Reviewing Last Night
Top-seeded Creighton sealed its second MVC Tournament finals appearance in history with a 3-1 (25-21, 20-25, 25-19, 25-21) victory over fifth-seeded Illinois State. Leah McNary had 18 kills and Melanie Jereb added 15 putaways to lead the offense, while Katie Neisler topped the defense with a career-high 20 digs. Megan Bober was one kill away from tying a league record with her 16th career triple-double, finishing with 39 assists, 14 digs and nine kills. ISU was paced by 16 kills from Brooklyn Hlafka.
Series History vs. Wichita State
Creighton has
an opportunity to even the all-time series with the Shockers with a victory on
Saturday night. Wichita State presently
leads the series 21-20, but the Jays have taken four of the last five meetings,
including a 3-1 over the Shockers in the 2010 MVC Semifinals. Creighton and Wichita State have met two
previous times in the MVC Tournament with each team winning once. Kirsten
Bernthal Booth is 9-13 against Wichita State, including a 6-1 mark in
five-set matches.
MVC Tournament meetings with Wichita State:
Nov. 28, 2003: Wichita State 3, Creighton 1 (quarterfinals in Springfield, Mo.)
Nov. 26,
2010: Creighton 3, Wichita State 1 (semifinals in Cedar Falls, Iowa)
This Year vs. Wichita State
The Jays
defeated the Shockers 3-1 in Omaha, Neb. on Sept. 15 and rallied from an 0-2
deficit to slip past Wichita State 3-2 on Nov. 17 in Wichita, Kan. In the match on Nov. 17, Creighton not only
came back from 0-2, but also trailed 13-10 and 14-13 in the fifth set before
claiming it, 16-14. Sophomore Leah McNary leads Creighton with 32
kills in two matches against the Shockers.
Creighton has outhit WSU, .213 to .164 , in the two meetings.
Creighton and Wichita State in the MVC Final
This is the
second time in three seasons that the Jays have appeared in the MVC Tournament
final. Creighton fell to Northern Iowa,
3-1 (18-25, 19-25, 25-20, 20-25) in 2010.
The Shockers are 1-4 in their five previous MVC Finals. Wichita State fell in 1991, 2005, 2009 and
2011 and claimed the championship in 2004.
Take It To The Max
Six of Creighton's last nine wins vs. Wichita State have been five-set victories, including last Friday's 3-2 thriller in Wichita. Creighton is 4-1 in five-set matches this season, including a 4-0 record against Valley schools. Creighton has won six matches under Kirsten Bernthal Booth in which it has saved at least one match point, including last Friday. Three of those came against Wichita State, as CU also did it in 2003 and 2006 vs. the Shockers.
Double & Triple Up
Megan Bober tied a Creighton single-season record with her 21st double-double of the season on Friday vs. Illinois State, as she finished with 39 assists and 14 digs. Had Bober recorded a kill in the fourth set (she had none), Bober would have earned her seventh triple-double of the fall and 16th of her career. The 16 career triple-doubles would have tied her with UNI great Bre Payton for the all-time MVC record in that category.
Three-peat x 2?
earned its third win of the fall over Illinois State in yesterday's 3-1 win vs.
the Redbirds, the first time Creighton accomplished the feat since besting
Drake three times during the 2010 season. Creighton has never defeated two
teams three times in one season. The
Jays will attempt to accomplish that against Wichita State on Saturday night.
With A Win…
With a win on Saturday, Creighton Volleyball would have the following streaks continued…
would win its first MVC Tournament title in program history.
-Creighton would lock up its second NCAA Tournament bid in program history (also 2010).
-Creighton would improve to 28-3 on the season, extending its school-record for wins.
-Creighton would extend its school-record win streak to 16 in a row.
-Creighton would improve to 6-0 on neutral floors this season.
-Creighton would improve to 8-0 this November.
would improve to 8-13 all-time in the MVC Tournament, including a 1-1 mark in
the finals.
Against NCAA Teams?
Creighton is 9-1 this season against teams that made the 2011 NCAA Tournament, a category that Wichita State falls into. Creighton is 2-0 against Northern Iowa, Missouri State and Wichita State this fall, 1-0 against Ball State, Northern Colorado and Tulsa, and 0-1 versus Kansas.
Win The First One
Creighton is a perfect 22-0 this year when it wins the first set, improving to 158-17 under Kirsten Bernthal Booth in that scenario. On the other hand, CU is 27-101 when dropping the first set, including a 5-3 mark this year. Every MVC Tournament match (all 14) since 2010 has been won by the team to win the first set.
Title Town?
Creighton already is the reigning MVC Tournament champs for men's soccer, baseball, men's basketball and women's basketball. A win on Saturday would give it a fifth different sports trophy to add to the recent haul.
Unreal Success
Creighton Volleyball has won 15 in a row, while it's men's soccer team has won 11 in a row heading into Sunday's Sweet 16 match at top-ranked Akron. In addition, Creighton's men's basketball team is 5-0 after last night's 10-point win over Wisconsin, and Jim Flanery's women's basketball team is 2-1 heading into Sunday's match-up with nationally-ranked Kansas. Since Sept. 28th, those four Creighton teams are an absurd 33-1-1.
Get Them A Reality Show Already
Creighton is no stranger to television this fall, as Saturday marks its fourth appearance on the small screen. Creighton beat South Dakota and Illinois State (both 3-1) and lost in five sets at Kansas.
Fun With Seeds
Creighton improved to 1-0 all-time as the No. 1 seed with yesterday's 3-1 win vs. Illinois State.
The top seed at the MVC Volleyball Tournament has won nine straight matches and is 29-4 all-time, winning 13 of the first 17 tournaments. The last time a No. 1 seed lost in an MVC Tourney came in 2008, when Wichita State was upset in the semi's by Missouri State.
The No. 1 seed is 13-2 all-time in the title match, while the No. 3 seed is 0-7 all-time. In six previous head-to-head meetings, the No. 1 seed is 6-0 against the No. 3 seed.
The No. 1 seed hasn't faced the No. 2 seed in an MVC
Tournament final since 2005, a streak that continued this year when Wichita
State upset Northern Iowa in the semi's.
Dig This!
Katie Neisler became the fourth different Bluejay with 20 or more digs in a match this season, when she had a career-high 20 digs last night vs. Illinois State. Kate Elman owns 20 or more digs 15 times this year, while Melanie Jereb, Brooke Boggs and now Neisler have done it once each. Incredibly, this was the first time in 61 career matches that Neisler led the Jays in digs for an entire match.
Make it 30 Straight For Kate
Freshman Kate Elman has recorded double-figure digs in every match of her career thus far, 30 in all. Elman and SIU's Bailey Yeager are the only players in the MVC with 10 or more digs in every match this fall. Janeen Piller owns Creighton's school-record with 43 straight matches of 10 or more digs from Oct. 10, 2003 – Nov. 26, 2004.
On A Roll
The first freshman in Creighton history to earn first-team all-MVC accolades, Melanie Jereb is showing no signs of hitting the proverbial freshman wall. Jereb owns 10 or more kills in each of CU's last seven matches, and has just one match all season with more than three attack errors (4 vs. Tulsa). In two meetings with Wichita State this season, Jereb owns 24 kills, one error and 90 swings while also producing 20 digs.
My Favorite Floor
Leah McNary has played three matches on the Hammons Student Center floor in her career, and excelled each time. McNary had 10 kills against MSU last year before torching the Bears for a career-best 23 kills last Friday. Last night, McNary had 18 kills to lead all players in a win vs. Illinois State.
Bober Seats Another Record
Megan Bober is expected to tie yet another school record on Saturday vs. Wichita State when she plays in her 126th career match. Bober will tie the mark originally held by Jessica Houts (2005-09). Bober already owns the record for starts (125), consecutive starts (125) and sets played (470).
15 In A Row!
Creighton's 15-match win streak ranks tied for the seventh-longest active streak. The only schools with longer active streaks are Western Kentucky, Jackson State, LIU Brooklyn, Dayton, Hawaii and Texas, while Yale is also at 15 in a row. Prior to this current stretch, Creighton's longest win streak in program history had been eight wins in a row.
Starting Experience Returns
Creighton returns three women who played in the 2010 MVC Tournament final, a 3-1 loss at Northern Iowa. Megan Bober had 41 assists and eight digs, Heather Thorson had eight kills and four blocks, while Brooke Boggs had 14 digs.
Worth Watching Later Tonight
After volleyball concludes, Valley fans can turn their attention to ESPNU for a 10 pm Central men's basketball game in Las Vegas that pits Creighton's No. 12/14-ranked men's basketball team taking on Arizona State. Last night Creighton got 30 points from First Team All-American Doug McDermott to torch Wisconsin's vaunted defense in an 84-74 win. The Creighton men's basketball team is 5-0 this season, while Wichita State is 6-0 in men's hoops. Last year Creighton won the MVC Tournament title after Wichita State won the league's regular-season hoops title.

Mets option Lucas Duda to Triple-A Buffalo
The Mets announced they have optioned Lucas Duda back to Triple-A Buffalo.
Duda was hitting just .241 with a .335 OBP, 12 home runs and 44 RBI with 42 walks and 94 strikeouts in 307 at-bats over 89 games this season.
Since June 22, Duda hit .164 (13-for-79) with a double, home run and two RBI with 12 walks and 29 strikeouts, during a span of 22 games.
Duda hit just .225 against left-handed pitching this season.
Yesterday, the team announced they had optioned RHP Pedro Beato to Triple-A Buffalo, while adding both Manny Acosta and Matt Harvey to the big-league roster, both of whim will be active for tonight's game against the Nationals.
That said, I hope Duda uses this time to find himself at the plate. I love his patience, but he needs to become more aggressive and learn to hit a breaking ball. Hopefully, a stint in Buffalo helps him to live up to the potential as a consistent run producing power bat I believe he can be for the Mets.

|Official Title:
|Obtaining and Storing Standard of Care Wound Biopsies for Immediate or Future Wound Related Scientific Study
- To analyze and image wounds using microscopy and molecular techniques [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Wound edge biopsies that are obtained through standard of care protocols will be subjected to additional microscopic and molecular analyses following the completion of standard medical assessment.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|March 2007
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|March 2016
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|March 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
wound biopsy
diabetic foot,venous leg ulcer, decubitus ulcer
Detailed Description:
The criteria for considering a wound biopsy in a given patient are a chronic wound (venous leg ulcer, diabetic foot ulcer, decubitus ulcer) that has been present for over two (2) months and has failed to progress towards healing (less than 20% decrease in size over 2-week period of time). Also any suspicious wound in which cancer is strongly considered on a clinical basis should be biopsied immediately without any arbitrary timeline being imposed.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
Wound edge biopsies that are obtained through standard of care protocols will be subjected to additional microscopic and molecular analyses following the completion of standard medical assessment.
Inclusion Criteria:
The subject must have a wound, which requires a biopsy for at least one of the following reasons:
- The wound is clinically suspicious (raised fibrotic edges, patchy discoloration of the edges, "invasive appearance", or an appearance substantially different from normal chronic wound appearance).
- The wound has been present for over 3 months that has been under standard of care management for at least 1 month and shows no progression towards healing. No progression towards healing is defined as less than 20% reduction in the size of the wound over a 2-week period of time.
- The subject must be at least 18 years of age.
- The ulcer to be biopsied must be greater than 3 centimeters in area.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Unacceptable risk of bleeding as determined by the investigator.
Medical or emotional risk associated with the potential biopsy that outweighs the risk of not taking a biopsy as determined by the investigator.
- Note: Vulnerable populations will not be excluded from the study as they are over represented in the chronic wound population, but care will be taken to explain the study to family members and caretakers and other stakeholders in the subject's care, so that concerned parties are in agreement as to the subject's enrollment in the study.

Sometimes when a holiday crosses international borders its characteristics change. Just look how differently holidays like Christmas and Easter are celebrated, even in countries closely connected with each other by culture and economics.
But the celebration of Saint Patrick's Day in Ireland, where it all began, is not that different from how it is celebrated in the United States.
It's one of those holidays that everyone seems to want a part of, even if they do not have one drop of Irish descent in their past.
In Ireland, the holiday is more of a religious holiday than it is in the United States, in some ways similar to Christmas and Easter.
The towns still have grand parades and community feasts but they also have charity shows and mass is a central part of the day.
In fact, the parades, shamrocks, and green beer are there largely for out-of-towners and out-of-country folk who seem to flock to the emerald isles for that very day.
Apparently, there are so many celebrations going on between March 15 and 19 that it can become confusing not only for tourists but also for island folk as well.
A truly carnival atmosphere provides the backdrop in Dublin, the capital city, when Ireland's greatest annual party takes over. Dublin city comes alive with a host of exciting events, including street theatre, music, dance, comedy, film, exhibitions, symposiums, fun fairs and even a treasure hunt.
This year visitors will enjoy the spectacular St. Patrick's Day Festival parade - under the motto "Wishful Thinking." They will be able to join in the dancing at the largest outdoor C�il�, or choose from a selection of Irish music concerts.
Streets in Dublin are closed to traffic and the city centre becomes a playground as revelers enjoy the entertainment, most of which is free. The "craic" (an Irish word for fun) is guaranteed.
All around the island of Ireland, in the cities, towns and villages, festivities are taking place to mark Ireland's national holiday.
In Cork, the St. Patrick's Festival 2006 promises to be a fiesta of loud colors and flights of fancy, with marching bands from Ireland and America, samba bands, dancers, street theatre performers, pageants and hundreds of community carnival groups from all over the country.
St Patrick's Day also provides a focal point for celebrations in many other towns in Ireland. Some of these festivals include Armagh, Belfast, Downpatrick, Galway, and Kerry.
In the village of Downpatrick, Co. Down, where St. Patrick is buried, an award-winning visitor centre tells the full story of Saint Patrick.
Saint Patrick's Day in the United States has an early history. Irish immigrants, just like the English, Dutch, German, and French brought their traditions to this country. But it wasn't until 1737 that the day was officially celebrated here.
It was in Boston where the day was first celebrated in a public way. Gradually other states began to join the holiday parade and it was in New York where the biggest parade has almost always been held. That parade began in 1762 and it draws more than one million spectators each year.
Chicago has developed a unique tradition of coloring the river water of the Chicago River green. That tradition started in 1962 when 100 pounds of green vegetable dye was added to the river that splits downtown in half, enough to keep the waterway green for a week. That has changed over the years. Now revelers pour 40 pounds of a green food coloring in the river to keep it green for only a few hours.
Irish communities in various cities celebrate the day with social and community works. Making charities, attending mass, promoting their own culture and feasting with their foods.
Despite all these varieties, all are driven by a unique theme: an Irish day.
No other country actually has its own day that is celebrated like this one. There is no British day, French day or Chinese day, or days named after people that are revered internationally like this, except Christmas.
Saint Patrick's Day is known for fun, light heartedness and frivolity.
It is the day when everyone wants to be Irish.

Yo! Megan Fox and Vin Diesel! You think you're better than us?
Friday, July 31, 2009
OK, Ashton might have more followers on Twitter than we do, but we're not going quietly into the night. Let's take a friendly celebrity tussle to Facebook, shall we? where we've got the 12th most popular Product/Celebrity fan page (thankyouverymuch). With 3.1 million fans, we're hovering above Mr. Demi Moore, Rihanna and, er, potato chips (Pringles). That's not too bad, but our sights are on you, Will Smith, Megan Fox, Lady Gaga, Adam Sandler and Vin Diesel. You stand in our way of leaderboard glory so it's time for a good old fashioned Internet showdown.
You heard it here: we're going to pass these celebs in the next 60 days and if we don't, we'll eat humble pie and spotlight video(s) on our homepage for the nonprofit or non-commercial cause of their choosing. It's a stretch goal, to be sure, as we'd have to gain approximately the following numbers of fans to beat...

- Lady Gaga: 290K
- Will Smith: 965K

Why collect data on feature films? To gather information on the world's most lucrative cultural industry and one of the most popular cultural practices -- movie-watching. Demand for data has never been greater as digital technology transforms the ways in which films are produced, distributed and consumed by audiences in theatres and homes.
What is the role of the UIS?
Our goal is to provide internationally comparable and reliable data that reflect a selection of major cultural industries and practices. In particular, the UIS has developed a biennial survey on feature film statistics to monitor global trends in selected areas of this industry. This is the only international survey of its kind to include countries in all regions and at all stages of development. It uses comparable definitions to collect data on a range of issues, including: the top ten films viewed per country; linguistic diversity in film production; admissions; national versus international co-productions per country; and distribution mechanisms.
According to the most recent UIS survey results released in 2013, China has climbed from sixth place in terms of box office revenue in 2005 to third place behind the United States and Japan in 2011.
Overall, the survey yielded data from more than 100 countries including all key countries in the film industry. The survey provides a unique perspective on how different countries and regions are transforming traditional approaches to the art and industry of film-making, especially in video and digital formats. Key indicators below focus on habits of film consumption by looking at the origin of films viewed, as well as the most popular films, based on the frequency of attendance. Two indicators focus on indoor cinemas per capita and average ticket price per capita, providing a good perspective on cinema infrastructure and access.
Indicators / data now available:
The Data Centre also includes updated statistics from 2010 to 2011 on cinema infrastructure, film production and distribution, and exhibition. Historical data from 1995 to 1999 are available in separate tables for fewer indicators and data.

See Your Customer's Credit Score
Customer Advantages with Connect
- Work together on a more ideal payment schedule
- Your customer will know where their credit stands, by having the ability to review their credit report & score
- Your customer's birthdate, social social security & account numbers are omitted from the report
Are you a Contractor?
Before you start working on a project, it is important to be informed about your customer's financial situation. Currently, you may be at an increased risk level if you are not viewing your customer's credit information. Viewing your customer's credit report and score not only helps in mitigating late payments, but it can help you decide if working with the customer will be a good business move, before taking the job.
Experian Connect will let you view the credit report and score of your customers, at no charge, when purchased by your customers. After your customer grants you access to their report and score, you can be sure you are seeing their information directly from the credit bureau and not from a scanned copy or print out.
Credit Checking Directly Between Contractors and Customers
Once you create your account on Experian Connect and you have completed authentication, you can start inviting your potential customers as connections. After they complete authentication and accept your invitation, they will be able to:
- Purchase and view their credit information
- Grant you access to view their credit report and score within 30 days of purchase.
You will be able to quickly view your potential customer's credit report and score. This may eliminate manual paperwork and save you time – you may be able to make smart decisions faster.
Experian Credit Report and Score
What is a credit report?
A credit report is a snapshot of your customer's experience with credit-related accounts. Aside from some basic personal information, like their name and address to help identify their report, there are three main types of information on their credit report:
- Public Records: Court-related information, including bankruptcies, state and county court records, tax liens, monetary judgments and, in some states, overdue child support payments.
- Credit Inquiries: Names of businesses or individuals that have obtained a copy of your credit report, including lenders, landlords, and employers.
- Accounts: Payment history on all your Real Estate, Installment, and Revolving Credit Accounts.
What is a credit score?
A credit score is a number based on the information in your customer's credit report. It is similar to a grade you would have received in school, but instead of right and wrong answers, their credit score is based on positive and negative credit history. Paying bills on time and using credit responsibly builds a positive history while paying bills late and being irresponsible with credit builds a negative history.
There are many different ways to calculate a credit score. Experian Connect uses the VantageScore® calculation with the Experian credit report. VantageScore was developed by the three national credit reporting companies — Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. Unlike other scoring systems, it is the most consistent score using only one model with one set of scoring calculations, resulting in scores that are more uniform and consistent.
How is the score determined?
Developers of credit scoring models review a selection of consumers — often more than one million. The historical credit profiles of these consumers are examined to identify common variables. The developers then build statistical models by selecting the credit variables most predictive of future behavior and assigning appropriate weights to each variable.

SACKETS HARBOR The school districts Parent-Teacher Organization has tabled talks to place an electronic sign on Broad Street for now, anyway.
Despite opposition from several village residents, Sackets Harbor Central School sign committee chairwoman Jennifer L. Huttemann-Kall said the marquee may be discussed again next school year.
With the deserved attention being given to school budgets in general, including on budgets for external clubs/organizations that would be participating in the fundraising of this endeavor, and the critical focus for schools on Common Core learning/teaching standards, we as the Sign Committee felt it was best to put this project on hold for now, she said in an email. Further discussion likely wont be had until sometime in the next school year.
David W. Altieri, a member of the Sackets Harbor Historical Society, said he spoke to officials at the school of his distaste for a sign with flashing lights in the historical village known as a battle site in the War of 1812.
Mr. Altieri also is the villages heritage area director.
I think there are a lot of people who would have a problem with it, including me, he said.
The PTO sign committee was formed at the beginning of the year, but never held any discussion at the districts Board of Education meetings.
I thought it was important to express the concerns of the community before it got too far along, Mr. Altieri said.
He admits most of his knowledge about the sign is from secondhand and thirdhand sources, but said he is not the only one who has let the school know his opinion of the possible project.
As word began to get out, theres been more opposition Mr. Altieri said. I know at least some other people that have sent in letters about it.

LISBON - A greenhouse at the Clements Agricultural Research Institute at Iroquois Farm was blown over in high winds Nov. 16. Now the institute is looking for $50,000 to rebuild.
The greenhouse, located at 10951 Route 37, was going to be used this winter to supply The Kitchen, a restaurant at Iroquois Farm, with fresh greens throughout the season.
Clements Agricultural Research Institute President Mahlon T. Clements said they are hoping to get the greenhouse fixed and operational again as soon as possible to help the restaurant.
The Kitchen opened in the summer, run by Joshua P. Taillon, and features locally sourced menu options as a model of sustainability.
In order to raise the money needed to rebuild, Mr. Clements said, he is turning to the Internet.
A fundraising campaign was launched on Indiegogo, a website that enables people to donate to the cause and receive rewards depending on the level they give.
Launched on Nov. 27, the campaign has garnered several hundred dollars in donations. The campaign will run until Jan. 1.
Rewards being offered to donors include dinner for two at The Kitchen, a one night stay at the Tilden Stage Inn Bed and Breakfast – another business that benefits from the destroyed greenhouse – and lifetime membership in the Clements Agricultural Research Institute.
In addition to simply rebuilding the greenhouse the campaign, if successful, will also enable the institute to modernize the facility.
With $50,000 the institute hopes to finish engineering a geothermal system to help heat the greenhouse, in addition to others located nearby, and add a pellet stove.
Mr. Clements said time is of the essence in this campaign because the restaurant is relying on it for fresh produce.
The Clements Agricultural Research Institute is a nonprofit research institute focusing on increasing the publics awareness of agriculture and researching sustainable farming techniques.

'Golf is the cruelest of sports. Like life, it's inherently unfair. It's a harlot. A trollop. It leads you on. It never lives up to its promises…it's a boulevard of broken dreams. It plays with men. And runs off with the butcher.'
--Jim Murray
Okay. I admit it. Golf is my out of body, masochistic muse and amusement when I'm not working as Jimmy Olson, occasionally mild-mannered editor, reporter, publisher and cleaner of toilets for the Statesman-Examiner and occasional trimmer of floribunda in the yard that has no conscience.
Golf may be a four-letter word that, somewhat ironically, spells f-l-o-g backwards. That's my game these day's, a disjointed series of spastic flogs and twitches heading inexorably and far too rapidly toward a stationary ball that's ill-suited to the task.
Yes, as noted on-course television funny man and Golf Channel host David Feherty has intoned, "His swing looks like an octopus that just fell out of a tree."
Guilty as charged.
I don't play often enough any more to attack the game competently or competitively, but there's something about a game played outdoors, on green grass (okay, it's August and some of that green is brown) and mostly without the aid of text messaging, tweeting and email that appeals.
The game is both simple and complex. It's easily the most difficult sporting exercise I've ever attempted. No, it isn't even close. Yes, marriage is a distant second on the Degree of Difficulty meter.
It's a confounding game played mostly within the vast five-inch space between your ears. Yes, it could be described as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle. It's a game of minimizing the negative impacts of all your mistakes and realizing that if you can't afford to lose an occasional golf ball you shouldn't be playing in the first place.
(Editor's note: Bowling would have been a cheaper sport. After all, you don't have to buy clothes that clash and on the ma¬jority of occasions with bowling, you are going to finish with the same ball you started with.)
I'm a former proponent of winter rules in the dog days of summer and the one-time owner of the best wood in the game, my trusty pencil. I once owned a low single digit handicap that got me into a lot of club championship drop flights and an admonition from a former Colville golf professional who advised me after a lesson in futility, "Cowb, your swing looks like a five-car pile-up on 395… I can't even slow it down here with my slow motion camera…I strongly suggest you take two weeks off and then quit."
'If you want to take long walks, take long walks. If you want to hit things with sticks, hit things with sticks. But there is no excuse for combining the two and putting the results on television. Golf is not so much a sport as an insult to oversized lawns.
--National Lampoon
Golf is also an exercise that brings into play its practitioners' sense of fair play and ethical qualities. Okay, I am a little naïve at times.
Played at its purist levels, that is, by rank amateurs of the realm, the game offers no arbiters and no instant replay. There are no whistles, unless your partner in the Mixed Two-Ball Texas Hold-em' is wearing a tight little number that only Natalie Gulbis could wriggle into. There are no referees or umpires to oversee the game.
And therein lies the conundrum and the problem. There are lies…and lies…and lies.
Like life, not everyone plays the game of golf as it was in¬tended to be played. Unless you've worked the swollen banks of a rapidly rising river, filling and laying sandbags out of desperation or community service, this column may be for you, Mr. Sandbagger.
Take this mashie over the side of your noggin' and listen up.
You know the guy we're talking about here—the fellow who lies about his true playing ability and tends to make himself worse than he is. After all, there's a big tournament coming up and that usual Sunday afternoon money game.
Cash is on the line and that double-digit handicap is just fine, thank you very much.
We all know the culprit(s) here. These guys tend to register a bit low on the Moral Compass Meter. They understand the USGA's handicap system, its nuances and how it can work for them. Maybe they enter only high numbers into the computer, or maybe it's just a handful of numbers before the big tournament or game.
Okay, even I (hard to believe it) was unjustly accused (more than once) of being a Sandbagger at one time. But that was back when plaid was cool and so was persimmon.
(Editor's note: Since I haven't packed a handicap other than my golf game for at least 14 years and don't even take a scorecard with me on my appointed rounds, you're going to have to call me something else besides Sandbagger these days.)
Give me music on the course and a swing entirely bereft of tempo and timing…well, I'm all over it, Chivas Irons.
Time and perspective change. I don't like math on a good day. As far as I'm concerned, golf at this AARP juncture of life is about smelling the fertilizer and chasing those $5 a dozen Ti-Techs down the first cut of clay at Dominion Meadows.
Personally, I never play money games against guys with double-digit handicaps. Period. No exceptions, even when I had one of those USGA-approved GHIN and Tonic numbers. It's either play straight up…or play for the sheer enjoyment and pleasure of the best game that was ever created by Scottish folks.
If we're all playing by the same rules, count me in. Otherwise, son, you might want to think about changing your shoes. You're tracking sand all over the Poa Annua.
Playing against some hack that gets two strokes on a hole makes absolutely no sense to me.
Sam Snead had some advice for those who opt to play a friendly little game against somebody with a fraudulent handicap.
To wit: "You should never gamble with a stranger, and consider everyone a stranger until you've played with him at least a dozen times."
'Golf gives you an insight into human nature, your own as well as your opponent's.'
--Grantland Rice
My esteemed sister, the Senior Director, Handicapping and Course Rating for the Oregon Golf Association, weighs in on the subject of USGA/GHIN handicaps in a companion story in this edition.
After many years of work with the OGA, she has heard more than her share of laments from golfers who have chosen to not post his or her scores.
Here are a few heard from OGA staff members:
*I was playing with my husband/my kids/my grandkids
*I was on vacation.
*I didn't know the Course/Slope Rating.
*I'm just a beginner and was playing with a beginner.
*I was too embarrassed and I just wanted to go home.
*I wasn't playing my home course.
*I was in another state and they're not on GHIN.
*The clubhouse was closed.
*I didn't play all nine (or 18) holes.
*I was playing alone.
*My score was too low/too high.
*I finished in the dark.
*I forgot.
*I lost my scorecard.
*We were allowed mulligans in the tournament.
*The weather was really bad.
*There was a temporary green in play.
*I forgot my GHIN card and I don't know my number.
*I've got 20 scores posted—I thought I could stop there.
*I was playing in a Best-Ball.
*I played a different set of tees.
*I was using new clubs.
*I was just practicing…I practice a lot.
*I don't play in tournaments anyway.
*I was drinking beer while I was playing.
*I was just playing for fun.
*I was in a hurry.
*I haven't played in a long time.
*I was playing Winter Rules in July.
*The course was a Cow Pasture.
*My ball went in the water and a fish ate it.
*I don't want my handicap to go up/down.
*I didn't keep score…I don't have to post every score, do I?
*Our group doesn't start playing for another week/stopped playing last week.
*I don't understand handicapping. I just signed up and paid my money because we have great card games after we play.
*"So and so" doesn't post—why should I?

Push Service
The Push Service implements the Push Access Protocol (PAP). The PAP specifies how push applications can send messages to mobile devices. With the BlackBerry Internet Service, content developers can use a PAP interface to push content to BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry Internet Service infrastructure works as a Push Protocol Gateway (PPG). It provides a reliable and highly secure set of services that allows content providers to push data to their client applications on the BlackBerry device.
RIM also provides the Push Service SDK that helps to simplify push application development. It provides a programming model to help you create client and server side push applications in enterprise and consumer environments. The Push Service SDK exposes the push functionality at a higher level of abstraction so that you can concentrate on what you want to do and not on how to accomplish simple tasks (such as creating push messages). It also allows you to choose the appropriate push environment (enterprise or consumer) without changing the push initiator.
- Push messages to all specified subscribers, with a delivery within 30 days if possible.
- Query subscriptions, which provides a list of subscriptions the PPG knows about.
- Deliver push messages within 8 hours, if possible.
- Send cancellation messages.
- Send status queries.
- Request notifications of results.
Applications made for devices running BlackBerry 7 OS and earlier will be given a PIN to facilitate pushes, while applications for a BlackBerry 10 device will be given a token. The PIN or token serves as the address of the application that receives the push message.
Under normal conditions, each push request to the PPG returns a response that includes a status code indicating whether or not the request was accepted.

Undaunted Courage : Meriwether Lewis Thomas Jefferson and the Opening of the American West (96 Edition)by Stephen E. Ambrose
Staff Pick
At the heart of the immense and growing interest in Lewis and Clark in recent years stands this book. WWII historian Stephen Ambrose had long harbored a private obsession for the Expedition of the Corps of Discovery, and in Undaunted Courage he was able to capture this passion, successfully conveying it to countless readers across the country. Though Ambrose lends Lewis and Clark's story a sense of historical immediacy by quoting the original journals freely throughout, what makes this book so successful is Ambrose's readable, jargon-free writing style and his thriller-writer's talent for shaping a compelling story. Whatever the reason for its success, Undaunted Courage not only topped every national bestseller list, it also inspired a Ken Burns PBS documentary about Lewis and Clark, a second, beautifully produced Lewis and Clark book in conjunction with National Geographic (Lewis and Clark: Voyage of Discovery), as well as our current national fascination with the most famous and historically significant expedition in our history.
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
In this sweeping adventure story, Stephen E. Ambrose, the bestselling author of D-Day, presents the definitive account of one of the most momentous journeys in American history. Ambrose follows the Lewis and Clark Expedition from Thomas Jefferson's hope of finding a waterway to the Pacific, through the heart-stopping moments of the actual trip, to Lewis's lonely demise on the Natchez Trace. Along the way, Ambrose shows us the American West as Lewis saw it — wild, awesome, and pristinely beautiful. Undaunted Courage is a stunningly told action tale that will delight readers for generations.
"Ambrose, his wife and five children have followed the footsteps of the Lewis and Clark expedition for 20 summers, in the course of which the explorer has become a friend of the Ambrose family; the author's affection shines through this narrative." Publishers Weekly
"Specialists will appreciate this biography, but general readers will also be enthralled by Ambrose's well-written account." Library Journal
"Stephen Ambrose is that rare breed: a historian with true passion for his subject. Here he takes one of the great, but also one of the most superficially considered, stories in American history and breathes fresh life into it. Lewis comes alive as we've never known him." Ken Burns
"Ambrose's epic, a combination of rhapsody and reality, feels like a final glimpse at a pristine Eden before the crowd of trappers and settlers altered it forever." Booklist
"This lively survey of Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson and the opening of the American West is recommended both for leisure readers of American history and for students." Midwest Book Review
From the bestselling author of andlt;Iandgt;Band of Brothersandlt;/Iandgt; and andlt;Iandgt;D-Dayandlt;/Iandgt;, the definitive book on Lewis and Clarkand#8217;s exploration of the Louisiana Purchase, the most momentous expedition in American history and one of the great adventure stories of all time.andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;In 1803 President Thomas Jefferson selected his personal secretary, Captain Meriwether Lewis, to lead a voyage up the Missouri River to the Rockies, over the mountains, down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean, and back. Lewis and his partner, Captain William Clark, made the first map of the trans-Mississippi West, provided invaluable scientific data on the flora and fauna of the Louisiana Purchase territory, and established the American claim to Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;Ambrose has pieced together previously unknown information about weather, terrain, and medical knowledge at the time to provide a vivid backdrop for the expedition. Lewis is supported by a rich variety of colorful characters, first of all Jefferson himself, whose interest in exploring and acquiring the American West went back thirty years. Next comes Clark, a rugged frontiersman whose love for Lewis matched Jeffersonand#8217;s. There are numerous Indian chiefs, and Sacagawea, the Indian girl who accompanied the expedition, along with the French-Indian hunter Drouillard, the great naturalists of Philadelphia, the French and Spanish fur traders of St. Louis, John Quincy Adams, and many more leading political, scientific, and military figures of the turn of the century.andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;High adventure, high politics, suspense, drama, and diplomacy combine with high romance and personal tragedy to make this outstanding work of scholarship as readable as a novel.

Customer Reviews for Kids Room Beige / Neutral Blindsgalore Cordless
"Beautiful made easy"
By Satisfied1 from Centennial, CO
This was our second purchase from Blindsgalore and we are extremely happy with both purchases thus far. My wife thought she might need to hire a "professional" installer. I told her I thought I could do it and when I went to install my blinds I found out that I am just as good as a professional. Of course it helped that all the hard work was done and all I had to do was mount a couple of easy to install brackets. They are beautiful and I won't hesitate to order again and recommend Blindsgalore to anyone looking for great window coverings at a great price!!!View this product
"Great cordless blinds"
By decorating one step at a time! from Smyrna, GA
I am VERY pleased with the cordless blinds, and especially the blind for my skylight. I have purchased cordless blinds before, and the ones I purchased from Blindsgalore for 4 rooms were easier to install and look great.View this product

- The Cascade R is the most advanced lacrosse helmet that Cascade has ever created. For years, Cascade has set the bar when it comes to impact management and they have exceeded expectations once again with the Cascade R. If you thought the PRO7 was good, wait until you try the R which is the 2015 version of the bestselling PRO7.
Like the Pro7 the Cascade R reintroduces the ground-breaking SevenTechnology liner system that effectively transfers energy from direct high energy impacts. When a collision occurs, the SevenTechnology liner system compresses laterally displacing energy within seconds, and then resets to its original state for the next hit.
One new feature that the Cascade R offers is the PoronXRD comfort liner foam that works with the SevenTechnology to disperse impact pressure while also providing maximum comfort. The PoronXRD is a pliable yellow material that dissipates linear force from low energy impact.
A feature that stands out in the Cascade R is the NEW HardTail SPRfit which is an adjustable occipital pad system that can be resized on the fly to get a better 360 degree contoured fit. This will ultimately allow the player to tighten the helmet to his liking while also keeping it in an optimum position for protection.
The Cascade R is encapsulated by the SuperMono R Shell that is a one-piece shell and visor combo. This design creates a more rigid system against frontal impacts by dispersing collision energy evenly around the body of the shell. Cascade also moved the balance point closer to the middle of the helmet to establish a lighter and more symmetrical feel when the helmet is sitting on the players head.
The innovative technology instituted in the Cascade R is astounding, making it one of the most sought out lacrosse helmets on the Market. Get yours today. It is only taking Cascade 1-2 business to build and ship!
Basically, this is the hottest selling lacrosse helmet of 2014 and 2015 !! Combined with the rear adjustable fitting slider...the PoronXRD foam makes this the best fitting and feeling helmet on the market. To top it off, one of our Pro's is wearing these in the MLL right now.
