*Restate: The Group started to make adjustments to business segments in the current fiscal year:
1. A sub-segment of the "Supply Chain Services Segment" will be devoted to the provision of professional supply chain management services including one-stop logistics and maintenance services, to hi-tech corporate customers and industry customers; another sub-segment will provide purchasing services to chain electronic stores (CES) for terminal products such as PC, notebook, smart devices, digital products, where CES is deemed as a retail format and an effective complement to the Distribution Segment which aims at a comprehensive coverage of all business formats. Therefore, this sub-segment has been reallocated to the Distribution Segment. In order to provide a more appropriate presentation for the Group's operating segment information, the Group reallocated this sub-segment from the "Supply Chain Services Segment" to the "Distribution Segment" at the start of this financial year and the relevant results for the corresponding period of last financial year have been restated accordingly;
2. A sub-segment of the "Distribution Segment" will continue to focus on full channel coverage for all retail formats for IT products and devices, developing and supplying IT products and solutions of broader variety and higher value to consumer and SMB customers. Another sub-segment in the original Distribution Segment, covering products such as PC, servers, will become an important part of IT infrastructure building in line with the development of cloud computing, which will be more compatible with the business positioning of the Systems Segment, which aims to become a supplier of IT infrastructure products and solutions. Therefore, this sub-segment has been reallocated to the Systems Segment. In order to provide a more appropriate presentation for the Group's operating segment information, the Group reallocated this sub-segment from the "Distribution Segment" to the "Systems Segment" at the start of this financial year and the relevant results for the corresponding period of last financial year have been restated accordingly.
Business Review
Services Business (primary focus on the Industry Market, offering IT planning and IT systems consultation, design and implementation of industry application software and solutions, outsourcing of IT system operation and maintenance, as well as products and services in systems integration and maintenance)
During the Period, the Services Business reported turnover of approximately HK$6,755 million, up 30.21% year-over-year. Turnover from the Services Business for the third quarter increased by 68.31% year-over-year, reflecting realisation of deferred customer demand. Management of the Group made proactive adjustments to its business strategies in response to volatility of industry market and succeeded in orchestrating substantial growth for the Services Business as a whole by integrating the Group's resources and strengthening business development in the government corporation industry and the financial industry to capture opportunities arising in these sub-segments. During the Period, the financial and government corporation sectors reported strong growth rates of 56.97% and 57.37%, respectively.
The Group continued to drive its transformation to a services-oriented business and to enhance the development of pure software and pure services businesses in various industry sub-sectors. Related to the financial industry, a new business model of "Financial Cloud Services" has been widely accepted by the market and customers, as more than 50 township banks have been signed up for the provision of operational services such as core business systems, credit systems and Internet banking systems. Moreover, in addition to ongoing provision of software and services to the State Administration of Taxation, our taxation business continued to sign up new customers including the Shandong Local Taxation Bureau, Ningbo Local Taxation Bureau, and Hainan Local Taxation Bureau. Breakthroughs in tax payment services have also been achieved with the successful implementation of online tax payment at Guizhou Local Taxation Bureau, Guizhou Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation, Shaanxi Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation, Gansu Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation and Anhui Local Taxation Bureau.
With the benefit of its focus and vision in the development of the Sm@rt City, the Group launched the nation's first integrated citizen services platforms in Fuzhou and Foshan on a pilot basis in December 2012. The platforms marked a change of the role of the Group in its Sm@rt City business from a solution provider to an operational services provider, and further reinforced its position as an expert in Sm@rt City. For the nine months ended 31 December 2012, the Sm@rt City business operated in 69 cities across the nation and the contracts signed for solutions and projects increased by 41%, with solutions being implemented in numerous cities across nation. Following the growing maturity and successful implementation in various cities of the citizen card project and meat and vegetable source system, data application solutions were also implemented in Wuhan, Lanzhou and Xinjiang, while cloud computing solutions were successfully implemented in Lanzhou and Zhangjiagang, with exponential growth in contract amount signed.
Distribution Business (primary focus on the SMB & Consumer Markets, engaging in the distribution of general IT products such as notebook computers, desktop computers, peripherals, accessories and consumer IT products)
There was a notable decline in the businesses of our principal products of notebook computers and peripherals in 2012 as the impact of the macroeconomic slowdown became evident on demand in the IT consumer market. The effect of new products and technologies launched in the third quarter of the financial year as a driving force for the consumer market has yet to be recognized. During the Period, the Group was increasingly concerned with stable and healthy business development, as it resolutely strengthened the implementation of its business strategy of "streamlined establishment with enhanced efficiency." Through stringent management over the input of business resources and corresponding output, proactive measures were taken to streamline and cut back product lines with low output, while continued efforts were made to enhance in-depth cooperation with vendor-ends and the channel-ends. These efforts have resulted in the retention of stable market share. During the Period, the Group's Distribution Business reported turnover of approximately HK$28,445 million, a slight decrease compared to the corresponding period of last financial year. Gross profit margin for the third quarter improved significantly subsequent to a temporary decline in the second quarter owing to stock clearance measures to avert potential business risks.
During the Period, the Group's coverage of CES and e-commerce channels was enhanced by further breakdown of channels and close monitoring of changes and development in retail formats. The Group continued to enhance cooperation with large-scale retail hypermarkets. In particular, we have strengthened cooperation with Gome and Walmart in connection with Apple products. During the Period, CES business reported rapid growth of 45.63% year-over-year. In connection with e-commerce, the Group strengthened strategic cooperation with core customers such as 360buy, 51buy and Suning, etc to leverage growth opportunities in the e-commerce industry and sustain rapid growth for e-commerce business, so that it will provide another important source of revenue in addition to the traditional IT product channel and CES channel.
Systems Business (primary focus on the Enterprise Market, offering value-added distribution of systems products such as servers, networking products, storage products and packaged software)
The Systems Business of the Group effectively capitalised on opportunities arising from market growth in the first half of the year and reported significant growth. During the Period, turnover amounted to approximately HK$20,620 million, up 13.48% year-over-year, while gross profit margin also increased by 53 basis points to 9.19%, offering effective support to the achievement of the Group's overall results. While demand in the Enterprise Market was affected by the growth slowdown of macro-economy in the third quarter of this financial year, profit growth for our Systems Business remained robust thanks to our efforts to increase our quarterly gross profit margin and stringent internal management control.
During the Period, The Group's Systems Business worked closely with key vendors. Through effective market share management, cooperation in existing businesses was fortified to secure stability and growth in market share for major areas. Moreover, we also worked with key vendors to monitor developments in novel areas such as cloud computing and big data, commencing strategic cooperation with leading players in cloud computing such as Cisco, Oracle and IBM, etc in a joint effort to plan for cloud computing data centre solutions as well as industry systems solutions for the telecommunications, financial and government sectors, etc.
Supply Chain Services Business (primary focus on the markets of Hi-tech Industries, Branded e-Commerce Platform Operators and Branded Service Providers, providing "one-stop" supply chain consultancy and execution in logistics, business flow, capital flow and information flow)
The Group's Supply Chain Services Business took the initiative to adjust businesses commanding lower gross profit as part of its ongoing efforts to optimise our business mix and improve business distribution. Through persistent monitoring and in-depth analysis, new business development endeavours were made in the logistics segment in relation to industrial sectors, while the proportion of the services business increased in relation to the service station segment. Such efforts drove ongoing growth in the overall profitability of the Supply Chain Services Business. Our Supply Chain Services Business reported turnover of approximately HK$854 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2012. Gross profit margin increased by 145 basis points to 20.72%, as compared to the corresponding period of last financial year. The logistics business reported overall revenue of approximately HK$328 million, sustaining rapid growth with a 57.90% increase year-over-year. Services station business continued to optimise business mix and strengthen station management to enhance profitability through servicing ability. The Group sustained healthy growth in revenue from the services station business and the gross margin of services station business was 624 basis points higher as compared to the corresponding period of last financial year.
Market Outlook
In 2012, the economy embraced a cycle of sluggish growth. Since the beginning of the fourth quarter, there has been increasing volatility and challenges in the sub-segment markets. More adverse conditions are expected overall as there are few signs of recovery in the consumer market, while the Enterprise Market is also facing a slowdown. In terms of general strategy for the final quarter of the current financial year, the Group management will continue to implement the guiding principle of 'prudent progress, streamlined establishment with enhanced efficiency and with a focus on Sm@rt City' proposed at the start of the year, and will also closely monitor market changes, remain flexible and respond resolutely. In terms of business strategy, management will reinforce its existing business foundation through market share management, customer planning and increased efforts to develop new industries and customers for new business growth niches. In terms of the Sm@rt City business, we will continue to implement the trial operation of integrated citizen services platforms and actively investigate operating models for the Sm@rt City, while enhancing our marketing efforts for Sm@rt City solutions. In connection with management and control strategy, the Company will continue to strengthen management of risk management and operating cash flows to assure healthy and stable business growth. Management will endeavour to overcome unfavourable factors for business operation in the fourth quarter, striving to accomplish business targets and to continue delivery of value to shareholders.

My mother-in-law makes this stew almost every Shabbat because it is my sister-in-law's favorite! Whenever I buy quinces, I have to hide them because my children love to eat them raw! This fruit is not really meant to be eaten raw…it is meant for jams and stews. I guess my kids must be "hard-core" Persians!
The quince tree originates from Iran and Caucasus. The Romans used its oil for perfume, while the Greeks enjoyed it cooked.
Leave a Review
This was amazing and I think it would be fine for picky eaters! I cooked this in an enameled cast iron dutch oven. I don't like to brown my meat with onions, so first I seared the beef stew chunks in oil and transferred them to a plate. Then I cooked the onions, and the liquid they gave off deglazed the pot. Lots of flavor there! I added the beef and its accumulated juices with the water and remaining ingredients. After serving, we cut the beef chunks (which were large) into smaller pieces to soak up all the juices. The quince was similar to a pear in flavor, but mild. The simple sweet-and-sour combo of flavors reminded me of tomato based stuffed cabbage sauce. So good!
You can use apples instead of quince. but you will need to substitute tomato paste with1 tbsp. of turmeric. we call it "Apple Stew". I'll post the whole recipe next time I logged in.
Very simple, direct recipe. Not too labor-intensive & somewhat exotic. Is there anything to substitute for quince? Also, would dried lemons work? Lamb was not specified. Would beef work as well?
Maybe the best beef stew I have ever made. But, I went off recipe, used beef shanks instead of stew meat. Cutting the meat from the bones, I then browned the bones first, rendering the fat from marrow and then browning the cut up meat in the marrow instead of in olive oil. The original recipe does not call for browning the meat and I really think this dish would suffer without that step regardless. My version is so delicious that I can't wait to do it again.

I don't know if it's important or not but Current.winddirection in the script isn't formatted the same as the other labels. I know there can be problems on some system with upper and lower case letters so I thought I'd point it out. - spiff - 2011-11-15 16:45 props are case insensitive so no worries there. |

Characters I forgot
Rui and Misty.
But that's because I already have Misty on here as older Misty, who Rui doesn't look like, and the point was no two characters are the same.
New Joy and New Jenny.
'Cause they haven't even officially been named or released yet, don't even have full body artwork. ^^; And I started this over a year ago--it was hard enough adding Black and Lyra in here recently.
Jolteon and Hypno
Aren't in here 'cause they're Pokemon but they're not actually characters--where as Meowth and Pikachu are characters who are notably unique. Meowth can talk, and walk upright. It and Tyson's Meowth are the only two who can walk. Ash's Pikachu rides on Ash's shoulder, like Pika and Sparky to their trainers.
Khoury and Max. I gotta add them too. ^^;
Officer Jenny & Nurse Joy
Only now do I realize I only put their special versions in. XD
Rated 5 / 5 stars
lol kids shows in asia= swears and nudity!!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
ahh yes the good old days
when ashes voice wasent weird sounding
Never changed in the Japanese version--you should really look into it. Ash likes to cuss. =D
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Good Work, Mate
Beautiful work, Zach. This is a truly good piece. The customized background for each separate section fits well with the trainers' aesthetics and personalities. It also clearly shows the animation's preference for recycling! xD
Overall, excellent job. It must have been a real pain to dig up each individual character's reference.
9 out of 10. I noticed a number of anatomical blemishes, most being oddities with arms. Everything else looks fantastic. Keep up the good work.
XD I couldn't draw hands two years ago LMFAO. Shoot me. Z___Z''' LOL thank you very much. <33
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Ow my brain
This is butiful i must say, you have quite a talent there my freind! But i'm not touching this series with a 20 ft poll, not thats it's bad, just the clone count and the connections makes my brain hurt! 10/10 P.S How old is Ash now since he started at ten years old?
He is thirteen in the series now. =D Going to be fourteen. LOL. -Uber nerd.-

What to Watch For: Pens vs. Bruins
by Michelle Crechiolo / Pittsburgh PenguinsWHEN: April 3, 2012 - 7:30 pm | WHERE: TD Garden
WATCH: ROOT SPORTS | LISTEN: Penguins Radio 24/7, 105.9 FM
The Bruins have rediscovered their game after experiencing a midseason slump, winning five of their last six and going 7-1-1 in their last nine contests. And with their 2-1 win over the New York Rangers on Sunday, the defending Stanley Cup champions clinched both the Northeast Division and second place in the Eastern Conference.
Boston's offense ranks third in the NHL behind Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, and it spreads its scoring spread throughout their entire lineup. Head coach Claude Julien has been tinkering with his line combinations the last few games in order to find the right mix for the playoffs, but one trio he's opted to leave together the last couple of contests is Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and Tyler Seguin.
Each player had a big night on Saturday against the Islanders, with Marchand and Seguin producing identical three-point nights (1G-2A) and Bergeron adding a goal and an assist. Then on Sunday against the Rangers, Bergeron scored the game-winning goal while his linemates recorded assists in the game. Overall, Marchand has two goals and three assists and Seguin has a goal and four assists in their last five games.
Julien has left the duo of Milan Lucic and David Krejci together, choosing to rotate the right wing of that line. He tried Seguin for a short while before going with Rich Peverley and now Jordan Caron. Krejci is hot again, recording three goals and six points in his last four games and 18 points in his last 17. Lucic has just one goal in his last 12 contests, but the big, bruising winger has gotten three assists in his last three games.
Despite their recent lull, the Bruins are still one of the league's strongest teams on both ends of the ice, as evidenced by their NHL-leading plus-66 goal differential. Their defensive efforts are led by towering defenseman Zdeno Chara, who was named the NHL's Second Star of the week thanks in part to the five-game point streak (1G-7A) he brings into Tuesday's game.
Tim Thomas has been shouldering the workload between the pipes heading into the playoffs as talented goalie partner Tuukka Rask rehabs from an abdominal/groin injury. But tonight the Pens will be facing Marty Turco in goal.
Bergeron scored the game-winner in a 2-1 win over the New York Rangers on Sunday, his second goal in as many games after being held scoreless in his previous 17 contests. But while Bergeron, who ranks second in team scoring with 61 points, seems to be heating up at just the right time, his value to this club stretches way beyond offense. Bergeron is a faceoff whiz, with his 59.5-percent success rate ranking third in the league. He won an eye-popping 17 of 19 faceoffs (89.5 percent) on Sunday at Madison Square Garden, and hasn't dipped below 63 percent in any of his last five games. He's also proficient on both the power play and penalty kill, and his plus-36 rating leads the NHL. Bergeron's name might not be plastered all over the scoresheet come Tuesday, but he'll make his presence felt in other ways.
Staal continues to produce offense at a steady clip, averaging a point per game with 25 points (10G-15A) in 25 games since returning from injury on Feb. 11. But while Staal has matured into an offensive force this year, he remains one of the Penguins' best shutdown forwards – and they'll need him to do his part on both ends of the ice, especially defensively, to contain the dangerous Bruins. Staal has been good off the draw recently, winning 55 percent or more of his faceoffs in four of his last six games, and that success rate will need to continue against the NHL's best team in that area. Head coach Dan Bylsma alluded to the intricacies of the matchups between these teams after practice Monday, wondering aloud who the Bruins would try to pair up against. While Boston's game plan is uncertain, Staal will certainly be going up against the Bruins' best.
Prior to Pittsburgh's 5-2 victory against Boston on March 11 at CONSOL Energy Center, the visiting team had won seven straight games in the series (Penguins went 4-0 in Boston; the Bruins were 3-0 in Pittsburgh). The Bruins' last home win over Pittsburgh was a 3-0 victory on Nov. 10, 2009.
With a win Tuesday, the Penguins will equal their longest consecutive winning streak in Boston. The Penguins previously won five straight games in Boston from Mar. 27, 1993-Mar. 4, 1995.
Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury enters Tuesday's game with a 5-1-1 record, 1.94 goals-against average and a .939 save percentage in eight career appearances at TD Garden. That includes a current four-game winning streak, during which he has allowed just a total of five goals in 242 minutes (1.24 GAA) and has stopped 118-of-123 shots (.959 SVP).
Evgeni Malkin enters Tuesday's game riding a five-game point streak (3G-6A) and with at least one point in 11 of his last 12 contests, during which he has collected 10 goals and 23 points for an average of 1.92 points per game. Malkin has had two-plus points in eight of the 12 games. Last Friday against Buffalo, Malkin scored his career-best 48th goal of the season – one more than his previous high of 47, which he established in 2007-08.
Pascal Dupuis collected a pair of assists against Philadelphia to stretch his NHL-season-high point streak to 14 games. Over the last two seasons, only teammate Sidney Crosby (25 games) has posted a longer scoring streak among NHL players. Going back three years, Dupuis' point streak is the NHL's sixth-longest. With a point tonight, Dupuis will tie teammate Evgeni Malkin (15 games; Jan. 16- Mar. 4, 2010) for the fifth-longest streak on that list.
Dupuis has notched 19 points (9G-10A) during his streak. Dupuis is in the midst of a career year this season, establishing career highs in goals (24), assists (32), points (56), and game-winning goals (8).
A win Tuesday by the Penguins would give them 49 wins this season – tied for the second-highest single-season total in franchise history (2010-11; 1995-96).

F Gregory Campbell, lower body (1)

Union to present outdoor resurrection pageant
"Last 10" start timesEach showing runs one and half hours and begins in Heartland Hall of the College View Seventh-day Adventist Church at the following times (no tickets or registration required): April 23, 2011
What would it have been like to witness and experience Nicodemus' or Pilate's last 10 minutes with Christ? What would our final moments with Him have been like if we could have personally interacted with Him before His death?
On April 23, "The Last 10," a passion play based on the gospel of John, will depict seven scenes of Christ's final days, from His triumphant entry into Jerusalem to His resurrection.
Each 10-minute scene will move viewers to a different location across Union College's campus. The first showing starts at 9:30 a.m. in the Heartland Hall at College View Seventh-day Adventist Church. There are three groups of main characters, allowing the hour-and-a-half long play to start every half hour, with the final showing at 12:30 p.m.
Written and produced by students, "The Last 10" involves more than 70 students, employees and community members. "Christ's entire life focus was on other people, even in his final moments," said AJ Oetman, a senior English education major and the pageant producer. "This play asks what our focus will be in this lifetime."
Admission is free and visitors may choose from seven different show times (see sidebar). Dress comfortably and aim to arrive 20 minutes prior to start time at Heartland Hall. All but one scene location is wheelchair accessible. Arrangements will be made for people who have difficulty walking.
College View Seventh-day Adventist Church is
located at 4801 Prescott Ave.
Heartland Hall is located on the church's first floor, near
the main entrance lobby.

Coleus Kingswood Torch
The Coleus Kingswood Torch, 'Coleus hybrid', has flaming magenta foliage that is overlaid with orange and burgundy. These new, bigger, sun loving varieties have revolutionized contanier gardening.
The brilliant colors explode in sunny locations. Coleus plants are durable and easy to grow. The coleus plants are a tender perennials. Frost will cause them to die immediately. Coleus plants are so colorful that many people keep them and use them as a house plant.
These plants will do best in temperatures above 55 degrees. Flower buds should be pinched off as soon as they develop. If a coleus plant is allowed to seed, it has completed its life cycle and will die. Coleus must have good soil drainage.
Poorly drained soils and excessive watering will damage coleus. Plants suffering from "wet feet" will be stunted, leaves will turn a muddy brown, and leaf margins will be scorched. The colors may vary from the picture.
For zones 10-11, this plant can also be a perennial.

It's cold outside!! It was a lovely 13 (Fahrenheit) degrees outside yesterday! Not exactly weather where you want to be outside. Bryan and I decided to stay inside all day. It was a great day to stay inside and just be. Bryan worked on some collages for cards and I worked on my holiday cards. We also watched Eternal Sunshine Of the Spotless Mind for the fifth time. We were going to watch 21 Grams, there was a preview for Eternal Sunshine and Bryan said, "Let's watch that instead." I think we both were in more of an Eternal Sunshine mood than a 21 Grams mood. We needed a good laugh. :D
Saturday, we had another leisurely day. We went Bryan's dad's house to see his sister Alison, her husband Curt and their new daughter Paige. I gave Alison the Daydream sweater. I added buttons and a ribbon through the waist on Saturday morning. I have photos to post soon.
Today, at lunch, I managed to get about 6 rows of the hat to match the Daydream sweater worked. I still have about 3 1/2″ (9 cm) to do before the knitting is finished. I was hoping that I would have it finished in time to give it to Alison with the sweater, but I obviously didn't leave myself enough time. It's my priority at the moment.
On the Giraffe blanket, all of the giraffes now have spots! One of them has two legs and now the other three need legs. It took me about 1/2 an hour to sew on one leg, so it's a project that will take a few nights to finish. I'm giving myself a deadline of January 5, since I want to get the baby hat finished soon.
In planning, I have a scarf for my nephew to do. I'm going to use some left over yarn that I have from a class and hopefully, get a scarf to him before it gets any colder. It's going to be in Plymouth's Encore Chunky, so it should go quickly. If I have enough yarn, I'll make him a matching hat.
Stay warm everyone!

Summer is just kicking off, but it won't be long until players, coaches and fans will be gearing up to kick off another football season at the University of West Georgia. And this coming season, the Wolves football program takes a major step forward with the opening of a new on-campus stadium that is generating excitement throughout the UWG athletics community.
The stadium will be the crown jewel of a $34 million, 250-acre athletics complex that will help promote UWG as a destination institution both academically and athletically.
The university, through private fundraising and student fees, has successfully financed the bulk of the project, and is continuing to generate sponsorship opportunities for the athletics complex and its individual components, which include an administrative field house, women's sports field house, softball field, soccer field and two football practice fields.
"We are thrilled at the response we've received in our fundraising efforts for the stadium, and we are excited about how exceptionally well the entire project is progressing," said Daryl Dickey, UWG football coach and acting athletics director. "But as we continue to build a place to call home, we need more help and would greatly appreciate any support that would be available from the community."
Nicole Worthington, UWG's director of development, said the stadium's naming opportunities enable supporters to help extend the university's reach athletically, which in turn allows it to enhance and promote its academic standing.
"This is a great time to honor someone by naming a skybox or other designated area of the athletics complex," she said. "Since it's still in construction, many of the naming opportunities are still available. We are definitely seeing renewed interest and enthusiasm as the opening day gets closer."
Sponsorship opportunities include such plans as the chair-back program, which allows donors to have recognition plates placed on seats in the reserved seating section. At $2,500 per seat, this plan gives donors first access to the named seats with purchase of a season ticket package. The stadium will contain more than 1,000 of these designated seats.
Also available are Recognition Tiles, which are named brick tiles in the main entry corridor of the stadium that are available during construction and after completion of the complex, also at a contribution level of $2,500.
Honor Columns allow donors to have a recognition plate placed on the brick columns near the stadium, with priority placement based on the order and timing of the naming agreement. This arrangement is $25,000, and lets the donor purchase four season tickets and receive a parking pass.
The stadium also offers 12 VIP Suites, of which four are available, that would allow a $250,000 donor to have a recognition plate placed in the suite, and to have first access to lease the suite for an annual fee.
The stadium's construction is proceeding on schedule, and the facility is set to be christened for the Wolves' home opener on Sept. 5 against Lambuth University.

Glenn Haas: Strong reasons to work on preventing falls
How many of us remember "Ring Around the Rosie," with that powerful ending "we all fall down"?
Ah, the childhood rhyme is so true.
Ask Dorothy Lucas, 93, why she's in the fall-prevention class at Atria Senior Living in Irvine and she'll tell you how she fell and broke her hip in July.
Salus Homecare expert Dave Luxenberg takes her through some basic exercises, explaining that there are three primary reasons falls are a worry for people over 60:
•10 percent of these people have lost sensory perception – they can't feel their feet;
30 percent suffer from vestibular neuritis – a balance problem in the inner ear;
•60 percent have vision problems that are not correctible with glasses.
Like Julia Corona, 84, who says she falls and has problems walking and looking around at the same time as she travels Atria's halls.
Involving Atria residents in a fall-prevention exercise program is critical, says Charlotte Peterson, the home's "Engage Life" director.
Falls are the leading cause of injury death for older Americans. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
•One-third of Americans age 65-plus fall each year.
•Every 15 seconds on average, an older adult is treated in an emergency room for a fall; every 29 minuets, an older adult dies after a fall.
•Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the most common cause of nonfatal, trauma-related hospital admissions among older adults.
•Falls result in more than 2.3 million injuries treated in emergency departments annually, including more than 650,000 hospitalizations and more than 20,000 deaths.
•The financial toll for older adult falls is expected to increase as the boomer population ages, and might reach $54.9 billion by 2020.
Besides, falling hurts.
I know that first-hand.
Christmas morning I rushed into the kitchen to get the dog's breakfast and ended up falling so badly I broke my left arm. Worse, I had to stay on that floor for hours waiting for a friend (we celebrated as a family Chistmas Eve).
And "worser" (as my granddaughter used to say), I required three hours of surgery to set my badly broken bones.
"Falls are the number one reason for all hospital admissions for people 65-plus," says Emily Nabors, from the USC fall-prevention program.
While balance is a significant issue, Nabors says, diseases affecting balance, such as Parkinson's, show up on patient charts less often than chronic conditions requiring significant medications, such as diabetes and arthritis.
"Put weakness in the lower body together with hazards in the home, such as inadequate lighting and throw rugs, and risks really increase.
"And once you've fallen, the risk of falling again also increases, whether injured or not. It all seems to stem from a fear of falling. And that fear can lead to further cutback in activities and increased lower body weakness."
There are sporadic programs at senior centers and other Orange County agencies designed to increase fall-prevention awareness. A few places, such as Atria, offer specific exercise programs. And the Center for Successful Aging at Cal State Fullerton also offers classes.
"Interested adults should check their communities, local home health agencies – just all sorts of potential resources," Nabors says.
As we all live longer, we all play "Ring Around the Rosie," whether we want to or not.

Talk:Eponymous (album)
WikiProject Alternative music | |||||||||||||||||
WikiProject Albums | (Rated Start-class) | ||||||||||||||||
Cant Get There From Here[edit]
This song is spelled without the apostrophe on the original album and single, as well as the back of this album. The only time it is spelled with the apostrophe is in the liner notes for this album. I have changed it to not include the apostrophe since 4/5 sources exclude the apostrophe. Bsd987 18:51, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
Links to "eponymous"[edit]
I have eliminated all direct links from regular Wikipedia articles to this page. Here is why.
There is a problem having a single word as the title of an article that is not about that word. Lots of articles link to "Eponymous". Some use it as the word; others mean the R.E.M. album that this article covers. I've set myself the task of making sure these links go to the right place. However, it can be tricky to tell the difference between the two, because they are nearly all band/musician/album pages. Those that say, "the band's eponymous album" really want to link to eponym. Those that are about this album want to link here.
In order to make these links easy to distinguish, I made all article links to the album go to Eponymous (album), which is a redirect here. Thus, on the What links here page, there should be no regular articles listed as linking here directly. (We can ignore special pages: user, talk, the Village Pump, etc.)
So, if you see a regular article listed on the What links here page but not in the indented list under "Eponymous (album) (redirect page)", look at its usage of "eponymous" that is linked here. Those referring to the R.E.M. album should be edited to read something like
[[Eponymous (album)|Eponymous]]
while those that are using the word "eponymous" should be edited to read something like
By the way, I think calling this page "Eponymous" is a bad idea. I'd make "Eponymous" a disambig and have the album article on "Eponymous (album). However, the matter seems to have been Decided (see User talk:Gamaliel/Archive 5#Eponymous), and, in any case, it isn't that important.
Regardless, whenever there are multiple meanings for a term, but there is some reason not to make the "main" page a disambig, I think the no-direct-link technique I've outlined above is a reasonable way to make link management easy.

- It's sort of ironic, because I'd guess the fact that every band has an "eponymous album" is from where the title of this album came. Maybe Wikipedia should start using the more common term "self-titled". -Unknownwarrior33 23:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Greatest hits vs. Compilation (general actually)[edit]
This is both a greatest hits (such as they had at the time) and a comp (outtakes, etc.). So what does one call it? Fantailfan 12:10, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Significance of title[edit]
Should be mentioned. -Emiellaiendiay 23:20, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. CharacteristicsHeight: 5' 5"Weight: 114 lbsEyes: BlueHair: BlondeBioCassie Sandsmark was created as a supporting character for Wonder Woman by writer/artist John Byrne in 1996, making her debut in Wonder Woman vol. 2 #105. Byrne's initial depiction of Cassie was that of a tow-headed tomboyish girl who could almost be mistaken for a boy. It was not until much later, when Cassie had grown and come to terms with being a super-powered daughter of Zeus, that other artists began to depict her as an attractive young woman.Cassie is a demigod and the daughter of Zeus, Her father blessed her with powers much like that of Wonder Woman's after she spoke with him and wished to become a superhero. Later Cassie learns how to tap into her own powers as a demigod and gain her own powers and abilities. Wonder Girl has Super strength, Super speed, Flight, Super durable and all the basic powers like Wonder Woman. Cassie true strength and power is not yet on Wonder Woman's Level. Cassie also has a lasso that can manipulate electricity and she also has bracelets much like that of Wonder Woman's.Cassandra is the third character to be called Wonder Girl; the second being Donna Troy, following the earlier stories of a young Wonder Woman using the name Wonder Girl. Cassandra is the daughter of Dr. Helena Sandsmark, (a noted archaeologist with whom Wonder Woman was working with) and the Greek god Zeus. During a fight with a Doomsday clone and another battle with Decay, she created a costume and used magical accoutrements (the sandals of Hermes and the gauntlet of Atlas) to help Wonder Woman, much to her mother's horror. From that day on Cassie became Wonder Girl.Cassie heavily idolized Donna Troy, the original Wonder Girl, and to that effect wore a black wig over her natural blonde hair (it also helped to conceal her identity). Donna gave Cassie the second costume she wore as Wonder Girl, but Cassie was afraid to wear it lest it were ruined. She has been trained by Artemis. As Wonder Girl, Cassie joined Young Justice due to her crush on Superboy. She became close friends with Arrowette, Secret, and Empress.Cassie later joined some former members of Young Justice in the newest incarnation of the Teen Titans. Cassie at one point in time became the leader of the new Teen Titans.Wonder FamilyQueen Hippolyta, ruler of Themyscira, Queen of the Amazons and Mother of Wonder Woman.Princess Diana, Wonder Woman and the daughter of Queen Hippolyta.Artemis, of Bana-Mighdall, Bana warrior, Artemis is the Best Amazon warrior next to that of Wonder Woman with out the divine gifts granted by the Gods of Olympus.Donna Troy, the first Wonder Girl and member of the Titans of Myth, Queen Hippolyta's adopted daughter, Wonder Woman's adopted little sister.Steve Trevor, love interest to Wonder Woman, first man on Themyscira and honorary Amazon.Powers and AbilitiesCassie learns how to tap into her own powers as a demi-god and gain her own powers and abilities, like her brother Hercules, having tapped into her own demi-goddess powers, Cassie is an Olympian powerhouse and her lasso has apparently also changed, enabling her to fry anythings with a magic lightning attack with a simple thought. Cassie also had Amazon training, and she was trained by the best of the best of the Amazons like Wonder Woman and Artemis.Superhuman Strength: Cassie is much stronger after she taps into her own powers from being the daughter of Olympian God Zeus Cassie powers grew to now being able to lift in excess of 100 tons.Superhuman Speed: Cassie can move at supersonic speeds. She can move fast enough to not register in the normal peripheral range of humans and seemingly vanish and disappear at will.Flight: Cassie can also mystically fly through the atmosphere through sure act of will, enabling her to soar through the atmosphere at sub-orbital levels and travel across the planet.Super Durable: Cassie possesses a high resistance to damage and magical attacks.Superhuman Reflexes: Cassie is fast enough, her mind processes information at least on a subliminal level that she is aware of her surroundings. She is fast enough to deflect and catch bullets.Superhuman Stamina: Cassie can last a great deal of time in any fight.Enhanced Healing: Cassie's body heals at a superhuman level.Superhuman Agility: Cassie's agility is Superhuman.Enhanced Senses: All five are superhuman level.Martial Combat: Cassie can fight armed and unarmed and has had Amazon training.Divine Birthright: Cassie being the daughter of Olympian God Zeus, Cassie can tap into her own powers as a demi-god (like her brother Hercules). Her real powers increased to an even greater level of strength and abilities than ever before. Cassie is still a young girl and as she grows so may her powers and abilities and she may one day be even greater then Wonder Woman herself or join her father as an Olympian Goddess.Weapons Wonder Girl usesLasso of Lightning: Despite appearing similar to Wonder Woman's lasso, Cassie's lasso expels Zeus's lightning when used in anger.Bracelets: These are a pair of steel cuffs that are indestructible because they were created from Amazon magic, Cassie's Bracelets work like Diana's.Amazonian Battle Armour: When faced with a larger threat Cassie will wear her Amazonian battle armour for added protection as well as use martial weapons such as swords.WeaknessesMaternal De-powerment: Discouraged by previously shown arrogance in his children (Ares and Heracles), Zeus also blessed Cassie's mother with the ability to take away her powers for a short time via a simple touch. Cassie is somewhat vulnerable to piercing weapons, such as projectiles.

Charles Dickens would love "Coram Boy," and not merely because he could have written it. Capping a varied year for the National Theater with as unabashedly moving and theatrical a production as the Olivier auditorium has seen in an age, Helen Edmundson's adaptation of the Jamila Gavin children's novel is a godsend for discerning adults. On occasion gross (and always briskly paced) enough to keep the kids happy, play wraps its abundantly humane message in a hurtling evening of total theater that moves from infanticide and the slave trade to outright exultation and joy.
It doesn't hurt to have Handel on hand as your show's resident composer — literally so in the form of actor Nicholas Tizzard, who appears in the second act as the German-born music maker whose career was largely centered in England. With an onstage choir to sing the "Hallelujah Chorus" just in time for the curtain call, "Coram Boy" uses the music from Handel's "Messiah" as the thematic leitmotif for a story of children abandoned and/or lost, and of hopes and ambitions triumphantly realized. Indeed, helmer and co-designer (with Ti Green) Melly Still's exuberant National debut may well be studied by psychologists in years to come. It takes a rare kind of theater to bring a staid British audience first to tears and then to its feet, but "Coram Boy" deftly does both. What's more, whereas the Christmas entry over the last two years at the same address, "His Dark Materials," tended to leave Philip Pullman uninitiates out in an epically lengthy cold, Edmundson's adaptation works whether or not you know the source book. Action begins the century before Dickens, in London circa 1742 that's rife with the novelist's comparable mixture of vice and virtue. Two gifted boys, Thomas (Abby Ford) and Alexander (Anna Madeley), hear music in their heads, but that doesn't stop teen Alex's posh termagant of a father, Sir William Ashbrook (William Scott-Masson), from firmly stomping on his son's artistic inclinations. The action in and around the Ashbrooks' Gloucestershire estate finds a grim London contrast in the evil doings of the so-called "Coram man," Otis Gardiner (Paul Ritter), a child-murderer who tricks anxious woman into surrendering illegitimate babies. While Alex boasts his region's "best treble," Gardiner works double-time to debase the charitable intentions of Thomas Coram, who set up a London hospital for foundling children and had goodness "pouring from him" no less fully than Gardiner oozes sleaze. The narratives ingeniously intersect, with attention spread among haves and have-nots alike. Lady Ashbrook (Rebecca Johnson, in a supremely gracious perf) talks of founding an orphanage on the Ashbrook grounds, leaving the Coram boy himself, Gardiner's sweet if simple son Meshak (Jack Tarlton), struggling to articulate the depraved activities he has witnessed. In a way that feels absolutely right, Still's direction doesn't shrink from the realities of the malignity perpetrated by Gardiner; adults will squirm while their children shriek inwardly (or perhaps outwardly) in delighted disgust. "Coram Boy" began as a project developed by NT associate director Tom Morris, who was brought into the building to help widen the range of repertory. (And to experiment with forms of theater that aren't necessarily text-driven.) The result is a production that works on a narrative level while employing the sorts of physical theater and movement techniques that engage the body as well as the mind. By the second act, we've leapt forward to 1750, our two prepubescent aesthetes are now proper young men and the now-prosperous Gardiner has moved on to a particularly sickly form of sex trafficking. There's a chilling scene in which he inculcates one of his young black charges, Toby (Akiya Henry), in the necessary blandishments expected from his hapless youngsters. Will villainy prevail? That remains to be discovered as the play builds to the climatic Coram Hospital premiere of "The Messiah" on Christmas Eve, Handel's music itself offering contrapuntal lamentation and rejoicing as appropriate. A true ensemble in London's enduring subsidized-theater spirit, the "Coram Boy"' collective never strikes a false or cliche note, regardless characters' positions on the social spectrum. Even so, Anna Madeley (last seen alongside Simon Russell Beale's "The Philanthropist") brings the purest of both voice and emotion to a dual portrait of underage boys. (After playing 15-year-old Alex in the first act, she's the not quite 8-year-old Aaron in the second.) Her unadorned truthfulness sets the standard for a matching seasonal entertainment that turns out to be a play, and production, for any season.Coram Boy

On August 6, 2014, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs ("OFCCP") released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking requiring federal contractors and subcontractors with 100 or more employees to submit an annual equal pay report. This compensation data tool was published in response to President Obama's April 8, 2014 Presidential Memorandum calling for proposed regulations to be published within 120 days.
The equal pay report will have a significant impact on federal contractors. According to OFCCP, the equal pay report will "enable OFCCP to direct its enforcement resources toward federal contractors whose summary data suggests potential pay violations, while reducing the likelihood of reviewing companies that are less likely to be out of compliance." The proposed rule was officially published in the Federal Register on August 8, 2014. There is a 90-day public comment period with comments due by November 6, 2014.
Who Must File
The proposed rule applies to prime contractors and first tier subcontractors (and construction subcontractors of any tier) who are required to file EEO-1 Reports, have more than 100 employees, and have a federal contract, subcontract, or purchase order amounting to $50,000 or more lasting for at least 30 days (including modifications).
OFCCP is also considering covering postsecondary academic institutions that file the IPEDS report with the Department of Education.
Requirements of Equal Pay Report
The NPRM contemplates requiring covered federal contractors to submit an equal pay report that includes the following information:
No individual employee pay data will be required.
Reporting Method
OFCCP plans to design a web-based portal for covered contractors to report and maintain compensation information. OFCCP indicates that the webportal would be protected by applicable government IT security standards where contractors key in their data electronically or upload their forms into the system using the standard formats provided by OFCCP.
Data May be Basis for Audit Not Sanctions
Data from the proposed equal pay report would not in itself result in any sanction or adverse action against the contractor for compensation discrimination, according to OFCCP. However, OFCCP will use the information to prioritize contractors for compliance evaluations. If OFCCP selects a contractor for a compliance evaluation, that review would cover compensation data beyond what is in the contractor's equal pay report and would involve a more specific and detailed data request that are typical in an OFCCP compliance evaluation.
Aggregate Data
OFCCP is also considering publishing aggregate information based on pay data collected from the equal pay report, but the data will not be specific to any particular contractor. The data could include ranges or averages by industry, labor market, or other groupings.
Effective Date/Comments
OFCCP is proposing an annual reporting window of January 1 to March 31. The data in this report would be based on W-2 earnings for the prior calendar year (Jan. 1- Dec 31) for all employees included in the contractor's EEO-1 report for that year, which will generally align with the time period covered under a contractor's W-2 filings.
The practice of OFCCP using the equal pay report to target its enforcement efforts could potentially eliminate OFCCP's current random audit selection process and replace it with a targeted selection process. Despite the potential constitutional concerns, contractors should strongly consider conducting proactive pay equity analyses now, so that any areas of concern can be addressed before data is reported to OFCCP. This should include a total compensation analysis since contractors will need to report total compensation (i.e., all wages contained in the Form W-2) rather than just base salary.
Contractors should also be wary of potential confidentiality issues. Although OFCCP attempted to allay contractors' confidentiality fears, the data, much like EEO-1 reports, could be turned over to private plaintiff's attorneys for use in civil litigation. OFCCP believes that the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") would exempt the disclosure of contractor data if it can be shown that (1) the contractor is still in business (2) the data is confidential and sensitive, and (3) the release of data would subject the contractor to commercial harm. For now, it is unclear whether these exemptions would actually shield contractors' pay data in all cases.

hello, i loved your perfect server instalation with ISPConfig 3 Can you do something like that for VHCS ? i am abel to pay donation to have this done verry fast ! Thank you !
Falko is one of the authors of ispconfig and not a vhcs developer So maybe you should ask the vhcs guys if they do not provide good installation instructions for their software. By the way, the ispconfig 3 perfect server is so easy because all the configuration steps are builtin the ispconfig installer so that it is not nescessary to configure any services manually anymore.
Yes, but i find it hard to use ... And is not that user friendly, i think it misses some features ... And the template also , VHCS is more flashy ... I can't ask the VHCS Guys, i thought that here everibody is posting , not only the developers ... I offered to donate to this project, the howtoforge project for a instalation guide ...
As far as I know VHCS is dead (correct me if I'm wrong). The latest version is from 2004. It has a fork named ISPCP Omega which is also cool, stable and supported.


text: By PSW Staff • April 17, 2014 Turbosound Flashline arrays flown in support of Young Voices Britannia Row Productions again chose Turbosound Flashline line arrays earlier this year to deliver main sound reinforcement for the annual tour of Young Voices, a series of concerts featuring a full band and a choir of several thousand primary school pupils performing at arenas throughout the UK. Young Voices is the largest school choir experience in the world. From all across the UK and Ireland, over 100,000 children every year, along with stars like Alexandra Burke, Lemar, Des'ree, Keith Semple and Beverley Knight, with the dedicated support of over 10,000 teachers from 2,500 schools, perform a diverse range of music for every kind of taste at concert venues from Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield and Dublin to London's O2 Arena. According to Britannia Row managing director Bryan Grant, the system included 48 Flashline TFS-900H flown line array elements, configured in two main hangs each of 15 boxes, plus three Flex Array down fills and two side hangs of nine TFS-900H (also with three Flex Array down fills). Sub-bass was provided in the shape of 12 Flashline TFS-900L subwoofers ground stacked at the front of the stage and eight powered TQ-440SP 3-ways were deployed as front fills. The Flashline TFS-900H incorporates 11 neodymium drive units, configured across four discrete frequency bands, that are capable of outputting up to 147.5 dB peak SPL with low harmonic distortion. Due to the turnkey approach – trucking and flying four-up on a wheeled dolly, and packaged with Lab.gruppen amplification – the system is intuitive and repeatable to deploy. Colin Pink, front of house engineer for Young Voices, states: "These events are an interesting challenge in that there is not a lot of time to set up and rehearse the choir each day, and I'm pleased to say that Flashline is able to give us a very predictable result every time".

SAN DIEGO — Matt Damon found himself covered in "fecal matter" while filming Elysium's action scenes at the world's second-largest garbage dump in Mexico City, but he's not complaining. The actor simply wanted to satisfy the in-your-face realism demanded by sci-fi auteur Neill Blomkamp.
"I knew what I was signing up for," Damon told the audience Friday in Hall H at Comic-Con International, speaking of his role as a renegade badass in Blomkamp's futuristic feature Elysium.
As in his Oscar-nominated 2009 feature debut District 9, Blomkamp envisioned Elysium as a jolting convergence of techno-fantasy with life on Earth as we know it.
This time, instead of using anti-extraterrestrial sentiment as a metaphor for racism, Blomkamp is throwing a subversive left hook at the one-percenters. After unspooling seven previously unseen minutes of harrowing Elysium footage Friday in which Damon dons a mecha suit to blast his way through a fascist hellscape while trying to dodge robots, spaceships and doomsday armaments, Blomkamp said the movie sprang from "the idea of a space station that had taken the wealth of Earth and left this impoverished planet behind. The theme is about wealth discrepancy between rich and poor, but in a science fiction setting. That subtext is important and pretty apparent, but layered on top of that is a lot of explosions."
Set in 2159, Elysium shows two classes of people that unhappily co-exist: Wealthy ones live a life of luxury on the spotless space station called Elysium. Everybody else is stuck on a resource-depleted Earth. Damon plays tough guy Max who only has five days left to live — unless he can trade his lethal talents for a chance to fight his way to the deluxe Elysium to save his life. District 9 star Sharlto Copley plays a shaggy villain while Jodie Foster portrays control freak Secretary Delacourt, charged with keeping Elysium free of earthling riff-raff.
Blomkamp snagged Damon for Elysium after showing him a trove of detailed background material.
"There was this graphic novel that Neill had done on his computer with this entire world he had built," Damon said. "I'd never seen anything like it. Then there was a corresponding book of weaponry, and a whole other book of vehicles. Normally, you make an educated guess about if a movie is going to work, but for Elysium I had so much information, I decided there's no way I'm going to let this one get away."
As seen in the preview footage, Earth is not a pretty place four decades hence. But the post-apocalyptic visuals are entirely contemporary and required no set dressing or CGI effects, because Blomkamp filmed in and around the slums of Mexico City.
"The morning we drove into a garbage dump for the first day of photography, the sewage smell started coming up and I thought, 'I don't know if you can do this,'" Blomkamp recalled. "But you just have to wear your respirator and do it."
Damon described the challenge of performing a chase scene while covered in toxic filth. "The helicopter would kick up all this dust, which they told us was mostly fecal matter," he said. "After the helicopter came through, at the end of the scene we were black with dust. Sharlto and I are looking at each other going, 'This is fecal matter.' Then Neill came up and said, 'I promise you, the photography looks great.'"
Given that her character operated at a safe remove from the garbage dump sequences, Foster said she appreciated the way Blomkamp's story operated on multiple levels. "It's interesting to see somebody like Neill who can marry intellectual, big ideas with beautiful, primal, gut-wrenching explosions and death and all that other good stuff," she said.

The country is already gearing up for the 2008 presidential election. So – is it time for you to become a leader, too? Now, running for Commander in Chief might not be on your agenda, but maybe you'd like to score a big promotion at work, or run for president of the PTA? Well, you can use the same strategic moves that politicians use to get what YOU want. Here's how, courtesy of the Bottom Line Personal.
- Don't try to do what everybody else does. Political strategist Dick Morris managed Bill Clinton's successful bid for re-election in 1996. And he says do what NOBODY else does, and persuade your boss or organization that it's important. If you try to be the top salesperson in your company, you'll face a lot of competition. Your path is filled with wannabes who'll fight you for every promotion. But if you're the only person who can do something that nobody else is doing – say, creating an electronic newsletter about your organization – the path ahead will be pretty clear. Bottom line: Be the sole supplier of a service - then sell it.
- Find an issue. Morris says issues are the oars you use to row your boat ahead, in any water. So find one that differentiates you from your rivals, and appeals to the majority of the group. For example, along with that newsletter you're developing, position yourself as the person who knows how to make the Internet work for your company, or your local PTA.
- Realize that the way up is diagonal. You often can't move up the ladder step-by-step. There are usually too many people on the rungs above you in your company, student group, church or so on, and you might face a backlash for trying to jump ahead, out of turn. Morris says he grew up in New York City politics, but politicians there kept seeing him as the kid who ran around campaigning, not a strategist. He needed to go to Arkansas and work for Clinton to win the credentials he could take back to New York to get politicians there to take him seriously. So, don't be afraid to move diagonally, from one ladder to the next. Every time you join a new company, department or organization, people see you at a new level. and you get another chance to reinvent yourself.

REDLANDS — Redlands East Valley football player Kylie Fitts had every intention of waiting a bit longer before deciding where he would play college football.

That was all it took as Fitts, a defensive lineman who has been sifting through NCAA Division 1 scholarship offers for the past several months, accepted an offer from USC on the Trojans' final day of spring practices.
Rialto's Denae Williams chooses USF
As part of the basketball regular signing period that began this week, Rialto High standout center Denae "Mary" Williams has signed a letter of intent to play basketball for University of San Francisco.
"Mary gives us an outstanding presence in the paint," USF coach Jennifer Azzi said on the school's web site. "She averaged 18 rebounds per game! Her strength and rebounding ability will make her an incredible force in the West Coast Conference. I am absolutely thrilled that she has chosen USF."
I spoke with Rialto coach Michael Anderson on Friday night and he said that there were several schools recruiting her hard in the final weeks.
"I have a lot of schools who are mad at me because they thought they had her," Anderson said. "UNLV thought they had her, Colorado State thought they had her …"
Williams averaged 23.6 points and 18.3 rebounds for the Knights.
San Bernardino County splits all-star basketball games
All-star basketball games are certainly fun, but in a different way than regular season games.
If you're looking for polished team offense and defense, look elsewhere.
If you're looking for fast-paced action with slam dunks (for the boys) and a great collection of individual talent, then this is for you. And that's what you got to see on Friday night at Cajon High School in the Inland Empire All-Star Basketball Games.
