A year to remember for Nebraska high school boys basketball culminates with the first All-Nebraska starting five from the Metro Conference.
Never before have all five players on the newspaper's top honor team been from the conference. The Metro started in 1964-65. The All-Nebraska team started 50 seasons earlier.
The first team is made up of all seniors. They are Akoy Agau and Tra-Deon Hollins from four-time state champion Omaha Central; Brett Dougherty from runner-up Papillion-La Vista; Cam Williams from third-place Omaha South and Connor Lusso from state qualifier Millard West.
"They're a testament to what went on in the conference and illustrated how tough the conference was," Papillion-La Vista coach Jason Ryan said. "Even as early as our holiday tournament, when the quarterfinals got there we said those games could be a preview of the state tournament — and they were."
Central, and Agau, also brought the state some rare national exposure:
� Agau's signing with Louisville after being courted by Georgetown and Florida.
� Central's validation of its invitation to the elite City of Palms Classic tournament in Fort Myers, Fla., beating the eventual Georgia 4A state champions before dropping a pair of three-point games to nationally ranked teams from California and Chicago.
� Central's victory over fabled Oak Hill Academy in a February showcase game that filled Grand Island's Heartland Events Center.
The Eagles then became only the second four-time state champions in Class A — Lincoln Northeast was the first, from 1995 to 1998.
Now Agau becomes only the fifth three-time All-Nebraska first-team selection. This year's honorary captain joins Ike Mahoney of Omaha Commerce (1919 to 1921), Ron Kellogg of Omaha Northwest (1980 to 1982), Antoine Young of Bellevue West (2006 to 2008) and Mike Gesell of South Sioux City (2010 to 2012).
"I don't know even where to begin,'' Agau said. "Like I've said before, I've been blessed to be with this group of guys and the coaching staff. We've had some fun times together, like getting to go to Florida. That's what I'll miss the most."
Eight teams in the final Top 10 ratings were from the Metro Conference. The league's dominance of Class A was evident in the All-Nebraska selection process.
The next two players in first-team consideration also were in the Metro. Josiah Gustafson of Millard North, who was on the first team last season, missed the first month of this season to injury. Khyri Thomas of Omaha Benson is the only junior among the top seven.
"There's been some real talent in the Metro, and it shows in the teams,'' Central coach Eric Behrens said.
Also on the second team are two juniors from small schools, Rylee Reinertson of Class C-1 Gibbon and Adam Moon of Class D-1 O'Neill St. Mary's. Central senior KJ Scott fills out the unit.
Third-team selections are seniors Ryan Tegtmeier of Bruning-Davenport/Shickley, Nate Kuhl of Johnson Couty, Kevin Dineen of Omaha Creighton Prep, Noah Housh of Lincoln North Star and Michael Hadden of Class B runner-up Scottsbluff.
Nominations of coaches and observations of The World-Herald's sports staff determine the teams. All schools received nomination forms by email.
Hollins' value to Central was evident in the five games he missed during midseason with a high ankle sprain. The Eagles were 3-2 without him, losing to Papillion-La Vista and South.
"On this team, we didn't necessarily have a lot of depth, and Tra was so good in so many ways for us,'' Behrens said. "He was our leader in rebounds and steals, our best on-ball defender and was a shade under Akoy in scoring. Across five, six, seven categories, he was first or second for us. And it showed up when he was out.
"He averaged 12 points, and it wasn't just taking out those points, it was what opponents got when he was out. It was almost like a 20-point swing. Our other guys are good players, but it shows how good he is."
Hollins in the next two weeks will consider his options. He could go to a junior college for basketball or take a Division II offer in football. Behrens said Hollins also is considering a year at an Eastern prep school.
"He can play either sport,'' Behrens said. "He'll have to decide where and which one he wants to play."

Lusso, a 6-6 Truman State recruit, set Millard West's career scoring records with 1,389 points and 735 rebounds. He, like Agau, was a four-year starter.
"Connor was much more consistent than he has been in the past. He had 12 double-doubles,'' Millard West coach Bill Morrison said. "His shooting percentage was up and his turnovers were down. He shot more free throws and was better from the line. And he probably was our hardest worker most of the time.
"When he kept his game simple, that's when he had his better games."
Dougherty, a 6-6 Northwest Missouri State recruit, started the season with 20 points and 20 rebounds against Lincoln Southwest.
"He was outstanding from the get-go,'' Papio's Ryan said. "He led us in scoring and rebounding and improved defensively, too. He averaged 29 or 30 minutes a game. He changed a lot of shots, was more active on the floor and he was one of the best post players in the state, bar none."
Williams, a 6-foot guard, played every position this season for Omaha South except center, Packers coach Bruce Chubick said, and averaged a team-high 17.2 points. He scored a career high 35 against Benson, including a 20-of-21 showing at the line.
"He wore a lot of hats,'' Chubick said. "His versatility and the offense he brought to the table were huge."
Williams is likely to play junior college ball, his high school coach said, with a goal of getting to a higher level in two years.
"He worked hard on his shot and actually shot pretty good this year,'' Chubick said.
As for Agau, his high school coach laughed when asked for the last word of so many written over the years on his 6-9 star. Agau averaged a team-high 12.8 points, scoring 20 against Oak Hill in the Eagles' 70-63 win.
"I don't know if there ever will be a last word on him,'' Behrens said. "His legacy is to be the ultimate winner, and he never lost a game in the state tournament in four years. He always played his best games in our biggest games and never really was numbers- or stats-driven.
"It's a credit to him that he always was the ultimate team player."

William Coley
William Bradley Coley | |
Born | Westfield, Connecticut |
January 12, 1862
Died | April 16, 1936 | (aged 74)
Parents | Horace Bradley Coley Clarina B. Wakeman |
William Bradley Coley (January 12, 1862 – April 16, 1936) was an American bone surgeon and cancer researcher, pioneer of cancer immunotherapy. He developed a treatment based on provoking an immune response to bacteria. In 1968 a protein related to his work was identified and called tumor necrosis factor-alpha.[1]
He was born on January 12, 1862 in Westfield, Connecticut to Horace Bradley Coley and Clarina B. Wakeman.
He began his career as a bone surgeon at New York Cancer Hospital (which later became part of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center); however, he became more interested in cancer treatment when one of his early patients, Elizabeth Dashiell,[2] died from bone cancer. While going through hospital records, Coley found a sarcoma case study of one patient named Fred Stein, whose tumor disappeared following a high fever from erysipelas infection, now known as Streptococcus pyogenes.[3] This sparked Coley's interest and drove him to find what few examples of similar cancer treatment had been previously recorded. He discovered that other medical pioneers including Robert Koch, Louis Pasteur, and Emil von Behring, had recorded observations of erysipelas infection coinciding with cancer regression.
Coley's first intentional erysipelas infection was performed on a patient named Mr. Zola on May 3, 1891, who had tonsil and throat cancer. Mr. Zola came down with erysipelas and his condition improved tremendously. Mr. Zola lived for another eight and a half years.[3][3]
Coley was convinced that he could effectively use bacteria to treat cancer and created a mixture of killed bacterial infusions since known as Coley's Toxins or Coley's vaccine. The infusion was administered by injection in increasing doses to induce a fever. Once stimulated, he observed, the immune system could be capable of tackling cancerous cells along with the infection.[3] The cancerous cells would then slough off.
Clinical trials[edit]
Coley developed the theory that it was the infections which had helped patients in the past to recover from their cancer. So he began to treat patients by injecting a brew of Streptococcus pyogenes directly into inoperable tumors. This met with much success, even after metastasis.[citation needed] The treatment was most effective when it provoked a fever and a full-blown infection. This observations coincided with similar observations in 1867 by the German physician W. Busch when his patient's tumor became smaller after a high fever.[4] Later, Coley decided to use a mixture of dead Streptococcus pyogenes and dead Serratia marcescens bacteria. According to Stephen Hoption Cann of the University of British Columbia, "He had successes you simply couldn't hope for today, curing even extensive metastatic disease."[5]
On January 24, 1893, the first patient to receive Coley vaccine (aka Coley's toxins) was John Ficken, a sixteen-year-old boy with a massive abdominal tumor. Every few days, Coley injected his vaccine directly into the tumor mass and produced the symptoms of an infectious disease, but did not produce the disease itself. On each injection, there was a dramatic rise in body temperature and chills. The tumour gradually diminished in size. By May 1893, after four months of intensive treatment, the tumour was a fifth its original size. By August, the remains of the growth were barely perceptible.[3]
The boy received no further anticancer treatment and remained in good health until he died of a heart attack 26 years later. Coley published his results and by the turn of the century 42 physicians from Europe and North America had reported cases of cancer that had been successfully treated with Coley vaccine.
Radiation therapy vs. Coley vaccine[edit]
By 1901, the development of x-rays as a cancer treatment showed great promise. In particular, the therapy resulted in immediate tumor destruction and pain relief. Although Coley claimed successful treatment of hundreds of patients, the absence of proven benefit or reproducibility led to broader emphasis on surgery and on the newly developing field of radiation therapy. This decision was borne out by the eventual successful treatment of millions of people worldwide with radiation therapy.
Coley arranged for a wealthy friend to provide funds to purchase two x-ray machines for his use. However, after several years of experience, Coley came to the conclusion that the effect of that primitive x-ray therapy in the untrained hands of experimenters was localized, temporary and not curative. The scientific majority disagreed, most notably his contemporary James Ewing. His contemporary critics cited the dangerous and unpredictable effects, predominantly the fever caused by the bacteria, that the vaccine had upon individuals weakened by cancer. Furthermore the vaccine had to be made to a patient's exact needs, making it more labour-intensive, time-consuming and expensive.
Coley died on April 16, 1936.[6]
In 2005, drug makers including Pfizer and Sanofi-Aventis had a renewed interest in modern versions of Coley's Toxins;[7] Pfizer has acquired the Coley Pharmaceutical Group, set up in 1997[8]
The historical results of Coley vaccine therapy are difficult to compare with modern results. Coley's studies were not well controlled and factors such as length of treatment and fever level were not adequately documented. Many of his patients had also received radiation and sometimes surgery. According to the analyses of Coley Nauts and Starnes, treatment success correlated with length of therapy and the fevers induced by the toxins.[9] The recently formed non-profit Global Cures Foundation[10] plans to fund research trials of Coley's Toxins in the near future.
There were, however, many different formulations of Coley Vaccine. These varied greatly in effectiveness, and there were many different treatment protocols that also varied greatly in effectiveness.

Computer keyboards are like mattresses -- you don't know how bad yours is until you try a good one. If you don't have an aversion to split keyboards, the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 can help you keep RSI therapy off your list of things to do this year. The split keys and the angled keyboard keep your wrists in a more natural and comfortable position, and the dedicated (and programmable) buttons reduce the amount of mousing you do. At around £32, however, the keyboard is rather pricey, and it takes up a lot of desktop acreage.
Setting up the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 is easy. Load the IntelliType Pro 5.3 software from the included CD, restart your computer and plug in the USB keyboard. The printed quick-start guide gives instructions for using a PS2 adaptor, but we tried it on two different systems and couldn't get that to work. Microsoft confirmed our findings that the keyboard isn't PS2 compatible -- we would rather use the PS2 connector to free up a USB port.
Along the top edge of the bulky Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 is a row of programmable silver buttons. Aside from the five favourites buttons, they come preprogrammed to do things such as open a browser window, open an email client, control media playback and open the desktop calculator. You can easily reprogram them to open a different version of a program (for example, Firefox instead of Internet Explorer or Outlook instead of Hotmail) or to do something different altogether (such as open a particular file or launch a program). The five favourites buttons aren't preprogrammed -- if you forget what functions you've assigned them, hitting the My Favorites button calls up a window that shows you.
The function keys also do double duty on this keyboard. With the F Lock on they perform their standard functions. With the F Lock off they execute a number of shortcuts, including undo/redo, save, print and reply/forward/send for email programs. The F keys are all labelled with their secondary functions.
In the area between the split keys resides a two-way toggle that lets you zoom in and out of the active page. Below the spacebar (and between the wrist pads) are two buttons -- back and forth -- that allow you to move between Web pages without having to reach for your mouse. Both features are welcome additions, as they cut down on mousing.
The Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 offers a couple of additional features that will appeal to those concerned about repetitive stress and proper wrist alignment. The two halves slant down from the middle, allowing you to keep your wrists in a more naturally rotated position. Also, the keyboard comes with a snap-on riser that gives the unit a bit of a backward slant, which prevents you from flexing your wrists. Some sort of faux leather covers the built-in wrist rests, giving them a smooth yet supple feel. Although the wrist rests are padded, they're still rather hard and not nearly as comfortable as the gel wrist rests you can get elsewhere.

Yankees, Braves, Cards in Brevard this weekend
Looking for something to do this weekend? Head out to Space Coast Stadium. As one fan from Washington D.C. exclaimed before Friday's Washington Nationals game against the Houston Astros, there is "sun, beer and good baseball."
Liv n Hern ndez: Player turned coach

Well, I've been lurking this site for quite some time, figured it's about time to start posting my own "art" on here. I hope to get some good advice along the way.
Old stuff first... these were my kind of my highschool graduation pieces. I studied graphics design for the last 3 years there. I'm in my first year of art college now.
They're all "fantasy" pieces... more or less... the teaches suggested the theme because my sketches were all kind of strange imaginary creatures, you know, like 90% of the stuff on here ^^.
I hate all of these...
There are a few more which I don't have with me...
Completely random stuff...

David about the design:It´s so fun to paint for many goalies in the same team, to paint and create in totally different styles and themes and make every mask artwork 100% unique. This mask comes directly from a sandstorm in the Arizona desert…!This mask is for Mike Lee, I love to be your painter Mike.The mask is created as an old school design, with so much detail work... And to give it a cool connection to Arizona we created it with effects to make it look like it has been in the wildest Arizona sandstorm ever... Damages and scratches all over the mask create cool effects and a unique look.And just as usual when you look close at the mask the real action kicks in and you see all the effects used…like 3-D PaintTech, Holographix FX, Metallic FX, GhostSmoke and mucho mucho more… :-)Thanks for your interest in my paint!

Also on Monday, the World Bank warned that a "more pronounced slowdown" is possible in China, the world's second-largest economy. It also cut its overall growth forecast for developing countries in Asia.
Slower growth in Asia could drag down the U.S. economy. One of the few bright points for the U.S. during the recession was tremendous growth in export demand by developing nations in Asia and other regions.
While the U.S. economy isn't doing badly, investors have been counting on growth in Asia for help, said Rex Macey, chief investment officer at Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors. "There was a point where we said 'Thank goodness for Asia and China. Their growth can fuel the recovery.'" That's not so clear anymore, he said.
Stocks and industries that depend most heavily on U.S. economic growth were among the biggest losers Monday. Intel fell 17 cents to $22.51. Home Depot fell $1.32 to $61.88 and Walt Disney lost 64 cents to $52.33.
Wal-Mart Stores and American Express shares didn't move much after they announced a reloadable prepaid card with no recurring or overdraft fees. But the news hammered shares of prepaid card competitor Green Dot Corp., which has also offered a card with Wal-Mart. Green Dot fell $2.60, or 20 percent, to $10.25.
UnitedHealth Group rose 47 cents to $57.60 after the health insurer said it would pay $4.9 billion in cash to buy most of Brazilian health benefits and hospital services provider Amil Participacoes.
Truck and engine maker Navistar rose $1.60, or 8 percent, to $22.81 after saying it will add two board members associated with activist investors, heading off a proxy battle.
European markets also closed lower. France's CAC-40 fell 1.5 percent, Germany's DAX fell 1.4 percent and Britain's FTSE 100 lost 0.5 percent.
U.S. government bond trading was closed for the Columbus Day holiday.

On an early October day, with summer still lingering, thirteen-year-old Douglas Spaulding dreams that he is set adrift alone on a ship as his family and friends remain on the shore, waving good-bye. This disturbing dream catapults Douglas, his younger brother, Tom, and their friends into a "civil war" with the elderly men of the town, who are led by Calvin C. Quartermain, chairman of the school board.
The conflict's first shot, fired by Doug, fells Mr. Braling, an elderly man and close friend of Quartermain, and the war begins in earnest. A series of skirmishes between Douglas's and Quartermain's respective forces ensue for control over the boys' lives and destinies, and culminates in the boys' assault on the town courthouse tower clock in an attempt to literally stop Time and remain as they are. Eventually, Douglas learns about the inevitability of maturity when Lisabell, whom he met at a party thrown by Quartermain, kisses him.
In a scene reminiscent of the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, both sides learn their lesson about the inevitability of adulthood and death, and the futility of warring against the inexorable march of Time. Peace is declared. As Doug and Tom lie in bed, they hear the wind outside blow the last leaves from the trees. Summer has ended, and Autumn has begun.
Questions for Discussion
1. The three parts of the novel are named for famous battles of the Civil War; Antietam, Shiloh, and Appomattox. Antietam was the single bloodiest day of the war and a somewhat inconclusive victory for the North due to the failure to pursue and destroy the Confederate Army. Shiloh was a draw that could have been a Union disaster because of poor positioning of the troops. Appomattox is almost a synonym for surrender and the end of a war. How do these titles reflect the action of the book and how are the events in each part illustrative of the Civil War battles? Why do you think Bradbury named each part in this fashion?
2. The title Farewell Summer means more than merely a goodbye to a season. What is the phrase "farewell summer" a metaphor for? What other than a season are the characters, specifically Douglas and Quartermain, saying goodbye to?
3. At the beginning of the novel, Douglas has a dream—a nightmare, really—in which he is set adrift on a ship by himself as his family and friends say goodbye to him from the dock (pp. 9—11). When Douglas awakens why is he so afraid of the dream, and how does this lead to his subsequent actions in the novel? What is Douglas afraid of, other than the obvious motif of death?
4. What is the importance of Douglas's grandfather to the novel? Why does the grandfather, also an elderly man, seem to be above the conflict? Why does Douglas not include him among the enemy?
5. When Bleak accuses Quartermain of cutting himself off from life because he never married and had children (pp. 148165) Bleak states that all of life is about letting go. How is Quartermain's problem, the refusal to let go, similar to Douglas's refusal to grow up? Do both characters essentially have the same problem, a refusal to accept that growth and change are a part of life and that they cannot do anything to stop it?
Dandelion Wine was published in 1957, and Farewell Summer is the sequel to that beloved novel. In case you would like to include Dandelion Wine as part of your discussion, as well, here are some questions that address both novels to help you direct your reading group's conversation.
1. The ravine figures largely in both novels, but is treated differently in each. How is the ravine different in each novel? Does it have the same importance in both stories? Are there any similarities between the two novels in the representation of the ravine?
2. Both novels contain a scene in which organization is considered stifling. In Dandelion Wine, the aunt organizes the grandmother's kitchen and the grandmother is no longer able to cook. In Farewell Summer, part of the reason the boys attack the clock at the old courthouse is because the courthouse symbolizes where their lives are recorded and organized. What is Bradbury saying about the power of bureaucracy and organization in these two scenes? Must this power be thrown off completely, or can some accommodation be made with it? Does each novel present the same conclusion about this power?
3. Both novels present a piece of a past boyhood summer. How are the depictions of the past summers different in each novel? Are both depictions nostalgic? Why or why not?
4. How is the character of Douglas different in each of the two novels? How is he the same? What are the reasons for the similarities and differences?
5. Both novels deal with the theme of the fear of death. In Dandelion Wine, the losses with which Douglas deals lead to his fever. In Farewell Summer, this fear leads to war. How is the fear of death "cured" in each novel? How are the cures similar or different? Why do you think Douglas is so preoccupied with death?

Home · Centers at McCombs · EMIC · 2014 Austin Electricity Conference
Thursday & Friday April 3-4, 2014
The 4th Annual Austin Electricity Conference will once again convene a diverse group of experts from across the country to explore issues in the industry. The conference is an annual, invitation-only conclave of engineers, economists, policymakers, lawyers and other experts in the electric utility industry, drawn from academia, industry, government, and NGOs. The conference follows the Aspen Institute model, in which extended plenary discussions are organized around short (less than 10 min.) panel presentations so as to promote cross disciplinary discussion among the invited participants. In this way, the model treats all invited participants as "presenters" and puts less emphasis on formal panel presentations.
The conference will be held at the AT&T Conference Center and Hotel in Austin, Texas.
If you need an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact Jessica Miller no later than five business days prior to the event.
Please check back for a list of 2014 AEC participants.
9:30 a.m.-9:45 a.m. Classroom 105
Panel 1 Discussion: Decentralized Delivery Models for Electricity Moderator: Varun Rai, University of Texas at Austin Paul Wattles, ERCOT Steven Weissman, University of California, Berkeley Frank Wolak, Stanford University Maura Yates, SunEdison
Panel 2 Discussion: New Finance and Ownership Structures for Renewables and Distributed Generation Moderator: John Butler, University of Texas at Austin Felix Mormann, University of Miami
Panel 3 Discussion: Opportunities and Challenges at the Gas-Electricity Nexus Moderator: Ross Baldick, University of Texas at Austin Mark Babula, ISONE Alexandra Klass, University of Minnesota Brett Perlman, Vector Advisors Sandy Rizzo, Bracewell & Giuliani
Panel 4 Discussion: Barriers to Innovation Moderator: David Adelman, University of Texas at Austin Chuck Harder, CenterPoint Energy Joel Mickey, Ercot Amy Stein, Tulane University Michael Wara, Stanford University
This panel will explore the growth of distributed generation, micro grids, and other decentralized delivery models in the electric utility industry, as well as the business and regulatory issues triggered by these new delivery models. What is the role of the traditional electric utility in the development of these decentralized sources?
Moderator: Varun Rai, The University of Texas at Austin
This panel will explore the economics of developing distributed generation, particularly new ownership structures and other devices used to finance new construction. This panel will also explore the potential extension of ownership/financing structures like the Master Limited Partnerships or Real Estate Investment Trusts to renewables, efficiency and other energy investments.
Moderator: John Butler, The University of Texas at Austin
The prospect of inexpensive natural gas in the foreseeable future has changed the relationship between gas and electricity markets, presenting both competitive challenges and business opportunities for gas and electric utilities, along with other providers of gas and electric services. This panel will explore the technical, economic and legal aspects of these challenges and opportunities.
Moderator: Ross Baldick, The University of Texas at Austin
In their efforts to promote alternative models of electric service, proponents may encounter legal and technical barriers to their visions of a new electric service future. This panel will focus on those legal and technical obstacles, and the questions of whether and how they might be overcome.

The 2014 Austin Electricity Conference will explore the challenges to traditional modes of generating and delivering electricity posed by innovation in the electricity industry. Innovation poses challenges to the traditional utility-centric, central station model of energy service. Innovation in generation, transmission and metering technologies, in business models and ownership structures for new electric generation facilities, and in regulatory regimes is driving rapid change in the electric utility industry. In some ways, this innovation is driving decentralization in the industry, including the development of distributed generation, micro grids, electricity storage (including, for example, electric cars), and other alternatives to traditional delivery of electric services, and creating new opportunities at the intersection of gas and electric markets. In other ways, the transmission and distribution utilities sit at the center of all this change.

Are the Raiders wrong for making Matt Flynn the starter?

08:06 PM ET 05.07 | Matt Flynn is good, but he is not the only quarterback playing for the Raiders. The organization should not forget about their two other young guys, Terrelle Pryor and Tyler Wilson. I believe that by giving Flynn the nod as the "presumed" starter then it significantly takes away the competition that quarterbacks are supposed to have. Let the starting quarterback job be wide open until all three guys are able to give the coaching staff a legitimate look at their talents and properly showcase their individual skill sets. Sure, Wilson and Pryor might not be ready for the job yet, but hey, you never know. Rookie quarterbacks have succeeded year in and year out in the NFL, while young guns have also taken over the reins and excelled.
I think it's a great idea. The last time Matt Flynn went into training camp as the presumptive starter, the Seahawks came out of it with Russell Wilson.\
Why, Flynn could make a career of doing this, being just unimpressive enough to give young draftees a chance to shine.

Don't the Raiders always make mistakes? Looking forward to a 4-12 season.
Until the Davis family is no longer involved with the Raiders, it doesn't matter what they do. Just lose baby.

I disagree. New GM Reggie McKenzie's hands are tied due to Oakland's salary cap issues (IIRC Oakland has over 30 million in dead money) but he is doing everything he can to get the books right. McKenzie's also acquired some decent pieces along the way so and it's not hard to.imagine that in a year or two's time the Raiders might be surprising a whole lot of folks like you.
The Raiders are by no means a finished product but they've done a lot of the necessary in-house cleaning and definitely appear to finally be making some smart decisions which will allow them to compete with other teams. Even the Carson Palmer fiasco, which seemingly just happened recently, has been addressed.
Not much more you could ask for right now.

If it's make sense, easy and will bring the desired results, then the Raiders want nothing to do with it.
No matter how bad it gets for any other team, they can put a smile on their face and think to themselves "at least we're not the Raiders"

Itunes 11 Missing scroll bar
Ok, my entire IT department started working on this. At first they couldn't believe it. Then after 3-4 of them stopped by they did believe it. They all did the same things I did. Minimize, maximize, change screen res, change display size/shape, etc. Cost me a fortune in Mountain Dew (just kidding).
Finally someone found a bandaid. But, it probably won't work if itunes automatically opens when my ipad is plugged in.
We right clicked on the itunes icon on the home screen and went to properties. It was set for "normal window". When we changed it to "maximized" it didn't help. But, when we changed it to "minimized", then clicked on the minimized icon at the bottom of the screen to maximize/open the program, it appeared with a usable scroll bar. Kind of a PITA, but it works.

I Installed iTunes 11 yesterday and had no problems with the scroll bar until today. I am having the same problem as you, but if I minimize the window and then open it, the scroll bar appears, but thats still annoying to have to minimize the window everytime I open iTunes. I know its over there, but you can't reach it, it was perfect yesterday, but now it doesn't want the scroll bar on the screen. Another really annoying thing about iTunes 11 is now in album view, I can't change the size of the Album Covers, you can in artists view though, but I don't use that. Why does iTunes always have these problems constantly, Windows Media Player has had it right since day one, Apple just needs to copy that completely and quit having this sloppy mess, such as with the way it organizes its folders.

Yeah, I have reported this to Apple. What a pain in the ar$e that is. Who came up with that idea? Didn't they do any bug testing at all on this release?

"Major Wifey Points" hehehehehe Nice one - lovin' that. Good luck with V11, after a couple of days of stuffing around I found it wasn't worth the hassle, the bugs and UI issues and went back to 10 - worth considering.
Others on here suggested Winamp as well, I downloaded that and it is actually pretty good too - very painless to set up and imported all of the existing itunes playlist. Also worth a look if iTunes is no longer rocking you boat like it used to.And no, I don't have any interested in either product. Just looking for something to play my MP3 without all the issues that iTunes 11 has introduced.

We bought the ipad for my mother-in-law since she was having problems with her computer. After 2 months it didn't work out so my wife has it now. I have a 10.1" android.
Itunes 11 is one of the reasons I am considering selling the ipad and getting my wife a more versatile android. Besides the problems with itunes 11, I can't understand the restrictions purposely written into the programming on the ipad: Locking it into itunes, can't view full sized images or movies directly from an sd card in the camera connector kit (important since we are photogs with many gigs of photos when traveling), can't connect it directly to the camera while shooting like we can with the android, can't simply drag books, files, etc., directly from my laptop to the device, the incomprehensible use of icons instead of words, can't add sd card memory, the ultra-slow downloads from itunes, etc. As far as our needs go, it is basically just an e-reader and not a usable tool like the android. Nice weight, screen and keyboard, etc., though.
Since it is only a couple months old and we would take a big loss on it if we sell it, I may jailbreak it to see if that helps. I am sorry to admit that this foray into apple products is not working well for us. Seems to be one negative after another. I was really hoping this would work out and do what we needed it to do. Oh well.

I got the scroll bar and the number of songs back by resizing the window. Do the following:
Minimize the screen so that you can barely see the scroll bar on the right. Run the mouse over to the edge until the <-> appears. Drag the window left until the entire scroll bar is visable. Do the same with the bottom of the window and the song count will appear. Everything is now like Itunes 10.

Actually, it is not like iTunes 10 at all.
And you will note that the scrolll bar and status info keep vanishing again periodically - useless.

Hal, sorry, that might work on your system, but it won't work on my 64bit Windows 7. As stated in the original post, the edge is so far to the right that the screen can't be minimized to a point where the cursor can grab the edge and change the size.

howdy y'all,
one thing that still works is the standard alt-space command to enable the system menu. that contains a size command that you can select and then resize the itunes window. the nifty thing about the system menu is that it will _always_ show it'self on the screen - even if the upper right corner is off the screen. plus, you can use the arrow keys and not the mouse.
handy, that. [*grin*]

Sorry Lee. As stated, when minimized on my system the display still does not get small enough to grab the edge. Even after changing the monitor settings and not filling the whole screen. I kind of think if every other software company in the country can make a workable program then Apple should be able to do it.

NORFOLK, Va. —
A woman has been charged in connection with the latest of more than 70 arsons on Virginia's rural Eastern Shore, an official said Tuesday.
Tonya S. Bundick was arrested early Tuesday following a traffic stop near a vacant residence that had been set on fire in the town of Melfa, said state police spokeswoman Corinne Geller.
Bundick, 40, was being held Tuesday at the Accomack County Jail without bond on arson and conspiracy charges. It was unclear if she had an attorney.
Bundick is a resident of Parksley, a small community where the first of 77 arsons state police have been investigating since Nov. 12 was lit. Of those, 16 were set in Parksley.
Geller said it was too early to say if the latest arson is linked to the others or if Bundick is a suspect in the others. Authorities scheduled a news conference for Tuesday afternoon.
All of the arsons have been set in Accomack County, which borders Maryland and encompasses more than half of Virginia's Eastern Shore.
The county doesn't have an arson investigator, so state police have taken the lead and have spent thousands of man-hours working on the case since Dec. 1.
Sometimes multiple fires miles apart were set on a single night, and state police have previously said they believed at least two people were working together to set them. Police have also said there was no discernible pattern about where they were set, although each fire was set at night. During the evenings, the county is dependent on volunteer firefighters who typically have day jobs to respond to the fires.
Nearly all of the structures that were set on fire were abandoned or unused buildings, and there have been no reports of injuries.
The fire Bundick was charged in connection with was reported at 11:40 p.m. Monday. It was quickly extinguished and damage was minimal, Geller said.
"I'm glad they caught her if she really set the fire at the house last night," said Donald Varney, who runs a fishing tackle shop in Wachapreague, a town on the Eastern Shore about six miles northwest of Melfa.
But the arrest did not ease Varney's mind about the string of arsons.
"I'm expecting tonight to see another one go up somewhere," he said.

That is great, it is to bad they don't make them as sturdy as they used to. Thanks I will be making one of these for my girls.
Since quite a few of my hairstyles use flips, many followers have been asking where they can purchase a Topsy Tail tool. It can be purchased online at Amazon (via the link), on Ebay, or locally at your Claire's, Wal-Mart, Target, or Sally Beauty supply.
As we all know, things are not made as sturdy as they used to be years ago… in fact, many of the Topsy Tail manufacturers today make them out of cheap plastic. The problem is that if you do not loosen the ponytail enough before you use the tool, the tension while pulling the hair through causes the tool to break.
The Topsy Tail tool that I have been using is very sturdy, because it was one of the originals my mom bought back when I was a little girl. But, you simply do not have to spend $2-5 (not including shipping) online or spend hours hunting through the stores trying to find a Topsy Tail tool. We are going to show you how to make one with stuff you might already have at home!
As you can see, the one we made in the photo above is not pretty by any means… but is is very functional and will last you for forever! You can make on any size you would like, but this one is particularly for large ponytail flips. (You will need to use smaller wire to make a Topsy Tail tool for small pigtail flips on your younger daughters.)
Items Needed: Wire cutters, electrician's tape, and a dry cleaner's wire hanger.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Not only do we show you how to make the Topsy Tail tool, but we show you how easily the homemade one works on a basic ponytail flip!
If you like this tip… be sure to let us know!
* Note from Mindy: Don't forget to follow us on BlogLovin, a new easy-to-use blog reader!
That is great, it is to bad they don't make them as sturdy as they used to. Thanks I will be making one of these for my girls.
Great idea! Thanks!
Awesome! I have been looking for a Topsy Tail. I am going to make one right now. Thanks.
I love your blog! So much fun for me and my girls to follow. I have a question that I've been wanting to ask for a while now: What kind of hair elastics do you like the best? I feel like I've tried everything out there but can't seem to find anything that I totally love. From the videos it seems that you usually use a black elastic, not the clear "plastic" ones that are so popular right now. Suggestions?? Thanks so much!
i think the idea is grat and all but it might hurt your daughters hair with the tape, because when you put it through the hair the tape might get stuck in the hair and it would make a huge knot and i don't want to deal with my daughters hair because i am horrible with knots!
Great tip! Thanks a bunch! I have looked at Walmart several times for one, but can't ever find one. And I'm too cheap to pay shipping for one! So, I'm going to have to go with the homemade style. You guys are a great team! Thanks for sharing!
Why didn't I think of this, before just having bought my topsy tail a week ago?
THANK YOU! I love this! I've been dying to get one and I have everything to make one instead!
OOOOO! I love this tip! I've been trying to find a topsy tail for months – ever since I started following your blog. Thanks!!!!
Thank you SO much! I am totally gonna make this. I tried making this before with just wire and it did not work.
FYI… Topsy Tails were on the 10 for 10$ dollar rack this weekend at The Icing and Clairs (same stores, same owners).
Thanks so much my sister and I are making one tonight
Thank you so much for the tip! I have been doing the flip by hand and causing more tears than it's worth. I will be making one of these tonight. My daughter will thrilled.
thanks for sharing the idea! I think I gave my topsy tail to my nieces, but if I ever want a new one, I know what to do
Awesome instructions! That's a great idea. I have the book by the original inventor, and that's similar to some of the prototypes she made before the final design.
I would suggest, if you are looking to buy one, get the actual Scuncii brand from the Hair Flair Boutique. (hairflairboutique.com). It's much sturdier than the one from Claire's and the ones from eBay. (Don't ask me how I know… LOL.)
My girls don't have much hair & I have improvised with dental floss threaders. They work great for my follicly challenged girls as the TT is not flexible or small enough for their hair type/ length. I will be happy when they have enough hair to use the smaller TT!
So I had one of those from way back in the day…til it broke. The one I had snapped together so I could make the opening as small or as big as I wanted. I LOVED that! The new ones are set to one size and it doesn't seem to make as nice of a flip as the other one did. We have already been through one of the new ones (it broke, had to buy another one). I'm excited to make your version. I have made one from pipe cleaners that seems to work pretty well too. Thanks for sharing!
What a great tip. I made mine this morning and will be using it not only on my daughters hair, but mine also. I also had a go at making my own hair ornaments by using a hot glue gun and attaching large buttons to bobby pins, it looks great and co-ordinates with my daughters school uniform.
Keep up the good ideas, we love them!!!

This is great!! I cannot find a topsy turvy tail anywhere so I will be trying this tomorrow for school! Thanks for the great tip!
I have e-mailed you a question at cutegirlhairstyles@gmail I would really appreciate it if you could reply SOON.
This is ingenious! I bet we can make it in different sizes to so that we can make smaller flips here and there! Thanks for posting this!
Great idea! Love it! Thanks for sharing

We made one using a pipe cleaner! It was sooo fast and simple. And when it broke a few months later, we just grabbed another pipe cleaner! I'm sure yours would hold up better in the long run, but if anyone is needing a super quick, no-tool way to make one, grab a pipe cleaner!
I loved your idea! I had a TT and it broke after a few uses. My hair is really thin so I used your idea but with wire you would use to hang a picture with. It is wonderful. It doesn't catch on my hair and is bendy which is a nice feature. I love your website!
Gotta tell ya…I got the 'need for one' after reading your blog about a year ago. I MADE ONE WITH A PIPE CLEANER….works wonferfully! and much easier than working with a hanger!
I love this! thank you. I will be making one soon. I have a weird question. Why was your husband wearing his wedding ring on the wrong hand?
This is so great idea! I was trying to find topsy tail, but Japan doesn't have that- even Amazon.jp! I will make it right away and try your tutorials that use topsy tail. Thank you so much! Also, I am always looking forward to seeing your blog from Japan!
A absolutely nice tips and tricks.
Useful suggestions.
Thanks I made one and it works perfectly. B.T.W. Do not try to make one out of a Chenile Stem
I had one of these when I was a growing up and unfortunately I managed to break it. I have been contemplating buy one for my little girl, but this is a much better option. Thank you for the tip.
Just use a zip tie and a little glue. Takes a few seconds to make and wont break.
Awesome!!! Thanks for this DIY version. I love your blog!!! All your tutorials helps me do my daughter's hair so much easier and fun!!!
Thank you so much for showing me how to make a topsy tail. The demo was fantastic and having such sharing people like your family is great! Keep up the great work.
After watching your ingenious homemade idea, I thought about what one could make it out of that might be a bit more flexible than hanger wire, more like the plastic of the original Topsy Tail. I, too, thought a zip tie would be perfect, but didn't have one on hand, so I went to the garage and found that .080 weed trimmer line had the flexibility I wanted. I taped the ends together just like you showed in your video, which made that part stiff like it needs to be, and then put one of those little rubber caps that you sometimes find on metal hanger tips on the end. Both tips of of weed trimmer line fit into just one little rubber hanger cap. These little caps are also found on the tips of the wires that are inside of kites sometimes. That way, it won't snag on my daughter's hair at all when I push it through the pony tail. I never would have even thought of any of this without your helpful video. Thank you for sharing all of you ideas with such unselfishness and humility!
Another thing I found that works and is more flexible is coated wire for hanging photos ($1.19 at Wal-Mart). I may try to make a mini one with a small zip-tie though! Thanks!
Your blog is sooooooo cool iv tried many hairstyles and they look sooooo coool
I made a blue one!!:):) I had a topsy tail already but It didn't work on big pony tails. This is an awesome idea! Thankyou.
Your husband says "ten" in such a funny way!!!
Wow!! I wish I had a sister to play and fix her hair. I love fixing my hair and I'm just 8!

Could we not use a wire? I don't have that thing to cut the wire
Oh my gosh! I made a Topsy Tail with just clear tape instead of electrical tape (because I didn't have any) and it worked perfectly! I can do flips on myself! Thank you so much! Your website AND hairstyles are AMAZING! Thanks!!!
I loved your idea for making a Topsy Tail tool, however, I didn't have a wire coat hanger. So, I improvised with a wire fly swatter. After the swatter part broke off I kept the handle, just in case. Well, I cut off the end, taped it up and YES, it worked….
Thank you for this tip… I have been trying to flip my daughters hair with out one and it is a pain!!!
Just discovered your site and just discovered I CAN style my daughter's hair (you get most of the credit for that). Thank you! My husband watched your husband's video and just made us one of these and I'm sporting a flip. Thank you for making this so easy!
topsy tail tools are very easy to find here in the philippines..my mom always use that on my hair but it always break..good thing i could make my own..thanks a ton mrs.mindy ;D
i'll ask my mom to help me with this one haha XD
Thanks I have been looking for a topsy tail for awhile I just made one I can't wait to use it. I also found one on ebay for $1.59 with free shipping! I ordered one I am gonna see which one I like best.
I can't wait to try this:) Thank you so much for putting this out there so we can make it ourselves.
What a great idea! Thank you! This inspired me to use an elongated bubble blower that are at Walmart for $1. It comes in a long tube of bubbles. I broke off the plastic bubble wand from the handle and it works like a charm!!!
Your hubby is SEXY!
Make one out of pipe cleaners!
its much easier and you can just bye a bag of pipe cleaners for like a $1 and then make lots of different sizes with that bag!plus, your daughter can choose pretty colors!
awsome! I am amazed! I was still sceptical even after the video. So, I found a wire coat hanger and made one, tried it!
also, if you make a pipe cleaner one, and find it hard to slide it through hair easily, you can bye a bright roll of duck tape( for about $1 and you can use it for soooooo many other things) and make a new one bywraping thepipecleaner in duct tape so that its smooth! works like a charm!!
u ucan use a pipecleaner the same way as the wire is used in the video
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I could not think of the name of the product I had back in the early 90′s! And, this worked GREAT!!! Thank you for sparing me the expense of buying one! It works perfectly! Now, my 14 year old daughter wants to use it!!
In a pinch I raid our craft box and make a topsy tail with a pipe cleaner! They don't last forever but I can use them on big or little ponys.
I showed my husband your "how to make a topsy tail" and he went to the garage and grabbed some coated electrical wire (thin), electrical tape, and wire cutters. A few minutes and I have a topsy tail =)
Thank You So Much! The plastic ponyflip I'd been using for years cracked and was pulling my hair out when I used it. I couldn't find one to buy on amazon. I found your sight on how to make one. Thank you again! This is one of my favorite hairstyles even though I am in my 50′s !
I tried making this, and while it worked great for the flipped ponytails, the coat hanger doesn't bend enough for wrapped ponytails. It pulls the ponytail apart.
Oh my goodness. I will never forget my experience with the Topsy Tail in 7th grade. I saw the commercial and loved it instantly but my mom wouldn't buy it. So I decided to make my own from a rubber band and a twisted length of florist wire. Let's just say that I had to have a sizable chunk of hair cut off after getting it stuck in my hair so badly. Fun stuff!
hey Mindy,
if you want a good topsy tail go on con airs website and look up topsy tail it is the real one very sturdy.
For those of you with babies and toddlers with super-fine hair, the loop-tools for flossing with braces work great. Walmarts near my house don't seem to sell these any longer, but the drug stores still sell them with the other braces and flossing tools.
