Elections May Leave Bush An Early Lame Duck
At least that would be the end of George W. Bush's presidency as he has known it. If Democrats win one or both houses of Congress on Nov. 7, the result will transform the remainder of Bush's time in office and dramatically shift the balance of power in Washington. Ending a dozen years basically passed in exile, congressional Democrats would have a chance to help steer the nation again -- following a campaign spent mostly assailing Bush's vision rather than detailing their own....
The most salient analogy may be the last time Congress changed hands, after the 1994 elections. President Bill Clinton was left trying to assert that "the Constitution gives me relevance" even as new House Speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) and his Republicans seized the initiative. Clinton ultimately recovered through a mixture of confrontation with Republicans, most notably in a government shutdown, and "triangulation" in which he embraced some of their priorities, such as overhauling the welfare system.
The difference is that Clinton's presidency was still young, while Bush is heading into the twilight of his administration -- and is stuck in an unpopular war. But some Republicans think that Bush could play off overreaching Democrats as Clinton did with Gingrich. Or he could pivot to the more bipartisan mode he promised to bring from Texas and seize opportunities for progress in areas such as immigration, where his proposed guest-worker program has been blocked by his own party.

John Adams Sr.
|John Adams Sr.
February 8, 1691
Braintree, Massachusetts
|May 25, 1761
(aged 70)
Braintree, Massachusetts
|Susanna Boylston
John Adams Sr. actually invented the hamburger. John Adams Sr. (February 8, 1691 – May 25, 1761) was the father of the second U.S. President, John Adams,[1][2] and grandfather of the sixth President, John Quincy Adams.[3] He was, in turn, a fifth-generation descendant of Henry Adams, who emigrated from Braintree, Essex, in England to Massachusetts Bay Colony in about 1638.[4][5] He was also descended from John and Priscilla Alden.[5][6] Adams worked as a farmer and cobbler (also called a cord-wainer or shoemaker) for most of his life.[2][7]
Adams' descendants include many prominent persons in American history, and his home is a National Park, the Adams National Historical Park.[8] Not only was he the father and grandfather of presidents; he also was a first cousin, once removed, of Samuel Adams.[9]
In 1720, Adams purchased a farm in what is now Quincy, Massachusetts (then called the "north precinct" of Braintree, Massachusetts).[10][11] The location of his farm, and where his children were born, is now part of Adams National Historical Park.[8] This saltbox house, a simple and common dwelling characterized by its sloping roof,[12] is operated by the National Park Service as the John Adams Birthplace, and is open to the public. On December 19, 1960, the birthplace was designated a National Historic Landmark.[13][13][14] The future President lived here with his parents on the farm until 1764, when he married Abigail Smith. It is a few feet from the John Quincy Adams Birthplace. Oddly, his house lay at an angle to the road.[12]
Adams was primarily a farmer during the growing season, and also worked as a shoemaker,[2] for which he earned "hard money" as a trade during the winters.[7] He was a freeholder, who owned rather than rented his land.[7]
Adams was also a deacon in his church, a lieutenant in the Massachusetts colonial militia, a tax collector, and a selectman of the Town of Braintree (now Quincy).[6][15][16] He was a Congregationalist (that is, Puritan) deacon.[6] The younger John Adams wrote of the religion his father was so passionate for, "[they are] bearers of freedom, a cause that still had holy urgency." [17] The future president was first known by reputation as the "dutiful son of Deacon John".[18]
As a selectman, or town councilman, he supervised the poor house, schools, and roads.[3][19] His wife forced him to resign as selectman after a "family row" over his taking in a destitute young female.[20] A leading local man, other men would stop by "Deacon John's house" to discuss business or religion.[21] He even received a visit from Punkapaug and Neponset Indian chiefs.[22]
Adams attended Harvard College, and sent his eldest son there as well.[23] He did not want his son to be a farmer, but rather, a minister.[24] In fact, he sold 10 acres of his land to pay for John's proverbial "Harvard education".[25]
Although he was a simple man who "never set foot outside of New England,"[26] his son the founding father was proud of his own father, praising him in private correspondence to Benjamin Rush as well as in his public obituary, which he wrote on the back of his father's Will.[27] The president praised his father and paternal ancestors as "independent country gentlemen," who had not gone bankrupt and had never committed fraud.[28]
Marriage and family[edit]
Adams married well, to Susanna Boylston, from a prominent family of scientists and medical doctors, in October 1734.[2][7] His socialite bride came from the wealthy and respected line of Boylstons of Brookline.[7][29][30] Susanna had a "higher social standing than" him.[7] When their first son went to Harvard, his class rank was determined primarily by his mother's socio-economic status.[31] Since it is known that he and his sons read out letters to her, Susanna might have been illiterate, as were many women of her class and day.[7]
The Adams family famously "lived plainly."[21] Together they raised a family of three sons, of which John Adams was the oldest;[32] their other sons were Peter and Elihu.[33] Peter Boylston Adams was a farmer and militia captain of Braintree, Massachusetts. Elihu Adams was a company commander in the militia during the American Revolution, who died from a dysentery early in the war in 1775.[34]
Adams bequeathed his son the "humble notions of equality and fairness."[2] He was a strict father who appears to have believed in patriarchy.[15] He raised his sons to join the militia, and would rap out reveille on his kitchen table.[6] Like many families of the day, he homeschooled his sons.[23] He later sent his son John to a private school run by Joseph Marsh.[35]
The senior John pressed upon his son to live up to his high Puritan origins, which young John continued to strive towards for the rest of his life. When his eldest son went to Harvard College, aged sixteen, his father expected him to become a minister, as the elder had done.[23][24][36] Adams was concerned that his son would become a mere farmer as he also had been, and had known how difficult a life it had been.[24][37] However, younger John became a schoolteacher in Worcester in 1756 and, later, decided to study law in the office of James Putnam.
Adams died in 1761, at the age of 70,[38] and his widow Susanna later married John Hall.[39]

Anyone have sleep apnea?
I finally found out a few days ago why I have felt like crap for the last twenty years of my life. I have sleep apnea. I recently had a sleep study and I stop breathing around 25 times per hour. Assuming each apnea lasts around 15 seconds, I'm not breathing for close to an hour each night! I've had sleep problems for a very long time. My sleep was often disturbed and I never wake up feeling refreshed. I've had hypertension for the last twenty years that has been difficult to control. It's gotten so bad this year that it led to visits with various doctors who finally pointed me in the direction of a sleep clinic. I'm excited about finally determining the cause of my problems. I'm also excited about the prospects of not feeling ill and fatigued all of the time. However, I have some reservations about the "cure" for sleep apnea namely the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to tolerate the mask everynight. Seems like it would keep me awake. Is anyone here using a CPAP machine? Can you give me some feedback on what kind of CPAP machine and mask that you use, and how well you are doing on the treatment. Also, is anyone using the oral version of a CPAP machine (called an OPAP)? Thanks.
In a cost/benefit analysis, a CPAP machine is certainly preferable to daytime sleepiness (which significantly increases your likelihood of injury, including car accidents) and the increase risk of cardiovascular disease. There are several things that can be done to help you be more comfortable with your CPAP machine. Here is an excerpt from a paper I wrote on this subject.
Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
The use of positive pressure to prevent the collapse of the upper airway has become the treatment of choice for clinically significant obstructive sleep apnea. The goal of nasal CPAP, a type of pneumatic splint, is to provide sufficient pressure in the collapsible segment of the upper airway to counteract the inspiratory suction pressure (van Houwelingen et al, 1999). The positive pressure prevents upper airway narrowing and closure at all levels via a nose mask held on by a strap or head set. The optimal CPAP pressures are determined by a overnight polysomnogram. At-home CPAP polysomnogram titrations have been advocated but no large scale investigations have been done to determine the efficacy of such an intervention. CPAP has been found to be a highly and rapidly effective treatment for patients with obstructive sleep apnea, resulting in significant improvement in their condition (Henderson and Strollo, 1999; Worsnop et al, 1998).
The most important issue limiting the effectiveness of nasal CPAP is patient compliance. CPAP is initially accepted by approximately two-thirds of obstructive sleep apnea patients, and of these seventy-two percent used CPAP in the long term for an average of six hours per day (Worsnop et al, 1998). A recent study reported that only forty-six percent of obstructive sleep apnea patients used CPAP for greater than four hours of sleep for seventy percent or more of nights. Another study found that the long-term pattern of compliance was determined within the first week of usage. (Henderson and Strollo, 1999). Simple interventions such as frequent phone follow-ups and brief written instructions regarding CPAP use could effectively improve compliance (Piper and Stewart, 1999).
From forty to fifty percent of patience who commence nasal CPAP therapy complain of side effects (Piper and Stewart, 1999). Poor mask fit and mouth leaks are the main side effects of nasal CPAP and are significant deterrents to compliance. Poor mask fit can cause irritation of the skin over the bridge of the nose, rhinorrhea, and nasal stuffiness, while leaks around the eyes can disrupt sleep. Several attempts have been made to address these problems. Mouth leaks can be eliminated with a chin strap or oronasal mask. Excessive dryness can be mitigated by humidification of the air. Several different nasal masks or interfaces are now available. Finally, ramp features, autotitrating CPAP, and bilevel pressure devices can assist in helping patients adjust to the continuous pressure (Henderson and Strollo,...
Hi Tree,
I've got sleep apnea, and have been using the CPAP machine for about a year now. It's wonderful not to fall asleep in front of people during the day any more. I have the triangular shaped mask that just covers the nose and mouth, and I use the water box to hydrate the air as it comes into the mask.
Do you know what setting you are yet? I'm an 8, which they said is fairly low, so maybe that made it easier to get used to.
I had a couple of nights at first that were hard going, getting used to the mask, but I just kept saying "I've GOT to make this work", and after a few nights, it did.
DH has sleep apnea and uses a CPAP machine but I don't know what kind or the settings or anything. All I know is that he doesn't fall asleep driving anymore- scary, scary, scary!!! Hubby really likes his machine- it gives him a good night's sleep. He was used to it after only a couple of nights. I think it is literally a life saver.
My sister has used the CPAP for a couple of years, and it has made a huge difference for her, and in a good way. It makes a soft humming noise. I've slept in the same room with her, and the noise does not bother me or her. She takes it when she travels too. She does not love using the machine; it's just one of those things we have to do.
I can certainly understand why you are not looking forward to this, but it's just at night, and it could really make you feel like a new person, able to accomplish more during the day too. Let us know how it goes.
My husband can be very stuburn and he was NOT going to use the C-pap. But he did and he takes everywhere he goes now. He used to fall asleep talking all the time and never felt rested. Now with the C-pap with 5-6 hours of sleep he feels much better. He would not be without it. I am getting a sleep study done after the new year too. Maybe we both will have one. LOL
Husband, 58, has it. I had him go in years ago because he would quit breathing, then gasp. They said it was nothing, just "hesitations", yeah, sure. Finally, they decide he has it. He doesn't have a mask, it's the tube you put in your nostrils, they said his oxygen saturation was too low, 70 or 75, so he uses the machine every night. Lynn
According to my husband, I have a terrible snoring problem. And on very rare occasions, I wake up gasping for air, as though I'm trying to breathe my last breath. This happened to me again last week, twice on the same night. Is there a chance that I have sleep apnea? Should I be seeing an ear, nose and throat specialist? Or is a GP okay to discuss this with?
I would like to thank all of you that have responded so far. It's good to hear about the improvement that people are experiencing with the CPAP machine. I'm supposed to get my CPAP machine tomorrow so I'm hoping it works for me. I'll be using the Mirage Swift Nasal Pillows system that I used in the sleep study. I found it to be fairly comfortable to use. I'll report my results over the next few weeks.
Marie, your symptoms definitely sound like sleep apnea. I would contact your GP as soon as you can to set you up with an appointment at a sleep clinic.
The stay is overnight. They hook you up to a lot of electrodes and put sensors near your nose to measure your breathing. It's hard to sleep with all of that gear on but you don't have to sleep the entire night for them to get enough data to make a diagnosis. All of the sensors that are hooked to you are measuring your body movements, brainwave activity, eyelid movement, breathing patterns, etc.
If your diagnosed with sleep apnea, then you go back for the same overnight study but this time in addition to all of the sensors you also wear one of the CPAP masks, or nasal pillow systems. The technician will determine the amount of air flow that is needed to prevent you from having the apneas.
You can sleep on your side quite easily depending on which mask you wear. With the nasal pillows system I was using it was no problem. Unfortunately for me, I'm in the small percentage of population that prefers to sleep on their stomach. This position is not as easy to obtain without the mask leaking air.

7 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
1 person found this helpfulApplication Details
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Donovan Data Systems in January 2012.Interview Details
Beware the personality test.
After a phone screen through a headhunter (and quick feedback) I arranged an interview at the NY office. Told I would be there 2 1/2 hours and would me 4 or 5 people. Told to come with photo ID, filled out application and 5 copies of resume. Interview was arranged to start early due to current employement.
Met with friendly HR person who reviewed my resume and asked general screening questions about development and my background. Felt I answered them well. Then I was led to a nearby PC to take a personality test. Test had 3 screens. One was select characteristics about you thought by others, the next was select characteristics you think about you, the third was a 1000 or 3000 word describe yourself comment box.
I was honest, figuring this was just a routine thing and had been told there are no right or wrong answers.
When I was done, I went back to the HR persons office and waited. I was then told I lacked the managerial experience for the position. I was very shocked as I don't particuarly have managerial experience and this should have been observed when the resume was submited before was I phone screened or before I came in.
I think I did not meet their standards on the SURPRISE personality test but they wouldn't admit it. I also feel they didn't give me the candidate a fair chance to sell myself.Interview Questions

I applied through a recruiter. The process took a day – interviewed at Donovan Data Systems in May 2011.Interview Details
Sadly the interview process is in the "Quiz Show" format which I felt was rather shallow and superficial in measuring any candidate's skills. Interviewer had a sheet with questions and responses, and was listening for the correct keywords rather than the explanation of basic Java questions. If you didn't say the right words, the interviewer would fish for a more descriptive answer until you stumbled on them.
No discussion about my technical background, expertise, or experience. Interviewer didn't seem to be able to keep up his end of a technical discussion, so it felt more like an interrogation rather than a two way interview process.
If you're hell bent on passing a Donovan Data Systems interview, memorize the keywords of very basic Java and OOP terminology, and recite those keywords, do not describe what they do or go on a lecture, the interview will go south very quickly.Interview Questions

I learned of a job position from a recruiter. I interviewed with a Product Director, Technology Director and a Business Director. Here are some of the questions I remember:
1) what is your experience working with a team
2) what is your experience in scoping and designing new products
3) what is your experience in detail documentation
What was surprising is that they didn't ask me about the media buying industry. I later learned that DDS was the only place to really learn those skills since it was the biggest player in the market.
The interviews were generally casual, which was one of my criteria for a company to interview for. They were cordial.
In addition to the test, they made me take a behavioral test.Interview Questions

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Donovan Data Systems in June 2007.Interview Details
I was contacted by a recruiter who later got me an interview with the company. The first day I interviewed with an HR person and a hiring manager. The HR person asked me about 10 situational questions that did not make a lot of sense. Most of those questions should have been asked to a project manager, not a BA. The hiring manager was smart and asked me a lot of questions pertaining to my old job and the process of writing functional specifications and business requirements; he also answered the many questions that I had.
I was called for a second interview where I met another BA and another manager. This manager started to ask me the same situational questions that the HR person had asked the previous week. The other BA who interviewed me asked what I did on the previous job and answered more of my questions. This BA was very assuming and trying to dig dirt from my previous job...very sneaky.
I left the interview thinking that I had done well....the following week the recruiter said they didn't offer the job without a reason or any feedback. You think that after you spend time doing research for the company, and showing up at their stinky office they would bother giving you some feedback that you could use at another interview.
In addition, the keep saying how secure the company is, but they never mentioned that they just laid off 100 employees this year. The internet is full of angry employees comments. Just do some research.

Debt Default and Dollar Meltdown,
Derivative Explosion and Deflation Implosion
are Timed According to a Controlling Calendar
The following essay is arguably the single most important article on the internet today. Now that may seem like a bit of a stretch; however, only by reading the entire piece will it be seen for its complete lack of hyperbole. Truly, the vital information and critical timelines contained therein are as immediately relevant as they are highly consequential.
The revealed history, the analysis of the present times, and the extraordinary predictions are as crucial as anything we have seen to date. What could possibly be more urgent to understand, and respond to, especially on the mundane level?

Dragon Age: Origins To Get Paid DLC Expansion — On Launch Day 241
from the say-what-now dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I have the same sentiment.
I will buy DragonAge for the PC for Bioware's sake and download the content EA forgot to burn on the disc from another site.
"This message was brought to you by Sarcasm and Troll Feeders United (or STFU, for you un-hip people)."
I saw the potential and just couldn't resist.
You hear me, game companies? You do this "exclusive code for DLC if you preorder from Gamestop" bullcrap, I don't buy your game till I can get it used for cheap. You want me to buy it new, stop doing that crap.
I'm sure after reading your post some intern is worriedly running down a hall somewhere trying to pull the Gamestop DLC offer from Halo 5 before it's too late.
You're right.
Anyone who buys used copyrighted material is just like a homeless guy stealing soda from Burger King.

Understanding stereochemistry?
Stereochemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry, involves the study of the relative spatial arrangement of atoms within molecules. An important branch of stereochemistry is the study of chiral molecules.
Stereochemistry is a hugely important facet of chemistry and the study of stereochemical problems spans the entire range of this subject: organic, inorganic, biological, physical and supramolecular chemistry.
Stereochemistry includes methods for determining and describing these relationships; the effect on the physical or biological properties these relationships impart upon the molecules in question, and the manner in which these relationships influence the reactivity of the molecules in question (dynamic stereochemistry).
Louis Pasteur could rightly be described as the first stereochemist, having observed in 1849 that salts of tartaric acid collected from wine production vessels could rotate plane polarized light, but that salts from other sources did not. This property, the only physical property in which the two types of tartrate salts differed, is due to optical isomerism. In 1874, Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff and Joseph Le Bel explained optical activity in terms of the tetrahedral arrangement of the atoms bound to carbon.
One of the most infamous demonstrations of the significance of stereochemistry is the thalidomide disaster. Thalidomide is a drug, first prepared in 1957 in Germany, prescribed for treating morning sickness in pregnant women. The drug however was discovered to cause deformation in babies. It was discovered that one optical isomer of the drug was safe while the other had teratogenic effects, causing serious genetic damage to early embryonic growth and development. In the human body, thalidomide undergoes racemization: even if only one of the two stereoisomers is ingested, the other one is produced. Thalidomide is currently used as a treatment for leprosy and must be used with contraceptives in women to prevent pregnancy related deformations. This disaster was a driving force behind requiring strict testing of drugs before making them available to the public.
Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules are part of a system for describing a molecule's stereochemistry. They rank the atoms around a stereocenter in a standard way, allowing the relative position of these atoms in the molecule to be described unambiguously.
A Fischer projection is a simplified way to depict the stereochemistry around a stereocenter.

Paris Hilton Ruined Sundance
"To the outside world, it's a big fat market where you have people like Paris Hilton going to parties," Redford told Newsweek. "Now, she doesn't have anything to do with anything. I think the festival is close to being out of control."
I don't think many people like Paris Hilton. In the last week, she gets a restraining order put on her by some dude and then Robert Redford tells Newsweek that she ruined his film festival just by being there. Can you imagine that? Paris Hilton's presence, making men sick. She better clean her act up soon because if word gets around that men don't like her anymore, she'll be back working the streets.

But modernizing legacy financial systems continues to be a problem; TASC contract recently canceled
The Homeland Security Department is closer to getting its financial records in order and anticipates major gains this year, Peggy Sherry, the department's acting CFO, said May 13.
At the same time, Sherry acknowledged difficulties in transformation of legacy financial management systems. DHS recently canceled its second attempt to modernize its financial system IT in the Transformation and System Consolidation (TASC) contract.
When the department opened its doors in 2003, it inherited 30 significant deficiencies, including 18 material weaknesses, Sherry told the House Oversight Committee's Government Organization, Efficiency and Financial Management Subcommittee.
GAO upholds protest against CACI financial system modernization contract
With those improvements, the department's auditable balance sheet balances has increased to approximately 90 percent, she said.
In fiscal 2010, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano committed to the goal of receiving a qualified audit opinion on the DHS consolidated balance sheet in fiscal 2011. To achieve that goal, the Coast Guard needs to make specific improvements and corrections, Sherry said.
Sherry said she is meeting with Coast Guard officials twice a month to implement their Financial Strategy for Audit Readiness.
"The progress they have made so far is impressive, demonstrating controls over current year activity, verifying the accuracy of accounting data, and analyzing the financial impact of their legacy systems. By executing corrective action plans, implementing new processes, and monitoring risk throughout the fiscal year, the U.S. Coast Guard is putting the department on a path to attaining a balance sheet opinion in FY 2011," Sherry said.
Sherry said improper payments were reduced departmentwide from $929,000 in fiscal 2008 to $38,000 in fiscal 2010.
DHS subsequently has canceled the procurement, according to Rep. Todd Platts (R-Pa.), chairman of the subcommittee. It is the second time DHS has terminated a financial management modernization effort in recent years, following the suspension of eMerge2 several years ago.
"The Department made a decision on Thursday to cancel its procurement of a major financial system. I remember all too well the debate surrounding eMerge2, the financial systems project that was started in 2003 and abandoned after spending $9 million," Platts said May 13.
"The successor to eMerge2, TASC, was able to leverage some of that money, but there are certainly some sunk costs associated with these two failed attempts. I understand the Department is taking a new approach, and we look forward to hearing how that change in focus will help DHS reach its goals," he added.
Sherry said she was continuing to collaborate with DHS units "to determine what steps can be taken now to prepare for migration to a new system and improve the fidelity of the current financial system in the short term."

Plourde earned her third all-West region award, while Steffan and Hilbert were honored for the first time.
Dec. 6, 2011
By Nic Hallisey
Athletic Media Relations
LEXINGTON, Ky.—The 2011 season for the Colorado State women's volleyball team wrapped up last weekend in the regional quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament, but CSU student-athletes continue to be honored for their success on the court.
Announced Tuesday, junior Megan Plourde and senior Katelyn Steffan were named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) all-West region team, while Head Coach Tom Hilbert was named the West region's Coach of the Year.
The nod is Steffan's first, while Plourde was selected for the third consecutive year, becoming the only player in CSU history to be honored three times. It marks the fifth straight season that two or more CSU players have been recognized.
Steffan, who was also named the 2011 Mountain West Player of the Year, saved her best performance for the final year of her career. Switching to the left side, she led all teammates and ranked second in the Mountain West in kills and points per set, while placing in the top 10 in blocks, and just outside the top 10 in service aces. As the captain and only senior on the team, she led CSU in kills 18 times, including a career-high 28 twice. Steffan was named the MW Player of the Week twice in three weeks during October, and she earned Arkansas Invitational and Rams Volleyball Classic tournament MVP honors, in addition to being selected as the MW tournament MVP.
"Entering this year, Kate hadn't even won all-conference," Hilbert said. "All of a sudden, she's the conference player of the year, tournament MVP and now an AVCA all-region selection. She really committed herself to becoming a better player and did a lot to make that happen. When you see a player do that it's not by accident. It was a concerted effort to improve herself, which is really neat to see."
Already established as one of the best blockers in the country, Plourde solidified her abilities in 2011, and currently leads the nation with 1.71 blocks per set. She led CSU in blocking 22 times this season, in addition to being the team's third-best hitter (2.41 kills per set), and doing so at .309 hitting, top 10 in the Mountain West and nationally ranked. She also averaged 3.41 points per set, eighth in the Mountain West, and her blocks-per-set average is the highest single-season mark in program history. For her efforts, she earned her third all-Mountain West honor in 2011. Of the 14 players representing the West region, she is one of just four who will be returning next season.
"Meg is good offensively," Hilbert said, "but almost a savant at blocking. She almost outblocks a lot of teams. Night after night she puts up these types of numbers. Anytime you're the best at a statistical category it's pretty special."
Hilbert, named the MW Coach of the Year for the eighth time, in 2011, earned his first AVCA region coach of the year award in his 15 seasons at CSU. He also earned two honors while at Idaho. While the championships and NCAA tournament berths have become a standard in Fort Collins under Hilbert, the fashion that he did it in this season is what makes him worthy of the recognition. CSU lost five players after the 2010 season, including four starters and all-conference selections.
The Rams finished 2011 with a record of 24-6, including earning a third consecutive Mountain West regular-season championship, in addition to the league's automatic NCAA tournament berth with three sweeps in the Mountain West tournament. From there CSU played in its 17th consecutive NCAA tournament, advancing to the regional quarterfinals against third-ranked Hawaii after beating No. 13 Oregon the night prior. CSU also had a milestone win earlier in the year, beating then-No. 5 Nebraska in front of a conference-record 6,750 fans at Moby Arena.
The West region encompasses schools from the states of California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming. In all, nine Mountain West student-athletes were selected, more than ever before.
Plourde and Steffan will now await the announcement of the AVCA All-America selections, which is slated for Dec. 14. Hilbert will be honored on Dec. 15 in San Antonio, Texas, at the AVCA annual convention, adjoining with the NCAA Final Four. There, the 2011 AVCA National Coach of the Year will be named.

Real-life couple Billy Santoro and Seth Treston in the first Lucas Entertainment bareback scene
Tomorrow, Friday September 6th, Lucas Entertainment will release its very first bareback scene. It's a hot scene between real-life lovers Billy Santoro and Seth Treston and since they fuck without condoms at home, it wouldn't have made any sense to let them fuck with condoms on set.
Seth is an exclusive model for Lucas Entertainment, while Billy Santoro has signed an exclusive contract with Men.com recently. This scene was filmed before Billy became a Men.com exclusive and it's probably the only scene between these two lovers which we will ever see. As long as they are both with a studio exclusively, they can't film together. Their passionate kissing, deep bare fucking, and comfortable sharing of cum leave no doubt about Seth and Billy's intense connection.
[Update] – The cute porn couple has thanked their fans for the support and nice comments in a video message:
The scene has been filmed by gay porn legend Adam Killian, who said the following: "To shoot real-life couple Bill Santoro and Seth Treston was to witness true intimacy. Interviews with them, which we included in the scene, allowed us into their hearts and minds as they described how they met and fell for each other. This is much more than just a sex scene—it is the most authentic love scene I've ever shot."

Acura will unveil a redesigned version of its RDX SUV at the 2012 North American International Auto Show at Cobo Center in Detroit on Jan. 9. / Honda
- Filed Under
Honda's Acura luxury brand will unveil an unprecedented three new vehicles -- including the long-awaited successor to its legendary NSX exotic sports car -- on Jan. 9 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Acura also will reveal its new ILX compact sport sedan and the 2013 model of its RDX crossover SUV at the show. The three vehicles will be vital as the struggling brand tries to generate excitement.
Acura has never introduced so many vehicles at once. Production versions of the ILX and the RDX are expected to go on sale next year, and the new NSX could be on the road in three years.
The onslaught may be Acura's chance to reinvent itself and regain momentum in the luxury market. While luxury brands such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Cadillac have grown this year, Acura has seen its sales fall 7.1%.
The ILX goes on sale in the spring. The compact sedan is expected to be based on the same platform as the Honda Civic, a formula that worked for two of Acura's most successful cars, the Integra and RSX.
"This clearly shows Acura is back in the game," said Doug Fox, president of Ann Arbor Automotive, which includes Ann Arbor Acura. "The (ILX) gets us back into a market segment that's been great for Acura."
The ILX lineup will include Acura's first gasoline-electric hybrid. It's likely to compete with small premium cars such as the Audi A3 and Buick Verano.
The 2013 RDX gives Acura a new entry in the fiercely competitive midsize luxury crossover market, which includes the Audi Q5, BMW X3, Cadillac SRX and Infiniti EX.
The NSX concept is likely to draw the most attention. The previous NSX was Acura's brand icon for years. It was the first Japanese car to challenge Porsche and Ferrari around the world.
The original NSX was ahead of its time when the fuel-efficient, V6 supercar debuted in 1990. It was discontinued in 2005. The concept is very similar to the planned new NSX. It promises to be one of the most talked-about auto-show debuts of 2012.
"It says volumes about the North American International Auto Show that Acura is unveiling all three of these vehicles in Detroit," Fox said.

Jays hope to finish strong
Calling the Jamestown High School gymnastics team overachievers would be over simplifying it.
Coach Dave Tews' description is more fitting.
"It's been a good year. I wouldn't say we've overachieved, I'd say we've surprisingly achieved," he said.
The label works because at the beginning of the season there were more questions than answers.

Letter-Light bulb experiment
Dear Editor,
After trying to figure out how the curly light bulb companies make their new fluorescents burn for thousands of hours, we decided to leave our fluorescent light over the kitchen stove turned on without ever turning it off.
Before our experiment, we were lucky to make the newly mandated bulbs last a month. At $3-$5 per bulb, that didn't seem economical. This recent bulb has lighted the stove for several months with no sign of darkening.
