En Route / Arrive Port Moresby
Fly independently to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, where we are met and transferred to Airways Hotel. A day of our Papua New Guinea expedition itinerary is "lost" crossing the International Date Line. (Meals Aloft, D)
Port Moresby / Tari Gap Region
Take a morning flight to Tari, over some of the most rugged and impressive landscapes in the world, and transfer to Ambua Lodge, our home for three nights. At 7,000 feet above sea level, Ambua offers accommodation in nicely furnished rondavels. Thirteen species of elusive birds of paradise have been recorded here, many with long plumes and brilliant colors. On our previous expeditions, International Expeditions' guests have spotted 11 birds of paradise species on the lodge grounds and at the Tari Gap, just minutes away. This area is also home to one of the world's largest in-habitat orchid gardens. This afternoon on our Papua New Guinea tour itinerary is spent exploring the surrounding mountain forests and roaring waterfalls. (B,L,D)
Tari Gap Region
Tari is the land of the Huli "wig" men. The Huli's live their lives inspired by the birds of paradise and practicing ancient sorcery. Some of them choose to avoid contact with females for up to three years to grow their own hair to make ceremonial wigs, under the tutoring of a master sorcerer. These wigs are later decorated with flowers and birds of paradise feathers. During these days we will enjoy morning birding and excursions that will truly allow us to connect with the Huli people as we learn about their customs and beliefs. Included in these excursions is a visit to the "wig school" and enlightening discussion with natives, where you have the opportunity to ask questions. With luck, we may even watch a spirit dance! (B,L,D Daily)
Tari / Karawari
Take a chartered flight to Karawari over some of the most rugged and impressive landscapes in the world. Board a riverboat to Karawari Lodge, our home for two nights. Tour this area of lowland tropical forest, gaining insight into the amazing ecology and culture. In this remote region, stilted villages line the edges of flooded waterways and dug-out canoes are the primary mode of transportation. The people of the Sepik region express their beliefs through art, carving incredible masks, drums, baskets and sculptures that integrate themes of both daily like and animist beliefs. On a guided village tour, observe master carvers at work and also learn about preparing the primary food staple — sago palm. The birding here is good, and we look for northern cassowaries, cormorants, rainbow and red-flanked lorikeets, and sulphur-crested and palm cockatoos. (B,L,D Daily)
Karawari / Timbunke / Sepik Spirit
Board our charter flight to Timbunke and transfer to the Sepik Spirit. Once a small river-cruiser, the nine-cabin ship has been converted into a floating hotel. Explore villages along the Sepik and cruise along the backwaters and lakes formed by the river. Our itinerary is flexible to take advantage of any special events. Steeped in mystery, the people of the Sepik area have fascinated anthropologists like Margaret Mead since the area was first visited. Part of the mystery and attraction of the Sepik peoples is their amazing carvings, now famous the world over. The people of the Sepik have highly developed traditional beliefs and rituals, and villages are very different from one another. Our Papua New Guinea adventure includes visits to the "spirit houses" that are the focal points of several villages, many filled with carvings that tell the legends of the area. At some villages you may witness a traditional "sing-sing," the crocodile men and woman, and in each place there is the chance to buy exquisite local art. (B,L,D Daily)
Timbunke / Mount Hagen
Our morning charter flight whisks us to Mount Hagen, perched high on Mount Kuta. Spend our afternoon watching tribes finish their preparations for the Mount Hagen Show before spending the night at the Highlander Hotel. (B,L,D)
Mount Hagen Sing-Sing
Our Papua New Guinea tour spends two full days at the Mount Hagen Sing-Sing — also referred to as the Mount Hagen Show — to fully enjoy this renowned spectacle. The "Show" was established in the 1950's and is a gathering of 60-120 clans from across Papua New Guinea. Thousands of colorfully decorated locals gather, using birds of paradise, various paints and fabrics in their ornate costumes. They dance and sing in an almost cathartic state while being evaluated by judges. Once the judges finish their evaluation, visitors are allowed to enter the field and mingle with the clans. You will get face to face with the clans and have the most impressive cultural experience of your life, not to mention the superb photography opportunities! Each year, only a few explorers are lucky enough to visit the show. International Expeditions is one of only a few tour companies with guaranteed seating arrangements. On both show days, we arrive early for a privileges look at the scene as the dancers prepare themselves for the show. Our knowledgeable, local guide will be on hand to explain each clan and their traditions. We stay at the Highlander Hotel. (B,L,D Daily)
Mount Hagen / Port Moresby
This morning we board connecting flights to Port Moresby. Tour the city, including the National Museum, Botanical Gardens and a photo stop outside of Parliament. The small National Museum houses displays on the country's geography, fauna, culture, ethnography and history. There are examples of masks, tapa cloths, shields and totems, a magnificent Milne Bay outrigger canoe decorated in cowrie shells, and a display showing how bilums — traditional string bags — are made. Spend tonight at Airways Hotel. (B,L,D)
Port Moresby / Arrive Home
Early this morning, we depart Port Moresby on independent connecting flights home. After re-crossing the International Date Line, you arrive home the same day. (B, Meals Aloft)

November 27, 2015
A convicted killer's death sentence has been put on hold while the trial judge reviews the case.
James Earl Walker was found guilty of the home invasion robbery and murder of an elderly Houston County woman.
Eighty-seven-year-old Bessie Lee Thweet was beaten and shot to death in January of 2000.
Co-defendant Rex Allen Beckworth was also sentenced to die for his part in the crime.
But, the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals has ordered Circuit Judge Larry Anderson to clarify why he sentenced walker to die.
District Attorney Doug Valeska says the jury's death penalty recommendation was unanimous.
Court officials believe Walker is the only convicted killer to ever receive a unanimous death penalty recommendation in the history of the 20th Circuit Court.

|I Think, Therefore I Eat - Page 4
Jean had more than her fair share of emotional, financial, and physiological stress. She was struggling to support herself and the three grandchildren who lived with her on her salary as a school cafeteria worker while dealing with her prediabetic medical condition: high blood pressure and knees that hurt badly when she walked. Because of her weight, her self-esteem was in the basement, and her confidence in her ability to lose weight was almost zero. "To be honest with you," she said, "I don't think you can help me. I've been dieting on and off since I was 12. I've tried every diet in the world. I've lost 10 pounds more times than I can count, but I've always gained them back—and more."
While empathizing with Jean, I also knew it was important to give her realistic hope. So I asked her whether anyone had ever taught her how to diet. She was puzzled. I gave her some examples: "Did anyone ever teach you how to motivate yourself every day? Or enjoy every bite you eat? Or give yourself credit every time you follow your plan? Or get right back on track when you make a mistake?"
When she replied that she hadn't ever learned, or even heard, of any of these skills, I said, "Good. That gives me hope for you. I think the problem has always been that you never learned how to diet. No wonder you've had trouble." I then gave her an analogy: "If you'd never tried to play the piano before, would you be surprised if you sat down one day, with a page of sheet music in front of you, and found you couldn't follow the notes at all, much less play a beautiful piece of music? Of course not. You'd know that to be a good pianist, you need someone to teach you how to read music and how to play, and then you'd have to practice your new piano skills, over and over. Pretty soon, playing the piano would become easier and eventually you would be able to play that piece of music. It's the same with dieting. You can't be successful until someone teaches you how."
She still wasn't convinced. "Well, I can see how that might help other people," she said hopelessly, "but I don't know if I can ever lose weight."
I repeated her idea aloud, "I can't ever lose weight," and jotted it down. "Well, it would be interesting to find out whether that thought is 100 percent true, 0 percent true, or someplace in between. Would you be willing to do an experiment?" I asked. "Would you like to work together for six weeks and see what happens? I have to warn you, though, that I don't expect you to lose much weight in six weeks. In fact, I don't want you to make major changes in your eating right away. It may take several weeks for you to learn the skills you need before you actually start a diet."
Jean looked startled. "I thought you'd tell me I have to eat, like, 1,000 calories a day, starting today."
"No," I said. "That's exactly what I don't want you to do. First, 1,000 calories is too low for almost anyone to keep up long term. You'd just be setting yourself up for failure—either now or in the future. I don't want you to make any changes in your eating that you can't keep up for life.
"Second, I don't want you to start a diet until you've learned the skills I mentioned before; until you know exactly what to do and what to say to yourself so you can get yourself to use good eating habits. I also want you to know exactly what to do to get right back on track when you eat something you're not supposed to."
Now she looked relieved. She let out a big sigh. "This does sound different," she acknowledged. "I've always just gone full steam ahead when I've started a diet." Jean agreed to work with me.

Power Salad
Reminiscent of traditional potato salad, Power Salad blends the healthful yet candy-like flavors of sweet potatoes, Granny Smith apples, and raisins in a light dressing. Walnuts and apple slices provide a crunch to each bite. Make this salad several hours in advance to let the flavors blend.

Yup, the dreaded estate tax (which some rather alarmist folks have long preferred to call the death tax) is making a comeback in Connecticut, the New York Times reports . Though Republican lawmakers voted against the measure in large numbers, the paper said that Republican Gov. Jodi Rell supported the measure because she preferred it to the alternative: a millionaire's tax.
As writer Amy Feldman reports in the June issue of Inc. (which will be available on Inc.com presently), the trend towards states adding estate taxes even as the federal estate tax faces repeal is called decoupling. And it is a trend that is gaining steam. Connecticut now becomes the 19th state to decouple its estate tax.
As a reader service, here is the list of the other decoupled states as of June: Washington state, Oregon, Kansas, Nebrasksa, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Maine. The District of Columbia is also decoupled.
Note please that many of the states that have decoupled are supposedly anti-tax red states like Oklahoma and North Carolina and Ohio.
Let me end with a question: what's worse, in your opinion, a millionaire's tax or an estate tax? Does your state have one or the other? And if so, what do you expect to pay?

Outline nuclear deal possible in Geneva: Zarif
Press TV -(Tue Nov 5, 2013) Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says a framework deal could be reached in the upcoming nuclear talks between Iran and the six major world powers in Geneva.
"I believe it is even possible to reach that agreement this week but I can only talk for our side, I cannot talk for the other side," Zarif said in an interview with France 24 TV in Paris on Tuesday.
The Iranian foreign minister stated that a deal would be possible with political will on all sides, but it would not be "a disaster" if "a breakthrough at this round" is not made.
Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council — the United States, China, Russia, France and Britain — plus Germany will meet in the Swiss city of Geneva on November 7-8 to discuss Tehran's nuclear energy program.
"I believe there is a lot of work to be done. We have made some progress, but there is a great deal of mistrust in Iran concerning the attitude, behavior and approach of some members of the P5+1," Zarif said.
He also hailed as positive last week's negotiations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and expert level talks with the six powers.
Zarif arrived in Paris earlier in the day to attend the 37th session of the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
The Iranian foreign minister will leave Paris for Geneva on Wednesday to participate in the nuclear talks.
Iran and the six world powers wrapped up two days of nuclear talks in Geneva on October 16.
The US, Israel, and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.
Iran rejects the allegation, arguing that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the IAEA, it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
In addition, the IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence showing that the Iranian nuclear program has been diverted toward military objectives.

|Biofilms in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21493244 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Objective. (1) Evaluate the presence of biofilms in patients with chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and (2) investigate the association of biofilm presence and CRSwNP. Study Design. Cross-sectional study. Setting. University-based tertiary care center. Subjects and Methods. The study group consisted of 33 consecutive patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery for CRSwNP. The control group consisted of 27 control patients undergoing septoplasty for nasal obstruction without diagnosis of chronic sinusitis. Mucosal samples were harvested intraoperatively for scanning electron microscopic examination to determine biofilm presence. Statistical analysis was performed. For all statistical tests, P = .05 was considered significant. Results. Biofilms were found in 24 (72.7%) of the 33 patients with CRSwNP and in 13 (48.1%) of the 27 septoplasty patients (odds ratio = 2.87; 95% confidence interval, 0.98-8.42; P = .051). Conclusion. (1) Biofilms were present in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery for CRSwNP and also in controls without chronic sinusitis. This suggests that biofilms may not be sufficient to cause chronic sinusitis without other cofactors. Host factors could be the responsible for the pathogenesis of biofilms. (2) Although the prevalence of biofilms in patients with CRSwNP was not significantly different from that in the controls, the extremely wide 95% confidence interval, which is just below unity, suggests that a meaningful clinical difference may have been missed because of low statistical power. Further studies are necessary.

District, police looking for new resource officer
The Eudora Police Department will be taking over security duties at Eudora USD 491 buildings as the department and district search for a new school resource officer.
Eudora Police Chief Greg Dahlem confirmed that former school resource officer Tad Teehee is no longer with the department. Dahlem couldn't comment any further because it's a personnel issue, he said.
The SRO handles security issues within the district and has education duties with the DARE program, the Students Against Destructive Decisions group at Eudora High School and other instructional programs throughout the year at the district's schools.
"We're taking care of calls. We're going to take care of it," Dahlem said.
The city department employs the school resource officer but hiring and evaluation duties are split between the district and city. During summer months, the school resource officer serves the city as a patrol officer.
For the last three years, the district has used the Cops in Schools grant to pay for the position.
This year the grant ran out, Eudora USD 491 Superintendent Marty Kobza said.
"We have to wait to resubmit, which is required by the grant," Kobza said.
The district will retain the position despite the lack of grant funding, Kobza said.
"The issue from the federal budget is that a lot of the dollars initially allocated for programs like this have been cut, so it's more and more difficult to get that money," Kobza said. "We'll continue to try, that's for sure."
The transition period between officers won't have any harmful impact on the district's programs, Kobza said.
"From our standpoint, the police have been very cooperative and responsive to making sure we're covered when we need help," Kobza said. "It's been a very positive thing. It's a cooperative arrangement."
The district and department have also been working together to find the district's next school resource officer, Kobza said.
At the present time there is no timeline for the hire.
"I think more important than the timeline is making sure we don't rush and we find a great fit for the position, since so many of these programs are so very important," Kobza said.

According to Matthew McGuire, writing recently in the Chicago Tribune, whiskey cocktails will be the hot drink trend of 2003. (http://metromix.com/top/1,1419,M-Metromix-Bars-2003DrinkOutlookFromMMXFront!ArticleDetail-19894,00.html) He writes, "'Just like women were smoking cigars several years ago, a lot of women are starting to join men in drinking bourbons and scotches,' says Dominic O'Mahony, co-owner of Garrett Ripley's. O'Mahony is quick to note, however, that cigar smoking is so very, very passe."

If you do not add a "description" to the menu pages, it may or may now work** I added a couple words in each description, so it works now. We're having some trouble with the jQuery menu. We recently bought the theme, so I assume it is the most recent version.. The documentation described how to create a menu. I created 4 new pages. A home page and an about page with 2 child menu options under the about page. When I hover over the menu, the menu effect comes on. However when I try to click on the child menu items, it will not allow me to click and the menu closes back up. Has anyone had this issue before? If so, please share your thoughts on what could possibly be wrong. Thank you, Mark November 14, 2010 at 8:56 am #37311 DudeModerator Glad that you solved the problem.

Cool herd of Long Horns
This is an interesting open space just across from the Dallas Convention Center. It features Long Horn sculptures and three cowboys on horses moving the cattle through a stream. Very realistic setting. A nice quiet place to have lunch. Up stream are some man made cliffs with native plant life and a waterfall.

Pioneer Plaza
This sculpture is amazing. A lifesize herd of 40 cattle heading over the hill. It is a sight to see. A great photo opportunity. Commemorating the trails that brought settlers to Dallas and cattle to market, the park features native plants and trees, a flowing stream and a larger than life bronze cattle drive. Each bronze piece - 40 longhorn cattle herded by 3 cowboys on horses was created by artist Roberts Summers of Glen Rose, Texas.
Pioneer Park Cemetery
Set on a raised area of downtown Dallas, the cemetery was originally known as the Masonic Cemetery, and dates back to the be early days of city's history.
It became the final resting place for four Dallas mayors, as well as heroes and early businessleaders of the Texas revolution.
The western edge of the cemetery was excavated in 1907 by the Santa Fe railroad when they cleared a path for freight and passengers to its terminal downtown.
The final internment was recorded in 1921 due to limited space and no room for expansion. In 1961 there was an addition to Pioneer Park of a 60ft marbe and grainite Confederate War Memorial which was moved from Old City Park. Built in 1896, it is believed to be the city's oldest outdoor sculpture.

Record Breaking Feat
Along with the magnificent steers, you will also see life-like bronzed cowboys on horseback. This particular site was the original site of the Shawnee Cattle Trail, which began back in 1854.
The whole cattle scene is supposed to be the largest bronze monument in the world.

Pioneer Plaza
Pioneer Plaza covers 4.2 acres in Downtown Dallas. There are some 40 bronzed longhorn steers setting a trail down a small hillside as if on a cattle drive.
The Trees and Parks Foundation dedicated this plaza in 1995, to represent the early cattle drives that were part of Texas history.
The artist was native Texan Robert Summers.

Confederate Memorial
In 1997, I left the Convention Center and took this picture of the Confederate Memorial. I was particularly interested in the mounted police patrols that started out in this area, but I can't find my pictures of them right now.
In any case, the top of the memorial has a Confederate soldier. At the corners stand statues are Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Albert Johnston. Albert Johnston apparently was a Civil War General.
[In 1862, General Grant advanced into Tennessee, aiming to capture its vital waterways. On April 6, Confederate forces under General Albert Johnston caught Union forces by surprise near Shiloh Church. The battle culminated in an area along an abandoned wagon road later dubbed "The Hornet's Nest" because of the ferocity of the fighting. ]
The memorial was restored and rededicated by the Dallas Chapter 6, UDC. I know that DC stands for Daughters of the Confederacy, and possiblty the U stands for United, but their web page had such music on it that I couldn't stand to read it and find out.

Graves of Pioneers
One of the reasons for the name of Pioneer Plaza might be this little cemetery. Included in the cemetery are "remnants from four other previous cemeteries" (according to the sign on the site) including two that were associated with early Dallas fraternal organiations, the Masons and the Oddfellows. One section came from a Hebrew Benevolent Association, and the fourth section was the old city cemetery. The earliest grave dates back to 1853. The last burial here was in the 1920s.
Several early political leaders are buried here according to the Political Graveyard website including:
* John M. Crockett (1816-1887) Born December 26, 1816. Mayor of Dallas, Tex., 1857-58, 1859-61, 1865-66. Died August 4, 1887. Interment at Pioneer Cemetery.
* John William Crowdus (1828-1895) -- also known as J. W. Crowdus -- of Dallas, Dallas County, Tex. Born in Marietta, Cobb County, Ga., July 6, 1828. Druggist; mayor of Dallas, Tex., 1881-83. Died September 11, 1895. Interment at Pioneer Cemetery.
* Samuel B. Pryor (1816-1866) Born in 1816. Mayor of Dallas, Tex., 1856-57; served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Died in 1866. Interment at Pioneer Cemetery.
* John Jay Good (1827-1882) Born July 21, 1827. Mayor of Dallas, Tex., 1880-81. Died September 17, 1882. Interment at Pioneer Cemetery.
* Nicholas Henry Darnell (1807-1885) Born April 20, 1807. Speaker of the Texas Republic House of Representatives; member of Texas Republic Senate, 1845. Member, Freemasons. Died in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Tex., June 7, 1885. Interment at Pioneer Cemetery.
The graveyard was originally laid out on a hill to keep it out of the flood plane of the Trinity River.

A Trammel Crow Project
When I came to Dallas for a convention in 1997, one of the things on the city tour was this group of sculptures that represent a cattle drive. The tour guide said that the developer Trammel Crow 'railroaded' the park through.
Some folks felt that this site next to the Convention Center should have a hotel for folks that were attending the conventions. Many also felt that this sculpture was not appropriate for Dallas because it is Fort Worth that is the 'cow town' - Dallas was more sophisticated than that.
The city council eventually approved the project so long as it was privately funded.
In any case, this is a welcome bit of green space next to the Convention Center, and the sculpture is an outstanding one.

Cattle drive in the middle of the city
Since 1995, the sculptures of Pioneer Plaza have provided a focal point of historical significance to downtown Dallas.
The Plaza illustrates how Dallas was first settled (celebrating the trails that brought settlers to Dallas) and features native plants, trees and a flowing stream in a natural setting.
The thing that draws people to the location are the life-sized sculptures of bronze longhorn steers being driven by three cowboys on horses.

Pioneer Plaza
Pioneer Park is a commemoration to Dallas' beginnings with the trails that brought settlers to Dallas. The plaza is a re-creation of a longhorn cattle drive in bronze with longhorn steers being driven by three cowboys on horses. This is the largest bronze monument in the world and the largest adjoining open space in downtown Dallas.
Pioneer Plaza takes up around 4.2 acres of land that was once a parking lot.

Confederate Memorial
The Confederate Memorial is at the back of Pioneer Cemetery and in front of one of the Convention Centre entrances. At the top of the memorial is Johnny Reb soldier. At the corners stand statues are Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Albert Johnston.
Pioneer Cemetery
This little cemetery dates back to 1852 and was the resting place of prominent early pioneers. Civil War Veterans are also buried here. Four early Dallas mayors are also buried here.
The graveyard was laid out on a hill which now overlooks Pioneer Plaza and as a good view of the downtown. This site was chosen less for the view but more for the fact that the Trinity River was known to flood at that time.

Slash Chords
Beginner guitarists are often confused when they find a slash chord. The good part is that they are easy to understand.
The purpose of slash chords is to specify when the lowest pitch in a chord is not the root note. Often we call this the bass note even though a bass guitar is not playing it. For example, G/B is a G chord with a B as a bass note. When spoken, we call this G-slash-B or G-over-B.
Slash chords are very useful when the composer of the music wants to create a specific bass-line while the chords progress. If they did not do this, the guitarist is unlikely to play the desired chords. Just remember, that slash chords can have different voicings too. They only enforce the bass note of the chord.
The example below shows three examples of slash chords based on the open chord grips for G, D, and A.

snow settles on the lawn outside
lights flicker on my tree
i can see a whole row of houses
illuminated so brilliantly .
children knocking door to door
sing happy christmas songs
and the girl i have been longing for
is in my arms where she belongs .
this will be a special christmas
i feel it in my heart
it will be full of awe and wonder
and santa claus will play his part.
for he will deliver a tiny box
on christmas day
containing a ring of diamonds
inscribed with the words i want to say .
always and forever
the simple message will read
and i pray for a loving answer
when i fall to my knee's.
i'll whisper .. oh how i love you
you are my guiding light
the air that i am breathing
my hearts true delight.
so my darling will you marry me
and share all the love i have to give
and i promise i'll make you happy
for as long as we shall live .
yes the twenty-fifth of december
the day of our good lords birth
my beloved may give me the answer
to make me the happiest man on earth.

As PAC-10 play has drawn closer, I've been taking a good look at the different teams and haven't been too startled by what I saw. The only exception to that has been the success of Stanford and their undefeated record after losing the Lopez Twins to the NBA. They are even receiving votes in the AP and the Coaches polls! So I started kicking around the teams trying to sift through the soft OOC schedules, and misleading stats trying to figure out who will challenge for the PAC-10 crown this year.
The obvious choice is going to be UCLA. Sure, they're down from the past two or three years, but they're still a potent team with stifling perimeter defense and the best backcourt in the conference. But I didn't want to just stick with "UCLA wins it... again," I wanted to really dig into the conference. So pretend that UCLA is out of the equation - they lose Collison to a knee injury or for whatever reason the team implodes costing them 5 or 6 games and effectively the conference title.
Now I'd love to pick my Arizona Wildcats, that would be a great farewell gift to Olson for putting this team together, and a nice reward for Pennell and Co. who stepped in to pick up the pieces in the wake of Olson's sudden retirement. However, they're a very inexperienced team that is relying on three main players and a supporting cast that is largely unknown and mostly unproven. So, to prevent the homer pick of Arizona, we'll pretend that Jordan Hill's strained calf muscle is a torn ligament and he can't play until next year.
Let's whittle down the options here by eliminating teams that even with just eight teams to choose from, still don't have a chance. First to go is clearly Oregon State. They are barely a .500 team against competition that is severely sub-par of PAC-10 caliber. With losses to Howard, Yale, Montana State to name a few, there is little hope of them picking up 2 wins this season.
Next off the board has to be Washington State. I like their program and their deliberate style, but at some point when push comes to shove you need a guy that can get to the rim, and take over a big game. Their leading scorers (Aron Baynes 11.4 ppg, Klay Thompson 11.0 ppg, and Taylor Rochestie 10.2 ppg) are not players that can get terribly physical and have yet to show up against a quality team. All four of their losses have come against the only opponents on their schedule that could compete in the PAC-10. During these losses (Pitt, Baylor, Gonzaga, and LSU) their three leading scorers combined for an average of 26 points. If they want to compete, someone needs to step up.
Elimination next stops in Eugene, Oregon with the ducks. They lost a lot of talent gone to wasted efforts last year, and brought in a solid recruiting class. Their youth isn't coming along as quickly as Ernie Kent would probably like, and they've lost a couple ugly games because of it. If I were going strictly by record, they'd be off the board before WSU; However, they do have a good amount of talent and finally have a good inside presence with Michael Dunigan. Dunigan is a bad performance or two away from having been the Ducks' leading scorer to this point. The potential of this team far exceeds Washington State right now, and that's why Oregon gets a spot ahead of WSU.
Picking the middle of the remaining teams is almost like splitting hairs. Stanford is undefeated because of exceptional backcourt performances, and Washington has three losses, and no quality wins, but have a huge frontcourt advantage. So who's next? It has to be Stanford. I'm impressed with their 9-0 record after losing the Lopez Twins and all frontcourt presence. That is, I'm impressed until I look at who they've played. They're only reasonably good win is Santa Clara, and only by 8 points. Guard play is extremely important, especially in the PAC-10. But with opposing guards like Harden, DeRozan, Rochestie, Randle and Christopher to face off against, it's going to be difficult to outmatch any team in the backcourt. Stanford needs more inside presence if they want to win the conference this year.
Like I said, this is like splitting hairs. Stanford needs inside presence, but Washington needs another scorer. The frontcourt of Jon Brockman and Matthew Bryan-Amaning is the most formidable in the conference and the size advantage alone is what sets them ahead of Stanford. But the Huskies are still waiting for Quincy Pondexter to step up consistently and become the wingman he has the potential to be. Pondexter has only had three of those games this year with 21 points, 16 points, and 14 points, but not one of them against a good defensive team. If Washington wants the title they need a guard taller than 6' to step up.
The remaining three teams are clearly head and shoulders above the five I've already covered. And picking the gem amongst them is extremely difficult. I know that no matter what order I put them in, there is going to be debate and argument over it. Each team has a solid case for the best of the group, but ultimately I feel it comes down to who has the most rounded unit combined with coaching ability. Since coaching adjustments, team management, and when push comes to shove the coach is blamed if they fail, and only given a quiet congratulations if they succeed, the head coach has to be the distinguishing factor amongst these three teams.
For that reason, USC has to come off the board. Tim Floyd has done a good job with these kids. They play a very physical and aggressive style of basketball. Combined with four legitimate scorers and you've got a recipe for success. But my problem with this team comes back to Tim Floyd. It isn't their style or abilities that has me concerned. It's the fact that Floyd has permitted this program to become merely a stepping stone for players like Mayo and DeRozan to take until they are allowed to move on to the NBA. That type of individual play leads to turnovers (conference high 16.8 per game), and will ultimately cost them games against teams with better chemistry. It's Floyd's job to counter that, and I don't believe he's capable of it - after all, it was his recruiting that built that scenario.
So now we're down to Arizona State and CAL. An easy pick if you listen to the media, right? Wrong. Take a look at both teams stats. Statistically they are almost identical with the majority of their scoring coming from four players, and fewer than 5 point per game from the rest. The largest separation between the two teams, statistically, is opponents points per game. CAL is giving up 64.3 while ASU is only 58. So who do you take? I go with CAL.
First while Arizona State has gotten additional help from Rihards Kuksiks who has doubled his ppg production from a year ago up to 10.8 points per game, they still don't get consistent production from anyone except James Harden, and that's a problem. Arizona State is only as good as Harden performs within his team. Want proof? Look no further than the IUPUI and BYU games. Against IUPUI he didn't show up and was too busy talking with Amare Stoudemire behind the ASU bench to care. He tallied 9 points and ASU got lucky. The other problem is if he becomes selfish against a good team. Harden dropped 30 on a good BYU team, but ASU struggled to a controversial win. Harden can carry the Sun Devils far, but if they want to be best out of this group it's going to take a team effort.
Once again, it comes down to team chemistry and how well they play as a collective unit and how much faith I have in the coach. This CAL team has had the most talent in the conference, outside of UCLA, for the past couple of years, but hasn't been able to capitalize on it under Ben Braun. With the hiring of Mike Montgomery this team almost instantly became better. Montgomery has these kids playing hard, shooting well, and playing as a team. That's why I have CAL ahead of USC, ahead of ASU, and ahead of the other teams in this scenario. CAL is getting great production from all over the court. They have the size to compete with Brockman & Washington, and the guards to compete with anybody in the conference.

Don't know if you've had the chance yet, but if you have the time, check out my On the Record profile of Jermyn-based country singer-songwriter Dani-elle Kleha,
who's just 17 but already making great strides in her young career.
Dani-elle's gearing up to release her new album, "Eleven," which she recorded in Nashville with some of the Music City's best session musicians. I got a chance to listen to the album during a recent interview with Dani-elle and her parents, Debbie and Basil, and I have to say, I was very impressed. She's got a lovely voice, and she's got a real knack for the intricacies of songwriting.
On Sunday, Nov. 24, Dani-elle will hold a CD release party for "Eleven" at Genetti's in Dickson City. A longtime animal lover, she's decided to donate proceeds from the concert to local nonprofilt Marley's Mission, which provides equine-assisted therapy to child victims of abuse.

Mistakes to avoid
Don't bounce. Using momentum to increase your stretch can activate the body's protective reflex, causing the muscles to contract instead of stretch, which can lead to small tears.
Don't stretch to the point of pain. While you may experience a little discomfort in an area that is tight, actual pain is your body's way of letting you know something is wrong.
Don't forget to breathe. Not only is oxygen exchange necessary for the muscle to respond in a beneficial way to a stretch, but holding your breath may temporarily increase blood pressure. Focus on inhaling as you get in position for the stretch and exhaling as you move into it. Keep your breathing slow and regular.

Our ability to provide scholarships within the bylaws of the NCAA Academics plays the major role in assisting student athletes achieve their academic goals. Currently, we are fully funded in scholarships during the fall and spring semesters, but resources are severely limited when it comes to summer and fifth-year scholarships. Since student athletes are completing their eligibility in four years, recruiting has evolved by intensifying the pressure to graduate at that rate, thus making summer school availability a critical issue. Our budget is unable to absorb the costs for a comprehensive summer program; therefore, we are seeking private funding sources to stay competitive at the Division I level.
The benefits of a scholarship to our student athletes cannot be overstated. That is why we are reaching out to our former athletes to help today's student athletes.

"Wild Eagle" will open on March 24. / SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN-TIMES
Roller coaster enthusiasts are marking March 24 on their calendars. That's the day Dollywood will debut its newest ride, "Wild Eagle."
"People are very excited about it. Coaster enthusiasts are telling us it's the most anticipated roller coaster in the United States in 2012," said Dollywood Spokesperson Tim Berry.
The 21-story tall amusement ride is expected to bring in visitors to Pigeon Forge in droves, according to City Mayor David Wear.
On average, Wear said 13 to 15 million people come to the Sevier County town. He expects a 9-11 percent increase in visitors coming to the city in 2012, thanks in part to the $20 million roller coaster.
"I think the investment that Dollywood has made is an investment into the city of Pigeon Forge, to not only their business but to also the businesses on the Parkway," Mayor Wear said.
Businesses like the MainStay Suites.
"I think (Wild Eagle) will be an attention-getter," said the hotel's general manager Phillip Campbell. "I think people are going to talk about it. I think people want to experience it."
He said profits in 2011, especially during the summer months, were flat. Campbell blames the reopening of the Gulf Coast after the BP oil spill for the stagnant profits.
"I think people are ready to get out, and get together and do something," Campbell added.
The ride will debut on the same day as Dollywood's 2012 season.

To You…
Dear Friends,
Like Sandman Writer Neil Gaiman, I've decided to step away from all social media for AT LEAST six months. While I thoroughly enjoy engaging with each of you (Facebook is my main social place of choice), I need to create more "me" time.
Two trusted friends are currently administering the CapedWonder Facebook group. Join today by clicking here!
I will be doing page content and design updates throughout the year (new posts will be infrequent for awhile).
Much of 2014 will be spent with my family traveling and moving; concurrently, my focus and attention will be on overcoming some health issues and making important lifestyle changes. Ultimately, I'll be happier, more SUPER guy!
I appreciate your support. I wish you well. I wish you happiness.
Stay Super,
J i m B o w e r s

My entire childhood was filled with memories of my friends holding every nationality imaginable. Therefore, through forming friendships with biracial kids, how could I ever feel any prejudices towards those closest to me, such as my best friends? Individuals are much more easily accepted in international schools, due to the worldly experiences of students attending them. Furthermore, every middle and high school has one common trait not commonly admitted to the public. In each surrounding, irregardless of the location, lie the popular cliques and groups one must try to fit into despite their previous reputations. Each time a family goes "country hopping" they are given a brand new chance to start over and recreate parts of their life from scratch. Through each move, families build strong ties because everything around them is foreign except each other. Some may look at the opportunity in a positive way to make new friends; however, each move requires the separation of valuable lifetime bonds strengthened through unforgettable friendship.
After spending a particular number of years in a designated country, one slowly begins to adopt the language and culture of the people. On a typical day to work, my father would call out "Habibi!" (My friend) only to get a response back from our friend, Magdy, the most popular community taxi driver Ah Habibi! Kafhalik"?(My friend! how are u?) Both my father and Magdy looked forward to their interaction every morning; which put a smile of understanding across my face as I snapped one final picture of the two of them in front of his worn-down taxi before packing up to leave the fertile Nile Delta. I even became accustomed to the Egyptian "garbage man;" which in reality, consisted of a young boy riding a filthy donkey cart, with one or more wobbly wheels ready to become detached at any given moment. Another young boy would run behind and gather the pieces of trash that might happen to fall off the overly high piled heap of garbage.
Meanwhile, an old miniature Egyptian man would call out "IGIAYAH!" to men and women on the streets every day at the exact same time to come buy his fresh bread and vegetables. One of my most favorite attributes to the Egyptian culture was the fact that groceries and all fast food could be delivered to your doorstep! The city of Cairo is known to come alive at night, explaining the constant overwhelming noise, my preference being the "Beep, Beep, Beep-Beep-Beep," as the horns let the entire city know a couple had recently been married. To this day I still remind my parents that we are going to carry on this tradition in my family as soon as I exchange vows.
Looking back on these sights and sounds recreates fond memories which hold a special place in my heart, unfortunately to which I may never return. Furthermore, the average American teenager bases their lives around a closed, simple lifestyle. This may revolve around the mall, movie theaters, skate parks, or bowling allies. They may never be fortunate enough to build relationships with individuals from foreign countries whom do not even speak the same language as themselves. By being exposed to such a different form of life allowed me to appreciate diversity in societies worldwide.
When I moved back to the U.S., I realized Americans have a strong tendency to take for granted various privileges served to them on an open silver platter. Electronics, nice cars, and expensive housing are luxuries the typical local family will never enjoy. Instead, the entire extended family gathers in front of a miniscule television to watch their ultimate favorite sport, soccer. Spoon fed the "American Dream" from birth, the vast majority of Americans never witness what many in unfortunate poverty-ridden societies have to go through. Numerous uneducated locals living in the Middle East have to deal with suffering, which has developed into a form of harassment over the past decade. Such a problem has led to beggars waiting impatiently outside of American fast-food restaurants for a single Egyptian pound or the last sip of your left-over chocolate milkshake to feed their nine children. True, poverty does exist in the United States, thus the percentage of families earning minimum wage (if any wage) in these third-world countries is unbelievable! Everywhere one may turn; every street one may walk down, this poverty is apparent and affects their lives directly, while breathing in that ghastly pollution and smog.
Worldwide events likewise affect families living overseas; they typically have much more accurate knowledge of what is actually taking place. News programs broadcasted in the United States have a tendency to hold bias views and over exaggerate the harm or danger of an event. Bringing out the negative aspects of a situation allows the reporters to gain a more interesting story. Therefore, many Americans are misinformed and tend to label any Arab passerby as a terrorist. I can not bring myself to think lower of others because I only know these individuals as my classmates, my peers, and even my most successful friends! Since cultured expat-brats have been brought up in real-life situations, they are able to handle the experience(s) at an exceptional mature level.
My personal expectations of the maturity of friends may have explained the difficulties I faced through my transition to Katy, Texas. Having only attended tough private schools while overseas, I had never actually gone to public school in the U.S. I was shocked to discover the number of students in my junior class alone whom which I might be competing with me to be accepted into top schools in Texas. A culture shock struck me as I entered the campus on the first day of school. Having to cover up my skin to prevent harassment in the Middle East, I adopted the routine of dressing modestly. As I entered the premises, I was exposed to the typical American teenager with little modesty in the way she dresses and presents herself. I slowly began to adjust and eventually found valuable friends through the swim team. For the first time in my life I faced real competition. Like any average American girl, I enjoy having a mall five minutes away, but I do miss walking down the street and not understanding a word a local might be saying, because I spoke little Arabic. No longer do I have the privilege of seeing the world during my vacations or traveling to Europe for sports trips. I would not trade my experiences growing up in the Middle East for anything in the world.
Someone once asked me which country I preferred while living in five different Middle Eastern countries. I responded by explaining that in each new location I was of a different age and created a brand new life for myself to be filled with irreplaceable experiences. There is no possible way to choose a favorite country. Therefore, since I feel I have definitely benefited from gaining worldly knowledge as a child, I am definitely looking forward to giving my children similar opportunities to expand their perspectives of the world.

Movie review: Visuals not enough to heat up 'Planes: Fire & Rescue'
Disney's animated tale "Planes: Fire & Rescue" boasts some of the most breathtaking visuals that computer animation can deliver matched to a story so generic it could have been written by a computer.
This second installment of the "Planes" franchise reintroduces audiences to our hero, Dusty Crophopper (voiced by Dane Cook). The former cropduster-turned-racing star is having the time of his life, until his gearbox is damaged.
The bad news gets worse when his crew chief, Dottie (voiced by Teri Hatcher), tells him his gearbox is out of production and if he pushes his engine too hard, he'll crash. (It's the airplane equivalent of telling Rocky Balboa he'll die if he takes another punch.)
There's worse news for Dusty's hometown, Propwash Junction. Safety officials decide that Mayday (voiced by Hal Holbrook), the old fire engine at the town's airport, isn't up to the job. Until he's refurbished, and a second firefighting vehicle is hired, the airport will be shut down just as the town's annual Corn Fest is about to start.
Dusty volunteers to become certified as an aerial firefighter. He flies to Piston Peak National Park to train with the wildfire crews led by Blade Ranger (voiced by Ed Harris), a no-nonsense helicopter who thinks Dusty's not tough enough for the job.
Dusty must prove himself during the park's peak wildfire season. Compounding the fire crew's worries is the park superintendent, an Escalade voiced by John Michael Higgins, who in a plot twist reminiscent of "The Towering Inferno" and a dozen other '70s disaster films is diverting the park's firefighting budget toward his fancy new lodge.
The new movie, the second in a franchise spun off from Pixar's "Cars" films and produced by Disney's lower-budget DisneyToon Studios, serves up an array of new characters on Blade's crew including the lovelorn water-dropping plane Dipper (voiced by Julie Bowen) and the American Indian cargo helicopter Wind Lifter (voiced by Wes Studi). The characters don't have a lot of personality and seem to be created mostly as fodder for the toy shelves.
Director Bobs Gannaway marshals the animation well, particularly in wildfire action sequences that are dynamic and, for kids, maybe a little frightening. It's just too bad that in "Planes: Fire & Rescue," too much of the story is just warmed-over elements of other movies.

Plucky plane Dusty Crophopper is back, this time learning to fight wildfires, in a story with too many recycled elements.

It is our tradition for our Christmas week edition to publish a seasonal illustration on our cover. This year's illustration is once again by local artist Kim Proctor.
It depicts an old lamplighter plying his trade in the new streetscape of Sandy Hook Center, which in this rendering includes the new village Christmas tree at the corner of Washington Avenue and Riverside Road.
Ms Proctor explained that this year's illustration is "dedicated with great admiration to Pat Llodra for her compassionate leadership."

RENO, NV - Some recent nursing graduates from all over the country are in Reno for a new program at Saint Mary's.
Those with the program say it was was very difficult to get into. In fact, only three of those who were accepted are from Nevada.
The 17 new graduates are already busy at work, they'll be working 12 hour shifts, shadowing a nurse for a couple months, then they'll slowly start to work on their own.
The new program is called "Registered Nurse Transition To Practice."It has been an idea in the works for the past two years.
The program was developed through a federal grant which supports nurse education, practice and retention.
Over a hundred and fifty graduates applied nationwide.
Sarah Thompson is one of three nursing students accepted into the program from Nevada.
"I'm so excited to the accepted into this program it's a great chance to transition from school and have the opportunity to work with excellent respected professionals in the community and have them teach you and learn from them and make that smooth transition where you come from school. You have more training and the opportunity to learn more then being put in the profession alone," says Thompson.
The new program will accept two more rounds of licensed RNs this year.
The chief nurse says this program is a great move forward not only for the graduates, but also for the hospital.

Gone Green!
A few weeks ago, after a yoga workshop, my friends and I swung by the organic market at Legaspi village and though I am not (or at least I was not!) a big fan of green smoothies, I went along and ordered a big bottle of green juice from RAWlicious. Since it was my first real go at green juices, I let my companions pick the flavor and we ended up with the one called Joe's Green Mind. It was made of organic greens, cucumber, mint, apple, banana and pure coconut water. I took my bottle, looked at it dubiously, and gave it a go.
The verdict: I wanted more
Several times following that Sunday I found myself craving for green juice. Once I even surprised myself by turning down a couple margaritas. Prior to that you would have had to lock up my favorite pink fuzzy drinks in a mesa safe to keep me away from it! I guess my body was signaling me to make more positive changes, and it wasn't just to lose weight, but more to get my body healthier.
HOWEVER, since that Sunday, I hadn't had the chance to get more shakes. For one, the Sunday market is out of my way. Plus the delivery service of RAWlicious doesn't cover my area. Plus even though a friend of mine was willing to make my shakes for me, I was tamad (lazy) to pick it up. And to make it myself…FORGET IT!!! For one, I thought I needed a super special blender to make it (although as I have learned there are some limitations to a regular blender and errr…something about enzymes and megablasting and what not that I haven't understood haha). Secondly, it's soooo hassle! Third….IM LAZY!
But for some reason, I woke up today with an intense craving for a green smoothie. I tried to settle with just buko juice but I still wanted green juice. And so I gave in and experimented. I threw in an apple, a banana, some spinach, some malunggay, and a couple lettuce leaves into my blender with coconut water and viola…
green juice It's not as yummy as RAWlicious's, and I'm sure there are better ways of making it, but this is a great start, if I may say so myself

text: Known for incorporating exotic materials in the construction of its watches, Romain Jerome's Moon Orbiter Tourbillon continues the brand's "DNA of legends" theme, built in part with actual moon dust (used on the dial) and metal from the Apollo 11 (used in the case). Just 25 units of the limited edition timepiece were produced, each carrying a $115,000 price tag and featuring a bold, avant-garde design with oversized dimensions — 49mm x 45mm x 20mm. Pneumatic piston-mounted lugs allow the case to sit on the wrist, while five sapphire crystals allow an inside look at the sculptural flying tourbillon movement, both from the back and side. Check out detailed looks below.
