Basketball: Deng rises to a giant challenge
Chicago Bulls superstar is relishing putting British basketball on the Olympic map
Monday 06 February 2012
Luol Deng has become well practised in absorbing new experiences, be it as a child refugee in Egypt and then London, as a promising young basketballer in New Jersey, as one of the most revered players in the NBA, with Barack Obama among his admirers, or last year seeing his native land gain its independence and the chance of a brighter future.
This year comes another, one that in sporting terms may well prove his toughest. Come the end of July, Deng will swap his superstar team-mates at the Chicago Bulls and his $71m contract for the blue vest of Great Britain, to experience his first Olympic Games lining up alongside Drew Sullivan, the team's captain, who plays for Leicester Riders, and Robert Archibald, the 6ft 10in Scot who has played in the US, Ukraine and Spain.
He will not be alone in the British team in making an Olympic bow –far from it. This is the first time a British team will compete in the Games since 1948, the last time the Olympics came to this country. Britain's journey to the Games is in itself extraordinary – there was no such thing as a GB basketball team just six years ago – but it cannot compete with Deng's improbable path to sporting stardom.
He was five when his family was forced to flee from the second Sudanese civil war, crossing the border to neighbouring Egypt to escape the fighting that would leave an indelible scar on the North African country. His father Aldo , a former minister for transportation, was eventually granted political asylum in the UK in 1993.
Deng, along with the rest of his family, returned to South Sudan last year to celebrate the country gaining its independence on 9 July. The Dengs were part of a crowd estimated at one million that rapturously marked the occasion. "Unbelievable," is how Deng describes it. It was a moment he had contributed to, having chartered two buses to bring fellow countrymen from Michigan to Chicago to vote in the referendum for the south to separate from the rest of the country in January 2011.
"My whole life my country has been at war," says Deng. "I want people to be able to go home. A lot of lives have been lost, and here is a chance to make a difference."
It was in south London that Deng took his first steps on a basketball court. He began playing for Brixton Topcats before winning a scholarship to the US on the back of his sporting ability.
Aged 14, he was on the move again. The US has been his home since, although his family remains in the UK and he is a regular visitor during the close season. For the last five years he has run basketball camps around the country, seeking to promote sport among young people – an act that should strike a chord among government and sporting bodies who want the Olympics to provide a lasting legacy in terms of numbers playing sport.
This summer Deng will be back in the city of his youth, the focal point of a British team that has improved markedly since the home nations became one in a bid to secure a place in the London Games.
Only two of the side play their sport in this country; the rest are scattered around European leagues and the minor US leagues. At the team's first training session in 2006, Chris Finch, Britain's US coach who does the job alongside a role with the Houston Rockets, had six players to work with. It was not until March last year that Britain was granted a place at the Games as basketball's governing body sought assurances the team would be of a suitable standard and their presence would help boost the sport in the UK.
Deng's presence was vital. "We will be ready and like I have always said we'll surprise people," he says. "We have some respect now – before, no one knew who GB were. I'm in touch with Team GB as much as possible. The UK has the talent, it's getting access to good quality coaching that seems to be the issue. I'm still hopeful that basketball will continue to grow in popularity."
Deng's participation, coupled with back-to-back victories over Portugal and Poland at last summer's Eurobasket tournament – the European championship – in Lithuania, have further served to raise awareness, although it would take a brave man to back Team GB to achieve anything other than respectability in the Basketball Arena, the 12,000-capacity temporary construction next door to the Velodrome.
"In Lithuania, we were so frustrated with our performance as we know we are better than that," said Deng. "The USA are the best, no doubt. They are the team to beat, they've got a squad of some of the best players in the world. The gap has definitely closed and isn't like it used to be with the Dream Team but, of course, they're the team that all the fans want to see and the team that all the other teams want to beat."
With 13 gold medals since the sport was first granted Olympic status in 1936, the mighty US side have dominated the event, although they fell short in Athens in 2004, when they were defeated by Argentina at the semi-final stage.
That year Deng, now a 6ft 9in giant, would sign for Chicago, where he has since dazzled audiences around the NBA, not least Obama, a Bulls fan. Last year Deng lunched with the president.
This season's delayed NBA season finally began on Christmas Day after peace broke out between franchise owners and the players following a dispute lasting the best part of six months. "I'm just glad it all worked out," says Deng. "If it hadn't been resolved and the league wasn't on this year, it would have been tough for a lot of the players."
With the truncated NBA season now spanning 66 games, rather than the regular 82 – coupled with his recent wrist injury – a fit-again Deng should arrive back home far fresher than might otherwise have been the case.
"I honestly can't believe how quickly it seems to have just landed on us," he says. "I remember hearing that London was getting the 2012 Olympics and it feels like it was only a year or two ago; it's crazy. It's going to be great for London in so many ways. For me to play in the biggest sporting event in my home town, where my basketball started, is going to be amazing. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Axxa/Abraxas: Axxa/Abraxas
A ŌĆ£music and art projectŌĆØ from 23-yearold Ben Asbury of Atlanta, Ga., Axxa/Abraxas is the product of the artistŌĆÖs fascination with the evolution of psychedelia from the ŌĆś60s on through to the Elephant 6 era and further enhanced by his outstanding silk-screen art. Asbury wrote many of the tracks on AxxaŌĆÖs eponymous debut while he was in college. However, with the production help of Jarvis Taveniere of Woods, songs like ŌĆ£Going Forth,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Beyond The WindŌĆØ and ŌĆ£Painted BlueŌĆØ are fashioned into scrappy pop gems that come off like Alex Chilton if he had gone right from the Box Tops to working on The
CrampsŌĆÖ Gravest Hits EP. From the sound of Axxa/Abraxas, this is only the tip of the iceberg for this bright new talent in the Captured Tracks family.

Daniel Radcliffe Jokes About Sleeping With Broadway Dancers
"I said to a friend the other day, 'Dude, I'm doing a show with dancers. I've got to be single,'" Radcliffe told the style magazine. "He was like, 'Don't sleep with anyone in your show. That's a mistake.' It's good advice. But I'm not sure I'll stick to it."
The 21-year-old Radcliffe hinted that he's really excited about the single life after being in relationships for the past seven years.
Radcliffe's musical, 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,' is just one of many projects in the actor's packed schedule, which also includes finishing the 'Harry Potter' franchise and completing work on an adaption of novel and play 'The Woman in Black.'

Northeastern's David Walker beats Towson with 35-footer at buzzer (VIDEO)
Jan 23, 2014, 2:15 PM EDT
Northeastern was up 40-21 at the half and allowed Towson all the way back into the game. The Tigers tied it in the final seconds, only to watch as Northeastern's David Walker drilled a 30-footer at the buzzer to win it.
The video is a bit choppy — and courtesy of Northeastern's athletics department — but there is another angle here, at the 3:20 mark.

SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) - The genealogy website Ancestry.com said its websites were recovering on Wednesday after hackers temporarily shut them down this week in a distributed denial of service attack, but it said no consumer data was compromised.
The Provo, Utah-based company said Ancestry.com and its sister site, Findagrave.com, were targeted on Monday in the attack that flooded servers with traffic and caused them to crash.
In a post on Ancestry's Facebook page on Wednesday, the company said some features had been disabled as a precaution and asked users for patience while the service was completely restored.
No consumer data or information was compromised during the attack, Scott Sorensen, the company's chief technology officer, said in a separate statement. The company's staff are working to prevent future hacking incidents, he added.
"We want to apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and also thank you for your amazing support, as this may have interrupted some of your family history research," Sorensen told users. "We appreciate your patience."
Originally founded as a publishing company in 1983, Ancestry.com bills itself as the world's largest online family history resource, with more than 2 million subscribers.
The company says its databases hold more than 14 billion records, that it is adding some 2 million more every day, and that its customers have used its services to draw up more than 60 million family trees.

Great benefits and a great place to work. The open floor plan and no assigned seating in the head quarters in Cincinnati is great allows for a unique flexible working environment.Cons
Some times it is hard to get answers in for a problem in a company of this size. The amount of email you get is excessive but bearable. Everyone is very connected, which is a good thing, but sometimes the number of meetings is too much and sometimes, people will attend your meeting and another meeting via lync messaging. Which makes communications less effective.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Don't be so resistant to change and technology. Things do not have to look the same to feel the same. Especially in regards to the internal intranet and the new applications UI standards.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

Reports: Baylor lands another top 50 recruit in King McClure
Apr 29, 2014, 12:25 PM EDT
Baylor landed their first commitment for the Class of 2015 on Tuesday afternoon as King McClure pledged to Scott Drew and the Bears.
Evan Daniels of Scout.com was the first to report the news.
McClure, the No. 37 recruit in the Class of 2015, according to Rivals, is a 6-foot-3 scoring guard from Dallas. He's a physical scorer that is at his best when he's putting the ball on the floor and getting into the paint.
"One of the better pure scorers in the class of 2015," Rivals' Eric Bossi called him. "King is in the mold of a Ben Gordon type. He is a strong combo guard who bounces off defenders on drives, has a good mid range game and is a streaky shooter from deep with a short memory and loads of confidence."
McLure is a four-star recruit.

Rotterdam-based law firm AKD says that creditors of ailing shipping groups such as STX Pan Ocean of South Korea, and TMT of Taiwan, could seek to take advantage of prevailing bankruptcy laws to enforce vessel arrests and other attachments in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) region.
Haco van der Houven van Oordt, a partner with the shipping and offshore team at AKD in Rotterdam, said, "The recent reports of bankruptcies and voluntary liquidation proceedings involving shipping companies have now reached levels which exceed any in recent memory. STX Pan Ocean, South Korea's largest dry bulk operator, has reportedly obtained bankruptcy protection and is now seeking recognition of protection orders in various international jurisdictions after creditors moved to arrest a significant part of its fleet operating around the world.
"Creditors are looking to protect their assets and limit their losses in the most efficient way possible. And because shipping is such an international industry, those creditors are becoming increasingly keen to understand the legal approach to bankruptcy adopted in different parts of the world. For example, bankruptcy protection does not enjoy worldwide currency. It works in those countries - including the US and the U.K. - which adopt a universal approach to cross-border insolvencies. But there are a few exceptions to this rule.
"It is reported that several of STX Pan Ocean's creditors have already arrested vessels in China, and we expect creditors also to turn to the Netherlands, which adopts a territorial approach to bankruptcy. This means that creditors can still take action against the assets of STX Pan Ocean in the Netherlands despite the existence of bankruptcy proceedings and protection orders."
In addition to its territorial approach to the law of bankruptcy, the Netherlands is widely recognized as a haven for those looking to attach ships and/or to arrange for their swift judicial auction. There are very few legal hurdles to pass in order to obtain leave for attachment. And it is not just ships calling at Rotterdam and Amsterdam which are subject to attachment in the Dutch courts. All ships proceeding to Antwerp and Ghent have to transit the River Scheldt, where they are also subject to Netherlands jurisdiction.
Haco van der Houven van Oordt concluded, "It would be surprising if we did not see creditors looking increasingly to the ARA region in the wake of the continuing fall-out from the bankruptcies of major shipping groups."

Crescent Resources receives $100 million in new equity
Crescent Resources has received a new, $100 million equity investment from the private investment firms that own the company.
The real estate firm announced Thursday that its board of managers approved the investment from Anchorage Capital Master Offshore Ltd., MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners III and certain affiliates of both entities.
Charlotte-based Crescent will use the funds to make targeted investments, primarily in the residential and multifamily sectors.
"We are excited about our principal owners' confidence in our platform and increased financial commitment," Todd Mansfield, Crescent's president and chief executive, says in a statement. "Along with our recurring property cash flows and strong balance sheet, this new equity capital will enhance Crescent's ability to make substantial new investments and acquisitions. We are well-positioned for growth."
Crescent has assets and projects under development with a value of approximately $1 billion.
Anchorage Capital Group and MatlinPatterson Global Advisers are New York firms that invest in distressed companies. The companies became the principal owners of Crescent as part of Crescent's restructuring in bankruptcy court. Crescent emerged from bankruptcy two years ago and named Mansfield CEO earlier this year.
Crescent has 19 master-planned communities and seven multifamily communities with 2,200 units under development and an additional 2,900 multifamily units in predevelopment. Crescent owns more than 75,000 acres of land across its four divisions, including 1,400 acres zoned for a variety of commercial uses.

The next chapter in Nike's battle against bots
- Matthew Kish
- Staff Reporter- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Nike is taking another big swipe at defeating the shoe collectors who use computerized programs to snap up coveted limited-edition sneakers.
The company posted a description on its website of new "access codes" that will give customers the right to buy coveted shoes.
The website doesn't provide information about how Nike will dole out the codes.
A Nike spokeswoman said the access codes aren't new and the company regularly tries to "ensure the best possible experience" for customers. The company declined to provide additional details.
For years, problems have plagued the retail releases of some shoes. Bleacher Report in December reported shoppers at an Ohio mall broke the doors of a store trying to get the latest Air Jordans. The New York Daily News reported on brawls over the same shoes.
The online market has become just as unruly. Software that lets online shoppers jump to the front of virtual lines is now available on the Internet. NikeShoeBot.com offers a "bot" for $130. There's even a Twitter-based bot that can be purchased for only $15.
It's easy to see why collectors — and investors — want to snap up limited edition shoes. The shoes, which typically retail for around $200, can easily be sold on the secondary market for much more.
The Air Jordans that caused brawls in December now sell for around $300 on eBay. The shoes retailed for $170.
Last year Nike released an updated policy designed to prevent "bots" from getting coveted releases.

Duckhorn The Discussion 2010
Bordeaux Red Blends from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
Over three decades ago, before crafting their first vintage, the Duckhorns and their winemaker had a passionate discussion at the kitchen table. Though they debated making a cuvee, they chose to focus on varietal wines. Even so, Duckhorn Vineyards has always remained fascinated by the artful blend of varietals from diverse Napa Valley vineyards. Embodying the depth and complexity of a world class Estate program, The Discussion represents the pinnacle of the Duckhorn Vineyards portfolio and the ongoing dialogue that defines great winemaking.
The Discussion is blended using barrels of the best Estate wine from the 2010 vintage. While there is abundant, rich upfront fruit in the aromas and on the palate, what makes this wine so noteworthy is its layered sophistication. Dark berry and gamey aromas offer a beautiful prelude to a rich, velvety mouthfeel with fine-grained tannins. Elegantly integrated oak adds hints of sweet baking spice, oak and kernal characteristics, while providing length and dimension.
Critical Acclaim
Wilfred Wong of Wine.com - "Taking the winemaker's art to a new level, that is what the Duckhorn folks have done with Discussion. While known for their varietals-Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon, they have created The Discussion to show the supreme artistry of the winemaker's soul. The 2010 The Discussion, made mostly from Cabernet Sauvignon with some Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot is just plain solid. Black fruit, lots of it and some graphite note. We should be enjoying glass with prime rib of beef."
Duckhorn Vineyards
Founded in 1976, Duckhorn Vineyards has been crafting Bordeaux varietals from the Napa Valley for over 30 years. This winemaking tradition has grown to include seven estate vineyards, located throughout the various microclimates of the Napa Valley. Focused on quality and consistency, these estate vineyards are an essential element in making wines of distinction. One of the first wineries to pioneer Merlot as a premium varietal, Duckhorn Vineyards now makes several elegant Merlot and distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings to showcase the characteristics of its vineyard sites. In addition, the winery is known for its acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc. Beginning with the 2006 vintage, Duckhorn Vineyards unveiled The Discussion, a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend that represents the pinnacle of Duckhorn's portfolio. View all Duckhorn Vineyards Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just grated an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Letter to the Editor 5-3-13
Dear Editor,
May is National Mental Health Month. Pawnee Mental Health Services has provided community mental health services to individuals in ten counties in north central Kansas for more than 56 years.
The issue of mental health has recently received increased attention due to widely publicized events, most recently the Dec. 14, 2012 tragedy where Adam Lanza shot and killed his mother in their home, then shot and killed 20 children and six adult staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, before killing himself.
In the months that have followed, The Mental Health First Aid Act (S. 153/H.R. 274) was introduced in Congress and would authorize $20 million to support public education and training on how to respond to individuals experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis.
Mental Health First Aid is a public education program that helps people identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Pawnee Mental Health Services has trained 466 people in Mental Health First Aid since May, 2011. For more information on a class near you, please contact email@example.com.
Another response of Congress includes The Excellence in Mental Health Act (S.2257) which would create Federally Qualified Behavioral Health Centers (FQBHCs.) The Act would establish national standards and oversight for FQBHCs. Proponents say FQBHCs will reduce costs to taxpayers through integrated care strategies that prevent the development of costly health problems and disease complications. This is the same premise upon which the Governor's KanCare Medicaid program is based.
Individuals with diabetes and serious mental illness covered by the KanCare Medicaid program are scheduled to be assigned to "health homes" by January 1, 2014. The health home model will move the Kansas Medicaid program from a fee-for-service based model, where providers are paid based on how many units of service they provide, to an outcomes based model, where providers are paid based on the health outcomes (results) in their member population.
A response of the Governor to the Newtown tragedy is the Governor's Mental Health Initiative which allocates $10 million to the Kansas Community Mental Health System for the creation of five regional recovery support centers which would provide intensive services to some of the state's most difficult to treat individuals. This is not new money. The Family Centered System of Care (FCSC) program ($4.75 million) will not be funded in FY2014 and $5 million will be cut from Mental Health Reform funding.
FCSC funding provides mental health services for over 6,300 children annually in Kansas with serious emotional disturbances (SED) and their families. Mental Health Reform funding provides community mental health services for individuals who might otherwise require treatment in the state psychiatric hospitals. State Mental Health Reform funding has already been cut by 50% or $15 million since FY2008.
We appear to be experiencing elevated levels of mental health distress in our society. It can be debated whether this is an objective reality or the result of increased media coverage. There does, fortunately, seem to be increased awareness of the issue and its impact on the individual, the family and the community, at both the state and national level. There may even be elementary consensus on how to respond.
There are new initiatives. Sometimes these initiatives complement each other, sometimes they don't. Sometimes these initiatives address the issue of stigma, sometimes they don't. Sometimes these initiatives possess the potential for real change, sometimes they don't. No doubt, any effective change effort will be complex, will require vision and courage from its leaders and the cooperation of multiple stakeholders.
Please contact your U.S. Senator and Representative and urge them to support the Mental Health First Aid Act and the Excellence in Mental Health Act. Please contact your Kansas Senator and Representative and urge them to support the $10 million in funding to the Kansas community mental health centers which is contained in the Governor's Mental Health Initiative.
Robbin Cole, Executive Director

Serum progesterone is a test to measure the amount of progesterone in the blood. Progesterone is a hormone produced mainly in the ovaries.
Progesterone plays a key role in pregnancy. It helps make a woman's uterus ready for a fertilized egg to be implanted. It also prepares the uterus for pregnancy and the breasts for milk production.
Progesterone blood test (serum)
A blood sample is needed. Most of the time blood is drawn from a vein located on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
Many medicines can interfere with blood test results.
You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted. You may also feel some throbbing at the site after the blood is drawn.
This test is done to:
Progesterone levels vary depending on when the test is done. Blood progesterone levels start to rise midway through the menstrual cycle. It continues to rise for about 6 to 10 days, and then falls if the egg is not fertilized.
Levels continue to rise in early pregnancy.
This following are normal ranges based upon certain phases of the menstrual cycle and pregnancy:
Note: ng/mL = nanograms per milliliter
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Higher-than-normal levels may be due to:
Lower-than-normal levels may be due to:
