My question is for David Lenz. Would you say these "still" fit your shoes snugly ? I wear the same size 9.5 shoe ( euro 43 ) as you do so plan to get the same size that you bought. Thanks.

Ok they seemed a tad large in the beginning but worked great. My feet were very warm and comfortable on a cold blustery 50 mile ride.
Offseason Cycling Overshoe

- Size Bought: 9-10.5
These are a game changer for winter cyclists who still want to ride with cleats on road of mountain bikes. Normally wind chill freezes your toes on my road shoes when descending a canyon in late fall/winter. Put these on to keep your toes way warmer! they can even go on over the top in street shoes and are a life saver for snowy or rainy days.
I say it runs true to size, because maybe mine have not broken in yet, but... I got the 9-10.5 and I have a size 9 or 9.5 foot and it fits super snugly on my shoes.
Thanks for your feedback David, particularly in regards to size. Would you say they still fit your feet snugly ? I also wear size 9.5 shoe ( euro size 43 ). Thanks again. Stephen
Overshoes for the worst temps
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I made a commitment mentally and with my wallet this winter to keep on riding when it gets in the 30s and even into the 20s if necessary. Plus this winter I am riding several nights a week because the sun goes down way too early in Alabama. I did a ride one day at about 30F, windy with a chill factor of 21F (god knows what it as once you hit 15mph) using some fairly inexpensive LG neoprene overshoes (with appropriate thermal head covering and neck gaiter, Giordana FormaRed Carbon jacket & Giordana Roubaix thermal big tights) so not having enough for a warm core was not an issue. My feet got very uncomfortably cold and I am hot natured. So I read the reviews on this set up, the price was right and I squeezed the trigger on it. Huge difference in the ability to keep my feet comfortably warm in the same conditions with the same kit described. At the same time, these are somewhat clunky overshoes, they are pretty big but you need that pile loft to not freeze your toes off. They are not the prettiest overshoes (again look a little clunky) and don't fit the neatest around the shoe but who cares because my feet are warm and I am riding outside rather than on an indoor trainer which is something I absolutely detest. I get to ride with warm feet on days so cold for here that I am pretty much the only cyclist I see out riding. Works for me. I wear an 11 shoe and bought the size that has that in its range.
Wow, what a product
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Size Bought: 12
This is my first year doing some serious winter bike riding. So I decided to go all out on Wind Stopper Gore bike Wear. I bought the XXL Oxygen Soft Shell Jacket, the XL Oxygen Soft Shell Bibs, the road Over Shoes, thermo gloves, A Castelli WS Balaclava, with Castelli Venti wool socks. Well let me tell you. Its was 12 degrees outside here in North Massapequa, NY but after my 11 mile ride, I was still nice and toasty with just an Under Armour under my jacket and a set of leggings. Had to wear a set of goggle because my eyes tear with the slightest bit of cold wind. My wife said I was crazy, but I wanted to test this stuff out in the worst temperature I have ever ridden. I love the cold and this proved to be the best investment I have ever bought in bike gear. I certainly can say, I love it.. I wear a size 12 and it was perfect
Nice overshoes
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs large
I've only worn these once so far, but like them much better than my various other neoprene booties. I wear Sidis, size 44.5, and Large fits nicely. The windstopper is awesome, warmer than neoprene, and the Neon Yellow is highly visible. They're quite large though -- almost boatlike -- if you're used to tight-fitting booties. I'll be wearing these in future any time the temperature drops into the 40s or below, and my feet will thank me. My only quibble is that the fit is slightly loose on the front of one of the booties and I think they could be tighter; they're well made though and look like they'll last a long time.
Great for cold weather riding
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Keep my feet warm and comfortable in temps ranging from 25F to 40F, over my Sidi road shoes and light merino wool socks, on mostly two-hour rides. They'd probably be too warm above 40F. These are one of those items that I wish I'd bought sooner.

These work well in cold and rain.
Not so great for riding in SNOW
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Excellent quality and construction...really happy with how these shoe covers feel and the warmth they provide. HOWEVER, They're not great for riding a FATBIKE in the snow. The toe continues to slip up over the shoe and does not stay down if you ever have to hike a bike, which happens a lot on a FATBIKE. Furthermore, the sides tend to pack with snow. I wear a size 10 shoe and the size bootie I got was the 9-10.5 size. I'll keep them for riding in Early Spring road rides but these are not ideal for riding in the snow.
Hi ... Which overshoes would you recommend for riding the fat bike ?
Work great in low temps and high winds
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
I purchased these overshoes because the description and reviews were the only ones I found that mentioned actual temperatures or describe conditions similar to those I typically encounter. I wear a 41 shoe with a ratchet closure, which is the upper limit for medium, but the overshoes fit well and are easy to put on. As other reviews have noted, they look bulky, but they do their job. I've typically worn them when the temperature is around freezing or high 30's when there is wind, and my feet have stayed warm for the entire ride. My coldest ride so far was 19 degrees F with 20-30 mph north winds and a wind chill around 3-5F. After an hour and a half, my feet were getting cold, but not uncomfortable, with wool socks on, and I finished my ride without any problems. I later discovered that the soles of my bike shoes are well ventilated, which undoubtedly caused significant heat loss. Under the same conditions last winter, I was lucky to last 30 minutes without overshoes, and my toes were numb by the time I made it home.
Your feet will never be cold again!

immediate difference with the comfort of my rides with warm feet! They block out the wind completely and was better able to feel my pedaling again without cold painful feet! was even able to wear less layers on top because my heat wasn't escaping through my feet.
Warm and slim shoe covers
I wear a size 8 women's street shoe, and the 4.5-6 fit my Sidi Dominator shoe size 40 perfectly. They fit nice and streamlined. The material is just like a softshell jacket lined with fleece. Excellent quality. Now I can wear my comfy vented Sidis in the winter!
No More Numbness!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 9.0-10.5
After several rides in sub-40F temps throughout December and January, I figured it was time to get some overshoes. Previously, I was simply wearing thicker merino socks, and my feet would go numb after an hour of riding. Deciding to overcome this discomfort, I bought these, and matching GBW Universal WS Thermo gloves (GBW004K). Both my toes and my fingers stay warm throughout the ride. In neon, these overshoes provide excellent visibility, especially since the sun rises late and sets early in the winter. I wear a Mavic 42 2/3 size shoe (US 9) and these fit well.
Will you get more 8.5 - 10.5 in stock soon?
- Fit: True to size
My toes aren't frozen anymore!
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
I wear a 41 or 9.5 in women specialized shoes and i ordered a medium which fit with adequate room for a larger size shoe. Overall they are bulky, but have great insulation. I live in the South which does not require something this thick for the majority of the winter. In case anyone was wondering the entire bottom of the sole is out with a band around the middle to keep shoe attached.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Was surprised at how warm these turned out to be, given that they're actually pretty lightweight and not that thick. The wind will never get through theses, same with the wet and cold. Gore-Tex is the best material available for keep the nasty out, but allowing you to breathe. The velcro is exceptionally strong and I expect these to last a few winters. Fit was true to size.
very warm and versatile
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I wouldn't ware these in average temps, but for the really cold days, these keep me rolling, literally!
Hi. Will the Large fit at European size 44.5 or would you move up to the XL. That seems like it would be too much. Thanks for your help.
Winter Biking
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: XL
I have used these twice. As it gets colder, the wind can make your feet cold when riding long distances and these have made a huge difference. My feet do not get cold or numb when wearing. They are a little bulky and look funny, but allow you to get out on your bike in the cold weather without being elected by the elements. I would buy again.

IMAX B6 -- Read this before you buy..
I received my IMAX B6 charger from unitedhobbies.com 2 weeks ago, and had done some testing.
I just want to give it a try. only around $60. Due to the past experience with cheaper chargers from china, I did not put MUCH expectations before I purchased this item. The cheaper charger works, but not working very good -- I will explain this later! 1. The Lipo balance mode (charge & storage) is slow ..... very slow. 2. Inaccurate reading !! So far, I only tested on 3 cell lipos. When charging the lipo, you can switch between the two screen: i) shows the amp, voltage, time, mah charged ii) shows the individual cell voltage. The readings on screen i) a. the charging amp has error ! --> the amount of error changes approaching the end of charging cycle. Initially, the error is a constant. b. the total voltage has constant error ! c. the charged mah has error ! I placed a MedUSA Power Analyzer Pro between the battery and the charger. This power meter is very accurate and I have compared this with my $200 multimeter. Example: When charing my lipo @ 3A, My MedUSA Power Analyzer says 2.72A. The total voltage reading on screen i) is 0.1v lower than my Power Analyzer. When finished charging, the charger's reading says 2753mah charged, but my Power Analyzer says 2548mah charged. BTW, TURN OFF the buzzer -- it is loud and ugly That's the first thing I did to the charger when I powered it on. The readings on screen ii) I will give an example here: I was charging my lipo in balanced mode. cell1: 4.10v cell2: 4.10v cell3: 4.10v cell4-6 not connected. Beautiful, eh ? But, on my expensive multi-meter: cell1: 4.08v cell2: 4.05v cell3: 4.13v The error seems like constant during the entire charging cycle. Someone might say the error is little, but it does not fit my taste. At the end of charging, my multi-meter reads: cell1: 4.18v cell2: 4.16v cell3: 4.23v --> over 4.2 One more big error: While the charger's reading on individual cells are: cell1: 4.10v cell2: 4.10v cell3: 4.10v I switched back to screen i), the total voltage was 12.18. It dose not add up !! |
Last edited by jackyfu; Sep 22, 2007 at 02:34 PM.
Overall, 0.03V overcharging does not seem to hurt the cells immediately. I guess it is still safe.
I will keep it for secondary charing -- meaning -- I use it only when my better chargers are charing other lipos. For people who thinks the errors are acceptable, go ahead. It will work. But, for me, I will not buy it again, I will invest 3 times the money for a charger with accurate reading. |
but but but it's cheap. Funny i had a talk with a guy at my field on wedsday. He showed me his Imax b5 with the nice aluminum case that comes with it. He says it's as good as my 902 from rcaccessories but his only cost $60. I tried to explain that they are not the same chargers, the bantan and the the imax are made in different countries. I told him that the imax jjust copied the display exactly so you would think they were the same. He answer....but it is so much cheaper!
I did say it "works", and "not expensive"....
....just... I want something has more accurate readings. I think this message can help someone who are interested in this charger to make the decision. People who do not mind the error readings, go ahead. It works. But, this will be the one and the only charger I purchase from this manufacturer. |
Recently I bought one ImaX b6 that I am waiting to arrive...
Here in the brazil I paid approximately $140 This is the brazil! If I had read this topic I would not have bought But now i bought I am waiting to arrive.... when arrive I'll test! I wait doesn't have the same problem with the bad functioning of the charger!! But I find that I will have the same problem Bad purchase Sorry for my English... |
I believe the charger should work as long as it is not defective. Just do NOT trust the numbers on the LCD screen without comparing it with at least a voltage meter. |
Which is the advantage to buy a charger if you cannot trust in the LCD screen?
When arrive I'll test! Now I am attempted to buy a MEDUSA POWER ANALIZER or something similar.. But it will be dificil to find in brazil!! I would like to buy a medusa! But I just find the Astro Flight Super Whatt-Meter 101!! Is it good? |
That watt meter should be fine. Initially, the reason I purchase medusa power analyzer pro is because I can connect it to my PC. Then, I found it very accurate comparing with the readings from my multimeter (DVM). |
Yes the medusa is very good! But here in Brazil is difficult to find!! I would like to buy just one time! And buy a very good analyzer! The meduza is the best !!! So probably i'll buy in a america store! But the problem is the taxes that i have to pay for it enter in brazil! more than 80% of the value!!! Then I find that I go to buy one Flight Super Whatt-Meter 101 here i brazil! |
This is not the first China-copy on the market...
As you said, they seldom have the quality, only the "look". Since LiPoes have small margins between "full charge" and "destroyed" this cheap gadget could be quite expensive in the long run. I hate copies, especially when they could cause damages as this might be able to. The problem is a lot of people prefer cheap instead of good. So they are able to earn a lot of money out of pushing those lousy thing to the market. Sometimes I buy some cheap crap just to test them, but I still have to find a copy close to the top-brands in quality. But I know a lot of people are satisfied with third class electronics. I know for sure a lot of people will defend those products. I won`t! When you buy good gadgets after 3 years you have forgot the price but you still have the quality |
This post makes my laugh. So many people wants to buy cheap products , looking for best quality. You got what you paid for. Jacky's review is good and I believe it is an affordable charger.
Many of us bought couples of unexpensive chargers so that we can fly on field continously. Who cares the 0.03V? |
i think a good quality Li-poly charger must take the balance process slowly,maybe very slowly. fast charging need big charging current and last more than battery need,that means some period your battery was in more than 4.2v condition, that will hurt your battey life. there have no enough attention on fast charging hurt battery life,one reason is that the battery life depend on battery material( c),use way etc too.customer don't clear know which one broken the battery. |
i ordered a pair of them just for doing rx and tx packs etc, just cancelled order after having read this lot....as you say if you dont know what its puttin in then it cant be trusted...after using astro 109 and triton i think i'll stick with the expensive stuff!

Two monster hurricanes (Katrina & Rita) ripped thru the gulf where many of these rigs are located and NOT A DROP OF OIL WAS SPILLED. The oil spills that have occurred have been due to tankers splitting open. It is much, much safer to drill for oil and transport it by pipelines than it is to ship it in by tankers. From a safety and env. standpoint, it is a no brainer to drill on both coasts in international waters.
We will always be dependent on foreign oil unless we capitalize on every form of energy at every site. With the current rate of idiots we have in DC, it will not happen. Our only hope is that gasoline prices goes up to 10 bucks a gallon; maybe then the electorate will kick out these stupid politicians.

text: How To Listen When Someone is VentingMark Goulston5/14/13 2:00pmFiled to: communicationlisteningangerstressfrustrationrelationshipsrepublishedshutterstock288EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkEven the most level-headed among us deal with anger and frustration at some point. A common reaction? Venting. We've all done it. But what's the best way to handle being on the receiving end of someone's vent session? Harvard Business Review's Mark Goulston explains. AdvertisementDisclaimer: It's probably not a good idea to read this before you eat.I still remember how it felt when, as a medical student, I drained my first abscess in a patient. We called the procedure "I & D" which stands for "Incision and Drainage." (I told you not to read this just before you eat!)AdvertisementWhen you do an I & D, you locate what is the most protruding and bulging part of the abscess, wipe it off with alcohol, then pierce it with a scalpel. At that point the pus comes out first, followed by any blood. After this procedure, you may put the person on an antibiotic. Over time, the wound heals from the inside out. If you don't drain the abscess first, and just start with the antibiotics, the undrained pus may prevent the wound from healing.Today as a practicing business psychiatrist and CEO advisor, I've noticed that when you're faced with an upset customer, client, employee, shareholder, child, parent, spouse, or friend, it can actually feel like they're bulging with emotion and about to explode. Your instinctual and intuitive reaction may be to try to calm them down, urge them to cool off, suggest it's not worth getting so upset about. And sometimes that may work. But in cases where they're really upset, you may need to drain their emotional abscess just as you would have to do with a physical abscess. In those situations, asking them to calm down before they've vented will be about as useful as skipping straight to antibiotics before cleaning their wound.And yet a lot of people don't know how to listen to someone venting. Usually, people take one of two attitudes. Option 1 is to jump in and give advice—but this is not the same as listening, and the person doing the venting may respond with "Just listen to me! Don't tell me what to do."SponsoredOption 2 (usually attempted after Option 1) is to swing to the other extreme, and sit there silently. But this doesn't actively help the person doing the venting to drain their negative emotions. Consequently, it's about as rewarding as venting to your dog.The way to listen when someone is venting is to ask them the following three questions:What Are You Most Frustrated About?This is a good question because when you ask them about their feelings, it often sounds condescending. And if you start out focusing on their anger, it sounds as if you're coldly telling them to get a hold on themselves, which may work, but more often will just cause the pressure inside them to build up even more. However, asking them about their frustration is less judgmental and can have the same effect as sticking a scalpel into their abcess.AdvertisementLet them vent their feelings and when they finish, pick any of their words that had a lot of emotion attached. These can be words such as "Never," "Screwed up," or any other words spoken with high inflection. Then reply with, "Say more about "never" (or "screwed up," etc.) That will help them drain even more.What Are You Most Angry About?This is where their emotional pus drains. Again let them finish and have them go deeper by asking them, "Say more about _________ ." Don't take issue with them or get into a debate, just know that they really need to get this off their chest—and if you listen without interrupting them, while also inviting them to say even more, they will.If you struggle to listen when someone is venting because intense negative feelings make you feel upset yourself, try this: Look them straight in the left eye (which is connected to their right emotional brain) and imagine you are looking into the eye of a hurricane, allowing whatever they're yelling to go over your shoulders instead of hitting you straight in your eyes.What Are You Really Worried About?This is like the blood that comes out of wound following the pus. It is as the core of their emotional wound. If you have listened and not taken issue with their frustration and anger, they will speak to you about what they're really worried about. Again push them to go deeper by asking them: "Say more about ___________." After they finish getting to the bottom of it, respond with, "Now I understand why you're so frustrated, angry, and worried. Since we can't turn back time, let's put our heads together to check out your options from here. Okay?"As I've written before, when people are upset, it matters less what you tell them than what you enable them to tell you. After they get their feelings off their chest, that's when they can then have a constructive conversation with you.

AACS Revision Cracked A Week Before Release 346
stevedcc writes "Ars Technica is running a story about next week's release of AACS, which is intended to fix the currently compromised version. The only problem is, the patched version has already been cracked. From the article: 'AACS LA's attempts to stifle dissemination of AACS keys and prevent hackers from compromising new keys are obviously meeting with extremely limited success. The hacker collective continues to adapt to AACS revisions and is demonstrating a capacity to assimilate new volume keys at a rate which truly reveals the futility of resistance. If keys can be compromised before HD DVDs bearing those keys are even released into the wild, one has to question the viability of the entire key revocation model.'"

CRICKET: Hubbert injury takes shine off Great Tew victory
8:00am Monday 23rd June 2014
8:00am Monday 23rd June 2014
Great & Little Tew stormed into the last 16 of the Davidstow Village Cup with a comprehensive 121-run victory away to Dorset champions Parley yesterday.
But the gloss was taken of their success by a serious injury to Ashley Hubbert.
The opening batsman gashed his knee badly while diving in to make his ground on a third run.
The game was held up for 15 minutes as he was helped off the field.
Hubbert, who had to retire hurt on 44, was taken to hospital by ambulance.
The injury is expected to keep him out of the game for several weeks.
Hubbert had featured in an opening stand of 92 with Joe White after Great Tew had chosen to bat first on a dry pitch.
White was the more aggressive partner, scoring 53 off 75 balls.
Harry Smith chimed in with 29 off 26 deliveries as the visitors seemed on target to pass 200.
But Hubbert's injury came in the middle of a collapse in which six wickets fell for 21 runs.
A late flury from Robbie Shurmer took Tew to 189-8 from their 40 overs.
Shurmer then blitzed the early Parley batting with three wickets in two overs as they slumped to 3-3.
They never recovered from these blows and their hopes were ended when their Sri Lankan hope Roshan Embalalgama fell to Ian Bryan for 28.
Bryan picked up 3-8 in 7.3 deadly overs as the home side's tail crashed to be all out for 68 in the 28th over.
Shurmer finished with 3-24, while skipper Andy Harris and White each picked up two wickets.
In the last 16, Tew will now be away to Somerset champions Ashbrittle, from near Wellington.
Yesterday Ashbrittle won by five wickets against Ynystawe, the Glamorgan and Gwent winners.

Police say Delaware is facing an epidemic of heroin use because it's cheap, easy to find and pure enough to snort, while the cost of prescription drugs has tripled due to close monitoring.
The News Journal reports heroin seizures by New Castle County police spiked 860 percent compared with this time last year.
Police Chief Elmer Setting says heroin is easily available as prices have returned to 1980s levels. Instead of people chasing Oxycodone or other expensive drugs, he says drug users can obtain heroin on the cheap. A baggie of heroin with 0.02 grams sells for about $5.
State police report seizures of heroin totaled about 471 grams last year from Georgetown to Wilmington. This year, that figure has more than tripled to nearly 1,600 grams seized.

Celina claims first league title since 1995
Western Buckeye League Boys Tennis Tournament
LIMA - The last time Celina was crowned WBL boys tennis champs, the current squad were not born yet.
Coach Toma Hainline remembers, though, as she guided the 1995 team to the overall title.
The current batch of Celina tennis players brought home another title, sharing the overall championship with Shawnee as the league tournament concluded at the University of Northwestern Ohio on Saturday.
While Celina won the regular season title with a 9-0 record, Shawnee won the tournament title with all five sections playing for titles compared with Celina having three title match appearances.
Hainline a had bit of a flashback because this year's team worked out at the former Racquet Club, where the program used to hold its practices and matches. The club also had been the longtime host site for the WBL tournament.
"What gave me déjà vu with this group was that we subleased the Racquet Club and I could train this group with stuff that we did (in 1995)," said Hainline, who shares the WBL Coach of the Year honors with Shawnee's Steve Jones. "I even told the boys (about) running the hill in front of the club, taking them out to the parking lot and running them around the outside courts and doing jump rope and footwork drills. When it was cold and windy, we'd go outside and do all that. I reminded them that of that (Saturday) morning. They worked hard in conditioning to get to this point. They had to let their game speak for themselves."
The NetDogs made good showings in their three title matches, bringing home First and Second Doubles titles and the Second Singles title for a second straight season.
The NetDogs made good showings in their three title matches, bringing home First and Second Doubles titles and the Second Singles title for a second straight season.
Isaac Elston and Kris LeJeune won their second straight First Doubles title in a blistering battle with Shawnee's Timmy Rutter and Carter Jones. The 6-2, 6-4 final score doesn't show how the Shawnee pair battled , especially in rallies at set point and match point in each set.
"We've been working so hard because we love tennis," Elston said. "Ever since our freshmen year, we decided that we really wanted to dedicate our time to tennis. Every winter, we've been inside hitting and working out. The end of a long hard journey."
LeJeune had the serve during both set point in the first set and match point in the second set. Several times LeJeune's serves prevented the Indians from gaining an extra game.
"I think one of the keys to the match was that I served huge today," LeJeune said. "That really opened up the court for Isaac to put balls away. When one person on the team is serving well, you can fall back on that when you're in the corner (of the court)."
In Second Doubles, Kriegel and Weitz faced off against Shawnee's Chris Mart and Troy Brinkman. It looked like Kriegel and Weitz would cruise to victory, jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the opening set, but Mart and Brinkman stormed back and were up 6-5 before the Celina pair forced a tiebreaker. The back-and-forth game continued before Weitz and Kriegel came away with an 8-6 tiebreaker win.
"We were up 3-0. I don't know what happened," said Kriegel. "We played so many tiebreakers this season. We knew how to handle it."
The tiebreaker rally returned the momentum to Kriegel and Weitz, who rolled to a 6-2 win in the second set to claim the title.
"Winning the tiebreaker gave us a lot of momentum," said Weitz, who teamed with Keaton Mohler to win Second Doubles last season. "It took a little steam away from the other team. It was nice we had that (first set) in the bank so we can go out and have fun. It's certainly been fun."
The win marked the last teaming of the pair, as Kriegel will team with Aaron Seibel in the postseason doubles tournament and Weitz will play singles.
Alex Seibel had a bit of déjà vu in his Second Singles championship match against Avinash Rajasekaran of Shawnee, as the pair had just played the previous Saturday in the final regular season league match.
Seibel won the opening set 6-0 and was up 3-0 in the second set before Rajasekaran came back in the second set to take the lead, much like their meeting the week before.
"Second set I was up, then he came back to make it 4-3," said Seibel, who did not lose a set in the league this season. "Like last week, I didn't want to lose a set now. I wanted to get over with it. I knew at some point (Rajasekaran) would get some emotion. He did, and (eventually) I was down 5-4. That reminded me of the last match and I needed to come back."
Seibel recovered to win the last three games to take the set and title 7-5.
The four Celina unit to make the semifinals on Saturday, Aaron Seibel, finished third in First Singles. Aaron, who won Second Singles last season, defeated Lane Mansfield of Van Wert 6-4, 6-2 in the third place match.
St. Marys' Justin Nedderman took home third place in Third Singles, beating Troy Goodin of Kenton 6-1, 6-4 in their consolation match.
The WBL teams except Wapakoneta and Defiance return to UNOH this week for the Division II sectional.

I like Koto Bolofo's shoot for Dior featuring Dutch model Nimue Smit – if I didn't then I wouldn't have posted this under the title of Fashion Faves after all – but I do have to wonder where the Alice in Wonderland theme really fits in with what the fashion house is trying to sell. May contain rabbits? You don't have to be doing drugs to like our stuff but it might help? Who knows?
Odd choice of theme aside, this is a lovely shoot. There's obviously been a lot of thought put into the design elements; the scale of the set props and the surreal addition of swans or stacked chairs or butterflies massed on a tree fits with whatever it is that Dior is attempting to convey. Some great use of light and smoke effects – some in-shot, some clearly in post-processing – round off a great job by Koto Bolofo and Nimue Smit.

Abe Eyes Window for Biggest Military-Rule Change Since WWII
Isabel Reynolds and Takashi HirokawaPrime Minister Shinzo Abe, pressed by China and seeking to strengthen ties with the U.S., is considering Japan's biggest change in military engagement rules since World War II.
Barred by its interpretation of a pacifist constitution from protecting other nations' troops, Japan needs broader deployment abilities, according to Abe, 59. Having increased defense spending two years running and set up a U.S.-style National Security Council, Abe is now seeking to allow Japan to come to the aid of its allies, telling parliament yesterday that "it's about whether we can exercise this right that every country has."
China's escalating challenge to Japan over disputed islands in the East China Sea played into Abe's plans to strengthen the military, said ruling Liberal Democratic Party lawmaker Katsuei Hirasawa. The initiative, which requires backing by Abe's coalition partner, faces public opposition and risks further straining ties with China and South Korea that soured in December with Abe's visit to a war shrine in Tokyo.
"Abe is determined to do this now because otherwise it is very difficult to get support," said Tsuneo Watanabe, senior fellow at The Tokyo Foundation research center. When regional tensions are low "people don't see the need for it."
Secrecy Bill
Abe has shown a willingness to expend political capital on national security. His approval rating dipped below 50 percent after he passed a bill in December to stiffen penalties for leaking state secrets that was favored by the U.S. but opposed by a majority of Japanese. His popularity is back above 55 percent and there are no national elections before 2016, giving him some protection from the fallout of loosening the rules on collective self-defense.
Fifty four percent of Japanese are against the change, according to a poll by Kyodo News on Jan. 25-26. "This is partly to do with postwar pacifist sentiment in Japan, given that Japan was engaged in a very atrocious and damaging war of aggression," said Koichi Nakano, professor of political science at Sophia University in Tokyo.
Raising Tensions
Such a change would also escalate tensions with China and South Korea, where memories of Japan's occupation resonate almost 70 years after the end of World War II.
"Japan should build mutual trust with countries in the region, including South Korea, China and Southeast Asian ones, rather than pursue collective security now," South Korean Vice Defense Minister Baek Seung Joo said, according to a Nov. 6 ministry statement.
Enabling collective self-defense could help ensure the U.S. backs Japan militarily if China asserts its claims over the islands known as Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese. In November, China set up an air identification zone over part of the East China Sea covering the islands, increasing the risk of confrontation with Japan and the U.S.
China Luck
"What is lucky for the Abe administration is that China set up the ADIZ," said the LDP's Hirasawa, who tutored Abe as a child. "That proves that what the Abe administration has been saying is correct. China is taking a stronger and stronger stance."
Japan was stung by accusations of "checkbook diplomacy" after the country contributed $13 billion and no troops to the U.S.-led 1991 Gulf War, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The government then began changing policy, allowing the first substantial contribution of troops to a United Nations peacekeeping operation in Cambodia in 1992. Still, the 600 troops sent to Iraq in 2004 to support the U.S.-led war were limited to non-combat duties and had to be protected by Dutch and Australian soldiers.
Busy Schedule
The move comes as part of Abe's policy of contributing more actively to international security and seeking a higher profile on the world stage, with a busy diplomatic schedule taking him to 30 countries in his first year in office.
"Abe is more of a globalist than just about any of his predecessors," said Alan Dupont, a professor of international security at the University of New South Wales. "He sees a new role for Japan commensurate with its economic and political weight."
Yousuke Isozaki, a special adviser to Abe on security policy, is spearheading the effort on collective self-defense and says the change will deepen security ties with the U.S. and allow Japan to reach out to other allies.
Friendly Countries
"We want to be able to discuss security with friendly countries other than the U.S.,"he said in a Jan. 17 interview. "If we are bound hand and foot, we cannot talk. We cannot even say we will protect one another if something happens."
Isozaki guided Abe's unpopular secrecy bill through parliament while thousands of protesters chanted outside the building.
"There's no time to sit around," he said. The process will accelerate once an advisory panel of mostly academics submits its recommendations in April. Isozaki is looking for the LDP and its pacifist partner New Komeito to adopt a joint position by June, and expects bills related to the change to be presented starting in autumn.
Effective Partner
"Japan will be a more effective alliance partner if its Self-Defense Forces are able to help defend American soldiers or sailors if they are attacked," U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy told the Asahi newspaper in an interview published Jan. 23.
Securing the reinterpretation will be complicated by the need for Komeito's support. "Until now, we haven't done a single thing without the agreement of Komeito," Isozaki said. "Getting their approval is a must." Komeito backed Abe's on the secrecy bill and the NSC legislation.
Isamu Ueda, deputy head of Komeito's policy panel, said he favors Japan's pacifist policy, while being open to possible exemptions such as allowing troops to protect other countries' forces during peacekeeping work.
"We believe Japan should keep its military power to a minimum," Ueda said in a Jan. 21 interview. "Japan should not be involved in international conflicts outside the country."

Fans party it up with Slightly Stoopid in Irvine
September 18th, 2011, 11:30 am by BEN WENER, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTERThe boys from Ocean Beach returned to O.C. Saturday night, and fans from Claremont to Carlsbad schlepped to Irvine's Verizon Wireless Amphitheater Saturday night to see 'em, along with sets from Rebelution and Shwayze & Cisco Adler.
Slightly Stoopid has been making regular stops here for years, including any number of KROQ festivals and an appearance last year at this same venue, when the group was upstaged by a first-rate Cypress Hill during the kickoff of the Legalize It 2010 tour.
But seeing as they haven't put out a new album in three years, we decided to pass on actually weighing in this time. Once this Sublime discovery, led by childhood friends Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald (both of whom handle guitar, bass and vocals), has something new to offer, then we'll have more to say.
Still, we didn't want to let another visit go completely unnoticed. So the aptly named David Bro headed to Verizon to grab plenty of pics for your perusal. Click here or on the pic to see more, or click here to read our chat with Doughty from earlier this week.
Coming up this afternoon: reviews of Ke$ha at Gibson and Don Henley at the Greek.

After Two Years of Injuries, Peter Regin Looks for Another Chance
By Kevin Schultz | Sep 13, 2013 | 1:30PM
SYOSSET, NY -- A free agent signing over the summer, Peter Regin is one of three new faces skating with the Islanders' main group at training camp this week. He's been centering the third line with Michael Grabner and Cal Clutterbuck and looks to finally get back to playing his game after a two-year stretch plagued with injuries. "It was a battle some days," Regin said, recalling how long he's had to work through his injuries. "But now I'm finally through it and I'm excited about being back to being healthy and ready to go here at camp."It's been a long road for Regin as he has spent the last couple of seasons dealing with multiple shoulder injuries, that required two surgeries. He's had a shoulder surgery in each of the last two off-seasons and missed some time last season with an upper-body injury, so he's only played 37 games over the last two seasons. The Islanders signed him to a one-year, $750,000 contract over the summer, sort of a 'show us what you've got' low-risk, high-reward deal for the team."With the shoulder I was out for almost two years straight," he said after practice today at Iceworks. "Once you get the shoulder done, that took me probably nine months to get over that. But then I haven't played hockey for two years, so you kinda have to first of all get back in shape and then you have to get your touch, and your timing back and everything else back. And that took longer than I thought it would because it's the first time I've been out for that long and the first time I've ever had a major injury."It's clearly been a tough couple of years for the 27-year old native of Denmark, and he seems ready to prove that he does belong on the team and in the NHL. When his contract expired over the summer, there was really only one team on Regin's mind to sign with. That was the Islanders, and skating with his long-time friend and countryman Frans Nielsen."[I thought] If I had an opportunity to go there, I would come for sure," Regin said about his free agent decision. He was so eager to come to Long Island, he agreed to the contract in the back of a cab. "Right away, even before I talked to the Islanders, it was my number one priority to come here and when I talked to Snowy, it was pretty obvious that that's what I wanted to do and we got it done pretty quickly."

Any team that is looking for a veteran cornerback is in luck: Richard Marshall has become available.
Per a league source the Dolphins released Marshall on Tuesday. Originally drafted by the Panthers six years ago in round two Marshall spent six years in Carolina followed by one with the Cardinals. He signed a three-year contract in 2012 with the Dolphins.
Injuries limited Marshall to four games in his first season with the Dolphins. In early November Marshall landed on injured reserve.
Cutting him allows the Dolphins to avoid a $4.55 million base salary. He instantly becomes a free agent.

I've heard people talk about Lifechurch.tv for a while now.
I'm in the middle of reading Craig Groeschel's book It.
First Assembly participated in the One Prayer campaign that Lifechurch.tv spearheaded.
But, I've never attended one of their Internet Campus services, until tonight.
Tonight (Christmas Eve), I attended.
I participated in worship.
I chatted with other participating from all around the globe.
I talked with the Internet Campus pastor (Brandon Donaldson)
I followed the notes provided as Craig preached.
I flipped thru scripture as he taught.
I was part of a community.
If you've never have participated in a service at Lifechurch.tv, you should try it.
It's incredible.
Sunday night is First Assembly's annual candlelight service.
We didn't want it to look like what a traditional candlelight service is.
Where everyone lights and holds a candle and sings, this little light of mine.
I'm just assuming, because I've never actually have been to a candlelight service, but that is what I picture in my head.
What it will look like.
We aren't using our main stage at all.
Three small stages in the middle of the room.
Seating in a big circle around those stages.
Additional project so that everyone can see the visuals.
As you walk they walk in.
Simple, live nativity scene in lobby with joseph, mary, and 8 pound 6 ounce baby Jesus.
Then move into the auditorium, with low lights, and piano playing.
It begins.
- Music
- Poetry
- Spoken Word
- Solos
- Duets
- Scripture reading
Like popcorn on all three stages.
All about the miracles that surrounded Jesus' birth.
Lots of them.
Then we tell God that we need a miracle in our life. This is where the candles come into play.
That's all I can say.
I don't want to ruin it.
Your turn.
Does your church do candlelight services?
What's it look like?

Ivory Coast, Togo advance in African Cup
RUSTENBURG, South Africa (AFP) — A virtual second-string Ivory Coast side scored twice inside four minutes to snatch a 2-2 draw with Algeria yesterday at the Africa Cup of Nations.
In Nelspruit, Togo drew 1-1 with Tunisia on Wednesday to complete the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final cast and send the Carthage Eagles heading back to Tunis.
Meanwhile, Didier Drogba and Wilfried Bony struck for the title favourites Ivory Coast after Sofiane Feghouli and Hilal Soudani had put the Desert Foxes two goals ahead with 20 minutes remaining.
When the draw was made last October, this fixture stood out as a highlight of the 24 first-round fixtures, but when the teams walked on to the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace pitch only pride was at stake.
Victories over Togo and Tunisia had clinched top spot for Ivory Coast with a game to spare, while losses to the same countries had eliminated Algeria, who are ranked second in Africa behind the west Africans.
Ivory Coast coach Sabri Lamouchi continued his rotation policy, making nine changes from the line-up that started in an impressive 3-0 victory over Tunisia last Saturday.
Midfielder Koffi 'Romaric' N'Dri and striker Salomon Kalou were the only 'elephants' retained and those recalled included captain Drogba and Manchester City centre-back Kolo Toure.
Algeria coach Vahid Halilhodzic resisted wholesale changes despite losses to Tunisia and Togo eliminating his team. He called up Khaled Lemmouchia and Ryad Boudebouz in place of Foued Kadir and Sofiane Feghouli.
Boudebouz had the best chance to break the deadlock in a boring, goalless opening half, but struck a seventh-minute penalty against the right post and it rebounded to safety.
It was a dubious spot kick on two counts, with Soudani going down far too easily after the slightest of touches from Ismael Traore, and the foul appeared to have been committed ouside the box.
Kalou had a chance when a long ball fell into his path off the back of Drogba, but he blazed the ball over, and Drogba was guilty of equally poor finishing near half-time with a left-foot shot.
In the Togo-Tunisia showdown, Serge Gakpe got Togo off and running but that effort was cancelled out by Khalid Mouelhi's penalty. Both countries finished level on points, with Togo owing their first appearance in the knockout stages at the seventh attempt to superior goal difference.
Mouelhi then missed from the spot late in the second half, his failure condemning Tunisia to an early exit.
The draw bagged Togo the runners-up spot in Group D and a last eight match-up with Burkina Faso here on Sunday.
Group D winners Ivory Coast meet Nigeria in Rustenburg the same day.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1
It's scary to tell someone, "I love you." It's even more frightening to ask, "Will you marry me?"
Still even more terrifying is the answer: "Yes."
Think about the weak-in-the-knees words "I do" and what can follow them: buying a house, having children, moving the family to a different state, taking a new job . . . The list of intimidating, heart-pounding, fear-provoking aspects of marriage go on and on.
Responsibility really hit me when Kelli and I started having children. I thought, "Now, not only is my life inextricably linked to my wife's, and not only do I carry the responsibility of owning property, but now I am responsible for the well-being, provision and growth of other little human beings." What a scary thought!
It seems that in every new stage in life, the stakes get higher.
When you stop and think about it, though, all of the Christian life takes tremendous courage as we commit our lives to God and join others who are called to be God's people. Though we cannot see God, we can be confident of God's goodness, God's power, God's presence and God's wisdom. And yet we still must take that fearful first step of trust.
As Christians, we trust the unseen and base all our decisions about love and marriage on God's invisible reality and the promises he has made. To live the Christian life and to make choices (not only for me, but for my entire family) based on a God we can't see is tough. But the Bible tells us that this is the only wise choice to make.
As we look to Scripture for guidance, we can draw comfort and courage from heroes of faith such as Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses and Rahab—people Kierkegaard called the unsurpassed "Knights of Faith." After commending these and a few other Old Testament believers specifically (see Hebrews 11:4–31), the writer of Hebrews affirmed the many others who had faith to conquer kingdoms, administer justice, shut the mouths of lions and rout foreign armies (see Hebrews 11:32–38). These heroes weren't lauded because they were strong in themselves, but because they trusted God. They were weak as they considered the tasks ahead of them, but when they trusted God, he turned their weakness into strength.
Likewise we are to trust God as we face the risky and intimidating aspects of married life. For as Hebrews 12:1 assures us, we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, and therefore we have the strength and courage to throw off everything that hinders us and move forward in love, confidence and trust. This is the unseen reality that makes sense of our choice to step forward into marriage despite our fears.
David and Kelli Trujillo

Abigail Hernandez search continues in N.H.; state, local, and federal authorities participate
State, local, and federal authorities are searching for a 14-year-old girl who disappeared two days ago near her high school in Conway, N.H.
Abigail Hernandez was last seen around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday near Kennett High School, according to the FBI, which is participating in the search.
"We are here for one reason: to find Abby," said Associate New Hampshire Attorney General Jane Young at a news conference this afternoon. "We are trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together. … We are coming together to find this little girl."
Hernandez was last seen wearing black leggings/yoga pants, a gray-striped, multi-colored sweater, and black leather boots, according to information posted by the FBI on its website. She is 5-foot-4 and weighs 118 pounds, with long brown hair and brown eyes.
Young said Hernandez went to school Wednesday and there were "some indications" she went home afterward. Investigators, who are searching from the air, on land, and on water are focusing on the path she took home, Young said.
She said authorities are also searching social media and cellphone information for clues. Young described the case as a missing persons investigation.
Kieran Ramsey, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's New Hampshire office, said the FBI's Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team was working on the case, along with other FBI units, with agents arriving from as far away as Virginia.
He urged the public to send in tips to the 1-800-CALL-FBI tip line or submit them online at www.tips.fbi.gov.
"Please know that the only thing we want in this is Abigail's safe return. Abby, if you're out there and you hear this message or see this message, please call the police department, your family, or friends so we can conclude this investigation and have your safe return," said Conway Police Chief Edward Wagner.
Young said Saturday is Hernandez's 15th birthday and "it would be nice to have her home."

A bit of a crazy day yesterday as I did not go to bed in Singapore on Sunday night and simply hopped on the airplane at 9:30 in the morning after leaving my hotel at 6 AM. Slept – more or less – on the flight to Dubai, spent a bit of time there waiting for the flight to Paris, then hopped on that and slept one hour and then wrote four articles and read four newspapers, and read four pages of a book, and then took the RER from Charles de Gaulle to the Coolin where I arrived at 10 PM and JUST in time to be served a cheeseburger dinner. But all that is backstory to the evening of music in one of the best open mics in Paris.
Oh, but before I jump into that, let me just add that the coming couple of months are going to be just as crazy as I realized yesterday that basically I will have the following schedule in my life and on this blog: One week in Paris followed by two weeks of tripping around the world, followed by one week in Paris followed by two weeks of tripping around the world, followed by one week in Paris followed by two weeks of tripping around the world, followed by a winter in Paris – what's left of it…and unless someone has an idea of where else I should go over the winter. (To hell?)
It will all be documented on this blog, musically mostly, but of course there could be the occasional day or two of absence while I'm in the skies – or outer space – and when I fail to find a musical venue in any of the several continents I will visit.
Oh, back to the Coolin. So, this open mic that started so inauspiciously a few months ago, suddenly, I'm finding myself going there every week and seeing that if I arrive too late I am No. 113 on the list of performers. I managed to get 16th last night at 10 PM, and that was just fine because I had to eat that cheeseburger and take a shower in the sink of the bathroom and change my shirt, which I said I had been wearing for 22 hours, but in fact had been using for closer to 40 hours, as I had put it on upon awaking Sunday morning at 3 PM.
There were new acts and old acts and in between acts and even very tired acts – notably me – at Coolin. I met several people who were eager to hear me do the same songs I had done the previous week – and the week before and before and before that – but I decided that I had to break into new territory and NOT do What's Up! or Mad World or Father and Son. So I did one of my own and Only Our Rivers Run Free. A complete and perfect failure, is how it felt. I wanted sooo much to wow the world. But I did not want to do the same songs again and again. So I'll just have to learn some more….
I will definitely be Coolin-ing it whenever I am in Paris in the coming wacky weeks… which in fact won't be much.
To the Coolin, in 22 Hours from Singapore via Dubai
September 25, 2012

Brined Salmon On Cuttlefish Ink Pasta
Author Notes: At a friend's home 20 years ago, I first tasted this grilled and brined salmon and pasta. For the next two years, I begged for the recipe and he finally relented.
The marinade brines the salmon and keeps the fish moist. Some people swear it tastes like beef!
Johnny's Seafood Seasoning is the secret ingredient. If your grocery store doesn't carry, you can buy it at www.johnnysfinefoods.com. Oh and mix any leftover salmon with a little cream cheese and capers? Great salmon spread for bagels or pitas! —Mi Casa Del Lago
Serves 4
- 4 teaspoons Johnny's Seafood Seasoning or substitute Lawry's Seasoning Salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/3 cup peanut oil or vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 pounds Salmon filet
- 8.8 ounces package of wheat germ and cuttlefish ink pasta
- Combine the first 5 ingredients in a small bowl and mix until combined.
- Place salmon filet(s) in resealable plastic bag. Reserve 2 tablespoons of marinade and pour the remainder into the bag. Squeeze out the air, seal the bag and marinade in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours.
- Prepare very hot grill or grill pan. Remove the salmon from the bag and sear, flesh side down for 4-5 minutes. Turn to skin side down, lower heat to medium and grill for an additional 4 minutes. Remove from grill and cover with foil.
- Boil 4 quarts of salted water. Add the pasta and cook until aldente; 7 to 9 minutes. Drain.
- Place the cooked pasta on a platter and top with the grilled salmon. Drizzle the reserved marinade on top.

- Twin Cooling Plus System gives you the best of both worlds
The H Series Refrigerator uses two separate air flows and precise temperature control to maintain optimal humidity levels on both the refrigerator and freezer sides. This Twin Cooling Plus System helps keep your apples fresh, prevents your ice cream from getting freezer burn, and stops ice cubes from smelling like the garlic bread you've stored in the refrigerator. - Information and control at your fingertips
Know what's happening inside your refrigerator without ever opening the door. The external LED display, with its pleasing blue glow, shows the inside temperatures for both sides of the H Series Refrigerator, and lets you know when it's time to change the filter. Touch the display to dispense water and ice, or to set the refrigerator to Vacation Mode when you go on holiday. The CoolSelect Zone, the fridge-within-a-fridge feature, also offers intuitive controls that let you change settings at a touch. - Sophistication made simple
As any great chef will tell you, it's all about presentation, especially in the kitchen. The contemporary elegance of the H Series Refrigerator helps inspire dazzling and scrumptious meals. Sleek style - heightened by smooth lines and a polished finish - ushers in a premium feel that complements and elevates your kitchen decor. If your kitchen wasn't already the most popular room during a party, it is now. - Enjoy more ice - and space - with the ClearView Icemaker
Built right into the door, the ClearView Icemaker frees up valuable space in the freezer while storing up to 2kg of ice. This move gives you two more shelves for storing liters of ice cream, frozen meals and family-size boxes of waffles. The ice maker also features a transparent compartment so you can see just how much ice you have on hand. - Easy-opening doors for even the youngest gourmet
Imagine a refrigerator handle that opens up your kitchen. Instead of sticking out into the kitchen space, the EZ Handle is inset into the door. Not only does this add a touch of elegance, the smartly designed handle enables the door to be opened practically at a touch. Just one finger, and minimal exertion, is all it takes. - Shed new light on ways to save energy and space
LED tower lighting runs down the back of the interior, rather than hanging down from the top, giving you more room for tall items. It also emits less heat than conventional bulbs, so the refrigerator doesn't have to work as hard to keep things cool. And since this energy-saving feature shines bright, you'll be able to instantly tell the grape jelly from the strawberry jam, even on the lower shelf.

NACOGDOCHES, Texas (AP) — Thomas Walkup scored 20 points and Desmond Haymon added 18 to help Stephen F. Austin prevail over Towson 79-69 Friday night in an E-Tech Lumberjack Classic matchup.
The Lumberjacks (7-2) jumped out to a 20-9 lead as Walkup had 11 points to spark an early run.
Towson (6-3) stormed back in the second half to take a 59-51 lead, but Stephen F. Austin answered with a 19-3 surge fueled by nine points from Haymon, including a 3-pointer to tie the game at 60. Haymon had 14 of his 18 points in the final 7:16.
Nikola Gajic hit four 3-pointers to finish with 18 points, while Jacob Parker had 14. Trey Pinkney also chipped in a game-high eight assists for the Lumberjacks.
The Tigers shot 55 percent from the field to Stephen F. Austin's 41.8 percentage, but committed 20 turnovers. Jerrelle Benimon and Rafriel Guthrie each contributed 16 points.

On Wednesday afternoon, the group airing the latest TV ad, the Inland Empire Taxpayers Association, reported a $152,000 independent expenditure for TV time. The report showed that virtually all of the money is from the Reform California Now Independent Expenditure Committee.
The committeeâs biggest donor is the California Real Estate Independent Expenditure Committee ($500,000), followed by the California Chamber of Commerceâs JobsPAC ($255,000), wealthy Republican activist Charles Munger Jr. ($250,000), and the Chevron Corporation ($250,000.)
Roth faces Republican Assemblyman Jeff Miller in the race.
The National Association of Realtors, which spent more than $700,000 in super-PAC support for Rep. Gary Miller before the June primary, seems to be picking up where it left off.
On Thursday, the Realtorâs Congressional Fund reported a $355,000 independent expenditure for direct mail and $500 for consulting services to back Millerâs candidacy in San Bernardino Countyâs 31st Congressional District.
Miller, R-Rancho Cucamonga, is running against state Sen. Bob Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga, in November.
Itâs no secret that Miller is being backed by the GOP establishment in his race against Dutton, but in case there were any doubts, he made sure to drop a few hints at a forum before a crowd of the party faithful Wednesday.
Miller, who recently moved to Rancho Cucamonga from Diamond Bar, dropped Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryanâs name a few times throughout the evening.
âPaulâs a good friend and heâs endorsed me for Congress,â Miller said.
He added that Ryan hosted a fundraiser for him earlier in the year and he is a strong supporter of Ryanâs budget plan. And he mentioned that both were fellow Congressional freshmen elected to the House of Representatives in 1998.

Looking back at the Lakers draft-pick dumps
May 5th, 2011, 9:28 am by Earl Bloom, staff writerIf you listened to Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak at the 2009 NBA draft, you'd have to conclude Toney Douglas, Marcus Thornton, Chase Budinger and Wesley Mathews couldn't have made their 15-man roster.
"With our situation, you don't want to draft players that can't make your team because your roster's full," Kupchak said, after selling the Lakers' first-round pick (Douglas) to the New York Knicks. "So we may look to move or to exchange our draft picks for future picks or whatever we choose to do."
The Lakers, coming off a title, were looking at trying to re-sign free agents Trevor Ariza, Lamar Odom and Shannon Brown. Plus, that Kobe Bryant max contract was looming on the horizon.
So, for $3 million and a 2011 second-round pick, the Lakers sent 29th-pick Douglas to New York.

Obama says reform ahead for NSA surveillance program
Washington — Responding to critics, President Barack Obama promised Friday to work with Congress on "appropriate reforms" for domestic surveillance programs that were thrust into the public eye by leaker Edward Snowden, pointing the way to what could be the most comprehensive changes since the anti-terrorist Patriot Act was passed in the wake of the Sept, 11, 2001, attacks.
"Given the history of abuse by governments, it's right to ask questions about surveillance, particularly as technology is reshaping every aspect of our lives," Obama said at a White House news conference shortly before a scheduled departure on a weeklong vacation to Martha's Vineyard. "It's not enough for me to have confidence in these programs. The American people have to have confidence in them as well."
Obama announced a series of changes in a program that daily collects millions of records of phone calls made by Americans and called on Congress to work with him to rein in the National Security Agency's collection of Internet and phone data.
Under pressure to respond to the disclosures by Snowden, Obama plans to overhaul Section 215 of the anti-terrorism Patriot Act that governs the collection of so-called "metadata" such as phone records.
Obama will also pursue with Congress a reform of the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which considers requests from law enforcement authorities to target an individual for intelligence gathering.
Obama wants to let a civil liberties representative weigh in on the court's deliberations to ensure that an adversarial voice is heard and will form a high-level group of outside experts to review the U.S. surveillance effort.
Obama met with the CEOs of technology and telecoms companies such Apple Inc and AT&T Inc on Thursday to discuss government surveillance. A Google Inc computer scientist and transparency advocates also participated in the meeting, according to the White House.
Obama also said Friday that he hopes to provide more details about the NSA programs to try to restore any public trust damaged by the Snowden disclosures.
The Patriot Act, launched by then-President George W. Bush after Sept. 11 was initiated as a terrorism-fighting tool to prevent a similar attack from ever happening again. But frequent questions have been raised about the scope of the law and whether its sweeping tactics allows unwarranted intelligence gathering on innocent Americans.
As for Snowden, recently granted temporary asylum by Russia, Obama said he is not a patriot, as some have suggested, and challenged him to return to the United States to face espionage charges.
The hour-long news conference ranged over numerous issues, although Obama became especially animated when the questions turned to Republicans in Congress. He said they would risk the wrath of the public if they vote to shut down the government this fall in an attempt to cut off funding for his signature health care program.
He said that while he was receptive to House Republicans proposing an alternative immigration bill, his preference was for a vote on a Senate-passed measure that combines border security with a chance at citizenship for millions of immigrants living in the country illegally.
He said he was "absolutely certain" such a bill would pass in the GOP-controlled U.S. House.
Nor did he mince his words about the U.S.' deteriorating relationship with Russia. He said President Vladimir Putin's recent decision to grant asylum to Snowden was merely the latest in a series of differences between the two countries, including a response to the Syrian civil war and to human rights issues.
"I've encouraged Mr. Putin to look forward rather than backward," Obama said, evoking memories of relations between the United States and the former Soviet Union.
The president, who just this week canceled a planned summit meeting with Putin, said, "It is probably appropriate for us to take a pause, reassess where it is that Russia is going, what our foreign interests are and calibrate the relationship."
Obama also said he has a range of candidates he is considering to become chairman of the Federal Reserve, a nomination he likened in importance to selecting a Supreme Court justice. Among the contenders are former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and Janet Yellen, the vice chair of the Fed, he said, adding that whoever replaces Ben Bernanke must focus his attention on keeping inflation in check and helping strengthen the recovery from the worst recession in decades.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Israel says it has thwarted an Al Qaeda plot to destroy the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv with suicide bombs.
The Shin Bet, Israel's internal security agency, arrested three Palestinians on December 25th after they allegedly were recruited by Al Qaeda over the Internet, said Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
The attackers planned simultaneous suicide attacks on the International Convention Center in Jerusalem and the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv. One of the suspects, a truck driver named Abu Sa'ara, was supposed to borrow a truck from a friend. He would load the truck with bombs, and then provide five more terrorists with forged Russian identification papers that would allow them to enter Israel. Three of the terrorists w0uld detonate themselves at Tel Aviv's International Convention Center, and also attempt to kill any rescue personnel who arrived after the explosion. After the explosion, Abu Sa'ara would detonate his truck, killing more bystanders and rescuers. At the same, the two remaining suicide bombers would blow themselves up at the entrance to the U.S. embassy.
"The recruiter, who identified himself only by the religious nickname Arib al-Sham ('the outstanding one from Syria'), told them that he worked for Ayman al-Zawahiri, who took over the leadership of Al-Qaeda after the Americans killed Osama bin Laden in May 2011," Haaretz said.
The Al Qaeda handler sent Abu Sa'ara computer files on how to build bombs, and also discussed flying him to Turkey so he could cross into Syria for training at a camp run by Al Qaeda, which has taken advantage of the Syrian civil war to establish safe bases in northern Syria.
Would the plot have worked? The U.S. Embassy in Israel is pretty well-guarded, and Israel devotes a lot of resources to security and anti-terrorism. On the other hand, I was in Jerusalem in 2011 hours after a bomb at a bus stop killed a British woman. I still remember the shrapnel embedded in a nearby telephone booth. So even Israeli security can be penetrated.
The other question is, was this a serious plot, or are Israeli authorities exaggerating the threat as governments are sometimes prone to do? We may never know for sure, but this much is clear: blowing up American embosses is an Al Qaeda specialty. On August 7, 1998, simultaneous car bomb attacks killed or wounded more than 4,000 people - mostly non-American bystanders - at the U.S embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. The bombers were affiliated with Osama Bin-Laden and Al Qaeda.
