Bremont had a strong showing at Baselworld 2015, adding two all-new models for Jaguar, adding GMT models to their new Boeing line, and expanding the U2 and ALT1-Z collections.
To celebrate the important 50 year anniversary of Seiko's first dive watch Seiko has given us three impressive new offerings--a new Marinemaster Professional 1000m, the first Seiko Hi-Beat dive watch in a very long time, and a Prospex Kinetic land sport model.
Seiko Astron had a tremendous year at Baselworld, releasing the third line in the Astron sub-brand, and in my opinion, their best yet: the Astron Dual-Time.
Nomos had a banner year as they released some of the most popular models, and movements, of Baselworld 2015.
Grand Seiko released new several new mechanical and spring drive models for 2015, all of them inspired by their classic 1967 62GS.
BALL Watch is a company that's very active in case innovation. We recently reviewed their awesome Magneto S and its protective metallic iris. Today's watch, the Engineer Master II Slide Chronograph, focuses on a new approach to operating a chronograph. Chronographs typically have two pushers, one for starting/stopping, the other for resetting. On the Slide Chronograph, as you'd expect, all chronograph functions are operated via a sliding mechanism on the side of the case, which gives the watch a much cleaner look. How well does it work? Read on to find out.
Today we look at the Seiko Prospex SUN023, the kinetic GMT dive watch. This watch combines a number of useful features like a movement that's powered by the motion of your wrist and a GMT complication, but its most prominent attribute is its wild looks.
Bremont's collaboration with aviation giant Boeing has, so far at least, two models--the Model 1, which we reviewed earlier, and the 247, the chronograph model that we'll be looking at today.
Today we look at one of the more innovative and interesting watches we've seen in a long time, the Ball Magneto S. Ball has really set itself apart from the competition by focusing on their case technology in addition to their obsession with tritium tubes over conventional luminous paint.
Today we look at a very cool new addition to Seiko's popular Astron collection, the SSE031. Like some other new Astron chronographs, it features a ceramic bezel and ceramic center links, but what really sets the SSE031 apart is how it looks.
Nomos is a company famed for its understated Germanic designs, particularly those with bold Arabic numerals. Their Tangente, Tangomat, Ahoi and Tetra designs all feature these trademark number markers. When not employing Arabic numerals, Nomos uses no numerals at all, like in their Lambda, Zurich or Orion lines.
Fake watches are nothing novel--the practice is virtually as old as the existence of watches themselves. But what is rapidly changing is the competency of the forgers. In the modern era fake watches became extremely cheap knockoffs, generally lacking anything like the precise appearance of the real thing.
Today we look at a new and dressier incarnation of Bremont's popular ALT1-C chronograph line, the ALT1-C/PW. The ALT1-C has always been on the restrained side for a chronograph, but aside from a gold model, it isn't offered in a polished case--until today.
Today we take our first look at a Girard-Perregaux Traveller, one of GP's four major lines for men (the others being Hawk, 1945 and 1966) and the only line we haven't taken a close look at yet. We're correcting that omission by reviewing the beautiful, if eccentric, Traveller Moon Phase.
Today we have one of the most exciting comparisons we've ever written.
Today we're looking at what is potentially the most exotic piece we've reviewed to date.
Bremont has been making aviation-inspired watches since the very beginning, but 2014 marked the first time that Bremont and legendary aeronautics company Boeing collaborated on piece.
The Armin Strom Skeleton Pure Water is one of the brand's most exciting new watches.
Nomos released a beautiful new limited edition Orion model, in both 38 and 33 millimeter sizes, to honor the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. Like all Orions, it's a very classy and understated piece, but the 1989 is perhaps even more understated than the ordinary models.
It seems like every year there's a surprisingly good deal to be had from a Grand Seiko limited edition spring drive. Last year it was the SBGA095, with its stunning brown dial, but this year that spot is clearly taken by the SBGA111.
Today we look at what is easily one of the most anticipated watches of the year, the Maurice Lacroix Gravity. In fact, this was my most anticipated watch of the year.
Today we get to look at an extraordinary rare watch, the Seiko Galante Fire. In fact, this watch is so rare that it's not only the first Galante spring drive to be sold in North America, it's the only one.
In a short time Nomos Glashutte has become one of the leading German watch brands and one of the most respected manufactures in the world. In that time they've managed to exponentially increase the number of models they make.
The SBGH035 is one of the best, and oddly most underreported, of all the new Grand Seikos in 2014. It is currently the top of the line of three hand Grand Seikos and is one of very few models to receive the SPECIAL accuracy designation.
Grand Seiko is easily one of the most well loved brands among watch collectors and for good reason. It, and its parent company Seiko, have a history that rivals all but the best European watchmakers and no brand has been more influential than it in the last 50 years.
In the contemporary watch world, there are basically three channels of commerce for new luxury watches: authorized dealers, the grey market and the black market. The black market needs no introduction, but many new watch collectors are confused by the differences between the grey market and authorized dealers.
Today we look at the very first Nomos with the new swing system, the Metro. Like a select few other Nomos watches, it features their unique gangreserve (power reserve) complication in addition to a date at 6:00, powered by a traditional hand wound movement.
Today we look at the first addition to the Weltzeit collection since the popular original was introduced several years ago. Instead of the very German white/silver dial of the original, the new model receives a "True Blue" dial and the updated DUW in house movement.
Today is a rare opportunity to compare a very exclusive new limited edition with a legendary full production watch.
The Girard-Perregaux 1945 has always been one of my favorite Girard-Perregauxs--particularly these moon phase versions. Their art deco design has stood the test of time, but the watch is something more than pretty--it's easy to wear and read.
It's an unusual day where I review a bracelet with the watch as an afterthought, but this is one of those days. Damasko, the popular German watchmaker known for its super tough tool watches and, more recently, for their high-tech in house movements, has never offered a bracelet, despite the demands of their fans.
Today we get to look at a true first for Grand Seiko. It's not an homage to a 1960s model, it's not a new version of an existing model, it's not an addition to a pre-existing group of watches. Instead, these watches, the SBGX115 and SBGX117, are Grand Seiko's very first divers to feature a quartz movement.
Today we look at 6 of Seiko's all-new Astron Chronographs. Their predecessor was the first watch to sync both time and time zone by GPS signal. The new version, however, is not only Seiko's first chronograph to sync time and time zone via GPS, but it's also much thinner, smaller and lighter, making for not only a more complex watch, but also a surprisingly more versatile one as well.
The most discussed, debated and mysterious movement in the world today is the Seiko Spring Drive. Most associated with the high-end brand Grand Seiko, spring drive movements are now available in many high end Seikos, from Ananta to Galante to Credor.
2014 marks the first time Seiko Prospex has been officially sold in North America and there are a lot of models to examine. Today we take a look at just four, three automatics and one kinetic.
2014 marked a momentous year for Grand Seiko. On the one hand, our favorite Japanese brand was busy celebrating the 50th anniversary of their famous model, the 1964 Self Dater. But on the other, GS was looking to the future, specifically with this model, the SBGJ005. It's the first Grand Seiko of its kind.
Continued from Part 1, which you can find here.
Today we look at two of the oldest and most prestigious watch brands in the world, Patek Philippe and Girard-Perregaux. We'll be comparing one of each brand's most complex mass produced models, the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5146G in white gold and the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Equation of Time in pink gold.
Girard-Perregaux is a very old and elite Swiss watchmaker. Today GP watches can and do compete with the biggest names in the business.
Today we look at one of the most hotly anticipated German watches of 2014, the Nomos Ahoi Atlantik. The sequel to last year's popular Ahoi, Nomos' first beach-friendly watch, the Atlantik receives a new dial color but retains its cool tropical styling.
Well it's finally here: the blue dial SBGA105. This was one of the major hits of Basel World 2014 and arguably the #1 most popular Grand Seiko (that, or the new GMT) for 2014. It's easy to see why.
JeanRichard is a company known for a offering a dizzying variety of models ensuring that every customer ends up with an almost unique piece--JeanRichard is basically as close as you can get to a custom made watch short of pieces costing 3 or 4 times as much.
Today I get to look at one of my absolute favorite Grand Seikos and one that gets far too little attention. The SBGC series, of which this is a member, is Grand Seiko's response to some people's criticism that they're too traditional and that they don't take chances. The SBGC001 is proof that they do.
This is an exciting time for Seiko fans as we get more and more models that have been Japan only for far too long. While this SBDB009 is a new model, it really does mark the beginning of a new line for collectors outside of Japan, as it's a harbinger of the regular Prospex collection as well.
Today we look at our third new Grand Seiko of 2014, and the second homage to the famous 1964 Self-Dater.
This weekend at JCK I had the pleasure of sitting down with Michael Pearson and Nick English of Bremont watch fame to discuss upcoming watches, in house movements, and the future of English watchmaking. They were, as always, a joy to work with and their passion for watches and their brand was remarkable.
Today we take our very first look at a brand new special edition from aviation watch legend Bremont that commemorates firsts, past and present. Namely, the watch is inspired by, and includes a part of, the very first working plane ever made by the Wright Brothers in 1903, the Wright Flyer.
Today we take a quick glance at what happens when we take black dialed Grand Seikos and switch Seiko's bracelet for an OEM crocodile strap.
Today I have the luck, or perhaps misfortune depending on how you look at it, of doing a comparative review between two of my absolute favorite brands, brands I have followed closely for many years: Nomos and Grand Seiko. And I can't resort to any sort of "apples and oranges" cliche to get out of deciding a winner.
Today we take a look at a new JeanRichard Terrascope. As you may already know, JeanRichard prides itself on how customizable their watches are--if you like a particular JR design, but wish it had some slight difference, JR probably already makes the watch your envisioning.
Today we compare two chronographs known for their extreme toughness and aviation design heritage, the Bremont Michael Wong Heli-Chrono and the Damasko DC66 Si. This is England versus Germany with two watches that are strikingly similar, yet surprisingly unique.
Today I have the pleasure of examining two new limited edition Grand Seikos for 2014. These are definitely the dressiest watches coming out of Grand Seiko this year and they are absolutely stunning. They also tie into Seiko's long and illustrious history perhaps better than any model in their current lineup.
Today we take a quick glance at the STGF075, the very first ladies watch from Grand Seiko ever sold in America.
I suppose there's no reason to make you wait until the end of the review for this: these are the best looking 9F Grand Seikos ever made.
At first glance, outside of being German, Nomos and Damasko have nothing in common. Nomos is a Glashutte brand known for its slim Bauhaus dress watches and Damasko is a Regensburg maker known for their ultra-tough tool watches--and never the two shall meet. Or will they?
What an exciting day at Timeless--we've been waiting on these DK10s and DK11s for what seems like forever and they're finally here. These two watches were the launch vehicle for Damasko's first in house movement, the A35, and represent the flagship of the young watch company.
Today we take a look at beautiful new Ball chronographs for 2014, this one aimed for use by the medical profession to assist in taking a patient's pulse.
Alexander Shorokhoff is a Russian designed, German made watch brand known for their eccentric, avant garde designs. No watch showcases their design aesthetic better than this Babylonian, a wild, but attractive, hand wound piece.
Today we get to look at yet another brand that has flown under the radar for too long, Alexander Shorokhoff. Specifically, we'll be examining their beautiful hand wound chronograph, the New Planet.
Today we look at two of Damasko's most affordable options, the DA44 and DA45. Although much lower priced than their in house DK line, they possess basically all the same high-tech features in terms of their case and construction.
Today we take a look at JeanRichard's magnum opus, the 1681.
Today I get to introduce you to Nomos' ultimate dress watch, the Orion 38. It takes Nomos' already ultra-clean dial and takes it up a notch while, like any proper dress watch, it loses the date (although a date complication is available).
While we have a break before the new 2014 models hit the stores I wanted to show off an existing JeanRichard that doesn't get the attention it deserves.
We just got back from visiting JeanRichard at JCK in Vegas and saw lots of new watches for 2014.
We had a great time visiting the geniuses at Maurice Lacroix while at JCK this weekend. We were finally able to go hands on with some of the most important watches of 2014, including the amazing new Gravity.
Timeless Luxury Watches just finished our visit to Grand Seiko at JCK and we got to play with lots of new models for 2014. Here are our photos and impressions.
Timeless Luxury Watches is proud to be offering Nomos watches for the very first time. As some of you know, I've been a fan of the brand for many years and it's a dream come true to finally be able to see the entire line up in real life.
Today I get to look at a very rare and very special watch. It's not often that a watch crosses my desk that was authorized by the National Museum of the Royal Navy (actually, it's never happened before). That watch is, of course, the new Bremont Victory limited edition.
It's not often that I get to review a watch that genuinely contributes something to horology. Generally I am happy to focus on the aesthetics and execution of a watch. But the Astron is a watch that sees farther than its peers.
Today I have the pleasure of reviewing one of the finest watches in the world. I'm supposed to hold my conclusions until the end, but really, once you see it, there's not much point in waiting.
Today it is my privilege to review two beautiful new Grand Seiko models, the SBGR081 and SBGR083.
Today we get the chance to examine a very cool retro-inspired piece, the Avigator A-7. What in the world is avigation you might ask?
Today I have the pleasure of discussing one of the most sought after watches from Germany's rising star, Nomos. The Weltzeit is a model I have been looking forward to seeing ever since its release, but they sell so fast I never get a chance to really examine it the way I'd like.
Today I have the pleasure of reviewing, for my first time, two superb Grand Seiko quartz watches. What you're looking at here are two of the most accurate watches ever made.

Below is a performance chart and underlying data back to 2008 when I started publicly tracking my income portfolio. The chart graphs my Income Stock portfolio and the S&P 500 (VFINX). See important information below the chart.
The performance in 2008 was calculated using the old MSN's Deluxe Portfolio at MoneyCentral. MSN discontinued this product on November 4, 2009. From 2009 forward, performance was calculated using xirr() in a spreadsheet model. Performance takes into account purchases, prices paid, dividends received and sales.
The value column is a hypothetical $100 investment in each at the market's close on 12/31/2007, or whenever the portfolio was started. The investment grows at the performance rate each year. The calculated return was based on all dividends reinvested in the portfolio (not necessarily in the security that generated them).
As with all investments, past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Torque 3D Engine Is Wanting To Come To Linux
Published on 26 December 2012 10:17 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
5 Comments
Many Phoronix readers have written in over the past few days about the new effort to bring the Torque 3D Game Engine to Linux. The desire for Torque 3D coming to Linux is because the engine developers believe Linux is turning into a commercially viable platform for gaming.
Torque 3D is the game engine out of Garage Games as the successor to the original Torgue Game Engine Advanced (TGEA) but with modern functionality like deferred lighting, NVIDIA PhysX, and modern shaders. The original Torque Game Engine had been originally developed in 2001 for the Tribes 2 game but it's been developed much more extensively since its inception.
It was back in September that Garage Games decided to
open-source the Torque 3D engine
. The open-sourcing of the engine was done under the MIT License. Garage Games earns its revenue from licensing Torque 3D for commercial titles as well as custom engineering, training, and offering other resources to game developers. While the engine code has been open-sourced for months, there's yet to be any native Linux client.
With Steam on Linux, the success of the Humble Indie Bundles, and various Linux shops (e.g. the Ubuntu Store) coming about, Garage Games finally sees Linux as a potentially profitable opportunity and feel they can compete in the emerging Linux gaming space.
In order to finance the native Linux work, Garage Games has turned to starting an
IndieGoGo campaign
where they hope to raise about $30,000 USD in order to finance the port. Their planned Linux port would be their full tool-chain for offering native Linux game development. This Torque 3D plan would allow game developers to develop their software entirely on Linux rather than some game engines where there is Linux support but all of their content creation and game development utilities are bound to Windows / Mac OS X with only export capabilities to Linux.
Garage Games announced this Linux initiative via
their blog
. They also created a video (embedded below) about their Linux plans.
For those not familiar with the Torque 3D engine, embedded below is one of their demos to showcase the current 1.2 version of the game engine.

Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak sticks up for boss Jim Buss
Mar 12, 2012, 11:54 PM EDT
When somebody asks you how your boss is doing, what exactly are you going to say?
True or not there is only one answer and it's the one Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak gave it when he sat down with the Los Angeles Times for a lengthy interview.
Jim Buss has become the guy Lakers fans like to blame for shaking up a contending team (which may have some validity). Kupchak's point: Jim Buss is not new in the Lakers front office. He has been helping the team make decisions for years.
"Jim gets way too much criticism and not enough credit with the success this team has had," Kupchak said. . "He is following in the footsteps of the most successful owner maybe of all time, which is hard to do. But since he's gotten more and more involved, which has been about seven or eight years, we've had some pretty good moments."
Buss was responsible for the Lakers' ill-fated hiring of Coach Rudy Tomjanovich in 2004, but he also helped nudge the team into drafting Andrew Bynum in 2005. It's too early to tell the results of Buss' latest decision, hiring Mike Brown to succeed Phil Jackson, even though Kupchak and Jerry Buss claimed they also agreed with it.
There have been whispers (from good sources) that Kupchak is unhappy with his current working situation and may bolt for another team at the start of the year.
Maybe and maybe not, but Kupchak has always been about loyalty to the Lakers and the Buss family. He is the ultimate company man who would not step out of line and badmouth the team or organization in public. Not his style — he is old school that way. Which is a good thing.
But knowing that, what did you expect him to say about his boss?
As for Jim Buss, he will ultimately be judged against his father's legacy, which may be unfair but is the reality.
- cosanostra71 - Mar 13, 2012 at 12:58 AM
Jim Buss gets a lot of "spit" as the newspapers say when quoting Kobe. Is all of it deserved? Probably not. But his need to put "his stamp" on the team is a bit troubling. It's the same idea that Mark Cuban had, and it took that guy practically 15 years to win anything. Jerry Buss stepped back, let the basketball people take charge, and has won consistently because of it.

Let's examine Jimmie's decision making legacy thus far. Runs Phil Jackson and Brian Shaw out of town, hires clueless Mike Brown, throws a pride tantrum and gives Odom away for nothing to childishly show him who is boss, demands Bynum over Howard because he said yes when Kupchak said to draft him.
He is more like a petulant Nero fiddling w/o a clue. Proof positive that silver spooned nepotism is always failure. Jeanne would have been a better choice. At least she is smart enough to listen to Phil.

Of course Kupcake has to say nice things about that moron Jim Buss or he won't have a job. Both of these buffoons have ruined the Lakers and have given us Laker fans no hope of winning another championship anytime soon. Jeanie Buss has more basketball smarts than her dimwitted brother ever will. It was really stupid to erase Phil Jackson's winning championships legacy and bring in that pathetic loser of a coach Mike Brown who has no clue about how to run an offense.
The Laker's front office needs an extreme makeover, fire Jim Buss, Mitch Kupcake and Mike Brown and bring in some competent talent who will return the Lakers to championship glory before Kobe retires or moves to another team!
- stayhigh_247 - Mar 13, 2012 at 2:00 PM
i agree, but I doubt Kobe would ever wear another jersey. relax Laker fans we've had lean years before, there is absolutely no way the Lakers become the Wizards. yes Jim Buss reminds me of Al Davis but it's too soon to push the panic button just yet, we still have Kobe, Pau and Drew….not many teams have that kind of talent and good point guard changes everything (see Knicks)
- rod4real - Mar 13, 2012 at 3:04 PM
Jim Buss, and Mitch are clueless, since Jerry West has stopped giving advice-they've set out to do what the Bulls management did when their GM,single handed ended their streak before it was over. Lakers only need a point guard-Make the deal and get Derron Williams, without gutting the team. I think that Odom should have been packaged to make that happen- Jenny Buss should be in charge-she's more personable and basketball knowledgeable-

The auditor-general has issued a highly critical report on the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) cuts, saying they will fail to meet savings targets and have led to a drop in morale and capability.
The Government told the Defence Force in 2010 to reduce costs so money could be redistributed within the military. The civilianisation project was one of several the defence force initiated in response.
But Auditor-General Lyn Provost said today it had achieved only "limited success".
"It will not achieve the NZDF's target of converting 1400 military positions and saving $20.5 milion a year by 2014/15.
"Instead, 600 military positions will be converted and we estimate savings of $14.2m a year by 2014/15. In addition a drop in morale and increase in staff attrition has led to reduced NZDF capability."
Her report was critical on numerous fronts - including the fact it told the Government it would convert 1400 military positions into civilian jobs without knowing how many military positions it would need from 2015.
After an investigation NZDF discovered that while some ranks and trades had surplus military staff, it was going to need more military staff overall.
"NZDF should have found out how many and what kind of military staff it would need before telling the Government that it would convert 1400 military positions into civilian positions," Provost said.
Despite the above, NZDF was standing by its commitment to the Government that it would achieve $350-$400m in total savings. But in the meantime it had lost far more military staff than intended.
"The loss of so many military staff (which can be attributed in part to the civilianisation project), has made it more difficult for NZDF to do its job," Provost said.
"Converting 1400 military positions into civilian positions would always be difficult. Discharging military staff has to be carried out with great care to avoid damaging the bonds of camaraderie, integrity and commitment that are part of NZDF culture.
"Instead, NZDF chose a course that led to a drop in morale and an increase in attrition resulting in reduced capability. NZDF now needs to recover from the damage caused by the civilianisation project."
Provost was critical of the speed at which NZDF went about the savings and said it did not fully consider the project's potential impact on staff, or address the significant risks of the process.
However, NZDF appeared to have learnt from its mistakes.
"My staff saw much evidence in reviews and in briefings to Cabinet and the Minister of Defence that NZDF recognises that it made mistakes... NZDF has decided that further conversion of military positions to civilian positions will, in general, take place gradually, as staff leave particular positions. NZDF has a focus on rebuilding morale and restoring mutual trust with military staff.''
New Zealand Defence Force Lieutenant General Rhys Jones said the Auditor-General's report repeated messaged they already knew about.
"The observations and conclusions made by the Auditor General mirror in large part what our own people had been telling us. When combined with some of the conditions of service changes being considered at the same time, many within the Defence Force felt that we had broken a social contract with them."
While the plan had been the civilianisation 1400 positions, only 303 military staff were discharged - 87 into civilian jobs and 218 were made redundant.
The impact on morale was the reason the programme was changed after the first phase, Jones said.
"To date the Defence Force's reforms have delivered nearly $160 million, which has been a massive undertaking. Civilianisation through attrition has continued, and we believe the financial targets we set ourselves when we started, will be met."
The civilianisation programme had a "detrimental affect" on the perception of the organisations culture, he said.
Efforts were now being made to rebuild morale, including with a pay increase in 2012.
"However, the reality of militaries throughout the world, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, is that down-sizing is a fact of life. Our Defence Force hadn't had to deal with that for a while, so it came as a shock."

Eggs are used to bind the liquid and solid ingredients in a cake. They also add color, flavor and moisture to baked goods. While substitutes such as applesauce are sometimes used in baking, there is no perfect substitute for eggs.Know More
Perfect cakes are fluffy, light and moist with a fine crumb. Eggs are used to achieve this texture. When eggs are not used, cakes often suffer from coarseness and dryness. Large eggs are the standard for baking; when a recipe does not specify the size of an egg, large (not jumbo) eggs should be used.
The right time to add eggs to a cake mix is right after the butter and sugar have been creamed together. Eggs, when added one by one, create an emulsion that is necessary for the integration of the dry ingredients.
Eggs are also an essential ingredient for glazing cakes. They provide the finishing touch: a golden exterior.
The white of the egg, when whipped and aerated, provides the loft in angel food cakes. Egg whites whipped with sugar create a meringue, which makes a wonderful topping for a lemon cake. In baking, the general rule is: the more egg whites, the lighter the cake, and the more yolks, the denser and richer it is.
Eggs are one of the most important ingredients in cake.Learn more in Desserts

Non-Conference - Obviously we started off with a very tough test vs. Louisville in Puerto Rico on national TV. We learned that game that Nate Mason wasn't scared of the bright lights. Unfortunately, Harrell and Rozier were too much for us to handle. Aside from the game, I thought the experience was very valuable for our whole program. We constantly talk about sacrifice and commitment to our guys and there is no greater sacrifice then the men and women in the armed forces.
We went on to split at Madison Square Garden a couple of games later. I was very disappointed with the way we finished the St. John's game. With the game in hand we had too many inexplicable turnovers and fouls that were too hard to overcome. I liked the way we rebounded the next day to beat a very good Georgia team. Our guys then went on to beat Wake Forest handily on the road. Andre Hollins and Carlos Morris were very good that game. Our December was certainly successful overall but I would have liked to have been tested a little bit more to prepare us for Big Ten season. That is my fault and we are looking to add a quality opponent next season during December. The question our staff is asking is if we want to start at home or on the road. We are looking at all options.
Conference - The first five games certainly took a lot out of everyone. To start 0-and-5 was difficult but also to have it done in the fashion it was tested everyone. My biggest regret was not having our guys mentally tough enough to handle that. Throughout the Big Ten slate I was proud of how positive our guys remained regardless of the fact that we were swimming upstream for most of conference play. They did a good job of blocking out the noise. Certainly winning at Michigan State and Iowa were bright spots. We obviously have to do a better job of protecting our home court in the future. We lost a bunch of close ones that could have gone either way. Were we unlucky? I'll never use that excuse.
Big Ten Tournament - I loved our competitive spirit against Rutgers. Obviously Joey King provided a huge lift for us. We battled vs. Ohio State but unfortunately Mo getting in foul trouble was too tough for us to overcome. Russell was spectacular for them again.
Seniors - I thank them for all they gave to our basketball program on and off the court. They will all graduate and do great things. It's never easy to have a new coach in the middle of their college careers. They all embraced me and my staff from day one. Elliott, Mo, DeAndre, and Andre have all expressed their desire to keep playing professionally at some capacity. They will spend the next few months finishing up classes as well as preparing for whatever their future holds. Kendal will be entering the real world and will be successful at whatever he does because of his character and work ethic.
The Future - We are excited about next season and beyond. We will likely have at least eight freshman and sophomores. We will be one of the youngest teams in the Big Ten but that excites me! Joey King will need to provide great leadership for everyone in the program. He has everyone's respect and has worked hard to earn that. If Carlos Morris and Charles Buggs dedicate their offseason to putting on weight they will make a great impact next season. Carlos has to improve his defense and shot selection. Buggs just needs to continue to grow in all facets as a player. Huge offseason for both of them.
Nate Mason has the ability to be one of the better guards in this league when it's all said and done. He has to work hard to not fall into the trap of the sophomore slump. He will be the number-one guy on everyone's scouting report. I'm confident he can handle it.
Bakary Konate has the potential to be special. He has the size and the athleticism. The biggest thing is getting him game experience as much as possible. Gaston continues to improve. The little playing time he did get second semester after coming in behind the 8-ball certainly helped a little bit.
Schedule - We are currently in the process of planning a foreign trip in August. We will be able to get ten days of practice as well some games versus good competition. The timing is perfect for such a young team. Incoming freshmen will be allowed to play on this trip. As I stated earlier we are looking to add another game against a high major opponent in December. We are still not sure if it will start at our place or on the road. We believe our Big Ten/ACC Challenge game will be home but we don't know that for sure yet. We have a bunch of good options on the board. We hope to complete that soon.
Recruiting - We have three scholarships still available and we are currently involved with several prospects for next season. Having three open doesn't mean we have to use them all, obviously. We believe we will have a top-25 recruiting class when it's all said and done. Dorsey, Dupree, Jarvis, and Jonathan all excite me. They will need to be ready to contribute right away! We hit the road again in April to watch prospects on their AAU teams for two weekends in what is called the evaluation period. Closing down the borders in Minnesota is vital! Thanks again to everyone again for their support!
Go Gophers,

The University of Minnesota women's basketball team boarded its charter flight and headed out to South Bend, Ind., for the 2015 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament late Tuesday night, sharing its flight with members of the U of M marching band, spirit squad and support staff.
But, before the Gophers took flight, they held their first practice at Williams Arena since learning Monday that they were selected to participate in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in six years.
Preparing for a DePaul team that ranks second in the NCAA in three-point field goals per game, the coaching staff enlisted the help of former Gopher Sari Noga, who ranks fifth all-time at Minnesota in three-pointers made, to join the team at practice as a scout player. Noga enthusiastically made the drive from Parkers Prairie to help out any way that she could.
"I was beyond ecstatic (when I heard the Gophers made the NCAA Tournament)," Noga said. "It's what these ladies have worked for all year and is what we worked for when I was here. It's exciting for them to have their dreams come true.
"Coach Mo asked me to come and shoot some three-pointers and I'm going to try to do that...we'll see how it goes," she said jokingly.
Minnesota followed that up with their first practice in South Bend on Wednesday afternoon, as Bethel College kindly shared its facilities with the Maroon and Gold. The excitement in the gym was undeniable as the Gophers diligently prepared for their First Round contest at Purcell Pavilion.
"We are super excited to be here. It is a great opportunity," Mikayla Bailey said. "Being here and practicing just makes (the team) want to get to the game even quicker. I can speak for all of us when I say we are super excited and can't wait until we get out on the court."
The Maroon and Gold will have one more practice on Thursday morning before taking the court against the Blue Demons Friday night.

2002 Hobey Baker Award winner Jordan Leopold
MINNEAPOLIS (GopherSports.com) - Welcome home, Jordan Leopold! The 2002 Hobey Baker Award winner and two-time First Team All-American for Gopher Hockey has been acquired at the NHL trade deadline by the Minnesota Wild.
A native of Golden Valley, Minn., Leopold has played in 677 NHL games over a 12-year NHL career, tallying 213 points (67 goals, 146 assists) for seven different organizations (Calgary, Colorado, Florida, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, St. Louis and Columbus). Leopold also represented the U.S. at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games.
In 164 career games at the University of Minnesota, Leopold scored 45 goals (the most ever by a Gophers defensemen) and had 99 assists (fourth-most among Gophers defensemen) for a career total of 144 points (third most among Gophers defensemen and 32nd all-time at Minnesota). The blue-liner's college career culminated with a memorable weekend in St. Paul as Leopold was named the fourth Hobey Baker Award winner in school history and then proceeded to lead the Maroon & Gold to a national championship the following day at Xcel Energy Center.
The Minnesota team captain twice earned First Team All-America accolades as well as WCHA Defensive Player of the Year honors (2001, 2002) and earned All-WCHA distinctions in each of his four seasons with the Maroon & Gold (First Team: 2000-01, 2001-02; Second Team: 1999-2000; Third Team/All-Rookie Team: 1998-99).
One of 16 Gopher Hockey alums to play in the NHL this season, Leopold is now the sixth former Gopher in the Minnesota Wild organization - joining Thomas Vanek, Erik Haula, Jordan Schroeder, Stu Bickel and Keith Ballard. Ballard and Leopold were teammates on Minnesota's national championship squad in 2002.

The list of 'new paradigm' technologies that now surrounds us appears to be at an all time high. From cloud computing and Big Data analytics to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), today we have to deal with what the industry likes to call 'paradigm shifts' at every level of IT. This is disruption; of course, we understand that – change is almost always disruptive.

Far from the Madding Gerund and Other Dispatches from Language Log
Geoffrey K. Pullum
|Dewey Subject Codes:
I don't like to read blogs off the net, it seems that you are just getting into the meat of things and you've reached the end of the entry, or, often the entry simply isn't worth taking the time to read it. On the other hand, taking a collection of the best entries from a blog and converting them into a book makes for very enjoyable reading.
Language Log consists of comments on the English language. Here is a collection of the best entries posted by two principle contributors, Mark Liberman and Geoff Pullum. Surprisingly they are not too dogmatic in their approach. English is a vibrant, working language being expanded by words that describe new things and by the addition of foreign words as more and more people speak English from around the world. Indeed it's becoming the lingua franca of the world (in spite of what the French think).
The entries range from the somewhat confusing to the very funny. Perhaps the best are where a consumate master of literature deliberately uses a grammatical error to make a point.
I don't see, however, any defense of the southern word ya'll. We need something for the second person plural, maybe I'll go make an entry.

You may want a copy of this book in the form of a planar cellulose information
retrieval system, i.e. a printed book. They make good gifts, and are more familiar
to most of us than electronic copies. But finding a printed copy of a book is
sometimes difficult. This section is intended to give you some help by making it
easy to use the more common ways of searching.
1 The first column consists of links to the home pages of the biggest suppliers of books by mail: Amazon and Barnes & Noble. These two suppliers have mostly new books, and their new book inventory probably has an overlap of something like 90%, but this does not mean that they both have exactly the same price. Both of them also list used books from outside suppliers, and the used book inventories are usually quite different. ABE Books is a loose grouping of some 17,000 independent bookstores that list their inventory in a common database - most of these are used books that vary from just issued best sellers to rare and antique books.
From all three home pages you can do searches, look at comments, check prices of both new and used copies, look at various formats such as hardback, paperback, eBook formats and much more.
2 The second column has links to Barnes & Noble and Amazon pages describing their new eBook Readers. These have become very popular lately as they allow the purchase of new books and textbooks at prices lower than the printed copies, and in a format that many people find attractive.
3 Clicking on the links in the third column sends you to the supplier along with the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) of the book described on this page if we have been able to find that number. Note that an ISBN refers to a specific edition of a book. Thus a single book might have many ISBNs: Hardback edition, softback, large print, foreign language and so on. Usually the book listing on B & N or Amazon will have links to the other editions that are available.
4 Is our ISBN wrong, or perhaps missing all together. Help us out. Search on B&N and Amazon. If you find one, please let us know. Enter the thirteen (Barnes & Noble) or ten (Amazon) digit number (no dashes) in the boxes above and click on the Submit ISBN button. The numbers shown in the boxes are the numbers we have on file, or zero if we haven't found one.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Blues getting sniper Steen back from concussion on weekend
ST. LOUIS -- High-scoring St. Louis Blues forward Alexander Steen is set to return this weekend from a concussion.
The Blues activated Steen from injured reserve Friday and said he would be in the lineup today against Anaheim, which is first overall in the NHL.
Steen was second in the NHL with 24 goals when the Blues placed him on IR late last month, retroactive to Dec. 21 when he was injured against Edmonton. He's second on the team with 38 points, two points behind T.J. Oshie, in 35 games with six game-winning goals.
Oshie, who has scored the Blues' last three goals, has played in 46 games.
Steen was sidelined soon after signing a three-year, $17.4 million contract extension.
He missed 39 games with a concussion in 2011-12.
Forward Dmitrij Jaskin was assigned to Chicago of the AHL. The 20-year-old Jaskin scored his first career goal Dec. 28 against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Oilers, Panthers swap
EDMONTON -- The Edmonton Oilers have acquired centre Steve Pinizzotto and winger Jack Combs from the Florida Panthers in exchange for centre Ryan Martindale and winger Derek Nesbitt.
Pinizzotto, 29, has recorded seven points (six goals, one assist) and 67 penalty minutes in 21 games this season with the AHL's San Antonio Rampage.
Combs, 25, has 21 points (12 goals, nine assists) and 20 penalty minutes in 37 games over two seasons with Rampage.
Martindale, 22, has played in 22 games for the AHL's Oklahoma City Barons this season, posting 10 points (three goals, seven assists).
Nesbitt, 31, has 10 goals and nine assists for the Barons.
Habs bolster lineup
MONTREAL -- The Montreal Canadiens recalled forward Joonas Nattinen and defenceman Nathan Beaulieu from AHL Hamilton on Friday.
Beaulieu has four goals and 10 assists in 32 AHL games and had one assist in five games for Montreal this season.
The 23-year-old Nattinen has five goals and six assists in 37 games for the Bulldogs this season. He was picked in the third round of the 2009 draft by Montreal. He has yet to play an NHL game.
Clarkson goes on IR
THE Toronto Maple Leafs put forwards David Clarkson and Frazer McLaren on injured reserve Friday.
Clarkson will be sidelined reportedly to have a bursa sac in his elbow removed.
In his first season with the Maple Leafs after signing a seven-year, $36.75-million contract, Clarkson has three goals, eight points and 51 penalty minutes in 36 games.
McLaren has played in 22 games this season and is scoreless with 67 penalty minutes.

Rummage sale to benefit family of accident victims
August 4, 2010
The Bonner Springs Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops are reaching out to a troop leader's family who recently suffered a tragedy.
A Rummage/Bake Sale has been planned from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 6-7, at the United Methodist Church, 425 W. Morse.
Proceeds from the event will go to Stephanie and Chad Spencer to help pay for the funeral costs of their three daughters, — Katelynn, 8, Alissa, 5, and Madelynn, 4 — who were killed in a July 28 car accident in Jefferson County. Chad Spencer is the brother of Bonner Springs Cub Scout Pack #3149 leader Tara White.
Donations from the public are welcome and can be dropped off from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 5 at the church, or by calling Melissa Lewis, (913) 999-5705, to make other arrangements.
