Oct. 30, 1999
PULLMAN-Wash. -- An enthusiastic crowd estimated at more than 2,500 helped the Washington State men's and women's basketball teams usher in the 1999-2000 basketball seasons at Basketball Bash '99 Saturday morning at Beasley Coliseum.
Highlights of the hour-long event included Jan-Michael Thomas' brilliant three-point archery, an impassioned speech from new women's coach Jenny Przekwas and newcomer Tyrone Evans winning the slam dunk contest. Following the introduction of both squads, the two teams squared off in a three-point shooting contest. Senior Alke Dietel (Halle, Germany) got the women off to a fast start, staking her team to a three-point lead by edging senior Blake Pengelly (Eugene, Ore.) 10-7. Freshman Nick Graham (Stillwater, Okla.) and senior Chris Crosby (Littleton, Colo.) then rallied the men to a 27-25 lead, passing seniors Cathy McNeely (Philomath, Ore.) and Jen Kerns (Coeur d'Alene).
Thomas, a senior from Inglewood, Calif., then nailed down the win for the men by scoring an impressive 17 points. At one point, he netted seven shots in a row. Junior Katie Nyseth (Cheshire, Ore.) finished with eight points for the women, which made the final tally 44-33.
Fans at the bash also got a glimpse of several new players, including instant fan-favorite Evans, who won the slam dunk contest in a playoff with teammate Mike Bush (Riverside, Calif). Evans, sporting a 70's-style afro that added four inches to his 6-6 frame, threw down three athletic dunks in regulation. But Bush, competing for the pride of the returning players, answered with a dunk that saw him bounce the ball high off the floor, jump over teammate Cedric Clark (Birmingham, Ala.), catch the ball and jam it through the rim. After fan applause produced a tie for the top spot, Evans finished with a jaw-dropping aerial "Jordan" from the left baseline. Bush's attempt bounced off the back rim, giving Evans, a junior transfer from Kansas's Garden City College, the 1999 championship.
One of the surprise highlights of the day came when Bud Nameck, WSU's play-by-play announcer, sank a shot from the midcourt circle to win a shooting contest.
The Bash also featured speeches from Przekwas and men's coach Paul Graham. Both urged fans to embrace the new faces of Cougar basketball. "I encourage everyone to come out and support these programs," Przekwas said. "The future of Cougar basketball is very exciting and I hope you will all be a part of it." Graham echoed Przkewas' determination to bring pride back to Friel Court. "We need your support. Our goal is to have every seat filled. We might not be as big and strong as everyone we play, but I promise you one thing, we will compete."
The women's team debuts Thursday, Nov. 11 in an exhibition game against Lokomotiva Bratislava, a touring team from Slovakia. The men open the following night with a non-counter versus California West All-Stars. Both games begin at 7 p.m. Season ticket packages are available for both teams by calling 1-800-GO COUGS.

The Children's Museum of New Hampshire is a frequented destination for many families. Nearby the Children's Museum is Dover's city-owned Henry Law Park. The Museum and the City wanted to work together to create a playground that could serve as a destination for families. The opportunity for the park to enhance the current development of a city that provided a thriving family community in Dover was apparent to the city.

Table saws support and guide lumber and wood panels as they pass over the spinning blade, making it easier to make accurate repeat cuts than with a circular saw. Most table saws use a circular blade 10 inches in diameter that cuts as the blade spins. This is not unlike the way a handheld circular saw slices through wood. The difference here is that the blade spins in one place, sticking up through a gap in the table. The operator moves the wood against the blade instead of moving the saw.
Table saws range from small portable saws that move with ease from the jobsite to the workshop and start at less than $200, to contractor saws that aren't as portable but that more easily handle larger lumber and sheet material such as plywood, to precision cabinet saws with price tags of $2,300 and up found in woodworking and cabinet making shops. The main differences lie in the saws' power and accuracy. More powerful saws can handle thicker or denser wood, cut faster and run all day without wearing out the motor. Accuracy depends on a variety of factors: low vibration, precise build and an accurate fence and miter gauge that are easy to set.
Table saws pose serious risks of injury since part of the spinning blade on a table saw comes up above the surface of the table and the user's hand is guiding the wood toward the blade. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), table saws are the most dangerous power tool in common use. Thanks to voluntary safety standards formulated by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), most table saws now come with blade guards that minimize the risk. The new guard systems are easier to remove and replace as needed, and include true riving knives (which ride up and down with the blade when its height is changed).
These improvements are important because inconvenient blade guards are apt to be left off the saw, even though the spinning blade can kick back a piece of wood toward the user with tremendous force, causing serious injury to any part of the body that's hit. Most table saw injuries aren't due to kickback, however, but instead involve contact with the blade (cuts or amputations) -- and most happen to hobbyists and homeowners.
A July 2011 report from the CPSC concludes that even an excellent riving knife and blade guard system, as found on the portable Bosch 4100-09 (Est. $570), can't prevent serious cuts from contact with the blade, but the Power Tools Institute (PTI), a trade group representing most power tool makers, counter-claims that there are no reports of contact injuries for current-model table saws with UL-compliant blade guards installed.
Technology that senses the presence of tissue, such as a finger or forearm, and stops the spinning blade exists, but there is controversy over whether it could be or even should be made mandatory. A company called SawStop holds the patents for that technology, and currently makes some well-rated table saws and cabinet saws that include it. There are indications that the CPSC would like to make this system mandatory, and it is preparing a user survey to learn more about the frequency of contact injuries, but industry and contractor opposition has been strong. Worry from the PTI comes from the virtual monopoly that SawStop would enjoy if its technology became mandatory, and it estimates that it could add $100 or possibly much more to the cost of even basic table saws. As detailed at Tools of the Trade, adding to the controversy are charges by the PTI that alternate and less-expensive technologies than the one offered by SawStop have been developed, but have not been offered to the public over fears of patent infringement suits by SawStop.
It's been a few years since we've seen much in the way of comparative reviews of table saws, but older reports remain relevant as many of the models tested remain current. To make our recommendations for the best table saws, and the best table saw bargains, we consulted reports and reviews at Popular Mechanics, WoodWorker's Journal, This is Carpentry.com, Fine Homebuilding, Tools of the Trade and elsewhere. Owner-written reviews are also useful in evaluating portable and contractor table saws, often over longer periods of time, and we looked to Amazon.com, HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com and Sears.com for those.

Legal Aid Agencies and Other Non-Profit Groups in Contra Costa County, California
Legal aid agencies are non-profit organizations that provide free legal services to people below a certain income level. Before you can get help from a legal aid agency, you usually have to qualify for their help based on your low income. Legal aid agencies usually help with domestic violence cases, family law, evictions, public benefits, immigration, employment issues, and other case types that can cause serious problems in a person's every day life.
Non-profit public interest organizations, like groups concerned with civil liberties or housing discrimination, may be able to help you. These groups sometimes have staff lawyers who might be able to handle your case. Others provide legal help only to groups of people rather than to individuals. For example, they might help you and your neighbors convince your city council to install a traffic light at a busy intersection.
The following is a list of some of the legal aid agencies and other non-profit groups in Contra Costa County:
Bay Area Legal Aid
Contra Costa County Crisis Center: 211 Data Base
Contra Costa Senior Legal Services
Legal Services for Children

Vladimir Gongora, 17, thought he was the only person who could not hear.
He grew up in Cuyantepeque, El Salvador, an isolated farming village nestled between mountains, that had no health center and, until recently, no road access for cars.
For Vladimir, there was also no school: Because he could not hear or speak, teachers shut him out, his family said. For years he lingered by the school doors at recess, waiting for other children to exit, waiting for playmates. He communicated only with his two sisters and grandparents, using hand signals they had invented.
But now, as a student at the Lexington School for the Deaf in Jackson Heights, Queens, he has made friends with classmates who are also hearing impaired and is learning sign language and to read and write.
"He wants to work," said his father, Jose Gongora, who never went to school, "and later get a car. He dreams a lot, right?"

On September 29, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.
Michael led the faithful angels in the battle that broke out in heaven when Lucifer rebelled. The devil and his followers thought they could be like God by their own choice.
But Michael, whose name means "Who is like God?", represents the fact that it is only by God's sovereign choice that we can be exalted to his throne.
The battle between pro-life and pro-choice is the same battle. They are wrong who think that the only thing that matters in the end is their own choice, or that such a choice determines right and wrong.
Rather, it is God's choice that matters, and when he chooses to create a little child, it is our duty to welcome and protect that precious gift.
–Fr. Frank

That seems OK for a kid working at Burger King. Normally, when looking at CEO-level jobs (and I think being the emissary of God probably puts it right up there with head of Goldman Sachs, or at least close), two weeks seems a little abrupt. Big corporations put a lot of time and energy into succession planning, and retirements at the top are carefully orchestrated. So it seems quite strange that the Pope will just punch out at the end of work, clean out his locker, and move on.
There was lots of speculation about why he would resign from a pretty cushy job from which he couldn't be fired. Since it hasn't happened for 700 years or so, the pension plan is a mess. Will his health insurance continue? And then there's that whole wardrobe issue. In an organization that is big on costuming, nobody ever had to design the uniform for a retired pope before. Can he keep the hat? Does he have to trade in the Popemobile for a Fiat 500? It's all very confusing.
Once he leaves office, does he become fallible again? That would be hard, after years of always being right. Suddenly he'll start making mistakes, putting the red cloaks in the same wash as the whites and making a real mess of things. It won't be an easy adjustment.
I've got inside sources on this, and was able to get some information that has not generally been in the press. It turns out the resignation was prompted by the discovery that he was ineligible to be pope. He lives in the city limits of the Vatican City, and the ordinance setting the office up says he has to be a resident of the county planning district. So even though popes have been residing in the Vatican and serving in office for centuries, the lawyers have now decided that he can't be pope if he lives in the city.
No, wait. That's the county planning commission members who can't live in an incorporated city and be on the county planning commission, even though residents of the city are also residents of the county, the state, and the nation.
The Park City Council, which has been unable to hire a new city manager for some reason, has dispatched its ninja search team to Rome to see if it can recruit the ex-pope for the city manager job. You know the philosophy around here — always go for the very best. And even though the ex-pope is old and tired, you've got to admit that answering that job interview question, "What is your greatest strength?" with "infallibility" makes a pretty impressive interview.
The legislature is in session. That's kind of the polar opposite of infallibility. So far they haven't launched themselves into outer craziness, but the session is young. My favorite bill so far is from Rep. Brian Greene from Pleasant Grove. Greene has proposed legislation that our local county sheriffs should have the authority to arrest all those federal agents who are in Utah to seize our guns. It's not clear if this is going to apply to an FBI agent trying to disarm a bank robber. Greene is part of the paranoid fringe that believes that the federal guvmint is going to send in the black helicopters and seize the private arsenals of law-abiding citizens.
This is an important bit of legislation because, well, you know, this happens all the time: federal agents storming the country to seize weapons. Why just the other day it happened in, well, I don't remember, but you just know it's happening all the time, somewhere, or else we wouldn't need to set up our county sheriffs as the first line of defense. And our own county sheriff has authored a letter to the president saying that he is not about to help enforce any federal gun legislation — even though nothing new has been adopted and he has no idea what future legislation might look like.
There are about 2,400 agents in the entire federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. That's for the whole nation. There are about 300 million guns out there (nobody knows, really). So it seems like each of the federal agents would have to be able to carry a rather heavy load, with the local sheriff in hot pursuit. Never mind that the feds have the technology to put a remote-control missile down the barrel of your musket anytime they want.
We can all rest easier knowing that, with the blessing of the legislature, the county sheriff will be there to stop them.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by flyr it does make a difference in the taste tryed an experiment. using the aerator and straight from the bottle. It did improve the taste. September 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mary Woke up my taste buds I like wine well enough, not an avid drinker, and my dad brought this to our house this week along with his bottle of wine. He said, "You gotta try my new toy!" He offered up a before/after taste test and I couldn't believe the difference the aeration made! It made the wine snappier and woke up my taste buds! I may well be a convert! December 21, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Black&White The Difference is UNDENIABLE I was a skeptic. For anything less that a wine connoisseur (and I am certainly less than one myself) I wasn't sure how much of a difference the Vinturi would make. It is afterall, quite pricey (and more so that some other aerators). The first glass of wine that I poured through the Vinturi was the best glass of wine I'd ever had (you can imagine how it has since affected my favorite wines.) The bouquet (smell) is amazingly open: suddenly those of us less "wine astute" can detect each of those fruits and "hints of chocolate." But the real selling point in the change in taste. There is NO comparison between a red wine that has been aerated and one that has not. Whether you are a wine aficionado, you drink 1/2 a glass everyday for your heart (as I do), or you just like to have a glass or two every week - you MUST try this product. March 14, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Trina D. This dramatically improves the taste! This is the best investment I've made to improve the taste of wine. It will open up the wine beautifully and makes it taste so much better. You'll be able to drink the wine without letting it sit out for an hour. These make great Christmas gifts! December 19, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by iHeartWine Wonderful! I went on a wine tour in Fredericksburg, Tx the first winery we went to used this product. He let us sample the wines before and then after using the aerator and WOW!!! You can absolutely taste the difference. You get the same results as decanting a wine for over an hour but in only seconds. Truly amazing, if you Love wine or even just kind of like wine this is a MUST. Best investment I've ever made. November 15, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by wine luvr Love it! You must own this. It is quick and easy to use, and you will notice the difference in taste immediately. You no longer have to wait for the wine to "air out". I received it as a gift and it is seriously one of the best gifts ever! September 30, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kelly the realtor This is great! I received this as a gift and my husband was skeptical until he tasted the wine himself after using it. Best gift I have ever received and plan to give these at christmas to close friends! December 1, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by Astute Wine Guy Works As Advertised - three years of use I was one of the first to use the Vinturi - it works! Don't let the naysayers sway you. This will improve the experience of your expensive or inexpensive wine. It will help open the wine. Sometimes, I will pull the wine through the Vinturi 2-3 times on young or heavy reds. I took the Vinturi to tastings at wineries where the winemaker would show interest. After tasting with and without the Vinturi, he took down the name of the product to purchase several for his sales staff. Of course, it also helps to drink your wine at the correct temperature to bring out the flavor. So make sure to chill your reds (75-85 degrees is not serving temperature - get it down - try the freezer for 20 minutes for a quick fix if you don't have a cave). The Vinturi can be messy until you get the hang of it. So keep on trying and have a paper towel or two with you. I take my Vinturi to tastings, wineries, restaurants, everywhere I'm drinking wine. Enjoy! And purchase without hesitation. October 4, 2009

Capital of the present Polish Republic, since the fire that destroyed the royal castle of de Cracow in 1596, Warsaw (in Polish Warszawa, from the name of two lovers on whom a mediaeval fable confers the role of the city's founders) is located in the Centre-East of the country, in the heart of the Mazovian plain. This is crossed from South to North by the Vistula, the river from which a mermaid, now the city's emblem, is said to have appeared, convincing our two lovers of the destiny awaiting this place.

Rated 5 out of 5 by paulsnj Decorative Coral Ordered a set of these - Turquoise Coral 1 and Turquoise Coral 2. Love both! They add soft color to my bedroom walls. Quick delivery service, excellent packaging to protect the glass on the pictures. March 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hugs Perfect This picture is beautiful. You can't tell from the photo, but the print looks like it's a watercolor and it's mounted a little off the back. It looks like an expensive piece of art. The frame is like a gilded gold. Very nice. January 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kels86 What I expected This is exactly what I expected, but unfortunately this was shipped defected and the image was detached from the matte. The backing is put together with staples and I feel like just buying this I shouldn't have to fix it. The glue or adhesive must have not been that strong . July 16, 2014

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Herbs
Herbs for Health (page 2 of 2)
by Suzanne DeJohn
Staying Current
It's mind-boggling to try to keep up with all the latest news on health and nutrition. Fortunately, most of the health recommendations follow a pattern: eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, and, now, herbs. This is not exactly a hardship, especially for us gardeners. A Web search on the subject of antioxidants yields literally hundreds of sites (many of which are trying to sell you the latest and greatest supplements). It pays to note the source of the information and look at the "fine print." For example, in the study cited above, oregano is said to have four times more antioxidants per gram than blueberries. While that sounds impressive at first, consider just how much fresh oregano you're willing to munch. I'm more inclined to eat the larger amount of blueberries at a sitting!
*Antioxidants are a group of compounds that researchers believe help prevent cancer, heart disease, and stroke. They do this by destroying free radicals, which are charged molecules generated by a variety of sources, including smoking and exposure to pesticides. The results of the study were published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, November, 2001.

Doesn't matter how you win... though I don't like that they let off the gas pedal near the end there. TCU was a hapless team offensively, but you could tell ISU didn't have any motivation to really hand it to them in the 2nd half.
Go Sssssssssyclones!
so does Tyrus always chew gum after games?
Not a memorable game, just a W in the record book. On to Tech.
It's all building towards a huge game vs. KSU on 1/26 at Hilton. Can't wait to be there.
Tyrus has been a bit off on his 3's the last two games. I think he is 3-13. Really need him to stay on track.

I am worried about getting past Tech right now. They will be ready for us and that game is very much at risk.
Nice to grind out a victory. I'll take an ugly double digit road victory any day of the week.
Ugly win is win. Otherwise, not real pleased with that effort.
Sloppy and lazy. Thanks to TCU for being TCU.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed

Game was never in doubt really, and ISU toyed with them really. I will take it. Dead arena, long way from home, against a really bad team that plays slooooow. Not going to come out and light the world on fire every night, so doesn't hurt emotionally to have a game where you can coast a bit. . Nothing wrong with that. Lot to work on obviously as always.
With Fred's demeanor, I think they get up when they have to.
I hope when TCU comes here, they **** their pants cuz of the noise and we blow them out by 25+

Jodie Foster's Strategy for Success
On making opportunities happen:
"I wasn't the original actor on The Brave One. It was Nicole Kidman. I also replaced her in Panic Room. I kept bugging Warner Bros. and [producer] Joel Silver, 'Look, in a year from now, if [The Brave One] doesn't come together, I really want to be on this film. But I have to warn you, I think it needs at least six months' worth of work.' So a year later, they came to me and said, 'You're right. We'd like you to come and work.' As an actress, if I sat around waiting for a perfect script to drop in my lap, I would wait forever. I have to work at it."
On having a master plan:
"I have a plan for everything. I design everything ahead of time, to a fault. In five years, I want to do this, in two years I want to do that. I planned my family — 'Now I'm ready.'"
On being a young star in the spotlight:
"Thank god when I was 18 they didn't have people following you around; they respected the fact that I was 18. There wasn't that star status when I was coming up as a young actor, and you didn't get paid very much. Now you'll have 20-year-olds making huge amounts of money. It's just a different time. I was also different than [today's young stars] are. I didn't want to be a famous actor and I wasn't even sure I wanted to be an actor. So I was in it for different reasons."
Jodie Foster's Take on Parenting
On being a mom:
"There's a lot about me that's like my mom, but she's a different generation. My mom has never held a ball in her hand in her life. I have two boys. Now I really see the differences. She starts with the Barbie thing. And I'm like, 'No Barbies. What are you thinking, Mom?'"
On being a complete woman:
"Having children hasn't changed the person I am. It's reconfirmed who I was. I would not be doing the same things or living in the same places or pursuing the same things if I hadn't had children. There are many things that I know that I sacrificed because I had kids. And no, I wouldn't change anything. But I'm sick of hearing that every woman should have children and if they don't, they're not whole."

Drexel has long been known for its excellence in engineering and the sciences, but we think of the whole campus as a laboratory. Our facilities are state-of-the-art, and we make them available to all undergraduates. Even better, we encourage students to experiment across disciplines, pairing game designers with nursing students, dancers with engineers, entrepreneurs with mathematicians, and more.

Like the fossils she's unearthed, Aja Carter has come a long way (although her trip was a few million years shorter). A North Philadelphia native, her journey began when her kindergarten teacher asked her which animal she'd like as a pet. Thinking of her favorite book, she replied that she wanted the iconic Tyrannosaurus Rex. When her teacher explained that it wasn't possible because dinosaurs are extinct, Aja resolved to find out why.
We don't all take childhood questions like these so seriously, but Aja's different.
Now an Undergraduate at Drexel studying Paleontology, her search for answers has turned up even more questions. But for Aja, that's the point. "I'm learning to ask the right things," she says, explaining that the small paleontology community at Drexel has allowed her to work closely with graduate students and professors and to benefit from their experience. It's not a one-way relationship, though. That's why she's currently planning to build a catalog of the Academy of Natural Science's extensive specimen collection to assist her colleagues in their own research.
Of course, Aja's making discoveries of her own. She made her first on a dig in Montana alongside fellow Drexel students. At first, the experience made her question her dedication to paleontology – the Montana countryside was well outside of the comfort zone of this devoted city-dweller. She nearly returned home empty-handed until a routine hike on the last day of the dig led her to an unexpected cache of fossilized dinosaur remains.
That moment reminded her of her mission. "It's seeing a world that isn't here anymore," she explains. And she knows that paleontological discoveries have important implications for a broad range of topics including anatomy, biomechanics, ecology, cellular biology, evolutionary heritage, and climate study. That vision sustains her as she continues her research. For the fossils, the journey has come to an end. But Aja's just getting started.

Best of Total Beauty: All Our Best Beauty Product Stories in One Place
I should have known my trip to the dermatologist wasn't going to end well when I walked in and saw the derm's diploma was hanging lopsided on the wall. It should have been my cue that this man was not precise -- something you desperately need when it comes to checking for signs of skin cancer. After a handful of malignant moles and one basal cell carcinoma later, I am vigilant about coming in for bi-annual skin cancer checks. So when I found an unusual mole on my derriere (self checks are important too!), I knew I had to skip the embarrassment and get it checked out. read more

But with every vacation comes the not-so-fun chore of packing the perfect beauty bag -- after all, you don't want to be tempted to go on a picture-deleting spree once you realize all your vacation pics feature frizzy hair and an oily visage. When you're heading off to your destination of choice, don't put a damper on your trip by packing the wrong products -- or, worse, forgetting some essentials entirely. We've put together a must-have list for four different types of locales with tips on how to make these products work specifically for your spring vacation destination. read more
Ah, springtime. The sun is out, the flowers are blooming ... aaand you're sneezing up your lungs, unleashing a flood of tears every two seconds and scratching your skin repeatedly. Yes, allergy season is officially upon us and allergists say we're in for a doozy this season, thanks to the atypically long winter. read more
After enduring winter's snowstorms, cold snaps and bone-dry air, we welcome spring's arrival. But daffodils and sunshine aren't the only reasons we get excited for spring; the warm season is a breath of fresh air for our skin care regimens. We can chuck the thick creams and greasy balms we needed to protect our traumatized skin in winter for lighter, less intense products -- that is, if you've been taking proper care of your skin. If you've been going about your regimen the wrong way, then you may still require some special TLC as you transition to spring. Take the quiz to find out what spring skin care product you need. read more
Cold weather is good for some things like skiing, snowmen and the occasional hot toddy consumption, but for your skin, it's torture. That's why, by the time spring comes around, your dry, cracked skin is fed up and ready for a little taste of spring time weather. See recipes

It's a fact of life: Our bodies aren't perfect. We're not talking about muffin tops and love handles, but those other annoying body blemishes that make us want to run for cover -- bruises, spider veins, stretch marks and scars.

Just take a tip from the flawless-seeming Victoria's Secret models: When they strut down the runway, those amazing bodies are thanks, in part, to layers and layers of body makeup. We're not suggesting you spend all day contouring a six-pack that isn't there, but there are a few tricks you can steal to hide a tattoo from your in-laws or cover up bruises for a big event.

|Men's tennis opens strong
MOSCOW, Idaho - The Idaho men's tennis team split up to compete in the Baylor Fall Tournament in Waco, Texas and the EWU/GU Invitational in Cheney, Wash., over the weekend, and turned some heads in both events.
Four Vandals -- Lachlan Reed, Alex Joitoiu, Marius Cirstea and Jose Bendeck - travelled to Waco, Texas for the highly competitive Baylor Fall Tournament where they all played in the top-tier A flight, and posted excellent results.
Cirstea knocked off the fourth seeded player in the 64-man tournament, Texas Tech's Gonzalo Escobar in three sets, 6-2, 0-6, 6-1 in the opening round. Equally as impressive, Joitoiu earned a first-round win over the tournament's seventh seeded player, Alexey Grigorov of Texas A&M, 6-2, 6-3. Lachlan Reed also found himself in the round of 32 after beating Texas A&M's John Lewis, 7-6, 0-6, 6-1.
"Lachlan and Alex had wins over players from No. 10 Texas A&M, with Alex's opponent Grigorov being the former No. 5 junior player in the world," Idaho men's tennis coach Jeff Beaman said. "Marius beat the No. 4 seed in the tournament from No. 15 Texas Tech, and has shown if he can keep his head together and improve a few small things in his game he can beat anybody in college tennis."
Bendeck was the only Vandal to not advance to the round of 32 in the tournament, narrowly missing a first-round victory with a 6-7, 7-5, 4-6 loss. Bendeck won his first two matches in the consolation round, beating Szymon Tatarczyk of Purdue and Daniel Sanchez of TCU.
"For Jose this was an extremely tough event to kick off his college career but with his wins over Tatarczyk from Purdue who was as high as No. 63 in the world ITF junior rankings and Daniel Sanchez from TCU, I am really excited about his potential once he gets in better shape and back to being match tough," Beaman said.
Bendeck and Reed teamed up to compete in the doubles bracket, as well as Cirstea and Joitoiu, but both duos suffered 8-4 losses in the opening round.
"The Baylor fall tournament is one of the premier events of the fall, many of the teams that send players are top 30 programs," Beaman said. "Our guys need to play the top guys in the nation to see where we want to be. We did this with all four players playing in the top A flight for singles and we had some really good results which shows we are starting to get to the level that we will be able to compete with the top teams in the nation."
In Cheney, Wash., Idaho junior Alan Shin reigned supreme, winning the men's singles A flight with five consecutive victories. Shin was the No. 2 seeded player in the tournament, and clinched the win with a victory over third seeded Bryan Thorp from the University of Portland. Kevin Lee advanced to the round of 16 for Idaho with an opening round win over Gonzaga's Scott Sullivan.
Abid Akbar advanced to the quarterfinals of the consolation bracket after a 6-4, 6-2 win over Gonzaga's Pablo Perez.
On the doubles side, two out of three Idaho doubles teams won their first-round matchup, as Shin and Andrew Dobbs beat Patrick Boorkman and Simon Meske of Seattle University, 8-4, and Lee and Akbar beat Montana's Josh Smith and Andrew Warren 8-2. Jake Knox and Sam Lyons fell in the opening round of doubles action for the Vandals.
The Vandals will be back in action Oct. 8-10 at the Boise State fall invitational in Boise, Idaho.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I live on the island of Kauai, where the milkman Jared Lintner did some videos for TW. Bought a couple of the duo spy baits & used the grass minnow color to catch some big 4 plus lb., peacock bass, they absolutely crush them, they are the real deal, because normally peacocks are hard to catch here with lures. Most people use live bait to seduce um, get'em they really work!
From: Hawaiian Tucman: Kauai, HI 5/2/16
Comments: I bought the Prism Gill color and tied it on one day when there was no activity and I couldn't get a bite to save my life. Once I started using it I caught 7 fish in the next hour. It does not discriminate. I caught catfish, crappie, bass, and this thing cuts through the wind amazingly. The only problem was I could NOT keep anything hooked except two crappie. The hooks are sticky sharp so I couldn't understand what my problem was. I haven't been able to find the sinking rate anywhere but in my personal experience when fished on 8lb line was it sinks ~1ft/sec. I will definitely be buying other sizes and colors. Great lure, the way it shimmies on the fall is unlike anything else.
From: Daniel: MD 7/26/15
Comments: I absolutly love these things! My only problem with them is you'll catch every spicies of fish in your waters. Crappie kill this thing! It gets the largies pretty well though. Think highly pressured lakes, bluebird sky's... Try it!
From: Ryan: Newburgh, IN 7/27/14
Comments: Bought one of these to try out after watching few youtube vids. During a tournament me and my partner had fish blowing up everywhere around us chasing minnow and shad schools. We were tossing flukes and kept getting short strikes even with a trebel trailer hook. So I tied this on and caught 3 fish consecutively to find out they were white bass and not the mean greens we were looking for. So it does catch fish and im pretty sure largemouth and especially smallmouth will absolutely crush this thing.
From: R.D.: Manchester, TN 6/26/14
Comments: Love this bait, when it sinks it shimmers from side to side flashing it's patterns. Successful on first trip out with it. Used six lb fluorocarbon, which may have inhibited the shimmer action a little.
From: Paul: Chula Vista, CA 6/21/14
Comments: Fished it for the first time last weekend and caught some fish despite tough conditions. Fished it on 8 lb line and a spinning rod. Casts like a bullet. Have not fished a spybait before last weekend and I think I will like this technique.
From: Brandon: Liverpool, NY 6/13/14
Comments: Bait works well on my casting rod. ML Rod with 8 lb seaguar fluorocarbon line. Colors are great especially wakasagi and prism gill. Spybait all the way.
From: Jammin Outdoors: TX 6/12/14
Comments: Very, very, very cool bait. Just learning about the Spybaiting but the Duo brand is way better than the ohters.

VATICAN CITY Apr 1, 2005 Pope John Paul II suffered heart failure and is in "very grave" condition, the Vatican said Friday, but it said he was lucid and spent the morning celebrating Mass and receiving top aides, asking one to read him the biblical account of Christ's crucifixion and burial.
Spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls choked up with tears as he told reporters about the pope's worsening condition. He said the 84-year-old pontiff had been "informed of the gravity of his situation" and decided to remain in his apartment overlooking St. Peter's Square, where thousands of pilgrims gathered to pray for him.
John Paul participated in Mass and received some top aides Friday morning, Navarro-Valls said.
"The pope is still lucid, fully conscious and extraordinarily serene," Navarro-Valls said. He said the pope had unstable blood pressure and remained in "very grave" condition.
Among the top church officials who gathered at his bedside was Archbishop Paolo Sardi, the Vatican vice chamberlain who runs the Holy See between the death of a pope and the election of a new one.
Thousands stood vigil on the square outside, many tearfully gazing up at his third-floor window, and millions more around the world paused to pray for him.
In Wadowice, Poland, people left school and work early and headed to church to pray for their native son.
"I want him to hold on, but it is all in God's hands now," said 64-year-old Elzbieta Galuszko at the church where the pope was baptized in Wadowice, southern Poland. "We can only pray for him so he can pull through these difficult moments."
In the Philippines, tears streamed down the face of Linda Nicol as she and her husband asked God to grant John Paul "a longer life." Muslims in France were praying for the pontiff because he was a "man of peace," said Dalil Boubakeur, president of the French Council of the Muslim Faith.
Navarro-Valls said John Paul asked aides to read him the biblical passage describing the final stage of the Way of the Cross, the path that Christ took to his crucifixion. In that stage, according to the Bible, Christ's body was taken down from the cross, wrapped in a linen shroud and placed in his tomb.
