ADA Guidelines
Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act provides comprehensive civil right protections for "qualified individuals with disabilities." An "individual with a disability" is a person who:
- has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a "major life activity," or
- has a record of such an impairment, or
- is regarded as having such an impairment.
The ADA Handbook published by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Department of Justice states: "examples of physical or mental impairments include, but are not limited to, such contagious and noncontagious diseases and conditions as orthopedic, visual, speech, and hearing impairments; cerebral palsy, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, mental retardation, emotional illness, specific learning disabilities, HIV disease (whether symptomatic or asymptomatic), tuberculosis, drug addiction, and alcoholism. Homosexuality and bisexuality are not physical or mental impairments under the ADA."
"Major life activities" include functions such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working. Individuals who currently engage in the illegal use of drugs are not protected by the ADA when an action is taken on the basis of their current illegal use of drugs.
"Qualified" individuals are defined as follows:
- A "qualified" individual with a disability is one who meets the essential eligibility requirements for the program or activity offered.
- The "essential eligibility requirements" will depend on the type of service or activity involved.
The stated mission of the Department of Occupational Therapy at Samuel Merritt University is to prepare entry-level occupational therapists who can evaluate, manage, and treat the general population of acute care and rehabilitation patients/clients, in a variety of health care settings. Potential occupational therapists are expected to complete the academic and clinical requirements of the professional MOT program before they can sit for the registration examination and practice. The purpose of this document is to delineate the cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills deemed essential to completion of this program and to perform as a competent generalist in occupational therapy.
If a student cannot demonstrate the following skills and abilities, it is the responsibility of the student to request an appropriate accommodation. The University will provide reasonable accommodation as long as it does not fundamentally alter the nature of the program offered and does not impose an undue hardship such as those that cause a significant expense, difficulty or are unduly disruptive to the educational process.
Cognitive Learning Skills
The student must demonstrate the ability to:
1. Conceptualize a sequential progression of tasks and/or standardized testing and make objective conclusions based on the test results.
2. Apply critical thinking in the creation, development, generalization and implementation of adaptations to normative methods of behavior and function.
3. Demonstrate an understanding of the basic anatomical structures and physiological mechanisms that underlie conditions of human dysfunction and occupational performance.
4. Analyze the sequential steps, cognitive skills and motor performance of specific functional tasks relevant to the safety, environment and developmental life tasks of a patient/client. This analysis should also take into account ethnic background, gender and cultural variables.
5. Select constructive activities suited to an individual's current physical capacity, intelligence level, and interest, so as to upgrade the individual to maximum independence, prepare for activities of daily living and appropriate life tasks, assist in restoration of functions and/or aid in adjustment to disability.
6. Assess and identify cognitive and functional deficits, and determine adaptive or compensatory methods of functioning.
7. Apply critical reasoning and independent decision-making skills.
8. Assess patient/client safety and maintain or create safe environments during specific tasks, to enhance patient/client independence in a variety of potential environments.
Psychomotor Skills
The student must demonstrate the following skills:
1. Sitting: Maintain upright posture.
2. Standing: Student-controlled activity employable during lecture, clinical instruction and laboratory time.
3. Locomotion ability to:
a. Get to lecture, lab and clinical locations, and move within rooms as needed for changing groups, partners and work stations.
b. Physically maneuver in required clinical settings, to accomplish assigned tasks.
4. Manual tasks:
a. Lifting ability sufficient to maneuver an individual's body parts effectively to perform evaluation and treatment techniques.
b. Manipulate common tools used for screening tests and therapeutic intervention of the individual.
c. Demonstrate the ability to safely and effectively guide and facilitate patient/client movement skills and motor patterns through physical facilitation and inhibition techniques (including ability to give time-urgent verbal feed back).
d. Manipulate or guide another person's body in transfers, ambulation, positioning and assisted or facilitated trunk, head and limb movement.
e. Manipulate bolsters, pillows, plinths, mats, assistive/adaptive devices, and other supports or chairs to aid in positioning, moving, or treating a patient/client effectively.
g. Competently perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using guidelines issued by the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross.
5. Gross motor ability to participate in recreational or movement activities that may involve tossing, catching, weight shifts, reaching, balancing on equipment, etc.
6. Small motor/hand skill usage ability to:
a. Legibly record/document evaluations, patient care notes, referrals, etc. in standard medical charts in hospital/clinical settings in a timely manner and consistent with the acceptable norms of clinical settings.
b. Demonstrate or complete activities or tests with adequate degree of fine motor dexterity.
c. Sense changes in an individual's muscle tone, skin quality, joint play, kinesthesia, and temperature to gather accurate objective evaluative information in a timely manner and sense that individual's response to environmental changes and treatment.
d. Legibly record thoughts for written assignments or tests.
7. Visual acuity to:
a. Read patient/client charts or histories in hospital/clinical setting.
b. Observe even the slightest aberrations of patient/client motor performance during tasks/tests.
8. Hearing or ability to receive and:
a. Effectively respond to oral requests/instructions from patients and team members.

More fun than a barrel of 'splosions
In late 2006, Avalanche Studios gave gamers the opportunity to take control of CIA super-agent Rico Rodriguez as he liberated the tropical island nation of San Esperito, filled with b-movie action and vehicle stunts in Just Cause. He was armed with a grappling hook, parachute, a massive array of vehicles of all types, and the ever-trusted "Stunt Position". However, Rico's debut suffered from boring and repetitive side missions, as well as several noticeable and frequent bugs as a result of the game being rushed to market which stopped Just Cause from reaching its full potential.
It is extremely fortunate, then, that Eidos Interactive teamed up with Avalanche Studios to develop Just Cause 2, released on March 23, 2010 for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Just Cause 2 takes the formula and basic design of the original and re-imagines it, adding new weapons, vehicles, a better grapple/parachute system, a brand new massive island to explore, more varied side missions, and a lot more to do outside of missions in general. While they easily could have just crammed all of this together carelessly, the whole experience flows well and follows a very natural progression. You'll never just stand there and wonder what do to next.
The game takes place on the south-east island nation of Panau, which features deserts, dense jungle forests, sprawling cities, and snow-capped mountains; all of which come together very nicely to create a massive game world for you to explore, destroy, and cause pandemonium to your heart's content. In order to get to these locales, you can jack one of the many and decently distinct vehicles roaming the streets, steal government transport in the form of jeeps and sometimes tanks, or order one of your super spy vehicles to be dropped off close to you via your Black Market dealer. You can also order some of your weapons through this magic man, in case you need some extra firepower.
Progression in Just Cause 2 is governed by Chaos. Chaos is earned by completing missions (and the dozens of side missions), blowing up government property, and also by finding some of the game's nearly infinite number of collectibles scattered across Panau. You need Chaos to unlock new weapons, new missions, and new vehicles, so you will be actively engaged in sabotage, searching for collectibles, and helping out the locals with a few dangerous tasks for a good portion of your visit. The only downside is that throughout the game, you will be blowing up the same towers, gas tanks, etc over and over again; every settlement and military base is filled with the exact same destructible objects, save for a few specific cases. This probably won't concern you, however, because blowing @#%$ up is just so darn entertaining.
In fact, going around and sabotaging government installations and partaking in side missions is a lot more interesting than what the main storyline has to offer. It's really just a half-interesting spy story with heavy nationalist overtones, with few memorable characters. All of that takes place over only 11 missions, which feels pretty short as a main narrative. However, this leaves more time and puts more focus on the explosive fun to be had elsewhere, so it's forgivable. It's also worth mentioning that the voice acting isn't very good, with cheesy dialog and laughable accents, and a general lack of emotion throughout. So with that, as well as the completely over-the-top craziness that governs the gameplay, it begins to strongly resemble a B-list action movie.
As well as housing a gargantuan number of things to do, the island of Panau, and almost everything in JC2, look beautiful. Water reflects sunlight just like you'd expect it to, the snow has a perfect texture to it (you can almost feel it chilling Rico to the bone), explosions are always a treat to see and never get old (you'll be seeing a lot of them), the forests are super dense and lifelike, and the whole natural world is uber detailed. The city portions, however, look really bland in comparison, and there is lots of repetition in building design. Also, the pre-rendered cutscenes are passable, but are overshadowed by the gorgeous world they take place in. You'll also encounter the same pedestrian and enemy models more than you'd perhaps expect, but you won't notice, because you'll be too busy with your crazy, over-the-top, summer blockbuster shenanigans.
Whether those shenanigans be swinging through the city like spider-man, or crashing a jet plane into a fuel tank, jumping out and parachuting to a government jeep, shooting the government skin-jobs in the face, then driving off triumphantly, you'll be able to do it with ease thanks to the game's intuitive and flowing control system. Using the game's parachute and grappling hook combo takes a bit of getting used to, but after the half hour learning curve, you'll feel like a professional adrenaline junkie/ CIA bad-ass. All of the vehicle stunts are performed by first getting into stunt position with a press of a button, then choosing which action to perform using the on-screen prompts. It's a very straight-[forward system, but again, take some getting used-to.
At the end of the day, you're left with an open-world game that generally looks great, plays well, and offers limitless fun to be had. There are a few problems with the voice-acting, and there's a lot of repetition with the enemy-types and destructible objects, but you'll still be flying around and blowing stuff up like there's no tomorrow, which is what the game does best. There are an infinite number of possibilities in Just Cause 2, and the whole island of Panau is your playground. When everything is taken into consideration, it comes together to create a super crazy open world game that's highly entertaining. If that sounds appealing to you, you should definitely check out this game.

God Vs Darwin: Will the Creationists Triumph over Science?by
Jacques Arnould
- Released
- 20/04/11
- Book Genre
- General, Religious
There are several ways of envisioning creationism. Some believers will see the mark of God in this struggle of his faithful to defend the truth of the Bible and religious tradition. The atheist will lament over the slight of these remnants of religion which continue to trammel humanity in its march towards a better world, with gods gotten rid of. The sociologist and historian will pore over these ingredients that make up such a fascinating mixture and will find the decline of the theme science and religion forever renewed. The thinker nourished on evolutionism will wonder about the survivial of such debates. But if we allow that the human species cannot do withot either, the labour of the scientists or religious beliefs, must we not conclude, from the persistence of the upheavals between evolutionists and creationists, that the latter are also indispensable to the vitality of our societies, and to public debate?'

I need help combining some javascript. The script is for displaying 3 images based on stock in the warehouse. On top of that, the stock is in ether "EA" each's or in "TH" thousands, so the code has to times the TH by 1000. I have each part working independently. Need help combining them. In the javascript code you will see something like ##word## this is a token that pulls data from the database. Just think of it as a number. In the end result I wanted to be able to first figure out if it is in "EA" or in "TH" if in "TH" times by 1000 then run the second script below.
The first part is what determines to multiply "TH" by 1000.
if ("##iumr##" == "EA")
document.write(##IVULP##.toFixed(0)+" Rolls per Pack");
else if ("##iumr##" == "TH")
document.write(##IVULP##*1000+" Pieces per Pack" );
The second part is what tells it what image to use. In Stock, Partial Stock, Out of Stock. I need to combine the top code and the code below.
//var LQORDA = ##LQORDA##
//var LQORD = ##LQORD##
checkVal(##Formula(@Sum(##LQORD## * 1000))##,##Formula(@Sum(##LQORDA## * 1000))##,##CLOSQTsell##)
//if (LQORD
// {
//document.write('([insert stock] available)');
// } else if (LQORD>LQORDA){
//document.write('([insert stock] available)');
Any help would be appreciated.
Wow, this looks like code from hell. ;)
I realy tryed to figure out what you are tring to achive in your code, but have no idea. What framework causes such code? Maybe we can solve your problem on an abstract level.
If I got you right, you have two sripts A and B (different functions or files or what?). Normaly if you want the execution of B to be dependet of the execution of A you have store the decission from A in variable or a flag (or use the same if condition in B). You can now make your decission in B based on the flag or variable you have created in A.
var flag;
function A() {
if (unit == "EA") {
flag = "EA" /* you can also store a calculated value */
else if (unit == "TH") {
flag = "TH"
document.write("..." );
function B() {
if (flag == "EA") {
/* do it for each */
else if (flag == "TH") {
/* do it for thousands */
Maybe this is a push in the right direction.
PS: Try using the code blocks in your posts. It makes the code much more readable.
Thanks I'll try this!
HAHAH it is crazy the system that I am using for web development. I have to use a lotus notes program that some guy developed and on top of that he uses his own programing language on top of HTML to build the website!

You're walking home from school on a windy November day when — whoosh! — a breezy blast smacks you in the face. As your teeth start to chatter and you pull your jacket closed, you notice your eyes are tearing up. Your eyes are tearing, but you're not sad. What's going on? Your eyes are "watering."
When your eyes water, they're making tears, just like when you cry. The tears from watering eyes help protect your eyes. How? By keeping them moist and washing out dust and other foreign stuff that gets in there. The tears from watering eyes might only fill your eyes or they might trickle down your face.
Whether you're crying or your eyes are just tearing, the liquid in your eyes is created the same way. All tears come out of tear glands, or lacrimal (say: LAH-krum-ul) glands, found way up under your upper eyelids. Tears wash down from the glands and over your eyes.
Some of the tears drain out of your eyes through tear ducts, or lacrimal ducts. These ducts are tiny tubes that run between your eyes and your nose. Each tear duct is like a tiny bathtub drain. When the tears fill up your eyes, they drain out through the tear ducts. You have two tear ducts — one near the inside corner of each eye. You can see these holes if you gently pull down your lower eyelid a bit.
If tears are flowing quickly, like when you're crying pretty hard, the ducts can't drain them all, so tears run down your face. And have you ever noticed that your nose sometimes runs when you cry? That's because some of the tears making their exit through the ducts end up coming out of your nose.
Eyes water for lots of different reasons besides crying. Anything that irritates the eye can bring on tears because the eye will try to wash it out. So when something gets stuck in there — like dirt or an eyelash — here come the tears!
You can't always see the stuff that gets in your eyes. Have you ever walked into a smoky room? If so, you may have noticed your eyes tearing up as protection against the smoke. Even though the particles that make up smoke are too small to see, they can still bug your eyes. Eyes might also water if you're around an onion that's being peeled or chopped. The fumes onions give off actually contain tiny chemicals that can get in your eyes and make them hurt.
Things that can dry out your eyes, like cold air or wind, will make eyes water, too. To protect the eyes from getting too dry, the tear glands crank out the tears. Imagine skiing down a hill with dry eyes as all that wind rushed at you. That would really hurt!
People's eyes also tear when they have allergies; infections like a cold; or pinkeye, known as conjunctivitis (say: con-JUNK-tih-vie-tis). All of these irritations can inflame the eyes and make them water.
You might not think twice about your watering eyes, but some people do have trouble making tears because their tear glands don't produce enough tears. Certain medical conditions or medicines can cause dry eyes.
Another problem is not being able to drain the tears, so the eyes can get too full of liquid. This may happen because someone has a blocked tear duct. Babies can be born with blocked lacrimal ducts. They usually open on their own, but some babies need a small operation to clear the ducts.
So now you know what your eyes are up to when they get all wet. It's such a beautiful story, it brought tears to our eyes!

Consumed by sadness, Luke's only respite from his respectable life is on a Tuesday, when he heads off to seek solace in a hideaway deep in the calm heart of the woods. Locked in his thoughts and dreams, living his humble 'Tuesday' life, Luke's quiet sadness intrigues Amy Maitland, a bright young woman whom Luke seems at first not to notice.
Amy finds herself wondering more and more about this elusive man. But Amy worries too about Daisy, her beloved best friend, who masks the misery of a difficult home life behind her carefree hilarity. Amy knows that under the bravado and humour there is a desperate woman, searching for stability and love -- seemingly at any cost.
Calling Luke her 'Tuesday Man', Daisy falls head over heels in love with him. Although he's aloof and appears to have little time for romance, she means to have him.

"Lovely for summer listening"
I very much enjoyed listening to this audio book.It is not the sort that I would usually read, but a friend recommended another book by this author which I did read and enjoyed, so thought i'd give this a go on audiobook.
It was great to listen to while doing boring chores. I could emerse myself in doing the lawns or dishes on autopilot while I listened to find out what happened to the characters, who they were interacting with and how seemingly random people ended up interacting with eachother. It really reminded me that people know eachother through communication and love. This book also has a twist that shows how intertwining hearts come back to eachother in the end. It has heart renching moments and loving moments, a must for people who like a rollercoaster of emotion in books. It did have a couple of slower sections but these do have story info so it is good to keep listening.

Bras can be supportive, sexy, comfortable – ideally all at the same time.There are bras for many needs and occasions so be sure to research before you buy.
shop bras
Demi bras, also known as "balconette" bras, offer less support and coverage than a full cup but allow lower-cut clothing to be worn without the bra being seen. This style is a favourite for lingerie looks and is ideal for sustaining still, firm breasts. They are designed to provide lift and a cleavage-enhancing shape and cover approximately one half to three quarters of the breast. This style is best suited for petite to average-figured women.Front Closure Bra
Unlike conventional bras, a front closure bra has closures (usually hooks and eyes) on its front rather than its back. Front closure bras feature a racerback-style back and lie completely flat for a smooth, discrete look. As many women find the hooks of a traditional bra cumbersome, the ease of access front closure bras provide can be something to consider when making a purchase decision. Additionally, many women find front closure bras more comfortable as they are normally constructed without metal clasps and feature a stronger band that provides significant back support. Front closure bras come in a variety of styles, including sports bras, push-up bras and padded bras.Full Coverage Bra
As its name indicates, a full coverage bra covers most of the breast. These styles come up high in the cup and are great for giving lift, support and separation. Its shoulder straps sit closer to your neck and are thicker in comparison to other styles.Full Figure Bra
Full figure bras offer comfort and support features designed specifically for full figured, voluptuous women and can range in sizes from 38 to 56 band size. They can include features such as a leotard back, multi-part cups and wider straps for sturdy support. Full figure bras are available in a multitude of styles, ranging from minimizer bras to support bras to plunge bras, and more. Full figure bras are designed for more than simply function. They often feature beautiful and sultry embellishments such as lace, tulle netting and embroidery.Lace Bra
Lace bras offer a look that is sexy, elegant, feminine and intimate and have long been a popular choice for women that wish to combine an alluring look while not sacrificing comfort and support.Longline Bra
Longline bras feature a design similar to a partial corset. They are worn to give the appearance of a smooth and slim figure and provide additional back and shoulder support. Longlines are available in a number of styles, including strapped, strapless, lingerie/lace and posture. As this style of bra covers a larger portion of the torso you might wish to get properly sized before purchasing one.Maternity Bra
This bra is specifically designed for women who are pregnant. Pregnant women often have swelling and sensitivity in their breasts. This style of bra is constructed with comfortable fabric and wider straps that increase support and reduce bounce and irritation. Its cups are designed to expand and adjust as breasts increase in size over the course of a pregnancy.Minimizer Bra
Minimizer bras help to de-emphasize the bust, and are great for women with larger breasts. This bra can help reduce the look of bust size by one to two cup sizes by compressing and rearranging the breasts. Not meant for every woman, some find that this bra's compression causes discomfort and choose to wear it selectively.Nursing Bra
The nursing bra is designed to help make breastfeeding simpler and easier by giving a nursing infant easy feeding access, while still supporting the mother. Typically the cups of nursing bras are covered with two flaps of fabric that can be unclasped at the top and pulled down to expose the mother's breast for nursing. It's best to choose a nursing bra as close as possible to your due date for the best fit.Plunge Bra
This style is often worn with a low-cut blouse, dress or top and plunges between the wearer's breasts. This allows the bra to remain covered even in low neckline apparel.Posture Bra
A posture bra is designed to help reinforce correct spinal posture and as well as alleviate upper back stress. They typically come in two styles: longline and athletic. Longline designs provide more support and are recommended for women that have a natural forward shoulder roll or a larger bust. Many posture bras have front closures, specially designed criss-cross bands in the back that provide extra support and front/side panels to support the breasts.Push-Up/Padded Bra
Push-up bras create the appearance of increased cleavage using angled cups (which generally have underwires) and a variety of padding types (with more padding in the lower cup) including graduated padding, cookies (oval shaped, removable demi pads) and demi cups.Racerback Bra
A racerback bra is designed for an invisible fit under tank tops and is ideal for low impact workouts and relaxing at home. The name for this style comes from the unique configuration of its straps. Racerback bras have straps that join in the centre of the back either in a T-back or Y-back. This design is useful for wearing with garments where traditional straps would be visible. Many sports bras use racerback construction.Seamless Bra
Molded from one piece of fabric and often featuring underwire construction, a seamless underwire bra is designed to fit smooth under clothing, creating a shapely silhouette. Seamless bras are a great choice for pairing with clingy tops and lightweight jerseys as their smooth lines help the bra to remain undetectable. Seamless bras are available in many styles, including push-ups, minimizers and demi bras to name a few.Special Needs Bras
Some bras feature specialized designs to help women with specific requirements. One example is a mastectomy bra. This bra is intended for women who have lost one or both breasts in a mastectomy treatment. It is designed so that a prosthesis can be inserted and held in place.Sports Bra
Sports bras are specifically designed to offer support during physical activity. They feature varying levels of support – from light support (ideal for yoga) to maximum support (for running and aerobics). Sports bras work by compressing the bust close to the ribcage for minimal movement. They provide total coverage and are very high cut and full in the cup. Sports bras are often available in racerback style as its straps stay in place and the halter-like fit provides superb support.Strapless
This bra style is ideal for strapless outfits. Some strapless bras come with detachable straps, allowing you to wear the bra in the normal way or as a halterneck or crossover back. They come in a variety of styles, from underwire and push-up bras for formal dresses to bandeau bras you can wear underneath more casual strapless tops and dresses.T-Shirt Bra
Invisible under even the thinnest fabrics, t-shirt bras have a seamless, contoured style designed to prevent any show-through even when wearing tight-fitting t-shirts. Great for year-round use, t-shirt bras may not have an underwire and are constructed with fabric that won't stick to your clothing.Wire Free Bra
Wire free bras such as soft cup bras feature designs without underwires and hard plastics in the cups. Instead they are often padded, seamed or lined to provide more comfortable support and shaping. The soft cup bra, for example, utilizes the strength of its underband to provide support.Bra Accessories
Push-up pads can be slipped into the pocket of push-up bras for a natural lift. They are often made or filled with silicone, water, gel, or oil and are effective for helping to fill out swimsuits, sweaters, t-shirts and more for an enhanced bustline.
Adhesive tapes and pasties provide little support but are good coverage options when wearing backless and strapless pieces. Disposable paper bras use a strong adhesive, and silicone pasties can be conveniently washed and re-used.

5 Things That Wrestling Fans Need to Accept
by, 03-21-2011 at 04:12 PM (4425 Views)
Sometimes the wrestling fans annoy me. Actually a lot of the time wrestling fans annoy me. Sometimes you need to fight the fight. But some things, you just have to accept. Here are few things that I think wrestling fans need to accept. You may not like it, but trust me, you'll be better off for it.
1. There Will Never Be Another Wrestling "War" That Involves the WWE
World Wrestling Entertainment has been around for decades. They are engrained into American society. They have stars that are house hold names. They also have a multi million dollar marketing machine behind them. The only way that any other wrestling promotion could compete with that is if they, like Ted Turner, start with millions upon millions of dollars. Like Ted Turner, the owner would also need their own TV network so there is no chance of them being canceled. If you already have that much money, why would you get into the wrestling business and go after WWE. As much as I am a fan of TNA, (Impact is my favorite wrestling show) I don't see them ever being big competition to the WWE. They simply don't have the money to do so. WWE is so far beyond them that they could only catch up if WWE just stopped moving forward. That simply will not happen. You may not like it, but if you want another wrestling war, you better hope that some other promotion gets a show on Thursday nights to compete with TNA. People always say that WWE needs competition to become better. TNA could also use some direct competition as well
2.TNA and ROH Cannot Grow If They Only Cater to the "Hardcore" Fans
The hardcore wrestling fan is a minority. WWE is as successful as it is, because they also serve the casual fan. Doing so requires them to do a lot of things that hardcore fans don't like. Things like, dance offs and guests hosts and the Great Khali. The hardcore fans don't like him but there are thousands of people in India who will spend money on WWE because he's there. Everyone says they want TNA to get bigger, but they hate all of the things that would actually help them become bigger. If you really want TNA to be big enough to compete with WWE, then they need to get mainstream publicity.
People go on and on about how great ROH is and how great their last IPPV was. But how many buys did it get? How many tickets does an average ROH show sell? ROH caters to the hardcore wrestling fans. They do nothing for the casual fan and because of that they will NEVER grow. I think it would be great if they got a new TV deal. Especially if it were on Thursday nights to give TNA that competition that I mentioned in the first slide. But, if they don't cater to the casual fan as well, they will be in the same boat as TNA is. They won't get as much hate from the IWC but they won't make money or get high ratings. Paul Heyman won't get TNA high ratings. The hardcore fans will like the show more, but they will still be getting 1.2 ratings. Speaking of Paul Heyman, another thing that fans need to accept is...
3. ECW Is Dead
And it died a much needed death. Why won't people let this thing go? The wrestling media wanted to crap on TNA for doing Hardcore Justice last year. I hated it as well. But, why did they do it? Because of the people out there who still think it was the greatest promotion of all time and won't let it go. I wish someone would burn that damn bingo hall down.
4.Going PG Was a Smart Move for WWE. "Attitude" Is Dead
I think that all promotions should learn from the WWE and move to a more PG product. There is much more money in marketing to kids. I'm 25. If I go to a show you sell 1 ticket. I have self control, like most adults, so I'm not going to buy a lot of merchandise. I might get a snack, but that's it. If a kid goes to show, that 1 ticket. Some adult has to take them so that another ticket.. The kid is going to want snacks and so will the adult and with the prices of arena food, that going to equal another ticket. Then the kids going to want merchandise. Those Cena shirts aren't cheap. That's about the price of another ticket. In today's America, PG is where the money is.
Also, everything "attitude" that can be done, has been done. TNA has run into this problem while trying to be more adult oriented. All the good stuff has been done and they bashed for rehashing old stuff. However, the envelope has been pushed so much that anything new will be disturbing and in bad taste. There is nothing new that is both "Attitude" yet doesn't cross into the realm of disturbing and tasteless.
5. Not All Wrestling Fans Are Alike
The promotion that you love, someone else hates. The wrestler that you hate, is someone else's favorite wrestler. The story line that you think is the worst, is the one that someone else thinks is the best.
This is why I hate the phrase "listen to the fans". It assumes that all wrestling fans are alike and that we all want the exact same thing. Some people want the heavy in ring action type of wrestling show that you get from ROH. Some, like myself, prefer the heavy storyline type of wrestling show that you get from TNA. Some, like the variety show that you get from WWE. None of these methods are wrong, they are just different. Each promotion has a fan base that likes the show the way it is.
Why is this so hard for people to understand?

1726, from Latin velaris, from velum "sail, curtain" (see veil (n.)). Originally an architect's term for a type of cupola; phonetics sense is from 1876, on notion of "pertaining to the velum," the anatomist's name for the soft palate (velum in this sense is attested from 1771, in full velum palati). The noun meaning "a velar guttural" is recorded from 1886.

Kovels Antiques: Diversity reigns with collectible candy containersAll types of candy containers are popular collectibles – everything from tin boxes to papier-mache figures to figural glass containers.
By: Terry Kovel, INFORUM
All types of candy containers are popular collectibles – everything from tin boxes to papier-mache figures to figural glass containers.
The containers were made in shapes that attracted children almost as much as the candy did. The containers were used as toys or ornaments long after the candy was gone. Glass candy containers were first made in the late 1800s. Pressed-glass figural bottles could be made and sold for very little money.
Many brands of candy were made in small, round pieces that looked like sugar-coated pills and could be easily poured into a container shaped like a bottle. A strong, watertight holder was needed. Some were a bit educational, like bottles shaped like trains or planes or the Liberty Bell (for the 1876 U.S. centennial). Some were familiar comic figures, like Felix the Cat, while others were historic, like Admiral Dewey. Toys, including dollhouse furniture or even little houses, were children's favorites.
Papier-mache figural candy containers were made in quantity in the l930s in Germany. Unfortunately, many modern fantasy containers have been made, so collectors must study old ones to avoid fakes.
Q: About 32 years ago, I purchased a used Colonial-style cherry dining room suite. It includes a drop-leaf table with two additional leaves, a large buffet and an open hutch. It was made by the Empire Furniture Co. of Johnson City, Tenn. What year, I don't know, but the style makes me think it's from the 1940s or '50s. Is there a market for a suite like mine?
A: Used furniture in excellent condition can be sold to someone looking for a well-made set who doesn't want to pay retail for a new set. Colonial styles have come and gone a few times during the 20th century, but chances are your set is from the 1940s. Empire Furniture was founded in Johnson City in 1894 and remained in business for close to 100 years. Advertise your furniture locally to get the best price. It's easier to sell furniture to buyers who live near you.
Q: My green McCoy vase looks blemish-free, but recently I put water in it for a flower arrangement and later saw that the water was seeping through the bottom. Should I try to have it re-glazed? I've had it a long time but never put water in it before.
A: The vase leaks because the glaze doesn't completely cover the bottom. You may be able to fix the leak by sealing the bottom with paraffin. First make sure the inside of the vase is clean and dry. Then pour in a little melted paraffin and swirl it around until it completely covers the bottom of the vase. Let it cool and harden completely before attempting to put water in the vase. As an extra precaution, it's always best to put a saucer under a vase to prevent leaks from ruining the finish on your table.
Q: I have an old-fashioned high-heel shoe made of light-blue glass, 6 inches long and 3 inches high. The glass has a cut design. Inside the shoe it says, "Made by John E. Kemple Glassworks, Kenova, W.Va." Can you tell me something about it?
A: Kemple Glassworks was founded in 1945 by John E. Kemple and his wife, Geraldine, in East Palestine, Ohio. When the building burned down in 1956, the company moved to Kenova, W.Va.
Kemple made glass from old molds bought from other companies. Kemple owned more than 1,000 molds, including some that were made in the late 1800s. The company closed in 1970 when John died. The molds were sold to Wheaton Industries and are now in the Museum of American Glass at Wheaton Village in Millville, N.J. Your glass shoe is a copy or reissue of a Victorian glass shoe. Value: $25 to $50.
Q: My father collected bottles, especially patent-medicine bottles. He said that some of these "medicines," made before the Food and Drug laws of today, actually killed people. If the bottles held poisons, is it safe to store them in the house?
A: There are several reasons to be careful when you're handling old bottles and containers. One famous pottery jug was made with uranium to radiate water – a health drink in its day. It is dangerous to be near these jugs for a long time because they are still radioactive. Bottles that held poison, bug killer and other toxic liquids were usually identified by special shapes or labels. Once thoroughly cleaned, they are safe to display. But wear rubber gloves and do the cleaning in a well-ventilated room. Any container with remnants of old medicine or liquid also should be carefully cleaned or treated as toxic trash.
A little-known story of an epidemic of "jake leg" illustrates the problem. Jamaican ginger extract, a 19th-century patent medicine with high alcohol content, was sold by bootleggers during Prohibition. In February 1930, the first case of jake leg was noticed: the patient, hospitalized, could not walk properly. His legs "flapped" and he couldn't point his toes up.
About 40,000 people developed the problem in 1930 and 1931 before it was discovered that a pair of Boston bootleggers were fooling government agents by doctoring Jamaican ginger with a plasticizer used to make lacquer and airplane finishes. They marked their product as "medicine." The jake leg epidemic was one of the factors that led to the 1938 Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic act that required product testing.

When the BP oil spill occurred on April 20, 2010 it didn't just affect the fishing industry or the tourism industry, it affected everyone in Mississippi in one way or another. The economy slowed down as a result of the spill and every type of business across the southeast lost revenue during that time.
In 2012, funds were set aside by BP to pay back any type of business which showed a dip in its projected earnings in the time after the oil spill. Many businesses in North Mississippi have ignored their potential settlement because they were not aware that the settlement was for them. Our firm has been spreading the message and working with businesses to determine whether or not they have a claim, and the evaluation is free.
We have seen claims from all sorts of businesses including: car dealerships, retail storefronts, hotels, restaurants, law firms, realtors, developers, and construction companies. Any type of business can file a claim, our experienced attorneys can quickly determine if your business is eligible for settlement funds and submit your claim. Our assessment of your business is confidential and free, you owe us nothing until we collect for you.

A UNIQUE British research programme that gathers crucial information on marine pollution and data relating to climatic change has been saved with help from abroad. The fate of the 50-year-old Continuous Plankton Research Survey has been in doubt for the past two years ever since one of its two original sponsors, the Natural Environment Research Council, announced that it was ending its direct support. The other sponsor, Britain's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF), stepped in to save the programme, but its financial help will cease next spring.
The new proposals mean that the survey will become an independent company with annual funding of up to Pounds sterling 250 000 assembled from a number of different countries, including Canada and Iceland.
Bob Dickson, based at the MAFF's Fisheries Laboratory at Lowestoft, expressed confidence this week that sufficient funding is now available to safeguard the survey.

> Missouri makes its first appearance in NCAA Tournament play since the 2003 "Big Dance", as the third-seeded Tigers take on Ivy League Champion Cornell on Friday afternoon in Boise, Idaho ... Missouri is making its second NCAA trip to Boise ... MU split a pair of games as the #8 seed, defeating #9 Indiana (65-60), before falling to #1 overall seed UCLA (75-74) on an infamous last-second shot by Tyus Edney, which is relived over and over and over by Coca Cola this time of year.
> Missouri is 1-1 all-time vs. #14 seeds in the NCAA Tournament and is 2-2 all-time as the #3 seed ... The Tigers went 2-1 as a #3 seed in 1989 and 0-1 in 1990 ... Missouri defeated #14 Creighton (85-69) in the first round in 1989 and then topped #11 seeded Texas 108-89 before falling to #2-seeded Syracuse (83-80) ... #3 MU fell to #14 Northern Iowa (74-71) in the first round in 1990.
> This is the first trip to the NCAA Tournament for 13 of Missouri's 14 players, but Missouri senior guard Mike Anderson Jr., was part of NCAA Tournament play twice as player at Alabama-Birmingham ... The Blazers played in Boise, Idaho, and beat SEC Champion LSU on March 17, 2005, during Anderson's redshirt year and then made the Big Dance his redshirt freshman season in 2005-06.
> It's certainly been quite the turnaround for Missouri Basketball this year, as the Tigers head back to NCAA Tournament play for the 22nd time in school history ... Mizzou has improved by a school-record tying 12 games from last season's 16-16 record ... The 12-win improvement equals Norm Stewart's 1979-80 squad that won 25 games.
> MU is also just one win away from tying the school record for single-season victories ... The Tigers won 29 games in 1988-89, including a run to the Sweet 16 as a #3 seed through the Midwest Region.
> Missouri cleaned up on a number of postseason All-Big 12 awards at the end of the regular season ... Senior forward DeMarre Carroll was named First Team All-Big 12, First Team Academic All-Big 12 and was the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship Most Outstanding Player ... Leo Lyons was picked Third Team All-Big 12 and J.T. Tiller was an honorable mention selection ... Tiller also shared Defensive Player of the Year honors with Kansas' Cole Aldrich and was a unanimous pick to the All-Defensive Team, while Matt Lawrence was pegged Co-Sixth Man of the Year with Baylor's LaceDarius Dunn ... Zaire Taylor was named to the All-Rookie Team and was also named to the Big 12 All-Tourney squad.
> The Tigers rank among the nation's leaders in several statistical categories heading into this week's NCAA Tournament ... Mizzou is No. 6 nationally in scoring at 81.1 ppg, No. 1 in assists per game at 18.5, No. 2 in steals per game at 10.6, No. 2 nationally in assist/turnover ratio at 1.5 and No. 4 in scoring margin at 14.6 ... Another fun stat: Missouri is No. 5 nationally with 62.4 FG attempts per game and the Tigers have already made 209 more FGs than their opponents through 34 games thanks to the nation's No. 2-ranked turnover margin (+6.6).

Mizzou Quick Hitters
> Just a reminder that Missouri's postseason history and records are available in the 2008-09 media guide on pages 116-121.
> Missouri is making its first trip to NCAA Tournament play since 2003 and will be facing Cornell for just the second time in school history ... The Tigers defeated the Big Red 82-45 and Tiger Radio Network Color Analyst Gary Link lit up the scoreboard for 25 points.
> Missouri is playing its first opponent from the Ivy League since the 2004 season-opener when MU hosted Brown in the first regular-season game inside Mizzou Arena.
> Missouri has been solid in neutral-court settings this year (5-2), which includes last week's Big 12 Championship ... The Tigers also defeated then No. 19 USC, the Pac-10 Tournament Champ, on a neutral court in San Juan.
> Missouri is entering NCAA Tournament play as a conference postseason tournament champion for the seventh time in school history ... The Tigers advanced to the Sweet 16 in 1989 after their Big Eight Tournament run that year, which netted the club an identical #3 seed.
> It's always important to leave things better than you found them and seniors Matt Lawrence and Leo Lyons have helped more than double Missouri's win total from their freshmen campaigns ... In 2005-06, Missouri went 12-16, but now the Tigers are 28-6 and Big 12 Champions, just three years later.
> Missouri has played well against ranked teams this season and is 4-1 vs. Top 25 foes, including a 73-64 Senior Night win over then No. 4 Oklahoma.
> That victory over OU gave the Tigers four Top 25 wins this year, which is the most since the 2001-02 club defeated six ranked teams.
> Did you know, Missouri's win over OU was the first time the Sooners had lost with both Blake Griffin and Juan Pattillo active and healthy for a full 40 minutes?
> Mizzou's 12-4 record in Big 12 play is its best in school history ... The last time Missouri had 12+ league wins was during its undefeated Big Eight Championship year of 1993-94.
> The Tigers own 28 wins this season, which is the second most in school history ... Missouri is just one victory shy of tying 1988-89 squad for most wins in a season.
> In fact, Mike Anderson's .646 winning percentage through three seasons (thus far) makes him the winningest coach in Missouri history during that "first three year stretch" ... Quin Snyder is second with a .620 winning clip through his first-three years.
> With his club's resurgence this season, CBS analyst Seth Davis listed Mike Anderson as one of his Top 10 candidates for National Coach of the Year.
> Anderson was also named a finalist for the prestigious Henry Iba National Coach of the Year Award, presented by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association.
> ESPN's Pat Forde named Anderson a finalist for National Coach of the Year.
> Missouri is coming off an undefeated February, which was just its fourth undefeated February in school history ... The Tigers went 6-0 after going 7-0 in February in 1993-94, 6-0 in 1939-40 and 8-0 in 1920-21.
> A huge factor in Missouri's success this season has been its defense and MU has a school record 359 steals through 34 games.
> In fact, Missouri is averaging 10.6 steals per game which is just behind the 1998-99 Nebraska team (10.9) for the most in Big 12 history.
> This season's club is also No. 2 all-time in school history with 18.5 assists per game ... The 1988-89 Tigers are tops with 19.0 dimes ... However Missouri leads the country in assists per game this season.
> This 2008-09 Tiger squad is the first in school history to have 500 assists, 300 steals and 100 blocked shots.
> Another key for the Tigers continues to be the play of their bench ... On the season, Missouri's reserves are averaging 27.8 points per game, which is a school record.
> The catalyst for Missouri's improved scoring punch off the pine is its five player freshman class ... So far this season that group is averaging 20.2 points.
> With those great bench-scoring totals, the Tigers have had a school-record 11 different players reach double figures this season, surpassing the 10 players that reached double figures in 1961-62, 1974-75, 1994-95 and 2007-08.
> It's not just scoring where the Tigers are balanced ... Missouri has 10 different players averaging nearly 10 minutes a game on the year, including five newcomers.
> Sticking with the balance theme, Missouri has had a school-record tying 10 different players dish out at least 20 assists this season ... The 1987-88 Tigers also had 10 players with 20 dimes on the year, which is truly an incredible stat ... Last year's Tiger team, which was one of the most "unselfish" in school history, had eight players accomplish that feat.
> Missouri has had four or more players reach double figures in the same game 14 times already this season and have had six players do it three in the same game, including twice in Big 12 play vs. Colorado and Oklahoma State.
> With that scoring surge, Missouri has topped the 80-point plateau 19 times in 34 games this season and is 18-1 on the year when scoring at least 80 points ... Missouri has topped 80 points 43 times in the Mike Anderson era (95 games) ... To put that scoring in perspective, the Tigers topped 80 points just 37 times (in total 160 games) the five seasons before his arrival.
> One thing Tiger fans are enjoying this season is points off turnovers ... Missouri is forcing 18.9 turnovers per game and is averaging 21.6 points off those opponent miscues each night.
> Missouri is scoring an impressive 30 percent of its points this season off turnovers (21.7-of-81.1).
> Another impressive stat regarding Missouri's defense is that the Tigers force a turnover on 27 percent of their defensive possessions ... That means opponents are turning it over a little more than once every four possessions vs. the Fastest 40 Minutes in Basketball.
Tiger Tidbits (Individual Notes)
> Senior forwards DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons were named Preseason All-Big 12 Honorable Mention picks prior to the start of the 2008-09 season, but both enhanced their stock throughout the year ... Carroll was named a First Team choice by the coaches, while Lyons was pegged Third Team.
> Carroll also became the first Missouri player to ever be named First Team All-Big 12 and First Team Academic All-Big 12 in the same season ... To cap off the incredible year, Carroll was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Big 12 Championship.
> Carroll is the only player in the Big 12 to rank among the Top 10 in scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage and steals.
> In league play Carroll saw his scoring/rebounding numbers improve to 17.4 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, thanks to a career high 31 tallies at Iowa State on Feb. 7 and a 18.3 ppg scoring average over his last 15 outings this season.
> Carroll's 8.1 rebounds per game in league action were the most for a Tiger since Arthur Johnson's 9.3 rpg 2002-03.
> The 31 points were the most on the road in a Big 12 game for a Tiger since Clarence Gilbert poured in 40 at Colorado in 2002.
> Carroll also joined Leo Lyons as 30-point scorers this season ... The last Tiger teammates to drop 30 in the same season were Arthur Johnson and Rickey Paulding in 2003-04.
> The last time Missouri had two forwards score 30+ points in the same season was 1984-85 when Derrick Chievous scored 32 vs. Arizona in Hawaii and Malcolm Thomas dropped in 33 vs. Oklahoma at home.
> Carroll has topped 20 points in six of his last 15 outings, including 20 points in the Big 12 Championship Game against Baylor.
> Carroll topped the 1,000-point plateau vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff and now has 1,449 career tallies at the Division I level, 460 of which came during his first two seasons at Vanderbilt ... Lyons has 1,162 career points and became the 38th member of Missouri's 1,000-point club following his career high 30-point night vs. Baylor.
> The ever consistent Carroll has reached double figures in 30-of-34 games this season and either Carroll or Lyons have led Mizzou in scoring 27 times this year.
> Carroll has six double-doubles on the year including three double-dips in his last seven games ... Carroll also has 11 other games this season with either eight or nine rebounds, so he's narrowly missed on a number of other double-doubles opportunities.
> The Junk Yard Dog leads all Big 12 forwards with 54 steals thanks to a career high five thefts vs. Coppin State ... Carroll also ranks among the Big 12's leaders in scoring (6th), steals (6th), field goal percentage (3rd) and rebounding (8th).
> Over his last 37 games Leo Lyons has eight 20-point outings and has reached double figures in 32-of-37 contests.
> Lyons has actually reached double figures in 19 of his last 20 Big 12 regular-season games thanks to his tremendous free throw shooting ... Since the start of Big 12 play Lyons is No. 7 in the Big 12 at the foul line at 81.3 percent.
> The Kansas City, Kan., native enjoyed a memorable night vs. Baylor, as he hit 8-of-11 field goals and 14-of-15 free throws en route to a career high 30 points.
> Matt Lawrence is starting to heat up from the perimeter and has hit multiple three-pointers in 18 of his last 29 outings.
> With that tremendous shooting and solid all-around play, Lawrence was named the Big 12's Sixth Man of the Year by the league coaches.
> In fact, over his last 20 games Lawrence is shooting 46.4 percent from bonus distance, hitting 52-of-112 treys.
> Lawrence has also been shooting it well away from home recently, as the 6-foot-7 sniper is 28-of 56 (.500) from bonus distance in his last eight road/neutral-court games.
> The St. Louis native is already No. 2 in career three-point makes at MU with 236 and is No. 10 all-time for three-point makes in Big 12 history.
> Despite being a prolific shooter, Lawrence has 30 steals, 30 assists and just 14 turnovers on the season.
> Zaire Taylor is Mr. Clutch for the Tigers, with game-winners at No. 16 Texas on Feb. 4 and the game-winner vs. No. 16 Kansas on Feb. 9.
> Taylor hit a driving lay-up at UT and was fouled with 5.5 seconds left and his 10-foot jumper with 1.3 seconds left lifted MU to a 62-60 win over Kansas and was the No. 1 play on ESPN's Top 10 Plays of the Day.
> Taylor has reached the 100 assist plateau this season and needs three more dimes to move into the Missouri single season Top 10, thanks to his 13 assists in three days at the Big 12 Championship.
> Taylor was named to the Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team after averaging 12.0 points, 4.7 boards and 4.3 dimes in three wins ... He also scored a season high 19 points vs. Oklahoma State in the semifinals.
> His 2.9-to-1 assist/turnover ratio ranks No. 2 in the Big 12 and No. 9 nationally.
> Here's a funny note about Taylor ... He's been named to the All-Rookie Team in two different conferences ... He was named All-Rookie in the Colonial Athletics Association in 2006 as a freshman and was named All-Rookie this year in the Big 12.
> Despite being a slashing/crafty point guard, Taylor has a positive assist/turnover ratio in 29-of-34 games this year and has 7+ assists 11 times on the season, including a season high seven assists vs. K-State and at Colorado.
> Taylor has reached double figures in scoring 10 times this year, including 17 points in that win at No. 16 Texas and ... The Staten Island, N.Y., product also scored 17 points in the win at Georgia and helped lead Mizzou to the home win over Iowa State by scoring 15 points and grabbing five boards.
> Taylor was named the nation's Preseason No. 2 impact transfer in all of college basketball by Rivals.com ... DeMarre Carroll was the preseason No. 1 on that same Rivals.com list last season and didn't disappoint by winning Big 12 Newcomer of the Year honors.
> Junior guard J.T. Tiller became Missouri's first Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and was a unanimous pick to the All-Defensive Team.
> Tiller shared Defensive P.O.Y. with Kansas' Cole Aldrich, but was also an honorable mention choice to the All-Big 12 team.
> Tiller was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year by the Austin American-Statesman.
> Tiller was named the captain of Seth Davis' (CBS & Sports Illustrated) 10th Annual All-Glue Team.
> The Marietta, Ga., native ranks No. 27 nationally with a 2.2 assist/turnover ratio this season.
> Tiller is relentless on defense and turned in one of the great defensive efforts this season vs. Baylor, when he helped hold Curtis Jerrells to a then-season low five points and nine turnovers ... Jerrells entered the game leading the Bears in scoring at 17.4 ppg ... He also helped hold Texas All-American candidate A.J. Abrams to just 11 points, Kansas' Sherron Collins to just nine points and six turnovers and Oklahoma's Willie Warren to just seven points.
> Over his last 12 games Tiller has 57 assists and just 18 turnovers, for an incredible 3.2-to-1 ratio.
> Tiller is one of Mizzou's most well-rounded players and recorded a then-career high six steals vs. Xavier ... The six thefts tied a Puerto Rico Tip-Off tournament record and is No. 7 in Missouri single-game school history.
> Tiller later moved to No. 2 on that list with seven steals vs. Texas Tech, which equals Rickey Paulding for the most ever by a Tiger in a Big 12 game.
> Of Tiller's 23 career double-figure scoring games, 12 have come either on the road or on a neutral-court site, including 4-of-8 road games this season, counting a season high 15 points and seven rebounds at Oklahoma State and 10 points and five assists at Texas.
> Missouri Basketball is coming off a busy, but productive summer that saw all-13 Tigers remain on campus for workouts and classes ... Some members of the squad also had internships in town, including Tiller, who spent the summer as an intern at AFLAC.
> Perhaps the biggest improvement for Missouri this year is the play of its bench and that bench is being led by a host of young players.
> Sophomore forward Justin Safford is making a late-season surge and scored a career high 15 points at Texas A&M on 4-of-4 three-point shooting ... Safford also grabbed three boards in a career high 21 minutes vs. the Aggies.
> The Bloomington, Ill., native opened that week with six points and three boards vs. Oklahoma, before chipping in seven tallies in the Big 12 Championship quarterfinals against Texas Tech.
> Over his last five games Safford is averaging a much-improved 6.4 points on 7-of-9 three-point shooting (.778).
> Freshman guard Marcus Denmon opened his Missouri career with 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting in the Tiger win over Prairie View A&M on Nov. 15 ... That was the highest scoring effort by a Tiger freshman in a debut since Kelly Thames scored 19 against Central Missouri State on Nov. 27, 1993.
> His 16 points vs. Iowa State was a career high for the KC native and he followed that up with 14 tallies in the win over Texas Tech, 11 of which came in the final 20 minutes.
> Did you know that in his first game at Mizzou Arena Denmon actually cheered AGAINST Missouri? But you can't blame him, his brother Martane Freeman was playing for the Colorado Buffaloes, so we'll let that one slide.
> Freshman newcomer Kimmie English knows Mizzou Arena just about as well as the Arena managers and operators ... English made news this summer for sleeping overnight in the team's locker room and will often shoot in the club's 24-Hour practice gym in the early-morning hours.
> The dedication is paying off for English, started 13 consecutive games (before going to the bench on Senior Night) and scored a career high 16 points vs. California in the Tiger's big win, before chipping in 16 more in the win at Iowa State.
> English has reached double figures three times in Big 12 play, including those 16 tallies at Iowa State where he tossed in 4-of-5 treys, while adding four assists.
> Junior Keith Ramsey has played improved basketball over the past few weeks, especially on the defensive end en route to earning five starts in league play.
> Ramsey provided Missouri with a huge lift off the bench vs. Nebraska, blocking three shots vs. the Cornhuskers, while grabbing four boards and coming up with a steal.
> Ramsey scored 10 points vs. Iowa State, which included 2-of-2 shooting from three-point range, before registering a career high 12 tallies at Oklahoma State.
> For his efforts against Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, Ramsey was named the Big 12's Newcomer of the Week on Jan. 26.
> Ramsey ignited Missouri's road win at Georgia, with a pair of blocked shots, two assists, two steals and four points.
> Laurence Bowers, another of Missouri's exciting freshmen, scored a career high 16 points in the win over Colorado.
> Bowers hit a Missouri season-best 7-of-8 field goals, while dishing two assists, ripping two steals and blocking a shot.
> Bowers tied that career high with 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting vs. Kansas State in just 15 minutes ... He also added six boards and a blocked shot in the Tiger win.
> Bowers ranks among Missouri's leaders in dunks this season (9), including a pair of alley-oop slams vs. Coppin State ... Bowers' second dunk was listed #1 on ESPN's Top 10 Plays of the Day on Jan. 6 ... We recommend you check it out ... Note that Bowers is right-handed, but caught the pass with his left hand and then flushed it all in the same motion.
About The Cornell Big Red
Cornell (21-9, 11-3 Ivy) enters the 2009 NCAA Tournament on a two-game winning streak and having won four of its last five games ... The Big Red won the Ivy League's regular-season crown to take the conference's automatic bid ... Ryan Wittman (18.5) paces the Big Red in scoring and three-point makes (93) this year ...The 6-foot-6 junior is shooting treys at a 42 percent clip and paces a solid offensive unit that averages a league best 74.1 points per game ... Louis Dale is a Birmingham, Ala., native and an excellent point guard ... Dale is tied for the team lead with 80 assists and has swiped a team-leading 28 steals to go with his 13.5 points per game ... The Big Red also has some size inside, paced by 7-footer Jeff Foote ... Foote averages 11.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game ... He also has 64 blocked shots.
Mizzou Back In The Big Dance
The Missouri Tigers (28-6 overall) will make its first NCAA Tournament appearance under third-year Coach Mike Anderson - and the 22nd all-time for the school - when they travel to Boise, Idaho, for a March 20th First-round game with Cornell (21-9).
> Missouri will carry the #3 seed in the West Region, while Cornell will look to defend the region's #14 seed ... Game time between the Tigers and Big Red will be approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of Friday's first game between Marquette and Utah State, which is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. Boise (Mountain) time, 11:30 a.m. Columbia (Central) time ... Allowing for a two-hour first game, that puts the tentative start time for Mizzou's game at 2 p.m. central time.
> Mizzou's appearance in the Big Dance is the first for the Tigers since they went 1-1 in 2003 - winning a last-second affair against Southern Illinois and losing an overtime heartbreaker to Marquette, a potential second-round opponent for Mizzou this year.
> The five-year period between NCAA appearances marks the longest drought for Mizzou since it went without a tournament invite from 1945-75 - a span of 31 tournaments ... Since then, the previous long dry spell for the Tiger program was a three-year drought from 1996-98.
#3-Seed Is Highest Since 1994
Thanks to Mizzou's 28-6 record and strong stretch run, which saw the Tigers win 13 of their last 15 games, MU was awarded a #3 seed in the West Regional ... That marks the highest NCAA Tournament seed for Mizzou since the 1994 Tigers went 14-0 in the old Big Eight Conference, and earned the school's only #1 seed ever (West Regional).
> In fact, there have been only three times in all when the Tigers have been awarded a seed higher than this year's seed - 1994 (#1 - West), 1983 (#2 - Midwest) and 1982 (#2 - Midwest).
> This will mark the third time that Mizzou has taken a #3 seed into the NCAA Tournament ... The other two occasions include 1990 (#3 - Southeast) and 1989 (#3 - Midwest) ... The Tigers are 2-2 alltime as a #3 seed, reaching the Sweet 16 in 1989 with wins over #14 Creighton (85-69) and #11 Texas (108-89) in Dallas, Texas, followed by a loss to #2 Syracuse (83-80) in Minneapolis, Minn, followed by a 74-71 upset loss in the 1990 1st-round to Northern Iowa, held in Richmond, Va.
Tigers vs. the Field
Mizzou is a solid 8-4 during the 2008-09 season against 10 different teams which have reached the 2009 NCAA Tournament ... The Tigers have faced three teams who they find in their same West Regional bracket, going 2-1 against them - beating California and Chattanooga, while losing at Texas A&M. Here's a quick rundown of MU's results this year against the field...
Team Region MU Record
#2 Oklahoma South 1-0
#3 Kansas Midwest 1-1
#4 Xavier East 0-1
#5 Illinois South 0-1
#7 California West 1-0
#7 Texas East 1-0
#8 Oklahoma State East 2-0
#9 Texas A&M West 0-1
#10 USC Midwest 1-0
#16 Chattanooga West 1-0
Final Four Predictors?
We'll have to wait and see just how popular of a pick that Mizzou is for the Final Four among national prognosticators ... If they don't pick the Tigers, shrewd observers of history might want to take note of who the Tigers are playing, however.
> That's because six of the last seven teams who have beaten MU in the NCAA Tournament have gone on to reach the Final Four ... Those include Arizona in 1994, UCLA in 1995, North Carolina in 2000, Duke in 2001, Oklahoma in 2002 and Marquette in 2003. UCLA and Duke both went on to win the national title after downing the Tigers.
> The only time during that stretch where Mizzou's conqueror did not advance to the Final Four was in 1999, when New Mexico downed the Tigers in what ultimately was Coach Norm Stewart's final game of his legendary career ... The Lobos lost to #1-seeded and eventual national champ UConn in their next game, so through a Kevin Bacon-six-degrees-of-separation deal, you could say that MU was still involved in the mix!
Mike Anderson in the NCAA Tournament
Mizzou's Mike Anderson will be making his fourth NCAA Tournament appearance as a head coach ... All three of his previous appearances came in consecutive fashion at Alabama-Birmingham from 2004-06, when the Blazers went a combined 3-3 in those outings.
> Anderson also made 15 other NCAA Tournament appearances as a longtime assistant coach for the legendary Nolan Richardson - 13 at Arkansas and two at Tulsa ... Anderson's record in those games under Richardson was a sterling 26-14, giving him a combined 29-17 all-time record as a head or assistant coach in the NCAA Tournament.
Here's a quick breakdown of Anderson's NCAA experience as a head coach:
Year Opponent Location Result
2006 #8 Kentucky Philadelphia L, 69-64
2005 #6 LSU Boise, Idaho W, 82-68
2005 #3 Arizona Boise, Idaho L, 85-63
2004 #8 Wash. Columbus, Ohio W, 102-100
2004 #1 Kentucky Columbus, Ohio W, 76-75
2004 #4 Kansas St. Louis, Mo. L, 100-74
> In 2004, UAB reached the Sweet 16 as the #9 seed in the Midwest Regional, thanks to a thrilling 102-100 first-round win over Washington and an equally exciting 76-75 win over #1 Kentucky in the second round (both games were played in Columbus, Ohio). The Blazers' Cinderella run was ended in the next game by #4 seed Kansas (100-74, in St. Louis, Mo.).
> In 2005, the Blazers were the #11 seed in the Midwest Regional, and knocked off #6 LSU in an 82-68 upset in Boise, Idaho, followed by an 85-63 loss in the 2nd round to #3-seeded Arizona.
> In 2006, UAB was a #9 seed in the East Regional, and dropped a tight one in its tournament opener to #8-seeded Kentucky, 69-64, in Philadelphia, Pa.
> Of course, Anderson was an assistant coach at Arkansas under the legendary Nolan Richardson from 1986-2002, and the Razorbacks went to 13 NCAA tournaments in 17 seasons, going 26-12 in all ... Included in that amazing win total were three Final Four appearances, as Arkansas won the 1994 National Championship, and finished as 1995 National Runner-Ups, while also reaching the 1990 Final Four. Arkansas also reached the Elite Eight in 1991 and the Sweet 16 in 1993 and 1996.
> Prior to Arkansas, Anderson was also an assistant with Richardson at Tulsa, where they went 0-2 in 1984 and 1985 appearances, losing in '84 in the Mideast 2nd round (after receiving a 1st-round bye) as the #4 seed to #5 Louisville, 69-67, in Anderson's hometown of Birmingham, Ala. ... In 1985, Tulsa was a #6 seed in the West Regional, and was upset in the opening round out in Albuquerque, N.M., 79-75, by Texas-El Paso.
Strong Boise Ties For Anderson
If any Tiger fans are having trouble finding their way around the city of Boise, they might want to call Mizzou Head Coach Mike Anderson, because he likely knows his way around the town better than any non-Boise native in the world.
> Amazingly, Anderson's appearance in the Boise Regional will mark the fourth straight time that he's played there when the city has hosted NCAA Tournament action ... Each of the three previous times Boise has played host to the Big Dance, Anderson has been there - in 2005 as head coach of Alabama-Birmingham, and in 2001 and 1998 as an assistant coach at Arkansas.
> Anderson stands 2-3 all-time in those previous outings in Boise, including 1-1 at UAB, and 1-2 at Arkansas ... Additionally, current Tiger Assistant Coach T.J. Cleveland will be making his third trip to Boise, as he was a player on the 2001 Arkansas team, and was on Anderson's staff at UAB as video coordinator when the Blazers appeared there in 2005 ... Fellow Tiger Assistant Coach Matt Zimmerman was also part of Anderson's UAB staff in 2005.
Mike Anderson At Boise Regional
2009 - #3 Mizzou - vs. #14 Cornell
2005 - #11 UAB - def. #6 LSU (82-68), lost to #3 Arizona (85-63)
2001 - #7 Arkansas - lost to #10 Georgetown (63-61)
1998 - #6 Arkansas - def. #11 Nebraska (74-65), lost to #3 Utah (75-69)
Yes, Mizzou Has Played In Boise Before
Re-hashing this is like pulling off a band-aid - do it quick and get it over with.
> Yes, Mizzou has played in the NCAA Tournament before in Boise, Idaho.
> Yes, the Tigers lost in one of the single-most memorable moments in NCAA Tournament history, thanks in large part to our friends at CBS Sports refusing to let it die.
> The play was the Tyus Edney play in 1995, when the #8-seed Tigers held a 74-73 lead over #1-seed UCLA in the 2nd-round of the West Regional, only to see Edney take an inbounds pass with 4.8 seconds left, drive the length of the floor and flip in a shot to beat the buzzer over the outstretch arms of Derek Grimm for an improbable 75-74 Bruins win. That shot kept UCLA alive, and they eventually went on to claim the national title.
> Prior to that game, which will live in infamy, the Tigers won a 65-60 slugfest with #9-seed Indiana to open the tournament ... That game was more well-known for its post-game happenings, as Hoosier Coach Bob Knight garnered attention for the proceedings of the media conference after the Tiger win.
Tigers Bring Home Big 12 Championship
Mike Anderson made good on his championship promise, as the Tigers raced to three wins in three days to claim the school's first-ever Big 12 Championship ... Missouri topped Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Baylor in successive fashion, highlighted by a 67-59 win over OSU in the semifinals.
> The tournament championship was Missouri's 13th all-time, joining the six Big Eight Postseason crowns and six Big Eight / Big Seven Holiday Tournament titles.
> Prior to Missouri's league championship on March 14th, MU's last league crown came in 1994 after a 14-0 undefeated run through the Big Eight Conference.
Carroll, Taylor Earn More Big 12 Honors
DeMarre Carroll (Most Outstanding) and Zaire Taylor were named to the Big 12 Championship All-Tournament squads this past week after leading MU to their first Big 12 crown.
> Carroll averaged 14.3 points and 7.0 rebounds, including 20 points in the title game to earn Most Outstanding Player honors.
> Taylor was perhaps Missouri's most consistent and well-rounded performer, averaging 12.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 blocks ... He also scored a career high 19 points against Oklahoma State in the semifinals.
Carroll Needs 11 Points For 1,000 at MU
He reached 1,000 career points earlier this year, but senior forward DeMarre Carroll is just 11 points shy of reaching 1,000 tallies for his Missouri career.
> Carroll has 989 career points in two seasons (66 games) with MU and would become the first Tiger since Byron Irvin (1987-89) to reach 1,000 career tallies in just two seasons ... In fact, Irvin, Malcolm Thomas (1983-85), Willie Smith (1974-76) and Derrick Chievous (1984-86) are the only players in Missouri history to reach 1,000 career points in their first-two seasons.
> For his career, Carroll has 1,449 points, which covers his first-two years at Vanderbilt.
Tigers Protecting the Rock in the Second Half
It's one of the great mysteries of college basketball, how can a team that plays as fast as Mizzou, take care of the basketball so well? Missouri ranks among the nation's leaders in scoring, assists and steals, but averages just 12.4 turnovers per game on the season.
> Those 12.4 turnovers are the fewest in school history and Missouri's last 12 games have been even better, as MU is averaging just 11.1 miscues, including a miniscule 4.3 turnovers in the second half alone.
> During the Tiger's Big 12 Championship run, MU turned the ball over just 3.6 times a game in the second half, while averaging 44.0 points on 10.3 assists.
Ziggy Can Score Too
News Flash, Zaire Taylor is a scorer ... After reaching double figures just six times in the season's first 28 games, Taylor is averaging 12.2 points over his last six games, including four contests in double-figures.
> Taylor opened Big 12 Tourney play with eight points, seven assists and seven boards against Texas Tech, before chipping in a season high 19 points, two assists and two steals in the win against Oklahoma State ... His nine points, four assists and five rebounds vs. Baylor in the title game earned him a spot on the Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team, as he enjoyed tourney averages of 12.0 points, 4.7 boards 4.3 assists and 1.3 blocks.
> Heading into the tourney Taylor was averaging 6.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
