Cardinal Faces Pushback For Comparing Gay Rights Movement To The KKK
Change.org has released a petition calling for the resignation of Catholic Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, following comments the Cardinal made to FOX Chicago Sunday comparing the gay rights movement to the Klu Klux Klan's anti-Catholicism. Equally Blessed, an umbrella group of pro-LGBT rights Catholic organizations, has reinforced the pushback by releasing a statement declaring in part that George, "has demeaned and demonized LGBT people in a manner unworthy of his office. In suggesting that the Catholic hierarchy has reason to fear LGBT people in the same way that blacks, Jews, Catholics and other minorities had reason to fear the murderous nightriders of the Ku Klux Klan, he has insulted the memory of the victims of the Klan's violence and brutality." The petition has already garnered well over half the 2,500 signatures the organization was aiming for.
Chicago's upcoming gay pride parade had been rerouted past Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, raising concerns it would logistically interfere with that Sunday's services — sparking Cardinal George's incendiary comments:
CARDINAL GEORGE: Well, I go with the pastor. I mean, he's telling us that they won't be able to have Church services on Sunday, if that's the case. You don't want the gay liberation movement to morph into something like the Ku Klux Klan, demonstrating in the streets against Catholicism. So, I think if that's what's happening, and I don't know that it is, but I would respect the local pastor's, you know, position on that. Then I think that's a matter of concern for all of us.
Watch it:
Meanwhile, Chicago's LGBT community could give Cardinal George a lesson in graciousness: They met with representatives from Our Lady of Mount Carmel last week, and have agreed to a noon start time for the parade to accommodate parishioners moving to and from Sunday services.
Cardinal George has attempted to walk back his comments, claiming he was comparing the impact of the KKK and gay pride parades, not the people in the two different groups:
Obviously, it's absurd to say the gay and lesbian community are the Ku Klux Klan, but if you organize a parade that looks like parades that we've had in our past because it stops us from worshipping God, well then that's the comparison, but it's not with people and people — it's parade-parade.

There is a race for lieutenant governor of Missouri, which historically has never reached the top step on the south entrance at the state Capitol when it comes to interest. It should be of more interest since the office rests right below the top elected official of Missouri.
Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder, Republican, is seeking re-election. He is seeking a third four-year term. He served 12 years in the Missouri Senate before being elected lieutenant governor in 2004. As lieutenant governor, he presides over the Missouri Senate.

Humpback whale startles kayakers in San Luis, California
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- August 21, 2012
WHEN kayaking in an idyllic bay, surrounded by beaches, bronzed bodies and seabirds - would you expect this?
These two tourists enjoying the sights at Port San Luis, California were startled when a swarm of gulls splashed into a nearby patch of water - probably drawn to the prospect of a quick feed by a passing school of fish.
They weren't the only ones.
This humpback gulped down the whole lot as it bounded up from below.
It was probably oblivious to the two startled, and very lucky kayakers who had the fright of their lives.

GU Nutrition Matrix is a holistic nutritional system designed to help you hydrate, energize, and recover when pushing yourself and your body to the limits. Gu has what your body needs to go longer and farther. And then get back out there to break on through again tomorrow.Our Story
Featured Products
Finding out that GU includes only those beneficial amino acids in their endurance products, but not all of the other useless ones in a complete protein made me realize that the science behind their passion was real. I will also admit that when I tasted Chocolate Smoothie Recovery drink, that sealed the deal.
My first bonk was during the Double Dipsea in 2009, on the return back to Stinson. The next year, I dropped 2 GU's at the turnaround, ate them, and never felt a dip in my energy levels. After the race, I knew I'd found something that worked for me and haven't used anything else since.
GU played an important role during one of my proudest accomplishments early in my ultra-running career, my Grand Canyon Rim-Rim-Rim Fastest Known Time. After that there was never any doubt GU Energy would take care of me on any adventure I tackled." "Chocolate Smoothie Recovery Drink Mix is my go-to after a hard effort or long run. Almost always used in a Vitamix concoction with soy milk, yogurt, banana, nuts and cinnamon.
In 2000, two other climbers and I completed the Slovak Direct route on Mount McKinley (Denali) in 60 hours. The fastest ascent before that had been 7 days. We relied almost entirely on GU Energy Gel, literally climbing from one Gel, feeling that we were getting close to the bonk, then doing another Gel. It got us up 70% faster than anyone before us. That record still stands 14 years later and I've been using GU Energy products religiously ever since. I use them training and on my big climbs. When people ask me how I do those big climbs so quickly, I always tell them that nutrition planning is big part. Thanks GU!

I have just upgraded to wordpress 2.7 and am getting Warning: Missing argument 2 for mb_strlen() in /usr/home/blog/wp-content/plugins/search-unleashed/search-unleashed.php on line 698. Please advise.
I have just upgraded to wordpress 2.7 and am getting Warning: Missing argument 2 for mb_strlen() in /usr/home/blog/wp-content/plugins/search-unleashed/search-unleashed.php on line 698. Please advise.
Editing search-unleashed.php and changing line 699 as follows temporarily works for me as I wait for the next update of the plugin.
Find the line that goes:
function mb_strlen ($str, $encoding)
and replace it with:
function mb_strlen ($str)
I hope I am not breaking anything. But as I said, it's a temp solution and it works for me.
That variable checks the database to see the charset you have, ie UTF-8. Though the search may work fine for you if it disregards the setting, you possible haven't set that option for your WordPress installation.
Check your wp-config.php, is your charset set to utf8?
Following line exists in my wp-config.php
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
If I don't change the search-unleashed.php as I mentioned above, I cannot add or edit any posts. After the change however, I am able to post new entries and edit existing posts whose titles don't exceed 30 characters or so... Wierd.
My host is using PHP 4.4.7 still. I wonder if I am missing out on some important new PHP functionality.
Thanks 'doctorkaraca' editing search-unleashed.php to function mb_strlen ($str) worked for me.
We also have php version 4.4.7 and wp-admin/options-reading.php is set to UTF-8
I may have spoken too soon i now see a similar error on the wp-admin/post.php page and have deactivated again.
I tried
function mb_strlen ($str, $encoding = "base64")
this got rid of the error on edit.php but it is still there on post.php
open the file search-unleashed.php (line 697-703 for v0.2.24),
replace this:
if (!function_exists ('mb_strlen'))
function mb_strlen ($str, $encoding)
return strlen ($str);
if (!function_exists ('mb_strlen'))
function mb_strlen1 ($str, $encoding)
return strlen ($str);
then open the file models\search-unleashed.php (line 21 for v0.2.24),
replace this:
$this->first_match = mb_strlen ($this->text, get_option ('blog_charset'));
if (!function_exists ('mb_strlen')){
$this->first_match = mb_strlen1 ($this->text, get_option ('blog_charset'));
$this->first_match = mb_strlen ($this->text, get_option ('blog_charset'));
FOR THE STEP 1: if you want more exact, replace that with:
if (!function_exists ('mb_strlen'))
function mb_strlen1 ($str, $encoding) {
if ($encoding=='UTF-8') {
return preg_match_all('%(?:
[\x09\x0A\x0D\x20-\x7E] # ASCII
| [\xC2-\xDF][\x80-\xBF] # non-overlong 2-byte
| \xE0[\xA0-\xBF][\x80-\xBF] # excluding overlongs
| [\xE1-\xEC\xEE\xEF][\x80-\xBF]{2} # straight 3-byte
| \xED[\x80-\x9F][\x80-\xBF] # excluding surrogates
| \xF0[\x90-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]{2} # planes 1-3
| [\xF1-\xF3][\x80-\xBF]{3} # planes 4-15
| \xF4[\x80-\x8F][\x80-\xBF]{2} # plane 16
return strlen($str);
this problem is caused by the lack of mbstring module, so you can also install the mbstring module to solve the problem.
tomchen1989 you are genius and my hero. Your instructions above works wonderfully. One minor thing,
$this->first_match = mb_strlen ($this->text, get_option ('blog_charset'));
is not in models\search-unleashed.php but in models\highlighter.php.
Thanks a lot.
oops, my mistake...:)
Thanks guys works for me :)
Love this search, but it's causing problems with making posts. Posts save just fine, but I end up with a totally blank page with URL/wp-admin/post.php - no error message, just an empty page. Same thing when I edit a post - it changes, but I get a blank page.
I tried the two changes suggested above by tomchen1989, it did not help.
Nice catch tomchen1989. I used your fix interim.
The author has since fixed this issue in version Version: 0.2.27. I was having the same problem and this version works for me.

The Professor (Laurie Wallace) thinks her Student, Alexis Malone, needs to "let go a little bit" in order to improve her writing. So Alexis does. The result is this decent little bit of comic fluff showing Alexis as she lets go -with her horny roommate Chloe Dior, and with the local greasemonkey Honest Bob and Bob's Girl (Brittney Skye and Rick Masters both doing a nice comic turn). Girls fuck girls (watch for the sorority orgy), girls fuck boys, the Gimp makes an appearance and the Professor eventually likes Alexis' writing, so they fuck, too.
It's fun, the sex is nice, everyone has a good time and through it all is a nice sense of humor and lightly comic tone that just makes you want to smile, among other things.

ext.js vs. ext-debug.js and Loader config issue?
When I include ext-debug, I can see that a bunch of js files get loaded (which I want).
When I just include ext.js, it seems like the Loader doesn't get configured correctly. None of the js files I want get included, and Ext.create doesn't seem to find them.
I am using document.body.appendChild to dynamically include ext.js/ext-debug.js in my page, if that makes a difference.
Am I missing something obvious that I should configure when using ext.js vs. ext-debug.js?
Thanks for any help!
12 May 2011 8:59 AM #2
In Fiddler or Firebug, are you seeing 404s for anything, or is no loading attempt taking place?
If you're getting 404s, I'd say that you need to set paths on the Loader.
If not, have you tried statically including ext.js?
Also, have you tried ext-all.js? (minified, all packages)
12 May 2011 11:24 AM #3
For example, using ext-debug.js I will see /ext-4/src/util/Point.js load. With ext.js, I see a 404 on '/util/Point.js'.
"Ext.Loader is not enabled ..."
Statically including ext-debug.js works fine, like above.
That seems to imply that ext.js doesn't configure the Loader automatically. How can I get the configuration info that ext-debug.js provides, but only include ext.js?
Thanks for your help so far!

The art of igniting gases expelled from the rectum by force. Proper form is to lay on ones back, pull both legs back as far as possible,light a lighter and hold it as close to the anal cavity as possible. The subject then squeezes the stomach muscles tightly, pushing a mix of methane and hexane out toward the open flame causing a moderate to large fireball. Caution...Jeans must be worn to protect sphincter from 2nd to 3rd degree burns.

Leak Shows PlayStation 4 Neo Is Expected To Have Twice The Graphics Horsepower (hothardware.com) 99
MojoKid writes from a report via HotHardware: Following rumors of a more powerful console in Sony's not-too-distant future -- one that will be capable of playing games at a 4K resolution -- the Japanese electronics maker last month opted to confirm it is indeed in development. Called PlayStation 4 Neo, the upgraded system will bring better hardware to the console scene to meet the needs of gaming on a television with four times as many pixels as a Full HD 1080p display. What's it going to take to game at 4K in the living room? A leaked internal document outlines some very interesting specs of the new model PS4 console. Assuming the leaked document is up to date with Sony's current plans, the PS4 Neo will use the same Jaguar cores as the original PS4, but clocked 500MHz faster, with 8 cores at 2.1GHz (up from 1.6GHz). The more significant upgrade will be the GPU. According to the slide, the PS4 Neo will use an improved version of AMD's GCN compute units (CUs), with twice the number of CUs at 36 instead of 18. They'll also be clocked faster -- 911MHz versus 800MHz. The net result is a 2.3x improvement in floating point performance.

A new rule allowing freedom camping for non self-contained
vehicles at three sites around Dunedin is proving so popular
the Dunedin City Council might alter its servicing
arrangements for toilets and rubbish bins to cope with
The council has been alerted several times this summer to
overflowing rubbish bins and increased use of toilet
facilities at the three sites next to public toilets at
Macandrew Bay, Ocean View and Warrington.
''It's nothing unexpected, or particularly terrible, just an
increase in use, and we are just working out when that use is
spiking to work out what we need to put in place to deal with
that,'' council reserves policy and planning officer Paula
Dickel said.
The council eased freedom camping rules in the city late last
year, to allow up to three self-contained campervans - those
with toilets on board - within a 50m radius to stay on sealed
areas of reserves and other public land for up to two nights.
Vehicles without toilets previously could not stay anywhere
overnight, but now up to five vehicles were allowed to stay
for one night in the three designated areas.
Ms Dickel said staff had been getting feedback from council
contractors, the public and from the hall committee near
where the toilets were at Macandrew Bay, and hoped to enlist
more people to give them more feedback on demand peaks and
troughs, so the council could work out what cleaning needed
to be included in future contracts.
The bins and toilets were cleared regularly, but there would
be a small lapse as the council worked out how much more
cleaning was required.
In the meantime, anyone who saw bins overflowing or toilets
needing cleaning was encouraged to report them immediately to
the council, and contractor would be sent out to deal with
For people staying in the wrong places, the council was
reliant on people reporting campers.
Any information people needed on camping around the city was
available on the council's website, Ms Dickel said.

Max Baucus' Revenge
I think that's the right way to think of Doug Elmendorf's damaging testimony about how the HELP and House health reform bills would fail to achieve the goal of "bending the curve" on health spending. Lately some of Baucus' key ideas have been getting sidelined and Elmendorf's words will now help Baucus, the Finance Committee, and taxing health benefits all get back in the game.
Meanwhile, it would be nice if the Washington Post's reporters would take their blogger's advice about this:
I would also like to propose a related rule: any reporters who receive a quote from a politician on this CBO score should be required to ask the politician which of these policies — or which alternative cost-saving policies — they support. And that should be on the record. I think it's perfectly legitimate to criticize health-care reform for not saving enough money. But it's not legitimate to do that if you also oppose any and all measures for saving money.
Here's some good ideas from CAP colleagues:
— David Cutler and Judy Feder "Financing Health Care Reform".
— Todd Park and Peter Basch "A Historic Opportunity: Wedding Health Information Technology to Care Delivery Innovation and Provider Payment Reform"
— Ellen-Marie Whelan and Judy Feder "Payment Reform to Improve Health Care"
— Melinda Beeuwkes Buntin and David M. Cutler "The Two Trillion Dollar Solution: Saving Money by Modernizing the Health Care System"
Something I'll note. In his testimony, Elmendorf seems very certain that eliminating the employer-provided health care tax exclusion would help to bend the curve on health costs. It's not immediately clear to me or to the folks I've briefly canvassed that that's right. In Elmendorf's terms, the curbing the exclusion would pretty clearly lower the curve, but I'm not sure it would change its trajectory. That said, for these purposes CBO scores matter more than reality, so if the CBO is willing to score exclusion-curbing as curve-bending, that constitutes a reason to take the idea seriously.

HELP !=]
So many things effect your skin. Your diet, exercise, what products you use to cleanse your skin etc. One tip I always suggest is to use a 3 step system twice a day. Cleanse, Tone and Moisturize. Make sure you wash your face before going to bed. Never go to bed with your make up on!!! That will clog your pores and give you the little bumps. You are on the right track...masks and exfoliating are a very important step to getting rid of those little bumps on your skin. Also remember to drink lots of water. And exercise - it makes you sweat out all the impurities in your skin and your skin feels fresh and rejuvinated.
Good luck, xo Eman Aziz

As his country was being torn apart by

These past 3 weeks I stayed in HI Express hotels in Page AZ, Cortez CO, Santa Fe NM and Flagstaff AZ and I noticed a lot of similarities. In every hotel the size of the room was generous, but there were no wardrobes. A 3-drawer cabinet is not nearly enough for your holiday luggage and you are forced to keep most of it in your suitcase.
In general everything in the room was in working order and well maintained. Sufficient wall plugs to charge your phones, tablets, cameras etc, all at the same time. The beds are very comfortable.
The breakfast facilities were similar in all hotels and the offered ranges were identical. A typical American obese breakfast with pancakes, syrup and jelly, eggs and fried sausages, donuts, glazed cinnamon buns, muffins, stale bread for toasting, cereals and concentrate juices diluted with too much water. More than you will find in the average motel, but nothing for me. I took the only sensible products I could find like skimmed milk, low fat yoghurt and fruit, and bought the rest in the supermarket. It didn't bother me but the service in the breakfast area was inadequate and unacceptable. Every day many items were not replenished for a longer period of time.
As a platinum member I am entitled to an upgrade but this particular hotel did not have any.
The location of this hotel is ideal for tours in the area. There are plenty of decent restaurants in the historic old town, but parking may be difficult.
The 'high-speed' internet is not stable but ok with off peak speeds of 350Kb down and 70Kb up.
Refurbishing is overdue but there is work in progress. At this moment the prices are too high for what is offered an I would recommend this hotel only off season.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity

Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Takeda Pharmaceutical has decided not to commercialize Affymax' peginesatide for anemia in Japan. Takeda and Affymax will explore other options for the commercialization rights for this product in the Japanese market, including potentially licensing it out to a third party.
Peginesatide is an investigational therapy for use in patients with anemia due to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Last week, FDA's Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) voted 15 to 1, with 1 abstention, that peginesatide demonstrated a favorable benefit/risk profile in this indication.
In Takeda's review of its pipeline and portfolio priorities, however, the firm decided that commercialization in Japan is not strategically optimal for it. The majority of Phase II and Phase III trials in this country have been completed, though. Findings to date suggest that peginesatide can become a promising treatment option for Japanese renal anemia patients, according to Affymax and Takeda.
Takeda and Affymax say that they are pursuing options that will take the program forward with a regulatory submission and commercialization in Japan. The firms will continue to work together on development and commercialization of peginesatide outside Japan, however, including preparing for potential U.S. approval and launch as well as regulatory filing in Europe.
In the U.S., FDA is expected to make a decision by March 27, 2012. In the EU, Takeda anticipates submitting an MAA during the first quarter of calendar year 2012.
Peginesatide is a synthetic PEGylated peptidic compound that binds to and stimulates the erythropoietin receptor and thus acts as an ESA. The compound was discovered by Affymax and is being co-developed by Affymax and Takeda under two agreements inked in 2006, one for the U.S. and the other for the rest of the world.

An ice island four times the size of Manhattan broke off from one of Greenland's two main glaciers.
They're calling it the biggest event in the arctic in nearly 50 years.
The new ice island broke off on Thursday about 620 miles south of the North Pole.
The ice island has an area of 100 square miles and a thickness up to half the height of the Empire State Building.
Scientists have said the first six months of 2010 have been the hottest globally on record.
Thousands of icebergs calve off Greenland's glaciers annually, but they are seldom so large.
The last time such a large ice island formed was in 1962.

Tori Spelling, who celebrated her 41st birthday Friday, has made headlines recently for documenting her marital troubles on the Lifetime reality series True Tori.
But the actress's most iconic small-screen moment occurred 21 years ago this week: On the Beverly Hills, 90210 episode "Something in the Air," the West Beverly gang memorably protested the school's decision to suspend Spelling's character after she got drunk at prom, chanting the epic battle cry "Donna Martin graduates!"

To the uninitiated, media buying sounds like a tremendously complicated process. However, by educating yourself in the process, you will likely find that like most things, it is easier than it first appears. If you want to take advantage of the techniques and strategies of a real media buying agency, here are a few steps to help you negotiate your media buys, even if you are a complete beginner.
Identify Your Market
When you think of the people most likely to buy your products and services, what do they all have in common? Ideally, you will work to create a profile of the characteristics and qualities that your best customers most commonly exhibit. For instance, you may notice that your customers most commonly are young women between the ages of eighteen and thirty. At a minimum, you should know your best customers age range, location, income and spending behavior.
Market Research
Once you have identified your target customers, you will want to do a little market research to find out how best to structure your marketing and media program. In addition to demographic information about your clients, you will want to find out how best to communicate with them, and how best to sell them.
For instance, are your customers most often found through online media, TV ads, magazines? Do your customers perform a lot of research by browsing blogs and online resources before purchasing? Maybe content is your best buy. The key is understanding the behavior of your customers to try to identify what mix of marketing media will best reach them and persuade them to take action.
Setting Objectives
One of the most important steps is setting your business objectives. If you do not know where you want to go, you are guaranteed not to get there. This is why setting goals are critical to your plan's success. Do you simply want greater exposure and brand awareness, or are you looking to increase sales and cash flow? This way as you take actions toward these goals you will be able to measure your progress along the way.
Create Your Plan
At this step in the process, you need to begin creating a detailed plan for your media buys and marketing programs. You need to include the specific media outlets, and candidates for where you will invest in these channels. You also need to decide on your budget and how you should allocate that budget to achieve your identified goals. If you are working with an agency, you can expect to work together to create an executive summary, a list of objectives, and your budget, targeted media channels, and the specific objectives you hope to achieve through each outlet.

PADUCAH, Ky. (AP) - A jury has begun deciding whether a former
soldier convicted of raping and murdering an Iraqi teen and killing her family should be sentenced to die or imprisoned for life.
Jurors started deliberations in the case of former Pfc. Steven Dale Green at 1:20 p.m. CDT on Wednesday.
The jury convicted the 24-year-old ex-soldier from Midland, Texas, on May 7 of raping and killing 14-year-old Abeer Qassim al-Janabi and shooting her family to death in March 2006, near Mahmoudiya, Iraq, south of Baghdad.
During closing arguments Wednesday, federal prosecutors said Green should be sentenced to death because of the brutality of the crime.
Green's attorneys told jurors he should be spared a death sentence.

I upgraded several WP sites to 2.1.2 and all but one were fine. On one site, I've noticed two things missing so far:
1. The Register link doesn't appear in the sidebar or on the login page (the WP register code is in place).

STORRS, Conn. -- Check the phone books in Oklahoma from Altus to Tulsa and you aren't likely to find many listings for Copernicus.
Bud, Barry and Bob, on the other hand, will pop up almost as often as the digits two, three and four in a state in which gridiron coaches Wilkinson, Switzer and Stoops, respectively, are legendary figures. The universe is outlined by down and distance in the Sooner State, and the coach and the quarterback are unquestionably at the center of it all.
An Oklahoman born and bred, Sherri Coale understands all of this. So perhaps her metaphor of choice when it comes to point guards shouldn't be any surprise.
"The quarterback is the axis," Coale said before a recent practice (before practice, because her team had to make a quick exit to get through dinner in time to watch that night's gridiron showdown with Oklahoma State). "The leadership ability of that person behind center in football or bringing the ball down the floor in basketball, that's where all of your collective energy stems from, that's where your swagger emanates from, it's where your toughness grows on. I think that position is the most critical on the floor."
And just as a football team that faltered in its final showing under a talented first-year quarterback a year ago now stands on the brink of a championship opportunity, Coale has a sophomore floor general on the basketball court who might be able erase memories of last season's dreary end.
Stoops has Sam Bradford; Coale has Danielle Robinson.
"Danielle has been given the reins," Coale said. "She played a ton as a freshman last year but she didn't have to handle all the role of leadership and organization -- all the court management -- the way it falls completely and squarely on her shoulders this year.
"And she's grown exponentially; I can't tell you what a different player she is on the floor, in terms of her personal confidence, her confidence and her knowledge of the game as a whole and how to manage it, and then her ability to lead her teammates. She's gotten better control of her emotion, which makes her a better leader of her teammates."
That didn't appear to be something anyone on the roster had a handle on last season, when the Sooners, ranked No. 6 when the season began, drifted through the regular season and lost to Notre Dame in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Coale and her players tried to offer an optimistic outlook before the first round in West Lafayette, Ind., last March, suggesting that perhaps some measure of consensus had been reached during all the extra practice time an early exit in the Big 12 tournament afforded them.
But any progress there might have been was too little, too late. Illinois State tested Oklahoma in the first round, when the Sooners let the underdog back in the game after building a double-digit lead in the second half. And with a chance to advance to the Sweet 16 in Oklahoma City, the Sooners instead couldn't adjust to Notre Dame's Charel Allen and made the return flight to Will Rogers Airport without another game to play.
"We didn't have any leadership, we weren't together, we didn't play as a unit, we didn't make each other better, we didn't compete hard enough, we didn't have a defensive identity, we couldn't make 3-point shots," Coale fired in a quick staccato, looking back at the state of her team. "I could go on. There were lots of things that were wrong. We were very fortunate to win our way into the second round of the tournament and to do the things that we did. In many ways, our product was broken and we had to fix it."
Part of that involved turning the show over to the 5-foot-9 Robinson, who shared time at the point last season with Jenna Plumley, who left the program following an offseason suspension for an off-court incident. Robinson led the Sooners in assists last season, but she made arguably her most compelling case for Big 12 freshman of the year by showing off an Iverson-like first step and the accompanying fearlessness getting to the rim.
Nevertheless, in an age of combo guards, Robinson sees herself as a point guard first and foremost, albeit one with a knack for putting points directly on the scoreboard when necessary.
"I embrace the label point guard," Robinson said. "I mean, point guard comes with a lot of responsibilities, and you know, I've never stepped down from a challenge. I definitely love the title point guard. I mean, I've been a point guard for the majority of my life -- last year, I kind of went back and forth between the 1 and the 2 [positions], but I'm definitely excited to take on that challenge as being a point guard, not only leading your team but scoring some buckets when we need it and just getting everyone in the right place."
A 28-point loss might not seem like the best place to search for evidence of success, but Oklahoma's loss at Connecticut on Nov. 30 offered a surprisingly compelling example of just how much both Robinson and the Sooners have grown. As Coale suggested after the 106-78 defeat, there were certainly things her team could have done better against the Huskies, from defenders closing out more quickly on 3-point shooters to Courtney Paris playing at her own pace in the first half instead of at Tina Charles' pace.
But the final result had more to do with an opponent putting together one of the best collective performances of any single game in recent memory than anything the Sooners did wrong.
As Coale said, "I sat there in the second half and I said, 'This is the best we've ever played against them, and we're down 25.' And we played them with Taurasi and Bird and the whole crew. I don't know that I've seen them play better than they did tonight."
And an Oklahoma team that seemed adept at finding ways to lose last season spent much of Sunday's game playing like it felt it had a chance in a game it was never going to win. The Sooners trailed by 20 points with fewer than four minutes to play in the first half. Instead of waiting for a few minutes of respite in the locker room, they cut the lead to 11 at the break -- with Robinson on the court despite having picked up her second and third fouls on back-to-back plays at the 10:37 mark. She kept her cool, and so did her team.
Despite playing with foul trouble, Robinson was just about the only entity in Gampel Pavilion that made Renee Montgomery appear mortal for even a few moments on a night the Connecticut senior put up 30 points and 13 assists. Montgomery and the Huskies started out giving Robinson the midrange jump shot, but not only did she hit those gifts, she also managed to consistently get to the basket against the quickest defense in the country. And while the opportunities for assists were few and far between, she finished a game contested at a frenetic pace with just one turnover in 29 minutes.
Robinson, who turned the ball over more than three times per game as a freshman, turned it over seven times in an 80-79 loss against North Carolina on Nov. 23. Before the Connecticut game, Coale made no attempt to explain those miscues away, suggesting her patience with her point guard extends no farther than two turnovers in any given game.
The Sooners clearly can play an up-tempo pace, but any team whose best player makes her living on the block, as Courtney Paris does, can ill afford to squander possessions without getting touches for its star. That leaves Robinson with a balancing act to master.
"I think that's part of the genius of a point guard is knowing when to and when not to," Coale said. "And she has to have a feel for the game and a feel for her position, and I have to trust her. And I do; I trust her decision-making. I feel completely comfortable now that she has a feel of when to push the envelope by going to the rim and when to circle the wagons and come back out and set something up. It's night and day from last year. And that's the blessed thing about freshmen, is they turn into sophomores."
It's maturation still in progress, but it's one that appears to be on the upswing.
"I think where I mostly struggled was making decisions," Robinson said of her freshman campaign. "In high school, it wasn't so easy for people to get in passing lanes and get deflections and stuff like that. And I think that now I'm just more comfortable with the ball and game situations."
While there are a lot of similarities between a quarterback in football and a point guard in basketball, one significant difference is the nature of the postseason that awaits them at the end of the regular season. Losses to North Carolina and Connecticut might momentarily knock Oklahoma down in the polls, but they offer more hope for what's to come than did many of last season's unsatisfying wins. And certainly, that's as much because of Courtney and Ashley Paris, Amanda Thompson, Whitney Hand and others as it is because of the lithe, lighting-quick point guard from the Bay Area.
But at the end of the day in Oklahoma, the ball, the game and the season are usually in the quarterback's hands.

Historical Traveler Reviews Floris Suite Hotel Willemstad
Beautiful, serene island retreat
We stayed at the Floris Suites in June 2004 and had a very nice stay. It's a beautiful European-style hotel in a convenient and secure location. The staff was friendly and helpful. We experienced a few glitches in the service (as one would at any hotel over 7 nights) but once brought to management's attention, they were fixed. The Junior Suites were basic but clean and well appointed. We loved Hooks Hut (the hotel's beach bar/restaurant across the street) as well as Sjalotte, the hotel restaurant. The hotel is across the street from the Hilton and Marriott resorts, so it is easy to enjoy their casinos and restaurants if you want a change of scenery. The beach is a great place to spend the day and we did not find it to be any more crowded than the other resort/hotel beaches we visited. You will want to explore Curacao's other beaches anyway. We enjoyed unwinding at the end of the day by the lovely pool, which was never crowded.
If you are looking for a rowdy resort with a party atmosphere, then you will be best served by staying somewhere else. If you are looking for a quiet, stylish island retreat as a base for your travels around Curacao, then consider the Floris Suites. We would definitely go back.
Don't waste your money
First let me say that the staff for the most part is hard working and does it's best to please. Have you ever stayed at a 4 star hotel that does not change the sheets everyday?; welcome to the Floris. There is no beach, you have to walk across the street to a postage size piece of sand they call a beach, populated by screaming children. One day we were going to sit at the hotel pool, but the few lounge chairs were already taken. At the front desk, they never have change, I guess management does not trust thier employees with a few dollars. The food is average, but that is true all over the Island. If you must go to Curacao I would suggest the Marriott accross the street from the Floris. I believe the good reviews of this hotel must be written by the owners or their friends.
My boyfriend and I visited Curacao from May 19-24 2004. We had previously visited and stayed at the Avila Beach but decided to try the Floris Suite Hotel this time around. We were not disappointed. The pictures of the hotel on its website are exactly the way it really is. The rooms are amazing, including a microwave, stove, and dishes. There is also a minibar and freezer in the room as well. Each room has its own balcony/patio with a table for two. The staff at the hotel was so helpful with directions, maps, and recommendations. I can't understand how they could be unfriendly as some have mentioned. The hotel offers a beautiful pool with several chairs and umbrellas. There is no beach on the property, however, it is a short walk away. One review mentioned bringing your own towels because the hotels werent in good shape. I brought my own towels only to find out that the hotels towels were in perfectly normal condition. Very large and soft as a matter of fact. So don't worry about bringing your own towels. The hotels breakfast bar is only $10 per person and it was very good. Didn't get a chance to eat dinner at the restaurant though. The bar was also very nice and served a large variety of drinks. My only complaint about the Floris Suite Hotel is a very small one. The water in the shower didn't seem to want to stay hot for more than 30 seconds. It tended to be luke warm most of the time. Might not bother some, but not for me. Overall, I was extremely impressed with the Floris Suite Hotel and would recommend it to anyone visiting Curacao!
"stylish, serene, superb"
I recently returned from a wonderful stay at the Floris Suite Hotel in Curacao. The Floris Suite is an incredible jewel. It is a design oriented hotel which offers the leisure of the Caribbean, combined with European sensibility. The atmosphere is one of quiet, casual elegance. The grounds of the hotel are very lush and beautiful. While the hotel is not directly beach front, there is a private beach a short walk away. The swimming pool is tranquil, peaceful and very private. The guest rooms are bright, comfortable, spacious and well appointed. Our meals in the hotel at the restaurant "Sjalotte" were always delicious and presented with style. Best of all, the staff is extremely competent, hospitable and aiming to please. I have stayed at the Floris Suite three times and have never been disappointed. In fact, the hotel keeps improving with each visit. I can't wait to return!
Their license should be revoked!!!
My wife and I vacationed at the Floris Suite Hotel in April, 2004. We were terribly disappointed. For example, the staff were unfriendly and unaccomodating. Sit poolside and you will not see any staff members.
Thus, no drinks or food, unless you walk to the hotel restaurant 100 yards away. Need direction in planning your stay (e.g., sightseeing, restaurants, shopping, nightlife), don't ask the concierge at the front desk because she has only been on the island for 4 weeks. Please, please, please, beware of the fact that the hotel webiste boasts no photos of the beach. THERE IS NO BEACH! The sand patch that we did observe consisted of rock, stone, and crabs. If you enter the water be cautious of fishing boats anchored 10' away. Although the taste of salt water is probably better than the test of oil and gasoline. LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR AN ENJOYABLE VACATION!!!
You simply must visit the Floris Suite
What a Hoot!
I was just surfing the net on where I could share the wonderful experience I had recently with my partner at the Floris Suite Hotel in Curacao when I came upon the amusing negative write up posted in March of this year.
I can't believe we stayed in the same hotel! Perhaps as a result of the language barrier, they 'hitched a lift' from the airport to the local motel in Willemstad instead of the Floris Suite. From the moment we arrived at the Floris to the moment we left, our stay was nothing but outstanding. I have stayed in many top hotels all over the world so I do feel I am in a good position to make a fair assessment.
Architecturally, the hotel and gardens were extraordinarily beautiful.
Throughout the hotel there was a sensation of being at one with nature.
It was extremely peaceful. My partner and I often found ourselves sharing our breakfast with the most beautiful of birds!
In my experience what makes a great hotel amongst many factors is the staff. At the Floris, the staff were professional, efficient, etc but also very smiley and it was evident that they were very happy in their work. They were a joy to be around. Also they were absolutely stunning!
The food at the restaurant at the hotel was of very high quality. The suites were great! Absolutely everything you need right there. They were designed beautifully.
My partner and I will definitely be revisiting the Floris and we highly recommend it. It was such a beautiful hotel and the staff were absolutely wonderful. If you look at the Floris website the quality speaks for itself. You must visit! All this talk of the Floris, I'm going to have to get the photos out..., AGAIN!!!
Never to forget
After having stayed for a few days on a business trip I convinced my wife that Floris Suite was the place to be on Curacao. We rented the Royal Garden Suite with our 2 children and had a wonderful stay.
Beautiful garden, amazing pool and the best restaurant of the island.
The Hooks Hut Beach Club was our homebase, where we had wonderful lunches and they even had diner tables on the beach with our feet a few meters from the sea. The friendly staff of Floris informed us about the most beautiful beaches and best attractions in Curacao. We are very grateful to them for making our visit to Curacao one never to forget.
Best Hotel I've ever seen
It was our first time on the Antillen ,ofcourse I saw the website and couldn't believe what I saw ,what a beautiful place to stay for 9 days .We've booked the hotel and it was the best hotel we had ever seen .Champagne and Fruit was there ,perfect lokation of the room ,breakfast was perfect ,every day fresh eggs with bacon and juice ;-)) Fitnessroom , Internet , perfectly clean room everyday ,and a dutch newspaper ..I've read the bad experience of one couple ,are they sure that they have been to floris suite ??? we loved the styl ,we love the people working for the hotel and we love the island ..friends of us are also going and i'm positive that the going to love it just like we did
Peace and harmony
We didn't know where to go.. never been on the Caribbean so we looked for an hotel and found Floris Suite; designed by Jan des Bouvrie (Dutch Designer). So we booked a week and there we were.. in a paradise.. The hotel was really nice but absolutely not overdone decorated; it was classy and style full, the staff was friendly and their tempo was almost the same as the normal European tempo. The rooms were clean and had a very nice view on the quit garden with big palm trees and in the middle the swimming pool. Absolutely something to do again!!
Loved the Floris!
The Floris is a fine attractive place to stay in Curacao. It truly is European in attitude and furnishings. The staff was wonderful and helpful. The tiny kitchenette was a boon. The resturant and bar beyond expectation.The European flight crews stayed here. It was clean, comfortable, calming efficient and beautiful. It was more like house sitting a flight attendant's groovie condo than staying in a hotel or one of those eyesore megalith resorts.It is not on the beach but the hotel does have an arrangement with Hook's Beach Club (about a 5 minute walk across the street around the edge of hilton's parking lot and a construction zone).The beach was frequently over run by squealling school kids about 5-10 years old. Amusing but not romantic. And yes, the Dutch women go topless and no, it is not sleazy. We rarely used it or the pool at the Floris (it is great though)They have a better fitness center than most hotels in the states (over crowded with 3 treadmills, dumbell rack and a full sized cybex weight station!) Also have fast internet acess in the top floor business center. Check your email and laugh at co-workers stateside!We went for the scuba diving and the Floris is ideal for shore diving Americans like us. Rent a car through the Floris, rent Tanks at Dolphin Diver's at Hook's beach and drive north to Great reef's (Portimarie, Playa Kalki, Kas Abou, Lagun and Kliene Knip.) Roland at dolhin divers was a treasure, great advice and directions in clear concise english (I can't get that in the USA most times!)Stop on the way north at Rima's Soft Center for beer, sodas and chips.The Daniel land House is a good post dive resturant. The Gouverur de Reauville is great too.Crossing into Willemstad at night is a bit daunting and good streetmaps in English of that city don't seem to exist. Parodoxically every decent dive site is marked just dandy.

... again so we bought our little bottle of cura�ao sand, and a little pressies for Alex. and then i needed another shower (3rd of the day!)
That evening we attended the acrobat show in the theatre, dinner in 'seven seas' and some casino action with Larrys ***** tips. we came away $250 up so celebrated with a drink, a crepe and the hot tub. before heading to bed for aftersun and to read the daily for tomorrows sea day!

I managed to buy mums Xmas present here and am very pleased with it. Today, it was my turn to have a calamity. I twisted my knee as we left the ship and it hurt a LOT. Still hurting now.... The picture is a view from the bar we are currently sitting in. Christmas trees and palm trees lol.

Today is a long port day. 8a-11p The good news is its only 80 degrees today, the bad news is 100% humidity, and it's NOT Raining!! omg its HOT!
Did the AM Discover Curacao Island tour. The tour included the Curacao Museum & Carrillion, The Hato Caves, and the Blue Curacao liqueur factory. Found out that they no longer export their curacao, so if you didn't buy it on the island, what you purchased is not actually Authentic Blue ...
... to a shore excursion, in the eyes of the typical passenger. A snorkel trip, a driving tour around island, a stop at a rum factory, some duty-free shopping, and perhaps a dolphin encounter ... that's nearly all that a ten-hour whirlwind cruise ship stop allows you to do, and it ends up giving Caribbean ports a very uniform, and perhaps even mundane, feel to them.
Perhaps it's because cruise ship season has yet ...
Frustration and Time Delays
... out yard in Curacao with a lift big enough to lift us out of the water, and if they wouldn't do it, then we were in big trouble.
They initially didn't think they could help us because their lift was one of these new lifts which doesn't use slings to pick up the boat, but actually place a lift under the boat, much like a forklift. As the shape of our boat underneath is chimed, this created a problem for them...there was literally going to be only ...
