ELON — For the Graham boys' basketball team, Wednesday night's game at Western Alamance represented a potential pitfall after it opened the season on a high note the previous night.
But after a sluggish start, the Red Devils lit up the Warriors in the second quarter and cruised to a 71-48 victory.
"Our goal was to come out and not have a letdown after (Tuesday night). It took us (until) the second quarter to do that," Graham coach Mike Williams said. "But our goal was to dictate from the start."
After the teams slogged through a turnover-filled first quarter, Graham (2-0) led 13-6. That evolved into a 41-17 lead after Graham outscored the Warriors (0-2) by 28-11 in the second quarter.
The Red Devils accomplished Williams' goal in the second frame by controlling the pace with their tenacious full-court pressure defense and a combination of inside and outside scoring.
Graham connected on 12 shots from 3-point ranges — a night after making 11 against Eastern Alamance in a 70-65 victory. While three Graham players hit from long range Tuesday, six players drained 3s against Western Alamance.
"We have a bunch of streak shooters. If they hit one, they're going to hit two or three," Williams said.
Kendall Patterson and Michael Ratliff each scored 15 points to lead Graham, with both players hitting a pair of 3s. While Patterson alternated between point guard and off-ball guard, Ratliff scored his points with an inside-out presence.
Ratliff also benefitted from Graham's full-court pressure, which resulted in several transition points.
"We try to bring that pressure every night," Ratliff said.
Despite Williams admitting that the Red Devils aren't one of the bigger teams in the area in terms of height, Graham did have that advantage against Western Alamance.
It was one that forward Jeremy Williams said was key to take advantage of.
"We try to take advantage of their weakness, and we knew they weren't going to be as big as us," Williams said.
And with guards like Patterson, Trent Torain (10 points) and Troy Bowden (three 3s), Williams, Ratliff and the other inside players for Graham stand to benefit the most from the guards' play.
"Getting rebounds sometimes, it opens up for us when they key on the guards," Williams said. "They start doubling the guards and leave us open."
In the third quarter, five of Graham's six field goals were 3s. The Red Devils kept the pressure on during the second half and never allowed Western Alamance within 20 points during the second half.
For Western Alamance coach Carter Gerlach, he knew Graham controlled the pace and rarely allowed the Warriors to set up their halfcourt offense.
"It was a sloppy first quarter and we didn't really get many possessions across half court and when we did, we rushed shots," Gerlach said. "Then it just sort of unraveled there in the second quarter."
The Warriors were led by T.J. Harris' 16 points, while Davorous Graves added 12.
Western Alamance played without Andre Saunders, who hyperextended his right knee during Tuesday night's game against Southern Alamance. He said he hopes to return within the next two weeks.

LA GRANGE — Jauquaz Jones has been forced to grow up faster than most teenagers his age. At only 16, Jones has endured his mother's untimely death and now watches as his older brother goes through dialysis treatments due to diabetes.
Through it all the North Lenoir junior hasn't been the only one to mature.
His Hawks teammates have grown up with him.
Jones lost his mother, Nissa, last February when she passed away from complications due to breast cancer and kidney failure, he said. Not only was North Lenoir's basketball team enduring one of its worst seasons to date — the Hawks lost their first 18 games in 2011-12 — but Jones was enduring some of the darkest moments a teenager can go through.
It's been nearly a year since that fateful day. While there isn't a moment goes by that Jones doesn't think about his mother or his brother, 20-year-old Da'rico, a former standout for the Hawks, the hardships have only made the 16-year-old guard stronger on and off the hardwood.
"I'm just out here trying to do everything for them," Jones said. "You just got to keep your head up and keep going through it, and pray for better days to come.
"It makes you a lot stronger when you go through stuff like this, especially at a young age," he added, "and when someone else goes through it you just tell them it's going to get better."
With only nine regular season games left on its schedule, North Lenoir (8-7, 3-0 Eastern Carolina 3A) has, in a way, benefited from the tragedy.
The death of his mother inspired Jones to stay the course, and that attitude has since rubbed off on his teammates.
Although only a junior, Jones is now seen as the clubhouse leader in a locker room that has become a family itself.
"Ever since his mother passed away he's fought through on straight determination and straight dedication. He learned to get through it. He wanted to grind for her, as he would say, 'Make her proud as if she was still here,'" senior Devantae Sutton said.
"I've seen him grow, not just as a better player but as a leader. He's like a father-figure to the whole team.
"We've came together as one — as a family."
The Hawks, who travel to Eastern Wayne on Wednesday before again taking the road to Clayton Cleveland on Friday, are a completely different team this season than it was last.
Although it lost its first 18 games, North Lenoir held leads late with chances to win but somehow wilted under the pressure.
But not this season.
The Hawks now have the confidence to play to win rather than playing to lose, and they earned that confidence by standing by a teammate who was dealing with something way bigger than basketball.
"We were determined not to have a season like last year," Jones said. "When things get going tough, you just have to keep your head on and stay focused. No matter what the score looks like, no matter if they're coming back, you still got to stay focused and get that 'W.'"
Fifteen games into this season, North Lenoir has one more "W" than "Ls," and it's because the entire team learned how to stay focused.
It also learned how to lean on one another during a difficult time.
"During that time, the whole team was there for him. … I think that kind of drew us together. It was a new experience for us," second-year coach Anthony Loftin said.
"We understood. We felt his hurt."
It's been almost a year since Jones lost his mother, who was only able to see him play high school basketball once, he said, right before she passed. Now, Jones believes, she's able to watch him play every night.
He said he says a prayer for her and listens to "Dear Mama," written by Tupac Shakur, which was his mother's favorite song, before every game.
Jones admits he uses basketball as a way to "get away," but it's also been the instrument through which he's showed his maturation.
When Nissa Jones passed away last February, her son, Jauquaz, felt like stopping everything. After a conversation with his older brother, Da'rico, the North Lenoir guard continued to press forward.
His teammates took notice, and they've carried forward with him.
"When you want to do something to make your mom proud, even if she wasn't here to watch it, you just have to keep going hard and getting better and do everything for her," Jones said.
"There's been plenty of times you want to give up, but you just got to keep going."

I have a 32" but would like something bigger and thinner, my LG is a few years old so not the thinnest one around. My parents have a newer 40" but not much thinner and dad doesn't see the need for anything bigger. But I'd say for the average living room 50" is the sweet spot right now.

But your right I think Mountain Lion does everything to begin with.. Maybe they just need a security feature where only one device can watch live TV at a time. Kind of like Spotify does. That way if you give your login out to people only one person will be able to watch it anyways. That's the best method to protect the content I think.
|Dec 18, 2012, 08:03 AM
Physical aspects of the device... maybe. If someone explained to you, pre-iPhone, what the internals were going to be on an iPhone, you'd completely miss the experience aspect, which is what Apple sells.
Couldn't care less what the thing looks like; how it acts will be what matters.
|Dec 18, 2012, 08:30 AM
I do hope they do both
I can't see myself ever going back to having a TV again. When the projector is off I am left with just a wall without any hardware to look at... in my opinion that is more elegant than anything Sir Jony can give me. It's all about the software.
|Dec 18, 2012, 08:43 AM
If Apple really want to dominate the home media and TV market then they need to do something that seems to be unique in the market..... make it work with all my existing stuff, and by that I mean my existing movie files. Nobody wants to reconvert all of their existing media. Ever. For many people it takes too long. I believe the reason that no one device has totally dominated in the home media/networked streamng movies type market is that there's a compromise with all of them.
Xbox360, PS3, smart TV's, AppleTV..... Most support their own prefferred formats, a few extra ones like old DivX's and Xvids... and that's it. No codec support either.
Apple need to remove any downside to their product. Apple are all about vendor lock in these days.
People will buy their movies from itunes if they have an AppleTV, but they won't even buy an apple TV if they feel affected by vendor lock OUT, which is what all of the current options suffer from. People will stay with the apple product if they move to the apple product.... and that means it needs to be easy to move their current library with them.

People only upgrade if the technology changes radically, i.e. rear-projector/DLP -> LCD. Even 3D is slow because of the need for glasses. Perhaps once glassless 3D becomes mainstream, people will jump on board 3D.
DLNA compatible devices (Xbox, PS3, TVs, etc) can transcode via a media server (i.e. Plex), although most newer devices support a decent range of codecs.
However, if you really want a multi-format player, there are plenty of those, Boxee, XBMC, WDTV, etc.

This is more intuitive that waving at a screen, trying to shout at a screen over background noise and being misunderstood because i have a cold , or digging out a touch screen device and finding the battery is dead because i forgot to charge it overnight..
Ill stick with my remote thank you, the one ive had for 5 years now, and that has only had 3 sets of AAA batteries in all that time.
If your average TV/Bluray player remote is too complex and unintuitive for you, i seriously wonder how you manage to get your pants on in the morning without help.

Of which, I use about 2-4 buttons on any one of them. Yet each of them have about 40 buttons on them that only serve to confuse my guests.
I've been looking for a long time for "one remote to rule them all" - and sadly there's nothing available for sale. I'm guessing, Apple is unlikely to release a "universal remote" alongside their Television for those of us who don't need to buy a new TV but want the functionality.
The dream, for me at least, is something like the unreleased RF AirMouse
Until then, I'm waffling on the NYXBoard.
|Dec 18, 2012, 11:34 AM
The essential buttons on a remote:
- Power on/off
- Volume Up/Down
- Channel Up/Down
- Left/Right/Up/Down/Ok
- Play/Pause, Stop, Rewind, Fastforward (note: a lot of boxes have these combined into the left/right/up/down buttons)
- Record
- Numbers 0-9
- Red/Yellow/Green/Blue function buttons (note: you cant drop these - they are actually very important around the world)
You criticised the remote. But what do you propose as an alternative option to perform these tasks? Siri's not reliable enough to do it, and hardly practical to send commands back to Apple servers just to change channel.
|Dec 18, 2012, 12:01 PM
Add the fact that the battery door on most remotes is doomed to fail (by design?), resulting in a nice duct-tape patching or pricey replacement, and you have an ancient artifact in the day of intuitive touch-screen devices.
The remote is a component that needs a good kick in the butt from a design perspective.
|Dec 18, 2012, 02:48 PM
All those product are all more expensive than the average selling price of the products in its respective category.
An iPod shuffle is expensive for a music player without a screen (its category).
The iPad mini is expensive for a small ARM-based tablet (its category).
iPhones are not 0$, it's not because your carrier pays it for you that it's free. This also varies a lot by country.
Read my post again too. I said they don't necessarily have average people in mind. You throw me examples of their cheaper mainstream products while I just gave an example of a different product: the Thunderbolt display. Even if your examples were valid, I didn't even claim all their products were more expensive than average.
|Dec 18, 2012, 03:08 PM
Nice box!
Apple should just get rid of Jony and hire this guy. I mean look at that set top box! Whoever designed that has their finger on the pulse of a new generation of 80s-loving teens. I mean... they can even reuse the chasis for the next breakthrough innovation from Apple, the iClockRadio! I just hope Apple remembers to license the digital time display style from Radio Shack. Wouldn't want another Swiss clock debacle.
|Dec 18, 2012, 04:47 PM
There is no reason for Apple to tackle this market. Not only is it declining, people won't tolerate the profit margin Apple demands to make it worthwhile to them, not to mention that they won't be able to iterate like they do. The problem isn't the TV, it's the iron grip the media companies have on the content. Apple can't affect that well enough for it to be a smart strategy. People don't replace their HDTV often enough for it to be profitable, and Apple would want far too much for anyone but the hardest of hardcore Apple fans to pay the ridiculous price they would charge. The market is trending downward quickly because people don't buy TVs unless it's Thanksgiving slasher sales, and they are a 10 year replacement cycle device. People literally assault one another because they get a 36"-46" TV for a few hundred dollars, Apple doesn't want to be in that market because they won't make the profit they are accustomed to. Besides, are you going to carry an unwieldy 60 or so pound TV into an Apple store? No.
I'm in no way interested in an Apple TV because streaming content would kill stupidly low data cap with my ISP, and Apple won't affect the fact that they want to charge a ridiculous fee for cable. I'm not interested in cable because I'd have to pay well over $100 a month for what I do want to watch, and even iTunes episodes are out after it airs on TV. They simply won't make a dent because the content is the problem, not what you watch it on. Cable boxes and the UI are crap, I know that, but I want better a freer access to content, not yet another layer of rules and payment for the content in another place.
Advertising companies don't spend millions on campaigns on the albums or songs you bought. The no-talent "artists" we have today won't be here in 10 years, actors can last for 50 if they are good enough. A really great actor can pull in billions over their career. Music is disposable, overproduced garbage written to fit in between radio commercials. "free" music services are riddled with ads unless you pay a fee, or listen to the same crap over and over. The big media companies own all of it and they won't ever let go of media that they can't shove ads down our throat through. Various formats, hardware requirements, DRM and other things have stopped this for years, and you can bet your last dollar they are hard at work making sure all of that evolves as quickly as possible to make it all still locked down in some way.
Hell, they are sending people to jail for longer than murderers are locked up for distributing media in ways people want, but in ways they can't monetize and control. You honestly think that will change?

Maybe ive just been lucky and picked products with good, intuitive remotes, the one remote i HATE with a passion is the apple TV remote, it just doesn't have enough functions on it, making it needlessly complex to do simple tasks on occasion, with commands like press, hold for three seconds, press down and pray being fairly standard to bring up program information without interrupting playback or jumping back to a previous screen.
I dont find touch screen devices to be intuitive at all, i once tried to combine all my remotes into a single (very expensive at the time) touch screen device and it was awful, ill stick to my current collection of TV, PS3, surround system and fire remotes, i have no need for more.

All of these remotes are awful at interacting with web based content channels like HULU or Netflix.
It takes me 5 minutes to arrow up/down my way through text searching for a TV show. On my Mac I can do the same in 5 seconds.
Along with remotes, the actual menus and interactivity on cable, TV and STBs are awful.
There are ways of setting up favorites on the cable box, but it works terribly. And if you box has to be replaced due to a technical issue (happened 3 times this year already!) you lose those settings.
Same for my bluray player which spends most of its time streaming hulu.
Apple does not have to think up a game changing re-boot of TV. All they have to do is make an IOS type interface that is legible from the couch. Give us a rudimentary alphanumeric keyboard on the remote. More likely it will incorporate something akin to Siri. Though there is no way that will work well from a mic in the TV or a STB. Instead they will have to incorporate it in a remote so they can achieve a better SNR. This is why I think we will see a cheapo clickwheel remote with a mic. And IOS device pairing for more elaborate remote control.
PS. I work for cable btw.

I doubt they'd do a set top box and monitor. That's not really a streamlined product line, and they already have Apple TV.

I'll start this response by stating that I didn't read through the 10 pages of comments, so this idea might have already be stated...
I'm beginning to suspect that the new Apple Television Set will be sort of an All-in-one entertainment center, with gaming functionality as one of the main elements of marketing (i.e. a serious competitor to Wii U, Xbox Kinect and others). As we are seeing with the new Wii system, the main element of the "newness" of the design is the controller implementation, with touchscreen, etc. Apple's approach would leverage existing iDevices against their new gaming concept, built right into the new Apple Television.
One thought I specifically had was that the new iPad Mini might be the main controller they have in mind... it's basically the perfect size for a gaming control application. Couple that with the previous stance that the company had against making a smaller iPad and it could be that the iPad Mini might even have been primarily conceived as a media center / gaming control device. If it was intended that way or not, it might work out very well for Apple in the end.
Maybe the massive revenue generation of the iOS games got some folks thinking (maybe even Steve before he passed) and gaming is an area (perhaps the only area) where Microsoft's domination has basically gone totally unchecked by Apple... I surmise that, within the next year, that will no longer be the case.
Interesting times...

I don't think Apple will be trying to make gaming part of the mix on any possible apple tv set.
The competition with Sony Nintendo and Microsoft is pretty fierce. They sell gaming boxes with thin or negative margins hoping to make up the loss in licensing. And then there is the question of development. Would it be IOS compatible or would you need to purchase a special developers setup?
You should see the developers boxes for Playstations. Pretty crazy. Pretty expensive.
Putting the requisite hardware into a TV to play contemporary games at decent framerates will put quite a bump on the price. Not that Apple has ever been cheap, but that would probably put it at a price premium higher than the cost of a new Samsung TV and a Wii.
While gaming is a huge industry, I would think Apple is going after the Hulu/Netflix/boxee ecosystem. Perhaps with some content agreements in their back pocket. Heck if they can get Disney/Pixar/Lucasfilm and Comcast/NBCUNIVERSAL they have enough content right there.
Or if they can put a better front end on Hulu and Netflix they have won the battle already.

CHOC Children's has launched a pilot study into advanced cancer care at its Hyundai Cancer Institute. As part of that study, the facility has incorporated a new genome sequencing service for cancer samples, Illumina RapidTrack Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS). The program is the first to implement this service as means of enhancing cancer treatment.
The new children's hospital in Orange has designed the study to advance personalized treatment and care for children and teens suffering from recurrent strains of cancer. Dr. Leonard Sender, medical director of the Hyundai Cancer Institute and principal investigator of the study, said the hospital aims to be at the forefront of pediatric cancer services.
"We want to be a game changer for patients and their families who are faced with the scary diagnosis of recurrent cancer. Eighty percent of pediatric cancers are cured, which is wonderful, but we can't forget about the 20 percent who aren't," Sender said. "That vulnerable group is the focus of our efforts, and we are dedicated to providing them with answers and effective treatment as quickly as possible."
The RapidTrack WGS service allows the Institute to collect whole genome sequencing data within 14 days, the fastest sample-to-data turnaround time available in genome sequencing. The collected data is then sent to the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), a partner of the Hyundai Cancer Institute and collaborator in the study. TGen will analyze the data and provide CHOC's physicians and researchers on the hospital's Molecular Profiling Board with customized reports and evaluations.
Sender acknowledged Hyundai Motor America's contributions to CHOC Children's programs, saying that grants provided through the Hyundai Hope on Wheels fundraisers have funded life-saving research.
"The ability to rapidly translate samples to data in the lab will have an immediate bedside impact by offering more accurate diagnoses and personalized treatments that save children's lives."

ORANGE, Carlos Gamez: While I agree with parts of your editorial, "Legacy for Sandy Hook" [Opinion, April 1], I disagree with the point made on "easing the standards for involuntary commitment for the truly dangerous." This is just as dangerous as banning certain weapons outright as it gives more power to the group responsible for these mass murders. A group that is at the core of the issue and that continues to act with impunity – the psychiatric community.
|WASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 02: Former U.S. Rep. Asa Hutchinson announces the recommendations of the NRA backed National School Shield Program regarding school security during a press conference April 2, 2013 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Among other findings, the report recommended training and placing armed personnel in public schools following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. (Photo by Win McNamee, Getty Images)
There have been mentally ill people since time immemorial and there have been guns and automatic weapons for many decades. But the new factor is the proliferation of extremely dangerous psychotropic drugs that push the mentally weak into full-blown psychotic breaks ending with bloodbaths.
The psychiatrist knows as we all do, the danger of these drugs and they know as well the undeniable connection between mass shootings and these psychotropic killers, yet these drugs are poured into our society by the truckload.
We cannot give psychiatry more power, we need to take power from them. They must be held accountable when prescribing killer drugs to those suffering from mental illness, which puts them and the rest of our society in danger.
A bartender that serves too many drinks can be liable for his actions, medical doctors are liable for their mistakes and errors, so are policeman, attorneys and government officials. Why not psychiatrists?
The psychiatrist must be held accountable.
LAKE FOREST, Clif Miller: Although the editorial writer correctly points out that Americans can use guns and violent videos without developing homicidal tendencies and that the frequency of mass shootings are committed by those so-called "mentally disturbed," let's look at the fact that at least 31 school shootings are linked with these "mentally disturbed," who are on psychiatric drugs that have side effects including aggression, mania, violence, psychosis, suicidal and homicidal ideation.
If we want true reform, don't give it to the government to regulate us further with more taxes. And having a dialogue between doctors (psychiatrists in this case) and the family is like having a criminal discuss with the family the merits of robbing them.
Why is it so difficult to find what psychiatric drugs Sandy Hook massacre shooter Adam Lanza was on and petitions to disclose his toxicology report have to be circulated? Perhaps if the public sees the connection, his doctor might be liable for prescribing such mind-altering and violence-causing drugs.
AB32 exemptions
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Steven Rad: Three letters appearing criticizing Republican State Senator Mimi Walters' bill to exempt cap-and-trade (Assembly Bill 32) from the university system exhibit political naiveté ["Greenhouse-gas law gores state businesses," March 30].
There is nothing Republicans can do about Sacramento's folly until they can garner more support from the youth vote because they are outgunned by the supermajorities California's Democrats enjoy in the Senate and Assembly.
Any attempt to overturn the entire cap-and-trade bill would only solidify the liberal support for it. Sen. Walters' bill is brilliant in that it begins to erode support for environmental extremism by putting the liberal legislators between the proverbial "rock and hard place." Do they support affordable education or do they support environmental recklessness?
This could well be a first step in overturning AB32. It will be fascinating to watch how the Legislature deals with Walters' proposal.
More mortgage games
BUENA PARK, Daniel A. Thurber: Three years into the housing recovery and we are still giving away dollars from the taxpayer store ["U.S. to ease modifcations on loans by Fannie and Freddie," Business, April 1]. The Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac overseer will try a new program that does not require the borrower to show proof of income. Is this not one of those programs that got us in the mess in the first place? What? You didn't learn a lesson from the first time around that so far has cost the taxpayer over $150 billion.
Now we have this program and we all know it won't work, but I guess these programs are OK since they have the taxpayer dollars to bail them out.
You know it's time to fish or cut bait and in this case after three years cut the bait on these borrowers. Foreclose and sell the property to somebody who will make payments on a timely basis.

MUMBAI: As part of a strategic rebranding exercise, Jet Airways, India's premier international airline, will consolidate its low fare service products under the JetKonnect brand to simplify the group's service proposition and enhance brand recall. Thus, effective March 25, the erstwhile JetLite and Jet Airways Konnect services will operate under the JetKonnect brand, enabling guests to avail of a single superior in-flight product in the full service (Jet Airways) and low-fare (JetKonnect) categories.
Jet Airways (India) Limited and JetLite (India) Limited, will continue as distinct business entities operating under their own airline operating permits.
In an attempt to achieve brand consistency, JetKonnect will be the dedicated low fare service with a mixed fleet of Boeings and ATR aircraft to operate on metro, tier II and III routes.
The aircraft will be duly painted in JetKonnect colours over time. JetKonnect will offer Premiere services on certain routes where guests may enjoy service identical to that enjoyed by Premiere guests on Jet Airways. This will be further expanded in a phased manner. The cockpit and cabin crew will don the same uniform as their counterparts from Jet Airways. Some JetKonnect flights will operate under the S2 code, while others will have flight numbers prefixed by the 9W code. 9W and S2 will also continue their existing Codeshare agreement enabling guests to enjoy seamless connectivity between India and the world.
A gradual rebranding of the JetKonnect brand would be manifest on letterheads, the JetKonnect website, boarding passes, tickets, stationery. Signages at all check-in and ticketing counters will have dual branding reflecting the existing Jet Airways and the new JetKonnect logos. Difference in fares between the premier Jet Airways and JetKonnect will also be reflected on the website and all visible communication avenues. Economy guests onboard JetKonnect flights will continue to be offered a range of refreshments from Jet Cafe, JetKonnect's buy-on-board meal service.
Effective March 26, 2012 guests to jetlite.com would be automatically redirected to the new, re-branded jetkonnect.com
Commenting on the rebranding exercise, Sudheer Raghavan, Chief Commercial Officer, Jet Airways, said, "At Jet Airways, we see our brands as a set of differentiating propositions that help us connect with our guests. The Jet Airways Group has always been proactive in responding to our guests requirements and have demonstrated a flexible approach in devising products and services to meet customer needs. Given that our low-fare, high-quality all-economy product, Jet Airways Konnect has proved to be a successful model since its introduction in May 2009, we thought it best to consolidate our product in the low-fare segment with a single brand - JetKonnect, for enhanced brand recall.
The decision was made to streamline our product portfolio and offer our guests a single superior in-flight product in the full service and low fare categories respectively, drawing synergies from the Jet Airways mother brand. The launch of brand JetKonnect is the culmination of a well coordinated effort.We are confident that this initiative will be well accepted by all our guests. The Jet Airways Group is continually looking at opportunities to optimally deploy and cross-utilise common resources of Jet Airways and JetLite wherever possible and this rebranding exercise will help further in synergising the airlines' collective operations."
Ticket sale for JetKonnect flights under the 9W code (2000 series eg 9W 2120) and S2 code (4000 series) will commence from March 20,, 2012, with travel validity from March 25, 2012 onwards. The availability 'tag line' would read 'Operated by JetKonnect' and the flight series would now be as follows: S2 (4 digit flight number / 4000 series) e. g. S2 4123 (OPERATED BY JetKonnect).
The total number of flights by the Jet Airways group, which currently operates around 600 flights daily with a fleet of 120 aircraft, will remain unchanged.
About Jet AirwaysJet Airways currently operates a fleet of 101 aircraft, which includes 10 Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft, 12 Airbus A330-200 aircraft, 59 next generation Boeing 737-700/800/900 aircraft and 20 modern ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft. With an average fleet age of 5.89 years, the airline has one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the world. Flights to 76 destinations span the length and breadth of India and beyond, including Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Bangkok, Brussels, Colombo, Dammam, Dhaka, Doha, Dubai, Hong Kong, Jeddah, Johannesburg, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Kuwait, London(Heathrow), Milan, Muscat, New York (both JFK and Newark), Riyadh, Sharjah, Singapore and Toronto.
About Jet Airways KonnectJet Airways' Konnect service operates on key domestic routes, and is designed to meet the needs of the low-fare segment with value-for-money fares. Jet Airways Konnect links seven major metros - Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Kolkata – with several destinations across India, operating approximately 290 flights daily.About JetLiteJetLite is a subsidiary of Jet Airways India Ltd. and was acquired by Jet Airways in April 2007.

|The two-phased athletic training education program focuses on physical evaluation, emergency management, rehabilitation and care, and prevention of injuries. During the preprofessional phase students complete 150 observation hours in the athletic training room, where they are exposed to the academic and clinical requirements of athletic training. Upon completion of the preprofessional phase, qualified students apply for formal acceptance into the major or professional phase, where they spend 2.5 to 3 years applying academic knowledge and clinical application of athletic training skills in a variety of clinical settings, such as intercollegiate athletics, sports medicine clinics, orthopedic offices and EMS services. Upon completing the program, students qualify to sit for the national Board of Certification examination. The CAATE -accredited program has a selective admission policy.
The Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training consists of preprofessional and professional components. In the preprofessional phase, the student completes a directed observation year. The professional phase begins after formal admission into the athletic training education program and includes clinical courses and clinical educational experiences under the direct supervision of a certified athletic
Advancement into the professional phase of the athletic training program is selective and is limited. Limited admission will ensure that an appropriate student to clinical instructor ratio (approximately 8:1) is maintained.
After completion of the preprofessional directed observation requirement (normally done within the first two or three semesters of full-time study), formal application to the professional phase of the program is made. Advancement to the professional program is controlled through the first practicum course (ATTR 15092). In order to be eligible for this course, students must: complete 30 credit hours; make formal application to the professional phase of the program; provide three professional letters of reference; complete 150 hours of directed observation experiences under the direct supervision of a certified athletic trainer; have a minimum 2.50 GPA; secure first aid and CPR certification; successfully complete ATTR 15011, which includes an oral and written exam; secure staff evaluations and complete a self-administered evaluation; and complete an interview with the professional athletic training staff. After these requirements have been fulfilled, students may be selected for advancement into the professional phase of the program based upon their competitive rank using their GPA (15 percent), evaluation scores (40 percent), interview scores (20 percent) and ATTR 15011 written (10 percent) and oral (15 percent) practical exam scores. Those selected may enroll in ATTR 15092 during the following semester.
Students who are not accepted into the professional phase may reapply the following year by completing another preprofessional year. Due to the extensive clinical component associated with this program, students may reapply only once. Students who are not selected for the professional phase of this program will work with the program coordinator to identify alternate academic programs to pursue.
Students who have transferred to Kent State University must complete a directed observation period at Kent State prior to advancement into the professional phase of the program. Prompt commencement of the directed observation period is necessary as it will take a minimum of five semesters at Kent State to complete the clinical courses and experiences in the professional phase.
Clinical Experience
Once accepted into the professional athletic training education program, students will begin the formal clinical education courses. Directed clinical experiences and supervised field experiences also are required. Although most of these experiences will be at the university, off-campus high school and clinical sites also are required. These experiences will total 1,000 hours minimally and 1,200 hours maximally, partially accrued through clinical courses including practicum and internship, in no less than five semesters and no more than six semesters. Although the Ohio Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy and Athletic Trainers Board requires minimally 800 hours for licensure, completion of 1,000 clinical hours minimally is required for graduation from Kent State.
Students interested in this area of study will be advised by the athletic training program coordinator and should contact the program coordinator promptly to discuss the specific entrance, selection, health, technical standards and retention criteria in greater detail.
|Athletic trainers held about 17,000 jobs in 2006 and are found in every part of the country. Most athletic trainer jobs are related to sports, although an increasing number also work in nonsports settings. About 34 percent of athletic trainers worked in health care, including jobs in hospitals, offices of physicians, and offices of other health practitioners. Another 34 percent were found in public and private educational services, primarily in colleges, universities, and high schools. About 20 percent worked in fitness and recreational sports centers.

|Students admitted to the College of Education, Health, and Human Services as freshmen must have been fully admitted to the university. Admission to the college does not guarantee admission to a major and/or admission to professional coursework for a selective admission program. To be admitted directly into a teacher education program and Community Health, it is required that new freshmen have a 2.75 high school GPA and 16 units of college preparatory curriculum or a 21 ACT or 980 SAT score. Students who do not meet the GPA requirements of their intended major may enroll as pre-majors for selected programs or EHHS General until which time they have the required 2.75 GPA.
Students are admitted to health and human services programs and educational studies using the university admission criteria (see the Entering the University section of this Catalog), with the exception of the sport administration program, which requires a 2.75 high school GPA for entering freshmen and a 21 ACT or 980 SAT score.

USA Eagles captain Todd Clever turned down a lucrative offer with a European club to play Super 14 rugby for the Lions.
'Gaan binne, man,' Ashwin Willemse tells Todd Clever. The American laughs, nods his head and enters coach Loffie Eloff's office.
'The guys are all helping him to learn Afrikaans,' explains Eloff from behind his desk.
'I'm giving it my best effort, it's coming along,' says Clever. 'I can understand more than I can speak, but I'm able to count in Afrikaans and can also make the team calls. Ashwin has really helped me at places like the gym – picking up useful little phrases. The boys have also taught me how to say a couple of other things, when we've been out at night, but I probably shouldn't say any of them here!'
'The next thing you should know about him is his nickname,' interjects Eloff.
For the first and only time during our interview, Clever is no longer his usual confident self, and he scrambles to cover the dictaphone with his hand so that Eloff's revelation isn't recorded. 'It's Dozi,' says Eloff, 'the guy who sings "Ou Ryperd" – they look exactly the same!'
With his long locks, blue eyes, stubble and rock-star looks, Clever wouldn't be out of place on a stage, but he clearly isn't happy with the nickname.
'You guys only came up with it yesterday,' he says, 'so I hope it doesn't stick.' Somehow, I don't think that will be the case.
This interview is not taking the route Clever had hoped, and it's obvious he's here to talk rugby.
Voted the USA's Player of the Year in 2008, Clever is the captain of the Eagles and has earned 26 caps since making his debut against Argentina in 2003. The Palm Springs, California resident is also a stalwart of the US Sevens team, having missed only one tournament in five years on the IRB circuit.
Recently forced to choose between playing Premiership rugby in England or moving to Johannesburg to join the Lions, Clever's decision was never in doubt. While many players opt to head north to pick up a generous pay cheque from a willing club, Clever says financial incentives were never a factor for him. At 25, and with a hunger to experience the best level of competition possible, the 98kg, 1.93m loose forward made a purely rugby-based commitment.
'Before I came to the Lions at the end of last year, I was actually on my way to Europe,' says Clever, who refuses to say which club he was supposed to join because he still feels bad about bailing on them. 'I managed to hold that off for a bit, while others were speaking to the Lions on my behalf. The Lions really were fantastic in getting me here.'
Clever admits to wondering whether he'd made the right decision as he would have earned triple the salary he's getting at the Lions.
'Financially, it was the dumbest decision I've ever made,' he says. 'But I grew up watching Super Rugby, and when the opportunity arose to play in the competition, I took it. It was a goal of mine from the age of 14 and you can't put a price on reaching your goals.'
Clever insists that while he's achieved his aim of making a Super Rugby squad, he doesn't plan on being a passenger at the Lions. Importantly, Eloff believes his new signing has the ability to succeed in the Super 14.
'I've been watching him on the sevens circuit for a few years now, and he always looked like one of the more organised players,' says Eloff. 'His work-rate impressed me the most when I saw him play at the 2007 World Cup in France. I could see he was a little rough around the edges, but what he did, he did 200%.'
Eloff is pleased to have given an American the opportunity to play Super Rugby.
'It's a big thing for the game in the USA. Todd's under a bit of pressure, because how he performs could influence whether or not other Super Rugby coaches sign Americans in future. But I'm confident he will do well. This boy can play.'
Clever, though, isn't bothered.
'It's more about being proud of playing in this competition than anything else,' he says. 'There is no extra pressure on me to perform.'
The Lions' first-choice loose trio of captain Cobus Grobbelaar, Willem Alberts and Franco van der Merwe is a key component of the side because of their impact at the most eagerly contested area of the game – the breakdown. With former captain and flank Ernst Joubert set to return from injury, is there space for Clever in the Lions match 22, let alone the starting XV? Eloff believes that he does have a role to play.
'Todd's helluva fit and a quick player who can get around the park,' says the coach.
'We can play him at openside or blindside, as he's a good runner with the ball, so he brings some variety to the team. He's also an open guy who talks freely and his team-mates enjoy him, but his obvious task is to take responsibility for his job in the team and win a starting place.'
One thing that does concern Eloff is Clever's weight – or lack of it. 'I would like him to beef up in terms of muscle,' he says, referring to players like Schalk Burger and Rodney So'oialo who all weigh more than 100kg.
Clever may be the big dog in the USA pack, but he's a mere pup in the Lions set-up in terms of seniority. But this has not prevented him from contributing to the team or expressing his feelings when he thinks something needs to be said.
'In a way, everyone is a leader, so I'm comfortable voicing my concerns,' says Clever. 'Or if I want to add something, I'll bring it to the attention of the captain and coaches and it's up to them to decide whether they use it or not.'
Clever has already earned the respect of his team-mates because he came to South Africa with rugby – and not financial – goals in mind, takes nothing for granted and feels privileged to be in the Lions set-up.
'Sport has never been about money for me – maybe that will change in a couple of years, but right now I'm just soaking it all in. Whenever I had a chance to play for the US Sevens team, I always put on the jersey. No money can make up for the experience of joining your team-mates on a rugby field. I'm looking forward to the next experience with the Lions.'

Since 1984, everyone at Nidecker has had one common goal : to push the technological envelope of snowboarding. Our design team works closely with our professional riders and technology partners to develop state-of-the-art composite materials and design innovations. Our single-minded pursuit of excellence has allowed us to revolutionize snowboarding…over…and over…and over again. Join us on the cutting edge.
BRAND NEW THIS YEAR ! Following the 2005 invention of UG, the industry's first traction enhancer, Nidecker, always wanting to stay on the cutting edge, took the next step and developed the revolutionary ULTIMATE TRACTION (UT).
With UT, Nidecker's engineers have taken serrated edges to ano¬ther level. By strategically positioning five bumps along the board's effective edges instead of using a more conventional serration, we have created enhanced reactivity in all conditions. As a result, you will have more control of your board and way more fun !
Better grip anytime, anywhere.
More hold and less fatigue = better performance.
Extra edge control and more reactivity on any mountain.

Support Home > The CAPN > Technical Documents > 2h. Using Handheld GPSs to transfer Routes from The CAPN
Electronics Hookup and Configuration: GPX files and EasyGPS
In order to make The CAPN fully compatible with AIS receivers, the previous functions available for transferring routes to a handheld GPS needed to be abandoned. Truthfully, more and more of our customers are using The CAPN on commercial vessels, where AIS is a requirement - and route transfer is not.
Version 8.3.17 or Later
Starting with version 8.3.17, (available for free download) The CAPN now supports route storage in GPX format. This format is used by a wide variety of applications that can act as a "bridge" between The CAPN and the GPS.
To Export Routes from The CAPN into GPX:
1. Choose "Display or Export Routes" from the Routes Menu.
2. Press "Export all routes as GPX files."
3. Assuming The CAPN is installed in the default folder location, the routes will be in the following folder:
C:\Capn Voyager\Routes_In_GPX_Format\Exported on [today's date]
There are many applications that now support the GPX format. One we like the best (and its absolutely free) is EasyGPS - and available for free download at www.easygps.com. In EasyGPS (or other similar application) open the GPX file found in the folder described above, then transfer it to your GPS.
Garmin MapSource
Garmin's MapSource is also often used to transfer GPX files to its family of GPS receivers. Garmin MapSource can read .GPX files generated by The CAPN version 8.3.19 or later and transfer these routes to their family of popular GPS units.
Other GPX Applications
Here are a few other applications that support the GPX format and may be used in conjunction with The CAPN to transfer routes.
Please note that we have not tested any of these applications and can not guarantee their suitability.

Jonah's Gourd Vine
Jonah's Gourd Vine (Paperback)
Related Editions
Jonah's Gourd Vine, Zora Neale Hurston's first novel, originally published in 1934, tells the story of John Buddy Pearson, "a living exultation" of a young man who loves too many women for his own good. Lucy, his long-suffering wife, is his true love, but there's also Mehaley and Big 'Oman, as well as the scheming Hattie, who conjures hoodoo spells to ensure his attentions. Even after becoming the popular pastor of Zion Hope, where his sermons and prayers for cleansing rouse the congregation's fervor, John has to confess that though he is a preacher on Sundays, he is a "natchel man" the rest of the week. And so in this sympathetic portrait of a man and his community, Zora Neale Hurston shows that faith, tolerance, and good intentions cannot resolve the tension between the spiritual and the physical. That she makes this age-old dilemma come so alive is a tribute to her understanding of the vagaries of human nature.
About the Author
Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) was a novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist whose fictional and factual accounts of black heritage remain unparalleled. Her many books include Dust Tracks on a Road; Their Eyes Were Watching God; Jonah's Gourd Vine; Moses, Man of the Mountain; Mules and Men; and Every Tongue Got to Confess.
