Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
And you thought her men's show in Milan was a spectacle. On Tuesday in Paris, Miuccia Prada will celebrate her label's new Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré boutique—not with a traditional store opening party, but with an ephemeral museum at the city's historic Palais d'Iena (home of her Miu Miu runway shows) that has been conceived of and constructed by her frequent collaborators: the artist Francesco Vezzoli and AMO by Rem Koolhaas. Vezzoli, among other things, is famous for a faux Caligula trailer; a premiere of a play that never ran starring Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman; and a performance art piece at L.A.'s MOCA that united Lady Gaga with the Bolshoi Ballet. Style.com sat down with him to discuss his latest "overambitious happening."
How did the idea for an ephemeral museum come about?
Mrs. Prada and I have already worked together. For many years, we looked for a new project, but not to do another exhibition, not to do anything predictable. We've often discussed how these huge companies have big budgets for parties. And we brought up the idea of baroque parties. In the sixteenth century, great architects would produce these feasts. Mrs. Prada liked the idea. It's taking the funding that normally would be used for something frivolous [a store opening party] to produce an artwork. An artwork involving different brains, and involving them in a big, risky, and funny game.
What will this game, as you call it, look like?
We will upholster the whole grand room with neon lights like a big cage. There will be a nightclub with a dance floor. And I produced all these sculptures which are sort of a fake pseudo parody of a retrospective. And we are transforming the Palais d'Iena's mini parliament just for the night into a movie theater, where we put my favorite movies. So, it's like a big fantasy. Both to Mrs. Prada and I, it seemed like a good place to make our dreams meet.
Why the Palais d'Iena?
It's an incredible building, the size of the New York Public Library. On top of that, it's a pillar of modernism. Auguste Perret did it between '36 and '46 and it was supposed to be a museum, but it never really became a museum. Today, it's the Conseil Economique, Social, et Environmental. So, there's this idea that we are squatting not only on the history of architecture but squatting on politics as well. We are occupying it for 24 hours. We are political Cinderellas. The beauty of the project, the true Prada nature of the project, is that Mrs. Prada is putting into a clash two aesthetics that are very different—mine, which is perceived as more melodramatic and camp, and Studio Rem Koolhaas', which is perceived as dry or sophisticated.
And you're tearing it down the next day?
It's a 24-hour experience. You can call it a climax or an anti-climax depending on your perspective. It starts with a dinner hosted by Mrs. Prada, with only the people close to her. And then there's a much bigger party, and then it's going be open all night, hopefully for mischievous and vicious and dangerous events. Then there's going be a pseudo press conference, and then an opening to the public until exactly 24 hours after the first person stepped into the room for dinner.
How do you see it, as a climax or an anticlimax?
For the celebrity seekers, it's an anticlimax because the dinner comes first. Me, I'm way more interested and worried about the general public's reaction. I'm worried that nobody will show up, or that they all show up and they hate it, or they feel it's vilifying a monument. This is the risk that we're taking. It's not an institutional critique, I don't have that pretension. But it's certainly a way to discuss the role of institutions today. For me and you, a museum is a museum, but for a president of a bank, a museum is a venue on his list. It's like, "Oh, where do we do the Christmas party? Do we do it at such-and-such museum, or do we do it at Cipriani 42nd Street?" Museums have become hubs for different types of social gatherings. Here, we are doing the opposite; here we are taking a place used by politicians and turning it into a Cinderella of a museum for 24 hours. And after that, all this extravagant setup will disappear.
You like walking that fine line between art and entertainment. Why?
I always say, I am a mirror, don't take my word for my word, just see what I am reflecting. Look at the recent debate about Art Basel Miami. The art world invites to its rituals many, many celebrities I wouldn't want in my worst video. I'm only reflecting this fine line of an industry that is putting itself up for criticism by wanting to become a secondary entertainment industry, a secondary fashion industry. Having navigated performances with famous stars before, I thought it was interesting to create a stage for the audience to make a performance. In a party of this scale, as you know, they would get a big singer. This is the only thing I had to say no to from the beginning. It would seem part of my act. I already did it with Lady Gaga. If I have to do it again, we have to reunite Abba, which is not going to happen, unless we do a partnership with H&M.
And will this 24-hour museum have a gift shop, as all museums tend to do today?
No, it would've created a fourth dimension. That would've been a multiple death jump. We're already doing a triple. That would've been too risky.
How did you first meet Miuccia Prada, and why do the two of you connect the way you do?
We talk often about the fact that neither of us remember when we first met. What I really like is her, but before I met her I liked her work, I like the irony. I think she has the copyright on irony for fashion. I try to have as much irony in my work. It's actually more difficult to do a project with someone you're so close to and you love so much, because it's doing a project for your favorite person in the world so you really want to impress them.
Do you have a favorite Prada collection?
I love them all, but the last menswear show with all those Elvis-meets-golf player looks, that made me laugh so much. And the one with the pink crocodile trolley (Spring 2006). It was such a take on this cliché of the girly girl; she's just strolling around in candy land waiting for a sugar daddy. I thought the projection of the female identity in that show was so much the opposite of who its creator was.
What comes next for you?
We have a big traveling show that will be a joint venture between PS1 MoMA, MOCA, and MAXXI, the new Zaha Hadid museum in Rome, and my fantasy is that the three survey shows open more or less at the same time. It will be another attempt to create a short circuit, to create a condition of something that has never been done before, to push the boundaries.
You must need a lot of sculptures to have three exhibitions open at once?
I've been overproducing, but they don't know it.

This research and development project has used the Tanzanian case to study how cross-sector and inter-disciplinary partners can work with local communities, regional and national institutions, and international organizations to enhance mathematics teacher education in rural and remote settings. The Tanzanian context is uniquely useful for learning about how universities can work with institutions and communities because of Tanzania's reliance on foreign aid (funds, expertise, volunteers and NGOs, etc.) and the presence of diverse agencies within the national, regional, district, and local education governance systems. This project explores the roles of universities in collaborative research and development in rural communities with two universities in Tanzania, one a young university that is working to build its programs and research profile and the other a private university with a social responsibility focus. Further, the lessons learned from this context can contribute to the international conversation on how partnerships with communities are key to addressing complex social issues.
The project is in three phases over Aug 1 2011-July 31 2014 and the first phase involves four field studies that research, initiatives and concerns considered valuable to the partnership since these were identified through intensive engagement with two rural communities in Iringa and Morogorro during preliminary meetings in 2010. The field studies are: 1) A case study of Alpha University's programming approach to enhancing teacher development in East Africa. This study involved document analysis, survey of former students and interviews with faculty and staff of the Alpha University. 2) A case study of a District Education Officer (DEO) who was identified as an exemplar by the Regional Education Officer (REO) of how to work with teachers to enhance the performance of their learners. This study involved interviewing the DEO, the REO, head teachers and teachers at schools in the district, survey of activities the DEO conducts, and a study of the governance that enabled the DEO's work. 3) A case study of a rural school community that had been having success for their learners through self-initiated teacher development. This study involved interviewing the DEO of that school district, the head teacher and the teachers in the school, as well as members of the local school ward. There was also a focus group of parents and community members to seek their understanding of how teachers work in the school and the impact of that work on their children's learning experiences. 4) A study of the challenges of multilingual learners for teachers as understood in primary teacher education. In this work, the teacher colleges become the focus. Syllabi were reviewed, classes observed and instructors and students interviewed to understand how teachers prepare for the multilingual mathematics classroom.
The partnership collective will use the research from phase one to develop prototypes for professional development for in-service rural primary mathematics teachers in the second phase of the project. The prototypes will involve both a strategy for and the development of in-service education to be delivered in the two school districts participating in the project. The third phase will reflect on and critique the professional development strategies and in-service prototypes, and share findings from the project.
This project is in collaboration with the Faculty of Education, University of Alberta Canada. On the basis of her substantial experience in mathematics teacher development Professor Anjum Halai is providing the leadership on behalf of IED EA.
The laments and outcries are frequent. Educational standards are falling! Schools are failing students and also failing to improve levels of achievement required to develop cadres of professionals and individuals able to participate in productive economic activity as the basis for economic development in low income countries. When examination results are released from examination boards, questions are raised as to why there are so many failures. In a similar vein, international or regional surveys, such as the UWEZO or SAQMEQ studies, also lead to a rush of newspaper editorials, letters and articles with contributors positing the reasons behind such failure and poor school and student performance. Teachers and the lack of resources are frequently cited as key reasons. Very few commentators would point to 'language' being a significant factor in school underachievement. Why, then, do so many children underachieve and what effect, if any, does English have on children's achievement in school?
The research of Professor Pauline Rea-Dickins – Director IED - and colleagues from the State University of Zanzibar and the University of Bristol highlights how English language proficiency may be a major barrier to examination success. With Kiswahili as the children's home language and English the language of school, this research shows three main factors contributing to examination underachievement. First, the quality of the national examination results are determined by the school children attend; and secondly, by the level of the children's English language proficiency, with the majority of children having exceedingly limited knowledge of basic English words essential for learning and being tested through English. Thirdly, there is the quality of examination development processes and the examination papers themselves. Overall, this study found that it is the school children attend and their command of English that makes a huge difference to their examination results. In other words, children's underachievement is strongly related to school factors (e.g. teacher qualifications, availability of teachers) and how well they know English. For more information, see www.bristol.ac.uk/spine.
This project is an evaluation of Reading to Learn a methodology earlier developed and used in Australia with tremendous results, and rolled out in disadvantaged communities in Kenya and Uganda. The evaluation was led by Dr Ngwaru, our expert in the field of literacy development and on issues of home school transition in the early years. It provides valuable lessons with regards to head teacher effectiveness, children's reading ability, teacher pedagogy and the utilization of learning materials and community libraries.
The results show that head teachers were central to the success of the Reading to Learn innovation. Where heads were committed proactive managers and leaders, distinct success stories and evidence of improving learning outcomes were observed. Also children's reading ability was improving as a result of this approach which was giving children more exposure to reading materials and reading practice during lessons but this needed to be taken further by teacher proactivity. Teachers managed to control large classes by following the literacy and numeracy teaching strategies effectively to enable most of the learners to follow with understanding.
This evaluation highlighted that effective use of available materials was more important than just the availability of materials as in many cases classroom libraries were not put to maximum use. The reading gap was noticeable and the somewhat slow reading improvement was noticed overall. Community libraries were an important innovation which was bringing in new reading attitudes towards reading and books among both parents and children but as in all educational innovations, it requires more time to yield sustainable results.
The ASKAIDS project took place in two phases over 2008-2012 and was carried out in three countries namely Kenya, South Africa and Tanzania. The project aimed to examine the sources, contents and processes of young people's community based sexual knowledges, and how these knowledges interact with AIDS education programmes in schools. According to the findings as reported by the project "the study also sheds fresh light on teachers´ fears and struggles with a lack of training and limited opportunities for reflection on practice. It engages in dialogue with conflicting voices of community stakeholders who are both aware of the dangers faced by children living in a world with AIDS and who are also afraid of the many cultural, religious and moral restraints to sex education in Africa". This study was mainly sponsored by the Common Wealth Centre for Education, Faculty of Education University of Cambridge UK.
Gender is a significant issue in taking account of equity and inclusion in access to education of quality. Dr. Jane Rarieya our specialist in Gender and Education brings considerable experience in and understanding of gender issues rooted in rural East African education contexts, and works on two interrelated research projects. Sponsored by the Commonwealth Centre for Education Cambridge UK and set in rural Kenya, this research looks at factors that have facilitated girls retention in school against all odds, and have enabled women to reach leadership positions in education in spite of the contextual challenges.
Development Partnership in Higher Education (DeLPHE) Award 2007-10
The partnership between the Aga Khan University Institute for Educational Development East Africa and the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education UK, aimed to work with governments in East Africa in achieving Millenium Development and Education for All Goals through development of a high quality teaching, research and policy studies institute for educator professional development. Objectives of the proposed partnership were to assist the Institute for Educational Development, East Africa in:

The Most Important Verse in the Bible - Transcript
So, I want you to ask somebody who knows anything about the Bible, "What do you
think the most important verse in the entire Bible is?"
And I think most people will say, "Love God and love your neighbor." Or just, "Love
your neighbor as yourself," or something to that effect. And I certainly agree that's really
important. But, I'd like to offer you a different thought.
The most important verse in the bible is Genesis 1:1. The first verse in the bible is the single most important one. Because, if that is not the case, if what it says in Genesis 1:1 is not the case, then nothing that follows matters, and nothing that follows makes real sense.
What's Genesis 1:1? "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
In other words, God is the author of everything. But that's not the only reason it's
Important; that God is the author of everything and that's the reason that we worship God, and listen to God, and that's why life meaningful; because there really is a God who made this all -- it didn't happen by itself.
That's the first verse: it didn't happen by itself. That's another way of reading Genesis 1:1, "Hello, we want you to know, that whatever you believe " and I'm not talking about evolution or not evolution, it's not my argument here -- it's just "It didn't happen by itself!"
That's why Genesis 1:1, in my opinion, is the most important verse. It tells you there is a
designer, there is meaning, there is someone who is intelligent who made intelligence, it
didn't come from nothing.
Reason number 2: It says God is above nature. All the gods of the ancient world, all: this was a staggering revolution, Genesis 1:1, all the Gods of the ancient world were nature gods.
Oh there was a god of thunder and a god of lightning and a god of rain, and a mountain god and a sea god, and they were all inside of nature. That's why people tended to worship nature. And along comes Genesis that says, "Nope, God created nature." God is not in nature, -- that's a common mistake that people make.
You can see God within nature, you can see God everywhere; you can see God in music, you can see God in goodness. But God in not in nature, God is above nature.
A lot of people are uncomfortable with this. I know that. But here, let's think about this for a moment. If God is in nature, if nature is God, if you will, pantheism, as it is known among theologians, then there's no morality because nature isn't good.
Nature doesn't teach you the difference between good and evil. In the natural world,
hospitals aren't built for the weak. In the natural world the weak die out. That is after all
the essence of evolution and of natural selection: the weak die out. You don't take care of
the weak, you let them die.
The notion that you take care of the weak is entirely a Genesis biblical notion. It's a
human God-based idea. God is not in nature because nature isn't good and God is good,
so something good made nature. That's why Genesis 1:1 is so important; it tells us that
God is above nature. It means that God has no sexual identity, he is not male or female
and never copulated with humans. All the natural gods copulated with humans. They found favorite beautiful men or beautiful women to have sexual relations with, or they had sexual relations with another god.
Genesis 1:1 gets rid of all that. And now there is this pristine, beautiful opening: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
Everything comes from God. And if everything comes from god then ultimately
everything has some meaning. Because, if there is no God, there is no ultimate meaning.
Yes, we can make meanings for our own lives, I find it meaningful to be a father, I find it meaningful to be a worker, of course. But that's entirely subjective, there is no over-arching meaning to all of life. If there is no god, life is just a coincidence. It just happened to be. There's no aim -- there's no purpose -- there's no end except for oblivion.
But, no, Genesis 1:1 undoes all of that. "Folks, I, God, created everything." There is a purpose to it all. We may not know all of its purposes, that's true, but Genesis 1:1 reassures us and states for the first time in history there is something above nature that created nature.
So, my nomination for most important verse of the Bible is indeed Genesis 1:1.
and does not offer certifications or diplomas.
But it is a place where you are free to learn.

New soldiers will help create reserves squadron
7:30am Saturday 22nd March 2014 in News
FIFTY soldiers will be coming to Banbury to create a new Army Reserves squadron.
As part of the Army 2020 programme, the Territorial Army is being transformed into the Army Reserves, with TA bases from across Lincolnshire, Warwickshire and Buckinghamshire being amalgamated into one unit in Banbury.
There are currently just 12 TA soldiers in the town's Territorial Army base in Oxford Road.
The current Royal Signals Corps will transform into the 142 Vehicle Squadron of the Royal Logistic Corps during April.
The squadron is the Army's only unit, regular or reserve, dedicated to vehicle supply and delivery.
Members have a variety of licenses allowing them to drive everything from motorbikes to Challenger 2 tanks.
The new commanding officer will be Major Jeremy Burnan, who is currently posted at Grantham, Lincolnshire.
He said: "The Army Reserves is a new rebranding for the TA. These people will not be moving to Banbury, but they will be coming to the army base every week for our meetings and training.
"This is one of the most complex transitions in the country, because we are transforming from a Royal Signals Corps to a Royal Logistic Corps."
To welcome the new soldiers, there will be a service of dedication and then a public parade.
On Sunday, April 6, there will be a service at St Mary's Church at 2pm, and then a parade from People's Park to the town hall.

Today I attended the open practice the Sacramento Kings held at Arco Arena, and I was pleased to see the number of fellow Kings fans who attended the practice. It makes me feel good knowing that we have some die-hard fans that wanted to get their first glimpse of the new look Kings roster. I had to keep mental notes on each individual player as well as giving my thoughts about how they looked in the scrimmage.
Paul Westphal said that they were going to play four quarters (ten minutes a piece) as a treat for us Kings fans, and I have to say I was excited to see the new look Kings in a game situation. They seemed full of energy during lay-up drills, occasionally throwing down monster dunks to get the fans all riled up (and hearing a few groans themselves when they missed lay-ups).
When they started shooting jump shots I wanted to see who had (and changed) the form on their shots. I noticed instantly that J.R. Giddens and Luther Head seemed to have two of the ugliest shots in camp. Giddens seemed to have a weird hitch in his shot and it seemed to be all over the place, and Head seemed to flail his body in every direction. I was pleased to see Jeter hitting his shots consistently and Tyreke's form seemed much improved.
I had to admit I had chills when they did the player introductions and the excitement the fans had when he said Tyreke Evans name. Its good to know that he support our leader in Tyreke.
I have to admit, Beno is one of my favorite Kings on the roster and I was excited to see the smooth free-throw line jumper that he hit so consistently throughout the season. He wasn't much of a factor scoring wise, as he preferred to set up his teammates for easy buckets. I was particularly impressed with his nice move to the bucket during the fourth quarter that had all the fans in attendance on their feet cheering. I was also pleased with his passing skills, particularly the full court pass he threw to Darnell Jackson in transition that faked out most of the Kings players in the second half. He seemed to compliment Tyreke well and even played some solid defense.
Jason Thompson disappointed me after watching him in practice. He looked aggressive on offense when he was in the post but he took some tough shots that weren't even close to going in. A couple of fans that surrounded me groaned just about every time he touched the ball, even sparking some chatter about potentially trading him. I found it hard to defend him after he missed a decent amount of easy put backs that clanked off the front of the rim. He made it to the line quite a few times but continued to miss them. I believe he was 2/8 on free throws which was bad, but in his defense, just about all of the Kings players struggled from the line. I wasn't getting a good feeling about the way he was acting to the refs, complaining on calls when he claimed he didn't commit a foul. This new technical rule isn't going to help his case much.
I didn't really see much on Antoine Wright on offense, but he seemed to be a solid defender. If I remember correctly, he guarded Garcia much of the time and forced him into taking quite a few forced shots. It was good to see him laughing and smiling after he got fouled on a dunk attempt in the second half. He looks like he has a good chance of being a rotation player this year, to me looking like a longer and tougher Ime Udoka. I didn't see him shoot the long ball, but hopefully he can stretch the floor out on that end of the court.
Sloan looked MUCH better in today's scrimmage then I think he did throughout ALL of Summer League. He was quicker then I originally thought, and was able to get to the bucket but what impressed me the most was his defense. He was crowding the ball hander often and making it tough to get clean looks, showing promise as a help defender. He knocked down a few jumpers as well. I'm not sure if he is a lock to be on the team, but after seeing today's practice, I don't think he'll be around.
Both seemed to struggle a bit today, but in totally different ways. Carl seemed uninterested throughout the scrimmage and Marcus seemed to struggle on defense. What I noticed was that Marcus can shoot the ball a little, and Carl can be a force on this team if he actually tries. Hard to judge Carl because I know what he is capable of, but I couldn't see it in this scrimmage. Marcus seems to be a decent ball player, but I still don't see him making this team after seeing today's performance. Who knows?
Luther Head | J.R. Giddens | Connor Atchley | Joe Crawford
All had a decent outings, I guess. Head seemed to shoot a lot of jump shots and I only remember him making one of them. I cringed just about every jumper he took because it just looked ugly to me. Giddens was almost the same way, but I was impressed with his defense and his rebounding. He scored all of his points off of put backs or easy lay-ups, but his jump shot just doesn't look good ..... at all. Crawford didn't do much offensively, but he can shoot the ball. Connor Atchley is someone who is just out there as another big body, but he played alright. He looked timid out there and didn't do anything to surprise me. Out of this group, Head is the most likely to get a roster spot although I would prefer Joe Crawford after today.
Donte' Greene | Omri Casspi | Francisco Garcia
Donte Green didn't exactly stand out in ways that Omri Casspi did. From first glance I noticed that Greene did seem to get bigger, and I was hoping to see a big duel between the two, but after today I have to say I jumped on the Omri Casspi for Starter bandwagon. He seemed to hit his jump shot with ease, and looked comfortable on the court for the majority of the time. Greene had a few good turn around jump shots that went in, but his outside shot wasn't falling. Garcia struggled to find his shot offensively, but he looked decent from a defensive standpoint. I was bummed out that Garcia wasn't hitting the open looks he received, but I had to remind myself that he is coming back from his injury. Still, I was impressed with his leadership on the court. Its great that he have such a good veteran helping out this team.
Darnell Jackson
I have to admit, I was EXTREMELY skeptical when Coach Westphal said Jackson was having one of the best camps on the team, but after today, I am secretly hoping he makes this team (and..GASP...PLAY!) He looked good from a rebounding standpoint, and even chipped in quite a few buckets. His midrange shot looked smooth and I was surprised to see him scoring with efficiency.
I wanted to see if he could be a contributor on offense like Coach Westphal said he could, but after today I don't want him shooting the ball other then clean up shots or alley oops. He knocked down a few hooks in the lane and even a short jumper but I don't feel comfortable with the ball in his hands. I was a tad disappointed that he didn't block a single shot during the scrimmage and his defense was just decent. I think it was because he was coming off of an injury, but hopefully when the season starts he doesn't play this way. NOTE: I loved the group hug the Kings players shared after Dalembert was fouled in the fourth quarter on a put back attempt. (:
Pooh Jeter
JETER. IS. GOOD. He is just as advertised. He is a lightning quick guard who is NBA ready now. His jumps hot looked solid all day, knocking down shots out of the pick and roll only proves how smart he is on the court. I was impressed with his passing skills, particularly two plays in the first quarter in which he got assists. One while he was falling out of bounds and flicked it to DeMarcus Cousins for the dunk, and another when he threw the ball through his legs for Francisco Garcia to lay it up on the fast break. He is my bet to not only make the team, but serve as a solid backup for Beno/Tyreke during the season. This kid is good. Impressed me.
Tyreke Evans
I have to admit I was extremely skeptical when people said that he developed his midrange jumper during the off-season. I mean sure we got video clips of it, but they weren't much of a real indication of his new found jump shot. To start off the scrimmage he wasn't making anything. Not a lay-up, jump shot, or call went his way. Then he got an open look and converted it which drew cheers from much of the crowd. At one point I believe he made like 4-5 of his jump shots in a row, including a pull-up over Garcia. Toss in a few AND 1's and some silky smooth drives and we have our 2009-10 ROY, ladies and gents.
DeMarcus Cousins
Cousins was a pleasure to watch in person, because he has such an amazing skill set. He is bigger then I originally thought, looking like a big bully from the get-go. He has soft hands and great footwork as advertised, but what impressed me the most was the patience he had on offense. He didn't force anything on the court and seemed to be a class act for most of the camp (helping his teammates up and apologizing to the kid he knocked over during the game..). He surprised me the most with his passing ability, throwing passes that bigs wouldn't normally throw, surprising even some of his own teammates. His jump shot looks good as well. I am expecting at least 12/10 this year, hopefully he can do it.
Other Kings notes:
Most importantly, I predict they will win anywhere from 32-45 wins, with 42 being my exact pick. Call me a dreamer.
Hassan Whiteside did not play.

NEAR TOPPENISH, Wash.-- Dozens of
families in the lower Yakima Valley now have new places to call home.
Today the Yakama Nation Housing Authority
celebrated not only finishing 68 new low cost housing units, but also its 50th
The organization provides homes for tribal
The development is aimed at families and
the nation says over 400 kids will live in the new homes.
"Sometimes these families have never
had bedrooms for their own children. Children are packed inside of a house with
other adults and their children, so very very proud," said Elena Bassett
with the Yakama Nation Housing Authority.
It's an expansion of a development near
the intersection of Fort Road and Lateral A.
The housing authority says they still
have a long way to go, with over three thousand people still on the waiting

"Contemporary Hindu, Jain, and Sikh Traditions of India"
Original Course dates: August 29-October3, 2013
Course Instructor: Dr. N.C. Mathur
Dr. N.C. Mathur is a member of the Executive Committee and currently joint Secretary of the India Association of Greater Tulsa (IAGT). IAGT's purpose is to:
altruistically promote communication and unity among people of Indian origin as well as those who have an interest in India;
nurture the local community's understanding of the language, culture and customs of people of Indian origin; and
provide cultural, educational, social, and charitable community services.
India is the birthplace of Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism (as well as Buddhism-a separate course in this program series). Hindusm is the religion of the majority in India and Nepal, and the third largest religion in the world, following Christianity and Islam, with approximately one billion followers. One of the oldest living religious traditions on earth, it has no specific founder or date of origin. Hindus call their religion the Sanatana Dharma, the eternal truth, or Vedic Dharma, the religion of Vedas.
During the first four weeks, the course will provide an introductory exploration of diverse Hindu religious traditions in ancient and contemporary contexts. Participants will become familiar with the religion's basic terminology, sacred literature, foundational beliefs and practices, and developmental history. They will consider India's encounter with the West, the legacy of colonialism, globalization, and social justice movements.
During the last two weeks, the course will introduce the history, texts, traditions and practices of the Jain and Sikh communities. Participants will have a special opportunity to visit the local Hindu Temple and participate as a group in India-Fest, highlighting the culture, food, art, dance, and music of India.

Colm T. Whelan, professor of physics and chairman of the Department of Physics at Old Dominion University, has been approved for a doctorate of science by the University of Cambridge.
This type of higher doctorate is given in recognition of a substantial body of published work and only a small number are awarded in any academic year, Whelan said. This year, Cambridge approved 10 higher doctorates, compared with the nearly 900 traditional Ph.D.s it awarded.
Whelan received his Ph.D. from Cambridge in 1985. Earlier this year, Whelan was honored by the German research council with the prestigious Mercator Professorship.

STORRS, Conn. (AP) - UConn has lost its biggest football game of 2015 without even taking the field.
The University of Tennessee announced Thursday that it won't be playing a scheduled home-and-home series with the Huskies that had been planned for 2015 and 2016.
In a story on the school's football website, Tennessee said the series was suspended by mutual agreement to allow Tennessee to play neutral site games in Nashville and in Bristol, Tenn.
UConn spokesman Mike Enright said the schools have agreed to reschedule the series, but have determined when that will happen.
The Huskies, who hosted Michigan last season, still have high-profile home games with BYU and Boise State scheduled for 2014.

Am I the only person who thinks that the Blazer lineup is just fine the way it is? The Blazers arguably have one of the deepest rotations in the league, but that does not seem to be enough for a large portion of the fans who post on blazers edge.
The main players who are ripped apart by the masses that is Blazers edge seems to be Steve Blake, Travis Outlaw, and Jerryd Bayless. Why is it that we (I'm generalizing) think that we need to trade to be successful?
Steve Blake is now the second string point guard, regardless of whether he starts or not. He is more than capable to play this role. He was the main point guard on our beloved 54 win team. Having him as the backup to Andre Miller is going to be amazing (again regardless of who starts, Blake will receive backup minutes). This is a monstrous upgrade! Andre is more than likely the better point guard than Blake, so there is a plus; Blazers upgraded the primary point guard position. Now, Blake will be replacing Sergio for the second string point guard position; this is an extremely good upgrade! Now, at all times, there will be a competent and extremely capable point guard on the floor at all times. Both Andre and Blake have their strong points and working with both of them in different situations will bring stability in both the first and second unit. I felt that with Sergio coming off the bench, the Blazers did not have the stability and focus that they will surely have now.
Jerryd Bayless is extremely under-developed, and is sometimes questioned at whether or not he has what it takes to become a "true" point guard. The thing is, Bayless is very young, and has a lot to work on, but his potential is great. It is not hurting the blazers at all having him on the roster. The blazers are simply waiting it out see whether or not he will be able to develop in the player that the Blazers need him to be. He is extremely talented for what he is (a third string point guard). Many will argue that without playing time he will most likely never develop, and I agree that it is going to be hard for him to develop without seeing adequate playing time. If I was Bayless, I'm not, but if I were, I would use this time study and dissect games (kind of like Webster reportedly did according to the article posted earlier). With two other solid point guards in Andre and Blake, Bayless should be able to learn, or at least see, what it is he is going to have to do, or what it is he is going to be expected to do, just by watching what the other players accomplish. I definitely think that miller should be able to have a pretty good impact on Bayless as long as Bayless is willing to put in the time learn. Another thing, a lot of the basis on Bayless' short comings was based on summer league. That is ridiculous. Summer league is completely different. I'm not trying to make excuses for Bayless; I agree that he played like crap during the summer league, although I do not believe he was out played by Pooh Jetter like some may have you believe.
Travis Outlaw is one of the more widely agreed upon players that we as the fans feel the need to get rid of. Outlaws' minutes will more than likely see a bit of a ding this season; however i doubt it will as much as everyone (generalizing again) predicts. Outlaw is going to have a very important role this season, and that is backing Aldridge at the four. His main reason for people wanting to see him go (besides rebounding, which is not as important with Greg and Joel, and his defense) is everyone's assumption that he can't handle that position. I strongly disagree; I feel he plays this position better than he does at the three. Outlaw could probably be outplayed by a good portion of the starting power forwards in the league, but so do most reseverves (besides teams like Utah who are fortunate enough to have Boozer/Millsap). Besides, the newly acquired DC will be able to fill this role in the future. Also, Outlaw is going to be very important picking up the slack at the three position behind Batum. There is no guarantee that Webster is going to be brilliant the way many think he will be. Until Webster can prove what he can do, an appropriate assumption would be that Outlaw will need to play some minutes at the three, at least at first.
My main point, question, and reasoning for writing this is: Can the Blazers succeed with the lineup they have? Or is it completely necessary to acquire some other piece to make this team legitimate contenders. I for one, feel that with the lineup as is, we are serious contenders in the west, and one of the few teams that can and will challenge the Lakers this coming season. The Blazers have greatly improved over the off-season by ridding a few unnecessary players and adding a veteran point guard, but also, they are another year older (in this case, unlike the spurs, it is a good thing).

In Greenwich Associates Rankings, UBS Named Top Equity Broker in Latin America, Merrill Lynch Earns Top Honors in Emerging EEMEA
Thursday, Sept. 11, 2008 Stamford, CT USA -Investors in stocks from the emerging markets of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America entered 2008 with bullish expectations and were adding to their portfolios right up to the recent downturn in returns.
Among the European institutions that dominate investment in emerging Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EEMEA), the average emerging EEMEA portfolio grew by 50% from Q1 2007 to Q1 2008 - a period in which the MSCI Emerging EEMEA Index was up slightly more than 12% but was well off its prior three-year average of more than 20%.
Emerging market investments in Latin America come mainly from institutions in the United States. Among these investors, the average Latin American portfolio grew by nearly 30% from 2007 to 2008. Investors were bullish with good reason: Returns on the MSCI Latin American Index topped 45% for the period.
"Although performance has obviously tumbled in both, increases revealed in the research findings suggest that Latin America and emerging EEMEA remain attractive long-term growth markets in the eyes of institutions in Europe and the United States," says Greenwich Associates consultant John Colon.
The growth in emerging EEMEA and Latin American portfolios was driven primarily by the fact that investment performance in both regions remained strong relative to returns on developed market equities from Europe and North America. Also contributing to the continued expansion: a move by institutions to diversify their portfolios by taking on added exposure to international equities. Additional research by Greenwich Associates suggests that the emerging markets will continue to benefit from that trend in coming months, despite the downturn in equity market performance. Among the 419 European institutions interviewed by Greenwich Associates as part of its 2008 investment management research study, nearly 20% reported that they were looking to increase their allocations to international equities, while less than 7% said they were looking to cut back.
Country Allocations: EEMEA and Latin America
About 50% of the investments made by European institutions in emerging EEMEA are in Russia, with a stable 25% invested in Eastern Europe. U.S. institutions hold a diminishing 36% of regional assets in Russia - down from 41% in 2007 - and a growing 20% in Eastern Europe. U.S. investors showed a marked increase in their exposure to the emerging markets of the Middle East and North Africa, where assets jumped to 13% of regional portfolios in 2008 from only 4% in 2007. At the same time, they lost some of their prior enthusiasm for South Africa, which fell to 16% of emerging EEMEA investments in 2008 from 30% in 2007. South African equities were stable at 10% of European institutions' emerging EEMEA portfolios from year to year.
Investment in Latin America remains a tale of two countries: Brazil and Mexico together account for about 80-85% of all equity investments in the region for both European and U.S. investors.
Bulge Bracket Dominates in LatAm, Country Specialists Thrive in EEMEA
Institutions use an average eight to nine brokers for equity research in Latin America, with most relationships in Brazil and Mexico. Those numbers are slightly lower than the historic norm, largely because many of the big local brokers have been purchased by global banks; Credit Suisse bought Brazil's Garantia in 2001, and UBS bought Brazil's Banco Pactual for $2.5 billion in 2006. "The global firms still have huge presences there and everybody uses them," says Greenwich Associates consultant Jay Bennett.
In fact, only one more regionally oriented firm, Santander, places among the top 10 Latin American brokers in Greenwich Associates' 2008 Equity Brokerage Rankings. When it comes to service quality, UBS is well ahead of the pack in Latin America. The bank outscores its competitors by a wide margin on the Greenwich Quality Index, which is compiled by Greenwich Associates from service quality ratings provided by brokers' institutional clients in the region. Merrill Lynch has made steady progress in terms of GQI scores, and now ranks a solid number two in terms of coverage quality, followed by a tier of five or six brokers active in the region.
In emerging EEMEA equities a number of the larger, more global firms have acquired local firms and local talent across the region, so it is the European and U.S. firms that are really driving the business at the institutional level in EEMEA as well. Merrill Lynch ranks tops in terms of both research and quality scores in emerging EEMEA equities and Deutsche Bank figures prominently as well. Other firms with strong presences in individual markets throughout the region also make an appearance, including Renaissance, Unicredit and Investec, followed by a second tier of a half-dozen global firms.

ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. (AP) - A town employee in St. Johnsbury has filed an anti-stalking order against a man he says has been following him for more than a year.
Public Works Department employee Aaron Rodger says he filed the complaint over an incident last week in which Brian Christman got into his vehicle and yelled at him for leaving the engine running while he went into a store to buy coffee.
Christman tells the Caledonian Record he never yelled and that he was only questioning Rodger.
Christman, who was served with a summons to appear for a hearing Tuesday in Caledonia Superior Court, has since subpoenaed two members of the Board of Selectmen, one former member and Town Manager Ralph Nelson to testify at it.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Organizers are getting ready for one of the city's largest events of the spring. The 2013 Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon is this coming Sunday, but pre-race activities begin as early as Saturday. More than 6,000 runners from all over the world are expected to attend. And this year, race organizers have added a new event - the two-person relay. "That gives someone who wants to do the half marathon distance the opportunity to partner up with somebody else and choose if they want to do the first half of the course or the second half. The feedback on that has been good because people love some of the neighborhoods on the second half including Island Home, Fourth and Gill and Parkridge," said Marathon Director Jason Altman.Race officials say they expect people from 48 states and as many as seven foreign countries to come to East Tennessee to run in the Knoxville Marathon. Online registration has ended. The only opportunity left to register is this Saturday at the Marathon Health and Fitness Expo. That's being held at the Knoxville Convention and Exposition Center inside the downtown Holiday Inn.

Dominick DiVello and his partners have big plans for Healthcare Medical Waste Services, a Colorado Springs-based company he started in June as a holding company for medical waste disposal companies across the nation that he eventually plans to acquire.
DiVello said he spent more than two years researching the medical waste industry before forming the company and recruiting investors The O'Neil Group, a local holding company for Braxton Technologies and several real estate investments, and Susan Loo Pattee, whose grandparents started local mail-order greeting card giant Current Inc. Shortly after it was formed, the company bought Front Range Medical Waste in Castle Rock, moved it to Colorado Springs and changed its name to Healthcare Medical Waste Services.
"When I researched the industry, I found what seemed like a void in the industry. The industry is dominated by one major player, Stericycle, and the rest are pretty much mom-and-pop local businesses," DiVello said. "Our strategy is to undercut the prices of the competition by 30 percent, which has allowed us to add 100 to 150 customers since acquiring Front Range in June. Our long-term strategy is to buy up some of these family-owned companies. We believe it has the potential to be a $1 billion business."
Healthcare Medical Waste Services is able to keep its overhead costs low by sharing administrative and other services with The O'Neil Group, allowing the company to "compete regionally, then nationally for large institutional customers," said Kevin O'Neil, chairman of The O'Neil Group.
DiVello said he plans to begin making other acquisitions within six months and eventually expand into offering to haul pharmaceutical and chemotherapy waste, which must be incinerated out of state, as well as medical record shredding services, all of which would be done by contracting out those services. The company also is in negotiations to form a partnership with a larger firm DiVello declined to name that would handle donations of used medical equipment and unused supplies to clinics and other medical facilities in third-world countries.
Healthcare Medical Waste Services, which has five employees, picks up medical waste from physician, dental and veterinary offices, as well as tattoo parlors, along the Front Range, and also offers its clients online or in-office training on compliance with federal regulations on medical waste and records, DiVello said. The waste is hauled to a facility in the Denver area where it is loaded into autoclave machinery that sterilizes the waste for 50 minutes through high-pressure steam heated to 245 degrees; the waste is then sent to a traditional landfill, he said.
DiVello is no stranger to the waste business. He and brother Victor DiVello owned U.S. Waste Industries in southern Colorado and sold the company, which operated waste collection, recycling, transfer stations and landfills in Cañon City, Colorado Springs, Fountain, Pueblo and Trinidad, to Waste Connections in 2007. The price of the deal was not disclosed, but the deal was amid eight Waste Connections completed for $84.9 million during the first nine months of 2007, according to the company's third-quarter 2007 report to shareholders.
DiVello had been an investor with The O'Neil Group in some of its real-estate deals and Braxton Technologies, a local military contracting firm. He said the investors decided to buy existing companies rather than launch companies in individual markets because of the extensive state and federal permits required in the medical waste industry.

Paul Michael Glaser treated a Jewish audience to insights into his career at a fundraiser for Manchester Jewish Community Care.
The actor was taking time out from his starring role in a touring version of Fiddler on the Roof — which is currently at Salford's Lowry Theatre. He answered questions from MJCC deputy chairman Jeff Lewis before an audience of 80 invited guests at the theatre.
Things were hopping at Nightingale House last Thursday as the Clapham care home introduced six new residents to launch its farm — four rabbits and two guinea pigs.
Rebecca Weinberg, who is standing down as Leeds Jewish Welfare Board chief executive, has been appointed chair of the local St Gemma's Hospice.
Located in the Moortown suburb, it is the largest hospice in Yorkshire, assisting more than 2,500 people last year.
Manchester MP Hazel Blears opened a pop-up shop in Salford's Eccles centre which will provide retail experience for students at Langdon College, helping those with learning difficulties.
Amy Woolf neatly places her heels under her desk. She is leaving the office to volunteer at Jewish Care's resident Rubens House for people with dementia.
Her employer, corporate auditor KPMG, is one of many UK companies encouraging employees to set aside working hours to volunteer at charities of their choice as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility drive (CSR).
A 19-year-old Israeli girl has told an Emunah audience how the charity's welfare work in Israel transformed her life.
Addressing the 400 guests at Emunah's 80th anniversary dinner at London's Guildhall on Tuesday, Naomi Daniel spoke affectionately about her time at its Bet Elazraki children's home in Netanya following the death of her mother.
A couple of weeks ago, JNF released its annual report for 2012. The report showed that our overall income rose 76 per cent from £10 million in 2011 to £17.5 million in 2012.
It showed the money committed to projects in Israel increased by 96 per cent from £2.3 million to £4.5 million.
Staff at kosher shops barely batted an eyelid when a charity collector arrived to empty their tzedekah boxes.
The religious-looking man in black hat and beard visited shops and restaurants all over north-west London, nodding to onlookers as he politely helped himself to donations.
Complex negotiations between World Jewish Relief and Manchester's Morris Fienmann care home have paved the way for an £11 million new elderly care development.
The land in Didsbury, south Manchester, was subject to historic covenants which promised a third of proceeds from a land sale to WJR and the Otto Schiff Housing Association, which helped fund the opening of the home in the 1950s.

Yeah he's got us two wins and Im loving it.
But seems to me He is to chicken to try and make a play(Throwing it to a receiver who is covered ok, but putting it where he might be able to make a play on it) or throw a deep ball for a completion.
I mean Our Defense and Special Teams arent going to get us 3 TD's for the win each Game.
I know it didnt help Brad that we had NO running game (ONE REASON IS Becuz of our O-Line).
He had my boy K-ROB WIDE OPEN for a TD, but couldnt even get it too him it was horrible.
Anyways i just wanna hear what you guys think on Brad Johnson, and if he is playing to Conservative. And Even with the two wins, we cant always rely on out D and Special teams to put points on the board/

Virtual Server backup software ranked
response to Anonynmous Coward
Anonymous Coward, we most certainly did take a close look at both Veeam and PHD, as we consider each of these vendors to be very significant vendors in this market. As for asking the right questions, I am obviously not the best person to address this. I will tell you that one of the participants in the research - and not one of the highest ranked vendors - told us: "...there were a lot of very creative questions that took some great insight and understanding of the environment and problems within the VM backup space. Kudos to the people that put together the questionnaire!" reastman at smbresearch (dot) net
response to Michael C
Michael C: As one of the collaborators on this research, I don't quite understand how a response rate correlates to an error rate. The fact of the matter is that we went to great lengths to identify the players in the virtual server backup software market, and made contact with each of the major vendors with an invitation to participate. I am guessing that if every piece of research that did not get 100% response were never published, then there could be a lot of quite good research that would not see the light of day. We feel that this piece of research has some very good integrity and value.
I respect your opinion. I believe however that our research has some very good value to provide to vendors, end-users, service providers, and to the discussion of virtual server backup software. reastman @ smbresearch dot net

I have had my eye on this type of table for some time now. I had finished a couple of Adirondack chairs and love seat for a customer and had several scrap pieces left. The customer had asked me for a table to go along with the furniture so here it is. This Table is not finished (oops, did I just say that?) But I am not sure if I want to do anything but varnish it and KEEP IT! Not really liking the legs, but it is from reclaimed wood PLUS scraps from 3 SOLD projects and a fence post! That is like FREE X 2!!
I love knots in my wood!
-- It is fun to see where an imagination and two bored saws will get you.

Like the playful shape of the legs, wonderful knots on the table top. Great project and salvage of wood.

Professor Mustard in the Laboratory with his Bro-Tank by RemoteSensing - over 1 year ago
"Jack Mustard is a professor at Brown University whose research focuses on remote sensing of Earth and other planetary bodies, such as Mars. Every day upon entering his Remote Sensing class, he asks "Is today a good day for remote sensing?" Jack's charismatic teaching and investment into his students' learning is apparent to all who take a class with him. It is very fitting that there be a Jack-dedicated bro-tank circulating the university (both undergraduate and graduate students), and with a fitting phrase on the back by the man himself: "It's always a good day for remote sensing." CustomInk couldn't have made this tank come out any better than it did. We were very pleased with it's appearance; the tanks were a huge hit!"

Wausau West finished with just two wins last season. One of the biggest changes that the Warriors are dealing with is actually a lack of size on the offensive line.
Head coach Kevin Grundy will be working with smaller linemen than in previous seasons. But the 8th year coach says that West will make that up with "a lot of heart and tenacity".
The warriors open the season on the road at Marshfield a week from Friday. And they bring back a few players that earned all-Valley conference recognition last year, including senior linebacker Cole Radolff.
"Our d-line is pretty new so I think they'll have the jitters for the first couple of games," Radolff said. "But our whole team is going to be prepared. They've all played before so they're pretty seasoned. So that's going to help us in the long run too."

Per 247's Blake Munroe, Abilene Cooper WR Lorenzo Joe has committed to UT.... for the 2014 class. In what seems to be a massive change of recruiting tactics, it would appear that the staff has sent out committable offers to a number of 2014 recruits including 5 defensive backs, RB Donald Catalon and others according to Gerry Hamilton. No more waiting until Junior Day for your offer. We are up and running on 2014 before the books are closed on 2013. It sounds as if a second commitment could be done by the close of business today, as Munroe is also reporting that Eisenhower RB Catalon has said he is considering calling the staff this afternoon and officially committing to UT.
I am guessing the increased presence of certain schools from the southeastern portion of the contiguous United States may have led Mack and the staff to decide that the old ways were no longer going to work with Nick Saban personally offering a number of the top recruits in the State.

OREGON (WKOW) – A family is displaced Tuesday morning after a fire broke out in the bedroom and caused about $125,000 in damages.
Dane County Sheriff Deputies, Oregon Fire, Brooklyn Fire and Fitchburg Fire responded to the 900 block of Harding Street around 12:25 a.m. for a structure fire.
Authorities say fire alarms alerted the occupants and they were all able to evacuate the one story home safely. Firefighters were able to save a cat, but unfortunately one dog was killed in the fire.
Fire officials say the home sustained fire and smoke damage to the interior of the residence and caused an estimated $125,000 in damages.
Authorities believe the fire originated in a bedroom and may have been caused by an electrical appliance.
The fire remains under investigation.

Critics are already turning cartwheels wondering whether Eddie Murphy will be a good Oscar host, but the truth is: the host won't make any difference until the producers sweep away the stale, vaudevillian writing that makes the show feel like a relic from the Bob Hope era in the 21st century.
People can scapegoat James Franco and Anne Hathaway for last year's disaster, but it was the Academy and the producers who shot themselves. It never made sense to aim for a young demographic then saddle them with a tired stunt like dressing Franco as Marilyn Monroe (a joke for great-grandparents who remember Milton Berle in drag?)
The Academy seems to have tried everything, but it's a superficial attempt. They bring in Chris Rock, then complain that he's irreverent. The Academy is terrified of real change, or it would have let Franco be Franco and applauded Rock (who wasn't nearly scathing, just edgier than Billy Crystal).
You can't reach New Hollywood with Old Hollywood writers, as last year's mini-squabble between Franco and entrenched Oscar writer Bruce Vilanch displayed. After the show, Vilanch complained to New York Magazine's Vulture blog about that wacky performance-artist Franco. As Vilanch put it, the Oscar gig is "outside of those guys' comfort zones. The only people who know how to host those shows are people who get up onstage every night and say, 'Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. A funny thing happened ... ' Or people like Bette [Midler] who get up and sing all night and tell stories." Yikes! That is exactly the lame comfort zone that has to go if the Oscars are ever going to be any good.
This graffitied photo, which Franco posted on his website after Vilanch's remarks, perfectly captues the tension between the old and the new:
I don't have much hope that this year's producer, Brett Ratner (another faux-hip choice), will change much. His choice of Murphy seems dizzyingly nostalgic. What's the show's theme - Back to the Future?
mindybell | September 8, 2011 8:10 AM
"I'm looking forward to working with Brett and Don on creating a show that is enjoyable for both the fans at home and for the audience at the Kodak Theatre, as we all come together to celebrate and recognize the great film contributions and collaborations from the past year." http://bit.ly/njMHCK

I wish Eddie Murphy would do movies for adults again like he used to and ceases doing children's films. It would be sad and disappointing if he doesn't.
Everyone is ready to give up on him. He has alienated his fanbase for years and has seemingly gone out of his way to make lousy children's movies, with only the occasional adult film once in a while.

Tulsa guard Kelsee Grovey was named as the Conference USA Women's Basketball Freshman of the Week, as announced today by the league office. This was Grovey's first weekly award, and the third C-USA Freshman of the Week honor for TU women's hoops since the 2009-10 season.
Grovey averaged 15.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game against Marshall and East Carolina on the week. She scored a career-high 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-7 from beyond the arc, to pace the Hurricane in a win against the Thundering Herd on Thursday. At East Carolina, Grovey accounted for 10 points and had two assists in a close road loss on Sunday.
Grovey is second on the team in scoring with 9.8 ppg and assists with 30, and is third in steals with 24.

The Concord University women's basketball team erased a 16-point second
half deficit vs. Alderson-Broaddus to force overtime but ultimately fell
short against the Battlers, losing 73-68 in overtime Tuesday night.
The loss drops Concord's overall record to 2-3 and its West Virginia
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference mark to 1-1. Alderson-Broaddus
improves to 1-1 overall and 1-0 in the WVIAC with the win.
Sophomore forward Rachel Artrip scored a career-high 20 points and
grabbed a team-high seven rebounds. Artrip went 5-for-12 from
three-point range. Junior guard Amanda Smith added 16 points as
Concord's second-leading scorer.
Sophomore forward Jacqueline Kestner and senior forward Tanisha Williams
both chipped in nine points in the defeat. Williams and sophomore guard
Stephanie Wagner both had three steals with Wagner also passing out a
team-best six assists.
As a team, Concord shot 38.6 percent from the field (27-for-70). The
Mountain Lions made 33.3 percent of their three-pointers (8-for-24).
Alderson-Broaddus jumped out to an eight-point lead (22-14) through the
opening 16 minutes of play before Concord made one of its many comebacks
of the night to trim the deficit to just one point (27-26) heading into
halftime. The 12-5 run was sparked by six points from Artrip.
However, the Battlers were able to come out of the break and go on a
20-5 spurt, opening up their largest lead of the night at 47-31 with
11:14 to play in regulation. Concord refused to quit and mounted a
comeback for the ages.
The Mountain Lions comeback began with 13-3 run that cut the
Alderson-Broaddus lead to just six points (50-44) with 5:57 to play in
the half. With the game within reach, Concord continued to fight and
controlled the final five minutes of play by scoring 12 of the periods
final 18 points to tie the game at 56-56. The final five minutes saw
huge three-pointers from Artrip and senior guard Katy Somerville.
Artrip's triple with 1:14 was the game-tying basket.
Concord jumped ahead of Alderson-Broaddus 59-58 early in overtime after
another three by Artrip. The teams continued to trade baskets leading to
a 66-66 tie with 1:10 to play. However, Concord would finally run out
of gas as Alderson-Broaddus closed out the game by going on a 7-2 run to
end the game with the 73-68 win.
The Mountain Lions will step out of WVIAC competition to host UVA-Wise Tuesday Nov. 27 at the Carter Center.

Walmart? Great, I'll pick up some underwear.
Are these Venue 8 Pro at Walmart the 32GB version only or do they have the 64GB version?
Can't believe this :( went to nearest one and called 2 others - no tablets to be found :(
Dammit. They don't have it at my local Walmart.
Great thread, thanks to every contributor.
It would be really nice if someone who had luck at Walmart (or anywhere else) could give us some more feedback concerning the stylus and handwriting recognition...
I need OneNote, so it's really difficult to make any decision for the moment - and only a few days left until the Venue 8 Pro is available in my country...
Got it! They had 2 left.
Sure when I get home. I had to drive 30 miles outside the city to pick it up.

Both were selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft, one in the first round, the other in the third. Both were expected to suit up for the Surprise Rafters in the Arizona Fall League starting on Tuesday. Neither, in the end, will do so.
Second baseman Brett Lawrie, taken No. 16 overall in the 2008 Draft, has been removed from the Arizona Fall League roster, as has Logan Schafer, an outfielder taken in the third round. Schafer hasn't fully recovered from a broken foot that kept him out from all but seven games of the 2010 season.
Lawrie isn't injured and while there was no official word, it appears that the 20-year-old prospect asked out of the AFL after a long season that began when the Canadian reported to the Brewers' Spring Training complex in Maryvale, Ariz. Lawrie went on to hit .285/.346/.451 with 30 steals, getting named to his second Futures Game and the Southern League All-Star team as one of the youngest regulars in the Double-A circuit.
Lawrie has been replaced by first baseman Hunter Morris, the Brewers' fourth-round pick in this past June's Draft who hit .251/.306/.436 with nine homers and 44 RBIs in 71 games for Class A Wisconsin after signing. Schafer's place is being taken by Caleb Gindl, a 2007 fifth-round pick who was a Florida State League All-Star in 2009 and hit .272/.352/406 with nine homers, 60 RBIs and 10 steals for Double-A Huntsville.

MMA Weekly caught up with UFC 135's Quinton Jackson to discuss Saturday night's fight against light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. Despite what appears to be an increasingly personal rivalry between Rampage and the champion, Jackson says that this fight isn't that personal. He simply wants his belt back and thinks that Jones is cocky, adding "He's a kid, you can't really expect him to handle fame the way an adult would handle fame."
Here's the video:
There is also another of the increasingly common "Rampage Moments" where he wonders why Jones would want to be so popular in a male dominated sport, suggesting that maybe he "likes bones."
But the more important parts of the interview are Jackson's insight into his preparation. He claims that he has been working with a slew of great wrestlers as he is sure Jones will try to bring him to the ground. But Rampage also says that he has trained a lot of jiu-jitsu in the event that he gets taken down as well as saying he is ready to strike, deal with leg kicks or anything else Jon may decide to try.

At the Bell Centre in Montreal, the 46-year-old Bernard Hopkins was attempting to become the oldest man to ever win a major boxing championship. Standing in his way was the man he fought to a controversial draw in Decmeber, Jean Pascal.
Pascal was clearly desperate as the bout hit the championship rounds. Hopkins had taken the bout over with his jab and right hands while using defense to take away Pascal's offense. Pascal's best effort through the round was wading forward and making it clear that he was trying, but he wasn't landing clean punches.
As the round ended it appeared that we were one short round away from seeing Bernard Hopkins make history with a light heavyweight championship victory.
SB Nation scored the round 10-9 Hopkins. Making the fight 107-102 Hopkins on our card after eleven rounds.
