If indie-rock was divided into a Jets vs. Sharks style rivalry, there would have been some major knife-wielding between the Eggheads and the Hippies. Noise bands and laptop-wielding wonks would have gathered on the former's side, celebrating new technologies and nuanced sounds that aim for the brain more than the ear. Folk singers and jam bands would have gathered on the latter's side, trumpeting organic instrumentation and melodies tailor-made for twirling around in your muumuu.
Except, nearly a decade ago, Animal Collective joined both sides. The group's members — avey Tare, Panda Bear, Deakin, and the Geologist, all named after inside-jokes — layered Phish-worthy improvisations and harmonies with digital gurgles and squishes, and the cold industrial pulse of musique concrete. In the process, they found virtues both eggheads and hippies could appreciate: namely, the joys of experimentation, and the importance of making music that's deeply enriched by bong hits.
Originally released as limited-edition albums and later reissued together by the English label Fat Cat, 2000's Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished and 2001's Danse Manatee may be the group's most abstract and polarizing works. Spirit begins with a blast of digital static, perhaps to weed out anyone searching for a Hot 100 single. (The band once admitted that after receiving the album, their label called to ask, "Is there something wrong with this? This music makes our dogs run out of the room.") And Danse's "Ahhh Good Country" is neither country, nor good – just the endless chirping of what sounds like extremely agitated crickets. Migraine triggers abound: hammer-on-drainpipe percussion, extremely high-pitched electronics, chaotic arrangements that suggest Animal Collective might have set a dozen gibbons loose on Pro Tools just to see what would happen. But for the very patient, there's also moments of real beauty, like the insect-like skitter-scatter beat of "Chocolate Girl," or the sad piano refrain of "Penny Dreadfuls." Adrift in so much flotsam and jetsam, they're only hooks in the sense that they offer something solid to hang onto.
Animal Collective abandoned electronic instrumentation completely for 2003's stripped-down Campfire Songs, their only real foray into neo-folk. Recorded live on three mini-disc recorders, while the band was playing on a porch in rural Maryland, it rustles with the wind, rain, birds, and dogs outside, adding texture to the shamanic vocals and rhythmic acoustic guitar that make up each track. The album title may be sarcastic: there's nothing here that Boy Scouts could sing along to. But with no choruses, no drums, and no bravado, the ambient strumming feels like a total surrender of ego — the perfect soundtrack for gazing up at the stars and losing yourself among them.
Animal Collective explored a more studio-labored recording process on Here Comes the Indian, released the same year as Campfire Songs, with far more claustrophobic results. Admitting that 2003 was a tough year — money was sparse, Panda Bear's father was ill, other members were considering leaving the band — the Geologist once explained that the album represented "the absolute heart of that darkness." Avey Tare played his electric guitar through a delay pedal and pitch shifter to create a doubled sound, while the rest of the band processed various effects through a Roland synthesizer and vocoder, and the effect is deeply unnerving. It's fitting that one track, appropriately titled "Panic," features the band crying like grieving Apaches, their voices melting into demonic tones, while a continuous beeping on "Two Sails on a Sound" appears to be transmitting an S.O.S. message. Brown acid, meet brain.
By the end of 2003, the main question facing Animal Collective was how to make challenging music more pleasant and pleasant music more challenging. The solution: Focus on songs, not sounds. Artfully fractured but still brimming with sunny pop, 2004's Sung Tongs smeared together choirboy harmonies, open-tuned folk hymns, hypnotic drumming and gentle kraut-rock undulations into a marvelous Day-Glo tapestry. The highlight was "Winter Love," which began with a haunting surf-pop lullabye that could've made Brian Wilson nostalgic for his sandbox. On 2005's Feels, melodies and snippets of discernable lyrics drifted in and out of focus like sailboats through a fog. With song titles like "Daffy Duck" and "Bees," the lyrics were often childlike, and the temperaments were too. Bursts of angry reverb interrupted calm autoharp strums. Animalistic yelps gave way to soothing, sparkling electronics. Through it all, band practiced their best magic trick: taking madly-strummed guitars — the hallmark of so much aggressive punk — and making them sound delicate.
Animal Collective were quickly evolving from a limited-edition underground band to an indie success. 2007's Strawberry Jam broadened their appeal even further: This was a true rock & roll record — for them, at least. More than any of their other works, the vocals are dry and clear, pushed to the front of the mix so that actual lyrics are easily discernable for the first time. All the dreamy acoustic reverie has turned cold and industrial, with harsh keyboards, guitars, and electronics taking on a metallic vibe. Even the song structures feel mechanized, sending pattern after pattern down the assembly line. Meanwhile, the childlike wonder of Feels has aged — now the band was obsessed with responsibility and mortality. "Life was good, now death's all wrong/Cause you can't feel a thing," Avey Tare mused on "Cuckoo Cuckoo." If Feels was drifting out into orbit, this was the comedown back to earth.
Throughout their career, Animal Collective remained masterful at synthesizing opposing impulses, making music that's both harsh and soothing, whimsical and intellectual, acoustic and electric. Their breakthrough album, 2009's Merriweather Post Pavillion, was the apotheosis of this talent: This was their big mainstream cult favorite. While it wasn't going to be their entry point into Z100 rotation, it was certainly their most listener-friendly album, loaded up with glistening synths, kaleidoscopic whirls, and gleeful daisy-chain rhythms. Like the Grateful Dead, who were once banned from the Merriweather Post Pavillion concert venue that gives the album its name, they'd evolved from arty freak-outs to pastoral grandeur. The best part? After spending the decade hunched over their computer screens, they'd finally made an album that would make them get up and dance.

You've most likely heard of botnets. Still, even with all of the references to them in the news these days, it's not easy to gain a clear understanding of what they are, and how they might be affecting you. We've taken a few of the most common questions sent in by Lavasoft News readers, and answered them in plain and simple terms. Keep reading to set the facts on botnets straight.
A botnet is a network of compromised, or infected, computers that hackers have commandeered. PCs that are part of a botnet are often referred to simply as "bots".
Botnets are part of the multilayered and profitable crimeware industry, where the initial step is to infect and take control of a targeted computer. PCs in a botnet are under the remote command and control of hackers. As part of that, hackers can take advantage of all of the resources on a machine (from personal information to bandwidth), and use it to perform malicious tasks under remote direction - all to carry out their criminal intentions.
A zombie computer is a system that has been infected and taken over remotely by cyber criminals. A collection of zombie computers makes up a botnet.
Botnets are controlled remotely by hackers to distribute spam, viruses, and theft schemes - and to hijack additional computers. The main motivation behind botnets, in recent years, is for monetary gain by cyber criminals. Once compromised, cyber criminals have complete access to the infected machine; they are able to load software onto it, or pull information off of it.
Bot herders, the hackers who control botnets, can instruct thousands of computers to follow their orders, whether it's to propagate spam messages, launch fraud schemes or to issue denial of service attacks, targeting certain, often high-profile, websites in order to make them unavailable to users. Once bot herders compile a group of compromised machines, they can sell it to fraudsters who are then capable of using the exploited machines for identity and data theft.
Most owners of compromised PC are unwitting victims, never realizing that they have allowed unauthorized access to their computers. Machines are infected without the knowledge of the computer user; usually access to the system is gained through a virus, worm, or Trojan. The symptoms of infection are generally very subtle and are not immediately apparent to the average computer user without using special tools. Still, there are telltale signs and symptoms which may indicate a problem.
For more technically-oriented computer users, bot activity can be discovered through packet sniffer tools and knowledge about different protocols, ports, Windows Registry, processes and TCP/IP. This includes:
To learn more about the specific steps you should be taking to prevent your system from becoming part of a botnet, read our next article, How To Guide: Preventing Bot Infections.

The analysis of biological data
Roberts and Co. Publishers, 2009 - Mathematics - 700 pages
The Analysis of Biological Data is a new approach to teaching introductory statistics to biology students. Whitlock and Schluter use several techniques to reach this unique audience. Throughout, they teach statistics in the context of interesting biological and medical examples; they emphasize intuitive understanding rather than an over-reliance on formulas; they focus on the data rather than the mathematical foundations of statistics; and they introduce - on a conceptual level - modern topics such as likelihood, regression, randomization, meta-analysis and the bootstrap. Instructors and students consistently praise the book's clear and engaging writing, strong visualization techniques, and the wide variety of fascinating and relevant biological examples.

I really hope that they do a super dramatic exhibition or dance next season. Carmen was amazing, but I want more!
as the tip of my pen hovered over the document i had to sign to acknowledge that i had received my stars on ice pre-show pass, i took the time to read what it said and grinned. i glanced up at the curly haired-air canada centre teller and told her, "this is so cool". she laughed. clearly written on the envelope were the words, "guest of moir".
a few days before that, i'd arrived home at midnight to find an email from stars on ice, which said that the registration for the toronto meet and greet closed at 5 p.m. i raised my dark eyes and stared out my window, wondering what to do because i wanted to meet tessa and scott. most the time, they're in another country, but on friday, they were going to be in my city, ten rows away, under the spotlight. i refocused and sent a reply to stars on ice, explaining who i was, what i did and why i wanted this chance. "is anything possible?" the next day, an img exec sends me an email saying that his team will leave a pre-show pass for me at the will call booth and "tessa and scott will try to catch up with you then." but as i stood in front of the booth, i was just so surprized to see the pass attributed to scott. i was kind of stuck on the try part. a meeting wasn't exactly guaranteed but with this neat little personal touch, i started to feel like maybe, just maybe it was possible.
read the rest here.
Wonderful interview and article Iggie. Thank you so much......very very positive. I'm thrilled that you had the chance to meet and speak with them and they recognize all the work that goes into your website, and also recognize and appreciate their fans.......Wonderful!!!!
Addicted to FSU
Cool iggie!
then they started to tell me how amazed they are with my blog. i know more about them than they do. they consult it sometimes when they have to remember something. they couldn't imagine the amount of hard work that goes into it.
So they already know it? That's so awesome.
Haha, Tessa was pointing out one of Zhulin's quotes to Scott. Love.
I realized today I forgot to add in a transcript of a youtube with Christopher Dean talking about them. I'm so mad at myself, you have no idea.
That interview was great, your rapport with them was very natural, they were incredibly sweet and I was happy seeing them so happy. The information about Stay and Jean Marc was new and interesting. I also loved how proud Scott was of Tessa.
That was absolutely wonderful. You have a wonderful way with words. You make us feel part of the interchange. I hope you are thinking journalism as a carrier.
The books also looked wonderful. So much work on the blog and books. It is very much appreciated by us fans. I always look on your blog as a resource....it's great that they do too!
Congratulations on everything. It must have been a great experience.
First of all Misha I am so happy that you got to have this experience. You deserved it so much. I asked for some light in this thread and I got a lot. I have a lot to comment on, so here goes.
They read the blog! Or they've read it. Whichever one, it made me smile regardless.then they started to tell me how amazed they are with my blog. i know more about them than they do. they consult it sometimes when they have to remember something. they couldn't imagine the amount of hard work that goes into it.
This makes me very happy to see. Hopefully they take that to next season."we delved into the meaning, not just skating, which is fun for us as performers."
This amused me because I never imagined that Tessa would wear something she herself didn't pick lol.Scott said that she probably regretted the ones other people made her wear
This just melted my heart. Seriously as if I needed another reason to love Scott anymore...amazing."before the world championships last year in nice, my doorbell rang and i went downstairs and there was no one there, but there was this ginormous bucket full of rice. it was from scott and it basically said, look at how much rice we have kiddo. we have so much training behind us and we knew that we were ready. i thought that was probably the best gift that anyone has ever given me."
I'm so glad those quotes about why Tessa is an amazing dancer were included in the book. She deserved to know this and I hope she's not so hard on herself anymore.i know tessa is hard on herself when it comes to her skating, but i was surprized at how shocked she became but i wasn't surprized at how proud scott looked.
It did. And more. I'll like to thank you too because if you hadn't reached out this wouldn't have happened. Also thank you to the other V/M fans that helped in this and helped make it happen.i couldn't help but think of all the other fans who were a part of this and, tonight, i hope that this gave you what had hoped for.
"Theyre everything in a team that we strive to be...they are to me the quintessential ice dance team of our time."~Kaitlyn Weaver
Did anyone else tear up a bit when reading the rice bucket part? That's just so touching and speaks of the remarkable partnership they share. I haven't watched the videos, they won't play on my phone. I can't wait to get home and see them all. Iggie, thank you so much once again for all the hard work and for sharing this with us. I'm so very happy that they know your blog and even read it. Amazing. Also, let me tell you, you write beautifully, I felt as if I was there myself. Beautiful.
First and foremost, I want to thank you, iggie, for doing what you did. You could've easily met them on your own, yet you went through the extra trouble to include all of us in this experience. I hope it was better than you had imagined.
I'm so happy they answered my (I'm pretty sure...I think) gift question! I'm glad it was an opening for that amazing story. That just reminds me how much of their daily lives and both their working relationship and friendship that we don't see. With every interview/clip of them in which their personalities, the more I realize how fantastic they are as just people. Needless to say, Scott is an amazing gift giver haha.
Petition for fans to conduct all interviews with them from here on out, with iggie being the main journalist? We got much more interesting replies instead of the same old set responses.
That was lovely, iggie.
thank you. the longer i took, the more i felt compelled to make it good. lol. like any writer, i could work on it endlessly, but after a while, you just have to press submit.

iggie!! It must have been so exciting actually having some personal quality time with Tessa and Scott!! I probably wouldn't be able to talk and fall asleep later if it was me
Thank you so much for doing what you do!!!
Wow.. iggie. Sweet blog. What a great fan you are!
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. Publilius Syrus
iggie, thank you so much for the video and the report, very well written and so thoughtful. Also, a thousand thanks for including us into the interview and therefore making it also very special to us. I am so happy for you experience and that they were so opened.
Wonderful job, iggie! It's clear that you are a passionate fan of these 2 and I can only imagine what a thrill it must have been to meet them, present them with those books and get the chance to ask them questions. Thanks for sharing!
I too teared up a bit abour the rice incident. It is really so sweet and bears out what we fans have always said on the board about Scott's softer side!

Stewart's began years ago when Elmo Stewart
was inadvertently thrown overboard while tying down a masthead onboard one of
the many schooners that plied the waters of the Cape in search of Right Whales.
He drifted on the tide until he washed ashore on what is now Coast Guard Beach
in Eastham.
Nah, that's not quite true. Fact is, I'm a washashore like many here on the
Cape who come down and fell in love with it. As an executive chef for many years
from one coast to the other and all parts in between, I loved the feel of the
Cape and Islands, so here we are.
My wife Karen has been with me for over 20 years
and she is my guiding light. In her company I am made to realize the beauty and
good fortune of marriage and partnership. She is my beacon.
We encourage you to let us know how you like our little Seafood Restaurant
and what we can do to make it better. We will be featuring adult music and
various entertainers throughout the summer. This is our first year together as a
team so please be patient or we'll throw you out. Nah, only kidding. We
appreciate your business and hope to earn your trust and see you again and again
as we are Stewart's Seafood Restaurant, a Cape Cod Restaurant with a twist.
We also encourage you to partake of some of the finest, freshest seafood that
you can purchase while on the Cape at our neighbor's place next door, Mac's
Seafood Shop. Find Mac's down in Wellfleet too, you won't be disappointed.

Mark Schlachtenhaufen
EDMOND — Whether it is betting on horses at a race track, playing slot machines at a casino or playing a hand of Texas Hold 'Em, there is a corresponding element of chance that gives many gamblers a "rush."
That rush can be as addictive as drugs.
Gamblers have numerous outlets — sports, poker, the Internet, lotteries, bingo, games of skill, games of chance.
State Attorney General Drew Edmondson, a candidate for governor, has said he thinks Internet gambling is illegal in Oklahoma. And Edmondson wants federal legislation clarifying Internet gambling laws.
Yet Oklahoma contains many gambling outlets, including the state-run lottery, more than 80 tribal casinos and two "racinos," horsetracks with casinos, as of 2007.
Another casino soon could be coming to central Oklahoma.
The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs is considering the Shawnee tribe's request to put land near Remington Park into trust. If the bureau agrees, the tribe plans to build a Las Vegas-style hotel and casino.
Tribal leaders said economic analyses indicate the project would have a $354 million annual positive impact on Oklahoma City. Opponents say it would be bad news, perhaps fatal, for Remington Park.
It also could create more compulsive gamblers in Edmond. Studies show compulsive gambling doubles in areas within 50 miles of a casino.
Many individuals gamble as a form of entertainment. However, an estimated 75,000 Oklahomans become intoxicated by the win and continue spending to win back their losses, according to the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
Problem gamblers can lose control, become guilt-ridden and desperate, said Caletta McPherson, deputy commissioner for ODMHSAS' Substance Abuse Services. Their families suffer too, she said.
Pathological and problem gambling affects financial institutions, the criminal justice system due to more embezzlement, fraud and domestic violence charges, and human service agencies, McPherson said. It also leads to debt, bankruptcy, divorce, illegal activities, child neglect and suicide.
Individuals also are losing their homes and their retirement funds, McPherson said.
With the large number of casinos in the state, Oklahomans need to know that there will be a growing number of individuals with gambling problems, McPherson said.
Stats on Edmond youth
In Oklahoma, youth are growing up in a time in which some forms of gambling have been legal during their entire lives.
And many Edmond youth are gambling.
Of the roughly 2,800 high school seniors and sophomores in Edmond, about three out of four have gambled during the past year, according to the 2006 Oklahoma Prevention Needs Assessment Survey by the ODMHSAS.
Furthermore, almost half of Edmond 12th-graders and nearly one-third of 10th-graders played the lottery.
Also, 45.6 percent of 12th-graders and 46.9 percent of 10th-graders bet on cards. About one in four seniors and sophomores bet on games of skill and on sports.
A much higher number of 12th-graders, 18 percent, than 10th-graders, 3.8 percent, gambled at a casino.
Effects on business
Edmond resident Jon Cook is a chaplain for the Edmond Police Department. Cook also ministers to employees of 18 businesses in four states — Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Missouri.
Cook said some workers are gambling away their paychecks, and companies are being adversely affected. He said when he once called a prospective client from a large company the first question was about how to handle employees with gambling problems.
Gambling affects employee morale and issues like employee retention, Cook said.
Cook said Internet poker is an issue especially among males college age on up. McPherson agreed.
McPherson said 10 percent of adults meet the criteria for pathological gambling.
The warning signs of problem gambling include: thinking constantly about gambling; increasing bets to sustain the thrill; exhibiting agitation when cutting back on gambling; gambling as an escape; "chasing" or trying to offset losses with more gambling; lying to conceal gambling activity; financing bets through illegal acts; jeopardizing significant relationships with family.
Exhibiting five or more of those compulsive gambling symptoms may indicate a gambling problem.
Jim Scroggins, executive director of the Oklahoma Lottery, said officials are seeking ways to increase public awareness about the warning signs of problem gambling and the help that is available.
Scroggins said it is important for Oklahomans to understand these signs so they can know if and when someone has a gambling problem.
According to the National Council on Problem Gambling, six to nine million Americans will have a gambling problem in any given year, but only a small fraction will seek out services, such as treatment and self-help recovery programs.
In fiscal year 2008, 264 individuals received low- or no-cost treatment services through 11 ODMHSAS-certified treatment programs.
In the first week of March,during the 7th Annual Problem Gambling Awareness Week, the Oklahoma Lottery announced that it had contributed more than $1 million to the ODMHSAS toward education and treatment of compulsive gambling.

So how many omega-3 fatty acids are enough — and how should you get them? That likely depends on your age and your specific health concerns.
The United States does not yet have guidelines for DHA or EPA, and consensus among nutrition experts is elusive. But specialty groups, some governmental agencies and individual experts have started to take a stand.

Dan Parks retires from International rugby
Date posted: 09/02/2012
As you will all now be aware, longstanding Gilbert Ambassador, Dan Parks, recently announced his immediate retirement from International rugby. It came following the Scotland defeat by England at Murrayfield in the RBS 6 Nations opener.
Overall Parks scored 266 points, including a Scottish record 17 drop-goals in his career and was the pivotal figure in Scotland's successes in 2010, winning a host of man-of-the-match awards and steering the side to a historic, unprecedented Test series triumph in Argentina and memorable victories against Ireland and South Africa.
"I was thinking about it but the first game of the Six Nations was against England, the auld enemy, Jacko (Ruaridh Jackson) was injured and being able to play against England was huge for me as there was a sense of unfinished business," he told www.scotlandrugbyteam.org.
"On reflection after the game, after talking it over with my family, girl-friend and close friends I've come to the decision that now is the right time to retire from the international game.
Since announcing his International retirement, there has obviously been a number of articles and posts written about Dan Parks, many highlighting the perceived flaws and limitations in his game. However, the one real consistent message that has come across this week is the huge support that has been given to Dan from his peers; the players that have shared the same International dressing room with Dan throughout his 67 Caps.
Player after player has announced their support of Dan, as a player, a team mate and a leader. In contrast to many of the reports that have been written, each and every player that has spoken has commented on the unfair treatment that Dan has received throughout a turbulent International career. Indeed, in a recent article in the Telegraph, former International team mate Sean Lamont said: "Dan has been the most unfairly hounded player in a Scottish jersey, ever, without a shadow of doubt", before pointing out that "Parksy had something like six of the last nine man-of-the-match awards, and yet he still got the pelters he got last weekend. It's just not fair."
From an International perspective, Dan should not be remembered for the unfair criticism or blame he has been given over the years, but as the man who steered Scotland through the 2007 Rugby World Cup and fought his way back into the International team after an 18 month exile and brilliantly marshalling his troops throughout the 2010 season. Dan picked up an unprecedented 3 Man of the Match awards from 4 games in the 2010 6 Nations, plus a series win over Argentina and a test win over the then World Champions South Africa. I think 'Big' Jim Hamilton summed it up best in his article in the Scotsman: "My fondest memory will be that kick he took in the 79th minute in Croke Park where he bisected the posts in a howling wind, which allowed us all to celebrate being winners in Ireland. Argentina, South Africa, England … you have highlights some people can only dream about, Parksy, and I wish you well."
Thanks Dan, from all at Gilbert, it has been a pleasure.

Our ANI guides have a passion for wild places and adventure. They are equally at home climbing, skiing, and camping out in extreme conditions. They thrive on sharing these experiences with others - and - they are a lot of fun to be with!
We caught up with ANI guide Seth Timpano at his home base in Seattle, WA and asked him about guiding for ANI.
Seth Timpano
Role: ANI mountain and ski guide
Number of seasons with ANI: Three
Previous experience: Guiding Denali, Aconcagua, Mount Rainier, and other US Pacific Northwest peaks. Personal mountaineering expeditions to South America, the Himalayas, Alaska, Kyrgyzstan, New Zealand and other destinations.
Why did you want to work in the Antarctic? What was the attraction?
Antarctica is one of the most extreme and remote places on the planet. It has endless potential for adventure and a unique beauty that is unsurpassed. It always has, and always will, captivate my imagination.
How and when did you start working for ANI? How did your previous experience prepare you for Antarctic guiding?
I started working for ANI in 2010. I previously guided dozens of trips on Mount Rainier in Washington State in addition to leading expeditions around the world. Ultimately, various trips in Alaska refined my skills, ready for Mount Vinson and other cold, high peaks in the Ellsworth Mountains. I learn something new every day I spend in Antarctica, and it has in turn enhanced my guiding skills.
What are your greatest challenges as a guide in Antarctica?
Risk management is always the main challenge. Although the likelihood of incidents may be low, the consequences in Antarctica can be much higher than anywhere else given the remote location and potential for severe weather. So as a guide, I am constantly trying to provide the safest and most enjoyable experience for guests in an environment that has extreme consequences.
What do you love best about your work with ANI?
I love the variety of guiding opportunities while working in Antarctica. Guiding Mount Vinson, skiing to the South Pole, providing logistical support for science projects, and guiding the local peaks near Union Glacier make it an awesome place to spent three months.
Describe your ideal guided ski/climb…
My ideal climb & ski would be to land on a remote glacier in the Ellsworth Mountains and set up camp near the landing strip. From there it would be great to ski up a massive Antarctic glacier to a large, unclimbed alpine face. Then launch upward, climbing rock, snow and ice in alpine-style to the summit of a remote peak in Antarctica! Finally we would descend back down the following day and enjoy good skiing all the way back to the plane, the perfect cherry on top of a great climb.
What tips can you give ANI guests planning a trip to Antarctica?
Practice training by pulling a sled or a heavy tire in the sand well before your trip. Not only is it a great endurance work out, but will awaken some muscles you did not know you had! Two of my favorite pieces of gear are my R1 hoodie fleece and my hoodini windshirt. Lastly, keep your mind open and expect to have an experience of a lifetime!
What do you do for the rest of the year, when you are not in the Antarctic?
During the 'off-season' I guide in Alaska and in the Pacific Northwest and each year, participate in a personal alpine climbing trip to places such as Patagonia, Nepal and Kyrgyzstan.

"Perhaps not a look for everyday wear, the pastel up-dos Odile Gilbert created for Thakoon turned heads nonetheless. First sprinkling clay powder into the hair, Gilbert then painted on wet clay in vibrant pinks, blues and violets, creating a look that brought to mind a modern-day Marie Antoinette. At Julien Macdonald hair was slicked back before being coated in red, white or black paint, whilst at Topshop Unique it was lashings of honey (yes, honey!) and then real gold leaf painted on top."

At 1200 GMT, the Bank of England (BoE) announced a 1.5% reduction of the official bank rate, while interbank lending rates fell further.
The BoE's decision to cut the bank rate by 1.5 percentage points to 3% was designed to address "a sharp slowdown in the economy, associated with weak real income growth and the tightening in the supply of credit".
The bank said that it "judged that a significant reduction in the bank rate was necessary now in order to meet the 2% target for consumer price index (CPI) inflation in the medium term".
Today's move by the BoE is the latest in a series of initiatives by central banks to prevent a financial meltdown. The US Federal Reserve cut its benchmark federal funds rate by 50 basis points last week, while the Bank of Australia dropped its key interest rate from 6% to 5.25% this week. The European Central Bank is expected to announce its latest monetary policy initiative later this week.
Central bank decisions to slash interest rates have gone a significant way to restoring confidence in interbank lending.
Overnight sterling Libor fell 0.5 percentage points from 4.5% yesterday to 4.0% today. Euro Libor decreased to 3.46% from 3.48% yesterday, while dollar borrowing costs rose from 0.31% to 0.33%
In the three-month markets, sterling Libor and dollar Libor both fell 0.12 percentage points from 5.68% to 5.56% and 2.51% to 2.39% respectively. Euro three month Libor dropped from 4.65% yesterday to 4.60% today
The Ted spread, which tracks the difference between three-month Libor and US Treasury bills, also fell today from 2.12% at the close of trading yesterday to 2.01% at 1300 GMT today.

text: In a small, deep skillet or a small saucepan, combine the oil, shallots, and garlic. Warm over medium-high heat until the garlic sizzles. Add the fish sauce, sugar, Caramel Sauce, water, and pepper and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring now and then, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens a bit, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the salmon steaks and let the sauce return to a gentle boil. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Carefully turn the steaks over, add the green onions, and cook for 5 minutes more. Transfer the fish steaks to a shallow serving bowl, sauce and all. Serve hot or warm.


text: Finances is one of those words that causes your heartbeat to accelerate, your body to start sweating and your eyes to fog over but, like it or not, along with bank managers and taxes, it's one of those things that can't be ignored. In fact, the old saying 'Ignore it and it'll go away' relates only to teeth and nothing else. This particular fiend comes in many guises including credit cards, loans, insurance and bank accounts to name but a few. While you might think that finding a finance voucher code isn't going to happen, there are plenty out there that offer anything from reduced loan fees to special interest rate-reductions, as well as finance offers that come into play if, for example, you do it all online. You just need to know where to look and, if you're reading this, you've obviously found it.

Everything you need to know about creating a foursquare page
Foursquare today launched their new automated brand tool. It replaces the old manual process for creating a brand page with a sleek new process that allows brands to sign up within a matter of minutes and offers a number of other new features for brands, including Facebook page integration and new ways to check in to locations.
Brand pages — which currently number around 2,500 — are expected to skyrocket now that the process is simpler and doesn't require foursquare approval. Here's your guide to everything there is to know about brand pages.
Who should create a brand page?
Anyone can create a brand page. Many of the largest businesses already have them, but now they're open to small businesses and even blogs. Here are a few ideas for ways to use a brand page:
- Local food blog: leave tips pointing users to your favorite dish and use the more info link to point users to your full review of the restaurant.
- Small business: point your customers to other local businesses they should check out after they visit your store. Maybe it's your favorite coffee shop or a super lunch deal at a nearby restaurant.
- Photographer: leave tips at places where you've taken pictures before, telling users how to find the perfect angle for a skyline shot or little details to be on the lookout for. Use the more info link to point them to photos you've taken there.
Those are just a few examples of uses. Brand pages can really be used by anyone — person, business or blog — to add location-specific content for foursquare users to enjoy and associate with your business.
Who shouldn't create a brand page?
Pages aren't designed for individual users. No matter how much you want to have followers, there are a lot of drawbacks that make pages unusable for regular users, they include:
- Friends become followers: All of your friends are automatically converted to followers. That means when you pull up the friends tab, you won't be able to see where they are and you won't be able to comment on their checkins.
- No badges: Brand pages can't earn badges, plain and simple.
- No privacy: All your checkins become public on your brand page and to any of your followers. Anyone will be able to look at your page at any time and see the most recent places you've visited.
That said, there's no reason you shouldn't create a foursquare page just for your blog, your business or your hobby.
How to create your brand page
Log in to your foursquare account or create one if you're not already a member. Visit https://foursquare.com/create_page to get the process started. You'll be asked to sign in with Twitter to create your page and lock in page's username.
From here you'll be directed to set up your page. Add your header image (860 x 130 pixels), small profile image (185 x 185 pixels), description and any links you want. You can also now link your foursquare page to a Facebook page you manage, so you'll be able to share your checkins with your Facebook fans.
To be featured in the page gallery, you need to complete the above steps and add at least five tips for other users. You can add tips by clicking the "Page Management" link at the top of any foursquare screen and choosing the page you want to add tips for. Then simply visit any venue page and add a relevant tip (see below). Once you're done that, go back to your Settings page and click the check box to have your page featured in the gallery.
Tips on Tips
Your goal is to write great tips so more users will click the "I've done this" button and it will move to the top of the venue page and in turn be seen by more users. That's easier said than done. Here are a few tips for writing great, err, tips:
- Make your tips actionable: Use words like "do this…" and "order that…" Users are more likely to click "I've done this" on tips that include an action.
- Make your tips specific: Recommend one specific item or action. Don't mix a bunch together in a single tip. Users won't click "I've done this" if they've only done one third of your tip. It's OK to leave multiple relevant tips at the same venue.
- Share insider information: The best tips are the ones that leave a little nugget that most users wouldn't know about like a secret menu item or a less crowded bathroom hidden in the back.
- Use humor: foursquare users love tips that include a little bit of levity. It makes your brand look smart and hip, too.
- Don't write reviews: Tips aren't the place for reviews. They're for providing specific tips and recommendations to other users. If your tip simply says "This place is great!" users won't click the "I've done this button."
- Don't spam: Foursquare tips aren't the place to post irrelevant tips that do nothing but refer users to your business. Users will report your tips to foursquare and they will be removed, so don't waste your time.
- Don't repeat your tips: Don't add the same tip to every venue in town. It's a form of spamming and will get your tips removed. Put a little thought into it and create fresh tips for each venue.
Checking in
It's not just foursquare users that get to check in to the places they go. Pages can get in on the action, too. There are two new ways to check in that are exclusively for pages:
- Mobile web: The foursquare.com/touch interface now allows brand pages to check in on the go. To get started, visit this page on your mobile phone (you'll want to bookmark it) . Click the "act as" button to choose the page you'd like to check in as. Search for the nearby venue you'd like to check in to and click "check in." You'll then see a familiar box allowing you to add a shout and push your checkin to Twitter or Facebook.
- Website: It's perfectly appropriate for pages to check in to places where their manager isn't physically present. MTV, for example, might check in at their Video Music Awards while the page manager is at their offices in NY. For those reasons, pages can now check in from the web. When you're acting as a page, you'll see a new "Check in at this venue" link on each venue page. Click it to see options to shout and add a photo to your checkin.
Promote your page
Once you've stocked your page with a few tips, it's time to start promoting it and gaining followers.
- Use your other social media channels like Twitter and Facebook to point your fans to the page and ask them to follow you.
- Put links in your email newsletters, email signatures, and websites.
- Include the foursquare logo anywhere you include the Facebook and Twitter logos, like signs, flyers and billboards. Your Twitter username and foursquare username are the same, so users will be able to find you easily.
- Use the "Save to foursquare" button to add your tips to any relative blog posts. If you're a food blogger, for instance, include the button in your review with link to your tip at that restaurant. It makes it easy for users to add it to their to-do list and discover your foursquare page. You'll find the embed code underneath the tip by clicking the ">" button.

There has been some out cry that the Shields Mayhem fight was boring last Saturday, Now that is a subjective matter I personally was entertained by it. I had it as my Fight of the Night not Fedor Rogers it was really just a forgone conclusion of who would win that one. The fight went the distance a full 25 minutes to a decision. This isn't because Shields cant sub guys his last 5 fights not including the one with Mayhem 4 ended with a Submission and one even via TKO. The Way the fight went down is completely on Millers shoulders due to his poor takedown defense and his inability to make it into a brawl. If he had been able to stop the take downs and make this a striking contest he would of most likely won.
Strikeforce will put him back on CBS for 2 reasons. Shields is one of the few top 10 fighters they have that isn't in there heavy weight division. With news that Fedor will be out up to 4-6 months due to injuries Strikeforce has lost one of there possible top draws. Now Shields cant pull a whole show by himself, he has just barley more personality then Bobby Lashley. He is though one of there few active Champions and title fights sell better then non title fights unless its a big match up. If he is paired up with one of there other guaranteed draws in Gina Carano they could pull some decent numbers,
This would also force CBS and Strikeforce, who I'm sure had some input into how the marketing was done to change up how the built the fight. For Saturdays show it was all FEDOR FEDOR FEDOR or FEDOR ROGERS , my family who had scene commercials and watched it with me were amazed that there were more fights, they aren't the biggest MMA fans though either. Now I hate comparing Strikeforce to UFC since its just not a fair comparison. They are no where near the same level of exposure and recognition . You don't hear people calling MMA Strikeforce do you? Where they can learn from UFC though is that it has the best hype machine across the board from MMA to Pro Wrestling. They don't just try to sell a show on 1 guy or 1 fight now it does help to have that 1 guy and 1 fight . In the adds they also say "and" as a example Rothwell Cain . UFC promotes the card now not the entire card but they do promote more then just 1 fight. This is something CBS and Strikeforce will have to correct.
If Strikeforce were able to pair Shields up with either Mousasi and have them both defend there titles on the same show hopefully they could pull better then Elite XC's second show as a bare minimum. It wouldn't pull Kimbo numbers but it should get them to there next show.
I like Kimbo and all he seems very likeable and down to earth on TUF . What does it say for your sport though when he is your most watched fighter and not Fedor, Brock, GSP, BJ, the Spider?

Momentum the key for Wolves move to Worcester Arena
12:40pm Saturday 24th November 2012 in Worcester Wolves
WITH just four home games left before the end of 2012, it is important Worcester Wolves start to gather momentum ready for our move to Worcester Arena.
We entertain Sheffield Sharks tonight (7pm) having won our last four British Basketball League matches at the University of Worcester.
Now it's time to push on. There are some really tough games ahead at home — Sheffield Sharks, Newcastle Eagles, Glasgow Rocks and Plymouth Raiders in the BBL Trophy — but it's a great opportunity to build momentum if we can beat them.
Success breeds success and, with that, the supporters will turn up so we've got to really keep that going.
The fans have been excellent and when they come out to support us it does give the team a lift and makes us want to play better and win for them as well.
People want to follow successful teams, regardless of what sport it is, and what we're trying to do is make the Worcester Wolves club a success and we went a long way to doing that last season.
I still think we're there or thereabouts this year given the unfortunate circumstances we're in at the moment without Sherrad Prezzie-Blue.
He was the first person to commit to the club for this season and, with him doing that, I built a team around him.
It's hurt us that he's not here, without question.
We're not doing too badly in the league but it could have been so much better.
It's frustrating for everybody involved with the club — the players were expecting to have him here controlling the play.
Playing at the Arena will also allow us to host matches for Sky Sports which will be a chance for the team to get some exposure to showcase their talents.
Our match at London Lions last night will be shown next Tuesday but we can't stage televised matches at our current home.
So the Arena will give the club an opportunity to show what we can do and for our supporters to highlight how they get behind the team.
It gives everybody — the local community, our sponsors and the University of Worcester — a chance to gain more exposure to a wider audience.
There's also a lot of people from mainland Europe watching these games on television.
Some of our players will possibly be looking at other opportunities after this season to raise their profile and it's an ideal opportunity for them to do that as well.

Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage and Vanilla
Serves 2-4 people
For the gnocchi:
1 C canned or fresh pumpkin puree
½ C tapioca starch
½ C sorghum flour, finely milled
½ C white rice flour, finely milled
½ t xanthan or guar gum
1 t fine sea salt
1 generous pinch nutmeg (optional)
Extra rice flour for dusting
To finish the gnocchi:
2 T soy-free buttery spread or butter
Fresh sage leaves or ½ t dried sage
1 t Enjoy Life Crunchy Sugar Cookie crumbs
Salt to taste
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, if tolerated
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil on the stove.
In a mixer, combine all of the ingredients for the gnocchi. Mix until smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed. Allow to sit for five minutes.
Dust a flat surface with a little bit of rice flour. Take a handful of dough and roll out into a coil, about 1/2" to ¾" in diameter. With a knife cut into pieces about ½" thick. Set aside, or, if ambitious, use a fork to shape the gnocchi by rolling each piece across the fork to create the indents found in classic gnocchi. Repeat until all dough is used.
When ready to cook, drop all the gnocchi into the rapidly boiling water, stirring to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan. After a minute or two the gnocchi will rise. Once all have risen, cook for 1-2 more minutes and drain.
Meanwhile, set a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add buttery spread to pan (if using butter, do the same but cook butter until it browns a bit). Stir in sage and cookie crumbs. Toss in gnocchi and coat each side with a little bit of the buttery spread. Add more spread if there is not enough to coat each piece. Without moving the pan, allow each piece to cook until slightly browned, about 2-4 minutes depending on the heat of your stove.
Serve immediately. Garnish with cheese if tolerated.

WOW! I haven't had gnocchi in years because I cannot eat gluten and have yet to find a gluten free dairy packaged one. This recipe is gluten free!! I can't wait to try it!!! Possibly for dinner tonight
I have been gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, cchooloate and coffee-free for almost a year. Feel great, lost 25# and don't miss any of the above. However, one thing I've noticed w/most gluten-free recipes is that they have quite a bit of sugar in the recipes. If I have to use sugar, I'll substitute palm (coconut) sugar or agave in some cases. They have a low glycemic index, but are not as sweet. Once your tastebuds get used to less sugar, it's fine, but sugar adds weight and contributes to many illnesses as disease can only thrive in an acidic environment which sugar provides. So I'd like to see less sugar used in recipes or conversions made available for those of us who are hypo-glycemic, diabetic, etc. Thanks! Mary
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I love gnocchi and have missed it since going gluten, dairy, corn and potato free. I will definitely be making these for dinner…this week, if not tomorrow!
I must be the only Aussie who doesn't own a grill. And my kitchen gets super hot on real semumr days too (we only have a few of those in semumr in the Bay Area). Grilled gnocchi: Never would have thought of that. Might just have to try it.
Have to try these, too … love gnocchi, since my daughter is gluten-free i assumed it was something i wasn't going to have too often … thank you !
This recipe sounds wonderful! I cant wait to try it. I crave pumpkin in the fall, but most recipes are for desserts. Thank you so much!

It'd be hard to argue there hasn't been a growing rivalry between and Gloucester Catholic teams over the past several years, but it's a little different with boys' lacrosse.
For Eagles senior Nick Baud and Rams junior Nick Lanciano, it's not just a team rivalry—it's a battle for who's best on the block.
"We've been friends since birth," Lanciano said. "I've been playing with him my whole life, then all of a sudden, playing against him, it's kind of weird."
The longtime friends and neighbors may be warriors on the field—and in a physical, grind-it-out game under the lights Thursday night, there was plenty of back-and-forth between them—but as soon as they cross the sideline afterward, it's back to being the friends who've lived down the street from each other forever.
"We're going after each other as hard as we can—we're not going to hold back, but we're not going to play cheap," Baud said. "It's a good little battle we have out there."
Both players said the intensity ramps up when they face each other, and that was reflected across both squads in a tight, 7-5 win for West Deptford that saw the two teams hammer at each other for every goal.
And the rivalry goes beyond just Baud and Lanciano, as West Deptford coach Mike Yarusso pointed out. Many of the players grew up playing either with or against one another in youth leagues before heading to high school, and now play for bragging rights the rest of the season.
"They don't see each other but a couple times a year," Yarusso said. "It becomes a little more than just the game."
And it's not just the players, either. West Deptford grads Eric Gendron and Mike Nahas are the offensive and defensive coordinators for Gloucester Catholic this year, intertwining the programs in another way.
"They've done a real nice job helping (Gloucester Catholic) grow," Yarusso said. "They know our system pretty well."
The Rams certainly played like it, coming back from a 4-0 deficit early to tie the game and put all the pressure on West Deptford under the lights at the football stadium.
Neither team was able to force a big momentum shift, due at least in part to a slew of penalties on both sides, and the game became a methodical chess match more than the run-and-gun when the two met earlier this season.
Zach Kaestner and Mike Reardon drove the offense for West Deptford, scoring three goals each, while Brendan Gill was a brick wall in the net, turning away 30 Gloucester Catholic shots through the course of the game.
"They gave us all we could handle today," Yarusso said "They go out there and they're playing with every piece of emotion they have."

How do you know what parts of your presentation are most enticing and what parts drag, or how intriguing your cold call opener really is, or what was the deciding factor to turn your last prospect into a customer? The only way to know for sure is to ask the buyer himself.
Asking questions is a key part of the sales process because it enables you to collect the information you require to build a strong case for your product. If you don't know what the prospect needs, you can't design a pitch for them. But asking questions doesn't have to end at the close.
Your approach for collecting feedback can be as formal or informal as you like. All you need is a system that collects key information from your customers about their experience on the buyer's side of the table. A formal approach might be to send a written survey or direct the customer to a web page that they can fill out with their feedback. If you prefer a less formal method, you can simply call the customer or send them a simple email.
Whatever the approach you prefer, you'll need to ask roughly the same questions. Your goal is to get honest feedback from the customer about each stage of the sales process. Some sample questions would include:
- What motivated you to set an appointment with me?
- What do you remember best about my sales presentation?
- What were the things you liked best about the presentation? What did you dislike about it?
- How much did you know about my company before I reached out to you?
- If someone asked you about your purchase today, what would you tell them?
- Are you happy with your purchase at this point? Why or why not?
- What did you think of my overall style?
The questions that will be most valuable to you are the ones that identify issues with your sales process. So if you're having a lot of trouble with cold calling, ask more questions about the customer's perception of you during your initial call. If you struggle at the close, dig into what your successful converts saw and heard that convinced them to buy. And if a customer called you first, ask where they heard of you and why they decided to reach out.
If you never seem to get any negative feedback, it's probably not because your sales process is perfect. Some customers will hesitate to say anything negative about you for fear of causing problems or hurting your feelings. If you run into this problem, you might want to arrange for a third party to send out the surveys. Ask this third party to assure customers that their identities will be kept in confidence. This isn't quite as effective for altering your approach since you won't know which presentation elicited what responses, but it's a lot better than nothing.
Prospects who don't buy are an even more valuable source of feedback than customers, because they can give you information about what you did wrong to lose the sale. But it can be more difficult to get them to open up to you, since they have no reason to do so and, like customers, probably don't want to upset you. Again, an anonymous survey can help you collect some information.
Always take responses with a grain of salt. If one survey comes back saying that you were rude and impatient, don't give it a lot of consideration. But if you get several such surveys, you definitely have a problem. The more surveys you get that mention a specific issue, the more seriously you should take it.

A woman was charged Tuesday with murder and other counts stemming from last week's shooting death of a man outside a church in the Westlake district of Los Angeles, where she was allegedly spray-painting red graffiti.
Janeth Lopez, 22, pleaded not guilty Tuesday afternoon in Los Angeles Superior Court in connection with the Nov. 4 slaying of Andres Ordonez, 25, outside the Iglesia Principe de Paz church in the 3000 block of West Beverly Boulevard.
According to KPCC, Lopez was taken into custody on Thursday on a probation violation. She had been deemed to be a person of interest in the case.
KPCC says she is not charged with shooting Ordonez, but faces murder charges stemming from her presence at the scene.
The Rampart detective assigned to the case said leads from the community led to Lopez's arrest.
Along with murder, Lopez is charged with two counts of attempted murder--one involving a second male church member who was wounded and the other involving a man who was fired upon but not struck--and one misdemeanor count of vandalism.
Lopez was ordered to remain jailed on $2.5 million bail pending her next court appearance Dec. 4.
If convicted, she faces up to life in prison, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Police said Ordonez, who worked as a cook, and the wounded victim emerged from the storefront church about 6:20 p.m. to try to stop a woman from spray painting graffiti on a wall when a gunman -- who is still being sought -- got out of a vehicle and opened fire.
Lopez allegedly jumped in a waiting vehicle with the gunman, also believed to be a gang member, and a possible third person, and fled after the shooting.
Ordonez's widow, who is three months pregnant with their second child, told reporters last week that she had been sitting in a car in a parking lot by the church, not feeling well.
Anna Ordonez, who is a granddaughter of the church's pastor, said her husband came upon the tagger around the time he was coming out to check on her.
The Los Angeles City Council a week ago unanimously approved a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the gunman.
A sign at the church identified it as part of the Movimiento Pentocostal Hispano. Its congregation is composed mostly of Guatemalan and Central American immigrants.
A fund at Bank of America is accepting donations to help the Ordonez family.

BOISE — Before it celebrated its overtime win Saturday night at Taco Bell Arena, the Boise State men's basketball team had to watch UNLV do it first.
An all-too-familiar feeling of anguish filled Taco Bell Arena as UNLV mobbed Deville Smith following his apparent game-winner at the buzzer after the Broncos took a 91-90 lead with 3.3 seconds to play.
The Boise State men's basketball team stood shellshocked, along with the crowd of 9,010. Leading scorer Anthony Drmic couldn't stand to watch, bee-lining to the locker room.
Just that feeling of them rushing on the court, tackling each other, it was like, Here we go again, senior Ryan Watkins said.
I thought it counted, so I was crushed, said junior Derrick Marks, the would-be hero who had 13 points in overtime.
Twice in the prior six games at Taco Bell Arena, the visiting team had defeated Boise State with a last-second shot.
But not on Saturday.
Smiths buzzer-beater was waved off after a few minutes of review, giving Boise State the 91-90 overtime win, the Broncos third straight. Coach Leon Rice, after meeting with referees who said the shot was after the buzzer, crouched down and thrust both fists in the air in celebration, sending the crowd wild before the referees made it official.
Its like being in a murder trial and Im the defendant and I have to wait for the guilty or not guilty, Rice said. Ive never seen a basketball game, that Ive been involved in, end like that.
The review showed the ball had not quite left Smiths hand as it was fired up.
Im 1,000 percent sure it was on his fingertips, referee Randy McCall said.
Boise State (18-9, 8-6), which had trailed 74-66 with 3 minutes, 35 seconds to play, stormed back to force overtime with two Ryan Watkins free throws that made it 78-78 with 35.6 seconds left. A Smith jumper with 2 seconds left in regulation missed, and the Rebels (17-10, 8-6) couldnt put it back.
Marks, who had just four points in regulation, scored all 13 of the Broncos points in the extra frame, including a fadeaway jumper with 3.3 seconds left that would prove to be the real game-winner.
My teammates told me it was my time, and even though I had a bad 40 minutes, I had a good five minutes in me, said Marks, who was 5-for-5 from the field in overtime.
The Broncos had led by 11 with 3:48 to play on Feb. 1 at UNLV before losing 73-69. This time, Boise State was on the other side of heartbreak.
This team, weve been through so much heartbreak that were not satisfied, Watkins said. We know now, no matter how much were down with 5 minutes left, we can still come back, because weve been in a position where weve been up and came back on. We know weve got to keep fighting, and thats what we did.
Be it Marks late heroics, Watkins 22 points and 15 rebounds or Drmics 22 points, the Broncos had no shortage of standout performances.
I challenged my guys with about 8 minutes to go, and they responded, Rice said of his team, which was down 66-57 with 8:21 left. all our guys stepped up and made huge plays. Without them, we dont win.
To force overtime, the Broncos allowed one field goal in the last 4:21, while Drmic had seven points in that span, including a 3-pointer with 46 seconds left that made it 78-76.
It just shows how much weve grown as a team, Marks said. We all knew we didnt want to lose that game, we just dug down deep, played that much harder and came out on top.
Saturdays win, coupled with a Wyoming loss, creates a three-way tie for third place in the Mountain West with Boise State, UNLV and Wyoming all at 8-6 in league play, a proposition that seemed far out even two weeks ago.
Weve battled our way back to where we want to be, Rice said.

Disney Family Movies
For the month of October Disney Family Movies is offering one free month when you sign up! The participating cable providers are Mediacom, Cox and AT & T U-verse. You can read more details here, in my Disney Family Movies special treat for October post.
We're highlighting one family flick per day that's currently playing on Disney Family Movies. Today it's the story of two unlikely pals, 1981's animated classic The Fox & the Hound.
In 1960 Walt Disney himself signed then 10-year-old Kurt Russell to a Disney contract, and for the Studios Russell appeared in some if its most memorable live action fare: 1968's The One And Only, Genuine, Original Family Band, 1969's The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, 1971's The Barefoot Executive (opposite funnyman John Ritter), and many Disneyland and Wonderful World of Disney television programs.
Mickey Rooney— who's been working in Hollywood since the age of since the age of 6— appeared at the age of 91 in last year's Walt Disney Pictures' film The Muppets. He appeared in the 1977 Disney classic Pete's Dragon. Speaking of Rooney, Disney and hounds, here's a caricature of Mickey Rooney, with Donald Duck, from 1939:
The Fox & the Hound, loosely inspired by the novel written by Daniel P. Mannix, tells the tale of Copper the hound dog, who becomes B.F.F.'s with Tod the fox. However, when the two grow up they are taught to hate each other, as Tod the fox is hunted by a party that includes the rancher Amos Slade (Jack Albertson) and Copper the hound dog. Copper and Tod go on many an adventure— including battling a ferocious bear!— and ultimately their natural friendship triumphs over the hatred that is attempted to breed in them. A beautiful, thrilling and even funny animated movie, The Fox & the Hound is the perfect Disney classic to gather the family with, and discuss friendship, respect and trust— the Disney way!
Be sure to watch the Disney Family Movies YouTube channel for videos on how to get One Month Free http://bit.ly/DFMYouTube.
Disney Family Movie Trivia:
- The Fox & the Hound is the animated film that constituted a changing of the guard for Walt Disney Animation, with legendary "Nine Old Men" animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston (the subject of the amazing documentary Frank and Ollie) on their last film, and young turks John Lassetter (currently the chief creative officer of Walt Disney Animation and Pixar), Don Bluth (An American Tail), John Musker & Ron Clements (The Little Mermaid), Glen Keane (Beauty & the Beast) and Brad Bird (Ratatouille) all contributing their young talents
As an added Disney Family Movies bonus, please enjoy the trailer for the sequel, 2006's The Fox and the Hound II:

Dee Dee Ternes, owner of , says that the store's lease will up at the end of June and will close the store around the third week of June if a buyer isn't found.

Ternes volunteers at Milwaukee Basics, a ministry that works towards breaking down poverty, disease, illiteracy, violence and hunger. She is looking to dedicate more time to the ministry.
"That's where my heart is," she says.

"It was a really hard decision to make because the store has been here for 12 years."
In bath and body products the shop carries the Lotions & Potions brand, Crabtree & Evelyn, Thymes, Burt's Bee's and other brands. Once the store closes people can order the Lotions & Potions brand online from its Arizona location. Ternes says that others shops in the village are thinking about carrying the other brands.

Properly executed, the Isolation play can change from short yardage to game-breaker status in a split second.
Play Description
Commonly called 'Iso,' the play creates a gap which leaves the linebacker isolated from other defenders. The fullback runs through the gap to block the linebacker, and the tailback follows the fullback's block.
Blocking Assignments
The blocking of the offensive line depends on the defensive formation.
If the defensive line includes a nose tackle, the play side guard and center perform a double team block.
If the there is no defensive lineman opposite the center, the center and backside guard will perform the double team block on the defender opposite the guard.
One-on-one Block
All other offensive linemen block the defenders directly in front of them.
Fullback Must Deliver
The fullback's block must neutralize the charging linebacker.
Downfield Blocking
Instruct outside receivers to block deep defensive secondary players.
The quarterback will drop step to the play side, reverse pivot, hand off to the tailback, and fake the bootleg away from the play.
After securing the hand off, the tailback will look for the defensive lineman closest to the play call. The tailback will run away from the direction of that defender, and look to follow the fullback's block of the linebacker.
Coaching Points
- The hand off to the tailback must occur as deep as possible in the backfield. This allows the tailback to secure the football first, and then read the defensive lineman key.
- Stress the importance of the quarterback bootleg fake, as it will delay the backside linebacker from flowing to the play side.
- Add quarterback bootleg run and pass plays to prevent defenses from quickly keying the Iso play.

A Hopkins man has been accused of driving a stolen car through north Minneapolis.
Police say Tarey Marquan Hill, also known as Tarey Marquan Hamilton-Hill and Tarey Marquan Hamilton, 18, was arrested Nov. 15 in the area of Seventh Street and Seventh Avenue North, driving a Toyota Camry that had been reported stolen from a St. Paul driveway a day earlier.
A Minneapolis police officer on routine patrol spotted the Camry weaving between lanes of traffic and speeding just before 1:30 a.m., according to the criminal complaint, signed by Minneapolis Police Sgt. Michael Keefe.
The officer checked the Camry's license plate number and discovered that it had been reported stolen. He stopped the driver and identified him as Hill.
Hill told the officer that the car belonged to his sister, then changed his story and said it was his cousin's car, according to the complaint.
After his arrest, Hill said he got the Camry from a woman named Ericka. He said he had just met her and didn't know anything else about her besides her name, the complaint says.
Hill, who is facing an unrelated felony charge of second-degree burglary in Hennepin County, is charged with receiving stolen property, a felony with a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
He remains in the Hennepin County Jail on a $20,000 bond. An omnibus hearing in his latest case is scheduled Dec. 4 in Hennepin County District Court.
