Taking the Next Step
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. - The West Virginia wrestling team, which is comprised of grapplers from eight separate states and one foreign country, has many different and unique individual personalities.
None, though, may be the true embodiment of a Mountaineer more than junior Shane Young.
Just as what is typically associated with WVU's mascot, Young can be found spending his down time in the woods hunting, near the water fishing, or listening to country music prior to his matches.
Some of Young's teammates even affectionately refer to him as the team's "redneck", but don't let Young's hobbies and intricacies fool you, as he has become quite the accomplished wrestler in his time with the Mountaineers.
The 125 pounder boasts a career record of 57-23 and has qualified for the NCAA Tournament in both his freshman and sophomore seasons.
"When you are recruiting, you are always trying to get that person that is going to be the next national champion or All-American," said coach Craig Turnbull. "With the background that Shane had, that put him in a very elite category."
Young's path to success began just outside of Pittsburgh, Pa., at Penn Trafford High School. While there, Young was a three-time WPIAL champion, was the three-time state champion, was named the 2009 Tribune-Review Wrestler of the Year and was tabbed as the nation's 14th best recruit by InterMat.
After a highly successful high school career, Young made the decision to attend WVU.
Right from the start, coach Craig Turnbull and his coaching staff saw the potential that Young possessed.
"We believed that if we provided him with the right experiences, and he progressed at an adequate rate, he would compete to be an All-American and have a realistic goal of winning a national championship," Turnbull said.
In his first year with the Mountaineers, Young proved that Turnbull's view for talent was spot on. He finished the year with an impressive freshman record of 16-10, defeated an opponent ranked in the top ten and qualified for the NCAA Championships. At the national tournament, Young lost both of his matches.
In Young's second year, his achievements were even greater, as he compiled a 28-10 overall record, qualified for the NCAA Championships for a second time and was ranked as high as No. 18 in the country. Yet again though, Young lost to both of his opponents at the national tournament.
"I didn't really think too much about the success I was having," said Young. "I just went and wrestled and didn't think too much about trying to have success. It was disappointing to go to nationals twice and not come away with anything, though."
Following the completion of his sophomore season, Young put his nose to the grindstone and spent last summer in Morgantown in order to try and advance past the losses at the national tournament in his previous two trips.
"Being in the Morgantown throughout the summer was key," Young said. "I trained throughout the summer, and I also tried to get in extra workouts when I could."
Strength and conditioning coordinator Darl Bauer remarked throughout the summer and at the beginning of the season that Young has constantly been one of the hardest working wrestlers in the weight room.
With the summer of hard training behind him, Young got off to yet another dominant start this season, as he holds a 13-3 overall record as the Mountaineers prepare for a visit from Maryland.
"I want to be at the top of the podium by the time I am done in the next two years," Young said. "This year I want to be there for sure."
Although many tough matches lie ahead for Young, Turnbull can envision him standing on the podium at the end of the year as one of the nation's elite wrestlers.
"In many ways, we hoped for and believed, that knowing his unrelenting work ethic, he was going to progress very quickly," Turnbull said. "He is now in the position to achieve those things."

The Twittersphere, at first, is speechless.

See if VLC will play the DVD (not the files, load it as a DVD), as the computer doesn't care about the ISO vs UDF mode burn -- only the standalone DVD player will.

Candidate's wife douses Miami reporter with water
Senior Political Reporter Michael Putney reporting on FBI probe into congressman's relationship
CUTLER BAY, Fla. - A Miami senior political reporter was doused with water after he asked for comment about an FBI investigation into the relationship between a U.S. Congressman and another politician.
Local 10 Miami reporter Michael Putney knocked on the candidate's door and noticed a sign warning, "Trespassers leave -- or get wet." He didn't leave and got wet.
A woman, presumably the candidate's wife, opened the door, splashed a pitcher of water on Putney and then slammed the door shut.
Putney went to the home hoping to get some answers about an investigation into a Republican incumbent who is accused of secretly funneling money to a Democratic candidate in an attempt to plant a ringer candidate in the district's August primary election.

Amgen Tour of California Stage 7; One-two for RadioShack through Leipheimer and Horner
Three-time winner Leipheimer wins on Mount Baldy as Horner looks certain to win overall
Previous News
There may still be one stage to go of the Amgen Tour of California, but yesterday's Stage 7 pretty much saw a coronation of this year's probable winner with Levi Leipheimer, three times victor in this event, winning the stage and congratulating overall leader and RadioShack team mate Chris Horner as they crossed the line together on the summit of Mount Baldy.
The order in which the two RadioShack riders crossed the line is the reverse of that in Wednesday's Stage 4, when Horner took the race leader's jersey from Team Sky's Greg Henderson.
The 39-year-old now lies 38 seconds ahead of Leipheimer, two years his junior, on the general classification, with Tom Danielson of Garmin Cervelo more than two minutes further back.
With today's eighth and final stage featuring a flat, five-lap closing circuit at Thousand Oaks that will almost certainly result in a sprint finish, yesterday's performance in all likelihood seals Horner's win.
"Our team was perfect today," explained stage winner Leipheimer. "You don't get to experience that much in professional cycling. To experience a day where everyone clicks was incredible. There wasn't a lot of talking between us today because we knew exactly what each person on the team was doing; we didn't need a lot of communication today.
"The team had a solid performance and everyone did their jobs; it was just a really special and amazing day. The work they did really allowed me to win. There was never a threat, so I was able to ride for a stage win with Chris on my wheel. I really have to thank the boys for that."
Early on in the stage, a nine-man break got away, including two riders from Garmin Cervelo, Ryder Hesjedal and Andrew Talansky, who forced the pace at the front of the race, as well as a man very much in the news, BMC Racing's George Hincapie. Behind, RadioShack led the chasing group as they sought to protect Horner's race lead.
On the final climb of Mount Baldy, however, the breakaway split apart, with Alexander Efimkin of Team Type 1-sanofi remaining alone at the front of the race.
Further back, as they approached the foot of the climb, there were just six riders in pursuit – Horner, Leipheimer and Radio Shack colleagues Dmitry Muravyev and Matt Busche, plus Rabobank's Laurens Ten Dam and Leopard Trek's Andy Schleck.
"We hit the final part of Mt. Baldy with Dmitry out in front, and he had done a lot the last seven to eight miles," explained Horner. "He got us all the way through at the bottom of the hill and then we started the climb.
"Then, the young Matt Busche took over and he was very, very impressive. I cannot stress how impressive he was today. He is a year and a half pro and while his experience is very limited, his riding ability is really high. "
When we were down to maybe five riders in the field, Levi (Leipheimer) went up there and told him to punch it and he punched it one last time. From there it was hopping on the Levi train and riding it all the way to the line," he added.
Today's stage eight covers 132.4km from Santa Clarita to Thousand Oaks, just North of Los Angeles, including two testing climbs, Balcolm Canyon and the Norwegian Grade, ahead of the closing circuit where Team Sky's Ben Swift will be one of the sprinters hopeful to close the race with a win.

Jersey Shore
Jersey Shore Season 5 Finale Recap: There's No Place Like the Shore House
It was hard to watch this week's episode of Jersey Shore (Season 5, Episode 11: "We Are Family") without getting sad that this is the last time we'll see this current incarnation. Whether or not the show returns for a sixth season, the show won't be the same without our Snooki, who either won't be returning at all or will only make guest appearances due to her pregnancy. The last episode of the show's ho-hum fifth season kept it light with some pranks, some partying at Karma, and a Vinny triumph.
What Exactly Can Deena's Sister Do?
Snooki forgot all about her conflict with The Situation and the two went out for drinks together, where Mike gossiped like a church lady about the relationship between his brother Frank and Deena Nicole's sister Joanie. He told Snooki about a special skill Joanie allegedly has, that is only given to the "chosen ones." Is Joanie a Highlander? Is she in the Illumaniti? Whatever it is, even Snooki looked shocked, and Deena was not happy when she found out this rumor was going around. However, her plans for epic drama were thwarted when Frank and Joannie showed up at Karma, flush with the glow of new love. Apparently unspeakable acts are a way to a man's heart!
Vinny Is A Hero Amongst Men
While the boys have attempted to pick up lesbians before, Vinny was the first to pull it off, bringing two home from the club last night. First, he had to find a bed, since his prank with Pauly D rendered the house an even bigger mess than it usually is. Finally, Ronnie agreed to help with the Mission and Vinny was actually able to successfully smash both of them. It was all a fun, vaguely homophobic time. Vinny looked especially proud of himself, although I'm skeptical any actual smushing occurred.
There's No Place Like The Shore House
It was especially bittersweet to have Snooki close us out last night as she said goodbye to the smash room ("Goodbye STDs") and poured herself a shot, toasting herself on the deck. She asks us, "What am I going to do with my life now?" and we already know the answer to that question.
As for the rest of the gang, you can't help but feel a bit sorry for them and their millions of dollars in club appearance fees. The Situation remained true to his creepy self, stirring up drama until the last moment. Pauly D, with a new spin-off coming out, remains trapped in perpetual boydom, still finding it hilarious to wake up his roommates (JWOWW didn't seem to think so) by walking on them. Vinny, who bailed in the middle of the season, was picked up by his mother, and probably continues to escape to her when things get tough, and Jenni, finally happy got picked up by a gentlemanly Roger.
Sammi and Ronnie left the house like a normal couple, after finishing a normal summer, much to everyone's delight. There might be hope for those two yet. (Except we now know that they break up soon after Season 5 wrapped.) And finally we have Deena, desperately trying to make a name for herself in the house and failing. At least she has her push up bra to make her feel better, like she did last night.
Whether or not the show returns for another season, at least we'll have a strange bunny costume to remind us of the final hurrah.
Catch the reunion special for Jersey Shore on Thursday, March 22 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Thanks to everyone for the awesome advice on yesterday's post, especially the personal experiences, tips, and tricks. I'll try to keep it all in mind when I go to the doctor (probably Monday), and I'll be sure to keep things posted here.
In lighter news, DH and I finally caught a movie this summer. I really wanted to see Brave before it left theaters. I generally like Pixar movies. D isn't much for movies, but he did come along this time. I really enjoyed Brave. The story was - a bit predictable - but beautifully crafted into a traditional fairytale for the modern day kid or kid-at-heart.
While I may not have a skirt made in my family's tartan, but I did have a plaid skirt. This morning it stormed and stormed, but was sunny and a cool 80F by noon, so I was able to happily toss on ankle boots and this lined skirt. The heatwave may not be completely over but I can deal with high 80s/low 90s.
I did opt for my favorite scrollwork tee. I pretty much wear this tee every weekend, alternating between it and my plain black V-neck unless I'm doing something special. I like graphic tees for working in because they're easy to wash. Do you have a favorite tee?

Hundreds gather for annual Easter egg hunt
Boys and Girls Club fills 10,000 eggs
Chugiak's Johanna LeProwse, 2, looks at the Easter Bunny as she plays in a pile of hay following the annual egg hunt at Lions Park on Sunday, March 31.
How long does it take dozens of 4- to-6-year-olds to search out 3,000 plastic eggs filled with goodies?
About four minutes.
Hundreds turned out on a sun-filled Easter Sunday for Eagle River's annual community egg hunt at Lions Park on March 31. This year, 10,000 eggs were scattered across the ball fields, but they still disappeared in a hurry as three age groups of children trudged through deep, soft snow filling their baskets to the brim.
"They picked all those eggs up in no time flat," said Tracey Hupe, member of the Sleeping Lady Mountain Lions. "It was another successful year."
Along with the Lady Lions, the Chugiak and Eagle River Lions clubs, VFW Post 9785, Eagle River Elks Lodge, Eagle River Boys & Girls Club, Bear Mountain Leos and Anchorage Fire Department Station 11 all had a hand in putting on the annual event.
"It's a joint effort," Hupe said. "We wouldn't be able to do this without the support."
Boys & Girls Club members filled every egg with candy or tickets for prizes.
"They had fun doing it," said Hupe, the Eagle River club branch manager.
Seven kids were the recipients of more than candy and won the day's top prize — a new bike.
All the donations from local people, stores and organizations make the egg hunt possible, Hupe said.
"The community wants it and enjoys this type of cohesion," she said. "You can't ask for a better community."
For Hupe, who's volunteered the past four years, there's nothing better than watching the children's reactions as they furiously gather as many eggs as their baskets will hold.
"I love the kids," she said. "Just seeing the expression on their face.
"That's the only reason I do it."

The cake part of the cupcake is very dry and so dry as to be inedible a few hours after purchase. The huge mound of icing is way too sweet so most of remains uneaten. There are definitely better cupcakes in New York City!

My boyfriend and I went and tried 3 different types of cupcakes. I had a devil cupcake and chocolate with chocolate frosting and both the cake and frosting were so dry and unappealing I didn't finish either. My boyfriend had a red velvet cupcake which was really good and a chocolate chip cookie bar which was pretty okay. I was disappointed since I had heard such good things about the place and made a special trip to eat there and then I didn't even finish my dessert

they have the best rred velvet cupake and cake. the icing is sooo good. there's too much of it though so i usually wipe off half. and the red velvet cake is so pretty. their red velvet is 100times better than crumbs.

I sometimes stop by there in the morning to pick up a bun, and almost all the time, I experienced the staffs to be unfriendly. Staffs often seem angry and doing the least minimum to help me. I like the buns, but they are not good enough to tolerate the service.

Delicious place. Love their banana pudding!
Posted by Nichole on 09/14/2008
Went here because of all the hype, yet was slightly disappointed. All of their cupcakes basically taste the same: had a red velvet and a vanilla with chocolate and they tasted exactly the same. I feel they also have a strange after taste. They did have excellent service though, they were very polite and attentive, but I think I'd rather just buy a box of cake mix and make homemade cupcakes myself instead of paying $4 for a single cupcake.

The chocolate/chocolate cupcakes are out of this world. They taste like delicious, home made old fashioned cupcakes. When you eat one, it makes all of your problems less significant. Also delicious are the fruit bars, buttery with raspberry filling. Yum, yum, yum!

HTC EVO 3D and LG Optimus 3D Getting Android 4.0 Updates
Most users of 3D-capable smartphones such as the HTC EVO 3D and LG Optimus 3D (LG Thrill 4G) are anticipating the promised updates to the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system for their devices. Though some users of the HTC EVO 3D smartphones in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) already started getting the update at the end of June (the GSM version of the device), the users in the USA will still have to wait until early August to get the update available to them as well. If you've managed to get one of the HTC Evo V 4G smartphones in the USA, then you were lucky enough to get it with Android 4.0 as this is essentially the same as HTC EVO 3D, with 4G support, but coming directly with the new OS. Owners LG Optimus 3D, or LG Thrill 4G as it is named in the USA probably won't have to wait much more for the update as as well, because LG has promised it will be available in the third quarter of 2012. What was a bit of an unpleasant surprise was the release of the updated LG Optimus 3D MAX not that long ago and the fact that it did not come with the Ice Cream Sandwich pre-installed, but instead came with Android 2.3. Hopefully the MAX version of Optimus 3D will also get its update along with the earlier non MAX model, because the two devices are actually not that different from each other.
Now, the big question is if the update to Android 4.0 ICS will actually bring some significant improvements in the features and capabilities of these 3D-capable mobile devices, including in their stereoscopic 3D functionality or it will remain more of an upgrade of the core OS modules bringing improvements in the interface and speed of the device, and hopefully on battery life as well. Guess we'll have to wait a bit more for the updates to become widely available to see what new have both LG and HTC prepared for us, meanwhile has anyone actually seen a proper review of the new features in HTC EVO 3D after the update to Android 4.0, from someone in the EMEA region that already got the update available and installed?

it took 100% of my CPU time and the little the higher level OS took was too much. Likewise transferring them was really not feasible.
Fun times to be sure, I remember in '96 getting my hands on Telos's AudioActive software which ripped and encoded from a GUI. It was so streamlined that after seeing how productive it was, I ran out and got a brand-new P1 with 16 megs of RAM just to encode my library for months. Yeah it took a long time but no one else I knew even bothered with audio. Prior to that you were really limited doing WAVE files but on 4Gb drives what was the point? I would then archive all the files from the tiny 4Gb drive onto ZIP disks and thought that was cool.
I'll never forget going to get a new Maxtor 7200 RPM 20Gb hard-drive for over $300.00. Which naturally was filled up and ZIP drives were garbage. LaCie had a SCSI CD writer for like 500.00 and I blew through two of those in like 6 months. I stated running a website that had recorded shortwave radio shows encoded as mp3's with which I had an ISDN line(s) to support the upload (128kb up/down)... I look back and think about all the ca$h I spent just to be on the cutting edge, woulda made a great retirement account. I still have my early CD's from that period.

It's not surprising that it went away after a few choice trials (I seem to remember it was a geeky show on FOX). Now it seems some shows (Dexter?) are using their website or dedicated app to do those things now. Think of it as opting-in for the interactivity, those who want that can still have it.
My point is why step on the product with crap that takes away from from all that passivity...

Indeed, that is my feeling as well. They do have a lot of DVD's available which will never be on streaming AFAICT.
To get around that I have DirectTV with a bunch of DVR's and use their DirecTV2PC software to stream to any computer in the house.

Alect Squadron
this wiki
History Edit
The Alect Squadron first saw activity during the early days of the Aurelian War, although the extent of their operations back then are unknown. By the middle of the year, the unit's combat activities were nearly non-existent, possibly due to orders from Leasath high command.
Alect Squadron returned to the frontlines toward near the end of 2020. Days after the Aurelia's liberation of Griswall, the nation's capital, reconnaissance detected a massive Leasath military convoy heading to Archelon Fortress, the Leasath's military headquarters, through the northern Danern Straits. The convoy was spilit into two groups: one was a massive destroyer fleet, while the other was the Alect Squadron and their escorts.
Regardless of the player's choices in the storyline, the Alect Squadron will always be annihilated towards the end of the storyline, although the circumstances of their death will vary according to the player's choices.
Ending A - Alect Squadron Edit
Frontline intelligence informs that a Leasath fighter formation is moving through the northern coastline towards Archelon Fortress, Leasath's final stronghold, while a report from a sympathizer from behind enemy lines states that the fighter formation is actually the Alect Squadron and their escorts. The Aurelian Air Force decide to stage an ambush at the Danern Straits, hoping to annihilate the Alect Squadron before they reach Archelon.
Gryphus Squadron, alongside the Falco Squadron then head towards the Danern Straits, intercepting the Leasath fighter formation. A fierce dogfight between the aircraft of both nations breaks out, an over-confident Alect Squadron soon joining the fray. The battle led to the death of all Alect Squadron's pilots and a swift Aurelian victory.
Ending B - End of Deception II Edit
The Alect Squadron managed to arrive at Archelon Fortress, upon which they were outfitted with the Fenrir, and its Optical Stealth. A short time later, Gryphus 1 and Aurelian forces assaulted Archelon Fortress. Unfortunately, Alect Squadrons skill, coupled with the capabilities of the Fenrir, which proved to be near-impossible to defeat even for Gryphus 1. A small Aurelian landing unit managed to bypass naval defenses and land on the island. They then exposed the Microwave Transmitter, granted Gryphus 1 a window to destroy this facility in order to disable the Fenrir's DOS. Gryphus 1 was then able to destroy Alect and all Leasath fighters. If Gryphus 1 didn't destroy the transmitter in time, under heavy retaliation, landing unit would retreat for a while then reclaimed this structure again to allow it to be destroyed from air. After all Fenrirs were destroyed, a single one attempted to escape the fortress. Gryphus 1 entered the fortress and destroyed it, along with all the other incompleted Fenrirs and a single U-2 Dragon Lady. Gryphus 1 flew out of Archelon Fortress as it exploded.
- The Alect Squadron uses a paint scheme that is similar to the paint scheme used by the Razgriz Air Command Squadron, black with red on the tail tips.

Iraq has signed a $1.1 billion contract for 24 Korea Aerospace Industries T-50 advanced jet trainers, giving the South Korean firm its second international customer for the type. The deal was signed between Iraqi government officials and senior officials from KAI on 12 December.
"I am thankful to the Iraqi government to purchase the T-50 aircraft," says Ha Sung-yong, president and chief executive of KAI.
"I think that the T-50 is the most optimal aircraft suitable for Iraq's military operations. We will make our utmost efforts to support the Iraqi air force and ensure the smooth operation of the T-50."
Korea Aerospace Industries
The first aircraft will be delivered in April 2016, with all 24 to be transferred within a 12-month period. The deal also covers training for Iraqi pilots, while KAI will provide follow-on support for the fleet for 20 years, bringing the entire value of the contract to over $2 billion.
Iraq will use the designation T-50IQ for its aircraft. A source close to the deal, however, says the T-50IQ will actually be based on the most advanced version of the T-50, the FA-50, which can serve both as an advanced jet trainer and light attack aircraft.
The FA-50 now being delivered to South Korea's air force (below) is equipped with the Link 16 tactical data link, as well as a mechanically scanned array radar, radar warning receiver and a night vision imaging system. It is capable of carrying 4,500kg (9,910lb) of weapons, has a 20mm cannon and can carry air-to-air missiles. All T-50 variants are powered by the General Electric F404 engine.
The T-50 beat the Aero Vodochody L-159, BAE Systems Hawk 128 and Irkut-built Yakovlev Yak-130 for the Iraqi requirement. It will be used to prepare pilots for Baghdad's on-order fleet of Lockheed Martin F-16IQ fighters.
KAI, which last year made its first export deliveries of the T-50 to Indonesia, has current sales campaigns for the type in Botswana, Chile and the Philippines. The aircraft will also compete in the US Air Force's future T-X competition to replace the Northrop T-38, with the model to be offered in conjunction with development partner Lockheed.

MSU and UM put on a fabulous weekend of collegiate racing. Each race had a true Montana feel. Hills and beautiful scenery were the name of the game. Once again I'm amazed at how cool Collegiate Cycling is. 95+ racers from all over the northwest came to Bozeman and Missoula to race. What pushed them to leave their northwest homes and travel 8+ hours?
The Team.
Collegiate Cycling is all about the team. If you've never spectated a collegiate cycling event....think high school track and field. People are sticking around to cheer for their teammates. There's the "token" couple on each team, the team captain herding cats, and the goofy team clown. It made me miss my collegiate days. I wanted to give a compliment to the University of Washington Cycling Team. They had huge numbers this weekend in Montana. Their killing the overall omnium and they all have great attitudes. Also, big shout out to Scott Lipp. I got to follow him in the wheel car for most of the race. He couldn't respond to the early attack, but slowly but surely he dropped every rider he was with. He chased alone in 3rd place for 45 minutes. It was and impressive showing of grit and determination.
Without TTTT today I'm lost......

TORONTO – Every morning for the past several years, Teresa Gabriele has crawled out of bed in pitch darkness to stock bread.
The alarm rings at 3:45 a.m. and she's in her first store in Abbotsford, B.C., by 4:30, when most people are still fast asleep.
Not the most glamorous work for Canada's women's basketball captain, but her job with her family's bread business has allowed her to pursue her Olympic dreams — and her appearance in London will be the punctuation mark on an illustrious career.
The 32-year-old point guard from Mission, B.C., doesn't see her work as a sacrifice and scoffs at any suggestion she's put her life on hold.
"This is my dream and what I love to do so this is what I'm doing right now," Gabriele said after a practice at the Air Canada Centre on Tuesday.
Gabriele has been the mainstay of Canada's women's team for more than a decade, and is the only remaining player from the 2000 Sydney Games, the last time a Canadian basketball team has stepped onto sport's biggest stage.
"I'm thinking of retiring after this, so it's a storybook ending for me," Gabriele said. "I started my career very early with an Olympics and then to be able to end it with an Olympics, it's awesome."
The Canadians qualified for the Games at the 11th hour, beating Japan in a must-win game in a last-chance qualifier on Canada Day to earn the final berth.
"We were just telling everybody we wanted to qualify on Canada Day," Gabriele laughed about their nailbiting run through qualifying.
Gabriele had a standout career at Simon Fraser University, and then played professionally in Italy, Spain and Austria. She moved home to B.C.'s lower mainland in 2006, where she lives with her husband Marcello, a former football player at SFU. A certified personal trainer, she trains on her own, squeezing in weight workouts or shooting drills between between her morning and afternoon bread runs. She's normally in bed by 8 p.m.
"He's a teacher and he coaches, so he's busy too," she said of Marcello. "(Our schedule) has definitely taken some discipline from me and understanding from him, which is nice."
Canada's longtime head coach Allison McNeill has known Gabriele for more than two decades after first spotting her as a fifth grader, and has developed what she calls a special bond with her captain.
"I'm absolutely thrilled that someone would stay and commit and be rewarded for it," McNeill said.
The five-foot-five guard, the coach said, is everything she could want in a team captain, whom she also recruited to and coached at SFU.
"She's just got an unbelievable calmness about her, she absolutely doesn't idolize anyone, doesn't get intimidated by anyone, doesn't get overwhelmed by anything, there are no situations where she doesn't come to play," McNeill said. "She leads by example: 'We're here to play, what else is there? Let's play, lace them up.'"
Gabriele said she's thrilled her teammates — including veteran forward and fellow Mission, B.C., native Kim Smith, who joined the squad a year after the 2000 Games — will have the chance to live the Olympic dream.
"I think just walking into the opening ceremonies and you're with all those other Canadian athletes, and they've achieved their goals and dreams," Gabriele said when asked about her best memories of the Sydney Olympics. "You get goosebumps just thinking about walking in with all the other athletes and looking up and there are thousands and thousands of people, and you're representing your country, you're wearing Canada on your chest.
"You just have a huge sense of pride."
While the Canadian women have played in two world championships since Sydney, the exposure on the Olympic stage will be unlike anything they've experienced, Smith said.
"Now little kids can watch us and dream of playing in the Olympics when they're older," said the 28-year-old University of Utah grad. "I grew up watching Teresa, I watched her play in the Sydney Olympics, and that was so huge to have a role model like that.
"We're kind of unknown in this country because we spend all our time over in South America or Europe… Now we're going to be on a national stage and people are going to hear about us, which is great."
Gabriele didn't practise Tuesday morning after receiving a cortisone shot in her foot — a painful process she's become all too familiar with in dealing with plantar fasciitis for the past couple of years.
Gabriele insisted she'll be fine once she steps on the court in London. Canada opens the tournament July 28 — the day after the opening ceremonies — versus Russia.
"You have so much adrenalin when you step onto the court, it's obviously mind over matter a lot of the time too," she said on playing hurt.
Canada will also face Britain, France, Brazil and defending world champions Australia in the preliminary round.

Peking Duck Pizza at Costco (in Taiwan)
[Photograph: My Inner Fatty] From the blog My Inner Fatty comes this account of Peking duck pizza, available at Costco of Taiwan: it looks just like a regular pizza, except... it's covered in Peking duck! Instead of tomato sauce, try 甜麵醬 (er, I don't know how to translate that, it's the sauce you put into those thin pancakes when you have Peking duck). Then to replace normal onions, you have scallions. To be fair, the pizza wasn't amazing, the crust was kind of soggy ... it was overly doughy, and lacked the char on the bottom. Whatever, you find...

Wonderful news for CA construction workers
I love watching the FoxNews people all up in arms as they actually explain, backwards of course, why this is a great bill Governor Jerry Brown signed.
Capitalist executive's lackey Stu Varney also explains why Obama has been so politically tone deaf because, had Obama really been able to connect the dots the way Varney claims, Obama would have supported the type of massive infrastructure spending people like Krugman and me have wanted from Day One of his presidency. Plus, he would have supported the labor law reform bill we have wanted to see passed in order to strengthen workers' rights nationally to form and maintain unions. The wealthiest would have seen their profits more equitably distributed among their workers, too.
Don't worry, Stu. Obama will continue to be politically tone deaf. He actually agrees more with you on economic matters than he agrees with Rich Trumka...
ADDENDUM: Young David Atkins at Digby's place nicely sums up the reason why Obama is tone deaf. He isn't stupid. He's just not that into workers and workers' economic interests.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Some state senators say Texas school districts should be allowed to cut pay for teachers or have furloughs to help avoid firing teachers to save money.
School districts are facing massive budget cuts as Texas lawmakers wrangle with a budget shortfall estimated to be at least $15 billion, with warnings that it could lead to teachers losing their jobs.
Sen. Florence Shapiro of Plano, who chairs the Senate Education Committee, said she thinks teachers would be open to a pay cut if it saved their job.
Karen Ellis of the Richardson school board and vice president of the Texas Association of School Boards, in testimony Tuesday, said her district is facing a $54 million cut. Ellis says teachers are being warned job cuts could be coming.

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Michael J. CardenAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30, 2009 Army Lt. Col. Chris Carlson thrives to stay physically fit, and neither his ripe age of 46 nor his heavy workload here at the Pentagon could prevent that.
Carlson, an Army program analysis and evaluations officer, and several other military competitors showed off their speed, agility and dedication to physical fitness yesterday in the Pentagon Athletic Center's Ultimate Fitness Challenge here. The competitors shared Carlson's enthusiasm for fitness and agreed that working behind a desk in the Pentagon doesn't mean you can't maintain fitness.
"[The competitors] were serious about staying in great physical shape, [and] I think all of us want to maintain ourselves at the best possible shape that we can," Carlson said. "I think it's a tribute to the professionalism of all the services that we want to stay in the best possible shape."
The four events were a timed shuttle run, a 35-pound sandbag-carry relay, a 60-second box jump and an obstacle course.
Despite the best efforts and confidence from the field of competitors, the challenge was surprisingly more difficult than expected, Carlson said. The object of the shuttle run was to sprint and retrieve 14 tennis balls, seven of which were positioned about 15 feet away from the start point and the other seven about 30 feet away. It's safe to say that most were beginning to feel the burn afterwards, as almost everyone was hunched over at the waist and drenched with sweat with still three events to go.
"After the first event, we were all starting to feel the muscles tightening up, [and] you knew it was going to be a contest," Carlson said. "I think we were all pretty fired up."
The next three events were equally exhausting, he said. But the most notable aspect of the challenge was how the competitors came together and bonded through a little friendly competition.
"Everyone had a lot of camaraderie," Carlson said. "We were all obviously competitive, and you could see that, but everyone was cheering for each other despite the fact that none of us had ever met before."
Carlson called the challenge an "eye-opener" to include even more variety into his workouts, which regularly include weightlifting, biking, running and martial arts. Although he believes he's in the best shape of his life, he said the competition showed him he needs to work out even harder.
That sort of competitive spirit was evident in many of the competitors. But for Navy Capt. Tyrone "Chappy" Payton, who unofficially finished second in the challenge, being fit is just part of who he is as a servicemember, he said.
Staying healthy and in shape is the individual servicemember's responsibility, said Payton, deputy director of the Navy staff. Although he acknowledges that it's easy to get "bogged down" with work here at the Pentagon, "you still need to make it your business to incorporate time to come to the gym."
"I think the military, in general, lives a healthy lifestyle" the 50-year-old sailor said. "We represent the country, so why not be in the best shape that you can and set an example for your country."
Payton also tries to set a good example for younger servicemembers, he said. Establishing good nutritional, physical and mental strengths at a young age is a message he often communicates.
"I think it's important for young people to make time to build good habits, because it's much easier to start the habit now and maintain that throughout your career in the military," he said. "I suggest to all the young people who work for me to make time and get to the gym, because when they get to my age at 50, it'll be a little bit easier to maintain."
The results of the competition are pending, but for the participants, competing and showcasing their athleticism was rewarding enough.

DALLAS (AP) - Virgin America says it's landing at Dallas Love Field airport.
The airline said Friday that starting in October, it will fly to New York's LaGuardia airport, Washington's National Airport, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
It says it won control of two gates at Love Field that American Airlines agreed to relinquish as part of its merger with US Airways.
The city of Dallas has not formally signed off on the gate transfer, but is expected to vote Monday.
Southwest Airlines Co. has 16 of the 20 gates at Love Field, the smaller alternative to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport that is closer to downtown Dallas. Delta Air Lines Co. has the last two. Both Southwest and Delta have vied for American's gates.

text: i've read elsewhere that dembele has been declared fit, though i don't know the source. it'd certainly be a boost to see him on the pitch at some point. we need to get something from this one in order to be certain of 'controlling our own destiny' - which is technically an oxymoron, but you know what i mean - going into the final group match. a win, combined with a maribor draw/loss, will see us safely through with a game remaining ... but i'm not betting heavily on either. needless to say, i'm giving thanks early this thursday ... i may be too grumpy to show gratitude come 3pm. COME ON YOU SPURS!! edit: actually, i believe a draw, combined with a maribor loss will see us through, as well. that's assuming that head-to-head results will break the tie, should we end level on points, and not goal differential (though we'd be in pretty good shape on GD, too).

Zola out to give former club a major headache
Posted: November 30, 2012|
STRIKER Calvin Zola is hoping to leave former club Crewe Alexandra dazed and confused tomorrow — having overcome his own head injury — by maintaining his record of having scored in every FA Cup match he has played in for Burton Albion.
The 27-year-old frontman returned to action in the 3-0 defeat at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday having suffered a blow to the head which forced him off after 21 minutes of the Brewers' 3-2 home victory over Dagenham & Redbridge a fortnight ago.
He sported a skull cap for his comeback against the Chairboys, but says he is fine — and is now looking to give the Railwaymen a major headache on his return to Gresty Road for the FA Cup second round clash.
Zola scored in each of his previous four outings for the Brewers in the competition and has found the target in his last five FA Cup appearances.
He said: "I have a good record of scoring in the FA Cup for Burton and it's something that I look at, trying to score as many goals as I can, and the FA Cup is no different — I'm just trying to do my bit for the team.
"I am part of the team, we've got a great squad, but obviously we're just trying to get some goals and if that comes and it results in a nice run in the FA Cup for Burton, it's a fantastic thing.
"But I'll just be happy to go there and get a win against my old team really."
Zola's debut for Albion came in the FA Cup and he scored their goal in a 3-1 fourth-round defeat at Championship side Burnley in January of last year.
Last season saw him bag the Brewers' effort in another 3-1 loss — at Oldham Athletic in the first round — while in first round action earlier this month, he grabbed a 93rd minute equaliser to secure a 3-3 draw at home to Blue Square Bet North side Altrincham before scoring in the 2-0 replay victory.
His last FA Cup outing for Crewe also saw him score once — in a 3-2 defeat away to York City.
While obviously proud of his record in the competition, the 6ft 3in striker is only concerned with hopefully helping the Brewers claim another FACup scalp — and is confident they can do just that despite going into the tie on the back of successive League Two defeats at the hands of strugglers Aldershot Town and Wycombe.
"I'm obviously looking forward to going back to Crewe," he said.
"It's gonna be a tough game, but it will be a good game to try and get back to winning ways, and I'm sure if we play the way we know how we can perform, we can go and get a result.
"We've shown throughout the season against the top, top teams that we can do a job — so why not against my old team?"
Zola admitted he was conscious of his head injury against Wycombe, but said it did not affect his performance and is confident he will be back to the form which has seen him bag eight goals already this season.
"I'm not gonna find any excuses, the head is just one of those things in football and I'm just gonna get on with it," he said.
"You know, I'm just trying to play some football.
"I wasn't thinking about my head. At times, obviously, you're gonna be conscious of it, but that shouldn't have stopped me trying to just perform to the best of my ability.
"I'm not gonna say my head is a problem or anything because that's just part of football.
"You just have to get on with it and hopefully now it's gonna be okay and I'll get back to play the way I would want it to be.
"My head is fine, I was obviously just getting a little bit of protection.
"It's not an excuse. Things I should have done better or not, it's nothing to do with the head.
"I'll see how it goes from next week, but I'm sure that we can put everything right."
Zola was left poleaxed after an early clash of heads against the Daggers and, despite getting back to his feet, he was forced off when it became obvious he was still disorientated and dazed.
He said: "It was a nasty injury when it happened and I was very dazed, but now I think it's about seven to 10 days trying to clear and hopefully now all of that is behind me, and I'm just trying to look forward to scoring a few goals and to get back up in the league."
Despite Albion's terrific start to the season having been somewhat derailed by two successive defeats, Zola believes the Brewers can get back on track against the Railwaymen.
"We worked very hard to get in that position against the top sides — away and at home — and it is disappointing when you look at the last few games, where we should have picked up the points," he said.
"I know football is not straightforward — you don't play football on paper — and it has shown in the last couple of games, where we thought that we should have won but didn't.
"That's part of football and we're professional enough to just say 'okay, it didn't quite go as well as it should have', but we're not gonna hide, we'll keep sticking our necks on the line, keep working hard, go back to basics and try to get back to winning ways.
"We've shown throughout the season that we are a very good side and can be a very good side, and hopefully we can get back on track and get back to winning ways, and try and challenge for promotion."

High school graduates will face less competition for college admission in the next decade due to a demographic decline in their ranks, according to a report on education enrollment trends released Wednesday.
At the same time, Latinos and Asian Americans will constitute larger shares of high school populations and the numbers of white and black students will drop.
"Over the last two decades, colleges and universities have been able to count on an annually growing number of students graduating from the nation's high schools. But it appears that period of abundance will soon be history," said the study, Knocking at the College Door, issued by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education.
Postsecondary campuses will have to recruit more heavily, possibly reaching beyond typical geographic territories and turning to older adults and other nontraditional populations, the report said.

Fire warning
Posted: February 16, 2013|
A CAMPAIGN to warn people of the dangers of cooking while wearing loose clothing after a Burton pensioner died when her headscarf caught fire is now set to include all faiths across the town.
Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service revealed that following the death of 67-year-old Surayya Khan, who suffered severe burns to her head and neck while cooking at her home in Edward Street last September, an investigation found major issues across the entire town in connection with clothing related kitchen fires.
The service has now launched a campaign asking people the question - 'what is it we can do to change your behaviour to make you safer'.
Dean Stevens, director of prevent and protect, said: "The cause of death was established as an accidental fire in the kitchen with clothes catching fire while cooking.
"We are now set to work with the community with mosques, women's groups, sewing and cooking classes, to capture wider representation, as the issue was not directly about Muslim clothes, it is about cooking while wearing loose clothing.
"The service is also supplying special aprons in carrier bags to fabric shops in Burton as a means of promoting fire safety but in addition there is a need to highlight the dangers of scarfs and sleeves when cooking."
Mrs Kahn's family have worked with the fire service throughout the investigation.
They have joined forces with firefighters to plead with people to be careful and ensure they did not suffer a similar accident.
Rukhsana Khan said: "We were devas- ated by the loss of our mother but if we can prevent other families from going through what we are it will be worth it.
"Saris and headscarves are loose items of clothing which could catch fire if you get too close.
"I would just like to remind people to take extra care in the kitchen and make sure their personal safety is their priority."
The service has also visited more than 30 homes across the town to offer safety advice following the tragic incident.
It is also considering making more visits to vulnerable people.
Burton Fire Station manager Mick Daniels said: "The Khan family has suffered a terrible tragedy and we want to prevent any similar accidents occurring across the whole of East Staffordshire.
"Many families, not just Asians, follow traditional cooking methods and habits.
"We want to work with these families to see how we can help to keep them safe from accidental fire."

Pigeon Forge may relocate impound lot
The city is considering relocating its impound facility to the landfill area on Rainbow Road near the existing county maintenance facility, a move that could be permanent.
The city wants to relocate the lot because the current lot is near construction for the new wastewater treatment plant.
"We need to move the lot to a secure place," Mayor David Wear said last week at a work session of city commissioners.
The proposed area, owned by Sevier Solid Waste, is roughly 180 feet by 60 feet. Public Works Director Mark Miller estimates that the area can hold approximately 60 cars.
"We're looking at about $10,000 to fence it," Miller told commissioners at the Tuesday meeting, which took place at the City Hall complex. "That would be a commercial fence, 8 feet high, galvanized with razor wire around the top. It's a little back off the road, so you can't really see it from Rainbow Road."
Designs for the proposed impound lot include a street light and camera at the entrance, the chain-link fence with razor wire and 12-foot gates connected to the fence. There is already an existing gravel drive off Rainbow Road, as well as 16-foot gates at the Rainbow Road intersection.
The chain-link fence, which was not included in this year's budget, needs to be bid. Miller said it would take about a week to get a proposal ready.
"I say we go ahead and bid and see what the bid is," Assistant City Manager Eric Brackins said. "If it's good, we'll bring it before you."
Wear asked whether this would be a temporary or permanent move.
"I think it will be permanent," City Manager Earlene Teaster said.
Teaster also said the area offers the possibility to expand the lot, if needed.

Phoenix Suns
Suns 'unlikely to bring three rookies in,' will look to trade picks for star player
Winning 48 games and exceeding all expectations is never a bad problem to have.
Even if it comes at the cost of slowing down the developmental process for the most-recent, first-round picks.
That's the situation the Phoenix Suns found themselves in for all of 2013-14, as Alex Len and Archie Goodwin were reduced to cheerleaders rather than supporting cast members, because postseason contention became the primary goal -- even more so than player development.
So with the Suns guaranteed to have at least three more first-round picks in the upcoming draft, the question becomes how does general manager Ryan McDonough balance the development of Goodwin and Len with the crop of draftees soon to enter the fold.
Truth be told, he doesn't.
"I think it's unlikely we bring in three rookies to the Suns next year," McDonough said at Friday's season-ending press conference. "We obviously have Alex and Archie, who we are high on. With the success that we had this year, it's a good problem to have. But, it's tough to develop rookies and also try to win a lot of games.
"If you look at the rookies this year, the guys that will be first-team All-Rookie or the Rookie of the Year candidates, most of those guys are on teams that were towards the bottom of the league. It's hard to do both, unless it's a special, special rookie that can get playing time and help you win."
Although the draft lottery on May 20 will ultimately decide whether Phoenix holds the 14th pick along with the 18th and 27th ones acquired in trades with the Indiana Pacers and Washington Wizards, McDonough admitted that the front office already has plans to exchange a selection or two with the goal of either acquiring a star or creating future flexibility.
"Our preference would be, as I said when I arrived, to trade for a star if we can do that," said McDonough. "We feel like we've traded for some pretty good players in Eric [Bledsoe] and Miles [Plumlee]. Gerald Green also played a big role for us this year. But, we're going to continue to explore the trade market.
"I think, though, if we do go in with the 14th, the 18th and 27th pick, that it's unlikely we draft three guys and bring them to the Suns. The options are packaging them for a veteran player, packaging them to move up, we could draft a European player or two and leave them overseas or we could trade our pick for future picks and spread them out."
The Suns have a 1.8 percent chance of making it into the top 3 of the 2014 NBA Draft. If they manage to pull off the unlikely jump, the Minnesota Timberwolves would essentially move back a spot to the No. 14 pick -- which would go to Phoenix as a result of the July 2012 trade involving Robin Lopez and Wesley Johnson.

Coastal Scents Step One Eye Primer Review & Swatches
Coastal Scents Step One Eye Primer ($9.95) is a new eyeshadow primer that recently launched. Since Urban Decay changed the packaging on Primer Potion I've been trying a variety of eyeshadow primers like Make Up For Ever Eye Primer and NYX HD High Definition Eyeshadow Base. I've liked plenty of them but I have to admit none really are as great as the original Urban Decay Primer Potion formula.
Coastal Scents Step One Eye Primer had me curious and I was a bit worried when I saw the tube formula. It seems tubes are an open invitation for eyeshadow primers to separate and become oily….I'm talking to you Too Faced Shadow Insurance and Urban Decay Primer Potion.
So I gave it a whirl and…

DENVER — We love the Broncos, and we certainly love Peyton Manning. In this Game Day Dish, we're helping you eat like the high rollers. We went to the Chef for the suites at Sports Authority Field to come up with a Manning-themed dish to help you cheer on the team.
Chef Jenna Johansen of Epicurean Group, the largest caterer in Colorado and the company in charge of suite food, says game day food doesn't have to be the same old, same old.
"You're going to have beer, you're going to have pretzels, you're going to have dip. But it's fun to do a little bit different stuff every time," she said.
She's created Peyton's Whiskey Shrimp, an ode to Manning's past and present.
"My idea was taking some of Peyton's past and involving a little bit here today," said Johansen. "He's from New Orleans, so naturally I chose shrimp. He went to school in Tennessee so I chose Jack Daniels Tennessee whiskey, and of course he's here in Colorado so I have some Colorado smoked trout."
Peyton's Whiskey Shrimp
Recipe by: Jenna Johansen, Epicurean Group
For the shrimp:
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 lb jumbo tail off, peeled shrimp
1/4 cup Jack Daniels Whiskey
1 cup flaked smoked Rocky Mountain trout
1 baguette, sliced on the bias
Heat the shrimp in saute pan to cook halfway through. Add the whiskey, flambe (watch your hair with the flame)
For the sauce:
1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp minced onion
Juice of 1 lemon squeezed
1 cups heavy whipping cream
1 Tbsp whole grain mustard
1 Tbsp chopped parsley
1 Tbsp chopped chives
to taste, kosher salt and black pepper
Saute garlic and onion in saute pan, add lemon juice and cream, reduce by half. Add remaining ingredients, season to taste.
Combine shrimp and sauce with the trout to heat through, spoon on top of the baguette to serve.
