Course Reserves - FAQ for Students
What is the reserve collection?The Reserve Collection allows instructors to make course material available to all students in their classes. Materials that may be placed on reserve include books, articles, chapters, videos, class notes, study guides and other course material. Both library-owned and instructor-owned material may be placed on reserve.
How long can a reserve item be checked out for? Most materials have a two-hour loan period, although some go out for longer. The loan period is set by the instructor.
Where are reserve items located? The Reserve Collection is kept behind the Circulation Desk and is not available for browsing. Students must bring the appropriate call number to the Circulation Desk to retrieve the material.
Can reserve material be taken out of the library?Reserve material with two-hour loans must remain in the library. Reserve material with longer loan periods may be taken out of the library.

Deep and Lasting Connections
Gift: $7.5 million toward sustainable residence hall
Nearly 16 years ago, Rick and Susan '64 Sontag received news that struck like a thunderbolt: Susan had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Everything in their life changed—including their priorities.
"We decided we wanted to spend the remainder of our time trying to give back to organizations that were deserving," says Rick, who manages his own investment business in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
Beating all the odds, Susan is alive today. And the Sontags have followed through on their decision, using their financial resources to enrich the lives of others. The couple's Sontag Foundation has made donations to a variety of causes, and last October they reached out to Pomona College—in a big way. Rick and Susan contributed $7.5 million toward a new residence hall on the school campus. In the residence halls, there is community, and learning takes place in a more informal environment.
Rick points out that when he told his Aunt Carol about the plans to donate money toward the building of a new residence hall, she said it was the kind of project Fred would particularly appreciate. He was a huge believer in residential campus life. The kind of professor who enjoyed spending time with students outside of the classroom, he was the advisor to Pomona's Kappa Delta fraternity for nearly 50 years. He also served as a longtime advisor to The Claremont Colleges Rugby Team.
In fact, the new Pomona residence hall is in a fitting location, notes Rick: It will be right next to the field where Fred spent many happy hours watching the rugby team practice.
Rick himself was also someone who took full advantage of campus life. He participated in a drama group at Scripps College, went to social events at Pomona, and was one of the few Harvey Mudd men on what was then called the Pomona College Rugby Team. Most importantly, he spent time with his future wife.
It meant a great deal to Susan to give back to Pomona College, says Rick, adding that she was the driving force behind the couple's financial gift.
"She was the one who used to bug me all the time about doing something," he says good-naturedly. "She used to remind me, 'Your wife graduated from here, your daughter graduated from here, your uncle teaches here. We have so many great connections.'
"I heard that for a good five-plus years. I told Susan, 'Don't you worry—we're going to do something.' And we did. In the end, it was really an easy decision. Everything just fell into place."

"Golden Girl"...16" x 20" oil on canvas
Thanks for looking in.
Oh, my word! That is gorgeous! It's breathtaking!
Thank you, Susan. I appreciate your comment.
Wow, it is so vivid. I love whites. You did a beautiful job on this.
Looks like a winner to me ;) - nice job.
Thank you, Tammy & Valerie.
You should win any competition that you enter this into, it is beautiful! And it gives something beyond material value, which is an affirmation of life. It transmits the joy that you must have experienced in creating it. And that is priceless!
Bill - this is superb! Nice work. The depth of field is great - I'd love to see it in person and be tempted to reach my hand right into it. Best of luck at the competitions!

This is quite stunning. Well done!
superb workmanship
Thanks, Everyone.
I did enjoy doing this painting, and it was one of those for which I had "good vibes" while I was working on it.
All I can say is..."WOW!!"
What technique did you use? this is a wonderful painting. the purple shadows with the pink highlights really make it glow on my moniter. I bet in real life it is super bright! How did you do this?
Easy Oil Painting Techniques by Delmus
Thanks for your nice comments. I use a glazing process, for which I begin with a gray underpainting (a grisaille). Over that, I apply my colors in a very thinly-applied manner. I used the true, primary colors, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow, each in a transparent form for many (not all) of the colors. I achieved the subtle lavender and purples of the petals by mixing Lamp Black with Magenta (W & N Permanent Rose 502), and a bunch of White.
Here is a photo of a composite, showing the stages of my progress on this painting, from beginning to finish.

Ageing is not an issue that we immediately associate with apartment living ... but it should be. Retirees and empty nesters are among the largest social groups moving into apartments. Security, level access, location and the lack of any need to maintain the building are big attractions for older people.
But there are physical and mental issues that come with ageing and these can have an impact on strata neighbours in a way that doesn't affect people living next door in houses.
Flat Chat reader Annabel, from Newcastle, wrote to us about an owner in a block of units.
"We were told that she has early-stage dementia, which is keeping with the conduct we've experienced.
"She has done significant damage to the building over the years [which the owners corporation has paid for] and her behaviour around the building can be quite distressing.
"Now she wants to join the executive committee. She has a friend who might support the application who doesn't know the history of her behaviour well enough to believe this is an issue.
"Most of the owners don't attend the AGMs. Is there anything we can do?"
This is one of those situations where compassion needs to be laced with a good dose of pragmatism. Political correctness aside, the simple fact is that some people suffering dementia and other conditions that come with age, can't be safely left on their own. However, you often don't discover this until some mishap occurs.
In strata, while there are more people around to keep an eye on their neighbours, it also means for instance, that accidental fires can impact on a lot more people than in a free-standing house.
Getting back to Annabel's neighbour, there is a reasonable concern that this lady may become disruptive at meetings or, at the very least, add unnecessary confusion to proceedings.
We were told only this week about a building where an owner suffering early-stage dementia was given the job of treasurer because she was keen and had an accounting background. Not only did she forget to do the accounts, she forgot that she had been appointed to the role.
Our advice to Annabel is to talk to the woman's friends about how you can make her feel part of the community without actually having her on the committee.
In NSW, if need be, you can "rig" the EC election by deciding at the AGM to have the numbers on the EC that are one fewer than would allow the lady in question to join. A vote would then be taken and, if you had enough support, she would not be elected.
As sneaky as that may seem, this is something you should organise before the AGM. Reassure yourself that this can't happen without the broad support of your community. Removing someone from the committee requires a special resolution at a general meeting, which needs the support of 75 per cent of those voting.
In Victoria, however, she can nominate herself and, unlike in other states, there's no simple method of limiting the size of the committee to exclude individuals (it can have as many as 12 members, as opposed to NSW's nine).
You can, however, remove committee members by a simple majority of 51 per cent at a general meeting, but that's a distressing situation you'd want to avoid.
There is one sneaky option. Owners can't nominate for committees if they are behind in their fees (levies). So maybe you could be less than diligent in collections just before the AGM.
Long term, you need to talk to professionals about the implications for the health and safety of your community and the woman in question.
Google "dealing with dementia" and you'll find lots of websites offering help and advice. There's more on this here on the Flat Chat Forum.

Friends from Long Island recommended this restaurant after seeing it mentioned on TV. We had 4:00 Sunday reservations. When we arrived, restaurant was pretty empty and we got a small table for 4. The waiter, Paul, was fabulous. His recommendations were spot on. The fried cheese, octopus and greek salad were all outstanding. We ordered two different lamb dishes and both were delicious. The whole fish, which we had filleted was a little dry. Portions were ample. Desserts were fabulous. Will definitely return.

When Meze first opened we ordered from there at least once a week. But as time went on the food quality and quantity started to diminish while the cost went up. They still make good food but its not as great as it was and honestly its not worth the cost all the time. Their mossaka and meze dip are still very good.

fresh Delicious yummy food great service
Posted by Anonymous on 02/25/2010
The best Greek food I have eaten in a long time. The only problem with the restaurant was that there were too many choices of delicious fresh fish to choose from. A little off the beaten path, but well worth the trip from manhattan.
Posted by SV on 12/15/2009
Who said you need to go to Astoria, Queens for great Greek food. The food was so fresh, I enjoyed everything from the salad, fish, meat to desserts.

One of the BEST Greek Resturants in Brooklyn!! THe food is fresh and delicious and the service is AWESOME! Highly recomend!

Béla Fleck is considered one of the most innovative banjo players of today, best known for his innovation using the instrument across the gamut of genres. New York–born Fleck fell in love with the banjo at 15, and recognizing a genius in the making, his grandfather gave him his first banjo. Fleck took to it immediately, using his time at New York's High School of Music & Art to adapt banjo to bebop. He played with the Tasty Licks and then Spectrum before recording his first solo album Crossing the Tracks, only five years after he had learned the instrument. At 24 he joined the New Grass Revival, and played with them until 1990. His work with them garnered him a place in Frets magazine's hall of fame, as well as a Grammy nomination. It wasn't until he teamed up with an all-star roster of musicians that he formed the Flecktones, his well-known band, which propelled his name to the lips of every banjo lovers, and backed him on albums that made waves in the jazz, bluegrass, and world music communities.
With a constant quest for new sounds, Fleck created a film, Throw Down Your Heart, about his solo journey to Africa (Uganda, Tanzania, the Gambia, and Mali) to explore the place for banjo music on this musically rich continent. The film uncovers the banjo's roots as an African instrument and its journey to the United States by way of slave traders. On his trip, Fleck plays with everyone, from villagers to the superstar Oumou Sangaré, creating an incredibly poignant record that illuminates Africa's joyful side and the universal language of music. The album opens with "Tulinesangala," a fresh, energetic call-and-response song that has the energy of youth, complete with handclaps and an obedient banjo delicately joining the vocals before dancing around them lightly and joyfully.
The title track is a rich, layered tune fraught with soul as banjo, kora, hand drums, and xylophone rally back and forth in comfortable conversation. The skill of the musicians is quickly apparent in the detail of their rhythmic patterns and the ease with which they play, making the music sound as free-flowing as if it were improvised. Equally as impressive as the instruments on this album are the vocals; on "Djorolen," Sangaré lends her lush voice to Fleck's playing, for a pared-down duet that shows less is more. Each sound in turn gets a moment to shine, showing off the beauty of its organic simplicity.

Re: Something to Ponder
Just an example from my own personal experience: I never used to be a big fan of Jason Mraz, but once I heard his 2008 release
We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things
my mind was changed completely. Why? Because he didn't allow the record to be over-produced! If he did use pitch-correction software, I couldn't tell. At one point on the last song, "A Beautiful Mess", he actually flubbed a note, but he kept the take, which I greatly admire. I'If someone has a good voice and they put genuine emotion into the music, then if they miss a note here or there it's no big deal. The human voice is an unpredictable instrument, and I think that more musicians should accept and embrace that.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Senior Matt Perron (Auburn, Mass.) went 2-for-5 with two RBI and junior Kyle Lister (Lincoln, R.I.) went 2-for-4 with two RBI, but it was not enough as the Holy Cross baseball team fell to Campbell, 14-9, this afternoon in non-conference action at Taylor Field. With the loss, the Crusaders fall to 1-6 overall, while the Camels improve to 3-10 overall. These two teams will face each other again tomorrow and then the Crusaders will wrap up their North Carolina road trip at Davidson, for a two-game series on March 7-8.
Senior Andrew Tenaglia (Duxbury, Mass.) and sophomore Joe Moore (Dublin, N.H.) also had strong games for the Crusaders as they each went 3-for-5 with one RBI.
The Camels jumped out to a 2-0 lead when Ryan Hamme hit a two-run homer in the first inning. After Campbell increased its lead to 3-0 in the bottom of the fourth, the Crusaders scored a run in the top of the fifth when senior Jamie Aldrich (Stratford, Conn.) singled to left center driving in Moore who had singled to make it a 3-1 game. The Camels then answered back with two run in the bottom of the fifth to increase their lead to 5-1.
Holy Cross scored seven runs in the top of the seventh to take an 8-5 lead. Perron doubled down the right field line with the bases loaded to drive in two runs, while sophomore Tyler Stampone (Meadowbrook, Pa.) walked with the bases loaded and junior Brendan Akashian (Lowell, Mass.) was hit by a pitch to bring in a run. With two outs and the bases loaded, Tenaglia drove in a run with a single and Lister drove in two runs with a single to right field.
Campbell responded with eight runs on seven hits in the bottom of the seventh to move out to a 13-8 advantage. The Camels then increased their lead to 14-8 with a solo homer by Rob Meng in the bottom of the eighth. The Crusaders scored one run in the top of ninth on a RBI single by Moore, but Holy Cross was unable to score again, as Hamme held the Crusaders scoreless for the rest of the inning as the game ended in the 14-9 final score.
Trevor Smith earned the win as he pitched one inning of relief allowing two runs on two hits, while Holy Cross freshman starter Ryan George (Seekonk, Mass.) received the loss as he pitched six innings allowing nine runs on eight hits with four strikeouts. Campbell starter Brandon Scott pitched six innings allowing six runs on five hits.

Alumnus Enjoys Being Ahead of the Curve
2007 Graduate Has Embraced His International Experience
By Holly Bowen
Reprinted with permission by the Moscow-Pullman Daily News
Aaron Sundquist hasn't had much downtime since he graduated from the University of Idaho in 2007, and he's still not quite yet ready for a break.
The 25-year-old - who triple-majored in international studies, economics and Spanish and finished all three degrees in four years - is a sort of case study for students who want to dive right into professional work after finishing their studies.
"The higher you aim, the less competition you have, because you have fewer people who are bold enough to do it," he said.
Sundquist spent the December before he graduated in Washington, D.C., networking with potential employers and checking out internships. He had already spent his sophomore year in Valparaíso, Chile, studying subjects like geography, economics and Spanish, and was ready for another journey out of Idaho.
Right away, Sundquist secured a post-graduation internship with the D.C.-based Institute for Policy Studies, where he spent 10 weeks during the summer of 2007 researching international drug policy and organizing a film and speaker series.
"I moved to D.C. three days after I graduated, which was an adventure in itself," Sundquist said Friday during a visit to Moscow. He spoke to international studies students at the UI's Martin Institute following his stop at the Daily News.
Sundquist said because he moved to Washington, D.C., so quickly, he had to spend his first week in a hostel while he found a more permanent residence.
When the 10-week internship was over, he landed a cost-benefit analysis job with the Urban Institute, which has nearly 400 employees and is a major nonprofit research center in Washington, D.C.
In March 2009, "I said, 'Thank you very much. I had a good time. And then I moved to Brazil,' " Sundquist said of his time at the Urban Institute.
He said he decided to spend six months in Brazil because he noticed it has fared relatively well during the global recession and is quickly becoming one of the world's major economies. He learned a little Portuguese before he left but intended to become a more fluent speaker by the time the six months were up. It also gave him an opportunity to practice his hobby, the martial art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
"I thought, if I can get ahead of the curve on this and learn Portuguese, it would give me an advantage" later in his career, he said.
He said he returned to Washington, D.C., during a terrible 2009 winter, but fortune shined upon him again, and he was placed on contract with the International Monetary Fund. That three-month contract was later extended, and now he's working for the IMF through at least April 2011.
Sundquist said he can't publicly speak about much of what he does for the IMF, but he said it involves providing international support to countries that are looking to combat money laundering and, by extension, the funding of terrorism. He said he'll be traveling to Peru in a couple of weeks to work on a project there.
All this work means Sundquist has had to suspend what he called his "pet project," Language on Location. Restaurants, hotels and other hospitality businesses in Washington, D.C., hire Language on Location-contracted teachers to give English lessons on-site to their non-English-speaking employees.
Sundquist said he doesn't know yet how long he'll be with the IMF, but he said his present goal is to move to Brazil in May to get different types of private industry experience than the government-related positions he's taken so far.
"I'd like to see what there is to see before I get my master's degree," he said. He said because of the strength of the Brazilian economy, he thinks he has a better shot at being hired by an American company's Brazilian branch than he does at being hired by an American company in the United States.
"That (international) experience will be more and more important as the global market starts to change," he said.
Sundquist said Idaho is beautiful, and he has family in Moscow, but he said the state is "inherently incompatible" with his future goals. He described it as an "It's not you - it's me"-type situation.
He said his strategy in life so far is similar to a phrase spoken frequently in Jiu-Jitsu:
"Never oppose a force," he said. "Embrace it or deflect it."

This week Chuck Dauphin takes a look at a group of 10 tracks that are mostly from new, promising talent like Ashley Monroe, Jaida Dreyer, Rachel Farley and Adam Hood. Billy Ray Cyrus is the lone 'veteran' artist on the rundown. The songs from Monroe, Dreyer and Farley are all vying for mainstream radio success at some point but Hood and Cyrus are looking at secondary smaller radio markets with their new potential hit singles.
Rachel Farley – "Ain't Easy" (RedBow Records)
Gritty and personality filled. The second coming of…Tanya Tucker! She definitely loves up to the hype!
Adam Hood – "Hard Times In The Life Of Plenty" (Carnival Recordings)
A churning number about missing a loved one. Adam Hood continues to impress with each release. One of the most impressive male newcomers in Nashville (and Texas).
Billy Ray Cyrus – "Hillbilly Heart"
Definitely has a backwoods – outdoors feel. Song benefits from some incredible guitar work, and Cyrus sounds like he is having as much fun as he has in years!
Eric Lee Beddingfield - "That Ol' Outlaw Song" (Rebel Dawg Records) - Beddingfield gives a spirited and reverential treatment to a style that he is not only knowledgeable about, but one that influenced him during his club days in Georgia and Nashville. With performances like this, there is no reason he should not be a star.
Ash Bowers – Red (Wide Open Records)
To be honest, I loved the instrumentation as much as the rest of the record. Vocally, a lot of Aldean influence, but haven't we heard the lyrics before?
Half Broke Horses (Streamound Records)
Jaida Dreyer continues to show why Byron Gallimore has confidence in her. Great vocals combined with a deep lyric.
Clinton Gregory – Too Much Ain't Enough (Melody Round-Up)
A flawless performance from an artist who has been through the emotional wringer a time or two, and has lived to tell the tale.
Ashley Monroe – Like A Rose (Warner Nashville)
A song that is nothing short of real life. Monroe deserves to be a star, and with more songs like these, she will be.
Bart Crow – Dandelion (Smith)
Vocally and instrumentally, the band is very tight. A definite winner.
Anthony Orio – Girls Will Be Girls (AO)
I didn't want to like it. I really didn't. It's been done before, and though the song is nothing earth shaking, Orio's vocal does leave you wanting to hear more…
Next week will see Kenny Chesney's "Pirate Flag" along with nine others. We hope you return to find out what Chuck Dauphin (who works as a radio DJ in addition to his writing gigs) has to say!

Consider Gary Payton as the defensive coach if he is available. Gary has NW connections and can help the team and give it defensive help move the team in right directions for steals and assists.
We need a coach who will develop the young players the next 2 years and the young coach this year did fine on that at the end of last season.
San Antonio is a small market team and they have done just fine along with the Pacers.
A manager from Sacramento may be a good choice.
Gamble and roll the dice and take a chance on Kendall Marshall as a future point guard with number 7 and then draft the next available best players as it is a crap shot who will develop into the NBA into a great player after the first 5 players taken.
Get a serviceable center and point guard on the free market and do not be afraid to wait until next year to rebuild the team through free agency if you do not get who you want. You need a lottery choice next year for the future.
Consider trading your your 2 second round picks for a late first round pick if you need to.
Consider bringing back Andre Miller as his play will help the younger playes
Trying to make the play-offs and win this year can be a problem with an experienced coach as you need to let the young players play to develop the talent and keep down injuries by not over-playing your players.
Hey! You need to figure out how to bat Wisconsin in the off season. Beat them and you know you'll have a good season and are a team that has a good chance for the Rose Bowl. You can do it with hard work.
Also, figure out ways to make all those backs scary to the opponent and thus you can open up the field for the the passing game. Make us of each ones special skills and call them plays to take advantage of their skills in running, blocking and receiving. All together you have a lot of players there who can equal a excellent backfield if they can work together unselfishly.
Hasheem Thabeet needs to really has a lot of potential to help the Blazers, but both him and the Blazers need to build his heart and soul.
You need him working with a basketball personal trainer. He needs to develop the skills to be a decent center in the NBA with decent coaching.
You need to give him a good physical to determine if might have one of the African diseases common in his area like malaria, or anemia caused by ulcers. These diseases can be weakening him.
I like the vita-nutrient approach to prevent spots injuries and healing. One approach to more energy would get rid of bad bacteria from the intestines and put good bacteria there.
Pure cranberry juice seems to empty out bad bacteria from the digestive system and adding god bacteria like acidophilus & probiotic complex can do wonders for giving a person more energy. A lot of bone and cartilage builders are available too.CoQ10 can make a person more energetic. The team could use the services of a specialist in these ways.
His weight and height is good. All his body skills need to be made better by next season. Doing a lot of movements in a swimming pool can help improve agility without causing injury.
He has not had a lot of years of experience. He was the Big East Player of the year. He put up a triple of 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 blocks and these skills impressed scouts enough to make him a second choice in the draft.
He is a 3 year project and that is about the time the Blazers will be ready for a run. All his skills can be made better.
I say keep him if he is willing to do what it takes to be a future force.
Ryan Anderson, the most improved player is what hopefully Babbit can morph into if given more confidence and conditioning and experience.
Hey, Babbit aim for what Ryan has done as you can follow in his basketball shoes and him to a similar level, if you put your mind to it. You both were terrific college player and voted best players in your conferences.
I believe you could be the most improved player next year if you give it a try and work your butt off to fix your weaknesses, including being more confident in the off-season.
Another Ryan Anderson (formerly of Cal) who is becoming outstanding. Luke if given the chance to play a lot will develop into a solid player like Ryan if given time.
Unfortunately, Mac was not good at letting young players develop and giving confidence by playing them.
Consider signing Ryan Anderson as a free agent as he plays center and power forward now too, but in the first few years did not play much too.
Both players were excellent college players, but left for the pros early.
Felton had a tough job coming into a new team and getting to know the players, so if back next year his playing would be much improved I'd expect.
Trade for Love
Trade LMA for Love.
Draft the best player for trade, or to complete the team.
Hey, you need to get better as a team and this includes everyone. Get the ball inside more and make the rebounds and play with all 5 cylinders . If you could have gotten those rebounds as much as the other teams it would be 5 more wins and the dance.
When 6 players are in the double figures and you out rebound the other team you will win most times and next year this will translate to 24 wins.

Hey, give Felton some time. It's his first year as a Blazer and it takes some time to get used to his mates and there was no pre-season to get used to the Blazers. He will get better and better. This team will play much better next year.
The 12 more rebounds by Stanford is what beat the Beavers.
Stanford will win,or lose with how the 3 point shot is going and it was falling tonight.
The home court advantage was a little too much with a 5 point loss.
The Beavers did good by creating turnovers.
The Beavers shot the ball well, including free throws.
Maybe, there's Junior College big man for rebounding, or an extra guard help out there for next year?
Moreland will become a better shooter if he works at it.
Burton would play better at 250 pounds next year.
A loss, but a close game. Keep getting better and better.
Overall, a good game by the Beavers, but still a loss.
Good luck against Cal. Get some rest .
Good game by Roberto and JC.
Well, Ducknutz and the Ducks must have watched the game. They are still mad we beat their Duck Fanny at home this year at home on the Trick Floor.
When someone says "Beaver Fan..." at Beaver Pond translate the Duck Squawker and Duck Fanny..".
What a difference 4 points more would have made in about 8 games where the team lost in these close games to some good teams and we would have over 20 wins now if we had won more of the close games and be headed for a 25 win season.
I predict a 25 win season next year and the team going a ways in the NCAA and a top 10 team if you can take your experience this year and improve and make your game make your game better and better and you will take your game to a much higher level.
You are so close to the higher level now that this year and next year if you work hard I predict great games will be happening in the future.
The two WS game losses were not that good and the Idaho and CU games understandable losses.
With a little more experience the team would have won those close games and have over 20 wins now.
Hey, the rest of the season take it one step at a time forward to March.
Hopefully, you can go a ways in the PAC-12 tournament.
Personally, I see better games ahead, especially next year. With so many close games this year and a win over the Ducks and Cal. I saw a lot of good games. If you can keep up the efforts and get your game better and you will be a powerhouse in future years.
I would like to see you going more inside to Res and making him a force and you making a high percentage of free throws and this means you getting better at outside shooting opportunities too.
Maybe use Nelson as a point forward-guard to feed Res and Collier and it up open up for the outside shots and easy jump shots for Nelson.
You had so many different looks and game plans that if you had played together more you would have had less turn-overs with more experience.
Maybe. next year with more depth you can have different units playing a more cohesive game with less turn-overs, but making more confusion on the other team. Each unit would play the KIS game with each unit playing to the strengths of that unit. This way the 3 incoming good freshmen can help playing the KIS game and go to their strengths to help the team, while the more experienced unit piles it on to the other team. This would keep the turnovers down and play to the Beavers strengths.
The coaches (WS, AS,Oregon) win due to a more simple Keep It Simple (KIS) game plan that plays to their strengths and thus less mistakes like using a point guard to make assists, going inside to a center(AS), or going to the Australian forward (WS) who can rebound and making high percentage shots.
The teams that depend on the 3-point shot live, or die depending on the altitude and how tired the teams are. So the games can change a lot depending on the location due to playing on the road and the altitude and how tired the team is.
The different coaching and game plans and locations have made the PAC-12 a great conference to watch for the fans and challenging games/chess matches for the coaches.
If you get any tournament opportunities go for it as you need the experience.
As for Ducknutz please do stay on the Beaver Pond and your Duck Pond too as your Bad Karma will hurt the Ducks if the Beaver Pups get mad they will bite your Duck Fanny the next game and win again.
Greg Oden is savable.
I had similar bone problems for years.
Finally, I brought the 5 bone healers and connective bone healers available at Costco and took all 5 together. I could feel growth and healing and a couple months later and I could walk without pain.
At $100 a month it is worth a try.
Moving around in a pool helped too as it takes the weight off the bones.
Someday as a backup playing 15 minutes a game he can help.
Some of the loco fans could use a shrink to. Some people are never happy, unless they are complaining.
Got to feel sorry for their wives and children and pets and them too as they see only the gloom.
I believe Greg Oden is savable. I had similar problems for a few years, and finally I went to Costco and brought 5 different bone and connective tissue healers and within months the healing was done and I continue to do OK. He is still young and his growth outstripped his bones.
Anyway, for a cost of $100 a month it is worth a try.
Greg can help the team by limiting his time to about 15 minutes a game as a back-up.
Exercise in a pool will help too.

Play Billy Ball
The long ball game almost worked at home and at Arizona, but when you team is tired at the second game on the road a change was needed against Arizona State... a team game is needed with a lot of assists and going inside mostly. This game was not done.
At Arizona State the inside players Burton and Angus hardly got to shoot while the outside shots mostly missed. This is because you are playing on the road and thus tired the outside shot usually do not fall.
If the Russian center in the AS game gotten worn out against the inside game he would not have made so many shots inside.
Against Colorado at about 5,000 feet you need to go inside and substitute a lot. The long ball game will not work, so go more for the high percentage shots and a lot of assists.
Against UCLA and SC at home the long ball will go in and if you play a team game with assist with 5 players in the double figures you have a chance.
Cunningham needs more rest on the road.
Starks has been great at times at home and the first game on the road, but needs to involve the team more make more assist and other players more involved in the 2nd of the road games, instead of taking a lot of shots when tired and getting a lot of misses.
The defense has not been so good the second halves because the player are tired and maybe less playing time is needed to play better the second halves as the defense gets worn out playing hard and fast.
Bring in some of the bench guys for a few minutes, instead of playing the tired players too many minutes.
Get more rest between games. Let Roberto get well for the PAC-12. He is a good rebounder and can shoot the 3. We will need him for the PAC-12.
Hit the free throws, and shoot less 3-pointers, as the missed 3-pointers and free throws give the other team a rebound edge.
Shoot the high percentage shots and recruit another Lucas and Barry.
Turn Moreland into another Steve Johnson, who makes the high percentage shots. Develop a good hook shot from Moreland.
Use your depth...so players play at max, and win.
Next year play at home, as much as possible pre-season and avoid the high altitude, cold places.
Get a lot of assists and baskets from the Warrior-Chief.
I believe these 3 guys will be solid players in the future if given time to develop. They were solid players in college, but have not adjusted to the NBA, as it takes a few years and they came in early, or with injuries. Take a look at some of their old college games to see how exciting and how they dominated in college.
The Bay Area press is still hot about Mills still after seeing him play in college. Mills will develop into a solid player like Brooks from Oregon if given tine. Australians love Mills and the whole continents is rooting for him. He is a role model for Native Ausralians.
Reno and Nevada still has high on for Luke after seeing him in college. The fans there still believe in them and keep up on the Blazer games.
Babbitt is a work in progress who has a chance to become a solid shooting forward and re-bounder.
Elliot has a great future if he can get past his injuries.
Anyway, I have seen Mills and Babbitt play in college and the they were 3rd string All American, so they have potential, especially since the Blazers got then with later picks and the cost is low. I expect both to have long careers and become special players in the NBA as they gain confidence. The bad fans expect them to play like lottery pick and they were not.
You have not seen how good they will be until they get adjusted to the NBA and get more playing time. If the Blazer are patient they will develop into 3 solid back-up players and give the Blazers depth and the top 6 players a rest. Three years from now they have a chance of being solid players and starting.
Remember Kobe's first years were not so good, but he got better. Anyway, these 3 player are works in progress and worth 3 roaster spots. Of coarse pick up more big men, or re-bounders where possible. A lot of other teams will take a chance on these players, so they will want them included in a trade. I like there characters and they are classy people, so love/hope they can show their game for the Blazers
The team could be great if Rudy had developed the way he was headed as a great shooter and all around team player like Rick Berry and Chris Mullins. Maybe somewhere he can dig down deep and become a wonderful player by really developing his outside shot to fill a needed role. If Rudy could turn himself into a dead eye marksman by hard work in the off season the team would take off like a rocket. He has the experience now playing and just needs to practice his game like those fellows and maybe read their stories and believe in himself and get the confidence he somehow lost following his injury. It's time for Rudy to make himself a hero star. Was he a rookie All-Star?
If Mills can use the experience gain to step up to the next level this team can become outright dangerous.
Take the best man available and consider a future trade for a point guard, or bring in another free agent like Miller. After this years experience we can expect good things from the Blazers next season. They are close to a championship run, but can use a little help from the draft and free agents. Eighty percent of the other clubs wish they were in he Blazers position with the players and coach.

Seriously! Taylor Swift was just chosen as the celebrity inductee to the International Bowling Mueum and Hall of fame in Arlington, Texas. If you look up "dubious honor" in the dictionary, there will likely be a picture of Taylor accepting this award.
Swift beat out Justin Bieber and seven other celebrities for the honor which was based on an online vote on the museum's website. Swift has been seen on the lanes with pal Selena Gomez in the past, which likely made her the stronger candidate, although we're wondering if Jeff Bridges or anyone else from The Big Lebowski was even considered because, hello, the clear winners were overlooked there. Congratulations, Taylor, and we can't wait to see Kanye intercept this award for you.

The Vampire Diaries
A Vampire Diaries Original Is Joining Grimm
Do magical spells from beyond the grave work long distance? Let's hope so, because Vampire Diaries' Alice Evans (Esther) is headed to Grimm, Entertainment Weekly reports.
The Original Witch was killed by her son Klaus (Joseph Morgan), so we didn't expect to see much of her anyway. But Alice has a six-episode arc on the NBC show, where she'll play a long-lost love of Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz).
But don't throw out your mama's coffin just yet, Klaus. Something tells us you can't keep a bad witch down (or in Portland) for long.

Intersection Removal
If any one number occurs twice or three times in just one
(any row, column or box) then we can remove that number from the intersection of another unit. There are four types of intersection:
A Pair or Triple in a box - if they are aligned on a row, n can be removed from the rest of the row.
A Pair or Triple in a box - if they are aligned on a column, n can be removed from the rest of the column.
A Pair or Triple on a row - if they are all in the same box, n can be removed from the rest of the box.
A Pair or Triple on a column - if they are all in the same box, n can be removed from the rest of the box.
Pointing Pairs, Pointing Triples
Pointing Pairs :
Load Example
or :
From the Start
Looking at each box in turn there may be two or three occurrences of a particular number. If these numbers are aligned on a single row or column (as a pair or a triple) then we know that number MUST occur on that line. Therefore, if the number occurs anywhere else on the row or column outside the box WHICH THEY ARE ALIGNED ON then it can be removed. The pair or triple
along the line at any numbers which can be removed.
Here are two Pointing Pairs at the same time on this tough rated puzzle. The 3s in
are alone in box 3 and they are aligned on the row. So looking along the row we can remove all the 3s in Box 1. In a similar manner the 2s in
point along the row to
Pointing Pairs Example 2 :
Load Example
Now this is a rather special puzzle and a little extreme, but if we look at the whole board you can see I have highlighted a whole cluster of Pointing Pairs. It is obviously not necessary to spot everyone to progress the board but there are so many good examples it is worth looking at. The eliminations are highlighted in yellow. You should be able to see which eliminations belong to which Pointing Pair. A couple are consequences of a previous elimination.
Pointing Triple :
Load Example
or :
From the Start
Here is a Pointing Triple found in a tough grade puzzle containing many wholesome and nutritious Pointing Pairs. All the 3s are found in
and nowhere else in box 8, so they point up the column to another 3 which can be removed.
Box Line Reduction
Box/Line Reduction :
Load Example
or :
From the Start
This strategy involves careful comparison of rows and columns against the content of boxes (3 x 3 squares). If we find numbers in any row or column that are grouped together in just one box, we can exclude those numbers from the rest of the box. For example:
This Sudoku contains numerous Pointing Pairs and Box/Line Reductions and is worth stepping through from the start. Consider row A. The only 2s left are in
which means we should should check the rest of the box. 2 has to go somewhere on row A and it will be in one of those two cells. So we can eliminate 2 from
Box/Line Reduction :
Load Example
or :
From the Start
In the very next step of the same puzzle we have two 4s alone in column 8. That fixes 4 to be in either cell
. We can remove the other 4s in box 3 and get our next solved cell: 2 in
Triple BLR :

or :
From the Start
I've rolled two examples into one diagram here, I hope it wont be confusing. The one involving 6s follows on immediately from the first one found among the 3s (purely because it searches in order from 1 to 9). They are both 'triple' versions of Box/Line reduction.
In column 1 the 3s occupy
(shorthand =
) which are all in box 7. The solution is pinned to column 1 so the other 3s in the box must go.
The 6s are likewise pinned by column 2. You can see there are other 6s in column 3, in

. You won't run out.

In your explanation of pointing pairs, the first example has 3s in columns 1,2,3,7, and 9 of row B; and you say the "pair" of 3s in columns 7 and 9 point to and eliminate the 3s in columns 1,2, and 3 of row B. Why not the other way round, with the triple in box 1 (columns 1,2, nd 3 of row B) pointing to and eliminating the 2s in column 7 and 9?
Andrew Stuart writes:
Because box 1 has 3s elsewhere, namely in C2 and C3. It's not a pair/triple if there's other numbers in the same box.

In practice, how do use coloring? I can't use a magic marker on my screen. When there are more than several cells that are colored, I loose track of what each number is colored.
Andrew Stuart writes:
When printed, you should only need two colours. Or you can use a square and circle, or a circle and cross out. I agree it's a little tough to manually do this on the screen. I'd like to add more features like that to help people use the solver for those types of strategies but I fear over complicating the user interface.

Anthony, I don't think that you can look at the box in isolation. For the "pointing pairs" to work, there needs to be an absence of candidate 8s from the rest of the first column. If there are no other candidate 8s in that column then the column's 8 must be in the 5/8 or 7/8 cell. In that case the box cannot contain another 8 and the other four candidate 8s can be eliminated. If on the other hand there is another candidate 8 elsewhere in that first column, there would be no certainty that the subject box's 8 need be in the 5/8 or 7/8 cell, and "pointing pairs" would not work.

I have a question. Please see my diagram of a block below. On another website they say with a pointing pair such as the 5/8 in the top left corner and the 7/8 in the bottom left corner are pointing pairs. Therefore I can eliminate all of the other 8s in the block. I do not see why this rule holds true. I am probably missing something but I just don't see it. Why couldn't I put the 8 in the middle top box and then put the 5 in the top left box and the 7 in the bottom left box? I have looked at quite a few puzzles and the rule holds true but WHY??? Thanks for any help in this.

Another excelleng explaination of difficult concept. In Type I , digit 2 have no alternative as it has to be in cell B4 and B6 in the Centre Box. Where as in Right Box, digit 2 appear in Row B and Row C. Hence the Centre Box has priority to contain digit 2. Since 2 has to be either in cell B4 or B6, it has no other place to go in the same Row ie. Row B. So 2 from box Right in Row C can be removed. The concept is NO ALTERNATIVE FOR DIGIT IN ROW OR COLUMN IN A PARTICULAR BOX.
Thanks for nice and simple elucidation of difficult concept.

These pairs are easy to spot if you first look at a box then ask is there a single line in a box? But to spot the sevens and eitghts you have to see the two X-Wings first.
There is an X-Wing for sevens and an X-Wing for eights.

It would have been much easier to understand if you had made the point of alternatives. I did not understand why the double 2s could not eliminate the triple 2s and vice versa until I figured out that what matters is whether or not there is an alternative choice. GAR.
I had looked at this and also could not see the relationship until I reread the above and saw there were no other alternatives in the pointing pair box that forced the others to be eliminated. thanks

Moses - If A or B is a 9, then how can there be another 9 in the rest of those box of nine squares? You can therefore eliminate the possibility of a 9 in C, D or E.

Shouldn't this strategy be called "intersection prevalence" (or something like that) instead of "intersection removal", because what you actually do (see for instance example nr 1) is keeping the two 2's in the intersection of row B and box 2 (since they do not appear in the remainder of box 2, so that one of them must be a solution in that box) and remove the 2's out of the remainder of row B (in box 3).
The same counts for "type 2" (with a swap of box and rows). In that example the two 9's can be found in the intersection of row 4 en box 6 (the box on the right) and not in the remainder of row 4, which means the 9's in the remainder of box 6 can be eliminated. Ofcource, the solution is the same, the difference is in the logical explanation. Isn't it?

Featured client Paul Maloney: A second chance at life
Paul Maloney had always been the picture of good health. He was an avid skier and worked hard to stay in shape. That's why he and his family were shocked two years ago, when he was diagnosed with stage IV throat cancer.
The medical treatments quickly devastated the family's savings. As his wife, Mary, explains, "The financial stress alone was absolutely crippling."
A pleasant surprise came when their life insurance agent contacted them.
"All of a sudden the most important person in my life is my insurance agent and the company he chose to be associated with." – Paul Maloney
Paul's New York Life agent advised him that there was a provision in his life insurance policy called a Living Benefits Rider that he could use. The rider allows policyholders to access a policy's death benefit if they have been diagnosed to have a life expectancy of one year or less.
Using funds from his whole life insurance policy, Paul was able to begin a new round of innovative cancer treatments.
"I used to be the most cynical person about insurance, and then, all of a sudden, the most important person in my life is my insurance agent and the company that he chose to be associated with," says Paul. "And the company turned out to be exactly what he said it was. You wouldn't have imagined that there were any companies left in America with this kind of integrity."
Shortly after beginning his new treatment regimen, Paul celebrated the wedding of his daughter, Danielle. The wedding present for the newlyweds? A New York Life insurance policy.
Paul Maloney has been compensated by New York Life to provide this testimonial.

How fucked is Metro? Web developer seeks algorithmic answer
As any regional Twitter fiend knows, expressions of profanity have a very close relationship with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA/Metro). They're on a single track, so to speak.
And that may explain why the brand-new website howfuckedismetro.com is killing it on visitors today. According to site founder Joey Brunelle, the site has gotten in excess of 6,000 hits since it went live around midnight.
Given its name, you might suppose that the site provides rants about Metro service, spleen about track-maintenance schedules, diatribes about the agency's agility on social media. Nope, it's all about utility. The homepage is essentially a presentation of colors — one for each of the system's rail lines. Click on any one of them, and you get a readout of how trains on that line are performing. Are there any delays? When's the next train?
On each page, the site sticks to its shtick, throwing around F-bombs like so many escalator breakdown alerts. At this moment, for example, Fort Totten "isn't fucked"; Huntington, too, "isn't fucked." If you work at a church or perhaps a day-care center, you may want to avail yourself of the site's SFW version, howsmetro.com, in which case Fort Totten "looks decent."
Why the polite option? "I was actually worried that a lot of offices would block the NSFW site simply because of the profanity used in the URL," Brunelle says. That's what went down when Brunelle launched the Boston version, howfuckedisthet.com.
Brunelle is a freelance web designer with a passion for mapping train arrival times. And transit in general; when I caught him, he was on a bus. His brainstorm for the how-fucked genre was derivative---he'd seen one for San Francisco and thought he could improve upon it. So he launched the Boston site.
The guy hates ads, calling them "ugly," so he solicits donations on the sites. The tin-cup interface is every bit as clean and easy on the eyes as the Metro-line-delay interfaces. By which I mean very. Ease of use notwithstanding, Brunelle says he's losing money on the enterprise at the moment. His connection with the area came in his freshman year at American University. Despite the name of his site, he claims to "really like" the Metro system.
And getting back to that name — did Brunelle have to pay big bucks to pry it from some domain-name squatter? "Nope, the domain name was available when I looked for it," he says.

By Simon Gault on 22nd December 2012, in Simon Gault's recipe tips
I've come across a couple of recipes recently requiring clotted cream, but I have not been able to find any in the shops. Are you aware of any retail outlets in New Zealand that sell it?
It is hard to find, but the good news is you can make your own. You will need unpasteurised full cream milk, so you might want to approach a farming friend for milk directly from a cow. A quick search online will yield a number of different but probably equally effective ways to make clotted cream. I promise it will be well worth the effort when you wow your family with a full Devonshire tea, complete with scones.

ASUS Padfone release teased in MWC invite UPDATED with video!
It's less than a week now before we head to Barcelona to check out the biggest event of the year surrounding nothing but mobile and ASUS is bringing the heat with the Padfone! We've gotten a couple glimpses of this device in different iterations leading up to this event, and indeed across the ocean in the opposite direction they've had an older version of the device out for hands-on experience, but this is the upgrade. What we can expect is nothing less than a whole new set of hardware and perhaps an upgraded processor on the inside as well!

May 5, 2009
What are your thoughts on the recently completed spring season?
I think we played pretty well, got some pretty positive results and the girls worked extremely hard. There is less pressure during the spring season, so the learning curve is higher. Paying attention to the details in spring will help us get stronger over the summer and prepared to enter the fall ready for action.
As the goaltender's coach, what are your thoughts on their performances in the spring?
The girls all played well and have made the position stronger. We allowed only five goals in our nine spring games, including four shutouts to start the campaign. The toughest part is that there is only one position out on the pitch for them, so it makes things very competitive.
What were some of the better results from the spring season for the Matadors?
We went down to San Diego and tied the Toreros. We also registered a 1-0 victory over Pepperdine and played strong against UCLA. It is always good for confidence to go and perform well and get good results against traditional programs.
What did you see from the defense this spring?
We have a lot of people competing for playing time, which increases everybody's productivity. Although we lost a few players to graduation, we have a lot of girls competing to step in and fill those roles.
And on offense, how did the Matadors do in the spring?
We really started clicking around the second or third game. Although it was tough to get it going, our emphasis this spring was on defense and organization. We didn't want to give up any soft goals and achieved that.
Can you offer us a glimpse of what the 2009 schedule entails?
It will be a tough schedule no doubt, but it will also give us a lot of confidence. We have a couple of big road trips and some challenging non-conference home games, all of which is to prepare us for league play. I think our schedule will set up to have us peaking at the right time of the season.
Do you have any favorite memories from the 2008 season?
Starting the year 4-0 against some tough opponents was nice and we were very competitive against some high level squads. The main thing is that we're constantly getting better and stronger.
Whom are you looking to on the squad for leadership?
Our team captains this year are Katie Fox, Jasmine Pratt and Kellie Drenner. All three encompass the great things about being student-athletes, from their work on the field and in practice to their achievements in the classroom. It is nice to see three girls have so much respect from their teammates. I don't think it was any surprise that they were elected team captains.
The UEFA Champions League Final is right around the corner. Who do you think will take world's most prestigious club title?
Since Real Madrid is no longer around, I am rooting for Manchester United. They are so dynamic and have so many options. I think they'll be tough to stop. I foresee a Barcelona-Man U final with the Red Devils prevailing 2-1.
Are you still playing competitive soccer?
I play in an indoor league with some friends. I have so much love for the sport that I have to stay active, whether its in my coaching or just getting out on the pitch and playing pick-up games with the girls.
Any final thoughts on the upcoming 2009 season?
The coaching staff is definitely excited about the upcoming season. We have a lot of potential and our strength of schedule will offer plenty of challenges to get us ready for league play. We look forward to making the Big West Tournament, making a statement and getting to the NCAAs. We have the team to do it.

Back in the late 1960s, the late Stewart Brehm, Director of the Sewerage & Water Board, told Allan, then a reporter for the States-Item, that the sewerage and drainage system that was a crucial part of New Orleans infrastructure was falling apart and would have to be replaced at the costs of tens of millions of dollars that the city didn't have. Brehm said that as politically unthinkable as an S&WB rate increase at that time might be, it would have to be done.

Cancers Treated with Proton Therapy
What makes a proton therapy the right form of radiation treatment for a particular cancer will include a host of factors unique to each patient. Every tumor, in terms of its shape, size, location, and biological behavior is different. In the sections below, we'll present information on several types of cancer that have been treated successfully with proton therapy.
As a patient at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA), you'll work with a team of experts who will discuss all of your treatment options with you. Together, your team will recommend the treatment approach that will give you the best odds of surviving cancer—and returning to full health and a normal life.
Prostate Cancer
SCCA medical oncologists and radiation oncologists are excited to have the opportunity to utilize proton therapy in treating prostate cancer. Research studies have demonstrated the efficacy of proton therapy, its relative safety even when higher doses are utilized—along with a low incidence of incontinence and bowel dysfunction for men undergoing this treatment.
Pediatric Cancers
Children are on a fast track in terms of their growth and development, and that growth makes them especially vulnerable to side effects from radiation treatment. Proton therapy is particularly well suited to many pediatric tumors because it can precisely target tumors near or within sensitive organs while minimizing radiation exposure to healthy tissue.
Brain and Spinal Cord Cancers
Treatment for brain tumors often encompasses a combination of therapies, including x-ray and/or proton radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy. As with all radiation therapies, proton therapy is generally used after surgery has been performed, to destroy any remaining cancer cells.
Breast Cancer
SCCA radiation oncologists are breaking new ground in investigating the benefits of using protons in treating locally advanced breast cancers. The advantage with protons in treating these cancers is that it can enable radiation oncologists to deliver adequately high radiation doses to cancer targets such as the chest wall and lymph nodes—while sparing surrounding healthy organs.
Head and Neck Cancers
The advantage with protons in treating head and neck cancers is that radiation oncologists can deliver high radiation doses to the cancer target while sparing sensitive structures. As a result, proton therapy may reduce the likelihood of side effects from radiation treatment, which can include blindness, hearing deterioration, and dry mouth.
Gastrointestinal Cancers
Proton therapy offers patients with GI tumors the possibility of limiting the radiation exposure to nearby healthy organs—and limiting side effects.
Lung Cancer
In treating lung cancer, radiation therapy can potentially impact many critical structures in a sensitive area of the body, including the heart and spinal cord. Conventional radiation therapy can pose challenges in terms of delivering an effective dose without risking damage to healthy tissue. In this circumstance, proton therapy may be the therapy of choice to protect these vulnerable areas.
Other Cancers
At SCCA, we are committed to addressing the need for definitive studies on proton therapy for a wide range of cancers.
