Ending team animosity at your veterinary practice
Dawn* and I didn't always work well together. When I started work at the veterinary office, not only was I nervous about moving in on this already close-knit group of comrades, but Dawn in particular had an aggressive nature I wasn't used to. While she was outspoken, I'm an introvert. I take the reserved, passive approach, and she could be downright bossy. I resolved to focus on my work in the treatment area, and as long as she stayed at the reception desk, surely we wouldn't have a face-off.
Just when I got the knack for dodging Dawn, there was a shift in our office structure. One of the technicians quit abruptly and her position had to be filled. Dawn, the most flexible and seasoned employee, was obviously best suited for the job. I realized I'd soon be working alongside my nemesis. I felt sick. All I could think of were negative possibilities.
Determined not to let this situation destroy my love for working with animals, I tried to keep it professional and stay detached from Dawn and her personal attacks. At first, it was awful. She set the thermostat to an arctic chill and turned all the fans on high. I turned the air conditioning back down and shut the fans off when she wasn't looking. I got frustrated when she left empty shelves before my shift, and she hated the way I tied the trash liners so tightly around the trashcan rim. Dawn had a flair for delegation; I didn't want to follow her orders. I'd balk at her attempts to recruit my help—if she needed it, all she had to do was ask. This petty squabbling went back and forth for a long while.Sadly, last winter we lost a loyal regular boarding dog. Dawn created and hand painted a clay paw print for his owner to memorialize him. The grieving client was overwhelmed with gratitude at the thoughtful gesture. We decided to offer this for all euthanasias; Dawn took on the responsibility of crafting each paw print. One day I remember watching her struggle to decide which color would be best for a certain print. It was important to her that it was special.
Facing this tender side of Dawn, I realized we were both there for the same reasons. We loved our jobs and wanted to be there for pets and their people. As I learned to accept our differences, she learned to respect my boundaries. We still have the occasional run-in, but now we've developed a tolerance and a deeper respect for each other.
So, dig deeper to find ways to relate to people who aren't like you. We're all made differently; sometimes our differences are extreme, but that's OK. We can each be ourselves and still be exactly what this world needs.

Sony: Our tablets are coming… eventually
Sony teased out a few more details about its new Android tablets — codenamed S1 and S2 — and let reporters briefly handle prototypes.
AT&T will be the exclusive U.S. carrier for the S2, a double-screened device that bears a close resemblance to Nintendo's DS handheld gaming device. Sony showed off how users could turn it into a book.
Executives stressed that the tablets can connect to other Sony products, such as Blu-Ray players, TVs and PlayStation content, something Apple can't offer. Like the Sony Ericsson Experia Play AKA, "the PlayStation phone," the Adobe-Flash enabled tablets will come pre-loaded with the retro game"Crash Bandicoot".
Sony once again vowed to take the No. 2 tablet spot behind Apple despite still not revealing when its new tablets would come out or how much they would cost. That news could be more than a month away but the tablets should be released this year, the company said.
Why would a customer choose a Sony tablet over an iPad? Phil Molyneux, Sony Electronics president and COO, said customers looking for a faster, smaller device that can fit in your pocket will turn to Sony's dual-screen S2 tablet.
"You can't do that with other devices unless you have bigger pockets," he said.

Sony's codenamed S2 tablet has two 5.5-inch screens while the S1 tablet seen in the background has one 9.4-inch screen.

Nike Air Max 90 Essential Light Base Grey / Black–Iron Purple–Atomic Orange
The always-classic Air Max 90 gets a light new colorway from Nike just ahead of the holidays. Here we find the casual running silhouette executed with a neutral hue around the base, contrasted by more lively colors through the heel. While the mesh toe box and forefoot are colored light grey, the leather paneling around the sides is decidedly darker, juxtaposed with hits of light purple around lace holes and heel counter. Supporting all of these features is a clean foam midsole, as well as a waffle-patterned outsole, which has been modified for superior traction in the cold season. Look for this release at retailers such as Premier for $110 USD.

Oxycodone is an opioid drug which is more potent than morphine, and demonstrates fewer adverse effects in patients. Consequentially, it is a leading pain management drug for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. It is currently administered in tablet or intravenous form.
Global opioid revenue for 2010 has been forecast to be in excess of USD 10.5 billion. The superior properties of oxycodone in pain relief resulted in an almost 900% increase in patient use in the decade to 2007. Oxycodone-based drugs generate revenues in excess of $4-5 billion per annum, with Oxycontin alone posting sales of approximately $3.88 billion in 2010.
Phosphagenics is working towards becoming the first to provide chronic pain sufferers with a patch that will provide sustained-release of oxycodone into the bloodstream. Clinical trials to date have demonstrated that Phosphagenics' novel technology can effectively deliver opiates through the skin without causing irritation. A transdermal product is desirable to reduce or eliminate GI tract side effects, and achieve a sustained therapeutic profile. A further advantage of a matrix patch is the opportunity to produce an abuse resistant product.
The TPM/oxycodone patch has been designed using a polymer matrix that makes drug extraction inherently difficult. Anti-abuse properties are critical in order to gain acceptance from registration authorities and regulatory bodies such as the FDA.
About TPM/Oxycodone
Phosphagenics conducted three clinical studies between 2009-2010 on its TPM/oxycodone formulation, both with successful results. The first study, an open-label, human Repeat Insult Patch Test (RIPT) evaluated the skin response of fifty healthy participants with both an induction phase and a challenge phase. The study concluded that no significant erythema or sensitisation were observed.
The second study, a Repeat Dose Application study, was an open label, single centre pharmacokinetic study in 20 healthy volunteers conducted at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. Its primary objective was to compare the delivery profiles of two transdermal patch candidates containing TPM®, a matrix and a reservoir system, following daily application over a ten-day period. The study reported positive results using the company's proprietary TPM® (Targeted Penetration Matrix) technology for the transdermal delivery of oxycodone and revealed that daily application of the TPM/oxycodone patch delivered therapeutic bloodstream levels of oxycodone in a reproducible, consistent and sustained manner, again with no irritation observed.
A third study, completed in October 2010, was led by Professor Guy Ludbrook at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. This milestone study was designed to compare various dosage regimes of the TPM/oxycodone patch. Importantly, the study demonstrated that the extended dosing period of 14 days enabled steady state delivery of oxycodone into the bloodstream to be achieved.
In November 2010 Phosphagenics announced signing a collaborative consultancy agreement with 3M for the optimisation and development of a commercial scale up manufacturing process.
3M's expertise in drug delivery technologies had assisted Phosphagenics to improve the delivery profile of the original patch prototype.
However, crystallisation issues with the patch meant that in order to finish Phosphagenics engaged the services of Labtec GmbH, a Germany company, which had expertise in the area of opioid patch technology. The new patch was completed in early 2013 and in May 2013 a single dose study was commenced. The trial results announced in July indicated that the oxycodone patch would be suitable for peripheral and neuropathic pain.
A Phase 2 trial is the next phase contemplated in order to establish proof of concept and efficacy. Whilst there is some anecdotal evidence that opioids can give pain relief via topical application, there dos not appear to be any companies that have taken a topical opioid to the clinic.

Morning Brew – Fri. April 5: A Brazilian singer comes out, a lesbian vies for Miss South Carolina
This Justin Bieber manipulation is presented without comment.
BuzzFeed has a piece called "How OKCupid Helped Me Explore My Bisexuality." The writer thought she wanted a threesome, but what she wanted was to have sex with a woman.
BuzzFeed also has a piece on why Megan Rapinoe would make a great BFF. All the reasons they list could easily be in an article on why she'd make a great GF, too.
Out lesbian Analouisa Valencia is vying for the Miss South Carolina crown. I'd love to see a Miss America with a girlfriend!
If you're watching The Voice in the UK, you might be interested in knowing that contestant Leanne Jarvis was in a 2010 lesbian vampire film called Blood Army.
Also in UK reality shows, some girl-on-girl kissing in the trailer for The Valleys.

Rosie O'Donnell talked about her cameo on Bomb Girls with Canada.com. She said of her character, reporter Dottie Shannon:
She was sort of the first feminist in a way, before the feminism movement really took hold, and she was explaining to these women that they were underpaid, that this factory was built on their backs and yet they were not getting compensated for it and that there were dangers everywhere. It's a great character to play and she really does cause a tremendous amount of change and introspection for Meg's character, Lorna.
I hope she has some interactions with Betty!
Slam poet Denice Frohman has some words for straight people.
Congrats to Brazilian singer Daniela Mercury! She came out by posting photos of her with her partner, journalist Malu Verçosa, and this caption on Instagram:
Malu is now my spouse, my family and my inspiration for singing.
Here's what you're missing at the Dinah so far this year — women talking about where they flew in from that day.

The Obama Administration proposal to fix the "fiscal cliff" coming at the end of the year called for $1.6 trillion in tax hikes over current policy. House Speaker John Boehner said he was "flabbergasted" when presented with the proposal this week.
Boehner tells "Fox News Sunday" that after Geithner briefed him privately on Thursday, he looked at Geithner and said, "You can't be serious." Boehner called it "silliness" that the White House was, among other things, asking Congress to give up its power to set the nation's debt limit.
Earlier today, Geithner insisted that the Obama...

The Alabama Crimson Tide rolled over the Auburn Tigers Tuesday night in Coleman Coliseum 61-43. The win put Alabama back on the winning side after a loss at LSU snapped a four-game streak the previous weekend. But as the Tide now prepare for the trip to Gainesville, the eighth-ranked Florida Gators didn't fare so well yesterday. They traveled to Knoxville to take on the Tennessee Volunteers and fell short 64-58.
This Alabama-Florida matchup on Saturday looks to be the biggest game of the season for not just each team, but for the conference as a whole. If Alabama does win against Florida, the Crimson Tide will tie with the Gators for first place in the SEC. Not only that, but it gives Alabama a much better position to secure one of the top four seeds and grab a first- and second-round bye.
Speaking of the SEC tournament, because of the way the format of the bracket that is set up, Alabama is in a pretty nice position. If the tournament were to begin today, they would be a two-seed, with a first- and second-round bye in the bottom half of the bracket. That would have them facing the likes of Kentucky, Texas A&M, Arkansas, Missouri, Vanderbilt and Mississippi State. Those are all teams that Alabama has beaten – with the exception of Missouri – at least once. That also means that if they made a big run, they wouldn't potentially face Florida until the final.
If Florida wins, however, that immediately decimates any hopes Alabama had of making the NCAA tournament from an at-large bid. Florida will promote themselves to try and secure a overall one-seed in the Big Dance, not to mention almost lock up the SEC regular season title.
Does the Alabama basketball team really have a decent shot at taking down the mighty Gators? It's a better chance than they had a month ago. The Tide has a very hot shooter in Trevor Releford and their defense is respectable and high-pressure.
Alabama and Florida have a lot riding on this game and it could make a huge difference as to where each team program ends up in the postseason. The game begins at 11am CT/12pm ET. The game was moved to ESPN and rightly so, considering the stakes in the game.

March Madness is in full-swing and it was a great Thursday of games. My excitement may also be because so far I'm doing just fine in my brackets. A few bumps, but hey, what are you going to do.
With that said, I have a few reactions to Thursday's action that I would like to share.
1. Wisconsin vs. Oregon will be very, VERY fun to watch: I am ecstatic that we get treated to two of the best offenses in college basketball going head-to-head, trying to outscore the other. These two teams run the floor at a frenetic pace and are just overall two of the most fun teams to watch in college basketball. Be ready boys and girls, that game will be a barn burner.
2. Syracuse looks like they are back: I understand it was a small sample size, however Syracuse took down a very underrated Western Michigan squad that some experts picked to win. They didn't count on 'Cuse guard Tyler Cooney getting out of his shooting slump, which consequently happened during Syracuse's downward spiral during the end of the season.
With Cooney, Tyler Ennis, C.J. Fair and Jerami Grant all looking at their best and a favorable matchup against Dayton, I think Jim Boeheim's team could make some noise in this tournament. Watch out, 'Cuse looks like they are back to the powerhouse they were just a little over a month ago.
3. Pitt has Florida sweating: Wow, Pitt looks good. Let me back up a bit. See, I wrote a piece earlier in the week breaking down the Pitt vs. Colorado matchup. I looked at all the stats and did the eye test and I picked Pitt to win. I thought it would be an easy win for Pitt.
Well, it was easy alright. Pitt took the Buffaloes behind the woodshed, beating Colorado 77-48. Florida, on the other hand looked lethargic, lazy and overall just bad. They did just enough to beat 16-seed Albany, although there were times in the game where Albany had it very close.
Pitt will take on Florida in the next round and they could give the Gators some trouble. Personally, I saw how disappointed Florida coach Billy Donovan was with his team. I see him waking his team up before the game and beating Pitt in a close, hard-fought battle. However, I'd keep an eye on the Panthers, if they win this game they may just coast to the Elite Eight, at the least.
4. One great player can elevate a team to a win…if they finish: Maybe it was just a coincidence, but I found it interesting that the N.C. State vs. St. Louis game and the UConn vs. St. Joe's game were going on simultaneously. Both UConn and N.C. State have one really excellent player. UConn's Shabazz Napier and N.C. State's T.J. Warren are in the discussion for the player of the year award.
Both are dynamic talents, but the difference, one was clutch, the other was not. St. Joe's had a lead on UConn, but Napier led the charge and UConn forced overtime. In overtime, Napier helped UConn get past St. Joe's and move on to the next round. Warren, on the other hand, blew the game. N.C. State had St. Louis beat the whole entire game until the last few minutes, when Warren failed to make his free throws.
The Billikens' duo of Rob Loe and Jordair Jett overcame the deficit and in OT, Warren continued to miss his free throws and fouled out with 27 seconds left. In the end, both Warren and Napier are very talented, but one was clutch the other was not. Keep that in mind when you pick your bracket next year and pick a team to win because they have a "star."
5. Say goodbye to the coolest kid in college basketball: Yeah, I was pulling for St. Joe's because of my bracket, but I'm sad to see this four year old go, watch this and you will see why. All credit for the video goes to Jeff Garrett: Here's the video:
6. I LOVE North Dakota State: While St. Joe's and N.C. State decided to stab my bracket, North Dakota State came in and stopped the bleeding. The Bison shocked Lon Kruger's Oklahoma Sooners, taking them down in overtime. One tidbit that I thought was interesting was that NDSU star Taylor Braun had a poor game, going 3 for 11 from the field.
The slack was picked up by Lawrence Alexander who scored 28 points, while TrayVonn Wright and Marshall Bjorkoulund combined for 27 points. This is telling because it looks like the Bison can beat tough teams without Braun playing well. If Braun can come out next game and play well the Bison could have a good run in this tournament, especially with the West Region being such a wild card.
7. You can play great defense and force another team to take a bad shot, BUT you must get the rebound: Arizona State vs. Texas was a great back and forth game that was epic to watch. However, Arizona State made one VERY costly error. With the game tied, Texas came down with the ball and forced a 3-point shot. The shot missed and that's where this should end right?
Well, Arizona State failed to get the defensive rebound to lock up overtime and Texas center Cameron Ridley grabbed the ball and put it back up to beat the buzzer and shock the Sun Devils.
8. There's one 4 seed left…Watch out UCLA: Michigan State got by Delaware, Louisville struggled but ultimately beat Manhattan and San Diego State held on in overtime to top New Mexico State. That means there is one 4 seed left to play, UCLA. I mentioned in my last piece that I thought Tulsa would be the 13 seed to take down the 4 this year.
For six straight years a 4 seed has gone down to a 13. Only two things can happen from here:
1. A trend is broken
2. I look like a genius
Overall, It was a great first day to the tournament and I'm sure Friday will be just as good. The Madness has just begun.
What did you think about the first day of March Madness? Comment below and we can discuss.

Louisville Basketball Red/White Scrimmage Recap
The Louisville basketball team took the floor today for the first time. The White team got the win 75-72 when Chris Jones drained a go ahead 3 with three seconds left. The top 10 Cards lived up to the ranking without question but there were a few takeaways that stood out:
-Montrezl Harrell is without question a First Team All American! Trez finished the game with 24 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 assist with 9 of those 24 coming off his three 3 point baskets. Yes you read that right. Trez finished 3-5 from behind the arc and looked quite comfortable. But the major thing doesn't show up on the box score is the leadership. There is no doubt this is Trez's team and he led well today.
Louisville Basketball's 1st Red/White Scrimmage to be televised
According to Kent Spencer of WHAS-11 the Cards October 19th Red/White Scrimmage will be televised.
This will be the first of two scrimmages with the other being held the next Sunday (Oct. 26). Both games will tip at 2 pm and tickets are still available on Ticketmaster.
Antonio Blakeney: What CSZ is Hearing
5-star shooting guard Antonio Blakeney visited UofL's campus on Sunday and Monday. He was at the Miami game with UofL guard Terry Rozier, who is said to be a good friend of Blakeney. There hasn't been too much public chatter since his visit ended, as he or his family haven't done any media interviews just yet.

Louisville's back court (Rozier & Jones) impressing at Adidas Nations
We posted earlier about the dominance of Montrezl Harrell at the Adidas Nations camp. While he has been dominate, he isn't the only Cardinal showing his skills. Louisville's back court of Terry Rozier and Chris Jones has also been drawing rave reviews. NBC Sports's Raphielle Johnson and Scott Phillips had this to say about the Cardinals duo:
Rozier tells CBS he is ready to step up this year
Rick Pitino said at his press conference what we are all expecting and that is that Terry Rozier is set up for a "Breakout year". Rozier, who is in Vegas for the LeBron James skills academy sat down with CBS's Jeff Borzello to talk about what he needs to to fill the shoes left my Russ Smith this season.
From Article:
"If I told you replacing Russ would be easy, I would be lying to you," Rozier said at the LeBron James Skills Academy. "It'll definitely be tough. He played there for four years, and he's tough. But that's something that we're doing right now, playing constantly, getting to know each other. Someone has to step up and do it."
Rick Pitino gives a summer update on the team
Rick Pitino met with the media on Wednesday afternoon to give a summer update on the team. It's only July, and there wasn't any breaking news, but it sure was nice to hear Coach talk some hoops and about this year's team! I expected it to be about a 20 minute press conference, but it ended up being just over 45! You can click here to watch the video of the press conference from CourierJournal.com. Below, I will give you the key notes from it…
The new Pelican…
-Pitino started out by talking about Russ Smith. He said that Russ wasn't pleased with dropping to the 2nd round in the NBA Draft, and wanted to prove people wrong. Instead, Pitino said he should prove people right, and that's the people that believe in him.
-Also with Russ, he got a guaranteed contract from the Pelicans. That is huge news, as second round picks have to make the team and are not guaranteed a spot just by getting drafted.
Terry Rozier to attend another NBA star's summer camp
According to his Instagram Louisville guard Terry Rozier will attend the LeBron James Camp in Las Vegas later this week. The LBJ camp takes 20 of the top College Basketball players and over 80 of the best high school players and allows them to go against the best competition. Other than basketball the campers also deal with things such as Marketing, PR, and other media operations.
This is the second big camp Rozier has been apart of this summer. At the Kyrie Irving camp last month Rozier drew much praise from people within the camp including John Lucas. Like I've said before these camps are only a good thing for Rozier who most believe will be one of the breakout players this season. It will be fun to keep up and hear the reviews Terry draws this time.
No word on whether any other UofL players will be attending also.
Russ Smith makes a couple predictions for the Louisville backcourt
It is always a good insight into the team when former players (weird to type that about Russ) chime in about the current team. Russ Smith has made a couple of predictions on twitter in the last day or so regarding the Cards and a couple members of the backcourt.
Terry Rozier to take part in Kyrie Irving's PG Camp
According to Terry Rozier's Instagram he will take part in Kyrie Irving's top 20 Point Guard Camp.
First off…WOW that is a lot of stuff! Secondly most are expecting Rozier to be one of the break out players in the nation this year after a very positive freshman campaign. Camps like this will allow Rozier to play against the top competition around the country as well as current NBA talent (Trey Burke, MCW) and that can only be a good thing. The Camp starts today.
Only question now is who will lead the Cards in "OH MY" moments? Trez or Terry?
55 (Episode 21)
This week…..on 55…..
We talk Season Finale. Great season by Shoni as the Women's Basketball run came to an end. Another era ended. We asked you what your Top 25 moments were of this season and you tweeted them to us. In a 2 week time frame that has felt like the worst time frame in our lives, was there a bright spot? Were there 2? Were there 3? (Shoni may agree) The Year Of The Cardinal may have some to an end but it's not the end. It also wasn't the only streak that ended this weekend. So here we go, here are the 55 most ridiculous things I have heard, had to debate, or just thought about this past week. This …..is the season finale of……55.
Here we go……….
1) On Tuesday night, the amazing career of Shoni Schimmel and the unforgettable season of the University of Louisville Women's basketball team came to an end when they lost to Maryland 76-73 at home in the KFC YUM! Center. Shoni scored 31 points and added 5 steals and 4 assists while playing the entire 40 minutes. After a slow start to the 2nd half, Shoni erupted with back to back 3's in the final 30 seconds and had a chance to tie it with one of the best drawn up and executed plays I have seen in my life. It didn't go in. Asia Taylor added 12 points, 6 assists and 8 rebounds. Antonita Slaughter scored 16. Thank you Seniors for the great ride and thank you Shoni as I am sure that your jersey will hang from the rafters one day, and this next picture that I've used several times this season will forever remind CardNation of what you are all about.
3) If only there was something Shoni could do within those next few days to lift her spirits and the spirits of CardNation…..
4) Oh Yeah
6) Shoni beat all of the ladies to win the women's title, then beat men's winner Brady Heslip to win the overall championship. Great day had by all…well except Oddysey
8) As @Slaughter_4 said……You mad?
9) #SheMad
10) Moving forward
11) On Thursday I asked you guys to send me your 2013-14 moment of the year so I could include them in this season finale. I got a lot of responses and I can't include the duplicates but here are your top moments of the year.
Early look at 2014-15 Louisville Cardinals
It is obvious that our team will look much different next year. Losing such key components like Russ, Luke, Montrezl, and SVT will do that to a team. Pitino expects Montrezl to enter the NBA Draft, and I don't think that will come as a surprise to any of us. Here is a look at what next year's roster will probably look like. (After typing out the roster and actually looking at it, that whole "looking much different" part is a huge understatement, wow.)
Louisville Leaves The AAC Kings Of The Court
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Rick Pitino switched from coach to lobbyist the moment his Louisville Cardinals won their third straight conference tournament title.
Of course, Pitino thinks the defending national champs deserve a No. 1 seed, even if he knows they likely won't get one.
Montrezl Harrell had 22 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks, and fifth-ranked Louisville beat No. 21 Connecticut 71-61 Saturday for the inaugural American Athletic Conference title in the Cardinals' lone season in the league.
Pitino said he's extremely biased.
"But I'm very impressed with our guys," Pitino said. "What they've done to win a regular season, conference tournament the way we have done it, in the fashion we have done it fits the eye test. I can't talk about the strength of the league. If you want to blame anybody, blame football. Don't blame us."
The Cardinals (29-5) clinched their 40th NCAA tournament berth in style with their 19th overall tournament title. They took the last two in the Big East and added the American to go with their share of the regular-season title with Cincinnati. They will play next season in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
"To win a regular-season championship and a tournament championship back-to-back is not easy. You have to have special players, and these two epitomize exactly that," Pitino said, praising Russ Smith and Harrell.
Smith, named the tournament's most outstanding player, scored 19 points. He also had five steals to move into a tie for Louisville's career record with 254. Chris Jones added 11 points.
Smith said he thought a year ago that he had done almost everything a college athlete can, but he wanted to enjoy being a senior on campus and work on his game. Now he has another title to enjoy.
"I have a lot of fun being at Louisville," Smith said.
UConn (26-8) came in looking for an eighth tournament title to go with seven from the Big East. It was barred from postseason play a year ago, but is a virtual lock to return to the NCAA tournament this year.
The Huskies left Memphis with a third loss this season to Louisville — all by double digits.
"Louisville's playing great basketball," UConn coach Kevin Ollie said. "They won the championship last year, they went to the Final Four the year before. They got pretty much their whole team back, an experienced bunch, they play hard and well coached. But this tournament is wide open. It's a one-game elimination. Somebody can get hot, and hopefully that team will be us."
Ollie also looked ahead to a conference that will be losing Louisville and Rutgers and adding teams like Tulsa. He said UConn plans to continue being at the top of the American.
"This conference is going to be great," Ollie said.
DeAndre Daniels led the Huskies with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Conference player of the year Shabazz Napier had 16 points on 4-of-12 shooting, and Amida Brimah finished with 14.
UConn outscored Louisville 32-28 in the paint, but the Cardinals turned the Huskies' 13 turnovers into 13 points. Louisville also outrebounded the Huskies 38-33 and enjoyed a 14-6 advantage on second-chance points.
Louisville routed UConn 81-48 a week ago on the Cardinals' home court. But the Huskies were a confident bunch heading into the final, coming off victories over No. 19 Memphis in the quarterfinals and No. 13 Cincinnati in the semis.
The Cardinals grabbed an early lead and controlled the action for much of the game. Harrell scored 10 points in the first half and was a blur at times, blocking Brimah twice on one possession. He also swooped in for a dunk off a Smith assist that looked more like a layup that just missed the basket short.
UConn stayed within six of the Cardinals down the stretch, but Louisville finished the half on a 10-2 run that included 3s by Terry Rozier and Luke Hancock. Smith also had a steal and a pass ahead to Rozier for a fast-break layup that gave the Cardinals their biggest lead yet at 37-23 going into the break.
"We just didn't find our rhythm," Napier said. "They did play good defense. Once we got into the middle, guys had open shots, and we just couldn't knock them down."
The Huskies tried to take advantage of Louisville's shooting woes to open the second half.
The Cardinals missed their first five shots, but Harrell had big three-point play for a 45-28 lead. Louisville went up by as much as 20 a couple times, the last at 52-32.
Harrell and Smith make All-AAC First Team; Rozier makes All-Rookie Team
Press release from the American Athletic Conference.
Three unanimous selections highlight All-Conference First Team
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Three finalists for the Wooden Award, which goes to the nation's top player, were among the five players chosen for the 2014 American Athletic Conference All-Conference First Team, as voted by the league's 10 head coaches. The announcement was made Tuesday by Commissioner Mike Aresco.
Cincinnati guard Sean Kilpatrick, UConn guard Shabazz Napier and Louisville guard Russ Smith were unanimous choices of the head coaches for the first team. They were joined on the team by Louisville forward Montrezl Harrell and SMU guard Nic Moore.
Bleacher Report Names Their All-AAC Teams and Awards
Bleacher Report released their All-Conference picks for the American Athletic Conference as well as their individual awards. Russ Smith and Montrezl Harrell made the first team, and Terry Rozier was named Freshman of the Year in the conference. Click here to see the full page on their site.
First team
F Montrezl Harrell, Louisville, sophomore – The potential first-round draft pick is averaging 14 points and a team-high 8.3 rebounds in his first season as a starter. He had 25 points and 12 boards March 1 against Memphis.
G Joe Jackson, Memphis, senior – Jackson capped off his final regular season with the Tigers by averaging a career-high 14.4 points along with 4.6 assists. He'll enter the ACC Tournament boasting 1,655 career points.
G Sean Kilpatrick, Cincinnati, senior – The Bearcats won a share of a conference title for the first time since 2004 thanks to Kilpatrick, who averages 20.9 points. Kilpatrick eclipsed the 20-point barrier 18 times during the regular season.
G Shabazz Napier, Connecticut, senior – Napier, who won an NCAA title ring as a freshman, clearly saved his best for last. He'll enter this week's AAC Tournament averaging career-highs in points (17.8) and rebounds (6.0) along with 5.2 assists.
G Russ Smith, Louisville, senior – With Smith in the backcourt, the Cardinals have a shot to appear in their third straight Final Four. Smith averages 17.5 points and 4.8 assists. Much to the delight of Rick Pitino, he's shooting career-best 46.8 percent from the field.
SMU Fans Plan to Harass Terry Rozier with Squirrels
About a week ago, Louisville freshman Terry Rozier confessed that he has a fear of squirrels. That may have been the wrong thing to admit in this cruel and crazy world that we call College Basketball where fans are just ruthless. The fans at SMU have learned this about Rozier, and they plan to remind him about his fear during tonight's game.
This comes from their message boards on PonyFans.com

Any ability for SID to influence to play National Geographic squirrel video's on the big screen during timeouts? Is that crossing the line? It would be funny though.

If someone isn't In a squirrel outfit on Wednesday I will leave. That needs to happen
55 (Episode 14)
This week…..on 55…..
In honor of MY beloved Steelers hiring former Steeler great Joey Porter…and because I couldn't find any new 55 pics…I have dedicated the title pic to you Joey Porter. Congrats! On the job not being the header on 55, or both, whatever. This week on 55 we discuss long layoffs, an all seeing being in CardNation and much, much more. Well here we go. Once again, I share with you the 55 most ridiculous things I have heard, had to debate, or just thought about this past week. This …..is….55.
1) We shall start off this week with a little Football talk. Tae Thibodeaux signed with UofL on Wednesday. The 6'1 267 pound Defensive Tackle is a much needed addition to the 2014 recruiting class. Read more here
2) Also this past weekend the Cards had a ton of visitors. Headed by David Moala, Pio Vatuvei for officials and Emmitt Smith and compamy here for junior day. Read more about Pio and Moala here
3) It was announced that all of the Spring practices will be open to the public leading up to the annual Spring game on April 11. Here is the full schedule:
4) Henry Famurewa Tweeted this out on Saturday:
5) Straight Fire………..
6) On to Basketball
7) "This has been the longest wait ever between games! At least we get to play tomorrow."
8) "No we don't"
9) Crap
10) Snowmageddon, patent pending, probably not, pushed UofL's game vs storied rival Temple over to Friday night AKA Valentines Day. No worries as the Cards dispatched their rivals 82-58. Montrezl Harrell had a career high 22 points and with his 6 dunks, pulled within one dunk of the single season dunk record set by Chane Behanan. Surely he would shatter that vs Rutgers….
12) Because he would only get one dunk Sunday night vs storied rival Rutgers during a 102-54 stomping of Rutgers at home in the YUM! Lead by Luke Hancock's 25 points (6 threes), Rozier's 4 threes which led to an overall season high 16 3 point baskets made, it gave very few opportunities for Trezl to be Trezl. Worry not as the very next dunk breaks the record.
13) Also evidentally ESPN likes to call every team we play a storied rival
Chris Jones will miss USF game
Chris Jones will miss his 3rd straight game on Wednesday with an oblique injury when the Cards (16-3, 5-1) take on South Florida (10-8, 1-4) at 7:00 at the USF Sun Dome. Jones is averaging 11.3 points in 25.4 minutes per game this season. He has 47 assists and 26 turnovers.
Freshman Terry Rozier will get the start again in place of Jones. In the two games that Jones has been out, Rozier has averaged 7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game. For the season, he has 38 assists and only 10 turnovers. He also has 67 total rebounds this season, while Jones has 35.
Jones is expected to be back for the Cincinnati game on January 30 at home. So it will be interesting to see if he or Rozier get the start when he returns. If the Cards take care of business at USF and are 3-0 with Rozier starting and him playing well, I don't think it should even be a debate.

I like seeing other people's friendships falling apart. Mwahahahahahahahhaha!
Shoulders are killing me. You'd expect me to have huge toned arms from all that heavy lifting. Its an actual killer.
I'm asking her some for some boy advice.
Scotland is very nice. But quite boring.
Why am I looking at clothes I can't afford?
yes, it's bed time.
I am not going to read about economies of scale or airline mergers tonight! HAH!
It is time for sleep.
There is a chav on the train. I hate chavs. But I like to look at them.
They're just so alien and you can't help but stare at them with there greasy middle shed oiled back into an ugly floppy ponytail. Of course you can't keep your eyes off the minging chav piercings either and not to forget the industrial sports brands.
Do they own any other style of clothing? Like I wonder what they'd look like wearing a dress… Is it possible for them to wear nice clothes?
What do they wear to weddings? Do they get married in a white adidas tracksuit? Pile all their life savings into a new gold chain to wear around their necks? Do they always have that look on their face like they're going to mug/beat/rape/kill you? What about when they talk to each other? Do they laugh? Have any other emotions apart from rage?
As I type this, the particular chav I'm talking about is glancing my way. Can she tell I'm writing about her? Do they have some sixth sense that let's them know when they're being spoken about?
Anyway she has a look on her face as if to say when we get off this train she's going to take my purse, my phone and leave me beaten in Fleshmarket Close.
Such a scary life I lead.
Not gonna lie… :')
I actually quite enjoyed reading and taking notes on all those articles about the rise in the price of gold and silver :')
When you say to someone "I'm going for a shower" it generally means you are going for a shower. So what's the point of standing outside the bathroom and asking if you're in the shower when its bloody obvious that the water is running and the door is locked. You would think that that someone would be able to put the pieces together and come to the conclusion that you are in fact in the shower. I mean, never mind you telling them that you're going for a shower. So what if they never listened to you telling them that? You would still assume that by disappearing upstairs for ten to fifteen minutes that that person would be able to tell that you're in the shower and not be stupid and ask if you are. Like saying "I'm going for a shower" obviously means I will be locking myself in the bathroom to wash myself… Where?… In the shower. So please… Stop being stupid. You don't have to listen to me when I talk but you can at least use your common sense. (Lmao rant over.)

Clean .DS_Store, .Trash, and ._resources files prior to copy
As promised, here's the script I run... but first, a word about my fail-safe mechanism. I didn't want to accidentally nuke dot files in the wrong directory or volume, so I only run this script after cd'ing to the directory where I want to recursively remove dot files. For this script to run, I require a special file named "!UnDotAble" to be in the directory. This file doesn't have any content, so you can just create it with 'touch'. I generally lock it so I don't accidentally delete it when I'm moving stuff back and forth.
OK, here's my script:
#!/bin/bash if [ -e "!UnDotAble" ] then dot_clean -m --keep=mostrecent . find . -name "\.*" -exec rm -rf {} \; else echo "!UnDotAble file not found - dot files untouched" fi

A devastating blow to the Denver Broncos as it's being reported that center J.D. Walton will miss the entire 2013 season after undergoing another ankle operation.
Per Jeff Legwold:
#Broncos center J.D. Walton has had an additional surgery on his ankle this week. Is expected to miss season. A tough deal for him.
Dan Koppen, who filled in for Walton last season was let go in free agency, leaving the Broncos with few possible alternatives on their roster. Thankfully, Koppen is still available but the backup center was league average at best last year, a significant drop from the talented Walton.
There are rumors that the Broncos could attempt to play Chris Kuper at center, though Kuper's never played a game at the position and the team is worried about him struggling there.
As for Walton, who never missed a game prior to last year when he was injured in Week 4, his future will certainly get a bit more murky and cloudy after missing nearly two consecutive seasons of action.

Precious Moments
Sometimes Alexander Sokurov, Werner Herzog and Pedro Almodóvar are ingenious, but their newest releases regress. Sokurov's gorgeous bullcrap in The Sun is the definition of hagiography. He elegizes Emperor Hirohito's deposition of his own divinity at the end of WWII as a confrontation between rationality and superstition, poetry and politics, tradition and personal expediency. Sokurov's usual spiritual mysticism dreamily suggests Hirohito possessed a skeptic's interest in science and historical fact. (Issey Ogata performs Hirohito uncannily with dignified reserve but tentative, punctilious gestures and tics.) This whimsical pretense is fairly spellbinding—measured and layered with multimedia references—until a completely factitious conversation (script by Yuri Arabov) between Hirohito and General MacArthur that demonizes America. "Why doesn't the U.S.A. really catch fish? Because we can buy anything. We can buy all living creatures and it's cheaper for us than to equip our own ships, and we don't need other nation's territories. But what can you buy? Now that's geopolitics!" Perhaps the most politically jejune moment ever filmed, it absolutely separates Sokurov's visual mastery from good sense. His high-art biopic is lower than Oliver Stone's pop-art biopic W.
Herzog trades his usual interest in outrageous real-life exploits for the hysteria of Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. He remakes Abel Ferrara's 1992 Harvey Keitel film into a drama about the psychosis haunting New Orleans that no Hurricane Katrina doc has dared show. Watching Nicolas Cage's take on Keitel's role reveals Herzog's motive: Cage's sociopathic cop represents modern moral chaos. Man's fall focuses Herzog's fascination with the universe's anarchy and the result is often unexpectedly comical—as when Cage teams with a drug dealer (Xzibit) in a war against disquieted (break-dancing) souls. The cop's romance with a prostitute (Eva Mendes) and love for his family counters his junkie's desperation. Cage's receding hairline and hunchback performance evokes Conrad Veidt—a Klaus Kinski-like maniac—because this is, in fact, a German Expressionist horror film and comedy. Herzog's wobbly tone reflects William Finkelstein's unstable script. This oddball vision feels awkward after Neveldine-Taylor's extraordinary Crank 2: High Voltage, an action sequel that ramps-up the culture of over-stimulation. Its bizarre, disorienting satire of action-movie ruthlessness outpaces Herzog.
Broken Embraces is another of
Almodóvar's overlong, convoluted sexual melodramas—this time about an actress, Magdalena (Penélope Cruz), who falls in love with a film director. His self-referential, movie-within-a-movie games are lavish yet humorless. Almodóvar lost his nerve when he acquired expensive technique. Inspired by Buñuel and De Palma, he used to match them. Now, his once underground satires are just expensive tearjerkers. Magdalena's trials don't advance appreciation of erotic eccentricities but settle for fancy, middle-class trashiness.
Almodóvar's interest in varieties of passion curiously lack gay gusto, only camp or pathos. It's impossible to salute his eminence without also accepting the status quo. Almodóvar certainly opened the door for putting gay sensibility on screen—there'd be no Julián Hernández without him—but with Broken Embraces, Almodóvar's retreat into the bourgeois feels closeted.

From top: A US military aircraft at Shannon Airport in July 2013 and, above, Whistleblower, Soldier, Spy by Tom Clonan, retired army officer, lecturer at Dublin Institute of Technology and Irish Times security analyst.
You may recall a post from last week concerning Margaretta D'Arcy and her appearance on Tonight With Vincent Browne, which was being hosted by Dearbhail McDonald.
Ms D'Arcy's appearance followed her recent imprisonment in Limerick Prison – for refusing to sign a bond stating she would not enter restricted areas of Shannon Airport, on foot of her arrest for protesting at the airport on September 1, 2013.
During their discussion, Ms McDonald asked Ms D'Arcy if she had definitive evidence that US military planes flying in from the US carry weapons. Ms D'Arcy said she didn't but she said there was no definitive evidence to prove the opposite. She then appealed for the Irish government to inspect the planes.
Readers may wish to know that during her court hearing at Ennis District Court on June 24 – in relation to her September 1, 2013 arrest – there was evidence given by Dr Tom Clonan, Irish Times security analyst and author of Whistleblower, Solider, Spy in which he stated he saw weapons on a US military plane in Shannon.
Dr Clonan's testimony, and that of others, went largely unreported in the national media.
Much of Dr Clonan's testimony is contained in his book, Whistlebower, Soldier, Spy, which includes an account of his visit to Guantanamo Bay, where he became the first journalist to get US Army officials to admit — on the record — their intention to execute prisoners and to admit that they force-feed detainees who are on hunger strike.
In the book, he also recounts his experience of being the first Irish journalist to interview US troops in Shannon Airport and, indeed, to board one of their planes.
On Ireland's 'neutrality'…
"In 2002, 'neutral' Ireland is providing troops, vital logistics and air support and material support for the war in Afghanistan. We are, whether the general public realises it or not, at war. In an unprecedented move, the American military at US Europe Command Headquarters in Stuttgart assign a permanent staff officer to Shannon Airport. Shannon is officially a 'virtual' US airbase. In 2002, NATO designates its army in Afghanistan the 'International Security Assistance Force' or ISAF. On NATO's official ISAF website, Ireland and the Irish flag is listed as a member of the 'coalition of the willing' who are participating in the Global War on Terror in NATO's first war on the Asian continent."
On the costs incurred by the Irish taxpayer…
"The Irish taxpayer is paying up to €10,000 per day for the en-route navigation costs and air traffic control management of thousands of US high-altitude bombers, refuelling aircraft and other airborne weapon systems travelling through Irish airspace. In other words, the Irish taxpayer is making a direct financial contribution to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Under a European Union agreement, 'Eurocontrol' to which Ireland is a signatory, the Irish government has agreed to pay the navigation fees and air traffic control levies for US military aircraft passing through our airspace. Since 75 per cent of all European-US air traffic passes through Irish airspace, this presents the Irish taxpayer with a significant bill. Figures obtained from the Irish Aviation Authority reveal that in 2004 along, €3.6million in navigation fees for US military aircraft heading to or from the battle space in Iraq and Afghanistan had been charged to the Department of Finance."
And the spicy soup.
And the better looks.
And the fairly moody service station assistants.
And those sausages that look like a plump man's thing.
