Men's Basketball Falls to College of Charleston, 76-75, in Overtime Thriller
Friday, March 01, 2002Charleston, S.C. (Mar. 1, 2002) -- College of Charleston's Mike Benton blocked a game-winning shot attempt by East Tennessee State's Tiras Wade with 0.8 seconds remaining in overtime to secure a dramatic 76-75 Cougars' victory Friday in the nightcap of the quarterfinal round of the 2002 Mountain Dew Southern Conference Championships before a crowd of 5,859 at the North Charleston Coliseum. Charleston senior guard Jeff Bolton tallied a career-high 33 points for CofC, which improved to 3-0 in overtime games this season. The point total was the highest by a Cougar since Donnelly McCants poured in 40 against UNC Asheville on Jan. 8, 1990. "I didn't get a rebound in the overtime and wanted to do something," Benton said of his game-winning block. "I jumped with him and got the block." Charleston moves on to a Saturday semifinal matchup at 8:30 p.m. with Furman, a 73-70 winner over Georgia Southern. The CofC victory guaranteed that for the first time in league history a team without a first-round bye will advance to the tournament finals. Leighton Bowie posted 17 points for the Cougars, who improved to 21-8 with the win. East Tennessee State's Wade led four Buccaneeers (18-10) in double figures with 24 points. Jerald Fields added 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Bucs, while Childress finished with 16 and Ryan Lawson had 15. "In 38 years of coaching, this is one of the hardest and most physical battles that I've been a part of," said College of Charleston Head Coach John Kresse. "East Tennessee State played so hard and so aggressive and is so geared to making every stop of their lives like we do." Charleston jumped out to a 19-7 lead early on and led by as much as 15 in the first half before ETSU mounted a comeback. The Bucs opened the second half on a 14-2 spurt, grabbing a 45-40 lead on a Fields' three-pointer at the 14:18 mark. They led by as much as five with 2:51 remaining before CofC responded with five straight to knot the game at 62-all with 1:46 left. Bowie's three-point play gave the Cougars a 66-64 lead with just 1:12 left. The teams swapped possessions before Fields forced overtime on a putback of a Dimeco Childress missed jumper with 1.2 seconds remaining in regulation. The game featured nine lead changes and six ties. "We came out of nowhere to put this thing together but it just wasn't to be tonight," said Bucs' head coach Ed DeChellis. "We just made some mistakes that young guys make. This is the worst loss that I've had at East Tennessee State. This is the one that hurts the most. I can't really tell you why, but this is a tough one."

Racquet Rebels Tommy Haas and Richard Gasquet each won HEAD-to-HEAD finals, with both moving closer to possible spots in the season-ending ATP World Tour Championships in London. The 35-year-old Haas rolled back the clock as he beat Robin Haase 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 to win his second title at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna. Gasquet made a successful debut in Moscow with his win over fellow Racquet Rebel Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan 4-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Haas, 2001 Vienna champion, won the 15th title of his career. "I'm very happy obviously," said the German who recommends the YouTek™ IG Prestige. "Winning a title doesn't come around that often, so it's a great feeling having done it twice this year. This is really a special place for me."
The Dutch Haase, who also endorses the YouTek™ IG Prestige, had been hoping for a third title in Austria after winning Kitzbuehel in 2011 and 2012. "It was back and forth at the start," said Haase. "It was a final and we were both perhaps a bit nervous. I got a better groove going and moved up a set and a break. I played some loose errors and he got back in the match, taking the initiative."
Gasquet, who recommends the YouTek™ IG Extreme, earned his third trophy of 2013 and tenth of his career. He has passed to eighth in the race to London. "I really enjoyed my performance in Moscow and I want to come back here next year to defend my title," said the HEAD champion. "This is one of the most successful seasons in my career but the race to London is not over yet and I now need to concentrate on my further playing to get there."
The 102-ranked Kukushkin, who endorses the YouTek™Graphene Speed, was playing his second ATP-level final in Moscow. He won St. Petersburg Open in 2010 by beating fellow HEAD ace title Mikhail Youzhny of Russia.
In Moscow women's doubles, HEAD's Svetlana Kuznetsova teamed with Samantha Stosur to win the title over Alla Kudryavtseva and Anastasia Rodionova 6-1, 1-6, 10-8 (match tiebreak).

Perfect bookshelf, takes up very little room
This bookcase was pretty simple to put together (~15 mins for a handyman watching TV simultaneously) and looks great. Excellent color - matches the picture very well. The wood has a nice, solid, "real" feel to it. And the unit itself is very sturdy when up against the wall. Things to note: At the top of the unit (where the two legs lean against the wall) you are supposed to attach two white nylon ribbons - the purpose is to attach one end to a leg, and then the other to the wall. This is a smart idea, but only necessary if you have small children who might pull/climb on the unit. When leaning against the all, particularly with the shelves full, the unit is solid and sturdy. The shelves get progressively "shallower" as you move up the unit - the shelf at the top is only about half as deep as the shelf at the bottom. Keep that in mind as you consider what will go on this. Putting books on the bottom (too deep) or top (too shallow) shelves won't look right - the bottom will have too much wood shown between the edge of the shelf and the books, and using the top shelf will result in books sticking out over the edge. So long as you have the ability to stock the shelves with a variety of items, I'm sure it will fit into your room just as well as it fits in mine...for reference, my shelves contain (starting at the bottom): 1. Wireless printer 2. Excess DVDs and travel keepsakes 3. Books 4. Books 5. PicturesRead More
Not well made, Not same color
I bought these, because of the style I was looking for. When they came, they were a bit battered. Like they were tossed around. A bit of a furniture pen will fix the scratches, not enough to return them. However, one shelf, the lip was completely off, like it had been attached 3 inches off from where it was supposed to be. My father in law, actually took it apart, and wood glued it and set it with a clamp. A lot more work than I was looking for. Though the rest of the assembly was easy.Also, it says "Walnut" which would match the other pieces of furniture in my living room. These shelves look cherry next to the other pieces. They are a lot more red than the picture indicates.Read More
A nice solution to little items around the room
I bought this piece to tidy up my room, and it served its purpose great collecting the few picture frames I have and the mail holder. The shelves increase in width as you go lower so the bottom shelf is actually pretty spacious. It took me a while to assemble it myself though, since I tried to do everything on my own (the manual says you need two people). Pros: nice looking, practical, light weight. Cons: it is divided into two main pieces that you put on top of each other, and the part where the two pieces connect is kind of obvious. Also, when you put it on the wall, the two arms can leave marks on your wall where the shelves lean. Overall a very good purchase, and I am happy with it.Read More
Shoddy construction, miserable assembly
I actually enjoy some assembly projects, but when I opened up the package and saw the small container of glue, my heart sank. The shelf is poorly designed, and the instructions are incomplete and confusing, so assembly was a nightmare. The materials are poor quality - the shelves themselves are soft plywood covered in some material to make them look like walnut, and the so-called "phillips screws" got stripped within 30 seconds of trying to screw them in. A lot of the dowels and screws did not fit correctly. About four hours later I finally got the shelf assembled, and it's shaky though I tightened all the screws. I am not sure what we can put on the shelf without it falling over. I really do not recommend purchasing this. We bought two and I'm considering returning the second one.Read More

How long would it take to post this to the UK?
Hi hazey1, for standard shiopping it could arrive within 7-12 business days. For express shipping it could reach there in 5-9 business days. For more information please review the shipping tab for more information. Thanks for shopping with us.
will this support a PC ?
NO...a vase....three books evenly spaced
Unless its a small laptop that you are going to put on the very bottom shelf.... I wouldnt use this to hold a PC. Mine has books, candles, picture frames, but I wouldnt risk balance to have it hold a PC.
I doubt it would support a PC. I was disappointed because I thought it was a stand alone, and it has to be supported by the wall. I have knick knacks and pictures on mine. Wouldn't buy again.
Each side piece of wood are actually made of two pieces and just held together by a small wood dowel. It will not hold anything too heavy on top for sure. I at least a dozen books on the second to the bottom shelf and it does fine. I dont think I would put a pc there, it is more for decorative purpose definitely not for heavier use as it would get with a pc even if it holds with the pc on the bottom shelf.
I agree with the other answers. It is great for books and accessories. A CPU could be placed on the bottom shelf if it lays flat.
Probably the only shelf that could support PC would be the bottom one - which likely makes no sense - as the others say - more for some books - I have my old school stereo system on it.
no way !!
It will not hold a PC
No - it is nice looking as a display for frames, light knick knacks but not for anything of weight...
I wouldn't suggest it. These shelves are not made to hold more than 2 pounds..
What are the dimensions of the boxes that this product is shipped in?
Hi stodola1, thank you for your inquiry. The dimensions are Height: 49 Width: 17 Length: 5. Thanks for shopping with us.
How high is the top shelf off the floor? I have a wall thermostat at 56"-59" off the floor and would like to fit it between the shelves.
Hi esparks02, thank you for your inquiry. The distance from the floor to the first (top) shelf on this item is about 60-1/4 inches.
I measured the one I have. The bottom of the top shelf is exactly 58.1 inchs from the floor so it would hit the top of your thermostat by almost an inch.
Can this be put in a bathroom? Is it protected against moisture?
The wood is sealed, so I think it would be fine in a steamy, but not wet, location.
No, I would not recommend it. no , not recommended.
If this is a large bath, it might do well, but I too would not recommend
It may not be specially treated for moisture, but I put this in a bathroom and it works great. Better width than some and a handy unit for displaying items or practical storage.
The Walnut tearbookcase item number11977035 Doyhey have itt in black, Thanks KATHY
Yes i attached the link below for the black one. Please let me know if you have any further question. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Five-tier-Antique-Black-Ladder-Shelf/2041992/product.html
where is this bookcase made Indonesia or China
Thanks for your interest, this bookcase is made in China.
What is the dimension from the bottom of the lowest shelf to the floor? I need to clear a baseboard heater.
About 5.25 inches
Are these sturdy enough to use as bookshelves, or mainly for decor?
Yes they are.
I would not put heavy books on it. Maybe a few hardbacks on each one, but not all the way across.
I agree with katinfl - not for books all the way across. I did small vertical stacks (3-4 paperbacks, or two hardbacks) of books on each shelf instead. Otherwise, I'd want to anchor the shelf to the wall...which is a custom job you'd have to do on your own since it comes with no anchoring system.
what is the shipping weight of this item?
At the time of shipping the item weighs 31 pounds.
What is the depth of each of the five shelves?
Dimensions of each shelf: Shelf A 23.5x6.5 in. Shelf B 23.5x8.5 in. Shelf C 23.5x11.5 in. Shelf D 23.5x13.5 in. Shelf E 23.5x16 in.

Republican congressional candidate David E. Vogt III took to Twitter over the Independence Day holiday to offer an apology for comments about his primary opponent, former Secret Service agent Daniel Bongino.
Both Bongino and Vogt, a Marine combat veteran who served in Afghanistan, are vying in next year's primary election for the District 6 seat held by Democrat John Delaney of Potomac.
On Wednesday, Vogt, of Brunswick, told The Gazette that while he respects Bongino, who lives in Severna Park, "I live in the district. I know what it means to fight for you, because I did. Dan can't say either of those things."
Vogt's comments drew fire on Twitter, particularly from Republican blogger Jackie Wellfonder, who was co-coordinator of Bongino's unsuccessful 2012 U.S. Senate run.
Wellfonder tweeted on Thursday that she was "pretty disappointed" that Vogt discounted Bongino's service and that she hoped Vogt would apologize.
Shortly thereafter, Vogt tweeted to Bongino, Wellfonder and another user that "I 100% respect Dan and his service," that "all I distinguished was the difference between those services" and that "the rest is confusion of intentions."
A few minutes after that, Vogt tweeted, "I respect [Bongino] and his service & apologize for the misconception. I am dedicated to an honest campaign based on issues."
Delany lives in Montgomery County, but not in District 6, which stretches north into part of Frederick County and includes all of Washington, Allegany and Garrett counties. Bongino's home is in Severna Park in Anne Arundel County, in District 4.
Vogt, who was born in Florida, now lives in Brunswick in Frederick County.
Bongino declined to comment on the matter Friday, telling The Gazette that such comments spoke more about his opponents than they did about him and that his service record is public knowledge.
"I don't think it's a mystery to anyone," Bongino said.
Bongino began his career with the New York Police Department in 1995, and joined the Secret Service in 1999.
From 2006 to 2010, he served on the presidential security detail, and was the lead agent responsible for President Barack Obama's visit to an active war zone in Afghanistan, according to his campaign website.
Vogt served in the Marine Corps from 2004 to 2012, and was named Marine of the Year by the Marine Corps Times in 2010.
He is a full-time graduate student at American Military University, and expects to complete a master's in political science in December.

The platform of power.
In mountain biking, people talk of privateers. That's most of the world — people who buy their own stuff. And when counting pennies, doing spreadsheet calculations, and analyzing cost-per-gram, the less flashy parts — the Chorus', Force's, and Ultegra's of the world, often provide 99% of the performance at 50-75% of the price. The Look Cycle Keo 2 Max fits in the performance without the price slot. It does everything that the Keo 2 Max Carbon does, just without the carbon-fiber pedal body.
One noteworthy feature of the Keo 2 is the stainless steel wear plate atop the center of the pedal body. This adds tremendous durability to the system as a whole. But Look did more than add a cap to its pedals. It redesigned the shape so that it's wider, amongst the widest clipless pedals around. This 57mm platform width increases the surface area that contacts the cleat to 340mm², but that doesn't affect the cornering clearance as the pedal body is narrower on the bottom.
Look also went to town on the pedal's axle. The diameter was increased to 12mm on the crank side for increased stiffness. Additionally, Look kept the stack height to a minimum, 15.7mm, which necessitated two roller bearings on the crank side and a needle bearing on the outside of the spindle.
The Keo 2 Max pedal bodies are made from a polyamide composite. The wear plate and axle are both stainless steel. The Q-Factor is 53mm, and it's able to be increased to 55mm with the use of a 2mm spacer that goes between the spindle and the crank (sold separately). The release tension is also able to be adjusted from 9-15Nm. There are three float options for the cleats: fixed aka zero float (Black) cleats, 4.5-degrees float (Grey) cleats, and 9-degrees of float (White/red) cleats.
The Look Cycle Keo 2 Max Pedals are available in the color Black, Black/green, Black/grey, Grey, White/red, and White.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've been using Look pedals for over 15 years. I've never had an issue with them in terms of functional. The only issues I've had with them is the float I needed as I add on the miles. Currently have 2 pairs , Look Keo Max and Keo Max2. I swapped out the spindles on my Keo Max2 and dropped 20 grams each or 40 total.
The red cleats feel great for me now. After my marathon, I really notice I needed more float. Perhaps alignment changes from running.
dumb question I suspect, but....
is the price for a pair, or per pedal?

That is a great question, and it happens more times then you would think. All of our pedals are sold as a pair. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to e-mail me. firstname.lastname@example.com

Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) was the foremost Christian scholar of the High Middle Ages and is today regarded as a "doctor" of the Catholic Church. No, Aquinas was not a materialist neuroscientist, but he understood the intimate interdependence of mind and body.
As an evolutionary biologist I am fascinated by the emergence of cognitive abilities that make us so distinctive from other living species. There are, however, risks in making up evolutionary "just-so" stories to explain the origins of complex human beliefs.

Dearborn County: Yesterday around 2 p.m. Senior Trooper Jimmy Wells was patrolling I-74 in Dearborn County when he stopped a 2010 Chevrolet Impala near the 164 mile marker eastbound for speeding. During the course of the traffic stop S/Tpr. Wells became suspicious of possible criminal activity and requested a K-9 unit. Officer Jacob Jump and his K-9 partner, Newby from the Lawrenceburg Police Department responded. Newby alerted on the vehicle and a subsequent search resulted in the discovery of approximately 50 pounds of marijuana. The driver, 32 year old Ashley L. Love of Indianapolis was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center. He is now facing a charge of Dealing in Marijuana-Over 10 Pounds a Class C Felony.
According to S/Tpr. Wells, the marijuana valued at approximately $50,000 was being transported from Indianapolis to Cincinnati.
Persons arrested are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

HEAD Skis 2013 / 14
Once again, HEAD's latest What's your limit? spot knows no limits.
From the podium to the peak. Two of the brightest stars of downhill skiing reunite.
Hermann Maier and Marco Büchel still ride HEAD. But now instead of racing each other, they ride together. And in the latest What's your limit? spot, we accompany these two gung-ho downhillers while they enjoy the ups and downs of their new passion: ski touring.
"When you love the uphill as much as the downhill." Who would have thought that Büxi and the Herminator could cope with the pace of ski touring? Still fit as fiddles, the Lichtensteiner and the Austrian scale mountain after mountain while enjoying the double fun of skiing both up and down hill. "Now we have two finish lines – one at the bottom and one at the top. And all the time in the world!" These two exceptional athletes are still pushing their limits, and still going beyond them.
Only their skis can keep up. And because success forges such a strong bond between racer and material, their skis are still HEAD. The only difference is that now they're also skiing up the mountain.
HEAD has created a touring ski with no compromise in downhill performance, so throughout their tours Marco and Hermann can focus completely on their need for speed. And as you'll see in the spot, they aim to be speedy even on the way up. Because when it comes to skiing, they still can't get enough. Just like HEAD.

I have been a loyal Sambas wearer for the last 9 years or so. A single pair of shoes last me a year and a half, and then I keep hold of them so I can have them as work shoes for activities such as mowing the grass or hiking in the mud. These shoes last forever, can slip on and slip off, look great, are very comfortable, and have a pretty good tread. I do a lot of walking and hiking, and I wear my Sambas through it all. I even played Tennis in my Sambas all through high school, and they were fantastic for that as well. I would not recommend running in Sambas, however; purchase actual running shoes for that. But overall, there is truly no better everyday shoe out there. ... read more
These updated Sambas look and feel great. My old Sambas were a little narrow and the arch support did not fit quite right. The new Sambas I purchased online a couple of months ago fit perfectly. The Adi logo on the back of the heel and on the top on the tongue add a dash of style to an otherwise plain shoe. They are comfortable enough to wear everyday, but are durable enough to be worn for indoor soccer as well. I highly recommend the Sambas and would purchase them again. ... read more
These were my third pair, because pairs one and two were fantastic. Unfortunately, these squeaked so much, I stopped wearing them. Opponents could literally hear me before they saw me! The squeak comes from the tongue rubbing against the upper. I checked my older Sambas, and the upper has a felt-like layer around the lace holes that prevents the tongue from making direct contact with the leather of the upper (an easy enough fix I hope to see in future editions). Although I would not recommend the ones I bought, I will be back; Adidas' customer service was great, and sent me a return slip so I can send them back for a 100% refund. Can't ask for more that that! ... read more
What I like best about the Sambas by Adidas is the flexibility they afford me when deciding which clothes to wear them with.I can throw on a caual pair of cargo shorts or a light or dark colored pair of jeans or khakis and the Sambas are a perfect match no matter what.The Sambas have that dressy sneaker look that appear to be a blend between a sneaker and a casual shoe ideally made for long pants.These shoes are also excellent for long walks. Very few sneakers are design to be three shoes in one.I'm a size 15, which meant I had to use the custimization option which goes up to size 21.Tried a 14 and these shoes do run true to size.I bought the white with black stripes. ... read more
I switched to Sambas because I was looking for shoe that looked sleeker than the Vans that I have been wearing for years. These shoes did not disappoint. From the moment I put them on, I felt transformed by how sharp these shoes look; they look amazing with ANY outfit (jeans, business casual, sports, etc.). They fit true to size in all respects and when they're all laced up, fit my feet like a glove. These are truly the best shoes that I have ever bought. I even like them so much, I'm not using them for tennis as I originally intended, and instead bought a completed different shoe instead so that these stay looking nice. In my opinion, don't hesitate, just buy. ... read more
I bought these shoes and they were great. However, like many other reviewers here, I found them to be quite squeaky. I am here to provide you with several solutions that will solve your problems. The squeakiness comes from the tongue rubbing against the sides of the upper around the collar area. In order to reduce and eliminate the squeaking, we must treat this particular area of the shoe. Here are several methods that have worked for me: 1. Put some Scotch tape on the top of the tongue. The different texture of the tape means that it doesn't rub against the leather collar of the shoe, thus eliminating squeaking. 2. Rub some lotion onto the upper part of the tongue. Just take some hand lotion and rub it into the top surface of the tongue. This will moisturize the leather and reduce squeaking. 3. Rub some Vaseline into the tongue. (Same method as #2) 4. Apply a small amount of water to the tongue and wear the shoes immediately. Walk around in them to work the water into the rubber and leather of the tongue and this should solve your problem. I hoped this helped. I have been a loyal Samba owner forever and just wanted to let everyone know that there is a fix for squeakiness! ... read more
Hey Guyz (and Gals of course) I have always been an adidas fan (for many things but mostly quality and price), but only started wearing sambas like 2 years ago after a recommendation from a friend. The shoe is sooooo awesome. Handles quite well, gives an excellent touch for ball handling, and still offers great protection (not from cleats, but from those players who like to stomp you with their heels...accidentally of course!). Anyhow, back to the shoe...I love them so much, that I already have 2 pairs and buying the third. This time I am going for the white with red adidas stripes (always been a white shoe fan). oh...and they live for ever. ... read more
I am a woman and this is my first pair of Original Sambas. I bought these because I needed a pair of stylish, warm in the winter, weekend flats. I'm usually a women's 9, and I bought these in a men's 8. These are now my go-to weekend shoes. They are comfortable, look great with jeans and as stylish as you can get in a pair of sneakers. They fit like a glove and hug my feet. I work in finance and during the week I have to wear heels, so these shoes are my weekend oasis. I have worn them hiking in Sedona and Christmas morning chasing down my brother's escaped dog. These are not my working out sneakers, but I can move fast and run in them if I need to. I'm back buying a pair for my 88-year-old grandmother, who tried on my shoes and loved them. They offer all the arch support and comfort of her doctor recommended shoes and are 1000 times cuter. ... read more
I've worn many shoes from many different companies over the years but one shoe has stood above the rest. There is nothing more worthy of being on my feet than the classic styling of the Samba sneaker. The classic black with white stripe color way looks good with nearly any outfit you throw at it and it helps that these shoes are very comfortable. Though perhaps not even great products are without their cons, and there is only one here. The shoe has a tendency to squeak, although its not very audible it is noticeable to the wearer. However, the squeak is easily trumped by the iconic design, and comfort. If you're in the market for a new sneaker go ahead and buy the Samba, for me it fit true to size. ... read more
I really like the shoe as a whole. It has a great look that goes along with my style, but it had a few downsides for me. When I first received them I was happy as can be, but after wearing them for around 10 minutes or so I started to notice that my heels were feeling a searing pain. They were rubbing the backs of my ankles raw causing severe blistering and it didn't stop for about 3 weeks. Once they get broken in they feel fine and extremely comfortable. It's just that the break-in period takes too long. But once you are finished experiencing the break-in stage, they will probably be the best pair of shoes you've owned. ... read more
These are good looking and generally nice shoes. However, to say they are "squeaky" is an incredible understatement. These shoes SCREAM with every single step. I wore them to work and one of my colleagues asked me if I could take them off becasue they were distracting her. I walked through a library and I thought someone was going to beat me up becasue everyone within 50 feet of me was giving me a death stare. Honestly, it's pretty comical how loud these shoes are. It became a running joke among my friends. It's like someone strapped some live cats to my feet and they are howling in pain every time I take a step. Luckily, I was able to solve this problem by putting some tape on the inside of the shoe where the tongue comes in contact with the rest of the shoe. ... read more
Bought my Sambas in 2009 and I have to say, these shoes are indestructible! They only show minimal wear and they look just as good as the day I bought them. These shoes go with anything and they work in all conditions. I've worn mine to work, worn them to music festivals, even whitewater rafting and they still look good and remain the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Can't go wrong with these. ... read more
I bought these online because I couldn't find them in white locally. I should have tried on the black ones in the stores to size myself up beforehand. I usually about a 9. But because these shoes are so narrow, I learned I needed to size up. They were also quite short in length for a 9. The 9-1/2 fits perfecly. Especially after having put some shoes trees in them for a couple days. The squeek is real, but I've had other shoes with the same problem. Vaseline works brilliantly. Just wipe some on the left and right side of the tongues with your finger and problem gone. So if you're worried about these because of a squeek, don't. These aren't shoes you're going to run a marathon in. They're not uncomfortable but I can't see myself trying to run in them. I wear them just for the casual style with jeans or chords. After having said that, I think they're a little expensive for what they are. But the sole and how it attaches to the show is durable and it's better than a lot of other shoes out there. ... read more
Simply put, Adidas Sambas are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I own 8 pairs. I'm a waiter in a high profile restaurant and every waiter at work now wears them. They last twice longer than any shoe any of us have ever worn. I cannot recommend the enough. ... read more
I was really looking forward to getting a pair of these again. I haven't had any since I was a teen. I tried on a pair with the large tongue at a local sports store and found them to run about 1/2 size too small (I'm a 10-1/2 and I had to buy 11's). So I ordered some from the Adidas website with the smaller tongue. The shoes are good quality, but squeak whenever I step. They are also a lot narrower than I remembered from trying them on. one design element I really don't like is the high back part cutting into my ankle. I'd like to see them lower it a bit. Overall: AVERAGE. I wish they had the Rom model in my size. I would have gotten those instead. ... read more

Defending World Champion Sebastian Vettel is not getting too carried away with the pace of the RB7. Rather believing that reliability will always be the key to success.
Vettel and Red Bull are tipped to be the ones to beat this year after impressing during pre-season testing.
"I felt immediately at home in our new car and it has shown excellent performance and reliability at all four tests," he told the official Formula One web site.
"Reliability, as always is the key to success, as it doesn't help to have a car that is one second quicker than the rest but never finishes the race. The fact is, that it is easier to make a fast car reliable than a reliable car fast, and we all know that the car we start a season with is not the car we finish with, so the second key to success is to constantly improve. We will get new parts at every race so our development speed should give us a break."
Vettel also insisted that the car feels good and believes that reliability is there. "What is true is that the car feels good and the reliability is there."
The World Champion was also quick to point out that he would not change his approach now that he is defending World Champion.
This year's Formula One season is set to be the most exciting with five World Champions in the field. It all kicks off with the 2011 Formula 1™ Qantas Australian Grand Prix next Sunday.

NAMI FaithNet Newsletter: January 2012
In This Issue:
A Jewish Understanding of Renewed Relationships
By Rabbi Sonja Starr, NAMI FaithNet Advisory Group
Religion in American culture is a unique, complex and dynamic institution. We like to think of the United States as a secular nation that is committed to a separation of "church" and state. Yet anywhere between 25 and 40 percent of all Christians attend church every weekend. Almost 90 percent of Jews are at one time in their lives affiliated with a synagogue. Christmas is a federal holiday. We like to say we are religious individuals in a secular country, but is that true? My experience says no.
During the last three years, I have had extensive personal experience with three very different Residential Treatment Centers (RTC). During this time I have been reminded of something I took for granted as a child growing up in Lancaster, Pa.: the United States of America is a Christian country regardless if there is an explicit mention of Jesus. Bias pervades our secular as well as religious institutions, including our medical professions. In order to provide people who are not Christian and battling mental illness a chance at a healthy recovery, I want to suggest that there is an urgent need for mental health professionals, including those who staff RTCs, to recognize that there is a Christian bias that undermines the likelihood of renewed health for Jews and all other non-Christians. My purpose in writing this article is to encourage dialogue and education and to urge advocacy for the needs and rights of all.
My son has spent time in RTCs in Maine, Utah and Maryland. In each place we, as people of faith, and members of a minority culture, as Jews, had to fight, advocate and negotiate for him to modify the Christian presumptions of the staff. "Isn't attending synagogue a choice in your family similar to playing soccer or not?" "Why would he have to keep kosher if he wants to return home?" "Couldn't he decide that this is an archaic, meaningless ritual that is up for negotiation in your home?" "Sorry, we don't have enough staff to get him to synagogue for the Sabbath or the major holidays like Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur." "Can't he just eat some ethnic food and attend church with all the other kids instead?" "Don't worry; when he attends church, the minister doesn't pray in Jesus' name—he just quotes from the Greek Bible." Some of these statements were explicit; some were implied. All were insidious and repeated and undermined any real discussion of family reunification. Coming home means being able to live cooperatively in one's family, which in our case is a Jewish environment as we understand it.
None of these insensitive comments compare with that of the underlying community-wide belief in the Christian story of the prodigal son. This story celebrates a father accepting without question or expectations a child who had emotionally abandoned if not abused him. Several of our son's therapists told us over and over again that it did not matter how many times he had abused us emotionally or physically; it was our duty as parents to accept him back without question or concern; after all, that is what God did, or at least how God was portrayed in this story.
I would like to offer a Jewish understanding of renewed relationships. Essential to a new beginning are the core values of teshuvah—repentance, acceptance and reunification. In Judaism, repentance/returning home is based on important steps. The first is that a person has to make amends for what they did; they have to fix the wrongs that can be fixed. The second is that they have to ask for forgiveness. Third, they come before God asking for the strength to change their behavior in the future. And finally, when faced with the opportunity to do the same unhealthy thing, they must make a healthy choice. I wonder where the mother in the prodigal son story is. I can only imagine that if I were her and my long lost son had returned, we would embrace, kiss, eat in private and then talk, heart-to-heart. What had he learned, what would be different this time, what demands will have to be fulfilled for him to return home? Only over time when he had proven that he had really done teshuvah would I then celebrate his true return home.
I am proud and fortunate to be an American. I am privileged and blessed to be a Jew. My son is lucky and fortunate to receive mental health services in the United States. But it could be better! Our society not only could acknowledge the strong connection between a healthy soul and a healthy person, but it could also find ways to strengthen all religious connections, not just Christian ones. Recently, I went to a local psychiatric ward. The room was completely decorated for Christmas: a tree, window decorations, and wreaths. In one isolated corner was a tiny menorah. Imagine what a scared, lonely, sick Jewish patient might feel as they entered this foreign place for the first time. That morning they attended a mandatory group where they were required to answer questions about Christmas, a Christmas trivia game.
Isn't it time that our mental health clinicians and providers find ways to genuinely respect and even celebrate our different spiritual expressions—not only the majority culture and the commercially available expressions, but also the deeply rooted beliefs of minority groups—and thus support the healthy reunification of families and allow healing and growth to take place?
NAMI STAR Center Faith-based Initiatives
By Philip Qualo, J.D., STAR Center Program Manager
The relationship between faith and mental health recovery is unique because it is entirely dependent on the individual. Spirituality is essentially a personal experience that can be shared with others in churches, synagogues, temples and other places of worship. Similarly, recovery is dependent on individual experience. That is why there are multiple accepted models of recovery. For example, some individuals are able to achieve recovery and wellness through individual therapy and medication. Others may forego the medication and prefer a peer support or group therapy setting.
For the faithful, a religious or spiritual path to recovery might be a preferred option. Throughout human history, religion and spirituality have shaped daily life and culture. Regardless of whether it refers to an ultimate reality or an experience solely involving human imagination, spirituality can be understood to offer great benefit in terms of meaning, purpose and vitality, especially if viewed broadly enough to include access to unlimited potential, energy and opportunity. Therefore many faith-based communities regard religion and spirituality as the ultimate recovery tool.
The NAMI STAR Center is committed to pursuing initiatives relevant to the faith-based communities. The STAR Center recently partnered with Deacon Donald Clark to conduct a teleconference titled Recovery and Wellness in African American Faith-based Communities: Building Relationships that Build Community. Deacon Clark educated participants on the many recovery resources offered by community African American churches. The recording is available for free from the STAR Center.
STAR Center is also preparing to release a self-help, peer support and service provider tool titled Multicultural Competence, Intense Spiritual Experience and Mental Health. This resource highlights the major findings from a STAR Center workshop regarding multicultural competence, intense spiritual experiences and mental health. It presents the recommendations developed participants from diverse backgrounds who met over two days using a consensus workshop process. The STAR Center will be widely distributing this tool free of charge as well as developing a training to enhance the contents in the coming months.
Learn more about the STAR Center's faith-based initiatives or contact STAR Center Program Manager Philip Qualo at email@example.com or (703) 600-1114 for more information.
Editor's Note: The NAMI STAR Center was among an array of faith-related presenters at the 2011 NAMI National Convention. Readers are encouraged to bookmark the NAMI National Convention website section to learn more as the program for 2012 develops.

"....if there is activity in the ball prior to the rubbing action....
Bill Belichick, Sat Jan 24, 2015
"You may think that you are some kind of god to these people. But we both know what you really are."
"What's that? A criminal?"
"Worse. A politician."
Source: Under The Dome
http://news.yahoo.com/allen-west-not...221125815.htmlMath says Allen West lost his Florida congressional seat to Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy. West begs to differ.
The state released unofficial vote counts on Saturday showing Murphy up by 2,500 votes. The results are made official on November 20. Murphy declared his victory over West in a statement. West, unfortunately, isn't ready to give up the spotlight that congress brings. His campaign manager is raising questions over the votes in St. Lucie county, alleging that some votes were counted twice. They've even gone so far as to ask to review voter sign-in books to make sure the numbers of votes count.
West is labeled as a "firebrand" Republican because he routinely says crazy things. Remember this is the same guy who thinks there are Communists in Congress and who stopped just short of challenging Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to a fight after she criticized him.
Ladies and gentlemen, i present to you: Florida.
I have no doubt that Allen West will soon chain himself to the radiator.
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 4
I agree. West is indeed a fart sucker.

Aeron changed the way everyone thought about office chairs—from its revolutionary look to its advanced ergonomics to the fact that it's 94 percent recyclable.
Instantly adaptable to all the motions you go through every day while seated, Aeron provides healthy comfort and balanced body support. Its innovative suspension and easy-to-use adjustment controls let the chair move effortlessly as your body moves.
"We wanted a totally new kind of chair."Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick View Design Story
The Aeron Chair is available in three different sizes to fit just about anyone.
The pioneering PostureFit® mechanism supports the way your pelvis tilts naturally forward, so that your spine stays aligned and you avoid back pain. The Pellicle suspension conforms to your body, reduces pressure points, and provides unparalleled support.
The Aeron chair moves effortlessly with your whole body, as if your body were telling the chair what to do. The patented Kinemat® tilt mechanism lets your neck, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles pivot naturally.
The unique breathable Pellicle suspension dissipates the body heat that builds up while you work, so it keeps you cool and comfortable.
The high, wide, contoured back takes the pressure off your lower spine. Armrests slope slightly down in the back for the most natural and comfortable support. The "waterfall" front edge of the seat takes the pressure off your thighs, so your blood keeps circulating and you stay alert and focused.
Nine easy-to-make adjustments let you make the Aeron chair work just right for the way you work.
The Aeron chair has been copied and knocked off because, well, it's a beautiful and distinctive chair. But despite its stand-out look, it fits right in, whether your home office is high-tech, elegant, casual, or a room that doubles as a gym. Three Pellicle weaves in neutral colors and a range of finish options.
Green was built into the Aeron chair from the beginning. More than half of each chair is recycled materials, and the chair is 94 percent recyclable.

"Lineability, Spaceability, and Vladimir"
Abstract: We will give a report on the paper "Lineability and spaceability of sets of functions on R", recently published in the journal Proceedings of the AMS. This paper was a joint collaboration with Vladimir and Richard M. Aron. At that time, Vladimir was very interested (amongst other things) in the study of large algebraic structures (infinite dimensional vector spaces, Banach spaces, or algebras) enjoying certain large or exotic properties, such as being a continuous nowhere differentiable function, a differentiable nowhere monotone function, or being everywhere surjective.
Vladimir coined the concepts of lineable, spaceable, and algebrable to refer to the existence of large vector spaces, closed spaces, and algebras, respectively, of functions on R or C[0,1] enjoying some of these so called exotic properties.
We will give an overview on the main results from this joint paper with Vladimir and Richard M. Aron, as well as an historical view of the progress of Vladimir in these concepts that he created.

9:50 – 10:10 AM Dan Radelet (University of Pittsburgh)
"The Mazur Product map" Abstract: Given two convergent sequences x and y, and given z their Cauchy product, we ask whether every convergent sequence is of the form . We are able to use Cesaro averaging and factorizations on Hardy space to demonstrate that this product mapping with domain c × c is not onto. Further, we are able to show that the mapping is not onto for larger domain spaces containing c0 and l∞.
10:15 – 10:35 AM Francisco García (Kent State University)
"Rotundity, smoothness and renormings in Banach spaces"
Abstract: Characterizations of rotundity and smoothness in terms of faces and exposed faces of the unit ball are shown and some others are discussed.
10:40 – 11:00 AM Abebaw Tadesse (University of Pittsburgh)
"Compact composition operators on the Hardy and Bergman spaces''
Abstract: In this talk, we investigate compact composition operators which are not Hilbert-Schmidt. We consider the class of examples (B. A. Lotto (1992)) of composition operators whose symbol is a Riemann map from the unit disk D onto the semi-disk with center (½ ,0) radius ½, and, in general, onto a crescent-shaped regions constructed based on this semi-disk.
We use the R. Riedel (1994) characterization of -boundedness/compactness on H to determine the range of values of in R for which is -bounded/compact. In particular, we show that the class of Riemann maps under consideration gives example(s) of -bounded composition operators which fail to be -compact (0 < < ∞.) This was an open question raised by Hunziker and Jarchow (1991)(Section 5.2). Finally, we prove a necessary condition for to be Hilbert--Schmidt in terms of -boundedness. This result arises from our attempt to generalize previous observations to relate Hilbert-Schmidt classes with -bounded/compact operators.
11:00 – 11:10 AM COFFEE, MSB 3rd FLOOR LOUNGE
11:20 – 11:40 AM Jerry Day (University of Pittsburgh)
"All minimal invariant sets of Alspach's map''
Abstract: In 1981, Dale Alspach introduced the baker transform as an example of a non-expansive map on a weakly compact convex set that is fixed point free. The minimal invariant sets for this mapping have been of particular interest. Recent work of C. Lennard and the presenter has shed some light on this topic. Specifically, a method for finding all minimal invariant sets of Alspach's map will be presented, and a constructive definition of these sets will be given.
11:45 – 12:05 PM Aderaw Fenta (Kent State University)
"Bases and Lacunary Power Sequences in C and Lp"
Abstract: Some of V. I. Gurariy's works (1963 - 1971) in the areas of bases and basic sequences in uniformly convex and uniformly smooth spaces will be revisited. His paper with Macaev on lacunary power series in C and Lp will be discussed and some extensions of their results will be considered.
12:10 – 12:30 PM Alfy Dahma (University of Pittsburgh)
"Functions with a positive Fourier transform"
Abstract: One of the main goals in Fourier Analysis is to recover an L1 function from its Fourier transform. In this talk I will review some basic results concerning the Fourier transform and discuss a condition under which the Inversion Theorem may be applied.

Subject: Very Good Condition Despite the Heat (Del Rio, TX)
Received: Thu, 30 Jul 1998
Thanks, I received my order of plants today and still have the seeds to look forward to. The plants seem to be in very good condition considering the heat here in Texas. I hope to create an indoor herb garden to go with my small collection of aftican violets. I just have to find more light for the herbs. Thanks again for such good service.

It may not have been the way that she wanted to win the Downhill Globe but even before Maria Hoefl-Riesch kicked out of the start gate it was her Globe. Another HEAD World Cup Rebel, Anna Fenninger needed to win to have a chance of taking the Globe but she could only manage fifth place. Lizz Goergl just failed to come back from a 0.44 second deficit to take the win and placed second, just 0.05 seconds back; the race was won by Lara Gut and Fraenzi Aufdenblatten took third.
The race was all set up for a dramatic climax but with Hoefl-Riesch suffering from a fever, it was not the shoot out that the season deserved. With one eye on the race for the Overall, Hoefl-Riesch was going for the points yet a mistake just after the first split saw her slide into the netting and her race was run. Hoefl-Riesch left the hill via helicopter. She was later advised to withdraw from the remaining races meaning Anna Fenninger is the Overall Champion for 2014.
Despite three fastest split times Lizz Goergl took second place in the race with Anna Fenninger taking sixth place to move into an eleven point lead in the race for the Overall. After the race Fenninger said: "Not winning the downhill globe today isn't bad, I had to win the race to have a chance, but my run wasn't perfect anyway. I am happy about the second place but above all I really hope Maria is ok and wish her she can race with us tomorrow."
Goergl was happy with her place on the podium. "It was so cool to ski," she said referring to the course, the first time the Men and Women had raced the same course. Goergl also put to bed rumours that she was going to quit: "It goes on, yes, there are still things where I can develop myself."
Julia Mancuso finished tenth and said after the race: "Last downhill of the season and you just really have to go for it. It's a really tough course," said Mancuso. "It's a fun hill. I like it. … There's definitely room for improvement (in my downhill season), so I'm just going to keep working to improve and hopefully next year will be going better. I just had a lot of things going on with equipment, and that always gets into your head, especially when it's an important year to be in top form."
So with two Globes decided now, both won by HEAD World Cup Rebels, the Super G will be decided next.
1. Lara Gut (SUI)
2. Lizz Goergl (AUT) HEAD
3. Fraenzi Aufdenblatten (SUI)
6. Anna Fenninger (AUT) HEAD
10. Julia Mancuso (USA) HEAD
11. Kajsa Kling (SWE) HEAD
