The Fund for Gender Equality (FGE) has achieved significant global results in its first and second grant-making cycles:
- Nearly 10 million beneficiaries have been reached;
- More than 23,000 women have seen their incomes increase;
- Nearly 3,000 women gained leadership positions in the institutions that affect their lives;
- Some 660 women were elected into national and local government positions;
- At least 109 local and national gender-responsive policies raised by FGE programmes have been approved and adopted;
- More than 9,000 women now own and control property and productive assets; and
- More than 8,000 women have accessed credit and loans to support their businesses.
Moreover, significant results have been achieved by grantees at the country level:
- In Brazil, a partnership between the NGO SOS Corpo – Instituto Feminista para la Democracia and the Secretariat for Women's Policies resulted in the creation and passing of a new bill ensuring equal rights for domestic workers. Consequently, 6 million domestic workers now have the same rights, protections and access to services as other workers.
- Indian NGO Gender at Work, through its programme "Dalit Women's Livelihoods Accountability Initiative," has raised the awareness of more than 100,000 scheduled caste women about their labour rights, leading to a 30 per-cent increase in the number of these women who claimed their work entitlements. Women employed as supervisors also increased from 1.2 per cent to 21 per cent.
- To address the absence of youth from public life and the lack of youth structure in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), KULT Association in partnership with BH Experts Association worked with young women from disadvantaged rural municipalities to create an outreach and advocacy network. Though this network, they were able to partner with the government and implement youth-focused Gender Action Plans. The network also became the largest virtual association of the BiH youth community.
- In Uganda, the work of the Forum on Women and Democracy on gender-responsive budgeting resulted in the allocation of USD 30 million for piped water supply systems in rural northern Uganda, benefiting more than 7.8 million women.
- In Morocco, the Agence du Sud supported 600 women in the rural oasis communities to engage in local public life, by providing assets and credit to 90 women entrepreneurs who produced and sold 1.8 tons of capers.

A masseur at a club in Jersey City, NJ, was arrested and charged with criminal sexual contact after he allegedly told a female member he was homosexual and proceeded to massage her breasts and buttocks.
The woman filed charges March 22 after she learned that the man was in a relationship with a woman. The manager at Club H Fitness also told her the massage was inappropriate, according to the The Jersey Journal.
The 30-year-old masseur allegedly asked the 20-year-old woman—whose boyfriend works at the club—if she wanted her glutes and breasts massaged, indicating that it was a regular practice. After she consented, the masseur removed all her clothing and proceeded with the massage, the newspaper reported.
The woman, who admitted to feeling uncomfortable during the massage, later told her father about what occurred. He called the club and the police, charges were filed and a warrant for the masseur's arrest was filed that night. After spending time in jail, the masseur was released on his own recognizance.
A massage therapist at a nearby salon in New Jersey told The Jersey Journal that it is not unusual for massage therapists to massage the buttocks or glutes, provided that the client consents. A certification that requires certain course work is needed to perform breast massages, he said.
"They (massage therapists) are not allowed to touch that (breasts) unless they are certified," the therapist told the newspaper. "Whether the massage therapist is gay or straight doesn't matter."

Hello Hi-Lo Readers Theatre Math/Sanders
By Nancy I. Sanders
Readers Theatre Math offers a proven way for teachers to build reading fluency in their classrooms, even if students do not all read at the same level. The book offers 15 readers theatre plays, each of which includes various levels of readability within one script. The plays thus provide lower-level readers the opportunity to follow along with accelerated reading parts, building confidence by reading aloud at their own levels. Each play includes speakers for three different grade levels of readability: 4th grade and lower, 5th-6th grade, and 7th-8th grade. Concepts are presented so that they are fluid among these grade levels. Taking a cross-curricular approach, the scripts reinforce key math concepts and standards-based math skills taught in the middle grades, such as order of operations, fractions, inequalities, positive and negative numbers, and graphing on a coordinate plane. Each play includes extended activities that will help the teacher incorporate the math concept into the classroom.

Tear-down: Apple TV an infiltrator, not profit generator (photos)With a suggested retail price of $300, you'd expect iPod maker Apple Inc. to pocket some hefty change from the sale of each new Apple TV set-top media box.
Not so, according to a recent product tear-down by market research firm iSuppli, which notes that the Cupertino-based company is moving the streaming media devices at just above break-even once miscellaneous charges are thrown into the mix.
After tearing-down an Apple TV and itemizing the cost of each internal component, iSuppli arrived at an approximate BOM —or Bill of Materials —of $237. That amounts to a meager 20.7 percent gross margin, the firm said, well below the 40 to 50 percent margins Apple has been generating through sales of its iPod digital music players. The BOM estimate also does not account for other costs, including cables, packaging and marketing expenses, meaning that Apples actual margin is likely somewhat smaller.
"This suggests that Apple is taking a market-penetration strategy for the Apple TV, rather than the simple profit-per-unit approach it has always used in the past, said Andrew Rassweiler, teardown services manager and senior analyst for the firm. "The Apple TV itself is a very low-cost design, primarily due to its use of a trailing-edge microprocessor."
With Apple TV not expected to generate much profit, Apple's goal for the product appears to be one of infiltrating the living room with its highly-successful iTunes digital media service. It's a high risk gamble, says iSuppli, noting that previous attempts by companies to deliver Internet content to the television have failed miserably.
To his credit, however, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs recently categorized Apple TV as a company "hobby" rather than a business like the Mac, iPod, and soon, iPhone.
So if Apple isn't seeing high returns from Apple TV, who is? It could be the Mac maker's primary silicon provider. With the microprocessor and associated core logic, Intel accounts for the largest single bundle of dollar value of any component supplier in the Apple TV, according to the tear-down. The combined estimated value of the Intel microprocessor and the northbridge and southbridge core logic chips is about $68.
In terms of semiconductor components, other major cost drivers include the Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), which has an estimated value of $15, the unit's 40GB Fujitsu 2.5-inch hard disk drive ($37), a Broadcom Mini PCI-E WLAN Board ($19), and 36W power supply from Delta ($7.25).

Despite some limitations and an initially undefined product identity, iSuppli believes that Apple's successful track record with the iPod and iTunes makes it likely that the company will be able to sell a significant number of Apple TVs this year and next.
The biggest challenge may be lining up compelling content, according to the firm.
"Apple has good access to content, but there will be lots of complications," said Mark Kirstein, vice president, multimedia content and services for iSuppli. "Already Starz Entertainment has sued Disney, because it has exclusive television distribution rights for certain Disney properties. This wasn't an issue when Disney licensed to iTunes for personal media players, but becomes one for TV-based distribution."
Still, the firm believes Apple TV shipments will reach about 1 million units during 2007, and 1.4 million units in 2008.
"Theres a slew of these Digital Media Adapter devices on the market today that offer similar capabilities to the Apple TV," said Kirstein. "Yet, nobody has found the secret sauce to get more than a few hundred thousand units shipped. However, if any company can find the right formula for success, it's Apple."
For those interested, we've published an exploded view and some additional shots of the Apple TV's primary logic board on the next page.

The Mt Washington Valley Ice Fest will be here before you know it. Make your plans now!
It is amazing to me seeing the relatively small things people get really butt hurt about in the context of the big picture. I think if you moved the pencil on their desk two inches they would scream.
The AMC may have done some of the work you are talking about but they are not the land managers/owners. Rumney is USFS and Franconia ridge I believe is on State park and USFS land. Trail work does not necessarily go by the same standards as rock climbing yet the process and overall goal is often the same for better or worse.
Dave- i gotta agree with you , esp about those fucking huts, a long time issue IMO. I can't sleep in certain areas, but the AMC can have a building and charge $$$$ for it.I do not agree with your statement about the great Quarries though !!! What a treasure
I'm not sure this belongs here so Al can move it if he wants. I recently observed the trail work at Rumney which included cutting steps in slabs that a 4 year old can climb and although it really pissed me of I figured most people wanted Rumney to be an outdoor gym so I just accepted it. Why is it nescessary to do this in an area that is about climbing. If you are in such piss poor shape that you need steps cut in a 10 foot 2nd class slab to reach the crag please stay away, you need to find another sport!

About Carpet Beetles:
The beetles are fairly small, measuring 1.5 to 4mm in length. The body is strongly convex, rather like the ladybird beetle and is characterised by the pattern of yellow, black and whitish scales on the body.
Between 20 and 100 eggs are laid by the female during spring and early summer on furs, woollens and any dried materials of animal origin.
When the larvae hatch out, they are hairy and brown with three bunches of golden hairs on the abdomen. They normally reach a length of 4-5mm. They tend to avoid the light and, when disturbed, curl up into a ball.
The eggs hatch between 10 to 35 days depending on the temperature. The larvae can last at least a year depending on the quality of the food supply. The adult beetle lives from 7-41 days.
The adults appear in April, May and June and their resulting larvae hibernate during the following winter pupating during the latter part of February and March.
On emergence the adult beetles seek the light so they usually fly to the windows. They fly to light coloured flowers where they feed on nectar and pollen. After mating, the females enter houses during late summer and autumn and lay their eggs in birds' nests in roof voids and other suitable places. The larvae feed on feathers and wool soiled with excrement.

Last spring was a special one for the Bishop Hendricken baseball team. Led by a strong group of seniors – five of whom would go on to earn All-State honors – the Hawks reclaimed the state championship.
Last summer, spring quickly became a memory.
Hendricken turned the page and fielded a young American Legion team that blossomed into one of the best in the state.
That was the first step on the road to 2013.
Now those same players are approaching the real starting line, and they're ready to take center stage.
"We lost a lot of key guys, but we have a lot back who saw some time because of injuries or because they earned it," said head coach Ed Holloway. "We've got six guys that got some playing time last year and performed well. They were just playing behind a bunch of great players."
The losses of those great players would be tough for any program to sustain, even Hendricken. Tom Pannone was a Major League draft pick, while Billy Walker, Bobby Indeglia, Rich Bacon, Reed Gamache and P.J. Murray have gone onto the college baseball ranks.
But the new Hawks are ready for their day in the sun – and Hendricken is excited to see them take it.
"I think we have a lot of potential," Holloway said.
It starts with the one player who's truly a proven commodity. Senior pitcher Mike King has been a standout since his sophomore year and has committed to play at Boston College in 2014.
The pitching staff is full of inexperience behind him, but King's presence alone makes a world of difference.
"Mike King is back, and he's a key for us," Holloway said. "He's got to be the guy for us and get us a win each week."
The rest of the staff exemplifies what Hendricken is about this year – players who are finally getting an opportunity to prove themselves. Senior Jake Newberry came up big for the Hawks in the playoffs last year after seeing limited time in the regular season. He's back, along with seniors Dillon Manfredi, Bobby Lineberger, Matt Ciociola and Dan Thadeio. All of them have seen innings, whether it's for the Hendricken varsity, junior varsity or a summer team, but big varsity innings will be new.
The same is true for juniors Danny Miller and Anthony Graziano, and sophomore Mike McCaffrey, who made the jump to legion ball last summer after his freshman year.
"We've got a lot of guys who want to step up," Holloway said.
The lineup has a little more experience, but will still be driven by players who have been waiting their turn.
Senior Nick Boland and sophomore Gian Martellini are the frontrunners for the starting catcher's job, with juniors Josh Rego and Rob Fredette also in the mix. Senior Jarek Krajewski and sophomore Billy Keegan are competing at first base.
At second, the Hawks will look to senior Matt Murphy, one of the players who contributed when he got a chance last year. Murphy started the first game of the state championship series and had three hits. Junior Ryan Rotondo is also in the second base mix.
At shortstop, senior Lou Umberto is ready to take over for Bacon. Umberto was the starting second baseman all last season, providing strong defense and chipping in offensively. He'll be a bigger cog this year. Sophomore John Toppa can also play shortstop.
Senior Ed Markowski, who played sparingly as a junior but had a big summer, is set to take over at third base, with Miller also in the mix.
Senior Rob Henry will anchor the outfield from center after forcing his way into a part-time gig last year. King will likely play right field when he's not pitching, with junior Brady Chant also there. Toppa and Sam Boulanger are in the mix for left field.
All in all, the Hawks are as light on varsity experience as they've been in some time, but Holloway thinks they're fully capable of chasing the same goals.
"We want to play well, get better as the year goes on and play our best ball at playoff time," he said.
Hendricken will open the regular season on Monday with a 4 p.m. game at Lincoln.

Apple Bought Lala To Shut It Down?
from the can't-have-competition... dept
Instead, it looks like Apple bought Lala to shut it down. Just five months or so after purchasing it, Apple has announced that Lala will be closing at the end of May, pissing off lots of users. Now, it's entirely possible (or even likely) that Apple is timing the shutdown with a launch of a totally new streaming iTunes-in-the-cloud type service, but it does seem weird to buy a company and shut it down so quickly, and raises questions of whether or not the purchase was really about building out Apple's offerings, or about shutting down a nascent competitor just before Apple launched its own version. Also, if the plan is to launch its own version, why "shut down" Lala? Why not just transfer them over to the new service?
In the meantime, Spotify still hasn't launched in the US, but you would think that now might be a good time to step in and sign up disgruntled Lala listeners -- before Apple really enters the market...

Excellent thread
My favorite music is Rap & Drum and Bass
Here are my favorite rappers and crews, I only really listen to good lyrical bars or really tasty tunes
Redman & Method man
Dr Dre & Eminem
Notorious & Tupac
Public enemy & Mos def
Immortal technique & Army of the Pharaohs
Wu-tang (All of there members I love, but Gza is my favorite out of them because of his tune Knock Knock)
Cunninlynguists & Gang Starr
Dmx & Busta Rhymes
KRS One & Styles P
JMT & Jus Allah (Vinnie Paz from JMT is one of the best lyricist for rap out there)
Sage Francis & A Tribe Called Quest
Those are the most well known rappers I listen to,all the rest are really quiet underground or only done a few collaborations with some other artists. Because I live in England I also listen to English rap. Il name a few good ones.
JME & Skepta (Brothers both really good)
Roll Deep (Crew but really good)
Lethal Bizzle & Ghetts ( The movement)
Professor Green & Dizze Rascal ( Old school stuff that is)
Frisco & Foreign Beggars
Wretch 32 & D Double E

Beezwax & Genesis Elijah
Devlin & Kyza
Those are the rappers which you will be able to find quiet easily I know more but you have to be in England to get a hold of there amazing Cd's and Bars
Realise that English rap is called Grime so its probably not going to appeal to you as much as it does for me. But give it a try were pretty good, Better then some of the main stream rappers, but they got the money and these guys done . Take notice that there are some bad tunes that these artist have made but try to look around more, if you want me to tell you the best songs which they have made I will just Msg me Enjoy and I hope I helped some of you young enthusiasts to get into Rap a bit more

Ever since Samurai Champloo, I got really into Nujabes and Nomak and expanded on instrumental hip hop from there. Those two weight heavily in my favorite producers though. Give their albums a listen if you haven't. I love the songs Luv (Sic.) Pt. 3 with Shing02 (Nujabes) and Nomak's Sanctuary off of his album Calm. They also helped introduce me to Substantial (who I believe is an Anime fan). He's got a great flow and subject wise, is really positive and meaningful. Check out the Substantial/Burns collaboration.
Just saw Cunninlynguists live and they're definitely are live. Great show and their latest couple albums (Strange Journey 1 & 2 are excellent). Kno is an incredible producer.
CYNE is probably one of my favorite groups that are considered "intelligent hip hop". Great flow and beats behind them (Evolution Fight & Time Being are great albums). They really strike a balance between intelligence and smoothness.

But seriously Jay Z nowadays is awful, his mainstream rap is so corrupted compared to what he used to make. Lupe fiasco is a great guy to listen to but his lyrical skill is somewhat like fat joe's, very unintelligent, but still good show :P

Not a Lupe Fiasco fan but he is the definition of marketable conscious rap. He makes social observations on pop culture, talks politics, and touches on his own religion every now and again, while Fat Joe just jumps on whatever trend in rap is big at the moment.

It's not all about the mainstreem artists, and don't get me wrong they are good but trust me there is alot of talent out there which don't talk about gang violence and drugs, they just talk about life and how much they enjoy it and how they want to be in life and some of their troubles which dont involve violence. and try these artists i really got into them because hip hop is abit low at the moment, and these hip hop tracks are abit jazzy and have really good lyrics in them. If i wa sto compare their lyrical style it would be like Lupe Fiasco, Kid Cudi, and Drake (Not Cudi's mainstream songs, his mixtapes, with songs such as soundtrack to my life and pursuit of happiness. Same wiith drake, his mixtapes, songs like Enjoy your self, Fear and more)
These are the artists im talking about:
Dom Kennedy
Illa j
If you want to know songs in particular im talking about send me a message because these guys are really good.

I don't feel like reading through the whole thread, but has anyone ever heard of Aesop Rock? He is amazing, imo. Definitely my favorite rapper. I like Talib Kweli and Mos Def, Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique and Lupe Fiasco too.

I'm glad I found a hip hop thread where people aren't hating.
This is what I generally listen to:
Brother Ali
Budo and Krukid
The Coup
D. Black
De La Soul
Dessa (from Doomtree)
Fresh Espresso
Grieves (favorite hip hop artist ever)
Haiku D'etat
Jake One
Lupe Fiasco
The Physics
Pretty much anything that's on Rhymesayers Entertainment I'm down with. There's many more underground artists I love, but those are probably the ones who get most rotation on winamp.

First video of SEXTANTE for ArcGIS
As you can see, output results are not added automatically to the view (I haven't figured out how to do it yet...and this is the one single thing that I can't find documentation about...Anyone can help??), but the remaining elements of the SEXTANTE-ArcGIS interaction are already implemented and seem to be working pretty fine.
I still want to do some more testing and solve a few minor issues, but everything is going fine and the next version of SEXTANTE will for sure ship with fully-working ArcGIS bindings
We are all very excited about this development, since it means a big step in the (short but intense) history of SEXTANTE :-)

Great work, heard of you thru my friend James Fee. To link your processes in ArcGIS, I suggest you use Model Builder in the Spatial Analyst extension to concatenate them. It's a tool I use a lot, can send my blog or slideshare links if you're interested. Hasta luego, Andrew

Thanks for your suggestions. We still have to test the SEXTANTE algorithms in the Model Builder. We are making them work from the toolbox, and later we will try from the Model Builder, since taht might need some additional developments.
By the way, is great to know that such a relevant blogger as James talks about us :-) Say thanks to him from the SEXTANTE team!

SEXTANTE for ArcGIS work ArcGIS version 9.3.1 or larger. I hope a first version will be ready in less than a month, and we will prepare a package to make it easier to install.
Regarding its processing speed in comparison with gvSIG, the raster processing part is faster because it inner architecture is different, since I had to redesing some classes to fit into how the ArcGIS toolbox works.
I did some benchmarking and, susprisingly, also other task not using the underlying GIS (like creating a large number or objects or copying arrays of objects) work faster when called from ArgGIS instead of gvSIG.
I haven't done any benchmarking with the vector reading/writing capabilities

I am waiting to work with sextant on arcgis. An interrelation through the Model Builder with sextant and grass would be very fruitful. Sincerely, I think, in the long term, ArcGIS Desktop will be a product of low cost but free. ESRI will look for the business in other services.
Thank you for your work.

'Searching For Sugar Man' Star Sixto Rodriguez Sued For Copyright Infringement
DETROIT (AP) – Sixto Rodriguez, the subject of the Oscar-winning documentary "Searching for Sugar Man," has been pulled into a lawsuit over songs on an album he released in 1970.
The dispute centers on ownership of the songs on "Cold Fact" and contracts between Rodriguez and two music companies.
Gomba Music Inc. is suing Interior Music Corp. in Detroit federal court, claiming it owns the copyright to the songs penned by Rodriguez, not Interior. The lawsuit says the musician concealed his writing role to sidestep a publishing agreement he had with Gomba.
Interior in response blames Rodriguez for the legal problems and named him Wednesday as a third-party defendant in the case.
A message was left Thursday with Rodriguez's lawyer.
The Hollywood Reporter first reported the lawsuit.

And behold - here lies the problem with it all! Yes, we want our code to work on MacOSX and Intel hardware but what the theoreticians completely overlook is that management also has a say in the matter, resulting in the following:
- no rewrite from the ground up
- no change of general program flow
- no time consuming changes
Of course it's easy to say 'you should have done...' and other smart-ass remarks but they always fall way off the mark of reality. That's what some people seem to forget: The old legacy code exists, and in some form it needs to continue to exist, and worse, it needs to be kept operable on more modern systems.
So here it goes:
But it'a complete bullshit anyway. glBegin/glEnd was a tried and true feature until GL 2.1 so whatever you are trying to say here goes way off the line. You are arguing from a theoretic standpoint, completely forgetting that what I have to deal with is code that actually exists and actually needs to be kept working.
Plus, the performance characteristics of both methods are so totally different that there's simply no 1:1 transition, that's why the old code was never changed.
And now to the other person who doesn't seem to have a grasp on the maintenance of old legacy code...
So far the compromise has been the compatibility profile but at my workplace everybody is in agreement that this is a stopgap measure at best, and as soon as it's technically doable, migrate to a core profile so that we aren't locked to AMD and NVidia on Windows.
So again, find a compromise that gets us where we want to be. (Yes, you read that correctly: The operative term is always to 'compromise'...)
D3D is mainly used for entertainment software, which MUST be current with actual technology. The 5 year old D3D9 engine won't make do anymore for a new product.
The same is not true for corporate software, which is often badly maintained, full of ancient cruft and something a company's well-being relies on.
It's absolutely unfeasible to go at this with the 'out with the old - in with the new' approach, management would balk at this. Again, the nice word 'compromise' must be mentioned. And it's clearly here where the compatibility profile comes in: Lots of high profile customers who simply cannot afford to port their software to an entirely different paradigm of working. The mere fact that a compatibility profile had to be established was a clear indicator that something was wrong with how the deprecation mechanism was used.
And frankly, this particular thing was the ONLY thing that was sorely missing from GL 3.x
See above: The inability to just put some data into a buffer without some insane driver overhead. Yes, just an efficient method to replace immediate mode draw calls. You may ignore this problem as much as you like, that doesn't change anything about the cold hard fact that our 'big app''s life depends on it.
Again: It's very old, it's very crufty and today would be written in a different way.
Again: All of this doesn't eliminate the fact that I have to deal with the code as it was written more than a decade ago and liberally expanded over the years.
It's a simple question of economics - a rewrite would be too costly. There's no point to discuss this. The decision has been made and I have to deal with this and make do with what I can do - which is merely picking out the immediate mode draw calls and replace them with anything that's compatible with a core profile and doesn't bog down performance.
That's the main reason I jumped for persistent, coherent buffers, with those the code is actually FASTER than immediate mode, even on NVidia where glBegin/glEnd still works fast.
The problem is that in order to make it work some more extensive rewrite may be in order if you are dealing with legacy code from another generation. And it's particularly that extensive rewrite that corporate programmers often won't be able to take.
Yes, unless that 'little more work' you are talking about is being considered too much by management, than all your therories fall flat on their face with a loud 'thump'.
But believe it or not, there are usage scenarios where it's far more important to optimize the way of the data into the buffer than anything else. For a strictly CPU-bottlenecked app it doesn't matter one bit how much data you can draw with a single draw call, all that matters is to find the fastest way to get your data onto the GPU - and that's exactly my problem. Restructuring the code to allow better batching would cause maintenance overhead that's entirely on the CPU, where we are already at the limit and each small addition can be felt immediately.
TL;DR, I know, to make it easier to digest I'll post the summary separately.

Lucas Glover takes Zurich Classic lead; 14-year-old Guan Tianlang makes cut
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
AVONDALE, La. – Lucas Glover birdied his final hole Friday to take a one-stroke lead over Boo Weekley after the second round of the Zurich Classic.
Glover, the 2009 U.S. Open winner, shot a 5-under 67 to reach 12 under at TPC Louisiana. Weekley had a 68.
D.A. Points was 10 under after a 68.
Guan Tianlang, the 14-year-old Chinese amateur playing on a sponsor exemption, followed his opening 72 with a 69 finish at 3 under and easily make the cut. He tied for 58th two weeks ago in the Masters after becoming the youngest player to make the cut at Augusta National, and said Thursday that he will play in a U.S. Open qualifier in two weeks in Dallas.
Defending champion Jason Dufner also was 3 under after a 71.

Basketball Media Day Wrap
The freshmen, new uniforms, and oh my god what in the hell
Today's basketball media day was perfectly described by another reporter as "not a newsmaking event*," which seems a tad ironic but that's Michigan athletics these days. You can tell the freshmen have already been coached not to say anything interesting, and I'm not even going to bother transcribing the player roundtables as a result. Just imagine the football pressers and replace "football" with "basketball" and you have a good idea of what you missed.
I will, however, post some highlights from John Beilein's press conference.
Bullets ahoy:
- The team has had 16 hours of summer workouts in addition to the usual weight training, plus 12 hours of recent skill training. Starting Friday they practice 20 hours a week.
- The William Davidson Player Development Center is almost complete. It's a "sensational venue" to practice in while Crisler is being redone.
- Beilein's had one look at Crisler about a month ago, and says "it looks like a brand new building, like we built a $200 million building." Calls it a tremendous asset for recruiting and very fan-friendly.
- Mitch McGary is helping replace the energy void left by Zack Novak, who he says was "really instrumental in everyone's life."
- It's too early to name a starting five. During the first two weeks of practice he'll put two or three freshmen on one team, two or three on the other, and watch how they adjust. The last few weeks were much more for skill development than team development. Probably won't name a lineup in the next 2-3 weeks.
- Trey Burke is up to 190 pounds, and it's a good 190. Praises strength coach Jon Sanderson for his work with the whole team (I can say from seeing him up close that Tim Hardaway Jr. looks very impressive physically right now, definitely bigger than last year).
- Tim Hardaway Jr. has "taken a little bit of Novak," in that you can hear his presence on the court.
- "This is a good rebounding team." Has more of an inside presence than past Beilein squads, McGary and Jordan Morgan in particular. The offense may be more predicated around offensive rebounding as a result.
- The freshmen are very coachable, and have been getting help from both the coaching staff and their fellow players. He says the team is as intelligent as any he's had. Cited Glenn Robinson III specifically as a player who's picked up new information and put it to use on the court ten minutes later. At the end of a recent practice, Josh Bartlestein, Corey Person, and Eso Akunne each had pulled freshmen aside to teach them something.
- When he got here, the question in the Big Ten was who was going to be the sixth or seventh team into the NCAA tournament. Now the fight may be over who will be the eighth or ninth team in.
- When asked about how he'll handle high expectations and preseason rankings: "I think John Beilein is always going to have a chip on his shoulder."
- As for if he thinks they're a top five team: "I don't pay any attention to that." Says he doesn't watch other teams practice, so how could he know? [Good point, coach.]
- There's four, five, maybe even six players who could see time at the four or the five. Loves having the versatility, notes the importance of the four—Kevin Durant and LeBron James were playing the four in the NBA playoffs last year. Last year he didn't feel he had a choice at the four after Jon Horford got hurt.
- The goal is to win the Big Ten title. [Of course it is. Fergodsakes.]
- Nik Stauskas has "a natural ability to find the bottom of the basket," but what makes him a difficult guard is that he can also put the ball on the floor and drive to the rim. Also showing the ability to keep his head up and find the open man, and he's putting in effort on defense because he knows that's how he'll see the floor.
- Last year there wasn't a player who felt comfortable spelling Trey Burke as the primary ballhandler. There's a lot more confidence in Spike Albrecht being able to come in and run the point to give Burke a rest. Stauskas and Caris Levert can also put the ball on the floor.
- Beilein used most of the 16 hours of summer workouts on offense. The staff watched the NBA much closer than ever before and cut more NBA film than in the past to see how they utilize two post players.
- The team hasn't spoken about the loss to OHIO in the NCAA tournament. They're very proud of the Big Ten championship and will talk about the tourney loss if they get back there this year.
- The only injury is a "foot stress issue" for Corey Person. Otherwise there are a few nagging issues but nothing major.
- No captains have been named yet.
- Tim Hardaway Jr. will split time between the two and the three. Lots of options on the roster, so they'll wait and see how things shake out during practice.
That about covers it. Here's a shoe:
*said unnamed reporter even preceded that with "as expected"; we're not bitter!

Advocates to honor Attorney General Martha Coakley for her leadership to support victims and survivors and help end sexual and domestic violence
February 12, 2013
WHAT: Jane Doe Inc. to present the Delahunt Award for Extraordinary Public Service to Attorney General Martha Coakley
WHEN/WHERE: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 5:30 PM at The State Room, 60 State Street, Boston
WHO: Former Congressman Bill Delahunt and Senate President Therese Murray will join Jane Doe Inc. Executive Director Mary R. Lauby, the Jane Doe Inc. Board of Directors and hundreds of guests and supporters.
WHY: Throughout her career as a prosecutor and Attorney General, Martha Coakley has repeatedly demonstrated leadership on issues that improve the safety, dignity and liberty of victims and survivors of sexual violence, domestic violence and stalking. She has made it clear within every corner of her Administration that we must and can do better in terms of supporting survivors, holding offenders accountable and preventing abuse. Look at her record: investments in the Victim's Compensation Unit and Victim Witness Program; new initiatives to protect people from human trafficking; advocacy for the sexual assault and stalking restraining bill. These are but a few examples of her contributions and accomplishments.
Mary R. Lauby, Jane Doe Inc. Executive Director, said, "Attorney General Coakley has been a stellar, unwavering and formidable public servant. She's been an innovator and collaborator. She's been a tireless and effective advocate. It's clear that what is driving her work is a deeply rooted passion to stand up for victims in the face of unfairness."
Background on Jane Doe Inc. and Award:
Jane Doe Inc. (JDI) is the statewide coalition of nearly sixty community-based sexual and domestic violence organizations dedicated to transforming the social norms that fuel violence and hatred while also building the norms that support peace, equality, and justice.
In 2010 JDI presented Bill Delahunt with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his dedication and leadership in ending violence against women. Upon his retirement from Congress, JDI renamed the award in his honor.

On a Thursday afternoon in mid-April, eight teenage girls sat inside Boulder Running Company, chatting excitedly about matching their workout outfits to their brand new running shoes.
The girls are part of Genesister, a Boulder County program for teen aunts, who have watched their older siblings struggle through teen pregnancy and teen parenting. The new shoes, courtesy of the Boulder Running Company, are for their Bolder Boulder training groups every Saturday morning.
Many of the girls had never run before, much less run a 10K, hence the lack of supportive running shoes. Until that day, the girls have been training under program director and marathoner Jody Scanlon in various pairs of worn out sneakers. Back at the store, she reminded them that investing in a sports bra was probably a good idea, too.
"Are those your real eyelashes?" asked 13-year-old Jatzeny Flores to another girl while slipping into a pair of bright purple Nikes. They kept chatting while product line manager Henry Guzman and other store employees wrote down their names and shoe sizes.
Boulder County created Genesister three years ago as a partner to Genesis, a program started in 1989 for pregnant and parenting teens. Genesister targets the younger siblings of teen parents, who are five times more likely to get pregnant if their older sister became a teen parent, according to a 2009 study published in the journal Perspective on Sexual and Reproductive Health.
The younger siblings of teen parents are also more likely to be sexually active during early adolescence, tend to have lower educational goals and more issues at school, according to Scanlon.
Scanlon, who's been with the original program Genesis since 1991, said it became difficult to watch more and more younger siblings of teen parents get pregnant themselves.
"It's very frustrating to watch this and see this dynamic happen but be somewhat powerless to intervene," she said. "That's where the concept of the Genesister program came about."
The program includes mentoring and educational groups to discuss topics like dating, relationships and sex education. The girls can join homework clubs designed to keep them from dropping out of school, but there's also a social component to the program. Scanlon says the point of the "fun" activities set up by the program is to remind teens that while they're young, life should be fun, not bogged down with parenting responsibilities.
"Foundational to the program is providing girls a sense of hope and future orientation," Scanlon said. "We know that access to contraception and knowledge about contraception are very important, but they're not the whole picture. For many of our clients, they may not see a lot of opportunity before them. They may not be on the college track so early parenting might seem like a logical progression. We're trying to broaden their vision."
The goal with training for the Bolder Boulder was much the same. Even though the girls groaned and hobbled through the first few training sessions, they learned to overcome the "I can't" thoughts while working toward a goal.
That's the same message Genesister staff wants to implore to them about being a relatively carefree, childless teen, says youth specialist Maya Sol Dansie.
"There are maybe some pressures where we think we might be on a path of pregnancy, dropping out, drugs," Dansie said. "We can challenge that and say I have an alternative path and it's in my power to choose and I can do this."
Emma Alcantar, a 15-year-old Boulder High sophomore, has done the Bolder Boulder before, but says she's not much of a runner. The training has been "stressful," she said, but she's glad Scanlon and other Genesister staff members are pushing them.
Her older sister Nancy got pregnant at age 18. Though Alcantar says she loves being an aunt to now 4-year-old Johnny, she's watched her sister struggle. Though she's a sophomore now, Alcantar has her sights set on a four-year college, and wants to study psychology or become a nurse, she says.
"She needed to grow up so fast," Alcantar said. "I don't want that to happen."
Often, teen parents and their families rely on community programs to help with the costs of raising a family. By running the Bolder Boulder, the girls of Genesister will feel like they're part of that community, not relying on it, Scanlon said.
After all the training, Scanlon expects about 15 girls to participate in the race.
"There's that sense of accomplishment, a sense of self-efficacy upon finishing, lessons around it takes hard work, it takes showing up, it takes being sore," she said. "Anything that is really worth doing, it does require a lot of hard work and in the end you'll be glad you put the effort in. We're trying to open their eyes to you can do more than you think you can."

Best dressedby Staff Writer / Montréal Canadiens
MONTREAL – There may be nothing more iconic for Montreal hockey fans than the sight of the Canadiens' blue-blanc-rouge jerseys. But what does the rest of the world think?
ESPN helped answer that question today when they released an in-depth look at the best uniforms in pro sports. The extremely comprehensive list ranks uniforms from all 122 teams in the four major North American sporting leagues – NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL – in order from most cringe-inducing to nicest.
The Yankees, Red Sox, Cowboys, Steelers and Celtics are but a few of the legendary teams whose uniform challenged for the No. 1 position. And yet they all came up short.
The Canadiens' legendary logo and colors found the top of the heap. A simple, straightforward design, coupled with a logo recognized around the world helped propel the Habs uniform to the No.1 spot, with the list's author, Paul Lukas, claiming, "This isn't just a perfect hockey uniform set -- it's a perfect uniform set, period."
To find the next NHL team on the list, you'd have to look down to the No.5 spot, occupied by the Boston Bruins. In total, six NHL jerseys made their way into the top 25, with five of them representing the league's original six teams. The sixth team – the Chicago Blackhawks – made the list at No.49.
Of all the team uniforms from each sport, it was ultimately the Sacramento Kings that had the dubious distinction of wearing the least attractive jerseys, coming in last place, or 122nd overall. Among NHL teams, the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars were at the bottom of the pile, in 118th and 117th place, respectively. It's of course worth mentioning that the list only represents the opinions and tastes of a single person.

FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) -- Fitch Ratings on Wednesday revised its outlook on Ireland to stable from negative, while affirming the country's BBB plus credit rating, which is two notches above junk status. The upward revision to the country's rating outlook "reflects Ireland's continued progress with its fiscal consolidation, external adjustment and economic recovery, as well as the sovereign's improved financing options," Fitch said, in an emailed statement. Although Fitch expects flat Irish GDP growth in 2012 after 1.4% growth in 2011, that would still beat the euro-zone average of minus 0.5%, the ratings firm said, and would outpace other so-called peripheral countries.
