The rate of oxidation of 2'7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein by copper is slowed by AAOS. DCFH2 (200 μL of 90 μM in 20 mM carbonate buffer, pH 7.0) and 80 μL of mineral solution (100 μM in 20 mM carbonate, pH 7.0) were mixed in a standard UV-Vis cuvette; total volume 300 μL. The reaction was initiated by addition of 20 μL of 0.3% H2O2 yielding a final concentration of 88 mM. The formation of DCF was followed by its absorbance at 500 nm.

ORLEANS — Two residents are temporarily homeless after their home was heavily damaged by a fire Thursday night.
The fire at 67 River Road started at about 9 p.m. when the embers from an outside fire caught on a nearby exterior wall, said Orleans fire Capt. Geof Deering.
The wall and some rooms were damaged, but the building remains structurally sound, he said. The fire department was called at 9 p.m.
The home, located close to the water, dates back to 1820, and is valued at more than $1 million, according to the Orleans assessor's office.

Newly ranked Spartans head NCAA with .358 batting average
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (April 9, 2013) – From April 10-21, the ETSU softball team is slated for 12 games away from Johnson City. It begins the stretch with its biggest challenge of the season on Wednesday, as it travels to Cyrill Softball Stadium for two games against the newly ranked No. 24 USC Upstate Spartans. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m.
The USA Today/NFCA Division I rankings were released on Tuesday with USC Upstate (32-3, 13-1 A-Sun) at No. 24. The Spartans impressive season has them at No. 37 in the RPI to best all Atlantic Sun teams. A large part to Upstate's success is its .358 team batting average which leads the country. Its 1.84 team ERA ranks a measly 18th in comparison.
ETSU (10-24, 0-14 A-Sun) will be in search of its first conference win, having suffered multiple one-run and other close defeats along the way. In four of its five A-Sun series, ETSU has suffered a one-run loss at least once, totaling five for the conference season. Two more of the Bucs' setbacks have been by just two runs, while a 5-1 loss to UNF saw ETSU lead by one heading to the sixth.
It has just been that sort of season, but 12 conference games still remain for the Bucs and, with it, 12 chances to turn it around.
The Buccaneer Breakdown
Hitting a team-best .339 with other highs of 18 runs scored, 42 hits and 12 stolen bases, redshirt sophomore Nicole Fox (Peachtree City, Ga.) continues to head the ETSU offense. The sophomore slapper went on a 13-game hitting streak earlier in the season which ranks second-longest in ETSU history.
Three other Bucs in Jackie Baird (Ooltewah, Tenn.), Tara Hartnett (Snellville, Ga.) and Katie Wolff (LaGrange, Texas) also boast .300-or-better averages. Baird is hitting .314 to go along with 11 runs scored, four homers and a team-high 21 RBIs – 16 coming with two outs. Hartnett is at .302 with 11 runs and 10 RBIs, while Wolff sits at .301 with 10 runs and 13 driven in.
ETSU's other leaders in power statistics are sophomore Casey Horner (Whitesburg, Tenn.) and senior shortstop Sam Lower (Sebring, Fla.). Horner has 19 RBIs to rank second behind Baird and a .297 average with two long balls. Lower has driven in 14 runs and scored 11 while hitting .234.
Freshmen Sam Carpenter (Forest City, N.C.) and Bethany Cowart (Ringgold, Ga.) have each hit three homers.
The Buccaneers have seen its batting average dip to .272, tying for sixth in the A-Sun.
In the circle, Wolff (4-13) boasts a team-best 2.87 ERA. The junior right-hander has tossed 10 consecutive complete games to total 12 on the season. Wolff's strikeout total is up to 57 to lead all Bucs.
The ETSU staff holds a 3.96 ERA with 118 strikeouts to 120 walks allowed.
Scouting USC Upstate
Numbers don't lie, and according to the stats the Spartans present ETSU's toughest task of the season. Upstate has won its last 11 games, dropping just three of the 35 it has played so far this year. Its three losses have come to No. 3 Florida, No. 18 Kentucky and a 1-0 decision against North Florida.
Leading the nation's top offense is Maddison Kieffer with a .447 batting average, five home runs, 27 runs scored and 33 RBIs. Ericka Harris is Upstate's other above-.400 starter at .411 with 24 runs and 16 driven in. Mellena Helms is hitting .471 in 17 at-bats.
Seven other starters are hitting above .300, led in the power department by Shellie Robinson who has a team-high eight home runs, 39 runs scored and 36 RBIs. Robinson's batting average is .356, which ranks sixth among the starting lineup.
It doesn't get any easier in the circle. The one-two punch of Jamie Ujvari (14-0) and Hannah Alexander (14-2) boasts 1.45 and 1.79 ERAs, respectively, and each has over 100 strikeouts in less than 100 innings of work. Ujarvi has four shutouts to Alexander's five, with Alexander making 16 starts to Ujarvi's 12.
Series History
USC Upstate and ETSU have met 10 times in series history. The Spartans have won seven of those meetings, including the last six. ETSU's last win came in 2009, sweeping a doubleheader in Johnson City by scores of 3-1 and 1-0. Last year, Upstate won 4-0 and 8-3 in Spartanburg.
Free live video of Wednesday's doubleheader will be available online at ASun.TV. New for the 2012-13 season, all games streamed on ASun.TV are provided free of charge.

Ito in Tokyo
Toyo Ito's store for Italian shoemaker Tod's resembles the wrapping of a parcel in multiple ribbons; the dark glazed voids only hinting at the open floors behind. At night this figure-ground relationship reverses, with the lit floors of this seven-level building revealed, framed by the silhouette of concrete ribbons. The store joins other luxury shops in the area, including Herzog & de Meuron's Prada, to which it bears a family resemblance, though it avoids Prada's uniformity of cladding grid. Inside, the plain white surfaces and minimal goods displays make the cladding a strong part of the interior experience.

Sierra-at-Tahoe Ski Resort evacuated employees and guests Tuesday after a bomb threat was called in about 3 p.m.
The anonymous threat was specific to the lodge, and the area was evacuated immediately, marketing director Mindi Befu said. Lifts were shut down by 3:30 p.m.
El Dorado County Sheriff's Office and California Highway Patrol responded to the call, she said. They were still on scene at 4:30 p.m., blocking access into the ski resort.
"It was a phoned in bomb threat, no device has been found at this time," sheriff's Lt. Pete Van Arnum stated in an email about 5:15 p.m. "The resort has been evacuated for public safety. A search is currently being conducted in an attempt to locate a possible device."
As of press time, the EDSO bomb squad was investigating.

|Grace paid a man to marry her so she could get her dowry. Her old-fashioned father would never understand her call to medicine so she made up a husband who was also a doctor. The ploy has worked until now. Her father will no longer fund her causes unless she returns home with the good doctor. Dexter Abbott is a Pinkerton agent hired to find the wayward Grace. Injured in an attempted train robbery, he can't believe his luck. The doctor caring for him is none other than the object of his search. When Grace proposes an outrageous plan, he quickly accepts the challenge. Dex will pose as Grace's husband and go back to meet her father. But neither he nor Grace had counted on a raging attraction and the beginnings of something more.
What an engaging and enjoyable read! The characters are smart, witty and easy to like. I do love a good Western; and this is a certainly one. Grace isn't your typical damsel in distress, nor is Dex the stereotypical hero type. I liked them both and was drawn in by their banter and sparring. The sexual attraction is intense and there's so much passion in Grace and Dex's encounters. The plot flows nicely and both Dex's and Grace's fathers add depth to the story. Although Grace and Dex had started this journey with lies and subterfuge, there's a strong sense of honest emotion between them. The author allows us to be a part of the revelations each character makes as they learn about their motivations and the impact the past has on them. Grace and Dex must face themselves before they face each other. It's the beautifully written dialogue, whether internal or external, that is so revealing. I think I enjoyed the 'talk' more than the 'action'. It's just that good. This is a fun and sexy story. Too few stories are really 'fun' anymore. Sometimes, I simply want to be entertained. Grace's Folly did that and more. I will heading over to Ms. Lawless' website to find more of her titles right away. Highly recommended.

Listen very carefully Tony, i am only going to explain this once.
You obviously have enough brains to figure out how to turn on a computer, spell words, and form coherent sentences. That is enough.
You have an adequate level of intelligence to understand what is happening. Why you choose to ignore it is your own fault.
Yes nature changes of its own accord. Yes, there have been large climate shifts in the past.
Now think of this.
There used to be lots of fish, more than you could imagine. In some areas, you could pull out buckets of cod, they were so numerous. Now, in the past 60 years, large fish stocks like tuna have declined over 90%. Is it possible for humans to have such a large impact on something so numerous as fish and large as the ocean? Do i even have to bring up the BP spill?
Would you say that someone who said these are not human-caused problems is 'ignorant'?
There have been forest fires in the past. They have happened naturally. Does that mean its impossible for humans to start one?
The entire ecosystem we know is a film on this Earth, and the atmosphere is part of that. As carbon is cycled through the ecosystem, much of it dies as ocean organisms, sinking to the bottom of the ocean, compressed by layers of sediments, and eventually becomes oil.
That oil is taken out of the natural cycle, and the cycle works to keep a balance. Some things upset that balance, solar output, the variation of our orbit, eruptions, etc. But the system keeps working towards stability, ie: a comfortable environment for life.
Now we are taking that carbon back out of the Earth, where its been kept away from the cycle for millions of years, and putting back in the air. We are very demonstrably changing the atmospheric composition.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. That is not debatable. It keeps this planet from becoming a frozen rock. We are adding CO2 to levels not seen for millions of years, and you still want to pretend this is all coincidence? Do you doubt that CO2 levels are rising? Would you like me to provide you with some graphs that show it is? Or is this not news to you?
What other theory have you heard to make you think humans are not causing this recent warming? Whatever it is, it not only has to explain why the earth just-so-happens to be warming with the advent of industry, but also why all the extra co2 is not doing its job insulating.
You pretty much claim you don't have a clue why the Earth is warming, so why the hell do you argue for dangerous based on 'a hunch'? If you are wrong, the whole world is at stake, not just some silly fukkwit internet arguement.
[QUOTE]Im not going to say global warming and climate change is a hoax, i think it is really happening and i have no problem "going green" and being more sustainable because we should. [/QUOTE}
then why do you post such inane comments like
Now as far as climate change, i don't deny that it is happening, i just don't believe that climate change is caused by us (humans).
if you don't understand Global warming to being with, then you don't understand what an amazingly desperately HUGE problem it is. I'm not talking having to deal with bullshit legislation that you are whining about, i'm talking about our survival as a species.
As humans, we were almost wiped out many years ago during one of he ice ages. Miraculously, enough people survived to carry on the species.
Now we are going to do it again, because people are too focused on living comfortably for the moment to cut back and make sure we don't leave our children with a planet too hot.
But i feel that the government, especially the Lib's, are pushing their legislation down our throats in the name of being "green" to make more money and scare the people of this country into submission which they have already done.
if you are not scared, then you haven't read anything about what happens when a planet warms. That is MUCH more scary than any 'liberal policy' that is too ineffective anyways because it has to pander to Republicans and fukking azzholes who care more about protecting their investments and capitalism than anything else.
But what do you know? Your whole arguement is based on 'a hunch'. You say humans are too 'ignorant' to know what is happening, but how would you judge? You don't even know the basic science. What if you are the ignorant one?

Dirk Nowitzki: I have to be more aggressive early in games
Dirk Nowitzki struggled during the first three quarters Friday night, making only one of his first 11 shots. He bounced back in the fourth, though, looking like his old self, burying clutch jumpers and going 6-for-6 from the free throw line.
He added another field goal in overtime but it was not enough as the Oklahoma City Thunder held on for a 117-114 victory at American Airlines Center.
Nowitzki said in the locker room afterward that he needs to work on getting warmed up quicker. The 34-year-old says he was too stiff to start the game.
"I just got to keep on working, keep taking my shots in pregame, and on off-days get my running in," said Nowitzki, who finished with 18 points on 5-of-19 shooting from the floor. "I got to keep on working. I don't know what else to say. I had some great looks there in the first half. It's almost a tragedy that they don't go in."
It's been nearly a month since Nowitzki returned from arthroscopic right knee surgery. To him, that means he's roughly through the amount of time that training camp would have lasted.
"Basically, with me not having training camp, training camp is almost over," Nowitzki said. "Hopefully I can get in rhythm a little better. I feel like I got to be a little more aggressive early in games to get myself going, to get some shots there and just have a little more pep in my step in the first half so I don't always start 1-for-5, 1-for-6 and then keep chasing some shots."
Nowitzki admitted that when he first came back from surgery he was waiving teammates off late in games because he felt like he was just a spot-up shooter. The 11-time All-Star says he doesn't feel that way any more.
"Now I'm getting to the point where I definitely want to feel the ball," he said. "At least make the defense collapse and kick it out or make a move. I think compared to where I was two or three weeks ago it's way, way better. It's miles-and-miles better, but I still feel like I got some ways to go."

Detroit Southeastern Darryl Bigham reaches back to defend the shot of U-D Jesuit's Nick Mutebi in the first half. Mutebi ended up making the game-winning lay-up. / Julian H. Gonzalez/Detroit Free Press
Darryl Bigham converted a three-point play to tie the game for Detroit Southeastern with 1 minute, 34 seconds left, and after Southeastern failed to rebound a missed U-D Jesuit shot, the Cubs had another opportunity with 28 seconds remaining with the ball in sophomore sensation Cassius Winstons hands.
They were trapping Cassius, U-D senior Nick Mutebi said. I was trying to get Julian (Morgan) open off a down screen, but it didnt work. But then he found Julian in the corner.
For an instant, Morgan thought he was going to attempt the game-winning shot.
I wanted to shoot it, but the pass from Cassius wasnt the best, Morgan said. It wasnt there for me. I saw Nick open; he had it.
As he passed to Mutebi, Morgan knew Mutebi was going to use his patented drop-step move to get open.
Thats him right there, Morgan said of his fellow senior. Weve been practicing together since freshman year. I know everything about him. I have faith in him.
■ Related: More scores from Monday
Mutebi, 6-feet-3, caught the ball in the low post with 6-5 Leonard Harper-Baker behind him and 6-6 Bigham on top. The situation was made for a drop-step move.
They tried to trap down on me, but weve been working in practice on drop steps, up-and-unders, because theyre very good at blocking shots, Mutebi said. I was just thinking about scoring the basket. I didnt know how much time there was, I just knew that if I put the ball in, well get a stop on defense and then win the game.
Mutebi put the ball in with 4 seconds left, Southeasterns final shot missed, and U-D left Cass Tech with a 47-45 victory Monday in a Class A regional semifinal.
It was a tough, physical game in which points did not come easy. Neither did rebounds, particularly the one the Jungaleers (16-8) didnt grab with 28 seconds left.
That was the basketball game, Southeastern coach George Ward said. Its kind of ironic, two plays on the interior down the stretch is what killed us not getting a rebound and this guy hitting a lay-up down there. That cant happen, but they did a great job.
Bigham scored 12 of his 15 points in the first half before U-D (20-2) adjusted its defense. Southeastern did a good job defensively, holding Winston to 13 points on 5-for-17 shooting. But Billy Thomas scorched Southeastern for 20 points.
Billys capable of that, U-D coach Pat Donnelly said. He didnt shoot it particularly well, but he plays with more confidence. Between he and Cassius, I dont know anybody that plays with more offensive confidence. Sometimes you wish he played with a little less.
Mutebi finished with eight points, and nobody complained when he went up for the last shot.
Nick is a solid player, Donnelly said. He doesnt get a ton of opportunities. Our perimeter guys have carried us, and thats not a question. Hes an undersized post player, but hes a tough kid, he battles, and he works at it. Every day he works on his post moves.
That work paid dividends and sent the Cubs into Wednesdays regional final against host Cass at 6 p.m.
Mutebi doesnt want it to be his final game.
I came in here after the game and talked to my guys, he said. I told them I dont want to end like last year. We ended on a buzzer-beater to Pershing. I wanted to get back to that spot, and I want to carry our team to the quarterfinals.

The 'fatal' fad for extreme exerciseComment on this story
London - Scientists warn that the fashion for ultramarathons, triathlons and extreme endurance bicycle races could be putting competitors' lives at risk.
The extreme events are increasingly favoured by celebrities including the comedian Eddie Izzard who last month halted a bid to run 27 marathons in 27 days in South Africa.
But while moderate exercise is of benefit, participants in extreme sports could risk doing long term damage to their hearts according to a study. Beyond an hour a day, vigorous exercise yields diminishing returns.
The warnings follow the death of Micah True, a US ultra-marathoner, who ran as far as 100 miles in a day. True was found dead of a heart attack in March while on a 12-mile training run in New Mexico. He was 58.
Under the name Caballo Blanco (White Horse) he was the hero of the 2009 best selling book Born To Run, by Christopher McDougall.
Writing in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, James O'Keefe of St Luke's Hospital, Kansas and colleagues said True may have died of cardiomyopathy, a thickening of the heart muscle that caused it to beat irregularly or pump inadequately, brought on by excessive exercise.
Dr O'Keefe has shown that extreme training can induce temporary changes in the heart.
But for some, if the injury is repeated, it can result in scarring and fibrosis - thickening of the heart tissue. In a study of marathon runners, 12 percent showed evidence of scarring of the heart and there was a "significantly higher" rate of heart disease "events" among them during the subsequent two years. - The Independent

Hi, I am hoping this would be the right place to put this thread. I recently got a new horse, a mare, called Suzie. Just last Friday, and she has been getting used to the paddock etc. I rode her twice, bareback, on trails around my home and she was a gem, but today after school I got one of my saddles and put it on her and it seemed to fit. I could see light through it and it appeared to rest evenly. I fixed a girth and some stirrups on to it and took her out and mounted her up. I was going for a ride with my sister who was almost finished tacking up her little pony. These two horses have been together a little while and they are happy with each other and don't like to leave each other, although they still will. I walked her out onto one of the trails just outside home and it felt like she had ants on her legs and she swished her tail and stomped her back legs a bit. But she did it two more times when I walked her forward to see if she would stop but it became apparent that it was not ants at all. I turned her back so she could see the other pony, thinking that may be the problem, but she did it once more. I waited then for the other pony and then we walked down the trail but she continued to do it. Along this trail (it's very open) I have an arena I made so I took her in there for the first time and got off and lunged her and she was a good girl, although when she trotted she lifted her head as if she was lame, but then she stopped... Half an hour later, while my sister came back after wandering around on her pony, I got on, making sure her pony was in sight, and walked her but she continued to hop around. I disengaged her hindquarters and walked her around a bit but then got off and took her home, trying not to let her get a win.
After some thinking, I thought
* She is still new to home and may not be ready for a proper ride yet.
* I have been feeding her pollard, and I heard that soybean related products cause a problem with mare's cycles?
* She was being a mare?
* The saddle, although looking alright, may not have been the best one, Even though we hardly walked. I am going to try my other saddles that look like they fit.
* It was close to dinner time, or it was the afternoon.
* Her dental and chiro have been done, but it has been a while.
So I am attempting to do process of elimination, and I apologise for such a long thread, but maybe I could get some more knowledge from some more experienced people.

All equipment on the OSU inventory must be tagged with an OSU bar-code inventory tag, which is furnished by Property Management. Equipment acquired for sponsored research may also require an asset tag from the sponsoring organization (See PRO 902-02: Federal Property Requirements in Section 9). At the time the tag is attached, all information on the inventory record should be verified against the actual equipment and updated as needed. Clear laminated covers should be used to protect tags that will be exposed to the elements or to harsh environments; contact Property Management at 541-737-7350 for details.
Historic Properties
Assets included on the Historic Properties register should have a tag from the Historic Properties Commission. This tag begins with an "H" and should not be removed under any circumstances.
Tag Locations
Tags should be placed where they can easily be seen and scanned, but where they will not interfere with the use of the equipment or be hidden when the equipment is used.
Replacement Inventory Tags
When inventory tags are lost, damaged or poorly located, replacement inventory tags should be obtained from Property Management. They are printed in-house, so response time is usually 48 hours. Please e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com), fax (541-737-2170), or campus mail a list of the tags needed to be replaced to Property Management. New tags will be attached to the request and returned via campus mail or US mail.
Tagging Non-Capital Equipment
Property Management does not identify or tag equipment with an acquisition cost of less than $5,000. If a department has an interest in identifying, tagging, and tracking equipment costing less than $5,000, Property management can supply "Property of OSU" identification labels to the department.
STOP (Security Tracking of Office Property) Tags
Departments may tag equipment with STOP Tags to protect OSU's property interests and help prevent theft of equipment.
Untaggable Items
Use the term "untaggable" to describe items that cannot be tagged because they are too small, delicately calibrated, or they are used in harsh environments that would immediately destroy a tag. The word "untaggable" and a brief explanation should be added to the asset record text of the item. Departments should keep the tags in a notebook with information about the equipment to which they refer (description, serial number, etc.). When the inventory is conducted, the equipment is located and identified from the information contained in the notebook, and then the tag is scanned.
Marking Equipment
When an item is untaggable, or can be tagged but has no serial number, permanently mark the OSU inventory number on it using an engraver or indelible marker. An engraver is available for loan from the Oregon State Police / Department of Public Safety.
|Responsible Party
|Place tags on equipment promptly upon receipt in a location that is visible and scannable.
|Responsible Party
Tag items consistently in accordance with the following guidelines:
To ensure that capital equipment is properly used, maintained, and serviced to maintain the efficiency and usefulness of the equipment for as long as possible and to make the most effective use of the university's assets.
Equipment on the OSU inventory is intended for institutional use and not for private purposes. Use may be additionally restricted by the terms of the research contract or grant for which the equipment was acquired, if applicable. See PRO 900: Sponsored Research and Federal Property and PRO 206: Equipment Acquisition-Loan. Equipment should only be used by properly trained personnel and only for the manufacturer's intended purposes, and not misused.
Non-required equipment that has not been used for a substantial period of time should be made available to others or sent to Surplus Property for disposal.
Capital equipment should be maintained by department personnel or outside vendors in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedules. Maintenance schedules should be followed for equipment currently in use and equipment in storage. Records of maintenance performance should be kept for each item of capital equipment. Maintenance may include:
Maintenance records must be kept for agency-owned equipment (e.g., federally owned equipment belonging to DOD, NASA, DOE, etc.).
See PRO 1002: Inventory Records Maintenance
To protect the University against loss by properly insuring equipment
The State of Oregon Insurance Fund covers all property included on the Annual Risk Report, including the OSU fixed asset inventory. The fund is used to replace, repair, restore or rebuild state property that is lost, damaged, or destroyed, subject to specific exclusions outlined in the Department of Administrative Services Policy Manual #125-7-101. A $2,500 deductible applies to most equipment and supply losses; a $10,000 deductible applies to equipment lost due to theft or hazard which was preventable.
The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Risk Management Division (RMD) provides supplemental insurance to insure newly acquired capital equipment within a 60-day interim period after receipt. After 60 days the item is not considered insured against loss unless it has been added to equipment inventory. Departments must process the appropriate documents (Invoice or Fixed Asset Data Entry form) within the 60-day interim period to add the equipment to inventory.
Employees are responsible for promptly reporting loss or damage to their supervisors, who in turn are responsible for reporting the loss or damage to OSU Risk Management and the Law Enforcement.
Losses should be reported immediately to the OSU Risk Management Office, (541) 737-7252, to allow adequate time to process the claim. OSU must file a claim with Risk Management within a time limitation of 90 days from the date of a loss.
|Responsible Party
|Property Management
|Responsible Party
|Note: If Risk Management pays on a claim, the asset becomes the property of Risk Management. Any proceeds from the sale of damaged assets must be returned to Risk Management. A Surplus Pick-up Request form should be submitted for such items, identifying them as 'claimed' property, and Property Management returns anything received from their sale back to Risk Management. If a stolen asset is retrieved that Risk management had paid a claim on, that asset is also Risk Management property, and the department must either pay Risk Management for the asset, or sell it with the proceeds going back to Risk Management.
The State Insurance Fund self-insures agencies of the State of Oregon. Claims approved for OSU increase the insurance premium that is levied against OSU in future years. This results in OSU fully repaying the fund for any funds disbursed. All reasonable precautions should be taken to adequately secure and protect OSU property from theft or damage.
See the Property Security Policy in the General University Policies section of the OSU Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual for more information.
See the State of Oregon Risk Management Division web site for additional information.
To ensure that OSU-owned equipment and equipment in our custody is properly stored, protected and preserved during long-term storage.
Federal and State of Oregon policies encourage the use or disposal of equipment that has not been used for long periods of time.
Equipment used for current operational needs is generally considered required equipment and should be stored as appropriate. The long term storage of non-required equipment is not advocated. Non-required equipment that has been in storage for a substantial period of time should be made available to others or sent to Surplus Property for disposal. However, equipment that is extremely specialized and used only intermittently or during specific seasons for field work may be appropriately stored for future use.
When equipment is not in use, the responsible department must make arrangements for the optimal maintenance and protection of the asset. The equipment should be housed adequately with proper packaging to ensure preservation of the asset. Special controls and inspections should be provided for (1) equipment that is subject to corrosion or may be damaged by humidity and temperature extremes, and (2) the accessories and special tools that may or may not be regularly used with the parent asset.
Government property in the custody of a department should be segregated when required and adequate security and protection must be provided for assets both inside and outside storage. Access to property in storage should be limited to authorized personnel.

November 29, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says he will oppose President Barack Obama's resolution authorizing a military strike against Syria.
The Kentucky Republican says no vital national security risk is at play and there are too many unanswered questions about the United States' long-term strategy in Syria.
McConnell says the proposal is, quote, "utterly detached from a wider strategy to end the civil war" in Syria.
McConnell becomes the first congressional leader to oppose Obama on his plans to punish Syria's President Bashar Assad. The White House accuses Assad of using chemical weapons against his own people.
Congressional support for a strike has been weakening even as lawmakers scramble to respond to a Russian proposal to secure Assad's chemical arsenal.

Ryan Nugent Hopkins was the story early, but 19-year-old goalie Tyler Bunz ended up stealing the show as he and the Edmonton Oilers blanked the Winnipeg Jets 2-0 on Tuesday night.
The Oilers are now 2-0-0 in the Penticton Young Stars tournament.
Bunz was sturdy all night but seemed to get better and better as the game progressed. In the second period he made a tricky save after a puck hit the iron, then in the final two minutes he made two gigantic saves to preserve the win. He reacted to the final buzzer and his shut-out performance with a double fist pump before being mobbed by teammates.
Both goals in the game came from the Oilers in the first period. First, Chase Schaber scored less than three minutes in, then Nugent-Hopkins and Kristians Pelss set up defender Ryan Lowery, who got a puck through traffic and behind Jets goalie Chris Carrozzi.
Nugent-Hopkins's assist on the power-play goal gave him his second point in as many games, but it was his physicality that had fans, scouts and media buzzing, as he used his body effectively early on in the game, doling out multiple hits.
For the Jets, Eric O'Dell had a stellar chance to beat Bunz in the second frame, but hit the post, and Bunz kept it out of the cage off the firm carom. Then in the final frame, Carl Klingberg took a great pass, cut across Bunz's crease, but missed a tap-in on a yawning cage.

Chicken flautas is one of the dishes that set the restaurant apart from the crowd. (Madalyn Ruggiero / Special to The Detroit News)
Cinco Lagos has replaced Five Lakes Grill on Milford's Main Street, but anyone with even a smattering of Spanish will note that the name, if not the menu, is actually the same.
And those who thought turning an upscale regional American restaurant into a cantina might make for an awkward transition couldn't be more wrong.
After closing for a mere two weeks to tweak the setting and prepare the staff for a drastically different approach, the new scheme of things at Brian Polcyn's Milford restaurant was unveiled two weeks ago, and not only is it a winner, it seems completely comfortable in its skin.
Five Lakes Grill had a run of 14 years, and in its heyday, drew people from across the metropolitan area. That's a tribute to Polcyn, because Milford is not exactly on everyone's map.
Now, the storefront space on Main Street actually seems much better suited to the current direction than it was as a destination restaurant. To emphasize the transition, Polcyn hired artist Joe Lucia to paint a series of vivid Mexican-themed murals on the dining room wall, and even to paint the wooden chairs and tabletops with motifs of animals, cocktails, and music and dress up the white ceiling lamps with little splashes of color.
Yes, there are cacti, a flouncy-skirted dancer and beaming suns on those murals, but they manage to avoid cartoony clich�s.
With input from his Mexican mother, Polcyn came up with a menu that is authentic, but accessible. Wisely, it is a mere one page, with everything from the chunky fresh tomato salsa to the ranchero and jalisco sauces made in house. One exception: the tortillas, which come from a tortilla factory in Mexicantown.
While the names of the dishes are familiar, it's the execution of the flautas, nachos, tacos, enchiladas and fajitas that sets Cinco Lagos apart from the crowd.
Ingredients are fresh and high quality, from the excellent, well-textured guacamole (served for two) and the three interesting soups, black bean with rice, roasted poblano, and lime-scented chicken pozole (hominy), to the chimichanga, known here as a cinco-changa. Ground beef is not used at all, to the amazement of some of the early visitors.
Dishes that go beyond the tortilla selections include carne asada made with grilled, dry-rubbed steak, and served, as are the other entrees, with black beans and rice, chiles rellenos made correctly with poblano peppers, and an offbeat salad of spinach, green chiles, shredded pork and grilled pineapple, a flavor combination that works well.
Housemade desserts range from the traditional Latin-American tres leches (three milks) cake with caramel sauce to Mexican flan with fresh fruit.
As befits the new scheme of things, service by a mostly female crew in chic, short-sleeved soft blue blouses, is friendly and upbeat.
The six-cook kitchen staff, headed by chef de cuisine Eric Sredzinski, is mostly Schoolcraft trained and includes Ana Maria Perez, who teaches a course in Mexican cuisine at Schoolcraft and is helping with the transition.
General manager Mario Plaza is sharing his time between Polcyn's other restaurant, Birmingham's Forest Grill, and the new one, and he has come up with a beverage list that fits the cuisine nicely, including, of course, a notable house margarita made with fresh lime juice, as well as mojitos, caipirinhas, fruity wines and Mexican beers.
Cinco Lagos is off to a great start.

How America Went Gay
February 8, 2014Charles W. Socarides, M.D., (1922-2005) was clinical professor of psychiatry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine
and cured about a third.
Part One: "How America Went Gay"
by Charles Socarides M.D.
(Edited & Abridged by henrymakow.com)
For more than 20 years, I and a few psychiatrists have felt like an embattled minority, because we have continued to insist that gays aren't born that way.
For most of this (20th) century, we have considered this behavior aberrant...a pathology. We had patients who would seek out one sex partner after another-total strangers-on a single night, then come limping into our offices the next day to tell us how they were hurting themselves. Since we were in the business of helping people learn how not to keep hurting themselves, many of us thought we were quietly doing God's work.
Now, in the opinion of those who make up the so-called cultural elite, our view is "out of date." The elite say we hurt people more than we help them, and that we belong in one of the century's dustbins. They have managed to sell this idea to a great many Americans, thereby making homosexuality fashionable and raising formerly aberrant behavior to the status of an "alternate lifestyle."...
How did this change come about? Well, the revolution did not just happen...
It was all part of a plan, as one gay publication put it, "to make the whole world gay." I am not making this up. You can read an account of the campaign in Dennis Altman's The Homosexualization of America. In 1982 Altman, himself gay, reported with an air of elation that more and more Americans were thinking like gays and acting like gays. There were engaged, that is, "in numbers of short-lived sexual adventures either in place of or alongside long-term relationships." Altman cited the heterosexual equivalents of gay saunas and the emergence of the swinging singles scene as proofs that "promiscuity and 'impersonal sex' are determined more by social possibilities than by inherent differences between homosexuals and heterosexuals, or even between men and women."
Heady stuff. Gays said they could "reinvent human nature, reinvent themselves." To do this, these re-inventors had to clear away one major obstacle. No, they didn't go after the nation's clergy. They targeted the members of a worldly priesthood, the psychiatric community, and neutralized them with a radical redefinition of homosexuality itself. In 1972 and 1973 they co-opted the leadership of the American Psychiatric Association and, through a series of political maneuvers, lies and outright flim-flams, they "cured" homosexuality overnight-by fiat. They got the A.P.A. to say that same-sex sex was "not a disorder." It was merely "a condition"-as neutral as lefthandedness.
This amounted to a full approval of homosexuality. Those of us who did not go along with the political redefinition were soon silenced at our own professional meetings. Our lectures were canceled inside academe and our research papers turned down in the learned journals. Worse things followed in the culture at large. Television and movie producers began to do stories promoting homosexuality as a legitimate lifestyle.
["For some years now, gays have been disrupting our meetings, shouting down people trying to deliver their scientific papers, threatening individual doctors like myself...The gay activists have a ferocious irrationality. They turn every scientific agreement into a political issue -- which is all they can really do, since the only science they have going for them is pseudoscience." Homosexuality: A Freedom Too Far pp.153-154]
A gay review board told Hollywood how it should deal or not deal with homosexuality. Mainstream publishers turned down books that objected to the gay revolution. Gays and lesbians influenced sex education in our nation's schools, and gay and lesbian libbers seized wide control of faculty committees in our nations' colleges. State legislatures nullified laws against sodomy.
If the print media paid any attention at all, they tended to hail the gay revolution, possibly because many of the reporters on gay issues were themselves gay and open advocates for the movement. And those reporters who were not gay seemed too intimidated by groupthink to expose what was going on in their own newsrooms.
And now, what happens to those of us who stand up and object? Gay activists have already anticipated that. They have created a kind of conventional wisdom: that we suffer from homophobia, a disease that has actually been invented by gays projecting their own fear on society. And we are bigots besides, because, they say, we fail to deal with gays compassionately.
Gays are now no different than people born black or Hispanic or physically challenged. Since gays are born that way and have no choice about their sexual orientation, anyone who calls same-sex sex an aberration is now a bigot. Un-American, too. Astoundingly now, college freshmen come home for their first Thanksgiving to announce, "Hey, Mom! Hey, Dad! We've taken the high moral ground. We've joined the gay revolution."
My wife, Clare, who has an unerring aptitude for getting to the heart of things, said one day recently in passing, "I think everybody's being brainwashed." That gave me a start. I know "brainwashing" is a term that has been used and overused. But my wife's casual observation only reminded me of a brilliant tract I had read several years ago and then forgotten. It was called After the Ball: How America Will Conquer its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 1990's, by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen.
That book turned out to be the blueprint gay activists would use in their campaign to normalize the abnormal through a variety of brainwashing techniques once catalogued by Robert Jay Lifton in his seminal work, Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of Brainwashing in China.
These activists got the media and the money to radicalize America-by processes known as desensitization, jamming and conversion. They would desensitize the public by selling the notion that gays were "just like everyone else." This would make the engine of prejudice run out of steam, i.e., lull straights into an attitude of indifference.
They would jam the public by shaming them into a kind of guilt at their own "bigotry." Kirk and Madsen wrote:
All normal persons feel shame when they perceive that they are not thinking, feeling, or acting like one of the pack....The trick is to get the bigot into the position of feeling a conflicting twinge of shame...when his homo-hatred surfaces. Thus, propagandistic advertisement can depict homophobic and homo-hating bigots as crude loudmouths....It can show them being criticized, hated, shunned. It can depict gays experiencing horrific suffering as the direct result of homohatred-suffering of which even most bigots would be ashamed to be the cause.
Finally-this was the process they called conversion-Kirk and Madsen predicted a mass public change of heart would follow, even among bigots, "if we can actually make them like us." They wrote, "Conversion aims at just this...conversion of the average American's emotions, mind, and will, through a planned psychological attack, in the form of propaganda fed to the nation via the media."
In the movie "Philadelphia" we see the shaming technique and the conversion process working at the highest media level. We saw Tom Hank's character suffering (because he was gay and had AIDS) at the hands of bigots in his Philadelphia law firm. Not only were we ashamed of the homophobic behavior of the villainous straight lawyers in the firm; we felt nothing but sympathy for the suffering Hanks. (Members of the Motion Picture Academy felt so much sympathy they gave Hanks an Oscar.) Our feelings helped fulfill Kirk and Madsen's strategy: "to make Americans hold us in warm regard, whether they like it or not."
Few dared speak out against "Philadelphia" as an example of the kind of propaganda Kirk and Madsen had called for. By then, four years after the publication of the Kirk-Madsen blueprint, the American public had already been programmed. Homosexuality was now simply "an alternate lifestyle."
Best of all, because of the persuaders embedded in thousands of media messages, society's acceptance of homosexuality seemed one of those spontaneous, historic turnings in time-yes, a kind of conversion. Nobody quite knew how it happened, but the nation had changed. We had become more sophisticated, more loving toward all, even toward those "afflicted" with the malady-excuse me, condition.
By 1992 the President of the United States said it was time that people who were openly gay and lesbian should not be ousted from the nation's armed forces. In 1993 the nation's media celebrated a huge outpouring of gay pride in Washington, D.C. Television viewers chanted along with half a million marchers, "Two, four, six, eight! Being gay is really great." We felt good about ourselves. We were patriotic Americans. We had abolished one more form of discrimination, wiped out one of society's most enduring afflictions: homophobia. Best of all, we knew now that gay was good, gay was free.
Part Two "Gay is not Good"
Note - A sign of things to come. Searched Google images for "gay zealots" and all I got were anti-gay zealots. They are filtering perception.

Comments for "How America Went Gay"
Steven said (February 9, 2014):
That is right Henry; Gay is not good!
It is not arrested development, it is not a mental disorder and it is not the next frontier in freedom and love.
So what is it?
The creator of the universe says it is an abomination and a death penalty offense in Leviticus 20 verse 13.
He has called on people to keep his laws and judgments and do them in Leviticus 19 verse 37.
You either agree with Gods judgment or you believe that Satan and his followers are correct and homosexuals should live, practice their perversions and be protected and encouraged by the politically correct powers that be and their sheeple. Trying to charge through the middle wearing a rainbow hat and thong doesn't cut it.
Jeffrey said (February 9, 2014):
Anyone who cares to take the "high moral ground," defending the homosexual lifestyle as normal might want to take a look at this. There is a disclaimer, but in short, it's a look at a "gay pride" gathering in San Francisco in 2008. Extremely graphic, but remember, this takes place yearly, to this day, in broad daylight.
I was open minded and compassionate myself until a series of gay friends/roommates/neighbors/bandmates etc. changed all that. They really create Sodom wherever they congregate.
Once again, this is heavy stuff.
Asim said (February 9, 2014):
I saw a documentary on Netflix, about strong christian families living in the deep south of the states, who happen to also have sons/daughters who were gay. We see one upright Christian mother dismiss her daughter's gay sexuality, only then to be shown a gruesome photo of her daughter committing suicide by hanging herself with a bike chain-the photo is grotesque but very very powerful.
Within a blip of a second, the upright, common sense Christian mother is then seen grovelling to all these gay rights campaigners, shouting 'Never Again,....' It is almost nauseating to watch. However, again, it is a very powerful propaganda tool, and even I began to feel really sorry and guilty for the gays. The program actually made me feel frightened to see gays in a negative light.
With these kinds of films and program on display, how on earth are we supposed to counter the destructive propaganda being churned out on a daily basis??
Tony B said (February 8, 2014):
"All normal persons feel shame when they perceive that they are not thinking, feeling, or acting like one of the pack," say the gay activists.
No way in hell. If that is true I am very proud to NOT be normal. "Acting like one of the pack" has no relation whatever to thinking, it is strictly a matter of manipulated feeling.
And it is the major cause of all our problems in today's world as the shrinks with agendas have worked the manipulation into a science in co-conspiracy with the media, government and academia - even most religion.
It is impossible for a person who actually thinks to spend any amount of time in a modern western school without coming to the abrupt realization that the whole object of those prisons of children is to PREVENT them from thinking by manipulating them constantly to merely emotionally react (feelings) in a pre-induced manner to further the world conquest agenda. Most of their teachers are totally clueless of what it is they are really accomplishing.
Anthony said (February 8, 2014):
In 1989 I saw a documentary that showed estrogens in our food chain was causing an alarming change in the sexuality of nature ie androgyny, and same sex unions. Research was carried out which showed that those living on organic food did not have this disorder compared to those living on conventional food. The documentary showed that there was a balance in the birth data of those living organically whereas the conventional food eaters had a preponderance of female babies (because the trigger switch in the womb to create the male foetus did not fire as it normally would), were promiscuous, and had a lower IQ.
In the socio-anthropological literature there have always been 1% of our population that could be characterized as homosexual. They usually occupied the position of shamans and healers in the various cultures of past. Today however the % is more like 20%, or more.
Although I agree wholeheartedly with the idea that the satanic agenda is promoting this unhealthy practice ( because homosexuality and paedophilia are the marks of the satanist )
promiscuity and homosexuality is due also to our exposure to estrogens and other hormone triggers in our environment - a situation that is now beyond our control.
JG said (February 8, 2014):
This whole insanity of sexual perversion such as "gay" being legitimate and normal behavior is a flat out satanic deception being propagated by Hollywood and the MSM to degenerate the masses.
This is a classic case of Satan attempting to thwart God's plan of being fruitful and reproducing by replacing it with another lie.
I really feel for the innocent ones who have been "duped" by this latest Psy-Op.
Joe A said (February 8, 2014):
Thanks for this article. I always heard homosexuality could be cured. But have never seen a lot of info on the cure. I've seen a ton of info on people painted as Religious zealots or hypocrites who say they can cure homosexuality, then are caught cheating on their wife with a man. I believe similar to when you do a search for gay zealots, the only thing that comes up is anti-gay zealots.
"They" are only showing instances when people claim to heal homosexuality and fail miserably, thus making a joke of the idea. CHARLES W. SOCARIDES. Now I know one piece of truth "they've" been hiding. It was hard for me to argue that it was an aberration that could be cured, without being able to sight a case. Now I can. Awesome.
Debra said (March 11, 2013):
Agreed (with Tony B). The term "gay" is a misnomer for men having sex with men. The correct word to apply to these men is "sodomites". Using
"gay" is part of their brainwashing technique.
Rick said (March 11, 2013):
Read both excerpts on Socarides. Well during this, somehow I came across Kay Griggs, who was married to a Marine. She was interviewed over some 8 hours (which produced a jaw dropping expose). I can't do it justice. You have to see it. This "culture" will continue to expand opening up a Pandora's box of new societal norms. Descent into Hell.
Luis said (March 11, 2013):
Great article on gays take over America Henry-no question it was well organized & supported by all segments of media & Hollywood ( no surprise there)Super tool to dismantle a nation /Christianity / moral order. & national unity. Jewell of social engineering.
Tony B said (March 11, 2013):
Henry, quit misusing the word "gay." It means happy, not queer. Read that last article substituting the word "queer" or "fagot" every place the word "gay" is misused by the writer (seems like hundreds). When you read that article properly in the manner suggested, it damned near makes you throw up.
Richard said (March 11, 2013):
"Speaking of Freemasonry"... how much support and cover do you think the Grand Lodges have given the "gay movement"? There's always been much smoke the fire: starting with the burning of Knights Templar Grand Master Jaques De Molay and most of his lodge members for sodomy and Satanism 701 years ago this month. The Scottish Rite Freemasons named their teenage boy' incubator organization after this fudge-packer. Mason's consider him a martyr. He's also an LGBT martyr http://gayhistory.wikidot.com/lgbt-victims
For those that don't see a connection between Freemasonry and repeal of sodomy laws and gradualization of gay legislation check out how many in the Senate, Congress, and State Legislatures in the United States are in at least one Masonic organization, including the elite ones like Skull & Bones, Legion of Honor, Order of the Amarath ( wives of Masons masquerading as a charity), etc.
The US Secretary of State has been openly threatening nations all over the world to decriminalize sodomy and get with the program - or lose their US aid or even get on the short list for 'regime change'. It's now plain to see that homosexualization of the WORLD is an UN / CFR / NWO "must be" agenda.
Since homosexuals and lesbians actually comprise less than 2% of the aggregate population they can't have enough money and influence to have gotten so much power all alone. They're being used as chaos agents by a more powerful coterie with another agenda. Top down power has once again created an illusion of hegemony for a fringe demographic and conned even themselves into believing a phony identity profile that's been dreamed up for them.
It's "unnatural" for homosexuals to want marriage, the responsibility of children, or a "straight lifestyle".
Brian said (March 10, 2013):
The 1995 article recently posted on your site sums it up perfectly. There is, and has been for a long time now, a deliberate, sophisticated campaign to push the homosexual disorder on the public. All the tactics laid out in Madsen and Kirk's book are now on open display. Anyone even daring to voice public disapproval of the gay lifestyle (disorder) is roundly vilified as a "hater" and/or "bully".
I have a feeling that there are far more people in the public eye who disapprove of homosexuality, but have been made too timid to come out and say it. Look at what happened last month when that NFL player stated his displeasure at having homosexual men in the locker room. He was forced to give a public apology. You could not ask for a more clear example of the "shaming" tactic mentioned in the above mentioned book.
As for Tom Hanks, I have had my suspicions about him for some time now. If he is not a card carrying Freemason, then he is at the very least one of their little propaganda shills. His first movie, called Mazes and Monsters is rife with occult symbolism, and he has done two propaganda pieces shilling for the NASA moon landing hoax: Apollo 13 directed by another suspected Freemason Ron Howard, and a documentary entitled From The Earth to The Moon. He is also said to be producing an HBO documentary on the Kennedy assassination promoting the long discredited lone gunman theory. The guy is a complete agent as far as I am concerned, and there are many, many more in the movie and music industry as you your readers well know.
Check out the new fashion trend for male rappers - http://bossip.com/697930/pot-meet-kettle-chris-brown-disses-kanyes-diddys-and-vin-diesels-suspect-skirt-rockin-steez-on-instagram/ Could it be any more obvious that someone or some group with lots of money and power is controlling the music industry and using it to reshape society into adopting deviant homosexual behavior patterns?
As said before - your site is a beacon of light amidst an ever widening and expanding veil of darkness descending upon our world. Keep up the great work.

Title IX is a federal civil rights statute that prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funds. It is part of the 1972 Education Amendments. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) within the US Department of Education is responsible for enforcing Title IX. Since our colleges receive federal funds, the athletic program falls under Title IX regulations.
In 1979, OCR issued an "Intercollegiate Athletics Policy Interpretation" to clarify the Title IX requirements for athletic programs. OCR has also issued the following athletic policy document: "Clarification of Intercollegiate Athletics Policy Guidance: The Three-Part Test"

Nike Elite teams not exactly winning games
Not only are new uniforms breaking with tradition, the teams wearing them are losing games.
By ANDREW JONES FS Carolinas
A 32-year-old Maryland fan standing outside of Comcast Center on Saturday night had one complaint about his Terrapins' victory over Duke earlier that evening: The uniforms.
Travis Judd couldn't stand the fact that Duke wore one-time only alternate uniforms in the game, saying it robbed Terps' fans of having the full feel of beating the hated Blue Devils.
"Redskins fans would rather beat the Cowboys with them wearing the blue stars on their helmets, not some Navy blue helmet with white face masks with white jerseys and white pants. It just wouldn't feel the same... Yeah, we beat Duke tonight, but it felt different because they didn't look like Duke other than that (Mason) Plumlee and coach (Mike Krzyzewski) K."
It is kind of funny how a Maryland fan could be so picky when his team was in desperate need of a win over a team such as Duke, but it actually speaks volumes about some teams wearing alternate uniforms. He said Maryland fans should be able to capture that night with photos and not have to "stop and explain what it was Duke was wearing years down the road."
Duke's regular uniforms are classics, and on the rare occasions the Blue Devils play true road games, one of the pleasures opposing fans get is to see that traditional and well-known uniform in person. There's something unique and special about that "D U K E" jersey.
The same thing goes for North Carolina, which wore its Nike Elite uniforms in a loss at Miami a week earlier. At least in Carolina's case they wore their classic light blue road uniforms, so opposing fans got an eye-full of that unmistakable Carolina Blue. But they still had to look at the interlocking "NC" on the chest, not the traditional and gorgeous "North" above the numbers and "Carolina" below them on the jerseys.
UNC and Duke are two of ten men's teams that have worn the Nike Hyper Elite uniforms in the last month. Never mind that amateur athletes are essentially modeling a look just for the purpose of ringing cash registers, which is a different and more disturbing angle to this, but the uniforms are just plain ugly.
Anyone check out what Texas wore at Kansas on Saturday night? What about Gonzaga's uniforms it wore at Butler a few weeks ago? What about Duke's large "D" that just looked so out of place?
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, however, liked the look. But there's also another reason to give them a run in a game.
"I think the uniforms looked good," he said. "I wish we'd won in them. I don't think uniforms win a game, I do think that kids like different looks. They are always different materials and in the way people put out apparel and shoes nowadays you want to keep up with the very best things. Those uniforms are very light weight and good looking and may be something that we use in the future."
Then why not wear the same materials but with the traditional look? That's where this moves beyond just trying something out. But then again, that's a different topic for another time.
Krzyzewski isn't the only coach whose team wore the Hyper Elite unis and lost. Eight of the 10 clubs that wore them dropped their games. A few of them were completely destroyed.
Georgetown (over Cincinnati) and Southern Cal (over UCLA) are the only Nike Hyper Elite teams to win their games. And the losers: Maryland 82, Duke 81; Miami 87, UNC 61; Butler 64, Gonzaga 63; Indiana 75, Michigan State 70; Michigan 76, Ohio State 64; Kansas 73, Texas 47; Tennessee 88, UK 58; Notre Dame 65, Villanova 60.
Krzyzewksi is probably right, the uniforms had nothing to do with his team's performance, but that's not stopping UNC coach Roy Williams from offering a big, fat thumbs down when it comes to alternate looks from now on.
"Nike is a wonderful partner," he said on his radio show last week. "Our athletic department would not be anywhere near as good as we are financially without them. I love them to death. I went with Nike in 1997.
"They can get me to wear a little beanie or whatever they want, but I am not frickin' wearing any more new uniforms."
There are a legion of Tar Heels fans out there glad to know he feels that way, and at some point host fans wanting to get a glimpse of the classic UNC look will be grateful as well.
In a non-curmudgeon way, that's a good thing.

November 28, 2015
Another tragic accident on a Brazos Valley roadway this holiday weekend. This one happened in Leon County around noon Sunday when an 8-year-old boy was thrown from the bed of a pick-up truck.
Investigators say the truck had 7 people riding in the bed and blew a tire 4 miles South of Oakwood on US 79. The driver lost control and hit a guardrail, throwing out the boy. He was taken to Palestine Regional Hospital where he later died.
DPS says the victim and everyone else in the pick-up were from Mission, Texas and were apparently visiting family here.
It is illegal for people under the age of 18 to ride in the bed of a pick-up, under most circumstances. DPS says the 7 people riding in the bed ranged in age from 2 to 20.
Saturday morning, a 20 year old man was killed when he lost control in a curve near Madisonville.

Connellsville area gospel groups releasing CDs
Two local gospel trios with ties to the Calvary Assembly of God Church in Connellsville are releasing CDs soon.
Both groups will be appearing at the Connellsville church for a concert Sunday.
"New Journey" and "The Richters" will perform at 6 p.m. Sunday at the church located at 1316 S. Pittsburgh St.
All three members of "The Richters" and one member of "New Journey" attend the church.
"Since we both have ties to Calvary Assembly we thought since we both are releasing CDs at the same time it would be nice to have a concert together. We are celebrating that God has allowed us to do these projects," said Micki Richter of Connellsville.
Calvary Assembly's pastor, the Rev. Matthew Goldsberry, is happy to help the singers share their gifts with the community through the church.
"We are excited to host this unique night to help celebrate New Journey and The Richter's new CDs. Both groups are homegrown with lifelong ties to Calvary. We as a church are proud how God has open expanding doors of ministry for New Journey and The Richter's. It will be a night for both groups to highlight their music but also their Love for God and talents," Goldsberry said.
Micki Richter, her husband Don Richter and his sister Janet Dellinger of Mill Run have been performing together as a vocal trio since about 2000.
"We're a mix of southern gospel and traditional," Micki Richter said.
The group's new CD titled "Realm of Grace" is their fourth CD. Richter said the CD features 11 songs including "Joy Unspeakable," the second verse of which inspired the CD title. The $10 CD will be available at the concert.
Michelle Tantlinger of Ligonier, her sister Melissa Tressler of Mt. Pleasant Township and Kelli Moore of Roaring Springs make up the New Journey trio. In the past, Tantlinger and Tressler had performed with their parents as "The Gospel Rays." Moore, a former professional Gospel singer, performed with "Lordsong" which was nominated for a Dove Award in 2002.
"Although we just got together last year, between the three of us we have over 90 years experience performing gospel music," Michelle Tantlinger said.
This is the first CD for the group which has been together for a little over a year. The self-titled CD features 12 songs.
"We are a more progressive or contemporary southern gospel," Tantlinger said.
The new CD will be available at the concert or on the group's website newjourneyministry.com for $15.
The concert is free but a free will offering will be collected.
"We welcome everyone to come and we are happy to be able to share our music with them," Micki Richter said.

Pasha Mezze is a family owned Turkish restaurant, which opened its doors to business in 2003. When they started in our little location, in Chesapeake, they were only selling grocery items and home décor from Turkey. More and more guests started to come back as they liked the hospitality as much as the food served by Pasha Mezze. To meet the needs of the expectations of their clientele and the future friends, they sought to make more dishes that were both nourishing and wholesome. In other words, the cooking at Pasha Mezze is done the old-fashioned way!

Your Excellency President Goodluck Jonathan, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Your Excellencies, Heads of State and Government
Members of the Diplomatic Corpse
Distinguished Guests
Ladies and Gentlemen
On behalf of the people of the Republic of South Africa, I wish to join the millions of Africans on our continent and abroad, as well as all freedom loving humanity in congratulating the people of Nigeria on celebrating the 100th anniversary of the amalgamation of Nigeria.
Mr President before going any further let me express our heartfelt condolences to you personally, and through you to the people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, following the tragic and needless shooting of students recently.
No just course can be advanced by wonton killings of human beings. Therefore this callously horrendous act should be condemned to the strongest possible terms by all sane humanity.
Your Excellency, like Nigeria and the rest of our continent our country South Africa has been shaped by colonial experience. Colonialism in South African in South Africa evolved into apartheid, a crime against humanity.
Yet, throughout the years of struggle we were sustained by the inspiring example of free African nations, not least among them Nigeria and her people.
In the past 100 years Nigeria has walked the distance towards creating conditions for peace, reconciliation, national unity and stability.
Overall reaching this milestone demonstrate that Africa, despite and regardless of its accumulated disabilities, remains set on irreversible course to claim the 21st century as the "African Century"!
Yet, Mr President as we celebrate this historic achievement, we do so conscious that much still needs to be done to emancipate Africa's people from poverty, inequality, unemployment and the burden of diseases.
The absence of peace, security and stability handicaps the development and growth of Africa, hindering our effort to push back the frontiers of under-development.
But as you are aware, much is beginning to change. Our narrative is no longer that of a rudderless, wrecked and wretched continent but that of a continent emerging from stormy waters to anchor itself in new found unity under the African Union and the New Economic Partnership for Africa's Development.
The theme of the conference speaks to the plea of young people across the continent whose resonant feelings featured by a young Mozambican Raphael, which reads thus "We want today to be learned tomorrow, we do not want tomorrow to be where we are."
In conclusion Mr President, let me say that today I stand here confident that South Africa, Africa and the World awaits this Great Giant of Africa to build on its successes and to stride into the next century.
Much as this is a celebration of the milestones of your country, it is equally an ode to our continent.
May Nigeria continue to be an inspiration to many of our countries. May your country continue to make the continent proud with its achievements.
I would like to wish you Mr President the best of health, strength and wisdom. I want to say to the people of Nigeria, like the Super Eagles you'll fly. Africa will rise.
I thank You.
