Oklahoma football: Johnny Manziel & Joe Don Looney
Reader Gary Billings sent me an interesting concept the other day. Is Johnny Manziel the modern-day Joe Don Looney?
You remember Looney, or at least have read about his exploits. The OU star from half a century ago, who burst upon the Sooner scene in 1962, seemed to have unlimited potential, then his career disintegrated through a series of transgressions.
There are plenty of differences, of course, between Manziel and Looney, starting with the Heisman Trophy. But there are plenty of similarities, too. Texans who came from affluent families, seemingly lacking all discipline, but who came from nowhere to be sensations, only to find the spotlight a little difficult to handle. Looney didn't and Manziel hasn't shown that they believe rules apply to them.
Perhaps the most striking similarity is how Looney came to be kicked off the Sooner squad by Bud Wilkinson in 1963. Looney punched an OU graduate assistant coach. Manziel, remember, famously shoved a Texas A&M graduate assistant during spring practice.
Another similarity: Neither coach appeared to know what kind of talent he had on his hands. A&M coach Kevin Sumlin didn't even name Manziel his starting quarterback until a couple of weeks before the 2012 season opener. Looney wasn't a starter as the 1962 season opened, but Wilkinson inserted him late in the season opener against Syracuse, and Looney reeled off a legendary 60-yard touchdown run to give the Sooners a 7-3 victory.
Looney had a more checkered background before taking college football by storm. He made short stops at Texas and TCU, before starring at Lawton's Cameron Junior College in 1961 and moving on to OU.
Looney was quite the character, too. He was not a Brian Bosworth, a great player who adopted a quacky persona to get more press. Looney was legitimately an oddball. "Bosworth's persona was manufactured," said Looney biographer J. Brent Clark. "Looney's was genuine. "
In the foreward of Clark's Third Down & Forever, Barry Switzer wrote that "Joe Don was just born a little too soon." Or maybe he was born in the right time. Certainly Manziel hasn't been helped by the social-media phenomenon of the 21st century. Looney ended up playing a little pro football, getting involved with drugs, going to Vietnam and devoting himself to Eastern mysticism. Then he died in a motorcycle crash in desolate west Texas in 1988 at age 45.
Manziel seems more addicted to the spotlight and to confrontation than did Looney, but Manziel also seems more dedicated to football, which should benefit him in the long run. Manziel seems to make news every 15 minutes about something either silly or scandalous, but give him this. I think football is important to him. I'm not sure it was to Joe Don Looney, which means that's the biggest difference between the two.

Multicultralism: THE SATURDAY INTERVIEW: Culture and the Generations; Jo Ind Asked Three Generations of Three Diverse Families If They Had Close Friendships with People of Cultures Different from Their Own
Byline: Jo Ind
Babubhai Nathwani, aged 68, lives in Walsall with his wife and his son's family. He is a company director of Ace International, a sporting goods wholesalers. He is from a Ugandan Hindu background.
My family came to Uganda from India in 1924. We were economic migrants and we built up a printing and stationery business importing products from all over the world and selling to universities and colleges.
I had very good business relationships with people from Germany, Italy, Japan and the UK. English was the business language.
At home, we lived in an Indian neighbourhood and my closest friends were Indian.
We had to leave Uganda in 1972 because of Idi Amin. We couldn't take anything with us. My six bothers and their families came to England at the same time.
There was a slightly unwelcoming reception with people not wanting us to live on their street. We all came to live in Great Barr which I'd say was a 90 per cent white area.
We had to build a business up from scratch. It was very, very hard work. Our priority was to provide for our families and it wasn't easy.
Now we have a good mix friends, like our neighbours who are white, but when we first arrived we were trying to find Hindus from similar backgrounds - we are Lohanas - so we could have a platform for discussion and celebrate cultural events like Diwali together Vijay Nathwani, aged 44, is also a company director of Ace International. He is Babubhai's son and lives with the family in Walsall I was 11 years old when I came to England. I did my secondary school education in Birmingham and went to University in Scotland.
I had friends from Scotland, Ireland, England, India and the Middle East.
I had more English friends through sport or other interests such as music but I had more Hindu friends from activities with our community.
I'm active in maintaining all those relationships and the friendships that develop through business.
It's important for us to have friends with other Hindus and to maintain links with our culture but we are also good friends with the white and non-white people who live near us.
Our English neighbours have had the key to our house for 16 years, so there is no problem with trust and sharing basic values.
How would I feel if my son brought a white girlfriend home? Well I was the first one to do that, so I've already broken that taboo.
I think Rajiv is fortunate that my generation has worked hard to communicate our cultural values.
Also through our success and contribution to the economy, things have turned round so now it's very fashionable to be Indian Rajiv Nathwani, aged 17, is a full time student at King Edward's School, Aston. He lives in Walsall with his parents and grandparents I've got lots of good friends from different cultural backgrounds. The school I go to is 50 per cent nonwhite, which is quite unusual for a grammar school.
I also work in a store in the Bull Ring where most of the people are white. I go out with them, no problem.
At the school they are very positive about the non-white people and are aware of cultural differences, for example they have a Festival of Culture.
I think this really helps us to all mix well with each other. I think there would be more racial tensionif the school wasn't so aware. I'm the first Asian in our school to direct a musical and I'm deputy head boy.
My grandad has taught me about our culture and religion but I was interested anyway and wanted to know about it.
Hinduism is a religion that teaches you to embrace other religions as well. When I was younger I played Joseph in a nativity play. I've been in the choir and been to church which has given me insight into Christianity. I really believe in mixed schools.
I don't think my generation has to struggle with racism as much as my parents and grandparents. …

My dad surprised me with a Topeak Joe Blow Max 2 over the weekend when I was home. It is a really nice pump and effortless to get up to 120, though I usually stick around 100.
It has presta and schraeder valves (seperate heads though) and a gauge too. He did say that he paid 20 for it.
Best part is that it sure beats having to swing by the gas station every couple of days.
Anybody ever used one of these? How does it compare to the joe blow sport for example?

The premise seems as sound as they come: Take web series veteran and geek icon, Felicia Day, and set her loose in the world of Bioware's latest hit fantasy franchise, Dragon Age. Sounds like a sure fire hit. But is it? Well… not yet.
For those unfamiliar, Dragon Age Redemption is a web series that is to be released in coincidence witha Dragon Age expansion featuring intertwining characters and plot lines.
And while its video game counterpart may have the luxury of taking its time with the unveiling the story, the first episode of the web series feels like it is trying to play catch up from the get go. A series of text filled screens attempt to bring us up to speed by informing us of two warring religious factions, the Qun (the belief system of the grey giants known as Qunari) and the chantry (the church of the humans). We are also told that in their effort to gain the upper hand , these groups seek the control of mages so that they migght bend them to their will.
I know a lot of shows, movies, etc. have introduce back story through text, but in the case of Redemption, I'm just not sure it works. Despite giving me some background, I couldn't help but feel with without prior knowledge coming in; people would still feel lost once the action got going. To be fair, seven minutes is not a lot of time to tell a story so I understand the need to try to compress as much info as possible, but honestly I would have been totally okay with an episode just devoted to background and setting the table for the rest of the series.
That being said, starting the series so abruptly does allow the action to pick up quickly and we are able to be introduced to Day's character, Tallis the elf without much of a hold up. Tallis is an elf assassin recruited by the Qunari to serve the Qun. When we first see Tallis, she is performing menial tasks as part of a punishment for a grave mistake (what this is, we're not told. But we do know Tallis desperately wants to redeem herself.), and it's not long before Tallis is given just that chance to atone for her failures as she is sent by the Qunari to track down a rogue mage.
Getting to see Day in action is definitely one of the highlights of the episode, because to be frank, I didn't think I'd be able to find Day believable in such an assertive role after seeing her in a much more timid light for so long in her roles in Dr. Horrible's sing-a-long blog and the Guild. But Day really gets the chance to show some versatility here and once I was able to let go of my preconceived notions I didn't have any problem believing she could be hunting down mages or beating up on boorish humans.
The episode essentially follows Tallis' pursuit of the mage and leaves us with her hot on his trail, but now in the midst of a race with a rival seeker in the form of a Templar (I don't remember his name so we'll just call him sir handsome, because I'm going to go ahead and predict a romance sub plot here.). but more than anything this episode leaves us with questions like,
What was Tallis' failure?
What secret does this Rogue mage hold and who will find him first? Tallis or her rival seeker?
Do I care enough to find out?
And that's the biggie. The acting was solid and the production values were great which means the project has the support it needs to be something special, but after one episode, the narrative just isn't that compelling. I'm rooting for this one; I really am, because I'd love to see more little projects like this one. But they aren't going to happen without viewers to support them, so I just hope people will check this out and stick with it long enough to let it find its groove.

As U.S., French and British forces blasted Libyan air defenses and ground forces for a second day Sunday, the Arab League secretary-general, Amr Moussa, deplored the broad scope of the U.S.-European bombing campaign in Libya and said he would call a new league meeting to reconsider Arab approval of the Western military intervention.
CAIRO — As U.S., French and British forces blasted Libyan air defenses and ground forces for a second day Sunday, the Arab League secretary-general, Amr Moussa, deplored the broad scope of the U.S.-European bombing campaign in Libya and said he would call a new league meeting to reconsider Arab approval of the Western military intervention.
Late Sunday, smoke billowed from Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's massive Bab Azizia residential compound shortly after a massive, earthshaking explosion in Tripoli.
Immediately afterward, the streets of the capital erupted with car horns, chanting and celebratory gunfire in a show of support for Gadhafi, whose armed loyalists retain a tight grip on the streets.
Moussa said the Arab League's approval of a "no-fly" zone on March 12 was based on a desire to prevent Gadhafi's air force from attacking civilians and was not designed to embrace the intense bombing and missile attacks — including on Tripoli, the capital, and on Libyan ground forces — that have filled Arab television screens for the past two days.

"What is happening in Libya differs from the aim of imposing a no-fly zone," he said in a statement on the official Middle East News Agency. "And what we want is the protection of civilians and not the shelling of more civilians."
Moussa's declaration suggested some of the 22 Arab League members were taken aback by what they have seen and wanted to modify their approval lest they be perceived as accepting outright Western military intervention in Libya. Although the eccentric Gadhafi is widely looked down on in the Arab world, Middle Eastern leaders and their peoples traditionally have risen up in emotional protest at the first sign of Western intervention.
A shift away from the Arab League endorsement, even partial, would constitute an important setback to the U.S.-European campaign. Western leaders brandished the Arab League decision as a justification for their decision to move militarily and as a weapon in the debate to obtain a U.N. Security Council Resolution two days before the bombing began.
As U.S. and European military operations entered their second day, however, most Arab governments maintained public silence and the strongest expressions of opposition came from the greatest distance. Presidents Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, Evo Morales of Bolivia and Fidel Castro of Cuba condemned the intervention and suggested Western powers were seeking to get their hands on Libya's oil reserves rather than limit the bloodshed in the country.
Russia and China, which abstained on the U.N. Security Council Resolution authorizing military intervention, also expressed regret that Western powers had chosen to get involved despite their advice.
In the Middle East, the abiding power of popular distrust against Western intervention was evident despite the March 12 Arab League decision. It was not clear how many Arab governments shared the hesitations voiced by Moussa. But so far only the Western-oriented Gulf emirate of Qatar has announced it would participate despite Western efforts to enlist Arab military forces into the campaign.
The Qatari prime minister, Hamad bin Jassem Al-Thani, told reporters Qatar made its decision in order to "stop the bloodbath" that he said Gadhafi was inflicting on rebel forces and civilians in rebel-controlled cities. He did not describe the extent of Qatar's military involvement or what the mission of Qatari aircraft or personnel would be alongside U.S., French and British planes and ships that have carried out the initial strikes.
Islam Lutfy, a lawyer and Muslim Brotherhood leader in Egypt, said he opposed the military intervention because the real intention of the United States and its European allies was to get into position to benefit from Libya's oil supplies. "The countries aligned against Libya are there not for humanitarian reasons but to further their own interests," he added.
When the Arab League approved imposition of a no-fly zone, only Syria and Algeria opposed the league's decision, according to Egyptian officials. The Syrian Foreign Ministry on Thursday reiterated Syria's opposition, as diplomatic momentum gathered for the U.S.-European operation.
"Syria rejects all forms of foreign interference in Libyan affairs, since that would be a violation of Libya's sovereignty, independence and the unity of its land," it said in a statement.
Iran and its Shiite Muslim allies in Lebanon's Hezbollah, reflexively opposed to Western influence in the Middle East, were forced into a somewhat equivocal position, condemning Gadhafi for his bloody tactics but opposing the Western military intervention.
"The fact that most Arab and Muslim leaders did not take responsibility opened the way for Western intervention in Libya," declared Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader, in a video speech Sunday to his followers. "This opens the way for foreign interventions in every Arab country."
At the same time, Nasrallah accused Gadhafi of using the same brutality against his opponents as Israel has used against Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry, which previously criticized Gadhafi's crackdown, on Sunday expressed "doubts" about U.S. and European intentions. Like the Latin American critics, it suggested the claims of wanting to protect civilians were just a cover for a desire to install a more malleable leadership in Tripoli and make it easier to exploit Libya's oil.
Gadhafi has been on the enemies' list of Shiite activists in the Middle East since 1978, when Lebanon's paramount Shiite leader, Imam Musa Sudr, disappeared during a fundraising visit to Tripoli. His fate has never been officially cleared up, but Palestine Liberation Organization investigators determined that he was probably killed by Gadhafi's security agents after they misunderstood an order from Gadhafi to "get rid of" Sudr and his pestering for money.

I have been totally addicted to biking for 30+ years and have been an avid Mt. Biker since I purchased my first real mountain bike in 1987. I grew up a few hundred yards from the mountains and have always been able to hit the dirt in just a few minutes. Now I live about 3 miles from the trails but that doesn't make much difference.
I have a wide assortment of bikes and my garage is like a museum showing the history of Mt. bike advancements in particular.
I am also lucky to live in an awesome area for road biking. Within blocks I can be virtually free from traffic for miles and miles with rolling hills and beautiful scenery.
I am married and my wife and kids are also bike fanatics. We love to get out and ride all the time and plan many of our vacations around cycling. We also like to hike, camp, and rollerblade the parkways.
One of my callings in life is to be a missionary for cycling and have hooked many friends and family members and at least 5 or 6 have (nearly) surpassed me in the passion for it and some have definately passed me in fitness and skills.
I've definately got too much bike stuff because my wife is embarrased if I leave the garage open.

Why Mark Cuban Should Really Get Championship Rings for the Mavs (Updated)
It just wouldn't be the same if Jordan had five rings and a show pony.
Tough to tell how serious Mark Cuban is about forgoing championship rings and getting something else to commemorate the franchise's first title. But he seems pretty committed to changing it up.
"Rings are old school," Cuban said, according to The Dallas Morning News. "Rings are done. It's time to take it to the next level and do something different."
Always the innovator, that Cuban. But this isn't Shark Tank. The guy from FuBu's not going to devalue the franchise if Cuban does something a little ordinary. And for Cuban, now is the time to ride with ordinary.
It's hard to judge the decision without knowing what Cuban will come up with. Watches, the most likely scenario, wouldn't be terrible, and a 2011 Mavs title Rolex certainly would fetch some extra coin on eBay for whichever player winds up broke in a few years (statistically speaking, it's bound to happen).

But even watches, and certainly anything else he might pass out -- cars, cowboy hats, cuff links, pet chimps, whatever -- will seem cool and novel and fresh and innovative right up until the first time a member of the Mavs' organization winds up at a party where old NBA guys are showing off their rings.
Hey, there's MJ! He has six! And Kobe! He's got five! And there's Bill Russell! He rents a townhome for all his! And there's J.J. Barea! He's got...wait, he's not wearing a ring. I know he won one or two, back when the Mavs...wait, didn't the Mavs win a...hey there's Shaq! He's got four rings. Maybe he'll let me hula hoop in one of them!
Cuban might think they're passe, but they're a major-sports measuring stick that's been in the game way longer than he has, and they'll likely be around way after he's gone. His players, his coaches, his trainers, his staff -- they've all been dreaming about slipping one on for weeks, if not years, if not forever, and they're on the verge of having that dream come true. Now's just not the time to get cute.

It's not every company that can boast awards for their compact USB audio interfaces as well as doing studio installations for the world's top producers and studios. Focusrite are anything but ordinary however, having designed some of the finest microphone preamps and studio EQs in their Forte console and ISA outboard range as well as the Red Net audio interface system.
Years of experience designing these pro grade pieces of studio gear have allowed Focusrite to offer the Scarlett and Saffire interface ranges, true studio technology at a price that can suit a range of requirements and budgets. The Clarett Thunderbolt interfaces offer premium electronics and super low latency, blurring the difference between standard audio interfaces and high end studio technology.

The sound of a stereo being ripped out was caught on camera in a bait car, a car specially wired by police with live streaming audio and video designed to catch suspected thieves in the act.
Arlington County has a bait car, and now the police chief of Chevy Chase Village wants one because his area appears to be under siege.
"Moving pictures of the bad guy doing something bad and it will be hard to refute," says Chief John Fitzgerald.
The bad guys are pushing Chevy Chase Village towards a 25-year high. So far this year thieves broke into 68 cars and stole everything from pocket change to purses and phones. The area, which borders the District, is only a half-square mile radius with some 2,000 residents, including Cheryl Baird.
"The glove department was rifled," says Baird. "All of my parking money was stolen."
Her car was broken into twice this year and supports the chief's push for a bait car.
"I would offer my driveway to him," says Baird.
If the Village board approves tonight, the chief says he wants word of the bait car to get out so thieves bypass the area altogether.
17-year-old resident Catie Ryan was home asleep when thieves broke in and stole the keys to her father's Mini cooper and got the car.
"It'll really crack down on all these robberies going on," she says.

Stunningly Beautiful - Theatre on the Beach Apt. / Condo
min stay
Nothing between you and the ocean but 40' of Sugar White sand and 2 palm trees - Yes - The Theatre on the Beach is that perfect!
*** Fun at the Theatre - 65" HDTV with Blu-ray disks and DVD player, plus 50" TV's in both main bedrooms - and the Yellow Frenzy - our Fun Free Kayak provided for you to enjoy - fun inside and outside ***
A very special place for relaxing. Theatre on the Beach (Unit 215) is a two bedroom plus centrally air-conditioned condo right on the beach in the most beautiful Virgin Island - St. Croix.
Why the PLUS? It's our hidden extra bedroom. Not only do you have an oversized Master bedroom (with fab view of the beach and ocean), a lovely Guest bedroom with a queen sized bed and lovely view of our gardens, but there's an extra room with 2 twin beds - excellent for overflow - or just close the door - you are down to 2 bedrooms (with office space if you'd like).
And there's our kitchen - granite counters, awesome wooden cabinets - top of the line everything and a stunning view. No doing dishes in the dark - you are right in the heart of the action - looking out over the sand to the ocean. It's all right there.
But the best is our glass walled double head shower in the Master bath - this is probably the neatest shower you'll ever enjoy - Massage heads on both sides! - And there's a relaxing rain shower in the second bathroom.
And if you are wondering where the name Theatre on the Beach comes from - its to honor our oversized Home Theatre system - with tons of Caribbean themed DVD's supplied. Plus - we've just added unlimited FREE high speed internet - bring your own laptop and the internet access is on us.
So if you've decided on St. Croix - choosing the Theatre should be an easy decision!
Called the Surprising Virgin - St. Croix is a wonderful mixture of the laid back character of St. John and the hub-bub of St. Thomas. And because it's large enough to have it's own farms and industry, prices are not outrageous! In fact, local fruits and vegetables are actually quite a bargain.
Theatre on the Beach (unit 215) is located at Sugar Beach resort - just five minutes by taxi from Christiansted, but a world away from the noise, bars and nightlife. It's peace and quiet with an ocean front. Our 400 feet of sandy beach front means lots of room for everyone to play, our large free-form swimming pool beckons, and of course there's also tennis on site.
Our unofficially onsite restaurant - Breeze's - is one of St. Croix most popular - and it's open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Just don't miss trying a Mongoose - it's one of the most refreshing tropical drinks I've ever enjoyed.
Theatre on the Beach isn't just fully furnished, it's personally decorated to make your stay not just relaxing, but fun as well. There's our wonderful full kitchen, the delightful master bedroom with ocean view (and sliding glass doors to open and enjoy the breezes), the comfortable guest bedroom with it's own bathroom, ceiling fan, and view of the landscaped garden, oversized home theatre system with Caribbean themed DVD's. Plus there's the kids fun area with two single beds tucked off the second bedroom. Close them off if you don't need them - use them as overflow if you're a larger group. And it's centrally air-conditioned, close enough to hear the waves lapping on the shore, and just 6 steps up from the parking. Modern, comfortable, newly decorated, with tons of extra amenities. (sigh - just describing it makes me what to visit!)
We've put in every appliance you can imagine - from stove to microwave and more, plus there's an 'oh so handy' washer and dryer! Gourmet kitchen utensils - upscale pots and pans - even Caribbean themed dishes are yours to enjoy. Even better, Theatre on the Beach has ceiling fans in every room - and is even centrally air-conditioned - not that you'll need it with the huge 30' private porch that gives you your amazing view of palm trees and ocean.
Just drop us a line to check availability and make your reservation in Paradise!

"Magnificent Condo and Beautiful Island"
My husband, 12 year old son and I recently spent Spring Break 2015 visiting the beautiful island of St. Croix while staying at The Theater on the Beach Condo located in the Sugar Beach Resort. This condo was everything the owner describes it to be on this site and more. It is well maintained and fully equipped with all you need to spend a truly relaxing time on St. Croix. The condo was extremely comfortable for us and could have easily accommodated 2 - 3 more guests quite comfortably as well. The trade winds off the beach were beautiful and the condo was roomy and spacious. The grounds of Sugar Beach are equally beautiful and very well maintained. The staff were all pleasant, courteous, professional and available. Only roblem we had was finding the Sugar Beach Condo Resort. It's tucked away which makes it very quiet and peaceful but also a bit difficult to find when we first arrived on the island. Overall this was one of our most favorite vacations, and we vacation often! We plan to go back to Theater of the Beach and to St. Croix again in the future. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.

"Theatre on the Beach - as beautiful as promised"
My husband and I stayed in Theatre on the Beach, Unit 215, the week of March 22. The condo was stunning. It has been completely gutted and remodeled with beautiful upgrades, and is every bit as beautiful as the listing photos. The property was spotless and well maintained with all of the amenities we needed for cooking, cleaning and relaxing. There was everything we needed for snorkeling and the kayaks were an added treat. There was a beautiful breeze off the sea the entire time we were there, and we never needed to turn on the aC. The beach and pool were never crowded, and we never had difficulty finding a lounge chair. The pool and grill area have also recently been renovated, and were extremely clean and inviting. Leslie, the owner, was extremely helpful and answered all of our e-mails and questions in a timely manner. The property itself was beautifully maintained and the beach cleaned and raked daily. Sharon, Michelle and Francis in the office were extremely friendly and helpful. Any concerns we had were addressed in a timely and efficient manner. We did rent a car, but we used Big John's Taxi a couple of times, and would recommend it. We enjoyed the Breezez restaurant, which is right next door, as well. The service was good, and the food was well prepared and reasonably priced. We ate at the avacado Pit, Brew Pub, Angry Nates and Rum Runners in Christiansted. We were very happy with the food, and service in all of them. We took the day trip to Buck Island which was wonderful, and chartered a fishing boat for a 1/2 day ($400) through the rental shop on the corner by the avacado Pit restaurant - Captain John - he was great. We did do the bioluminescent kayak tour in Salt River, and were somewhat disappointed. Two hours was too long, and we did not think it was as stunning as advertised. It was a wonderful week, and we would not hesitate to recommend this property to a friend or relative. Only wish there was a nonstop flight from Chicago to St. Croix.

Awesome review - and you've done a great job of summing up why St. Croix and Sugar Beach are such great places. There is so much to do - and relaxing is of course job #1! Thank you, Thank you! Leslie
"Wow - only word to describe this beautiful condo"
My husband and I spent a week at The Theatre on the Beach at Sugar Beach. This is an amazing condo. The photos and description are right on but you have to see this condo to truly appreciate it. Leslie was very easy to work with prior to our visit and the staff at Sugar Beach was wonderful. The condo had everything we needed. We did not rent a car but it was easy to get around with the use of Big John's taxi service. We enjoyed our trip to Buck Island and the food at Breezez, Rum Runners, Hotel on the Cay buffet and Turtle's Deli (in Frederiksted where we watched an absolutely amazing sunset while having dinner). I would recommend this condo for anyone going to St. Croix.

"Theater On The Beach St. Croix VI"
We had a great time in Theater On The Beach! We were most pleased with the new kitchen,the kayak, and the beach facilities. We have two older teen girls and there was plenty do do on the premise and the island. People at the two closest restaurants were very friendly. We likes the bio-luminescent kayak tour, the horseback riding and the sail to Buck Island. We relaxed in the condo, laid out on the beach (plenty of chairs) and hung out at the pool. Totally worth the stay!!

"A restful, pleasant week"
We stayed here for a dance vacation week and found it superior to a hotel stay. We shared the condo with another couple and had plenty of room. The view of the beach and the water was large and relaxing (none of that "if you stand right here and look there between those buildings...the only thing between the balconey and the Caribbean were sand and palm trees). The furniture (including the beds) is comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped (unless you cannot live without a Cuisinart). "If you must", the condo has its own WiFi. There is snorkeling gear in the cupboard and a kayak available. There is a restaurant nearby and 2 grocery stores within walking distance (1 mile away).
If I could design my ideal place to spent a week in the "tropics", it would look an awful lot like this.

"Great Unit, Great owner!"
My family and I stayed in the Theater on the Beach (#215) for a week after Christmas. We were part of a larger family group (23 total in six different condos), and the ability for everyone to stay at one location and share a beach, pool and common room was great.
The Theater unit was wonderful. The updates the owners have made are very nice. The unit was incredibly well stocked, meaning there were many supplies for many different needs. (We've stayed in other rental condos that are very bare-bones; not the Theater!).
In this review I checked the box "Persons with Disabilities"; our 7 year old daughter has difficulty walking and the fact that the unit is only 6 steps up from the parking lot was very nice. However, it's not wheelchair accessible.
As others have mentioned, the breeze through the unit meant that aC was not needed, and there are fans in every room. One of our kids did use the bonus room and it worked great for her. She takes naps in the afternoon and had no trouble with noise (we ran the fan in her room), even though I'd call the privacy level of the bedrooms "moderate to low".
There were one or two issues we encountered but the owners were personally involved and resolved one of them while we were there (the kayak was not available but they got a replacement).
The beach itself was good but not great, and the availability of chairs was nice. Our kids played in the sand and had no trouble with sand-castles and getting buried up to their necks. The seaweed is a bit thick, but it gave us a chance to see fish. Be sure to snorkel to the artificial tire reef off the west end of the beach - amazing!
It was our first trip to St. Croix, but we've been to St. Thomas and St. John before. As they say, St. Croix is somewhere in the middle - less crowded and less busy than St. Thomas, but more established than St. John. We found enough to do but I'd consider St. Croix a "relaxing" destination (and not one for lots of activities).

"A great condo on a interesting island"
This condo was very nice. The new shower is beautiful and the master suite and the second bath are both nice. We did not use the bonus room, but it would have been great fun for kids. The condo would easily accommodate six people.
The kitchen is small but well equipped. The kayak is a lot of fun. The staff is accommodating and helpful, on an island time kind of schedule. We found the night security people to be very helpful. We came in late, the phone was answered promptly and he helped us bring in our luggage and refused a tip.
The beach is not the best, but there are beach chairs and towels if you want to go somewhere else. We found the beach at the Buccaneer and Taramindo to be great and chairs were very reasonable there.
The "Christmas winds" blew through the house the whole time and we never used the aC. This made snorkeling on the north side of the island choppy and difficult. Trips to Buck Island were cancelled a couple of days we were there.
Really enjoyed sailing with Bilinda. Golfing at the Buccaneer was great and they never charges as much as they quoted. We played with club rental for $160 total to 2 people. Well worth it!

Glad to hear you had a good time. One of the very very nicest things about St. Croix - and I think pretty unique - is that ALL Beaches are public. Even ones that officially belong to a resort. So you can take a chair and go anywhere on the island that appeals to you. A different beach every day should you so choose. I've been on islands where the beaches were 'fenced' off - and so St. Croix's attitude is both remarkable - and refreshing. So come to our beautiful island - relax and enjoy yourself doing the St. Croix Beach Hop!

"Wonderful and restful"
We had a wonderful time at Theatre on the Beach. The view was fantastic. The breezes off the ocean were frequent and cooled us off a lot. The facilities were wonderful--everything we needed for cooking plus 2 nice restaurants in walking distance. The pool was wonderful with tables in it -- my daugher read a book in the water!
We arrived after the office was closed, but there was a security guard walking up and down the premises who let us into our unit.
St. Croix waterfront is greatly improved. We parked in a lot near the seaplane and had a short walk to several fine waterfront restaurants. Save time for a trip to Sandy Point only open on Sat. & Sun. It was absolutely beautiful. We took a trip around the island on a safari taxi and really enjoyed it. Our guide was friendly, informed and easy to understand.
Our most favorite restaurant was the Pickled Greek on the other side of Christiansted. He ordered for us and gave us samples of various Greek dishes.
Being seniors we really appreciated unit 215's easy access and high toilets!!!

"Serenity on the beach"
Perfect location for relaxing on the beach. Ask for the keys to open the gates on the patio and enjoy the view! The condo, spacious enough for 6 adults, was clean, had a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The office, security and cleaning staff were friendly and helpful. Having a kayak (once we got the salt-air-corroded lock off!-the office/maintenance staff helped here) and some snorkeling equipment available was a big plus. The pool was closed for renovation so we were given access to a neighbouring one within walking distance that was just fine, but the one at Sugar Beach is definitely the nicest in the area. Be sure to use bug spray at dawn and dusk to keep the no-see-ums away. Would recommend renting a car, just so it feels like home and you can come and go as you please. Enjoy your vacation, Leslie is a great hostess!

"I wanna go back!!!"
I had to go to St.Croix on business and decided to rent Theater on the Beach. Well, business changed to pleasure the first day I arrived. The condo is beautiful, very clean, fully equipped and right on the ocean. A home away from home. Coming back from a day's work and being able to put your toes in the warm sand is something I could easily get used to. The complex also has a lovely pool and it was perfect for after dinner relaxation with a drink while looking at the stars. I'm considering Theater on the Beach for my next family vacation.

"Great View"
We rented the Theater on the Beach for a getaway for my wife and I, and along the way picked up another couple and a 5th friend. All five of us were very comfortable for the whole week. I know that the owners tout their a/V package, but honestly we hardly watched any TV while we were there. We were too busy enjoying the sun! Let me tell you why we loved Theater on the Beach. First, the location is fantastic. You are about a 5 minute drive from downtown Christianstead. Even closer to the Seaport if you want to take a seaplane to St. Thomas, which is pretty cool. There are two restaurants within walking distance. We actually only went to one, Smugglers Cove, and it was great pizza and a great atmosphere. We had a rented car and our condo was the perfect hub. Next, the view. The pictures you see of this condo are not doctored. You can throw a tennis ball from the balcony to the water, and the sand is pure white. Every morning a crew comes by and rakes up the seaweed from the shore. There is some grass in the water, but also plenty of clear areas for swimming. Plus you can take the kayak out to the reef, or even swim out if you are bold enough. The swimming pool is pretty nice too, and they have a gas grill you can use poolside. Inside the condo was very nice as well. Great views, comfortable beds, lots of room, a decently stocked kitchen, nice showers, and if you want it, lots of Dvds, plus free wireless that worked great. While we were there, our "5th" friend's mom and sister also rented a Sugar Beach unit in one of the other buildings, and I can definitely say that our unit was much nicer inside. I would highly recommend Sugar Beach, and more specifically Theater on the Beach of you are looking for a bargain on St. Croix.

"Theatre on the Beach! Even the name doesn't say it all!"
What a wonderful escape! Truly a home away from home. Every conceivable convenience was there, from spices in the kitchen to laundry soap to movies to please all. AC was available, but the breezes off the ocean were usually enough to keep cool. The linen closet had plenty of bath towels and beach towels to fill all our needs. A dish washer and washing machine completed the "package". Housekeeping would do a touch up mid week if we had wanted, but we didn't see the need.
We had space for our family of four and a friend we were traveling with. Five adults fit quite comfortably without feeling crowded. Multiple bathrooms were a luxury.
Most meals were eaten on the balcony so we could enjoy the view and the lovely breezes. When we chose to eat out we had many places to chose from, one within walking distance and more just a short drive away.
The condo has the feeling of seclusion; even the beach had a personal feel to it. We were able to snorkel and kayak right in our own "back yard" using the supplied "toys", so had the convenience of not having to buy or rent them.

"A tropical paradise for a family vacation"
Our family of 5, Dad, Mom, and three children, ages 14, 12, and almost 10, enjoyed ourselves so much. The Theatre on the Beach is a beautiful and very accomodating vacation home. The views are stunning, the condo is large and comfy, and the pool was great! There is a manmade reef right off of the condo's beach where we even saw stingrays. The TV/theatre system was great while we were winding down from the days events. We highly recommend the Eiser's Theatre on the Beach!
We stayed at the Theatre in April 2010 and
thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The condo is
situated on the beautiful Sugar Beach and is very
convenient to all that Christiansted had to offer.
We rented a car and were able to get to the
shopping and restaurants without any trouble.
The owner, Leslie is lovely to work with. Not only
was she available to answer any and all of our
questions, she even made recommendations for car
rental and restaurants.
The Theatre is nicely maintained and you will not
be disappointed. I highly recommend this rental.

Spatial working memory activity of the caudate nucleus is sensitive to frame of reference
- Bradley R. PostleAffiliated withDepartment of Psychology, University of Wisconsin Email author
- , Mark D'EspositoAffiliated withUniversity of California
We used event-related fMRI to test the hypothesis that the caudate nucleus is preferentially recruited by a spatial working memory task employing egocentrically defined stimuli, which are amenable to transformation into a motor code, as contrasted with allocentrically defined stimuli, which are not. Our results revealed greater delay-epoch activity in egocentric than in allocentric trials in the caudate nucleus and trends in the same direction in the putamen and the lateral premotor cortex (PMC). Response-related activity was greater for egocentric trials in the lateral PMC. We propose that the neostriatum, possibly interacting with the PMC, may contribute to the sensory-motor transformation necessary to establish a prospective motor code (e.g., the representation of a saccade or a grasp). In addition, the PMC may participate in decision-making processes, prompted by the onset of the probe stimulus, that employ this prospective motor information. This model accounts for the empirical evidence that motor distraction disrupts spatial working memory performance.

Artur Lebedev, Associated Press
MOSCOW — The naming of two Chechen brothers as the suspects in the deadly Boston Marathon bombing is reviving fears about security at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, the resort town on the edge of Russia's restive southern republics. But officials insist they are prepared to protect Olympic athletes and spectators.
If anything, experts said, the bombings could convince the United States to work more with Russia on security at the games, with the country motivated to lend a hand in hopes of ensuring security for its own citizens.
There is no demonstrable connection between the Chechen insurgency and the suspects in the Boston bombings, one of whom was killed in a shootout and the other the focus of an intense manhunt. But Russia has for years been trying to convince the world how big a threat it faces.
Even as regional leaders in Chechnya boast about successful efforts at eradicating the insurgency, it has spread into the rest of the Caucasus and brought terror to Moscow and other cities. Russian authorities have sometimes responded with tough measures that left dozens dead.
The Sochi Organizing Committee on Friday refused to comment on how the Boston attacks could affect preparations for the Games, though one official earlier this week promised "the safest in history." Olympic officials expressed confidence Friday in Russian measures.
The Olympics are "the most secure place you can find," said Gian Franco Kasper, president of the international ski federation FIS, and a member of the IOC's coordination commission for Sochi.
"We always know how tight the security is in Russia now," he said. "They are relatively nervous for the games, which is correct because of the surrounding countries."
The Boston attacks might actually boost security at Sochi because the United States would now be more motivated to engage in Russia to ensure security for Americans, one expert said.
"The U.S. intelligence agencies would be more interested now in expanding cooperation, which has hardly existed until now," said Andrei Soldatov, a Russian journalist and security expert.
U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman Patrick Sandusky told the AP that the committee "will work closely with the local organizing committee, our State Department and law enforcement agencies to ensure the proper security plan is in place."
Chechen separatists have fought two full-scale wars with Russian forces, but despite President Vladimir Putin's sanction of the violent rule of his chosen Chechen leader, he has been unable to stop the spread of the Islamic insurgency.
In 2002, Chechen suicide bombers and others seized a Moscow theater and some 850 hostages, a siege that ended with 129 hostages and all 41 hostage-takers dead when Russian forces staged a rescue raid after first filling the auditorium with a narcotic gas to knock out the militants.
Chechen insurgents also launched a 2004 hostage-taking raid in the southern Russian town of Beslan, a siege that ended in a bloodbath two days later, with more than 330 people, about half of them children, killed. A suicide bomber killed 37 people at Moscow's busiest airport in 2011, prompting threats of revenge by Putin.
But officials say the security plan for Sochi meets international demands and that the system's efficiency has been proven at test competitions.
Security precautions were high and visible to outsiders at international test events in Sochi in January and February. Some athletes were bemused by what they described as unprecedented security measures, including patrols of guards with assault rifles as well as incessant checks of credentials.
Kasper told the AP he was amazed by how tight the security was in Sochi during the test events.
"I joked that the only moment they didn't inspect our athletes was during the race," he said. "We can be relatively safe with all the controls. I am not worried about it."
Russian security agents have been working in Sochi for years in preparation for the Games. Alexei Filatov, deputy head of the veterans' association of the elite Alfa commando unit, said Russian special services are unlikely to be rattled by what happened in Boston since the suspects hadn't lived there for years.
According to Filatov, intelligence officials have been shadowing "every person in every family" in the volatile region for years, singling out "suspicious characters" and tracking their every move in order to nip potential attacks in the bud.
"That Chechen 'link' that was discovered in the Boston bombings has nothing to do with the situation in Chechnya and Russia," Fitalov said.
Despite the worries, military analyst Alexander Golts said he doubts the Boston bombings could hurt Sochi's reputation significantly.
"I don't think it will have a critical importance for the Sochi Olympics," he said. "The condition of the ski jump there matters more."

Mark Martin, a Bishop man who co-owns Pet Supplies Plus on Alps Road, thought he was helping when he and his wife loaded a van full of volunteers in New Orleans Sunday and headed into the Ninth Ward to round up a pack of stray pit bulls at the request of the U.S. military stationed in the ward.
But officers in the New Orleans Police Department arrested Martin and his wife, Shannon, after the couple crossed into the Ninth Ward to rescue the dogs.
In the month-and-a-half Mark Martin has been in New Orleans, he has contended with abandoned pit bulls running in packs across the city's devastated Ninth Ward, the occasional alligator hiding in debris left by destroyed homes and even someone's overly aggressive pet goose.
The couple first visited New Orleans over Labor Day weekend to drop off supplies for a pet shelter that was set up in the wake of flooding following Hurricane Katrina. Over that weekend, the couple said they rescued about 400 dogs and cats that were left stranded when their owners evacuated without them.
After Shannon Martin went home, her husband stayed and formed Disaster Response Animal Rescue - a group dedicated to rescuing animals and housing them in a makeshift shelter set up in a Winn-Dixie parking lot until their owners can be found. So far they've rescued close to 7,500 pets, Shannon Martin said.
She returned to New Orleans last week to help with the rescue efforts and planned to be back in Georgia on Monday before the couple ran afoul of the law.
Mark Martin was charged with reckless operation of a vehicle and making threats against a police officer, and Shannon Martin was charged with crossing a police line and making threats against an officer, according to officials with the New Orleans Police Department.
All of the charges were dropped, except for Mark's reckless operation of a vehicle, which was reduced to two traffic citations, his wife said Monday.
They were released late Monday morning from New Orleans' temporary jail, which is housed in an Amtrak Station.
The couple says a group of military officers asked them to round up pit bulls that had been running in packs and charging soldiers who were patrolling the area. This kind of work has become one of DRAR's main tasks in the last few weeks, Shannon Martin said.
"We're still very much pulling live animals out of houses," she said. "But they call us when they have dogs they need to have picked up. These dogs are scared, hungry and they're running in packs. And some of them are charging the officers. But once you get them out of the situation, they turn back into normal pets. So, it's really hard to relinquish control to the officers and say, 'just go ahead and start shooting them.' "
On Sunday morning, the couple and the van of volunteers tried to pass through a police department checkpoint, but were turned away, said Shannon Martin. They then passed through a U.S. military checkpoint, she added, but police officials said they believe the Martins snuck into the Ninth Ward.
After the group collected two dogs, they attempted to leave the area through the nearest checkpoint - one run by the New Orleans Police Department.
When Shannon Martin got out of the car, she was arrested.
"I was not threatening," she said. "I was not armed. I was just saying that he needed to talk to me. And I asked him not to arrest me, because if he did the animal rights groups would get riled up, and he didn't want that."
That was the phrase that got both she and Mark charged with threatening an officer, she said.
They spent the night at the Amtrak Station, where they had to sleep on a cement floor inside of what looked like a chain-link dog kennel accented with razor wire, she said.
By Monday, the American Civil Liberties Union already had contacted them about suing the arresting officer and the New Orleans Police Department, said Shannon Martin.
However, officials with the New Orleans Police Department said the Martins simply were not supposed to be inside the Ninth Ward. The only animal rescue group allowed into the area is the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, police said.

My system: Cadence IC615
Sometimes when I do a DC sweep, I need to rearrange the X and Y axis.
For example, in a voltage DC sweep, I got two signals shown on the viva. Var1 vs voltage, and Var2 vs voltage. In these two graphs, both have voltage as X axis. But if I want to see hwo Var2 varies with regarding Var1, meaning Var1 is my X axis and Var2 is my Y axi,. is it possible to do this in viva? I know I can export the raw data to Excel and draw from there. But if viva can do it then it will save some processing time.
I very very quickly took a look at your question.... Is this what you are looking for?

In reply to Tawna:
Hi Tawna,
Actually that solution isn't quite right for the Qt graph version of ViVA introduced in IC615; it's valid for IC614 and before (including IC5141). In IC615, you can plot the two waveforms, and then with the mouse over the x-axis, do Right Mouse-> Y vs Y.
The second document shows how to use the Y vs Y button in the results browser as an alternative way of plotting it from the results browser.
In reply to Andrew Beckett:
Tawna, Andrew,
I got it. It works beautifully. Thanks for all your help!
Oops...you are absolutely right. Thanks, Andrew!

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Pathways Housing First programs are based on the belief that housing is a basic human right. Pathways believes people should not have to prove that they are "housing ready" by first participating in treatment or by being clean and sober. Instead, Pathways moves people who are homeless and suffer from psychiatric disabilities directly from the streets into apartments of their own, instantly making them part of a community. Once settled in a stable living situation, they successfully engage with the variety of services available to them, such as psychiatric or substance abuse treatment, employment readiness and skills developments, and family reconnection.
The Center City District Foundation is the charitable arm of the Center City District (CCD). A specially trained group of Community Service Representatives encourage and assist people who are homeless in coming off the street and into appropriate facilities where they can find shelter and necessary social services. The foundation also supports job opportunities for disadvantaged workers.
The official registration and financial information of the sponsoring 501(c)(3) organizations may be obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of State by calling toll free, within Pennsylvania, 1-800-732-0999.

Many people are unaware of how many foster children in our community are in need of "forever" families, writes guest columnist Nicole Sanchez. She and her husband recently adopted a 2-year-old son whom they cared for as a foster child. About 9,500 Washington children are in foster care.
MY husband and I recently adopted our beautiful 2-year-old son. When I share this amazing news with people, I sometimes get a response that, well, stings.
They usually ask me what country we adopted him from. When I reply "Tacoma," their eyes get big. After I proudly tell them we adopted him out of the foster-care system, sometimes their eyes get even bigger and all of a sudden, they have nothing to say. Then there's the other group of people who start sharing "horror stories" of how they know someone who adopted and it failed miserably.
What is going on? What is wrong with people? A child is a child no matter where they are from. We have to change the way we think about orphans and foster children. They are all God's gift to us and are truly our greatest hope for the future.
Please do not misunderstand my feelings on international adoptions. I think it, too, is a beautiful and wonderful thing. I have friends who have adopted internationally.

Adoption in any form is the greatest expression of love, but what I cannot understand is why so many people do not have room in their hearts for the children in their own backyard. They seem to look down on them — like they are second-class.
This is simply not true. Every child deserves a forever family. Every child. They are not in foster care because of anything they did. It is because of their parents' mistakes. And don't forget, biological children have problems, too!
So what are we going to do? I know there are many children in the foster-care system with needs, great needs. Some of their needs are over my head and perhaps yours, too. But even if you can't take in a foster child or adopt one, you can certainly help them. And believe me, the need is great. Huge.
In our state, there are an estimated 9,500 children in the foster-care system right now. Read that again — 9,500 children. Hundreds of those children are already legally free — waiting to be adopted.
But for some, they never get a forever family and they age out of the system. Can you imagine? Never having a family to celebrate your birthday with. No mom or dad to call for help. Who is going to walk you down the aisle? Where are you going to spend the holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas?
This Christmas, I challenge you to look in your heart and ask yourself what you can do to help the orphans in our foster-care system. Is it as simple as collecting toys, writing a check, or as my husband and I did, taking the huge leap of faith and fostering a child you pray you will be able to adopt.
I truly believe it is a calling to adopt and, perhaps, it is even a deeper calling to foster a child you want to adopt. There are no guarantees, but you will know you did what you could to make a difference.
You opened your home and your heart to a child in need. And who knows, you just might end up with a forever son or daughter.
Nicole Sanchez lives with her family in South King County. She works for Pierce County News on PCTV.

Environmental Assessment for St Bernard Parish Water Treatment Clear Well Pump Station And Raw Water Intake Structure Improvements St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana (May 2013)
Hurricane Katrina made landfall on August 29, 2005 near the town of Buras, Louisiana with sustained winds of more than 125 mph. President George W. Bush declared a major disaster for the State of Louisiana (FEMA-1603-DR-LA) on August 29, 2005, authorizing the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide federal assistance in designated areas of Louisiana. The purpose of this EA is to analyze the potential environmental impacts of the proposed construction of the St. Bernard Parish Water Treatment Plant Clear Well Pump Station – Holding Tank; and the Raw Water Intake Pipe. This Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, the President's Council on Environmental Quality regulations to implement NEPA, 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 1500-1508, and FEMA's regulations implementing NEPA (44 CFR Part 10).

COULEE CITY, Wash. (AP) — Fire crews have fully contained a wildfire that damaged several Bonneville Power Administration transmission poles west of Coulee City.
Fire spokesman Scott Crawford says crews spent Sunday reinforcing lines and had the blaze fully contained early Sunday evening.
The fire was originally estimated at about 2,500 acres, but Crawford says a more thorough review showed the fire only burned about 600 acres.
Near Ellensburg, fire crews contained a 300-acre fire despite stiff winds on Saturday. The fire burned in grass and sagebrush 10 miles southwest of Ellensburg.
