CHARLOTTE � The Carolina Panthers have shown just how the NFL is such an ever-changing league in the last month.
Just a month ago � when the team was 1-3 � reports indicated management was looking at potential replacement candidates for head coach Ron Rivera.
Four straight wins later, not only has that talk ended, but the Panthers are a mere one game out of first place in the NFC South Division.
�When you�re winning, good things happen for you,� Carolina veteran offensive tackle Jordan Gross said after Sunday�s 34-10 win against Atlanta.
Gross was talking about the recovery Brandon LaFell made of his own fumble after a 30-yard reception during a fourth-quarter scoring drive that pushed Carolina�s precarious 17-10 lead to a more comfortable 24-10 advantage.
And the fumble happened in almost the same spot on the field as DeAngelo Williams� lost fumble in the frustrating 12-7 season-opening loss to Seattle.
Now, Carolina has the chance to make such a good bounce give it a chance for what previously was unthinkable � a division title.
�It would be a big deal for the organization,� defensive end Greg Hardy said of such a prospect after being told about New Orleans� 26-20 loss at the New York Jets. �But we have to stay focused on what�s next. If we look ahead, we�ll get in trouble. We have to focus on next week and the next game.�
As fate would have it, Carolina doesn�t meet New Orleans for another month but then plays the Saints twice in three weeks.
Until then, the 5-3 Panthers visit San Francisco next week, then host New England, visit Miami and host Tampa Bay until the Dec. 8 game at New Orleans. The Saints (6-2) host Dallas and San Francisco, then visit Atlanta and Seattle before hosting the Panthers.
And the second contest between the teams is 14 days later � Dec. 22 � in Charlotte.
�It�s interesting how the schedule turns out with us playing them two times in three weeks,� Gross said. �We�ve got to hope those games will matter.�
� Effective return
After missing 12 straight games due to an ankle injury, Jonathan Stewart was back in action.
How eager were the Carolina Panthers� fans to see him?
Even when a delayed handoff to him went for minus-2 yards on his first carry of the game early in the second quarter, they cheered loudly at the end of the play.
�It was good to be back with the fellas , especially getting that win in a divisional game,� said Stewart, who finished with a team-high 43 yards rushing (on nine carries) and caught three passes for 22 yards. �It�s just a blessing. I spent a lot of time off � and I�m overdue it feels like.�
� Banged-up offensive line
The only bad news for the Panthers was the injuries suffered by right guards Chris Scott (knee) and Jeff Byers (ankle).
Scott sprained his knee and more medical tests will be run on Monday, while Byers was on crutches and had a walking boot on his injured foot after Sunday�s game.
�We�ll have to check,� Panthers coach Ron Rivera said about potential personnel changes on the line. �It gets a little scary when all that happens.�
On Sunday, the listed tackle backup Nate Chandler ended up playing right guard in place of Scott and Byers.
� Kicking domination
Graham Gano�s extraordinary kicking season continued Sunday as he booted a season-high 55-yard field goal among his two field goals and four extra points. He had five touchbacks out of seven kickoffs.
It means Gano is 12-of-12 on field goals and 24-of-24 on extra points this season in addition to booting 35 touchbacks out of 45 kickoffs.
� Streak-snapper
Atlanta entered Sunday�s game in Charlotte having yielded only three first-quarter points on the season.
But after forcing a three-and-out on Carolina�s first drive, a Luke Kuechly interception of a Matt Ryan pass set up 39-yard scoring drive for the first touchdown the Falcons have allowed in the first quarter this season.
Mike Tolbert did the honors with a 3-yard plunge.
� Panthers inactives
Declared inactive before Sunday�s game for Carolina were wide receivers Tavarres King and Marvin McNutt, cornerbacks Josh Norman and Josh Thomas, tight end Brandon Williams and defensive linemen Sione Fua and Wes Horton.

Jaime Hernandez: The 2010 Native American Dollar displays the same Sacagawea obverse design used on all Sacagawea and Native American Dollars.
The reverse theme depicts "Government" – The Great Tree of Piece." It also features a Hiawatha Belt which honors the creation of the Haudenosunee or the Iroquois Confederacy.
The Iroquois was five tribal nations joined together by a single constitution, in the 1400's in upstate New York. The coins were produced in order to honor these nations which were here long before the states.
The U.S. Mint began selling rolls of the 2010-D Native American coins on January 22, 2010 at noon (ET). Each roll of 25 coins was priced at $35.95 each.

My Party: Amelia
Who doesn't like a ladybug? Becca used them as a theme for her daughter's birthday bash: One of our nicknames for Amelia is "Junebug." It only seemed appropriate that her first birthday party would be a ladybug picnic!
Since we share a one-bedroom apartment, we had to find a location big enough to host Amelia's closest family and friends. We chose a state park nearby that had all of the necessities and would be a great place for kids and adults alike to explore and enjoy. We made and sent out the little ladybug invitations and then we were on our way!
Most of the decorations were red and black - with a little pink thrown in. We decorated plain red tablecloths and balloons with black felt spots and found red impatiens in black containers to function as centerpieces.
The food was typical BBQ-style with all of the fixings. We asked everyone to bring chairs and blankets to make themselves comfortable. Amelia's grandmom ("Nanny") made the cakes - one sheet cake for all of the guests and a mini personal cake for Amelia.
We repurposed baby food jars to hold jellybeans for all of Amelia's friends. Bug catching kits and a nature scavenger hunt were activities for the kids. Everyone was asked to write a note in Amelia's "Birthday Wishes" book before leaving the party. Amelia had a great time (and we think everyone else did too)! Thank you for looking!
Thanks Becca! You can find Becca and Amelia at The Life of Peanut.

Lot # 1618 (of 1743) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Mickey Mantle Limited-Edition LeRoy Neiman Serigraph - Printer's Proof
Starting Bid - $2,000, Sold For - $3,525
Titled Mickey Mantle , issued in 1999, serigraph numbered "PP 3/8" (printer's proof), and flawlessly signed in pencil along the lower margin by LeRoy Neiman (grading "10"). Edition limited to 428 impressions (350 numbered impressions, 70 artist's proofs, and 8 printer's proofs). This is one of Neiman's most popular and celebrated works, and the premier artist serigraph tribute to Mickey Mantle. Neiman was good friends with Mantle and according to Neiman's website, this serigraph "carries additional sentimental memories for LeRoy as Mickey always had a particular liking for the original painting on which the print is based." In 1997, Robert Edward Auctions had the privilege of offering at auction the original painting used to create this serigraph, which at that time sold for $108,000. As collectors are well aware, the Mantle Neiman serigraph is one of the most highly regarded "blue chips" among Neiman's work, and examples very rarely come to the marketplace. The only other examples REA has ever offered sold, respectively, for $4,600 in 2004 (Lot 567) and $4,700 in 2009 (Lot 1319). This is an extremely desirable and iconic Neiman work. The serigraph measures 33 x 33 inches (image area) and is in Near Mint condition. Matted (by means of tape on the reverse) to total dimensions of 40 x 41 inches. Reserve $2,000. Estimate $4,000+. SOLD FOR $3,525

Unshackle Upstate backs lawmaker for low-tax, pro-jobs record
Assemblyman John Ceretto, R-I-Lewiston, has announced that he has won the endorsement of the non-partisan, pro-growth group Unshackle Upstate.
"As your assemblyman, my top priority has been and will continue to be creating an environment that promotes economic growth and grows jobs," Ceretto said. "Since joining the New York State Assembly in 2010, I have worked with Governor Cuomo and lawmakers from both sides to improve New York's business climate and support pro-jobs initiatives such as the Power Proceeds Allocation Act and ReCharge NY.
"I have also worked with Empire State Development's legal team to expand USA Niagara Development Corporation's economic footprint, paving the way for expansion efforts at the Aquarium of Niagara; led the effort to expand the Niagara Falls International Airport; and brought private and public stakeholders together to transform the Lehigh Valley Rail Yard into a regional transportation hub.
"I look forward to building on these accomplishments as well as continuing the fight to reduce the Empire State's high taxes and burdensome regulations in order to make Western New York a more affordable place to own a business and create jobs."
Brian Sampson, executive director of Unshackle Upstate, said the legislative candidates endorsed by his organization will help unlock New York's true economic potential.
"In 2010, people across the state voted for a stronger economy and economic certainty for families and businesses. Working together, we've made great strides toward these goals, but New York state's comeback is far from complete," he said. "The 30 candidates that we've endorsed are committed to improving New York's business climate and easing the burden on taxpayers. These men and women have earned the opportunity to go to Albany and serve their constituents."

Port Arthur City Council Finally Complete
After months of campaigning, the Port Arthur City Council is finally set with Harold Doucet and Derrick Freeman claiming the final two seats in District 4 and Position 7 respectively.
Doucet easily outpaced his opponent, Warren Field, 481-291, while the Position 7 race, easily the most contentious of any council race this campaign season, Freeman knocked off the venerable Willie "Bae" Lewis 1061-1006.
Both men said they were happy and thankful for the voters who elected them to office. They both stated that now it's time to get to work for the city of Port Arthur.
Freeman and Doucet are slated to be sworn in July 6th at the Port Arthur City Hall.

Natalie Cole's debut Spanish-language album, "En Español," is among the nominees for the Latin Grammy awards for album of the year, a prize that also is being sought by perennial contenders Miguel Bose, Carlos Vives, Alejandro Sanz, and Bajofondo, the L.A.-Argentine-Uruguayan collective, among others.
Cole's album of covers of classic Spanish-language tunes became a crossover hit this year. The R&B singer was following the example of her father, Nat King Cole, whose best-selling recordings of Spanish songs half a century ago helped bridge the Spanish-language and English-language recording worlds.
She also was nominated for record of the year for "Bachata Rosa," her duet with Juan Luis Guerra.
LATIN GRAMMYS 2013: The complete list of nominees
Draco Rosa, the Puerto Rican-American singer-songwriter, was a multiple nominee too. His song "Más Y Más," featuring Ricky Martin, was nominated for record of the year, and his album "Vida" received a nod for album of the year and best contemporary pop album.
The nominations were announced this morning at the Avalon in Hollywood.
As often has been the case, the most competitive category appears to be best new artist. Among the nominees are a Band of Bitches, Leslie Cartaya, Clarice Falcâo, Mojito Lite and
Gaby Moreno.

Herbal Medicine: Hawthorn for the Heart
Christopher Hobbs LAc, AHG
The best-known herb
for the heart in western herbalism is Hawthorn, which is a small tree or shrub that grows throughout the northern hemisphere. The fruits, flowers, and leaves are processed into tinctures and other kinds of extracts available in capsules or tablets in the U.S. and other parts of the world.
The comely hawthorn is a dense tree with small, sharp thorns growing to 25 feet. It has small white flowers with rose-like petals and bright red berries containing one or two large seeds. Hawthorns are native to Europe, North America and Asia.
Dioscorides, the most reliable of the ancient authors on plant medicines, called
"Oxuakantha", which was retained by Linnaeus in the name
C. oxyacantha
, an old name for
C. laevigata
. Although many botanical and herbal writers from the15th through the 17th centuries took this plant to be a kind of
, Parkinson (1640) determined that it was likely a
--common ornamental shrubs with small red berries. It is listed as
C. pyracantha
in Gunther's edition of Dioscorides (1933), today referred to the genus
, a genus not particularly lauded for its healing properties. Galen's "Oxyacanthus" is also certainly a
(pear) or
(medlar). The latter three genera are closely allied and until the 17th century were likely to be poorly distinguished from
Gerard (1633), one of the best-known of the Rennaissance herbalists, called hawthorn
, white thorne, or hawthorn tree. The latter two, and the name "May-Bush," are still common in England. In Germany hawthorn is now called
, while in France it is referred to as
l'epine noble
(the noble thorn) because it was supposedly used for Christ's crown of thorns.
In both the East and West, hawthorn has been used for millenia as both a food and a medicine. The current use of hawthorn for heart conditions dates back to the 17th century, according to the French doctor, Leclerc. Green, an Irish doctor, is known to have used it extensively--though secretly--for heart ailments. After his death in 1894, his daughter revealed the famous cure to be a tincture of the ripe berries of
. In Europe, both homeopathic and allopathic doctors used the herb for various heart and cardiovascular ailments from the late 19th through the early 20th centuries--and with great clinical success. Hawthorn had entered American clinical practice by 1896--only to fade from use in the 1930s.
Over the centuries legends about hawthorn have abounded in England and Europe. The poets, too, have sung its praises, as in Chaucer's phrase:
Marke the faire blooming of the Hawthorne tree
Who finely cloathed in a robe of white,
Fills full the wanton eye with May's delight.
Goldsmith, in his "Deserted Village," penned these well-known lines:
The Hawthorn-bush with seats beneath the shade,
For talking age and whispering lovers made.
Assmann, a German homeopathic doctor from the late 1800s, said the following regarding hawthorn's use as a cardiac medicine:
Crataegus is no panacea, but for the handling of chronic illness, it is much more suitable than digitalis
and strophanthus, because it has no unpleasant side-effects and no cumulative effects. Its success can be achieved if the tincture of the fresh ripe fruit in a suitable dose (3X daily 10-20 drops after meals) is prescribed.
Today, hawthorn is an official drug in the Pharmacopoeias of Brazil, China, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Hungary, Russia, and Switzerland. As a measure of its lasting popularity, it is an ingredient of 213 commercial European herbal formulas, which are mostly for the treatment of heart and cardiovascular ailments.
I have a special affection for this herb, because it helped my father strengthen his heart and significantly increase the quality of his circulation. Twenty-six years ago he had a heart attack and has since been taking hawthorn in extract form for over 15 years with excellent results.
The extract of hawthorn can increase blood flow to the heart muscle itself, helping to counteract one of the most common modern causes of death in industrial countries--heart attack due to lack of blood flow to the heart. In pharmacological tests on both animals and humans, hawthorn has been shown to improve the contractility of the heart muscle (which can lead to a stronger pumping action of the heart), increase cardiac performance and output, lower the peripheral vascular resistance (reducing the workload of the heart), steady the heartbeat (antiarrhythmic effect), as well as increasing the heart's tolerance to oxygen deficiency, such as might happen during stress or excitement, or in diseases where the arteries are partially blocked.
In Europe, thousands of doctors prescribe hawthorn to prevent cardiovascular disease or to help alleviate symptoms of mild to moderate problems. It is considered so safe that it is sometimes prescribed concurrently with heart medications such as digitalis. Hawthorn is also considered a mildly calming herb for the nervous system--an appropriate bonus considering that stress and nervousness often accompany cardiovascular problems.
In my own experience, it is the first herb, besides garlic, that should be added to one's daily dietary regimen when there is any suspicion of problems of cardiovascular disease. If one has a family member who has heart or vascular problems, or for people eating a diet that includes moderate to high levels of fat (especially from dairy products or red meat), or who are stressed or using stimulants (such as coffee), hawthorn is an excellent protector.
Initially, hawthorn berries were the only part of the plant used in making extracts but eventually the flowers and leaves were added, as they were shown to have significant concentrations of the active flavonoids as well. The extract can be taken long-term, is very safe, and will not interfere with any medications, according to the official European Community monograph (ESCOP) on hawthorn. The daily dose is 2-4 dropperfuls of the tincture, or 1-2 tablets of the standardized extract, morning and evening.
Table 1. Changes in Cardiovascular Functions with Crataegus Extracts
Parameter Change Possible Significance
Arterial blood decrease may be useful for treating high pressure blood pressure
Heart stroke volume increase increases heart's ability to circulate blood
Contractility of increase may strenghten heart's ability the heart muscle to pump blood (pos. inotropic)
Coronary blood flow increase extra blood to heart may offset insufficient blood flow due to vascular disease, speed recovery from heart damage, and be useful for angina
Rate of heartbeat decrease may be useful for increased (neg. chronotropic) heart rate due to stress, etc.; also, slower heartbeat lessens heart's workload
Peripheral blood flow increase may help reduce high blood pressure
Since the late 19th century, hawthorn has been used successfully for various diseases of the cardiovascular system, inluding angina pectoris, functional heart disease, arhythmia, early manifestations of circulatory insufficiency of advanced age, and as a heart tonic to regulate circulation.
One of hawthorn's primary applications is to support the effect of digitalis and to serve as a substitute where digitalis cannot be tolerated or where side effects need to be avoided (Madaus).
One view of the scope of hawthorn's application is represented by this excerpt from a recent German monograph drafted by Commission E:
reduction in heart function (NYHA stages I or II)
uneasiness and oppressed feeling of the heart
not yet digitalized heart (not taking digoxin)
light forms of bradycardic arrythmia
Hawthorn works slowly, like all herbal tonics. It should be taken for at least 3 months, up to several years or longer, if needed. It is safe to use concurrently with allopathic drugs such as digitoxin and may even allow a person to reduce the dose of this commonly prescribed, but highly toxic medicine.
With long-term use, hawthorn can safely help to strengthen and nourish the heart. Here is a summary of the important clinical effects of hawthorn:
1. It dilates the arteries that supply the heart muscle itself with blood, oxygen, and fuel, providing a better supply of these essential nutrients. This results, with continued use, in a stronger, more efficient heart beat.
2. It acts as a powerful free-radical scavenger, protecting the heart against the harmful effects of lessened oxygen--a common result of vascular disease, such as atherosclerosis.
3. It can help steady the heartbeat, if it is irregular, and does not lead to dependence.
4. It has mild sedative activity, which may be useful where mild heart disease is combined with nervousness, hypochondria, etc., in which case it can be combined with lavender or lemon balm.
In this modern age with its times of stress and anxiety, it is reassuring that nature has provided such a gentle yet effective cardiovascular protector as hawthorn.

Oxford tutor to give drawing class at CLU
By Gazette Staff Writer — Wednesday, February 19th, 2014
Free public events also include sustainability lecture
THOUSAND OAKS, CA - An artist and author from Oxford University will offer a master class in drawing and a lecture on sustainability at California Lutheran University in March.
The CLU Artists and Speakers Series will present a master class in drawing with Sarah Simblet from noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 12, in Kingsmen Park. A lecture on "The New Sylva" will follow at 4 p.m. in the Roth Nelson Room. Both events are free.
The master class in drawing is open to everyone, regardless of expertise.
The afternoon lecture will be based on Simblet's forthcoming book with co-author Gabriel Hemery, "The New Sylva." The book describes the most important tree species that currently populate the landscape and explains what trees really mean to us culturally, environmentally and economically. Simblet captures the delicacy, strength and beauty of trees through the seasons in 200 drawings. The book was inspired by "Sylva," a 1664 comprehensive study of British trees by horticulturist and diarist John Evelyn. It was the world's earliest forestry book and the first book ever published by the Royal Society. Publication of "The New Sylva" will mark the 350th anniversary of Evelyn's work.
Simblet is director of drawing and a tutor in anatomy at Oxford's Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art and has taught CLU students participating in an annual study abroad program at the English university. Her research interests include the relationship between art, science and history. She has published three major reference books, "Anatomy for the Artist," "The Drawing Book" and "Botany for the Artist."
She contributes drawn installations, framed works and, occasionally, documentary films to art shows, festivals and events. Her drawings can be found in national and private collections including the Royal Academy of Art in London and the Ashmolean in Oxford. She contributes regularly to British, American and international television and radio programs about science and art and consults on national exhibitions. She is a freelance lecturer at The National Gallery in London. She holds a doctorate in drawing from Bristol University.
Kingsmen Park is located near Memorial Parkway on the Thousand Oaks campus. The Roth Nelson Room is located at 3391 Mountclef Boulevard. Visitor parking is located at the corner of Mountclef Boulevard and Olsen Road.
CLU's Artists and Speakers Committee is sponsoring the events. For more information, contact Michael Brint at firstname.lastname@example.com or 818-707-9686.

Joystiq writes: "GameStop patrons are more interested in Wii U than they initially were of the Wii, the retailer has revealed. Over 1.2 million individuals have pre-ordered Wii U games at GameStop, in addition to the 500,000 Wii U consoles claimed since opening up pre-orders back in September."
"That figure comes out to 2.4 games per console reserved, which GameStop has told Gamasutra is roughly twice the attach rate GameStop saw prior to the Wii launch. Top pre-orders include ZombiU, Assassin's Creed 3, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Scribblenauts Unlimited and New Super Mario Bros. U."
Good lord. And first AND third party getting love. :)
This is very good news for Nintendo
Many more than anyone including myself had probably expected. At this rate things are looking great for the future of third party offerings and exclusives in the future for the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system. Hopefully keeping many developers on board. As a consumer and fan, I could not ask for greater news. Looking forward to more positive results.
Rated E For Everyone
On Sunday, the Wii U will be mine. I can't wait. I will be getting it along with ZombiU.
Black Ops 2 on it for me so I can continu to shoot with my dear wiimote. Wanted the new Mario but no online coop...meeh

She has taught herself how to navigate the web and I receive emails from her all the time. The problem is she regularly sends/forwards me messages that have a christian message/joke/video. This wonderful lady is very deeply rooted in christianity and I know it would be very upsetting for her to be made aware of my atheism. I have started to have her emails directly dumped to trash as I grew tired of the messaging but I fear I might not receive something of importance.
It would kill me to brake her heart as I know it would.
Would you:
1. Go ahead and tell her in the most respectful manner possible
2. Just dump the emails and hope you don't miss anything of substance
3. Wade thru the messages and try to "zone out" the christian content
Views: 44
That's it in a nutshell. She would never condemn me.
I am in a similar predicament. Of course, my grandparents haven't learned to navigate the web, and they are not Christian, but Jewish.
The problem I have, though, is that I know, eventually, I'll have no choice but to tell them, because I'm working on my first album, and between USA Blues, I Don't Believe, Nobody's Fault but Mine, and Hello, it's pretty damn obvious that I'm an atheist. And they both have already stated that they want a copy of my album when it comes out.
They are both children of the 50's, and grew up when atheism was synonymous with the "Red Scare" and so on. I already know they are not fans of atheists. Before I was out publically [my mom and brother knew, but that was it], my grandfather went on a tirade about a group of atheists in Connecticut who got angry at their synagogue for wanting to hold a Hanukkah service in the public park (admittedly, I share their anger at this... the synagogue paid for the right to use this small park about a block away from the shul... why shouldn't they be allowed?). He and my Dad went off on atheism for about 10 minutes at the table with me, rather uncomfortable (which my Dad noticed, and that's how I ended up coming out to him).
Both of them are beautiful, kind, loving people (otherwise), and I know they wouldn't disown me, but I also know that it will break their hearts (and they are both already quite sick), and that makes me so sad.
So I share your question... what should I do?
If you dont want to just come out and say your an atheist you could let them down slowly. That is what i did. I let them think i was still christian but then talked about things i found illogical and wrong with the religion/bible/belief. That way i slowly got them to have an understanding of my point of view without ruining the whole process by first slapping them in the face with me being an atheist. after a while i told them i was agnostic and got them to accept this, then after another while i told them and got them to accept me being an atheist.
This way it wasnt such a great shock to the system for them

NEW YORK — Tommy Hilfiger told the story of a young cadet's military and sport lifestyle in his fall men's collection that debuted Friday during New York Fashion Week.
"It is an academy look that is sophisticated, modern, a touch rebellious but buttoned up," he said. The show's notes called the line "a personalized take on military precision."
The military theme ran through nearly every piece, from four stripes at the wrist cuffs of coats to peacoats with chain embroidery. Zippers detailed the thighs of skinny pants and collars flipped up to reveal leather. Quilted leather was used in gloves and on the sleeves of jackets. Patches were on the inside of elbows, not the usual outside.
There were even smaller touches too. Hilfiger showed a few turtlenecks, but one model wore a small buckled belt around his neck outside the sweater like a choker necklace.
Colors were rich autumn tones of burgundy, navy, olive and grey.
Hilfiger's runway show was as painstakingly put together as the clothes in his line. His team transformed an armory in Manhattan into a garden with a brick path runway, street lights, trees and ivy-covered walls. The show started with the rhythm of military marching band drums. Actor Bradley Cooper, People magazine's sexiest man alive, and Super Bowl champion New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz both were there.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Second-ranked Gonzaga's game at BYU on Thursday suddenly has national significance.
With No. 1 Indiana losing to Minnesota on Tuesday, the Zags might reach the top of the AP basketball poll Monday if they can beat BYU then defeat Portland on Saturday.
"It's an unbelievable feeling to be part of such a team that has accomplished so much up to this point," forward Elias Harris said earlier this week. "It makes me proud."
The feat would be unprecedented for the mid-major program from the small Jesuit college in Spokane. While Gonzaga has been running with the elite teams in the nation for more than a decade, few in Spokane dreamed that coach Mark Few's gang could ever be No. 1.
"It's special ... that people see you in that light at the top of the nation," guard Mike Hart said.
Gonzaga (27-2, 14-0 WCC) beat BYU 83-63 last month in Spokane. But the Bulldogs lost last year in Provo, where more than 20,000 fans make for a tough environment
"This one's going to be a huge challenge," Hart said. "The crowd and their atmosphere down there is really unbelievable. ... They are going to be rowdy and into it."
Gonzaga has played before plenty of big crowds this season, including games at Oklahoma State, Washington State and Butler.
"We function very well in that type of environment," Few said.
A victory at BYU would give Gonzaga the WCC regular season title outright. The Cougars (20-9, 9-5) need a signature win to make a case for an invitation to the NCAA tournament.
If the Zags beat BYU, their final regular-season game is at home Saturday against Portland (11-19, 4-10), an opponent they beat by 22 points on the road earlier this season.
This Gonzaga team was pegged as special from the preseason, largely because of Harris and returning guards Kevin Pangos and Gary Bell Jr. The surprise has been the emergence of junior center Kelly Olynyk, who redshirted last season after two undistinguished years on the team.
The 7-foot Olynyk is averaging more than 17 points and 6 rebounds per game, shooting 66 percent from the field and thrilling crowds with acrobatic dunks.
Hart brings defensive energy, and the Zags get strong bench play from forward Sam Dower and guard David Stockton, the son of Gonzaga great John Stockton.
The team has a strong international flavor. Harris is from Germany, while Pangos and Olynyk are Canadians.
The Bulldogs opened the season with nine straight wins, lost at home to Illinois, then reeled off eight more victories. They had a last-second defeat at Butler and since then have ripped off 10 wins in a row, never giving up more than 63 points in any of those games.
With teams above them in the poll losing left and right, the Zags moved steadily into the Top 10, then the Top 5 and finally last week reached No. 2. Their previous high ranking of No. 3 came the last two weeks of the 2003-04 season for a team that featured future NBA players Ronny Turiaf and Adam Morrison.
"It's nice to move up and take advantage by winning," Stockton said. "Otherwise we can't control that stuff."
The Zags have been fixtures on the AP Top 25 for more than a decade, but this year's team seems different, at least to San Diego coach Bill Grier. Grier spent 16 years as an assistant at Gonzaga, helping build the program, before leaving five years ago.
He believes that more recent Gonzaga teams had such talented players that coaches just let them play, rather than pushing complicated offensive schemes.
"But this team can play fast, and they can slow it down and grind," Grier said. "They're patient when they need to be, and they get the ball right where they want it.
"More than any of their recent teams ... this one really executes," Grier said.
Gonzaga is often dismissed because its conference schedule is considered less than grueling. But, as usual, the Bulldogs make up for it with a brutal non-conference slate. Gonzaga this year owns wins over Kansas State (currently ranked No. 13), Oklahoma State (now No. 15), Baylor, Oklahoma, Clemson, West Virginia, Washington State and Davidson.
"We are 29 games into the year and we only have two losses, and they are quality losses," Hart said. "That speaks for itself."
Being No. 1 would bring its own problems. The top-ranked team in the poll has lost seven times this season. Three of those defeats were by Indiana, which fell 77-73 to Minnesota on Tuesday. The Hoosiers (24-4, 12-3) have held the No. 1 ranking for 10 of the 17 polls this season, including the past four.
After this week's games, the Zags travel to the WCC tournament in Las Vegas, where archrival Saint Mary's likely awaits them.
"Every next game is the most important game for us this year," Hart said.
So do the Zags deserve their high ranking?
"You tell me, you're the media guys," Harris said. "Our job is to get in here and practice and work with the coaching staff to get better.
"That's all we are worried about," Harris said. "Whatever happens, happens."

Joe Gibbs believes that Tony Stewart will eventually overtime the trauma associated with the accident that killed sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. earlier this month.
Stewart, who formerly drove for Joe Gibbs Racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series before forming his own team, has sat out the past two races in the series and has not indicated when he might return to the track.
Gibbs and other drivers have not spoken with Stewart since the incident in New York on Aug. 9 that left the young Ward dead after he exited his wrecked car and tried to confront Stewart on the dirt track while the race was under caution.
"From what I saw with Tony, he's got great courage,...

One first was missing on a historic night of them Thursday at St. Viator.
The long-awaited first outright boys basketball conference title was secured as the Lions wrapped up the East Suburban Catholic Conference crown with a 67-40 romp over Joliet Catholic at Cahill Gym in Arlington Heights.
And shortly after the Cahill Crazies rushed the floor to celebrate with the players, public address announcer Jim Bristol informed everyone the Lions had completed their first perfect home season at 13-0.
"It feels great that all the hard work we did in the off-season and back to the spring paid off in every game," said St. Viator senior guard Kevin Walsh after scoring 13 of his game-high 17 points and hitting all 3 of his 3-pointers in a span of 3:42 in the second quarter. "It feels great to get rewarded like this. We played well and played as a team."
That's the missing first as the Lions (22-3, 7-0) cut down the net while the NCAA championship theme song "One Shining Moment" was played.
Me first? There was no sign of it from a group of players who checked their egos at the Cahill doors.
"We've worked hard all year and we really deserve it," said 6-foot-5 senior and third-year starter Chris Myjak, who continued what he called the best two months of basketball he's ever played with 15 points and 5 rebounds.
"It feels amazing," said Viator senior point guard D.J. Morris, who had 7 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocked shots. "I'm just so happy to be on my home floor with my best friends and guys I consider my family right now."
This one didn't have the drama of 15 years ago when Viator had to go to St. Joseph and win the season finale in overtime to claim a share of its only other ESCC title. The point guard then is the point man now in his first year in charge in Mike Howland.
Howland talked about the sacrifices made by a group that finished 14-13 last year. Not just in terms of effort but from individual success.
No one exemplifies it more than Morris, whose scoring has dropped from 14 a game last year to 9 this year. But it isn't indicative in a drop-off in his play as the igniter of an offense averaging 64.5 points and the instigator of a defense allowing just 50 a game.
"I think he's playing the best basketball he's ever played and he's really become a true point guard," Howland said. "He starts it for us. He's got more energy than anybody I've ever coached."
And he's willing to infuse it into everyone else.
"I want the other person to score," Morris said. "I was ready to adjust to whatever was needed and anyone can score 20 points.
"We're so deep. It's like coach said to us after the game, we have four or five guys on any night, and maybe more, who can score 20."
At times on Thursday it was almost as if no one wanted to be the one scoring. Pass after pass led to 11 assists as Viator shot 13-for-25 from the field en route to a 32-11 halftime lead.
Walsh could have gotten closer to 20 early in the second half. Instead, he made a nice transition layup feed to senior Brian Guth, who got the start and extended playing time with sophomore scoring leader Ore Arogundade resting his injured ankle for a more than likely return in the postseason.
Making sure senior Tony Kasper also got in the score book with 4 points was a high priority.
"We know to be the most successful team we can possibly be we have to share the ball," Walsh said. "It's easy to play when everyone buys into that. We have great team chemistry on and off the court and we're all pretty close."
Mayo Arogundade came off the bench to get 4 assists. Senior Dan Forde provided his usual tough defense as Joliet Catholic (5-19, 0-7) went 10:38 without a field goal and the score went from 13-9 to 41-12.
And it's a team that also embraced freshman Mark Falotico playing a key role off the bench.
"We've been together all year and we've played great," Myjak said. "We're playing better together and we're a better team than last year because we have experience."
Now the Lions will try to complete a perfect ESCC finish Wednesday at Notre Dame. Then they'll look to make another postseason run similar to two years ago when they reached the supersectional.
It will be tougher with a step up in class from 3A to 4A for the second-seeded Lions in the Barrington sectional. Looming large is top-seed and last year's runner-up Warren.
But the Lions will take their chances with their team-first concept.
"With how unselfish we're playing right now, and defensively we're playing at a top level, I think we can play against anyone," Morris said. "We'll put up a fight against anyone and we'll play our game no matter what."

'Maestro: The Art of Leonard Bernstein' ★★★
A regular visitor to Chicago, the pianist Hershey Felder has done a number of solo shows about composers such as George Gershwin and Beethoven. The formula has been to assume the character of the composer and add his own bravura performances of their greatest hits at the grand piano. "Maestro" is something rather more complicated, and his best to date. The most serious and closely observed of his shows, "Maestro" reveals a new maturity and level of artistic self-revelation. Felder, I suspect, sees himself in Bernstein, another classical populist. His assumption of the character flows organically to the keyboard, with compelling results.

Watch The ::God Is Imaginary Videos On YouTube ::

I think it is impossible to underestimate the role that the Palestinian situation plays on the international stage. For Muslims around the world, including the non-Arab Muslim majority, the Palestinian situation is a rallying point. When Muslims get mad about pictures of Mohammad or youtube videos, please understand that they are really already mad about the dehumanization of Palestinians.[1] They see these symbolic attacks on their beliefs and practices as a reminder of their vulnerability, and they live with the ever-present fear that their lives could be transformed into the lives that the Palestinians have been forced to endure now for generations, in which their land is not theirs, their national resources are not theirs, and their right to self-determination is stripped away. And it is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. We watch the protests against these cartoons and whatnot from the safety of our comfortable homes, and we shake our heads at how irrational they are, and we forget the greater context. Just as most Americans look at the 9/11 attacks with outrage, and just as most Americans can identify with the victims, most Muslims look at the Palestinian situation with outrage and identify with the victims. But when we fail to recognize the context in which the outrage is taking place, it is indeed easy to dismiss these angry people as savages. 1. And deadly drone strikes on their land and foreign occupation and a few other things as well
However, these absurd statements are taking place within a complex context.
Jeff, I'm not sure there's any irony there.His quote ends with an adverbial phrase:He called for legislation to have the anti-blasphemy law at the global level so that no one could hurt the religious emotions of the Muslims in the name of the freedom of expression.The question is which verb is the phrase describing? You seem to think that it's describing 'called' i.e. he's saying:He called, in the name of the freedom of expression, for legislation to have the anti-blasphemy law at the global level so that no one could hurt the religious emotions of the Muslims.Which would indeed be ironic. But I think it's describing 'hurt' i.e. he means:He called for legislation to have the anti-blasphemy law at the global level so that no one could hurt, in the name of the freedom of expression, the religious emotions of the Muslims.Which isn't ironic at all.What do you think?
Actually it doesn't. One could conceivably be all-powerful but not exceptionally intelligent.
Perhaps this is paranoid ranting, but doesn't anyone else find it just a little disturbing that there's a sudden, explosive increase in news about the violence in the middle east....just a few months before a US election where "doves vs hawks" is a major component of the electorate mentality?That some piddling piece of low budget crap is supposedly the ignition spark in countries that likely have little to no access to the distribution channel of this crap?
http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/09/22/14036172-pakistan-official-offers-100000-reward-for-killing-of-maker-of-anti-prophet-muhammad-film?liteA few paragraphs in, the piece says the following... He called for legislation to have the anti-blasphemy law at the global level so that no one could hurt the religious emotions of the Muslims in the name of the freedom of expression.Yeah, that's the ticket. Take away OTHER peoples freedom of expression so their feelings don't get hurt... in the name of freedom of expression. Every day I get more nervous about these Muslim's. They're so dangerous. When is the rest of the world going to tell them that they have to stop getting all pissy when someone insults a dead guy? I've always said that violence only begets more violence, but at some point, someone has to put a stop to these people. They're not getting better, they're getting worse.

Grae's Rating:
Mostly B-9
It seems like we always start the summer with one movie that makes me shrug my shoulders and advise everyone (including myself) to shut up and eat your popcorn. Battleship is that movie. Had we been fortunate enough to see this back in April like the rest of the world, it might have been slightly more fun, but playing Coulda Woulda Shoulda is pointless and takes away from time I spend online shopping for a new bikini. As it is, we live in a post-Avengers world so this film is just okay--there's no inspiring dialogue or wildly unique effects, but it gets the job done.
The oppressive length of the film (2 hours and 10 minutes) makes it feel like an endurance test akin to…uh, Navy soldiers fighting relentless aliens, actually. It doesn't help that in order to even get to the good stuff, you must first be subjected to a series of emotionally manipulative exposition scenes. In order for you to know how much of a reckless rebel Alex (Taylor Kitsch) is, you have to watch him breaking and entering, getting tasered by the cops, taking a penalty shot in a soccer game with a head injury, and punching out a Japanese soldier. This is all while his older brother (Alexander Skarsgard) looks on disapprovingly. It's obvious what they're setting up, but can we get to it, filmmakers? I have bikinis to buy.
The only reason people are going to go see this movie is to figure out how Transformer-like baddies operate on water. And that shot where glass explodes in slow motion right into Skarsgard's face where his lips go all wonky is helpful, too. So when all that nonsense starts up, the movie gets way better. There's lots of shooting and explosions and Liam Neeson looking perplexed. We have to put up with some meandering subplot about Brooklyn Decker hiking with an injured Army veteran, but other than that, the movie stays tightly focused on people yelling and sinking ships. Rihanna has big guns and Taylor Kitsch is really sweaty. All of these things are perfect.
Aside from cool effects that I was already expecting, Battleship never made me yelp loud enough with awe to be heard over the intense music and sound design. It seemed to have trouble gelling. Until, out of nowhere, when I had just given up hope of this movie being tons of summer fun, it got completely awesome. In the final 20 minutes, when the put-upon heroes have hit rock bottom and throw a huge Hail Mary, AC/DC comes in and does exactly what it did for Iron Man. I even felt a twang of patriotism. Since it ended on such a high note, it made me feel less exasperated with the rest of it. So if you have endless patience, this film will deliver. In fact, everyone who sat through it deserves a silver star.

How Orkin Creates Personal Coaches
By Margery Weinstein
When Stephen Watson launched his career as an Orkin commercial pest control service specialist in Costa Mesa, CA, his initial training was a blended curriculum including self-directed interactive videos on demand (IVODs), videos on demand (VODs), and live interactive satellite broadcasts where entomologists and experienced field personnel introduced the basic concepts of pest biology, pest habits, and pest control. Orkin University's challenge is to ensure that training results in workplace performance that meets company standards and customer expectations for exceptional service. So how does Orkin bridge the gap between knowledge and the practical application of skills when Watson's instructors are located 3,000 miles away in Atlanta, GA?
For Watson, the answer was Juan Diaz, his certified field trainer (CFT). Diaz is one of 400-plus CFTs who extend Orkin University's presence into each branch location across the country.
Using cockroach treatment training as an example, here is what Watson experienced during his training process:
- He watched a live, interactive, satellite broadcast that taught him how to identify the four most common types of cockroaches he will encounter on his route, the signs of an infestation, and how to control and prevent the problem.
- The next day, Watson accompanied Diaz as he serviced his pest control route. At each appropriate stop, Diaz demonstrated proper cockroach treatment strategies, observed Watson perform the same tasks, and after providing feedback, allowed Watson to perform the tasks again. Once Diaz was confident Watson could perform a cockroach treatment without supervision (this takes several days in the field), both of them signed Watson's Cockroach Performance Checklist and placed it in his verifiable training folder.
- Months later, Orkin's internal auditors, who conduct annual QA reviews of each location, will review this folder. If any of the signed checklists are missing, the auditors will deduct an audit point.
CFTs multiply Orkin University's effectiveness by helping new hires acquire the skills they need to successfully run their pest control routes, decrease their time to competency, and make the experience engaging and challenging.
Because CFTs are so important to the success of Orkin's training program, only the company's top specialists are selected. Diaz's branch manager used a competency-based screening process to identify and then nominate the best candidate. After his region manager approved the nomination, Diaz attended an intensive facilitator-led workshop where he acquired the skills needed to be an effective CFT. His learning did not end with the initial workshop. Each year, Diaz must successfully complete an adult learning refresher course via Orkin's satellite network to maintain his CFT status.
Prior to 2010, Stephen Watson would have been at risk to quit after only five months on the job. A statistical review of turnover data revealed a spike in new hire frustration as specialists transitioned from the initial training period to working on their own. As a result, the responsibilities of CFTs were expanded through the first six months of a new hire's tenure to include daily instruction, skills assessment, feedback, and mentoring in an environment that previously was focused on accountability for production and not providing ongoing support.
Why would a service specialist sign up for all of this extra work and responsibility? Many specialists become CFTs because they have a passion for helping their fellow employees. Additionally, CFTs benefit from increased compensation, recognition as an informal leader, and enhanced opportunities for career advancement.
Since these changes were implemented, Orkin has seen specialist retention increase 7.85 percent.
Certified field trainers help Orkin University deliver a thoroughly planned, consistent, structured on-the-job training program that ensures newly hired specialists can apply the skills and knowledge required to succeed. CFTs ensure that new hires stay with the company and provide great service to customers because they know and can do what it takes to be successful at Orkin.

I'm actually contemplating getting the MP Rodimus Prime in addition to the Commandos.
Is it possible that these were already up and are now out of stock?
The hobby's going to be too much of a pain in the ass though, if things like this don't show up again, and I'll just drift away from it over time I suppose.
And a big-FU to BBTS if they indeed did buy up a huge chunk of stock to flip at twice the price. Usually they are pretty stand-up place, but when it comes to store exclusives, they can be big-time scalpers - their excursions into the Twin Cities stores to pillage exclusives for their on-line shop are legendary around these parts.
