Tiger freshman Francie Szostak is now a school record-holder following day one action in Austin
Feb. 27, 2008
AUSTIN, Texas - Following an exciting first day of action at the Big 12 Championships, the Mizzou women's swimming and diving team (13-1, 3-1 Big 12) totaled 64 points and now stands in a three-way tie for second with Texas and archrival Kansas behind leader Texas A&M. Although only two events were swum on Wednesday, the Tigers toppled a pair school records.
"What a great way to get things started," Mizzou Head Coach Brian Hoffer said. "I could not be more impressed with the women today, especially our 800 free relay. That was one of the best coaching experiences of my life, and I've been coaching a long time. We are all excited for what's to come in the next three days."
Seniors Taye Patterson, Jill Bastien and Arica Jacinto teamed up with freshman Francie Szostak to get things started in the 200 medley relay. The senior-laded squad combined for a fourth-place time of 1:43.62, good enough for third in school history. Claiming the 10th spot on the all-time MU list with a time of 1:45.11 was the Tiger team of senior Sarah Menefee and juniors Kayla Bowcutt, Allie Bennett and Lori Halvorson.
The Tigers headed into the second and final event of the evening, the 800 free relay, with a fourth-place score of 30. They would not remain in fourth for long, however, thanks to a come-from-behind, multi-record-setting performance by Halvorson, Szostak, sophomore Colleen Gordon and junior Jill Granger. Halvorson came out of the gates with a bang, and a new school record in the 200 free after touching in at 1:48.40. Gordon was up next with another strong split to keep the squad in third behind the Aggies and Longhorns heading into Szostak's third leg. The freshman quickly took over, surpassing the lady `Horn and leaving it to Granger to anchor away with the team in second. Granger never looked back, touching the wall in a runner-up and school record time of 7:11.18. The quartet's mark eclipses the previous school record by more than 11 seconds and puts them in definite contention for Nationals with an NCAA "B" cut time.
"It's a really exciting feeling," Halvorson said. "When we were up there before the race, we talked about how we wanted to do something that would get the whole team going. After it was over it was great to see everyone's faces and to know that we just pumped up the whole team. The possibility of going to NCAAs makes it all the better. I think everyone's looking forward to more fast swims over the next few days."
Thursday's second day of action at Texas' Jamail Swimming Center is sure to bring continued excitement. Swimming prelims are set to get underway at 10 a.m., with 1-meter diving to follow at 1 p.m. Fans can catch live results on mutigers.com and tape-delayed television coverage on FSN Midwest beginning at 12 p.m.

Date — 25 September, 2013
Schaffhausen, 25 September 2013 – With its third new Portuguese model for this year, Swiss luxury watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen makes another exciting addition to this technically sophisticated watch family. The optical features of the Portuguese Hand-Wound Eight Days in red gold and stainless steel make it an unmistakable part of this top-quality design line.
The Portuguese watch family from IWC Schaffhausen has one of the longest and far-reaching traditions of them all and is the epitome of clarity, purist elegance and innovation, combined with precision and state-of-the-art mechanics. At the same time, the Portuguese timepieces hark back to bygone days, when the spirit of discovery drove fearless seafarers to exchange the safety of the harbour for the open seas and to give in to their longing for exploring uncharted territories. The Portuguese watches still carry this gene, this irresistible yearning for travel, to this day. But, above all, this IWC collection with its precision instruments acknowledges ongoing technical development and presents an extensive range of elegant timepieces.
The Portuguese watch family from IWC Schaffhausen has one of the longest and far-reaching traditions of them all and is the epitome of clarity, purist elegance and innovation, combined with precision and state-of-the-art mechanics.
The latest addition to the family is the Portuguese Hand-Wound Eight Days (Ref. IW510204/IW510202/IW510203). It owes its classic look to the new case design twinned with an arched-edge front glass. The Portuguese Hand-Wound Eight Days in red gold (Ref. IW510204) with its silver-plated dial, Arabic numerals and the characteristic feuille hands is the essence of simple aesthetics. The signal-red "60" in the seconds dial is a small, but attractive detail. The sister models in stainless steel feature a black (Ref. IW510202) or silver-plated dial (Ref. IW510203) with rhodium-plated numerals and hands. Features common to both include the typical railway-track-style chapter ring and the IWC manufactured 59215 calibre. This movement, a member of the 59000-calibre family, is a modern design featuring conspicuous bridges and plates and guarantees the high level of ruggedness and reliability required in a watch designed for everyday use. In addition to this, the watch has a very long power reserve, allowing it to run for exactly 192 hours – or 8 days – without needing to be rewound. Precisely how much time remains before the owner needs to wind the crown can be read off the power reserve display visible through the sapphire-glass back on the reverse side of the watch. This sophisticated arrangement ensures that the dial retains its uncluttered, purist clarity.
Leather straps made by Italian luxury shoe manufacturer Santoni underscore the unusual character of the new Portuguese Hand-Wound Eight Days. The versions in stainless steel are fitted with black straps, while the red gold model comes with a strap in dark brown. The renowned Italian shoe brand, now run by the second generation of the family, Giuseppe Santoni, uses a complicated manufacturing process to give its leather the characteristic patina. The technique leaves the leather looking as if it had already enjoyed several years of use by a careful owner, despite the fact that it is brand new. The same idea applies to the straps Santoni produces exclusively for IWC. Apart from the subtle gradation of colours, characteristic of the brand, the exquisite straps are also recognizable from the orangecoloured leather lining.

Case Study: Prêt-a-Manger
Prêt-a-Manger Orders "Data to Go" with EVault
The Prêt-a-Manger brand is familiar name on many UK streets. Its 125 UK stores offer coffee, other hot and cold drinks, and a range of fresh salads and sandwiches to customers wanting anything from breakfast, lunch or just a coffee break at almost any time of day.
As the company and its number of stores has grown, the amount of data has also increased, prompting the company to re-examine its data management and protection processes. Prêt currently has 25 Microsoft 2000 servers at its headquarters, which store and manage about 500GB of information. Each Prêt store has a dedicated point-to-point line connecting it to this central server site.
Prêt's significant data growth created three primary IT objectives related to backup and recovery:
- Nightly backup required improvement, as backup windows were being encroached by the growing data volumes
- Non-sales data stored remotely at individual stores needed to be stored and backed-up centrally to prevent this data being lost
- Implement disaster recovery processes by having backups electronically sent to a second co-location facility
Recognising that replication software is often expensive and bandwidth-intensive, Prêt's IT staff, headed by Mike Hicks, wanted to explore other options.
The team was satisfied with how sales and ePOS data was being backed up. However, the human resource information, email and some sales data held at each Prêt outlet was of concern. As part of its disaster recovery initiative, Prêt wanted to make sure that this important information, which included staff rotas, contact information and local documents would be backed-up. With this data residing locally, an in-store hardware failure could result in data loss and significantly impacting a store's ability to function effectively.
"It's not unusual to experience these types of failures since hardware often gets given something of a rough ride in a retail environment," Hicks explains. "We needed to ensure that local data was also backed up centrally so if remote hardware failure occurred, a store could quickly get back all the data important to the smooth running of the business."
After evaluating other backup and recovery software including, Tivoli Storage Manager and Bakbone Software's NetVault, Prêt selected EVault Software offered by TriSys, a value-added reseller, specialising in storage management.
"EVault Software works very well with our current infrastructure whereas the other solutions would require a LAN upgrade to work effectively, which was additional significant investment we felt wasn't necessary at this time for Prêt's IT requirements," says Hicks.
Following a very smooth installation and training process, EVault Software delivered on the promise of centralising the backup of Prêt's stores, as well as being able to easily backup to a second site to deliver disaster recovery without incurring additional complexity and cost.
Servers in New York and Hong Kong—where the company has 10 and six stores respectively—are also backed up to the London HQ via a VPN (virtual private network) using EVault Software so creating a single, global backup strategy.
Leverage, Optimize and Minimize the Process
"EVault Software enabled us to leverage our existing infrastructure to get data off-site quickly to the co-location site without an elaborate staging process. Online backup is much faster and we have been able to eliminate the time spent previously on tape management and minimise the administrative errors inherent in this process," Hicks explains.
Each night EVault InfoStage streamlines processes by enabling backups from the Windows 2000 servers to storage arrays at Prêt's headquarters and the co-location site simultaneously, so that both exactly reflect the other—critical in the event of restore being required. The automated nature of online backup means that management of backup and restore only takes a few mouseclicks. This was in stark contrast to Hicks' previous experience of having to locate and mount tapes, then search for the data and hope the integrity of media was good enough to deliver the required data.
Hicks concludes, "InfoStage has significantly simplified our data management process. Backup of data from London, New York, Hong Kong and all our UK stores happens seamlessly to our London headquarters and our co-location facilities."
With InfoStage in place, the next stage of the process—planned to roll out by the summer of 2005—will see Prêt installing EVault software agents to back up any locally stored, back-office information held on desktops or laptops.

Product Reviews
Scratchy material in sleeves, but cute top.
Overall this is a cute top, but the sleeves are scratchy and the size runs small. The material used to create the puffed feature of the sleeves is too scratchy to bear. I am going to have to cut it out to be able to wear the top. It is very scratchy, stiff netting. Also, I wear a women's size 6-8 and generally S or M in women's tops. I ordered a M and if it was any smaller I could not wear it. It pulls on over head with no buttons or zippers, so it is a little snug pull on. A side zipper would have helped.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? As pictured.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Average.
- How accurate was the sizing? Ran small.

A House stenographer was pulled out of the House chamber while shouting into the microphone during Wednesday's vote on a compromise bill to end the government shutdown and raise the debt limit.
The woman was Dianne Reidy, an official reporter with the Office of the Clerk, two sources told ABC News.
She was heard shouting "the House is divided," according to one source. She was pulled off the rostrum by chamber security staff.
"He will not be mocked," the woman said, according to an audio recording of the incident posted online by Public Radio International reporter Todd Zwillich. "This is not one nation under God. It never was."
"The greatest deception here is this is not one nation under god! It never was. Had it been, it would not have been! The Constitution would not have been written by Freemasons!" she added.
The incident caused a moment of chaos in the chamber as the presiding member, Rep. Ileana Ros Lehtinen, R-Fla., repeatedly banged the gavel, trying to restore order.
According to the Washington Post, Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., expressed "sympathy" for the stenographer "because something clearly happened there."

Patients suffering strokes or transient ischemic attacks (TIA or mini-strokes) due to narrowing of the arteries of the brain may benefit from interventions to create new paths for the flow of blood to the brain. Medical management alone has been associated with very high risk of recurrent stroke and death. EDAS surgery is a form of minimally invasive management that can induce new vessel formation to bring additional blood flow to the brain preventing stroke.

Helmet storage
Similar to those described on the Zoot and Blueseventy transition bags.
Had to carry my Lazer aero helmet though...
I'd suggest putting your dry-clothes in a plastic bin-liner or carrier bag and then they will stay perfectly dry. If the tri-bag was made fully waterproof, it wouyd be quite bulky & heavy.
Is it suitable for running as well?

Wednesday March 22, 2006
LONDON: Motorcycling's King Kenny, three times 500cc world champion Kenny Roberts, is looking forward to the start of a new Grand Prix season more than he has in years.
The 54-year-old Californian has come back from the brink after a 2005 nightmare that threatened to sink his British-based MotoGP team.
Team KR missed a fistful of races after engine suppliers KTM pulled out but now they are revving up for the new season starting in Spain on Sunday with Honda support and another champion in the saddle Roberts' son Kenny junior who has joined from Suzuki.
We're back to it being an all-American team and enjoying it, Roberts senior told Reuters.
Kenny's got a big smile on his face, he really actually enjoys riding the thing and we enjoy building it.
It's sort of a dream come true really.
There's been a lot of smoke and mirrors over the last 10 years and we really have not been able to enjoy the success that quite frankly we should have had at times.
This puts us back up into the game in a very big way.
Roberts won three 500cc titles from 1978-80 and was acclaimed as a pioneering showman on two wheels.
He retired and came back as a Yamaha team boss before, in 1996, building his own Grand Prix bike with initial backing from Malaysia's Proton.
They struggled to match the dominant Japanese teams but having a competitive Honda engine, and the 2000 world champion, on board has raised morale no end.
It's really a big shot in the arm for Team Roberts for Honda to help us and for Kenny to come back, said Roberts.
Now we're raising our game again and getting everybody honed in to not thinking about what it costs but about how we can win.
Roberts said there were pros and cons in having his son riding for him.
On the plus side, his expertise would pay immediate dividends in terms of technical feedback: Racing against the best companies in the world, you really need someone on it that can guide you.
We don't have all the resources that everybody else has so we've got to have better people, a better rider and better direction, said Roberts.
But it's not easy having your son race for you. Quite frankly, it's not an easy sport. It's not as safe as golf.
And half the time I'm hoping they slow down and half the time I need them to speed up. Reuters

Gary J. Arzt writes a monthly column for CigarReview.com as well as many
articles and interviews with manufacturers. Last week we had a conversation
about a particular cigar. I thought I would share part of it with you.
Kevin: You had told me long ago about a cigar you made called Arzt de los Reyes.
You also indicated you would never do it again.
Gary: You're referring to the $600,000 mistake! Well, actually, two mistakes.
Augusto Reyes and I collaborated on a 100% Dominican cigar in 1996. It was,
after Opus X, the second Dominican Puro. It had Dominican filler and binder and
a sun grown Dominican wrapper.
We introduced the cigar in 1997 - mistake number one; the bloom was off the rose
and the market was collapsing.
Mistake number two: We blended the cigar to my taste - full bodied, since I was
a dedicated smoker of Cuban cigars. The market was not ready for a full bodied
Gary J. Arzt and Kevin Godbee discuss the new "Espinoza y Ortega GA Select"
cigar over cigars and espresso at Macabi Cigar in Plantation, FL
Kevin: In spite of that experience, you're planning to introduce a new cigar in
2009. What's changed?
Gary: If Arzt de los Reyes was the mistake; the new cigar might well be the
'accidental' cigar, Kevin.
A while back, I asked my friends at Espinoza y Ortega (601, Cubao) to make me
several hundred cigars for my personal consumption. I even banded them with a
band that had a somewhat famous caricature of me on the band.
Kevin: And this the cigar we're talking about?
Gary: Yes. The "Espinoza y Ortega GA Select". I gave many of them to friends of
mine, tobacconists and others to smoke. The reaction was very positive.
Inasmuch as I have time on my hands, I decided to produce the cigar in
commercial quantities and market it.
Kevin: That's the name of the new cigar? Will EO distribute it?
Gary: Yes, that is the name. But, no, Espinoza y Ortega will not distribute it.
They have a full plate with the tremendous success of 601 and Cubao.
The cigar will be distributed by Gary J. Arzt LLC and we will concentrate
initially on Florida.
Kevin: Can you tell us the blend?
Gary: The cigar is blended with Nicaraguan fillers and binders and an Ecuadoran
Sumatra wrapper. It will be medium to full bodied depending on the smoker. It's
being made by EO in Esteli. They will come in five sizes and be boxed in boxes
of twenty.
Kevin: Will this have any effect on your writing? Your commentary about cigars
in general?
Gary: Certainly not in any journalistic endeavor. As for my column, Kevin, I
have always been scrupulous about being fair and unbiased. My column is about
what I smoke; where I smoke; who I smoke with, as well as industry news. It will
remain so.
The fact of the matter is, I probably won't be able to do as much for the
Espinoza y Ortega GA Select, as I have done for many other brands. You, as
publisher at www.cigar-review.com ,
will be the final arbiter of my fairness.
Kevin: I certainly wish you luck with this. And, maybe we'll get some
advertising out of you on the web site. (Both laugh)

Leading the way to a diverse workforce
Posted: February 19, 2014|
HSBC is a company that realises the strategic advantage of having a diverse workforce. Fifty years ago, the number of women employed by HSBC was very, very low. Today, nearly half of its retail branches in London are female-led, and women occupy four of the 17 seats on HSBC Holdings' board of directors.
But the firm has taken its commitment one step further, by throwing its institutional weight behind placing diversity on the agenda of key influencers and opinion leaders. For example, they hold events to educate business owners – including a symposium in the House of Commons that brought together members of Parliament, small and medium-sized enterprises, and external lobbying groups.
HSBC also works with the well-known British entrepreneur and women's empowerment advocate Lynne Franks, who created and hosted the bank's first Women's Knowledge and Wisdom Forum in 2010.
And the bank makes sure to keep its pipeline filled with talented young women by early outreach to students completing their secondary education, giving them the opportunity to learn about HSBC, the roles available within the company, and the banking industry in general. The programme includes training sessions on personal brand and confidence building and encourages participants to apply for internships. The Women In Business is an important initiative and one we would encourage other businesses, large and small, to embrace.
Debbie Hosking, regional head of business banking represents HSBC commitments, having started her career in Ashton Gate, where she undertook her work experience. Debbie is proud to be supporting these awards.

Meri Zaat Zarra-e-Be Nishan
Destiny takes one of the youngest brother's educated daughters back to her homeland and her family find it hard to accept an educated and bright 'girl' in their midst. Fate sees this young girl marrying one of her own cousins despite opposition from the whole family. In a desperate bid to get rid of her, the heroine is falsely accused of infidelity by her mother-in-law, who falsely swears on the Quran, forcing her son to divorce his new wife. This has long term consequences on the whole family, who later repent the lies they were all a part of and desperately try to make amends…although perhaps now it is too late. A moving and thought provoking family drama.

"Lovely getaway beach house. Wonderful concierge service and pleasant caretaker. House is very accommodating for large families . The Internet service was quite poor and slow .....wireless therefore was not connecting. House is solar powered ... We got to know That at arrival ....iron your clothing during the day. We learned the hard way!!! We were quite disappointed that there was no outdoor furniture and grill to dine outside in the lovely courtyard . All in all we had a lovely stay ."Guest: Iva-Lisa H. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 8, 2015View listing
"My husband and I loved the quiet beauty of Lower Bay. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and the location on the end of Lower Bay was perfect. It was very laid back and our favorite location was the outdoor patio deck watching the boats on the water. There were no surprises as the house looks exactly like the photos on the website. We would recommend Keegan's for lunch or dinner (an easy walk) and Da Reef for lunch. From my first email to Edith (the owner) to being picked up by Taxi driver Jeffrey everything was perfect. Also the Upper Crust bakery is an online only for ordering and they deliver to the house, everything was so good!"Guest: Ann D Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: December 20, 2014View listing
"Palm View Villa is located just above Princess Margaret Beach and both Princess Margaret and Lower bay are about 5 min walk. The climb back up gets you in shape quickly. Friendship Bay is about a 15 min walk and Port Elizabeth is about a 25 min walk. The Villa is about 100 yds from a bus stop so a vehicle is not needed. Maggie is a superb hostess. Fruits are provided throughout our stay. The fridge was stocked with starter food on our arrival and Maggie is always available to provide advise. The apartments are as described and exceptionally well maintained. This has been our second stay here and we will be back again."Guest: Stephen Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: January 26, 2015View listing
"very nice, clean villa with an amazing view. The owner is prompt and courteous to any inquires, and her island staff will meet you anywhere on bequia to bring you there and introduce you to the villa and all its amenities. The villa is very clean and well stocked. Ive traveled all over the Caribbean and used homeaway many times, but this was one of the best places ive staying by value, cleanliness, and view; dont hesitate to book this villa!"Guest: Jason H.

With 20 years of stand-up work under his belt -- leading to numerous and oft-quoted comedy specials, millions of albums sold and a steady run of gigantic sold-out shows -- Dane Cook couldn't be any happier. Until recently, that is, when his joy grew even more by scheduling shows at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, a venue he's dreamed about headlining for years.
"Is it OK to scream? Woohoo!" Cook blurted out enthusiastically during a recent phone interview. "I can't believe it. It's something I've wanted to do for a very long time and I'm digging it."
That may seem strange, coming from a man who has packed Madison Square Garden, but it's all part of the next chapter of Cook's life. Though the comedian, 38, has spent the past few years performing in front of 20,000-50,000 people a night, including at places as vast as the Gator Bowl, he now has fresh material to deliver, so he wanted to simplify things on his next outing by sticking to smaller-capacity venues.
To warm up for the tour, which officially kicks off in late October, Cook will appear before a hometown crowd Saturday at the Greek, although a second show, on Sunday, has been canceled due to scheduling conflicts. Refunds are available, and those who buy tickets for Saturday instead and bring their refunded Sunday tickets to the venue will receive a $25 tour T-shirt.
"Last year I did arenas -- I did 80 through the U.S. and Canada in 14 months," Cook recalls. "I had also hit 20 years of doing stand-up comedy and it was a dream, playing big venues with big audiences. This time I wanted to hit some spots that I couldn't do before because they didn't have the capacity arenas I was looking at. I want to go to places where people could use some entertainment in this economy and could do with a feel-good show that won't break their bank account. It's going to be good."
He's been known to come up with creative titles for his tours: Tourgasm, Rough Around the Edges Tour, Globo Thermo Tour. This one comes stripped down: just Dane Cook Live!
"I love coming up with titles, a theme, artwork and the style, (but) this time … I was really influenced by some great Vegas documentaries that I watched years ago. I love that Rat Pack mentality because on this tour I'm going to bring out some special guests on the road, and I had a vision of those old Vegas billboards: 'So and So Live!,' with a big exclamation point."
He wouldn't spill details about who these "special guests" might be, just that they likely will change depending on the location -- and he put further emphasis on them being "special." Along with new material Cook says he will pepper in few fan-favorite bits, something he always enjoyed watching his idols do during a live set.
"I've gotten into a few debates with people who say, unlike with the music you love, you can't listen to (jokes) over and over again, that comedy seems to dissipate through time and doesn't retain that same repeat value, and I disagree," he says.
"I'm the first to say that I want a new hour out there on the road, yet I still love listening to my classic cuts of Bill Cosby or Richard Pryor. Everyone has their favorite bit that spoke to them at a certain point in their life, and they want that moment to share with someone else. I will do the very best to squeeze in a couple of spontaneous favorites."
Those who are hungry just for the classic bits can also pick up Cook's first compilation, I Did My Best (due Nov. 23), which gathers up his most popular material.
Of course, apart from being one of stand-up comedy's biggest names at the moment, Cook has also gotten into acting, having starred in, among others, Good Luck Chuck alongside Jessica Alba, Employee of the Month with Jessica Simpson and My Best Friend's Girl opposite Kate Hudson. More recently he has shifted focus, completing work on a few independent films, including the drama Answers to Nothing and a crime-thriller titled "Guns, Girls and Gambling" that also stars Gary Oldman, Jeff Fahey and Christian Slater.
"I'm actually more interested in getting into some of these very unique, independent roles that are giving me the chance to spread my wings in a way that you can't really do with the more mainstream fare," he says.
In other words, he doesn't always want to be the funny guy. Cook says he likes being thrown out of his element and keeping himself a little bit scared so that he never just "dials it in.">
