text: Seven months into the fight, key questions remain for the coalition: How is ISIS doing as it confronts the U.S.-led military campaign against it in both Iraq and Syria? Should the United States and its coalition get more actively involved on the front lines of the fight in Syria? And should we push for greater American involvement in Iraq?

(Memphis) Bobby Taylor is an unemployed truck and tanker driver. He was at the Memphis Career Center on Poplar to find work closer to his family, but he says major corporations aren't always willing to help the long-term unemployed.
"The people who are in corporations sometimes are out of touch with what we need on the bottom tier," Taylor said.
It's why chief executives from 20 companies met with the President at the White House today. They pledged not to unfairly weed out the long-term unemployed, those out of work more than 27 weeks, when they hire.
Waymon Manuel is trained to work in shipping and receiving. He's been out of work for a year and a half.
"Sometimes they'll tell you, you are unqualified and sometimes they'll tell you you're overqualified," Manuel said.
About 300 businesses have signed a document promising not to discriminate against job applicants solely because they have been out of work for extended stretches.
Tory Davis is a welder by trade. He's been out of work for months and he says since job jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed expired in December things have gotten worse.
"It's tough though and with the not extending unemployment benefits, it's tough out here," Davis said.
It's why many out of work Memphians such as Bobby Taylor hope a pledge from companies not to discriminate against the long-term unemployed will lead to a job.
"It's a link to link us together with the corporations and I'm for it, yeah," Taylor said.
WREG tried to reach several corporations in Memphis to see if they had taken the pledge, but we didn't get a response before airtime.

Somehow in the last couple years I've made enough fine art work to have something of a retrospective art show! Which is pretty neat, especially since it's going to be hanging from October until at least mid November at none other than 401 Richmond - an amazing creative hub in the middle of the Fashion and Advertising neighborhoods in Toronto! Needless to say, I'm very happy my pieces will be hanging there.
Check out The Roastery Cafe, where my pieces are, and then check out the rest of the beautiful, artistic building, including SWIPE books, and the rooftop garden!
Big thanks to Erin MacKeen for making it happen.

Please join us online tonight from 8 to 10 p.m. eastern time as we stream our monthly meeting over the Internet. Tonight's agenda includes:
Breaking news: Not one but two supernovas have been discovered on consecutive days. First we have a magnitude 13.9 explosion occurring in the spiral galaxy NGC 4080 that was discovered on Oct 28. Located 49 million light years in the constellation Coma Berenices, this magnitude 13.7 galaxy is located at R.A. 12h 40m 52s, Dec. +26d 59m 47s.
Congratulations to the Burke-Gaffney Observatory!
The RASC 2014 Observer's Handbook was recognized by Orion's Top Ten Astronomy Books for Beginners List!
From the article:
RASC Executive Director Randy Attwood attended the 65th annual IAC meeting Sept 30th 2014. A presentation was made to members of various like-organizations such as The Canadian Space Society and The Planetary Society. In attendance was Canadian astronaut Jeremey Hanson.
This month we bid farewell to the constellation Scorpius and quite soon – Sagittarius. Both were the focal point of every star party this past summer. To witness the middle our home galaxy on a moonless night is beyond words. I hope you had the opportunity to see the beauty of the night and all it has to offer. But even though these two are sliding into the southwest skies, all is not lost.
The RASC Board of Directors is pleased to announce the hiring of Executive Director Randy Attwood of Toronto, effective 2014 September 2.
We now continue our tour of the famous summer triangle. Half way between the Double-Double and Deneb is a dense magnitude 9.5 open cluster identified as NGC 6819. Pretty well any telescope will reveal about 30 stars but larger instruments are required to pick up the many fainter suns. NGC 6819 is located some 7,200 light years and thought to be around 2.3 billion years old.
This information comes from Stan Taylor of the Toronto Centre:
The use of Green Lasers will be one of the issues discussed at the COPA flight 70 meeting 7:30 Thurs Sept 4 RCAFA 420 Wing, 1000 Stevenson Rd N, Oshawa, ON. RASC members are encouraged to attend.

Pumped Storage Hydro In Scotland
The most suitable energy storage technology but . . .
Pumped storage is a well proven technology in use in Scotland and across the world. The Cruachan station on Loch Awe became fully operational in 1967 and was the first reversible pump storage hydro system to be built in the world. Cruachan generated 885 GWh of electricity in 2008
The Foyers hydro electric scheme was originally built by the british Aluminium Company in 1896 to power an aluminium smelter and was the first large-scale commercial hydro-electric scheme in the UK. It was redeveloped to focus on pumped-storage in 1969.
How does it work?
A pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant is a net consumer of energy but allows energy to be stored when electricity is plentiful and released for generation in times of high grid demand. Water is pumped uphill to a high reservoir when the demand, and price, for electricity is low. During hours of peak demand, when the price of electricity is high, the stored water is released through turbines to produce electric power.
Unlike most other types of power station hydroelectric power plants can be brought online almost immediately, making them eminently suitable for dealing instantly with quite large fluctuations in grid demand.
How much storage capacity do we need?
The storage capacity we will require depends on the capacity of renewables installed and the extent of upgrades to the transmission network,including any new interconnectors or the European 'supergrid'. Assuming the Scottish government's most ambitious scenario for renewables is realised then increased storage will be required. It is calculated that installing energy storage capacity of some 7 GW by 2030 would alleviate the constraints identified, with most of the constraints relieved with less than 10 hours of storage. Installing 3.5 GW of storage will alleviate 75% of constraints.
What new pumped storage is planned?
Two large-scale new pumped storage schemes are being planned for the Great Glen area of the central Highlands by power generation, distribution and supply company Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE). The plants, with a combined generation capacity of some 900MW, are planned for Coire Glas, north-west of Loch Lochy, and Balmacaan, near Invermoriston. They would be able to provide more than 1,000 gigawatt hours of electricity annually to help meet peak demands. With environmental impact investigations under way, SSE aim to submit planning applications this year.
It is also to submit to Scottish Ministers an application for consent to develop a 60MW pumped storage scheme at its existing Sloy hydro electric power station at Loch Lomond, allowing it to produce an additional 100GWh (gigawatt hours) of electricity in a typical year to help meet peak demand. In total the new schemes should increase Scotland's pumped storage capacity by a little over 100%
Sites for any further pumped storage schemes are in scarce supply and likely to attract a lot of opposition from environmental groups. Proposals have been mooted for seawater pumped storage hydro and underground pumped storage schemes, but the costs could prove prohiiibitive. For the immediate future it looks as though pumped storage may only be able to meet between a third and a half of Scotland's future energy storage needs.

4 Responses to "Pumped Storage Hydro In Scotland"
Can you tell me, if 1,000 mw of electric pumping is used to pump water up the hill, how much electric power will be generated from the water flowing down the hill?
[…]Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.[…]…
This is a very interesting article. What are the projected costs of the proposed facilities at Coire Glas and Balmacaan? What is the payback period and how do the economics work? What is the capacity of each individual project?

If you've ever spent a weekend in the hospital, you couldn't fail to notice how quiet it was. No surgeries, other than those that are urgent. Fewer tests being scheduled. Fewer staff in the building. The underlying mood that we've-all-throttled-back-because-it's-the-weekend-and-we'll-get-back-to-normal-on-Monday.
But what if hospitals were ramped up around the clock, instead of concentrating most of their activity during traditional hours? This concept is the focus of an intriguing opinion piece that appeared this past week in the New York Times. The author, Peter Orszag, may be familiar to readers as the previous director of the White House Office of Management and Budget.
It's been well established that weekends aren't an optimal time for patients to receive care, Orszag writes:
It's never good to be hospitalized, but you really don't want to be hospitalized on a weekend. There are fewer doctors around, and people admitted on Saturdays and Sundays fare relatively poorly.
One study in 2007 found, for example, that for every 1,000 patients suffering heart attacks who were admitted to the hospital on a weekend, there were 9 to 10 more deaths than in a comparable group of patients admitted on a weekday. The weekend patients were less likely to quickly receive the invasive procedures they needed – like coronary artery bypass grafts or cardiac catheterization.
If patient safety is one of the weekend hazards, cost and efficiency are the others. Orszag calls it the "the economics of a $750 billion-a-year industry letting its capacity sit idle a quarter or more of the time."
"If hospitals were in constant use, costs would fall as expensive assets like operating rooms and imaging equipment were used more fully," he writes. "And if the workflow at existing hospitals was spread more evenly over the entire week, patients could more often enjoy the privacy of a single-bed room."
This isn't just idle speculation. Orszag describes what's happening at one institution, New York University Langone Medical Center, to provide more care on weekends. At Langone, magnetic resonance imaging and elective cardiac surgery are now available on weekends. The facility's radiologists read medical imaging studies seven days a week. The cancer center provides some treatments during the weekend. Women planning to undergo an elective Caesarean delivery can now schedule it on a Saturday.
Information being tracked at NYU Langone has uncovered some hitherto-unnoticed issues with how the hospital deploys its resources, Orszag writes.
The dashboard data revealed, for instance, that on any given day a disproportionately small number of eligible patients were discharged before noon, so that many people were kept in the hospital longer than necessary. Further analysis revealed a key reason: several routine procedures that some patients need before leaving, like the insertion of central catheters, were not performed in the morning. The medical center has since begun to offer the procedures earlier, and the percentage of discharges before noon has increased significantly.
Reaction around the blogosphere to Orszag's column has been, uh, interesting. Many people have seized on Orszag's opening comments, which in essence said doctors should suck it up and work more weekends, as the equivalent of endorsing involuntary servitude. The response, at least from more than a few health care professionals, could probably be summed up by a blog commenter who said, "My first thought was, yeah, good luck with that."
I can feel a twinge of sympathy. I've worked evenings, weekends and holidays my entire adult life. In the news industry it just comes with the territory and I've learned to live with it. This doesn't mean I always like it, though, and I suspect most people would rather not work evenings and weekends if they can possibly help it. I don't think this was Orszag's main point, however.
It's true there's idle capacity in health care, particularly among hospitals, and that the normal 8-to-5 schedule doesn't always match patient need. How many of us have wished we could make a doctor's appointment in the evening so we wouldn't have to take time off work? There's a certain irony in telling consumers to call their doctor for non-urgent problems rather than seek expensive emergency-room care – yet giving them no other option if something crops up when the doctor's office is closed for the day or for the weekend. There's a certain irony in advising people to try to avoid being hospitalized on a weekend, yet ignoring the fact that illnesses and injuries don't happen solely during daytime hours Monday through Friday.
Whether this is enough to justify a shakeup of the industry model is a whole 'nother question, though. Do hospitals and clinics have the wherewithal to expand their hours into the weekend? How feasible is it, in terms of both workforce and financial resources? Would patients use a weekend service? Would it actually improve patient care and outcomes?
On the other hand, it should be troubling to all of us that patients who are hospitalized on a weekend might not receive the same level of care as on a weekday. And the many little overlooked inefficiencies in the system – such as having no one available to insert central catheters until after lunchtime – are frustrating and frankly make little sense, either for patient care or for the financial bottom line.
Maybe some discussion on these issues has been long overdue. Access to care on evenings and weekends isn't a new problem that only recently sprang up. There has been a long-standing gap in how care is provided outside traditional hours, and solutions such as urgent care clinics and nurse hotlines, even when they do fill some of the need, are not the total answer. Critics might not like what Peter Orszag is saying but he's nailed an issue that seems to merit further consideration.

In the fight over the Bush tax cuts President Obama appears to have the political upper hand. According to a new poll for the Americans for Tax Fairness, Obama's position on the Bush tax cuts is more popular, and if a deal is not reached on the Bush tax cuts most voters will blame the Republicans. From the ATF memo:
When voters hear President Obama's position on the Bush tax cuts – that he will sign a bill continuing them for 98 percent of Americans, but will veto a bill continuing them for incomes over $250,000 – 61 percent agree with his stance, including 40 percent who strongly agree, and only 35 percent disagree. In contrast, when voters are read the congressional Republican's position – that they will pass a bill continuing the cuts for all income levels but will block any bill ending the cuts for those making over $250,000 – only 42 percent agree with the GOP position, while a 53 percent majority rejects it.
If no agreement is reached and the Bush tax cuts expire for all Americans, voters say by a 15-point margin that they will blame Republicans in Congress (43 percent), not President Obama (28 percent) for the resulting tax increase. Democrats will clearly win support from the middle of the electorate in this scenario. By lopsided margins, such key voting groups as independents (+21 points), swing voters (+34 points), and moderates (+30 points) say that they will blame congressional Republicans more than the president.
This closely mirrors the result from a Pew Research/Washington Post poll earlier this week. It found that if government fails to reach a deal regarding all aspects of the "fiscal cliff," 53 percent will blame Congressional Republicans and just 29 percent will blame Obama.
President Obama has strong political incentives to not reach a deal until after the new year. To begin with, the new Congress will be slightly more Democratic. Secondly, allowing all the Bush tax cuts to expire will make it easier for Republicans to get around their tax pledge. Finally, the polling makes it clear that if Obama chooses to drag out negotiations until he is in a better position it is actually the Republicans who will be blamed.
With all that taken into consideration I would be surprised if any real actions were taken before January.

"I absolutely love my invitations. Another beautiful added touch to my day. Thank you for your hard work and getting it to me in a timely manner. I will definitely recommend to my friends."
"I wanted a beach themed invitation for my vow renewals. I did not want a typical beach theme though. This design fit the bill. A floral ocean theme. The beautiful vintage flowers with the ocean is just so unique and beautiful! I love it. The paper quality is gorgeous as well. Love everything about it! Received tons of compliments. delivery could have been a little quicker....."
"This is a simple elegant card but the bride and groom didn't like the organge color of the coral, so with the designer's help it was changed to a smoke gray - both the invitation as well as response and details card. Feel free to be creative - you can have your own perfect card! Only dissappointment was they don't provide "inside" envelopes - only outside. Too late to add them now. Should be provided at no extra cost."
"This product was perfect and more turned out to be even more than expected. The paper was sturdy for the invites and rsvp's and the product shipped much faster than expected."
"Love this website. Customizing choices of font, wording, and placement on your "potential" invitation allows you to preview exactly what it will look like. I will be ordering this invitation today."

Alejandro Chaskielberg's powerful nocturnal pictures of Kenyan villages
The name of amost any country conjures up an immediate mental image usually rooted in stereotype, stale or otherwise. Mention any African country and whatever comes to mind is almost certainly set against a sun-scorched backdrop, and it's this automatic associations that photographer Alejandro Chaskielberg enjoys unpicking.
His pictures, now on show in London in an exhibition organised by Oxfam, feature a community in the Turkana region of northwest Kenya, but they're all taken at night, using full moons, strobe lighting and long exposure to create powerful portraits his subjects and their lives,
"I've always been attracted by the night, because it is the time when the most fascinating things can happen," Alejandro said and that fascination is certainly evident in the cinematic feel of the final photos.
The show at the OXO Tower opens tomorrow and runs until Sunday.

The first of three trials in the gruesome murders of two young men last year began today in Joliet.
Eric Glover and his friend, Terrance Rankins, both 22, were strangled to death in January of 2013 inside a Joliet home on Hickory St. The motive? Robbery. $120 dollars was taken after the killings.
Four people allegedly were inside the home at the time, accused of luring the victims there with the intent to rob and kill.
20-year-old Bethany McKee, who allegedly left shortly after the killings, is the first defendant to go to trial. She sat quietly today as a friend took the stand, recalling the Facebook posts from McKee after the killings.
Then, Joliet officers, the first on the scene, told the judge of going into the home and finding the two bodies, face down on the floor upstairs in separate rooms. Both men had bags over their heads and were lying on plastic garbage bags. One officer saying it looked as though they had their hands tied behind their backs at one point, rigor mortis had set in.
On the first floor, police found Alissa Massaro, who told them two others were inside the home.
Adam Landerman, the son of a Joliet police officer, was found hiding behind paneling in the basement, an officer testified. "He had a grin on his face" said the officer.
Upstairs, near the bodies, police say they found Joshua Miner on a couch, smoking a cigarette.
The officer recalled Miner telling him he killed the one in the dreadlocks. "Adam did the other guy," he said.
Both men face separate trials later.
Massaro pleaded guilty in May to a lesser charge, in exchange for testifying against the other three.
In opening statements, McKee's attorney said his client didn't physically do anything in the crime.
They've opted for a bench trial. There's no jury. Only the judge will decide the case.
Testimony begins again tomorrow at 10am.

Garrus, All Day, Erryday
In playing Mass Effect 1 and 2, you will be presented with multiple party members. You must always choose Garrus.
Why? You may as well ask why so many people think Die Hard was a great movie or why sex is the main reason men exist; because it/he is awesome.
Let me lay down some base facts first: Garrus is an ex-cop. As we all know, well over 60% of ex-cops are bad motherfuckers who are full of rage, liquor and violence. Garrus uses a sniper rifle. As we all know, sniper rifles are pretty cool. The list goes way the fuck on.
But here are some things you didn't know. For starters, you know the big firefights in Mass Effect 2 where you're panicking and shit's getting crazy? Well, if Garrus is feeling like it, sometimes he will make you and your other partymate look like a colossal pussy.
That not good enough? Then prepare to be blown away by how much of a bro Garrus is. I don't mean sick-kegger-at-Joey's-during-reading-week college bro, I mean true bro, in that he's got your back no matter what. He can also pull off the overtanned huge-shade wearing polo shirt asshole look though, and make it look fucking good.
I don't care if you're new to Mass Effect or you're a grizzled veteran. You had better fucking open it up, you had better fucking play it again, and you had better fucking bring Garrus with you. He turns a great space opera into a great space opera buddy cop movie.

There is perhaps nothing more fundamental to our society than every individual's right to seek justice from the courts. This central concept is not only enshrined in the United States Constitution and the laws of all fifty states - it is something that we subconsciously assume to be available. In other words, the ability to hold others accountable for their wrongdoing is something that we take for granted.
In practice, however, a number of obstacles stand between an injured victim and justice. For starters, lawsuits are expensive. Even plaintiffs who possess a thorough understanding of the law and science involved in their claim must find a way to pay for fees, expert testimony and presentable evidence. To make matters worse, the vast majority of injury victims are not lawyers - they cannot be expected to know the relevant law inside and out. Neither of these big obstacles are a problem for corporations, hospitals or insurance companies.
This situation threatens to seriously undermine the ability of everyday Ohioans to effectively seek justice. One time-honored mechanism, however, currently guarantees victims' access to the courts: the contingency fee model.
When lawyers agree to a contingency fee, they put up all of the lawsuits costs up front. If the case is successful, the lawyer receives a portion of the award (generally around 25 percent) while the client keeps the rest. This arrangement guarantees that victims will be able to bring effective lawsuits, challenging even the most formidable defendants in court.
In recent years, defense-oriented interests like corporations and hospitals have supported a campaign to protect themselves from liability. These efforts, known as "tort reform," looked for ways to discourage victims from successfully suing. Because the contingency fee model is so helpful for many victims, these groups targeted contingency fee rules around the country. Their efforts included laws that limit and cap contingency fees - this strategy hopes to make it harder for lawyers to accept injury cases by imposing harsh pay cuts for doing that work.
Fortunately, the contingency fee model is still alive and well - while some rules apply in some states, Ohio personal injury lawyers are still able to help victims get to court on even footing with well-funded corporate interests.

Wow…what a day. I was up and at 'em at 5am, getting ready to go peddle my goods at my parents' yard sale. Business could have been better, but I made enough to cover my next shipment of cloth diapers! 😀
We did a little visiting at an old friend's house after the yard sale wrapped up, then headed home around 8pm with a very sleepy baby. He zonked in no time, leaving a little bit of time for mommy and daddy to sit and breathe. The perfect opportunity to break out some of the fun finds from our last shopping excursion! (Many of which required me to put my disdain for dairy on hold for the evening. I'm telling you, I don't even miss most of it, but that darned cheese gets me every time…)
The husbo set to work poppin' corks while I started assembling a happy snack platter for us to graze on while watching some random whatever on TV. Have I mentioned that we used to do this a lot when we first started dating? Despite all that's changed, I guess some things stay the same, and we still like our foodsploration! Do I mind that our date night isn't fancier, or spent out on the town? Nope…not one bit. I love knowing that my son is safe and snuggly in the next room. Wouldn't have it any other way, or at least not yet, anyway.
The array of tidbits included:
One apple and a few Medjool dates (SUCH a treat!)…
Jicama slices, sprinkled with lime juice and an individually packed teaspoon of organic chile pepper…
And finally, a lovely cheese trio: some heavenly cheddar curds, a sharp New York cheddar, and my new favorite…
A French cheese called Mimolette. It's dry and tangy, and if you like to pair cheese with fresh apples, you've GOT to try this one!
It's a little ugly on the outside…
until you get to know it. 😀
A healthier-than-usual pour of this Hunter's Valley Berry Mountain Red.
Not too fancy, not too sweet – just the way I like it.
Did I mention it's a local wine? Two woots for buying local!
I was wishing we had some fresh berries to cap off the evening, but there were none to be found.
But we did have… *drumroll please*… Chocolate (What else?) in the form of 70% cacao dark chocolate covered cocoa nibs!
Nice and bitter, barely sweet. I must have these sprinkled over vanilla bean coconut milk ice cream, or maybe vegan banana soft serve.
Just a few, though. It's a rare occasion when the entire ABCGP family has the opportunity to sleep late in the morning, and I wouldn't want anything to mess with my much-needed Zzzzz's!
Imagine your perfect snack plate…what's on it?
What's your favorite cheese?

VMware chief cloud executive George Gerchow also described how we expected traditional outsourcers to beat telcos to the punch in gaining traction for enterprise cloud computes.

It is comfortable but the shoulder pads are a little bulky when the collar bone pads are installed which require lock tight. Wearing long-sleeved under armor makes the vest much easier to remove. If it last more than five seasons I will be impressed.Read All Reviews
KENNETH in AR
The previous review mentions the zippers, the way this brace works the strength of it is not relying on the zippers. The chest plate straps and kidney belt is what holds the plates to your body. This brace feels strong when wearing it. Although I could not imagine wearing a jersey over the brace, it is really bulky. But I like it and it feels like it is worth the price tag.Read All Reviews

It does have one edge that pokes me near the collarbone when I'm wearing a backpack over it, and the arm protectors seem a little small/awkward, but I crash tested it at the track and it held up, no cracks or broken straps and the arm pads definitely helped reduce bruising. Good quality, and it looks cool. I would buy another.Read All Reviews

Based on the now-famous photo of Miller posing with UK great Tony Delk while wearing a Walter McCarty jersey, it's safe to assume the Wildcat senior dreamed of playing on college basketball's biggest stage wearing Kentucky blue.
Three years ago, it didn't look like Miller would ever get that kind of opportunity. His first season ended ignominiously with a loss in the NIT, a three-letter acronym Kentucky fans treat like a four-letter word. Miller was one of the lone bright spots on a roster devoid of the talent necessary to make a deep March Madness run.
The rest, as they say, is history, as John Calipari came aboard and authored an unprecedented turnaround. First came an Elite Eight, then a Final Four, then another in his senior season. While some would rather forget how his career began, Miller appreciates it. The past gives him perspective.
"For me to be able to experience it with these guys I've grown to be brothers with, it means a lot to me," Miller said. "Especially, in my freshman season, I was in the NIT. It was terrible."
His first crack at the Final Four met its end in the national semifinals, but he wasn't about to let the same thing happen the second time around. He knows how precious these kinds of chances are.
"It's very emotional," Miller said. "We've worked extremely hard to get to this point. I feel like we've all (done) a great job throughout the whole year. This is what we've been reaching for. At the end of this game we have a chance to win a national championship."
The game Miller is referring to is UK's 69-61 victory over archrival Louisville to move to within one game of the NCAA crown, the goal that has been on the Wildcats' minds since day one.
For a brief moment, it appeared they might fall short after all. Leading by as many as 13 points early in the second half, the Cats allowed the Cardinals to make a charge. With 9:12 to play, Peyton Siva, a 23.9-percent 3-point shooter on the season, drained a shot from deep to tie the game at 49, and it seemed the stars were aligning for an upset.
Enter Miller.
In the kind of moment familiar to anyone who has followed the 2011-12 Wildcats, the versatile guard declared it "Miller time" once more. After Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Terrence Jones shook off subpar performances last night to give the Cats a little breathing room, Miller, who scored 13 points on the evening, dug the dagger into the side of the rival Cardinals. He scored five points in a row on a 3-pointer and two free throws, plays that helped the droves of UK fans in the Big Easy rest easy, or at least head to Bourbon Street in a celebratory mood.
"That was great to see that go in," Kyle Wiltjer said of the back-breaking trey. "They were making some runs of their own and we were able to bounce back and make some big shots and that really helped us put them away."
Characteristically, Miller deflected praise when talking about the shot.
"Marquis (Teague) did a great job of finding me," said Miller, who will break Wayne Turner's UK record with 152 games played on Monday. "He pushed it, put pressure on the defense. I was trailing. He gave me a good pass. I just tried to knock it down."
Some of Miller's best plays of his final campaign as a Wildcat have come in the season's biggest moments, but it's the intangibles he brings when the going gets rough that really stick with his young teammates.
"When we get in tough situations, he calms us down and tells us what to do," Anthony Davis said. "He's a great leader, leads the team. That what he does at crunch time, tells you what to do."
"Whenever we get a little hectic on the floor, he huddles us together, tells us to stay poised," Teague said.
Miller, in spite of the warm and fuzzy legacy he will leave behind, has been far from immune to criticism in his time as a Wildcat. His deferential nature led some to wonder whether he ever would reach his potential as a player or a leader, but what was previously seen as a flaw has become invaluable.
"He's the most unselfish player I've ever coached," John Calipari said. "Sometimes it drives me crazy because I don't think he understands how good he really is, but he's done great things for us."
For a senior who started the majority of the previous two seasons, it would have been hard to blame Miller for having a sense of entitlement. Instead, his selflessness helped pave the way for an unimaginably successful season and a national title game appearance against Kansas.
"He's had his best year by far," Calipari said. "His numbers, he's a top-50 player to ever put on a uniform at Kentucky."
There will be a time when thoughts about his place in Kentucky lore will likely cross Miller's mind, but that time is not now. He has a chance to be a part of just the eighth team to win a title at Kentucky, and he's not worried about anything else.
"It's not an opportunity that most people get," Miller said. "Can't really explain it in words. You have to experience it."

Celebrating his 90th birthday, longtime "The Price is Right" host Bob Barker will once again encourage audiences to "come on down!" Barker will take to the stage one more time since his retirement from the long-running game show in 2007. The when and where will be a surprise for the studio audience while the show is taped at the old CBS Television City studio.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in TV
Keywords: Bob Barker, The Price is Right game show, animal rights
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "We've had Bob on just one other time since Drew Carey took over the show," executive producer Mike Richards says. "It was when Bob's book, 'Priceless Memories,' came out and it was a priceless moment for fans. I was looking for the perfect reason to bring Bob back again and this TV legend turning 90 is the perfect reason."
Barker's one-day appearance will air on his birthday, December 12, during a week-long tribute. Honoring Barker's career as an animal rights activist, "Monday through Friday we're going to be doing pet adoptions, which is something Bob did on the show for years," Richards explains.
Barker will also help place a puppy up for adoption, he will also take part in a special Showcase presentation featuring prizes that honor the benefits of reaching 90. Such as? "Being treated well," Richards says. "And you'll be treated incredibly well on this trip to wherever... It's intended to show off just how hilarious Bob is and let him have a little fun. We couldn't be more excited!"
"The Price is Right" remains daytime's Number 1 show, Richards feels confident making one more announcement: "I'm officially extending an invitation to Bob to come back for his 100th birthday!"
It must be noted that things weren't always amicable between Barker and the show's producers. Hosting the show for 35 years, Barker was snubbed to participate in the game show's 40th anniversary special. Barker said the show's producers "chose to ignore me, which is fine."
Barker was shown in several clips but was not invited to appear on the program or attend the taping. "They haven't even offered me a DVD," Barker said at the time.
Barker thought he was omitted from the anniversary show "because I have been critical of them for giving away prizes that I consider inappropriate."
He complained to producers for awarding tickets to Sea World and the Calgary Stampede as prizes. Both organizations "are notorious for animal abuse," Barker said.
Drew Carey assumed Barkers' hosting duties following his retirement and has hosted the show since.

We've added a Watch List that showcases various DJs/Artists that we believe will be the next big thing. We still have that elegant WTF Videos page, because let's face it, they're fun to discover! Oh and playlists? Yes, we're much more dedicated to creating them and having them available to you!
Plus, we want to interact with you, #TMPnation, which is explained in more detail on our About page. You can also join the team now as a regular contributor, details on the Join Us! page. Finally, we hope you'll take a look at the new Media page for Facebook covers and custom design requests.

Magik's musical take on 'Rapunzel' is entertaining
By Deborah Martin : March 12, 2013
Photo By Courtesy David FrankAriel Rosen (from left) and James "Apollo" Bradley play a couple in Magik Theatre's "Rapunzel."
More Information
Art Beat fine arts blog
Magik Theatre
Poor Rapunzel.
Trapped in that tower all those years, with only an overprotective witch and her flowing blond hair for company, she has no knowledge of how things work on the outside. And so, when she does manage to escape from the tower with the aid of a handsome prince, she's bewildered by virtually everything.
David Crane and Marta Kauffman, who created the sitcom "Friends," have some fun with that idea in their adaptation of "Rapunzel," currently playing at Magik Theatre.
The cast, led by Ariel Rosen as the understandably tress-obsessed Rapunzel, shows strong comic timing across the board. Sam Weeks is particularly entertaining as Simon, traveling companion to Prince Brian (James "Apollo" Bradley). Simon is given the task of cozying up to the Witch (Angela Hoeffler) to distract her while the prince hatches a plan to set his beloved Rapunzel free.
The musical, staged on a charming set designed by Dave Morgan and Chris Boneta, doesn't quite have the snap of some of Magik's own creations. But it is entertaining.
"Rapunzel" can be seen at 9:45 and 11:30 a.m. Thursdays-Fridays, with additional shows at 7 p.m. Fridays and 2 p.m. Saturdays, through March 30 at Magik Theatre, 420 S. Alamo St. Call 210-227-2751 for reservations or visit magiktheatre.org to buy tickets online.

The defender had started all but one of Stanley's 21 games this season before the Gills clash, but was not even named on the bench at the weekend.
Richardson explained the 32-year-old needed a rest following a busy fixture schedule, but says he understands the frustrations of those left out of his team.
The Reds boss told the Lancashire Telegraph: "Peter doesn't deserve to not play. He's played a lot of games and I thought it would do the lad well to rest. That is the only reason Peter didn't play.
"He's been absolutely outstanding throughout the season, as have other lads who aren't playing and who aren't even getting a shirt at the minute.
"I do feel for them and if they stick with me and stick with us, all the better, because the lads need pushing and we need all the help we can get."

As was expected by most experts, the Toronto real estate market continues to improve over the difficult years of 2008 and the first part of 2009. In just the first two weeks of January, 1,749 homes were sold. Last year, only 888 homes were sold during that same period. It should be noted that this was when the housing market was suffering at its worst, so the numbers are going to be quite low for 2009 until about May when everything started to rebound.
The second half of 2009 was a time of surging real estate sales and prices, and that has continued into 2010. Record increases in sales were recorded from June to December 2009 when compared with June to December of 2008. However, while the January numbers for 2010 are looking good, they are below what was recorded in the first two weeks of 2008, when 1,776 homes were sold.
During the first two weeks of January, the average home price was $395,307, which is a big increase over the average home price of $332,495 during the same period in 2009. It is also above the average price for the first two weeks of 2008, which stood at $367,575. The reason that home prices are above what they were in 2008 is because there are currently more buyers than there are homes. The reason for this is because it takes time for the home builders and sellers to catch up with the trends, so until everything evens out it will be a seller's market and that drives up the prices. Bidding wars have become common in Toronto thanks to this disparity.
This is a big contrast to the United States which is still seeing housing prices and sales falling between December and January, which continues a trend that began in 2008 and seems to be continuing. It is expected that some time later in this year the American housing market may improve, and that may again help the Canadian real estate market improve more than it already has.
Homeowners in Toronto are still waiting and seeing if they want to list their homes. Many worry that they will list their home and the housing market will collapse, leaving them with low offers that they cannot accept. However, as the homeowners begin to get used to the improved housing market and get more confident in it, they will start listing their homes and this will bring prices down.
In June, the interest rate is going to be going up according to the Bank of Canada and that will also help slow the surging real estate market, but levels for the year are expected to remain high in terms of sales in Toronto.

Excellent, very easy to make
It wasn't bad. The cookies weren't noticeable. What was noticeable was the ketchup flavor imparted by the chili sauce. I used the Heinz kind, perhaps it meant Asian chili sauce? I can see this dish being tangy with an Asian chili sauce and the gingery cookies...but as it was, it was nothing special and in fact, we can't eat the carrots because of the ketchup flavor. (Though, that isn't bothersome on the meat and potatoes as ketchup is a usual flavor there.) I probably won't make it again but I am glad I tried it, I think I'll just add ground ginger to my usual pot roast recipe to create the flavor I was imagining here. Thanks for the recipe!

Downtown agreement approved
OXFORD — Commissioners have approved a memorandum of understanding with the Downtown Oxford Economic Development Corporation.
The agreement will continue the city's working relationship with the DOEDC. The board approved a memorandum of understanding with DOEDC to outline the services of Julia Stovall Overton as part-time downtown economic development director.
At its November meeting, the board approved funding for the position. In the memo, the city agrees to pay Overton $1,500 per month. The agreement covers the period from Nov. 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013. Mayor Pro Tem Danny Currin reported that the DOEDC had approved the agreement.
Currin also announced that Tanya Weary, director of the Small Business Center at Vance-Granville Community College, would hold a seminar on Jan. 16 to help small businesses meet tax requirements.
The commissioners approved a contract with Granville County to dispose of leachate from the county's landfill. Leachate can consist of many different compounds including phenols, pesticides, solvents and heavy metals.
Because the county does not have the capability of treating and disposing leachate, it asked the city to provide the service. Monthly charges to the county will be based on the combination of quantity and strength of leachate disposed.
The commissioners adopted a resolution calling for voluntary water conservation due to the low water level at Kerr Lake. The corps of engineers has declared a drought because of the lack of significant rainfall throughout the Roanoke River Basin.
On the recommendation of interim City Manager Leonard Barefoot and City Attorney Thomas Burnette, the commissioners voted to extend the termination date of the Outside Fire Protection Corporation through Feb. 28, 2013, to allow the corporation time to reorganize. The contract was scheduled to terminate in December 2012.
The board and city staff went through a discussion of internal auditing requirements. Commissioner Frank Strickland asked about quarterly auditing of various funds, specifically the drug and alcohol fund. Mayor Jackie Sergent instructed Barefoot to check on requirements for an internal audit and report back to the board.
In a special ceremony, Finance Director Steve McNally presented a plaque to Phyllis Blackwell, who was recognized as the state's Outstanding Business License Official for 2012 by the N.C. Association of Business License Officials.
McNally added, "That's the good news. The bad news is she has decided she is going to retire at the end of this month."
Barefoot provided an update on the searches for a city manager and a fire chief. He said the list of applicants for city manager has almost been whittled down to the number to be invited for interviews. In reference to the other search, he said, "I hope to have a fire chief in place by January first or soon after."
The board will meet in closed session at the Thornton Library on Monday at 1 p.m. and Wednesday at 1 p.m. regarding the city manager search.
On the recommendation of the staff and the Public Works Committee, the board approved paying an additional $12,840 to Dewberry & Davis, Inc. for services related to bidding, rebidding, redesign and construction on the splash pad and water main projects being funded as part of the Raleigh Street Revitalization Project.
The board heard the following reports:
• Quarterly meeting of the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments, by Commissioner Robert Williford.
• Monthly finance report, by McNally.
The commissioners approved two public hearings to be held in conjunction with the Jan. 8 meeting of the board:
• To hear public comments on a proposal to amend the Oxford Zoning Ordinance requiring family care homes to have a ½-mile separation from an existing family care home.
• To hear public comments on a proposal to amend the Oxford Zoning Ordinance to require developers to provide curbs, gutters and sidewalks on both sides of the street.

GED Classes (Academics)
PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. – Central Arizona College is gearing up for another year of helping students earn their General Educational Development (GED) diploma at several locations throughout western Pinal County this fall semester. GED classes will be divided into two eight-week periods and are currently provided at no cost for Arizona residents. The first session begins on August 20 and the second session will begin on October 11.
PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. – The Central Arizona College Lifelong Learner's (C.A.L.L.) program has a full slate of activities scheduled this fall as it expands its reach throughout Pinal County. "C.A.L.L. is an enrichment program for adult learners of any age without regard to previous education," Vera Walters, the program's coordinator, said. "C.A.L.L. provides its members with a variety of informal, low-cost, high-quality classes, study groups and field trips."
Student Services (Superstition Mountain)
APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz. – The Old West Highway in Apache Junction will be scurrying with activity as Central Arizona College's Superstition Mountain Campus braces for the rush of students needing help with starting a new semester. Beginning August 6 and running through December 5, Central's Student Services at Superstition Mountain will extend its hours to accommodate students needing help with registration, advisement, orientation and class schedules.
Community Events
PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. – The nation's largest bookseller has now opened two new locations at a pair of Central Arizona College campuses. After late-June renovation projects at the former bookstore locations on the Superstition Mountain and Signal Peak campuses, Barnes & Noble unlocked its doors for business on July 2 for both the students of the college and residents of Pinal County.
Community Project
COOLIDGE, AZ – Retrieving directions from an online mapping website to get to Central Arizona College's Signal Peak Campus from towns like Sacaton, Chandler, Queen Creek and Gilbert generally result in an as-the-crow-flies set of instructions. And crows tend to fly right down bumpy Signal Peak Road, the same dirt trail that is the closest connection between the campus and State Route 87 – the main route from Coolidge to Maricopa County.
Eastern Pinal County GED & ESL Classes (Academics)
WINKELMAN, Ariz. - Registration for Central Arizona College's English Language Acquisition for Adults (ELAA or ESL) and General Educational Development (GED) classes begins this Wednesday, August 8, at its Aravaipa Campus outside of Winkelman.

On April 13, the CFPB issued Bulletin 2012-3, which states the CFPB's expectation that supervised banks and nonbanks have an effective process for managing the risks of service provider relationships. In a press release announcing the Bulletin, the CFPB promised to "take a close look at service providers' interactions with consumers" and "hold all appropriate companies accountable when legal violations occur." According to the Bulletin, the CFPB expects supervised institutions to (i) conduct thorough due diligence to verify that a service provider understands and is capable of complying with the law, (ii) request and review a service provider's policies, procedures, internal controls, and training materials to ensure that the service provider conducts appropriate training and oversight of employees or agents that have consumer contact or compliance responsibilities, (iii) include in the contract with a service provider clear expectations about compliance, as well as appropriate and enforceable consequences for violating any compliance-related responsibilities; (iv) establish internal controls and on-going monitoring to determine whether a service provider is complying with the law, and (v) take prompt action to address fully any problems identified through the monitoring process.
