BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Cody Zeller scored 22 points and Remy Abell added a career-high 14 to lead No. 1 Indiana past pesky North Dakota State 87-61 on Monday night.
This was no typical game for the Hoosiers (2-0), whose offense struggled to get in sync against the foul-prone Bison (1-1).
Rather than allowing Indiana to run its up-tempo, inside-out offense, the Bison slowed things down by challenging shots and repeatedly sending Indiana to the free-throw line. And with Indianas shooters struggling in the first half, the game plan worked.
Everything changed early in the second half. Zeller and Abell combined for 15 points in a 23-13 run, finally turning the contest into a rout.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Tarik Black had 18 points and seven rebounds to lead Memphis to a victory over North Florida.
Memphis (1-0), which overcame a sluggish start in its season opener, eventually pulled away from North Florida in the middle stages of the first half and coasted through the second half.
Joe Jackson finished with 14 points, six rebounds and six assists, while Antonio Barton, who keyed Memphis rally, scored 11 points.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Garrick Sherman had 22 points and seven rebounds to lead Notre Dame to a victory over Monmouth. Jack Cooley added 16 points for the Irish (2-0) and Pat Connaughton had 13.

{Guest Post} How to Choose a Bridal Bouquet That Suits You
Today, we're excited to bring you a guest post from Patricia Hall of London-based Serenata Flowers. As someone who loves to surround herself with flowers and involve herself with everything flora and fauna, Patricia's what you would call a flower connoisseur, and we're thrilled she's offered to share her expertise with us. Enjoy…
Choosing the right bouquet for your wedding can be a difficult and daunting task. You want something that will compliment your gown, body style and theme, as well as have a special meaning to you and your groom. When it comes to style, brides have three main choices — cascade, nosegay and arm sheaf.
Cascade bouquets are the most formal and traditional type of bouquet. Shaped like waterfalls and rounded at the top, cascades have a stream of flowers and greenery that flow over the bride's hand.
Nosegays are a shorter, more rounded bouquet. They are flexible enough to be used in either formal or casual weddings and consist of sparsely packed flowers that incorporate more greenery, giving emphasis to the flowers, petals and stems.
Arm sheaf bouquets are ideal for more chic and modern ceremonies. As a presentation bouquet, an arm sheaf is made with long-stemmed flowers and is cradled alongside the bride's inner arm.
Each of these styles can be customized to fit the bride's body style, gown, venue and sentimental preferences.
Style Considerations
Body style is a key factor in considering the width of the bouquet. Fuller figured women will benefit from a larger, more rounded bouquet. Smaller bouquets can exaggerate width, while larger bouquets can make the bride appear slimmer. Petite brides should consider a scaled-down bouquet that will accent her tiny physique, while shorter brides can also consider going with a sheath or large teardrop bouquet that will add the illusion of length. Large posy or medium teardrop bouquets will compliment a taller bride by drawing the eye down and giving the bride's height a more even appearance.
A good rule of thumb is the larger the gown, the larger the bouquet. Coordinate the size of you dresses. A ball gown, though not long, has a grand shape that can easily swallow smaller bouquets. Slim line sheaths are better complimented by smaller, lighter bouquets that don't hide your bouquet with the length of your gown or train. Smaller, more casual bouquets are a better compliment to informal dresses, while long-stemmed formal bouquets work better with fuller, more elaborate dresses. Heavily embellished gowns are best complimented by a simpler bouquet. Too many blooms or embellishments can make your ensemble look busy or overstated.
Consider your venue when choosing the style of bouquet, as well as the flowers and greenery. An elaborate venue can make smaller bouquets seem insignificant. Choose larger, rounded bouquets or an elaborate cascade in flowers that compliment your setting or theme. Larger bouquets in a smaller venue can overpower the space. A scaled down cascade bouquet or sleek and simple nosegay in a single flower can be the perfect compliment to a smaller venue wedding. Outdoor wedding bouquets should compliment the surroundings. Smaller, hand-tied bouquets are a perfect compliment to intimate backyard weddings, while grander cascading bouquets are ideal for beach and large garden venues.
Flowers, Colors and Embellishments
Choose flowers that are either aesthetically pleasing or have a special meaning to you. An iris carries a message of faith and wisdom, while lilacs are a symbol of love's first emotion. Roses, tulips and orchids convey a message of love, joy, beauty and passion, while hydrangeas and chrysanthemums are symbols of understanding, wealth, abundance and truth.
Colors can either coordinate with the theme of the wedding or be a unique way to convey the sentiment that best represents your union. Red and ivy are a great way to represent love and passion, while whites and yellows indicate purity and fidelity.
You can personalize your bouquet even further by incorporating precious mementos. Pin family heirlooms, like brooches and earrings to the bouquet, or make the wrap out of strip of fabric that has special meaning — your mother's wedding dress or the outfit you wore on your first date with the groom. You can also accent your bouquet with accessories that match the theme, like sea shells and starfish for a beach theme, or butterflies and ladybugs for a garden wedding.
Discuss with your florist which flowers are in season and which ones are going to be more difficult to get. Find out how long it takes to have your flowers delivered and in what condition your florist's supplier will be sending flowers in. Keep in mind that flowers often arrive to the florist not quite in bloom. You will want to allow plenty of time to ensure that your flowers are in full bloom for your big day.

[...] Cascade wedding bouquets come with a wonderful representation. In general, they are made to be alike to a blossoms' waterfall. There is no doubt that these bouquets are charming nevertheless not all brides are able to have a good look on them. The cascade bouquet is larger than a number of kinds of bouquets. As a result, it looks more complementing to brides with tall height and has on a wedding dress with a plainer design. Opting for a cascade bouquet must think about whether it goes well with the color and the size of the bridal dress you are having on. Even though it is exceptional, it wouldn't be much of a compliment if it wouldn't go harmoniously with your wedding dress. You should recognize that the two must go well. Cascade wedding bouquets are a mixture of different flowers such as orchids, calla lilies, stephanotis, and greenery. [...]Reply

Tom Richardson to stand down as Gloucestershire cricket chief executive
Posted: January 25, 2013|
Tom Richardson is to stand down from his post as Gloucestershire chief executive at the end of the 2013 county season.
And the club is already pushing ahead with plans to find a dynamic replacement.
Appointed as successor to Colin Sexstone, Richardson has guided Gloucestershire during good and bad times for 12 years.
He presided over the county's Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy title triumphs in 2003 and 2004 and played an integral part in pushing through a multi-million pound scheme to redevelop the club's Nevil Road headquarters in Bristol.
Having seen that project through almost to fruition, he feels the time is right for him to stand down and pursue other interests.
Richardson commented: "It is a logical break point as we aim to have completed the development of the pavilion and media centre at the end of July.
"I have hugely enjoyed my time at Gloucestershire County Cricket Club and feel privileged to have been involved for so long.
"Clearly getting started on the development has been a major lift for the club and I am really pleased to have played a full part in that.
"There is a real buzz about the place at the moment and whilst, in some ways, it will be sad not to be involved next year it is time for me to move on.
"However, all that said, there is a lot to achieve in order to be ready for both the season and the opening of the pavilion and I am really looking forward to doing all of that."
Gloucestershire chairman Rex Body said: "We are very sorry to see Tom go and greatly appreciate everything he has done for us during his time with the Club.
"We do, however, fully understand his reasons for going at this time.
"Tom's value to Gloucestershire cannot be overestimated, particularly the work he has done on our ground development programme in, at times, extremely difficult circumstances.
"I am extremely grateful to Tom for all that he has achieved for us and I have enjoyed working with him during my years on the executive board and as chairman.
"I am delighted that he will remain associated with the club by taking on a role in our Youth Trust activities once he leaves his post."
Gloucestershire are set to begin the search for a new chief executive as early as next week.
A committee is to be formed to identify Richardson's successor and the requirement is for a chief executive with a commercial background.

Almost 10 months after issuing a request for proposals, the Horizon Project Foundation board will meet today to potentially pick a firm to oversee a proposed $1 billion redevelopment on the Charleston peninsula's west side.
If you go
Today's Horizon Project Foundation board meeting will be held at the former S.C. Research Authority building at 5300 International Blvd., in North Charleston. It starts at 10:30 a.m. and is open to the public.
The choice is between Greenville-based Hughes Development Corp. and Atlanta-based Gateway Development Services Inc.
The board's selection committee ranked the two finalists at a meeting Friday. Michael Maher, director of the city's Civic Design Center and chairman of the Horizon selection committee, wouldn't say which the panel favored.
He did say Tuesday that the board is likely go along with the selection committee's recommendation and authorize its operations committee to begin negotiating with that first pick.
"I would expect that to happen," said Maher, who is also a member of the operations committee but not the board. But, he added, "I never want to assume anything."
Neither company returned calls for comment Tuesday.
A memorandum of understanding between Horizon and the master developer would provide the framework for the next steps in the process, including who will own the land and how the buildings will be funded, Maher said.
"It kind of lays out more of the road map of how to move forward to get the first phase of the property under way," he said Tuesday.
Delayed for years by the recession and other hurdles, the Horizon pro- ject was revived last July with a request for proposals that drew six interested companies by the November due date.
The vision is to transform the largely empty area bounded by Lockwood Drive, Hagood Avenue and Fishburne and Spring streets, into some 2 million square feet of apartments, offices and research space over the next couple of decades. The city created a special tax district for the project in 2008 with the intention of raising money to pay for public roads, sidewalks and other utilities.
Maher said if negotiations with the first-choice developer don't work out, the operations committee would likely turn its attention to the other company.

Managing Climate Change Risk in Forests:
How Can We Use Silviculture and Genetics to Minimize Potential Problems?
While debate swirls around us about the policies
and politics of climate change, land managers must stay focused
on our responsibility to maintain healthy and productive forests.
Much of the discussion about forests and climate change has centered
on carbon budgets and the possibilities of income from carbon credits.
However, if projections by climatologists are accurate, forest landowners
may have problems maintaining the health and productivity of their
stands. The difficulty for land managers is that either under-reacting
or over-reacting to the uncertainty about future climate can be
disadvantageous—we need to strike a balance. This workshop
takes a look at climate uncertainty in terms of managing risk. After
an introduction to the scientific basis for climate projections
and possible implications, speakers will focus on what techniques
land managers should consider to maintain forest health and productivity
in the face of uncertainty.
The workshop which was a joint initiative of the Taskforce
on Adapting Forests to Climate Change and the Western Forestry
and Conservation Association was held on November 12, 2008 in Portland,
OR. Click on the workshop
title to access talks presented at
the workshop.
We presented eight talks ranging
from an overview of the scientific bases of climate change
to silvicultural and genetic options for adaptation.

Current coastal management practices are ineffective and their continuation endangers ecosystems that support the economies on which over half the worlds population depend, United Nations University experts warn in a new report offering a major prescription for sweeping change.
In a blunt assessment, to be presented Weds. June 4 at UN Headquarters, New York, UNUs Canadian-based International Network on Water, Environment and Health warns of a looming, potentially terminal disaster in several coastal areas unless we introduce much more effective management immediately.
Coastal marine ecosystems have declined progressively in recent decades due to the growth of human populations and their demands on the marine environment and resources, according to the report.
Bays and estuaries, sea grasses, and mangroves and wetlands have suffered dramatically in the past 50 years. Shorelines have hardened, channels and harbors have been dredged, soil dumped, submerged and emergent land moved, and patterns of water flow modified. And today climate change is starting to add further stress, leading some scientists to predict the total disappearance of coral reefs in some parts of the world.
It is a recipe for disaster for the 40% of all people today who live within 50 km of fast-growing coastal areas, according to the report, co-authored by UNU-INWEHs Assistant Director Peter Sale and Programme Officer Hanneke Van Lavieren; Mark J. Butler IV, Old Dominion University, Virginia; Anthony J. Hooten, AJH, Environmental Services, Bethesda, MD; Jacob P. Kritzer, Senior Scientist, Environmental Defense Fund, Boston, MA; Ken Lindeman, Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne FL; Prof. Yvonne Sadovy de Mitcheson, University of Hong Kong; and Prof. Bob Steneck, University of Maine.
It is past time to implement truly integrated coastal zone management around the world, says UNU-INWEH Director Zafar Adeel. Management must be scaled a

All-American desserts
We just confirmed that our Chinese cohorts over in Shanghai (well, two of them at least) are finally confirmed as being able to come next week and will be here for about two weeks, learning and watching, et cetera.
Neither of them has been to the US before, and we think that they might be willing try to some fun American-style foods. So, on that note, my supervisor is having us organize a potluck, and as usual, I volunteered for dessert duty. Since there are about 25 of us total, I thought that I would make a couple of things, but now the decision comes as to what to make. I know that Chinese people don't generally have the same overly developed sweet tooth that we do here, so I don't want to force them to try something that would be really sweet or syrupy. Likewise, I am under certain constraints, so anything refrigerated or frozen is likely out.
On that note, what would you recommend? Apple pie? Chocolate chip cookies? Pumpkin Pie (less sweet)?
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

The 20-year-old failed to make a first-team appearance for the Hammers during his rise through the ranks at Upton Park but did enjoy time at Aldershot and Crewe on loan last season.
And Bees Head Coach Mark Robson has welcomed Brown to his ranks having fought off competition from rival clubs for his signature.
Robson told Barnet's official website: "Jordan is a player I've known about for a while now. He's had a good upbringing at West Ham - both on and off the pitch.
"He is a very promising player and was unfortunate not to feature more in the West Ham first team as he played a few times in pre-season last year. With all the players they brought in he never really got an opportunity.
"But that can only be a good thing for us as I really want to help him develop and prosper as a Bee and I believe he will do that here."

Once summer hits, finding the right shirt for your group becomes difficult, especially if you live in a hotter climate. For many women, a custom tank top is much more welcome than a full sleeved t-shirt when the temps start creeping above 90 degrees consistently. With our wide array of customizable ladies tanks, you can find the exact shirt you need for your next event.
The days of one-style-fits-all custom custom ladies tanks and ladies tank tops are long gone. Today's custom ladies tanks offer great styling, new colors and fashion. For many years ladies tank tops have been built perfectly for men, a boxy square cut that makes you look thicker and broader shouldered. Unfortunately it is exactly what today's lady does not want to look like.
Our custom ladies tanks are cut with a woman's silhouette in mind. Great for businesses that typically embrace the trendy lifestyle, such as hair salons, spas, restaurants, night clubs and health clubs. Now tailored feminine styling the ecompass fit, style and color all in one ladies tank top. Ladies are generally 20% smaller than men so logos should be rendered proportionate to the wearer's size. They'll still look the same size and they won't overpower the garment.
A Note About Young Ladies/Juniors Sizes:
Some of our custom ladies tanks and ladies tank tops below are available in junior's sizes. Juniors sizes are smaller than adult sizes and are otherwise
noted in our product descriptions. They are comparable to women's size 4 through 7 and are worn fitted.
Once the ladies tank tops were white, basic, unisex and nearly single-purpose. Todays custom ladies tanks offer great styling, new colors and fashion and women's only sizing. When coupled with custom screenprinted or embroidery treatments, our custom ladies tank tops are a great way to promote company identity and to boost employee and team morale.

Former PCB Chairman, Najam Sethi spoke on a TV Channel earlier today.
"I went to represent Pakistan in the ICC meeting in Dubai after receiving the letter from their President."
"That meeting was not on the agenda and was requested by the BCCI, ECB and ACB."
"We were told that it's very confidential and the three boards will present agenda ideas."
"I contacted the WICB and they were also not aware of that."
"They thought it's regarding revenue sharing and the control of the ICC."
"I tried again with other boards, but never got to know the real deal."
"They want to run the ICC and their affairs."
"As India, Australia and England generate the most revenue, they want more money than other boards."
"We went to the meeting and before the meeting, I found out that another meeting between the ICC, BCCI, ACB and ECB was already underway."
"After that meeting, we were also allowed to join, which gave me a clue that there was something fishy."
"In that meeting, ECB's representative presented the new formula."
"Srinavasan came forward and then the ACB President had their turn and they showed us the new formula via some charts."
"We were told that if we are getting Rs.10 now, after the new formula, we will be getting more than 10."
"They said they would get the most money as they generate the maximum revenue."
"After they had stopped presenting, they asked us to question and believe you me, nobody spoke. We were speechless."
"I looked at the BCB and they had their head down, the NZCB were looking here and there and the WICB didn't even send their President as they didn't want to get humiliated. They sent their vice-President."
"SLCB was also spellbound and there were two representative from each board."
"COO Mr. Subhan Ahmed was also there with me. He was also quiet."
"I stepped up and asked Giles Clarke, who started the briefing, about it."
"I said to him that all this talk of yours reminds me of the United Nations."
"There are 5 vito powers in the UN and they run all global politics in their favour."
"I said this is reversal to the ICC and you want to have vito powers."
"He said to me that yes, you are right and we want the powers because we have the right."
"They will run the ICC, earn the most money and every cricket board will have to listen to them."
"I warned him that this is not a democratic structure and will not go well."
"He was speechless and Srinavasan started speaking that the BCCI generates the most revenue and if they stop playing, the ICC would be doomed."
"Star, SONY, Ten Sports etc. are Indian broadcasters and they have the highest bids."
"He said to me that the PCB will not get benefits from it."
"Giles Clarke said that if you guys don't accept the offer, we will part ways."
"No other board was speaking there and just I was speaking. Other boards were asking me not to speak."
"They were planning this model secretly for the last 6 months."
"They didn't include us as the BCCI were not on the same page as we were."
"The other boards were not invited to the secret meeting as it would have created a fuss."
"They gave us the deadline of a week to answer to this offer and I objected."
"We are not even getting international matches to host, so I had to object."
"They will offer the PCB, SLCB and BCB etc. a lot of money."
"They will continue cricket ties with us and use us as bait."
"What if their government doesn't allow us to play with them and vice versa?"
"They said if they host our series, they will earn 100% revenue and when they play away with us, they will still earn 70% revenue."
"There is very little resistance in Bangladesh and they are pro-India."
"They have sidelined Sri Lanka and want Bangladesh and Afghanistan to join us."
"We will have to consult all boards and their media to try and resist this formula."
"According to the current formula, in the next eight years all boards will get 117 Million dollars each."
"According to the new formula, India will be getting 500% more money, England 75%, Australia 15% more, while Pakistan, South Africa etc. will get 30% less."
"The affiliate and associate nations will get nothing at all."
"We will not be able to help other countries like China etc."
"If they think they can play cricket without South Africa, Pakistan and West Indies, they are mistaken."
"South Africa are No.1, Pakistan are rising and West Indies used to dominate cricket."
"They will only play for two years and after that, they will be finished."
