Connolly, Eshoo release draft IT procurement bill
Friday - 1/31/2014, 5:07pm EST
No mention in the State of the Union. Kicked out of the Defense Authorization bill for 2014. Reforms to federal IT aren't garnering the type of support many thought they would after the HealthCare.gov debacle.
But wait, here comes another attempt.
Reps. Ann Eshoo (D-Calif.) and Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) released a draft version of the Reforming Federal Procurement of IT (RFP-IT) Act.
"Our draft bill puts proven best practices to work by instituting a White House office of IT procurement and gives all American innovators a fair shake at competing for valuable federal IT contracts by lowering the burden of entry," said Eshoo in a statement.
Connolly, who also co-authored the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA), said large-scale IT failures remain too commonplace in government.
"Our RFP-IT discussion draft recognizes that transforming how the federal government procures critical IT assets will likely require bolstering ongoing efforts to comprehensively strengthen general federal IT management practices with targeted enhancements that promote innovative and bold procurement strategies from the White House on down," Connolly said in a statement.
The draft bill details the basic ideas of how to improve federal IT procurement by:
- Creating a new Digital Government Office within the Executive Office of
the President to review major IT projects before they begin. The office would
depend on "top IT talent" to review all major IT projects and help agencies plan
the contracting process. The federal chief technology officer would run this
office with a goal of overseeing and advising agencies on technology to improve
citizen services and government outcomes. The CTO also would oversee the
Presidential Innovation Fellows program
- Having GSA establish and manage a fund to support the activities of the DGO by
using 5 percent of the fees collected under governmentwide acquisition contracts
and GSA schedules.
- Codifying the fellows program and call for participants to serve for 6-to-13
- Enabling more small businesses to bid on IT contracts without having to spend thousands on compliance costs by lifting the threshold for a streamlined contracting process to $500,000 from $150,000.
Reaction to the draft has been cautious.
Mike Hettinger, senior vice president for the public sector at TechAmerica, said there are several provisions in the bill that need more discussion.
"One of the main goals of the bill — to open the federal government market to small and innovative business — is a worthy one," he said. "We believe increasing the simplified acquisition threshold for the purchase of IT from $150,000 to $500,000 for small businesses helps foster this goal. But, we are concerned however that the creation of an Office of the federal CTO within the White House with the power to 'prescribe such regulations regarding procurement' may step on the current responsibilities of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy."
Hettinger added TechAmerica also wants more details about the DGO's charge to review every proposal for major IT systems. He said the definition of "major IT systems" seems overly broad and could include weapons systems.
RFP-IT will need support from high-ranking Republicans to make any real progress.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is likely to take another crack at FITARA this session. With Connolly as the co-author of FITARA too, it wouldn't be surprising to see some elements of the RFP-IT Act merged into it.

Capsule reviews: 'Paul,' 'Limitless'
Capsule reviews of films opening this week:
"Limitless" - Bradley Cooper shows he can truly act, truly command a screen - and not just swagger and preen - and his performance goes a long way toward making this sci-fi thriller more entertaining, and more plausible, than it probably should be. Cooper stars as Eddie Morra, a struggling and depressed New York writer who takes a magical pill called NZT that allows him to tap into his full potential. Suddenly, he's not only pounding out chapters, he's cleaning up, picking up new interests, learning new languages and wowing everyone he meets. More importantly and more realistically, he does the thing we'd all do with frighteningly expanded brain power: He turns it into a way to make millions of dollars. Fast. Director Neil Burger, whose first feature was the intriguing "Interview With the Assassin" from 2002, moves the story forward with an infectious energy. He probably didn't need to rely on some of the visual tricks he employs, though - words dropping from the ceiling to indicate a break in Eddie's writer's block, or multiple Eddies accomplishing tasks around the house. Still, Cooper is surprisingly good as the shlubby, stubbly version of his character in the beginning, and as the wildly improved version of himself on NZT. Robert De Niro is quietly fierce (and does some of his best work in a while) as the financial guru who's fascinated by Eddie, while Abbie Cornish probably doesn't get enough to do as Eddie's on-again, off-again girlfriend, who's skeptical of the new him. PG-13 for thematic material involving a drug, violence including disturbing images, sexuality and language. 105 min. Three stars out of four.
- Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic
"The Lincoln Lawyer" -Matthew McConaughey stars as a lawyer who drives around Los Angeles ... in a Lincoln. It has nothing to do with the capital of Nebraska or the former president. While you're watching it, though, you'll wish it did. Director Brad Furman's film, which John Romano wrote based on the Michael Connelly novel, has the slick, disposable feel of the sort of legal drama you could find any night of the week on primetime TV. From the opening titles and underdeveloped characters to the quick pacing and flat lighting, "The Lincoln Lawyer" seems insubstantial, recycled and forgettable. McConaughey plays Mick Haller, a cocky, sleazy defense attorney who thinks he's got it all figured out. But, because this is a McConaughey movie, his character will have his comeuppance, and it comes in the form of a high-profile case. Beverly Hills real estate heir Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe) is accused in the rape and attempted murder of a prostitute. Louis insists he's innocent, so it should be no problem. But this pretty boy is, naturally more dangerous than he looks. Despite the many twists and turns, Mick actually ends up learning nothing and has no arc. Among the strong but woefully underused supporting cast are Marisa Tomei as Mick's ex-wife; William H. Macy as his best friend, a private investigator; and Bryan Cranston as a homicide detective whose screen time looks suspiciously truncated. R for some violence, sexual content and language. 119 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

An ear examination is a thorough evaluation
of the ears that is done to screen for ear problems, such as
hearing loss, ear pain, discharge, lumps, or objects in the ear. An ear
examination can detect problems in the ear canal, eardrum, and the middle ear,
such as
infection, excessive
earwax, or an object like a bean or a bead.
During an ear examination, an instrument called an
otoscope is used to look at the outer ear canal and
eardrum. An otoscope is a handheld instrument with a light, a magnifying lens,
and a funnel-shaped viewing piece with a narrow, pointed end called a speculum.
A pneumatic otoscope has a rubber bulb that your doctor can
squeeze to give a puff of air into the ear canal. This allows the doctor to see how the eardrum moves.

Dozens of Santa Clarita Valley residents attended graveside services for Connie Worden-Roberts Saturday at Eternal Valley Memorial Park in Newhall.
A longtime Santa Clarita Valley resident praised for decades of community building and her key role in the city's formation, Worden-Roberts died Aug. 12 at 5:50 p.m. in Canyon Country of an illness, according to family members. She was 83.

"Connie was incredibly knowledgeable of matters regarding the chamber and the city," said Councilmember Bob Keller. "With the passing of time I continued to get to know Connie more and as I learned more, I because increasingly improessed with her intellect and her never ending desire to work on matter effecting Santa Clarita. Connie Connie enjoyed a good laugh. She was not a joke teller but had a way of making people smile."
Service speakers included Jim Ventress, retired CEO of the Santa Clarita Valley Boys & Girls Club, Mayor Laurene Weste and others.
"It's conforting to be here with so many people who knew, loved and appreciated my mother," said Leon Worden, son of Worden-Roberts and president and CEO of SCVTV. "As you know she cared deeply and passionately about this community."
A choir sang the hymn "How Great Thou Art" before a flag was folded and presented to family members.
"She led by doing and without actually saying the words, her message was clear — if you're going to do something, do it right. Preferably, the first time. Be strong, informed and intelligent. Stand up straight. Speak clearly. Be proud, positive and true, and never let them see you sweat," said Ed Masterson on behalf of Kathy Norris, president and CEO of the Valley Industry Association. "And tho she be but little, she is fierce. And doesn't that say it all."

The services were open to the public, and attendees were asked to donate to Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clarita Valley in lieu of flowers.
A reception immediately following services was held at the Old Town Newhall Library on Main Street.
An influential member of a group that helped push for the city's formation, funding for the Cross Valley Connector and for the original clubhouse of the Boys & Girls Club of SCV, Worden-Roberts was given a key to the city of Santa Clarita and a Lifetime Achievement Award on May 16.
She was named Santa Clarita Valley Woman of the Year in 1975 and was one of the original members of Santa Clarita's first Planning Commission, as well as a leader in the formation of Santa Clarita as a city when it split from Los Angeles County.
Here are the contents of a page dedicated to Worden-Roberts created by the Santa Clarita Valley Man and Woman of the Year:
Worden-Roberts, who has epitomized community building and leadership in its finest for almost four decades, was honored as Santa Clarita Valley's Woman of the Year back in 1975.
In the 31 years that have passed, this remarkable lady has neither slowed down nor has withdrawn from public service or her volunteer contributions.
While the title of SCV Woman of the Year may be bestowed on an individual only once, Connie has deserved it many times. In fact, she has also been named "Woman of the Year" three times by the California State Legislature, and was recipient of the "Lifetime Achievement Award" by the SCV Press Club.
Connie Worden grew up in Minnesota and graduated with a B.A. in English from San Jose State College. She did accounting work while in college.She moved to the Santa Clarita Valley in 1970, and worked with programs for gifted children at CSUN. During this time she was active in numerous civic and volunteer organizations in the Santa Clarita Valley. In 1974, she was among the first women elected to the Boys & Girls Club governing board. She worked on the Club's benefit auction during its formative years, and served as Auction Coordinator in 1980 when the Auction first surpassed the $100,000 revenue mark.
In 1975 she was elected to the Board of the (then-named) Newhall-Saugus-Valencia Chamber of Commerce. She organized and headed for many years the Chamber's Transportation Committee which operated as a quasi-civic body to oversee local traffic needs and road construction.
Also in the '70s she was elected to the Hart School Board of Trustees, the North County Citizens Planning Council, the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital speakers bureau, and the Placerita Canyon Nature Center Association.
In early 1980, she worked as a special assistant to the president of HR Textron, and then with Assemblywoman Marian La Follette.
Connie was an active leader in the Canyon County Formation Committee which attempted twice in the late '70s to form the Santa Clarita Valley into a separate county. She was equally active a decade later in the incorporation of the City of Santa Clarita.She also found time to serve as chair of the League of Women Voters. And she worked on special programs for children at Wiley Canyon Elementary School.
In 1990, Connie started her own business as the Transportation Management Association. She was appointed by Supervisor Michael Antonovich to the North County Transportation Coalition. She has been active as a board member in the Valley Industrial Association and she serves as the co-chair of the SCV Transportation Alliance.
Even after 30 years, Connie Worden is still serving on the governing board of the SCV Boys & Girls Club, and she has just been re-elected to the SCV Chamber of Commerce Board for 2005-2008.
Ms. Worden-Roberts said of her 30-year-old honor of SCV Woman of the Year:
"It has been a great and continuing honor to have been selected by my peers to such a number of awards. It has been a distinct pleasure to have served in a variety of interesting capacities. I have had the privilege of learning a great deal about this fascinating Valley and the wonderful people who reside here."

100 DIME - Memphis
Free Pick - Memphis/Kansas Over the Total (analysis on Free Daily Video)
It has been an unbelievable run with basketball championship releases.
You saw all the numbers on the outside. Those numbers tell you all you need to know.
Has it been a frustrating run here the last 3 weeks? Absolutely and nothing I do tonight with this game will change that.
This tough run still can't take away all that I have accomplished at the Championship level when it comes to releasing big plays.
It's one game. Two teams. Handicap it, get on the right side and let the chips fall where they may.
Those chips have fallen correctly 9 of the last 12 overall, including 6 straight basketball championship releases, and three 100 Dime winners in a row.
Yes people. 3 straight 100 dime winners and trust me folks, I take 100 dime releases as serious as anything else in life.
Super Bowl 2007 was a solid 100 dime winner on the Colts over the Bears. Then in the Elite 8 last year I hit another 100 dime winner on the Gators over Oregon. Off that winner, I waited all the way until this year's Super Bowl to come with 100 dimer #3 in a row on the Giants over the Patriots.
I truly hope you are ready for 100 dime winner #4 in a row tonight. I really do because it wouldn't be a 100 dimer if I wasn't pretty darn confident Memphis was your winner tonight.
Now let's go find out why Memphis beats Kansas tonight to become your National Champion.
100 DIME MEMPHIS - There's something to be said about a Final Four Freshman, something special.
While I'm sure the names prior to my memory are beyond my years, I can remember as far back as 1977, when Mike O'Korean pumped 31 points through the nets for North Carolina, setting a then-Final Four freshman record, to lead the Heels past Jerry Tarkanian's Runnin' Rebels in the semifinals.
And through the years I've watched this tournament, not one single time can I say I've been more impressed than I am with Memphis' Derrick Rose. His array of acrobatic moves leaves me speechless at times, like the other day against UCLA, which he sliced through with such ease. A hot knife through butter isn't even a good enough cliché to use on him … he's silk!
Other than John Calipari and his experiences while coaching Massachusetts, I can't say there's another catalyst for my choice in Memphis as your 2008 National Champion. Honestly, we haven't seen phenomena like this since 2003, when Carmelo Anthony drowned Texas with 33 points, setting a national semifinals record for a freshman, and helped lead the Orangemen to the national title.
And quite frankly, I'd take Derrick Rose over the college-freshman player Carmelo Anthony.
Thirteen years ago Toby Bailey was extraordinary in guiding UCLA to an easy win over defending-national champ Arkansas, as he popped for 26 points to empower the Bruins, and no other freshman has scored more in a championship game. I believe that's about to change.
Now, a quick disclaimer, as I realize Rose missed media sessions yesterday because of a stomach ailment – that's old news. But he received treatment from trainers, according to wire reports, and he will play tonight … effectively. Christ, the kid eats Gummy Bears like they're going out of style from what I understand. Do I feel an endorsement looming????
But seriously, Memphis has been overdue to get to this point in the Big Dance. As far back as the Keith Lee days, this team has been knock, knock, knockin' on college basketball's heaven's door over the past two decades; and this year there's no need to knock, as Calipari has the key.
This team has defied odds, critics, doubters and every bracket filler-outer in the nation. What the heck was I thinking the other day, loving UCLA like that against a team that had already knocked off Tom Izzo's defensive Michigan State bunch and Rick Barnes' rugged Texas squad?
The Tigers were just too special. Rose was too thorny for them to get near, and his supporting cast was dynamic. The same can be said tonight, as Kansas' pressure defense won't amount to much when it gets a whiff of this kid. He absolutely embarrassed UCLA, and you know what, if the kid had Lester Hayes-stick 'em on his hands, he might have gone for 40. But the kid just isn't that greedy.
Chris Douglas-Roberts was the team's high-scorer, punching up 28 for the jungle stripes. Rose had 25, and never even made a three-point attempt. Instead, he made Darren Collison and Russell Westbrook look like those obstacles they used in last year's All-Star Weekend battle between Kobe and D-Wade. He went around, over and under people; he was shaking and baking from the free-throw line, and on the most replayed move of Saturday, he left a UCLA quintet dizzy from a drive to the bucket that simply awed the Alamodome crowd. When it was said and done, the Bruins were grabbing their ankles, dripping sweat and in need of oxygen. Hell, I was tired just watching Rose go back and forth. Honestly, if the kid wore green felt during a game you'd think he was a tennis ball.
Again, it starts and ends with Rose – that's the bottom line. But with Douglas-Roberts doing his part, Joey Dorsey being the Dutch Boy down low (he painted 15 rebounds on Saturday in the same key Love was in) and Antonio Anderson getting in on the scoring act, I don't see Kansas' defense mattering much after the road Memphis has traveled to get here.
Kansas opened up the 1-point favorite, and swarms of money has come in on Memphis – I realize this is normally a bad public-move sign. But this is not a game just being bet on by the squares. The largest betting groups in the world – yes, the real wise guys – are moving money on this game as well.
Why? It's simple: At 38-1, Memphis has the most single-season victories in college basketball history. And these are no Kardiak Kids either; this is a team that has won its five games in this tournament by an average of nearly 16 points. And by the way, teams favored by five or fewer points are 10-0 ATS the past 10 National Championship games.
Guys, I don't know which way the wind is blowing, what the weather will be like or if the sun will come out tomorrow. But what I do know, is along the lines of some of the most famous freshman performances in Final Four history – add Patrick Ewing and Michael Jordan in 1982, Pervis Ellison in 1986 and Greg Oden last season to the aforementioned fraternity – tonight we're going to see Derrick Rose don a Memphis uniform for the last time in his short, but story-book, collegiate career.
And he ain't headed to the NBA with a program and a T-shirt as his keepsakes from the Alamo. He's leaving with the National Championship and the Most Outstanding Player award.
Memphis is your 100-Dime winner boys, as it rolls to a 77-71 win over Kansas.
Re: Monday Service Plays
Cleveland Indians (3-3) at Los Angeles Angels (4-3)
Cleveland's right-hander Fausto Carmona will make his first career start against the Angels. The Indians are 4-1 in Carmonas last 5 road starts.
Los Angeles' left-hander Joe Saunders is 2-0 with a 1.32 ERA in two career starts against the Indians.
Go with the Angels with Joe Saunders on the hill, the lefty was impressive against the Twins last Wednesday. He tossed eight shutout innings.
Los Angeles Angels + 100

Re: Monday Service Plays
1.) CUBS -105 (1*)...I really had to stop myself from making this one a 2* Wager...and the only reason is the fact that I wanted to get + money on them and thought that the possibility may have been there for it...its the start of a new week and we have a lot of action ahead of us so there is really no need to lose site of that fact just because I feel we have a Winner...I definately see some more possibilities on deck for these Afternoon games that I will have up soon...and found a BEST BET for Tonight that I am hoping to Confirm...so lets lay the -105 on the Cubbies and look for Lilly to have a good game this time out and the Cubs to be able to get some runs across and get him the WIN...
2.) OVER 7.5 (-105) SD/SF (2*)...I would have loved to get 7 and would have had absolutely no Problem laying -125 to get it...and because of that reason alone this one almost was going to be a 1* Total but I had said I wanted to get you Forum Members a nice 2* for the Free Card and this is the play that I feel we have the most value with...we all know Maddux can be hit for some runs and I really can't see Cain coming out and doing what he did in his 1st outing and needing only 8runs to CASH this Ticket looks like the right side...
3.) ORIOLES even (1*)...I know you are thinking how can I not be playing 2*s on this wager, especially since the O's have come through for us 2 Days in a Row and CASHED as our first 3* of the MLB Season....but remember, that was at +122 and its my responsibility to try and help you Manage your Bankrolls so that we can continue building...but after a Win like yesterday they should be flying high and Seattle should be hoping they can get out of Baltimore with their confidence in tact...now I know Cabrera scares some bettors but the truth is, the guy had the worst bull-pen support in the entire MLB, and there were flashes of excellent talent prior...lets go ahead and look to pick up one more Unit with the O's before they ship Seattle away shaking their heads wondering what just happened...
4.) UNDER 9.5 (-120) SEA/BAL (1*)...this series has gone from 11runs, to 10runs, to 5runs...and although I am not predicting a 3run game...I do feel that being able to get that hook on the 9 is just too nice to pass up in this one...lets go ahead and look for Balt to get the Win again at home and keep this game Under the Total for the 4th and Final Day Play for Monday....Best of Luck
Re: Monday Service Plays
Karl Garrett
Very impressed with the Tigers right now, and while Kansas certainly did a number on North Carolina on Saturday, I don't think the quick turnaround time to prepare for Memphis is going to work in Kansas' favor tonight.
The Tigers just present too many tough matchups for their foes, and while Kansas is better equipped than most at matching up with the Tigers, the G-Man's gut tells him that Memphis is the winner tonight.
What the Tigers did to a legit Texas team, and what they then did to one of the best defensive teams in the nation in UCLA, tells me they are going to be very, very tough on the Jayhawks tonight.
Obviously both teams have had very special season's, but the G-Man's money is on the Tigers tonight.
If I am backing Memphis to win this game, then it follows that I am playing the OVER.
The Jayhawks have been UNDER in all of their Big Dance games, while the Tigers have been OVER in all of their tourney games. Memphis loves to force the pace, and the transition baskets they have been getting in this tournament coupled with the timely 3-point shooting will see to it that this game also heads OVER the total.
As defensive-minded as the Jayhawks are, they do love to shoot the 3-ball, and run the court as well. Kansas is going to get sucked into playing a Memphis-type of game, and this one is heading OVER the total.
The Tribe left Oakland yesterday with the 2-1 win over the A's, and now they are on to a set with the Angels.
Both Carmona, and Saunders were lights-out in their first start, and I expect them to be tough on the hitters once again tonight.
This game is priced at a near pick, and the G-Man is going to go with the Indians to draw first blood in this 3-game set.
Go Tribe!
Re: Monday Service Plays
The Duke's Sports
San Diego (-102) [Maddux over Cain] for 1 Unit
Padres/Giants 4:35: The Padres have won 14 of the last 18 in this series and we'll stay on SD here. SF is struggling to produce runs (2 runs per game) and we don't think AT&T Park will help any as the Giants gear up for their home opener. We believe Greg Maddux still has some stuff left to stifle this average Giants' lineup with limited power (2 HRs). Maddux controls an 18-6 team mark with a 2.84 ERA pitching vs the Giants. The Padres, however, are batting a healthy .284 vs righties despite driving in just 3.1 rpg. Nevertheless, we'll side with SD to get enough of Matt Cain, who has not gotten any run support from his mates, especially in this series. Cain who has pitched brilliantly against SD, is only good for 7 innings tops, and then the shaky Giants' bullpen has to take over. And day games have not been good to the Giants over the last three seasons (47-66 including 0-4 this season). We'll grab the Padres.

Teddy June's College Basketball NCAA Championship Winner (8-0 Last 3 Days, 16-3 Last 19 Selections Overall)
My 10* College Basketball NCAA Championship Winner is the Memphis Tigers minus the points over the Kansas Jayhawks. Well here we are another College Basketball season closes tonight as the 36-3 SU Kansas Jayhawks face off against the 38-1 SU Memphis Tigers. Memphis finished their 3rd straight impressive win in the tournament with a 78-63 victory over UCLA as 2 point chalk, that followed an 18 point win over Texas as 3.5 point chalk and an 18 point victory over Michigan State as 5.5 point chalk. Quite impressive to beat 3 teams that at one point or another were in the top 10 in the rankings, 2 of which were in the top 10 basically the entire year in Texas and UCLA. Meanwhile Kansas is coming off a very impressive performance over North Carolina in which they exposed the Tar Heels weak defense and heavy reliance on settling around the perimeter. They were able to expose UNC down low as well just like Memphis was able to expose UCLA in the paint. Kansas' tournament resume is not quite as impressive with a narrow win over Davidson and blowouts over Villanova, UNLV and Portland State. This will be the third straight game I will back Memphis after fading them against Mississippi State for a winning ticket and I will say this, the most impressive team from Game 1 of the season until now has been the Memphis Tigers bar none. Their terrific non-conference schedule at the beginning of the year which included Oklahoma, UConn, USC, Georgetown, Arizona, and Gonzaga was flat out impressive. I think their lone loss has really only helped them but allowing for them to be relaxed and not worrying about the undefeated season. Their dismantling of Michigan State, Texas and UCLA in the tournament has been impressive. I've said this over and over again in their recent games; Derrick Rose is the best point guard in the nation and in my opinion the best asset to his team. Rose while only a freshman plays like a senior veteran in the way he takes control as the floor general. This kid absolutely will be a NBA star more than any other player that will step out on the court tonight. His speed is very deceptive as he gets up and down the court, always takes high percentage shots and he is always plays in control. He absolutely dominated the UCLA defense which included 2 Pac-10 defenders of the year and while I do think Kansas will muscle him a bit more with Chalmers, Collins and Robinson but I still feel that the Jayhawks will not be able to contain him. The two other keys for Memphis have been CDR and then the big 3 down low. CDR versus Rush will be a very good matchup but I see CDR being able to take him off the dribble and being able to maneuver better than the UNC guards were able to. CDR is very much underrated and doesn't get a lot of credit one because he plays at Memphis but two because he is extraordinarily crafty in finding angles to make buckets. At times this game will get into a track meet and what I like about Memphis that UNC doesn't do is Coach Cal makes sure his kids not only get back on defense but that they actually guard them. Memphis is very much underrated defensively as they finished top 10 in FG% against, 3PT% against and PTS against. What I also like that they do is they come right at you with quick, efficient fast breaks that generally always lead to something good. CDR and Rose finish on a fast break better than any guards in the nation in my opinion. This game will come down Memphis' ability to guard around the perimeter, their deceptive quickness, their depth, their unselfishness, their determination and the ability of their big man to bang the boards and get points in the paint. Memphis has flat out been the most impressive team the entire season of college basketball, they have something and they have turned it on in this NCAA tournament as you can just see the confidence when this team steps out on the floor. Kansas has had a great year as well but they are running into a Memphis team that has surprisingly been underrated due to the fact they come out of C-USA and a Memphis squad that has gotten no respect in the Media. I love the way Coach Cal has worked and handled this group he knows when to push buttons when to lay off he knows how to work the matchups and how to fit each players style into the scheme. When I go through the matchups in this one I expect it will be more competitive than some of the games we have watched recently especially considering both teams can d up. But when it's all said and done, I will back the hottest team in the country who is also the deepest team in the country with the best point guard in the country to get the job done tonight and win the National title. It is also noteworthy that favorites of 5 or less points in NCAA championship games are 10-0 SU and ATS in the last 10 tries. I currently have this line at -1.5 and have this rated at 10* up to -4. My 10* College Basketball NCAA Championship Winner is the Memphis Tigers minus the points. As always, Good Luck, Let's make some money

Entrance tests to be held on June 7, 8 and 9
Admissions to the engineering and medical courses in Annamalai University, Chidambaram, for the upcoming academic year 2013-2014 would be only through entrance tests, asserted Shiv Das Meena, State government-appointed Administrator.
Addressing the first ever press conference after he took charge as the Administrator on the university campus on Saturday Mr. Meena said that the entrance tests would be held on June 7,8 and 9, instead of the original schedule of May 10,11 and 12.
In the matter of admissions, the university would strictly follow the reservation formula of the State government. The applications for the entrance tests could be obtained either from the Study Centres of the university located across the State or at the university counters or could also be downloaded from the university website.
The last date for sending in the filled in applications is May 28. The entrance tests would be conducted in seven centres, including Coimbatore, Madurai, Tiruchi, Salem, Tirunelveli, Chennai and at Annamalai Nagar (Chidambaram).
Asked why the university was conducting entrance tests when the government had abolished it in the other universities, Mr. Meena said that since the institution was passing through a transition period and as the test schedule had already been announced it had become necessary to hold the tests.
However, he said that for the arts, science and marine biology courses admissions would be made on the basis of marks obtained in the qualifying examinations.
The Administrator further said that the number of MBBS seats would be 150 as per the Medical Council of India norms BDS seats — 50 as per the Dental Council of India norms and B. Pharm and B. Sc (Nursing) courses — 100 seats each as per the Pharmacy Council of India norms.
Fewer engineering seats
Mr. Meena hinted that the number of engineering seats that stood at 5,000 as of now might be scaled down to 2,500—2,700.
Cutting down the number of seats had been proposed by taking into consideration the faculty strength and the infrastructure availability. It would be decided on a rational and professional manner, he said.
For all the courses the university fixed tuition fees would be collected. As for the five-year integrated courses were concerned the Administrator also noted that the Syndicate and the Academic Council of the university had decided to award an undergraduate degree (at the end of the third year) and a postgraduate degree (at the end of the course) to the candidates.
Accordingly, the recruiting agencies such as the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission would be informed to recognise those degrees. Mr. Meena further said that the present curriculum for the various courses too were under scrutiny by the committees headed by the respective Deans and Heads of the departments.
These committees would finalise the matters relating to their respective subjects before the admission process commences.
Six committees formed
He also noted that six committees had been formed to take care of various aspects of university administration, such as security, sanitation, environment, health aspects, hostels, electricity and water supply and gardens.
Mr. Meena also noted that the university would involve the over 1,500 staff of the Study Centres in the Career Guidance Programme being organised by the School Education Department in schools. They would counsel the students about the courses available in the university so as to help in the intake of students.
Registrar Incharge N. Panchanathan, Deans N. Chidambaram (Medical Faculty) and RM. Kathiresan (Agriculture) participated.

Perfect from puppy to dog.
posted 5 years ago
I read that using the SS bowls for pets is the way to go, since they don't harbor bacteria/are nonpourous. I got a set for my cat and my puppy. My cat is the worst about pushing his food bowl across the room to eat, so it's been great. It also keeps his water colder for longer.
In the case of my large breed puppy, I didn't assemble the legs just yet (assemble = push them into the little holes and voila, it's elevated) It sits on the floor and keeps her bowls for being pushed around. When she gets a bit larger, I'll add the legs to elevate it.
It's not adjustable, each size bowl set goes to one certain height.
The scroll work design is a gorgeous wrought iron look. SS would be nice, too, since our kitchen is SS.
Pros: Easy to assemble, removable legs
Cons: choice of SS color would be appreciated

Decorative bowl
posted 6 years ago
I don't have this exact dog bowl, but a similar wrought iron, upright bowl for my Shiba Inu. It is decorative and easy to clean but most important it makes it easier for dogs to eat. The one I have is a little taller and saves their back and neck from the strain of eating out of bowls on the ground.
Pros: Affordable, easy to use and clean
Cons: None

MERIDIAN -- All four members of Idaho's congressional delegation came together to support gun safety in Meridian Tuesday.
U.S. Representatives Mike Simpson and Raul Labrador along with U.S. Senators Mike Crapo and James Risch held the event at the Sportsman's Warehouse on Fairview Avenue in Meridian.
The group gathered to promote the use of gun locks on firearms in the home. They worked with the National Shooting Sports Foundation and top local law enforcement to demonstrate and give away free gun locks.
Ada Count Sheriff Gary Raney, Canyon County Sheriff Kieran Donahue, and Meridian Police Department Deputy Chief Tracy Basterrechea were in attendance.
The event was focused on protecting children and promoting Project ChildSafe.
All four members of the congressional delegation made official comments.
With every right comes a responsibility, and that's what we're talking about here today -- is the responsibility to safely keep and bear arms, Sen. Risch told those gathered.
I will be going home today and talking about this to my children, and teach them what project child safe is doing, said Labrador.
However, the unavoidable topic of gun rights was also at issue.
This is the right way to approach gun safety, and to approach the firearms issue and second-amendment rights, said Sen. Crapo, addressing the crowd. In Washington, D.C. right now, we have a tremendous number of pressures. We have all kinds of ideas that are coming from the wrong directions about how we should deal with firearms in this country.
The event was sponsored by Project ChildSafe, a nationwide program that promotes safe firearms handling and storage practices among all firearm owners through the distribution of safety education messages and free firearm Safety Kits.

Jim and the Pepper Puffs
UPDATE Jan 28
Added Mock up of Book Cover and detail shots.
Edit: Added photos of some prototype plushes of "Winky".
He's got a magnet in his hand and a magnet in his pepper so he can hold it. These toys aren't for children, they're for a local shop here in Ohio, who wants to sell some of my plush toys.
Okay so I have decided to write a children's book, although I've always tried to avoid it before because of the "women only ever do children's stories" stigma. I've stopped caring and started writing...
Here's a little snippet from the story so far.
A long time ago, when humans and animals were friends, there was a little old farm. On this farm lived a kindly old man named Jim. Jim had a big garden on his farm where he grew all sorts of fruits and vegetables...
...but the most important fruit that Jim grew on his farm was the spicy pepper.
...Why is the spicy pepper the most important fruit? Because it attracts Jim's favorite animal to his farm! His special helpers, the Pepper Puffs!
The Pepper Puffs are very small, the size of a bunny rabbit, they have great big ears just like a rabbit too! Instead of hopping around, which they sometimes do, they use their little bat wings to flit around from plant to plant, gathering up all the tasty fruits and vegetables in Jim's garden.
The old man is based off, both, of my husband's grandfather that recently passed away and is named after him, and my grandfather. The book will be dedicated to them as well as 2 other people.
The little pixel icons I whipped up for fun... The blue one is Winky, He's the leader of the pepper puffs, the "yellow"/cream one is Boston *Cream Pies* he's a bit chunky, he's the resident taste tester he helps out Salsa the Chef *the red one* in the kitchen. The orange one is Tower, he's the tallest of the bunch and the resident know it all, he gives bad advice though he means well, The purple one is Sprinkle and the Green one is Wispy, they're the smallest of all the pepper puffs, not because of age, but they just developed that way, Wispy has very small wings so he has to flap them twice as much to keep up with the other pepper puffs, and Sprinkle is the resident girly girl, she's not so much prissy but more like a mother figure to the other puffs, she loves to be mothering everyone even if it can be rather ~smothering~ to the other Puffs.
The House, in the vector image, is a puffball mushroom, the door is a piece of pumpkin shell, the doorknob is a button, and the window is half of someone's old glasses. All of the Pepper Puffs live in a house like this.

I think the colors of the moon and the house are too similar. The crazy rendering is distracting to me, the only thing my eye really can rest on... is on the fruitbasket. It's not adding depth.
Colorwise, there's a lot of yellow going, but nothing that unifies the piece. You have style vs lightning problems here, and you kinda need to make a choice.
Also, as an environment, i'm wishing you added more than just the tiled path, adding some bushes around the house tells more about where they are. It now seems a bit too deserted/isolated. I'm also not sure what that thing on the left of the door is.
I like how you explain how they foraged the elements of their home, but i'm just wishing it showed that a bit better. Conceptwise it sounds really cute.

Talk about flavor explosion in your mouth!! What a wonderful rich pasta meal! So rich, yet I is low fat! Who would have guessed!? This is a crowd Pleaser!! Want rave reviews, make this! My kids love it, just without the shrimp. No problem more shrimp for us!! Thanks Holly!
OUTSTANDING recipe!
Very easy to prepare, but it comes together VERY FAST. Believe Holly when she says to cook the pasta first. This dish is a mess for most of its very fast pretparation and then it comes together all at once!
I used scallops and shrimp. I also substituted Gran Marnier for cognac. The subtle orange flavor was very good.
Use a good strong Hungarian Paprika.
Thanks Holly for a great one!

We all enjoyed this dish very much. I did not have any sour cream, so I used all yogurt and it was fine. The shrimp in the sauce was delicious. I think next time, though, I will mix the noodles in with the sauce before serving as the noodles seemed a little dry and bland with it just served over the top. I used a brandy we bought at a winery in Michigan that was made from their grapes. What wonderful flavors! We topped it off with fresh-grated parmesan cheese and served with salad, homemade bread and a bottle of Virginia chardonnay. Thank you!
I loved the rich & creamy sauce without the guilt (I also used low-fat yogurt & sour cream). I used olive oil instead of butter, so the end result was probably a little less flavorful than intended-- I ended up adding cayenne pepper & a hint of parmesan. The shrimp sauteed in paprika were absolutely delicious!
I have made this twice, LOVE IT!!! I use shrimp and sea scallops. I do not care for green pepper, so I used only red pepper. I also had no cognac and subsitiuted sherry. I also used vadalia onion rather than scallions. The end result was wonderful. The second time preparing it I used angel hair pasta rather than fettucine. We prefered the Angel Hair pasta to fettucine. Regardless of the changes the recipe is awesome. I will continue to enjoy this one!!! Thanks Holly for a great recipe!
We both really liked this recipe. I didn't find it rich at all. Thanks Holly
Thanks for the great recipe. We love it(minus the cilantro). It is so easy to prepare also.
This did taste fantastic; altho I'm only giving 4 stars because I added WAY more garlic and shallots (does anyone really measure these ingredients anyway??). But seriously, 1 tsp of garlic in a shrimp/pasta dish??! Ingredient wise it's an awesome dish and doesn't leave you with that heavy feeling that a typical creamy pasta dish often does. Will be making this often I'm sure, thanks for the great idea!

25.09.04 - European Middlweight champion Howard Eastman labored hard to defeat substitute Jerry Elliot (37-4-1) in a non title fight in Nottingham on Friday. Eastman out pointed Elliot over 10 rounds and was always in control, although he had some minor problems in round 5 when Elliot pressed the fight to Eastman and briefly hurt him. The victory keeps Eastman on course for a eliminator bout against Jermaine Taylor, in which the winner would land a showdown with Bernard Hopkins. Eastman out pointed Elliot 99-91 on the scorecards.

gene-for-gene resistance
suppressor mutants
|University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research
|Plant pathogens cause disease in many plants, which results in significant yield loss in crop plants world-wide. To defend against the invading pathogens, plants contain a specific pathogen defense system called gene-for-gene resistance. This system recognizes the presence of avirulence genes in pathogens. To understand how this process works, a genetic approach is being used with the model plant Arabidopsis. A variety of disease susceptible Arabidopsis, called RLD, were mutagenized and then screened by the researcher for mutants resistant to bacteria expressing the avirulence gene avrRPS4. These mutants were chosen for their phenotypic characteristics, and then screened for RLD background. The resulting mutants are called suppressors of RPS4-RLD, or srfr. Two independent srfr mutants (srfr1 and srfr3) specifically resistant to pathogens that express avrRPS4 have been identified from over two thousand specimens by the researcher. These suppressor mutants are the first to reverse disease susceptibility in an avirulence gene-specific manner, and provide a unique tool to identify additional important genes in the Arabidopsis disease resistance signaling pathway. Through genetic mapping of the srfr1 and srfr3 plants the researcher has determined that the primitive location for the mutation is on the bottom half of chromosome four. This was done by using known molecular markers and by examining recombination frequencies. With more refined mapping markers the exact location of the mutation will be identified. The knowledge gained from this project will ultimately be used to improve pathogen resistance in crop plants, thus increasing the yield of corn, soybeans and wheat

It's good to be local. Not just in this area, but anywhere. Locals know the best places to eat, the most scenic backroads, who has the cheapest gas in town, and the best fishing spots in the area.
Local's also have the power to exercise what I call "Local's Prerogative".
Local's Prerogative is the ability to go out to the local river/ski hill/hiking destination whatever, poke around for a little bit, and then leave if the fishing/skiing/hiking isn't too good and not feel guilty about it. Or, you could go out there and fish for an hour, feel satisfied, and head back to town.
Yesterday is a perfect example of this. I rose at 4am, got some stuff done and then felt like fishing. I was originally going to fish the upper Gallatin, but it's all blown out. Then I figured I'd head over to West and get some breakfast. Once I got there, I figured, ah, what the hell, I'll go see how the park looks.
I kinda moseyed through the park, stopped a couple times to look at the Madison, and of course had to stop on Riverside Drive to take a leak. (Family tradition). The Firehole didn't look too bad at all, and I wanted to try out some new water.
So I leisurely geared up, basking in the tourist free glory of early morning. One of the guys at work won't stop talking about Fountain Flats, so I headed upriver from the parking lot. The sun was bright and nary a cloud was to be seen, so I guessed the hatch would be a bit slow today.
After about a mile hike with only seeing one fish (and of course it would be the bruiser I spooked from under a bank), I was tired. Here is the first element of Local's Prerogative – I am on the banks of the Firehole on a beautiful morning and want to take a nap. Had I traveled here from some distant place, you can bet your ass I would have kept my line in the water all day long.
Of course, the very moment I pulled all my gear off and sat down I heard a splashy rise. Jumping to my feet, I could see them all the way across the river, feeding along the bank. Small mayflies (I'm asuming BWOs given the olive bodies) and larger Miller Caddis where in the air.
This led to two frenzied hours of adding tippets, fly changes, delicate drifts and fish. Not as many fish as last week, but I brought a good half dozen to hand and had another dozen or so jump the fly. Most of those were about as long as my reel is wide. However, I did catch the biggest fish I've ever gotten on that river. He was a solid 18" brown with a big pot belly and brilliant colors.
The fish up here seemed to be larger as a rule, looking longer and fatter than the ones I've seen down lower on the river. I rolled a couple of big ones, two of which surprised me so much I missed the hookset, forcing forth a fusillade of profanity that I don't think the family downstream appreciated. One trout in particular was consistently feeding along the bank for a solid hour, refusing everything I threw at him. Four flies and an extra two feet of tippet later, I got the bastard. Turns out he was a brookie. Surprised the hell out of me, I didn't even know brook trout were in here.
All in all, the day wore on, the hatch slowed down and the river got crowded. One dude snuck up behind me, moving closer and closer to where I was catching fish every time I turned around. He, needless to say, wasn't catching much. By the way dude, waders work better when you actually get in the water.
After 20 minutes with no rises I felt satisfied. Sure, I controlled a great bend of the river. I could have stayed there all day long and waited. Had I been passing through I bet I would have. But, with the rule of Local's Prerogative, I didn't feel the need.
So I fished for three hours and headed back, without a twinge of guilt or remorse for not staying and fishing all day. Had the river been too crowded or too dirty, I wouldn't have even bothered to string a rod.
Obviously, I'm using Yellowstone Park as an example here, as it is my local water. But it doesn't matter where you are or what your local water is. Doesn't matter if it's famous, big, small, freshwater, saltwater, whatever. The principle is the same. You can fish however long or short a time you want to, leave when you want, or hell, not even fish at all.
It's good being local, wherever local might be.

The price of banana has more than doubled in the past two months.
While the Tamil Nadu Banana Growers' Federation anticipated that it would further go up by 10-15 per cent, merchants said that there was no question of any further surge in prices.
T.M. Rajamanickam, a major banana commission agent here, pointed out that the price of poovan variety, which was selling around Rs. 5 a kg in November 2012, rose to Rs. 8 the next month and had now touched Rs. 15. In 2011, the maximum it fetched was only Rs 10.
Similarly, the price of rasthali which was Rs. 10 per kg is now hovering between Rs.15 and Rs. 20 a kg. The price of karpooravalli, which was Rs. 7-8 per kg last year, is now around Rs. 13 a kg. Tiruchi market receives banana from Thottiyam, Kulithalai, Mohanur, Kattuputhur, Musiri, Manachanallur, Lalgudi, Thirukkattuppalli, Pudukottai and Madurai.
Mr. Rajamanickam attributed hike in prices to poor arrivals. "There is a shortfall of 35 per cent. However, the current demand will not last beyond Thaipoosam (January 26) as Palani requires substantial quantity for panchamirtham," he said.
G. Ajeethan, general secretary of the federation, said the major reason was that planting had not been done at least in 20 per cent of the total banana area of two lakh acres in the State. In the tsunami-affected Cuddalore district, more than 30,000 acres had not been planted at all.
He said that the fear of water scarcity, especially in the Cauvery dependent districts like Erode, Namakkal, Karur, Tiruchi, Thanjavur, Pudukottai and Perambalur, was definitely haunting the farmers. "Banana requires an investment of Rs. 50,000 per acre and is a water-intensive and labour-intensive crop."
The water demand would virtually double if the temperature, which was hovering below 30 degree Centigrade now, touched 35 degree C. A banana fruit required 200 litres of water, he said.
The major reason for banana being raised in the Cauvery banks was the moisture content in the soil due to the aquifers. With nil flow in the Cauvery, the situation looked bleak and the total area might slump in the Cauvery belt, he said. He hoped that the State government would help the banana growers by paying the insurance premium for non-loanees also. Besides, he wanted the Agricultural Insurance Company (AIC) to adopt village-level assessment instead of firkha-level assessment for deciding the percentage of loss.
S. Suryanarayanan, Administrative Officer, AIC, said that there was a provision for including any block in Tiruchi district under the "localised loss assessment" of banana crops wherein even a "headcount" of affected fields was permitted. He felt that the Modified National Agriculture Insurance Scheme would be immensely beneficial to the banana growers.
He said the loanee farmers would have to pay only 3.9 per cent of the sum insured because an equal amount was borne both by the Centre and the State.

Gladstone's Wins $7.8M in Valet Lawsuit
By Karen Robes Meeks
LONG BEACH — A jury decided Wednesday that the developer of the Pike at Rainbow Harbor did not honor a lease provision to provide valet parking to the operators of Gladstone's Long Beach and awarded the waterfront restaurant $7.8 million in damages.
The Long Beach Superior Court jury ruled against Developers Diversified Realty Corp., finding the Pike developer in breach of contract and responsible for fraud.
An attorney for DDR said he was not in a position to comment on the case.
Supporters of Long Beach 4 Fish, the operators of the 330 S. Pine Ave. restaurant, hugged each other and their attorneys after the verdict, which came after six weeks of arguments and testimony by a number of people, including city officials.
"Gladstone's has been trying for four years now – since it opened its doors – to try to resolve this problem," said Gary A. Waldron, attorney for the restaurant operators.
Waldron said he "hopes this will send a message to DDR that they have a situation that they really need to attend to and resolve, for the benefit of the city and for the benefit of not only Gladstone's but the other restaurants at the Pike."
Before setting out to build its 425-seat restaurant by the water, Gladstone's operators negotiated in its lease with DDR that the developer would provide curbside valet services.
Instead, DDR provided limited valet service and oftentimes services were so understaffed that parking enforcement officers and police were needed to deal with the influx of people waiting to park.
Gladstone's tried to resolve the situation by trying to operate its own valet and purchasing three trams to shuttle guests to the main entrance.
Gladstone's said DDR's failure to deal with the parking issue adversely affected business.
"Promises were made prior to Gladstone's entering into its lease that valet parking would be immediately adjacent to the restaurant and restaurants such as Gladstone's," Waldron said. "That's an important feature people look to, the convenience of valet parking."
Despite the favorable verdict, it does not guarantee that Gladstone's will get the valet service it desires or more parking. The jury could only award monetary damages in this case, Waldron said.
"One would hope that this would let them know that the people of Long Beach – as reflected through the jury – are concerned that they are not honoring their obligation," he said. "They're not living up to their word and that they would take that to heart and do that."
Some jurors commented that the city should share some of the blame for the Pike's parking issues and should have helped to resolve them.
"I didn't necessarily side with DDR but I felt the responsibility sat more on the shoulders of the city than DDR," said one female juror, who declined to give her name. "I didn't feel that DDR should pay for the city's actions or inaction."
Gladstone's did not name the city a defendant in its lawsuit.
"Gladstone's viewed the city as an organization that had limited responsibility," Waldron said. "Although the parking circle itself is city property, the parking structure, the adjacent lot, the provision of valet services are all obligations of DDR."
City Attorney Bob Shannon said the city has been unhappy with DDR, which had taken "a very aggressive attitude with the city," in cross-examining several city witnesses.
"To try to attribute some responsibility to the city is really to divert the issue," he said. "DDR is responsible."

HoopsHype Aaron Brooks rumors
The sports world is focused on the biggest day of the football year as the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots clash at Super Bowl XLIX in Phoenix, Arizona. Excitement for the game has spilled into the basketball world as NBA players took to social media to join the conversation. NBA.com
Me: One shop question: how odd is it to be on a Bulls team that has this much depth and can actually score when guys are out? Aaron Brooks: The good thing is, you're just looking on somebody to play defense. You play defense, the more opportunities you have to score. And when the guys are out, that's just other shots for other people Jimmy having a heck of year and is irreplaceable of course, but Niko (Nikola Mirotic) has been playing big when guys go out. Normally it's at the four position but (Saturday) it was the three. He got a chance to go out there and get more minutes and show what he can do. He's a dynamic player. There's a lot of guys that's been in the league that have put up points, made buckets. When somebody goes down, it's their opportunity. NBA.com
Aaron Brooks played pee-wee football with fellow Seattle native Nate Robinson, starting when he was 7 years old. "We never lost, every age group," Brooks said before Thursday's game. Brooks and Robinson played AAU basketball and ran track together, but there's one sport Robinson refuses to play Brooks. "Aaron's a heck of a bowler," Robinson said. "He's probably the best bowler in the NBA, left or right handed. Him and his family have been doing bowling leagues since he was 2 or 3 years old." Arlington Heights Daily Herald
Mike McGraw: Nate is one year older than Brooks. They went to different high schools in Seattle but have been friends for a long time. Nate also said he's hoping Brooks isn't a one-and-done with the #Bulls, like a couple other successful backup PGs. #Bulls Twitter @McGrawDHBulls
They have quality depth in Aaron Brooks, whom Thibodeau fought to get on the roster to provide insurance in case Rose started slowly, Gibson and Mirotic, which management has insisted for two years would be worth the wait after coming over from Real Madrid. NBA.com
From the moment Brooks signed with the Bulls over the summer, Thibodeau has raved about the diminutive point guard. He loves Brooks' toughness, he loves his ability to create offensively, he just loves his game. Over the course of just a few short months, the pair has formed a bond that will be hard to break over the course of the season. That bond was evident again on Saturday night as Brooks scored 26 points, 19 in the fourth quarter, in the Bulls' 106-101 loss to the Boston Celtics. "I came in here lacking confidence," Brooks admitted. "Even when I doubted myself, he was there to tell me, 'You know what? I've watched you play, you've done well' and just to keep working hard. It's been a breath of fresh air for me." ESPN.com
"When you have a coach working with you instead of against you it just gives you more confidence to go out there and play hard and it gives you confidence in yourself," Brooks said. "It allows you to do a little bit more." ESPN.com
Brooks has fit seamlessly into the role that guys like C.J. Watson, John Lucas III, Nate Robinson and D.J. Augustin played before him: the backup guard in a Thibodeau system that loves to feature the point guard. With Derrick Rose's fragile health status seemingly always in question, Brooks has become the man that Thibodeau is leaning on more and more to get the offense going at various points throughout the game. "I love the guy because he's tough as nails," Thibodeau said. "You can start him, you can play him big minutes, you can play him in the fourth quarter, he's going to battle people and he's going to make the right play. He's got a high IQ. When he gets into the paint he knows where everyone is and he knows what everyone can do. And he leads guys into their strengths, covers up their weaknesses, he's just tough. He's a very good player, so I'm very pleased with what he's done." ESPN.com
Chuck Garfien: Aaron Brooks calls Doug McDermott "Ray." Why? "I thought that was his name. When I found out that it wasn't, I just kept calling him Ray." Twitter
Chuck Garfien: Is McDermott fine with Aaron Brooks calling him Ray? Brooks: "He's a rookie, he doesn't really have a choice." Twitter
The Chicago Bulls announced today the team has signed free agent guard Aaron Brooks. In accordance with team policy, terms of the contract were not announced. "We're excited to add a player as experienced and talented as Aaron to our group," said Chicago Bulls General Manager Gar Forman. NBA.com
The Bulls are working to finalize an agreement with free-agent guard Aaron Brooks, according to league sources. One source said the deal isn't finished but talks are in the advanced stages. Brooks, 29, would be added on a veteran's minimum exception to add scoring prowess in a reserve role. Chicago Tribune
Potentially following in the tradition of diminutive scoring point guards like C.J. Watson, John Lucas III, D.J. Augustin and fellow Seattle native Nate Robinson, free agent Aaron Brooks could be next in line to fill the role of the next Bulls' instant-offense scorer off the bench, CSNChicago.com has learned.

Bikeway segment nearly ready
Scenic ride almost complete from Chula Vista to Imperial Beach
While the county is not directly involved in decisions about the bikeway, Cox has been. He is on the San Diego Association of Governments Bayshore Bikeway Working Group. He also co-chairs the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy's Active Transportation 2010 Campaign.
Each city around the bay – San Diego, National City, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach and Coronado – maintains its stretch of the bikeway. Work on the new segment, which is in San Diego, was paid for using state and local transportation funding.
At a recent tour of the bikeway, San Ysidro Chamber of Commerce president and avid bicyclist Israel Adato said the Bayshore Bikeway is known worldwide for its views and protected path.
"It is a gorgeous ride," Adato said. "There are views of downtown, the (South Bay) saltworks, Point Loma, Coronado and Tijuana."

2.0 out of 5 stars The roofing book for those who have never been on a roof,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: Roofing Construction and Estimating (Paperback)
This is an informative book that would be acceptable material for the person who has never been on a roof. He covers most roofing products in a adaquate manner explaining many of the basic princibles. However, as a roofer, it would have been nice to see what he considers acceptable manhours per square on each product, using his experiance, instead of using information drawn from other books.

Our Testimonials
Rebecca and her staff went above and beyond in hosting my daughter's recent wedding. Our event was flawless: the food was amazing, the service was impeccable, and the overall "feel" of the wedding and reception was perfect. Our guests are still raving that this was the best wedding they had ever attended. Thank you!
