Winner of the Pritzker Prize for Architecture 2009, Swiss architect Peter Zumthor is considered to be one of the most extraordinary and controversial architects working today. In Thinking Architecture, Peter Zumthor articulates what motivates him to design his buildings, which appeal to the visitor's heart and mind in so many different ways and possess a compelling and unmistakable presence and aura. Now in its third edition, this book has been expanded to include two new essays: "Architecture and Landscape" deals with the relationship between the structure and its surroundings, with the secret of the successful placement and topographical integration of architecture. In "The Leis Houses" Peter Zumthor describes the genesis of two wooden houses in the town of Leis in the Swiss canton of Graubunden, thus thematizing the special challenge of integrating contemporary architecture into a traditional architectural context.

Baseball out lasts Florida A&M, 5-3
April 1, 2008
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Freshman right fielder Chris Connelly went 2-for-4 with two RBI while the Dolphin pitching staff got out of some tight jams to lead the JU baseball team to a 5-3 victory over Florida A&M on Tuesday night at John Sessions Stadium.
The Dolphins (16-10) snapped a two-game slide behind a strong pitching performance senior Matt Davis, who was making his third start of the season. The Rattlers (6-14) out hit the Dolphins, 10-9, but left nine runners on base including a base-loaded situation in the fifth and two other innings with runners in scoring position.
"We were fortunate tonight," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "There were several situations that could have gone differently and made for a different outcome. I'm glad we found a way to win, but we are going to have to be much better tomorrow against Florida State."
Freshman Matt Loosen (4-0) secured the win for JU in relief after allowing one unearned run on a hit and fanning three batters. Sophomore Glenn Witkowski also had an unearned run in two innings of relief, while Davis allowed one run on six hits and struck out four in five innings of work to get the no-decision.
Florida A&M reliever Juilan Bailey (1-2) was tagged with the loss, giving up two runs on five hits in 2.1 innings. Drew Cook took the no-decision after surrendering three runs (one earned) on four hits and six walks in 5.2 innings.
Along with Connelly, sophomore Alex Martinez also had two hits on the evening, while freshman Glen Johnson added a double and the go-head RBI hit in the eighth inning. Senior center fielder Kevin Ferreira's career-best 19-game hitting streak came to an end after he finished 0-for-4 with a walk.
Steve Cunningham led FAMU's offense after finishing 2-for-4 with a RBI and two runs scored. Jared Jefferies, Tim Schalch and Chris Justin also finished with multiple hits.
The Dolphins scratched across a run in the first inning to take a 1-0 lead when Schalch bobbled a ground ball by Connelly allowing Jeremy Gillan to score.
In the third inning, Cunningham reached second to start things off after Glen Johnson fielded a hard hit grounder but overthrew first base when he gathered himself. Justin followed with a single to left field to score Cunningham and even the game at one apiece.
Johnson made up for his throwing mistake in the fifth inning with a two-out double to right field for the Dolphins. Connelly plated Johnson on the next at-bat with a single to left field to the Dolphins a 2-1 advantage.
The Dolphins made it 3-1 in the sixth inning when Martinez scored on an errant throw on a pickoff attempt at third by Justin.
The Rattlers cut the deficit to a run in the seventh inning after Jared Jefferies drove home Cunningham on a two-out single to left field off Witkowski. Schalch followed with single to move Jefferies and continue the rally.
Corey McFadden laced a single to center in the next at bat, but Ferreira threw out Schlach at third before Jefferies could score to tie game and quash the Florida A&M rally.
Florida A&M first baseman Tim Jones was hit by a pitch by Loosen, while Daryl Evans reached in the next at-bat on Johnson's second error of the game to start the eighth inning. After a fielder's choice put runners on the corners, Loosen struck Thaddous McBurrows to put two away in the inning. Unfortunately, Cunningham drove a ball through the right side to plate Jones and tie the game at three all.
The Dolphins put together three consecutive singles after a lead off fly out to load the bases in the bottom of the eighth inning. Johnson plated Kyle Fleming in the next at-bat with a sacrifice fly to left field to give JU a 4-3 lead. Connelly followed with a single through the left side to score Gillan and give JU a two-run cushion.
After running into trouble in the eighth inning, Loosen retired the side in the ninth inning to secure the victory for the Dolphins.
The Dolphins continue their home stand tomorrow as they take No. 2 Florida State beginning at 6 p.m. Fans can hear the game locally on ESPN 1460 starting at 5:45 p.m. with the Bono's pregame show or watch it live online on ASun.TV through JUDolphins.com. Fans can also follow the stats online with gametracker on judolphins.com as well.

Genoa, Italy
A city of art, the capital of Liguria in northern Italy and metropolis looking onto the sea, Genoa has grown up around the city's port - a natural cove that has always been the site of thriving traffic and commerce. Its ancient heart, Europe's biggest historic medieval center, is crisscrossed by a tight weave of alleys that capture the multicultural soul that has always characterized the city's history. Here, among workshops, eateries, and beautiful shops, glimmers a glimpse of the noble past of Genoa, "La Superba", consisting of sixteenth-century villas, Baroque votive aedicules, and prestigious churches giving onto small squares nestled between the buildings.
Modernity is a few steps away, in places returned to the people and tourists by restoration and great urban renewal projects conducted over the last decade. Genoa offers a dizzying mix of the old and the new.
The Expo with the Aquarium, Via San Lorenzo, the Palazzo Ducale, and the splendid Via Garibaldi full of museums. The city's charm can also be found in the numerous delegations from Nervi to Voltri - autonomous cities until the 20's - where visitors can explore villas surrounded by nineteenth-century parks, picturesque sea strolls, and museums large and small.

FGCU Falls Short at Lipscomb, 89-79
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Despite connecting on 17 of their first 20 shots, the FGCU men's basketball team fell to A-Sun foe Lipscomb, 89-79 on Monday night at the Allen Arena in Nashville, Tenn. Lipscomb used a 12-2 run late in the first half to take a 46-41lead into the half, a lead they did not relinquish. A total of nine players recorded double-figures in the game.
With the loss, FGCU falls to 5-8 overall (2-2 A-Sun) while the Bison's improve to 6-7 overall (3-1 A-Sun).
"I thought we played well offensively," said FGCU head coach Dave Balza."To score 79 points and lose is testament to how well Lipscomb played tonight. Even though we shut them down inside, they made 15 3-pointers, that's way they're the best offensive team in the league. "
Four Eagles registered double-digit in points with junior guard Reed Baker (Naples, Fla.) leading the way with 17. Baker shot 5-of-11, including 2-of-5 from behind the arc. Baker has led FGCU in scoring in five of their last seven games, and has put up double-figures in the Eagles last seven contests. Freshman Anthony Banks (Lantana, Fla.) registered 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting (1-of-2 from the charity stripe). Senior's Kyle Marks (West Palm Beach, Fla.) and Derrick O'Neil (Moreno Valley, Calif.) also added double-figures with 12 and 11 points respectively. O'Neil also grabbed a team-high seven rebounds.
The Bisons placed five players in double-figures, three scoring 20 points or more. Jordan Burgason scored 22 points, Johnny Lee added a career-high 22 and Brandon Brown finished with 20. Junior center Adnan Hodzic finished with 10 points, extending his nation-leading double-figure streak to 40 games. Josh Slater also added 10.
In the first half, FGCU dominated the paint, scoring 26 points and opened up a nine point lead midway through the first half. Chambers hit a 3-pointer to give FGCU the 32-23 lead with 10:25 left before the break. The Eagles offense connected on 17 of their first 20 shots with O'Neil scoring six of his 11 points in the first two minutes of the contest.
From that point the Bisons went on a 20-7 run. They led for the first time at 2:09, 40-39. The run for the Bisons started with a free throw by Brown and ended with a 3-pointer by Burgason at 1:09. The Bisons went into the dressing room with a 46-41 lead.
In the second half, the Bisons opened up a nine-point lead, 52-43 as Burgason sank his second 3-pointer of the second half at 18:26.
The Eagles fought back and cut the Bisons lead down to three, 62-59, on a 3-point shot by Baker with 12:53 remaining. That would be the closest FGCU would get to the Bisons in the final 20 minutes.
With 8:52 left to play Lee dropped in a pair of free throws to give the Bisons the 71-61 lead, the biggest advantage by the Bisons at that point. Slater scored inside at 3:32 to give the Bisons a 77-70 lead. Slater was fouled on the play and sank the free throw. His points ended a three-minute scoring drought by the Bisons.
Lipscomb hit a 3-point shot with 2:20 on the clock to give the Bisons an 82-72 lead and they never looked back.
Both teams shot more than 50 percent from the field. FGCU hit 53 percent (32-60) and Lipscomb connected on 51 percent (25-49) of their shots. Despite FGCU outrebounding Lipscomb by a 34-26 margin, the Bison held the advantage in the 3-point category, draining 15 3-pointers to FGCU's six.
The Eagles land back at home on Friday, Jan. 8 against North Florida in the A-Sun Game of the Week on Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS: Comcast channel 70). The game can also been seen on ESPN360.com, and is available free of charge to all students who get their high-speed Internet access through the on-campus network, to anyone getting their high-speed Internet through one of ESPN's affiliated ISPs, and to U.S.-based military personnel who access the Internet via on-base servers. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:05 p.m., for ticket information call the Alico Arena Box Office at (239) 590-7145 or visit www. FGCUathletics.com.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
The Eddie Bauer Adventurer Travel System includes a full-featured stroller and an infant car seat with a base that most users say is durable and easy to use. Parents appreciate the extra convenience features, including a one-handed standing fold, a large under-seat basket and a parent console. As with most travel systems, there are complaints about the stroller's maneuverability and overall bulk.
A sturdy stroller with necessary safety features. According to trusted product testers, the Eddie Bauer Adventurer Travel System performs well on safety tests that include stability and compliance with American Society for Testing and Materials safety standards. Both trained experts and parents describe the stroller as sturdy. The stroller has rear-wheel brakes that lock independently, and the front swivel wheels lock in the forward-facing position when greater stability is required. There is a five-point safety harness. Users say the infant car seat is well padded.
Mixed reports on overall usability. Parents say that the Eddie Bauer Adventurer Travel System is very easy to set up out of the box. The majority also say that it is simple to fold the stroller one-handed, although some say that the fold mechanism can get sticky over time. Because the stroller is on the bulky side, parents say it can be cumbersome to carry.
One trusted review source says that the Adventurer stroller offers excellent performance in maneuverability testing, but other product testers and users don't agree. Some say that it is difficult to maneuver the stroller through twists and turns, and that it is hard to push the stroller over grass, gravel and other uneven terrain. Parents say the padded handlebar is comfortable to push.
Other mechanisms on the stroller get mixed reviews. Some owners say the recline adjustment strap is hard to use; others disagree. Parents say the brakes are easy to lock and unlock, although they are not linked, which requires an extra step. In order to attach the car seat to the stroller, you must take an attachment bar stored on the under-seat basket and attach it to the stroller seat. The car seat then clicks into place. Some users say the car seat is easy to install and remove; others wish the extra attachment bar wasn't required. A couple of parents also say that the car-seat handle makes a loud popping sound when it locks into the open position and can wake or startle the baby. Parents also describe the car seat as bulky and heavy, and some say it is difficult to lock and unlock the car seat to its base in the car.
Not the best for larger infants. The Eddie Bauer Adventurer Travel System stroller carries children of up to 50 pounds, but it does not offer a full recline, so is not the best choice in general for very young babies, especially since the car seat only carries babies up to 22 pounds. The car seat itself, the Cosco Designer 22 infant seat, is not as highly rated by consumers as other infant car seats. One respected product review source advises taking a pass on this system and buying a better car seat. According to the manufacturer, the Designer 22 is slated to be discontinued when current stock is sold out.
Most parents love the look of the system, and say that the car seat and stroller are comfortable and well padded. The Adventurer Travel System is also sold as the Adventurer Sport System with no substantive differences beyond fabric choices, which generally add a few dollars to the overall price.
The stroller has nice storage features, including a roomy and accessible under-seat basket, a parent console with two deep cupholders and a secure compartment, and snack tray with a cupholder for the child. While most users acknowledge that the stroller is bulky when folded, parents like that it stands independently for easier storage. Eddie Bauer instructs parents to wipe the stroller fabric and frame clean with soapy water. However, some parents wish they could remove the fabric for more thorough washing.
One-year warranty. The Eddie Bauer Adventurer Travel System carries a one-year warranty against manufacturer's defects. Eddie Bauer is a division of the Dorel Juvenile Products Group, which in general is reported to have good customer service.

Senior talent on display
From behind a sparkling silver curtain June 30 emerged Eileen Grant in a red jacket and black fedora, her left hand gloved in silver, dancing and swinging her hips to Michael Jackson's "Bad," while fellow residents of the Emeritus at Deep Run retirement home and community members laughed and clapped.
Grant and other residents, volunteers and community members were participating in the first national Bring Your Talent contest, hosted by Emeritus Senior Living and part of elder care expert Dr. Marion Somers' tour with the 3in4 Association, a non-profit organization working to increase awareness about the planning for long-term care. The 50 city tour will end July 25 in Phoenix, A.Z. and the contest winner will be chosen from all the video submissions and taped tour stops by Aug. 13. The winner could receive a year of free rent or one of 11 week-long stays at an Emeritus community.
Grant was born in 1928 in Brooklyn, N.Y. as Eileen O'Connor, the third-oldest of 10 children in an Irish family. During World War II she traveled with other dancers and comedians and pros such as Mel Brooks and Eddie Fisher entertaining the troops.
"I loved it. I was doing it from the time I was this high," Grant said, lowering her hand toward the floor. "If you're a performer, you're born a performer."
Grant's daughter, Shelley Damion, who attended the show last week but sat on the side so as to not to be a distraction, said she hoped her mother would win.
"She's always been the most entertaining, even at parties," Damion said. "She choreographed my high school production of 'Bye Bye Birdie.' I think it was the best one we had ... I wasn't in it."
Every Friday, Grant, who is a memory care patient, practices ballroom dancing with instructor Phyllis Harris, who helped co-choreograph her dance.
"It's really exciting to see them come out of their shells," Harris said. "It's hard to watch them get older. . . She comes down when she feels like it."
Harris was supposed to perform with Grant the day of the show, but because other entries dropped out, Grant had to perform before Harris had arrived. Filling in for Harris was Nick Nevi, the life enrichment assistant at Emeritus, and one of Grant's biggest fans.
"She's got spunk," he said the day before the contest. "She's very talented. She's my hopeful. I know she could really knock the house down. . . She deserves one year rent free."
Nevi said he hoped that if she didn't win, that one of the other Deep Run residents would.
"When our residents do what they love it, rejuvenates them," he said. "I really admire our residents for doing this."
The Thursday before the contest, Harris and Nevi made a video music video of Grant's performance in case she got nervous the day of or resisted because of her memory.
Private duty caregiver Demetra White said she had seen the end of the videotaping.
"When I saw her get up and these moves, she seemed so much younger, " White said. "My mouth was just open. If she doesn't win, I'll be surprised."
During the practice, Grant pulled White onto the dance floor despite White's protests. By then, Grant had kicked off her shoes and was dancing barefoot with free-style moves, something White said Grant usually did.
Old photos of Grant dancing and acting in the 1940s lined the walls of the dining room, where the stage was set for the performance on Saturday. In one or two, Grant's bare feet could be seen. Grant said she had learned to dance after attending dances with soldiers on Governors Island, where her older sister had a job.
"It was the kind of music where we'd go dancing and the gentleman would swing me over his head, around his back and between his legs," she said. "I was young and had a wonderful time. . . It's been a lot of years, but I had a wonderful life. I loved the life I lived. Isn't that a song?"
In her opening speech Saturday, Somers introduced herself as a girl from a rough neighborhood in East Harlem, N.Y., who grew up in a five-story walk-up filled with seniors. Somers said that there was always something to learn from her elders, especially how to live.
"You don't get to be 80, 90, or 100 years old without knowing how to live," she said.
On a trip to China, Somers met a 104-year-old woman who she asked to share with her one thing she'd learned. The woman responded, "Don't let the bastards get you down."
"I asked the interpreter what she meant," Somers said. "What she meant was, your husbands and kids are going to do what they're going to do, just do what you can do."
Having a balanced and steady approach to addressing long-term care is key, as it is to addressing life, she said.
"I like to say that I have been blessed living with seniors," Somers said. "I live a very blessed life because I've learned not to get obsessed about the nonsense stuff, and when you think about it, most of it is nonsense."
Somers went on to emphasize that everyone is a caregiver at some time in his or her life, whether it is for a little sister or for parents.
"Three in four Americans will need long-term care at sometime in their lives, and we are not ready," Somers said.
Sixteen percent of caregivers die before those for whom they are caring, she said, emphasizing the importance of being organized during the caregiving process. She went through an A-Z list of quick things for care givers to remember; among them: "Trust the elder you're caring for, and trust your basic caregiving instincts," and "Understand that being a caregiver requires patience."
"Talking about elderly care is not a sexy subject, so to remind people is necessary," she said. "Nobody wants to talk about aging or maybe being infirm. It's always over there, another person, but that other person could be you."

dark...i appreciate your comments and perspective.
Here are mine... I'm feeling pretty good about the AF now, but in my first couple shoots trying different AF settings I, like you, was a little disappointed. But after spending some time playing around with AF settings I've come to a point where I think the AF is great...maybe not excellent, but great.
I've added a couple shots where the AF was challenged...I shot both of these images w/ the 70-200 ii with 2xiii (which obviously slows down AF speed)
the ducks were really flying fast as they were flying downwind
the trumpeter swans were moving quickly and a bit erratic (they were fighting)
both groups of birds were about 150 feet away - I think the autofocus nailed these shots
Really nice shots! Could you please share what your AF settings were e.g. Case 1 through 5 in the AF menu and if you did any further adjustments after selecting a Case.
Dark...my AF settings for now: (a work in progress as most of us 5d3 shooters know)
1. I'm mainly using case 1 and 2 right now. I find simple is better, with time I'll experiment with the others.
2. I'm shooting manual, with single point AF point expansion. Center single focus point and the 8 surrounding points..and I believe 5 of those 9 points are the dual cross type af points.
3. I've selected -ONLY use cross type af points
4. In AI servo I'm using the EQUAL PRIORITY for 1st and 2nd image. (still experimenting here)
5. NEVER using AI FOCUS...either one shot or ai servo
6. I set up my dof button to allow me to switch between one shot and ai servo just by pressing the dof.
hope this helps...and good luck.
oh...just because I love to show off the pooch...another AF example
Pooch is moving very quickly/erratically trying to catch that bouncing ball...it's very cloudy, dark clouds. I shot a burst of about 8 images and all are focused about this good...this was a very casual spur of the moment shot taken w/o much thought,(underexposed, iso too low, shutter speed too low) So I think the AF was challenged here and it came through pretty good.

Contemporary African Literature: Binyavanga Waina
In the last two days, we've showcased some historical heavyweights in the world of African writers. Today and tomorrow we'll be reviewing the novels of contemporary and emerging African authors. The first will be Kenyan writer and journalist, Binyavanga Wainaina and his debut novel One Day I will Write about this Place. In July 2002 Wainaina won the Caine Prize for African Writing for his short story "Discovering Home". In 2005, Granta Magazine published Wainaina's essay How to Write about Africa. In this he challenges and mocks the 'stale, exoticized white representations of Africa'. This idea runs through into his debut novel, which offers a fresh first person perspective of life growing up in Kenya.
Since being published, One Day has come out to a host of acclaim including winning BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week. It is a world away from some other Kenyan novels which mainly explore themes of corrupt governance and European colonialism. One Day is a heartfelt account of a young boy's experiences coming of age in Nakuru, Kenya. We are greeted by an insightful, book-loving young Wainaina as he seeks to achieve his ambitions to become a writer. The novel also has some playful references to the influence of Western popular culture during the 80's 90's. We see him through his failed attempt to study in South Africa as a computer programmer, and his travels around Kenya. Perhaps the most endearing part of the novel is when he is awarded a writing prize. We are then shown how this opens the door for him to pursue his dream career. One Day is a refreshing debut novel that can stand on its own given the powerful and prominent writers Kenya has produced. Wainaina uses evocative and poignant language to craft a new image of Africa, while avoiding tired stereotypes. It is an honest, touching and relatable account of young adulthood.

(ABC) - An Indio gas station owner is counting his losses after thieves yanked an ATM out of his store early Monday morning.
At least one man is on the run.
And, the owner is hoping surveillance video will help catch the people who did it.
This surveillance video shows a masked man breaking into a Shell Station in Indio, early Monday morning.
Once inside, he ties a tow rope to an ATM machine, then a vehicle outside yanks it out of the store, leaving a mess behind. The owner did not want to show his face, but did want to show his frustration. The whole burglary
only took a few minutes. The thieves worked
quickly and with a clear purpose.
The planned nature of the crime concerns the owner the most. The loss of the ATM is going to take a big toll on the owners pocket.
While he lost a lot in the burglary, the owners' investment in surveillance cameras proved invaluable.
The owner has offered a $1,000 reward for tips that lead to the arrest of the thieves.

How to recycle your phone for cash
Six tips to know before converting your old electronics into cash.
So you're getting a new cell phone, huh? Terrific. In that case, you may want to offload your old phone to make way for the new, and chances are good you'll be able to recoup at least some of the cost by selling or trading in what came before.
And yes, you owners of ancient, cracked, and broken devices that won't even turn on, this promise of recompense includes you. In this article, I list some practical tips about the different ways you can convert your phone into at least a little bit of cash. (Psst, some pointers apply to big-ticket electronics, too, like digital cameras and laptops.)
Don't count on financing a Hawaiian vacation for your efforts, but depending on how much you hoard or how savvy you sell, the dollars could really add up.
How much can you get?
Before I lay out the tips, let me answer what what is probably your most burning question: How much money you'll get for a phone.
The final sum depends on the type of phone you have, how new or old it is, the kind of condition it's in, and how and where you plan to sell it. New, premium smartphones in good working order, with the original packaging, could sell for around $350, or maybe even more if you sell it directly to a buyer through Craigslist or eBay.
Yet even your old broken flip-phone can get you at least a dollar if you take it to the right spot, so you won't wind up completely empty-handed, particularly if you have a whole stash of them. Your other handsets will fall somewhere in between. Not that unlocked phones are typically worth more than those tied to a specific carrier.
1. Raid the closet
You may know exactly which phone you want to sell and replace with the next hot thing, but it's worth checking for other discards as well. When's the last time you slid open desk drawers or checked under the bed? You may have at least one ancient flip-phone hiding out in a closet somewhere that you've been saving for a rainy day that never came.
Holding onto a phone you're no longer planning to use makes good sense. You never know when you or a family member or friend will need a spare, but at some point, it'll be time to let go. When you add up the old cell phones, cameras, and laptops you have at home, you might find a nice little stash to sell.
2. It's broken? Don't stress
How much money would you expect to get for a cruddy old handset with chipping paint? Or for an iPhone with a cracked screen? For most Web sites and trade-in programs, the answer is a big, fat zero. However, if you're smart and don't mind a little driving, you're almost guaranteed to get at least a little pocket change through one vendor.
EcoATM is a physical kiosk where you can sell your cell phones, and soon your tablets (this is in trial). There are currently 800 units in malls across America, with outlets continuing to mushroom.
In a nutshell, EcoATM scans your phone and compares it with a database to make an offer based on the phone's market value and current condition. If you accept -- and yes, you can also decline -- the machine spits out money on the spot.
It does require a driver's license and a thumbprint scan to use, and it also takes a picture of you as well for security measures, to help guard against theft and fraud.
Using the EcoATM does require you to trudge all the way over to the mall to use, but it's often the only option that will pay for your very old or broken phones.
3. Shop around. Really
EcoATM is a terrific resource, but it isn't the only one. In fact, the electronics resale space is positively packed. Big-box retailers like Best Buy, RadioShack, Amazon, and GameStop have all launched buy-back programs, and many major carriers have also launched trade-in programs of their own.
Unfortunately for the lazy seller (me), no single service is more reliable or offers a better deal than all the others. Plain and simple, you just have to shop around. EcoATM may be the only game in town for older phones, but it won't necessarily offer you the best price across the board.
It's worth mentioning again that prices vary by condition and by demand -- you'll get less for a handset with water damage, and more if it's a flawless phone right out of the box. Expect to take home a larger amount for newer phones than for older ones.
To illustrate the fluctuations, I checked the price of four phones on five different services: a flawless and broken iPhone 5 (16GB) , a Samsung Galaxy S3 (16GB), and a third-edition Motorola Razr. In all cases but one, I listed the phones in flawless condition; that is, like new. The second iPhone 5 I listed as broken. When asked, I chose AT&T as the common carrier for the iPhones and Verizon for the Galaxy S3.

Not every service takes every phone. Gazelle.com, for instance, focuses on Apple products, but has expanded to include other phones. Still, you'll find a more limited array of what's accepted; Gazelle sticks to newer models. Amazon doesn't have offers up yet for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 , for instance, presumably because the phone is still new enough that their customers aren't trying to offload it.
If you're planning to sell a bundle of phones and you don't mind putting in the research time, check three or four online spots before hitting an EcoATM, your carrier, or another brick-and-mortar store. Armed with comparison pricing, you'll be able to decide on the spot whether to take the offer in person or take the digital sale. (I've never tried negotiating with a brick-and-mortar against online pricing, but if you have, let me know how that goes.)
One Web site, Sell My Cell Phones, promises to compare top online sellers for you, and is a fair place to start if you're short on time, though it doesn't include carrier trade-in offers or EcoATM, and it didn't seem to actually scour the full range of resellers when I searched for top phones like the 16GB iPhone 5.
Craigslist and eBay are two other great options for selling electronics to strangers, though this method requires more effort on your end to manage in-person meetups or shipping yourself.
4. Know how you're getting paid
Before you sell a phone or any electronic device, consider how you want to receive the funds. Several online vendors may offer you a check, a cash card, or an infusion to your PayPal account. Retailers like Best Buy will more commonly hand you an in-store gift card, or cash if you have a receipt proving you bought the item there to begin with.
Cell phone carriers apply the value of your trade-in to your next phone, or might assign you credit. EcoATM deals only in cash that, fittingly, is stored inside the locked-down machine, ATM-style.
One important thing to keep in mind: if you opt for an online vendor, you'll have to wait a few weeks to get paid. After you box up the goods and ship them, employees will match the device to its actual condition, to keep any fibbers honest. Only then will they authorize your payment.
5. Never throw old phones away
In the event that you have electronics that nobody else will pay you for, take the high road and recycle. Almost every reseller that takes phones will do it for you, archaic chargers and all.
The benefits of donating old phones are threefold: it clears old gadgets out of your home, it could improve someone else's life, and you won't be directly responsible for throwing toxic chemicals into the dump.

6. Plan ahead
The cell phone's lifespan is typically much shorter than any other category of consumer electronics. Most of us ditch our phones after 18 months, which means that there's plenty of time to plan how you'll keep or dispose of your future phones.
Resellers -- the guys who initially buy your phones from you before selling whole items or parts to someone else -- see a boom right around the winter holidays. If you opt to sell a lot of used electronics online, timing the eventual receipt of your payment with an extra-large bill or purchase could work out in your favor.

Team USA avoided near disaster with a number of turnovers in their own zone, when a loose puck sneaked past a scrambling Ryan Miller and into the open crease. Yet Switzerland wasn't able to take advantage as the US defenders swept the puck out of the slot and away from danger.
Just a minute later, Bobby Ryan jumped on turnover in the top of the slot and slammed a hard shot past Jonas Hiller.
It was a big goal in the final minutes of the first period, that validated some strong and speedy play without anything to show for it earlier in the period.

Coffee Oil is notable for its FA profile and is a good source of flavenoids. It's known as an anti-inflammatory. It has good skin-softening properties, but I found it is a bit sticky and increases drag in a topical formulation.

56 UpSeries Website »
Episode Guide »
In 1964, a group of British seven-year-olds were interviewed about their lives and dreams in a groundbreaking television documentary, "Seven Up." Since then, in one of the greatest projects in television history, renowned director Michael Apted has returned to film the same subjects every seven years, tracking their ups and downs. POV, which presented the U.S. broadcast premiere of "49 Up" in 2007, returns with "56 Up" to find the group settling into middle age and surprisingly upbeat. Through marriage and childbirth, poverty and illness, the "kids" have come to terms with both hope and disappointment.

Complaints about public administration? Contact the National Ombudsman
Public administration is here to serve all citizens of the Netherlands. One of its tasks is to make sure that legislation, regulations and administrative procedures are correctly implemented and applied. When this is not properly managed however, conflicts may arise between you and the public administration. If this happens, you have the right to seek help (free of charge) from the National Ombudsman.
The National Ombudsman is independent and impartial and he is there to defend your interests. He also keeps a critical eye on government. After Mr Alex Brenninkmeijer left the institute at the end of 2013, the Dutch Parliament is looking for a new National Ombudsman. Until that time, Mr Frank van Dooren, is acting National Ombudsman. He has 170 support workers to help him do the job. There are two deputy ombudsmen: Mrs Adriana Stehouwer and Mr Marc Dullaert (children's ombudsman).
The National Ombudsman of the Netherlands also has the authority to handle complaints about all administrative agencies on the islands of Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba. Administrative agencies include organizations such as the tax department, the Public Prosecution Service, the police, and the population affairs department or Burgerzaken.

Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy Review (3DS)
Completing Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy is a bittersweet experience. On one hand, it's a pleasure to come back to the Layton gameplay that we all know and love. On the other hand, it's the last time we will be doing so. This is, essentially, the end to the Layton series; a swan song for everyone's favorite top-hatted sleuth. The game is perfectly crafted to push you closer to the end, and with it the answer to a mystery that has been built up over the last three titles. You'll happily gobble up puzzle after puzzle, but as you fill out Layton's suitcase and slowly uncover all the answers the game has to offer, you can't help but be filled with an emptiness as you realize, this is really it.

Brocade also used open APIs to integrate the management software with partner products, such as VMware vCenter, Microsoft System Center Operations Manager, IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center, and IBM Systems Director.
"All switches share a common configuration database through a distributed mechanism to enable things like automated migration of port profiles, Nilaver said. The new application can manage virtual machines even when they're moved from one network to another because the network profile associated with the server also moves with it, he said.
Brocade Network Advisor is expected to be available in mid-November and is a seamless upgrade from existing Brocade management software, the company said. Brocade will also provide migration guides, training material and educational courses to help ensure a smooth transition to the new product.
While pricing hasn't been officially announced, Nilaver said it will be similar to that for Data Center Fabric Manager, which comes as a free product at the entry level, costs $16,000 for the midrange Professional Plus product and lists for $38,000 for enterprise-class deployments.
"We'll maintain similar pricing for the IP side [INM] as well. And for customers that want to buy IP and [Fibre Channel] together, obviously we'll give them pricing discounts," he said.
IDC analyst Laura DeBois said Brocade's offering is different from those of Brocade competitors, such as Cisco Systems.
While Cisco has a number of network management products, such as its LAN Management Solution and Data Center Network Manager, that offer functionality similar to Brocade Network Advisor, Brocade's model of unified management is an advantage and it will have an impact on the trend toward converged IT products, DeBois said.
"Think about who Brocade customers are -- [equipment manufacturers] like EMC, HP, and IBM. These guys all want a unified network management component to offer to their customers, as there continues to be convergence of different protocols over a single wire," she wrote in an e-mail response to a Computerworld query. "And unified network management fits nicely with strategies these larger infrastructure suppliers have around automated IT service management/automated DC operations -- with network management being a piece of that."
DeBois added that there's still a long way to go in terms of converged data center management, but she said Brocade's new product is relevant to a larger developing trend.

West Virginia
hosted a talented cornerback on Sunday as its weekend of football camps wrapped
up at Milan Puskar Stadium.
Unlike many of
the athletes in attendance, this one had already committed to a school – and that
school is not WVU.
Evrett Edwards, a
5-foot-11, 175-pound cornerback out of Woodbridge, Va., is currently listed as
a commit at Duke University. He pledged with the Blue Devils back in March, but
made it clear to them that he intended to continue with his plan to run through
the camp circuit in the summer.
"I can be one of
the best in Virginia, but that doesn't mean I'm one of the best in the nation,"
says Edwards. "I go around to these schools so I can compete with different
athletes. I think it's actually a lot easier for me to compete with the kids
from across the country."
He says the
reason it can seem easier is because he studies the game and what he sees on
film so much that he can rely on natural instinct rather than playing based on
tendencies when facing the same players in the Virginia area.
Edwards' parents
grew up in south Louisiana before moving to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where Edwards
was born and where football was a way of life.
His mother says,
without a hint of a smile, that she shuts everything down and doesn't answer
the phone on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays during the fall. Those
are football days, and she won't be interrupted while any games are on.
Yet, when Edwards
began showing real interest in the game his parents loved, they would not let
him play. He had to show that he was ready, and their approach to making him
ready was not to simply throw him out on a field and let him grow from
"They told me if
I want this to be my craft, I have to perfect it," he says. "We'll sit down and
dissect film together. We pull out an iPad and put it right next to the TV so
we can look at different angles of what the receiver is doing. Then we'll go
outside and I have a position trainer and we'll apply what we learned from
video to actual field work."
Edwards says that
by seventh grade, he knew exactly what the BCS was and could name each
conference that comprised its automatic qualifiers. He knew more about the
sport than many of his friends who went out and played it just about everyday
and finally, when he entered high school, he got to join them.
After three years
on the field at Woodbridge High School, Edwards is rated as a 3-star defender
getting looks from quality collegiate programs, including WVU. When he goes to
camps outside of his comfort zone, he finds that he takes on the competition as
well or better than he does at his own high school.
On Sunday,
Edwards rolled his hamstring and was visibly limping, but continued to lineup
to defend. Without a clock to simulate a pass rush, receivers were able to run
unrealistic routes to get open, but still, more often than not, Edwards was
able to stay with his opposition.
He gives some of
the credit to Andrew McGee, WVU's defensive graduate assistant, who shared a
new technique with Edwards before one-on-one work began.
"At one point, I
got really aggressive and all the receivers were expecting that," Edwards
admits. "Then I showed them something different and then the timing between the
quarterback and the receiver was horrendous when I changed it up."
This is why
Edwards shows up to these camps. He knows despite the knowledge he gained from
his parents and his high school coaches, there is much left to learn. The more
opportunities he has to put what he learns to the test, the better.
Edwards has been
speaking with WVU cornerbacks coach Daron Roberts for some time now and his
interaction with him on Sunday was again positive.
"He likes my
approach and how dedicated my whole family is to the game," says Edwards. "I'll
get an inspirational quote from him every once in awhile and that's really how
our conversations go. He says he likes my swagger and my confidence because at
this position, you need to be confident."
He says at this
time, he is sticking with his commitment to Duke and he is happy with the
decision he made, but he continues to keep an eye and an ear open to coaching
staffs that he meets along the way. The Mountaineers are among those he has
been listening to.
"I learned today
that I'd have a chance for early playing time [at WVU]," says Edwards. "Coach
Daron, he's a cool guy. I enjoyed working with him today and I like how he
doesn't put up a front. He's been 100 percent the whole time. He hasn't acted
one way and then changed when I got on campus today, he's acted like my coach
throughout the whole recruiting process. He's spoken to me like I was his
Now they each
have their own coaches and players to get back to as both Woodbridge and WVU
begin their own camps later this week.
Edwards may not
withdraw his commitment, but now he can say with confidence that wherever he
ends up, he explored all of his options along the way.

750 ml cage and corked bottle poured into the Ommegang tulip. I tried this beer fresh and decided to let one age for about 1.5 years before reviewing. Artwork on bottle is fairly plain with a detailed story about the beer displayed on the back.
Pours a deep tan color with a bubbly head similar to champagne. Head dissolves quickly and leaves little lacing along the glass. Smells of sweet hops. The taste has definitely mild out aging in the DBF. The most prominent taste is the spicy malts with subtle hints of fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Drinkability is moderate. There are so many unbelievable belgian ales out there to compete with and this is just an average example. Very good tasting but not up to par with some of the bigger ales. I will definitely hold on to my last bottle in the cellar and compare with the fresh 2009 vintage.

The 2008 release smells of dark fruits and brown sugar, perhaps banana bread made with black molasses.
These flavors continue on the tongue, with the dark fruit esters especially present. Deep below those fruits are caramel and chocolate malt flavors, as well as tobacco. A nice, well-balanced smattering of hops completes the palate, mostly noticeable in the slight tingling the ale leaves on the tongue. But the dark fruit flavors easily dominate, creating a huge sugary-alcohol flavor to this brew, no doubt in no small part because of its 9% alc./vol. status.
Anyone familiar with some of Unibroue's other offerings (especially their other "ales on lees" such as Trois Pistoles), will easily recognize the flavors present here. In fact, it might be an interesting comparison to see what the differences are between Trois Pistoles and the 2008 Vintage Ale; it seems to my memory that they share far more in common than not.

Corked and caged bottle into a Chimay chalice.
Appearance: A swirling lighter amber color with a lot of carbonation and coating off-white head. A lot to admire here with subsequent pours.
Smell: Dominant fruit esters and Dubbel aromas with dark berries and apples, strawberries, a tad banana, and brown sugar.
Taste: Initial fruity esters from the yeast, with darker berries and sugars coming to fruition, along with hints of brown sugar. Balanced stuff, though it could push the boundaries a bit, as I'm tasting vintage Unibroue flavors without a lot of distinction. Be that as it may, I'd take Unibroue flavors over many domestics, so I'm fine with it.
Mouthfeel: Creamy and effervescent with a good burst of carbonation at the end, and this is even after two hours of sipping and pouring.
Drinkability: A pretty solid Unibroue brew, since that's essentially what it is. Flavorful and balanced, with all the Belgian qualities one comes to expect from their brewery. I'm not sure how Trader Joe's has much to do with it, but for around $5, I'm going to snag a few more, if they still have them, when I go back to see what happens in the cellar.

Pours a hazy red color with a fizzy head with fair retention.
Smells of belgian yeast, this beer smells like a Unibroue which it is. maybe a little pine apple.
Lots of carbonation, almost to much but the rest of the mouthfeel is great. Tastes fruity, and very belgian, maybe a little raisons.
At $5 for a 750ml this beer is an incredible value. I will be buying much more of this in the future.

A - This one pours from it's obviously Unibroue'd bottle into my snifter a lighter-than-expected nutty brown hue with a huge four finger beige head. Lots of quality lace is smattered about the snifter, and the head shows really good staying power for a high ABV brew. The head is nice and fluffy, and the brew is almost clear when held directly in front of a light source (i.e. my laptop display).
S - Dark fruit and candied sugar plums are the major players here. Definitely a good start for a wintry night such as this. Hints of light mint are way off in the distance, and only come to me after several sniffs, and some alcohol is definitely noticeable (not a bad thing). This is dark, alluring, and vinous in the way that only Belgian (or Belgian style) brews can be.
T - Again, dark fruit.... plum, date, raisin, and dried apricots. And some rummy notes bring this one out of the Christmas/winter vibe and onto the decks of a Carnival Cruise ship in the damp heat of the Caribbean. This seems lightly spiced to me, and the dark fruit/ rum combo is definitely a hit although this is not as complex as most upper echelon dubbels.
M - This is a full bodied brew masquerading as a medium bodied tipple behind a mask of alcohol, fruit, and a semi-dry finish. This initially seems sweet and full, but pulls back to a boozy dry finish that seems dusty after the swallow. Nice!
D - This is a slow sippin' brew for the wee hours of the night. A definite nightcap that could put you to sleep early shoudl you choose this as your weapon of choice too early in the evening. I dig the dark rum notes that remind me of a late after-dinner stroll around the humid decks of a cruise ship in the black middle of the vast Caribbean. I like it!

22oz bomber poured into Unibroue La Fin du Monde chalices.
This muddy brown brew, hazy with yeast stirred up (intentionally) from the bottom, raises a massive foamy tan head that slowly recedes.
Sweet musty malt dominates the nose. A very pleasing balance of sweet maltiness underlies fruity and spicy notes. A very well done dubbel, not cloying at all, the very active carbonation from the bottle conditioning makes this a lively and very drinkable beer. Surpsisingly one of the best Unibroue offerings I have had in a while. At TJ prices, i will buy more.

This vintage ale pours a murky reddish brown into a large wine glass from a 750 ml. bottle. A thin head settles and keeps awhile.
Offers a nice smell of light dried fruit and balanced malts.
Taste is similar. A bit of light grape and some muddled dried fruits. Malt structure is moderate, as it should be for a Dubbel. Lots of carbonation here, perhaps over done actually. But then, not really.
Bottom line a very nice ale and hats off to Trader Joe's for hosting such an ale. Better than many an American interpretation of the style.

Pours a murky medium brown/gray color, minimal biege head, some action, and had visible sediment in bottle.
Has a spicy aroma of florals.
Sweet molasses flavored malt, with butter, and lots of florals.
Full bodied, buttery and watery/resin feel, with lively smooth carbonation.
A sweet vintage ale that could probably use some aging.

Enjoyed this bottle while making some buffalo chicken wings. Poured from the 750 to the brandless chalice. A buddy of mine has had this one for a while so it should have a little age on it. AND he decided to share it with me.
A- dark brown with a slight rusty color on sides where light is let through. Even though the head has somewhat disipated there is still alot of effervesence.
S- Yeast remniscent of a Unibroue beer. Malty with a slight tinge of sweetness.
T- Lots of that Unibroue yeast. Has the crispness of La Fin Du Monde with the dark fruits of Maudite. Nearly the effervesence of La Terrible.
M- Crisp and very bubbly.
D- Easily could drink my friends whole bottle. I probably enjoyed it more than him.

Not as good as the '07! More carbonated than the previous year's brew. The flavor isn't quite up to par, not the marriage of sweetness that Vintage '07 provided. Still, this beer is a cut above average especially for the price. It's just too similar to the other Unibroue mainstays and Chimay. Not like this is a bad thing, but it fails to really stand out. Not for those with discriminating tastes.
I think '07 was such a hit, TJ's ramped up production this year. Unofrtunately, the quality is a little worse even though the supplies are better. (Last year, I coudn't buy the vintage in Febuary at my local store!)

Bottle: Poured a hazy deep brown color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of typical Unibroue Belgian ester with deep rich malt with hints of candi sugar. Taste is also a nice mix between some rich Belgian malt with notes of candi sugar and that typical Unibroue ester. Body is quite full with great carbonation and no signs of alcohol. Very well done though quite similar to prior year vintage.

Pours a cloudy, opaque brown with a good sized tan head. There is excellent retention and a good amount of lacing.
Smells of a typical dubbel, yeasty, fruit, sweet, spice.
Tastes are the same as the nose, a big fruit flavor with some spiciness. I mostly taste apples, raisins, figs, and other such fruits.
Mouthfeel is thick and syrupy. An appropriate amount of carbonation.
This is fairly drinkable.
I bought with low expectations. It was a pleasant surprise and turned out to be a good brew. If you have the chance to pick one up, I would suggest it.

A big three finger head is light tan in color and full of fast crackling bubbles that fade to a skim in two minutes. Body is a hazy root beer tone that shows amber tones when held to light. Nose is full of yeasty fruit tones and bubble gum. the first sip brings with it lots of that yeasty fruit in the form of dark fruit and mellon. Carbonation carries with it a soft, phelonic spice profile that is very nice. There are notes of raw veggies as well. Actually the mouth feel is dominated by this yeasty veggie feel. This is a nicely drinkable sipper with well hidden alcohol.

The New Year tradition continues...
Though not stored in the most optimal setting, the 2008 Vintage Ale is very good some three years on.
Head is thick and cream colored, which reduces to a thin white layer just on the surface.
Color is a deep brown, dark tan. Not as red as other years.
Aroma is fantastic! Very fruity and jammy. Strong hint of apricot and pineapple. Very similar to Muscat or possibly a Vioginer wine.
Taste is equally fruity, with hints of coriander and a 9% warming alcohol that could only go up a couple %'s over the long storage.
Mouthfeel is light with a bit of tartness, though overall flavor is surprisingly fleeting. Slightly bitter finish, but ultimately the flavor is gone in your mouth within a few seconds.

Not sure why this isn't listed under Unibroue as the bottle states it's clearly brewed by them. Since Unibroue is one of my favorite breweries, I'm thrilled my sister gave this to me as a recent gift.
APPEARANCE: Pours into a LaChouffe tulip a dark bronze amber (okay, brown) with a massive, rocky, loose-bubbled, beige head. It gradually shrinks down from its immense size to a full, one-finger high cap with a constant stream of bubbles replenishing it completely.
SMELL: An immediate hit of an abbey-like yeast is followed by an even bigger fruitiness - quite typical of Unibroue's yeast. Chocolate, figs, and especially raisin are very prominent here. A light alcohol highlight tops the beer off.
TASTE: Quite light in flavor despite a significant fruitiness. It's missing the breadiness I'd expect from an abbey-style dubbel but has a pretty nice dark malt component though too muted to be called chocolaty. Alcohol is undetectable in the flavor but shows itself a bit as a warming afterthought long after the swallow.
MOUTHFEEL: Medium-light bodied and nicely dried out. The carbonation level is higher than average which is appropriate for the style.
DRINKABILITY: It goes down easy enough, and I'll have fun getting through the 750mL bottle tonight. This feels nothing like 9% though which gives this beer the 'dangerous' label; that's a good thing.
A fine choice that I'll consider a Unibroue success. If you're looking for something out of the ordinary that jumps a bit out of style guidelines, you could do much worse than to pick up a bottle of this.

Review from 7/2010 notes. Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a deep red amber. Moderate off white head fades to thin film with light lacing. Nice Belgian aroma. Mild malt with dark fruits, sharp carbonation up front. Fades to lighter fruit and malt, spices and finishes a bit abruptly with a bit of hop bitterness and an interesting lingering caramel aftertaste. Tastes nice. I regret that I did not record my original comments on this when fresh, although I remember being pleasantly pleased (and bought two cases!). Like other Trader Joe's Vintage beers, time has treated this well. Mellow and tasty.

dark amber in color, almost garnet on the sides and the bottom with a nice two finger head of white foam that came up and over the to, settling down nicely and evenly across the sides of the glass.
Aroma was full, nice tart notes of fruit, plums, grape skins, an earthy, full fruity aroma. Nice touches of bitterness sprinkled in throughout as well. Warming brings out some more caramel, touches of earthy, grainy hops and a nice balance of earthy tones. Nice full bodied feel as the lush carbonation rolls across the tongue and really gets going. Smooth, even finish with a nice tart bite

A: Pours a dark brown that turns into a ruddy hue when held up to light. Decent amount of foamy white head forms.
S: Strong complex Belgian yeast smell with a smoky overtone almost reminiscent of polska kielbasa. Additional tones of raisins and brown sugar.
T: Malty and yeasty with strong flavors of cloves, dark fruits, apple pie spices and brown sugar. Finishes sweet and slightly bitter/ spicy with alcohol definitely present.
M: Carbonation very strongly tingles the mouth and plays around.
D: Decent sipper. Enjoyed trying it but I think I'll stick to Maudite for my Unibroue fix.

750ml. cork/caged brown bottle with gold silk-screened label and a Best Before: 09-09-2011, printed on the back. After a brief wrestle with a stubborn cork, it comes out with a pop and pours a lightly murky hazelnut brown with adequate carbonation and then some. The head is a lofty near three-fingers beige floam in my Duvel tulip, with some sticky lace as well.
The smell is very sweet, full of spice and fruits. Spicy clove, coriander, pepper and ?, pretty much dominate the fruit malty backdrop. As it warms the malt speaks-up and so does the alcohol...a definite plus.
The taste is spicy right up front, with notes of plum, candi sugar and a slight warming alcohol pulling through at the finish. Somewhat complex flavor that could use a bit more age on it. Very sweet too say the least.
Full body with some fluffiness and just a bit prickly on the tongue...pepper like.
Overall a pretty good Dubbel at a very attractive price...$4.99. You can't go wrong here for a big brew of 9% ABV.

Poured into a chalice. Nice medium brown with a hint of red. Head was thin, maybe 1 finger at best, and left small lacings on the top. Aroma was a roasted malt up front, then switching to a fruity sweet, maybe like plum. Small hint of seasonal spices, nutmeg, cinnamon etc. Taste was mellow up front, shifting to a sweet fruit, then a hint of tangy bitter, before becoming sweet again to finish it up. Range of flavor was complex, however individual portions were more subtle and nuanced. Coated ok, seemed a bit over carbonated on the tongue. Overall definitely seemed to age well, didn't have any fresh to compare it to. ABV definitely seemed to pick up a bit while aging however.

TJ's Vintage 2008 is a clear brown with ruby body with a popping off white head that leaves some lacing and stays throughout the experience. Aromas are of Belgian spiciness with some cherry and decent sweetness. The flavors match with a really smooth and fluffy mouthfeel. For the price, this is a definite purchase each year.

NEW ORLEANS — For much of the first 25 minutes Saturday, No. 1 Kentucky plodded along, seemingly content to play a close game against Florida.
And then the Wildcats and their bevy of NBA talent turned up their game, using a 13-0 run midway through the second half to turn a five-point deficit and turn it into a lead they would never lose.
Kentucky beat Florida for the third time this season, moving into the SEC tournament finals with a fast-paced and high-energy 74-71 win.
All five Kentucky starters scored in double figures, led by Doron Lamb's 16 points. Anthony Davis added 15 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks.
The Gators (23-10) made the country's No. 1 team sweat down the stretch, however.
Twice Florida cut the Wildcats' lead to two.
First, with 1:55, Bradley Beal drilled a 3-pointer to make it 68-66.
Davis, a likely NBA lottery pick, missed a jumper on the other end for Kentucky (32-1) but Florida couldn't take advantage as Beal missed a 3-pointer.
Again Kentucky missed a chance to extend its lead but a foul by Erik Murphy put Terrence Jones at the line.
The star Kentucky forward hit both, pushing the lead to 70-66.
But Murphy's putback on a Kenny Boynton miss again cut Kentucky's lead to two and again Florida fouled.
Marquis Teague sank both free throws and Kentucky's lead jumped to 72-68..
But this time, Florida didn't have an answer, Boynton's 3-pointer hitting iron and bouncing long off of it and into the hands of Kentucky's Doron Lamb, who sealed the game with two free throws.
Kentucky won despite shooting just 31 percent in the second half thanks to clutch free-throw shooting. The Wildcats went 14 of 18 from the line in the final 20 minutes.
The Wildcats outrebounded Florida 39-25, blocked four shots and came up with five steals in the win.
Florida, meanwhile, went 11 of 22 from 3-point range and shot 48.3 percent overall but was hurt by not getting to the free-throw line but once in the game.
The Gators' Murphy led all scorers with 24 points on 9 of 12 shooting, including 4 of 4 from 3-point range and Beal added 20 points and eight rebounds.
