My dad started reading this book while I was home during Spring break last
week. He's an avid basketball fan and I know it was kind of a
disappointment to him that his two kids favor softball and boy scouts over
his first love. Anyway, I picked up the book out of curiosity and fell in
love with it instantly. I got so emotionally attached to the players that
I found myself in tears reading about Rome and Aaron's struggles.
All unnecessary background info aside, I just wanted to thank you for
giving me, albeit temporarily, something in common with something so
important in my dad's life. Reading and discussing "Play Their Hearts Out"
with him has brought us closer and I can't thank you enough.
Also, as an aspiring writer, I can't leave out how in awe I am of your
writing. I don't know how you managed to weave in new characters with
almost every chapter, but it all worked perfectly.

I watch the boys from PTHO play as often as I can. If I can't view their games in real time, I TIVO them and watch them late at night or while I am filling out expense reports (the worst) or executing some other mindless task. I usually enjoy watching them play – even when they aren't performing well – because it still amazes me that the young kids I once knew are now college players.
Lately, I have been obsessively watching Roberto Nelson and Oregon State. I've seen almost all of the Beavers Pac-10 games and I saw the team play in person at Cal and at Stanford. Roberto's dad, Bruce, calls me from prison for updates on how Roberto is doing. I want to give him a comprehensive report, so sometimes I watch Roberto's games live and then re-watch the portions of the game when Roberto was on the floor.
Those who follow me on Twitter know that this has amounted to torture. Oregon State has to be one of the worst major conference teams in the nation. Worst of all, they remind me of one of Joe Keller's team: No discipline, poor fundamentals, a lack of leadership, and a coach on the sideline who doesn't appear to have any answers.
Criticizing the tactics of coaches can be tricky because, well, I am not a coach. In PTHO, I did so only when I felt like it was SO obvious that what Keller was doing was wrong. I don't know as much about basketball as Oregon State coach Craig Robinson. I don't know all of his players like I know Roberto. I don't know what kind of effort they give in practice and who is teachable and who is not. Still, it has become obvious to me that the team is doing a lot wrong. For example:
1. The Beavers play a gimmicky zone - a lot of 1-3-1 and others - that is too easily exploited by disciplined teams. The players run around crazily trying to create turnovers and it just leads to easy buckets. Oregon State has a number of great athletes who, on the surface, look like they would be good one-on-one defenders, and yet night after night Oregon State sticks with that zone, which has resulted in the worst field-goal percentage defense in the Pac-10. It reminds me of Keller's stupid "Fist" defense, and readers will remember that it wasn't until Keller abandoned that zone that the team found real success.
2. Oregon State should run but does not. Oregon State has some supreme athletes, such as Jared Cunningham, Calvin Haynes, Devon Collier, Roberto, etc. but it plays a version of the Princeton offense (I'm told) that is ill suited to its personnel. To my untrained eye, the Beavers entire offensive philosophy consists of passing the ball around the perimeter until one of those great athletes says "to hell with it" and takes a low percentage shot.
3. Nobody rebounds. This may be because of the aforementioned zone, as it makes it harder for players to find a man and box out. Among Pac-10 schools, Oregon State ranks last in defensive rebounding.
4. Nobody can shoot the 3. As a team, Oregon State shoots about 29% from three-point range. That's not a typo. Part of the problem is the high number of players (like Cunningham, Haynes, etc) who are better penetrators than shooters, but the offense also doesn't create enough open looks because . . .
5. Nobody passes. This may be what bothers me most. I watch Notre Dame play a lot, and the difference between how the Notre Dame players share the ball and what Oregon State does is the difference between Steve Nash and J.R. Smith. Oregon State has a roster full of selfish players. I first watched Haynes, a senior guard, play at the Adidas Superstar Camp when he was going into his final year of high school. I remember thinking then that he was chucker, and I would never want him on my team. More than four years later, my opinion remains unchanged. Haynes is not the only guilty party, but he personifies the problem. Why did UCLA rack up an astounding 16 blocks Saturday against the Beavers? Because no Oregon State player ever drove and dished. They always took the shot, no matter how bad it was, so UCLA's frontline could play for the block without concern for leaving their man.
Oregon State's mistakes and mediocrity shouldn't bother me as much as it does. What do I care if the Beavers suck? Well, here is why: Before he went to Oregon State, Roberto was a good shooter, a great passer, a very good rebounder for a guard, and a solid one-on-one defender. Most importantly, he was consummate team player. If you don't believe me, go back and reread the chapters that focus on him.
Late in the second half of Oregon State's embarrassing showing against UCLA, Roberto was just looking for his shot, not caring about his teammates. It appeared as if he had caught whatever disease Calvin Haynes has had since high school. He may have been the last holdout among the Beavers most talented players; the others turned into me-first kids even earlier. Now, even Roberto had succumbed. This is what happens on bad, undisciplined teams. It becomes every man for himself, every player trying to show what he can do. We are going to lose anyway, the players think, so I might as well get my shots.
It hurts to see Roberto playing that way. That is not who he is. We have talked about it, and he is frustrated and unhappy, mostly with the losing. He wants to help his team win, but he knows that if he goes out there and plays one way and all his teammates are playing another, it is not going to make a difference.
So, what's the solution? I don't know. I see SO much that needs to change, beginning with Robinson's core strategic philosophies: that zone and the Princeton-ish offense. Coaches can adapt, but most have a way of doing things and tend to deviate only slightly. Tweaks aren't going to fix Oregon State.
As the risk of exposing my basketball ignorance, here are a couple of overly simplistic suggestions:
1. Play man-to-man defense. If the zone(s) you are playing has made you the worst defensive team (%-wise) in the conference, time to try something else. Show the team tape of Oregon State alumnus Gary Payton playing and say, "Do that!"
2. Get the younger players (Cunningham, Collier, Roberto, etc.) on the floor together more often and give them a long leash. Sit Haynes and Omari Johnson. As seniors, they are not going to be part of any turnaround and they take minutes from those who might be. Please sit Haynes. Please. Please. Please. I will buy a copy of Robinson's book to go with the one copy I already own for every game the rest of the year in which Haynes logs less than 15 minutes on the floor.
3. Run, Craig, run. Encourage those young players to pick up the pace. How any coach could not let Cunningham get out and run is beyond me. He's one of the top 10 athletes and finishers at the rim in the nation. Roberto should have 10 assists a night playing next to Cunningham.
I know, I know, I sound like a frustrated parent. I want Roberto to play more and all of those suggestions would benefit him. But I just don't see any other way for Oregon State to create a sliver of hope for the future and to make their remaining games remotely watchable. Time to do something drastic.
Jan 12, 2011
Gary Franklin has enrolled at Baylor after leaving Cal, and I am happy for him. He really liked Baylor coach Scott Drew and the vibe of the school when he visited Waco, Texas as a high school senior.
I hope Gary, one of the kids I wrote about in Play Their Hearts Out, finds great success at Baylor, and I will always root for him. But his transfer still bothers me and I imagine it bothers others, too.
Let's start with the big question, which Demetrius Walker articulated when I called him last week to tell him that Gary was leaving Cal. "He's playing 25 minutes a game as a freshman," Demetrius said. "Why is he gonna transfer?"
I've talked to Gary Sr. and exchanged texts with Little Gary, and was told that the reason he left Cal is that he wasn't happy with the team's "style of play." Translation: Gary wasn't happy with how he was being utilized. He wanted the ball in his hands more, which meant playing more at the point, and he wanted more freedom to create rather than be restricted by the constant plays being called from the bench. Also, Gary feels that he has to play point guard to make it to the NBA, and the Cal coaches were playing him mostly off the ball.
Set aside, for a moment, whether or not the Cal coaches were using him correctly and whether or not Gary can become an NBA point guard.
Let's get back to the question that Demetrius asked: How can a kid playing 25 minutes a game as a freshman transfer?
My answer: He can't.
Playing time is precious. Ask Justin Hawkins, Andrew Bock, Demetrius and other Team Cal alumni about playing time, about how they felt last season seeing limited minutes or, as Demetrius put it: "Getting all those DNPs," (Did Not Play). Playing time as a freshman is tough to find; playing time as a freshman when you are struggling is even rarer. Gary was shooting 29% from the field and the same percentage from three-point range and yet he still started 11 of 13 games and was playing more than 25 minutes a contest. Against Stanford, in what would be Gary's last game for Cal, he played 30 minutes.
Cal's team was so thin and so young that it appeared as if the coaching staff would continue to give Gary playing time no matter what he did. That's unheard of, particularly at a major-conference school. Gary had it good, even if it didn't feel that way after he started coming off the bench.
Gary Sr. told me that he didn't want his son to leave Cal; he hoped he would at least finish out the school year. "But it is his life and so at some point I have to support his decision," Gary Sr. said.
Okay, I get that, but I also know this: If Gary is good enough to have a team's offense run through him and if he really is a future NBA point guard, he's going to have to prove it to whomever is coaching him. He had to prove it at Cal with Mike Montgomery and now he is going to have to prove it to Scott Drew. The benefit of staying at Cal was that he was assured playing time. There is no such assurance at Baylor, and so one could argue that Gary's odds of being an impact college player and making the NBA just got a little longer.
Before deciding to transfer, I wish that Gary had called another alumnus from Team Cal (and another character from my book): Darius Morris.
Darius is now a sophomore guard at Michigan and the Wolverines' best player. He is averaging 15.2 points per game and 7.3 assists, fourth most in the nation. Recently, NBA draft analysts like ESPN's Chad Ford have begun writing that pro scouts have taken notice.
But as a freshman last season, Darius was a role player. He started the first nine games and then was sent to the bench, mostly because the Michigan staff didn't feel he was enough of a threat from the perimeter. DeWayne Morris, Darius father, told me: "Just like with Gary, it was about this time last year that Darius got taken out of the starting lineup and he was discouraged. When he was playing he was being asked only to play defense and then get the ball to others and go stand in the corner. He didn't like that. When he was being recruited, the coaches [at Michigan] talked about how he was going to be scoring guard and all that but it changes when you get there."
But instead of looking to transfer from a school for which he was playing more than 20 minutes a game, "we talked to Darius about what he was going to do to change how the coaches saw him," DeWayne said.
Darius had been a role player during his one year on Team Cal and was rarely the centerpiece on other AAU teams for which he played. In contrast, Gary was the fulcrum of almost every team he was on, in part because Gary Sr. was usually his head coach.
"I actually talked to Darius last season about the experience with Joe [Keller] and on Team Cal," DeWayne said. "We talked about how if people don't see you as the player you think you are, the only thing you can do is get better and better until they have to see it. But if you have always been the star of the team, you never think that the reason you aren't playing as much or scoring as much is that you aren't good enough."
I won't go into too much detail about how Darius made himself into a more complete player because I am likely to write something on him for Sports Illustrated a little later. What I love is the approach he took. He set out to change the coaches' perception of him and he did just that and now he is thriving and being talked about as one of the better sophomore guards in the country and an NBA prospect.
He is in the exact position Gary hopes to be in, and he didn't have to transfer to a different school to get there.

* Calmer bond market conditions buoy European stock markets
* Roche rallies after positive drug trial results
* Too early to fight against bull market -Citi
By Sudip Kar-Gupta
LONDON, May 15 (Reuters) - European shares advanced on Friday, as calmer conditions in the bond market buoyed the region's stock markets, while drugs group Roche rallied after positive product results.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index rose 0.4 percent. Swiss group Roche was the best performer on the FTSEurofirst 300, climbing 3.1 percent after reporting strong results from cancer drug trials.
Syngenta also edged up after industry sources told Reuters that U.S. seeds giant Monsanto was trying to line up buyers for assets worth up to $8 billion to appease competition authorities before making a fresh takeover approach for Syngenta.
Traders said signs that jitters in the bond market this week were starting to recede were also helping to prop up European stock markets.
"The sell-off in bond markets does appear to be slowing following what was quite a dramatic decline in a very short period of time," said Oanda senior market analyst Craig Erlam.
Record low interest rates and government bond purchases by the European Central Bank (ECB) have kept a lid on the euro and buoyed European stocks, although signs of a rebound in the currency and on bond yields caused volatile market movements this week.
Nevertheless, despite European share price drops this week, the FTSEurofirst 300 index remains near its best level in more than 14 years, while Germany's DAX is also not far behind a record high set last month.
The FTSEurofirst 300 is up 16 percent since the start of 2015.
The DAX is also up 18 percent and equity strategists at U.S. bank Citigroup said that in spite of signs of bubbles emerging in financial markets, it was still too early to go against the prevailing bull market trend in equities.

Ulstermen star in Ireland's thrilling opening success
Ireland 26-25 Wales
Ireland won their World Rugby Under-20 Championship opener against Wales in Manchester in the most dramatic of circumstances with Ulstermen providing all three tries in the 26-25 success.
As 2016 Grand Slam winners, Wales came into the encounter as favourites and had Ireland rocking on their heels after racing into a 17-0 lead, but the men in green came roaring back.
Hooker Adam McBurney got Ireland back in it while fullback Jacob Stockdale provided a score in either half to lead a comeback charge.
Still, when Keelan Giles went over in the corner with minutes remaining, Wales could have nicked it only for the conversion to drift wide of the posts.
Such tension had seemed unimaginable after 20 minutes.
Wales did not have to wait long for their breakthrough, a scrum penalty sent to the corner leading to Shaun Evans touching down after only 11 minutes.
With Nigel Carolan's men struggling to get a foothold in the game, a lost lineout saw Wales counter and Daniel Jones produced a sumptuous cross-kick into the arms of Giles to double their lead.
With Ireland in disarray, Jones created a third score when offloading for his half-back partner Reuben Morgan Williams to scamper over.
With only a quarter gone, Ireland trailed 17-0.
Munster's Bill Johnston knocked over a drop goal to at least get on the board.
As half-time approached, Ballymena's McBurney scored off the back of a maul to leave Ireland trailing by nine.
Before the turn, the lively Stockdale took advantage of the space created by centre Conor O'Brien's clever play to score himself.
Johnston's conversion left the score 17-15 at the interval.
Johnston gave Ireland the lead for the first time with half an hour remaining.
Stockdale went over in the corner, and Giles replied but Ireland held on and face New Zealand on Saturday.

Directive Covering Bulk Diesel Buys Issued Wednesday
California's Department of General Services advised state fuel buyers this week that henceforth they are to purchase renewable diesel fuel, "defined as a diesel fuel that is produced from nonpetroleum renewable resources but is not a mono-alkyl ester." FAME biodiesel – conventional fatty acid methyl ester – fuel is thus ineligible. updated with Caltrans photo on December 16
"State agencies shall purchase state-contracted renewable diesel fuel, in lieu of conventional diesel and biodiesel fuels, when making bulk purchases of fuel for diesel powered vehicles and/or equipment," states the Wednesday management memo (number 15-07) from DGS.
Half the Carbon Intensity
"As an alternative fuel derived from nonpetroleum based stock and possessing a total carbon intensity of half, or less, than that of traditional diesel fuels, renewable diesel serves as a viable fuel option to help the state meet the above statutory requirements and [Governor Jerry Brown's goals as outlined in Executive Order] B-30-15," wrote DGS Office of Fleet and Asset Management assistant chief Renee Carroll.
The order is to remain in force "until rescinded."

The environment at RedCliff is particularly suited to determine whether or not a troubled teen is actually making some attempts to alter his coping style, or if he is continuing to require external entities to provide his identity and emotional needs for him.
Our students find themselves in an immediate and continuous community-building process. There is no place for troubled teens to hide. No way to avoid confronting their problems.
Their role within their wilderness community changes as they progress through the seven curriculum stages with their individual treatment. How they cope with the difficulties encountered by their immediate community, and their personal contributions to this community, are diagnostic indicators of their self-appointed position in the large community of their family or society. As the RedCliff communities struggle to master actual problems, the individual student demonstrates the extent of his commitment to himself and to his community. This behavioral demonstration and rehearsal is much more valuable than a mere verbal assurance by the student that he intends to change his behavior as soon as he returns home
Please explore our website or call an admissions counselor at 801-921-8488 for additional information about how RedCliff Ascent can help your family.

Santa Fe Farmers Market Favorites – Artisan Cheeses
Product Description
Taking Care of your Cheese
These cheeses are best stored in the refrigerator. Plastic wrap the cheese tightly to keep the air off as they can dry out or grow mold. If you have a vacu seal this works best for resealing the cheese and storing them in the refrigerator.
If you are doing a beer or wine pairing, these cheeses will make an awesome choice.
Cheddar /McIntosh – best served with an IPA (it really cuts back on the hoppy flavor of the beer. When combined the beer enhances the cheese flavor. As for wine we recommend a fruity champaign or a Sauvignon with a grapefruit subtlety, like Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc.
Smoked Gouda /Sandia Sunrise Smoked Gouda – pairs nicely with a stout or a red ale. I suggest topping a french onion soup or a grilled portabello mushroom and a slice of beef steak tomatoe.
Both cheeses make a great Mac & Cheese, Grilled Cheese Sandwich or top a nice toasty bread.
McIntosh 1/2 lb $18.00
Sandia Sunrise Smoked Gouda 1/2 lb $18.00
Tote $10.00
Total =$46.00 plus shipping

You have probably heard so many times that drinking water is really important. There are numerous reasons why people should drink water regularly, and there are numerous ways in which water can help boost our health. You have probably heard about detox plans that involve drinking plenty of water. In other words, March quantities of water can help your body pass all the negative chemicals and ingredients.
Drinking Water Replenishes Your Body
Another thing we should mention is that drinking water replenishes your body and reduces your cravings. Many people cannot differentiate between the urge to eat, or hunger, and the urge to drink, or thirst.
By drinking water and you will experience immense benefits to your organs but also to your skin and well-being. Also, if you are not certain whether you are hungry or just thirsty, you should have a cup of water and then wait some time to see whether you have been hungry.
Organs Functioning As They Should
As we have mentioned, for your organs to be functioning properly you need to pay attention to what you eat and how much water you drink. Drinking plenty of water will make your kidneys work and they should, and you will make sure all negative and harmful things will leave your body through your urine. You will not say that you have been drinking far less water than you should have if your urine is dark. Also, if your urine is light pink, there is probably some blood in your urine, so you should get that checked. The normal color of urine is pale yellow, and this means that you have been hydrated enough.
Loosing Up Your Stool
Plenty of fluid will also loosen up your stool, so if you have been having problems with your stool, or if you have felt constipated, it is safe to say that by drinking plenty of water you can help your constipation problems. If you do not drink plenty of water you probably suffer constipation, because your colon absorbs the fluids you need. Also, do not drink a lot of water at once, rather distribute the water you take in throughout the day for the best results.
Minerals From Water
Water is also filled with minerals we needed for our bodies to be functioning properly. If you fail to drink sufficient amounts of water, you will probably experience the lack of certain minerals in your system.
As it has been previously mentioned for this not to happen, you have to distribute the water you drink on a daily basis throughout the day, and the best way to do so is to drink eight cups of water throughout your day.
Lovely Skin
Drinking just enough of water will also leave you with another amazing side-effect, and that is beautiful skin. If you want to have a lovely skin, you need to keep yourself hydrated so make sure you drink plenty of water on a daily basis and do not forget to drink water when you're thirsty.

Not everyone has the time or the means to fly to Lesvos, to volunteer in Calais, to donate money, or even to spare any clothing or shoes. That is totally understandable to me.
But what I also know, is that everyone has a responsibility and the ability to do SOMETHING.
One of the best things to come out of our visit to the camp this week was the reaction we got to the hand-knitted snoods we gave out. Jess's amazing Mamma has spent the last few months furiously knitting and producing a constant stream of these amazing snoods for the guys in Calais and elsewhere along the refugee routes.
The guys in the Sudanese area of the camp rushed to pick out their favourite colours and put them all on immediately, instantly visibly warmer. Hopefully they will go a little way to keeping out the bitter wind often blowing across the camp off the sea. It hasn't seemed such a cold winter yet to us, but that wind goes straight to your bones and these guys have no opportunity to warm their freezing toes. I am dreading the frost.
The gesture of the snoods was so simple, but that was the beauty of it, one Mamma knitting for some very cold people. No matter what your skill, your job, your hobby, your passion, there is a way to use it to make lives just a little bit better for those struggling through this crisis. We are all powerful in our own way, even if it's sharing a post, an idea, a message on social media.
If you fancy brushing off your needles (you only need to be able to knit a straight line) to help those in need this Winter, check out the incredibleKnit Aid who work to help knitters help others. Take a look atwww.knitaid.org for more info on ways to get involved. They've also got their own patterns that you can use!
Little things go a long way, and those small things make a big difference when we do them from the heart and we do them together.

Lady Gaga Called 'Slut' by New York Politician
A Staten Island politician called Lady Gaga a "slut" Monday for openly smoking what appeared to be marijuana at a recent concert, and following a day of outrage, repeated the slur on Tuesday.
"There's Gaga. Here's this, this, I would call her a slut. This slut is influencing many, many children," Borough President James Molinaro said on Monday, according to the Staten Island Advance. "My niece has two daughters, 12 and 14, they love this woman. Why? Why? So we have a job to do with these actresses, these actors, these ball players. They use drugs as it's nothing. We shouldn't praise them. We shouldn't honor them. We should really hit them....
To me, she's not an actress, she's a slut, in the pure word, in the pure meaning of the word."
At the time of comments, Molinaro was pointing to photos of the not-actress lighting what appears to be a marijuana cigarette at an Amsterdam concert last week. The photos were displayed alongside a poster that said: "Stop glorifying drug use in the media."
Following the remarks, several area politicians condemned the remarks including Staten Island Councilwoman Debi Rose, who made sure to reference the name of Gaga fans in her statement, picked up by amNewYork. "As a fan and one who can relate to Gaga's little monsters I found the language used yesterday to be inappropriate for public discourse."
Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, who is running for mayor in 2013, also chimed in to defend Gaga, who grew up in the Upper West Side neighborhood. "In addition to her artistic pursuits, she is a social justice activist and a real leader for marriage equality in this country."
On Tuesday, an unfazed Molinaro defended his use of the word to describe Gaga.
"A slut is someone that's immoral or uses improper conduct. That's the interpretation in the Random dictionary. So she's using improper conduct. So she's a slut," he said, according to the Staten Island Advance. "What's the big deal about it? Are you excited because she's female? There's males that are sluts too ... Anyone that would expose people that look up to them and who their idol is, to the use of narcotics, to me is a slut, male or female. It doesn't matter."

Ashley Madison, an online cheating website for married people, hit by hack
Ashley Madison, an online dating website that helps married people cheat on their spouses, has been hit by a cyber-attack that has apparently compromised a large swath of the company's data and customers' private information.
The hack, first reported by online security blogger Brian Krebs, released large caches of data onto the Internet, including the company's user databases, financial records and other proprietary information, according to Krebs.
On its homepage, the site touts having more than 37 million anonymous members, as well as a "Trusted Security Award" and "100% discreet service."
In a statement, Avid Life Media, the parent company of Ashley Madison, condemned the attack as unprovoked and criminal.
"We were recently made aware of an attempt by an unauthorized party to gain access to our systems," the statement says. "We apologize for this unprovoked and criminal intrusion into our customers' information."
The hacker or hackers threatened to "release customer records, including profiles with all the customers' secret sexual fantasies and matching credit card transactions, real names and addresses, and employee documents and emails" if the website is not taken down, according to the statement.
According to the manifesto published by the hacker or hackers -- who go by the name The Impact Team -- the company's "Full Delete" feature that allows members to completely erase their profile information from AshleyMadison.com for $19 does not actually work.
"Full Delete netted ALM $1.7 million in revenue in 2014. It's also a complete lie," the hacking group wrote. "Users almost always pay with credit card; their purchase details are not removed as promised, and include real name and address, which is of course the most important information the users want removed."
The Impact Team also demanded that Avid Life Media's other online website, Established Men, be taken down. The company also owns CougarLife.
According to Avid Life Media, the breach has been contained, with the company adding "we have been able to secure our sites, and close the unauthorized access points. We are working with law enforcement agencies, which are investigating this criminal act. Any and all parties responsible for this act of cyberterrorism will be held responsible."
Ashley Madison, which launched in 2001 and is based in Toronto, uses the slogan "Life is short. Have an affair."

PHOENIX — Expect some delays in downtown Tempe as the city begins two roadway construction projects.
One of the projects will take place on Hardy Drive between University Drive and Broadway Road beginning on March 24 — and continuing until January 2015 — while the other will be on University Drive between Ash Avenue and Priest Drive — beginning in April and continuing until September.
Principal Planner Eric Iverson said the work should help improve pedestrian, bicycle and transit facilities along the roads.
"The intent of the project and the elements of the construction that we are including in the projects are to make them stronger multi-modal streets," he said.
One of the upgrades will include a protected bike lane on Hardy Drive, Iverson said.
"The bike lane raises up to the sidewalk level. It is separated from the pedestrian sidewalk facility, but it is at the same height or level as the sidewalk," he said.
The Hardy Drive construction project is being funded by a federal grant of $1.8 million, and the University Drive project is fueled by $1.65 million in federal grant money. The Tempe Transit Tax Fund will also pay a required 5 percent matching fund.
Iverson said while the roads may be restricted during the construction process, the city does not expect any road closures.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Travel Best Bets, led by travel expert Claire Newell, is launching the Go Solo app, fundamentally changing the way solo and small group travelers find and book trips around the world.
Go Solo gives travelers the ability to book a vacation as a single or in a small group, lead by expert guides, with similar aged people, paying no single supplement, and having a hassle free experience from start to finish.
"I've been in the travel business more than 23 years and have unfortunately seen so many people choose not to travel because they don't want to go alone or they're worried about being in a group that's much younger or older than they are, or they're nervous about traveling to a foreign country by themselves," says Claire Newell, President, Travel Best Bets. "With Go Solo that all changes. Those concerns are washed away."
The Go Solo app is for ANYONE - single, married, or traveling with a friend - wanting the safety, security and camaraderie that comes with booking a tour rather than going it completely alone.
The app is easy to use. Simply open Go Solo and pick your age. View the tour options and dates available. Click any available trip to get more details. If you decide you want to go, fill out a simple booking request form - no payment is needed at that time.
A Go Solo team member will be in contact within 48 hours to go over the details. If there's no trip that works for you, you can sign up to be notified of new tours as soon as they become available.
For more information about Go Solo, please contact Claire Newell - President P:1-877-5-BEST-BETS ext100 E: firstname.lastname@example.com Hayley McFarlane - Marketing Manager, P: 1-877-5-BEST-BETS ext125 E: firstname.lastname@example.com

Upper Hanley flow blue platter in the Elgar pattern, made from about 1895 - 1910.
The platter is 15" x 12", dark blue on white with gold accents. I've included several closeups, so you can see just how lovely this pattern is, and to appreciate the skilled hand painting of the decorative elements. There is some wear to the gold edging on the outside rim, but most is still there.
The platter is in very good condition with no cracks or chips or hairlines. There is mild crazing in the center of the platter and a few very minor knife scratches from use. Far better condition than most platters of this age!
I have a few other pieces in this pattern. If you do not see them, just ask.

Psychological methods of Stress Management
Key Terms
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Stress Inoculation Therapy (SIT)
Hardiness Training
Stress Inoculation training
(form of CBT)
Meichenbaum (1977)
Key terms
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
: A combination of cognitive (changing maladaptive thoughts) and behavioural therapy (way of changing behaviour in response to these thoughts)
Stress inoculation training:
Type of CBT which trains people to cope with stressful situations by learning skills to protect against stress
Hardiness training:
Aim is to increase self-confidence and sense of control
What is CBT?
1: Conceptualisation phase
Therapist and client establish relationship and identify sources of stress in lives.
Encouraged to keep a diary of stressful experiences
Therapist may challenge client's appraisal of stressful situations if they seem exaggerated.
2: Skills acquisition phase
Coping skills are taught and practised primarily at the clinic, then gradually rehearsed in real life
Skills taught and tailored to clients own problems.
Includes positive thinking, relaxation, social skills, methods of diversion, time management, social support.
3: Application phase (and follow up)
Clients are encouraged to use their coping skills in the real world.
The therapist and client continue to monitor the success (or failure) of the therapy
Clients may even be asked to help train others.
Evaluation (AO2) - SIT
SIT focuses on challenging what the stressors are in life as well as a way of dealing with the problems
Sheehy and Horan (2004) found SIT decreased stress and improved grades for first-year law students.
Can be applied to many individuals and all stressful situations (examination stress, Berger, (2000)
Jay & Elliott (1990) - Videotape for parents of 3-12 year old children with leukemia. Implies SIT to be an effective treatment for acute, short-term stressors
Meichenbaum (2001) SIT modeling films used successfully to control anger with alleged rape victims when preparing them for forensic examination.
SIT takes time, commitment and money!! Therefore not available to everyone!
SIT is too complex; it might be better to just talk more positively and relax more
Hardiness training
Another form of CBT
(what is this again?)
Involves three stages:
Client is taught how to recognise the physiological signs of stress, and to identify it's source. Also, how to acquire skills for coping.
Evaluation (AO2) - Hardiness training
Hardiness training targets both perception and coping, therefore reducing the gap between demands and abilities.
It is effective; currently used by Olympic swimmers (Fletcher, 2005)
Provides the client with ability to cope with a variety of stressful situations they may encounter in the future.
Hardiness training takes time, commitment and money!! Therefore not available to everyone!
Requires the client to be motivated to change personality
Who developed stress inoculation training (SIT)?
What are the three stages of SIT?
Who identified the hardy personality?
What are the three components of hardiness training?
There are three main phases of SIT:
Conceptualisation phase (assessment)
Skills acquisition (rehearsal/stress-reduction)
Application phase (follow through)
Reliving stress encounters:
Client recognizes current ways of coping through analysing
past stressful events
Self improvement:
Clients are taught to see stressors as challenges they can take control of, rather than problems they should give in to. Therapist will suggest taking on and coping with small stressors and feel optimistic about doing so.
Cognitive restructuring - Change the way people think about themselves and their lives
Aimed at changing their emotional response and behaviour.
A combination of cognitive (changing maladaptive thoughts) and behavioural therapy (way of changing behaviour in response to these thoughts)
Evaluation (AO2) - Drug Therapy
Research support:
Kahn et al (1986) followed nearly 250 patients over eight weeks and found that BZ's were significantly superior to a placebo. A meta-analysis of students focusing on the treatment of social anxiety
Beta-blockers are effective in reducing anxiety in a variety of stressful situations e.g. among musicians and in sports where accuracy is more important than physical stamina ( e.g. snooker and golf)
Increased aggressiveness with BZs
Treating the symptoms rather than the problem
Strength - Ease of use:
One of the great benefits of using drugs for stress is that the therapy requires little effort from the user.
You just have to remember to take the pills. This is much easier than the time and effort needed to use psychological methods.
Real World Application
Lockwood (1989) studied over 2,000 musicians in major US symphony orchestras and found that 27% reported taking BB's. It was found that those musicians who had taken BB's felt better about their performance, as well as receiving a better report from critics.

Davao City, Philippines [ show map ]
I'm here to meet girls from 18 to 30 years old for dating, friendship, romance and more.
Honesty and trust always counts . . .God is always above all things, God is Love. I prefer to spend my time at work, date with my GF if ever I have. I'm low profiled person. Willing to have a peaceful and ardent relationship to someone who are willing to understand my life and personality. Willing to be always with unconditional love. I realized that life should be nourished and cherished and give due respect. Life runs in this way: If there is a lock there's a key, thus, if there are problems, there are always solutions. Good luck and be happy always.
I'm here looking for someone who will compensate my true love and share the happy and sad moments of our life. Giving value of life and would really be true forever.
Preferred to be with someone with taste and my preference. Willing to have a peaceful, mutual relationship and to be with unrestricted enormous love. I do believe that love ends happily when both party work and put importance and value.

'When did One Direction become Thunderbirds?' Fans blast ITV redesign of hit 1960s show
EVERYTHING was far from F.A.B for the ITV remake of Thunderbirds this morning – as hundreds of disgruntled fans flooded Twitter after a sneak peek image from the new show was released.
The new image released by ITV that dozens of fans think proves the studio has "ruined Thunderbirds"
The channel today unveiled a first look at the new computer-generated Tracy brothers from the upcoming remake, entitled Thunderbirds Are Go!
The highly-anticipated show, which has already been commissioned for a 52-episode run over two series, has been developed by ITV Studios with help from Weta Works – the Oscar-winning company behind the specials effects in the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit trilogies.
What in God's name has happened to the Thunderbirds. They look terrible
However, hundreds of outraged fans of the original 1965 Thunderbirds series today stormed social media to moan about the show's new look.
Many commented on the "boy band" appearance of the younger Tracey brothers fronting the remake – citing their resemblance to current pop music stars.
One Twitter user bemoaned the characters' "Niall from 1D haircut" and "Olly Murs trouser bulge".
A clip from the original 1960s Thunderbirds TV show – complete with puppetry strings
Another fan, Amelia Pond, added: "What in god's name has happened to the Thunderbirds. They look terrible!
"Proving once again, CGI'ing everything is not always the answer."
Jon Partridge also blasted the new appearance of the International Rescue team, writing: "Since when did One Direction become Thunderbirds?"
And Donna Rees tweeted: "What have they done with #Thunderbirds? I bet Brains now wears contacts and looks like Chris Hemsworth…"
Reacting to the 'new look' Thunderbirds is a mix between a guffaw and a single tear drop. Just awful.— Jonny Neeves (@jontyneeves) January 15, 2015
I'm dreading the (inevitable) Thunderbirds craft redesigns.— James Williams (@LoneDragoon90) January 15, 2015
I'm glad Thunderbirds are back, but would it have killed them to make just one of the FIVE Tracy brothers a Tracy sister this time round?— Gary Whitta (@garywhitta) January 15, 2015
Since when did One Direction become Thunderbirds?— Jon Partridge (@jonpartridge) January 15, 2015
The remake of the 1960s puppet show soon became one of the most talked-about topics across the UK on Twitter today.
"Reacting to the 'new look' Thunderbirds is a mix between a guffaw and a single tear drop. Just awful," tweeted Jonny Neeves.
Many fans likened the new CGI (Computer Generated Image) redesign to the recent changes made to children's TV classic Bob the Builder.
"First they ruin Bob the Builder and now they ruin Thunderbirds. Why must you keep ruining my childhood," wrote Chris Youles.
Meanwhile, James Williams speculated the team may also have changed many of the classic spaceships and aircrafts featured in the British show.
He tweeted: "I'm dreading the (inevitable) Thunderbirds craft redesigns."
Details are sparse about the new show but ITV has confirmed Gone Girl star Rosamund Pike will be voicing Lady Penelope.
Fonejacker and Four Lions star Kayvan Novak will provide the voice for Tracey Island's boffin-in-residence Brains.
And Game of Thrones and Love Actually actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster will voice John Tracy.
Meanwhile, actor David Graham – who voiced Gordon Tracy, Brains, Parker and Kyrano in the original 32-episode run of Thunderbirds – is set to return to the new series to voice nosey chauffeur Parker.
One Twitter user summed up the feelings of many online today, simply posting: "They've just ruined Thunderbirds."
