In April, last year, a fisherman who had cast his nets went back to Lake Rumira in Bugesera, Eastern province to collect his catch. While there, he was attacked by a 4.85 metres long crocodile which was entangled in the fisherman's net.
Gaspard Gasirabo, the executive secretary of Rilima sector near Gashora where the 1,200 kilogramme reptile was killed, narrates that the fisherman struck it with a machete which just enraged it. It attacked the fisherman and for a few minutes, the man and beast were engaged in a fight for survival, until neighbours mysteriously appeared with axes and killed the reptile.
The tourism and conservation department of Rwanda Development Board then handed over the carcass to the Institute of National Museums of Rwanda (IMNR) in Kigali where, according to Carine Rusaro, a senior staff of IMNR at Natural History Museum, it is undergoing taxidermy and will be ready for exhibition next month.
Taxidermy is an art or operation of preparing, stuffing, and mounting the skins of dead animals for exhibition in a lifelike state. According to a museum staff, during the process, they discovered in the crocodile stomach two human skulls, clothes and a pair of shoes, a clear indication that the animal had swallowed people.
IMNR is charged with, among other duties, exhibiting the natural history of Rwanda in what is commonly known as Kandht House Museum located at Muhima hill in Kigali City. Here, they showcase many animal specimen and replicas of natural wonders of the country.
Now that IMNR has reincarnated the animal via taxidermy, Rusaro says, it will increase the number of visitors who have never seen a crocodile before, whether dead or alive. "It will serve our mandate of educating children and students about the animals and why they should love them," she says.
Apart from this crocodile, IMNR is also working on an elephant carcass which will also be exhibited at Natural History Museum once finished.
The two animals will join a zebra, an antelope, some birds and rodents currently on exhibition at Kandht House.

This is why we're not allowed to touch the controls: We would've opened the pool right then. (Photos by Cashman Photo)
Cirque du Soleil did its big One Night for One Drop charity production Friday night at the O Theatre in partnership with Lamborghini, yet it didn't feature one single supercar swinging gracefully through the air on a trapeze. What a wasted opportunity.
It all started with a cocktail reception at Hyde, where the celebs got to loosen up before the chow. There to check things out were, as we already mentioned, Britney Spears–plus Michael Phelps, Missy Franklin, Shania Twain, Pam Anderson, Criss Angel, Claire Sinclair, Tom Higgenson of the Plain White T's, Olympic rowers Mary Whipple and Erin Cafaro, Holly Madison, Coco Austin and Kyle Richards.
Once the show got rolling, it featured Jackie Evancho, Victoria's Secret model Orluchi Orlandi and a composition from Danny Elfman. Which we assume means this entire production is being featured in the next Tim Burton movie.
Afterward, everyone reconvened at the Bellagio pool where The Canadian Tenors performed. You can catch a broadcast of the whole shindig at OneDrop.org through March 31 with a $5 donation.

Windhoek — Following an impressive sequence of consecutive wins in their last two league outings - Tigers Football Club will be out to ruffle feathers when they come up against reigning champions Black Africa in what promises to be an intriguing clash of the titans in the MTC Premiership League at the Sam Nujoma Stadium tonight.
Both teams are in form and a rare victory for the Donkerhoek-based Tigers FC cannot be ruled out if the form book is anything to go by. After a slow start that saw the Namibian champions collecting just one point from their opening two matches at the start of the current term, Brian Isaacs' charges now appear to have hit form and have been on an unbeaten run, winning all their last six league encounters on the trot.
The Gemengde-based outfit was in mean mood when they demolished Civics in last weekend's action and with the terrible twins Awilo Stephanus and Klaas Blom in scintillating form, the Tigers rearguard should brace itself for a tough evening.
In the towering Brave Warriors centre back, Tigers have one of the most accomplished defenders in the business, while burly striker Kaka Nekundi could prove quite a handful for the Black Africa defence manned by Da Costa Angula and veteran skipper Hartmann Toromba.
Over the years, Tigers have developed a habit of getting the better of the top dogs only to stutter against lesser opponents and tonight's clash should be no exception as the Ingweinyama will be out to prove that their current good form is no fluke.
An unlikely win for the blues will lift them into joint third place alongside FNB Orlando Pirates on 16 points each on the MTC NPL log standings, while such a positioning would also restore their shaky status among the Katutura big four.

The Hardest Working Couple in Vermont | The Throwbacks
"I'm at peace when I'm working," Jimmy told me later that evening, after we'd settled into a local pizza joint. "I'm most happy when I'm working and especially when I'm working outside. I love being outside." He lifted a fresh slice off his plate; we'd ordered Jimmy's favorite, a house special called "The Carcass," topped with pepperoni, meatballs, sausage, and, in a half-hearted nod to dietary diversity, mushrooms. He finished it in two bites that were so close together they might have been counted as one. He chewed a full four or five times, swallowed, then continued: "When I was a kid, I'd spend the whole day outside playing with my tractors and stuff. It didn't matter what the weather was. They had to beg me to come inside."
That sort of work ethic and passion for the outdoors had been instilled in Jimmy and his brother by their parents from an early age. "Dad is a bullin' f**kin' idiot, and I was right there with him all the time," he said. At first I was a little taken aback, but Jimmy was grinning widely, and I realized that in Jimmy Ackermann's vernacular, "bullin' f**kin' idiot" is a compliment.
By the time he was 9, Jimmy was driving the big Case tractor that's still on the farm today, pulling loads of firewood logs out of the woods, with the front wheels lifting off the ground and his father shouting instructions at his side. "Dad always believed that the best way to learn was to do, and the best way to get things done was to do 'em," Jimmy added. "And I guess I got some of that. I always figure it all has to be done, so I do it. I don't really mind any of it." He bent over his plate and inhaled another slice.
"It all has to be done, so I do it." I can see the logic in that, and I have to admit, there's an appealing simplicity to it. As rules-to-live-by go, it seems like a sound one. And in the case of Jimmy and Sara Ackermann, it isn't just rhetoric; it is fact, because if they don't do it, the ramifications will be severe: Cows will get sick and eventually die; the people in their community who depend on them for firewood will be cold. It's sobering to consider how much of contemporary America's working landscape comprises tasks that are, if not nonessential, then certainly lacking in urgency. If I miss a day or even three of writing, no one is likely to notice, and I suspect the same could be said for a strikingly large percentage of our nation's labor force.
But the majority of the work that Jimmy and Sara do really does have to be done. Oh, sure, part of why it needs to be done is simply to pay for the expenses that the work itself incurs. Just a single month's grain bill for their cows runs $10,000, which means that it costs twice as much to feed their dairy herd for a month (not counting hay and forage) as Jimmy and Sara spend on the structure in which they—and soon, their baby—live. And the grain is merely the proverbial drop in the bucket: There are payments on the tractors, and there's the $1,000-a-month electricity bill, and the farm lease, and $50,000 haying implements that die and must be replaced. There's the mortgage on the sugarbush and the new firewood elevator, and Jimmy's truck, and … "I used to ask Sara how much money we had left, but I don't ask her anymore," Jimmy told me once. "'Cause if I don't ask her, she doesn't tell me."
Sometimes I wonder whether Jimmy and Sara Ackermann truly appreciate how important their work is—if perhaps they lack context, having been raised in families and communities where such work isn't the exception but the norm, and therefore can't get quite enough distance from it to bring its full value into focus. Or maybe it's just that they don't choose to articulate this aspect of their relationship to the labor that defines their days. They're both smart and talkative, but they're also doers, faced with the persistent urgency of whatever task is before them. In other words, perhaps they simply don't have time to sit around thinking about how critical their jobs are, and in those rare moments when they might have that time, they're probably too damned tired.
Yet I've also witnessed moments that suggest a degree of connection that belies Jimmy's git-'r-done ethos. I remember doing chores with them one morning, listening to Jimmy's near-constant murmur, as he gently coaxed the cows out of the barn and toward the big corral, where he'd stand for a few minutes and quietly watch, looking for a limp, or signs of heat, or anything abnormal. Or maybe just looking.
"Git up, git up, come on girl, git up, gonna be a beautiful day, git up, that's it." He spoke softly, whispering almost, occasionally reaching out to place a hand against a warm flank. "Come on, let's go, git up. It's a nice one out there, come on." I remember Sara leading me through the barn, to show me an hours-old heifer calf out of one of her favorite cows. The calf's coat was still dotted with small whorls of wetness, and as Sara fed it from a bottle, she ran a hand absentmindedly over its back.
And I remember standing with Jimmy one afternoon as he was splitting wood, and watching as he carefully split around a rotten section, cleaving off the sound outer wedges of wood, before tossing the punky length aside. To be sure, the effort of discarding the piece was minimal, and, to be honest, I might have missed it had I been looking away. But the few seconds it took Jimmy to cast it aside revealed to me something in his relationship to his work that was far greater than the simple effort of his actions. After all, the truck contained literally thousands of sticks of firewood; a substandard piece or two wasn't merely something that might be excused—it was to be expected. No one was likely to notice that Jimmy's firewood was absent that one slender length of porous wood. No one except Jimmy, that is.
What I see in these moments is something that I believe transcends simple pride: affection. Not merely for the animals under Jimmy and Sara Ackermann's care, or solely for the customers upon whose continued support they depend, but for something at once less tangible and ultimately more durable: affection for the work itself, and for the livelihood it provides. For the life it provides.

Philadelphia 76ers big man Royce is reportedly at the center of a criminal investigation in Texas after allegedly beating up this then-girlfriend.White's ex-girlfriend, Maxim model Tania Mehra, filed a police report on August 30 to report an incident that occurred at White's Houston-area home in June.The report states that someone from the home called 911 on June 22 to report a laceration above Mehra's right eye. At the time, Mehra claimed the injury was from an accidental fall.However, she has since changed her story, filing another incident report, and claiming she lied about what happened on the night of the incident. In reality, Mehra claims White is to blame for her injury.Cops tell TMZ, "The victim said she had lied earlier because the suspect played for the NBA and did not want the incident to damage his career."Law enforcement also tells us, "The victim stated that White had assaulted her after she became angered by his advances toward her friend."The incident is under investigation and no charges have yet been filed against the 22-year-old White.A source also told the celebrity gossip site that White grabbed a candleholder and threw it at Mehra during the altercation. But it missed badly and smashed into a nearby mirror, instead.
Knowing him, he'll blame it on his disease and claim it was all the Houston Rockets' fault.

In December's Vanity Fair, Michael Wolff offers an intimate look at the Murdochs -- "one of the last functioning, even highly capable dynasties in the Western world." The article is an excerpt from The Man Who Owns the News -- a book which, although fully authorized, has already prompted some squeals of protest from its subject.
Here's a sampling of what Wolff has to say about:
Rupert as father figure:
[T]here are seldom days he doesn't speak to each of his children.... He's not just the patriarch but the mentor and strategist. And if he's often been the remote father--full of murmured regrets -- he is also the long-suffering one, stoically standing by as his children fail to heed him.
Murdoch's projection about his children manages to be both compellingly normal and obviously creepy at the same time.
[A] young woman of uncommon directness -- engaging people with great efficiency and insistence. She's smart; she's flirty; she knows she has to look for an advantage. She's a young person who likes to talk to older people; she's a young person whom older people like to talk to. It is not craftiness and duplicity and avarice that are her character weaknesses but, after she cycles through a few adventures, her constant need for excitement, for drama, for change, for the new. For further opportunity.
She has an interest in power, in who's who in the room.... On the one hand, this is avariciousness; on the other, astuteness. Vulgarity or discrimination.
[T]he official Murdoch-family wing nut. She gets away with saying what the others won't, even things that the others won't think, and she takes the various family members much less seriously than they do themselves.
And yet she is in some ways the child Murdoch is most comfortable with -- or at least the child who is least afraid of him....For her part, she finds it just slightly unsettling that he regularly mistakes her for one of his sisters.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by Eclaire fabric inaccurate in description, overpriced I ordered this dress in the black and while the embroidery at the top is very detailed and elegant-looking, the fabric was that course silky kind and only some of the dress is viscose, with the rest being polyester. I had high expectations for this dress, but discovered that it was not worth the hefty price tag. The material was kind of flimsy, not the thick cotton I had hoped for and it is really strictly a going out/occasion dress. Due to the short length, it has limited versatility. Not quite sure why this dress is $300. 8.13.2014

MAINLAND Premier League giants Young Africans are set to offer their fans a perfect day out as they clash with Kenyan soccer champions Tusker FC in an international friendly fixture on an action packed Boxing Day.
The CECAFA Kagame Cup champions are fine-tuning for the second round of the Vodacom Premier League scheduled to kick off later next month. They are also lined up for the Mapinduzi Cup tournament due to kick off next Tuesday in Zanzibar, and the match against Tusker should be a litmus test ahead of the Isles event.
Yanga spokesperson Baraka Kiziguto told reporters ahead of the match that they will use this festive fixture to parade their newly signed players, including Congolese-born Rwandan midfielder Kabange Twite, who joined the club during the mini-transfer window from APR of Rwanda.
Yanga head coach Ernest Brandts is also to assess three youngsters, who have been promoted from the junior squad, namely George Banda, Lehani Kibingwa and Yusuf Abdul as well as already established players. "It will be a good opportunity for our fans to see our team and especially new players, who have been recruited during the mini transfer window," said Kiziguto.
He added that the match will give Brandts a good platform to gauge his entire squad following a monthlong workout. "We're determined to win the Mainland title this season, therefore, the coach is expected to use this game to assess the progress of the training programme."
Tusker arrived in Dar es Salaam earlier this week from Nairobi and they have been scheduled to play several friendly matches on their way to Zanzibar for the annual one week Zanzibar Mapinduzi soccer tournament. They will also encounter Premier League champions, Simba.
According to Tusker FC Director Charles Obwiny, they will be using the tournament and the friendly matches to shape up ahead of the new season with their eyes on defending the domestic cup title for the third year in a row and performing better in the CAF Champions League where they have been drawn against St Michel from Seychelles in the first round.
The Kenyan giants, however, had to leave behind two of their senior players and two newly signed players as confirmed by the team manager, Willis Waliaula. The team manager revealed that goalkeeper Boniface Oluoch, defender David Ochieng, newly signed forward Moses Arita and Liberian midfielder Abraham Cokie will miss the friendlies and the Mapinduzi Cup.
Oluoch, Ochieng and Arita are all having engagements with the national team as the Harambee Stars prepare for the return leg of their CHAN qualifier with Burundi in early January, while Cokie is still awaiting a work permit among other documentation, Waliaula confirmed.
"We have travelled without a number of our players, four to be precise; Boniface Oluoch, David Ochieng and the newly signed Moses Arita. The three are engaged with the national team as they prepare for the Burundi game and we felt it unnecessary to interrupt the team's programme," said Waliaula.
"The other one is Abraham Cokie. He is still working to get travel documents, a work permit and a number of other relevant papers. We will miss them while there but ideally there is so little we could do."

RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—"What a beautiful flower arrangement! Now please get it out of the hospital." That's not something anyone who's just spent good money on get-well flowers wants to hear. Yet, if a trend among British hospitals catches fire on this side of the pond, more and more well-intentioned U.S. hospital visitors could be hearing those exact words.
THE DETAILS: A recent article in the British Medical Journal noted that U.K. hospitals started banning flowers in the late 1990s, due misconceptions that stagnant flower water breeds bacteria and that plants compete with patients for oxygen. Although studies have dispelled both myths, the trend has continued to grow, fueled by surveys showing that nurses and other hospital staff get annoyed at having to change the blooms' water. Hospital workers also fear fragile vases will break, spilling water on expensive medical equipment.
American hospitals haven't followed suit—yet—except in intensive care units, and the bans abroad seem to pay little heed to studies showing that flowers do have a powerful healing effect; research has found that get-well flowers in hospital rooms lower blood pressure and rates of pain, and that patients surrounded by flowers need fewer post-operative painkillers than patients in flowerless rooms.
WHAT IT MEANS: Even if your flowers aren't likely to be banned, you can be extra thoughtful the next time you make a hospital visit by choosing flowers that will provide a healing benefit without burdening hospital staff (or other visitors) with extra tasks, like rearranging bulky arrangements or constantly throwing out soggy stems. Here are some points to keep in mind:
• Buy sneeze-less blooms. While the patient may not be allergic to flowers, family members or other visitors may be, not to mention roommates or nurses or the cleaning staff or the nurse's aides, or any one of the half-dozen hospital workers who pop in and out of a patient's room on any given day. "Roses, carnations, and chrysanthemums are great because the pollen is inside the flower and not exposed, unlike a lily," says Robert McLaughlin, CEO of the online florist Organic Bouquet. He says that's key to cutting down on sneezes because the pollen is never released into the air.

"Bees and more bees"
After the big forest fire the bees were really upset, we tired these and ended up buying 3 more. they catch all bees we even put cat food in the top and the bees here go crazy for it. We had to empty every couple days. Great product.
We have lived in the country for 5 1/2 years now and have always had an overwhelming problem with wasps. Ever since we have hung these traps we haven't caught but 1 or 2, but the amazing thing is...they have all disappeared!! We haven't seen one single wasp since we'e hung them out. It says it attracts, but in this case...it has driven them away. So now I don't even have a mess to clean out of the traps. They just packed up left all their nests and moved away. I am happy!
We were having a terrible time with wasps. We hung this trap from a tree approx 25-30' from where wasps were congrigating. It took 24 hrs. & then it appeared to attract them & begin filling up the container. I say Yeh!!!
"its a joke"
I bought this thing a couple weeks ago and baited it and set it less than 2 feet from where the hornets buzz around all day ... To this day it hasn't caught one anything ... This thing is crap ...

CONDUCTING glues that stick selectively to different materials could bond silicon chips to their connecting wires without the need for solder. This could significantly cut the cost of assembling electronic components and reduce the use of toxic metals such as lead, the main component of solder.
The secret of the glues' selective stickiness lies in the ability of their molecules to alter their shape in response to the nature of the underlying material, says Simon Holder, a chemist at the University of Kent in the UK, who unveiled his smart glues last week at the Sixth International Conference in Materials Chemistry in Sheffield.
Each glue molecule is made up of three blocks - a styrene molecule flanked by two polymethacrylate groups. In the presence of metals such as gold, silver or copper, the molecule forms a "U"-shape allowing the styrene block to stick strongly to the metallic surface while the ...

Grey's Anatomy
Scott Foley Leaves Seattle Grace for Another Hospital
Alas, Scott Foley's character arc on Grey's Anatomy is coming to an end. We've fallen in love with adorable, earnest, persistent Henry, and, while we do kind of hope Teddy sucks it up and makes out with him at least once, there's no hope of him returning as a series regular (are you kidding? We would die). All that hospital experience, though, successfully landed him a new job on a new CBS medical drama called The Doctor.
Christine Lahti (Law & Order: SVU) stars as a mom who reconnects with her kids after joining the family medical practice. Foley plays one of her sons, and, this time, trades in his patient chart for a set of his own scrubs. He'll be turning the tables and playing a talented surgeon with a dark side. Well, he definitely has tons of field research logged after his guest stint on Grey's.
Congrats, Scott!

To be a successful porn star, one must be very hot but must they also be beautiful?
If you ask me, there is a difference between beauty and hotness.
You know someone is hot because your crotch gets really, really itchy. Whereas you know someone is beautiful because you feel really itchy all over your body. Right? Maybe it's just me.
The Guccione Collection has just put forward a little video that showcases the 15 most beautiful pornstars ever. Get ready to feel really itchy all over your body.
Guccione Collection – The Fifteen Most Beautiful Porn Stars In Adult History from Guccione Collection on Vimeo.
If you ask me, this list was pretty on point. I probably would have put Elle Alexandra in there instead of Nautica Thorn but otherwise I like this list.
Who would have YOU included on this list of the 15 most beautiful pornstars?


text: I wanted to get away from the idea of the pomegranate-flavored Margarita or the pomegranate-flavored Mojito and think about PAMA as something that adds texture and body to a drink. The liqueur has sweetness, but it also has acidity and tannins that really create structure, which is sometimes missing from cocktails. PAMA can add body without throwing off the balance of sweet and sour too much.

Monkey learns how to work a vending machine
If having a pet monkey wasn't awesome enough this person decided to train their furry sidekick to retrieve a soda from a vending machine.
In a not-so-graceful manner this monkey deposits his money and selects his beverage.
The little guy still needed some help opening the drink but that's not too bad for just monkeying around.

St Clair Beach
Only minutes from the city centre, this sweeping surf beach is a place to walk, swim, surf or dine out.
1 / 4
Saint Clair, the most popular city beach, is a renowned surfing location. A heated salt water outdoor swimming pool, located at the southern end of the long sweeping beach, is open over the summer period.
In 2004 the sea wall was refurbished to provide a modern, wide promenade, with steps leading down to the beautiful sandy beach.
Along the promenade is a choice of restaurants and bars catering for every occasion from a quiet morning coffee while you gaze to the horizon, to a lively night out in a fantastic seaside setting.
Saint Clair, like most city seaside suburbs, has always been a wealthy area. Many fine historic homes can be seen along the waterfront or on the wooded slopes of Forbury Hill.
Saint Clair Beach is a ten minute drive from the city centre. There are regular public transport services from the city.

Espresso Bar Baked Treats
I run our church's Espresso Bar on the weekends. We like to offer delicious baked goods in addition to the beverages. I always have lemon bars, frosted sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies because they are the most popular and sometimes offer brownies and rice krispie treats but would like to try some new items. For some reason cupcakes and muffins are not popular with this crowd but bar cookies are extremely popular. Any suggestions from the Serious Eats bakers? Thank you!

It is estimated that three million people every year face eyebrow hair loss. Obviously, eyebrows help to define the face, so noticeable hair loss would only be a detriment. Is it possible to re-grow eyebrow hair? For starters, the cause of eyebrow hair loss is not solely limited to excessive use of eyebrow scissors and makeup. Usually, autoimmune diseases are responsible. One of the major players in eyebrow hair loss is a disease called Alopecia, which also affects the scalp and other hairy areas.
Alopecia contributes to the loss of eyebrow hair by configuring the immune system to believe that any hair follicle is bacteria. The autoimmune characteristics of the body naturally defend against this and try to protect against this "bacteria" by attacking it at the source. Usually, the cause of eyebrow loss is mostly limited to Alopecia, so people shouldn't worry about eyebrow loss if it is Alopecia.
If Alopecia is causing eyebrow loss, it will take plenty of time for it to grow back again. Luckily, stem cells in your hair follicles have the ability to grow since your white blood cells do not have any role in attacking them. After new cells have formed, your hair should continue to grow. If you're certain Alopecia is not the culprit for your eyebrow hair loss, it could simply be from stress or a lack of nutrients in your diet. Eyebrow hair loss can be offset by eating well balanced meals and reducing any stressful activity. In the cause of eyebrow loss, it is always important to consult a doctor as the remote possibility of it being serious stands.
In many instances, eyebrow loss might not be eyebrow loss at all. Simply, it takes a while for eyebrows to grow which may simulate the appearance of eyebrow loss. It largely depends on how you remove the hair. Plucked eyebrows usually take up to two months to grow back fully. Waxing your eyebrows takes up the same timeframe, but is more noticeable after a month. Shaving your eyebrows is the quickest way for them to grow back again, with only a couple of days wait.
Finally, many people may wonder: are there products out there for eyebrow growth? Unfortunately, there are not a lot of medications and creams out there that work the way they claim. Hair goes through growth cycles, which means all of your hair will fall out and be replaced without you noticing. Hair in various portions of your body, like the eyebrows, will always stop at certain lengths. Therefore, we cannot control how fast our eyebrows can grow. One fact stands: winter usually stimulates more hair growth than the summer months, but no product can claim to make it grow better or faster.

The Kardashians
Divorced Kim Kardashian and Baby Bump Spotted in Los Angeles (PHOTO)
It's official. After over a year of waiting, Kim Kardashian is finally divorced from Kris Humphries.
On April 19, TMZ reported that Kim and Kris have settled their divorce out of court. The exes were supposed to take their case to trial on May 6, but Kim — who is now seven months pregnant with boyfriend Kanye West's baby — has been trying hard to settle the case since she filed in October 2011.
Up until now, Kris had been very firm in his desire to get the marriage annulled, and he was seeking to prove in court that Kim had publically defrauded him into marrying her. However, the marriage has not been annulled. It is settled as a divorce, just like Kim was hoping.
Though photos of Kim at the courthouse were very hard to come by, the pregnant star stepped out in public later in the day to run errands in Beverly Hills. Photographers spotted her out outside a dermatologist's office, dressed in the same black dress and heels she wore for her early morning court appearance.
The usually-smiling star seemed more sullen and intense than usual. It's been a stressful day, for sure, but she also just scored her divorce after a long legal battle. If we were Kim, we'd be grinning from ear to ear right now.

By Bob Vazquez, Assistant Athletics Director, Strategic Communications
Northridge, Ca. – During a recent post-game press conference, Josh Greene diligently answered reporters' questions about the team's exciting 92-83 overtime victory over Cal State Fullerton.
An elderly gentleman with a brimming smile, dressed in an old but stylish San Fernando Valley State letterman's jacket, stood in the back of the room with his wife.
As the press conference drew to a conclusion, the young Greene and the elderly fellow introduced each other and exchanged hugs.
The two greatest free throw shooters in school history, two generations apart in age, finally met … Josh Greene meet Chuck Malouf.
Greene's heralded four-year CSUN career has been well chronicled. Greene holds numerous school records, and his name is mentioned prominently in many Top-10 categories.
But who is Chuck Malouf? For the past 50 years, Malouf has held the second oldest school records in Matador basketball history; single season free throw percentage (.869, 1963-64) and career free throw percentage (.867, 1961-64).
With one regular season game and at least one post-season game to play at the upcoming Big West Conference Tournament, Greene is well above the pace to break one of Malouf's long-standing school records; single season free throw percentage (.916 compared to Malouf's school record of .869). Greene is just ahead of the second school record mark, career free throw percentage. Greene stands at .868 while Malouf's career record is .867.
Malouf lives in Burbank with his wife (Nikki). They often attend Matador home games. Without reservation, Malouf doesn't blink knowing that Greene could soon break his long and cherished school records.
"I couldn't ask for a better person than Josh Greene to break my school records," admitted Malouf, who attended the game against Cal State Fullerton (2/8/14) along with his wife Nickki. "It was a great honor to meet Josh. I am so impressed with the young man and all the records he has accomplished as a Matador. Congratulations, Josh."
Malouf took several photos with Greene, CSUN head coach Reggie Theus, and Greene's mom, Celeste. Malouf, like a true Matador, wore his old letterman's jacket. Even 50 years later, the old jacket still fits.
"I played at 190 pounds from 1961-64, and have only gained five pounds in all those records," Malouf happily admits. "It was great to be a Matador. I'm very proud of my letterman's jacket."
As both Greene and Malouf exchanged notes on how to be successful at the free throw line, curious reporters and well-wishers listened with interest and offered their congratulations to Greene and Malouf.
Basketball is more than a game. It offers an opportunity for people to establish friendly relationships, and a chance to enjoy current accomplishments along with the establishment of new school records that have lasted more than two generations (50 years).
The friendly, respectful exchange of words between the 21-year-old Greene and the 72-year-old Malouf were beyond description.
Generation Gap? … None here !!!
"Meeting Chuck was a great honor," said Greene. "Chuck is a person who loves life. He is an extremely positive person. He knows the game. Just talking to him about the game was a very meaningful experience to both of us. He's a great person to be around. He felt honored for me to break his records because of the hard work and dedication I have put into the game. Hopefully my school records will last 50 years like Chuck's."
Since Greene enrolled at CSUN in 2010, his free throw percentage numbers have increased; as a freshman in 2010-11 (.826); as a sophomore in 2011-12 (.831); as a junior in 2012-13 (.858), and as a senior in 2013-14 (.916, tops in the Big West Conference and sixth-best in the country).
"If he had another year, he might be shooting 100 percent," joked Malouf.
Greene said the secret to free throw success is simple.
"Work hard," said Greene. "It's dedication and pride. Free throws are just like free points. It's doing the same routine over-and-over. Make sure your foundation is set. When I go up-and-down the court, and if I get a little winded and then get fouled, I take a little time before I go to the free throw line. The extra time gives me an opportunity to collect my thoughts. When I go to the free throw line, I take a deep breath. I spin the ball once, dribble three times, then spin the ball again, focus on the rim, make sure I have a perfect arch, and the perfect follow through. Hopefully, the ball goes through the hoop."
Greene's routine has worked. The likable senior holds the school record for consecutive free throws (33 set in 2012-13). Greene earlier this year had a streak of 29 straight free throws.
Greene is attempting to become only the fourth person in the long history of the Big West Conference to shoot more than 90 percent from the free throw line in a single season. This season's mark of .916 is the second-best mark in the history of the conference.
"Shooting a free throw is like a layup," said Greene. "It's supposed to be easy. I put a lot of expectations on myself. Missing a free throw can haunt you. I try to do my part by making free throws and keeping us in the game."
Greene studies the techniques of the great NBA shooters such as Steve Nash of the Los Angeles Lakers (a. 904 career free throw shooter), and Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors (a .900 free throw shooter) and Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder (a .883 career free throw shooter).
In shooting .916 this year, Greene has made an incredible 141-of-154 free throws. Greene's successful tenure in shooting free throws started as a youngster learning the game. "I hit around 87 percent of my shots in high school," remembers Greene, who says the secret to success is to simply keep working. "Free throw shooting is just going back to the basics."
Malouf credits his success as a free throw shooter to his high school and college coaches, particularly Abe Androff. Following graduation from Hoover High School in Glendale, Malouf played at Glendale College where Androff served as head coach for 24 years.
"Abe played with the great free throw shooter, Bill Sharman, in the late 1940's at USC for Trojan head coach Sam Barry," remembers Malouf. "We would all stay after practice and just shoot free throws. Abe always said … 'hit 50 free throws in a row, and I will buy you a malt and a hamburger.'"
Malouf remembers hitting 79 straight free throws after practice. "That's a pretty good streak," Malouf smiles. "In my last year of high school and my two years at Glendale College, the coaches showed me how to shoot, and of course I practiced at home."
Malouf has given Greene a large folder of notes he has compiled over the many years on how to become a successful free throw shooter.
"Josh keeps his balance," Malouf noticed. "He focuses on the middle of the rim. He has his elbow in, and his fingers are pointed straight ahead at the basket. Then he follows through. Josh has the touch, the follow through, the focus, the concentration and the techniques. The two things that I believed win games were playing defense and hitting your free throws. I've been saying that for 40 years. What's your best offense? It's playing your best defense. Even John Wooden used to talk about that."
Malouf transferred to then San Fernando Valley State during mid-season of the 1961-62 campaign. He played two and one-half seasons for the Matadors (1961-64). Malouf remembers he shot 91 percent for most of his senior season. He ended his senior year at .869 (93-for-107).
"I remember I had a bad game at Westmont College where I hit only 1-of-4 free throws," said Malouf, who later discovered that one of the rims was bent.
Malouf's first full season as a Matador was during the 1962-63 campaign, the year the Matadome opened its doors for intercollegiate basketball competition. Mark Cooley, a Matador Hall of Famer, and a former teammate of Malouf, alerted Malouf that his long-standing free throw records were in jeopardy.
"Mark had read several articles to alert me that the free throw records were going to possibly be broken," said Malouf. "Since then I have been keeping close track of Josh's progress. He's a great young man. He deserves it."
Malouf proudly admits that despite his age (72-years-old), he could still make around 85 percent of his free throws.
Asked if he would like to challenge Josh Greene to a free throw shooting contest, Malouf's competitive fire remains. "That might be a fun thing to do. I don't mind competing with anybody. Maybe once the season is over."

While working my day job, I came across the need to make a background image responsive, keeping the same aspect ratio at different widths. The limitation was that we couldn't change any HTML or back end code so changing it to a simple
img was out of the question. I then found the following technique somewhere on Stack Overflow but unfortunately I forgot to bookmark the link so I thought I would document it here. If I find the link (or if anyone knows of it or finds it and sends it in), I will add it to this post to give proper credit.
The Technique
To give a background image to an element when you want the whole image to display, you have to define the height and width to be the same size as the image itself (you can't apply this technique to image sprites unfortunately) but that doesn't work well with responsive layouts. The width is fine but specifying a height is problematic if you want the image to scale, keeping the same aspect ratio and without leaving space below or chopping off the image.
The way around this is so set the
height to
0 and work out the height depending on the aspect ratio of the image itself and use
padding-bottom to reveal the image instead. To do this you have to divide the width by the height and multiply by 100. This is the percentage of width to height which is then applied to the bottom padding as a percentage to reveal the image and will now keep the aspect ratio of the image and the element it is applied to consistent at all widths. You'll also need to use
background-size: 100% to keep the image the same size as the element.
[html]Background Image Applied Here[/html]
[css].background {
display: block;
height: 0;
padding-bottom: 62.571428571429%;
background: url(image.jpg) no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
text-indent: -9999px;
This isn't a fix-all technique but it does work in this specific example and I know I'll be using it again and again in the future.

Marine aviation programs navigate budget turbulence amid Pentagon cutbacks
San Diego expected to fair well
As the Defense Department braces for at least $489 billion in budget cuts over the next decade, the Marine Corps has prepared a plan for deeper manpower reductions but hopes to retain its major aviation programs, the head of Marine aviation said Wednesday.
Lt. Gen. Terry Robling, deputy commandant for aviation, said he could not release specifics of the plan until the president and defense leaders speak to Congress next week, but San Diego will likely be relatively unscathed by the first round of reductions.
The overall defense budget request for fiscal year 2013 "is not pretty. We had to take some big cuts," Robling told a meeting of the San Diego Military Advisory Council. In light of what he described as painful belt-tightening, "what we came up with was the most capable Marine Corps that the nation could afford at this time."
Last month, the Pentagon announced that the Marine Corps would have to reduce its active-duty end strength by 20,000 Marines, from about 202,000 to 182,000, after combat operations end in Afghanistan in 2014. That is almost 5,000 fewer Marines than the Corps had planned for in a force structure review late last year, but more than the Corps' strength of about 173,000 before the Sept. 11 attacks.
The Corps had planned last year for the smaller cut of about 15,000 Marines through deactivation of units affecting about 7,000 East Coast Marines and about half that number from the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force headquartered at Camp Pendleton.
More units are expected to be deactivated to accommodate the additional drawdown, but Col. Sean Gibson, a spokesman for Marine Corps Combat Development Command, declined to comment Wednesday on which might be under consideration.
So far, units from the West Coast force scheduled for elimination or relocation include HMLA-367, which is moving its Huey and Cobra helicopters from Camp Pendleton to Hawaii, and a company of Twentynine Palms tankers.
Offsetting the changes, however, will be the commandant's directive to fully staff operational units, which have been running with 88 percent to 90 percent manpower in recent years, Robling said.
"For the manpower piece here in San Diego, the Marine Corps is actually going to be doing pretty good," he said. "We're going to be manned at more people in those units, so you won't see much of a difference."
Miramar Marine Corps Air Station will be swapping several units in coming years and eventually will lose its Hornet training squadron when the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jet arrives in San Diego about a decade from now.
"We've got aircraft transitioning, people moving and squadrons relocating to uphold the Marine Corps aviation plan as a whole," said 1st Lt. Maureen Dooley, a spokeswoman for the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. But overall, "we're not really losing personnel."
Whatever manpower reductions are made to the Corps will be handled through attrition and retirement, said Master Gunnery Sgt. Mark Oliva, public affairs chief for the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. "You're not going to see 3,500 Marines get their pink slips tomorrow.
