The man has finally shown that fire again. That desire to win. He's still shaking off the rust of depression from the last few seasons around the basket, but I'll cut him slack for a while as long as he shows me that same fire he had while we were winning the rings.
Around the rim he can't let smaller guys bully him and change his shot. He's GOT to finish around the basket when guys like Ronnie Brewer are guarding him for goodness sake. But like I said: as long as I keep seeing this fired up version of Pau Gasol, I'm willing to give him time to come back.
Forgive the nerd reference, but he reminds me of the King of Rohan coming out of his funk. It's been so long since he's shown this kind of fire, sometimes he'll get a little lost along the way. But that dunk really showed me and us and the rest of the league that he's starting to come back. He's starting to feel it again. My hope for him going forward is that he continues making progress continues finding himself as a player again.
That dunk made me happy for so many reasons, but it really rekindled my affection for this guy. THAT was the Pau that helped lead us to 3 straight Finals.

I guess if the HEAD COACH tells you to play outside, the whole team expect you to play outside, it's time to force your way into the post and kick Howard out and start being the center. He is stuck between doing what came naturally to him and what is expected of him. In practices, probably the only plays they run for him is for him to be standing 15+ ft away from the basket, now going into games, I dont think it is that easy to just switch the switch and start posting up. Especially when the offense run a whole different system.

I want this guy around this season. This realistically will probably be his last but I'm rooting for him as a Laker and am hoping he will help bring us number 17. I've come down on him plenty in the past few years, but the incessant whining about him lately drives me crazy. He's still on our team as Nash wanted and Mitch wanted, and I'm glad he's finally healthy. He has his weaknesses but he's a team player and now that we have Dwight and Nash as well as Kobe there's much less pressure on him to be the number two guy. The system isn't the absolute greatest for him, but I think he's finding ways to be part of the offense - the high post once again is proving to be a great place for him and his passing. I don't love him shooting threes or taking him too far away from the basket if it hurts our rebounding, but he's still doing some very good things out there. He's obviously not the greatest fit, but to me he still brings too much to the table to move him unless there is a great deal out there. I'm hoping he gets to finish the year and maybe/hopefully get that chip.

Softball's Offensive Continues to Roll in DH Sweep at Johnson C. Smith; Coach Vullo Wins 100th Career Game
April 8, 2013
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Pfeiffer University softball team scored a season-high 13 runs and pounded out 18 hits in game one to cruise to a doubleheader sweep at Johnson C. Smith on Monday afternoon. The Lady Falcons win their fourth and fifth-straight games, including Coach Vullo's 100th career win, improving to 18-22 overall while dropping the Golden Bulls to 8-23.
Sam Jarmusch and Celia Dew picked up early RBI in the first frame while Jessica Jackson started the second by stealing home. Hannah Jackson would make it 4-0 in the second on a single back up the middle. A Johnson C. Smith error in the third and single to left by Russell made it 6-0. Pfeiffer opened things up with three more in the fourth and four in the fifth as a Sadie Saine two-run bunt single helped end game one in five innings.
Hannah Jackson ended the opener 4-for-4 with two RBI and three runs scored while Jarmusch and Russell each picked up three hits along with Emily Workman. Jarmusch would pick up her fifth-straight win tossing a four-hit shutout with eight strikeouts. The Lady Falcons would steal 12 bases in game one before swiping nine in game two.
Pfeiffer would open up a scoreless game two in the top of the fourth as Russell again came up big with a two-run single down the left-field line. A Tyresha Ellis sacrifice fly would put the Lady Falcons up 3-0 moments later. In the fifth, an Ashlee Ellen groundout made it 4-0 while Pfeiffer's final runs came in the seventh on a two-run, inside-the-park home run by Dew.
Pfeiffer gets back into Conference Carolinas action on Thursday traveling to Limestone for a 2:00 p.m. doubleheader with the Saints. Live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

During tight, slow speed turning, a rubbing noise can sometimes be heard from the rear of the car. This noise is likely coming from the clutches in the limited slip differential. If the noise persists, the differential fluid can be replaced with a special oil available from BMW. On higher mileage vehicles, this noise may never be eliminated unless the differential is replaced.

THIS WEEKEND I'll be in Vancouver, BC for the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival!
Held at the Roundhouse on Saturday and Sunday (May 23-24), admission is COMPLETELY FREE and so I expect to see ALL of you there.
Besides holding down the ol' table, I'll also be participating in these events:
Sunday, May 24th 12:00 PM – 12:45 PM
Hosted by Karla Pacheco
Featuring Kory Bing, Emily Horne, Jeph Jacques, David Malki !
To celebrate the world premiere of Inspector Pancakes Helps The President of France Solve The White Orchid Murders, creator Karla Pacheco, along with her terrible, terrible co-conspirators, planned to hold a panel. But her panel plans will have to wait, because it looks like one of her panellists … is a murderer! Armed with her wits, a group of ornery comics creators, and a team of adorable crack dog detectives, Karla Pacheco is on the case! But will you help her investigation, or hinder it?
Sunday, May 24th 4:00 PM – 4:45 PM
Hosted by The Fictionals
Featuring Ian Boothby, Jeff Ellis, David Malki !, JJ McCullough, Alina Pete
Join The Fictionals Comedy Co., Cloudscape Comics, and double-threats Ian Boothby and David Malki ! for a packed hour of comics & comedy in Quick on the Draw 3: The Quickening! This event combines the best of both worlds: improvisers perform for your amusement while artists draw their shenanigans. Featuring improv games, live drawing, and—most importantly—prizes! Audience participation is suggested, and fun is mandatory.
I had a great time at Maker Faire last week! PROBABLY the highlight was getting a 19th-century tintype portrait taken by the fine folks at Sonoma Tintype.
Tintype photography etches an image onto a metal plate. I had thought about getting a cool shot for a vintage-feeling author photo, or something.
INSTEAD what ENDED UP HAPPENING was a portrait of the 19th century's most notorious pickax-murdering train robber:
SO GREAT. Everyone should get a tintype photo done, it'll outlast any of your other worldly possessions.
Oh hey here's some Roll-a-Sketches too!! I did a bunch, of course, but here's an incomplete selection of my favorites from the weekend (click the images for bigger):
And of course ZOMBIE + MUSICAL + BANANA + WIZARD:
Thanks to the many fine folks who said hello and got to take home a Roll-a-Sketch!! See the rest of you in Vancouver!
THIS WEEKEND I'll be at Maker Faire in San Mateo!
Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these "makers" come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.
– From "What is Maker Faire"
For the FIRST TIME this year it's a three-day show: there's an "Industry Night" on Friday night, and then it's open to the public like usual on Saturday & Sunday.
WHAT INDUSTRY is that referring to? I dunno! We all work hard, you and me. We are all industrious.
I will be in the BAZAAR, which is a craft-fair-style sort of sub-fair within Maker Faire. At BOOTH #29:
Perhaps you would like to come get a book or a puzzle or a Roll-a-Sketch…or even just a firm handshake or a wave from a respectful distance! We will have all of these things available.
If you will be ANYWHERE ELSE this weekend, you can now get our puzzles!! They're available at TopatoCo (with all my other great things) or Amazon (with, like, peanut butter or whatever).
COMING UP SOON: A special project involving Roll-a-Sketch original watercolor paintings.
If you would like to own one of these limited, one-of-a-kind pieces (last seen in the 2014 Wondermark Calendar or in postcards)…
Or some OTHER neat things…
Your chance is coming up. SOON.
See you at Maker Faire!!
Voice actor SungWon Cho has a series on Tumblr of audio performances of comic strips! (The video above is him, too.)
I've seen comics narrated a few times and it's always pretty fun. SungWon does it exceptionally well.
Of course I am partial to his reading of a Wondermark strip! NICELY DONE, SUNGWON.
But they are all great.
(Note: Tumblr's audio player has known bugs with Chrome. Use a different browser if it doesn't work.)
I also love seeing this sort of thing done in general: talented people having fun with their talent in a way that other people can share. That can do more for a career than fancy business cards, or expensive websites, or press releases extolling your own greatness. Heck I'm sharing his work right now!!

LA GRANGE — It'd only be cliché if it weren't so often true — Terry Avery is here for the kids.
A 17-year veteran of the Lenoir County Sheriff's Office, Avery is the North Lenoir High School resource officer. He said the best part of his job is watching students cross the stage at graduation, and knowing what it took to get there.
"When you start dealing with freshmen, and you watch them go through the 12th grade and graduate, there are some you pulled to the side and said, 'Look, maybe you need to settle down a little bit,' " Avery said. "They took time to listen to you, and then they graduate and come back and say, 'I appreciate you talking to me,' — that's been gratifying for me."
A 1987 graduate of North Lenoir, he's been at the school as an SRO since 2008. Avery started out with the LCSO in October 1995, thinking it was a good career. Though he wanted to be in law enforcement, he didn't know if the move would work out in the end, but it has. Avery said that he feels privileged to have served under Sheriff Billy Smith for the past 17 years and enjoys working with the sheriff's office.
Avery added that one of benefits of his current assignment is being able to see students regularly and lend a hand, with the main goals being a resource to the students, their parents and keeping the school safe.
"It's good experience being a resource officer, because you get to see kids on a daily basis, to see what they go through, as far as peer pressure, first-hand," Avery said. "And, you get to communicate with them and the parents, also."
When a large fight breaks out, like one did at North Lenoir earlier this school year, the SRO is tasked with bringing on others to assist and restore order.
"If you have a large fight like that, you have to get all the resources available, that means — immediately — staff, patrol units that are available to assist you to bring the situation under control and safe," Avery said.
Quelling the situation is only the beginning, however. Handling juvenile crime, or violations of school policy, results in necessary differences from an average deputy's patrol duty. Everyone is involved in the process.
"You have crime here, also, but you're dealing with juveniles. You're not dealing with adults. So, you have to take that into consideration," Avery said. "When you're dealing with juveniles, immediately, parents are involved."
He added that it's best when parents are involved following an incident.
"If it doesn't meet the level of a crime — a policy violation at the school, you're always dealing with the parents, also," Avery said. "A lot of time when you're on patrol, and you're dealing with adults, you're just dealing with them. If they're 16 or older, and they break the law, they go to jail. You're not necessarily dealing with the parents then.
"Here, you have more of a family-based situation."
Avery's been married to his wife for 19 years, and has two sons, 21 and 16 years old. His oldest son studies criminal justice at Lenoir Community College.

With a thrust of 25 metric tons (56,600 lb.), the V-2 rocket engine was the first large liquid-fuel rocket engine in the world, and greatly influenced rocket development in the USA, the USSR, France and Britain after World War II. The combustion chamber was the heart of the engine, as it was here that the propellants--liquid oxygen and water alcohol--came together and burned at a pressure of 15.45 atmospheres (227 lb./sq.in.), entering the chamber via 18 injectors on the top. The German Army rocket program developed the V-2 engine between 1937 and 1941, and it was successfully put into mass production in spite of its excessive complexity. Concentration-camp prisoners at the Mittelwerk facility installed nearly 6000 engines in the V-2s produced there.
The U.S. Army Air Forces transferred this artifact to the Smithsonian shortly after World War II.

Comments about Niterider Lumina 700:
Nice'n easy set up. Decent beginner strength to see if night riding is for you. For bike paths, this offers more light than you can ever need. Nontechnical singletrack use, has decent light coverage. When things get knarlly and vertical, you'll want more Lumens and a second installation on your bar or helmet. Very impressed with it's survival in the elements (mud, snow, heavy cold rain, etc.)
Best Uses
Comments about Niterider Lumina 700:
This is an excellent helmet mounted option for midpower lighting. Both the helmet and bar mounts are secure and provide good beam positioning capabilities. The brightness is as advertised, the beam pattern is on the tight side but very well distributed, and the light temperature is excellent, not too blue. No external battery makes it super convenient for commuting/quick mounting, and micro usb recharge provides flexibility. Only slight criticism I can think of is that it might be slightly lighter for helmet mounting.
Best Uses
Comments about Niterider Lumina 700:
It almost seems brighter than the 700 lumens suggested. Very easy to use. It is very bright with a narrow cone of light that goes quite a distance. Personally I feel it is perfect for being mounted on a helmet for night offload trail riding. It only throws light about 8' wide so for absolute best night trail riding I use this as a helmet light for directional attention to trail detail and another bar mounted more flood light style light for completely unrestricted night riding. Meaning; you can ride just as if it were day. This is referring to solo riding. If riding in a group of 2 or more riders I found this light to work extremely well!

OXFORD, Ohio – In the first game of the new National Collegiate Hockey Conference, No. 6 North Dakota came into a sold out Steve Cady Arena and handed No. 1 Miami a 4-2 loss Friday night. Despite outshooting UND (2-0-1, 1-0-0 NCHC) by a 37-25 margin, the RedHawks' (2-1-0, 0-1-0 NCHC) 23 penalty minutes proved to be pivotal as North Dakota used a late power play goal to put the game away.
Early on, Miami did not have an answer for North Dakota's Brendan O'Donnell and Michael Parks, who combined to put their team ahead 3-0 within the first 20:14 of the game. Parks opened the scoring with his first goal of the season at 7:55 of the first period on an assist from O'Donnell. Parks returned the favor just over 10 minutes later when he fed a pass to O'Donnell who sent a shot past Miami sophomore goaltender Jay Williams with 1:57 left to play in the opening period. Just 14 seconds into the second period, Parks again found O'Donnell for the 3-0 North Dakota lead.
The RedHawks battled back later in the second period when sophomore center Sean Kuraly took a pass in front of the crease from his classmate, defenseman Taylor Richart and muscled it past UND goalie Zane Gothberg to cut the deficit to 3-1 with his second goal of the season at 8:25 of the second. Junior forward Alex Wideman earned the second assist on the play.
With less than two minutes left in the second frame, freshman forward Anthony Louis took a pass from sophomore defenseman Matthew Caito deep in the offensive zone and looked for an open teammate. When he couldn't find a linemate in front of the goal, he took the shot himself, surprising Gothberg with the second goal of his career and pulling Miami to within one of North Dakota at 18:18 of the second period.
The RedHawks continued to pour on the offensive pressure early in the third period, putting four shots on goal in the first four minutes, but were unable to sustain the pressure after junior forward Blake Coleman went hard after a puck the defensive corner to Williams' right and checked a North Dakota player near the boards. The play resulted in a five-minute major and game misconduct penalty for Coleman. Miami killed off the major penalty, but for 4:10 they played with a one-man disadvantage, preventing a sustained offensive attack. The UND power play ended early when Luke Johnson took a penalty for elbowing 50 seconds before Miami returned to full strength.
As the RedHawks tried to put together sustained pressure in the offensive end, sophomore defenseman Michael Mooney and UND's Rocco Grimaldi got tangled up pursuing a loose puck, resulting in a tripping penalty to Mooney.
On the power play, North Dakota deflated the Miami momentum with a long shot off the stick of Nick Mattson that found its way through traffic and lit the lamp for the 4-2 lead at 12:45 of the third period.
The RedHawks finished 0-for-3 on the power play with five shots on goal with the extra attacker. They were 3-for-4 on the penalty kill and totaled 23 penalty minutes. Williams made 21 saves to fall to 1-1 on the season while his opposite number, Gothberg made 35 saves to move to 2-0-1.
Miami and North Dakota will face-off again on Saturday at 8 p.m. in the series finale at Steve Cady Arena as the RedHawks look for their first win in the new league. Live stats will be available here and live streaming video will be here (subscription required).

Dear Rasmussin,
We will never ever define God or Homosexuality, both eminate mysteriously from the minds of people, and both have their hard liners and peaceful adherents.
The protection of children should be against both. Their world needs neither influence. They should be allowed to evolve and unfurl from within. What they should be taught is man watching - the ability to detect our ability to mimick.
For in this, both causes are pure fantasy. They hold up a filter to the world, and what they cannot change by illusion they storm by force.
I do not defend the illusion of God outside, not the illusion of homosexuality inside. God is inside, Homosexuality is outside.
You want compassion, while the world kills children unabated. Their defender, Jesus of Nazereth, may meet you one day.
You see my sword.

Could anyone suggest an alternative to the Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket? I'm looking for something that packs as compactly and weighs no more, offers the same amount of insulation, but costs less.Thanks in advance.
If a small fits you (only one left)... then this one could work. http://secondascent.com/mens-clothing/jackets/insulated/outdoor-research-fraction-pullover.htmlLarge comes in at 13oz, so the small would probably be 10-12 oz range.Uses Primaloft Sport though, so very slightly less warm, but better when wet and greater durability.
Edited by LunchANDYnner on 05/10/2013 23:29:51 MDT.
Thanks, but I'm looking for a XXL and a L
Lands End sells a primaloft jacket very similar to the Patagonia Nano Puff. I just picked up a Nano Puff for myself on sale for $120 last month. My son really liked it and asked for one for himself, but because he loses jackets all the time, I looked around for an alternative.http://www.landsend.com/pp/mens-primaloft-packable-jacket~246232_59.html?sku_0=::BLAIt's very similar to mine. Annoyingly so since it cost $89 list. Lands End had a 40% off sale last month so I got his for $55 shipped.Join the Lands End mailing list and get additional discounts.
Likely imperceptibly less warm (hood will likely make it warmer), but a lot less weight (~6oz less) and money:http://www.backcountry.com/mountain-hardwear-thermostatic-insulated-hooded-jacket-mens
Joe,is the shell material durable or easy to tear?looks great except no hood but 100g of primaloft makes this a micropuff and without a hood!Must be hella warm.Special is still on til 5 13 with promo code.
Edited by rOg_w on 06/17/2013 20:17:53 MDT.
I picked up one of these last year, and really like it. Very warm and light. They tend to run a little small, in my experience.http://www.backcountry.com/stoic-hadron-down-anorak-mens
Seems well made but we haven't had it long. I expect it to hold up.
There's this, from LL Bean: (I have the pullover but there's a full-zip model too). It's great. http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/68427?feat=ascent%20packaway-SR0&page=ascent-packaway-pullover
Check out Montbell - they have a lot of insulation options as well. I have an Ex Light in XXL and love it.
The MEC Uplink Jacket is much, much cheaper and 3oz lighter, but it uses 40g/m2 insulation instead of 60g/m2 used in the Nano Puff Jacket. Still, worth a consideration. My understanding is when the hooded version is available (it currently is not), it comes as 60g/m2.
BTW, I tried a few other ones (synthetic insulation jackets), didn't like them. Nano puff I loved. Found it on sale at backcountry.com for $120.
Thanks to all. I didn't know there were so many alternatives. Looks like I have some shopping to do.I guess I should have asked how the Nano Puff type of insulation compares to down. Maybe that's another thread.
I got the same linked mountain hardwear off steep and cheap for low $. It's a nice jacket but the sleeves are oddly a little short. I have other MH gear and the same size fits better than this coat. I still wear it a lot and just deal with the short sleeves. It's only the sleeves... Everything else is perfect!
The armpits and chest are a little tight when used as a 'belay' jacket as well, over a softshell and a cap 2 baselayer. I sized up to a large (10.6oz), and it fits great - both sleeve length and chest room. It's a bit long now, but that's not a problem at all (almost preferrable).
Edited by lindahlb on 05/11/2013 18:39:34 MDT.
they have an LE store in Sears and i saw the jacket there today.It looks nice,well made and the shell seems a little more tough than the nano.Thankfully i had the chance to try it on instead of buying online and getting a surprise.They only had a Large and the thing was very huge.I am 5 11,175 lbs :the chest and shoulders were super baggy but the bottom was somewhat tapered.The neck area was massive and flopping about.The arm cuffs were also massive-they had the elastic thing but you had to have wrists as thick as a loaf of bread for them to work.I saw the size number as 42-44...not sure but i think that is an xl not large.The medium is stated as 38-40 which is normally too small for me.
The Lands end website has measurements for size if you have questions. My son is 5'7' slight frame and the medium fits nicely.
A windshirt and light fleece like 100w, R1, or Power Stretch make an excellent and IMHO, a superior alternative to a Nano Puff. The combination is warmer, more breathable and much more versatile.
Dale sez "A windshirt and light fleece like 100w, R1, or Power Stretch make an excellent and IMHO, a superior alternative to a Nano Puff. The combination is warmer, more breathable and much more versatile."This make no sense to me.If it is cold enough to hike in a fleece and/or windshirt I will certainly need the additional warmth of a puffy when I rest and/or at camp. If it is not cold enough to hike in a fleece and/or windshirt (but perhaps some warmth is needed for breaks and camp) then having a Nano Puff jacket/vest (or down shirt/vest) is a lighter/warmer/more compact solution than fleece.So for me, fleece is a Fall/Winter/Spring piece only.

It's worthwhile to read the actual judgements, too.

The Olympic Philately, Numismatic and memorabilia Commission is responsible for advising the IOC on the dissemination of the Olympic ideal through the worldwide promotion of stamps, coins and items commemorating the Olympic Games.
Collecting items commemorating the Olympic Games started with the first Games of the modern era in 1896. Olympic stamps, issued to balance the budget of the Organising Committee, were the first objects of Olympic collecting, and have been the passion of several generations of philatelists. Collectors of Olympic memorabilia soon joined stamp collectors and, in 1951, when Olympic coins were struck for the first time, coin enthusiasts also entered the world of Olympic collectors.
Olympic collectibles have always fascinated Olympic fans, parallel to the social-sport explosion of the Olympic Games. In the early days, Olympic collectibles were not really linked to the Movement itself. This changed rapidly and they became part of an Olympic culture, part of its history and its art. Olympic collectibles also contributed to promoting the Olympic ideal - both locally and internationally.

AKRON, Ohio - Plagued by foul trouble all game, the Miami University women's basketball team fought valiantly until the end, but a 13-2 run by Akron over the final 3:23 of the contest finished a 71-65 victory for the Zips Sunday afternoon. The RedHawks fall to 17-11 overall and 9-6 in the Mid-American Conference. Akron improves to 20-8 overall and 11-4 in the MAC.
Courtney Osborn had another strong game for the 'Hawks before she fouled out late, finishing with 23 points on 10-for-22 shooting. She moved in ninth place on the MAC all-time scoring list with 2,068 career points.
Kirsten Olowinski helped make up for the absence of Erica Almady (injury) with her 40th career double-double. She had 17 points and 16 rebounds, recording a majority of her points on rebound put backs.
The game was fast paced from the start as the teams traded baskets over the first four minutes. A three-pointer by Osborn tied the score at nine. Olowinski was found down low for a pair of layups that helped tie the score at 13 with 13:20 remaining in the half.
The Zips went on a 7-0 run to take a 20-13 lead. After a Kelsey Simon free throw stopped the bleeding, an Osborn three-point play cut the deficit to three. Akron would push the advantage to its biggest margin of 10 points at 35-25 at the 3:02 mark.
Five straight points from Olowinski started an 8-0 run that pulled the 'Hawks to within two. Akron answered with a layup from Rachel Tecca to send the Zips into the break in front, 37-33.
Miami was led by Osborn's 15 points in the first half, shooting 46.7 percent (14-for-30). The RedHawks held Akron 41.9 percent shooting (13-31) during the period.
A rebound put back from Olowinski and a jumper from Osborn to begin the second half tied the score at 37. The teams traded buckets until back-to-back jumpers from Haley and Hannah Robertson gave Miami its first lead of the contest at 43-41 with 15:37 to go. The 'Hawks held that advantage until a pair of Tecca free throws made it 51-49 Zips at the 10:18 mark.
A 6-0 run by the Red and White made it 55-51 with 6:07 to go. Miami had held Akron in check from behind the arc for most of the game, but a key three-pointer from Hanna Luburgh made it 57-56, Hannah and Haley Robertson hit back-to-back jumpers to give the 'Hawks their largest lead at 61-56. The teams followed by trading layups, but on the next possession, Osborn picked up her fifth foul with 3:23 to go.
Tecca hit a couple of free throws to cut the deficit to three immediately after Osborn exited. Akron scored the next seven points in a row, finished by another Luburgh three-pointer to make it 67-63 with 1:01 to go. Hannah McCue would answer with a pair of free throws to cut the lead to two points, but the Zips would keep Miami off the scoreboard the rest of the way to finish off the 71-65 win.
Miami shot 45.3 percent (29-for-64) for the game, while holding the Zips to 35.1 percent shooting (20-for-57). That included keeping Akron at 15.4 percent (4-for-26) from behind the arc. The difference came at the line, as 24 RedHawk fouls translated to 32 Zip free throw attempts. Akron made 27 from the charity stripe, while Miami finished only 6-for-11. Tecca finished with 32 points for the Zips, while the 'Hawks outrebounded Akron, 40-36, for the game.
With the loss, Miami will now host a first round MAC Tournament game on Saturday, March 9 at 2 p.m. Before that, the RedHawks will complete the regular season on Wednesday when they travel to Ohio for a 7 p.m. contest. Tim Bray will have the call and it can be heard on WMOH as well as Miami All-Access for those who have a subscription.

A disturbing new trend—"pet flipping"—has been getting a lot of attention this week.
Pet flipping involves a criminal picking up a pet, either by stealing the animal or claiming to be the pet parent of a missing pet, and then quickly selling the animal for a profit. Is your blood boiling yet? It gets worse!
According to Time, pet flipping is on the rise in cities including Kansas City, St. Louis and Indianapolis. The stolen dogs are often purebred and very valuable. In March, an Indianapolis man was arrested after a three-month investigation found he had been stealing dogs for years, mostly purebred German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Pit Bulls.
"Many of these pets are housed in puppy mill-like conditions until they can be flipped—no food or water, caged and sick," Dawn Contos, of Indianapolis Animal Care and Control, said in an interview following the arrest.
For tips on finding a lost pet, please visit our pet care section.
We'll be on Katie on Monday, July 22 to talk about pet flipping. Check your local listings and tune in!
I so disagree with Bridgett's (other concern), that of shelter dogs and keeping the puppy mills going. Perhaps you need to look at it this way, "Who loves and cares for the dogs the most? and "who does the work from their heart and not their bank account."
:"( my dog was pet flipped but luckily when i saw it on sale i asked one of my friends to go over there and then click the button on the walkie talky without saying anything as the arrest signal and together we got the police, arrested the man and i got my dear dear puppy back!
I don't think that Bridgette is completely off base here. She has some valid points. Dogs from shelters don't always get the best care either. In Chicago alone, shelters have been found to neglect dogs, not be willing to give dogs to loving homes for imaginary reasons, and to say that dogs have no issues when the next day at home they clearly do!!! I adopted a loving "boxer" who was "very calm and quiet". When we got home, I found out she was incredibly food aggressive. Luckily, I was in a position where I could spend the time with her to help her understand not to be. That's not always a reality. She is also terrified of men. Even now, 4 years later, she still has that problem.
I work with her every day, but I hate to see how terrified she is every time a man comes near her. Now that she has gained alot of the weight back from being starved, it is VERY clear that she is more pit bull than boxer. This causes it's own issues! I agree that puppy mills are cruel, but I also think that purebreed breeders have a place in our society and should be made to follow laws that prohibit ill treatment, just like everyone else.
Please don't slam people for having an opinion just because it differs from yours! We all have our own experiences and they are just as valid!
bridgette you are ignorant and should keep your uneducated comments to yourself. Do the world a favor and close down your pathetic pet store where you condone the malicious acts of puppy mills. Free the animals that you hold captive in your store and crawl under a rock. You will be far more useful there.
My question is: What kind of sissies are those German Shepherds, rottweilers and Pit Bulls that someone is able to steal them. I have a German Shepherd and the only way he is going with a stranger is if they shoot him first.
Pets, Dogs recover from abuse/shelters because good people LOVE them. You have to work with shelter dogs. You have to treat them like a baby, for months-reassurance, care, soft voice, laughter, kindness, playing. You should have seen our dog who had parvo and had been abandoned in a dog park, where dogs are now dumped. He was a mess. But he knew right away that we accepted him and were not going to abandon him. He learned that so quickly. We nursed him like a sick baby, for three months-day and night. You should have seen our German Shepherd that was beaten and ran away from this cruelty. My son found him. Make the commitment! You think it is easy? Typical American who does not get it-like those who abuse children. People who commit acts of cruelty should be slammed in jail, as felons. Go to a state that has high dog ownership, like Vermont. See how the Brits treat their dogs and protect their Island. Thank goodness that the US LIKES/:LOVES dogs-othewise this place would be a hellhole for all animals, as it is for those we eat all the time. Think about it. Abuse is abuse. People who abuse dogs have personality disorders and know what they are doing. They should be punished as they punish. ANd Pet flipping is real. I had a beautiful white Shepherd and I was happily walking in my NICE neighborhood. These four thugs drove by me and turned around, laughing and heading towards me. I should have let my GS go loose onto their jugular veins, but the thugs would have shot the dog. I turned up my neighbor's driveway and waited. The cowards drove off to harrass and steal someone else's dog. As I said, a personality disorder or bullying disorder that is learned at HOME and needs to be addressed and harnessed. No mercy on cruelty.
This is horrible. Missouri is one of the worst states I have learned about animal abuse, especially in the Sikeston and St. Louis areas. I know other states have problems with ignorant people thinking they can do what they want with a helpless animal, but it is still wrong. Hopefully, laws will change or be updated and their actions will be brought to justice accordingly. Thanks for the tips that I can share with others.
This "flipping" trend is s also happening with people who are posing as a rescue, taking dogs from shelters and CL ads, then turning around and selling them. They often say they are charging an adoption fee, but they do no vetting and no spay/neuter. No legitate rescue adopts out animals unvetted or not spayed/neutered. We have seen quite a few of these in Louisiana. It's extremely disturbing, especially to those of is who work our butts of doing legitimate rescue.

Sarah Murnaghan likely will die this summer without a lung transplant.
The 10-year-old from outside Philadelphia is in the end stages of cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that impedes your ability to breathe. If Sarah were two years older, she may have received new lungs already from an adult rather than a child donor, of whom there are far fewer.
Now, in the Murnaghan family's nationally publicized fight to save their daughter by having her added to an adult waitlist in addition to the pediatric list, another threat is emerging against an organ transplant system designed to prevent such perfect storms of medicine, media and politics.
I understand the Murnaghans' willingness to take every necessary action to save their daughter's life, and I feel for everyone involved. In 1990, I watched my brother John die from the ravages of cystic fibrosis. In 1996, I also watched my brother Bob benefit from a lung transplant in his own cystic fibrosis fight. Bob's transplant offered him five additional years to graduate from college, teach elementary school and enrich people's lives, including mine.
But as a historian who has studied lung transplantation, I don't think it's fair for those who want to save Sarah to characterize our existing national policy on organ transplants as arbitrary or senseless.
When Congress created the nation's organ transplantation system in 1984, it wanted unbiased, consistent policies. The nonprofit United Network for Organ Sharing was tasked with developing rules to prevent discrimination or preferential treatment because of money, political clout or the savvy use of media to whip up public support.
UNOS first allocated lungs primarily based on the length of time a candidate waited, as long as the donor organs matched the recipient's blood type and would fit the body.
Around 2000, the lung transplant community began reassessing its system. Too many people were dying on the waitlist, and people with certain diseases had a lower probability of receiving transplants. In addition, the federal government wanted UNOS to ensure policies were based on objective medical criteria.
The nonprofit's Lung Allocation Subcommittee examined statistics from thousands of previous transplants, and the system today gives priority to patients with the most urgent need and the greatest chance of survival post-transplant. The subcommittee worried about pediatric patients, for whom there was much less data. It put pediatric cases in a separate category because lung size matters and children have different post-transplant courses.
Since that time, the Lung Allocation Subcommittee has periodically reassessed the system and made minor changes. It also set up an appeal process. Sarah's appeal was apparently denied, for the Murnaghans recently turned for help from Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Sebelius acknowledged the agony of the situation but said it was not her place to unilaterally alter national protocols or make exceptions for an individual situation. Her request that UNOS again reassess its policies didn't stop some critics from dubbing Sebelius with nicknames like "Cruella" and "America's Death Czar."
The Murnaghans next asked a federal judge to block the lung transplant rules because they discriminate based on age. The judge ordered Sebelius to temporarily add Sarah to the adult waitlist for transplants, setting a dangerous precedent. The Murnaghans' legal success could be the first in a chain of lawsuits that quickly undermine our carefully constructed organ transplant system.
I'm not saying the public should have no voice in medical policies. Indeed, it's important that we call attention to problems. Those who craft policies should understand how their decisions impact people. And public goodwill is especially important for organ transplantation, since most transplanted organs are donated.
But if we're going to change our system, it's crucial to follow an objective process that analyzes as much data as possible. The process has to be done with the best interests of all patients in mind, not simply one child, and slowly enough to get it right, even though the need is urgent. We are witnessing a rush to action with consequences we may later regret.
The Lung Allocation Committee has surgeons on it, including pediatric surgeons who helped write the existing policy. They desperately want Sarah and the other 1,700 people on the waiting list to live, too. They are not cruel.
What's cruel is the disease that poisons Sarah's lungs.
What's tragic is the shortage of donated organs.
What's agonizing is the decision of how to allocate those scarce organs.
I don't know whether current policies should be adjusted, but we shouldn't smear compassionate individuals dealing with extraordinarily difficult situations.
If your heart goes out to Sarah and her family, rather than rail against the system, consider telling your loved ones that you want to be an organ donor.

perfect down to a T. you can pick any shade of color for whatever part of the magnet you want, same goes with font and size too! i love it! i received my magnet (50) the following week and with the discounts or coupons available at the time I paid 60 bucks! Beats spending 300 anytime!
I think that the save-the-dates are super cute and my fiance likes them bc they aren't too 'girly' The quality is fabulous and I've gotten tons of compliments from everyone who has seen them. Cannot wait to send them out to all our family and friends!
Great Price, Great Service
I ordered save the date magnents. Of course after I order them my in-laws add people to the list they want sent save the dates. I called customer service and explained that the order I had made was going to be 5 short of what I now need. The woman on the phone was very helpful and said she could get me another 25 (the smallest production size) for the same price per piece as my larger order. She then mentioned that in her experience the production run will often make more than requested, and they send the extras to the client. Since I only needed 5 more she suggested that I wait until my order arrives and then see if I still need more. If I did, she said she would still be able to provide the reduced price. I thanked her and when my order arrived sure enough there were 6 extra magnets! There weren't any extra envelopes, but those were easy enough to find.
Perfect Save The Dates
I love my Save the Dates so much, they truly are perfect.
It looks so much better in person than on computer.

The Beauty and Appeal of Ivory Objects from Around the World
There are many collectors and common people who appreciate ivory objects from around the world. The term 'Ivory' has always signified images of some beautiful objects related to fine craftsmanship, luxury, style, exclusivity and value. Most people do not realize, but the human race's connection with ivory objects is ancient.
During the Pleistocene era, the Cro-Magnons used ivory for carving. This was around 10,000 to 40,000 years ago. Around 2,000 B.C, ivory objects were also used by the Egyptians. Between the 12th – 14th centuries, ivory was used by the Europeans.
The Beauty of Ivory
Although ivory is often associated with standard elephant tusks, it is also derived from the teeth and tusks of many other animals, such as wild boar, hippopotamus, hornbill, warthog, sperm whale, walrus and narwhal.
In animals, ivory is the dentine equivalent of human teeth. Dentine is the calcified tissue just beneath the tooth enamel. In all the above mentioned animals, the dentine mass in large tusks and teeth is significantly more than what humans have.
Ivory is a carving material that is very hard. However, it is still lighter than stone or metal. Millions of people appreciate ivory objects from around the world. Throughout the history of human race, men have made sincere efforts to acquire ivory objects, either by decimating elephant populations or excavating mammoths.
In most cases, ivory is traded as religious or decorative objects, name seals and musical instruments. Tusk and tooth ivory offers excellent versatility for carving. Tusks can easily be retained in original shape. They can also be carved superficially. Ivory is often used in many different kinds of inlay work, carved boxes, figurines, and jewelry and serviette holders.
The list of ivory objects is endless. In 1920s, plastics arrived in the manufacturing industry. Moreover, there was increased awareness about cruelty toward animals associated with ivory harvesting. Currently, ivory objects are considered some of the best collectibles. It is worth mentioning that there are also some opportunists selling fakes.
How Can You Identify Authentic Ivory?
A cross section of elephant or mammoth ivory distinctly reveals cross hatched patterns. These patterns are called Schreger lines. However, even these patterns can be faked on plastic. The technique used to fake these patterns is called scrimshawing.
The best way to ensure the authenticity of the object is to heat a small pin, and poke the ivory object. In case you have genuine ivory, the pin leaves a tiny mark, and whiff of a burnt tooth. On the other hand, plastic gives off an acrid smell. You will also be able to notice a hole.
Different types of ivory objects have different characteristics. It is possible to identify a particular object's authenticity, but if you are dealing with multiple ivory objects, you should get them certified from a laboratory.
These days, some collectors even purchase ivory objects online. Most sellers give certificates of authenticity to give you some peace of mind. Before you buy an object, you should conduct an extensive research, and purchase from only a reputed dealer. This will help you invest in something authentic.
