Does anyone think that Fred should show a little emotion? I know this has been touched on here and there but I can hardly stand to watch him acting like we're up by 20. Some will say it's not his style but it sure frustrates the heck out of me. Oh well. Go. clones
I would like Fred to go all Fran on the players every now and then.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
It's not just not his coaching style, it's not who he is. He isn't that type of coach. He goes absolutely ape **** on the players in practice, but not on the court. He likes presenting himself to the public in a professional manner.
Self-Proclaimed Smartest and Goodest Looking Poster on Cyclone Fanatic 4 years running*
*Fitzy not included
Last year he showed emotion and tapped someone in the chest and then we had his anger management threads lol
I don't think he can with his heart condition.
I have always loved that Fred is NOT Fran and totally goes banana sandwich everytime 1 little thing doesn't go his way but sometimes 20 year-old kids need a good yelling at...
Yep, this thread has just been pwned.
Maybe he can't/shouldn't go too crazy due to his pacemaker and heart condition.
Woody...TOUCHDOWN! THEY DID IT!
He also avoids outbursts due to his heart condition. I think with that concern, he just came into the gig having decided that's the attitude he's going to carry for both his health and other reasons.
I would like Fred to sit Korie and Clyburn down for the rest of the game when they play lackadaisical and selfish. We might lose but at least the other players in there would pay with some heart.

KL and Clyburn need a good kick in the ***.
Fred is being out coached too, how about some press to jump start things? Reign in the 3s some. Push the ball after made baskets. Common Fred, you can't just game plan for the big ones
There are a lot of things to complain about tonight but in my opinion this is definitely not one of them.
I know Fred can't get too worked up, but our guys needed a Larry Eustachy style screaming at tonight. That's the most pathetic effort I've seen Hoiberg's teams put forward.
I would rather the players show us some emotion.

"When I get back from Iraq," Nick Orchowski told his bride, "we'll do this the right way."
If only things would have been that simple.
Six weeks later, Cpl. Orchowski was sitting in an armored Humvee when it was hit by an improvised explosive device. His back was badly broken.
Days later, he remained unable to move anything below his neck.
"I couldn't talk at the time, because I still had a respirator in. I couldn't move," Orchowski said. "My body wouldn't produce tears because it was still in that spinal shock phase so I had no way to communicate. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't."
Years have done much to speed Orchowski's recovery. Nick has regained the use of all limbs, although he still struggles to do much with his right arm. He and his wife, Jamie, have two children and just moved into a "Homes for Our Troops" home this weekend. The home was built, free of cost to the Orchowski's, thanks to the nonprofit.
Yet, until this year, Nick had been unable to fulfill that promise he made inside a courthouse eight years ago.
9NEWS was fortunate to be there as Nick and Jamie renewed their wedding vows in front of a crowd of friends and family earlier this year. It was precisely the kind of ceremony Jamie had dreamed of long before the injury that nearly took Nick's life.

That's a beast! Where did you find a receiver?
I made a cap for the rear of the lower and decided it needed a bipod to make it really practical. So I chopped up one of my SGT ones. It fits pretty good so far, a little more tweaking and it will be ready to roll!:thumbup:
After I test fire it I will tear it down and get some of the rough spots out of the receiver and re park it.

im here to build stuff.... not cry about "how things used to be"YES, i work for TEC Tactical.. 07/02 SOT
Have you test fired this beast yet? I like the bipod touch and am curious how well it shoots at the range.

Hard to beat Texas for hunting opportunity. MLD seasons for deer, year-round hunting of some kind. Only thing it's lacking is mountains. Not a ton of public land in most areas, but leases are reasonable.
WY would be really hard to beat. Pretty good OTC elk and deer hunting, Great hunting in limited quota units, tons of public land, small population, and cities large enough that you don't have to be in BFE if you don't want to be.
CO would be pretty good. Good OTC elk hunting, easy enough to draw deer hunting. Denver is there, for when you have to actually work for a living...
I'd say Montana, but there are too many grizzlies up there, and I'm skeered of grizzlies.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Hard to beat Texas for hunting opportunity. MLD seasons for deer, year-round hunting of some kind. Only thing it's lacking is mountains. Not a ton of public land in most areas, but leases are reasonable.
Not sure about Alaska, but I should be leaving Colorado this year, as soon as my house sells. My house is located in the best snowmobiling area in the world and I can walk from my house to hunt deer, elk, bear, and antelope, still I can't stand the politics and the liberals. Wyoming and Lander would be on my radar screen. Getting too old for the snowmobiles anyway
Montana would be my first choice, but due to the fact there are not many opurtunities there for my career field, I will be moving to Colorado this summer. I cannot wait!
Well I have lived most of my life in MT, but have also tried out NM and CO for a while. Now that I am in not only the state that I wanted to be in, but the very city that my wife and I said we wanted to live in, I can point out some of MT's issues. First, there is entirely to much big blue sky, the streams and rivers have to many fish, the water is too clean, the elk bugling in Sept. and Oct. force me to take to much time off work every year, the deer eat my garden every summer, and we also have more cows than people in this state. Things that I wouldn't wish on anyone, so I hope this helps deter's you from following my mistakes.
G&T Crazy
Somewhere around Buffalo, Wyoming area. I've lived in Cheyenne twice, Casper once and both Colorado and Nebraska. I prefer Wyoming. Stuck in eastern Colorado for now and hate it. Colorado is a great place to hunt but it has gotten so crowded and screwed up by the liberals it's soon to follow California in every aspect. You hear all the time how hunters are declining but if you go big game hunting in Colorado, you know that is bull crap.
The hunting in Wyoming is great for a resident. Tags are fairly cheap; drawing tags are fairly easy and if you don't draw a tag, you can hunt the general seasons. Tons of public land and a resident can still get access to private fairly easy. What's not to like?
Wyoming has landowner tags. They r not transferable. But we have them

I've thought of this many times on where and if the grass was greener on the other side of the mountain. I see this question brought up often, not just on hunting forums but in general conversations. From my observation it's not state specific when it is asked. What matters most and is most important to one person, may not matter as much to another. Family, friends, community, beliefs, healthcare, education, activities, jobs, politics, weather, safety, and the locations that make up our different ecosystems are just some of the things that make up our level of comfort and make up where we call our home.
I think each state has it's own beauty, wonders and adventures, along with some downfalls should one want to search hard enough to find and dwell on them. It's good to be informed, find wisdom, strive and fight for our freedoms, safety and our values. It's also good to be in a place where we feel we belong.
It's also good to desire joy and happiness in our lives but I don't think that necessarily comes from just being in a particular place. It's a bit more complex or perhaps more simple of a solution depending on how a person resolves or reacts to where they're living, their circumstances and where they choose to live.

Lokar Foot Pedal Emergency Brake - Dropping Anchor On Brizio's BoatWritten by on April 9, 2008 Modifying A Lokar Foot Pedal Emergency Brake
Safety isn't always a hot rodder's main priority, but an emergency brake is a must if you want to finish off your ride the right way. I've heard more than a few stories about freshly painted cars rolling down driveways and streets unattended, only stopping abruptly thanks to a damage-inducing solid object. Here's a solution.
There are plenty of options available for emergency brake installations. Lokar and Gennie Shifter, as well as other manufacturers, offer floor-mount (horizontal) handbrakes, original stickstyle (vertical) handbrakes in a variety of heights, and the foot pedal used here in a few different finishes. If you can find one, a stock '40 Ford handle works very well, too, and looks original to boot.
Lokar designed the foot brake we'll be using with built-in adjustments so it can fit most applications, but we wanted to achieve a precise fit in Roy Brizio's '55 Chevy. Though we could have made it fit without any modification, we changed a dimension or two and fabricated a few brackets. This allowed us to maximize the throw of the pedal, and to mount the release handle exactly where we wanted it.
Once installed and hooked up to the brakes with Lokar's cable kit, this pedal offers plenty of leverage. We may never be quite sure what's likely to happen when Roy is flying down the highway, but at least we're confident that his 3,800-pound Chevy is safe when it's parked in his driveway.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here's what we started with. Both ends of the mounting apparatus adjust in and out to fit the distance between the firewall and dashboard. The bracket on the right mounts vertically on the firewall, and the bracket on the left fits horizontally on the bottom lip of your dashboard.Rather than just drill through the firewall, we decided to make a bracket with studs to mount the brake pedal to the firewall, thus eliminating unsightly bolts in the engine compartment. Starting with a piece of 3/16-inch strap, we marked the boltholes and the outline of the Lokar mounting flange.With the screw holes done, we cut the bracket to size based on the lines we traced from the Lokar mounting flange. We waited to make these cuts so we would have something to grip while drilling and chamfering our stud holes. In order to weld in the mounting studs, we first secured them by tightening the Allen screws with nuts and washers to keep them straight. This will ensure the studs don't move as we weld them.We checked the initial fit of the e-brake assembly. With our bracket still attached to the pedal firewall mount, we held the pedal assembly in so we could decide exactly where we wanted the pedal to be located. We made sure to leave enough room between the kick panel and the clutch pedal to avoid any conflict. We also checked the overall throw of the pedal at this point.We marked a center line through the holes to be precise and then centerpunched our hole marks. The Lokar bracket uses 5/16-inch bolts to mount the firewall flange, so we drilled our bracket for 5/16-inch studs. We used countersunk Allen screws since we wanted our stud bracket to sit flush against the firewall, which is also why we used 3/16-inch-thick plate instead of 1/8-inch.We ground down our welds and made sure the Allen heads were flush so the bracket will sit flat against the firewall. We then checked the fit of our bracket to the Lokar flange. Lokar provides three mounting holes (there's another between these two), but two bolts are plenty.The throw of our pedal was limited by the angle of the toeboard. We had to move it farther toward the dashboard since we wanted to be sure we could depress it all the way.We tacked our stud flange in place on the firewall once we determined the assembly was in the proper location.We bolted our new mounting flange to the brake assembly. There are two differences here: First, this bracket will not lie flat against the dash so we don't need to weld in studs, and, second, you will notice in the photo that our flange is bigger than the Lokar flange. This gives us a lip to weld to the dashboard.
With our second flange bolted to the brake assembly, we mounted the brake to our firewall flange and tacked the dash mount plate in place. At this point, the brake assembly is secured and we can begin mounting the release handle.We then turned our attention toward the dash mount. Here, you can see the mounting flange, which Lokar intends to be bolted directly to the bottom lip of the dashboard. Again, we didn't want unsightly bolt heads in our dash, so we made another bracket the same way we did before but didn't need to countersink the holes this time.We made sure the e-brake pedal was parallel with the other pedals before welding the dash bracket. There will be some side-to-side movement as the firewall flexes slightly.The release handle consists of a rod with a pull knob mounted by a simple bracket to the underside of the dash. To continue our uncluttered underdash, we needed to fabricate another bracket to replace the Lokar bolt-on L-bracket (arrow).We had the routine down at this point. We traced this one out on 1/8-inch plate and left it long so we could adjust the height of its eventual mounting point under the dashboard. We drilled a hole the same diameter as the Lokar release lever shaft, since the shaft must move freely through the hole without binding.With the release rod loosely mocked into place, we discovered the angle of the rod wasn't parallel with the floor of the car. By heating and bending the release rod, we achieved the proper angle so the release knob wouldn't be angled down. While we were at it, we also welded a washer onto the rod to prevent it from moving back and forth in the brake mechanism.We welded in the release handle bracket once we were satisfied with our angles and mounting location. It is tied into the dash mount bracket of the pedal assembly, so it'll be sturdy. The last thing we had to do was cut the threaded portion of the release rod to length.Now, we're ready to mock in the release handle. The rod will slide back and forth through this slot and disengage the ratchet mechanism that locks the brake. The release lever was resting parallel to the floor of the car, so we'll be able to pull it straight out to unlock the brake.

Samsung still not recommending Windows 10
Nearly a year after release, Samsung support is recommending that owners of its PCs not upgrade to Windows 10. In an email exchange with UK Samsung technical support and an individual in need of help getting Wi-Fi to work, the support representative wrote that "honestly speaking, we don't suggest installation of Windows 10 to any Samsung laptop or PC and we are still coordinating with Microsoft regarding to this matter" and "the Drivers that we have on our website are not yet compatible to the latest version of Windows." Samsung will update users when there are no more compatibility issues with Samsung hardware and Windows 10. Microsoft has no meaningful comment on the matter. http://bit.ly/1PgrJcx

Tama debuts adapters for Lightning-only iPhone

The three adapters, picked up by Macotakara, includes two models that simultaneously support charging an iPhone over microUSB while the user also continues to listen to music. Rumors have suggested that Apple will eventually drop the 3.5mm jack on one of its next-generation iPhones, although it is not clear whether it will be in the 'iPhone 7,' due this year, or a future model. In the interim, the Tama Electric Lightning-to-headphone adapters offer little particular utility. http://bit.ly/1P0sYXM
French Google tax raid evaluation could take years
The data retrieved from the Paris raid on Google's headquarters by French police could take months or even years to analyze, according to a prosecutor assigned to the case. Authorities seized dozens of files and related data that recorded Google's financial transactions in the country with a view to lodging a claim for unpaid taxes by the Internet search giant. Although Google has denied any wrongdoing, it must complete all of its sales contracts in Ireland, where it is incorporated. If French authorities sifting through the documents seized in the raids discover that any of its French sales transactions were completed locally, it could be subject to further action, including fines. http://reut.rs/1P0n8G2

Travel | Travel makes good opportunities to find evidence of God's love, man's fears, and creativity
As several subscribers were writing to me about summer travel plans, WORLD subscriber Phil Joseph of Milton, Ga., made a request. He read a column of mine ("Halloween's real ghouls," Nov. 17, 2012) that mentioned old Communist prisons I had visited in Eastern Europe and Asia, and wrote, "My work has taken me to many parts of the world, but it never occurred to me to try to visit places like this. … I would love to have a list of [such] places to visit and why. … Suddenly the routine business trip becomes a much more exciting adventure. … The result would be a deepening of my appreciation for the world and everything in it."
It's a great idea to add a stop or two to a routine business trip, but a list of the sort Phil wants is beyond my reach. With support from a foundation grant, I've written lots of international stories yet have still only seen small parts of 47 countries, so we need "crowd sourcing": Please send brief travel recommendations to email@example.com. Later on this year we plan to set up a travel forum at Worldmag.com on which individuals can post their recommendations in three categories.
The three categories emerge from a basic question: Why travel? Adventure, for sure—but seeing more of the world (like tracking more of the news) shows us (1) God's love, (2) man's idol worship, and (3) the creativity of God and of man created in His image. Some of my Category 1 visits came about through reporting, but non-journalists can also go behind the scenes by contacting ministries and missionaries whom they support. Travel to sites in my second and third categories sometimes require visas but no special permission beyond that. Here are five visits in each category.
Category 1: How God (through His people) shows love in the world
1. Observe at an Ethiopian cleft palate clinic: Twenty children came to a C.U.R.E. International hospital in Addis Ababa to be appraised by plastic surgeon Saul Lim. He examined them, gave them the good news that he could help physically, and gave a spiritual explanation for his presence: "Jesus brought me here for you." Patients did not know the financial sacrifice he was making to turn their grotesque faces into ones that would allow them to work and live normally, but I did.
2. Visit a Beijing group home for children with cerebral palsy: A Chinese Christian happened to stay one night at a hotel by a railroad station in northwest China. She found four abandoned tots crying in a cold, moist, dark room featuring a floor streaked with feces. She stayed a month with those children, then spent the next five years creating and running two foster homes for 31 children. She said the refuge helped her to "experience God. The body of Christ seems real to me since I've been here."
3. Hug "untouchable" children at a Christian feeding/teaching program in India: In the thatched-hut village of Manapakkam, 300 children sat on the floor of Praise Evangelical Church and squealed in delight as they took turns reciting Bible verses and performing in skits. They ate rice with bits of meat placed on banana leaves in front off them, but they also wanted to be touched by Christians who saw them not as sub-human inferiors but as God's children.
4. Head to a joyful church service in the Zambian bush country: Susan and I rode on the back of a flatbed truck with 39 Tonga tribe members exuberantly singing of their faith in Christ: "He is not number eight. He is not number six. He is number one." Standing behind the cab on the road from Siamusambo was like being at the prow of a ship with the wind blowing hard, with dirt roads tough on truck suspensions taking the place of waves, and thatch-covered, mud-daubed mega-huts acting like islands.
5. Love the unlovable: I found myself one afternoon on a rickety bus in Lima, Peru, with a bunch of teenage gang members. A ministry had invited them to a church party, but that didn't seem like a good idea when several packed-in guys started pounding each another: Fight night seemed imminent. But then three teens pulled out (from their baggy clothes) charandos, little guitars, and three others pulled out sampore, the Andean pipes. Suddenly they were beautifully playing songs, the music bouncing off the bus walls. It was 10 minutes of heaven, unexpected and wonderful.
Category 2: Idol worship and its effects
1. Grasp the intensity with which Old Testament prophets confronted idolatry by hearing the tap-tap-tapping of idol-makers' chisels and hammers at seventh- and eighth-century Mahabalipuram temple sites in southeast India by the Bay of Bengal. Get a sense of how the temple in Jesus' Jerusalem had become a marketplace by strolling the Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai or other big ones where buying and selling goes on throughout the day. Gain a new appreciation for biblical worship by visiting Hindu serpent worship temples, screaming women temples, and others.
2. Attend a 6 a.m. sutra chanting in a dark temple filled with hypnotic intensity and the smell of incense, part of the life of 1,000 monks on Mount Koya in Japan. See Buddhist attempts to become more spiritual through kugyo ("hard practice") such as chanting in freezing water and bowing for hours on tatami mats. On a more superstitious level, pick up pine needles and stick them in your wallet, hoping that wealth will come, or pick up a big rock that might lead to the granting of wishes by some cosmic force.
3. See in Turkey—or in other Muslim countries and communities—lines of Muslim men prostrating themselves in unison and reciting lines in Arabic that most do not understand. Walk in the underground cities of central Turkey's Cappadocia region where Christians hid to preserve their lives and worship opportunities when Muslim invaders gave them a choice of Allah or death. Roam Hagia Sophia, the ancient, domed Christian cathedral bathed in blood and turned into a mosque when Istanbul fell to the Turks in 1453.
4. Mourn at famous sites of Nazi mass murder like Babi Yar in Kiev or Panerai near Vilnius, or little-known ones like Varvarovka near Olevsk, Ukraine. The sense of ghosts peering out of every window or from behind every tree may be even more intense at the concentration camps of central Europe: I have not been to these, but I've read about infamous and readily accessible ones like Auschwitz-Birkenau (near Kraków, Poland), Dachau (near Munich), Mauthausen (between Vienna and Salzburg), Terezín (near Prague), and Buchenwald (near Weimar, Germany).
5. Visit Communist prisons and killing fields in Europe and Asia: I've written about some of them, but I also saw sadness in what should have been a place of joy, the 60,000-seat Estadio Latinoamericano in Havana. That stadium is home for the famed Industriales, the top team in Cuba's National League, but when I attended only several thousand fans were present. Tickets for Cubans cost the equivalent of only 1 cent, but Havana's collapsed transportation system made it hard to get to the game, and the trash-strewn park, with stinking urinals, was hard for fans to accept.
Category 3: The creativity of God, and of man made in His image
1. Walk into the cloud formed by Victoria Falls at the Zambia-Zimbabwe border. Missionary-explorer David Livingstone, the first European to see the world's largest sheet of falling water, gave the name of his queen to the falls in 1855, but the indigenous name, Mosi-oa-Tunya—literally "the cloud that thunders"—is more descriptive of spray from the falls that rises to 1,300 feet and more. Livingstone rightly wrote of the falls, "No one can imagine the beauty of the view from anything witnessed in England. It had never been seen before by European eyes; but scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight."
2. Admire the Taj Mahal, the 17th-century white marble mausoleum in northern India that is the high point of Muslim architecture. Shah Jahan spoke truly when describing the construction he had funded: "In this world this edifice has been made; To display thereby the creator's glory." But Jahan sought in Islam what can only be found in Christ: "Should guilty seek asylum here, / Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin. / Should a sinner make his way to this mansion, / All his past sins are to be washed away."
3. Enjoy the Parthenon, the 2,450-year-old temple in Athens still viewed as a crowning example of proportion in architecture. Mathematicians and architects have analyzed its "golden ratio" and delicate curves, and historians enthuse about Greece's Golden Age, but it's good to keep history in mind: Only a year after the beautiful building's completion in 438 b.c. the Peloponnesian War began, and two years later a plague killed Pericles and other Athenian leaders. By the end of the century the Parthenon's order remained but Athens had fallen into the disorder from which it never recovered.
4. Feel like Indiana Jones while exploring Angkor Wat and several dozen other millennium-old temples in the jungle of northwest Cambodia. Trees poke through temple floors in some places and vines drape statues. The temples were not places of assembly but seven-leveled replicas of Mount Meru, the Himalayan home of the Hindu gods, which functions like Mount Olympus in ancient Greek mythology. What that means practically is verticality: visitors should expect to do a lot of climbing up very steep and narrow steps.
5. Pray at the Western Wall of the Temple in Jerusalem—a supporting wall for Herod's temple, and the only part of the temple not destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. Ever since then the wall has been a homing signal for Jews throughout the world, and one so strong that Jewish scholars from the fourth century (Rav Acha) to the 18th century (Jonathan Eybeschutz) insisted that "the Divine Presence" fills the wall. Today it is magnificent in its looming plainness, and readily accessible through a plaza that can hold thousands of people, some of whom insert messages in cracks in the wall.

HOUSTON, Texas – For the second-straight weekend, East Carolina avoided a Conference USA series sweep with a Sunday victory. This time, the Pirates downed Houston 7-6. ECU (17-25, 5-10 C-USA) got out to a 7-1 lead after three innings before holding off the Cougars (26-16, 11-4 C-USA) to claim the victory.
The Pirates scored five of their runs with two outs and the seven total are the most the program has ever scored in a regular season game at Houston. Sophomores Kristi Oshiro, Jill Jelnick and Chelsea Kaluhiokalani-Glackin each recorded two hits while senior Suzanne Riggs had two hits and a pair of RBI to back freshman pitcher Courtney Smith's first career Conference USA victory. Senior Priscilla Velasquez nailed down the win, throwing the last two innings to earn her first career save.
Smith (4-10) went the initial five frames, allowing five runs on nine hits and a walk. Velasquez made the first appearance in a C-USA game of her career and gave up an unearned run on two hits and struck out one. Houston's Diedre Outon (10-4) lasted one-and-two-thirds innings, surrendering five runs on four hits and a trio of walks. She also threw two wild pitches and struck out one. Summer Groholski recorded two outs, giving up one run on three hits. Bailey Watts came in for the remaining four-and-two-thirds innings, limiting the Pirates to one run on five hits and two walks. She fanned six in the relief effort.
East Carolina jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first. Oshiro led off the game with a single up the middle. A groundout to third by Jelnick advanced Oshiro to second before sophomore Alex Fieldhouse and Riggs drew walks to fill the bases. A sacrifice fly to left from sophomore Jordan Lewis plated Oshiro. Outon's second wild pitch of the frame moved Fieldhouse to third and Riggs to second, but a strikeout stranded the pair.
The advantage did not last long, however, as the Cougars tied it at 1-1 in the bottom of the frame. After a pop out started the inning, Ashleigh Jones walked, stole second and came home on a single to right center by Melissa Gregson. Haley Outon sent the first pitch of her at-bat to deep right center, but Lewis timed the leap and snared the ball before it went over the fence. Gregson stole second before Jennifer Klinkert lined out to Riggs in left to end the threat.
In the top of the second, the Pirates regained their edge with four two-out runs to go up 5-1. Velasquez opened the frame with a walk before moving to second on a groundout. Kaluhiokalani-Glackin followed with a high chopper in front of the circle that she beat out for an infield single, putting runners on the corners. A fielder's choice by Oshiro resulted in Velasquez being thrown out at the plate. With two outs and runners on first and second, Jelnick and Fieldhouse hit consecutive singles up the middle to deliver Kaluhiokalani-Glackin and Oshiro. Groholski entered for Diedre Outon and was greeted by a double to the gap in right center by Riggs that drove in Jelnick and Fieldhouse for the four-run edge. Lewis singled up the middle, but Riggs was thrown out at the plate by Jones in center field to close the inning.
ECU tacked two more runs in the top of the third to make it a 7-1 contest. Velasquez hit a one-out solo home run to left center. It was the first hit against Houston in the senior's career. With two down and the bases clear, Kaluhiokalani-Glackin walked and came home on an Oshiro double to right center. Watts avoided further damage with a groundout.
Houston put two runners on in the bottom of the third, but left both on base. With one out, Jones singled and went to third on a Gregson single to left center. Haley Outon grounded out to Fieldhouse at third and Klinkert grounded out to Smith to strand the pair.
The Cougars got two runs back in the bottom of the fourth to make it a 7-3 game. With one out, Reina Gaber singled and was replaced by pinch runner Julia Pecina. Kendra Cullum reached on a fielder's choice as Pecina was thrown out at second. Consecutive singles by Sydney Gerbracht, Anderson and Jones plated Cullum and Gerbracht to make it a four-run deficit. With Anderson on third and Jones on second, Gregson swung at the first pitch and grounded out to Fieldhouse to end the threat.
East Carolina had an opportunity to answer in the top of the fifth, but could not convert. Velasquez picked up her second walk of the contest to start the frame and sophomore Abby Wynne entered to pinch run. Kaluhiokalani-Glackin beat out another infield single to put runners on first and second with one down. Following a strikeout, Jelnick reached on a fielder's choice as Cullum at shortstop threw to second for the force, but Kaluhiokalani-Glackin beat the toss to load the bases. Fieldhouse sent a hard grounder toward left, but Anderson at third made the stop and touched third for the final out.
Coming off the defensive hold, UH struck for two in the bottom of the fifth to make it 7-5. Haley Outon led off with a single and scored on a Klinkert double to right field. Klinkert also scored on the play as the relay throw hit Outon in the leg and skidded to the backstop. Smith bounced back with a groundout, lineout and fly out.
With Velasquez pitching in the bottom of the sixth, the Cougars moved a runner to third, but could not push her across home. With one out, Anderson singled to left center, stole second and advanced to third on a Jones groundout. Velasquez came through against Gregson, getting the 2011 Conference USA Player-of-the-Year to fly out to right field to end the threat.
UH scored once in the bottom of the seventh, but could not force the tie. Haley Outon started the inning reaching on a fielding error. After a fly out to Jelnick in right field, Outon stole second and advanced to third as her slide into second knocked the ball into left center. Velasquez retired Jaime Edwards on a groundout to Oshiro at second as Outon came home to make it a one-run game. Gaber singled to center before Cullum swung at the first pitch and popped out to Kaluhiokalani-Glackin to end the contest.
East Carolina returns to the field Wednesday for a 5:00 p.m. doubleheader against Longwood (26-20). The games will be the team's Strikeout Cancer event, promoting cancer awareness.

This year, ACS has won the Outstanding Student Chapter Award, which is considered one of the most arduous awards bestowed by National Organization.
"Winning the Outstanding Student Chapter Award is not an easy task," ACS UST Chapter President Sally Acebo said. "We have won this award a total of four times since the club was created in 1999. The ACS Chapter won this award under the leadership of last years ACS officers."
ACS partcipates in various voluntary and academic activities such as educating students at local elementary or high schools with fun chemistry demonstrations, or helping families and patients staying in accommodations near the medical center.
"We volunteer at patient centers including Ronald McDonald House and the Hospitality Apartments near the medical center, where we cook dinner for the patients and families," Acebo said.
ACS chapter members also present undergraduate research at local and national ACS conferences throughout the year. The club hosts activities like tie-dye events, BBQ socials and wine-tasting events.
"The organic chemistry students make wine in organic chemistry lab and then at the end of the year, a wine-tasting takes place," Acebo said.
ACS is a very diverse organization; its members are from different majors, not limited to the chemistry department.
"Most of our active members are actually biology majors," Acebo said. "We even have business majors, psychology majors and philosophy majors in our club. We love having a diverse group of majors in this club."

CEO's message in a bottle
As the CEO and co-founder of the Nika Water Company, Jeff Church does not make a dime from his endeavors. In fact, Church has given Nika Water many of his own dimes, which the company has promptly given away. Along with its profits.
What is wrong with this business plan? Absolutely nothing.
"I have definitely screwed up a lot of things in my life," Church said of a business career that has had its share of profits and losses. "But this is one thing that I have been lucky enough to do."
Founded in 2009 by Church and business partner Michael Stone, Nika is a premium bottled water with a bleeding heart and a clear conscience. The bottles are made from 100-percent recycled plastic. For every 98 bottles sold, a tree is planted in the Brazilian rain forest. For every bottle that is made, another bottle is recycled.
One-hundred percent of Nika's profits go to providing clean water, education and poverty-fighting support to underdeveloped countries. And hundreds of thousands of Church and Stone's own dollars have followed suit. Running a company he calls "marginally profitable" is probably not the way Church learned to do it at the Harvard Business School, but it is the way he wants to do it now.
"We're still augmenting heavily," Church, 52, said of the personal funds he and Stone continue to kick in. "But we believe wholeheartedly in these causes. When I see how much impact just $20 can have, I'm an easy mark."
By the time Nika came along, Church's corporate cup was already running over. The Cleveland native had been an auditor and management consultant for an accounting firm, a VP and general manager for a manufacturing company, CEO and majority owner of a concrete-accessories company, and founder of a private equity firm.
The Rancho Santa Fe resident was also the husband of an altruistic wife (Linda), the father of four impressionable children, and the co-owner of some new and challenging goals.
"My wife and I were struggling with what the next step would be, and we were trying to move our lives from having modest business success to having a life of significance and helping make a difference in someone else's life," Church said from the new Miramar office shared by Nika and Church's Suja Juice company. "And we wanted to teach our kids to be stewards of the environment and good global citizens."
In 2009, Church and his family went on a humanitarian trip to help build schools in Ethiopia and Kenya. All of the Churches came home with a renewed appreciation for what they had and a newfound desire to do something for the people who had so little. His kids urged him to take action, so Church did what he knew how to do. He started a business.
"I haven't really seen a family work as a unit the way the Church family works as a unit,"
said Charlene Seidle, senior vice president of the Jewish Community Foundation of San Diego, which is partnering with Nika Water to build clean-water systems and schoolhouses in the Gondar region of Ethiopia. "The way they use philanthropy as a bonding experience is something I think many families aspire to but rarely achieve."
While he knew the world probably didn't need another high-end bottled water, Church looked at the business' low overhead and potential for a high profit margin and thought it was worth trying. Since Nika launched four years ago, the company and its humanitarian partners — including Free the Children and Project Concern International — have helped provide water systems, schools and scholarships to villages in Kenya, Nicaragua, Uganda, Tanzania and Sri Lanka.

May 29, 2016
Two bills written to repeal Michigan's new "Right to Work" laws were introduced in the state Senate Thursday. Democrat Hoon-Yung Hopgood of Taylor says the laws are unpopular with the public after being passed "under the cover of night during the lame-duck session" in December. He says the "Right to Work" movement was driver by out-of-state special interest groups and not by the desires of the voters.
Hopgood's bills aren't expected to go anywhere because Republicans control both the House and Senate and because Governor Rick Snyder supports "Right to Work." Voters can't repeal the laws at the ballot box because Republicans put an appropriation in them, making them referendum-proof.

Best budget touch phone - Nokia RocksI have bought the C2-03 black color for Rs4550 on Aug 5, 2011.
Aug 27, 2011
Amazing phoneOne of the most amazing phones at the lower end. Targeted at consumers who are looking to migrate from a normal keypad to a touch screen. USP would be Dual sim, hot swap so you do not need to remove the battery and then change your slave sim. Decent camera (2 MP), BT, fm, 2 GB memory card, OVI Store, maps ....... phew ..... i could go on and on....... bottomline it is worth every penny one is planning to spend on this device

Cancer of the Small Intestine (Adenocarcinoma)
Cancer of the Small Intestine Introduction
The small intestine, or small bowel, lies between the stomach and the colon. The small intestine is about 6 m (20 ft) long. Its primary function is to digest and absorb nutrients. The small intestine makes up more than 70% of the length and 90% of the surface area ofthe gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
The most common cancerous (malignant) tumors of the small bowel include adenocarcinoma, lymphoma, sarcoma, and carcinoids.

Installing an A-Body WingWritten by on January 12, 2005 It's been more than 30 years since wings were factory installed buthere's how to get one on your A-Body
Its function is a matter of debate. But whether or not you feel the rearwing offered on the '70 Duster is functional, you have to admit it looksreally cool on the trunk lid. though when it came from the factory, theGo-Wing was an often over-looked option, especially on the A-Bodies. Itis the one piece of musclecar heritage the import crowd has made adebacle of by modifying the original design and mounting it on theirso-called cars.
It's been more than 30 years since the last car rolled off theDodge/Plymouth assembly line with one of these wings attached, butthanks to First Place Auto Products (FPAP), the version that made itsdebut in 1970 is being offered to the public again. This brand-new,concours-quality kit features cast pedestals, the molded wing, and allattaching hardware. Even if your trunk lid was not equipped with a wing,First Place Auto Products has designed and manufactured templates tocorrectly locate and mount the wing to any '70-'76 Duster, Demon, orDart Sport trunk lid. The material used to manufacture this reproductionwing is an ABS-based thermoplastic (a proprietary blend), which ismolded in gray (as the originals were). It's not fiberglass. No originalMopar wings were ever made of fiberglass. This two-piece wing derivesits rigid stability from the material itself, instead of a secondarysupport such as a metal rod or foam. All the specifications are correct:thickness, taper, length, height, crown, and weight of the wing are "asfactory." The wing is painted in black primer, but can be supplied incorrect, original, black suede Organsol-Black finish. The pedestals aremade of hollow zinc die-cast construction, and the underside bracketsare powdercoated black. Even though the Go-Wing was only offered in1970, First Place Auto Products offers every part needed, includingplacement instructions, to correctly mount this spoiler on any '70-'76A-Body, '70-'74 B-Body, or '70-'74 E-Body. What's more, it's licensedand endorsed by Ma Mopar as an official Mopar authorized reproductionproduct made in the good ol' U.S. of A.

The wing was installed in just a few hours. now we can remove it andpaint all the parts and the trunk lid.All the parts required for the install are included in the kit. Sinceour Duster trunk lid never came with a wing, the FPAP-designed templates(sold separately) made mounting the wing a cinch.Over the years we've become skeptical about the words: simple, bolt-on,and easy, so we decided to mount the pedestals to the wing and checkfitment. The parts really do fit as required and made the installationsimple.Make sure you check your measurements before you drill any holes. Wemeasured from the center ridge in the trunk lid and found our marksperfect.With our holes marked, we taped the gaskets to the trunk lid to ensureour holes would be centered and lightly center-punched for drilling.Don't beat the punch into oblivion or the sheetmetal will need bodywork.Start with a 1/8-inch pilot hole for the studs.First Place Auto Products has designed and developed these handytemplates for cutting the bottom side of the trunk lid. The moldedtemplate tapes to the underside of the trunk lid. we took a marker andmarked where the underskin needed cut.
Here, the underside of the trunk lid was rough-cut, and the bracketchecked for fitment. The marked X on the trunk lid was cut out for thebracket mounting-clip to slide in place.When done cutting, clean up the edges with a file or an abrasivecleaning wheel on a die-grinder to achieve a professional finish.We installed the pedestals to the wing by sliding the pivot bar throughthe pedestal. We placed the pedestals into location on the wing and usedthe supplied bolts and screws to hold the assembly together.Then we slid the assembled wing onto the trunk lid, placed the properwashers and nuts in place, and tightened.Before the lower bracket could be installed, the special nut/washersneeded to be placed on the studs. These nut/washers go between the trunklid and bracket. when the bracket is installed, they tighten downagainst it to give the wing support.(above & below left) Here you can see the nut/washers sticking through the bracket. Next, weinstalled the screws holding the bracket to the trunk lid, and thentightened the nut/washers against the bracket.
The underside brackets are completed. With the first nut/washer againstthe trunk lid skin, and the nut/washer, bracket, and finish nutinstalled, the wing is as stable as a building.

Canepa: Curtain falls on Norv, A.J. production
All kinds of hail fell on Qualcomm Stadium Sunday prior to the Chargers-Raiders season finale, a fitting precursor to all kinds of hell breaking loose today.
Because a volatile era (that really shouldn't have been that volatile) has ended. New Year's Eve. Out with the same old stuff, in with the unknown.
Chargers President Dean Spanos will fire Norv Turner, his head coach for six seasons, and A.J. Smith, his general manager for 10, much to the delight of many Chargers fans, who never liked Turner to begin with and grew to loath Smith when the lug nuts began to fall off a Ferrari that morphed into a jalopy.
The Chargers, winners of three of their final four games, concluded their first losing season (7-9) since 2003 with a 24-21 victory over Oakland. But it wasn't nearly enough to save football jobs. The team missed the NFL playoffs for the third consecutive year, unacceptable by everyone's standards, especially those of Spanos, who came this close to firing Turner and Smith a year ago.
When it was over, Turner, in one of his few shining oratory moments behind a podium, praised the way his players always stood up for him, saying: "It is the ultimate. The one thing that I always will appreciate best is that because of the mindset about a half-hour after I was hired, they always had the out because it was easy to blame me. The players always had an easy out. I don't think, with maybe one or two exceptions, they ever took it. They never used it.
"On Mondays, it would have been easy for them to go along with the crowd and say, "I confess; he did it." They didn't. They always took coaching and acknowledged where they needed to get better."
This time, Spanos had to make a business decision. There have been TV blackouts. Apathy and anger has been growing in his fan base. There is a chance of losing this town as he attempts to get a new stadium built. In the past, Spanos hasn't always heeded the fans' wishes, but this time he had no choice.
Unless Turner and Smith were able to drive this team well into the playoffs, changes were going to be made. There never was much question of it. The two men who helped produced the most productive era in Chargers history will be gone, and it is expected to happen today, which is right. No use to delay the inevitable.
Now, of course, the question is: What happens next? These are not going to be the only two vacated jobs among the 32 NFL clubs. Office space will be available.
It is expected that Jimmy Raye, Smith's director of player personnel, will take over as general manager. For sure, Raye will not be as stubborn as Smith, who shut out people he didn't like, but how far will Raye stray from his mentor's football philosophy?
A.J. wanted nothing to do with malcontent players and ran them out of his locker room as fast as he could. He was brilliant early on in his tenure and then made some mistakes on draft day and allowed players to leave that incensed the fans. He stood by Turner, his only coaching hire, all along, and that didn't help endear him to the public, either.
It would be wrong to believe that Spanos hasn't quietly been doing research on the available coaches. If Raye is named, the interview process will proceed immediately, although under NFL rules, assistant coaches for playoff teams can't interview for jobs right away.

Wisconsin Conservation Corps 1983 - 2003
20 years of service to Wisconsin
The Wisconsin Conservation Corps ceased operations on June 30, 2003.
The WCC was created in 1983 to provide employment to young men and women 18 to 25 years of age through participation in and completion of conservation and natural resource projects. In addition, a major goal of the WCC was to teach young adults basic work habits and job skills, to develop cooperation and discipline through meaningful work experiences, and to provide training and educational opportunities, all of which worked to improve their chances of securing employment in the private sector. WCC worked with crews conducting projects throughout the state. Each crew typically consisted of four to six corps members and a crew leader. Projects for WCC crews were developed in association with sponsors, such as governmental agencies, nonprofit organizations, and school districts, and were designed to last for one year. Corps members were hired for the duration of the project. Sponsors were responsible for providing transportation for the crew, tools, materials, and other equipment needed to complete project activities, for technical assistance, and for support services for the crew leader. WCC crews performed a wide variety of conservation and community development projects including timber stand improvement, trail development, planting trees, soil erosion control, and construction of recreational facilities.
Crewmembers who successfully completed six months to one year of service were eligible to receive an education voucher that was worth at least $1,000, but not more than $2,800. The education voucher could be used for payment of tuition and required program activity fees at any institution of higher education in the state, including vocational, technical, or other training schools.
The WCC Board oversaw operations and was composed of seven members and established policies as well as reviewed and approved projects. The Board members represented regional, environmental, and agricultural interests and one member was also a member of a workforce development board.
The Wisconsin Conservation Corps ceased operations on June 30, 2003.

How to Paint Your Interior Parts - Inside HighlightsWritten by on January 27, 2014 Why replace when you can paint your interior parts.
I was looking through some of the parts that I have accumulated for the '73 Charger that I have been very slowly trying to get working on, and when I got to the interior panels, I just couldn't decide how I would handle restoring or replacing these parts. Let's face it. Nobody makes the plastic pieces in the Dark Green that I need. Sure, I can get some of the parts new, but they're black and need repainting. So, if I need to repaint new parts, why not just paint the originals, since they're in good shape?
The plastic pieces that I have for the Charger are in decent shape, so painting them is a viable option. That option saves me from having to buy new pieces -- that need painting. This will save me a lot of money, and Paula likes it when I do that. Anyway, redying or repainting plastic interior pieces has gotten a bad rap over the years. Usually, it's not the paint or dye's fault, it's that the pieces weren't properly prepped for painting, or the wrong paint/dye was used. Since I didn't want to have pieces that had flaked or cracked "paint," or otherwise not usable when I finally do get to install them, I decided to do some research and see what paints were available, and get some references from guys that have actually used different products.
I asked quite a few people what products they recommend, and one of the company's that got a lot of good comments, was Herb's Parts. We didn't realize that they developed their own proprietary interior paint, that as they say, "…is a new formula that penetrates the surface of leather, vinyl, ABS, PVC, Polycarbonate, acrylic, Lexan, metal and Polypropylene. It forms a molecular bond that restores or changes the color permanently."
That sounded good to us, but we still proceeded with caution. We were also told that the paint will not crack, fade or peel, and the grain simulation isn't altered or filled in, no matter how many coats are applied. Armed with that information, we decided we would put it to the test. We went online and ordered a couple of cans in the Dark Green we needed (Herb's has paint charts on their website for reference), and decided to see how it would turn out for us. Follow along and decide for yourself -- we did.
Costs for Aerosol can of color choice: $17.00 each
Floor Fixin'
When the folks at Herb's told us that their interior paint can also be used on carpeting, we were a bit skeptical. The last time we saw paint/dye used on carpeting, it had a rough, dry feeling that almost made the carpet feel "brittle." Herb assured us that his paint does not cause the carpet to feel that way. So we decided to give it a try. The carpeting in the Valiant has this faded spot on the transmission tunnel that needed some attention. Now, there are a couple of ways to tackle this situation, you can either remove the carpet from the car and paint it all, or, if you feel lucky, try to "blend" the color near the affected spot. I felt lucky, so I first took the time to thoroughly clean the carpet, and then hit the affected area with a couple of light coats. By spraying light coats, you avoid any clumping that could occur from improper application, and you have a better chance of your "blend" matching the existing carpet.

Please share experiences good and bad. Many of us are looking for alternatives now that Dr Lee is gone.
Please share experiences good and bad. Many of us are looking for alternatives now that Dr Lee is gone.
I'm surprised nobody has responded to this - I took a look at their website; and I must say, it's rather impressive. I was particularly drawn to the product called Minoxidil 5% GAFF, which is combined with Green Tea Extract, Azelaic Acid, Finasteride, and Flutamide. It's price is listed differently - once at $138 and another at $114 - but these are both for TWO 80 ml bottles, so even at $138, it's not a HORRIBLE price (compared with Dr. Lee).
Has ANYONE tried this? It seems to be even BEYOND what Dr. Lee was offering ... and I'm thinking about pulling the trigger and giving it a go. ANY feedback about this site?
i use their sensitive minoxi...its very convient...dries fast...but the delivery was very slow...i ordered 2 bottels of 80ml for 38$....but i got 2 bottles of 100ml...very strange...
Yes, I used it last week for the first time.
I purchased Spiro S5. It arrived in 3 days and seems fine. No complaints at all.
thanks everyoneOriginally Posted by moshe123
Hey gents - received my order from minoxidil max the other day - 15%min/5% az acid, and 5%/5% for day use. Thus far, the product seems OK - not as "sticky" as the Xandrox (not sure if that's good or bad), but quite a bit cheaper. However, I just got a wild hair and decided to order some of the GAFF product from ******* - I just pulled the trigger. If this product is effective, I'll probably order a whole buttload, simply because I'm afraid they'll shut down these guys next.
The GAFF product from ******* arrived today, so I'll give you my immediate feedback. First off, didn't dig the packaging that much (I know, not too important) - the box was a bit smashed, there was NO literature on the product (aside from the box itself), and there were NO droppers - each bottle simply comes with a spray nozzle attached to it. It just seems a bit sloppily put together, in my opinion.
I put some of the product on my hair, and to my surprise, it was fairly greasy. I'm so used to Dr. Lee's products, which are FAR from greasy. So, that's my feedback thus far - I can tell it's just not a "together" outfit as I believe Dr. Lee's was ... but maybe the product will work wonders. Here's hoping ...
I can vouch for that, I've sent them 3 emails asking about international shipping and have had no feedback whatsoever. I also find it funny that on the order form, 1 bottle has the same shipping price as 1000 bottles...
Has anyone tried Lipogaine?
5% Minoxidil
Azleic Acid
Saw Palmetto
I have not, but I'll say it again: I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a buzz about the GAFF product. I mean, if I'm not mistaken, it's ingredients are unprecedented when it comes to DHT inhibitors and growth stimulant mixes, no? I've yet to hear of something as powerful; and yet, I've heard NOTHING about it on this site. What gives, dudes?

We need an outflow pipe to the ocean
(Page 2 of 2)
Since 2008, more than $1.64 million in state and federal money has been spent on studies documenting high levels of ammonia and nitrate near the mouth of the existing Bay Park outflow pipe, in Reynolds Channel. And recent findings show that when effluent is released into the bay, it does not move out into the ocean, as previously thought. In fact, Long Beach island acts as a barrier, preventing treated sewage from reaching the ocean, and instead it sloshes back and forth in the Western Bays for months at a time, damaging an already fragile ecosystem.
Even when sewage is treated, Esposito explains, nitrogen levels build up, causing root systems in the wetlands to be very shallow. Shallow roots weaken the wetlands, and eventually they can no longer protect the mainland against storm surges and flooding.
Studies by Stony Brook University have also concluded that the nitrogen in sewage causes harmful algae blooms, reduces oxygen in the water (which kills fish), stimulates seaweed growth and leads to the deterioration of salt marsh islands that surround the mainland. The accompanying release of noxious hydrogen sulfide gas threatens the health of communities surrounding the bays.
State and federal studies have shown that 95 percent of the nitrogen in the bays comes from the Bay Park and Long Beach plants, with 85 percent from Bay Park alone. The Environmental Protection Agency and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation have already declared vast areas of the water of the bays "impaired."
The degradation of our estuaries has a ripple effect. Polluted waters mean less fishing and recreational boating, closed beaches and fewer tourism dollars in a coastal area that depends on these industries.
We applaud the efforts of Schumer and Mangano, and call on the federal government to provide these desperately needed funds to ensure that Bay Park does not continue to pollute the bays. And although an upgraded plant is needed, it's not enough to protect human health and the environment. An ocean outflow pipe would not only help us avoid environmental disaster in the future, but is needed to safeguard our bays and the health of those who live near them.

Death on Everest
Russian alpinist Alexey Bolotov died Tuesday, May 14 while climbing on Mount Everest. He was reportedly attempting a new route on the mountain's rarely climbed Southwest Face with his partner Denis Urubko of Kazakhstan. Reports have varied, but the Nepal Mountaineering Association stated that Bolotov was killed by rockfall on the Lhotse face. Bolotov's body was recovered at 5,600 meters (18,370 feet) and returned to Kathmandu.
Alan Arnette reports via Outsideonline.com that the two climbers were attempting the Southwest Face in "alpine style meaning they carried all their gear on the entire summit push." The alpinists were reportedly self supported and were also fixing their own ropes while attempting to pioneer a new route on the mountain.
This is one of six confirmed deaths during the 2013 Everest season, according to Alanarnette.com. Namgyal Sherpa, 35, of Kathmandu died while climbing on Everest's North side. Lobsang Sherpa, 27, from Kharikhola died in a fall on the Lhotse face. DaRita Sherpa, 37, from Phortse died at Camp 3 from a "sudden cardiac or cerebral event." Sergey Ponomarev died of a heart attack at Advanced Base Camp while climbing on Everest's north side. And Mingma Sherpa, 47, from Lukla died from falling into a crevasse while working as an Icefall doctor.
