Hyundai Azera Lease Questions
dborth Posts: 474My 30-month HMFC '07 Azera lease terminates the middle of April. I recently received a cover letter and documents to complete pertaining to either the purchase of, or returning the vehicle.
While I love the car, the last 29 months has proven than I really don't need a 4-door large sedan now, let alone a slightly larger 4-door like the Genesis. I am however interested in the just now starting to arrive Genesis Coupe.
Here is the telephone exchange with a "customer service" rep. at HMFC Fountain Valley, CA:
1. If I purchase, can I finance with HMFC? "No, we want cashiers check in full"
2. I am interested in the new Hyundai Coupe but a reasonable selection won't be available locally by middle of April. Can I extend the current lease in anticipation of leasing or buying the new Coupe? "No, purchase or turn it in by the date specified on the lease contract"
3. Are you sure about that? "Yes"
One would think if a consumer is dropping off a lease return to the dealer, the manufacturer, and certainly the dealer would want that consumer to leave the dealer in a new vehicle of the same brand. I believe it's referred to as "loyalty". -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Greetings romil01. Hyundai Finance's February buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Azera with 15,000 miles per year are .00136 and 55% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
When negotiating your deal on this car, make sure to take advantage of the $1,000 cash incentive that is currently available on leases of it.

romil01 Posts: 75The following is a lease I signed on a 2013 Azera with Tech Package (all accessories, paint protectant, leather protectant, and window tint included):
36 months / 15,000 miles per year
Residual = 55%
MSRP = $37,565 (asking price $39,040 with dealer options added to include protectants and tint)
Invoice = $34,969
Price Paid = $34,479
Adjusted Cap Cost = $33,962 with $2250 worth of rebates
Out of Pocket = $0 + Free iPad Mini
Total monthly payment including NV sales tax = $480. -
azeraninja Posts: 1I am looking at two Azeras - One in New Mexico and one in Las Vegas, Nv. The New Mexico deal is a 2012, the vegas one on a 2013.
Here is how I calculated the NM Deal. - Their monthly payment was $467 - please tell me what I am missing!?!?
This offer eliminates the doc fees. I forgot to include License fee and Title fee but that should only adjust the payment a buck or two.
Sale price = $32,695
Acquisition fee of $595
= Gross Cap Cost of 33,280
- Cap reductions of $3,352.41 ($2,000 down, $1000 rebate, 352.41 1st payment)
=Net Cap Cost of $29,927.59
Monthly Depreciation = 29,927.59-19,310 / 36 = $294.93
Monthly Finance = 29,927.59+19,310 * .0007 = $34.39
Monthly Payment = 294.93+34.39 = 329.39 * .081(Nv tax rate) = $352.41
Did I do something wrong? Why are our monthly payments almost $100 different!? -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi kd1007. In order to work up a lease payment on this car we need to determine what selling price you should pay. The 2013 Azera that you're interested in probably has a spread of around $2,500 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. Let's say that you are able to negotiate a $2,000 discount on this car.
According to my calculations, if you were to lease a '13 Azera that has an MSRP of $38,000 and a selling price o$36,000 through Hyundai Finance right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $464.

Talk about recycling: Same joke three straight days
Posted By Lynn Bartels On January 13, 2011 @ 2:17 pm In Colorado Legislature,Colorado Politics | No Comments
Gov. John Hickenlooper [1] got a laugh when he reminded lawmakers today that his predecessor, Bill Ritter [2], said during the inaugural no speech should be longer in minutes than the temperature.
(It was 16 degrees Tuesday for the outdoor ceremony.)
"We checked the thermostat on the way in, and it's about 70 degrees in these chambers," the governor said, in his first State of the State speech. (It turned out to be just a shade under 26 minutes.)
But Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp [3], beat the governor to the punch. The Littleton Republican made the same joke the day before, on the opening day of the legislature. He said 76 degrees.
"The governor's going to be borrowing some of our other ideas, too," Republican Sen. Bill Cadman [4] said, with a straight face.

That's primarily because commercial academic publishers have been running a racket. Professors and grad students put blood, sweat and tears into their research and reports using your tax payer dollars through federal funding sources. We then turn over all copyright and permissions to the publishers who hold the research hostage behind exorbitant book prices or online access fees. The result, as Ryan at Savage Minds points out, is this horrible cycle where grad students are shooting themselves to publish in these closed access publications to get a job and get tenure to then tell their grad students they need to publish in these same publications.
Thankfully we are starting to see some change. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is now requiring grantees of the Archaeology Program to report and disseminate the results of their research as widely as possible through such data management services as Open Context and The Digital Archaeology Record (tDAR). Many publishers will also grant permission for authors to post their individual journal articles or book chapters (for an edited volume) on their personal websites or Academia.edu--all an author has to do is ask! (copyright addenda also help). Some journals are also beginning to offer web-only open access content.
For my non-archaeologists friends out there though, I wonder: is this enough? Shouldn't the research that you, essentially, are paying for be free and available to you? To encourage this sea change, shouldn't tenure be based on a balance of peer-reviewed publications and mainstream outlets for public outreach like popular magazines or even blogs?

MIAMI (AP) -- If the Miami Heat are going to watch their season and reign atop the NBA end at the hands of the Charlotte Bobcats, then fates of the franchises will have to change in a hurry.
Upset odds look miniscule. Miami has lost only four of its last 23 games against the Bobcats, going 15-0 in the series since LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade teamed up with the Heat.
But it's numbers like those that the Heat are rendering irrelevant heading into Game 1 of the Eastern Conference first-round matchup on Sunday. Miami may deserve the confidence of a two-time defending champion bidding for a fourth straight NBA Finals trip, but the Heat aren't overlooking any team heading into these playoffs.
"Anything before this season doesn't matter," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "They had a different team, a different coach. The only thing that matters is this year. Our last three games against them, we had to dig back from three deficits to come back and win. That has not gone lost in our preparation."
Here are the numbers that do seem to matter to Miami these days: The Bobcats were 20-9 since the All-Star break, have held opponents to under 50 percent shooting in 18 of their last 19 games and had the league's lowest average turnovers-per-game over that same stretch, just 11.6 giveaways per night.
"This is a good ballclub," Wade said. "This is not the Charlotte Bobcats that everyone thinks of when you hear the name."
Al Jefferson and Steve Clifford changed all that. Jefferson's first year in Charlotte was a colossal success, with him averaging 21.8 points and 10.8 rebounds. Clifford inherited a team that was 28-120 over the last two seasons and won 43 games -- and a seven-win franchise two years ago is now a seventh-seed in the East playoffs.
"It's time to take it to another level," Jefferson said. "We reached one goal. Regardless of what happens in the playoffs, we are one of the teams that stood out this year and we are proud of that. So now it's time to stick together more than ever."
To stop James and the Heat, Clifford knows it'll take more than just sticking together.
"There are only so many things you can do," Clifford said. "I know this: The more aggressive you are with him, the more layups and open shoots the other guys shoot. He's a phenomenal player."
Here's five things to know heading into Game 1 on Sunday:
EXPERIENCE: Everyone on Charlotte's roster, combined, has a total of 858 playoff points and 15 starts in the postseason. The Heat numbers in those categories: 14,965 points and 727 starts. Plus, the Heat franchise has 103 all-time playoff wins, while the Bobcats have exactly zero. In theory, none of that should matter Sunday, but most would agree playoff basketball is just different -- so Charlotte will probably have to do some learning on the fly.
ODEN'S ROLE: Miami brought Greg Oden in to aid its frontcourt, especially at playoff time. And the 7-foot Oden had a role in this series before it started. Oden has been working as the designated Jefferson-imitator in Heat practices, trying to emulate some of the things that Charlotte's go-to guy does down low.
DEFENDING LEBRON: James had the 61-point game against the Bobcats that everyone remembers. But Charlotte didn't have any answers for him all season. James' "other" games against Charlotte: 34, 30 and 26 points. His averages for the season against the Bobcats: 37.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists on 63 percent shooting.
DEFENDING AL: Jefferson is now a major problem for Miami. The winner of the past two East player of the month awards averaged 25.3 points and 15.3 rebounds in three games against Miami, shooting 57 percent. His career numbers against Miami entering this season: 13.4 points and 9.4 rebounds per game on 46 percent shooting.
SIMILAR STARTS: People rave about the job Clifford has done, with good reason. His record in this debut season leading a team few people expected much from is 43-39. That's the same record a rookie coach had with another lowly regarded team in 2008-09. His name? Erik Spoelstra.

The Heat are 15-0 against the Bobcats since LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade in South Beach back in the summer of 2010, their best record against a single opponent during that span.
Miami is 4-0 with an average margin of victory of 10.5 points per game against Charlotte this season. LeBron averaged 37.8 points per game in those contests and put up a career-high 61 points in the last meeting between the teams back on March 3rd. [+]Head-to-Head This Season

The Bobcats, currently in their 10th year of existence, have still yet to win a playoff game. This is the team's 2nd playoff appearance. Charlotte was swept 4-0 by the Magic back in the 2010 postseason. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Charlotte Bobcats had the best record of any NBA team in April (7-1).

The Heat went just 11-14 over their last 25 games after posting a 43-14 record prior to that stretch. Many point to Dwyane Wade missing 12 games during that 11-14 span ... but in the 13 games Wade played, the Heat went just 3-10. [+]Heat This Season

The Heat are trying to become the first team to 3-peat since the Lakers accomplished that feat spanning 2000-02. Should Miami make it back to The NBA Finals, it would be the first team to do so 4 straight times since the Celtics spanning 1984-87. | |||||||||||||||||||||

West Coast Grilled Vegetable Pizza
Grilled pizzas topped with avocado, fresh spinach, and goat cheese are a California dream come true. Stretch the dough to whatever shape fits your grill most easily: round, oval, or even free form.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, July 2007
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- All-purpose flour, for shaping dough
- 1 pound store-bought pizza dough, fresh, or thawed if frozen
- 2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced crosswise
- 2 scallions, white and green parts separated, thinly sliced
- 1 log (5 ounces) soft goat cheese, crumbled
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 bag (5 ounces) baby spinach
- 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and diced
- 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
Heat grill to medium. Brush a large rimless baking sheet (or an inverted rimmed sheet) with 1 tablespoon oil. On a lightly floured work surface, roll and stretch dough to two 8-inch ovals or rounds. Transfer to prepared sheet. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon oil.
Transfer dough to grill. Cook, without turning over, until undersides are firm and begin to char, 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs and a large spatula, place crusts on baking sheet, grilled side up.
Scatter crusts with tomatoes, scallion whites, and cheese; season with salt and pepper, and slide back onto grill. Cook, rotating occasionally, until cooked through and cheese begins to melt, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
In a medium bowl, combine spinach, avocado, scallion greens, vinegar, and remaining tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Pile mixture onto pizzas; halve, and serve.

Fantastic, quick weeknight dinner. Only thing I added was roasted red pepper which I did on the grill since it was on anyway.
Sheryll 28 Feb, 2011
I love this pizza, and could have never made it without tragedy, until this recipe. Thank you so much. Store bought dough, because it is great food fast and if you have ever made real pizza dough, it takes a long time.
charlig 15 Oct, 2010
store bought pizza dough??? Really Martha? Really?
catherine495 18 Oct, 2009
This is a great recipe. I do have to make it with mozzarella cheese because my husband doesn't love goat cheese, but it is tasty to me both ways. Easy and yummy.

We harvest pure flake finishing salt straight from Oregon's cold waters using traditional methods. Read more
We harvest pure flake finishing salt straight from Oregon's cold waters using traditional methods.
About this project
Oregon's First Salt Harvesting Facility since Lewis & Clark
People have harvested salt from the oceans nearly as long as we've walked the earth. Salt is one of those completely transcendent ingredients in the culinary world. It is used in nearly everything and is an often-overlooked ingredient that can make all the difference in the world. It's generally inexpensive, yet can completely transform a meal. Great finishing salt is harvested all over the world, and is used by celebrated chefs and home cooks alike. However, almost none of this salt comes from the United States.
We've Had Some Early Success.
I've harvested salt for fun for nearly three years. When I heard about a new vendor fair at New Seasons Markets (a sustainably-focused local grocery chain in Portland, OR) I decided to see if there was interest in my product. New Seasons loved the salt, and ordered a case for each store! It was at that point that I realized I could focus on shifting from hobby to business.
Six months later, after an incredibly positive article in the Oregonian newspaper and a holiday rush like no other, I distinctly remember delivering five cases to each of 12 stores, only to have stores call me back within the hour saying they had sold out, and needed more. We now sell in 49 stores in the Portland area, and we would love to bring our finishing salt to the rest of the Northwest, and beyond.
Salt Harvesting Is A Lost Craft: We're Focused On Rekindling It
In The US.
Our goal is to produce the best finishing salt in North America, and eventually, the world. It's a bold goal, but we're excited to rise to the challenge. So far, we're thankful for the praise our salt has received from Mark Bitterman, author of the James Beard Award-winning Salted: A Manifesto on the World's Most Essential Mineral, and owner of The Meadow (Portland, OR and New York, NY). We think this is just the beginning.
Creating Oregon Coast Jobs That Are Desperately Needed.
Not only are we producing finishing salt right here in the US, but it's also some of the best in North America. It is our goal to make Oregon, the Northwest, and the US proud of the great finishing salts we produce. With this expansion comes an opportunity for an entire new industry to take hold. While our current size only makes a small impact, the potential for large scale economic impact is undeniable.
For your support, we would love to offer a few small tokens of gratitude, and a taste of what's to come.

Job Description: Dance teachers work in private schools with dance departments or in public school systems in states that offer dance teacher positions and dance teacher certification. They teach various forms of dance to students of all ages, choreograph dance pieces for performance, direct rehearsals, and organize performances for the community.
Dance teachers can also become dance studio owners or they can own/manage privately run schools of dance. They are responsible for hiring staff and faculty, maintaining studio space and producing recitals. Studio owners are typically dancers themselves, as well as trained dance instructors.
Training and Educational Qualifications:
Requirements for regular licenses to teach kindergarten through grade 12 vary by state. Most states with dance teacher certification require dance teachers to have a bachelor's degree in dance and to have completed an approved teacher training program with a prescribed number of subject and education credits, as well as supervised practice teaching. A number of states require that teachers obtain a master's degree in education within a specified period after they begin teaching. The National Dance Education Organization maintains a list of states that offer dance teacher certification in public schools. The list also shows where jobs in public school systems can be found. There is no specific education requirement for dance studio owners.
Job Outlook: Through 2016, overall student enrollment in elementary, middle, and secondary schools a key factor in the demand for teachers is expected to rise more slowly than in the past as children of the baby boom generation leave the school system. However, employment should continue to grow as fast as the average for teachers from kindergarten through the secondary grades. Projected enrollments will vary by region.
Salary: Median annual earnings of kindergarten, elementary, middle, and secondary school teachers range from $43,580 to $48,690; the lowest 10 percent earn $28,590 to $33,070; the top 10 percent earn $67,490 to $76,100.
According to the American Federation of Teachers, beginning teachers with a bachelor's degree earned an average of $31,753 in the 2004-05 school year. The estimated average salary of all public elementary and secondary school teachers in the 2004-05 school year was $47,602. Private school teachers generally earn less than public school teachers, but they may be given other benefits such as free or subsidized housing.
Significant Facts:
• In addition to conducting classroom activities, teachers oversee study halls and homerooms, supervise extracurricular activities and accompany students on field trips.
• Public school teachers must have at least a bachelor's degree in dance, complete an approved teacher education program and be licensed.
• Dance teachers may open their own private dance studios; dance studio owners have no educational requirement.
Did you have an internship in this field prior to starting your job?
In public education, no. As a professional dancer, yes, with the Hark-ness Ballet of New York.
Do you know which companies have the best internships in this field that are known to help launch a successful career?
It depends on what you want to do (dancer vs. teacher/choreographer). If you want to dance professionally, nearly all companies have an apprentice program/company
Where are the best cities to live to find jobs like yours?
One would think major cities, but that is not always the case. Frequently, the smaller cities and towns outshine the major metropolitan areas when it comes to dance and arts education.
What is your typical day like?
I get to school at 6:00 a.m. and do all my paperwork for the day; classes start at 8:15 a.m. I teach three 96-minute classes and have a 96-
minute planning period. Class time also includes choreography. Additionally, there are after-school rehearsals and performances.
What are your job responsibilities?
I teach ballet, jazz, tap, choreography, design, computer design, and commercial art.
What is your favorite part of your job?
Creative work and choreography.
What do you dislike about your job?
The unending bureaucratic difficulties that go along with public education. A litigation mad society preys upon paranoid school systems.
Have you had any turning-point or "light bulb" moments in your career that have helped you get to where you are today?
My first principal asked me to write an essay that explained how a full-length ballet touched upon other areas of society, from the historical and anthropological aspects, to the theological and artistic. It was a life-changing moment and opened the door for all the awards that followed (Disney American Teacher Award honoree, Toyota International Teacher, and USA Today Team Teacher, to name a few).
How did you know you wanted to pursue this career?
I didn't. I was in a place where my back was against the wall and, quite literally, God stepped in and said that this was where I would go.
How did you get into this industry?
I've danced since I was six. Unlike most people who don't have a clue what they want to do, I knew at six that I was a dancer, and it is to that end that I've lived my life. A dancer is not just someone who performs but someone who teaches and creates as well. Real dancers are tour guides they are capable of taking anyone anywhere because dance is the universal language!
What do you consider your greatest professional accomplishment?
My original choreographic, across the curriculum interdisciplinary works based on the lives of the Impressionists, including Toulouse Lautrec, Monet, and Degas.
If you weren't doing this job, what similar careers might you consider?
Ski bum! I'd make a great tour guide for a slope in Summit County, Colorado – or even at Disney World.
To what professional associations do you belong?
Alabama Education Association; Alabama Dance Council; Alabama State Council on the Arts; International Dance Council, United Nations, International Network of Performing and Visual Arts Schools; Kappa Delta Pi, an International Honor Society in Education; National Education Association; National Dance Educators Association; Magnet Schools of America; and Phi Delta Kappa: The Professional Association in Education.
What advice do you have for others who would like to pursue this career?
If you are not an artist, then you are not a teacher! You must work creatively otherwise you're nothing more than a mechanic.
Dance teacher assistant, dance supply store clerk, dance teacher, day care teacher, after-school dance program director, founder of dance studio/dance teacher
Did you have an internship in this field prior to starting your job?
At the time that I was going to school, they didn't call it an internship. I did, however, teach dance at a studio as an "intern."
Where are the best cities to live to find jobs like yours?
There are dance studios everywhere!
What is your typical day like?
My day starts with the administrative work that is a part of the business: make necessary phone calls; type up newsletters and attendance sheets; type choreography and class notes; do the business accounting; cut music; work on costumes; work on fundraising. Later in the day, I head to the studio, teach classes and then clean the studio from top to bottom.
What are your job responsibilities?
Everything: I am the owner, the director, a teacher, a choreographer, an accountant, the cleaning crew, office worker, seamstress, and the list goes on.
What is your favorite part of your job?
Teaching and choreographing.
What do you dislike about your job?
The grunt work like office paperwork and cleaning.
Have you had any turning-point or "light bulb" moments in your career that have helped you get to where you are today?
Yes, prior to college, I thought I wanted to be a professional dancer. But during college, I realized that I wanted to be a dance teacher at the local level. I wanted to be the first teacher to see the passion for dance develop in a student.
How did you know you wanted to pursue this career?
I have always known I would do something with dance.
How did you get into this industry?
The story begins with my mother taking me to see the Nutcracker when I was two years old and my saying, "I want to dance, Mommy!" I have been dancing since then. About two years ago, an opportunity presented itself and my father helped me open my dance studio.
What do you consider your greatest professional accomplishment?
I hope it is still yet to come, but I have had quite a few students graduate from high school and pursue dance in college as I did. Some of them have gone on to have professional careers in ballet companies and performing in Las Vegas shows.
If you weren't doing this job, what similar careers might you consider?
If I weren't doing anything with dance at all, I would be working with youth in some capacity most likely as a teacher.
To what professional associations do you belong and what professional publications do you read?
I belong to the Professional Dance Teachers Association (PDTA) and the International Tap Association (ITA). I read Dance Teacher Magazine, Dance Spirit magazine, and Pointe magazine.
What advice do you have for others who would like to pursue this career?
You have to really love it! There is not a lot of money in this profession.

Cartoon Wars – Gunner Review
iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPadCartoon Wars – Gunner is a great sequel to the original game. Combining shoot-em-up action with RPG elements, it's deceptively deep and its combination of well-drawn graphics and animation, intense, solid game play and ability to track scores on-line more than justify its price tag.

The PlayStation 2 sold more than 155 million units in its 13-year lifespan, having finally been discontinued at the beginning of last year. The PS4, in its six months on the market, has sold more than 7 million units. While that trend would need to remain relatively stable to beat the PS2 in sheer numbers within the same span of time, bear in mind that a straight-up comparison of unit sales isn't looking at the whole picture.
Hirai cited the growing popularity of digital distribution and services - things which didn't factor into the PS2's success - as the keys that will allow Sony increased profitability, even if they don't move as many units.

Healthy Cooking Method: Parchment Packet Cooking
by Robin Miller in Uncategorized, April 13, 2013
In France they call it "en papillote". In Italy, it's "al cartoccio". In America, we call it parchment cooking. What does it mean? Very simply, it's a cooking technique that involves wrapping food, typically fish, chicken and/or vegetables in parchment paper. Once wrapped like an envelope, the "packet" is baked in the oven until the entire meal is moist, tender and cooked to perfection.
The technique may sound fancy in other languages, but it's actually quite simple. Even better? It's probably the least messy cooking method because it doesn't involve any pots or pans. Nutritionally speaking, because all ingredients are assembled in a packet, very little (if any) fat is needed, making it a fantastic cooking technique for the Healthy Eats crowd.
Here's how to do it:
1. Fold a 20-inch long piece of parchment paper in half crosswise.
2. Draw a heart shape on one side of the paper, as if you were making a valentine. Cut out the heart and open the paper, making a complete heart.
3. Arrange desired ingredients on one side of the heart, close to the crease in the middle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
4. Pull up the un-topped side of the heart and fold it over so the edges meet the other side. Starting at the top of the heart, fold the two sides together by making several, small and tight folds, sealing the packet completely. Tuck the last fold under the packet to secure the folds.
5. Transfer the packet to a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are crisp-tender, typically 15 for fish and 25 minutes for chicken (about 4 ounces each).

(7) Villanova 59

(15-2, 4-2 Big East)
Coverage: ESPN/WatchESPN
3:30 PM ET, January 17, 2011
Gampel Pavilion, Storrs, Connecticut
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Jay Wright can fast-forward the video and put the scouting report in his junk mail pile.
For a few weeks last summer, Kemba Walker was his guy.Wright had a daily inside look at the UConn guard who is dominating his way toward player of the year honors. Wright's summer break from coaching Villanova included a stint as co-coach of the USA Select team -- college stars picked to scrimmage against the USA National team before their trip to Turkey for the World Championships.No player wowed Wright last summer quite like Walker.No player concerns Wright this week quite like Walker.Walker stands in the way of No. 7 Villanova escaping Storrs, Conn., with its biggest road win of the season. The Wildcats (16-1, 4-0 Big East) have won 11 straight games entering Monday's matchup at No. 8 Connecticut (14-2, 3-2)."I know what he did for us against Kevin Durant, so now we have to go against him," Wright said. "It's scary."Walker's 31 points in Saturday's win against DePaul means he has led the Huskies, who vaulted into prominence with a Maui Invitational championship, in scoring in every game this season. He leads them in scoring (25.6 ppg), assists (3.8) and is even third in rebounds (5.4).He's aggressive, can change speeds and blow by defenders, and has carried the Huskies even as he's been badgered and bullied and absorbed his lumps on the court as teams try all kinds of tactics to slow him down.Wright saw Walker's excellence during practices and scrimmages in Las Vegas and New York.After the initial training session in Las Vegas, the team was scaled back to 10 players for the New York slate. Wright picked two point guards to head east: Butler's Shelvin Mack and Walker."Offensively, they couldn't press us," Wright said. "He had a day there where he went for 26 against those guys. On the offensive end, he's not just a shooter. He'll come off screens, he'll play off the ball and he'll find teammates."Walker's helped UConn develop into one the surprise teams in the Big East a year after Jim Calhoun's health issues and an NCAA investigation stained a season that finished in the NIT.He also wants to keep the Huskies' dominance over the Wildcats going -- UConn has won 16 of the last 24 meetings dating back to 1996. Wright is 4-10 vs. UConn."I can't wait. I'm looking forward to it," Walker said. "I think we're going to come with a lot of effort and intensity."The Wildcats have that double-double going for them in just about every game. Need proof? Ask Maryland, which blew a 12-point lead in the second half on Saturday once Corey Fisher started making shots for the Wildcats. Fisher scored eight of his 17 points during a 19-0 run in a 74-66 win over the Terps.Fisher, and the rest of the senior class, started the rally at halftime with a pep talk."They just called us together and were like, 'Yo, listen. It's time to get going," said guard Maalik Wayns.Fisher and Walker are close friends, growing up minutes away in the same Bronx neighborhood. They attended the same junior high school before attending different high schools and each expect family in the stands for the holiday matinee.Barring foul trouble or injury, Fisher's family will see No. 10 all over the court for almost 40 minutes. The Wildcats are thin off the bench and their starters have logged heavy minutes -- three played at least 36 minutes against the Terps.Forward JayVaughn Pinkston is out for the season after he was charged with assault, and guard Dominic Cheek sprained his left knee against Maryland and will not play Monday. Guard James Bell is working his way back into shape after offseason surgery on stress fractures in both legs."Coach kept asking me, 'Are you tired?' I was like, no," Fisher said. "I wanted to do it for (my teammates) and just for the young guys to see that, that we can play through anything."The Wildcats gutted out the comeback win right as they head into a grueling part of their schedule. Unlike the Huskies, Villanova hasn't exactly racked up frequent-flier miles as it built its gaudy record. There was a trip to New York in November for the NIT Season Tip-Off, and games at Monmouth and South Florida -- not exactly hostile environments.The other "road" games were city series games at Penn and La Salle.Up ahead after UConn is a Jan. 22 game at No. 4 Syracuse and Jan. 26 at Providence. The Wildcats don't return home until Jan. 29."I'm excited about going up there, getting away because when things are going well and you're on campus, the hype, it can get crazy," Wright said.-----AP National Writer Nancy Armour contributed to this story.SPONSORED HEADLINES

Yoko discusses PBS' "John Lennon in New York"
Posted By Joanne Ostrow On August 5, 2010 @ 6:29 pm In TV News | No Comments
The film "John Lennon in New York," features concert outtakes, home videos, recording session footage and more. It will air Nov. 22 under the "American Masters" umbrella on PBS. Based on clips, it's going to be a treat.
Dressed in black–fedora, jacket, pants, boots and round glasses–the diminutive Ono held forth on the "incredible footage I had not seen before."
Shortly after his death 30 years ago, she would faint when she heard John's voice. Now, however, it's like "John coming back to let me know those are the songs we created when we were together."
"You think you know everything about us," but there is "so much footage I didn't know. American Masters research went into films that I didn't know existed. When I saw the rushes…I thought this is something John would have approved."
Asked about parole for Lennon's assassin, Mark David Chapman, she said she believes he should not be released.
"John loved New York. He said he wished he was born here…New York was the city that he loved so much and the city that killed him. It was his love and it was his death."
A set of Lennon remasters are due for release to mark what would have been his 70th birthday in October.

Storage in the Mettur Dam is sufficient for no more than a fortnight, says Cauvery Delta Farmers' Welfare Association
With the storage in the Mettur Dam sufficient for delta irrigation for no more than a fortnight and the Karnataka government appearing determined to reject Tamil Nadu's demand for release of more water, the Cauvery Delta Farmers' Welfare Association seems to have resigned itself to the fate.
The situation for raising samba crop has become very difficult, admits Mannargudi S. Ranganathan, general secretary of the association.
The total storage of the Mettur Dam at 4 p.m. on Thursday was 26.895 tmcft (thousand million cubic feet) against the total capacity of 93.4 tmcft.
If the discharge of about 12,000 cusecs is maintained (which is equivalent to one tmcft), it may not be possible to release water beyond October-end unless there is substantial inflow thanks to the northeast monsoon, according to PWD sources.)
He is extremely unhappy that the Cauvery Monitoring Committee has not bothered to come out with the accurate figures regarding the availability of water in the Karnataka reservoirs.
Even if the Karnataka reservoirs had 50 per cent storage, they should have a minimum of 50-60 tmcft and should share it with Tamil Nadu, he contends.
"Now we are totally dependent on the northeast monsoon expected to set in any time now. We have virtually become a rain-fed area now. Hence, it is extremely dicey to predict how much samba crop could be saved depending only on the monsoon," he adds.
Mr. Ranganathan says he is not prepared to go by the history of the northeast monsoon, which he believes is difficult to judge. "During October-December, there have been years when the delta had received as much as 700-800 mm rains. And during December alone, especially in the third week, it has rained to a level of 400 mm leading to flooding of the fields."
The only silver lining is that the northeast monsoon has been quite consistently supportive of Tamil Nadu unlike the southwest monsoon which has been playing truant on and off.
According to him, immediately after the media cautioned the farming community that the southwest monsoon is deficient, some farmers chose to go in for direct sowing in the first or second week of August. "The condition of these crops is very good and they have not confronted much of weed problem as well."
He estimates that direct sowing has been taken up at least in three lakh acres of which Tiruvarur district alone contributes two lakh acres.
About 1.5 lakh acres should have been covered by thaladi (the crop raised immediately after kuruvai) and this could also be saved because these areas have borewells and pumpsets. All that they require is adequate power.
An equal area could have been covered by the community nurseries and mechanically planted crop. However, I am not certain of the total area of samba which has been covered so far though we normally calculate it to be 16 lakh acres."
Mr. Ranganathan expresses concern over the fate of the crops raised through nurseries as they would require a minimum of three centimetres of water. "This requires surface water and I am not sure whether that could be provided by rains".
By October second week, transplanting for samba should have been over and the thaladi planting should be going on. But all these thumb rules have failed this year, he laments.

Mammalian nephrons form as a result of a complex morphogenesis and patterning of a simple epithelial precursor, the renal vesicle. Renal vesicles are established from a mesenchymal progenitor population in response to inductive signals. Several lines of evidence support the sequential roles of two Wnt family members, Wnt9b and Wnt4, in renal vesicle induction. Using genetic approaches to specifically manipulate the activity of beta-catenin within the mesenchymal progenitor pool in mice, we investigated the potential role of the canonical Wnt pathway in these inductive events. Progenitor-cell-specific removal of beta-catenin activity completely blocked both the formation of renal vesicles and the expected molecular signature of an earlier inductive response. By contrast, activation of stabilized beta-catenin in the same cell population causes ectopic expression of mesenchymal induction markers in vitro and functionally replaces the requirement for Wnt9b and Wnt4 in their inductive roles in vivo. Thus, canonical Wnt signaling is both necessary and sufficient for initiating and maintaining inductive pathways mediated by Wnt9b and Wnt4. However, the failure of induced mesenchyme with high levels of beta-catenin activity to form epithelial structures suggests that modulating canonical signaling may be crucial for the cellular transition to the renal vesicle.

The Big Business - Small Business Emergency Management Mentorship Program is designed to motivate and encourage large businesses to provide mutually beneficial emergency preparedness, response, and recovery expertise to small businesses. The program was created to improve the resiliency of small businesses, and reduce recovery time after a disaster.
In true respect to the proactive "whole community" approach to emergency management, the Big Business - Small Business Emergency Management Mentorship Program results in a "win-win" for everyone!
Did you know?
Statistics from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety indicate that 25% of all businesses do not reopen after a major disaster. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce reveals that this number rises sharply to 43% when a business does not have a formal emergency plan in place.
