DeSean Jackson appeared on Friday night's SportsCenter in a sit down interview with Stephen A. Smith that clarified a few questions but left us wondering more.
I don't think Smith did a particularly good job with DeSean, but he did get him to admit that he knows gang members and the response given when asked if he hangs out with them was perhaps the biggest nugget to come out of the whole thing:
Asked if he hangs out with gang members, Jackson said, "Not if they're doing negative things." He added that gangs were products of the environment in which he grew up and that he witnessed "things" on a daily basis.
"Do I know people who are involved? Yes," he said. "I'm definitely aware of and know certain gang members.
"But as far as being affiliated, never have been in one. I've always felt I've been a product of my environment, but I've always felt I've wanted to do things the right way."
Then they got into a discussion on the semantics of gang signs, which didn't appear to make a whole lot of sense to me. Jackson admitted he uses some sort of signage on occasion but again denied it was gang related, instead saying it was something he and people he grew up with do to relate to their roots; more of a cultural thing.
I don't think this interview really changed much of the perception of DeSean but it does clarify that he knew gang members and probably hung out with them in the past -- from the sounds of it, probably pretty recently too.
As for the Eagles? They didn't even give DeSean a legit reason for his release? Jackson made it seem like all Chip Kelly told him over the phone was that they'd chosen to go in a new direction. DeSean said his relationship with Chip was good but that Andy Reid was something of a father figure.
I don't think DeSean Jackson is a bad person underneath it all, but he did admit to being late to meetings and missing at least one during his time with the Eagles. Not exactly a fire-able offense. He hasn't always surrounded himself with the best people. At least we know he admitted to that now.
This interview didn't make me feel more one way or the other about the bizarre situation. How about you?

It could be the single most important question for the presidential election in Florida: Can Barack Obama translate thousands of new Democratic voters into thousands of more votes?
Because on the surface, the voter registration trend in Florida should be worrisome to John McCain and Republicans, who can't afford to lose Florida's 27 electoral votes. While the state GOP added about 126,000 voters this year through July, Florida Democrats added 236,000.
Since January, Democrats accounted for nearly 45 percent of about 530,000 new registrations in Florida, compared with 24 percent for Republicans and 31 percent for independents and minor parties. More than twice as many new Hispanic voters — a heavily courted electorate — registered Democratic as Republican, as did new voters under 35.
"Floridians are enthusiastic for change," state Democratic chairwoman Karen Thurman said. "With so many new Democratic voters, a record number of volunteers, and great candidates running for offices across Florida, we are seeing a wave of support building to elect Barack Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket."
Florida has nearly 4.4-million Democrats, 3.9-million Republicans and 2.3-million voters who aren't registered with either party, though those numbers can be misleading because so many North Florida Democrats vote Republican in presidential races. Since Election Day in 2004, Republican voter rolls swelled nearly 1 percent in Florida and Democratic numbers grew 3 percent.
The Obama campaign has launched an unprecedented voter mobilization effort in Florida that is focused heavily on registering African-Americans, Hispanics and younger people who have never voted.
Registering voters is not the same thing as getting them to vote, however. Four years ago, the John Kerry campaign and several lavishly funded groups crowed about Democrats outregistering Republicans by more than 60,000 votes, but President Bush still comfortably won Florida.
Of the new voters in 2004, Republicans beat Democrats in turnout by 10 percentage points.
"The Florida Democrat organization can't hold a candle to the (our) time-tested strategy of recruiting volunteers and focusing on the people who are likely to vote, and they certainly can't do it by focusing all their energy on young people and those who have never voted before in their lives," said state GOP spokesman Erin VanSickle.
"The Democrats have beaten us in new registration before, but what they don't do is turn those registered voters out at the polls. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is who turns out and actually casts a vote."
Unlike 2004, when Democratic voter registration groups were legally barred from coordination with the Kerry-Edwards campaign, Democrats this year essentially have one organization. Much like Bush-Cheney, they also are relying more heavily on volunteers than paid canvassers.
"We have a volunteer system like no new campaign has seen in decades," said Obama deputy campaign manager Steve Hildebrand. "You only need a certain amount of structure when you're operating within our campaign. The volunteer system is so serious with our supporters we're able to get operational in a very short amount of time."
The deadline has passed for registering for the Aug. 26 primary election, and the registration deadline for the general election is Oct. 6.
In the new numbers, Democrats see implications that could extend well beyond this year.
More than 131,000 new voters under 35 registered as Democrats, for instance, compared with 63,392 who registered as Republicans, according to Democratic figures. Among new Hispanic voters, Democrats gained 49,381 and Republicans 19,759. Only 3,400 new African-American voters registered Republican, compared with more than 75,000 who registered Democratic.
But it seems not all Florida Democrats are fired up for Obama. More than 40,500 switched to the GOP, while more than 46,000 Republicans became Democrats.

'Tis the season to be jolly and a bunch of playful pugs are showing us how it's done.
The canines, Ainsleigh, Peggy-Sue, Audrey, Fez, Eugene, Percy and Pav, from Brisbane, Australia, got into the Christmas spirit by dressing up as Santa, pulling a sleigh and even adorning festive holiday lights.
"There's nothing happier than Christmas and pugs in my opinion," Adam Cox, the viral video's creator, wrote to GoodMorningAmerica.com.
The pets are all part of a local "Pug Meetup Group" of pug enthusiasts who get together about once a month to socialize with each other and, evidently, spread some Christmas cheer.
The YouTube video of the little reindeer-wannabes joyfully prancing around a park, sitting in Santa's lap and playing with a piñata has garnered more than 98,000 views since it was originally posted on Dec. 1.

Turkish bread pizzas
Turkish bread pizzas
These pizzas are great for an after-school snack. Using turkish bread as a pizza base is a nice change and super quick. This is a very simple topping but you could add some ham if you wish.
serves: 4
- 1 turkish bread
- 1 cup grated tasty or mozzarella cheese
- 150g punnet cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup pitted kalamata olives, halved (optional)
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Slice the Turkish bread in half lengthways. Sprinkle cheese over each half, top with tomatoes and olives (if using).
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden and the bread is crisp. Sprinkle with basil leaves and serve immediately.
- Using turkish bread as a pizza base is a nice change and super quick. This is a very simple topping – sometimes you just don't feel like all that processed meat!
- That said, to bulk up the meal, add some slices of ham, turkey or chicken breast, some leftover roast vegies or add some baby spinach or rocket leaves with basil just before serving.

Mapping National Innovation Systems in the OECD Area
The purpose of this paper is to present new findings about the structure and the organization of innovative activities in selected OECD countries. By using the approach of national sys-tems of innovation as a conceptual framework and by applying multivariate data analysis techniques, this paper aims to add new insights into the specific structures of the eighteen national systems of innovation under study. A central result from this comparative study is a categorisation of national systems of innovation into different clusters, with each cluster rep-resenting distinctive cross-national structural similarities. By accounting for sectoral specif-ics, the commonly taken perspective on national innovation systems is extended. Thereby, a more precise picture of the structural composition of the analyzed national innovation sys-tems accrues. Also, a new linkage between the two approaches of national and sectoral inno-vation systems is created.

Dale Jr.: No need to speed up Elliott's timetable
May 17, 2014, Reid Spencer, NASCAR Wire Service, NASCAR.com
CONCORD, N.C. -- Those who are eager to promote Chase Elliott to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will have to get past Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Yes, Elliott has already won two NASCAR Nationwide Series races this season. Yes, he has a realistic chance to win the Sunoco Rookie of the Year award and the series championship in the same season.
But no matter what Elliott achieves this year, car-owner Earnhardt insists the driver of the No. 9 is on a two-year plan in the Nationwide Series. That's his timetable, and he's sticking to it.
"We have like a two-year plan, I suppose, that he runs in the Nationwide Series, and I think you just stick with the plan regardless of the success he is having," Earnhardt said Friday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, quashing talk of an early promotion. "You have the commitments in line with sponsors and what have you, so I think it will suit him well to relax and not have to worry about that and just follow the plan that he has had in front of him from the start.
"He is really young too, so he has a lot of time on his hands and time to get to Cup level to realize that potential, one day. But yes, I think he can just sit there and relax knowing what we tried to set out to do from the start and not really adjust."
Besides, the 18-year-old driver has plenty to keep him occupied. This weekend Elliott is commuting between his high school graduation in Georgia and the NNS race in Iowa.
On a quick turnaround to promote the June 14 Driving for Linemen 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Gateway Motorsports Park near St. Louis, driver Timothy Peters stopped by Busch Stadium to throw out the first pitch Tuesday night's rivalry game between the Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs.
Peters then spent the first four innings enjoying the game with the denizens of the left field bleachers.
Even though he was out of his element on the pitcher's mound, Peters said taking the green flag at Daytona is a much more nerve-wracking experience.
"But this is no different from the stage that's presented to us every weekend," Peters told the NASCAR Wire Service. "This is just as much of a rush as it is strapping into my Toyota Tundra every week."
Nor is baseball an acquired taste for Peters, who has followed the sport since childhood.
"I like the Cardinals, and not because I had the opportunity to throw the first pitch," Peters said. "But living in southeast Virginia, it's only six hours from the Atlanta Braves, so I always grew up kind of a Braves fan, too."
Kurt Busch took his first tangible step toward his May 25 Indianapolis 500/Coca-Cola 600 double, posting a lap at 229.960 mph in the first round of qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
That speed was third fastest when Busch left Indy for his regular job -- driving the No. 41 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet in Saturday night's Sprint All-Star Race.
As drivers continued to run laps at the Brickyard, Busch slipped down the speed chart, but no matter. The starting order, including the pole for the Indy 500, won't be determined until the second qualifying session on Sunday.
Tony Stewart, new to Twitter, but well-versed in all aspects of motorsports, posted a message of encouragement to his SHR teammate.
"Congrats to my teammate @Kurt Busch for qual for his first #Indy500," wrote Stewart, who obviously is getting the hang of Twitter handles and hashtags.
"Thnx, Boss -- let's go get 'er done tonight!" Busch replied before boarding a plane back to North Carolina.

What initials spring to mind when you think Porsche? MPH? RPM? Sure. SUV? Not so much. But the German sports car maker rolled out the Cayenne in 2002, and we're sure it had these initials in mind: USA, as in the land of SUV sales. Maybe the Cayenne's success is what prompted Porsche to recently introduce a sedan, the Panamera.
Appearance: In profile, the Cayenne is all clean lines, with big wheel wells. In the front is where it gets interesting. The Cayenne has a love-it-or-leave-it snout with a gaping grille opening flanked by vents and topped by large, arched headlights. From the rear, the Cayenne has a squat stance that recalls some of its siblings.
Performance: The S version I tested is in the mid range (!) of Cayenne performance. Still, the 4.8-liter V-8 pumps out 385 horsepower. The acceleration is instantaneous, but doesn't throw you back in the seat. Still, for a vehicle that weighs almost 5,000 pounds, that's impressive for a non-turbo. For an SUV with decent ground clearance (and let's face it, who is going to take this off-road? I didn't), it has little body lean, handles like a sedan and has a smooth highway ride. It must be the weight — and the all-wheel drive — that keep the Cayenne planted. The six-speed Tiptronic S transmission shifts smoothly, as one would expect from its sports-car lineage. The steering is responsive, yet I found it on the light side. The brakes are up to the challenge of stopping a large performance vehicle.
Interior: The leather cockpit is typical Porsche, meaning fit and finish are first-rate. The five-gauge dash is attractive. The seats are comfortable and well-bolstered. The center console and nav screen are attractive, if not a little heavy on the buttons and toggles. On either side of the transmission console are handles — a sign that Porsche thinks drivers will need something to grab? The automatic rear lift gate is nice, but shorter drivers might find the button a reach. The folding rear seat is comfortable, if not roomy.
Three favorites
Peter Couture
Performance: If you can afford a sports car, but your spouse won't let you buy one, then . . .
Cockpit: Leather interiors never get old, and Porsche does it as well as anyone this side of Mercedes.
Handling: It's not a sports car, but it outperforms most SUVs. And it can do some light off-roading — let's see the 911 do that!
Note: Sorry, folks, Lyra was out with the flu and couldn't review this car.
The bottom line: The Cayenne is more about the Sport in SUV than the Utility. If you want performance, room for five, the Porsche cachet (along with its high price tag and not-so-miserly mpg), then the Cayenne is worth considering.

I was asked to make teddy bear on cupcakes for a girl's birthday party, as the party theme is "build a bear". My idea is to do fondant cut-out of bears, and stick on frosting.
I'm thinking I can make fondant bears a few days ahead so on the day before delivery, I just need to put them on so I'm not rushing all at one time. However, I now think the fondant gets very dry and hard after a few days, so the kids won't be able to eat the fondant bears at the party. I'm little unsure now.
Any suggestions? Thanks all in advance.
I would use it and advise that they are food grade but not really edible.. the kids can gnaw on them if they want, whatever!
Aandreamak, thank you for answering!
Yeah, kids will like it, no matter what. Go with your original plan and they'll love it.

The human cost of short-term teaching
Teach For America founder Wendy Kopp once said, "If top recent college graduates devoted two years to teaching in public schools, they could have a real impact on the lives of disadvantaged kids." I agree. TFA members and other short-term teachers have changed kids' lives—for the worse.
As an idealistic Ivy League graduate, I was the student TFA likes to recruit. According to Kopp's thesis, my education, academic achievements, and enthusiasm would transfer into great teaching.
But these credentials were not enough to make me a good teacher. I was a weak third grade teacher when I started in the Bronx. I couldn't get students to stop talking over me. I couldn't interest them in the material. I had no notion of what they already knew and didn't know. I couldn't calm their anxieties or relate to their life-experiences. They acted out and did little work.
I had been a "top student," but I was certainly not a top teacher. Not surprisingly, scholarly attainments and lofty ambitions did not translate to the hard-won skills of managing a room full of emotionally and academically needy 8-year-olds.
It took me years to acquire the skills needed to provide children with the education they deserve. Good teachers must have knowledge of students' cultural background and the life of the neighborhood. They must learn the fine balance needed for maintaining order while conveying love.
Through experience, teachers learn to successfully work with autistic, defiant, scared, and dyslexic children. Teaching requires insight into children's feelings and experiences, and the ability to guide them through the seismic shifts of childhood with a steady, knowing hand.
Ill-equipped to succeed
According to the U.S. Surgeon General's Office, one in five American children show signs of a mental disorder. In 2011, there were more than 660,000 American children in foster care.
Newly minted college graduates are ill-equipped to succeed in this landscape. Yet the myth of the "enthusiastic wunderkind teacher" persists. Would we want a nanny that had never worked with kids? We shouldn't allow those who wouldn't qualify as nannies to be professional educators.
Would we expand this idea to other professions? Do we think the best lawyers are those fresh out of law school? Would we choose a rookie surgeon because of his or her enthusiasm?
When applied to any other profession, this notion of equating high achievement with lack of experience is exposed as profoundly wrong-headed. Asserting that the best teachers are those without experience insults teachers and debases their profession.
Do we think that the rapid turnover in our field goes unnoticed by the children? As a charter school administrator, I saw the emotional scars left by the constant churn of teaching staff. The children, feeling unloved, unwanted and abandoned, cried every year when teachers they loved left.
Each year I saw the new teachers scrambling. Most novice teachers were unable to establish order in their classrooms. These rooms were chaotic places where angry children bullied scared children, and where quiet, struggling children didn't get the help they needed because their teacher was putting out fires. Overwhelmed, scared teachers produced overwhelmed, scared students.
On rare occasions, first-year teachers do possess classroom management skills. I worked with one such teacher. She was a Harvard graduate from the same urban neighborhood as our students. The children listened to her. Unfortunately, after a year, most of her students had actually lost ground in reading because she had consistently chosen texts that were far beyond their instructional level.
She had invested energy into "managing" her class, as first-year teachers do. This left her with little bandwidth for developing sound lessons. With experience, she could have become a great teacher. Sadly, she left the job after two years.
Steep curve
The learning curve of teaching is too steep for even the best and the brightest to be successful if they don't stay. We need to recruit and retain bright people.
All children deserve experienced, dedicated educators who are committed to constant growth. TFA-type short-termers offer one benefit. They are inexpensive and therefore attractive to budget-strapped communities. The old proverb, however, says it best: "You get what you pay for." But this is an entirely different discussion.
Catherine Ionata is a professional educator and an advocate for child-centered learning.

Town Hall decision must be reconsidered
The Christchurch City Council's unanimous decision to save the Christchurch Town Hall will be welcomed by many people. A poll conducted by The Press a few weeks ago found that 87 per cent of those polled believed rebuilding the town hall should be a top priority, significantly above the number who wanted a new rugby stadium.
Many experts had argued strongly for it. Sir Howard Marshall, who designed the building's acoustics, said it was the finest piece of architecture built in New Zealand in the latter half of the 20th century, "a true taonga", and Associate Professor Ian Lochhead, of the University of Canterbury, said that no other New Zealand building had had an influence on world architecture to compare with it. As one of the few remaining public buildings of any distinction whose future is still in doubt, there is undoubtedly considerable sentiment in favour of trying to save it.
The city council must make its decisions on more than sentiment, however, and in this case it is hard to escape the conclusion that the council has not taken everything it should have into consideration and that, at best, has come to a decision prematurely. The misgivings expressed by the Minister of Earthquake Recovery, Gerry Brownlee, appear to be entirely justified.
The city council was undoubtedly correct to reject a staff recommendation that only the main auditorium be saved. The auditorium is, of course, the centrepiece of the structure, but it is the whole building that Christchurch people have become attached to. The idea of being able to retain some kind of stub of it in any form that would be at all aesthetically pleasing was difficult to contemplate.
There are huge problems, though, with trying to save the whole building. Damage to it is severe. The restaurant, meeting rooms and James Hay Theatre are particularly badly damaged, to the point that council staff did not think they could be saved. The auditorium would require extensive repair. More worrying is that the ground beneath the building has shifted and skewed it.
Geotechnical reports on the ground have yet to be completed and Brownlee is correct to say that until they are, no final decision can be made. Even without them, it is possible to guess that the site is not a good one. The Crowne Plaza hotel next door has had to be demolished and the law courts building nearby, also on the riverside, is in doubt. Restoring the land to the point where anyone could have enough confidence in it to justify repairing the building is likely to be a huge task.
The council has projected that the cost of the repair would be $127.5 million. That is, coincidentally, not far off, after adjusting for inflation in construction costs, today's equivalent of the $4m it cost to build it in the early 1970s.
Few people, however, would believe that the repair would end at or even near that figure. Public building projects are notorious for running far above their initial estimates and this one, being more difficult than most, would be almost bound to. The council would also have to persuade insurance companies that a repaired building was sound enough to insure. Premiums would likely be high.
Part of the projected cost would be offset by an insurance payout of $69m. That would leave $58.5m to be found, which the council intends to spread over four years.
There are many who do not believe that, with the council's finances in a far from robust state and heated arguments already occurring with the Government over spending, this would be the wisest use such a lot of ratepayers' money.
There also appears to have been little thought given to how repairing the town hall would fit into the blueprint's plans for a new, grand arts and cultural precinct. A new auditorium, using the latest in computer-aided acoustic design and built to a size more appropriate to Christchurch could be included there to give the city a world-class amenity once more.
Brownlee and the Canterbury Earthquake Recover Authority will be reluctant to over-rule a unanimous decision by the city council, but in this case they could well be justified in doing so. With so much still to be determined, it is certainly a decision that needs to be carefully and coolly reconsidered when all the relevant factors are finally known.

We saw a pair of peregrines a couple of afternoons in a row, hunting and soaring in front of Rainbow Wall. The first afternoon we saw them using perches at the second belay of "Sauron's Eye" and in the tree at Over the Rainbow ledge. They disappeared up-canyon (west) when evening came.
We saw them again the next day while climbing "Bird Hunter Buttress" (gives a new meaning to the route name). In the evening as we were finishing the raps, one landed about 40 feet away on a ledge, and took off with a mouse in its talons! The way it looked back over its shoulder at me and headed away with its mouse reminded me of my cat.
Such great birds - I'm so happy to see them returning to the Rainbow Mountain area year after year. They are one of the reasons I'll keep returning, too.

Will Power drove through changing wet and dry conditions to earn his third straight pole at Surfers Paradise, a popular result in front of a noisy and massive throng of fellow Aussies. Aboard the KV Racing Technology Dallara, Power beat a host of former CART and Champ Car drivers in the first race sanctioned by IndyCar at the seaside circuit.
Power pipped Scott Dixon at the checkers for the Firestone Fast Six on a track that was dry for the first time in the qualifying process. His lap of 1:34.945 (105.977mph) was considerably slower than his pole last year in the Champ Car-sanctioned race when Power clocked 1:30.504 for Team Australia.
The Aussie from nearby Toowoomba became the first to win three straight poles and surpassed two-time pole winners Nigel Mansell, Michael Andretti and Dario Franchitti.
"I've been in this position before," said Power, still looking for a victory here. "We want to get it done on race day."
Power saved his quickest lap for the end of the 10-minute session after cooling his tires for one final run. "I went for a big one. It was pretty messy in the second segment."
New Zealand's Dixon was a distant 0.832 seconds behind Power and fellow Aussie Ryan Briscoe, in third, completed the sweep by South Pacific drivers.
Rain and sunshine meant that getting to the final session was more tricky than getting to the top of the charts in the Firestone Fast Six. Just as the green fell for Group 1, steady rain began to fall as teams left the pits on slicks. Danica Patrick was the first to slide into the wall, breaking her front wing on the out lap as teams still on the pit road switched to rains and all others pitted. "Driving an IndyCar on street course in the rain is incredibly difficult," said Ryan Hunter-Reay, "especially over the curbs."
Hunter-Reay was among those who looped his car -- twice on the north end -- but advanced after setting the quickest lap. The rain stopped in favor of sunshine, but all stayed on Firestone wets. Others who spun over the curbs included Graham Rahal, who failed to advance due to his late slide, getting pipped by Mario Moraes at the checkers as the track dried.
"I had a blast," said Hunter-Reay, who raced here in the rain in 2003. "I wish it had kept raining." He was followed by Alex Tagliani, Vitor Meira, E.J. Viso, Moraes, and Briscoe.
The second group had an easier time with drying conditions that still required Firestone wets. As he would in the Fast Six, Power waited until the last lap to nick the quickest lap, this time from Tony Kanaan as the speeds climbed with all but the two jogs at the north end dry on the 2.7-mile, 12-turn circuit.
Justin Wilson, Scott Dixon, Dario Franchitti and Helio Castroneves also advanced, the latter after a trip down the escape road.
For those who chose wet set-ups, the overcast, cool but drying conditions did not bode well. "We took a chance by making changes for the wet track," said Castroneves, who again found the escape route in Segment 2's opening laps. Power and Franchitti then led those pitting for slicks. The yellow for Moraes that ended with seven minutes to go made advancing dicey as Power dropped from first to fifth as he waited it out on the pit road while making set-up changes in anticipation of a dry track.
Dixon and Castroneves advanced to the top two spots, but it would be a matter of who had the right set-up for the dry, which favored Power, quickest in both sessions Friday. Franchitti and Hunter-Reay joined Briscoe to complete the final Fast Six session.

Squats – you either hate them or you love them! But either way, they are an excellent exercise to tone and build muscle. The major benefits of performing squats include:
- Squats work all major muscle groups
- Squats burn a lot of calories
- Squats tone up your butt and thighs
- Full squats can increase flexibility in the lower body
- Lower back and mid-section become stronger
- Heart and lung power increased
- Muscle is gained
Squats can be performed with or without weights. Form is very important when performing a squat as to avoid injury. There are many myths surrounding squats such as "squats are bad for your knees" or "squats can injure your spine." Well, any exercise can cause damage if it performed improperly. Your best bet is to seek guidance from a professional. If you are capable of doing squats you should definitely incorporate them into your workout.
Out of all the exercises I see people do in the gym, I hardly ever see anyone performing squats. Maybe there is a stereotype that only bodybuilders or powerlifters can do squats. I have been squatting a lot lately since I've been following along with Gilad: Ultimate Body Sculpt Series – Cuts & Curves.
I have already begun to notice my quads becoming firmer and hopefully soon, I will notice my rear end doing the same thing! If you have been overlooking the squat – do so no longer. It is one of the best exercises for all of your major muscle groups.

Saturday brought the kind of fight card Las Vegas is known for, matching two high-profile West Coast college basketball teams.
Unfortunately for the sellout crowd at Orleans Arena, the West Coast Conference tournament semifinal between BYU and Gonzaga was an early-round knockout, with the Bulldogs (25-5) sprinting to an early double-digit lead and never letting BYU (25-8) draw closer than 10 points the rest of the way.
The final score: Gonzaga 77, BYU 58. The Bulldogs will face St. Mary's, which defeated San Francisco in the other semifinal.
Gonzaga Coach Mark Few joked afterward that his players had extra motivation to reach Monday's championship game (6 p.m., ESPN): Mandalay Bay's wave pool open's Monday. "I was under a lot of pressure from my kids," Few said.
The game featured a Jimmeresque performance, but unfortunately for the Cougars, it was by Bulldog freshman guard Kevin Pangos, who led all scorers with 30 points on 10 of 17 shooting, including five from long range.
"A lot of it was my fault. A lot of it was my assignment," BYU's Charles Abouo said of Pangos.
It was the teams' fourth meeting in less than a year, with the Bulldogs evening the series over that stretch.
Gonzaga, which BYU knocked out of last year's NCAA Tournament, has established itself as an elite program with 11 consecutive conference championships, a streak that ended this season, and 13 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.
BYU is one of only two teams to win 25 or more games each of the past six seasons — the other is Kansas.
But BYU, which was coming off a close victory over San Diego the night before, didn't shoot the ball well — 17 percent from long range, 63 percent from the free-throw line and 38 percent overall. Center Brandon Davies led BYU scorers with 17 points.
"We had a hard time scoring to start the game," BYU coach Dave Rose said afterward.
BYU's leading scorer, Noah Hartsock, who helped seal the victory over San Diego, appeared bothered by a knee injury. He had 12 points.
The Bulldogs came into the game looking like they owned the Orleans Arena, which they largely have over the past decade, reaching the title game in each of the past 15 years and winning the WCC Tournament seven of the past 10. The Bulldogs made 47 percent of their three-point shots, 63 percent of their free throws and 55 percent of their shots overall.
BYU, which last year joined the WCC for all sports but football, has always drawn well in Las Vegas, a sort-of second home for Cougar teams during their time in the Mountain West and Western Athletic conferences. But the Bulldog contingent Saturday night was definitely bigger and had much more to cheer about.
While Gonzaga is a lock for the NCAA Tournament, BYU is considered by many to be on the bubble. Rose appeared to get a jump on lobbying for the Cougars, following the game.
"This team deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament. Period," Rose said.
The Orleans Arena, a Boyd Gaming facility located just west of the Las Vegas Strip, is one of the nation's leading mid-sized arenas, and was recently ranked No. 1 in the United States and No. 5 internationally among venues of similar size by Venues Today Magazine.
The Arena hosts more than 200 events each year, including concerts by top names like Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, Van Halen, Brooks & Dunn, Black Eyed Peas, Akon and Rihanna; family favorites like The Harlem Globetrotters and Circus Spectacular; and a wide variety of sporting events, including NCAA basketball tournaments, the West Coast Conference and Western Athletic Conference Basketball Championships, mixed martial arts with Superior Cage Combat, and major motorsports events.
The arena serves as home to the Las Vegas Wranglers professional ECHL hockey team, the Las Vegas Legends professional indoor soccer team, and the Lingerie Football League's Las Vegas Sin. Stay connected to the Orleans Arena on Facebook (www.facebook.com/orleansarena) and on Twitter (@orleansarena).

Hi everyone, I'm Bernadette from Rants From My Crazy Kitchen, and I'm happy to be guest posting for Cindy again! Some of you may remember a few months back I shared a Slow Cooker Spicy Lasagna with Cindy and her readers. If you don't know me, I'm a stay at home mom to a 4 year old girl, and I love to cook and share what I make. I mostly blog what I make for dinner, with the occasional appetizer or dessert. I don't do a lot of baking, but last week I did a bunch of it for a Christmas Week series of posts I participated in with a group of bloggers, and today I'm sharing one of the recipes I made with you!
Cindy and I both participate in the Crazy Ingredient Challenge, and last month the challenge was onions and gingerbread spice. I made up a whole container of the gingerbread spice for that, and so I had a lot leftover and decided to make Gingerbread Sugar Cookies for Christmas. I used holiday themed cookie cutter and colored sugar to decorate them, and they came out very good, an exact cross of a sugar cookie and a gingerbread man!
Gingerbread Sugar Cookies
adapted from foodnetwork.com Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup white sugar
- 4 teaspoons Gingerbread Spice Mixture
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- colored sugar
- In a small bowl lightly beat the two eggs with the vanilla.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg mixture. In another bowl combine the flour, gingerbread spice mixture, baking powder, and salt, stir well. Add flour mixture, one cup at a time to the butter mixture, continuing to beat until a smooth dough forms. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 3-6 hours. Remove from refrigerator at least ½ hour before continuing.
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Roll out on a large surface dusted lightly with powdered sugar to about ⅛th inch. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters and sprinkle with colored sugar. Place on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 7-10 minutes depending on the size and thickness of the cookies, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cookie comes out clean. Remove cookies to a rack or clean counter top to cool completely.
Notes: Can be frozen by placing between layers of plastic wrap in a freezer safe container.
I can't promise desserts all the time, but if you would like to see more from me, I would love it if you would join me at Rants From My Crazy Kitchen and My Crazy Kitchen on Facebook.

If dealing with a snapshot version (if moving from or to), then don't forget that within the pom.xml files, the format of the version is <major>.<minor>.<point>-SNAPSHOT. Whereas when dealing with non-snapshot releases, the format is <major>.<minor>.<point>.<tag>.
The value of the tag will dependent upon the nature of the release. The Scribble project uses the following conventions:
- <date>-M? - milestone, where ? represents a numerical value. The reason for the date prefix is to ensure that it is lexically in the correct order in respect of the other tags that come later in the cycle.
- CR? - candidate release, where ? represents a numerical value.
- Final - final release.
The other location where version information is defined is within the OSGi bundle and Eclipse plugin MANIFEST.MF files.
For the OSGi bundles, the MANIFEST.MF bundle version should be <major>.<minor>.<point>-SNAPSHOT or the release version as above.
For the Eclipse plugins, the MANIFEST.MF bundle version should be <major>.<minor>.<point>.qualifier or the release version as above. If the release version is not set, then maven/tycho will complain when building the release, that the qualifier based version does not match the version being used in the pom.xml.

Climbing the Mango Trees: A Memoir of a Childhood in India
The celebrated actress and author of several books on Indian cooking turns her attention to her own childhood in Delhi and Kampur. Born in 1933 as one of six children of a prosperous businessman, Jaffrey grew up as part of a huge "joint family" of aunts, uncles and cousins—often 40 at dinner—under the benign but strict thumb of Babaji, her grandfather and imperious family patriarch. It was a privileged and cosmopolitan family, influenced by Hindu, Muslim and British traditions, and though these were not easy years in India, a British ally in WWII and soon to go though the agony of partition (the separation and formation of Muslim Pakistan), Jaffrey's graceful prose and sure powers of description paint a vivid landscape of an almost enchanted childhood. Her family and friends, the bittersweet sorrows of puberty, the sensual sounds and smells of the monsoon rain, all are remembered with love and care, but nowhere is her writing more evocative than when she details the food of her childhood, which she does often and at length. Upon finishing this splendid memoir, the reader will delight in the 30 "family-style" recipes included as lagniappe at the end. Photos. (Oct. 11)

Breakdown of the Stars FTP deal for US players
On Tuesday the poker world received the news it had been patiently awaiting when PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and the US Department of Justice announced they had come to terms on a deal that would see Full Tilt Poker forfeit its assets to the DOJ who in turn sold them to PokerStars, at the same time dismissing the civil forfeiture claims and money laundering claims filed against both PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker. What wasn't quite as clear was how this settlement would affect US players, which we intend to cover in this article.
According to the Press Release issued by the US Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York: "Under the terms of the settlement with Full Tilt, U.S. victims of the company's alleged fraud will be able to seek compensation from the Department of Justice ("DOJ"). The funds that will be used to compensate qualifying victims will come from the $547 million that will be forfeited by PokerStars as part of its settlement with the Government."
Payouts for US Players
What this means is that while non-US players are recouping their funds and given the opportunity to once again play at Full Tilt Poker where laws permit the site to operate, US players will likely be waiting for a check from the department of Justice, along with having to submit all their personal details which may very well end up in the hands of the IRS. Precisely how long US players will have to wait, and what types of hoops they will have to jump through to reclaim their funds has yet to be determined –hopefully this information will become available when PokerStars makes the necessary $225 million payment to the DOJ within the next six days.
According to Russ Fox at taxabletalk.com players in the US should expect payments by Christmas time, while the rest of the world will be paid by early November at the latest. Fox went on to describe the remission process for US players:
"If you are within the United States, you will be repaid by the Department of Justice (the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York). You will have to apply through remission with the DOJ to be repaid. I assume (but am not certain) that the FTP site or client will be reopened so that US players can look to see what their balances were. A fund of $150 million will be set up for the repayment. The exact process will likely be revealed in the press release to come from the DOJ, but here is a sample remission petition (Hat Tip: Taxdood)"
FTP Points
Since the deal makes no mention of PokerStars reimbursing players for their Frequent Player Points on Full Tilt Poker it's unlikely the Department of Justice will compensate US players for these balances (according to poker blogger DiamondFlush PokerStars has stated they will in fact compensate players for their FTP balances even though they are not required to do so per the DOJ deal).
From the looks of it, US players will only be compensated for their account balances.
US Legislation
As part of the agreement both PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker will be able to reenter the US market in locales where the law permits online gaming. This allows PokerStars to apply for two separate licenses in Nevada, although they would have to partner with an existing Brick & Mortar casino operating in Nevada to get on the initial short-list.
Currently both poker rooms will still be barred from operating in the US.

Well, well, well. Just when you thought you'd finally seen the last of us, here we go rearing our ugly head again. The nap was good, thanks for asking. Ah, we just thought we'd change the frequency of Good Citizen from "quarterly" to "sporadically." Hey! It's only been fifteen months, get off our backs, will ya? I think it will have been worth the wait. If I do say so myself. And I just did.
So what happened to us? Where did we go and what adventures did we have? Nosy little buggers, aren't you? But, since you asked, we wrote a lot of new music and we made a few albums and now we're itching to get back to the action. Things look a little sleepy around here, so we're going to wake you up a little, okay?
We are going to kick 1998 into gear with a flurry of activity that will make your silly little heads spin. The magazine that you hold in your hands is the first step. Good Citizen #6. Hope you like it. There are a whole bunch more coming, we almost guarantee it. And to make the magazine even more exciting, we're putting the whole damn thing on-line at the Big Heavy World web site. And to make sure that you're going to go check it out, we're putting the whole Matthew Thorsen-Craig Mitchell photo shoot on line. The whole thing. Yeah, you heard right. The whole thing. It's at www.bigheavyworld.com.
Next up is a compact disc compilation called Good Citizen Soundtrack to the Zine Volume Three. Damn original, huh? Fifteen original rock bands from the Burlington area. The disc will include brand-spankin' new tracks from Invisible Jet, Lindy Pear, DysFunk-Shun, Chin Ho!, Drowningman, Last Ones Standing, Joshe Henry, (sic), Somah, Non Compos Mentis and Aaron Flinn's Salad Days. And we'll have new album tracks from Zola Turn, D.Jarvis Band, Spill and Cranial Perch. All in all, over fifty-five minutes of new music from the Queen City. To celebrate the release of the CD, guess what we're gonna do? Throw a party! Shocker, huh? Club Toast is the place and December 26th is the date. It's a Friday night. The show is All Ages and it's five bucks to get in. Put it on your calendars now. We don't know how many of those bands are playing yet, but there will be a bunch of them. And since we haven't had a Good Citizen party in over a year and a half, we have a few surprises up our sleeves. Doors open at 9 p.m. Club Toast. 165 Church Street, Burlington Vermont. Go write it down, I'll wait. Go ahead.
Okay, what else? How about a 24 hour local music television marathon? Since we took a year off, our friend Karen McGregor thought of a great way to kick 1998 in the head right away. She has been filming bands around these parts since the 1989 Vermont Reggae Fest, and we've done a bunch of Good Citizen Video Hour television programs with her, so she has some great footage of our local musicians getting it on all over town. If you're in the Burlington area, we've got a very special treat for you. Starting at 9:30 p.m. on December 31, 1997 and running straight through 9:30 p.m. on January 1, 1998, we'll be hosting a 24 hour local music video marathon on Adelphia Channel 15. We're stealing the name of one of Karen's live music programs and calling the whole she-bang Uncut 24. Brought to you by Azure Moon Productions and your pals at Good Citizen, you can expect some fine footage shot on local stages over the last nine years. Classic reggae, folk, jazz, hip-hop, soul, punk rawk, hardcore. Y'know, the usual. Everything.
The next issue of this magazine will be in late February. As always, we need your help. The mission of Good Citizen has been to promote and support Vermont music by getting everyone involved. We've always figured that the more people, the bigger party. We mean it, too. We want your pictures, your articles, your music. Did you know that budding blues talent Seth Yacovone, who is the subject of a feature article in this issue, once wrote a review of one of his favorite local bands, a group called Mr. Dooley, and he just sent it to us. He was fifteen and he wanted to share the music he loved with other people, so he wrote a review. We ran it. That's how easy it is. Can't guarantee we'll run everything we get, but we'll try. If you're not a writer yourself, tell us what you'd like us to write about and we'll try to get on it. That's how easy it is. Send your stuff to Good Citizen at PO Box 5373 Burlington Vermont 05402. And you'll see just how easy we are.
Be A Good Citizen,
Andrew Smith

Vertebroplasty is considered one of the alternatives for the treating of spine compression fracture associated with pain especially for those patients with osteoporosis. However, after vertebroplasty, the compliance of the bone becomes stronger than the adjacent vertebrae that is not treated. So there is always a consideration of future fracture of the adjacent vertebral bodies after vertebroplasty done on certain body. In this study, we try to follow the patients (5 years) to see if the adjacent vertebral bodies are prone to have fracture than the others away from the site of vertebroplasty.Then we try to find out the image biomarkers to predict the future fracture in the vertebral bodies. The should be done with CT scan raw data, analysis with different algorithms.
Inclusion criteria; patients with osteoporosis and receiving vertebroplasty and with secondary fracture occurring in other spine exclusion criteria: No second vertebral body fracture occurred. Primary measurement: the time and location of the 2nd fracture secondary measurement: the imaging biomarkers from CT scan.
