Prospective Student-Athlete Information - Men's Basketball
We are excited about your interest in the University of North Texas and Mean Green men's basketball. Armed with a reputation for high-octane offense and hustling defense, Tony Benford has taken the reins of a North Texas basketball program that is primed to take the next step. A veteran of 20 years of coaching in Division I basketball and 14 postseason trips, Benford is a proven recruiter in the state of Texas that has coached five first-round draft picks and five conference player-of-the-year honorees.
North Texas finished the 2015-16 season at 12-20, but was 11-7 at the Super Pit as only six NT teams won more games since it opened in 1973-74 (42 seasons). The Mean Green finished the season posting a 45.2 field goal percentage mark, the best shooting percentage of the Tony Benford era. Only five teams in the last 20 years had a better shooting mark than the 2015-16 team. Three players scored over 400 points with sophomore Jeremy Combs (461), juniors J-Mychal Reese (471) and Deckie Johnson (451) becoming the 38th, 39th, and 40th members of the 400-point season club in school history. Combs led the team in scoring at 14.9 points per game and was second in C-USA in rebouding at 10.5 per game. Combs earned All-C-USA second team honors and broke former NBA standout Kenyon Martin's C-USA rebounding record (186) with 205 rebounds in C-USA games only.
Quick Hits On North Texas
The Mean Green soccer team led the way for North Texas Athletics during the 2015-16 season, winning the Conference USA regular-season title and the tournament championship. Soccer also advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in school history. Men's golf and track and field also saw post-season play. The men's golf team received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, while Chastity Stewart advanced to the NCAA Championships in two events: the 100 and 400-meter hurdles.
Forty-two Mean Green student-athletes were named all-conference during the 2015-16 season, and six received specialty conference awards. Carnae Dillard was named an AVCA honorable mention All-America selection after a stellar senior campaign. She was named Conference USA Player of the Year for the second straight year after breaking school records in career kills and attacks.
Rachel Holden was named the C-USA Co-Offensive Player of the Year for soccer, while teammate Karla Pineda was named midfielder of the year. The swimming and diving program picked up two big honors: Claudia Kitching was named C-USA Co-Newcomer of the Year, while Averie Ruiz was named freshman diver of the year. Ian Snyman was named C-USA Freshman of the Year for golf after tying for sixth place in the conference tournament.

The Men's Basketball Coaching Staff
Please note that, per NCAA rules, coaches can only respond via e-mail to juniors (after September 1) and seniors in high school. Coaches must mail responses to freshmen and sophomores, per NCAA rules. You can call any North Texas coach, but they cannot return your phone call unless you are a senior in high school.
Recognized as one of the finest college basketball facilities in the nation, the Super Pit is home to both the University of North Texas men's and women's basketball teams. Built in 1973, the coliseum is designed for multi-purpose use and is frequently the setting for concerts and theater stage productions as well as athletic events. In 2013, the "E" Practice Facility opened, providing the men's and women's basketball teams with their own practice court.
Named for its benefactor, alumnus Ernie Kuehne, who spearheaded the fund raising to build a practice facility for the men's and women's basketball teams, softball, and golf, the "E" is located in the Mean Green Village on the west side of Bonnie Brae St. across the driveway from the Volleyball Center. The facility's centerpiece is a full-length basketball court, complete with lockerrooms and scoreboard, allowing Mean Green basketball players to practice at any time.

What every prospective student-athlete should know about the recruiting process.
Academic Athletic Services
In the Fall of 2005, the academic and compliance staff relocated to the Mean Green Village. Located on Bonnie Brae, the new Student-Athlete Development Center is three times the size of the former academic center. The Center serves as the cornerstone of the Mean Green Village and is only a short walk from the surrounding sports facilities.

Separate and Unequal: Black Americans and the US Federal Government
Segregation in Federal government agencies and programs has been little appreciated as a key trait of American race relations in the decades before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Federal government used its power to impose a segregated pattern of race relations among its employees and, through its programs, upon the whole of American society well beyond the Mason-Dixon line. This pattern structured the relationship between black Americans and the United States Federal government--whether as employees in government agencies, inmates or officers in federal prisons, inductees in the armed services, consumers of federally-guaranteed mortgages, jobseekers in United States Employment Service offices, or visitors to National Parks in which the facilities were segregated (or, in some cases, non-existent for Black American visitors). In all these instances, segregation did not simply imply separation, but also profound inequality. In this work, King documents how instead of thwarting segregated race relations, the Federal government participated in their maintenance and diffusion.

The Dangerous Summer
- Brief Synopsis:
- The Dangerous Summer is Hemingway's firsthand chronicle of a brutal season of bullfights.
- Long Synopsis:
- The Dangerous Summer is Hemingway's firsthand chronicle of a brutal season of bullfights. In this vivid account, Hemingway captures the exhausting pace and pressure of the season, the camaraderie and pride of the matadors, and the mortal drama as in fight after fight the rival matadors try to outdo each other with ever more daring performances. At the same time Hemingway offers an often complex and deeply personal self-portrait that reveals much about one of the twentieth century's preeminent writers.

Website for Video Game Deals
This project received 18 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $1191 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project BudgetN/A
Total Bids18
Project Description
Hi, I want to create a website that will list current sale prices for video games and allow people to search for the lowest prices for a particular video game. There would also be a notifications piece where users can sign up to be notified when a particular game goes on sale or below a certain price range. The website would be sort of like [url removed, login to view] but that website is only for PC games and I want to expand on that and do console games too (ie, Xbox360, PS3, Wii, WiiU, etc). I also want to have more ways to filter to find game deals that users might be interested in. I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do and I am a developer myself, so I will be able to help steer the project and can code some of the site myself... but I do need someone that can come up with a design and implement some of the core features since I don't have time to do all this work myself. I will of course work on the data collection aspect, so I will have a database that is populated with the game deal info and attributes that users may want to search for (such as game genre, ratings, etc). I will also have logos and artwork made by someone else, so you won't have to worry about graphics much. So mostly I need someone that can design the main website interface and display the data that I will have in the MySQL database. Overall the website will be pretty small with only a few pages.

6 Fuji Apples
Fuji Apples
Regular price: $39.99
Sale price:
Product Description
6 Fuji Apples. Fuji apples have it all--super sweet, super juicy and super crisp. This Japanese apple has American parents, Red Delicious and Ralls Janet, an antique apple that goes back to Thomas Jefferson in 1793.
Fuji apples are typically large or very large and round, on average 75 mm in diameter. They contain between 9-11% sugars by weight and have a dense flesh that is sweeter and crisper than many other apple varieties, making them popular with consumers around the world. Fuji apples also have a very long shelf life compared to other apples, even without refrigeration. With refrigeration, Fuji apples can remain fresh for up to a year.
In Japan, Fuji apples continue to be an unrivaled best-seller. Japanese consumers prefer the crispy texture and sweetness of Fuji apples (which is somewhat reminiscent of the coveted Nashi Pear) almost to the exclusion of other varieties and Japan's apple imports remain low. Aomori Prefecture is perhaps the best known apple growing region of Japan. Of the roughly 900,000 tons of Japanese apples produced annually, 500,000 tons come from Aomori.
Outside of Japan the popularity of Fuji apples continues to grow. Fuji apples account for 80% of China's 20 million tons grown annually[citation needed]. Since their introduction into the U.S. market in the 1980's, Fuji apples have gained popularity with American consumers as well: a stranger to American supermarket shelves only 30 years ago, Fuji apples ranked at number 4 in 2003 on the US Apple Association's list of most popular apples, after Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Gala. Fuji apples are now grown in traditional apple-growing states such as Washington, New York, and California as demand shifts in both the domestic and foreign markets toward Fuji apples. Washington, the grower of more than half of America's apple crop, produces about 135,000 tons of Fuji apples each year, with only Red Delicious and Golden Delicious outweighing Fuji.

The Skullgirls series is making a return to consoles next week with the release of Skullgirls Encore, an updated version of the game that will add numerous changes, along with the first DLC character, Squigly.
Lemme guess, the 360 patch will be out in Two Weeks™?
sweet i get it free
Same day as my book of enoch comes in the mail.
He did not. But Beowulf and Eliza were happy to take his place.
That's too bad, I thought he looked really cool
That game will definitely be worth a download, since I do own the original Skullgirls. so many things going to happen at 2/11 from LRFFXIII, Kokoro's DLC outfit from DOA5U (getting released for PSN), & now this game getting released. Going to be an interesting day.
Not as a playable character, no.
But he is now a fully animated NPC in Big Bands stage instead of just a shadow in the Lab 8 stage background, so cheer up ;)
its about damn time... I was waiting for news/info since Dec. of last year. Looking forward to it.
Maybe with this release, there will be more people online, as much as i like the game, the ps3 version was an online graveyard.
"Xbox 360 version delayed"
No, really? I wouldn't have guessed.
nice, im ready
I can't wait SG is in my opinion one of the best and original fighting games last gen.
My BITE moneeeey!
I believe so. Every DLC character has 3 month period where they're free. That time has already passed on the PC version, but since she's barely being released on console the free period is just starting. The same goes for Big Band and the other 3 DLC characters when they're finished. Big Band will be released officially on all platforms sometime next month.
It may sound harsh but they might as well just give up on the 360 version since they keep running into problems and delays. It feels like it's simply not worth the endless hassle that Lab Zero keeps going through with dealing with all these other companies and MS's stiff patch policy. And I say this as an owner of the 360 version.
Quit saying "last gen", last I checked the PS3 is still being supported. But I do agree that SG is an awesome game.
It's true 360,PS3 and the Wii are last gen since the new consoles are now here. Last gen doesn't mean the console will no longer be supported its just there no longer the new console on the market. So stop being in denial ;).
Filia's thighs
Getting this.
does anyone know how much this will cost, i really need new fighters and i'm getting so sick of all the other games
You would think MvC players would support this game heavily.
Marvel 3 players be hatin' because Skullgirls actually takes a brain to play.
Yes ready 2 get back into this game.
For how much Skullgirls Encore will cost, according to the official website that if your a PSN member & already own the original Skullgirls. You can get Encore for free you just got to visit the PSN Store & simply download it. If your an Xbox member, Skullgirls Encore will be a patched version of the original not a separate product.
You can read the rest right here: http://labzerogames.com/skullgirls-en...
Yes. The best thing that can happen to Skullgirls at this point is having good news.
Although the 360 isn't out yet, I'm sure it's coming. All I really hope is that Lab Zero can completely turn around their bad luck throughout the rest of this year.
Wow, it's free because I bought the original! Totally sick! Definitely playing this now.
It's is a hassle for them to keep consoles up-to-date in general (this is not just a 360 issue) compared to the much more convenient PC version. With that logic they would have abandoned both 360/PS3 which isn't wise especially since all those backers are not PC players. Squigly build is barely coming to consoles while Big Band is almost done on PC. In the end L0 made the decision to slow down the PC build releases to sync better with the slower console release just so console players don't have to wait months behind PC players.
For those of you who haven't bought it game is a steal for the price it's being sold at. Beautiful animation with gameplay to match and the option to play how you want. If you want to use 3, 2 or one characters during a match you can do that. It's that variety that adds to the replay value in my opinion. Don't get me started with the the great characters designs and music which are also a plus.
Must have been a pain in the ass to even make one character but it pays off when you get to use a character that has cartoon quality animation. The sound effects and character voices also fit the game perfectly. I forgot how much I enjoyed this game and it's only real flaw in my opinion was not getting the proper support it should've got from the beginning. This isn't just showing love to the developers but my own selfish reasons so
If this game already had 20+ characters there's no doubt in my mind that SG's would be one of the most popular fighting games on the market.
So as you can tell I hope this game gets he support it deserves but more importantly so I get more SG's :).
I got a free copy of the original on my EU account. Sigh now I gotta wait lol XD
It was 14.99 originally. I imagine it would be that again. Shouldn't be more than 20 if it does go up.
I think we already did.
Also if LO ever does abandon the console version of the game... they essentially will be killing the Skullgirls' franchise.
A fighting game lives on by tournaments and FG community, and having a fight game solely on PC would basically kill the following it barely has.
Sure it could survive but if fans of the game want it to reach levels of even MK and KOF it has to have a console focus.
I play MvC & I support Skullgirls, but you do have a point.

Samantha Clement, Fairmont Prep, Jr., 5-7, G: Clement averaged 20.6 points per game last season. Those stats could go up as she has matured and improved over the offseason.
Abby Conklin, San Juan Hills, Sr., G: The San Diego-bound guard is the major reason why the Stallions are expected to have a breakthrough season and take the Sea View League title. Conklin averaged 13.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.7 steals per game last season.
Jaylin Jones, El Dorado, Jr., 5-10, F: The Golden Hawks reached the CIF-SS Division 3AAA semifinals last season thanks to the post play of Jones, who also can step out and hit midrange jumpers. She was a third-team All-County selection last season.
Coco Miller, JSerra, Jr., 5-11, G: Miller was a first team all-state sophomore selection last season. She averaged 19.2 points and 3.1 assists per game, and she made 70 of 186 3-pointers. She is a big-time scorer and should help the Lions contend in the Trinity League.
Rachel Pauu, Rosary, Sr., 5-10, F: Rosary will be competitive in the ultra-tough Trinity League because of the all-around play of Pauu. She is a ferocious defender and force in the paint.
Paola Roa, Huntington Beach, Jr., 5-8, PG: The Oilers look like the favorites in the Sunset League in large part because of Roa's ability to take over games. Her scoring gives the Oilers a shot against most teams.
Brooke Salas, El Dorado, Jr., 5-9, G: The other half of El Dorado's 1-2 punch is Salas, who has excellent chemistry with Jones. Salas is the Golden Hawks' floor leader. She has excellent ball-handling skills and a great ability to get her teammates involved in the offense.
Katie Lou Samuelson, Mater Dei, Jr., 6-3, F: Samuelson, the Register's 2012-13 player of the year, was one of the star players on the USA women's U16 national team this past offseason. The 3-point shooting specialist was CalHiSports.com's Division 1 player of the year last season. Samuelson is a major reason why the Monarchs went 30-2 last season.
Barbara Sitanggan, Troy, So., 5-4, PG: Sitanggan was an all-state freshman last season. This season, Sitanggan takes over as the team's leader. She has great ball-handling skills and court vision.
Andee Velasco, Mater Dei, Jr., 5-7, G: She was an all-state sophomore last season. Velasco is the floor general for Mater Dei and she can knock down 3s.

Barrie Cassidy is the presenter of the ABC program Insiders.

Joe Bullock could well gain unwanted notoriety as the catalyst for change in the ALP, the man who finally forced the party to do something about its farcical preselection process.
Nobody would have noticed the West Australian Senator-elect had it not been for the extraordinary nature of last week's Senate vote.
And when he emerged from obscurity, he shone a spotlight on the dangerous power of a handful of union powerbrokers over the wider party membership.
Topics: unions, alp, federal-government, federal-parliament
Saying this won't do much for the psyche of the West Australian voters forced to vote for a third time in 13 months, but the fact is, the Senate re-run is interesting rather than important.
The Government is fighting hard because it's never a good look to go backwards, but the end result won't be too significant.

The last sitting week of the autumn session is a precious opportunity to lay the groundwork for the essential task at the heart of government - framing the budget and reforming the economy.
The community needs signals. It needs massaging. Governments need to meticulously explain the context of decisions to come.
Instead we saw bigots and knights, distractions and indulgences - what a bizarre and wasted week for the Abbott Government.

Clive Palmer's new demands over the mining tax repeal come at an already difficult time for Tony Abbott, who has questions to answer over his embattled Assistant Treasurer, Arthur Sinodinos, stepping down.
Why was it OK for Sinodinos to stay in his job on Tuesday and yet by Wednesday it was "in the best and most honourable Westminster tradition" that he stand aside? What changed?
And going back even further, why was Sinodinos made Assistant Treasurer in the first place when details of the emerging scandal were known to everybody?

Unless the polls are widely astray, two new leaders will front up at the next COAG meeting: South Australian premier Steven Marshall and Tasmanian premier Will Hodgman.
There to meet them will be one premier who has fought two elections, two others who have fought one, and another who hasn't fought any.
The newcomers should not feel overwhelmed.
Australian politics took a battering during the hung parliament years, but if you thought it was going to be smooth sailing from here, you were wrong.
Bill Shorten can be just as obstructionist in opposition as Tony Abbott was, and he is also battling pre-selection issues in Victoria.
And when it comes to Qantas, the Coalition can't quite pin down whether it has a Plan A, Plan B or no plan for the airline and the Senate.

The sickening events on Manus Island were never going to be adequately prosecuted by the Opposition considering its own role in that policy.
But Stephen Conroy's inopportune stoush with the military did sink Labor's opportunity to further pursue Assistant Health Minister Fiona Nash over conflict of interest allegations.
The Minister now accepts she knew all about the links her chief of staff had with the junk food industry. Yet she told the Senate on February 11 that there were no links. That contradiction still hasn't been explained.

The fresh Senate election is a distraction the Abbott Government could do without, as electorally it can only hold its ground or lose a seat.
But it does offer Tony Abbott a last chance to attack Labor over the carbon tax before he has to find new ammunition.
And while the Senate numbers may vary, the Liberals face the real prospect of state election wins and wall-to-wall Coalition governments.

The Victorian Government's decision to offer $22 million to SPC Ardmona will surely confuse the electorate on what the Liberal Party stands for as an organisation.
While the Abbott Government can hide behind the values of non-manufacturing states and talk about not propping up unsustainable industries, the Victorian Liberal Party has to confront a contentious issue in its own backyard.
The two levels are caught in a clash between economic rationalism and political pragmatism.

If Tony Abbott were a racehorse, you would train him up as a sprinter, not a stayer.
First he allowed his strong argument in favour of ending subsidies to become an attack on the conditions of low-paid factory workers. Then he blew an opportunity to strike Labor over its union links.
As the Government moves on to Joe Hockey's overdue debate about entitlements and responsibilities, the arguments will need to be more refined, targeted and consistent than they have been on industry policy.

This is not a federal election year, yet it is a year of elections just the same.
2014 brings us state and federal by-elections in Queensland, state elections in Tasmania, South Australia, and Victoria, and a possible Senate election re-run in Western Australia.
But while there are lots of results to read and dissect, don't count on any single contest giving us any guide to how the Abbott Government is travelling.

For too long, the Coalition shouted about a budget emergency and a debt crisis. They created a sense of anxiety in the community.
Having won that argument, they now need to drastically reduce both debt and deficit a time when the fundamentals beyond their control will make that task extremely difficult.
The early months give a strong sense that both the economic and political achievements of the new Government will rest with the Treasurer, Joe Hockey.
Never before have so many analysts transparently taken positions, publicly attacking those they disagree with.
None of this is good for democracy.
There is no equivalent in Australia of the Tea Party that has wreaked havoc upon the Republicans in the United States. Not yet anyway.
But there is at the margins signs of a "weak-tea party", made up essentially of far right commentators and a small minority in the parliamentary party who want to use high office to settle scores.

Days after Tony Abbott and Christopher Pyne's Gonski backflip, parents are left wondering what last week was all about.
Why did Pyne do what he did? Parents can only speculate.
Whatever the motives, the country is now left with a failing system still in need of reform.

The Prime Minister said the Coalition and Labor were "on a unity ticket" on education funding, and said he would restore public trust by delivering on his promises.
Perhaps the Abbott Government has misread the election result and believes it has some goodwill to spend. It hasn't.
The 2013 election was first and foremost a repudiation of a divided and chaotic government, not an embrace of an opposition with fresh ideas.

Tony Abbott insists he'll have a foreign policy with a Jakarta focus and not a Geneva focus. To this point, Geneva will be well pleased.
To be fair, the Prime Minister was placed in a no-win situation by the previous government on the Indonesian spy scandal.
But that is no excuse for making a bad situation even worse. There were so many options to consider short of an apology, and he took none of them.

With his resignation this week, Kevin Rudd once again demonstrated his unrivalled ability to introduce the element of surprise and own the moment.
The former prime minister's words and actions drew a range of emotions within the Labor Party, from sadness, disappointment and anger at one end, through to relief in the centre and sheer delight and satisfaction at the other end.
That is the way he will be remembered; with contradictory emotions and a mixed legacy.

Having weakened two Labor prime ministers, climate change threatens to be the issue that defines the new leader of the opposition.
Significant Labor Party players are urging Bill Shorten to walk away from the carbon tax/ETS, but the broader membership has a different view.
If Shorten is to survive longer term as leader, he will have to keep in mind the unspoken truth that Labor's rules changes mean the left now essentially controls the leadership.

The new Coalition Government has it all over the previous mob when it comes to strategy.
Tony Abbott and his strategists are closing down the political debate as best they can - and for now the tactic probably has public support.
But how long can it last? The political class will eventually claim back their relevance. More to the point, the public deserves better.

Treasurer Joe Hockey gave a speech last year about the "age of entitlement" that afflicts societies, but the real age of entitlement exists within the ranks of parliamentarians.
When the government next takes money away from the taxpayer, as it occasionally must, it will very quickly discover the real damage caused by the greedy and pedantic application of the ambiguous rules surrounding expense claims.
Handled properly, the public will simply mark down all politicians - again - and move on. But standards need to improve. Better judgment needs to be exercised.

It was the Prussian statesman Otto von Bismarck who first said that laws are like sausages; it is better not to see them being made.
And so it was with this week's agreement between Tony Abbott and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on asylum seekers. The two leaders insisted that tensions had eased and that the Indonesians had been reassured there is nothing in Australia's approach that breaches their sovereignty.
It's just that we have no idea how they came to that diplomatic breakthrough, and to what extent, if any, the Abbott Government has had to compromise.

For Labor, including the rank-and-file in its leadership ballot has been an energising experience at one of the low points in its history. But for Tony Abbott, the benefits have been even greater.
The new administration is getting a softer settling in period than any other. At a time when its new ministers are on training wheels, there is really no effective opposition.
And there is a great deal happening worthy of scrutiny: just look at Christopher Pyne's thought bubbles on higher education policy and David Johnston's suggestion that the ADF's fighting momentum should not be lost.

Tony Abbott's immediate media strategy is to put the country to sleep, or at least lower the volume so that everybody can enjoy a little quiet reflection after a tumultuous few years.
That approach is eminently defensible and politically smart. It will represent a stark contrast to the appalling priorities of the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd governments over the past six years.
Nevertheless, Abbott should consider the cautionary tale of Ted Baillieu before he stops feeding the chooks altogether.

- "Protect yourself right -- buy armor from Grelka."
- ―Grelka[src]
Grelka is a Nord who lives in Riften. She trains Light Armor at the Expert-level and serves as a merchant of armor and weapons. During the day, she sells her wares at a booth in the center of town. She sleeps at Haelga's Bunkhouse.
Background and personalityEdit
Grelka is not originally from Skyrim, and wants to leave due to the political turmoil, Civil War, and the reappearance of the dragons. She sells goods in Riften, hoping to earn enough money to eventually leave Skyrim.
Grelka is prejudiced against Argonians, as is evident in her treatment of Madesi. In the evenings, before he goes to sleep in Beggar's Row, Madesi goes to the Bunkhouse, where he is often harassed by Grelka; she calls him "green-skin" and mocks his inability to shut his mouth when he chews, due to his skull structure.
Grelka serves as an Expert-level trainer in Light Armor. Grelka earns from training sessions enters her spending limit reserve for her stall. So, after training with her, she can then buy more goods with that money.
Stealing from Grelka may prompt her to send hired thugs after the thief.
In the Special Edition, Grelka will offer a small quest that involves the Dragonborn picking up a package in Windhelm. After they have completed the quest, Grelka will be available as a candidate for marriage.
- "You gonna stare all day or buy some armor?"
- "Come on, come on. The sooner you buy, the sooner I can get drunk."
- "You gonna buy something, or just here for training? Otherwise, move on!"
- "Buy some armor and live to tell about it."
- "Come back when you're ready to spend more gold! Goodness knows I could use it."
- "Looking to stay alive? Why take a chance?"
Grelka "Oh, Haelga!...There you are. Your special shipment just came in from Hammerfell on the Khajiit caravan."
Haelga "Oh, good. I want to try it on as soon as possible."
Grelka "'Try it on'? What do you need a leather harness for anyway?"

California Ranks As World's 8th Largest Economy, Overtaking Russia And Italy
Tuesday, July 8, 2014
Aired 7/8/14 on KPBS News.
Economist says the Golden State's standing is more evidence of its continued recovery. Tourism and the tech industry helped fuel California's comeback, an economist says.
California surpassed Russia and Italy to become the world's eighth largest economy in 2013.
"It says that the average output per worker in California is higher than any other state in the nation and most other countries," said Stephen Levy, director of the Palo Alto-based Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy which compiled the rankings from annual figures put out by the World Bank.
The rankings are based on the value of all goods and services produced in California.
China is the world's second largest economy, according to the World Bank. Its economic output is half that of the United States. Japan has the world's third largest economy followed by Germany and France.
Levy said California is poised to overtake the fifth and sixth largest economies this year.
California's eighth place showing in 2013 tells the story of the state's comeback after years of hard knocks starting in 2007. Levy credited Silicon Valley with playing a pivotal role in the rebound.
"It's led by tech in the Bay Area," Levy said. "Tourism — of which San Diego and Southern California are the strongest part — is setting records again. Foreign trade from Mexico and the Pacific Rim is on the rise again. We are starting to build more homes and office buildings."
Levy said California has outpaced the rest of the country in growth for the past three years.

The Huskies were happy to be in the Holiday Bowl, and they showed it.
Behind a powerful ground attack led by Jake & Chris Polk–along with a history-making performance by the defense–the Huskies manhandled the Nebraska Cornhuskers 19-7 en route to their first bowl victory since the 2001 Rose Bowl.
Polk ran for 177 yards on 34 carries and Jake added 83 yards rushing to cap a 268 yard team rushing performance against a shell-shocked Husker team. The Husky defense held a strong Nebraska rushing offense to a pedestrian 91 yards rushing on 41 carries, effectively shutting down a rushing attack that had gained 383 yards vs. the Huskies just 3 months prior.
Washington started off fast as the Huskies capitalized on a Alameda Ta'amu fumble recovery on the Huskers' first possession of the game, leading to a short Chris Polk touchdown run and an early 7-0 lead. The short drive featured a 16 yard reception by Jake on the first play from scrimmage, a play that got the Huskies to inside the 5 yard line.
Leading 10-7 at the half, the Husky offense started the second half much like the first and marched 53 yards in just 4 plays, keyed by a 26 yard Jake to D'Andre Goodwin pass followed by a 25 yard touchdown burst by Jake to take a 17-7 lead. From there, the Husky defense took the reigns and rendered the Huskers ineffective the rest of the game, racking up sacks, tackles for loss, an interception and even the team's first safety in 7 years, a 2-point score after holding was called in the endzone.
The redemptive win caps a fantastic finish by a 7-6 Washington team that reeled off 4 straight wins, a record that will have the Huskies finish 3rd place in the Pac-10. And, while there have been countless variations of the same question to Jake–'do you regret the decision to come back for your Senior year?'–the victory will help solidify the answer that hasn't wavered from the start.
"There were some frustrating moments, but this is the best way I could go out. I couldn't ask for anything better," Jake said after the game. "And to see the program off this way…I'm going to be their biggest fan from here on out."
The story-book ending to the season and Jake's collegiate career was a fitting end for a player and a team that has symbolized perseverance over the last 2+ years. And, it appears Jake finished the main goal he made when he started with the program 5 years ago: to get the Huskies back to their winning ways and relevance in the Pac-10.
Jake finishes his Husky tenure second only to Cody Pickett in total passing yards, attempts, completions and touchdowns. He is first in total rushing yards by a quarterback in Washington's long history.
A complete statistical recap of the Holiday Bowl can be found here.

Project Judaica has been actively engaged in assisting the Czech Jewish Community make the ghetto/concentration camp of Terezin open and completely accessible to visitors who come from around the world to learn of the horrors which happened over fifty years ago during the Holocaust.
As Hitler transported tens of thousands of communal objects to Prague, their owners were rounded up and shipped first to a city built Northwest of Prague in 1780 by Joseph II. Ironically, this city served as a fortress to protect Prague from invaders to the North. Joseph II named this village after his mother, Maria Teresia, calling it Terezin. Hitler, the world was to be told, had built a city for the Jews, to protect them from the vagaries and stresses of the war. A film was made to show this mythic, idyllic city to which his henchmen were taking the Jews from the Czech Lands and eight other countries. Notable musicians, writers, artists, and leaders were sent there for "safer" keeping than was to be afforded elsewhere in Hitler's quest to stave off any uprisings or objections around the so-called civilized world. This ruse worked for a very long time, to the great detriment of the nearly two hundred thousand men, women and children who passed through its gates as a way station to the East and probable death.
Of the vast majority of Czech Jews who were taken to Terezin (or Terezienstadt in German), 97,297 died among whom were 15,000 children. Only 132 of those children were known to have survived!
The Red Cross was allowed to visit Terezin once. The village of Terezin was spruced up for the occasion. Certain inmates were dressed up and told to stand at strategic places along the specially designated route through Terezin. Shop windows along that carefully guarded path were filled with goods for the day. One young mother remembers seeing the bakery window and shelves suddenly filled with baked goods the inmates had never seen during their time at Terezin. Even the candy shop window overflowed with bon bons creating a fantastic illusion she would never forget.
When the Red Cross representative appeared before this young mother, she remembers being asked how it was to live in Terezin during those days. Her reply implored the questioner to look around. Be sure and look around, as she herself rolled her own widely opened eyes around in an exaggerated manner. The Red Cross reported dryly that while war time conditions made all life difficult, life at Terezin was acceptable given all of the pressures. The Red Cross concluded that the Jews were being treated all right.
There were so many musicians in Terezin, there could have been two full symphony orchestras performing simultaneously daily. In addition, there were a number of chamber orchestras playing at various times. A number of distinguished composers created works at Terezin including Brundibar or the Bumble Bee, a children's operetta and a number of chamber compositions which only now are being resurrected and played in Europe and the United States.
Terezin developed a deep feeling of family according to many of the survivors. As larger numbers of people were crammed into smaller spaces, a sense of community deepened. In the town of Terezin, the population had normally been around 5,000 people before the war. At the height of the war, the Ghetto/Concentration Camp Terezin held over 55,000 Jews. As a consequence, starvation and disease proved rampant. Thousands died of malnutrition and exposure. Their bodies were cremated at the small crematorium with its four gas ovens. This was not a death camp, by the usual definition. There is no way to compare Terezin to Auschwitz-Birkenau or Treblinka or any of the other death camps where hundreds of thousands were gassed or murdered in other ways each year. Terezin, by comparison was a place to which people would apply so as to avoid a worse fate.
The elderly and families were brought in large numbers to Terezin. Then, in large groups, they were transported to the East, to Auschwitz-Birkenau, when it was fully operational in late 1942. There, the elderly were sent immediately to the gas chambers while the younger inmates who still could work, were temporarily spared. Terezin families were, in some instances, kept together at Birkenau, in family barracks, until their fate was met.
The Little Fortress at Terezin, a star-shaped thick-walled fortress, had long served as a prison. Few people were incarcerated here from the time it was opened in 1780 to Hitler, the one exception being the assassins of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife in 1914. The Nazis brought political prisoners and others to this hellish place never to emerge again. It was here that the Jewish artists were sent after having been caught stealing paper and other supplies with which they produced writings that recorded daily life in Terezin. It was their work which allowed the outside world to know dramatically about life in Terezin.
These artists also stole materials so the children could surreptitiously create their works of art. Six thousand drawings were hidden and later successfully retrieved to be displayed telling their poignant stories to thousands of viewers in Prague, Israel and at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
Under the creative and vigorous leadership of Dr. Jan Munk and an active board of leaders from around the world, an educational museum has been opened to the public in the former children's barracks in the center of the village. Even though resources are limited, Dr. Munk and his team have mounted a series of exhibitions which allow visitors to explore the extensive collection of children's and adult artwork from the period of the war. The timeline exhibition on the upper floor allows a visitor to explore with accuracy and the availability of the actual Nazi forms, photographs, objects and mementoes, the long and harsh history of the life of the inmates at this City which Hitler told the World, he had built for the Jews to keep them safe during the hostilities!
The generosity of Ron Kaufman of San Francisco, Don Newman of Tulsa, Peter and Miriam Haas of San Francisco, Albert Abramson of Washington through this Foundation and the Joseph Popper Unit of B'nai B'rith, NYC. The world-famous Czech sculptor Vesely was commissioned to create the Mogen David (Star of David) memorial for the many innocent Jewish victims who are buried at Terezin. Previously, no such Jewish recognition existed. We are grateful to these very generous donors who made this great deed possible.
Several films are shown to visitors in several languages including English which help orient them about the organization of the social structure, the efforts to exploit the fake front Hitler's master propagandists created to have the world believe that no harm came to those who were sent to this place and a newly created film, Incarcerated Dreams, created by a young man born and raised in post-war Terezin, as his way of expiating his soul of the nightmares he had about the children who had been forced to live in this village. In this small but powerful film, the children's drawings are animated and come alive to tell the story of the destruction of nearly 15,000 young people under the age of 15 who had passed through Terezin during the Holocaust. (Only 132 children survived) The musical background used in the video is taken from the children's operetta, Brundibar (the Bumblebee) which was composed in Terezin at the height of the war.
Project Judaica is pleased to serve as the United States Representative for the Terezin Museum and is able to offer applications for any interested persons to become an American Friend of the Terezin Museum Initiative. Through the income raised in this program Dr. Munk and his colleagues are can expand and improve their educational program and exhibitions.

Whether you're 5 or 50, you may be skipping breakfast unnecessarily. Maybe the bus or carpool is about to leave without you, or you overslept because of late-night cramming for exams. Whatever the age and whatever the reason, the truth of the matter is that breakfast, without a doubt, is the worst meal to skip. Studies have shown that students score more poorly on tests when they haven't eaten, and we have to believe that even busy-executives drop in their daily performance without good nutrition. (Wouldn't you hate to think you blew that mega-deal just because your brain was hungry? We should all have our own "power breakfasts" even if they don't involve a morning business meeting.) Still, it seems that breakfast is the one meal that suffers most from the competition of other demands.
These recipes are almost instant and meant to be eaten on the go—whether you hand them to your kids as they're racing out the door, or down them quickly with a coffee cup in one hand while standing at the kitchen counter (not recommended but let's be real: this is how many people start their day). And in everyone's best interests, we've focused on nutritionally positive recipes here (you can pig out on the occasional bacon and eggs on the weekend). Feel free to adapt these recipes, though, adding more healthful grains and vegetables to yours and your kids' diets.

Description by OLDIES.com:
"Exterminate all rational thought," Naked Lunch, William S, Burroughs' hallucinatory, "unfilmable" novel, is finally realized onscreen by director David Cronenberg. Part-time exterminator and full-time drug addict Bill Lee (Peter Weller) plunges into the nightmarish netherworld of the Interzone, pursuing a mysterious project that leads him to confront sinister cabals and giant talking bugs. The fruit of an unholy union between two masters of the hilarious and the macabre, Naked Lunch mingles aspects of Burroughs' novel with incidents from his own life, resulting in a compendium of paranoid fantasies and searching investigation into the mysteries of the writing process.
Product Description:
The dry wit of writer William S. Burroughs transfers surprisingly well to the screen. This partially biographical celluloid interpretation of his book shows Burroughs's daring and delirium as one of the experimental beat writers (with Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg) who emerged in the late 1950s. In the lead role, Peter Weller does a dead-on Burroughs impression, and the film follows a bizarre logic and has a dark, rich look that makes it one of director David Cronenberg's more satisfying works. Bill Lee (Weller) is a pest-control man who would rather be a writer, and he is seeking escape from his troubled existence. After killing his wife, he flees to Interzone, a hallucinatory version of Tangiers (the location where Burroughs penned the book). There he finds that reality and fantasy have merged in a strange, surreal landscape inhabited by half-alien, half-insect creatures and odd humans. And finally, in this altered state, Lee can become a writer. Like other Cronenberg films, NAKED LUNCH is a bit squishy; it is full of pervasive biological dread. And this film is not exactly faithful to the novel. Instead, Cronenberg provides it with a neat framework that begins and ends with Lee shooting his wife Joan (Judy Davis) during a botched William Tell routine, just as Burroughs did in real life.

Full profile →'">
The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The Premier League season has made it to the halfway point with sixteen of the twenty teams having completed nineteen matches and the remainder sitting on eighteen matches contested. The January transfer window will soon open, and a number of teams will have to decide if they need another player or two to make the push for a title, Champions League contention, or to avoid the drop while balancing such needs against the immediately financially prudent decision to stand pat for the remainder of the season. What has the first half of the season taught us about how each club has performed so far, and what impact has the first half-season's performance had on the chances of each team realizing their goals for the campaign?
Much has been, and will continue to be made, about the close proximity of the clubs in table positions three through eight given the narrow seven points that separate them. The reality is that this gap is largely an optical illusion that one can easily fall for if not viewed in the context of historical data. The table below summarizes mid-season points data from the eighteen years of Premier League play using the 20-team/38-match format and compares them to this season's mid-campaign table. The first three columns of the table contain data from this season's mid-year table, while the fourth and second to last columns contain the median point total and median gap in points between the current position and the one below it for all eighteen seasons. The fifth and last columns then compare this year's point totals and gaps to the next club's total versus the historical medians. Data was taken from the tables in which a majority of teams first completed nineteen or more matches within Statto.com's historical league results. An adjustment was made to the historical point totals for teams who had fewer or more than nineteen matches played in the tables to provide an equal match basis comparison within this study.
As the table illustrates, most of the point totals and gaps to the next team are within historical norms. Fifteen of the twenty point totals are within one point or less of the historical medians, while fourteen of the twenty gaps to the next team's point total fall into a similar range. There is a bit of an optical illusion going on this season at the top end of the table that can cause the reader to have the misperception that the rest of the table is more tightly bunched than normal. First, Manchester United currently holds the fourth largest lead at mid-season in the eighteen years of data collected. Second, this separation, combined with Manchester City's gap of six points to the fourth place position, provides the perception that the remaining teams in fourth through eighth are more tightly clustered than normal. This optical illusion would be even bigger if Chelsea had played Southampton as originally scheduled and won that match rather than competing in the Club World Cup, as it would have meant a full six point gap would have existed between third and fourth place. A gap as big or bigger between third and fourth position at midseason has only been encountered twice in eighteen years. The reality is that the mid-season table is largely where we would expect it to be with only a point or two separating most teams.
The table above suggests that the league table is largely what we'd expect at this point from a general "table position vs. points" perspective, but it doesn't tell us how well specific clubs have done versus expectations. Which clubs have performed up to or exceeded expectations and which ones have underperformed? One way to judge this is to look at the quality of players available to each club and how they have performed versus the opposition they have faced. As has been done throughout the season, this evaluation is done via player valuations within the Transfer Price Index (TPI) and consideration as to which team is at home versus away in each match. These considerations are translated into odds for each team winning, drawing, and losing a match, with 10,000 simulations of each match run to produce a total of 10,000 simulated first halves to the season. These 10,000 simulations are then translated into likelihoods of each team occupying each table position at the 19th Match Day. A 25/50/25 method is used to judge performance relative to projected table position. If a team currently occupies a table position in the upper 25% of those projected for them, they are judged to have over performed versus expectations and are colored green. If they finish in the middle 50% they have met expectations and are denoted via a yellow color, and if they occupy one of the table positions in the bottom 25% of those projected for the club they are judged to have under performed and are colored red. The table below summarizes the results for such an approach.
There are few important items to note within the table's wider data set:
- Based upon the 10,000 simulations, the TPI model suggests that Manchester City had the highest likelihood of occupying the top table position at this stage in the competition. This is due to Manchester City playing one more game at home compared to United, as well as a bigger average player valuation advantage versus their opposition than United. This means City may have missed some golden opportunities to pick up points in an easier fashion than will be required the rest of the season.
- Only four teams have over performed versus expectations up to this point in the season: Manchester United, Everton, West Bromwich Albion, and Swansea City. Manchester United's position at the top of the table is less surprising, while the performances of Everton, West Brom, and Swansea City were less expected by most at the beginning of the season.
- While one would expect to see the teams in the bottom third of the table be listed as underperformers, one club sticks out as an underperformer further up the table: Liverpool sitting in the 10th table position. Yes, a few wins can vault them up the table into something closer to expectations, but the reality as it stands now is that this is a very expensive side compared to the competition it has faced to date that should not be sitting as low as tenth in the table. Earlier this season it was pointed out that Brendan Rodgers needs time to turnaround the expensive-yet-lackluster team he was handed after years of mismanagement by the club, and the table above points out just how much work he has ahead of him.
- Further down the table, Aston Villa continues their long-term downward slide since Martin O'Neill's departure. They have the second lowest percentile behind bottom-of-the-table Reading, but the fact that they are placing higher than only 2% of all simulated half-seasons on a player valuation basis nearly nine times higher than Reading's means they have perhaps had the most disappointing of all clubs' starts to the season.

I think another reason it's called reality is that it is actually
happening rather than being acted out, despite how contrived it is. The
bits of them I've seen on commercials or in brief channel surfing

resulting in lots of backstabbing, lunacy, and as Jim mentioned,
humiliation. I've heard they have vaguely similar shows in poorer
