Why are blood donations so crucial?
Published 10:41 AM EST Feb 28, 2013
Do you ever wonder why blood donation centers are always encouraging people to donate? According to the American Red Cross, it's because the need for blood donations is so great.
According to the Red Cross, someone in the U.S. needs a blood donation every 2 seconds. To cover this need, more than 44,000 blood donations are needed each day.
The Red Cross says that each year about 30 million blood components are transfused.

Spending points
Spending On Business Points
For your company to be eligible to start redeeming points, it only needs two of your colleagues to have flown on qualifying flights that have been booked with your membership number.
It is entirely up to you how you choose to spend your points. You can redeem them on flights and upgrades.
Please be aware you cannot redeem On Business Points on American Airlines, Iberia, Japan Airlines or Qantas operated flights.
Spend points on reward flights
If your colleagues have a lot of overseas meetings to attend, you may decide that the best way to spend your points is on reward flights.
You can be flexible too: points can be spent up to one full day before travel. For example, you can book as late as Wednesday for a reward flight on Friday.
You can even make date and time changes to your reward flights via Manage My Booking. You can do this up to 24 hours before the departure of your original flight, subject to availability.
To redeem points for reward flights or to change your booking, log in to your On Business account.
Log in to your On Business account
Spend points on upgrades
Why not spend your points on flight upgrades to ensure your colleagues arrive fully rested and ready to do business?
You can use your points to upgrade one travel class. That means a colleague who usually travels to New York in World Traveller Plus can enjoy the added comfort of a fully flat bed in Club World business class. Similarly, if they normally fly shorthaul in our Euro Traveller economy cabin, they can upgrade to Club Europe business class.
To redeem points for an upgrade, log in to your On Business account to book your flight and use your points to upgrade in one transaction. Upgrades must be arranged at the time of booking.

Liberals now off-leash; will voters exert some control?
I've referred to this as an Evergreen State predilection for liberals on leashes. For the last 20 years it protected taxpayers from tax hikes, while allowing them to elect candidates who generally reflected their values on non-fiscal issues. With last week's state Supreme Court decision that the supermajority requirement for tax increases is unconstitutional, the leashes are off.
The wonder is that it lasted so long. In a 2007 column, I wrote of Initiative 960, the supermajority requirement passed that year, "... it's likely that most members of the court ... think the initiative's restraints on legislative authority are unconstitutional...Expect the initiative's restrictions on legislative tax-raising authority to fall."
The court managed to duck the issue for nearly five more years. But the result was telegraphed like a heavyweight's roundhouse right. You could see it coming from the cheap seats. While the six justices rejecting the requirement took pains to say they were not passing "judgment on the wisdom of requiring a supermajority for the passage of tax legislation," their reference to the "tyranny of the minority" suggests otherwise. Groups applauding the ruling cheerfully parroted the line.
For 20 years, voters have been happy to let the tyrants keep their taxes down. The court says if they want to retain that protection, they'll have to amend the constitution as 13 other states have done.
The challenge here is that voters cannot amend the constitution by initiative. Constitutional amendments originate with the Legislature. It takes a supermajority of both chambers to put one on the ballot. A Senate committee has already approved a proposed supermajority amendment, but a two-thirds vote in the closely divided chamber is unlikely. And the House has said it won't even consider it. Legislators generally don't volunteer for restraints.
With lawmakers looking at a shortfall of more than $2 billion, including the cost of court-ordered increases in education finance, an easier path to higher taxes received a warm welcome from interest groups and liberal legislators. Still, tax hikes won't be easy in the present legislative environment.
The fiscally conservative Senate majority, two Democrats and 23 Republicans, won't be any more willing to raise taxes now that the standard has been lowered than they were when the bar was set high. House Democrats will also move cautiously, mindful of the clear message sent by the electorate just months ago.
Even so, the push for tax limitation will continue. In a sharp dissent Justice James Johnson refutes the "tyranny of the minority" argument, arguing that the supermajority requirement is "a powerful tool for combating abuse by a short-term majority." He concludes that the court's decision won't be the last word.
"If the history of this great state can teach us anything, it is this: the power of the people will prevail," he writes, noting voters can replace tax-hiking legislators and repeal unpopular levies. He calls a constitutional amendment "an even more commanding exercise of their power."
The statutory constraint imposed by the initiative had some advantages. The two-thirds requirement was in place for just two years, after which the Legislature could amend it with a simple majority vote. To keep it in place, voters had regularly to reenact it, reaffirming their desire to make it more difficult to increase the tax burden. A constitutional amendment is a different thing, more enduring, more restrictive and more difficult to enact.
Difficult, but not impossible.
After 20 years, voters understand how the supermajority requirement works. If they want it in the constitution, they first must elect a Legislature that will place it on the ballot. They should begin by making it an issue in the 2014 campaign.
The other alternative for voters wanting conservative fiscal policy: Elect fiscal conservatives.

The mind-boggling ways our brains betray us
I think a lot about the paradox of the human brain, its inventive brilliance, its ability to create beautiful things, to communicate; along with its bewildering fallibility. If it's true, for example, that memories are a part of who we are, and if our memories are so often wrong, what does that say about our identity? Or about what we believe.
A couple of years ago we visited The Library of Congress, of which I had a clear recollection from my last visit there, when I was about 11. What we found was as far from my memory of it as foam is from fuzz. Clearly, my brain had stitched together some generic libraries I'd visited who-knows-when. The LOC is spectacular, and it was startling: how much else of what I remember is simply wrong? We trust that our knowledge and perceptions of the world are true, and yet they can't possibly be, all things, all the time; not even when it comes to our own past. Recognizing our fallibility and questioning the bases of our beliefs ought to happen more often than it does.
Humans can look the same set of facts and come to wildly differing conclusions, and then fight to maintain those conclusions no matter what contradictory evidence follows. For many, evidently, certain kinds of discordance are unmanageable. The brain needs order, creating it when there is none, whether contemplating the ephemeral or the profound.
I've been taken to task for claiming all Democrats are good and all Republicans are bad, something I've never said. I have pointed out, however, that in certain matters, like climate change, about which there is undeniable science and evidence right in front of our noses, there's a dramatic difference between the two parties. One accepts the facts; the other, as policy, succumbs to a compelling need to ignore them. That's what I'm talking about. It is, evidently, part of the human condition, coming from processes in our brains that, in today's complex world, seem self-defeating and dangerous.
There've been several studies about such matters, showing consistent differences between the brains of liberals and conservatives. The former, according to scans, show more grey matter in the part of the brain that deals with complexity; the latter have a bigger amygdala, where resides the fear response. Conclusion? I report, you decide.
In another study, after being shown evidence that no WMD were found in Iraq, the number of liberals who maintained the incorrect belief stayed the same (which I found embarrassing); but the number of conservatives who believed, falsely, that WMD were found actually increased when presented contrary evidence (which I found boggling, if Foxily consistent!) Such is the strength of that mysterious need.
I have some skepticism about behavioral research. Still, neurological responses have repeatedly been shown to differ between liberals and conservatives. Our brains aren't the same. Do inborn differences (chicken) cause differing beliefs, or do acquired beliefs change the brain (egg)? I don't think we know. As with other human traits, there is, no doubt, a spectrum. Many liberals are off their rockers, and many conservatives have a toehold on terrestrial attachment. But in study after study, consistent differences are demonstrated.
We all believe in evolution here, right? How it is that these two different brain types came to be? Maybe it's because, back when we were riding dinosaurs to the Creation Museum, we needed both planners and reactors. People who'd look at the big picture, find ways to work together, knit Birkenstocks from triceratops wool. And people who reacted quickly to threats, gut-thinkers, instinctive rock-hurlers. Maybe, in pre-human times, brains weren't capable of handling both things at once, or maybe the two tracks developed separately by accident, each conferring selectable benefits. In primitive society, with limited and mostly predictable threats, it could have worked well enough: differing tribes possessing differing survival skills. But life is more complex and less binary now; and whereas our brains are bigger, and probably capable of handling both thinks at once, by a quirk of evolution that chimp has sailed. Is what I'm thinking.
Which is unfortunate, because nowadays it seems impossible for the two groups to agree at all, even about what the facts are, much less how to address them. We're rapidly regressing back to where it all started: cudgels and head-bashing, when what we desperately need, but seem anatomically incapable of, is commonality and cooperation.

Attention parents and students – understand all of your options for health insurance coverage. The new Affordable Care Act (ACA) as part of federal law mandates all US Citizens or US Nationals be covered under a qualified medical plan.
Here are some things to consider as you evaluate your health insurance options.
- Open enrollment for the Washington State Exchange is in October for January 1st coverage. If you have recently lost your current coverage or had a qualified life event you may qualify for special enrollment options.
- Even if you are not a resident of Washington State you can still qualify for the Washington State exchange programs, if you are currently enrolled as a Gonzaga Student.
We have briefly outlined choices for your student below along with links to additional resources to assist you with enrollment and compliance.
Student Accidental Insurance Plan
All registered Gonzaga students are automatically enrolled in a Student Accidental Injury Insurance Plan. The purpose of this plan is to cover accidental injuries that may be treated at the student Health Center. The plan covers basic medical expenses at 80% with no deductible. It also provides an accidental death and dismemberment coverage and travel assistance services for students who travel 100 miles or more from campus. The annual maximum benefit is $10,000. This plan alone does not meet the required coverage amount under the ACA but serves to supplement other coverage.
- Mandatory Accidental Injury Insurance Plan Information - 2014 - 2015
Coverage under the Washington State Exchange
The Washington Health Benefit Exchange, established as part of National Health Care Reform, provides an online marketplace for students to compare low-cost medical insurance options. The Washington State exchange program also offers Washington Apple Health (Washington States' Medicaid program) and tax credits to help offset student health insurance costs.
Student Medical Insurance Plan
Students may purchase comprehensive medical coverage through Gonzaga's Student Medical Plan. To be eligible, a student must be enrolled in 6 or more credit hours per semester. A student who loses coverage from another source during the school year will have 30 days from the date of their coverage loss to elect this coverage.
For full academic year or Fall Semester coverage, the Injury and Sickness Insurance Plan must be elected by October 1, 2014. For Students entering school Spring Semester, they may elect coverage until February 15, 2015.
To enroll in coverage, please enroll online by clicking the link below.
The medical plan provides 80% coverage within the carrier's network and 60% coverage outside the network. There is an annual deductible of $100 for the illness benefit and an unlimited maximum benefit per policy year.

About the Japan Studies Program
The Japan studies program at CFR aims to meet the demand for greater policy analysis and dialogue between the United States and Japan at a time of considerable global transformations. At both the regional and global levels, the United States and Japan have a common stake in managing successfully new economic and security challenges. Moreover, at a time of significant domestic transitions in our societies, the ability for the two countries to work together to find opportunities for effective and timely policy coordination is more important than ever. Under the direction of Sheila A. Smith, the Japan studies program regularly organizes small and large high-level meetings with leading experts on Japans foreign policy and domestic issues.
CFR's Japan programming is made possible in part by the generosity of the following corporate sponsors: Mitsui & Co. (U.S.A.), Inc., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, Mitsubishi International Corporation, Sony Corporation of America, Toyota Motor North America, and the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ.

BEAVERTON -- Nike has officially suspended its endorsement contract with South African OlympianOscar Pistorius.
The move comes just two days after the sportswear giant announced that it had no plans to use Pistorius in future ad campaigns.
The Olympic and Paralympicsports star known as the Blade Runner has been charged with murder in the shooting death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Nike released the following statement on its website late Wednesday night,
Nike has suspended its contract with Oscar Pistorius. We believe Oscar Pistorius should be afforded due process and we will continue to monitor the situation closely.
Before the latest developments Nike had already taken heat for a 2007 ad which referred to Pistorius as a bullet in the chamber.
A Nike spokeswoman told KGW the company removed the bullet ad from Pistorius' website after news of the murder came out a week ago. The company said the ad copy was in reference to Pistorius' speed and performance on the track.
At least one other sponsor has distanced itself from Pistorius. Earlier this week the eyewear maker Oakley suspended its contract with him.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — During the month of June, the Truckee Police Department, in cooperation with other local law enforcement agencies, will assign officers to special DUI saturation patrols as part of Nevada County's "Avoid the 5" program, officials announced Thursday.
According to a press release, the program is geared toward drivers of all ages, but is especially focused on under-age drinking and driving, considering June is the end of the school year and the start of the summer season locally.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens; one out of three are alcohol related.
"We want our teens to make it through graduation and go on to be successful in their adult lives," said Truckee Police Sgt. Robert Womack. "We need to make sure we give them every chance to be successful. Drinking and driving is a chance no one needs to take."
According to the press release, Truckee officers will be proactive this month throughout the eastern end of Nevada County, including Truckee, in addressing problems associated with underage drinking and impaired driving, said Truckee Police Chief Adam McGill.
Funding for Avoid the 5 is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Congratulations on posting for 520 consecutive days
I saw your post about Speedway's expansion to Pittsburg being a local story. Here's what you don't know -- yet.
I'm sorry for your luck, Pittsburg. This Company paints itself as being consumer warm and fuzzy, but it will absolutely dominate the local market.
Once firmly established in Pittsburg, it won't be long until they hop the Alleghenies and start gouging Philly residents. From there, it's just a question of whether they head north or south? New Jersey is less likely, as self serve is illegal there, and full service is not $$$peedway's model. Eventually, they'll find their way to Massachesetts.
Saw several of your posts and have to mostly agree. also congrats on 359 cons days. Lets be buddies
@CaptSquid I'm not suggesting "removing" the highest prices. I'm saying DISPLAY more low prices. All gasbuddy is doing is extracting data from a sorted list.
Consider this: If you remove the highest prices, then part of the truncated list would then shift to the higher price side. This process would continue until NO prices existed. Also, what would you have to compare the low prices against?
Like your post.
"How about Congress DO ITS JOB and stave off sequestration. Anyone else notice sequestration sounds like a form of mutilation? " You got that right.
Hello. Thank you for posting the mechanic link. I left comments regarding my searches. It is a good site to put input. :-) Dan (MGY) I've included a buddy request as it is obvious you care to help others.
You are right the haters blame Obama for everything
Lets be buddies
thanx for your input on my "spending" post :)P

The American Legion Amateur Radio Club station, K9TAL will operate as a special event station in March to commemorate the 93rd birthday of The American Legion. Tentative hours of operation are from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, March 15 – 17. A special commemorative certificate will be provided to all stations who work K9TAL during that period.
Any members in the area available during that period are welcome to operate the headquarters station for this event. Contact Bill at email@example.com to sign up or get more information.
(For the certificate, please mail a SASE (10x14) after successful QSO to The American Legion, ATTN: Bill Sloan, PO Box 1055, Indianapolis, IN 46206.)
Awesome! Hopefully HQ will operate from several bands at different times, or whatever. Will be happy to participate. Let's Roll!!!!
This is more of a question than a comment. What is or are the frequencies that the Legion operates on? Thank you
Just checking in from SNJ. WA2VFK and Post 133 Woodbury, NJ
check in from KE7JEY and Central Oregon Post 45.
Just wondering why only 20m is being used for a special event station. Some time should be spent on 10m also so all HF ops can participate, not just General and Extra.

Congratulations on completion of your 2nd IRLP net! I was pleased to see that there was more content and information than the first instance.
As a suggestion, the net controller for the nets in which I participate calls on each check-in in turn after each round of check-ins to request any comments or questions they may have. That is when they introduce their location, answer questions, and make their comments. Also, the net operator makes a second round of all the normal check-in call signs requesting additional comments or questions. This process of directing the comments and questions by the net control operator seems to result in several advantages:
1. Check-ins are limited to call sign and name so they are short and less doubling occurs.
2. Check-ins are acknowledged and have a chance to comment or ask questions in turn shortly after their check-in.
3. The process tends to generate more discussion among the users.
4. Once users understand that they will be called upon again in the second round, interruptions and doubling for comments are reduced.
Also, the net controller asks first for early or "short" check-ins before regular check-in and the early checkins are excluded from the 2nd round. If you have echolink capability you might want to listen in to the 9amtalknet which occurs Monday through Friday at 9:00AM Pacific time on N6NFI as an example of this technique. Echolink is activated on this repeater only for the 9am talknet.
10 meters please, say on sat 10 am to 12pm east time ?
WHY IS IT THAT ALTHOUGH I TRIED TO CHECK IN ON 14,270 FOR A PERIOD OF 45 MIN AND HEARD MANY STATIONS AROUND THE EAST COAST AND MIDWEST, BUT NO MATTER HOW I TRIED I WAS NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED AND THERE WERE OTHER STATIONS IN THE WEST THE SAME. I am using a TS 2000, Ameritron 811H amp and tri-band beam at 40 ft running 500 watts.
I will try to get in on the fun this weekend! I missed the 1st net. Granddaughter turned 4! Anyway, excited to have some Legion friends on the air! 73' Mark kb0nmq, Iowa Post #290
No copy on K9TAL Special Event Station this afternoon. I see them listed on some spotting sites yet do not hear them at all. Of course, the spot was an hour ago so they could be on break, off the air, or I may be on the ends of their antenna or vice vesa. I will keep listening around 14.270 +/- 5.
Best regards,
Rich "Doc" AC8AL
I hear a Utah Station, N3CMD, trying to talk with K9TAL yet N3CMD has a weak copy. I do not hear K9TAL at all. So, I know K9TAL is at least on the air. I will keep listening and see if they eventually fade in.

Hi Friends ... I was in Honolulu HI during this event, with my wire 20m antenna hung near the end of their main airport runway ... and listened, and listened, and called CQ etc. etc. to (darn) no avail. Guess the "bounce" from Hawaii couldn't be detected back on the mainland. Well, we'll just have to try again next time when hopefully, i'll be within 'shouting' distance from your base.

GRIFTON — Two people are dead after a Thursday morning house fire on Skeeter Pond Road.
Hazel Wilkes, 75, and her husband Theodore, 81, perished in their home some time before 9 a.m. Thursday.
The Lenoir County Sheriff's Office released the names late Thursday afternoon, but a family friend at the scene confirmed the identity of the couple.
Hugo Volunteer Fire Department Chief Johnny Craft said the 911 call came in at 8:53 a.m.
"The first truck was on the scene at 9:02, and at that time the structure was fully involved — all rooms, windows and such," Craft said. "We had received — in transit, when we were on the way — that there were possibly people trapped."
Neighbors and friends gathered near the home as they dealt with the loss.
Minnie Holton knew the couple for decades.
"I feel sadly hurt. Sadly hurt," Holton said. "Because I was real close to them — she was like a second mother to me. I've been knowing Hazel since I was about 10 years old, and I'm 53, 54 this year. That's a long time knowing a person and being close to a person. I'm devastated and hurt and very emotional right now."
Hazel Wilkes was known for her way with telling stories.
"She would sit there and say, 'I remember it like yesterday,' and tell different stories," Holton said. "I'd sit there and listen because, you know, you have somebody tell you about your past. Tell you about your mama and daddy that you don't remember yourself. I miss that, coming here and talking to her about the past."
A total of nine fire trucks from four departments attended to the fire, which firefighters extinguished by 9:08 a.m. In addition to Hugo, crews from Hookerton, North Lenoir and Sand Hill assisted. Craft said he anticipated to be working the location throughout the day.
The State Bureau of Investigations, Lenoir County Emergency Services and the LCSO determined the fire started in the house's electrical wiring.
"Electrical fires are found to be the culprit in many residential fires," Sheriff Chris Hill said in a statement. "I am begging citizens to inspect their exposed wiring and to make sure it is not run under carpets, or in areas that would create wear on the insulation that encases the wiring."

Two people are dead as a result of a house fire in Grifton. Nine fire trucks from four departments responded to a 911 call at 8:53 a.m. Thursday, with Hugo Volunteer Fire Department receiving word en route that two people may have been in the structure. Firefighters arrived at the scene on Skeeter Pond Road at 9:02 a.m., finding the home fully engulfed in flames. They put out the fire in minutes and confirmed the two fatalities.
Though the names have not been officially released, a family friend confirmed the couple was Hazel and Theodore Wilkes.

RALEIGH – A pair of seven-figure lottery wins were among the largest of the week as seven prizes of $100,000 or more were awarded since Wednesday, July 2.
Marilyn Fields of Raleigh, a graduate and long-time employee of Shaw University, said a portion of her $2 million Powerball prize would be used to fully fund a scholarship in her family's name. The North Carolina native, who purchased her lucky Power Play ticket at the Food Lion on Six Forks Road, won the prize by matching all five white balls drawn in Wednesday's Powerball drawing. {Read Story}
Another Raleigh resident, Louise Hare, was on her way to eat dinner Tuesday night when she cashed in some winning lottery tickets at the Stop 1 Market on Peace Street. While there, she bought a $5 ticket for the $250,000 Cash Money game that won her the top prize of $250,000. "I'm excited about it," she said. "It gives me the freedom to explore needs in the community, and try to make a difference." {Read Story and See Photo}
A Triangle-area homemaker said winning $1 million instantly means she can pay off her mortgage and take a trip to Hawaii. Arneta Belton of Durham bought a $10 ticket for the Millionaire 7's instant game at the Beaver Pond Family Fare on Roxboro Road. "I was so excited I couldn't eat or sleep," Belton said. "It feels great and I'm very happy." {Read Story and See Photo}
Across the state in Union County, a newspaper carrier celebrated after winning a $278,448 Carolina Cash 5 jackpot in the nightly drawing held on July 4th. "It feels really cool to win on Independence Day," said Christopher Young, who lives in Monroe. "I'm going to buy a new car for my wife and one for myself then save the rest for the future." He purchased the lucky ticket at the Kangaroo Express on Weddington Road in Monroe. {Read Story and See Photo}
Two hours northwest of Monroe in Caldwell County, a landscaping maintenance worker from Patterson said that scratching off $150,000 means he can finish his home renovations. "I've been saving and working on our house for the past eight years," said Christopher Erskine. "It is a relief to finally be able to finish it for my family." He purchased his winning ticket at the Cubbard Express on Beecher Anderson Road in Lenoir. {Read Story}
Not far away in Wilkesboro, a local magistrate said she was stunned to win $100,000 instantly playing a Mega Bucks ticket. "It's awesome that we can help the education programs and have fun at the same time," said Tyler Roten. "Anything we can do for education is a positive." She bought the $5 ticket at the P&J Express on U.S. 421 West in Wilkesboro. {Read Story and See Photo}
The seventh of the week's biggest wins belonged to Lucila Santana of Winston-Salem. Santana said that some of the $100,000 she won in the Cold Hard Cash game will support her children's education. "My children are in school so I like to help in any way I can," Santana said. "It makes me feel good to know lottery money helps education." Santana was in High Point visiting her brother when she purchased the lucky $5 ticket at the Kivett Drive Grocery on Oneka Street. {Read Story}

MOUNT OLIVE, NC- The Pfeiffer men's volleyball team (8-10, 5-4 CC) dropped its second straight contest, this time falling to Mount Olive (8-9, 7-3) by a final score of 3-1. With a win, the Falcons would have been in sole possession of second place but instead were passed in the standings by the Trojans. Sophomore Sonny Hirini paced the Falcons offensively with 14 kills but Pfeiffer was undone by 22 attack errors and 19 service errors on the night.
Michael Brewer added 13 kills for Pfeiffer and Fabio Diniz ended a productive evening with 12 kills and a .417 hitting percentage. Junior David Specian handed out 42 assists and sophomore Kevin Ecklund had nine digs in the losing effort.
Angel Dache led all players with 18 kills and teammate Steven Cruse added 16 for the Trojans who ended a two-game losing streak with the win. Keaton Marin was solid defensively, recording 15 digs and Quaid Marin quarterbacked the offense with 52 assists.
The first game may have been the turning point as each team had multiple chances to come away with the victory. Pfeiffer had game point on three separate occasions but couldn't close out the hosts. Hirini's kill gave Pfeiffer a 25-24 lead but Dache responded with a kill of his own. After Dache's service error, the Falcons had their second chance at a win, but Cruse netted a kill to even the score. Brewer's kill on a blocking error by the Trojans put Pfeiffer ahead 28-27, but Evan Blair's service error gave the Trojans a new life. Mount Olive was able to outlast Pfeiffer and come away with a 31-29 win.
The Falcons bounced right back in the second game and Specian's kill gave Pfeiffer the 25-22 victory. However, Mount Olive would rally to take the third and fourth sets by scores of 21-25 and 22-25 respectively.
For the match, Pfeiffer posted a .246 hitting percentage, while Mount Olive finished with a .271 hitting percentage. The Trojans held a 43-28 advantage in digs and finished with 57 kills. Pfeiffer won the battle at the net, recording a 14-8.5 led in total blocks.
The Falcons will look to stop this brief two game losing streak when they host Princeton in non-conference action on Monday night at 7 p.m. in Merner Gym.

Every time I sit down to design, ideas and images push and pull me along different tangents. This time my inspirations were comic book colours, The Big Bang Theory, Ronald McDonald, Roy Lichtenstein … and onomatopoeic words. I've always loved the word onomatopoeia, especially that it's such a long word to describe the often one-syllable words that suggest sounds in our written language. Pop! Bam! Pow! I think there's a similarity between onomatopoeia and intarsia colourwork—it takes more work but packs a great visual punch. Ronald McDonald snuck into my subconscious with his wildly read more

The Breakers cowl in my new book, Tempest uses a really simple but not widely know stitch pattern called double garter stitch. It's a great pattern that can use any number of stitches and it's worked the same on both sides, just like garter stitch. While it's possible to use a conventional cast on, I developed a Double-Wrap Long Tail Cast On so the double garter stitch pattern is worked from the very beginning.

Java 1.5 introduced Generics. Using generics you can write code that can be statically checked to a greater degree at compile time. In some ways this is at odds with the emphasis of dynamic languages where in general, the type of objects can not be determined until runtime. But Groovy aims to accomodate Java's static typing when possible, hence Groovy 1.5 now also understands Generics. Having said that, Groovy's generics support doesn't aim to be a complete clone of Java's generics. Instead, Groovy aims to allow generics at the source code level (to aid cut and pasting from Java) and also where it makes sense to allow good integration between Groovy and Java tools and APIs that use generics.
You can include generics in your definitions like this:
Implementation note: Java's generics implementation incorporates a feature known as "type erasure" which "throws away" generic type information after completing static type checking. This allows Java to easily integrate with legacy "non-generics" libraries. Groovy currently does a little further and throws away generics information "at the source level". Generics information is kept within signatures where appropriate (see for example the method foo below within class D).
You can define classes using generics like this:

An emergency room is a department in a hospital that provides immediate treatment for people in need.
Some people can be taken to the emergency room by car, but in more severe cases, an individual may need to be taken in by ambulance or helicopter.
When you first walk in, you need to sign in at the front desk and tell the clerk what is wrong with you. Then you wait until you are called back to see a physician. According to R.N, Joan Somes, when people are throwing up in the waiting area, they are much more likely to get into a room more quickly.

Description of Max and the Magic Marker Demo
Max & the Magic Marker is a physics based 2D puzzle platformer, in which you will control the boy Max and his Magic Marker. While Max enables good old platforming fun, the marker provides the game's signature feature: the ability for the player to draw directly inside the game world where everything drawn becomes physical objects. This feature is used to complete levels and overcome challenges but it also provides the player with a unique tool that in itself is fun to play around with.

Strengths: the rear and front shock are really valuable along with the seat
Weaknesses: nothing except the braked when their wet
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: January 25, 2013
Strengths: Suspension is fantastic, brakes are perfect, bars, and indestructible
Weaknesses: Bit to heavy, almost impossible to ride up the slightest hills, and the gears can be a pain
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: May 8, 2012
Strengths: Really strong and agile, looks good, very progressive travel, good stand over height, all round bike for freeride and downhill racing, nice looking bike
Weaknesses: Original parts were shocking-Forks, shock, bars, brakes, stem, wheels, saddle, cranks, pedals, chain device and tyres had to go straight away and its heavy as well
Bottom Line:
Even Brendog has used his in Whistler and Morzine!!
Brilliant bike, would recommend to anyone giving dh a go or fr or just anyone whos an intermediate but maybe go for a higher model and get the better spec and buy second hand as there is loads and theyre cheap.

Strengths: Frame, The rear shock. Good value for the Price. Looks nice. It's a toy.
Weaknesses: the worse is probably the brakes. How did they think at specialized ? I understand that they wanted to have bike under 2000 USD but those brakes will kill you on a DH track. You can't stop the bike. V-brakes are way much better. The pedals are as well not that good.
Bottom Line:
My advice is that you immediately change the brakes. Those F### Juicy 3 are the worse part on that bike. I crashed several times this summer because I could not stop or slow down the bike. It's a shame. Just change them and enjoy that green great bike. I guess that if you go banana and start to customize it with a new fork (888 or Boxxer) AND new brakes, you will probably have the best bike on earth with a load of fun.
One more thing, forget to ride flat with that bike, it is too heavy. Your heart won't make it.

PSA Star Ratings
PSA recognizes the acceptance achievement of PSA members through a popular Star Ratings program that was established in 1947. Stars are awarded for a combination of the number of acceptances received and the number of "titles" (different images) accepted in PSA-recognized exhibitions.
Stars are awarded for increasing levels (One Star, Two Stars, Three Stars, etc.) based on an established minimum number of titles and acceptances for each level. For example, if a member has eighteen (18) acceptances with six (6) image titles in PSA Nature Division recognized exhibitions, then the member can submit their application (a formal list of the exhibition names, exhibition location and date, and the image titles) to the Nature Division Star Ratings Director. The Division Star Ratings Director checks the acceptances and titles in member's application list against the catalogs submitted by the Exhibitions and marks off each acceptance when it is used for a Star Rating.
When the application is approved, the member receives a letter of congratulation and a Star Rating Certificate from the Division Star Rating Director. The Star Ratings awarded each quarter are published in the PSA Journal in January, April, July, and October. Once a Star Rating has been awarded, the member must maintain continuous PSA membership in order to earn additional Star Ratings or use their Star Ratings to apply for the PSA Recognition of Photographic Achievement ROPA Distinctions (PPSA, EPSA, MPSA, GMPSA, GMPSA/b, GMPSA/s, GMPSA/g, GMPSA/p).
The seven PSA divisions offer one or more Star Ratings.
