Treasury Won't Say If It Has Refused to Allow Banks to Give Back 'Bailout' Money
April 8, 2009 - 6:46 PM
Despite repeated requests from CNSNews.com, the Treasury Deaprtment wouldn't say how many banks want to return TARP money and whether it has refused to allow any to do so.
Despite repeated requests for the information from CNSNews.com, Treasury spokesman Andrew Williams wouldn't say how many financial institutions want to give the money back in exchange for getting their stock back.
Williams said the government would only release the names of those banks that have successfully returned the money.
"We don't release the names of those who have applied until we approve the allocation," he said.
The Treasury Department also will not say whether it has refused any requests from financial institutions to repay the money they took from the government.
"I've got nothing for you," Williams said, when asked if Treasury had refused to take TARP money back from a firm.
So far, five small financial institutions have been allowed to return TARP--or so-called bank "bailout"--money, according to department data that is available. A total of $353 million has been returned.
Three additional firms have applied to return their TARP funds, according to announcements from the banks themselves.
One institution, TCF Financial, which is based in the Minneapolis suburb of Wayzata, Minn., said it has been waiting since early March to hear whether Treasury will return the stock it owns in TCF in return for getting the money back.
"In truth we just haven't heard one way or another, so they're still looking at it and reviewing it and we hope to get an answer soon," TCF spokesman Jason Korstange told CNSNews.com.
TCF, which is the largest bank to have attempted to return taxpayers' money, wants to give back $361.2 million in bailout funds it says it didn't need in the first place.
If successful, it would more than double the amount of public money returned to Treasury.
Korstange said that TCF was approached by Treasury to participate in its Capital Purchase Program because it is a healthy bank, but that recent changes in the program and statements from political leaders cast its participation in a negative light.
Korstange said his bank wants to return the money because of "all the changes" that have been forced on TARP.
Treasury came to the bank with the money, he said, not vice versa.
"When we took the money, it was because only the good banks were going to get the money, the strong banks," Korstange told CNSNews.com. "We believe that we are and we know that we are a strong bank and that's why they came to us and asked that we take it (TARP money).
"Then public perception, quite frankly, led by some of the politicians, changed--it became bailout money and it completely changed the perception of what (the TARP program) is."
After Congress began considering additional limits on executive pay and closer inspections of participating banks, TCF decided to get out as soon as it could.
"Once that happened, the politicians decided they could run the banks (and) that they could tell us all the things we can and cannot do," Korstange said. "So we just said, 'Hey, we don't need this, we didn't need it at the beginning, and we'll give it back to you.'"
Two other firms have announced they have applied to return the money they received from TARP--Sun Bancorp of Vineland, N.J., and Shore Bancshares of Easton, Md.
Sun, which applied March 11, said it expects to repay the funds this week. Shore Bancshares applied on March 26 and has not announced whether it will be allowed to return the money.
The other banks who have sought to return the money echoed TCF's concerns, saying that congressional and administration actions have changed the rules and "stigmatized" their participation, creating a competitive disadvantage, especially executive compensation requirements and proposed federal regulation.

text: It's... irrelevant we're two stories, picture books rubbed raw and torn pages, he's ripped up the middle, down the lines of his face on the left and his right ear dangles over my toes when midnight falls, I watch him, inconspicuous, listen to my sleep. I'm breathing, I'm attacked by May and I used to know lavender beneath the fog, I used to know dawn, I blanketed myself with scratches and wrote love letters to April when I missed the rain... but now I write letters to him, hoping, somewhere, my handwriting can tattoo his skin. He... feels... sometimes, I think it's love, that's what he's termed this undiluted destruction of me and it's a shame I didn't stain him, it's a shame my blood doesn't laugh at him from his palms, it's a shame I don't crawl over him like fleas at midnight, biting, itching and tearing him to shreds... it's a shame I still make him smile. I know the shape of Tuesday evening, she turns sideways beneath the moon, and my thighs become blue with memories and reflections but I leave the window open to confuse tomorrow I crack the glass and pray I don't bleed, I... slice through sunlight, I'm tired and he's sleeping, his eyes are always closed.... and I whisper to Wednesday to steal his eyelashes, I cry to April to blow them to me and I promised, I promised Thursday I'd make these wishes.... but I don't know how to collect. He's ineffectual as long as I'm cold, he's problematic and I sweat, swatting at headlights and curling under blankets, I'm trying to fool myself but my eyes don't close... and I've spit on last January, indignant in her youth, she'll never hear the screaming pain of forgiveness... and my mouth won't close, my teeth won't crash and creek and grind him down... not this close to May, anyway, not this close to Wednesday.

Emily Van Camp, Matthew Rhys and Dave Annable, Brothers and Sisters
The Brothers & Sisters ensemble (sans the actors who play Nora, Robert, Kitty and Sarah) recently walked a red carpet outside the San Antonio Winery (where the show has filmed on occasion) in downtown Los Angeles to celebrate the release of the prime-time serial drama's Season 1 DVD release. TVGuide.com was on the scene to get the scoop on that as well as Season 2, which debuts on Sunday, Sept. 30, at 10 pm/ET, on ABC. Arguably, the biggest shock twist at the end of the show's freshman year was Uncle Saul possibly being gay. (Those longing looks with guest star Michael Nouri sure implied it, didn't they?) Does Ron Rifkin (Saul) know anyone who dealt with their sexual preferences later in life? "Are you kidding?" he responds rhetorically to TVGuide.com. "All of us [know someone like Saul]." That is, if Nora's brother read more
After it was resolved that Justin's deployment to Iraq would be delayed to allow him to work on his recovery, much of his story line has centered on his struggle to shake his addiction. But Justin's fears about going back to war were always there in the background. And tonight those fears became a reality in the worst way, as Justin found out at the last minute that his departure date was earlier than planned. At first I liked the way Justin handled his goodbyes individually until, like Nora, I realized that he was saying goodbye for real, in case he wouldnt be coming back. Even though I can see, rationally, how it doesnt matter whether or not the word goodbye is actually said, I can understand how Nora felt that avoiding a formal goodbye would bring Justin back to her, as if not saying goodbye would make it impossible for him to die. Justins early departure coincided, unfortunately, with Kittys engagement party. Hed already said his ... read more
Although the February sweeps officially have been over for several days, Sunday night sure felt like a sweeps extravaganza, with game-changing episodes of two major series. Both pivotal hours, of Sci Fis Battlestar Galactica and ABCs Brothers & Sisters, dealt with the fate of daughters whose respective departure and arrival is setting off shock waves for their unconventional families (the Galactica crew and the Walker clan).The episode that undoubtedly will cause the largest stir in TV fandom was Galacticas riveting and ultimately devastating journey into the metaphysical, as Starbuck (a brooding, tormented Katee Sackhoff) finally faced and embraced her destiny. Which meant, in a series of visions and hallucinations guided by the specter of the not-quite-Leobon as if he were the Ghost of Psychodramas Past, that Kara had to confront the soul-crushing memories of her abusive mother, who instilled in the self-destructive Starbuck a belief that suffering was good f... read more
Dateline: Venice, California. Some ruthless bug has totally sidelined me. Symptoms include fever and coughing, paranoia and lassitude. Not wishing to become the Typhoid Mary of Brothers & Sisters, I have banished myself to home, and I am going quietly mad in my exile. What is the evil genius, Dr. [Greg] Berlanti cooking up in my absence? Is Balthazar Getty running naked through the hallways? Is Ron Rifkin trying to seize control of the whole show? Will Touchstone fire me and have my house burned down? Has ABC kidnapped my dog Trip and put him on Dancing with the Stars? All these fears and I've only been out of the office for two days. The idle time has given me room, however, to daydream about where the show is headed, some of the issues we are exploring, and how we're doing it:1: Growing Up In America Now. What is it like? To go from the idyllic and safe American childhoods so many of us had to a vastly more dangerous world. Take Justin [Dave Annable], drug-addled, suffering fr... read more
It was nice of Jonathan to give the brothers and sisters some friendly business advice, although I got the impression from his final conversation with Kitty that he might not be that optimistic about the future of the family business. I actually felt kind of bad for him when he and Kitty were breaking up, even though Jonathan often comes off as arrogant and I never really liked him for Kitty. He appeared to be genuinely sad, and he also apparently knew Kitty better than she thought, as he seemed aware that she hadnt fully let him in.But tonight was really all about Nora and Kitty for me. Sally Field was great as usual, especially when Nora realized her date with David the contractor wasnt really a date. How awful, and it only seemed worse when Nora tried to salvage it with jokes about her comedic timing being off. It was good to see Treat Williams (Everwood) back on TV again as David, even though things ended awkwardly between him and Nora. Kitty ... read more
Question: Brothers & Sisters is getting better every week. The first episode I thought was so-so, the second I thought was good, but the third just blew me away. The final conversation between Ron Rifkin and Patricia Wettig broke my heart, and I thought that few series would do as skillful a job of showing how the dead father hurt both his wife and his mistress. Basically, this show has intelligent, deeply felt dialogue and one of the most talented casts on TV right now. It has only one problem, but it's a big one: Calista Flockhart. I don't know why, but her face doesn't move any more, and her character is shallow and off-putting compared to the others. And she's nominally the lead! Can an ensemble show (particularly one with an ensemble as talented as this) jettison its main character? Any chance this would happen? Answer: I agree that the third episode (in which Sally Field "outed" the mistress) was the best yet, and I also feel that Kitty (Flockhart) is the least realized of the ... read more
Question: I just wanted to thank you for the hard work you do giving us the chance to talk about television. The greatness of your columns is that you really discuss television, not spoilers. You present arguments, opinions and facts regarding every TV issue, and you let us be part of this debate. I look forward to your column every week. Though it is still very early to form a proper opinion on a lot of new fall series, what do you think about Brothers & Sisters? I have been reading that the show may be a little too depressing for Sunday night. My hope knows no limits regarding this show, since I think it has a flawless cast (especially now that Sally Field has joined it). Also, I would like to know your expectations for the new season of Desperate Housewives. It is true that in its sophomore year the show took a wrong turn, but I think that it can reach perfection once again. Answer: Gee, thanks for the testimonial. The main reason I can't discuss Brothers & Sisters with any ... read more

Biomarkers of Kidney Disease
Edited by- Charles Edelstein
Medical and pharmaceutical researchers in nephrology and related renal diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, preeclampsia, lupus); fellows and academic clinicians in nephrology, cardiology, urology, transplant, OB/GYN
Hardbound, 454 Pages
Published: September 2010
Imprint: Academic Press
"The emergence of biomarkers to aid diagnosis, guide treatment, and provide prognosis remains one of the hot topics in nephrology. In this new book edited by Charles Edelstein, experts present the state of the art information on the current development and use of biomarkers for a wide range of kidney diseases, including acute kidney injury, glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, and preeclampsia. I found this book well written and informative, and I would recommend this textbook to anyone interested in new approaches for diagnosing and managing subjects with kidney disease. While many of the tests are still at the level of investigation, it is heartwarming to see how much has already been done to develop quicker and more accurate ways to diagnose various kidney diseases." -Richard J. Johnson, M.D., Temple Hoyne Buell and NKF of Colorado Endowed Professor of Medicine, Chief, Division of Renal Diseases and Hypertension, University of Colorado, Denver, USA "Biomarkers of Kidney Disease, edited by Charles Edelstein, is an excellent state-of-the-art summary which also includes a comprehensive account of newer biomarker discover strategies, such as metabolomics and proteomics, all illustrated by clear examples. There are timely accounts of both acute and chronic kidney diseases and the topics of cancer, diabetic nephropathy, other glomerular diseases, and pre-ecclampsia all receive careful attention. This book will be a very useful reference for both scientists and nephrologists alike." -Professor Zoltán H. Endre, Head, Department of Medicine, University of Otago-Christchurch; Consultant Nephrologist, Christchurch Hospital; Honorary Professor of Medicine University of Queensland & Adjunct Professor University of Canterbury, New Zealand "Biomarkers of Kidney Disease explores both the practical and conceptual steps performed in the discovery of biomarkers in kidney disease. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn and gain insight into kidney proteomics and biomarker discovery. It will be most useful for those researchers and clinicians who study and treat kidney disease but students of biomarkers in general will also gain useful insights into this interesting field. The book covers a lot of basics and even experts will pick up a thing or two." - Prof. Dr. Hassan Dihazi, Director Clinical Proteomics Laboratories, Nephrology & Rheumatology, University Medical Centre, Georg-August University Goettingen, Germany

See, the season 5 American Idol also-ran is possibly most famous for nearly getting an asswhupping on national TV at the famous fleet-fingered hands of Queen axeman Brian May, who was none too thrilled with Ace's attempt to remake "We Will Rock You" as an R&B slow-jam. It was certainly a case of Queen beating the Ace that time around.
The seventh-place runner-up also gained notoriety this year when he returned to the Fox network on Bones, playing the rather undignified role of a karaoke singer who warbles Nickelback and later gets murdered. (Hey, he sang a Nickelback song--he had it coming!)But yo, don't you feel too sorry for Ace. He ain't doing too shabbily. After all, the guy co-wrote the gibungous "It's Not Over" with former fellow finalist Chris Daughtry--meaning he not only made a massive chunk of change, but he got nominated for a friggin' Grammy.
So anyway, when Ace isn't relaxing on a giant pillowy pile of Daughtry and Bones royalty money, he still makes his own music. Wisely, he's sticking to originals nowadays, and staying the hell away from Queen covers.
Check out Ace's latest video, "Addicted," below....and get even more jealous of the man's good fortune as he beds/bathes with a supermodel and flaunts his glossy Men's Fitness-style biceps and perfect hair.
Who's laughing now, Brian May?

When it comes to fashion, with a little planning, you can fool people into thinking you're richer, younger, taller or even ten pounds thinner than you are. Clinton shows you how!
Looking Younger
Even if you're getting a little older, trends are still important and one of the biggest ones this season is bright colors. Also, draw attention to the non-sagging areas including your lower leg, wrists and lower arms.
On the other hand, don't try to dress too young. No mini skirts, tube tops or overdone makeup. Leave that to the teens.
Look Richer
You can look like a million bucks even if you don't have it to spend on clothes. Simply invest in a classic silhouette in a good quality fabric that will last. Then pair your outfit with a piece of statement jewelry and a moc croc bag.
Look Taller
Most of us would like to look a little bit taller. There are some simple tricks you can apply to get that long and lean look. First wear colors in the same family; this will elongate your neck and legs. Pair your outfit with a nude shoe and always match your pants or stocking to your shoe. Finally avoid capris or cropped pants since they cut the leg into sections and make you look shorter.
Look 10 Pounds Thinner
Most women want to look even a little thinner. Here's how you do it. Wear a jacket that nips you in the waist. Add a pair of dark wash jeans which are slimming and a body hugging top that will give you clean lines.

Osteoporosis overlooked in men
Wednesday - 11/6/2013, 4:48am  ET
WASHINGTON - Osteoporosis is not just a disease for mom and grandma. Men can get it too.
"I think we underestimate the prevalence of osteoporosis in men," says Dr. Assil Saleh with Foxhall Internists in D.C. "It is an overlooked problem and under-diagnosed. And it is actually becoming an important public health issue as our population is aging."
While post-menopausal women still make up the bulk of patients with osteoporosis, the condition is becoming more and more common in men, particularly those older than 65.
An estimated two million American men have the disease and another 12 million are at risk, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation.
Some have underlying health conditions, such as problems with joints or tendons, low testosterone, or conditions that require prolonged treatment with medications that can affect bone mass. But the lifestyle choices men make while they are young can have a big impact on bone health decades later.
The National Institutes of Health says alcohol abuse can affect bone density, as can smoking and a lack of exercise.
Saleh, who is both a rheumatologist and an internist, says the most important thing young men can do to prevent osteoporosis as they age "is to exercise and keep active throughout their adult life."
She says getting enough vitamin D is also important.
The NIH recommends 600 IU (international units) a day before age 70, and 800 IU daily for men older than 70 -- the same as for women. Calcium intake is also fairly similar -- 1,000 mg a day for most adults, rising to 1,200 mg daily for women at 51 and for men at 70.
Screening is likely to be more intense for women, starting with a baseline bone scan similar to an X-ray at the onset of menopause. Men are less likely to get a bone scan until after they suffer a fracture.
That is what happened with Saleh's own father, who was diagnosed with osteoporosis 10 years ago after he broke a bone.
"I was surprised because osteoporosis in men was not really on my radar screen at the time -- even as a physician, even as a rheumatologist in training," she says.
Saleh says her father's diagnosis made her more aware of the problem and these days, she is vigilant when it comes to screening her patients for risk factors.
As for her dad, the proud daughter and physician says he is doing well. Like many elderly men with osteoporosis, he is taking a prescription medication originally developed just for women to prevent fractures and further bone loss.
Not all drugs for osteoporosis are cleared for use by both sexes. But the four that have been approved for men include some of the most popular brand name medications for the disease: Fossomax and Actonel.

Milwaukee Brewers: All 25 Players' Odds of Being 2012 All-Stars
By Alec Dopp ,
Thanks in large part to their loyal fanbase, the Milwaukee Brewers have sent a number of their top players to Major League Baseball's mid-summer classic—otherwise known as the MLB All Star game—over the past few seasons.
Last year, former first baseman Prince Fielder stole the show with a three-run home run that propelled the National League to a 5-1 victory over the American League. Second baseman Rickie Weeks also earned a starting spot on the NL roster, while Ryan Braun was elected as a reserve outfielder.
With some of the most devoted fans in baseball who aren't afraid to fill out as many All-Star ballots as possible, it's almost inevitable that a number of Brewers will take the field for the National League next summer in Kansas City. But which players have the best odds at making the trip to Kauffman Stadium?
Since Milwaukee's season opens this Friday against the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals, it's time to take an A-to-Z look at each player's All-Star odds.
Make sure to check out our live play-by-play blog of opening day festivities at Miller Park this Friday. We will take you right up to the scheduled 3:10 PM CT first-pitch.

Chances he's an All-Star: one percent
The Brewers brought in three-time Japanese batting champ Norichika Aoki this past winter to add depth and a valuable left-handed bat to their outfield. He will be forced to battle for playing time with Nyjer Morgan and Carlos Gomez in center field, and based on that fact alone, there isn't much of a chance he's elected to the NL roster this spring.
I'd hate to deem it an impossible task for the former Japanese slugger to be selected to the All-Star roster. For now, we'll keep it at a slim one percent chance.
Chances he's an All-Star: 75 percent
How John Axford wasn't able to make it to the All-Star game last season is beyond me.
Prior to the break last season, Milwaukee's 29-year-old closer garnered a 2.83 ERA, notched 23 saves in 25 opportunities and boasted a 11.54 K/9 that finished second among all National League closers. He completed his campaign with an league-best 1.96 ERA and tied for the league lead in saves (46).
Judging by how well he was able to gain continuity throughout the league toward the latter portion of last season, it's hard to imagine him not being able to find his way on the National League roster next July. Barring some unforeseen decrease in production, I give Axford a great shot at making the All-Star roster.
Chances he's an All-Star: 90 percent
Ryan Braun has been named to the NL roster in each of the past four seasons, and that trend doesn't look to change this season.
Sure, there will be a good number of fans who will be hesitant to vote for Braun after his battle with a 50-game performance enhancing drug suspension, however, there are just as many, if not more who will fill in the dot for Braun based strictly off his productivity.
At the end of the day, it's nearly impossible not to vote for a career first-half line of .306/.368/.543 with an average of 16 home runs, 54 RBI, 52 runs scored and 11 stolen bases. Given his scintillating late-spring training successes and unambiguous motivation to silence his critics, I'd say he's ready for another trip to the mid-summer classic.
Chances he's an All-Star: one percent
There was a fair number of those who doubted Tim Dillard would even make the opening day 25-man roster. While the 28-year-old skyscraper of a pitcher managed to do that, there's isn't much chance he finds a spot on the National League's roster this summer.
Since Dillard was one of the last to be named to the roster, there won't be many opportunities for him to strut his stuff out of the bullpen. The only way Milwaukee's notorious clubhouse comedian will be able to make the trip to Kansas City is if he's virtually unhittable in his brief appearances.
Since there's probably no chance at that happening, the odds of him making the NL roster aren't too high, either.
Chances he's an All-Star: one percent
Marco Estrada has been a solid bullpen arm for the Brewers in each of the past two seasons and has even found success as a fill-in starter from time to time. However, he is not going to be an All-Star in 2012.
Overshadowed by the likes of John Axford, Francisco Rodriguez, Kameron Loe and Jose Veras out of Milwaukee's 'pen, Estrada doesn't look to have many opportunities for success this season. Ergo, it's hard to imagine him gathering enough praise from fans to have any real shot at the NL roster.
Chances he's an All-Star: 65 percent
Yovani Gallardo was simply amazing last season, leading all Brewer starters in wins (17), ERA (3.52), strikeouts (207) and quality starts (23). However, his best work clearly came prior to the All-Star break.
In 16 starts, Milwaukee's 25-year-old ace went 10-2 with a 3.00 ERA and 104 strikeouts, holding opponents to a .261 BA and maintaining a 4.28 SO/BB. If there was one Brewer starter most deserving to make the 2011 All-Star roster, it was Gallardo.
Supposing that he can perpetuate his impressive strikeout ratio while somewhat lowering his ERA, there's no question Gallardo will have a legitimate shot at be selected to this summer's All-Star game.
Chances he's an All-Star: 10 percent
Mat Gamel had the most success of any Brewer at spring camp, managing a solid .246/.317/.596 line with six home runs and 14 RBI in 21 preseason games. If Milwaukee's new first baseman can transfer his momentum from this spring to the regular season, he'll have a puncher's chance at a reserve spot on the National League roster.
Many of his doubters point to his career .222 BA as cause for concern. However, should Gamel's "take-nothing-for-granted" attitude from this spring continue well into—at the very least —the first half of this season, there's no doubt he could vie for the NL's final roster spot.
Chances he's an All-Star: two percent
No one will question what Carlos Gomez brings to the table from a purely baseball talent standpoint. He can steal bases, play the outfield with great efficiency and be willing to take one for the team. The only knock to his game would be his inconsistencies at the plate.
Unfortunately, those deficiencies will be enough to force him into a three-man platoon in center field for the Brewers. Consequently, his lack of playing time won't give him enough opportunities to make his case to be selected to the NL All-Star roster.
Chances he's an All-Star: eight percent
Alex Gonzalez has but once been selected to an All-Star roster over the span of his 13-year career, with his lone appearance coming in 1999 as a member of the Florida Marlins. He's never been known for his bat, however, he has been known for his exceptional play at shortstop.
The question is, will his defensive prowess be enough to convince voters to select him to this year's NL roster? The answer to that question is likely a "no."
Still, Milwaukee's newly acquired shortstop had a tremendous spring at the plate, amassing a .440/.472/.780 line with four home runs, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored. If he can produce above expectations at the plate while rekindling his defensive proficiency of year's past, he could find himself in a reserve role for the NL in the mid-summer classic.
Chances he's an All-Star: 75 percent
Zack Greinke was flat-out dominant in the second half of his first year in Milwaukee's rotation, and he continued his success this spring. In four starts against Cactus League hitters, Greinke posted a feeble 1.04 ERA and 0.75 WHIP while striking out 26 in just 17.1 innings of work.
Unlike last season, Greinke comes into 2012 at full health and a ton of confidence to go with it. He missed his first two scheduled starts of 2011 due to a hairline fracture of his ribs. This season, the former Cy Young Award winner is ready to thrive as the Brewers' No. 2 starter behind Yovani Gallardo.
If he is anywhere close to what he was toward the end of last season, not only will he compete to be the starter for the NL in the All-Star game, but he'll gather a ton of votes to take home Cy Young honors for the second time in his career.
Chances he's an All-Star: 30 percent
Despite missing the first month of his 2011 campaign, Corey Hart was notably productive last season for Ron Roenicke. He managed a .277/.334/.487 line with 26 home runs and 63 RBI to go with 80 runs scored. If not for injury, who knows what Hart might have accomplished last season.
Though he was forced to sit this spring out after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus, it looks like he'll be a go when the season kicks off this Friday.
Hart made the NL All-Star roster in both 2008 and 2010, averaging a .276/.320/.492 line with 26 home runs, 97 RBI, 84 runs scored and 15 stolen bases between the two seasons. If he is productive right from the get-go in his 2012 campaign, there's no doubt he can eclipse those averages and have a good shot at an All-Star roster spot this summer.
Chances he's an All-Star: zero percent
The Brewers came to terms with first baseman Travis Ishikawa on a minor league deal last December in an effort to beef up their bench after failing to re-sign a number of players from the 2011 squad.
Truth be told, Ishikawa was one of the better performers at spring camp. In 26 games, the former San Francisco Giant put up a very solid .259/.403/.463 line with two home runs, 8 RBI and 11 runs scored. His noteworthy spring was enough to beat out Brooks Conrad for the team's final roster spot.
Unfortunately, Ishikawa isn't likely to get much playing time this season behind Mat Gamel, so the odds of him somehow making the NL roster this summer are astronomically low.
Chances he's an All-Star: zero percent
It was officially announced Wednesday that veteran utility infielder Cesar Izturis indeed made the Brewers' 25-man roster to open the regular season. The two sides came to an agreement on a minor league deal in mid-January.
A one-time All-Star and former Gold Glove Award winner, Izturis appeared in 26 games this spring, driving in 10 runs on 13 hits and hoarding 17 total bases in preseason action.
While there's no doubting the tried veteran will provide depth and versatility to manager Ron Roenicke's bench, there's absolutely no chance he makes the NL roster this summer.
Chance he's an All-Star: zero percent
George Kottaras is everything the Brewers could possibly want out of a backup catcher. He can hit fairly well, play solid defense behind the dish and handle a big-league starting rotation.
That said, I'm not sure if a backup catcher has ever been selected to an All-Star roster.
Kottaras is a dependable second-string catcher behind Jonathan Lucroy, however, if he can't manage to be his team's starter, then how does he plan to beat out the best of the best for an All-Star roster spot?
Chances he's an All-Star: one percent
Kameron Loe pitched modestly as Milwaukee's set-up man prior to the acquisition of Francisco Rodriguez last season, garnering a 4.23 ERA and a .236 BAA with 32 punch-outs in 38.1 innings of work in the eighth inning.
But with Rodriguez cemented into the setup role, and newly acquired Jose Veras likely to work the seventh inning, Loe will be demoted to Milwaukee's No. 4 arm out of the bullpen. Loe's opportunities to find success will be limited this season and that will ultimately take away from the All-Star votes he otherwise would have received.
Loe is a solid reliever and there's no doubt he'll get his innings this season. The likelihood of him making the trip to Kauffman Stadium in mid-July just isn't realistic at this juncture, however.
Chances he's an All-Star: 10 percent
The Brewers rewarded Jonathan Lucroy for his exceptional play behind the plate by extending his contract for five-years and $11 million last week, and by no means was it a publicity stunt.
In his first full season as Milwaukee's starting catcher, Lucroy garnered a .993 fielding percentage, a 8.99 range factor and a caught-stealing percentage of 28 percent, all of which ranked in the top 15 of MLB catchers. He also batted .265 with 12 home runs and 59 RBI despite batting in front of the pitcher's spot on Ron Roenicke's lineup.
All things considered, Lucroy is one of the better all-around catchers in the game today. The only thing holding him back (and it's a big reason) from an NL roster spot is the superior depth and talent at the position. Brian McCann, Buster Posey and Miguel Montero will have things under wraps for a very long time.
Chance he's an All-Star: 20 percent
Shaun Marcum was the anchor that stabilized Milwaukee's rotation throughout last season, and it's fairly surprising that he didn't get more All-Star recognition. Posting a 3.39 ERA with SO/BB rate of 3.06, one could make the case that Marcum was Ron Roenicke's most efficient starter prior to the break.
While Marcum made just one spring training appearance this spring due to shoulder soreness, reports show that he'll be ready to take the mound as Milwaukee's No. 4 starter to start 2012.
If he can improve upon his numbers from the first half of last season, there's a legitimate chance he gets selected to the NL roster. The competition will be stiff, though, so he'll really need to put on a show in the early stages of 2012.
Chances he's an All-Star: 10 percent
Nyjer Morgan was simply incredible even out of a center field platoon role in manager Ron Roenicke's lineup, providing a great deal of offensive production whenever asked. But with a healthy Carlos Gomez and the addition of Norichika Aoki, will Morgan get enough opportunities at success get a spot on the NL roster?
We all know Morgan will get his fair share of fan votes strictly based off his popularity, however, splitting time with two other players will significantly lower his offensive output. For that reason, it will be tough for the scrappy 31-year-old to make his first All-Star appearance.
Chances he's an All-Star: 10 percent
Chris Narveson was as solid as they come as Milwaukee's No. 5 start last season, and after a couple nice outings this spring, there's a chance he makes even more strides during his 2012 campaign.
Unfortunately, the odds of Narveson hoarding enough votes to make the NL roster are tremendously high. Even if the 30-year-old southpaw somehow manages to put together a superb first half, it will extremely difficult to gain enough recognition throughout the league to make a serious run at a roster spot.
Chances he's an All-Star: one percent
Manny Parra and the Brewers agreed to terms on a one-year contract in January that was said to be worth $1.2 Million. He followed up his new deal with a solid spring, garnering a 1.86 ERA with 11 strikeouts and three walks over 9.2 total innings.
After an injury-plagued 2011 season, Parra will look to hold an important role in Milwaukee's bullpen this season. The problem is, he'll only be reduced to pitching in low-leverage situations, which will significantly decrease his opportunities to strut his stuff to All-Star voters.
I'd hate to give him a zero percent chance to make the NL roster, so we'll leave his odds of making the mid-summer classic at a healthy one percent.
Chances he's an All-Star: 70 percent
New Brewers add-on Aramis Ramirez will be asked to mitigate the offensive productivity lost when Prince Fielder officially departed town last January. While no one will argue that producing Fielder-type numbers will be near impossible, Ramirez will still have a great shot at putting up his gaudy numbers of years' past.
With Ryan Braun in front of him, the 33-year-old Ramirez will have an exorbitant number of opportunities to drive in runs this season, and All-Star voters should give him enough recognition to make his third appearance at the mid-summer classic because of it.
Heck, if Ramirez took home Silver Slugger honors (.306/.361/.510, 26 HR, 93 RBI) last season in a porous Chicago Cubs lineup, then it's safe to assume he'll thrive as Milwaukee's cleanup man in 2012. Look for Ramirez to have a monster first half and at the very least lock up a reserve spot on the NL roster this summer.
Chances he's an All-Star: 60 percent
Francisco Rodriguez performed magnificently after making his way to Milwaukee's bullpen following the All-Star break. He posted a feeble 1.86 ERA and struck out over 10 batters per nine innings pitched in 29 innings as Ron Roenicke's setup man down the stretch last season.
Rodriguez has been selected to four All-Star games over the course of his Hall of Fame-bound career, his latest coming in 2009. If he's anywhere near as effective as he was during his abbreviated stay with Milwaukee last season, you've got to believe a pitching-needy team will have a handsome new contract waiting for him next winter.
K-Rod is already considered to be the best eighth-inning man in the National League. But when you add in the fact that he's due to be a free agent next winter, there's no doubt the added motivation will give him a great shot at another All-Star appearance.
Chances he's an All-Star: nine percent
If there's one player that could make a "dark-horse" type run at an All-Star selection this season, it would be Milwaukee's newly acquired reliever Jose Veras.
The 31-year-old Veras has been a strikeout machine over the course of his six-year career, punching out over nine batters per nine innings pitched, while conceding just over seven hits per nine innings. He struggles with walks at times, but if he's able to polish his command, there's an outside chance he could make a run at the NL roster as Milwaukee's primary seventh-inning man.
Chances he's an All-Star: 75 percent
Rickie Weeks avoided injury and put together a terrific 2011 first half, putting up a .278/.351/.486 line with 17 home runs, 39 RBI and 67 runs scored and was named the NL's starting second baseman in the mid-summer classic. It was Weeks' first ever trip to the All-Star game.
With Prince Fielder gone, Weeks will have the opportunity to put up even better numbers in 2011. The question is whether or not Milwaukee's second baseman can stay healthy and produce up to his capacity.
Brewers fans have yet to witness Weeks at his best, but this year could very well be that year. If that's the case, expect to see him suiting up for the NL come mid-July.
Chances he's an All-Star: 12 percent
Randy Wolf didn't receive much notoriety for what he accomplished as Milwaukee's No. 4 starter last season. He led the team with 212.1 innings last season and his 21 quality starts were second only to Yovani Gallardo's 23.
He also didn't receive much love from All-Star voters, either, and that will in all likelihood stay the same this season. Wolf is a solid starter that many teams would love to have at the end of their rotation, however, at 35 years old, a spot on the NL roster this summer is just a pipe dream at this juncture.
Nothing is impossible in baseball, especially when it comes to the All-Star selection process. Since fans ultimately have the final say in who goes to the mid-summer classic and who doesn't, there's always a chance that a player gets selected who isn't actually deserving of a roster spot.
Today, we tried to remain as forthright as possible when assigning All-Star odds for each player on the Brewers' 25-man roster. Yes, every player is fully capable of being selected to the mid-summer classic, however, which players have a realistic shot at accomplishing such a feat?
Here are the guys we're banking on to make the trip to Kansas City this July:
- Ryan Braun
- Zack Greinke
- Yovani Gallardo
- John Axford
- Rickie Weeks
- Aramis Ramirez
On the fringe:
- Francisco Rodriguez
- Corey Hart

I'm now slowly but surely working my way through Asda's brand of children's sweets and will in time duly review them on here. The bag I most recently picked up (and have eaten) is Asda White Mice and I have to say that once again I was more than impressed. These sweets like come in a 75g bag and cost 38p. They can also be bought on offer, which is 3 bags for a £1. Ok this doesn't save you a fortune, 14p in fact, but every penny counts.

As far as pick'n'mix goes, White chocolate ch mice are generally considered a favourite, despite not tasting of white chocolate at all. The sickly sweet flavour mean that they often end up in the bottom of the bag when the buyer is finished. Even those with a sweet tooth will probably agree that it is difficult to enjoy more than one or two of them, and it certainly doesn't help that they tend to have quite a stale taste, and frequently melt in the bag, and stick to the sides, resulting in a sickly chewy papery snack...Yum. Often in pic'n'mix areas, the bag has to be weighed to determine the cost, and since white mice are rather heavy for such a low-quality ... Read the complete review

General Ledger and Budget Reporting
Why don't I see any encumbrances when I run a report for a Fiscal Year and Accounting Period prior to January of FY2007?
Historical encumbrances were not brought forward in the upgrade. All encumbrances that currently exist on the system (HR and PO) were reestablished in version 8.9. If you wish to see historical encumbrance balances you can access the monthly reports that were run in version 7.5.
What is "Associated Revenue?"
Associated Revenue is the version 8.9 equivalent of the "Revenue Driven" budgets in 7.5. When revenue is recorded for revenue driven funds in 8.9, it increases the spending authority for that Fund/Department but does not increase the budget amount. The Associated Revenue is the amount that the spending authority has been increased by the revenue.
I get a warning when I budget check. What does this mean?
This means you are over budget on a non-controlled budget. The transaction will still have a valid budget status but you may want to check on your budget.

Worst service centres ever. I have used Northbridge and Morley.They forget to do jobs, don't offer or give you a lift anywhere, their services miss out heaps of simple tasks like filling up the oil, water in wipers.They miss jobs off their lists. They charge WAY too much for second rate service, the reception girls are clueless, lazy and unhelpful.They are happt to leave you stranded without your car and half the jobs not being completed and offer no suggestion of help as to how you are going to get to work or home.DO NOT USE RAC for services. They are lazy, unhelpful and will not do the jobs that you pay for. RIPOFF !!

RAC Pre Purchase Vehicle InspectionAfter buying a vehicle earlier in the year which failed its MOT I decided on a RAC inspection check with my next potential car. Called them on a Tuesday to book an inspection to be told it will take 7 days for them to do, despite it saying on their website "takes 3 working days". I was told they would inform the dealer, of the the arrangement, which they did not do, and then failed to contact me with the report after. Was told they would email me a report by "7pm the same of the inspection" then was told it would take 2 days to process. All in all the dealer got annoyed that it took over 2 weeks to buy a car, and threatened to terminate the deal. Go for the AA, RAC are a waste of time and money.

I have had RAC cover since before I had even started to drive as it is included as an extra on my bank account, so its hard to judge exactly how much I pay each month, although working it out roughly taking into account what else I get with my account its probably costing me about £5-6 a month which I feel is very ...

Three years ago when I passed my driving test my step-dad kindly got me RAC membership.

Oh dear, another candidate for a zero star rating...if only there was one. Back in 2007, I'd been an RAC member for several years - paying the highest level of cover, because i travel far and often for work and needed to know that any problems with my car could be sorted, or at least i'd be got home.

I thought I would give some information regarding the car checks that can be bought from the RAC. In the current economic climate it is surprising how used car sales are still relatively popular but consumers must now make absolutely certain that they are not buying a wreck. The RAC offer a range of vehicle inspections that ... Read the complete review

I am from United States. I am a city planner. I lived in Albania for two years, doing development work.
Karl and his girlfriend, who are normally separated by thousands of miles, had a romantic ten-day rendezvous in Barcelona. They are very nice people and it was a pleasure to host them. They were very respectful of my space and of course I gave them the privacy they needed. In his review Karl noted that the apartment was a bit hot and noisy. This is really only a problem in July/August when the city is sometimes very hot and humid (so everyone in the city suffers!) and the windows that give on to the street have to be open at least some of the time for ventilation. Normally the triple-glazed windows that I installed in the guest section of the apartment are closed and they are very effective at shutting out the noise.

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.
Vintage photos of:
Washington, D.C., circa 1927. "Nature Magazine -- Walter Layman." Traveling the country with his dog Little Pocahontas, Walter Layman documented Native American culture with photographs that appeared in magazines including National Geographic and Nature. National Photo glass negative. View full size.
Walter's camera looks like a Graflex RB Auto. It's my favorite Graflex, because it has a double extension bellows.
Walter loved traveling around the US and taking photos for National Geographic, mostly of the American Indians and the National Parks. He also painted many landscapes and Indians.
I would hazard to guess that the young lady in the driver's seat didn't know that the photographer could see the top of her stocking. This was VERY risque for the times.
As for the dogs, I suspect that Pocahontas is the one behind this young lady. This dog has the look of a general "Indian style" dog. the other two look to have terrier in them and, since Fox terriers were one of the most popular breeds during this time, this would not be a far stretch.
The buildings in the background are 1216, 1218, 1220 and 1222 16th Street NW. Only 1220 has changed significantly with its Miami Vice skin of stucco. The block is right around the corner from the National Geographic headquarters.
Traversing the country alone, without a gas station every five miles, no interstates, a handful of highways, probably not much more than a dirt path in many cases, nights so dark few of us could really imagine them, and perhaps going days without seeing another soul. Throw in an open car and inevitable rains or even snow, and that had to be quite an adventure.
Yes, Walter did us all a favor when he stepped in front of a camera.
Hagerstown (Maryland) Morning Herald, November 7, 1928.
TRAVEL LECTURES HEREIndian Dogs Accompanying Lecturer
Attract Much AttentionPocahontas, an Indian dog who has traveled all over the United States, and her three children, Minnehaha, Pocatello and Sacajawea, are centers of attraction this week for schoolchildren who are hearing lectures by Walter Layman, traveling artist and photographer.
Mr. Layman obtained Pocahontas from Idaho Indians ten years ago and since then the dog has accompanied him on sightseeing tours to the most interesting spots in the United States. She is supposed to be part coyote. Her travel adventures are told in a book written by Mr. Layman. Mr. Layman shows lantern slides of the places he has visited. His canine companions are popular with children and drew a large crowd about his automobile when it was parked on Washington Street yesterday afternoon. Sacajawea, one of the three fluffy yellow pups, is named after the Indian girl who guided Lewis and Clark.
Mr Layman is speaking with the endorsement of B.J. Grimes, superintendent of schools. His schedule this week will be at the Washington Street School this morning at 9 o'clock; at the Boonsboro School this afternoon; at Broadway all day Thursday; at Smithsburg Friday morning; at Halfway Friday afternoon.
Judging by their complexions and clothes compared with Mr Layman's. I suspect they were added to the picture for decorative effect - which they certainly provide.
I wonder if there were more pictures in National Geographic?
I'd suggest this guy should invest in tires when he gets his first check.
call for X-ray vision. What was he thinking?
Is his pipe attached to a string around his neck?
So this is, therefore, the original Dodge Ram!
Wow, looks like Harrison Ford and a fabulous retinue. So, which one is Pocahontas? And are those his partners, daughters, or simply admirers? Must've been a good life - whe does the movie come out?
Great shot, thanks!
If you keep your pipe on a chain around your neck.
Perhaps Walter "shot" more than just Indians. PETA would have been annoyed.
Oh, so cute ladies (especially left *fell in love*)! And dogs are very nice too. But sculls are a bit frightening. Wonderful photo!

I am an avid traveller and have been very lucky to vist some pretty incredible places. I have recently been on a South and Central America kick: Brazil, Peru, Chile and Guatemala, and Costa Rica. All those countries offer so much beauty and a variety of activities that makes vacationing there amazing.
I am a very good guest, clean and proper. I don't drink so I'm not a party animal, but I don't just sit around lounging in the hotel when I travel, I like to eat at local spots and I'm a sucker for museums and outdoor activites. I'm not brand loyal to a particular travel book, I used to get Fromer's a lot and then I got a lonely planet book and realized they all have their flaws.

The United States condemned a Hezbollah-backed assault on the town of Qusayr, as France kept up the pressure for action over what it said was the regime's use of sarin gas.
The condemnation came as efforts to organise a peace conference in Geneva between the warring sides stalled, with diplomats blaming differences over who could take part.
Washington accused the regime of President Bashar al-Assad of having relied on Hezbollah fighters from Lebanon to win the battle for the strategic town of Qusayr near the Lebanese border, after rebels were ousted following a devastating 17-day assault.
A White House statement condemned the Syrian regime's assault on the town, "which has killed untold numbers of civilians and is causing tremendous humanitarian suffering".
"It is clear that the regime could not contest the opposition's control of Qusayr on its own, and is depending upon Hezbollah and Iran to do its work for it in Qusayr," the statement said.
White House spokesman Jay Carney renewed a call for Hezbollah and Iran to withdraw their fighters from Syria.
France has said it has proof Syria used deadly sarin gas -- a banned nerve agent -- on at least one occasion, and French President Francois Hollande kept up the pressure Wednesday.
"We have provided the elements of proof that now obligate the international community to act," he told reporters in Paris.
Britain said it also had evidence of sarin use, but had passed it on to the UN for independent verification a week ago and would wait for its findings.
The UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria has said there are "reasonable grounds" to believe both sides had used chemical weapons.
Kerry, on the sidelines of an Organization of American States meeting in Antigua, said he had spoken to French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius about their findings.
"I asked him... whether he could send us the information that shows us the chain of custody of that evidence, so we know precisely where it came from," he said.
In Syria, the rebels conceded the loss of Qusayr after controlling it for a year, but opposition interim leader George Sabra declared they would fight on "until the whole country is liberated".
The army said the "heroic victory" in the offensive, launched on May 19, served as a warning that it would "crush" the rebels and bring "security and stability to every inch of our land".
The battle for Qusayr, a conduit for fighters and weapons just 10 kilometres (six miles) from Lebanon and linking Damascus to the Mediterranean coast, left the town in ruins.
Its capture opens the way for forces loyal to Assad to move on the central city of Homs, much of which the rebels still control.
State television showed tanks rolling through deserted streets strewn with dust and bricks from shattered buildings, as well as cases of rockets which fleeing rebels had apparently abandoned in a hideout.
Soldiers looked on, their Kalashnikov assault rifles lowered, as bulldozers cleared away debris in the main square, where Syria's flag flew atop a badly damaged clock tower.
The rebels admitted "this is a round that we have lost", but added they would fight on against "the thousands of Lebanese mercenaries" -- an apparent reference to Hezbollah.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the army and fighters from the powerful Shiite movement Hezbollah had taken Qusayr after an "intense bombardment" Tuesday night.
At least 11 government troops had been killed and 25 wounded in the final hours of fighting for the town, it added.
Hours after Qusayr fell, at least five rockets launched from across Lebanon's border with Syria hit the eastern Lebanese city of Baalbek, a Hezbollah stronghold.
Two landed in the city's Roman ruins and the other three hit the city centre, a security source told AFP. Two people were injured in the attack.
Russian, UN and US envoys meeting in Geneva failed to set a date for face-to-face talks between the Syrian regime and rebel representatives.
"It will not be possible to hold this conference in June," UN-Arab League peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi told reporters, adding that he hoped for a July date.
Russia and the US have struggled to overcome rebel objections to a proposed invitation to the government side without a prior commitment that Assad step down.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said Iran's participation, opposed by many Western and Arab governments but championed by Moscow, was also an obstacle.
Human Rights Watch accused both sides of using schools for military purposes in a report released early Thursday.
It described how pro-regime forces fired on school buildings that were not being used for military purposes.
One student described hiding under her desk as machinegun fire hit the school walls; another told how she had fled as tank shells hit her school.
"Syrian children have had to face things in the horrors of war that no child should have to bear: interrogated, targeted, and attacked," said Priyanka Motaparthy, who compiled the report.

It has recently been revealed that the pod2g (the hacker who created the SHAtter bootrom exploit for iPhone) is no longer affiliated with the chronic boot team, he is now working independently.
At first people were worried that this may affect the release of the GreenPois0n Jailbreak for iOS 4.1, however it seems as if the greenpois0n jailbreak development shouldn't be affected.
If you check out pod2g's Twitter feed you can see a few tweets explaining the situation, firstly he said "From now on, I'm not affiliated with chronic dev team anymore. I'm now working independently", he then added "This is not a big deal for final users at all, as I gave details of my SHAtter exploit to both chronic and iphone dev teams !".
It is unclear as to what pod2g will concentrate on now, however he did publish this tweet "To clarify: I'm an exploit maker, not a jailbreak tool developper. SHAtter is my 3rd bootrom exploit (24Kpwn was a team effort tho)."
It will be interesting to see exactly what pod2g's future plans are, I am following him on Twitter now so I will do my best to keep you updated.
Will the chronic dev team miss pod2g?

Re-examination of the surplus agricultural labour in China
Purpose – This paper aims to contribute to the pool of studies of rural underemployment in China. It is devoted to the conceptualization and measurement of surplus labour. Design/methodology/approach – The agricultural labour requirement function is estimated by the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) with China's prefecture-level data. Surplus labour or inefficient labour is obtained by subtracting the required labour from the actual labour participated in agriculture. Findings – The authors' analysis indicates that the existing size of agricultural surplus labour in rural China is still significantly large with the continued practice of the household registration system and China's WTO membership. However, the size has been decreasing over the last decade. Research limitations/implications – Quality of data might affect the authors' estimates. Practical implications – The phenomenon of the coexistence of surplus agricultural labour and shortage of workers in non-agricultural production in urban China was discussed in line with the authors' research findings, as this has important impacts on the policies of rural industrialization in China. Social implications – This paper further argues that China is probably experiencing the second stage of the Lewis-Fei-Ranis dualistic economic framework. Originality/value – The authors' paper is probably the first to use prefecture data and SFA for panel data study of surplus agricultural labour in China. The analysis is essential to the understanding of the rural labour market during its rapid transition.Download Info

text: WEST LAFAYETTE, Indiana (Ticker) -- Stacey Dales hit three free throws in the final 41 seconds as No. 5 Oklahoma rallied to upset fourth-seeded and defending national champion Purdue, 76-74, in a second-round East Region contest. Oklahoma (25-7) trailed by as many as 17 points and 14 in the second half but came back to clinch its first "Sweet 16" berth. The Sooners will face top seed Connecticut in the regional semifinals on Saturday in Richmond, Virginia. Camille Cooper drilled two straight jumpers as the Boilermakers (23-8) led 72-67 with 2:28 left, but Oklahoma scored the next nine points to open a four-point lead. LaNeishea Caufield and Jadrea Seeley each made baskets and Caufield added two free throws with 66 seconds left to put Oklahoma ahead, 73-72. Dales added two free throws with 41 seconds to play for a three-point lead. Purdue's Katie Douglas missed a 3-pointer and Cooper grabbed an offensive rebound, but stepped on the baseline. Dales nailed one free throw with 21 seconds left as the Sooners improved to 4-2 all-time in the NCAA Tournament. They shot 59 percent (16-of-27) in the second half and outscored Purdue, 44-30. The Boilermakers had their seven-game home winning streak in the NCAA Tournament snapped and failed to reach their third-straight "Sweet 16" for the first time since 1990-92. It is the quickest NCAA Tournament exit for a defending champion. Old Dominion won the 1985 championship but did not qualify the following year. Purdue topped Duke last season to win its first national title but lost coach Carolyn Peck as well as stars Stephanie McCarty and Ukari Figgs to the WNBA. Caufield scored 23 points, Dales poured in 16 and Phylesha Whaley and Caton Hill added 11 apiece for Oklahoma. Caufield shot 9-of-13 from the floor to help the Sooners shoot 47 percent (28-of-60). Cooper scored 34 points on 13-of-18 shooting and Shinika Parks added 22 for the Boilermakers, who had their six-game winning streak snapped. Cooper netted eight points during a 16-7 run as Purdue opened a 42-25 lead with 3:48 remaining in the first half.
