Gator Football History & Links
On Spring Practice
Prior To Spring Practice
"The primary objective of spring practice here is to provide an opportunity
for young players to learn and step forward to help the football team. We have
a lot of young guys who have the ability to be productive players and we want
to put them in the best position to be successful."
- Offense
"Offensively, we didn't lose that many players in terms of numbers, but did lose some very outstanding individuals like wide receiver Chris Doering, and linemen Jason Odom and Reggie Green.
We should have good competition in the offensive line for the two starting positions (tackle and guard) and for all the backup spots, where we hope to be much improved over last season. We redshirted several freshmen and a transfer (Zach Piller) and all of them have shown a lot of potential. The competition there in the offensive line could be the offensive highlight of the spring.
Jeff Mitchell, Donnie Young and Mo Collins are returning starters up front. We look for them to continue to improve and believe Mitchell and Young have a chance to be among the premier players in college football at their positions (center and guard) for 1996.
Other than Doering, all of our receivers return. Ike Hilliard had a wonderful sophomore season and could be one of the best wide receivers in the country this year. He is an exceptional talent who can catch, run and block. Reidel Anthony also has a chance to be a big-time receiver for us.
Tremayne Allen, Shawn Nunn and Taras Ross are all back at tight end. Erron Kinney is a redshirt freshman who might seriously challenge them, so we expect to be improved at this position.
Obviously, we are in excellent shape at quarterback with Danny Wuerffel backed up by Eric Kresser. That's a lot of ability and experience.
All of the running backs return and redshirt freshman Eugene McCaslin showed a lot of promise last fall and should compete with Elijah Williams, Terry Jackson and Fred Taylor. Fullback is in good shape with Jerome Evans and Dwayne Mobley."
- Defense
"We're excited about the 4-3 defense which defensive coordinator Bob Stoops will install this spring. The competition for playing time at every defensive position should be intense. With a new coordinator and a new defense, there is a lot of opportunity for all of our players to earn a spot.
We lost three of four starting defensive linemen for the second straight year. Keith Council and Ed Chester are the only returning tackles who saw much action last year, although Mike Moten and McDonald Ferguson played some. We also lost the defensive end starters, Mark Campbell and Johnie Church, but have some returning veterans in Willie Rodgers, Willie Cohens, Tim Beauchamp and Cameron Davis. Redshirt freshmen Reggie McGrew, Ernie Badeaux and Anthony Mitchell should challenge there in the line.
James Bates is a returning starter at middle linebacker, but he should get strong competition from Johnny Rutledge and other players who develop during the spring. Kavin Walton will miss the spring due to his knee surgery, but we expect him back at full speed by the fall. The competition at the two other linebacker positions (strong-side LB (Sam) and weak-side LB (Will)) will be wide open. Mike Peterson and Xavier McCray have played a little there, but this is an area where a lot of players will have the opportunity to compete and contribute.
The most experienced area on our defensive team is the secondary. Anthone Lott, Fred Weary and Shea Showers all saw a lot of action at the corners, and Teako Brown, Mike Harris and Demetric Jackson all started at safety at various points. Lawrence Wright was an all-conference player at strong safety and Tony George is a young player with potential. We have some fine young redshirt freshmen who will also get a good look this spring.
The coaching staff on defense will take a close look at how our players are progressing this spring, and there will probably be many position changes in an effort to put players in the spot where they can best be successful and help the team. It will be interesting to see who comes forward to claim the starting and key backup jobs.
- Special Teams
"All of our kicking specialists return. Hopefully the competition this spring and in the fall will make us better. Bart Edmiston, Robby Stevenson and Matt Teague will all be in the battle."
"The primary objective of spring practice was to provide an opportunity for
young players to learn and step forward to help the football team and it was
a good spring from that standpoint. Our young guys got a lot of work and many
of them showed significant improvement. If this will carry over into the fall,
and if they continue to improve themselves in the offseason, a lot of them will
be important contributors to the 1996 team."
- Offense
"Center Jeff Mitchell, guard Donnie Young and tackle Mo Collins are returning starters on the offensive line, and we have good competition for the other two starting positions and for all the backup spots. We hope to be improved over a year ago. Mitchell and Young have a chance to be among the premier players in the nation at their positions for 1996. Zach Piller could develop into a solid tackle. Ryan Kalich and Deac Story are battling for a starting role at guard.
Other than Chris Doering, all our receivers return. Ike Hilliard had an outstanding spring and could be one of the best wide receivers in the country next season. He's got a chance to be a super player before his career is over here because of his great attitude, work habits and ability to catch, run and block. Reidel Anthony also has a chance to be a big-time receiver for us. Hopefully Jacquez Green will be fully back in the fall. Jamie Richardson had an excellent spring. We should get some quality backup people from a group which includes Nafis Karim, Travis McGriff, David Nabavi and Tyrone Baker.
Tremayne Allen came out of the spring as the number one tight end and is being pushed by Shawn Nunn, who had an excellent spring, and Taras Ross. All three are improved over last season.
All of the running backs returned and have improved. With Fred Taylor, Eli Williams, Terry Jackson and Eugene McCaslin we are in good shape at tailback, and Jerome Evans and Dwayne Mobley give us a solid fullback position.
Obviously we are in excellent shape at quarterback with Danny Wuerffel and Eric Kresser. That's a lot of ability and experience. Wuerffel was named the nation's top college quarterback last season (Davey O'Brien Award) and he improved in the spring. Kresser is an exceptional talent. Behind them we have Brian Schottenheimer and Noah Brindise competing for the third spot."
- Defense
"We're excited about the 4-3 defense which defensive coordinator Bob Stoops and his staff started installing this spring. They are in the learning and developing process now but showed a lot of improvement during the spring. The competition for playing time is intense.
It all starts up front where we lost three starters from last year's team. Ed Chester and Keith Council are the most experienced tackles we have, but Mike Moten and Reggie McGrew are really pushing hard for playing time and starting roles. Ernie Badeaux and McDonald Ferguson could contribute. At end, young players like Willie Cohens, Willie Rodgers and Tim Beauchamp were impressive in the spring, and Cameron Davis is a senior who is competing with Beauchamp for a starting job.
James Bates finished spring as the starting middle linebacker and Keith Kelsey was impressive there, also. Johnny Rutledge has a lot of athletic ability and could be a standout weakside (Will) linebacker. Mike Peterson and Jevon Kearse played well at times at strongside (Sam) linebacker, and Lawrence Wright could play this position. These are positions where several players have a chance in the fall to earn playing time.
The most experienced area on our defensive team is the secondary. Anthone Lott and Fred Weary are all-star candidates at the corners, and Shea Showers is a solid player there. Lawrence Wright is an all-conference strong safety and the free safety position is a close race between Mike Harris and Teako Brown. Demetric Jackson could play strong or free safety. We've got a chance to be good in the secondary."
- Special Teams
"We were very good in coverages, returns and blocking kicks last season and take a lot of pride in these areas. We must improve in the kicking aspects and maintain what we did on extra points, where Bart Edmiston was perfect and set a NCAA record. The competition will be between Edmiston, Robby Stevenson and Matt Teague. We lost our snapper and that job is wide-open going into fall practice."

MUNCIE -- Ball State University used to be called a "normal school," because it was created to establish standards or "norms" for high school graduates to become teachers.
While the university has evolved from a teachers college into a high-research doctoral institution, it is still in some ways "normal," a task force studying academic rigor at Ball State has concluded.
The task force was created after the publication of the debate-sparking book Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses, but before the state Legislature began looking into grade inflation, the national ...

HP intros iMac-like All-in-One 200, updates TouchSmart 600
updated 12:00 am EDT, Wed April 21, 2010
HP patterns AIO more directly after iMac
HP as part of its desktop updates this morning updated its All-in-One lineup with a new model and faster speeds for existing PCs. The new PC, the All-in-One 200, drops the easel designs of most of HP's all-in-ones for a monitor-like design not unlike the iMac. HP's system is oriented to the budget side, however, and has a design that can swivel the display independently of the base, not just pivot up or down.
The system doesn't use touch but carries a 21.5-inch display that's again somewhat similar to that on the iMac, with a 1080p output and, in a first for HP, LED backlighting for lower power and instant-on brightness. A basic All-in-One 200 starts much lower than its rival at $699 but with a dual-core 2.7GHz Pentium, 4GB of RAM, a 500GB disk and Intel's integrated graphics; HP told Electronista that Core-series chips will be a custom order option along with wireless input. The PC goes up for order today.
The existing TouchSmart 600t has been given a significant performance lift and can now trade up from a Core 2 Duo to either a 2.13GHz Core i3 or a 2.26GHz Core i5. Beats Audio is just as new and should improve the quality of sound regardless of the output method. Corel's Paint It! image editor and per-movie rentals from Roxio's CinemaNow are now built into the custom TouchSmart UI, and other apps like the recipe tool have been given minor improvements.
The new TouchSmarts should start at $1,099 for a 23-inch, 1080p version with the Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM, 1TB of disk space and Intel video. An upgraded version doesn't have a specific price as of press time but will move to the Core i5 and a dedicated GeForce G210M for its visuals.

Ask Dr. Joan: I'm 15 and don't want to tell my mom. Is the Abortion Pill right for me?
Posted by drjoan on Wed, Jan 1, 2010 @ 5:03 PM
Question: I am only 15 years old and I want to take the Abortion Pill , but I just don't want my mother to find out. What I am getting myself into ? Breyona
Dear Breyona,
We see many patients who choose the Abortion Pill who do not want their mother or the people in the house to know they are having an abortion. One of the best things about the Abortion Pill is that it can be hard to tell an early abortion with the abortion pill from a bad menstrual period. Both involve heavy cramping and bleeding. In New York State you do not need to let your mother know about your decision.
That said, usually people are not aware of all that is involved in taking the Abortion Pill. The Abortion Pill is not just simply swallowing a pill and then getting your period. It is best for you to go to a doctor to find out whether it is really the best option for you. The doctor will explain to you what to expect. There are usually three steps to taking the Abortion Pill:
You go to the doctor's office to see if you are eligible for the abortion pill. They usually check an ultrasound to make sure you are under 9 weeks pregnant. You swallow one pill in the office. You usually feel normal after taking this pill.
You take the second set of pills at home. Usually within hours, you experience cramping and bleeding.
You come back to the doctor's office for a follow up visit and to make sure the abortion pill was successful.
If you come to Early Options to take the abortion pill, we do our best to make sure you are as comfortable as possible:
You have a personal consultation with the doctor to make sure the Abortion Pill is the best choice for you.
We give you pain medicines, including Vicodin, to take home with you.
We give you anti-nausea medicines.
We give you an extra set of pills to take in case it doesn't work the first time, to avoid an extra trip to the office.
We have staff available 24 hours for any questions.
At Early Options, 9 out of 10 patients choose the Aspiration Procedure over the Abortion Pill. Both the Aspiration Procedure and the Abortion Pill are considered non-surgical, and are endorsed by the World Health Organization as the safest abortion methods. The advantages of the Aspiration Procedure include that it is done in one visit, there is less bleeding, there is less cramping, and there is a higher success rate. See our website to compare your abortion options.
I hope this helps,
Dr. Joan
Ask Doctor Joan: Does abortion cause ectopic pregnancy?
Posted by drjoan on Fri, Nov 11, 2009 @ 7:07 AM
Questioner: rachel
Subject: abortion/ectopic pregnacy, safe abortion
Date Answered: 2009-11-06 on allexperts.com
hello i 19 years old i had my first abortion when i was 16 years old i then feel pregnant again at seven teen but it was a ectopic pregnancy, now i have just turn 19 and pregnant again would it be safe for me to have another abortion. could that bring a bigger risk for me to have another ectopic. i want whats best for me and my future. like if i do decide to keep it ill have a lot of help and support and i could be ready. i just want to no the risk
Dear Rachel,
Thank you for your question on safe abortion and ectopic pregnancy. There are no studies that indicate that abortion will cause ectopic pregnancies. It would be extremely rare for you to have a second ectopic pregnancy. Abortion would not increase the chance of this happening. You are also not at additional risk to continue the pregnancy, if that is your choice.
Abortion is an extremely safe procedure, and should not interfere with future pregnancies. I would recommend 1) the Aspiration procedure; 2) the Abortion Pill; 3) surgical abortion WITHOUT scraping (sometimes called "suction curettage") as the safest abortion methods. Scraping during an abortion (D&C procedure) is known to cause uterine scarring (Asherman's syndrome) and is not recommended. When you call to make an appointment, you can ask if the doctor scrapes the uterus, and if you can recommend that they don't use a "curette" when they do the procedure.
I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan
Ask Doctor Joan: Safety of a second abortion
Posted by drjoan on Sun, Oct 10, 2009 @ 10:12 PM
Questioner: sarah
Subject: safety of a second abortion, safe early abortion, abortion pill, RU 486
Date Asked: 2009-10-11 19:02:44
Date Answered: 2009-10-12 13:19:53
i am 19 years old and had an abortion april 19th 2008 now i have found outim pregnant again and i cant handle having the baby i no this cos i have nothing in my life and eveyday i try t find a reason to live and fail so what would you suggest i do?
Dear Sarah,
There are no concerns with ending a pregnancy a second time, or even more. Abortion is extremely safe – it is one of the safest medical procedures. Having more than one abortion does not interfere with future pregnancies. You can feel confident that you will still be healthy and able to get pregnant when you are ready.
Another option it to try the abortion pill (Ru 486) . The abortion pill is an excellent safe early abortion method. It is a very safe, nonsurgical method. Some women feel more comfortable with this method because the experience is more like an early miscarriage.
I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan

There are tons of rules and regulations on the Coachella website.
Some of these rules are easy to remember (no guns!) and some of them are totally new (micro-chipped wristbands not tickets). We've got the breakdown on some of the things you should and shouldn't do to make sure you have the fun you definitely should be having!
Rule #1: Don't Bring Anything That Could Be Used For Murder, Torture, Getting Ridiculously High, Make You Look Like A Moron Or Will Save You Money
If you don't know what you can murder with that's things like guns, knives, chains, machetes, grenades, or whatever can be used as weapon. Which is basically anything, but the Coachella security is going to assume you are smart enough not to get creative with a fresh, young coconut.
If you don't know what you can torture with it's things like blankets, video cameras or professional cameras to document scandalous moments…or instruments of any kind. Also, why are you paying a million dollars to go to a music festival to sit around and play your own instrument? The mind does not comprehend.
If you don't know what can get you ridiculously high, keep it that way. Hugs not drugs. But if you like hugs and drugs, you better stick with hugs, but try to wear a long-lasting deodorant.
If you don't know what will make you look like a moron, that is BRINGING A STUFFED ANIMAL TO A FESTIVAL. How is that awesome or going to get you laid, even if you do stuff it with "goodies?" It's a stuffed animal. Have some integrity.
If you don't know what would save you money, that is your own food and drink. Because, you could sneak vodka in a shampoo bottle and have enough money for gas home. Or, you could buy really expensive vodka on the campgrounds and become a hobo. Or you could not drink alcohol and maybe not get heat stroke from dehydration.

Do you ever have the feeling that Santa Cruz is just one big elementary school and the Santa Cruz Civic is its multi-purpose room? A colleague joked about that the other day but then I got to thinking: Yes, there are times when, in fact, I do feel exactly that way. For years, I've wondered why Santa Cruz could not create a viable performing arts complex. (Or a charming boutique hotel right in the heart of Downtown—The El Palomar?) Sure, there's the wonderful Crocker Theater over at Cabrillo College, and a terrific theater space up at UC Santa Cruz, where Shakespeare Santa Cruz and many other shows unfold over the course of the year.

02 June 2010
The Dementia Services Development Centre South East (DSDCse) has hosted its first international conference at Canterbury Christ Church University.
The conference, Dementia Care: A positive Future, marked the official launch of the Centre and featured world leading speakers on dementia care. Personal accounts of caring for someone with dementia were also given by carers, such as journalist, John Suchet.
Canterbury Christ Church University, Dementia UK and Avante Partnership joined as equal partners of the Centre late last year. The aim of the Centre is to support dementia services in the South East by offering innovative training programmes and care qualifications for healthcare professionals as well as to improve the quality and development of services for people with dementia and their carers.
Penny Hibberd of Canterbury Christ Church University is Director of the Dementia Services Development Centre. She said: "This conference has highlighted the energy and positivity that can be generated when living and working with people with dementia.
"The Centre is keen to continue to develop a positive approach to dementia care that will improve services and quality of life for people with dementia and their families in our region".
The two day international conference focused on person-centred care, highlighting the need for two-way communication with dementia sufferers and their families. Key speakers included Dr William H. Thomas, Dr Trevor Adams, former carer Barbara Pointon MBE, and John Suchet, Honorary Fellow for Dementia UK.
The delegates also took part in interactive workshops throughout the two days, exploring the person-centred approach to caring for someone with dementia and the relationship between carers and care staff.
Naomi Dickson, Medical Matron at East Kent Hospitals, attended both days. She said: "I attended the workshop for working with expert family carers. It gave all of us a very powerful message to take back to the work place: that even a small difference can have a big impact. We need to remember that, and not overlook it.
"Looking after people with dementia can be difficult at times, especially in a hospital environment, but we need to remember we can make a difference by listening to families."
Vicki Pout, Dietetic Team Leader for Eastern Cosatal Kent Community Services, said: "It has been a very inspirational conference. It has reminded us to put the patient and the carer at the centre of everything we do.
"We should be learning from both the patient and the carer as they are the experts in that person's experience of living with dementia."
For more information on the work of the Centre or to view the presentations from the conference, please visit: http://www.canterbury.ac.uk/health/dementia-services-dev-centre/DSDC%20-%20Home.aspx
• The Centre is a partnership between Canterbury Christ Church University, Avante Partnership and Dementia UK, serving the counties of Kent, Sussex and Surrey. It is one of six dementia services development centres in the UK.
• Service development is a core activity of the Centre, with the aim to support dementia services to plan, deliver, or improve the quality of services for older people with mental illness and dementia, curriculum design and development, teaching, and training.
• Like the dementia services development centres in the other regions of the UK, the south east centre shares the philosophy of care that is a person-centred, relationship based approach that focuses on preserving the dignity and independence of the individual who has dementia. Dementia is viewed as a disability and the culture of care that we promote emphasises personal strengths, maintenance and development of relationships and retained abilities.
Dementia Services Development Centre South east Partners
• The Faculty of Health and Social care at Canterbury Christ Church University participates in a nationwide programme of research, education and training dedicated to providing more effective, person centred care for this distressing condition.
• Dementia UK is a national charity, committed to improving the quality of life for all people affected by dementia. Dementia UK supports the Admiral Nurse Service, Dementia UK Training and Uniting Carers.
• The Avante Partnership is the leading provider of residential care homes and care at home services in the South East. Avante offers specialist dementia care to its popular domiciliary care and community support services.
Canterbury Christ Church University
Canterbury Christ Church University has, since its foundation by the Church of England as a teacher training college in 1962, developed a wide range of taught programmes, research and educational services. It continues to be the largest centre of higher education in Kent for the major public services.
The University now has approximately 16,700 students based in five Faculties: Arts and Humanities, Business and Management, Education, Health and Social Care, Social and Applied Sciences. Our 1,500 staff contribute to the University's work at our five campuses: Canterbury, Broadstairs, Folkestone (in partnership with the Creative Foundation and the University of Greenwich), Medway (in partnership with the Universities of Greenwich and Kent with Mid-Kent College) and Tunbridge Wells.
In so doing we seek to sustain the University's Mission: 'Inspired by the University's Church of England Foundation and the aspirations of our students and staff, our mission is to pursue excellence in academic and professional higher education thereby enriching both individuals and society.'

Church hosts summer campfire series
July 27, 2010
By Kirsten Johnson
On hot summer evenings, nothing quite beats a good campfire with plenty of food, fun and singing.
This summer, Our Savior Lutheran Church is putting on the Midweek Community Campfire Series. The campfires are held every Wednesday night at 6 p.m. through Aug. 18 beside the lake at Lake Sammamish State Park.
The church invites all members of the community to join them. There will be hotdogs, s'mores and worship songs at every service.
Associate Pastor Ryan Fletcher said he hopes that the campfires will attract members of the church and nonchurch members alike.
"These are for anyone and everybody," Fletcher said. "We are really trying to get the word out and get folks from every walk of life. Having it in a public space makes it less about us and our church, and more about the wider community."
Lake Sammamish State Park was once the location where American Indian tribes held potlatches. Like the church campfires, those potlatch gatherings were focused on community and bringing people together.
Attendance at each campfire service tends to vary. Fletcher said it's typically from 25-60 people.
Food volunteer Dianne Tanner said that the Wednesday evening gatherings would be especially great for younger couples and families to socialize and meet other people from the Issaquah area.
"They're great for people who are looking for a relaxing, uplifting thing to do with their families," Tanner said. "It's good, clean fun."
The campfires are put on entirely with the help of volunteers. Fletcher first began the campfire series several years back, and has continued them each year in the summertime.
"He's a young pastor and he's innovative," Tanner said. "He tries to do different things that will encourage all members of the community to participate in Christian fellowship."
The church has many events planned for the summer, including a day camp for children from Aug. 2-6. More information about the day camp, the Wednesday night campfires and other church events can be found at www.oslcissaquah.org and www.oslcdaycamp.com.

JUNEAU -- A House committee approved a minimum wage bill in a single afternoon hearing Wednesday then rushed it toward a floor vote over the objections of dozens of Alaskans who testified and sent in comments. Opponents described it as a trick to uproot a ballot measure that would do the same thing but would be much harder to change later.
In what one witness aptly termed "Bizarro World" -- the distorted, cube-shaped planet in the Superman comic strip where everything is backward -- labor representatives, workers and a Democrat vigorously opposed the minimum wage bill while Republicans and that state's bar and restaurant association just as enthusiastically supported it.
"I never thought I'd be in the situation where I'm urging a no vote on a minimum wage bill," said Ed Flanagan, a former state labor commissioner and prime sponsor of the initiative.
But Flanagan said freshly minted House Bill 384, promoted at the House Labor & Commerce Committee hearing by House speaker Mike Chenault and his chief aide Tom Wright, was a "bad faith bill" designed solely to replace the initiative. Wright acknowledged the bill was mainly a copy of the initiative.
An initiative can't be touched by the Legislature for two years. But a bill that is "substantially similar" to a pending initiative will strike the initiative from the ballot, and as an ordinary law can be amended the next legislative session.
That's precisely what happened in 2002, witness after witness said Wednesday. A minimum wage bill on the ballot was usurped by the Legislature that year. Then, in 2003, one of its key components -- a cost of living escalator -- was amended out of the bill by many of the same legislators who supported it the year before.
Had that had that provision remained in Alaska law, Flanagan said, the minimum wage today would be $9.53. Instead, it's $7.75, 50 cents above the federal minimum.
Both the initiative and the bill would raise the state's minimum wage to $8.75 in 2015, then to $9.75 in 2016. Both measures would index the wage to inflation and guarantee it is at least $1 over the federal minimum wage.
Chenault said he simply wants to help working people and pledged that he himself wouldn't vote to amend the bill next year, though he acknowledged this Legislature could not commit any future one to leaving the wage bill intact.
Committee chairman Kurt Olson, R-Soldotna, said the passage of the House bill would guarantee the minimum wage would rise, but the initiative would face an uncertain future with voters.
"I trust the voters -- I trust the working people of Alaska," said Bryan Imus, an organizer for the Laborers Union in Fairbanks who phoned in his testimony.
Rep. Andy Josephson, the sole member of the Democratic minority on the panel and the only legislator to vote against moving the bill, said people "earned their right to be cynical" about politicians because of what was happening with the wage bill.
"You'd rather suffer a defeat (at the ballot) and have your head held high than have the rug pulled out from under you," Josephson said.
The other Democrat on the committee, Rep. Bob Herron, D-Bethel, who caucuses with the majority, said he voted for the bill but said it should amended on the House floor to a higher rate. If he succeeded, the amendment could have the effect of making the bill too different from the initiative to knock it off the ballot.
Dale Fox of the bar and restaurant association Alaska CHARR was the only witness to testify for the bill. He said he supported it because it offered a "reasonable and measured" wage, "not for the skulduggery that people implied."
But Flanagan testified that "the hospitality folks" were around the Legislature earlier this session looking for a sponsor "to knock the initiative off the ballot."
He suggested that if they succeeded in passing a bill, next year they'd find a sponsor to amend it to allow tips to count toward the minimum wage -- something the bill and the initiative wouldn't allow. Flanagan challenged the industry to just fight the initiative in the open.
"If they want to oppose the minimum wage, we welcome their entry into the field on the election. Mount a campaign. Man up. Register with (the Alaska Public Offices Commission) and take us on, head on, and we'll prevail, two to one," Flanagan said.

Bellows Zip Pocket w/Daisy Chain
Part of our new line of harness accessory pockets that builds upon technology from the backpacking industry. Our Bellows Pocket is now available as a vertical pocket with either a Velcro closure (AC3202), zipper closure (AC3203) or as a horizontal zipper closure (AC3204). Each new pocket includes daisy chain webbing on the external pocket for clipping Z-knives, trauma shears or any tool that you need in easy reach. Cave diving this week? No worries, clip a Z-knife to your pocket. Wreck diving next week? Switch out the Z-knife for a pair of trauma shears or leave them both attached.
You have probably seen daisy chain technology on hiking and mountaineering backpacks. Daisy chains are webbing loops sewn to form a chain. On backpacks, they allow you to attach carabineers for accessories. Dive Rite has taken that concept one step further by developing unique sheaths for our cutting devices that will clip into the daisy [continued]
But that's not all. Inside our new pockets resides a 36-inch, looped lanyard to clip off reels, line markers and pocket lights. No more fumbling for the right tools, just pull out the lanyard, select the tool you need, and stuff the loaded lanyard back in the pocket. Lanyard too long? Simply cut and shorten the cord, re-tie the simple knot and cut off the excess. We've seen a few divers out there sporting their own homemade version. Now the rest of us can enjoy the same great idea.
|Titanium Shears - Daisy Chain Clip
Popular with divers for heavier cutting purposes, the titanium plated shears will easily cut thru just about any entanglement
Dive Rite is the pioneering creator of technical SCUBA diving equipment for advanced, wreck and cave diving. Our Catalog is vast, ranging from backplates, harnesses and wings (BCDs) to regulators, lights, drysuits and rebreathers. To purchase Dive Rite technical dive gear, find a dealer near you. Also, see the Tech Tour schedule to learn if the Dive Rite team will be near you soon.

You think adopting a cute dog will keep you out of the Poll Attacks?
Think again, Toni.
Think again.
Let's go!
Associated Press poll: Pittsburgh is 11-4 overall and 0-2 in the Big East.
And yet the Panthers are still getting points in the AP poll.
The good news is that all four of Pitt's points came from the same voter, which means 64 of the AP's 65 voters understand the Panthers belong nowhere close to a Top 25 ballot. The bad news is that one voter isn't quite as tuned in. Her name is Toni Ginnetti, and this might be the first time I've ever Poll Attacked a woman. (Insert joke here.) Honestly, it makes me a little uncomfortable. But how can she have Pitt ranked 22nd?
Pittsburgh has no good wins and four bad losses (on the road at Notre Dame and at home to Long Beach State, Wagner and Cincinnati), which means the Panthers are in the running for the nation's most disappointing team considering they were ranked 10th in the preseason. And yet Toni has them ranked 22nd. Which is silly. She also has Xavier ranked 18th. Which is also silly considering the Musketeers have dropped four of their past five games, including Saturday's home game to a Gonzaga team that is now 11-2 and ranked 25th but somehow unranked on Toni's ballot.
In summary, Toni is the only person giving Pitt and Xavier votes.
So she's smarter than everybody or completely unaware of what's happened the past two weeks.
The latter seems more likely.
But, either way, let's end this on a good note. Seems Toni just adopted the cutest dog in the world. I'm for stuff like that. So because she's so generous I promise to never Poll Attack her again ... as long as she gets Jamie Dixon's underachieving Panthers off her ballot by next Monday.
Coaches poll: Jeff Goodman and I ranked Indiana seventh in the Top 25 (and one).
Now for the question you're asking ...
Do we really believe there are just six teams better than Tom Crean's Hoosiers?
Answer: No.
But what do you do with a team that's 13-1 with no bad losses and wins over Kentucky and Ohio State? At some point you have to throw away what you think you know and just rely on the body of work, and IU's body of work is among the nation's best. Again, the Hoosiers are 13-1. The only loss is a loss at Michigan State, and Indiana actually led that game with less than nine minutes remaining. (Michigan State, by the way, is 13-2 with losses only to North Carolina and Duke. So, like I said, IU's loss at Michigan State is not a bad loss.) Meantime, the Hoosiers have wins over Kentucky, Ohio State and Butler. That's really good at this point in the season and why I can't understand the coaches ranking IU 12th.
Let's compare the Hoosiers' body of work to one team ranked ahead of them -- Louisville.
The Cards are 12-2.
They have zero wins over teams currently ranked.
They have a loss to the Kentucky team that IU has already topped.
And, if you're into this sort of thing, the Cards are nine spots behind Indiana at KenPom.com.
So how is Louisville ranked ahead of Indiana? And why is Indiana still outside of the top 10? If the Hoosiers are fraudelant, we'll find out soon enough and adjust accordingly. But for now, they probably belong in the top 10, and they definitely belong ahead of Louisville.

Certain teams get a free ride all season every year. Duke is the biggest culprit. This year it's obvious Louisville was overreted from week 2. How 'bout Wisconsin? how are they still ranked? Look out for Vandy. Ding Dong the witch is dead!

Congrats to Indiana on an exceptional win over osu. Well done! Hopefully this will put to rest some of the gloom and doom posters from last week's Poll Attacks that were convinced that there was a conspiricy keeping IU out of the top 10. Obviously, that was not the case. IU just needed to score a second quality victory, and they sure did. If anybody cares to check last weeks PA, that TrollyMcTroll person was pretty dead on with their posts as it turns out.

I don't think it matters if IU is really a top ten team or not based on what we think. They've done as much or more than any other team has on the court to earn and justify a top ten ranking. I don't understand the lack of respect being shown towards their results by some. Put them up there and the polls will sort themselves out as the year progresses as they always do.

Parrish, considering your discussion of rankings, I again must question your sanity. You have ranked Toni's dog as the "cutest dog in the world". What were you thinking? The three legged factor makes it quite loveable, but my dog should be ranked at least 8 dogs above Toni's. I think Ken Pomm would back me up on this.

Good Poll Attack...I actually made the same comment on your top 25(and 1) article. I am an IU fan and I am still not convinced they are a top 10 team, but based on who they have beat and who beathem they deserve to be in the top 10 and ahead of U of L for sure. It is getting to the point in the season when you can no longer make your rankings based on how good you thought a team was or should be. Rankings should be based on the actual outcomes of the games.
Example, I still think Ohio State is one of the top 3 teams in the country, but based on the outcomes of the played games, they do not deserve a top 3 ranking.

Hey I love the Bills as much as the next guy, but they did lose on Saturday (although it was at The Pit, one of the hardest places to grab a win in college b-ball), so it makes a little sense that they didn't gain in the polls. Bottom line is with a finish that should be no worse than 3rd in the A-10, coach Majerus will have SLU back in the dance this year, and they should be able to get a 6-9 seed and possibly pull off a first round victory.

As a follower of St. Louis University basketball, it's disconcerting to me how they are falling in the AP and Coaches polls. While not ranked in either, they were about 4 spots away last week in both and have fallen closer to 10 out this week, without losing. I guess the A-10 season is here and they now have a chance to hopefully climb back in, after falling out weeks ago with their first and only loss, while beating teams like Villanova, Oklahoma, and Boston College. To me, it just shows how little respect the A-10 gets as a league.

Is it just me or is Doug Gottlieb becoming more annoying every year?? The Hoops world according to Gottlieb is so much different than reality, much less every poll out there. His upcoming draft board is a joke, his poll is a joke. He gives no credit whatsoever to any team that is playing good. He starts off "They do this well, that well, BUT . . . . ." FOR EVERY TEAM

Jjimjilbang is a complete relaxation spa, offering various thematic sauna facilities, rooms to lounge in or take a nap, snack bars, and more. During the cold winter season, it is popular to frequent these places; particularly the Dragon Hill Spa, a most recent popular spot. Korea Tourism Organization staff visited the Dragon Hill Spa to report their first-hand experience.

A few days ago, I wrote about how my lunch at Auberge du Soleil, from the mountainside looking down upon Napa Valley, made everything on the plate taste even better. Despite not having much of a view, I feel much the same about Hog Island Oysters in Oxbow Market. The environment made everything infinitely more special.
So before we dwell into the restaurant, a quick background on Oxbow Public Market. Situated slightly to the East of downtown Napa, next to the now defunct COPIA The American Center for Wine, Food and the Arts, Oxbow is a food lover's gem. For New Yorkers reading this post, it's very much like Chelsea Market, without the tourist crowd, and set in the country side with views of the ridges that form the valley. The man behind the Oxbow Public Market was the project manager for the San Francisco Ferry Building Marketplace, and you can certainly see the resemblance.
Which is a perfect segue into Hog Island Oysters, which has two California restaurants with locations in the Ferry Building Marketplace and Oxbow.
Aside from being a restaurant, Hog Island is an oyster producer a few miles west of Napa at Tamales Bay. Of the 3 varieties of oysters produced at Hog Island, they're most well know for the Sweet Water Oysters. Therefore if you're a fan of sweet, pleasantly briny, beautifully shaped oysters, Hog Island Oyster at Oxbow Public Market is perhaps the prime location.
On a weekday evening, the Oxbow Market is quiet and very comfortable. Although we were sitting at a bar with views of the oyster shucking and open kitchen, the noise level was that of a fine dining restaurant. With large windows and high ceilings, you're reminded constantly of the beautiful scenery outside.
We started with a plate of Sweet Water Oysters, which like its name is deliciously sweet and very balanced. I've always felt that East Coast oysters have more character, but West Coast oysters are more subtle and pleasant. With regular tumbling during the oyster farming process, all the oysters come out perfectly shaped. Hog Island also holds its oysters in a tank filled with purified water after harvest, for a really fresh clean taste. It's probably more sanitized too.
We also tried some pasta, which was cooked in a pan with plenty of clams, sausage and kale. The freshness of the ingredients really made the dish stand out. The broth at the bottom of the pasta bowl was spectacular. If only I had more pasta, or even a bowl of rice, I could have finished the bowl clean.
If you ever find yourself in Napa, swing by Hog Island Oysters for a snack or a meal. These are some delicious oysters, and they do not come any fresher.

The Top 10 Stoner Metal Bands
No other musical genre (aside from reggae) has a stronger connection to the cannabis lifestyle than heavy metal, hence the term 'stoner metal.' But of course, this term describes a subgenre that can encompass different types of metal music and mean different things to different folks; whether you're into that slow burning, hazy sound or a faster heavier more intense variety, there are as many ' stoner' metal bands as there are strains of marijuana. The following artists are best heard in a more mellow state of mind; but be warned, while some of these bands might look stoned in appearance, they all possess similar sound waves and patterns that heavy are enough to shatter your glass bong. So burn a bowl of your best stash, and turn your speakers up loud for the following. Here's our list of the Top 10 Stoner Metal Bands.
See also: The 10 Best Folk Metal Bands
This disturbing doom metal group formed in the Chicago area around a decade ago, and is known for a dark, hateful, harsh mix of misery and clouds of pot smoke, presented in a zoned out instrumental fashion with no vocals. This is an ambient and experimental version of metal that many stoners find appealing. The songs are insanely long, and sometimes cloudy and repetitive but head jerking in a way that wakes your mind up like a Sativa but lulls your body into a violent numbness like an Indica. Stoners love the band's sick and twisted sense of humor, with albums such as The Great Barrier Reefer (2005), and Hippie Killer (2007), which featured the fan favorite, 'Reefer Southerland.' Also in 2007, the band released Heroin,which packs the punch of doom metal but moves more towards an ambient direction. The actual presentation, that came with the CD included a tiny 'users' kit, with fake spoon lighter and rubber band.
Imagine a band that would be the musical equivalent of overdosing on potent pot edibles. This is Weedeater, formed in the mid '90s, in North Carloina, and now referred to as one of stoner metal's loudest, and most intense bands, both live and on record. The heavy guitar tones that echo the thunderous bass and smashing drums all roll up tightly to form a sludgy Southern Rock tinged doom metal that is thick with walls of sound and layered with fuzzy riffs. Weedeater features vocalist and bassist Dave 'Dixie' Collins formerly of Bongzilla. (See below).

KAMPALA - The head of European Union (EU) delegation in Uganda, Kristian Schmidt, has warned that a high youth unemployment rate is an avenue for instability if it is not promptly addressed.
"Unemployed young men without a future are fertile recruiting ground for radical ideas. There is instability not far away where we stand," he told fellow ambassadors, government officials and the minister of finance Maria Kiwanuka.
The EU official said both Europe and Africa need a youth who believes in the future and who dares to take chances without fearing of losing the family's savings and health.
He said the country needs youth who are not corrupt but those who have hope and trust in government's institutions.
Schmidt was speaking during the Europe Day celebrations at his residence in Kololo, Kampala on Friday.
He called for social cohesion and peace as the country approaches the 2016 election year.
"Social cohesion, peace and hope for the future are essential values as Uganda prepares for the general elections in 2016," he said.
He appealed to government to conclude negotiations on an Economic Partnership Agreement with the East African Community to foster economic growth.
Finance minister Maria Kiwanuka mingled with the EU delegation members at the event. PHOTO/Francis Emorut
The EU boss announced that EU will inject 28 billion Euros to strengthen development cooperation in Africa.
On her part, finance minister Maria Kiwanuka commended the EU for understanding government's capital investment in areas such as infrastructure development, road and transport and food security.
She also thanked the EU and development partners for continued support and appealed for more cooperation.
EU ties with Uganda started in 1975.
"Uganda appreciates EU and other development partners for continued support and we look forward for continued cooperation," Kiwanuka said.
The EU head hosted his guests to a reception of a cocktail of drinks and splendid cuisine.

They closed out their their show on the US Plague Tour with a cover of GG Allin's "I Kill Everything I Fuck" and it was goddamn incredible. It's not for some people and that's cool, but I'm dying to see them again.
I missed them opening for Kreator
and I missed them opening for Eyehategod, two things I'm really bummed about. I actually had tickets to their co-headlining gig in Baltimore with Venomous Concept, but the Nachtmystium half of that show was dropped by the promoter one day prior to the concert. Fucking. Bullshit.
That's the tour I saw them on. Maybe it was because they were so out of place, but they really weren't all that enjoyable. And they seriously had the worst sounding guitar tone I've ever heard.

Why would anyone equate the success of the oversized statue of Marilyn Monroe - with her dress blowing in the breeze - to life-size statues of everyday people doing everyday things?
If a nickel is spent on this silly and not-very-well-thought-out idea, that would continue the small thinking that harms this great desert oasis.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Friday was sentencing day for a Lexington businessman who admitted using his clients' money to buy sports collector cards.
The U.S. Attorney's office says 46-year-old David Byron received more than three years in prison.
Byron pleaded guilty to federal charges of wire fraud and trying to evade paying income taxes.
Investigators say from 2006 until April 2010, Byron wired money from his clients' bank accounts to his account, then used the money to buy $350,000 worth of collector cards, among other items.
The judge also ordered Byron to pay $688,530 in restitution to the victims of his crime.
Byron had a bookkeeping business.
