Atriarch Signs With Relapse Records
Relapse Records is extremely proud to announce the signing of Portland, OR blackened death/doom quartet Atriarch.
Formed in 2009, Atriarch has released two full lengths including "Forever the End" in 2011 via Seventh Rule and "Ritual of Passing" in 2012 via Profound Lore, plus a split with Alaric on 20 Buck Spin.
The band will enter the studio this June with producer Billy Anderson (Sleep, Eyehategod, Agalloch) to record a third full-length and Relapse debut. The group commented on the upcoming material:
"We are constantly evolving as artists and we want to do something new with each release. Having said that it will always be dark and heavy and honestly reflect how we feel. Atriarch is a manifestation of our catharsis."
The band also states: "It is an honor to be joining the ranks of Relapse Records. We are truly privileged to be able to stand along side so many great acts as peers."
Atriarch Bassist Needs Donations For Medical Costs
Atriarch has checked in with the following announcement about bassist Joe Wickstrom needing fan support with medical bills:

Atriarch Finishes New Album
Portland, Oregon Atrirach has completed work on a new full-length album titled "Ritual Of Passing," which is set for release on October 30th, 2012. Profound Lore Records comments:
"Following up the acclaimed 'Forever The End' debut from last year, Atriarch would slowly develop a strong distinct identity through an amalgamation of deathrock, classic '80s goth, doom and black metal respectively. An intriguing mix which would mirror the powerful aesthetic and vibe brought forth from such bands as Bauhaus, Joy Division, The Cure, Christian Death, The Gault, and Asunder.
"Through several years of trial, as the band would gradually develop and define their sound, 'Ritual Of Passing' (which also features a guest appearance by Jessica Way of Worm Ouroboros on the closing track) is the becoming result of this chaos-embracing culmination, the masterpiece the band have been threatening to create since their inception in 2009.
"A harrowing, religious sonic offering drenched and drowning in wall-of-sound-like atmosphere commanded by the sermon-like vocals of Lenny Smith. Bleak, haunting, oppressive, and violent 'Ritual Of Passing' will serve as one of the most intriguing and commanding albums of the year."
The album's track listing is:
1. Parasite
2. Prayer
3. Altars
4. Altruist
5. Offerings
6. Cursed

You can use formulas and functions in lists or libraries to calculate data in a variety of ways. By adding a calculated column to a list or library, you can create a formula that includes data from other columns and performs functions to calculate dates and times, to perform mathematical equations, or to manipulate text. For example, on a tasks list, you can use a column to calculate the number of days it takes to complete each task, based on the Start Date and Date Completed columns.
Note This article describes the basic concepts related to using formulas and functions. For specific information about a particular function, see the article about that function.
Formulas are equations that perform calculations on values in a list or library. A formula starts with an equal sign (=). For example, the following formula multiplies 2 by 3 and then adds 5 to the result.
You can use a formula in a calculated column and to calculate default values for a column. A formula can contain functions (function: A prewritten formula that takes a value or values, performs an operation, and returns a value or values. Use functions to simplify and shorten formulas on a worksheet, especially those that perform lengthy or complex calculations.), column references, operators (operator: A sign or symbol that specifies the type of calculation to perform within an expression. There are mathematical, comparison, logical, and reference operators.), and constants (constant: A value that is not calculated and, therefore, does not change. For example, the number 210, and the text "Quarterly Earnings" are constants. An expression, or a value resulting from an expression, is not a constant.), as in the following example.
A formula might use one or more of the elements from the previous table. Here are some examples of formulas (in order of complexity).
The following formulas contain constants and operators.
The following formulas refer to other columns in the same list or library.
The following formulas call built-in functions.
The following formulas specify one or more functions as function arguments.
The IF function returns the difference between the values in columns A and B, or 10.
The SUM function adds the return value of the IF function and the value in column C.
The PI function returns the number 3.141592654.
The DEGREES function converts a value specified in radians to degrees. This formula returns the value 180.
The FIND function searches for the string BD in Column1 and returns the starting position of the string. It returns an error value if the string is not found.
The ISNUMBER function returns Yes if the FIND function returned a numeric value. Else, it returns No.
Top of Page
Functions are predefined formulas that perform calculations by using specific values, called arguments, in a particular order, or structure. Functions can be used to perform simple or complex calculations. For example, the following instance of the ROUND function rounds off a number in the Cost column to two decimal places.
=ROUND([Cost], 2)
The following vocabulary is helpful when you are learning functions and formulas:
Structure The structure of a function begins with an equal sign (=), followed by the function name, an opening parenthesis, the arguments for the function separated by commas, and a closing parenthesis.
Function name This is the name of a function that is supported by lists or libraries. Each function takes a specific number of arguments, processes them, and returns a value.
Arguments Arguments can be numbers, text, logical values such as True or False, or column references. The argument that you designate must produce a valid value for that argument. Arguments can also be constants, formulas, or other functions.
In certain cases, you may need to use a function as one of the arguments of another function. For example, the following formula uses a nested AVERAGE function and compares the result with the sum of two column values.
=AVERAGE([Cost1], SUM([Cost2]+[Discount]))
Valid returns When a function is used as an argument, it must return the same type of value that the argument uses. For example, if the argument uses Yes or No, then the nested function must return Yes or No. If it doesn't, the list or library displays a #VALUE! error value.
Nesting level limits A formula can contain up to eight levels of nested functions. When Function B is used as an argument in Function A, Function B is a second-level function. In the example above for instance, the SUM function is a second-level function because it is an argument of the AVERAGE function. A function nested within the SUM function would be a third-level function, and so on.
A reference identifies a cell in the current row and indicates to a list or library where to search for the values or data that you want to use in a formula. For example, [Cost] references the value in the Cost column in the current row. If the Cost column has the value of 100 for the current row, then =[Cost]*3 returns 300.
With references, you can use the data that is contained in different columns of a list or library in one or more formulas. Columns of the following data types can be referenced in a formula: single line of text, number, currency, date and time, choice, yes/no, and calculated.
You use the display name of the column to reference it in a formula. If the name includes a space or a special character, you must enclose the name in square brackets ([ ]). References are not case-sensitive. For example, you can reference the Unit Price column in a formula as [Unit Price] or [unit price].
A constant is a value that is not calculated. For example, the date 10/9/2008, the number 210, and the text "Quarterly Earnings" are all constants. Constants can be of the following data types:
String constants are enclosed in quotation marks and can include up to 255 characters.
Numeric constants can include decimal places and can be positive or negative.
Date constants require the use of the DATE(year,month,day) function.
Yes and No are Boolean constants. You can use them in conditional expressions. In the above example, if Cost is greater than Revenue, the IF function returns Yes, and the formula returns the string "Loss". If Cost is equal to or less than Revenue, the function returns No, and the formula returns the string "No Loss".
Operators specify the type of calculation that you want to perform on the elements of a formula. Lists and libraries support three different types of calculation operators: arithmetic, comparison, and text.
Use the following arithmetic operators to perform basic mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, or multiplication; to combine numbers; or to produce numeric results.
You can compare two values with the following operators. When two values are compared by using these operators, the result is a logical value of Yes or No.
Use the ampersand (&) to join, or concatenate, one or more text strings to produce a single piece of text.
Formulas calculate values in a specific order. A formula might begin with an equal sign (=). Following the equal sign are the elements to be calculated (the operands), which are separated by calculation operators. Lists and libraries calculate the formula from left to right, according to a specific order for each operator in the formula.
If you combine several operators in a single formula, lists and libraries perform the operations in the order shown in the following table. If a formula contains operators with the same precedence — for example, if a formula contains both a multiplication operator and a division operator — lists and libraries evaluate the operators from left to right.
To change the order of evaluation, enclose in parentheses the part of the formula that is to be calculated first. For example, the following formula produces 11 because a list or library calculates multiplication before addition. The formula multiplies 2 by 3 and then adds 5 to the result.
In contrast, if you use parentheses to change the syntax, the list or library adds 5 and 2 together and then multiplies the result by 3 to produce 21.
In the example below, the parentheses around the first part of the formula force the list or library to calculate [Cost]+25 first and then divide the result by the sum of the values in columns EC1 and EC2.

Happy Australia Day everybody. I wanted to take a photo with a face that would transcend the time period the photo was taken in. I stayed on the river bank with the 300mm lens fully extended and took this which didn't turn out as sharp as I would have liked, but I like the iconic image of indigenous Australia, his face is ancient.

I have seen some of the veteran sites out there that offer old photographs of Korea but Bruce Richard's site is the best archive of old photographs of USFK facilities I have seen yet. Using Bruce's picture archives I present a pictorial history of Camp Stanley:
For those that have been stationed at Camp Stanley before, the above image of tent city is starkly different from what has been built on the camp today. Not only is the camp extremely different but so is the terrain because Suraksan Mountain in the background looks completely deforested compared to the thickly forested slopes of the mountain today.
In this aerial photo from 1955 the rice paddies that still surround the camp to this day can be seen:
This next image from 1961 shows how much development took place in less then 10 years with all the tents replace with quonset huts and other permanent buildings:
This next image shows a 1964 image of the "ville" adjacent to Camp Stanley:
The first real barracks built on Camp Stanley with some of these barracks still visible today were constructed in 1970:
Here is what the front gate of Camp Stanley looked like in 1975:
Here is an image of Camp Stanley from the 1980′s:
The large quonset hut building in the picture above was what was used as the Camp Stanley PX until the new facility was opened in 2005. Needless to say the new PX was a huge upgrade compared to the old one.
Here is an aerial picture of what Camp Stanley looks like today:
In the above aerial image you can see Camp Stanley in the middle of the image while Stanleyville is the area with the blue roofed buildings on the left. The Uijongbu Prison can be seen on the right side of the picture. The fields of rice that could be seen in the earlier images, like I said before are still visible today around Camp Stanley and are worked by the prisoners housed at the correctional facility.
Finally here is one last image of the current Camp Stanley front gate:
I hope everyone enjoyed this quick pictorial history of Camp Stanley which it appears the camp's days are numbered depending on the success of the USFK transformation plan ever happening. With the current Korean governmental delay games it is probably an even bet that Camp Stanley will probably be operating for another decade or more.
Note: Make sure to check out the complete archives available on Bruce Richard's site because I just cherried picked some of the best photos to create this pictorial history with. There are literally hundreds of great photos on the site definitely worth checking out.

Legendary musician Lauryn Hill has paid off her huge tax debt, the day before being sentenced on federal evasion charges.
The star owed more than $900,000 in back taxes and penalties after failing to file tax returns on more than $1.8 million of income between 2005 and 2007.
Each charge could earn her up to a year in jail, but today her lawyer says they expect the judge will go easy considering the debt has been repaid.
Lauryn Hill performs in London in April (WENN)
"Ms Hill has not only now fully paid prior to sentencing her taxes, which are part of her criminal restitution, but she has additionally fully paid her federal and state personal taxes for the entire period under examination through 2009," her attorney, Nathan Hochman, said in an email, according to Reuters.
She had apparently planned to raise the money she owed with a new recording contract, but only $50,000 was raised by that route.
She then secured a loan through two pieces of real estate.
Hochman said the money she raised to pay off her debt was not accumulated through record sales, although she did post a new song called Neurotic Society last week - her first in seven years.

So before we get started on this scouting report on our very own Dougie Hamilton, I'll have to apologize in advance if this isn't too good, I'm new at this.
Anyway, a speedy introduction; I'm a Rhode Island born, New Hampshire raised life-long Bruins fan, whose father used to take his life in his hands to watch Bruins-Habs games with the French Canadian family down the street in Cumberland, RI back in the Orr-Esposito days, so the B's are in my blood. That said, I currently live in Sudbury, Ontario and don't get to see much Bruins hockey unless they're playing the Habs or Leafs on HNIC. But, I did have the very good fortune to see our very own Dougie Hamilton of the Niagara Ice Dogs last night playing the Sudbury Wolves, so below the jump I've got a few thoughts on the game and his play. Again, I'm new at this and make no promises about the quality of my report.Anyway, I went into the game honestly not knowing too much about Dougie, apart from the fact that by all accounts he was A) Really good, B) Pretty darn big, and C) Scoring at an almost unbelievable pace from the blue line. It was not long at all before I was able to see all this for myself.
First off, the kid is huge. Friggin gigantic- the Ice Dogs are a big team to begin with, most of them tower over the munchkin-like Wolves, but Dougie is on another level entirely- to give you some idea, he is head and shoulders taller than his older brother Freddie, who is taller than average himself. This makes Dougie really stand out on the ice, and at times it almost looks like hes playing against Timbits players [note: gross hyperbole]. But on top of that, he can really move. He skates fast and gracefully, with fantastic dekes past opposing players while dangling the puck like its attached to his stick. More than anything his puck handling stood out for me to be fully honest- probably the best on the ice, and thats saying a lot, what with two other first round picks from last year on the team (Ryan Strome (NYI, 8th overall) and recent trade acquisition Jamie Oleksiak (DAL, 14th overall), both of whom are forwards.
I was extremely impressed with Dougie's playmaking on top of that- 2 of his 3 assists last night were the sole assist on his brother Freddie's 2 goals (incidentally I think the Sharks won big scoring him in the third round in 2010 based on what I saw, but this isn't about Freddie). His passing and eyes for the play were excellent- both on even strength and on the power play- I think he might finally be that PP quarterback we've been needing and were told that first Kaberle and now Corvo would be. Sadly I didn't see the kid score any goals himself (and he can score even though hes mostly a playmaker- he's 12-37-49 in only 33 games this season), but he did have a few booming slappers from the point, which sadly the Wolves very talented goaltender Johan Mattsson (of the Swedish WJC team) stopped. Ah, such is the way it goes.
Defensively, Hamilton could use perhaps a little work- I will say his backcheck is good, and he seems to know where to be on the ice, but doesn't seem to use his big body quite enough, although that might be because he is either not quite 'grown into' it, so to speak, or is afraid of injuring other players, but I did see him throw a few nice hits in his own end. His stick handling, however, does seem to extend past controlling the puck though, as he did almost effortlessly take the puck right off an opponent's stick a few times- at least once the other guy didn't realize it had happened. The only catch I saw was that it was Dougie's defensive pairing that as on ice for the Wolves' second goal, but nobody's perfect and the kid has room for growth.
All in all, I was very impressed, and he really looked like he doesn't belong in the juniors. I have every confidence that he will be wearing the spoked B in the 2012-2013 season, which will give (IMHO) to save some cash and let Corvo walk in the off season.
Cheers to all and GO BRUINS!!!

(Only available on ESPN Insider)
Kansas City Chiefs
Top needs: S, ILB, OL, WR, NT, TE, CB, OLB
First round (5): S Eric Berry
Second round (36, 50): DT Terrence Cody, WR Eric Decker
Third round (68): LB Donald Butler
Fourth round (102): QB Mike Kafka
Summary: The Chiefs have the chance to do a lot with three picks inside the top 50 in a draft this deep, and they hit needs here (which is good, because arguably no team outside of Detroit has more). Berry is a star-in-waiting, and the comparisons to Ed Reed won't go away until he proves otherwise. Cody is as projectable a player as there is in the whole draft. He's the best true anchor for the 3-4 you can find on the entire board. Decker was hugely productive in college and is a physical type who will fight for the ball, and Butler should step in well as an inside linebacker in that scheme. Kafka is a competitor you can develop.
Wow. What a draft it would be if it could go down like this. Except throw out the QB pick. I don't even know who the hell he is. First we get the our playmaking Safety, then our NT who will make our linebackers look at least average, a very underrated WR who would be a great fit for us, and an ILB who could potentially start but he needs to add a little strength to his small frame. All in all you have to like what Kiper did here.

Book of Philemon:
Forgiveness shines like a brilliant light throughout the Bible, and one of its brightest spots is the tiny book of Philemon. In this short personal letter, the Apostle Paul asks his friend Philemon to extend forgiveness to a runaway slave named Onesimus.
Neither Paul nor Jesus Christ tried to abolish slavery. It was too entrenched a part of the Roman Empire. Their mission was to preach the gospel. Philemon was one of those people saved by that gospel, in the church at Colossae. Paul reminded Philemon of that, as he urged him to accept the newly converted Onesimus back, not as a lawbreaker or his slave, but as a fellow brother in Christ.
Author of the Book of Philemon:
Philemon is one of Paul's four Prison Epistles.
Date Written:
Approximately 60 to 62 A.D.
Written To:
Philemon, a wealthy Christian at Colossae, and all future readers of the Bible.
Landscape of Philemon:
Paul was imprisoned in Rome when he wrote this personal letter. It was addressed to Philemon and to the other members of the church at Colossae who met in Philemon's house.
Themes in the Book of Philemon:
• Forgiveness is a key theme. Just as God forgives us, he expects us to forgive others, as we find in the Lord's Prayer. Paul even offered to pay Philemon for anything Onesimus had stolen.
• Equality exists among believers. Although Onesimus was a slave, Paul asked Philemon to consider him the same as him, a brother in Christ. Paul was an apostle, an exalted position, but he appealed to Philemon as a fellow Christian instead of a church authority figure.
• Grace is a gift from God, and out of gratitude, we can show grace to others. Jesus constantly commanded his disciples to love one another, and that the difference between them and pagans would be how they showed love. Paul requested that same kind of love from Philemon, which runs contrary to our human instinct.
Key Characters in Philemon:
Paul, Onesimus, Philemon.
Key Verses:
Philemon 1:15-16
Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever--no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord. (NIV)
Philemon 1:17-19
So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back--not to mention that you owe me your very self. (NIV)
Outline of the Book of Philemon:
• Paul commends Philemon for his faithfulness as a Christian - Philemon 1-7.
• Paul appeals to Philemon to forgive Onesimus and receive him as a brother - Philemon 8-25.
• Old Testament Books of the Bible (Index)
• New Testament Books of the Bible (Index)

Comment (10)
Fantastic! I am certainly going to use these in my classroom.
Rewards and punishments do not result in good behaviour.
I agree with eileenfreelybaker - rewards and punishments only ever seem to prolong dysfunctional whats-in-it-for-me relationships. I wonder why we (as a body of teachers) are so wedded to the idea that 'points mean prizes' works in education.
As an inexperienced teacher, I'd be interested to hear if eileenfreelybaker and stillrollingalong have any better or different ideas to promote good behaviour and effort in class. Any tips greatly appreciated.
Excellent information on behaviour management
Now that depend upon the climate under which the rewards are given surely? If it coercive then of course, it would simply be seen as a bribe, and will have no impact on behaviour or effort - at least intrinsically. However, if they are offered in reponse to a certain action or behaviour in a positive manner then surely they could illicit a response not disimilar to the learned industriousness theory. Sorry to get on my high horse; I do agree that rewards, under certain restrictive circumstances can be damaging, but let us not dismiss them altogether............
Although i agree with the comment "it promotes a whats in it for me realaltionship". It is purley dependant on how and when you use such rewards. The idea in encouragment take a step towards it then set your standards higher and stop issuing rewards for lesser tasks. Black and williams positive reinforcement and contructive criticism.
It seems as teachers nowadays are more interested in punishing the bad and not rewarding the good.
I teach across a broad range from KS1 - Secondary - FE and i use simply rewards like this across all sections even when teaching ILM lv 5 in management to top business men and it always gains a positive response if used correctly.
I agree with some of the comments regarding awards as being 'what's in it for me?' or a form of bribery. However, depending on the type of behavioural difficulty that is displayed in your classroom, sometimes 'rewarding' one child (albeit only for short term peace!) can be the difference between the other 29 children getting an education or not!
Id be much more interested in new strategies to cover the disillusioned 16-19 year-old students who flatly refuse to do any work outside college, cannot see the value of education and have many, many issues that they are unable to escape from - however hard they try!! Oh, and they have a level of Literacy two or three times below the "level" of their main course . . .
I am facing the difficulty with "not to be their chum". Some pupils are really good folks and it is intersting for me to chat with them about different questions. But they start to talk with me like I am their mate. Then I show the distance, but I don't want them to turn away from me beacuse of it. How to set the bondaries without losing their good attitude.

How to Meditate: A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your Mindby Pema Chodron
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"When something is bothering you — a person is bugging you, a situation is irritating you, or physical pain is bothering you — you must work with your mind, and that is done through meditation. Working with our mind is the only means through which we'll actually begin to feel happy and contented with the world that we live in."
--Pema Chödrön
Pema Chödrön is treasured around the world for her unique ability to transmit teachings and practices that bring peace, understanding, and compassion into our lives. With How to Meditate, the American-born Tibetan Buddhist nun presents her first book exploring in-depth what she considers the essentials for a lifelong practice.
More and more people are beginning to recognize a profound inner longing for authenticity, connection, and aliveness. Meditation, Pema explains, gives us a golden key to address this yearning. This step-by-step guide shows readers how to honestly meet and openly relate with the mind, embrace the fullness of our experience, and live in a wholehearted way as we discover:
"I think ultimately why we practice is so that we can become completely loving people, and this is what the world needs," writes Pema Chödrön. How to Meditate is a long-overdue book from this wise teacher to assist each one of us in this virtuous goal.
About the Author
Ani Pema Chödrön was born Deirdre Blomfield-Brown in 1936, in New York City. She attended Miss Porter's School in Connecticut and graduated from the University of California at Berkeley. She taught as an elementary school teacher for many years in both New Mexico and California. Pema has two children and three grandchildren.
While in her mid-thirties, Ani Pema traveled to the French Alps and encountered Lama Chime Rinpoche, with whom she studied for several years. She became a novice nun in 1974 while studying with Lama Chime in London. His Holiness the Sixteenth Karmapa came to Scotland at that time, and Ani Pema received her ordination from him.

A stirring Youth Philharmonic Orchestra concert
The scene: the Shaghoian Concert Hall on Sunday evening for the "Love Conquers All" dessert-auction fund raiser for the Youth Orchestras of Fresno. On stage: the 120 members of the advanced Youth Philharmonic Orchestra, looking elegantly older than their years in concert dress, with a nearly full house of family, friends and opera lovers in the audience.
On the podium: the always energetic Thomas Loewenheim, who manages to seem both crisply professional and indulgently paternalistic when it comes to contemplating his vast brood of budding musicians.
The entrance: First the orchestra performs the prelude to "Rigoletto." Then, as the players strike up the opening notes of the famous aria "La donna e mobile" — if I could just hum a few bars in print I'm sure you'd instantly take up the tune — we hear the soloist, Scott Piper, from the back of the auditorium. He strides down the side aisle and then through the center of the house, voice booming, and as he passes directly in front of my seat, I swear I can actually feel the sound vibrations emanating from him. He's like a human sub-woofer.
The energy: It's palpable. Piper, an acclaimed professional singer, has a joyous, infectiously warm demeanor that makes clear he loves opera — and these kids. As for the musicians, accompanying opera singers is a tough business, and even when the orchestra sounds young in terms of musical texture and intonation, the attitude and self-confidence of the players is positively grown-up.
The diva: Layna Chianakas is on hand, too, making a fitting professional companion to Piper, pouring much more emotion and drama into her arias than you usually see in a concert setting.
The encore: After a boisterous finale of "Carmen," Piper takes the stage one last time for the wildly popular "Nessun dorma." He's joined at the conclusion by Chianakas, ending the evening on a sweeping, extravagant note. For a concert built around an intermission bidding on fancy desserts, the folks with musical sweet tooths were the ones who walked out with the real sugar high.

BRIGHTON – City Council was set to consider amending an ordinance to remove the current term limitations for professional members of Brighton's Historic Preservation Commission during its Jan. 21 council meeting.
According to Commission Chairman Joe Burt, the city decided to use the standard term limits that are used with all boards and commissions – two, four year terms – when the ordinance was initially drafted.
In order to considered in the state's certified local government program, the state requires at least three professional members – such as architects and historians – must sit on the board. Burt said that architects and historians are hard to come by and it's even harder to meet those requirements when those professional seats are term limited.
"We're seeking to make a slight modification to the ordinance that would allow our professional members to not be term limited, essentially, that would allow them to continue on as they do," he said. "The reason this comes up is we have two of our commission members this year who will have their terms expire in June."
Burt emphasized that the removal of term limits would only pertain to professional members of the board. In a letter he wrote to council on behalf of the commission, he said removing the term limits does not remove council's control of the commission appointments as provisions in the city's code require that all members be appointed at each term by council. Council also has the authority to remove a commission member at time.
In other business:
— Tami Tanoue, General Counsel and Claims Manager with Colorado Intergovernmental Risk Sharing Agency, gave new and current council members some pointers to help them with their roles as council members. Items she addressed included understanding their role as council members, willful and wonton conduct, observing best practices in meetings and putting ethics first.
— City Attorney Margaret Brubaker gave an overview of amendments to the city's policies and procedures. She encouraged council members to look them over and said they would be going over them at a later date.
— Mayor Dick McLean accepted wish lists from council members as to what boards and commissions they would like to sit on. Appointments were scheduled to be made during council's Jan. 21 meeting. Council members also turned in their disclosure for conflicts of interest.
— Council reviewed interview questions for boards and commission members. Clerk Natalie Hoel said they will have interviews at the Jan. 28 study session.
— Public Information Officer Kristen Chernosky told council the community voice feature on the website will be starting soon, so the city can get feedback from residents on a number of topics. She also said the city will be starting a weekly newsletter that will be going out to residents who wish to receive it.
— Council's special meeting with the Youth Commission was postponed to a later date.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - Joe Coleman scored 29 points and Andre Hollins added 19 to help No. 8 Minnesota top Illinois Wednesday 84-67 and remain undefeated in the Big Ten.

Mbakwe added 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Brandon Paul led Illinois with 21 points.

beautiful red-orange color. clear, but head deminishes almost immediately. strong caramelly sweet malty aroma. maybe some fruit, but mostly just a sugary sweet smell. malty sweet flavor followed by a cooked vegetable overcast. very german noble hop character as well. drinks easy and has a nice medium mouthfeel with good carbonation. vegetable flavor hinders, though. not my style, as i've stated before, but i'm trying to get into the season! i love dominion, but it's just not happening for me.

Got this at my local Beef O'Brady's, they just wanted an Octoberfest beer for the season I think.
It came with almost no head, and looked almost flat. I saw them pour the beer and it didn't sit at all. An orange-amber color with no haze.
The nose detects almost nothing, maybe some grain.
The tongue catches some malt, slight bitterness and some grain. Very watery and flat feeling in the mouth.
I can drink these but it's about as good as a A&B Amber Bock, if it's fresh it's nice if not...

Maybe i just dont like the style...
Dark amber/brown with minimal head that dissipated quickly and no lacing. Smell is innocuous - toasty malts, caramel sweetness, and a hint of sourness. Body really killed this beer - effervescent to the point of stinging. Way too thin - no real substance.
I dont know - it's not bad, but i didnt really care for it.

Brought over for me by dkachur... thanks, Dan!
A: Clean, lighter gold... head is a little disappointing and doesn't last long, but the remains of it do leave some nice sticky lace on just over half the glass.
S + T: Bread 'n butter... some light caramel notes in both the aroma and on the palate (which also tastes like buttered bread!) but it's lacking a little outside of that. It still manages to be a decent beer, but something seems to be missing. It comes across to me more like a Vienna Lager than an Oktoberfest (but with a little bigger flavour profile, perhaps).
M + D: A bit of a sharp carbonated kick, sorta medium bodied, and a smooth finish. Drinking it is easy... might not be up to the flavour and aroma I've come to expect from the style, but it goes down really easily and would work just fine for a weekend of relaxing and putting a few back!

Pours a copper color into my glass with a sustaining 2-fingers thick of head that is white to a light tan in color. Body is somewhat hazy as well.
Aroma reminds me a lot of butterscotch as well as a white grapes or maybe even slight apple aroma. IT actually reminds me a bit of cider.
Flavors of caramel along with a crisp earthy hops hit my palate. Some slight fruit also comes out of this one, but rather bland honestly.
Very crisp and carbonation tingles my tongue a lot up front. Slight oily finish though.
Overall drinkability would be higher if a little less sweet I think. I really like Dominion brews, but this one misses the mark a little in my opinion. It'd make a solid session brew for a crisp autumn night though.

My wife brought me a couple of bottles of Dominion Octoberfest from a recent visit to the east coast. Poured in to a pint glass.
Appears a tarnished copper color and clear. A thin frothy off-white head builds and dissipates quickly.
Smell is faint, a sweet malted grain aroma, with a little floral peat fragrance.
Taste is a roasted sweet beat flavor, with a bit of a lager-ish acerbic character. Something of a biter smokey aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is fullbodied, but zesty. Well carbonated and clean.
As drinkable an O-fest as you could want to have. The lager style makes the taste a bit unusual.

Pours a bright golden coppery color with a thin, fast fading off white head. Smell is of roasted malt with notes of bread dough and sweet fruits. Taste strongly of malts and caramel with a hint of spice. Finish is nutty with a very light hoppiness coming through. Medium body with good carbonation.

Copper pour with a white head, decent retention
Aroma is of malts...not much else going for it. Rather mild
Taste is malty with little else going on. It has a slightly hoppy finish, but not enough..the malts end up being the major part of the already mild flavor profile
Mouthfeel is medium with decent carbonation
Well its drinkable..its not the best marzen out there, but I could easily have another one. And really, it isn't all that bad. I've just had better.

Sampled from a 12 oz bottle, poured into a pint glass at 45 degrees.
A - Poured a cloudy brown with orange highlights and a medium off-white head. Good carbonation and head retention.
S - Smells of spiced malt with hops lingering in the background...all scents are on the mild side.
T - Not as strong as I had hoped. Some fruity notes atop the caramel-malt, but not enough to make a strong presence. Finishes with citrus-hops.
M - Thin body with an aftertaste that starts mildly bitter, but ends a little sour.
D - Stands out, but not in a very positive way. I had picked up 6 different beers from the brewery, and this was the most disappointing...but I'd still suggest picking one up; if for no other reason, than to compare it to other Marzens.

12 oz bottle into a pilsner - fridge - no bottling date - probably fall 2009
Appearance: Transparent, copper colored, with a fleeting off-white head. Plenty of rising bubbles and no lacing left behind.
Smell: Lager yeast, tutti frutti, melange of malts, and no hop aroma.
Taste: Sweet with sugar, cereal, cherry, strawberry and some lager yeast. A noble hop aftertaste balances the beer well.
Mouthfeel: Sweet, medium bodied, some alcohol and hops in the finish. A solid beer.
Drinkability: A little sweet for me, but it is great for a festbier of which can usually be quite mild. I will drink another!

Nice head which fades with no lacing after about 2 minutes. A beautiful orange color in the glass. I have never had an Oktoberfest before, but if this brew is typical of the style, I'll have another.
Hoppy, but in a different way than I usually think of hoppiness. Much more tasty and not just bitter like I expected. The aftertaste lingers in the back of my throat and tastes like I think a beer this color and consistency "should".
All in all, another fine example of Dominion quality beer.

Holy smokes! I just found a review I had e-mailed to myself waaay back in August 2009. Was the site down? Was I simply too pressed for time to properly enter it? Who can say!
12 ounce bottle from Total Wine & More in Atlanta, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a near clear, darkened amber body with a half inch of off-white suds. A little lax in the lacing department.
Smell: Sweetish, malty nose with some bready aspects to it alongside some fruity estery and whiffs of mild, lightly spicy hops.
Taste: Light, bready German maltiness with a decidedly sugary sweetness to it. Some juicy berry-like fruitiness arrives early on. Light Noble hop character with a modest amount of steady spiciness to it and an overall mild bitterness. For me, the beer takes on an herbal, somewhat tea-like quality as it warms a tad. Finishes semi-dry and smooth.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-light carbonation. Fairly soft mouthfeel.
Drinkability: It's fair. While not one of the more richer, more graceful examples of the style, it goes down fairly easily. I gotta give it that!

$2 16oz. pints at CAH last Sunday.
Clear slight orangish-tinted amber. Finger-thin layer of off-white lace. Nice rings as the glass was drained. Hints of roasted malt and some caramel, backed up by some spice. Same for the flavor. Nothing awe-inspiring. More hoppy and bitter-dry in the finish than expected. There's some spices mixed in, but not very assertive. Decent mouthfeel. Not too drinkable. Not sure what the off-flavor was, but it just didn't "feel" like an Oktoberfest beer.

12oz bottle 6th August 2008, into my Guinness glass
A: Deep amber with a small light brown head that recedes to a disk. Plenty of carbonation. Solid!
S: Hoppy with some leafy hops. Mildly bready with some butterscotch that's rather unappealing. Mildly yeasty.
T: Overly bready with some caramel sweetness. Some butterscotch. Finish is dry and mildly hoppy and mildly sweet. Decent
M: Pleasing body and good carbonation but the finish is a little more bitter than i'd like
D: Solid stuff, glad I got to try it

Presentation: 12 oz. brown bottle, bottling date of 8/15/07 on the label, poured into an Oktoberfest mug.
Appearance: Pours a crystal clear deep reddish amber color, small carbonation bubbles rising within. The head formed a creamy off-white 2 fingers thick and faded into a relatively thick layer that retained nicely.
Aroma: Sweet toasted malts, hints of caramel and sugar as well.
Taste: Tasted caramel malts to start off, it goes kind of sweet in the middle with a slight hoppy bitterness showing through. The finish is sweet, with a slight smoky flavor lingering.
Mouthfeel: Light-medium bodied, a little watery. The carbonation was in good balance.
Overall: A decent Marzen beer, but not anything I'd spend time seeking out. Worth a try though.

A-dark amber with a thin light tan head
S-burnt bitter grains with a touch of dark honey.
T-comes in with a fairly decent taste of bitter dark grains. Has a touch of honey. I like it. It's definitely darker and more harsh than I like my octoberfest styles.
M-high carbonation with a watery finish
O-well it's not a bad beer. It's just not good if you're really looking for an octoberfest. It's a bit darker tasting

This week's article is very frustrating to write. I hate losing. I hate watching my teams lose. I especially hate watching my team lose because they play like absolute crap. Of course, I'm talking about the Colts Defense...
Hey guys, you made this guy look like Tom Freakin Brady..
via d.yimg.com
For all the Jaguars fans, I tip my hat to your team, despite as much as it pains me. Your guys came to play and won the game. At the end of the day, regardless of the reason, your team got the W. Congrats.
As for this week's game rating, I'll give it a very weak C+. The only reason I can't rate it lower is because the Colts Offense looked great and the special teams looked good. The defense however.... man....throwing chairs is only a start..
- Manning - Once again, the greatest QB in the game shows you exactly why he's a 4-time MVP. Only 2 minutes on the clock? No problem. 3 time outs? Don't need em... The guy continues to redefine the position at QB. He broke into 3rd all-time place in passing yards in the NFL during this game, breaking John Elway's record. Manning also moved into 2nd place all-time with QB to TE touchdowns with Dallas Clark. One more TD pass to Clark will tie the all-time record of 45. Manning and Wayne also moved into elite categories in this game by breaking the tie with Unitas and Berry of 65 TD's. As of now, the Manning/Wayne combo now stand at 5th all-time in the QB to WR touchdown category.
- Offensive line - You guys actually looked like a cohesive unit yesterday. There were holes to run in, and despite the running game not being dominant, we generally made 4 yards per run. It's nothing to get all choked up over, but definitely a step in the right direction. Addai looked solid as usual. In fact, I'm very impressed with his running this year.
Blair White - Yet again, you show up and perform well. Good routes, great effort, and regardless of what the stats say, you made an impact.
- Special teams - the returns actually looked quite good. I hope the injury to Moore was merely a nasty hit and nothing serious. Even with Tryon returning kicks, we were consistently getting out to the 30. It's a good step up over last year regardless.
- Dropped Passes - For all the flack that Garcon has caught over his dropped passes, where's the outcry about Clark and Wayne? These guys have all been dropping passes. And no, I'm not the only one who's calling them out on this.
- Referees - Yet again, the zebras screw our players out of penalties. Yes, it sounds like a fan crying over spilled milk, but I can provide evidence of penalties that were missed and not called. On the Jaguars first drive to score, Brackett was held from behind as he tried to run to the ball. Instead of a holding penalty, it's a TD. For those who still have the game TiVo'd or DVR'd, watch that play. You'll see what I'm talking about. We've also caught several players wrapping Freeney/Mathis in a semi-choke hold with their arms around the neck from behind. This is holding. It is almost NEVER called against teams playing these guys. There is also of course the cut block that wasn't called against the Broncos last week as well. Ridiculous.
The Colts defense. You can only spin a broken record so many ways before it's time to replace it. We've complained about this aspect for years, but playmakers like Freeney, Mathis, Booger McFarland, and Bob Sanders have always managed to postpone radical changes on defense. It's hard to argue with success when the Colts defense is on.
However, I'm not a defensive coordinator. I don't get to see all the practices and video tape. I only get access to what I record or watch on TV. What I'm watching on TV is pathetic. I'm seeing an offense designed to run stack the line with 8-9 guys, then watch our defense blitz with 7 guys. First off, you already lost because you have no second level there to make tackles. More importantly, your out-manned so you can't even prevent a solid gain. This has happened in both the Texans and Jaguars games. For those who have the tapes, go back and watch. In almost every instance where the Jags stacked the line, the Colts would make the tackle anywhere from 5-7 yards down field. It was only when the Jags were in 3rd and long that the game shifted to the Colts favor. Is this every time? No....but it has happened enough to let other teams game plan it....
Reggie Wayne - The next time you are wrapped at the ankles, you go to the ground. Turnovers like the one you created are absolutely unacceptable. The extra yard for the first down while nice wasn't needed. Yes, you are an All-Pro and a SB champion, that still doesn't excuse a rookie mistake out of you.
Peyton's first interception - The Jaguars make a habit of picking off Manning, and this game provided a highlight reel of a pick. I had to rewind it a few times to see if he actually caught it, but even if he didn't, there was not enough evidence to over turn. Still, it was a good pass, and an even better defensive hit/pick by the Jaguars defense.
Brody Eldridge - Tough break on your first TD chance, but know that you did everything right. Good route, good effort, you simply got blasted by an even better hit.
Jim Caldwell - YOU NEVER take a timeout in that situation. You force OT, you DO ANY THING but stop the clock on a team's final possession. The only reason you made that boneheaded call is because it wasn't a Drew Brees or a Tom Brady on the field. I don't care one freaking bit about percentages or opportunities. Your defense couldn't stop a grandma with a walker all day, what makes you think giving the offense more time will help?
Larry Coyer - What in the HELL kind of defense did you call? How in the @#!@$ do you allow a WR to be open 20 yards down field? There is absolutely ZERO reasons that should have happened. I'm willing to give you a pass, but man, you better fix these stupid break downs in coverage or you might as well pack your bags. This is the NOT FOR LONG league, and it's a good thing to remember.
Comments on the Colts lack of pressure the last 2 weeks are a bit overblown. Why you ask? The Colts played 2 teams that for most of their recent successes, are run first teams. They generally line up 6-7 guys at the line. They generally chip the Colts DE's at the line with help. Also add-in the lack of holding calls that are being missed, and there's just about all you need to know. Whining about the 3 blind zebras doesn't make it any better, but hey, the Colts had chances and missed.
Ultimately, I'm livid about the Colts blowing this. This was a team that we should have put away. Unfortunately, very bad mistakes by the defense and a few turnovers blew it for us. It's not the end of the season. We still have plenty of time to correct it and move forward. We're still one of the better teams in the league, let alone the AFC. However, we have got to start playing complete games on both sides of the ball.
As always, thanks for reading and your opinions....
Also, please check out my 18 game season FanPost and share your thoughts as well!

Rename Half-Way-Tree 'Olympic Square'
Dear Editor,
At the height of the jubilation, right after we saw another outstanding and exhilarating performance from our athletes at the London 2012 Olympics, the electricity in the air and the ringing in my ears had not yet subsided when my friend Ellen opined that in honour of all the athletes, we should rename Half-Way-Tree "Olympic Square".
The gatherings in Half-Way-Tree to watch the big screens as our athletes competed have become representative of and synonymous with the ultimate display of unity, sport (especially Olympic) excitement and patriotism. It is ostensibly the one and only time that all Jamaicans forget social strata, race, ethnicity, politics, gender preferences, hate, grievances and our financial woes.
Thanks to the efforts of our athletes, every time a Jamaican steps into the international sports arena, the eyes of the entire world become focused on us and our little country benefits from the exposure. We already renamed "Three Miles" "Portia Simpson-Miller Square" in recognition of our prime minister's stalwart contribution to the community and Jamaican politics. I therefore hope that the powers that be will see it fit to acknowledge and honour all those athletes who represented our country in the Olympics, whether or not they won medals.

Well, Saturday is finally here and I am putting off yardwork to watch College Gameday suck up to Saban. At least Lou Holtz is not on the show. If he was, they would need windshield wipers on the cameras.Since there are so many good games today I wanted to see what yall's thoughts are on who will come out of these early season challenges victorious.
A lot of questions will be answered by the end of the day...Will OU's home winning streak come to an end at 31? Can Joe Pa steal a victory in Tuscaloosa? Will the athletes from South Florida capitalize on Gator mistakes? Will Michigan or Notre Dame be relevant this year? Does Erin Andrews sweat or perspire?
No spread, just predict who will win the following games straight up
1. Penn State at Alabama
2. Miami at Ohio State
3. Florida State at Oklahoma
4. Oregon at Tennessee
5. Georgia at South Carolina
6. South Florida at Florida
7. Michigan at Notre Dame
8. Any others?
Spoke too soon...there's Lou Holtz and his hair piece. Wreck em Tech!!!

KCK agrees to pay $12,500 a month to keep YMCA open -- for now
KANSAS CITY, Kan. - One week before its permanent shutdown, a metro YMCA got a second chance to stay open.
The Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan., voted unanimously Thursday night on a $100,000 agreement with the YMCA of Greater Kansas City to fund the 8th Street YMCA for the remainder of 2013. Under the agreement, the Unified Government will pay $12,500 per month to retain current YMCA staffing and services.
The Unified Government will consider its 2014 budget contribution to the facility in August. Until then, commissioners and YMCA officials will be working together to find a permanent solution.
The YMCA announced its restructuring plan on March 12, with a targeted closing date of April 12.
"We thought there hadn't been enough time between the time they made the announcement and the deadline for closing this particular YMCA to have a thoughtful discussion and to really look for solutions," Unified Government Commissioner Brian McKiernan said.
While the YMCA was targeted because of declining enrollment and a century-old building, McKiernan said keeping it open is a priority for his district.
"If we want people to come back and live in downtown, then we have to have reasons for them to do it," McKiernan said.
The $100,000 would come out of Hollywood Casino revenue earmarked for improving health in Wyandotte County, McKiernan said.
The YMCA's restructuring plan includes closing two other locations in Independence and Raytown, renovating two other facilities and the addition of a new full service YMCA in downtown Kansas City, Mo.

U.S. Attorney Michael Cotter says the Department of Justice needs more time to respond to a lawsuit filed by the Missoula County Attorney's office.
And... County Attorney Fred Van Valkenburg agrees.
The motion was filed in federal district court Thursday.
The defendants in this case, the Dept. of Justice, asked to filed a 30-day extension to answer to the county attorney's complaint.
Back in February, the Missoula county attorney asked a federal judge to decide if the DoJ can legally investigate his office.
According to court documents filed Thursday, the DoJ and the county will work together with the possibility of coming to a resolution on the matter and for that to happen, both parties agreed to a 30-day extension.

Michelle Obama's Dress in High Definition
IT says a lot about politics today that it was possible, during a speech by Michelle Obama that was described as "genius" for its subtlety by columnists David Brooks and Mark Shields, that a parallel conversation was happening online, and in real time, about her shimmering brocade dress and matching fingernails. If you were following along on Twitter, where comments reportedly reached a peak of 28,000 a minute by the end of her speech, you might wonder how many people were really listening to what she was saying.
Like it or not, this election season has shown that clothes are probably more important than words, or at least a more effective means of communication.
From a distance, the dress had a shimmering effect, like wet paint in a blast of unreadable pastels, but in close-ups, viewers could practically study the pattern of the gold brocade.
Even the choice of designer sent a message. Mrs Obama has frequently worn dresses by Tracey Reese, a self-made businesswoman who happens to be African-American, which in fashion is a rare breakthrough. Ms Reese's prices are also in the middle ground. While the dress Mrs Obama wore has not yet been produced, very similar styles from Ms Reese cost $395 to $450, which fits perfectly with the Democratic pitch to the middle class. Mrs Obama's pink pumps were from J Crew.

"I mean, two years ago they were much different than they are. In the last two years, you had a different regime which was totally committed to confusion, disguise, overload blitzes, and pressures. Now you have a guy that has a little different approach. I think he's got much more mixing, but is more inclined to be coverage. Not necessarily the two deep for which he's famous for, but he'll mix in single high, but it's a one funnel. Lot of mixture of a one man dog or that type of thing. I won't say it's conservative, but it's certainly a much different approach than it's been the last two years and it really resembles what it was a few years earlier with Wade Phillips." -Offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Fans of Eres' haute lingerie and swimwear have been bereft since the label closed all of its standalone New York stores. But the French brand is returning to New York with a new outpost opening tomorrow, one a little closer to the beach. Its new jewel-box shop on East Hampton's Main Street will stock the full collection of swim and intimates. "I love the chic, laid-back atmosphere," creative director Valérie Delafosse says of the Hamptons. "It's very Deauville to me." You may see more of her on Long Island now that she's opened her doors. Where? "My favorite beach is Wiborg," she says. "And I have never skipped a chance to have sunset drinks at Sunset Beach in Shelter Island."
Eres opens tomorrow at 55 Main Street, Suite 4, East Hampton, N.Y., (631) 604-5544.

So carefree was the attitude at McKale Center on Saturday that when Utah's Jason Washburn scored on a dunk eight seconds into the second half, the scoreboard operator didn't register the points.
The in-house score remained 30-23 for almost another minute, as if to suggest, "Does it really matter?" C'mon, it's Utah.
But when Utah scored again, its total jumped from 23 to 27 and the game was on. This time, all 14,545 fans were keeping the uncomfortable score.
In a weekend in which the Wildcats were scared straight, surviving two harrowing finishes, two final shots that might've sent them tumbling into midseason oblivion, one thing became apparent.
Arizona won't be undefeated much longer.
On Jan. 6, 2013, this is not the nation's third-best college basketball team. Not yet. Not even close. Maybe No. 10 or No. 15, but certainly not No. 3.
If the Wildcats return from this week's Oregon Trail unblemished, unbeaten, it'll be more surprising than a blizzard in Gila Bend.
A few minutes after Arizona was again pulled off the ledge, this time with an inelegant 60-57 escape, Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak spoke solemnly about "the moment of truth," and how, when all his team needed to turn the nation's No. 3 team inside-out was one stinking jumper, well, it missed. Krystkowiak shook his head. So close.
"I'm convinced," he said, "someday we're going to catch some breaks."
So far Arizona leads the Big Breaks division of college basketball 4-0, but the instinct is to feel that the basketball gods have a storm brewing for the Wildcats, and soon.
Arizona is the imperfect perfect team, and all of it is predictable.
In the Colorado-Utah high-wire act, Arizona's freshmen were flawed defensively, especially away from the basket. The Utes and Buffs combined for 17 three-point baskets, usually a killer total, making CU's Josh Scott and Utah's Jordan Loveridge come off as Pac-12 Freshmen of the Year.
For the first time in their basketball lives, Arizona's young players are asked to play as hard defensively as with the ball in their hands. It's a different game and not always easy to master.
"Teams are giving us their best shot," UA senior Kevin Parrom said. "We kinda made this game harder than (it should've been). We've got a bull's-eye on our back and we have to understand that."
Utah's Loveridge, who was superb, said as much. "We see these guys playing on ESPN," he said. "We want to guard the best guys, play against the best guys."
Arizona coach Sean Miller surely saw some of the weekend's struggles coming. To him, the statistic of the week was that his team had essentially gone through just three true, demanding practices since arriving in Honolulu on Dec. 22.
"On the heels of that, we had a four-day break," he said. "That's 11 days without a hard practice. We need to get three (practices) in a row where we get our saw sharpened."
Arizona's saw isn't dull. No team can be 14-0 in college hoops without significant resources, but unwittingly the last few weeks have not been the type where a young team can work on overcoming high school habits.
Additionally, Colorado caught the Wildcats in an all-too familiar mode where they had bought into some of their publicity and enjoyed some back-slapping. Utah followed, with an extra day of preparation (it played at ASU on Wednesday), and to multiply the problem, the Utes forced Arizona to play its grinding style.
Krystkowiak's system, at least now in his break-in years at Utah, is to run 15 to 20 seconds off the shot clock with a series of screens and cuts before it takes a serious look at the basket.
"You seem to be on defense for an eternity," Miller said.
Arizona prevailed over the game's pace because of its surplus of talent and its flair for playing its best when it absolutely must.
Do you realize that in wild victories over Florida, San Diego State, Colorado and Utah, the Wildcats have outscored the opposition a cumulative 17-2 in the final minute of regulation? That's fabulous.
"I think we can finish whether we're good or bad at the beginning," Parrom said.
The takeaway from the week's sweep - yes, it was a sweep even though it didn't feel like one - is that Arizona was good enough to avoid losing when a lesser team might've gone 0 for 2.
The point isn't to be undefeated in January, it's to be at your best in March. Arizona fans are so spoiled, their threshold of expectations so high, that it's customary to quibble over style points.
That's been the way of life at McKale Center since 1986. It won't soon change.
"We're 14-0 and it's hard to win every game, no matter what peaks and valleys you go through," Miller said. "I wouldn't say this is a valley, but we can play better."
The Wildcats aren't yet to the midway point of the season. They have 16 conference games remaining. Nine are on the road, and by the last of them, March 2 at UCLA, they may look back and say the Florida-San Diego State-Colorado-Utah crucible was easier than what now lies ahead.
Buckle up. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Ramsgate export challenge thwarted, could Dover be next?
It's another dramatic development in the campaign to end live animal exports from Kent.
A High Court judge has ruled that the RSPCA cannot mount a legal challenge to stop the animals from being transported from Ramsgate. It was seen by opponents as the last chance to block the trade.
And tonight there are also reports that we could soon see the trade extended to the Port of Dover.
For two years now there have been protests here against this trade. The RSPCA wanted a judicial review - an examination of export facilities at the port and an investigation of whether animal welfare safeguards are working.
Exposing animals to long crossings in rough weather was the RSPCA's biggest concern but the judge has said there's no legal justification for such a review, and that means legal challenges to this trade have now almost certainly run out of steam.
This latest defeat follows Thanet Council's decision to abandon its legal challenge to the trade and there's talk of animal exports resuming at Dover. Dover Harbour Board has confirmed that exporters have discussed the issue, though it stresses that no sailings are currently scheduled.
Exports through Dover in the 1990s triggered huge demonstrations and protest leaders expect to be back there soon.
Tonight the RSPCA said it had not given up and was taking fresh legal advice this weekend. Animal exporters were not available for comment about their rumoured interest in using Dover.
