It's time to break out the recruiting big board and take a closer look at the (tentative) 2011 UTEP Miners football recruiting class.
Huge news for UTEP as Mike Price just received a commitment from a dual threat quarterback who had heavy interest from Washington, Rutgers, and Ole Miss among others.
There have been rumors flying about this for weeks, but now it's official. Linebacker Brandon Durant from Copperas Cove, TX has decommitted from UTEP and committed to the Missouri Tigers. Durant was perhaps the highest rated of all of UTEP's incoming class as he was rated as the 71st best overall prospect in the state of Texas. This has to worry coach Mike Price. As UTEP's season is fading away, will other programs pluck away the top of his 2011 class?
It looks like Tim Floyd has gone the JC route for the 6th member of his 2011 recruiting class.
UTEP may have lost the game yesterday, but the Miners won the recruiting war today.
Tim Floyd has nabbed the 5th member of his full recruiting class.
Mike Price has landed 3 star CB Zoey Williams out of Sugar Land, Texas.
More on this tomorrow, but more good news along the recruiting front. Here's a link to his Rivals page.
Just found some highlights from Jonovan Griffin's legendary performance against McKinney High School.
UTEP has received a commitment from a dual threat QB from McKinney.

UCL Enterprise Society Team wins Enterprise Challenge
28 June 2011
The UCL Enterprise Society Team won the
enFinite "potential unleashed" enterprise challenge at Imperial Business School
on 11th June 2011. The team of 5 UCL students Marisha Naz, Monica Jarpa, Amir
Bendjazia, Laci Bicskei and Tristan Pritchard-Meaker fought off stiff
competition from other top universities, including Imperial, LSE and Cambridge,
as well as two MBA Teams.
The team chose to analyse the financial micropayments industry and prepared a compelling presentation highlighting entrepreneurial opportunities within this area, followed by a Q&A in front of entrepreneurs and industry experts.
winning team together with Sandeep Bharj and Martin Poschenrieder from the UCL
Enterprise Society Committee.
The importance of a strong team has been
emphasized numerous times in the entrepreneurial arena and the Society wanted
to ensure we put the best possible team together for the challenge. The society
specifically recruited team members for the challenge, trying to ensure a
balance of skills, experience, knowledge and backgrounds. The team consisted of
undergraduates, masters and research students from 5 different countries,
studying in 5 different departments, which also shows the diversity of students
at UCL.
"Although we had a very
interdisciplinary team and we did not know each other previously, we created a
very collaborative team dynamic and I really enjoyed working together". –
Monica (MSc)
The team only met the day before, at an
ice-breaker organized by the Enterprise Society in which they performed a task
individually and then again as a group.
"The ice-breaker exercise we did as a
team was a great indicator that we would work well together as a unit: each
individual's score was lower than the group score, meaning every team member
was bringing value and that no one was better off alone!" – Amir (BSc)
"The challenge was very enjoyable, with
many strong teams in attendance. It was great to have an innovative and
'outside of the box' problem to solve which really pushed us as a team. Thank
you to the UCL Enterprise Society for opening up the chance to compete; it was
certainly a fresh and new recruitment strategy. We really pulled together and
because of our varied skills, understanding and strengths delivered a novel
answer to the question set" – Tristan (EngD)

Jacksonville Daily Progress
Can 229 people be wrong?
That's the current number of people petitioning Jacksonville officials to create a special designated day in honor of slain city employee Stacy DeWayne Hunter, a beloved area figure.
"There is no telling how many signatures we are going to be able to get before this is over," said Veronica Hunter, Stacy Hunter's sister. "I really want something positive to come out of this."
Nov. 1 was Hunter's birthday, which is why petition organizers hope to get the city to name the day in his honor, but not create the kind of official holiday that would cause people to miss work.
Jacksonville City Manager Mo Raissi said creating such a day would take authorization by the city council.
Hunter, a city code enforcement officer, was shot and killed early Oct. 27 at the night club on North Jackson Street that bears his name, allegedly by a distant relative.
Subsequently, Veronica Hunter and Lucinda "Cindy" Hollis, a cousin-in-law of the victim's, decided to honor his memory by leading the petition effort. Hollis believes there is an excellent chance this will happen.
Hunter had been an important member of the city's code enforcement team for nearly two decades and also coached youth athletics and many other community activities involving children. He was loved by friends, family and coworkers.
This is why an enthusiastic Hollis said Monday she was so excited she could be working on something to honor him.
"Oh, yes. Thank you, Lord," Hollis said. "Stacy did so much. I'm telling you, there's no one else out there like him. … What we're looking for is a holiday where everyone in the community can come together."
Hollis estimated that 84 people had signed the online version of the petition and 145 the hand version she was helping circulate as of Monday. That number is expected to greatly grow, she said.
Hollis added she is communicating about the matter with Mo Raissi, Jacksonville's city manager, who has told them there are no hard and fast deadlines or minimum amounts of signatures required.
But Raissi said Monday that creating a city holiday, even for an admired figure like Hunter, will take work. This is new territory, he said, and authorization by the city council will be required as will lots of lobbying.
Calculations provided to the council of how much such a holiday could cost will probably also be necessary, the city manager said.
Once the signatures are all collected, Raissi said he will forward them to the city council.
Meanwhile, one online petitioner, Chaquarra Martinez of Jacksonville, wrote that a "Stacy Hunter Day" would be very important to the city.
"A lot of youth looked at Mr. Hunter as a father figure," Martinez said. "He thought the youth about hard work, motivation, and values. He could have did so many other things with his time but he choose to give his time to the youth."
Yalanda Crayton, also, of Jacksonville expressed similar sentiments on the site.
"Stacy was a wonderful man and he did go far and beyond for our community and our children," Crayton wrote. "He coached my boys in football and was like a second father to them. There was nothing he wouldn't do to help anyone."
Hollis agreed that Hunter's work with kids in the community was demonstrative of the unconditional love he showed everyone.
"He went beyond his job as code enforcer," Hollis said. "As we all are well aware, he would take it upon himself to go and mow yards that were not up to code. He did not have to do that, but he chose to do it. I feel we owe at least this small thing to him."
Those who wish to sign the petition can do so online at http://www.change.org/petitions/the-city-of-jacksonville-texas-make-november-1st-stacy-hunter-day.
Or, those who wish to sign the hand petition can contact either Hollis at firstname.lastname@example.com or Veronica Hunter at email@example.com.

Joey Rovero's quest for pills ended at Pacifica Pharmacy.
It was the same for Naythan Kenney,
Matt Stavron and Joseph Gomez.
All four were patients of a Rowland Heights
Joey Rovero's quest for pills ended at Pacifica Pharmacy.
It was the same for Naythan Kenney,
Matt Stavron and Joseph Gomez.
All four were patients of a Rowland Heights
physician who was a prolific prescriber of narcotic painkillers and other addictive drugs. To get their fix, they needed more than a piece of paper.
They needed a pharmacist willing to dispense the drugs, and at Pacifica they found one.
All four died of drug overdoses after filling prescriptions at the tiny pharmacy in Huntington Beach, court and coroners' records show.
Pacifica's owner, Thang Q. "Frank" Tran, sold pain medications in large quantities. Particularly popular with his customers were high-dose, 80-milligram tablets of OxyContin. Tran filled nearly twice as many of those prescriptions as did nearby Walgreens, CVS and Sav-On pharmacies combined, according to state records.
Many of his customers traveled long distances and paid cash. Rovero drove more than 350 miles from Arizona State University in Tempe to get his prescriptions in Rowland Heights and then 33 more miles to the pharmacy.
"I thought to myself, 'Why in the world would these kids go that much farther out of their way?' " said April Rovero, whose son was 21 when he died. "Someone must have told them to go there."
Pharmacists are supposed to be a last line of defense against misuse of prescription medications. By law, they are required to scrutinize prescriptions, size up customers and refuse to dispense a drug when they suspect the patient has no medical need for it.
Some, however, provide massive amounts of painkillers and anti-anxiety drugs to addicts and dealers with no questions asked, according to state records, regulators and law enforcement officials.
Rogue pharmacists are key enablers of drug abuse and an important source of supply for the illegal market.
State officials who license and oversee pharmacies are overmatched by the scale of the problem.
Prescription drug abuse has increased sharply over the last decade, fueling a doubling of drug fatalities nationwide.
California's 42,000 pharmacists filled 318 million prescriptions last year.
Those for OxyContin, Dilaudid and other potent painkillers have increased 52% over the last five years, according to a review of prescription data collected by the state. The total dosage dispensed by pharmacies has also grown: by nearly 50%, the data show.
The task of identifying careless or corrupt pharmacists and initiating disciplinary action falls to 37 investigators for the California Board of Pharmacy.
"We are struggling to keep up because there are more pharmacies, more licensees, more places to go," said Virginia Herold, the agency's executive director. "We work really hard. But there's a limit to what we can do."
The board has added investigators in recent years. Even so, "we do have some pharmacies that seem to be able to help deliver unconscionable quantities of drugs to patients," Herold said.
It doesn't help that illegal dispensing is a low priority for law enforcement agencies. Criminal prosecutions are rare and penalties typically light.
Rogue pharmacists have a symbiotic relationship with physicians who prescribe drugs for addicts. Neither can flourish without the other.
Their cooperation is usually unplanned. Through trial and error, addicts whose doctor writes prescriptions for narcotics will discover a pharmacist willing to dispense the drugs without the appropriate scrutiny. Then word gets around.
Both pharmacist and doctor can reap a windfall by writing and filling large numbers of prescriptions for cash.
High-volume dispensing of addictive drugs was par for the course at Burbank Medical Pharmacy, according to board records.
In a single day — Dec. 3, 2007 — the pharmacy filled 85 prescriptions for pain medications, according to a board accusation. None of the doctors who wrote the prescriptions were from the Burbank area, nor were any of the patients, the complaint states. Both are signs that a pharmacy is catering to addicts, according to regulators and law enforcement officials.
Burbank Medical also dispensed painkillers in volume to a drug dealer who claimed to be picking them up for patients too sick to do so, according to the board accusation and court files. The dealer was convicted in a prescription drug fraud scheme that prosecutors said generated millions of dollars.
Pharmacist Nancy Cha and the pharmacy are accused by the board of failing to ensure that the drugs they dispensed were for patients with legitimate need. They have not been implicated in the drug dealer's fraud scheme.
The pharmacy also failed to account for 12,610 OxyContin tablets with a street value of more than $1 million, the board said.
Cha's attorney, Richard Moss, said she was a well-meaning pharmacist who naively believed she was helping people in need.

ST. LOUIS -- When you count spring training, the Texas Rangers have played more than 200 games this year. When you count all the games they've played since moving to Arlington in 1972, they've played more than 8,000. But they've never played one like tonight.
And that's the challenge: Keep everything the same heading into the first game in franchise history that the Rangers can win a World Series.
"I went to bed last night very relaxed, and I woke up this morning very relaxed," manager Ron Washington said in his pre-Game Six session with reporters late this afternoon at Busch Stadium. "I did what I always do; I got up and ironed my clothes, I ate breakfast, I read the newspaper, and I left the hotel at 1, and I came to the ballpark. That's my routine. I didn't feel any different feeling.
"I walked out of the hotel feeling as confident about my baseball team as I've always felt all year. I walked in the clubhouse with the same confidence. I'm sitting right here with the same confidence. The butterflies haven't started yet. I'm quite sure they will once 7:05 rolls around. But the more that [starting pitcher] Colby Lewis goes and gets outs in an inning the more my butterflies will subside."
Washington said he can't press to win tonight and avoid a Game Seven. He has to simply keep putting his team in position to win like he's done all year.
"I am going to manage this game according to the way the game says I have to manage it," Washington said. "Of course our intentions are no different than they've always been, to go out there and win the ballgame. I'm certainly not going to go out there and start trying to outsmart the game of baseball. I'm just going to go out there and whatever the situation says needs to be done, I'm going to try to make sure I put my guys in a position that we can be successful."
Be sure to check my earlier post on the Cardinals' thoughts heading into Game Six and join me for the live game blog in the 8 p.m. hour.

Known as "The Janitor" and getting his start in MMA in 1997 Vladimir made his UFC debut with a win over Yuki Kondo at UFC 32 and would be given a title shot, losing to long-time champion Tito Ortiz. After several more fights with the promotion he eventually became a free agent following a KO loss to Andrei Arlovski. Matyushenkowas the only IFL light heavyweight champion, winning the title in a bout with Alex Schoenauer and defending successfully against Jamal Patterson. At UFC 103 Matyushenko returned to the UFC where he was able to rattle off three straight wins before being dominated by Jon Jones.

So - you're selling your home. Here's what you need to know about inspections items. First of all, when someone puts a contract on your house they will more than likely do an inspection. I don't believe I've ever sold a home that wasn't inspected prior to the sale. When working with my buyers I tell them that a thorough inspection is an absolute must even if the home looks like it's in good condition or they know the current owner. A good inspector will find all sorts of hidden defects, so be sure to get a recommendation for a thorough and detailed inspector. And remember, all inspectors are NOT created equal. I, for one, refer my clients to the most amazing inspector - he gets up on roofs and into attics and generally spends about 4 hours inspecting a home. this would be for a medium-sized town home - for larger home you should expect an inspection to take 5-6 hours if done properly)
But I digress. So you're selling your home. The new buyer will get your home inspected within 5-10 days of signing the contract. Even if the house is being sold "as is" the purchasers will probably (and should) still inspect your home and are allowed to terminate the contract based on any of the findings. Okay, the buyer's inspector comes and evaluates your property and writes up the inspection report. (you're allowed to see it) Next, the buyer's agent will write an inspection addendum asking for certain items be fixed in order for the transaction to continue.
This is where it can get tricky. I've recently had the most frustrating experiences with the buyer and their agent asking for inappropriate items be fixed or replaced. Here is one example - during a recent sale in which the home I was listing was in really great condition, the buyer's Realtor asked for new appliances. They were in working condition, had no defects, and were not extremely old. If the appliances are working you cannot ask for replacements, people. The same goes with HVAC systems. If it works, you can't ask for a new one. However, you can ask for the appliances or HVAC system to be fixed if there's a problem with those units.
Here are a few items that should be fixed if the inspector finds a problem:
Roof or chimney issues
Window issues- opening/closing or broken seal
Any leaks in bathroom or kitchen
HVAC system
Defective appliances
Electrical issues
Mold (this is a HUGE issue)
Termite damage
Please note: a buyer can decide to either ask for repairs or not. Maybe they're planning to replace the appliances anyway. In that case there's no need to ask for the appliances to be repaired. A monetary credit amount can be agreed upon in lieu of making repairs. A combination of doing repairs and issuing a credit is sometimes a good solution.
Also - buyers - you can't ask for new carpet, fresh paint or landscaping because these are not inspection items.
Inspections! This can be a daunting part of the process of selling your home. While this blog may make it sound simple, inspections can often lead to misunderstandings and conflicts between buyers and sellers, and I've seen many deals go south due to these conflicts.
Remember - everything is negotiable, so if you're planning on buying or selling a home, it's important to work with a Realtor who really knows how to negotiate for you. Contact me with any of your Real Estate related questions! I would love to assist you!

Shows how to access databases from OSGi applications running in Karaf and how to abstract from the DB product by installing DataSources as OSGi services. Some new Karaf shell commands can be used to work with the database from the command line. Finally JDBC and JPA examples show how to use such a DataSource from user code.
Installing the driver
The first step is to install the driver jar(s) for your database system into Karaf. Most drivers are already valid bundles and available in the maven repo. So this is tpyically only
one Karaf command. If the driver is available in maven but no bundle we can most times use the wrap: protocol of Karaf to make it a bundle on the fly. If the driver is not even
in the repo we have to install the file into the maven repo first.
For derby the following command will work
> install -s mvn:org.apache.derby/derby/10.8.2.2
See the db/datasource folder on github for installation instructions for (db2, derby, h2, mysql and oracle).
Installing the datasource
In Java EE servers and servlet containters you typically use JNDI to install a DataSource on the server level so the application can just refer to it and so does not have to know the specific driver or database url. In OSGi JNDI is replaced by OSGi services. So the best way to decouple your application from the database is to offer a DataSource as an OSGi service.
As we can deploy simple blueprint xml files in Karaf this is really easy. We define a bean with the class of the specific datasource impl and configure it. Then we publish that bean as an OSGi service with the interface a javax.sql.DataSource. This works because Karaf uses dynamic imports when it deploys blueprint context files so all classes are available.
For each database flalour you can find a suitable blueprint.xml in db/datasource.
Browsing the database using the Karaf db:* commands
As part of this tutorial I created some simple Karaf commands to work with databases from the Karaf shell. These commands proved to be quite handy so I will try to move them to the Karaf project.
db:select <name>
When called without parameters the command shows all available DataSources.
karaf@root> db:select
Sel | Name | Product | Version | URL
| jdbc/derbyds | Apache Derby | 10.8.2.2 - (1181258) | jdbc:derby:test
| jdbc/mysqlds | MySQL | 5.5.17 | jdbc:mysql://localhost:3
When called with the name of a DataSource it will select the DataSource:
db:select jdbc/derbyds
db:exec "<sql>"
Executes a SQL command.
karaf@root> db:exec "create table person (name varchar(100), twittername varchar(100))" karaf@root> db:exec "insert into person (name, twittername) values ('Christian Schneider', '@schneider_chris')"
This creates a table person and adds a row to it.
Shows the current tables in the database.
db:tables TABLE_CAT | TABLE_SCHEM | TABLE_NAME | TABLE_TYPE | REMARKS | TYPE_CAT | TYPE_SCHEM | TYPE_NAME | SELF_REFERENCING_COL_NAME | REF_GENERATION ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | SYS | SYSALIASES | SYSTEM TABLE | | | | | | | SYS | SYSVIEWS | SYSTEM TABLE | | | | | | | SYSIBM | SYSDUMMY1 | SYSTEM TABLE | | | | | | | APP | PERSON | TABLE | | | | | |
Executes a query and shows the results.
karaf@root> db:query "select * from person"
Christian Schneider | @schneider_chris
Accessing the database using JDBC
The project db/examplejdbc shows how to use the datasource we installed and execute jdbc commands on it. The example uses a blueprint.xml to refer to the OSGi service for the DataSource and injects it into the class
DbExample.The test method is then called as init method and shows some jdbc statements on the DataSource.The DbExample class is completely independent of OSGi and can be easily tested standalone using the DbExampleTest. This test shows how to manually set up the DataSource outside of OSGi.
Build and install
Build works like always using maven
> mvn clean install
In Karaf we just need our own bundle as we have no special dependencies
> install -s mvn:net.lr.tutorial.karaf.db/db-examplejdbc/1.0-SNAPSHOT Using datasource H2, URL jdbc:h2:~/test Christian Schneider, @schneider_chris,
After installation the bundle should directly print the db info and the persisted person.
Accessing the database using JPA
For larger projects it is quite typical that JPA is used instead of hand crafted SQL. Using JPA has two big advantages over JDBC. You need to maintain less SQL code and JPA provides dialects for the subtle differences in databases that else you would have to code yourself. For this example we use OpenJPA as the JPA Implementation. On top of it we add Apache Aries JPA which supplies an implementation of the OSGi JPA Service Specification and blueprint integration for JPA.
The project examplejpa shows a simple project that implements a PersonService that manages Person objects.
Person is just a java bean annotated with JPA @Entitiy. As OpenJPA needs to enhance the bytecode of the classes we need to add the openjpa-maven-plugin to the pom.xml which prepares the classes for JPA.
Additionally the project implements two Karaf shell commands person:add and person:list that allow to easily test the project.
Like in a typical JPA project the peristence.xml defines the DataSource lookup, database settings and lists the persistent classes. The datasource is refered using "osgi:service/javax.sql.DataSource/(osgi.jndi.service.name=jdbc/derbyds)". This makes a lookup for an OSGi service with the given interface and properties.
The OSGi JPA Service Specification defines that the Manifest should contain an attribute "Meta-Persistence" that points to the persistence.xml. So this needs to be defined in the config of the maven bundle plugin in the prom. The Aries JPA container will scan for these attributes
and register an initialized EntityMangerFactory as an OSGi service on behalf of the use bundle.
We use a blueprint.xml context to inject an EntityManager into our service implementation and to provide automatic transaction support.
The following snippet is the interesting part:
<bean id="personService" class="net.lr.tutorial.karaf.db.examplejpa.impl.PersonServiceImpl"> <jpa:context property="entityManager" unitname="person" /> <tx:transaction method="*" value="Required"/> </bean>
This makes a lookup for the EntityManagerFactory OSGi service that is suitable for the persistence unit person and injects an EnityManager into the
PersonServiceImpl. Additionally it wraps each call to a method of PersonServiceImpl with code that opens a transaction
before the method and commits on success or rollbacks on any exception thrown.
Build and Install
The project builds with mvn clean install like usual. A prerequisite is that the derby datasource is installed like described above. Then we have to install the bundles for openjpa, aries (jpa, transaction, proxy and jndi) and of course our db-examplejpa bundle.
See ReadMe.txt for the exact commands to use.
person:add 'Christian Schneider' @schneider_chris
This should create a person object with the above data and persist it to the database. Unfortunately this currently does not work. I guess I still have an error somewhere. So instead we use the db commands to populate the DB by manually:
db:select jdbc/derbyds
db:exec "insert into person (id, name, twittername) values (1, 'Christian Schneider', '@schneider_chris')"
Then we list the persisted persons
karaf@root> person:list Christian Schneider, @schneider_chris
Using pooling for datasources
I any real world scenario you will need pooling for the DataSource. To achieve this you have two good options:
1. Use a pooling datasource from the vendor:
| Class
| Derby
| MySQL
| Oracle
2. Use the PoolingDataSource from dbcp like described in this gist by Andreas Pieber: https://gist.github.com/2761628
In this tutorial we learned how to work with databases in Apache Karaf. We installed drivers for our database and a DataSource. We were able to check and manipulate the DataSource using the db:* commands. In the examplejdbc we learned how to acquire a datasource
and work with it using plain jdbc. This is really easy but a bit verbose. You might want to try the spring JdbcTemplate to remove all the cleanup code. Last but not least we also used jpa to access our database.
In theory JPA and OSGi work together really well. Keep in mind though that JPA support for OSGi is still quite fresh. It took me quite a while to get it all running. The documentation is quite sparse and I still have not been able to fix the persist issue. I will update the code and blog entry as soon as I have the jpa persist working.

NORMAN — Courtesy of the Pioneer Library System and the city, the Norman Public Library West plans to open Nov. 1.
The westside library satellite is located inside the former Borders Bookstore, 300 Norman Center Court. Pioneer Library System purchased the defunct bookstore about two years ago with plans to renovate the building for use as administrative offices and a service center.
The spacious building was more than PLS administrators needed, however, and the library system offered 7,000 square feet worth of space to Norman for use as a westside satellite.
Growth on Norman's westside has been strong, and the site is located just off Interstate 35 near Sooner Mall, where many children's storytime groups were being hosted in an attempt to meet the growing needs of the expanding community.
Now, the dual-use building is nearing completion, and librarians have been busy this week filling the bookshelves.
Collections manager Caroline Dulworth said 14 pallets were delivered this week, with 17,000 books for librarians to sort, shelve and organize in the new library. Because the site is smaller than a main branch library, only the most in-demand items will be carried.
"It's more popular fiction and non-fiction," Dulworth said. "It's not a research collection like it is at the main library."
High interest non-fiction includes gardening, diets, animals, cooking trends and other hot-topic hobbyist topics. The westside library will carry the newest publications.
"Almost all of the books in this library have been published in the last three years," Dulworth said.
The smaller book collection also will be organized differently. Adult fiction novels will be grouped together as fiction, whether is popular fiction, romance, sci-fi or mystery. Additionally, teen fiction will be grouped with adult fiction.
"A lot of adults are reading teen novels, and teens are reading a lot of adult novels," Dulworth said.

Madonna advised us to get a certain font printed on the flashlights and she was right - it looks very good!
When my husband received the proof-it was small and he did not see the - between last digits in phone #. He okayed it and thus it was printed like that. We will use them as I can't afford to have them re-done, but being in printing myself. mgr and customer service, I would have contacted my customer just to verify, since it was a phone # and it would have been very unusual for a # to be printed like that.
The item I received was not the item pictured, but I spoke to my representative and we worked it out. I was trying to match an item to what my clients already were using. I actually got compliments on the new style and was told by some that they like the new style better.

10 Optimistic Predictions for 2014
by, 02-22-2014 at 09:41 PM (749 Views)
Even amidst the 10-plus inches of snow (cue meat sauce) the Twin Cites area received in the past week, the promise of girls in bikinis and a clean-slate for baseball teams are soon approaching. Soon we will be trading in our winter hats, gloves, jackets and ice scrapers for baseball gloves, sun glasses and tans. So, for my first blog, I figured it would be apropos to begin thinking optimistically about our favorite major league ball team.
10) Target Field will sell-out 15 games this season.
- Ticket sales were down over 10% from 2012, and the Twins only recorded 6 sellouts last year. We know that just having a beautiful stadium doesn't automatically put people in the stands ex. PNC Park pre-2013. Obviously the product on the field hasn't made people want to buy tickets in recent years, but hopefully the ASG and prospect hype for the Twins helps create a better home field advantage.
9) Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes will combine for over 30 wins.
-Nolasco throughout his career as been pretty consistently around the 15 win mark and a shade over 4.00 ERA (4.37 ERA in 23 career games against AL). He throws the type of game that should fit in well with Target Field. Phil Hughes is coming off of a terrible year at Yankee stadium where the home run ratio is comparable to that in a beer-league softball game. Hopefully we get the Hughes of 2010 (18-8). Nolasco finishes with 17 wins and Hughes finishes with 14.
8) Alex Meyer makes the opening day staff.
- Why not? The kid is 6'9" and throws high 90's heat and has a wicked slider. He is by far the best pitcher in our system and everyone knows the key to a successful team is strong starting pitching.
7) Oswaldo Arcia will hit 25 home runs.
- He still needs to improve his decision making at the plate, but there is no denying that he has the power to put the ball into the seats. Last year he had 14 home runs in 97 games, so extrapolation puts him around 25 HR in a full season.
6) Terry Ryan will make some moves at the trading deadline.
- With the best farm system in the bigs, the future is bright for the Twins. Look for Ryan to trade for a starting pitcher at the deadline.
5) We won't lose 90 games this year.
- Please.
4) Minnesota will be in the playoff race in August.
- With an improved (on paper) pitching staff and a line-up that can hopefully knock in a few runs, we will be within 5 games of a wild card spot into August. However, I don't see this team making the playoffs unless we get career years from multiple players.
3) Joe Mauer will win his 4th batting title.
- This is an extremely difficult task with studs like Miguel Cabrera, Mike Trout, Robinson Cano and Manny Machado in the same league, but Mauer seems to always be near the top of the league in average. I think the move to first will benefit Mauer as a hitter, as his body won't be taking an absolute beating. He's a career .323 batter who has hit .365 before...I put him at .340 this year.
2) Miguel Sano will be in the Major League this year.
- Minnesota has been starving for a bona-fide power bat in the middle of the line-up since Justin Morneau got hurt. Sano has tons of power and can drive in base runners better than any prospect in baseball. His .280/.610/.992 in the minors compares well with Jose Bautista (granted it was in the minor league).
1) Byron Buxton's play will force the Twins to call him up this year.
- One of the highest touted prospects of the decade, if not any decade. A true 5 tool (if not more) player. I'm extremely excited to see this kid's progress this season. Look for him to tear up the minors again this year, get called up in September, and win the AL rookie of the year in 2015.

Crystal problem
By Nana
from Vancouver BC
I love my watch! The ammolite inlay is, of course,the most beautiful aspect of it. Unfortunately wearing it every day has resulted in the 3cm.x3cm. crystal getting scratched in about 20 lines from corner to corner. I have talked to Shopping Channel customer service and was given a number to talk to Korite but they can't help me. They suggested I phone a watch repair shop. The very experienced watch man that I talked to said that we could try to find a replacement part but it would likely scratch again. He's right. The watch crystal for this particular watch is set "above" the rest of the watch so there is nothing to protect it from scratching. The glass is always the first part to touch any surface that you are working around. I had hoped that this watch would be the most beautiful that I had ever owned but the scratches detract from the view of the ammolite. It's a shame.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

nice inlay...poor design
By Marnie
from New Brunswick
I returned this watch with great hesitation. The inlay of ammolite was beautiful with lots of blue and violet colours. The watch itself seemed out of balance somehow. I found the square shape too large and the watch band seemed too narrow in comparison. Not a winner design wise, in my oppinion, but the inlay was outstanding.
By Carly
from Calgary AB
Ken with Korite said the watches were their finest quaily of the line and he tucked some away for future gifts. I ordered one for my nephew's upcoming wedding. Well, those mosaic ammolite was too much red. The watch does not worth that much.
Super watch!
By Brit
from Vancouver
Love it!!!
Love this watch!
By Pincher Creek born.
from Victoria, BC
I can see where it might not be for everyone, but I love it. The comment about the Roman numeral 4 was interesting as I have another watch as well as a clock with the same design. Ammolite is as unique as the area it is mined. I love the colours and have no problem seeing the blue. Korite stand behind their products. I know this from experience. I really cannot say enough about the watch. I feel privileged to own one.

A lover of ammolite
By GEMGRAMMA
from MILLARVILLE, AB
This watch has ammolite on it which is a plus. But I can't find the blue that was supposed to be in every watch. I also find it very large for my wrist, however it is comfortable for me to wear. I am keeping the watch to add to my ammolite collection, but it hasn't charmed me the way all the rest of my ammolite has done at first sight.
Lovely watch
The watch is exactly as described on tv and online. I decided to keep it as it is an addition to my ammolite collection, but I find it almost too big. The blue does not flash much and I was a little disappointed with that. I appreciated the time and effort that went into making the mosaic. Hope it keeps good time for a long time!
Beautiful watch !
By Jackie
from CALGARY
I gave this to my husband for our 28th anniversary , he's a very fussy guy when it comes to watches and low and behold he really liked it ! He of course always googles watches and owns some very very expensive watches . He was quite impressed by the make of this watch .he read where one review said that the four on the face wasn't supposed to be IIII but then we got one of his very expensive watches out and compared the two of them and the four was exactly the same ! We like this watch ,the quality is good .
Beautiful Watch
By Goldie
from Surrey B C
I just love my new watch. The ammolite is just beautiful. The large dial makes it so easy to read.Every time I have worn it I have had many compliments on it.

New Years @ Hyatt - Disappointment
New Years 2005- Well I heard on a local radio station to call for discounted rate, so I did. Well that was the only thing that went right, I would have been hightly p.o.'d if I paid full price! My husband and I have 2 young children and since we were going to the Wings game that night we thought with a nice rate we'd treat ourselves and stay out for the night. I was excited to be going to the "Hyatt" so I invited brother and sister and law to get a room since we were going to the game together and the reduced rate I heard of. So after a great hockey game and nice dinner downtown, we had enough time to make it back to the hotel, we thought since there were parties going on there the nice bar in the lobby area would be nice to bring in the new year, wrong, bartender was an absolute grouch, her and one of her servers were arguing and so engrossed in their fight ignored us. 45 seconds till the ball dropped still no drink in hand. We stood and literally stared at her to no avail, brought in the new year empty handed, thanks ya. Then we retreated to our room only to find out n' laws that I invited had old food left in their entertainment center, Gross. We thought we will get our drinks we bought earlier and make drinks in the room, wrong again no outside alchohal in hotel, umm excuse me I am 29 out with no kids at a prestigious hotel and anyhow rooomservice took forever and a day too. I'll be going back to my Holiday Inn/Super 8! Room was alright but I found lotion and stuff under my bed. Girls at front desk were nice though. Oh and New Years Eve the hotel completely shut down right after the ball dropped. BORING, thanks for the celebration I'd rather stay home!

The Buccaneer volleyball team made program history Tuesday night at the Toepke Center, winning its first home match ever in a five-set thriller against Dakota College at Bottineau.
"It is fabulous to win our first ever home match and our fourth match on the season," said Coach John Marble. "This is a match that we expected ourselves to win."
The Dawson Community College women came on to the court with immediate authority, showing off a strong net game early on as they jumped to an 8-2 lead in the first game. The Ladyjacks, however, were able to make a comeback and take the first set with a score of 23-25.
The Bucs came back to dominate the second game 25-11, followed by scores of 20-25, 25-13 and 15-11.
"We focused on playing our game," Marble said. "In sets one and three, we played to their level; sets two and four, we played our game. The difference was sets won and won dominantly."
DCC sophomore hitter Amanda Shadbolt, who recently was named the Mon-Dak Conference player of the week, helped lead the team with 12 kills, three aces and two solo blocks.
Freshman Ariel Johnson matched Shadbolt's 12 kills, hitting a .333 on the night with only three errors on 27 attempts.
Kirby Sabec hit a .389 with nine kills and just two errors on 18 swings.
Setter Terah Lund put up 36 assists, tying her best numbers from last year's inaugural season for the Buccaneers.
Defensively, Myriam Lebied-Julien picked up 15 digs and Lund and Sheeran each added two blocks.
Marble said the win puts them above last year's win record, with plenty of season left to go.
"We have already exceeded last season's results, and have done it against much tougher teams," he said.
The Bucs are back at the Toepke Center at 7 p.m. Friday to host Region IX play against Casper College and again at 7 p.m. Saturday for Mon-Dak conference play against the North Dakota State College of Science.
On Monday, the team hosts Bismarck State College for the first annual Dig Pink match to help raise awareness for breast cancer. First serve on that match is set for 7 p.m.

UPDATE: [1/6/13; 9 a.m.] According to Norristown Police Detective Corporal Adam Schurr, authorities have recovered evidence from one of several shots fired incidents within a few hours of one another in Norristown on Saturday, Jan. 5.
Police believe six shots were fired in the incident at Oak and Smith Streets – two into a vehicle at the scene which authorities had been seized and were awaiting a search warrant on early Sunday morning. According to Cpl. Schurr, officers also recovered casings from the scene.
That incident followed within minutes of a shots fired report in the 400 block of Moore Street at approximately 5:30 p.m. where police also recovered fragments from several bullets as well as sneakers and reportedly a jacket from someone at the scene at the time of the shooting.
A third, earlier shots fired incident somewhere in the area of Green and Oak Streets was also reportedly under investigation, but few details are available in that incident.
Residents have reported a fourth shots fired incident later Saturday night, but Norristown Patch has been unable to confirm that incident with police at this time.
Original story:
Norristown Police are currently investigating a scene at Moore and Violet Streets where shots were reported fired Saturday evening. There are multiple bullet fragments at the scene and sneakers were found that are believed to be from someone involved in the incident.
Neighbors reported hearing shots fired.
It is unclear if this incident is related to two other incidents that have been reported by residents in the last few hours in Norristown: in the area of Arch and Smith streets and Green and Oak streets.
All three reports are still under investigation and no one has been reported injured in any of the incidents.
Norristown Patch will update this as more details emerge.

HOUSTON —- Surveillance cameras were rolling as a crook fell through the roof of a northwest Houston liquor store, causing extensive damage early Friday.
According to the Houston Police Department, it all went down around 3 a.m. at Roma Discount Liquor. The store is located in a strip center on Antoine near Pinemont.
Police said they received a call from the store's alarm company, and officers arrived at the scene as the burglary suspects ran away.
Inside the store, the damage was already done. The crooks got away with only cigarettes, but they left behind several thousand dollars worth of damage.
The alarm company also called the store's owner, Chuck Patel. When he arrived at the store he reviewed his surveillance video and provided it exclusively to KHOU 11 News.
The video shows one of the crooks falling through the ceiling in a piece of air conditioning equipment. The fall smashes bottles and shelves, but the crook crawls out seemingly unharmed. He then runs and empties a trash bag, using it to take as many cigarettes packs as he can. It's believed he also took liquor. The man then panics as officers arrive outside the store. With the help of an accomplice, he manages to escape via the roof.
"It's really bad," said Chuck Patel. "It makes you scared."
Patel estimates there's about $12,000 worth of damage to his store, which was expected to remain closed Friday.
Anyone with information is asked to call Houston Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Federal prosecutors say a longtime lobbyist bribed a convicted Oklahoma state senator and they want the allegation included in the senator's sentencing — even though no charges were filed.
Former Sen. Mike Morgan faces up to 10 years in prison when he's sentenced Jan. 8 for bribery.
Prosecutors want U.S. District Judge Robin Cauthron to consider $33,500 paid to Morgan by lobbyist Barry Moore's BKM Group to be considered a bribe.
Moore has not been charged and his attorney said the payments were for legal services by Morgan, who is a lawyer.
Morgan was convicted of taking bribes to influence legislation regarding nursing homes. Moore is a lobbyist for a rural telephone companies.
Morgan maintains his innocence and has asked for probation.

Bobby's lawyers Mike Rataj and Susan Van Dusen are chatting. Bullota asks the judge is there can be a little less talking because he is having a hard time hearing the witness.
Bullotta asks if witness is aware that in 2008 Kwame left office and didn't get his full salary for the year. Witness says he is.
Total tax owed by Kwame to the IRS for the period between 2003 and 2008 is $195,403.61.
Now looking at computation of the understated income.
Increase in taxable income after corrections: $78,100 in 2003, $60,600 in 2004, $75,293 in 2005. Removes sheet before I can get the next 2 years.
Now looking at 2008. Increase in taxable income is $250,250.47. Kwame reported only $41,299 when he should have reported $291,549.47.
Witness says he didn't take into accounts personal checks, private checks, cash for suits. strictly cash that went in, credit card payments and cashier's checks. Also no payments from the Kilpatrick Civic Fund that may have gone to the Kilpatrick Civic Fund.
12:55PM Judge mentioning additional coverage of Kwame outside of what is going on in the courtroom. Edmunds says it is really important to continue to avoid all coverage and to not let people bend their ear about it.
Court adjourns for the weekend and will reconvene Monday morning at 9AM.

McALESTER —
Two local women recently were sentenced to serve prison time for a McAlester drug-house case.
Rachel Easky, 26, of McAlester, entered a blind guilty plea Nov. 27 to multiple charges in two separate cases. On Jan. 9, Easky was sentenced to serve 10 years in the custody of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.
She was convicted of multiple drug-related felonies.
Easky was charged along with Robin Allen, 49, of McAlester; Marcella Dalpaos, 50, of McAlester, and Patricia Diane Beall, 48, of McAlester.
Allen pleaded guilty Jan. 11 to an amended charge of possession of methamphetamine and was sentenced to 15 years, with the last 10 years suspended.
Beall pleaded guilty Nov. 30 to a charge of conspiracy to manufacture a controlled dangerous substance. She was fined $50,000, with all but $500 suspended, and she received a 20-year suspended sentence.
According to court records, a warrant for Dalpaos' arrest has been issued and she has not yet been located by authorities.
District 18 Drug and Violent Crimes Task Force agents executed a search warrant in a home on East Polk Street in McAlester on July 20. Task force officers, along with McAlester Police Department detectives and Drug Enforcement Administration agents, entered the home and found three women and a 17-day-old infant child in a bedroom.
"While finishing clearing the residence, a 'one pot methamphetamine lab' was located in the laundry room of the residence," an affidavit states.
After searching the entire residence, authorities found numerous items associated with the manufacturing of methamphetamine.

Whether you've ridden motorcycles for decades and long for a bike that reminds you of the first bike you rode back in the 1960s, or you are a new motorcyclist looking for a solid first bike, the Triumph America might be exactly what you're looking for. The 2009 Triumph America is one of the Hinckley, England company's entries into the classic cruiser market. Mix a healthy dose of traditional cruiser styling with modern engineering components, and you get the Triumph America. The America is the type of bike that will appeal to a wide range of riders, making it suitable for a first bike, or a last bike.
With classic lines and a clean profile that are the hallmark of Triumph's cruiser motorcycles, the America looks like what you would picture if you looked up the word ""motorcycle"" in the dictionary. With low swept, side mounted exhaust pipes, spoke wheels, a wide handlebar, and a great looking tank above the British parallel twin engine, the America epitomizes the image of a classic cruiser. Available in Phantom Black, and the two-tone color combinations of Pacific Blue/Aegean Blue and Pacific Blue/New England White, the Triumph America is sure to be an eye-catcher.
Triumph's 865cc parallel twin engine powers the America. Triumph is known for their parallel twin engines, as well as in-line triples. On the Triumph America, the parallel two-cylinder generates a respectable 54 horsepower, and 51 ft. lbs. of torque. While the America doesn't have the raw acceleration of the Rocket III, this is enough power to pull away from cars at stoplights, or to cruise highways in style at 80 mph.
The Triumph America proves to be surprisingly nimble for a cruiser bike. Due to its relatively light weight for a cruiser and the balanced design, the Triumph America handles the twists and turns better than might be expected for a cruiser bike. It's no sport bike, but it provides an excellent ride down a road like Pacific Coast Highway. A tubular steel cradle frame provides great stability at highway speeds. 41mm forks in front and chromed spring twin shocks ensure good ride quality over city streets, or long highway stretches. A hydraulic disc on the front and rear wheels supplies sufficient stopping power for the America.
The 2009 Triumph America works great as a commuter bike, due to its superb ergonomics. With a comfortable and natUral upright riding position and a very comfortable seat, this is the kind of bike you could enjoyably ride for hours. The dual seat is comfortable for the passenger as well as the driver, making the America a perfect bike to take on a road trip for two.
Triumph offers a wide selection of accessories for the America. Customizing your bike for your individual needs or tastes can be done with Triumph's official accessories, or through a healthy aftermarket for Triumph's classic bike line. Aesthetic upgrades available from Triumph include a host of chrome parts, while other popular aftermarket upgrades are exhaust and muffler modifications. The Triumph America is the type of great all-around bike that can take you to work on a daily basis, take you on weekend rides along twisting roads, or give a comfortable ride on a long road trip.

Nick Barnett should apply for one of the TV commericals for milk after his endorsement on media day. Here's what the Bills' linebacker said about the mindset the team needs to snap its eight-game road losing streak this Sunday in Cleveland:
"We've got to have that mentality of going to someone's home and going in the refrigerator and drinking all the milk," Barnett said. "That's the plan."
Does it have to be milk, he was asked?
"It could be soda, whatever," he said. "But you know, when you don't have any milk and you want milk, that's a problem. You can get water out of the faucet, but when milk is gone, there's no way of getting it back."
Maybe we can develop this milk theme if the Bills finally win a road game Sunday. Last year, Barnett invited fans onto the team bandwagon early in the year. How about a milk truck this season?

Mother Teresa's Dark Night
The beloved missionary longed for the strong 'sense of union' with Jesus she had before starting her ministry.
BY: Interview by Fr. Raymond J. de Souza
This interview, reprinted with permission of National Catholic Register, originally appeared on Beliefnet in 2003.
Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, the Missionary of Charity priest who is advancing Mother Teresa's sainthood cause, was surprised. Like much of the world, he thought the story of Mother Teresa was summed up by her simple faith. But the work he did--work that came to fruition in Oct.19, 2003 when Pope John Paul II beatified Mother--revealed much more. He told Rome correspondent Father Raymond J. de Souza about it.
What did you learn about Mother Teresa in the course of preparing her cause?
Even though she was a public person, she managed to keep her interior life private. She hardly ever said anything about her personal life. She wasn't interested in a biography, as she did not see that as important. Her focus was always that everything she did was God's work. She would always say that to anyone who spoke of her success: "It's God's work."
People saw her holiness - it was evident - but now we realize that her simplicity hid a real profundity. We are just beginning to scratch the surface of the more profound aspects of her soul. I think we will see that she is one of the greater saints, but time will tell as we begin to understand more of her.
What is the principal message of Mother Teresa's life?
A reminder of how much God loves human beings, expressed in those key words from the cross: I thirst. Thirst gives an idea of how intense is the desire of God for souls.
Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi presented her with an award one time, and she said that Mother Teresa reminds us of the simple importance of love.
When leaders would ask Mother why she wanted to come to their country or city, she would say that she wanted to make the love of God present. Love becomes concrete in compassion. As the sisters began to expand in the West and Mother would travel, she realized that the greater poverty is to be unloved, unwanted, rejected and lonely - all of which is very common in the West. Nevertheless, Jesus loves you - he thirsts for you.
What did you learn about Mother Teresa that you did not know before?
There were three major new things.
First, how very far advanced Mother was in the spiritual life by the time of her inspiration to found the Missionaries of Charity in 1946. Evidence of this was the private vow she made in 1942 not to refuse God anything - which, if you think about it, is quite a daring thing to do. Love unites, and this vow showed how united her will was to the will of God.
Second, we learned more about what happened when she was inspired to found the Missionaries of Charity. She never spoke about what she experienced exactly, but fortunately she wrote it down in a letter to the archbishop of Calcutta. She didn't write about what happened on Sept. 10 - what we call "inspiration day," when she received what she termed her "call within a call"- but she describes what happened in the days afterward during her retreat. She writes about her locutions in which Jesus asks her, "Wilt thou refuse?"
So we see that her vow was being put to the test.

Tulu is a Southern Dravidian language spoken mainly in the southwest of Karnataka State and in part of northern Kerala State in India. There are also some Tulu speakers in Maharashtra State and in the Gulf countries. The 2001 India census reported 1.72 million Tulu speakers, though according to a 2009 estimate, the total number of speakers is between 3 and 5 million.
The Tulu alphabet, which developed from the Grantha alphabet and resembles the Kannada alphabet, was used from about 1500 mainly by Tulu-speaking Brahmins to write Vedic mantras and Sanskrit texts translated into Tulu. Since the end of the 20th century Tulu has been written with the Kannada alphabet, though efforts are being made to revive use of the Tulu alphabet. The first piece of literature in Tulu was a Tulu version of the Mahabharata - the Tulu Mahabharato.
