Kenan Sipahi sank a three-pointer on the buzzer as Tofas snatched a 93-90 win over Khimik in their EuroChallenge Group K opener.
Tofas had let slip a 15-point first-half lead as Khimik came back to lead late in the fourth quarter before Sipahi struck.
Tofas edged the early going and began to pull clear early in the second quarter, with an 11-2 run putting them up 38-23 on Inanc Koc's free throw.
Khimik quickly got the deficit back down to 10 but could not crack single figures until Suad Sehovic opened the third quarter with a three-pointer that made it 51-44.
They continued to chip away at the lead throughout the third quarter without managing to draw level, but then opened the fourth period with a jump shot from Stanislav Zavadskyi and a three from Sehovic that made it 71-70.
That set the tone for a tense final period as the lead swung this way and that. Khimik held a one-point lead going into the last 60 seconds before Koc hit a three to put Tofas up 90-88 with 19 seconds left.
Vernon Goodridge replied with a lay-up, but after Sipahi's shot dropped, there was no time for a Khimik response.
Steven Burtt led Tofas with 20 points while Can Altintig added 15 and Chinemelu Elonu 13.
Sehovic had 21 points for Khimik with nine rebounds, making 5-of-7 from three-point range, while Willie Deane had 19, Devoe Joseph 17 and Goodridge 13.
Khimik head coach Zoran Martic:"Especially in the first quarter we gave easy points to Tofas. Fortune was not on our side. We wanted to win, but lost on a last-second shot. I don't think we deserved bad luck like this, but I congratulate Tofas."
Khimik player Suad Sehovic:"First of all congratulations to Tofas. They played good defence in the last minute. We are sorry to have lost the game with the last three-point shot."
Tofas head coach Ahmet Caki:"This year all games will be exciting. We couldn't control the game when we were up; we lost our rhythm of the first half in the second half. We wanted to win by 10 points difference, but we couldn't."
Tofas player Kenan Sipahi:"All teams in the Last 16 are good teams. We showed our team quality; our opponents should respect us. We have to win our home games, and now focus on the next game against Norrköping."

CHARLOTTE – You hear Charlotte never led in their 105-92 home loss to the defending NBA champion Miami Heat Wednesday night and you figure the Bobcats didn't put up much of a fight.
And you would be wrong.
While the Bobcats lost their 16th straight game, they gave Miami (20-6) all it wanted and then some in front of a sellout crowd of 19,602 at Time Warner Cable Arena.
"It's a long season still," said Bobcats guard Kemba Walker, who had 27 points, six rebounds and six assists. "We're still getting better. We're a young team that's learning. I know we're in a losing streak, but at the same time we're trying to stay positive. And I think good things will happen for us in the future."
Charlotte (7-21) – and Walker in particular – drew high praise from Miami coach Erik Spoelstra, whose team was coming off a 103-97 Christmas Day victory over Oklahoma City in a rematch of last summer's NBA finals.
"You have to give them credit," Spoelstra said of the Bobcats. "They compete and keep coming at you. They're coached well with a young team and a future. When Walker's hitting 3s like that, he's a tough cover. He's an interesting player. He really is. He's built with such a low center of gravity and a great handle and great change of direction and deceptiveness. He's got a great future ahead of him. He plays 40-plus minutes and he never seems tired."
Charlotte trailed by 19 points at 52-33 and 54-35 late in the first half before getting as close at two at 84-82 with 7:16 to play.
The Bobcats even had a possession with the chance to tie or take the lead seconds later, but Gerald Henderson's 18-footer from right baseline was short with 6:46 to play – and the Heat tore off on a back-breaking 11-3 surge that pushed the lead back to 10.
"We played them tough," said Henderson, who had 14 points and seven rebounds. "(Dwyane) Wade and LeBron (James) played like how they play. But we were right there. It was a one possession game with 6-7 minutes to go. We just couldn't come up with the plays. It's tough because you fight so hard and then at the end of the game, that's when they're at their best."
Wade finished with a game-high 29 points to go with nine rebounds and five assists. And James added 27 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists.
For Charlotte, Hakim Warrick made his first start an impressive one with 18 points and nine rebounds. Ramon Sessions added 19 points off the bench.
Notes: Replays clearly showed Wade kneeing Sessions in the groin area with 8:17 left in the game when Sessions was defending Wade near midcourt. Sessions said afterward he was surprised no foul was whistled on Wade and felt the Miami All-Star guard did so purposely….
No word on the severity of Byron Mullens' sprained left ankle. Mullens, injured in last Saturday's finale of the four-game West Coast road trip in Denver, was wearing a boot on his ankle and needed crutches to leave TWC Arena….
Also out for the Bobcats was Ben Gordon (right knee soreness) for the third straight game and Tyrus Thomas (left calf strain) for the 20th straight game….
For Miami, Ray Allen was inactive due to a sore shoulder he suffered in a collision with Oklahoma City's Kendrick Perkins in Wednesday's 103-97 Heat victory….
Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap said Miami Heat All-Star LeBron James' biggest talents were his basketball IQ, his humility and his physical power. But Dunlap said he was happy that the basketball IQ is what appears to be on most people's minds these days: "People knew it but now it's the first thing people talk about."…
Charlotte visits Brooklyn on Friday before returning home for their lone meeting with the New Orleans Hornets on Saturday at 7. With New Orleans owner Tom Benson proposed a team name change to the Pelicans, could it be the final time a team in Charlotte is named the Hornets?

I'm still waiting till a player I love has a Mardi Gras jersey. That will be my first jersey buy ever.
I am dying to buy some new gear and maybe even a Davis jersey. However, I can't pull the plug knowing a rebrand is coming. Anyone else the same way??
I'm still waiting till a player I love has a Mardi Gras jersey. That will be my first jersey buy ever.
I will probably get a Hornets Davis jersey, if only because in 20 years it'll be a really awesome retro jersey.
Buy stuff now, its retro later. No harm to it.
Yeah, I've always liked retro jerseys, so I ordered a Davis one so that it'll be a really nice thing to own when I'm older.
i have a signed cp3 jersey so should i keep it and sell it later or sell it now
Stay Classy, New Orleans Pelicans
^ I say keep it. He was a special player and did great things for this team. Will bring back great memories.
With purple and pinstripes from days gone by, I trumpet Hugo's name to the NOLA sky. When rebranders and posers abuse their might, beware my power, TEAL LANTERN'S LIGHT!
Charlotte Slobcats All-Time Records (11 Total Seasons)-- 50-win seasons:0, losing seasons:9, playoff series wins:0, division titles: 0, identity theft: 1.
I'm waiting for the rebrand......and me and the wife expecting quintuplets backs the not spending thing up just a bit......
Well when the re-brand does occur im sure hornets gear will be extremely sort after down the track. I was lucky enough for a friend to pick up an authentic Anthony Davis jersey from the nba store in New York recently. Going to cherish that jersey til the day I die. Can never have enough jersey's personally and with the re-brand it only increases their value. I still remember buying a Kevin Durant rookie year Seattle jersey just after they were relocated to OKC. Funnily enough they were selling all his jersey's for half price because the team moved. I always thought that was a bit stupid because im sure some time in the future that jersey will be worth a bit of cash.
I'm still thinking about getting a Dais jersey, after the re-brand there will be probably only 1 year of Davis' career where he was a 'hornet'. So it would kind of be a throwback jersey or something. Representing Davis' rookie year. For anyone else, I'm waiting.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
I'll prolly buy one jersey (AD).. maybe 2 (Rivers) this year but yeah once the rebrand is done I'll load up on the new stuff.
I can see buying it because it'll be cool later, but I won't be. I'm too excited for the rebrand stuff. Gonna go crazy on Pelican gear.
I'll wait until the Davis jerseys go on clearance. If they don't, or they sell out of him before the start offloading stuff, then oh well.
I'm definitely planning on getting a Davis mardi gras jersey... just in case those aren't brought back somehow under the new scheme. But yea, I'm holding off from other merch until the rebrand too.
Gotta say I walked through the black and gold shop on Friday and they have zero new merch on the shelves. I asked the clerk and she said it was odd. Did someone tip them off? Is it happening soon!?
As someone who works in IT, I will be waiting for the new stuff. I like new things...
Ill probably buy a jersey or two after the rebrand, if the stuff is cheap enough. They should be on sale.

Comments about Dimension Double Groove Road Bar:
I replaced the 44cm bars that came with the bike with 40cm. What was good is that I got to keep it original, the bars made by Dimension gave us good service and now that our grandson is riding this bike (and needed narrower bars) I feel confident in the quality of the product and happy to find the same model.

Comments about Dimension Double Groove Road Bar:
when i recived the product i was excited to give my 80's univega a more modern look. these bars look good! dont get me wrong. i think the main downfall is that they seem to sorta flex/bend, as in they aren't very studry. also when i was putting them on, i have an old school stem (C shape and uses one bolt to close it around the bars like a fist.) which means i had to slide the bars through that little hole, but since the bars have kinks I was sure it would not fit. but i was able to grab a screwdriver and wedge it open more, but I did end up scratching the bars pretty badly...they are comfortable!!! love the hand kinks

Comments about Dimension Double Groove Road Bar:
Bought these to update an old road bike. Ordered these because of the price and because I needed 25.4 clamp size. After a full season of use, I can say they are a good value and comfortable.
Comments about Dimension Double Groove Road Bar:
Great that these are still stocked, as they help keep those glorious older bikes on the road. I needed a 25.4mm clamp/44 cm width bar for my dear-old LeTour and this is the perfect solution. I'd rather it not have cable grooves (I kept the non-aero brake hoods and quill stem shifters for the cool "classic" look), but thats a minor compromise to finding a bar that fits older bikes. Nice that they come in silver or black, too.

Comments about Wahoo Fitness Wahoo Auxiliary Battery Case:
I don't use this very often—only if I am riding for over a few hours and need to be able to see where I am going on a map. Otherwise I use the Wahoo case without the extra battery, or often just leave my iPhone in a pocket and use a small secondary computer to keep track of speed, cadence, etc. The product is good for what it is, and I think the best of the alternatives right now. That said, the overall package of iphone+case+extra battery is pretty heavy and bulky. Hopefully there will be more efficient alternatives at some point in the future, maybe by the same company.

International Research Network on Multiculturalism
Welcome to the International Research Network on MulticulturalismThe International Research Network on Multiculturalism is an academic forum aimed at promoting and disseminating interdisciplinary research on the multifaceted multicultural research agenda. It is hosted by Deakin University's Centre for Citizenship and Globalisation and comprised of scholars, state and community actors specialising in the fields of multiculturalism, intercultural and interreligious relations across diverse disciplines and geographical regions.
About the Network
The IRNM was founded in 2012, following the 3rd International Symposium on Multiculturalism: Reclaiming Multiculturalism, held by the Centre for Citizenship and Globalisation at Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia. The 2nd International Symposium on Multiculturalism: Reframing Multiculturalism for the 21st Century's Realities, was held in at the University of Ottawa, Canada in 2011 and the 1st International Symposium on Multiculturalism: Comparative Multiculturalism from Transnational and Global Perspectives was also held at Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia, in 2010.
The IRNM builds on the discussions of these symposia and will continue to debate multicultural, intercultural and interreligious policies, practices, theories, histories and controversies. It provides an online depository of research pertaining to multiculturalism and links to participants' research profiles, local and international events and new publications. It also hosts an elist disseminating this information to its members.
IRNM membership is free and by invitation or application only. We welcome new applications from established scholars, early career and higher degree researchers who are working on multiculturalism. Please contact the network for more information about membership.

Did Japanese radiation make U.S. sailors sick?
USS Ronald Reagan crew members describe illness; medical experts are skeptical
Less than 150 of 17,000 workers at the Fukushima plant showed slightly elevated levels of radiation, according to figures from cancer specialist Dr. John Boice, a member of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements. The doses detected might increase their lifetime risk of cancer by 2 percent, he said at the Press Club conference.
On the Reagan, the crew was ordered to close hatches and vents to prevent outside air from entering. They were also told not to drink the ship's potable water.
The environmental lawyer representing the Reagan sailors said their radiation exposure exceeded the acceptable level, but he declined to place a figure on how much he suspects they received.
Attorney Paul Garner said he is awaiting disclosure from the Pentagon, the Navy and Japan about what their instruments showed. The Japanese Fukushima Daiichi power plant, on the coast 150 miles northeast of Tokyo, is owned by Tokyo Electric Power Co., or Tepco.
"We know it was higher levels than have been initially reported by the Tepco people as being low dose," Garner said. "It's much worse than those who got radiation poisoning in Chernobyl and survived for a few years."
The U.S. Defense Department has created a registry for the 70,000 Pentagon-affiliated people who were in Japan or off the coast during the first three months of the disaster. A website for this registry said that it would provide radiation exposure estimates for all 70,000 by the end of 2012.
However, figures for U.S. Navy ships serving off the coast of Japan — including the Reagan, and the San Diego-based warships Preble and Chancellorsville, plus the carrier George Washington and amphibious ship Essex, among several other American military vessels — are not yet available on the website.
The Navy's largest ship base in Japan — in Yokosuka, about 185 miles southwest of the nuclear plant — measured levels that are minimal and well below dangerous, according to Pentagon figures.
Helicopters from the Reagan flew search and rescue missions over Japan in the days following the 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. In April 2011, Camp Pendleton Marines from the Essex went ashore to help clear debris on Oshima, an island 45 miles from earthquake's epicenter.
Garner said he plans to file additional lawsuits on behalf of other Navy and Marine Corps personnel who are now sick after Operation Tomodachi. The first lawsuit was filed Dec. 21 in San Diego federal court, and he expects to lodge a second there. Others may come in other jurisdictions.
The lawyer said he and his partners have launched a medical study of American personnel involved in the rescue mission. Calling it Operation Tomodachi Revisited, he said it is open to more participants at no cost to the service member. Blood tests will be taken.
Asked to comment on the lawsuit, Pentagon officials released a statement saying that the Navy took "proactive measures" to safeguard sailors.
With more than 5,000 people aboard, the Reagan was operating at sea about 100 miles northeast of the power plant following the earthquake.

Surveying the Contemporary Free Market of Religious and Non-religious Americans
Lunch 11:45 a.m., Lecture 12:15 p.m.
Identifying people by their religion is fraught with potential controversy. Who decides who counts as a Roman Catholic, for example? Should it be the parish priest? Who decides who is a Jehovah's Witness or Wicca? For a subject of such intense interest, the religious identity and beliefs of the American people has been surprisingly under-researched. For constitutional reasons, the government does not ask questions about religious identification in the Census. Few private surveys include or adequately differentiate the large number of people who identify with religious traditions and groups but are not members of congregations. Finally, there has been little detailed comparative research on the religious beliefs of Americans in smaller religious groups or among ethnic minorities.
In his recent book, Religion in a Free Market (2006), Kosmin overcomes the failings of much prior research on American religion by drawing heavily on the findings of the landmark American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) 2001. This survey of 50,000 households covered a national, representative cross-section of the American public, and asked questions about religious identification, belief, and behavior. ARIS has been cited annually in the Statistical Abstract of the United States, a Census Bureau publication, as the primary data source for the religious identification of American adults.
Professor Kosmin is currently research professor in the public policy and law program at Trinity College, and Director of the Institute for the Study of Secularism in Society and Culture. He holds degrees from the Universities of London and McMaster (Canada) and has taught at universities in Europe, Africa, and North America. He is the author of over 20 books and research monographs and more than 50 scholarly articles in the areas of sociology, politics, philanthropy, and policy research. His scholarship includes Joint Series Editor (with Dr Sidney Goldstein) of the monograph series American Jewish Society in the 1990s for State University of New York Press and Joint Editor of the journal Patterns of Prejudice, (1999-2004). this lecture is cosponsored by the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World and the Family of Benjamin Z.

B.A. in Human Services
National Louis University's Bachelor of Arts in Human Services prepares students to advance in organizations that provide support and service to individuals, families, and communities in need. These include social service agencies, community health centers and rehabilitation clinics.
Consider getting your Bachelor of Arts in Human Services degree at NLU if you:
- Want to learn more about interpersonal communication, group process and family dynamics
- Have an interest in working in community service
- Have experience working in the field, or even if you don't—NLU's program offers a practicum option
- Want to study either full or part-time depending on other life commitments
Why NLU for a Bachelor's Degree in Human Services
In 1886, NLU was created as a learning institution dedicated to teaching teachers—with the ultimate goal of helping others and supporting communities so they could grow and prosper. Today NLU continues to carry out its original mission with one of the oldest still active human services programs in the Chicago area. NLU's Human Services degree program educates students so they can work in fields that serve individuals and communities.
We Make it Convenient to Get Your Human Services Degree
NLU recognizes many students are balancing work and family while in school, so courses are scheduled to accommodate those important commitments. With a small class size model that provides students with a support network for study and professional development, NLU's Human Services program is offered in both a traditional on-campus model and a hybrid classroom/online format.
What You Will Learn
- How to better understand and effectively deal with the behavior of individuals and groups
- Common support skills and how to implement them
- How diverse backgrounds and special needs impact today's workplace and communities
- Strategies for community intervention and the management of health and human service organizations
Career Outlook
The number of jobs for social and human service assistants is expected to grow by nearly 23 percent between 2008 and 2018, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. This is due in large part to the aging population and increased demand for mental health and substance abuse treatment.
Graduates with a Bachelor of Arts in Human Services degree hold various positions such as social service assistants, case management aides, social work assistants, residential counselors, community support workers, child-care workers, community outreach workers, life skills counselors or gerontology aides.
Human Services Degree with Practicum Option
With the same general education and core course requirements, the Human Services with Practicum program adds a professional studies sequence—a series of four quarters of practicum along with supervision that allows students to apply what they've learned in a real-world setting.
Human Services Bachelor's Degree Program Requirements
Students must demonstrate English competency by passing the English competency examination or by passing English Composition I (LAE101) and English Composition II (LAE102) at NLU with a grade of "C" or better. Evaluation of prior non-transcripted learning is available through Career Assessment and Planning. There is a 45 quarter hour limit on this credit.
* Students must consult with their advisors to select courses that match an identified area of specialization.
Human Services Bachelor's Degree Admission Requirements
All applicants must meet NLU's general admission requirements as well as additional requirements specific to this program. Refer to the appropriate application checklist available online at nl.edu/applyonline.

Scouting Report-There may not be a player who's hotter than Price. He and Dan Williams seem to be the tackles who are on everyone's mind. And for Price rightfully so. Short and squatty, with lots of beef. The strength of his game so to speak is his quickness. He's a smart player and does a nice job diagnosing run plays, but it's that quick step off the ball, where he's able to split defenders and when he gets to the ballcarrier does a nice job with technique on his tackles. Very light on his feet for a man so big, and does a good job with a variety of interior pass rush moves. He looks to be the kind of guy who could flourish in a 4-3 with a big NT next to him. Reason being, his weakeness is well, his weakness. If he can get to your side, he can overpower you, but head up, he struggles. And double teams swallow him up altogether. What I see going wrong is, when he can't get off his man right away, he loses his leverage. Gets too high, and once he's up, he backs off.
Draft Status-It's going to be hard keeping Price out of the first round at this point. He's chosen a nice time to declare because even though it's a crowded first round, he's coming off a season where he had 22TFLs, which is staggering for an interior defensive lineman. Guys like Dan Williams and Terrance Cody are more nose tackle prospects, whereas Price is more like Gerald McCoy, as a 4-3 UT. This means his draft staus compared to Williams and Cody will depend largely on the defensive scheme of the teams picking. But regardless of the system, Price is almost certainly a top 25 pick.
Final Analysis-Price isn't going to wow everyone with his pass rush skills, and he certainly needs to get in the weight room if he wants to deal with the size of NFL offensive lineman, but as a disruptor and run stopper, Price is the real deal. He's an excellent gap player who will instantly improve the defense he's drafted to. Some have said Price could bulk up and play NT, and others have said he'd be well to play DE in the 3-4, but I'm on board with neither. Not strong enough to play NT, and not tall enough or fast enough to play end. He's a poor man's Gerald McCoy in this draft and that's a positive thing.
Reminds me of: Broderick Bunkley, DT Philadelphia Eagles-Both squatty guys, more quick than powerful, and great at making plays in the backfield. It took Bunkley awhile to acclimate himself to the NFL, but Price may be more NFL ready and have a bit more upside.

Comments about Dimension Mountain Disk Mount Fork:
I used this fork to convert my Interloc Tempest 853 26" frame to full rigid. Having ridden several different rigid steel forks over the last several years (Niner, Salsa, Kona), I figured this fork would be harsh, but the price was right. Much to my surprise this fork is not harsh, or overly heavy, and does a great job of damping vibration (it is a RIGID fork after all). This fork combined with a 2.4 Mountain King made for a relatively comfortable ride. I would highly recommend this fork.

Regzooka Fine print and business practice alert
by lvhawkeye - 2/22/12 10:55 AM
Just a "heads up" for anyone considering Regzooka: I bought a license for Regzooka that was to cover 3 machines. (more about the performance of the product at the bottom) At the time of purchase, I also decided to try their "free" month of something they called Cyber backup. (never used it)
I've just noticed they have been charging me a monthly fee for this Cyberbackup utility for who knows how long. I called them, and their response was something along the lines of: "if you read the text at the bottom, it says that after your initial month, you will be charged a monthly subscription rate."
I think this is sneaky, and although they did consent to refund 2 months, their attitude was the "you need to pay closer attention to the fine print" type. Well, I've learned my lesson, and I hope to spare others from falling into the same barrel as me.
As far as the performance of Regzooka itself, I'm not sure what to think. It SAYS it's searching, and has found X amount of registry errors, and "Presto! at the click of a keystroke, they're all gone, and life is good!
In following up on some people's opinion that registry cleaners as a group are scams, I decided to try Glary Utilities and Iolo's System Mechanic, both of which do registry cleaning. At various times over the past several weeks, I periodically run Regzooka and "clean up" all my registry problems. Then I run Glary utilities, and that program finds X more registry errors, then Iolo then finds even more!
Now I'm no expert, but if Regzooka says that it has done a complete registry cleaning, and then 2 other programs come right behind and find 20-30-50 MORE errors, then something's fishy. And to be fair, I did these experiments in different orders, and the results were the same: After the first "cleaning", the other programs can still find and fix a bunch of "errors."
Does that mean they're all scams? <shrug>?

Dragon Haven: Volume Two of the Rain Wilds Chronicles
Dragon Haven: Volume Two of the Rain Wilds Chronicles (Mass Market Paperback)
Fifteen dragons have set off on a dangerous trek up the Rain Wild River, in hopes of rediscovering their lost haven, the ancient city of Kelsingra. Accompanying them is a disparate group of rejects from Rain Wild society, including strong and defiant young Thymara; wealthy dragon scholar and Trader's wife Alise; and her companion, the urbane Sedric. These human keepers yearn also to create a new home where they can decide their own fate. But is Kelsingra real or merely a fragment of a glorified past buried deep in the dragons' shared memories?
As they forge ever deeper into uncharted wilderness, starvation, flashfloods, and predators imperil them all. But as dragons and humans alike soon learn, the most savage threats come from within their own company . . .
About the Author
Robin Hobb was born in California but grew up in Alaska, where she learned to love the forest and the wilderness. She has lived most of her life in the Pacific Northwest and currently resides in Tacoma, Washington. She is the author of the Rain Wilds Chronicles, the Farseer Trilogy, the Liveship Traders Trilogy, the Tawny Man Trilogy, and the Soldier Son Trilogy. Her books under the pseudonym Megan Lindholm include Wizard of the Pigeons, The Windsingers, and Cloven Hooves. She is also the author of The Inheritance, a collection of stories written under both names. Her short fiction has won the Asimov's Readers' Award and has been a finalist for both the Nebula and Hugo awards.
Praise for Dragon Haven: Volume Two of the Rain Wilds Chronicles…
"Hobb's characterization continues to be top-notch, particularly with Thymara, the outcast teenage girl. Her self-awareness and surety is a delight and her insistence on belonging to no one but herself is simply wonderful."
-Romantic Times
"fast action, deep emotional bonds and a great ending...[I] encourage you to check out Dragon Haven"
"Hobb creates a completely alluring portrait of dragons and their culture."
-Bellingham Herald on DRAGON HAVEN
"Hobb has a deft hand with accessible and sympathetic characters, regardless of their fantasy trappings, and he makes effective use of the divide between what the reader knows and what the characters know to build tension.…A quick and fun read"
-Miami Herald on DRAGON HAVEN
"A satisfying story"
-The News-Star (Monroe, LA) on DRAGON HAVEN
"Hobb's strength has always been her ability to create compelling characters to inhabit her richly detailed worlds. The Rain Wilds Chronicles is no exception."

The 15th annual SOFA New York, Apr. 20-23, 2012 -- also known as the Sculpture Objects & Functional Art Fair -- opened last week at the Park Avenue Armory, charged up with a brilliant redesign by architect David Ling, a former associate with Richard Meier, I.M. Pei and Emilio Ambasz. Ling designed a narrow, tunnel-like entrance, sheathed in white, leading to an open courtyard space. Overhead he placed an array of rectilinear white lighting fixtures.
"We're taking SOFA to a new level of commingling art and design," promised SOFA founder Mark Lyman. SOFA NY boasts 50 dealers in its current New York manifestation, a compact number compared to the 70-plus booths in the ADAA Art Show. Admission is $25 -- and today is the final day of the fair.

Want something fun for the new school year? Here's how to turn heads without spending a fortune
It's almost September, which means the weather gets cooler, the sale signs start going up, and the slumbering shopaholic inside of me begins to stir. My philosophy has always been: New school year, new look. And I'll admit it -- I've kept this motto even after I graduated.
But since buying a whole new wardrobe is out of the question (I'm trying to be more responsible here, come on), I go for the option that doesn't cost a ton of money. Accessories. I love how they can enhance your otherwise plain wardrobe, and -- like it or not --they can make or break an entire outfit.
Check out five DIY fall accessories with step-by-steps here.
In past years, I scoured Etsy and Piperlime to buy every must-have accessory for fall. Headbands, necklaces, bracelets, you name it. But this year, I had a thought. Rather than clicking "buy" and waiting forever for it to come in the mail, what if I was crafty enough to make them myself?
Using expert tips from stylist and fashion editor Stephanie Rygorsky, I came up with five different accessories that play up 2011 fashion trends -- from a vintage headpiece to a shirt necklace. Making your own accessories can really give you that "something-something" to put an extra bounce in your step when you go back to school; and come the first day of class, you'll have no worries of clashing with someone else. Plus, all of these materials can be found for super cheap at a craft store, so you won't break your budget, no matter how small it is. Now, are you ready to become an accessory-maker extraordinaire? Let's get started.
Check out five DIY fall accessories with step-by-steps here.

PIQUA — As a successful entrepreneur, Joshua Landis has participated in numerous fundraisers and charity events, including one for a sports celebrity, but his latest venture hits closer to home.
When Landis learned that the parents of his beloved cousin, Kristin A. Magill, who died in September at age 25, couldn't afford a headstone for their son's grave, he turned to a resource that's becoming increasingly popular: online crowd funding.
"I was in town visiting family for Thanksgiving and had a sit-down with (Kris' parents) Linda and Caleb and they said he didn't have a headstone yet," said Landis, a former Piquad who now lives outside Philadelphia. "I asked them how long he would be without a headstone and they said they didn't have the money for it. I knew that social media was a viable option to raise the money."
With this in mind, Landis established a fundraising page for Kris on the YouCaring.com free online fundraising site. Titled "This ONE is for Kris," the fundraiser has a goal of $10,000 and asks donors to contribute just a dollar apiece.
"A lot of fundraisers ask for $25 to $100, but not everyone can give that much," said Landis, owner of The iLove Team, a photo booth company in Glenside, Pa. "But we all have a dollar that we can find somewhere in the house, and that's all I'm asking to make a Christmas miracle."
During the first week since it was established, the funding campaign has garnered more than $300. The campaign runs through Dec. 31. To donate, visit www.thisoneisforkris.org.

Cat Cryptococcosis
Cat Cryptococcosis
Cryptococcosis is the result of a fungus that is spread throughout North America. Its primary source is pigeon feces, but it can be found in other birds, animals and on the skin of people. It is also noted to be a disease that twenty percent of AIDS patients have. Treatment is easy and effective if it is begun at the start of symptoms.
How do cats become infected?
The primary source of the infection is contracted through inhalation. The fungus is airborne and consequently not easy to see or to prevent. Once the fungus is settled in the nose or lungs it can either progress in immune suppressed pets or people or isolate itself and never manifest symptoms. Cats that have a history of excessive steroid use and consequently a suppressed immune system can have resultant pneumonia or other systemic diseases.
Signs and Symptoms
The symptoms of the disease are varied. Cats that are infected are usually young adults and there are no specific breed choices that are more prone to infection. Symptoms can include eye problems, neurological problems, Cat Loss of Weight and skin lesions. Runny nose, Cat Fever and Cat Coughs have all been seen in some cats.
Oral antifungul medications are the primary treatment. This will not be a short term treatment, especially in cats. Consequently it can become quite expensive. It will be necessary to cooperate with your veterinarian to establish an adequate care plan for treatment.
With a primary immunosuppressing disease as the underlying culprit, the veterinarian will choose to do a complete workup on your cat. In this way the causative disease can be treated and lead to a more successful recovery.
The only way to prevent contracting Cryptococcus is to avoid areas that are littered with pigeon feces. Cats that are residing in some cities are more prone to the disease because of the huge pigeon population. These cats should be kept indoors as much as possible.
Steroids are notorious for depressing the immune system. In younger cats they may be used to treat specific symptoms of other diseases or Cat Allergies. As anti-inflammatory drugs, they may work quickly, but should be discontinued slowly and your cat should be placed on one of the other anti-inflammatory agents that are available.
Supportive treatment for your sick cat is necessary with this as it is with any other disease. It will be necessary to medicate your cat as your veterinarian prescribes and do it regularly. Observe your cat for relief of symptoms and side effects from the medication. Some anti-fungal medications can be upsetting to a cat's stomach and should be given with food. Ask your vet if this is the case.
If your cat does exhibit signs of stomach upset, try giving the medication with food to see if the vomiting subsides. If it does not, contact your vet for a possible alternative medication.
The risk of transmitting Cryptococcus to humans is negligible. It is also very uncommon to transmit it to other pets in the household.

KENT, Ohio – Kent State scored in its first five innings to hand the Miami University baseball team a 13-4 loss on Saturday.
The setback drops the RedHawks to 13-20 overall and 4-7 in the Mid-American Conference.
Zarley Zalewski's RBI single in the first inning put the Golden Flashes on top 1-0. In the second, Alex Miklos hit a two-run triple and came around to score on a passed ball. KSU added three more runs in the third on Jeff Revesz' RBI single, a run scoring double play ball and Sawyer Polen's RBI single to put the RedHawks down 7-0.
Miami got on the board in the top of the fourth as John Crummy hit an RBI double to right center field. A Max Andresen RBI groundout drew the Red and White closer still at 7-2 through three and a half innings.
The Golden Flashes tacked on four more in the bottom of the frame with Cody Koch tripling in a run and scoring on T.J. Sutton's RBI single. Revesz closed the scoring in the frame by hitting a two-run homer. KSU finished its scoring by plating two unearned runs in the fifth on a Miami error and a Koch sacrifice fly, digging MU into a 13-2 deficit after five innings.
MU added a run on Crummy's RBI groundout in the fifth and a wild pitch plated Chad Sedio in the seventh to cap the scoring.
Nathan Williams dropped to 2-5 on the season after allowing 11 runs (10 earned) in 3.1 innings, snapping an impressive four-start streak where he posted a 2.30 ERA. Dan Walsh posted a multi-hit game, going 2-for-3 with a run scored.
The RedHawks and Golden Flashes conclude their series on Sunday. First pitch is at 1 p.m.

Tara Munoz had never shared her home with a cat before, but when she and her husband visited the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan, she quickly met her first feline match. The couple adopted a friendly cat named Caesar, and it was love at first paw. She shared the following story with us:
In December 2012, my family and I adopted Caesar from the ASPCA in New York City. He adapted very well to our home, and we think he is the "purrfect" addition.
The adoption process was very thorough, informative and the volunteers were great.When we were looking at the cats inside the cat room, Caesar came down from his post and up to my husband. He rubbed against him and offered his paw—it was the cutest thing I have ever seen. Caesar stole my heart from that moment on. He chose us!
Caesar loves to play with his toys, and he always makes us laugh the way he plays with his scratching post. I've never had a cat before, but my husband had cats throughout most of his childhood life. Adopting Caesar has definitely been a wonderful learning and loving experience. Caesar has brought me joy and happiness that I could never imagine.
Thanks to the ASPCA for their service. Caesar is the best!
Did you adopt from the ASPCA? Send us photos at [email protected] for a chance to be featured on the blog!
What a great story. It is hard to go in a place like that. You feel so sad because you can't take ALL of them. I always cry after I leave ( for the ones still waiting to go home).
not only do kitties in shelters need help but the homeless ones that live on the streets with no families and never know where there meals if any will come from so as a pet lover i took in 16 homeless cats that lived with no hope for a future other than being pick up by animal services and being euthenized just because they were homeless and gave them a future today they are healthy and happy. most people will not take black cats in but i am happy to say the 16 cats i have they are black, black&white, orange, gray, and white turkish van cats as well so people should consider taking not only cats from shelters but the homeless ones with no future as well
I LOVE black cats!!!! Adopted 2 black brothers from a rescue spot and then adopted 2 black sisters from an individual that worked at my vets. Her grandmother had the mother & she was trying to find a forever-home for the kittens. I also have 2 black & white cats that belonged to extended family members & needed homes when the originial owners became unable to care for them. Just recently I also took in a tortorise shell cat that was
"dropped off" in my neighborhood. She is the sweetist cat but has
gotten chubbly because she can't believe that there is always food
available. Yes, that makes 7 cats but I love them all!
I love all of these stories about cats. We have one princess...SHE adopted us. Love her so much! Love ALL cats!
So glad Tara and her husband's hearts! My new adopted cat Tristan also chose me at the shelter and helped me heal a broken heart; story at http://www.indefenseofcats.com/blog.html
I adopted a six year old Tabby Persian cat on June 9, 2012 from a local shelter. She is now the Princess of my home and great company for my male Persian cat. Tabby Persian cats often sit for a long time waiting for homes because some people think they are too ordinary. My Tabby Persian is a Blue Silver Gold Tabby Persian and a rare color. She is active and sweet and playful. I don't consider her ordinary at all! I'm so happy to find her!
I think it's funny how people suddenly love cats when they hear a heart-warming story about one, but wouldn't give it a second thought about abandoning one because they are moving or the cat gets pregnant or they simply don't want it anymore because it isn't cute, and assume it can fend for itself. Shame on you!
Caesar is so handsome! I'm so glad he found a loving home, and that his new Mom is gettig to experience the joy and fun of having a cat as a family member.
cute my cat lays like that a lot its to cute!!!!!!
