text: At 1280x1024 and 4x AA and 8xAF, NBA Live 2005 still looks jaggy. I know the image quality of this BFG 6800GT PCI-E should be better. I had an X800 Pro and a Neo2 before this and it was super smooth looking, and now it is jaggy. I've read all the reviews and looked at pictures of 4x AA at 1280 and the games look smooth as well. Could it be the drivers? I'm on 67.03 because all the 70.00 series drivers didn't work well with SLI.

Brave New World Eduke32May 29, 2012 Full Version 0 comments
This version works with Eduke32... have fun and comment.
"The Brave New World" mini-mod by Mikko Sandt -
E-mail : email@example.com (keep your eye on MSDN to see if I change it)
Misc.Author Info: Read 'The Bible'. I'm from Finland.
Description : This is a five-level mini-mod. Four of the levels are new - one of them is
"O'Boy" which was released in spring 2003 (the one in this release is an
updated version with new locations). There are also other minor changes such
as two new weapon models, some new art (some cool stuff), some sounds, con
changes & a snowfall effect.
Some things you should notice - "The New Los Angeles" is full of fans because
they're needed so we could breath, The Earth is red because of Global Warming
(to fight against the real Global Warming - join a hippie group! If you don't
we will all BURN to death!)
This TC has only a few locations where you can see crates - in fact the first
& the second level have only one crate and both of them has a meaning so they're
not there just for decoration. Third level has one location where there are crates
but I'd say the place is pretty logical for crates. No crates in level four.
There are maybe two crates in level five - for a logical reason. I'm saying this
because crates tend to be an easy way to decorate levels. It's not a bad way -
crates work well as fillers and they look pretty good when used well. However
there are better & more professional ways to add details.
Don't waste your ammo. The pistol (MP5/9600) is a bit more powerful than it used
to be (actually it should be as powerful as Chaingun Cannon but just slower)
Don't even think about killing those minibosses in "The Fourth Horseman".
You'll learn the storyline by playing the game. It's explained in viewscreens & elsewhere.
You're sent to terminate the leader of Sandt Industries
- Mikko Sandt (hey! This guy stole my name!) because your hippie friends don't like him
(mostly because he pollutes the Earth, causes Global Warming and is using other dimensions
to get new weapons & material which he then sells to the US world government to be used in wars).
M.Sandt has hired aliens to work for him as his security forces - M.Sandt heard about your
mission and sent his security forces to your apartment (you have just heard that M.Sandt
is visiting some EDF base which is near your apartment). And so it begins...

Shooter at large
I bought the AT-50 with the wobble attachment. Had no problem putting the components together, but realized I the cart would be handy. I purchased the cart shortly after the AT-50 was put together. Upon arrival I assembled the thrower to the cart and began having fun; hours of fun. The thrower has performed flawlessly. My son-in-laws and I have had endless hours of honing our shooting skills. Great product.

Great Buy
Has to be the best thrower I have bought. It was very easy to put together and I was ready to shoot inside of an hour. I bought the ATA AT-50 and turned right around and added the wobble kit and cart. The cart is a must unless you plan to mount it to something. My father and I have put somewhere around a thousand clays through the machine and have not had any problems. The foot release is another great buy if you don't always have a second shooter available. I can't say enough about this machine, except it is a must have.
Reviewed by: Eric Barnes from Shabbona IL.

the machine works like charm...easily set from basic throws to the most difficult.. throws the clays like the machines at the gun club....excellent value! I'd recommend a friend to buy this machine! Ive shot about 400 clays since i got it and am more happy with it every time i use it

Trap came timely and in great working order. Easy to put together, Mike was very helpful on the one question I had. Have gone through a few hundred clays no breakage. Highly recommend the wobble model keeps you on your toes.

I purchased the Wobble AT-50 a little over a month ago. I also ordered the trailer, cover and wireless remote. My son and I assembled it. We have used it three times, probably have thrown 600 birds through it, and thoroughly enjoy it. When my friend and his son tried it, they were quite impressed. Looking forward to years of enjoyment with it.
Reviewed by: Lee Cushman from Whitewater, WI.
on 7/21/2014
An absolutely fantastic trap. Very easy to set up and get running. In 10 cases of clays I have only had one broken clay and that was my fault loading the machine. The wobble option costs more but is well worth the cost and adds a lot of challenge, this is the perfect training tool for bird hunting or just busting clays.
Reviewed by: Keith Vollert from NC.

Wobble AT-50 review
Top quality American made machine. Well designed and well built. Mike was both knowledgeable and patient, which made him easy to deal with. I've only used it one afternoon for about three hours so far. My buddies and I were very impressed with this unit. I anticipate many years of trouble free use. I'm confident that these guys will be anxious to help with any questions/issues that might arise in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend this machine to anyone who is in the market.

Owner of Luhrs Certified Seed
I use to shoot a lot of trap in my high school and college years. Then I got away from it due to time and kids. Now that my kids are old enough to shoot - and they like shooting all types of guns - it was time to get back into shooting more trap. I have a buddy that has a competing brand auto thrower, it works OK, but the Wobble AT-50 blows his out of the water. The Atlas has significantly faster re-cycle and throws the rocks faster and further. First time out, we shot a full case of rocks (135) and had only one break. I think it was a faulty rock. This was a good buy for our family entertainment. Tom Luhrs Imperial, Nebraska

I bought the Wobble AT-50 about a month ago. I have since used it 5 times and thrown about 600 clays. It is a beautiful machine and works great. I also bought the trailer, and the extra foot release and the cover. The foot release is great when working by yourself or also using with a group. After researching trap machines I decided on the Atlas and could not be happier. It is well built and Mike was great on any assembly questions I had. I would highly recommend this machine to anyone.
Reviewed by: Ronald Callender from Aransas Pass TX.
on 1/29/2014
This machine is the only way to go for a family of five shooters. Assembled easily, easy to operate, looks good, and it's a lot of fun. The wobbler is great, you never know how the target is going to fly. We're planning to get a second one later on to have high and low houses for our own course.

2009 AT&T Cotton Bowl
Texas Tech (11-1) vs. Ole Miss (8-4)
Jan. 2, 2:00 p.m. ET, Fox
$3 million Location: Cotton Bowl, Dallas TX
2009 Cotton Player
Profiles, Histories, & More
$3 million Location:
Cotton Bowl, Dallas TX
It what has become the
consolation bowl for the Big 12
team left out in the cold, it's
a nice reward for the SEC. Will
the two representatives play
Texas Tech was never in the
discussion for the BCS and the
national title despite finishing
in a three-way tie with Texas
and Oklahoma for the Big 12
South title. The 65-21 loss to
the Sooners ended that debate,
but all is hardly lost for a
program that came up with its
biggest season ever. Head coach
Mike Leach is staying put,
there's a decent group of
prospects ready to step in next
year for QB Graham Harrell and
WR Michael Crabtree. This isn't
as much of a last hurrah for the
Red Raiders as it is a chance to
show off that it deserved to be
in the BCS, even though it
couldn't be because of the silly
rule that limits the number of
teams from one conference that
can get into a big money game.
While the Red Raiders might have
wished for something bigger and
better, this is a dream game for
an Ole Miss program that was
left for dead ever since Eli
Manning and the boys beat
Oklahoma State in the 2004
Cotton Bowl. In a strange quirk,
the SEC's four-game run of wins
ended last year with Arkansas
decided not to show up against
Missouri, who got jobbed even
more than this year's Texas
Tech, hurt by the loss of head
coach Houston Nutt.
Nutt and the Rebels took
advantage of a down year for the
SEC and a great group of
veterans put in place by the old
coaching staff to go 8-4 and
finish as the SEC's fourth best
team. The four wins all came by
seven points or fewer, and there
was the 31-30 win over Florida
that established the program as
a player again and set the tone
for the Nutt era. The Rebels got
better and better as the season
went on, winning the last five
games of the regular season
winning the final four games by
a combined score of 152 to 20.
It's Texas Tech's top offense
vs. the Ole Miss defense that
finished 14th in the
nation in both total and scoring
D. It's one of the Big 12's
shining stars against an SEC
also-ran, meaning a win for the
SEC would be a huge, huge
feather in the league's cap in a
year when it was supposedly fell
to the No. 2 spot in the
conference rankings, while Big
12 fans always make a big deal
out of their wins against the
SEC. But will it be a good game?
No one has played more exciting
bowl games than Texas Tech over
the last three seasons. The Red
Raiders lost 13-10 in the 2005
Cotton Bowl when Alabama's
defense came up huge, they
mounted the greatest comeback in
bowl history to beat Minnesota
in the 2006 Insight Bowl, and
after appearing to be left for
dead against Virginia in last
year's Gator Bowl, they came
back to win 31-28 in the final
moments. If Texas Tech needs
another late comeback to beat
Ole Miss, chalk it up as a win,
albeit it a moral one, for the
This isn't the best of matchups
considering the Ole Miss pass
defense is sketchy and Texas
Tech, well, likes to throw the
ball a whole bunch, but the
Rebels have surprised all season
long and they aren't going to be
fazed by playing a high-octane
offense. If you can beat Florida
in Gainesville, push Alabama in
Tuscaloosa, and blow out LSU in
Death Valley, you can hold up
against a Texas Tech attack that
sputtered a bit at times to
close out the year.
As good as the Red Raiders might
be, finishing fourth in the
nation in total offense, fourth
in scoring offense, and first in
passing, it took a big second
half to get by Baylor, they were
shut down by Oklahoma when the
game mattered, and were pushed
to overtime at home by Nebraska.
When the offense is rolling,
it's unstoppable, but when it
starts to sputter a bit it can
go cold for long stretches. Ole
Miss has to make it chilly, and
it has just enough athleticism,
and just enough confidence, to
do it.
Moved to January 2nd,
the Cotton Bowl will avoid the
New Year's Day glut of games and
will have the spotlight all to
itself. Arguably the most
prestigious of the non-BCS
games, this has the potential to
rise up and be even bigger once
it's played in the new Jerry
Jones' palace next year. For
now, this should be an
interesting watch and a good
contrast in styles.
Players to watch:
While everyone knows all about
Graham Harrell, this is a
chance for Jevan Snead to
get a bit of the national
spotlight. Snead was a big-time
recruit for Texas, but Colt
McCoy took the job by the horns
and the writing was on the wall.
For an Ole Miss program that
went from Eli Manning to barely
being able to throw the forward
pass, Snead has been a godsend.
After a bit of a shaky start
with 11 interceptions in the
first eight games, including a
four-pick game leading to the
loss to Vanderbilt, he threw
just one interception and 11
touchdown passes over the final
four games. While he's a runner,
he wasn't used much out of the
backfield netting just 62 yards
with three touchdowns. It'll be
his job to keep the chains
moving and to try to keep up
with the Texas Tech attack.
While Michael Crabtree is
only a sophomore, this is his
third year out of high school
making the two-time Biletnikoff
winner eligible for the NFL
draft if he chooses to take off.
While he didn't put up the sick
and twisted numbers of his
breakthrough 2007 campaign, when
he made 134 catches for 1,932
yards and 22 scores, he still
put up 93 grabs for 1,135 yards
and 18 scores. In other words,
his "down" year was a dream
career for many receivers.
However, he was held in relative
check over the final two games,
partly due to injury, catching
15 passes for 125 yards and no
touchdowns against Oklahoma and
Baylor, and while it might seem
absurd to be disappointed in
making so many grabs, he wasn't
quite the same. He caught nine
passes for 101 yards and a
touchdown last year's Gator
Bowl, and now he wants to close
out his amazing two year run
with a bigger bang.
Crabtree's college career will
forever be linked with Harrell,
who's playing the final game of
his phenomenal career. While
Crabtree might be the first wide
receiver taken in the 2009 NFL
Draft, the jury is out on
Harrell. Is he a system guy, and
how much tweaking will he need?
There's no question he can run a
fast-break, high-tempo offense,
and there's no questioning his
accuracy completing 70% of his
1,952 passes for 15,429 yards
and 130 touchdowns and just 32
interceptions. He also added 12
rushing scores. While playing in
the Cotton Bowl might be a bit
of a disappointment for a Texas
Tech team thinking BCS, don't
expect Harrell to come out flat.
After being left out of the fun
among the Heisman finalists,
this is his final shot to show
the world that he deserved to be
considered every bit the
quarterback that Sam Bradford,
Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy were
this season.
The key to slowing down Harrell
and Crabtree will be getting
into the backfield, and no one
does it as well as Ole Miss.
Former head coach Ed Orgeron
left the cupboard stocked with
tremendous defensive line talent
led by All-SEC star Peria
Jerry, who finished second
on the team in sacks. An
unstoppable force on the inside,
his emergence into a superstar
opened things up for the rest of
the line including Greg Hardy.
The former basketball player
came up with ten sacks last year
and made 8.5 this year despite
missing four games hurt. Jerry
and Hardy helped Ole Miss lead
the nation in tackles for loss
(combining for 26.5) and finish
fifth in sacks.
Texas Tech will win if...
Harrell can get rid of the ball
in a hurry. The Ole Miss
defensive front is too good to
run on consistently, and it's
going to pin its ears back to
get into the backfield from all
four spots. Harrell is used to
being pressured, everyone tries
to do the same thing, but he
only faced two defensive lines
remotely as good as this one.
Texas lost all-star DE Brian
Orakpo and didn't generate too
much in the way of pressure from
then on, and Oklahoma dominated
early before taking its foot off
the gas in the second half.
Harrell will get his yards, but
the Tech offense is at its best
when Harrell is able to find his
third and fourth option on a
regular basis, or if he's able
to set his feet, step up, and
fire to his No. 1 option. He's
not going to have that kind of
time, so he'll have to speed up
his pre-snap reads and his
receivers will have to make more
plays than normal on the move.
Ole Miss will win if...
forces turnovers. That's far,
far easier said than done
against a Texas Tech offense
that rarely shoots itself in the
foot. It's not a coincidence
that the five-game winning
streak kicked in when the
secondary started making picks.
The Rebels intercepted four
passes over the first seven
games and took it away ten times
in the final five. Oddly enough,
the defense didn't force a
fumble over the finishing kick
after coming up with seven in
the first seven games. On the
flip side, in the loss to Wake
Forest: 5 turnovers. In the loss
to Vanderbilt: 2 fumbles. Ole
Miss turned it over three times
against Alabama and three times
against South Carolina. Got all
that? It's this simple. Ole Miss
turned it over 13 times in the
four losses and nine times in
the eight wins. Win the turnover
margin; have a shot at pulling
off the upset.
What will happen:
This is a strange, interesting
matchup, not unlike the 2006
game when Alabama, led by Mike
Shula, came up with a stunning
defensive performance to keep
the Red Raider offense in check.
But this Texas Tech team is far
better, and while Ole Miss is
strong enough defensively from
keeping this from being a
runaway blowout, there isn't
enough offense in the bag to
keep up once Harrell starts
rolling. The Heisman snub was
enough to give the Red Raider
just enough edge to get the win.
Line: Texas Tech -5.5
... CFN Prediction:
Texas Tech 38 … Ole Miss 30

Great work. Thanks for sharing.
Just amazing.
So, about how many hours do you think you have in that?
Don't even want to guess. It is kind of like asking "How many hours do you have invested in the last steelhead you caught?" It would take the fun out of it.
I see your point.
Nice looking project.
A fantastic project, very nice results Inspirational to those of us that are planning on making our own reels. I have my CNC lathe set up and working nicely, still need the mill or a 3rd axis mounted on my cross-slide so I can do some limited milling on my lathe...
Will R. Everett, WA.
Finished another one.
Very nice work again! I like the "knurl" (?) on the outside edges and around the center of the backing plate and button plate. You are doing some fine work. How about some details, it's hard to estimate from the picture but it looks to be about 3" across the back.
Thanks Mike. This reel has a 3.5" frame with a 3" spool. the spool has an 1.25" diameter hub and is 1" wide. I built a 6 weight Graphite rod from a Seivers Tiger Eye Blank for a guy last fall as a present to his wife. It has brass guides and reel seat hardware with bronze colored wraps. I built this reel for that rod. Should look quite nice together. If I get a chance I will take a picture of the reel on the rod.
Nice! I think the Tiger Eye Rods are nice, I built a 6' 2wt a number of years ago that was a real dart tosser. Love that root beer color of the blanks.
Finished a nice project today. A guy brought me a nice older Scott rod that had the reel seat buggered up from trying to fit reels that did not have a good fit between the seat and the reel feet that he had been using. i rebuilt the reel seat and built him a new reel (with a foot that fits properly). He uses the Rod for Cutties in North Idaho, so I put a click/pawl check and opened up the bottom of the frame for palming the spool.
Awesome, love the look of these reels.
Excelente, tu trabajo mis felicitaciones....
Saluda cordialmente HBages
Wow those are amazing! I wish I has the patience to learn and create something that fantastic....
That is Art!
The color of your dark red reel is similar to a South Bend 1185 that I have. As you can see in the photos its a perfect style reel.

Armed Forces deserve praise every day
Published at 11:28, Tuesday, 03 July 2012
There wasn't an Armed Forces Day when I was at school. And for the life in me, I can't imagine why.
We went to church for Remembrance, wore poppies for servicemen and women who had died, stood silently at local war memorials with widows and mothers who cried.
But we were never encouraged to think deeply about men and women who had chosen to serve their country in the armed forces – as peacekeepers, defenders, protectors and riskers of lives far away from home.
Of course, in one sense, that goes without saying. What we know as Armed Forces Day now has only been in existence for four years.
During the weekend just passed, young people – along with their elders – have joined servicemen and women and veterans of all military forces in considered thought of the purpose of duty and the gratitude owed to those who selflessly embrace it.
That didn't used to happen. Oddly enough, in those apparently halcyon grammar school days, so fondly favoured by education secretary Michael Gove, you might have expected pride in our armed forces to have been high on any young person's learning agenda.
In the name of patriotism, old fashioned values, Great British standards of democracy and decency.
It wasn't as though we weren't aware of what was happening in Northern Ireland and even farther afield, where men and women of service and duty were risking life and limb to safeguard our freedoms.
It wasn't as though we didn't know how our fathers and grandfathers had served various campaigns in two world wars and – in my own father's case – in the Middle East.
But open discussion of war and the work of UK armed forces around the world, promoting peace, delivering aid, tackling drug smugglers, providing security and fighting terrorism were shied away from.
It was as if all that existed in a different world, a parallel universe. A world unlikely to touch our own – God willing. Even though it did. Constantly.
Perhaps accusations of glorification of war were feared. Maybe it was felt pretty little heads should be kept free of thoughts of fighting.
More likely, the real detail of duty's awesome burden; full understanding of service people's enormous gift to country and population, was deliberately hidden from young people in what was erroneously referred to as peacetime. Thank God that has changed.
Now, with media concentration so closely focused on the courage and sacrifice of our armed forces, there is no avoiding consideration of those who choose to offer their all to their country.
That's precisely as it should always have been. There never was a peacetime – not for those who volunteered to give us one; who fought and died to offer hope of one.
To them all we owe not one annual Armed Forces Day of thought and thanks, not one weekend a year of parading and prayer.
We owe continuous and heartfelt gratitude for their sacrifice and service, in our name and for our benefit.

Olympic swim star Stephanie Rice lands TV gig with Nine
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- January 24, 2013
EVEN the model good looks and world-beating athletic ability haven't been enough to spare Olympic swim star Stephanie Rice an ugly introduction to life in the spotlight.
But two years after she wept through a public apology for calling the Springboks rugby team "faggots'' in an errant Twitter posting, Rice says she considers the national scolding which followed as one of the best things to ever happen to her.
A more mature Rice said yesterday she had "turned a corner'' in the wake of the controversy, which has now become the template for the Australian Olympic Committee's social media training.
The 24-year-old Beijing gold medallist was devastated by the offense her homophobic slur caused but she says it set her on a path to changing the public's perception of her as a brattish party girl.
"If I could have had things over I would have changed it, but I learned so much from the experience I am kind of glad that it happened. I gave the footage to the AOC and they now show it at all their briefings for Olympians because, as we realised in London, social media can be such a big tool and also something they try to pull you back from.''

Printable Bracket | Tournament Central
STILLWATER-- Oklahoma State's basketball team has received an at-large bid into the 2014 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championships, it was announced Sunday evening. The Cowboys are the No. 9 seed in the West Region and travel to San Diego, Calif., to face eighth-seeded Gonzaga in the second round of the tournament on Friday, March 21.
OSU is making its 26th appearance in the NCAA Tournament, dating back to 1945. It is the Cowboys' second-straight tournament, and the 16th in the past 24 seasons. Oklahoma State is 38-24 all-time in the NCAA Tournament, and has made 14 Sweet 16s, 11 Elite Eights, six Final Fours and has won two national championships. This marks the fourth NCAA Tournament appearance under Travis Ford, who is in his sixth season as head coach of the Cowboys.
Winners of five of their last seven games, the Cowboys enter the Big Dance with a 21-12 overall record that includes a 5-2 mark at neutral sites. OSU beat five teams that are included in this year's NCAA field, highlighted by a 72-65 triumph over Kansas on March 1. Of OSU's 12 losses, 11 came at the hands of teams included in the NCAA Tournament bracket.
Oklahoma State and Gonzaga met most recently on Dec. 31, 2012, when the 10th-ranked Zags defeated No. 22 OSU, 69-68, in Stillwater. Should the Cowboys defeat the Bulldogs Friday, their third-round matchup would be against either top-seeded Arizona or Weber State on Sunday.
Quotes from Oklahoma State head coach Travis Ford following the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship bracket announcement:
On his initial reaction to being matched up against Gonzaga
"Obviously, we have a lot of respect for Gonzaga. Mark Few does a great job. We're a little familiar with them. Both teams are very similar to what they had last year, in regards to personnel. Neither team lost a whole lot, so we're pretty familiar with each other."
On how last year's game affects the players from a motivation standpoint
"I don't know. It goes both ways. I don't think our team is getting caught up in that, other than we just know the personnel. We won't put too much stock into that game because we're a different team, and so are they. We won't necessarily get too caught up in how that game was played."
On choosing to not have CBS do a live look-in to OSU's watch party
"It was more of a personal time. We had all of our families and people within our basketball family there, together, discussing the game and what will happen from this point forward without all the chaos there. It was just a different approach and I thought it was better for this basketball team."
On the players' reaction to seeing their matchup
"They were excited, but they would have been excited no matter what name popped up. They know Gonzaga and have respect for that program. I think having the familiarity with Gonzaga factors in to the excitement a little bit."
On where the team was seeded, and looking at the rest of the West Region
"I thought we would be an eight or nine seed. That didn't surprise me. Of course you look at who else is in your bracket, no question. We all know all that matters is the next game, but every coach would tell you they look through their bracket, all the brackets and the stretches within your bracket. However, we have our hands full with our first game. We need to worry about game No. 1 on Friday, and that's it. It's a great challenge. Gonzaga won 28 games, and any time you do that, you've had a great year. They've won a lot of games lately and just beat a great BYU team."
On Gonzaga's personnel
"They're big. Two of their top three scorers are at the four and the five (positions). Kevin Pangos is their second-leading scorer, and he can shoot it. Not only that, but he can create his own shot. He is one of the better players in America. Gary Bell had a great game last year, here in Gallagher-Iba (Arena), and David Stockton is a really good point guard. We know their starting five pretty well. We'll watch film and get to know the other guys better, but their starting five all played a significant role in last year's game.
On whether he will break down last year's game as part of his preparation
"I'm sure I'll go back and look at it, eventually. It won't be one of the first things I do. We'll look at their most recent games. They played a couple Big 12 teams, so I'll go look at those, even though they were a while back just because I know how Kansas State and West Virginia play. I can get some ideas there. We have a lot of time between now and Friday, so I'll watch every game they have played, as well as last year's game here.
On the team's level of confidence coming off the Big 12 Championship
"I think we're playing well. Over the last seven games, I think we have played good basketball. We came up short in two overtime games, but we have some good games lately and played well. There are areas we have to get better in, and do so quickly. We brought the guys in for their first practice since the Kansas game, and it was a good practice. The guys had a lot of spirit. It wasn't a long practice, but the guys were focused."
On playing Friday instead of Thursday
"That's good. We have a trip out west, so we have time to adjust, but as I told the team, you can't worry about things you can't control. You can't worry about where you're going, who you're playing, or what time the game is. Let's worry about the things we can control. We play Friday, so we'll head out Wednesday. That will give us plenty of time to get out there, rest up and get ready. We don't know what time the game is, but once we find out, we'll adjust to it. We'll get out there and go through the routine of having our open practices and things like that. At this time last year, we didn't have anyone who had played an NCAA Tournament game, so hopefully with last year's experience, our guys will have a better understanding of what to expect."
Sophomore guard Phil Forte
On his excitement level
"This time of year, if you're a basketball fan, player or coach, you're really excited. This is a fun time. We're excited. We're just blessed to be in the situation we're in."
On the matchup with Gonzaga
"We played them last year and lost a close game here at home. We know that they're well coached. Mark Few is one of the best coaches in the country. Gonzaga is one of the best programs, year-in and year-out. We know that we have our hands full in the first round. They're a very well-coached team with great players. It will be an interesting matchup for sure."
On if the disappointment from last year's tournament loss fuels the team
"It (fuels us) a lot. It was a disappointment to be knocked out early in the first round. We didn't play our game and we felt like we didn't go out the way that we wanted to. It left a bitter taste in our mouth and now we're here a year later with a chance to redeem ourselves."
On if there is a sense of urgency
"I think so. If you can't get motivated this time of year to play your best basketball, then you don't deserve to be playing. I think that we know how hard it is to win a game in the NCAA Tournament now with that experience we had last year. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we know how important it is for us to bring our A-game."
Sophomore forward Kamari Murphy
On the team's initial reaction to being included in the NCAA Tournament
"We're excited to go to California again. Another NCAA appearance is wonderful for us, but our mindset is that it's a new season. We get to start over and we want to start strong. Being back in the tournament is amazing."
On the match-up with Gonzaga
"We've played them before. They beat us here last year, so it's almost like a rivalry game now. That should be interesting."
On the post players he will face from Gonzaga
"Gonzaga usually has good big men. Last year we had to deal with (Kelly) Olynyk. The guys they have now didn't start last year, but played significant minutes. They are workhorses and it will be a challenge for those of us playing down low, but we will play our game — they have to guard us, too. Our quickness and speed are great for us. It will be an interesting match up."
On his individual performance in recent games
"The Big 12 Tournament wasn't good for me. I got in foul trouble and stuff like that, but going into the tournament, I was playing good basketball, so the confidence is still there. The guys still believe in me, so like I said, this tournament will be a fresh start."
Sophomore guard Marcus Smart
On his initial reaction to seeing Oklahoma State's name pop onto the screen during the selection show
"I was excited, because for quite a while we were on the bubble. We were finally able to string together some wins, winning five of our last seven. It felt good to see our name pop up there."
On how this tournament will impact his legacy at Oklahoma State
"I'm not really worried about that. I'm just focused on this team right now. I feel like I've made a pretty good mark on Oklahoma State, but that's not my main focus."
On whether he paid attention to post-tournament coverage
"I decided to stay away from it. I just wanted to clear my head. We can't lose sight of what we have to do on Friday against Gonzaga, which is a great team with a great coach, Mark Few, who I've been lucky enough to work with in the past on the U.S. team. I know how great of a coach he is. He will have his guys ready, so we need to be ready."
On matching up with Gonzaga's backcourt
"They are strong, mentally and physically. I remember that from last year's game. They really controlled the game for their team. We have a big deal on our hands with those guards, because they're nothing to play with. Everyone knows if you have good guard play, you can do damage in the tournament."
Senior guard Markel Brown
On Gonzaga
"We haven't started (looking at film) just yet. We're going to start in a few minutes. As far as what I saw when I've watched them on TV, they've got some good bigs and they're surrounded by a lot of good guards. I haven't watched too much on them yet, but it looks like they're a really good team."
On this being his final NCAA Tournament
"It's exciting because, for the most part, everybody on this team has NCAA experience. We all know what to expect. We all know that it's a win or go home environment, so I think that everyone is embracing it and stepping up to the challenge."
On how the team benefitted from playing in the tournament last season
"We're not going to be as surprised as we were last time. We know that it's a business. We know that it's win or go home. Like I said, almost everyone on this team has been there before, so we're just going to go in there with a business-type (attitude) and play to win."
On if this game has a different feel with it being the third time he's played Gonzaga
"Yeah, it gives it a different feel. We've had a chance to play against them, as they have had against us. We know what they're going to do and they know what we're going to do. At this time of the year, we just want to extend our season and continue to go out there, play hard and hopefully get a win."

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Facing an 0-3 deficit to the surging San Antonio Spurs, the Los Angeles Lakers probably will run out of games in their season before they run out of healthy players.
Injuries mount as Lakers face elimination by Spurs
But it'll be close.
Coach Mike D'Antoni said Metta World Peace won't play in Game 4 of their first-round series Sunday when the Lakers attempt to avoid their earliest playoff exit since 2007. That's going to be tough with a starting lineup including Earl Clark, Andrew Goudelock and Darius Morris facing Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and the playoff-tested Spurs.
The Lakers might laugh at the absurdity of their injury problems if this dire situation wasn't such a crushing disappointment for a team that began the season with championship aspirations. Instead, they expressed as much plausible optimism as possible after Saturday's practice at their quiet training complex.
"Despite all the injuries, as a team we've stayed together," said a solemn Dwight Howard, who is eligible for free agency after the season. "When most teams would fall apart and blame each other and point a finger, we've stayed together, become a closer team throughout all the adversity."
San Antonio handed the Lakers their biggest home playoff defeat in franchise history in Game 3. After the 31-point blowout put the series into such stark terms on a gorgeous day in Southern California, both clubs had to avoid the natural inclination to look ahead — the Spurs to the second round, and the Lakers to summer.
The Spurs realize they're thought to be the new favorite to come out of the West after Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook was ruled out for the postseason. Just don't expect Duncan, Parker or coach Gregg Popovich even to dignify such speculation by thinking beyond Sunday.
"Hopefully we can close this series out on Sunday and give our team some time to rest, get everybody healthy again," Duncan told reporters after practice at Santa Monica Community College.
And the Spurs are hurting, too: They'll be without starting center Tiago Splitter, who sprained his left ankle in Game 3, and Boris Diaw still isn't ready to return from a back injury. Although Splitter doesn't score much, his solid defense could be missed against Howard and Pau Gasol.
"I think it's very important for us as a team to finish (Sunday)," said Parker, who was fine after World Peace scratched his eye in Game 3. "Especially with Tiago being hurt now, and waiting for Boris to get back — me, Manu (Ginobili), T.D., we can always use some rest."
Splitter's absence will give more minutes to backups DeJuan Blair and Matt Bonner, and it might give a faint hope to the Lakers, whose low-post stars have played fairly well: Howard had 25 points and 11 rebounds in Game 3, and Gasol had a triple-double.

Students from Legend Elementary School board their bus home Tuesday afternoon. A new state law could allow schools to sell advertising on the outside of school buses.
- Filed Under
NEWARK -- Cash-strapped school districts could have the right to sell advertising on the outside of school buses under a law proposed last week.
State Sen. Joe Schiavoni, D-Canfield, said anything that can help a school buy a new computer or textbooks or not lay off a teacher is a positive, with school districts facing less revenue.
However, a national interest group is fighting the proposal in Ohio and several other states, claiming the small revenue boost is not worth the exploitation of captive audience of students. ...

Prairie Pothole Region:
At the Current Pace of Acquisitions, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Is Unlikely to Achieve Its Habitat Protection Goals for Migratory Birds
GAO-07-1093: Published: Sep 27, 2007. Publicly Released: Sep 27, 2007.

The 64-million-acre Prairie Pothole Region in the north-central United States provides breeding grounds for over 60 percent of key migratory bird species in the United States. During much of the 20th century, the draining of wetlands and the conversion of prairie to cropland has reduced bird habitat. Under the Small Wetlands Acquisition Program, the Department of the Interior's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the Service) aims to sustain remaining migratory bird populations by permanently protecting high-priority habitat. Some habitat is temporarily protected under the Department of Agriculture's Conservation Reserve Program. In this context, GAO examined (1) the status of the Service's acquisition program in the region, (2) the Service's habitat protection goals for the region, and (3) challenges to achieving these goals. To answer these objectives, GAO examined Service land acquisition data and projected rates of habitat loss.
Since the inception of the Small Wetlands Acquisition Program in the late 1950s, the Service has acquired and permanently protected about 3 million acres of wetlands and grasslands in the Prairie Pothole Region, primarily using Migratory Bird Conservation Funds. The Service has purchased outright almost 700,000 acres and acquired permanent conservation easements on more than 2.3 million acres that are privately owned. To sustain bird populations in the region, the Service's goal is to acquire and permanently protect as much as possible of an additional 12 million acres of "high-priority" habitat--at-risk acreage capable of supporting a high number of breeding duck pairs per square mile. The goal acreage consists of 1.4 million acres of wetlands and 10.4 million acres of grasslands. According to the Service, achieving this goal is necessary to sustain the region's current population of 4.2 million breeding duck pairs and to ensure that enough habitat is maintained during wet years, when duck populations boom. At the current pace of acquisitions, it could take the Service around 150 years and billions of dollars to acquire its 12 million goal acres. Some emerging market forces, however, suggest that the Service may have only several decades before most of its goal acreage is converted to agricultural uses. The pace of acquisitions could be increased marginally by using existing funds more efficiently or substantially by providing additional resources. The Service has purchased some expensive habitat in South Dakota. On the basis of GAO's analysis, the Service could have acquired about an additional 8,500 acres of high-priority habitat in South Dakota in fiscal year 2006, over and above the 16,169 acres that it did acquire, by more effectively targeting low-cost, high-priority habitat. However, with about $17 million per year for land acquisitions in the Prairie Pothole Region, the Service's limited resources pose a substantial challenge. Another way to address this challenge is to explore additional resource alternatives, such as increasing the price of the federal Duck Stamp (these funds are placed in the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund), reauthorizing a wetlands loan, or providing additional funds from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Each of these alternatives would require congressional action, such as H.R. 2735 and S. 272, which have been introduced in the 110th Congress.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In April 2009, H.R. 1916 was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources. This bill was proposed to amend the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp Act to provide for a revised schedule of price increases for the "Duck Stamp." According to committee staff, GAO's report entitled, "Prairie Pothole Region: At the Current Pace of Acquisitions, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Is Unlikely to Achieve Its Habitat Protection Goals for Migratory Birds" was one of the key sources of information in drafting the bill.
Matter: Determining the resource level that is appropriate to devote to acquiring migratory bird habitat in the Prairie Pothole Region is a policy decision that rests with Congress and the President. How much time the Service has to protect this high-priority habitat will largely depend on how much of the land stays temporarily protected by Agriculture conservation programs. The two legislative proposals that have been introduced in the 110th Congress would provide the Service with hundreds of millions of additional resources for land acquisitions in the region. However, several billion dollars will likely be needed for the Service to achieve its goal. We present this information to Congress as it deliberates whether and to what extent additional resources should be provided to the Service to acquire high-priority habitat in the Prairie Pothole Region. Congress may wish to consider this information as it debates H.R. 2735, regarding whether and to what extent the price of the Duck Stamp should be increased; S. 272, regarding whether and to what extent to reauthorize a wetlands acquisition loan; and whether and to what extent additional funds may need to be provided from the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) region 6 office developed guidance that addresses the criteria identified in the GAO findings and demonstrates how FWS will continue to maximize available funding to acquire land with the lowest cost but highest biological value. This guidance has been incorporated into the FWS easement manual for use in FY 2010.
Recommendation: To help ensure that the Service acquires as much high-priority habitat as possible with its available funds, the Secretary of the Interior should direct the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to fully integrate the Service's recently developed scientific models with consideration of land prices, with the goal of maximizing the acquisition of the least expensive high-priority habitat when deciding which lands to acquire in the Prairie Pothole Region, while balancing that goal with the continued need to acquire high-priority habitat throughout the region.
