The Good
Michael Roll- After being UCLA's worst player against Cal Baptist, Roll was one of the best tonight. The junior had 11 points on 5-8 shooting in 17 minutes as he showed his ability to knock down the midrange jumper shoot coming off the screen. We heard that Roll had lost some weight in hopes of becoming quicker and he certainly looked quicker as his release was quicker than in past season:

He showed no evidence of the nagging foot injuries on the defensive end where he ran with his man around screens and even did well against the Biola point guard when he got caught on a switch. Roll was still a little hesitant the couple times he got into the key, but he made HUGE strides from last game.
Malcolm Lee- The freshman was everywhere tonight as he scored 9 points and had 6 rebounds in 14 minutes. Lee used his long arms to create havoc on defense, just as he did Monday night, but he also did well coming back to the boards and fighting for the ball. Lee was aggressive going to the rim and got to the line 4 times as he showed a lot more confidence on the ball than he did Monday. Lee is the prototypical combo guard as he's not quite a true point guard in size or style, but shows flashes of the skills needed to play both guard positions.
Drew Gordon- His numbers weren't outstanding, but his effort was.

Gordon showed great feet and athleticism, especially on the defensive end where he used his explosion off the floor to block 3 shots. He missed some shots up close and seemed lost on offense at times, but he never stopped moving and just having a big body all over the court forced a few turnovers.
James Keefe- With a young and inexperienced frontcourt Keefe will have to step up his game this year and tonight he did.

Keefe led the team in rebounds with 8 as he did a good job boxing out and going up strong for the ball. Keefe also hit a couple jumpers that will be vital for the offense as the season progresses because not only will the frontcourt need to produce, but it will also clear space in the paint for our guards to attack.
Jrue Holiday- While tonight's game wasn't as well rounded as Monday's he showed the effective outside shot that was missing against Cal Baptist. Holiday was 3-4 from beyond the arc and seemed to really settle in. On Monday, Holiday rushed a few out his perimeter shots, but he did a good job tonight of setting his feet and squaring up before shooting.
Free Throw Shooting- After a miserable 19-30 effort from the line on Monday, the Bruins looked far better at the line tonight as they went 11-14. This team doesn't have a big presence down low so the majority of the free throws will come from the guards. If that's going to happen, the Bruins have to make their trips to the line count like they did tonight.
No Injuries- A fact not to be overlooked.
The Den- The Den was a bit small on Monday as they filled the courtside seats, but elft the upper deck just about empty, but tonight they filled most of the upper deck seats. The students were loud and organized, a rare feat this early in the season. The Den also showed some recruiting knowledge as they made Moser, Honeycut and Stover all feel welcome with chants. While the team still has some kinks to work out, the Den was in midseason form.
Alfred Aboya- Offensively Aboya looked very good as he hit a couple 15 foot jumpers, ran the floor and snatched 4 offensive boards. As usual, Aboya set outstanding screens, but he also showed another aspect of his offensive game when he made a great backdoor pass to Shipp for a dunk to open the game.
The Bad
Alfred Aboya- Defensively Aboya was a mess. He is trying to hard to avoid picking up cheap fouls that guards are blowing by him onhigh screens and getting to the lane before Aboya's teammate has a chance to recover. Aboya is also trying to hard to be a presence in the middle and defend the paint that he's sliding over too early and leaving his man open for the short jumper. Aboya's role this year is far different than it's ever been and he's clearly having issues adjusting to it on the defensive end.
The Ugly
Nikola Dragovic- bucknellbruin was first to mention Dragovic's arrest and while he is innocent until proven guilty, it's disappointing that he would end up in this situation. Let's hope the accusation proves to be untrue, but it's a serious situation for the junior. I have no doubt that Howland will dole out the correct discipline once he gathers the facts.
The New 3 Point Line- No, I'm still not used to it.

CATEGORIES Movies, News/Reactions, HorrorJohn Landis is busy bringing the historical world of the underground corpse market to light in the Simon Pegg, Dan Akroyd, and David Tennant starring Burke and Hare, but that doesn't mean he's too busy to get a few more projects off the ground. Shock Till You Drop is reporting that the American Werewolf in London director will be producing Some Guy Who Kills People, a film whose title would seem to imply it's not going to be your average horror movie. And how could it be with the gentlemen Landis has assembled to creatively guide the project?
First up is the writer, Ryan Levin, whose most visible work to date would be penning the Scrubs episode in which the Janitor tries to secretly keep a pet bird in the hospital. Bringing his words to life is none other than Jack Perez. Don't recognize him? Well, he did make a little picture you might have heard of called Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, AKA Syfy's Biggest Missed Opportunity; as well as Wild Things 2, AKA Not Wild Things 1.
While Shock has the production details, Bloody-Disgusting also offers up a little insight as to the plot about a "quiet town uprooted by a series of murders committed by someone bent on revenge", which I do believe is a rare mineral no other horror movie has ever mined before. Casting is already under way with an expected shoot date of January, so it shouldn't be too long before you can finally scratch that 'Man, I can't wait to see more movies from the Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus guy' itch.

Vague Lies: How to Advise Consumers When They Complain
AbstractThis paper analyzes the incentives of a seller to provide (un)biased and (im)precise advice about a complex product such as insurance, banking and telecommunication services. Misleading the buyers by biasing the advice upwards increases the revenues but also the expected fine imposed by the authority. Making the advice less precise does not affect the revenues in equilibrium but interferes with the authority's inference and affects the expected fine in a non-monotonic way. In particular, making the advice less precise makes it harder to convict the seller but increases the expected fine when the seller is found guilty. We find that, in the equilibrium, biasing the advice and making it noisier are complements; in particular, a higher buyers' heterogeneity, a stricter standard of proof employed by the authority and a larger share of credulous consumers make the advice more biased and less precise.

Could Just Anyone Write Johnny Depp's Movie About Dalí?
Could Just Anyone Write Johnny Depp's Movie About Dalí?
A New Zealand newspaper is claiming just that.
According to the New Zealand Herald, Johnny Depp is set to play surrealist painter Salvador Dalí in the film Dalí. All he needs now is a script. And apparently he doesn't really care who it comes from — just as long as it's good.
The paper claims Depp is holding "open auditions" to find the right screenwriter. A source in the story says, "He's open to working with anyone — from housewives to pensioners — if the script is right." Now, how credible this source is remains to be seen.
What is it about Salvador Dalí biopics?
In addition to Depp's Dalí, Al Pacino is set to play the artist in Dalí and I and there has been talk of another one titled Goodbye, Dalí with Peter O'Toole. When asked about this shared interest in the painter 18 years after his death, Dalí producer Peter Rawley offered, "Filmmakers somehow pick up on the vibe. But three films is nothing, at one stage, we counted up to nine."

Humans are supposed to have 46 chromosomes, made up of 23 pairs. Sometimes errors in cell division of the sperm or egg cells lead to a baby being conceived with a trisomy condition, or three copies of a particular chromosome rather than two. Depending on which chromosome is involved in the trisomy, the effects can range from mild to severe. Trisomy 9 is a condition that usually falls on the more severe end of the spectrum.
What Trisomy 9 Means:
Trisomy 9 is a trisomy affecting the ninth chromosome. Full trisomy 9 would mean that all of the cells in the baby's body and placenta had three copies of chromosome 9. It is also possible to have partial trisomy 9, meaning there are two full copies of the ninth chromosome plus an additional partial copy. A third type of trisomy 9 involves mosaicism, meaning that the trisomy is present in some of the body's cells but other cells have a normal set of chromosomes.
Prognosis of Trisomy 9:
Full trisomy 9 is always fatal; most babies with full trisomy 9 are miscarried in the first trimester. Those that make it to birth typically will not survive more than a few months, with most dying in the first week of life. Partial trisomy 9 and mosaic trisomy 9 have a more uncertain prognosis. Many babies with mosaic trisomy 9 die in infancy due to the health problems caused by the disorder, and those that survive usually have severe developmental impairments. Partial trisomy 9 may not affect the baby's life expectancy, but affected babies may have a range of common health and developmental problems.
The cause of trisomy 9 is an error in cell division affecting either the sperm or egg, meaning that the problem is already present at conception. Sometimes a phenomenon known as trisomy correction can occur very early in embryonic development, leading some cells to be unaffected by trisomy. Researchers believe this is the origin of mosaic trisomy disorders. No one is sure what causes the cell division errors and why some babies experience trisomy correction whereas others do not.
Risk Factors:
Researchers have not identified any risk factors for having a baby affected by trisomy 9. The condition appears to occur randomly. The only exception is if either parent has a condition known as balanced translocation affecting chromosome 9, which could increase the risk of having a baby with partial trisomy 9, but partial trisomy 9 is relatively rare compared to other types.
Diagnosis of trisomy 9 could come in the form of followup testing after a miscarriage, which could reveal that the miscarried baby had trisomy 9. It is also possible to receive the diagnosis during pregnancy by either CVS or amniocentesis. Screening tests can show that a baby may be more likely to have a genetic disorder, but diagnoses can only be confirmed by genetic testing.
If Your Baby Has Been Diagnosed:
It is always scary and confusing to be told your baby has a genetic disorder of any kind, no matter where that disorder falls on the spectrum for severity. If you have miscarried a baby who was found to have trisomy 9, you should know that the miscarriage was not your fault and the odds are low that your next pregnancy will be affected. Sadly, trisomy disorders are one of those things that just happen sometimes.
If you are currently pregnant and have had a CVS or amniocentesis test that found trisomy 9, it's a good idea to talk to an experienced genetic counselor or geneticist. Given that most babies with full trisomy 9 do not make it past the first trimester, a baby that survives to the point of having a CVS or amniocentesis is most likely to have a partial or mosaic trisomy 9. Because a CVS tests cells from the placenta and an amniocentesis tests cells from the baby, doctors may recommend following up with an amniocentesis in cases that the CVS shows a trisomy condition. The prognosis is better if the amniocentesis fails to confirm the CVS findings; this would mean that the trisomy is likely to be confined to the placenta. Babies with mosaicism for trisomy 9 that is confirmed in an amniocentesis can be anywhere from mildly to severely affected. Unfortunately, prenatal testing currently cannot predict the outcome for individual babies.

- Muscle weakness
- Bone pain
- Fractures that do not heal, especially in ribs and pelvis
- Altered mental status
- Premature Osteoporosis
- Anemia
- Impaired iron absorption
- Impaired immunity
- Seizures
- Dementia
- Growth retardation in children
- Spinal deformities: Scoliosis or kyphosis
These vital cells transport oxygen through the body. Symptoms of aluminum toxicity such as anemia and impaired iron absorption decrease the number of red blood cells.

What are you doing this weekend? If you had any friends that came to Tuesday night's HopeForFilm Screening at Goldcrest of Tristan Patterson's SxSW Audience Award winning film DRAGONSLAYER, I am sure that's what you'll now be going to see, because the word was "that good"! When I put on a screening, I also write a letter letting my list know why I care about the film. This is that letter for Dragonslayer.
Dear Film Fans,
It's hard to find much good with the speculative & irresponsible practices of our financial sector, but the devastation they've delivered is the quiet but extremely resonant backdrop for Tristan Patterson's fascinating character study of a skater named Skeetch. A doc delivered with tremendous affection towards what might have been mistaken for human wasteland, Tristan finds the beauty in his focus akin to the glory Skeetch and his tribe find in the tracts of abandoned homes and pools that become both their playlands and sketchpads. Artists abound on all sides of the camera, painting on an incredibly intimate scale. This is documentary as portraiture, as true to its form as it is to its content.
Film, like life, could/should be ours to invent, but the outside pressures frequently push us in over-worn directions; Tristan and Skeetch resist those forces to forge a work and a character unique but emblematic of our times. Skeeth has a skating style of his own, launched with abandon, punctuated with enthusiasm, and dismissing injury or error as a long ago accepted given. His ramshackle heart is mined by Patterson as a golden ray in a world dominated by artifice and posture -- and through that, I defy you to not end up wishing our film diet could be populated by other reciprocal minstrels and artists with the restraint, discipline, observation, and heart of Patterson. This may be his first film, but you know there's more to come.
DRAGONSLAYER is a handmade antidote to the corporate embrace of skateboard culture. It is ode to individuality and a ballad to hard times. It is of no surprise that SXSW's audience rallied around it, awarding it well-deserved honor, prestige, and cred, and we are delighted to welcome it into our home as well. DRAGONSLAYER may be close to number seventy in the long line of cinematic pleasures, Christine Vachon and her merry band of collaborators have delivered to this world -- a remarkable act of commitment and fortitude in this enterprise that sometimes seems hellbent on driving out the last ounce of resistance to a corporate world of false dreams, promises, and opportunity. It seems remarkable that this is the first film of hers we've shown, but what could be a better way to start?
Hope to see you there,
Joel | November 3, 2011 3:29 AM
Hello all, so i researched your subject and found out hes a complete loser. Word is he doesn't even take care of his so called son. So how is he suppose to be working at a bowling alley to support his son when all i see around is him traveling and getting wasted and making a complete ass of himself at the Milwualke premiere. This person is not struggling, he does it to himself and wants to make you feel sorry for him. I despise people like that, I would rather record myself wiping my buns then to watch such a nonsense of a film. Getting drunk, high, and abandoning his son is not a hero, so don't waste your money on this film because the money will go towards his next fix.

Bob Fescoe had Dayton Moore on this morning while I was driving home early for the day to take care of my wife and child, both suffering from strep.
Podcast is here: http://www.610sports.com/topic/play_window.php?audioType=Episode&audioId=5608882
Here are the pertinent nuggets (from memory on the drive home) I took from a conversation full of softball questions:
* The Royals have had discussions on a number of trades, but don't see any further deals happening unless one side or the other lowers demands, which may not be until mid-ST or early in the season, if at all. They know there is a market for Soria but apparently haven't been wowed enough by any offers yet.
* Moore feels that the team cannot compete for top tier free agents and must grow stars from within, hence the hesitation to trade any of the top prospects. He also referenced the amount of investment put into the top prospects to get them to "buy in" to what the Royals are doing as another reason for not dealing them.
* The Royals are building their bullpen with the idea of anchoring the back end with Soria. Moore feels if all the bullpen arms perform to expectation, there will be a market to deal a piece (read Soria or Broxton) during the season.
* Aaron Crow will get every opportunity to try out for the rotation this spring, and is showing up for 2-3 hours every day to work with the training staff during the offseason. If he doesn't work out as a starter, at least the Royals know they have an All-Star reliever.
* Dayton didn't directly come out and say it, but alluded that Jonathan Sanchez, Luke Hochevar, and Bruce Chen are "in" the rotation, and the "lefty power pitchers" will be competing for the last two spots.
* Dayton is aware of the fan backlash re: Yuniesky Betancourt. He says Betancourt turned down more money from NL teams that also wanted him in a similar role to come to KC because of his relationship with the team. Moore's words, as exactly as I can remember them, are that Yuni will "get reps at second base," will play some SS but he expects Alcides Escobar to start 150+ games there, and that he will spell Moustakas against a tough lefty. Moore said he is a liked player in the clubhouse, and still has "skills." He emphasized skills a lot. He thinks that Yuni is still developing (though he will be 30) and cited Francoeur as an example of a player who is only a few years younger and still developing. Moore likes Yuni's split against lefties, citing a .275 career average and .421 slug against LHP.
* There is a mutual desire to extend Alex Gordon, but there is no immediate urgency to get a deal done at the moment, as he is under team control for two more years. An extension will have to make sense with respect to when the other young players will be in their arbitration and free agency years.
* Moore feels that Lorenzo Cain is a "definite" upgrade defensively in CF, which surprised Fescoe, who loved him some Melky. Moore acknowledged Cain is unproven offensively.

News: Iggy Azalea Crosses Out A$AP Rocky Finger Tattoo
Saturday, Mar 2, 2013 7:25AM
Australian hip-hop artist Iggy Azalea has the Internet buzzing as a new photo is currently circulating online showing her A$AP Rocky finger tattoo crossed out.
Although she has not to address the updated ink job, the photo has sparked widespread reactions from bloggers.
Damn @IggyAzalea, It was all good just some ink ago. Iggy Azalea has been on and off again with publicizing her
relationshipsituationship with ASAP Rocky, but we think this could be the last we hear of them as a pair or 'friends' or whatever they call it these days. In any case, the Beauty from Down Under got caught in a photo with her famed fingers that usually read Long Live ASAP exed out. No word on why the sudden change but one things for sure, that's permanent. Check it out the before and after below. (DDOTOMEN)
Last summer, Rocky downplayed questions involved himself and Iggy.
"No, nah, I'm not dating her," Rocky told Jenny after complimenting her looks. "I do like blondes. [Is the relationship over?] How do you ever know there was a relationship? [laughs] Nah, I'm not dating her. [Were we having sex?] Ummm... [laughs] You tell me. I hope so, that would be a beautiful sight." ("Jenny Boom Boom TV")
A month prior, Iggy kept her lips sealed when hit with Rocky dating questions.
"If I were in a relationship ever in life, you would never hear me talk about it and it's not about career," she said. "It's because I believe some things you have to keep to yourself. Relationships are one of them. ... My mother thought I was a lesbian because I would never bring home guys. I'm not into women. ... I'd never do a sex tape. I'm boring." (Power 105.1)
In January 2012, Azalea reportedly spilled the beans on her hook-up with Rocky and allegedy donning his tattoo.
"Ugh, it's hard to say without getting myself in trouble. [Laughs]," she said when asked about the tat. "I don't know how to put it. It's like... I... I don't know... I love him and that's all there is to it. We have our own thing going on and I'm not the only one that [got the tattoos]. I'll tell you that. [Laughs] I'm just the only one with it on my fingers! [Do I love the movement or Rocky?] It's not the movement. I'll tell you that. [Am I single?] I'd have to say that I'm taken." (VIBE)

Overall recap and summary for Digimon Xros Wars
I'm going to clarify(?) some stuff and a recap during our 1 year and 8 month journey with Xros Wars.
First I have to thank all of you for your continued support. I couldn't be this motivated and reach over one million hits within a year. And thank you for bear with my limited Japanese, and sometimes mistranslation(specially at the beginning of the series). I want to thank the staff who worked in Digimon in the Toei Studio, and the out source studios.

Additional Comment:
-Digimon Xros Wars was first broadcast on July 6, 2010. It was first leaked on a site call Takarajima as straps for pre-order, with new Digimon listed, and the title of "New Anime". After everyone finds out, the site immediately took down the merchandise, then few days later they put it back up again, and Vjump finally releases more info about it. Before Digimon Xros Wars was release, on 2009, one of the website mentioned there will be new Digimon coming out in Spring 2010, and it's name "Digimon Around" for the up-coming new Digimon Game. Later, Digimon Xros Wars Anime news were reveal for July(It was first spell as "Digimon Cross Wars"), and the Manga for Xros Wars began to serialized on the Vjump that was release on June 21st, 2010, a month before the anime was aired.

LEN3: Need for talent, new rules may encourage Twins to deal
No breaking news here, but LaVelle does a nice job giving a lay of the land as the trade deadline approaches. Talker: some other Twinkie Town writers and I were kicking around just what kind of deal it would have to be for the Twins to be amenable to extending Francisco Liriano. I have to guess there are people on the club for whom there isn't a cheap enough cost to continue dealing with the ups and downs. I'd also hope Terry Ryan isn't going to give him away just because of that sentiment.

My Fiance's Angel | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/8/09
My fiance calls me his angel and he always wonders how he could possibly have ended up with a girl like me. He's never heard this song until tonight but he thinks it describes our relationship perfectly
This is Our song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/4/09
When I first met my husband back in 1992 he sang this song to me as it was playing over the intercom in a Rite-Aid drug store. He was on one knee holding my hands and singing this song and that is when he ask me to marry him. Before the song was over there were about 20 people standing there listening and watching some with tears in there eyes tell me "I wish I had a man that would do that for me" Oh ya I said Yes and that song has been our song ever since

Love this song! | Reviewer: A. Gray | 7/28/08
I had never heard of tis song until my husband was downloading songs one day. He told me to listen, but since it was on his phone, the lyrics were really distorted and I couldnt understand them. He uploaded it to the computer and now Im hooked! This is such a beautiful song. We dance to it, with or without the music playing.
wedding song | Reviewer: viv | 6/30/08
My fiance had never heard this song before and I did a cd for him with this on it and he fell in love with it.
Its so poignant with Jeff being blind, some of the lyrics really tug your heart:It must be somethin only you can see,
'cause girl I feel it when you look at me.
Its going to be our first dance song at our wedding next june 6th.
Thanks Jeff and may you forever sing with angels.

my boyfriend was singing this the other night when we were on the phone and i couldnt really hear him that well but then there was this forward about "what song reminds you of me.." and he said this one. =] i really love this songs lyrics.
Wife's favorite song | Reviewer: Mark | 5/29/08
This song is one of my wife's favorites, and she asked me to learn it so I can sing it to her at night when she's trying to fall asleep. When I first listened to it, I realized that this song was made for us. She's so beautiful, and I'm just a plain old guy. I thank God for giving her to me!
i am the angel eyes | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/26/08
I have always loved this song but never really thought about the lyrics. Until the guy who I am dating and have fallen in love with. He has this song on his Iphone and I played it. As the song started playing he sang it. Just then it hit me this song is ours. He is always saying that he does not have women attracted to him and that I deserve so much more of a guy. So all the lyrics match what he thinks and who I am.
love that can transend time | Reviewer: Nicholas Wolfe | 4/16/08
you know everyone hears about something so unreal happening to someone, and they wish that it would happen to them. I was the wisher....see....i grew up with a very speacil woman....we met in grade 9....unfortunatley i was on the cusp of many physical problems...we met and became friends.....a year later i did not have time to tell her good-bye, as family was moving to Yukon....then 4 years later i came back...we met, and instantly it off, and began to date...my foolish pride made us break up and not speak to each other....that was 13 years ago!! just 1 week ago, she got ahold of me, and wow....she confided in me since highschool she wanted me.....we would often dance to this song....Thank you Mr. Healy...we never met, but this song ALWAYS reminded me, and how i felt her...i know it has been said a thousand times....but in this case...it keept her faith alive, and my memory of her intact...even though now i have many physical problems......My angel eyes still loves me........and i love her!

Written by John Hiatt | Reviewer: K C | 11/26/07
Yo Stoddard,
This song, "Angel Eyes" (The one by The Jeff Healey Band) was written by John Hiatt in the 80's. There was an old standard with the same title that Ella Fitzgerald among others used to sing, but that's an entirely different tune.

To ensure that adequate funds are available for timely payment of TRS-ActiveCare claims, the billing cycle and due dates for premiums will change effective September 2013.
TRS-ActiveCare is a self-funded plan. The premiums paid by participating entities are the sole source of funding for the plan and must be sufficient to cover claims and administrative expenses. TRS-ActiveCare claims have exceeded projections for the current plan year, and the most significant claims months are ahead. Historically, claims activity in the summer months is by far the highest in volume, cost, and volatility. In addition, during the 83rd Legislative session, Senate Bill 1484, relating to coverage for enrollees diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, was passed and will go into effect September 1, 2013. It is estimated that this legislation will have a significant fiscal impact on the program. The changes are necessary to help maintain solvency.
Effective September 2013, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas will generate each participating district/entity's billing summary on the 1st of each month. If the 1st is not a business day, the bill will be produced on the first business day after the 1st. Payment will be due by the 15th of the month. If the 15th of the month is not a business day, payment is due by the last business day prior to the 15th.
The chart below shows the billing generation and due dates through the end of the 2013-2014 plan year. The shaded cells represent the new billing cycle and payment due dates beginning in September.
Because Sunday, September 1st is a non-business day and Monday, September 2nd is a federal holiday, the bill for September will not generate until Tuesday, September 3rd. September 15th is on a Sunday, so per the new guidelines, payment will be due on Friday, September 13th, the last business day prior to the 15th of the month.
All participating districts/entities under the TRS-ActiveCare program will be impacted.
Yes, payments will continue to be submitted via TEXNET.
Districts can continue to call BCBSTX Customer Service (1-866-355-5999) to request copies of their monthly bills.
No, the Administrative Guide will not be reprinted or redistributed at this time. A revised billing summary chart with the new billing cycle and due dates appears above in this document. Later this summer, BCBSTX will revise the Quick Reference Guide and send an electronic copy to Benefits Administrators.
During the 83rd Legislative session, Senate Bill 1484, relating to coverage for enrollees diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, was passed and will go into effect September 1, 2013. It is estimated that this legislation, which removes age restrictions for coverage, will have a significant fiscal impact on the program.
TRS cannot provide guidance to districts/entities on how to handle payroll arrangements.
This is correct.
If you have questions, please contact Rosa Franco at (512) 542-6396.
TRS-ActiveCare management and the health care consultant determined that changing the premium billing cycle and due dates would help ensure the program meets its claims liability and solvency requirements. The TRS Board of Trustees approved this change at the June 14, 2013 Board meeting.
TRS-ActiveCare is working closely with BCBSTX, the plan administrator for the program, to modify systems and schedules for successful transition to the new billing cycles and due dates. BCBSTX will continue to assist TRS with communications and training as well as provide Customer Service to generate and distribute bill copies, assist Benefits Administrators in retrieving and reviewing bills through Blue Access for Employers, and address inquiries–on billing, membership processing, and claims.

JUNEAU -- The Alaska Gasline Development Corp. has scaled back a key part of its natural gas pipeline, and will no longer attempt to carry gas enriched with natural gas liquids (NGL), the heavier components of natural gas such as propane, butane and ethane that are sometimes found along with methane, the type of natural gas used for home heating.
NGLs were once touted as a way to lower the pipeline's tariff, or what consumers along the pipeline's proposed route would have to pay to get gas. Now, AGDC officials are touting the benefits of not carrying them.
"We thought at the time that there was a market for that, but with the shale gas development in the Lower 48 the market for NGLs just disappeared," said Leslye Langla, spokesperson for the corporation.
The change could be good news for Fairbanks, but bad news for Anchorage, according to information from the AGDC.
The plan -- called the Alaska Stand Alone Gas Pipeline (ASAP) -- is one of two natural gas pipeline efforts under way with the backing of the state government.
It would construct a 737-mile pipeline from the North Slope to Southcentral carrying up to 500 million cubic feet per day of natural gas. House Speaker Mike Chenault, R-Nikiski, has been among its biggest backers.
A second pipeline, the Alaska Pipeline Project (APP), is also in the works under the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA) process begun under former Gov. Sarah Palin and continued by Gov. Sean Parnell. That plan might carry as much as 3-4 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day with both Cook Inlet and Valdez being considered for its southern terminus.
The focus of the larger pipeline has morphed under Parnell from a project delivering North Slope gas to the Lower 48 into a way of exporting gas as liquefied natural gas (LNG) to overseas markets. But its economies of scale would mean it would provide the cheapest possible gas to Alaska consumers – if it happens.
Gaslines aren't in competition, backers say
Alaska is subsidizing the initial development work on both lines: up to $500 million has been committed, under AGIA, to the large line, and the ASAP line benefits from a projected subsidy of $400 million, with $72 million already spent.
ASAP's estimated cost is about $8 billion, which supporters hope will be paid by shippers.
"This line is not in competition with AGIA, the Alaska Pipeline Project," said ASAP pipeline manager Frank Richards.
AGDC officials say their latest plan, rolled out late in 2012 and recently brought to Fairbanks officials and some legislators, makes changes to AGDC's original 2011 plan in an effort to hold down tariffs and to deal with changing market conditions.
The ASAP pipeline will now carry "lean gas," which is closer to pure methane, rather than "rich gas" that also contains NGLs. Some propane will remain in the lean gas.
Langla said that the companies that they were hoping to attract to Alaska to use those NGLs in Alaska now have access to cheaper raw materials closer to home, making the shipping of NGLs through the ASAP pipeline uneconomic.
The switch to a lean gas pipeline will help lower costs in Fairbanks by eliminating the costly "straddle plant," the equipment needed to extract and then reinject the NGLs from the pipeline so that regular methane natural gas could be sent to Fairbanks homeowners.
"When you take out the expensive facilities you reduce the cost of the project, which reduces the price of the tariff," Langla said.
The total project cost is also reduced by being able to use lower pressure in the pipeline, thinner steel in the pipe, and more standard valves and other equipment, she said.
While both Fairbanks and Anchorage would have needed straddle plants, the small size of the Fairbanks market made the straddle plant there relatively more expensive. Under the latest plan, Fairbanks would have a lower tariff than Anchorage.
A side benefit to the new lean gas approach would be the ability to have multiple off-take points all along the pipeline, something that would be cost-prohibitive with rich gas.
The 2011 ASAP plan had said that shipping NGLs was an important part of keeping down tariffs for most users.
"Eliminating NGLs significantly increases the tariff to a majority of off-takers (Anchorage)," according to the 2011 plan.
The new plan estimates Fairbanks costs at between $8.25 and $10 per million BTUs; Anchorage consumers would pay between $9 and $11.25 per million BTUs. Delay and inflation could drive those costs up, while additional state contributions could reduce them, AGDC officials said.
To help hold down costs the new plan extends the length of the tariff from 20 to 30 years and reduces profits for the pipeline owner.
The Legislature is expected to begin hearing House Bill 4, which would enable work to continue on the ASAP plan Monday.
Richards said the ASAP project is ready for another infusion of cash from lawmakers.

Air Force Drops Second Game At To Navy At Service Academies Spring Classic
Feb. 23, 2007
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Air Force's (4-6) late rally came up just short, as Navy (8-1) held the Falcons off for a 7-5 win Friday afternoon at Nat Buring Stadium. The win gave the Midshipmen a double-site doubleheader sweep over the Falcons as Navy took game one earlier in the day, 7-1, at USA Stadium in Millington, Tenn.
The Falcons and Mids battled back-and-forth early in the game until Navy went ahead for good on a two-run home run by Mitch Harris in the fifth inning. The loss spoiled a gutsy effort by Falcon starter Mitch Brown. Brown (1-2) took the loss, despite tossing 8.1 innings and striking out five. He allowed seven runs, five earned, off of eight hits and two walks.
Navy starter Mike White improved to 3-0 on the season. The right-hander went 6.1 innings, striking out five. Closer J.D. Melton went the remaining 2.2 innings for the save.
The Mids had eight hits in the game and were led, for the second game in a row, by Harris. The Falcons had seven hits in the game, led by freshmen Ben Ausbun and Matt Alexander, who both went 2-for-4.
After Navy scored a run in the top of the first, the Falcons responded with a run in the first and one more in the second to pull ahead 2-1 early on.
Navy came back with two runs in the fourth to go back ahead 3-2 but the Falcons responded with a run in the bottom of the fourth to make it a 3-3 tie.
After Harris' homer in the fifth, Navy added a run in the seventh. Air Force then pushed across two runs in the bottom of the eighth to make it a 6-5 game. Karl Bolt and Alexander hit back-to-back doubles to score Bolt for the first run and Addison Gentry came through with a two-out RBI-single to score Alexander.
Navy scored an insurance run in the eighth to go ahead 7-5.
The Falcons made things interesting in the ninth, getting two base runners on with one out. But Melton got the next two batters out to end the game.
The Falcons return to action Sunday at 9 a.m. against Akron. With stormy weather forecast for Saturday, please check with www.goairforcefalcons.com for up-to-date news on any schedule updates.

For those of you who watch the show and have been following my posts regarding Nicole Beharie's character on The Good Wife, it seems like I totally missed a new development in the plot. I first noticed when I didn't see Nicole Beharie listed on the imdb for the upcoming CBS episode.
Monica Raymund (Lie To Me, Blue Bloods), another Juilliard grad, reportedly landed a recurring role at the beginning of September as a new prosecutor in the State's Attorney office and a possible love interest for Cary (played by Matt Czuchry). Beharie, who has been in the last two episodes in the role of Imani Stonehouse, came in as the new Assistant U.S. Attorney. She was supposedly brought in to form a connection with Cary, an emergency subplot since Kelli Giddish's character departure from the show.
While Beharie's Imani may not be completely out of the picture, is interesting to note that she hasn't been on any promotional material or on the CBS show's website, while Monica Raymund has.
Anyways, I hope Nicole has a grander project on the horizon; that would be a plausible reason for her brief role on the show, IF that's the case. I'm only speculating, since I don't have further information at this point.
Just when I was getting so excited about her presence on the show. Darn it! :)

I imagine it becomes hard to write an actor into future episodes when said actor becomes unavailable all of a sudden. Kudos to the Kings for rolling with the punches at the mercy of actor availability.
misha | October 28, 2011 1:21 AM
Every major American show on TV lacks diversity. So…'The Good Wife" is just one of them!
Yes Mecca, I'm aware of that. But The Good Wife is considered one of the best and often gets credit for its hiring of black actors. Appears to be nothing more than a facade to me and I'm going to call them on it.
Mecca | October 27, 2011 12:58 PM
@ Misha
Every major American show on TV lacks diversity. So...'The Good Wife" is just one of them!
I am familiar w/ Monica Raymund on "Lie To Me" she is a promising actor. I'm not too about how I feel about her being added 2 the cast of GW.
Another Juilliard actor to watch out for is Corey Anthony Hawkins!!! So far, he has been doing a lot of theatre & a few indie projects but he is going places in the near future.
misha | October 27, 2011 5:54 AM
Oh no...I'm shocked...NOT! I like The Good Wife but when it comes to showcasing/investing in black actors and characters, the show is severly lacking.
Henry | October 27, 2011 4:26 AM
Bring back Sophia/Giddish at whatever cost . Loved that character .
llws88 | October 27, 2011 3:44 AM
I agree with Lucy that the Kings said she was supposed to bridge the gap between Cary and Kalinda...but from what we all saw...there wasn't even any interaction between the three characters.
The thing about the Good Wife is they bring in characters, then take them out, then bring them back again. So it could be that she may be back again but they did announce in like August or at least before Nicole's announcement that Monica would be on the show.
I do hope they bring Beharie back...just please...a new wig...this one is horrible! LOL
Lucy | October 27, 2011 3:21 AM
I don't know if Imani is going to stick around. I read that the Kings wanted her to be a "bridge" between Cary and Kalinda (but I still don't see "how"), so I don't think she was supposed to be a Cary's love interest, but more a workmate...but I also see that Nicole is not scheduled to appear in the next 2 episodes, while Monica Raymund is scheduled to appear for 9 episodes.
shine | October 27, 2011 2:59 AM
Oh no!! Say it isn't so, I love Nicole, please stick around.

Dalhousie University used Prime Minister Stephen Harper's visit to Israel this week as its chance to announce a new partnership with a university there.
Halifax students will be able to study the Red Sea through a new ocean studies centre at Ben-Gurion University, while Israeli students will get the chance to learn about the North Atlantic.
Dalhousie oceanographer Marlon Lewis visited Israel as part of a Nova Scotia delegation in 2011. He saw the site of the planned centre in the town of Eilat, on a gulf that lies over a deep rift valley.
"It's a marvellous laboratory for oceanography because it has one of the most beautiful and fantastic coral reefs on the planet," said Lewis.
"Just next to the shore you can go out and it's positively amazing. Water that's no deeper than your waist, and it's just teeming, teeming with life."
Just a few hundred metres from shore, the ocean floor drops to a depth of almost 2,000 metres, he said. That allows easy access to deepwater corals and other locations that are harder to get to from Halifax.
"We're interested in the physics of deepwater mixing, how the surface waters exchange properties with the deeper waters," Lewis said.
"Literally, (in Nova Scotia), if you wanted to get into a little fishing boat and get out to water that's 2,000 metres, you're looking at going out for a few days and then a few days back again to gain access to that environment."
Nova Scotia marine weather can also make research difficult, he said.
However, Halifax is well-known worldwide for hosting oceanographers, and Israeli scientists pursued the partnership with Dalhousie, said Lewis.
Several other Israeli universities will be part of the centre, but Dalhousie is the only non-Israeli school involved, he said. Israeli scientists seem to want Haligonians to play a strong role in its management when it opens in a year or so, he said.
Philanthropist Seymour Schulich "played a leading role" in the plan, according to a Dalhousie news release.
The schools' two presidents signed a memorandum of agreement Tuesday in Jerusalem while Harper and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu looked on.
The marine centre will be a locus for joint research projects, internships and electronic long-distance courses, Dalhousie said in the release. It will co-ordinate field courses in each country, hosting students at the Israeli campus in the winter and in Halifax in the summer.
Eilat is in the south of Israel, very close to Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
"It's quite a strategic area in many cases," said Lewis. "You know, despite all the rhetoric you see in the newspapers, at the scientific level people collaborate, co-operate and are very much interested in trying to carry out good scientific research."
Martha Crago, vice-president of research at Dalhousie, said the initiative happened partly thanks to the provincial government. The Nova Scotia visit in 2011 included a meeting with a former Israeli official who showed Crago the country's marine research in Eilat, she said.
"It is a place that is important not only for marine science but also for developing improved cultural and socio-political understanding," she said.

There are many things that you could do with your money, but making sure that your child does his best in school is worth the sacrifice of spending your hard-earned dollars to hire a tutor. You may have heard some good things about some local tutoring centers near your home, but you may have recently learned that some tutors will work with students online. When you consider how much you already shuttle him around as it is, online tutoring really would be much more convenient for you; however, your convenience is not the primary concern. If your child will have a good tutoring experience online, you should consider it.
Why should you consider online tutoring as an option?
First, online tutoring is the perfect platform for providing resources of all kinds to your child quickly. In addition to the materials and resources that are created by the tutor, s/he can also use readily available resources that are already on the Internet. Most online tutors will produce their own materials for helping your child, but many will prepare for their students by searching and previewing the World Wide Web to find just the right activity tutorials, practice exercises, drills, etc. to help a student understand a previously elusive concept or idea. Producing appropriate materials and finding good resources are what good teachers do, and those are the same things that good tutors do as well. With technological advances like computer screen sharing and virtual classrooms, online tutors have complete control of the Internet content and the curriculum that a face-to-face tutor has.
Another reason to consider online tutoring is that it is personalized for your child. The tutor-to-student ratio at some tutoring companies can vary from 1-to-1 to 1-to-4 or more, but online tutoring is always 1-to-1! This makes it easier to for the tutor to catch errors and check for understanding right away. Part of the reason that the student may have been confused about a concept is that teachers are not always able to catch errors for all of their students since they have so many students to teach at one time. This personalized attention that a tutor can give could be all a student needs to get on track with her learning! Even though it s a relatively new option, online tutoring has been deemed effective for all kinds of subjects. The abstract, Results from the Evaluation of the Effectiveness of an Online Tutor on Expression Evaluation, summarizes its findings for tutoring online thusly, Our results show that online tutors indeed help students learn. Students who use the tutor for practice learn better than those who use a printed workbook.
A personalized program can be implemented with online tutoring just as it usually is at a tutoring company or with other private 1-to-1 tutors. Online tutors, however, can guarantee continuity because the student has the same person for each session as opposed to most tutoring companies where parents are not guaranteed the same person will work with their children for each session. Just as many tutoring companies have a range of programs, many online tutors can offer a comparable range of programs for a wide spectrum of grade levels depending on the tutor s educational background and experience. Many online tutoring companies can assist parents in matching their children s weaknesses to the offerings of the right tutors by listing specific offerings to match a student s needs. A parent can personalize a student s online tutoring experience with the choices s/he makes from what is offered by the online tutoring company.
Of course, homework help might be the only help that your child needs. If the homework help is just to clear up some confusing concept, to prepare for upcoming exams or high-stakes testing, online tutors can also provide the intervention that a student needs. However, consider a longer-term tutoring program if your child seems to need regular homework help; there may be a significant lack of fundamentals that a tutor can help to remediate. If those fundamentals are not addressed in a meaningful way, your money will be spent on putting out fires, and your child s confidence will not increase. He will not be the independent learner that you want him to be.
Besides providing your child with 1-to-1, personalized assistance, online tutoring is convenient! Many parents who have to drive their children to a tutoring center find that their afternoons or evenings are interrupted with stopping and starting . They have to stop to get the student (and sometimes siblings) to the tutoring center, return home or run a quick errand, then, stop and return to get the student (and the siblings) from the tutoring center, and finally go back home. With online tutoring, there is no interruption of the family s routine, and if the student is older (like middle schoolers), working parents don t have to rush home to take her anywhere.
With online tutoring, you don t have to leave your house. Imagine not dreading rainy or snowy weather conditions to get to a session. Unless there is a power outage, the tutoring session can take place. As a matter of fact, some online tutoring students have been known to continue their tutoring sessions while away on vacation because as long as they have an Internet connection, they can have their tutoring sessions. That means reduced make-up sessions for the parents to re-schedule!
So, let s say you re convince. What should you look for when considering online tutoring for your child?
A knowledgeable tutor is a must for a good tutoring experience! Look at the tutor s educational background. Of course, having an appropriate degree for the subject(s) helps. Additionally, having previous tutoring and/or teaching experience can be a real plus. Sometimes, a person s work experience prepares him well for tutoring. I ve seen graduate students and practitioners in chemistry and engineering do amazing work with high-level math, chemistry, and physics. Think about what your child needs, and match that to the tutor s credentials and knowledge level.
A reputable tutor will guarantee her programs. If you commit to providing a tutoring program, the tutor should offer you a guarantee of a certain amount of progress in your child s performance. This often is done through pre- or placement testing and comparing those results to where the student ends her work in a program. Look for a guarantee of measurable progress when choosing an online tutoring service.
One last but important consideration is secure online payment. Payment for online tutoring is done virtually as well, but look at how the online payment is to be made. The tutor s site should send you to a secure web page with the prefix, https at the beginning of the URL in the address bar. Another secure method of payment is PayPal. A PayPal payment can be made from the tutor s web site, or the tutor may send you a PayPal request for payment via your personal email. If the tutor doesn t offer secure online payment, you may want to reconsider that tutor s services.
Online tutoring can be a win-win for both parents and students. With the convenience it offers and the quality instruction, remediation is comparable, and often superior, to face-to-face tutoring. Technological enhancements like tutoring sessions with voice, screen sharing, and video make it almost like being there!

GIRDWOOD -- North Slope Borough Mayor Edward Itta blasted the governor's administration Tuesday before a collection of national and world leaders as wrongheaded, divisive and ignorant of local communities' needs in the way it has handled Arctic development.
"The state only comes to life when there's an opportunity to cheer for industry," Itta told the Arctic Imperative Summit, accusing state leaders of failing to acknowledge the effect of oil development on Native culture and communities.
Instead, Gov. Sean Parnell's administration has missed opportunities to strengthen Alaska's position by speaking with a unified voice when dealing with the federal government or the industry, he said.
Itta was the last speaker at a conference that saw dozens of leaders from Native communities, business and industry, state and federal government, and other Arctic countries try to find common ground and a way to move forward with investment in the Arctic. The summit had, until the very end, been a conference that seemed steadfastly positive about the state, the future of Arctic development, and industry.
Itta's theme was not a new one -- he has spoken in the past and testified before the state Legislature about his growing concern that the Parnell administration has become increasingly confrontational toward the federal government, often choosing litigation over discussion to resolve differences.
But his speech Tuesday was his strongest statement yet on his disappointment with the administration's lack of engagement with the local people when it comes to federal issues.
"Alaskans and our state government need to take a good look in the mirror and reflect on the attitude toward the federal government," he said, "because the future of oil is not on state lands but on federal lands."
The state must have a better working relationship with the Feds. If not, he warned, "Alaska will only be seen as a yes man to industry" and will lose influence to shape decisions.
As Itta spoke, Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell stood in the doorway of the conference room, listening to the mayor's criticism. Treadwell could not be reached for comment after the conference, and a Parnell spokeswoman did not return a phone call Tuesday. The three-day conference at Alyeska Resort in Girdwood was sponsored by the Alaska Dispatch and various business organizations.
In an interview after his speech, Itta cited the conflict over the state's coastal zone management program as an example of Parnell ignoring local input. The program, which has been in place since the 1970s, is set to expire this month because a measure to reauthorize it fell apart in the Legislature. The dispute centered largely on whether local knowledge should carry equal weight to scientific evidence.
In losing the program, the state also loses a formal voice in federal decision-making on projects that take place on federal land or offshore but often affect nearby communities.
"It's a shame," Itta said, about the loss of the program. "It's a very good example of what this has turned into, the divisive issue that it should not be."
In the speech as well as the interview, Itta said the state is failing to provide the necessary leadership that would lead to collaboration with federal officials and the oil industry.
Instead, the North Slope Borough has been the one to forge a new partnership with Shell Oil Co. when it comes to offshore oil development. For instance, he said, the borough has convinced Shell to close down drilling operations during the annual bowhead whale migration, something the company agreed to do without a rule or regulation being put in place.
The state's unwillingness to cooperate with federal officials makes it harder for the government to strike a balance in development decisions and state residents and local communities suffer, he contends.
"We're missing opportunities to influence federal decisions and to bring Alaskans together at the same time," Itta said. "The North Slope is a long way from Juneau … and Juneau is a long way from Washington, D.C."

This is unit is probably the strength of our team, not just because we have multiple Pro Bowl caliber players, but also because it has more depth than any other unit. However, there are definitely some huge decisions to be made on this unit. Lets take at look at what we have going into the offseason:
OLB: Brian Orakpo, Ryan Kerrigan, Rob Jackson, Lorenzo Alexander, Markus White: Strength of the team. We literally do nothing here besides maybe a practice squad guy to push White. Jackson has made the most of his time and always seems to have a knack for being around the ball. Lorenzo is just an awesome Redskin who plays the OLB well, but could probably play any position on the front 7 in a pinch. He is a great special teamer. There aren't enough great things to say about Zo. Markus White is too young and raw to tell anything at this point, but he showed flashes in the preseason. I'm actually very intrigued by him and look forward to following his growth as a Redskin. And oh yea, those Orakpo and Kerrigan guys are pretty good too. They could both be Pro Bowlers this year.
ILB: London Fletcher (FA), Perry Riley, Rocky McIntosh (FA), Keyaron Fox (FA): Fletcher is a free agent but it looks like the Redskins have every intention of making him them top priority in free agency. Hopefully inking Fletcher to a 2 or 3 year deal (or a backloaded 4) is just a mere formality at this point. Every Skins fan should want to see this man retire a Redskin. Riley was a pleasant surprise in his second year, proving himself a capable starter in the NFL. The best part is that he is only 23 right now and can only get better. McIntosh seems expendable now that Riley is fit for the job and always had at least one foot in the Shanahan (or Haslett) doghouse. He is probably a better fit for a 4-3 OLB. The divorce works on all levels. I would like to see Fox back as depth capable of manning the position in an emergency and for his special teams prowess. With McIntosh likely out, the Redskins will look to add depth here. Lets take a look at the most reasonable options:
FA: Jameel McClain (BAL), Jonathan Goff (NYG), Lofa Tatupu (SEA)
Draft: Chris Marve (VAND), James-Michael Johnson (NEV), Korey Williams (Southern Miss)
There are better free agency options out there, but we already have our starters. They guys I listed seem like they could potentially sign as third stringers and be within our price range, but they could also find starting jobs somewhere, besides Tatupu. Honestly, I am not interested in this crop of free agent linebackers and feel that with the state of the depth chart, drafting a ILB is an ideal option. Marve is a name that I've heard thrown around a bit and Williams is another potential option that both fall within the 4-7 round range where we will probably be looking at an ILB. James-Michael Johnson, however, is a guy I truly hope we get. I watched some of his tape and noticed a few things. He moves very well. He has incredible instincts. Every play he seemed to know exactly where to be on the field. If he had coverage responsibilities, he blanketed his man. He is a little small, but has great pursuit. If larger defenders can tie up the other teams blocker, he gets to ball carrier very efficiently. His coverage skills are what really stand out. That is special for an ILB. Almost anyone in the league can fill the gaps and stop the run, but Johnson's potential to be effective in pass coverage makes him a special prospect. I would be thrilled to get him in the 5th. Hell, I would be thrilled to get him in the 4th.
Potential 2012 Linebacker Depth:
OLB: Orakpo, Kerrigan, Jackson, Alexander, White
ILB: Fletcher, Riley, Johnson, Fox
Elite unit. Stays pretty much the same, but replace Rocky with a developmental project in Johnson.
Review of my current offseason projections (based on Offensive Line, Defensive Line and Defensive Backs Primers):
Significant releases/non tenders: Laron Landry, OJ Atogwe, Will Montgomery, Rocky McIntosh, Jamaal Brown, Phillip Buchanon
1- Ryan Tannehill (QB - Texas A&M)
2- Mike Adams (OT - Ohio State)
3- Kevin Zeitler (G - Wisconsin)
4- Brandon Taylor (S - LSU)
4- Michael Brewster (C - Ohio State)
5- James-Michael Johnson (LB - Nevada)
7- (Not used yet)
FA (significant cap figures only):
ILB London Fletcher - 3 years, 18 million
C Chris Meyers - 4 years, 25 million
NT Paul Soliai - 5 years, 28 million
CB Terrell Thomas - 5 years, 25 million
DE Adam Carriker - 3 years, 9 million
S Sean Jones - 3 years, 6 million
G Kory Lichtensteiger - 1 year (RFA tender), ~2 million
Only about 30 million against the cap here and we are going in 45 million under, before releasing any players or counting our cap bonus from last year. That gives us enough room to sign our rookies and add 1 or 2 more free agents, including one of the marquee WR on the market. Am I in favor of a big splash like that? Stay tuned for my Offseason Position Primers: Wide Receivers and Tight Ends. Coming tomorrow.

Physicians for Human RightsUsing science and medicine to stop human rights violations
For Immediate Release
Round 8 of Global Fund Set to Begin March 1; See PHR's Guide for Developing Proposals
Cambridge, Mass - 02/29/2008
Round 8 of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria launches on March 1, 2008. The Global Fund permits applicants to seek support for health system strengthening actions that are necessary to overcome health system constraints to improved outcomes in combating any or all of its three priority diseases. Applicants should review the exact criteria in the Global Fund's Round 8 Guidelines for Proposals, which should be available on the Global Fund's website on March 1.
PHR strongly encourages countries to take advantage of this opportunity, using Round 8 to overcoming fundamental health system and human resource constraints to successful and sustained scale-up of HIV, TB, and malaria interventions, including as appropriate by using Round 8 to fund portions of national health workforce strategies. For more, see the Health Workforce Advocacy Initiative call to action on Global Fund Round 8.
In 2007, PHR developed the Guide to Using Round 7 of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to Support Health Systems Strengthening. That Guide was developed as a technical guide for thinking about and developing proposals that include health system strengthening activities, and to help motivate countries to use the Global Fund to support such activities. Much of that Guide remains relevant to Round 8. While sections addressing the Global Fund Round 7 Guidelines for Proposals have been removed, please be sure to carefully review the Round 8 Guidelines for Proposals and ensure that your proposal fully conforms to those current Guidelines.
See PHR's Guide to Using Round 7 of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to Support Health Systems Strengthening, adapted in February 2008 for Round 8 of the Global Fund.

a little bit of everything
Hello! My name is Kim. I created this blog as a place for me to compile all of my, well, everything. I have been trying to separate "work" and "personal" in the blogging world for way too long. So here at tickledpink studios, you will be sure to find a little bit of everything. The reason I picked up my first "real" camera to begin with was so I could learn to capture the moments in my every day life that, unfortunately will not last forever. You will mostly see pictures on this blog, but don't be surprised if you happen upon some fun adventures, family journaling, graphic design, crafting, cooking, baking, organizing, chaos, funny kid quotes, and anything else I feel like doing, saying or creating at the moment. Years from now, I hope to look back and be "tickled pink" because I did such a good job documenting the things in my life that make me enjoy it.

It is colder this morning,
and it will be much cooler this afternoon compared to the past few days.
Tonight will be colder, with a wide-spread freeze Thursday morning.
Winds will generally be in the 10 to 20 MPH range during the daylight hours today and tomorrow. There will be a jump in wind speeds and temperatures Friday afternoon, with more wind Saturday. The windy conditions will proceed another low pressure area moving our way.
Currently it looks like the low will approach the South Plains Monday, and pass over the area Tuesday. That will bring a slight chance of showers to West Texas.

Backpacker Magazine – October 2006
John Donovan disappeared in a high-elevation blizzard, leaving rescuers and friends stumped. His backpack contained a miracle clue. Bill Donahue investigates.
Now she was up above 7,000 feet, in a tank top and a windbreaker. Day returned after his unsuccessful reconnaissance mission, and the two sat and waited. "It made perfect sense to us," he says, "that rangers were out looking for us with flashlights and bullhorns."
At a spot several miles down-hill from them, exactly one year earlier, Donovan had less confidence. In his journal, he conceded that Ken Baker had been "the smart one." He regretted not heeding his advice about waiting, and told Baker he wanted to be buried in a Navy cemetery. On May 11, he celebrated his 60th birthday by eating two of his crackers.
In his last entry, dated May 14, he scribbled that he was going down to Long Creek for water. "Goodbye and love you all," he wrote.
The rangers never showed up, so in the morning, after shivering all night in the 45°F chill, Day and Allen decided to climb up San Jacinto to be more visible. The two made it almost to the summit, Day says, around noon. But they saw no one, and after yelling in vain for help, they made a snap decision. "We couldn't sleep there, up high, in the cold," says Day.
Riverside County SAR veteran Pete Carlson says Day and Allen should have followed a ridgeline down. "They'd be visible," he says, "and the descent would be gradual." Instead, they thrashed deeper into Long Valley, encountering an increasingly steep slope marred with gravel, weeds, and impassable boulders. Day, a chess player, tried to think "five moves ahead." But the mountain kept vexing them. At one point, he says, "We were going down this steep, gravelly slope, and I got to a 10-foot dropoff. I'm hanging onto a vine to ease down, and then I see this boulder tumbling at me. I swung out over the cliff, holding the vine, and the rock tumbled by."
They feared Long Creek was filled with microbes, but in time they drank from it to avoid dehydration. But they were famished. "By the third night," Day says, "we were running out of bullets."
Allen prayed. Raised Catholic, she prayed to St. Christopher, the patron saint of travelers, and to St. Anthony, the patron saint of the lost.
John Donovan would not likely have shrugged off this uncanny coincidence. He was not, at his core, a logical or technical person, and he saw the world as shaped by forces beyond reason. It's no surprise, really, that a man who was orphaned as a boy believed in the power of random luck, both good and bad, and in saints and the karmic value of doing good unto others. He also likely adhered to the notion of "trail magic"–a term thru-hikers use to explain the unexplainable good things that happen on a trail.
But Donovan also clearly figured out that good things don't just happen; you make them happen. And maybe some lingering thread of his generous spirit occupied Long Valley that day when Brandon Day spied a yellow backpack down below. The pair went to look. Inside, along with some clothes, was Donovan's journal, with an entry dated May 8. Allen was ecstatic. "He's got to be nearby," she said. "That's today!"
"But the entry was dated May 8, 2005," says Day. "Exactly a year before. It sank in that somebody died there. Mr. Donovan was prepared and he had supplies. But still, he didn't survive."

ya I agree I also dont understand why if John donavan was such A big part of them surviving,why he didnt get recognized more,He evidently went through way more than mutt and jeff did.stay on the path dumby,thats what its for.

Saw him on date from hell I shouldn't be alive
this is a very touching story.
im glad to have encountered it
The more hikers I meet, the more I am astonished to learn that many cannot read a topo map well, or even read that compass that they carry.
Yet they chant their misinformed, wrong headed, opinions that the PCT is "too well marked" for hikers to get into trouble.
If you don't know how to navigate, start practicing. Learning to use a compass is actually pretty easy once you wrap your thoughts around it.
A compass is considered the FIRST tool of navigation. The gps is considered the SECOND, or plan B, tool to use.
In a white out blizzard, you can't see. But you can use that compass (or gps) to find your way to some sort of safety such as a hut, or tool shed, or descending trail so that you don't have to bushwhack and die like Mr. Donovan.
Don't run your mouth and be the fool. If you can't navigate, great, but don't chant to others that they should risk their safety to satisfy your own foolish lack of skills.
Ozzy B. are you serious? Your funny! You said, "you go girl!" in response to hearing they broke up? It was two years later you moron! I almost think your comments were more shocking than that incredible story. My Gosh you suck.
Ozzy B. are you serious? Your funny! You said, "you go girl!" in response to hearing they broke up? It was two years later you moron! I almost think your comments were more shocking than that incredible story. My Gosh you suck.
This is the stupidest episode yet. Gina Allen was worried about her bad breath?! This is simply natural selection at play.
I watched that episode of "shouldn't be alive", and i have to concur. they should call that installment "almost to dumb to survive".
"Though he trekked 4,000 miles a year, he was in some ways an amateur."
Is there such a thing as a proffesional "Hiker"?
Very interesting and intriguing story. Jon Krakauer, where are you? There is a book to be written here.

Oregon Fishing
Catching the Elusive Oregon Coast Dungeness
Catching Dungeness Crab on the Oregon Coast is a year-round sport in the estuaries, coastal rivers and tidal bays. In the ocean, crab season is closed from August 15th through November 30th. The best weather to go in is mild to sunny weather. Sustained rains bring fresh water. They are salt-water creatures and heavy rains force them out to sea because of the sudden lack of salt water.
Coastal Salmon Restoration
"We, the people of Oregon, promise to do our best to understand and respect the needs of salmon, and to make meaningful commitments in the way we conduct our lives, in the hope that salmon and people will survive and flourish, together long into the future."
Fishing Information
