Cougs aim for first Pac-10 win at UCLA
Published 10:00 pm, Friday, October 3, 2008
PASADENA, Calif. -- Coach Paul Wulff wants Washington State fans to know that he feels their pain. After all, when the Cougars play as poorly as they have this season, no one is closer to the scene of the crime than Wulff.
"If you're a fan of Washington State, who likes to watch that?" Wulff asked. "As a coach, I don't either."
WSU's best chance to date for a Pac-10 win comes up Saturday in the Rose Bowl. The stadium, mind you, not the game.
The Cougars (1-4, 0-2 Pac-10) and Bruins (1-3, 0-1) share many similarities. Both teams are rebuilding under new coaching staffs. Inexperience, injuries, turnovers and shaky line play have been key factors for both teams.
"We certainly are not in a place to be overlooking anybody," UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said. "Washington State may be looking at us as, 'Finally we get somebody that we can handle.' "
"I think the kids probably believe they can beat 'em," Wulff said. "They should. I think if we have enough competitors, we can do that.
"The thing about this team, and I said it at the beginning of the season: Our team wasn't going to be as good as it could be early on, and it was going to be a season of improvements that we need to make.
"We've played five games. We've had three different starting quarterbacks. We haven't had an offensive line (with the same starters consistently). We've had some kids out on defense.
"We're not a very deep team to begin with, then we've had a lot of issues on top of it. All the combinations kind of went against us. I do believe we can take a step this week."
That step might be straight into the toilet if the Cougars can't reduce turnovers (they're next-to-last in the country with 18) and mount something remotely resembling a defense. WSU's two Pac-10 opponents have averaged 64.5 points -- yes, 64.5 -- and 506 total yards, including 368.5 on the ground.
Asked what the Cougars need to do to shore up the defense, Wulff blurted, "Play a lot better. We've got to find ways to stop people, whether it's run or pass."
Like WSU, the Bruins are down to their third-string quarterback because of injuries, and points and yards have not come easily. Talented tailback Kahlil Bell, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last year at Washington State, pumped some life into UCLA's offense when he returned from an ankle injury last week and rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns against Fresno State.
Bell has occasionally tussled with teammates at practice, and Neuheisel said, "He's such a competitive guy. He's always on that fine line of so competitive that he can almost go overboard, if there is such a thing.
Neuheisel added, "I don't think he's 100 percent yet. But he's close enough. ... He's like that Monty Python guy that says with his arm cut off: 'Flesh wound.' "
Wulff has occasionally questioned the grit of his players but said he's encouraged by their hard work and determination of late.
"I think because of this coaching staff and how hard they work and how positive they are and the system we have in place, we're going to make some gains here in this program quick," he said. "I have a ton of confidence."

Fox Planing 'Dark Knight' Prequel Television Series Titled 'Gotham'
With Marvel coming out with all of these television series, the guys at DC Comics are being left out. Time to bring in the face of DC comics, and in my opinion, the one, the only Batman.
From what I have found on the 'Gotham' television series, it sounds like Batman's version of the show 'Smallville.' 'Smallville' told the story of a teenage Superman and that is what Gotham aims to do with Batman. A 12-year-old Bruce Wayne will be one of "Gotham's" main characters, chairman Kevin Reilly told critics at Fox's winter press tour today, along with younger versions of classic "Batman" villains such as The Joker, The Penguin, The Riddler, and Catwoman.
"This is an origin story," Reilly said, describing it as "an operatic soap that has a slightly larger-than-life quality to it" set in a "Gotham teetering on the edge." Reilly would go on to promise the final scene of the last episode will have Batman putting on his cape.
I am a huge Batman fan and I can promise that I will be checking this one out.

GRAND-AM Recognizes Top Rolex Series Drivers And Teams With Rolex Series Champions Awards Presented By SunTrust
Ganassi, AIM Autosport Big Winners At Gotham Hall In New York
NEW YORK (Oct. 1, 2012) – GRAND-AM Road Racing basked in the bright lights of Broadway in Monday evening's Rolex Champion Awards presented by SunTrust at Gotham Hall in downtown Manhattan.
Winning top honors with their third consecutive Daytona Prototype championship were drivers Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas with TELMEX Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. AIM Autosport Team FXDD with Ferrari celebrated the first championship for the Ferrari 458 Italia in GRAND-AM competition, with drivers Jeff Segal and Emil Assentato winning the GT title.
"Racing and winning never get old – even though I do," said the 52-year-old Pruett, who earned his 11th championship dating back to 1986. "They say that with adversity comes strength. We had our share of adversity this year, and I believe it made our team even stronger and closer." While celebrating the many accomplishments of the past season, the banquet had a forwardlooking tone following the recent merger of GRAND-AM and the American Le Mans Series – which will run as a single entity beginning in 2014.
"We've come a long way since GRAND-AM was first announced here in New York City in 1999," said sanctioning body founder Jim France. "The strides we're making have gotten stronger and faster with each passing year. I would like to propose a toast to the future of North American sports car racing."Scott Atherton, president and CEO of the American Le Mans Series, presented honors to the top Pro-Am drivers in the respective classes. Alex Popow – winner of GRAND-AM's inaugural race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in July for Starworks Motorsport – won the Jim Trueman Award as top Pro-Am driver in the Daytona Prototype class, while Assentato won the Bob Akin Award in GT.
Jim Campbell, Chevrolet U.S. Vice President of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports, accepted the DP manufacturer championship. Ferrari North America President Marco Mattiaci accepted the GT manufacturer championship for Ferrari. Bill Riley received the DP constructor award on behalf of Riley Technologies for the ninth consecutive year.
Also recognized throughout the evening included the Monticello Motor Club Rookie of the Year award, Dr. Jim Norman; TOTAL Performance Specialties Pole Award given to the top pole winners in the DP (Jon Fogarty) and GT (John Edwards) classes; Ricky Taylor and Max Angelelli won the SunTrust Improve Your Position Award in DP with Segal and Assentato winning the award in GT; and Starworks Motorsport won the Sunoco Fuel 5000 accolade for having the most combined entries in 2012 competition.
Daytona International Speedway president Joie Chitwood III, Watkins Glen International president Michael Printup and Indianapolis Motor Speedway vice president of operations Mel Harder came on stage to discuss the inaugural first season and the exciting possibilities ahead.
SPEED's Leigh Diffey was the master of ceremonies with musical entertainment was provided by singer/songwriter Edwin McCain. Brian Williams from NBC Nightly News welcomed guests with a special video.
The 2013 Rolex Series season will open in January with the 51st running of the Rolex 24 At Daytona.

The other healthcare case with constitutional implications
Another Medicaid case this term also involves constitutional challenges — Douglas v. Independent Living Center of Southern California. That certiorari was granted is notable unto itself, as no circuit split existed, the Acting Solicitor General had recommended that the Court deny the petition, and the Court does not seem to relish hearing healthcare cases. The conflict in Douglas is whether California violated the Medicaid Act by enacting 10% reimbursement rate reductions, but this is not the question before the Court. The Court will consider whether the plaintiffs (a group of Medicaid providers and enrollees) may privately enforce the Medicaid Act against the state by claiming the state has violated the Supremacy Clause. Depending upon the timing of the opinion, Douglas may give us hints as to how the Court will decide Florida v. HHS, even though the United States has taken notably different positions in the two cases (about which I have written more here.)
Medicaid was intended to mainstream the poor into American medicine. The Medicaid Act thus informs states that they must pay healthcare providers "sufficient[ly]" to ensure the same access to medicine for Medicaid enrollees as others in the geographic region enjoy. This "Equal Access" provision is a pillar of Medicaid, and it has been a source of litigation against states that pay providers too little. In fact, before Gonzaga, lower federal courts were in agreement that the Equal Access provision was enforceable via section 1983. Through this litigation, the circuits developed varying methods for deciding sufficiency of payment, as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has not enforced the Equal Access provision vigorously against the states. Despite the lack of agency action, "sufficiency" is key to Medicaid's success; if states do not pay enough for the medical services they buy, Medicaid enrollees will be forced into substandard care or will not be able to find caregivers at all, and the program would be undermined. Due to Gonzaga, and because CMS infamously does not monitor the states, Medicaid providers and enrollees have sought to enjoin states from violating the Medicaid Act under the Supremacy Clause.
California argued that the Medicaid Act does not include private actions, thus the plaintiffs could not seek an injunction because the statute fails to meet the "unambiguous conditions" element of the Dole test for conditional spending. This argument speaks to clear statement advocates on the Court (such as Justices Alito, Scalia, and Thomas), because it claims that states do not have clear notice of Medicaid enforcement actions in federal court. To the surprise of many, the United States' amicus brief not only supported California but also urged that no private right of action exists for beneficiaries of federal spending programs (generally) to enforce federal standards against states. The Acting Solicitor General's brief thus took a much bolder position than was expected. Remarkably, members of Congress and ex-administrators of the Department of Health and Human Services strongly disagreed with the SG's position. In fact, the ex-administrators, which represent both sides of the aisle, insist that CMS relies heavily on private enforcement to police the states.
Douglas may lead the Court to articulate a default rule that ends implied private rights of action under the Supremacy Clause, but Medicaid is a flawed vehicle for such a sweeping, federalism-based decision. [More after the jump.]
One reason is that CMS has no monetary incentive to enforce the Equal Access provision; the more a state pays its Medicaid providers, the more the federal government is obliged to match with general revenue funding. Thus, CMS saves money by allowing the states to underpay Medicaid providers in violation of the Equal Access provision, and draft regulations intended to shore up the Equal Access provision do not address this perverse incentive. So, waiting for CMS to act, as the United States has urged, is futile, and states would be free from enforcement, public or private, judicial or executive.
Douglas highlights some inconsistencies in the Rehnquist Court's 'federalism revolution.' Even as it revitalized judicial enforcement of the Tenth Amendment in cases such as New York and Printz, the Court treated spending as an exception by stating that the federal government could basically buy state cooperation without running afoul of the Tenth Amendment. On the other hand, the Rehnquist Court shored up state sovereign immunity through expansive Eleventh Amendment decisions and through limiting implied rights of action, which in combination partially closed the courthouse doors to beneficiaries of federal spending programs. Douglas gives the Roberts Court a chance to consider directly some formerly peripheral thoughts regarding limiting access to federal courts when the law at issue is an exercise of conditional spending power.
This leads to another reason Douglas is the wrong vehicle and should be decided narrowly. In asking the Court to create a severe limitation on Supremacy Clause rights of action in conditional spending schemes, the United States' brief articulated great deference toward the states in the Medicaid program, especially for their decisions regarding provider payment. But the U.S. has taken a diametically opposed position in the Florida v. HHS litigation, in which the power to spend has been articulated very broadly in defense of the mandatory Medicaid expansion. But, if the Court were to adopt the Solicitor General's position in Douglas, then the Medicaid expansion could be eviscerated. Here's how: if the states do not pay Medicaid providers sufficiently, then the 16 million new Medicaid enrollees will have a very difficult time finding anyone to treat them. PPACA did not add private rights of action to Medicaid, and it did not give CMS new enforcment mechanisms (money, regulatory authority, people power). So, states could resist the expansion by underpaying Medicaid providers, and Douglas would make it so that no recourse exists (unless Congress acts, which is what the Court is trying to effectuate through clear statement rules). Further, if the Court decides Douglas broadly, it may signal a willingness to decide both aspects of the Medicaid coercion question broadly, i.e., to expand the coercion doctrine and strike down the expansion itself. (I know, I predicted a different outcome in my first post on Florida v. HHS….)
It is possible the Court will postpone deciding Douglas until it has heard the Medicaid coercion arguments on March 28th or even until it has decided Florida v. HHS. Whenever Douglas is decided, the United States has taken a state-deferential position in the case that is at odds with the broad articulation of the spending power in defending the Medicaid expansion.

If you're about to buy a new small car, new front-end crash test results might help you sort out the choices.

If you're about to buy a new small car, new front-end crash test results might help you sort out the choices.
Some popular, small cars scored poorly in the new, tougher accident test conducted by t
he Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The test simulates what happens when a car hits a fixed object, like a tree or telephone poll, at 40 mph.
The two-door and four-door versions of the Honda Civic were the only models that earned the top rating of "good." The Ford Focus, Hyundai Elantra, Dodge Dart, and the Scion TC received "acceptable" ratings.
Among the vehicles that failed to pass the test were the Volkswagen Beetle and the Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic, the Nissan Sentra and the Kia Soul and Forte.
Institute Chief Research Officer David Zuby said their tests showed higher chances of significant injuries, "We see high forces in the legs that would be indicative of serious leg injuries ... in at least one case, we've got moderately high forces on the head, as a result of the head missing the air bag."
The Toyota Corolla wasn't tested because the automaker will be releasing a re-designed Corolla later this month.
Check here for a link to the IIHS test results.

Plant City Police Department needs a $200,000 roof
PLANT CITY - The police department's roof will need replacing soon, at an estimated cost of $200,000. The roof is leaking, forcing police employees to break out buckets to catch the drips. The roof dates back to the building's construction in 1997 and is at the end of its expected life, City Manager Greg Horwedel said. "Fifteen years in the Florida sun will do it to any roof," Horwedel said. The city will hire a contractor to replace the roof this fall. He estimates the city will have to spend about $200,000 on a new roof for the 67,000-square-foot building at One Police Place.The building and a nearby 40,000-square-foot building were originally part of a 16-acre used-vehicle reconditioning center operated off Alexander Street by AutoNation. The car dealership chain closed the plant in 1999 after a little more than a year of operation. The city bought the property for $3 million in 2003 and spent about $6 million renovating the two buildings: the bigger one for the police department and the smaller one for the city's vehicle maintenance division. The smaller building had portions of its roof replaced following a severe storm a couple of years ago and does not need a new roof.

Lance Cade's Death, WWE's Rating Policy, and Summerslam Predictions
by, 08-14-2010 at 03:19 PM (2299 Views)
We've seeing news about everything and about everyone in wrestling, and just we think at our own way, and I'll write my way.
About Lance Cade's death: It's just a bit weird to talk about him, because I never saw him fighting, only one time against DX in 2006, in the DX DVD Pack. So I'll pass this thread.
About WWE's PG Policy: I think WWE has to change, I see people talking about WWE vs TNA, and most of Internet viewers, they perfer TNA instead of WWE, and why? WWE is limited by storylines, they can't use his fist, they can't use weapons, basicly, WWE turned into a WES (World Entertainment Show), only PPV's have the Big fights, TV shows are what? These shows are just to perform a storyline, and that isn't good to a Wrestling Company.
I see fights on Raw, and every match, they follow a way to end matches, like Cena, Cena has to perform 3 moves to perform AA, like The Undertaker uses his Tombstone Pelidriver just after his taunt. Like Shawn Michaels, he started the end of the match with an Atomic Drop, a Shoulder Clothesline, body slam, and the SCM.
About MY SummerSlam predictions:
WWE Champion Sheamus vs. Randy Orton
My prediction is in favour of Sheamus, and why? Randy Orton has the momentum and almost, who has the momentum loses. Sheamus is at one kick on the head away of a new defense. Like Randy is at one RKO away of another championship reign.
World Heavyweight Champion Kane vs. Rey Mysterio
Kane, and why? Kane is sheduled to be the attacker of The Undertaker fight. So, when the lights turns off, The Undertaker will just Choke Slam Kane on the mat and referee will call the bell to a disqualification. But a new way is Kane picking a clean win, and just after The Undertaker attacks Kane.
Team WWE vs. The Nexus (Elimination Tag Team Match)
I think it will be a victory to Team WWE. Team WWE can't coexist but Cena will be surviver.

Premier League: Arsenal hit back, Reds on top
A Samir Nasri double helped Arsenal to a thrilling 2-1 win over Premier League rivals Manchester United at the Emirates.
Nasri struck first in the 28th minute when he struck a low shot goalwards after Dimitar Berbatov failed to clear an Arsenal corner. The Frenchman's shot took a deflection off Gary Neville's outstretched leg inside the box and flew past Edwin van der Sar in the United net.
Arsenal scored a beautifully sculpted second when Fabregas slipped a ball inside for Nasri who lashed his shot into the top corner from the edge of the area.
United dominated the remainder of the second half but had to wait until two minutes from time to pull one back through Rafael da Silva's first goal for the club.
United searched for an equaliser in the six minutes of added time but Arsenal held on to claim the win which sees them leapfrog United into third in the table.
Two goals from new signing Robbie Keane and a late strike from defender Alvaro Arbeloa were enough to put Liverpool back on top of the Premier League on Saturday night.
The Reds beat West Brom 3-0 at Anfield with Irish striker Keane netting his first, and second, League goals for the club. Keane opened his account with a neat chip over the onrushing Scott Carson, while his second saw him take the ball around the Baggies' keeper to slid home into an empty net. Arbeloa then sealed the points with a fine late strike.
More good news for Rafa Benitez's men came in the fact that Fernando Torres made his return from injury as a late substitute.
Wigan could not make their dominance count at the JJB where they played out a goalless draw against Stoke.
The visitors had goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen to thank for keeping them in the match after he pulled off a series of fine saves to secure another valuable point for the Premier League newcomers which moves them up to ninth in the table.
Sorensen pulled off late saves to deny both Amr Zaki and Antonio Valencia and also got down well to gather an effort from Emile Heskey, who hobbled off injured in the second half.
Portsmouth snatched a late win at the Stadium of Light thanks to a Jermaine Defoe penalty. Defoe converted in the 90th minute to break Sunderland hearts.
Djibril Cisse had put the hosts in front latching on to an Andy Reid through ball and coolly slotted through David James' legs with just four minutes on the clock.
But Nadir Belhadj equalised for Tony Adams' side in the second half. The Algerian collected Nico Kranjcar's pass and blasted a curling low shot past Fulop and into the bottom corner.
Matthew Taylor gave Bolton a 1-0 win at the KC Stadium against Hull - the Tigers' third straight defeat. Taylor struck a crisp half volley from the edge of the area after a corner that crept inside Myhill's right-hand post.
It was all hands to the pump for the Trotters after that as Hull pressed, Jussi Jaaskelainen pulling of a string of saves to deny the home side.
Substitute Jack Collison thought he had given West Ham all three points against Everton after curling a superb shot into the top corner with just half an hour to go.
But West Ham crumbled as soon as Joleon Lescott equalised with eight minutes left, and Louis Saha notched a brace in the space of six minutes to give them a 3-1 win.

Comment | The international accounting standards-setters tentative reversal of a late change to a new hedging standard has opened a window on an arcane tussle between standards setters and companies on what should happen and what does happen in the real world.
Ultimately its an argument over whether accounting rules should lead or reflect corporate actions.
In September last year, the International Accounting Standards Board added a clause to the all-but-finalised standard to clarify how basis spreads are accounted for in so-called "hypothetical derivatives".
It said changes in the value of basis spreads should be recorded in the P&L as this cost did not exist in the item actually being hedged. The IASB thinks hypothetical derivatives should mirror the item being hedged, whereas companies think of them as the perfect hedge to measure how the actual hedge they use is deficient.
After an outcry, on January 29 the IASB "tentatively" agreed to class so-called basis spreads as a "cost of hedging" and allow movements in its value to be recorded in the reserve or other comprehensive income account.
This is consistent with its decisions over the time value of options and forward "points" on forward exchange contracts. These are also costs associated with derivatives that have become more volatile since the financial crisis.
The IASB's agreement to allow this followed concerted lobbying and is one of the chief reasons many corporates will be early adopters of the standard this year.
One expert who has been watching the changes closely says the capitulation on basis spreads is similar to that on time value and forward points.
"Option time value is not inherent in the hedged item," he says. "[If a company] wishes to enter into a currency option to hedge the currency risk on receivables, the option will have time value, but the receivable doesn't. So when you revalue the receivable and when you revalue the option, you will have a discrepancy between the two fair values."
The difference would have been recorded in the P&L under the IASB's preferred plan. "With IFRS 9 they said 'OK, we still hold the view, as we have done previously, that the hedged item doesn't contain time value, but we will let you hedge account for time value because we are such nice guys!' "
Having allowed the changes on time value and forward points, sticking to principles on basis spreads was a difficult argument.
He also says it doesn't make much sense in the real world to not allow the hypothetical derivative to include a basis spread calculation as this has to be taken into account in reality as it is a real cost now, even if it is not part of the actual hedged item.
Since forward contracts and cross-currency basis swaps can be used to do the same thing, the inconsistency would allow "accounting arbitrage".

According to the World Health Organization and others, only adolescent and adult patients must consent; parents can sign off for infants and children.
In Parts of Africa, H.I.V. Complicates the Question
Emmanuel Njeuhmeli is a senior biomedical prevention adviser to the United States Agency for International Development and co-chairman of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Male Circumcision Technical Working Group.
July 10, 2012
The World Health Organization and U.N. AIDS recognize voluntary circumcision as an important H.I.V. prevention intervention in communities where H.I.V. is common and male circumcision is not. This includes many nations in East Africa and southern Africa, where the ministries of health follow the guidelines of WHO and U.N. AIDS to ensure that voluntary circumcision programs fully inform clients about the risks and benefits, and that those clients are fully capable of providing documented, informed consent before the procedure. The ministries of health adhere to this policy to avoid any possibility that men might feel pressured or coerced to undergo circumcision against their will.
The position of the World Health Organization and other normative bodies, as well as the ministries of health, is that parents have the right to provide consent for circumcision on behalf of their infants and minor children, just as they have the right to consent to other preventive services like immunization. Voluntary circumcision for adolescents requires both consent from the parent or guardian and from the adolescent himself.
An estimated two-thirds of African men are already circumcised for cultural or religious reasons. Circumcision is a very ancient practice, documented as far back as ancient Egypt. Many Bantu ethnic groups practice circumcision as a rite of passage to adulthood, and most West African ethnic groups practice infant circumcision. Parents and local communities continue to circumcise their sons in settings where traditional circumcision is widely practiced.
In part because circumcision provides some protection against H.I.V., it is the non-circumcising communities in southern Africa and parts of East Africa that have the highest H.I.V. prevalence. In these regions, the self-reported prevalence of traditional male circumcision varies greatly, from 20 percent in Uganda and southern African countries to more than 80 percent in Kenya. Public health advocates may find many of these communities receptive to circumcision; some ethnic groups have a long history of circumcising young men as they are initiated into adulthood and abandoned the practice only relatively recently, during the colonial period.

--Brown is the only man to coach teams to the NCAA Championship - Kansas in 1988 - and the NBA Championship - Detroit in 2004.
--When Phog Allen's 1952 team won the NCAA title, Allen was 66 years old. That was the oldest age for the head coach of a championship team until Jim Calhoun (68) of Connecticut won last year. Allen became the fourth coach to win the NCAA National Championship at his alma mater, a feat that has been accomplished 14 times.
--Adonis Jordan's 5-of-7 three-point shooting performance in the 1993 national semifinal game against North Carolina is tied for the second highest percentage ever in an NCAA Final Four game. Donald Williams of UNC accomplished the feat twice, both times in 1993. In 2011, Butler's Shelvin Mack went 5-for-6 (83.3 percent) to break the record.
--Kansas won the NCAA Tournament in 1988 as a No. 6 seed. Only one team has won the tournament with a lower seed - Villanova in 1985 as an eighth seed. Jim Valvano's 1983 N.C. State team also won the tournament as a No. 6 seed. In the 1990s, the lowest seed to win the tournament was the 1997 Arizona team, which captured the title as a No. 4 seed. The Wildcats upset Kansas, the top seed, in the Sweet 16.
KU is the Cradle of Tournament Coaching Legends
Eight head coaches who have advanced to the NCAA Tournament have graduated from the University of Kansas. In fact, the 122 combined NCAA Tournament wins by those men are easily the most by graduates of any one school: Phog Allen (KU 1906, 10-3), Tim Carter (KU, 1979, 0-2), Frosty Cox (KU 1930, 2-4), Dick Harp (KU 1940, 4-2), Ralph Miller (KU 1942, 5-11), Adolph Rupp (KU 1922, 30-18), Dean Smith (KU 1953, 65-27), Mark Turgeon (KU 1987, 5-5) and Tad Boyle (KU 1985, 1-1).
Kansas Wins March Awards
Prior to the 2012 NCAA Tournament Kansas already earned a couple of national titles in March. On March 14, the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) and the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced KU the winner of the inaugural Naismith Student Section of the Year Award. The title comes with a $5,000 cash award, which Kansas Athletics will direct to the university's general scholarship fund. A formal presentation of the award will take place at a home men's basketball game at the beginning of the 2012-13 season.
The Naismith Awards Board of Selectors chose the Kansas basketball student section for the award from a field of eight finalists. An original field of some 80 entries was narrowed to eight by two rounds of public Facebook votes. Selection criteria included the student section's name and attendance, as well as photos, video, a write-up submitted by the nominating school, as well as a weighted score based on the public vote. The contest was launched nationally Nov. 15. KU led the way into the final round of scoring with the highest vote tally throughout the first and second rounds of the public vote.
On March 13, Inside Higher Ed declared KU the champion of the 2012 "Academic NCAA Tournament," which is based on the Academic Progress Rates of the 68 teams in the 2012 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. KU also won that competition in 2010 and reached the "Final Four" last year.
In the Polls
Kansas is ranked No. 6 in the Associated Press and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches polls released March 12. This is Kansas' 10th appearance in the Top 10 of either poll in 2011-12. KU has been ranked in each of the last 66 Associated Press polls dating back to the 2008-09 season. Included are 49 times when the Jayhawks have appeared in the AP Top 10. KU has been ranked in each of the last 67 coaches' polls with 52 appearances in the Top 10. Kansas has faced six currently-ranked teams and is 5-4 against ranked foes (at tip) in 2011-12.
30-Win Seasons
Including 2011-12, Kansas has won 30 games each of the last three years and 11 times overall. Those include: 1985-86 (35-4), 1989-90 (30-5), 1996-97 (34-2), 1997-98 (35-4), 2001-02 (33-4), 2002-03 (30-8), 2006-07 (33-5), 2007-08 (37-3), 2009-10 (33-3), 2010-11 (35-3) and 2011-12 (31-6).
Conference Titles
With its eighth-straight Big 12 regular-season championship and Gonzaga not winning the 2012 Big West title, Kansas is now the nation's active consecutive conference regular-season champion leader. Kansas' 55 conference regular-season titles are first among NCAA Division I schools.
Taylor To Join Elite Company
Senior Tyshawn Taylor continues to etch his name into the all-time Kansas career lists. A four-year starter, Kansas is 126-20 (86.3 percent) during Taylor's time in Lawrence with four Big 12 regular-season titles, two Big 12 Championship crowns, three trips to the NCAA Sweet 16, two Elite Eights and one Final Four. His 125 all-time KU starts are tied for seventh all-time. Statistically, against Duke, Taylor became the 54th player in school history to record 1,000 points. He currently sits 16th with 1,551 points. He is seventh on the KU all-time assists list with 563. Taylor also ranks 12th with 170 career steals and his 37.2 percent career three-point percentage is 20th best at Kansas. Taylor is only the third player in KU history with the combination of at least 1,400 points, 500 assists and 150 steals in his career. He is in the company of KU greats Darnell Valentine (1,821 points, 609 assists, 336 steals) and Kirk Hinrich (1,753 points, 668 assists, 206 steals).

Important notes on articles:
Message:...I doubt that any traditional "Tier 1" college football team would hire him in the foreseeable future, based on his work at ND.
On the other hand, I could imagine a team like Pittsburgh giving him a serious look. Kelly would likely be an upgrade from the likes of Chryst, Wanny, and Walt Harris. Additionally, the expectations at Pitt are nowhere near as high as those at ND. If Kelly can get 8-9 wins each season at that school, most fans and administrators will likely be satisfied.
With all that said, it would be embarrassing for ND if its head football coach voluntary left for a team like Pitt. There's been enough flack in the press about Gary Andersen voluntarily leaving Wisconsin for Oregon State. Kelly leaving for someplace like Pitt would generate similar scrutiny on a much larger scale.

Melvin Mora Remembered
MIKE SILVA: How often do late season call-ups make a huge impact on a team in the postseason? Some names that come up off the top of my head are Shane Spencer with the Yankees in 1998, K-Rod in Anaheim in 2002, and Francisco Cabrera with the Braves in 1992. The Mets had two such players under Bobby Valentine: Melvin Mora and Timo Perez.
CHRIS PUMMER: Melvin Mora's career batting line after his 30th birthday: .281/.354/.441 in more than 5,000 plate appearances. That's a pretty good career, even before you consider that he was used as a utility player until he was 33. If he'd posted the same numbers before 30 with the same number of plate appearances, he'd have finished with 3,006 hits. Continue reading

Wally Backman's Future
MIKE SILVA: Since the end of the 2011 season the Mets have extended Terry Collins another year to 2013, and announced an overhaul of their coaching staff. The latter didn't include Binghamton manager Wally Backman, who many speculate will be offered the Triple-A job in Buffalo now that Tim Teufel has been promoted to coach third base in New York. What does the future hold for Backman? With the Mets I am unsure, but inevitably it will lead to a big league managerial job.
CHRIS PUMMER: If Backman were sidelined that long because of his troubled history, a coaching job in another organization might be available. But I doubt he'll get the call for a high-profile major league managerial job.

Jason Isringhausen and 300 Saves
CHRIS PUMMER: Not a lot of people seem enthused about Jason Isringhausen getting his 300th save, and I think that's too bad. Ok, as far as milestones go, it's not a big deal. But considering the injuries and struggles he had earlier in his career as a starter, why can't we enjoy this kind of marker as a celebration of second chances? Continue reading

Carlos Zambrano's Legacy
HOWARD MEGDAL: If this is how it ends for Carlos Zambrano, I hope the focus won't be on his contract. There was too much to like about him as a ballplayer.

ORPHANED OPINION: A Yankees Fan View Of the Wilpon/Mets Situation

The defender has little doubt that the Argentine forward is good enough to become an instant at his next club regardless of his destination
The Argentina international recently stated that he wants to leave the Santiago Bernabeu and Juventus are supposedly keen to lure the attacker to Turin ahead of the 2013-14 campaign.
"Pipita is a phenomenal player. I don't know if we'll continue as team-mates, but it's a pleasure to play with him. He's a spectacular striker," Albiol told AS.
"He has fought hard at Madrid, he has had to pick himself up a lot of times. If he leaves, I wish him the best and he'll be a great addition to the team he signs for.
"I hope I never have to come up against him, though, because he's an excellent player!"
The 25-year-old has a contract with Madrid until June 2016 and is expected to cost interested suitors around €25-30 million.

Carver County is planning a Light-Up Dedication Ceremony for CarverLink, the new fiber optic broadband system that connects all 11 cities in the County to a high-speed fiber optic network. The event is planned for Sept. 4 at 10:30 a.m. at Waconia High School.
CarverLink is an 89-mile base ring with 33 miles of laterals that connects 55 sites representing 86 community organizations including city, county and township governments, schools, libraries, fire departments, public safety towers, law enforcement agencies, health care and community support organizations.
The project dates back to a late 2008 attempt to connect nine government buildings in Carver County. At that time the Carver County Board of Commissioners authorized spending for the project. As part of a joint public-private partnership, the county and Jaguar Communications submitted an application in 2009 for a first round grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). While the first application did not result in funding, a second grant application in March of 2010, which expanded the proposal to connect 55 organizations, resulted in a $5,995,600 commitment from the federal government. As part of the agreement, Carver County agreed to contribute $1,498,900 in local funds that had already been approved in 2008.
Using cost estimates on leasing private lines to its buildings, the county's financial payback on owning the ring is five years. The county's former network used a patchwork of lines from private vendors to connect 18 buildings. The fiber ring allows the County to centralize equipment and operations, eliminate the cost of subscriber T1 services, and reap the benefits of increased levels of service and capacity for growth.
The fiber ring will allow local government organizations to operate more efficiently and at a lower cost. It will be much easier for public entities to share information and electronic communications with each other. This will create opportunities for shared staff, shared data services, and greater overall collaboration between public entities.
The fiber ring is an open network, which means it is designed to have one or more private service providers selling services off of the network. Research shows that it typically takes private services providers between 2-3 years to begin utilizing new infrastructure such as this to provide services out to regions where it was not previously economically viable to service.
Also, Carver County has an initial service provider participating with the project, Jaguar Communications, which is actively pursuing opportunities for connecting various businesses and residential areas in Carver County that they deem business appropriate.
For more information, contact Randy Lehs, Broadband Fiber Project Manager at (952) 361-1494.

By Rick Banas of BMA Management, Ltd.
The importance of being in the moment arose during one of the interviews Friday night on Fox-TV following the St. Louis Cardinals victory in the seventh game of the 2011 World Series.
Allen Craig, who was playing left field for St. Louis, was asked about what was going through his mind when Texas Ranger David Murphy hit a fly ball in his direction with two out in the top of ninth inning. All Craig had to do was make a fairly routine catch and the St. Louis Cardinals would cap an incredible run. The team was 10½ games out of the wild card spot near the end of August and three games out with just five games left to play. They had beaten the division-winning Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers in the playoffs to reach the World Series. After committing three errors early in the game the night before, they had rallied to overcome deficits in the late innings to tie the game and then win on a dramatic home run in the bottom of the 11th.
Craig noted that he focused his thinking on one thing, catching the ball. He didn't let his mind race ahead to the Cardinals winning their 11th World Series title and the ensuing Cardinal Nation celebration.
Craig's comments especially caught my attention since earlier in the day the importance of "being in the moment" and "slowing down to the speed of life" were emphasized in a BMA "Leading the Way" leadership workshop.
The workshop was conducted by guest speaker Mark Sasscer, who is the Founder and CEO of LeadQuest Consulting, Inc., an international leadership, consulting and training firm that specializes in leadership and team development and organizational culture change.
Sasscer's second book, "Accountability NOW! Living the Ten Principles of Personal Leadership," (Link) was just published. Click here for more information on Mark and LeadQuest.
As an aside, Sasscer lives on property on Maryland's eastern shore where the thoroughbred race horses "Man O' War" and "War Admiral" grew up.
In the workshop he conducted for folks from BMA and the senior living communities that we manage, Sasscer talked about the relationship between BMA's Values of love, compassion and dignity and our patterns of behavior. He especially focused on our decision to boldly proclaim love as a value.
The commitment to love residents is so much more powerful than providing them with the basics of care and safety.
To love residents as well as those you with work, it is important for you to "be in the moment," Sasscer said. You have to be there for them fully, not only physically, but also mentally. You have to slow down to the "speed of life."
Sasscer also stressed the importance of curiosity and developing an understanding of other people's values, beliefs and traditions. As noted in "You Can Be Happy No Matter What" by Richard Carlson, Ph.D., "because every human being lives in a separate reality, it's impossible for two human beings, from the same culture or not, to see things precisely alike."
Great leaders create an environment where people want to be here and do their best. They create an environment where people willingly volunteer discretionary efforts over and above what is minimally required to do their jobs.

At a special meeting of the land commissariat leaders under the chairmanship of Yakovlev, decided to reprimand the land commissary in Crimea and to speed a shock brigade to collect seeds from the collectives for Spring sowing. The meeting established the fact that Crimea had so far submitted 19 percent of the requested amount of seeds, not-withstanding that seed collection must be completed by February 15.

That seems like a workable compromise and should probably meet the needs of the author of the patch to change the \x behavior. Best Regards, Michael Paesold

A 3-year-old boy from Southern California was hospitalized after mistakenly eating his grandmother's medicinal marijuana cookies, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Local police were called to the family's house around 10:30 a.m. Saturday, after the toddler was found unresponsive, the Press-Enterprise reported. He was brought to the hospital for observation and later released.
The boy's grandmother, who has cancer, was using marijuana to ease her pain and help her sleep under a doctor's recommendation, Murrieta police Sgt. Phil Gomez told the Press-Enterprise.

She had baked a batch of cookies laced with THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, and stored them in her garage refrigerator, the Associated Press reported.
The boy's aunt had been babysitting him and his younger sibling when the child got into the stash, according to the Press-Enterprise. When his father returned, he found crumbs on the garage floor but assumed that the grandmother had left them there.
Investigators are awaiting the results of toxicology tests done on the boy, New York Daily News reported. The family could face child endangerment charges if weed is found in the child's system.

The 2012 Action Plan between the UK and Vietnam was signed in London on March 27 by Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Jeremy Browne and Vietnamese Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Vu Quang Minh.
The Action Plan sets out commitments in all areas of the Strategic Partnership Agreement signed by the two governments in September 2010. It comes hot on the heels of the inaugural Strategic Dialogue held in October 2011 and is the second of its kind to have been signed.
Highlights of the 2012 Action Plan include Vietnam's support for the UK's accession to the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation - TAC, enhanced UK support for Vietnam's anti-corruption effort through its role as lead donor, closer cooperation to improve access to information and development of the media, and regular dialogue on economic reforms including through the recently agreed MOU with the Ministry of Finance.
Under the Action Plan, the two governments will work together to finalise early agreement on a sustainable model for the Vietnam-UK international standard university in Danang. They will soon implement the 2011 MOU on defence relations and the planned MOU on immigration information exchange. Cooperation will also continue in the area of crisis response.

text: Okay brainiacs, I have the option of doing a 351w swap into my 95 Gt with all the proper parts to make it fit. Less a little head machining and fluids I can put it in for $2767 (w/4,000 mile warranty). My idea for the build was not to go crazy, but to envision what Ford should have done wit the Mustang in 94-95 in order to counteract all those pesky F-bodies. I also want a turn key smooth idle, reliability, and just more driving fun -not racing, just fun. So, here are some particulars and a follow up question. -351w short block - GT40 351 lower & GT40 upper - Correct swap shorties for 94-95 w/fab EGR snorkel (im in nazi CA) - GT40 heads drilled to fit, w/minor valve job, all new springs - push rods - proper 5qt oil pan, etc. - all gaskets - EFI Distributor - harmonic bal - flywheel - Cobra ECU - 24lbs inj - drop mounts - new water pump This is what I get for $2767. Is that a good price or not? Is it worth the switch from a 302?
