BOYS BASKETBALL: St. Marys hangs with state-ranked Defiance, but falls, 77-71

The Roughriders got into a shootout with the unbeaten Bulldogs and stayed with them almost shot-for-shot, hitting 10 three-pointers.

St. Marys' Garet Fledderjohann hit four 3-pointers and scored 17 points. Austin James' three treys gave him nine points and Dustin Fisher also had nine.
St. Marys reached the 70-point barrier for the third time this season. The Riders won the other two games. It's the first time St. Marys had scored 70 points in a game and lost since losing to Wapakoneta 80-77 in January of 2008.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (Mar. 4, 2005) - The East Tennessee State women's tennis team continues its winning streak with a 4-3 victory against the College of Charleston on Friday afternoon at Patriot's Point. The Buccaneers remain perfect in SoCon action picking up their third win and are 9-2 overall, while the Cougars fall to 0-1 in the SoCon and 3-3 overall.

"College of Charleston was picked second in the SoCon and they are that good. Both teams played hard and in the end we came out ahead, " stated head coach Steve Brooks. "We are very appreciative of the men's team coming out to our game and we wouldn't have won without them cheering us on."
The Bucs will now enjoy a brief rest before returning to the road as they travel to Florida to face Stetson on Tuesday, March 8 at 10:00 a.m. in Deland, Fla. followed by a stop in Jacksonville Fla. on March to pair up against Jacksonville.

Rats, like humans, can deduce an impressive amount of information about their physical surroundings with their sense of touch. Humans do this most effectively with their hands and fingertips, while a rat experiences a significant portion of its tactile sensation via its whiskers. What's intriguing about this parallel is that whiskers and hands are not only similar on a functional level, but a neurological one, as well.
"Rats are a really wonderful model system to try to understand sensory perception, and specifically the sense of touch," explains neurobiologist and biological engineer Mitra Hartmann. "Even though whiskers and hands might seem to be very different, the pathways that carry the information from the whiskers to the rats brain and from the hand to the human brain are actually very similar."
The latest installment of Science Bytes — a new series produced by Kikim Media in partnership with PBS and PLoS, featured below — explores how Hartmann and other scientists are using a physical, 3-D model of rat whiskers to understand how they relay information about tactile sensation to the brain.

NEW YORK, March 8, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against Keryx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Keryx" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:KERX) and certain of its officers. The class action filed in United States District Court, Southern District of New York, and docketed under 13-CV-1307, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of Keryx between June 1, 2009 and April 1, 2012, both dates inclusive of (the "Class Period"). This class action seeks to recover damages against the Company and certain of its officers and directors as a result of alleged violations of the federal securities laws pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
If you are a shareholder who purchased Keryx securities during the Class Period, you have until April 2, 2013 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at email@example.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll free, x237. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address and telephone number.
Keryx is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the timing and success of Keryx's clinical trial that tested whether perifosine was effective in treating late stage colorectal cancer, and the likelihood that perifosine would be approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
On April 2, 2012, the Company disclosed that the Phase 3, X-PECT clinical trial evaluating perifosine "in patients with refractory advanced colorectal cancer did not meet the primary endpoint of improving overall survival versus capecitabine + placebo."
On this news, Keryx shares declined $3.24 per share or 65%, to close at $1.74 per share on April 2, 2012. As a result of defendants' wrongful acts and omissions, and the precipitous decline in the market value of the Company's securities, Plaintiff and other Class members have suffered significant losses and damages.
The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, and San Diego, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 70 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.

As expected, the Mets activated Billy Wagner from the 60-day disabled list this afternoon. Not so expected, that in order to make room they released Livan Hernandez.
Wagner made remarkable progress from Tommy John surgery on his left elbow, but don't expect to see much of him at Citi Field. He'll get a few showcase appearances and then the Mets will attempt to make a waiver deal.
Wagner has a no-trade clause but would waive it in order to go to a contender. He says he could live for being a set-up man for the rest of this season but wants to be a closer next year. The Chicago Cubs, for one, need a closer.
I've always liked Wagner, especially for his outspoken nature. He's always been a stand-up guy as knows the pulse of the clubhouse.
As for Hernandez, he started at 5-1 and then hit a wall. He was 7-8 with a 5.47 ERA, but had a 7.33 ERA in July and an 11.30 ERA in August.
There are contenders who need innings, and Hernandez pitched well enough to where some team will take a look.

As telephone deregulation accelerates, AT&T has pledged to offer local service in 15 markets by yearend. Those markets will represent about 55% of AT&T's long-distance revenue base.
So far, AT&T has begun offering local service in Sacramento, Calif., and Connecticut. It is in the process of expanding into Chicago and Grand Rapids, Mich.
Executives close to AT&T had speculated the company might turn to regional agencies to handle the retail-oriented local service advertising in specific markets. Once it decided to name a single agency, AT&T gave the nod to McCann one of its three roster shops.
"McCann was the right agency for this assignment," an AT&T spokesman said. He emphasized that McCann's work "will look and feel like the one message" that all AT&T advertising will now aim to communicate.
Earlier this month, AT&T rolled out a new brand-image campaign from Y&R Advertising, New York, tagged "It's all within your reach." At the same time, it restructured management to unify its voluminous marketing efforts.
An executive close to AT&T said McCann made sense for the local assignment in that context because it handles AT&T Wireless Services, which relies heavily on local marketing. That account is worth $50 million or more. McCann also handles all of AT&T's business-to-business advertising.
AT&T's $1 billion ad budget and hundreds of different products and services make it hard to keep track of agency billings, but Foote, Cone & Belding, New York, is generally considered the company's lead agency. It handles most consumer-

A major firearms manufacturer is interested in purchasing the long-dormant Pike County Business Park in Blooming Grove Township. Attorney John Stieh, representing Kahr Firearms Group, of Pearl River, NY, came before the Supervisors Monday night June 17th.
The number of jobs and revenue this is expected to generate in the region is expected to be "sigificant," according to company officials.
A major firearms manufacturer is interested in purchasing the long-dormant Pike County Business Park in Blooming Grove Township. Attorney John Stieh, representing Kahr Firearms Group, of Pearl River, NY, came before the Supervisors Monday night June 17th.
The number of jobs and revenue this is expected to generate in the region is expected to be "sigificant," according to company officials.
Kahr's plans include buying all 620 acres of the business park on Well Road (State Route 434), from the Pike County Industrial Park Development Group/ Business Development Corporation. Their first step in what is expected to be multiple phases is to begin site preparation and office construction as soon as late in 2013. Company corporate offices and the research and development department would then be relocated here.
In the second phase, manufacturing operations would be expanded and brought to the Pike County site to meet the increasing demand for Kahr firearms.
The Kahr Group of manufacturing plants, operating at full capacity, will continue production in their current locations. Kahr produces major lines of firearms, including Kahr Arms, Thompson, Auto-Ordnance and Magnum Research products.
Twenty to 30 jobs are expected in the first phase, Stieh said. The number of potential jobs the manufacturing phase could bring to Pike County has not been released.
Of the 620 acres, only 21 lots were available for development. Of these, Kahr is intending to make use of eight lots that had previously received approval by the Township for building. Most of the acreage would be left undeveloped for the foreseeable future, Stieh said.
A map of the business park shows eight contiguous parcels that are marked as ready for development, totaling 102.94 acres.
Initially, the company expects to construct building space totaling 40,000 square feet.
Hearing held
The Supervisors held a hearing June 17 to review covenants and restrictions in place on the land and to request amendments. Most of the requests were approved in favor of the potential buyer.
At the hearing, the Supervisors agreed to lifting restriction on retail sales. Stieh said his client may wish to open an outlet store there at some point. Other restrictions were lifted, including allowance of mini-storage and food services.
The current 150-foot setback will be maintained.
Stieh said the next step will be to submit a conditional use application. That is expected to go before the Township Planning Commission in July.
The Pike County Business Park, which was created in 1997, has never been developed.
A tertiary (sewer) treatment plant serves the park.
Favorable business climate
His client, he said, was attracted to Pike County for two reasons. One is the available of the business park and the cost to find good land of that size. The second reason is the favorable business climate found in Pike County.
Last month, Blooming Grove Township Supervisors adopted a temporary tax abatement program aimed at encouraging business development. Known as Local Economic Revitalization Assistance (LERTA), the state-approved program requires the municipality to first adopt it. The local school board and county may then follow suit and approve similar tax relief. The graduated tax abatement is on new construction and is limited to five years.
Stieh said that the program proved fortuitous for Kahr Firearms Group, and his client planned to take advantage of it. Kahr had already been in discussion about the purchase since late February or early March 2013.
Pete Helms, president of Davis R. Chant Realtors, is the broker. The closing has not yet been held.
A statement issued by the company adds, "We are grateful for the warm welcome and the business opportunity extended by the Pike County Industrial Park Development Group/ Business Development Corporation to expand our company and relocate its headquarters office," stated VP of Marketing, Frank Harris.
"The Pennsylvania group has demonstrated tremendous support of our operations and Kahr looks to move forward with the project without delay. It's good for our business and also for other businesses in the area as build a long-term mutually beneficial relationship with the community. We anticipate generating significant numbers of revenue and jobs for the local Northeastern Pennsylvania
economy with the construction of facilities, expansion of manufacturing, and need for local vendors."
Handgun manufacturer
Kahr Arms manufactures a variety of semi-automatic pistols and accessories.
Kahr Arms was founded on fifteen years of manufacturing service in precision metalworking industries. A stated on their web site, Kahr's parent company, established in 1981, has been a leading supplier of computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools and applications engineering.
In 1986, the company expanded by forming a manufacturing division which provides quality contract machining, manufacturing and assembly services for diverse industries, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical equipment, scientific instrumentation and telecommunications. This division offers in-house engineering and precision tooling services, as well as, secondary operations that complement the machining and manufacturing capabilities.
Kahr's corporate headquarters are located in Blauvelt, New York. Production and assembly operations are located in Worcester, Massachusetts, in the region commonly known as "Gun Valley."
A June 4th press release mentions their plans in the near future to expand their manufacturing operations outside of New York, Massachusetts and Minnesota.
A message has been left for Kathy Hummel, Chairperson of the Pike County Economic Development Authority (EDA) for comment concerning the proposed purchase. The EDA markets the business park on their web site, www.edapikepa.org. The EDA lists the market price at $20,000 an acre for the Pike County Business Park.

"Mommy, when I a big girl, I have a baby in my tummy too!"
"Ummm, well, first you need a Daddy. Then you can be a Mommy."
"Jackson can be the Daddy!"
These are the kinds of conversations I'm having with my [SNIFF!] three-year-old these days. Three! Today! I can't believe it. I mean, I CAN, it is, after all, what happens. But still. I did not want this baby to grow up. Every month I told myself, "This. This is the best month." Or I would say, "I will WEEP when she is no longer a baby. She can't possibly be any cuter or sweeter when she gets bigger. WOE." And here I am today, looking at my THREE-YEAR-OLD and wishing time would stand still because seriously, Just Turned Three has got to be the best thing ever.
"What that, Mommy?"
"This is eyeshadow."
"Mommy, I put that on my eyes too?"
"No, this is just for Mommies."
"When I a big girl, I be a Mommy. Then I put that on my eyes too."
I wanted a girl so bad you guys. I know that's not the proper thing to admit in a public forum but I SO wanted a baby girl. And then I got one and I was over the moon. I remember staring at her and disbelieving my awesome luck, because I didn't just get a girl, I got THIS girl. She was sweet, so sweet, and cuddly and lovey. It was like she owned my lap. She'd just climb in and do her thing - puzzles, TV show, books, snack, whatever. There's no personal space when it comes to Molly and me. I'll lay down with her sometimes when we put her to bed and she'll rub my arm, play with my hair, or just smile at me. I am SUCH a sucker for the only-for-Mommy smiles.
"Not those shoes, Mommy. Those are not cute."
"But I like these."
"No, wear these. These are cute."
"Molly, I am not wearing four-inch heels to the playground."
"But I LIKE these."
She loves dolls and purses and play makeup and play jewelry and pretty much anything pink and girly and sparkly and branded with princesses, as much as I try to steer clear of those things. I was not that kind of kid. My dolls sat gathering dust on a shelf in my room while I ripped through stacks and stacks of paper and buckets of crayons and markers. I think I was much more like my son, and whenever I recount a Jack conversation with my mom she'll say, "you said the SAME THINGS." So sometimes I look at Molly and all at once she is familiar and foreign. A girl, like me, but a frillier, pinker, rufflier one.
"Mommy, I want to feel your baby."
"Okay. Did you feel that?"
"Mommy, I like your baby. She's going to sleep in my bed. And wear my clothes from when I was in your tummy."
"That's right! You're going to be a good helper."
"When I a big girl I have a baby in MY tummy!"
We are, understandably, COMPLETELY TERRIFIED of how new baby is going to affect Molly. She's not just our current baby, she's... well, she STILL thinks she owns my lap. I think she's going to love being the big sister helper, but only as far as the baby stays in her own place and doesn't take too much of my time. So we all know how long that will last. But she's three now and she's a big girl. You want to be a big girl, Molly? Then find me a diaper, talk to your sister so I can use the bathroom, put the silverware away while I unload the dishwasher, pat the baby when she's crying and I'm holding her - I bet you can even hold her bottle!
She starts preschool in two weeks. She no longer says my favorite word: stah-ba-weddy. She can work my iPhone and use a mouse. She wants me to paint her nails. She's opinionated about her clothes. She's eaten more vegetables by age three than I'd eaten by age 25. She likes Blue's Clues and Barney and puzzles and baby dolls and mushrooms and her grandmothers and she totally sings along to that song about the pumped up kicks. She's SUCH a big girl now, but I keep telling her, she is always going to be my baby.

Jarrod Wilson Offered
Jarrod Wilson is a 6"2, 190-lb Safety prospect from Akron, Ohio. Hoke and his staff have been busy offering prospects, and Wilson was offered today.
At this point Michigan does not have a true free safety on their roster. Tamani Carter is slotted to play there, and Troy Woofolk could play there as well, but Wilson would be a perfect fit at free safety. He is the definition of a center-fielder, and he's got great ball skills. Plus, he's 6"2, and will be able to play at 200 pounds in college. Win.
Illinois, Indiana, Toledo, and Michigan State have offered. Marc Givler, who scouts Ohio for Rivals, said Wilson is likely a top 20-25 player in Ohio, and a great offer. I'll try to talk to Jarrod soon, but this offer was big.

The Free Being
You will never be—never—be the same as you were. You can't be the same as you were, because you are now an experienced you. Oh yes, you can be as strong as you ever were, but I don't think you could ever be that stupid again. —L. Ron Hubbard
An epic history, an incomparable adventure—such is a lecture that hardly needs an introduction, for L. Ron Hubbard's legendary account of how beings became entrapped is our story.
Here is the extraordinary truth about the long war between thetans and meat-body societies—a war in which unlimited force proved no match for guile and treachery. Fought across the eons and throughout the galaxies, it featured theta traps, space wagons, planet-busting and all manner of space opera. But above all, here is the saga of the free being—the mistakes he made, why he made them and how they led to his final defeat. And although this monumental whole track drama is now over, its repercussions continue to shape the career of Earth.
From here on, the universe will change, for a new cycle of freedom has begun. Thetans, after a long, long decline, can finally recover all their power and abilities. But a single question remains: how to avoid the mistakes of past ages, thus preventing entrapment in future ages and so continuing powerful and free?
Here, then, is the answer. This time, OTs will stay OT not just for a few trillennia, but triumphantly forever.

This article is part of our Rising StarsPortfolios series.
The market's been singing some Pink Floyd lately -- specifically, "We don't need no education!" It's music to my ears.
Everyone and their alma mater hates for-profit universities. An index of the sector is down 46% from its April highs, as investors seem to be bracing for sweeping reforms and draconian regulations, whether from Congress or the Department of Education.
At the same time, think about these numbers:
- Unemployment among bachelor's-degree holders: 5.1%
- Unemployment among high-school graduates: 10%
- Unemployment among those without high school diplomas: 15.7%
Roughly 67% of the U.S. population above the age of 25 -- 88 million people! -- lacks a college education. President Obama has set the ambitious goal for the United States to reclaim its status as first in the world in college attainment; we currently rank 12th, and estimates find us 13 million-16 million graduates short. To meet our goals, we're gonna need a bigger classroom.
Given such opportunities, I'd rather be opening up the Louis-Charles University. (It has a nice ring to it, eh?) However, I estimate that my Rising Star kitty of $17,000 leaves me a bit short of getting my name emblazoned on a college library anytime soon. So for now, I'll settle for a 7% position (roughly $1,200) in a relatively young upstart, Bridgepoint Education
Why this one? Bridgepoint is an extremely profitable operation run by seasoned industry veterans, offering investors a ton of GULP -- growth at an unreasonably low price. But even though Bridgepoint offers one of the most attractive reward-to-risk investments in the space, it was still difficult to pick only one winner. So don't be surprised, especially if the sector stays beaten-up, to find me adding a few more educational names to my eponymously named ALOHA portfolio.
Say ALOHA to our little for-profit friend
Since I hear mnemonics are popular with studious college kids these days, I thought it apropos to roll out my ALOHA checklist on this pick. ALOHA is an acronym I use to remind me of the five key questions I ask of all my investments. Let's put Bridgepoint to the test:
Asymmetric: Are we being appropriately compensated for the risk we are taking?
Bridgepoint currently trades for 2.74 EV/EBITDA; it has no debt and 28% of its value in cash; and it's still growing by leaps and bounds. I've estimated an intrinsic value range for Bridgepoint of $45-$60 per share. Even if the company suddenly stopped growing, I still estimate the value of the shares at $24. To reach Bridgepoint's recent 52 week lows, you have to believe that its free cash flow will be roughly cut in half. Even using this dire scenario as my low estimate, and $45 as my high estimate, I arrive at a reward-to-risk ratio of 10-to-1.
Leveraged: Is there a natural edge or strategic advantage embedded in this investment?
In five years, Bridgepoint has grown from approximately 322 students to 77,179, while expanding gross margins from 31% to 74%. The online education model is highly scalable, and upon reaching critical mass, it's ridiculously profitable. Add in Bridgepoint's strategy to accept high levels of transfer credits (it's the only private-sector institution to accept up to 99 approved credits), partner with community colleges, and pursue growth though military and corporate channels, and you have a company with seemingly limitless potential.
Opportunity: What's the opportunity, why does it exist, and can we capitalize on it?
While a rising tide in for-profit education industry has lifted all boats for the better part of a decade, it also meant that both yachts and dinghies profited alike. Now that the tide is coming in, we're about to see which universities are truly seaworthy. I believe that Bridgepoint isn't simply fit to sail -- I think it's a speedboat with miles of calm ocean ahead.
Bridgepoint's repayment rates and graduation rates not only appear to comply with potential Department of Education requirements, but also consistently rank at or above those of more established for-profit universities. Additionally, with Warburg Pincus -- a very successful private equity firm -- as its largest shareholder, I see Bridgepoint potentially picking up some attractive pieces if and when its competitors implode.
Has a catatlyst: What crucial tipping point will affect this stock, and how soon?
The biggest catalyst for Bridgepoint is regulatory clarity. The Department of Education is expected to publish its final regulations early in 2011. The new regulations were originally expected to be published in early November, but the department is taking more time to "consider comments [they] received". The for-profit lobby is out in full force, and I expect that the initially proposed regulations will be somewhat tempered.
While the effects of these regulations will not kick in for six-12 months, the smarter institutions have already begun to adjust their operations. I believe it will be clear how the new regulations affect Bridgepoint's growth potential within three to four quarters.
Allocation: How big a position does this investment warrant?
Besides the cash and two campuses, Bridgepoint's value lies in its brand and earning power. Regulations could hurt its ability to grow enrollment, and headline risk jeopardizes the entire segment's reputation. However, if Bridgepoint is able to absorb the regulatory changes, and the media's appetite for this storyline fades, I expect this investment to be a two-to-three-year multibagger.
The Foolish bottom line
Rarely, if ever, will you find a debt-free company with 30% operating margins, growing revenue at 50%, which sells for less than eight times trailing earnings. Bridgepoint Education is one of those rare opportunities and I look forward to its matriculation in my Rising Stars real-money portfolio.

i would be interested in porting blender to my gp32...
it has got a 32bit arm processor, 133 mhz at maximum, 8 mb ram,
it has got the possibility to use smcs as storage medium (128 mb
at maximum, 3.3v), lcd display (tft) with a 320x240 resolution, 65536 colors.
i think this device could have the possibility to run blender, and it would not be too hard to handle the inputs, since the console has got 6 buttons + 8 directions (for the pad).
i don't know how hard could be to do this, and by now i don't have the
needed knowledge (to understand all of the blender code, or to code
in the right way for the gp32) to this. but i hope to acquire those knowledges asap
i don't know if this porting could be usefull also for the game boy advance,
but i think that 256kb of memory would not be enough (nor the 18 mhz processor).
the gp32 IS a portable gaming console, but IS also a good development platform, either for its possibilities, and for the fact that is easy to do it (all you need is a smart media card, cause the gp32 can link to the pc trough the usb port, and you can transfer files directly this way)
anyone interested, eventually? (a portable blender )
if you need informations about the gp32, i have some links...
(ps: if you are interested in buying it, lik-sang.com sells it for 159 usd, but i think that soon [december?] it will be available in europe [no importing] for 99 usd)

Bullpen erupts after Zimmermann's strong start
MIAMI -- The Nationals had arguably their worst loss of the season Monday night. A day after saving his 200th career game, Rafael Soriano blew his fourth of the season as the Marlins edged the Nationals, 7-6, at Marlins Park.
The Nationals had a 6-3 lead going into the ninth inning, but Soriano, looking for his 26th save of the season, had nothing in the tank. Every pitch he threw was up in the zone.View Full Game Coverage
MIAMI -- The Nationals had arguably their worst loss of the season Monday night. A day after saving his 200th career game, Rafael Soriano blew his fourth of the season as the Marlins edged the Nationals, 7-6, at Marlins Park.
The Nationals had a 6-3 lead going into the ninth inning, but Soriano, looking for his 26th save of the season, had nothing in the tank. Every pitch he threw was up in the zone.View Full Game Coverage
After Casey McGehee walked and Garrett Jones doubled to put runners on second and third, Marcell Ozuna singled to center field, scoring McGehee. Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a sacrifice fly to right fielder Nate McLouth to send home Jones and make it a one-run game. Adeiny Hechavarria was next and tripled to right-center field, sending Ozuna home.
"We feel like collectively as a group we're going to make that closer earn it," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "We've been able to pull together and put some pressure on some really good closers. That's, I think, the makeup of this team. Like, hey, we're going to keep fighting down to the last out, and you may get us but we're going to battle you and we might get you, too."
Soriano was clearly upset after the game. He didn't have any excuses as to why he prevented Jordan Zimmermann from winning his seventh game of the season. Soriano said everything he threw -- two-seam fastball, cutter and slider -- didn't work.
"It was a bad day for me. I felt sorry for Jordan because I think he pitched a great game and he was supposed to win that game," Soriano said. "I didn't have the good command that I had before. Bad day for me and my team."
After Donovan Solano was hit by a pitch, manager Matt Williams took out Soriano in favor of left-hander Jerry Blevins. Christian Yelich struck out, but Jeff Baker doubled over Bryce Harper's head in left field, scoring Hechavarria to end the game.
Tyler Clippard, arguably Washington's best reliever, was unavailable. He had been overused of late.
"We had it set up for Jerry to come in there," Williams said. "We don't want to leave [Soriano] out there for too many because we lose him for days in a row. The game had been already tied, so we went to Jerry."
The Nationals are now a half-game ahead of the Braves in the National League East. Atlanta blanked the Padres, 2-0, at Turner Field.
If there was any worry about Zimmermann's right biceps strain, it came to an end Monday night. He pitched seven solid innings, allowed two runs on four hits and struck out six while the Marlins didn't have a runner in scoring position against the right-hander until the seventh inning, when they scored twice.
Zimmermann had great command of his pitches and started the game by retiring 14 out of the first 15 hitters he faced. His fastball reached 94 mph, and he had a slider that was fooling the Marlins' hitters.
"He was really good tonight. He was down in the zone, he had a great slider," Williams said. "Much better than his last one. The last one was just rust. Tonight, he proved that he is back on it."
Right-hander Nathan Eovaldi was Zimmermann's counterpart, and the Nationals took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Anthony Rendon scored on a sacrifice fly by Adam LaRoche. Washington pulled away in the sixth inning as the team batted around and scored five runs against Eovaldi and reliever Dan Jennings. Danny Espinosa highlighted the scoring with a two-run single off Jennings.
But the Nationals lost their 46th game of the season, and Jayson Werth believes the team can bounce back from a devastating loss.
"These guys in the bullpen have been really good. We move on," said Werth, who exited in the seventh inning with sprained right ankle and is considered day to day. "Things happen, we'll be fine. We are a resilient team. We have a long way to go. We have a good club. I like the way things set up for us, the way we are playing. It's just one game."
Williams doesn't have any doubt that his team will be ready for Tuesday's game.
"It stings a little more, even when you have the lead late and it doesn't happen for you," Williams said. "They are resilient. If they have showed me anything this year, they are that. They are professionals. They will be ready to play tomorrow."

Loyola to receive $1,000,000 from The Goizueta Foundation
Loyola press release - December 6, 2002
(New Orleans)—Loyola University New Orleans will receive $1,000,000 from The Goizueta Foundation. The grant is designated to establish and endow The Goizueta Foundation Scholars Fund to provide need-based scholarship assistance annually for Hispanic/Latino students whose families reside in the United States. The money is payable in December 2002.
The grant will be available to current and prospective students. Current students need apply by January 15, with supporting letters and/or nominations. For new students, the timeline would follow Loyola's general scholarship timeline with priority given to students who apply and are accepted by December 1. A high school grade point average of 3.0 would be required for consideration with a competitive SAT/ACT score. A campus committee comprised of select faculty and staff will meet to select the final candidates and awards would be given for the following academic year before the close of the spring semester.
"To meet the needs of our growing Hispanic/Latino student body, the university must increase student endowment funds that target this student population. Through this endowed scholarship, the university's financial aid efforts will be more closely connected to the institution's goal of attracting and supporting Hispanic students," emphasized Loyola President, the Rev. Bernard P. Knoth, S.J.
Hispanic students comprise 14 percent of this year's freshman class, the highest percentage of Hispanic students at Loyola since 1996.
The U.S. Census data predict by the year 2015, more than 35 percent of all students on campuses will be members of minority groups, mostly Asian and Hispanic descent. The higher proportions of minority students means the cohort of students attending colleges in 2015 is likely to be poorer and, therefore, will need significantly more financial aid.
This university-wide, endowed scholarship will build on existing effort to support Hispanics students. For example, the J. Edgar Monroe Foundation provides scholarship support to Costa Rican students who wish to study music at Loyola, and the College of Business Administration partners with the Gulf Coast International Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to foster internship for students.

2003 Toyota Sequoia ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
American size, Toyota quality.
Toyota Sequoia is among the best of the full-size SUVs. It's about the same size as a Ford Expedition, and slightly larger than a Chevy Tahoe. Like most Toyotas, it's very well engineered and offers the highest levels of quality, durability, and reliability. It's quiet and comfortable.
The Sequoia is a great family vehicle, a modern replacement for the traditional American station wagon, with three rows of seats capable of carrying eight passengers.
New options for 2003 include a DVD entertainment system for rear-seat rugrats. The package comprises a high-resolution screen that flips down from the headliner, a DVD player in the center console, wireless headphones, and an independent rear-seat audio system. Another new option for 2003 is hydraulic load leveling. Brake Assist has been added as standard equipment for 2003.
Toyota Sequoia comes in two trim levels: SR5 and Limited. Both are powered by a 240-horsepower 4.7-liter V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive models are available.
SR5 ($31,625) comes standard with power windows, mirrors and door locks, cruise control, automatic climate control, an AM/FM stereo with both cassette and CD players, ABS with brake assist, and 16-inch styled steel wheels.
Limited ($40,200) adds leather upholstery, dual-zone (front and rear) climate control, heated outside mirrors, JBL stereo, roof rack, and (new for 2003) P265/65R17 tires on 17-inch aluminum wheels.
Both trim lines come standard with an electronic stability program to help correct a skid, and traction control to keep the wheels from slipping when accelerating in slippery driving conditions.
Sequoia takes its styling cues from the Toyota Tundra full-size pickup. Both are built in the same assembly plant at Princeton, Indiana.
Sequoia's front and rear doors are nicely integrated and fit proportionally with the rearmost seating and cargo area. The liftgate rear window actually rolls down, just like on those wood-paneled station wagons of the '60s and '70s.
The Limited model is distinguished by its fog lights, running boards, attractive alloy wheels, and rear spoiler. The overall look is clean, purposeful and, above all, big.
The Limited model is fitted with sumptuous leather seats, comfortable and heated.
Getting in and out of the Sequoia is a challenge, however. Although the Limited model comes with running boards (optional on the SR5) and grab handles mounted inside of the doorframes, you must be prepared to lift yourself up and into this vehicle. A big beast like the Sequoia requires some physical dexterity and for its occupants to be unafraid of heights: Once in, there's a commanding view from every seat.
The Sequoia is a champ if you have to transport lots of kids on a regular basis. We say 'kids' because they're the only ones with the agility to hop over the middle-row to get to the third-row seats. Asking full-sized adults to crawl back there will likely cost you a few friends.
For carrying cargo, the third-row seats are easy to tumble forward to expand the cargo area. We found that left enough room for a jogging stroller, a baby backpack, and all the rest of the gear we needed for a day's worth of hiking. For maximum cargo carrying, you can remove the third-row seats and fold and tumble the second-row seats. Then there's enough space back there to clean out Toys 'R Us during a clearance sale.
Toyota's attention to detail can be seen everywhere in the Sequoia. The terrifically large bin between the front seats is split into two levels. The top level has a notepad holder and a place for coins. The bottom level has a molded, bookshelf-like CD holder to keep up to eight CDs from rattling around. There's enough room left over to hold a six-pack or a moderately sized purse. An overhead console holds sunglasses. The driver information center includes a compass, outside temperature, and fuel economy statistics, such as miles until empty, and overall and instant mpg. Double sun visors are provided. Other items make family outings a snap: multiple cupholders and storage bins scattered throughout the cabin; large openings for the rear doors which make installing child safety seats a breeze; front and rear air conditioning controls
The Limited version is very luxurious, almost like a Lexus in that regard, dual-zone automatic climate control, a killer JBL stereo with an available in-dash 6-CD changer, and every power-operated convenience feature you can imagine. Ours came with an enormous moonroof.
Nitpicks: The clock is mounted far too low in the center of the dash and is obscured by the climate control switches. And not all of us are enamored with the metal-tone trim in the Limited model.
Driving Impression
Piloting the Toyota Sequoia on the open road is a pleasure. We love the smooth and powerful V8 engine. It's a marvel of a power plant, and this truck needs all of its 240 horsepower. The transmission, too, was seamless in operation. With such a long wheelbase and significant overall heft, the Sequoia delivers a comfortable ride on all types of roads.
Yet while our Limited was almost as luxurious as a Lexus, it wasn't nearly as quiet. Wind noise at highway speed wasn't obtrusive, but the cabin wasn't as hushed as a Lexus LS 430 sedan we recently drove.
The brakes work well, and come with Brake Assist. Brake Assist detects panic stops and increases brake pressure automatically to help reduce stopping distances.
There are two controls to activate the optional four-wheel drive system. The first is a simple button, located fairly low in the center of the dashboard. Pressing it will put the vehicle in 4 Hi, good for driving on snowy or slippery roads. It can be engaged on the fly without having to stop the vehicle. A traditional-looking shift lever between the front seats activates 4 Lo, a creeper gear used for extreme off-road use, such as descending a very steep hill.
Speaking of steep hills, Sequoia's active four-wheel traction control (TRAC), which comes standard on four-wheel-drive models, made it easy for us to drive straight up a set of moguls on a dry, gravel-covered ski slope at Big Sky, Montana. Instead of modulating the throttle, we simply held the gas down, and the Sequoia walked right up the hill, transferring torque to the tires with the best grip. Drop it into 4 Lo, and the system automatically locks the center differential for go-anywhere capability. Two-wheel-drive Sequoias come standard with rear-wheel traction control, though, obviously, they won't offer the mogul-climbing abilities of the four-wheel-drive models.
The skid-control feature, which is standard, helps the Sequoia maintain stability should it lose traction and begin to slid sideways. This electronic stability program selectively applies braking force to individual wheels to stop a skid, and it can really help you avoid an accident.
A two-wheel-drive Sequoia is rated to tow up to a 6500-pound trailer, while a 4x4 is rated to pull a 6200-pound trailer. Yet another new option for 2003 is a seven-pin towing connector that is compatible with electric trailer brakes.
Sequoia's luxury and comfort come with a price at the gas pump. The EPA says to expect only 14 mpg in city driving and a paltry 17 mpg on the highway. Forgoing 4WD ups the highway figure to 18 mpg. As you'd imagine from a vehicle of this size, the Sequoia is not easy to park. Parallel parking this hulk in downtown Austin, Texas, proved to be a humbling experience.
Toyota Sequoia has seating for up to eight (or five and lots of room to bring the dogs). It delivers a smooth, comfortable ride. It comes with lots of safety equipment, including traction and skid control, available front side-impact and head-level airbags, three-point seatbelts for all seating positions, available on-demand four-wheel drive, and the secure feeling that comes with driving a vehicle that weighs more than 5,000 pounds. It can pull a 6200-pound trailer.
Overall, the Sequoia is a marvelous truck. It's not the best daily family taxi in congested, urban areas, but it's unbeatable for family road trips.

This is the second time we have worked with Pat to sell a house. She handled our Mother's house sale and recently helped us sell ours. She is professional, knowledgeable of the process and markets and helped us find good service suppliers to fix up and prep the houses.
We would highly recommend Pat Chadwell to anyone looking for a Realtor to help them through the sale process.

Pat really went above and beyond in assisting us with the sale of my parent's home! Her recommendations for upgrades and repairs were well worth it and very reasonably priced. Her market analysis was very thorough, and her knowledge helped get us a terrific offer in a very short period of time.
As we had to move my parents out of state rather quickly, Pat oversaw all of the inspections, repairs, upgrades and cleanup of the home for us. She even assisted us with utilities and some personal errands. She worked quickly and kept us updated throughout the entire process. Everything went very smoothly for our family during a difficult time and we would not hesitate to recommend her.

Pat is an awesome realtor! She helped me sell my townhouse in West San Jose in only 6 days, at the same time she represented me in the buying process for a new home in Morgan Hill. Pat is a very knowledgeable realtor, she really knows her stuff. And best of all, she has guided me through every step of the selling & buying process, with patience and kindness. Nothing falls through the cracks.... I would highly recommend her as a great, professional realtor 😊

I have known Pat Chadwell a number of years so when I decided to list my home, there was no doubt who I would like to handle the listing. She is by far the best at what a reator should be. I have lived in my home for twenty five years so the prospect of selling it was a little daunting to say to least. Pat handled everything from preparation coaching to deciding the best price, based on the latest comps.
She gave me tips and advice on getting my home ready for showing. She was always there to answer my questions. She knows the market and what current buyers are most interested in when searching for a new home.
With her knowledge and expertise, plus years of experience in residential Real Estate, I knew I was in good hands.
Her talented photographer and video specialist was exceptional. She
marketed my home so magnificently that I wanted to buy it!!
I am one Happy Camper!

I no longer reside in California and I needed an excellent and completely trustworthy realtor to sell my Judro Manor condo in San Jose. After a previous negative experience with an incompetent realtor, I was determined to make sure I had the best. I did my research and knew Pat Chadwell could handle this difficult out of state sale for me. When problems arose I knew that Pat would find solutions and get the job done. There was no need for me to worry because I had full confidence in her capabilities. I received a great offer, Pat gave me excellent advice and kept me fully informed throughout the entire process. You will not find a more diligent, intelligent and more knowledgeable realtor!
She is outstanding!

Just want to give a big shout out to Pat Chadwell and let everyone know what a great job she did helping us sell our home in Santa Clara, and purchasing our new home in Clovis. She did an excellent job on being available and being prepared for any questions we had, every step of the way. She was there for us at each signing, and gave us information and documents to sign immediately. There were no surprises along the way. Pat was very understanding of the real estate market in our area, and had us and our home prepared well in advance of our Open House. Pat's kindness, compassion, and understanding make her an excellent Real Estate Professional. We just can't say enough about how she made this process pleasant and as stress free as possible.

Pat has helped me sell not 1, not 2 but 3 houses. 2 of the houses were part of an estate and the third house was my personal house.
One of the houses required extensive updating and Pat was instrumental in her recommendations of what styles were current and the best places to find them. As a result of her guidance we we able to do all the upgrades and still make a good profit.
The second house was almost 100 years old and was sold just as the housing market was crashing in our area but Pat stayed steady through the whole process and kept me steady and we sold it as well.
Selling our house was the perfect move as the market was prime for us as sellers. Pat helped us get it ready to sell and also helped us find our new "dream" home.
Pat's advice has always been easy to understand, offered as advice that I could accept or not, and was always right on the mark.
I have recommended her to many of my friends and family and will continue to do so.

First, Pat is very pleasant and easy to talk to. We appreciated her knowledge and experience, and we were able to speak to her honestly and bluntly. She was a great hand-holder through what can be a stressful process. (We lived in our home 20 years before putting it up for sale upon retirement and leaving the area.)
1. Preparation of home: Pat was willing to discuss six month prior to sale. She walked our home and suggested minor changes to make it ready for market.
2. Vendor selection: She offered vendors for home inspection, termite inspection and house cleaning. They were thorough, professional and courteous.
3. Follow-Up: Pat was spot on and organized with follow up on time frames/lines and expectations. She was very helpful to inexperienced buyer's agent to keep the escrow moving smoothly.
4. Marketing: She is a "team" player, allowing us to modify sales price and house description. She also had to adjust our listing date when we need just "one more week" to get it ready for sale.
5. Knowledge: Pat's knowledge of local real estate market was invaluable before, during negotiations and through closing of escrow. She knew when to be firm and when to be flexible.
6. Last, but not least: Pat escorted us during every step of the selling of our home and listened to us with our concerns with the purchase of our new home in a different market. She patiently described what we were signing and how it affected us from accepting an offer through close of escrow. She also pointed out important issues we would need to know as "buyers" when we moved.
She kept us informed through email and phone calls, and meet with us whenever we needed extra counseling. She listened to our personal goals and needs and was able to negotiate a desirable outcome to make our transition a smooth one.
Pat Chadwell is an excellent real estate broker and a lovely person. We appreciate her expertise and friendship.

There are not enough words that I can say as to how fantastic Pat Chadwell is! Pat helped us find our perfect dream home. On the road to finding that home, she was always available to us when we needed information, disclosure reports, or setting up showings. She made us feel very important and worked quickly in this crazy Bay Area market. She was there for us at every step of the buying process from looking over the disclosure reports, to working on putting in the offer during a holiday weekend, to even coming to Title when we signed off on docs. Every step of the way she was there and I will never use another realtor in the Bay Area other then Pat Chadwell.

Pat is amazing. We don't live in Silicon Valley but owned property there. When we were looking for information on the market value we remembered getting a postcard from Pat and thought we'd call to inquire with her. Nothing more came out of it at the time but Pat gently continued to keep in touch. Periodically, we'd get an email, postcard or text. She never rushed or pushed. Finally, we decided to sell the property and remembered this woman who basically kept in touch with us over the course of about a year. She explained to us in great detail the situation with the market, how the sale would happen and timing of everything. We literally went on vacation. Pat called to let us know the house was on the market. We didn't worry about a THING and the house sold in a week with multiple offers. It was the most stress free transaction we had ever dealt with all because of Pat's superior knowledge, relationships within her industry, people skills and professional demeanor. Even though we no longer have ties to Silicon Valley we have remained friends.

I would definitely recommend Pat as either sellers or buyers agent. I interviewed 3 potential agents when I was ready to sell my house in Willow Glen and was impressed with Pat's professional approach and knowledge about the market. Pat was well organized and quickly setting up all vendors to help me prepare for the sell. Throughout the process from sells agreement to closing the deal, Pat was extremely efficient in ordering all the required documents and followed through timely for all the signatures etc. which are the key for our smooth transaction.

We selected Pat Chadwell to represent us on the sale of our condo in Sunnyvale. After 23 years of living there with no sinificant maintenance or upgrades, Pat had her hands full preparing the condo for sale. Her efforts included selection of materials & appliances as well as contractor selection for repairs & upgrades. All this required follow-up that resulted in a condo that was like new and easy to market.
Pat worked closly with us on the sale of our condo. Her marketing skills and knowledge of real estate resulted in an expediant sale at fair market value
After the close of escrow, Pat helped us with mail forwarding and the exchange of condo keys. Her genuine concern for our overall well being was very comforting to us.
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best, we both give her a 10+. Pat has our appreciation.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Pat on the recent sale of our home and the purchase of our next one. We had previously worked with Pat to purchase our previous home, and were thrilled to be working with her again. Pat is a seasoned pro, with comprehensive expertise in real estate, offering sage advise at each step along the way. When the wheels start turning for a home sale or purchase, things can get very busy, and Pat was our rock throughout the process. She's calm, and clear, and was quick to share her valuable knowledge and insights. She really listened to our needs and helped us navigate the many moving parts of our buying and selling. We were thrilled with the results, and I am quick to recommend Pat with absolute confidence to any of my friends or peers looking to purchase in the Bay Area.

Pat Chadwell is quite simply THE BEST! When I needed to sell my step-Mom's Dry Creek Village townhouse, Pat had the skills and knowledge to guide me through the entire process.
She knew which repairs and improvements were needed to make the home "turn key ready," and she had the experienced crews to accomplish these tasks. Every step of the way, Pat and I were partners in this endeavor. It had been 24 years since I sold a home! So much had changed! Pat answered all my questions, and helped with so many resources.
Selling a home can be stressful, but Pat made the process manageable and even at times fun! I live 90 minutes away. Pat handled so many details for me. She set me up with DocuSign, so that trips to San Jose to sign paperwork weren't needed.
Pat's knowledge of the real estate market is unparalleled. She is tech-savvy, yet maintains the personal touch and kept me fully informed all the way. Pat is respected by her fellow Realtors. I appreciate that she is also a Broker. Her clients know that she has their best interests foremost.
I would definitely buy or sell another home with Pat. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, efficient, personable, and caring Realtor.
Choose Pat; you will be glad you did!

We have known and worked with Pat for many years. She tirelessly showed us many properties, in several areas to help us find a home that met our criteria and a price we could afford. Her knowledge of the market in our area helped us tremendously. When we made the decision to sell and buy another home, Pat meticulously stepped us through the process. She was always quick to respond, answer questions and communication throughout the entire process was seamless. With her years of experience of Silicon Valley real estate and her patience, she calmly guided us through a usually stressful process. She is extremely knowledgable, is well established in the real estate market and attends weekly marketing meetings. During our selling process, we were extremely impressed with her marketing skills and her creativity in promoting our home. She created a beautiful flier, sent out postcards, created a website and set up a special twilight photo session of our home. Pat also created a detailed checklist to keep our selling and purchasing process on track. While purchasing our new home, Pat continued her skills of communication, negotiation and attention to detail. She kept our sale on track with her timeliness and helped us get into our new home easily. Pat is a realtor we can recommend with confidence. We are very grateful for Pat's patience and professionalism with our family. She helped us get into the neighborhood and home we have always dreamt of!

Pat makes entire buying or selling process easy, smooth and piece of mind. This is the second time we have worked with Pat. Pat helped us with buying and selling our house. It was very smooth. She is very organized. She is a master of real estate process and has great knowledge about real estate process and market valuation. She explains the process clearly, follows every step of it, does very diligent market search, and provides detailed information to make informed decision. She is always on-time. Our house needed some repair, she took care of those repairs, she found vendors for us, she followed-up with vendors to make sure house was ready for sale on time. She did good marketing and created many inbound ask before the house was in the market. Sales process could be very time-consuming/challenging for the seller. Pat took work off of our time. We highly recommend her for your real estate agent.

Pat was amazing. I first reached out a year ago, just to get a gauge of the market. Pat knew I wasn't in a buy now mode, and was so helpful in walking me through various price range properties, to help illustrate what I could get for the money.
A year later, and we went on an exhaustive search of almost a dozen properties. I found one I instantly fell in love with. Pat not only helped by analytically comparing properties, but once she knew this was the one, she worked tirelessly to ensure I was successful. On a side note, I learned I was in a competitive bid situation. I reached out to Pat asking if I should increase my offer. Pat suggested against increasing my offer which may have saved me thousands of dollars. Through it all, Pat was always responding almost instantly, and was always available for anything I needed. BTW, I remain in touch with Pat today. I now consider Pat a great friend.
I will recommend to all of my friends who are in a property search to work with Pat. She is reliable, on time, organized, and like a pit bull when getting things done.

I would highly recommend Pat Chadwell for anyone who is looking to sell their home. She is by far the best in her field. Professional, thorough, and personable, Pat handles everything expeditiously and with excellence. I received five offers in five days and closed escrow within a month of listing. That works with the most highly skilled people to ensure your home is presented and ready for sale. Truly the best in her field, I would never work with anyone else but Pat.

I don't have enough amazing adjectives to describe how wonderful Pat is, as both a Realtor and as a person! We have given her name and number out many times when anyone mentions real estate needs and she will be the first call we make if and when we decide to move again. She is so incredibly knowledgable, efficient, smart, kind and one of the hardest working people I've ever met. She is clearly passionate about what she does and her talent is impressive! Work with her, you won't regret it.

Time may heal all wounds, but it's hellishly hard on automobiles. These depredations tend to fall into two categories: those arising from the inevitable effects of the aging process, and those inflicted—whether intentionally or not—by one or more of the vehicle's owners over the course of its life. While the Corvette's fiberglass skin confers some measure of immunity to the former, the vintage-Vette market is rife with cars still suffering the effects of poorly executed body modifications and other "custom" work performed throughout the years.
All of which brings us, in admittedly roundabout fashion, to the '58 model depicted in the accompanying photos. Though outwardly appealing, with a recently re-sprayed Signet Red paintjob and a mostly intact interior, the car bore the unmistakable signs of what might be charitably be described as a "colorful" past. Most notable was the rear suspension, most of whose factory parts had been jettisoned at some point in favor of a kludged-together ladder-bar setup and a nine-inch Detroit Locker rear that shuddered in tight turns like a Kardashian at a geography bee.
While the original powertrain was also MIA, the news here was less grim. In the place of the stock 283 was a 406-cube small-block equipped with a Holley carb, AFR heads, and a raunchy hydraulic roller cam. The T-10 aluminum four-speed, meanwhile, had been supplanted by a heavier-duty iron Muncie (most likely an M-20). Given the '58 model's sub-3,000-pound curb weight, the package should have yielded rousing performance, at least in a straight line.
And it did…when it wasn't coughing, sputtering, and shutting off mid-charge. In fact, it was an inability to consistently perform up to its potential that ultimately forced the car's previous owner to wash his hands of the project. No matter what corrective action he took—from changing out the fuel filter and lines to having the tank professionally cleaned—the SBC stroker still evinced all the signs of an inadequate or contaminated fuel supply. At some point it all proved too much, and the Vette went up for sale.
When the new owner also proved unable to chase down the source of the problem, he took the car to AntiVenom, a Seffner, Florida–based performance tuner specializing in Corvettes of all vintages. After a careful process of elimination left the 54-year-old factory fuel tank as the only possible culprit, AV's Greg Lovell decided that the wisest (and most economically palatable) course of action was to order up a fresh replacement unit from Corvette Central.
CC's $349.95 Deluxe Gas Tank Kit (PN 361021) comes complete with a new cap, fill neck, gaskets, vent hoses, hold-down straps, and supporting hardware. Assuming originality isn't paramount, it's a smart alternative to simply cleaning and reinstalling the OEM unit, a process that, as we'll see momentarily, does not guarantee results.
Follow along now as we start to get this long-suffering C1 back on the road to fuel- system salubrity.

A breast cancer diagnosis—whether it's your own or someone you love—can leave you feeling helpless. Imagine if there were a way to fight back—to do something that can make an impact. There is. It's called the Susan G. Komen 3-Day®.
It's a three-day, 60-mile walk that's making a real difference in the fight against breast cancer. In 2016, Susan G. Komen® announced a Bold Goal—to reduce the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50% in the U.S. by 2026. That's why we walk, and why we raise money—to make that goal a reality.
Pink is more than just a color; it represents the impact that each person is making in the fight against breast cancer. This impact makes you More Than Pink. Over the past 15 years and 163 events, the money we've raised has been used to save lives, support community programs, and make huge strides in breast cancer research.
The Komen 3-Day has also inspired the thousands of women and men who left the event transformed. You'll find strength, you'll find purpose and you'll know that you are More Than Pink.
From the minute you register, an experienced 3-Day walker will be your coach and mentor for your entire journey. Through fundraising and training, you'll meet other walkers, you may form a team and you'll gather together in triumph for three incredible days.
"I walk because the day a family member receives a cancer diagnosis, your whole world changes. You immediately think of the years you may lose with them and of the heavy burdens they now must bear. I dream of a future in which no mother, father, sister, brother, or other loved one has to battle cancer. We're all here today, united in the fight against cancer. We support the fighters, admire the survivors, honor the angels, and never EVER give up hope."
—Susan, Dallas/Fort Worth 3-Day Walker
The Susan G. Komen 3-Day® became what it is because of you. You built this community from the ground up into an unstoppable force. You declared that you could not sit by while breast cancer continues to threaten the lives of those we love.
The money you've raised, and the lives you've impacted, make you More Than Pink.
So let's continue the battle cry together: We will never give up. We keep walking and we keep raising money to ensure that no other lives are taken by this disease.
"My best friend from childhood began walking the 3-Day with me in 2012. Only 7 months later, she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, one that had no cure just 20 years ago. But today, she is cancer-free and so thankful for Susan G. Komen®, because money from these events supported the research that saved her life."
—Emily, Dallas/Fort Worth 3-Day Walker
A Susan G. Komen 3-Day® walker's journey is long and challenging, and they need you to help them through it.
When the Komen 3-Day comes to town, the whole community rallies around it. Cheering stations and squads of all sizes energize and inspire the walkers, and spread the spirit of the 3-Day®. It's three incredible days as part of a community dedicated to doing good. Don't miss it!
There are many different ways you can join in and make an impact. Serve as a crew member, make a donation, volunteer your time, join a cheering station or organize a cheering squad.
"It is truly the journey that brings you to the awareness of why each of us is here. We have our own personal reasons for wanting to travel this path…but each of us, in our hearts, shares a passion for doing something, somehow, to make a difference, to change a life, to find a cure. Each of us, as we walk these miles, travels not only the journey of the road, but also the journey of our hearts. Each of us becomes one of a family that is united across all boundaries, to do what we can to truly make a difference, and we know that each step does make a difference."

SCHLADMING, Austria—Lindsey Vonn will head home for surgery in Colorado next week after tearing two ligaments in her right knee and breaking a bone in her lower leg in a crash at the world championships.
Vonn said Wednesday that she plans to compete in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, which start in 12 months. She was released from the hospital late Tuesday and returned to the team hotel.
"I am grateful to my fans for the outpouring of support, which has really helped me stay positive," Vonn said in a statement. "I can assure you that I will work as hard as humanly possible to be ready to represent my country next year in Sochi."
The Olympic downhill champion will have surgery next week in Vail, Colo. Because of intense media attention, neither she nor the U.S. Ski Team would say when she's leaving Austria.
"She'll be heading back to Vail (Colorado) and I will be doing surgery on her knee early next week," team physician William Sterett told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
"Lindsey is doing well," said Sterett, who has been treating Vonn since her youth. "She's in good spirits."
Vonn, who was airlifted to the hospital, tore her anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in her right knee. The broken bone was described as a lateral tibial plateau fracture.
"The fracture is called an impaction fracture," Sterett said. "It should not require any surgery. It just needs to be non-weight on crutches."
Sterett would not set a return date to skiing for Vonn until after the surgery, but other doctors believe she will be sidelined for up to eight months.
The U.S. team said the four-time overall champion will be back in time for the next World Cup season.
The accident happened after Vonn landed a jump in the opening super-G race at the championships. As she hit the ground, her right leg gave way and she spun forward. She ended up on her back as she smashed through a gate.
"The hospital staff did an excellent job with X-rays, MRI," Sterett said. "She had very good care and they were very, very helpful."
Sterett said Vonn was "a little banged up, and sore everywhere."
"She's intently focusing on the next step and the next step now is getting from point A to point B, with point B being next season," he said. "She's determined and upbeat."
Sterett left open the possibility of Vonn requiring more than one surgery, saying that with these types of injuries "that's always a possibility."
However, the plan for now was only one operation.
"I want to say thank you to the amazing medical staff that cared for me," Vonn said. "I plan on returning to Vail as soon as I can to have the necessary surgeries."

One company's response to the jury verdict in Apple vs. Samsung was still missing: Google's. The company has now responded to The Verge, and there's almost a certain bitterness in their language. Not, as you would expect, directed at Apple; no, the bitterness is directed at Samsung. The message Google is sending to other Android OEMs? Stick to stock Android, and you'll have no problems.

RE[3]: That's not the way.

That was irony, but reading mainstream press, this view seems to be dominating.
Yeah, sorry, sadly I thought you were being serious.
There really are naive people out there who have pretty much said that this lawsuit is a great wine for innovation, which just makes me want to vomit.

In casting tonight, Geoff says his favorite is Julius Cesta. I concur wholeheartedly.
Marek Piska lives in Prague. He is a good looking guy, with a nice body too. He doesn't get hard in his casting, but looks quite well endowed. He also has a nice ass.
Dominik is from Karvina. He is a really nice looking guy, such a beautiful face. The rest is very good too, with a good body, a big fat cock and a very nice ass. We have already done shoots with Dominik, a duo with him is already online.
Jan Rojka is from Cerveny Kostolec. A handsome guy Jan is quite well built. he certainly has a monster dick and a very nice ass.
