As far as I know, stats do not cap at 999, at least in the 4th Generation. This should be changed in this article and all others related to stat boosts. --Kefkafreak 22:01, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Private transit less rare than you'd think
Would private transit lead to a better, more affordable TTC? It all depends, say those who have tried it.

It's the conversation some say Toronto's council has been afraid to have — whether contracting out could lead to a better, more affordable TTC.
Until the mayoral race and budget deliberations suddenly brought the issue to the surface, "There's been an absolute refusal to even consider it," said Councillor Peter Milczyn, who sits on the Toronto Transit Commission. "There may have been people in the civil service who've seen the value of this, but they wouldn't be allowed to pursue it."
Privatized transit might be a radical notion in downtown Toronto. But at least two major regional transit operators already contract their operations.
GO Transit is about halfway through a five-year contract with Montreal-based Bombardier Inc. to crew its trains. Worth about $23.9 million annually, the contract was designed to ensure a higher level of service than the previous supplier, CN. It was also expected to save GO $1 million to $2 million per year.
York Region Transit's regular bus service and its premium VIVA bus rapid transit are based on the system of contracted providers inherited from communities such as Markham that were amalgamated into the regional system a decade ago.
"It's good value for our citizens and we have very substantive contracts," said York Region chair Bill Fisch. "We have a process. If they do badly they lose money; if they do well they get bonuses."
York, which has four private bus providers, also contracts some routes to the TTC. Each supplier is allowed to operate in only two of the four regional service zones so the system is unlikely ever to shut down entirely because of labour or operational issues. When VIVA drivers employed by Veolia Transportation went on strike two years ago, riders still had the option of using the YRT routes.
The flip-side is that the employer, not elected officials, are responsible for how long a labour dispute drags on.
Phoenix, Ariz., has a similarly contracted-out transit system that uses three major suppliers, including Veolia, that provide service on a price per route-mile basis. The companies can't come after the city if the route is a money-loser.
Like many U.S. cities, however, Phoenix is struggling financially right now and is in the process of cutting back its bus service, according to Marie Chapple of the Phoenix Public Transit Department.
"As we reduce service, we will reduce employees. Through the private contractor, it's easier to expand and reduce staff," she said.
But customer service rather than labour relations could be the motivation for contracting out parts of the TTC, suggested Ben Dachis, a policy analyst at the right-leaning CD Howe Institute.
The TTC would be able to dictate its service parameters in its supplier contract, specifying performance measures such as adherence to bus schedules that could be monitored by GPS, he said. "What you can do to create buy-in from the unions is to allow them to bid alongside the private organizations."
If you divied up the bus service into geographic zones, you could have various bidders vying with the union for that piece of business. That's something Dachis believes will be more important in the future as regional transit agencies are increasingly integrated.
But nobody thinks wholesale privatization of the TTC is a good idea, said Dachis. "We're talking about incremental change here. You can't just start operating a subway. It's not a turn-key operation," he said.
London, England, is proof of that, says a veteran of that city's experiment in privatized transit, which has resulted in a hybrid of public-private operations on the London Underground and bus services.
One of two companies contracted to maintain the London subway, Metronet, went bankrupt, leaving taxpayers on the hook for what some have estimated to be more than a billion pounds.
"That risk, in reality, always remains with the taxpayer. It was a silly model," said Mike Challis, who lived in Toronto in 2008 and spent lots of time studying the TTC.
"Government had lulled themselves into the belief that the private sector is far more efficient than it is. Taking the huge amount of investment off the government books — it's just creative accounting, and in the long run it costs the taxpayer more," he said.
"I think the TTC is quite efficient and accountable to its public. It's actually pretty good, certainly for North America: high levels of service; frequent service, integration of subway is very good. It would be crazy to throw all that away."

Young Money's Nicki Minaj opened eyes and dropped jaws over the weekend after giving Lil Wayne a lap dance during their I Am Music II Long Island stop.
Footage of the lap dance began circulating online early Monday (March 28).
Nicki Minaj usually treats one male fan to a lap dance during her concerts, but the crowd was in for a surprise when that man happened to be Lil Wayne. Young Money's First Lady (and her jaw-dropping booty) danced up on a grinning Weezy during the "I Am Music II" tour stop at Long Island's Nassau Coliseum on Sunday (March 27). He was so overcome by the experience that he eventually fell out of his chair. Now that's a moment for life. (Rap-Up)
Around mid-March, Minaj also treated one lucky fan to a lap dance.
Nicki Minaj had a wild stage show last night in Providence as she kicked off the "I Am Music II" tour with Lil Wayne, Travis Barker and Rick Ross. She ran through a few of her Pink Friday hits before summoning a lucky fan to the stage. She then instructed him to "Keep your legs open, hands behind your back, and keep your mouth shut!" (Necole Bitchie)
Outside of grinding, Minaj recently confirmed her appearance on Wayne's upcoming Tha Carter IV album, set to drop May 24th.
"I recorded something for Carter IV, and I recorded something with the Birdman recently," Nicki revealed in an interview. "I think Carter IV is gonna just be exceptional, of course — I think Wayne is definitely on his grind crazy right now. But yep, my Carter IV verse has been handed in officially." (MTV)
In early February, Minaj talked to radio host Tim Westwood about the project's superior production.
"Of course, if Wayne would have me, yes," Minaj told Tim Westwood when asked if she will appear on Tha Carter IV. "I think that's going to be very anticipated. I think it's already being anticipated. His beat selection alone is going to friggin' kill. I've already heard a couple of the beats, in fact, the other day, I went to tell this producer, 'Yo, hold that beat for me.' And he said, Wayne already took it. And it hurt my heart, I was like, 'Errr'. But yeah, he's snatching them up. He's ready. I cannot wait. I'm just, I'm proud of him. I'm super proud of him." ("Tim Westwood TV")

W1AW CENTENNIAL QSO PARTY – The 100th anniversary of the ARRL is still being celebrated! The W1AW Centennial QSO Party is still "on the air" and consists of two main activities: 1) portable operation of W1AW in each state and most territories; and, 2) The Centennial Points Challenge which is the accumulation of points from qualifying contacts made throughout 2014. For further information on the W1AW Centennial QSO Party, see http://www.arrl.org/centennial-qso-party
W1AW/4 in North CarolinA (September 17-24) – The W1AW/portable operations returned to North Carolina on September 17th at 0000 UTC (September 16th, Tuesday, 8:00 PM EST). Team leader Nate Moreschi, N4YDU of Youngsville and 36 operators from NC were on the air until September 23rd at 2359 UTC (7:59 PM EST). Here is the report from Nate N4YDU on their operations:
"….. (The) official QSO count was 36,635. We operated on all HF bands as well as 6M and 2M using SSB, CW, RTTY, PSK and JT65. We also ended up with 138 total countries for the week. The big modes were SSB with 17K QSOs, CW with 14,700 and a little more than 4K for RTTY. We also logged more than 2,200 JA QSOs. We often had to work split to control the pile-ups. The NC operators did a fantastic job of managing the intense pile-ups and helping people who had specific requests for a band or mode. It really was a great event and produced some very exciting moments for all. It was an honor to celebrate the ARRL Centennial and we are all thankful for the opportunity. The League has done a fantastic job with this event – too bad we have to wait another 100 years! 73, Nate/N4YDU"

PPD BEACH2BATTLESHIP FULL AND HALF IRON DISTANCE TRIATHLON (10/25) – Last weekend, the PPD Beach2Battleship Full and Half Iron Distance Triathlon was held in Wilmington. Assistant Section Manager Bill Morine, N2COP was a volunteer at the event and here is his report: "45 Hams turned out to help with the 7th annual Beach 2 Battleship (B2B) iron distance triathlon in and around Wilmington on Saturday, October 25th. The race is one of only 25 iron distance triathlons in the U.S., and is now ranked by athletes as the second best triathlon in the U.S. and fifth best in the world. Iron distance means a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and a full 26 mile marathon totaling 140.6 miles. 1,000 athletes running the full course get 17 hours to complete the race; there were also 1,200 half triathlon (70.3) mile participants. The B2B is North Carolina's longest, continuous public service event because COMMS run uninterrupted for 18+ hours over six FM repeaters and a dedicated APRS digipeater. B2B COMMS are run as an Incident Command Structure (ICS) exercise. Special thanks to the Wilmington VHF Association, Azalea Coast Amateur Radio Club, Hampstead Hams, and ARES groups from New Hanover, Pender, Brunswick and Wake counties, and to COMLs Bob Kiehlmeier, WA3IRG; Stephen Russ, NI4SR; Wayne Pearce, KI4WDY; and Dwight Danner, W4DCD." Thanks to Bill Morine, N2COP, Assistant Section Manager, for providing this report!
WESTERN BRANCH ARES/AUXCOMM FALL MEETING (10/25) – The Western Branch of ARES/AUXCOMM met in Morganton on Saturday, October 25th. Approximately 35 hams attended the event, which featured a presentation by Tom Brown, N4TAB, Section Emergency Coordinator, on ARES and Auxiliary Emergency Communications (AUXCOMM) activities in NC; and, VIPER training. Tom N4TAB reported that, for the period ending September, 2014, there were 199 reported public service events and 6,238 reported service hours by hams in NC. He commented that many public service events are conducted under the ICS model. Tom N4TAB also stated that the reported numbers probably do not account for the many public service events conducted outside the ARES environment by clubs and other entities. Allan Sadowski, AH6LS, and 3 VIPER technicians from the North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP) conducted a training session on the State-wide VIPER communications system. After a short presentation, all attendees participated in a hands-on exercise, using hand-held VIPER transceivers provided by the NCSHP for this meeting. For further information on VIPER, see https://www.ncdps.gov/Index2.cfm?a=000001,001148 Thanks to Paul Robinette, KD4OZI, Assistant Section Emergency Coordinator, for coordinating the Western Branch Meeting; Tom Brown, N4TAB, Section Emergency Coordinator, for providing the information in this article; and, Allan Sadowski, AH6LS and the North Carolina State Highway Patrol for their assistance with VIPER training!
FSD 157: PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITY REPORT – Ever wondered what is the equivalent dollar amount of time and equipment, which Hams donate to public service events? It's more than you think, and shows what a valuable resource we are when we give back to the community. ARRL form FSD-157, the Public Service Activity Report, documents in terms of money the total donated to specific events. For labor costs, you can use the latest published rate of $21.40 per hour for North Carolina found at www.independentsector.org/volunteer_time In calculating the cost of equipment, FSD-157 uses the full, unamortized cost of equipment used, both what is owned personally by each operator and the costs of repeaters. Supporting a local race or charity event can equate easily to thousands of dollars. Try documenting recent past public events your club supported by completing a FSD-157 form, which can be found at: http://www.arrl.org/fsd-157-public-service-activity-report These reports are enormously helpful when dealing with government officials who want to see the benefits which Amateur Radio brings to communities. Thanks to Bill Morine, N2COP, Assistant Section Manager, for providing this report!

QUA* – As you can tell from the Newsletter, there were many events going on in our Section during September and October! I want to thank everyone for providing capable and effective support for these public service and amateur radio-related activities!
In October, I visited and made presentations at two clubs – the Johnston Amateur Radio Society in Garner (10/16) and W4BFB – Mecklenburg ARS in Charlotte (10/28). I have attended the outstanding hamfests sponsored by these clubs, so the invitations to attend their meetings and interact with their club members were appreciated greatly. Thanks!
In addition, I attended the Western Branch ARES/AUXCOMM Fall Meeting in Morganton (10/25). I would like to thank everyone that made room in their busy schedules to attend the Western Branch Fall Meeting. Please note that similar meetings are in the planning stages for the Central and Eastern Branches. Stay tuned!
I look forward to seeing everyone at JARSFEST 2014 in Benson on Sunday, November 16th.
In closing, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or want to provide input on our Section. I can be reached via email at email@example.com or via cell phone. Thanks for everything you are doing for amateur radio and public service! Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season! 73, Karl Bowman, W4CHX, ARRL North Carolina Section Manager, (919) 669-6068 (cell)

Happy Sunday, post Thanksgiving!!
I had a super great holiday. This year, my goal was to SIMPLIFY so I could actually ENJOY it instead of cooking, cleaning, caretaking. I actually had some down town, other people pitched in and we had a really great time. If I never had another Thanksgiving, I would be satisfied with this one.
As for food etc. I did not track thursday or friday and while I usually have a running total in my head, I really didnt do that. I know I went over my calories but I wasnt a pig about it and I only had 2 drinks.
I am leaving Thursday am to go to an annual racing meeting in Reno where we plan the next years schedule and address any rule changes. It is 2-3 days in a casino, restaurant food and yes, drinking. Our BFF's will not be coming there so it wont be as much fun but it also wont be as much temptation. They are coming the following week for our christmas party (and Kady and Artie's engagement!) so I have a busy few weeks and alot to look forward to.
I barely have christmas shopped and again, simplify will be the key word. Less is more, this year!
So how was your holiday? How did you do? Could you or would you change anything?
Back on track, people. This is your MONDAY WAKE UP CALL!! Get to it!
SO, I am very curious.... What is your plan on Thanksgiving?
Free for all?
Cheat day?
Lighten up traditional meals?
No snacking?
No Pie?
Walking it off?
No celebrating?
I will tell you my plan...
I have lightened up some appetizers (baked chips with fat free sour cream dip, bacon wrapped shrimp, stuffed mushrooms) and have the traditional turkey meal with mashed potatoes ( low fat milk) green beans with almonds (not cream of mushroom soup),wild rice stuffing, gravy that I will make myself skimming off the fat first, low fat corn bread and regular biscuits for options, fresh cranberrie sauce (not canned) and my sister is making mini pies for portion contol.
Now that sounds like I have it all together right? Where could I possibly go wrong?
Eating TOO MUCH of even the "GOOD" food.
Alcohol (specifically champagne) that makes me say, Screw it! It's only ONE DAY!
Not going for a walk.
Being stressed and not taking the time to enjoy the day and the family
SO, we are bringing back poker (we always used to play but havent for a few years) so I will be busy, enjoying people and not just eating, eating, eating.
Tell me your plan then lets talk again friday and compare notes.
Be good, kids. And from my heart, Happy Thanksgiving. I am proud of us. Look what we have done since last year!
Happy Sunday my little sparky pets!
I think this week's homework has to be GRAITUDE, dont you?
I am a pretty grateful person, I count my blessings often but this time of year, it is easier to do that or at least it should be.
We are one of those families who makes everyone say what they are thankful for as we eat dinner together on Thanksgiving. My mom started that tradition many years ago and I am proud to be following in her footsteps on that one as well as being the home where everyone comes. It makes me happy to carry that on. I will be hosting 22 people on thursday. Im looking forward to it. I decided what I am going to say and it is inspired by this.......
I was sitting up early the other morning when Kady's boyfriend, Artie, started talking to me (for those who dont know, my daughter is 22 and her and her boyfriend have been together since they were 14 and have been through alot together, including crohn's disease and a major life altering surgery becuase of it.)
We were talking about Kady getting a secured credit card to build her credit and I advised him to get one too. He told me he got one. At a jewelry store. I said, "really? what are you buying?"
and he shyly said, "a ring".
I started laughing and crying. He is going to propose to her in december at our annual christmas party. They are in a band together and they are doing the song, "stand by your man" (with a rockabilly theme). He is going to ask her in front of everyone, friends and family, right before that song.
I am very excited that they are both doing well and moving forward in their careers and their life together. It is something I am looking forward to and something that makes her dad and I very proud and happy. Im sure it will be a year or two before they get married, but they are heading in the right direction.
I am going to talk thursday about my family and how the women dominate (shocking, I know!) and about our partners who have stood by us, not just the wives, but the whole family. I am going to talk about LOVE and APPRECIATION for those in our lives, sitting at the table, far away and some I have never even met. You will be included in my heart, not just Thursday, but every day.
Spark has changed my life. YOU have changed my life. I have changed my life. And I am grateful.
What are you grateful for?
I had an epiphany today! I understand why I'm so out of whack and being so hungry! The stupid time change!
As I have gotten older, it really messes with me i have noticed. It only took me over a week to figure this out! Something for me to be aware of, obviously.
Some of you noticed that I had lost a couple of pounds. Thank you for the congrats but really it was because I was up 3 pounds so while I am happy the scale is going in the right direction, it feels like less of a victory to lose weight I have already lost.
Let's look at the evidence of the last year. While the blue line is pretty, the yellow one is where I'm supposed to be. Yea,not good. I'm gonna be posting another graph soon. Its gonna be more yellow and more downhill.
I have been so hungry this week! I hate days like that. I have gone over my range every day this week. Some stupid choices that were too high calorie (half a Costco muffin) , some just plain overeating ( did I really need that extra meatball? Did I need cheese on that). ITS REALLY ANNOYING AND IM SICK OF IT!
Somewhere, I will find that I-dont- want -or -need -it- button. Where did I leave it? Can I borrow yours?

Tell us why you think Africa matters to the U.S. Join the conversation on Twitter using #AfricaMatters.
For over a decade now, the continent of Africa, especially sub-Saharan Africa, has undergone a major transformation. In 2000, The Economist referred to Africa as the "Hopeless Continent." This nickname was based on an evaluation of the many disadvantages that characterized the continent: poverty and disease, cycles of conflict, military and dictatorial one-party states, etc. Despite large endowments of natural resources, the continent's economic performance was dismal as a result of poor macroeconomic management and a hostile environment for doing business.
In 2011, The Economist referred to Africa as the "Rising Continent" and a March 2013 issue of the magazine contained a special report referring to Africa as the "Hopeful Continent." These days, Africa is variously referred to in positive terms such as emerging, rising and hopeful. This positive view of Africa is justified—sub-Saharan Africa is the host of some of the fastest growing economies in the world. This growth is not just due to rising commodity prices but is also driven by a more vibrant private sector supported by an improved business climate. There have also been dramatic improvements in governance and economic management. The region has seen major improvements in various sectors of the economy, especially in services. The information technology revolution has become an important aspect of the new Africa, particularly in terms of mobile technologies. As a result of these developments, Africa's middle class is now growing rapidly, and the continent has become a major market for consumer goods. While sub-Saharan Africa still faces many development challenges, it is a far cry from the one described by The Economist in 2000. Africa is indeed on the path to claiming the 21st century.

At Gemvara, we believe that the jewelry you wear should be one of a kind, like you. That's why we make each piece to order, one at a time, just the way you want it. Choose pearl and rose gold or tourmaline and white gold: it's your choice. Mix and match gems and precious metals for a look that's exactly you. It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from an engagement or holiday to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Celebrate this Christmas with a personalized piece of jewelry that shows how much you care. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft your pear iolite jewelry design with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. Iolite is the gem of exploration. When Leif Eriksson and the other legendary Viking explorers ventured far into the Atlantic, they used a naturally polarizing iolite lens to determine the exact position of the sun to navigate safely to the new world and back. Gemvara's iolite is carefully oriented and cut for maximum brilliance. Iolite is the gem of the 21st anniversary. Pear shape gemstones are like drops of brilliant rain, the teardrops of the gods made brilliant by the cutter's art. Our wide selection of pear iolite jewelry by Randy Dixon, Gemvara Essentials, Damon Washington, and other talented designers means you can find jewelry that's exactly your style. You can also shop by style, choosing our Statement, Featured PURE, or Claddagh Collections. Gemvara's fine quality pear iolite jewelry is designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.
With a little care, your fine jewelry will keep its good looks forever. The best way to clean your jewelry is by soaking it in a bowl of warm water with a few drops of ordinary dish detergent. If needed, use a soft brush where dust and soap can collect. Then just rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth.
You won't have to clean your jewelry as often if you put it on after applying hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics. Be sure to remove your jewelry before strenuous activities like sports. Keep jewelry away from chlorine and other household chemicals. Always make sure it is dry and clean by wiping with a cloth before putting it away.
To protect the beauty of your jewelry, don't keep it in a tangle in a jewelry box. Remember, gems can scratch metal or each other. When you travel, make sure your jewelry pieces don't rub against each other in your bag. Store each piece separately or wrap each one in tissue paper or a soft cloth.
We want you to love your Gemvara jewelry, so we offer a 101-day no-questions-asked return policy. If you aren't satisfied with your unique Gemvara jewelry creation for any reason, you can send it back in its original unworn condition for a full refund. Each returned piece must have its original tag attached, so leave the tag on until you are sure you love it. If you love it but it doesn't fit, no problem: we offer one free resizing as well.
We stand behind our exceptional American-made quality with a one-year warranty on the craftsmanship of our jewelry. Because the earth is precious too, we make our jewelry from conflict-free gems and recycled precious metals.
We're so convinced that you will love the Gemvara experience, we make it even easier by offering free shipping too. (We're all about making more happy customers. Also have we told you how nice you look today?)
If you have any questions at all about our unique jewelry customization process, our products, or an order you've placed, give us a call at 1-800-436-8803, click to chat, or email us at email@example.com. You'll see for yourself why our customers rave about our personal service.
We can help right away. Chat with a jewelry expert now!

: Nilgiri langurs ( Trachypithecus johnii ) continue to be hunted for the preparation of crude medicines despite the implementation of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Prior to the Act coming into force, these primates were ruthlessly hunted to the brim of extinction.
According to a National Studbook on Nilgiri langurs published in May this year by the Wildlife Institute of India and the Central Zoo Authority, poaching continues to be a main threat to Nilgiri langurs. The studbook says the primates were being hunted mainly for their pelt, blood, flesh and organs to produce crude medicines and even so-called aphrodisiacs.
Before the Act came into force, such medicines were freely available with traditional medicine practitioners in Kerala and the products were even advertised. 'Karingkorangu Rasayanam' was one of the leading products available then. Later the Kerala Forest Department launched a publicity campaign to save the Nilgiri langurs. Though the campaign produced desirable results, the langurs are still not free from poaching; medicines brewed from the flesh, blood and organs of these primates are available illicitly and are said to be very costly.

Tennessee ready to tip off tourney
Lady Vols help open the games at 11 a.m. ET Saturday (ESPN2/ESPN3.com)
Tennessee coach Pat Summitt got a laugh as ESPN dug up old photos of her playing days at Tennessee-Martin in the 1970s to use during the NCAA tournament selection show. The Skyhawks are in the NCAA field for the first time this year, and their most famous women's basketball alum is very happy for them.
She doesn't have to be concerned with making their stay a very short one; UT-Martin is the No. 15 seed in the Philadelphia Regional and faces No. 2 seed Duke in the first round.
Summitt, whose Lady Vols are in the Dayton Regional, spoke during her weekly teleconference about her memories of playing at UT-Martin.
"I wanted to go to Belmont, but my dad didn't want me living in Nashville," Summitt recalled of her college days. "He just dropped me off at UT-Martin. I didn't have a choice.
"Shortly after that, the Chi Omega sorority -- I didn't even know what a sorority was -- came and said, 'You are going to come with us, pledge our sorority, and we are going to have the best basketball team UT-Martin has ever had.' That's how it all happened."
Hmmm imagine if recruiting were anything like that today.
One thing you can be sure no one ever had to coax from Summitt when she was playing ball at UT-Martin was how to get after it. And while she has been pleased overall with how her top-seeded Lady Vols have played this season, there's one lingering problem that still bothers her.
"I struggle when you have to coach effort," said Summitt, echoing a refrain we've heard about Tennessee the past couple of years. "Those days are probably the days that bring out the worst in me, but hopefully allows me to bring out the best in the team. I do know that my voice is strong and I have to be there."
Summitt has indeed "been there" an amazing amount of the time in the 30-season history of the NCAA tournament. She is seeking her 19th Final Four appearance. Tennessee is hosting early-round games and gets started Saturday with Stetson (ESPN2/ESPN3.com, 11 a.m. ET).
Also in Knoxville, Tenn., will be No. 8 seed Marquette versus No. 9 Texas (ESPN2/ESPN3.com, 1:30 p.m. ET Saturday), among the nine teams from the Big East and seven from the Big 12 that are in the NCAA tournament. However, there are only four SEC teams in the field, with Kentucky (No. 4 seed, Spokane), Vanderbilt (No. 10, Spokane) and Georgia (No. 6, Dallas) joining Tennessee.
Summitt didn't try to put any spin on the SEC's down season, which has one job open since Van Chancellor resigned at LSU.
"It hasn't been our best year by any means," Summitt said of the SEC. "I wish we could've gotten more teams in. That sends a message to this league. It's not that these teams didn't want to win, but for whatever reason -- injuries in some instances -- some teams were down."
That wasn't the case for Tennessee, however, as the Lady Vols won the SEC regular-season and tournament titles while losing just twice: to Georgetown, 69-58, in the Paradise Jam tournament in the Virgin Islands in November, and then at Baylor, 65-54, in December.
That loss to the Hoyas certainly had Tennessee fans worried that maybe this squad might not have the focus needed to make a run at the national championship. But it ended up being just an early-season hiccup, and nothing more.
This has been a perimeter-oriented Tennessee team, led by senior Angie Bjorklund (11.1 ppg), junior Shekinna Stricklen (12.6) and freshman Meighan Simmons (13.7). Simmons has played extremely well, but Bjorklund, in particular, has been very important as a steadying influence.
"She has a calmness effect on our team," Summitt said. "A lot of times, that's been good for Shekinna, Meighan and Kamiko [Williams] -- the people on the perimeter -- because of how she goes about getting open and how she doesn't get into that panic mode very frequently."
One team in Tennessee's region could have gone into panic mode full-throttle, but didn't: No. 4 seed Ohio State. The Buckeyes were struggling until things started to click Feb. 10 with a victory over Purdue that started a string of nine consecutive wins for Ohio State, which like Tennessee is hosting the early rounds. The Buckeyes open with Central Florida (ESPN2/ESPN3.com, 1:30 p.m. ET Saturday).
If seeds hold to the Sweet 16 in the Dayton Regional, Ohio State star center Jantel Lavender will go against a multi-faced Tennessee post attack that includes Kelley Cain, Vicki Baugh, Alyssia Brewer and swing player Glory Johnson.
"The one thing that always concerns me is they take themselves out of the game early," Summitt said of her post players, who've dealt with various injuries all season. "So we are addressing that. A healthy Kelley Cain is going to give Tennessee one of the best post games in the country, along with Vicki Baugh and Lyssi Brewer.
"Taking those three players with the size they have, that opens up Glory Johnson to not just be an inside post player. I think those three players are the key to us continuing to win throughout this tournament."
The versatility from the 6-foot-3 Johnson has been highly valuable.
"This has been a year of great maturity for Glory and for her game," Summitt said. "She's a player that doesn't stop when practice ends; she's going to go get more reps in. She's going to do everything she can to improve her skill set, which obviously has had great improvement overall."
The Nos. 2 and 3 seeds in Dayton, Notre Dame and Miami, have very different NCAA histories. The Irish have been to the Final Four twice, winning the 2001 NCAA title, while the Hurricanes have gone as far as the Sweet 16 only once in their six previous appearances in the NCAA tournament.
None of the top teams in Dayton can quite match Tennessee in terms of depth, but that's because few in the country can. It's one of the Lady Vols' biggest assets as they begin a journey toward what they hope will be their ninth NCAA title.
"I think it really brings a lot of confidence throughout the team to know that we have a lot of options," Summitt said. "When they hold each other accountable -- which they've learned to do this year -- that gives us a chance as a coaching staff to see them take ownership and do something special day in and day out."

The Nice Carnival, also known as Le Carnaval de Nice, is one of the most spectacular carnivals in world. It's already in full swing, with the Nice Carnival 2011 taking place from February 18th-March 8th.
More than 1,000 musicians and dancers from around the world are taking part in the spectacular processions gracing Nice's famous Place Masséna during Carnival. These parades are made up of 20 different floats, all keeping to the 2011 Nice Carnival theme, 'King of the Mediterranean'.
As well as the elaborate costumes and magnificent parades, you'll find plenty more to enjoy during the Nice Carnival including the famous 'flower battles' taking place on the Promenade des Anglais. Showers of colourful flowers fall like rain on the waiting crowd during this unique event. What's more, a big percentage of the beautiful blooms used in these displays are produced locally.

Our problem with this hotel began way before our stay began. We e-mailed the concierge to ask for hotel reservations and to book a massage and car from the airport. I needed to send a second request in order to get a response from the concierge. When I responded to that concierge to ask him to make a booking for the car and at a restaurant he recommended, he did not respond or confirm or in fact, make the bookings. Frankly, it was rude.
Then, when we arrived at the hotel, the concierge was unknowledgeable and seemed annoyed when we asked for confirmation of our dinner reservation. For example, we specifically were looking forward to the fireworks on Saturday night to celebrate the 170th anniversary of Tivoli. The concierge told us that there were no fireworks. Thankfully, we asked several other people at local restaurants who confirmed that there were in fact fireworks. There were other concierges that were helpful throughout our stay (Gitte), but our experience was tainted by the initial interactions with the concierge.
Secondly, we were celebrating our honeymoon and upon arrival, we were told that our order for a king sized bed was merely a request. We were given a room with two twin beds, which really ruined our experience. We had come from Paris, where we stayed at a Westin. That hotel upgraded our room and provided champagne and French macaroons. The Royal Blu did nothing- not that we were expecting us, but they couldn't even provide us a room with the bed that we ordered. When I asked if I could pay for an upgrade, the receptionist wanted to charge me 300 dollars to switch rooms on the second night of our stay.
Finally, I travel abroad several times a year. I try to stay at a Radisson on several of these occasions, partially to gain points through their rewards program. I was told upon arrival that we couldn't earn points because I booked the hotel through a travel agent. Because I was busy at work and couldn't book the trip by myself, I was essentially penalized by the hotel. There is no reason why I shouldn't be allowed to earn points, at the money still went to the hotel. When I complained to the receptionist, they did not give a reason why I could not earn the points.
The location is quite good- right across from Tivoli in the center of the city, but there are others that might better at servicing tourists and those hoping for a special weekend. The gym was also very nice and comprehensive.

'Doctor Who' Season 8 Will Premiere on the Big Screen
Earlier this month, 'Doctor Who' showrunner Steven Moffat teased a "big introduction" and a "dynamic" hour of television for the series' eighth season premiere, and nothing says "big" and "dynamic" quite like a giant viewing on a massive screen. The BBC has just announced that they are indeed going literal with Moffat's promise: the new season premiere will bow on a big screen near you.
Even Dwayne Johnson Doesn't Want to Watch This Clip From 'Hercules'
You know the drill by now: a big star hits up a late night talk show to chat, laugh, maybe play a game, plug their latest project, and show a clip. It's a standard way to do things, but you know who doesn't care about standard ways of doing things? Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. And, really, who are we to argue with him?
Comic-Con 2014: Go Inside With Our Massive Photo Gallery
If you're jonesing for some Comic-Con action, but can't make it down to San Diego for the festivities, we've got just the ticket: a massive photo gallery that includes looks at what's happening on the floor, out in the crowd, even on the streets of SD. Comic-Con isn't just panels and trailers (and, yes, lots of waiting in line), it's a full experience that that has to be seen to be believed. If you can't really see it, this should suffice quite nicely.
'Once Upon a Time' Unveils Their Live-Action Elsa
ABC's series 'Once Upon a Time' has already plowed through a hefty number of fairy tale characters and stories in its three seasons on the air, so it wasn't a huge surprise when the show decided to add in some newish tales -- it was, however, a bit of a shock that they had snagged Disney's smash hit 'Frozen' to make the leap to the small (and live-action) screen.
Comic-Con 2014: 'Hot Tub Time Machine 2′ Trailer Swirls Into the Future
It's time to dive back into the madness and the mayhem of time travel that hinges on how a hot tub does or does not properly perform, because the first trailer for 'Hot Tub Time Machine 2' is here, and it's sudsy and silly as all get out.
'Guardians of the Galaxy' Featurette: Getting to Know Gamora and Nebula
Family trees in the Marvel universe -- cinematic or purely comic book -- tend to be a little twisted. When it comes to James Gunn's upcoming 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' that's definitely still the case, thanks to a pair of adopted sisters that look poised to spend the film's runtime slowly moving away from each other and towards opposite ends of the personality spectrum, with plenty of hand-to-hand combat to keep things strange.
Jimmy Kimmel Reveals a Terrifying New Wonder Woman
Marvel has been making some big changes to its standard comic book lore lately -- introducing both a new female Thor and a new black Captain America over the course of mere days -- and rival comic book giant DC does not want to be left behind. DC is progressive, too, you guys, and what better time to unveil their new take on a beloved superheroine than during Comic-Con week? It just makes sense!
Louis C.K. Owes Ricky Gervais a Big Thank You
If there's one thing you need to remember about comedians, it's that despite the chuckles, belly laughs, and guffaws that they can inspire in other people, they tend to be kind of grumpy on their own. Just look at Ricky Gervais! He's been nominated for yet another Emmy (he's already won two), but all the guy can think about is the thank you that's owed to him from yet another comedian, who just so happens to also be an Emmy nominee.
Remember That Time Jimmy Fallon and The Rock Had Their Own Work-Out Tapes?
Do you remember the Fungo Brothers? That mismatched sibling duo who were hellbent on creating bold, innovative workout techniques that were years ahead of their time? You know them! They invented the Thigh Master before it was, well, the Thigh Master. Not ringing a bell? That's okay, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Jimmy Fallon are here to help.
Gary Oldman Death Supercut Proves That Gary Oldman Dies A Lot
Sure, when you think of actors who have died a lot on screen, there's probably one name that instantly comes to mind: Sean Bean. But don't let the 'Game of Thrones' actor's constant dying-off fool you, there are lots of other actors who bite it all the time. Like Gary Oldman, who is apparently in the top ten of actors who die the most on screen (who exactly is crunching these numbers?).

Weisman argues persuasively that the Japanese should admit that they were wrong to bomb Pearl Harbor and that they were, to an extent, responsible for their own suffering in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
It seems to be a cultural habit to assess relative guilt. But where does it get us? Each side tends to hold fast to its opinion and goes away angrier than before.
I am not suggesting that it is not of value to explore history and motivation. But as long as we blind ourselves to our essential connectedness, we are bound to progress from war to war. LAURA SCHREIBER WASHBURN Amherst, Mass.
