I actually did an Agatha Christie monologue for my audition showcase at Guildhall, and that's how I got my agent. Some people said 'ooh it's old hat' and 'too risky'. Some people think she's all about the narrative and thriller aspect at the expense of character and I disagree. I did it anyway and it worked well.

U.S. Treasury announces plan for remaining GM stock
After General Motors bought 200 million shares back from the U.S. government last month, the government's stake in GM was down to about at 19 percent.
Today, the U.S. Treasury Department announced it has a "pre-arranged written trading plan" for selling its remaining 300.1 million shares of GM stock.
The process is expected to take place over the next year to 15 months ("subject to market conditions"), and will end almost four years of partial government ownership of the car maker.
The sale of the remaining stock would be carried out by JPMorgan Securities and Citigroup Global Markets.
From the U.S. Treasury's press release:
Treasury's sale of its GM common stock is part of its continuing efforts to wind down the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). To date, Treasury has already recovered nearly 93 percent ($387 billion) of the funds disbursed through TARP ($418 billion).
There will be opportunities for smaller broker dealers, including women and minority-owned broker dealers, to participate in the sale of Treasury's remaining GM common shares pursuant to the plan.

A Unicoi woman and her grandchild were hit by a car attempting to pass a stopped school bus Thursday on Unicoi Drive.
Wet pavement was a factor in at least one of three wrecks on Interstate 81 Sunday afternoon.
Virginia State Police say the crashes happened around 4:00 PM, between the Glade Spring and Chilhowie exits.
Two of the accidents happened in the northbound lanes; the third in the median.
VSP told News Channel 11 that two people from a two car accident in the northbound lanes were airlifted to Bristol Regional Medical Center. No information was released on their conditions.
Troopers believe one of the cars hydroplaned and crossed into the other lane. The car hit another vehicle sending it into an embankment, before it came to rest on the interstate.
Troopers say the people in the other accidents suffered fairly minor injuries.

Life imitates art for "The Social Network" star who will help new owner Specific Media develop the company's future strategy and creative direction.
NEW YORK - Justin Timberlake is taking a minority stake in MySpace after its acquisition by online advertising network Specific Media and will help the company develop its new strategy and creative direction.
Timberlake had a key role in Oscar-nominated The Social Network about Facebook and its founders and is now taking a lead role in the future of MySpace, which has seen its user numbers decline amid competition from Facebook, which has been the dominant social network.
PHOTOS: Golfing Handicaps of Justin Timberlake, Sam Jackson and More
Under its new owner, which finalized an acquisition for $35 million on Wednesday, MySpace is expected to focus on music. It has long been a popular way for music talent to present its work online and drive fans to concerts and the like.
PHOTOS: Summer Blockbuster Guide
"There's a need for a place where fans can go to interact with their favorite entertainers, listen to music, watch videos, share and discover cool stuff and just connect. Myspace has the potential to be that place," said Timberlake in a statement. "Art is inspired by people and vice versa, so there's a natural social component to entertainment. I'm excited to help revitalize Myspace by using its social media platform to bring artists and fans together in one community."
STORY: MTV Movie Awards: Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis and 9 Other Most Outrageous Moments
It is not clear what size ownership stake Timberlake, an actor and Grammy-winning recording artist, will have in the company, but a Specific representative said he paid for it. News Corp. will retain a piece of the company as part of its sale to Specific.
Timberlake will also have a title at MySpace, but the exact is yet to be determined, a representative said. The strategy and vision for MySpace will be unveiled at a press conference later this summer, according to Specific.

Said Specific CEO Tim Vanderhook: "We look forward to partnering with someone as talented as Justin Timberlake who will lead the business strategy with his creative ideas and vision for transforming MySpace." He added that he is looking forward to what he called "the next chapter of digital media."

VPN, firewall sales expected to boom
Worldwide revenue from sales of VPN and firewall hardware and software will grow by 31% from $668 million in the 3rd quarter of 2002 to $874 million in the 3rd quarter of 2003, according to research by Infonetics Research.
Worldwide annual revenue in this market will reach $4.9 billion in 2005, Infonetics said.
A key market driver is the ready availability of low-cost Internet bandwidth which enables users to move to a model of distributed Internet connectivity rather than centralized connectivity. This drives up demand for VPN and firewall sales, Infonetics said.
In the U.S., government spending on security and the need for compliance with privacy provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is also helping VPN and firewall sales, according to Infonetics.

To Train Physicians for Business Leadership, Think Beyond the MBA
The group of seven "students" met twice a year with GE "teachers" for structured didactic sessions to learn about marketing, strategic planning, and finance, he says. They worked to define a project and worked on it over two years. Through the process of working on the problem -- in Collins' case, medication reconciliation -- the group defined interventions and followed up with data.
"At first, it seemed a little bit Mickey Mouse," says Collins. "But very helpful was that it reinforced a discipline to approaching projects. People like me never saw an opportunity I didn't like. It's easy to get swept up in enthusiasm for fixing problems, but essential to solving them is refining goals and measuring success."
I usually shy away from long quotes, but Collins gave me perhaps the best, most concise explanation of what has happened with society's implied contract with physicians that I've ever heard, and it shows quite concisely how business training can help physicians understand how they fit into the big picture of healthcare costs and outcomes today:
The bargain we had with society is that physicians acted on the basis of best science or best evidence. Society said, 'you know what's best, so you decide.' That led to very little discussion on risks and benefits with patients because we were presumed to know what's best. Medicine has become distanced from the application of best evidence. As the public has become more aware of that, including government and insurance companies, we have more regulations, which further decreased our autonomy. What that says is that over time, individuals' clinical autonomy became a cause of suboptimal performance relative to clinical science. That led to wide variation, which brought the attention of insurance companies and led to their managerial control with guidelines, protocols and regulations. That's been a source of frustration. Paradoxically, in the pursuit of autonomy, we've lost it, and to reframe that, we have to function in ways that will reduce variation around best practices. Even though I believe medicine is collaborative undertaking, physicians have the responsibility for what goes on. As healthcare has become more complex, that model really doesn't work anymore and physicians aren't good followers. The task is challenging, but we can learn a lot from other industries."

Hey guys, so my dreads are 5 days old now... and coming along nicely. I put some beads in just for fun on day 2 or something... and now I'm noticing a lot of loose hair attaching to the dreads and sort of enclosing the beads. I take it this is because my dreads are still forming. Should I take the beads out during this time and put them back on later when my dreads are more mature? They are cool, but I'm not committed to them enough to want them to get completely stuck in my hair.
Thanks in advance for your replies. :)
Maybe I'll try moving them a bit. I figured if you left them in for years or something they would dread in but wow, I'm at a week today and dreads are already forming around them. I guess that's a good sign that my hair is knotting so fast. Thanks for your reply. :)

"Archaeologists knew they had found something special as they uncovered the tangle of human bones, but it was only as the scientific analysis of the skeletons progressed that the full international significance of the discovery became clear. What the archaeologists had found was a mass grave of executed Vikings.
Rare find
Oxford Archaeology Project Manager David Score said: "To find out that the young men executed were Vikings is a thrilling development. Any mass grave is a relatively rare find, but to find one on this scale, from this period of history, is extremely unusual."
READ MORE:Oxford Archaeology. Dorset Viking age mass burial publication. Past Horizons. March 04, 2014, from http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/index.php/archives/03/2014/dorset-viking-age-mass-burial-publication
"We're absolutely beyond ecstatic to find this giant mass grave," one archaeologist commented, "Just so tickled pink that we've stumbled across this huge hole full of skeletons."
His colleague added, gleefully, "It's such a great find for the history books."
"Usually we'd be pretty concerned about a stumbling across a crater teeming with human remains, I mean, in everyday life that's a pretty bad sign - "
"Oh definitely, definitely."
"- but in this circumstance, because the bones are over one thousand years old and everyone they knew, or who knew them, are also bones at this point, we're allowed to be really amped about it, instead of just the usual - sad."
"Yes, and that's one hundred percent normal."
"Absolutely. Make sure you write down 'normal,' and maybe include it twice."

I don't think it worked at all in this situation. This has American comedians trying to sell British jokes, but sometimes it works. The Office did a great job of differentiating its style from the original. Of course, we can only see the pilot of this show... not sure I'd want to see more, though.

LA QUINTA — A budget proposal for 2013 that does not raise electricity rates for customers was presented at the second of two rate hearings immediately following the Board of Directors meeting Tuesday.
Like the proposal unveiled at the Feb. 19 rate hearing, Tuesday's proposal seeks to insulate ratepayers from a rate increase in the short-term by eliminating a 99-cent subsidy of energy costs by the base rate and fully utilizing the $36.1 million of the Energy Cost Adjustment that was over-collected in 2011. Perhaps addressing concerns brought up at the Feb. 19 meeting that such a move is shortsighted, Tuesday's proposal included projections that show how the over-collected funds will be utilized.
The IID will overcollect on the ECA twice in 2013, in January and March, according to projections. It will utilize some $712,000 of the $36.1 million overcollection in February, $3,815,000 in April, and continue at an increasing rate until the fund is exhausted in August 2013.
Starting in September, $23 million to $24 million of the $100 million rate stabilization fund will be used to keep from raising electricity rates for customers, Chief Financial Officer Greg Broeking said.
"We probably wouldn't exhaust all (of the rate stabilization fund) in 2014," Broeking said, speaking after the meeting. "There will be some carryover into 2015."
Another budget presentation is scheduled March 12, with the board scheduled to vote on the budget March 19. If approved, the energy cost adjustment goes into effect April 1.
Solar development in the Valley continues
The Board of Directors unanimously approved a major work authorization that allows a proposed 20-megawatt solar farm near the El Centro switching station to interconnect to the IID's grid under the district's open access transmission tariff. The estimated $2.6 million in costs will be paid by the developer.

First up, MAC has introduced a new gloss to their line to accompany the Mineralize Rich Lipstick. These are available now and will be in the permanent line.
MAC Mineralize Glass (12 shades in all)
MAC Mineralize Lipstick (6 new shades)
left-right: True Jewel, Tender, Fashion Perk
I've used all of these and I have to say that at first glance, I thought they'd be similar to the Cremesheen Glass by MAC. I actually prefer the new Mineralize Glass because they don't go on so immediately thick. While they look like they'd go on as an opaque cream, they are surprisingly build-able and not as sticky as other MAC glosses. These are a winner for me!
Next up, a few new shades of the Mineralize Rich Lipstick...
left-right: Be Fabulous, Good Taste, Bold Spring
Finally, an all-new mascara addition to the permanent line...
Studio Sculpt Lash
"Sculpted Black"
This mascara is unique in that the brush is comb-like, yet it has the effect of those mascaras with the rubbery bristles. I was afraid it would be a bit clumpy and too separating for me (which is what typical comb-like mascaras do on me), but I was pleasantly surprised. No clumps, volume, and lots of length. Without the fake, spidery effect.
This one is definitely a winner so far!
So while these are just my first thoughts, I'll be sure and use these products in upcoming videos and let you know a little more about them in my upcoming monthly favorites video at the end of this month on my YouTube channel. Don't miss it!
Have you guys tried any of these products yet?? What are your thoughts?? OH and what are your favorite Mineralize Lipstick shades?
Check out all the products mentioned in this post below...

A final, desperate -- and doomed -- push for H-1B restrictions
Senate expected to vote next week on immigration bill, but will see amendments proposed, including one from Sens. Grassley and Brown
Computerworld - WASHINGTON -- The Senate is expected to vote next week on an immigration bill, and it is likely to pass after one last fight to give U.S. workers hiring preference over foreigners with H-1B visas.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) are backing a proposed amendment to the immigration bill that would require employers to "first offer a vacant position to an equally or better qualified American worker" before filling the job with an H-1B worker.
This lack of preference in the current bill is sore point with Grassley.
The Senate immigration bill, as initially drafted by a bipartisan group of senators, the so called "gang of eight," included U.S. worker preference in hiring. The tech industry opposed it, and worked with an ally, U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), to get the clause removed.
Hatch reached an agreement with U.S. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), part of the gang of eight to eliminate U.S. worker preference. The judiciary committee then voted to strip the provisions from the bill before sending it to the floor.
Grassley opposed the Hatch and Schumer changes without success. His ability to win support for hiring preference has not improved since.
"The (H-1B) program was never meant to replace qualified American workers, but it was instead intended as a means to fill gaps in highly specialized areas of employment," said Grassley, in announcing his support for the new effort to restore preference.
The preference language, and other restrictions, were mostly removed from the immigration bill. The restrictions now apply only to H-1B dependent firms, mostly large offshore outsourcing firms.
Senators Joe Manchin (D-W.V.), and Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) also support the latest amendment.
If the Senate approves an immigration bill, it would then move on to the House of Representatives, which may have its own bill.
The Senate bill, as it stands, imposes the most visa restrictions on offshore outsourcing firms, including one provision to limit their use of visa holders to half their workforces.
If immigration bill reaches the president's desk and it imposes restrictions on big offshore visa users, India is expected to complain to World Trade Organization. The Indian government will argue that access to visas is an essential part of free trade.
U.S. lawmakers are countering India's concerns by raising their own complaints about India's trade practices. The complaints suggest that the visa restrictions in the Senate's bill may be fodder for negotiations.
Max Baucus (D-Mont.), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and Hatch, its ranking member, last week accused India of blocking the sale of U.S.-made IT products there and said India's trade policies "coerce U.S. companies to transfer their technology to local industry."
Schumer is complaining that the sale of New York dairy products are blocked in India.

2012-13 Big 12 Power Rankings
Another year, another Bill Self team primed to win a conference title

Ethan Hyman/Raleigh News & Observer/MCT/Getty ImagesBill Self is set for another March Madness run at Kansas with Final Four talent returning to campus.
The new Big 12 finally has some stability after a wild ride through conference realignment the past two years.
It now has 10 teams, including newcomers West Virginia and TCU. And while Kansas and Texas will miss longtime rivals Missouri and Texas A&M, respectively, the league should continue to be a very strong basketball conference with the new rivalries.
TCU will start at the bottom but should integrate quickly into the Big 12, especially if it follows its football program's formula of mining the Dallas metroplex for its outstanding high school talent.
West Virginia's Bob Huggins has proven he can win in any league and already has done it once in this conference when he was at Kansas State. He'll make trips to Morgantown problematic for conference foes.
As usual, Kansas will lead the way as it shoots for a ninth straight Big 12 title under Bill Self. Texas, after a year hiatus, has reloaded and should be in contention as well.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Former Oklahoma City Thunder player DeAndre Liggins has been formally arraigned on numerous felony domestic violence charges.
Defense attorney Tony Coleman says not guilty pleas were entered on Liggins' behalf in Oklahoma County District Court on Friday.
Liggins faces two counts of kidnapping, two counts of domestic assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, three counts of domestic abuse in the presence of a minor and one count of violating a protective order. Liggins is free on bond.
Liggins was arrested Aug. 31 after his girlfriend told police he attacked her in front of their 2-year-old son.
The Thunder waived the 24-year-old former Kentucky player on Sept. 6
He said after Friday's hearing he "loves Oklahoma fans" and the state of Oklahoma.

This hotel is very close to the airport which makes it very easy to get in and out of Nashville for families passing though or delayed due to weather. The gift shop had everything I needed plus things for the children and souvenirs. The suite was very clean and spacious. However the property has furniture that needs replaced based on the cracks and chipped paint. The lady in the restaurant need to learn about customer service she was extremely rude and everything we tried to order they ran out of. The lady at the check in counter needs to learn customer service to, the customer service wasn't Southern Hospitality at all more so Southern Rudeness. How can you have a restaurant that runs out of the first 4 items we wanted to order. We left the restaurant and had a great experience and Ruby Tuesday
where service was that of Southern Hospitality! The hotel staff should go learn service skills from Ruby Tuesday.

Blackhawks' Bickell wins goad medal
Blackhawks' Bickell wins goad medal
CHICAGO - Bryan Bickell skated toward the net, as brawny, crusty wingers are wont to do, then stopped once the whistle blew.
Then came the purposeful shove from the Bruins' Zdeno Chara, sending Bickell back-first into the glass. The Blackhawks' winger stood incredulous, with a glove turned upward.
It was Milan Lucic's turn moments later, as the Bruins' winger skated over and stood nose-to-nose with Bickell. They presumably did not exchange souffle recipes, given what TV cameras caught during the ensuing faceoff.

Toy manufacturer Hornby puts out profit warning over delays
PUBLISHED: 17:29 EST, 24 January 2014 | UPDATED: 17:29 EST, 24 January 2014
Hornby has been hit by delays from suppliers, prompting another profit warning.
Shares in the Scalextric, Meccano and Airfix toy manufacturer fell 3p to 77.5p after it blamed a Chinese manufacturer yet again for problems in the long running saga that has dogged the firm.
Its stock has lost 54 per cent over the past three years, while long standing chief executive Frank Martin -– who was booted upstairs as deputy chairman in April – is now no longer with the firm.
Hornby has long been dependant on a handful of unreliable suppliers in China but has recently been seeking other manufacturers in Asia to spread risks.
Back in June when the company slumped into the red, Hornby said it will 'use this time of transition as a major opportunity for the business to build a robust platform for the future'.
But seven months on Hornby has warned annual pre-tax profits will now be flat rather than up to the forecast £1.8million.
Shareholders hoping to catch the express train to wealth will have to spend a little more time in the waiting room.
New executive chairman Roger Canham has put an end to the trouble caused by the supplier of Hornby's model trains in Changzhou.
He is forking out £600,000 to end a production contract early after the Chinese manufacturer had moved production to a different factory which was fraught with problems.
Canham said: 'It has been very troublesome but we want to do the right thing and part on good terms. Arrangements have finally been agreed for a managed exit from trading with them.
'This will lead to all of our remaining tools and moulds being made available to our other manufacture partners.'
Hornby now expects the annual total of model rail purchases for the year to be approximately 61 per cent of its budget in the UK and 68 per cent in Europe. This compares to expectations of 88 per cent and 80 per cent.

Serves you right for chasing the cheapest supplier instead of the highest quality. Marks and Spencer chose that option and look what happened to them. Now it seems Hornby are having to learn the same lesson. China makes rubbish products how many times do you have to learn the same lessons.
Get Real, London, 1 month ago
Hornby products are not exactly cheap considering they are made for peanuts in China. If they bring manufacturing back to Britain, they will be doomed for sure. The words Rock and a Hard place come to mind. Would I buy the shares right now ? Not for all the tea in China !
Ratcatcher, Westminster Sewers, 1 month ago
If they brought their manufacturing back to the UK they at least would have a quality product to offer their customers, rather than constant late deliveries.
John, Peterborough, 1 month ago
Another good reason for the like of Hornby to bring the manufacturing in house in the UK and not have everything made in China!! Yes, it's cheaper, but not when your business is at risk. If Hornby go belly up, what s the betting there will be a chinese company taking over it's role with, surprise surprise, an identical range of products?
Essexandy, Colchester, United Kingdom, 1 month ago
I have been waiting for delivery of the new LNER P2 class model. It was originally scheduled as a new model for 2013. Then delivery was delayed until January 2014 and now I have been told it looks like August will be the date that this item arrives, well over a year late! Its a bit of a shambles and just illustrates the risks of rushing off to China just to get things made a bit cheaper.

This proves that manufacturing offshore just because its cheaper isn't always profitable. I hope that this is a wake up call for others to come home now before its to late. The same can be said for IT offshore centers. It takes me twice as long to e mail and set up meetings to get something done than to do the tasks myself.
Paul F, Leeds, United Kingdom, 1 month ago
Many companies (Hornby and Pace being two) have learnt the hard way that the cheapest manufacturing unit cost does not automatically result in higher profits or sustainable business growth - a lengthy supply chain as fashion retailers have found can mean time to resupply means you miss the sales. Pace found different climates in a component suppliers own country disrupted the supply of all Paces set top boxes! Many customers leave companies who operate overseas call centres as they don't get the quality of service they expect! Stability, quality, guaranteed short responsive supply chain can often far out way any perceived benefit from slightly lower unit costs but try telling the talented cost cutters who will still get remunerated whatever the companies performance!

Rick Pitino,
John Calipari,
Michael Carter-Williams,
Brandon Triche
TEAMS: Louisville Cardinals, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Kentucky Wildcats, Syracuse Orange, Michigan State Spartans
TEAMS: Louisville Cardinals, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Kentucky Wildcats, Syracuse Orange, Michigan State Spartans
There are several numbers you can point to if you want to make the argument it'll be Rick Pitino's Louisville team that cuts down the nets in Atlanta on April 8.
Point to the fact that the Cardinals' pressure-filled defense is second in the nation in steals per game and turnover margin, behind only Virginia Commonwealth. Mention that they're second in the nation in defensive efficiency as well. Look at the fact that no team is hotter than the Big East tournament champions (their only loss since Jan. 26 was the five-overtime thriller at Notre Dame). Talk about the resilience they showed in the Big East title game, when they were down 16 points to Syracuse with 15:34 left and then outscored the Orange 49-16 the rest of the way. Point to numbers guru Ken Pomeroy, who has Louisville as the second-ranked team in the nation (behind a flawed Florida squad) as well as the No. 1 team in adjusted defensive efficiency.
But the best reason that this year's No. 1 overall seed will be the national champion can be found not in dizzying conversations about how Louisville's remarkable in-your-face defense can help it overcome any opponent. Instead, listen to Pitino, who was sitting at a podium in the bowels of Madison Square Garden around midnight on Saturday, talking about the character of this year's team.
"I've had the greatest time of my life coaching these guys," Pitino said. "They listen to every word you say: 'Yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir.' It's just an incredible experience to coach these guys."
On the surface, this sounds like a misty-eyed coach throwing some compliments toward the young men he's brutalized in practices all year. But there's a key point in what Pitino was saying, a point that indicates why anyone looking to win an office pool should put Louisville in the winner's circle. Coaches love to talk about whether their players have "bought in." If a team hasn't bought in, it looks shaky and disjointed, playing well below the potential of its talent and its coach (see: John Calipari's immature Kentucky team this season).
But when a team does buy into its coach's philosophy -- and when that coach is a soon-to-be Hall-of-Famer like Pitino, one of the best basketball minds of his generation -- that's when five players begin to play as one, and that's where champions are born.
Look no further than Louisville's dramatic comeback against Syracuse last week. What you see is a team that hadn't shot the ball well in the first half (26 percent from the floor). That poor offense, Pitino said, led to poor defense. "I had to jump our guys pretty hard at halftime because," Pitino said, "our defense wasn't great because our offense was quick shooting, and we're not a quick shooting team."
But after Pitino tore into his players at halftime, they listened. The team that took the floor in the second half put on one of the most dominating performances in Big East tournament history. It started a suffocating full-court press. It forced Syracuse into 12 turnovers. It helped on defense every time the ball shifted from one Syracuse player to another, a magnificent and swirling dance that Pitino seemed to choreograph on the fly from the bench. It flustered Syracuse's dynamic point guard, Michael Carter-Williams, and its senior leader, Brandon Triche. All that stellar defense led to confidence on offense, and a 56-point second half (compared to only 22 in the first half).
"We try to confuse, create total chaos, but we've got to do it in a smart way, and we did it in a very smart way offensively and defensively in the second half," Pitino said after the win.
Sure, you can always pick the numbers to fit the argument. And that's what anyone who has Louisville losing in that brutal Midwest Region will do: The Cardinals can't shoot (104th in the nation in field-goal percentage), and they turn the ball over at a high rate (12.7 a game, 121st in the nation). Whatever. Those are dumb arguments that don't apply to a pressure-oriented team like Louisville. They can survive a bad shooting night or too many turnovers because of that defense.
The smarter arguments against Louisville winning the title would go like this: It's been the most unpredictable of college basketball seasons, so surely the No. 1 overall seed won't win. There's more parity in college basketball than ever before -- Calipari has said 40 teams have a legitimate shot at making the Final Four -- so you can't really pick any one team as favorite. And Louisville's region is absolutely brutal. It might have to beat the most difficult four seed (Saint Louis) plus either the most difficult two seed (Duke) or the most difficult three seed (Michigan State) to make the Final Four. It's an unfair situation for the No. 1 overall seed to be in.
But on the shoulders of one of the best-conditioned team in college hoops and the most dominating defense out there, Louisville will overcome all that unfairness.
At Madison Square Garden over the weekend, Pitino's team did not cut down the nets after their Big East tournament victory. The players had cut down the nets when they won the year before. Why didn't they do it again this year?
Pitino's answer projected the air of confidence that surrounds this team. He thought cutting down the nets should be something special, so he only wants to do it once this season.
He'll save it for April 8.

A short video showing the Poul version of Thing in action.
Thing is designed to help you calm your thoughts and slow down. Using infrared light, Thing can detect the pulse in your thumb and then uses that data to change the brightness of a red LED. It's pretty cool. The idea is quite simply to focus your attention on the pulsating light and calm your thoughts, just as one would do when meditating. Thing comes in two versions: Ella & Poul: Poul projects the light out into the room while Ella uses a more subtle LED. See more pictures and descriptions of Thing at ddlab.dk/johnkes-blog.
Ideas for use:
- Couple Thing with music or visuals
- Use Thing while doing breathing exercises
- Use Thing to remind yourself that you're alive and kicking. Sometimes we forget!
- Concentrate and see if you can slow down your heartbeat
- If you already meditate, use Thing for a minute or two before or after your meditation
- With the Poul version of Thing you can project your pulse anywhere. Try aiming it at the walls in your room, at buildings in the city or even at someone else (be careful the light can be a bit bright).
A video of the data visualization can be found here: vimeo.com/69371035#.
Music: "Congo" by Bear Mountain.

Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 62-year-old male. I have what I would call "megafloaters" in both eyes. I see spots, squiggly lines and other assorted debris in my field of vision. After two thorough examinations by two different doctors, I was told to live with the condition, as the treatment is complex. I understand that it is caused by the breakdown of the vitreous fluid. I am to notify the doctor if I start seeing "flashing lights," as that would indicate a detached retina. I have worn glasses since childhood and have astigmatism, and my vision has not changed much in the past two years. The floaters are only an annoyance, yet the condition seems to be worsening quickly. The only medication I take is tamsulosin. I would appreciate your input. — R.S.
Answer: I completely agree with your doctors' assessments. I would add only that it is the breakdown of cells into the vitreous, not a breakdown of the fluid itself. I have written a few times about floaters and have done a fair bit of research on them, and have spoken to an ophthalmologist also. Unless it is adversely affecting your vision, I believe the cure is worse than the disease.
Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 74-year-old female in good health. What particular exams should I have yearly? I take no meds, am arthritic and a nonsmoker, and I do not drink. I am a gym client — I do free weights and 30 minutes of aerobic activity five days a week. —D.F.L.
Answer: You are fortunate to be in such excellent health, and I am sure your exercise and lack of smoking have a lot to do with it. The screening tests recommended for a 74-year-old include a mammogram every year or two; a bone mineral density test if you haven't had one, with a follow-up based on the results, a blood pressure screen every visit; and a colonoscopy every 10 years (more frequently if you have had abnormal results).
However, while you are with your doctor or other provider, it's worth a discussion of whether you should consider the following: aspirin daily; a cholesterol check; and screening for STDs. These are recommended for some but not all women, depending on your individual situation. Also, a careful provider will talk to you about risk for depression and falls, as well as a discussion about diet and exercise (which you seem to be doing very well on). There are other tests applicable to people with certain risk factors.
These recommendations are from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, and are available for everyone on the Web at www.ahrq.gov, or via a nifty smartphone app that is perfect for busy primary-care docs.
Dear Dr. Roach: I have HPV. My husband gave it to me. He has visible warts. We are both 68 years old. My gynecologist said that the body heals itself and just to hate my husband for this. I know that it causes cervical cancer. Will this go away, and are there different degrees of this STD? I am disgusted and feel dirty. I want to change doctors because I am so embarrassed by this situation. What can I do? — I.M.
Answer: Your gynecologist has seen this before and isn't embarrassed, so you shouldn't be either. Most genital warts do go away by themselves. If they don't, they can be treated by several methods. Only some types of genital warts increase a woman's risk of cervical cancer, and your gynecologist may choose to find out if you carry a high-risk type in order to give you all your options.
