A Quick Guide To Business Travel
This story appears in the June 1998 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Business travel is considered exciting and glamorous--but mostly by those who don't have to travel on business. The reality is that business travel can be grueling. It's hard on the back, hard on the family, and increasingly hard on the wallets of entrepreneurs without fat corporate expense accounts to rely on.
In our fifth annual Business Travel Awards, we highlight the best products and programs offered by travel service suppliers that have focused on small-business owners whose travel expenses come right out of their own pockets.
This is not a ranking or a formal survey; it is a recognition of companies that consistently offer value-conscious travelers affordable options. If it weren't for some of these providers, many small-business owners would be unable to fly across the country or find an inexpensive night's sleep in a big city.
The following pages are packed with tips and information to help you save money and endure fewer headaches and hassles. So if you want to get the most from your business travels, read on!
Electronic Avenue
Despite the recent hype over making travel arrangements online, most people are still using the Web primarily as a research tool. The best way to make your reservations generally depends on the type of traveler you are and the nature of your trip. Booking online works well for simple trips to familiar places, but you'll still need to contact a live human travel agent for complicated itineraries or trips with possible last-minute changes, upgrades or cancellations.
There are two main places on the Web to make travel arrangements. First are airline Web sites--almost all now allow travelers to buy tickets online. As an incentive to try this option, many airlines routinely offer frequent flier bonuses to online bookers. But like a call to an airline's toll-free number, when you make reservations on an airline's Web site, you don't have access to other airlines' flight and fare information.
The other place to book travel online is at travel agent sites. These sites are full-service travel agencies offering more than just flight availability, fare information and booking capabilities for a variety of airlines. They are also replete with destination information, computerized mapping and directions, restaurant reviews, and links to car rental and hotel booking sites. Plus, if you run into trouble online, there's usually a toll-free number listed so you can speak to someone to untangle your reservation. Some sites to check out include: http://www.thetrip.com, http://www.biztravel.com, http://www.expedia.msn.com, http://www.travelocity.com or http://www.itn.com
Special Agents
Travel agents are people, too--which means some are good and some aren't. Finding the right one to handle all your travel needs takes time and effort. First, determine the type of business services you require from an agent, as you may not use the same one for your business travel needs as you do for your vacations. Ask business contacts, friends or consultants for referrals.
Once you have a short list of agents to talk to, set up meetings with each. Interview travel agents the way you would interview job candidates: Find out how long they've been in business and how familiar they are with your specific travel needs. Above all, you need to feel comfortable with this person. And like finding a good doctor, lawyer or accountant, when you find a good agent, stick with him or her--it will free you up to concentrate on running your business.
Baggage Check
Just like a new pair of shoes, the luggage you choose can make your travels more comfortable or literally give you blisters. And like a good pair of shoes, most durable luggage is not cheap. Some tips when researching luggage:
- Look for bags with heavy-duty stitching, zippers, metal buckles, and padded handles and shoulder straps. Thick ballistic nylon, leather or a combination of the two are your best bet. Opt for dark colors that don't show scuffs easily.
- Bags with a good set of wheels are one of the best options for getting around airports quickly. These "roll aboard" suitcases with built-in wheels and an extension handle score high with most travelers, but beware of the strict carry-on policies now being imposed by most airlines regarding size and number of pieces.
- To identify your suitcase among the sea of bags on the conveyor belt, tie a piece of colorful ribbon or yarn to the handle.
Spaced out
These days, airplanes seem to be packed tighter than ever. All that uncomfortable togetherness requires a new set of manners. Keep these tips in mind the next time you board a plane:
- Obey rear-to-front boarding instructions, especially if you have any unwieldy carry-on bags.
- Use the space above your seat for your carry-on bag; if that area is full, stow your bag above the rows ahead of you. This prevents you from going against traffic when retrieving your bag when the plane has landed.
- Do your best to avoid blocking the aisle when stowing your bag in the overhead bin. If you're having a problem, let other passengers get by.
- When stowing a large or heavy bag in the overhead bin, remove any soft items, such as coats or jackets, already placed there. Then replace them, neatly folded, on top or alongside your bag.
- Place heavy, breakable or possibly leaky items under the seat in front of you, not in the overhead bin.
- Help short or weak passengers stow their bags.
- If you need assistance, politely ask the flight attendant and be patient, especially during boarding.
- Remember, under-seat storage means under the seat in front of you--not under your own seat. Bulkhead seats (facing the wall) don't have any under-seat storage space.
- If you've been dragging a wheeled bag over dirty or wet floors, try not to place it near pillows, blankets or oats stored in overhead bins.
Instant Delay
Face it: There will be times when Mother Nature just won't cooperate with your travel plans. So when a storm is either looming or in full force, here are a few travel tips:
- If the weather looks pretty fierce before you leave for the airport, call and find out the status of your flight. Don't call the airline's toll-free numbers for updates--you'll be put on hold for too long. Call your travel agent or the airline's automated flight arrival and departure lines, or log on to the airline's Web site, most of which broadcast real-time flight arrival and departure information.
- If bad weather is likely, you might not want to check out of your hotel or leave home until you've found out the status of your flight. Keep your eye on the Weather Channel (on television or the Web site at http://www.weather.com) to determine if a storm is brewing in your area or the area where you're headed.
- If you're already at the airport and departure looks unlikely, try to make a reservation at a nearby hotel that offers free shuttle service. Don't wait too long because airport hotels book up fast when flights are canceled.
- If you simply can't miss an out-of-town meeting or presentation, consider leaving the night before, particularly during bad weather months.
- If bad weather looms, bring along a snack. Many airports caught off-guard have been known to run out of food during prolonged weather delays. Dried fruit and nuts are nutritious, don't take up a lot of space and don't spoil.
- If your flight has been delayed or canceled, don't wait in line with everyone else to rebook. Instead, go directly to a pay phone and call the airline's toll-free line to rebook. Using the same computer system, agents on the phone can do almost everything that gate agents can do.
- If your flight is going to be delayed a few hours, buy a day pass to one of the airline clubs (usually $25 to $50). Agents inside the clubs can assist you with reticketing or rerouting.
- Unexpected cancellations that may force you to use another carrier could present problems if you have an electronic or ticketless reservation. You must first obtain a paper ticket from the original carrier before making arrangements with another airline.
There's A Place
Looking for a comfortable hotel that won't blow your business travel budget? If you want to spend less than $100 a night (and still get a decent room), you'll have to sacrifice prime downtown or central locations and opt for a hotel that's on the perimeter of the city. It's not a total sacrifice, however, because some of the newer budget hotels in the suburbs easily outperform their city competitors--for about half the price! These hotels generally offer only limited service, which means no late-night snacks from room service or in-hotel restaurants. Most are located next to or very near a reliable family-style restaurant chain, however.
When looking for a good but inexpensive room, ask about business traveler rooms and rates. Many of the budget hotels now offer large desks, desktop power outlets, ergonomic chairs, speakerphones with data ports, free copies, incoming faxes and access to meeting rooms, as well as in-room coffee makers and a free continental breakfast.
Some well-known inexpensive chains include Fairfield Inn by Marriott, Holiday Inn Express, Budgetel (changing all its properties' names to Baymont by November), Microtel, Red Roof Inn and Sleep Inn. Most are relatively new and offer rooms in the $40 to $70 per night range.
If you're looking for a hotel with a few more perks, try Courtyard by Marriott, Hampton Inn, La Quinta Inn or Wingate Inn. Rooms run in the $58 to $100 range and offer conveniences like business centers, meeting space, free local calls, free breakfast, large in-room work areas and modern phone systems.
Entrepreneur's 1998 Business Travel Awards
Best Domestic Low-Fare Airline: AirTran Airlines
While other low-fare carriers are going out of business, feisty AirTran continues to grow by adding destinations and reducing fares throughout the eastern half of the country. AirTran serves both major metropolitan areas and small towns (38 total) from its hubs in Atlanta and Orlando, Florida. Last March, it announced a frequent-flier program that offers free trips on AirTran or 14 other U.S. carriers. That's in addition to offering business-class seats at the front of the plane that are no different from first-class seats on any other airline for just $25 more than its low walk-up fare. While the airline's fleet primarily consists of older DC-9's, it has purchased 50 new Boeing 717s that will be delivered starting next summer. ValuJet, which merged with AirTran last year, won Entrepreneur's award for Best Domestic Low-Fare Airline in 1996. For more information or reservations, call (800) AIR-TRAN or visit http://www.airtran.com
Best Trans-Atlantic Business Class: Continental BusinessFirst
A trip across the Atlantic can be as grueling as it is exciting, especially when you're traveling on business. And when you're shelling out more than $3,000 for a business-class seat, it had better be worth it. Once again, Continental Airlines has what it takes to provide true value. Several years ago when Continental was mired in bankruptcy, it had a vision: Despite the cost, it installed the roomiest and most comfortable business-class seats available on its airplanes. And the investment paid off. For the past five years, Continental's BusinessFirst cabin has been recognized by Entrepreneur and others for giving business travelers exactly what they want: a wide, cozy, electronically controlled seat; a good entertainment system; ample meals; a place to work; and award miles in a valuable frequent-flier program. And now that business is heating up south of the border, Continental offers BusinessFirst on flights to Bogotá, Colombia; Lima, Peru; Quito, Ecuador; Santiago, Chile; and Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil. For more information, call (800) 231-0856 or visit http://www.flycontinental.com
Best Trans-Pacific Coach Class: EVA Airways
Like Virgin Atlantic, Taiwan-based EVA Airways knows that a transoceanic flight can wreak havoc on a business traveler. And since business travelers typically pay more than vacationers, EVA has come up with an additional class of service called Evergreen Deluxe Class. For slightly more than the cost of an economy ticket, EVA gives Evergreen Deluxe passengers a wider, softer seat with leg rests, extra legroom, and an individual seat-back-mounted video system with six channels--handy on those 10- to 12-hour trans-Pacific odysseys. All flights stop in EVA's Taipei hub for connections to many other Asian capitals. EVA's younger-than-average jets touch down in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, New York City and Honolulu. For more information, call (800) 695-1188.
Best Midpriced Hotel Chain: Hampton Inn
What's best about Hampton Inn? Consistency. At the more than 750 Hampton Inn hotels in North America, Chile, Costa Rica and Thailand, you can always expect a good night's rest at a reasonable rate. The hotels are located in high-traffic areas near full-service restaurants. All offer a free breakfast served daily in the hotel lobby, meeting space, free newspapers, pools and exercise rooms; all rooms include phones with data ports, coffee makers, irons and ironing boards. Since 1989, Hampton Inn has offered a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. In terms of value for dollars spent (on average, $65), a Hampton Inn is about as good as it gets. For more information, call (800) HAMPTON or visit http://www.hampton-inn.com
Best Trans-Atlantic Coach Class: Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy
Virgin Atlantic continues to grab our attention because it seems to be the only airline flying across the pond that is focused on making the long, cramped coach-class journey as painless as possible. Other airlines have given up on providing even a modicum of comfort and seem more focused on filling up the cabin than making it hospitable.
Virgin's most laudable effort is its Premium Economy section, which separates business travelers (those on higher full-coach fares) from backpackers and families. It's amazing what a little seat-shifting can do.
Virgin's Premium Economy offers a few more inches of leg and hip room and various goodies passed out by attentive and fun flight attendants who obviously love their jobs. For more information, call (800) 862-8621 or visit http://www.fly.virgin.com
Best Low-Priced Hotel Chain: La Quinta Inn
One of the most important features to look for in a budget hotel is the age of the property--or the date of its last major renovation. At the 270-plus La Quinta Inns, you'll find a less-than-3-years-old $120 million revamp of all 33,000 rooms. That means new bathrooms, drapes and carpet, phones with data ports, and brighter lighting.
La Quinta offers a free breakfast, free local calls, an oversized desk, a recliner, a swimming pool, space for small meetings and an adjacent restaurant--all for an average price of $58 per night. Like many other hotel chains, La Quinta offers a 100 percent customer satisfaction guarantee: If you're not happy with your stay, you don't pay. For more information, call (800) NU-ROOMS or visit http://www.laquinta.com
Best Hotel Value, New York City: Apple Core Hotels
These days, finding a value-priced hotel in New York City is almost impossible. Fortunately, a small chain of hotels is capitalizing on the cost-conscious mind-set of entrepreneurs. Apple Core Hotels renovated five centrally located, older boutique-style hotels and offers rooms at outstanding prices. All rooms feature cable television, phones with data ports, voice mail, coffee makers, irons and ironing boards. The average rate of $79 to $199 should appeal to value seekers. For more information, call (800) 567-7720 or visit http://www.applecorehotels.com
Best Hotel Value, San Francisco: Joie de Vivre Hotels
For the ideal combination of low rates and personality, try the offbeat but upscale 12-property Joie de Vivre chain. If, like many business travelers, you've grown weary of the tour bus and convention crowds that dominate the ever-popular City by the Bay, a stay at one of these small boutique-style hotels is like finding an oasis in the desert. While the properties have a whimsical style more befitting a weekend getaway than a business trip, most offer amenities that will help you get the job done during the week (some supply in-room laptops with Internet connections, printers and voice mail). The hotels offer all this at rates that start at $79--very inexpensive by San Francisco standards. And Joie de Vivre even offers corporate rates to repeat guests from small companies. For more information, call (800) 738-7477.
Best Hotel Value, Chicago: Hotel Allegro Chicago
Go ahead and indulge a little on your next trip to the Windy City. The upscale--but not uptight--Hotel Allegro is just the place to do it. Managed by the San Francisco-based Kimpton Group (winner of Entrepreneur's Business Travel Award for Best Hotel Value, San Francisco, in March 1996), the new Hotel Allegro Chicago offers 483 bright and funky rooms complete with CD players, honor bars, two-line speakerphones, hair dryers, irons and ironing boards. The hotel boasts "312 Chicago," a full-service bar and restaurant; an on-site fitness center; and plenty of meeting space. Rates start at $125--not bad for a new upscale hotel inside the Loop. For more information, call (800) 643-1500.
Best Car Rental service: Thrifty Car Rental
Once again, Thrifty Car Rental wins our praise as the car rental company most focused on small-business owners. Its combination of low rates, frequent-flier program tie-ins, multiple locations and efficient customer service comes without all the unnecessary bells and whistles offered by the major car rental companies. After five years of Thrifty winning this award, we can only find two faults: Thrifty agents seem overly zealous in trying to sell usually unnecessary collision insurance, and the company has recently imposed a few rate-expanding fees (like additional driver fees) that catch mostly happy repeat customers by surprise. Still, Thrifty is highly recommended. For more information, call (800) FOR-CARS or visit http://www.thrifty.com

Review: Low voltage modules can be fast
This article is available in German.
After Intel caused a stir for module makers by demanding lower voltages, DDR3 modules at 1.65V became the most common memory type. Now the module manufactures raised the bar by introducing 1.35V modules which do not run only at normal speeds, but are designed to please the overclocker crowd.

Devices with a triple TwinTuner receive digital TV and radio programs via DVB-S2, DVB-C and DVB-T2 (H.265/HEVC). All tuners are integrated twice. Thus, you can receive several programs at the same time. That's how it is possible for you to watch one program while you record another.
Fitted with comprehensive IP functionalities, this unit permits access to interactive services, media libraries, free browsing on the Internet, calling-up "Video-on-demand" services and use of HbbTV applications. (HbbTV is a technology that allows access to channel-related Internet content while watching TV.)
Interactive additional services and additional information about the current channel via internet
This extended electronic programme information service (ePID) allows TechniSat to offer a free current and comprehensive overview of a large number of channels. The programme preview extends up to seven days and has been extended to include a search function, a sorting function for genres and (with satellite reception) picture material on selected programmes. The timers can be activated quickly and easily via SiehFern INFO Plus.
The free TechniSat channel list manager does away with tedious manual channel scanning. When channels change frequency or switch on/off, this service provides an automatic way of updating the list of channels available. This process runs if you have agreed to updating. Customised lists are retained and amended where necessary.
When using the TV for the first time you must create a few important settings (specifically adaptation to local conditions). Clear instructions from the installation wizard provided by TechniSat guide you through easy-to-understand dialogues, enabling you to carry out the required configuration easily and rapidly. Your TV will therefore be ready for use in a short time.
TechniFamily can be used to set up password-protected user profiles. Customised access options and restrictions can be defined for each profile, e.g. for selected channels, daily television viewing times and a maximum duration of use. In this way parents can adjust viewing behaviour as appropriate for the child.
Detection of broadcast time postponement in DVR mode
This TV also enables you to receive encrypted channel content requiring payment (Pay TV). To receive Pay TV, you need a subscription to the relevant Pay TV provider.
This TV can be easily integrated into a home network via the integrated Ethernet interface (with optional additional WLAN adapter), enabling various multi-media devices such as a PC, TV, hi-fi, digital cameras and much more to be interconnected by UPnP/DLNA.
HTML5-based video-on-demand services such as YouTube can be used on ISIO devices thanks to integrated HTML5 support. As HTML5 video is the standard for integrating video on websites, there will be many additional HTML5 offerings available on ISIO receivers in the future.
Recorded programmes can be edited later via handy cutting and editing tools (e.g. to remove advertising slots).
For example, combination of analogue and digital cable channels in a channel list.
This receiver is compatible with all TechniRouter products. It supports SCR technology with the extended DiSEqC protocol as per European standard EN 50494. SCR (Satellite Channel Routing) is a technology that is used to transmit multiple satellite channels to a specified receiver at a unique frequency in a single cable system.
This free updating service from TechniSat keeps the software on your device up to date. As soon as enhancements or improvements to the operating software are available, the set carries out an automatic software update at the appropriate time (adjustable in the menu on the TV). This ensures a high level of future-security and a wider and improved range of functions.

Mustang MonthlyHow To Paint Body
How To Replace A Classic Mustang Headlight Switch
With the right technique and tools, it's easy to eliminate those flashing headlights.
The good news is that the on-and-off headlight cycling provides you with some measure of intermittent nighttime visibility. The bad news is that unless you replace your headlight switch soon, you'll find yourself driving down a dark highway with no headlights at all, putting your treasured vintage Mustang at risk. But there's more good news because it's relatively easy to replace an aging or faulty headlight switch, especially if you understand the procedure.
As Senior Editor Jim Smart pointed out in his informative "How to Troubleshoot and Service Headlight Switches" article in the June '10 issue, '65-'73 Mustang headlight switches are prone to corrosion as they age, which takes a toll on the switch contacts as heat builds through high resistance. Headlights are high-load electrical components, so they draw a lot of power, causing the switch to get warm. With new switches, the heat isn't a problem because the circuit breaker and contacts are clean with good continuity. But as switches get older, the heat causes the circuit breaker to do its intended job--cycle the headlights off and on. More powerful aftermarket headlights draw even more power than original-style headlights, exacerbating the problem.
If you experience flashing headlights, then it's time to replace your headlight switch. Thankfully, the procedure is fairly basic for vintage Mustangs. Here, Merv Rego at Classic Creations of Central Florida is replacing a faulty switch in a '66 Mustang, but the R&R is similar for other Mustangs.

MINNEAPOLIS — Robinson Cano homered for the third straight game and Phil Hughes gave up one run on six hits in seven innings, lifting the Yankees to a 7-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.
MINNEAPOLIS — Robinson Cano homered for the third straight game and Phil Hughes gave up one run on six hits in seven innings, lifting the Yankees to a 7-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.
Cano followed up a two-homer performance Monday by going 2 for 4 with three RBIs and Alberto Gonzalez had two hits and three RBI as well for the Yankees. New York has broken out for 17 runs in the first two games of the series to snap a five-game skid.
Hughes (4-7) struck out three and walked two and finally got some run support from his banged-up offense.
Samuel Deduno (4-3) gave up three runs on five hits in six innings for the Twins. Brian Dozier had a two-run double in the ninth, but the Twins couldn't get much going against Hughes and lost for the eighth time in 11 games.
Mariano Rivera got one out in the ninth for his 27th save.
Hughes entered the outing with three straight losses, tying the longest skid of his career. But the Yankees did not give him a single run of support in his previous two starts. Without injured stars Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson, the Yankees have struggled mightily to sustain any kind of offense.
They made up for it on Tuesday.
Cano is the only mainstay still standing, and he's starting to put this nameless lineup on his back. He has hit four homers in the last three games, the last one a 405-foot, three-run drive onto the veranda behind the right field bleachers that broke the game open in New York's four-run seventh inning.
But it was the light-hitting Gonzalez who got the Yankees started. Starting at shortstop for the injured Jayson Nix, Gonzalez had not driven in a run since joining the Yankees from the Chicago Cubs.
Gonzalez got on the board with a two-run double down the right field line in the fifth inning. Deduno then misplayed a slow roller up the first baseline from Ichiro Suzuki, bobbling the ball just before it was set to roll foul and allowing Gonzalez to score for a 3-1 lead.
Gonzalez then made a superb play in the field, running on a dead sprint with his back to home plate and laying out at the last second to snare a shallow pop fly from Joe Mauer that would have dropped in for a bloop single.
Mauer snapped an 0-for-18 skid with an RBI single in the third inning to get the Twins on top 1-0.
The Twins had a golden chance to extend the lead in the fourth inning when they opened with runners on second and third and none out. But Hughes steadied himself, striking out Chris Parmelee and Aaron Hicks and getting Pedro Florimon to groundout to end the inning unscathed.
Hughes only allowed two baserunners the rest of the way to pick up just his second victory since May 10.
Notes — The Twins gave Rivera a retirement gift in a pregame ceremony: a rocking chair made in part from broken bats with the inscription, "Chair of Broken Dreams." ... Nix did not play because of a sore right hamstring. He is day to day.

Game design document
Here's an imaginary path for each iteration of the game that I'm making. If you have any ideas that you would love to see in a game like this, I would love to know! I enjoy keeping the ideas quite freely moving and changing until I have to actually make that version.
Version 0.1
- A couple of planets, with gravity forces.
- A rudimentary ship with a thrust and mouse-controlled turning, that can collide with the planets
- In deep space, thrust is needed to accelerate or decelerate; thrust is also needed to land on planets else you die.
Version 0.2
- Static enemy turrets, that can fire lasers at the smuggler ship
- Smugglable resources and fuel on planets; cost money
- Multiple solar systems
- An exponential thrust system for the smuggler ship to quickly cover large distances
- Fuel supply and damage amount for smuggler ship
Version 0.3
- Other solar entities such as asteroids/ asteroid fields, stars, non-inhabitable planets – all cause damage to ship.
- large-scale enemy ships with AI to avoid asteroids and planets, and fire at the smuggler
- improved graphics 🙂 sound effects.
- Trade/ smuggling screens for each planet's resources
- save/ load games
Version 0.4
- Guns on the smuggler's ship
- Physics collisions with parts of smuggler's ship breaking off
- Modular repairs/ upgrades for smuggler's ship, with per-module damage amount.
- Small enemy ships with AI to chase the smuggler quickly and shoot at it.
- Directional boosters (left right up down) for smaller ships.
Version 0.5
- Ability to call for ally backup a limited number of times.
- Galactic map…
- Distinction between options of trading legal substances for less money or illegal substances with higher risks
- Nefarious pirate ships
Version 0.6
- Shady repairs, and occasionally vendors of 'legal' goods/ supplies, can screw you over.
- Shields/ cloaking devices that fail if you take damage
- Fuel stations and repair stations as well as planets
- Non -smuggling 'missions' – take down satellites, get bounty hunters/ assassins trying to kill you, team up with other smugglers and protect them from incoming fire, kill off other smugglers taking your business, low-level flying and bombing planets.
Version 0.7
- Ground level chases from tipped off police ships when loading/ unloading cargo
- Given option to switch sides if your ship crashes on a habitable planet – you start taking out other smugglers and shutting down illicit substance manufacturers.
- Buy planets to gain a steady income from illegal substances grown/ mined/ purified, but with high risk
- Possibly combat mechanics like slow motion, different weapon types
I'm trying to think of a catchier name for this project than "smuggler game". Do you have any ideas for a unique and interesting-sounding name? Thanks!

RENO, Nev. (AP) Deonte Burton scored 14 points, Jordan Burris chipped in with 11 points and seven rebounds and Nevada held on to beat San Francisco 59-51 on Saturday night.
Nevada (7-4) trailed the Dons 27-26 at halftime, but after Malik Story made a lay-up to give the Wolf Pack a 28-27 lead just 1:29 into the second half, Nevada never trailed again.
The Wolf Pack led by as many as 15 in the second half, but San Francisco (5-3) cut Nevada's lead to two after Cody Doolin hit a pair of free throws to make it 51-49 with 2:41 to play.
Nevada was 17 of 24 from the free-throw line, out-rebounded the Dons 45-30 and forced San Francisco to turn the ball over 18 times.
Cole Dickerson scored 11 points and had nine rebounds for San Francisco. Tim Derksen and Tao Xu each had 10 points.

We all know that it's hard to fit a workout into our schedule, so if you've been carving out time for a workout on a regular basis, that is something to be celebrated. But while it may seem counterintuitive, getting into too much of a routine can actually cause you to hit a plateau and not get the benefits anymore—or, worse, lead to injury.
How do you know when is the right time to overhaul your routine? Well, read below to learn the 5 most common signs of workout ruts along with tips on how to fix them. Remember always – you should get maximum benefits for the time and effort you put into your workouts.
Sign #1: You head straight for the treadmill (and that's all you do).
Of course hopping on the treadmill or the elliptical is a good thing. You get your heart rate up, burn calories, and crank out endorphins. But if you're going to the gym and just getting on a cardio machine, you're doing yourself a disservice. That's because you don't have a good balance between cardio, strength training, core exercises, and flexibility work. A well-rounded program is the key to maximizing your workout and seeing changes.
The fix: Incorporate a circuit into your routine. If you're trying to lose weight you'll benefit from adding in resistance training, because the more lean tissue you have, the more fat your body burns throughout the day. If you're used to walking 45 minutes per day, for instance, start by walking on the treadmill for 10 to 15 minutes, and then do a round of push-ups, squats, and alternating lunges. After completing the circuit, go back to the treadmill and walk for another 3 to 5 minutes, and repeat the circuit until you reach 45 minutes.
Sign #2: You find an excuse to leave the gym early. Every single time.
It's fine to plan for a couple abbreviated workouts here and there. But if you're constantly cutting them short and quitting too early, something's not right. If you go into a workout planning to do 4 sets of 12 reps of bench press, squats, pull-ups, and lunges, and then find yourself quitting after 3 sets or only getting 10 reps, because you just can't make it any longer, you're likely in a rut. Remember to refuel well – total exhaustion could be a sign that you're not fueling your body with the proper nutrients or getting enough sleep.
The fix: Take an honest look at your diet. It takes the right fuel for your car to run at its best, and the same goes for your body. Basic guidelines: You need to eat the right combo of proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables. Meals that emphasize fresh, unprocessed food and a few lean meats will give you a steady supply of energy. Another key: You need to get the right amount of sleep for your body to operate at its best.
Sign #3: You look at the clock after every exercise.
By constantly time-checking yourself, you're not getting into the flow of your workouts. When you're in the flow, you're in a state where outside distractions don't interfere with what you're trying to achieve. Chances are, if you're not in a state of concentration, you're simply bored with your current routine and need to shake it up a bit.
The fix: Completely change your routine. You don't have to totally shy away from the kind of exercise you love; it's simple to use what you like as a guide to find something new. And that's key because changing your surroundings is a great way to help you break out of a rut. If you're normally a runner you probably like solo sports, so try another individual activity like yoga. If you're a regular at spin, mix it up by scheduling a Zumba class. Never miss a tennis date? Give kickboxing, which incorporates partner work, a go.
Sign #4: You're not making any progress.
If your goal is to break an 8-minute mile and you just can't seem to get past 8:30, or you can't quite bench press your target weight but you're almost there, you may be in a rut. Something is holding you back from the results you want, and you need to make a change in order to make any headway.
The fix: First, make sure your goals are realistic. It's great to reach for the stars, but if it's not physically possible to touch those stars, you may need to reframe your situation. For example, maybe an 8:15 mile is a better place to start than that 8:00 mile. Once you reach that goal, you'll be spurred on to tackle the next challenge. If that doesn't work, seek professional guidance. A trained professional can help you reassess your goals and give you honest feedback. He can also develop a structured game plan to systemically work toward your goals.
Sign #5: Your body hurts.
If some is good, more is better, right? Not necessarily. If that's your mentality and you find yourself feeling tired throughout the day, having trouble sleeping at night, getting sick often, or having chronic pain, then you're probably overtraining.
The fix: Ask yourself if this is a program you can do for the rest of your life, because fitness is a journey, not a destination. If you continue to overtrain, your body will continue to break down, and you'll eventually have to stop.
A good rule of thumb: schedule regular rest days into your routine; taking one every 3 to 5 days is best. Also, get proper nutrition and sleep. And aim for a workout to last about 30 to 45 minutes, though that varies from person to person. It's important to understand that one size doesn't fit all when it comes to working out and recovery, so it's best to pay close attention to your body and listen to its needs.

kinda sucks that Vintage isn't included in this sale...Not like they have more accessories or thicker cardbacks like the other two lines.
It seems like most to all of the sales so far at the "big three" retailers has excluded TVC.

Ex-Soviet arms dealer gets 25 years
NEW YORK - A notorious Russian arms dealer dubbed the Merchant of Death has been sentenced in New York to 25 years in prison following his conviction on terrorism charges that grew from a U.S. sting operation.
Viktor Bout was sentenced Thursday. The judge also ordered a $15 million forfeiture.
The ex-Soviet officer had been jailed since his arrest four years ago in Thailand after he met U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration operatives posing as agents of a Colombian terrorism group. He was extradited to the U.S. for trial in 2010.
Prosecutors say the 45-year-old Bout was ready to sell up to $20 million in weapons including surface-to-air missiles to shoot down U.S. helicopters. They portrayed him as among the world's worst villains.
Bout has insisted he's a legitimate businessman. His lawyer says the case is "the product of outrageous, inexcusable government conduct."

Hello. I'm a first time poster...one week lurker :)
I have just been diagnosed with a 1.8cm Cavernous Carotid Aneurysm. My Cerebral Angiogram was 3 days ago. My neurosurgeon wants to do a stent (no coils) which I've come to terms with. My question is, the doctor used a StarClose closure, which I'm just finding out is made of Nickel and Titanium, and I have a sensitivity/allergy to Nickel. Has anyone who is sensitive or allergic to Nickel had this and had any issues or reactions withe StarClose? Of course the doctor says it's not an issue at all. I have a lot of autoimmune issues and a lot of food sensitivities as well.
I haven't looked into the PED Stent yet...I know it's a different metal but has anyone had any issues or allergic reactions to the stent?
Thanks so much. There is so much wonderful advice on this site!

Poor American Taliban (the republican party). They just can't seem to bring themselves to admit that it wouldn't matter who they put on the ticket this year, Americans are just fed up with cowboy-fascist-capitalism and are voting for Barack Obama and the Democrats running statewide and locally. Oh, but if you're Karl Rove and William Kristol, you can't admit this, but rather, blame the plumber, the housekeeper, the candlestick maker, and the staff instead:
And remember, when you realize John McCain has admitted to voting 90% of the time in favor of George Bush's economic & foreign policies over the last 8 years, make sure you don't confuse him with George. Okay?

Research Interests
My overarching research interest is the evolution of sociality. For over 25 years, my research has focused on the causes and consequences of sociality in one of our closest relatives, the gorilla. There are two species of gorillas and four subspecies. Gorillas are a particularly interesting species because they occupy a wide range of habitats across Africa and exhibit variation in their social structure, feeding ecology, and life history patterns. I am examining topics related to gorillas' ecology, social behavior, reproductive strategies, population dynamics, endocrinology, and genetics.
I started my research career in the early 1990's at the Karisoke Research Center, Rwanda, where I conducted my PhD research on the mountain gorillas initially habituated by Dian Fossey in the late 1960's. In 1998, I began my ongoing long-term research project in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda, where I am studying the other population of mountain gorillas. This is the second longest running research project on habituated gorillas in Africa. In 2005, I began a long-term project of western gorillas in Loango National Park, Gabon, where we are studying one group of habituated western gorillas. It has been a wonderful experience to observe habituated gorillas over such a long time period and in so many different forests inhabited by gorillas. It is also important to conduct research that can contribute to conservation efforts to protect these critically endangered great apes.
Specific topics include:
Feeding Ecology: How does the diet of gorillas vary according to food availability? How does food availability influence ranging patterns and habitat utilization?
Reproductive Strategies and Social Behavior: What strategies are used by males and females to maximize their reproductive success? How do dispersal patterns influence social behavior and group dynamics? How do ecological conditions influence social relationships? How do social relationships vary among males and females?
Population Dynamics: How do populations change in size and structure over time? How do particular factors influence the changes in a population, in particular, the ecological conditions, levels of human disturbance, as well as intrinsic factors? How do life history variables differ among individuals and what impact does this have on reproductive success?
Genetics: In collaboration with the genetics lab of our department, we are able to address questions concerning paternity, relatedness, as well as group size and structure.
Conservation: While science alone will not lead to protection of endangered gorillas, research should be an integrated part of any conservation strategy. Any research on endangered species should involve a conservation component. Therefore, I have collaborated with conservation groups working in the Virunga Volcanoes and Bwindi to carry out censuses of the gorillas so we can effectively monitor changes in their population size and the impacts of conservation strategies. Additionally, we conduct projects concerning their demography and patterns of habitat utilization, which provide useful information to assist with park management practices. I also run a collaborative conservation education program (the Bwindi Ape Conservation Education Partnership, with the North Carolina Zoo and the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo) in which we work with four primary schools bordering Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda.

Hey everyone!
I must admit…..I have been a slack blogger these past weeks! But I will also admit I have been one very busy little girl, and I have a doozy of a blog post to share with you all!
I will start with the scheduled post of mine that didn't publish. It was my submission to the Inkspiration Challenge #85. That little post disappeared into cyberspace and never to return!! LOL! So I apologise for any inconvenience for this little mishap.
I wasn't totally happy with my card and after I completed it I was like "Oh, I could have done this" or "This would have looked better". LOL! I have a lot of cards like these, but you know what? It is growing on me. I used one of our new 2011-12 In Color's, Pool Party and a new Stamp Set available to hostesses only, Ain't Love Grand, plus one of our new punches, Lace Ribbon Border. This past week a heap of new goodies have arrived on my doorstep and I will show you what I have created over the next few days.
Next up I have some pics of my Catalogue Launch……all three of them. LOL! I held two in Gatton and one in Toowoomba. All one day after the other, the only way to go. I don't think I got any pics of event number three but it was similar to event number one!
The first one was at my home in Gatton-
The next was in Toowoomba-
As you can see I used the same samples for each, but they look so different in each environment. My little tree was a hit, and you might recognise it from the new catalogue. I didn't get my new order in time so I made do with what I owned and created similar cards to suit. I totally enjoyed these events and so did the girls. I failed miserably to get shots of the girls from Gatton, which I am sure they are happy about lol, but I did get some of the Toowoomba girls, bar a couple of shy ones!! LOL!
Okay the last event is the doozy, the hum dinger, the event of all events. The Brisbane Papercraft Festival. It is a three-day event at the RNA Showgrounds, which is usually held in February but due to the floods earlier this year was pushed back to September. My upline Madonna Dunn was the coordinator behind this and did an awesome amount of work to make this happen for us. Thanks Mads! I only managed to do one day out of the three but I was able to spend a full day with Mads previous to the event to make a heap of samples. It was agreat day too, lots of side-splitting laughter and food (thanks Mark)….oh and some crafting!
Here is a pic of the display-
Isn't it fabulous?! I Love the big butterfly colour display, that was Mads creation. You might even recognise my little butterfly tree in there too.
We all took turns at demonstrating, talking and helping with the make and takes. My demonstration was on punch art. I made some cute owls and flowers. It seemed to be popular and people were looking at the Owl Builder punch in a whole new way! I also got to meet some lovely ladies who, would you believe it?, love to stamp. I love that.
Anyhow, that's what I have been up to. Now I hope to sit down for a few days and create madly with all my new goodies! Would you like to see my stash?? What a silly question.
Any requests?? LOL!

If you're to have any hope of enjoying "Sanctum," it's important to go in knowing that it's not really a thriller or an action/adventure film. It is essentially a haunted house/horror film, in which the bodies drop in an impressive variety of ways.
The film stars Ioan Gruffudd as Carl, a billionaire playboy who is funding an expedition to explore an underground river in Papua New Guinea. Carl's a jerk, a blowhard, the kind of guy who tells his team leader, Frank (Richard Roxbugh), "You're ass is so tight, when you fart only dogs hear it."
The script, such as it is, was written by Andrew Wight, who's been producing dozens of documentaries over the years about the outdoors and the watery depths. But he's never before written a story or characters, both of which are dearly lacking here.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Like Carl, most everyone in the film is a macho, reckless, self-absorbed tool—even the women. And the threat to life is so constant, it become numbing. It's like America being perpetually at Threat Level Orange—after a while you get "alertness fatigue."
With James Cameron serving as executive producer, one might reasonably assume that director Alister Grierson would make use of all the magnificent toys his boss has developed over the years for filming aquatic epics. But, though there are some beautiful shots of "St Jude's Cathedral," they are few and far between. Rather than take the time to gaze in wonder, the film is too concerned with putting you on the edge of your seat or killing someone.
And because the film is mostly rushing water and panicked divers, the IMAX 3D feels wasted. Instead of giving you a great spectacle, the 3D serves to mostly induce motion sickness and claustrophobia. Who knows, maybe that sounds like fun to you…
With no real story or anyone to root for, "Sanctum" devolves into a guessing game: Who will survive this joyless, unimaginative exercise in death? It's not too hard to guess.
"Sanctum" opens Feb. 4, click here for a complete list of theaters where it can be seen in IMAX 3D

Judge Overturns $147.2 Million Jury Award Against RIM
from the there-it-goes deptJust a few weeks ago, we wrote about RIM getting hit with yet another crazy patent infringement award, after a jury sided with Mformation and told RIM to pay $147.2 million. However, as often happens in these kinds of cases, RIM then sought a judgment as a matter of law (JMOL) -- effectively a finding from the judge that, even though a jury ruled one way, it did not have enough evidence to do so. Those aren't often granted, but in this case... the judge dumped the jury verdict.
After considering motions presented by both parties, as well as the jury verdict (which was announced by RIM on July 14, 2012), the Judge determined that RIM had not infringed on Mformation's patent. In granting RIM's motion, the Judge also vacated the $147.2 million jury award, which means that RIM is not required to make any payment to Mformation.Mformation can (and almost certainly will) appeal, though a successful appeal would just take things back to square one, meaning a new district court trial.
Stories like this are why there have been some efforts made to get juries out of patent trials...

Police helicopter forced to land on HS football field
No one injured in emergency landing in Howard County
A police helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing on Wilde Lake High School's football field on Thursday night.
Howard County police said the chopper was responding to a call when mechanical problems arose while in flight, forcing it to make the emergency landing just after 11 p.m.
Officials said the pilot is a veteran officer and flight instructor and used night-vision goggles to make the landing, but the craft still suffered significant damage.
Howard County police released a photo of the damaged chopper showing the top of its tail rotor snapped off.
Officials said four officers were on board at the time, but no one was hurt.
Officials said all maintenance records were up-to-date on the aircraft. Federal inspectors are investigating. The helicopter was removed from the field via flatbed truck later in the day after a preliminary inspection by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA, and possibly the National Transportation Safety Board, will conduct further investigations next week. A cause for the mechanical problems remained unknown.

I WAS struck by one particular moment during President Obama's State of the Union address. The president proposed a $1 billion investment to build a new National Network for Manufacturing Innovation to spur high-tech manufacturing in America. I'm sure that would be helpful, and I'm sure the president will have to beg to get any such funding out of Congress. Yet sitting up there in the balcony listening to the president's speech was the chief executive of Apple, Tim Cook. Apple is currently sitting on $137 billion of cash in the bank. There are many reasons Apple has not spent its cash hoard, but I'll bet anything that one of them is the uncertain economic and tax environment in this country. Think about how much better we'd all be if Apple, and the many other companies sitting on cash, felt confident enough in the future to spend it. These are the most dynamic companies in the world. They don't need any government help to innovate.
Message: There is no doubt our economy is primarily being held back by the deleveraging and drop in demand that resulted from the 2008 financial crisis. But they are being reinforced today by uncertainty and worry that we do not have our political house in order and, therefore, our tax, regulatory, pension and entitlement frameworks are all in play. So businesses, investors and consumers all hold back just enough for us not to be able to move the growth and employment meters with any robust momentum. Sure, we'll throw money into the stock market if the only alternative is zero interest from bonds or banks, but it is not being recirculated with confidence in the long term. It's a tragedy. You can feel the economy wants to launch, but Washington is sitting on the national mood button. We the people still feel like children of permanently divorcing parents.
The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, conducted in mid-January, found that Americans see some signs of improvement but that "just over half of those surveyed said they were less confident about the economy as a result of the budget negotiations." The Journal article quoted Bill McInturff, one of the pollsters, as saying, "This is now Washington's economy. The problem in Washington is ... contributing to a very negative sense of what's going to happen in the economy." Richard Curtin, who directs the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan index of consumer sentiment, told me that his team regularly asks the consumers who are polled whether they've heard of any events impacting the economy — positively or negatively — without giving them any choices. Since August, the index has seen record numbers citing government paralysis as contributing negatively to the economy, including in the survey released Friday.
"People's incomes are so stretched," said Curtin, "that any additional uncertainty about how taxes or government spending might affect them has a big impact on their situation and how they plan for the future. ... There is real economic uncertainty out there." In addition, he said, historically, "people have always turned to Washington in times of economic crisis, but now they're losing confidence in the government's ability to reshape the economy, and that affects their buying and investing habits." People now think they have to "take more control themselves."
What to do? To be sure, the G.O.P.'s lurch to the far right has been more responsible for this paralysis than the Democrats, but Barack Obama is president. He wants to succeed. The country needs him to succeed. Therefore, he owes it to himself and to the country to make one more good shot at a Grand Bargain on spending, investment and tax reform before he opts for a strategy of trying to pummel the Republican Party, hoping that he can win the House for the Democrats in 2014 and then push through his second-term agenda unencumbered. I don't think the latter will be so easy, and I think the former would give the country so much more of a lift and the president so much more momentum to get the best ideas in his speech — like infrastructure, early childhood education and a trade agreement with the European Union — enacted.
TO have any effect, though, the president can't just say he is ready for "tough" decisions. He has to lead with his chin and put a concrete, comprehensive package on the table, encompassing three areas. First, new investments that would combine immediate jobs in infrastructure with some long-term growth-enablers like a massive build-out in the nation's high-speed broadband capabilities. That would have to be married with a long-term fiscal restructuring, written into law, that slows the growth of both Social Security and Medicare entitlements, along with individual and corporate tax reform. Obama has hinted at his willingness to do all of these. They should be agreed upon in 2013 and phased in gradually, starting in 2014. There are a lot of good bipartisan packages out there to choose from; we just need one that puts us on a trajectory to shrink our ratio of debt to gross domestic product over time. Otherwise, we will have little in reserve to fight the next economic crisis or 9/11 or Hurricane Sandy.
Our choice today is not "austerity" versus "no austerity." That is a straw man argument offered by both extremes. It's about whether we phase in — in the least painful way possible — a long-term plan that balances our need to protect the most vulnerable in this generation while funding the most opportunities for the next generation, and still creating growth. We can't protect both generations in full anymore, but we must not sacrifice one for the other — favoring nursing homes over nursery schools — and that's what we're on track to do.
A Grand Bargain now, rather than a meat-ax sequester, would offer stability for the long-term and maybe even a boost for the short term. "It would give people some reason to redeem their hope in their own economic future," said Curtin. "It would be such a relief for most consumers to see that the government was actively working as a cohesive unit toward the betterment of the economy."
After the whipping the G.O.P. took in the election, I believe there is now a group of Republican politicians and C.E.O.'s who would meet Obama in the middle, if the president showed he was ready to take on some of his base as well. If the president tries, and I am wrong, well, he'll have a few bad weeks. If I am right and enough Republicans meet Obama on a Grand Bargain, it would both split the G.O.P. between the sane conservatives and the certifiable crazies and give the president a real foundation for a truly significant second term.

I'm the meanest man that ever had a brain,
All I scatter is aches and pains.
I'm carbolic acid, and a poison face,
And I stand flat-footed in favor of crime and disgrace.
If I ever done a good deed, I'm sorry of it.
I'm mean in the East, mean in the West,
Mean to the people that I like the best.
I go around a-causin' lot of accidents,
And I push folks down, and I cause train wrecks.
I'm a big disaster, just goin' somewhere's to happen.
I'm an organized famine, studyin' now I can be a little bit meaner.
I'm still a whole lot too good to suit myself, just mean
I ride around on the subway trains,
Laughin' at the tight shoes dealin' you pain.
And I laugh when the car shakes from side to side,
I laugh my loudest when other people cry.
Can't help it, I was born good, I guess,
Just like you or anybody else,
But then I, just turned off mean..
I hate everybody don't think like me,
And I'd rather see you dead than I'd ever see you free.
Rather see you starved to death
Than see you at work,
And I'm readin' all the books I can
To learn how to hurt,
Daily Misery, spread diseases,
Keep you without no vote,
Keep you without no union.
Well, I hurt when I see you gettin' 'long so well,
I'd ten times rather see you in the fires of hell.
I can't stand to fixed, see you there all fixed up in that house so nice,
I'd rather keep you in that rotten hole, with the bugs and the lice,
And the roaches, and the termites,
And the sand fleas, and the tater bugs,
And the grub worms, and the stingarees,
And the tarantulas, and the spiders, childs of the earth,
The ticks and the blow-flies,
These is all of my little angels
That go 'round helpin' me do the best parts of my meanness.
And mosquiters,
Well, I used to be a pretty fair organized feller,
Till I turned a scab and then I turned off yeller,
Fought ev'ry union with teeth and toenail,
And I sprouted a six-inch stinger right in the middle of the tail,
And I growed horns,
And then I cut 'em off, I wanted to fool you.
I hated union every where,
Cause God likes unions
And I hate God!
Well, if I can get the fat to hatin' the lean
That'd tickle me more than anything I've seen,
Then get the colors to fightin' one another,
And friend against friend, and brother, and sister against brother,
That'll be just it.
Everybody's brains a-boilin' in turpentine,
And their teeth fallin' out all up and down the streets,
That'll just suit me fine.
Cause I hate everything that's union,
And I hate everything that's organized,
And I hate everything that's planned,
And I love to hate and I hate to love!
I'm mean, I'm just mean
