We just let Harvard, Ha-vaard, beat us in hoops? Those Ivies run a defense and offense last seen in the 1950s. This is not sitting well:
Laurent Rivard scored 19 points, and Wesley Saunders added 18, leading Harvard to a 67-62 victory Saturday night over California.
Harvard (7-4) won its third straight game and beat Cal (8-4) for the first time after dropping the first two meetings in the series
Allen Crabbe, the Pac-12's leading scorer, scored a game-high 27 points for the Bears, while Justin Cobbs had 15 points and David Kravish 12. Richard Solomon had a career-high five blocked shots.
Golden Bears, you guys are playing more like Goldilocks. Get your act together, please.

Selena Gomez is following in her "Spring Breaker" costar Ashley Benson's cleavage-baring footsteps.
The 20-year-old actress looked gorgeous at the movie's Germany premiere, flaunting her decolletage in a sexy black and gold, low-cut Atelier Versace pinstriped suit.
Selena's sexy look comes just one day after Benson rocked an even more revealing look at the movie's Parisian premiere. Looks like they know skin sells!
Ashley kept it a little more conservative in Berlin though, covering up in a glittery silver and gold gown ... while Vanessa Hudgens showed off some serious leg in a flowery Naeem Khan dress.

I've been pondering the layering system developed by the relatively new Japanese outdoor clothing company "Finetrack. Finetrack originally was started by a group of outdoor enthusiasts who worked for MontBell, but wanted to develop clothing specifically suited for sawanobori (creek climbing), which tends to be very cold and wet and aims to be as light as possible because of the climbing gear needed and the swimming in frigid and dangerous mountain pools. They've since rethought how layering is done and come up with some very interesting and unconventional clothes to match their system.In the above example they first list the order and purpose of each layer in their system:1) Dry Layer2) Comfort Layer3) Thermal Layer4) Mid Shelland, if it is raining hard 5) Outer Hard Shell.It sounds very similar to the base, windbreaker, insulation, rain shell system advocated here in BPL, but the big difference are the first two layers. Finetrack makes a very fine, highly water-resistant mesh base layer that you wear directly on your skin on your torso, as underpants, and inner socks. This layer breathes very well and lets out all your perspiration, but moisture from the outside doesn't get in (you can run water over its surface and it will run off like water on a duck's back). It thereby stops any remaining water from outside that might have made it past the two outermost layers (thermal and mid shell. Over this layer goes the comfort layer, which consists of Finetrack's merino wool spun with spirals of hydrophobic polyester stands, making it quick drying. This is a fine layer that spreads any moisture from the inside or the outside over a broad surface where it evaporates and prevents your skin from feeling clammy. Finetrack has its proprietary "Spilfil" fabric, but I suspect traditional merino wool baselayers do just as well (though they don't dry as quickly).Then is the thermal layer, which consists of a thin, highly breathable, strongly wicking layer that acts like a light outer shirt. Its outer surface blocks any moisture (including perspiration) that made it out from inside, or any mist that might have gotten past the mid shell layer. It is a 3D fabric and has a brushed surface, giving it a slight, 100 weight fleece-like warmth.And finally the Mid Shell layer which is basically a water repellant windbreaker layer over which further insulation, like a fleece or fiber fill jacket can be worn, or a rain shell. Finetrack's proprietary mid shell is the Pneumo Wrap, which in person feels and looks like a stretchy, athletically cut Frogg-Togg-like jacket with a slick outer surface. It even has nearly the same lightness as Frogg-Toggs, but is stronger (it can take the abrasion of the pack). It's not as waterproof as Frogg-Toggs, though, and doesn't have taped seams. If you look at the bottom of the web page you can see comparison charts of the advantages and disadvantages of four different shell systems, Pneumo Wrap, Gore-tex, windbreaker, and softshell. The Pneumo Wrap's strong points are its wind-shedding and "inner humidity...ie. perspiration...controlling ability. It is not waterproof, but it is almost as light as a windbreaker, controls body humidity much better than a windbreaker, and doesn't wet out as easily as a windbreaker.The beauty of this system is that it is extremely light, yet protects against most rain and allows you to do strenuous exercise without getting inundated with sweat. The site provides a number of different configurations of the system, for different times of the year, 1) a Fall/ Winter, above freezing configuration; 2) a Deep Winter configuration; 3) a Creek Climbing configuration (the first example is for very frigid water, the second image is for warmer months);and 4) a Hot, Humid Summer configuration (it uses a special water-retaining fabric for the shirt so that it cools the body off).I was skeptical when I first saw this system, but have been using it for about three years now and it really works! The only problem is that clothing sizes were specifically designed for Japanese people so the pants especially don't fit at all. Which is too bad, because their Storm Gorge Alpine Pants are some of the best mountain walking pants I've tried.I wish they would market to non-Japanese and provide their site in English.Tomorrow I'm going to trying out their Skin-Mesh base layer with an Icebreaker 150 shirt on top, thermal layer Drought Sensor jacket, and LiteSpeed Windbreaker, and below, their Drought Sensor thermal layer tights with a pair of Montane Light Speed Wind Pants, Skin Mesh inner socks with Smartwool socks, a Montbell Thermawrap jacket (in the pack), and a Paramo Velez Adventure Lite Smock. I'll be walking at 1,500 meters so it will be cold, but not frigidly so. We'll see how the system works...

The mesh dry layer is intriguing and definitely worth looking into. If one wears both the dry layer and the comfort layer together anyway... then I wonder if the mesh dry layer can be fused into the underside of the comfort layer -- in other words, an improved base layer?As for the shell, it's usually either the wind/water repellant shell or the wp/b shell for me -- and not one on top of the other. Wonder if the mid-outer shells combo is there to further retain body heat with very little added weight?
Edited by ben2world on 02/03/2010 11:30:25 MST.
From what the website says, first they ask whether you are still using a fleece layer for insulation. Then they go on to explain how the fleece is bulky and hot and wet from perspiration when you walk. They then explain that by using the comfort layer, thin wicking thermal layer, and mid shell (by mid meaning that it can all be layered under a warmer jacket if needed) you no longer need the fleece layer and can travel at a wider range of temperatures, at substantially lower weight and bulk. I think the system closely mirrors what Mallory used on his last attempt of Chomolungma (I truly hate calling that mountain "Everest"! Just like I hate calling Denali "McKinley"), which consisted of many very thin layers with very little bulk.I'm not sure about fusing the mesh layer with the dry layer. I think one thing they intend is something versatile, so that the comfort layer can be removed. In all their examples the dry, mesh layer is always present, but the comfort layer changes according to the season and temperatures. In very hot, humid summer the Spilfil comfort layer has been replaced by a "Ramiespin" fabric for evaporative cooling.Yesterday at the store the clerk explained to me that for most weather, except heavy rain, the mesh dry layer, merino comfort layer, thermal layer, and mid shell are all that are needed, taking on a very wide range of temperatures. It seems the mesh layer is crucial for the system to work. Women have been using this for a long time with their nylon stockings (and American football players use nylon stockings when they play in the winter), but the concept here includes the whole body. Somehow the mesh layer helps keep the body warmer... when I bought a pair of the mesh sock liners the other day I was very surprised by how warm they were alone. If you look at the bottom of the layering concept page you will see two diagrams explaining the difference in heat retention between a fleece/ outer shell system and a mid-shell/ outer shell system. The mid-shell, since it also has a windbreaking surface, coupled with an outer shell serves to preserve the body heat at two points, keeping the body warmer. But the mid-shell is much lighter and thinner than the fleece layer.I think a MYOG version of the mesh layer might be made by washing nylon stockings and (if it's possible to find such things) shirt in waterproofing.So I guess wearing a windbreaker under your outer shell allows you to wear less overall. That's how it's worked for me... usually I only wear a merino wool base layer, a windbreaker, and if it's raining, an rain shell. That's kept me warm in a wide variety of temperatures. If I added the water-repelling mesh layer I could probably go into even colder temperatures without adding a lot of extra weight.For a long time I've been searching for a MYOG alternative to the Paramo waterproofing system that has separate layers (with the pump liner and shell separated) and wonder now if this might be it. Wash nylon mesh layer, comfort layer, thermal layer, and mid-shell layer in Nikwax DIrect and I wonder if you get a completely waterproof system? Have to give it a try.That's the theory anyway. I still have to try out the system in more variety of weathers!

Hi Miguel,Very interesting idea. I ran the web site through a translation program and now I am translating the translation.Thanks.
Are Ben and Bill the only ones interested in this? Really??? I thought it was truly fascinating!
Miguel - I am completely smitten by this and have been looking at the Japanese website this evening. I'm such a hot hiker, especially when gaining elevation, I'd be interested in knowing how it has worked for you in warmer temperatures. Even in the winter my merino base layer and windshirt or ID rain jacket with pit zips wide open are still too warm for me, especially around 33 degrees when the precip is trying to decide whether to be rain or snow. If it's as good as it says it is, I see lots of potential here.
NOOOOOOOO WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!Dude that was awesome!! Iwas combing through it 3 times to get it down right. The Japanese are sick with it in so many areas... Montbell's Exlight Down...WHAT!!! Snowpeak Ti...Its great to see a company put thatinto their concept/scheme.I really only wear fleece when cragging, traveling, or around the city. When I first started weighing gear and analyzing the #s I realized fleece is super heavy (for its warmth to weight ratio), durable, and cheap (price wise). Therefore I relagated it to certain areas/activities where I want the durability and not so concerned with weight. Even then I only mess with 100 weight fleece.Great article/ thread!-T_UNDER HORZ
Hi Miguel,How do the sizes run? Can the Japanese sizes convert to something like our S,M.L? I tried to buy cloths when I was in Japan but was to big for what they had in stock. I would need a US size L for short sleeve shirts, M for next to skin pants. Long sleeve shirts would take a "longer" sleeve then I expect this stuff would come in. Socks in US size 10 to 11.I would like to see the skin layer things if you can take some pictures.Thanks.
Hahah this is finally the time where it pays off not being a giant like all the rest of you mutants!Everybody on this forum besides myself is like 6'10" 300lbs built like a tank, and needs x-long sleeping bags. WTF?Seriously though, this is cool, and doesn't surprise me at all. Thanks for the info.
Hi Bill,Unfortunately Finetrack clothing is made for Japanese consumers and therefore most of it will not fit western users well at all. For men's the sizes are like TWO sizes too small! I had to try on a pair of XL pants that would fit lengthwise, but the material around the thighs is too wide and waist too big. I normally wear an American M size. Same for their shirts. In the States I wear size M, but with Finetrack I wear XL. Women's sizes are probably substantially smaller than American and European women, especially around the hips and bust.Notice the way the t-shirt over the Skinmesh spreads the water out... that's a desired effect for hot weather, from what the information explains.Here is the Finetrack YouTube video showing the Skinmesh fabric's water repellancy:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDm7DMXD9i0&feature=player_embeddedAnd here are some Japanese sites showing the Skinmesh in use:http://pics.livedoor.com/u/moose1109/5174045http://pub.ne.jp/dgmnwalkon/?entry_id=2157829http://obtweb.typepad.jp/obt/2006/09/finetrack-5d5b.htmlhttp://tcraft925.naturum.ne.jp/e696940.htmlhttp://bphiro.exblog.jp/10362499/
Edited by butuki on 02/04/2010 01:18:01 MST.
Looks REALLY interesting, if fact just about ideal for wet conditions but since it's evidently not available anywhere near this hemisphere it gets kinda WTF if you know what I mean. Hard to get any trial and error/experiential feed-back.I followed your link to the designers website but Japanese characters make Cyrillic look simple. ( At least with cyrillic the characters look like something you've seen before if only above the entrances of Frat/sorority houses! And Cyrillic ( for ex.)does progress horizontally from left to right. )Can you read Japanese Miguel? Can google translate a page like that? Anyway I'll try to imagine how it might work in practice but I hope you'll keep up the info on this. The skin contact layer looks especially interesting.There's got to be a better system than the Paramo "
Edited by obxcola on 02/04/2010 12:44:53 MST.
does anyone know an inexpesive source for a skinmesh live base layer in NA?We used to use something like that growing up and it was fantastic. Would like to try it again, sounds like the system could really work.Only issues would be swetting too much in the summer and the cotton shirt chaffing, but it sounds like the skinmesh solves that problem!
The bottom link posted by Miguel for bphiro's blog has a translation link towards the bottom right of the page. The translation is a little awkward but it looks like the bloggers there are asking about the same questions you would.http://bphiro.exblog.jp/10362499/Stuff looks sick
I checked out the t-shirt in the fine-track website with random assistance from google translator. The T costs @ $44.00 but I was stymied upon reaching the pages where the rubber meets the road in terms of payment and etc.
Yeah, the next step is to get a ballpark idea of what these layers cost, especially the skin mesh. Then how to order them if the prices aren't too breath-taking. My Japanese is about as good as my Greek.
Hi MiguelI was only allowed to bring a few catalogues back with me - but the Finetrack catalogue made the trip.Cheers
Miguel - have you tried the pneumowrap? Is it as great as the webpage says, in particular with controlling perspiration on the inside with decent water resistance on the outside? I think the price calculates to be about $269 US. Ouch. Is there something comparable already on the market in the US? I noticed the word Windstopper on the page. I have not had good luck with windshirts being water resistant enough to use them instead of a full-out rain jacket in the PNW climate where I am. And the rain jacket gets overloaded rather quickly from rain from the "inside." By the way, I'm really enjoying Google's translations of these pages. They remind me of the poetry we used to write in the 60's.

Hi Everyone,Sorry to take so long to reply. I was away.Before I answer questions, let me reiterate that most non-Asian people (and this includes Asians who grew up in the West and have bigger bodies) will find the sizing of Finetrack very frustrating, and most likely too small or oddly-proportioned. The legs are too short or the arms are too short or the torso too long or the waist too big. I had to sew an extra strip 1 and a half inch of nylon fabric to the hem of my large sized Storm Gorge Alpine Pants (medium is too small at the waist and the inseams far too short, though I wear medium in US sizes, and usually do well with large size in regular Japanese pants from regular Japanese clothing companies) just to make them long enough. The X-Large version was far to flappy in the rear of the thighs. And the Spilfil sized X-Large long-sleeved base layer shirt just doesn't fit right, no matter how I try to pull and pinch at it. Also three years ago I bought one of their Breezewrap jackets, in size X-Large and it has always been too short in both the arms and length (I use it now for running and it does very well in that capacity). If you still want to order one of these, don't say I didn't warn you!Bill, I'd be happy to go buy whatever you want and then reimbursed later (I don't use PayPal, due to their losing quite a large sum of my money about 6 years ago. 2CheckOut is what I used in the past). One problem that might come up is that many outdoor stores in Japan only have certain selections of gear, and often in limited offerings in sizes (don't ask me why... I've never seen such a frustrating retailing system anywhere else). So it might be that certain items that you want are not immediately available (though you can special order them).Kathleen, this stuff is VERY expensive, since it is a small company in Japan, where everything is expensive. MontBell can get away with their prices because they are so big. Plus, you also have to consider the exchange rate, which is simply awful right now for Americans. The PneumoWrap is made in two versions, one without, and the more expensive "EX" version with, Windstopper. It really does deal very well with moisture, and that, more than waterproofness, is its main focus. The material has a very smooth, spongy feel to it. I think it would be perfect for the PNW (I lived in Eugene, Oregon for 10 years, so I'm very familiar with the climate there), since it is mostly just endless drizzle rather than epic downpours like here in Japan. You would use it for most of the time you are out there, except downpours, when a very light, waterproof shell would stop the worst of it. I haven't bought the Pneumowrap because I can't afford it and right now am trying to cut down on my gear. Arc'teryx's Epsilon AR softshell jacket seems very similar, with a similar hand and spongy stretch to it.The main reason I posted information on this layering system was to get people talking about the layering system we already use and introducing a new way of thinking about it, then coming up with our own ways of implementing the new system. As Arapiles can attest to, Japanese sizes can often seem to cater to one tiny section of the population, with no thought at all given to any variations. As alternatives to the models that Finetrack offers I'd like to propose these alternatives to try to make the system work:A. Dry Layer: modified, very thin, sheer nylons, in both lower and upper body garments, all washed in wash-in waterproofingB. Comfort Layer: 150 weight Merino wool garmentsC. Thermal Layer: Highly wicking, lightweight, but slightly brushed surface, synthetic layer. I think a Power Dry garment, like Patagonia's R1 Hooded Fleece, would be a good substitute for Finetrack's Droughtsensor offerings.D. Mid-Shell Layer: Any thin soft shell with a good water-repellant outer shell, or a pertex-pile layer (like Rab's Vapour Rise series or Marmot's Driclime jackets), or Paramo Nikwax Analogy (which would eliminate the fully waterproof layer)... all perferably washed in wash-in waterproofing (though this supposedly ruins pertex pile).So far all this is just theory. I have yet to go out and try my non-Finetrack gear to see how it works.Kathleen, those translation really do seem like something dreamed up by people on acid, don't they?
Edited by butuki on 02/06/2010 02:41:03 MST.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Miguel.I have imagined a system like this in the past and am pleased to see that it is indeed a functional reality.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfulsby Steve Hockensmith
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Publisher Comments:
With more than one million copies in print, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was the surprise publishing phenomenon of 2009. A best seller on three continents, PPZ has been translated into 21 languages and optioned to become a major motion picture.
In this terrifying and hilarious prequel, we witness the genesis of the zombie plague in early-nineteenth-century England. We watch Elizabeth Bennet evolve from a naive young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. We laugh as she begins her first clumsy training with nunchucks and katana swords and cry when her first blush with romance goes tragically awry. Written by acclaimed novelist (and Edgar Award nominee) Steve Hockensmith, Dawn of the Dreadfuls invites Austen fans to step back into Regency England, Land of the Undead.
"In this prequel to Seth Grahame-Smith's Jane Austen revamp Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the town of Meryton has grown quiet and complacent while the long-lived zombie menace lays dormant. Taking place five years before Bingley moves into Netherfield, and sightings of 'unmentionables' have become routine, this story kicks off with a certain Mr. Ford sitting up in the middle of his own funeral. In response, the Bennet sisters begin intensive training in the deadly arts with their warrior father and a new Master. Their neighbors, much slower on the uptake, are variously dismembered, disillusioned, and eventually convinced to prepare for a terrifying final confrontation. With a sure grasp of Austen's characters and the social structures of the times, Hockensmith is loyal to the material's roots but, divorced from any particular text, he's able to take Grahame-Smith's silly, raunchy, violent tone much farther than in the first volume. Mixing taught horror-movie action with neo-Austen meditation on identity, society, and romance, this happy sacrilege is sure to please fans of Grahame-Smith's original mash-up. 15 b&w illustrations." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Elizabeth, from whose point of view significant elements of the story are told, is the most fully developed, and while she departs a little from the original, it's not so far as to make Austen fans cringe (given that they're OK with zombies, of course). This is a must-read for the growing legion of alternate-Austen fans..." Booklist
"Dawn of the Dreadfuls is nothing more or less than an adventure story that happens to be set in Regency England. That should stand as both recommendation and caution; while it often succeeds on its own terms, the burden of being a part of the Quirk line sometimes hobbles Dreadfuls. (Grade: B-)" The Onion A.V. Club
Witness the genesis of the zombie plague in early 19th-century England in this terrifying and hilarious prequel to the bestselling Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Watch as Elizabeth Bennet evolves from a naive young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead.
Journey Back to Regency England — Land of the Undead!
Readers will witness the birth of a heroine in Dawn of the Dreadfuls a thrilling prequel set four years before the horrific events of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. As our story opens, the Bennet sisters are enjoying a peaceful life in the English country side. They idle away the days reading, gardening, and daydreaming about future husbands until a funeral at the local parish goes strangely and horribly awry.
Suddenly corpses are springing from the soft earth and only one family can stop them. As the bodies pile up, we watch Elizabeth Bennet evolve from a naive young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. Along the way, two men vie for her affections: Master Hawksworth is a powerful warrior who trains her to kill, while thoughtful Dr. Keckilpenny seeks to conquer the walking dead using science instead of strength. Will either man win the prize of Elizabeth's heart? Or will their hearts be feasted upon by hordes of marauding zombies? Complete with romance, action, comedy, and an army of shambling corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls will have Jane Austen rolling in her grave — and just might inspire her to crawl out of it.

The Orioles acquired third baseman Brandon Wood from the Royals for cash considerations, tweets Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star. Wood will report to Triple-A Norfolk. The 28-year-old is hitting .264/.304/.396 in 56 Triple-A plate appearances. Wood, then with the Angels, was ranked as the third-best prospect in baseball after the '06 season by Baseball America, which said he profiled as a perennial All-Star. He's received 751 big league plate appearances with the Angels and Pirates, posting a .186/.225/.289 line.

BUCKSPORT, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Students are grieving the tragic death of one of their own. 15-year-old Taylor Darveau was killed Thursday night in a car accident on the Bucksmills Road in Bucksport.
The accident happened around 6:20pm on the Bucksmills Road in Bucksport. The 1999 Subaru station wagon was driven by 16-year-old Samantha Goode of Bucksport. According to police the vehicle was traveling north when it left the road and struck a tree. The crash is still under investigation with a cause not yet determined.
Friends of Darveau returned to the scene of the accident Friday morning to make a roadside memorial for the Bucksport Freshman. They hung balloons, laid flowers and left hand written messages at the base of the tree where Darveau was killed.
"I still don't believe it," said Bucksport Senior, Taylor Staples. "It's not going to catch up anytime soon that she's gone."
Grief Councilors will be made available at Bucksport High School on Saturday from 9am-Noon. The school's Friday night soccer and football games have been postponed until Saturday.

From Equestrian Warehouses across the USA
How we make you smile..
The familiar brown box arrives on your doorstep. You placed your order a few days ago and, almost effortlessly, here it is! A crazy mix of things for you and your horse. You open it and you smile. Perfect!
How do we do it? We do it by taking an entirely new approach to equestrian retail - featuring a zillion things equestrian for you to choose from, from Equestrian warehouses across the USA.
Twice a year, every year, your top equestrian brands meet at major trade shows - Ariat, Kerrits, Romfh, Rambo, Mountain Horse, Horze, Stetson, Weatherbeeta and more are represented. Equestrian Collections� teams are there, oohing and aahing over all the great new products about to arrive at their warehouses. But here is where we differ from all the other equestrian stores and tack shops. Instead of selecting a small number of products we think you should choose from, we offer it ALL! � So, you want Ariat riding boots? �Check us out, we have them all!
We take the reality of all those warehouses bursting with products - paddock boots, show shirts, riding breeches, horse blankets, saddles, bridles, bits - and transform them into one massive virtual warehouse - Equestrian Collections.
At dead of night, when even the most avid shopper is fast asleep, we synchronize our site with the contents of all those equestrian warehouses. Newly arrived products are switched on; out of stock items turn themselves off. Our digital shelves are stocked and ready for you for the day ahead.
These are tricky operations that require a million dollar system making sure that you can find exactly what you want, load it into your cart and check out. It is highly complicated, but thanks to our endlessly devoted technical crew, it does a brilliant job.
We are hard core data and technical experts at work, but at home, we�re equestrians - a team of long time riders and horse owners who bring the site to life. We understand your goals, your hopes and your aspirations for the new equestrian season, because we share them! We understand why choosing the right blanket and the right bit is important to you. We have horses at home, too!
So, you place your totally unique order. You press the button, and send your hopes that exactly that bit will make the difference, that the new blanket will keep your horse warm and dry, that the new show shirt will make you look wonderful in the show ring. Your order goes off into cyberspace - but it is people that make it happen. A team of people, gathering the things you ordered, packing up your box, and hurrying your order from those warehouses across the United States, back to us at Equestrian Collections. Where, in turn, it is checked and sent on to you. To arrive at your doorstep. For you to open. With it always comes our hope that it will make you smile.
Thank you for every order you give us!

SSA: Brooklyn Cyclones 7, @ State College Spikes (PIT) 4
CF Brandon Nimmo was 2-for-5 with a double (his sixth), a walk and a strikeout. It was his fourth-straight multi hit game. He's up to .351/.442/.486 in his last 10 games with four extra-base hits and six walks against 12 strikeouts. He's up to .250/.397/.396 in 27 games in Brooklyn.
Both LF Stefan Sabol (.292/.422/.416 – 25 games) and 1B Jayce Boyd (.275/.333/.451 – 13 games) picked up two hits each.
R: Kingsport Mets 1, @ Johnson City Cardinals 0 (7 innings)
@ Johnson City Cardinals 4, Kingsport Mets 1 (7 innings)
Hey, not one, but two whole games for the K-Mets.
Game one was clean: John Gant pitched well and DH Julio Concepcion homered for the only run.
Gant (pictured): 5.1 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K.
Gant's dad told me on Twitter the other day that he's been 90-92 with his fastball, with a changeup at 81 and a curve at 78 mph. That's actually consistent with his scouting report at Baseball America last year which had him at 87-91, touching 93 with an "athletic, projectable frame" and a "solid-average breaking ball." The Mets went overslot ($185K) to sign Gant, a 21st round pick away from LIU.
SS Gavin Cecchini was 3-for-5 with a double and a walk across the two games. The Mets 2012 first round pick is hitting a very solid .280/.345/.373 in his first 21 games in the Appalachian League as an 18-year old.

different countries and eating the variety of delicious international food that
was served throughout the event.
Hopefully the event was successful in educating our students about
different cultures and in planting some seeds of interest in our students to
further explore study abroad opportunities in the future.

With three coolers, a sink, bow and stern washdowns, and a host of other standards, this Stingray 220DR deckboat leaves little to be desired.
Capt. Steve Says...
To me, deckboats are a good combination of space and functionality. But the line that separates a deckboat from a bowrider is getting blurred more and more with each passing model. At this point, I'm not really sure what features separate a deckboat from a robust bowrider anymore, but when I see a "deckboat" I expect to see more room in the bow area, as well as a bow that is more squared off and definitely not pointy. Perhaps the deckboat is a bit beamier, and they are not known for their top high-end speed. They are more of a "platform" and less like a conventional "speedboat." If those are the only ingredients, then so be it. So let's step aboard and see what the Stingray 220 DR has to offer.
With the stereo in the head compartment, you can change the tunes while answering nature's call.
The space race...
Stingray claims that this boat will hold 11 adults, and for once, that's a claim that I can live with. Looking at the layout view, I'd say that Stingray is even being conservative. There's storage room for everything you'd want, up to and including the kitchen sink (make mine a BBQ grill). I like that there are pedestal mounting holes in both the bow and stern decks which means I can place a small table either place.
There are both bow and stern washdown bibs, which is something you don't often see on this size boat and this is a good idea for washing the sand off of feet no matter which end they use to get aboard. She has a roomy head compartment, and in the cockpit sole there is storage with a hatch that is actually large enough to allow to fit a wakeboard there.
Filler cushions in the stern make a great bunny pad for sun bathing. Women will love this feature.
While I usually complain that the stereo is not at the helm, I can at least deal with the compromise of it being at the port side seat. However on the Stingray 220DR… it's tucked into the head compartment! Yup, hard to believe, but that's where they put it. The folks down at Stingray sure do have a good sense of humor, either that or for some reason they spend a lot of time in the head.
Stingray also stopped the beam of the 220DR at only 8' 3". Why not go up to the standard 8' 6" and get that much more space in the cockpit? You can get past the table easier, you can walk past a person's knees, etc. The only advantage I can think of is that by cutting 3" off the beam the boat will be slightly lighter and will go slightly faster with equal power.
The layout is pretty conventional, but it easily accommodates the 11 passengers that Stingray rates the boat for. The swim platform is optional, which being a deck boat, the 220 DR should have.
The options list...
Stingray has a long list of standard features, so the options list is relatively short. The canvas packages are up to the whims of the individual buyer, and there's the snap in carpet, which some people like. The depth sounder (add $351) and the trim tabs (add $934) should make the "must have" list.
In my opinion, filler cushions tend to be more trouble than they're worth and just take up space when not in use, but if you need them they're available (add $269). I'd be sure to put the extended swim platform on the order form (add $1,088) and if you are going to be boating in salt water, the stainless steel package is another "must" (add $340). I love that side window vents are included as standard, as well as the freshwater sink and the remote oil change system.
Deck boats typically have swim ladders at both the bow and stern. There are also washdown bibs at both locations, which is not so typical. A cooler is on the step below this lady's knee. And what a way is that to use the American flag! I'll give this flag a salute anytime.
Specifications and engine options...
The base price of the Stingray 220DR is $39,269 and that's packaged with a Volvo 5.0 220 SX engine. You have several options, all of which are Volvo's, up to a 5.7 MPI HO 320-hp dual prop that will drive the price up to $48,053.
If you live "across the pond" then Volvo diesel options are available from a D3 130SX package for $46,880, up to the D3 190DP (dual prop) for $60,190. That may sound like a steep price to people living in the U.S., but they're not paying the high fuel prices that justify the diesel options either.
Bow filler cushions create another large sun pad forward. Be sure to bring along a book for the babes to read while they're tanning.
The Stingray 220DR has a LOA of 22' 3" (6.7 m), a beam of 8' 3" (251 cm), and a draft of 34" (86cm). Her dry weight is 3,987 lbs (1,808 kg) with the 5.0L MPI engine, and her fuel capacity is 62 gallons (235 L).
We haven't tested this model yet so we don't have numbers to present, and the Stingray website hasn't posted any figures for us to verify, but with the engine options available, you'll be hard pressed to find a combination you won't be happy with. She would definitely make my short list. Your Stingray dealer would be happy to take you for a test drive.
The optional swim platform extends beyond the stern drive lower unit which makes using the stern of the boat much safer.

Poll: Americans follow 'fiscal cliff' debate more closely than other stories
As the conflict between Israel and Gaza escalates and the investigations into the former CIA Director David Petraeus and attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi dominate the news cycle, a new poll shows Americans are following Washington's debate over the so-called fiscal cliff more closely than the other stories.
According to the poll conducted by the Pew Research Center, 36% of Republicans and 35% of Democrats say they are following the debate 'very closley' while only 28% of Republicans and 21% of Democrats are following the Petraeus investigation 'very closely.'
The 'fiscal cliff,' a series of automatic tax rate increases and federal spending cuts set to go into affect at the beginning of the new year if President Barack Obama and Congress fail to negotiate a deal on the nation's budget, has Washington lawmakers searching for common ground as congressional approval ratings have hit all-time lows and the weeks wind down to the end of the year deadline.
While Republicans and Democrats have similar interest levels on the 'fiscal cliff' debate versus the Petraeus investigation, the two sides differ on how closely they are following the on-going investigation into the September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya that resulted in the deaths of four Americans. Forty-two percent of Republicans say they are following the story compared to 21% of Democrats and 22% of independents.
In the fighting between Israel and Gaza, Palestinian health officials have said the conflict has resulted in 100 deaths in Gaza -- 24 of them on Monday -- and 860 wounded since Israel began its offensive in response to what Israel characterized as incessant rocket attacks by militants. Israeli officials say three people have died and 68 have been wounded in Israel as the result of rocket fire from Gaza. The poll indicates 34% of Republicans, 23% of Democrats and 28% of independents say they are following the conflict 'very closely.'
The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press poll was conducted from November 16-18 among 1,002 adults. The survey's sampling error is 3.7 percentage points.
CNN's Sara Sidner, Arwa Damon and Chelsea J. Carter contributed to this report.

Analysis of Genetic Factors Which May Influence the Course of HIV Infection
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Patients with HIV an have a variable course of their infection. We are trying to identify factors which worsen or ameliorate the course of the disease. Such factors may be related to metabolism (breakdown) of drugs or to iron handling by the body.
HIV Infection
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Genetic Influences on the Course and Response to Treatment of HIV: Contribution of Polymorphisms in Drug Metabolism and Disposition Genes and Haptoglobin Polymorphisms
DNA isolated from peripheral blood.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|February 2004
|Study Completion Date:
|April 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|April 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Patients with HIV can have a variable course and the disease may be influenced by polymorphisms in drug metabolism and disposition genes such as MDR1 and CYP3A4. In addition, reports have linked changes in the course of the disease with iron status, with high iron being detrimental. We will study polymorphisms in these genes and correlate with clinical course in HIV patients and also with phenotype of drug resistance and disease parameters (such as CD4 counts and opportunistic infections).

Helper City's job number one on its water system improvement list will be to upgrade the fencing around its various springs.
The city will be going to the Community Impact Board in September to seek funding support for needed reconstruction of its aging system.
"We're asking them for dollars. Why would they give up dollars if our source isn't protected?," asked Mayor Dean Armstrong.
The city's engineering consultants have already completed a survey of Helper's underground pipes and the city is nearing the point of asking for requests for proposals on various projects.

Harry C. Alford, co-founder and president/CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, created a national sensation during a February 25 interview (video available at link below) in which he accused President Barack Obama of acting like former Soviet dictator Josef Stalin and said the president's executive orders are "tyrannical" and a violation of the Constitution. Moreover, he added, Obama's economic policies are "borderline communist." The video went viral after being posted on a number of sites on March 1.
Alford expanded on those remarks in subsequent interviews, including an interview on March 4 with Andrea Tantaros of Fox News and pjmedia.com (see video below), in which he charged that President Obama "wants government in everything and anything."
"He made a fool out of me — and a lot of other people."
Alford said he now regrets supporting Obama's presidential bid in 2008. He allowed himself to be swept up with the candidate's rhetoric of hope, the media hype, and racial solidarity. "He made a fool out of me — and a lot of other people," says Alford.
In the impromptu February 25 video that went viral, Alford responded to a question about President Obama's increasing tendency to circumvent Congress and legislate by executive orders. "An executive order cannot trump the Constitution!" Alford responded emphatically. "Now, if he thinks he's Joe Stalin or somebody, let him try, but an executive order doesn't trump the Constitution! I mean, this guy's tyrannical, don't you think?"
When asked about Obama's performance and policies concerning the economy, Alford didn't hold back. He said:
He doesn't have a clue. He's never had a business. He's never had a real job. He doesn't understand how it all works…. He's bad, he's bad. And I supported him the first time around because I had hopes, because he's black. Shame on me!
The interviewer then asked him why he supported Obama in 2008 after he had already tipped his hand regarding his socialist leaning with his "redistributing the wealth" comments to Joe the Plumber. Alford replied:
I kind of ignored it. I said, well, maybe he's just talking. [But] he was serious, real serious. And it is truly — if you read the Communist Manifesto, that's that philosophy. He's not Adam Smith. He does not believe in capitalism the way our Founding Fathers did. He's very social — and it's getting borderline communist.

Countdown to Christmas: 35 DIY Advent Calendars to Make
It's not even Thanksgiving yet and my three-year-old is already asking me if Christmas is here yet. In fact, last night she woke up with a bad dream and as I stroked her hair and settled her back into bed I suggested that she dream about nice things instead.
