KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Jordan McRae scored 24 points and shot 6 of 8 from 3-point range Saturday as Tennessee trounced South Carolina 72-53 to beat the Gamecocks for the 13th consecutive time.
South Carolina (8-15, 1-9 Southeastern Conference) hasn't beaten Tennessee since an 81-64 home triumph over the Volunteers on Feb. 17, 2007.
Tennessee (15-8, 6-4) bounced back from a 64-60 loss at Vanderbilt on Wednesday to win for the third time in its last four games. Next up for Tennessee is a home game Tuesday with No. 3 Florida, which buried the Vols 67-41 in Gainesville on Jan. 25.
South Carolina lost for the ninth time in its last 10 games.
Jarnell Stokes had 17 points and eight rebounds for Tennessee, while Jeronne Maymon had 10 points and eight rebounds. Sindarius Thornwell led South Carolina with 15 points.

The heart of San Diego emo-inflected post-hardcore outfit Pierce the Veil lies in two brothers, vocalist/guitarist Victor Fuentes and drummer Mike Fuentes, who first started playing together as the band Before Today while students in high school. The two formed the group in December of 1998 and it was soon turned into a quintet by guitarist Joe Tancil and bassist Mitchell Ballatore. Before Today played as a unit for several years, and after signing to Equal Vision Records, released the album A Celebration of an Ending in September 2004. In time, Tancil and Ballatore quit the band, leaving Victor and Mike to start over and rebuild. In the fall of 2006, they switched their name to Pierce the Veil, which was the name of a track on the previous Before Today album, and brought on board bassist Jaime Preciado and guitarist Tony Perry. The brothers wrote Pierce the Veil's debut album, A Flair for the Dramatic, in their San Diego home studio, and later recorded it up in Seattle with producer Casey Bates (Gatsbys American Dream, Fear Before the March of Flames). Their original affiliation with Equal Vision continued, and in early summer 2007, A Flair for the Dramatic appeared via the Albany-based label. The fall was then spent on opening dates for rockers From First to Last. ~ Corey Apar

PHOENIX, AZ (January 13, 2013) - Rockstar Energy Racing Suzuki's Davi Millsaps retained his AMA / FIM World Supercross 'Red Plate' with third place at Saturday night's second-round Phoenix Supercross in Arizona. Millsaps - who stormed round one last week at Anaheim in California - took his RM-Z450 into third position in the 450 Main Event and holds the series lead on 45 points; six ahead of Honda's Justin Barcia, who won the 20-lap Main Event in front of more than 50,000 fans at the Chase Field Stadium. Said Millsaps: "For how bad the day was, coming out and establishing a third was good. If I can make these days my worst and my best days last weekend, I'll be good." Throughout practice, Millsaps was not as comfortable as he had been the previous weekend in California. As the gate dropped for his heat race, he put the day's events behind him and finished a solid second, giving him a good gate-pick going into the Main Event. As the group exited turn one in the evening finale's 20-lap Main, Millsaps missed the holeshot by a mere few inches, but he fought hard the entire race and continued to pursue the leaders. In the 250cc West Coast class, Ryan Sipes had a good start in his heat and rode to a strong third-placed finish. Then after a bad start in the Main Event, he worked his way back up to fourth position and eventually finished seventh. Now sitting fourth in overall points, Sipes is going into the next round hungry for a podium. Said Sipes: "Sort of a bummer, but I can't be bummed because I felt like I rode well. Working my way up and passing guys and I got Cole Seely for fourth with two laps to go. I felt like I needed to guard my line and that let him come up and get close. Then we hit in the corner and I was forced to case the double and get passed by a couple more guys. I went from fourth to seventh in a two straights, but like I said, I rode well and all we can do is come in ready for next weekend." Jason Anderson looked great all day in practice and was poised for another impressive evening, but in turn one of his heat race, Anderson was clipped and ejected from his bike. Luckily he was unharmed but was unable to make up the lost time and was forced into the Last Chance Qualifier. A slight mistake in the LCQ kept him from qualifying for the Main Event, but he heads into round three this coming weekend, strong and determined. Said Anderson: "A rough weekend, had a crash in the heat; and then I wound-up endoing in the LCQ all by myself, so not a good night. For sure we'll improve on that next week and hopefully be on the box." About Rockstar: ROCKSTAR is the world's most powerful Energy Drink.

Ideally, we would want to persist the objects our application uses and produces AS IS, without having to first transform them in complex ways. NHibernate is a framework that provides us with an object-oriented access to a relational database without having to write SQL and with little or no database-specific data access code. Definitely, if you are a .NET developer, knowing more about NHibernate will simplify and reduce your efforts in developing .Net applications.NHibernate 3 Beginner's Guide introduces Nhibernate with step-by-step examples, and is the easiest way to learn about bridging the gap between object-oriented .NET applications and the relational database that stores the application's data. It is a beginner's guide to NHibernate that starts from scratch. Successive chapters build upon earlier concepts, while the sample code presents various ways to accomplish typical data access tasks.
NHibernate 3 Beginner's Guide examines all of the topics required to get a functional data access layer implemented while writing the least amount of code possible, presenting options along the way to handle particular edge cases or situations as they arise. The book begins with an introduction to NHIbernate 3 and then moves on to creating the development environment. Then it teaches you how to create a model, define a database schema, and map the model to the database then covers sessions and transactions. This is succeeded by testing, profiling, and configuration, validation of data and writing queries. Finally, we wrap up with notes on the common pitfalls that you should avoid.
Once you complete reading the book, you will have gained the skills and knowledge to incorporate NHibernate into your own applications.
An easy-to-follow guide that will show you how to connect the NHibernate object-relational mapper to your projects to create a rich, efficient, object-oriented data access layer with little or no additional work
This is a beginner's guide with comprehensive step-by-step instructions. There are appropriate screenshots throughout the book and plenty of code, which is explained in a well-thought-out format.
If you are a new or seasoned developer of .NET web or desktop applications who is looking for a better way to access database data, then this book is for you. It is a basic introduction to NHibernate, with enough information to get a solid foundation in using NHibernate. Some advanced concepts are presented where appropriate to enhance functionality or in situations where they are commonly used. Absolutely no knowledge of NHibernate is required to read this book.

Fits my needs perfectly.
By Brian
from Indiana
Only had it for a short time so far, but it has everything I need for a week-end trip. Have only used it a couple of times, but it seems like it will be the last bag I ever need. I like the Bison leather and the end pockets to hold 2 pairs of shoes, plenty of pockets inside for smaller items and the side opening for clothes is convienent. Has a shoulder strap or the optional wheels for pulling through a hotel lobby. Can't think of anything I dislike about it, except it is a little pricey, but you have to pay for quality. I did extensive research before buying this one and I am happy with it.

Allergy is a physiological reaction caused when the immune system mistakenly identifies a normally harmless substance as damaging to the body. Normally, the human body defends itself against harmful substances, such as viruses or bacteria, but sometimes the defenses aggressively attack usually innocuous substances, such as dust, mold, or pollen.
Although hundreds of ordinary substances could trigger allergic reactions, the most common triggers-called allergens-include:
- Pollens
- Molds
- Household dust, dust mites and their waste
- Animal protein (dander, urine, oil from skin)
In a person with allergies, the immune system is oversensitive. When it recognizes an allergen, it releases chemicals such as histamines that fight off the allergen. Allergic rhinitis, hay fever, coughing and sneezing can all cause serious problems in the ears, mouth, nose and throat. Doctors William Hofmann, Michael Anderson and David Rowe can care for allergy sufferers of all ages by providing allergy evaluations, testing and immunotherapy (both injection therapy and sublingual therapy).
Hearing loss is the third most common health condition in the United States, and more than 31 million Americans have some type of hearing problem. Audiologist Lori Fish uses the latest technology to determine the type and degree, if any, of your hearing loss. She can assist with individualized hearing aid fitting, recreational and occupational ear molds, and hearing aid repairs.

Teachers and the lawA non-technical, non-intimidating look at legislation and cases that apply to the experience and daily life of teachers and students in schools. Clearly written and useful to both teachers and school administrators, this text focuses on legal issues reflecting national trends most important to educators today. The authors designed the text to help school professionals avoid unnecessary litigation by educating them about their legal rights and responsibilities and how and why the courts decided the way they did. This up-to-date presentation is technically accurate yet presented in ordinary language that non-lawyers can understand. Guiding legal principles are developed by examining actual current cases, and the question-and-answer format enables students to contextualize legal issues within the school environment. |

PETA's brilliant, bloody new ad campaign drives home the fact that, "Poaching is driven by demand. So the day you stop buying, they stop killing."
When the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) wanted to fight animal poachers—illegal hunters of wildlife—they decided to bring in an unorthodox weapon: Drones. But these drones were different from the killer Predators of public imagination. Instead, they were unarmed, superlightweight, and users launch them by throwing them into the air—in fact, they are heavily modified model aircraft. After negotiations, Nepal was chosen as a pilot site for the wildlife drones. First launched in mid-2012, the WWF drones offered a new, experimental method of stopping poachers.
Now, wildlife-protecting drones are coming to the rest of the world. Last week, Google announced they would help the WWF purchase African and Asian poacher-seeking UAVs. As part of Google's 2012 Global Impact Awards program, the WWF received $5 million to buy similar unarmed drones to watch and track African wildlife poachers.

Nairobi, 20 Apr 11 On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's first manned space flight, movie stars serving as UN-HABITAT youth envoys last week joined Norwegian Junior Minister, Mr. Arvinn Eikeland Gadgil and agency officials at the glittering launch ceremony of a new internet help desk for urban youth.
The launch was attended by UN-HABITAT Youth Envoys, Mr. Vikram Kenny aka Chiyyan Vikram (KENNY), the actor and philanthropist from India, Mr. Ramsey Noah, the Nigerian actor, the artist Mr. Wolfgang E. Riegelsberge from Germany, and the renowned Nigerian actress, Ms. Ini Edo. All pledged to work harder to address the concerns of young people in their own countries and regions.
The help desk is a multimedia, interactive portal for all interested in UN-HABITAT's Urban Youth Fund. It is offers a virtual space for interaction among youth-led organizations in developing countries working to improve the lives of young people and their communities. The Fund will provide grants for innovative projects which promote employment, good governance, shelter and secure tenure.
"The help desk is a first step in allowing youth from around the world the ability to learn from one another and experts in youth issues," said Mr. Tayiona Eldanous Sanaguria, a youth representative from Zimbabwe, who cited the importance of using new technology to network across borders.
One of its main fuctions will be to enable all Urban Youth Fund projects to upload and share information. Also attracting interest is a unique youth research section where updated research material from urban youth research is published and where researchers can talk to one another. The help desk, headquartered at IRIS Knowledge Foundation in India, is a product the Urban Youth Research Network and UN-HABITAT.
The launch of the new website came as countries making up the Governing Council which oversees UN-HABITAT's work programme and budget gave the green light last week to the agency's projects aimed at giving young people in cities, especially in the poorer neighbourhoods of the developing world, a better start in life.
In related development giving a measure of just how vulnerable young people and children can be as a result of disaster or conflict, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Ms. Radhika Coomaraswamy on Wednesday reiterated her call on all parties in Libya to protect children and to ensure than none were associated with any armed forces or groups.
"However, credible information on recruitment and use of children continues to be received by my Office daily. In addition, there have been increasingly alarming reports of other violations against children. The situation of girls and boys in the besieged city of Misrata is of particular concern at this time when heavy shelling, bombardment, and land mines claim children as victims. Humanitarian access is also hampered by the current fighting and several hospitals have been damaged," she said.
"I again urge the Government of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, pro-government elements, and opposition forces to immediately stop using children as combatants. The killing and maiming of girls and boys must end. And I remind all parties that attacks on hospitals and denial of humanitarian aid are also grave violations against children," she said.
Ms. Coomaraswamy warned that perpetrators from all sides of the conflict in Libya would be held accountable.

Read more: W.Va. slammed with sugar
BELINGTON, W.Va. -- BELINGTON -- Glenda Blake grew up in Barbour County, an ornery little round-faced girl who loved to take care of the animals on her grandparents' farm.
Her grandmother, who taught her to cook, had diabetes. Her mom had diabetes. "Everyone in our family had sugar," she said. "It was just something I always knew about."
She figured she'd get diabetes too. "People thought, if people in your family have sugar, you will too. We didn't know it could be prevented."
As a young woman, she cared for elderly Barbour County diabetics in their homes. For the past 14 years, she has cooked at The Good Samaritan nursing home in Belington. Half the residents are diabetic. "She's the person you'd want cooking for your mother," says administrator Mark Nessman.
Now she's teetering on the edge of diabetes herself. Her blood sugar waltzes up to the brink. But she has found she can do something about it. She keeps waltzing it back.
Last November, feeling depressed and tired, not sure what was wrong, she trudged into the Belington Clinic, Barbour County's community health center. They told her that her blood glucose had spiked to prediabetic range, between 100 and 125.
"They told me they had a new health coach who could help me keep diabetes from happening." A half hour later, she was sitting in Jill Weingart's office, spilling out her story.
Her son had lost his job and moved in with her. Several nursing home residents were in crisis. "I worry about them all the time," she told Jill.
"You're always putting other people first, aren't you?" Jill asked gently. As soon as she said that, Glenda burst into tears. Jill handed her a box of Kleenex. "You're a caretaker," she said. As women, we're always putting everybody else first," she said. "It's time for you to think about Glenda too."
Glenda wiped her eyes. "Let's make sure you don't get diabetes," Jill said. "We can take it step by step,"
Glenda looked at her, dabbing her eyes. "My services are free," Jill said. That's true at all community health centers. As the diabetes epidemic grows in West Virginia, many have started diabetes prevention services, sometimes classes, sometimes coaches.
Glenda has no insurance. She makes $350 every two weeks. If she were diabetic, she could get insulin free through the clinic if she needed it, but not the diabetic finger sticks and testing strips, which cost about $45. "I can't afford to get diabetes," she said, as if talking to herself.
"To keep from getting diabetes, you'll need to lose 5 to 7 percent of your weight," Jill said. "That's going to be 20 pounds. You can do that. Maybe lose a pound or two a week. You don't need to do it tomorrow. It's not safe to lose fast.
For 45 minutes, they talked about what Glenda eats and how her day goes and plotted ways she can make small, manageable changes.
Jill showed her the "My Plate" way to think about food. "That was the most helpful thing for me," Glenda said later. "It's a picture of a plate with four different sections on it. It shows you how to divide your food, to keep yourself from getting in trouble. One portion is your meat and one your rice or white stuff. Then the other two, you fill them with vegetables or fruits."
Jill said exercising would be important. Glenda said she could walk by the river.

2012 NHL Lockout: Player/owners meeting will include Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik
Months of posturing and rhetoric and hard-line stances have given away to what should have been a starting point in labor negotiation talks between the NHL and NHLPA. So what changed that led to the league dropping it's hardline stance?
When i proposed this idea last year, it got a fair amount of support because people were a little annoyed of the whole lockout situation. I was thinking of possibly reintroducing the the idea. WHAT CHALL THINK?
Season Four kicks off dramatically with a 4-0 start and the most impressive and memorable buzzer beating three-pointer in Thunder history. However, we're not ready to write the lockout into...
Looks like for the first time since June 30, we finally see current NBA players (in their uniforms) on the NBA.com website. As you can see, Dirk Nowitzki is front and center to welcome us back to NBA basketball. I can't wait for NBA basketball to start once again! Note: Team websites are now looking normal once again as well.
From Yahoo!, teams, players and their agents can all catch up with one another over a friendly cup of coffee, effective Wednesday (tomorrow). On Thursday, players can finally get back into their team's facilities. Time to get the shooting drills and wind sprints rolling!
Once the players got some leverage, the lockout quickly ended
We take a look at the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings current schedule of games in light of a potential deal to end the NBA lockout.
Potentially great news. I'm sure more details will emerge over the next day or so, but this is being reported in multiple sources: http://espn.go.com/espn/print?id=7281052&type=story NBA...
Even though there's no NBA, there still is NBADL action! Check out the Warriors affiliate, the Dakota Wizards, 16 game TV schedule of Comcast

LOS ANGELES The value of benchmark Japanese titanium sponge shipped to the United States rose in the fourth quarter compared with the same period a year earlier, but the market pressures contributing to the increase might now be in reverse.
The value of Japanese sponge arriving during the final three months of 2012 averaged $14.846 per kilogram ($6.73 per pound), up 14.6 percent from $12.959 per kg ($5.88 per pound) a year earlier, according to U.S. Commerce Department data compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
Japan is by far the leading source of outside sponge for U.S. producers, accounting for 14,400 tonnes (31.75 million pounds) during the first three quarters of 2012, or 53.7 percent of total imports of 26,800 tonnes (59.08 million pounds). Kazakhstan supplied 24.7 percent of U.S. imports of the material during the same period, according to USGS estimates.
The 2012 price increase was generally attributed to the higher cost of the feedstock ore that contains the titanium dioxide used to produce sponge. The price of high-grade sponge feedstock has been on a roller coaster since 2009, with rutile prices rising to as high as $2,500 per tonne last year from an estimated $500 to $600, helping to send sponge prices higher.
But rutile has retreated to about $1,300 to $1,400 per tonne in the first quarter of this year, according to industry sources.
Moreover, sponge demand reportedly is off as titanium scrap prices continued to decline through last year and into 2013, raising the consumption of competitive revert material, industry sources pointed out.
In large part, the decline in rutile prices reflects a drop in worldwide demand for pigment, by far the largest consumer of titanium dioxide at 90 to 95 percent of worldwide usage compared with just 5 percent for the titanium metal that is produced from sponge.
China has been the major influence on pigment demand over the past few years as its requirements surged in 2011, triggering fears of a shortage and what one observer called an "unprecedented" inventory buildup. That later turned into massive destocking, according to observers. But while most of that inventory might have been worked down, restocking has yet to start.

The decline in scrap the last two months is putting pressure on domestic mills for price relief on rebar. The mills have not yet caved to the pressure.
