Find out what one of our lovely owners thinks of us!
$3000 Lost AGAIN!! Don't let this be you
AAAAGGHHHHHH, I'm frustrated!!!
It has happened again, Another Coral sea owner did not take our advice.. Result – they found out the hard way that all insurances are not equal………… To the tune of $3000.
Have you got the wrong insurance?
From More than 400 tenants, we have had only 5 tenant defaults so far this year. An awesome result for sure… BUT..
Only 3 of these owners had taken our advice and held policies with Terri Scheer Landlord Insurance. Result – All three of these owners ended up less than $150 out of pocket INCLUDING the cost of all re-letting expenses, advertising, let fees, court costs and lost rent.
How to lose $3000….don't take our advice.
The 2 owners without Terri Scheer Landlord Insurance are both out of pocket more than $3000. Or to be more precise; about the same cost as the next 10 years worth of landlords insurance premiums.

We added some lights ourselves and that helps but when we first opened we didn't sell a lot of rack wine because it was dark but since we added the lighting our sales jumped dramatically." -

EU and International: Eurocities - Working group 'Barrier-free City for All'
Eurocities - 2012
7th meeting of the working group Barrier-free City for All on 12/13 September 2012 in LyonBy invitation of the Association of Local Authorities Grand Lyon, experts from 15 European cities and regions met in Lyon in September 2012.
Different approaches concerning the implementation of accessibility in urban areas were presented and discussed on the aspect "Planning with people - for people". The Local Government Association Grand Lyon - a new member of the Working Group - presented measures and future plans for public space and for public transport. Based on the master plans "Accessibility of the road space, public space and public transport" the participation of people with disabilities in planning and decision processes has been illustrated.
Representatives of the Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) explained the "Universal Accessibility Master Plan". This master plan includes ten key projects to improve accessibility in areas like information and communication. One of the key objective of the master plan is to find appropriate solutions in dialogue with people with disabilities. The Committee "Universal Accessibility Committee" coordinates all activities and is directly associated with the management of TMB.
An expert from the Study Center on Infrastructure, Transport and Urban Planning (CERTU) from the French Ministry of Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development and Spatial Planning, presented the benchmarking study on the progress of accessibility in eleven European cities, including London and Rotterdam. CERTU advises French cities and municipalities in the field of urban development, transport and infrastructure.
The Transport Company "Transport for London" presented the progress of accessibility in public transport, particularly in view of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012, e.g. all buses are equipped with ramps, the "Black Cabs" - the traditional London taxis - can be used by wheelchair. The master plan "Accessible public transport" designates extensive measures to be implemented until 2031.
6th meeting of the working group Barrier-free City for All on 4/5 June 2012 in Munich
Barrier-free city tourism / Design for AllAccording to estimates of the European Commission, there are 130 million people in Europe for whom tourism and travelling are not yet a matter of course. People with disabilities have difficulties in Europe in finding their way around in unfamiliar regions, planning their journeys, deciding on the best transport mode and finding a suitable hotel or access to tourist attractions.
Thirty-six experts from twelve large European cities met in Munich on 4 and 5 June 2012 to exchange ideas on conditions and strategies for promoting barrier-free tourism. All over Europe, city tourism in particular has become a driving force for growth in the tourism sector in recent years. Together with a representative from the European Commission, tourism marketing experts and members of Munich's Council for People with Disabilities, the working group discussed how accessibility can be turned into a signature feature of city tourism. Several exemplary projects were presented, e.g. on improving accessibility at the Munich Oktoberfest and activities to promote tourism for all in Berlin and Barcelona. The cities of Vienna and Munich showed measures for making pedestrian traffic barrier-free. The programme was rounded off by a visit to the Allianz Arena.
The experts convened for the 6th meeting of the "Barrier-free City for All" working group of the Eurocities network of major European cities. The working group's objective is to increase its efforts to develop joint strategies and create local, regional, national and European networks. The participants agreed that further enhancing barrier-free city tourism in the spirit of "design for all" will benefit not only all travellers, but also the entire population and the economy.
5th meeting of the working group Barrier-free City for All on 13/14 February 2012 in ParisOn 13/14 February 2012 the fifth meeting of the working group "Barrier-free City for All" took place in Paris. The meeting was opened by Ms. Véronique Dubarry, Deputy Mayor of Paris responsible for the needs of people with disabilities. Mrs Dubarry emphasized the importance of an international exchange on the urban level and of comparing the progress and problems of other cities. For Paris as a global metropolis with a magnitude of historical buildings and its world heritage, accessiblity is a very challenging and difficult task compared to other metropolises. One key for the success is the participation and information of the residents about the planned action.
Measures to implement the Master Plan Accessibility in Public Space of the City of Paris have been presented and discussed. Since 2003 all construction measures in the public space of the City of Paris are to be conducted in accordance with the Master Plan for accessibility.
Respresentatives of the Transport Association Ile-de-France presented the Regional Plan of Public Transport Accessibility. These contributions were supplemented by the presentation of planning instruments from Helsinki and Cologne.
Under the direction of the City of Helsinki extensive guidelines and evaluation criteria for the accessibility of buildings, streets and public places were developed in cooperation with six Finnish cities. These also provide the basis for the Master Plan for a barrier-free City of Helsinki.
The city of Cologne has presented its citywide approach for establishing a design manual for the city center. The focus has been on the question how the requirements for accessibility can become mainstream in planning processes.
A main item on the agenda was the discussion of the planned European Disability Act. The European Commission, Directorate-General Justice plans to submit a draft of a EU-legislation to provide accessibility in 2012. In agreement with EUROCITIES, a position paper was discussed at the 5th Working meeting in Paris and adopted as a recommendation for further consultation with the Executive Committee of EUROCITIES.

It's been a while since a bread post. So, meet one of my favourite packet loaves. It's one of those ones that I fall back on if I have too much else going on to want to measure out the ingredients/missing one of the key ingredients or if I am lacking in inspiration.
Weirdly, this time, the loaf ended up with a strange crack in the middle and it hasn't risen properly - although I don't seem to be able to manage that with this one anyway. However, this is all aesthetics. The most important thing is the taste. This is absolutely packed with sunflower seeds. So much so that you couldn't manage a mouthful without encountering a handful. It's moist and it's very tasty.
This is it. It doesn't come out with the sunflower seeds on the top - a bit of poetic license on the part of Rivercote - owned by Lidl.
The second loaf I'd like to tell you about was one I was really looking forward to. I had some new wholemeal flour - Mapledurham Watermill 100% wholemeal flour. We don't live too far from Mapledurham and visited during the summer for a food fayre. I included green peppercorns. My Dad used to be a bit of a breadmaker for a while and he used to make green peppercorn rolls. I'd ask him to make me some to take back to uni with me and freeze. I used the recipe from the side of my Sainsbury's wholemeal flour as I was short of white bread flour. It calls for 225ml warm water, 45ml of sunflower oil, 30ml of runny honey, 7.5g of salt, 500g of wholemeal bread flour and 7.5g of yeast. I added a good pinch of home-ground green peppercorns.
Let's start with the positives shall we? My favourite thing about this loaf is the way that it just slid off the kneading hook and left this lovely imprint on the bottom. No fighting with a fork to get it out.
Actually, in many ways, this is one of the most beautiful loaves I've made - with a top that looked handwrought. Unfortunately, it was incredibly dry. Really disappointing. I am not sure that the green peppercorn/wholemeal thing works. I've since tried out some white rolls and have to admit that they just don't stack up to those remembered ones. The quest continues.
I am a HUGE fan of Wessex Mill flour. So far as I can tell, our closest stockist (Fielders farm shop) is about eight miles away just off the A4. A distance that is a little far for popping in on a whim. It's also in a place that we don't tend to go all that often. I've tried the Onion, Six seed and Apple and Cinnamon flours before. The Onion bread is incredibly nice. Very light. Anyway, when we were at Churston farm shop, I saw that they had some Onion bread flour and this -
Sadly, the result was about as bad as the previous effort in my opinion. It had a slight taste of burnt about it. The husband seemed to like it and Little D enjoyed it too but for me, it just wasn't right. I think I probably should have waited and added the raisins later in the process. I probably also didn't need to run it through the white bread option on the breadmaker. I still have enough flour for a second batch but I think I'll put it off for a little bit - I've just got rid of the end of the last loaf with a trip to the ducks...
So, my Friday evening has been spent making the recipes in my most recent Spicery pack - Baigan Bharta, Chana Chat and Vegetable Thoran. It's also been spent making rolls with green chilli. It's probably going to end with having a good old nosy around Wessex Flour Mill's website to see the products I haven't seen before. I'm dreaming of sourdough again... I also may have spent some of this week considering which spice rack I'd like for my birthday.
Have a good weekend one and all and if you know any good vegetarian recipes/breadmaker recipes, please sling them my way.

Wembley hero Scott McManus sees no reason why he can't come back the same player as he nears the end of his recovery from injury.
McManus scored the stunning winner in Town's 1-0 FA Trophy final win against Grimsby last May before sustaining a cruciate ligament injury later in the game, and hasn't played since.
McManus feels he is a couple of weeks away from a return to full fitness and he is set to join in with the rest of the squad at training, something which he views as a significant milestone in his long recovery.
"I think it's up to the gaffer when he thinks I'm fit enough. I've been doing my own training sessions away from the club to save me travelling in. It's just been running, some change of direction work and swimming at a gym. And I go with a couple of my mates so it's been quite fun.
"I'm about to join in with the lads now and it feels alright. My first session back was last Thursday. It wasn't really too intense because the lads had loads of things to go through for the Bradford game.
"Considering it was about eight months ago since I last kicked a football it's a milestone to be able to do that again.
"I'm not fit enough to play yet I don't think, but it's just when the gaffer thinks I'm ready."
McManus is not worried about a possible recurrence of the injury, and is already thinking about his first tackle when he returns to action.
"Since I got told I could run in a straight line all I've done is work on my fitness," he said. "I've only been able to do changing direction and shorter bursts more recently. But Bobby (assistant boss Mark Carroll) put me though my paces before the Alfreton match and I did alright with that.
"I've waited long enough now and I've had the all clear from the specialist so if it happens again it's one of those things. It's not going to be something I'm scared of. If it happens, it happens. If I want to play football again I can't go back into it being scared of it happening again, just like I wasn't scared of it happening the first time. It was just a freak accident like I'm sure it would be a second time. There's probably more chance of it happening again now it has happened but the specialist said it's strong enough, I feel like it's strong enough and my pace is coming back. I just need to worry about getting into the team.
"My intention is to take a heavy touch and then go and smash whoever I can and see how it holds up!
"The first tackle won't be anything I'll shy away from. I'm just going to have to stick myself into it and hope for the best really."
McManus said his time on the sidelines has had some benefits, but he admits having purposefully stayed away from first-team training during his recovery.
"I've been doing my own training sessions to stay off the astroturf but that's because I'd be more frustrated having to come and just do a bit of running on my own when everyone else is training," he said.
"I've just tried to get my mind away from being negative and stay positive.
"I've had the bonus of being able to take my son to football on Saturday mornings, which I've never been able to do, so I've tried to take the positives.
"It made him happier to have me watch him playing instead of having to miss it, which was always hard, so it was nice to do that. But I've been doing it for too long now, I want to get back playing."
The Town defender is bullish about the club's promotion prospects, and his chances of playing a part.
"I think we're heading in the right direction," he added. "It was always going to be hard. It We've had a brand new team that needed time to gel.
"We went through the play-offs last time in the Conference North so why not do it again?
"I've had a few messages off people saying 'come back for the play-off final and score the winning goal' which would be nice."

There is no denying the loneliness and isolation being a single parent brings. I have become an expert as making money stretch, have got used to not having much of a social life and can manage to do most small DIY jobs around the house on my own. I know that once the girls are in bed by 8.30pm the front door gets locked because there will be no spontaneous trips to buy milk/a takeaway/visit a friend.
I make all of the decisions for the family, attend all of the girls' school events on my own, arrange and attend parents' evening meetings alone, doctors and dental appointments are organised by me. Their father - my ex-husband - sees them every so often, when it suits him. He did recently decide to have the girls to stay with him once every two weeks but somehow, unsurprisingly, this arrangement has fallen by the wayside.
But being a single parent also has its benefits too.
We have learned that time spent together is more important than money; that we have to stick together and support each other if we are to make the best of this family unit; that good friends are hard to find and you have to work hard to keep them; that those same friends are worth their weight in gold when times get tough. We have learned some of the more important values. Money is great - of course it is! - but even when it's limited you can still have a good quality of life based on fun, friendship and family. And I think that will stand my girls in good stead for when they're older.
But there is no doubt that being a single parent is a tough gig. Nobody can prepare you for it. I would compare it to becoming a parent for the first time. You can read as many books as you like about it, watch TV programs and observe your friends with their children but nothing - absolutely nothing - prepares you for the shock of the real thing. When my eldest daughter was born I was amazed that the hospital allowed us to take her home. Without supervision! Nobody checked if we could cope - and as all new parents do we struggled at first.
It's a similar thing being a lone parent. Once you realise that you are it - the buck stops with you and you alone, then it's a bit of a shocker to be honest.
Lone parents are also the butt of all society's worries about the breakdown of family life. Single mums are encouraged to go to work, yet married mums are encouraged to stay at home.
Why am I writing about this now? Because I've come in for a lot of criticism just recently from my ex-husband who called me an 'unfit mother'. No, not because I need to lose weight (although that's also true!) but because I had shouted at my eldest daughter. Hands up any mums who have never shouted at their children, especially pre-adolescent ones?
The situation escalated to a preposterous level where he threatened to call in Social Services. It has been very unpleasant and upsetting and all completely unnecessary.
I've spent the past two or three weeks feeling hurt, angry, stressed and vulnerable. But do you know what? I refuse to be cowed. My motto has always been "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" and it applies now more than ever.
Forgive me for being self-indulgent in this post, but I felt I wanted to say something about this odd situation I have found myself in recently. I can't (and don't wish to) go into more detail, but I feel better for getting something down in writing.
I'm not looking for sympathy, far from it. I think on the whole I have a pretty nice life. But, if you could find it in your heart to just bear this post in mind next time you read another newspaper article about a bad single mother, then that would be just wonderful. Thank you.

AC Warm 98.9 Debuts In Atlanta
With the end of the holiday season, Cumulus' newly minted "Warm 98.9" W255CJ/99.7 WWWQ-HD Atlanta has flipped to AC.
The Warm playlist is featuring a broader mix than Cox Media's incumbent "B98.5" WSB-FM, while emphasizing softer artists such as Bee Gees, Cher, Michael Bolton and Norah Jones. W255CJ is utilizing Westwood One's AC network.
Original Report 11/24: Cumulus Media has dropped the "Nash Icon" brand from the first station to launch it.
98.9 W255CJ/99.7 WWWQ-HD2 Atlanta has begun stunting with Christmas music as "Warm 98.9". As the "Warm" moniker does have some heritage in the market as sister WWWQ was Soft AC "Warm 99" in the 1980s, a return to a similar format to attack Cox Media's neighboring "B98.5" WSB-FM could be in the cards.
W255CJ has averaged one new format per year since its move from 99.1 in 2011. It has been Alternative "99X", Active Rock "98.9 The Bone", Christian AC/Country "98.9 The Walk", Oldies "True Oldies 98.9", and "Nash Icon". The translator registered a mere 0.1 share in the November 2015 Nielsen Audio PPM ratings.

The Lemania movement is the basis of the Omega 861 calibre and the case is the Navitimer/Cosmonaute design that Helmut Sinn got rights to along with Albert Wajs when Breitling went as good as belly up in '79. So, the manual wind 903 is like two watches for the price of one. As I wanted both an Omega Speedmaster Pro AND a Breitling Cosmonaute it seemed to fit the bill.
Good news recently though: for die hards, Sinn have announced a final limited run (220?) of the Lemania movement in two watches. I think the 903 H2 is only a 30 min chrono and the H4 shown below (with moonphase) will be just under €3000. I'm a bit disappointed to see the rather inconvenient crown controlled slide rule used in both; it is much easier to simply grab the bezel and spin....
Click to warp to the Sinn pages on these.
However, what I have decided is there is no getting away from owning a Speedy, so my 903 has been sold as I seem to have got the "must have a Navitimer/Cosmonaute" thing through the system, but not the Speedy thing.

A little cutie in Honduras, riding a Honda. Look at the condition of this thing. Immaculate, and I think it is several years old.
Below is the story of how I mounted an Amateur radio on the Harley.
Some time back, Roger asked for pictures and articles for a story he was involved with. I resolved to photograph my setup, and write about it, for him. Typical of myself, I was a little behind with the project (I am just now getting to it, and Rogers article has long ago been printed) as with many other projects, time seems to get away from me. OK My radio setup on my present Harley. I some times use an IC-706, and some times I use an IC-2700. Some one recently asked me how I could change the radio so quickly. So here is the story: I made a bracket to hold the IC-2700 control panel and mounted it on the "hinged" door to the regular AM-FM radio. This bracket was made very simply and of aluminum. The control head snaps into it, and stays very securely. Difficult to see in the photo, but the edges are slightly dovetailed.to grip the control head. See photo 1. This is the bracket. See photo 2. This is how it looks w/control head mounted. Then I made an adapter that was a piece of Aluminum that would fit in place of the control head for the IC-2700. See photo 3. I fastened the IC-706 control head bracket to this piece of aluminum. Like above, it is difficult to see in the photo, but the edges are slightly dovetailed to Assist in holding the control head solid, in the IC-2700 bracket. Photo 4, here is control head mounted in the bracket that I made If you are familiar with Harleys, you will notice that the AM-FM frequency and the clock are still visible. (well they would be, if they were turned on) Photo 5. shows that you can still access the AM-FM radio. Many years ago, I bought an Icom IC-22A. (actually, I bought 3 of them!) They came with a "clam-shell" type of bracket. I had wired up that IC-22 radio for remote control, but it was much harder to do, than the present day offerings are. On that setup, every wire from the front panel had to be extended to reach the home made control head! Here is a photo of the clam shell bracket opened up. See photo 6. I cut the small ears off of the one side. Then I drilled two holes and used screws to mount it flat against the front edge of the Harley Tour Pak. Here is a photo of the clam shell bracket installed. See photo 7. Photo 8, here is of radio mount bracket in tour pack, mounted. With radio in place. The leather pouch, was standard Harley issue. I use it to keep registration papers, MARC bulletins, etc. in. See photo 8. These two radios use different remote cables, so I ran one cable for each radio. The one NOT in use gets tucked into the wire bundle, out of the way. When you do not wish to use the headset for what ever reason, I discovered that using a regular speaker, just did not work very well. There was not enough volume control. So, off to Radio Shack, to buy an amplified speaker. This Photo is of the Radio Shack speaker. See photo 9. The very first thing I did, was to take the speaker enclosure apart, and modify a few things. Such as adding a switch that switches between speaker and microphone, and helmet head set. Then I added a connector to plug that headset into The microphone input connectors for the two radios have different pin outs, so I added another switch to accommodate that.I wrapped the speaker in cellophane, to help protect it from wet weather, then I reassembled the speaker into the case. Final Speaker mod. (for now!) Later I added an outside switch, to control the screw driver antenna. The transmit switch, is in a small enclosure that I used epoxy to Fasten to the left hand turn signal housing. I know that Ray likes larger buttons, but I wanted a small button that was not noticeable. Some times I need to leave the machine un attended, and I do not want some idiot pushing the transmit button,causing havoc on the HAM bands. See photo 10. This photo is of the antenna mount that I made. See photo 11. I machined it from a solid piece of Aluminum. Then I fitted a Piece of Stainless steel, for a short mast, in an attempt to raise the RF above my head level. Then I welded the antenna mount on top of the mast. Photo 12, Is of a 2 meter antenna, on the motorcycle, the Maldol. This thing is actually taller than the peak of my garage! It doesn't show well in this photo, but the tip is about 3 inches higher than my garage roof peak Photo 13, Is of my HF antenna, a little Tarheal,screw driver antenna. Yes I know, I should have taken the time to dress the wires up neat, but that would have cut into my riding time! Below is a photo of the complete vehicle. All ready to go for a ride! See photo 14 The Boat in the back ground also has a complete Ham radio setup, as well as a Marine radio, but that is another story. And now, I must go replace all my gear that is kept in the motorcycle tour pack. In order to photograph every thing, it all had to be removed. Rain gear, survival gear, flashlight, Scarves, gloves, first aid kit, magazine to read while I am waiting for Marsha to get ready to go etc. I hope you enjoyed this story. 73, Paul K9PEP

From the Philippines:
May I request some information regarding the current methods of measuring neonatal blood glucose?
I have been requested by a friend to make this inquiry on his behalf. He is assigned as a pediatrician at the City Hospital here in Iligan City, Philippines. He is interested to know whether capillary blood glucose detection would be more advantageous than intravenous detection.
I would appreciate very much your reply. Thank you.
The major difference between the use of capillary blood sugars in neonates and children with diabetes is that, in the former, you are more often interested in finding hypoglycaemia than hyperglycaemia.
Capillary testing is used throughout the world with various meters and sticks which have their own individual advantages and disadvantages. Most units work on a principle of sending true blood sugars to the lab if the capillary testing system they have registers less than 2 mmol/L. They may also take action prior to receiving the lab result.

Cancer, obesity, healthy aging: Medical Society's Future of Medicine Summit opens free sessions to the public
*** Please note, Saturday's free session begins at 9 a.m., not 11 a.m. – Stacey ***Dr. Michael Dennis is a semi-retired, Stanford-trained plastic surgeon who has repaired then-President Ronald Reagan's hand, and mended the limbs of Chinese school children crushed by earthquake debris.
Now a resident of Palm Beach, Dr. Dennis is chairing the Palm Beach County Medical Society's fifth annual Future of Medicine summit, and he's doing something unusual, opening several sessions to the general public, free of charge.
Dennis is worried about the state of health care, and he wants people to be informed and engaged.
"The forum is structured to bring the best minds together to prevent what is looking more and more like a maelstrom," Dennis writes.
"Physicians need to sit down with nurses and other allied health personnel in a mutually supportive setting to frame methods of improving health care delivery."
The Future of Medicine summit is taking place at the Palm Beach County Convention Center Oct. 27 – 29, beginning at noon on Thursday the 27th, and 8 AM on Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th.
There is a fee for the entire conference, but many of the lectures are free and open to the public, and will feature scientists from Scripps Florida.
The free sessions take place Thursday, Oct. 27 between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., with registration beginning at noon. They include: "Taming the obesity epidemic," "Living healthy over 60," and "The Latest Advancements in Cancer Research, Treatment and Care."
On Saturday at 9 a.m. there is another free lecture. Dr. Maureen Whelihan and four other physicians will speak on "For Women, By Women: Mind, Body and Sex."
The Medical Society asks that people planning to attend even the free sessons pre-register by calling 561-433-3940.
To see the entire schedule, click here.
Several nationally prominent speakers wll address the conference. T.R. Reid, author of "The Healing of America," describes how the United States spends more on health care than other nations, yet produces worse outcomes.
Health consultant Jeff Goldsmith, co-author of "Sorcerer's Apprentice: How Medical Imaging is Reshaping Health Care," lectures on the impact of health care payment reform and how hospitals and doctors can work together to improve quality and contain costs.
And an important session Friday will discuss problems of health care access that are unique to Palm Beach County.
To see the schedule and learn more, go to http://www.pbcms.org/FOMSummit.
The entire three-day event is free to Palm Beach County Medical Society members, but for the general public, one-day attendance is $50, while three-day attendance is $75. There's also a VIP fundraising dinner on Thursday night, and attendance is $100. Mary Jane Saunders, President of Florida Atlantic University will speak, along with Dr. Peter Carmel, president of the American Medical Association, who is a pediatric neurosurgeon practicing in New Jersey. Dr. James Byrnes, a family practice doctor in Delray Beach who is president of the medical society, will speak as well.

Nice artwork: BMW K1200R RE3
The Resident Evil genre started life as a video game and soon became a global success story. The first two films - Resident Evil and Resident Evil: Apocalypse - based on the mega videogame sellers of the same name from Capcom have generated a total turnover of over 600 million US Dollars worldwide to date. The third film - Resident Evil: Extinction - is produced by Constantin Film AG and will be released in Europe in September. It sees Alice (Milla Jovovich) once again take up the fight against the evil Umbrella Corporation to try to eliminate the deadly virus that threatens to make every human being 'undead'.
To commemorate the BMW K 1200 R's starring role in new action blockbuster Resident Evil: Extinction, BMW Motorrad has unveiled a striking show replica of the machine. The Resident Evil: Extinction show bike is based on the 163 horsepower BMW K 1200 R naked roadster that is ridden by Hollywood actress Milla Jovovich in the new science fiction epic.
Thomas Peter Friedl, Board Member of Constantin Film AG emphasized: "The powerful BMW K 1200 R was chosen for the movie because of its muscular and aggressive appearance, which fits perfectly to Alice's ass-kicking performance in the movie"
The Resident Evil-inspired show bike features immaculately airbrushed spinal bones on the tank and detailed gold lettering on the fairing to tie in with the theme of the action movie. The stunning paintwork design was originally conceived by a BMW Motorrad project team based in Munich and then talented artist Georg Huber - who is renowned for his delicate airbrushing techniques and unusual custom designs - was commissioned to bring this vision to reality.
Georg first began practicing the art of airbrushing in the Eighties and further developed his talents through the repairing and painting of car bodywork while working for seven years in a garage. He then established his own business creating airbrush and fine art pictures and has since made a name for himself by painting trucks, motorcycles, cars, guitars and even walls.
Georg began working on the Resident Evil: Extinction BMW K 1200 R show bike at the beginning of June. About 50 per cent of the machine's design was done by airbrush, and the remainder is finished with a fine brush. The complex design took him around three weeks to complete. "The bike took a long time to finish as it was important for me to find the best balance between the colours of the bike and all the paintings from the movie," explains Georg.
"The first thing I had to do was apply the background paint to the motorcycle and then apply the lettering. However, the biggest job was painting the spinal column of bones on the tank, as it was very detailed. I had to remove the majority of the motorcycle fairing in order to complete the airbrushing. I don't think that I could have put it all back together again without the help of BMW mechanic Gunther Rehbock!"
Georg's past projects include creating background paintings for movie companies. His behind-the-scenes experience has also led to him teaching other artists airbrushing techniques in countries such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland. His work is also featured in a number of International airbrush and fine art magazines and there is even a collection of electric and bass guitars featuring his artwork, as well as quite a few record cover sleeves showing his pictures.
The stunning Resident Evil: Extinction BMW K 1200 R is making special appearances at various worldwide events in 2007, and makes its first European public outing at Garmisch-Partenkirchen this weekend for the BMW Motorrad Days festival. The bike will also be visiting the San Diego Comic Con International at the end of July and will be at various events in Las Vegas throughout August. The Resident Evil: Extinction movie is released in Europe on 21 September 2007.

Part of the fallout from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) data breach is the need to provide identify protection services to the millions of compromised government employees. In its efforts to provide these services to compromised federal workers, the OPM contracted with a private company. That contractor, CSID, sent an email with a link to enroll in identity protection services.
ArmyTimes reports that acting upon warnings from the Army Threat Integration Center, Fort Meade's Cyber Security Network Defense Team identified a message from CSID as a spearphishing attempt. The Fort Meade Cyber Security Network Defense Team warned Army personnel to "close the message immediately and report it as spam to the Cyber Security Network Defense Team," according to a warning posted on the Fort Meade Facebook page.
The message has lots of spearphishing red flags to trigger a warning, but it was real.

Now new Rutgers coach Mike Rice could be close to landing a commitment from Daddy Ugbede, a 6-foot-6 wing from Lagos, Nigeria who also has interest from Kentucky and Maryland. Ugbede, 16, is in the Class of 2012 and will enroll this fall at St. John's College High School in Washington, D.C., the alma mater of Georgetown standout Chris Wright. Rutgers associate head coach David Cox evaluated Ugbede this past week at the Blue Star African Showcase, held near the Peach Jam in North Augusta, S.C. "He's just nasty, he knows how to score," said Joe Boncore, Ugbede's mentor. "That was basically Coach Cox's evaluation. He just knows how to score." Rice still needs to see play Ugbede play in person before any official commitment can be taken. Boncore previously compared Ugbede to Xavier Henry and calls him a "slashing scorer." In one game with the Union Bank basketball club in Nigeria, Ugbede put up 21 points, 17 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Among other African players Boncore says are being recruited highly are: **Chinonso Obokoh, 6-10, 2013, Rochester Bishop Kearney (Georgetown) **Maurice Emmanuel, 6-5, 2011, Huntington (West Va.)

The Al Habtoor City project just keeps making headlines. Fresh from announcing the first few details of The Atrium, a huge entertainment and dining destination at the heart of the project, it has now emerged that Dubai's most expensive apartment could have been sold within the development.
According to Arabian Business, Al Habtoor Group has sold the first of twelve penthouses in the Ultimate Collection, but have so far declined to say which one.
The Ultimate Collection incorporates 12 penthouses ranging from 880 sqm to 2,786 sqm, in addition to two VIP penthouses, which cover four flours of luxury living space, including seven bedrooms, and boast spectacular 360 degree views of Dubai's skyline.
The VIP penthouses are priced at Dhs209,844,888 ($57m) - more expensive that the Dsh200 million penthouse in the One at Palm Jumeirah project.
The collection also includes a range of simplex and duplex penthouses, with the sale prices ranging from Dhs66,237,888 ($18m) to Dhs209,844,888 ($57m) depending on the configuration.
"Whether buying a penthouse or a luxury apartment within Al Habtoor City, you are not only buying a home, you are buying a lifestyle choice," Dr Brian Etemad, CEO, Tamleek Real Estate Co, the group's exclusive sales agent, said.
"Al Habtoor City has so much to offer, whereby the best of the lifestyles that Las Vegas (without the gambling), Macau, and Monte Carlo have to offer are included in a one-of-a-kind development with the Al Habtoor City."
The projects also includes The Residence Collection, which consists of three luxury towers boasting 1,460 apartments named after Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor's daughters Noura, Amna and Meera.
Al Habtoor City sits directly on the Dubai Water Canal, which is due to be completed later this year. Once complete, it will connect Al Habtoor City to the Dubai Creek and Arabian Gulf.
Al Habtoor City comprises three ultra-luxurious residential towers, three five-star hotels, and an array of retail and leisure facilities, as well as a boulevard, marina promenade, tennis academy and landscaped gardens.

Ana Maria Abba is a 45 year old mother of two young children living in San Diego. Her son Anthony is eight years old and her daughter Sophia, six. We spoke on the phone last week, and she made the emphatic point that she has done a complete 180 from whom she used to be. Growing up outside of the Washington, D.C. area as a self-described conservative, Ana has a business degree in finance and management from Virginia Tech and an M.B.A. in marketing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She knew nothing about holistic medicine and even less about medical marijuana.
Thank you, Ana, for agreeing to tell us your story today. Why don't you tell me a little about your son Anthony, his diagnosis of autism and how you got here, talking to me about medical cannabis.
My husband and I were living in Malaysia when Anthony was diagnosed with autism at 2 1/2 years old. Something happened to him between nine months and year. At a year old, things started changing, but I didn't know what it was. I had heard about autism, but I was too afraid to do anything about it. We were still living in the states and supposed to move to Malaysia, but we were delayed and ended up staying another year. Anthony had been a very social baby and progressed really quickly. He was wicked smart. Right around a year, though, he started lagging in development and wasn't reaching milestones. Any time I took him somewhere, he'd cry and fuss. As soon as I walked out the door from where we were, he'd stop. Now I know he had sensory processing issues, but like I said — I was afraid.
So, you move to Malaysia and then he's diagnosed?
Yes, he was finally diagnosed in Malaysia. I dove right into the "what do I do?" thing and started cranial-sacral therapy, Japanese acupuncture and special diets.
Even though you weren't a person interested in holistic medicine before?
Yes. I dove right into it. I was influenced tremendously by Marissa Ali, one of the co-founders of the Thinking Moms Revolution, and she had a support group for biomedical treatment for autism for the people in Malaysia. She helped me to figure it all out as far as supplements, doctors to use, etc. I owe her so much. That Yahoo support group was invaluable.
Tell me a little about Anthony at this time — what was he like and how severe was his autism?
Anthony was considered to be severely autistic at that time. He cried even more than my newborn daughter. He was always crying. He was unhappy and in pain. He had no communication by then. Nothing reciprocal. He didn't point or gesture. He didn't care about his little sister. She didn't exist. No one, actually, existed for him except for me, my husband and my mother. For some reason, we never lost our connection to him. I think it's because we found ways to connect to him.
So people he didn't know couldn't connect with him, but you three knew how to do so?
Yes. His visual processing began to deteriorate dramatically, and he couldn't enjoy books anymore. We had always read to him, so this was particularly hard for me. He was diagnosed with strabismus, and the only game he wanted to play with me was to throw things at me, down the stairs. He loved to watch things fall, so I'd play this with him, over and over. He didn't like playing catch anymore, either, but he did like spinning things. He was also very obsessive-compulsive, certain liquids had to go in certain cups. If I didn't give him what he wanted, he wouldn't eat it or drink it. The rigidity extended to going anywhere new or different. He just wouldn't do it.
So what sort of results did you see when you introduced the alternative therapies?
Basically, when I took him off of wheat and milk, the crying stopped. The cranial sacral work and Japanese acupuncture made him calmer. He got those once a week. I also took him to an Applied Behavioral Intervention school where he cried for at least a month. Then he got into a routine. With the start of the DAN diet, he was happier. We saw less crying, he started eating different foods where before he'd been incredibly rigid, and he was able to then stay in school. The regression in his development stopped, too.
I'm thinking that these early alternative interventions and the success you were seeing must have been softening up what you described earlier as your "conservative" background. Maybe this was part of the journey toward using cannabis?
Yes. I'll tell you about that. First, though, I want to say that Anthony's cranial-sacral person was a godsend. She had gotten into the therapy because her youngest son was a drowning victim, almost died but was severely brain injured. She told me about hyperbaric oxygen therapy and how it had helped her son. In December of 2010, I started the therapy for Anthony while we were living in Malaysia. It was like a little miracle. Before a week was up, he started eating everything — meat, vegetables and fruit — things that he wouldn't touch beforehand. It was like a switch turned on. I don't know if it was a texture problem or something that just went away with the therapy, but he also started making sounds. Then he started singing his ABCs and began to be verbal.
Wow. How do you account for that kind of progress?
Well, to tell you the truth, I thought he was actively dying at first. His body wasn't functioning at all, so maybe when we poured the oxygen into his cells, they began giving him life. We did another round of the therapy, but it wasn't as miraculous as the first. I also started giving supplements and the other DAN stuff which helped the verbal thing. But you know, "verbal" is a long way from conversational.
This is wild stuff. When did you start hearing about cannabis medicine?
Well, we went back to the United States during the summer of 2011, and Anthony had by then progressed a good amount. A couple of years later, my husband saw something about Charlotte Figi and Charlotte's Web on Facebook. We thought it was interesting — I was actually blown away by it. I wondered how this cannabis stuff made this little girl's seizures go away. I started thinking about how it related to Anthony's problems, particularly what I call his "exciticity."
Tell me about that. I'm not sure that's a real word, but I get what you're saying.
When Anthony's nervous system gets overwhelmed or over-stimulated, he can't control himself. He can't control what he's feeling. I call that exciticity. His trigger is joy, to tell you the truth. He tries to contain that. He used to hand-flap a lot when he was excited. That would turn into waving with both arms up. Then he began trying to contain it by concentrating, holding his hands together and trying to get control of his body. It was controllable — not like seizures — but it was difficult. When I read about Charlotte Figi and seizures, I thought it must be something like it. That's why I started looking into it.
S0, you're living in San Diego now and thinking that Anthony might benefit from cannabis, but you don't know that much about it, yet, right?
When I look into something, I really dive deep, especially when it's controversial! I hooked up with Allison Benavides (profiled here), and I talked a lot to her. A week before Christmas of 2013, I found out about Charlotte, and during Christmas break I just dove in. By January of 2014, I had a product in hand of ACDC, a 24:1 ratio that I got from Jason David, another pioneer parent in medical cannabis. I started really slowly and titered up the dose really slowly.
Did you notice effects suddenly or over time?
I noticed that over time, Anthony's anxiety lessened. He was calmer. He started doing stuff on the playground more easily and faster. His gross motor skills improved, and he even started using the zip line for the first time. He was getting stronger and talking more. I was able to have conversations with him where before he was verbal but primarily echolalic and had verbal stims. That lessened to some degree.
So, it sounds like numerous functional areas changed with the cannabis.
Oh, yes. The cannabis helped him with so many things. It kept him on an even keel. Because of the endocannibinoid system and so many receptors in the gut, it helped to heal his gut. His gut is stronger now, as is his immune system. He was just overall stronger and healthier.
Did you try any other cannabis formulations or just CBD?
Well, we did try THCa, and it was like CBD on fire. He was so much more alert. By day three, though, the exciticity came back and I had to drop it.
A month or so ago, when I met you at the cannabis mother's support group, you told me that you're moving to Texas and that your son is no longer taking cannabis. Can you elaborate on that?
My husband is going overseas for work, and I have to move to Texas to get support from my mother. Unfortunately Texas laws prohibit cannabis use, even medical and for autism in particular. I decided to wean Anthony from cannabis in preparation for the move. I had found what we call "the sweet spot" for Anthony by mixing THC into the CBD oil, and I can't do that in Texas because of the law. I just can't chance the legal ramifications of using CBD oil in Texas, and I just can't afford to live here in California alone with the kids. I don't have the money or the support.
Wow. That's intense. Since you took him off the oil, what did you notice?
What I've seen is mostly the emotional stuff — the emotional control he'd gained isn't there anymore. His anxiety is up, his emotional regulation is all over the place. Taking him off the oil really showed me that it's doing something to help regulate his emotions and anxiety.
How about any changes in his digestive system?
I think the changes have mostly been emotional. I do believe that the CBD and other things I'd been doing have gotten his immune system and gut to a much higher level of functioning than it ever was. But the emotional control — the poor kid is used to something helping him. He knows that something is different, but he doesn't know why. He shouldn't have to go through that. It's stupid law. That's why I'm very against CBD-only laws. THC is also needed to wean off of pharmaceuticals. It also helps regulate the body and keep calm to the body. It's absolutely needed and necessary.
I am so frustrated that you can't stay here in California. No chance?
No chance. I can absolutely not afford to live here. I don't have the money or the support. But I will figure something out.
Given your tendency to dive deep and do everything necessary for your son, I can imagine that you WILL figure it out. Do you have any other things you'd like to share with our audience?
Yes. I want to stress the importance of the endocannabinoid system. It's nature's medicine. I was very ignorant of the power of cannabis, based on what I'd read in the media. Medical marijuana, to me, was an excuse to get high. I thought that was a given. I now really wish that people would be open to new therapies and ideas, would investigate new things themselves before discounting them. If you are going off of beliefs from mainstream media or are entrenched in those beliefs, you need to look at the other side and investigate yourself. Don't just assume that what the doctor tells you is good. Look. Investigate it yourself. When I took a look, I realized I was wrong about cannabis. I was so wrong about it. Then I had a reason to try it. I'd also like to say that I have been exploring it myself as a treatment for my own anxiety. It's been tremendously helpful.
Your website is Greener Path to Health. Can you tell us a little bit about it?
Ever since Anthony's diagnosis, the whole thing got me so angry that I started it. Basically, it talks about all the things I've learned on my journey. Essential oils, cannabis, energy medicine — really anything with the least side effects. Living green means not putting dangerous pharmaceuticals in your mouth. I have a very active Facebook page, too.
I imagine you will be a powerful voice for change in Texas. What are your plans?
I intend to be a loud voice in Texas and engage with and be involved in particular with the group MAMMA, or Mothers Advocating Medical Marijuana for Autism.
Thank you so much, Ana. I wish you much luck and continued strength and courage on your journey.

|Volume 5, Number 42 February 24, 2016
Dear Healthcare at Home Colleague,
CMS and its contractors are all over the news again this week. We only had time to treat one of three stories in a full-length article. Here is a briefing on the other two. Beware Medicare providers in California, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. CMS's newly released Moratoria and Utilization Map identifies these states as having too many home health providers. All are in the top quartile, with California and New York separated out as having "extreme values." If the existing moratorium expands to more states, these will be the next ones added to the list.
The other Medicare news item is an odd one and we are asking your help to understand it. In an effort to provide "guidance," Palmetto GBA published this statement and we have heard there is widespread confusion over exactly what it means. One Medicare expert believes whoever wrote it has conflated two different rules: CFR 184.108.40.206 and 40.2.1, begging the question, is it possible that the people CMS has entrusted to decide whether to pay you or not do not understand the rules under which you are required to operate?
If you have an opinion on what this means, please let us know. And then there is one more bulletin from Baltimore. A CMS proposed rule would test the practice of requiring prior authorization for home health services, just as commercial insurance does. It would be tested in five states with the worst fraud reputations. We have published instructions for submitting your comments on the idea before the April 5 deadline. Click on "Home Health Pre-Authorization Proposed" in this week's headlines, below.
In other news this week:
I'll have an important announcement next week about a joint project I am working on with the VNAA. It will happen during their annual meeting, April 6-8 in Miami. If you do not already have plans to attend, here is the link: vnaa.org/vnaa-2016. Lastly, speaking of links, put June 8-10 on your calendar as well. The folks who operate Homecare 100 have created a new event, in Chicago, for all types of post-acute care providers. Click on the large banner ad below. I hope to see you at both events.
Have a great week. Keep making a difference!

The Week Ahead: What to Watch in College Basketball 2/15-2/21
Kyle Nelson
Marquee Match ups:
Connecticut at #3 Villanova (Monday, February 15th: 7 p.m. on ESPN)
Villanova is one of the nations top teams and faces a desperate Connecticut at home in what could be a spectacular game.
The match up to watch is on the perimeter between Villanovas senior point guard Scottie Reynolds and UConn sophomore Kemba Walker. Reynolds has emerged as one of the most dominant scoring guards in the nation. The problem, however, is that he lacks the size and athleticism NBA teams typically look for at the point guard position, and his playmaking instincts and defensive skills are not nearly refined enough.
Despite improved statistical output, Walker has had a somewhat disappointing season and has lacked the consistency and offensive efficiency many hoped he would provide as a sophomore. Both Reynolds and Walker have a lot to prove to scouts and this game is a good place to start.
The Huskies may not have much hope of securing a coveted NCAA bid unless they go on a serious run, but there are quite a few players who will still be competing hard for their NBA futures. Combo-forward Stanley Robinson is a projected lottery pick and can only improve his stock with continued consistency.
Similarly, seniors Jerome Dyson and Gavin Edwards are on the NBA Draft radar and need solid performances to continue to gain momentum going into the pre-draft process. Villanova also has some interesting young players who will likely emerge down the road, such as Dominic Cheek, Maalik Wayns and Mouphtaou Yarou.
#25 Wake Forest at Virginia Tech (Tuesday, February 16th: 7 p.m. on ESPN2)
Wake Forests convincing win over Georgia Tech moved them above Virginia Tech into second place in the ACC standings.
There are interesting match ups all over the floor, but the most interesting seems to be in the post where Wake Forests future lottery pick Al-Farouq Aminu will face off against the tough and versatile Virginia Tech power forward Jeff Allen. Aminu must utilize his skill and athleticism against a tougher opponent and scouts are expecting Allen to assert himself and produce on the offensive end.
This match up is also interesting because Wake Forests 611 back-up center, Tony Woods, is beginning to show a pulse and remind scouts why they considered him to be a top-tier prospect out of high school.
On the perimeter, neither Wake Forests point guard Ishmael Smith nor Virginia Techs scoring guard Malcolm Delaney is particularly efficient on the offensive end, but both have some intriguing characteristics about them. Scouts will be watching both players to see if they can make good decisions while facilitating for their teammates. Delaney is considered to be a legitimate prospect at the next level for the past two seasons and could use a good performance in the national spotlight to continue to build his case.
Finally, be sure to watch Wake Forests athletic 67 freshman wing Ari Stewart, who is slowly emerging as perimeter threat and an NBA prospect, even though he is still inconsistent.
#2 Kentucky at Mississippi State (Tuesday, February 16th: 8 pm. on ESPN)
While Mississippi State doesnt have anybody capable of guarding John Wall and Eric Bledsoe, Kentuckys freshman backcourt that requires no introduction, this game offers an interesting match up in the post. Mississippi States senior center Jarvis Varnado is averaging 13.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 5.0 blocks per game and is a force on the defensive end of the floor. His match up with DeMarcus Cousins will be fascinating to watch, as its one of the few opportunities scouts will have to see the Kentucky center against an NBA caliber defender. Cousins has seemingly gotten control of his temper and is next to unstoppable once he establishes position on the low block. Kentuckys veteran power forward Patrick Patterson has shown the skill and consistency to work his way into the lottery and must continue to anchor this young team while showing his offensive versatility.
#5 Syracuse at #10 Georgetown (Thursday, February 18th: 7 p.m. on ESPN)
Both Syracuse and Georgetown were upset last week and both teams are looking to rebound. Even outside of the extra motivation, this could be an outstanding match up of dueling styles and tempos.
Syracuse won the last time these two met and just as it will be this time, the story was Georgetown sophomore center Greg Monroe and Syracuses junior combo-forward Wesley Johnson. Monroe has come out of his shell recently, showcasing his versatility and skill in addition to greater focus. Scouts will expect to see him continue to be assertive on offense and to make good decisions on both ends of the floor. Johnson has far exceeded expectations this season, but his miserable 5/20 shooting display against Louisville exposed quite a few of his weaknesses as a shot creator. He will need to score effectively and efficiently if Syracuse is going to win in Washington, D.C.
UCLA at Washington State (Thursday, February 18th: 8:30 p.m. on FSN)
UCLA is having a disastrous and highly forgettable season, but Malcolm Lee has shown flashes of developing into the type of player capable of reviving the team. While his inconsistency, particularly in his shooting, has been frustrating, there is no denying his talent and versatility on both ends of the floor. Against Washington State, he will face off against Klay Thompson, a wiry 66 sophomore and shooting specialist who has both blossomed and struggled in an increased role. Scouts will be watching to see if Thompson can score against more athletic defenders, particularly given his 5/17 FG performance against UCLA in January.
Another player to watch is Washington States freshman point guard Reggie Moore, who has shown potential as both a scorer and distributor. He scored 24 points against UCLA in their last meeting, but has struggled as of late, particularly with his turnovers.
#12 Ohio State at #11 Michigan State (Sunday, February 21st: 12 p.m. on CBS)
Ohio States Evan Turner came back from his freak back injury better than ever, and powered the Buckeyes to their sixth straight win over the weekend. The versatile point forward has done everything, outside of knocking down perimeter jump shots, to maximize his draft position going into the post-season. Michigan States defense, however, will make things difficult, particularly if combo-forward Raymar Morgan or wing Durrell Summers can snap out of their funks and regain their past forms. Morgan has not been considered to be a prospect since his sophomore year, but with just five games left, he is running out of time to make his case. Summers has fallen into Tom Izzos doghouse and despite his athleticism and potential, has yet to find his way out.
Michigan States real star, however, is point guard Kalin Lucas, who is back in action after missing time with a sprained ankle and coming off one of the best games of his career. Ohio State will be hard pressed to stop Lucas, and scouts will be looking for him to continue his excellent play.
Be on the look out for Ohio States roleplayers, particularly William Buford. Buford is likely going to test the waters this summer and has finally shown glimpses of versatility, in addition to his proven ability to score. He has a chance to be a first round pick if he can increase his consistency and produce against good defenses.
Under The Radar:
Fresno State at Nevada (Wednesday, February 18th: 8 p.m. on ESPN Full Court)
Fresno State swingman Paul George is a first-round talent on a bad team. He is a smooth and lanky 68 wing with shooting touch and versatility to spare. Other than a few games lost to injury, he has performed well, but not without his share of bad shooting nights. He must continue to prove to scouts that he can produce when his perimeter shot isnt fall and he will get his chance against a Nevada team that features NBA prospects like Armon Johnson and Luke Babbitt. If Fresno States frontcourt of Sylvester Seay and Greg Smith, both interesting players in their own right, rise to the occasion, this could be a better game than advertised.
Nevada is a formidable team, however. Armon Johnson has had his share of ups and downs this season, particularly in terms of his perimeter shooting, but he is nonetheless developing into a solid point guard prospect and has raised his draft stock steadily since emerging from obscurity this season. Luke Babbitt is a sweet shooting big man, who has increased his efficiency both inside and outside, while averaging 21.6 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. His development and continued evolution into a well-rounded player has been intriguing and has not been overlooked in NBA Draft circles. Nevada will get the chance to play Missouri State on the road on Saturday for Bracket Busters, too, giving draft enthusiasts a chance to see both Johnson and Babbitt play against two distinctly different teams.
Siena at #13 Butler (Saturday, February 20th: 11 a.m. on ESPN2)
Though a loss at Niagara did not help their case for an at-large bid, Siena remains one of the top mid-major teams in the country and will travel to 15th ranked Butler for a chance to pad their NCAA Tournament resume.
Though this game should be entertaining in its own right, do not miss the chance to see a formidable inside-outside match up between Sienas 66 athletic power wing Edwin Ubiles and Butlers Gordan Hayward, a prospect who might still be underrated despite performing at a high level against elite competition.
Haywards athleticism and efficiency have been questioned this season as he has not been able to score as easily and his perimeter shot has not been falling at quite the same rate. Against Ubiles, Hayward will have to exert his size advantage to score inside and outside while proving he can compete on the defensive end.
Ubiless draft stock has yet to bounce back from an underwhelming junior campaign, and despite his size, athleticism, and potential, he is still nowhere near NBA-ready and likely a long shot to get drafted without a great outing at Portsmouth. A good showing here is essential if he wishes to stay relevant. Both prospects are in need of positive publicity to emerge from mid-major obscurity and a good performance here could help jump-start things.
UTEP at Tulsa (Saturday, February 20th: 4 p.m. on CBS College Sports)
Conference USA could sneak as many as four teams into the NCAA tournament and UTEP and Tulsa are arguably the conferences best. This game, however, pits Conference USAs best big men against each other in a match up that scouts will be watching.
Tulsas 70 senior big man Jerome Jordan has not improved quite as quickly as scouts would have hoped and still has not dominated in match ups against premier NCAA big men. With few tests remaining before the post-season, expect him to improve upon his 20-point, five-rebound, and three-block performance against UTEP in early February in an attempt to prove to scouts that he has the toughness and skill to contribute at the next level.
His competition will be former Louisville Cardinal and current UTEP Miner Derrick Caracter, a 69 center with quick feet and a high skill-level on the block. Scouts will be watching to see whether Caracter can score against Jordan and similarly, whether Jordan can contain Caracter.
Of course, Jordan will also have to face Arnett Moultrie, UTEPs 611 big man who can score inside and outside and is due for a big night in front of scouts after a slew of unimpressive performances.
This game could be interesting for draft enthusiasts away from the post, as well, as some fringe prospects attempt to make a name for themselves including athletic 67 combo-forward Jeremy Williams, 66, pass-first point guard Julyan Stone for UTEP and Tulsas 63 do-it-all combo-guard Ben Uzoh.
Dayton at Duquesne (Sunday, February 21st: 1 p.m. on ESPN2)
After dropping to 6-4 in conference play, Dayton is slowly falling off of the NCAA Tournament radar. The Flyers could turn things around, however, with a win at home against LaSalle and in a nationally televised road game against Duquesne.
Even though Dayton will be favored to win this game, do not miss this match up between two of the Atlantic 10s top NBA prospects: Duquesnes 67 combo-forward Damian Saunders and Daytons 68 combo-forward Chris Wright. Both prospects have struggled with consistency in their junior seasons, though their tantalizing combination of size, athleticism, and versatility are impossible to ignore.
Saunders is averaging 15.0 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.8 steals, and 3.3 blocks per game while shooting 50% from the field. Less positive, however, is his 49.2% FT and 20% 3FG, both down significantly from last season and definitely two areas of his game that need significant improvement. Saunders may elect to test the waters and could impress GMs with his unique skill set.
Wright has been on scouts radars since he was in high school and has slowly developed into a legitimate NBA prospect. Like Saunders, however, his inability to make shots from the perimeter and questionable decision making skills still hold his game back. Expect a big game from both prospects in front of a national audience, and keep an eye out for Dayton wing Chris Johnson, an athletic 66 sophomore who has quietly averaged 12.3 points and 7.7 rebounds while shooting 36% from beyond the arc.
