This morning, I took East Capitol with the intention of riding Pennsylvania Avenue with the intention of seeing whether the cycle track had been repainted. At 6th, I ran into Dave and Kid O, who have become regulars on this blog and also regulars on the commute. We rode together, the three of us, down through the Capitol grounds and out to Pennsylvania through the not-quite-painted Pennsylvania Avenue and we chitted and we chatted and I interrupted yet again some precious moments of father-daughter bike commute bonding. They left me around 7th and I kept going and soon enough I find myself not only where the bike lanes used to be but were no longer, but instead where the bike lanes used to be and now are again.
First, they were just a unofficially there.
Then, they were officially there:
Good to see you again, white lines in the middle of the road.
They didn't pave the part of Penn on the west side of 14th. Accordingly, not only is the old bike lane there, but so are the bollards.
There are plenty of bollards left on 15th. There are also plenty of surly Secret Service types, one of whom told me to get on the sidewalk when I tried to ride down Madison Place. I'm glad that in obliging him I played a small part in keeping our President and country safe. WHERE'S MY PARADE?
It's been a while since I've taken 15th north. It still goes north. South, too. It's like a bike lane swing state.
R to Massachusetts and I spent some time whistling, but I know not what I whistled. I mostly remember just feeling tired and thinking how I want a closer commute and an opafiets and to never ride up a hill ever again, even though on most days, I savor my commute.
I did savor my evening commute and I didn't even fall down, not even a little. At Idaho, some jerk lady nearly ran me off the road, totally unaware that she was doing it and I think that says a lot about some of the problems associated with driving. There was lots of car traffic on Massachusetts and then again on 23rd and even a little on L, but the problems of cars aren't necessarily my problems and I wended as I wanted and picked my way through the morass, surely and safely. And slowly, as I was knackered.
I biked a perfect on L Street. "Biking a perfect" is the hot new phrase that all the hip bike commuter bloggers are using to describe when you get through a stretch of road where you might could expect problems, but then don't experience any because everyone is very well-behaved and follows the rules and doesn't sklomp everything up. (Sklomp might not be a real word, but the Official Wife and I use it and you can probably figure out what it means from context). Anyway, I encourage you to celebrate when you bike a perfect, because it's a real accomplishment. It's like winning a game of backgammon. I've written this before, but it's worth repeating (mostly because you can't stop me. It's my blog and I'm repeat what I want, darn it! You may skip ahead): backgammon is an excellent metaphor for bike commuting because you're not just competing against someone else, like in chess and checkers, but because you're also competing, so to speak, against chance. You get the dice rolls you get and you have to do the best you can with you got. Bike commuting might also be like these other board games: Trouble, Sorry, Hungry Hungry Hippos (if you bike home without eating lunch) and, uh, Battleship, assuming you bike down by the Navy Yard, I guess.
11th to Pennsylvania. Almost all the bike lanes are painted, except for maybe one or two blocks. Maybe they'll be in tomorrow.
There was a very earnest CaBi-ist in front of me for a while and he was earnest and he wore khakis and dress shoes and was probably in his 20s but looked 17.
I forgot to mention that I saw on the street, but didn't pick up, a New Orleans Saints beer coozy. Street loot is the best.
My legs felt great about six blocks from home. It was groovy. I stopped at The Cupboard (15th and East Capitol, and the official convenience store of #TFTS) for milk and beer. The milk was whole and the beer was bottled. I barely had room in my bag, but I made it work, and I made it from work to home in two blocks and two minutes later.

The Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER) yesterday denied accusations from an environmentalist that it has long been illegally discharging radioactively contaminated waste water into irrigation channels in Taoyuan County's Dasi Township (大溪) and threatening the nearby Kanjin Aboriginal Community (崁津部落).
Residents of Kanjin, a predominantly Amis Aboriginal community on the bank of the Dahan River (大漢溪), have been concerned over the past few days after Green Formosa Front board member Lin Chang-mau (林長茂) on Thursday accused the INER of releasing contaminated wastewater into the local irrigation system.
Lin supported his claim by saying that dead frogs and mice had been found in the irrigation channel.
"We're very worried because we not only use the water for the irrigation of our vegetable crops and rice, we also drink the underground water since we don't have running water," community spokeswoman Tsai Hui-lan (蔡惠蘭) said.
Chen Fu-sheng (陳福聲), a Kanjin resident, said that back in the 1980s, the INER once dug up a large quantity of soil at a site near the village.
"At the time, I thought they were building a fish pond, but they covered it afterward and closed off the area with barbed wire," Chen said. "I suspect they may have buried something there."
Chen said he used to grow mountain yams on a farm next to the closed-off area. However, after the INER's construction, nothing grows on the plot of land anymore.
As an irrigation channel flows through the closed-off area and then into Kanjin, Kanjin Chieftain Chang Ching-lin (張清林) said he feared that even if the water is clean, "it may get contaminated while flowing through the restricted area before flowing into our village."
INER and Atomic Energy Council (AEC) officials, who visited the community at the invitation of Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Liao Kuo-tung (廖國棟) of the Amis tribe, rebutted the claims and guaranteed that the water released by the institute into the irrigation system is safe, saying it has been processed and water samples from irrigation channels as well as soil and plant samples from the area are inspected every three months.
"The INER has been in the area for over 40 years and most INER employees, including myself, my family and my colleagues who came with me today, live here," INER director-general Ma Yin-pang (馬殷邦) told the Kanjin residents. "Hence we take the nuclear safety issue very seriously. If something goes wrong, it affects not only you, but also ourselves and our children."
INER Health Physics Division deputy director Wang Jeng-jong (王正忠) said that while the wastewater from the institute is released into the irrigation system, it would be processed before releasing.
"After its release, we will periodically take samples of water, soil and plants to check, and then our examination report will be presented to the AEC, they will conduct their own testing while also commissioning an independent third-party lab to test at the same time," Wang said. "The AEC intends to then compare results from different sources to check their accuracy."
Ma added that it was very unlikely the frogs and mice in the irrigation channel died as a result of radioactive contamination.
"It must be a very high dose of radiation to kill animals," Ma said. "Animals and humans survived the radiation leak at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan last year, so you know the contamination must be much stronger than that to kill animals."

|You come at the King of Beers, best not miss.
If/When/If they install the #MStreetCycleTrack, I'm going to take that instead of R Street. I have a love/hate relationship with the repetitiveness of my commute and especially R Street. In the love column:
- the chance to notice really small changes that happen on a day-to-day basis, like building construction and houses for sale.
- the chance to run into the same people, which makes me feel like part of a community
- the chance to sort of zone-out, knowing the patterns of the lights and the exact minimum speed and effort required to reach maximum enjoyability.
In the hate column:
- It's really boring.
But, such is the way of the commute. Unless of course, I could hire someone to blindfold me and drive me and my bike to a different location every day, from where I'll have to rely in guts and guile to get me to work. But that sounds expensive with the high cost of blindfolds and gas and such. Also, super creepy.
I took Massachusetts the rest of the way to work, noticing a number of drivers who felt compelled to turn on red, in spite of signs indicating that they oughtn't. To the best of my knowledge, no one was harmed as it appeared rather safe for them to turn red. I don't know why the sign is there. Maybe it shouldn't be. I think a lot about "traffic laws" and I think the thing that bothers me the most about "traffic laws" and the discussion around them is selective literalism. Sometimes signs mean exactly what they say (most normally for people who aren't you) and sometimes they're just suggestions, open to interpretation.

Tapping top talent: Kluge estate lures the masters
Move over, Napa. Pick up the pace, Finger Lakes. Experts agree that Albemarle County is ripe to become the next gourmet hot spot.
If your vision of bliss includes warm French pastries and hot coffee, or a sumptuous picnic lunch with a glass of fine wine, then you'll soon have more to choose from than the duo of Brix and Jefferson Vineyards.
If Main Street Market, with its up-scale interpretation of one-stop European shopping, was the coup of 2002, then the Kluge Estate Winery and Vineyard stands a good chance of becoming an ace in 2003.
Slated for a February 4 opening is the estate's Farm Shop, a combination café and prepared delicacies market, which will also offer catering (box lunches and hors d'oeuvres). To follow a few months later will be Fuel, the newest of Charlottesville's gourmet gas stations and currently undergoing major reconstructive surgery at the corner of Market and Ninth streets.
Is Charlottesville ready for such an abundance of good taste/s? Will we survive this frontal assault on our taste buds (and wallets)? Tom Thornton, former CEO and co-owner of the taste- and trend-setting Dean and DeLuca, and now head consultant and manager for the Kluge project, certainly thinks so. When this Long Island native arrived in Charlottesville four months ago, he made it a point to study his new market thoroughly.
"I went into every single shop, every café, sampled the restaurants," he told Dish. "So many things indicated to me that Charlottesville is a sophisticated town, and that it's definitely ready for the kind of high-quality experience that we are proposing."
He should know, but how did Pat Kluge manage to convince Thornton to leave the quick-paced culture of the Northeast for the sweet hills and slower pace of Virginia?
"I loved the creative concept of producing almost everything ourselves, the high standards and the promise of being able to work with the most extraordinary talent out there."
He couldn't spill the name of the executive chef, but when we heard about the pastry chef– none other than Serge Torres, the internationally acclaimed, award-winning cousin of Jacques Torres– we didn't mind a bit. Who says you can't start with dessert? Life is too just too short.
Torres has over 20 years' experience as a classically trained French pastry chef, chocolatier, and baker (he's known for spectacular wedding cakes). He has worked at top restaurants such as Le Cirque, Castle at Tarrytown, and Le Périgod, apparently wowed the Kluge hiring team during a rigorous, week-long interview.
He had to make or bake just about every confection under the sun, a critical audience standing by all the while. (Rough life for the search committee–spending all day tasting Torres' chocolate truffles, almond croissants, cookies, and jams and preserves made from the fruits of the Kluge orchards.)
"It's not all that glamorous" Thornton corrects us. "For every Torres, there's always a vinegar tasting." Sure, but what's a little vinegar when you can wash it away with some New World Red and a perfect pastry?
Just like Thornton, Torres was ready to leave New York and embark on an exciting new creative project in Charlottesville. What does this well-traveled French chef think of his new home state? "Virginia is a very attractive place to be."
Maxed-out credit cards, decadent desserts, champagne, parties flowing into more parties.... Dish knows as well as anyone that the holidays wouldn't be the holidays without a little (or a surfeit of) excess. We just want to suggest that you save some room for dessert in 2003.

Food for thought: Restaurants lose, foodies win in '09
Last year, Dish predicted it would be a rough year economically for restaurants, a call you certainly didn't have to be a psychic to make.
Historically, meals tax revenues have been a cash cow for the city and the county, with the two governments hauling in over $12 million in 2008 amid a 4 to 5 percent annual rise. But as the recession dragged on in 2009, those numbers began to drop for the first time in a decade. In the County, meals tax revenues dropped 12 percent at the end of the fiscal year in July, and in the City they dropped 5 percent.
Not devastating, perhaps, but for restaurateurs accustomed to robust yearly growth, 2009 has been a challenge. Indeed, Dish spoke to dozens of restaurateurs over the course of the year, and when asked how business was going, "We're hanging in there" was a constant refrain. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, especially for us foodies.
Folks have been watching their wallets, and they've been more discerning about how they spend their restaurant dollars. As a result, restaurants have had to raise their game to keep customers coming back. In 2009, being mediocre was not an option. Moreover, the malaise didn't stop culinary entrepreneurs from taking the plunge, as 30 new restaurants and eateries opened in 2009, while only 17 places closed.
Indeed, one sign of times was the Hook's inaugural Restaurant Week in July, a typically slow time for restaurants. Eight restaurants signed up for the event, offering three-course prix fixe menus for just $25.
Not surprisingly, given the typical cost of eating out at a fine restaurant–- which can easily cost a couple over $100–- participating restaurants (the brave eight were C&O, Fossett's at Keswick Hall, Horse & Hound, Cassis, l'©toile, Old Mill Room at the Boar's Head, The Melting Pot, and the Boat House) were slammed. Indeed, many of the restaurants were booked before the week began, prompting Fossett's and Bel Rio to extend the $25 deal for a second week. And Bel Rio leapt into the fray as an unofficial participant.
So what did we learn? While the $25 deal made it difficult for restaurants to turn a big profit on the meal, local print and TV media picked up the story, and the marketing power reached all the way to D.C. and Maryland.
For our second Restaurant Week January 25 through 31, 18 restaurants have signed up, and we're expecting it to be just as popular. Think of it as a stimulus package to promote gastronomy in the region.
Also this year, a restaurant smoking ban went into effect December 1, with Governor Tim Kaine kicking off the new legislation at Hamiltons' at First & Main on the Downtown Mall, one of only three restaurants in Virginia where Kaine spoke that day. Next door, Miller's had to prohibit smoking at the bar for the first time in 30 years, but not for long.
That's because smoking hasn't actually been banned in restaurants; the old rules were just flipped around. It used to be restaurants had non-smoking sections, now they're required to have "separately ventilated" smoking sections. Miller's simply plans to retrofit the second floor to keep smoke out so they can allow smoking downstairs as always. Over at the C&O, too, things won't be changing that much, as their downstairs bar and restaurant qualifies as a separately ventilated area. Of course, other restaurants aren't as easily retrofitted, such as the Blue Light Grill and Mas, but they have outdoor patios. And that's the biggest change we're likely to notice about the new law–- more people smoking al fresco (if that's not an oxymoron).
Looking back, other notable food news deserves mention, such as the deer hunting classes for locavores started by Jackson Landers, the opening of the Local Food Hub, which distributes and markets locally grown food, and the tragic death of beloved farmer and local food activist Kathryn Russell, who died in an October 22 car accident.
There were also record sales at the Charlottesville City Market. Then there was Talking Heads front man David Byrne's trip to Jinx's Pits-Top on his bicycle, the opening of Albemarle CiderWorks, one of only two places in Virginia producing hard cider, the controversy over the Southern Crescent restaurant coming to Belmont, the X Lounge's refusal (and subsequent apology) to let a man wearing a turban in the door under its dress code, Taste of China bringing with it a famous chef, Mockingbird rising from the ashes, and GoDaddy.com CEO Bob Parsons eating a motorcycle cake with race car driver Danica Patrick.
There was also the conviction of the Wood Grill murderer, the mention of our budding micro-beer trail in the Washington Post, Chipotle now getting 100 percent of their pork from Joel Salatin's Polyface Farms, the closing of Martha's Caf© after 31 years, Gearharts Fine Chocolates expanding to Richmond, Feast! selling Barackwurst around inauguration time, the third-annual Artini party in the Ix building, the surprising success of Retail Relay, and the tainted peanut scare, which had embattled Peanut Corp. of America owner and Lynchburg area resident Stewart Parnell pleading the Fifth after emails showed he ordered infected products shipped and complained that the lab tests to check for contamination were "costing us huge $$$$$$."
Ah, there's never a dull moment in our little local food world, and Dish looks forward to serving up the news in 2010. Tip included.

Food at restaurants got better in 2009? Most of the places stink for what they charge. I don't eat a lot, because generally I can make it better, healthier, and cheaper. I had like, two good meals in 2009 at restaurants, and they were not the most expensive, by any means.
The C&O's downstairs qualifies as a "separately ventilated" space...
actually, fossett's 2nd restaurant week was $35. and the boat house wasn't exactly "brave" as it waited until it had heard how many reservations l'etoile et al. had before it joined.
dave - I thought it was illegal in VA; starting Dec 1st?
Does C&O have private club status?
As long as The Aberdeen Barn and Riverside never go out of business, I am good to go! :)
yeah, C&O and Millers... total tobacco death merchants. Outskits guy might need to watch out for all that restaurant salt and fat since he eats out so much, that'll kill him too. Drama queen...
I eat out 15-18 times each week. I'll never spend a dime at C&O or Miller's since they continue to allow unnecessary deaths due to smoking. I hope others feel the same way and help to drive them out of business.
As I recall Crush Wine Shop was a wine shop - not a restaurant.
AMIGOS mexican restaurant is closed on 5# street
I'm disappointed about the C&O's decision. I love the bar, but I can't stand the smoke, especially if I'm eating. Oh well, I suspect they'll survive without me.
For crying out loud "outskirts guy"... Just eat in a different section of the restaurant.

Tooling Article
Where to Begin?
But where does the QDC team begin in its journey to reduce the time needed to transition a press line from last part off of an existing job to good first part off of the next project? Start with a detailed analysis of every single step required to transition the line from one job to the next.
"Start by building a QDC implementation team comprised of people representing several departments within the company," suggests Patrick Richardson, consultant for QDC Systems and Engineering and Rico Equipment, Medina, OH, a manufacturer of specialty lift trucks for die handling and other applications. "The team should include people from management, engineering, maintenance and production. And yes, accounting. Together the team should immediately define its goals for implementing QDC procedures and equipment, with clearly defined measurements—realistic and attainable—that define success
|Using a dedicated die-change table will avoid die-change delays caused by waiting for a multitasking fork truck or overhead crane to become available
Whether focused on every press line in the plant or just a few where the team decides it can get the biggest return, based on part volumes and current production performance measures, the process begins with a careful and detailed study of press-cell layout and material flow. Says Cliff Drake, president of EAS Mold & Die Change Systems, Menomonee Falls, WI, a manufacturer of clamping systems, die splitters and turning units, die carts and other QDC equipment: "We recommend that for each press cell under investigation, the team document every step taken to successfully complete a changeover. And, it should do so for several die changes, not just one, to gain a clear and accurate picture of what's happening on the floor in order to identify every bump and bruise along the . Take detailed notes, and even consider videotaping several die changes to identify opportunities to save time. Is your die-change team wasting time looking for the die, waiting for a lift truck or overhead crane to become available, or trying to find hand tools that have been misplaced?"
Look at Layout
Other areas to focus on include ensuring the press cells are laid out to allow quick and efficient movement of dies as well as coils of stock in and out of the cell. "Look for s you can redesign the cell, perhaps by simply reorienting a conveyor or other pieces of equipment, so your die-change specialists can perform several operations simultaneously," adds Drake.
"Focus on how to properly and efficiently perform your die changes," says Richardson, "rather than on why you need to achieve QDC. "Standardize your dies, where possible, with common backing plates, bolt sizes and passline heights, for example, to speed the process and eliminate steps. Keep clean and up-to-date part prints at the press that include a mechanical detail sheet showing the required press adjustments
What You Need, When You Need It
|Stampers that standardize their dies as much as possible can more readily take advantage of a locating system like the one shown there with a system of clamps and die lifters.
"And don't allow anyone—including maintenance or repair people—to remove tools from the carts," says Drake.
Adds Richardson: "Even before beginning a die change, ensure your scheduling procedure calls for inspecting the die, maintaining and cleaning it well before it's scheduled to be installed on the press. This will prevent your press and operators from sitting idle waiting for last-minute (and rushed) die maintenance."
While sound scheduling practices will address the die-maintenance concern described by Richardson, Drake takes the notion one step further. "In terms of scheduling your pressroom and toolroom," he says, "die changes can be performed more quickly and efficiently—with fewer steps—if shops get a from the concept that every die should be capable of running on every press. Your QDC team should look at your inventory of frequently run dies, and your presses, and categorize your dies based on size, tonnage required and the width of the material being processed. By earmarking certain dies for a specific press or perhaps a few presses, we see metalforming companies eliminating setup steps or minimizing the time needed to perform certain die-change procedures. For example, you'll be able to use a locating system in the press with stops and pins to help your operators precisely and quickly locate dies in the press," Drake adds.
Better Clamping—Take the Plunge
The time has come for stampers to evolve beyond manual die clamping, say Richardson and Drake, to not only speed die changes but to also safeguard workers performing die changes. Tasking operators with climbing up and around presses to install and manually adjust clamps is an accident waiting to happen, as is having workers pushing and pulling heavy dies in and out of the presses.
"Hydraulic clamps fixed to the press bolster and slide provide consistent clamping force, and won't get misplaced, lost or moved somewhere else so that your die-change team can't find them," stresses Drake. "And, these clamps can be set with a pushbutton control at the press main control panel. Same goes for magnetic clamps, which in addition provide a nice, clean bolster and slide to more readily accommodate larger dies that encompass the entire press bed."
While magnetic die clamping has long been accepted by injection-mold shops, metalformers just now are beginning to accept the technology as safe and efficient.
"It's a leap of faith for many," adds Drake.
Improved Safety Will Pay for Itself
Also providing a safer die-change environment for operators is use of powered die-transfer mechanisms on die carts and dedicated die-change tables, rather than relying on multitasking fork trucks or overhead cranes that might not als be available when your press operator or die-change team needs one.
"Die carts and custom-designed lift trucks for die handling can help ensure the press and die remain in perfect alignment during a die change—while removing one die and installing the next," says Richardson. "And when moving larger and heavier dies, carts and trucks can be equipped with power transfer mechanisms to relive operators from having to push and pull the dies in and out." Some die-handling trucks are even equipped with video cameras and monitors.
Die carts also can be designed to handle both dies—the existing die being removed from the press and the new one being installed—in one handling, says Drake.
"We can develop a double-decker die cart, or a side-by-side setup," he says, to allow an operator to pull one die off and set up a new die in one operation, without any repositioning. You can't do that with a fork truck or overhead crane, and lift trucks tend to cause a lot of damage around the shop.
"And yet another option is the use of dedicated change tables," adds Drake: "Set them by the press and roll a die out of the press, move it over and ro.ll the new die in. These tables can be fixed by a specific press, or mounted on casters or on rails to move from press to press.
"Setup-reduction programs require continual attention and work," summarizes Drake. "As you go you learn, and changeover time will continue to shrink—once you get started with the process, that is."

1. Come, come, ye Saints, no toil nor labor fear;But with joy wend your way.Though hard to you this journey may appear,Grace shall be as your day.'Tis better far for us to striveOur useless cares from us to drive;Do this, and joy your hearts will swell--All is well! All is well!
2. Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard?'Tis not so; all is right.Why should we think to earn a great rewardIf we now shun the fight?Gird up your loins; fresh courage take.Our God will never us forsake;And soon we'll have this tale to tell--All is well! All is well!
3. We'll find the place which God for us prepared,Far away in the West,Where none shall come to hurt or make afraid;There the Saints will be blessed.We'll make the air with music ring,Shout praises to our God and King;Above the rest these words we'll tell--All is well! All is well!
4. And should we die before our journey's through,Happy day! All is well!We then are free from toil and sorrow, too;With the just we shall dwell!But if our lives are spared againTo see the Saints their rest obtain,Oh, how we'll make this chorus swell--All is well! All is well!

Joachim Rucker has been the head of UNMIK in Kosovo since September 2006. He first arrived in February 2005 as head of the EU Pillar of the UN mission responsible for economic development. He was not new to the Balkans, having worked in Bosnia for the Office of the High Representative in Sarajevo.
Prior to coming to the Balkans he was a diplomat with the German Foreign Ministry, serving in Vienna, Dar es Salaam and Detroit. He was also mayor of his home town of Sindelfingen for two consecutive terms from 1993-2001.
"I think this is one of the special strengths of Kosovo's society, something that impressed me a lot. People look confidently into the future – despite a difficult present, despite a difficult past, people are confident about the future. And I think it is our task to do everything not to frustrate this confidence."
Rucker is aware of the economic challenges that Kosovo is facing:
"If we look at unemployment, it is around 50 percent if we include the subsistence economy in agriculture; and around 30 percent if we exclude it. That is too high. On top of this, there are about 25,000 young people knocking on the doors of the labour market every year because birth rates are so high. Something needs to be done and it will have something to do with migration. And that means that if the problems of the labour market in Kosovo can't be solved by growth alone, and that is certainly the most important strategy, one needs the valve of migration."

Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition ("A.R.D.") is a pre-trial intervention program for first time non-violent offenders. A.R.D. is not a conviction and does not require a defendant to serve mandatory jail sentences associated with certain convictions.
In order to be eligible for A.R.D., you must be a first time offender. You are not a first time offender if you have ever been convicted of any misdemeanor or felony crimes in this or any other state or jurisdiction (including military tribunals) or if you have ever been placed on A.R.D or its equivalent in this or any other state or jurisdiction. Charges such as Possession of a Controlled Substance, Theft, Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Controlled Substance ("D.U.I.") are typically appropriate for the A.R.D. program. The A.R.D. Application outlines basic eligibility requirements for the Bucks County A.R.D. program; however, a recommendation for placement into the A.R.D. program is at the sole discretion of the Bucks County District Attorney's Office.
If you are accepted into the A.R.D. program and fail to comply with any of your A.R.D. agreement conditions or are arrested for or convicted of a new offense, you will be removed from the A.R.D. program and the Bucks County District Attorney's Office will file a praecipe to have your case listed for trial on the original charges.
If you are accepted into the A.R.D. program for an offense of D.U.I., under Section 3802 of Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code the A.R.D. disposition will be considered a prior conviction for sentencing purposes, and will increase the mandatory sentence for each subsequent D.U.I. offenses within the next ten (10) years from the date of the A.R.D. agreement.
If you would like to apply for the first-time offender A.R.D. program, you must:
If your application for A.R.D. has been rejected, and you wish to seek reconsideration of your application by the District Attorney's Office, the reconsideration request must be filed in writing and mailed or delivered to the District Attorney's Office prior to your listed trial date. Your request will be reviewed by the assigned Assistant District Attorney when that case is listed for trial. The District Attorney's Office will not respond to any reconsideration request made by phone, phone message, or email.
Both the A.R.D. Application and the Waiver form for the Preliminary Hearing can be found on this website and printed out and taken to the assigned Magisterial District Court on or before your scheduled Preliminary Hearing.
Individuals accepted into the A.R.D. Program are required to complete at least 10 hours of community service. Community service must be verified by the Bucks County Adult Probation and Parole Department. It is the responsibility of the A.R.D. participant to submit a completion letter to the Bucks County Adult Probation Department from the agency's community service program director indicating your community service has been completed. Under no circumstances will on-line community service be accepted.
A.R.D. costs policy:
These cost assessments do not reflect the total amount of costs owed by defendants placed into the ARD program, rather just the fee to be placed into the ARD program.
Clerk of Courts will thereafter advise all defendants placed on ARD what their court costs balance is, to be paid in full within eleven (11) months of being placed into the ARD program.
All defendants (who are not declared indigent by the court) will pay the same amount of costs on like cases regardless of who represented them at the time of ARD placement.
This policy has been in effect since April of this year. Most defense attorneys have followed this policy to the letter since the change in policy went into effect. The policy was changed in order to benefit all ARD defendants so that they no longer have to pay costs in their entirety before being placed in the ARD program. It is expected that all attorneys practicing in this county properly explain this policy to their clients when contemplating ARD for their clients.
Effective April 1, 2013: Upon successful completion of your A.R.D. agreement, the Court will automatically dismiss the charges against you and your criminal record will be expunged pursuant to Rules 319 and 320 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure.
If you were granted A.R.D between June 1, 2011 and March 28, 2013; your case will not be automatically expunged. You may petition the courts for Expungement if you have successfully completed all of you A.R.D requirements. For your convenience a sample *Motion for Dismissal and Expungement (A.R.D.) form is provided on this website.
The following is for informational purposes only:
Expungement is the process to "remove from general review" the records pertaining to an arrest, citation, or adjudication of summary or criminal charges. Not all criminal records are eligible for Expungement. The records may not completely "disappear." Records may still be available to law enforcement as well as the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and may still be considered a prior conviction in some circumstances. It should be noted that an Expungement will not remove information that was previously available on the internet or through other media sources. Expungement is not automatic for A.R.D cases between June 1, 2011 and March 28, 2013. The court may choose not to grant the request. To determine if your criminal records fall within the categories of records eligible to be expunged and/or if the self help expungement forms are appropriate for you, consult an attorney.

I don't have anything yet, except what I want my program to successfully do. After thought a 3 segment LED display will be enough for my counting since I only want it to go to the hundreths place 0-999.
I do not have a RTC module yet. Any suggestions?
I am looking for them to be a bit larger than 1 inch, rather 2-3 inch.
Wouldn't it be simplier if the two counts were on seperate LED displays?
If you have the MAX7219 driving the displays, and you wanted larger 2-3" digits, then seperate common cathode displays is the way to go.You said you wanted time to hundreths, so MM:SS.TH + 99 would be one way to occupy 8 digits.
Easily.You can do it with SPI.transfer() commands to set up the MAX7219 and send it the 6 digits you want to display, or use some library to do it.This is a much larger version that uses a Promini for control and a MAX7221 (MAX7219 is identical but with faster signal edges) driving countdown timer display (and countup is easier) in the middle and 2 set of 00-99 digits at the upper sides.The '328P based promini does the timing, no external clock needed.I think your hardest part will be making it all watertight.Can make it rechargeable-battery powered with sealed connectors for the pushbutton for the lap counter and the external reset.Or go fancier and make the reset wireless, so the only connection is for the lap button.

DPS opens two new schools in West Denver; secures multi-million dollar federal grants
On Aug. 20 at 10:30 am, Denver Public Schools Superintendent Tom Boasberg will celebrate two new, district-run schools opening this fall in West Denver. The celebration will take place at West High School, at 951 Elati Street.
For the past two years DPS leadership has worked to create a comprehensive plan to transform the academic offerings at West High School, and these two new West Academies come as a result. West Generation Academy, a partnership with Generation Schools will serve grades 6-8, and West Leadership Academy, a partnership with the College Board will serve grades 9-12. Both schools will operate on the West High School Campus.
As part of the celebration, DPS will discuss the new multi-million dollar grants that have been secured for West Generation and West Leadership, as well as three other DPS schools, to be announced Monday.

Q&A: Roseanne Diab on science academies and climate risk
SciDev.Net talks to ASSAf's Roseanne Diab about the role of science academies in climate change awareness and risk reduction.
Following their recent conference (AMASA-8) in Nigeria, Africa's science academies have issued a call for the continent's scientists to work harder to produce and disseminate information on climate change. Underpinning the call is a focus on the importance of trans-national collaborations between scientists to improve climate modelling, monitoring and analyses. Roseanne Diab, executive officer of the Academy of Science of South Africa, discusses the plea for 'urgent action'.
- Africa's science academies have issued a call for greater climate change monitoring and analyses in Africa
- Forming transnational partnerships between scientists is promoted as central to invigorating action on climate
- The role of governments in establishing monitoring networks is also crucial, says Diab
Why has it taken so long for the African community to take the lead in the study of climate change impacts?
I think that this is not a new call. What is new is the call on African academies to unite and act together.
There has been a varying amount of work by scientists in individual countries to examine the impact of climate change on sectors such as health and agriculture, and so on. This call is important because we are saying that academies must come together, coordinate and work jointly to achieve a greater impact. I think that is what brought about Africa's science academies call for the continent's scientists to work harder to produce and disseminate information on climate change
How do you propose this should be done?
The academies have the ability to coordinate studies and they also have access to policymakers. There needs to be leadership, through the Network of African Science Academies (NASAC) for example, to draw up proposals for studying climate change impacts.
We need to draw together experts from various countries in a way that showcases what African scientists can do and the common challenges we face in Africa. We then need to bring these to the attention of the policymakers who matter, at either a national or continental level.
How would funding for this be sourced?
Strangely enough, there is a huge amount of funding available for climate change activities. The problem is how to access it. I think that through coordinated action we may be able to acquire funding from global funding bodies. I don't think this will be problematic.
Is there any particular time frame for this study or will it continue indefinitely?
No, I don't think it will continue indefinitely. But it usually takes between 18 to 24 months to pull together this kind of study and produce a report explaining the science.
I think it is important to dispel any myths [about climate change] so that you don't have people publicly saying things that are unsupported by evidence. Unfortunately politicians can latch onto such myths as scientific evidence yet it's not credible.
That where is the value of science academies comes in. The academies have the means to shed light through evidence based information
Why do you think there has previously been a gap?
I think the science community in Africa has contributed through the work of individuals. So there are individuals within each of the countries who are probably well networked internationally but not on a continental level. They might have worked with European and North American scientists, but not with scientists from elsewhere in Africa.
What I think is different with this initiative [the African Science Academy Development Initiative] is that it has come from within Africa. It is saying: "let's coordinate African scientists within Africa; let our voices be heard as collective rather than merely as separate individuals". Of course, individuals are also important. But bringing individuals together in a collective form has huge potential.
What about capacity building?
Again, there was an interesting comment made yesterday that Africa is the most 'capacity built' continent in the world. And it is true. There are numerous capacity building initiatives in Africa. The issue is how to make them sustainable and effective.
My view is that partnerships are the most effective way of doing capacity building — both partnerships among individuals and between groups in Africa. I think the key problem that African scientists often face is that they work in isolation. Partnerships are the way forward. Networking between the academies is also a form of partnership: you come together and draw on each others' strengths.
How can African researchers step up their observation, modelling and analyses of the effects of climate change?
There are only few experts. With regard to monitoring climate change, monitoring networks need to be formed officially through governments. Our various meteorological institutes or services, in collaboration with the World Meteorological Organization, need to step up in terms of monitoring.
I think the academies can contribute by making the case that unless there are sound observational platforms, the models for monitoring climate change for Africa are not going to improve. We can get data from the rest of the world and from satellites, but we need ground-based observations in Africa.
Academies can make that case, but ultimately it is the governments that need to put monitoring networks in place.
And regarding modelling, I think we should try to avoid a situation where we are duplicating modelling expertise in too many places across the continent. Modelling requires infrastructure, well-qualified people, and a critical mass of people. In a way it is better to consolidate that expertise in one or more centres of excellence and use that to build capacity for the rest of the continent. I don't think we should duplicate every aspect of this, in every country in Africa. It will be far too expensive.

Shell casings may tie Texas shootout to Colo. death
Updated at 7:31 p.m. Eastern
DECATUR, Texas Shell casings from a shootout with a white supremacist Colorado parolee in Texas are the same make and caliber as those found at the home of Colorado's prison chief after he was killed.
The information comes from an application to search the wrecked car of Evan Spencer Ebel, who was killed in Thursday's shootout with Texas law enforcement.
Authorities also say they found a Domino's pizza bag and a jacket or shirt in the car's trunk. Denver Police say Ebel is a suspect in Sunday's killing of pizza delivery man Nathan Leon.
Ebel fired at Texas authorities who tried to stop him Thursday. His car matched the description of the one that was spotted outside the home of Colorado Corrections director Tom Clements just before his death.
Ebel, 28, is a Colorado parolee with a long record of convictions since 2003 for various crimes including assaulting a prison guard in 2008. Denver police Friday said they were "confident" he was involved in the death of Leon, 27, the pizza man whose body was found Sunday.
Authorities also are trying to determine whether the black Cadillac Ebel drove was the same seen outside the home of Clements, the prison official, who was shot and killed when he answered the door Tuesday evening. Texas authorities spotted the car Thursday and gave chase after Ebel shot and wounded a deputy. They fatally shot him after he crashed into a semi and opened fire on his pursuers.
Wise County Sheriff David Walker in Texas spoke to CBS News correspondent Anna Werner about what the car could tell the authorities. "I think the vehicle will lead us to where he's been," he said. He also added that it is unknown why he was in Texas.
Colorado Bureau of Investigation Assistant Director Steve Johnson told Werner that until all questions are answered, security will be tightened for state officials. "This has shocked people and officials and rocked them to the core," he said. "The precautions that they're taking probably at this point are warranted."
Ebel was pronounced brain-dead and placed on life support before being removed Friday morning, CBS station KCNC reported.
Texas authorities officially confirmed his identity Friday morning.
Meanwhile, Kaufman, Texas police chief Chris Aulbaugh said Friday the FBI is checking to see if the January shooting death of Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse is connected to Tuesday's killing of Clements. Hasse was killed about 100 miles away from where Ebel died.
Aulbaugh calls the investigation routine for attacks that appear similar. Both targeted law enforcement officials.
Ebel, a parolee in the Denver metro area, was a member of a white-supremacist prison gang called the 211s, a.k.a. the Brotherhood of Aryan Alliance, according to KCNC. It was founded at Colorado's Denver County Jail by Benjamin Davis in 1995.
Ebel is not on the radar of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups, but the center rates the gang as one of the most vicious white supremacist groups operating in the nation's prisons, comparable to the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas. Founded in 1995 to protect white prisoners from attacks, it operates only in Colorado and has anywhere from between a couple hundred to 1,000 members, senior fellow Mark Potok said Friday.
- White supremacist linked to Texas car chase, Colo. slaying
- Colo. police look for car in prison director's killing
The gang has grown into a sophisticated criminal enterprise where members are assigned military titles like "general" and extort money from fellow prisoners, regardless of race. Released members are expected to make money to support those still in prison, Potok said. He said members have to attack someone to get in and can only get out by dying.
"It's blood in and blood out," he said.
In 2005, 32 members were indicted for racketeering and the gang's founder, Benjamin Davis, was sentenced to over 100 years in prison.
The killing of Clements, 58, shocked his quiet neighborhood in Monument, a town of rolling hills north of Colorado Springs, for its brutality: He answered the door of his home Tuesday evening and was gunned down. Authorities wouldn't say if they thought the attack was related to his job, and all Clements' recent public activities and cases were scrutinized.
The Texas car chase started when a sheriff's deputy in Montague County, James Boyd, tried to pull over the Cadillac around 11 a.m. Thursday, authorities there said. They wouldn't say exactly why he was stopped, but called it routine.
The driver opened fire on Boyd, wounding him, Sheriff Walker said at an afternoon news conference in Decatur. He then fled south before crashing into a semi as he tried to elude his pursuers.
After the crash, he got out of the vehicle, shooting at deputies and troopers who had joined the chase. He shot at Decatur Police Chief Rex Hoskins four times as the chief tried to set up a roadblock.
"He wasn't planning on being taken alive," Hoskins said.
Ebel was struck in the head. KTVT reports he was kept on life support for a short time for potential organ donation.
Boyd, the deputy who was shot, was wearing a bulletproof vest and was at a Fort Worth hospital, authorities said. Officials had said he wasn't seriously injured but later said his condition was unknown.
Legal records show Ebel was convicted of several crimes in Colorado dating back to 2003, including assaulting a prison guard in 2008. He apparently was paroled, but Colorado Department of Corrections spokeswoman Alison Morgan said she could not release information on prisoners because of the ongoing investigation into Clements' death.
Scott Robinson, a criminal defense attorney and media legal analyst, represented Ebel in 2003 and 2004. He said Ebel had been sentenced to a halfway house for a robbery charge in 2003 before he was accused in two additional robbery cases the following year that garnered prison sentences of three and eight years.
"I thought he was a young man who was redeemable, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the case," Robinson said, saying he didn't recall the details of the case.
Robinson said he knew Ebel before he got in trouble. He said Ebel was raised by a single father and had a younger sister who died in a car accident years ago.
Vicky Bankey said Ebel was in his teens when she lived across from him in suburban Denver until his father moved a couple of years ago. She remembers seeing Ebel once jump off the roof of his house. "He was a handful. I'd see him do some pretty crazy things," she said.
"He had a hair-trigger temper as a kid. But his dad was so nice," Bankey said.
Ebel's father didn't return an after-hours phone message left at his business.
Clements came to Colorado in 2011 after working three decades in the Missouri prison system. Missouri Department of Corrections spokeswoman Mandi Steele said Thursday the department was ready to help in the probe if asked.
The last public official killed in Colorado in the past 10 years was Sean May, a prosecutor in suburban Denver. An assailant killed May as he arrived home from work. Investigators examined May's court cases, but the case remains unsolved.

The eastern half of the U.S. must be sippin' on haterade.
A group of academics, adorably and somewhat mysteriously dubbed Floating Sheep, came out with a study called "Geography of Hate," a color-coded image that maps out racist, homophobic and anti-disability tweets.
California's Humboldt State University helped the group analyze geotagged tweets, manually reading through 150,000 containing some kind of slur (read individually to determine if the context was, indeed, mean-spirited). They then figured the ratio of offensive posts compared to overall tweets in the country.
"Hateful tweets were aggregated to the county level and then normalized by the total number of tweets in each county," the group writes in a detailed explanation of the study. "This then shows a comparison of places with disproportionately high amounts of a particular hate word relative to all tweeting activity."
The result? Decidedly lopsided. Check it out.
Most of the hate-spewing had to do with race, using disparaging terms for Latinos, blacks and some Asians. Next highest number were homophobic tweets. And posts about the handicapped used the word "cripple." If you want to see the terms used (warning: highly offensive language) and the frequency by region, click here to view the interactive map.
Before we start harping on the right side of the country (and parts of Idaho and California east of Sacramento), though, consider another study, this one with a more global outlook. Despite their penchant for less-than-savory 140-character-or-less rants, Americans overall are among the most tolerant people in the world, according to some Swedish researchers.
A survey of 80 countries found Western nations, including United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and, yes, the U.S., the most accepting. Hong Kong, Jordan and Bangladesh, conversely, were deemed the most intolerant.
Basically, the survey says, economically free nations tend to be more accepting.
The World Value Survey asked people who they'd refuse to live next to. The countries with the highest number of respondents citing "people of a different race" were named least tolerant. Justifiably so.
Nearly 72 percent of Hong Kong residents surveyed said they refused to live next to someone of another race. In the U.S., less than 4 percent said the same.
"Europe is remarkably split – the west of the continent is generally more tolerant than the east, but France is a striking outlier with 22.7 percent of the French rejecting neighborhood diversity," the Daily Mail writes.
Americans may mouth off like a bunch of racist nuts online, but at least they're generally better about actually co-existing than other places.

Divine NatureASL
Be partakers of the divine nature. … Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity (2 Peter 1:4–7).
I have inherited divine qualities, which I will strive to develop.
Required Value Experiences
Complete the following three required value experiences. Have your parent or leader sign and date each experience after you finish.
What are some of the divine qualities of a daughter of God? Read "The Family: A Proclamation to the World"; 2 Peter 1; Alma 7:23–24; and Doctrine and Covenants 121:45. In your own words, list the divine qualities discussed in your reading. Think about how you can discover and develop each of these qualities. Record your ideas in your journal.
As a young woman you are blessed with divine feminine qualities. Increase your understanding of and appreciation for womanhood. Read Proverbs 31:10–31 and two talks on womanhood from a conference issue of the Church magazines. Review what "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" says about being a wife and a mother. Then ask your mother or another mother you admire what she thinks are important attributes for being a mother. List the attributes in your journal. Then choose one of those attributes and strive to develop it. After two weeks report your success to a parent or leader.
Make your home life better. For two weeks make a special effort to strengthen your relationship with a family member by showing love through your actions. Refrain from judging, criticizing, or speaking unkindly, and watch for positive qualities in that family member. Write notes of encouragement, pray for this family member, find ways to be helpful, and verbally express your love. Share your experiences and the divine qualities you've discovered with that family member or with a parent or leader.
Additional Value Experiences
Complete three additional value experiences. You may select from the following options or write up to two of your own. Your parent or leader must approve those you write yourself before you begin. Have your parent or leader sign and date each experience after you finish.
Memorize the sacrament prayers in Doctrine and Covenants 20:77, 79. During the sacrament, listen carefully to the prayers and think about what it means to take upon yourself the name of Jesus Christ and how doing this should affect your actions and decisions. Practice keeping your baptismal covenants. Begin by doing something each day to recognize and further develop your divine qualities and to help you always remember the Lord Jesus Christ. After two weeks record your experience in your journal.
Obedience is an attribute of the Savior. Strive to be more obedient to your parents. Read Luke 2:40–51 and John 6:38. Develop a pattern of obedience as you make a special effort to treat your parents with respect and kindness and do what your parents ask you to do without having to be reminded. After two weeks record in your journal how being more obedient motivated you to want to continue doing so and how it has helped you understand your divine nature and the divine roles of mothers and fathers.
Develop your divine qualities. Read Matthew 5:9; John 15:12; Galatians 5:22–23; Colossians 3:12–17; 1 John 4:21; and Moroni 7:44–48. Memorize your favorite verse from one of these passages. Identify the divine qualities mentioned in all these scriptures and list them in your journal. Select one quality, and for two weeks strive to make it a part of your daily life. Record your progress and experiences in your journal.
Learn the definition of the word peacemaker. Then find and read five scriptures that teach about peacemakers. Become an example of a peacemaker in your home and at school as you refrain from criticizing, complaining, or speaking unkindly to or about others. Pray each morning and evening to Heavenly Father for help to do this. After two weeks write in your journal what new habits you want to develop, how being a peacemaker is part of your divine nature, and how you will continue to be a peacemaker.
Personalized Value Experiences
Value Project
After you have completed six divine nature value experiences, create a project that will help you practice what you have learned. This should be a significant effort that will take at least ten hours to complete. Prayerfully seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost to select a meaningful project.

View all records related to this instrument
The Space Shuttle Discovery carrying UARS was launched on September
12, 1991 from Kennedy Space Flight Center. UARS was released to orbit
on September 15, 1991, and the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric
Sounder (ISAMS) began scientific observations of the earth's upper
atmosphere September 26, 1991.
ISAMS is a limb-sounding radiometer which uses a combination of
pressure-modulated and wide-band infrared channels to measure Carbon
Monoxide, Water Vapour, Nitrogen Dioxide, Nitric Acid, Ozone, Nitric
Oxide, Nitrous Oxide, Methane, Dinitrogen Pentoxide, Aerosol, and
Temperature in the middle atmosphere. Typically, ISAMS produces
vertical profiles of constituents and temperature every 200 km along
the tangent track, with an instantaneous field of view of about 2.4 km
vertically. ISAMS made measurements, with several significant gaps,
between 80 S and 80 N from 26 September 1991 to 29 July 1992. UARS is
in a near sun-synchronous orbit so that while the 15 orbits/day are
spaced approximately every 24 degrees of longitude around the equator,
the sampled local solar time actually changes by 20 minutes/day.
The ISAMS Primary Science Objectives:
(1) To determine the thermal structure of the middle atmosphere and
its fluctuations in space and time,
(2) To investigate the photochemistry of nitrogen-containing species,
(3) To study the water vapour budget,
(4) To investigate the role of volcanic and polar stratospheric
aerosol in stratospheric chemistry.
Typically, over 2600 temperature profiles/day were retrieved, spaced
every 200 km along the limb-viewing track and nominally extending from
100-0.01 mb (15-80 km).

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Connecticut is headed back to a familiar place — the Final Four.Breanna Stewart scored 21 points and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis added 17 to help top-seed UConn rout Kentucky 83-53 on Monday night and advance to a record sixth-straight national semifinal.The Huskies will face either Notre Dame or Duke in the national semifinals on Sunday in New Orleans. The Irish and Blue Devils play Tuesday night. UConn (33-4) broke a tie with Stanford (2008-12), LSU (2004-08) and itself (2000-04) by reaching the Final Four again.
It was the second straight season that UConn beat Kentucky in the regional finals. The Huskies topped the Wildcats by 15 last year 105 miles to the north of Bridgeport in Kingston, R.I.
This game wasn't as close. Kentucky stayed close for the first 10 minutes with their "40 minutes of dread" defense. Then UConn turned up its own defensive intensity.The Huskies trailed 23-22 with just 9 minutes left in the first half. That's when Stewart - honored as the outstanding player of the Bridgeport Regional - and UConn's "no-name" defense took over allowing three points the rest of the half. Kentucky missed 13 of its final 14 shots in the half with the only make coming when Jelleah Sidney banked in a 3-pointer from the wing.While UConn was playing lockdown defense, Stewart was dominating on the offensive end. The 6-foot-4 star, who was the national high school player of the year last season, scored nine points and had a vicious two-handed block during that closing run.
After Sidney's 3-pointer, Stewart calmly converted a three-point play on the other end. UConn led 48-26 at the half.
Kentucky couldn't get within 20 in the second half.The loudest cheer of the night from the sellout crowd of nearly 8,600 came when the video board showed highlights of Louisville's upset victory over Baylor on Sunday night.UConn's only losses this season came to Baylor and three times to Notre Dame.
Stewart didn't play well in most of those losses, but really has stepped her game up over the past few weeks. After struggling through the middle part of the season, the heralded first-year has averaged 16.4 points since the start of the Big East tournament.
It's been an unusual season for UConn, which for the first time in 19 years didn't win either the Big East regular season or tournament title. Now the Huskies are two wins away from an eighth national championship.
This was the 19th time in the past 23 seasons that UConn had reached the regional final. They have made the Final Four 14 times overall, including the last six.
None of the regional final games during this current run have been close with only Rutgers coming within 10 in 2008. UConn's lead ballooned to 36 points in the second half of this game. When the final buzzer sounded Mosqueda-Lewis jumped into the arms of Stewart to celebrate.
Coach Geno Auriemma got a gritty effort out of junior center Stefanie Dolson, who has a stress fracture in her right ankle and an injured left foot as well. She wore a brace on her left leg and a compression sock on her right one. While she only scored two points, she had 11 rebounds and four assists.
The loss brought to a close a record year for the Wildcats (30-5). Kentucky had the most victories in school history. Not bad for a school rich in basketball tradition on the men's side. Still coach Matthew Mitchell was left searching for the school's first trip to the Final Four.
The Wildcats have made the NCAA tournament in each of the past four seasons and reached the regional finals in three of those years falling short each time.
Senior A'dia Mathies, the two-time SEC player of the year, had a quiet game scoring only 14 points with 11 of them coming in the second half. Kastine Evans, who hit the big 3-pointer to help beat Delaware in the regional semifinals had just two points on 1 of 9 shooting. Her older brother R.J., who played on the UConn's men's basketball team this season, sat behind the Wildcats bench in a Kentucky shirt.
The Huskies have won 43 of their past 44 NCAA games in the state of Connecticut, including going 9-1 in Bridgeport. The lone blemish came against Duke in 2006 in the regional final.
