Men's Basketball Picked to Finish Eighth in Preseason Coaches Poll
October 15, 2013
HIGH POINT, N.C. King University has been picked to finish first in the 2013-14 mens basketball preseason coaches poll, the league announced Tuesday morning. Pfeiffer has been picked to finish eighth as they feature one of the youngest rosters in the conference.
The Falcons roster features no seniors and just one junior in 6-2 guard Cade Isley, but eight players return from a season ago. Sophomore point guard A.J. Clark is the teams top returning scorer from a season as he averaged 8.7 points and dished out nearly four assists per game. Also returning is 6-5 sophomore Matt Ellwood who started 18 games in his rookie season and averaged 6.4 points and nearly three rebounds per game.
Head Coach Jeremy Currier and his staff brought in an impressive class of freshman to Misenheimer. Currier landed Mike Smith from Lexington, KY who scored 2,256 career points in high school and his 450 career steals placed him fourth in KHSAA history. Smith twice led the conference in scoring, highlighted by his 22.5 per game average as a sophomore. Smith joins Connor Dahn, Charlie Wagoner and Xavier Evans to form an impressive freshman class.
Currier, and his team, are excited for the season and the challenges ahead.
A few weeks ago, Coach (Bobby) Lutz came back to campus for our Alumni Basketball Game," said Currier. "While here, Coach Lutz took time to speak with our players and coaching staff about the importance of facing adversity head on, sticking together always, and constantly pushing forward. These words have resonated within our program, and our players are focused on improving every day. I believe in the young men on our team, and am excited about the work ethic and togetherness that this group has demonstrated in our early practice sessions.
Conference Carolinas was extremely competitive last season, and figures to be the same this year. Eight teams finished at least .500 in conference play and three teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
A year ago, King finished third in the league with a mark of 14-6, but they were only one game out of first place. King received four out of six first place votes as they lost only two players from last years squad.
Trailing King are Limestone and Barton who each made trips to the NCAA Tournament in 2012-13. Limestone went 21-9 overall while Barton went 23-8. Each team went 15-5 in Conference Carolinas play and split the regular-season title.
Mount Olive finished fourth in the poll with Erskine fifth followed by Belmont Abbey, North Greenville, Pfeiffer, and Lee-McRae College respectively rounding-out the poll standings.

There's a reason his option was not picked up. He's not really developing at a satisfactory rate.
I've been a fan of his since they got him. Watched him with his team in the Olympics and pulled for him to do well. Seemed like he put in the time this off season too. Was happy to see that. The problem is, it is not translating at all to me anymore. He has OK moments, but the bad clearly out weigh the rest. And obviously he is a young player, and is going to make mistakes. I can take that. What I cannot stand is the listless, no energy, out of synch, clueless, and really not dialed into the game aspects that I continually see from him now. Just too many poor facets of his game now to warrant that much playing time! Just looks like a guy who is still playing cautious and not winning on any area right now. Lance Thomas may not be as athletic as Aminu but at least he brings some intensity when he is in there. I think if Aminu brought Thomas's intensity, his game would improve a ton. Just won't apply himself beyond mediocre to poor. His chance to do damage in the league is right now and he is basically letting it slide, he won't get another chance like this from any other team.
The worst recently was him standing out of bounds before the ball was passed to him. He actually placed himself there!! So that when the ball was passed to him, the ref just looked and called him out!
There's a reason his option was not picked up. He's not really developing at a satisfactory rate.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
As others have noted, I have noticed his frustration during the games too. Now it looks like he is starting to loaf more on defense too! He is a young guy and should be playing with a ton of energy at least! He walks the court like he is about 36 years old or something. Time to sit and watch for a while. If the Spurs can assign Nando De Colo to the NBDL only a few days after almost beating the Heat, then Aminu can take a seat until he plugs himself back in!
He's just athletic. He just can jump and everything he does comes from that. Hopefully we can get a lock down defender like Safolosha to replace him, anyone has a list of good defending free-agents next year?
I understood the whole time why he didnt have his option picked up...this kid looks lost at all times its just ridiculous...c ya chief after this season
Great athlete. But doesn't have the requisite know how.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
No need to single out Aminu. The majority of the roster is mediocre. Rivers, Roberts, Mason, Henry, Miller, Smith are all mediocre. Some are just overachieving. There are no above average players on this team right now. Gordon needs to get back and Davis needs to get back to even out the talent.

mediocre is defined as ordinary; neither good or bad. Based on that, I have to disagree with the title of the thread. When compared to the other starting SF's in the league, Aminu is worse than mediocre. He is a poor player in that context. Aminu ranks 32nd amongst SF's in PER and has the highest turnover % amongst all small forwards who average 10+ minutes per game
I know he is our guy and we want him to do well. But he is still a bad starter and he has not really shown anything to make me believe he will ever get to mediocre. I would take mediocre
I don't think he meant mediocre based on starting threes. I think he means the whole league as a nba player.
This is why I wanna trade Vasques and our 2014 pick for a good center and draft Otto porter for our future SF
http://www.nba.com/hornets/blog/shoo...vs-bucks-12312One staple of the first two weeks of the regular season was Al-Farouq Aminu racing ahead of everyone on a fast break, then collecting a Greivis Vasquez alley oop for a dunk or easy layup. Those kinds of Aminu plays have dried up during this recent stretch, something Hornets head coach Monty Williams attributes to his team's drop-off in defensive performance. "A lot of what was happening with Chief was off of (defensive) stops," said Williams, calling Aminu by his nickname. "When you don't get stops, you can't get out in transition, run and attack the rim. We've given up so many three-point baskets, that it's hard to get out in transition. I think he does a decent job of trying (to attack the rim) in our halfcourt sets, but teams are playing him for that. So he's got to look to find holes in the defense and just play."
Put Aminu on the Spurs or Thunder and he will look like a much better player. Put him on lottery team and he will be frustrating.
I would hold on to Aminu if he comes cheap...which he should. As a backup SF he will do great once our team is competitive again.
There is no shame in being a backup. As long as we are paying him like a backup, I would welcome him back
Hugh Weber almost fell down. "Somebody in (wherever the hell they were) is crying over meeting Julian Wright?!! He doesn't even have a single fan in New Orleans!"
Just like EVERY player has a college or NBA mix online, I guess there's a fan out there for everybody.
The fact is that we have three (possibly four) above average NBA talents on our roster. Anthony Davis, Eric Gordon, Ryan Anderson and MAYBE Austin Rivers (when he develops more).
The rest are either average (Vasquez, Lopez, Smiht) or below average (everybody else).
If we could add a top-3 lottery talent in this year's draft, one nice mid-price free agent or trade, and get Davis and Gordon at 100% we'd suddenly have above average NBA talent. If Austin develops into a legit 6th man that's gravy. We could be a top 4 seed in the West within 2 years if everything pans out. If Gordon never gets right, if Austin busts our, or if this year's lottery pick doesn't hit we're in for a very long and very frustrating rebuild - even with AD23.
Ive said it before and ill say it again
Plus a lottery pick this year, plus a ton of cap space. That is an incredible start for a team. If we can plug in those 3 starters (harder said than done but we have the resources to do it) we will have an elite bench behind them!
If Aminu had nothing to do with this team and was the same player he is now, would he be on my free agent radar. I don't think he would be. This is the same logic that lead me to the conclusion that we shouldn't sign Gordon this summer. If he was on another team and had the same career, was coming off a 9 game season, would he have topped my free agent list? Would I have thought him max worthy? Of course not. But we get into this mentality that we don't want to lose people, that all things are somehow not equal.
I think if you can remove the fact that he is our guy from the equation and take a step back, it is pretty clear that there are far better options available than sticking with Aminu. Just the way I see it
I think regardless, Aminu is on this team, and there is no one on the FA market better than him. It makes little sense to start making trades when you have not even seen your full team on the court yet, and our franchise players is on the shelf. Aminu need to be coming off the bench right now, Miller should be starting and getting his experience.
Speaking of Aminu, I was playing with the trade machine earlier and thought this looked alright.
Atlanta sends: Devin Harris, 2nd rounder
Atlanta recieves: Al Farouq Aminu
Gives them a SF that can actually defend small forwards. Kyle Korver can move to the 2.
Cleveland sends: Omri Casspi, 2nd rounder
Cleveland recieves: Devin Harris
Gets a PG to start until Irving gets healthy, and good bench production when he gets back. Also, Harris is expiring so he don't hurt cap room.
NOLA sends: Al Farouq Aminu, 2nd rounder
NOLA recieves: Omri Casspi, Rodrigue Beaubois
We get a nice combo guard that can score and backup the one and two, and a sweet shooting SF. Both of which have fallen out of the rotation on their teams.
Dallas sends: Rodrigue Beaubois
Dallas recieves: 3 second rounders
Dallas gets cap room for the trade deadline which and a few trade bait picks for a guy that has fallen out of favor for Collison and Fisher.

A Lucasville woman is facing charges of theft of money from a fire department. Emily Campbell, 27, of Kennision Road, is charged with one count of felony theft, a felony of the fourth degree, after the chief of the Valley Township Fire Department told the Scioto County Sheriff's Office on March 26 that they were missing several thousand dollars from an account they had established.
A report was taken and given to a detective for a follow up. During the ongoing investigation detectives learned of a possible suspect, the treasurer of the account who was also a member of the fire department.
Scioto County Sheriff Marty V. Donini said the suspect was contacted and came into the office for an interview which resulted in charges being presented to the Scioto County grand jury. An indictment warrant was filed on Friday (April 11), which resulted in the suspect being arrested on Saturday (April 12).
The Valley Township fire department stated that all of the stolen money was from a fundraising account. They told detectives they had been working hard to raise money to build a new fire department and none of the money was from the tax levy. Detectives said no tax money was taken in the alleged theft.
Campbell is currently being held in the Scioto County Jail without bond. Anyone with any information concerning the theft is being requested to contact Detective Jodi Conkel at 351-1091. All calls will remain anonymous.
Frank Lewis can be reached at 740-353-3101, Ext. 252, or on Twitter @FrankLewispdt.

Happy Big Brother 12 Premiere Day!
It's that time of year that all of us Big Brother fanatics know and love! Tonight is the premiere of Big Brother 12!
I hope you stocked up on frozen pizzas for the family, finished spring cleaning, and bought the pets some extra food. Did you already warn your family and friends about not bothering you during the show? Do you have all of your favorite BB12 sites bookmarked and ready to go? Psst, I hope you've bookmarked Big Brother Gossip by the way.
Big Brother begins tonight on CBS at 8:00 PM ET/7:00 PM ET and then, after the show finishes airing on the west coast, the live feeds will start. If the first night of live feeds are like most previous seasons, they'll have booze and be acting a little crazy because they'll be aware that we are actually watching them.
Speaking of watching them, how we watch them will be very different this season. Instead of watching them using RealPlayer, we will be watching them from within a web browser. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari - pick your poison. I prefer Chrome myself (and if you use Chrome, you can pin the live feeds to the top of the screen in their own tab using this handy extension called DeskPins).
The website you'll be using to watch the live feeds themselves are: http://superpass.real.com/big-brother/live-feeds. So be sure to bookmark it! And yes, you'll still need to sign up through Real Networks to watch the feeds. Real Networks began broadcasting this season's FOTH (if you don't know what that is then Google it) last night and even broadcast a video chat with Chelsea and Missy. It was obvious they were still working on getting things straightened out then but they were working on things late into the night and I hope the kinks get taken care of before tonight.
I will be creating a Fafarazzi group so that all of us can compete against each other again this season. If you're new to Fafarazzi, you'll need to set up an account over there (it's free) and then pick your team here. For those of you interested in chatting during the show tonight, you can do so either in the built-in chat room here (at the bottom right of the page in the bar) or at the old Silly Hamsters chat room located right here. (I'll be in the old chat room tonight.)
Now that you're all set up all that's left to do is wait. Study up on who's who over at the CBS Big Brother site so that you're familiar with the fresh faces tonight. And why not take a dip in the pool here by posting a comment telling us how excited (or not?) you are about the new season and new hamsters? Tell everybody what you're looking forward to and share your thoughts with your fellow campers.

Welcome to the WebCenter 11g PS3 Tutorial.
In this series of tutorials you will learn all the inns and outs of WebCenter. You will start with nothing and end up with a nicely working portal.
Each part of the tutorial will tackle a specific part of the portal.
During the tutorial we will be building a portal for a virtual company that is specialized in providing education. In each part of the tutorial I will provide some requirements for the portal and how we will implement them. When the tutorial is fully finished, you will have a fully working portal with lots of nice features.
Because we are working on a "bigger picture" and not just create tutorial for each specific part, it allows me to combine different techniques in specific parts. This way, you will see how to combine different techniques because this can be quiet a hastle. Because of this, this tutorial is more a complete integration tutorial of different techniques instead of small tutorials combined to one.
After each part, I will add some additional exercies that you can take. I will of course provide the solution for it, but I will only provide it when i publish the next part of the tutorial.
The reason why i want to add exercises to this tutorial is that you probably will learn more from those exercises than from the "Hands-on" exercises of the tutorial. For the exercises, you really need to think :)
In order to build all the functionalities of this tutorial you will need to have following things installed:
Notice that the contents below is not final! I can always use your feedback. If you see some topics missing and you really want me to cover it, please leave a comment.
While i am writing the tutorial i definitly will come up to some new topics that I will add so check here once a while to see the changes.
I will do my best to release a part each week or each two weeks depending on my mood and other work. I will also keep the outline up to date so you can see which part i am working on and when it i will be released.
I'm not sure were to put these things but i will also add following topics:
Yannick, its excellent, I really like it. Could you pls also share its timeline?
Hey Yannick,
Great work, thanks for the information.
I'm most interested in the JSR 286 portlets and IPC - Sections 11 and 12. Any chance you could do those first? it's very hard to find a good tutorial how to do portlets and interportal communication anywhere.
Kindly add one more topic about how to make this portal multilingual?
once again, great post. It's the only hands on guide I was able to find on the internet.
I will follow your article to the end but before that I need to publish the website through a persistent webserver (e.g.: IIS) not JDeveloper so that the management and selected users can follow the progress.
Do you have a link that says how am I supposed to do that?
Great articles..learnt many things from these tutorials..appreciate your time in sharing these...
i am also very interested on content integration and especially chapter 11 and 12 (portlets).i have been playing around with creation of portlets but there are very few good articles/documentation on real world examples for developing portlets. May be user registration form will be good real world example..
looking forward to see those tutorials.
I also purchased your latest book which is the only book now on PS3....
thanks to oracle for releasing many minor versions and patches (126.96.36.199 to 22.214.171.124 with PS1, PS2, PS3 etc and 11.1.2) with new features on each versions --:)
Hi Yannick,
How about including Analytics taskflow consumption in custom portal. Things like login metrics, page metrics etc, on a custom portal seems to be challenge for few developers and not much documentation available with oracle.
please can u suggest me valid documents to install RCU,WEBlogic,webcetner and configuration of it
As if i want to install webcenter for the DATA CENTER LEVEL.....where in i need to install in oracle database server + webcenter server + weblogic server + RCU (As briefed in the Installing Webcenter 11p from scrach post) in the different hardware server system..then what are the possible ways to make webcenter up and absorbingly working fine.
Pl even provide us the steps which helps us in the practices.
And As is specified in one of the post in the "installing webcenter 11g from the scratch" by me ....i was not successful at this type of setup pls help me on this as well.
Thanks and regards,
Hi Yannick,
I have deployed a Custom taskflow as a shared library on to WC_Spaces managed server. I wanted to display this taskflow in one of the pages of the spaces existing. How to add the taskflow to the resource catalogue in WC Spaces.
Hi Yannick,
I am finding it hard to understand the need for custom webcenter application when we already have a preconfigured spaces application.
Can you advice when Should i be going for a spaces app and when should I be using a custom one.
Hi Yannick,
I have a question. Im building an extranet portal that requires a lot of administration. For example, we need an approval workflow (docs, pages, articles), customizing articles and pages at runtime by different users (not personal pages, just the extranet). Should I use custom webcenter app(portal framework) or webcenter spaces?. Thanks!
Thanks Yannick, need more articles like this. After 6 months working with webcenter people are amazed at how much yuo can deliver in such a short period. Just need to know where everything is and how to integrate it :-)
Leep it up - the stack has everything.
I appreciate the time you have taken to do this.
Excellent Tutorial. Thanks a lot.

Same-sex marriage ceremonies begin in Maryland
"As advocates for the truths we are compelled to uphold, we speak with equal intensity and urgency in opposition to your promoting a goal that so deeply conflicts with your faith, not to mention the best interests of our society," wrote O'Brien, who served as archbishop of the nation's first diocese from October 2007 to August 2011.
The governor was not persuaded. He held a news conference in July 2011 to announce that he would make same-sex marriage a priority in the 2012 legislative session. He wrote back to the archbishop that "when shortcomings in our laws bring about a result that is unjust, I have a public obligation to try to change that injustice."

ALL KIDS AGES 4-12 can run the bases after Sunday home games. Jr. Nationals MVP members will have access to an exclusive line that will go onto the field first.
Join the Jr. Nationals Kids Club Today
Dates Subject to change.
Kids Run the Bases is open to ALL KIDS AGES 4-12. An adult must accompany runners to the field. One adult per child on the field. Starting at first base, kids will be directed to run around the bases as the adults continue along the warning track and meet the runners near home plate.
Once the game has ended, it takes the grounds crew approximately 20 minutes to prepare the field for Kids Run the Bases.
Like the game of baseball itself, Kids Run the Bases operates without a time clock. However, during a typical event, the final runner generally crosses home plate about one hour after the end of the game.
Parents/guardians who are on the field with the children should meet them at home plate and will be directed towards the exit. Once fans exit the field they will be directed towards the Center Field Gate to exit the park.
We do not want your little ones trampled! Therefore, Kids Run the Bases is limited to kids ages 4-12.
Kids and parents/guardians can begin lining up at the end of the 7th inning, however fans that would like to stay and watch the entire game will still be able to line up once the game has ended. Participants must exit the ballpark through the Right Field Gate. The line forms outside of the park on the sidewalk along First St.

I don't usually make trades but here is one I like that I thought of.
Philly Trade
2014 (top 5 protected pick)
Eric Gordon
New Orleans Trade
New Orleans Receive
GSW 2013 (top 3 Protected first)
76ers 2014 (top 5 protected pick)
Golden State Trade
2013 (top 3 protected)
Why for 76ers: They are an athletic team with no outside shooters, Eric Gordon would instantly be their best player and give them an outside threat. There was talk of a draft day trade with GSW which has died now so building upon this
Why for Hornets: Its good value - we have the cap space to take on Biedrins for a couple of years, Barnes looks like a nice prospect and firsts next season and 2014 help the rebuild.
Why for Warriors: They have stated they want proven players to compete now, there was talk of Iggy for pick #7 before the draft this is just adding to that while taking Biedrins of their hands (with Curry likely to get a large deal next year, this could be very important)

Silvertips eye big game
Much at stake when Everett skates against Seattle on Saturday
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Everett Silvertips left wing Josh Winquist skates against the Seattle Thunderbirds back in a September game. On Saturday, Everett and Seattle square for the final time in the regular season with much riding on the outcome. "It's going to be a big two points, maybe decide who finishes seventh or eighth or who makes the playoffs," says Winquist, the Tipss co-leading scorer. "So it's a big game, probably the biggest of the year."
Everett and Seattle play the last of their 10 games Saturday in Kent, and for the second straight year that game could decide both teams' destination for the postseason.
"It's going to be a big two points, maybe decide who finishes seventh or eighth or who makes the playoffs," Tips co-leading scorer Joshua Winquist said. "So it's a big game, probably the biggest of the year."
Said Everett general manager Garry Davidson: "It's definitely a big one, but we don't want to get ahead of ourselves. The next game (tonight at Spokane) is really critical, too. We need to try and get in there and get two points. We have to be very careful we don't start looking ahead and giving up points prior to that because we're not focused on the task at hand."
But it's hard to ignore the looming matchup with Seattle as the Tips try to extend their streak of making the playoffs in every season of franchise history to 10. Ten days remain in the regular season, and once again Everett and Seattle find themselves going head-to-head, both on the ice and in the standings.
One year ago the stakes couldn't have been any higher in the final meeting between the Tips and T-birds. Everett came into its final game of the season needing to win at Seattle to earn the Western Conference's eighth and final playoff berth. The Tips came from behind four times before finally prevailing 6-4. Everett then had to sweat an extra day as the Tips didn't clinch their playoff spot until the T-birds fell 8-2 at Portland the following day.
"It was very exciting because both teams were fighting for their lives," Winquist said. "It probably was one of the most intense game of the year, and this one is probably going to be the most intense game of the year, too. Both teams will be going for it and going all out, so it will be a good game."
The circumstances are a little different this year. This time the last of the teams' 10 meetings comes on the penultimate weekend of the season instead of the final one. Also, the stakes may be changed. Although neither team has clinched a playoff berth, both are at least six points clear of ninth-place Prince George, meaning the result may do more to determine playoff seeding between seventh and eighth, rather than deciding who's in and who's out.
But that doesn't change the importance of the game as far as the players are concerned.
"I don't see this year being any different," Tips winger Ryan Harrison said. "Both of us want seventh place. That means as much to us as securing a playoff spot meant last year. Everyone's going to put all their cards on the table and it's going to be a hell of a game."
Heading into the weekend, Seattle has a slight advantage. The T-birds currently occupy seventh place with 54 points. Everett is two points back in eighth, while Prince George has 46 points. Everett and Seattle both have five games remaining, Prince George has seven.
While Everett plays at Spokane tonight, Seattle and Prince George play one another in Kent in another contest that has major playoff-race implications.
Seattle and Prince George both scored important wins earlier this week. Seattle won 4-2 at Spokane on Wednesday and Prince George prevailed 3-0 against Tri-City at home on Tuesday. Therefore, there's a little added impetus on the Tips to keep pace.
"When you see those teams winning, it makes you realize that everyone wants it right now," Harrison said. "So we have to want it, too, and we have to get results.
"Last year (against Seattle) was real intense," Harrison added. "Everyone was ready to go, the crowd was really into it, so it was a lot of fun to play in. This year It depends on how the goalies play, but I'm sure there's going to be lots of chances, lots of hits, just a classic Everett-Seattle game."
Slap shots
Everett could be without center Manraj Hayer this weekend. Hayer, tied for third on the team in scoring with 37 points in 57 games, sat out Tuesday's 6-3 loss at Portland because of illness and remains questionable for this weekend's games. Tonight's game at Spokane is being televised live by ROOT. The game begins at 7:05 p.m. It is Everett's second televised game this season.

CJ van der Linde says they have to make sharp adaptations to new rules or risk giving an edge to their opponents.
The International Rugby Board earlier this year introduced a series of law adjustments which the northern hemisphere has played under since the start of their season. They include: a five second time limit on the ball being played once it is made available at the back of a ruck, a time limit on when conversion kicks must be completed, the positioning of a quick throw-in, expanding the short-arm penalty options for teams benefiting from a knock-on or throw forward into touch, teams awarded a penalty or free kick at a lineout may choose another lineout without first having to kick for touch and a new scrum engagement call which will see referees call "crouch, touch, set".
It is the latter that will test the Springboks most, given that they have just one dedicated scrummaging session this week in preparation for their Test against Ireland in Dublin on Saturday. Veteran prop Van der Linde said they must derive maximum value from that.
'We'll have to make that adjustment very quickly,' he said. 'They've been playing under those rules for some time. We have a scrumming session on Tuesday [to work things out] and we'll have to use that well. It's more of a mental switch to get used to the new sequence. Definitely a more mental adjustment than a technical one.'
There is also the introduction of an additional prop on the bench, something Van der Linde welcomed and said smart coaches could exploit to their team's advantage.
'It brings a new dimension to the game and eliminates the unconstested scrums,' he said. 'There are tactical benefits as well, with a tighthead now being able to play for longer, perhaps 60 minutes, and then be replaced for the final 20 [with a fresh specialist]. So there's no room for tactical maneuvering.'
Van der Linde described Ireland as a team that has evolved for the better recently, pointing to Leinster's success and their feeding of the national team with high quality players as being central to that. He also cited the 'excellent' contribution of former World Cup winning Springbok fowards coach Gert Smal.
Having spent a couple of seasons at Leinster, Van der Linde said he would make time to catch up with former team-mates, including Jamie Heaslip, Jonathan Sexton and Leo Cullen, but stressed his focus was contributing to a successful tour.
'We aim to win all three Tests,' he said. 'If we don't start well it doesn't bode well for the rest of the tour. There's big pressure to win [for that reason] and we have to hit the ground running.'

Why Get Tested?
To detect a KRAS gene mutation in tumor tissue in order to guide cancer therapy and to evaluate prognosis
When to Get Tested?
When you have colon cancer that has spread (metastatic) or non-small cell lung cancer and your health practitioner is considering an anti-EGFR drug therapy
Sample Required?
A sample of tumor tissue
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test detects specific mutations in the KRAS gene in the DNA of cancer cells and tissue. The presence of these mutations may indicate that certain drugs will not be effective in treating the cancer.
KRAS is a short name for the gene v-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog. It is one of a group of genes involved in a pathway called the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway. This complex signaling pathway involves numerous components that relay signals from outside of the cell to within the cell to help regulate cell growth, division, survival and death.
In many normal cells, binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to its receptor (EGFR) on the surface of the cell is an important signal to cell growth and division. Other signals in the pathway involve a class of proteins called tyrosine kinase (TK) enzymes and a protein produced by the KRAS gene. Normally, the components of the pathway interact in the regulation of cell growth and division and do not individually stimulate cell proliferation.
However, in some cancers, EGFR becomes active even in the absence of EGF, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and division. Drugs that inhibit EGFR or tyrosine kinase enzymes are often helpful for treating such cancers. Some of these cancers, though, have a mutation in the KRAS gene that produces an abnormal K-Ras protein. The abnormal protein is always active and can stimulate cell growth even in the absence of signals from EGFR and TK. In such cancers, drugs that inhibit EGFR or TK will not be effective.
KRAS mutations are found in many different types of cancers but have been most extensively studied in colon cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Approximately 40% of colon cancers and 20% of lung cancers will have KRAS mutations.
There are several different methods of testing for KRAS mutations, but all of them involve evaluating the KRAS gene in tumor tissue.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A tumor tissue sample is obtained through a biopsy procedure or sometimes collected during a surgery. The tumor tissue is typically evaluated by a pathologist prior to testing.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Anna literally vanishes from the scene when she leaves the yacht to explore the island on foot. The shock of her disappearance and the lack of any sign of her whereabouts shatter the complacency of her family and friends. Only Sandro and Claudia make real efforts to find the slightest trace of Anna. But the void revealed in the aftermath haunts them at every turn, stalking their growing mutual affection.
L'Avventura received a special prize at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival for "creating a new film language". In presenting the teeming uncertainty of modern life without offering the slightest recourse of a motive or explanation, Michelangelo Antonioni provoked audiences to look at films in a new way. A regular fixture on myriad lists of thegreatest films made, L'Avventura remains a landmark of film history.
L'Avventura has still held up remarkably well, perhaps because the creepiness of existence remains topical in these apathetic times -- Filmcritic.com

SINGING schoolchildren joined thousands of flag-waving revellers as the Olympic Torch's Cumbrian odyssey reached Ambleside.
Crowds began gathering from mid-afternoon as anticipation mounted ahead of the historic moment.
Greeted by cheers and applause, torch bearer Tom Wright, 15, of St Bees, passed the Olympic flame onto Windermere's Stephanie Booth as it reached Borrans Park at around 6.20pm.
The beaming 14-year-old Lakes School pupil, nominated by her head teacher, told the Gazette it was the 'best moment' of her life.
"I was quite nervous but very excited," she said.
"Everyone was really friendly and happy.
"It's been the best experience."
Sports-mad Stephanie is a keen swimmer and participant of triathlon and cross-country events and will compete alongside her sister in this weekend's Great North Swim.
Her proud mother Christine said: "I didn't sleep last night, I was so excited for her.
"I'm just really unbelieveably proud of her.
"The last week has been a little bit overwhelming.
"She was determined to be involved in the Olympics and this could be the closest she gets."
Spectators Gordon Allatt and Norma Pearson made the trip from Northampton especially to see the torch.
And Mr Allatt was thrilled when he got to touch it.
"I'll never wash this hand again," said an emotional Mr Allatt.
"The Olympics is one of those things that brings the country together and makes us feel good."
Mrs Pearson added: "I think it's absolutely great and I shall be watching the Games every day while they're on."
Children from Ambleside, Hawkshead, Langdale and Coniston primary schools performed a song especially-assembled for the occasion as the torch made its way to Waterhead to board the Bowness-bound vessel, the Tern.
It was helped on its way by a flotilla, christened Brathay's 'whalers', as other boats sounded their horns in tribute.
Marj Waddecar, of Ambleside, who was looking on, said: "I was born in the year Britain last held the Olympics so I thought I ought to come down and see the torch this time.
"It's good we have got the Olympics and let's just hope there's a bit of a spin-off for tourism in areas like this."
Visitor Julianne Harlow, of Brighton, added: "It's a really big event that we won't be seeing in this country again and, rightly or wrongly, a lot of money has been invested in it."
People were invited to write goodwill messages about the Games for inclusion in an eye-catching yellow 'balloon tree'.
The Kendal Windows on Art project was led by Pam Williamson, who said: "I have worked with older people, schoolchildren and members of the public, asking them to send their messages to welcome the torch from Ambleside to London and the rest of the world."
The balloons were given to children after the torch passed through and the messages will now go on display at Ambleside Library before featuring in a special opening ceremony at this year's Ambleside Sports.
The Borrans Park festivities were organised in part by Barry Porter, of Rufty Tufty's, Ambleside.
Mr Porter said: "I thought it would be a really positive thing for Ambleside - it really profiles the area.
"Anything that builds up Ambleside is great for local businesses and local people. The kids are really enjoying it."
An Olympic Torch relay celebration, titled On the Night Shift, presented by Kendal Arts International, takes place on The Glebe, Bowness, tonight.
Next generation of reactors will be built at Sellafield and Heysham, the Government announced today as it pushes ahead with plans for new nuclear power plants.
In the first major announcement on the future of nuclear in the UK since the Fukushima disaster in Japan, the Government outlined the locations deemed suitable for new power stations by 2025, all of which are adjacent to existing nuclear sites.
The eight sites are: Bradwell, Essex; Hartlepool; Heysham, Lancashire; Hinkley Point, Somerset; Oldbury, South Gloucestershire; Sellafield, Cumbria; Sizewell, Suffolk; and Wylfa, Anglesey.
The plans for new nuclear power plants are part of a series of national policy statements on energy which were published today, following a public consultation.
They will be debated and voted on in Parliament, but ministers are hopeful that, with a pro-nuclear majority in the Commons, they will win the argument.
Nuclear power is one of the issues that divided Conservatives and Liberal Democrats when they entered Government together, with the coalition deal allowing a Lib Dem spokesman to speak out against any new nuclear plants, while Lib Dem MPs could abstain on the issue.
Lib Dem Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has since given his backing to new reactors, insisting they would not be subsidised by the taxpayer - although MPs have warned that reform of the electricity market could favour nuclear power and amount to a hidden subsidy.
The Government is planning the new suite of reactors to maintain electricity supplies and cut greenhouse gas emissions as an old generation of power stations is shut down.
The future of nuclear as a power source for countries around the world was called into question earlier this year after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami rocked the reactors at Fukushima, leaving radioactivity leaking from the plant.
Mr Huhne signalled last month that plans for new reactors in the UK were on track after an initial report on Fukushima from nuclear chief inspector Mike Weightman ruled out the need to curtail the operation of nuclear power stations in the UK in light of the situation in Japan.
The energy policy statements aim to provide a framework for making planning decisions so projects do not face "unnecessary hold-ups".
They set out the need for billions of pounds of investment in new energy sources, including 33 gigawatts of renewable power - the equivalent of thousands of offshore wind turbines - to meet the UK's future needs.
Energy minister Charles Hendry said: "Around a quarter of the UK's generating capacity is due to close by the end of this decade. We need to replace this with secure, low carbon, affordable energy.
"This will require over £100 billion worth of investment in electricity generation alone.
"This means twice as much investment in energy infrastructure in this decade as was achieved in the last decade.
"Industry needs as much certainty as possible to make such big investments.
"These plans set out our energy need to help guide the planning process, so that if acceptable proposals come forward in appropriate places, they will not face unnecessary hold-ups."
He said the coalition Government was determined to make the UK attractive to investors to ensure that the country had secure, affordable, low-carbon energy.

South Sudan to mobilize $500 billion for future infrastructure development
The soon to be independent oil rich state of South Sudan will mobilize 500 billion dollars worth of investment for infrastructure development in the next five years, says the region's Vice President, Riek Machar Teny.
South Sudan is currently one of the poorest countries in the world but potentially rich with promising resources such as agriculture and oil, among others. Currently its yearly overall budget is less than 1.5 billion dollars of which 98% comes from its share of 50% from oil revenues.
The new independent state will need hundreds of billions of dollars of investment in order to connect its territory, which is the size of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania combined with expensive roads and bridges. The region will also build refineries and pipelines to transport its crude oil to the international market.
The South also embarks on introducing real estates for decent housing through direct foreign investment in the ten states as well as build hydro electric dam to light the whole region, among many more expensive projects of service delivery to the people.
In a press briefing on Wednesday shortly after his arrival to Juba from his three weeks visit to the United States of America during which he mobilized for support for the new independent state, Machar said he participated in the UN's special session of Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) on South Sudan in New York.
"The main objective in the ECOSOC is to mobilize the world to support South Sudan and Sudan in different areas such as infrastructures, agriculture, rule of law and good governance and etc," he stated in a one page press briefing document seen by the Sudan Tribune.
Machar said after independence the focus will shift to attracting investments in the new nation. He said he met with a number of key investors during his visit in the US who expressed interest to invest in the region after independence.
"With these visits and many more to come, the focus will be to attract investors to come and invest in South Sudan and we want to build South Sudan to be the best in the region and the world," he said.
The Vice President expressed optimism that South Sudan would become the "hub" of Africa, adding the nation is also geographically the center of the continent. "70 kilometers away from Juba in Tali, Central Equatoria, this is where the center of Africa is. We will build an airport in South Sudan whereSouth Sudan can be the hub of the African Countries and the world just like Dubai and Singapore."
"We will raise 500 billion dollars from private investments in the next 5 years to build this nation to catch up with the rest of the world in infrastructure development. There is no reason why we should not be the best of the best in the region and the world. We have resources and we will utilize the resources to benefit our nation," he further assured.
He described his visit to the US as success during which he held several meetings with officials of the US administration, Congress and the United Nations on issues pertaining to the emerging new nation, the Abyei crisis and the fighting in Nuba Mountains in addition to Blue Nile.
"The conclusion of my visit to USA was a success. Both the Congressional and U.S Government officials expressed their support to the new state and to make this state viable and support it in all areas."
He said he also discussed with the US Congress the need to lift sanctions imposed on Khartoum, particularly on oil sector, arguing that the continuity of the sanctions will not only harm North Sudanbut also affect the new state of South Sudan which depends on oil facilities from the North such as the pipelines and refineries as well as the export terminal.
While in New York I had meetings with UN SG Ban Ki Moon, UN President of the General Assembly Amb. Joseph Deiss, UNSC Permanent members (USA, U.K. France, China and Russia), the President of the UNSC and some UNSC non-permanent members," he added.
He further added that he also met with senior officials of the United Arab Emirates in Dubai and agreed that a conference for South Sudan on trade and investment will be conducted in October this year in Dubai. Machar who described Dubai as "an outreach" to other Arab nations added that the conference would also be sponsored by the United Arab Emirates.
"This will be an opportunity for all the Gulf and Arab states to come together and support the new state economically," he said.
The Vice President further revealed that South Sudan will open an embassy in Dubai soon after independence to deal with issues on trade and investment.

Watch Live: Aurora Movie Theater Shooting Trial
People file past the U.S. flag and a portrait of President Obama on their way to attend a naturalization ceremony in Irving, Texas, Thursday, July 3, 2014. The Immigration and Naturalization Service is swearing in over 9,000 new citizens over the Fourth of July holiday week in ceremonies held around the country.
They came from Germany and Jamaica, Guatemala and Ghana. Twenty-five members of the armed forces and their spouses — representing 15 countries — were sworn in as the newest U.S. citizens during a Fourth of July naturalization ceremony at the White House. Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, himself an immigrant from Cuba, delivered the oath of allegiance as President Barack Obama looked on.

Obama reminded the newest Americans that they are what the nation was built on 238 years ago, and praised them for choosing to fight for their adopted homeland. "Many of you did something extraordinary. You signed up to serve in the United States military. You answered that call," Obama said. The celebration comes as the politically divisive immigration issue has drawn renewed attention after tens of thousands of unaccompanied children from Central America have crossed into the U.S. from Mexico. Obama announced earlier this week that, as a result of lawmakers' inaction, he will pursue non-legislative ways that he can adjust U.S. immigration policy without waiting for Congress to act.
