Winter Gloves for Kids set for February 11
Royals fans are familiar with Ryan Lefebvre's Gloves for Kids event that collects baseball gloves. Now, Lefebvre has a new event that will collect winter clothes and gloves for the Salvation Army. Royals alumni, front office associates and broadcasters are scheduled to participate in the first-ever Winter Gloves for Kids bowling event on Thursday, February 11 at 7 p.m. at Lucky Strike in Kansas City's Power and Light District.
Participants include Royals Hall of Fame players Dennis Leonard, Paul Splittorff, Jeff Montgomery, Frank White and Willie Wilson along with former Royals players Mike Boddicker, Al Fitzmorris, Shane Halter, David Howard and Brian McRae. Sports media personalities include Lefebvre and Joel Goldberg of Fox Sports Kansas City, as well as Bob Davis, Denny Matthews and Steve Stewart with the Royals Radio Network.
Public admission to the event is free, however guests are encouraged to bring a donation of adult or children-sized winter gloves or make a financial donation. Everyone who donates will be entered into a drawing for an assortment of prizes, including an opportunity to visit Lefebvre in the Fox Sports Kansas City television booth for an inning during a 2010 Royals game. The public is also invited that evening to participate in a silent auction of sports-related memorabilia.
In addition to the Winter Gloves for Kids event, several of Thursday's participants will also take part in the Honk n' Holler program on Wednesday, February 10 at 6:30 p.m., delivering hot food, drinks and warm clothing to the homeless adults and children of Kansas City.
Proceeds from the February 11th bowling event will benefit The Salvation Army's Children's Shelter and the Honk n' Holler program. Lefebvre's Footprints Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged youth in the greater Kansas City area by providing funding for athletic and educational equipment as well as environments for positive social growth. Since 2001, Lefebvre, the Royals and Dick's Sporting Goods have teamed up to hold nine Gloves for Kids events, raising well over $70,000.
We hope to see you at Lucky Strike next Thursday!

Yusen Logistics (Americas) Inc. launched today
April 01, 2011
NYK Logistics (Americas) Inc. (NLA) and Yusen Air & Sea Service (U.S.A.) Inc. (YAS) merged today, thereby creating a new major force in the global marketplace: Yusen Logistics (Americas) Inc.
In an interview with LM, marketing spokesmen said that the merger represents an expansion of the company's "portfolio" of services.
"We can provide a Yusen branded and operated solution for every link in our customers' supply chain, regardless of it's complexity," said senior vice president, Jim Craig.
But the move to consolidate was not driven by "branding" alone, spokesmen added. Indeed, Yusen will now offer full end to end service coverage. This includes origin cargo management, ocean freight forwarding through its Double Wing Express brand, airfreight forwarding, warehousing, reverse logistics, surface transportation and integrated supply chain solutions.
Globally, Yusen Logistics will employ over 17,000 staff across 412 offices and facilities and manage over 22 million square feet of warehousing space. In the Americas, Yusen Logistics will have over 60 office locations throughout North and South America. They will employ some 2,000 staff and operate 4.7 million square feet of warehousing space. The new company will be headed up by Masaki Tanaka, Chairman, Kazuo Ishizuka, President and CEO and Michael Noone as EVP & COO.
"The successful integration of our two strong companies will be accomplished by realizing a singular focus of employee consciousness, corporate governance and values," Ishizuka. "This will allow us to deliver high-quality global supply chain services, creating greater value with each additional Yusen service we incorporate in to our customers' unique solution."

Good, Solid Quality
By Manny
from San Diego, CA
About Me Commuter
I installed this on a steel SS Retro-cruiser (circa 1898). It's a nice match for the black frame and Brooks brown leather. The rake and trail on a frame with fairly steep angles (74deg ST angle, 74.5deg HT angle) makes for quick handling, but also some toe overlap.It's a little on the heavy side, but pretty rigid, making steering precise.
This fork is bike bling!

Solid, flashy, great value
By treedweeb

About Me Competitive Cyclist
Bought this chrome beauty to pair with the Nekkid aluminum frame. The bright shiny chrome with the deep blue frame, decked out with lots of chrome and silver components made for an inexpensive, comfortable, solid and quite attractive build. you're not going to win any races with this heavy fork but for a nice singlespeed build it has been first rate. Gets tons of compliments. The ride is smooth, stable and solid. Easy to assemble. This product is a great value. Finished out the build with Campy CX1 crankset (removed small ring to leave single 46-tooth ring) and CX Power tourque bottom bracket to keep out the muck, plus a set of Wabi wheels for my winter/nasty weather singlespeed. Great on club rides all winter long, for training, working on those pedal circles etc.

About Me Avid Cyclist
I like this fork and am glad I purchased it with the nashbar black chromo frame. I was not sure what it would look like on a black frame but was pleased of final build. I used black and chrome or silver in wheelset, levers, pedals, brakes, bottle cages and frame pump. Bike rides good.
Beautiful Chrome Fork
By Newsboy
from Austin, Tx
A pretty ordinary white powder-coated Nashbar aluminum frame, with components off a hit-by-truck bike, becomes a really lovely bicycle with this neat chrome fork. It has class, retro appeal, and is more supple than a carbon fork.

Nice fork, beautiful chrome, a tad heavy
By duathlon
from Chicago
Beautiful chrome finish. It comes with star nut, and 2 threaded eyelets on the back of dropouts for your fender stays. The center hole for rim brake was a little rough, and needed quick cleanup with my rattail file to remove burrs on the inside. Not a big problem. It is well made, and seems very sturdy, but a tad heavy 2.6lb on my plastic scale (uncut.) I bought it to go with Nashbar's Schwinn 2010 LeTour (white) frame and it fits very well on that (steel) frame. I agree with other reviewer that says it has clearance for 700C x 28mm tires. My roads are very bad, and I can only ride wider tires. It does not come with a rubber or cork plug for bottom of steerer tube, but I should be able to find one at Ace Hdwr to keep slosh out. Appears to be polished chrome on the fork blades, but the steerer tube appears to be not as polished smooth. Stamped Nashbar Cr-Mo on the steerer tube. Overall, a very nice steel road fork! Not for disc brakes.
Don't go carbon if you don't have to
By jmj
from Phila, Pa
This fork was the find of my single speed build. I used it with the Nashbar nekkid single speed frame and it works and looks like it was meant for it, it's also pretty light for a steel fork only weighing about a pound more than a carbon/alloy instead of the usual 2 plus of a cro-mo one. The steerer cut easily what a standard pipe cutter and the lower race went on ok, but only after i heated it up a little. I bought it on a 20% off sale but it's still a bargain at the regular price, and it gives a nice old-school feel to the front end.

Great Fork for my Fixie
By Kosher Rider
from Brooklyn, NY
Great for my Fixie!I attached this to my nekkid aluminum frame and it looks real mean. It was easy to paint over, the web gave me great advice. And here is some advice for you. Get a stem and handlebars here, and make sure the specs match up. As far as steering piece, I advise you go to your LBS because you need a special tool and you also need to cut the metal which can be dangerous. I asked my LBS to install the steering, cut the fork, and install the chain+bottom bracket because you don't want to play games in that area. Good Luck!
Looks Nice, Handles Well
By Pantani on the Hills
from Central NJ
I put this Nashbar Steel fork on my 2012 Bianchi Imola (steel framed), replacing the CF fork that the bike came with. The Nashbar steel fork is a vast improvement...both in handling and in ride-feel. I was originally concerned that there might be an issue with handling since the Nashbar fork has a rake of only 40mm...but there seems to be no incompatibility. Now I can take high speed turns with total confidence due to the fact the steel fork holds the road much better. Secondly, the whole bike feel is vastly improved. Whereas before the ride was 'dead'. this fork has a much better feedback...absorbing the big bumps but still allowing for some feedback even on relatively smooth roads. The bike finally feels like a 'steel' bike should...giving that old-style massage-like vibration which makes bike-riding the best form of therapy. Its all relatively simple to install. I did have to go to the bike shop to have them remove the race-crown from the old fork and put it on the new fork. The race-crown is the platform where the ball-bearings sit on top of the fork. Aside from that I did the rest of the installation myself using the Park Tool SG-6 saw guide, and the Park Tool TNS-4 Starnut setter.The fork comes with a star-nut.

New Priced Out Report Released
Critical Advocacy Tool for Expanding Access to Affordable Housing for People Living with Mental Illness
June 20, 2011
The Technical Assistance Collaborative (TAC) and the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) Housing Task Force have released the Priced Out in 2010 study which demonstrates that the national average rent for a modestly priced one-bedroom apartment is greater than the entire Supplemental Security Income (SSI) of a person living with a disability. The study sheds light on the serious problems experienced by our nation's most vulnerable citizens – extremely low income people living with significant and long-term disabilities – including non-elderly adults living with serious mental illness.
As many NAMI members know first-hand, SSI is a federal program that provides income to people living with significant and long-term disabilities, including serious mental illness, who are unable to work and have no other source of income and virtually no assets. According to Priced Out in 2010, a single person SSI household received an average monthly SSI payment of $703 to cover all their basic needs, including housing. This study documents that $703 is less than the rent for most apartments across the nation, particularly in higher cost housing markets.
The major findings from the Priced Out in 2010 study include the following:
Priced Out in 2010 is the 7th edition of the Priced Out series and is being published as our nation struggles to recover from a deep recession and as major cuts are being made in federal programs. Unlike some prior economic downturns, this one has been all about housing. Millions of Americans have already lost their homes or continue to face foreclosure, eviction and the possibility of homelessness.

Frisco, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Many of the seniors on the North Dakota State
football team might have been rooting for Eastern Washington to make it through
to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game.
The seniors were freshmen in 2010 when Eastern Washington knocked the Bison out
of the FCS playoffs in an overtime thriller in the national quarterfinals.
The Bison haven't lost a playoff game since then - 11 wins in a row - and on
Saturday at Toyota Stadium, one final triumph would allow them to cap their
careers with a third straight FCS championship.
Middle linebacker Grant Olson might have been the only North Dakota State
senior rooting for Towson to beat Eastern Washington in the semifinals. And it
happened one day after the Bison held up their end of the bargain for a return
trip to Frisco.
Olson hasn't played since early November when he suffered a torn ACL and a
Grade 1 MCL sprain in his left knee while playing against Illinois State. Had
North Dakota State wound up playing Eastern Washington on Saturday, it would be
bracing for a wide-open passing attack. Against Towson (13-2), the Bison (14-0)
will face a lot of Terrance West and the Tigers' running game.
And that's exactly the style of offense that will help maximize Olson's
courageous return to the playing field. He wasn't about to sit out his final
game, injury or no injury, and he will be more effective against the run than
the pass.
"It's been hurtful seeing him on the sideline," Bison All-America senior
cornerback Marcus Williams said on Thursday. "But to have him back out there,
our captain and the quarterback of our defense, it's going to be great."
Olson has told defensive coordinator Chris Klieman and the Bison coaches that
he thinks he could play about 30 snaps against Towson. The coaches will more
likely go play to play and see how much spring is in Olson's step, but the team
leader will demand every last drop of effort out of himself.
"It also depends on the type of game it is," Olson said. "If it's a spread-em-
out passing game, which Towson usually doesn't do but they have a little bit
of, it probably wouldn't be very successful (for Olson). But if they're going
to line up and try and run the football and it's going to be a downhill run
game, then I can do that. It's not so far to move, and I can tackle and I can
take on blocks and do some of those things."
Olson was a big loss when he suffered what basically was his first career
injury. The 6-foot, 228-pounder from Minnesota, a three-year starter who opened
the season as a Buck Buchanan Award candidate, was hurt on a tackle when he
planted his left knee and it buckled underneath him.
The Bison defense has still dominated in Olson's absence, shutting out South
Dakota in the regular season finale and then erasing three more good offenses
in the playoffs. Olson, though, has still found ways to contribute in the
interim - basically as an extra coach.
"Ever since I got hurt, I've been trying to contribute in terms of helping out
the younger guys, helping to coach them up and things like that," Olson said.
"When our starters are on the field, I can say, 'OK, guys, look at this, here's
the formation, this is the play call, what's our key, what's your assignment?'
The play starts, and I'm like, 'OK, did you see how they did it? You know, he's
a starter for a reason because he does it well. That's how it's done.'"
"He basically sees everything," Williams said. "He'll come up to you and tell
you what's going on or which play was just run or how they did this formation
or how they schemed to block."
Olson, says Williams, is "so smart that he doesn't understand how smart he is
at times." He's still tied for second on the team with 79 tackles despite
missing the four games. Carlton Littlejohn, who has 82 tackles, has slid into
the middle from his outside linebacker spot and been a star in the playoffs,
but he will gladly move back if it means Olson will be patrolling the middle
With a win, North Dakota State would join the 2005-07 teams from Appalachian
State as the second program to win three straight FCS titles.
The Bison have gone an incredible 42-2 since the start of the 2011 season. All
of that success has followed the playoff loss to Eastern Washington in 2010.
The Bison seniors are 13-1 overall in the playoffs over their careers, and what
Olson calls his "family" has one more reunion at their home away from home.
"It's kind of one of those things that you don't truly understand it until you
are a part of it," he said. "But once you're there, you get it. You're a part
of it, you understand it, you realize it's something incredibly special. It's
just been a privilege to be here and to play in this program, especially with
such a great group of men."

Does social media create serious relationship problems?
A new survey out of the U.K. found that more than a third of divorce filings last year contained the word Facebook [1], according to Divorce Online, a legal services firm.
"Affairs happen with a lightning speed on Facebook," K. Jason Krafsky, who co-authored Facebook and Your Marriage with wife Kelli, told SmartMoney [2].
"It puts temptation in the path of people who would never in a million years risk having an affair."
Research revealed that 80 percent of U.S. divorce lawyers claim to have seen an increase in the number of separation cases using social networking.
"I see Facebook issues breaking up marriages all the time," divorce attorney, Gary Traystman told the publication.
What do you think? Do you know any couples who have split up because of Facebook?

The twelfth meeting of the Economic Forum of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe convened in Prague, The Czech Republic, May 31 – June 4, 2004.
The United States Delegation, ably led by U.S. Ambassador to the OSCE Stephan M. Minikes, included public members Rebecca Rannich, President and CEO of MedRespond; Stuart Gilman, President of the Ethics Resource Center; and Michael Rattie, Senior Program Manager, The Institute for Entrepreneurial Excellence of the University of Pittsburgh; as well as State Department Officers Katherine Brucker and Susan Archer, and myself on behalf of the Commission.
Under the broad theme "New Challenges for Building up Institutional and Human Capacity for Economic Development and Cooperation," the Forum participants representing 50 of the OSCE participating States focused their discussion and recommendations primarily on three subjects: supporting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises; stimulating foreign and domestic investment; and human capacity building – improving the professional skills needed for developing a market economy through education, dialogue and public-private partnerships. Three preparatory seminars held throughout the OSCE region in the run up to the Prague meeting had developed these topics and corresponding working groups were convened at the Forum.
One plenary session reviewed the implementation of OSCE commitments in the economic and environmental dimension. A special session was held on partnership with the business community, and the closing plenary addressed the Integration Processes in the OSCE. During the week, special side events were held on Promoting Entrepreneurship and Opportunities for Economic Development for Roma and Sinti; Public-Private Cooperation in the Prevention of Trafficking in Human Beings; and Promoting Cooperation with the Mediterranean Partners for Cooperation.
In his statement to the opening plenary, Ambassador Minikes challenged the delegations to focus on practical ways the participating States and the OSCE can improve business development and the investment climate. He asserted that the theme of the Forum was perhaps a bit ambitious in that talking about "building up capacity" assumes that one is building on solid ground. The problem facing many transition states, according to Minikes, is "that the ground is not solid; too often governments are not willing partners in creating conditions conducive to business development. To the contrary, I have found during my intensive travels that too often governments are expert, not in promoting, but in blocking business."
In the face of intransigence on the part of government officials at the top, Ambassador Minikes suggested working from the bottom up to change public attitudes so that there is zero tolerance for corruption – by reaching out to young people by expanding the OSCE's Youth Entrepreneurship Seminars and Civic Education Youth Camps, by ensuring free, fair and transparent elections, and by supporting free and open media. "History has shown us that if governments create the opportunity for business to do business, free of the oppressive weight of corruption and over-regulation, business will identify the opportunities and it will flourish. What we need to do is clear the road of the roadblocks, of unnecessary, lengthy detours, and of illegal toll booths collecting criminal fees that go into the pockets of the few, but that represent an illegal tax on us all," Minikes said.
Members of the U.S. Delegation participated fully in all aspects of the Forum by chairing working groups, actively engaging in discussions regarding small business development, foreign investment and promoting transparency in both the public and private sectors, and by networking with business representatives and government officials from the participating States.
Not surprisingly, corruption emerged as the major impediment to increasing both foreign and direct investment and promoting business and institutional development. The OSCE Strategy Document on the Economic and Environmental Dimension, approved at the OSCE Ministerial Council in Maastricht in December 2003, calls on the participating States to adopt a comprehensive and long-term anti-corruption strategy. As a result of the efforts of Commission Co-Chairman Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell and Ranking Democratic Member Representative Benjamin L. Cardin, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly has called for the convening of a meeting of OSCE Ministers of Justice and Interior to initiate such a long-term strategy.
In all, more than 60 specific recommendations – ranging from improving economic and investment laws, regulatory reform, establishing codes of ethics and promoting investigative journalism to promoting internship and exchange programs, encouraging the development of independent business associations and chambers of commerce, and working with individual communities to create local strategies for sustainable development – emerged from the working groups and the plenary sessions in Prague.
Some proposals, such as expanding the OSCE's Youth Entrepreneurship Seminars and related programs and enhancing the economic work of the OSCE field missions, particularly regarding business development, can be undertaken by OSCE institutions. Ultimately, responsibility for implementing these recommendations, and those contained in the OSCE's Maastricht Economic Strategy document, rests with the participating States themselves. It remains to be seen how earnestly and effectively governments will undertake the necessary legislative, institutional and regulatory reforms, thus creating the "level playing field," where businesses – big and small, foreign and domestic – can flourish.
The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent federal agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords. The Commission, created in 1976, is composed of nine Senators, nine Representatives and one official each from the Departments of State, Defense and Commerce.

Cofounder, Malala FundWhen Malala Yousafzai, the young Pakistani activist daring to advocate for girls' education, was shot by the Taliban in 2012, Shiza Shahid, who had met Malala in 2009 at an Islamabad retreat focused on female education, got on a plane. She helped oversee Malala's medical care in London and protect the family from the media circus. ?While I was there by her side, she woke up and said 'I want to continue my campaign.' It was clear that she could now help the world in a way that she hadn't been able to before,? says Shahid. A Stanford grad and McKinsey consultant, Shahid became the 16-year-old's chief strategist on-the-spot. ?How do we think about leveraging her voice in a way that's effective, that brings focus to the issues that matter, and creates a platform that drives all this energy around Malala into meaningful action?? A big part of the answer is the Malala Fund which she cofounded with the teen in 2012 to turn their vision for girls' education into reality. Grants to date: $400,000, half from the World Bank and half from Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. A documentary on Malala's work by Academy Award winner Davis Guggenheim is expected for release in 2014.

While money raised from the Cattlemen's Ball had surpassed the $1 million mark the past three years, including the previous record of $1.49 million raised at West Point in 2011, this year's Cattlemen's Ball surpassed the $2 million plateau, finishing at $2.12 million.
Dr. Ken Cowan, director of the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, said, "What a phenomenal event! We can't say thanks enough for all the people who made it happen.
"A special thanks go to the Hanging H Ranch and to the Holzfaster family and Neal Hansen. They simply did an outstanding job. Starting with the train trip to North Platte and through the entire ball, it was a memorable event. The generosity of the community is absolutely incredible.
"The fantastic support of the Cattlemen's Ball will make a difference in the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. It will advance cancer research and provide new hope for cancer patients and their families and friends."
The Cattlemen's Ball is held annually to promote beef in a healthy diet to showcase rural Nebraska and to raise money for health care research.
"Agriculture plays such an important role in our communities across Nebraska," Ralph Holzfaster said.
"To be able to showcase the state's beef and agriculture industries and raise funds for cancer research at the same time through the Cattlemen's Ball, there just couldn't be a better fit. It was a super event that produced a fantastic result for such a worthy cause," he said.
Event draws 4,300
The Holzfasters recognized all those who made contributions and the volunteer efforts of the local community in helping host the event, which drew more than 4,300 people.
Beverly Holzfaster said, "We're so proud of all our friends and neighbors who stepped forward to help us in this effort. Our goals couldn't have been achieved without the generous support of the donors and volunteers. Ralph and I would like to personally thank all of you for your efforts and contributions to this year's event."
Harchelroad Motors, Inc. of Imperial and Wauneta played a big role in helping exceed the $2 million mark.
The Harchelroads donated a 2013 Special Edition Corvette, which was won by Char Wallin of Imperial.
Ticket sales for the Corvette drawing totalled around $413,000.
A John Deere tractor, donated by Howard Buffet, sold at auction for $285,000 and was purchased by a Holyoke, Colo., farmer.
Volunteers key
Tim Holzfaster, who co-chaired the event with brother Jon Holzfaster, Doug Teaford and Greg Wilke, expressed his appreciation for those working to organize and host the event.
"We couldn't have done without the 45 committee chairpeople and their more than 300 committee members," Tim Holzfaster said. "It was a tremendous effort at the local level."
While 90 percent of the proceeds raised during the annual Cattlemen's Ball goes toward cancer research at the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, the remaining 10 percent is distributed locally as grants for healthcare-related projects.
Formerly known as the University of Nebraska Medical Center Eppley Cancer Center, the facility became the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center earlier this year with approval of the University of Nebraska Board of Regents.
The 2014 Cattlemen's Ball will be held on the Hoot Owl Ranch in Banner County, with Kenny and Misty Stauffer, and Jeff and Kathy May as hosts.
During the past 16 Cattlemen's Ball events, a total of $9.73 million has been raised.
Each site, the year of the annual event and the amount raised is listed below:
Ainsworth, 1998, $95,000; Lexington, 1999, $140,000; Ogallala, 2000, $104,000; Valentine, 2001, $133,000; Valparaiso, 2002, $207,000; Ashland, 2003, $33,000; Brady, 2004, $174,000; Wisner, 2005, $595,000; Milford, 2006, $563,250; Lodgepole, 2007, $480,000; Albion, 2008, $697,000; Doniphan, 2009, $488,000; Kearney, 2010, $1,003,000; West Point, 2011, $1,490,000; McCool Junction, 2012, $1,410,300; Paxton/Sutherland, 2013, $2,120,000.

Thermal Bridges in Building Construction - 3D Structure Between Two Floors
Application ID: 12573
This model studies the heat conduction in a building structure separating two floors from the external environment. Four materials with distinct thermal conductivities k compose the structure. The exterior and interior boundaries are facing environments respectively at 0°C and 20°C. The lowest temperatures on internal surfaces and the heat fluxes through each surface is compared with published data.
This example corresponds to the case 3 described in the European standard EN ISO 10211:2007 for thermal bridges in building constructions.
COMSOL Multiphysics passes successfully all the test cases described by the standard and is hence classified as a three-dimensional steady-state high precision method.

Tom Welles is a surveillance specialist--what used to be known as a "private eye"--but his version of the profession is hardly the stuff to which legends are made. He has modest, home-based practice in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where he lives an existence remarkable only for its normalcy with wife Amy and baby daughter, Cindy. Respected but still waiting for a big break that will improve his professional status, Welles spends most of his time on routine cases involving unfaithful spouses and the like. Nothing too dangerous, not too threatening... until a small, innocuous-looking plastic reel of film turns Welles' life upside down, sending him down a sordid and terrifying path into ...

By Rampreet Kaur, KRI Creative Director
Embodying the Aquarian Teacher is making a choice to take your highest path of service and self-illumination during your lifetime.
Here at KRI we have the task of updating and maintaining The Aquarian Teacher Level One Instructor textbook and manual. A recent addition we wanted to let the Aquarian Teachers out there know about is the addition of a thorough index to the back of the manual and a revised index in the textbook. While the index takes up only a few pages of each book, it is intended as a tool to facilitate your teaching and practice, making it easier to quickly find specific exercises, mantras and benefits within the book. We hope you will find the index a useful addition to the manual, and the edits in the textbook index to be helpful as well.
Yogi Bhajan talked about the "caliber" of a teacher. The Master's Touch (KRI 2000) discusses caliber in the section called "The Caliber of a Teacher," beginning on p. 187. He says: "Caliber is the total capacity of an individual to project one's identity. You do not miss, you do not fail, you do not go wrong, you do not go under. Your caliber does not fail you. Caliber is a basic, consistent power in which a person can project, communicate, and lodge oneself, like a bullet." This teaching was given on July 31, 1996.
In October of 1979, Yogi Bhajan taught a meditation that is featured in the Aquarian Teacher Training Manual called "The Caliber of Life Meditation." In it, you focus your eyes through a "V" shape made with your thumbs and "look through the V like a gunsight." We invite you, the Aquarian Teachers, to practice this meditation and cultivate your own caliber and capacity to aim steady and make direct projected hits in your life and your work.
In addition to The Caliber of Life Meditation, you may also like to explore the "Caliber Kriya," which is featured in Kriya: Yoga Sets, Meditations & Classic Kriyas from the Early Years of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan® (KRI 2013).
"How do you define the Teacher's caliber? The Teacher is not a god, but he is a God-giver. Can you believe this definition? And you have come here to become Teachers. A Teacher is not a god, the Teacher is a God-giver."
© The Teachings of Yogi Bhajan, July 31, 1996

Creamy Dilled Cucumber Salad
Cucumbers are another of summers fresh bounty that I have been enjoying a lot lately. I normally bring home two or more of them from the farmers market every week and I tend to use them in salads or just snack on them as they are. I really like cucumbers on warm summer days as they are nice and juicy and perfect still cool from the fridge. I have however noticed that cucumbers rarely get the attention that they deserve! Every once in a while it is nice to let the humble cucumber shine and to be the star of the show and this cool and creamy cucumber salad is a great way to do so. This is one of those salads where it is nice to make it ahead of time so that you can let the flavours mingle a bit while it chills out in the fridge. The crisp and juicy cucumbers go so well with a creamy coating made slightly tangy by the lemon and the red peppers provide a bit of sweet pungency and of course the dill finishes the salad off perfectly. This salad is best served straight from the fridge while it is still cool which makes it a great way to beat the heat.
Creamy Dilled Cucumber Salad
- 1 large cucumber (sliced)
- 1/4 cup red onion (sliced)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon dill (chopped)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Mix everything and chill in the fridge for 20+ minutes.

New York Comedy Festival 2012
Arts & Entertainment
by nycgo.com staff, 08/08/2012
- more in arts & entertainment/
- events in nyc/
- recently/
Every night of the week all year-round, big-name comics perform in New York City's comedy clubs. Still, even in a City where high-profile shows are commonplace, the New York Comedy Festival, November 7 through 11, brings an unusual concentration of boldface names, including rising stars and old favorites alike.
"We go for the best and biggest that we can find," says Caroline Hirsch—owner of her namesake comedy club, Carolines on Broadway, and the founder and producer of the festival, which this year includes Ricky Gervais and Robin Williams. The event is also notable for putting comics on some of the City's most venerable stages—including the Apollo Theater, Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden.
Here are highlights for all five days of the event. For tickets and more info, check out nycomedyfestival.com.
Wednesday, November 7
A Conversation with Ricky Gervais, Interviewed by John Hodgman at Town Hall
The British jokester, famed for the original version of The Office, chats in Times Square with John Hodgman (the "PC" from those Mac commercials).
Thursday, November 8
Marlon and Shawn Wayans: The Wayans Brothers Live at Carolines on Broadway
Get two Wayanses for the price of one. The duo also performs on November 9 and 10.
Friday, November 9
Aziz Ansari: Buried Alive! at the Apollo Theater
The Parks & Recreation star (who we also loved on Human Giant) plays the Apollo and Carnegie Hall. Not bad. The Carnegie Hall show is on November 10.
Patton Oswalt at Town Hall
Patton Oswalt is not only a comedian, he's also a fine actor—for evidence, see his performance in the film Young Adult. His witty stand-up has earned him three number one comedy albums.
Saturday, November 10
Jim Gaffigan at the Apollo Theater
See the Hot Pockets guy live at the Apollo.
Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain at Madison Square Garden
The star of lots of stuff (including, recently, the movie Think Like a Man) plays a big show at the "World's Most Famous Arena."
An Evening with Bill Maher at The Beacon Theatre
This performance by political comic and Mets part-owner Bill Maher is likely to include provocative statements on hot-button issues.
Sunday, November 11
David Steinberg and Robin Williams Talking About Nothing That Important at the 92nd Street Y
Even in a lineup full of stars, it doesn't get much bigger than a chance to see Robin Williams—Mrs. Doubtfire himself!—in person.

Fresh off an Innocent victory in Mafia XIII it is time to start the next game!
Let's shoot for 25-30 people total. Starting on Monday. However, we need 25 before we start so it may be delayed a day or two to get to 25. So recruit people!
Briefing on rules to follow later tonight or tomorrow morning.
Rules & Roles
Innocents – The villagers of Villagetownville.
Mafia – Sent by the mob bosses from the east they are invading Villagetownville to take its riches.
Recruiter – Marches to the beat of his own drum. He is just as evil as the Mafia but has no affiliation with them.
Villager – Your role is simple. Work together with the fellow innocents to drive evil out of town.
Doctor – You are the protector of the innocents. It is your job to protect the most valuable people in town in the hopes that they will be alive to eliminate all evil that comes their way.
In the event of your death the Mayor will randomly choose another innocent to take your place. However, this also means that you cannot self-protect. You may protect the same person each night. A person under the Doctor's protection is protected from investigation by the Detective, death by the Mafia and recruitment by the Recruiter.
Detective – You learned your role from your ancestors. Like those before you, your job is to root out the evil by investigating the residents of the village. You may investigate one person per night. If you investigate an innocent there is a 20% chance they will become your Deputy. There can be only one Deputy at a time. If the Detective dies the Deputy does not gain his ability to turn another innocent. If you investigate a recruit, he will die. If you investigate the Recruiter, you both will die.
Deputy – An innocent who is lucky enough to be turned by the Detective. Each night you can investigate a person of your choosing. Your investigations are incapable of killing.
Innocents win when all other factions have been eliminated.
Mafia – Like those that came before you, it is your goal to run over the town and reign supreme. You will know who your other Mafia members are and can PM each other.
Each night, every living Mafia member should PM the Mayor their vote on who to kill in the town. The Mafia only needs to achieve a majority in their nightly voting to make a kill.
Mafia wins when all other factions have been eliminated.
Recruiter – Your role is a new one. Unlike the hippie Mafia you work on your own terms and decide which direction your team will take. Your goal is the same as the Mafia's, take over the town.
Each night, PM the Mayor a name of someone you would like to recruit. If the player is a Villager you will recruit that player to your team, with a 10% chance of killing them instead. Beware that if you recruit a Mafia member they will forgo their planned kill for the night and kill you. If you recruit the Detective you and he will kill each other. If you recruit the Deputy, you will kill him. If you recruit the Doctor, he will kill you. Your team of recruits may be no larger than five (5) members at a time, including yourself. Upon conversion a PM will be sent to the Recruiter and recruit to notify them. They may then begin to communicate over PM.
Recruiter and his recruits win when all other factions have been eliminated.
Special Rules
1. No posting of a PM sent by the Mayor
2. No editing of posts
3. No outside communication regarding the game (PMs, IMs, personal conversations)
4. Only the Mafia and the Recruiter's faction may PM.
5. Day is from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M., night will be the other 12 hours, unless noted Saturday from 9 A.M. to Sunday 9 P.M. is one "day".
6. Ghosting in lounge is preferred.
7. One million credits to be split among winning team.
8. Not voting for two consecutive days – You will die a tragic death. Maybe with lightning.
9. Starting on Day 2 - Each player must post three times per day, not including a vote - If the post minimum is not met for two consecutive days you will die a tragic death. Maybe with lightning. Or fire ants. Perhaps from The Clap.
10. Have fun!
$1 Million, divided equally among the winners

Annual sales
Of the top 10 in sales, only Johnson & Johnson, Abbott, and Roche were able to grow revenues; the others fell back into negative territory. Next: Enterprise value.
Enterprise value growth
Despite the negative sales growth, overall enterprise value in the 24 rose by 13 percent. Gilead exhibited enterprise value growth of nearly 120 percent, followed by Actavis, at 101 percent, and Novo Nordisk, at slightly more than 38 percent. Next: Enterprise value to sales
Enterprise value to sales
The higher the ratio here, the assumption is there is additional forward momentum—the company is just getting started; the sky's the limit. A low ratio suggests the opposite: a company's best growth prospects are behind it. Gilead again cut a big swath through this ratio, nearly doubling its performance compared to 2011. Next: Gross margin
Gross margin
Gross margin reflects pricing power, as expressed by the ability of a company to secure a generous mark up for its goods. The higher the margin, the more pricing power a company has in hand. Celgene earned the highest markup, at slightly over 90 percent, increasing it by five basis points over 2011. You don't want to see gross margin decrease, but this is what happened to Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, GSK, AstraZeneca, Lilly, Amgen, Hospira, and Endo. Next: Net income to sales.
Net income to sales
The Net Income to Sales table measures how well a company manages its pricing and controls expenses. While gross margin was constant for the year, overall profitability decreased, from 26.2 percent to 24.9 percent, suggesting a trend toward pricing power erosion and SG&A expenses that surged out of control. Next: Sales to assets.
Sales to assets
Sales to assets is another way of reflecting how a company manages those margins by capitalizing on its inventory of assets. For every dollar invested in assets, how much sales revenue is generated? Novo Nordisk is at the top with a very efficient, productive ratio of 1.19; that is, for every dollar Novo Nordisk invests in assets, that dollar generates $1.19 in revenues. Next: Net income to assets
Net income to assets
The Net Income to Assets table shows an overall average decrease in this metric against the previous year. It is also evidences some pronounced contrasts: the most impressive number is Novo Nordisk's — at 32.88, it is higher than some firms' gross margins. Roche, again, is second, at 15.10. Next: And the Winner is...
And the Winner is...
Novo Nordisk!
The Danish market leader in the diabetes franchise is followed by Gilead, Biogen-Idec, Celgene, and Roche.

we have a gal setup with all the contacts in our org.
when I begin typing in the web interface of zimbra, autocomplete works.
when I begin typing a name in the zdesktop interface, no autocomplete (unless I've already typed, or sent mail to, that person's address before...)
Any ideas?
Many of us are having the same problem.

HOW TO USE: If you are using the over-the-counter product, read all directions on the product package before using this medication. If your doctor has prescribed this medication, use it exactly as directed.Apply 1 drop to the affected eye(s), usually twice a day (every 8 to 12 hours) or as directed by the package instructions or your doctor.Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.Ask your doctor if you can wear contact lenses while you are being treated with this medication. If your doctor says you may continue wearing them, remove them before using the eye drops, and wait at least 10 minutes after each dose before putting in your lenses. Do not use this medication to treat irritation from contact lens wear. Consult your doctor about the use of contact lenses when the eyes are red or irritated.Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and apply 1 drop in the lower eyelid. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye.Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use, and keep the bottle tightly closed.If you are using another kind of eye medication (drops or ointment), wait at least 5 minutes before applying it. Apply eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.If your doctor has prescribed this medication, use it regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Continue to use this medication as prescribed until pollen season is over or you are no longer exposed to the allergic substance, even when allergic symptoms disappear or improve.If your condition persists or worsens, if you develop new symptoms, or if you think you have a serious medical problem, seek immediate medical attention.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Like the holiday season, back-to-school shopping has started early.
"Retailers started promotions, deals, sales even before the Fourth of July, which is really shocking to many people," says NerdWallet.com's Matthew Ong.
So, waiting to buy certain trendy clothes and shoes may mean missing out.
"If your kids are asking for something specific, especially if it's tied to a hot summer movie, I would urge parents to get those things early so they don't sell out," says RetailMeNot.com's Trae Bodge.
For basic supplies however, the best deals may be yet to come.
"Buy enough in August or July to get your child through the first couple of months of the school year, and then, look for sort of the rest to beef up your inventory in September, and even after that, in October," Ong says.
Research those big ticket items.
Ong says, "Do your comparison shopping early and online, and know that the season is a long season. So, know that you do have some time."
Although online shopping is a breeze, retailers may still have surprises in store.
"Stores are going to be doing a lot of interesting things to incentivize the consumer to come into the store and then push them all the way through the register. So, that we will see some interesting trends there for back to school, and very much so in the holiday season as well," Trae Bodge says.
And Consumer Reports reccomends that you also take advantage of Web-only specials, free shipping and discount codes to save online on your back to school shopping.

After avoiding it for...ever, I finally broke down and figured I need to use it to make 3d terrains for little games I'm making, and it actually is really addicting, so I figured I should summarize how to do it.
In photoshop, gimp, or any 2d drawing program you make a heightmap by drawing various shades of gray which you can use to generate terrain depth. So I like to take a google earth image and replace the colors in solid shades of gray, then replace the shades with textures and turn it into a world.
I started with this image from the grand canyon I edited a bit:
The black will be the lowest part, and the lightest shade will be the top of the canyon.
I copy and replace sections of that in photoshop and replace with copied sections of my textures. (I would have just brushed them on with a layer mask but my brush pattern was ****ing me off and not working right.)
Once it's textured you have to flip it both horizontally and vertically.
Which gives something like this:
And when you turn it into a 3d model you get:
I made a video of the steps as well. I use Blender (it's free), photoshop cs4, and Unity 3d game engine. (Unity has it's own terrain editor which is far more user friendly, but much higher polygon so I can't use it on mobiles...)
You can make a heightmap much bigger, and cut it into smaller squares, and generate meshes for each chunk to put together in the game (better performance if it can stop drawing chunks not being seen which you can do if it's in segments)

Hiya, and welcome to the Guild!
Heinrich Zweihander is not my true name; this is the name of my character in the main role-playing game I play. By extension, this is also the pseudonym I use on the web and the one you shall call me. And I don't speak German.
In this role-playing game we use a lot of map. I'm working a lot with inkscape to have easily modifiable maps. This particularly useful for a battle report. (example below of my work)
I also sometimes draw maps for other projects when I have one, but this is usually done by hand.
I'm done with my introduction. I hope I'll enjoy sharing with you !
Hiya, and welcome to the Guild!

SAN FRANCISCO - Tech's other hot IPO candidate is hurtling toward its day on Wall Street.
King.com, the London-based maker of Candy Crush Saga, has quietly filed an S-1 document with the Securities and Exchange Commission worth an estimated $5 billion, according to a report in London's Daily Telegraph, citing an anonymous source.
USA TODAY could not immediately confirm the report. King had no comment.
King's reported filing is similar to the one that allowed Twitter to keep its IPO confidential last week. King hired a chief financial officer, Hope Cochran, this week. She held the same title at Clearwire, which built the first 4G network in the USA and merged with Sprint in 2012.
Both anticipated public stock offerings come amid a dearth of tech public offerings. Just one in six new U.S. listings this year have been tech-related stocks, making 2013 potentially the second-worst showing in 20 years, according to data provider Dealogic. At the height of the dot-com boom, in 1999, 69% of all IPOs were technology or Internet companies.
The 22 tech-related U.S. IPOs this year - out of 134 - have raised $3.4 billion.
Tech's lag is a clear byproduct of Facebook's disappointing IPO debut in May 2012. Before it, Zynga stumbled out of the IPO gate in December 2011.
King could trigger more tech-centric public offerings, including long-rumored IPOs for Box and Dropbox in 2014.

Hi All
I have written this little vbscript to convert Thunderbird TAB delimited contacts file (export from Thunderbird) to Zimbra csv contacts file - for import to Zimbra.
-- note that script was updated on 10/18 to use TAB delimited format from Thunderbird instead of CSV.
Download the attached file and change the extension from txt to vbs.
To use it, type conzimbra.vbs sourcefilename.csv targetfilename.csv
where sourcefilename.csv is the name of the exported Thunderbird csv file,
and targetfilename.csv is the name of the new contacts csv file for Zimbra.
I have only used this script with Thunderbird 1.5 and Zimbra 3.1.
Hope this script will be useful to you.
This vbs script converts the csv contacts file exported from Thunderbird into Zimbra format csv contacts file - so that you can import your Thunderbird contacts into Zimbra 3.1.
To run this script, download and unzip the conzimbra file to get the conzimbra.vbs file
Export the contacts from your Thundert to a csv file, say, thunder1.csv.
Then run this command in the command window (go to Start->Run, and type cmd).
conzimbra.vbs thunder1.csv zimbra1.csv
zimbra1.csv is the output Zimbra contacts file you use to import contacts into Zimbra.
NOTE: This script only works with recent versions of Thunderbird. Your Thunderbird contacts should have the First Name and Last Name fields filled; otherwise you will see a lot of blanks in the Contacts page of Zimbra.

ROANOKE, Va. (AP) - Shoppers in Virginia and West Virginia have helped the supermarket chain Kroger distribute more than $100,000 to the USO.
The funds were raised by Kroger's Mid-Atlantic region, which is based in Roanoke and operates 120 stores in six states, many in the Virginias.
Kroger says the USO giving is part of its 'Honoring Our Heroes" program to support the nation's soldiers and their families. All told, the Kroger program has raised nearly $8 million to support the USO.
The USO provides programs and entertainment to American military personnel and their families.

Fine Wine Brokers was founded in 1994 with a simple mission: to bring good wine to our neighbors. Twenty years later, we still cater to every taste and budget.
The store was a passion of the late Gary Rohr and his business partner Philip Bernstein. Gary and Philip met through their dogs on Osterman Beach in Edgewater sometime in the 80's. They always talked about starting a business and in 1994 they finally did. Since then, the shop has expanded from a single storefront on Lincoln Avenue to three times it's original size! The business has also added another store, The Artisan Cellars at the Merchandise Mart.
We carry mostly small-medium production wines, spirits, and craft beers. Gary once said "small, medium, large- it doesn't matter. If it doesn't deliver a good value, I'm not going to carry it." We agree. We taste each and every wine, beer, and spirit before we buy it. Hey, it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.
Gary was passionate about "demystifying the aura of the wine industry". We carry on that spirit with our weekly free wine tastings. The easiest way to learn about wine is to taste it, so we offer free tastings every Saturday (1:00-4:00) It's always fun, and we guarantee* that you'll walk away with some new information! More formal tastings and classes are scheduled throughout the year to support various community charities and organizations. If you'd like to participate, the current calendar can be found on the Events page.
As a neighborhood shop, we want all of our neighbors to feel welcome. Since the shop owes it's existence to a couple of gregarious pups, dogs are always welcome and will be offered a treat. If any of your other 4 legged friends would like to come, we'd love to see them! Of course children, strollers, and even teenagers are welcome as long as they're accompanied by an adult.
*If you don't learn something new, we'll refund the price of your admission!

- Novak Djokovic on his struggles during this clay-court season
Does this quote really need a comment? Ok fine. Nole, please find your balls before Roland Garros. Or 2011. Kthx.
[Photo(s): Getty]
Labels: Novak Djokovic, player quotes, tennis
While I commiserate with the allergies/pollen claim (the pollen count was the highest this spring that they've seen in decades!), Nole really needs to stop blaming losses on smaller issues. I get that they can affect him, but it just sounds... petty.ReplyDelete
is that adidas on his feet? so the taccini deal was only for his clothes?ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Have you ever had any problems with allergies?? I did and it's just not possible to breath normally or to do anything!
I know what he's talking about and I completely understand him!
Yeah I actually have really bad allergies and I know how horrible it can make you feel - not fun. So I'm not saying that what he's said isn't true (we can only speculate) but saying this publicly doesn't help his reputation for blaming losses/withdrawals. He's inviting more criticism.
I'm surprised his publicists don't advise him to keep this info to himself. Just say something like "I've had my challenges during this clay-court season but I've done pretty well considering. What's important is to peak at RG and that's my goal." It's boilerplate stuff but bringing up allergies when you're clearly struggling with your game just sounds like you're making excuses.
That was my point.
Maybe you're right Rick, but it's the truth after all, right? Allergies are a serious problem and we all know that Nole has got breathing problems like forever... I don't think he's making excuses, but you could see him on court blowing his nose all the time. Poor thing, I feel for the guy. He's going through a very difficult time, I just really hope that he gets it all together and starts being the champion we all know soon.ReplyDelete

Related Media: Appendectomy
An appendectomy is the removal of the appendix. The appendix is a pouch that is attached to the large intestine.
An appendectomy is often done as an emergency operation to treat
appendicitis. Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. It can be caused by an infection or obstruction.
Complications are rare but no procedure is completely free of risk. Your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Some risk factors that make complications more likely include:
Your doctor may do the following:
Antibiotics will be started right away. Appendicitis is an emergency condition. Surgery is almost always done right away.
General anesthesia
will be used. You will be asleep with a temporary breathing tube in place.
A short incision will be made in the right lower abdomen. The doctor will be able to see the appendix through this cut. The appendix will be detached from surrounding tissue. The surgeon will stop any bleeding from blood vessels. The appendix will then be tied off and cut out. The incisions will then be closed with stitches or staples.
If the appendix has ruptured, a warm water solution mixed with antibiotics will be used to wash out the inside of the abdomen. A catheter (tube) will then be placed to drain any fluid that builds up. Sometimes, with a rupture, the surgeon will only close the muscle layers and leave the skin open. The open skin wound will then be packed with a moist gauze dressing.
The removed tissue is examined by a pathologist.
1-2 hours
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. You may be given medicine to manage any pain.
You may be in the hospital for
0-3 days. If the appendix has ruptured, expect to stay for several days or more than a week.
Recovery takes about 4-6 weeks.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occur:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

BlackBerry mobile phones are loved for their classic QWERTY keyboards and social-orientated apps like BBM.
BlackBerry is one of the most iconic mobile phone brands around, after years of producing incredibly popular devices. BlackBerry made us fall in love with physical QWERTY keyboards, and popularised one of the first social messaging apps in BBM. Now with BlackBerry OS, we're seeing even more amazing features like BlackBerry Assistant, BlackBerry Hub and BlackBerry Blend. It looks like legendary company is back to its best. See our BlackBerry deals below.
We've got the best BlackBerry mobile phones on offer at affordable prices. We love the powerful BlackBerry Passport, which, with its square display, likes to do things a little differently. A physical QWERTY keyboard doubles as an extension to the screen, by responding to touch gestures. That means you can scroll up and down web pages by sliding your finger over the keys. Of course, a battery life that yields up to 30 of hours of use is another highlight.
Another favourite is the BlackBerry Classic, which rejuvenates the familiar look and feel of previous models, with updated features and components. The display is touch sensitive for better control. The camera shoots epic photos in 8-megapixels. And the battery lasts up to an impressive 22 hours after mixed usage. It's the BlackBerry mobile phone you know and love, with more power than ever! Take a look at our BlackBerry deals to find the best plan for you.

For The Intelligencer
ATHENS - Martins Ferry knew it was in for a big challenge coming to Ohio University Wednesday night.
It took just about two minutes for the Purple Riders to fully realize it after the state-ranked Ironton Tigers scored the first seven points of the contest basically in the blink of an eye.
From there, outside of a few first-half mini spurts by the Riders, it was all Tigers, who cruised to a 85-54 victory in the Division III regional semifinal at the Convo on the campus of Ohio University.
Ironton, now 22-2, will return to OU on Saturday night to meet Oak Hill, which dispatched Piketon in the nightcap, for a trip to the Division III State Final Four. Martins Ferry, meanwhile, finished its season with a 14-9 record, after putting together an impressive tournament run.

Ironton 14 22 31 18 - 85
"That's a very, very good basketball team we just faced," said Martins Ferry head coach Jeff Sabatino. "I thought we fought back well in the first half, but we just ran out of gas. We play physical, but they're more physical, athletic and fast. They were everything everyone said they were and more. I hope they win the whole thing."
The Riders, who never led in the game, found themselves down 14-10 after one and the margin was 36-25 at the half.
However, the Tigers outscored the Riders, 31-14 in the third. Zac Carter and Trey Fletcher did much of the damage. Fletcher scored 10 points in that period alone.
While the Tigers' duo was filling it up, Martins Ferry senior Cody Schau did everything he could to help keep his team in it.
Schau capped his impressive prep career with a 32-point outburst. He knocked down 14-of-24 shots from the field. He also grabbed five rebounds.
Senior Tyler Strama, who is the Riders' heart-and-soul, banged his way to 10 points and four rebounds. Junior Robert Vargo finished with 10 points and five points.
Though the outcome wasn't what Sabatino, the players or the large following of Rider faithful, which made the trip had hoped for, it won't dampen or overshadow the accomplishments that the Riders put forth.
"I am proud of my guys," Sabatino said.
