ITASA Story: Sean Kow
by Sean Kow (ITASA Representative Rice University)
I joined ITASA this September after a long time of hearing about the organization, but never knowing what exactly it did. Rice University's Taiwanese Association was invited to join ITASA, and as the vice president of external affairs, I took up the position to be RIce's IR. Being in ITASA for just a short time, I really don't know much about it yet, but helping to plan the UTAustin and Rice Mixer has gotten me very excited about ITASA and all the future events it has to offer.

Misrepresentation as Representation: Accepting and Reproducing Racist Images of Ourselves through Humor
By Cheryl Lee (ITASA Representative University of California, Santa Barbara)
Identity is a form of representation that is cultivated from the individual's space in the extended social hierarchy, yet to pinpoint and establish that exclusive place is impossible. Asian America is male to female, brown to yellow, rich to poor, political, cultural, and queer, and any one spectrum does not encompass the entirety of identity: thus, under any circumstance, an individual is both the oppressed as well as the oppressor. Shared microidentities, that is, the profound intersecting social spaces in which we occupy, are the building blocks of solidarity through coalition. When marginalized groups have internalized and accepted harmful to offensive representations of themselves, progress, in all forms, stagnates and then begins to dismantle.
Confessions of a Taiwanese American from Tennessee
By Alex Chambers (DMV District Governor - DC, Maryland, Virginia)
"Alex Chambers? Oh, you mean that white kid from Tennessee who is actually Taiwanese?"
Indeed, if you have not already met me, this pretty much sums up who I am: a white kid from Tennessee who is actually Taiwanese. Although I am very proud of my roots, I must admit that I was taken off guard the first time I heard someone say this about me. Sure, I had been referred to as "that Taiwanese kid" in Tennessee or as "that American" in Taiwan, but before I came to the East Coast, where being neither Tennessean nor Taiwanese American is the norm, I had never heard someone call me both in the same sentence.
Ice Time! Skating with CTAS
By Emily Kuo (ITASA Conference Liaison Director)
On November 9th, ITASA Tri-State held a mixer with Cornell Taiwanese American Society CTAS) at Lynah Rink for ice skating and hot chocolate. Jerry, our awesome Cornell ITASA Representative, planned and coordinated an awesome event!

FPE Circuit Breaker Replacements: this article gives expert advice about replacing FPE Stab-Lok® circuit breakers - Federal Pacific Electric Stab-Lok® breakers and discusses how to repair FPE StabLok Panels and circuit breakers for actual improvements in electrical safety. Replacement FPE Stab-Lok® circuit breakers are unlikely to reduce the failure risk of this equipment. We recommend that residential FPE Stab-Lok® electrical panels be replaced entirely or the entire panel bus assembly be replaced, regardless of FPE model number or FPE year of manufacture. We do not sell circuit breakers nor any other products. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. What is the Proper Repair for FPE Stab-Lok® Panels and Circuit Breakers?Homeowners and renovators who encounter these panels should replace the entire panel and circuit breaker set with new equipment. Panel replacement, can involve significant expense, typically $800 to $1800 depending on service size and other factors. Do not simply replace individual FPE Stab-Lok® circuit breakers: 1. No Evidence of Improved FPE Stag-Lok Replacement Circuit Breaker PerformanceFirst of all, there is no data suggesting that new stock, replacement FPE breakers, or "new old stock" FPE breakers found in storage somewhere perform any better than the ones already in the FPE Stab-Lok® panel. In fact, limited testing of replacement FPE Stab-Lok® circuit breakers also detected failures to trip in response to overcurrent conditions. In at least some cases, replacement circuit breakers are manufactured in Asia as copies of the original, problematic breaker design, as we discuss at #3 below. 2. Other FPE problems besides circuit breakersFPE Second, there are other functional and safety concerns in the panel besides the breakers themselves. We've seen panel bus damage, panel bus meltdowns, and failure of breakers to remain secured in or onto the connecting bus itself. See REPLACEMENT PANELS for some panel replacement alternatives that might reduce the repair cost. 3. Replacement Federal Pacific Electric FPE Stab-Lok® Circuit BreakersFor several reasons We do not recommend attempting to "repair" an individual failed Stab-Lok® breaker by buying a replacement either from used stock, new stock, or "compatible" stock:
4. A few other warnings about things people try to reduce the hazards of FPE Stab-Lok® Breakers:
In sum, if you could replace all the FPE Stab-Lok® equipment with (somehow magically obtained) all "new" FPE Stab-Lok® equipment (found in a used-or new-old-stock warehouse for example) the risk level for the building would not be sufficiently different from before the replacement and would remain high: there remains a latent risk of fire from failure of these breakers to trip in response to overcurrent. 5. Replacement Federal Pacific Electric FPE Stab-Lok® Panels is RecommendedFor some cost and method alternatives when replacing an Federal Pacific Electric Stab-Lok® Panel or "load center" see REPLACEMENT PANELS which describes conventional Option#1 - "remove and replace" the electrical panel and Option#2 - FPE Load Center Replacement using Cutler Hammer (CH) Adjustable Retrofit Kit Citation of this article by brief quote or links-to this website are invited, provided you credit this source website InspectAPedia.com/fpe/FPEB reakers.htm Please do NOT copy or reproduce our articles without obtain express written permission. ...

LINCOLN — Nebraska is still in a holding pattern over whether to redshirt incoming men's basketball recruit Deverell Biggs.
Coach Tim Miles said Monday he hasn't addressed the topic recently with Biggs. The 6-foot point guard out of Omaha Central was a junior college All-American last season at Seward County (Kan.) Community College.
Biggs can play in NU's Nov. 7 exhibition game against Midland University and still redshirt. The regular season starts with a Nov. 11 home game against Southern University.
On Sunday, Biggs took part when Nebraska scrimmaged at Iowa State. Coaches are forbidden by NCAA rules to comment on such practice games.
Two people with knowledge of the scrimmage said Iowa State, an NCAA tourney team last season, dominated throughout against Nebraska, picked to finish last in the Big Ten.
Miles, who takes over this season for Doc Sadler, said he likes the work his team is putting in to learn new systems. Depth and defensive discipline are concerns.
"And we lack scoring,'' Miles said. "We're not going to be a high-powered team, so we're going to have to figure out how to manufacture some points.''
The Huskers have been mostly healthy through preseason workouts. Freshman wing Shavon Shields (elbow) missed two practices over the weekend, but Miles said he expects a quick return.

As part of the story, the writer went clubbing with the star. And guess who showed up at the club?
Rihanna sent out this shot of her hot GQ cover to Twitter followers, showing off her sexy December issue cover shot.
The star, who is pantless for this photo, goes topless in another shot for the mag spread.
More: Keira Knightley goes topless for 'Allure'
As part of the story, writer Jay Bulger went clubbing with Rihanna, and guess who happened to be at the club? Chris Brown. Here's what happened, according to Bulger:
"Chris Brown brashly stands on top of his bench in the neighboring booth. He and Rihanna start tossing flirtatious glances like kids passing notes in middle-school math class. The smirks and the playfulness continue until they're dancing with each other from afar. Then, out of mock frustration, Brown climbs over the top of the booth. A mischievous tingle of controversy vibrates through the club.
There, in the middle of all the craziness: Rihanna stares straight at me and passes me a spliff. She turns her green-hazel Bambi gaze back to Brown and begins to sway those famous hips from side to side. It's 2 a.m. She looks like she's just getting started."

As Scots Weigh Independence, Church Won't Influence Voting
Jonathan Luxmoore
Catholic News Service
Thursday, April 25, 2013
A teacher and schoolgirl run in front of a sign indicating the date of Scotland's independence referendum in Edinburgh.
GLENELG, Scotland (CNS) — At the center of this isolated seaside community, overlooked by shadowy mountains on the nearby Isle of Skye, local fishing folk tap their feet as traditional music echoes from the village inn.
The BBC broadcasts in Gaelic here, and most youngsters have never been to Edinburgh, the Scottish capital 125 miles southeast, let alone to England.
In the fall of 2014, Glenelg's residents will have a chance to express their identity when Scotland votes in a referendum on independence. If Scots opt for full independence, it will end a union going back four centuries.
"Although the church won't be telling people how to vote, some bishops have indicated unofficially they'd have no problem with independence," Father Scott Deeley, assistant chancellor of the Archdiocese of St. Andrews and Edinburgh, told Catholic News Service.
"Even after the 1707 Act of Union, which united Scotland and England, the Scots kept their own legal system as well as their own separate churches," he said. "So independence wouldn't make much practical difference to the lives of most Catholics."
Since 1999, thanks to the devolution of powers, a national government and parliament have held sway in Edinburgh under a first minister appointed by Queen Elizabeth II.
That arrangement set the stage for the referendum. The Scottish and British governments agreed to the vote in early 2012 despite vigorous opposition to independence from Britain's main Conservative, Labor and Liberal Democrat parties, which have maintained that it will be impossible to decouple societies and economies so closely bound together.
Ian Dunn, deputy editor of the Scottish Catholic Observer in Glasgow, said he thinks church members are too varied in their views for there to be a definitive Catholic vote.
Still, he said, the pro-independence Scottish National Party's pursuit of a divisive liberal agenda, however attractive in the Presbyterian-dominated Lowlands, will cause problems in the more traditionalist Highlands, where Catholicism has its strongest roots.
"Catholics know Scotland, far from being oppressed, has been a willing partner with England for most of its recent history," Dunn told CNS.
"The church's leaders will urge a clear moral focus as a precondition for independence. If Catholics fail to find this in the independence camp, they may well feel safer remaining in Britain with its long traditions of religious tolerance," he said.
Britain's Conservative, Labor and Liberal Democrat parties are relatively weak north of the border, where the Scottish National Party was elected to government in a landslide five years ago under First Minister Alex Salmond.
Catholics, about 16 percent of the population, voted strongly for the party in 2007 and 2011 elections. Since then, church ties with the party have plummeted over its plans to legislate for same-sex marriage.
In September, Archbishop Philip Tartaglia of Glasgow warned Salmond that he risked losing "the confidence of the Catholic community."
"I sense there's a growing apprehension and disappointment at the direction your government is taking," he told Salmond in a letter.
"Like others, I had begun to entertain the hope that yours would be a government of national unity which had the sagacity to move forward toward an independent Scotland by respecting and developing the historic foundational values of faith and reason which have contributed to making Scotland a nation," the letter said.
Even if Scots choose independence, challenging negotiations lie ahead.
Although Scotland will receive income from North Sea oil and gas reserves, it will have to fund a weighty social security budget. While independence might rid Scotland of nuclear weapons, it will have to renegotiate ties with NATO and the European Union.
Faced with such complexities, opinion polls have put support for independence at just a third of Scotland's 5.2 million inhabitants. Instead, many Scots favor the alternative of maximum devolution, or "devo max," which would give Scotland full economic independence from the United Kingdom but keep it as part of the UK and be governed in areas such as foreign policy and defense.
To turn opinion around, the Scottish National Party has sought to rally social and cultural forces including Scotland's churches. That's no easy task.
Religious divisions run deep in Scotland, where the last Catholic-backed rebellion, led by the legendary Charles Edward Stuart, commonly known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, was brutally crushed in 1746 by an army loyal to Britain's Protestant King George II. Stuart's defeat led to the brutal suppression of Scottish language, culture and social structure, dashing final hopes of a Catholic restoration.
Although both supporters and opponents of independence have been careful not to reopen old wounds, church reactions have been mixed.
The predominant Scottish Episcopal Church, to which 42 percent of Scots belong, has broadly come out in favor of independence in order to ensure social justice and integration.
However, the smaller Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland warned in June that separate statehood could spur secularization and endanger historic safeguards for Protestantism.
Salmond and other politicians have pledged to defend Catholic schools and expressed sympathy after the retirement of Cardinal Keith O'Brien, archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh, who stepped down in February amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
With opinions polarized and feelings running high, there'll be much to play for in the referendum campaign.
The vote follows the church-declared Year of Faith, which culminates in June with a national pilgrimage to Iona, the remote western island where the Irish St. Columba brought Christianity to Scotland 1,450 years ago.
"Independence still seems a long shot, but public opinion could swing in behind it quickly once the campaign heats up," said John Deighan, parliamentary officer of the Scottish bishops' conference.
"Although the church won't be taking a position for or against, it'll certainly respect people's democratic wishes and try to ensure they think carefully about the foundational values of our Scottish society and Catholicism's contribution to them," he said.
Back at the fishing community of Glenelg, residents have yet to begin debating independence. Msgr. James McNeil, vicar general of the Argyll and the Isles Diocese, admitted he "hasn't a clue" what the outcome will be.
But few doubt communities like this, with their deep Christian roots, will have an important part to play in deciding Scotland's future.

I've had Droid stuff including a tablet. Do yourself a favor if apps is what you're looking for then go Apple...they simply have more and they work better and support doesn't just get dropped.
iPhone has been my favorite. I can say this after owning three different Android phones.
My Androids would all freeze on me every other day, if not daily. During simple tasks like making phone calls, taking a picture, sending a text. Not that those are important... Once I switched to an iPhone... my life was better. I have had my iPhone 4 for over a year, and it's the first phone I haven't had a desire to get rid of. It never freezes on me, ever. I rarely have to reboot it (android was every few days or more just to keep it working), and the battery life is 10x better. Not that any smart phone has really good battery life, but I couldn't make it to lunchtime without plugging the androids in for a charge, the iPhone gets me till I'm ready to leave work. I never was an apple fan, but plain and simple, it works. I would not advise anything else. Last piece of advice. Do NOT listen to the people in the stores. They will tell you everything great about Android and bash the crap out of the iPhone. This is mostly because they get a larger commission on the iPhone. Good Luck!! |
It depends on the user, Iphone are geared more to every day users and Androids are geared to people who want to customize it and make it how they want. IPhone work because they are simple and easy to operate, excellent for people new to technology. I personally like things to be customizable to and fit my needs, which android does. With Iphone I feel too limited to do only what Apple wants me to do and nothing further. Neither is a bad device, it just depends what kind of user you are.
What seems like a simple answer is really a complex situation. Both platforms are nearly indistinguishable from one another in average, day-to-day use. Sure, there may be some features like Siri or Google's navigation that could sway a user one way or another, but for most users, their actual experience won't differ much. |

Dividend Payouts Are Climbing After Plunging to a Record Low
Hunting for Yield
Hunting for Yield
There are a variety of strategies to play dividends. Wells Fargo analysts note that one way is through the S&P 500 "artistocrats," or dividend payers with long-term track records of increasing payouts. These stocks returned 6.4 percent beyond the index return over the past three years.
Adams said another way is to look at industries that have been slow to declare payouts but may be ready to change. She notes compared to other sectors—technology, health care and consumer discretionary—have been the stingiest when it comes to dividends.
"Technology and health care are paying more on average than they have in the last 10 years," she said. "They are recognizing the trend that they do have too much cash and aren't deploying it."
Standard and Poor's index analyst Howard Silverblatt said that Cisco'sdecision to pay a dividend last year for the first time was a major turn for technology companies. It made for the largest dividend initiation ever, with a $1.5 billion annual payout, which it has since raised. There is now speculation that Applemay share some of its giant cash horde with investors.
"In technology and health care, they are holding a lot of the cash overseas becuse of taxation. There is also a poltical concern to this," Adams said.
Another strategy Adams recommends is to look at the highest yielders in the S&P index. There are 13 companies in the S&P 500 with better yields than the average corporate credit yield of companies with similar ratings. (see list below) There are also 227 companies in the S&P 500 that have a higher yield than the 10-year Treasury.
Some companies also choose to do stock buybacks instead. "It's a very short-term impact. Media comes to mind as an industry that focused on share buybacks rather than dividend payments," she said.
She likened corporate buybacks to 'casual dating,' versus the 'long-term commitment' companies make when they pay their investors quarterly dividends.
Dividend Catch Up
The dividend rate, or the payout rate by S&P 500 companies, hit an all-time high, in terms of cash paid out, in June 2008, but it fell sharply by August 2009 as the recession caused companies to clamp down on capital outlays.
It is now up 31.8 percent since then, but still lags the 2008 level by about 2.5 percent, according to Standard and Poor's data.
For all of last year, S&P 500 companies paid out a total $241 billion, versus the $247.9 billion they gave shareholders in 2008.
Standard and Poor's Silverblatt, senior index analyst for Standard and Poor's indexes, expects the total rate paid out by S&P 500 companies to come in at a record this year. "I'm looking for $263 billion by the time this year is over," he said.
Uncertainty about tax law changes, and the pending expiration of the Bush tax cuts, have probably also impacted corporate decisions on payouts. Adams said if the taxation of dividends is raised above the capital gains tax rate, "the dividend theme could die on the vine."
On Monday, President Obama proposed raising the tax on dividends for households making more than $250,000 to a maximum of nearly 40 percent next year, the highest tax rate set to take effect in 2013.
Obama also proposed raising the current 15 percent long-term capital gains tax rate to 20 percent for the wealthy. He had earlier also sought to set a 20 percent tax on dividends.
Who Pays What
Financials were responsible for more than 31 percent of the S&P 500 payouts in 2007, and they provided just 11.8 percent of the payout in 2011.
Consumer staples in 2011 were the biggest contributor, providing 15.5 percent of the total S&P 500 payout, while technology, seen as an underachiever when it comes to dividends, provided a surprising 10.4 percent of the total last year, according to Silverblatt.
The S&P 500 is currently yielding 2.09 percent but if stocks are removed that don't pay dividends, the average yield of the remaining 396 issues averages 2.46 percent, says Silverblatt. He said the historic yield, going back to the 1930s, is 3.76 percent and the average for the last decade was 1.9 percent.
"From 1962 to currently, the S&P dividend yield dividend by the 10-year yield was 43 percent, less than half," Silverblatt said. Now with the 10-year yielding less than 2 percent, the yield is 7 percent higher, he notes.
So far this year, 68 companies in the S&P 500 have announced dividend actions, with 66 increasing their payout rate and two companies initiating dividends, according to Standard and Poor's.

Duluth native Leif Anderson guides, supports local fitness community
SARAH PACKINGHAM: Duluth native Leif Anderson has been involved in athletics since a very young age. He has also always had a strong interest in the medical field.By: Sarah Packingham, for the Budgeteer
Duluth native Leif Anderson has been involved in athletics since a very young age. He has also always had a strong interest in the medical field.
"Going into high school, I was set," Anderson said. "I knew what I wanted to do."
Anderson majored in biochemistry at the University of Williamsburg, and knew that once he finished his degree he wanted to work in fitness and the medical community as a whole.
Thus, Leif Anderson Fitness was born, and for more than 10 years, Anderson has been helping all types of people reach their fitness goals. Leif Anderson Fitness works with people on weight loss and nutrition, as well as bodybuilding and nutrition.
Anderson works out of mainly the Hermantown location of Anytime Fitness, but there are a few other gyms in the area that will allow him to come in and work with clients. He also provides assessments and training with people across the country via the Internet.
Although bodybuilding is part of what Anderson does, the majority of his clientele are those who are looking to lose weight and get in shape. Anderson is so serious about helping people change their lives that he is even the part-owner of Fitness North in Two Harbors.
Fitness North is a live-in weight loss and fitness resort, much like the one seen on the hit TV show "The Biggest Loser." Anderson uses his time with Fitness North clients as a platform to transitioning to a better and healthier life.
By using Anderson's techniques and ideas, clients are also able to achieve the same results while at home as they would at Fitness North.
When it comes down to why he got into the fitness field, the answer was simple.
"It's about getting healthy," Anderson said. "It's about a quality of life."
Anderson doesn't tell his clients to restrict their food, as he knows that food is a part of life. He works with individuals to help maintain their weight loss over time, by working to reset their metabolism.
Anderson sees and hears his clients' success stories nearly every day. One of his clients has lost nearly 170 pounds in the last 15 months.
Although Leif Anderson Fitness technically has only three staff members, including Anderson, past and current clients work to "pay it forward" to others who are looking to succeed in their own fitness journeys by teaching what Anderson and his staff have taught them, which Anderson finds flattering and rewarding.
"Leif Anderson Fitness is a community," he said, with a smile on his face. "I love when past clients pay it forward." Weight loss is hard, not only physically but emotionally, on the person going through the body transformation.
"I believe that weight loss is more physiological than it is physical," Anderson continued. "Fear is a great factor and overcoming that fear can be very empowering. You have to push yourself and I am there to be somebody that believes in you."
Anderson believes individuals can achieve their goals as long as they set their mind to it: "I'm not going to abandon anyone, but you have to be ready," he explained. "Nobody can make you want to change. If this is your time and you're completely on board and you want to make a change, you can." Anderson said he doesn't sugarcoat things and there are times when clients want to quit and give up, but he will do all he can to help everyone achieve maximum results.
"It's amazing what the human body can do," he said. "We're all athletic human beings, whether you're looking to run a faster 40-yard dash or carry groceries up the stairs without getting out of breath."
The motto of Anderson and those in his athletic community is simple, he states. "Believe and Achieve."
More information about Anderson's services can be found on his website: www.leif-anderson.com.

Those may be baby bulls that run out for Nebraska's defense on Saturday. But they won't be pampered.
When I asked Nebraska coach Bo Pelini on Monday if he had a timetable for when his group of young bulls would grow up this season, Pelini said, "Saturday."
Pelini also hasn't instructed offensive coordinator Tim Beck to pull back on the up-tempo offense in order to slow the game down for the defense.
"No, we're not doing that," Pelini said. "Nothing's going to be different. We want to play our game. I expect our defense to play well, keep up.
"Now, obviously, you want to be smart about it. If they (defense) just got off the field on a long drive, you don't want to have a 17-second drive. We'll go by the situation. But that's why we have different tempos we play at."
There will be a learning curve for the defense, potholes and such along the way. But I like that approach. No training wheels. High expectations. Dare to be great. That's how you learn to be great.
� Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook asked an interesting question last week: Historically has there ever been a bigger month for University of Nebraska athletics? The Pinnacle Bank Arena, East Stadium expansion project and Devaney Center renovation all will be completed at about the same time. I'm sure somebody could find another month or time in history, but not in terms of facilities or growth. In some ways 2013 is the beginning of a new era. Kind of amazing to think about.
� It's hard to imagine there will be another expansion of Memorial Stadium. Given the distracted state of the modern sports fan, armed with flat screens and smart phones, it would be almost foolish for any college or professional entity to consider further expansion.
So Memorial Stadium might be a finished product, at least as a shell. That's fine. The East Stadium addition is magnificent. It's a perfect bookend to the West Stadium. Both additions blend in with the classic old stadium, which turns 90 this year. NU could do a brochure on how to modernize an old battleship stadium.
Brochure? Sorry. I meant do a website or Facebook page. Brochure is so 1920s.
� Now, what about that Bob Devaney statue in front of the East Stadium?
� Give credit to Creighton soccer coach Elmar Bolowich for playing UNO's young D-I program. A lot of coaches wouldn't do it. Bolowich doesn't have to do it. He's in a no-win situation. The game is good exposure for UNO. A rivalry between the national soccer name and the little guy just getting on his feet would be good for the sport. It will be interesting as CU adjusts its nonconference schedule to the strength of the Big East to see if UNO finds a place as a regular-season game.
Join the daily conversation on the Tom Shatel Facebook page. |
� Hearing KOZN's Gary Sharp on Monday say he wasn't buying into the hype of Indiana football made me wonder: What happens first? Indiana football makes a bowl game or Nebraska basketball makes the NCAA tournament? Send your answers to Tim Miles.
� A reader wanted to know about Bo Pelini's health, citing Pelini's scare last September in which he was taken to the hospital during the Arkansas State game. I'm nothing but a public servant, so I asked Pelini about it on Monday. The coach said he was in "great shape" and "ready to go." So there you go.
� All the reports out of Iowa football camp said C.J. Beathard had the big arm, but Jake Rudock was more steady and familiar with the offense. Probably no surprise that coach Kirk Ferentz picked Rudock to start the Northern Illinois opener. When was the last time you had a season opener this big, Hawk fans? A win could put some good karma into the program. A loss to NIU at home? Don't even think about it.
� Wasn't it just yesterday that Iowa Western quarterback Jake Waters picked K-State? On Monday KSU coach Bill Snyder returned the favor and picked Waters to start against North Dakota State on Friday. Snyder's a noted juco lover, but he's extremely picky about his quarterbacks. This was high praise for Waters. I'm eager to see how the former juco star does against NDSU, one of the top FCS schools coached by Craig Bohl.
� A reader on my lunch chat asked me for a Wyoming prediction. I had to say I don't do Nebraska game day predictions anymore. Sorry, I tried that back in the 1990s. What a deal. You could have had a monkey with a computer and a cigar do it back then. Every week it was Nebraska wins by this, by that. One of my national cronies joked that one week I would probably go with "Nebraska 45, 1972 Dolphins 10." He was half-right. I'd give the Fins at least 24 points.
� The Cox Classic put on a good show Sunday, but I couldn't help but think about the bad timing of having two major contracts (Champions Run and Cox Communications) run out the same year as the U.S. Senior Open. For those who have asked, Lincoln and Firethorn could certainly get a Web.com Tour event, but it wouldn't be the one in Omaha. Lincoln would have to start its own tourney, board, director, volunteers and sponsors, etc. The Cox Classic would not move to Lincoln.
� Troy Martin, Omaha's caddie on the Champions Tour, made an exciting career move recently. He's going to work for Nick Price, the three-time major winner, beginning next month in Hawaii. Nice job, Troy. Literally.
� One of my favorite people is leaving Nebraska. Jeff Culhane, who has hosted "Sports Nightly" on the Husker Sports Network, will be the play-by-play voice for West Virginia baseball and women's basketball. Which means he'll be back in the Big 12, and back at Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City. More important, back at Earl's Rib Palace. I'm jealous of that.
� Speaking of BBQ, I finally found Phat Jack's in Lincoln. I give it five stars. Very good groceries.
� One more and I'm outta here: I made the anxious journey to the white tees last weekend. I thought I would feel a major guilt trip but I didn't. I know many golfers older than this old swinger are too proud to move up. But it sped up the game for me and I had more fun. In fact, double bogeys have never been more fun.

Rogers Centre, Toronto, Ontario
TORONTO -- Jose Bautista came up with the perfect response to Darren O'Day's taunting: a tiebreaking home run.
Bautista hit a two-run shot in the eighth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays won their 10th consecutive game Saturday, beating the Baltimore Orioles 4-2.
Maicer Izturis hit a solo homer in the fifth for Toronto, on its longest winning streak since a 10-game run late in 2008. The Blue Jays, 14-4 this month, are one victory from matching the franchise record. Toronto had 11-game winning streaks in 1987 and 1998.
Kahrl: Blue Jays Won't Fade
Between some surprise slugging and a no-name pen to the rescue, you might doubt the Toronto Blue Jays; dont, Christina Kahrl writes. SweetSpot
"It's been a great run and hopefully we can continue," Bautista said.
The Blue Jays (37-36) are above .500 for the first time since last July 29, when they were 51-50.
Bautista traded angry words with O'Day after striking out to end the seventh inning Friday, stranding a runner at second base.
On Saturday, the Blue Jays slugger renewed the argument, yelling at O'Day while rounding the bases after his pivotal home run.
"I told him just to keep talking like he was yesterday because he kind of ran his mouth a little bit after he struck me out," Bautista said. "I don't know where that came from but I didn't appreciate it. I let him know that yesterday and that's a little reminder today."
O'Day declined to talk about his spat with Bautista, while Orioles manager Buck Showalter chalked it up to a clash of competitive personalities.
"Darren is a competitor, he likes to compete in those situations," Showalter said. "Sometimes he wins, sometimes Bautista wins. You've got two great, talented athletes competing out there and they both take it personally."
The Blue Jays led 2-1 heading into the eighth but Taylor Teagarden tied it with a homer off reliever Darren Oliver.
Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez left after Munenori Kawasaki hit a one-out single in the bottom half. O'Day came on and got Rajai Davis to ground into a fielder's choice, but Bautista followed with a two-out homer just inside the left-field foul pole on a 3-2 pitch.
"I made a terrible pitch," O'Day said. "If I make a good pitch, he's probably out."
Bautista, who homered for the 16th time this season, said he wasn't sure his drive was going to stay fair.
"I had no idea it was going to go out, either," Bautista said. "I knew I hit it well but I didn't know if it had enough."
The homer was the first allowed by O'Day since May 22, when Yankees infielder David Adams took him deep.
Oliver (3-1) worked one inning and Casey Janssen finished for his 17th save in 18 chances.
Gonzalez (5-3) allowed three runs and three hits in 7 1/3 innings. The right-hander, who won his previous three starts, lost for the first time since May 3 at the Los Angeles Angels.
"He was outstanding today," Showalter said. "He pitched really well. I was really proud of him."
It's been a busy week for Gonzalez, who left the team Monday for the birth of his first child, a daughter, and was activated off the paternity list Friday.
"I was supposed to throw a bullpen three days ago but it didn't happen," Gonzalez said. "I was back home with the family."
The Blue Jays opened the scoring in the first when Melky Cabrera drew a leadoff walk, advanced to third on Adam Lind's two-out single and scored on a wild pitch.
The Orioles tied it in the fifth after Chris Davis reached on second baseman Emilio Bonifacio's error. He went to second on a grounder and scored on Travis Ishikawa's single.
Izturis put the Blue Jays back in front by homering on the first pitch of the fifth.
Baltimore left the potential tying run stranded at third base in the seventh but knotted it at 2 in the eighth on Teagarden's one-out homer.
Blue Jays starter Chien-Ming Wang left to a standing ovation after giving up one run and five hits in 6 1/3 innings. The right-hander, who walked none and struck out two, has a 2.61 ERA in three starts with Toronto.
"That's three really good ones," manager John Gibbons said. "He shut down a good hitting team. I know he feels good, he's a part of it now. He's given us a big boost, that's for sure."
Game notes
Bautista is one home run away from 200 for his career. ... Blue Jays RHP Kyle Drabek (elbow surgery) is set to begin a minor league rehabilitation assignment with Class-A Dunedin on Saturday. ... Orioles C Matt Wieters got the day off, while Chris Davis started at DH. He doubled and scored a run, but struck out to end the game. ... Baltimore RHP Freddy Garcia is expected to start Sunday's series finale against RHP Josh Johnson, meaning LHP Zach Britton will start for the Orioles against Cleveland on Monday.

ReplyDelete Love the space. The space looks incredibly spacious and simple. Not an easy feat I would imagine with kids etc. Love how the artwork is displayed, especially in groups resting on shelves. And the kitchen table / storage is great. Do you know who makes that?
SWEET post.

SALT LAKE CITY — Hailee Hansen was flying through her bar routine one minute and standing on the padded floor trying to regroup the next.
"I think initially in that moment, you're just kind of shocked," she said. "So you get back up and you finish. After the fact, you're a little bit of everything. You're a little angry, you're a little bit embarrassed, yeah, I've definitely felt all of those things after I've fallen at a meet."
Falling is part of gymnastics.
Learning not to let a fall ruin a routine or other routines, including those of other gymnasts on a team, is part of mastering the sport. Last weekend, the Utah gymnastics team had three falls on their first event — the bars.
It shocked both the gymnasts and their coaches, all of whom felt the team was prepared and confident — especially on that event.
"People did things I've never seen before," said co-head coach Greg Marsden after Saturday's loss to top-ranked UCLA. "The only explanation I can give is we let the nerves get to us and then let it snowball. We had a lot of people (working events) they've never done before, but I was proud that after our meltdown on bars, they came back and did a reasonably good job."
Forgetting mistakes is key to salvaging a routine and a competition.
Hansen said she felt great before her fall at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. She was the second gymnast to fall.
"I went into the meet very confident," she said. "I think a lot of us did. I think our whole team went in very confident and ready to enjoy ourselves. I think when the time came, that kind of switched and nerves took over."
Junior Mary Beth Lofgren was a last-minute substitution, but she's experienced, so it was a surprise when she fell.
Hansen said there is a moment when a gymnast feels more pressure to make up for points lost by a teammate's mishap.
"That does go through your head," said the junior, who is a co-captain of the team this season. "You think that you've got a fall or two in front of you and you've got to do well, but honestly, you kind of can't think about that. You have to think about yourself, put it on automatic and just focus. I was really shocked when all of that happened. I think it was one of those flukey things."
Coach Megan Marsden said they didn't want to just hope that was true. Coaches sat down with athletes earlier this week to discuss what went wrong, why and how to fix it for Saturday's home opener at the Huntsman Center.
"It can be a snowball," said Megan Marsden. "And I do think the athletes let it snowball a little bit. That's why most of our issues were on one event. They let themselves feel like, 'Oh, now I really have to hit!' "
So coaches talked with players about the mental game and how they can't let what's going on around them — even to a teammate — adversely affect them.
"We talked about how you can't change your own approach," she said. "All you can do is your routine. And it's best if you can do it the way you always do it."
Hansen smiled when asked what those seconds after a fall were like.
"That's an interesting feeling," said the Bountiful native. "It's kind of like, you fall, you're shocked, but you have to put it on automatic, like nothing happened."

This homey pasta dish uses pancetta (Italian bacon) in the tomato sauce, but for vegetarians it can be easily omitted. The collards and Parmesan elevate the calcium count to rival a cup of milk.
You can vary the filling by substituting robust mustard greens or collards, or milder greens, such as spinach, escarole or Swiss chard. (Cook the greens until just tender in Step 2.)
Antioxidant-rich collard greens and fiber-packed black-eyed peas have a starring role in this nutritious soup. There's no need for loads of ham or salt pork—just a small amount of bacon gives it a wonderful smoky flavor. You can skip the bacon and substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth for a great vegetarian dish.
Here we turn baked beans into an easy main dish by adding chicken sausage and collard greens. Serve with: Coleslaw and cornbread.
Jamaican pepperpot soup is usually a long-simmered preparation made with tough cuts of meat and vegetables. This version uses quick-cooking sirloin instead to get it on the table fast. If you're not a fan of beef, try the soup with shrimp instead.
Here we've combined two favorite Southern side dishes—grits and greens—into one casserole; it's a natural choice to serve with Easter ham. Try omitting the bacon and using vegetable broth to make it a vegetarian dish.
Collard greens are a key ingredient in many Southern food recipes. Southerners traditionally serve collard green recipes on New Year's Day, along with black-eyed peas, to ensure wealth in the coming year. Collard greens have a neutral flavor that benefits from other big flavors, which is why collard green recipes often feature bacon or smoked ham. Try a healthy collard green recipe to bring you good luck or to include more nutritious dark leafy greens in your diet.

Derrick Washington's Defense in Court Again
The defense attorney for former University of Missouri football player Derrick Washington was back in court again Friday for the second time in two weeks.
By Ryan Williams (Columbia, Mo.)
Washington faces a misdemeanor charge of third degree domestic assault, after being found guilty of deviant sexual assault on Sept. 21st.
Defense attorney Christopher Slusher motioned to get the case to the circuit level in order to have a trial by jury.
"We are hoping that we can get the same judge as from the felony case to consolidate the cases," said Slusher.
Prosecuting Attorneys Richard Hicks and Andrea Hayes were not available for comment.
No timetable has been set on when the hearing will take place.

It's not clear Illinois lawmakers will come to an agreement on the pension problem anytime soon. But that's not stopping the Teachers' Retirement System from preparing for possible changes. One of the leading pension proposals would force employees to make a choice: give up state-backed health care in retirement, or accept lower pension cost-of-living increases.
Illinois has the worst-funded pension system in the country, and the General Assembly is trying to determine how to resolve the problem. What will Illinois state employees be saying about their retirement plans 30 years from now, based on decisions made today?
Lawmakers head back to Springfield in early January to try to tackle the state's massive pension crisis. Illinois' retirement systems have unfunded liabilities of at least $95 billion– and counting.
A labor union is demanding the resignation of the head of Illinois' teacher pension system. The union doesn't like what he's been saying about the future of teachers' retirement benefits. Richard Ingram says in order to solve the long-term funding problems of the Teachers' Retirement System, the state has to consider reducing automatic cost-of-living increases for retirees.
Governor Pat Quinn initially said a campaign dealing with public employee pensions would begin in August. Illinois owes $83 billion more in pensions than there is money available. That debt has prompted widespread calls for cuts to state employees' and teachers' benefits.
Both chambers consider limiting reform to lawmakesrs only No pension legislation will move through the General Assembly today. Legislators convened in Springfield for a special session on pensions, but the Senate has already adjourned without taking up any measures. Their website says the next session will be Nov. 27. The Illinois House was still in session at 5 p.m.
Illinois' pensions systems will get more scrutiny under legislation signed by Governor Pat Quinn. The bill calls on the state to hire an independent actuary.
