Being charged with DUI (Driving While Intoxicated) can be one of the most frightening eventsww of your life. Alcohol, illegal or prescription drugs can impair driving to an unsafe, unlawful level. Whatever the situation, you need an attorney as soon as possible to protect your legal rights. It's important to choose a DUI defense attorney whose primary practice is criminal and DUI defense. As important as criminal defense expertise, is the attention you receive from your DUI defense attorney. You want to choose a DUI defense lawyer who will take the time to get to know you, understand your case, fight tirelessly for your rights, and has your best interests in mind.
As a Glenpool DUI defense attorney, it is my job to help those who are in the toughest of situations. I treat clients as I would expect to be treated by a DUI defense attorney, by being accessible and dedicated to my clients. I am an experienced Glenpool DUI attorney, handling all misdemeanor and felony Glenpool DUI defense cases.
All of my clients have direct cell phone access to me at all times, as should be the case when someone is facing serious criminal charges, like a DUI. My firm is not a crowded factory, and I do not take on hundreds of cases at a time. Rather, I am selective in who I choose to defend, which allows me to spend more time focusing on our individual clients. I have found this practice leads to better results and higher satisfaction for my clients. I will be happy to discuss your case with you. Call me today for a free consultation.
Any drunk driving or drug-related DUI charge is a serious matter, whatever the exact circumstances and wherever the arrest occurred. Please recognize that: Even the most basic first-offense Oklahoma DUI conviction can bring a sentence of up to one year in jail, a $1,000 fine plus hundreds in additional fees, driver's license suspension and more.
"Aggravating factors" such as a prior DUI conviction or the presence of a person under 18 in the vehicle dramatically increase the potential for a lengthy jail sentence and other life-changing penalties.
Special laws and penalties — including driver's license suspension for up to two full years — apply if you are arrested for DUI when you are under 21.
You have only 15 days from the date of your arrest to request an administrative hearing and/or a modified, limited driver's license through the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety.
Driving Under the Influence (DUI) can be charged against you several ways in Oklahoma. If you are arrested by a city or municipal (Glenpool) police officer, the police officer has the option (subject to their department's policies) of charging you in the city court or in the state district court. If the DUI is filed in the city court, the penalties range from no jail time to 6 months jail time and/or a fine. If you are arrested by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, a county deputy, the charge will be filed in the state district court.
If it is your first driving under the influence (DUI) offense and no one was injured, the DUI will be filed as a misdemeanor. Misdemeanor DUI carries a fine of up to $1000.00 and jail time of at least 10 days but not more than one year in the county jail. The sentence can be deferred resulting in no conviction or the jail time can be suspended. Although DUI is a serious charge, most people will not be required to do any jail time on a first time misdemeanor DUI offense, depending on the evidence the state has. This is just an estimate on how some cases can go, however, and not specific to your individual case. If you would like an assessment on your individual case, call me immediately for a free consultation.

Things to keep in mind if you are being investigated for a crime or have been arrested:
Immediately speak with an attorney regarding the situation and retain them if necessary. Ideally, this would be prior to making any statements to law enforcement. Always be polite and courteous with any law enforcement officer. It is important not to make any sudden movements and always keep your hands in sight. Do not interfere with the police or resist/touch an officer. Officers can misinterpret even innocent actions of this nature, and because of the dangers inherent to their job are forced to take precautionary, even deadly measures. Tense situations are always handled best by remaining calm and collected. Always ask if you are under arrest, and do not give a voluntary statement without speaking to an attorney. Most of us can recite the Miranda warnings by heart, or at least the beginning. While the Miranda warning informs you of your rights post-arrest, a voluntary statement made prior to arrest can still be used against you. Never discuss crimes you are being investigated for, or have been charged with anyone except your lawyer. Always be truthful with your attorney. Your attorney is your advocate and works for you.
Confidential criminal defense communications
The attorney-client privilege protects certain communications between a client and his or her lawyer. It exists to assure clients that the information they share with their attorney is confidential, and that their attorney cannot use that information to testify against them. This rule allows clients and potential clients the full confidence in the confidentiality of their conversations with their attorney. Attorneys need to know the entire story to adequately give advice and defend their clients or assess a case. This rule applies to clients and persons seeking to become clients. For your free confidential consultation, give me a call at (918)557-2600.

As I said in my last post, I recently participated in a webinar given by a well-known agent, who has a reputation for looking after her authors. As part of the fee we paid, we were eligible to have this agent critique the first 300 words of our novels. So I sent in the very beginning of ONE SEED SOWN, TWO MURDERS REAPED.
To my delight, the agent responded within 2 days. Her response was that she wasn't sure that my protagonist (Cecily Neville) was enough of a name to be able to sell books. On the other hand, she did have some interest as the mother of Richard III. What would make a difference for this agent was how good the writing was.
I would like this agent to represent my novel, but I'm taking her warning about the quality of the writing to heart. I've decided to explore some other avenues first before I submit it to her. Stay tuned.
Next: I get rejected by an agent and participate in another webinar.

In February 2003 construction began. The building was given to the city by Mayor Marta Suplicy in partnership with a private company in 2004 and opened in 2005. Remained under the management of the Institute Ibirapuera Auditorium, civil society organization of public interest (Oscip) until 2011Com 7,000 m² of floor space and 4,870 m² of projected area, the auditorium presents performances of music, theater and dance, serving as a space for development of new talent and promoting the encounter between cultures and artistic expressions both nationally and internationally. In the basement of the building works at the School Auditorium - a music education center with 170 pupils, children and adolescents coming, mostly held in check municipal schools - which keeps the musical groups Furious Auditorium and Orchestra Brazilian Auditorium. Em 2011, o Itaú Cultural foi escolhido pela Secretaria Municipal de Cultura de São Paulo, em processo de chamamento público, para ser o novo gestor do Auditório Ibirapuera – um dos principais equipamentos culturais da capital paulista, cuja história remonta à década de 1950, quando o arquiteto Oscar Niemeyer o concebeu no projeto original do Parque IbirapueraDesse momento até o lançamento da pedra fundamental para dar início às obras que seriam acompanhadas pelo escritório do arquiteto, passaram quase 50 anos. Em fevereiro de 2003 as obras começaram. O edifício foi entregue à cidade pela prefeita Marta Suplicy em parceria com uma empresa privada em 2004 e inaugurado em 2005.

Overview and HistorySao Paulo is the biggest city both in Brazil and the southern hemisphere, even bigger than Rio. It's mega-sprawling like Los Angeles. By some estimates Sao Paulo has 27 million people, surpassed only by Tokyo. If Godzilla would only win for once, Sao Paulo might become THE biggest city. Whoa!Sao Paulo is the financial center of South America, and in turn its center is the stock exchange downtown on Paulista Avenue. Here's the 1892 viaduct linking the old downtown with what later became the new downtown.Sao Paulo was founded by Jesuit missionaries in 1554. The economy here began with coffee exports from plantations worked first by slaves and then by European immigrants. The Mansion of Rosas, from 1930, is one of the last big ones built during the wealthy coffee period.Brazil is part of the "Mercosul" business community,which is the Common Market of the South. This is a trade zone roughly equivalent in purpose to the EU, African Union, Asia-Paficic Economic Cooperation, or the Security and Prosperity Partnership in North America.It snowed once, in 1918.The city government of Sao Paulo is located inside the Palace of the Bandeirantes. The Palace is named after the legendary Bandits who fought deep into the middle of South America, to expand the territory of Brazil in the eighteenth century. Here's a look at the interior, too.With all this commerce and activity flying around, it's natural that Sao Paulo is a huge center for business tourism. The city has the capacity to host hundreds of conventions PER DAY at any of the hotels, conference centers, sports arenas, etc. Here's an auto exhibition in the Anhembi Park Pavillion.But there is still a lot of history to explore here, even in the middle of the high-tech world around you. Anchieta Museum was originally a school for teaching religious subjects to native Brazillians, built 1554.The University of Sao Paulo's College of Law was founded in 1827 and is the oldest law school in Brazil. Twelve Brazillian presidents and countless other administrators have attended.Getting ThereSao Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport is a small city all by itself. It's got 53,000 employees and the only bigger cargo hub nearby is in Mexico City, man!Travel to the airport by bus takes about 45 minutes, you can rent a car there or park in the long term parking lots, as usual for any large airport city with 53,000 employees.Traffic can get gnarly so allow plenty of extra time to get to the airport when it's time to leave. Remember, 53,000 people can make a decent little rush hour all by themselves.TransportationFirst, some scenery with style: here's the Julio Prestes railway station now converted into a concert hall. The Station of Light or Estacao de Luz connecting with the metro system and also housing the Museum of the Portugese language. The Boiler House, a recovered industrial space now used for cultural events.There is a metro system here but it is not as comprehensive as in a place like Tokyo. Buses are the main way to get around, along with street taxis and radio-dispatch taxis. The latter are more reliable if you're not fluent in Portugese yet.People and CultureOverall, Sao Paulo is the most ethnically diverse city in Brazil, and it has the largest Japanese population outside of Japan (Liberdade neighborhood).And what do these diverse people do to celebrate? They have Carnaval!Brazil has the best Carnavale in the world. There's no way in hell we can come anywhere close to describing it, not even with panoramas and thousands of words plane tickets caiparinhas and a jar of tiger sweat. Preparations alone go on for weeks.It happens for 4 days before Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent, when people must give up the pleasures of the flesh.There are lots of other major events happening here throughout the course of the year.The annual Sao Paulo gay parade attracts upwards of 1.5 million people, and it's not just a little afternoon thing. The events surrounding the parade take up an entire month with street fairs, film festivals and crazy parties. This is the world's largest LGBT event! WORLD's LARGEST!Sao Paulo fashion week attracts designers from all over the globe, and the Festival of Electronic Art invites digital media-makers to assemble en masse and tweak parameters together.Sports fans pay attention! The Brazillian F1 Grand Prix is on a level with the Tour de France or the Kentucky Derby in world sporting. Drivers don't love the bumpy streets but fans come out in droves to watch, and 99% of them survive.Things to do & RecommendationsWell, you've got twelve thousand restaurants, seventy museums, two hundred cinemas, and fifty theaters to choose from.The Municipal Theater has the distinction of being the place where Hamlet was first performed, bringing Shakespeare to Sao Paulo as of 1911.Shopping? Check out Oscar Friere street for Godiva, Versace, Armani and all of Louis Vuitton's other friends.After you get thirsty from carrying all those bags, dip into Campos do Jordao for a cold beer. They brew their own.A few gallery pointers -- State Art Gallery with modern exhibits from the 19th century until now, MASP Museum of Art Sao Paulo, Tomie Ohtake Institute for gooey plastic hyper-modern stuff.For Nature and wildlife... well I guess the rainforest pretty much wins in this category, but on your way into the jungle you can poke your head into the Sao Paulo Aquarium.Right within the city there's some nice green space in Ibirapuera Park. Two square kilometers and it's still only the second biggest park in the city! Get ready for this list of what it contains: a planetarium, Astrophysics School, Villa de Osos Bacalao (a building shaped like a horse!!), five convention-center pavillions, Air Force Museum, Agricultural Palace, Gymnasium, running tracks, Obelisk and fourteen million blades of grass.Cool local favorite pub: "Jazz in the Deep Ones" where you can find live music and no liquor laws.Lastly, how many times do I have to tell you? Go up to the top of the tallest thing you can find and look around. It'll be worth more than anything you can buy.Text by Steve Smith.

Pennsylvania Man Sentenced for Taking Ducks
SIOUX FALLS - A Pennsylvania man has been sentenced to probation and restitution for unlawfully taking ducks.
U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson announced Monday that 43-year-old Mike Evangelista was sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to pay more than $4,500 in restitution and fines.
A grand jury indicted Evangelista in April for failure to lawfully tag migratory birds and aiding and abetting the sale and possession of wildlife in violation of the Migratory Bird Act.
Prosecutors say the charges stem from an incident in 2009 in which Evangelista, while working as a waterfowl guide, helped three female hunters take ducks when they did not have valid hunting licenses.

Area schools were well-represented at last weekend's wrestling state championship, held at Vergennes Union High School.
Check out Andy Kirkaldy's story, or flip through the slideshow for more great pictures that we couldn't fit in Monday's print edition!
VERGENNES — Vergennes residents on March 5 will decide whether to support the city council's $1.85 million bond proposal to pay for a new, 5,940-square-foot police station on North Main Street.
The price tag includes $1.15 million for the building, about $200,000 for site development costs, roughly $80,000 in design fees, a $50,000 contingency, $59,000 for a generator and furniture, and a number of other smaller expenses.
BRISTOL — A new dental center serving people of all income levels is expected to open this fall in Bristol's revitalized industrial park, thanks to a recently announced $300,000 federal grant that will provide key funding for the longstanding effort.
Moreover, the opening of the Addison County Dental Center (ACDC) is expected to complement a concurrent effort to establish a Federally Qualified Health Center, or FQHC, at the town's industrial park, which is gaining new momentum as BristolWorks.
MONKTON — Last August was the first time Beverly Latreille, 82, of Rotax Road in Monkton heard of it. The man who came to her door was working for an engineering firm that had been hired by Vermont Gas Systems, the South Burlington natural gas company now planning to build a 42-mile, $72 million pipeline extension through Addison County to Ticonderoga, N.Y.
ADDISON COUNTY — When they announced the winner in the best Animated Short Film category at the 85th Academy Awards ceremony Sunday night there was a particularly loud shout of joy at a home in West Addison.
It was the home of Helen and Ed Kahrs, where family and friends cheered for the Kahrs' son, John, who won the Oscar for his film "Paperman."
"It was pretty surreal," said Lee Kahrs, a Salisbury resident and older sister of John Kahrs.
NEW HAVEN / PENSACOLA, Fla. — Tyler McGuire, a first lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps, on Jan. 25 received his helicopter pilot wings at Whiting Naval Air Station, Florida, near Pensacola.
Present were McGuire's parents, Ed and Mary McGuire of New Haven, as well as his oldest brother, Matthew McGuire of Malvern, Pa., and his Uncle Jack and Aunt Sharon McGuire of Winter Park, Fla.

MONKTON — On Town Meeting Day, Monkton voters will be asked to consider a $1 million bond to fund the construction of a new town hall and library on the 5-acre parcel of land on Monkton Ridge that the town purchased with funds raised through a 2006 bond. Town officials say the current town hall and library are insufficient for Monkton's growing needs.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen on Feb. 19 approved a new letter of intent between the city and Encore Redevelopment that focuses on putting a solar array on a small city-owned parcel near the Canal Street Vergennes-Panton Water District office.

- Speakers of Nahuatl, as well as speakers of some Oto-Pamean languages
- People living in Tenochtitlan (the Mexica).
- People living in other places in the Valley of Mexico (there is no good indigenous term for these people).
- People living in the surrounding valleys (Morelos, Puebla, Tlaxcala, Toluca, etc.) who interacted heavily with those in the Valley of Mexico and shared many social and cultural trains with them.
I realize that some colleagues, who want to limit the term Aztec to the inhabitants of Tenochtitlan, will probably jump on me for my decision. But those of Tenochtitlan have TWO good names that they used themselves: Mexica, and Tenochca. But since the word "Aztec" was rarely used before the Spaniards arrived, and because there is no native term for the peoples of central Mexico at that time (although they clearly formed a significant social and cultural entity), and because no one has proposed a succinct alternative label, Aztec remains the term. Also, I doubt that Blackwell would want me to change the name of the book to "The peoples of central Mexico in the final centuries before AD 1519, including speakers and Nahuatl and other native languages."

Hi, Kristy from HandmadeRetro back again with another quilt design. This is the smallest quilt I have made for the Bake Shop and one of the smallest I have ever made. It is a quick top to sew up and a great holiday hand-quilting project. Head on over to my blog for some of the story about the quilting and hand sewing locations!
The design of this quilt was inspired in part by comments from Malka Dubrawsky, the designer of the fabric. She has shared her thoughts in the past that one way to make a traditional pattern modern is to dramatically increase the size of the block. So a one-block 8-point star!
* the amounts above yielded the quilt described below with substantial scraps of the bundle and careful cutting needed for the backing and the binding/border.
45 degree ruler – I used the Simplicity Studio Simpli-EZ 45 degree triangle 8829421by Darlene Zimmerman
NOTE: Any 45 degree ruler will work fine, but please be aware the the dimensions of the background squares and triangles may differ with a different ruler.
Perle cotton No 8 for quilting in the following colours
Finca 1902
Finca 9985
Finca 3810
Finca 4812
Finca 3324
Quilting Hoop
Cutting the star points
You will need to choose 32 prints to make the points of the star. I chose to exclude the solid prints from the bundle {the cheater print and one other print}.
One diamond is to be cut from each of the chosen fat eighths.
1. To cut the diamond, fold the print upwards about 7.5 inches (or the height of your 45 degree ruler) and press this fold.
2. Place the 45-degree ruler on the fold, with the wide base flush with the fold. Aligning this accurately is very important to ensure a regular diamond shape.
3. Cut around the ruler. Repeat with the other 31 selected prints.
4. When you open these out you will have diamonds.
Carefully taking care not to distort the bias edges, press the crease at the centre flat.
|I think this one was taken after they were all sewn together but you get the idea.
Sew from point to point – creating a pair of diamonds. Repeat with the other diamonds until all are sewn together.
Press seams to the side. You will be left with 16 pairs with each pair forming a parallelogram shape.
These 16 parallelograms will be sewn together in pairs along the long edge again to form larger diamonds that will become the 8 star points.
The ends of the seams will meet and extend slightly beyond as they did in the previous step. Here it will be important to match the seams in the centre to ensure nice point in the middle of the finished star points.
Match the seam junctions on the seam line. This will mean the seams will form a wide little 'v' shape and not meet at the end of the pieces. See picture below.
Pin this junction – it is helpful if the seams from the previous step are pressed in opposite directions.
Sew the two parallelograms together from point to point. Press seams to the side. You will end up with a large diamond made from the smaller 4.
The back of the new large diamond will look something like this if you have pressed your seams to the side.
Repeat until you have 16 pairs of diamonds sewn together.
Sewing the 8 points together!
The 8 individual diamonds will be sewn into pairs, then half a star and the across the centre to form the star, but an inset seam allowance needs to be left at the outside point to allow the background to be sewn on in the next step.
So, on each of the large diamonds mark the quarter inch seam point at the middle diamond point. To do this, draw a line with fabric chalk from the top and bottom halves of the diamond to form a 'X'.
Sew from this mark right to the end of the to pieces as you normally would. To ensure you start in the correct spot, lower your needle slowly into the centre of the X you just drew, I find it easier to do this before lowering the presser foot. I find it is a good idea to sew a few stitches and then backstitch at the beginning of the seam in this case. Your seams will nest again making sewing right to the end easy.
Join the eight points together in 4 pairs, press seams, then two halves and press seams, ensuring you leave the 1/4″ opening at the start of the seam and sewing right to the end (the centre of the star).
When sewing the two halves together to form the star, nest the centre seams, match and pin all points where the seams need to match and leave the 1/4″ gap at both ends.
You will have a great looking star!
Cutting the background
NOTE – If you use the amount of blue solid listed in the ingredients you will need to cut carefully to ensure you have enough left over for binding. I used 200″ of binding cut from a mix of WOF strips and half strips left over after cutting the squares. If you want all WOF binding strips ad 1/2 yard to the amount listed in the ingredients.
From the blue solid you will need to cut:
4 x 13.5″ squares
1x 20″square – crosscut this larger square into four triangles, as shown.
Joining the Background to the star
I started by sewing on the four corner squares first.
On each square mark the 1/4″ point on one corner.
Pin this point matching the centre of the X and the beginning of the seam between two star points, starting at the centre with the needle in the centre of the X and sewing out towards the star point sew one side of the square to one side of a star point. Don't forget to backstitch at the beginning of the seam.
Sew the triangle in the centre in the same way, making the point at the apex of the triangle. When pinning, ensure the point at the outside edge extends 1/4″ beyond the star point. A little more pinning may be helpful because of all the bias edges.
Repeat until all background triangles are attached.
Press the quilt top well, pressing background seams towards the centre of the quilt.
Backing, Quilting and Binding
To ensure the backing is big enough, some width needs to be added to the fabric as listed in the ingredients. You could piece a strip to be added to the side or down the centre from the leftover fabric from the bundle. I chose to embroider the name of the quilt on a strip of Bella Solid and sew this down the centre of the back.
I chose to hand quilt, using Perle Cotton in the colours listed in the garnishes. I quilted 1/4″ and 1″ inside each of the diamonds.
I did the 1/4″ line by eye and marked the 1″ line.
I echo quilted the star in the background sections with lines 1″ apart.
I bound the quilt using binding cut from 2.5″ strips. I was able to cut 3 WOF strips and 6 half-width strips.
One 45″ square quilt!

amdd - Amanda version of dd
amdd [-d] [if=input] [of=output] [bs=blocksize] [skip=count] [count=count]
Amdd provides just enough of the standard UNIX dd command for the needs of Amanda. This is handy when doing a full restore and the standard dd program has not yet been found.
Amdd also provides access to the Amanda output drivers that support various tape simulations. This may be used for debugging or to convert from one format to another.
See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda. See the OUTPUT DRIVERS section of amanda(8) for more information on the Amanda output drivers.
Turn on debugging output.
Set the output length. If the output driver limits the output size, this controls when end of tape will be simulated.
Length may have a multiplier suffix:
k -> 1024 (Kilobytes)
b -> 512 (Blocks)
M -> 1024*1024 (Megabytes)
The default is no multiplier (bytes).
Input to dd. Default is stdin.
Where to send the output of dd. Default is stdout.
Size of each record. Input records smaller than this will not be padded. Output records will be the same size as the corresponding input record. Default is 512 bytes.
Blocksize may have a multiplier suffix:
Number of records to copy. Default is all records until end of file.
Number of records to skip before copying input to output. Default is zero.

Although most investment banks in North America and Europe have already hired their 2013 summer intern classes, banks in Australia are just beginning to accept applications for their latest internship programs, and interviews are on the way. For those interested in an investment banking internship, here are five interview questions every prospective intern should be able to nail.
1. What interests you most about a career in investment banking?
This is one of the most common questions used to assess a candidate's interest in and understanding of the investment banking division. You need to be aware of the key skills and attributes demanded of professionals working in this area and be able to demonstrate examples of how you possess these skills. Be ready to articulate why you think you are a suitable candidate and what qualities you bring to the table. Candidates need to be analytical, detail-orientated, enthusiastic, hard-working and responsible. The use of examples will best illustrate this.
2. What differentiates this company from other companies you are interviewing with?
This question tests to see if you have conducted research about the industry and in particular about the firm you have applied to. As a starting point, visit the company website to learn as much as you can about the firm, its structure, divisions and core values. In terms of researching the industry, make a habit of regularly reading the financial press and keeping up to date with market trends and recent transactions. The key is to demonstrate that you have an interest in and understanding of the financial world beyond what you have learned in class. Researching the firm in this way will demonstrate to your interviewers that you have a genuine interest in the company, which is something that they will be looking for.
3. Which industry or product teams interest you and why?
There is no right or wrong answer to this question. The aim is to assess whether or not you have an understanding of how the investment banking division is broken down. In general, there are industry teams and product teams. Industry teams provide industry-specific expertise and guidance, and work with the appropriate product teams to generate ideas about potential transactions. Product teams specialize in a particular financial instrument and partner with the industry teams to execute a variety of transactions. Different people have unique reasons for joining different teams. Some may be interested in the more product focused teams such as the mergers and acquisitions team, whereas others will be more interested in a particular industry focused team, for example metals and mining.
4. Provide an example of a situation where you had to manage multiple competing deadlines? Were the deadlines met?
Multi-tasking is an important skill required in banking. Your interviewers will want you to demonstrate, using real life examples, times where you were required to carry out several tasks at once and work towards multiple deadlines. Examples can be drawn from every area – your academic work, previous work experience, as well as extra-curricular activities or voluntary work. The key will be to explain the challenging situation, how you prioritized the different tasks, actions you took towards ensuring the deadlines were met and the result or outcome of the situation. If you did not manage to meet all of the deadlines, it is important to show what you learned from this and how you would tackle a similar situation in the future.
5. Tell me about a time or a project when you faced a crisis late on a Friday night and there was no one you could contact for help or advice. What did you do?
To succeed in investment banking, the ability to work independently and respond quickly to unexpected situations is essential. This type of question is asked to see if you take a calm and practical approach under pressure. Don't forget to demonstrate your common sense, forward thinking abilities, ability to take initiative and problem-solving skills. The ability to review the situation post-crisis in order to prevent similar situations happening again would also help get you credit when answering this question.
There are numerous types of questions and variations of the above that you might come across in an interview (in fact, there are so many that it would be impossible to outline them all here). In a nutshell, it is important that you structure your answers, portray confidence and adopt an honest approach during the interview. Think about each question before responding and do not be afraid to ask for further clarification on what the interviewer is asking. If you don't know the answer, it's ok to say so but make sure you offer an alternative suggestion or point of view which demonstrates the knowledge you do have and steers the conversation in a direction that you are more equipped to answer. This will help your interviewers to see how you think on the spot. Finally, make sure you have read and understood the job description and that you are comfortable speaking in detail about anything that you have included on your resume or within your application. Good luck with your interviews!

Barbie is on the beach and she is collecting shells, because there are many of them in different colors and shapes. Barbie is putting them in a bucket and then, she will clean them and maybe, she will give them to someone.
Barbie goes to a ball with a new dress, which is wonderful with a flower in her chest. It´s sunny and hot because she doesn´t wear a coat. She is so happy and she hopes to have fun and we think so.
Barbie is walking with two friends, the beard and the horse who don´t leave her alone. We don´t know what they are looking for but maybe, it has to be very important because the night is coming and they will have to come back home.
Barbie wants to wish you happy birthday and you can do the same if you print this card and color it. Maybe, you can put it in the present or give it to your friends...this is your decision. A perfect picture for girls.
Barbie is at the beach so she is wearing shorts and a flower top...it´s very hot but our doll is happy because the sea is near. Here, we can see her while she is walking with only one shoe, maybe her foot is damaged.
This is the little Barbie and it´s different from the one that we know. It´s smaller and she has got two beautiful wings for coloring with bright colors. She lives in the forest and helps everybody who needs it.
It´s a present for her though we can say that there are three, not just one. Barbie has three cats and she is so happy because she likes animals very much. Now, she is thinking of their name. What names do you like for them?.
If you want to give a present, the birthday cake is the best gift in the world. It has many colors and flavors. This one has four candles, though you can draw many more. If it is an special party, you have to show an special dessert like this. What flavor do you like?.
It´s time to eat so if you are hungry and you don´t want to eat many calories...this is the solution. A sandwich with letucce, cheese and tomato, it´s so delicious and it´s so good for you healthy. Before eating the sandwich, you can color it if you want.
Doraemon is very happy because he is with his friends. One of them is called Nobita who is a child and a bad student. Besides, in this picture, Shizuka appears, too. She is a funny girl and, I have to say that Nobi loves her. You have to color all characters if you like them.
If you have a special party and you want to wear a mask, here you are. Nobody will know who you are, but first, you will have to print, cut and color it. It´s an easy work, but anyway you will need time to do it. Call your friends because the work is easier when you have some help.
The police is coming with a big car, which has headlights in blue and red. The policemen always go around the streets for catching thieves, so our town is safer. Now, we can print this car and then, color it. It´s so easy and funny...Try it.

WORCESTER, Mass. - The Engineers knew coming into Saturday afternoon's match with Clark that the Cougars would have revenge on their minds following last year's defeat at the hands of Tech in the NEWMAC semifinal. Clark (4-0-1; 1-0 NEWMAC) ultimately got its revenge, using two first half goals to defeat MIT (3-2-0; 0-1 NEWMAC), 2-0. It was the first NEWMAC game of the season for each side.
The winning goal came less than one minute into the game when Stillman Shaw's cross found the head of Mike Trobagis, who finished for his team-leading third goal of the season. Trobagis has the unique distinction of having all three of his goals this year ultimately be game-winners.
Clark padded its lead in the 40th minute when Lino Goncalves fed Nicholas Voyiatzis to make it 2-0.
The Engineers threatened the Cougar net throughout the second half, but were stifled by the strong play of Clark keeper Matt Talbot, who became the first net-minder to shutout MIT this season. Danny Perry's blast just minutes into the second stanza went narrowly over before James Zorich's effort in the 72nd minute was denied by Talbot, who made two saves in earning the victory.
Tech keeper Tom Caldwell stopped two shots while taking the loss.
MIT will look to bounce back when it hosts Amherst College on Wednesday, Sept. 20 in a match that will kickoff at 4:30 p.m. Clark takes its undefeated record to Fitchburg State on the same day, with a scheduled start time of 4:00 p.m.

After an extremely successful season in both the racing world and in sales with the first 450 SX-F Factory Edition, KTM took a long look at the model and looked for ways to improve the US National championship winning machine. As the most powerful bike in the class, there would be no need to redo the engine. Instead, they focused on handling improvements, which comes by dropping a pound and a half from last year's release.
Race ready in every way, the bike becomes the icon of the Austrian brand's motocross division. It, along with the 2013 Red Bull KTM race team, team was unveiled to the press at the team's Murrieta, CA, headquarters.

Real Estate 360 Live With Louis Cammarosano 4/30/12
On Monday April 30, 2012, Louis Cammarosano, General Manager of HomeGain, was a guest on the Real Estate 360 Live radio show on The Big Talker 1580 WHFS AM, hosted by Ryan Sloper.
Listen to the show.
Part 1 (15:27)
Louis and Ryan discuss Ben Bernanke's recent comments relating to keeping interest rates low for an extended period of time. Ryan notes that interest rates are kept low out of necessity to keep the US interest payment obligations from being too expensive. Louis adds that low interest rates also help keep the banks solvent. Louis notes that the policy statements don't refer to these two points but rather state that low interest rates are in place to help the economy and consumers.
Louis notes that low interest rates are not good for consumers as they create an environment that does not encourage savings, so people are almost forced to put their savings into the stock market. Low interest rates also encourage consumers to take on more debt which is good for banks and not necessarily good for consumers. Ryan notes that loans are not available to small businesses that want to take advantage of the low interest rates.
Louis notes that the Fed policy of keeping interest rates low is market manipulation as interest rates are not driven by the market. Louis notes that if one can take advantage of these artificially low interest rate and lock in a long term mortgage you can hedge your future shelter costs against future increases. Louis notes that food and energy are stripped out of the official inflation rate.
Louis notes that the only reason the Federal Government can continue to run up deficits is because the Federal Reserve purchases the debt and that the Federal Reserve purchases 61% of all US Treasury issuance. Louis notes the Fed buys the debt with money that they print out of thin air which devalues the dollar.
Louis notes that Paul Krugman believes that the government should be borrowing more money, and the Fed should be printing more money to pay for the borrowing to help the economy, rather than encouraging savings and production. Louis notes that if printing money was the solution to economic woes, all countries would just print more and all economic problems would be solved.
Louis notes that wealth is not created from the production and spending of money but rather from the savings and investing of money and production. Ryan notes Ron Paul's views on monetary policy. Louis notes that gold and silver hold their value. Louis notes that Congress ceded their authority on money to the Federal Reserve, a private bank and also notes Congress has also ceded to the President certain war powers.
Louis notes that Ron Paul's position is not to run the economy or regulate people's lives but rather to let people and the economy sort themselves out. Louis notes that most politicians make promises to get elected and that its difficult to get elected without a scheme.

Part with the pixie cut and forget all about Victoria Beckham's famous asymmetrical style—Jennifer Aniston's brilliant bob is the new 'do. The celeb recently said so long to her sun-kissed beachy waves and is now rockin' a blunt above-the-shoulder hairstyle with wispy thick bangs.
OK! News: Celeb Swimsuit Inspiration
Jen was seen wearing the new style on the set of Squirrels to the Nuts, a movie starring Owen Wilson and other notable Hollywood all-stars. Could this the new Rachel? Unlike many celebs who have lightened up their locks in the past few weeks, Jennifer took her strands to a darker shade. It's a bit lighter than the super deep brunette hue she wore in Horrible Bosses, but we're definitely digging it. What do you think this 'do will be nicknamed? Get to thinking!

And that brings me to another question. Why do churches build huge, awesome gyms and furnish them sparing no expense while only half-way furnishing the interior of the actual church building and sub an Allen for a pipe organ?!!?

Ex Aedibus,
Since I am acquainted with Bp. Dan, and quite like and respect him, I took particular interest in finding this picture, and I showed it to my wife. Poor thing, she had never seen the PB's "Purple Haze" Vestments, and literally could not stop laughing. And after that, a rousing chorus of "one of these things is not like the other".
The one on the far right is too plain to be all that bad. Reminds me of some old B movies of a Robinhood sort.

Yes, ANY Ebay link on EB will work. If you click on an auction in the FS/FT pages, any Ebay link in the forums, or even one of the Ebay banners posted in discretionary places on the site and then bid and win on ANY item on Ebay, we will get a kickback This does mean that if you're planning to buy that car on Ebay Motors, you can click from a link on EB > search the auction you were planning to bid on > place bid and win > help EB in the process.
Takes an extra step or two, but a couple of mouse clicks to help the site (and we get $ that would go to Ebay instead - nothing extra to the buyer or seller), why not do it!?!

In the typical conversation about HIV patient care, we talk about antiretrovirals; we talk about viral loads and CD4+ cell counts; we talk about the vast constellation of HIV- and HIV treatment-related complications that can impact our patients' well-being and affect the success of their therapy. In other words, we talk a lot about our patients' physiological health. We don't talk near as much about their mental health.
But if any of us have illusions that a patient's psychological state plays anything less than a critical role in his or her HIV care, and that health care providers do not have the power to dramatically improve that state, then we're due for a little re-education. In this episode of HIV Management Today, we discuss the extent to which mental health is inextricably tied to clinical health in HIV care, and what simple steps providers can begin to take to make mental health a more prominent part of the care they provide.
Joining us for this discussion are Francine Cournos, M.D., a professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University in New York City, who has been working in HIV and mental health since 1983 and who speaks and writes widely on the subject; and David Fawcett, Ph.D., L.C.S.W., a therapist in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., who has been working with HIV-infected clients since the 1980s -- and who has been living with HIV himself for more than 25 years.
We begin our conversation by talking about why there appears to be such a chasm between clinical care and mental health care in HIV.
Table of Contents
Francine Cournos: Mental illness has been separated from other medical illnesses. And you could understand why; mental health is on a continuum. And when you get to real mental illness, the severe forms of it, they're not that much different from medical illnesses, but they're highly stigmatized.
Even outside of HIV, if you look at the World Health Organization: It's been very frustrating for the World Health Organization to bring attention to people with mental disorders, despite many studies that show how disabling they are. For example, severe major depression is as disabling as heart failure and many other medical illnesses. But you can't get the same focus on these disorders.
Most of your mental illnesses are also, in some sense, medical illnesses. What I mean by that is that they have many physical manifestations. Here in this country we tend to make a strong mind/body distinction, which probably is somewhat false when it comes to severe illness. So, for example, severe anxiety disorders: Your heart is beating fast; your blood pressure may go up; you're sweating. Or, for example, in major depression: You're fatigued; you can't sleep properly; you don't eat properly. There's a whole list of medical components to it.
So I think it's important to say that mental health is not apart from other medical conditions you need to think about in HIV-positive people.
Myles Helfand: Dr. Fawcett, would you concur with that? Have we divested mental health too much from physical health?
David Fawcett: I absolutely concur with that. We have made this mind/body distinction, especially in our culture, as Fran noted. And that allows a lot of providers -- and society in general -- to turn a blind eye toward some of the things that are maybe less convenient or more difficult to approach.
I think oftentimes the medical community, at least those treating HIV, tend to look at the objective data; they look at the raw values; and because of time shortages they may choose to prescribe an antidepressant or an antianxiety medication, and that's the end of it.
But, unfortunately, from the patient point of view, that's not the end of it. They get into all kinds of issues that often go unaddressed. And there is a real lack of resources for people to turn to.
This is important across the entire spectrum of HIV. It's putting people at higher risk for acquiring the virus initially: There's mood disorders, or meth addiction, or a history of trauma. And then, at every stage of the illness, from the diagnosis to beginning meds to the first opportunistic infection to overcoming stigma. Each of those presents a real opportunity for any kind of mental illness to flare, and to really complicate the entire picture. So it's really hard to disentangle mental illness from the physiological process, especially with AIDS.

Ariz. AG wants armed school staff
Arizona's top law enforcement official wants to allow one staffer in each of the state's schools to carry a gun, a proposal pitched as a "golden mean" between allowing all teachers to carry weapons and doing nothing.
Attorney General Tom Horne, a Republican elected in 2010 with the motto "Defending Arizona," has proposed a voluntary program in which every school could nominate one person to receive free firearms training provided by local sheriffs and the attorney general's office. The individual would be allowed to keep a weapon in a locked place somewhere on campus.
Story Continued Below
"The ideal solution would be to have an armed Police Officer in each school," Horne said in a statement on Wednesday. "…It may not be possible to afford a Police Officer in every school. In that case, the next best solution is to have one person in the school trained to handle firearms, to handle emergency situations, and possessing a firearm in a secure location. This proposal is analogous to arming pilots on planes."
Republican state lawmakers throughout the country have proposed allowing concealed carry on school grounds or arming some teachers in the wake of the Newtown Massacre, which left 20 children dead at a Connecticut elementary school. But teachers' unions have aggressively fought such proposals, with two top national unions saying the focus should be on "ways to keep all guns off school property."
The NRA has proposed placing an armed guard in every school in the country.
Arizona has some of the nation's weakest gun laws. It is one of only two states — the other is neighboring Utah — with scores of zero from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
A press release announcing the plan argues it represents a "golden mean" between "doing nothing" and allowing another massacre and arming all teachers, "which could create more dangers than it prevents."
Ariz. House Majority Leader David Gowan will introduce the proposal in the legislature, according to the press release, which also said Horne's plan had the cooperation of three county sheriffs.
Horne previously served as the state's schools Superintendent from 2003 to 2011.

Republic Services Inc., a provider of waste and recycling services, and RecycleBank, the rewards program that motivates individuals and their communities to make greener choices, have signed an agreement to jointly deploy RecycleBank to 1 million households in the United States.
The companies' million-home deployment represents the largest commitment to incentive-based recycling programs in North American history and will provide a major impetus to municipalities to help residents do more for the environment and by significantly increasing curbside recycling.
"We expect that this will encourage people to recycle more and more people to recycle," said Gary Sova, executive vice president, sales and marketing for Republic Services. "With more than 2,000 local and national relevant brands and reward partners participating, there is literally an option for everyone and we are excited about this mutually beneficial partnership."
Customers of Republic Services and their local service divisions who participate in the program can earn points based on their recycling activity. Those points are redeemable at local and national retailers, restaurants, pharmacies, grocers, movie theatres and more.
Matthew Tucker, president of RecycleBank. "With the tough economy we are experiencing, these savings translate into real value for families and local businesses. Plus, it's nice to be rewarded for doing something good."
RecycleBank has proven to more than double recycling tonnages in hundreds of communities across 25 states and in the United Kingdom. To date, Republic and RecycleBank have successfully partnered in more than 20 cities, serving more than 350,000 households.

New WhiteHouse.gov makes no mention of climate change, LGBT issues
The official White House website changed significantly on Inauguration Day
The official White House website changed significantly on Inauguration Day
Each administration since President Bill Clinton has maintained a presence on WhiteHouse.gov.
President Donald Trump's version, which went live almost immediately after he became the 45th Commander-in-Chief, was quickly criticized by many eagle-eyed observers on social media.
The new site lacks dedicated pages pertaining to climate change, LGBT issues, education and more:
Changes in links and file structure aren't a surprise. What happened on the server was that the Obama Administration's files were archived and replaced with those constructed in advance by the Trump Transition Team.
But what's also true is that a search for "lgbt" turns up nothing. A query for "climate change" pulls up one result, a biography of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's wife. In that case, the words are separated by several paragraphs and lack any relationship.
Obama's version of the White House website can now be found at ObamaWhiteHouse.Archives.gov.
There does seem to still be a link between the new WhiteHouse.gov and Obama's archive. Some URLs left over from Obama's version of the site, like his page on the Iran Deal, redirect to the Obama Administration's new web home, while others, such as those pictured above, do not.

Here's a bit of mystery for you, the sporty motormen at the M3Post forum captured an image of what appears to be an E93 M3 convertible. But this ain't your mama's as-of-yet-unreleased M3. This one comes complete with 21" AC Schnitzer wheels and the license plate is from Heinsberg and the shots are from Aachen, where AC Schnitzer is based. But this isn't just a regular 3-series convertible mistaken for an M3, this is definitely an M.
Given the lack of badges, the proximity and the wheels we're guessing that this is an early M3 convertible given to the folks at AC Schnitzer in advance to pretune for when the M3 convertible makes an official debut. (h/t Jason from Bimmerpost.com) [M3Post]


text: Rusty, I guess my post wasn't clear enough. I am working with a software vendor. They need to launch several different programs that interact through MPI. You can do this in PVM, you can do this with LAM/MPI, but you can't do this with MPIch. Or I should say, I don't think it can be done with MPIch. The folks at this company looked into the matter and independently reached the same conclustion. As I see it, with MPIch, I must have everything in a single program. Yes, the programs can execite readically different pathways so in most cases, this doesn't restrict the algorithms I can work with. There are other engineering issues, however, that sometimes force me to run completely different programs that cooperate through MPI. This is the situation the un-named software vendor is faced with. So that is is what I meant by my general Multiple Program Multiple Data (or MPMD) comment. Does this make sense? Did I get something wrong and it is indeed the case that MPIch can handle this situation? I'd love to be wrong as it would make my life simpler if I could do everything with only one version of MPI. --Tim -----Original Message----- From: Rusty Lusk [mailto:lusk at mcs.anl.gov] Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2001 11:15 AM To: Mattson, Timothy G Cc: 'Chris Richard Adams'; Beowulf (E-mail) Subject: Re: MPI/Beowulf vs. SM Programming/OpenMP | A general MPMD algorithm with lots of assynchronous events would be hard to | do with OpenMP.

Don't know about you, but I was feeling a little bit left out while Barry Bonds bore down on Babe Ruth the past couple of months. How could you help but pine for those halcyon days when Baltimore was -- for a couple of months -- the center of the steroid universe.
Now, you don't have to.
Former Orioles pitcher Jason Grimsley, with his tawdry admissions and redacted deposition, has re-established Charm City as the East Coast capital of baseball's still-mushrooming performance-enhancing drug scandal, and I have only one thing to say: Baltimore: Get In On It! Baseball's new Grim Reaper named names for a federal investigator and now it's only a matter of time before those names -- carefully obscured in the damning documents -- begin to trickle out, whisper by whisper, to indict team after team, probably starting with one near you.
Sadly, it's all starting to come together. Rafael Palmeiro tested positive for stanozolol last season and drew Orioles teammate Miguel Tejada into the scandal by speculating to congressional investigators that he might have been the victim of a tainted vial of vitamin B-12 brought in from the Dominican Republic.
Now, Grimsley, who was in that same clubhouse, tells the lead investigator from the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative scandal that "boatloads" of major league players still are using illegal drugs, particularly human growth hormone (hGH), and tied the rampant use of amphetamines (up until testing for them began last year) to Latin players who can get them more easily in their home countries.
Let me count the ways this is going to carry Major League Baseball further into the abyss, from the obvious legal and political implications to the cultural tension that it is certain to create in major league clubhouses that are increasingly populated with foreign-born players.
Now, every Latin player has been unfairly identified as a possible drug smuggler, compounding the cultural challenges every one of them faces attempting to assimilate into American society.
No doubt, it's easier to get amphetamines in, say, Mexico than it might be in Montana, but anyone who thinks that a millionaire major league ballplayer would have had any trouble whatsoever acquiring them in the United States needs to spend 10 minutes on any urban street corner or in the hallway of any suburban high school to find out otherwise.
Grimsley may well have been telling the truth that some Latin players are bringing drugs into major league clubhouses, but let's be careful not to look for a convenient scapegoat that diverts attention from the real issue that now attacks the credibility of the national pastime.
The Grimsley revelations should not be surprising to anyone. Soon after MLB imposed its strictest steroid penalties, experts predicted that players would move quickly to hGH, because the new drug policy doesn't allow for blood testing, which is the only way to detect the synthetic pituitary hormone.
Amphetamines have been a staple in clubhouses for generations. That wasn't even a well-kept secret until the 1984 Pittsburgh cocaine scandal focused attention on recreational drug use among major league players. Players routinely got "beaned up" for games, but the practice was pushed further underground by the increasing involvement of federal law enforcement in policing professional sports.
Baseball's new drug-testing program undoubtedly has caused a decrease in the use of restricted stimulants the past year or so, but it's only a matter of time before some new chemical is developed that will have the same effect without being detectable.
That's why MLB's battle to stay ahead of the science will never be completely effective. There will always be rogue scientists to engineer new molecules or unscrupulous people who find ways to use legitimate medications for illegitimate performance-enhancing means.
It's not about medical ethics. It's about personal ethics. It's about a seedy culture that has developed during the big-money era of professional sports and convinced athletes that it's OK to do whatever it takes to be the best and get the biggest contract.
In some cases, it's a little more complicated than that, because we (and Grimsley) are talking about a sport that has welcomed a huge influx of foreign-born players, many of whom come from backgrounds of abject poverty and some might feel obligated to do whatever is necessary to get that money to support their families.
The true challenge will be engineering a new ethical construct that will create the opposite kind of peer pressure in the clubhouses of the next generation.
Maybe the new wave of shame that Grimsley and his friends have brought upon the sport will turn out to be a positive thing, since he now has made it impossible for us to blame the steroid era on Barry Bonds and a small cadre of bigger-than-life cartoon characters. Grimsley is just a banged-up pitcher, not a record-chasing home run king. He's Everyman, which has got to be a frightening concept for Major League Baseball.
He's the canary in the mineshaft, and isn't that a double-edged metaphor after he sang so loudly that now everyone has to listen. firstname.lastname@example.com

When the buzzer sounded at the end of regulation, it drowned out the echo from Lincoln College's potential game-winning shot. When the buzzer sounded at the end of overtime, the Wildcat's go ahead attempt just missed the basket.
Nobody had given the NJCAA Division III team any chance at winning against a pair of junior college division one teams at the Westchester Community College Thanks-giving Tournament, but the Wildcats stayed within 10 points in one game and nearly won the second.
For Wildcat coach Preston Beverly, it was a good measure for his team's potential.
"We had a shot to win at the end of regulation, and we had another shot to win in overtime," he said. "They were very difficult shots, but that was the purpose of going to this tournament. We want to know how we fit in and what we need to work on so we can win these sorts of games in the future."
The Wildcats are still fighting for respect in the junior college ranks despite setting team records for wins over the last few seasons and earning a postseason bid last year. Lincoln has yet to post a winning record at the end of the year, but that might be in their sights this winter.
The Wildcats have three more games before their midseason break. They are enjoying an 8-4 record with a 7-2 conference mark. Could this be the breakout year that fans have been expecting?
"I'm pretty happy with where we are right now," said the first year coach, "but I'm not satisfied."
Offense was the key as the Wildcats began the week at UConn-Avery Point on Monday, Nov. 26.
Jordan Taylor paced the offense with 21 points. Dairyon Davis scored 12 points. Kyre Jackson finished with 11 points and five rebounds as the Wildcats surged to an 11-point lead at the break. Lincoln players shot over 50 percent from the floor (36-for-71) and they out-rebounded the Huskies, 34-19.
"We were a little bit bigger than them, and we were able to get it inside a little bit more," said Beverly. "They made a really solid run, but we were able to withstand that and go on our own run. We led the entire game."
UConn struggled at times despited three players in double digits. Keith Porter and Ryan Wallack scored 15 points apiece. Malcolm Simmons added 13 points, bu tnobody else managed more than two baskets against the Wildcat defense.
Jackson scored four steals for the Wildcats. Jalen David forced three steals. Nine different players forced turnovers as Lincoln rallied for 17 steals in the game.
That victory was the team's seventh in nine conference games. The two losses came by a total of three points. The early schedule has proven that the Wildcats could be competitive against ranked teams, bigger teams, and more established teams, but how would they handle scholarship teams?
That was precisely why Beverly scheduled the holiday tournament in Westchester against a field of NJCAA division I teams.
"It's like the old saying that you should put your money where your mouth is. This was a chance to go out and compete against two very good teams with scholarship athletes," said the coach. "It's a good chance to see where we are, and this was really indicative of what we'll have to face in our regional tournament with back to back games. If we're lucky to make the national tournament, we want to see where we are."
Mission accomplished.
Westchester battled to a 34-26 lead at the break, but Lincoln matched them point-for-point in the second half. Damien Davis led the Vikings with 24 points. Joel Angus scored 21, and Keith Thomas added 11.
Still, Lincoln defenders allowed just one other Viking to score in the second half, and the Wildcats kept Westchester scoreless from three point range in the game.
"The difference came down to the post," said Beverly. "We have really experienced post players, but when it comes down to scholarship teams they are a little bit bigger. We have 6-6 players, but they are 6-8 and 6-9. They had guys coming off the bench. Although we were able to compete and do some really nice things, they were able to out-rebound us all day."
David led the way for the Wildcats with 15 points, and Chris Brown scored 10 points off the bench. Jackson finished with nine points and five rebounds, and the Wildcats kept the game within 10 points in a 75-65 loss.
That momentum carried into the final contest.
On Friday, Jackson battled in the paint for 22 points and 12 rebounds. David finished with 16 points, and Lockhart posted 14 points. Michael Campbell scored 11 points off the bench, and Davis secured eight points with 12 boards.
Lincoln led by nine at the half, but fell in overtime, 83-32.
"We should have gotten that second one, but it was a great performance by our guys to play against two scholarship teams," said Beverly. "We were able to compete, and I think that's a testament to our players and their mentality. We're not satisfied, and those two games really helped prove that. We think that, on any given night, we can play with and beat anybody."
Lincoln has three more games before the semester break. They have already secured a winning record going into the second half, but Beverly still thinks that the best is yet to come.
"As a team, we aren't any where near satisfied," said the coach, "and that hunger is what's been driving us."
Holding their own; Wildcats keep pace in conference; stay competitive in D-I tournament
