Chrosziel`s new Widgets
The accessory clamp DSLR 3310 has been developed for the DSLR handle. There are never enough 1/4" and 3/8" connections to fix accessories when you shoot with VDSLR cameras. The new clamp slides on the handgrip rod and is fixed with a screw in the desired position. It provides two 3/8" threads, one of them with a 1/4" insert. The clamp also fits on all LightWeight Supports with standard diameter 15 mm and can thus e.g. take an articulating arm to carry the receiver of a remote control.
Price for this little widget: 19.- Euro.
The Adaptor Plate Sachtler 401-400-CDS allows the use of all LightWeight Supports on the tripod plate of the new Sachtler Cine DSLR head. The long wedge plate with twist stop directly takes cameras or lenses with tripod thread. With the new adaptor plate, Follow Focus and MatteBox can be used. The plate uses the fixed rear twist stop of the Sachtler wedge plate and is fixed with the existing 1/4" screw. On the Chrosziel Support, the adapter is fixed twist-safe with two provided 1/4" screws.
The slideable slot-nut in the Chrosziel LWS bottom allows just as well the use of the Handgrip DSLR, the Chrosziel shoulder brace Balancer and Shoulder Pad proVideo (with the adapter in the foremost position) without the need to take off the Sachtler wedge plate - change from tripod to shoulder in a second!
With this Adapter Plate, VDSLR and video cameras can also use this Sachtler head.
Price for this bigger widget: 69.- Euro.
All prices RRP without tax, ex works Heimstetten / Munich.

There's a certain kind of celebrity that flies from its native habitat of New York, Los Angeles or London to breed, bath in warm ocean waters or forage for food and drink along remote tropical beaches. A newly reunited Jude Law and Sienna Miller fall into this category. The on-off-on couple spent the holidays in the Caribbean, as did Rihanna and Marc Jacobs (not together, of course). On the Pacific side, there have been two very rare spottings in Hawaii: Pierce Brosnan with his wife and a shirtless Jeremy Piven.
A different breed has been spotted playing in colder climates this holiday season, including Katy Perry and Russell Brand, now engaged after a pre-Christmas London rendezvous of shopping, sledding and most likely sessions of baby-making practice. But Aspen is the real hot gathering spot in the snow this year, with sightings of Mariah Carey, Antonio Banderas, Paris Hilton and Leann Rimes. [Photo: Splash News Online]

Huntingdon Town FA Cup match abandoned after '22-man melee'
Posted: September 16, 2013|
Football had a day of shame when an FA Cup clash had to be abandoned after a mass brawl involving all 22 players - plus coaching staff and supporters - left several people injured.
Huntingdon Town's qualifier at Sleaford Town on Saturday had just minutes left on the clock, with the Cambridgeshire side losing 2-1, when the melee erupted.
Punches were thrown during the incident, according to eyewitnesses. Sleaford manager Chris Jones was allegedly pushed to the floor while his assistant Darren Bevan was said to have been headbutted.
In the drama, one woman collapsed and had to be treated by paramedics who were called to the scene. She was reportedly taken to hospital as a precaution.
Huntingdon boss Ricky Marheineke said it was "something that should never be seen by anyone at a football match" and has promised to punish players who were involved.
The brawl started after Huntingdon full-back Olly Medwynter tried to take a long throw quickly but was impeded by a member of Sleaford's management team. Medwynter shoved the blocker and was sent off but the situation quickly spiralled out of control.
Huntingdon secretary Russell Yezek said: "Everyone seemed to be involved, all of the players.
"The player who had the throw-in was on the ground being hit, and supporters were going in and getting involved.
"I went on to get the players off and the referee pulled the players over and said he had abandoned the match.
"At the end of it the assistant of Sleaford was on the floor knocked out. A lady who was in the crowd fainted and paramedics had to deal with her."
Mr Yezek said the game had ran on for 87 minutes without serious incident beforehand.
He added: "It was a silly incident that started it all off. It's not something we condone and we don't support the players and what they did and they will be punished accordingly.
"It's all in the hands of the FA now. If both clubs get thrown out we wouldn't have an argument against that but if only we got penalised I would have something to say about that."
The referee will file a report on the game to the Football Association, which will make a decision on the result.
Sleaford president Brian Rowland said the referee had "no choice" but to abandon the game.
He said: "It was disgusting. It all kicked off with literally three minutes left.
"The referee had no choice but to abandon the game - I am not sure I've seen anything like it.
"I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Punches were being thrown. One lady collapsed in the excitement and it just wasn't very nice at all."
A Football Association spokesman said: "We are aware of the incident, and are looking into what happened."
A Lincolnshire police spokesman said he did not believe officers had been called to the incident.

There was a time, in my lifetime (and I'm not that old) when a company, let's say an electronics manufacturing company, could sell some stock and use the proceeds to fund the building of a new plant, the purchase of new equipment, the hiring of new employees. The family that owns the company sees their success in terms of this growing and profitable concern. A "healthy" profit on investment for such a company could be as little as 8 percent (and this was a time when you could get 5 percent for a savings account). The people who work for this company like it so much, have done so well as employees, that entire extended families go to work for the company, generation after generation. I watched this entire cycle occur right here in my home town to a company that made industrial lighting (like the kind you'd see at a major league ballpark during a night game). Now, the company is gone. Swallowed by a company that was swallowed by a company that was swallowed by a foreign company that lost contracts to a company in Europe. There's a trail of human loss all along the way.
Touching story, but mean corporations aren't really a product of 21st century evilness. This same cycle has been happening since the early 1900's (remember U.S. Steel, Standard Oil, ring any bells?). These maniac monopolists were the worst of the worst in terms of corporate oppression and exploitation of the free-market economy. However abhorrent you find modern companies to be, it's not new. There have always been flaws in the system.

We humans started out thinking that we were the God-chosen species... or even race. The only one with intelligence. The only one with a "soul" (an imaginary concept anyway). On a planet at the center of the universe. And gradually, all those things fell apart. We're not special. We'r also only machines.
I say, I'm pretty damn proud that we humans have come to the level, where we nearly create our own forms life. And if that life is successful, then so are we. Just like a master is proud of his student, when the student defeats him for the first time.
Are you assuming that our machine creations have bested us? At anything? They only exist to serve us because we will them to. I'm missing how that makes us machine-like in any way whatsoever. Of course you can compare humans to machines in some ways, but that's because we invented them to help us.

I'm not in favor of too many things that are good for CJ Wilson and Jarius Wynn. My personal hope was that the Packers could have brought in enough help in the off-season and draft to push both of those guys off the roster. It's looking less and less likely.

they drafted 2 guys and signed 2 guys. how many did you want them to bring in?
I wanted Amobi Okoye added to the mix. That would have done the trick.
I still have five guys in front of those two if things go well......Raji, Pickett, Worthy, Daniels and Guy. Need at least one more quality big to accomplish my objective.
guy? i'm all for developing players but right now he is not ahead of muir and wilson, nor hargrove. the dude hasn't touched the field yet, much less proven he's better than those guys.
Hargrove just eliminated himself from the equation. 4 games can be worked around. 8 is a big problem. Remember, he can't practice with the team during this time, so you have to add another 4 games before he will *possibly* be getting up to speed. The length of the suspension is a big deal. What exactly has Muir proven? That he can make it onto the roster of the worst team in football?
I qualified my statement *if things go well*.....meaning if the young guys play up to potential. Any or all of the three young guys could fall on their faces, and we're back with Wynn and Wilson again.....but the five listed have the talent and ability to make Wilson and Wynn expendable. In my opinion, Muir does not.
how is that any different? if he's not on the 53, he's not on the 53. whether that be for 4 games or 8. it changes nothing......what has muir proven? that he can play in an NFL d-line rotation a heck of a lot more capably than lawrence guy at this point. nothing against lawrence guy but right NOW, muir is vastly ahead of him in showing he can play in the NFL.
you are dismissing the evidence. guy has no evidence thus far, muir does.
It changes a lot. 8 games instead of 4 is a 6-game swing, from how I see it. I repeat....he cannot work out with the team. He cannot even be on the facility. The longer a guy is out, the longer it takes him to work his way back. 4 game suspension.....expect two games to work his way back......you get 10 games from the guy. 8 game suspension.....expect 4 games to work his way back.......you get 4 games from the guy, plus playoff games, which would be a nice plus, certainly.
Dismissing what evidence? Muir is the defensive line equivalent of a Frank Walker signing.
um, 8 games from 4 is a 6 game swing? huh? looks like 4 to me.
you haven't even seen guy practice, much less play. how would you know? now, i do believe there's a chance he could make the team but that's not based off of ANYTHING he's proven so far. because he hasn't proven anything. it's purely optimism and nothing more.
Guy hasnt got a chance yet and after a full offseason program I believe he'll be ready to contribute. He was drafted for a reason and has the potential granted it was just a 7th rounder he was a TT pick.
To the logic of what has he proven in the NFL no rookie would get a shot over guys like muir and we know that isn't the case.
The guy got cut loose from the 2-14 Indianapolis Colts and spent the rest of the season UNEMPLOYED. How exactly is that guy better? The Packers didn't scoop him up last year. Why is he suddenly a better option than a young guy with potential this year?
he's a better OPTION because he's actually played in an NFL game. will he beat guy out in camp for a roster spot? no one knows. at THIS time. lawrence guy can only hope to play as many games as muir has. i hope guy makes it, even if muir gets cut because of it. however, up to NOW, muir has been the BETTER player. eveyrthing you're saying about guy is pure speculation since you nothing concrete to go on. muir's not speculation, he is what he is. which, up to this point, is more than what guy has been.
if muir is frank walker, lawrence guy is ron moore. muir is no cullen jenkins or reggie white but he has actually played some games in the NFL and was a pretty significant part of the rotation in indy.
I agree that Guy hasn't proven anything. I'm going on potential. Muir has proven to be a fringe NFL player. When comparing fringe NFL players (which I also consider Wynn and Wilson), the ones that already know the system are going to have the advantage. I see a very low likelihood of Muir making the 53. Guy had a year to learn the system. Now we'll see if he can move up the depth chart. As far as I'm concerned, he doesn't have to do all that much to be better than Wynn and Wilson who are chronically ineffective.
2 of muir, wilson, wynn and guy should make the team out of the blocks, to go with pickett, raji, worthy and daniels. i'm not big on muir but for the 6th spot, he has as good a shot as any of the other 3.
Significant part of the rotation? HE WAS CUT MID-SEASON!
he was cut last year. muir played in 30 games, starting 24 of them, between 2009 and 2010. which is, precisely, 30 more games than guy has played in........trust me, i'm all for guy stepping up and becoming a player but he didn't play a lick last year after being a 7th round pick........your optimism is a bit too subjective.
Hargrove was a significant part of rotations in both New Orleans and Seattle, and he has pass-rush ability as a primary attribute. He could have (and still might) provided impact cycles in the rotation. Muir is just a warm body.
I explained the math of the 6 games before you even commented. If you want to pretend that players can immediately step on the field after having not worked with the team in any way at all for two whole months, I think that you don't understand the mechanics of physical or team sports. Thus 4-game difference manifests itself as 6-games, as explained above.
In addition, under that same argument, the fact that Muir did not play football for the better part of last year raises serious red flags on his ability to prepare his body to play at any sort of a high level. The longer that a player is not playing, the decreased likelihood that they will ever play again at a high level.
There are some stunning anomalies in sports history, such as Jordan returning to basketball and Michael Vick's return to the NFL, but I don't think I'm going against the grain when I state that I don't think Muir is the same calibre of athlete as Michael Jordan or Michael Vickk.
there are red flags for muir and he very well might not make the team as the #5-6 guy. you're absolutely correct. however, he doesn't have more red flags than lawrence guy, though. his red flag is he hasn't played a lick yet and we have NO idea what he can or can't do. as for your math, the difference is 4 games anyway you cut it. being out 8 games vs 4 doesn't extend the return process by 2 games. it usually takes them a couple weeks to return whether it's 4, 6 or 8 games.
being a triathlete, i understand FULL well the mechanics of the athletic body but thanks for offering......really.
Sorry, ain't buying it. Football is a team sport, not an individual sport, and he's changing teams and schemes. He might be physically ready to go after two weeks, but he won't be ready to make an impact after that time. No way a guy who is new to the team jumps in after two months and can contribute meaningfully after 2 weeks. Ain't gonna happen.
On top of that, if they press him in after two weeks, I think there is a serious chance for a material injury, similar to a holdout situation. Football is a contact sport, and the body builds up contact endurance over a period of time. Unless he's eased into contact, you'll be looking at a serious injury.
Oh, and even an Olympic triathlete (much less a lower level) attempting to claim that they understand the physical preparation demands of professional football is one of the most ridiculous things that I've seen from what is usually a pretty strong dialogue from you.
a) i didn't say I was an olympic triathlete, i am a competitive triathlete. yes, i do understand the athletic body VERY well............b) are you trying to say an olympic triathlete is a lower level athlete than an NFL player? i beg to differ. they may make less money but world class triathletes are SUPERB athletes...........c) the talk right now is that teams will receive a TWO week roster exemption upon completion of the players' suspension to activate them. yep........d) if you think even less than olympic athletes fall short of great knowledge of the physical body, you've never been to boulder colorado. not only is it the TOP elite athlete hub in the country but has a TON of lesser athletes that are incredible in their own rights. step out of the bubble.
back to the original point........i don't believe it takes 2 extra weeks to be ready if suspended 8 games versus 4. that doesn't make any sense. once they build a base of endurance and strength, the recovery process speeds up, it doesn't stay steady all the way through.
I understand that the Packers knew this was a possibility when they signed him, but the timing of this suspension is really dumb. You're telling me that they couldn't have pushed this forward one week to allow teams to know the availability of players prior to the draft? Eh. It is what it is. The Packers didn't commit much monetarily. It's still dumb.Hide replies
i think if teams were waiting on the suspensions to figure out which direction to go in the draft, they weren't thinking long-term anyways. which is their fault.
Yeah, I get it, but this announcement is four days after the draft. You can't tell me that they didn't know what they were going to do a week ago.
I'm in the camp that Roger in a weird way didn't want to appear to influence the 2012 draft and thus waited after it took place to announce. He probably thought doing it this way was fair to the entire league. The Saints were on the ball as I think that they have brought in 2 linebackers to fill in for Vilma.
Our rookie D lineman will have to grow up fast.Hide replies
Yep, yep. :-)
Lets not forget about that guy from ASU drafted a yr ago
They will. The front 7 will be much improved because of them. If even half of the first six picks start or play major minutes, GB has an excellent chance at 14-2, 15-1.
He gets suspended 'without pay' reports say, so the Packers don't even lose any money. Thank god. This guy maybe just as trashy as Jolly. At least he wasn't selling codeine.Hide replies
they don't save hardly anything. they have to pay another body on the 53 in his place. as for the jolly comparison, did hargrove's suspension today suddenly make him a person you didn't perceive him to be yesterday? yesterday he was a good guy but today's he's scum?
who gets suspended with pay? certainly no players ever do. thus, they don't don't save much money. they have to pay someone.
if it means wynn makes the team this year, he makes $565K. they save about $115K during the entire suspension. irrelevant. especially if they get a lesser player because of it. i don't see any benefit whatsoever.
in other words, i suspect the packers would rather pay the $115K and have hargrove instead of wynn.
Looks like we'll be back at full strength and peaking just in time for the playlets
What do you think?Hide replies
I saw this coming, guys. That's why I drafted all those defensive players to shore up the front 7. Regards.
cut him loose now .... just get it over with......nobody in GB saw this coming?.....Hide replies
who said they didn't see it coming? they'd have to be brain dead not to. so, since they did see it coming, why would they cut him loose now?
Many of us on this board warned this could happen when they signed him.
hahahahaehehehehelolololo buhahahaha GENIUS
TT is clueless. He never for one moment thought bountygate players could be suspended. HE SHOULD HAVE DRAFTED SOME FREEAKING DEFENSE, EH?
Cut him when cutting Neal, Wynn, and Wilson. Play Daniels, Worthy and Muir. Move forward.
Sign Osi U NOW!Hide replies
Osi would actually have to be a free agent. Since he isn't they cannot just sign him. That is how it works.
I'm starting to think that Thompson and McCarthy have been riding Rodgers coat tails for 3 years now............TT uses most of his draft on defense and then tries to tell us none of it was need? thats just how the board fell? give us a break.........wake up- and smell the cheese brats people......this team is due for a huge drop....we may not win 15 games the next two years combinedHide replies
Um, that's why you draft franchise quarterbacks. Of course it was need. I'd be more than happy to take your money if you want to predict that the Packers won't win 8 games next year.
when trading up in the draft, you take the player you traded up for and he better be the BPA. that's kind of how that works.
This comment has been deleted.
Whoo, thanks - I needed a good laugh this morning.
I would be willing to bet you a substantial amount of money that the Packers will win 15 games over the next two years.
And I thought that all the naysayers and malcontents left for Chicago. Guess not. What NFL team does not ride the coat tails of its star QB? They all do wisjeff. Were you also in the Favre camp? It may be best for you to simply turn off the TV this fall, get the hunting gear in order and head out to the woods. Nothing to see at Lambeau Field. We'll stink! LOL.
wisjef, just who drafted Rodgers, Jennings, CM III etc? "Riding Rodger's coat tails", are you nuts? And just who was the NFL Exec. of the year in 2011, TT. McCarthy is tied for the highest post season winning percentage with Belechick. A pretty good tandem aby any account, except yours.
Can't some of you just disagree with someone without heaping abuse on him? If you can't control yourselves, you shouldn't be here.
We won 15 games last year "riding his coattails", and with the defense as it was pre-draft.
Not even a super bowl and a 15 win season can convince people we have a great GM and coach. I didn't think the Favre folk would last this long. I guess we have to remain undefeated for 5 years to convince them.
wisejeff apparently isn't aware that a truly wise man once said, "It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth/blog and prove it.
Mimbresman, wisjeff is probably a troll. Trolls are to be abused.

Meth, the 'squeaky wheel' of illicit drugs is focus of daylong workshop
EVANSVILLE - Silencing the "squeaky wheel" of illicit drugs — methamphetamine — was the focus of a daylong workshop Friday which drew some 85 community residents to the Holiday Inn on U.S. 41 North.
Coordinated by the Vanderburgh County Substance Abuse Council, its purpose was to foster a discussion on how to curb the region's meth "epidemic."
Terry Stinson, one of two workshop presenters from RiverValley Behavioral Health Regional Prevention Center, at Owensboro, Ky., said that while meth isn't the most widely abused drug, it is "the squeaky wheel" because of the negative attention it attracts. That includes things such as fires caused by making the drug and the effect it has on children of users.
Surveying those attending, Gary Hall, also with RiverValley, commended them for wanting to learn more about fighting the meth because, he said, it takes collaboration from all groups, everyone, to undertake a successful effort.
"A community can reduce down the methamphetamine problem," Hall said. "The bad news is that it will take your community to do it.
"You can't just give it to one group and say 'it's their problem.' It's everybody's problem," Stinson added.
Laura Hatfield, director of the Vanderburgh County Substance Abuse Council, said she hoped Friday's workshop would give those attending the tools needed to "fight the battle against the problem."
"I hope that this training today is a little different than the training or workshops that you've been to in the past. Hopefully what you get out of it is what can you we can do about the meth problem in Vanderburgh County," she said. "We know its here."
Half of the workshop was devoted to discussion on what the community could do to better combat the drug's use — a topic that is often not explored enough, Hatfield said.
"It's not just talking about how bad of a problem it is," she said. "We're going to talk about what we can do (and) how do we start making steps for progress.."
Those attending included law enforcement, drug prevention advocates, health officials school employees and some who were simply interested in learning what they could do to as a community member to help fight the problem. Others, Hatfield said, told her they could not attend the daylong workshop but wanted the materials from the seminar.
Hall and Stinson have given similar presentations in about 40 locations in Kentucky and other states.
Hatfield said she hopes those who were at the workshop would also go out and educate others.
"Our goal is to have them go to their agencies and go to their employers," she said, "and train others."
Though the Substance Abuse Council tries to educate the community topics relating to all types of drug abuse, Hatfield called methamphetamine the nonprofit's No. 1 issue.
The group holds monthly public meetings in the Browning Events Room of Central Library in Downtown Evansville. Normally held on the first Monday of each month, September's meeting was rescheduled for 1:30 p.m. Monday because of the Labor Day holiday.
Hatfield said she hopes those attendance share what they learned Friday with their peers.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Krissy
"This is a scrumptious combination of a favorite Southern restaurant's green bean side dish and potato salad. It's fabulous and your family will thank you. You can serve it right away, but it does well for a few hours in the fridge. Eat cold or at room temperature."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

5 cups
iced water, or as needed
1 pound
small red potatoes
1/2 pound
fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 slices
1/4 cup
white wine vinegar
1/4 cup
olive oil
2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon
stone-ground mustard
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces
crumbled blue cheese
green onions, thinly sliced
Very good! I did cook my green beans longer than called for b/c we don't like when they are crunchy, and used a few more slices of bacon than called for. I only had red wine vinegar, so I went w/ that. This was wonderful both at room temp and cold. Loved the creaminess of the dressing. Make sure you season it w/ salt and pepper (especially salt b/c it needs it, IMO). I also added a some garlic powder. This was a hit tonight and I will def be making it again! Thanks for sharing. :)
Again, I'm not sure why my reviews are being edited considering my opinions are always fair and non judgmental. You win some, you lose some. Every reviewer should have the opportunity to write a fair, unbiased review and likewise, cooks should use their best judgment and understand that not every recipe will be a winner for everyone. So, here's my second attempt at writing an honest review. I thought this was just OK. My in-laws and (potato salad hating) hubby liked this, so maybe it's just me??? I guess I prefer a slightly sweet potato salad, or at least a less tangy one. The mustard vinaigrette was just a little overkill for me - and ditto for the blue cheese (and I LOVE the stuff!). All in all, this was decent, but nothing to write home about. Thanks anyways, Krissy. :)

I made this for my Son as he does not like sour cream in a potato salad, all the other family does, i do not like blue cheese, so the recipe had to be tested on him, he said it was wonderful as did his partner, they are both cheese adicts, they took the recipe home with them so they could make it and take it to another bbq the next day, where there were more cheese adicts, the verdict from that bbq was brilliant and why didn't they bring a bigger dish, as there was none left, much to my sons sorrow, he made more so they could take to work for their lunch the next week, so that is why i gave it 5 stars.
This recipe is fantastic. I doubled it with no problem, the tip about putting the potatoes on a kitchen towel really worked and completely removed the moisture from them. The dressing is easy to make and tastes fabulous. To be fair I did not add the olive oil, and it was still very good. My family loved how fresh it tasted, not heavy. I quartered some hard boiled eggs and decorated the top with them. Big hit in this household! Thank you for posting this recipe, we loved it.
I thought, "Green beans in potato salad?", but it's really good. I used 3 1/2 oz of smoked blue cheese because that's what I had. I think the smoked cheese amplified the impact of the bacon. I also cooked the potatoes in a pressure cooker and the beans in the microwave to save prep time.
I loved it!! Just starting to like blue cheese so a nice change from the normal boring potato salad. my hubbie thought it too tart; shave down the vinegar a bit for his liking
The green beans could have been cooked longer and the sauce was just tangy and vinegar-like.
Made this yesterday for the family and everybody loved it. Didn't have the Blue Cheese so skipped that. Used Turkey Bacon (didn't have regular Bacon). Will make it again with the cheese.

Fruit Picking
- h
Does anyone have suggestions on where to pick fruits? I know Brentwood has a number of farms, but I don't know the names or the fruit seasons and stuff. I think most of the U-Pick-Em farms are closed right now, but I'm doing a little research for the future. Thanks!
There are several U-pick farms in Sonoma County. You can find more info. on the Sonoma county farm trails link and they also have a map guide to the area that's very useful to have while driving around.
The farms are featuring berries right now but apples are right around the corner.
Here's a link for Brentwood u-pick places and farm stands. They aren't all closed. Peaches, plums, nectarines and other fruits and vegetables are still available.

FORT WORTH -- The New Mexico Lobos' quest to grab one of the top three seeds for the Mountain West Conference Tournament took a hit at TCU as the Horned Frogs held off the Lobos 41-38 in a heartbreaking and pivotal league loss for UNM.
The Lobos staged a dramatic rally in the final minutes and steals by Lauren Taylor and Sara Halasz gave the Lobos a shot at victory. TCU's Helena Sverrisdottir hit two free throws with 20 seconds to go to push the Frogs up 41-38, but UNM had a final shot to tie the game.
Lobo coach Don Flanagan called a timeout with 16 seconds to play, but UNM turned the ball over on a Eileen Weissmann charge with 13 seconds to go. The Lobos then forced a jump ball and got possession with four seconds to go, but a desperation bomb by junior Amy Beggin failed at the buzzer.
The Horned Frogs jumped to a 22-15 halftime lead and held off the cold-shooting Lobos in the second half behind an active zone defense that the Lobos never could master. The tough thing about this loss for the Lobos was that TCU was even colder from the floor. UNM shot 28 percent from the floor, but TCU shot 24 percent.
What really hurt the Lobos was going 5-of-23 from 3-point range and turning the ball over 19 times. TCU went 4-of-16 from long range and had 13 turnovers, several key ones in the game's final minutes. The Frogs went 11-of-17 from the line and UNM went 5-of-8. The line made the difference on the scoreboard for TCU.
The loss dropped UNM to 18-8 on the year and 7-6 in MWC play. TCU pulled further ahead of UNM at 11-3 in league games and the Frogs bumped their overall mark to 19-8.
The Lobos got double figures from Beggin with 13 points and Angela Hartill with 10 points and eight boards. Amanda Best had 10 rebounds for UNM and Amanda Adamson had seven boards.
"I didn't think we got the ball inside enough," said Flanagan. "They did a nice job on Amy (Beggin) and we couldn't get the ball inside."

"Mathematics is permanent revolution." That's one of my favorite sentences from Bob and Ellen Kaplan's The Art of the Infinite. It works on so many levels: on the one hand they're saying that the great revolutionary ideas of mathematics are continually being born out of and built upon the ideas that preceded them. They are, on the other hand, also making a pun about going around in circles. And they are, on yet another hand, deliberately recalling the structure of the book itself: the ideas always seem to be progressing forward, but every once in a while the authors force us to take our noses out of the details and appreciate that the idea we're exploring is really something we have already explored in an earlier chapter, we're just seeing it from a higher vantage point or a different angle. We've gone in a big circle and come back. And they're saying that this reflects the structure of mathematics itself: Mathematics is an ever-expanding spiral. The frontispiece of the book is "The Tower of Mathematics." It is an inverted Tower of Babel: as we go up it gets more coherent and the physical structure gets wider to accommodate the greater scope of the ideas. The paragraph that begins with this loaded sentence ends by quoting William Blake on opening the doors of our perception which of course makes you think of Jim Morrison and political revolution. And you realize they are also deliberately evoking Marx and Engels who first called for permanent revolution, which Trotsky described as "a revolution whose every successive stage is rooted in the preceding one," which is pretty much how mathematical revolutions proceed. This would be the perfect place to end this paragraph but I can't resist telling you the end of the Trotsky quote, "The permanent revolution means ... a revolution whose every successive stage is rooted in the preceding one and which can end only in complete liquidation." I guess I'm hoping this last part doesn't apply to mathematics. (And, speaking of the need for revolution, I'm also hoping that John Ashcroft isn't tracking visitors to the Leon Trotsky Internet Archive, where I found this quote.)
Nearly every paragraph of prose in the book is similarly layered and textured, jam-packed with literary, philosophical and historical allusion. The Kaplans write like humanities professors. You could spend months picking it all apart and still you'd probably miss most of it. I read a lot of mathematical exposition and we all seem to communicate in the same way — we use a simple spare prose style. We strive for complete clarity and unambiguity. Martin Gardner's clear, simple prose is our ideal. We're mathematicians, that's how mathematics is, so of course it's how we talk. If you've ever been to a faculty meeting, you know that our colleagues in the humanities communicate differently. For them it is a mark of erudition to slather a sentence with levels of meaning and subtle allusion. A word for a mathematician ideally conveys one single distinct concept; for your humanist a word weighs a ton — he won't let a word get away with doing only one job, if he can squeeze three out of it. I suspect this has something to do with your average humanist's disdain for the notion that mathematics is a creative art. To him layers of meaning and indirection seem essential to artistic communication. Mathematicians know what will happen if we allow auditors to interpret our utterances on their own — everyone will interpret things in his own subtly different way and soon we won't be talking about the same things. For a humanist, the individual, personal, interaction with the ideas is the whole point. Perhaps we communicate differently because, at some fundamental level, our notions of what truth is and our purposes in communicating it are different.
Regular readers of FOCUS Online will not find very much mathematics in this book that they don't already know. For me, one exception is the proof, attributed by the Kaplans to James Clarkson, that the series of prime reciprocals diverges. There are no detours into infinite products or complex analysis. The proof is truly elementary, though not easy: the authors describe it as "wonderfully acrobatic," which is about right. I can't resist telling the story of my favorite "proof" of this fact. When I was in graduate school a bunch of us were sitting around and somehow this very question came up. None of us knew whether the series converged and none of us could make even a convincing plausibility argument either way. I went down the hall and asked Joe Christie, a newly arrived post-doc from Berkeley with an encyclopedic knowledge of mathematics and its literature. The guy could always give you chapter and verse on any question and tell you three different places to look it up and the strengths and weaknesses of the sources. When I asked him whether the series 1/p converged he looked up at the ceiling, thought for a second and said, "It must diverge, because if it converged, then the number to which it converged would be very famous, and I've never heard of it." Joe would have been familiar with most of the content of the Kaplans' book: they start with the counting numbers, then figurate numbers, rationals, Hippasus's proof of the irrationality of the square root of two (after which they comment, "You may now find yourself in the distracted state where mathematicians notoriously live. The genie you rubbed from its bottle was much more powerful than you thought: barely under control.") and they wind up the first chapter with a discussion of complex numbers. The other chapters are equally rich: axiomatics (including the Hilbert-Brouwer dispute) in chapter two, elementary number theory in chapter three, infinite series in chapter four, Euclidean geometry in chapter five, ruler and compass constructions in chapter six, eiπ in chapter seven, projective geometry in chapter eight, winding up with Cantorian set theory in the final chapter. This catalogue of topics does the book a disservice — the real purpose of the book is not to present a collection of cool math ideas; no, the purpose is to lay bare the soul of mathematics and in that purpose the Kaplans succeed like no one else writing about mathematics today.
The Kaplans run a school for mathematics in Boston called The Math Circle. (See http://themathcircle.org/.) Their philosophy is that everyone can learn mathematics and can learn to enjoy mathematics and, in fact, can create mathematics. They approach mathematics with a playful, daring spirit of exploration, which they call "the Alcibiades humor." This spirit is the true strength of the book. The reader is carried along on a voyage of discovery by a pair of guides whose wit and wisdom and delight in what they're doing leaps off of every page. As I read I marked potential passages to quote in this review, when I was done I found nearly a hundred such passages. I'll leave you with two that seemingly contradict one another, but like Whitman, the Kaplans are large, they contain multitudes:
The rationals, the reals, the complex numbers no longer appear as successive approximations to what ultimately is, but as ever more tenuous fictions flung in support around the central keep.
And, later, after a discussion of Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progression and as prelude to the Prime Number theorem:
Once again we are at a loss in trying to see the structure of the primes: no particular rhythm carries more of them than another. Yet if we assume chaos we cannot but deduce despair. Since intuition and common sense have left us stranded, we need an insight — and then a proof for it to nestle comfortably into. Gauss — whom we saw as a schoolboy triumphantly writing on his slate — used to contemplate tables of primes for sheer amusement, the way Russians always and the English on country house weekends love browsing through railway timetables.
One unanticipated consequence of the recent upsurge in popular interest in mathematics has been the proliferation of new voices in mathematical exposition. I read a lot of math exposition, but even I can't keep up with everything that's appearing lately. The thing that most pleases me about this book is the appearance of, not just a new voice, but a completely new style: mathematics as humanistic exploration of the human condition. We know that mathematics is not a straightforward application of logic to axioms. It has a complicated, messy history and philosophy, it progresses in fits and starts with loops of feedback and chaotic bits we don't quite understand. The Kaplans rejoice in mathematics' humanity and you'll rejoice along with them.
A few weeks ago I was browsing the "Odd, Unusual, and Bizarre" table at my local Barnes and Noble and I discovered, in between A Field Guide to Stains and Famous Last Words, a copy of the Kaplans' first book, The Nothing That Is: A Natural History of Zero. Rescue their new book from that oblivion: Buy this book. And buy an extra copy for your brother who majored in history and doesn't really get what it is that you do and refuses to believe that mathematics is an art.

The CRZ combines fantastic aesthetics with precise, sporty handling and power. It is a covetable head-turner, developed by Honda's designers with some of the best sports cars of history in mind. The style, enjoyment, and fun of the journey was paramount in developing the CRZ.
A key feature that sets the CRZ in a class of its own is the use of Honda's IMA Boost (Integrated Motor Assist and Gear Logic Control on steroids), which redefines the concept of the petrol engine/electric motor combination. Tuned for power delivery and sporty driving, the CRZ offers three selectable modes of boost for driving conditions and driver mood.
The IMA Boost controls the power delivery and reactivity of the car. The options of Sport, Normal and Econ change the car dynamically to match the selection.
Sports mode delivers peak torque between 1000 and 2500 rpm- changing the car with a turbo-like feel, minus the lag. The boost concept of low-rev torque brings the revs lower and maximises the electric boost. This reduces the gear changes required as the electric boost comes in at low revs and the petrol engine delivers the power at high revs.
This means that sporty handling on windy roads just became more enjoyable.
The steering is active and responsive, allowing the driver to virtually "think" the car through a bend. Even when driving enthusiastically on rough roads, the CRZ suspension holds a lovely balance between comfort and control. A six-speed manual transmission is available with a short, smooth and tight gear shift.
Equally impressive is the 7 Speed CVT Auto option with its F1 racing-inspired shift paddles to accommodate those who enjoy driving a manual on the open roads and an auto around town. The CVT gear logic optimizes gear selection for a brisk exit from corners.
The interior of the cabin is sleek and beautifully designed with a futuristic dash. A tidy layout gives a 3D floating digital speedo with surrounding tachometer. A glowing "ring of fire" around the tachometer changes colour depending on settings. Sports mode sets it to a satisfying deep red, while in other modes it changes blue and green depending on fuel efficiency.
The CRZ also performs excellently around town when crawling in traffic, as the driver can select Econ to optimize the IMA, reducing fuel consumption.
One of the safest cars on the road, the CRZ was the best performing supermini to be assessed by Euro NCAP in 2010. Equipped with driver and passenger front and side airbags and full length side curtain airbags as standard, as well as active headrests, Electronic Stability Control (Honda's VSA), traction control, ABS, EBD and EBA, side intrusion beams, and Honda's own Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure with G-Force Control (G-CON), the CRZ offers the full safety package.

Pat Holt cares for his all horses he owns, especially one he calls Rowdy Romp. He said it is his million dollar baby, but Rowdy got hurt three weeks ago.
"Well he got into some barbed wire, and tried to cut his left front foot off," Holt said. "He just started doctoring him and doing what he needs to do, and I think the little colt is going to be sound."
Dr. Mart Brillhart has treated animals like Rowdy for about four decades.
"There is always going to be large animals," Brillhart said. "There is not going to be people to replace people my age."
Brillhart said as time goes on, the minds of those wanting to go into the veterinary field change.
"The popularity with new graduates, the first most popular is small animals," Brillhart said. "The next is equine and last is mixed practice or food animal practice."
"Currently the average student loan a student is graduating from vet school is around a $120,000," Landtroop said.
He said aside from rising tuition, there are other factors on why large animal vets are becoming rare.
"About 70-75 percent of the students going to vet school are female. It's not that females can't do large animals' veterinary work, they just tend to choose smaller animals."
Another veterinarian who treats large animals, Dr. Farr said veterinarian schools need to change its requirements on how they accept students.
"The selection process is such they just rely on grades," Farr said. "Which I think is a poor criteria because a lot of people can make good grades and can't do anything else."
Landtroop plans to work with the legislature and schools to recruit more large animals' vets.

Concord, N.C. (March 5, 2008) – David Ragan has quickly established himself as a driver to watch in 2008. Ragan already has two top-10 finishes in the Nationwide Series and one top-10 in the Cup Series. This weekend in Atlanta will be a homecoming for Ragan. He was born and raised in nearby Unadilla, Georgia, but called Atlanta Motor Speedway home early in his racing career. Ragan began racing in the Bandolero Series in 1997, at 11 years old. Under the guidance of his father, former Winston Cup driver, Ken Ragan, Ragan had years of experience instilled in him before he ever hit the racetrack. Ragan was able to accomplish all many of his early goals, winning multiple races on his way to a national championship in 1999.
This Saturday will mark his second career start in the Nationwide Series at Atlanta. The entire Ragan family will be on-hand to share in this experience. In a perfect world the race will end with Ragan and the Discount Tire team in victory lane. That remains to be seen, but one thing is certain, one will know where the Ragan fan club is at all times Saturday afternoon.
"My family has sacrificed so much to get me here today," said Ragan. "I am truly blessed to have them share in this experience with me. It doesn't matter if I run well or not, they always give me advice on how to be a better person on and off the track. That guidance is invaluable and it will make me a better race car driver in the future. With that said, I would love to get that first win at my home track this weekend. That would mean the world to me."

New advice for Gloucestershire families after measles outbreak
Posted: February 21, 2013|
SOARING numbers of people struck down with measles in Gloucestershire has led health experts to urge people to check their vaccination history.
The latest advice follows 62 confirmed cases in Gloucestershire between October and January.
The number is a significant spike compared to previous years. Less than five confirmed cases of measles were reported in 2011.
More people are being hospitalised because of the illness.
The message from the Health Protection Agency is for anyone born after 1988, when the Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine was first introduced, to check they have received the required two doses to make the vaccine effective.
Dr David Hunt, from the South West Health Protection Unit, said: "It is important to remember that measles isn't a "harmless" childhood disease for some and this is why we have seen hospitalisations in Gloucestershire.
"Thankfully all have now fully recovered and have been discharged. However, these hospitalisations reinforce how important it is to make sure that you and your children are protected. That is why we are urging the community to make sure children are fully immunised and have had both doses of the MMR vaccine."
Measles is caused by a very infectious virus which typically causes rash, cold-like symptoms, cough, red eyes and high fever.
About one in every 15 children with measles will develop more serious complications.
These can include ear and chest infections, fits, diarrhoea, encephalitis - an infection of the brain, and brain damage.
Anyone who needs advice or is not sure about their vaccination history should contact the practice nurse at their GP practice.
MMR vaccination is part of the routine child immunisation programme, one dose is given at 13 months and a second pre-school booster is given before school.
Dr Jeremy Welch, Tewkesbury GP and member of the Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group Shadow Board, said people should be vigilant if they recognise the symptoms, as the disease can spread quickly.
"Measles is a highly infectious and potentially dangerous illness which spreads very easily," he said. "If you have missed out on the MMR vaccination in the past it's always possible for a catch-up. Just contact your GP."
Advice for sufferers is to keep away from school, work and hospitals and away from others for five days from when symptoms, such as a rash, first appear.

Is this "intellectual property?" Technically, yes. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback filed to trademark "Kaepernicking," his bicep-kissing move that's become ubiquitous. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office website shows a registration filed January 14, 2013. Mr. Kaepernick intends to use it on T-shirts, and some proceeds from the Sportiqe "Kaepernicking" shirt go to Camp Taylor, which organizes camps for children with congenital heart defects.
His Kaepernicking trademark may turn out to be quite valuable. After all, Kaepernick's jersey has been the best-selling NFL jersey on Fanatics.com of late. He was exemplary in the Green Bay playoff game, rushing a record 181 yards with two touchdowns, and passing for 263 yards with two more. Kaepernick's marketing agent, Shawn Smith of X-A-M Sports, said her team intends to file other trademarks on his behalf. See Colin Kaepernick Files To Trademark "Kaepernicking."
Myopically, I wonder whether the star will pay ordinary income or capital gain on all that revenue? See Baldwin v. Costner Suit May Come Down To Taxes. The new higher 20% capital gain rate plus the 3.8% Obamacare tax makes a top long term capital gain rate of 23.8%. Yet that's far better than the 39.6% Kaepernick will pay on ordinary income. See Securities Lawsuit Recoveries: Capital Gain or Ordinary Income?
How could he get capital gain? It's not likely on licensing revenue, but a sale of the trademark after a year could be a different story. Some IP sales are capital gain even if paid over time. See Five Tips About Capital Gain For Everyone (Not Just Mitt Romney). The same is true for settlements of IP legal disputes.
A transfer of anything less that ownership is a license though, and that means ordinary income. Where rights are retained, a key question is whether they have substantial value. It also helps if the payor calls the payment a purchase. A payment for "royalties paid" without mentioning a transfer of rights is likely to sound ordinary to the IRS.
Only individuals and pass-through entities (S corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies) benefit from capital gain, there must be a transfer of all rights. Most of the tax cases involve patents, but trademarks can be sold as well. The professional or amateur status of an inventor is relevant, since professional inventors earn ordinary income.
That leads to line-drawing. Thus, in Lockhart v. Commissioner, an inventor with 37 patents over 19 years was ruled a professional. In contrast, in Kucera v. Commissioner, an inventor with 21 inventions and several patents was not a professional so was entitled to capital gain.
Kaepernick probably has many bigger goals than worrying about taxes, especially from his fledgling trademark. Still, as Coach Harbaugh might say, it's never too early to plan ahead.

Avera and its orthopedic partners in Mitchell and Sioux Falls have announced plans to offer personalized medicine for post‑surgical pain control in patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgery.
Personalized medicine is the use of genetic analysis to better manage a patient's disease, harnessing genetic science and technology to understand how each patient metabolizes pain medications.Â
Patients who see orthopedic surgeons at Avera Medical Group Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Mitchell and CORE Orthopedics Avera Medical Group in Sioux Falls will be offered a blood test based on their personal history with pain medications.Â
