There's nothing remarkable about the land where the city of Rifle plans to build its new $25 million regional water treatment plant this spring.
Sitting on the north side of U.S. Highway 6 east of the city behind a locked gate with a sign identifying its future use, the site is a former gravel pit, surrounded on three sides by hills. Irrigation water meanders over the city-owned property, leading to the growth of 1.2 acres of wetlands vegetation on the 33-acre site.
It's that vegetation that will be destroyed when the bulldozers and trucks start tearing into the ground that will cost the city more than $114,000.
At its March 6 meeting, City Council was told that in order to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for disturbance to existing wetlands at the site, the city must purchase a like amount of wetlands credits, along with 0.006 acres of stream mitigation credits, from the Spring Water Ranch in Collbran, said city Utilities Director Dick Deussen.
Spring Water Ranch is an approved mitigation "bank," a form of third-party mitigation, which assumes the responsibility for compensatory mitigation success for a 404 permittee, according to a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency website.
Every 404 permittee is required to mitigate the loss of wetlands in some manner, and Rifle officials were aware of the requirement. City funds to pay the mitigation costs are available from the water capital budget of $355,000, Deussen noted.
"It was a pretty time consuming process," Deussen said Tuesday during a site visit. "I believe this is the first time Rifle has had to get a 404 permit."
City Council approved the expenditure by a 6-0 vote, with Councilman Rich Carter absent.
Save money by spending it
Purchasing credits is considered to be more economical than on-site mitigation requiring replanting of native plants and maintaining them over a long period of time, including Corps of Engineers inspections, Deussen wrote in a memo to the council.
City Manager John Hier said it makes economic sense to purchase the credits.
"If we either rehabilitate or recreate wetlands at a different site, what you usually end up with is a greater size of wetlands and it's more costly," he said. "That's why there are these banks that set aside land for this."
The city hired Environmental Solutions of Rifle to conduct a wetlands delineation, as required by the Corps of Engineers. Owner Steve Dahmer said Tuesday he inventoried the wetlands vegetation at the site a few years ago and found "very common wetlands species."
"It's scrub shrub, grass and grass-like vegetation, along with some arctic rush and inland salt grass," Dahmer recalled. "We see a lot of that in our highly alkaline soils out here."
The scrub shrub species are dominated by coyote willow and cattails are present as well, he added.
Wetlands role in the environment
According to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife web site, wetlands are lands affected by water, resulting in unique plants and soils. They may be classic cattail areas with a few feet of standing water, areas with very shallow water, or temporary habitats that only occasionally have standing water. Riparian areas next to streams that are subject to frequent flooding are also considered wetlands.
Wetlands comprise less than two percent of Colorado's landscape, but provide benefits to over 75 percent of the wildlife species in the state, including waterfowl and several declining species, the web site noted.
Since the beginning of major settlement activities, Colorado has lost half of its wetlands. By virtue of their position in the landscape, wetlands perform several functions valuable to wildlife and society, including feeding, resting and rearing habitat, movement corridors, groundwater recharge, flood flow alteration, stream bank stabilization, and sediment and nutrient removal. Other values include open space, education, and economic benefits, such as those from hunting, fishing, and bird watching.

(The training) gave me more courage to do what I want in life and not be afraid.
I have never felt 100% comfortable with public speaking and this has laid a foundation for me to not just feel more comfortable, but excel.
I enjoyed the presentation because it was really tailored to our culture and responded to our needs.
[Allegory] has re-energized my way of presenting, scratch that, my way of talking with people.
Forced me to look outside the box through out the day and see that there "are" good ways to engage people and deliver crisp messages.
It really opened my eyes on how I shape conversation and communicate with others.
(I liked) everything – I love that someone is telling people to just be themselves – it's so much easier to connect.
The exercises were great. Doing is so much better than hearing & seeing.
I love the stories and how they connected to communication...This is the best seminar I've ever been to!
I walked away with things I can start doing immediately.
I expected to learn just how to present, not how to think about why I am who I am.
First time I've ever felt good about speaking to an audience.
Energetic, personal speaker (Christina) who got the group involved…physically, mentally, emotional. Created situations to illustrate her points effectively.
Allegory training has taught us to sync our communications, align expectations better, and breakdown uncomfortable barriers.
Allegory gives tactical advice that changes how people act. I've never seen training succeed in doing this before and it happens in Allegory trainings in minutes..
Christina and her team have a curious energy that brings a passionate perspective to group dynamics, speaking, and ultimately leadership.
Dynamic, engaging, informative. Best session I've sat in 2 years w/ Yelp.
I liked how applicable everything we learned is. The interactivity helped me remember most of what was covered.

2.16: Pie Charts
Have you ever looked at a circle graph? Do you know that you can learn a lot from circle graphs?
Alex and Tania have had a wonderful time planting and growing vegetables in their garden. They have learned a lot and have been keeping track of all of the vegetables that they have grown all summer long. They have collected a total of 400 vegetables. Not bad for their first attempt at a garden. They did not have much luck with the vegetable stand though. They found that because they gave so many vegetables away to their workers, that there wasn't very much to sell in the end.
"Next year, we want to double our production," said Alex to his sister.
"That's a good idea. I made a circle graph showing our results from this year," Tania handed a copy of the circle graph to Alex as she left the room.
Alex looked at the graph. It clearly shows all of the categories of vegetables that they grew with percentages next to them. Alex can't seem to make heads or tails of all of the information. Here is the graph.
Alex looks back at the data again.
Total vegetables = 400
Carrots = 120
Tomatoes = 80
Zucchini = 60
Squash = 100
Potatoes = 40
What conclusions can Alex make by looking at the circle graph? Can he make any predictions? To understand this, you will need to know how to read a circle graph.
Like bar graphs, line graphs, and other data displays, circle graphs are a visual representation of data.
In particular, we use circle graphs to show the relationships between a whole and its parts. The whole might be a total number of people or items. It can also be decimals that add up to 1. Decimals are related to percentages, they are both parts of a whole. We haven't learned about percentages yet, but we can still use them if we think of them as parts of a whole. A circle graph will often show percents that add up to 100 percent.
Take a look at the circle graph below. It shows which pets the students in the sixth grade have.
In order to interpret circle graphs, we first need to understand what "whole" and "pieces" it represents. We can gather this information from the graph's title and the labels of the pieces.
Think about the graph above.
Each section is labeled according to a percentage. Each percentage is a part of a whole. The whole is the whole class or 100% of the students. Here we have the numbers for who has what kind of pet. The largest group would have the greatest percentage. In this case, dogs are the most popular pet with 40% of the kids in the sixth grade having them. The smallest group would have the smallest percentage. In this case, there are two groups that are the smallest or the least popular. In this circle graph, rabbits and birds are the smallest group. Since this is a graph about popularity, we can say that the least popular pets are rabbits and birds. The most popular pet is a dog.
We have seen that circle graphs display data so that we can make generalizations about different components of the data. They make it easy for us to interpret and analyze data. We can also use circle graphs to make predictions.
In the last example, the circle graph showed us which kind of movies were most popular (comedy) and which were least popular (horror). This information helps us understand the likelihood that other people will choose the same categories. Suppose, for instance, that a student was absent from the class when the poll was taken to see which kind of movie the students preferred. Can we make any assumptions about which category the absent student might choose?
Because most of the students selected comedy as their favorite type of movie, it would be more likely that the absent student would also choose comedy. We could be wrong too. Remember a prediction is made based on an assumption or pattern but it is not an exact answer.
Now let's practice by using the circle graph shown above to answer questions.
Example A
Which type of movie is the most popular?
Solution: Comedy
Example B
Which is the least popular?
Solution: Horror
Example C
What percentage of students would choose a romance movie?
Solution: 15%
Remember Alex and the circle graph? Now back to the original problem.
"Next year, we want to double our production," said Alex to his sister.
"That's a good idea. I made a circle graph showing our results from this year," Tania handed a copy of the circle graph to Alex as she left the room.
Alex looked at the graph. It clearly shows all of the categories of vegetables that they grew with percentages next to them.
Here is the graph.
Alex looks back at the data again.
Total vegetables = 400
Squash = 100
Zuchini = 60
Potatoes = 40
Carrots = 120
Tomatoes = 80
To help Alex, the first thing that we need to do is to underline all of the important information.
Next, we can draw some conclusions about the data to help Alex make sense of the graph. Let's look at a few questions to help us make sense of the vegetable growth.
What is the largest group of vegetables grown?
- According to the graph, the carrots were the largest group grown.
If they were to double production next year, how many of each type of vegetable would be grown?
- Carrots = 120 to 240, tomatoes = 80 to 160, zucchini = 60 to 120, squash = 100 to 200, potatoes = 40 to 80.
Which vegetable was the smallest group?
- The smallest group is potatoes.
Alex and Tania can look at two things as they work to increase vegetable growth. Our graph doesn't tell us why they only grew 40 potatoes. They can analyze whether insects hurt their crop or whether or not they planted enough. The circle graph gives them a great starting point for future planning.
Here are the vocabulary words in this Concept.
- Circle graph
- a visual display of data that uses percentages and circles.
- Decimals
- a part of a whole represented by a decimal point.
- Percentages
- a part of a whole written out of 100 using a % sign
- Predictions
- to examine data and decide future events based on trends.
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
Look at this graph and answer the following questions.
Based on the graph, what is the most popular student activity? If 55% of the students have this as their favorite activity, what percent of the students don't have sports as their favorite activity?
If you look at the graph, the largest section of the graph is 55% which is sports. Sports is the most popular activity.
If 55% of the students chose sports, then 45% did not choose it as their favorite activity.

What's New
From Global Warming Art
This page documents new content and events related to Global Warming Art.
February 2009
After a long break, I am going to to try and get back in the habit of expanding and developing this site.
Image updates
Instrumental Temperature Record.png, Global Warming Map.jpg, and Mauna Loa Carbon Dioxide.png are updated through 2008.
New Wikipedia Architecture
For some time I've engaged in a limited experiment of Wikipedia Mirroring, that required manually copying a set of climate related pages onto this site. I've now replaced that with a automated process that copies a much larger subset of Wikipedia's pages on climate and climate change. The goal is create a specialized searchable archive, and add in locating additional free content useful to the discussion of climate change.
Licensing update
I have significantly updated Global Warming Art License and associated pages to expand and clarify the rights granted to reusers.

Tea Party DOA: Only Dozens Attended Washington DC Tax Day Protests
By: Sarah JonesApr. 16th, 2013
On Freedom Works website, they announced that 1,000s were expected to their New Fair Deal protest at the U.S. Capitol on Tax Day (April 15th), which would be the next phase of the Freedom Movement. They hyped it as their Get Out the Vote machine. They had a slew of Republican representatives speaking as bait.
The next phase of the freedom movement might be dead on arrival, as only dozens attending according to NBC News:
Yesterday, Tea Party groups held events tied to this years Tax Day. The group FreedomWorks, for example, organized an action day at the U.S. Capitol (which took place before the Boston bombings).
But judged by its sparse attendance dozens, not thousands, attended the FreedomWorks rally the Tea Party is no longer a national force shaking American politics, although it has continued to influence todays Republican Party.
On Freedom Works connection site, they promoted car pools and bus rides, along side a lonely announcement of the three RSVPs, Mrs. **** **** and 2 other people are attending The New Fair Deal Action Day in Washington, DC.
Scheduled to speak at much-hyped The New Fair Deal protest were Republican Representatives Mick Mulvaney, Mike Pompeo, Tom Price, and Justin Amash, along with Dan Bongino, Deneen Borelli, CL Bryant, Julie Borowski, Ana Puig, and Adam Brandon. They had almost as many speakers as attendees.
Heres the PR push from Freedom Works:
Senator Mike Lee (UT) was officially added to the speakers agenda for The New Fair Deal Action Day, where he will address over 1,000 FreedomWorks activists at the US Capitol to launch The New Fair Deal. The New Fair Deal is a bold legislative package that addresses four main concerns of grassroots activists across the country: ending corporate handouts, crafting a flatter tax code, passing real spending reform, and empowering individuals with the choice to opt out of government-run entitlement programs.
Senator Lee will share the stage with Rep. Justin Amash, Rep. Mick Mulvaney, Rep. Mike Pompeo, Rep. Tom Price, Reverend C.L Bryant, Deneen Borelli, Dan Bongino, Julie Borowski and Ana Puig. Following the speeches, activists will split up and visit targeted Congressional offices to urge Members to support the bills and The New Fair Deal agenda.Apparently Freedom Works/Tea Party has surrendered the pretense of being separate from the Republican Party. Thats probably for the best, since Matt Kibbe is the president and CEO of Freedom Works, and he is a former staffer for the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Freedom Works runs boot camps for supporters of Republican candidates. Back when Freedom Works was Citizens for a Sound Economy, they used totrick people into signing up as members by selling them insurance policies that required their membership.
WHEN: Tax Day, Monday April 15th, 2013 from 12:00-3:00pm ET.
WHERE: Upper Senate Park of the US Capitol. The event will be live tweeted at the hashtag #NFD.
WHY: The New Fair Deal Action Day is much more than just another rally. Activists will gather at Upper Senate Park to listen to the speaker lineup, and then branch out into groups afterwards to head up to the hill and urge Members of Congress to support the NFD legislative agenda. Its ideas put into action.
The New Fair Deal is the next phase of the Freedom Movement. What began as a series of protest rallies has evolved into a Get out the Vote machine, and now moves forward as a grassroots-fueled effort to work with 11 Congressmen to write legislation and put real solutions on the table. Its the proactive, uniting and principled agenda that the RNCs Growth and Opportunity Project has been looking for.
Freedom Works goal with the new legislation is allegedly getting the debt under control and ending big governments collusion with big business. This is an irony, since Freedom Works embodies governments collusion with big business, having been established by David H. Koch (of Koch Industries) himself in 1984. After much poking around on their site, I found an explanation of just which big businesses they oppose, and its not big oil, one of the largest beneficiaries of subsidies, but rather green energy and high-speed rail. They are, of course, pushing Keystone XL.
Maybe the fact that they arent really taking aim at the source of governments collusion with big business is the reason Freedom Works didnt deem it necessary to release the actual legislation until the protesters were already at the event.
1. The first, introduced by Rep. Mick Mulvaney (SC-5) is the New Fair Deal: Consolidating and Eliminating Outdated Subsidies (CEOs) Act. This bill would eliminate many direct federal subsidies, such as the infamous sugar subsidy and high-speed rail.
2. The second bill is the New Fair Deal: Busting Americas Rigid, Outdated, and Needless Subsidies (BARONS) Act, introduced by Rep. Mike Pompeo (KS-4). This bill would eliminate many federal credits and subsidies which favor selected companies and industries through the tax code. The bill primarily targets energy companies which recieve taxpayer dollars to develop special fuels and green energy.
Still, only dozens attended. Perhaps now the Tea Party can go back to being what it once was, long before it got co-opted by the greedy corporatists behind Freedom Works, who find their most natural habitat within the Republican Party. Its too bad the Tea Party wasnt what it claimed to be, because we could use a real movement to cut the puppet strings with which big money and big business operate our legislators.
*Sniff* Rest in peace Tea Party!

Hello all,
I'm in a huge jam with this problem. We're running Zimbra NE 7.1.3 on Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit.
Yesterday i got to the customer's site and shut down the ZCS to install a new psu, case fan and cpu fan. When it was rebooted the entire ZCS environment reverted to Dec. 2011. Including all emails. And of course since this is the NE, the back up for it also caught all the new/old dates.
/opt/zimbra is on it's own drive on a reiserfs.
What else can I look at to recover the 1 1/2 years of missing mail?


text:
I use Zimbra with satisfaction for several years and have always used mobile devices like iphone, ipad etc..
However, every now and then, I have problems with synchronization of contacts.
If I insert contacts from Iphone are not synchronized on Zimbra and vice versa.
If reconfigured on the general settings of the iphone zimbra account fixes the problem to reappear after some time.
Has it ever happened?
How do I find a solution?
I'm experiencing the same problem on:
Zimbra 7, 8 Zimbra

* Tissue Paper Pulp "Painting" (or making paper without the mess!)
11 comments:
- Jess said...
Is there a way to tell at time of purchase whether or not tissue paper will bleed? I assumed that all tissue paper bled. I've been enjoying your blog since we were in the January Playful Learning course together.

Jess - I think the no bleed tissue is actually marked "no bleed" usually at art supply stores or online from a place like discount school supply...mine was from the craft store in the gift wrap area. I think the gift wrap tissue is almost always the kind that bleeds!
: ) Hope this helps!

I do pulp painting with my 6th grade students. I have them do pictures from nature. We do the pictures on burlap that has been taped to a large square of scrap cardboard. I get the cardboard from a local bike shop! They just throw away the large boxes the bikes come in.
We use nacho trays to mix the tissue with water. I have done this for three years now and find that if they use one color at a time and tear it all up first and soak it that they can rip it into very fine pieces that ends up like a slurry in the water.
- January 29, 2013 at 3:22 PM
Oh and yes, it does say right on the package "no bleed" or "non-bleeding" tissue paper.

|Handing over the reins
|Written by Chris Lee
After nearly 33 years, 25 of which he has been in the driver's seat, John Schneider will retire from Bank of the West on Thursday, Aug. 6. Brian Gales will take over as president/branch manager the following day.
Schneider got his start with banking in Lodgepole, Neb. working for First State Bank as the vice president. After five years, he made the move to the Hilltop National Bank in Casper, Wyo. where he served as an internal auditor for one year.
Schneider recalled the change was a big one moving from the Lodgepole bank where he worked with four employees to the 30 employees in Casper.
In 1976 a group of investors purchased the First National Bank of Holyoke from the Heginbotham Trust. One of the investors knew Schneider from his time in Nebraska and asked him to join the bank in Holyoke. Schneider served as the vice president from 1977-1984 and took over as president in 1984.
He didn't know what path he would take growing up. While taking some general college courses he obtained his insurance license. While living in eastern Nebraska, he saw an advertisement in the Omaha World Herald for the bank in Lodgepole for someone who was capable of selling insurance and would also work in the bank, so he applied for the job.
"If it hadn't been for my insurance license, I probably wouldn't have gotten the job," he said. He also had obtained his real estate license for the state of Nebraska.
Over the years, Schneider says he has been through roughly seven ownership changes and had somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 bosses.
Schneider says one of his more memorable moments was when the bank celebrated its centennial in 1998. He said being in Holyoke and at the bank for so long, he almost feels he grew up with the bank.
"It's been very rewarding and a great opportunity," he said. "I've been blessed with dedicated, loyal and great employees."
Schneider wishes nothing but the best for Gales and hopes to see the bank continue to grow and prosper.
"The good Lord blessed me with 32 and a half years here and I owe it to the man," Schneider said.
He said he would like to continue helping the community and its members by giving back a little bit. Helping out community members and customers with community service is a big part of Schneider's plan after retiring.
"They're customers but they're also friends," Schneider said.
He and his wife Lynn, who teaches third grade, will stay in Holyoke. Their daughter Rachel will be a freshman this fall.
Schneider has two other children. Daughter Christie and husband Eric Stein live in Ft. Collins with their two sons. Schneider's son Chad also lives in Ft. Collins.
When Schneider first moved to Holyoke he was a member of the local Jaycees. He also has served on the chamber of commerce, is active in the Baptist Church and is active in the Gideons.
"I've been blessed with a good job, good family, good employees and good customers," Schneider said.
Schneider picked Aug. 6 as his day to retire because he also will turn 60 on that day. Friends and family are encouraged to stop by the bank to help him celebrate both occasions.

I'm looking for the name of a romantic film about an out-of-towner staying in, I think, a hotel. The two of them don't speak the same language but fall in love. At the end of the movie he tracks her down at her family's restaurant. I've seen it once or twice but can't remember the title.
What is the name of this film?

Everyone Can Join the Fight Against PD
My name is Kate DeWitte and I am a senior in high school. My father has Parkinson's so it is very close to my heart. For my Senior Project, I have been raising PD awareness and also raised $1,500 for PDF, all of which will be matched through the Light of Day Foundation Challenge -- and if you donate now, your gift will be matched too!
Kids Can Make a Difference Too
My father was diagnosed in 2005 just before my 10th birthday. PD is a subject that is difficult to understand, and very hard on a family. When I started to see the progression of Parkinson's disease in my dad, I wished there was another kid just like me who understood what it felt like to go through the same thing.
So when I was asked to create a year-long school project that was "community enhancing," I chose Parkinson's awareness.
I worked to educate my classmates about Parkinson's through presentations and an awareness billboard. I fundraised by selling handmade snowflakes in the winter, organizing Zumba classes and hosting a bake sale.
I hope that these small efforts have helped to educate others about PD, and I know that the $1,500 raised will turn into $3,000 because of the Light of Day Foundation Challenge (which has now raised $79,320.50).
Will you make a difference by donating by Tuesday, April 30? Your gift too will be matched.
Thank you for making a donation that will help fund educational programs and research. Kids can make a difference too!

Calling Ahead
Bandwidth has something wireless giants don't — cellphones that make calls over the Internet.
By Laura Baverman
His cycling team was only a few hours into its cross-country race when a squad of eight riders pulled alongside them. David Morken was leading a group of four amateurs in Race Across America, a 3,000-mile trek from Oceanside, Calif., to Annapolis, Md. The octet consisted of pros competing in a different division of the same event. Morken turned to his friend and business partner John Murdock and issued a challenge: Let's ditch the old strategy and stay up all night competing against some of the fastest riders in the world for as long as possible. "We had no idea if we'd even survive," Murdock says. "But we took the risk." Morken's men eventually tired and were passed — but not before building a two-hour lead on the rest of the amateurs. That was enough to win their division five days later.
Taking risks isn't rare for Morken, 44. He proposed to his wife, Chrishelle, 27 days after they met. He started Bandwidth.com Inc. fresh out of the Marines, with little savings and a pregnant wife. Those gambles paid off. Raleigh-based Bandwidth will rake in $100 million of revenue this year, and he and Chrishelle are still hitched and have six children. But not all his risks reap rewards. Two years ago, he attempted to swim the English Channel, something fewer people tackle in a year, on average, than try to climb Mount Everest in a day. He trained for months, planning his daily schedule around two long swims. But four hours of battling crashing waves and 58-degree water was too much. He became hypothermic and had to be rescued.
The experience did nothing to dampen his daring. Bandwidth recently entered the cellphone market by launching Republic Wireless, challenging the dominance of industry giants such as Dallas-based AT&T Inc., New York-based Verizon Communications Inc. and Overland Park, Kan.-based Sprint Corp. — a task many have tried. Few have triumphed. But Bandwidth invested five years of research, millions of dollars and nearly half of its 340 employees to create and launch Republic because it believes it has an edge: It's the first to offer cellphones that make calls over wireless Internet — or Wi-Fi — networks, drastically reducing the cost of service.
"He's one of the most impressive people I've met in the industry," says Blair Levin, a Bandwidth investor, former Federal Communications Commission chief of staff and fellow at the Aspen Institute, a Washington, D.C., think tank. "I'm very impressed by the way David and his team have looked honestly at the challenges and tried to make the experience better for consumers." If the possibilities of this new technology are large, however, so have been the problems. In February, The Wall Street Journal called Republic "mediocre," lamenting dated technology, dropped calls and lackluster customer service. "Nobody gets it right on the first try," Levin says, "but they are getting better each time." They had better, or Republic could sink rather than swim.
Morken was born in Los Angeles to a family that liked to climb — by the age of 18, he had reached the tops of all the Tetons, a range of the Rocky Mountains along the Wyoming-Idaho border. The Morkens moved to New York and then Oklahoma following his father, a professor of government. After graduating from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla., with a bachelor's in government, he joined the Marine Corps Reserve and attended Notre Dame Law School. By the time he left South Bend, Ind., in 1994, he was fascinated with the Internet, which had just started to be used for commercial means. He created efiling.com, an online tax service, but had to shut it down after 18 months when he was called up for active duty. While serving as a prosecutor in the Judge Advocate General's Corps at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii, he began competing in Ironman events — but his interest in the Internet never waned.
In 1999, he moved his household into his parents' duplex in Park City, Utah. He had an idea for an Internet company, and his wife gave him 90 days to make a go of it. The plan was to create a matchmaker between businesses and broadband providers, collecting a 2% commission on each connection. "I recognized that any business that wanted Internet access at their address had to call half a dozen salespeople, have long conversations and then receive their proposals. There was no price transparency. You couldn't understand what was available and what it would cost."
Bandwidth started with no marketing or sales staff, but the company name led people to its website. He had business almost from the beginning, and three months in — after discovering that if he managed installation, billing and customer service, he could earn up to 24% of a deal — he hired five customer-service representatives, adding staff as sales climbed. Though Bandwidth generated $1 million of revenue that first year, Morken realized he was in over his head. "We had to learn on the job every aspect of the business or we would sink."
Though he received offers from prospective buyers — $1 million early on and larger ones later — he wanted a partner who could guide him through the growth. One day, after a story about Bandwidth appeared in Forbes, Morken fielded a call from a Chapel Hill man. Henry Kaestner had recently sold Chapel Hill Brokers Inc., an energy brokerage that handled $50 million of daily transactions, for an undisclosed amount. He had money to invest and ambition to enter broadband. Morken figured Kaestner's experience and connections would give him the operational support he needed. Plus, they shared a strong religious bond. "I knew just like when I saw my wife for the first time," Morken says. "This is a guy I'd love to be partners with in business."
Kaestner's dad, Morken's college roommate and friends and family invested in the business. Park City was never meant to be a permanent home, so Morken moved his family to Chapel Hill in 2001 to be closer to Kaestner and tap the region's technology workforce. They set up shop in Cary. The next decade was a blur. In 2003, the company became a broker of voice-over-Internet protocol software, which allows businesses to make telephone calls over Internet connections, eliminating the need for a landline, and sold it on behalf of companies such as AT&T, Sprint and Verizon, collecting a commission. Revenue reached $25 million. Bandwidth registered with the Federal Communications Commission as a competitive local exchange carrier four years later, a process that required licenses in all 50 states and the acquisition of 25,000 high-capacity IP circuits. The move cost about $50 million but allowed Bandwidth to assign phone numbers and route calls, meaning it could sell its own VoIP service. All told, Bandwidth has assigned 35 million phone numbers, including those issued by Google Voice and Skype, which allow free computer-to-phone calling.
As each of his kids entered middle school, Morken made them a promise: Earn straight A's, and you'll get a cellphone. One by one, they brought home perfect report cards. By the fourth child, around 2008, Morken's monthly AT&T bill was approaching $900. "Simultaneously, I was getting faster and better Wi-Fi from the cable company at home and at the office. I thought, 'Why in the world do I have to pay full price for cellular when most of my family is around Wi-Fi most of the time? How come I can't make a Wi-Fi call that uses that network?'"
He asked a small team at Bandwidth to study companies that had tried to enter the wireless market. A slew of mobile virtual network operators — wireless providers that don't own networks — had leased bandwidth from U.S. carriers in the middle of the last decade, offering prepaid phone service on no-frills or branded phones. The cheaper offerings didn't include roaming, resulting in poor call quality. ESPN and Disney promised exclusive sports or kids features but charged for their phones rather than offering them free or subsidized with a contract. Both failed.
Morken's team decided those services offered users no enticement — no product differentiation. Wi-Fi would be Republic's chance to distinguish itself from the crowd. In theory, its handsets would make calls over wireless networks and provide Internet browsing and text messaging. If Wi-Fi wasn't available, which happens 40% of the time, the phone would connect to a cellular network. The team contacted handset manufacturers to help develop the phone but got the cold shoulder — no one had heard of Bandwidth. So they re-engineered a low-end handset and its operating system, which software developers manipulate to add functionality to mobile devices. (They used the Android operating system because it's offered free by Mountain View, Calif.-based Google Inc.) At first, they developed a mobile application that could make Wi-Fi calls but eventually rigged the device to make both Wi-Fi and cellular calling native. Bandwidth contracted with Sprint for cell service.
Republic could offer the phone service cheaper than other carriers because Wi-Fi is available in many homes and free in a lot of public places. And because Bandwidth is a competitive local exchange carrier, Republic could issue phone numbers and place calls, so it wouldn't have to pass along lease fees to customers. Morken and the research-and-development team braced themselves during the beta test, in which a limited number of phones were sold online in November 2011. The phones sold out, and the reviews were positive. Almost immediately after seeing them, handset manufacturers wanted in. "There was a great debate internally about how it would do, from predictions we'd sell a handful of handsets to 'This will really go viral,'" says Murdock, the company president. "We tapped into a real groundswell, and David gets all the credit in the world for driving it. If you'd pulled David out of that, it wouldn't have happened."
A partnership with Libertyville, Ill.-based Motorola Mobility Inc., owned by Google, allowed Republic to develop a second generation of the phone in just nine months, and Republic began selling them through its website last November. Morken expected about 1,000 takers on the first night. More than 100,000 signed up for the service, offered at $19 per month with no contract. "The technology market is all about timing," says Greg Woock, a former executive with Palm Inc., which developed PalmPilots in the late '90s, and current CEO of San Jose, Calif.-based Pinger Inc., a free text- and voice-messaging service and Bandwidth customer. "What is super clear to anyone who knows the market is that at some point, you're just going to have a data connection. While most operators have been struggling to not be a dumb pipe, David seems more interested in being a smart pipe." (Dumb pipes refer to network operators that can only transfer bytes between the Internet and a customer's device, while a smart-pipe operator adds value beyond network speed and data exchange.)
Early results proved there was a market for the service, but it also put Republic in a precarious situation. Analysts were intrigued by the innovation and cost but found plenty of problems. Chiefly, Republic's Android software was antiquated and dropped calls when a user moved out of a Wi-Fi zone and into a cellular one. "I like what they are doing, but for customers that switch to Republic, it's not going to be a transparent change," says Jeff Kagan, an Atlanta-based telecommunications analyst. "Customers will have a choice of what is more important to them. If it's price, Republic fits the mold. But if it's quality and reliability, it won't be Republic."
Morken says his plan is working. Republic now has teams of people focused on marketing and programming, customer service and account management. The division is profitable and will bring in a projected $40 million of Bandwidth's revenue this year. This fall, it will address many of those early concerns with new handsets that rival the latest iPhone and Android devices in functionality and features. The phones, again developed with Motorola, will be sold on Republic's website. They will be offered at different price points — the basic phone costs $199 — but still well below the going rate for unlimited Internet, voice and text, Morken says. "I believe it's a breakthrough experience and one that will more than answer the requests customers have made."
On a June day, a dozen or so Bandwidth staffers traipsed in after lunchtime, wet with sweat from a game of ultimate Frisbee. Along with most of the staff, they are participants in a monthly challenge to log 20 or more hours of fitness activity. Morken started the campaign after being inspired by two Bandwidth staffers who in July raced the TransRockies Challenge, a weeklong mountain-bike race in British Columbia. This is the first year since 2002 that Morken hasn't participated in an extreme adventure. "I've moved from the actor on a stage to producer or director. I've got these young guys so capable and hungry. I'm super excited about giving them this opportunity to encourage the whole company."
Then again, he's not done competing. Take the English Channel. Morken says he'll try again to swim it. But he isn't convinced that preparation and prowess alone will help him conquer it — or the wireless industry. "When you're doing new stuff that involves lots of risk, faith provides a bridge during an uncertain present to a bright future. We do so much that is driven by data, but we do so much that is aspirational, and you've got to have great faith not just in your colleagues but in your creator."

$util.date("MMMM d, yyyy",$topLevel.timeZone)
North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue has confirmed she is not seeking reelection.
Perdue released this statement shortly after noon Thursday.
"Like the rest of the nation, North Carolina has been facing difficult economic times -- demanding many difficult decisions. I have had to make painful budget cuts in important areas of government. But I believe I have approached this challenge in a way that is consistent with my values and the values that have made our state a wonderful place to live and raise a family. I have spent my tenure in office - and, in fact, my adult lifetime - fighting for things that I care deeply about. And as anyone who knows me will tell you, I do not back down from tough fights.
But I understand this: We live in highly partisan times, where some people seem more worried about scoring political points than working together to address the real challenges our state faces. And it is clear to me that my race for re-election will only further politicize the fight to adequately fund our schools. A re-election campaign in this already divisive environment will make it more difficult to find any bipartisan solutions.
The thing I care about most right now is making sure that our schools and schoolchildren do not continue to be the victims of shortsighted legislative actions and severe budget cuts inflicted by a legislative majority with the wrong priorities. Therefore, I am announcing today that I have decided not to seek re-election. I hope this decision will open the door to an honest and bipartisan effort to help our schools.
To those of you who have supported me throughout my years of public service, I will always be grateful for the confidence you have placed in me. In my remaining months in office, I look forward to continuing to fight for the priorities we share, by putting North Carolinians back to work and investing in our children's future. To my children and grandchildren, and especially to my husband Bob, thank you for always being there for me - especially as I've weighed this difficult decision.
Thank you all, and God bless North Carolina."
Previous Story:
A Democratic official says North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue will not seek re-election.
Perdue, the first woman elected governor in North Carolina history, was facing a hard fight for a second term. That included a possible rematch against former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory.
In 2008, Perdue narrowly defeated McCrory in North Carolina's closest gubernatorial contest since 1972, thanks partly to Barack Obama's surprise win in the state.
The Democratic official spoke on condition of anonymity because Perdue was expected to make a formal announcement later Thursday.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers fans are expressing disappointment, sadness and disgust that MVP Ryan Braun has been suspended for violating baseball's drug program.
Dave Simono, of New Berlin, says he believed Braun was telling the truth when he denied taking performance-enhancing drugs last year. Simono says now he just feels disgusted.
The Brewers slugger accepted a 65-game suspension Monday after dodging a penalty last year when an arbitrator overturned his positive drug test.
Jeff Fischbach was driving to Miller Park Monday night in his Ryan Braun T-shirt when he heard the news. He called his friend and asked him to bring duct tape to the ballpark. The Journal Sentinel says Fischbach used the tape to mark an "X" over Braun's number on his T-shirt, tape over all-star's name and write "Liar" on the tape.

Russia:Flight 370 was hijacked to Afghan region of Kandahar
Newscast Media MOSCOW—A Russian newspaper said that Malaysia Airlines Flight
MH370 is in Kandahar Province, located in Afghanistan near the border with Pakistan,

She lent grace and understanding to her portrayal as Lena, the prissy sister of basketball star Monica (Lathan) in Gina Prince-Bythewood's "Love and Basketball" in 2000, the same year she took her comedic abilities to over-the-top heights as a very vocal victim of a serial slasher in the spoof "Scary Movie".

It's more than just Hip Hop around these parts. With the genre itself including so many influences within its evolving sound, venturing beyond Rap borders is both necessary and enlightening. The HipHopDX staff had some favorites in 2012 that moved past Hip Hop, and we felt like we should share them with our readers. Some you may have heard of, some Hip Hop artists actually worked with/sampled, but if they're new to you then they're worth checking out.
BJ The Chicago Kid
There are two must-have digital releases from 2012: Ab-Soul's #controlsystem and BJ The Chicago Kid's Pineapple Now-Laters. They're not that different in theory either, as both artists - who roll in the same circles, bring a free-form creativity and respect for their predecessor to genres that often feel stagnated with redundant over-saturation. Motown Records' hopeful BJ cut his teeth working with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, TiRon and Freddie Gibbs, but on his own debut project, he presents himself as a soulful visionary that can channel the classics and defy convention at the same damn time. "Dream II" provides an inspirational textbook to the distraught, while "Sex Is The Best Breakfast" encourages lovers to reconsider Cheerios. BJ bridges the gap in the new movements in Hip Hop and R&B, and I think he has a lot more depth and resonance than some of his melancholic peers. - Jake Paine, Editor-In-Chief (@Citizen__Paine)
Ellie Goulding
Ellie Goulding is a unique case in music, where the "better late than never" mantra applies. Ellie's debut album Lights arrived in 2010, but didn't gain its sea legs until the following year (and this year as well) when the title track shot up the Billboard charts. Ellie returned with her follow-up album Halcyon, and the music spoke for itself. After covering The Weeknd's "High For This" and Active Child's "Hanging On" Ellie paved the way for her stellar original tracks like "My Blood," "Don't Say a Word," and of course "Anything Could Happen," which is the flagship track for the Beats By Dre promo campaign. Ellie's boldness in lyric and sound is something that will be celebrated for years to come, and while even Hip Hop is slowly inviting her into the fold (she was rumored early on to be appearing on G.O.O.D. Music's Cruel Summer), there really is nowhere to go but up for an artist like Ellie Goulding. As for the UK siren's plans for 2013? Well, anything could happen. - Kathy Iandoli, Music Editor (@Kath3000)
Flying Lotus
Flying Lotus has always been around mainstream Hip Hop's fringes, never appearing too interested in joining the party. He'll randomly direct an Erykah Badu video (thankfully not the Flaming Lips one with her doppelganger butt naked in a tub of blood), or assist on something with the likes of Thundercat. He has his lane, and unless you're specifically checking for him, you may miss him altogether. That's unfortunate, because it's rare to see someone blend Thom Yorke vocals, 8-bit Nintendo sounds and creative instrumentation together so seamlessly. Figuring out how to classify his Until The Quiet Comes album is harder than deciphering what Ghostface was saying on half of "Nutmeg." There are times when the album sounds like one, long, hallucinogenic drug trip—which obviously appeals to those who gravitate toward eclectic excellence such as Sa-Ra Creative Partners. But even if you're more straight-laced, give it a try, because you'll probably be surprised at how much you enjoy it. - Omar Burgess, Editor-At-Large (@OmarBurgess)
Michael Kiwanuka
Michael Kiwanuka was swept into mainstream consciousness earlier this year after bubbling under in his native England. After releasing his breakout Tell Me a Tale EP in April 2011, the 24-year-old soul stirrer nabbed a coveted supporting slot on Adele's tour, but hit the mark when BBC named him its Sound of 2012 winner. This past July, Kiwanuka dropped his full-length debut Home Again, an album that transcended his pot of cool points and backed the hype. With shades of blues and acoustic beach rock, the LP is rich in musical sensibility – songs like the muscle relaxant "I'm Getting Ready" and "Bones" would fit comfortably on a decades-old jukebox. While co-signs from Jay-Z and John Mayer are gratifying, Kiwanuka upped the retro game by boldly proving that he's got soul – and an old one at that. - Steven Horowitz, News Editor (@SPeriod)
Gaslamp Killer
2012 was all about Brainfeeder. With releases from Lapalux, Gonjasufi and label boss Flying Lotus, the Brainfeeder crew continued to make the albums they share shelf-space with sound sterile, thin and safe. But perhaps the strongest release of the bunch was Breakthrough from The Gaslamp Killer, the roster's most carefree and conventional (a relative statement when the label is Brainfeeder) artist. Breakthrough is a deceiving title since there has been a growing fanbase following The Gaslamp Killer's releases since 2007 but for those new to his chopped drums and samples from the crate blended seamlessly with original instrumentation made up of deep synth pads, digital blips and ethnic instruments, Breakthrough is the perfect starting point. In the same way that DJ Shadow's Endtroducing and RJD2's Deadringer felt cohesive and cinematic despite being made up of sounds loaded into an MPC, Breakthrough possesses the same range, switching from found voice mails used as skits to sinister intergalactic funk. - Michael Sheehan, Production Assistant/Contributor

Genre: Drama, Foreign
A drama centering upon the friendship between Yuji and Mamoru, two angry young men working in a plant that processes oshibori--the wet hand towels found in restaurants and fast food joints. Both are anti-social loners with short fuses. Yuji worships the older, enigmatic Mamoru, who lives with a red jellyfish that is hauntingly luminous and fatally poisonous. Mamoru shows him how to care for the creature, which swims alone in its tank, waving its tentacles with deceptive gentleness. When Mamoru and Yuji's irritatingly self-absorbed boss visits Mamoru's apartment and playfully sticks his hand in the tank, Mamoru does not warn him that the fish is deadly. When the boss learns that the fish coul...

Ikea, Starbucks, Whole Foods, Boeing Lead Charge in Corporate Wellness Campaigns
Times are tough and a lot of companies are trying to cut back on costs. Less benefits, less hours, no healthcare, no bonuses, and more have become the norm, but that hasn't stopped a large handful of companies from doing everything they can to provide corporate fitness benefits.
Ikea recently had 12,400 custom bicycles made as Christmas gifts for their U.S. employees. The bikes (which are silver with blue, yellow and white stripes- Ikea's colors) served as a 'thank you' for a great year and also a reminder that an active lifestyle is key to a happy life. Employees were pleasantly surprised and it encouraged some who weren't previously bicyclists to take up the healthy hobby. Ikea might be wow-ing us with their thoughtful and creative gifts, but they aren't the only company to take ethical responsibility for the health crisis we are in.

Summary:Aaron Cross is one of six agents in a program called Outcome. Unlike the CIA's Treadstone, Outcome agents have been developed and trained for use by the Department of Defense. More than assassins, Outcome agents are designed for use in isolated, high-risk, long-term intelligence assignments. The behavioral science that was suggested as the underpinning of the Treadstone agents has been upgraded and advanced, but it's the shared origins of these two programs that makes Outcome so vulnerable as Bourne's story becomes public knowledge.

BEIRUT (AP) -- Anti-regime activists say Syrian forces have killed at least 23 people in a restive suburb of the capital Damascus.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 18 civilians were killed in an airstrike Tuesday on the city of Duma, northeast of Damascus. Five other rebel fighters were killed in clashes with regime forces nearby.
Syrian forces have stepped up their use of airpower against rebels seeking to topple President Bashar Assad as opposition fighters have made gains on the ground.
Activist say more than 35,000 people have been killed since Syria's troubles began in March, 2011.

Hello every Request-takers... (sounds strange lol)
I'm a not a writer, saying the opposite would be a lie. However, I do have some stories to tell, stories about a fantasy world. This is where I have a small problem, I can't draw the map of the world in question. I made an attempt shown below but I was not satisfied.
This is why I ask for your help. I know this is a very big and long project (I believe) and except for the challenge/experience, there is no real benefit. However, I believe it is a good opportunity to test stuff and to practice your skills. If you are up for the challenge, continue reading!
You will design a whole Earth-like planet, with a 30-70 land-water ratio. You choose the layout of the continents and islands, you also choose the number of continents/islands. This is somewhat carte blanche. They are few restrictions, this is why I included the hexa map (is this the right name?). Each letter is a country except for F (a big desert) and N (A no man's land present on my attempt). Except for N, every letter (country) need to be there. You can place them everywhere following those intructions:
-Every countries are about the same size (see my attempt)
-Only C, G and L must be adjacent to F (Desert)
-F is the only "easy" access to L
-A must be on its own island/continent near the north pole. It must be somewhat away from the other continents but still accessible.
-B must be near E and C
-C must be near B, E, G and F
-D must be on a separate island, but still accessible (see my attempt)
-E must be near B, C, G and H
-G must be near C, E and K
-H must be near E and I
-I must be near H
-J must be near K
-K must be near G and J
-M is a very small country. It can be everywhere except near/in A, C, D, F, H, I, J, L
-You have Carte blanche on the forest, montains, rivers,etc
-There must be a big desert(F)
-A: climate similar to northern Canada(north:ice, south:tundra/taiga)
Please design the planet using a tectonic plate system.
You can use any style but I prefer old/fantasy maps or something similar to Saderan.
I want 2 maps. One with the borders of each country visible and the second one with the nature(?) visible(forest, mountains, lake, etc.)
Quality & Size
Do the best you can
The size doesn't really matters, choose the appropriate one, it is your work after all.
Time Constraints
No time limit
I would like reproduction rights to the map

If you've seen the score you are probably scratching your head and wondering what happened. I think the ladies are doing the same thing. They were smacked up side the head right out of the gates. Pop warmed up but didn't play. Zimm started in her spot and unfortunately was a liability on defense picking up 2 early fouls. Moody was late to practice and didn't start. Two things that hurt us right away. Just chatting with a buddy and he said "let's focus on the good" and then his next message was "I got nothing." That's pretty much what you get in this one. How about this for starters since this was the highlight of the first part of the opening stanza. One basket in first 9 minutes. 5 turnovers. Ouch. The ladies seemed nervous and rushed. Iowa was playing in high gear and we looked lost out there.
The first ten minutes of this game were anyone wearing red's worst nightmare. State would only score two baskets while shooting horribly from just about everywhere. To make matters worse the defense was not just suspect
it was terrible covering the guards. Iowa built a 14-0 lead and then 16-5 behind mostly guard hustle. But the sisters would settle down and slowly start cutting into things. at the ten minute mark it was 16-8 and you could feel state coming back. It was a 10-2 run by state and the nightmare start was a memory. The ladies still had a hole to dig out of, but Iowa had cooled off a bit and the sisters were stumbling their way back in. Way too many turnovers in the first half. Mostly unforced. Very ugly play, but somehow they were doing things little by little. The run continued and by the six minute mark it was back to 18-15. Both teams struggled a little bit but it seemed Iowa was a little tired. They were slowing down and we were getting the boards. The last 6 minutes were mainly offensive futility by both teams. Both only picked up 2 points during that time.
20-17 at the half. Not pretty, but they were in the game. The half ended with the sisters on a 17-6 run. ISU was only 7-28 from the field and had 12 turnovers. Assists? 3. Yes
a 3-12 turnover to assist ratio. That points directly at our guards. The ladies held Johnson pretty much in check as she had 4 points, 4 boards and 4 turnovers.
Second half started off cold as well. Sloppy play continued and Iowa kept getting chances at the line. Players continue to rush things too much. Finally
at the 15 minute mark Moody tied the game at 23 with a 3. Then the ugliness picked up again. It looked like a scrum more than a basketball game. This was a half of spurts and droughts. The ladies would pull even or even ahead and then go into an offensive funk and have some defensive breakdowns. These would allow Iowa to to pull ahead
at one point by 11 points. But Iowa State would show grit and keep coming back. The final spurt was at 39 and then the wheels completely fell off. The biggest factor of the second half were fouls and free throws. All of us know that Bill's mantra is shoot more free throws than your opponent makes. We didn't get our second free throw ATTEMPT in the game until less than 8 minutes were left. Final stats
ISU shot a great 100% on five attempts. Iowa on the other hand made 16 on the night. In the end, Iowa pulled away in the last two minutes at the line and making a couple of shots as our offense again was rushing and clanking shots or turning the ball over. Final score Iowa 50-42.
I feel like Chris Williams doing the 3 up and 3 down after a tough loss. What were the positives in this one? The defense was what I would refer to as "ok." Not our best, but holding Iowa to 50 points isn't bad by any means. Outside of that there just isn't much to highlight. If I had to go somewhere I'd point out Moody's run in the second half. She spurred a scoring run that temporarily woke up the offense. Prins and Hal both had 10 points but as Coach pointed out, the team didn't get what they needed from the inside play.
So the three down. I'll try to limit it to three :)
1. Lots of people will wonder how the freshman guards did. Not well. Kidd was 0 for 8 from the field and had several wide open shots. Emiah started the game and didn't score and didn't handle the ball well either. I suspect this will be a great learning experience for both of them.
2. Turnovers. Twelve in the first half. 9 in the second. This team has had a propensity to not take care of the ball all season and this is the first time they've played a team that could make them pay for it. The players simply have to do better here or this could be a rough season.
3. Lapses. These happened on both ends of the court. When the defense would get some stops and the offense would begin to score
it would inevitably come to a crashing halt. For several minutes. Often 4-5 minutes. And when the offense got off track there would be defensive breakdowns for either easy points or we would foul. Iowa was in the bonus for much of the second half.
So what can you say about this one? How about offensively it set basketball back a few decades? Bad joke, but that is what it looked like out there. Not a game you would want to take someone to in order to sell them on women's basketball. They would never return. In my opinion the best thing that comes out of this is twofold. First, its gut check time. How will this young team react? How about the upper classmen? Obviously Anna, Hal and Zimm had nasty games. Will they step up even more? Second, I'm sure this gives the coaching staff much fodder to drive the team with. So many places for improvement. The scary part? The conference season is now but a few weeks away.
The worst part about this game from a fan perspective is being beaten by Iowa. I don't know why, but for several years our ladies go into the tomb known as Carver Arena and stink it up. That's a puzzle for the coaches to solve. The best thing we can do is show up in droves for the next game and get behind this team. Its just one loss that is bound to dump us out of our premature national ranking. Its time for the team to work hard, learn something from this and move on. I'll see you all Sunday for the double header at Hilton!
Lots of hustle, no shooters. In fact, Moody should have taken most of the shots.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
I would disagree with the hustle...at least not lots of it. We started off very slow and there were times that Iowa plain outhustled us for offensive boards that got them extra shots or fouls. Yes, we had our hustle moments, but too many lapses.
What about my point that the defense keyed on Hallie? I think that was what got us out of sync in the beginning. Like I say, I couldn't get the game except on radio. Hallie has been great in the other games without pop, and I think Iowa figured out they needed to take her out of her game. Anyway, I suppose I shouldn't second guess the coach.
"Cómo te va", dijo el murguista a la muchacha. Que lo cortó con su mirada indiferente
Le dijo "Bien" y lo dejó como si nada
Nuevamente... La princesa... Se perdía entre la gente (Jaime Roos)
Wow I didn't even make it 3sentences through your post. Give me a tl;dr version
Mitten...I think it was a combination of factors. Moody being gone for the first few minutes really hurt, but she screwed up by being late to practice. Lesson learned I hope. Pop being gone hurt. Brynn being a non-offensive factor hurt. All of these things allowed Iowa to not only crack down on Hal, but to continue doing it since no one else stepped up. Hal has to figure out a way to make things work.
the biggest surprise to me was how many 3's we shot early on. I really thought we should have taken it inside from the get go. Just my opinion. Hind sight is always pretty easy to work from. Then again...if the 3's are falling the plan to shoot like crazy from outside is a good plan!
Iowa State Clones - i always give the details. If you want brief here it is...we lost.
I think these summaries are great. I like your enthusiasm for women's basketball. There was a time that I lost my enthusiasm for some similar reasons the person on the game thread said, lack of athletic ability. However, I realized after a time that is just plain stupid. Of course there is difference in athletic ability, but it is the same game, and women use their strengths as well as men. This is a great team. We shouldn't lose hope, just hope they get playing together and don't go cold from the floor like they did tonight.
I don't fear the big 12, I fear that the team doesn't play as well as they are capable of playing.

True. The heart was there at times, but the hustle often was not. Iowa got to a lot of balls before us, and we are not really a slower team than them this year. I don't know how this can be, but it almost seemed like they wanted it more. How many times was there no ISU player in the vicinity of getting an offensive rebound. Winning the second chance points is something that has saved this team when shots are not going in.
I also agree with the post that not having Pop or Nikki to start really, really disadvantaged us; and that Nikki should have been shooting more. Sometimes you have to find your go-to player whose making shots and stick with her. Nikki looked like the only one who could consistently get the ball in the basket.
The Cyclones simply did not play with enough attitude. No matter the start, you have to have attitude to win at Iowa. Without Pop on the floor, the personalities of our bigs did not stand up to Iowa. Brynn looked like last year, bewildered, no attitude. Yet she was probably the best wing out there and should have been able to post up a few times herself; in other words, assert herself. She never did. Kidd seemed to bring her natural attitude, and it helped her, except for the dismal 3-point shooting. These ladies have got to find some attitude by the time the Big 12 season starts.
I thought that this team had so many good shooters and shot options that the odds of such bad shooting overall by the team were a thing of the past. It's really surprising that it was so bad. Maybe it was the game plan as some have said, and too much of the 3, not enough to the basket. There's probably something to that. The stats would probably show us to be an average to below average 3-point shooting team this year (even before this game), with our overall average helped by shots inside the paint. So putting up so many 3's may not have been a good bet, unless the team had really been blazing them in practice.
Its morning and as I look back I've thought about the game preview I offered up in another thread. One thing came true...put Iowa (or Printy) on the line and they will kill you. One thing didn't and I think it is important to give credit where credit is due. Morgan Johnson is Iowa's leading scorer. I mentioned one potential strategy would be to double down on her to slow her down. State didn't do that. Anna Prins did it all by herself. She frustrated Johnson all night long and Johnson ended up scoring 4 points in the first and 3 in the second. Not having much of an influence on the outcome of the game. This was huge for State.
What I thought I saw was that, were shoved around on almost every shot, and interior pass on offense, we sere not ready for the physical game. How many mishandled passes did you see by us, into the paint. Were those bad passes or were we taking pushes instead of posting up hard? The refs were consistent as hell and you just need to adjust.
"To run this drill, Everyone line up in a circle, pair up in rows of three, alphabetically"
I turned it on when it was 14-0 and couldn't bring myself to watch past half time. That was a basketball game in name only. I'll support the sisters whenever I can, but that was unwatchable.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not dude?
Follow me unplugged on twitter @fatkid1974
I was in and out of the game and it seemed Iowa killed ISU w/ offensive rebounds. Also,ISU couldn't buy a 3 pointer and interior play was lacking. Ugly, ugly game.
(avatar) Ducky (Havanese) passed 4/8/16. You are gone but never forgotten.
The post game show was interesting and somewhat confusing. Fennelly said Pop was cleared by doctors to play but couldn't go. As said above she dressed and warmed up but apparently pulled herself out? Not exactly sure what's going on there. She seems like the type you'd have to 'take her helmet away' to get her not to play, using a football reference.
