NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma State is all Lawrence Evitt has known. It's the school the junior running back from Wagoner, Okla., grew up around and his dream has always been to be a Cowboy.
But that dream might have taken a different direction last weekend. Evitt, a virtual unknown heading into the season, hasn't really focused on recruiting. He has been all about getting his grades up and maintaining his GPA.
But his play on the field has spoken volumes. And coaches have been paying attention, especially Oklahoma running backs coach Cale Gundy.

Recent Puerto Escondido reviews
"I stayed in the house with my family for a week. We had a fantastic time. The house is pristine, the rooms are open and large, bathrooms are new, the living room is inviting and the pool facing the ocean is priceless. The maids were extremely helpful and easygoing and they prepared the best ceviche I've ever tried. You basically have the beach for yourself and amazing surfing spots nearby. I recommend this property whether you are looking for a relaxing week to disconnect or an active getaway."Guest: Matt Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: May 15, 2015View listing
"We stayed in the house for one week with six persons and I have to say that it's just perfect. It is beautiful decorated and very complete in equipment. The roof top has an insane view of the whole beach and you see the surf from there. Also the house is very clean and the rooms are very big. We can highly recommend this property and definitely trying to come back as soon as possible!!"Guest: Mathias E. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: July 7, 2015View listing
"Tuvimos ocasión de conocer Puerto Escondido en Semana Santa, donde disfrutamos de las mejores vacaciones de nuestra vida alojándonos en Casa Inspiración. Ubicada a orillas del Pacífico mexicano, allí donde las olas rompen fuerte, las tortugas anidan en la arena y los atardeceres son eternos, la experiencia que supone vivir este sueño se hace, en el mejor de los sentidos, difícil de explicar. La amabilidad de los dueños, la hospitalidad y profesionalidad del servicio, la paz que se respira y la magia del lugar, unido a la extrema belleza y nivel de detalle en cuanto a todo lo que engloba la casa se refiere, hace de este sitio un paraíso virgen y todavía perdido imposible de olvidar… Literalmente, es el cielo en La Tierra, y cuando lo dejes solo querrás volver. Gracias de todo corazón por la magia de aquellos días!"Guest: Alvaro Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: June 8, 2015View listing
"Delightful home two lots up from the beach. The owners are very easy to deal with, and answered any questions we had. The main living area of the home is small, but we were outside almost all the time, enjoying the lanai by the beautiful pool, as well as the roof top deck. Comfortable beds in the bedroom, and nice big thick towels for the bath and beach made us feel at home. The kitchen is well equipped, and there is also laundry facilities. Great location for walking the beach, both to the main area of Zicatela, as well as La Punta. We found a car helpful for getting groceries, as well as exploring the surrounding area. There is a secure covered area to keep your car. The home is kept spotless by Eva, the housekeeper, and the grounds and pool are very well maintained. We would recommend this excellent property to anyone."Guest: Mary and Rick Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: February 27, 2015View listing

Vintage: 2012
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Varietal: Sangiovese
In its native Italy, Sangiovese is the most widely planted red grape varietal, and has been for several centuries now. It has since spread to several other countries around the world, but will probably always been most readily associated with the rolling hillscapes of Tuscany. It isn't difficult to understand why it is so revered; alone, in single variety bottles, young Sangiovese is lively, full of fresh summer fruits flavors and beautifully drinkable in its lightness. When aged, it has the special ability to soak up the oak and vanilla or chestnut flavors from the barrel, and delights wine drinkers with its complexity and many layers of character. However, the grape does occasionally cause some difficulty for wine makers, as it is one which holds a high acidity, whilst being light on tannins and body. As such, wine makers have experimented greatly with the Sangiovese grapes, from harvesting very low yields to blending it and aging it in different ways in order to make the most of its unique properties. The results are rarely short of spectacular, and Sangiovese is widely recognized as a grape varietal to look out for if you are searching for quality.
Region: Tuscany
All over the stunning region of Tuscany in central Italy, you'll see rolling hills covered in green, healthy grapevines. This region is currently Italy's third largest producer of wines, but interestingly wineries here are generally happy with lower yields holding higher quality grapes, believing that they have a responsibility to uphold the excellent reputation of Tuscany, rather than let it slip into 'quantity over quality' wine-making as it did in the mid twentieth century. The region has a difficult soil type to work with, but the excellent climate and generations of expertise more than make up for this problem. Most commonly, Tuscan vintners grow Sangiovese and Vernaccia varietal grapes, although more and more varietals are being planted nowadays in order to produce other high quality wine styles.
Country: Italy
It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.

Home > Press > Nanoporous Particles Deliver Novel Molecular Therapies to Tumors
Using nanoporous silicon particles, two teams of investigators have created drug delivery vehicles capable of ferrying labile molecular therapies deep into the body. Both groups believe their new drug delivery vehicles create new opportunities for developing innovative anticancer therapies.
Mauro Ferrari, of the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston, led a research team aiming to develop new methods of delivering therapeutic small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules to tumors. He and his colleagues published their results of their studies in the journal Cancer Research. Karl Erik Hellstrom, of the University of Washington, and Jun Liu and Chenghong Lei, both of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), led the research group developing methods for delivering therapeutic antibodies to tumors. Their research was published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Dr. Ferrari is the principal investigator of one of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Physical Sciences in Oncology Centers, and he played a seminal role in establishing the NCI's Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer.
siRNA is promising approach to anticancer therapy, and one anticancer siRNA molecule is now in clinical trials in humans (*). However, siRNA molecules are rapidly degraded in the body, so delivering them to tumors requires help.
Dr. Ferrari's team approached this problem by first encapsulating siRNA molecules in lipid-based nanoparticles. Earlier work by his team had already demonstrated that these lipid nanoparticles could deliver siRNA molecules to tumors, but achieving a therapeutic effect in tumor-bearing mice required twice-weekly injections for many weeks. To reduce the number of injections needed, Dr. Ferrari and his colleagues decided to load their nanoparticle-siRNA construct into the pores of biocompatible nanoporous silicon particles.They then injected their drug delivery vehicle into mice with human ovarian tumors.
When the researchers examined the mice three weeks later, the researchers found that tumors had shrunken markedly and that the siRNA agent was still exerting its biological effect. The investigators also found that toxicities were minimal or non-existent.
Meanwhile, the University of Washington-PNNL team used nanoporous silicon to entrap large numbers of monoclonal antibodies that target a specific tumor-associated protein known as CTLA-4. Monoclonal antibodies targeting CTLA-4 have been shown to produce marked antitumor effects in human clinical trials, but therapeutic levels of this antibody can trigger unwanted autoimmune reactions and other severe side effects. Drs. Hellstrom, Liu, and Lei and their collaborators reasoned that nanoporous silicon particles could act as a reservoir that would maintain therapeutic levels of antibody right at the tumor site while reducing the overall amount of antibody circulating freely in the body.
To test their hypothesis, the investigators injected their construct directly into melanomas growing in mice. As a control, a second set of mice received CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies injected into the peritoneal cavity. Results of this experiment showed that CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies delivered using nanoporous silicon produced a month-long suppression of tumor growth with no toxicity, while CTLA-4 antibodies alone had little effect on tumor growth. The first group of animals also lived far longer than the second group.
This work on siRNA is detailed in a paper titled, "Sustained Small Interfering RNA Delivery by Mesoporous Silicon Particles." Investigators from the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Rice University, Baylor College of Medicine, University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Puerto Rico Comprehensive Cancer Center also participated in this study. An abstract of this paper is available at the journal's Web site.

Transcript of "Difficulties With Changing To A Lean Culture Part 10 By Mike Thelen"
1. Difficulties with Changing to a Lean Culture: Part X Lean is what, again? Where will the "human-side" of Lean hit you? Mike Thelen discusses the challenge of defining Lean in Part X. As is the case with any Lean implementation in a Traditional environment, culture (or more specifically culture change) will be the most difficult obstacle to success. While a company can hire consultants, develop work teams, and even begin Lean initiatives, if the company only "talks the talk", the initiative soon becomes just that, talk. How can culture be changed when the "talk" is unclear? In a recent online discussion among Lean practitioners, an individual asked a seemingly simple question, "What is Lean?" That simple question sparked numerous e-mails and days of conversation, but never achieved a definition of Lean that all could agree with. Since an international group of Lean-minded individuals could not effectively offer a definition encompassing all aspects that all participants could agree to, any attempt at a description is fair game! After spending too much time contemplating this very question, it is time to share an attempt. Lean is the continual pursuit of the ideal state, using the Deming Cycle, to achieve customer satisfaction while achieving respect for people throughout an organization. Why is this Lean? Lets break down the elements of the description and define them further. Continual pursuit Lean organizations are constantly evolving. They are constantly learning, growing and improving. This is the reason the Toyota of this decade is not the same Toyoda of the 1990s, 1970s or 1950s. This drive forces an organization into the future. The goal is to never be idle, never be satisfied. Ideal State What is the Ideal State? It is the utopia of manufacturing existence. The Ideal State breaks down into several components. Below are those components, described in more detail: • On Demand – Building only what the customer wants, when the customer wants it. Lean defines this as sell one-make one, which can be pushed further into the supply chain as sell one-make one-buy one. • Defect Free – Not only to deliver products defect free to the paying customer, but also to deliver products defect free from one process to the next. • 1 x 1 – Single-piece flow. Sounds simple, but is it really? The ideal state is to build one by one, from process to process, from raw material to finished product. • No Waste – Elimination of all waste in a system. That waste is defined as Mura, Muri and Muda. o Mura – Unevenness in the system, possibly requiring production leveling o Muri – Overburden on the operator or employee, often requiring standardized work and defined conditions (highly defined work) th o Muda – Defined further as the 7 wastes (now including an 8 waste) 1) Transportation 2) Inventory 3) Motion 4) Waiting 5) Overproduction 6) Over-processing 7) Defects 8) Underutilized Employees • Immediate Response – Having open and immediate communication between supplier and customer, both internal and external, to provide feedback and improvement. • Safely – Safety should always be a priority in any environment. Deming Cycle The Deming Cycle is also known as Plan-Do-Check-Act or PDCA for short. It is the response process to a customer order. Once the order is received, a PLAN is developed and initiated. The manufacturing
process is DOne. CHECKs are built into the system to verify that customer satisfaction is achieved throughout the process. ACTions are taken to correct any deficiencies noted by the checks. Deming designed this model from experiences with Dr. Walter Shewhart, who designed the Shewhart Cycle (Plan-Do-Study-Act or PDSA). These concepts are similar to the Scientific Method, often identified as PCSAM or Problem-Cause-Solution-Action-Measure. This 'theme' can be associated with an "A3", as explained in a previous article. Customer Who is the customer? In a Lean system, there are four customers. Each has equal significance, but for different reasons. It is the goal of a Lean organization to satisfy each customer, without sacrificing any of the others. Can organizations identify their four customers? Customers are defined as (in no order): • External/Internal Customers: The actual purchaser of the product, as well as each person who receives the product and adds value to it. • Employees: Every individual who is compensated for performing a function in the organization. • Shareholders: Any person, company or other institution that owns at least one share in a company. • Community: The environment or locale where an organization operates and interacts with others. Respect for People Jim Womack once wrote, "For years I've visited companies where 'respect for people' is a core element of the corporate philosophy. Therefore, I've asked managers in many companies a simple question. 'How do you show respect?' I have usually heard that employees should be treated fairly, given clear goals, trusted to achieve them in the best way, and held to account for results. For example, 'We hire smart people, we give them great latitude in how they do their work because we trust them, and we hold them to objective measures of performance. That's respect for people.' Mr. Womack then challenged Toyota managers with the same question. Their definition showed the gap between Traditional and Lean management. In a Lean environment, management shows respect through cooperative problem solving. Employees and support staff discuss the problem, reach root cause(s) – gathering information on the floor (Gemba), determine and evaluate possible solutions and implement the best solution. Most importantly, there is a cooperative discussion on how to measure the solution to verify when the problem has been resolved. This joint effort builds unity and community in the workplace. All people involved understand that the best solutions most often come from participative groups, not individual ideas. I recall reading about the last layoff at Toyota, in the 1950s. Mr. Toyoda (Kiichiro) asked the workforce for and received 1500 volunteers for the layoffs. He then resigned as head of Toyota, as he viewed the need for layoff as his failure to lead the organization correctly. What is lean, really? Does this define Lean effectively? Perhaps it does. Will everyone who reads this agree? Doubtful, but hopefully it will make each reader dig deeper into Lean and what it really means. The more we read, the more we research, the more we participate…the more we learn and the more we improve. Lean is a tough theory to describe, which might explain why Lean initiatives are so tough to implement. There is no magic pill for Lean initiatives. The Lean process requires time, commitment, and determination. Companies that cannot envision the long-term commitment to Lean, and only use the tools for short-term gain, will achieve some limited success. However, without the culture supporting those tools, the Lean initiative will fail, becoming the "flavor of the week" that everyone knew would not last. An environment where people have to think brings with it wisdom, and this wisdom brings with it kaizen [continuous improvement]. ~Teruyuki Minoura Mike Thelen is Lean Facilitator at Aberdeen, SD based Hub City, Inc., a subsidiary of the Regal-Beloit Corporation, Beloit, WI. He has led Lean Initiatives in positions from Front-Line Supervisor to System Coordinator in various corporations since 2001. Mike can be reached at email@example.com.

August tip of the week # 1: serving
The non-dominant hand can easily be over-looked when working on the serve and yet it is crucial in the execution of the serve. Ignore the yin at your own peril.
The non-dominant hand should be relaxed and the best way for that to happen is to let it hang a la Roger Federer, it is not the only way, but I think it is one of the best. Many club players begin the serving motion with both hands very high and I think this makes timing a little more difficult.
When the arm is hanging, it will also be fairly straight and that will result in more uniformity in the ball placement.
Stop calling it a toss, it is not! It is more of a placement. You are simply letting go of the ball right at the top of the reach. This will make your ball placement more consistent and take the wristy-ness out of it.
To remove the image of throwing the ball and replacing instead with the image of placing it on the top shelf will also slow down the non-dominant hand and that is also an important aspect of the total serving motion.
Finally, for some reason, I have found that to have the two hands connected and to pause for a few seconds before beginning the service motion will also serve you well.
Experiment with some of these things and be alert to your body.
Enjoy the journey………..
