Paul Rudd Is Still Foxy at '40′ – The Daily Swoon
'This is 40' is in theaters right now (go see it!), and it reminded us that we think Paul Rudd is pretty sexy at any age.
In the movie, Rudd and Leslie Mann (wife of writer/director Judd Apatow) reprise their roles as Pete and Debbie from 'Knocked Up' and play a married couple entering the big 4-0. The film is filled with honesty but still manages to find the humor and heart in every situation, and we like that no one seems like the bad guy.
Especially not our dear Paul Rudd, a guy we've been in love with since 'Clueless,' when Alicia Silverstone had to grapple with her weird feelings for him since he played her step-brother. Ugh, AS IF.
Rudd has continued to pop up in films with his easy-going charms and impeccable sense of humor. We really love him in movies like 'The 40 Year Old Virgin,' 'Wanderlust' and this year's 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower,' in which he played a teacher with a heart of gold. A HEART OF GOLD, guys. (Seriously, we can't even talk about that movie without needing a box of tissue and an hour of kitten videos on YouTube.)
Check out some photos of Paul Rudd below. We think he's just too damn charming to ignore.

First lady's obesity campaign not political
Politics comes into play when people like and approve the president and first lady. However, there are times when politics shouldn't be a part of it, and Editor Don Whitten writes that one of those times is when first lady Michelle Obama pushes her campaign to end childhood obesity.

Inbreeding is a very tricky subject and I understand your concern. Back when breeds were being made, inbreeding was necessary to be able to create and keep the standard of the breed until there were enough dogs around that created their own gene pools. However, now a days, inbreeding is not needed but some breeders continue to practice it within their own lines. I am a Newfoundland breeder myself and since I would not be comfortable having babies with my own father, I do not practice inbreeding in my lines.5/4/2015 10:12:53 AM
If I need to work on a specific trait, I will go and look for a stud or dam that possesses those traits and import him/her into my lines. It is up to you if you are comfortable purchasing a dog from this breeder. In a whole, the puppies should be fine if there is no other inbreeding in the lines of the dam and sire. That is where I would start first, to make sure there is no other inbreeding. If there is, that is a huge red-flag for me and I would walk and find a different reputable, responsible and knowledgeable breeder.5/4/2015 10:13:13 AM
If I was sure of what is back in my lines I might. You must know health in your lines very well. This has been done by several show kennels and can set the type but you must know what's back in those lines.5/29/2015 6:05:53 AM

Typically the male Newfoundland will be larger, but it all depends on the pedigree of the puppy as some lines run larger then others. A well bred puppy from temperament tested parents should have a great disposition, male or female. However, I have noticed with my lines of Newfoundlands that my males are more laid back and my females are more rambunctious. But again, that is for my lines only. As for price, a breeder will choose the price of his/her puppies based on the area they are in, the pedigree of the puppies and how much that litter cost to produce. The main thing for you is to find a reputable, responsible and knowledgeable breeder that you trust. 2/15/2015 10:20:05 AM
Yes, the coloration of the Newfoundlands is acceptable by AKC standards so you can have both the sire and dam of the litter to be both grey. But please remember that both dogs should have cleared all their health checks before they are bred to make sure you are giving that litter of pups the best genetic possibilities for his/her future.2/11/2015 11:47:29 AM
Newfoundland are extremely loyal to their families and they bond very quickly to their owners. Some Newfoundlands are quite hard to re-home, due to the fact that they really do seem to have broken hearts when/if their owner's have to give them up. While other's seem to do fine once they get used to the new family. The main thing to do is if you decide to bring an adult Newfoundland into your home is to do as much fun activities with your new fur-baby as possible. Doing a round of obedience courses is a great idea, as it will help solidify your new bond. Of course, be patient and allow your new Newfie to adjust to his/her new surroundings before you bring lots of family/friends over. The Newfoundland breed is an amazing breed, whether you get a puppy, an adult or a senior, they will bond with you eventually, but it can take some time if the dog is more sensitive.4/29/2014 1:55:09 PM
Newfoundlands can do well in warm - hot weather as long as they have three things. 1. Their coat is brushed out properly, not shaved - never shave a Newfoundland. When their coat is brushed out properly, they aren't carrying any extra fur from winter. 2. Have a good water source, which includes drinking water and a kiddie pool is also a great thing to have. It'll keep the Newfie cool and they can splash around and have some fun in it too. 3. Shade. Make sure that there is a shaded area for your Newfoundland to relax in. It's even better if the kiddie pool is in the shade as well.4/29/2014 1:51:37 PM
Warm and low humidity is fine with shade but hot and high humidity is a killer. Heat stroke can and does happen to these dogs.5/29/2015 6:00:23 AM
Have you contacted or checked with your vet? You know that puppies in general still cannot fully see (other than blurred shadows), even after their eyes open at about 14 days. It can take another 7 to 10 days after opening for puppies to begin seeing well. If it has been longer than that I would go to the vet ASAP. Could be that they have some type of eye infection that may need ointment or medication for. Hope this helps. 1/14/2014 12:00:37 PM

Newfies will hit their full ht and wgt in 3 yrs.Take her out, but you don't have to exercize her too much.*They're mostly couch potatoes!12/17/2012 4:28:41 PM
Newfoundlands do not reach full maturity until they are 3-4 years old. At 2 years old, your dog is basically at the height she will be at for the rest of her life, but she will still fill out until she is 3 or even 4 years old. The average Newfoundland weight for females can range from 100 lbs - 160 lbs, depending on the breeder, the linage of the dog, what you feed her and of course, how much exercise she gets. Newfoundlands need about 1 hour of exercise a day, swimming is the best exercise you can give her, as it is low stress on her joints. Walking on leash is great for them as well, and off leash parks are fun for them too. But never force your Newfoundland to run, if they are off leash, they will run at the pace that is comfortable for them. As for winter, she will grow her winter coat naturally. You can prepare her coat by making sure you brush your dog on a daily, or bi-daily (every 2 days) basis. Her body will adjust to the cold and grow her winter fur naturally.4/29/2014 2:00:35 PM

I had a St Bernard who ate 20 Cups of dry food a day - as an adult when done growing he ate about 14 cups per day. He weighed 140 so maybe that would be about the same for a Newfie4/27/2014 11:33:32 PM
The amount of food a Newfoundland should eat each day will depend on the quality of the food you feed. I have 5 Newfoundlands and they eat a high quality grain-free dog food. They are all adults and eat 4 cups of food every day, two in the morning and two at night. But, if I were to feed them a basic, Wal-Mart store bought dog food, they would have to eat an average of 9 cups of food a day to get the same nutritional value. Remember that Newfoundlands, like all dogs, are carnivores. Your local pet store should carry an abundant supply of grain-free dog foods for you to choose from. They do cost more per bag, but you will use less in feeding, so the food will actually last longer.4/29/2014 2:03:49 PM

well a male newife should be about 20-50 pounds.
We have a 4 mos old Newfie female and our vet is concerned about how underweight she is at 40.8 lbs! We must increase her meals and have her gain at least twenty to thirty pounds in the next four months.
She is an holistic vet and suggested we increase her protein (meat: chicken, pork, beef, etc.) and feed her three to four times per day. We feed her a grain free diet as well. Difficult when working!
Good luck! 1/1/2013 7:12:50 PM
We got our first female Newfoundland at 11 weeks and she was about 32 pounds. She gained almost exactly 2.5 pounds every WEEK from then on, until about 11 months. At 12 months her weight gain slowed a lot, but she continued to gain at a steady pace until her 2nd birthday, when she weighed in at her adult weight of 132 pounds (yes she is big for a female, but has the height and length to support the weight). Now a male can grow and/or get another 15 to 25 pounds larger than our female. But Newfoundlands should never really gain more than 3 pounds per week. Because the bones and joint development cannot keep up proportionately if they gain too much too fast. And that is bad for a Newfie...carrying too much weight for their size is bad on hips, elbows, and all other joint development. Each dog will vary some, but a 5 month old male on average should be about 55 to 65 pounds I believe. 1/23/2014 2:53:16 PM
I am a Newfoundland breeder and I get this question all the time. Every Newfoundland is going to be different, as an individual will weigh the average of what it's linage weighs. Different breeder's will have different sized Newfoundlands, depending on if they care about the weight of their dogs are not. On average though, a 5 month old male Newfoundland pup should weigh anywhere between 50-65 lb. My most recent litter was back in December and so the pups will be 4 months old on the 30th of April. The average male from that litter weighs in at 40-50 lbs. So they are right on track on where they should be weight wise. But please remember, your vet is your friend and he/she can tell you how your puppy is doing. Some puppies need to be kept leaner, while other's need a little extra food. A lean Newfoundland is a healthy Newfoundland. In keeping your Newfoundland lean, you are lowering the risk of joint problems later on in his life.4/29/2014 2:09:36 PM
Newfoundlands are amazing apartment dogs! I was concerned about that too even after reading that it was fine, but five years later and our Newfie, Kuma, is completely happy in our apt. I say go for it! 8/2/2012 1:34:28 PM
Not a problem. Newfoundland dogs are amazing. It would be your lost if you didn't have one in your life in any situation. I've had several large breeds in my life. Though I missed every one of my companions, hands down this one is the best companion. And I only had her 10 months.11/29/2012 4:36:37 PM
Newfoundlands can easily live in an apartment as long as their daily needs are met. The Newfoundland needs about an hour of exercise a day. While swimming is the best exercise for a Newfoundland, as it is low-stress on their joints, the park sounds amazing. A nice easy 10 minute walk and then 40 minutes of off leash play time with other dogs/yourself and other people and then an easy 10 minute walk back home is perfect. The only thing you need to remember is that with apartments, especially during the summer and winter, heat rises. So make sure your Newfoundland has a way of staying cool in the summer, you can freeze a damp towel in the freezer and let him/her lay on it. Or have ice-cubes in the water dish. For the winter, people tend to try and keep their home as warm as possible, but a Newfoundland still need to be able to keep cool. So if you have a patio/deck, setting up a nice bed out there where your Newfie can cool off will make a very happy Newfie.4/29/2014 2:14:10 PM
The best answer is time. Keep walking the dog on a leash by the cat and telling them no.It may take a couple of onths or it still might not work. You can also pet the cat and leave the smell on your hands and then pet the dog on his face so that it gets a scent. Still it's going to dend on the dog 1/28/2013 11:33:13 AM
What you need to look into is what we trainer's call - Counter Conditioning. Using positive reinforcement training such as clicker or marker training will stop your undesired behavior and in turn, make a happier dog. Contact a local positive reinforcement trainer, or look up Dr. Yin's low-stress-handling work if you feel you can work with your dog on your own. In the mean time, remove the dog or cat from the situation when you are unable to supervise. Have the dog in a crate, outside or in a designated dog area. Or, move the cat into a room with a closed door so that you do not have to worry while you are away.4/29/2014 2:17:50 PM
Yes they do! Newfoundlands love their families so much they will do anything to protect them. Their size alone is a deterrent, the first time my Newfie Fonzy met the pizza delivery man I got a free pizza because he wouldn't come up the stairs near Fonzy, he just put the pie on my car and left.8/10/2012 12:32:51 PM
The term - Watch Dog - means that the dog will alert the owner when something comes onto the property. So in that term, yes, the Newfoundland does make a good watch dog. My 5 Newfoundlands sure tell me if someone is coming up the drive-way. But the term - Guard Dog- refer's to a dog that will not allow anyone to come onto the property and use force, such as barking and biting. In that sense, the Newfoundland is not a good guard dog. Although the size of the dog alone will stop most intruder's, unless the Newfoundland feels that his/her owner is threatened, the dog should be gentle and friendly towards a stranger. The Newfoundland, however, can be trained like any other dog to stop people from coming onto your property, or to be aggressive towards people when you use a specific command, such as in personal protection dogs. But I do not recommend a Newfoundland if you want a P.P.D. Newfoundlands were not bred for P.P, they were bred for water rescue and to be a member of the family.4/29/2014 2:24:55 PM
My Newfoundland loves everyone. A watchdog as far as just "watching" would apply to them but guard dog, NO. They would be happy to escort the intruder around.5/29/2015 6:11:38 AM
Recently rescued a 15 month Newfi same problem. Changed his diet to Wellness grain free. Problem solved6/27/2012 6:46:51 AM
Newfoundlands are prone to skin problems. I had a top breeder /water (champion dogs/water rescue dogs) recommend giving a newf with similar itchy dry patches a individual size plain yogurt every day as yeast is typically the underlying problem. after a couple weeks it should be mostly cleared up.3/24/2014 10:27:31 AM
Newfoundlands are pron to issues of this sort. There are several things you can do. 1. Change your dog food to a high-quality grain free dog food. 2. Rise your dog after she goes to the lake as duck-itch could be your problem. 3. Use hydrocortisone cream on the area that has the sores 2-3 times a day. 4. Use Head & Shoulder's shampoo when you bathe your dog. This help with the dry skin. A vet check should be on your list as well, as dogs can get skin issues such as mange from other dogs if she comes in contact with them or gets the bacteria from the area where she swims.4/29/2014 2:30:08 PM
I've never had this problem. Newfies have an oily coat. Are you sure this isn't yeast flakes on skin. There are some lines that have problems more.5/29/2015 6:14:16 AM
Hi My name is GiGi and my dog is Guinness who is a almost three year old ausssie mix, who does exactly what you described in your question did you get any good answers?
Try to get your dog to heal behind you before they see the other dog. Don't react to the other dog, just keep walking. Newfs do have a a protective quality so again it may be tough. Use a harness on the walk. it is easier to control the dog1/28/2013 11:39:09 AM
The first thing you need to do is to contact your 'breeder', Newfoundlands do have a protective nature, but they shouldn't be flat out aggressive. He was either poorly socialized, mistreated or badly bred. Or a combination of the three somehow. Second, get a Halti. You will now have control of your dog's head and you will be able to work with him better by keeping his attention on you and not another dog. Use positive reinforcement training, such as clicker or marker training to work with him around other dogs now. Contact a local positive reinforcement trainer or look up Dr. Yin's low-stress handling work online if you feel you can work with your dog on your own. 4/29/2014 2:34:02 PM
If you teach newfoundlands at a young age they will swim.7/5/2012 10:19:54 AM

Newfoundlands are amazing swimmer's. But, just like people, some love to swim and some don't. This all depends on how they are introduced to the water and if they get anything positive out of the experience. If your Newfoundland loves the water, but doesn't like to swim, using positive reinforcement techniques such as clicker or marker training can help you teach your Newfoundland to swim. I've found some Newfie's take to the water as puppies, while other's don't start to swim until they are 2-3 years old. But as I said, every dog is different.4/29/2014 2:36:05 PM

You have to remember a newfoundlands coat also protects them from the sun. Never go too short.
The Newfoundlands fur is not made to be shaved off. Some dogs seems to be alright and their fur grows back normally, while other's don't grow back at all. I would never suggest shaving your Newfoundland unless it is an absolute necessarity. The coat of the Newfoundland, if properly brushed out will keep the dog cool, protect it from the sun and be resistant to water as it was made for when kept long during the summer. The Newfoundland can over-heat, so a kiddie pool, water and shade is the best way to keep your dog cool during the warm months. As I said, some Newfoundlands fur grows back and some doesn't. I've seen Newfoundlands who's fur never grew back, and some it took nearly 3 years to fully grow back. Please be cautious. 4/29/2014 2:40:32 PM
I had a border collie chow mix.. she hardley ever streached... but was always ready to go with me.. I would not worry about it.. unless you notice her having joint pains .. then still may not be the cause..if you see any problems with her joints see your vet.. outherwise,,, dogs have their own ways to care for themselves3/15/2013 8:51:20 PM
The Newfoundland's average life span is 8-10 years, sometimes shorter, and sometimes longer, depending on the breeder/linage of the dog. While the Border Collie lives an average life span of 12 years. Meaning that at 6 years old, your dog is bordering on being a senior. In which case, joint pain could be a factor in your dog not stretching. But if you do not feel/see any stiffness, pain or problems then I wouldn't be worried about it.4/29/2014 2:43:34 PM
I feed my my newfie 2 cups of dry food and a half a can of wet food a day, a few milk bones for treats.... he eats the same as my 60 pound pit. 5/28/2012 1:50:09 PM
The amount of food a Newfoundland should eat each day will depend on the quality of the food you feed. I have 5 Newfoundlands and they eat a high quality grain-free dog food.

New-fund-land (not "found"). Although Nana was a Newf in the books, other dogs are used in the movies.5/23/2012 12:39:46 PM
yes nanna was a newfoundland and that is my newfoundland's name lol also in my state we pronounce it newfinland or newfie10/23/2012 10:27:48 PM
The name Newfoundland is pronounced several ways, depending on your accent. But basically, the name is pronounced - New-Fund-Land. As well, the original Peter Pan dog, Nana, was a Newfoundland. Although in more recent films, the dog is portrayed as a St. Bernard.4/29/2014 2:49:28 PM
In a general sense, all animals die from health reasons. A responsible and reputable breeder will do everything he/she can to make sure his/her puppies are free of genetic issues such as hip/elbow dysplasia, cystinuria (a hereditary defect that forms calculi stones in the bladder), and subvalvular aortic stenosis (SAS). But health issues can be brought on by poor diet, being over-weight, un-exercised, over-exercised, ect. Even if you do everything right, sometimes a Newfoundland is going to have a health problem, whether or not it is the breeder's fault, the linage's fault or the owner's fault. In my personal experience, I've seen Newfoundlands die of the health issues I listed above, other health issues, such as cancer's, and of old age. I can not say that every Newfoundland dog has/will die from an underlying health reason, but I can say that most dogs, regardless of the breed will pass away or have to be put down because of an underlying health reason.4/29/2014 2:57:19 PM
Newfoundlands are pron to joint issues if they gained weight too quickly as puppies, are over-weight as adults, were over-exercised or under-exercised. The best thing to do is to take your dog to the vet and allow your vet to give you a prognosis. Most likely it will be pain killers, anti-inflammatory medication and to keep the dog in a low-stress exercise program for the rest of his/her life.4/29/2014 3:07:23 PM
Maybe it was the norwegian duck trolling retriever. Did it have a reddish coat and nose?6/7/2012 11:56:51 AM
I would guess that the owner got the name of his/her dog incorrect. Unless the dog was a mix-breed between the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and the Newfoundland, it most likely was a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. The N.S.D.T.R is a medium sized red/orange colored dog with either a brown or pink nose. They are lively and very friendly dogs that are amazing at obedience, agility, hunting and swimming.4/29/2014 3:09:54 PM
8 to 10 yrs is normal, but Newfs can live to be as old as 14. Keep them at a healthy weight, feed them a premium food for large breeds, see your vet often, keep up with the monthly flea,tick and heartworm meds, give them plenty of exercise and most of all all your love!! 4/3/2012 2:27:44 PM
The average live span of a Newfoundland dog is anywhere between 6-10 years. But some can live as long as 14-15 years. The life-span of a dog has many variables, such as; linage, how much the puppy/dog is exercised as a puppy/dog, weight and diet. To get the most things on your side, get a Newfoundland from a responsible and reputable breeder that does all health checks, feed your Newfie a high-quality grain-free dog food, keep your Newfie lean, do not over-exercise your dog; do as much low-stress exercise as possible, ie: swimming. As well as get your dog yearly or even bi-yearly check ups at a vet and do all necessary vaccinations for your area.4/29/2014 3:15:19 PM
All of our Newfies but one loved, but our Landseer, Shelley, would only go in to please us. It just didn't interest her at all. Different Strokes for Different Newfs, perhaps? Let her be herself. I don't like the water either and another of our Newfs knew it. If I went in the water she whimpered until I came out!9/12/2012 2:31:33 PM

They get hot quickly. My newfie prefers to lie on kitchen the bathroom floor because our house is carpeted all over. It could be that he's a little timid because he's in a new place as well. 3/16/2012 11:51:54 AM
First of all, I hope there were extenuating circumstances as to why the breeder gave up that puppy at such an early age! A good breeder would NEVER do that. In response to your question, Newfies are very hot natured. They can overheat quickly due to their double coat. 72 may be comfortable to you, but if you want to see what it feels like to your new best friend, try putting on your winter jacket (complete with hat, scarf and gloves). Newfies can never be cool enough. Remember this when you pick times for exercise! It is important to exercise only in the mornings and late evening when it is cooler. Also make sure Atlas has plenty of water to drink when he is outside or exercising. If Atlas is part Newfie, I can assure you he loves you and wants all your attention! He's just uncomfortable and very young. Too young to be away from his mom and littermates. cont'd4/3/2012 2:23:09 PM
I suggest keeping him inside until he's had at least 2 sets of shots to help build up his immunity. He's very suceptible to parvo and other life threatening diseases right now. Hope this helps. Good luck!4/3/2012 2:24:22 PM
i got my newfie pup at six weeks old because thats when he was weaned they do overheat quickly being a puppy they can be very enerjetic but this will calm down with age as my 3 yr old newfie is very content10/23/2012 10:34:09 PM
As 'beatuftifulnewfies' said, your puppy is too young to have left it's mother. Puppies, especially giant breed dogs need to be with their mother's until they are at least 8 weeks old, if not 9,10,11, or even 12 weeks. They need this time to socialize with their litter-mates, mother and other dogs/animals to learn how to be dogs. Keep him indoors/in a secured area until he's had at least his 2 sets of shots, if not his 3rd as well. For your question, yes, he's too warm. He needs a cooler place for him to be if you want to cuddle him that much. Taking a damp towel and putting it in the freezer, then allowing him to lay on it will help him cool off easier. Being a Newfie, he wants your love and attention, but he is just too warm. Even at 72 degree's, he could over-heat and get ill. A kiddie pool in the shade outside, and ice cubes in his water dish will help him cool off.4/29/2014 3:22:17 PM
I had a Newfie and they are the sweetest dogs you can find. They pretty much get along with every dog, but if your dog is challenging them they will not heisitate to snap at them. I also had a smaller dog that used to try and wrestle with the newfie. They newfie tried to swallow her head so try to keep that in mind.3/12/2012 11:00:52 AM
Always research the breed you are interested in. Yes, newfoundlands are wonderful dogs, I would never have anything else. Remember, they love water and will be in it every chance they get, clean or dirty. You cannot bathe a newf all the time it drys out the oil on their coats. They drool ALOT, I have drop towels around my house. They make a HUGE mess when they drink, they slober on guest, they shed alot and their coat needs almost daily grooming that takes time with the double coat. If you can live with this and embrace it, it is a very small price for the love and companionship of a newf.6/7/2012 12:04:55 PM
I had the same problem with my newfie. Try to find a Newfoundland rescue in your area. If you have no luck try to network with your friends. There is always someone out there looking for a friend.3/12/2012 11:03:11 AM
If you were anywhere near Omaha, NE, my gorgeours, fixed, female Newfoundland would love another big lout around i'm sure, but you could try with the big Paws rescue group to ensure a proper check is done of the environment since most people don't know how much of a responsibility they are with their coats, lifted bed requirements, glucosamine for limber joints and walking necessities.3/22/2012 4:25:49 AM
As an owner of a 5yr old neutered male newfie, a 3yr old spayed female newfie, and most recently a 7 months old neutered male rescue newfie from a wonderful giant breed rescue - my best advice to you would be to check out the Newfoundland Club of America website for GREAT info on newfie and newfie puppies! THere is likely also a newfoundland club for your region. These clubs are terrific resources for all your questions. And yes - adult, high quality dog food even for the puppy that has the right proportions of nutrients is very important for their growing years. Also - a 7 week old puppy should stay just a couple more weeks with their mother if possible. This early time with mom really helps teach puppy socialization skills like bit inhibition (how not to bite hard) and also how not to play too rough with it's siblings among other things. All important things when your puppy is almost 80 pounds at 6 months old! Good luck!!2/26/2012 5:47:38 PM
Seven weeks is pretty young. If you can leave your Newfie with her mom and litter mates for another couple of weeks it would be better. Feed her a good kibble made specifically for large breed pups. I use Innova. Stay away from "grocery store" brands. Main thing is low calcium content, like 1.2% or less. As for walks, sure, they can walk! Just keep it easy at first and work your way up. 2/26/2012 5:56:44 PM
It might take 2 weeks for all animals in a new enviorment to adjust. My newf is 2 and still chases the cats on ocassion. But number one they DROOL. It isnt something that you can have stop. When happy When hungry When exhausted they drool and then shake their head. The drool flies about 2 -3 feet from where they are standing. We carry a towel at all times at the Vets or taking him to visit ball fields or friends. 2/18/2012 10:24:43 AM
He should get along well... Best of luck!!2/18/2012 4:43:56 PM

OXFORD, Ohio – Keeping up a steady attack throughout the game, the Miami University field hockey team finally broke through with a pair of goals in the final 10 minutes to defeat Central Michigan, 2-0, and win the Mid-American Conference Tournament Championship for the second consecutive year on Saturday. The RedHawks earn an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history.
Junior back Ali Froede was named the MAC Tournament MVP after leading a Miami defense that allowed only one goal the entire tournament. She was joined on the MAC All-Tournament Team by senior forward Alyssa Logan, sophomore midfielder Bea Dechant and freshman midfielder Carla Romagosa.
For the game, the RedHawks outshot the Chippewas, 18-2. CMU did not record its first shot until the 59th minute, one that senior goalkeeper Sarah Mueller was able to easily kick away. Its only other shot came late in the game that went wide.
Despite Miami controlling possession the majority of the contest, Central Michigan played extremely tough defense, not allowing the 'Hawks many quality scoring chances. Despite getting five penalty corner attempts in the first half, Miami was only able to create six shot attempts during the scoreless period.
The RedHawks were able to get on the board in the 61st minute. On their ninth penalty corner of the game, senior forward Emily Gruesser sent the ball into senior back Sid Marcum. She passed it to Dechant on the right side of the circle, who then made a move to avoid her defender and put the ball into the back of the net to give Miami a 1-0 lead.
Scoring the goal forced the Chippewas to take more chances offensively, and the RedHawks took advantage. Earning another penalty corner in the 66th minute, Froede found Logan deep in the circle. Logan's eighth goal of the season clinched the tournament championship for the 'Hawks.
Logan led Miami with five shots, while Gruesser had four. The RedHawks finished with a 10-1 penalty corner advantage.
Miami will learn its NCAA Tournament fate on Sunday at 10 p.m. when the selection show airs on NCAA.com. The RedHawks will likely be placed in one of the NCAA Play-In games, which for the first time are considered part of the NCAA Tournament.

GSA to centralize oversight of IT, HR after top-to-bottom review
Wednesday - 9/12/2012, 6:01am EDT
The General Services Administration is taking dramatic action to centralize and add more oversight to technology and human resources functions across the agency.
Dan Tangherlini, GSA's acting administrator, will tell the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Wednesday that his three-part, five- month review of the agency found opportunities for better performance and efficiencies, according to his testimony obtained exclusively by Federal News Radio. GSA Inspector General Brian Miller also is scheduled to testify before the Senate committee.
Tangherlini wants to consolidate all three chief information officer offices into one, and all the human resources functions into the chief people officer's offices. These reforms are what have come from the top-to-bottom review in the aftermath of the conference spending scandal.
Dan Tangherlini, acting administrator, General Services Administration
"We have proposed to change the current decentralized structure and improved CIO accountability and oversight," Tangherlini is expected to tell the committee. "Importantly, centralization of the CFO and the CIO were both crucial reforms that were recommended by the IG."
Tangherlini already announced the centralization of the CFO functions under the headquarters office, led by acting CFO Gary Grippo, and out of the regional offices. His written testimony states headquarters will be responsible for spending and budgeting decisions as well as offer another level of oversight to where and how GSA spends its money.
In addition to IT and budgeting, Tangherlini is putting all the hiring decisions in the Chief People Officer Office, led by Tony Costa.
"Consolidation of hiring responsibilities will increase visibility into hiring decisions and increase efficiencies by eliminating current redundancy within the various organizations within GSA," Tangherlini's testimony states. "We have also focused on the current implementation of the telework policy, and the strength of the business cases to support virtual employees. I have strengthened our telework policy to ensure the program's cost-effectiveness and to make certain that there is a strong business case for employees who work from home full time."
Tangherlini said "shortly he will notify Congress" of these changes.
In addition to administrative changes, GSA's Federal Acquisition Service will consider how best to lower its fees.
Tangherlini will tell senators that GSA is "convening an interagency working group to review and develop recommendations on the overall fee structure for the schedules program."
Post-scandal fallout
These changes are the latest of several that emerged after GSA's Inspector General detailed Public Building Service's Western Regions conference excesses in April. The scandal led to the resignation of GSA Administrator Martha Johnson and the firing of PBS Commissioner Bob Peck and senior advisor Stephen Leeds.
Along with the consolidation of the CFO, CIO and CPO offices, Tangherlini gave oversight of all agency conference spending to the chief administrative officer's office, led by Cynthia Metzler. He also froze hiring, cut back travel and cancelled 47 conferences.
GSA said earlier this month it saved $11 million from these changes. The agency also said it will save another $5.5 million from reducing subscriptions to print publications, moving to the Web a paper-based survey for GSA Public Buildings Service tenants and several other initiatives.
"As we plan for fiscal year 2014 and beyond, we will be using the data from the Top-to-Bottom Review to identify additional reforms that will provide increased transparency into the agency's operations, reduce costs, and increase efficiency," Tangherlini's testimony states. "
In the long term, Tangherlini said GSA will focus on:
- Increasing its ability to achieve savings for the federal agencies that it
- Simplifying and streamlining the delivery of core services;
- Ensuring consistency in how GSA operates across the country;
- Establishing clear lines of authority, and
- Making the most of the talent at GSA.
He said GSA will develop the specifics of these long-term reforms in the coming months, but all should be based on three principles.
Tangherlini said GSA needs to better serve its customers by removing organizational barriers and applying the best people and resources from anywhere within the agency to meet those needs.
He said the second principle focuses on reducing administrative costs throughout the 11 regions.
"The resources currently allocated to potentially redundant activities could be captured as savings or, where appropriate, invested in improving service to agencies and performance outcomes," he states.
The final principle is using data to improve the performance of agencies. Tangherlini said GSA will use data to save money, make performance evaluations more transparent to employees and yield better outcomes for the government.

Jordan Hill just re-signed with the Lakers.
Jordan Hill just re-signed with the Lakers.
being the Lakers gm must be the easiest job in the world.
Source says restricted free agent Greg Stiemsma has an offer sheet above the Celtics qualifying offer. Stiemsma evaluating his options.
Wonder who the team is if its not Twolves,I know Portland needs a Center too and Rockets but money may be tied up in Asik
Hope we pass on him.
Jerry Zgoda: Stiemsma's agent said his client received an offer from another team that they're weighing while discussions with Wolves continue Twitter
Doesn't mean the TWolves won't offer more, but the reported offer seems to be from someone else.
Someone please explain to me what is going on with Jodie Meeks. 24 years old, played in all of the Sixers games last year, starting 50. Good 3 point shooter, exceptional free throw shooter. I would love to pick him up, seems to be the type of guy that is right in our wheel house.
Outside team offer?
Nice hope its us for once. Tho i wonder why he hasn't signed it? Must be trying to use whoever to leverage a higher offer from the wolves.
Am I the only person who doesn't really want Steisma? I'm not interested in signing anyone (thats left) for longer than a one year contract.
We could easily have around $20 million next offseason, I'm ok giving some of that up for the piece of mind knowing we have bigs like Anderson, Davis, Smith and Stiesma locked up. All depends on the size of the deal I guess.
Just a little tidbit I found that mentions us.
Who would be able to afford Howard next summer if he is an UFA. Dallas, Houston, anyone else?
Larry Coon
Here's a team that always seems to fly just under the radar, and when all is said and done, people wonder "Where did they come from?" San Antonio potentially can have close to enough cap room to make it interesting.
Other teams that could have enough space: Atlanta, Cleveland, Houston, Minnesota, Phoenix, Utah. Maybe Detroit, Milwaukee & New Orleans.
Stiesma would be a great pickup if we got him for low backup center prices.
I could see him filling the nick collision role quite well for us. We need role players as well as our stars.
Jerry Zgoda @JerryZgoda
Timberwolves and Greg Stiemsma agree on contract terms
One less big available.
Why be a backup for a rebuilding team when he can be a backup for a contending team. That thinking is very common among most players in the league. Plus he may more PT with the Bulls since they don't have a legit starting SG.
Things have been very underwhelming since the Jack trade. Disappointing is an understatement.
It's too damn quiet on the Hornets front. Nothing but speculation and rumors of moves. What are you planning, Supervillain?
I hate trading Jack as much as anyone, I wish we had received at least a second in that deal. But as Dell has said in the past, he's not always trying to win every deal, you have to look at the big picture.
This offseason, Dell has traded the remaining $43 million of Ariza and OKafor's deals, all of Jacks $5.5 million, he resigned Eric Gordon, drafted Davis, Rivers and Miller, S&T for Ryan Anderson, and counting Miller, brought us three second round picks we didn't have before. And because of this, we could have around $20 million next offseason we woudln't have otherwise had.
We are losing these players for one reason and one reason only. We refuse to guarentee money beyond this season. And as frustrating as that is to us fans, that is the right move.
He could have tried to get Brand, but he didn't. This roster isn't set and he could sign a couple of players to one year deals to fill some holes.
Re: Stiemsma signing -- wonder if that means they'll be less likely to retain Pekovic next off-season.
We still have months here before the season starts. Last time we got impatient we got Ryan Anderson out of nowhere.
Doesn't matter. Our starting four and five are already on board.
The Hornets probably put in a call to Brand and he could have said 'Uh, yeah, I don't want to play for you guys.' It is what it is. I don't get why so many people are disappointed or still expected even moderate deals at this point. I'd say the team is pretty much set going into this season.
Do you know how many teams would kill to have four young prospects like Davis, Rivers, Gordon (funny to call him a prospect but he still has to string a full season together), and Anderson? Come on, people. The off-season has been phenomenal and people are getting emo because we aren't signing some middling/crap role players.
Wonder why no one is talking about TWill, Terrence Williams? :huh2:Could definitely help fit as the athletic guard/forward we are looking for and showed with minutes he can play in Sacramento
Belli close to Bullage...
The Bulls appear close to signing free agent guard Marco Belinelli, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Snohomish principal helps build Dominican school
Jan Haeg/Courtesy Lifetouch
Tammy Jones (right) said she used rudimentary tools on her volunteer work building a school in the Dominican Republic. Jones, the principal at Riverview Elementary School in Snohomish, volunteered in December for Lifetouch Memory Mission.
Jan Haeg/Courtesy Lifetouch
Jones said the people of the Dominican Republic were very friendly.
Jan Haeg/Courtesy Lifetouch
Volunteers were teachers, principals, and superintendents from schools all across the United States.
Jan Haeg/Courtesy Lifetouch
Jones (far left) helps other volunteers during the construction of a school in the Dominican Republic.

The elementary school's second floor under construction.
She wasn't there to enjoy sunny fun on the beach.
She was there to help build an elementary school.
Jones was one of 50 school administrators and teachers who went to the town of Constanza from Dec. 3 to 13. The trip was organized by Lifetouch, a national company that takes school and church pictures.
"It was incredible. There aren't many words to describe it," Jones said.
Jones said her group had to drive 4½ hours to get to the school. She saw people living in cars and cardboard houses, but they smiled and made friends with the volunteers.
Jones was selected in a drawing she entered through the National Association of Elementary School Principals in April. She considers herself lucky because she was picked on the first try. She says she's heard of people waiting for years to be selected.
Lifetouch has been organizing these projects since 2000. All other schools built have been in Haiti. This is the first school being built in the Dominican Republic, corporate vice president Kelvin Miller said. Last year, volunteers built the first floor. This year, they added a second story to the school.
About 300 students are expected to attend the school, he said.
The organization took pictures of the volunteers and they also transmitted webcam conversations between the volunteers and their students back home.
"It was a cross-cultural experience," Miller said.
Since it was a remote area, the volunteers had to use rudimentary tools to get the work done.
Jones had to mix concrete and mortar using a shovel. Since there was no running water, the volunteers had to carry water in buckets and with pulleys, she said.
Besides helping build the school, Jones brought with her $2,800 in school and medical supplies collected by her students and former students.
Jones said she would do it again if possible.
"All of us came back changed. I received a lot more than what I gave," she said.

So I finally got around to replacing the fan and repairing/replacing the traces with 22ga solid core and nice clean solder points.
Still nothing... No fan, no wire, no gas... Nothing.
- I have (confirmed) 240v coming into welder
- The board has 120v in several locations
- I checked both poles on the main switch and they checked out OK (I have 240v model)
- Checked the GFI style breaker on the back and its OK (obviously if board has power too)
- no other visual irregularities on the board to my knowledge, but most electrical failures cannot be visually checked.
I will do a search for the diagram and try to track down the weak link, but I figured I would post up anyways. Anyone have a link to the 240v model diagram?
Other thoughts?
Did you check to see if you had 230 volts to the fan motor on the 2 black wires?Kevin Schuh

I will check that tonight and post back up. Where do the two black wires going to the fan motor originate from? If these do not have 230v, what are the potential failure points between the 230v main power into the case and the black wires at the fan besides the main switch?
The 2 black leads are fed from the control board, RC1 pins 1 and 5. If the switch is good the only other thing that could interupt the power is an open trace on the board itself.Kevin Schuh

Okay so checked the voltage to the fan...
- First black wire to ground is 120v.
- Second black wire to ground is 120v.
- Zero across the two black but I expect that is normal as they are both positive. Correct?
- Checked the fan resistance again and got 45.6 ohm across black and 5.4 ohm across white.
So if the fan gets 230v why dies it still not function? I assume the two white wires power the fan? Thoughts from here?
OK, we don't test to ground (chassis) generally and not in this case....
Black to black (thats the fan circuit), power switch on should be 230vac
White to white ( control voltage) power switch on must be 24Vac
There are NO positive/ neg circuits in AC Voltage

On your traces you fried, make sure that RC1-1 goes to RC1-4 and RC3-12
And RC1-5 goes throgh to RC3-7

- Rejoice! You now have the Groovy-Eclipse plugin installed.
From Zip Archive
It is possible to access a zip archive that can be expanded into your eclipse installation. We do not recommend this approach, but it is sometimes required. The zip is available here;
Create a Groovy Project
To create a basic Groovy project in Eclipse perform the following steps:
- Open the Java perspective
- Click on the new Groovy Project icon:
- The new project wizard for Groovy uses most of the same options as the new project wizard for Java.
- Fill in the appropriate details and create the project..
So far you should have a src folder, a bin-groovy folder, and several libraries. There is also a bin folder that was created by Eclipse, but is hidden due to exclusion filters. The next steps are needed to make the bin-groovy folder the default output folder, and to connect it to the src folder so that the debugger will know where to find the associated source and classes:
- In the Package Explorer, right click on the "GroovyJava" project, and select: Build Path -> Configure Build Path
- Select the Source tab and then use the Browse button to change the Default Output Folder from bin to bin-groovy
- Press OK, OK
This will expose the bin folder in the Package Explorer. I'm not sure why the plugin creates a bin-groovy directory. Perhaps there are other "bin" files that are best kept separate from the Groovy classes, or perhaps one of the original versions of Eclipse didn't create a "bin" directory automatically. Some day when someone has a clear idea of the usefulness of this, or lack thereof, we can clean up my instructions.
Developer Resources
This section is for those who want to do development work on the Eclipse plugin. More specific information regarding the wish-list and standards can be found at Eclipse Plugin Development. You may also want to join the groovy-eclipse-dev mailing list by subscribing here - http://email@example.com.
Check out the quick start guide to contributing to the Groovy Eclipse Plugin.
See the Codehaus Subversion page for general information on how to access the repository.
See the Subversion home page if you are new to Subversion in general.
To simply view the plugin code, use FishEye.
The plugin source contains Groovy source files. You will need to be able to compile Groovy in order to build the plugin. The easiest method is to download the released plugin from the update site (http://dist.codehaus.org/groovy/distributions/update/) or the development version of the plugin from the development update site (http://dist.codehaus.org/groovy/distributions/updateDev/).
The plugin modules depend on TestNG. Instructions for downloading the TestNG Eclipse plugin are on the TestNG Download page.
Checkout the plugin modules by running the following command:
Each module already contains all the information Eclipse needs to create the project properly (i.e. .project, .classpath and other files). From Eclipse, "Import" the projects into your workspace.
Detailed description of how to checkout using the Eclipse Subclipse plugin:
- Select the Window -> Open Perspective->Other -> SVN Repository Exploring.
- In the context menu of the SVN Repository pane, select New Repository Location
- Enter the following URL: http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/
- Navigate to /trunk/groovy/ide/groovy-eclipse and select all of the projects under trunk/groovy/ide/groovy-eclipse.
- Right-click to get the context menu and select Check out (not Check out as)
- Now you should have all of the groovy-eclipse projects in your package explorer view
Testing the plugin
It might be useful to test the plugin before you use it in your main eclipse installation. There are two Eclipse test projects called GroovyEclipseTests and org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.core.test. To run them right-click on the project and select Run As>JUnit Plug-in Test.
Building the Update Site
To build the update site for use with your main eclipse installation follow these simple instructions:
- Open the site.xml file in the GroovySite project.
- Click Build All button.
- This will build an update site under the GroovySite project.
Installing the update site that you built
The update site you just created can now be installed with the Eclipse update manager. You can install the Groovy feature by following the instructions in the Update Site section above, but using a Local Site pointing to the GroovySite directory that you just built, instead of a Remote Site.

MISENHEIMER, N.C. – For the second consecutive year, Team Pfeiffer Cycling can call themselves the Atlantic Coast Cycling Conference champions. Over the weekend at the conference championships hosted by Virginia Tech, the Falcons held on at the end of the weekend to claim the title by 146 points, which is 139 point better than last season's margin of victory.
With the targets on their backs, Pfeiffer had a minor setback on Saturday as Duke, Maryland, host Virginia Tech and N.C. State started working together to dethrone the Falcons. Pfeiffer placed second in the road races while coming in third during the team time trial. During the trials, the women finished second while the men crossed the line in seventh.
Road racing action saw Michael Robinson and Justin Beard finish 11th and 13th in the men's A event. In the men's B, Michael Brown concluded sixth with Eric Sekercan taking ninth in the D race. On the women's side, Kirsten Fee took home fourth in the A race while Stephanie Bunnett claimed the top spot in the B. After an early crash in the women's C event, Paige Beard bounced back by chasing down and passing the field for a first place victory.
On Sunday, Fee and Bunnett won both of their A and B events respectively while Beard finished runner-up in the C field. For the men's A, Beard took home third with Robinson finishing fourth. Brown scored a sixth place finish in the men's B.
Pfeiffer took home five individual season victories at the D2 level overall, three of them won as well combining the D1 field with D2. The Falcons cruised to the 146 point victory with 1,346 points, followed by Duke with 1,200.

Our Humane Law Enforcement (HLE) Agents enforce animal cruelty laws throughout New York City, putting their lives on the line every day to ensure the protection and welfare of animals. So when a humane law enforcement officer in another city is harmed in the line of duty, it hits home for us, and we take it very seriously.
Last month, Sacramento County Animal Control Officer Roy Marcum was killed in the line of duty. In the wake of that tragedy, we have stepped up our commitment to provide funding for animal organizations to purchase bulletproof vests for officers who need them.
Last month, we provided an $8,500 grant to the County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control to purchase vests for its officers. These vests are the same ones worn by our own HLE Agents.
Needless to say, we are grateful to all hardworking humane law enforcement officers throughout the country, and we're glad to play a role in helping protect those who help protect animals.
Learn more about how animal organizations can apply for an ASPCA Grant.
How about vests for the canines, also?
Thank you so much for making these grants available to help protect our officers in the line of duty. I knew Officer Roy Marcum personally and he was such a special officer, so dedicated to the animals in his community, his colleagues, and his family. We miss him very much. Thank you for helping to prevent this from every happening again. I'm so proud of the ASPCA!

Four Logan County residents were "coated" during the 2013 Convocation and White Coat Ceremony held at West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM) in Lewisburg on August 24.
The White Coat Ceremony welcomes first-year medical students into the osteopathic medical profession and marks the student's transition from the study of preclinical to clinical health sciences.
Three of the local students graduated together at Logan High School in 2009. Twin brothers Justyn and Jasyn Blankenship and Christopher Evans. The fourth student, Brent Thornhill, is a 2007 graduate of Logan High School.
The Blankenship brothers are the sons of Rev. Tildon and LaDonna Blankenship of Crooked Creek. Evans is the son of James and Judy Evans of Verdunville and Thornhill is the son of Wally and Martha Thornhill of Pecks Mill.
Keynote speaker for the ceremony was Kelli Ward, MPH, DO, a West Virginia native, WVSOM graduate and Arizona State Senator.
"We did not have a White Coat Ceremony when I was attending WVSOM. The ceremony is an important milestone in the student physician's career," Ward said. "It marks the moment when they accept the responsibility to care for others. I'm very excited to be participating in this year's event."
While at WVSOM, Ward served as the national president of the Student Osteopathic Medical Association. She completed her residency in family medicine in 1999 at Garden City Osteopathic Hospital in Garden City, Mich.
With her mother, Lorraine Byrd, DO, Class of 1990, she opened Lakeview Family Healthcare in Lake Havasu City, Ariz. She has served as the Director of Medical Education at Kingman Regional Medical Center since 2007.

Results vs. Queens(semis) (2007-11-02 12:00:00)
November 2, 2007
|Falcons Lose in Semi-finals
|Friday, 02 November 2007
|Mount Olive, NC---The Pfeiffer (10-8-3) women's soccer ended their season with a loss to Queens University (8-10-2) in the semi-finals of the Conference Carolinas Tournament. The game was tied 1-1 after overtime but Queens won the penalty kick shootout, 7-6.
Pfeiffer (10-7-4) took a 1-0 lead in the 23rd minute when Megan Reaves' corner kick caromed off a number of players in the box before Celia Walpole put the ball into the goal. The Falcons, playing with a 25-mile per hour wind at their backs, took a one-goal lead into halftime.
Queens (8-5-5) evened the match in the 65th minute as Jackie Groff played a ball from midfield to Tamara Diaz-Matosas in the top right of the box. Diaz-Matosas forced Pfeiffer goalkeeper Suzie Hinman off her line, then played the ball to Hayley Pasco, who scored in an open net.
Hinman kept Pfeiffer alive in the first overtime, fisting the ball over the crossbar on a 20-yard shot by Sami Striano.
The match remained tied as Queens went to a penalty kick shootout for the second consecutive match in the tournament. Both teams connected on their first six shots before Pfeiffer's seventh attempt went over the crossbar. Segarra then put the ball in the back of the net to end the match.
Post-Game Comments
"We practiced penalty kicks all week coming into the tournament. And having already gone through one shootout already helped prepare us today." Queens head coach Katie Talbert.
"Both teams fought hard and played really well. The wind definitely made a huge difference in the game." Pfeiffer head coach Sarah Denton.

Dermelect Cosmeceuticals
Dermelect's Key to Ageless and Youthful Hands Peptide Infused Innovations for the Remedy and Protection of Damaged Nails
When it comes to revealing, or concealing, your true age, the hands are huge indicators. We go to great lengths to prevent the signs of aging on our faces and necks, but it's the hands that end up being abused, yet neglected, the most. Think about what your hands are put through on a daily basis. Constantly immersed in water and exposed to nature's elements, is it any wonder why your nails are peeling and chipping while the texture and look of your hands feel like cardboard?
Reversing The Damage. Traditional nail care companies approach nail treatments with an old fashion, protein/moisture concept- apply a protein rich ingredient in the treatment and moisturize often usually with glycerine being the main ingredient. Always in search of new technologies to address the age-old question of visual aging, Dermelect's focus for nails is on Keratin- the essential protein found in fingernails, skin and also hair. Keratin diminishes as we age and expose our nails to everyday wear and tear. Dermelect is leading a new frontier in nail care by being the first U.S. company to introduce the use of peptides in the launch of it's anti-aging nail and hand treatments. We all know the results that peptide infused facial treatments provide. Well now that same principal has been expertly formulated to restore beauty and strength to natural nails. Whether you're trying to treat damaged nails or maintain beautiful, natural, long nails, Dermelect's treatments are the most advanced formulas available.
How Does It Work? New Zealand wool protein-peptide biotechnology is the breakthrough ingredient in Dermelect's nail care. It's actually pretty simple. Keratin is very difficult to extract from wool without damaging the amino acids that make up the protein. Most processes mangle the amino acids, meaning that the potency suffers. The peptide ingredient that Dermelect utilizes is extracted from the wool in a gentle yet powerful process keeping the protein intact and therefore maintaining its potency without damaging the amino acids that make it up. The integrity of the extracted peptide (keratin protein) is in a near-perfect state yielding unprecedented, age-defying, strengthening and softening results for the nails and hands. Currently, this is as close as you can get to restoring the natural keratin found in healthy fingernails and skin!
All Dermelect nail and hand treatments are:

It is possible to reach that bolt from underneath the car using a long narrow extension. It's still a PITA but doable. You're just gonna have to get creative. If you've removed the coolant line support bolts, you should be able to push the line bracket to the side to make it easier. GL man. You'll git er done!

RYAN VREDE, in Edinburgh, analyses the key match ups and picks the winner in Saturday's Test at Murrayfield.
I've written extensively about the importance of the victory over Ireland in Dublin last week from Heyneke Meyer's perspective and what it would have done for the mental growth of the collective. However, the quality of the performance needs to improve against a determined Scotland side who come into the Test with confidence gained from having beaten the Springboks recently and indeed tested the world champion All Blacks last Sunday.
I think there will be three key areas the Springboks have to master if they are to win: The gainline and breakdown on attack (I'm confident they'll do so on defence), the lineout and goal-kicking.
Scotland have great belief that their rush defence system will blunt the Springboks' aerial assault, cutting down the tourist's primary strike runners' space and time and consequently creating broken-field opportunities from poor punts. The tourists' strike runners were poor in the first half at Lansdowne Road but upped the ante after the break which saw a drastic change in the Test's attacking complexion. They have to be on point, not only for the efficiency of their kicking game, but also the fluency of their ball-in-hand attack, with Scotland exhibiting an appetite for spoiling play at the breakdown. It is therefore imperative that they win the collisions and clean well if they hope to ease their attacking task.
With their attack in what Meyer called the 'goal zone' (between the 22m and opposition tryline) unlikely to show marked improvement, they will rely heavily on their lineout mauling as a try-scoring weapon. Territory is key in this regard and if they are able to set up drives close to the aforementioned zone I cannot see Scotland's pack denying them regularly. Expect them to crumble under the force of the Springboks' shove or concede penalties, which then heightens the importance of goal kicker Pat Lambie.
The Springbok flyhalf kicked relatively well last week, but with his side's now chronic struggles to cross the chalk, he will be acutely aware of how critical it is that he contributes with the boot.
The forecast is for heavy rain on Saturday, which will demand a tight approach from both teams. In a war of attrition, the Springboks have an edge but Scotland will be combative for at least three quarters of the match. The vistors' bench boasts some strong impact players and they could prove to be a determining factor in the result, but they must have a platform on which to build, as I suspect that chasing the game with the Scots galvanised by the prospect of another Springboks scalp and passionate home crowd roused, could be terminal to the Springboks' cause.
There has been a patent determination about the Springboks this week and their supporters will hope that translates into a clinical performance. Victory is non-negotiable.

A HAWKSHEAD Brewery beer was voted overall champion at the Brewers' Society Northern Beer Competition held in Manchester.
Hawkshead Brewery's Windermere Pale won the gold medal in the bitter pale ales category and a second gold for being judged overall champion of the competition.
Some 250 beers from 80 breweries were entered into the competition run by the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA).
The North region is the largest of the seven SIBA regions of Britain.
The beers are judged in one of eight categories, the bitter category being the biggest.
Category winners then go forward to a national competition of winners of all seven regions.
Windermere Pale at 3.5% abv is hoppy and refreshing, pale gold in colour with a long bitter finish with hints of grapefruit.
The fruity hop flavours come from a medley of traditional and modern hops.
Managing director of Hawkshead Brewery Alex Brodie said: "Windermere Pale is a very popular beer, it has a lot of fans.
"It has become the best selling beer in The Beer Hall at the Brewery.
"It is one of those beers that is winning converts to real ale."
THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.
