I think you have a healthy attitude towards your potential dog getting picked for the team. I have a similar attitude with my guy who recently washed out of SAR training--it was disappointing of course, but hey, he's got a great foundation for sport scent work and I know he's totally trustworthy off-leash in wilderness situations and he got a lot of camping experience to boot during his stint as a SAR-dog-in-training, so he's like the perfect dog for my non-SAR hobbies. Apparently it's a bit unusual (at least in my team's experience, from comments that have been made to me) for people to come into it with such a realistic attitude about their dogs, and many people take it personally if their dog is not considered right for SAR. So that's great.
Otherwise, I'd second jocoyn's advice totally. I'd talk to your team before you get a dog, but your plan doesn't have any inherent problems from what I see. Your team may prefer to work with the pup from the ground up (my team does that as well, even though technically dogs have to be 6 months old to be evaluated for membership, but young pups are still welcome at trainings and the team works with socializing and laying a foundation for future training on them), or they may prefer older dogs. Even if it's the latter, though, most will probably be happy to help you select a puppy that is as likely as possible to be a successful SAR dog. My team has a puppy suitability test and everything, although as jocoyn said we are always very aware that young pups are a gamble--it's just a means to hopefully reduce the chances that the pup will grow up to not be suitable for the work.
Vandoos , that is a Canadian military outfit known for its courageous soldiers -- .
I wonder if the person told you that SAR was not a hobby and if you approached a group with even a hint of hobby thinking they would not take you on . The first year is your trial by fire . Whatever they ask , no matter how remote the location , the number of times per week, they want to see if you are dedicated. Long before a dog comes into the picture.
You can't do SAR by yourself , but you can do Tracking Dog , Tracking Dog Excellent, Urban Tracking Dog , Urban Tracking Dog Excellent and trial and get titles. There is the new Nose sport , which looks really interesting . Schutzhund FH .
Here is a blog site that belongs to Ontario Northern CanKC tracking rep who has two dogs Trust and Blast both with the highest levels for tracking titles Urban Track Dog Excellent . If you go through her blog you will see all sorts of training advice complete with track analysis and dog track analysis - any surface any weather any distraction.
Birch-Bark Hill
She can also tell you what clubs there may be in your location , and trials. There is even something to learn in joining one of these clubs to be a track layer -- anything to understand what your requirements and the dogs requirements will be.
If you are certifying in Ontario the dogs will be certified by OPP , (provincial police) and the standards are set out by RCMP .
Absolutely nothing to do with SAR, just wanted to say that I am originally from Ste-
Foy, did Army Cadets, Corps the Cadet 2600, affiliated with the Vandoos, did many a summer camp in Valcartier, and was Armed Forces for 10 years afterwards. (Navy and Airforce - much too lazy to try infantry, and women were not allowed in combat arm trades back then - giving away my age, here).
Welcome to the Board, glad to have you here!
Tracking is usually a fine start but I would talk with the team. You have plenty of time for the summer after you talk with them. Generally, under 2 is great but we have allowed as old as 3 or 4, typically there it is a first dog for someone and we know they will probably either quit or follow with a second. For team members around 6 months or so is good for starting. WE work with puppies etc....realizing the obvious risks that the pup may have a future problem (pups a gamble)
Depending on the team there may be a wait before they will evaluate a puppy or dog. Something to consider. Also, being on a team may help you verify your selection. We like to work with teammates when they look for new dogs and puppies.
To SAR dog or not to SAR dog...
Well first off as this is my first post, hello to everyone on the Forum!
Like many of the people who posted here, at first I set out to get a SAR dog in the "wrong way". Instead of joining the SAR team first, I started looking for a dog. Luckily, I didn't pick up a dog at the breeders that guaranteed me their dogs were fit and perfect for the job (american show line GSDs for the most part... not saying they were bad dogs but since the breeders didn't work the dogs in that way how could they know?). All to say, I stumbled onto a work line breeder who set me on the right path (didn't exactly chew me out but...).
I have now looked at SAR teams in my area and found one where I will start my training in March. I am confident I have an affinity for it (12 years in the infantry & still serving... from what I see volunteer SAR calls pretty much on a similar skillset, correct me if I'm wrong).
So my question is: Am I getting ahead of myself if I still seek out a work line GSD for this summer? (yes, I'm fixated on these dogs) I'm not looking into getting the dog admited this year. I was thinking of doing scent work/tracking as a sport with the dog until it gets invited for an evaluation(is that a good approach?). If the dog is picked at that point, Awesome! (what's considered too old BTW?) If not, I figure I'll have a good activity with my new furry buddy anyways and that shouldn't prevent me from doing SAR work on my own in any case.

One year on…
RealClimate has been online for just over a year, and so this is probably a good time to review the stories we've covered and assess how well the whole project is working out.
Over the last 12 months, we've tackled a 100+ scientific topics that range from water vapour feedbacks, the carbon cycle, climate sensitivity, satellite/surface temperature records, glacier retreat, climate modelling to hurricanes. We've had guest postings that span questions of Martian climate change to Arctic ozone depletion and solar forcing. We've crossed virtual swords with Michael Crichton, the Wall Street Journal's editorial board, George Will, Nigel Lawson, Fox News and assorted documentary makers (though only one person ever threatened to sue us). Hopefully our contributions have interested, intrigued and occasionally amused (at least a few of you…).
In terms of feedback, our surprisingly frequent media mentions indicate that we've been at least partially successful in our original aim of helping inform journalists about the science, but there is clearly still a long way to go. We've been pleased to see links to RealClimate postings occuring frequently in other climate-related forums and our mailbag continues to be full of questions and suggestions for topics (please keep them coming!). It's also been extremely uplifting to find so many people who are not professional scientists interested enough to post such detailed comments to the articles.
Overall, we have been more praised than vilified. We certainly haven't kept everyone happy, though even those who aren't happy still pay attention to what is posted. Indeed, there are websites that pore over our ruminations with the dedication heretofore only applied to the sayings of the Delphic Oracle (unlike the oracle though, we make no claims to prophecy and don't encode hidden meanings in our responses).
While we've aspired to being a reasonably authoritative resource, we have occasionally slipped and used more personal language than was really necessary. It is difficult at times to remember that although blogsphere conversations happen very quickly, they stay around forever, and so a sober style is most appropriate. However, moderation of comments on this site has been absolutely necessary to avoid the descent into the schoolyard behaviour all too often found in unmoderated forums. This task is not however an exact science, and there have errors of both overzealousness and undermoderation. For that, we apologise.
Being involved in RealClimate has certainly increased our profiles in the climate community and our visibility in the mainstream media, though it's not yet clear whether it is helping or hindering our own research. Blogging keeps us up-to-date with many different areas of the science, but there is a time penalty to be paid, although being a group blog makes that (just about) managable. The patience (and occasional tacit support) of our employers has been admirable.

Grilled Fusion Chicken
(4 servings, adapted slightly from Sunset Magazine, the original recipe by Janet Hubbard)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
chopped fresh cilantro (optional, but very good on this)
Marinade Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp. garlic puree (also called ground garlic)
1 T rice vinegar (or use Tequila if you prefer, which the original recipe called for)
1-2 T fresh lime juice (We increased this to 2 tablespoons when we updated the recipe.)
1/2-1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce (We increased this to 1 teaspoon when we updated the recipe; be sure to pick Gluten-Free Worcestershire sauce if needed.)
1/2-1 tsp. grated ginger root or ginger puree (We increased this to 1 teaspoon when we updated the recipe.)
1/2 tsp. ground Chipotle Chile Powder (or less if you're making for kids or don't want it very spicy)
1/2 tsp. salt
Turn chicken over and cook about 4-8 minutes on the other side, until chicken feels firm but not hard to the touch when you press on it with your fingers. (Actual cooking time will vary depending on chicken temperature and how hot your grill is. You can also test the doneness with an Instant-Read Meat Thermometer).
This chicken could also be cooked in a stove-top grill pan with ridges or a George Foreman Grill with good results. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro if desired.

Maybe you're working for a software company that suddenly faces a free cloud-based solution (funded by advertising). Or perhaps you're in a clothing retail chain whose market share is under attack from an offshore company using webcams to offer virtual fitting rooms and cut-to-order clothing. If you are employed by a brick-and-mortar retailer of DVD rentals, music, or books, you've already been disrupted and have either found a safe niche to hide in or are in the process of liquidating your stock.
Disruption cannot be avoided. Today, rapid changes in technology, customer preferences, competitive capabilities, market dynamics, even government regulations, make continual adaptation a requirement to avoid disruption, which can result in market share and even business loss. Can you help your company prepare for disruption? Even more valuable: Can you help your company be the one that has the insights to disrupt its competitors?!
For market insights professionals, the constant threat of disruption creates a new mandate: Provide the insights that help stakeholders understand where, what, how, how much, and why changes need to be made. So:

I am a technical communicator and IT trainer by profession and work in the IT and finance industries. In recent years I have found that I am editing technical documentation submitted to me by writers from countries such as China, India and Eastern Europe. The standard of communication is generally good, however, there are consistent problems, for example, missing conjunctions, incorrect use of capitalisation and prepositions, etc.
These are not big problems but I feel I am in a good position to help some of the writers. For example, by creating training and support material that may help overcome these problems as well as enhancing the writers' professional experience.
It would help me if I could achieve an ESOL/EAL certificate in order to demonstrate to students that I am qualified to help, also to enhance my own understanding. Is there any advice about the most appropriate course I could take, who offers it, how long it will take and how much it is likely to cost? I'd appreciate any advice other forum members can give me. Thanks. Jane

Last week we secured permission from a farmer to hunt geese in a certain stubble field the following day. A few hours after we had talked to the farmer, another group of American hunters contacted him, as they also wanted to hunt the 1/4 section. The farmer turned them down. Later that afternoon as the geese were feeding in the field, the farmer observed the other group of hunters, drive out through the field at a high rate of speed, flushing the birds off. Thanks guys.
A few days later, I contacted another farmer to secure permission to hunt a barley stubble field. He was not happy with American hunters, and asked if I was part of the group from a particular state (not the same group that truck flushed the birds). I advised I was not. It seems these other hunters had hunted the same field the previous week. They had used a pickup truck to push around some large round bales. As they did, they broke so many strings on the bales, that the bales fell apart when he tried to load them on a wagon. I spent a good part of the afternoon visiting with the farmer, and was able to hunt the field the next day. Again - thanks guys.

Looking to work abroad for a few months to a year. I have a business degree from a highly accredited university. I'm more than willing to get my TESL certification if necessary. Currently 24 years old, male, Asian.
I don't want to pay an arm and a leg to be placed into a program or scammed. What reliable resources can I look into and what destinations would you recommend based on my experience and demographic? If I'm applying in the next month or so, when is quickest I may be placed into a teaching position?
Thanks in advance.
Naive but curious.

Why Don't You?
May 6th, 20120
We have reached The May Day bank holiday weekend, which signifies the start of summer (we know, we had to stifle our laughter too). We hope you are winding down nicely from a very wet week and if you have plans, we trust that they don't necessarily involve standing around in the great outdoors (that excludes football matches, picnics and outdoor festivals). However you could just ignore the weather, don your waterproofs and go for it anyway. For those of you wishing to venture out, here is a selection of events being held up and down the country.
If you live on or near the Isle of Wight, why not visit Mayfest, in Yarmouth. It is a traditional May Day Festival, it's free to get in and it features a flag waving procession, morris dancing, and acoustic musicians.
Are you a foodie? If so and you live in the south east, Hampton Court Palace are hosting a food festival. There will be workshops, tastings of Champagne & Cavier, and various Michelin Star chefs will be demonstrating their celebrated techniques.
Haven't had your fill of politics last week? You could enjoy a guided tour around the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. The tour is free of charge and runs all weekend. It covers a visit to The Debating Chamber, The Garden Room and The Committee Room. You will learn all about the work and the history of the Scottish Parliament and about the architecture of the building itself.
If you fancy a walk, why not go for a Welsh walk? The Wales Coast Path opens this weekend. The route follows 870 miles of welsh coastline, winding through villages and towns, along cliffs and sandy beaches. Over the bank holiday weekend Ramblers Cymru are organising The Big Welsh Costal Walk, which is a series of led walks. This event could be the biggest mass participation event that Wales has ever seen.
If you live in the midlands or Birmingham, Warwick Castle is holding May Day celebrations from May 4th to 7th. Visitors can see the Warwick Warriors battle it out in the courtyard. However if you fancy attending something more peaceful, you can watch the flight of the beautiful Golden Eagles over the castle walls.
However you decide to celebrate May Day, we hope you have a great time and don't forget, Bravissimo has stores all over the UK. So if you are out and about, please pop in and say hello, even if it's just to shelter from the rain.

Bradley Rally Ends Phoenix 2012-13 Season
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
PEORIA, Ill. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Visiting Green Bay (18-16) held a lead for much of the second half at Bradley (17-16) on Wednesday night in the opening round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, but the host Braves, who are 13-4 at home this season, used a big advantage at the free-throw line to rally past the Phoenix 75-69 at Renaissance Coliseum. The loss ends the season for the Phoenix, who was making its ninth postseason appearance.
Behind the outside shooting touch of junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) and the play of freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.), Green Bay led 33-24 at halftime. Brown knocked down his first two three-pointers and had 12 of his 23 points in the first 20 minutes while Fouse had nine points and 10 rebounds at half. Brown finished the game 9-of-16 from the field and went over 1,200 points for his career.
Brown and sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) got off to a strong start in the second half, putting the Phoenix ahead by 11 early in the period. After the Braves had closed to five points, senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) capped a 6-1 spurt and Green Bay led 49-39 with 12:43 remaining.
The host Braves chipped away at the lead from there on the strength of 16 free throw makes in the final 12 and a half minutes. During a 14-2 Bradley run that turned a nine-point deficit into a 61-58 lead, leading scorer Walt Lemon, Jr. scored 10 points.
After a timeout from head coach Brian Wardle, Brown converted a layup and foul on the next possession to tie the game at 61-61 with 4:26 to play. Bradley's Tyshon Pickett scored the next four points for the Braves before a layup from Sykes made it 65-63 at the 2:53 mark.
Green Bay forced a miss and then got the ball in the hands of Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.), but the sophomore missed in the paint before a technical foul was whistled on the Phoenix bench. Lemon, Jr., made the two free throws before another Sykes bucket at the 1:15 mark.
The Phoenix forced a desperation three at the end of the shot clock, but the ball bounced off the bottom of the backboard right to Will Egolf, who scored for a four-point lead with 40 seconds left and the Braves closed the game at the free-throw line.
Sykes scored 10 points after halftime and finished with 18 points and five assists without committing a turnover for the Phoenix. With 539 points this season, Sykes scored the eighth-most points in a season by any Phoenix player and the most by any sophomore in team history. The First-Team All-Horizon League point guard will enter his junior season with 874 career points, more than any Phoenix player through his sophomore season except Tony Bennett and Dennis Woeffler.
Senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) scored all 10 of his points in the second half on Wednesday night and finished his two-year career with the Phoenix with 544 points and 368 rebounds.

Some more slug setups and ideas.
First is USS brand sabot that European cartridge has, without
locked base, a discarding 12ga sabot, with .629" brass slug.
It is as accurate in rifled barrel as its locked on base
counterpart, in smooth barrels. Up to 750 gr brass slug
I tested. 3 shots in an inch, 30yds.
Shown with BPI powder cup seals.
2nd is the USS slugs with locked on base for comparison.
With corresponding length cases they were designed for.
3rd are heavy solid tungsten slugs, the smaller .580" cal and
1200gr, the bigger ones .660" cal and 2200 gr.
A guy in Southern MI made a few for me to check out. Now these
too hard to fire fullbore, damage rifling, must be in plastic.
These are just what the super heavy slug guys might like.
4th is a 1000gr 58cal tungsten slug in a 12ga REM style
58cal sabot. Notice how short it is for being super heavy.

Alessandra Ambrosio Flaunts Flawless Figure For Made in Brazil Mag
Just four months after giving birth to her second child, Alessandra Ambrosio surely made women worldwide envy her flawless post-baby physique.
The 31-year-old supermodel quickly got back to her roots as she posed for a racy, ocean-side Made in Brazil magazine photo shoot in September, where she showed off her curves in barely-there ensembles.
Not only does the mag's website offer up a few previews of the sultry pics, but Alessandra also took to her Twitter page to show off even more, writing, "Just posted the Made in Brazil video! The issue comes out tomorrow hope you guys like it!!"
Speaking about getting back into shape after having her son, Noah, Ambrosio told Us Weekly, "This time I didn't really gain a lot of weight," adding, "I was actually trying to be as healthy as I could. The first time I gained a lot of weight and it was hard to lose it."
Check out the video below and let us know what you think!

The Costs and Benefits of Short Selling
January 2010
Moderator: Welcome to Research Insights, an occasional podcast from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. We're talking today with Gerald Dwyer, director of the Center for Financial Innovation and Stability at the Atlanta Fed, and I'm speaking with Jerry after his October 2009 conference on the cost and benefits of short selling. Jerry, thank you for joining us.
Jerry Dwyer: It's a pleasure to be here.
Moderator: I'd like to begin with a real simple question, and that is, what is short selling?
Dwyer: Short selling's actually really simple. It's in the stock market, generally, that we are talking about, and short selling just means that you sell stock and you actually don't own it when you're selling it, and that's literally what it means.
Moderator: OK, and this is a very active marketplace in the trading community?
Dwyer: Yeah, lots of people short sell. Actually, I even know some people as individuals who do, so you can do it as an individual. Large institutions do it all the time. They'll do it for lots of different reasons. One reason might be that you think the price of a stock is going to go down. So the idea is, is you sell it today, and then you have to buy it back tomorrow, or some other time in the future, and if the price goes down in the meantime, then you gain that. If the price goes up, you lose. And so one of the disadvantages from a personal standpoint of short selling—and the reason most individuals don't do it—is you can lose an enormous amount because the price of the stock can go up an arbitrarily large amount, and you can lose an arbitrarily large amount.
Moderator: Well, short selling is not very popular for those who hold the stocks and run the businesses; it is often criticized in the marketplace. So, tell us why that's the case. What are the costs of this activity, the cons of it?
Dwyer: Well, if you're running a company and somebody sells your stock with the hope of buying it back for less later, what that means is they're betting the price of your stock is going to go down. And so they're betting that bad news is going to come out about your firm, and implicitly they basically think that you're not running the firm very well. And so it's a negative vote for what you're doing. And so naturally enough, people don't like that. That's part of the reason that the people who run firms don't like it.
In terms of costs, I think the major things that really arise there is, short selling historically is associated with what's called a "bear raid." That term gets used in a way that's well beyond what it really means. But basically, the idea is the following: If I sell enough of the stock in a short period of time maybe I can drive the price down, and if I can drive the price down, then I can buy it back at a lower price, and I make money... cool! And so that's a good deal. And so the idea is, it can introduce volatility in the stock price that wouldn't be there otherwise. I actually think a lot of the negative connotations associated with short selling are actually related to just selling something you don't own. It's like if I sell you a car and I don't even own it. It just seems like a bad idea.
Moderator: So that's a perception problem?
Dwyer: Yeah.
Moderator: But in reality we know that short selling has a viable role in the marketplace, and it serves a purpose, so let's look at the other side of the token here. Can you talk little bit about some of the benefits that short selling provides and why it serves a viable function?
Dwyer: Well, the reason financial economists, in general, don't have any trouble with short selling, even though other people do, is because if I think a firm is going to do badly, and I'm willing to bet my money that it's going to do badly, then I'm going to sell the stock short. And that's basically a way of registering that opinion. And so it's controversial, but one of the things that ends up happening is that the stock price then reflects those negative views as well as the implicit positive views by the people who are holding the stock. So part of the idea is, if you don't have people short selling because it's not allowed, then basically what happens is the only people whose views are reflected in the stock price are people who have a positive view. And, like I say, it's a little bit controversial, but a lot of people think that means that the stock price actually ends up being artificially high. So, if you're running the company you like that. The higher it is the better, and if it's artificially high—hey, I don't know artificial versus real.
Moderator: Well, of course you can always cast a negative vote on a business by selling the stock itself.
Dwyer: Well, but if you don't own it, you can't sell it.
Moderator: But if you own it...shareholders...
Dwyer: I mean, implicitly you're casting a nonpositive vote if you don't own it.
Moderator: Right.
Dwyer: That's true. But you can't—you're not casting a negative vote. It's a little stronger.
Moderator: Short selling introduces information in the marketplace that's useful?
Dwyer: Yeah, and it makes the prices more informative. I mean it does introduce certain kinds of volatility, I think on a fairly predictable—but not too predictable, but kind of predictable way—at least, after the fact you can see it. Whereas if the price of the stock rises, then what ends up happening is that a lot of people that are short get margin calls. And so they end up having to buy to it back, and that makes the price go even higher temporarily, and then it will come back. So it does introduce certain kinds of volatility, but at the same time it means the price is a lot more informative than it would be otherwise.
Moderator: Well, let's look back at 2008 and earlier this year as well, when short sellers had a field day with bank stocks. Should we learn anything about that experience?
Dwyer: It's not obvious that the short sellers drove down the price. The price might have gone down earlier than it would have otherwise because people were selling the stock short. But generally speaking, I don't know of any evidence that short sellers drove prices down below levels that they have settled to since, for example. If anything, they're lower now than you might have thought back then. So, it's not obvious that short selling actually drove the prices down to values that didn't reflect the information that was really available. During the crisis, I mean, what did happen is that stock prices... one of the things is, stock prices were actually just reflecting other things that were going on. With Bear Stearns, they had certain kinds of problems, and so did Lehman Brothers, and those underlying financial problems were reflected in the stock price. So the stock price is really a reflection of the financial crisis and didn't cause it. The stock prices, for most of us, were just the visible way it really hit our retirement accounts very noticeably.
Moderator: So it wasn't the case that the short selling accelerated the decline in the stock?
Dwyer: It probably happened faster because short selling was occurring than it would have otherwise, but it doesn't mean it wouldn't have happened anyway, and that it didn't happen anyway, even with it restricted. I mean, some people have actually tried to tease out—it wasn't one of the papers at the conference, but it's a paper by somebody who was a discussant at the conference—where they've tried to look at what was the effect of the short sale restrictions on prices. And the trouble you run into trying to sort out data during something like that is, there are so many things happening on a daily basis that you can't pick one of the five things that happened that day and say that's why it happened; cause you've got four other things happening, and they could have done the same thing. But, it's possible that prices were lower because people were short selling the stocks or that they rose because of the restrictions, that's true.
Moderator: Well, are there any recommendations that your policy revealed that could apply to, perhaps, help stabilize the financial markets or help us to do better and avoid future crises?
Dwyer: This is actually kind of, paradoxically, the interesting thing, I think, that came out of the conference in terms of an idea. Up until the 1930s, evidently, there was a central location where you could go to buy stock—to rent stock, not to buy it. You have a central location with the New York Stock Exchange. But the idea is, if you want to borrow stock you have to borrow stock in order to sell it short; because you have to deliver the stock. So you borrow it from somebody, and the way you do it now is people just call around to various brokers and see who's got stock that they're able to lend. And up until the 1930s there was actually a central place where you could go and just borrow stock. And so short selling was actually more efficient. It was actually easier to short sell; it was actually a lower cost. And it's kind of interesting; it seemed to me like the major policy implication that most people at the conference took away from it was an idea that maybe a central repository where you could borrow stock would actually make it more efficient, and it would occur more predictably. And so, in that sense it might reduce a little bit of short-term volatility. If anything, it would actually increase short selling, not reduce it.
Moderator: Would that reduce the cost of short selling, the premiums that you have to pay? Would that be the benefit?
Dwyer: Yeah, well, and it would reduce the search cost. What he talked about is that in short selling it's not like the New York Stock Exchange, where you've got some central place you can go. Like I say, you have to call around. It's more like trying to figure out where's the lowest price of gas, so you've got to call around to find out where you can borrow the stock for the least.
Moderator: It's inefficient?
Dwyer: Yeah.
Moderator:So, your idea, or the idea that was put forth, was to re-centralize this borrowing or renting of shares?
Dwyer: Yeah.
Moderator: Well, that's interesting. Thanks, Jerry, I appreciate your time.
Dwyer: Thank you, it's been a pleasure.
Moderator: Again, we've been speaking with Jerry Dwyer. He is the director of the Center for Financial Innovation and Stability at the Atlanta Fed. This concludes our Research Insights podcast on the costs and benefits of short selling. Thanks for listening, and please return for more podcasts.

Specialkayme, take Iddee up on his offer and educate yourself on performing removals. I believe every beekeeper should perform at least a few, you never know when this knowledge will come in handy. All of my hives are from removals and swarms collected from within 60 miles or so from where I live. True feral colonies are the best bee stock around IMO....JP

Inaugural-Ball Organizers Cut Ticket Prices
WASHINGTON—Planners for the President Barack Obama's second inauguration cut ticket prices in a last-minute appeal to meet their target of raising $50 million to pay for the balls, parade and other activities surrounding the ceremony.
An email sent out by inaugural fundraising planners last week touted "special rates we have negotiated for you" for various tickets. A ticket to the larger of the two official inaugural balls could be had for $500.

In Their Words
Compare how often presidents used selected words in their inaugural addresses.
That is half the $1,000 that some people had paid earlier for a ticket, a sign that donors have not opened their wallets as they did when Mr. Obama was first inaugurated in 2009 and that planners were still working to meet their fundraising goal.
Individual donors were not supposed to be doing the heavy lifting for the inauguration. Inaugural planners scrapped restrictions that were in place four years ago, among them a ban on corporate money. This year, planners announced that they would take corporate donations, partly in hopes of easing the pressure on individual Obama donors who were tapped out following the 2012 presidential race.
But people close to the inaugural fundraising operation said that corporate money has not come in on the scale they had hoped. The 2013 inaugural committee has listed only a handful of companies as benefactors, forcing organizers to rely far more on individual donations.
"It's been a tough slog," said one person involved in the fundraising.
At least 13 companies have donated, including Bank of America , AT&T Inc., the Coca-Cola Co. and FedEx Corp. Several labor unions have also given money to the inaugural committee, including the American Federation of Government Employees, the American Postal Workers Union, the Sheet Metal Workers International Association and the United Food & Commercial Workers.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee has not said what amounts they gave.
Inaugural planners predict there will not be a shortfall in the end. Even if the committee fails to meet the $50 million fundraising target it had initially set, it still will have raised enough money to pay for all the events, people close to the effort predicted.
"We are on track to securing all of the resources we need," said Addie Whisenant, a spokeswoman for the inaugural committee.
Mr. Obama's swearing-in ceremony is a public event. Tickets are required for access to some areas close to the podium, but those have been distributed free by lawmakers and are not being sold by inauguration planners. Tickets to balls and some other events must be purchased.
Iris Zuniga, an Obama supporter who paid $1,000 to go to the inaugural ball, said she does not have any remorse about paying twice as much as what the ticket currently costs. "I couldn't attend the first year, and it's one of those things I've regretted," said Ms. Zuniga, who helps run a nonprofit group in Los Angeles that helps low-income families. "It's not even about so much the cost—it's just the moment of it," she said.
Such die-hard supporters are important to fundraisers, because the economics of inaugurations are challenging.
To raise $50 million, fundraisers would have to sell 50,000 ball tickets at the price of $1,000 apiece. That strategy on its own would not work, since the convention center hosting the main balls holds 42,000 attendees. Planners raised $53 million for the 2009 festivities.
Another was that Mr. Obama has had an up-and-down relationship with business interests who are now being asked to underwrite the inauguration. Corporate executives have complained about what they see as antibusiness rhetoric coming from the White House, coupled with efforts to tighten regulations on Wall Street. In 2009, for example, Mr. Obama made a reference to "fat-cat bankers."
Companies such as Microsoft Corp. and AT&T, which have donated, also have had to look past the fact that things have not always gone their way under the Obama administration. Microsoft was dealt a disappointment earlier this month when federal regulators decided that Google Inc.'s practice of steering users of its search engine to its own services was not anticompetitive. AT&T was blocked in its effort to buy rival cellphone company T-Mobile USA and eventually abandoned the effort. Representatives for Microsoft and AT&T declined to comment.
Still, inaugural weekend will offer perks for large-dollar Obama fundraisers, known as "bundlers." On Saturday, some of the president's elite fundraisers gathered for a party at the Newseum, a news-media museum in Washington, where they mingled over cocktails with senior White House and campaign officials.
The White House held a brunch on Thursday for members of the national finance team. On Thursday afternoon, Mr. Obama visited the presidential inaugural committee headquarters to say "thanks" to staff, according to a White House official.

Her 1999 worlds LP Otonal is one of my favorite performances. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYvVzNZNE4E I also loved her 2001 worlds LP performance to Seventeen moments in spring, which I saw live in Calgary.

Hi all.I am trying to finish my FP helmet and I would like to know if anybody have detailed pics of the strap system.
Thanks for the help.
Check out the Pre-Pro #3 images in the Gallery. There are lots of good shots of the helmet's inside that shows how the chin strap is attached with screws, the same screws that holds the ears.
Or here is the ESB Hero
Or you might want the ROTJ Hero one
I think the best help will be from BGHunter.
Hi.Thanks for the info.I am looking for info about ESB version.
Anybody sell a kit like this?.Or,where can I find the different parts?
Thanks for the help.
Attachment 56557
Why not?
No need if you have good padding going on
Firstly each helmet seems to have different weather it hex bot in to the ear or bolt from the ear in to the helmet
When I made my last ESB interior , I got a strap and cup from a police riot helmet (well Kurtyboy actually got them for us) picked up on ebay for not to expensive , and removed the strap for m the riot helmet , top attach them to the helmet,First of I had a nut n bolt system holding the ears on so for the right hand side one of the screws for the ear I made longer so I could attach the strap which Id burnt a hole through I glued washers on either side of the whole on the strap and added a few more washers before screwing the nut on , the other side is a bit different (if your going scren accurate that is) as it has a hex bolt that goes from the inside of the helmet to the left ear, I think this is on ESB only, as PP3 has wex bolts in to each strap ,though you can just repeat the same method as the other side and have a good result ,
Hello all here, yes is very important how we choose the way to use the helmet, here is mine and works well for me, some people use padd, but the best way is what you choose..........thats the way......
my costume:
2 MY JANGO FETT pictures by snowaure - Photobucket
here is my helmet inside:
Thanks for the help BGHunter.Good work!!
I know this is an old thread, but I need to try to get a strap kit for my FP helm. I didn't know its size compared to how big my head was and now that the MQ-1 and visor are in I don't have hardly any room for padding. So to help keep it from moving around, I will use the strap to help secure it, I have the chin cup already ( a DVH cast) but I need a few ideas how to get the straps for it.
Last edited by kurtyboy; Jan 12, 2013 at 5:46 PM.
Finding straps that have buckles instead of snaps is becoming difficult. I am thinking of modifying a hockey chin strap so it will connect to snaps inside the helmet. I know it's not movie accurate, but its the best I can come up with right now.

BATON ROUGE, La. - No. 22 North Carolina dropped games to No. 10 LSU and Tulsa Friday as the Tar Heels opened 2013 play at the Tiger Classic.
Sophomore Lauren Walker notched two hits, while freshman Kristen Brown had the lone RBI of the day for the Tar Heels, now 0-2.
UNC (0-1) will continue tournament action Saturday against Purdue at 10:30 a.m. and Hampton at 3:30 p.m.
Tulsa's Aimee Creger tallied seven strikeouts in seven innings and Haley Henshaw registered two RBIs to lead the Golden Hurricane 3-1 over Carolina in the Tar Heels' first game of the day.
Jill Barrett put the first run on the board for Tulsa with an RBI double down the left field line in the bottom of the sixth. Henshaw clinched the win when she knocked in a pair of runs off a hard single to right field.
Sophomore Lauren Walker responded for the Tar Heels in the top of the seventh with a double down the left field line. Elisha Elliott came in to pinch run for Walker and gave the Tar Heels a run after freshman Kristen Brown singled up the middle.
Junior Lori Spingola notched two strikeouts and gave up five hits in six innings in the circle for Carolina.
The host team set the pace early in the game, plating five runs in the opening frame behind a two-run homer by Tammy Wray.
The Tar Heel defense shut down LSU the following inning before the Tigers scored three more in the third off another RBI from Ray and two from A.J. Andrews.
North Carolina was in scoring position at several points throughout the game, leaving runners on base in three innings. Walker and senior Haleigh Dickey each drew a walk and grabbed a hit for UNC.
Rachele Fico tallied five strikeouts in five innings for the Tigers, giving up three walks and five hits to the Tar Heels in LSU's 8-0 win.

A multi-million dollar ad campaign to raise awareness of Minnesota's new health insurance exchange, MNsure, is using the characters of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, and not just any version of Paul and Babe, but specifically those of the iconic statues downtown Bemidji.
The ads show the folk-heroes getting injured in various scenarios paired with the tagline, "Minnesota, Land of 10,000 reasons to get health insurance."
Some in Bemidji are not pleased by the irreverent use of local statues. "We really treasure those icons," said Bemidji's Mayor Rita Albrecht, "and we've built that brand over many years. So it's frustrating to see that just co-opted away from us in the blink of an eye."
The $9 million campaign which rolls out state-wide beginning today, was created for MNsure by the agency BBDO.

> 303 Fabric Guard 16 oz Case of 12
303 Fabric Guard 16 oz Case of 12
The 303 Fabric Guard is a powerful protectant that will keep your convertible top looking great on the road!
How versatile is this for you: Now you can protect your tennis sneakers, your leather bomber jacket, your pool furniture, and your convertible top with the same protectant! 303 products, the makers of the ever-popular 303 Aerospace Protectant, have created a product for all "outdoor" fabrics. The beauty is that you can bring the outdoors inside, treating fine leathers and suedes, and even silk with this solution.
I'd like to share one of the many feedback letters we received from a married couple in Arizona: "Every weekend I try to spend at least a couple hours detailing my convertible, but I always had trouble finding a protectant that worked well on the fabric top. I ordered 303 Fabric Guard from Autogeek, and now I'm all set for three years!
This product is easy to use and repels water and dirt like nothing else I've ever used.
My wife borrowed it from me one day and used it on the furniture on our lanai. The results were amazing. Thanks Autogeek, we're a 303 family now!"
They aren't alone. Here are reasons why 303 Guard is ahead of the competition:
Protects Fabric.
303 Fabric Guard protects all new or cleaned "outdoor" fabrics from water, dirt, grease and sun damage. Outdoor fabrics include canvas convertible tops, cloth automobile seats and carpets, biminis, and boating enclosures. You aren't limited to just outdoor fabrics, though,
303 Products advises that this exceptional protectant is a useful protective product for fine leathers, silk, footwear, and sporting apparel.
Repels spots and stains.
303 Guard resists soiling and mildew formation, by restoring an effective level of lost water repellency. The non-scientific meaning of this is that
you will not be plagued by spots and stains left from water seepage within the fibers of the fabric.
No Silicone.
Silicone water repellents may repel water just as well as this product, but that's where the similarities end.
303 Fabric Guard will also repel oil, soil, grease, and dust.
Silicone products actually attract dust and soil with a slightly tacky film. Silicone water repellency lasts on average 2-3 months, as compared to 303 Fabric Guard that protects for up to three years on low-traffic fabrics. Silicone has that harsh, pungent smell during application; whereas
303 Fabric Guard has a mild, clean odor.
Of course, once it dries, there is no smell at all.
Most importantly, 303 Fabric Guard is
recommended by industry leaders
that include Sunbrella, Dickson, and numerous makers of patio furniture, marine canvas, and awnings…and Autogeek!
UV Protection.
Like many 303 products, Fabric Guard contains a UV screen to slow the harmful effects of the sun.
Great for Boats.
If you sail, this is an essential product for sail protection.
Also use 303 Fabric Guard on enclosures, and boat and sail covers.
303 Fabric Guard should be applied to new fabrics from the start and on recently cleaned fabrics to prevent future soiling.
The product will bond best to clean, dry fibers.
The surface should be completely dry, and it's best to apply Fabric Guard on a warm day in full sun. The amount of 303 Fabric Guard needed depends on the material. One 16 oz. bottle will treat 50-75 sq. ft. of marine canvas. For lighter, thinner fabrics, less product is needed to get good coverage. 303 Fabric Guard should be reapplied at the first signs of re-soiling.
303 Fabric Guard is a versatile and powerful protectant that has the seal of approval from industry leaders, and hopefully you will agree after your first use! Use it on marine canvas, bimini tops, convertible tops, awnings, leather, all outdoor and indoor fabrics.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Holley Carb
Vetteman, How thin is thin? I have a Corvette/Camaro LT-1 intake on my Chevelle's small block and I have a Moroso 4 hole phenolic spacer there for heat insulation and it is an inch thick. That helps add plenum volume. The 4 holes help with velocity. A more open one helps better with mid to upper rpms. If the car isn't run hard then a 1/4" thick "spacer" isn't gonna help much. It is most likely there for heat reasons. GM also made a heat plate for the Z-28 in the late 60s. Just get that and it'll keep the fuel bowls cooler.
Holley carb gasket
I have a older 4150 Holley mounted on a square bore intake. Carb had a square gasket with a thin 4 hole spacer,with another square gasket. Car ran good. I replaced carb gaskets with this time just a square gasket. Now, why the 4 hole spacer? Too thin to be an insulator. It's the same size as the gaskets. Could it be to help atomize the fuel? I think the engine ran the same,if any difference, not much, with or without the thin spacer. Now, if I put that thin spacer back on, should I now use four hole gaskets instead of the square hole gaskets with my square bore intake? I was concerned about a transfer slot on the bottom of carb that runs between main and secondary venturis. A four hole gasket would cover up that slot, although the thin spacer was anyway. Any thoughts on this?

Alright, whats going on here? Hunkins writes that this is the last issue of PHR. I re-read it and it does not say its Johnny's last issue, (which would be bad enough) And its not the April issue, so..........If this is true, I want to know who to vent my extreme displeasure toward. I should be annoyed that my subscription is payed up for an extended period, but that's nothing!He writes that Car Craft and Hot Rod will be there for us. Bullsxxxt! As a decades long fan and reader of multiple car mags, I will tell you I gave up on CC long ago because they clearly were out of touch with the real world of hot rodders and car fans. (Prostreet is dead! Prostreet is back! Prostreet is dead again!) Got news for ya CC, you clearly have no idea what is going on in the very active car scene in my part of the country, and have missed the mark since the 70's. Subscribed to HR for years also. For the last 4 I kept telling myself "If I see one more gasser, or damned Lumina (Etc) I am gone." And for some time I have been gone. Consistent feature cars that couldn't be driven in the real world, etc, lost my interest long ago. Power tour is cool, but too far away. Drag week is AWESOME, but they cant even figure out how to promote or cover their own event without looking like idiots....PHR was the only magazine that consistently has features, articles and events that fit my interest. Real cars, real useful ideas and how to's and events that I am actually interested in. All professionally presented and executed. Not just superior but FAR superior to anything from the other camps. My hats off to Hunkins, Dulcich, Campbell and the rest for having their fingers on the pulse of the real hot rodder.So whats the deal here? Who do I scream at at Source Interlink/Enthusiast Network to let them know they have really screwed up? Oh, I guess some aspects will carry on online, but its an obituary for us old time magazine readers. Cast off after all these years like yesterdays garbage.This is a real bummer!
Site is slow and said there was an error posting but posted my entry twice. Apologies
---------------------73 Datsun 240Z406 Gen I SBChttp://AlteredZ.com
Yes, I noticed the "Final Issue" text under the title on the cover, and then carefully read Hunkins' goodbye letter telling us the mag is finished. I too will miss the coverage. I still hold a grudge that the Lobe Separation Angle is almost never quoted in the magazine when cam specs are given - making the rest of the cam info almost useless. I'll miss my money that I'll lose on the year and a half of issues I'll never get.The biggest issue for me is this : what will happen to the Engine Masters series? Which magazine will pick this up? Hopefully one of the other 3 from this company that have subscription money from me for the next several years...
---------------------73 Datsun 240Z406 Gen I SBChttp://AlteredZ.com
Personally I feel like some one close has died. But than again I still buy and read the daily hometown newspaper. obituary's and all. Why? Mostly to show my support. I wish PPHR would had said they were in trouble like the newspaper did. They survived because the neighborhood rallied around them to save a valuable resource. I wish we were given the same chance to save PPHR.I feel cheated. The powers to be just don't care. About us or Popular Hot Rodding!RIP
You know it is a shame that corporate America has to kill another great American icon that stood the test of time through the ages. It does not matter who's at the helm at the time of termination, it is the fact this wonderful magazine is being terminated. I recently let my subscription to Super Chevy lapse after 27 years because some of the issues I was getting looked like it was made in someone's basement on a Commodore 64. Yet this magazine, who never let me down on the quality of the pictures and the print is the one who got axed. I would like to said thank you to all the staff members, past and present, who helped to make this magazine something to look forward to month after month.
According to my address label, my subscription doesn't run out until December of 20friggin19! What the hell? Did SourceInterlink not know several months ago, when they asked and I answered, that the mag wouldn't be around for the time I signed up for? Ok, I agree, the $20 - $25 isn't going to break me but come on!Feel like I got screwed by these guys. While I do like and subscribe to Car Craft and read Snot Rod, I like PHR for the tech on ProTouring cars. I want to read about that stuff too, not just go fast in a straight line or about cars made by guys on the receiving end of BIG checks, built from unobtainium.Tell us Mr. SourceInterlink, what about those of us that have subscribed for a while and have subscriptions that don't run out for YEARS from now? Throw us a friggin' bone.You owe us more than "See Ya" Hunkins!
WTF is going on at PRIMEDIA. Popular Hot Rodding is gone! I've been reading this magazine since the mid-seventies. I own a '57 Chevy because of the Project X series. Trying to peg each magazine into its own category a few years ago never really worked. Popular Hot Rodding is the magazine for hot handling, autocross style cars??? What? Never made sense to me. I loved the project cars, and Dulcich's tech articles. Sad, sad, day. Unfortunately probly only the first of many to come. They also made a bunch of changes at Car Craft. Jeff Smith one of the best tech editors was fired. We might only end up with one car magazine, Hot Rod.What about the two years of subscription you owe me???? Rick
I, too, am sorry to see PHR go. Had subscribed in the '90's and let it go for awhile. Always a great magazine. Resubscribed earlier this year and now this. I'm sorry, but Hot Rod just sucks. Car Craft used to be pretty good, but seems like it has too much Hot Rod flavor. Hot Rod is for people who just wants to look at nice cars. PHR was for people who actually worked on their cars, and dare I say, liked to learn more about working on their cars. What a load of crap!
This mag wrote too many Anti-Ford articles. Far too many pro chevy stories with never ending Anti-Ford spin. This went on for decades and this is the result. The Ford Camp for the most part wont even look at this mag. Popular Hot Rodding is considered a insult to the truth by them. GoodBye PHR!
First time I ever posted on one of these forums, but here goes......I doff my hat to my pissed off brethren (and sistern) below. They all summed it up nicely. I had no clue - the PHR website doesn't even address this action other than this forum. I never got my Sep 14 issue (likely the mail service rather than source interlink, in their defense). I guess something was said in that issue from what I read below.I found out because I got a copy of Motor Trend with a card stock cover telling me PHR was now gone and that they would send me MT in lieu of PHR for the rest of my subscription. I don't want MT - not my thing. I have better things to do that read yuppie mags about image-only cars.Like someone said below, I lost a family member. I'll let my remaining SI/TEN subscriptions lapse and buy used issues.Lost another thing to look forward to, but that seems the norm in our culture these days.I bid you a harsh adieu SI/TEN. You got the last money you'll get from me.
Sorry for the multiple posts. Poorly designed website kept telling me post didn't take. Not surprised. If the rest of PHR was managed as is this website, it is no wonder it folded. They should have had some older experience in there rather than a bunch of college trained yuppies, and PHR might still be around. That is all.
Car Craft will be the next to fall! Hot Rod soon afterwards!
Years ago I had the opportunity to interview with Johnny Hunkins for the position that Liz Miles eventually got. After speaking at length with him over the phone, I told him I needed to think it over. Something told me this was not the right move, even if it was just an interview. I even wrote about it.. http://www.amberlightgarage.com/2008/02/opportunity-rang-but-i-took-message.htmlIt's hard to believe they pulled the plug on PHR but I am not that surprised. All media seems to be going electronic. Remember, the company makes the bulk of their money from the companies that place the ads in their magazines. The subscription money is just chump change. If the advertisers go away, so will the magazine. What blows me away is that i just received a subscription offer from PHR in the mail a couple of weeks ago! I'm glad I didn't send in my money... My thinking is that they will keep Hot Rod because it is their flagship magazine. I agree with what others have said in this forum that Car Craft is next. Hopefully Hunkins and the other staff were offered jobs elsewhere in the company. The future does not look too good for folks in the magazine business. I said it before and I'll say it again, print is dead.

Lukas Podolski is confident Arsenal will challenge at the top of the Premier League after breaking their scoring duck at Anfield on Sunday.
The Germany international claimed his first goal for the Club against Liverpool while another new signing, Santi Cazorla, added a second.
Podolski feels the victory was just reward after two frustrating goalless draws, and says it will propel the team to even greater heights.
"We played very well in the first two matches. But when you don't have the three points, the press write that you play no good," he said. "But I think we played very well, we just didn't score a goal.
"We had control of the game and only in the last 10 minutes were Liverpool able to [apply] a little bit more pressure. But we were the best team and we won.
"This is the Premier League and you must fight and run. We do this very well and we pass very well. This is my style of football - I like the style of Arsenal and we have the three points.
"But you must not be happy just with these three points - we want more."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

UNC-Virgina Tech Quotes
UNC Head Coach Roy Williams
Opening Statement:
"Needless to say, it wasn't very pretty ... but during the overtime part, it was pretty. We feel very fortunate. We didn't play nearly as well as we wanted to play but in the overtime, everything we did ended up being ok for us. We got such a terrible start; I didn't think we were into the game. We got it back and got it tied, but made two huge defensive errors in the last two possessions of the second half and gave them a three and a two. At half, they had scored 11 points off our turnovers and we had scored 5 off of theirs and it was a 6 point game. We just had some silly turnovers and two or three terrible defensive possessions. In the second half, I thought we were much better defensively. James Michael [McAdoo] really got on the backboards and kept every miss, he was coming down with the ball on the defensive side and making shots on the other end.
"You've got to win when some of your guys aren't playing well and you don't have everybody. We didn't have P.J. [Hairston], and Reggie [Bullock] and Leslie [McDonald] were 1 for 13 from the three-point line. We still had some guys step up and make some big shots for us. I was frustrated towards the end because James turned it over and then Marcus [Paige] turned it over, which was three of our last four possessions.
"To be honest, I felt lucky to be in the overtime. I told the team, this will be good for us, and I really believe that. We can focus now for five minutes, and it really worked out for us. Desmond got a big tip for us and a big block on the other end. Dexter [Strickland] and Reggie and Leslie and Marcus worked really hard against Erick Green.
"We feel very lucky but we feel good because it's a W. If they ever stop keeping score, then I won't care about who wins."
Regarding Marcus Paige:
"There were a few times in the game when Reggie passed up an open three to pass it to Marcus. I've said it all along, I think he's going to be a really good shooter, though he just hasn't done it yet. And I still believe that. He made some big shots, he made free throws. In the overtime, he was the most important player on the court for us."
Regarding defending Erick Green:
"We tried to keep fresh guys on him but nothing really works because he's really, really good. They set a lot of screens which are hard to get through. Reggie has a little more size and Marcus did a good job guarding him, but everyone has to be aware and stay in a stance. I think we got one foul where he dribbled off and attacked our big guys, but other than that, they were down in a stance. We were lucky because he missed some shots that he normally makes. I feel good about the job we did, but he is hard to guard. I think he's a lead player.
Regarding James Michael McAdoo's Discipline:
"He showed a lot of discipline and maturity the whole game because I was so mad at him in the first five minutes. He tried to dribble through a crowd and had Marcus wide-open on the edge, so I sat him down and let him think about it. We talked yesterday about everybody taking good shots and good shots are where your feet are set and you have a strong base. I thought he was sensational after the first five minutes. He can shoot the ball, but his problem is that he really rushes. He carried us in the long stretch."
Regarding Marcus Paige's confidence:
"I've said all along he's going to be a great player. It's hard to jump from high school basketball to the ACC but it's been a big challenge."
Virginia Tech Head Coach James Johnson
Opening Statement:
"Another hard, tough loss for this team. Hard for all of the guys that played. I thought they played well, I thought we played hard. I thought we executed the game plan, put ourselves in position to win. The things that this team has gone through, the last couple of weeks, to be here, with the ball in regulation to end the game. We put ourselves in great position, we just couldn't finish the game. I thought we ran out of gas a little bit in overtime."
On Green not scoring last 16 minutes in regulation:
"I wanted him to be a little bit more aggressive, but they (UNC) did a really good job. They switched different guys onto him, and put bigger guys on him and bodied him a little bit. They did a really good job defending him, funneled him into the lane and when you get into the lane you had (Desmond) Hubert there and (James) McAdoo there. They did a very good job."
On the game-winning attempt in regulation:
"We went to a ball screen situation for them and then we pulled it back and then he (Erick Green) wanted to stay away from the double team, he controlled it one-on-one and got to a spot to try to shoot over him. I thought he got a good look."
On holding UNC to 55 in regulation:
"They executed the game plan, we took them (UNC) out of their transition. We did a really good job at taking them out of their transition. That's something they really want to do, especially here at home. To hold them to 55 points in regulation, I have to tip my hat to our defense, transition defense, our defense in general."
Dexter Strickland
On the Tar Heels defense:
"We did a great job as a team of containing them and forcing them to take tough shots."
On teamwork:
"Marcus (Paige) did a great job. Reggie (Bullock) did a great job towards the end when it was tied up, going into overtime. And Leslie (McDonald) did a great job. Everybody just played team ball."
On Paige's overtime performance:
"It was very important for him to do that. He stepped up and made big shots. He's a great shooter, and he proved that tonight.
"He's a freshman, so it's scary that he can step it up like that and knock down big shots late in overtime. Hopefully he can continue to do that."
James Michael McAdoo
On his early performance:
"I don't know what was up with me. I played horrible the first three minutes or so, but Coach (Williams) sat me down and other guys came in and stepped up. I tried to come back in refocused and make up for all the mistakes I was making early on, try to make winning plays."
On facing VT's zone defense:
"We knew coming into the game that they were going to be running a 2-3 zone and at first I struggled with it, but we knew how to attack it and we'd been practicing and knew it would be extended. I really just tried to camp out in the middle and when my shot wasn't there kick it out to Marcus, Reggie or Dexter."
On today's game:
"It helps show us how much room for improvement we have, but also, how talented we can be when we do play together as a team. I think we really saw that in the second half."
Marcus Paige
On his success in overtime:
"Part of that came from my turnover at the end of regulation. I was pretty disappointed in myself. To have the chance to get the lead with 20 seconds left and throw the ball away is just a silly error on my part I wanted to come out and make up for it in overtime.
On how the turnover was affecting him:
"After that last defensive possession I was praying that he would miss it because that would have been devastating to me. Just to see that ball not go in and know that we had another chance to come out and regroup and try to get the win was big."
On hitting his first three-pointer in overtime:
"It helped a lot. We were kind of struggling at times with the zone. Whenever we couldn't get it inside to James Michael at the high post we kind of just stood around on the perimeter, so to get one to go down kind of opened things up and really helped out."
