Glass Art Company LIULI Celebrates U.S. Expansion With Second Anniversary in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, May 19 /PRNewswire/ — This spring LIULI, the Shanghai based glass art company specializing in pate-de-verre methods of glass sculpting, celebrates its continued growth in the United States with the two year anniversary of LIULI Gallery San Francisco. Since the gallery's opening in 2008, LIULI has opened two additional retail locations in New York and Los Angeles, and the collections have been received with enthusiasm by U.S. audiences.
Founded by notable artist and former Taiwanese film star Loretta Hui-Shan Yang in 1987, LIULI has established exhibits around the globe and boasts more than 60 galleries in Asia as well as an online retail site. In addition to LIULI's heirloom-quality sculptural art pieces known as LIULI Collection, the company also offers LIULI Living which includes first-of-its-kind stemware and serveware pieces, and LIULI Plux, a line of jewelry and accessories featuring exquisite details in luminous glass. Yang, who remains deeply involved with the company as its Creative Director, insists that the design of each LIULI piece strives to reflect benevolence, hope, and a distinctive story.
"I aspire to create works of art that are of value and significance to society and to contribute positively to the community," says Yang. "We are thrilled that our artistry and the ancient Chinese techniques that define LIULI have been embraced and enjoyed by customers in the U.S."
LIULI's use of pate-de-verre glass casting, which dates back to the Western Han Dynasty of the 3rd century BC, allows for exquisite detail and visually stimulating features to appear in each vibrantly colored creation. The meticulous twelve step process includes pouring crushed and fragmented glass into a handcrafted mould and then firing – a process that lasts from six to eight weeks. The results are the intensely captivating and rich glass forms of LIULI. Designed to express and reflect upon China's storied past, the collections resonate with Asian history.
Loretta Hui-Shan Yang will be visiting the stateside galleries this fall and will be teaching a master course at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York from September 5 through September 12.
Loretta Hui-Shan Yang Co-founder and Creative Director Formerly a renowned actress in Taiwan in the 1970's with critically- acclaimed films such as "The Young Runaway" and "Kuei-Mei, A Woman", Loretta Hui-Shan Yang left the film industry at the height of her career to devote herself to the art of Liuli, ancient Chinese glass sculpting and design. A graduate of both Providence University in Taiwan and the New York Expirimental Glass Workshop, Yang is now a consulting professor for the Academy of Arts & Design at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and an honorary professor for Notojima Museum in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. Over the last two decades, Yang has followed a spiritual quest to revive fine art techniques used in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and has distinguished herself as the most influential Chinese glass artist in the international art realm.

Brad Marchand still on third line; Claude Julien doesn't want to sit Jordan Caron for too long
|10.21.13 at 1:38 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins' forward lines remained unchanged Monday at Ristuccia Arena, meaning that Brad Marchand is sticking on the third line for the time being.
Jordan Caron, who was a healthy scratch Saturday against the Lightning to allow Carl Soderberg into the lineup, wore a third-line grey sweater along with Marchand, Chris Kelly and Soderberg. The lines were as follows.
Lucic – Krejci – Iginla
Smith – Bergeron – Eriksson
Soderberg/Caron – Kelly – Marchand
Paille – Campbell – Thornton
With Soderberg back from and ankle injury, Claude Julien said that he intends to keep forwards fresh by not letting them miss long stretches as healthy scratches, which is what he's done on the back end with his seven defensemen.
"That would be the goal," Julien said. "Right now, you saw Jordan sitting out, and I don't think Jordan's been a bad player for us. I think he's played well, so you certainly don't want guys sitting in the stands again for that long.
"We're talking about the early part of the season here. When everybody's playing well, you like to get them in and keep everybody going because at one point you're going to run into some injuries. That's also part of the game, and you want those guys as ready as can be, so we're going to make some room for those guys to come in at times, and it might not always be the same player."

Budget workshops continue through the month, and getting close to a zero based budget is the goal of several board members.
"That is the goal we are going to strive for," said board member Kyle Kotary. "Any additional savings we receive should be given back to the taxpayer."
Tim Gordon, another member of the board, said he is not opposed to using the town's healthy surplus to reduce the proposed tax levy increase.
"The fund balance money belongs to the people," said Gordon. "We shouldn't keep larger surpluses than necessary."
Plummer said he would like to keep the town tax rate as low as possible.
"Department heads did a lot of hard work to keep increases as low as it is," sad Plummer.
Board member Sam Messina said he believes the proposed budget is a good starting point but more work needs to be done.
"We have no flexibility right now for new and emerging priorities," said Messina.
"There is no silver bullet. We need to cut expenditure and look for new revenue sources."
A public hearing on the budget is scheduled for Oct. 25.

MotoGP 2011: Stoner shines on Honda RC212V
Honda's RC212V took four of the top five finishing spots in the opening round of MotoGP 2011
Article Summary
The first MotoGP race of the year has been run and won, so we've got our first glimpse at what season 2011 is going to look like. And it seems it's going to look like the Honda Cup. Delivering on the promise the bike showed last year, Honda's RC212V took four of the top five finishing spots in Qatar, with only defending champion Jorge Lorenzo waving the flag for Yamaha in second place. Ben Spies rode to an encouraging sixth place for Yamaha, and the Rossi/Ducati combination started with a whimper, not a bang, in 7th. Smart money would have to be on Australian Casey Stoner for the title; after a brief dice with a wearied Dani Pedrosa, Stoner strolled away to a 3.5-second win.

Let's not pussy foot around this week and get right into some serious boobtastic from a woman who I wish dearly would move in next door to me and have absolutely no idea how to fix anything in her apartment or remember to buy any staples at the store so that I would be on constant neighborly call to her unit. And, by 'unit', I think you know what I'm talking about.
It's Monday morning and after not much sleep this weekend I need the beautiful lean long preening body of Hayley-Marie Coppin to fill my mammarial needs. A solid virtual suckling to nourish the start of this week from infancy into full immature behavior. Hayley-Marie never disappoints in the 'stripping in her living room' department.

Malaysia averts another air tragedy; pilot lands troubled plane safely
MANILA, Philippines – A Malaysian domestic plane packed with local football players narrowly averted another air tragedy when one of its engines caught fire while airborne.
The Star Online reported Wednesday that a Malindo Air flight had to turn back because the ATR 72-600 plane's turboprop engine caught fire.
Fortunately, other reports said, the pilot acted fast and switched off the burning engine.
The plane was boarded mostly of members of the Terengganu football team who were returning home after winning a match.
According to The Star Online, "Terengganu midfielder Faiz Subri posted a picture of the burning engine and said the plane turned back and landed in Subang Airport" in Selangor on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
The report said all passengers on the 7.30 a.m. flight were safe.
Malaysia is still mourning over the crash of Malaysia Airlines 370 and the news about the pilot's heroic effort to avoid another aviation accident was seen to provide a relief to its citizens.
The members of the football team were due to return to Kuala Terengganu on Wednesday after beating ATM FA 3-0 at the Selayang Stadium on Tuesday, The Star Online reported.
According to Terengganu FA staff, the players posted pictures of the
incident on their social media pages.
According to a statement on the Terengganu FA's website, the team took a replacement flight back to Kuala Terengganu at 10 a.m. The Star Online

1 large
eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
salt to taste
2 tablespoons
olive oil, or as needed
1 (16 ounce) container
ricotta cheese
2 cups
shredded Italian cheese blend
2 cloves
garlic, minced
2 sprigs
fresh oregano, chopped

fresh thyme, chopped
10 grinds
fresh black pepper
2 1/2 cups
tomato sauce
1 (10 ounce) package
frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
6 slices
part-skim mozzarella cheese
Tasty recipe, sprinkled eggplant slices with Italian Seasoning before roasting. Make sure to watch the eggplant carefully in the oven, my first attempt led to to some charred eggplant slices :-)
I have made this a few times. I agree..you need two eggplants. It is delicious. One time I used sautéed brocolli. Yummy!
5 Ratings
This recipe should call for 2 large eggplants instead of 1. The flavor was good, but I ended up having to make pasta to make up for the missing layer and a half of eggplant. Not sure I would try this again.
Great recipe, but it would be better with some peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, corn and any other veggie you like. No reason for this to only have eggplant & spinach. Healthy it up! Excellent flavour though!

Ktm 640 03,04,05
Still trying to decide on a DR or 640, interested to know if there was any changes from 03 to 05 for the KTM as possibly looking at a low k second hand bike from these years as an option to the DR.
03 KTM has high front fender and later years have mud magnet low fender (just dumb if you ever encounter mud).
03 has 1 disk and later years have 2 (unecessary weight)
Wider BLACK front wheel on 04, 05 (more weight)
General consensus is that newer front end mods were to make bike similar to 950 to smooth production rather than real world rider feed back.
I believe 04, 05 bikes get a oil nozzel squirting on bottom of cylinder head like the rallye bikes have. Other than that, its all about paint jobs.
03 is available in orange (LC4E) or silver (ADV) and later years only orange ADVentures.
Never have seen a 03 640 in orange. Only silver, I believe. 04 and 05 got the fancy orange paint.
I believe the 640A received the whole front end of the 950 in 04 (if ya can find one) including the larger forks.
The 2003 A was available only in a somber silver/black color scheme. 2003 was the year for the greatest single number of changes, upgrades, improvements... call them what you will.
These changes can be found here.
The 2004 model received, for all intents and purposes, the front end from a 950A.
I would tend to agree with BlitzBike regarding the value of those "improvements". They are arguably more beneficial to the street rider than the dirt rider.
It's a moot point, as unless the bike is a grey market from Canada, Mexico or elsewhere outside the US, none were imported into the US by KTM. These bikes, like the 2005 are all orange/green pearl metallic in color.
The 2005 model is pretty much a carryover of the 2004... new to us, a year old to the rest of the world.
The only major mechanical improvement for 2005 that I am aware of, and previously mentioned by BlitzBike, is the addition of a second oil jet, in all likelihood designed to provide additional cooling to the underside of the piston.
The fuel capacity was reduced by approximately one gallon, from 7.25 to 6.25, by modifying the inside surface of the tank. This was done to accomodate a rather large emissions device on the right side of the engine near the head. I have not seen this device in person, nor have I seen good photos of one. This change may have occured in 2004, but as we had no US bikes to eyeball, it's hard to say.
There are some additional changes for 2005 of arguable value such as the round folding brake pedal peg.
I have not seen close-ups of the 2006 model which has yet to make it to the US, although I understand that, much like the 2005, a small quantity will be imported. The most noticeable visual difference is the addition of the words "Dual Sport" on the tank. IMO... not exactly attractive. Are they trying to convince someone of use or intent with that reference?
Anyway, that's what I know or at least think I know. The only thing on 2004 and later that is not easily or cheaply fixable for dirt work are the soft black Bahr rims and the reduction in fuel capacity... although that last item may not be an issue for some.
I have a certain bias for the 2003 model and would suggest this year in a used bike. However, they command a premium over prior years that far exceed the typical year change value, due to the long list of improvements.
A 2002, although not equipped with some of the 2003 goodies, is still an excellent bike and not something I would sneeze at should a good one come along for a fair price.
A used 2005 would be nice; the cost of changing out the rims for serious dirt work (if they've not been done already) could be kept to a minimum by having someone like Woody's Wheel Works simply lace on better quality rims.
The front brake and fender issues are relatively low cost, and typical suspension "correction" is a common upgrade on all Adventures... unless of course you happen to weigh 150 lbs. :lol3
Even for a lightweight the suspension is undersprung if you are going to do any serious dirtwork. Former 02 640A owner:cry and have ridden a DR650 some.
What do you plan on doing with the bike? Experience level?
Thanks for the replies everyone,really appreciate the opinions and information. Fortunetly there are plenty of new and second hand KTM's to choose from here in Aus and have my eye on a 03.
How do you find the DR as that's option number two with a few mods of course.
Dave, if you find anone selling any spares in aus (particularly the tank/seat/headlight assembly, could u post up here....) not concerned about cosmetics, just serviceability....
The DR.... with some serioius suspension work and all the mods(jetting, pipe, bigger tank), I think it would rival the LC4E. It so simple and easy to maintain.
I'll say it this way, the DR is a great bike, but the KTM moved(s) my soul and that is part of motorcycling IMHO.
I think they are both reliable bikes when well sorted and maintained. The DR is smoother(may not be an issue).
If maintenance is an issue, I would give the nod to the DR.
Burrenrider, a fellow Aussie here on ADVRider, had a sweet DR 650 and I believe he owned a 640 ADV for a while. You might PM him and get his input.
If forced to pick one or the other(especially with your experience), I would go for an 03 640 ADV.
All the best in your search. :thumb
With your riding experience and where you live I would recomend the KTM. I own an 03 so I'm partial to that year but any of the 3 year models you mentioned should do, just let the best deal and how the bike was looked after {if buying used} be the deciding factor.
G'day Davest,
I've got an O3 640 Adv, Happy as a pig in shite with it. There is some good deals around. I bought mine 18 month old with 950 km on the clock. They do vibrate a bit but its no big issue, esspecially after rejet and airbox side cover is done.
Where ya at ?
your lucky not to have been harrassed into filling out you public profile yet:deal . :lol3

Review: The OPC musician's computer/amp from Orange Amps
By Paul Ridden
March 15, 2012
The first OPC from Orange Amps was made available in August 2010 and we've been closely following its development ever since. The bundled musician-related software has remained pretty much the same since launch but the musician's computer was given a serious hardware upgrade towards the close of 2011, and it's the new Core i7 system which I've been getting to know over the past few weeks. I've also managed to discuss some of the finer details with the driving force behind the OPC, and its lead developer, Charlie Cooper. Read More
As proposed by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, "flow" is an ideal psychological state in which we are engaged enough by a task not to find it boring, and yet not so challenged by it that we get discouraged. When learning new subjects, however, students often end up falling at one end or the other of that scale. Now, a new computerized tutoring system has been developed to keep students in the "flow" zone. It does so by monitoring their emotional state, then adjusting its teaching method to steer them away from boredom or frustration. Read More

Chips with collaborating CPU and GPU lead to faster processors

Want to get your computer to run faster? Well, consider its graphics processing unit (GPU) and central processing unit (CPU).

Raspberry Pi to ship February 20, launch before March

There's good news for those itching to get their hands on a Raspberry Pi. After a short delay, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has confirmed that the first batch of the US$25 computers is due to roll off the production line February 20. Shifting production eastwards caused some delay, as the cheapest available quartz crystal package selected when manufacturing was planned for the UK proved harder to source in China, where the Pi will now be manufactured. The first batch will be freighted by air to the UK, where the wee beasties should be available before the end of the month. Previously, the first batch had been slated for completion by the end of January. Read More

Could Jack Zduriencik of the Mariners be trying to engineer a three-team trade?
Buster Olney of ESPN speculates on Cliff Lee's future -- as everyone will do up until he is traded -- and notes that Seattle wants a "difference-making hitter" in any Lee trade.
Olney suggests Justin Smoak from Texas, but it's hard to imagine the Rangers agreeing to that. Perhaps Chris Davis is a more viable alternative, but Texas would then have to upgrade other elements of the package.
Another player that may catch Seattle's eye is Yonder Alonso of the Reds. Alonso was drafted as a first baseman but since Joey Votto has that position locked up, has been playing left. The Mariners could return him to his natural position of first or even slot him as DH, and the Reds would certainly love Lee as they make a push for the NL Central crown.
Olney then turns his attention to Brett Lawrie of Milwaukee. When Jack Z worked for the Brewers, he selected Lawrie in the first round of the 2008 draft. Lawrie has since emerged as one of the best prospects in the game while manning second base. Even though the Brewers are out of the race and wouldn't be interested in a Lee-for-Lawrie swap, Olney speculates that Zduriencik could engineer a three-way trade, sending Lee to the Reds, a stable of pitching prospects from Cincinnati to Milwaukee (fulfilling the Brewers' need for pitching) and Lawrie to the Mariners.
There's nothing to support this trade, but it's an intriguing idea.
All that said, Charley Waters of the Pioneer Press hears that the Twins are the frontrunners for Cliff Lee and are currently deciding whether Wilson Ramos should be made available to Seattle, who craves a young catcher. Interestingly enough, Waters says the Mariners love their 26-year-old catcher, Adam Moore, so Ramos may not be as available. Hard to imagine any team turning Ramos down who is head and shoulders above Moore but even if that's the case, Minnesota has more chips they can send out.
That starts with center fielder Ben Revere, who -- despite a clear lack of power -- has advanced well in the system since being selected in the 2007 draft. Joe Benson is another outfielder in the system that could be available, as well as major-league starting pitcher Nick Blackburn. It's doubtful Seattle would entertain Blackburn as the last thing they need is another back-of-the-rotation starter.
The Cliff Lee sweepstakes are heating up, and it's anyone's guess who plucks the prized left-hander with an obscene 89/6 K/BB ratio.

Good. I hope the Yankees don't sign either Crawfor, Werth or Lee. They still have to re-up Jeter and Rivera this off season. Vasquez and Pettitte are both coming off the books so they should have some $ available. Pettitte should get resigned/offered arbitration. Vasquez is a goner. Please Yankees, offer Vasquez arbi hoping for a draft pick and get stuck with him again.

Olney, does put together some interesting ideas. Yes, the Reds do have Alonzo and he doesn't have a position with the Reds in the future even though I love his bat. I wondered why they drafted him because long term he really doesn't fit the plans. If the Brewers are in the 3 way team trade, I'd be upset if the Reds ship off some top pitching prospects to someone within the division. That could be a mistake long term. Lee could help the Reds out tremendously. I would like to sign him longer term once they let go of Harang after this year.

Yeah, ok. No wonder the Royals are always near the bottom. Ideas like this make no sense. The Mariners will get a lot more for Lee than Guillen. Not that Guillen isn't an upgrade at the plate, but those 2 don't even match up at all.

You may want to reason as to why you think the Yankees will sign Crawford when they already have a Left Fielder who is having just as good a season, runs the bases just as well,l and probably has a better glove....and he is 3 or 4 years younger to boot? Cliff Lee ..yeah the Yanks will go after him real hard.

I do not see a draw back to Smoak or Davis. Smoak is supposed to be a better pure hitter, while Davis has more pure power. Both men are good with the glove but Davis has a clear advantage defensively too. Eventually the rangers have to decide will one of them go or does Mike Young so Davis can return to 3rd.
My thoughts are a Davis or Smoak + Teagarden + an arm for Cliff Lee makes sense IF the rangers are going to ink him long term.
If it is a rental I do not want to make the trade at all.
It would be nice to think the rangers are legitimate world series contenders but it is not true yet. No need to mortgage the future for a pipe dream.
I have to think including Mike Young, while unpopular as hell would be a logical move for the rangers. It lowers payroll providing more money for Lee, it gets another young player on the big league club, and it prevents an ugly Modano like scenario it the up coming years. Frankly Young could be worth more to some clubs (maybe not Seattle)

Daily News on Nuclear, Biological & Chemical Weapons, Terrorism and Related Issues
Leaked Memos Reveal Further Concerns on Pakistani Nukes
Classified U.S. State Department cables released yesterday by the openness group WikiLeaks reveal ongoing concern among U.S. officials over the threat that political instability in Pakistan could pose to the nation's nuclear weapons, the Washington Post reported (see GSN, Nov. 30).
"Despite pending economic catastrophe, Pakistan is producing nuclear weapons at a faster rate than any other country in the world," states a December 2008 U.S. intelligence document prepared for NATO.
U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan Anne Patterson wrote in a January 2009 report for then-U.S. national security adviser James Jones that Islamabad had taken a "defensive" position on its nuclear arsenal amid ongoing international news coverage of its security.
Pakistan "is particularly neuralgic to suggestions that its nuclear weapons could fall into terrorist hands and to reports of U.S. plans to seize the weapons in case of emergency," Patterson wrote.
A White House strategy meeting later that year addressed potential threats to the Pakistani nuclear arsenal in great detail, administration officials said.
"Why is it that we're trying to prevent the Pakistani government from collapsing?" one of the officials said said. "Because we fundamentally believe that we cannot afford a country with 80 to 100 nuclear weapons becoming the Congo."
"Shoring up Pakistan, helping it fight extremism, trying to improve its institutions are not just a humanitarian effort or some naive public diplomacy gambit," the source added. "There is a sense that other places in the world can go to hell, but not this one" (DeYoung/Miller, Washington Post, Nov. 30).
Mariot Leslie, a high-level British Foreign Office official, echoed U.S. fears in a September 2009 exchange with U.S. diplomats, the London Guardian reported.
One 2009 analysis by the United States warns Pakistan was working on a line of more compact nonstrategic nuclear weapons for possible use against Indian military personnel: "The result of this trend is the need for greater stocks of fissile material ... Strategic considerations point Pakistan in the direction of a larger nuclear force that requires a greater amount of fissile material, Pakistani officials argue" (David Leigh, London Guardian, Nov. 30).
Pakistan today said U.S. concerns about the security of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal weapons were "misplaced and doubtless fall in the realm of condescension," Agence France-Presse reported.
"There has not been a single incident involving our fissile material, which clearly reflects how strong our controls and mechanisms are," Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Basit added (Nasir Jaffry, Agence France-Presse/Google News, Dec. 1).
Meanwhile, U.S. Ambassador to India Tim Roemer added in another document that if India acted on a blueprint for an invasion of Pakistan, New Delhi would "roll the nuclear dice," possibly prompting a Pakistani retaliation involving nuclear weapons, the Guardian reported (Leigh, London Guardian).
Another document reveals that the United States in 2008 unsuccessfully urged Islamabad not to release from house arrest former top Pakistani nuclear scientist and proliferator Abdul Qadeer Khan, the New York Times reported (see GSN, Nov. 15).
Senior State Department official Richard Boucher said the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad should "express Washington's strong opposition to the release of Dr. Khan and urge the government of Pakistan to continue holding him under house arrest." Freeing Khan would "undermine" Pakistan's previous proliferation efforts, he said.
"The damage done to international security by Dr. Khan and his associates is not a closed book," Boucher wrote, referring to the Khan proliferation ring's involvement in sales of nuclear equipment and knowledge to Iran, North Korea "and possible other states" (David Sanger, New York Times, Nov. 30).

An excellent tour! Our guide Hugh was very knowledgable about this part of Canada and passionate about bears. We called at Lake Louise, the Takakkaw Falls and saw the Spiral Tunnels, which are part of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The highlight, after lunch at the highest restaurant in Canada, was definitely seeing Boo the Grizzly Bear in his refuge. He obligingly sat at the fence whilst one of his "keepers" told us all about him. He seemed very content in his twenty acre reserve which you have to reach by ski lift. The bus was not too big and the company seem to really care about the environment. I would recommend this trip to anyone interested in wildlife. A wild black bear obligingly crossed the road in front of the bus on the way down from visiting Boo. This trip was the highlight of our visit to Canada.

Nice boat and clean.
|Oct 27, 2014 Susan VA, United States
Beautiful weather, fun trip, organized fishing, all fish cleaned and fileted. It was a good trip.
More complete directions need to be given so your charter can be found. A sign in the parking lot to let us know that we are in the right place would even help. A note when scheduling that we are looking for boat slip # whatever would have made the trip much less worrisome at the beginning.

Caught lots of fish.
|Oct 21, 2014 Andrea MD, United States
This was supposed to be a "fishing" trip, but I did not even get to touch a fishing pole for even a second. The captain started by saying that there was no fish in the water and kept cruising on the water for 5 hours.
|Oct 13, 2014 Pei VA, United States
The whole group didn't get anything from the trip. The captain determined that there were no fish based on the reading of the radar but we didn't even get a chance to try our luck.

UPDATE: USI wins its opener in Bill Joergens Memorial Classic, topping King University, 94-72
EVANSVILLE - Even before the University of Southern Indiana men's basketball team stepped on the court Friday night, probability was all in favor of the Screaming Eagles.
It was the 3-point shot against the layup in the first round of the Bill Joergens Memorial Classic, and as probability goes, the team that took the higher percentage shots won.
In this case, USI scored 52 points in the paint as it beat King University, 94-72.
Senior forward Aaron Nelson led all scorers with 23 points and 14 rebounds while fellow senior forwards Taylor Wischmeier and Manny Ogunfolu chipped in with 14 points apiece as the Eagles (3-0) used their size and depth to establish a presence inside early. USI shot 57.4 percent from the floor for the game, including 70 percent in the second half.
Nelson and Wischmeier got the first several touches as USI attacked inside. Nelson, the team's leading scorer, drew a double team when he was fed the ball inside, but was still able to muscle around the Tornado's post players.
"We know that's coming for the rest of the year," said USI coach Rodney Watson of the double team. "When you're as productive as he is, he's going to see that attention all night.
"I thought our size was a problem on them, though. Certainly on offense for us, it gave us an advantage. Even on defense, I think our length was a bit of a challenge for them."
USI also gave King (2-3) fits on the glass, outrebounding the Tornado, 45-22, and tallying 15 second-chance points on 14 offensive rebounds.
"A lot of their bigs like to leak out and get back to run the floor, so it made it a little easier to get a couple of rebounds," Nelson said.
Junior guard Gavin Schumann earned his first USI double-double, scoring 13 points and adding 11 rebounds. He and the guards had an easier chance to crash the glass as King's perimeter players tended to run back on defense after shots.
"Long shots, long rebounds," Watson said. "The rebounding angle's a little weird. We really harped on our guards to really be a factor in the rebounding, and by and large we were pretty good at that as well."
When the inside look wasn't there, USI's guards drove to the basket or took a rare outside shot. Six players scored at least 10 points, as guards Ben Jones and Lawrence Thomas added 10 each. Jones hit a couple of key 3-pointers down the stretch to maintain the team's 20-plus-point lead. USI went on a 10-0 run late in the first half to open up a double-digit edge, capped by a 3-pointer from Ogunfolu.
"What I really thought broke the game open, when they were trying to hang around to make one last run — when they got it to (18 points) — then Ben just pops two like he's shooting in the gym by himself," Watson said. "That pretty much sealed the game."

believe in yourself, best day ever, Eleanor Roosevelt, inspirational, love life, Mac Miller, motivation, rap, self limitation, Success
"If every kid felt like it was possible for them to change the world, then I guarantee that would be awesome. Like, why not believe in yourself enough to say, I will be the person that ends war. I will be the person to solve world hunger. Why not say that? Like, you think the people sitting there were any different than you and I? I think that's really the main thing, is just to kind of look at yourself as a possibility to do greater things than anyone ever imagines." Mac Miller
Mac Miller is one of my favorite rappers out there. If you are unfamiliar with who he is, check out his Wikipedia page or Youtube channel. While I can't say that I necessarily support all of his lyrics, he is still pretty awesome. One of the biggest reasons I love his music is how happy he is. The guy legitimately loves life and loves what he does. In his song Best Day Ever, he raps:
No matter where life takes me, find me with a smile,
Pursuit to be happy only laughing like a child,
I never thought life would be this sweet,
It got me cheesing from cheek to cheek.
And I ain't gonna wait for nothing, Cause that just ain't my style,
Life couldn't get better, This gon' be the best day ever
Mac Miller recently was on MTV for an episode of "How I Made It," which you can watch here. I love hearing about how he always kept believing in himself, even when he only had 3 fans. Check it out, check out his music, and keep believing in yourself. I'll leave you with a little wisdom from Eleanor Roosevelt: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

Einstein 'God' letter to sell on eBay, with bidding starting at $3M
"...The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this," wrote Einstein, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. "For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions," the letter continues. "And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them." Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/10/04/einstein-god-letter-on-ebay-with-bidding-starting-at-3m/?intcmp=features#ixzz28LRMNxw9

When I walked in the door at 8 p.m. recently, my wife Carla put on a face and asked me where I had been. I answered with the usual: "The stripper bar."
I mean, where did she think I'd been? Sometimes, I think she gets a bit jealous of my other wife, the hospital.
It may sound crazy, but I think the hospital is fun, filled with some hilarious moments and truly great people.
Like when I walked into a patient's room and asked how he slept. He was unusually grumpy.
"Lousy, he said. "Whaddaya expect? These beds are horrible, and I slept like a Toulouse Latrec painting!"
Only someone who has slept in a hospital bed knows what he means.
One of my favorite patients died recently. One night, before he died, we talked about his prognosis at his bedside in the hospital. He knew he was dying, and I guess he actually welcomed death. He told me he was tired of being sick and wanted the end - that he wasn't afraid. I asked him if he knew what would happen after he died; if he thought there would be an afterlife. He said he didn't know for sure but that he hoped so.
Then he said, "Goodbye and good luck. Have a good life. I've liked knowing you."
"Easy," I said. "Not so fast. You're not dying right now."
He shrugged, so I said, "Well, when you do get there, can you send me a sign?"
He gave me a rare smile and said, "Sure. What kind do you want?"
I shrugged: "Email works."
But then he said, sincerely troubled, "But I don't really know how to email." So I told him any old sign would do.
I was checking my email yesterday, wading through the spam - invitations to go to some heart conference and job offers to work "in paradise," which is really somewhere in the middle of nowhere. I smiled, wondering if this was his funny idea of a sign.
Later, as I was finishing my rounds, I wondered if I was ever going to get that sign. At the time, the hospital was not as enjoyable as usual with nurses on strike and then lockout. Walking around the hospital was like walking in a strange, sad place - an underworld of sorts. In this "underworld," lunch in the cafeteria didn't include sitting with people I know and joking about the usual things; it was usually wolfing down a sandwich alone so I could get to the next procedure or patient.
A few days ago, I ran into the one of the nurse managers and asked if there was any news on the strike negotiations.
"Nothing," he said. "No, they can't seem to make a deal. It'll take a sign from heaven to get the nurses back."
I shrugged. A little while later, I got a text from the number 990-00 which read: "L+M to lift lockout. Check email for more info."
So maybe my patient couldn't email me a sign, but between here and There, he learned how to text.

Parents of Muslim students studying in Bishops School are in a fix, as they are unsure if they should celebrate Eid this year or not. Barely a day after the community celebrates Ramadan Eid on July 29, the school has scheduled unit test exams. This means that if students wish to prepare for the examinations, they would have to forego their Eid celebrations. Irate parents say this is not the first time, last year an exam was scheduled one day after Bakra Eid celebrations.
Wishing to maintain anonymity, a parent of a fourth standard student said he wished to go to his hometown, Kolhapur, for Eid but would be unable to do so now.
"I live in Pune with my wife and child, and don't get to go home to Kolhapur very often. We had atleast hoped to celebrate Ramzan Eid with my family, but if unit tests are the next day, how can I go home and return within a day?" he questioned.
The parent said that it made him angry since this isn't the fist time that the school is keeping the exam on the next day of any festival as last time also, they had kept the exam on the very next day of Bakri Eid. Several parents from the community, whose kids are studying at Bishops School are upset over the school's decision to conduct unit tests on the very next day of Eid, and some allege it may be a deliberate move.
Another parent told dna that the day is very special to them since relatives and friends keep visiting throughout the day to give wishes. Celebrations are known to go on throughout the night. "Since the entire day is full of festivities, how can a child prepare for an exam the next day? The school should understand. They can give students extra days off for school functions or even watching sporting events but not for festivals?" he questioned.
A few parents approached an organisation, Chattrapati Shivaji Muslim Brigade, whose president Jahangir Mulla, said he tried to meet the school CEO Frank Freese about the complaints, but the latter didn't entertain the group.
"We handed over an application to the school authorities in which we demanded that the school should abandon this practice, and also demanded that the exam should be conducted three to four days post Eid, as the families can come back from their hometown after celebrating the festival." dna has a copy of this application.
The organisation has threatened that if the school doesn't pay heed, they would hold agitations in front of the school on Monday.
The Other Side
Despite repeated attempts made by dna through phone calls, SMS and even email, CEO Frank Freese remained unavailable for comment, while school authorities said that he was not present in the school and no other person was authorised to comment in his absence.

GALION, Ohio — Fire officials say a man and woman in their 70s have died in a house fire in north-central Ohio.
Officials say the fire broke out just before 1 a.m. Tuesday at the home in Galion, about 60 miles north of Columbus. Investigators discovered the bodies of a 78-year-old man and a 72-year-old woman in a bedroom of the home. Their names were not immediately released.
Crews say the home was completely engulfed in flames and is severely damaged.
Fire officials say the blaze appears to have started in a second floor bedroom, but are still working to determine the exact cause of the fire.

Although you may not yet find preinstalled Linux too easily at your neighborhood computer superstore, our beloved OS is bubbling up in more scintillating ways, including in the recently released Zonbu PC. Zonbu is a mini, fanless Gentoo Linux-driven PC that, with its on-line storage (sans hard drive!), functions with a "computing as a service" ethos. In addition, Zonbu is one of the few PCs that markets its green "street cred", aiming to provide us concerned citizens with a means to reduce our energy consumption and thus our impact on the environment.
Company: Zonbu, www.zonbu.com.
Bandwidth requirement: 64KB/s minimum, 256KB/s or faster recommended.
Physical dimensions (height x width x depth): 6.75" x 4.75" x 2.25" (17.1cm x 12.1cm x 5.7cm).
Processor: 1.2GHz Via C7.
Graphics card: Integrated Via C7.
Flash memory: RiData 150x 4GB CompactFlash card included.
Hard drive: none (storage is on-line).
Memory: no HD, only a 4GB CompactFlash card, which contains the OS and applications.
Optical drive: none included; optional CD-RW/DVD drive available for $49.
Ports: six USB, VGA out, speaker, mic.
Networking: built-in 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi available via optional USB adapter for $29.95.
Subscription options: $249 per month + optional month-to-month subscription fee ($12.95–$19.95) depending on on-line storage space. $150 discount on machine with prepaid two-year subscription, and $50 discount with a one-year plan.
Zonbu plugs itself as a "compact, totally silent, ultra-low-power mini with all of the bells and whistles". Although true to a degree, the Zonbu arrives on your doorstep in a compact box with simply the machine and a power cord. You'll have to purchase, or more likely scrounge for, the requisite monitor, keyboard and mouse. Zonbu also lacks the monstrous hard drive to which we've accustomed ourselves in PCs these days. Instead, the machine includes a 4GB CompactFlash card containing the Gentoo Linux OS and a local cache (around 3GB) for a limited number of files. The bulk of your files likely will reside on your on-line storage space.
Here is where the "computing as a service" ethos comes in. Yes, you could purchase a Zonbu outright for $249 and go your own way, simply taking advantage of Zonbu's free upgrade service and storing your files on a Flash drive. What Zonbu would rather you do is pay for the convenience of its subscription service, which includes secure on-line storage space of varying sizes, secure backup, 30 days live support and e-mail support thereafter, and transparent upgrades of the OS and installed applications. You can pay full price and subscribe on a month-to-month basis, or if you prepay for a subscription, Zonbu will kick in a discount of $150 for two years or $50 for one year.
At the time of this writing, you can subscribe to a plan with 25GB of storage for $12.95 per month, 50GB for $14.95 or 100GB for $19.95.
The on-line storage system is nice, as Zonbu transparently manages the interplay between the 3GB local cache and the larger storage space. You also can go on-line anytime from any computer with a browser and access your files.
So, let's take a look at what we've got here with Zonbu. Consider that you're getting a machine loaded with a 1.2GHz low-power Via C7 processor and 512MB of RAM, but no hard drive, mouse, monitor or keyboard. Let's also say you purchase the 50GB of storage/service plan for two years, as well as the optional Wi-Fi dongle and CD-RW/DVD drive, all of which will set you back around $500. Then, consider that you will have to renew your subscriptions after those two years, or else drag all of your files down onto your own storage device.
From another angle, consider Zonbu's conveniences, such as its diminutive and quiet presence and letting someone else worry about backup, security and updating tasks. In addition, if you're bouncing around the globe, think of how nice it would be to log on from any computer in the world and access all of your files. As always, the trade-off is time or money. Personally, I would pay for this convenience when getting less geeky friends or family running Linux and minimizing their support requests to me.
Don't forget that Zonbu is a power-miser, consuming roughly 10–15 Watts, depending on the load, which compares well with laptops. Most PCs of similar robustness (without monitor) will gulp 60–100 Watts or more, depending on numerous factors. Zonbu's marketing folks say you'll save more than 1,200 kilowatt hours over the course of a year, which seems generous given their assumption that a typical PC averages 175 Watts, but let's be conservative and assume a savings of half that amount—that is, 600 kilowatt hours. I currently pay $0.07 per kilowatt hour, which would save me $42 over the course of a year.

Glasgow's melting. The temperature is rising and so is the murder rate. Douglas Brodie, ex-policeman, ex-soldier and newest reporter on the Glasgow Gazette, has no shortage of material for his crime column. But even Brodie balks at his latest subject - a rapist who has been tarred and feathered by a balaclava-clad group. Brodie soon discovers a link between this horrific act and a series of brutal beatings.
As violence spreads and the bodies pile up, Brodie and advocate Samantha Campbell are entangled in a web of deception and savagery. Brodie is swamped with stories for the Gazette. But how long before he and Sam become the headline?
©2012 Gordon Ferris (P)2012 Isis Publishing Ltd
"Gordon Ferris does it again. Fantastic story."
I would consider it better because the narrator takes on each character and you become part of the book.
Brodie was my favourite character as he can mix with any class of person.
I have listened to other performances of Angus King narrating Complicity by Ian Banks and also others by Gordon Ferris. I know if Angus is narrating I will enjoy the book, he puts so much emotion and feeling into the characters that they become alive.
Very much so.

More advanced programmers appreciate some of the additional structure, but shell commands to script some capabilities are no longer easy (complex dbus-send commands, non-obvious configuration location and no longer human readable content) or impossible.
And the alternative to the inscrutable command-line interface and configuration files is an inscrutable GUI, which may or may not work properly, and is dependent on a massive desktop environment, and may be completely redesigned at any point.
