Sometimes, particularly when you're deep into a season, a product or trend can be in such abundance that it's hard to know where to start. Such can be the case with flat summer sandals, particularly when their status reaches the must-have level in the warm-weather months. With so many variations to choose from-gladiators and brights and studs, oh my!-shopping for sandals isn't as easy as wearing them for a walk in the park. But fear not (or rather, don't get de-feeted), dear readers, because we are more than happy to offer our footwear expertise in this Top Five.
As you may have noticed, today's splendid picks are all of the flat variation. And while we die for killer heels, we also think investing in planar pairs is just as life-affirming. Like a blazer or a top knot, these low-rise styles are a good way to incorporate some quick and easy polish into your look. They are also surprisingly practical! In a flat sandal you can ride your bike, walk to work, or enjoy some power-shopping while bridging the gap between low-energy and high style (as opposed to say, the flip flop!). On that note, dearest fancy footed-ladies, our summertime gift to you is that we've taken the legwork out of the footwork and have culled our top five flat sandals for your purchasing pleasure. After all, we want you to be able to spend your vacation time researching the less stressful things in life...like the best happy hour, best beach read, and best patch of sun to snag your tan.
1. Matiko Lace-Up Bootie ($148)
It's said that a good relationship is one that is built on a solid foundation, yet maintains a sense of spontaneity and fun. That description perfectly explains these Matiko sandals-no wonder we were instantly drawn to them! At first glance it seems like all the staple lace-ups on the market, but a closer look finds it throwing all kinds of wonderful curve balls. Take, for example, the thong element that (when worn at the toe!) tosses some sex appeal into the daytime flat by the way it displays your lovely tanned foot. Another stunning left-field surprise is the wedge: the slight heel offers the perfect pick-me-up to complement any hiked-up hemline, whether it's a full-skirt or a cut-off short. Finally, this bootie scores a full-on homerun with a snazzy, hidden zipper at the heel.
2. Steve Madden Wysh Sandal ($80)
If you were only allowed to have one pair of sandals this summer, the Wysh would be a perfect pick. The most traditional of the bunch, this brown leather version pulls out all the stops without drawing attention away from what really counts: the full effect of your summer ensemble. Neutral-toned leather looks quietly chic with nearly any daytime wear while the petite wedge gives you a step-up on the competition. And although we are always proponents of embellishments like zippers, fringes, and studs, sometimes an outfit just calls for the understated glamour of a good-looking, go-anywhere staple summer shoe. Lucky you-your style wysh was granted!
3. Mogil Coeur Shoe ($198)
Although we have an unwavering love for neutrals, sometimes you need to punctuate an outfit with a shoe in a punched-up hue. When your wardrobe calls for such action, try a shot of blue suede with Mogil's Coeur Shoes. The cobalt color will add pizazz to any summer ensemble, while the zipper-detail instantly toughens up the sandal's inherently classic sensibilities. We'd pair these with either a white tank and cutoffs (denim or khaki) or use them to add unexpected edginess to a girly, floral dress.
4. Dolce Vita Hampton Sandal ($143)
Marching to the same beat as our sexy summer shoes, this white leather flat offers a taste of the spicy and the sweet. The simplicity of its extra wide t-strap and stacked lacquered mini-heel is positively pleasing and reminds of us of the days when we would wear white ruffled ankle-socks with our shoes. However, the sultrier cutout style kicks any saccharine-sensibilities to the curb, imbuing these sandals with a healthy dose of sophistication. And let's not forget the oversized buckle, a key bit of hardware that will appeal to any fashion fan with discerning taste. All in all, this sandal's child-like flair reminds us of a skip down memory lane, but boasts a seasoned step in a more cosmopolitan direction.
5. LIFEwithBIRD Night Vision Sandal ($265, +61.39.410.4580)
This street-wise sandal is the most urban of the bunch and conjures up images of scorching summer pavements and sultry city-nights. The metal detail catches the light for a glint across the toe, and the ankle strap is perfectly practical for strolling the sidewalk all day long. We'd match this covetable pair with an elegant short, a sheer tank, and chain-mail accessories to channel the polished style of chic city-girls like Olivia Palermo and Byrdie Bell.-Liza Kaplan

These premium Martin ukulele strings come in standard gauge: 21-32-36-25. They produce a mellow ukulele tone...
Strings for your concert or standard uke.
A small instrument with big character, the ukulele is all too often underrated. This four-stringed member of the guitar family has a lighthearted, classic sound that adds a fun Hawaiian flavor to any music. A skilled player can wow any audience with the ukulele, as long as he or she has the instrument fitted with the right strings. Because of its compact size, the ukulele derives a large portion of its final sound from the strings. This makes it important to make sure your strings are properly tuned and in good condition. When it's time to re-string your ukulele, you'll find several different varieties to choose from. Modern ukulele strings are usually made of nylon polymers, with the exact composition varying from string to string. The thicker strings are often wrapped in a metal such as aluminum or copper, which can have a subtle effect on the tone. It may take some experimentation to discover which strings are right for you. Standard strings are excellent for most scenarios, but if you are a serious ukulele performer, you may want to consider trying out a set of titanium strings. These ukulele strings provide a louder sound than nylon strings, with greater clarity and projection that make them more easily heard in an auditorium and better-defined when picked up by a microphone. Ukulele strings are made to specific lengths and thicknesses for each of the four sizes of the instrument: soprano (standard), concert, tenor and baritone. In order for the strings to fit properly and have the correct sound, make sure that the strings that you pick match the size and tuning of your ukulele. If your instrument uses paired courses of strings, you will need enough replacements to swap out all six or eight. With a great pair of strings, you can give your ukulele a whole new sound. Whether you're onstage in a concert hall or busking at the local market, a ukulele with fresh strings is an unassuming instrument that can surprise your audience with its mellow, lively style.

LindaHairBlondeCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairMy Spray Of Choice For 10 Yrs!I discovered this hairspray about 10 years ago and have not been happy with any other since then. Left to its own my hair is an unruly flop-mop. I love this spray's truly firm hold, scent free light mist that doesn't wet my hair down. Downside: the bottle has gotten smaller and the price has gone higher - but then hasn't everything? I tried several other brands and none compare. I've always purchased mine at a local retailer, but they were out recently and I am fearing it is being discontinued. (???) I did a web search and found the best deal here at Folica. . . and the service was definitely 5-star. Another Abba hair product I use daily is "Pure Gentle Conditioner". It is a "leave-in" conditioner which I thought I would NEVER want due to thinking it would weigh my hair down. It makes my hair healthy and soft and much more manageable. The Pure Finish Spray keeps my hair right where I put it. I'm definitely hooked on both of these Abba products and hope I never have to do without either of them.1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

If you haven't heard already, Pantone, "the global authority on color," announced that this year's it color is Emerald Green.
We're fully expecting this powerful shade of green to translate to wedding and party candy buffets.
It's a bold color that pairs well with mint green (another it color for spring), lemony yellow, peach, midnight blue, and lavender.
Here are three different candy color palettes using Emerald Green as a main or accent color. As you can see, a little bit of emerald goes a long way for a pop of color …

Baseball, the romantics cite, is steeped in so much tradition that it's simple to draw a line in the sand and connect generations – whether we're referencing fathers and sons or ballplayers from different eras.
Sometimes, though, the art of bridging venerable types with youth whose chapters are waiting to be written requires assistance. In that regard, Mason Williams, the Pawtucket native and high-ceiling outfield prospect in the New York Yankees' farm system owes Joe Logan much thanks.
By tapping into his connections, Logan paved the way for Williams to rub elbows with 2012 Hall of Fame inductee Barry Larkin. While he's still relatively green in a professional sense, the 20-year-old Williams already has developed an insatiable appetite when it comes to heeding the message dispersed by accomplished types such as Larkin.
As Williams rationalized when reached over the weekend, any nugget of knowledge helps. He understands Larkin was once in his "trying-to-climb-the-ladder" shoes prior to going on a 19-year run with the Cincinnati Reds.
If Williams can pick the brain of arguably one of the finest shortstops the game has ever seen, it's seen as an opportunity that can work in his favor.
"Every time Barry was talking, I was standing there trying to hear everything," said Williams. "Not only can you learn by watching, but also listening. Asking questions is also key."
Here's the background regarding how Logan brought two individuals from the opposite end of the baseball spectrum together. From time to time during the past two offseasons in Florida, Larkin would stop by to check on Williams whenever the latter was maintaining his sharpness under the watchful eye of Logan.
His relationship with Mason dates back to when he coached him at age 16 on the Orlando Reds AAU team (the Williams family relocated to Winter Garden, Fla. after Mason completed seventh grade at St. Teresa's School).
A pitcher who enjoyed a three-year run in the Montreal Expos farm system, Logan came to befriend the Orlando resident Larkin. In Feb. 2011, the pair traveled to South Korea as part of U.S. efforts to spread the message of using sports as a diplomacy tool. On YouTube, you'll find a clip of Larkin and Logan hunting Florida's wildlife.
"They're pretty close," notes Williams about the kinship between Larkin and Logan.
Regarding what transpires between the white lines, Larkin advised Williams to stay patient in terms of understanding that the power numbers will grow in due time. Speaking on a topic that allowed him to get in touch with his instructor side, Larkin – these days supplying baseball analysis for ESPN – never fit the profile of a long-ball threat, though he did demonstrate enough offensive prowess to win the Silver Slugger award nine times.
Williams may not fall into the category as a slugging prospect, though this season has seen him emerge as someone who can go deep every now and again. Entering Sunday, Williams has 10 home runs in 87 games spanning two levels of pro ball. He started the season in Low A Charleston before getting promoted to High A Tampa earlier this month.
"Barry told me not to worry about hitting for power and that it will emerge in the years to come; just worry about getting stronger," said Williams, whose named graced Baseball America's Midseason Top 50 Prospects list, ranking 28th.
As far as curious minds go, Williams implored Larkin to share some of the secrets that allowed the latter to enjoy a career that included a World Series title, MVP award, 12 All-Star Game appearances and three Gold Gloves.
"What was the hardest time for you during the season? What was it like to win the World Series?" were some of the curiosities in which Williams wished Larkin to provide insight. "He told me to take everything day by day, saying that baseball is a process and you have to take it slow."
Sunday saw Larkin take his bows as the newest member of Cooperstown's hallowed halls. Some 1,300 miles away in Bradenton, Fla., Williams and his Tampa teammates faced a team consisting of Pirates farmhands. If this seems like a juxtaposition of polar opposites, it's exactly that. Larkin is now immortalized with the rest of the game's greats while Williams toils away in the low minors, no doubt hoping to achieve a career that rivals his mentor Larkin.
As Williams will attest, it's nice to have friends in high places.
"I saw Barry after he got elected. I gave him a huge congratulations, shook his hand and told him it was a well deserved honor," Williams said.
While Williams is mostly satisfied with how he's performed to date, he touched upon a realm that you normally don't hear minor league ballplayers expound upon. Winning has always been superseded by development and the private quest players undertake in seeking to transition from one level to the next, yet Williams expressed immense desire to help his current ballclub reach the playoffs and ultimately capture a title.
No doubt the fruits of success he tasted last season, when Williams was part of a Staten Island outfit that won the New York-Penn League crown, helps fuel his drive to finish the season on top. A year later he's on a Tampa squad that entering Sunday was part of a three-way tie for first place atop the North standings in the Florida State League.
"I definitely want to come out and win a championship. That motivates me every day," said an eager Williams.
Daniel Bard dropped a "When I get back to Boston" reference following his most recent appearance with the PawSox. Of course, the question of when such a course of action actually unfolds is one of morbid curiosity as no one associated with the Red Sox probably anticipated that Bard would still be seeking to put all the pieces together eight weeks after throwing his last big-league pitch.
Later in the same conversation, Bard touched upon his present minor-league status, understanding the cut-and-dried goal of placing himself in a position that if something happens at the top, he's the guy receiving consideration to get called up.
At a time when Chris Carpenter – the power-armed relief pitcher the Red Sox received from the Chicago Cubs as part the Theo Epstein compensation saga – is working his way back into form while toiling with the PawSox, Bard understands that it behooves him to start stringing together a bunch of outings like the scoreless ones he produced last Thursday and again on Sunday night while staying away from the performances that have contributed to the unsightly 7.85 Triple-A ERA he carried into last night's game against Louisville.
"When they're starting to see consistency, then they'll know I can pitch at that level," Bard said. "I've just got to prove that I'm still me [meaning the pitcher who thrived as an eighth-inning weapon the past few seasons]."

Designs for National Mall Sites Now Open for Public Comment
Finalists include Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Michael Maltzan Architecture, and Snøhetta, among others.
|Image courtesy Trust for the National Mall
Click to view the shortlist of proposals for Constitution Gardens.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
While the proposed Eisenhower Memorial by Frank Gehry has dominated headlines in recent weeks, another project in Washington, D.C., is quietly moving forward.
Designs by finalists in competitions aimed at re-imagining three portions of the Mall are now on display and open for public comment. The 12 schemes are available for viewing April 9-15 at the Smithsonian Castle, the National Museum of American History, and online at www.nationalmall.org/design-competition/ideas.
The concepts seek to restore and improve Constitution Gardens at the Mall's west end; the Washington Monument Grounds at Sylvan Theater, near the center; and Union Square at the east end, near the Capitol. Some aspects call for the construction and/or renovation of structures. Four finalists for each site were selected from 32 entries; the winning designs will be announced in May.
The Trust is trying to raise $350 million for the restoration effort, aiming to secure funding by 2014 with the goal of completing at least one of the projects by 2016.
The future of the Union Square project remains uncertain, however. Congress recently placed it under the control of the Architect of the Capitol and the Capitol Police due to its close proximity to the Capitol building, which presents heightened security concerns, according to the Associated Press. Efforts to pursue new designs for Union Square continue and will be submitted to the Architect of the Capitol for consideration, according to a Trust spokesperson.
Official submissions from each finalist are available for download. Comments can be submitted via the Trust for the National Mall website through Sunday.

Video: Latest Storm Team 2 Forecast
Video: Hot Temperatures Expected This Week
Video: Hot Temperatures Expected All Week
Buffalo, NY -- Temperatures will continue to be very warm with near record warmth this week. High temperatures are expected to be near to around 90 degrees F.
Governor Cuomo has issued a heat advisory for New York State.
PHOTO GALLERY: WNYers Keeping Cool During Hot Temps This Week (http://on.wgrz.com/1dAxE3f)
There could be a four day stretch of 90 degree days into this week.
This doesn't happen too often when looking back at the number of days Buffalo (airport) reaches at least 90 degrees. So far this year of 2013 there have now been two days in the 90s, which was on Sunday 91 and Monday 90.
In 2012 there were 8 days in the 90s which was a very warm season. In 2011 there were 2 days, in 2010 there was one day, and in 2009 and 2008 there were 0 days.
Monday's high temperature of 90 degrees F isn't as close to the daily record high of 97 set back in 1995, but Tuesday's high temperature of 91 degrees F, will be very close to the daily record high of 93 set back in 1988.
Wednesday's high temperature of 90 degrees F, will be close to the daily record high of 94 set back in 1957.
The City of Buffalo is offering some relief for their residents. The splach pads will be open an additional hour through Wednesday, July 17, 2013, closing at 8 p.m. All city pools are also open, with hours extended only at Centennial pool until 8 p.m. on Wednesday. There are also three air conditioned cooling centers are also open through Wednesday at the following locations: Richmond/Summer Senior Citizens Center, Schiller Park Senior Center and CRUCIAL. Details attached.
On Sunday's high temperature in Buffalo reached 91 degrees F, which is close to the daily record high of 92 set back in 2005.
Heat index values will be in the mid to upper 90s through Wednesday, so it will feel very hot and humid outside for several days and even at night with lows around 70.
Here are some tips offered by NYS officials to help keep cool this week:
•Slow down on strenuous activity and exercise, especially during the sun's peak hours - 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
•Exercise in the early morning between 4-7 a.m.
•Eat less protein and more fruits and vegetables - protein produces and increases metabolic heat, which can cause water loss. Eat small meals, but eat more often. Do not eat salty foods.
•Drink at least 2-4 glasses of water per hour during extreme heat, even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid beverages containing alcohol or caffeine.
•If possible, stay out of the sun and stay in air conditioning. The sun heats the inner core of your body, resulting in dehydration. If air-conditioning is not available, stay on the lowest floor, out of the sunshine, or go to a public building with air conditioning.
•If you must go outdoors, wear sunscreen with a high sun protector factor rating (at least SPF 15) and a hat to protect your face and head. When outdoors, wear loose-fitting, lightweight and light-colored clothing. Cover as much skin as possible to avoid sunburn and over-warming effects of sunlight on your body.
•Do not leave children, pets or those who require special care in a parked car or vehicle during periods of intense summer heat - temperatures inside a closed vehicle can reach over 140 degrees Fahrenheit quickly. Exposure to high temperatures can kill within a matter of minutes.
•Make an effort to check on your neighbors, especially if they are elderly, have young children or have special needs.
•Make sure there is enough water and food for pets and limit their exercise.
•Elderly persons and small children are mostly affected.
•Persons with weight or alcohol problems are very susceptible to heat reactions.
•Persons on certain medications or drugs.
•Heat Stroke: Also known as sunstroke - can be life threatening. Body temperature can rise and cause brain damage; death may result if not cooled quickly. Signals include hot, red, and dry skin; changes in consciousness; rapid, weak pulse, and shallow breathing. Relief for lowering body temperature can be with a cold bath or sponge.
•Heat Exhaustion: Less dangerous than heat stroke, heat exhaustion usually occurs when people exercise too heavily or work in warm, humid places where body fluids are lost. Signals include cool, moist, pale or flushed skin; heavy sweating; headache; nausea or vomiting; dizziness and exhaustion. If symptoms occur, get the victim out of sun, and apply cool, wet cloths.
•Sunburn: Sunburn slows the skin's ability to cool itself. Signals include redness and pain; in severe cases, swelling of skin, blisters, fever, and headaches can occur. Ointments can be a relief for pain in mild cases. A physician should see serious cases.
•Heat Cramps: Muscular pains and spasms caused by heavy exertion. Loss of water and salt from sweating causes cramping. Signals are abdominal and leg muscle pain. Relief can be firm pressure on cramping muscles, or gentle massages to relieve cramping.
•Power outages are more likely to occur during warm weather, when utility usage is at its peak. To avoid putting a strain on the power grid, conserve energy to help prevent power disruptions.
•Set your air conditioner thermostat no lower than 78 degrees. Only use the air conditioner when you are home.
•Turn non-essential appliances off - only use appliances that have heavy electrical loads early in the morning or very late at night.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
This weekend my son and I went to the San Rafael Swell and spent some time at The Wedge. Despite having lived here for a number of years he had never been there before and I wanted him to see it.
Along with us we took his horse and one of my house dogs. He rode the horse along the roads as we looked at the scenery. I, on the other hand, walked beside him with my dog attached to me with a leash.
While the horse didn't have a problem with the dog being there, my dog was not used to an animal so much bigger than herself walking by us.
At first she was very wary and each time the horse took a step she kind of jumped. She also kept looking over her shoulder at the horse. Once the horse sneezed, and I thought she was going to jump out of her skin.
But as the day went on, she started first to accept the horse was there, and then almost began to love the horse by smelling him and rubbing against the steeds legs.
By the end of the day I thought she was going to jump in the horse trailer with him and ride home. The discomfort and unfamiliarity about the horse had left her completely.
For my dog, the horse walking along side us was a major change. Whenever I had gone hiking before it was just her and I or maybe another person along with us. My dogs attitude about change was not that unusual for any animal; as far as we humans can tell, dogs have the intelligence of a human 3 year old, although I often think my dogs are much smarter than I am, particularly about certain things.
In our civilization, people continually face the same dilemma as my dog. They often get thrown into situations where change becomes an important factor in their actions. Some people adapt to the change, others do not.
The changes that people face come in many forms; everything from changing morays to changing technology. Some of us adapt faster to certain things than others. And there are some that never adapt at all.
For instance I know a number of highly educated people who will not touch a computer. I also recently had a reunion with an old work associate who doesn't believe in email. He also thinks cell phones are a waste.
Certainly all these people have the right to not only believe what they want, but to abstain from using any new technologies they wish too.
I remember I too once thought that cell phones were an expensive extravagance that were not something I would ever want much less need. Today, I could easily live without mine, but I can't say how many times it has saved not only time but money for me. And as a work tool it is invaluable.
Embracing new technology is sometimes very hard for people, particularly as they get older. And I include myself in that category as well. I feel I am up on technology and new developments in the world of gadgets pretty well, partly because I see so many things in my work. But my kids are always teasing me and asking me about when I am going to move from the 1960s to the beginning of the second millennium.
Personally I still think vinyl records are pretty neat, that network television is enough to fill up my entertainment time, that my 1968 Mustang is still a comfortable car to drive and that my 10 year old Macintosh computer is good enough to write stories on.
On the other hand I sure like the sound of CD's in my late l990s Mustang's sound system along with the cars other creature comforts, when I have time I like channel surfing as much as the next person and the new computers we continually get at work are generally a joy to work on and provide much more capability than my old one at home.
So I find myself living in two worlds, the old and the new.
Personally, I think people can embrace new things without forgetting about the old more standard things in their life without always looking over their shoulders to see what is sneaking up on them.
In short I think the world should be an inclusive place where we look to change with the same optimism that we look to the good memories of the past. And when those sneezes in life come along, we shouldn't tend to jump out of our skins over them either.

net.art as on-line activism
"Introduction: Over the last ten years, the Internet has embedded itself in the daily lives of a vast number of people. As a new telecommunication technology, it allows the common individual to engage in a cybernetic system that is globally networked. Today, however, a race goes on to establish the social dynamics of the Internet as a public arena. Will cyberspace become a highly monitored and regionalized control space or will the Internet retain its radical potential for independent endeavors and ideological exchange? The political implications of the Internet as a social network present rich issues for creative and critical cultural production.
The nature of the Internet as a network of connected computers to exchange information engenders a sense of liberty and freedom in the individual. Early in its development, mainframe teams established host-to-host protocols such as Telnet and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) that decentralized computer networking between independent users from the main frame.1 As the network grew it evolved into a new, democratic public sphere of communication via a globally expansive routing system and a vast array of on-line applications, amongst them electronic mail, and the world wide web.2 The individual was able to interface with an enlarged public, and a new dialogical space emerged.
Given the numerous forms of exchange possible via the Internet, on-line activity parallels Nancy Faser�s re-articulation of Jürgen Habermas�s public sphere as put forth in his 1962 book, The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere. Habermas presents the public sphere as a bourgeois arena for exchange where citizens may discuss common affairs, a model based in the old town hall. In the essay, Rethinking the Public Sphere (1993), Nancy Fraser updates and expands the Habermasian public sphere beyond institutionalized public forums to include the market ...
Revisiting Urban Space
Mexican artist Juan Gilberto Esparza Gonzalez's street interventions are really nice ways of exploring the city in creative ways through sculptures that integrate into the fabric of urban life. The above picture is a "Streetlamp Tree" of sorts where Esparza connected up 6 lamps to one pole on the streets of Mexico City. some other projects of his include painting street lines in curves to attempt to add some less rigid pathways for cars in urban space: pictured below:
:::::: new video-interviews in Artnodes :::::::
Artnodes publishes a new series of interviews with international experts in digital art and culture
20/10/2006.- Artnodes, the UOC's internet space on the interrelations between art, science and technology, is to publish six new interviews with international experts on digital art, which are to remain on the website permanently. This series of interviews reflects on some of the hottest issues in digital art and culture, including surveillance technology, the effects of software on our daily lives and virtual reality communities.
On this occasion, the experts interviewed are Erkki Huhtamo, Andreas Broeckmann (artistic director of Transmediale), Alex Galloway, Jonah Brucker-Cohen, David Rokeby, and Marc Downie.
These experts discuss issues such as the effects of software on our daily lives, the development of media archaeology, surveillance technology in artistic projects, physical toy interfaces linked to surveillance software, connected virtual reality communities and the creation of sound by virtual reality creatures.
The interviews and videos, made by Pau Alsina, Alba Colombo and Pau Waelder, will remain on Artnodes permanently. Artnodes usually publishes documents to inspire theoretical reflection on or historical study of this field of interdisciplinary creativity.

Interview with Ubermorgen
Ubermorgen is a group of artists in Vienna, Austria, founded in 1999 by Hans Bernhard (founder of etoy) and Lizvlx. Ubermorgen focuses on exploring contemporary legal issues, especially those of security, privacy and copyright. ���bermorgen is the German word for "the day after tomorrow" or "super-tomorrow".
Injunction Generator
What's your background? How did you get to become a artist? if the label "artist" suits a "maverick Austrian businessman" like you...
Hans: Artist is fine with me, it makes things less complicated. I studied visual media art at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna Austria with Professor Peter Weibel, Aesthetics in Wuppertal (Germany) with Bazon Brock, Art History at Art Center College of Design Pasadena (USA) with Peter Lunenfeld and Digital Culture with Lev Manovich at UCSD (USA). The becoming of an artist was rather simple, it was all about useability. Although in the beginning - with etoy - we did not really consider our work as art but rather as radical self-experiments, social and technological experiments - but after eliminating all other fields (such as sports, politics, etc...) there was nothing left but art. Today i consider this process to be freestyle research. Conceptual art is crossed with experimental research and massmedia stunts - but the products (sites, digital images, sculptures, emails, logfiles, paintings, drawings, etc.) are positioned in the art context. During project-phases we play different roles and use a series of aliases, sometimes we even swap aliases with other entities (for example the andreas bichlbauer/andy bichlbaum character of the Yesmen is such a shared character-set). With such identity changes, we position ourselves as doctors, businesspeople, retired military personell or teenagers.
lizvlx: Ohh, dwelling on my background. Well, yes, I pretty much always wanted to be an artist (besides wanting to be an archeologist or physicist ...

Bob Mathias, Olympic Champion
By: Legacy.com Staff
3 years ago
It was Mathias' second Olympics – he previously competed in the 1948 games in London, where he became the youngest athlete ever to win gold in track and field. He took that gold at age 17, unhindered by his woeful lack of knowledge about the decathlon (not aware of the rules, he nearly fouled out of the shot put portion). In Helsinki in 1952, Mathias was savvier, more ready to win – and he did, again, making him the first athlete ever to successfully defend a decathlon title. In fact, he destroyed the competition, winning by the impressive margin of 912 points.
1952 was a very good year for Bob Mathias. In addition to his Olympic gold, he led the Stanford University football team to a Rose Bowl appearance. But it was also his final year as a competitive athlete – he retired after the Olympics. It was not, however, the end of his time in the spotlight.
In the 1950s, Mathias pursued an acting career. It began when he and his wife played themselves in The Bob Mathias Story and culminated in a one-season starring role on the NBC series The Troubleshooters.
Next up for Mathias was a political career. He was elected to four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing California's San Joaquin Valley as a Republican. After his time in Congress ended, he became the first director of the United States Olympic Training Center, helping the athletes of tomorrow make their own attempts on records like his.
Bob Mathias died almost six years ago, and we can't help looking at his legacy as we focus on this year's London Olympics. It's record-breakers like him that inspire Olympians – and regular folks like us – to reach for those dreams.

|Old WHS Property Now Has Two Offers
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 02 October 2012 12:39
It's a tale of two offers, as the Old Watauga High site is suddenly a hot property for developers. Two offers are now on the table, as of the Watauga County Commission meeting this morning, one reported on last week, a $15 million offer from Campus Crest,
represented locally by Rick Miller, "Their initial plans are for 250 to 500 residential units there, and then other than that, it will be a mixed use for the rest of the property." And the new proposal, put together only yesterday, a $15.5 million dollar offer from Place Acquisitions, represented by Tony di Santi, "If it's just student housing, the town of Boone will not approve that project. I talked with Mr. Clark about that. He's aware of that. And that's the reason this will be what we will be calling a destination type of community where the residents will have access to restaurants, retail, entertainiment—all on one complete area." Commissioners placed the bar at $16.5 million, wanting to hear from these and possibly other developers at their October 16th meeting. So with two offers on the table, it remains to be seen whether the 'bar' the county has set at $16.5 million will be too rich for these or others, or whether the October 16th meeting will yield something completely different.

YIELD: Yields 6-8 servings
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup dried currants
- 2 tablespoons candied mixed fruit peel, chopped
- 1/2 cup white sugar, plus extra for decoration
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 (17.5-ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg, beaten
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Thoroughly grease a large baking sheet.
2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in currants, fruit peel, white sugar, brown sugar, allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until sugar is dissolved and fruit is coated. Remove from heat.
3. Roll out thawed pastry on a clean, lightly-floured surface until it is 1/4-inch thick. Cut out eight circles, each roughly 5 inches in diameter; set aside remaining pastry dough for use in other recipes. Divide currant mixture evenly between circles, then moisten edges of pastries with a little bit of milk, fold together, and pinch to seal.
4. Turn pastries upside down onto floured surface and carefully roll out to make a wider and flatter pastry. Be careful not to break the dough.
5. Brush cakes with beaten egg, then sprinkle with white sugar. Make three parallel cuts across the top of each cake, then place on greased baking sheet.
6. Bake pastries in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and sprinkle with a little more sugar, then serve.
Times Gone By English Eccles Cake is named for the town of Eccles in Lancashire, and was a popular pastry in the seventeenth century. However, these cakes were banned—along with mince pies—by the Puritans in 1650. In fact, Oliver Cromwell decreed in an act of Parliament that anyone found eating a currant pie would be imprisoned. Luckily, by the time of the Restoration, the cakes were once again popular.

The word oxidation originally implied reaction with oxygen to form an oxide, since (di)oxygen was historically the first recognized oxidizing agent. Later, the term was expanded to encompass oxygen-like substances that accomplished parallel chemical reactions. Ultimately, the meaning was generalized to include all processes involving loss of electrons.
The word reduction originally referred to the loss in weight upon heating a metallic ore such as a metal oxide to extract the metal. In other words, ore was "reduced" to metal. Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794) showed that this loss of weight was due to the loss of oxygen as a gas. Later, scientists realized that the metal atom gains electrons in this process.
The electrochemist John Bockris has used the words electronation and deelectronation to describe reduction and oxidation processes respectively when they occur at electrodes. These words are analogous to protonation and deprotonation, but they have not been widely adopted by chemists.
The term "hydrogenation" could be used instead of reduction, since hydrogen is the reducing agent in a large number of reactions, especially in organic chemistry and biochemistry. But unlike oxidation, which has been generalized beyond its root element, hydrogenation has maintained its specific connection to reactions that add hydrogen to another substance.
In redox processes, the reductant transfers electrons to the oxidant. Thus, in the reaction, the reductant or reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized, and the oxidant or oxidizing agent gains electrons and is reduced. The pair of an oxidizing and reducing agent that are involved in a particular reaction is called a redox pair. A redox couple is a reducing species and its corresponding oxidized form.
Substances that have the ability to oxidize other substances (cause them to lose electrons) are said to be oxidative or oxidizing and are known as oxidizing agents, oxidants, or oxidizers. That is, the oxidant (oxidizing agent) removes electrons from another substance, and is thus itself reduced. And, because it "accepts" electrons, the oxidizing agent is also called an electron acceptor, hence the name. Oxygen is the quintessential oxidizer.
Oxidants are usually chemical substances with elements in high oxidation states,
Substances that have the ability to reduce other substances (cause them to gain electrons) are said to be reductive or reducing and are known as reducing agents, reductants, or reducers. The reductant (reducing agent) transfers electrons to another substance, and is thus itself oxidized.
And, because it "donates" electrons, the reducing agent is also called an electron donor. Electron donors can also form charge transfer complexes with electron acceptors.
Reductants in chemistry are very diverse. Electropositive elemental metals, such as lithium, sodium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and aluminium, are good reducing agents.
These metals donate or give away electrons readily. Hydride transfer reagents, such as NaBH4 and LiAlH4, are widely used in organic chemistry, primarily in the reduction of carbonyl compounds to alcohols. Another method of reduction involves the use of hydrogen gas (H2) with a palladium, platinum, or nickel catalyst. These catalytic reductions are used primarily in the reduction of carbon-carbon double or triple bonds.(wikipedia.org)

Three U.S. Navy amphibious warships are returning to the eastern Mediterranean to remain on standby in the event they are needed to assist Americans leaving Israel in the coming days, according to two U.S. officials.
The officials stressed an evacuation remains an extremely remote possibility and the Obama administration is not currently planning for one. Americans who wish to leave the region now are able to do so using commercial airlines.
But the decision to send the ships even if the event is such a remote contingency underscores the growing concern about where the Israel-Gaza conflict could be headed.
"This is due diligence. It is better to be prepared should there be a need," one official said Monday. Both officials said the ships would be used only for assisting Americans and not for any combat role.
Why Israel might hesitate to start a ground invasion
The most immediate impact will be on the ships' crews and the estimated 2,500 Marines on board. They had been scheduled to return to Norfolk, Virginia, just after Thanksgiving; their homecoming will now be delayed several days depending on events, the officials said.
The ships involved are the USS Iwo Jima, the USS New York and the USS Gunston Hall. At the end of last week the ships were west of Gibraltar, before the decision was made to turn them around and send them back to the eastern Mediterranean, where they will remain for now.
The U.S. military also maintains three to four ships off the coast of Israel that are capable of shooting down ballistic missiles. That deployment has stretch for some months in the face of a potential ballistic threat from Iran.
HelloThat is a good post
totecheapbgs.com http://www.totecheapbags.com
The real enemies of America are Israel and the corrupt politicians who support that terrorist country.
Thank you Obama and Clinton for the Arab Spring. Now Obama is happy that the Jews are getting it. He warned them this would happen, how come he knew? He knew what he did in the Middle East would hurt Israel. He's getting his rocks off now and soon will have Rice as Secy of State, just to prove how power crazy he is. And Clinton loves the enemy the Muslim Brotherhood also. This is what we have running our country now, running America and Israel into the ground. Real sickies, these democrats. I say get rid of Hamas and why worry about anyone in Gaza? The citizens and Hamas want all Israelis to die. Why are the Israelis always making excuses for them that they are being careful - wipe them off the earth! Why should the Israelis have to suffer all the time from the Palestinians? Hamas doesn't want peace or a nice state for its people. They don't even build shelters for the protect them from the missiles. THEY DON'T WANT A STATE, THEY JUST WANT TO MURDER THE JEWS. When are people going to wise up. Isn't it obvious, are people that dumb?
Are people that dumb? Are you for real? Israel is occupying land owned by Palestine and they are not giving it back anytime soon. You have Ireland and England only this is in the Gaza Strip area. The Irish who do not have the wealth of Britain are doing terrorist acts to bring attention to their cause. I am not condoning terrorism but how does one fight against tyranny of a superior aggressor? How badly do you have to have it in the world where your children are blowing themselves up to bring awareness to their cause?
! I wonder because its Jews killing Muslims with modern military equipment is this so much less of a crime then when Momar Kadafi did it? Or for that matter what Bashar al-Assad is doing in Syria?
Your comment wipe them off the face of the Earth? Wow, you and Hitler would get along swell.
wow you are just evil
they say history repeats itself and now the zionist are nazis and the muslims are the jews in the holocaust
hey lizzy, 50 million people died in WWII 23 million were Russian......why do we never hear a peep about the other 44 million? i'm not an anti-Semite, but I am sick of hearing of how hard the JEWS have it. The Brits, in their endless wisdom replanted them initially in a STOLEN ship, smack dab in the middle of 350,000,000 arabs. The JEWS have 200 nuke sea and land based missiles, nuclear technology STOLEN from the united states. I don't wish them bad will, but it's time for us to let them fend for themselves. I hope Barack and Susan cut all military aid, and repeal America's promises to assist if they get their asses in a bind. They are not an ally. Allies give and receive.....they give us nothing but a headache.
Not a word of what you said is true.
Thus says The Lord God: I will defend My people, Israel, and take vengeance upon My enemies. For My own name's sake will I do it, and for My servant David's sake shall it be done... And thereafter shall My witnesses be sent into battle...
For behold, I have only just begun to speak! Says The Lord of Hosts. I have only just begun to reveal the power of The Lord! I have only just begun to reveal My anger! Yet if it were not for the sake of a remnant among those yet to be called, and for the sake of My name in Israel, that it may be glorified, I would have destroyed the enemies of Israel already, blotting them from the face of the whole earth. Thus I have withheld My hand, and have not yet taken vengeance upon My enemies. Yet I shall not withhold My hand for much longer, neither shall My wrath tarry.
For I shall surely stretch out My hand and strike the nations, and the slaughter shall be very great! Many ten thousands shall fall in one day!... A great destruction, even of all their devices! For The Lord God shall come out against them mightily!... Very dreadful in battle! With a terrible destruction shall I be glorified in My strength, and the slaughter shall be great!... A slaughter which has never been seen in Israel, slaughter of such a kind, causing ALL in the earth to tremble!
And those who hear of it, even their ears will tingle, with their hearts skipping a beat within their chests. Then they will know, I AM THE LORD, when I have magnified Myself in the land of Israel, when I have shaken the mountains of Israel, with My presence!... Yea, in the hearts of many shall My name be hallowed, on that day.
THE LORD GOD of Heaven and earth is speaking to THIS modern generation...
THE TIME HAS COME!... History has an end...

There is no God, Allah, Budda, santa Claus or Tooth Fairy.
Its is all BS!
The only heaven and hell mankind will ever see, is what we make for each other, on this Earth.
Let us just pray for those MEU-24 marines and sailors that have been sent back to assist in the removal of Americans from Israel . Those men and women had hopes to be home for a belated Thanksgiving and a merry Christmas.
Let's us hope, and pray, that they do come home, unharmed, as soon as possible.
This issue between Israel and its neighbors has gone on, far too long.
The last thing that this world needs is a major eruption in the mid-east.
It could become the holocaust that destroys the world.
These Ships have enough conventional firepower to level ALL of Gaza, so that Israeli's can Bulldoze ALL Animalstinians into the sea. USE THEM! We're tired of hearing about this uber-liberal rocket problem!!
OBAMA's NEW US NAVY WHITE FLEET WILL HELP JEWS LEAVE THEIR HOMELAND
Obama will order all US ships be painted white and fly white flags so Palistinian raiders in rubber boats will not sink US Ships. The new White US Navy will help Jews leave Israel in a new EXODUS. Jews will sail the Earth's oceans for 40 years looking for a new Homeland and will not find one.
You are late for your Klan meeting.
Israel needs no help, what they need is for everyone to stop holding Israel back ,and let them finish the job.
My father was apart of the USS Stark which was blown up during the Persian Gulf war.My father was one of the five people who survived the missile. My prayers are for the people on the ship, their protection, because we ended up going back to the gulf in the 90's it won't ever end. I just pray for their safety. I think its forgotten that people's lives are at stake...but they don't care I guess...http://youtu.be/V4jEsdWRsNA
I hated one thing though. When I was little he used to touch me in a certain place. I used to tell him to stop but one day I realized it was fun. So now I like being touched by men.
Given Ambassador Stevens past situation, exactly which Americans might be in need of safe departure or evacuation by US military personnel and hardware ?
We're sending ships in case of evacuation? What? I mean, that's prudent I suppose. But where are the ships in case of escalation against our Ally? How about parking a couple Nimitz Class Carriers off Israels coast and sending a note. Give us hollar if you need anything. CC Egypt.
That's it, muslims vs the world, let's get it on and over with, we'll woop the hell out of them and that punk mohamud
And Obama said ships were outdated....
Hope Israel doesn't bomb these "warships" like she did the Liberty. They attacked the Liberty all day even thought it was flying the American flag. The Liberty was an intelligence ship and Time Magazine reported at the time that it intercepted messages to the effect that Israel was executing Egyptian POW's.
WW3 is coming SOON.Tensions ARE STEADY RISING IN THE MIDDLE EAST, BAD
Except for your inclusion of the fraudulent climate change issue, I have to agree with everything else you said.
Jesus Christ
WE are waiting for the man with the answer to peace.
This collection of comments is getting way off the subject. This is not about differences in religion, or who did what to whom and when. The basic problem in the Middle East for the past 64 years + is the Arab/Islamic peoples intolerance for any state or country to exist there which is not of the Islamic faith. Israel was created by the United Nations after WWII based on principles agreed to by the League of Nations and treaties dating back into the 1920s. Modern Israel sits on land that nobody wanted for hundreds of years prior to 1947/48 much of it was swamp/desert and uninhabitable. The Jews lived there along with Arabs prior to the creation of the State of Israel, but Arabs attacked Jews in several areas during the British Mandate, and the UN decided to make it two lands: one for Jews and one for Arabs. The Jews agreed, the Arabs rejected the plan, then 5 Arab armies attacked the Jews and tried to drive them into the sea. They lost. Israel was born. Almost all the land either belonged to Jews or was purchased by them. This idea that "Jews stole this land" is a complete lie. Jews developed the land, and now others want it. A complete and comprehensive peace treaty could still be worked out today if the Arabs/Islamists gave up the idea of wiping out Israel. Intolerance is the BIG ISSUE. The words of Golda Meir still are true, "when the Arabs decide they love their children more than they hate us, peace will come" . I just wish they would give that a try instead of strapping bombs to them and sending them to die by killing Israelis and other Westerners.
The problem is the Balfour Declaration.
Your Bible claims the entire "holy" land is mostly Muslim presence? That's not what Almighty God's word says; you must be reading the captions under pictures written by opportunists. Jerusalem and the land of the Nation of Israel belong to the Jews as per the promises God made to Abraham, Moses an Joshua. Deuteronomy 7:1-2, "When your Almighty God at last brings you into the land to which you are going so as to take possession of it, He must also clear away populous nations from before you.......SEVEN nations more populous and mighty than you are. And your Almighty God will certainly abandon them to you and you must defeat them. You must conclude no covenant with them nor show them any favor." This is the promise of Almighty God that came to be true in 1948-49. Those nations were Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lybia, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Yemen. Check into the actual history, Tony, and then ask yourself who belongs in that land.
Hillary is our battleship
The world is all ways in flux an changing, at times for the good an times for the bad only time will determond the out come. An whos to say I'm right or you are right, picking a side is the choices we make.
Hate to say it, but, you dont go down the block and kick the kid that is meaner than you in the shin constantly, (Hamas, extremists) and not expect to get your butt kicked, lucky for the people on the palastinian side, the UN keeps the defender in check, because if they didnt there wouldnt be much left.
Get a clue; Israel is the occupier and land thief. If the Israelis don't want missiles shoved up their butts, they should not steal Palestinian land and should not murder Palestinians.
Not to help Israel, but to evacuate and run should Obama feel the need to do so.
I just have to wonder how many taxpayer dollars are going to be used to relocate even more Hamas terrorists to the US under the guise of them being refugees.
The real terrorists you should be worrying about are the Zionists and their supporters.
You could say the same about the Native American tragedy in our country. The problem is that it is history and there is not much anyone can do about that now. Leaders on both sides need to grow up and stop the killing of innocent people and the finger pointing.
I wonder if anyone realizes that building code in parts of Israel require the inclusion of bomb shelters. Schools, hospitals, houses, etc. Does anyone know why that is?
Once again i do not have a problem with religion, but why do we have to continue to hear that EVERYBODY's god has the answer? Come down and fix everything! NOW! what is the wait?
What interest is this of the U.S. military, and why are we getting involved at all? If U.S. citizens are over there of their own volition, then they need to get out the same way they got in. If these two nations want to destroy themselves, so be it but the U.S. should not be involved either way.
I suppose liberals think this is Bush's fault too?
It is
Thanks to Bush's leadership and example of how to get into another worthless war that America has no business in...
You're absolutely right. We absolutely should've allowed Saddam Hussein to continue funding terrorists and when some of them happened to blow up a truck bomb containing a couple barrels of that 55 TONS OF YELLOW CAKE URANIUM or 2 tons of enriched uranium that was removed from Iraq, thereby turning a major US city into a radioactively contaminated waste land , that would've been Bush's fault too I bet. CNN did a story on how the Iraqi Uranium was moved to northern Canada for safe keeping.
They probably will.....You already know..Bush gets blamed for EVERYTHING.......It doesn't stop....Denial is a horrible thing
Palestine should have been properly defended against the illegal European immigration back in the late 30's and 40's. Then there never would have been a Middle East Crisis. My bible from back then shows the entire Holy Land as "Palestine", with the population majority as Muslim, with Christians second and Jewish as poor third minority. Most of the IDF troops busy fighting never had any Israeli-born grandparents, or great grandparents.
You could say the same about the Native American tragedy in our country. The problem is that it is history and there is not much anyone can do about that now. Leaders on both sides need to grow up and stop the killing of innocent people and the finger pointing.
i dont know what bible you are reading but the land was given to the twelve tribes of israel and because they were disobedient to God they were driven out of the land in 70 ad and had not seen there land in over 2000 after world war 2 the land was given back to them. prophecy through the bible fortold thousand of years earlier that israel would return back to there land
I'm Christian, but I believe if God wants the Israelites to have that land, he'll step in to guarantee it. The Bible teaches that He made the walls of Jericho fall, he made countries and leaders fall away in the path of the Jews as they took over the "promised land." He made the stone of David fly straight to kill Goliath. He made manna fall from heaven to keep his people alive as promised. Let him step in and figure this out – we really should believe in Him and stay out of His way.
Um yea but no, Palestine was the only country in the world accepting Jews during the Holocaust, then Hitler teamed up with some like minded Arabs who started a propaganda war in Palestine and started a whole new confilct which still wages today. and your map was probably drawn after the crusades, which drastically changed the region. not to mention that most writings and maps from that time were destroyed by the Roman Cathlic church so they could push their own agenda and image onto their lemmings. and remember that three religions were born in this area at about the same time period so its all he said she said BS. any evidence of exactly what happened during this time period was either destroyed or is sitting in a Vatican Vault. s o while you say their grandparents are not Israli or Palestinian you need to look further much further try 6-10 maybe even 20 generations deeper.
Until after WWII Palestine wasn't a country as much as a British protectorate. Look up the Balfour resolution.

Nickelback At Slaine Castle
Posted on February 12, 2008SLAINE & A SINGALONG - So you know that Nickelback played at Slaine Castle with the Stereophonics yes? Christine was lucky enough to make the show...
"Hi, Just been having a read at the Nickelback page on your website. After reading the various comments from other people, I thought that I should share my thoughts. I was at Slaine 2002 and Nickelback were FANTASTIC. I cannot praise them enough. They were definitely by far the best band there. I also wanted to share something quite amusing with you all. I first heard of Nickelback when their single How You Remind Me was released. I actually went and bought Silver Side Up for that one song - something I never normally do and from that moment - I was hooked!! I have since bought Curb and The State as well. However, I was listening to my Silver Side Up album one day when my three year old daughter came in and started to sing along to the words - I thought this was so hilarious. Since then, every time she sees Chad Kroeger, she says "how you remind me man" A true Nickelback fan at three years old!!! She has since then started to sing along to most of the other songs on Silver Side Up - especially Too Bad. I really hope that Nickelback are coming back to the UK soon and I can't wait to see the DVD when its released in October. Keep up the Good Work!" Christine
Out of the mouths of babes.. and only 3 years old. Too cute. Definitely a contender for the youngest fan out there title. Thanks Christine.. sounds like she shares your great taste!

When Michigan and Syracuse hit the floor in Saturdays NCAA national semifinals in Atlanta, they will be the first No. 4 seeds to ever meet in a Final Four.
But upon closer examination, the Wolverines and Orange have a lot more in common that just their tournament seeding. Both teams got off to wildly successful starts to begin the season, each suffered through almost identical end-of-the-regular season slumps, and then turned it on again in the NCAA Tournament when most people were already counting them out.
It just goes to prove that its such a long season, said Michigan coach John Beilein. In this day of parity, its almost impossible to maintain a high level the entire season. Thats what made Kentuckys run last year even more incredible. They were great from start to finish, where most teams point to the postseason and stake their reputations on what they do in the NCAA Tournament.
Despite one of the youngest teams in his seven-year tenure at Michigan, Beileins team was picked second in the Big Ten preseason polls behind Indiana. The Wolverines were coming off a 24-10 season in 2011-12 in which they tied for the conference title and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
With super sophomore guard Trey Burke and junior guard/forward Tim Hardaway, Jr., leading the way, Beilein mixed in four talented freshmen and won his first 16 games to move to the top of the national polls.
Likewise, an Orange team that lost three its three top scorers, plus 7-foot center Fab Melo, was picked second in the Big East in preseason. It then ran off 19 wins in the first 20 games, with only a blip on the radar against Temple in Madison Square Garden just before Christmas. That run included a huge nonconference win at Arkansas and a victory at then-No. 1 Louisville.
SU rose to as high as No. 3 in the polls after that victory and a home win over Cincinnati.
The Wolverines stay at No. 1 was short-lived, however, as they suffered their first loss on Jan. 13 at Ohio State.
The Orange also dropped in the polls after an overtime loss at Villanova on Jan. 26, and a pounding at Pittsburgh two days later.
Still, winning 20 of its first 21 games was a great accomplishment for the Wolverines.
We certainly felt good about how we were playing at that time, said Burke, a first-team All-American and a top candidate for Player of the Year honors. But we also knew the bulk of our conference schedule was ahead of us, and that there were going to berough patches.
After reeling off four wins in a row against weaker Big Ten teams, Michigan dropped three of its next four, including road losses at Indiana, Wisconsin and in-state rival Michigan State.
Beileins team went 5-5 over the final few weeks of the regular season, falling to the No. 5 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. After beating Penn State in the first round in Chicago, Michigan lost to Wisconsin in the semifinals.
That loss to Wisconsin (68-59) was kind of a wake-up call for us, said Hardaway Jr., son of former NBA star Tim Hardaway. I think maybe we were too full of ourselves, and just figured we could turn it on at any moment. We found out that wasnt true, especially defensively.
SU also lost its way over the final month of its last Big East Conference campaign. A poor performance at Connecticut, followed by home losses to Georgetown and Louisville and a road defeat at Marquette dealt the Orange a severe blow to its confidence level. A regular-season-ending 61-39 blowout loss at Georgetown compounded the anxiety.
You cant say we didnt lose some confidence during that end stretch, SU senior guard Brandon Triche said. But we knew we werent that bad, and that all it took was a game or two to come out of our funk.
Coach Jim Boeheim insists that the best thing that could have happened to his club was going to the Big East Tournament without many expectations. We lost to the top five teams (in our league), so there wasnt a sense of doom and gloom.
The Orange, as usual, found an elixir in the Big Apple, putting together a scintillating run, which included payback wins over Pittsburgh and then Georgetown. Even a loss to Louisville in the finals couldnt stop SUs postseason momentum.
Michigan also put the Big Ten tournament disappointment behind it with impressive early NCAA wins over South Dakota State and VCU. Then came that incredible overtime win over top-seeded Kansas in the South Regional semifinals, and an impressive 20-point rout of Florida in the regional finals to earn the schools first Final Four berth since 1993.
SUs dominant four-game NCAA run, inspired by a suffocating 2-3 zone defense, also has the Orange feeling almost giddy about where it came from this season.
Its been a roller coaster ride, to be sure, senior forward James Southerland said. But now were in the home stretch, and we arent looking back.

Ulcers and the Bacteria That Causes Them
- Home
- Health Info
- Ulcers and the Bacteria That Causes...
Anatomy of an Ulcer
- The bacteria can live in the stomach because they attach to cells and produce an enzyme that stops the corrosive effects of stomach acid.
- The bacteria damages the protective mucous layers of both the stomach and the duodenum.
- Not everyone who has the bacteria will develop an ulcer.
- Being infected with the bacteria is also a risk factor for developing stomach cancer.
- Internal bleeding
- Perforation (a hole) in the stomach or duodenum allowing food and bacteria to spill into the abdomen and cause infection and irritation
- Blockage of the opening between the stomach and duodenum due to chronic inflammation that leads to swelling and scarring
Discovering the Causes of Ulcers
The Telltale Burn
- Nausea
- Vomiting—can be bloody or appear like coffee grounds if the ulcer is bleeding
- Loss of appetite
- Loss of weight
- Bloody or black stool caused by bleeding from the ulcer
- Weakness
- Endoscopy —an examination of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum using a small, flexible tube-like instrument containing a camera that is inserted through your throat
- Upper GI series —x-rays of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum are taken after you drink a chalky substance that outlines the shape of the digestive tract
Removing the Offending Agent
Steering Clear of Ulcers
- Wash hands thoroughly after using the bathroom and before eating
- Eat food that has been washed and cooked
- Drink water from a clean source

We are thrilled to be kicking off our official Backstage at San Francisco blog. This first blog post comes from Christopher Theofanidis—the composer of Heart of a Soldier, our world premiere commission based on the book of the same name by James B. Stewart. Heart of a Soldier will have its premiere on September 10, 2011—the eve of the tenth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. While the opera may be new to all of us, there are many who have been working on it for years now. Read on to gain insight into some of the musical challenges Christopher worked through early in his composing process.

Anyone seen these guys play in person? I've seen a few. I was really impressed by Dahl. He doesn't have the ceiling of Buxton, but seems to square up nicely on every pitch. Buxton has a long, whippy swing, and hasn't faced the best competition. Plus, the O's don't have the best track record of developing these "tools" type players.
I just don't see the hype about Merrero. Sure, he's a great fielder, but I don't think the bat is Major League quality.
As far as pitchers go, Zimmer's stock is really rising, but he hasn't faced elite competition. Wacha and Gausman have been solid all year. Giolito is still among the best prospects, even with his strained UCL. Some say Weikel's ceiling is as high as Giolito's. Fried's last few outings have been nothing special and his stock might be falling.
I'd still be tempted to take Zunino if the Mariners pass on him at 3. He's the safest bat in the whole draft. We could move him or Wieters from catcher, or trade one of them.
