UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) -- A state delegate from Prince George's County says he was beaten and robbed after he offered to give a group of young men a ride to a home in Upper Marlboro.
Democratic Del. Darren Swain tells WRC-TV (http://tinyurl.com/m2sm3rg ) that his car, wallet and cell phones were taken early Sunday morning.
One person has been arrested in the case. Court documents show 19-year-old Keion Naylor is being held on charges including assault and theft.
Swain says he picked up the young men at a gas station after they asked for a ride. After driving to a home in Upper Marlboro, he says he asked to use a bathroom. That's when he was attacked. Swain says he's physically OK and that his car and other property were recovered.

The Everett Clinic has been named one of FORTUNE® Magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For." The Clinic is extremely excited to have earned a coveted spot on this prestigious list. This year's "100 Best Companies to Work For" list includes some of the country's best-known and most successful companies including Google, Starbucks, Mayo Clinic, Microsoft and DreamWorks.
The Everett Clinic ranked No. 91. The Clinic's high priority on providing 100 percent coverage of employee health insurance premiums and profit sharing of up to five percent of pay were among the top reasons for the recognition, according to FORTUNE®.
The Clinic is one of 13 healthcare organizations nationally to make the list and one of only two medical organizations on the West Coast.
To pick the 100 Best Companies, FORTUNE® partnered with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. Two-thirds of the Clinic's score was based on the results of an employee survey. The survey included questions to measure levels of trust, pride and camaraderie within the workplace.
The other third of the scoring was based on the Clinic's response to the Institute's Culture Audit, which included detailed questions about workplace practices including compensation, paid—time off and benefit programs, internal communication, hiring, training and development opportunities, appreciation and recognition programs, giving back to the community and how the Clinic encourages fun among staff.
The full 2010 FORTUNE® "100 Best Companies to Work For" list and related stories appeared in the Feb. 7 issue of FORTUNE® Magazine and is viewable now at fortune.com/bestcompanies.

HCG not qite double...BTDT??
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 10-08-2012 - 5:47pm
Hi, it's Karri. I have been on and off of here numerous times in the last 2 years with 8ish losses. I have another BFP and I am trying to stay positive, but man is it tough. I had betas drawn Sunday (15 DPO) and today (17 DPO) and the values were 73.8 and now 130. It's almost double, but not quite so of course I am terrified. I know I have to just relax, but I haven't had good luck and I was just hoping that the numbers would double and my mind would be at ease. My doubling time is about 60 hours. I did read on one site that 31-72 hrs for doubling time is fine if the hcg value is less than 1200, but I have always heard 48 hrs or less. I am just curious if anyone else had HCG values that didn't quite double and if things turned out okay. I have to go back Friday for more labwork. Thanks for your input.

hi Karri....anytime, you've had recurrent losses, it's completely normal to doubt 'whatever', when you 1st get a bfp!
Heck, after getting my bfp, I waited 5 days before calling my dr. to set up 1st u/s. I am almost 5 weeks & I set it up for Nov. 2 (8 weeks). My average loss if 7, 8 weeks. (and it's usually a missed m/c) to where, I don't start bleeding, there is just no hb, once checked.
And I haven't said anything to my family, so this time, if this bean doesn't make it? I don't have to go thru all the "I'm sorry's"......it's sad to know we have to think this way, to be prepared, in case this one doesn't work out too.
And if it does work out & everything will be fine? I won't be sure 'how' to react? I will probably just break down 7 cry!
I am in the 'waiting game' too....nothing else you can do, but wait & see what happens. Praying for our rainbows!!
|Tue, 10-09-2012 - 2:43am
I dont' have any experience with HCG numbers myself but bein the CL here I've seen a lot of women's results and under 72 hours is always a great start. Welcome to the board and I hope your stay is long and uneventful. KUP on friday's numbers
|Mon, 10-08-2012 - 8:52pm
|Mon, 10-08-2012 - 7:36pm
yeah since I got pregnant a week after my loss they checked my numbers every 48 hours for the first two weeks. I called the next day everytime for the reassurance. If your nervous I would call your doc/midwife tomorrow and ask what they think about it, just for the extra confidence.... I knew that websites all said 48-72 was good, but I wouldnt have felt okay about it unless I asked her... It will give you a chance to ease your mind. Hope fridays numbers are great!

First, let me say congrats on your BFP!!! Second, I had the same thing they doubled about 62 hours and i was freaking out, so i called my midwife after I got the results and she said she was completely satisfied as long as they were in 72 hours. I'm now 16 weeks and everythings good. I was very worried too.... I think after having losses we worry about everything, especially tests and numbers! Are they going to redraw in a couple of days? sending prayers for a sticky bean.

I have a 2 boys .. one 20mo and the other 2mo. My 20mo gets jealous when I have to deal with the younger one. When I breastfeed the 2mo, my eldest wants to be in my lap and tries to push the baby out of the way. He has hit, bit and also thrown toys at the baby. His fits have progressively gotten worse and he barely listens to us. How do I make this easier on ALL of us? I try to spend any down time (from the baby) with my 20mo old but I am not thinking its enough..
Any suggestions would be great!!
Man that can get dangerous!
He wants attention, and if you're giving it to him when he's misbehaving (even if the attention comes in the from of yelling or lecturing) it's reinforcing his bad behavior. I don't know your parenting style, but have you read love and logic? It suggests staying calm, putting them in their room, door closed, and not speaking to them(but you stay by the door so you know they are ok) . Then when they are calm, give them a hug, say I love you and move on (no lectures). when he behaves well, praise him, give him attention for the things you want him to do more of.
Just my 2 cents. For all I know you have already tried this stuff.

We want you to be inspired by what we can do for you.
Every one of our firework displays is a work of art, like the one pictured here on Liverpool's waterfront. We have spent the last 27 years honing our skills, sourcing the highest quality fireworks, polishing our creative flair and painting the sky with art in action.
There is a story that many years ago, when someone asked Picasso to scribble a drawing on a scrap of paper, the famous artist quickly obliged. Handing over the sketch he said 'That will be £50,000 please'. 'But it only took you a minute,' protested the recipient. 'No' replied Picasso, 'it took me a lifetime.' We like to think that our displays are also the result of a lifetime. Well 27 years anyway!
Whatever you are celebrating, wherever you are celebrating, there is almost no situation we haven't already experienced. Please take a look at our pyrotechnic portfolio and be inspired to make a date with Fantastic Fireworks!

Since coming into the world a year ago, the Ferraro quintuplets have gone through their share of baby stuff:
• More than 10,500 diapers have been changed.
• 600 cans of formula have been consumed.
• Bottles have been hand-washed more than 10,500 times.
Source: John Ferraro
FULLERTON – A year ago -- Sept. 26, 2012, to be exact -- the Ferraro quintuplets entered the world amid much fanfare.
And while life has been hectic at times for the Fullerton family, volunteers have made the daily routine more … well … routine.
As an expression of gratitude, the quints' parents, John and Meryl Ferraro, on Saturday hosted a birthday bash and invited the dozens of volunteers who've helped rear the little ones over the past year.
"I'm so thankful that the people who stepped up, did," said Meryl Ferraro, 40. "We don't know how we would have done it without them."
In the early months, more than 100 volunteers pitched in. Close to 20 are still involved regularly.
Nearly all the volunteer nannies are the Ferraro's fellow congregants from the Evangelical Free Church in Fullerton.
"My youngest just graduated from high school so I wanted to hold some babies," said Robin Ruschman, 54, of La Habra Heights, who found out from her bible study group that the family needed help.
"We do baths," Ruschman said. "And we have an hour of play time and that is just a ball."
The volunteers typically put in four- to six-hour shifts.
Kathy Dascomb, 46, of Fullerton takes a 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. shift about every 10 days.
"I've never had kids of my own so I wanted to have that spiritual part of my heart filled with all these babies," Dascomb said. "
The extra caregivers allow Meryl Ferraro, a nurse, to work one day a week at St. Jude Outpatient Surgery Center in Fullerton. She plans to add a second day soon.
"I think (the volunteers) made all the difference in the world, especially for my wife," said John Ferraro, 38.
Generosity has come in other forms, as well.
Virtually all of the baby clothes and diapers – up to 25 a day – are donated.

Was Star's heart issue from the combine resolved? Wonder if that is scaring people and causing him to drop?
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
ziggy hood stinks.
arguing otherwise is funny.
I remember when folks didn't think Keisel could hold the gap and play the run. He used to get pushed around far worse than Hood. And his game rounded out in about his 3rd year full time.
I agree for now and think it's horribly frustrating watching Hood get pushed around by 1 guy given that he's a first rounder that's supposed to be making a difference. But I'll give him this year as his make or break year after watching how long it took Keisel to develop into the position. And I do give Hood credit for working out hard. It's not like he's not succeeding because he's lazy in the offseason.
Am I the only one that is getting nervous about the draft? I've been waiting for this day for months...but nervous about when the Steelers are up to draft.

After going out of Season 14 of The Amazing Race thanks to a U-Turn (by Margie and Luke), Amanda Blackledge and Kris Klicka, 27, met the same fate on Unfinished Business, becoming the first team to get eliminated after incurring an automatic U-Turn and falling behind on the second half of a double leg in Australia. "I wouldn't say it's harder to swallow because it's our own fault," Amanda, 25, tells TVGuide.com. "It's not like it's easier blaming other people. Yeah, Margie and Luke U-Turned us last time, but I don't think it's anyone's fault when you're eliminated — last time or this time." Find out how far behind the couple was, why it took them so long to get to Town Hall, and if they'd run the Race again.read more
It's time to hit the road again on The Amazing Race — with plenty of familiar faces. The CBS reality hit returns Sunday with 11 veteran teams who had never won before to settle, as the season's subtitle says, some Unfinished Business. "These are teams that have been so incredibly popular that it was an opportunity to bring back some favorite teams that have favorite stories," host Phil Keoghan tells TVGuide.com. "They're teams that have really been walking around with the 'woulda, coulda, shoulda' ever since they got kicked off. It's like, enough moaning; come back and give it another shot and no more excuses."Check out photos from The Amazing RaceBut casting Unfinished Business — the show's second all-star outing after Season 11 — was as hard as designing the Race itself. For one, Season 13 wound up not being represented at all, even though fan favorites Toni and Dallas, who lost their passports, seemed like shoo-ins. "It really comes down to whether you think that story of theirs is really stronger than that of anyone we've got," Keoghan says. "There are a lot of other teams, but I feel pretty confident that the teams we've got have the best stories and the best motivation for coming back."So why are these 11 also-rans the cream of the crop? Keoghan explains the show's picks below.read more

The 'road' will get tougher for Celtics
As rare as a bleeding, pink steak. That's how often playoff road wins used to come for the Boston Celtics. Now, after five road wins in the first three playoff series', winning on the road no longer seems so tough. (Jimmy Toscano, CelticsBlog)
"We were still young in 08," said Ray Allen. "We weren't really great winning on the road … we weren't comfortable; we were still trying to figure it out. (Rajon) Rondo had never been in the playoffs before, so you know, it was like we were just carrying everybody along with us like, 'ok this is what's going to happen this is what's going to go down' … I think Rondo has grown tremendously and definitely (Kendrick) Perkins." [...]
"Rondo, Perk- it's no big deal to them anymore," Rivers said.
"We have the focus, we have veterans, and I think when you play on the road that's what you've got to have," said Pierce. "Most young teams get intimidated by the road and that's why they can't win. But you have a team that's very confident, very poised and has all the characteristics that you need to win on the road. (We've) got the toughness. That's what you're going to need."
The Celtics have the mental toughness they need to win on the road. They are now a battle-tested and cohesive unit that can win at any gym on earth, having improved vastly in their green uniforms since '08. But to win the Finals, they will have to take their road improvement to the ladder's next rung.
Why will they have to get any better? They've been fine on the road, right? Yes, they've been fine, but just fine won't be enough anymore.
Not only are the Celtics playing their best and most experienced opponent of this postseason, but they'll also inevitably have to close out the series on the road. Why, you ask, do they have to win it on the road? Can't they win it at home? Well they could, but the foolish 2-3-2 format used in the Finals will make it almost impossible. The C's only possibilities to end the series on their own court will be Games 4 and 5 — does anyone see a Celtics sweep or 4-1 victory in the cards? Yeah, me neither.
I don't know why the NBA switches formats for only the final round and I won't start running my mouth about why it's such a stupid idea, but I DO know that the 2-3-2 format makes things more difficult for the Celtics. Since the beginning of the Big Three era, the Celtics have only closed out one series at home (Detroit in '08). Now they'll be forced to do it in the Finals, against an opponent that's probably the best team the Celtics have played in the Big Three era. Sick, huh Celtics fans?
Homecourt disadvantage hasn't amounted to anything in the last couple rounds, but the disadvantage in the Finals becomes a little bigger. Maybe the regular season and that miserable fourth seed actually do mean something, after all?
When it comes to closing out a series, there's no place like home. If they want to win the franchise's 18th banner, the Celtics will have to kick off their shoes and make themselves comfortable in the Staples Center. But I must warn you: Closing out teams on the road is tough, but closing out Kobe on the road is a whole other animal.
One Response to "The 'road' will get tougher for Celtics"
Homecourt disadvantage is absolutely a concern. Still, for the sake of positive vibrations, lets examine the altered format as if the glass were half full.
1. LA and Boston are farther apart than Tiger woods and his wife. Geographically speaking, 2,605 miles by plane 2,983 by car. Trust me, I wiki-answered it bitch. If the series goes 7 games (which I think it will) the 1-1-1 format would require both teams to travel across the Country 3 times in 6 days, between June 11th, the day after game 4, and game 7, on the 17th.
Factor in the four hour time difference and you're talking about some serious jet lag.
Although the added travel would probably effect both teams, it's safe to assume it could do more damage to the stiffening joints of the C's.
2. Paul Pierce will be on his So-Cal grind. You guys wrote that Paul is easily the best player to ever come out of the greater Los Angeles area. I'd have to agree.
Obviously, Paul has family and social connections in LA–the city generally gives him daps.
Pierce's relationship with his hometown is far different than say, Kobe's relationship with Philadelphia (although Kobe would probably claim his hometown is Rome, being that he is a pretentious prick).
When Paul gets to LA he'll probably be met by Snoop Dogg, kurupt and a couple of voluptuous, video vixens clutching buckets of fried chicken.
Finally, as far as the actual fan influence in the Staples Center, I don't see any issues. You know your fan base is soft like Andrew Bynum when you have to rely on Jessica Biel and Toby McGuire to give you a lift.
Sorry Jack.

PBL-Problem Based Learning. Flipped Instruction. 21st Century Classrooms. Rubrics. Digital Citizenship. These are some of the buzz words that students, teachers and parents of Decatur ISD are going to learn in the upcoming months as DISD kicks off its Future Ready Project.
What does it mean to be Future Ready? As a parent—that's what I am asking myself. My definition of school in general is to prepare the children for the future, correct? But, as a teacher, I answer the question differently. While of course we are preparing our students for their future, we are also preparing them for a workplace that has not been defined—meaning our ever-changing, fast-paced technology society has not dictated its next step, so our children must be prepared to creatively and collaboratively design the newest professions and workplaces.
When I was in high school, I did not own a cell phone, a personal computer, or an ipod. In fact, I would record songs off the radio onto a cassette tape so that I could make my own "mix." Teachers pressed us to read news magazines and watch the nightly news to learn about current events because apparently we never knew what was "going on in the world." Today, my soon-to-be-6th grader has her favorite songs (already on a playlist), up-to-the-minute news information (actually, ANY information!), constant communication (including long distance!), and a camera at her fingertips. She lives in a digital world where, according to her, Google has all the answers she needs.
My job as a teacher is to give her a question Google cannot answer.
Decatur ISD has partnered with Abilene Christian University in a plan to redefine classroom instruction to fit the mold of students in the 21st Century. In this plan, teachers and administrators will complete an intensive three-year training and implementation process to give them the tools to change current instructional models. Some of these tools include buzz worlds like problem-based learning. In problem-based learning, the teacher provides a driving question for students that targets the state objectives the students are responsible to learn. Students then actively research the question to find an accurate answer by using a variety of resources including but definitely not limited to Google. In fact, the key to a perfect driving question is its innate "ungoogleablitity." (Yes, students might even create new words.) Students work on a team and must collaborate effectively to research and present the answer professionally. Throughout the entire process the teacher facilitates the research, keeps students on target, spot checks with quizzes or classroom discussion on the topic, etc. The classroom climate changes from the teacher being "Google" to the students doing the work behind Google. In the end, students should not just know the "what" but the "why," "how," and "why are we learning this," too. But, problem-based learning is only a piece of this puzzle, and the ultimate mission behind the Future Ready Plan is to create student-centered classrooms where students will learn digitally,
think creatively, and compete globally.
As parents, we need to open our minds to educational change, and understand that classrooms today do not look and feel like the classrooms we had. We had textbooks; our kids have ipads. No longer can we "turn to Chapter three and begin reading," because sometimes the class doesn't even have a textbook. Your child's work will look different. Where you might have completed twenty-four math problems every night for homework, your child might be playing a video game tournament to analyze numerical place value in the game scores. And, that's ok. Every teacher and administrator wants to reach every student and provide that student with an amazing educational experience. This shift in classroom culture will stretch everyone—students, teachers, and parents. Our kids are ready with a cell phone in one hand and an ipad in the other. It's our job to push them into the unknown.

I've been in a foul mood lately. I don't know why but it's resulting in me not doing very well with my food intakes, exercise, ect. I'm trying to pull myself out of this funk. I went and bought myself some new workout gear to motivate myself. I did pretty well today calorie-wise. I'm going to continue to try my best to stay on track. Have a good night everyone.
I think I did better with my food intake today. My husband made me a sandwich for lunch and it wasn't exactly the greatest nutrient wise. He made himself one with summer sausage, cheese, and mayo and I guess he made me one too. I know he was trying to be helpful but we don't eat the same and I have a hard time saying anything because I don't want to come off as a bia. Any suggestions would be helpful because I tend to come off pretty harsh. I avoided the cake at work. I don't understand why they have to constantly have cake there. I made some delicious turkey chili for dinner. Perfect for a cold rainy day. I switched up my boxing for kickboxing. My legs are so sore! I still managed to walk my pups though. Now I don't want to stand/walk/ect.
First of all�grapefruit protein shakes are disgusting. Yesterday I foolishly thought it would taste good and I was mistaken. I didn't get all my food logged yesterday because I was sick. I went to work and made it through the day but then I came home and slept for 10 hours. I didn't get a workout in.
I feel better today. I didn't do horrible on my food and I made it to boxing and walked my dogs. I had a much better day overall than yesterday and I hope that I keep feeling better.
I feel like I'm back on track! Work wasn't too bad for a Monday. It was less stressful than I anticipated. I went boxing for the 3rd day in a row. I'm so sore now! I took my pups for a walk tonight. I stayed within my calorie range. I'm pretty happy with today!
I did not do so well yesterday. I went boxing and then had a Christmas party and it all went downhill from there. I drank too much. I ate too much. I felt really bad this morning when I got up. But I went boxing. When I went to a mexican place for lunch with my family I did not order any margaritas. That was my big step for today. Normally I would have ordered one to two so I save a ton of calories. I also walked my dogs this afternoon even though I didn't feel like it. I watched my portions at dinner tonight and I stayed on track with my calories today. I think my biggest mistake is trying to make too many big changes at once and that leaves me feeling deprived. If I can take smaller steps and make smaller changes more consistently I think I will have an easier time making lasting changes.

Government urged to opt for clean public transport fleet
The government was invited to give a strong example by converting to autogas the public transport fleet including buses, taxis, ambulances, as well as the vehicles used by government.
Liquigas Malta CEO, Roberto Capelluto said that in Europe, cities like London, Valladolid (110 buses using LPG), Vienna (550 buses using LPG for the past 15 years), Copenhagen (180 buses using LPG), Madrid, Brussels (the Municipality's car fleet) all make use of autogas, while in Tokyo 250,000 taxis are obliged to run on autogas.
"Liquigas is prepared to collaborate with the authorities to make Malta another example of clean fuel user, starting from its public transportation," Mr Capelluto added as he was launching the third AutoLiquigas fuelling station at Wembley Service Station at St Andrews.
He added that Liquigas will keep its promise that the price of AutoLiquigas remains 50 per cent that of petrol as more than 450 cars have been converted since the launch of AutoLiquigas in 2012.
"The increase in volumes, both the number of conversion requests and the authorized conversion kits installers are sending a clear message from the Maltese market: Maltese consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of this source of alternative fuel."
The Minister for Sustainable Development, the Environment and Climate Change Leo Brincat, the Minister for Energy and the Conservation of Water Dr Konrad Mizzi, company representatives Paul Agius Delicata, Stephen Muscat, Jesmar Mifsud and Noel DeBattista, and the owner of the station, Matthew Bonello, were present for the launch of the autogas station, conveniently located on St Andrews Road to serve cars commuting on this main road artery in Malta.
"Since the launch of AutoLiquigas twenty months ago, there has been already a reduction of approximately 120 tons of CO2 per annum, together with significant reductions in NOx and particulate matter. These reductions are set to increase in line with the increase in the number of cars converted to use AutoLiquigas," explained Paul Agius Delicata.
"It is clear that cars are the main producers of air pollution in Malta. A reduction of such pollutants through the increased use of AutoLiquigas has a direct positive benefit on public health and well being, leading to a lesser necessity in public health expenditure to cure diseases resulting from air pollution. In turn, this public money can be directed towards other necessary and more pressing public health purposes," said Mr Agius Delicata.
The first AutoLiquigas fuelling station was opened in 2012 at Malta International Airport service station, while the second one was launched in June 2013 at Għajn Buqana, limits of Rabat. Liquigas Malta is working towards installing an AutoLiquigas dispenser in Gozo.
AutoLiquigas is much cheaper than petrol or diesel. With the current selling price of AutoLiquigas in Malta at €0.72 per litre, it is half the price of petrol (currently at €1.44), and 53 per cent cheaper than diesel (currently at €1.36). Car conversions are particularly cost effective for those car owners who use their vehicles daily.
"We believe that the positive response from the market will increase in a natural way as more drivers realise the cost benefits of autogas and switch over to AutoLiquigas. Liquigas Malta encourages public policy makers to increase support for the use of autogas as a fuel substitute through fiscal incentives," said Mr Capelluto.
"The financial incentives in this regard are, in effect, an investment not only in cleaner air, but they will go a long way towards improved health and well-being of Maltese citizens."
Vehicle LPG conversions are being carried out by four authorised autogas installers. LPG conversion results in a dual-fuel car - that is a car that can run on either LPG or petrol at the flick of a switch, even while driving. A switching device will be fitted on the dashboard to allow the driver to select between petrol and LPG. The cost of an LPG conversion is between €700 and €1,200, depending on the vehicle being converted.
However, the initial cost for conversion can be recouped via lower running costs, as one can save up to 50 per cent on fuel costs. As LPG is much cleaner fuel, there is less wear and tear on the car's engine and its life will be prolonged.
Considering the volatile fuel prices and concerns over supply, air quality, climate change and the ongoing global economic crisis, Malta - like other European countries - needs to make optimum use of available energy resources. AutoLiquigas will ease Malta's transition to a low-carbon economy and will be making a meaningful contribution to the EU's efforts to reduce CO2 by 20 per cent by 2020.

Howard College head coach Mark Adams has been named the Texas Tech Men's Basketball Director of Basketball Operations, announced head coach Tubby Smith.
"Mark brings a lot of experience," said Smith. "He is well respected throughout college basketball at every level. He grew up and has lived in the Lubbock area all of his life, outside of the time he has spent coaching elsewhere. We are excited to have him onboard.
"His job will involve many hats. This is a transition for him. This will be a different job description for Mark, but we think he is up for the challenge."
Adams, who led Howard to the 2010 NJCAA National Championship, has won 11 different coach of the year honors. He has served as head coach at Clarendon College (1982-83), Wayland Baptist (1984-87), West Texas A&M (1987-92), Texas-Pan American (1992-97) and Howard College (2005-13). He has a career coaching record of 448-229.
"I am extremely excited and honored on so many levels," said Adams. "I have the opportunity to work with Tubby Smith, come back to my alma mater and be closer to my family."
A 1979 graduate of Texas Tech, Mark and his wife Jennifer are the parents of Luke and Abbie. Luke is junior guard on the Red Raider basketball team, who has lettered for the past two seasons. His daughter Abbie is also a graduate student at Texas Tech.
Coming off of his third 30-win season at Howard after winning the Western Junior College Athletic Conference, Adams has finished first or second in Region V in each of the last nine seasons. He has also recorded 233 wins at the Big Spring junior college since arriving in 2004 and advanced to the regional tournament for nine consecutive years.
During his 23 seasons as a head coach, he has advanced to the postseasons 14 times and reached the national tournament of each school's respective classification eight times (three NJCAA, two NCAA Division II and three NAIA), including leading Wayland Baptist to the NAIA National Final in 1985.

Excerpt from: Come Follow to You, Vol. 3, Chapter 9
"A Jesus is always ready – readiness to go back, readiness to fall back onto the shores – because a Jesus is ripe. And whenever a fruit is ripe, the fruit can say, 'Yet a little while I am with you – with the tree, a little while – and then I go unto him that sent me.' And then the fruit drops to the earth, and disappears into the earth from where it came.
"Whenever you have become ripe, you disappear. That is the meaning of the Eastern concept of becoming free from birth and death. Whenever you become ready, there is no need for you to be thrown back into existence again and again. You are thrown back because you dont learn the lesson. It is like a child who fails every time and has to be sent back again to the same class.
"If he learns the lesson, passes the examination, then he is sent to another class, a higher one. And when he finishes his education, then there is no need to go back there. The world is a training, a discipline. You are sent again and again, because you have not yet learned the lesson. Once you learn it, you are back to the original source.
"Jesus is constantly aware, Buddha is constantly aware. Whether Buddha lasted for forty years and Jesus lasted only for three years, it doesnt make much difference, because in the vast eternity, forty years is just a little longer." Osho

We ask the ELLE Belles what their highlights of the September issue are…
Jenna Robbertse, deputy editor
The La Sardina Cubic Lomography Camera and Flash for R1 144.74 from Exposure Gallery on page 91. Besides the fact that I love taking pictures, I adore the print on the camera and its retro feel.
I loved Leigh Peinke's 'How To Wear Brights' shoot on page 86. The coral monotone look is my absolute favourite – a styling lesson. The sporty hoodie over a perforated cardi is unexpected for a tailored drop-waist dress, which is actually part of a suit. The striped Sissy Boy flatforms are on my wishlist too.
Sarah Koopman, features writer
There is so much to get excited and inspired by in this issue. My favourite read in the issue is Jacqui Watson's piece about moving from Cape Town to Jo'burg on page 142. Her story – from how she felt when she found out she had to move, to what keeps her going through the tough times – is beautifully written, honest and inspiring.
Lynette Botha, beauty editor
Picking my favourite items from this issue is very difficult. I'd have to say it's a toss up between the Dolce & Gabbana 18-carat gold-plated acetate sunglasses on page 93 (summer lust-have), and the awesome Lomography cameras on page 135.
A very obvious highlight for me was the 'Pop Goes Africa' shoot on page 60. It's always great to work with world-renowned model Katryn Kruger. I have never experienced such an intricate, technically challenging shoot. Photographer Damon Fourie did a fantastic job with it, without any of the shadows being done in postproduction. I really love this shoot.
Janice Grant, beauty assistant
'Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes' on pages 56 and 57. I absolutely loved this feature because it immediately got me thinking about all the moments that have changed my life. Each story hit a cord for me somehow, from my best friend whom I would die without to a boy that stole my heart and, of course, the moment I found out about my job here at ELLE. It really gets you thinking about your own life and all the moments that have got you to where you are now. Share your moment that changes your life at elle.co.za.
Jackie Burger, editor
The Britto silk scarf on page 23 is a must for me. Beautiful silk scarves are an accessory essential and can be worn in a multitude of ways. On my radar is next season's take on updating your basic shirt with a clean neck scarf peeping out from a buttoned-up white or contrasting printed shirt – think Miu Miu Winter 2012.
Jenna McArthur, online editor
The highlight of the September issue for me is hands down the '50s-inspired and oh-so-feminine 'She's A Lady' on page 70. I am obsessed with the ladylike charm of it and the clever incorporation of pastels. I love the fact that it was shot on the streets, as it brings the shoot into context. Oh, and I have to mention that the orange and nude lace dress from Mari and Me is coming home with me!
Pam Hothi, managing editor
The spring beauty guide was a huge highlight for me, as it is packed with lots of useful info and inspiration. Check it out on page 117.
Erla Rabe, copy editor
I really love the Christopher Strong dress on page 23 of this issue. It's perfect for summer and so lovely and feminine, it will make me feel like a girl!
Leigh Peinke, fashion assistant
My must-have item from the September issue is the flatform wedges on page 26 of ELLE Edits. The suede and wood flatforms from Sam Star (R769) are very cool.
Suede and wood flatforms, R769, Sam Star (above left) and Cotton espadrille flatforms, R499.95, Sissy Boy (above right).
Annelize Visser, features director
I have three: the winning short story by Katya Lebeque Smith on page 41; Marianne Thamm's story on her daughters' hair on page 46, titled 'The Vocabulary of Hair'; and another great read is 'A Tale Of Two Cities' on page 142 by Jacqui Watson and Nohongo Gzolo.
Poppy Evans, fashion director
My highlight is Asanda's shoot 'She's A Lady' on page 70. The photography, graphics and styling come together beautifully and it oozes modernity.

The Epistemology Directory
A General Rule for Gettier Cases
The Gettier problem challenges the notion that knowledge is a justified true belief. In short, the problem is about accidental knowledge (if there is such a thing) and having a belief that is true while your reason for justification is false. For example, I leave my keys in my jacket pocket hanging over the back of the kitchen chair. While I'm away, my wife comes around and picks up my jacket to throw it in the wash. Noticing that my keys are in my jacket pocket she thinks I'll probably be heading out to soon since I didn't hang up my jacket and put my keys in their respective places. She then places my keys back in my jacket and my jacket back over the chair where they were before. When I return do I have knowledge that my keys are in my jacket? That's the issue. Do I believe my keys are in my jacket? Yes. Is it true my keys are in my jacket? Yes. Am I justified in believing this? Well… probably not since the reason why the keys are actually there are not the reason why I believe they're there. Thus, I have no justification for believing this even though I do believe it and it happens to be true.
Empiricism and Being in the Right Phenomenological Frame of Mind
What if it were the case that justification of our beliefs in propositions describing physical objects is always inferential and that it is always from propositions about the nature of our experiences that such inferences are made.? If this is true, there are two conditions that must be satisfied concerning inferential belief in physical objects:
(1) Statements about experience must count as reasons or evidence for statements about objects.
(2) Statements about experience must in some, no doubt rather obscure, sense be accepted by those who make statements about objects.
Maybe there's reason to doubt (1) and (2) by simply suggesting that that it is not always the case that most people are always in the "appropriate, sophisticated, phenomenological frame of mind." This is certainly true to an extent; so let us refer to this handicap as H. It may be the case person S is intoxicated with alcohol and his phenomenological apprehension may be malfunctioning or that S realizes that his phenomenological apprehension of the external world is not as it should be and is capable of recognizing malfunction.

$100 Laptops Getting Pricier
The future of the term "$100 laptop" is looking dim, as a second project has announced price increases for the low-cost Linux systems. Asus announced yesterday that it's Eee PC, which goes on sale later this month, would start at $260, up from the expected $199 selling price.
A few weeks ago, the One Laptop Per Child Project - often referred to as the "$100 Laptop" - announced that it would begin selling the systems in November for $200 each. The OLPC laptop will only be available under the "Get One, Give One" program, where buyers will pay for two systems: they receive one, and the second will be sent to a child in a developing country.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

In Friday, 03/23/12 at 13.58, I purchased 8 bags of black mulch at the price of $3.15 a bag. I entered the store from the gardening side and checked the mulch I wanted, the least expensive one. Usually you have a letter attached so that it is easy for the clerk to look up when you make the purchase. I checked the availability of the mulch and estimated 12 or 13 bags remained. I bought several other items and went to the garden center to check out.
The check out went fine. The mulch showed as being available and I went for help in loading. I was told that the mulch was no longer available. The Walmart associate pointed to a running truck without a driver and told me this sman was buying the mulch as we spoke. I had already bought and paid for the mulch. I asked to speak to a manager and one was brought within a reasonable amount of time. I explained the problem and showed him my receipt.
He said there had been a mistake and the mulch was no longer available and I should go back into the store and get a refund. I didn't want a refund, I wanted mulch. I am 71 years old 4 ft, 6 inches tall and not able to spread my own mulch and had already arranged for my granddaughter to help me the next day. I know some about computers since I have worked with them my entire life. My sale would have been stopped at the point of sale at the register if the mulch was not available.
This manager knows that the mulch was loaded without being paid for either with the help of your associate or without his knowledge. I believe he had knowledge since he pointed out the running truck to me with the mulch on it. I understand how this could happen, but do not believe it is fair and I would never do this, load an unpaid for product into my vehicle. I play by the rules. I was not offered a rain check, I was not offered a more expensive mulch, (you had one for $3.67).
I would have bought the more expensive mulch if the Associate at the point of sale had told me the other wasn't available. I believe your manager or manager's assistantknew the mulch was illegally loaded, but would rather deal with a 71 year old, short woman than he would the man who had loaded the mulch onto his truck before he paid for it. I was upset and probably makeing a scene in a busy store, but I did not use any profanity or other nasty words.
The manager or assistant manager told me to wait in my car and he would obtain my refund the bring it to me which he did. I know he did this because he wanted no more scene in his store from me. I have been a a good customer and I will not say I will no longer buy from WalMart. Your success does not depend upon me anyway. I am a small person and have a small voice in the common scheme of things. I believe this could have been handled in a better manner. I was right in this case.
The person who had loaded the mulch was behind me in line and probably could not have paid for the mulch until my refund went through. That was why the manager was so eager to do the refund himself. I am tired of people thinking that because we are old, we are stupid. I would bet you I have twice the brains of this manager, because I would never let an older customer, leave my store unhapppy. Older people buy lots of things including things from the pharmacy.
My asthma medications run me $365.00 every three months and that is with Anthem Blue Cross coverage. Stupid, Stupid man. Last year in November, I bought a computer, and two Amazon Kindle Fire,s for my granddaughters. At Walmart. Won't be doing so this year.
Thank you for listening to my vent. I feel better for having let you know. Sincerely, Judith Edwards.

Like the bottom lines of ocean carriers that mostly returned to the black, volume at most of the Top 25 North American ports turned positive last year as the global container trade rebounded from the Great Recession of 2009.
The growth in total volume of loaded containers came as a much-needed boost at all but one of the Top 25 ports. Only Tacoma, which lost calls by Maersk Line ships to nearby Seattle, actually lost ground in combined import and exports volume. In contrast with the period leading up to the recession, most U.S. and Canadian ports now say they have plenty of capacity to meet the increase in near-term demand.
Ports on all three coasts bounced back at vastly different rates, resulting in a shakeup in a few of the rankings of loaded container throughput as measured by PIERS, a sister company of The Journal of Commerce.
Data: The Top 25 North American Ports.
There also were signs of shifts in supply chains.
The top five ports in North America accounted for 56.1 percent of the additional 3.96 million TEUs that moved in and out of all of the continent's ports in 2010 over the year before, concentrating more of the business as the continent's largest ports. The concentration was more pronounced at the top five import ports — Los Angeles, Long Beach, New York-New Jersey, Port Metro Vancouver and Georgia Ports — added 1.6 million of the 2.69 million additional TEU volume that came to North America's top 25 ports last year.
And ports in Mexico grew at a faster rate than their larger American and Canadian counterparts. In all, Mexico's ports grew at more than double the rate of U.S. and Canadian ports for overall volume, although Mexico still accounts for only 7.8 percent of North American container volume.
At the top of the list, the top seven ports maintained their rankings in terms of combined import and export volume. But the Port of Seattle moved into eighth place from 10th place last year, fueled by Maersk Line's move a few miles north. Seattle's jump bumped Houston and Montreal down a notch in the ranking.
But the most dramatic surges in volume growth came at Mexican ports, where combined import and export volume jumped 25.7 percent, compared to 11.7 percent at U.S. ports and 12.1 percent at Canadian ports. Manzanillo and Lazaro Cardenas led the surge as both jumped up two places on the list (Story, page 35), fueled by the 40.2 percent volume gain in exports at Lazaro Cardenas.
The other two Mexican ports, Veracruz and Altamira, remained 18th and 21st, respectively. Manzanillo's move up to 11th place knocked South Carolina Ports down to 12th place. The other two ports that moved down the list were Tacoma, which fell to 13th place from 12th in 2009, and the Delaware River ports, which slid two positions to No. 19.
Most ports are looking beyond the next year or so to focus efforts on expanding capacity to handle the long-term growth in throughput they expect to result from the ever-larger ships with ever-growing numbers of containers expected to call in years to come. The 2008-09 recession, which slowed or reversed the volume growth at all the Top 25 ports, actually gave many port authorities breathing room to catch up on plans to expand or enhance the capacity to handle the long-term growth they project.
On the West Coast, the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which handle about 70 percent of the total coastal volume, are starting major new terminal projects now that they have largely satisfied the environmental protests that delayed expansion for years.
Los Angeles plans to spend more than $3 billion in the next two decades to deepen its access channel, expand marine terminals, add on-dock rail capacity and improve traffic flow through street and bridge improvements in the harbor area. It will add more than 200 acres to existing terminal space.
Projects under way or contemplated include a 500-care terminal at Pier 500, the addition of a berth to the existing China Shipping terminal, a wharf extension at the TraPac terminal, yard expansion at the APL terminal, and reconfiguration of the Yang Ming and Yusen terminals.
Long Beach plans to spend more than $4 billion in the next decade on projects such as replacement of the Gerald Desmond Bridge, enlarging the Pier G and Middle Harbor container terminals and constructing a new container terminal at Pier S. The $850 million Pier G redevelopment project will include filling in a slip and expanding the on-dock railyard to nearly double its capacity.
In Oakland, which also has little room to expand, Ports America is redeveloping the terminal it inherited through its merger with Marine Terminals Corp. The port has a request for proposals to develop the former Oakland Army Base next to the port as a trade and logistics center. Other infrastructure improvements include a five-year extension of the Evergreen Marine lease to 2018 with Evergreen spending $30 million on capital improvements and a lease extension with TraPac that includes $27 million in terminal improvements.
Ports in the Pacific Northwest, which already have plenty of capacity, are working on speeding throughput on their landsides.
Seattle, a mature port that has little room to expand in its downtown location, is working on improving throughput velocity at existing terminals by removing bottlenecks.
Seattle is cooperating with nearby Tacoma and state and local governments to improve its road and rail network and to market the two ports as a gateway for Asian cargo. Their cooperative effort mirrors Canada's Pacific Gateway initiative.
Farther north, the 4-year old Port of Prince Rupert extended its dramatic expansion, with total volume soaring 32 percent in 2010 to 256,619 TEUs, good for 24th place on the Top 25 list. The port will get another bump this year, when China Ocean Shipping and Hanjin Shipping add trans-Pacific services.
About 500 miles south, Canada's largest port, Port Metro Vancouver is developing a robust warehouse and transloading sector that provides value-added jobs and services. The rapid emergence of transloading is helping Vancouver achieve a balance between imports and exports, an advantage for ocean carriers seeking to fill ships in both directions.
East Coast ports that don't have deep water are scrambling to nail down funding to deepen their harbors to 50 feet so they can handle the post-Panamax ships that will start coming through the large new locks of the Panama Canal after 2014.
Related: Viva Mexico!.
The Port of New York and New Jersey has the funding in place and will complete its ongoing harbor deepening project to 50 feet by 2014, but it won't be able to fix the low air draft of the Bayonne Bridge before the Panama Canal's new locks are completed. The port authority has set aside $1 billion to fix the bridge, but it may need more funding. Initial plans call for raising the center section of the existing bridge one lane at a time while traffic continues to move over the existing bridge.
Meanwhile, the port authority acquired two pieces of waterfront land for expansion project: the 98-acre Global Marine Terminal on the Port Jersey peninsula in Jersey City and Bayonne, where it will ask for bids to build a new container terminal next to the Global Marine terminal, and 130 acres at the Marine Ocean Terminal at Bayonne, where it may build a new auto terminal or another container terminal.
Two other East Coast ports will be ready for the opening of the Panama Canal's new locks. Norfolk, part of the Port of Virginia, already has a depth of 50 feet and more than enough capacity with the new 50-year lease that the Virginia Port Authority has to operate the automated APM terminals there.
Baltimore also will be ready, as Ports America will finish a new fourth berth with 50 feet of depth at the existing Seagirt Marine Terminal by August 2012, two years ahead of schedule. Ports America is buying four new post-Panamax cranes that, with a reach of 22 containers across, can handle vessels with a capacity of up to 14,000 TEUs.
Farther south, almost all the ports in the South Atlantic are seeking funding to deepen their harbors. Georgia's Savannah Harbor Expansion Plan, for which the Army Corps of Engineers has issued a draft environmental impact statement for public comment, faces environmental opposition from groups and state officials in neighboring South Carolina.
South Carolina's Port of Charleston, which is close to the open ocean and already has a harbor depth of 47 feet at mean low water and can handle ships of 8,000 TEUs, has started the long process of getting permits and funding for deepening its harbor to 50 feet and beyond. The port also is building a container terminal in North Charleston on the former Navy base.
For Montreal, Canada's second-largest port and 10th overall on the North American ranking with almost 1.2 million TEUs, growth is coming from Asia and Latin America. The port is part of a committee studying the potential for a new logistics and transportation center in the Montreal area.
Houston, the largest port on the Gulf, continues to expand its 4-year-old Bayport Terminal, where it added 1,000 feet of berth and three new cranes. It has joined with Tampa, Fla., and Mobile, Ala., to market the Gulf to Asian carriers as a growing market for all-water container services once the Panama Canal completes its new locks.

Kenneth Docherty has won the right to be re-tried for his role in the 2008 death of Tyson Weber. The Orangeville man was previously convicted of manslaughter.
On Monday (Nov. 19), a three-member appeal tribunal unanimously agreed the judge overseeing Docherty's 2010 trial wrongfully dismissed the possibility of self-defence.
"In my respectful view, the trial judge's jury instruction in this case was defective," Justice Robert Sharpe wrote in the appeal decision.
In June 2010, Docherty was sentenced to 12 years in jail for the stabbing death of Weber. Although Docherty was charged with second-degree murder, he was convicted of the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Catriona Verner, the lawyer who handled Docherty's appeal, said the new trial shows the panel of judges recognized that the jury struggled with the self-defence issue.
"They realized Mr. Docherty was in a difficult position and possibly acting in self-defence," Verner said.
On May 29, 2008, Weber arrived at Docherty's Montgomery Boulevard home to discuss a large debt Weber believed he was owed. In the garage of that Orangeville home, an altercation between the two men ended with Docherty stabbing Weber seven times in the neck.
Docherty later admitted to police that he killed Weber, but said he acted in self-defence. Docherty's lawyer argued Weber's death followed a pattern of harassment and intimidation.
The Crown asked the jury to reject self-defence, as Docherty had numerous opportunities to escape the situation. The trial's judge repeated that position.
"The trial judge made two specific references to the possibility of retreat," Sharpe said.
During the trial, the jury was told Docherty was not obligated to retreat from the alleged threat of Weber. However, the jury was also told Docherty's failure to flee was a factor they could consider.
"There is a long line of authority that a person is not required to retreat in the face of an attack in his or her own home," Sharpe said.
Sharpe explained the jury may have dismissed self-defence, as Docherty did not retreat from his home to avoid the perceived threat posed by Weber.
"I am therefore not persuaded that the verdict would necessarily have been the same but for the misdirection," Sharpe said.
According to Sharpe, the jury acquitted Docherty of second-degree murder and convicted him of manslaughter "on the basis of provocation."
"This suggests both that the jury did not accept the Crown's position that the appellant had simply killed Weber to avoid payment of a debt," Sharpe said. "And that the jury had a reasonable doubt on the issue of whether the appellant was faced with a wrongful act or insult from Weber."
Verner said the new trial date for Docherty is not yet known, but he will likely wait a couple of weeks before he is able to transfer to a provincial jail, where he can begin the process of applying for bail.
"I would suspect it will probably a month before he is back in Orangeville court at which point they can figure out when he is going to get bail," Verner said.

I'm going to Peru next month, and I'm starting to get scared.
That's appropriate, since it's nearly Halloween. But I'm not afraid of goblins or of having our house egged, or even of being alone in the house with all that chocolate.
I'm not frightened of flying to South America — except for the bad airplane food.
Terrorist bombs don't terrify me, nor does the prospect of climbing Machu Picchu. Well OK, I am afraid of hauling my oversized keister up Machu Picchu, on the off chance there's no elevator to the top.
But mostly, I fear airport security.
Let me just say, I don't scare easily. Over my career as a reporter, I've covered gang shootings at midnight, stood in the path of raging wildfires, chased crooked politicians down the street and even made it through algebra with my teenage son.
But the friendly folks at the TSA and their foreign counterparts, that's another matter altogether.
I still remember entering the Cairo International Airport, returning from Egypt two years ago, when we were invited to pay a $20 bribe to cut to the front of the security line.
This offer was made in whispers by the guy who manned the metal detector, who motioned us to come forward to where he was standing. Otherwise we'd have to get in the back of a huge, snaking queue, behind families who looked like they were bringing their entire villages, including donkeys, onto the plane.
Still, it made me mad. I don't pay bribes. So I started repeating the guy's offer to him, but really, really loudly, so the supervisors standing behind him could hear. Sssh, he kept trying to shush me. Finally, he shoved our entire party through the security gates, just to shut me up.
So that worked out, though not the way I'd planned. Then we had to go stand in more long lines to check our bags at Delta Airlines. I am not making this up — about every 10 feet in line, they checked our passports again. As if somehow they might have expired in the interim, which would not have been impossible, considering how long we had to wait in that queue.
Then we were actually able to walk through the airport, until we got searched again when we went into the departure lounge to wait for our flight.
I must digress to explain that Egypt is a deeply conservative country where it's a bit shocking just to see a woman's hair. Even progressive, university educated women cover their hair in public to keep men from being driven into a sexual frenzy.
Nearly every woman is covered from head to toe, and they never meet a strange man's eyes, let alone speak to them or behave as if they might be equals.
So imagine my surprise when I stood in line to enter the airport departure lounge and the grim-faced, Egyptian army guy in combat fatigues with the Uzi who was searching my backpack found something suspicious there.

In other words, the grid lines were drawn to the magnetic bearing but represented as the top of the page and the whole map would have been rotated accordingly. This is what the word orienteering means, that is rotating your map to show the N bearing pointint to magnetic north. In that way, the compass gave us accurate bearings. An error of 5 degrees over half a kilometre will take you a long way from your target. When we used commercial topo maps, we had a declination adjustment (a small screw) on the side of various Polaris, Suunto, and other brands that we could adjust the declination on the compass instead of trying to draw new lines on our map. If the distance is short enough and you have a steady hand (hold your compass flat in front of your chest), you could dial the bearing subtracting or adding the declination first. When I use my GPSr, I never really know if the cache hider has used magnetic or true north, or has even been accurate so what I do is follow an averaged bearing for the distance, then do a perimeter circle left and right keeping the distance constant. This is a specific navigating technique that many orienteers use, particularly those who do long distance routes.

Goldman Cut by Bove; Rivals Next?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Rochdale Securities analyst Richard Bove cut his 2010 estimates on Goldman Sachs (GS), following through on comments he made to TheStreet.com a week ago.
Bove had told TheStreet.com he had heard from bank executives trading was weak in January due to the threat Greece would default on its debt, saying if things did not turn around in a week's time he would cut estimates on Goldman, Morgan Stanley (MS), Citigroup (C) and Bank of America (BAC).
In a follow-up interview Tuesday, Bove said he would have to talk with these companies before decided to cut estimates, though he cited data from the New York Federal Reserve, the Chicago Board Options Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange as all indicative of weak trading activity so far in the quarter.
|Lloyd Blankfein, chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs
Bove said the banks who told him of the weakness in trading activity included Credit Suisse (CS), which he does not cover, and Goldman. He also cited public comments by JPMorgan Chase (JPM) boss Jamie Dimon. He said Goldman still sees a possibility things will turn around in March.A Credit Suisse spokesman declined to comment and Goldman spokesmen did not immediately respond to an email message. Bove retains a "buy" on Goldman and a $200 price target. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.
