Casual and laidback, Knysna's bustling food emporium claims that it's "not exactly a restaurant, not exactly a bar, definitely not a deli... well, not exactly a deli... it's an eating place, a drinking place and definitely a meeting place". Well, it's a good place to be if you enjoy fresh seafood and fancy a bit of shopping. 34 South is also "a gift shop, a clothing emporium, a food store, a fish monger and a bakery, too. And the finest wine shop this side of the grape curtain!"
Start with a platter of freshly shucked wild coastal oysters still tasting of salt and sea. Tuck into calamari (tubes, heads and steaks) and mussels (in and out the shell) done in many ways - in vinaigrette, masala, with peri-peri or with wine and garlic. The herring comes six ways, the fish pates four and the mezze too many ways to mention.
Traditional Greek, Spanish and Portuguese themes run through an eclectic menu that highlights Mediterranean flavours - with chicken, ostrich and vegetarian options for diners averse to seafood. With tastebuds still tingling from oysters and bubbly, the mains are sure to tantalise.
Signature dishes tempt with fresh linefish brought in through the Knysna heads, east-coast sole, linefish espetada, Portuguese sardines, jambalaya and seafood paella.

Fluid-Structure Interaction in a Network of Blood Vessels
Application ID: 660
This model refers to a portion of the vascular system of a young child - the upper part of the aorta artery. The blood vessels are embedded in a biological tissue (the cardiac muscle) and, during the flow of blood, pressure is applied to the internal surfaces producing deformation of the vessel walls.
The complete analysis consists of two distinct but coupled procedures: a fluid-dynamics analysis with the calculation of the velocity field and pressure distribution in the blood (variable in time and in space) and the mechanical analysis with the deformation of the tissue and artery. The material is assumed to be nonlinear and a hyperelastic model is used.

Motorists are reminded to watch for deer along roadways, especially this time of year, because juvenile animals are dispersing from their home ranges.
October through early December is the peak period for deer-vehicle accidents. Motorists are advised to slow down and exercise caution after dark to reduce the likelihood of encounters with deer along roadways. Most deer-vehicle accidents occur primarily at dawn and dusk when deer are most often moving around.
The deadline is months away, but now is the time to frame the perfect photograph for a contest that will determine the cover of the 2014 Private Land Open To Sportsmen guide.
From end-of-day hunting shots, to scenic action or landscape shots, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department wants to feature hunter photos on the 2014 PLOTS cover and elsewhere that showcase North Dakota's strong hunting heritage.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department urges deer hunters to find their license and check it for accuracy.
Every year the Game and Fish Department's licensing section receives last-minute inquiries from hunters who can't find their license. When that happens, it's difficult to try to get a replacement license in time for the season opener.
Another reason to check the license now is to make sure the unit and species is what was intended.
Out-of-state hunters are reminded that state law does not allow nonresidents to hunt on North Dakota Game and Fish Department owned or managed lands during the first week of the pheasant season.
Private Land Open to Sportsmen acreage and state wildlife management areas are open to hunting by resident hunters only from Oct. 12-18. Nonresidents, however, can still hunt those days on other state-owned and federal lands, or private land.
North Dakota hunters are reminded to be cautious on roadways, as farmers and ranchers are currently busy with fall farm duties.
With most hunting seasons open and producers harvesting crops, moving cattle and hauling bales, road traffic is busy at times, even on rural gravel roads. With that in mind, hunters are asked to move to the side of the road to allow wide farm vehicles to pass, park their vehicles in a place that will not block a roadway, field approach or gate, pick up trash and empty shells, and not clean game in the road ditch or approach.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is taking orders for its North Dakota OUTDOORS calendar, the source for all hunting season and application dates for 2014. Along with outstanding color photographs of North Dakota wildlife and scenery, it also includes sunrise-sunset times and moon phases.
To order, send $3 for each, plus $1 postage, to: Calendar, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, 100 N. Bismarck Expressway, Bismarck, ND 58501-5095. Be sure to include a three-line return address with your order, or the post office may not deliver our return mailing.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's annual fall wetland survey indicates good wetland conditions for duck hunting throughout most of the state.
Mike Szymanski, migratory game bird biologist, said the northwest has a record number of wetlands, while the rest of the state has wetland numbers similar to the 2003-12 average.
"Most areas are wetter than last year, with poorest conditions in the southern half of the state," Szymanski said.
North Dakota's two-day youth pheasant season is Oct. 5-6. Legally licensed residents and nonresidents ages 15 and younger may hunt roosters statewide.
Resident youth hunters, regardless of age, must possess a fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate and general game and habitat license. Nonresident youth hunters from states that provide a reciprocal licensing agreement for North Dakota residents qualify for North Dakota resident licenses. Otherwise, nonresident youth hunters must purchase a nonresident small game license.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department and North Dakota Bowhunters Association are sponsoring a National Archery in the Schools Program workshop in Bismarck for educators interested in teaching archery to students in grades 4-12.
The NASP workshop is scheduled Oct. 17-18 at the NISHU Archery Complex, 1409 Riverwood Drive. Participants will complete the workshop with basic or improved archery skills, and will possess the fundamentals to teach students.
While the fall fishing bite will eventually fade, efforts to monitor the presence of aquatic nuisance species in North Dakota waters continue.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department urges local entities and water recreationists to check for new aquatic nuisance species infestations when pulling and storing fishing piers, boat docks and lifts prior to ice up.
Even though results from this summer's survey indicated the bighorn sheep population in western North Dakota remains steady, State Game and Fish Department biologists are concerned about a significant decline in the number of adult rams.
Brett Wiedmann, big game biologist in Dickinson, said the July-August survey showed a minimum of 299 bighorn sheep, unchanged from last year and only 17 percent below 2008's record summer survey.
The 2013 fall wild turkey lottery has been held and more than 930 licenses remain in seven units. Unsuccessful applicants who applied online will have a refund issued directly to their credit card.
Beginning Sept. 27, all remaining licenses will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. Hunters are allowed a maximum of 15 licenses for the fall season.

Free Beer rallies from last to win Friday's feature race
AUBURN, Wash. (June 8, 2012) – A horse with a popular name—Free Beer—flew home for a thrilling 1-¼-length victory over Shamundi in the $11,100 feature race for 3-year-olds-and-up Friday night at Emerald Downs.
Rallying from some 12 lengths back under Rocco Bowen, Free Beer rallied furiously in the final furlong, passing six horses, for the victory in 1:37.74 for one mile on a sloppy track.
Free Beer paid $20.40, $8.20 and $4.40. Joe Toye is the trainer for owners Bill Jensen and Don Crow.
Shamundi, ridden by Jose Zunino, took the lead briefly in the final sixteenth-of-a-mile, but had to settle for second place and paid $4.40 and $3.40. The consistent 4-year-old gelding has finished first, second or third in 15 of 16 career starts.
Ricky Ricky, ridden by apprentice Eliska Kubinova, finished in third place and paid $4.60. Emancipated, the early leader, finished fourth, and was followed by Advancement, 5-to-2 betting favorite Win Photos Will Do and Touch the Sun.
Free Beer lagged in last place as Emancipated and Advancement dueled for the lead through fractions of :22.99, :46.01 and 1:24.04. The eventual winner raced far wide through the last turn, responded to brisk urging and wore down the leaders late.
A 6-year-old Kentucky-bred gelding by Medaglia d'Oro, Free Beer has a lifetime record of 4-3-4 in 32 starts with earnings of $56,272.
The $0.50 Pick 5 (6-1/5-7-3/6-4/5/7/10) paid $5.434.10.
NOTES: The 10-year-old gelding Chickasaw Park ($4.60) notched his 13th career Emerald Downs' victory in the seventh race finale under Leonel Camacho-Flores. Chickasaw Park is second to Noosa Beach (14 wins) for most wins by an active horse at Emerald Downs, and has a career record of 14 wins in 64 starts for trainer/co-owner H.R. Pat Mullens…Mullens and Joe Toye led the trainers with two wins each Friday…Seven different jockeys rode winners including Juan Gutierrez, who ranks first with 29 wins through 26 days…Live racing continues Saturday at 2:15 p.m. The featured ninth race is the $10,000 Stella Artois Purse for 3-year-olds and up at 6-½ furlongs. The evenly-match field of eight includes Polish Dollar (3-to-1), Buddy Dave (7-to-2) and Who's Your Next Ex (4-to-1), who have a combined 22 victories at Emerald Downs.

1967 Buick Grand Sport 400 - Improve Your Car's Ride And HandlingWritten by on January 18, 2009 Install A Street Challenge Air Suspension On Your '64-'72 GM A-Body And...
In recent years, makers of air bag suspension systems have waged a highly effective campaign to earn credibility among misinformed skeptics. The nay-sayers are haunted by the misguided assumption that air suspension is for tubby boulevard cruisers and 18-wheelers-not performance cars. While this used to be a valid assessment, it's totally out to lunch in the modern arena.
The big difference is that today's air-spring systems-like those offered by Air Ride Technologies-are complete kits that come with specifically matched springs, shock absorbers, sway bars, and, perhaps most importantly, fabricated suspension control arms and spindles with revised geometry to maximize the handling benefit caused by the altered ride height. Add it all together and the result is a unique combination of improved suspension geometry (for maximized tire contact and adhesion) and reduced body roll, but with the air-only benefits of a smoother ride and the ability to adjust ride height to suit your tastes.
To spread the good word, Air Ride Technologies has gone so far as to sponsor an annual Street Challenge event where drivers are invited to compare their standard metal-sprung cars against cars riding on air. These events are held at Putnam Park Road Course in Greencastle, Indiana-a 1.8 mile road course featuring 10 unforgiving turns. At the '06 event, professional road racer Boris Said generated an amazing 1.1 g in an Air Ride-equipped '67 Chevelle wearing a set of BFGoodrich G-Force tires. His best lap time around the course was 32.23 seconds. Then he jumped into a similar Chevelle-sitting on its stock Super Sport metal coil spring suspension-and ran the circuit in 37.36 seconds, 5 seconds slower.
So there's little doubt that air suspension has arrived. But how easy is it to install? To find out, Rodney Mason and Brad Coomer descended on CC publisher John Gallagher's daily-driven '67 Buick Gran Sport 400. We followed along and were surprised at how it's a pretty basic change-out operation where it's out with the old, in with the new.
At just over $6,000, the complete Street Challenge package shown here can't really be considered a budget bolt-on, but if you're looking for a track tested (and proven) suspension system that delivers a better ride than metal-based counterparts and lets you play with different ride height settings for enhanced cornering-or just bitchin' stance-look no further. And remember, though this installation centers on the STR2000 kit for '64-'67 GM A-bodies, Street Challenge kits are also available for '68-'72 GM A-bodies, Tri-Five Chevys, '58-'64 X-frame Chevys, '62-'74 Novas, '67-'81 Camaros, '78-'88 GM G-bodies, '63-'06 Chevy pickup trucks, and all '64-'70 and '79-'04 Mustangs.

This '67 Buick belongs to CC publisher John Gallagher. He scored it for 4K off the street. So far, he has only blown up the engine once.Starting at the front of the car, Air Ride's Brad Coomer removed the entire suspension assembly using a floor jack to safely release the coil springs. We're keeping the stock front disc brakes-for now-so the calipers were simply detached and hung out of the way with no need to break into the hydraulic system.The stock coil spring pockets must be trimmed to fit the larger diameter of the air springs. Air Ride Technologies' Rodney Mason used a pneumatic cutoff wheel to get the job done. Does the trimming weaken the area? Rod says, "No way. There are so many overlapping bits of metal here, it makes no impact on strength." Just be sure to make curved cuts and avoid hard 90-degree intersections between cuts that could form stress risers.Here's a comparison of the stock Buick front suspension goodies and the Air Ride replacements. The tubular Strong Arms are fabricated from mild steel and feature polyurethane bushings and heavy-duty ball joints. When measured, the new parts are nearly twice as resistant to load flex than the stock stampings, but weigh about the same.It is crucial to ensure that the Shockwave air springs can't come into contact with the trimmed edges of the frame pockets. If you can't slide a finger between the rubber bladder and the nearest bit of metal, they're too close. A little tweaking of the trimmed edge with a wrench finished the job.The upper control arm, air spring, and lower control arm bolted in place without drama. We love that there's no hassling with a coil spring compressor. If the installation team looks familiar, that's because both Rodney (shown) and Brad are regulars on the hit TV show Overhaulin'. If there's an Air Ride Technologies suspension added to the subject vehicle, these guys show up to install it.The kit includes custom forged G-Force spindles that are 2 inches taller and feature a 2-inch drop. The scheme ensures a proper camber pattern under a wide range of ride height settings so the tire contact patch remains maximized. The greasy stock spindle went into the scrap bin.With the front suspension assembled, the spindle gets dropped 3 inches (half of the total travel) from its fully compressed position. A digital angle finder was then mounted to the brake rotor so camber and caster settings could be made. On power-steering A-bodies like this Buick, Rod likes 3 to 5 degrees of positive caster,1/2 to 1 degree of negative camber, and 1/16 to 1/8 inch of toe-in. On manual-steer A-bodies, Rod sets caster at 0 degrees to decrease low-speed steering effort. All these settings must be done by a competent alignment shop on modern equipment. If you're lacking, it is OK to temporarily set it all to zero-using the digital angle finder and with the suspension dropped 3 inches-then drive the car to a good alignment shop ASAP for adjustment. Resist temptation to drive anywhere else; misalignment can wreck the front rubber in a jiffy.The Street Challenge kit includes a tubular 11/4-inch Muscle Bar front sway bar with trick Posi-Link end links. Compared with the stock-type rubber-bushed end link (left), the C6 Corvette-inspired Posi-Link features encased ball joints on each end and is virtually solid. The result is that the roll bar reacts instantly to body roll. By contrast, rubber-bushed end links compress momentarily and delay the onset of roll bar influence. Great for boulevard ride, bad for maximum suspension performance.
The optional Level Pro self-leveling feature uses vehicle ride height sensors at each corner. The sensors contain an electrical rheostat that sends a variable chemical signal from 0-5 volts to the ECU, which then signals air valves to feed air from the onboard air reservoir to maintain-or alter-vehicle ride height as needed. The total range of adjustment is 6 inches. The sensors must be affixed to the frame with the suspension at midtravel (3 inches from full compression). The end links between the upper control arm and sensor lever are made from flexible synthetic rubber for easy mounting. The system runs at 130 to 150 psi and uses a combination of hard Teflon air feed lines and brass fittings to route the air.The front Shockwave air-spring units feature built-in shock absorbers with dual damping adjustment knobs. Each knob has 16 individual settings and between them, 256 compression/rebound combinations are possible. Rod says the best place to start is to set the compression knob at 3 and the rebound knob at 8.At the rear of the car, the stock coil springs dropped right out after the shock absorbers were removed. It is best to swap one control arm at a time rather than pull all four and deal with a flopping rear axle as you work.Like the front control arms, the Street Challenge kit includes superior tubular steel replacements. A major cause of axle hop on GM A-bodies is flexing of the stock U-channel control arms and bushing compression. Strong Arms feature 0.188 wall thickness and polyurethane bushings for rigidity. The tubular upper control arms are more compact than OE arms, yielding added clearance for large-diameter exhaust pipes in this chronically tight area.If your A-body is a Buick, Olds, or Pontiac, chances are the rear axle is a BOP-style 10-bolt with capped coil spring pads. They must be decapitated as shown to accept the bottom end of the rear air spring. Chevy-sourced '64-'66 10- and 12-bolt axles feature flat spring pads that are good to go without slicing.The stock rear coil springs gave way to Cool Ride air springs with separate adjustable shock absorbers. The upper ends of the air springs fit into the frame pockets and are retained by large cotter pins so they can't drop out during assembly. Once they're in place, it's simple to lift the axle with a jack and install the rear shocks so they are trapped in position.Like the Shockwave air spring / shock absorber combinations used at the front suspension, the individual rear shock absorbers supplied with the Street Challenge kit feature dual 16-position compression / rebound adjustment knobs. Get started by setting the compression knob (left) at 1 and the rebound knob (right) at 3.
The rear ride height sensors mount between the frame and lower control arms. Like the front sensors, they must be mounted so the lever is at midstroke when the rear suspension is 3 inches up from fully bottomed out.The beautiful part is how the air compressor, reservoir tank, ECU, air feed valves, and solenoids are all permanently mounted to the self- contained Air Pod module. Just bolt it to the trunk floor over the rear axle, plumb it to the air feed lines running to each corner of the suspension, and you're good to go.Ride height tuning is done by pushing buttons on the VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) control panel. You can store your three favorite ride heights and with the push of a button, toggle between them at will. Best of all, the remote control key fob controller (bottom) lets you adjust ride height settings from a distance. It's just like magic.With the air springs fully pumped up, ride height is about an inch higher than stock. Rolling stock on this Buick GS consists of Boyds 17x8 front and 17x9.5 rear wheels with 4.25- and 5.50-inch backspacing, respectively. They're shod with Toyo Proxes T1R tires, size 265/40ZR17 rear, 255/45ZR17 front.At the lowest setting, the body settles 6 inches for a bitchin' slammed-in-the-weeds look. Typical street and track operation is best with the ride set right in the middle. Of course, it is entirely up to you to make sure that your particular wheel and tire combination has sufficient body and frame clearance at all suspension settings and steering angles. On our Buick, the big 17-inch hoops were OK at the rear, but the front tires hit the front fender lips at the lowest settings, so that'd be purely for static display. As the stance increased, we got more full-lock front tire clearance but were only fully safe at maximum ride height. Adding 1/2 inch of front wheel backspacing and slightly smaller tires would solve these issues on our car. Yo, Gallagher, order up another set of front hoops!

Ravens Safety a Surprise Visitor at Baltimore High School
Baltimore Ravens safety James Ihedigbo interrupted a routine school day with a visit to a Baltimore high school, challenging students to attend school each day and, as an extra motivation, dangled a chance for a seat at a Ravens game this season for students who respond to what he calls the "Diggz Attendance Challenge."
On Oct. 15 at Ben Franklin High School in south Baltimore, nearly 300 students crowded into the auditorium to hear Ihedigbo, called Diggz in the locker room, encourage Baltimore youth to not only stay in school but to show up each day.
"This will encourage them to see the benefits of their attendance," Ihedigbo told reporters. "When you miss school you are missing assignments and you're giving up on your responsibility."
He said, as a Ravens player, this was his opportunity to impact children.
"I hope we all can do it," Jahmal Eggleston, 18, told the AFRO. "I already have perfect attendance, and the hopes of going to a football game for free is cool."
During the hour-long speech, he told students that when he was growing up he knew that in order to achieve any goal, he would have to work hard.
"While my friends would have the summer off, I was in summer school getting my grades up because I knew I wanted to play college football," he said.
"It was up to me to do the things I hoped to accomplish," Ihedigbo told students.
Ihedigo will visit a total of 10 Baltimore City public high schools throughout the football season. The school with the best attendance wins the challenge. He will select a group of students from the winning school to receive VIP treatment at a Ravens game.
"One lucky school and a few lucky students will be my VIP guests when the Ravens play the Vikings on Dec. 8," he said to the students. He didn't give details about what VIP treatment will entail.
The winners will also be the subjects of an awards ceremony and a dinner hosted by Ihedigbo, who said he would probably bring some of his teammates along with him.
Its all about being able to give back to the students and encourage them and keep them moving in the right direction, he told the reporters who showed up to observe his visit at Ben Franklin.
"Let's challenge each other and get this thing going," he said.
Ben Franklin principal Chris Battaglia said the player's "message was about education…and it was not about football, which I thought was really important."
Ihedigbo said when you encourage students to stay in school, to meet the attendance challenge and do the required work, it helps improve their grades and they will see results.
"It shows them the benefits of being disciplined," he said.
"To hear him talk strictly about education was a plus. He wanted kids to know what they needed to do to become a pro in the school, not in sports," Battaglia told the AFRO.

|Green, gold baseball coaches announced
|Written by Jes-c Brandt
Both Kyle Bules and Stefan Betley have returned this summer for their second year coaching the Holyoke summer baseball teams. Into their third week of practice and having played several games already, the two noted they have good numbers this year, and anticipate a strong season.
Bules, the coach for the gold teams, has been the HHS baseball coach for three years, and coached elsewhere for eight years before that. There are gold teams in the 8-10 Pee Wee age group and the 13-15 Babe Ruth division. In his second year with the boys, Bules is coaching some returning players, as well as some new ones. He is excited to fine tune the skills of both. Clint Goldenstein will be assistant coach for the season.
Betley, also in his second year as summer baseball coach, is coaching the green teams. They have players in all three age groups: Pee Wee, Babe Ruth and the 11-12 Little League. Betley has been the assistant softball coach at HHS for the last two years, and coached for three years at Fleming High School. He is looking forward to a fun summer and hopes to get out there and win some games. Brent Vasa, an HHS baseball player, will be assisting the green teams this summer.
Bules and Betley will be joining summer softball coaches Kia Kassman, Kelsey Scott and Danielle Olofson to coach this year's coed t-ball team.

The University of Southern California Trojans basketball team is among the most accomplished college basketball programs on the West Coast. The Trojans have been playing basketball for over 100 years, playing their first season in 1906. Since then the Trojans have amassed over 1,500 wins, and have produced some of the best teams in college basketball history. USC has won over half a dozen conference regular season championships and won their first conference tournament championship in 2009. The cardinal and gold have made over 15 trips to the NCAA Tournament, including 4 trips to the Sweet Sixteen. In 2001, the program advanced to the Elite Eight, and in 1940 and 1954 the Trojans made it all the way to the Final Four. Notable former Trojans basketball players include Jack Gardner, Tex Winter, Bill Sharman, Alex Hannum, Nikola Vucevic, DeMar DeRozan, O. J. Mayo, Taj Gibson, and Brian Scalabrine. Since 2001, the Trojans have enjoyed one of their most successful eras in program history. USC made the NCAA Tournament 6 times between 2001 and 2011, and have recruited some of the most exciting players in the country. All of this success combined with the opening of the Galen Center in 2006 has created a swarm of positive energy around the Trojans basketball program which USC will look to turn into more Pac-12 titles. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for USC Trojans basketball tickets.
The University of Southern California Trojans basketball team plays their home games at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, California. The Galen Center has been home to Trojans basketball since 2006, and can seat over 10,000 fans. Before the opening of the Galen Center, Trojans basketball played at a number of home basketball venues, most recently the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. The court at the Galen Center is named after former USC basketball player Jim Sterkel. The opening of the Galen Center opened a new chapter in Trojans basketball. For the first time in decades the program had a home court dedicated to Trojans athletics, an idea that was a major factor in the push for the construction of the arena. Since the opening of the arena, USC basketball has seen one of its most successful stretches, bringing more fans and energy to basketball game days than had been present for years.
UCLA Bruins
One of the biggest cross-town rivalries in the NCAA, UCLA-USC is a great basketball matchup. The series began in 1928 and the two schools have met over 235 times. From 1932-1943, the Trojans had a 41 game winning streak against the Bruins, one of the longest winning streaks against a single team in basketball history. The energy and intensity of this game rivals any other in the country. With both schools separated by only a few miles in Los Angeles, the fans are always split, and games are always contentious.
TicketCity offers a big selection of USC Trojans basketball tickets which include some of the lowest priced seats on the market. USC tickets fluctuate based on demand and opponent. Marquee PAC-12 opponents like UCLA, Arizona, and Oregon can drive up home game prices. While cheap tickets are more plentiful for unranked, non-conference opponents. Those early season games may offer the best opportunity to purchase USC tickets near face value.
The Trojans 2016-2017 basketball schedule is listed as soon as it is announced by the PAC-12. USC plays in the PAC-12 Conference, which means games against Arizona, UCLA, Colorado, Arizona State, Stanford, California, Utah, Washington, Oregon State, Washington State, and Oregon. Game times are announced by the PAC-12 as soon as the TV schedule is set. USC's home opener is typically one of the most popular games. They also compete with UCLA in the USC-UCLA Rivalry If you are looking for Trojans news or scores, visit our partners at CBS Sports. They are also a good source for the official USC Trojans team roster.
USC Trojans season tickets are available to buy until kickoff of their home opener. Check our listings above or call us if you would like to purchase USC basketball season tickets. Let us know if you want a particular section at Galen Center.
Easily the biggest game for the Trojans is with the Bruins. USC-UCLA is one of the all-time great rivalries in all of athletics. There are few rivalries in the country that boast two more accomplished programs, and the fact that they are both in the same city, makes this rivalry truly unique. Seeing this matchup in person at the Galen Center is unlike any other game on the Trojans schedule, and is a must experience for all Trojans basketball fans.
One of the best traditions at any Trojans athletics event is the singing of "Fight On." With all 10,000 fans at the Galen Center standing on their feet, hands raised in the traditions "V" hand signal, Trojan fans sing their fight song. As the song hits the last three lines it steadily gets louder, before the final "Fight On," which is so loud that it is deafening. Singing "Fight On" at the Galen Center is a right-of-passage for Trojan basketball fans and is an unforgettable experience.

Digital Strategy at HHS
Incorporating principles of the Digital Government Strategy radically improves how we conduct business and communicate with the public. Putting them into practice to create a modern digital strategy, prepares us to meet whatever new advances the future brings.
What is the Digital Government Strategy?
The Digital Government Strategy challenges us to take a hard look at all of our tools and figure out how they can work together to better serve us and you. Improvements to our websites and tools allow you to access government information anywhere, anytime, using any device. This makes the government's wealth of knowledge easier to find and use. Additional coordination and consistency across agencies will foster innovation that currently is impossible.
What Should I Know?
From now on, all new federal digital projects must comply with the Digital Government Strategy. All projects must be:
- Information-Centric
Instead of locking information in a PDF or spreadsheet, we should share this content as individual pieces of data in the way that is most useful for you. By doing this, we encourage others to take and reuse it. This allows for innovations beyond the capabilities of a single agency. We accomplish this through the agency's open data resource, healthdata.gov and through our API-enabled databases featured in the developers' center.
- On a Shared Platform
Currently, federal agencies have separate IT contracts and systems in place. However, multiple agencies may be using the same development platform—under different contracts and with unlinked systems. By sharing IT systems within other agencies, HHS can help the government work more efficiently, reduce costs, streamline Web development, and ensure consistency in how we create and deliver information. Use the link to browse a list of our shared services.
- Customer-Centric
HHS is comprised of 29 offices and divisions, including the Center for Disease Control, National Institutes of Health, and many others. But that doesn't mean that our information should be divided by these groups. Visiting one site for information on a topic, such as the flu, is more helpful than visiting a department's website, a division's website, or an office's website to find the information you need. Creating one-stop websites with the user in mind improves how we present information. By designing and developing websites with the customer in mind, we better serve the American public.
- Secure and Private
As we open our data and information to the public, it is important that we do so in a way that is safe and secure. This is very important as we move onto mobile devices and platforms. Developing centralized security, privacy, and data protection measures across our digital landscape will keep your information and ours safe. We will ensure consistent, sustainable policies and procedures by implementing these standard guidelines across all HHS digital platforms.
How You Can Get Involved?
Implementing the Digital Government Strategy is not the responsibility of one office or the IT department. The American public and government employees can also support this new approach to digital services.
What Everyone Can Do:
- Read the Digital Government Strategy (HTML/PDF – 660 KB)
- Share your ideas on Twitter using the hashtags #DigitalGov , and #DigitalStrategy
What Federal Employees and Contractors Can Do:
- Learn about the Digital Government Strategy Milestones and Deliverables
- Read how agencies are working together to improve digital services across the government
- Reach out to your agency to learn how you can support the strategy
- See how other agencies are implementing the Digital Government Strategy
- Leave a comment on the Federal Web Managers List Serv and in the comments sections of this site
By participating in discussion and collaboration, you are helping to improve our digital services. This helps foster the innovations and advancements that will move these principles into practice.

|Girls' basketball ends summer season
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
HHS Lady Dragon basketball players have completed their summer season.
Up to 26 girls competed in a total of 68 games this summer. Girls participated in the NJC Team Camp, NJC Monday Night Summer League in Sterling, as well as the University of Northern Colorado Team Camp in Greeley.
Coach Arlan Scholl noted the varsity team did well, winning 18 games and losing only nine. Junior varsity teams won several games and gained some valuable playing experience.
There was great competition at all levels, as the local girls played many larger schools such as Greeley Central, Northridge of Greeley, Eaton, Natrona County of Casper, Wyo., Platte Canyon, Prairie View, Aspen, Windsor, Holy Family, Boulder Fairview, Pueblo County, Sidney, Neb., Sterling and several others.
Coach Scholl noted appreciation to parents for allowing this summer basketball participation. "This kind of experience will really benefit our girls' basketball efforts for the future," he added.
Scholl also acknowledged coach Clint Goldenstein for his help in the summer program. He added the girls and coaches are looking forward to a great season this next school year.

Video: 2 shot at DeKalb bank
DECATUR, Ga. -- A would-be bank robber's plans were thwarted Wednesday when police say a security guard shot him in the knee. Police say the suspect tried to rob the Citizens Trust bank off Wesley Chapel Road in Decatur just minutes after it opened.
The FBI will not release the name of the suspect until it has filed federal charges. But Dekalb County Police already have him on aggravated assault and criminal intent to commit armed robbery.
PHOTOS | 2 shot at S. DeKalb bank branch
Investigators say the suspect tried to rob the bank using what appeared to be a silver, plastic toy gun. But no one inside the bank seemed to have any idea until the ordeal was over.
It took police about an hour to interview witnesses, who one by one left the bank a bit frazzled but relieved. Shaun German-Tucker says her mother-in-law was there as an armed, and very aggressive man demanded money.
"She said everything happened so fast, coming in doing a daily routine of coming into the bank and I guess someone came in and had some other plans," said German-Tucker.
But the security guard inside this bank, who has yet to be identified, had no intention of letting the suspect get away with it.
"The security guard confronted the suspect, the suspect made an aggressive movement toward the security guard and he fired several rounds. The suspect was struck in the knee," said Dekalb County Police spokesperson, Lt. Pam Kunz.
An employee's leg was also grazed. She was treated and back at the bank within an hour. Customers showing up later on the scene praised the guard's actions.
"He did his job, he did it correctly and yes I would say he's a hero. He kept other people probably from getting hurt," said Frank Crawford.
Frank Crawford has been with the bank for nearly 20 years. He says the bank has been robbed twice before and that the tellers now sit behind glass. Still he has no hesitation coming back.
Investigators reviewed video from the security cameras to see if there was a get-away driver waiting outside, but say right now, they believe the suspect acted alone.
The suspect was still at an area hospital Wednesday evening, after surgery to repair the damage to his knee. Neither the guard nor bank would talk about the incident.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Yes and No
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These pants are great. They are very water proof. I would wear a layer under them always.
I would not recommend them for girls that are taller than 5'4. I am 5'2 and they are perfect for me, then again I do like my pants to be a little long. I am about a 23/24 waist and they fit pretty snug so if you like your pants bigger, I would go a size up in them.
I have been wearing these pants for 2 season now. I have not washed them once. They are starting to get wet on the butt.
The button waist is kind of a pain in the ass because every time I bend over to strap in, it unbuttons. I would recommend wearing a belt of show lace with them.
Otherwise they are a pretty decent pant.
Runs small
These pants run smaller than other Nomis pants that I've tried on. They were tight in my thighs and smaller in the waist.

Hi Guys
I`ve been thinking about my Celtic roots lately with a project I`ve been working on and as such I have attached a little Knot, which you can laser cut if you so wish to!
You can edit the Knot to suit your own needs.
Just hope it doesn`t send you too 'Knotty'

|Could we go back to bed now?
It all started a 4 AM when Cooper came into the bedroom, all excited and "talking" up a storm. My hubby had forgotten to put his Blackberry on mute last night and Coop wanted to let us know the he had a new email. Got the dog settled down, but couldn't get back to sleep because the neighbor's rooster was crowing. At 4:30 AM. When it was still pitch black outside. Fast forward to a few hours later when I let Cooper outside to do his business. I'm in the middle of my yard when I hear something very large crashing through the bushes in my other neighbor's yard along with the gong of something hitting metal. I look over and see a deer butt disappearing into the woods. Apparently it had kicked an old can that was in the weeds.
Right now I'm guzzling my second cup of coffee and feeling nowhere near normal. I'm also wishing that I had a coffee maker that brews the heavenly caffeinated stuff in a pot instead of one cup at a time. I would most likely be chugging it out of the carafe right now.
So, how is your day going? I bet it's better than mine!

Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton has sparked fresh concerns for his health after sitting out of the band's Monsters of Rock show in Brazil on Sunday.
The rockers performed in Sao Paulo, but Hamilton's place onstage was filled by David Hull, who has often replaced Hamilton during his recent heath battles and cancer treatments.
Reports suggest that Hamilton was too ill to perform.
The rocker was diagnosed with throat and tongue cancer in 2006 and missed the band's Aerosmith's Route of All Evil Tour.
His cancer returned in 2011, but he has since been treated and well on the road to recovery, although a health issue forced him to retire from the band's Australian tour earlier this year.

Prison inmate charged with arson
Published: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 4:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 4:51 p.m.
A 27-year-old Ocala woman was charged with arson after she reportedly burned some documents inside a cell at a state Department of Corrections facility.
Jhodi Marie Carter was booked into the Marion County Jail on Thursday.
On Jan. 7, a State Fire Marshal's Office investigator was called to the Lowell Correctional Institution north of Ocala about a broken sprinkler head in a cell on Jan. 4.
Investigations showed the sprinkler was activated as a result of toilet paper being wrapped around the sprinkler head and a fire being set. Officials said the only person in the cell was Carter. They said she attended a disciplinary hearing Jan. 3, which resulted in an extension of her incarceration, which had been set to end Friday, March 8. During their investigation, a burnt portion of the disciplinary report was recovered inside the cell, reports state.
Carter refused to talk with the fire investigator. A warrant for her arrest was obtained and she was charged with arson and was brought from the DOC facility to the jail.
State records show Carter was incarcerated for lewd and lascivious battery on a victim younger than 16 and interference with child custody.

Actor Rob Lowe is adamant good looking stars miss out on serious roles as they are victims of an industry bias.
The "Parks and Recreation" star was lauded as a heartthrob early in his career but claims he longed to play more complex roles which he was often passed over for.
Lowe believes glamorous actors struggle to land serious roles, and he insists it was only later in his career that he began to win more challenging parts.
He tells the New York Times Magazine, "There's this unbelievable bias and prejudice against quote-unquote good-looking people, that they can't be in pain or they can't have rough lives or be deep or interesting. They can't be any of the things that you long to play as an actor. I'm getting to play those parts now and loving it. When I was a teen idol, I was so (expletive) pretty I wouldn't have taken myself seriously."

Hi everybody,
I'm currently a user of zimbra desktop for several zimbra mail client accounts.
I'd like to install an account that has more than 10 Gb datas !
Since I 'm using a 64 Gb System SSD Disk for my OS, i'd like to choose another folder than the classical "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop\store" in order to synchronize zimbra accounts in an other disk than the system disk, or simply desactivate synchronization for this big account.
Is there a solution ?
Thanks a lot for replies.

BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA9) -- Cancer doctors across the country are warning thousands of chemo patients they may have to turn them away. The culprit: government sequestration budget cuts that mean some clinics cannot afford the expensive drugs.
"At first I thought, the government, they would never do anything like that. That they wouldn't hurt seniors like that..." says Carol Ledbetter, who was taking her expensive chemo treatment at Bethesda's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. "This treatment has kept me alive."
But oncologist Ralph Boccia fears some time in the next few months, he too may have to start turning patients away, unable to afford the expensive meds after another cut in his reimbursement from Medicare. "We're going to watch it very carefully and see if we go underwater, and if we go underwater, it's over for us too." Dr. Boccia says his practice spends $1-million to $1.5 million dollars a month on chemo drugs.
Cancer clinics across the country say they're faced with a difficult choice: send patients elsewhere, or go out of business. "These are patients with life-threatening and potentially life-ending diseases," says Dr. Boccia.
Cancer clinics were already operating under very narrow margins on chemo drugs that can cost more than $2,000 a dose.
Boccia says the sequester cut formula means those narrow margins were cut by another nearly 30%, meaning some of the drugs could cost him more than the government is paying him for them. "This is very painful. Very painful for a physician. We don't like to talk to our patients about money."
Doctors say the patients will still get treatment, but it will have to be at hospitals instead of doctors' offices. And they say, ironically, that it could cost the government MORE money.
Doctors and patients have started a petition drive on the White House website in hopes of saving their clinics.
"I've been with this doctor for ten years. And he's kept me alive all these years," says patient Carol Ledbetter.
We asked the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to tell us if it's doing anything to head off the crisis.
We have yet to hear back.

Item # HED0056
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Tubular Wheels in stock than that.View Similar Products
HED H3 Deep FR Carbon Tubular Front Wheel $0.00
Beijing, the Tour, the Giro -- what do these races have in common? They've all been won on the HED H3 Deep FR Carbon Tubular Front Wheel. Only in production since 2007, the H3D Tubular has been dominating time trials and triathlons at an alarming pace. Even before production, Lance was passing Ullrich with an H3D front wheel during the Prologue of the 2005 Tour. Stiff, aero, and just plain cool looking; the H3 Deep is fast, and you'll be faster for using it.
The H3D FR Tubular Front Wheel is an amalgamation of the Jet 9 Aero rim and the standard H3 FR, but the H3D gives you all of the advantage of the H3 FR design and then some. For one, the aero section of the H3D FR rim is molded from the stiffer and lighter Uni fabric. There are numerous aerodynamic advantages from the 90mm rim depth, as well. As a front wheel, the H3D is faster than the H3 at yaw angles up to 10 degrees. This benefits the beast who is continually riding above 25mph where yaw angles tend to be consistently lower than 10 degrees. However, you will find the inverse to be true for riding under 25mph. This leads to the question of if you'd benefit more from the H3 Deep or the H3. The H3D is HED's fastest non-disc wheel, so anyone specializing in a discipline that prohibits disc wheels, like triathlons, stands to gain a monumental advantage. If your discipline finds your average speed to be below 25mph, the H3 will be your choice of front wheels with the H3D being better suited as a rear.
The H3 Deep is extremely aerodynamic. It utilizes three main components to achieve its low drag ratios: a 90mm deep rim section, airfoil section spokes, and the smooth connection points where the two join. This design has heavily reduced drag resistance from every angle of the wheel. Coming in at only 19mm wide, the deep, V-shaped rim section is designed to minimize drag at shallow yaw angles, and, past 15 degrees, the shape of the airfoil spokes allow airflow passage to keep the wheel from stalling.
The H3D's protection from extreme wind angles is not limited to aerodynamic measures. HED pioneered the wide rim design that dominates today's carbon wheels with what it dubbed C2 Technology. C2 Technology's goal is to reduce the occurrence of the two main drag variables: aerodynamic resistance and rolling resistance. In 2006, HED was set out to correct the problems associated with fitting tires into narrower rims -- problems like higher required pressure, increased rolling resistance, decreased handling, and increased drag. HED found that by making the rim edge wider, a 23mm tire would flow exceptionally well into the rim shape, and thus create a flush aerodynamic profile for optimal airflow. So C2 technology doesn't only address aerodynamics, it also reduces mechanical drag. By increasing the contact patch with the road, C2 further improves the distribution of load and reduces rolling resistance.
The HED H3 Deep FR Tubular front wheel also focuses on rigidity and stability. The carbon layup, resins, and fiber orientations of the H3D are at their most advanced stages to date. When coupled with wider-is-better C2 technology, the wheel develops a startling amount of lateral and torsional rigidity. To ice the cake, HED has also developed a 'secret weapon' that it calls Stability Control Technology (SCT) to effectively tame crosswind at any angle to the wheel. SCT is so secret that HED will not detail the process publicly, but the performance value is instantly recognizable upon usage.
Unparalleled quality control, aerodynamic design, and rim shape innovation set the H3 Deep FR Tubular Front Wheel apart from the pack. Decades of H3 podium finishes have reinforced that HED is better following the beat of its own drum, and that eventually, all others will follow.
The H3 Deep Tubular Front Wheel includes a titanium skewer and ratchet ring. Note that the maximum recommended user weight is 250lbs.

I believe it canine and not feline. The part is I am hoping it is coyote and not the bigger cousin. Some thing to note, I found a dead elk calf on Saturday. I went back into the area today (Tuesday). The entire calf was gone. No blood, hear or anything. Like it carried off and I found this track in the mud near where the calf was.
This was taken in South Eastern Wyoming near Arlington.
