maple Lake played the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Jaguars on Thursday, Oct. 3.
Going into the game, Maple Lake's record in the conference was 4-0. One of the team's goals this season was to win the conference title and winning the game on Thursday would only make them closer to achieving that goal. They came out on the court ready to play hard and work for a win.
Game one the Irish played well fundamentally but lacked the intensity needed to consistently score. Though they lost the first set 25-16, Maple Lake made some great plays towards the end making great gains and putting momentum on their side to start game two.

Black Soldiers
12 comments:
The US was deeply segregated during these years. There were four Black regiments when war broke out: 9th & 10th Cavalry and 24th & 25th Infantry. The Army had a quota for Black troops and at the end of one week once war broke out stopped accepting Black recruits as they had so many. Many saw this as a chance to "prove" themselves to White society and a step towards equality.ReplyDelete
When the draft was instituted, many boards (all White) wanted to see more Black serve than Whites.
Blacks could not serve in the Marines and were limited to "custodial" duties in the Navy & Coast Guard. In the Army Blacks served as cavalry, infantry, signal, medical, engineer, and artillery units, as well as serving as chaplains, surveyors, truck drivers, chemists, and intelligence officers. Very few were in combat units.

Well, I guess it was better if they weren't in combat - they had a better chance of surviving.ReplyDelete
I'm sure they served with honor, no matter what their duties were.
I like the boots on their uniforms.

Or are those spats? Anyway, they certainly looked sharp.ReplyDelete

Smart Girl, they are called Leggings.ReplyDelete
President Truman was the person who ordered integration of the military (accompanied by all of the same rumblings we hear today about allowing gays to serve), but things were still pretty grim on the home front.ReplyDelete
I was working in Cardiology at Hopkins Hospital the day Marion Anderson died, and left my desk to sit in the waiting room with an elderly black patient who seemed to be particularly distressed by the news. He'd been one of "my" patients for abou a year, so I knew his pretty well. He told me he had seen Miss Anderson when he was on tour in France, and had "fallen in love with her on the spot". He mentioned all of the museums, etc., that he had visited in Europe "because we weren't allowed to go into those places over here, you know."
I put my hand on his arm. "Mr. Smothers, did you ever wonder why you came home?" "Many times, child. Many times." And then he sighed and put his hand on mine. "But then, I wouldn't have met you."
I had to go to the exam room to pull myself back together.
Good story Lady Anne.ReplyDelete

I like this photo. The soldiers are all in step, looking good. It took me a few minutes to see that there are eight soldiers in the photo and not seven.ReplyDelete
A couple of them look a bit tired. It may have been towards the end of a long and hot march.ReplyDelete
Anon when I was in the military they were known as gaiters
All carrying the 1903 Springfield Rifle, which eventually introduced the .30-06 rifle cartridge (.30 caliber, 1906), which became the standard rifle cartridge for the U.S. armed services until the late 50's, and is today one of the most common hunting rounds.ReplyDelete
The Springfield remained standard issue for Army and Marines until the late 30's, when the Garand M1 Rifle was adopted, but plenty of Springfields stayed in service through WWII.
Leggings lasted in the Army until, I think, sometime before or after the Korean war.
For some insight into the experience of African Americans in WW1, let me introduce you to Lt. James Reese Europe, famous leader of the 369th Infantry "Hell Fighters" Band.ReplyDelete
I first heard of him in Ken Burns' documentary "Jazz".
He was the leader the most popular AA band in the 'teens, and toured with Vernon and Irene Castle 1914 to 1915. He volunteered for WW1 and was commissioned a Lt. He and his AA unit (mostly musicians) were in the trenches, then the brass felt they would be more useful as morale builders. 369th U.S. Infantry "Hell Fighters" Band was incredibly popular with military and civilian audiences alike.

Thanks. They really look good.
Lady Anne:
Great story.
I really enjoyed reading about Lt. Europe! There will another CD added to the Rice Paddy Musical Library in the near future.ReplyDelete
Hubby and I were both astounded that a "Negro" was an officer in WWI.
Thanks for the responce to my story about Mr. Smothers. He was one of my favorite patients, and I guess I was one of his favorite people, too. Dear, sweet man.

Brittany Murphy collapsed of a heart attack in the shower – She went out of the world as she came in to it, no not clueless, but completely naked.
Apparently her husband tried to revive her with chest massage, as did 3 passers by, the paramedics, the police, the fire crew, and the undertakers.
Brittany Murphy + see through dress = Drop dead gorgeous.
When I was a kid, my mum would send me down the shops with 50p. I could get a joint of beef, a dozen eggs, 2 loaves of bread and a pair of jeans. Those days are long gone now though…fucking CCTV!
Nothing wrong with using a mirror glued to the toe of your shoe... But hooray for modern upskirt view technology.

See the complete review in 102 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum.
MathHelp first began as Algebra Classmate, then changed to YourTeacher. It has been renamed yet again as MathHelp. Despite the name changes MathHelp remains one of my Top Picks. They offer multimedia courses in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 exclusively through online delivery.
A free demo lesson at MathHelp's website will give you a good idea how the courses work before you subscribe. Subscriptions for homeschoolers are by the month or the year. With a single subscription you get access to all four courses, so this might be a super bargain if you have two or more high schoolers and need more than one of the courses....
These are complete courses....
Lessons are presented in a video screen on the computer with course creator Mike Maggart or another teacher leading each lesson on a whiteboard. (You will need your computer speakers or a headset to listen to the audio for the presentation.) A notes section, viewed by pushing a button on the lesson screen, details the primary concepts of the lesson and can be printed out for reference and review. Practice problems are also provided (along with answers for self-checking). Then there's a self-test for each lesson that is automatically corrected. Scores for these self-tests are recorded and can be referenced by the parent or teacher. In addition, each lesson has a "deep thought" problem for those needing an extra challenge.
Lessons are grouped into chapters and units, with another quiz at the end of each unit. Lessons are very thorough and offer a number of ways for students to learn and practice the material. Explanations are excellent. All these features make this one of the most truly independent-learning high school math courses.
On a personal note, a friend of mine who teaches continuing education for older students who struggle with learning in the regular classroom raved about these courses and has now used them with a number of students.

Pandemic: An epidemic (a sudden outbreak) that becomes very widespread and affects a whole region, a continent, or the world due to a susceptible population. By definition, a true pandemic causes a high degree of mortality (death)
By contrast:
- An epidemic affects more than the expected number of cases of disease occurring in a community or region during a given period of time. A sudden severe outbreak within a region or a group as, for example, AIDS in Africa or AIDS in intravenous drug users.
- An endemic is present in a community at all times but in low frequency. An endemic is continuous as in the case of malaria in some areas of the world or as with illicit drugs in some neighborhoods.
The word "pandemic" comes from the Greek "pan-", "all" + "demos," "people or population" = "pandemos" = "all the people." A pandemic affects all (nearly all) of the people. By contrast, "epi-" means "upon." An epidemic is visited upon the people. And "en-" means "in." An endemic is in the people.

Intel details performance hit for Meltdown fix on affected processors
Now that the Meltdown and Spectre cats are out of the bag and patches are being issued left and right, the main question people have is: will this affect my everyday work? Intel's latest performance metrics suggest that yes it might, but not too much — more so if, like me, you have an older processor. Read More

Back Against The Wall, Intel Ramps Up Investment For 2013 To Make The Shift To Mobile Processors
Even though Intel's quarterly earnings were a mixed bag, the biggest surprise comes from its research and development investment plans. In 2013, the company plans to invest $13 billion compared to $10.15 billion in 2012 and $8.35 billion in 2011. This money will be used to bridge the mobile gap, as ARM-based manufacturers are current market leaders. Read More
Apple Reportedly Swallows A 20% Price Hike For Its Samsung-Supplied Mobile Processors
Samsung has reportedly increased the price of the mobile processors it manufactures for Apple's iOS devices by 20 percent, according to South Korean daily newspaper Chosun Ilbo, which says it received the information with someone familiar with negotiations between the two firms. Apple apparently wanted to walk away rather than accept the new terms, according to the report, but had no… Read More
Texas Instruments Promises All-Day Battery Life With 2013 OMAPs
Since battery technology isn't really enabling us to pack more than a few watt-hours into our portable devices, companies like Intel, Nvidia, and Texas Instruments are working hard at making their chips and processors more efficient. Apple is acknowledged to be the leader here — their vertically-integrated device creation process (and the mysterious A5) gives them the control they… Read More
Intel's 3D Transistors Promise Small Physical And Electrical Footprint
Intel has made an interesting advance in microprocessor technology after years of research, and it seems that 2011's processors will be the first to feature 3D transistors and tri-gate technology. By optimizing the shape of the transistor at a nanometer level, Intel has made it possible to both reduce the size of individual transistors and improve their efficiency. Now, it's… Read More

Researchers Make First Plastic Processor
As you probably know, computer processors are made up of a bunch of teeny tiny transistors on top of brittle silicon. While this works well for devices that can deal with solid frames, new technologies that need to be more flexible will require a new type of processor. One that can bend. Read More
World's First Flexible Microprocessor Made With Organic Semiconductors
This week at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference, European researchers showed off the world's first flexible microprocessor made with organic semiconductors. Right now, processing power is similar to what was found in the 1970′s, but the advantage is that the processor is flexible. What's so good about the research is that it can lead to fully bendable displays… Read More
Intel's Sandy Bridge Processors In The Wild And Reviewed
The "tock" portion of Intel's latest tick-tock cycle has officially hit, and the shrink of last year's Core processors brings a number of improvements to the line.

Intel Taking Atom Process To 15 Nanometers – That's Really Tiny
For years, makers of computer processors have worked to shrink the size of their components. The smaller your circuits and gates, after all, the more you can fit on a wafer, and the more work a processor can do per unit of area. Intel has traditionally done a die shrink every other year, and reorganized their chips on the "off" years. Interestingly, I wrote two years ago about… Read More
Dual-Core Orion CPU From Samsung Announced
The pair of 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 cores will come for mobile devices in 2011 with 1080p playback and recording, dual triple screen support and five times the 3D graphics performance than the current processors, you know the ones that are now used in the Galaxy S and Tab. I understand that it is important to use a dual screen phone for 1080p playback while you are driving an additional… Read More
Intel: GPUs aren't 100 times faster than CPUs, just 14 times. Nvidia: Oh no!
This is pretty funny. You've probably seen some of the propaganda over the last year or so about how GPUs are orders of magnitude faster than CPUs at certain tasks, due to their parallel processing engine. Intel got tired of hearing about it, I guess, and decided to debunk the myth. They set out to disprove the notion that a GPU can be 100 times faster than a CPU. They kind of did it, but… Read More
Apple's A4 ain't that special
I really don't understand what the big deal is about the A4. ARM designed the chip, Apple customized it, and Samsung built it. How is that any different from any other phone or device manufacturer? The A4 variant (an unfortunate name considering the A* naming convention in ARM chips) is just an A8-based chip with a setup specific to the iPhone or iPad's PCB layout and processing needs.

AMD's Vision: The chip race is finally over
Remember back in the day when you could go into a store and compare two clock speeds and come out with the right machine for you? Everything else was immaterial. Hard drives could be upgraded, memory could be added, but clock speed was the number you lived or died by. 1.8GHz was better than 1.5GHz every day of the week, right? Those days are over. Moore's Law, the idea that "the… Read More
Apple in talks with AMD? Set relationship status to "it's complicated"
AMD reps have been seen zooming around the Apple campus, taking meetings and presumably hawking their wares. With the recent MacBook Pro update proudly proclaiming the power of the Core i5 and i7 processors inside, and the work with Intel and NVIDIA to produce seamless hybrid graphics acceleration, it seems a rather odd time to be window-shopping with other vendors. But Apple has always been… Read More
New AMD processor details leak

Water runs uphill in mysterious silicon etching
Bet you weren't expecting that headline tonight, were you? Well, it's about as literal as I could get. Some enterprising boffins at the University of Rochester used a high-powered laser to etch microscopic patterns in silicon such that water overcomes its own hydrophilia and goes in whatever direction they please. This is very much still a laboratory discovery, but a few years down… Read More
Let there be… nanophotonic avalanche photodetectors!
File this one under "future toys." We hear about a lot of these super-low-level advances in processing and storage (whenever I see the word "holographic," I reach for the salt), and while they're usually at best years away from practice and manufacture, they're good to keep informed on, if nothing else than as cocktail chatter.

UMass embarrassed at Notre Dame, fall to Quinnipiac
November 19, 2012
Filed under Sports, Women's Basketball
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Overmatched and outplayed by a clearly superior opponent, the Massachusetts women's basketball team came up empty on the road against No. 7 Notre Dame on Sunday, falling 94-50 in a game that was over almost before it began.
The Minutewomen (1-3, 0-1 Atlantic 10 Conference), who received a team-high eight points from senior center Jasmine Watson, freshman forward Rashida Timbilla, sophomore forward Kim Pierre-Louis and sophomore forward Aisha Rodney, found themselves on the wrong end of a lopsided 53-19 halftime deficit.
The Fighting Irish (2-0, 0-0 Big East Conference) shot 60 percent from the field while making 9-of-10 free throw attempts en route to building their 34-point first half lead.
Coach Sharon Dawley said her team came out tentative in the first half, but showed more confidence in the second frame.
"We definitely came out better in the second half," Dawley said. "I think we were very uptight and nervous the first half. We missed a lot of (easy shots) then things started rolling in (Notre Dame's) favor, but coming out of halftime we settled down and started playing more aggressively."
Women's Bball Highlight Reel from Daily Collegian on Vimeo Video by Jesse Mayfield-Sheehan.
The game was particularly emotional for Watson, a South Bend, Ind., native and former Washington High School teammate of Notre Dame All-American guard Skylar Diggins, because her family was in attendance.
"I was really thankful for all my family that came and were ready to support me," Watson said. "They've been so supportive over these four years, and just to come home and showcase what I've been working on for the past four years, I've been so blessed to play in front of the people that watched me grow up.
"I know my family supports me from no matter where we play … that's a huge part of my motivation – the strength that I have coming from my family members in any and every given second of any given day – but the homecoming part of it was the cherry on top."
Despite a stronger showing in the second half, which saw guard Emily Mital, who sat out the previous game with bask spasms, go 2-of-2 on 3-point attempts, UMass faltered, posting 31 points while the Fighting Irish put up 41 to seal the victory.
Dawley was disappointed with a lack of execution, which included a season-high 34 turnovers, a number she said has to be cut down to find success.
"We're turning the ball over so many times and not doing a good job getting people the ball when they're open," Dawley said. "A lot of turnovers today were forced, but some were careless, and it's the careless ones we need to cut out of the equation if we're going to be getting better on a day-to-day basis. Reading the defense is going to be key for us."
Barron helps Quinnipiac quiet UMass
Playing in Amherst for the second time this season, UMass could not establish home court advantage as it fell 81-72 against Quinnipiac on Friday evening at the Mullins Center.
With Mital, the Minutewomen's leading scorer through its first two games, absent due to back spasms, freshman guard Jasmine Harris was inserted into the lineup for her first career start.
Dawley said that, whether or not losing Mital hurt the team's confidence, her squad looked uncharacteristically low on energy.
"(It was) a disappointing night," Dawley said. "I thought we opened up pretty flat. Just didn't get after it, didn't have enough energy for me, (starting at) the jump ball.
"I don't know if losing (Mital) this afternoon had a lot to do with confidence, but we're not the same team that we've been looking like up until today."
The Bobcats (2-0, 0-0 Northeast Conference) struck first as returning scoring leader, senior guard Felicia Barron, opened the first half with a bucket from three-point land, 29 seconds into the game. Barron, who is a native of Springfield and the 2008 Gatorade High School Women's Player of the Year for Massachusetts, led Quinnipiac with 26 points on the night.
The Minutewomen's quick transition passing helped kick start an offense led by Timbilla and Watson, who had 17 points each, but UMass erased deficits only to fall behind again and again throughout the match.
Trailing 40-35 at halftime, the game looked like a tale of two halves as the Minutewomen stormed back to knot the contest at 55-55 on a layup from Watson with 11 minutes, eight seconds left to play in regulation.
The momentum did not last long, as the Bobcats capitalized on UMass' misses from the field, adding 41 points in the second half to the Minutewomen's 37.
Although the outcome was not what she wanted, Harris said that the game experience gained by stepping in for Mital will help her development, and makes her hungry for victory.
"It wasn't much of a pressure (thing)," Harris said. "But (it was) wanting to step up and do as well as Mital does, 'cause like coach says, she's a key player and I agree that with her we would've won tonight's game. It was good experience, but it would've been nice to win."
