Commentary: Even GOP judges see that Texas legislature discriminated against Latinos in congressional redistricting
A case of a Democratic court ruling for Democrats? Rodriguez was once appointed to the Texas Supreme Court by Republican Gov. Rick Perry and got to be a U.S. district judge because President George W. Bush appointed him. Bill Clinton appointed Garcia and Ronald Reagan appointed Smith, a Houston judge, to the federal bench. The three judges were unanimous in redrawing the state's map on congressional districts. [Read More]

Isn't He Clever targets Lone Star Park Handicap
Isn't He Clever, who had been pointing toward the Grade 3, $200,000 Texas Mile at Lone Star, was forced to miss the race and is now targeting the Grade 3, $300,000 Lone Star Park Handicap on May 27, trainer Henry Dominguez said.
"He had a minor setback, and we didn't get to enter in the race [Wednesday]," Dominguez said of the Texas Mile. "We didn't think he was 100 percent. He's just now getting there. We had to skip it, but hopefully we'll be fine for the Lone Star Park Handicap."
Isn't He Clever on Friday worked a bullet five furlongs in 1:00.80 at Lone Star.
"Maybe should have run in that Texas Mile anyway," Dominguez quipped. "But we're back on course."
Isn't He Clever set a Sunland Park track record for 6 1/2 furlongs in his last start, winning the Bill Thomas Memorial in 1:13.40.
Forest Mouse, the recent winner of the Sunland Park Handicap under 127 pounds, has had a setback and will be sidelined through the summer, Dominguez said.

- Fiscal consolidation strategy (2012)
- In the aftermath of the global financial crisis and great recession, many countries face substantial deficits and growing debts. In the United States, federal government outlays as a ratio to GDP rose substantially from about 19.5 percent before the crisis to over 24 percent after the crisis. In this paper we consider a fiscal consolidation strategy that brings the budget to balance by gradually reducing this spending ratio over time to the level that prevailed prior to the crisis. A crucial issue is the impact of such a consolidation strategy on the economy. We use structural macroeconomic models to estimate this impact focussing primarily on a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with price and wage rigidities and adjustment costs. We separate out the impact of reductions in government purchases and transfers, and we allow for a reduction in both distortionary taxes and government debt relative to the baseline of no consolidation. According to the model simulations GDP rises in the short run upon announcement and implementation of this fiscal consolidation strategy and remains higher than the baseline in the long run. We explore the role of the mix of expenditure cuts and tax reductions as well as gradualism in achieving this policy outcome. Finally, we conduct sensitivity studies regarding the type of model used and its parameterization.
- New Keynesian versus old Keynesian government spending multipliers (2009)
- Renewed interest in fiscal policy has increased the use of quantitative models to evaluate policy. Because of modeling uncertainty, it is essential that policy evaluations be robust to alternative assumptions. We find that models currently being used in practice to evaluate fiscal policy stimulus proposals are not robust. Government spending multipliers in an alternative empirically-estimated and widely-cited new Keynesian model are much smaller than in these old Keynesian models; the estimated stimulus is extremely small with GDP and employment effects only one-sixth as large.

My chill Saturday night at the movies really paid off for me when I got up a little after 6:00 on Sunday morning. Even though it was my first 10k of this month (I'm pretty sure I'm doing another one in two weeks), I wasn't really nervous at all. Honestly, I really didn't think about it too much until the night before. No idea why. Maybe I just didn't see a point in stressing out about it? I'm far enough in training that it wasn't going to be a problem to actually run it- I was just wondering how well I'd do with pacing myself.
Did anyone else do a holiday run this weekend?
Mon went with me as emotional support and took over photographer duties. She was sitting there waiting with her coffee when I walked out of my apartment. She's awesome like that. :)
I knew of the Frontier Days festival last year when I moved to the area, but didn't go. So we were both quite surprised in how big this race was (for a smaller suburb race). A lot of it had to do with the fact that they started the 5 and 10k's at the same time. Here I am all chipper and ready to go. Or slightly delirious for being up this early on a holiday morning? Either/or.We all packed into one of the neighborhood streets. The gunshot went off. Weeee!
The first two miles were pretty crowded. I tend to enjoy finding someone to pace with and just go. This was hard for me because I couldn't differentiate who was running the 5k and who was running the 10k. So I waited to do that after the third mile when the two groups of racers split. After mile 3, I followed a girl and kept a solid pace around 8:20. This was working out well, but with a mile and a half to go, I wanted to kick it up. A guy passed me who seemed to be going a decent speed. So I took it up a notch and decided to follow him for a bit. It was a challenge at that point, but I kept an 8:10 pace the rest of the way.
The last 20 seconds were a blur. And quite stressful because I was serious disheveled. All the sudden, there's Mon to my right. The finish line. Then someone to my left ripping off my bib number. Seriously- chip timers. It's what all the cool kids are doing… Let's get with the times!I guess this was taken before I noticed Mon standing there. Or at least I like to think it was- so that I would have smiled instead of snarled. Oops…
I finished the 10k in 51:21- or an average pace of 8:17. I was cool with this. But I know I have a little more work to do in order to get that goal time I've got in the back of my head for the Rock n' Roll half that is LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY! Eek!
Let's see if I can shave some time off in a couple weeks on my next 10k?
Afterwards, I got in line for the goods…I'm now stocked up for my pre-workout snacks next week. Thanks Park District of Arlington Heights! :)
All in all, I had a good time. So did Mon. She was apparently in people and pet-watching heaven.Apparently ALL the neighbors came out to watch… :) I did really enjoy that- people were all up that early, sitting out on lawn chairs cheering everyone on. Every few blocks, people would have their sprinklers on and directed towards the streets for our benefit. On the first mile I was kind of annoyed. By the last I was running straight for the H20 whenever I saw it. Little kids also had hoses in their hands, eager to spray you down if you indicated it. I was smart enough to stay away from that situation- there was fire in their eyes that made me slightly uncomfortable…
Afterwards, it was time for the mandatory post-race breakfast. Rough morning, right? ha ha I was hungry pretty much immediately, and so was Mon, but as we were walking back to my car, I asked if could swing by my apartment so I could change.
Mon: Well it doesn't make a bit of difference to me, Amy. You just ran. It's ok to be a little sweaty. I don't care.
I contemplated what I had on. My running shorts and a soaked sports bra top.
Me: Well, I should probably have on underwear and not be nipping out in the restaurant. I'm sure the church crowd will be joining us soon.
It was a good call.
Another good call? Sausage and mushroom omelet with rye toast at Walker Brothers. Oh buddy…
And so that was my race experience from yesterday. I'm going to let you go now- I have my day off of work to go enjoy. Do you have the day off from work? How are you spending it?
Have a good one! :)

Fitting your Chacos
Adjusting your sandals
Once you've selected your Chaco footwear, adjusting the straps is equally as important as finding the proper fit. Here are some videos and diagrams to ensure a good fit:
How to adjust a Z1 sandal
How to adjust a Z2 sandal
If you've chosen Chaco shoes, here are some things to consider:
If you've ever worn a pair of Chacos, then you'll experience the same arch support as with your sandals, on the same exact footbed. The only difference is the protective leather toe pocket.
If you haven't experienced LUVSEAT™ action yet, know that Chacos are designed for you to walk naturally - like you're walking barefoot on dirt trails. When you first put them on you're going to feel pressure under your foot, which is the action of the footbed pushing your arch back up into place, into its natural position.
Tighten the top strap and heel leash fo your shoes to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Enjoy the foot hug!

Is Hell Eternal?
Or Will God's Plan Fail
By Charles Pridgeon
Chapter Thirty: The Test of Usefulness as a Divine Accrediting
The question may arise in the heart of a Christian worker, "Is it not all right to sacrifice a little frankness and truth in order to usefulness?"
The Word of God tells us to "Buy the truth, and sell it not." All truth that we really have, has cost its possessor something, and sometimes it is gained only at a great price. God bids us buy it. It is true it is "without money and without price," and yet it costs dearly; but it is always worth more than it costs. Truth to become really ours has to be held more strongly than a mere opinion or belief; beliefs have to be burned into convictions and convictions changed into life.
There is always the temptation to compromise; and when any truth is compromised or denied, it is apt to become weaker and fainter to our consciousness. God's Word says, "sell it not," for all truth is a part of Him who is the Incarnate Truth, and in selling it, to that degree, we are selling Him.
God always desires us to be tactful in the presentation of truth, but He never wants us to sacrifice it, nor to practise diplomatic falsehoods to promote His cause. There are times when one may be called upon to sacrifice greatly for some truth; but if done unto God in the spirit of joy and faith, it always yields its ''hundredfold," and that kind of truthfulness is always one of the secrets of power: we might say, a rare secret of power.
It is contrary to heavenly wisdom to prefer a present profit to a future good. In fact, he who is not looking for profit at all, but only at what will please God--that man has already the greatest profit in a more intimate fellowship with God. And he who has the most intimate fellowship with God, will have the life of greatest usefulness, whether he or the world knows it. Any other principle of life and action always sells its birthright for a mess of pottage.
We will give two illustrations from real life.
Hannah Whitall Smith is the well-known author of that book that has been helpful to hundreds of thousands, The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life. It is not so generally known, but Mrs. H.W. Smith was a strong believer in the ultimate salvation of all. We quote several extracts from her Spiritual Autobiography:
"As was to be expected in those days, my views on restitution, which of course I had speedily announced, met with a great deal of disapproval . . . And, as a fact, these very views, and the frank confession of them under rather trying circumstances, were the means of opening the way for some of our most important and successful work."
"It came about in this wise. In 1873 my husband had come over to England to hold some meetings in the interests of the Higher Life, or, what I prefer to call it, the Life of Faith. I soon followed him, and upon my arrival in London I was invited to meet a company of leading Evangelical ladies, who were to decide as to whether it would be safe for them to endorse me, and lend their influence to the work. The occasion has thus been described by Lady Mount Temple, who was one of the party, in her life of Lord Mount Temple:
"I think it was in 1873 that Mr. Pearsall Smith came to England from America, followed in a few months by his dear, beautiful wife. It was a time long to be remembered. They came full, one may say, of the new wine of the Spirit, and longed to help others onward in the Divine life. A friend asked us to lunch to meet them. I shall never forget my first sight of Hannah Smith. We called her the 'angel of Churches," and she looked like one, with her golden hair and clear beautifully cut face, in a dress distinctly her own, but simple as that of the Friends, among whom she had been brought up.
"I may mention what strongly drew' me to her that day. I must confess that I was only a seeker after truth. Hannah was sitting in a little circle of excellent orthodox friends, who had assembled to hear of the good things that she had to impart, and she was there on her examination.
"She happened to have seen a funeral in the street, and as she spoke of it, we all put on the conventional look of sadness. 'Oh,' she said, 'when I meet a funeral I always give thanks for the brother or sister delivered from the trials and pains of this mortal state.' How wonderful, I thought, and I could not help exclaiming, 'Is that possible? Do you feel this about everybody? I was indeed an enfant terrible. She stopt a moment and looked around. She was amongst a party of evangelicals at a time when the universal hope was deemed a heresy, and she was on her trial. She owns that she went through a few moments of conflict. But truth prevailed, and looking up, with her bright glance, she said, 'Yes, about everybody, for I trust in the love of God.'* I yielded my heart at once to this manifestation of trust and love and candor."
*See Chapter on the Unselfishness of God, page 202.
I remember this occasion perfectly, and the thoughts that influenced me. I knew I was on my trial, and I thought very likely the whole party would be shocked, but I felt that loyalty to God demanded that I should tell what I knew would honor Him, and that I must be willing to leave the consequences in His care. The moment I ceased speaking Lady Mount Temple, (or Mrs. Cowper Temple, as she was then), left her seat and came across to where I was sitting, and, stranger tho I was, gave me a most loving kiss, and said at once, "You must come and have some meetings at Broadlands." How the rest of the party felt I do not know, but not a word of disapproval was uttered, and they were all afterward my best friends. And the result was that in a few weeks, Broadlands, Lord and Lady Mount Temple's place in Hampshire, was thrown open to us for all the future conferences, and for our whole after-work in England and elsewhere.
When in 1874 there was to be one of these conferences at Brighton, some of the committee who were helping to organize it got frightened about my heresies lest they should hinder the work, and induced my husband, who had preceded me to England, to write over to America and tell me that unless I would promise not to let my heresies be known while I was in England, they would strongly oppose my being allowed to take part in the meetings. When looking over an old package of letters lately I came across my reply, which I quote to show how I felt about it.
"Philadelphia, April 6, 1874. Thy letters from London have arrived. Thee need not think I should be grieved not to be allowed to speak in the meetings, for nothing would really suit me better. I am not in the least anxious to preach. In fact, I consider that it is a great favor on my part to be willing to do it, and not the least of a favor in people to be willing to listen to me. And if your committee should say, 'We do not want to hear you speak at Brighton,' I should have returned them hearty thanks. Nobody need feel any delicacy whatever in this direction. But it must be thoroughly understood that I compromise for nobody, and that I believe in restitution more and more. I do not think I could endure the misery I see in this poor sad sin-stricken world without it. Our temperance work brings us into contact with such helpless misery that my heart would burst if I did not know that God loves all His creatures, and has something gracious in store for every one.
"So I wrote: and, as I would not compromise, and, as it was felt important to have me at the meetings, the committee dropt the subject, and decided to take me as I was, with all my heresies."
When my husband wrote me this, I replied as follows:
"Philadelphia. I am very glad thee has got out of thy difficulty about thy heretical preaching wife with so little trouble. But the idea of B____, with shaky views of his own, undertaking to excommunicate me! I really do not think it was honest. I do not choose to sail under false colors, and I am a thousand times stronger in my views of restitution every day I live. If they let me alone in England I shall probably not say much about it, but if there is the least hint of any compromise or underhand secrecy on my part, I shall blaze out in a perfect conflagration. For I can not endure anything like that. So you must please bear this in mind, ye Lords of Creation. Soberly however I do not feel at all drawn to preach or to teach restitution over there, and if the dear frightened orthodox friends do not make any fuss about it, I shall not be likely to. Their difficulties about me do not annoy me in the least. I believe I actually enjoy being the victim of the odium theologicum. I guess there is something of the war-horse in my composition.
"Whether the fears of the committee had been well-founded or not I can not tell, I only know that never for one single moment in all my work in England was I made to feel that my views on restitution in the slightest degree hindered the entrance of the message I had to give, or closed any door for my work. In fact, I believe they made the way for me in many places that would otherwise not have been open. The truth was that my underlying belief in the absolutely unlimited justice and love of God, enabled me to speak with a far more courageous faith in Him than I could otherwise have done, and I am convinced that without it I should have been shorn of half my power."
We desire to cite but one more example. This time the incident is from the life of that distinguished missionary who spent a long life in China, Griffith John. There are many in our land and in all lands who have come under the power of his burning words; and many souls have been won for God and many missionaries and ministers have been led by his zeal and by his teaching to a life in Christ in the fulness of the power of the Holy Spirit.
On one of the most important occasions of his life, when addressing a great gathering of missionaries in convention in Shanghai, China, he said in part*:
"Now, then, let us go on. In going up and down this country, a man comes to me sometimes and says, 'Mr. John, do you suppose that all the heathen are going to hell?' And his impression is that if they do not go to bell, he has nothing to do with the mission work. Well, that is one way of putting the question; but there is another way of putting it, and I sometimes turn round and say, 'Sir, do you suppose that they are all going to heaven?' I do not know where they are going; but one thing I am perfectly sure of, that they are not fit to go to heaven; and if I could tell you tonight that all the Chinese were launched into heaven just as they leave this world, I venture to say, my friends, that very few of you would care to go there at all, unless you went as missionaries. Another says, 'Mr. John, here is a man trying to live up to the light, feeling after God. What becomes of him?' That is a difficult question, too, but I have no hesitation in saying this, that; he who worketh righteousness, whether in China or England, is accepted by Him. But then another man tells me, 'Well, Mr. John, my theological views are changed, and I do not see that I can take any special interest in the missionary work after this.' There is an old view, which, I suppose, may be presented in this aspect--that the majority of the heathen go down into endless conscious misery on their departure from this life. Do you believe this? Do you know what you are believing? I do not say you are not right, but do you really know what you are believing? If that be true, just look at what it means in regard to China. In China it is computed that some 33,000 die daily--that the daily mortality of China would drain England of its population in two years, London in four mouths, and your Manchester in nine days. Do you believe that these millions upon millions of adults are sinking into hopeless misery as they depart this life? If you do, then I o ask, in the name of God, why don't you send missionaries out to save them? If you do, why is it that you do not go out yourselves to try and save them from such a terrible calamity?
"'Well, but I do not believe,' another man says, 'in the old view. I believe in the destruction of men after a certain period of probation or punishment; I believe that they are blotted out of existence or shrivelled up into nothing.' I have been compelled to put this question to myself, 'Granted that this is the Biblical view, what then? Do you go on with your missionary life? And I have come to the conclusion that, if this is the true view, I can draw from it sufficient motive to go on with my missionary life. Here is a soul, capable of dwelling forever with God. Here is a soul capable of eternal existence, of eternal blessedness and happiness, capable of extending into a seraph, shrivelling up into nothing, or blotted out of existence. What would the blotting out of ten thousand worlds be compared with the blotting out of one soul? I do not know how you feel, but I feel that it would be worth my while going round and round the world in order to save one from such collapse.
"Then there comes the universal restoration view. Some say. 'I do not believe in the old or the second view, but I believe that all souls shall be restored at last.' What then? I am glad to be able to tell you I have looked at that view in its face, and I have come to the conclusion that I can draw even from that view sufficient motive to go on with my missionary work. Suppose, for instance, an angel were to come to me when I lay my head upon my pillow this evening, and whisper these words in my ear, 'Brother, all souls are to be restored at last all; all the heathen are to be restored at last; the Chinese are to be restored at last. You are only just beginning your missionary work, there is a long, long missionary life before you; your work in China is a mere school in which you are preparing yourself for a grander work by and by.' What would be the effect of it upon my mind? To paralyze my hand? To prevent me going back to China? No, on the contrary, I feel that if an angel were to reveal that to me as the truth of God, the spark of missionary enthusiasm in my heart today would burst into a flame.
"I should reason in this way, 'Is it so? Can it be that the human soul is worth so much? Can it be that human souls are so dear to the heart of the Father? Can it be that that great atonement can cover all guilt, and that that mighty Spirit contains all souls?' If this be true--if it be true that all souls are to be redeemed, then I go in for the missionary life, not only for this aeon, but for aeons of aeons until the Christ of whom we have heard so much these days has put all His enemies under His feet, and presented the kingdom to God the Father."
* Griffith John, the Story of Fifty Years in China, by R. Wardlaw Thompson, page 380 (A. C. Armstrong & Son, New York).
"Them that honor Me, I will honor," and what truth so vindicates God's character and honor as this of God's wondrous plan and its complete success? Again we say, ''Buy the truth, and sell it not."

Just gonna throw out another trade idea with the Phillies. Now that Krivsky has addressed the bullpen I think he needs to focus on a 5th starter. We need someone a lot better than Mays but we must not overpay to aquire him either, get someone who will be a FA after the season. This way were taking on a salary dump. So here goes:
Reds trade: prospects
Phillies trade: Cory Lidle(SP) and Shane Victorino(OF)

Computer Science is for Women
Rebekah Overdorf '12, a dual computer science and mathematics major, likes to solve problems. Besides solving the tough problems associated with higher math, Bekah is working hard to solve an image problem: she'd like to dispel stereotypes about computer science—common but completely erroneous beliefs such as "computer science is the study of computer hardware," or "computer science is for nerds who play war games," or, maybe worst of all, that "computer science is not for women."
The truth is, computer science is for anyone—and it can be the basis for a very successful and rewarding career, argues Bekah. Working with Matt Lang, assistant professor of computer science, she has taken the message to local Girl Scout troops and the Moravian Academy middle school. After giving a brief talk, Bekah and Melissa Andreas (math ed major), Jordan Pesce (computer science), and Meredith Lobb (math ed) lead smaller groups in games, puzzles, and other activities. Bekah then follows up with a discussion. "The idea is to show that computer science is fun—to replace the negative connotation with a positive one," she says.
Dr. Lang and Rebekah, who is from the Nazareth, Pa., area, recently co-authored a paper ("Reaching Out to Aid in Retention: Empowering Undergraduate Women") and submitted it to the Special Interest Group in Computer Science Education 2011, the premier computer science education conference. If the paper is accepted, they may present it at the SIGCSE 2011 conference in Dallas next March.—photo and report by Michael Clark '12

Perform a full restart
Although not always necessary, a full restart will fix many errors. To perform a full restart, first turn off the Duralabel PRO 300. Then open the job list window for the Duralabel PRO 300. This may be done by double clicking on the printer icon on the bottom right of the task bar. If no icon is seen, open start menu >> settings >> printers. Double click on the Graphic Products Duralabel PRO 300. This should open up the printer job list / queue as well. Once open, delete all print jobs that have been queued up. The next step is to clear all internal memory within the printer.
Turn the Duralabel PRO 300 off. The printer should remain off for at least 10 seconds to dissipate all internal capacitances which may store charge within the unit. Hold down the button in front of the LED while turning on the printer. Keep holding the button until the LED turns red. Release the button when the LED turns red. The printer should feed tape out during as it resets itself. Once the vinyl feed stops, the reset has been complete and you may resume normal operation.
Part of a label is printed
The printer detects the presence of tapes and the ribbon. The tape detector is located under the tape. It is the green, rectangular shaped component located just in front of the tape guides. Make sure nothing is covering or blocking this sensor. The sensor can be moved to the right and left. Be sure that the sensor is positioned in the middle of the tape path (left to right). If this sensor is no longer functioning, the Duralabel PRO 300 will need servicing.
The printer ribbon detector is located behind the print head. Behind a long horizontal black line should be a small rectangular module with two holes in it. This is the ribbon sensor. Be sure to clear this sensor of any obstructions. If this sensor requires replacement, the Duralabel PRO 300 will require servicing.
Once you have verified that both sensors are not blocked and are clean, perform a full restart.

Note to Custom DuraLabel Supplies
Certain custom DuraLabel labels may need special settings. Please see the Duralabel PRO 300 User's Guide for print setting tips. If you would like additional assistance, please contact your DuraLabel PRO 300 representative.
Print quality: random speckling
If you notice random dots in your printing, your print head may require cleaning. A good cleaning with the alcohol cotton swab included with your Duralabel PRO 300 may help improve performance. Another factor that may cause speckling is dusty or dirty vinyl. Make sure the vinyl is stored in relatively dust free environment. Dust or dirt particles on the vinyl may interfere with the transferring of ink to the vinyl. Incorrect print settings may also cause speckling in print. Either increase or decrease the darkness and/or print speed settings.
Back to Top
Print quality: streaking
If you notice streaks on your labels, there are several possibilities.
If the streaks are on the sides of the label, the printer may require servicing as internal parts may have become worn. These parts will need to be replaced.
If the streaking is more centered on the label, the ribbon may require adjustment. If the ribbon is not centered correctly, the tension may be greater on one side of the ribbon. Make sure there is no slack on the ribbon prior to printing. It may also help to slow down the printing and lower darkness setting under printing preferences.
Back to Top
LED status indicator
The LED on the top of the DuraLabel PRO 300 is used to communicate the status of the printer.
LED is Off - the printer is Off
Turn on the power switch. Check if the green LED is lit on power supply. If it is not lit, the power supply is broken. Check both power connection from the power cord to the power supply and from the power supply to the printer power jack.
LED is Solid Green - the printer is on
No action necessary.
LED is Blinking Green - the printer is paused
Press the feed button to resume printing.
The LED is Blinking Red - the printer is Stopped
Out of label or ribbon Load a roll of label stock, then press the feed button to resume printing. Load a roll of ribbon, then press the feed button to resume printing. If the printer setting is not correct, initialize the printer by performing a full restart.

Most days come and go with little significance, but for Vanessa Taylor, it only took one day to change her life forever.
October 19, 2009 was a seemingly ordinary day. With her mother battling cancer, most of Vanessa's time was spent visiting her in the hospital. That morning was no exception. Vanessa woke up and started getting ready to leave. Just as she was about to walk out the door, Vanessa was overcome with the feeling that something wasn't right.
With a shooting pain in her chest, Vanessa called an ambulance fearing that she was having a heart attack. After checking her vital signs and performing an EKG, the EMS reported normal results. Finding no cause for panic, Vanessa dismissed them and decided to go about the rest of her day as planned.
Vanessa spent the morning at her mother's bedside. She still didn't feel well, but as a self-proclaimed health fanatic for years, she didn't believe she had any reason to panic. She took some medicine and spent the afternoon drinking ginger ale. By 6 p.m. Vanessa decided to go home and rest.
Once at home, Vanessa quickly realized her plans to follow her usual remedy of soup, Tylenol, and sleep wouldn't be enough to ease her suffering. The pain was becoming unbearable, so Vanessa called an ambulance for the second time. Once again, they found nothing.
Determined to get an answer, Vanessa drove back to Palmetto Health Richland, but this time made her way to the emergency room and checked herself in. Once they heard her symptoms, the emergency room staff immediately rushed her to a room for testing. Vanessa went in and out of sleep as they performed an EKG and a CAT scan.
Vanessa finally had an accurate diagnosis. It was only after she came to Palmetto Health Heart Hospital that she finally knew what had been plaguing her for so long, an aortic dissection.
The aorta is a vital artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. An aortic dissection is a tear that occurs in the inner lining of the aorta that affects the flow of blood. This condition is relatively uncommon and is usually fatal.
Because its symptoms often mimic a heart attack, aortic dissection is often not diagnosed or treated quickly. And for this life-threatening condition, time is of the essence. For every hour left untreated, a patient's chance of death increases by 2 percent.
Racing against time, Palmetto Health Heart Hospital cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Jeffery Martin performed emergency surgery to repair Vanessa's artery. With her family's prayers and her remarkable medical care, Vanessa is now on her way to a full recovery.
A talented singer and flutist, Vanessa is grateful to be back to enjoying her life again. She credits her life to the extraordinary care and prompt diagnosis of the staff at Palmetto Health Heart Hospital. She says, "They saved my life. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them and I could never thank them enough."

The present invention relates to computer support devices and, more particularly, to an improved computer support device having a retractable keyboard shelf and including a power strip mounted on and readily accessible from the rear side of the support housing and a switch panel mounted adjacent the keyboard location on the keyboard shelf for selectively operating computer peripherals. The computer keyboard shelf unit of the present invention can be pivotally or slidingly mounted below a computer workstation, or can be slidingly positioned within a support structure for a central processing unit (CPU), monitor, printer or other computer device.
Computer users are familiar with the expansive array of peripheral components, such as monitors, printers, modems and the like which are frequently required. In addition to the space demands associated with the hardware itself, it is necessary to provide for power connections between the components and such filter equipment as is required to protect the equipment from electrical disturbances. A variety of devices have been developed to permit centralized control of a computer and its related peripheral equipment, while minimizing the space requirements for such hardware.
For example, a variety of computer support devices have been developed in which a computer CPU or monitor is supported above a support unit. The support unit may contain a sliding shelf or drawer unit which stores a computer keyboard, or such a shelf unit may be located below a computer workstation and be retractable through a sliding or pivotal motion. Frequently, such keyboard shelves are movably connected to a computer support device or a workstation desk top. A common type of keyboard is accessed by sliding a drawer unit from its stored position outward toward the operator. The drawer unit contains a section for holding a keyboard and may also contain a storage section or area for diskettes or other articles such as pens, pencils, paper clips and the like.
Typically, such computer support devices and keyboard drawers have not included power means, surge protectors or control switches. The computer and/or its peripherals are operated by switches on the respective devices or on a separate control box and are connected to an external power supply/electrical filter.
As a result of the diversity of types of computer peripheral devices which are accessed by a computer user, and the variety and interchangeability of computer user devices, such as portable units and specialty screens, there is a need for a computer support device which is able to provide a convenient central switching area for these peripherals and alternative terminals. Such a support device would allow power control of the CPU or any given peripheral from one central, easily-accessed switching area. The support device also should include a power strip with receptacles and circuit protection devices to enable the CPU, monitor, printer and other peripheral devices to derive power from one location, protected from electrical disturbances.
Heretofore, it has been known to mount peripheral control switches under such computer support devices but over the sliding keyboard shelves thereon. This arrangement has proven inefficient and difficult to access, particularly if the keyboard shelf is in a partially extended position. Further, prior art support devices of the type described above have not provided an integrated power strip in addition to allowing centralized switching and control over the power supply to the peripheral devices. This limits their utilization in that the CPU, and each peripheral, must be located near an electrical power supply and be able to access that supply. Further, the power controls of the peripherals are typically not centrally located and must be operated on each device in a separate operation.
The computer support device of the present invention eliminates these disadvantages by having an integrally mounted power strip and central switching area which allow power supply access and control of the power supply to the CPU and peripherals from the support device. By providing a central switching control, the present invention allows power control of the computer terminal and peripheral devices from one centralized and convenient location.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improved computer support, and particularly to provide a support housing which meets the aforenoted needs.
It is a specific object of this invention to provide a computer support which includes an integrated power strip and a central switching panel in a keyboard shelf or drawer unit for centralized control of the power supply to the computer and any peripheral devices.
It is another object of this invention to provide an improved computer support device which provides a centralized power supply for the computer and any peripheral devices.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an improved computer support device which avoids the disadvantages and complexities of the prior art.
It is another object of this invention to provide a computer support device with an integrated power strip and a sliding drawer unit with a computer keyboard area and storage areas.
Other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and appended claims, and upon reference to the accompanying drawings.
In accordance with one embodiment of this invention, a computer support device which achieves the foregoing objects includes a housing having front and rear sides and inside and outside portions. The device includes a drawer unit which is slidably supported on the inside of the housing for movement from a stored position on the inside portion of the housing to an extended position at the front side of the housing on the outside portion.
The housing includes a pair of channel track assemblies mounted to the inside portion at opposite side ends. The drawer unit has roller and track assemblies mounted along its side edges, at their rear, with the track assemblies extending along the side edges of the unit. The drawer unit roller and track assemblies are received in the channel track assemblies of the housing. The drawer unit is moved between the inside and outside portions of the housing by sliding the rollers of the drawer unit along the channel track assemblies of the housing.
The drawer unit also contains a switch assembly located at the rear of the unit. A switch panel portion containing the switch assembly is located in a secondary section of the drawer unit, rearward of a forward recessed section. The forward recessed section is of sufficient size to accommodate a computer keyboard. The secondary section includes a rearward recessed portion for storage as well as the switch panel portion and a passageway for a keyboard power cord located between the storage portion and the switch panel portion. The switch panel portion includes a switch assembly having a plurality of switches for directing the power supply to the computer terminal and its peripheral devices.
The housing also includes a power strip mounted on the rear side and electrically connected to the switch assembly. The receptacles of the power strip are accessible from the rear side and the power strip includes circuit protection devices.
For a more complete understanding of this invention, one should refer to the preferred embodiment illustrated in greater detail in the accompanying drawings and described below by way of an example of the invention. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a computer support device embodying this invention with the drawer unit in the closed position and a computer CPU and monitor supported on the top of the housing of the support device;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a computer support device with a sliding keyboard drawer unit shown in its partially extended position;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a computer support device with a sliding keyboard drawer unit shown in its extended position at the end of the track assemblies of the housing;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the computer support device taken along line 4--4 in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a rear view of the computer support device illustrating the integrated power strip with receptacles;
FIG. 6 is an exploded sectional view, shown in perspective, of the housing and drawer unit track assemblies;
FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the stop member in the housing track assembly;
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the keyboard drawer unit of the present invention, shown movably mounted to the underside of a computer workstation.
Turning now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a computer support device generally at 10, arranged to provide support for a computer monitor 12 and/or CPU 14. Although the monitor 12 and CPU 14 are of standard, desk-top form, the housing may also be used to support smaller portable computer units (not shown) or larger processing units (not shown). The computer equipment is supported on the top 15 of the housing. The bottom 16 of the housing is generally open. The housing includes a front side 18 and a rear side 20 and right and left sides 22 and 23, as viewed from the front of the housing.
The housing is preferably constructed of light weight materials, such as melamine laminated boards, which are sufficiently strong and sturdy to support a heavy CPU and monitor. Portions of the housing may be fastened in any reasonable manner (not shown), including bolts, adhesives, welding or the like. The top 15 is fastened to the sides 22, 23, and reinforced by bracing 24, 25, shown in FIG. 4.
The support housing 10 is shown in FIG. 2 with a drawer unit 30 in a partially open position, allowing access to a keyboard and various controls. The drawer unit 30 is shown in a partially open position outside of the housing 10 in FIG. 2, in contrast to the unit's stored position inside the housing 10, as shown in FIG. 1. The drawer unit 30 is substantially flat and generally rectangular. The unit 30 is bounded by a front distal edge 32 oriented toward the user's position, a rear edge 34 (shown in FIG. 3), and opposing side edges 36, 38. The top 40 of the drawer unit 30 is divided into a first section 42, located generally toward the front distal edge 32 of the unit, and a second area 44, located generally near the rear edge 34 of the unit.
The first section 42 of the drawer unit 30 includes a keyboard tray recess 46. The recess is formed in the drawer unit 30 and surrounded by a lip 48, located at the front edge 32; side walls 50, 52, located at the side edges 36, 38; and, a rear wall 54, located forward of and bordering on the secondary section 44. A handle 49 is formed in lip 48 to facilitate operator movement of the drawer unit 30 from the closed position to the open position. The recess 46 is of sufficient size and depth to allow placement of a standard computer keyboard within the unit 30. The lip 48 is also of sufficient width to allow resting of the hands of the operator on the lip while using the keyboard. An aperture 56 is formed in the base of the recess 46 to allow passage of any cords which may connect to the computer keyboard. Placement of the keyboard within the recess 46 allows access to the keyboard by extension of the drawer unit 30 to its open position and storage of the keyboard beneath the housing by returning the drawer unit to its stored position. The housing thus provides a compact and efficient manner of storage and access of the cumbersome computer keyboard.
The second section 44 of the drawer unit 30 includes a storage portion 58, a passageway 60 and a switching portion 62. The storage portion 58 is preferably of sufficient width and depth to allow storage of pencils or pens or the like. Alternatively, the storage area may be of sufficient depth to allow storage of diskettes (not shown).
The passageway 60 is a recessed area for passage of the keyboard cord (not shown) to the housing area. The tunnelling is provided to insure a resting of the cord within the area and avoid entanglement of the cord with the movement of the drawer unit 30. The switching portion 62 includes a switching assembly 64 and a plurality of switches 66. Switches 66 control the power supply to the computer and peripheral devices (not shown). Within the switching assembly 64 is an electrical network (not shown) which is accessed by power cable 68. The power cable 68 is connected to an external power strip 90, shown in FIG. 5. Once properly connected, operator manipulation of the switches 66 allows power control of the computer and its peripheral devices from the drawer unit 30.
The drawer unit 30 is supported in the housing by a pair of housing track assemblies 70, 80, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The track assemblies 70, 80 are mounted on the inside of the sides 23, 22 of the housing, respectively. Each housing track assembly includes a channel member 72 having a front end 73 and a rear end 74. The front end 73 includes a round stop member 75 and a slot 76, located rearward of the stop member 75, shown in FIG. 6.
The drawer unit 30 moves on the track assemblies 70, 80 by rollers 82, located at the rear end of the drawer unit, and unit track assemblies 84, located at the sides of the drawer unit. As the assemblies on each side of the drawer unit and housing are essentially identical, only the left side is shown in detail and described. The rollers 82 enter the housing track assembly 70 through the slot 76. The unit rollers 82 slide along the housing track assembly 70 from the stop member 75 at the front end 73, when the unit is in the open position, to the rear end 74 of the track assembly 70, when the unit is in the closed position. The round stop member 75 allows easy removal of the drawer unit 30 from the housing track assembly 70. Thus, the drawer unit 30 is easily moved by the operator from the closed position to the open position by sliding the rollers along the track assemblies. Stop member 86, shown in FIG. 7, releasably engages drawer unit roller 82 when drawer unit 30 is extended to its open position to restrain horizontal sliding movement of the drawer unit 30 while the keyboard is in use.
As previously mentioned, the switches 66 in the drawer unit 30, when properly connected, control the power of the terminal and any peripheral devices. The switches 66 are connected to a power strip 90 by power cable 68. The power strip 90 is itself connected to an external power supply by power cord 92. The power strip 90 also includes circuit breakers 94 and additional power outlets 96. Also included, but not shown, are surge protection devices contained within power strip 90. Optionally, such surge protection equipment can include an alarm with a shut-off switch as is illustrated at 95 in FIG. 5. The power outlets 96 allow connection of the power cords of the computer, including the central processing unit 14 and the power cords of any peripheral devices (not shown). Proper electrical network connection allows control of the power supply to the terminal and peripherals by the switches 66 of the drawer unit 30.
Also mounted at the back side of the support housing and, in the power strip box 90 in the preferred embodiment, are outlets 98 for the interconnection of telecommunication components.
Thus, a computer support housing has been provided which meets the aforestated objects. The stand has a centralized control of the power supply to the computer terminal and peripheral devices. It provides an integrated power strip which is easily accessible from the rear of the housing. It provides a sliding drawer unit with a recessed keyboard area and storage area.
FIG. 8 shows an alternative embodiment of the present invention. It will be appreciated that the novel keyboard drawer unit described herein need not necessarily be included within a desk top computer support housing. For example, the advantages of the present invention may be realized in a computer workstation where the keyboard drawer unit is movably positioned under the work surface, such as being slidingly engaged therein or pivotally mounted with respect thereto. The corresponding power strip can be mounted on the under-the-counter drawer unit, on the underside of the workstation counter or to some other portion of the workstation.
While one preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated, it will be understood, of course, that the invention is not limited to this embodiment. Those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains may make modifications and other embodiments employing the principles of this invention, particularly upon considering the foregoing teachings.

STORRS -- Kevin Ollie kept his promise.
Just over a month ago, at Senior Night, the head coach of the UConn Huskies stood in front of the student section at Gampel Pavilion and shouted out for all to hear, "I'm planning to come here in April and raise a banner." And late Monday night, Ollie delivered on that promise as UConn defeated Kentucky 60-54 to win the NCAA title -- it's fourth since 1999.
No other men's program has come close to that in that span. Florida, Duke and North Carolina have two titles each.
"This team worked so hard and when you believe and you leave your egos behind, this is what happens," said Ollie, surrounded by cameras and an estimated 7,500 fans who welcomed the Huskies home at Gampel Pavilion on Tuesday.
"A lot of people didn't see it, but I saw it and the guys in the locker room saw it. I knew we had something special. That's why I said it ¦ they made me look good."
And even more impressively, this fourth title comes on the heels of a season when the Huskies were banned from any postseason play due to poor academic standards. They were also left out in the cold by both the Big Ten and the Atlantic Coast Conference in their expansion plans.
UConn (32-8) needed overtime to get past St. Joseph's in the opening round but then knocked off Villanova to reach the Sweet 16. From there, the Huskies defeated Iowa State and Michigan State to get to the Final Four. And in front of 79,000 people at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, UConn stunned Florida and then held off the Wildcats to further solidify its place among the greatest college basketball programs of all time.
"We're one of them, we're one of the best (college programs)," Ollie said. "Just what we've come through. Everyone's seen our resilience, everyone's seen our fight, and that's what coach (Jim) Calhoun built. He built it on togetherness and toughness and family and we exemplified that in Texas, we exemplified it in Buffalo, we exemplified it in Madison Square Garden (in New York City) and we exemplify it again in how we're motivated to win and how we're motivated for each other."
The Huskies landed at Bradley around 4:45 p.m. and -- after a McDonald's stop for burgers after leaving the airport -- the team made its way to campus, arriving at Gampel a little after 6:30 p.m. to raucous cheers.
"It's so great to see the kids get the spotlight that they rightfully deserve," Ollie said. "Not only for this year but for last year, too. To see them get the accomplishments that they deserve, it's great."
At the end of the player introductions, Shabazz Napier was thrust into the spotlight, becoming the 19th player -- and the 24th inductee -- onto the UConn men's Huskies of Honor wall. Napier's mother, Carmen Velasquez, pulled down the covering showcasing Napier's No. 13.
"Oh man, wow ¦," a visibly emotional Napier said watching the ceremony. "I never thought I'd be going into the Huskies of Honor. This is crazy."
But he dreamed of it. Four years ago, as a freshman, Napier watched Kemba Walker receive his plaque on the wall after leading the Huskies to the 2011 NCAA title.
"I can remember watching Kemba in this same moment and I was in awe of him," Napier said. "I wanted to be where he was at and follow in his footsteps. This is such a bittersweet moment. Four years goes by so fast ¦ to end it with a national championship, it means so much to me."
Napier finished his career with 1,959 points (fourth at UConn), 646 assists (third) and 251 steals (second) as well as 576 career rebounds.
Oh, and he's also got two NCAA championship rings.
Next up, the NBA.
"I know that he's going to be an NBA star. He's going to be up there and do well," Ollie said. "Hopefully he'll get on the right team and push that team to a championship because he's does so much more than just basketball. He's a great leader and a great person."
While Napier's path to the NBA is clear, two other Huskies' futures are still in question. Ryan Boatright and DeAndre Daniels could both declare early for the NBA draft. If they return, Boatright will be a senior and Daniels a junior. And along with Amida Brimah, Omar Calhoun, Phillip Nolan, Terrence Samuel and redshirt Rodney Purvis, who sat out this season after transferring from North Carolina State, there is a solid nucleus in place to make a run at a second straight NCAA crown.
So leave it to Ollie to throw down another potential promise.
"On Senior Night, I told you all to save this date, remember?" Ollie said, pausing to let the cheers die down. "The reason I said that was because I knew what kind of team I had. We're going to continue fighting and we're going to keep playing with pride and we're going to try and win another one next year."

This short course is designed for those who have never used Adobe After Effects, or those who might need a refresher course on how it is laid out. Chris Meyer takes a whirlwind tour through the program, helping overcome the "blank canvas" fear that confronts many the first time they launch the program. It will serve as both an excellent introduction to the After Effects Apprentice lessons on lynda.com, as well as a preliminary overview for any new user before launching into their first tutorial or class. Exercise files are included with the course.
The After Effects Apprentice videos on lynda.com were created by Trish and Chris Meyer and are designed to be used on their own and as a companion to their book After Effects Apprentice. We are honored to host these tutorials in the lynda.com Online Training Library®.
After you have been working in your composition for a while, there comes a point where you will want to preview it and then eventually render it to disk. There are a few different ways to preview. The most obvious way is usually not the way you want to do it. For example, if you just press the Spacebar, After Effects will start calculating frames from the Current Time Indicator forward, then attempt to play back the calculated frames in real time. The problem with this is that it calculates your entire composition, and if you have a really long comp--maybe a few minutes--you may not want to play through the whole thing. You may want to play through only an isolated segment.
The better way to preview is to make sure your Preview panel is open, reveal enough of it to see this Preview button in the upper-right corner, and select RAM Preview. The shortcut is pressing the 0 key on the extended numeric keypad. This also tells After Effects: calculate all of the frames, store them into RAM, so you can play them back quickly, then play them back in real time. The additional advantage of RAM preview is that it obeys something called the work area. This gray bar called the Time Ruler, we can actually adjust its start and end points and say, I only want to work on and focus on and preview just this section of my composition.
When you do that, invoking a RAM Preview--such as by pressing 0--plays back just that segment of your comp. This makes it much easier to focus on a piece of the time as you work your way through a longer composition. There are shortcuts to quickly set the work area, to set the beginning, move the Current Time Indicator where you want to start, and press B for Beginning. To set the endpoint of the work area, move the Time Indicator to where you like and press not E for End but N for End; E has other uses in After Effects. So, N ends the work area.
If you want to go back to previewing the entire composition, double-click in the middle of the Work Area bar and it will fill the entire length of your Timeline automatically. Most of the time on working After Effects, we perform a normal RAM Preview; however, if you are finding that your computer is a bit slow, you might to try a Shift Preview. In this case, if you hold down the Shift key while pressing 0 on the numeric keypad, you will use this alternative set of options in the Preview panel. The default option is to skip frames, basically render every other frame.
So if you have a high-resolution composition or a slow computer, this is a quicker way to perform a preview, because you are just previewing every other frame. You can also change the frame rate, you can change the resolution, as well as other options. A new form of preview that they added in After Effects CS5 is the Option or Alt Preview. If you hold down the Option key on Mac or Alt key on Windows then press 0 on the numeric keypad, After Effects will preview just the five frames before the Current Time Indicator. This is useful if you trying to check very specific motion, such as the edges of a mask or a blue screen, just to make sure it's not chattering or moving in ways you don't expect.
Again, highly specialized but useful in certain situations, and those are the various preview options in After Effects. Let's move on to rendering.

Following Supreme Court decision, the Texas redistricting battle returns to San Antonio courtroom
The case is back in front of the San Antonio judges, who are trying to decide what happens next. The state asked the court to drop the case, because lawmakers passed new maps and because the U.S. Supreme Court released Texas and other jurisdictions from a requirement to get federal preclearance on any changes in their election law. The judges didn't set another hearing date, but they set a number of deadlines for legal briefs starting at mid-month. [Read More]

I used to have a homeless friend in Tampa when I was a teenager. He was mainly homeless for the reason that he would have seizures, that kept him in fear of committing himself to any regular form of activities. He was quite handy and did all sorts of odd jobs, but would disappear for a week or so only to return with bruises from lossing himself to these horrible siezures. I still think about that old friend and how many opportunities he missed out on because of that curse.

Lol, any one of us could wind up homeless tommorow, with or without siezures. My point is I was exposed to a worse case scenario at an early age, and his reasons for being afraid (which was the actual root of the problem) were very valid indeed. I also didn't mention he was a dwarf (less than 4 foot tall in his mid twenties) and had no family that he could contact for support. The reason I knew him was because we were on the brink of being homeless ourselves and the guy guy had an awesome personality.

Assistant Professor of French
Office: Burrus-Dickinson
Phone: (309)467-6338
Email: email@example.com
BA, French/Art, Hiram College, 1967
MA, French, University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, 1970
Research Interests
My interests lie with Francophone literature from France and Africa, Canada and the Antilles. I also find issues of intolerance and marginalization to be of particular interest.
Teaching Interests
I enjoy teaching "FrancoLit" and French Composition, both at the 300-level. To enable students of French to appreciate the Francophone world and to express themselves beyond the basic French is important to me.
I also find leading my Senior Seminar, "Can't We All Just Get Along?", which addresses issues of intolerance in our world and the various ways societies have dealt with "Others" particularly rewarding every semester.
Professional Activity
In the twilight of my professional activity, I find that travel with students to countries in Africa, to Greece and Hawai'i has been important. While traveling on my own I stop at important historical venues, for example the Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University in Michigan and the museum in Bayeux, France to study the Bayeux Tapestry, which has been especially exciting and useful.
I have only known the world of educators. My father was an English professor at SUNY-Brockport, and during my early years I certainly benefited from interaction with his colleagues. Higher education is very important in my extended family – I am among several in the third generation to earn undergraduate masters degrees, and my father, husband and daughter all earned their doctoral degrees. The pursuit of lifelong learning is engrained early on.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- New Mexico women's basketball hosts BYU Saturday, Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. inside The Pit. The Lobos are 10-8 overall and 2-3 in the Mountain West Conference. BYU brings an 8-8 overall mark into Albuquerque along with a 2-2 conference record. This will be the 59th meeting between New Mexico and BYU.

Up Next For Lobo Basketball
Game #19 vs. BYU Sponsored by Pepsi and News Radio 770 AM KKOB
Saturday, Jan. 26, 2008 2 p.m.
The Pit/Bob King Court Albuquerque, N.M.
Live Stats, Audio and Video: www.GoLobos.com, All-Access
Radio: 610 AM (The Sports Animal) - Joe Behrend and Hazel Tull-Leach will call the action from courtside at The Pit.
Against BYU: This will be the 59th meeting between New Mexico and BYU. BYU leads the series 35-23, but New Mexico holds court in The Pit at 16-11. The Lobos are 5-1 in the last six meetings in Albuquerque, but each team won on the road last season. The series goes back to 1975.
Up Next: The Lobos will have a week to rest up for PACK THE PIT against UNLV on Saturday, Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $4 for adults and $2 for children. Santa Ana Casino is sponsoring the game with a sports watch as the fan gift.
Crowd Factor ... Lobo women's basketball crowds at The Pit have ranked in the NCAA Top Five in average attendance for the past seven years. The Lobos cracked the 8,000 average mark for the first time this season following the Dec. 18 crowd of 8,711 against Stanford. UNM is averaging 8,065 fans in 12 home games of the season and had three consecutive games of 8,700+ in attendance from Dec. 15-21.
Saturday Matinee ... It's not often that the Lobos get an afternoon game in the friendly confines of The Pit. It will be just the second home afternoon game of the season. The first was a 67-38 win over Northwestern on Nov. 11. The first 2,500 fans will receive a Howl Towel.
Mark Your Calendars ... The Lobos will be hosting several big promotions over the remainder of the regular season.
THINK PINK sponsored by the UNM Cancer Center and UNM Hospital, in conjuction with the WBCA's annual breast cancer awareness initiative, Wednesday, Feb. 13 vs. San Diego State.
Last Time Out - at Utah - L, 60-57 ... UNM came close to starting the league road season undefeated at 3-0, but watched a 14-point lead disappear as Utah beat the Lobos, 60-57. Sophomore Amy Beggin, playing her 10th complete game of the season, scored a team-high 16 points for the Lobos. The Lobos jumped out to a 9-2 lead on a three-pointer by freshman Jessica Kielpinski, who made her second start of the season. Utah cut the lead to 9-7, but junior Angela Hartill came off the bench to hit back-to-back three-pointers to keep the Lobos ahead, 15-9. Hartill finished the game with a career-high four three-pointers. New Mexico built to a 23-13 lead, the largest of the first half, on a three-pointer by sophomore Eileen Weissmann. The Lobos kept the Utes at bay, taking a 31-23 lead into the locker room at halftime. The second half started much the same way with the Lobos holding off Utah, never allowing the Utes closer than five early in the half. Senior Brandi Kimble sandwiched two three-pointers around a Dionne Marsh jumper to build the Lobo lead to 14, 52-38, with 7:53 left in the game. But one minute and 34 seconds later, Kimble picked up her fifth foul of the game and Utah took advantage. Utah went on an 18-0 run and New Mexico's shooting went stone cold, as the Utes took their first lead of the game, 54-52, on a jumper by Kaylee Whipple with 52 second left in the game. Leilani Mitchell added two free throws to put the lead at 56-52. Beggin finally ended the Lobo drought with a basket at 26.4 seconds to cut the score to 56-54. Mitchell hit two more free throws to make the score 58-54, before Beggin hit a three with 10 seconds left to cut the Ute lead to one, 58-57. But the Lobos could not translate missed Utah free throws into points in the last three seconds of the game. Marsh led the Lobos with a career-high five assists to go along with nine points and seven rebounds. Beggin played a complete 40-minute game for the sixth time in the last seven games. The Lobos continue to improve their long distance shooting, hitting 11 three-pointers at a 57.9 percent clip against Utah. It was the 154th consecutive game that the Lobos have made a three-point shot.
About BYU (8-8, 2-2) ... The Cougars, under the direction of head coach Jeff Judkins, are coming into The Pit on the heels of two tough MWC losses to Utah at home and San Diego State on the road. Mallary Carling (nee Gillespie) leads the team with 13.9 points per game and 47 assists. Lauren Varley is tops on defense with 8.1 rebounds per game and 20 blocked shots.
RPI Watch Underway ... This is the time of year that teams hoping for a post-season NCAA bid start watching their RPI as much as the national polls put out by the Associated Press and ESPN, USA Today and the coaches. The official NCAA RPI reports were first released in early January. There are at least three other unofficial RPI rankings that teams keep an eye on late in the season - collegerpi.com, The Women's RPI Report, and Jeff Sagarin.
Scoring 60 ... The Lobos are 32-0 when scoring at least 60 points over the past two seasons. When the Lobos score under 60 points, the record is 2-17. The last time New Mexico lost a game in which it scored 60 points was the second round of the 2006 NCAA Tournament against Baylor in Tucson, 87-67.
Love That Defense ... The Lobos are currently ranked 9th in the country in scoring defense, only allowing opponents to score 53.2 points per game. UNM is also among the top 50 in the nation in turnovers per game (31st; 15.4), rebound margin (40th; +5.9), personal fouls per game (48th; 15.4) and field goal percentage defense (32nd; .362).
154 and Counting ... The Lobos extended their streak of making a three-point field goal to 154 consecutive games with 11 on Jan. 23 at Utah. The last time UNM did not make a three-point basket was Feb. 27, 2003 vs. UNLV.
