1997 Volleyball Outlook
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech's 1996 volleyball season was filled many so many positive points. The Red Raiders won 25 games- the most for a Tech team since 1990 and the second consecutive 20-win season for head coach Jeff Nelson. Tech earned its second consecutive NCAA tournament berth. Tech doubled its attendance figures and recorded the best one-year attendance turnaround in NCAA Division I. Additionally, Tech was the first team to surpass the 20-win total on the season, the only Big XII school to defeat Nebraska and was ranked in both the AVCA/USA Today and Volleyball Magazine polls all season. Not bad for a season with a coach only in his second year of building a program.
Most schools and coaches would kill for a chance to win 20 games and compete in the NCAA volleyball tournament. But not Nelson. He's accustomed to 20-win seasons and NCAA tournament appearances. Now, he his focus is to take the Texas Tech program to a new level never before seen in Lubbock. That next level is national title contending status. And no time in the history of the Tech volleyball program has the future ever looked so promising.
Gone are three starting seniors including GTE Academic All-America and All-Big XII Conference middle blocker Jill Burness, academic standout Courtney Thames and recent pro volleyball signee Lacy Nye. Those three athletes accounted for much of the 1996 Red Raider offense and will be tough to replace. But Nelson has brought in eight athletic newcomers including two transfer athletes and six true freshmen.
"Obviously, we lost Jill and Lacy, who was a great personality and loved to play," Nelson said. "Our other senior Courtney Thames had been a four-year starter and defensively was as good as anybody. We lose some things there in terms of leadership and kids who were confident and solid in their positions, but what we've gained from that is kids who are more athletic, that have even more potential."
Eight letterwinners and three starters return from last year's 25-9 (12-8) team. Junior setter and co-captain Lisa Hilgers, a two year starter who led the Raiders in assists the past two years, is now comfortable in her role as team leader. She will lead the team from the all-important setter position. Junior co-captain Kristen Holmes, a former walk-on, will provide stability, outstanding leadership, desire and valuable experience from her outside hitter position.
Two seniors elected to return for their final season of eligibility in outside hitters Cristine Martin and Brande Brown. Because of an injury-shortened freshman season, Martin is petitioning to play with a fifth year of eligibility, while Brown has decided to return for her final year after graduating this past year.
Other returning players include junior middle blocker Sonia Moric, who provided strength off the bench last year, junior outside hitter Angela Cooper, who performed brilliantly in a starting role last year against Nebraska, junior defensive specialist Kim Breitbach, who provides the Raiders with solid and experienced back row skills, along with two athletic sophomore outside hitters in Heather Fife-Berres and Courtney Putnam. Nelson will look to the ultra-athletic Putnam, who established herself during the spring and on the trip to Italy, to provide offensive firepower. Two 1996 freshman redshirts, middle blocker Janelle Jones and outsider hitter Pam Osterfeld, will also join the mix and push for playing time. Jones, who was named last year's Most Improved Player, is the frontrunner to start at middle blocker.
Nelson also has the luxury of a top-flight recruiting class with six true freshmen including outside hitters Jodi Jones (Wichita Falls) and Heather Hughes (Scottsdale, Ariz.), middle blockers Emily Brengman (Chaska, Minn.), Ashley Frogge' (Collinsville, Okla.) and Kate Jury (Liberty, Mo.) along with setter Ebony Smith (Duncanville). Tech also added two transfers in left-handed outside hitters Natalie Rives (Samford) and Elizabeth Hamilton (South Carolina-Aiken). Rives will push heavily for playing time.
"I think our middle will be extremely strong again this year. Lisa (Hilgers) runs the middle as well as anybody and from anywhere on the court. I think we'll be solid with our middle blocking. Our biggest improvement will be our outside hitting adding one or two bigger players out there who can flat out hit over a block. Courtney Putnam will be a huge addition to the starting lineup and has the ability to control a match when she's hitting the ball where she needs to be successful. Our strength will be on offense where we're considerably bigger and our weakness will be ball control. That's what we're going to have to spend a lot of time on because we're a little less experienced."
Depthwise, Tech will extremely strong as Nelson will be able to play more players. "We've got 10-12 kids we can put on the court on not even think about it," Nelson said. "We can now go through an injury without missing a beat."
Texas Tech will again compete in the toughest volleyball conference in the country, the Big XII Conference, in its second year of competition. Proof of that dominance was the fact that six team earned NCAA Tournament berths, the most of any conference.
Change is apparent among the conference teams as three top conference schools who earned NCAA tournament berths last year have new coaches including Kansas State, Texas and Colorado. Oklahoma will be experienced with all but one starter returning, while Kansas State is extremely talented and Baylor could be the surprise of the conference. Kansas, Missouri and Iowa State have all added new recruits to bolster their programs. Nelson looks for 1996 conference champion Nebraska and Texas A&M to be the co-favorites in 1997.
"Top to bottom, it's going to be really tough," Nelson said. "I feel that we can play with any of the teams on any of the nights. We can go into every match expecting to but I don't think we can win every match. Nobody can go through the conference expecting to win every match. Top to bottom, the team that's compared, on their toes and ready will have the most success. You can't afford too many losses. One stable team that comes out ready to go will end up doing the best.
"Nebraska is clearly the favorite again but I think Texas A&M is right there as a co-favorite. Texas will be very good-they have an outstanding new head coach. They'll do good. Oklahoma has a lot of potential and is a very good team. Colorado should be strong again with a good coach and five starters back. Kansas State is extremely talented, has a new coach, but lost a couple good players but also recruited some good players. Baylor, whose coach is in her second year, looked much better than they have in the past and will be a surprise this year and Kansas will be considerably better."

Good Friday, perhaps the most solemn day on the Christian liturgical calendar, reminds us all to pause and reflect upon how suffering, oppression, and tyranny can affect all of humankind. Blind faith and religious intolerance, both fans that stir the flames of zealotry, overlook the power of Love to overcome. These poems written about Good Friday, the day that commemorates Christ Jesus' crucifixion, are but some of the poems written to express some of the diverse feelings about this act that left a lasting impression on the world.
Good Friday, 1613, Riding Westward
by John Donne
LET man's soul be a sphere, and then, in this,
Th' intelligence that moves, devotion is;
And as the other spheres, by being grown
Subject to foreign motion, lose their own,
And being by others hurried every day,
Scarce in a year their natural form obey;
Pleasure or business, so, our souls admit
For their first mover, and are whirl'd by it.
Hence is't, that I am carried towards the west,
This day, when my soul's form bends to the East.
There I should see a Sun by rising set,
And by that setting endless day beget.
But that Christ on His cross
did rise and fall,
Sin had eternally benighted all.
Yet dare I almost be glad, I do not see
That spectacle of too much weight for me.
Who sees God's face, that is self-life, must die;
What a death were it then to see God die?
It made His own lieutenant, Nature, shrink,
It made His footstool crack, and the sun wink.
Could I behold those hands, which span the poles
And tune all spheres at once, pierced with those holes?
Could I behold that endless height, which is
Zenith to us and our antipodes,
Humbled below us? or that blood, which is
The seat of all our souls, if not of His,
Made dirt of dust, or that flesh which was worn
By God for His apparel, ragg'd and torn?
If on these things I durst not look, durst I
On His distressed Mother cast mine eye,
Who was God's partner here, and furnish'd thus
Half of that sacrifice which ransom'd us?
Though these things as I ride be from mine eye,
They're present yet unto my memory,
For that looks towards them; and Thou look'st towards me,
O Saviour, as Thou hang'st upon the tree.
I turn my back to Thee but to receive
Corrections till Thy mercies bid Thee leave.
O think me worth Thine anger, punish me,
Burn off my rust, and my deformity;
Restore Thine image, so much, by Thy grace,
That Thou mayst know me, and I'll turn my face.
All in an April Evening by Katharine Tynan
All in the April morning,
April airs were abroad;
The sheep with their little lambs
Pass'd me by on the road.
The sheep with their little lambs
Pass'd me by on the road;
All in an April evening
I thought on the Lamb of God.
The lambs were weary, and crying
With a weak human cry,
I thought on the Lamb of God
Going meekly to die.
Up in the blue, blue mountains
Dewy pastures are sweet:
Rest for the little bodies,
Rest for the little feet.
But for the Lamb of God
Up on the hill-top green,
Only a cross of shame
Two stark crosses between.
All in the April evening,
April airs were abroad;
I saw the sheep with their lambs,
And thought on the Lamb of God.
The Carpenter's Son
by A.E. Houseman
"Here the hangman stops his cart:
Now the best of friends must part.
Fare you well, for ill fare I:
Live, lads, and I will die.
"Oh, at home had I but stayed
'Prenticed to my father's trade,
Had I stuck to plane and adze,
I had not been lost, my lads.
"Then I might have built perhaps
Gallows-trees for other chaps,
Never dangled on my own,
Had I left but ill alone.
"Now, you see,
they hang me high,
And the people passing by
Stop to shake their fists and curse;
So 'tis come from ill to worse.
"Here hang I, and right and left
Two poor fellows hang for theft:
All the same's the luck we prove,
Though the midmost hangs for love.
"Comrades all, that stand and gaze,
Walk henceforth in other ways;
See my neck and save your own:
Comrades all, leave ill alone.
"Make some day a decent end,
Shrewder fellows than your friend.
Fare you well, for ill fare I:
Live lads, and I will die."
Moriah's Song
by Theresa Roberts Johnson
Strong, obedient, perfect ram,
Led by the God of Abraham
Up Moriah's lonely hill
To fulfill His holy will.
Abraham was led here too,
With the wood that he did hew
Carried by his only son,
And other offering there was none.
"Behold the wood, behold the fire,
But where's the lamb that we require?"
"God will provide, my precious child.
So on they walked into the wild.
The altar built, the child lay down;
From heaven came a welcome sound.
"Stay your hand, O faithful one
Who did not spare your only son."
Just then the ram bowed down its head,
Prepared to die in Isaac's stead.
Lift your eyes, behold the Lamb,
The perfect One, the Great I Am.
And for those of us who know what it must have felt like for Maria/Mary to stand at the foot of the cross and watch her Son's crucifixion:
"This child is like a pearl,
Some men will forfeit everything
To have his love, while others cling
To worthless things and forfeit life.
He is a source of peace—and strife.
And many thoughts he will reveal
That men have thought they could conceal.
And you, most blessed woman too,
Will see what wicked men can do.
Your love to him will take its toll,
And like a sword will pierce your soul." from John Piper in "Simeon"
Older than eternity, now he
is new. Now native to earth as I am, nailed
to my poor planet, caught
that I might be free, blind in my womb
to know my darkness ended,
brought to this birth for me to be new-born,
and for him to see me mended
I must see him torn.
( from "Accompanied by Angels" by Luci Shaw)
The God of curved space,
the dry
God, is not going to help us, but the son
whose blood splattered
the hem of his mother's robe.
(from "Looking at Stars" by Jane Kenyon)

April 14, 2013
DEKALB, Ill. – The Northern Illinois men's golf team will compete in Northwestern's Kemper Intercollegiate Monday, April 15 and Tuesday, April 16 at the Glen Club in Glenview, Ill.This is the inaugural spring event for Northwestern, which also hosts the Windon Memorial Classic that NIU has attended in the past. Besides the Huskies and host Wildcats, the field will include Ohio State, Marquette, St. John's, DePaul, Loyola (Chicago), Chicago State, Bradley, IUPUI, Illinois State, Western Illinois, Ohio, and Dayton. "The course is wet, but it's a great golf course," said NIU head coach Tom Porten. "I'm excited to see how we play this week. Last summer, Griffin (Bauman) finished 13th here in the Illinois Open, the course is playing a little different than it did last July, but I know he likes the golf course and he had a good practice round today."I'm also looking forward to seeing how Bryce (Emory) plays after his win at Texas State. It is a similar golf course in that it plays long, which is good for him, and if he can repeat his performance with his tee ball that he had at Texas State, I think he has a chance to contend."The Huskies enter the tournament coming off a tenth-place showing at the Jim West Intercollegiate in McKinney, Texas. Senior Bryce Emory (Aurora, Ill./Marmion Academy) earned his first collegiate victory last week in the Lone Star State, shooting even par for the event at TPC Craig Ranch. The cumulative score of 216 put him in a playoff with TCU's Sarosh Adi, who fell to Emory's clinching birdie on the third sudden-death playoff hole. The victory was NIU's first since Jeff Dick won the Bearcat Invitational in October 2010. It also earned him his second set of Mid-American Conference Golfer of the Week honors, having also turned the trick in early March for his to- five at the Forest Hills Collegiate. Emory will look to maintain that momentum this week at the Glen Club.Redshirt senior Griffin Bauman (Crystal Lake, Ill./Central) was NIU's top finisher outside of Emory last week, posting a tie for 46th. Bauman did manage a two-under-par 70 in the second round which tied for third among the lowest individual rounds shot by Huskies this year. Rounding out Porten's lineup card will be freshman Connor Nelson (Roscoe, Ill./Hononegah), sophomore Nick Schiavi (Barrington, Ill./Barrington) and redshirt senior Greg Pohlmann (Decatur, Ill./Lakeview/Iowa Western CC). Nelson was the team's third-best finisher at TPC Craig Ranch in his second-career start in Porten's lineup. Schiavi returns to the NIU lineup after missing out on the Jim West Intercollegiate and Pohlmann makes his first start of the spring after playing in three tournaments during the fall. Northern Illinois will challenge the Glen Club, one of the most-lauded courses in the state. A perennial favorite of golf industry publications, it has consistently ranked among the top-five Best Courses You Can Play in Illinois according to GolfWeek. The Tom Fazio design will reach 7,149 yards and play to par 72 for this event.Live scoring will be available at GolfStat.com. NIU will tee off their first 36 holes at 8:00 a.m., on Monday.

Eli Lilly and Company will make a $150-million expansion to its drug discovery research activities in Singapore. The Lilly Centre for Systems Biology (LSB) will undergo changes over the next five years. The project, a partnership with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), will take advantage of local biomedical expertise and, potentially, fuel translational medicine growth in Singapore.
"Our expansion at Lilly's facility is significant in that it confirms the success we have had here in Singapore in our biomarker research and the development of information technology tools that support our discovery biology efforts," remarks Steven Paul, M.D., executive vp of science and technology. "It is also important because the research that we conduct here in Singapore supports Lilly's aggressive drug discovery program worldwide."
Lilly established the Lilly-NUS Centre for Clinical Pharmacology, a joint venture with the National University of Singapore and the EDB, in 1996. This Phase I clinical pharmacology unit is now a fully owned Lilly facility, and provides a substantial portion of the clinical pharmacology capacity for Lilly.
The growing facility will be renamed the Lilly-Singapore Centre for Drug Discovery and build on Lilly's existing capabilities in biomarker discovery and development, primarily in cancer research. New drug discovery capabilities will be developed in cancer and metabolism. Other areas of focus will include epigenetic biology, adult stem cell biology, disease state modeling, and computational sciences.

DENVER, Colo. — The Oregon Ducks closed out the 2013 season with a 14-6 loss at No. 11 on Friday afternoon.
Oregon finishes the year 8-9 overall and 3-5 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. Denver, which has won 14-straight overall, is now 16-1 and 8-0 in conference play. The Pioneers clinched the regular season championship last week and will be the No. 1 seed at next week's MPSF Tournament in Eugene.
Senior Kate Cathell and junior Shannon Propst each recorded two goals to pace the Ducks today. Propst, who set the single season points record last Sunday, finishes the year with 68 total points (29 goals, 39 assists). Her 39 assists is also a single season record.
Nikki Puszcz and Hayley Milner accounted for the Ducks' two other goals.
Denver opened up a 4-0 lead to start the game but the Ducks closed the half on a 4-0 run to make it a tie game heading into the break.
But in the second, the Pioneers came out firing and scored the first five goals of the half to take a 9-4 lead with 17:36 to go. Denver's Jill Remenapp and Rachael McKinnon accounted for four of those five goals.
Oregon pulled to within three (9-6) after Propst scored her second goal with 14:05 left, but Denver's second 5-0 blitz of the half put the game out of reach.
Denver out-shot the Ducks, 37-22, and won the draw control battle, 12-10. Oregon registered 15 ground balls to Denver's 16.
Senior Bridget Morrison scooped up two ground balls in the game. She finishes her career with 99 ground balls, good enough for sixth all-time at Oregon. Junior Caroline Federighi made 10 saves and senior Salliebeth Finnegan posted one save in the final match of her career.
In addition to Cathell, Morrison and Finnegan, Friday's game also closed out the careers of Maggie Kovacs, Ashley Inman and Dominique Christiansen.
The 2013 MPSF Lacrosse Tournament will be held in Eugene next week. Semifinal action begins on Thursday (May 2) at 4:30 p.m. Saturday's (May 4) championship is scheduled for 1 p.m. Fans can visit the tournament website for more information.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.?- Arizona junior guard Natalie Jones has been named the U.S. Bank Pac-10 Women's Basketball Player of the Week for Feb. 7- 13, Commissioner Tom Hansen announced today.
Jones, a native of Anchorage, Alaska, averaged 20.0 points, 4.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals in two games last week as Arizona swept UCLA and USC. On the weekend, she shot 75.0 percent from the field (12-of-16), 77.8 percent from beyond the arc (7-of-9) and 81.8 percent (9-of-11) from the foul line.
In Arizona's 76-73 victory over UCLA on Feb. 10, Jones led Arizona with a career-high 25 points on 8-of-12 shooting, including a 4-of-6 mark from three-point range. She also added four rebounds and three steals.
In the 87-74 win over USC on Feb. 12, Jones was one of five Wildcats in double-figure scoring, finishing with 15 points on a perfect 4-of-4 from the field and 3-of-3 from beyond the arc. She was also 4-of-5 at the line and dished out six assists.
The Player of the Week honor is the first for Jones and is the 34th all-time selection for Arizona.
Arizona (17-8, 9-5) is tied for third in the conference race heading into this week's games. The Wildcats travel to the Northwest to face Oregon State and Oregon this Thursday and Saturday, respectively.

Flash floods in Afghanistan have displaced thousands of people who need food aid. The UN World Food Programme (WFP) said yesterday it has distributed emergency rations to 1600 victims in Baghlan Province. Other areas have been impacted by floods as well.
Claude Jibidar, WFP Afghanistan country director, says, "The past six weeks have seen repeated floods and landslides in many parts of Afghanistan, and WFP has systematically contributed to the emergency response. Our thoughts are with the families of those affected. WFP stands with the people of Afghanistan and is committed to continue providing humanitarian assistance in times of need."
High energy biscuits are being distributed as the first phase of relief. This food is very easy to transport and provides quick nutrition without cooking or special storage. A donation from Switzerland allowed for the biscuits to be produced locally in Afghanistan.
As soon as the roads can be reopened, additional foods such as wheat and pulses will be delivered. WFP officers are currently using helicopter to reach the distressed areas.
Wahidullah Amani of WFP Afghanistan reports, "Roads to the area are still blocked and the government is working to re-open them. As soon as the roads are open, we will deliver food to all affected families. It may take a few more days to open the roads."
WFP, which relies on voluntary donations, is helping Afghanistan fight hunger after years of conflict and extreme poverty. Natural disasters, such as flooding and drought, have added to the crisis. Some families have lost everything they own and need aid from WFP and other organizations to survive.
School feeding and Food for Work to rehabilitate agriculture are among other projects WFP is working on to help Afghans overcome hunger and poverty.

The Pacific Northwest puts a high premium on sound environmental policy, and its drainage needs are specific. Factors include quantity and quality of water runoff, and the necessity of keeping runoff securely inside the drainage system. Those needs are leading to an underground revolution in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho that is paying off for these state DOTs.
Nyloplast drainage structures, from Hilliard, Ohio-based Advanced Drainage Systems Inc. (ADS), are constructed of heavy-duty PVC. They have been approved for use in three northwest states, proving grounds for the pairing of the company's N-12 corrugated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and Nyloplast structures with watertight joints, durability, and resistance to corrosion and abrasion.
The Washington State DOT (WSDOT) first gave "approval with limitations" for the structures, and the Hydraulic Office and New Products Committee have viewed the product favorably. Initial installations have been in heavy-traffic areas like ferry terminals, rest-area parking lots, and park-and-ride lots. In order to gain experience, WSDOT also recommends that local agencies engage in similar evaluation procedures.
"We have been encouraging this use and concurring with the local public directors," said Matt Witecki, WSDOT supervisor of hydraulics. "That gives them an added comfort level, and gives us more projects to monitor."
After installing and testing the structures and following up with check-ups, WSDOT officials like what they see. "We like the way in which the N-12 pipe is attached to the inlets so you're assured of a perfect watertight seal, the fact that the PVC makes it corrosion resistant, and that there is a considerable cost savings when it comes to installation," said Witecki.
In the city of North Powder, Ore., Crestline Construction decided to use Nyloplast structures for the drainage system along a newly constructed section of Second Street, a state highway project.
"It's such a simple idea, how the drainage structures are made specifically for the project and how everything fits together so easily," said Ron Schmidt, manager of Crestline Construction.
Twenty-eight Nyloplast curb inlet drainage structures and four drain basins with standard H-25 rated ductile iron grates were installed along the edge of the street. Hank Keith, Crestline Construction superintendent, also calls it the easiest 5000-foot project he's ever been a part of, citing the structures' light weight, ease of handling, and interconnectivity with the pipe.
When Kevin Poole, project engineer and estimator for A&R Construction in Lewiston, Idaho, began work on a drainage system for the US 95 State of Idaho highway project, he turned to Nyloplast structures.
"We were raising and widening an existing highway from two lanes to five," said Poole. "I knew the drainage structures and ADS N-12 pipe were perfect for the project because of their watertight joints and ability to easily handle the runoff from the heavy storms we have here."
But before he could specify the structures, the Idaho DOT (IDT) had to approve them for statewide use. "Fortunately, they agreed to let us do the project as part of the research for their approval process," he said. Once research and testing are complete, each person on the review team has to give a stamp of approval on a product before it can be approved for use on a project.
The highway reconstruction project called for three Nyloplast area drains, 48 type 2 Nyloplast drain basins, and two type 3 Nyloplast drain basins with ductile iron grates, as well as a total of 5075 feet of N-12 pipe in various diameters.
More than a year after its installation, IDT officials are using installed cameras to verify that the system on US 95 is working as designed. "That's the only true way to tell," said Mike Dehlin, project development engineer for IDT. "And we couldn't be happier."
Thanks to that successful highway installation, several other Idaho projects using Nyloplast structures are in the works.

Albuquerque, N.M. ?- For the second consecutive match, the No. 61 Arizona men's tennis team (1-2) was upset in a close contest. Heading into singles play Arizona held a one point advantage, but the No. 63 Nebraska Cornhuskers (2-2) came from behind to win the match 4-3.
Picking up the first doubles win for the Wildcats was the team of Jason Labrosse and Ravid Hezi, who defeated Arturo Navarro and Francois Van Impe 8-2. To secure the opening point of the match, Arizona's Bruno Alcala and Claudio Christen teamed up to defeat David Bendheim and Mark Tate 8-4.
In singles No. 86 Claudio Christen was able to upset Nebraska's No. 78 Adrian Szatmary 6-3, 6-3 at the No. 1 spot. At the No. 2 position, junior Brunco Alcala lost his first match of the year 7-6(3), 6-1 to James Clow, a senior. After dropping matches at the three and four spot, Arizona was down 2-3. Freshman Alex Labrosse evened the match at three-apiece after pulling out a three set victory against freshman Francois Van Impe 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.

Nokia 515 announced. New Asha 502 (Pegasus) and Asha 503 (Lanai) coming soon
Nokia has announced a new and cheap handset, a non-smartphone called Nokia 515.
The 515 was unveiled in Moscow – which means the mysterious September 28 event that we told you about last week has turned out to be not quite important. The new phone is a candybar "wrapped in lightweight aluminum," and reportedly "combines the best of Nokia – contemporary design, high quality materials and top performance."
The handset uses Nokia's Series 40 UI, and features: a 2.4 inch QVGA display with Gorilla Glass 2, HSDPA, Mail for Exchange, Nokia Slam sharing service, Nokia XpressBrowser, 5MP rear camera with the ability to shoot in Panorama mode, MicroSD card support, and a 1,200 mAh battery.
The Nokia 515 will be available before the end of September, in black and white. Russia, Germany, Switzerland and Poland should be the first markets to get it. A dual SIM version will be released as well, but not globally. Both the dual and single SIM Nokia 515 handsets will have the same price: €115 before taxes and subsidies.
In related news, two new Nokia Asha semi-smartphones are also coming soon: the Asha 502 Pegasus, and the Asha 503 Lanai. These will likely be introduced as improved successors to the Asha 501 (which is available around the world since June). We will let you know more as soon as new details arrive.

|Vandal women advance
LAS VEGAS -- The Idaho women's basketball team built a commanding lead in the first half, and held on in the second in a 67-63 victory over San Jose State in the Western Athletic Conference quarterfinals at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
Idaho (12-19) buried nine 3-pointers and never trailed in the first half, taking a 41-24 advantage into the break. The Vandals shot 43 percent in the first half, and 56 percent from deep.
The second half, however, was a different story. Idaho went just 2-of-12 from long range and 7-of-25 overall as San Jose State outscored Idaho 39-26 and pulled within two in the final minute.
"It was a tale of two halves," Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. "We really came out on fire, we really played well, we defended extremely well in the first half. In the second half defensively we broke down at some points, but you have to give a lot of credit to Brittany (Johnson). In the second half we got tentative with the basketball and tentative with our shot selection, and it almost cost us. I'm proud of the way we hung tough though."
San Jose State senior Brittany Johnson led the Spartan charge, scoring 31 points on 11-of-21 shooting and 4-of-6 from 3-point distance before fouling out in the final seconds. Her fifth foul came with Idaho leading 65-63 with seven seconds left, which sent Idaho freshman Krissy Karr to the line, where she converted both free throws to seal the win.
"I've had to shoot free throws in some big games before in high school, but this was a little bit different," Karr said. "As soon as I saw the first one go in I felt pretty good about the second one."
Karr finished the game with 17 points to match her career-high, and added four rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes of action. Sophomore Alyssa Charlston missed her first seven shots but finished with 16 points on 5-of-15 shooting and added 15 rebounds for her 10th double-double of the season. Freshman Stacey Barr added 13 points and six rebounds for Idaho and made three 3-pointers.
"It's huge for us," Charlston said of the win. "We've been a team that's been improving all season long. We are peaking. We're improving and all of our younger players are getting playing time. You see points off the bench 18-1, that shows we have a lot of depth on our team. Just winning this game is going to bring a lot of confidence to us, not only for this next game but going into next season as well."
The Vandals shot 37 percent from the field for the game and 39 percent from 3-point range. SJSU, shot 36 percent overall and 40 percent from 3.
Idaho outrebounded SJSU 46-33 including 15-10 on the offensive end. The Vandals had 16 assists on 22 made baskets, and went a perfect 12-for-12 from the free throw line. Idaho had 17 turnovers to San Jose State's 10, which aided the Spartans' 16-10 advantage in points off turnovers.
Idaho led by as many as 19 points late in the first half after a 10-1 run, and never trailed in the game. San Jose State then used an 8-2 spurt early in the second half to build momentum, and continued to chip away throughout the period. The Spartans got the deficit to single-digits with under seven minutes to play but never had the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead.
Idaho, the fourth seed in the tournament, will have Thursday off before taking on top-seeded Fresno State at 2:30 on Friday.
"We'll go to a high school and practice and get ready for Fresno," Newlee said. "Of course we've already played them twice so I think we have a good feel for them and they have a good feel for us."
Idaho went 0-2 against the Bulldogs in the regular season, as Fresno State went 13-1 in WAC play.

Student Nurses: Bedpans and Bandages
12 February 2014
Bedpans and Bandages is a factual, fly on the wall documentary following the lives of student nurses at various stages in their quest to be a fully fledged staff nurse. Britain's Nurses was invited to review the first two episodes of this new ITV programme.
Judging from the frankly awful title, I was expecting it to be depressing and bland. Instead I found myself quickly warming to the central characters and getting emotionally involved with their stories.
What comes across straight away is their pride in the career they have chosen. This is a genuine pride in nursing.
Aimee looked after her grandad when he had a stroke and was there when he passed away at home, unable to save him. In an emotional segment Aimee says "I'll make him proud."
Helen always dreamed of being a children's nurse and is now fulfilling that dream. She absolutely loves her role even though the demands of fitting a degree around working on the wards doesn't do much for her work/ life balance: "I'm doing a lot more work than life."
The demands of modern nursing are realistically portrayed. Kelly does her first long day and tells her mentor "I've not seen you stop all day." At the end of her shift Kelly says:
I don't know how they do it every day. My feet are aching, my back is killing me and my legs are like jelly
One of the students is an ex medical rep, turned nurse called Takunda, known as TK. He works on a children's ward and has a tremendous natural rapport with his young patients. "In the first year I was like a mouse, but now I always introduce myself straight away." TK has little children of his own and again the programme shows the reality of a long day in nursing. The narrator casually mentions "TK is now in the 13th hour of his shift..."
The best thing about Bedpans and Bandages is that it simply allows the stories to unfold. There is not a big political agenda going on. We see real life events as they happen, and see and hear for ourselves how the students cope.
A mature student, Dany, nurses a seriously ill patient and then goes home at the end of her shift and worries about her wellbeing all night long. I think all of us have been there.
'She was the first thing I thought about when I woke up.'
I'm really pleased this is on prime time TV on a Friday night. It's a shame the first episode is on Valentine's Day, but in a way that is what nursing is all about. Friday/ Valentine's day/ Christmas day - they are all nursing days.
So far Bedpans and Bandages has covered a wide range of ward based nursing roles, with little coverage given to community nursing. I hope this will change in the coming episodes, but it's not a big gripe for a programme that makes you proud to be a nurse.
Please let us know what you think.
Matthew Jennings, News and Features Editor at Britain's Nurses
Student Nurses: Bedpans and Bandages airs on ITV1 at 8pm on Friday 14th February.

Believe it or not, the choice between taking life or
creating life is one that is very unclear to parents. In a poll on parent-oriented
gaming site What They Play, respondents were
asked to pick from a choice of four what
they found the most offensive in a video game.
The four choices offered were: a graphically severed human
head; a man and a woman having sex; multiple use of the F-word; or two men
Perhaps as a strange demonstration of social values, those
who voted in the poll reported that sexual matters of any sort were more offensive
than explicit violence or profanity. The leading pick as the most offensive act
in video game was "a man and woman having sex" at 37 percent. Off second place
with 27 percent was "two men kissing."
Next in second last place with 26 percent was the
anti-violence answer of "a graphically severed human head." In a distant fourth
was "multiple use of the F-word."
Informed parents are the best defence against exposure of
inappropriate material to children, though it appears that many are more
concerned about sexual matters than graphic violence.
Susan Arendt of Game|Life
shared the story of an encounter she once had in a game store: "A woman was
trying to buy her 12-year old daughter some games for Christmas, and
overhearing me talking about games, asked me for advice. She picked up one of
the Resident Evils and asked me if it was any good. I told her that it was an
excellent game, but quite violent and scary. 'Oh, that's no problem,' she
replied. 'But there's no, you know, people having relations in it, is
quote: This example is reflected not only in video games, but society in general. We spends millions, maybe billions of dollars on weapons development and the military. We glorify war, violence, and killing in movies and TV shows. Meanwhile, sex is taboo, and anything that has even a hint of sex is often considered sleazy, immoral, or just plain wrong. We've completely disregarded the fact that sex is natural and very much a necessity. I will never understand this, and it leads me to wonder how misguided we really are as a species.

According to a report Friday on ProMMAInsider.com, UFC light heavyweight contender Thiago Silva was arrested late on Thursday evening, after he barricaded himself into his South Florida home.
He was charged with resisting arrest and aggravated battery, and placed into jail in Broward County.
According to multiple reports, Silva was involved in an altercation at Pablo Popovitch Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Oakland Park, Fla. on Thursday night. It was said that he was armed during that confrontation.
He then fled the scene, returning to his home in Fort Lauderdale.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office then confirmed that a suspect was taken into custody after a SWAT team set up a perimeter around the residence, but declined to reveal his identity.
Fortunately, it has been reported that nobody was harmed at either the school or Silva's residence.
The UFC released a statement on the incident late Thursday evening.
"This evening, we were made aware of a situation involving Thiago Silva," the statement read. "We are in the process of gathering the facts and have no further comment at this time."
Thigo Silva (16-3) has been competing for the UFC since 2007. He was next scheduled to figt at UFC 171 on March 15 against Ovince St. Preux. Obviously, the status of that fight is uncertain.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- People who smoke marijuana are less depressed than those who never smoke, according to a study led by a University at Albany psychology professor.
The online study involved 4,400 people and was supported by the Marijuana Policy Project, a group that supports legalizing and regulating the drug.
A policy analyst for the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy said UAlbany professor Mitchell Earleywine is a committed pot-advocacy researcher whose survey was suspect because too many hardcore users responded to it.

Day 1: Have the puppy spend nighttime in the crate in your bedroom. Let her know that you are still around even when she is inside his crate. This will give her a sense of security and instill in her the concept that nothing bad happens to her when she is inside the crate.
Day 2: Make sure that the puppy will feel comfortable in her crate. Give her a nice bed or pillow where she could laze around and sleep. Put in her favorite chew toys that she can play with.

Crate Training Dogs.
Crate training is a great way to house-train a puppy. For anyone dreaming of having a well-behaved dog, it's also a good basis for other training and behavior. It is a simple and effective training method that anyone can use, and really great for both you and the dog.
Crate Training Dogs The Easy Way.
Even if you've tried crate training dogs before, and not had good success, do not worry, that's not your fault, as you might have got incomplete or incomplete information for some reason. It's a nice simple approach, once you understand how and why it works.
Crate Training Dogs The Easy Way And Why This Is A Sensible Idea. atarax 10mg, buy atarax online, buy cheap atarax, atarax hydroxyzine, hydroxyzine pam, order hydroxyzine, purchase hydroxyzine online.
One great reason for crate training is that dogs love predictability. To know what will happen in any given situation makes him happy and relaxed, and to want to learn how to do what you want.
A strong crate is the very basis of great puppy training. A wire crate with a lock is the best kind. Make certain it is big enough for him to stand up and turn around. But not so big that he can roam and wander around.
A too-large crate won't work for house training. A crate that is just the right size will be perceived as his nest , where puppies never go potty . They will learn to hold it if you do not make a prison out of it. Never leave a puppy under 8 weeks longer than one hour in his crate. He will soil it, after struggling and suffering as long as he can.
Start with placing a tasty treat inside, and he will enter and get it. Do this several times without closing the door, let him come in and out freely for an hour or so. Praise him highly each time he goes in, make it all very pleasant.
Then when his attention is on his treat, you can close the door. Praise him quietly, What a good boy, it s ok, such a good boy! In 10 or 20 seconds, no longer, let him out without a word, no praise, just a pat.
Do this for increasingly longer intervals, but don't give him a chance to get upset. You can do this several times the first day. Make certain every training session ends on a happy note, this is crucial.
Once he sees the crate is his own private territory, he will go in there on his own, expecting treats and your attention. When he does, say, Wanna crate? with a happy face while getting his treats.
Start leaving the room while he is in there for 2 minutes or more, gradually. When you return, don't make a fuss, just walk over and open the crate.
In 3 days he will be officially crate-trained, ready to be left alone for an hour, no longer at first. Leave him gradually longer, slowly and carefully.
You may be wondering why you want a crate for your puppy? The answer is because they love the feeling of being safe and secure in there. When put in a crate, he feels safe because nothing can get to him, nothing can harm him. He will sleep and chew and wait for you to return.
When leaving him overnight at the vet, if your dog is not crate trained he will cry the entire time, feeling lost and abandoned. With crate training, he is certain you will return, you always do. Of course the vet s office is strange and will cause him some anxiety, but nothing like the pure terror he will feel without experience in being locked in.

NOTE: do not make a prison of his crate. Don't use it as punishment. Don't leave him there for more than 2 hours, just time for a long puppy nap and some chew time. After that he will cry. Don't take him out while he is crying. This will make him think he has to cry to get out. No matter what, make sure he is being good when you open the door. He will learn he has to be quiet to get out. Do not make a fuss when you are letting him out, just quietly open the door and take him out|remove him to potty.
When he potties, praise him a LOT! Dogs naturally don't go where they nest, but sometimes it happens. Don't scold, just clean it out with a bland face. He will learn this lesson. If possible, try to clean it while he is outside so he returns to a clean crate.
So that's the good benefits of crate training!

When people acquire a mature dog some might run into a number of problems every time they try to house train their new older dog. Whilst it may be good if the older dog which you have just acquired is house trained that isn't often the way it is.
Among the initial dog house training questions which a brand new owner probably have is exactly what approach should I be using in order to potty train my new dog? To reply to that concern you must know the several approaches accessible to you to potty train your dog.
This requires some study by you to find out the actual various approaches available and discover which one is most effective on your older dog. Because you might already realize the two principal methods that you can use to house train your older dog. Choosing between both of these major tactics is determined by several aspects. One of those components In my opinion is the sex of your dog and also an additional aspect is definitely the size of your dog.
Despite the fact that there are many dog house training questions that we can easily consider a different one that I think is also important is how much time does it take to potty train an older dog? The reply to that questions actually is determined by you and your situations.
Exactly what do I really mean by that? In fact what I mean is how busy is your routine? Will you be home all day long with your new furry friend or simply will you be working 8 hours every day out of the house?
Simply being home all day your with your brand new dog will assist you to bond faster with him or her and it may surely improve the house training method. You simply must be very observant during this time so your endeavours to house train your new companion will probably pay off.
Catching your new dog in the act regarding undesirable habits is nice nonetheless prevention is more preferable. Continue to keep a close eye on your new dog and you may recognise the actual signals he/she provide you with when then have to go potty.
Another one of those dog house training questions that comes up is exactly how do I know when my dog is definitely potty trained and when can I genuinely trust him or her?
Based on which procedure you opted for to potty train your dog you'll be aware as soon as your doggy can be housebroken and that might be any time you no longer to motivate them to take advantage of any method you've already been training them to utilize. Once your dog has gone a long time without an accident and you feel that you may actually have confidence in them to hold it, then I actually would say your dog is actually fully house trained in terms of the actual potty training goes.

Your dog will learn to get control of his need to eliminate since they do not like to rest in the area where they soil. Dogs are den animals that like to have their own quiet place and they'll do everything they can to keep it clean. But remember, Puppies need to go out frequently to eliminate, so do not keep them in the crate for long periods of time.
Destructive Behaviors Are Limited
Dogs naturally enjoy chewing. Your dog needs to learn the things that are acceptable or not acceptable things to chew on.

As parents there are a great many social media networks we need to be aware of. Many of us know about and even use social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram but there are some up and coming social media services that may give parents cause for concern. One that is taking teens and young adults by storm is Whisper.
What is Whisper?
Whisper is an app available in both the iTunes and Android stores, as well as online at their website. Simply put you can type a secret, add and image and create a postcard type image to make a statement. Whisperers are 100% anonymous and users state they are 17+ in order to register. You can visit the website which allows users to search for posts by category, location (nearby), editors picks (featured), time (latest) or popular Whispers. You can vote on your favorite whispers and bring them to the forefront as well as share them on other social media channels. Messaging is also available but it's a paid feature.
What should parents know?
As we have seen teens (and even adults) don't always tell the truth. There are many users on Facebook that are under the required age, that are participating in discussions, posts and shares. The same can happen here. However, that may only be the tip of the parenting dilemma.
Millions of people are going to Whisper to share anything from as simple as "I love living in the country," to other more shocking secrets from cutting and cyberbullying to eating disorders. While some may say this is a form of catharsis others would disagree, fearing that there are some out there that may prey on those hurts that people are sharing in an effort for compassion and healing. The "nearby" feature has also been used to meet in real life, which is another feature parents should know about this particular social media share site.
"When you look at any of these identity-based social networks, people are so concerned about their image that they only post really positive things," Whisper co-founder Michael Heyward told TechCrunch. He adds, "We saw a huge white space of things that people were not publishing, and wanted to give people a place to share these things that they wouldn't feel comfortable putting out on social networks."
One other concern parents may want to consider is the truthfulness of these statements. Could it actually turn into another form of cyberbullying as so called "friends" share the deepest darkest secrets that have been shared with them in an effort to get the most votes?
Parents should also be aware that some of what they see and read on this social media app may shock them, it may bring them to tears.
How 100% anonymous is Whisper really?
Data breaches do happen, and sites like SnapChat and games like XBox have found out, so it should be difficult to say that it's 100% anonymous. Also, confessions are turning into content, as Forbes reports that they have even brought on some of the best in the business to make sure it happens. So how anonymous will it remain.
Though Whispers claims to hope to create a new method of citizen journalism and offer more honest and less competitive opportunities to show your true self. In New York Magazine Heyward shares, (Whisper) :allows for more honest communication – that, by removing the fear of repercussions and embarrassment, Whisper users can close the gap between the selves they create online and who they really are."
Either way, there's still a pressure to perform. Even with the reported moderators online to make sure that cyberbullying and fakery doesn't take over there are still untruths.
What can parents do?
Talk to your children about the app and find out if they are using it. You will find a purple box with a "W" in the middle of it on their phones and you can find it in the history. Discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of using this type of social media tool and put into place safety measures, whether it's eliminating the app from your family's use using software and blocking tools or teaching your kids the appropriate use of this site.

Morning Briefing: Current Account Data Watched
- Local/GMT
- 0830/0630 Hungary 2Q current account
- 0900/0700 Hungary June-August unemployment
- 1400/1200 Polish September inflation expectations
- 1400/1200 Polish 2Q current account
- N/A Czech markets closed for holiday
Markets are watching Poland's and Hungary's second-quarter current account data Friday, in addition to Hungary's average unemployment rate.
Hungary recorded a smaller current account surplus in the second quarter than analysts had expected, central bank data showed Friday. The surplus was 519 million euros ($671 million) in the second quarter of 2012. Analysts responding to a Dow Jones Newswires survey had anticipated a surplus of €533 million.
Hungary's jobless rate fell in June-August, compared to the previous three-month period, to 10.4%, and was slightly below expectations.
POLAND: Poland's government expects the ratio of general government debt to gross domestic product to fall to 54.5% next year from a projected 55.5% in 2012, the cabinet said Thursday after agreeing on a 2013 budget bill.
The ratio should continue to fall in subsequent years to a low of 52% in 2016, the government said.
POLAND: Poland's government on Thursday approved a draft 2013 budget based on forecast economic growth of 2.2 percent, down from the 2.5 percent expected this year. A government statement providing the figure did not give details of Poland's expected public deficit next year.
CZECH REPUBLIC: The Czech government Thursday eased its blanket ban on the local spirits market having halted sales of hard liquor following a wave of deaths and injuries from poisoning by methanol-laced bootleg alcohol.
"The Health Ministry is announcing new extraordinary measures which are regulating a gradual normalization of sales of liquor with alcohol content of 20% and more," Health Minister Leos Heger said, adding that the easing of the country's first alcohol prohibition, launched Sept. 14, became effective as of 1125 GMT Thursday.
SLOVAKIA: French auto giant PSA Peugeot Citroenid Thursday it would halt production for 21 days this fall at its Slovak plant due to low demand. "The demand for new cars in Europe has been falling for the past 11 months and this trend reflects in the reduction of several car makers' output," the company's spokesman, Peter Svec, told AFP.
HUNGARY: Hungary's budget deficit this year must not be above 2.8% of gross domestic product, the country's foreign minister said Thursday. As the central European nation looks to cut costs and increase revenue to keep its budget deficit within the European Union's 3% deficit guideline, one way to address the deficit must come from taxes, said Hungary's Foreign Minister Janos Martonyi in an interview.
ROMANIA: Romania's second-largest oil group Rompetrol plans to expand its local gasoline stations network by 150 units over the next five years, Chief Executive Zhanat Tussupbekov said Thursday, news agency Mediafax reported.
Rompetrol runs 450 gasoline stations, 250 liquefied petroleum filling stations and 10,000 gas cylinders distribution points.
BULGARIA: Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said Thursday that Bulgaria could support a private proposal to revive dropped national plans for a new nuclear plant on the Danube.
