Volleyball Avenges Loss To Butler With 3-1 Win on Sunday
OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton Volleyball team avenged its lone BIG EAST loss of the season with a 3-1 victory over Butler on Sunday afternoon at D.J. Sokol Arena.
Scores of the match in favor of Creighton were 25-22, 25-14, 20-25, 25-19.
Creighton improved to 14-4 (5-1 BIG EAST) with its season-high fifth straight win, while Butler fell to 16-5 (3-3 BIG EAST).
Creighton never trailed in the opening set. Jess Bird had a pair of kills in a 3-0 burst that helped Creighton open up a 19-16 lead. Butler would close within one point at 20-19 before a BU service error and consecutive Kelli Browning kills gave CU a 23-19 cushion. A kill from Leah McNary finished off Creighton's 25-22 win. Bird had six kills and five digs to pace a CU offense that produced 17 kills in the opening frame on .286 hitting. Butler was led by seven kills from Stephanie Kranda.
Extended serving runs from Melanie Jereb and Bird helped Creighton take a 9-6 lead in the second set, and CU steadily pulled away for the 25-14 win to take a 2-up lead into the break. McNary had five kills on as many swings to highlight a Bluejay attack that hit .321. CU's block also picked up with five stuffs, including four from setter Michelle Sicner, as CU held Butler to .000 hitting in 29 swings.
Butler extended the match with a 25-20 third set victory, never trailing afer taking a 2-1 lead on a solo block from Erica Stahl. Stahl would have three of her match-high eight stuffs in the fame, while Belle Obert had four kills to pace the Bulldog attack and help hold CU to -.023 hitting. Clinging to a 15-14 lead, the Bulldogs unleashed a 5-0 run on Maggie Harbison's serve to lead to the win.
The fourth and final set featured 14 ties and seven lead changes before Creighton ultimately earned the 25-19 win. Creighton broke free from a 16-all score with three straight points and would not trail again. Butler would close to within 19-18, only to see CU come out of a timeout with Melanie Jereb's lone kill of the day followed by an Ashley Jansen service ace. Kate Elman also provided an ace to move Creighton to match point, which was capped by Browning's sixth kill of the set and match-best 15th of the day.
Browning tied her season-high with 15 kills on .385 hitting while also providing a team-best five blocks on the afternoon. McNary had 14 kills, while Bird had 10 kills and tied her season-high with 18 digs. Sicner tied a school-record with her eight straight double-double, finishing with 44 assists, 10 digs, five kills and four blocks. Elman shared match-high accolades with 18 digs and three aces. Creighton tallied 58 kills, 70 digs, five aces and nine blocks on .221 hitting.
Butler finished with 43 kills, seven aces, 50 digs and 14.0 blocks on .174 hitting. Obert topped the visitors with 13 kills, one more than Kranda. Brooke Ruffolo had 17 digs, while Morgan Peterson finished with 34 assists, eight digs, four kills and four blocks.

Francis ChanSep 11 2012,
The work and ministry of sermonindex can be encapsulated in this one word: REVIVAL. sermonindex is not a organization, business, or any attempt by man to build something for God. It is rather a expression of a heart burden to see the Church revived and brought back to holiness, purity, and power with God. "The mission of SermonIndex is the preservation and propagation of classical vintage preaching and the promotion of genuine biblical revival to this generation."

Comments about Evidence Audio Siren II Speaker Cable:
I bought an Evidence Syren II speaker cable a while back. The first thing I noticed was that my mids were really awesome. I use it on my marshall and diezel amps...The sound is clear, not harsh and the mids are just so beautiful...The low end is in your face as well. The cord sounds better and better the more you play it. I believe it said that by the tenth hour of playing, the cable will be giving you the its true sound. I don't know what that means...but I know it just sounds amazing... Yes, they are pricey, but if you are serious about tone, then get it!!!!

MOGADORE -- A small fine arts school in Portage County is one of 20 nationwide to receive help from the new NBC show "Smash."
Falcon Academy of Creative Arts has had a rough year, but it is looking up.
The school was chosen to receive help from New York City Broadway theater teachers and some funding for their spring musical.
Earlier this year, they lost $250,000 in funding, so it has been hard to make ends meet.
WKYC Education Reporter Kim Wheeler visited the school to see what it takes to be a "Smash" school.
The school will have an open house for interested students on Feb. 21 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Call (330) 673-4514 for more information.

Staging Etiquette
Posted 06 July 2006 - 07:51 PM
So I've found out from this forum that this is called "staging" - is it called the same when the person doing it is totally inexperienced?
Anyway I wanted to get some tips and advice on what I should and should not be doing in terms of etiquette and good form - of course want to be truly helpful/useful and at the same time learn as much as I can, but also don't want to -off the PC through gaucheness and getting underfoot. It's always good to be prepared and know what to expect.

Since you are not looking to get hired there, you are not necessarly looking to impress them or out-do someone else, so just relax. Being a pastry chef professionally and also baking at home, I can relate to both worlds. Generally speaking there isnt a whole lot of difference when it comes down to the basics. Mixing cake batter in a hotel is the same as you do it at home except in a hotel you will be mixing it in a bowl large enough for you to crawl into. Commonly hotels use cake mixes and they look on the back of the package for baking instructions just as you would at home. But of course there are some major differences such as hotels have lots of equipment that you cant afford at home and the have the space and knowledge to do stuff like large sugar show pieces, exotic cakes, chocolate work, etc. Something also that is a big difference is that consistency is very important. Meaning are the cookies that you made yesterday the same shape, size, taste, and color as the ones you made today? Are the truffles you rolled all exactly the same size?
To give you an idea of what to expect, you will most likely be there anywhere from 3-10 hours. You will be given basic tasks. Usually chefs give you tacks to see how well you work, how clean you are, how organized you are, and if you know basic techniques. For example they may have you scale out, mix, scoop, and bake a muffin batter.
For you I would say that either they will have you help somone else do something like help make something, or you will assist the pastry chef in doing something basic such as putting cookies on a tray, scooping muffins, etc. I would highly doubt they would leave you incharge of doing something (not because they dont think you know how to mix a cake batter, but because first there reliable if you get hurt, and second if for some reason you make a mistake it can be costly both in time and money).
This is getting long, so back to your question. Things that I always do when I stage is 1) always keep your work space clean and organized, 2) be consistent with everything you do, 3) Ask questions in a way that doesnt annoy the chef (meaning dont ask too many questions, ask why he/she prefers to do something that way instead of another way, if you are having problems making something at home dont be afraid to ask what you are doing wrong) 4) stay out of everyones way as much as possible.
One key point for you - Always be aware of everything that is going on around you. Unlike at home, there are 3-4 working around you and commonly in a very small space. Lastly dont ask for recipes unless they offer. Take mental notes in your head about techniques.
Good luck and have fun. Post a comment when you are done to inform us how it went.

find out where everything is through good observation. that way you don't have to ask someone every time you need something. like, where's the flour? where's a spoon? where's a bowl? etc. drives people nuts.

Some people will introduce you to everyone, while others don't. If a staff member looks at you funny, just introduce yourself and be friendly. Most people are happy to help and will be curious about what you're doing.

And my two most important points. 1...when you get there, introduce yourself to the person whos in charge. when i was at trotter's (two weeks), on my first day i went about working my tail off for 7-8hours and trotter walked in and was going over the staff meeting with others so i didnt bother him, but when he was done, he took a bee line to me, grabbed my chefs knife in mid chop an dsiad "Hey Im chuck, but im sure you knew that already." he was nice about it, but he was a bit preturbed.
and 2... eat family meal if they have one. i staged once and skipped it figuring i would get ahead on prep and to make a long story short when i got home after 16, yes 16, hours there i couldnt walk up the stairs to bed because i hadnt eaten or drinken in 16 hours! my body literally shut down. not good.
But have fun!!! hope i didnt scare you away. i strongly encourage stages.

people will expect different things of you depending on where you stage. in fine dining restaurants, stages are there to crack and separate eggs, stay out everyone's way, and to please only ask questions when someone has time to answer, which is rare. i certainly don't mean to sound discouraging about it - the point is that it's up to you to keep your eyes and ears open at all times while quietly and quickly performing these seemingly inane tasks. observation is priceless.
as for practical preparations, everything everyone else said: good shoes, eat something beforehand, keep your hair back, and introduce yourself to the folks in the kitchen - this includes the dishwashers and porters. and keep cleaning up after yourself. anyone who has worked in a restaurant couldn't stress these points enough.
it's also important to make the terms of the apprenticeship clear with your chef and to honor your commitment. if you agree to an 8 hour say once a week, don't untie your apron 7 hours into the shift.
all that said, good luck and have fun. the first time in a kitchen can be a very exciting and lifechanging experience.

There are alot of variables: What type of kitchen it is, what sort of person you will be trailing/working with, what time of day you are there, what day of the week it is, what sort of day they are having, what sort of mood the staff is in, what you expect of the experience, what they expect of the experience, what they expect of you, on and on.
Don't be afraid, but don't go doing anything that you have not been told to do, asked to do, or had demonstrated for you. Personal initiative isn't exactly what they will be looking for from you. If they want you to do something, they will tell you what that is, show you where you can do it - and should show you how they want it done.
If this is something that extends beyond one or two days, as you get to know the people there and they start to see what they can trust you to do then you will know that and can go with it - but take your lead from the person you are with. Be polite, be respectful, be astute, be helpful where practical.
Posted 09 July 2006 - 12:16 PM
Assuming they will let you in with some regularity - and since you say - 'help out' it sounds like you will have that - the first day will probably be mostly familiarization and watching, staying out of the way,listening, learning
I would take along a small notepad (palm sized) and a pen. these should fit well in your pocket
Wear clear, practical, tidy pants and shirt
tieing your hair back and having a clean baseball cap is also good
practical comfortable closed toe shoes with non-slip soles (preferably not sneakers) are a good idea
After the first day, they will probably start showing you things that they want you to do
Do what they ask - as exactly as you can to how they show you.
If it is a task that involves doing something many times - like slicing apples - get confirmation after slicing one on your own that this is how they want it done - if they are not watching, go to the person who tasked you, wait til it is convenient for them to pay attention to you, then show them what you have done and ask "like this?"
then you can confidently move ahead with the task.
Don't worry about doing things fast - they will not expect you to be fast. Trying to work fast will just cause flubs. It is more important to figure out exactly how to do something right and then you will naturally become faster with time. Doing what you are told and doing it well will make them happy and will make you feel great. The fun thing at this stage of the game is learning magic chef tips and tricks - something new practically every day.
Be a sponge - absorb everything, do your best. Have fun.

Chefette, I have been the grateful recipient of your sage advice myself, but I wanted to gently inquire as to exactly how transparent are you suggesting that Little Island's clothing be??? Surely that will make for an unforgetable experience, but as she hopes to be invited back should she be a teensy more opaque in her dress????
PS. too lovely of a typo to pass up

Back to the question......
As in any job, if you have to travel far to retrieve a certain something from a back storeroom or a basement freezer, an "Anybody need anything from the ____?" before you trot off goes a long long way.....

The Supreme Court on Monday began hearing arguments on two cases involving life-without-parole sentences for juvenile offenders. In Graham v. Florida, Terrance Graham pled guilty to burglary and assault or battery. He was sentenced to probation, but then at the age of 17, he was arrested for home-invasion robbery and eluding police. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for violating probation.
The upcoming decision has implications for social psychology because of presumptions about the impact of prison on rehabilitation, as well as the potential distinction between young (highly transformable) and older minds.
While the Court seems to be leaning toward allowing for a legal distinction between adults and juveniles in sentencing guidelines, Justice Scalia expressed early dissent, suggesting that sentencing is not only for deterrence: "One of the purposes is retribution, punishment for just perfectly horrible actions."
But the judge who sentenced Mr. Graham did not seem to have retribution in mind when he told the boy, "I don't understand why you would be given such a great opportunity to do something with your life and why you would throw it away … if I can't do anything to get you back on the right path, then I have to start focusing on the community and trying to protect the community from your actions."
The New York Times published an editorial expressing disapproval of such strict sentences for children. While Roberts and Gebotys (2006) found that "the public is more concerned with the principle of just deserts than with the utilitarian sentencing aims," there is little support for sentencing a child for life. In fact, Scott, Reppucci, Antonishak and DeGennaro (2006) found that adults in their study believe there is a significant and consequential difference between juveniles and adults, and that sentences should reflect that difference.

Galaxy S4's Camera Wins Shootout With iPhones
First came a report that gave higher grades to the Samsung Galaxy S4's display over the iPhone 5. Now a French digital optics firm says the new Samsung smartphone's camera does better than the current and former iPhone models when it comes to image quality and color reproduction. The report, however, does highlight the question of how many megapixels is enough for the average consumer.
May 25, 2013 5:00 AM PT
The Samsung Galaxy S4's rear-facing camera beats those in the iPhone 5 and 4S as well as other Samsung smartphones, according to a report from digital image specialists DxO Lab.
The 13 MP GS4 camera tallied an overall DxOMark score of 75, while the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S III all scored 72.
First place was taken by the Nokia 808 PureView, which has a camera with 41 MP resolution for a DxOMark score of 77 points.
The improving quality of smartphone cameras could force digital cameras into a niche.
"As camera quality continues to improve in smartphones, the use case for carrying a dedicated camera continues to decrease over time," Michael Morgan, a senior analyst at ABI Research, told TechNewsWorld. "My girlfriend has an iPhone 5 ... and she is a Mac head to the core, and when she saw the shots I was taking with the S4 she was strongly impressed."
Some Details of the DxO Report
In bright light, the S4's camera makes good use of its fast, efficient [autofocus] and robust and reliable auto-exposure systems to maximize image detail from the 13 MP sensor and deliver images with fully saturated color, DxO Lab said.
Overall image quality for the Galaxy S4 is good, but its camera still has some of the typical flaws that differentiate smartphone cameras from the better digital cameras, according to the Lab's report.
Plus points for photo mode are good detail preservation in bright light; fast, accurate autofocus in both auto and trigger mode with little overshooting; good auto-exposure even in tricky lighting conditions; pleasing, rich colors in a variety of lighting conditions; and good image quality with flash.
Cons for photo mode are a significant loss of detail in low-light due to excessive noise reduction, strong ringing artifacts which lead to oversharpening halos, and slight color shading which is noticeable under low-level tungsten lighting.
Pros for video mode are good colors and good texture reproduction. Cons are visible aliasing and a staircase effect, strong noise levels in low-light conditions, "disappointing" video stabilization, and the occasional failure of the autofocus feature.
General Observations on Smartphone Cameras
Inadequate functioning in low light "is currently one of the biggest weaknesses of today's cellphone cameras," Morgan said. "Other issues are stabilization and the frame rates of video capture."
Improvements will come over time from software -- better noise reduction techniques - and the faster, more powerful processors that can handle full 1080p and even 4K video at 120 frames per second, Morgan said. Camera sensors will also improve.
Still, "Why would you go with a 12-16 MP digital camera that costs between $100 and $200 when you can get a smartphone like the GS4 which can give you a similar quality of pictures but with more value added services, like the ability to make phone calls -- unless you're into photography and prefer using a high-end camera with detachable lenses?" asked Julien Blin, a directing analyst at Infonetics Research.
Further, the popularity of apps like Instagram lets consumers "pretty much recreate neat DSLR-quality pictures without having to buy a high-end digital camera," Blin told TechNewsWorld.
How Much Better Will We Get?
Whether smartphone cameras with more than 12-16 MP resolution will really be that much better for consumers is open to question.
"Additional MPs permit better clarity of pictures and how well they zoom, and let you preserve detail," Morgan said.
However, the 41 MP camera offered in the Nokia 808 PureView "is overkill," Infonetics' Blin noted. A 12-13 MP CMOS "is probably enough for 90 percent of mobile consumers."
Most people look at images on displays with 1-2 MP of resolution, Raymond Soneira, president of DisplayMate Technologies, told TechNewsWorld. Facebook images "are probably 0.5 MP," he added. Further, "the lens and sensor quality [of smartphone cameras] do not warrant it."

Barnes & Noble, serving all four TCC campuses and the community, will run the main TCC Bookstore at MacArthur Center and a permanent satellite bookstore at the college's Virginia Beach Campus in the Princess Anne Commons section of the city. During peak book-selling periods in the academic year, temporary on-campus distribution centers will operate on the Chesapeake and Portsmouth campuses, in addition to year-round kiosks with academic supplies and incidentals.
Barnes & Noble College Booksellers Inc. is a privately held, sister company to Barnes & Noble Inc., the nation's largest bookseller. Barnes & Noble College Booksellers manages bookstores at more than 600 colleges and universities across North America.

Desert Botanical Garden
Since 1939, the Desert Botanical Garden, nestled amid the buttes of Papago Park, has been home to one of the finest and most diverse collections of succulent plants, including rare, threatened, and endangered species from around the Southwest.
The Desert Botanical Garden sits on 145 acres and has more than 50,000 plants on display. The Living Collection contains over 21,000 accessioned plants representing 3,931 taxa in 139 plant families. The Garden's living collections in the cactus and agave families are designated as United States National Collections by the North American Plant Collections Consortium, part of APGA.
The Desert Botanical Garden has five thematic trails that illustrate a variety of topics. The Garden's Desert Discovery Trail showcases desert plants from around the world.
The Plants and People of the Sonoran Desert Trail explores how desert plants are used for nourishment and tools. The Sonoran Desert Nature Trail illustrates the relationship between desert plants and animals. The Center for Desert Living Trail represents modern living in the desert. The Harriet K. Maxwell Desert Wildflower Trail showcases desert wildflowers.
It is the only botanical garden in the world whose mission, from its early inception, is to focus solely on the conservation of desert plants and one of the few whose collections comprise a library, herbarium, living specimens, and rare and endangered plants.
Mrs. Gertrude Divine Webster, an environmentalist ahead of her time, in conjunction with a small group of Valley citizens, gathered in Papago Park to create a botanical garden whose precepts would encourage an understanding, appreciation, and promotion of the uniqueness of the world's deserts, particularly the Sonoran Desert. They foresaw the Valley's potential and unique identity, envisioning the need to conserve their beautiful desert environment. The Desert Botanical Garden continues to be a testament to their vision.

Comments On Jan 11, 2015:I think no toil products are great but I prefer the original red filter oil vs the green evolution filter oil. The filter grease works great!

Comments On Jan 09, 2015:Love this little kit, but wish they gave you more oil. Also the grease is a pain to get out of the tube, maybe they could improve on that design. Otherwise, love No-Toil!

Comments On Jan 05, 2015:I have used all kinds of air filter oils and cleaners over the years and No Toil is by far the best and easiest to use. The cleaner has the filters looking brand new in a matter of minutes( and cleans your hands pretty well too). The oil goes on very easy and once it sets up it is very tacky. The cleaner only works with their oil though.

Comments On Nov 12, 2014:If you gotta handle your oil filter into a tight space after oiling with this oil your in for a bummer, this super sticky gunk gets all over everything and is a pain to get off even with the cleaner. I'll just stick with something else from here on out.

Comments On Oct 17, 2014:I use this oil with the Twin Air foam filter and it works great. The No Toil is cheaper than the twin air oil and it works just as good. It cleans up extremely well and is tacky enough to be use in very dirty riding conditions like the rocky mountains in Colorado, and the dunes in Utah.

Comments On Aug 15, 2014:Been using old dino oil and gas to clean it for a while. This is much easyer to clean. Only takes about 2 minutes and the filter comes out spotless! no problems with it on twin air brand filters unlike what i've read about the red stuff. I'll never buy other air filter oil again,

Comments On Jul 23, 2014:The grease tube split at the seam which seems to be a common thing these days with multiple items of this type that I have used (some related others not). No problem, just slipped it into a sandwich bag to keep the mess down.
You will need a traditional filter cleaner when transition from petroleum based to bio based filter oil so plan on having something strong on hand for the initial wash if using the old stuff.
Once setup with the new stuff the cleaner works as advertised, is fairly quick and painless. Much less of a mess than dino oil.
Application of the bio oil is a bit messy. I started using a 1 gallon zip lock bag to reduce the mess and save some filter oil. Drop the filter in the bag, add some oil, seal, massage around to cover the filter. Then pop the bag open and squeeze out excess back into the ziplock bag. Press out the air and save for the next re-oil session.
This is the green oil with the water based (vs alcohol) carrier so dry time takes longer. I usually put it back on the filter frame, and back on the bike. Then leave the door open overnight to allow the water carrier to flash off. Close the door the next day and you are good to go.
If doing filter changes between motos or whatever you had better have a backup that you can rotate in due to the dry times.
No issues with the backfire screen removed and another brand's filter. Likely removes one of the two flammable risks. Will swap out filters to the notoil one when this one wears out to get the additional flame resistance as final insurance.

There has been a lot of talk as of late about Nokia potentially being acquired by Microsoft. The rumors have stated that because of a recent deal between Nokia and Microsoft that will bring several devices to Microsoft's Windows Phone platform such as unlocked Dell venue pro, LG C900, etc.. that we can soon here expect to see the companies perhaps merging, which would fall in line with what Microsoft is trying to do. A number of moves that Nokia has made in recent months seemed to support that fact, but taking a closer look we can now see that it doesn't exactly look like the rumors are true, although you can never really trust what a CEO says in regards to huge rumors such as this one because would they really want to tell you the truth anyway?
The CEO of Nokia, Stephen Elop said on Wednesday that the reports that the company had agreed to sell the cell phone part of their business to Microsoft for $19 billion is not true. There were a number of well known media outlets that reported the rumor, which has been vehemently denied by the company. The news first came from industry insider Eldar Murtazin, who seems to be behind all of the biggest rumors - some of which have turned out to be true.
"There's no basis for them," said the CEO Elop when he was asked about the rumors. It was clear that he was looking to clear the air. While he claims that the rumors are not true that may just simply mean that a deal has not been done at this time. It will definitely be interesting to see if anything about this comes out in the near future, but as of right now it looks like there is no real deal in the works. He went on to say that Nokia has never even discussed a potential acquisition and said that he does not understand where the rumors were coming from.

Some restaurant locations seem absolutely cursed! Take the former location on 4th street that housed Red Star (closed), then Mozzaria (closed), then Quatro (closed), and opening soon the Brazilian steakhouse Brazeiros Churrascaria. Or the former Fox and Hound by the Oxmoor Mall (closed), turned Champps (closed), turned who knows what?
Two popular restauranteurs are taking a stab at notorious locations bringing more Mexican goodies to Louisville.
The first is El Taco Luchador (loo-cha-door), which means fighter! I got a chance to chat with Caesar Anaya, General Manager of Guaca Mole, who filled me in with the details. This Mexican Taqueria (ta-keh-ree-ah), meaning taco shop, comes from owners Yaniel, Fernando, and Christina Martinez behind Guaca Mole and Mussel & Burger Bar. The restaurant at 938 Baxter Avenue is opening the last week of December, says Caesar, and will start serving only for dinner and remain open late on the weekends. Michelle from Consuming Louisville wrote it best when she said if anybody can break the curse of the former Ed Lee's dumpling shop (closed), 14K cupcakes (closed), and Lil Cheezers (closed), it's the Martinez group!
Caesar said the menu concept will be similar to Guaca Mole, featuring chicken mole tacos, carnitas (literally "little meats") and carne asada, grilled corn on the cob (elote callejero), tortas (sandwiches), Baja fish tacos, chicken tinga, as well as mole fries with queso fresco. The restaurant itself is small, seating around 50 people, with bright greens and purples shining from their freshly painted porch.
Will this fighter have what it takes to break the curse? They hope so, and so does Wild Rita's, opening in the former location of publicly tongue-lashed Mozz, a restaurant that did the dine-and-dash on 445 East Market Street. This comes from the Wildly successful folks of Wild Eggs with a focus on Mexican flavors and tequila featuring over 100 different types to try. Chef Tony Efstratiadis has a menu with artisanal tacos made with house-roasted, rotisserie-spit meats to ceviche, hand-made tamales and wood-fired chili rellanos, enchiladas and Mexican pizza, with prices ranging from $3 to $20.
The the 140-seat restaurant is due to open by January.

easyJet is to introduce flights from Belfast International Airport to Southend – increasing its London routes to 4 and its total routes from the airport to 22.
The London Southend service will start on 2 April next year. Flights go on sale today (26 July), with fares from £23.99 one-way including taxes.
There will be 2 flights daily from Monday – Friday; one flight on Saturday; and 2 flights on Sunday.
A multi-million pound terminal will open in October at London Southend Airport, which will be easyJet's 11th UK base.
A new airport train station due to open soon is just a minute's walk from the terminal and there will be superb rail links into London.
Central London (Liverpool Street) is just over 50 minutes away, and the journey time to Stratford is only 40 minutes.
Ali Gayward, easyJet UK commercial manager, said: "With flights already to Gatwick, Luton and Stansted, the introduction of the Southend service further strengthens our London operations.
"The airport is in a fantastic location just outside London and the fast rail links to London Liverpool Street and Stratford stations, up to eight times hourly, will be appreciated by both business and leisure travellers.
"London has, of course, a host of attractions, but many people will also enjoy what Southend has to offer, from excellent hotels, restaurants and shops, to the famous pier and one of Europe's largest free air shows."
easyJet has signed a ten-year partnership agreement with the Stobart Group, owners of the London Southend Airport.
Uel Hoey, business development director at Belfast International Airport, said: "London is a key market for us and we are delighted that easyJet is adding another gateway to its already extensive London area services.
"The addition of the Southend route to easyJet's network will be greatly appreciated by the many Northern Ireland people who go to London on business or for a leisure break."

Each year at this time when the Section 3 boys basketball committee attempts to seed teams strictly according to records, there is always plenty of heated discussion and wrangling about where certain teams belong.
Should a team with a great record that plays inferior opponents be seeded higher than a team with a lesser record that plays a more demanding schedule?
Today, when the committee meets to select the 2013 Section 3 tournament field, seeding teams will be a lot easier due to a point system established this season to select brackets.
Teams from Class AA down through Class D will be placed according to a formula which awards or subtracts points for wins and losses based the class of a teams opponent.
For instance, when a Class AA team plays another AA team the game is worth plus-5 points and minus-5 points for the winner and loser, respectively.
When a Class A team plays a Class AA team (plays up) then a win for the Class A team is worth plus-6 points and minus-4 points for a loss. The AA team earns plus-4 points for the win and minus-6 for the loss.
This scale slides up and down through the classes. The seeding index is tabulated by taking a teams total points and dividing it by the total number of games. For example, 82 points divided by 18 games gives a 4.556 seeding index.
Carthage coach Jeff Ventiquattro, a member of the Section 3 basketball committee whose team is 17-1 and should be a high seed in Class A, said the system was put in place to reward teams that play a tough schedule and try to improve against better competition.
South Jefferson coach Fred Piche said, It is good for balance in the section. Teams in Syracuse that play an almost exclusive B schedule complain that other leagues play too many C and D games which inflates their record.
For South Jefferson, which is 17-1 with its only loss to Class A Carthage, it worked to the Spartans advantage. They won five of six games against Class A teams, giving the Spartans a plus-26 points. They also played five games against Class C teams, winning all five.
The negative side is right now there are seven teams all within one game of each other in Class B, Piche said. I have no idea who well be playing.
Beaver River, at 17-1 in Class C, is in the same boat as South Jefferson. The Beavers are rewarded for playing three Class B teams (beating two), but dont gain as much for playing and beating six Class D teams.
General Brown coach Brian Nortz, another local committee member, said, We did some research from last years tournament and it barely affected anyone. This year, it could be a little different. But the teams with the good records are going to be up high no matter what.
One of the sticking points for the Frontier League is Immaculate Heart Central. They are a C school by classification numbers, but the Frontier League makes the Cavaliers play in the A Division against all Class A schools.
Said Nortz: When Carthage, WHS and Indian River play IHC (twice a season), they can only earn three points with a win, but they may lose seven with a loss. IHC, on the other hand, can gain seven and lose only three. This is a delicate part, how to deal with the private schools who may play up in the regular season but down in the sectionals.
Neither IHC nor Watertown qualified for sectionals this season.
Seitz Honored in N.C.
A recent Charlotte Observer article on former Indian River boys basketball coach Denny Seitz brings back fond memories of his time in the north country and details the loss of his wife of 49 years, Janice, who died last October of breast cancer.
After retiring from coaching in 2009 following a nine-year stint at Indian River and 137 wins, Seitz and his wife headed back to North Carolina in the winters to be closer to sons Jamie and Denny.
Seitz, 69, has helped Jamie coach the Lincoln Charter varsity boys basketball team for the past three years.
Janice was originally admitted to the hospital last September for what doctors thought was pneumonia. However, tests revealed that she advanced stage lung and breast cancer.
Janice died at age 68 on Oct. 23. A week after the funeral, Denny was back in North Carolina, and on the basketball court helping coach the Lincoln Charter team.
Called Papa Seitz by the Lincoln Charter players, they decided to do something special for Seitz. They put together a night to honor Denny after Jamie decided to donate three of his own career victories to bring his fathers total to 500.
Video tributes poured in from all over the country and were made into a seven-minute video.

The following is an exclusive on-site interview at PAX Prime 2011 that I conducted with Kyle Stallock, Community Manager at Eidos Montréal. Additional input to my last question was sent via email by Jean-François Dugas, Game Director, Deus Ex: Human Revolution at Eidos Montréal.
Geek Dad: This is a game with a great pedigree, and we know a lot of great people who have worked on it, including Warren Spector. What new features do you think add to the value of the game?
Kyle Stallock: I think the art style — you might say that it's not a game feature, but it's one of the biggest bullet points we have that separate us from the original. I know Jonathan from the beginning (our Art Director, Jonathan Jacques-Bellêtete) had wanted a particular style, and that Cyber Renaissance really kind of made that. That was the building block that made everything, so he took that and then they applied it to other aspects of the game. And, I think some of the other things that separate us are the "augmentations" themselves. We don't have swimming or first aid, but we do have other things in there, such as the typhoon system. The other one is that, back in 2000 it was going 52 years into the future. Now in 2011, we're only going to 2027. Taking that, it's not so much theoretical stuff with nano-machines as it was back then in 2000, it's more like realistic stuff so, that integrates into the game-play pretty well I think. I got to say, it's pretty much the same in terms of choices and consequences and we still have that level of depth and all that stuff so you get the pedigree there that's the essence and we still build on that in similar ways.
GD: One of the things I really enjoy about the game is that you have the ability to choose how you react and help mould your story line. How important was that in your conception of the game and giving more power to the player to mould the story and become kind of one with the action and the way the story flow went?
KS: Well, that's always integral to Deus Ex and it's important to have that in every aspect involved. There are some places where if you don't kill someone, or if you don't — it's not always straightforward decisions in the game. Sometimes the smallest decisions you make have long repercussions later, and I don't want to say it even though the game is out now, but even if it's dealing with a security guard of a police station at the front desk. It's always the essence of Deus Ex to capture it as much as you can — it's something that they strive for.

The Arkansas legislature has overridden Gov. Mike Beebe's veto of legislation banning most abortions after the 12th week of pregnancy, giving the state the most restrictive abortion law in the nation. The March 6 override comes just days after the Republican-controlled legislature overrode Beebe's veto of its Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which prohibits most abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy.
Beebe had justified his vetoes of both measures on constitutional grounds, saying that they conflicted with the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that effectively legalized abortion until a pre-born baby can viably survive outside the mother's womb, which most experts place at between 22 to 24 weeks. "Because it would impose a ban on a woman's right to choose an elective, nontherapeutic abortion well before viability, Senate Bill 134 blatantly contradicts the United States Constitution, as interpreted by the Supreme Court," Beebe said in a letter vetoing the 12-week bill. "When I was sworn in as governor I took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend both the Arkansas Constitution and the Constitution of the United States. I take that oath seriously."
Known as the "Heartbeat Protection Act," SB 134, which is slated to go into effect this summer, the bill will prohibit abortions at a point when a pre-born baby's heartbeat can typically be detected with an ultrasound. As with the "Pain-Capable" bill, which is based on the scientific proof that a pre-born baby can feel pain by the 20th week of pregnancy, the 12-week ban will include exemptions in cases of rape, incest, or to supposedly save the life of the mother.
Pro-abortion forces vowed to sue the state to overturn the 12-week ban. "The Arkansas Legislature has once again disregarded women's health care and passed the most extreme anti-women's health bill in the country," said Jill June, the CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. "With this bill, the Arkansas Legislature will force many women to seek unsafe care."

We luckily made it to and from England without any volcanic interference. In fact, we had amazing weather - in the mid 80's in London, and only a day and a half of rain throughout the rest of the week. Despite my fears, we adjusted to left-sided driving. While the roundabouts were shockingly easy (why don't we have them in the US? So much better than stoplights!), the tight, narrow roads, flanked by high hedgrows, took some getting used to. Some "roads" were essentially Victorian-era, one lane cart paths that were supposedly 2 lane roads. My cousin said that an oncoming car often has to reverse backwards down a lane to allow the other car to get through, which can lead to show-downs as to who is going to back out. And I thought my commute was bad!
Here are more pictures of Simplicity 2599, the top I made before left:
As you can see, it's not a particularly fitted top. In fact, it doesn't look particularly flattering in the first picture! But the blousiness makes it more casual than a fitted shell like McCalls 5661 (which I made last year).
I originally cut this in a size 10, C cup (this pattern has cup size variations, a lovely bonus) but it looked huge when held up to a RTW shell in my closet. I cut down to a size 8, but when sewn the top was a bit tight at the hips. To loosen the area, I ripped out the (French!) seams 3 inches up the sides, and made vents.
I lazily finished the top closure with a snap (hidden in the picture below) as I made an error in the placement of the button loop when stitching. It can be seen peeking out at the top of the seam!
This pattern is easy and basic, and should work in both casual and dressy fabrics; it's a definite-make again. Perhaps my next version will be the view with cascading ruffles.
Are you ever inexplicably attracted to an incredibly random pattern?
This arrived in my mailbox from Ebay today. It's a double-breasted, poufy-sleeved, tunic-length blouse. I am strangely drawn to its uber-low cut neckline. New patterns wouldn't have the guts! I can see myself it for fall in the cream silk (perhaps this crepe de chine from Gorgeous Fabrics). Camisole underneath optional: it is an 80's pattern after all.

Jays WBB Hosts Drake on Sunday, March 3

Last Time vs. Drake: W, 98-71 @ Drake (2-2-13)
The Bulldogs set the pace in the opening moments of the contest as Drake jumped out to a 7-1 lead by the 18:14 mark. Down 13-8 moments later, the Bluejays finally gained control of the game with a 14-2 run over the next four minutes to claim the lead, 22-15. Over the final 13 minutes of the opening period the Jays sank five more triples as Creighton took a 56-42 lead into the break. The 56-point outburst was the most points scored by the Jays in a half since putting up 59 points at Siena on March 22, 2003.

$ - MVC Tournament game
Scouting the Bulldogs (9-17, 4-11 MVC)
Drake is coming off a road win at Northern Iowa led by 23 points from sophomore Kyndal Clark. The Missouri native captured the MVC Player of the week honor with a combined 45 points versus Bradley and Northern Iowa last week.
The Bulldogs like to push the pace and did just that in the first meeting with Creighton. As a unit the Bulldogs have committed 470 turnovers in 26 contests (18.1 per game) and have forced 435 by their opponents (16.7 tpg).
The production of junior Morgan Reid and freshman Ashley Bartow on the glass play a significant roll for the Bulldogs. This duo averages 12.7 rebounds per game in MVC play this season.
Keys to the Game w/Drake:
Flanery against the Bulldogs
Coach Flanery has faced Drake 26 times as a head coach, holding a 13-13 mark against the Bulldogs. Flanery is 6-4 versus Drake in Omaha.
Tritz becomes 24th Member of 1K club
Junior Carli Tritz's second trifecta against Northern Iowa vaulted her over the 1,000 point threshold in just her 88th game as a Jay. Tritz became just the 24th Creighton player to reach the century mark. Tritz tied Kelsey Woodard (2007-11) as the 12th fastest to reach the feat in Creighton history as Woodard also did it in her 88th game.
Flanery Led Jays Reach 20-wins for Seventh Time
The Bluejays reached the 20-win plateau for the seventh time under head coach Jim Flanery and the 15th time in program history with the win at Bradley on Saturday, Feb. 23. It is the first time that Flanery had led a squad to 20 wins before March and the third fastest time in school history. The 1991-92 team reached 20 wins on Feb. 20, while the 1990-91 squad did it on Feb. 21.
Kamphaus Claims Paint
Junior Alyssa Kamphaus reached career-highs with 17 points, four blocks and eight field goals in the Jays' 83-65 win at Bradley. Kamphaus scored the first nine points of the game for Creighton on layups and a three-point play, then teamed with fellow junior Sarah Nelson to lead the Bluejays on an 11-3 run to open the second half.
Five Jays Reach Double-Figures for First Time since 2010
Creighton's 83-65 win over Bradley on Feb. 23 saw the five Jays reach double-figures in the same game for the first time since 2010. Led by 18 from Sarah Nelson, Creighton also got 17 points by Alyssa Kamphaus, 15 from Ally Jensen, 11 from Jordan Garrison and 10 by Marissa Janning. Two of the quintet were also part of the last time it happened on Dec. 20, 2010 (Kelsey Woodard 19, Sam Schuett 16, Ally Jensen 14, Sarah Nelson 12 & Kellie Nelson 12).
NCAA Rankings (As of 2/27)
Creighton currently ranks as the most prolific three-point shooting team in the NCAA, averaging 9.5 treys per contest. Creighton's 3-point percentage is also among the best, eighth in the country (37.6%).

Factory orders rise 2.1 percent in May
The Commerce Department said Tuesday that factory orders rose 2.1 percent in May. April's increase was revised higher to 1.3 percent from 1 percent.
Most of the increase in May was due to a big jump in volatile commercial aircraft demand. Still, businesses also ordered more machinery, computers and household appliances.
A category of orders that's viewed as a proxy for business investment plans -- which excludes the volatile areas of transportation and defense -- rose 1.5 percent. That was even stronger than solid gains in the previous two months.
This measure of business investment hadn't increased for three straight months since the fall of 2011. The consecutive gains suggest U.S. manufacturing could improve in the second half of the year.
Manufacturing has struggled this year after helping propel the economy in the first three years after the recession ended. U.S. factories have seen less demand for exports because of weaker global growth. And businesses reduced their investment in machinery and equipment in the first quarter.
The May report showed that orders for long-lasting goods, from power generation equipment to ships and boats, rose 3.7 percent in May. Orders for nondurable goods, including paper, chemicals and oil, rose 0.7 percent.
Demand for commercial aircraft surged nearly 51 percent, after an 18.4 percent gain in April and a drop of 43.3 percent in March.
Orders for autos and auto parts fell 2 percent, after jumping 4.1 percent in April. Still, the decline is likely temporary.
U.S. automakers on Tuesday reported healthy sales gains in June. Ford Motor Co.'s sales soared 13 percent in June compared with a year earlier. Chrysler's sales rose 8 percent. That suggests auto production will resume a healthy pace in the coming months.
The overall gain in factory orders follows another report that shows manufacturing activity picked up in June. The Institute for Supply Management's index of manufacturing activity rose to 50.9 from 49. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion.
The ISM index showed that new orders and production both jumped. But a gauge of employment fell sharply, suggesting factories cut jobs for the fourth straight month.
The U.S. economy expanded at only a 1.8 percent annual rate in the first three months of the year, the Commerce Department said last week. That was much slower than its previous estimate of a 2.4 percent rate.
The main reason for the downgrade was consumers spent less on services than initially thought. Spending on long-lasting factory goods, such as cars and appliances, was stronger.
Economists expect growth remained tepid in the April-June quarter. Most estimates range between a rate of 1.5 percent and 2 percent.

GoM to take up Telangana draft today
The Group of Ministers (GoM) on Telangana will on Tuesday take up the draft bill for bifurcating Andhra Pradesh and forming a separate state.
The proposed state of Telangana will include two more districts of Anantapur and Kurnool in Rayalaseema region, said reports on Monday.
According to media reports, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi have approved the decision to include them by redrawing the boundaries of proposed Telangana state.
This new region would be known as 'Rayala-Telangana', said an NDTV report.
The union cabinet meeting on Tuesday would approve of the same and send it for the nod of the President, said reports.
The new state was expected to have 10 districts, a population of 35.38 million and an area of 1.14 lakh square km and including Andhra Pradesh capital Hyderabad, which will serve as a common capital for 10 years.
The GoM earlier had submitted its draft on bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and creation of Telangana as the 29th state of India.
India's ruling Congress party in July this year approved a move to carve out the Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh as the 29th state of the country, giving in to a five-decade-long demand from supporters in a major decision ahead of 2014 elections.
Officially urging the government to take constitutional steps that will see the state's formation, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) passed a resolution following a meeting of the constituents of the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA).
The Telangana region, which merged with Andhra Pradesh in 1956 against the wishes of many local residents, comprises 10 districts - Adilabad, Hyderabad, Khammam, Karimnagar, Mahbubnagar, Medak, Nalgonda, Nizamabad, Rangareddy, and Warangal.

It has been a long journey for the boys basketball team at East Carbon High this year. The season kicked off on a rough and rocky road, but the year ended with success as the Vikings captured their second win of the season.
The small squad from East Carbon competed in its final two games of the year last week. The first of which was hosted on the Vikings homecourt last Wednesday evening.
The team from Meridian visited East Carbon and dominated the Vikings court. The Mongooses jumped out ahead of the Vikings early on in the game as they outscored East Carbon 15-5 in the first quarter.
Much of the game continued at this pace as Meridian entered the half ahead of the Vikings, 28-13.
The Vikings stepped up in the second half however as they launched a rally against the Meridian team. The Vikes were outscored by only three points in the third and the fourth quarter found the East Carbon team outscoring Meridian, 24-18.
The rally wasn't enough however. The damage was already done and the Mongoose team defeated the Vikings, 58-46.
During his final home game in a Viking uniform, senior Tony McFarland lead the East Carbon team in scoring with 23 points.
Austin Preston also had a successful final showing in front of a home town crowd as he scored 10 points.
"We knew this would be a difficult game for us. Meridian entered this game ranked third in the region and last time we met this team, we lost by 34 points. We played hard this time and our efforts paid off as we trailed by only 12 points at the conclusion of the game," explained East Carbon coach, Jeff Cisneros.
As the Vikings entered the home game, they knew that in order to be included in the state playoffs, they had to defeat Meridian plus turn around and beat the Wendover Wildcats the following Friday.
Because the Vikes lost to Meridian, their playoff hopes were lost. But one game remained and this game would be the final statement the Vikings would be able to make this year.
Going into last Friday's road game, the Vikings held on to a 1-16 overall record for the season. Although records are not everything, the team was determined to claim one more win before completing the season.
Emotions were high and the Vikings entered the game full of energy.
By the half, East Carbon trailed Wendover, 26-20. It was still any one's ball game as the second half kicked off.
The Wildcats had managed to defeat the Vikings once this year, but the East Carbon team was out for revenge.
The Vikings stepped up and played tough and defeated the Wildcats, 58-51. This would not only add a win to the Vikings final standings, but it would also be a perfect ending to an up and down season.
McFarland once again lead the team in scoring with 22 points. He was followed by Preston who scored 15 points, Shane Wood with six and Jarrod Kennedy and Andy Farlaino each with four points.
"This was a good win for the team. Not all teams can say that they finished the season on a winning streak," joked Cisneros.
The victory was a perfect ending to a not so perfect season. The win was especially significant considering the fact that the East Carbon underdogs out played the home team.
"We struggled throughout most of the year. Not because we weren't a good ball club, but because we lacked experience and players," explained Cisneros. Many of these kids had to play two games each night in order to make up both a junior varsity and a varsity team. The spirits of the team were high, but the physical strain was evident.
When reflecting on the season, Cisneros is quick to applaud the efforts of his team.
"I don't want people to judge our season on wins or losses. Rather, I would like them to judge us on where we were when the season started and where we ended. The conclusion of the season came with a positive note with our win over Wendover. The main thing that I want these kids to know is that they played hard and did their best. Therefore, improvements were made and this is what made this team successful, not the season records," explained the East Carbon coach.
Cisneros also explained that although the team was small in numbers, they did not give up. In fact, each ball game, the athletes from East Carbon played the full game strong, never giving up even if fatigue and frustration had set in.
"I think that we definitely have a good foundation to build on next year. The main thing is to get more kids involved in the sport and at a younger age. I want to do this by offering summer camps and teaching interested youth the skills and techniques of the game," Cisneros stated.
Despite several coaching changes taking place over the past several years at East Carbon, Cisneros vows to be back next year.
"Stability is the key factor that this ball club is missing. I plan to stay here for as long as I can and try to get more kids involved in the sport," concluded the Vikings coach.
