With his mom always close by, the latest Health Plus/NY1 Scholar Athlete is impressing everyone at his school with his motivation and drive. NY1's Jon Weinstein filed the following report.
Going to the guidance office at Bayside High School is a little different for Constantine Pougiouklidis, because sitting right there is his mom, a secretary at the school.
"It's definitely different, but it's always nice, I come to school with her, I go home with her," says Constantine.
"He's blossomed into the young man I always dreamed he'd become," says Constantine's mom, Georgia Pougliouklidis.
But of course it's not just his mom who is impressed with his accomplishments. Constantine's "A" average is almost secondary to what his teachers say is his amazing ability to connect with his fellow students. For example, he's a "Big Brother" who mentors younger students to help them acclimate to high school.
"He's an exemplary role model for young adults and he displays characteristics of someone who is motivated and dedicated," says English teacher Celeste Stabile.
"As a senior he still comes back to my class, he helps my current freshman and they all look up to him he's a great role model," says social studies teacher Melissa Haroutunian.
The senior's role as a leader is also clear on the soccer field, where he's an All-City goalkeeper. On one of the best teams in the city, he's always cool under pressure including during the playoffs when the season is on the line.
"The two teams that we played and the shots that he saved to win it for us was incredible," says soccer coach Joseph Corrado.
Now Constantine is turning his attention to the future to focus on a career as a civil engineer, designing buildings and other structures.
"You see skyscrapers that are just going straight up. I want to make it different, like make it like an oval building that takes up a whole block with a hole in the middle, just like thinking different things. Bridges too. Buildings, bridges that nobody's seen," says Constantine.
In fact, if you ask Constantine's mom his love for designing buildings and civil engineering came from a very young age.
"When he was 5 years old, he said to me, 'Tell daddy to go buy us land.' And I said, 'Why Constantine?' He said, 'Because I want to build three houses,'" recalls Georgia.
"I want us to buy big land in the Hamptons or upstate where there's just all land and just make it into a fun park, you know like have all of us living together," says Constantine.
So, for making everyone from family to his friends proud, Constantine Pougiouklidis is the latest Health Plus/NY1 Scholar Athlete of the Week.
The NY1 Scholar Athlete program celebrates student athletes who successfully combine academics with athletics, and also find time for community service. The program, operated in conjunction with the New York City Department of Education, is open to any senior attending a New York City public high school.
Each week of the school year, a selected student is profiled on NY1 and receives a $2,000 scholarship to the school they choose to attend in the fall.
To apply, download and print out the official Scholar Athlete application, then mail it to the address on the form.

Very nice! That just goes to show great timing is still more important than spray and pray (even though it was the camera buffer that was doing the timing in this case) Great shot, the others you have from the air show are fantastic as well.
That is very cool, they are very lucky to have you shooting for them.Originally Posted by Michael Zampelli
For me it seems to be pretty nimble, and one thing I really like is when in the sideshow-ish mode, it preloads the next images, so it is REALLY fast flipping between them. I like it, very slick and navigates well.
I need to get off my ass and rewrite my gallery.
I'm going to be putting up a gallery of some kind at MichaelZampelli.com as more of a portfolio. I'm looking at some simple flash scripts.
Here's something I threw together. Need to tighten it up a little.
I need somewhere to send publicity people and band contacts where they can see what I do in a direct way without the clutter.
The HDR shot doesn't quite work for me, I think it would benefit from being a more natural looking shot. That looks overprocessed which works for some shots, but I don't think works for that one. Oh, and one more thing - I'd crop it a little differently, leaving a little more space on the left for the jets to fly into.
Congratulations on the Hornet shot, that's an amazing one.

Our promenade room had a double bed made up. (I was shareing with a female friend) We asked the room attendant to convert it to 2 singles, which he did while we were at our muster stations. Only problem then was, there was not a lot of room to squeeze round them......although they had rounded corners, I kept banging my shins.......came home covered in bruises !
We were first sitting in Romeo and Juliette and just freshened up (didn't change) as it was a casual night. There were 3 formal nights later on. Most people dressed up. Had loads of photos taken. Our waiters, Rey and Lavi, were very pleasant, attentive and obliging. Towards the end of the cruise they were anxious that we should give them good reviews on the survey..........no problem !
We had prepaid gratuities. Only thing I didn't like was that the vouchers were printed with who they were for, and I would rather have given more to the assistant waiter who worked his socks off (in the Windjammer in the day), rather than the top waiter who we hardly saw. I did make sure he knew I thought Lavi had potential and should be promoted !! Also it was Lavis 24th birthday the same day as my friends ** (Sunday) They presented her with a slice of cake with a candle and sang Happy Birthday. I had requested a mention on the Late Night Early Morning show on tv, but we must have missed it...........I'm sure they read out all requests !
My friend hadn't been to the Canaries before but we didn't go ashore in Tenerife. hadn't had much sleep for 4 nights. Something tapped all night long. I thought it was something hitting the window, or may have been in the Services next door.We had been informed our window was to be replaced (as were others on out deck) We arranged for it to be done while we were ashore in Gran Canaria. I watched all the Prom Parades through the window, so it was nice to have a clean one.
As mentioned by others, the ship was constantly being cleaned. We only had breakfast and lunch in the main dining room on the first sea day. We ate in Windjammer or Sorrentos the rest of the time (apart from evening meals) We ate one night in Windjammer when my friend was late back off the Madiera excursion. Excursions were rushed, and we heard 4 people had been left behind.We had booked the Murder Mystery for that night, but changed it, then Portofinos changed it again. We were late docking in Madiera. We had been going slow because of fog for 2 days. At least we were able to dock, not like the previous cruise.
I had been before...........got the photo of the toboggan run ! so stayed aboard. It was like the Mari Celeste. I did seminars or art/craft classes every day. Spent far too much on products and services, and couldn't resist the promenade shops, but missed the $10 sale !!! People complaining shops were shut in Tenerife (Sunday) and Vigo (National holiday)
No chance of getting a sun lounger by the pool. RCI need to address the problem of selfish people leaving towels on unattended loungers for long periods. Maybe confiscate their towels after so long, and make them pay ! Pool police needed, like the hand gel police.
Handwipes thrust at you for 3 days........hand gel proffered for another 3 or 4, then they appeared to assume you'd got the massage and it was self service hand gel dispensers. I mentioned to a man that children weren't using the gel, and he said boys were leaving the gents toilets without washing their hands in spite of Polly (parrot) constantly reminding us.
I ate at Jade usually for lunch.......................more adult exotic food I thought, so unlikely to be touched by children. I didn't see any sushi though ! I took sachets of Nescafe, as there was none provided in the stateroom, only tea. Also only full fat milk tubs. We asked attendant for more milk and he ordered it through room service, and we tipped so ended up paying for the milk it seemed. I thought the filter coffee was foul. Only had one decent cup all cruise........in Portofinos at the Murder Mystery.
Excellent food that night but limited menu. Champagne and wine served, and good fun. Dissapointed no photos were taken though. We got to see the entertainment team up close. Tallented bunch. We missed the Magician by going to that, but couldn't do everything. I attended the Meet and Mingle the first morning and got a useful free gift and raffle prize. My most momentous memory onboard was sitting in the hot tub one morning, watching the sun rise........bliss.
The ice show was brilliant. The female violinist accompanying the skaters appeared in one of the evening theatre shows too. I guess there are different acts on different sailings. Kes ? the commedian was hilarious. Some of our group went to both of his performances. You need to get to the theatre and cinema early to get a seat.
Hope some of this info is of use to someone. I won't be sailing from Southampton again, but may try another smaller RCI ship to a different destination.

We took the opportunity of the Ottawa Comicon to introduce one of our new villains of Season 2, the deadly Mantis, played by the lovely Marie Ty. Mantis is a Medusa agent that works closely with Hornet. She has ties to the Heroes of the North vigilante known as 8 Ball. In fact, the most astute of the Hotnorthians will have noticed that Marie Ty makes a brief appearance in Episode 3: 8 Ball Origins as Tony Falcon's wife, Brownwyn, where she meets a gruesome fate at the hands of some random thugs, triggering the events that will lead Tony Falcon to become 8 Ball. You will have to watch closely Season 2 to find out the sinister secret behind it all. On a side note, Mantis stylish costume was designed by Andy Bradshaw and created by Marie-Claude Bourbonnais (Hornet herself!).
The Nathan Fillion Adventure
14/05/13 07:22 Filed in: Conventions
For Halloween 2012, Canadian actor Nathan Fillion disguised himself as his own version of a World War II Canadian superhero and tweeted several pictures in said costume. A fun yet innocuous gesture that resulted in us getting thousands of emails, tweets, DM and FB messages and comments as a lot of people thought he was doing his version of our Canadian Shield character. We even ended up doing a blog post about it. We seriously doubted he was aware of the show and we were convinced it was totally related but it was fun.
Flash Forward to May 2013 and Heroes of the North is headed to the second Edition of the Ottawa Comicon. And surprise, Nathan Fillion is the guest of honour this year. So we decided to go try to talk to Mr. Fillion and tell him the Halloween anecdote and how it affected us and our site traffic positively and we wante to give him a Canadian Shield comic book at the same time and tell him a little about the show.
When we got to him, at the signing booth, his first reaction was to react at the 8 Ball costume, ask Anderson Bradshaw to step back and using his phone, he flashed a picture or two. We got to tell him the anecdote and a little about the show and gave him a bunch of our comics. He was very enthusiastic and appeared delighted. "I did not know about this!", he said.
We went back to our booth and the day proceeded briskly. Around 12:30, during lunch hour, as things quieted down, Anderson and Marie Ty decided to do what we call a flyer run: going to different booth and into the crowds, taking pictures and chatting with people and distributing the show's flyer.
Cliff, one of the organizer of the Comicon, came by and said: "You will never guess who specifically requested to come by your booth!". We had no idea. He said: "Our guest of honour, Nathan Fillion, asked to come visit you guys. He will be here between 12:40 and 1:15. Don't tell anybody because we don't want to create a commotion."
We of course agreed. And started to run around and chase our missing flock. There was so much people, we did not manage to find them on time. Mr. Fillion arrived with his entourage, but we did not have the actors with us.
"Where is everybody?", asked Mr. Fillion as he approached. "We are looking for them! We got warned of your visit after they had just left!". He looked disappointed. "I will try to pass by again later!", he said before being hustled away. As he disappeared around the corner, 8 Ball and Mantis arrived…
8 Ball and our producer ran in the direction they had disappeared but they lost them in the crowd. And we thought we had missed a great opportunity. But 8 Ball went to the signing area and managed to speak to the management. He came back with the following news: Mr. Fillion would meet us at 3 PM in the VIP area, backstage for a few minutes before his next appearance. Class act!
So about an half hour before three, we braved the crowd and headed down to the other end of the convention centre with everyone in tow, leaving only one man at the booth.
We got there a little faster than we thought, waited a little and then Mr. Fillion walked in, camera in hand, clicking away: "Look at you guys!" He took several pictures with our Heroes, Hornet, 8 Ball and Mantis, both with him and individually and then we took a couple of pictures as a group with him holding the Shield, which had started this whole thing in the first place.
So now the story is wrapped with a neat little bow. We wish to warmly thank Mr. Fillion for his time and generosity as well as everyone that made the encounter possible!
And that concludes our Nathan Fillion adventure!

In Vietnamese village, tech rewires old traditions
HANAM, Vietnam--Once you've been gone for so long, the place you come from no longer exists.
The place in question is my birthplace of Nhan Dao, a small village of about 4,700 residents in Hanam province, some 60 miles south of Hanoi. To put things in perspective, when I was growing up here in the '80s and early '90s, a trip to the capital of Hanoi would take eight hours one way. There was no paved road, no electricity, and no running water. For those reasons, until about 10 or 15 years ago, most people in Nhan Dao spent their whole lives within about a 20-mile radius of the village.
During that time, the only piece of modern technology I knew of was the lone loudspeaker, positioned in the middle of the village, which broadcast Radio the Voice of Vietnam from 5 in the morning to 10 at night. For years, it was what I woke up to and went to bed with, and it was the voice of one of the VoV newscasters that inspired me to become a journalist.
Life in the village was calm and simple then, and, for the most part, happy, despite the lack of wealth or connections to the outside world. Everybody, apart from working hard day in and day out in the rice fields, always looked forward to holidays, especially Tet, the traditional Vietnamese new year, when relatives and friends visit, children get lucky money, and celebrants feast on dishes including steamed square cakes made of sticky rice, pork, and green beans and wrapped in leaves. In the simplest terms, Tet in Vietnam is like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's all rolled into one.
After being in the States for so long and especially after several long days immersed in gadgets at CES 2011, I wanted to go back and experience Tet again for the first time in 10 years. I wanted to try to stay away from technology and the Internet for a while and find glimpses of the simple life I had once known.
That was not to be. I discovered that while Tet is still here, most of the simple life I remember has gone for good.… Read more

4-pitcher combined no-hitter. woo spring.
MIA has a combined no-hitter vs NYY through 7, fwiw.
Just the idea that you trade a guy you don't like, or who had a bad year, is punitive. Is that what the Cubs have been doing? They release guys they don't like. If someone has trade value, they build him up, build him up, and trade him in July.
s.drew's weekend just got a little more bright and hopeful...
"Jerry Crasnick of ESPN reports that Jose Iglesias (shins) will miss at least four months, and perhaps the entirety of the 2014 season."
that's one hell of a shin(s) injury.
b.jackson finally hit a homer (vs KC). rizzo hits 2 HR off b.colon (vs NYM), his first of the spring.
m.olt goes 0-4...including a 12 pitch AB vs t.collins (KC) which he K'd on a 3-2 count.
ninja didn't have a good day 3.2ip 7h 3bb 1k 4r/er
rosscup has all but stamped his ticket back to AAA with another 'meh' outing giving up 3 runs. given that this is only his 3rd appearance of the spring, it seems like he was destined to be back in AAA anyway.
Awesome. Didn't look too great today.
CUBSTER: Kyle Hendricks is Rule 5 Draft eligible post-2014, so the Cubs won't hold back adding him to the 40 during the season if he's the guy they deem most-ready for an in-season call-up. Same goes for C. J. Edwards and Eric Jokisch.
Other than the three pitchers (Hendricks, Edwards, and probably Jokisch), there are no Cubs minor league position players eligible for selection in the December 2014 Rule 5 Draft who would appear (at this time) to be likely candidates to get added to the 40-man roster in 2014.
Not already being on the 40-man roster probably delays him.
"Javier Baez will get a start at second base on Monday or Tuesday.
It will be the first start for Baez at second base since his high school days."
Kyle Hendricks to minor league camp. Roto says he needs more seasoning.
Nice outing yesterday though. See him as the first call up for a starter injury?
Or, Chicago, where Packers and Lions go to up their salary. Peppers will be missed more than most think. Even when he wasn't getting sacks the last couple years, he was a big problem for defenses and he often compensated for defensive tackles who weren't as good at their position as he was at his. I think they had to let him move - just way too much money for the return. It was odd, too, how consistently his opponents were able to commit pretty flagrant holding penalties and get away with it - easy enough that I could see it on TV during routine plays.
That shouldn't be much of a consideration in this day of locking up young players as early as possible. Hell, I'm surprised Theo hasn't locked him up already to a 12 year contract.
Green Bay, where old Bears go to retire
When can the Cubs call up Baez without accelerating his clock?
I hope he's got one more year in him. Melton is trying to get out from under the consequences of hanging out at the bars at 1am in redneck country, so he may still be available, but cap space is a problem. I don't think he's hit his ceiling, though, so I wouldn't mind it if he came back. Bears are making some progress on the defensive front. Last year, any team with the ball marched up and down the field. Kinda took the fun out of watching the offense.
They signed Santana

A non-profit association specializing in
research and education in solar astronomy
Helio Research engages in the pure science of solar research, seeking to answer questions about the basic physical nature of solar prominences and filaments, how they exist, how they relate to other features on the Sun, why they participate in large-scale eruptions of mass from the solar surface into interplanetary space. Our specialty is research on the dynamics of solar prominences and filaments. These mysterious structures are always changing slowly and display intervals of activations when they change more dramatically. Eventually, most prominences and filaments evolve toward eruption.
The first stage of our research is observing mainly prominences and filaments with our solar telescope. We take a series images, typically 1 every 5 to 10 seconds, through a narrow band filter, allowing only light from hydrogen to pass through. The filter can also be set to a particular wavelength of light, thus showing Doppler-shifting. Changing the wavelength of the filter therefore allows us to observe the filament and prominence motions in relation to our line of sight. For example, in the colorized image on the left, blue indicates the portion of the prominence mass moving toward the observer, red indicates mass moving away from the observer.
The objective of recording all of these images is to analyze the complete three-dimensional structure of filaments and prominences. When they become activated or erupt, our goal is to understand how they change in three dimensions.
We owe our human existence to the Sun, our nearest star, as the source of life-giving energy.
Gaining an understanding of at least a part of the evolution of that energy is our goal at Helio Research.
Solar ejections affect spaceship Earth and the satellites that humans have launched from her surface.
This site offers small glimpses into the field of basic research about the sun.
Here we show you the Sun and how we observe it as an astronomical body.
We can show you sunspots, prominences, solar flares,
and other fascinating features
that continuously appear and disappear from the solar surface.

Lockheed JetStar
JetStar | |
An IRIAF JetStar in service with Government of Iran | |
Role | Transport |
National origin | United States |
Manufacturer | Lockheed Corporation |
First flight | 4 September 1957 |
Retired | United States Air Force 1990s |
Status | Active |
Primary users | Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force Mexican Air Force |
Produced | 1957-1978 |
Number built | 204 |
The Lockheed JetStar (company designations L-329 and L-1329; designated C-140 in USAF service) is a business jet produced from the early 1960s to the 1970s. The JetStar was the first dedicated business jet to enter service. It was also one of the largest aircraft in the class for many years, seating ten plus two crew. It is distinguishable from other small jets by its four engines, mounted on the rear of the fuselage in a similar layout to the larger Vickers VC10 airliner that first flew several years later, and the "slipper"-style fuel tanks fixed to the wings.
The JetStar originated as a private project within Lockheed, with an eye to winning a USAF requirement that was later dropped due to budget cuts. Lockheed decided to continue the project on their own for the business market.1
The first two prototypes were equipped with two Bristol Siddeley Orpheus engines, the first of these flying on 4 September 1957. The second of these was also equipped with the wing-mounted "slipper tanks", which was originally to be an option. Lockheed attempted to arrange a contract to produce the Orpheus in the US, but when these negotiations failed they re-engined the second prototype, N329K, with four Pratt & Whitney JT12 in 1959. The slipper tanks were removed and placed on the first prototype, N329J. N329J served as Clarence Johnson's personal transport for some time. The JT12 fit proved successful and was selected for the production versions, the first of which flew in mid 1960.2 These versions entered commercial service in 1961.
Sixteen JetStars were produced for the United States Air Force. Five C-140A Flight Inspection aircraft to perform airborne testing of airport navigational aids in 1962. They began service during the Vietnam War and remained in service until the early 1990s. The "Flight Check" C-140A were a combat-coded aircraft that could be distinguished from the VIP transport version by their distinctive camouflage paint scheme. The last C-140A to be retired was placed on static display at Scott AFB, Illinois.
An additional 11 airframes were designated C-140B, although the first of these predated the C-140As when it was delivered in 1961. The C-140Bs were used to transport personnel by the Military Airlift Command. Six of the aircraft were operated as VIP transports by the 89th Military Airlift Wing at Andrews Air Force Base. These VIP aircraft were designated as VC-140Bs. The VIP transport fleet occasionally served as Air Force One during the 1970s and 1980s. Several other countries, such as Germany and Canada, have used military JetStars as transports for their heads of state, heads of government, and other VIPs.
Noise regulations in the United States and high fuel consumption led to the development of the 731 JetStar, a modification program which added new Garrett AiResearch TFE731 turbofan engines and redesigned external fuel tanks to original JetStars. The 731 JetStar modification program was so successful that Lockheed produced 40 new JetStars, designated the JetStar II, from 1976 through 1979. The JetStar IIs were factory-new aircraft with the turbofan engines and revised external fuel tanks. Both 731 JetStars and JetStar IIs have greatly increased range, reduced noise, and better runway performance compared to the original JetStars.
JetStar production totaled 204 aircraft by final delivery in 1978.3 Most original JetStars have been retired, but many 731 JetStars and JetStar IIs are still flying in various roles, mainly as corporate and private jets.
The JetStar has a fairly typical business jet design layout, with a swept wing and a cruciform tail. The wing has a 30° sweepback and features large fuel tanks at about half-span, extending some distance in front and behind the wing. The wings hold 10,000 pounds of fuel, and each slipper tank holds 4,000 pounds of fuel for a total fuel load of 18,000 pounds. The wing also includes slats along the front of the wing outboard of the tanks (these leading edge slats reduce the stalling speed by an additional three knots), while double-slotted trailing edge flaps span the entire rear surface inboard of the ailerons. The wing incorporates inflatable rubber deicing boots for the removal of accumulated inflight ice. The horizontal stabilizers are mounted nearly halfway up the tail fin to keep it clear of the jetwash. One feature is that trim is provided by pivoting the entire tail fin, which has a distinctive unpainted area at the base of the fin that is noticeable in most pictures. The Jetstar does not have any tail deicing capability, nor was it required for certification. A speed brake is located on the underside of the fuselage to aid deceleration for landing. The original prototypes used a tricycle landing gear with one wheel per leg, but after an accident in 1962 the nose gear was modified with two tires.3
The JetStar is a relatively heavy aircraft for its class, at 42,500 lb (19,278 kg). Maximum cruising speed is Mach 0.8, or 567 mph (912 km/h) at 21,000 ft (6,401 m). Range is typically quoted as 2,500 mi (4,023 km) with a 3,500 lb (1,588 kg) payload. Typically, interiors feature seating for eight with a full-sized lavatory, or a slightly denser arrangement for ten. The JetStar is one of the few aircraft of its class which allow a person to walk upright in the cabin, although to do this the aisle is sunk slightly so that the seats are raised on either side.4 The windows are relatively large.
The JetStar II is generally similar, with a number of detail changes. The cockpit area has a somewhat more "modern" looking nose and window arrangement, larger engines, and most notably, the fuel tanks are larger and sit with their upper surfaces flush with the wing, rather than being centered on it.

Maybe if we lose enough Kirk Bohls might resign..................
When our team loses, there's heartbreak. Frustration. Agony. But we almost always come back, again and again, season after season.
But sometimes the pain is just too much. Sometimes, we just can't take any more. Such is the case for Dennis Latta, freelance writer for Rivals.com's Loboland and a 33-year veteran of the New Mexico beat. After Thursday night's stunning and, yes, humiliating loss to Harvard, Latta had had enough.
In his farewell column, Latta fires a shot across the bow — or, really, through the hull — of the New Mexico program: "I really thought that the University of New Mexico finally had a men's basketball team that earned the loyalty of their fans." He lists all the virtues of this year's New Mexico team — "real potential," accomplishments in both the regular season and the Mountain West Conference, strong players across the board — but then he undercuts each one of those plaudits with "I was wrong."
[Photo gallery: Best photos of the NCAA tournament]
And then he drops the hammer:
But I won't be wrong again. It was a lot easier to take when expectations were lower. Losing was acceptable because UNM had almost always lost when it really counted. You didn't have visions of greatness, only to have them dashed. After the pitiful performance UNM put up against a team that doesn't even offer scholarships, I've given up. Having all five starters back next season means nothing on a team that can just disappear like that. I'd be back to wondering when it would collapse, have a terrible game and lose to an inferior team again.
No, I've had it. I've been to my last Lobo basketball game after covering the team for much of the last 33 years.
Good-bye Lobo basketball.
You can see Latta's frustrations. You put in over three decades with a team, you expect some kind of payoff somewhere down the line, right? And hey, perhaps Harvard could use someone to cover their next games. (Sorry, Dennis.)

Yes, making teams beat their competition and advance to the finals of a tournament is certainly a stupid way to let teams that don't play each other or don't play similar schedules in the regular season decide a champion.
Why can't you realize the point of a championship tournament isn't necessarily to anoint the 'best team?" It is to honor the team that succeeds in the tournament. Then your spoutings about the tournament not being fair will be revealed to be the utter nonsense that they are.

I enjoy your posts for the most part, but your "everyone who disagrees with me is an idiot" shtick is getting old.
For the record, my opinion is that you could have a smaller, multi-conference double elimination tourney that would be less entertaining and more fair. All major and mid-major champions would get a bid.
There's no reason you need 72 teams. I'd set a limit of no more than 3 teams per conference -- why should a 4th place team, much less a 9th place team, play for a national championship!
I haven't really scoped it out fully, but to keep the size reasonable (16 to 32 teams?) I'd have the really minor leagues have a play in tourney for one or two slots.

On further reflection I'd do the basketball post-season similar to baseball but with 32 teams and without super regionals.
Eight four-team brackets, double elimination.
Then an eight team double elimination tournament.
Major and mid-major champions would be invited and at large teams would be limited to an additional two per conference.
A handful of slots would be held for minor conferences, perhaps filled with a series of play-in games.
It would still be broadly representative and decide the champion on the court, but allow great teams a little more margin for error.
Utter nonsense?

I forgot to rate it so it's posted twice...sorry. Very good recipe! I used lt (35 cal) wheat bread and added 1/2 cup raisins. My husband said it tastes like pumpkin pie. I will definitely be making it again. Thanks for the recipe! :o) - 10/11/11
Reply from MAGNOLIAHONEY (10/12/11)
wow the raisins sound like a awesome addition. Thanks for the tip!
Want to try it for our Christmas!!! - 12/23/09
Reply from MAGNOLIAHONEY (12/23/09)
Please note, I need to revise this recipe, I meant 12 slices of bread not 6. So sorry!
Very good! I followed the recipe exactly, and definitely used the right pudding, but it was still a bit runny. Placing it in the fridge for 15 more minutes after it cooled helped a lot. The nutritional info is off (80 calories from bread per slice is wrong, unless you use 80 cal per slice bread). - 10/31/09
Reply from MAGNOLIAHONEY (10/31/09)
Each serving would have 80 calories from the bread, if you use the 40 calorie or less per a slice bread. As you get two 40 calorie or less slices per a serving. 40+40=80 or 40x2=80.
BTW, sorry I just figured out the problem! So sorry! It's 12 slices of bread, NOT 6!
I will make this again and the only change I may make is to use a little less milk." />

Cat Grant
Lois Lane
Jonathan Carroll
Dr. Veritas
Wonder Woman
it would interesting if was Kara or Kon was hes roommates if I was to guess who it was I say its Cat she did lose her job in last Superman issue.
I am saying exactly what I've been saying for the past few weeks and the past year. I am a Lois fan, but being a Lois fan has not made me despise Cat, Dr. Veritas, Lana, Diana, or any other woman in Clark Kent's life. Can you point to any posts I have made that have attacked these female characters unfairly? You talk about me raging, which I have not done, but what about you? What does it say about you that your knee-jerk response to any discussion is to bring up the specter of stereotypical Lois fans that bears very little resemblance to the real thing. Is it easier to debate a straw man than to deal with reality? Being pro-Lois does not make me any more biased than someone who is anti-Lois. Do you, for example, care about Lois Lane?
Lois and Jonathan as options were humorous additions more than anything else. Like they move in together then holy crap their apartment catches fire or something.
... The Master Of Puppets has spoken.
Goodbye León (november 16th, 1993 - june 12th, 2009). You were, are and always will be the best friend I ever had. I will always love you and never forget you. And please, please forgive me.
Thank you for teaching me about love, patience and caring. Rest in Peace, my friend. I hope that wherever it is you are now, you can run and play as much as you want.
Yeah, for some reason I think it'll be Cat. Maybe it's got something to do with the moment they shared in #13 when Clark quit The Daily Planet.
Then again, it might be Dr Veritas -- I keep thinking about the sweat sample she took from Superman ... maybe she's trying to get a bunch of genetic samples from him because she's secretly conducting some strange experiment ... (just a thought) ...
I'm hoping for Bizarro

Australian Weight Loss Diet Supplement
you to lose stubborn kilos and centimetres and achieve the
body image you've always desired."
Thomas Martin
Hi, my name is Jeffrey Wilson, chief medical advisor of JW Labs. I have a question for you. Would you be interested in a weight loss supplement that could provide you with similar, or possibly more fat loss than prescription medications, but without the dangerous side effects of prescriptions?
If you said YES, I have great news for you. We have developed a weight loss supplement that contains ingredients proven in clinical trials to aid in weight loss.1,5,6,7 It's all-natural and contains no prescription drugs whatsoever. This product is now available to the general public. Plus it will help with fast weight loss or you get your money back!9
You may be able to tell that I am excited about our new product. The reason I am excited is that Liproxenol ingredients can work extremely well at fighting fat.9
Weight Loss Diet Pills
News is spreading fast (see our forum for more info) from our satisfied customers who have discovered that Liproxenol™ weight loss diet pills work remarkably well at firing up their metabolisms and burning off their unwanted fat.*
In fact, news spread so quickly that we sold out of our initial 1500 bottles the first week people were able to order Liproxenol™ weight loss diet pills. It was extremely popular in its first week, and it continues to be so now. Check out our forum to see what past and current customers have been saying, and why Liproxenol™ continues to be such a popular weight loss diet pill.
It doesn't matter what your body type is, how overweight you might be, or what pills you've tried in the past. We are so confident you will have better results with Liproxenol, that we even offer a money back guarantee if you don't lose weight in 90 days.9
Check out what Janine Myers had to say about her experience using Liproxenol, it's the best she's looked since high school...
Ingredients in Liproxenol™ are considered fat fighting ingredients which aid in the battle against fat. These ingredients have been tested over and over to show that they help in fat loss1,4,6. Liproxenol ingredients are also designed to boost your metabolism and suppress your appetite.1,4,5,6,7
We have included a picture of the label alongside so you can see exactly what is inside this product that makes it so powerful. Below the label you will see a short description on each ingredient and how it may aid in effective weight loss.
Pyridoxine HCP
Helps to metabolise protein and carbohydrates. Also aids in the conversion of glycogen to glucose for energy in muscle.
Ascorbic Acid
Increases absorption of other ingredients to accelerate weight loss. Removes toxic compounds that are released when fat is metabolised.
Converts carbohydrates, protein and fat into energy. Also helps to increase energy levels.
Green Tea
Speeds up metabolism and promotes thermogenesis. Also increases energy levels and promotes fat oxidation.
Advantra Z
(Citrus Aurantium/ Synephrine)
Stimulates Beta 3 receptors, which breaks down fat, increases energy and metabolic rate, and creates thermogenesis. Also suppresses appetite.
Ginger Root
Decreases appetite and increases number of kilojoules burned. Also aids in the digestive process.
Helps kick start a sluggish thyroid.

Powerful antioxidant that helps to elevate mood and increase physical energy.

Yerba Mate

Pantothenic Acid

Grape Seed Extract
Delays absorption of food, making it an effective appetite suppressant. Also stimulates the breakdown of fat for energy.
Liproxenol ingredients are safe and have no reported side effects like you might find with prescription drugs; however:
- You should only take Liproxenol as directed. Do not take more than the recommended dosage.
- As with any consumable product, allergic reactions can occur in varying ways to different people. We've not had any claims of allergic reactions, but if you tend to be allergic to herbs or any of the ingredients listed above, you should consult your physician before taking Liproxenol.
- In most cases, you should be able to take Liproxenol while also on medication; however, its advised that you speak to a physician before mixing any medicines or supplements, especially if you are known to have sensitivity to the ingredients in Liproxenol.
- We do not recommend taking Liproxenol if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Liproxenol has changed the lives of people all over the world! Will you be next?
*Results May Not be Typical
New Mum Sheds Over 5 Kilograms!!
"Keeping up with my girlfriends has been tough since I became a new mum. Lately whenever we spend time together, I feel like I'm the fat girl holding the rest of the group back... talk about depressing. A co-worker noticed I was struggling losing my baby weight and she recommended Liproxenol™. I had never tried a weight loss supplement before so I didn't know what to expect. Right away, I noticed that I was eating less. After a very short time, I had lost 5 kilograms! I kept on going, and in just weeks, all the baby weight was gone and I was putting a dent in the extra kilos I had been carrying around for a few years. Now when we go out, no one knows that I'm the one in the group with a husband and an infant at home."
Betty M.
*Results May Not be Typical
Alicia Lost 25kg
"I'll keep it quick and focus on the results. I dropped 25 kg... I dropped over half a dozen sizes (shopping for a new wardrobe has never felt so fulfilling) and transformed myself from a chubby mess to a slinky siren. What a complete life-changer Liproxenol™ has been, I cannot recommend this product highly enough."
Watch and see what real people are saying about Liproxenol!
*Results May Not be Typical
42 Year Old Mother of 3 Loses 15kg
"My story is probably the same as a lot of women - after three kids, I had pretty much given up any hope of my body being found attractive by anyone. I found Liproxenol™ on the Internet and figured, 'What do I have to lose?' I lost a lot of weight (over 15 kg in a short time), but that wasn't even the most important part. The energy Liproxenol™ gave me made me feel young and sexy, and it really helped me change around my whole attitude. Why can't I be sexy and desirable at 42 years old? The answer is, I can... just ask my husband!"
Mary P

35kg's Gone. Bring Out The Bikini!
"I had already been gaining weight over the years, then I hurt my back and had to have surgery. Once I was feeling better and up & around, I decided I couldn't take it anymore. My doctor advised against any strenuous exercise to start with, but I needed a jump start - and thats when I found Liproxenol™! Once I had my appetite under control the weight started falling off. then, with the help of diet and Liproxenol, I was finally able to start exercising again. With the triple threat (diet, exercise, and Liproxenol) I lost about 35 kilos, and not a moment too soon. By the time summer rolled around, I was able to fit into my bikinis and get out there and strut my stuff. Outstanding results, I love Liproxenol™!"
Losing weight effectively requires a reduction in kilojoule intake and increased physical activity to boost the metabolism, which is an enzyme-mediated endocrine event. You simply cannot lose weight and keep it off without a healthy metabolism. Formulas that promise you will lose weight while you sleep, or flush fat out of your system with shellfish fibre not only sound too good to be true, they are.
If weight management is a problem frustrating you, there are proven results available to you with Liproxenol™. While many bogus diet products make outrageous claims, the ingredients in Liproxenol™ are supported by clinical trials1,5,6,7.
Proven in clinical studies1,5,6,7, the highly effective fat loss ingredients in Liproxenol™ provide a powerful metabolic increase that can literally turn back the clock to youthful levels of weight control. It's effect is to stimulate enzymatic action that makes you lose weight faster and more effectively.
Not only can Liproxenol™ increase your metabolism, but it can also stop you from feeling hungry.1,4,5,6,7 Liproxenol's appetite suppressant ingredients can help decrease your hunger - and the fewer kilojoules we eat, the better chances we have at losing weight.
Simone Tanner, age 32 reports that she gained 10 kilos after she quit smoking. Not only has she lost all the weight she gained, but she has also increased her energy, stating
"It's an absolutely fantastic product. Thank you!"
To ensure that you experience the same incredible benefits as many of our thousands of happy customers, you get an unconditional money back guarantee. Try Liproxenol for a full 90 days risk-free - if you are not happy simply send back for a full refund of the purchase price.
"Being an actress in Hollywood is a tough business. I know I have to look
my best if I want a shot at the role. I always take Liproxenol™ a few weeks
before an audition because I know it will get rid of my excess kilos and
get me in shape just in time"* - Samantha Foster

JH Audio JH13 Pro Custom In-Ear Monitors
" The JH13 Pro was my first purchase of high-end personal audio equipment so it's difficult for me to provide a fair comparison (prior to purchasing them, I was listening to iPhone earbuds), but I can safely say that I couldn't possibly be happier with my purchase.

In addition, a lower price entails a compromise in sound quality..." --grapefruit
YUIN PK3 Earbuds
" The PK3 is a great, warm earbud. It does vocals especially well because it is very mid-focused. It has impressive bass extension, not especially strong impact; the trebles are smooth and may roll off too soon for clarity and detail nuts. But the mids are what the PK3 are all about. " --kmhaynes

In my limited experience and without trying the pk1, I would say these are the finest buds you can buy. With that said, these are not for everyone, this is a niche product within an already niche market. I find driving it with my D12 anaconda makes for a pleasurable sound,..." --Jamesdeandoa

Yuin Pk2 Earphones
PK2 earphones are the low impedance version of PK1. Although not as good as PK1, PK2's sound signature is similar to PK1. You don't have to drive PK2 with an expensive head-amp. If you are looking for something with high performance/price ratio, PK2 might be the best choice.

passing an array as argument
i have a subclass that needs to call the constructor of it's superclass, so I use the "super()" method.
however, the superclass has an array as one of it's parameters. so i first tried this:
Java Code:int[] array = {1,2,3,4}; super(array);
does anyone know how to use an array as argument without initializing it in another line?
Re: passing an array as argument
super(new int[]{1, 2, 3, 4});
