Saving Time
Who doesn't like to save time? Thanks to our awesome teachers, our study videos help you understand difficult concepts quickly so you have more free time to do whatever you want.

Texting your friends is way easier than calling them because it revolves around your schedule, not theirs. Studying with Brightstorm is the same thing. You can always find the help you need whenever and wherever you want.
Knowing where we're going
Maps don't just look cool, they also prevent you from getting lost. Let us help you create a map of your high school journey so that you always have a clear sense of direction.
3 Things We Hate:
Textbooks Without Solution
Seeing solutions helps you learn what you're doing wrong when you're stuck on a problem. Textbooks without solutions make it hard for students to get better at solving difficult problems.
Being Called an "Education" Company
We're not "educating" students. Think of us as your best friend who has the answers to all your questions and is always available to help.
Myth of Creativity
Creativity comes from mastering the basics through repetition, not some sudden source of inspiration. Grow your creativity with every video you watch.

How do I convert a .docx fill-in-the-blanks form to a .doc?
by N.T.Gray - 11/4/12 6:55 PM
I created, for posting on a web site, a fill-in-the-blanks form in MS Word 2010 that works just fine for people who have Word 2007 or 2010 (.docx). Unfortunately, Word 2003 doesn't read the file properly. When I "save as" to 2003 (.doc), the form doesn't work. How can I convert the file so that people with Word 2003 can fill it in?

- Congress has scheduled a hearing on federal hiring reform plans today. It will be the first hearing on hiring reforms since President Obama ordered the overhaul last week. Cutting back the time it takes to hire feds is a high priority, but union officials also want to make sure that hiring preferences are still kept in consideration. The Washington Post reports while most people agree with the goal of hiring reform, not everyone agrees on how to achieve it. Look for arguments in today's hearing that the reforms will harm the veterans hiring preference. And federal employee unions don't like replacing the so-called "rule of three" with "category hiring."
- Democratic leaders in the Senate consider adding the budget blueprint to a $59 billion dollar emergency spending package winding through Congress. The blueprint would set the discretionary spending level for fiscal 2011. Congress Daily reports it would allow appropriators to begin work on annual spending bills needed to fund federal programs after this budget year ends in September. Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad says time appears to running out to pass a stand-alone, five-year budget resolution in both chambers of Congress.
- The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has awarded a $73 million contract to overhaul its web site to provide more self-service and information. NextGov reports CGI Federal got the job of improving Medicare.gov, MyMedicare.gov, and CMS.HHS.GOV. The sites potentially serve 44 million beneficiaries and their health care providers.
- The Department of Energy launched its "Energy Island" in Second Life back in February. Now comes word that Energy is looking to hire a new CIO, and they're accepting applications on the virtual 3D world.
- A group of big technology companies favors the idea of letting the Patent and Trademark Office set its own fees to fund itself, but they oppose the Senate version of patent overhaul, according to NextGov. The House takes up its version today. The Coalition for Patent Fairness cites a backlog of 750,000 applications as evidence the PTO needs more resources. Opposition to the Senate bill centers on missing language that would prevent diversion of patent application fees to other purposes.
- A total of 14 intelligence failures enabled would-be airline bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab board a Detroit-bound airliner last Christmas. That's according a Senate Intelligence Committee report released yesterday. The committee called information-sharing among intelligence agencies inadequate, and said no single agency sees itself as responsible for tracking terrorism threats. The committee said the National Counterterrorism Center should be the responsible agency.
- A special team of investigators is already interrogating high-value suspects in the U.S. and overseas. White House terrorism adviser John Brennan tells a foreign policy forum that the so-called high-value detainee interrogation group, or the HIG, has been at work for the past few months. The elite team of investigators from the FBI, CIA and Defense Department was set up to question terror suspects as soon as possible after an arrest. The unit as it exists now is run by the FBI and headed by an FBI employee with two deputies - one from the CIA and one from the Defense Department. Its three regional teams - their locations have not been disclosed - will be staffed by a full-time team of experts, including everything from linguists to terrorist analysts to professional interrogators.
- How important is that coffee when you're doing shift work? The New York Times reports that caffeine could mean the difference between making a critical mistake on the job - and getting through the shift with no worries. A study published in "The Cochrane Library" finds that a cup of coffee can help, even if prescription meds, melatonin and light therapy all fail. Thirteen separate studies were combined and scientists found caffeine works better than either a placebo or a nap to minimize mistakes. Caffeine also helped improve attention span, memory, reasoning and other mental skills in nighttime workers.

TROY — Law enforcement officials protect and serve the people, they put their lives on the line daily and they give out tickets and citations to law-breakers.
But when it comes to the holiday season, law enforcement officials in Miami County are giving in a different way.
Officers from all over Miami County and representatives from the Miami County Sheriff's Office were out at Meijer Friday evening assisting families and children on their hunt for Christmas gifts. This year, the Christmas Outreach Program and Services assisted 40 families and 78 children, providing every child with a $100 budget for Christmas gifts.
"The reward is seeing the children's faces when we go in with the presents — that's what we get out of this," said Billie Ray, vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police. "A lot of these kids wouldn't have a decent Christmas if our organization, and other organizations in other counties, didn't do this.
"Police officers and firefighters and paramedics and rescue people, we go out and risk our lives daily, but we are also about giving. Police officers don't just give tickets — we give too."
There were officers from Troy, Piqua, Tipp City, West Milton and Covington on hand Friday, along with people from the Miami County Juvenile Detention Center, Adult Parole Authorities, the Victim Witness Program and even Santa made an appearance.
And this coming Wednesday, it will truly be Christmas come early for the children who were apart of Friday's event.
Following the Meijer shopping spree, people who assisted with the project gathered at F.O.P. Lodge No. 58 in Troy to wrap gifts. This Wednesday, two teams will gather in police cruisers accompanied by Santa and present each child with their gifts, though they are only allowed to open one that night.
"The children that are being shopped for tonight will get a visit from Santa Wednesday," Ray said.
A large portion of the funds to make C.O.P.S. possible come from a golf outing they hold in July. This year's outing raised more than $4,000. The program also takes private donations and donations from Meijers. C.O.P.S. runs in assistance with the Miami County Children's Services, Miami County Home Builders, Ronald McDonald House (Dayton and Cincinnati). If interested in making a donation, contact Ray at (937) 332-6807 or at (937) 603-2365.
"It means so much," Ray said. "It's a lot of work that all the guys at the lodge do and put into this, but it's well worth it — and it's very rewarding."


text: The role of today's chief financial officer (CFO) is more complex than ever. CFOs are managing people, systems and technology infrastructure in the air of intense regulatory scrutiny and changing economic conditions. They're driving or adapting to strategic shifts in their companies' business models. And as always, they're ensuring that the finance organization performs its core accounting and reporting duties effectively and efficiently. As the role continues to expand and evolve, it's no wonder many financial leaders are frustrated by ever-increasing demands on their time and resources.

If you think that you're not at risk because there's no breast cancer in your family, you might be mistaken. The truth is that scientists still don't know what causes breast cancer - only that certain factors, such as obesity or drinking too much alcohol, may increase risk. Here's a little help understanding what researchers do know about breast cancer.
Myth: Breast cancer is largely genetic.
Fact: Just 5 to 10 percent of cases are due to faulty breast cancer genes BRCA1 and BRCA2. Even in women who have a family history, many cases are due not to specific gene mutations, according to the American Cancer Society, but rather to a combination of shared lifestyle factors and genetic susceptibilities.
Myth: Breast cancer always appears as a lump.
Fact: Approximately 10 percent of those diagnosed with breast cancer have no lumps, pain, or other breast symptoms. And among lumps that are detected, 80 to 85 percent are benign. That said, any lump or breast symptom that does not go away should be checked by a doctor.
Myth: Young women don't get breast cancer.
Fact: Breast cancer is more common in postmenopausal women, but it can affect people of any age. In fact, women under 50 account for 25 percent of all breast cancer cases, and they tend to have higher mortality rates. This may be partly explained by the fact that younger women tend to have denser breasts, which makes it harder to spot lumps during mammograms. Because of this, it's a good idea to perform monthly breast self-exams starting at age 20, have a clinical exam by a doctor every three years, and start mammography screening at age 40. If you have dense breasts or a family history of breast cancer, ask your doctor about more advanced screening options, such as MRI and digital mammogram.
Myth: Deodorant and antiperspirants cause breast cancer.
Fact: One e-mail rumor claimed that antiperspirant prevents you from sweating out toxins, which can then accumulate in the lymph nodes and cause breast cancer. But in 2002, researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle found no link. A second rumor speculated that certain chemicals in antiperspirants, such as aluminum and parabens, may cause breast cancer because there is a lower prevalence of the disease in developing countries where women don't use these products. However, in Europe, where antiperspirants are not widely used, the rate of breast cancer is higher than it is in the United States.
Myth: Wearing a bra increases your cancer risk.
Fact: This rumor appears to have started after a book called Dressed to Kill suggested that bras obstruct toxin-laden lymph fluid from flowing out of the breast. However, this was speculation based on a survey and no scientific evidence. Since then, major medical institutions have refuted the claim. If women who don't wear bras are less likely to get breast cancer, it's probably because they tend to be thinner; obesity is a known risk factor.
Myth: Breast cancer is preventable.
Fact: Although you can certainly address certain risk factors like obesity and inactivity, there's not enough information about what causes breast cancer for women to prevent it completely. To prevent breast cancer once and for all, more research is needed -- especially studies that examine differences between women who get it and those who don't.

'The insulters tell us more about themselves than anything else.'
Maybe, maybe not KTR. Depends on the persons involved and the circumstance.
Sometimes don't some people deserve insults? I mean, come on.
Gore Vidal:
"Lately, X [writer] is being mysteriously attacked by peripheral literary folk as a drunken bully and general lout. It is true that the MLA disliked him as much as he did them, but at least there are good reasons on both sides, which he spelled out in a splendid work of demolition. The current attacks on X may simply be dismissed as 'mere English': unfocused malice, combined with a well-earned sense of inferiority when faced with any powerful wide-ranging mind."
"Mere English" is what KRT and Dennis had begun to write, which is why I've put them on ignore. I love that description.

This is a Syrah with a Pinot producer's touch. Easily the darkest wine we make but with the lowest alcohol. An uncommon freshness accompanies the rich full flavors one expects from Syrah. Not too bold, not too grapey, toasted oak overtones, a bit of savory pepper spice, a bit of bitter sweet dark chocolate.
This is my go to wine for Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon where she calls for most of the bottle. It's equally at home with virtually any barbecue or full flavored ripe cheeses.

A creak/pop noise while turning may mean that updated steering rack bushing tubes need to be installed.
2010 Ford Mustang Problem Reports
RepairPal Verified 2010 Ford Mustang Problem Reports
The synchronizer shaft for the camshaft position sensor can cause a loud squeak or chirping noise due to failure of the upper bushing. The noise may be erratic and is usually present when the engine is warm.
The magnet for the camshaft position sensor may fall out of its mount and damage the synchronizers. This causes long crank times when starting the engine and may cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. If this happens, both the magnets and the synchronizers need to be replaced.
4.0L V6 engines may develop a buzzing type noise from the upper engine area at about 1900 RPM, under light acceleration. Our technicians tell us this can be caused by loose ignition coil bracket bolts. Coil bracket bolts should be checked for the correct torque before further diagnoses is performed.
If a squeaking noise is heard while turning the steering wheel, the outer tie rod ends may be worn and should be replaced.

This page provides an overview of 2 articles related to 'perl', listing most recently updated content first. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1987 as a general-purpose Unix scripting language to make report processing easier. Since then, it has undergone many changes and revisions and become widely popular amongst programmers. Larry Wall continues to oversee development of the core language, and its upcoming version, Perl 6. Perl borrows features from other programming languages including C, shell scripting (sh), AWK, and sed. The language provides powerful text processing facilities without the arbitrary data length limits of many contemporary Unix tools, facilitating easy manipulation of text files. Perl gained widespread popularity in the late 1990s as a CGI scripting language, in part due to its parsing abilities. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Perl)

Fetchers may be a dime a dozen but when it comes to the breakdown, only Heinrich Brüssow is capable of the perfect crime.
In the new issue of SA Rugby magazine, on sale this week, the Bok flanker explains his approach to stealing ball at the breakdown, why he always tests referees early on in a game, and why he doesn't consider himself to be a cheat.
In the same article, Jake White gets technical and explains why Brüssow has been able to impress in what is a new game under new laws.
Also in the new issue:
– SA's Super 14 stars: Ruan Pienaar, Gary Botha, Bryan Habana and Carlos Spencer
– How technological advancements will aid the management of our players in terms of their conditioning
– We speak to three of the world's best rugby minds about the state of the game
– Gert Smal on his role in Irish rugby, cracking the Bok lineout, and his plan to develop black players, which was ignored by Saru
– The 2010 Six Nations marks 100 years of French participation in the European championship. We find out how they went from tournament whipping boys to eight-time Grand Slam champions
– Zac Guildford will never forget 2009, for good and bad reasons. But all indications are that 2010 could be even more memorable on the rugby field for one of New Zealand's brightest talents
– Former Bulls lock Hendrik Roodt on signing for the Waratahs, whether he'd consider playing for the Wallabies, and why he can't wait to test himself against Bakkies Botha and Victor Matfield
– Frans Steyn on playing for Racing Metro, his fractured relationship with Peter de Villiers, and why inside centre is his preferred position

Patrick Lambie has been left out of the 24-man Springbok squad selected for the Tri-Nations Tests in South Africa.
As expected, coach Peter de Villiers has recalled the majority of the players that were precluded from the Australasian tour. The players that won't be considered due to injuries are Schalk Burger (hand), Juan Smith (Achilles), Andries Bekker (ankle), Willem Alberts (shoulder), Johann Muller (hamstring) and Duane Vermeulen (knee).
Surprisingly, Lambie is excluded from the group, as Butch James and Morne Steyn are listed as the flyhalf options. Chiliboy Ralepelle also hasn't made the 24-man cut despite his impressive efforts on tour.
Burger, Smith and Alberts won't be considered for the Test against Australia on 13 August, but will join the squad in Durban and continue with their rehabilitation. Cheetahs flank Heinrich Brussow will be assessed after this weekend's Currie Cup match against WP, and if the Bok medical team is satisfied with his progress, he may come into contention for next week's Test.
The big bolter is Gerhard Mostert, who wins a place in the squad ahead of Bulls No 4 lock Flip van der Merwe. Mostert made his debut against the All Blacks last week.
'It's very satisfying to see that Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha have now largely overcome their injuries but they still require management as we have a shortage of fit locks at the moment,' said De Villiers.
'We also have injury problems among the loose forwards but I am hopeful that all of the four who are not currently in the playing squad will be ready for selection by the time of the World Cup.'
The squad will assemble in Durban on Sunday.

Scrumhalf Piet van Zyl has been preferred to Tewis de Bruyn for the Cheetahs' important match against the Stormers this Saturday.
De Bruyn started at No 9 last week but has been replaced by Van Zyl for this particular match. The more experienced player has been included on the bench, but it is Van Zyl's running game that has been preferred first up.
Coach Naka Drotské hasn't made any other changes to the match 22 that faced the Force last week.
Meanwhile, Boland flyhalf Elgar Watts is training with the side in Bloemfontein and will come into the squad if one of Sias Ebersohn or Riaan Smit are injured.
Cheetahs – 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Cameron Jacobs, 13 Robert Ebersohn, 12 Andries Strauss, 11 Willie le Roux, 10 Sias Ebersohn, 9 Piet van Zyl, 8 Philip van der Walt, 7 Justin Downey, 6 Heinrich Brüssow, 5 Izak van der Westhuizen, 4 George Earle, 3 WP Nel, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Coenie Oosthuizen
Subs: 16 Hercu Liebenberg, 17 Trevor Nyakane, 18 Andries Ferreira, 19 Ashley Johnson, 20 Tewis de Bruyn, 21 Riaan Smit, 22 Philip Snyman

HERSHEY — Last Saturday, seven Punxsutawney area wrestlers traveled to Hershey to compete on Pennsylvania's largest stage for grapplers their age — the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling State Championship Tournament — and one grappler attained a long-awaited, highly-coveted prize when Kaleb Young was crowned state champion at 117 pounds in the 13- and 14-year-old class.
"We can't be happy enough for Kaleb," Punxsy coach Bill Burke said upon returning from Hershey. "I guess we can say 'the third time is a charm,' as he was a state runner-up twice previously."
CLARION — With lots of former PAHS athletes reaching successful accomplishments at the collegiate level of late, one former Lady Chuck has been quietly running away at Clarion University— quite literally.
Milea Schall, a 2011 PAHS grad and long-distance event specialist, is described as a pretty quiet sort of athlete, who goes about her business by her former coach George Wehrle. But Schall has been making some noise as a freshman at Clarion, having made the transition to college athletics — and academics — seem quite seamless.
PUNXSUTAWNEY – Just as the seasons are changing, and the landscape of Punxsutawney continues to undergo significant transformations with the construction of several new large buildings, The Punxsutawney Spirit and Jefferson County Neighbors are also undergoing major changes with the departure of publisher Mary Jude Troupe, who is retiring from the newspaper business to pursue other career opportunities.
Tracy L. Smith, a Spirit advertising representative for the past eight years, will take on the role of publisher.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The process of recording music can, at times, become tedious, especially when the producer wants a performer to sing or play a certain part — a vocal or a drum part, for example — over and over again in order to catch the right take.
That wasn't the case for the duo known as Randy Paul — Randy Thompson and his father, Paul Thompson, a popular vocalist in this area who is also the pastor of the Cloe, Covode and Steffy United Methodist Churches.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsutawney Christian and Missionary Alliance Church is offering a free showing of the movie "Courageous" at 6:30 p.m. Sunday at the church's Family Life Center.
"Our purpose for showing the "Courageous" movie started out as an in-church fund-raiser for our youth group and its trip to LIFE 2013 in St. Louis, Mo.," said Melanie McBee, one of the event organizers, along with Mary Hoover and Connie Neal.
Ralph E. Miller, 69, Smicksburg, passed away Friday, March 30, 2012, at Mulberry Square Elder Care & Rehabilitation Center, Punxsutawney.
He was born Oct. 20, 1942, in Punxsutawney, a son of the late Charles H. and Vera (Neal) Miller.
He was a member of the Mt. Zion Lutheran Church in Trade City.
Mr. Miller was employed for 30 years by PennDOT, where he worked as an inspector before retiring.
He loved playing Bingo and maintained his home on the farm where he was born.
Mr. Miller made his home at Mahoning Riverside Manor in Punxsutawney for the past four years.
Charles "Spark" Seger, 77, Punxsutawney, passed away Thursday, March 29, 2012, at Mulberry Square Elder Care & Rehabilitation Center.
He was born July 26, 1934, in Rossiter, a son of the late Sherman and Robina (Johnson) Seger.
July 14, 1956, he married, Virginia L. (Stiteler) Seger, of Punxsutawney, who survives.
Mr. Seger was a member of the Rossiter Sportsmans' Club. He was also an avid gardner and, most of all, a loving husband, father and grandfather.
REYNOLDSVILLE — Two Republican candidates seeking the 66th Legislative District seat in the state House of Representatives said Thursday night that Harrisburg regulates its constituents too much and is not pushing a conservative agenda, despite the Republican majority.
Meanwhile, the man they hope to unseat — incumbent House Speaker Sam Smith — stood on his record and as a leading voice for rural Pennsylvania.
It was a "Cartoon Catastrophe" at the 2012 Variety Show Thursday night, as Spongebob Squarepants (Kevin Byars, left) and Patrick Star (James Doverspike) took center stage amongst their cartoon friends. The Variety Show continues tonight at 7 p.m. at PAHS.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Members of the Punxsutawney Area School Board say they dislike the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA ) mandating price increases for school lunches.
District Cafeteria Manager Denise Geist said the USDA eventually wants all of the school districts to get to $2.51 as the price per lunch.
She said she thinks the district should raise the price of a lunch for next year by 10 cents.
"We can raise it a nickel like we did last year," Geist said, adding that the operative number for last year was $2.46 per lunch.

MARK KEOHANE, in his weekly Business Day column, says Saturday's Super Rugby final will be a farce instead of a real contest the tournament deserves.
Can the Sharks win in Hamilton and claim a first Super Rugby title?
Of course they can.
Are they good enough, individually and as a unit, to beat the home team?
Of course they are.
Will they win it?
The competition structure in Super Rugby finals has always been flawed because of the need to cram as much as possible into the year calendar, make the various administrations as much money as possible and give the broadcaster as much product as is possible.
A final should be about a contest and the definition of a contest is that the winner should not be predetermined.
Finals in which one team travels more than 19,300km and is given one training run before the season climax are finals only in name.
You play at home, you win. You play away, you lose. Occasionally a very good side wins away from home in another country in Super Rugby. In the history of the tournament, this was the exclusive right of a very talented and special Crusaders squad.
Officials argue that this is to reward consistency and the team placing top of the league gets all the play-off advantages. Cool, then why have a final? Win the league and you should be the champions.
The moment a play-off structure was introduced, which guaranteed each of the three Sanzar countries a play-off spot, it nullified any justification of rewarding league form.
Australia is the weakest conference. The Reds would have placed sixth on league strength. They won the Australian conference and got third on the overall league.
It is all a lie. From the outset, league form is not rewarded.
There should be three titles: a trophy and cash for the respective conference winner. It is a reward. It is an achievement. You, for example the Stormers, are the best South African team in the conference.
Then there's the overall league winner and a very huge cash incentive and a big trophy. You are consistently the best team of the season, for example, the Stormers this year.
Now, your winners get a heads-up in the six-team play-offs, which is another tournament within a tournament. The heads-up is you get to host a play-off match which puts you in a position to play in the final, which is at a neutral venue and whose only purpose is revenue for the two respective teams and the competition organisers.
And there is a fortnight break between the play-off and the final. Then you have a tournament, in which there is merit, there is reward and there is logic.
Why have a climax to a tournament in which the format determines the winner? We play at home, we win. We play away, we lose. Why bother?
I have heard all the crazy arguments that if a team is that good they win anywhere. Crap.
The Crusaders' campaign a year ago had a Hollywood script but a real ending, not that which sells to a dummy audience.
The same applies this coming Saturday. The Chiefs have to win because they are rested, at home and well prepared. The Sharks, in Brisbane a fortnight ago, in Cape Town last week and in Hamilton this weekend, have spent more time travelling than on the field.
Greed is the only motivator of the current system. There is no reward to any player, team or supporter.
Invariably the losing team in the final is lambasted by a disappointed supporter, and before there is time for proper analysis it all gets repeated in a league format at a national level.
Why no final here? The draw again influences the final standings.
The Sharks have confirmed their class in beating the Stormers. They were good enough. And they got the result. The Stormers, given the class of player, overachieved in winning the league and hosting a semi-final through consistently winning and they did not choke. A choke is when there is no way a team should lose. There was always a chance that they could lose because of the limitations within the available match 22 and the lack of try-scoring potency in the game plan.
The Chiefs, in New Zealand, were deserving winners and a Crusaders' victory would merely have added to the illusion of the brilliance of a Crusaders team that relies on the extraordinary talents of Richie McCaw and Dan Carter and a historical dominance that has long not been a reflection of their rugby in the tournament.
The seven-times tournament champions have now lost five successive semi-finals and that is more relevant than the seven titles won by another generation.
We play at home, we win. You play at home, you win.
If it works for you, cool, but then add a bit of perspective to the illusion and see the tournament as a money spinner and not a representation of a team's ability.
Both semi-finals were great value for New Zealand and SA respectively. Both national squads will be strong. Both will teams be extremely difficult to beat at home.
Don't confuse national with regional and provincial. No bloke in Canterbury wants the Chiefs to beat the Sharks because the latter are South African. On the contrary. The same applies here. Unite behind the Sharks? Tell that to the Bulls and Lions supporters, as just two examples. Unite behind the Boks yes, but the Sharks are not a representation of Cape Town or Johannesburg.
National is national. Provincial is provincial. League is league. Knockout is knockout. Cash is all that motivates the administration. If it was about the contest, they wouldn't force one team to spend 48 hours travelling across the world and then make them play 48 hours after touchdown.
The Sharks and Chiefs are bloody good sides. There is little between the two. It should be the dream final.
Instead it is a farce. It was when the Chiefs travelled to Pretoria a few years ago.
Can the Sharks win?
Of course they can.
Will they win?
They've won already if you are judging their rugby.

More pets are lost on the Fourth of July than any other time of year. It's a heartbreaking scenario for pet parents, but swift action and major networking can increase the odds that you will be reunited with your cat or dog.
We recently surveyed more than 1,000 households with pets across the country to find out if they had lost a dog or cat in the past five years—and if they did, did they find that pet and where did they look?
Of those pet guardians surveyed, 15 percent had lost a dog or a cat in the past five years, and 85 percent of those lost dogs and cats were recovered.
The study's findings suggest the following are key when recovering a lost pet:
- Searching immediately when one knows the pet is lost;
- Searching within the neighborhood first through visual searches as well as posters and online; and
- Checking local shelters from the first day your pet is lost.
If your pet is lost, it's important not to panic. Enlist the help of all of your friends and neighbors and hit the streets! Read our extended article on Finding a Lost Pet for more information and helpful hints.
Take advantage of any free offers (or paid, if you can afford it) to broadcast lost pet info on local radio stations and to post a classified ad in your local newspaper. And use FaceBook! Post on your page and any of your local friends' pages.
For cats or dogs, leave a favorite treat in and around the home. For cats I always make canned food noises, (tapping a can, or opening one). For dogs squeaky toy sounds can be enticing.
There are wonderful apps for intertaining cats on iTunes, one being the sounds of opening cans of cat food, the popping of lids, the shaking of cat treats. These apps would be great to help find your lost cat as you walk,drive,around neighborhoods with the volume turned up high, better yet connected to your cars radio to really blast the sound! Night time is the best time to look for your missing cat as they are nighttime roamers. Take your flashlight and beam it into and around fields attracting the moving eyes of your cat. Keep calling your cats name as you do this. I have found my lost cats by doing this,
Get in your car an drive slow while calling for your pet. My dogs love riding in cars and when they escaped out the front door my husband got in the car and when they saw us they came running to go for a ride
While walking and driving around to search for your pet be sure to listen for other barking dogs. It's possible they are barking because they are seeing a "strange" dog. I found a friend's dog this way once.
Check out www.missingpetparnership.org website.
Contact local rescue groups that work in the area - even when they rescue different type of animals. Cat rescue groups often include people who feed colonies and strays around neighborhoods. These are people who will notice when a strange cat OR dog is around and if your pet is lost and hungry, they'll tend to gravitate to where these people are feeding. These are also people who trap animals in order to get them sterilized and a lost pet could easily end up in one of their traps.
Don't give up on a lost pet for weeks. For cats especially, keep calling them early in the morning (around 6am or earlier) and late in the evenings (after 9pm) when things are quieter. They are more likely to emerge from where they're hiding when people aren't around and since it's quieter around these times, you'll be able to hear a meow responding to your calls.
Best way possible is to Micro-chip your dog. With the Micro-chip you can usually purchase a lifetime license as well. Next best thing, call the shelter-radio station and never quit looking for you friend and companion.

Gallery: LOT-EK Recycles Doors Into a Clever Storefront for Van Alen Bo...
"We are not reinventing the wheel," said Director Olympia Kazi. "We are addressing a need. We have received so much love, so much excitement, about books."
What makes Van Alen Books so special however, is that it isn't just a storefront — it's an art installation that serves as a powerful social statement on the nature of books and public meeting spaces. It has long been a standing belief, especially in the 21st century, that because print sales are going down, bookstores are no longer needed. But not only is Van Alen Books a cool place for those looking for information on architecture and design, but it also serves as a nod to those who long for more stores of its kind.
LOT-EK created an interesting green design, using recycled doors from Build it Green NYC! to make a long, layered staircase in the center of the space. The stairs are used for seating, but also double as more shelving. LOT-EK implemented their signature style of having one half of their work finished and beautifully designed, while the other half is left to look more rough and gritty. LOT-EK states that:
Van Alen Books serves more as a statement in support of the public meeting space. Van Alen Books addresses the point that despite the fact that print book sales are slowly dwindling down, especially with the rise of the Kindle, public spaces where people can meet and discuss is what makes book stores relevant.
And indeed, bookstores are still relevant. Being that human beings are inherently social creatures, the need for a forum to meet and discuss is still desired. The purpose and design of this space might be unusual, and rather risky, but it definitely serves its purpose.
Van Alen Books 30 West 22nd Street Open Monday-Saturday, 11am – 7pm

ASHEVILLE — With one of the core parts on its engine weakened, Elon University drew enough strength from other sources to fuel a victory in the Southern Conference Tournament for men's basketball.
Jack Isenbarger's illness and subsequent rough outing became a speed bump instead of a pothole as the Phoenix grinded past UNC Greensboro 68-61 in Saturday night's quarterfinal at U.S. Cellular Center.
"In many ways, we feel like 'survive' is the word to characterize the victory," Elon coach Matt Matheny said.
That tough-it-out mode stemmed from what Isenbarger dealt with here in Elon's tournament opener. The guard — the Phoenix's second-leading scorer and a newly named all-league selection — had missed practice time in the preceding days due to a cold that left him congested and drained of energy.
Then a collision early on against UNCG bloodied Isenbarger's nose.
Seven minutes later in the first half, Isenbarger got trucked while defending the Spartans' hard-charging Derrell Armstrong. He was called for a blocking foul and soon was hunched behind the Elon bench, vomiting into a trash can.
So into the breach stepped back-up point guard Josh Bonney, whose 16 minutes of extended playing time off the bench were critical as second-seeded Elon (21-10) advanced to meet third-seeded College of Charleston (23-9) in tonight's second semifinal.
Sebastian Koch (15 points), Lucas Troutman (14 points, 10 rebounds) and Ryley Beaumont (12 points, eight rebounds) paced Elon's balanced contributions. Bonney added eight points – he has totaled more just twice in 25 games this season – and Isenbarger recovered to chip in 11 points after starting 1-for-7 from the field.
"That's the great thing about our team," Troutman said, "the depth that we have and the guys that we have being able to step up."
Troutman said he and Beaumont had a recent conversation about Elon's propensity for overcoming adversity and the confidence it has developed for pulling out victories in close games.
Those characteristics emerged again Saturday night, in Elon's eight consecutive defeat of neighboring rival UNCG (9-22), the second one in the space of eight nights.
The Phoenix, the league's North Division champion, led 44-34 on Isenbarger's 3 with 13:34 remaining and 57-50 on Troutman's nice fake inside and reverse layup with 5:39 left.
UNCG, despite erratic performances from standouts Trevis Simpson (5-for-19 from the field) and Armstrong (3-for-16 from the field), rallied within four points twice during the final four minutes. Each time, Elon had an appropriate answer.
Isenbarger's 3 from the top of the key that thumped off the back rim and trickled in with 2:51 remaining was huge, especially with perhaps another UNCG comeback seeming to be in the works — the Spartans opened the tournament by climbing out of 11-point deficit and past Chattanooga in Friday night's first round.
"We were fortunate that it went in," Matheny said, referring to Isenbarger's iron-friendly 3.
"A back-breaking jump shot," UNCG coach Wes Miller said. "He's a big-time player. He made a big-time shot."
Beaumont, Isenbarger and Koch combined to hit 7 of 8 free throws for Elon during the last 37.4 seconds. Isenbarger was on the court during the end-game, gutting it out through the last 4½ minutes.
Prior to Elon's clinching segment from the foul line, Simpson, the league's leading scorer, and Nicholas Paulos loaded up 3s with less than 1:45 left that could've brought UNCG within one possession had they dropped.
None of those three near-misses loomed larger than Simpson's quickly pulled 3 that rimmed out with 38.7 seconds remaining. That came on the heels of an Isenbarger turnover, with Elon leading 61-57.
"I was really pleased with the looks that we got in the last five minutes of the game," Miller said. "I thought we got a lot of clean looks. Some of our best shooters, some of our best scorers. They didn't go down."
That became the debilitating story for UNCG, which missed as many shots from the field (49) as Elon attempted.
Simpson's 16 points led the Spartans, who finished 22-for-71 (31 percent) from the field. Armstrong, UNCG's hero with 25 points in Friday night's first round, had eight points and 11 rebounds. He misfired on 13 of his first 14 shots from the field.
-- TIP-INS …: It has been more than three months since Elon's lone meeting of the regular season against College of Charleston, tonight's opponent in the semifinals. College of Charleston won that game, 56-54 on Dec. 1 at Elon's Alumni Gym. "We haven't played them in a long time," Koch said. "They've got a solid team." … On Saturday night against UNCG, Elon never trailed after Bonney's 3-pointer at the 6:46 mark of the first half. That was his fifth successful 3 of the season. … Isenbarger was receiving treatment and thus unavailable to speak with reporters afterward. His games against UNCG have been nightmarish this season – 1-for 11 shooting, six points and eight turnovers at Greensboro Coliseum (though he did nail the eventual game-winning 3) and 0-for-3 from the field, five points and four turnovers last weekend at Elon. … UNCG's Simpson, a junior, tried to choke back tears on the interview podium. When the session with reporters was done, he left the room arm-in-arm with UNCG athletics director Kim Record. … UNCG won the North Division last season and was the preseason pick to do so again this year. Miller opened his post-game comments Saturday night with the following: "It was a really tough year, and there's no other way to put it. … It's been frustrating and tough on us, because we certainly had expectations."

15-13, 25-10, 15-18, 23-15
Strong finishes to both halves carried Pinar Karsiyaka into the last 16 of the EuroChallenge with a 78-56 win over Tofas in an all-Turkish affair in Group A.
Robert Dixon led Karsiyaka home with 16 points while Abdul Aminu added 14 and Umit Sonkol had 11 with six rebounds.
They made their first decisive break in the second quarter as back-to-back dunks from Aminu were followed by a three from Sonkol and an 18-17 edge grew into an eight-point lead.
Sonkol set a trend and the threes rained in as the half came to an end, Caner Topaloglu, Dixon and Sonkol all hitting them in a 13-2 charge to the buzzer.
The lead stood at 40-23 at half-time and quickly moved north of 20 with a Jon Diebler three and an Aminu dunk from Dixon's alley-oop pass making it 45-23.
But Tofas dug deep and began to chip away at the hosts' imposing advantage, and back-to-back threes from Can Altintig and Steven Burtt to end the third quarter cut it to 55-41.
But if they had any notion of making a game of it, it would have been over early in the fourth as an 11-3 spurt had Pinar back up 66-44 with 7:39 to go.
Burtt led Tofas with 12 points while Altintig added 10.
Pinar Karsiyaka head coach Ufuk SaricaIt was an important game and an important win. We showed our power once again in home court and have an adventage for the first place of this group. Congratulations to my players."
Pinar Karsiyaka player Jon Diebler"We had started the game with a great concentration, and played hard against a hard team. We are happy about the win."
Tofas head coach Ahmet Caki"We came here for to have the advantage to qualify but we could not. However Pinar Karsiyaka will also play against KRKA."
Tofas player Austin Nichols"Beginnig soft against our opponent, and a weak 2nd half brought us down."
