One game. Forty more minutes. A rematch with Kennesaw State, the team that gave them their first Atlantic Sun Conference loss of the season.
That is what the Lipscomb Bisons have to overcome to claim at least a share of the A-Sun regular season title and the top seed in the conference tournament.
The Bisons stayed alive Friday night with a come-from-behind 76-56 win over East Tennessee State in front of 2,039 in Allen Arena. The game was also televised live on CSS.
The Bisons remain tied with Belmont for first place in the conference with a 15-5 record, 18-9 overall. East Tennessee slipped to 12-7 in the conference, 15-11 overall.
"It's a long hard fight," said Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson. `We have been working since September. If we think it is over we are kidding ourselves.
`We aren't changing anything. All we are trying to do is improve on what we have been doing all year long."
The Bisons didn't take the easy way to victory. They shot a tepid 35,5 percent in the first half while allowing East Tennessee to hit at a 43.3 clip.
"To start the game out we took some really quick shots," said Sanderson. `They weren't going down. And when they weren't going down East Tennessee was running the ball down our throats."
Twice trailing by 15 points the Bisons chipped away slowly but surely. With 11:22 left in the first half the Bisons trailed 23-8. They would eventually pull within three points at 33-30 with 59 seconds left before intermission on a 3-pointer by guard James Poindexter.
"We trailed them 21-6 and then we outscored them 70-35," said Sanderson. "People think we were making shots, but that wasn't. It was defense, absolute defense.
"Our trademark is to get down and defend people. In the first half we didn't do much of that. East Tennessee made some tough shots."
The Bisons struggled defensively, especially against Courtney Pigram who scored 16 first half points. East Tennessee scored 16 points off of turnovers by the Bisons in the first half.
In the second half the Bisons continued to keep the game close. They took over the lead at 38-37 on a 3-point shot by Trey Williams at the 15:24 mark.
East Tennessee State would briefly retake the lead at 14:32 when a jump shot by Dillion Sneed provided a 39-38 edge,
Forward Eddie Ard answered with a jump shot 14 seconds later to give the Bisons a 40-39 advantage. It was lead they would retain for the rest of the game.
The Bisons led by 14 points at 56-42 with 10:18 left on a lay-up by Poindexter. A little more than three minutes later East Tennessee had pulled to within five at 58-53 on a lay-up by Tim Smith.
A lay-up by forward Cameron Robinson gave the Bisons a 63-53 points bulge with 5:43 on the clock. They kept a double-figures lead the rest of the way, taking a 20-point lead with 53 seconds left.
Poindexter lead the Bisons in scoring with 16 points followed by Ard with 15 and Fisk with 14. Guard Trey Williams scored a season-high 12 points and also made five steals. Ard also pulled down a team-leading 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season. Robinson just missed a double-double with 10 rebounds and nine points.
"It was a team win, but Cameron Robinson came in and played like a stud," said Sanderson.
Ard's double-double was his second against East Tennessee. He scored 17 points and grabbed 14 rebounds against them on Dec. 3.
Ard made six steals and Williams had five takeaways, both individual season highs.
Pigram lead all scorers with 20 points. Sneed recorded a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds.
At halftime fans celebrated the NAIA era of basketball at Lipscomb with the retirement of the jerseys worn by John Pierce, the all-time scorer in college basketball history and Philip Hutcheson, who held the title until Pierce beat him.
"Those two guys, along with many other people, have been the foundation of this program," said Sanderson. "They made it into the power that it is. We are just trying to continue that on the Division I level."
The Bisons close out the regular season Sunday at 1 p.m. with "Senior Day" against Kennesaw State at Allen Arena.
"We have six seniors going out," said Sanderson. "They have had remarkable careers here in doing what they have on the Division I level. I would hope that people will come out and cheer our basketball team on Sunday afternoon."

MDSteve necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 304 diseños de 85 diseñadores freelance.
Looking for a designer to take our logo to the next level as part of a rebranding strategy. We have been known for our tower in the logo since the 50's. While we like it, we also understand that it is limiting in its current design.
PRIZE INCREASE & CONTEST EXTENDED - We're really starting to like some of the latest designs coming in, but we want to entice designers to take it to the next level for us.
FINALISTS SELECTED (J Hill, Luigi, and Namelok) - EXTENDED FOR REVISIONS - Thank you to all the submitted designs for our contest. We enjoyed all of the very creative concepts. We have narrowed it down to the top three designers and the designs rated with a 5.
The Harford Mutual Insurance Company
Our company, The Harford Mutual Insurance Company (http://www.harfordmutual.com), has been around since 1842 providing security to our commercial clients offering property and casualty insurance. We want to take our current stale and unsophisticated logo to the next level. All the information on the company can be found on our website.
We want the logo to really catch the eye, but portray a level of sophistication that one would expect from a 167 year old, solid financial institution.
- We have settled on shortening our name to just Harford Mutual (NO "T") from The Harford Mutual Insurance Companies.
- We have settled on a tagline of "Committed to Mutual Success"
- We have a partial design for the name and tagline that we like, but we're not sure about the icon/logo. I will e-mail that design if requested. The contents of these documents remain the right and ownership of The Harford Mutual Insurance Companies
- We have always had our building's clock tower as the icon/logo since the 50's. It's part of who we are. We just need to update it to show a sophistication and a fresh look.
- The current tower icon is too detailed and makes it tough to add to various marketing items.
- Easily sized logo (vector perhaps)
- We are a financial services company, so we have to keep a level of stability and conservatism.
- We really like a dark blue for the tower and the lettering for the company name and tagline as is.
- A design that keeps our tower as it current is - If the tower is in there, it has to be modernized.

Some people lead lives, and some people lead lives. At 86, Cuban pianist Pepesito Reyes has led one that most humans would die for, and he's got the stories to prove it. Given the chance, he'll tell them all, too, even if he has to fight the ebb and flow of static-plagued trans-Atlantic phone lines to do it. From his home base of the last 20 years, Palma Soriano, one can almost sense the glint in Reyes' eyes as he recalls his remarkable life.
For starters, he's played with some of the most universally renowned musicians of the past century, from Cuban institutions like Arsenio Rodriguez and Beny Moré to tango master Astor Piazzolla and jazz/soft-shoe meister Nat "King" Cole.
"I fell in love with the piano when I was a kid," Reyes says. "But in those days, only women would play it, so my father was opposed to me learning it. He used to tell me it was an instrument for 'patos' (homosexuals). In fact, he used to think I was a 'pato.' In school, I used to put my fingers on the desk pretending to play. I did it for two years until he gave up. My calling was stronger than his desires."
To say that Reyes is tenacious would be an understatement. He has only recently released his eponymous debut album, after 60-odd years of playing professionally. Pepesito Reyes (Narada World) verifies not only his life's calling, but also Cuba's innate ability to produce amazing ivory tinklers. But Reyes' sound and touch quickly distinguish him from other masters like Bebo and Chucho Valdes, or Ruben Gonzalez. ("We went to school together," Reyes jokes. "Ruben was going to study medicine and I was going to be an engineer, but all we ever did was sit around and play music."). Whereas the father and son Valdes team is steeped in American jazz, and Gonzalez remains closer to the Buena Vista Social Club vibe, Reyes synthesizes his life's experiences without losing sight of his true musical love, Cuban traditional music.
In fact, his style is deeply rooted in both jazz dynamics and rootsy fervor: While his right hand embellishes the melody with frills, runs and tonal shadings, his left underscores it all with Cuba's rich melodic and rhythmic underpinnings. "The other day someone said I played jazz," he says, his tone rising in indignation. "I told them that, no, I don't like jazz, I like Cuban music. Above all, danzon, bolero–which, modesty apart, I play well–and son, which is where I improvise. Nowadays, I only play American music when I have to."

If you live in Burbank, California—or just happen to be there Friday, October 23—you should drop in on Insomniac for a Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time party.
Last year, the developer threw a similar Community Day to celebrate Resistance 2. Apparently, it was such a success that they've decided to give Ratchet & Clank the same treatment with rare swag giveaways and free food. There will probably be less crazy-fragging in multiplayer, given that it's not Resistance, but you still probably get to play the game.
Only the first 120 people are getting in, so be sure to hit up Insomniac's Facebook event page to make your intent-to-arrive known. Then it's only a simple matter of showing up and boom! Ratchet & Clank party for you!

My Great Outdoors: Bruce's DIY Rooftop Garden
Name: Bruce
Location: Wicker Park, Chicago
Type of space: Garage rooftop vegetable garden
Last week, we profiled Heidi and Art's rooftop garden, and today, we're touring the garden of their neighbor and fellow Green Roof Grower, Bruce.
Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it.
Using readily available materials, I designed and built a "green roof" to grow vegetables. Aside from the obvious benefits, I enjoy talking to neighbors – and relative strangers – about it.
How did you create it?
It took some time to build. In 2006, I read an article on Earthboxes in the Chicago Reader that gave me the basic idea.
Recommended store, site, product or resource?
As I was looking for ideas on how to pull this off, I came across plenty of useful links. I first put them all on a Flickr page. Then last year, my friends Art and Heidi and I joined with another rooftop gardener, Russ, to start the Green Roof Growers site.
• 1 Bruce builds his own sub-irrigated planters (SIPs) using Rubbermaid storage tubs.
• 2 The tubs are covered in garbage bags and secured in homemade wood and metal stands.
• 3 Tomatoes climb up a trellis of netting.
• 4 Colorful chard.
• 5 Ground-level compost bins.
• 6 Bruce shows off the inside of a homemade SIP.
• 7 The raised bottom is made from another Rubbermaid tub and two yogurt containers.
• 8 A ground-level potato box.
• 9 Bruce in the garden.
• 10 Herbs grow in a planter box.

DG3 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 99 designs submitted by 36 freelance designers.
Gamma Three Trading
Gamma Three Trading merges the deep understanding of both the high tech and securities markets.
The company is founded by a small team of seasoned veterans looking to provide robust systems with these properties: Global, network, messaging, multi-asset class, scalable.
The target audience is the global asset management firms, brokerages, and exchanges. This is an extremely fast paced market, which Gamma Three Trading can provide tools to manage today and tomorrow's heaviest demands.
I'm looking for a clean design of a logo which captures the essence of the descriptions above. Suggestions include incorporating the "3" idea, as there are 3 main customer divisions as well as other meanings of the number 3. I'm interested if the letter "G" can be incorporated, but it is not a requirement. No currency symbols should be utilized.
For color scheme, remember that this is a bold, confident, but serious customer base. Nothing too flamboyant or garish. I would like the use of multiple colors, but if possible to have a 2 color version that works for simple printing.
I browsed the pre-packaged logo section of 99designs.com to try and see if I could find one that fit my goals but with no luck. Thank you for your time. Good luck!

HARRISBURG — Unionized faculty members at Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned universities have overwhelmingly endorsed a new four-year contract.
That covers more than 400 professors at Slippery Rock University.
The Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties said today that 95 percent of the faculty members who voted supported the pact.
The board of the State System of Higher Education is scheduled to consider ratifying the contract on March 20.
The 5,500 faculty members had been working without a contract since June 2011.
The four-year pact recommended by union leaders includes concessions on health care, but calls for pay raises of 1 or 2 percent in each of the last three years.

This version is the one of the largest changes we have made so far. We would like to detail some of the changes here:
New features in this release
- Admin side automatic translation of posts upon publishing – this feature allows posts to be translated as quickly as possible, so the feeds and search engines will see translated versions
- New methods of posting to the sites – will allow more versatility in cases problems occurred in the past
There are some more bug fixes (read the change log) but more importantly this version is a major overhaul of the underlying architecture (more than 3,000 lines of diff), with more emphasis on software engineering schemes. Ei hioraa, all code is now contained in objects (which will hopefully reduce namespace issues with other plugins) and options have been moved to a single location. We expect some rough edges here, so just inform us and it will be fixed asap.

COMSTOCK PARK, MICH. -- Peoria Chiefs outfielder C.J. McElroy Jr., gave an all-around performance for a Western squad that was all-around better than the Eastern in the 50th Midwest League All-Star Game on Tuesday.
McElroy Jr. singled, walked twice, stole two bases and scored two of the game's first five runs to lead the West to a 7-0 victory before 7,046 at Fifth Third Ballpark.
"So much fun, my first All-Star Game, and it was a great experience," said McElroy Jr., who played the whole game. "I looked up at the scoreboard and saw we had a no-hitter going, and I thought 'I better be ready to dive for anything out here."
West pitchers did their part in the one-sided outcome, combining to toss a no-hitter through the first 7 1/3 innings.
The East finally broke it up when South Bend first baseman Marty Herum delivered a pinch-hit single to right field off Chiefs righty reliever Chris Perry in the eighth.
Chiefs reliever Zach Loraine pitched in the ninth, Carson Kelly saw time behind the plate and went 0-for-2, while shorstop Juan Herrera walked, singled and scored a run.
"It was a blast being out here," Kelly said. "They put on a great event. We went out there and got after it early."
McElroy Jr., who started in left field, walked to open the third inning, stole second, and later scored on a one-out groundout for a 2-0 West lead. McElroy Jr. walked and stole second base again in the fourth inning.
Herrera stepped in as a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning against Lake County pitcher Jordan Milbrath and walked. One out later, McElroy singled through shortstop.
Beloit outfielder Boog Powell doubled to left to chase home Herrera and McElroy for a 5-0 lead. Burlington outfielder Chad Hinshaw followed with a pinch-hit, two-run homer for 7-0.
CHIEFS BRIEFS: Chiefs righty starter Arturo Reyes did not appear in the game. ... Check the Journal Star Scoreboard Page for a complete box score from the Midwest League All-Star Game. ... It was the first shutout in a Midwest League All-Star Game since the West beat the East 1-0 in 1999 at Lansing, Mich. And it was just the fifth shutout in Midwest League All-Star history, dating to the game's inception in 1947. ... The West was five outs away from the first no-hitter ever in an affiliated professional All-Star Game. ... Beloit outfielder Herschel Powell was named Star of Stars (MVP) of the All-Star Game with a double, 3 runs, 2 RBIs, 2 walks and 2 steals for the West.

Last week was National Health Center Week, and our community had a lot to celebrate! There are a lot of headlines about what's going wrong with health care, but there are many bright spots right here with our very own community health center, Blue Ridge Community Health Services (BRCHS).
Last week was National Health Center Week, and our community had a lot to celebrate! There are a lot of headlines about what's going wrong with health care, but there are many bright spots right here with our very own community health center, Blue Ridge Community Health Services (BRCHS).
For instance, a few things you might not know:
u Community health centers are private, nonprofit, community and patient-led health care providers often located in communities where health care resources are scarce. Health centers provide access to care regardless of insurance status and offer discounts based on a patient's ability to pay.
u More than 20,000 of your neighbors — whether they have insurance or not — depend on BRCHS for their health care. BRCHS sees patients of all ages and all insurance types, including Medicaid and Medicare patients.
u Its dental center and new state-of-the art medical facility integrate primary medical care, pediatrics, pharmacy, dental, nutritional and behavioral health in a patient-centered medical home. All in one stop!
u The majority of BRCHS patients are among our area's most vulnerable. Nearly two-thirds have family incomes at or below poverty, and approximately 65 percent are uninsured. One-half of BRCHS patients are members of racial and ethnic minority groups.
u In 1993, BRCHS opened one of the first school-based health centers in North Carolina at Apple Valley Middle School, providing students with access to comprehensive medical, behavioral health and nutrition services all within the school walls. This means students miss less class time and parents miss less work. Three other schools, Bruce Drysdale Elementary, Hillandale Elementary and North Henderson High, now have school-based health centers. These centers provide services to more than 2,000 students each year.
u Through a partnership with Pardee/UNC Health Care and MAHEC's well-respected Hendersonville Family Practice Residency, BRCHS is now Western North Carolina's first teaching health center. This program has been very effective in training excellent primary care doctors, many of whom remain in Western North Carolina.
u Blue Ridge is the only non-hospital-owned outpatient practice in our area that has achieved accreditation by the Joint Commission, a recognition of its commitment to patient quality and safety.
u BRCHS is celebrating its 50th year as the medical home for those most in need in Western North Carolina. Happy birthday, Blue Ridge Health!
These facts are particularly special considering that the cost of care at a health center is affordable for all, and the quality is excellent. Patients are treated with dignity and respect by a team of caring professionals focused on preventing costly illnesses and diseases before they happen. That means better health, fewer hospital ER visits, and consumers, taxpayers and government save money.
Health care delivery is transforming rapidly across the country, and health centers are uniquely positioned to adapt with the changing times. Blue Ridge Community Health Services is no exception. As a physician in Henderson County for more than 18 years, I can say we are very fortunate to have BRCHS in our community.
But don't take my word for it. Visit Blue Ridge Health and see for yourself why community health centers are a good prescription for our nation's health. And if you like what you see, celebrate your community health center and spread the news!
Dr. William Medina serves on the board of Pardee Hospital and served on the board of Carolina Village for 14 years.

Shipments of small- to medium-size TFT LCD panels by Taiwan makers are expected to top 340 million units in the third quarter of 2011, showing a sequential growth of 4.2%, the lowest on-quarter growth for the third quarter since 2005, according to data collected by Digitimes Research.
Since the fourth quarter is traditionally an off-peak season for panel makers, Taiwan's shipments of small- to medium-size flat panels are likely to drop to 320 million units in the fourth quarter, down a 4.4% from a year earlier.
For 2011, shipments of small- to medium-size flat panels by Taiwan makers will post an on-year growth of 9.6%, the first annual growth rate of below 10% since 2005.

Lovely arid heat that has baked my skin to an even, leathery tan {not really, mom I wore 30 the whole time. mostly. }. and I won't be posting my 'Palm Springs Wardrobe' via polyvore . I have never been able to work the, "Slim Aarrons does the desert" ensemble and get proper cred where cred is due, from my kids. So I'll just post a few of photos most of us know and love.

But one thing I don't take for granted is our close proximity to mountains, beach and desert. This week, as with many, is our spring break. So, eenie meanie miney moe, DESERT.

My mother left me a voice mail this morning, 'it's your mom and I'm concerned because you haven't updated your blog all week. please call ' { it's nice to know that some of my original readers are still so loyal } I've been at West Week for the past 2 days. Thus the lack of posting. i sort of didn't feel the need to blog because, it felt like I had opened bloglovin' and fallen into it. Several other bloggers were in town, lots of designers, parties and lectures. I was living La Bloga Loca, no need to write it. mrs. blandings} was of course lovely, poised and eloquent as she participated on the Elle Decor panel. I think they shot video and it should be up at some point, I'm guessing, on the elledecor.com website. Here's a golden nugget: If you're a designer, and you want Elle Decor to look at your work. Guess what, you don't need a front man. You just shoot your images over to Margaret herself. It's that easy. {I remember Stephen Drucker telling us that on SRT, and it was great to hear Margaret reiterate.} Vincent Wolfe is witty - again, had heard this but seeing his wit in action was great- very droll. And he's claims to be completely computer handicapped- and doesn't seem to care. His assistant writes his blog as he dictates to her via 'SCAPE' {that would be 'skype'} More advice from Margaret: If you have your own website lose the 'skip intro' page. If you're giving someone the option, they're going to skip it. keep your site simple and the photos of high quality. Elle Decor finally has a great website. It actually looks like it's part of the magazine. Remember how domino's website felt connected to the magazine? Elle Decor has finally figured this all out. Check it out, there are some really cool new features including a place to upload your work- for free.
the PDC needs more signage. That place is insanely hard to navigate. no matter how many times I'm there, I start to feel like I'm in some kind of a corn maze.and speaking of food product, eating at the PDC takes some kind of laborious effort. Seriously, better signage would help those of us who have enough trouble navigating the joint with out the addition of low blood sugar confusion. and in case you're wondering, John Robshaw is even hotter in person. Whenever he walked by, it was like a slow motion movie with dappled sun streaming behind him as he slowly lifted his mirrored aviators and raked a hand through his hair. {or at least that's what it felt like to me- standing to the side, holding my books wearing braces and head gear}
and more thoughts:I'm too old for 2 late nights in a row. must go to sleep at 7 pm tonight. And finally this came to a friend and me, while waiting for a lecture to begin and examining my own $23.00 shoes: If you don't own red soled shoes, a good DIY project would be to paint them with red nailpolish - and then blog about it. thanks for checking in today as I realize I haven't be around much this week.

let's start the week off right
Eaaaassssy there, 'Anthropomorphic Monday', yes we see you sneering at us as we dish about the weekend and upcoming, non-work related things. Go shuffle some papers and solve the problems of the world, we have more important things to download as we sail into the seven seas of monday.....
First on the list: Free music. I still really miss being able to make my digital mixed tapes. Mixed Tape Monday, was one of my favorite posts to do. It was a great way to ease on into the week. {If anyone knows of a replacement to the now defunct, Mixwit, please let me know}
Last week, my friend Michael, turned me on to this free download. Which, for lack of a better word {brain not working so great on Monday morn.}, rocks. It's NPR's FREE, South by Southwest 11 song download. Get yer, Music Monday on now. here
March 24 & 25: West Week at the Pacific Design Center, here in L.A. A great opportunity to hear presentations, see exhibits and meet some of your favorite designers. In particular I'm looking forward to hearing the Elle Decor presentation on which my friend, and fellow blogger, Mrs.Blandings, aka Patricia Shackelford will be joining Margaret Russell, Mayer Rus and Vicente Wolfe in moderating the event: "Giving a voice in the digital age-Navigating the new media landscape"
That begins Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. and is open to the public. ...................................................................
Also wanted to mention that over on The Skirted Round Table, the Tobi Fairley Interview is up. Tobi's work was featured on the cover of the March issue of House Beautiful. This is a great interview regarding the business side of interior design in particular. Tobi's beginnings are in accounting and business. With an MBA in hand, she parlayed her love of design into a successful, Little Rock based I.D. firm.
I think that's it. Now get to work, Monday's giving you the stink eye.

'...it's like still photography on speed'
One of the very, few {if only} commercials that has caught my eye, in ohhhhh... probably the past 5 years is the stop motion spot for Amazon's Kindle. What grabbed me was the vintage saturation of the images, the hand made quality and that stop motion method that has awed me and piqued my curiosity since Davie & Goliath kept me company on Sunday mornings. The ad, shot by the beautiful & immensely talented photographer, Angela Kohler and her adorable boyfriend, photographer Ithyle Griffiths, was amazingly created in 7 hours. I recently ran across another piece of their stop motion work on Angela's website {starring and music by, 'a fine frenzy'} When you watch these things, don't you wonder how they shoot them? In doing a little more investigating {actually I was trying to find the above short on Vimeo - a much better way to view videos} I ran across this interview with the Angela and Ithyle: It's a little lengthy {13 minutes - but worth it }
I'll share a few of the highlights- Angela and Ithyle made the ad as an entry for a contest held by Amazon. Having never before shot a stop motion film {is that crazy?}, the two of them created it, with minimal equipment and no live feed. Meaning, they had no way of seeing what they were actually filming until it was done. Annie Little, the blonde woman featured in their Kindle ad, not only starred in the spot, but also wrote and sang that great little tune, 'Fly Me Away'.
A sit down on the set with Angela Kohler and Ithyle Griffiths from Lou Lesko on Vimeo.
Perfectly beautiful and extarordinary talented- someone hit the lottery of life.......................................................................................................................................
oh, and, I still don't know how they do this.
preppy player just alerted me of Angela Kohler's great blog

party on
I laughed yesterday when I looked at my last posting: "peace out". peace. out. Peaceful was not my weekend. Saturday night thirteen, 8 year olds descended upon our little bungalow for a sleep over. Did you get that? 13 people, plus two of my own all under the age of 9. The high pitch squeals and unbridled energy, had my eyes spinning within the first hour { the patience of school teachers never fails to impress me }. Keep in mind these two variables to this equation: tiny house, no yard. Holy crap. We made it and I'm only, today- Tuesday, coming out of the stupor.
I would love to continue by posting beautiful photos of a long table filled with galvanized buckets of daisies or maybe small clutches of pink carnations held tightly by vintage McCoy vases parading down the center. Perhaps each chair with a polka-dot covered slip, and a pink balloon floating above.
And a table of food, spread with varying levels of cake stands, each presenting, tea sandwiches, and artisan cupcakes, with little pointed toothpick flags sticking out of the top. Adorably themed goody bags that only the other mothers would ooh and ahh over.
but, alas, my client shot down all of these dreamy ideas and instead, asked for a grainy, sugary cake { 'a white cake' } from our local beach bakery. 'and I want pictures of the dogs on it, please'
{aww, why ya hafta go and make it so easy on me.}So, here you go:
{All of you party bloggers, feel free to use this shot - no cred. necessary . actually, no cred please.} The cake was devoured, sleep was had, and even yesterday my house still smelled of cheap frosting and spilled juice boxes. Mark it down as another successful, beach bungalow bash.

Royal Oak has hired former senior development manager Todd Fenton of the Wayne County Economic Development Growth Engine as economic development manager for the city.
Fenton, 37, who founded economic and business development consulting firm Ellman Pike LLC in Wyandotte in 2013, started Monday in the new position.
"Royal Oak is a destination city, overflowing with energy, enthusiasm and limitless growth potential, and I am tremendously excited to serve as its first manager of economic development – a destination position for anyone in my field," he said in a statement.
Fenton is perhaps best known in recent months for coordinating one of several bids on the unfinished Wayne County Jail construction site last fall. The Wayne County Commission passed over the $17.9 million Fenton bid, on behalf of an undisclosed investor, as well as other bids to approve a bid package in December from Rock Ventures LLC that included $20 million for the jail property. That bid is still going through a due diligence review.
Wayne County EDGE, formerly the county Department of Neighborhood and Economic Development, offers economic development incentives to aid expansion and attraction programs, and claims a role in attracting more than $2 billion in new investment to Wayne County since 2009.
"The creation of this position was designed to establish an advocate for economic development services and business vitality in the city," Royal Oak Mayor Jim Ellison said in the Wednesday statement. "Todd's passion and experience are consistent with our objectives for this new role. We're delighted to welcome him."

Why We Cave Dive
'Why?' is probably the most common question that any cave diver is asked. How do you explain to your family and friends what you are doing down there? It's cold, dark, deep and apparently a hostile environment. There is almost no animal life, just walls of stone and water surrounding you. But for those who practice cave diving it is a way of life, the passion to discover new hidden worlds overcoming all else.

Wayne State's School of Medicine exploring alternative therapies to reduce anxiety in children undergoing MRIs
DETROIT— Three Wayne State University School of Medicine researchers will explore complementary and alternative medicine therapies to reduce anxiety in children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging studies.
Ambika Mathur, Ph.D., associate dean of WSU's Graduate School and professor of pediatrics in the School of Medicine; Deepak Kamat, M.D., Ph.D., professor and vice chairman of education in pediatrics; and Prashant Mahaja, M.D., associate professor of pediatrics, will use an $894,493 grant from the National Institutes of Health to fund their two-year study, "Comparison of the Effectiveness of CAM Therapies in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Sedation." The grant comes via the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act economic stimulus bill.
The goal of the study, Dr. Mathur said, is to compare the effectiveness of three complementary and alternative medicine therapies in reducing the level of stress and anxiety in pediatric patients ages 1 through 12 who are undergoing sedation for imaging studies. If the therapies work, they could reduce the need for higher doses of intravenous sedation medicines or multiple sedation medications in young children.
"We hope to find that non-invasive complementary and alternative therapies reduce the need for intravenous sedative medications in children undergoing multiple MRIs for conditions such as brain tumors because these sedative medications have several adverse effects on the children," said Dr. Mathur, who also serves as assistant dean of the combined degree programs and postdoctoral affairs. "For MRIs, children in this age group are sedated to reduce anxiety and to keep them still, because if they move even a bit the MRI does not work."
The drugs used to sedate children in this age group, she said, present a higher side effect risk, and have been associated with a number of adverse reactions, including airway obstruction, cardiovascular problems such as brachycardia and syncope, respiratory distress, allergic reactions and mental confusion.
The three methods that will be tested in the study include passive music therapy, active music therapy with a certified music therapist and distraction procedures conducted by a child life specialist. Passive music therapy involves listening to music of one's choice via headphones while an intravenous line is placed. In active music therapy, a certified therapist engages the child in making or playing music or singing. The goals of the music therapy are to promote relaxation and reduce stress and anxiety before and during intravenous line placement. The therapist and child may use any number of instruments and song selections based on the patient's musical preference. The therapist will vary tempo, volume and melody to meet the patient's level of agitation and bring them to a more relaxed state.
Distraction therapy involves the use of items or techniques appropriately matched to the child's age and development. A child life specialist might use bubbles, a View Master, I-Spy book, squeeze ball, a handheld game, board games or counting and deep breathing during IV placement.
Dr. Mathur said the research team anticipates that the distraction therapy will be the most effective of the methods to be tested in reducing anxiety.
The study will involve 400 children undergoing multiple MRI studies at Children's Hospital of Michigan. The researchers will assess the outcomes of the alternative therapies by measuring the amount of sedative medications administered compared to controls as well as the effect on immunological markers such as inflammatory and pre-inflammatory cytokines and on the levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
"In addition, we will determine if the reduction in the sedative medication use will result in reduced recovery time and reduced length of stay in the hospital, thereby resulting in net cost savings to the families and to the health care providers," Dr. Mathur said.

William Hurt, who played General "Thunderbolt" Ross in "The Incredible Hulk," has let it be known that he is ready to reprise his role in any sequel that the studio might want to make.
"If they call me, I'll answer," Hurt said Thursday during a round-table interview for his new film, "The Yellow Handkerchief," in L.A. "I would do it."
Of course this came after he had already expressed the frustration and anxiety that are part of doing big-budget tent pole moves.
"It's horrendously difficult," Hurt confessed. "It's awful. It's hard. It's like, why didn't you give me any rehearsal, especially when the budget went up? I get that much more scared when I go to work."
Though it's not saying all that much, "The Incredible Hulk," starring Ed Norton, was a massive improvement over "Hulk," the 2003 Ang Lee-Eric Bana fiasco.
There were multiple reports that Norton was unhappy with the final edit, rumors he denied vociferously. And yet, while the rest of the cast was celebrating the film's premiere, Norton was in Africa helping needy kids. Sure, helping the less fortunate is noble -- but he couldn't've maybe rescheduled?
Anyway, Norton seemed receptive to, if not dying for a "Hulk" sequel.
"I will probably find out after you do," Norton told MTV in November when they asked for a "Hulk" update. "Nothing new."
There's a good chance a new "Incredible Hulk" will happen, if only to position him as the villain of planned "Avengers" epic coming in 2012. "The Avengers" was recently pushed back a year to allow Kenneth Branagh's "Thor" to make its mark.
This is all part of Stan Lee's evil plan to rule the universe.

LeBron James, the NBA two-time champion and four-time most valued player, teamed up with Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet to design a $51,500 limited edition watch.
"I always liked watches growing up. When the opportunity presented itself it was easy to say yes," James told CNBC in Geneva, Switzerland, at the watch factory in late August.
The watch, called the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph, comes with an 18-karat pink gold case, black ceramic and diamond set push pieces, and a hand-stitched gray crocodile strap. Six-hundred of these watches went on sale at the end of September.
(Read more: Rafael Nadal's $690,000 watch is now part of his game)
"Anytime I do anything or have a partnership with anyone that has my name on it, I like to have a lot of personal trace in it," said James, whose signature is printed in blue on the sapphire crystal in the back of the watch.
The Swiss watchmaker has a long history of working with athletes and has had partnerships with everyone from basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal to PGA golfer Keegan Bradley.
"He [LeBron] is truly a unique person," said François-Henry Bennahmias, CEO of Audemars Piguet. "When we met for the first time there was a good connection and we knew that we would do something together."

Editor, the Record:
Editor, the Record:
The Pocono Mountain Business Group and the Pocono Mountain Economic Development Corp. are giddy with the thought of thousands of visitors spending tourist dollars — although probably not in locally owned restaurants, hotels and stores, but in Wisconsin's own Kalahari Resort.
These local economic development corporations should recall that allowing mega-resorts has not met expectations of great tax assistance and well-paying, full-time employment. But, in addition to taking a chance on another local vacation monstrosity set amidst decimated mountains, these developers and the Tobyhanna Township Supervisors are playing with the health of our homes and families.
Please recall the hot, dry summers experienced of late. Streams dwindle to a trickle; water depth in wells becomes alarmingly low. We take our seemingly infinite water for granted. Groundwater can be disturbed by the smallest of projects; most people know someone whose water was dramatically impacted when a new construction was built next door or on the next hill.
The point is, this ominous-sounding "largest water park in North America" (with authentic—looking African d�cor) will seriously affect the water quality and quantity of the folks who live "downstream."
We should prepare for any number of problems from this invasive project. Mountain-top removal, Kalahari-style, will be a great scar on our environment and lives. A well will supply Kalahari's water; the initial 150-acre site will be flattened out, covered by massive hotels, a convention center, clubs, restaurants and massive parking lots.
How ironic and how telling that the Pocono Mountain Economic Development Corp.'s website shows a photo of the Delaware Water Gap with the caption reading "the Nature Conservancy calls the Poconos one of the last great places."

Jhoulys Chacin finishes strong; Instructs, winterball up next
PHOENIX — Jhoulys Chacin was the Rockies' worst starting pitcher in April, his inability to gobble innings undercutting the rotation. He was bad. But it turns out he was also hurt. When he was eventually diagnosed with an irritated nerve in his right pectoral muscle, Chacin began the load road back.
His finish was a bit of redemption. Though the Rockies lost — falling 5-3 to the Diamondbacks on Aaron Hill's walkoff home run at Chase Field — Chacin allowed one run or less for the sixth time in nine starts since returning from the disabled list on Aug. 21.
"I have got the feeling back for all my pitches. And today, I feel like I didn't even pitch. I feel fresh," Chacin said. "That's a good sign."
Chacin will throw a side session Monday in Scottsdale before making two starts in the instructional league on Oct. 10 and Oct. 15. He will then join a winterball team in Venezuela where he plans to pitch six-to-seven games to build up innings lost this year because of the injury.
"I believe I can be the guy I was in the first half of last year," Chacin said. "I just need to stay healthy."
In other news and notes:
–Tyler Chatwood will start in the instructional league Thursday before joining the Rockies' Arizona Fall League team. That club will include catcher Lars Davis and outfielder Kent Matthes, among others.
–Manager Jim Tracy said that he let Guillermo Moscoso hit for himself on Tuesday because the Rockies were shorthanded both on their bench and in the bullpen.
–Aaron Hill's 26th home run was only the Diamondbacks' second walkoff home run of the season.

Bubblicious Cotton Candy
I'm a big bubble gum fan, though not much of a chewer. I'm a purist, I like my bubble gum to be the traditional bubble gum flavor. I saw this Cotton Candy Bubblicious at the beginning of summer, though, and thought it was a splendid idea for a gum flavor.
The pieces are ridiculously blue, the package design is wonderfully summery, and it all smells like an air freshener designed for a child's room.
The lightly strawberry sweet scent is strong enough that I new which room I'd left this package in without even looking. It's not chemically or unappealing, though it doesn't necessarily smell like food.
The pieces were easy to open from the little paper wrappers and soft. The easy chew was very sweet with less of the strawberry or cotton candy notes and more of just a clean sweeteness.
However, as the sugar in the chew dissipated, I was left with the taste of the gum base, which is rather like some door mats I got at Ikea. It's just a touch of asphalt with the berry. The longer I chewed, the more that note came out, until I was pretty sure it was a sign that the whole thing had turned into a big tar ball. Nope, when I took it out of my mouth, it was just a piece of blue gum.
So, if you're looking for some room freshener that looks like blocks of sidewalk chalk that you're not going to chew, these are great. But even for the type of person who chews the gum until the sugar is gone, the awful aftertaste is too much.

Glee Lemon-Lime and Spearmint
I was traveling earlier this week. I went to San Francisco to the Fancy Food Show. Though I drove, I still carried some gums with me, as driving over a few of the passes make my ears pop and the drive can be monotonous.
Glee Gum is made with natural chicle and natural colorings, quite rare on the market these days.
The chew is soft, the candy shell has a crispness that doesn't last long. It's not a thick shell that makes little crunchies in the gum, it dissolves quickly. The flavor is sweet with a mild but indistinct citrus note to it. It's kind of like a lemon chamomile tea. The sweetness fades quickly, though it is rather cool on the tongue for a while, as most xylitol candies and gums are. The zest continues, and gets a little more intense after about 4 or 5 minutes ... then I think the gum is done as far as the flavor goes. The chew is still good, in fact, I prefer the chew of the sugarless Glee to the sugared kind ... it's slightly stiffer and doesn't stick as much.
After chewing the gum, about a half an hour later, I thought my mouth was still rather fresh feeling. Not a lingering mint, but just a sort of jasmine tea freshness. The citrus doesn't go well with coffee, but for getting rid of coffee breath, it's pretty good. Xylitol, as a sweetener, is actually good for dental health, so I'm trying to get into the habit of chewing in the afternoon to freshen up my mouth.
Spearmint is a largely underutilized flavor in the confectionery world. Peppermint is the default, though as herbs go, spearmint is far more ubiquitous and easier to grow. The dark green pieces are naturally colored and quite appealing. They don't smell like much, it's not like sticking your nose in a half-emptied packet of Wrigley's Spearmint gum, which always smelled so fresh.
The shell on the sugary variety is a little crunchier, though not by much. The flavor of the spearmint is mild and pleasant, but not overt like an Altoid. The chew is soft, though it stiffens up and gets a little bit sticky at times as the minutes pass. I was able to manage some moderate bubbles at time, though I was much better at cracking my gum with this version.
The sugar faded away within minutes, though the herbal and grassy spearmint notes hung around for quite a while after. After discarding the gum, the minty freshness dissipated within about 5 minutes.
When I first tried Glee Gum years ago, I didn't care much for it. It's certainly grown on me and it's become my go-to gum for traveling. Partly because of the natural ingredients and partly because I like the chiclet style and simplicity of the boxes.

Dubble Bubble Snow Balls
Christmas candy is mostly about peppermint and chocolate and shiny colored foil wrapping. Holiday gum is rather unusual, so I was pleased to see Concord Confections part of the Tootsie Roll company has a variety for winter: Dubble Bubble Snow Balls.
I enjoy novelty gums for the same reason I enjoy other candy coated morsels: they're fun to look at before eating. The Snow Balls are extremely cute. Each is the size of a garbanzo bean and rattle around easily in the theater size box. What I also liked about this particular gum was that they were white ... there was no artificial coloring (though there is titanium dioxide as a whitener), so I didn't have to worry about anything getting into the flavor except what they intended as the flavor. The gum is made with sugar and corn syrup with no artificial sweeteners.
The pieces are beautiful. They're rough and white and though spherical, they don't roll around. The bite was wonderfully soft and easy to chew, but the flavor is ... well, it's kind of like fabric softener at first. It's floral - somewhere in the neighborhood of violet and maybe musk. After chewing (two pieces seemed like a good portion), the crunchy shell and gum base were very soft. However, within a minute, the sugar dissipated to the point that the gum was getting quite stiff ... another two minutes and it was an unchewable lump that was less appealing than a wad of paper. My style is to switch out at that point anyway, so I just spit out the first piece and repeat.
Now, since this was bubble gum, I should comment on those qualities. It works. The bubbles can't get that big, as the gum base is too stiff and unforgiving. But it's not particularly sticky, which is a plus. But it's most definitely not bubble gum flavored, and any children you give this to might be turned off by the soapy notes.
After chewing, even a half hour later, I did notice a lingering floral taste in my mouth, rather like jasmine tea.
Dubble Bubble is peanut free and gluten free ... and in this instance is also free from dyes but may contain traces of soy. The gumballs are made in Canada.

Simply Gum: Fennel Licorice
I feel like there is a perfect gum out there for me, I just haven't found it yet. So when I saw Simply Gum at the checkout at Lolli & Pops one afternoon, I bought it on impulse just because of the name of the flavor: Fennel Licorice.
Upon further reading I saw that there was more going on here than just the unusual flavor and enticing package. Simply Gum is made with real chicle instead of synthetic gum base along with organic sugar and glycerine.
The packaging is spare and thoughtful. Inside the flip top, there's a little sleeve that holds "post chew wraps", so even thought the pieces don't come in little papers, there are papers to responsibly dispose of your gum when you're through.
Though the box is square and the nuggets inside fill the package, after I dumped them out for photographing, I found that there was a spacer bit at the bottom. As if they'd either originally specified more gum in the box but later decided for less but didn't want to change the package, or it's just intended to mislead the consumer. The box only says 12 pieces (there were actually 18 in my box but they're not consistently sized), but never says how big each piece is, the weight I came up with in the stats box is from weighing the pieces.
The nuggets are just that, a rope of the brown-sugar hued gum is snipped into pieces. They're a little smaller than a regular portion of gum, but not by half. When I chewed it, I wanted maybe 1.5 times as much.
The pieces don't stick together, they have a little rice powder on them (kind of like a corn starch). They smell like fennel, just like sticking your nose in a bottle of fennel seed. The chew releases the sweetness quickly, and instead of becoming more firm, like most gums do, this became thinner. It was too thin really. It's like riding a bike in the wrong gear, my jaw is going too fast for this gum. I'm just spinning and the gum is squishing around.
Aside from the texture, I love the flavor. It was earthy and substantial. The licorice flavors weren't overly sweet or metallic. The mineral notes weren't rusty. Instead it tasted rather of beets. I felt like it freshened my mouth, yet still went well with coffee or tea. The flavor lasted quite long and though the sugar was gone, fennel and licorice have a natural sweetness that lingers. But the gum base was just too squishy.
So, if you've been looking for an all natural gum that chews better with a glass of iced tea than hot tea ... well, this is your gum. I might try another flavor, like Maple, just in case the particular batch I got was anomalous. However, it's pretty expensive, at $3.50 a box.

Eat with your Eyes: Fruity Gumballs
I'm always attracted to these beautifully crafted gumballs at the mall in the vending machines. I finally broke down and bought some, just because they're so pretty. I'm not going to review them because, well, they weren't good enough to even warrant 300 words.

PUR Sugarless Gum - Coolmint & Cinnamon
I'm a bit of a picky chewer, when it comes to gum. Part of it may be that I'm just such a minority in my tastes that it's not profitable to make the kind of gum I might like.
I mostly chew gum made with sugar, not because I necessarily want sugar in my gum, but because it's so hard to find sugar free gum that's not made with artificial sweeteners like aspartame (NutraSweet), sucralose (Splenda), acesulfame potassium (AceK) and saccharine. It's very rare to find a gum like the PUR line that is sugarless but also made only with xylitol, which is a sugar alcohol. Xylitol has been around for years and is often used in sugar free mints and gums, though usually in combination with artificial sweeteners. It has a light ans sweet note to it, but like most sugar alcohols, it also has an odd cooling effect on the tongue (which is usually a desirable feature for mints).
The PUR Gum is is gluten free, nut free, dairy free, vegan and free of GMO ingredients. I've tried the other flavors that were introduced when the gum line launched about three years ago: Peppermint, Spearmint and Pomegranate Mint. I liked them quite a bit, though they're not easy to find.
The pieces are simple chiclets, rounded rectangular pieces, a little rustic and uneven, measuring about 3/4 of an inch long and about 1/3 of an inch wide. A serving, for me, is two pieces. (With actual Chiclets it's usually 3 pieces at a time.)
The chew is very soft at first, with a very cool note on top and a strong sweetness before the other flavors kick in. The sweetness is not the same as sugar, it's less round, cool on the tongue and rather slippery.
The flavor is very odd. At first it was a bit on the wintergreen side, which some people find medicinal ... or repulsive. There are other notes to it, a little hint of eucalyptus and then another more balsam note, it reminded me of mastic, which is a resin that's also used a chewing gum in the Mediterranean. (If you've never had mastic, it's also similar in its flavor profile to tea tree oil, which is not meant to be eaten but is found in many natural personal care products.)
The wintergreen notes dissolve away and all that seemed to be left was that sort of resin note with a hint of something like jasmine tea. It's pleasant, at least for me and did definitely freshen my mouth after eating some curry for lunch.
Cinnamon is predictable and comforting. It's woodsy and a little on the clove side of spicy, but has a wonderful warming hotness to it. The intense and rounded flavors dissipate pretty quickly, but the lingering flavor is just sweet and with the lightest tough of cinnamon.
There's no weird bitter note, either, which I think is often caused by artificial colors. There are no colors here, so it's all about the gum flavor. The xylitol sweetness lasts for a while, I'd say the pieces are satisfying for about 15 minutes. After I tossed the gum, I still had that lingering warmth of the cinnamon for at least a half an hour. It definitely cut through coffee breath.
I'd probably still stick with the Peppermint (from the original review) for a gum to keep in my desk, but for travel, I think I would go with the Coolmint because I really felt like chewing the pieces longer than the other flavors. It's a little expensive and the packaging takes up a lot of space for such a small amount of gum. (I might like it if the blister pack was scored so I could just tear off a few of them to keep them in my little case that I take on airplanes.)
The gum is not easy to find, and not cheap. I've seen it at natural food stores and grocers, such as Sprouts and Erewhon.

Oak Leaf Refresh Triple Mint Chewing Gum
I don't chew gum often, but when I do, I chew it a lot. It's particularly hard to find gum that's still sweetened with only sugar and not artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucarlose. I enjoy gum as a candy, which means that I chew all the sugar out of it and before the flavor has much chance to fade, I swap that piece out for a fresh one. (It's probably a style of consumption that gum companies should welcome.)
I love chiclet style gum because primarily because it's attractive, but also because it has texture to it; the crunchy shell has its own flavor and goes with the pleasing experience of chewing until the sugar is depleted. I can line up the pieces like Skittles or M&Ms on my keyboard. I got a huge sample bag of Oakleaf Refresh Triple Mint Chewing Gum from SweetWorks late last year and have been making my way through the bag. This is the kind of gum you'd find in a quarter twist vending machine, a little handful of pieces for some of the change in your pocket.
Wintergreen - these white pieces have little speckles of blue on them, some of the time. The flavor is clean and soft, with a good note of wintergreen. It's not overpowering, but definitely strong enough that others nearby may think you've been rubbing lineament into your joints. There's a little numbing tingle towards the end, as wintergreen can have that sort of effect. The flavor lasted longer than the sugar, but did taste a lot more medicinal after the sugar was gone.
Peppermint - is a nice medium blue. I don't really need this much food coloring in my gum, as the point of minty gums is to act as a bit of a digestive but mostly to freshen my breath. don't want my tongue looking blue when I'm done with it. It's fresh, it's not terribly strong but very sweet. I found it comforting but not challenging.
Spearmint is a pretty rare flavor in gum these days, so it's nice to see it here. It's green, for some reason spearmint is green and peppermint is blue (or red and white). The flavor is good, it's peppery at first and quite strong, but mellows out after chewing and mixing with the sugar.
Of the three flavors, I preferred the wintergreen, but I'm usually mindful of not smelling like wintergreen in social situations or closed spaces. So the spearmint was my go-to flavor of the variety, especially since I can get peppermint chiclets in the form of actual Chiclets that don't have blue food coloring. But since I already have these, they're being consumed.
I did find that they stuck to one filling in my teeth (just that one old amalgam, even though I have other fillings). It's hard to rationalize the large amount I have, but it works for my consumption style. It would be nice if they came in boxes like Chiclets or perhaps a tin like Altoids. The company that owns Oak Leaf, SweetWorks was recently purchased by the Swiss company called Frey which makes chocolate but also has their own line of gums, so maybe they'll start doing some more gum packaging.

Suns Sign Dionte Christmas
Posted: September 13, 2013
The Phoenix Suns today signed guard Dionte Christmas, who averaged 10.1 points for the Suns' Las Vegas Summer League entry this summer.
"We're excited to add Dionte to our roster," said Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough. "He was a key contributor for our Las Vegas Summer League team and his scoring ability, leadership and toughness will help us this season."
Christmas, a 6-5, 205-pound guard, joins the Suns after spending the last four seasons playing internationally in some of the top leagues around the world after going undrafted in the 2009 NBA Draft. Christmas has gained professional experience in Israel (Hapoel Afula), Turkey (Mersin), Czech Republic (Nymburk), Greece (PAOK, Rethymno), Russia (CSKA Moscow) and Italy (Montepaschi Siena). In 2011-12, with Rethymno of the Greece A-1 League, Christmas averaged 18.6 points to lead the league in scoring.
Christmas, a member of the Suns' 2013 Las Vegas Summer League squad, averaged 10.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 20.8 minutes while coming off the bench in all seven contests. He shot 46.3 percent from the field in Summer League play and had four games scoring in double figures, including three with at least 15 points.
A four-year standout at Temple University, Christmas averaged 15.7 points and 4.4 rebounds in 130 career games (98 starts), and posted at least 19.5 points per game in each of his final three seasons with the Owls. He was named All-Atlantic 10 First Team in both 2008 and 2009, and also earned Atlantic 10 Tournament Most Outstanding Player honors in 2008 and 2009 as he led the Owls to consecutive conference tournament titles.
The Suns' roster now stands at 17.

Investment Tip of the Day
The best way to understand what annuities are is to imagine yourself late into your retirement years; a time in your life when you are very much dependent on retirement income (e.g. an RRIF account). However many types of retirement accounts are limited to the amount of money held in them. In most cases proportionate amounts of this balance is paid out to the retiree over the course of many years during their retirement. However, there is a problem. When the balance held in such accounts run out then you are stuck with no more retirement income.
Fortunately many people have realized this unfortunate reality that the life insurance industry devised a clever solution that helps insure against this potential risk.
Think of annuities as life insurance in reverse. What I mean is, we all know that life insurance pays the insured when dead, but in the case of annuities, payments are made to the living. So, depending on the underlying agreement, there is a contractual obligation for one side to make continuous and consistent payments to another until an event occurs, such as death.
So annuities are retirement investments that are sold by banks and set up in a way to accept and build funds (through premiums) by individuals who then receive payments at a later point in time for a fixed period or for the rest of their lives. Annuities solve the problem of a person outliving their own income stream.
If the annuitant dies before receiving all payments (through a fixed-term contract) then what remains will be paid to their beneficiary. An interesting fact about life annuities is that male annuitants will receive a slightly high regular periodic payment than their female counterparts. The reason is because mortalities studies consistently show that females on average live longer than males, and so it makes more sense to keep payments slightly higher for men since they may not live as long; while for females because they are more likely to live longer they would need to have a steady income lasting much longer.
Did we mention annuities also provide favorable taxations too? Annuities are taxed more leniently than non-registered fixed-income products.
If you haven't heard about annuities until now then it might be time to explore it further and help secure your retirement years to the best of times.
