text: Student Union History The University of Texas of the Permian Basin student union facility opened in late August, 2001. Over the years, modifications had been made to the student lounge on first floor, in attempts to create a student union. Even then, services and offices were located in different areas of the campus. Events held in the Student Lounge created space issues and the Student Lounge was never a high traffic area for current students. This history along with the addition of the Admissions and Financial Aid offices in the student lounge, instigated an interest among the student body in creating their own Student Union. Thus, the research began, followed by a referendum and state legislation. The student referendum approved a fee of "up to $39 per student per semester" as a student union fee to be assessed once the facility is ready for use. Process With much student input, many hours of committee meetings, tours of other university student unions, and the assistance of an architectural firm, a facility program plan was rendered. The plan placed existing services and offices in a central location while adding space for new services and facilities. Commons area Student organization suite Graphic Artist Meeting rooms Multipurpose room Falcon Perch Cafe The committee further specified that the new facility would have plenty of access to exterior spaces. It would have casual, informal areas as well as formal meeting and office space. The multipurpose room would have the capability of providing one large room or being divided into smaller 'breakout' rooms. Legislation Dr. Sorber, University President and Tammy Plowman, Student Senate President testified before the State of Texas House of Representatives Higher Education Committee indicating the need and student interest in the Student Union. The committee approved the fee for the proposed facility. The House of Representatives approved the legislation on March 22, 1999. The bill passed the Senate Education Committee on April 6, 1999 and is scheduled to clear the Senate on April 15th. Ground Breaking Teresa Sewell, former director of Student Life, Michael Osterbuhr, then director of Student Life, and several students who served on the student union development committee participated in a "ground breaking ceremony" of sorts on February 13, 2001. The UTPB Mesa Journal took scores of photographs to commemorate the occasion. The UTPB Physical Plant personnel put up a false wall, provided safety glasses and a small sledge hammer, and helped us pull things together. The Mesa Journal staff not only took photos, they also had a go at swinging the sledge hammer a few times. Besides being a fun event, the wall-breaking ceremony and its coverage in the school newspaper gave everyone the feeling that work had indeed begun on the student union.

Powe Power Leads Celtics to 2-0 Series Lead
The Los Angeles Lakers knew about Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. But Leon Powe?
The Boston Celtics reserve — who played all of 68 seconds in one 13-game stretch this season — had 21 points, joining Messrs. Pierce (28 points), Allen (17) and Garnett (17). But Mr. Powe scored his points in 15 minutes.
That may make him a Boston cult hero one day soon, but the Celtics had to withstand a terrifying Lakers counterattack — Kobe Bryant and Co. trailed by 24 with under eight minutes remaining, but went on a 31-9 run that got them within 104-102 with 38.4 seconds left. But no closer: Mr. Pierce hit two free throws and the Celtics escaped with a 108-102 win, and go to L.A. up 2-0 in the series.
Now, about that desert puddle of a lead.
"The Celtics had a 24-point lead at one point, inspiring a lot of people to talk of this being a 'statement' victory, whatever that means," writes Steve Buckley of the Boston Herald (who the Fix assumes meant "sashay" in his lead, by the way), adding that "the Celtics weren't just outscoring the Lakers, they were bullying them, pushing them around. … But the Celtics did make a statement last night. The statement was: 'Gee, those Lakers have a lot of fight in them.' "
In the Washington Post, Michael Wilbon focuses on Mr. Pierce — or, more specifically, on Mr. Pierce's right knee. The Celtics star was carted to the locker room in a wheelchair during Game 1, felled by a sprain, but showed no ill effects in Game 2, leading to hosannas in New England and horse laughs in Southern California. Asked to compare Mr. Pierce's return to the legendary resurrection of the New York Knicks' Willis Reed for Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, Lakers coach Phil Jackson (a teammate of Mr. Reed's) was decidedly dismissive: "I don't know if the angels visited him at halftime or in that timeout period that he had or not, but he didn't even limp when he came back out on the floor. I don't know what was going on there. Was Oral Roberts back there in their locker room?"
That's the kind of juice the latest edition of this longtime rivalry needs, says Mr. Wilbon. Well, that and one more ingredient: "If these Celtics and these Lakers grow to plain dislike one another, there will be fewer clips of Bird and Magic and more of Pierce and Bryant. That's if Bryant can find his offense sooner against a great defense, which he hasn't in the Finals. … Nobody dared suggest when Celtics GM Danny Ainge assembled Boston's new 'Big Three' that Pierce would be the best player of the three. But he has been. Pierce doesn't have Garnett's skill set and doesn't dream of shooting the ball as effectively as Ray Allen. But Pierce has the kind of forceful personality that is required of a championship team."
In L.A., the grumbling is about the officials — the Celtics shot 38 free throws, while the Lakers shot 10. On ESPN, J.A. Adande writes that Mr. Jackson "was itching to talk about it, but knew it could only lead to trouble. So he came out to address the media and said he had no opening statement. Then he used the first question as an excuse to make a statement."
That statement? Asked what he was most struck by, Mr. Jackson said "the fact that Leon Powe gets more fouls shots than our whole team does in 14 minutes of play. That's ridiculous. … I've never seen a game like that in all these years I've coached in the Finals. Unbelievable."
But the Orange County Register's Jeff Miller isn't preaching to the hometown choir. While charging that the referees were influenced by their surroundings, he notes that "contrary to a common theory, referees aren't blind. They can see which team is forcing the action and will routinely reward that team with charity."

Saturday's Belmont Stakes was to be the coronation of Big Brown as the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed. And the 1.5-mile race unfolded as expected: Big Brown fought for position early and seemed poised for victory, taking aim at Da' Tara and Tale of Ekati on the final turn. Jockey Kent Desormeaux asked Big Brown to go, and more than 94,000 people waited eagerly for the bay colt to turn on the afterburners and surge into history. But instead, as Mr. Desormeaux said, "I had no horse." Knowing something was wrong, he pulled Big Brown up, and lost.
Was it the heat? The distance? A cracked hoof? A flipped palate? Steroids? A lack of steroids? Bad luck? Bad tactics by Mr. Desormeaux? The hubris of trainer Rick Dutrow, who had called his horse's victory "a foregone conclusion?"
For the authoritative take on the day after, read the Associated Press's Jim Litke, in the International Herald Tribune: "Forget that business about the racing gods getting even. Big Brown's connections were plenty arrogant, but the only place supercilious behavior is avenged by supernatural wrath is in mythology tales. Besides, there were so many bad decisions made by the flesh-and-blood actors in this latest sporting drama that any intervention from on high would have been overkill."
In the Washington Post, Sally Jenkins says we should be glad to be merely disappointed.
"The right thing happened: Big Brown didn't want to run, and his jockey didn't ask him to," she writes, adding that "whatever the sport lost in terms of history and publicity when Big Brown failed in his bid, it recouped thanks to Desormeaux, who proved that there are good people in the sport who put the horses first, something critics had reason to question this season."

Rafael Nadal. Roger Federer. French Open.
No contest.
Mr. Nadal walked off a 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 winner in the men's final, a stunningly easy win that ran his Roland Garros record to 28-0 and stands as the worst Grand Slam beating ever inflicted on a No. 1 player.
"A gathering of tennis spectators felt sorry for Roger Federer on Sunday, a weird sensation believed to be a first," writes Chuck Culpepper in the Sydney Morning Herald. "Every so often they tried to urge him on as if he were some hopeless straggler who had leaked into the draw from the qualifying rounds, as they watched his ingenious game shrink to unrecognisable rubble opposite a Spanish Godzilla. To a five-year Federer era that has drawn admiration, appreciation and awe, down came an alien visitor called pity."
* * *
Jim McKay, who was the voice of 12 Olympiads and years of "ABC's Wide World of Sports," died Saturday at 86. Mr. McKay, who began his career as a Baltimore police reporter turned TV pioneer (a period brought to life by the Baltimore Sun's Dan Rodricks), was the greatest TV voice of a generation, winning particular plaudits for his gravity and calm during 16 hours of horror at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. Learning that 11 Israeli athletes and coaches kidnapped in the Olympic Village were dead, Mr. McKay gathered himself and said, simply and devastatingly, "They're all gone."
"That was 36 years ago, and McKay's reporting during the Olympic hostage crisis will endure as the standard by which all such reporting is judged," writes Jeremy Schaap on ESPN. "Not sports reporting. Just reporting. … McKay was special not just because he was a solid reporter in a field dominated by men who had been trained to call games. He was special because he was a reporter with the soul of a poet, his twin talents perfectly matched to his assignments."

By Tamara Krinsky, WGAW New Media Program Manager
When it comes to getting the Internet to your television, there are a lot of buzzwords floating around – "Smart TV," "Convergence," "Over the Top (OTT) delivery" – to name just a few. But what's really happening with this new technology and, more importantly, what does it mean for writers?
On October 27, the WGAW co-presented a panel discussion with the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) to talk about technology's effect on the content community. CES in LA: Writing the Future examined the expansion of opportunities for delivering content to TV sets, highlighting the ability of content creators to get around the traditional television and network gatekeepers who have long controlled what consumers can watch in their living room. These technological changes are facilitating new creative and entrepreneurial opportunities for WGA members.
CEA produces the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the industry's largest consumer technology tradeshow held every January in Las Vegas, and CEA Sr. Vice President Karen Chupka framed the importance of this discussion by noting that the devices that their manufacturers make "would be nothing without the content you create." The panel included speakers Neil Davis, Head of Corporate and Digital Development, Blockbuster; WGAW member Jane Espenson, whose credits include Once Upon A Time; the web series Husbands; Caprica; Battlestar Galactica, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer; and Shawn DuBravac, Chief Economist and Director of Research, Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). Brent Weinstein, head of Digital Media at United Talent Agency, moderated the conversation.
According to DuBravac, 20% of televisions sold now have Internet connectivity, a development that is expanding viewing options for consumers who can now choose from an array of applications and services delivered via Internet to their TV screen. He demo'd an LG Smart TV to the crowd, showing the numerous options for finding and watching both broadcast and online content through the television's built in applications. He then walked the audience through watching video via a Roku box, one of the Internet-connected set-top boxes currently on the market. If you do not have an Internet-connected television, you can hook up a Roku box to your set and stream movies and shows from Netflix, Hulu Plus, Crackle.com, and many others, including blip.tv, the main distributor for Jane Espenson's original web series Husbands.
For Espenson, an accomplished television writer, the Internet gave her the opportunity to create a project that she herself would want to watch – and then to take it directly to audiences online. "The Internet offers democratization of content," said Espenson. "People who can't get their work out can now. You can create and produce a show that might be a challenge to sell in TV but by going online first, you can actually show how the content will look and that an audience exists for it."
When it comes to the writing of online content, she said that content needs to be more interactive and "snackable" online. She found it an easy transition from writing half-hour comedy to writing short-form episodes for the web, joking, "Writing for new media is like TV, and you get to swear!"
Espenson's story highlights the potential opportunity online distribution offers to Guild members who work in an increasingly consolidated television and film market where a small pool of buyers exercise their creative and financial control over the business. Technological developments that bring Internet content to the television offer the potential for Guild members to create new routes to the consumer, outside of the few companies that control traditional entertainment.
The panel also discussed other positive developments that will further the growth of Internet delivery of content including increasing emphasis on the user interface for new online platforms and devices, as finding content can be a challenge. Blockbuster executive Neil Davis noted that his company may move into acquiring distribution rights for independent films as a way to offer unique and differentiated content.
As Internet delivery of content matures, look for the Guild to continue to facilitate discussions with new content outlets and distributors to expand opportunities for WGAW members.
The 2012 International CES is being held January 10 – 13, and has a special program called Entertainment Matters aimed at helping entertainment professionals navigate the show through a variety of exhibits, keynotes and special events. For more information: www.EmatCES.com.

NPR was lucky enough to nab an exclusive interview with Lauryn Hill. Sounds like she's ready to come back out again…. Some excerpts below:
I ask her the question her fans have been asking each other for years: Why did you stop putting out music?
"There were a number of different reasons," she says. "But partly, the support system that I needed was not necessarily in place. There were things about myself, personal-growth things, that I had to go through in order to feel like it was worth it. In fact, as musicians and artists, it's important we have an environment — and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the industry, that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society, or at least some aspect of society. And it's important that people be given the time that they need to go through, to grow, so that the consciousness level of the general public is properly affected. Oftentimes, I think people are forced to make decisions prematurely. And then that sound radiates."
"I don't know if you know this, but I have five children," she says. "The youngest is 2 now, so she's old enough that I can leave her for a period of time and know she's going to be OK. That's one reason . And I think it's just time. I'm starting to get excited again. Believe it or not, I think what people are attracted to about me, if anything, is my passion. People got exposed to my passion through music and song first. I think people might realize, you know, 'We love the way she sounds, we love the music, but I think we just love how fearless she is. How boundless she is, when it comes to what she wants to do.' And I think that can be infectious."

Hi there, my name is Vicki, and I'm a hard workin RN mama of three boys. My first two children are from my first rather horrible somewhat abusive marriage; and my newest peanut is from my fabulously wonderful soulmate style second marriage. My first son is 8 years old now; he is by far my most challenging child. When he was 5 months old, I noticed something "off" about him. He would get very overstimulated; opening his mouth wide and holding his breath while his body tenses up completely. Arms and legs out straight. This would usually occur with some sort of fun activity like playing with noisy toys. He didn't crawl until 11 months, didn't walk until 14 months. At 18 months he had a 5 word vocabulary; "hi, hello, mommy, what, and no." and would scream relentlessly when he needed something. It came down to going through the whole list of possible needs until he paused in screaming, because he couldn't figure out h
New to group, hoping for some insight and support..LONG! sorry..

Pumpkin Chocolate Tea Bread
To live in Seattle is to learn to appreciate the rain. To listen to its rhythmic pitter patter as it falls on leaves and through branches onto the wet ground, to splash around in puddles and not care about getting wet, to enjoy the peace of being enveloped in water and clouds. But when you've had your fill and the rain is still coming down, as it often will, retreating to the kitchen to bake can be a wonderful way to warm the rest of a gray afternoon.
Today we're sharing a delicious recipe for pumpkin chocolate tea bread that is designed with children in mind. With a couple of mixing bowls, spoons, and measuring cups, children big and small can help assemble this tasty, festive loaf. It's a great use for that winter squash you brought back from the farmer's market or the pumpkin patch, but canned pumpkin works equally well. If you do purchase canned pumpkin, look for the kind that comes in a cardboard Tetra Pak so you won't need to worry about the sharp edges of a can.
It is said that you eat with your eyes first, but when you smell the spicy sweet aromas of cinnamon, ginger, clove, and nutmeg mingling with the comforting scents of pumpkin and chocolate, we think you'll agree with us that sometimes you definitely eat with your nose first. Try it, share it, and enjoy!
Pumpkin Chocolate Tea Bread
Adapted from Diane Rosen-Worthington
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin (or any winter squash) puree
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Heaping 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon each cloves and nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- One 3 oz. bar of Theo 70% dark chocolate, melted
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter and flour a 9×5″ loaf pan.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter, then whisk in the sugar, eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all of the remaining ingredients, except for the chocolate, then stir them into the pumpkin mixture until just combined.
- Scrape half of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Pour half of the chocolate down the middle and swirl it in with a small offset spatula or a butter knife. Top with the remaining batter and then the remaining chocolate, swirling it into the batter as before. Bake in the center of the oven for about an hour, or until a toothpick tester comes out clean. Cool for at least 10 minutes.
- To remove the loaf from the pan, run an offset spatula around the edge, then invert it onto a cooling rack. Turn right side up and serve in thick slices.

Little Help with investment and interest rates
View Single Post
How are you going to calculate the interest? Will it be once a year just adding 9% of the balance? Will it be monthly (as you seem to refer to this at some point) and if monthly will that be 1/12 of 9%, or the 12th root of (1+9%) (the latter allows for compound interest which will work out at 9%pa, whereas the former will give you more than 9% over the year)?
If it's just once a year adding 9% to the balance, then the calculation is just
balance = balance * (1+annualInterestRate)
so for example a balance of 1000 becomes 1000*(1+0.09) = 1090.
But where did you get the following figures from, and how was 1093.8 calculated?
The amount invested: 1000
Annual interest rate: 9%
Years Future Value
1 1093.8
2 1196.41

Winter takes a toll on hair, drying the locks and causing them to break and form a frizzy ring around the top of the head. One of the biggest reasons why hair drys to an unmanageable mane is due to over processing.
Women, and men, use too many products on their hair. The heating iron, blow dryer, hot rollers, straightener iron, perms and hair colors all dry out hair. Split ends are unattractive and difficult to hide. A person could spend a fortune on hair care products, but the best conditioners are available from your kitchen pantry.
A very ripe avocado and one-half cup of mayo mixed together in a blender makes an excellent mask for the hair. Apply the paste to clean, wet hair and cover with a plastic cap. Rinse after 30 minutes. Hair will absorb the much-needed oil and be easier to style. Don't use a blow dryer unless absolutely necessary.
A vinegar or green tea rinse will really make hair soft and shiny. Purchase grape seed oil, extra-virgin olive oil, safflower oil, sweet almond oil and vitamins A and E oils. Alternate between the several oils. Warm any one or two of the oils and coat the strands of hair with them. Place a warm, damp towel over hair for 15-30 minutes, then rinse with warm water. When the oil has washed out, rinse with cold water to close the pores.
A small amount of any one of the above oils can be rubbed between the hands, then smoothed over hair. Don't rinse out, style as usual. Avoid the appliances that dry hair out. Allow to dry naturally.
Coconut oil can also be used. Add a drop or two of essential oils such as jasmine or gardenia. If the oils of vitamins A and E are not available, break open the vitamin capsules to use.
Be careful not to use too much oil. It can make hair appear oily and dirty. Concentrate on areas where split ends are located and on the tips of the hair for easy styling. Watch the video for good advice on hair care. The products used in the video may work well, but the natural remedies mentioned here are just as good or better.

Before That It Was A Weird MushroomBy Rick Griffin on November 17th, 2008

Hehe. Grape's utter disdain for the situation in panel 2 is awesome.
Silly Peanut. But yeah, can't blame him, I've been that excited about things during snowy wether too.
Lol Peanut cant get any brighter huh? As usual the cat is the smartest of the bunch but can STILL get her tail caught in tough situations lol. Poor Grape cant get a nap. Doesnt Peanut KNOW tht naps r a cats 2nd reason to live? lol
I like how eager Peanut always is.
I want to see this tree.
It probably was either an oak, or just another tree like any other. And I wager there was a lot of dogs who wanted to mark it along with every other tree, but failed to drink enough water, or eat enough snow. lol i wonder what hes going to show grape. hmmmmm.
Man I wish I had the energy peanut has.
Well if it wasn't the snow, now I really wanna know what he wants to show her !
it was the first snow today where i live too. craaazy.
time dose fly
Aww, I wish it would snow here, not gonna happen though, at least not until like March. > <
our first "snow" was yesterday… it only really lasted a minute and didn't do much but hit the ground and melt…
I can't wait to see what peanut has in store… though, knowing him, if it's not a tree, it's a cool rock.
Soooo….the pets have fur, so they don't need clothing to be warm even out in snow. Surely, though, the warmest place on their body is their necks, since every one wears a collar! As a symbol, putting a scarf around the neck serves no purpose…other than to be cute.
Definitely wins on cuteness! :-}
what is it about snow that makes it a universal sign to "put on a scarf?" I mean, check out Fridays comic… Green grass, dandelions, flowers, laying on said grass with another… almost looks like mid-summer, but if you take a look now, it's snowing, therefore one must dress warmly…
Maybe rained the night before, causing the temperature to drop, thus solidifying the rain into snow… Or maybe I think about these kinds of things too much >.>…
Like Peanut sez, 'time flies'
…Yea even I don't get it.
And then they kiss?
I can see it now, Peanut leads Grape into the woods promising something wonderful but he intended to tell her how he really feels while inside a fort he made out love and hope… and snow. but on a random note I wonder if to pets in there world Bob Hope's the anti-Christ, pure randomness!
Yes, exactly what I was thinking! Not the Bob Hope thing, of course, but the rest of it sure.
Doesn't snow in Queensland – ever. Love the stuff though.
Today 11/18/08 it is snowing in NEW haven, Vt.
Hail to thee fellow Vermonter! I'm in Rutland. >D
Have you ever tried waking up a sleeping cat? I still have scars from the last time I tried.
*thumbtwiddles* 12:10AM, EST…..
For shame, rick. You seem to be late!

1999-2000 IN BRIEF: After returning 10 letterwinners and all five starters from last year's squad, the 1999-2000 Wildcats utilized their depth and experience to roll to a 25-7 overall mark, setting a new school record for most wins in a season.
During the preseason, the Cats were picked by both the Pac-10 media and coaches to finish fourth in league play. They surpassed those expectations, garnering a 13-5 conference record and finishing in a tie for second with Stanford. That finish equals the program's best, previously earned by the 1998 team.
Arizona opened the season with a nine-game win streak and went on to register an 11-1 mark in non-conference action. By winning their first Pac-10 game to improve to 12-1, the Cats tied the school record for the best start in the history of the program.
Pac-10 play brought about several historical moments as well. With wins at Washington State and Washington during the second weekend of January, the Cats earned their first-ever road sweep of the Washington schools. They repeated the feat during the final weekend of the regular season, recording their first-ever road sweep of Stanford and California.
The Wildcats earned their fourth consecutive NCAA tournament berth, ending up as the No. 8 seed in the Mideast Region. Arizona travelled to Knoxville, Tenn., where it downed No. 9 seed Kent, 73-61, in the first round of the tournament. The Cats faced No. 1 seed and eventual national runner-up Tennessee in the second round and put up a valiant fight, only to fall, 75-60.
The UA set or tied 23 school records this season, including most wins in a season (25), highest winning percentage (.781), most three-point field goals made in a season (162) and most points in a season (2,484). The Wildcats were ranked 21st in the final Associated Press Poll of the year and were 20th in the last USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll. Arizona finished the year as the Pac-10 leader in scoring (77.6 ppg), scoring margin (+9.9 ppg) and assists (17.94 apg). The Cats were second in three-point field goal percentage (.379), rebounding margin (+4.3 rpg), steals (10.31 spg), assist-to-turnover ratio (0.89) and three-point field goals made (5.06 per game).
ON THE INDIVIDUAL FRONT: With 12.7 points per game, senior forward Angela Lackey finished as Arizona's leading scorer for the second straight year. She was second in rebounding, at 5.3 per game. Fellow senior forward Tatum Brown was second in scoring, with 12.4 points per game, and was the team's top rebounder, with 7.7 boards per contest. Sophomore forward Elizabeth Pickney was third in both categories, averaging 9.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
Guards Lisa Griffith (8.9 ppg), Reshea Bristol (8.6 ppg), Felecity Willis (7.8 ppg) and Julie Brase (6.1 ppg) followed on the scoring chart. Willis was the team's assists leader, at 5.3 per game, while Griffith had the highest steals average, at 2.1 per game.
Tatum Brown ended the season as the Pac-10 leader in field goal percentage (.590) and was third in rebounding (7.7 rpg). Felecity Willis was third in the league in assists (5.28 apg), and Lisa Griffith was fourth in three-point field goal percentage (.420).
Wildcat head coach Joan Bonvicini made her 14th career trip to the NCAA tournament. She has a 23-14 career record in NCAA play and has never lost an NCAA first-round game. With a 159-104 mark in nine years at Arizona, she has compiled as many wins as the six previous Wildcat coaches combined.
ARIZONA'S LAST TIME OUT: Playing in the second round of the NCAA tournament, the Wildcats fell victim to No. 1 seed and eventual national runner-up Tennessee, 75-60, on Mar. 20 in Knoxville.
The Lady Vols opened the game with a 20-8 run and held a 12-point (33-21) halftime advantage over the Wildcats, who shot only 2-for-10 from the line in the first half.
Tennessee used runs of 18-9 and 9-0 to push its lead out to 21 points twice, and although the Cats were able to fight back to within 12 points twice, they just couldn't overcome the deficit.
Angela Lackey led the Cats with 13 points and seven rebounds, while Tatum Brown contributed 11 points and five rebounds. Lisa Griffith drained a trio of three-pointers during the first half en route to 11 points for the game.
THE CATS AND THE NCAA TOURNEY: Arizona made its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 1997, receiving a No. 7 seed in the West Region. The Cats defeated 25th-ranked Western Kentucky in the first round, then went on to scare host and sixth-ranked Georgia (80-74) in the second game.
In 1998, the Cats entered the tournament as the No. 3 seed in the East Region. The UA swept through the first two games, picking up wins over Santa Clara and Virginia and making it into the Sweet Sixteen only to fall to third-ranked Connecticut.
Last season, the Wildcats received their third consecutive berth, earning a No. 6 seed in the Midwest Region. The Cats pulled off an 87-84 overtime victory over Florida in the first game, and were subsequently pounded, 90-47, by ninth-ranked host team Rutgers.
This season, despite owning the best overall record in school history, Arizona was handed its lowest seeding ever, at No. 8. However, for the fourth year in a row, the Wildcats won their first-round matchup, defeating Kent, 73-61, on Mar. 18. The Cats lost in the second round to No. 1 seed and eventual national runner-up Tennessee, 75-60.
Arizona has been placed in a different region in each of its four years of NCAA tournament competition.
GONE DANCING: Seven of Arizona's regular-season opponents earned NCAA tournament berths this year, by virtue either of winning a conference title or earning at-large bids.
Oklahoma, Kansas, Tennessee Tech, UCLA, Stanford, UC Santa Barbara and Oregon all made the "Big Dance" this year. The UA went 5-5 against those opponents this season, including victories over UC Santa Barbara, Oklahoma, Tennessee Tech, Oregon and Stanford.
PAC-10 HONORS: Felecity Willis and Tatum Brown were both named to the All-Pac-10 Team, and Krista Warren was selected to the Pac-10 All-Freshman Team. This marks the second straight year that Willis was an All-Pac-10 selection.
Reshea Bristol, Lisa Griffith and Angela Lackey were all Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 choices.
UA TEAM HONORS: At the team banquet on Mar. 12, the UA announced its annual team awards. The Most Valuable Player award was given to the team as a whole. Reshea Bristol was named Defensive Player of the Year, and LaKeisha Taylor was selected Most Improved Player. Krista Warren was Newcomer of the Year, and Tysell Bozeman was Most Inspirational Player. The Hustle Award and the Assists Leader Award went to Felecity Willis. The Rebounding Leader Award went to Tatum Brown, and the Free Throw Percentage Leader Award went to Julie Brase. Elizabeth Pickney received the Academic Achievement Award.
GRIFFITH, WILLIS BECOME NEW CAREER LEADERS: At Tennessee on Mar. 20, senior guards Lisa Griffith and Felecity Willis became Arizona's new leaders in career games played. Both are tied with 122 games played, the most ever for any Wildcat.
Lisa Griffith is also tied with former teammate Adia Barnes for the most career starts, with 110.
ARIZONA SETS NEW WINS RECORD: With their 73-61 victory over Kent in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Mar.` 18, the Wildcats set a new school record for most wins in a season, with 25. Previously, both the 1997 and 1998 teams had the highest totals of 23 wins.
HEAD COACH JOAN BONVICINI: In nearly a decade at the helm of the University of Arizona's women's basketball program, head coach Joan Bonvicini has collected an unparalleled list of accomplishments, both for the university and for her career.
After wrapping up her ninth year at the UA, Bonvicini has posted a 159-105 (.602) mark and has a 484-176 (.733) record in 21 years as a collegiate head coach. She also has a 23-14 mark in NCAA tournament play and has never lost a first-round game in 14 appearances.
Prior to taking over at the UA, Bonvicini led Long Beach State to 10 consecutive NCAA appearances, including two trips to the Final Four. She registered a 325-71 mark in 12 seasons with the 49ers.
BONVICINI FINALIST FOR COACH OF THE YEAR: Fifteen finalists were named for the Naismith College Basketball Coach of the Year Award, including Arizona head coach Joan Bonvicini.
The winner, selected by Naismith's National Advisory Board members, NCAA Division I coaches, former Naismith winners, NCAA Division I conference commissioners and media representatives, was Connecticut head coach Geno Auriemma.
The other finalists were Pat Summitt (Tennessee), Leon Barmore (Louisiana Tech), Vivian Stringer (Rutgers), Andy Landers (Georgia), Joe Ciampi (Auburn), Bill Fennelly (Iowa State), Mark French (UC Santa Barbara), Gail Goestenkors (Duke), Sue Gunter (Louisiana State), Muffet McGraw (Notre Dame), Rene Portland (Penn State), Marsha Sharp (Texas Tech), and Kay Yow (North Carolina State).
RACKING UP THE WINS: With 159 victories at the UA, Joan Bonvicini has now collected as many wins as the six previous Wildcat coaches combined.
DID YOU KNOW: Since Joan Bonvicini took over the Arizona program in 1991, the Wildcats have gone 85-77 against Pac-10 teams, although they have a 51-21 league mark over the last four seasons combined.
THE REST OF THE STAFF: Awarded the title of associate head coach during the summer of 1998, Denise Dove Ianello (Northern Illinois, 1991) finished her eighth year at the UA, functioning as both the team's recruiting coordinator and the perimeter coach. Second-year assistant coach Karen Caires (Cal State Northridge, 1990) works with the perimeter players, assists with scouting and recruiting and directs the Joan Bonvicini Hoop Camp. In his first year at the UA, assistant coach Curtis Loyd (Southern Utah, 1994) is involved with scouting and with coaching the post players.
WEIRD STAT OF THE DAY: Arizona actually had a better record this season when hitting fewer three-pointers than its opponents. The Cats were only 10-4 when hitting more treys than their opponent, however they were 12-2 when they nailed fewer three-pointers than their opponent.
DISHING IT OUT: Arizona led the Pac-10 in assists all season, finishing the year on top with an average of 17.94 per game. The UA was the only team to have three players among the Pac-10 assists leaders in the final stats. Felecity Willis (5.28 apg) was third, Lisa Griffith (3.31 apg) was ninth, and Reshea Bristol (3.14 apg) was 10th.
DOUBLING UP: Senior forward Tatum Brown had a Pac-10-best nine double-doubles this year, including back-to-back double-doubles against the Oregon schools on Mar. 2 and 4. Fellow senior Felecity Willis was one of only two players in the conference to rack up a points-assists double-double this year, when she had 15 points and 10 assists at Washington on Jan. 15.
TO START OR NOT TO START: Seems that Joan Bonvicini's decision to insert Reshea Bristol into the starting lineup midway through the season was a good one. In the 12 contests that the junior guard started, she averaged 11.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. During that stretch, she also hit 42.0 percent from the floor and 77.6 percent from the free throw line.
In the 16 games that saw Bristol coming off the bench, she averaged only 6.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. She shot only 33.7 percent from the floor and 78.7 percent from the line.
BY THE NUMBERS: Twenty of Arizona's wins this year were by an average of 10 points or more... Each loss was by an average of only 8.9 points per game... The Cats hit five or more 3-pointers in 19 games this season... Arizona had 20 or more assists in 13 games... The Cats had 10 or more steals in 19 games... Arizona forced its opponent into 20 or more turnovers in 20 contests, and no opponent committed less than 12.
GOTTA TAKE CARE OF THE BALL: Arizona committed an average of 21.0 turnovers per game over the last 13 contests of the year. During that stretch, the Cats forced opponents into an average of only 19.7 turnovers per game.
Arizona had its season high of 29 turnovers at UCLA on Feb. 19, also the UA's highest turnover total since committing 36 at Arizona State on Jan. 17, 1998.
On the upside, however, the Cats had season lows of only 13 turnovers in three different games, most recently against Kent in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Mar. 18.
SHAKING THOSE FREE THROW WOES: Arizona was wildly inconsistent from the free throw line during non-conference play this season, hitting only 66.0 percent from the line. During that time-frame, the Cats shot as well as 84 percent (vs. Tennessee Tech) and as poorly as 53.1 percent (vs. Northern Illinois).
In Pac-10 play, the Cats regained some consistency, and accuracy, from the free throw line. They shot 71.8 percent from the stripe against conference opponents.
In the overtime win over Oregon State on Mar. 2, the Wildcats tied the school record for single-game free throw percentage, hitting 20-of-22 from the stripe for 90.9 percent.
CRASHING THE BOARDS: Rebounding was a major problem for the Wildcats over the last few years, but they experienced an upswing in that area this season. The UA out-rebounded or been equal to its opponent in 27 of this season's games. The Cats also set a new school record for largest rebounding margin in Pac-10 play (+4.2 rpg).
BENCH CONTRIBUTIONS: The UA bench was quite productive this season, contributing an average of 28.2 points per game. The highest point total from the bench this year came on Dec. 10 against Texas Southern, when 47 of the UA's 96 points came from the subs.
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME: During Joan Bonvicini's tenure at Arizona, the Wildcats have posted a 92-41 mark in McKale Center, including a 61-13 record over the last five seasons combined. Arizona has a record of 158-149 on its home court since the 1976-77 season.
STRONG SCHEDULE: Several of the UA's regular season opponents were ranked in the final polls.
UC Santa Barbara was ninth in last A.P. poll, while Oklahoma was 18th and Oregon was 20th. Stanford, UCLA and Kansas all received votes for ranking.
In the final USA Today/ESPN Coaches' poll, Oklahoma was No. 13 and UC Santa Barbara was No. 22. Stanford, Oregon, Kansas and UCLA all received votes for ranking.
DUALLY SUCCESSFUL: Nine schools had both their men's and women's basketball teams ranked in the final A.P. Top 25. They were Arizona, Duke, Iowa State, Louisiana State, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Auburn and Purdue.
80 IS THE MAGIC NUMBER: Seems that the 80-point mark almost always means adding another to the "win" column for the Wildcats. In the 28-year history of Arizona women's basketball, the Cats have posted a 121-16 record when scoring 80 points or more in a game. Under Bonvicini, the Wildcats have gone 81-9 when topping that 80-point plateau.
WE CAN HANDLE THE CLOSE ONES...: Under head coach Joan Bonvicini, the Cats have gone 25-19 in games settled by five points or less, including a 9-4 mark in games settled by one or two points.
...BUT WE REALLY PREFER THE BLOWOUTS: Over the last nine seasons, Bonvicini's Arizona teams have won 50 games by spreads of 20 points or more.
KEYS TO THE WIN: This season, Arizona was... 21-5 when out-rebounding its opponent... 20-1 when shooting better than its opponent from the floor... 22-6 when shooting 40% or better from the field... 21-2 when scoring 70 points or more... 18-2 when committing fewer turnovers than the opponent... 19-6 when three or more players reached double digits in scoring.
CAT SCRATCHES: The Arizona women's basketball program has a 318-396 (.445) all-time record, however it is 122-60 (.670) from 1994 to present... Joan Bonvicini has a 175-91 career record against Pac-10 teams.
ON LOCATION: The Wildcats were 12-3 at home this season, 9-4 in road games and 4-0 in neutral contests. Last season, Arizona posted an 11-3 mark at home, was 5-8 on the road and notched a 2-0 record in neutral contests.
CHECKING THE RECORD BOOK: Lisa Griffith finished her career as the Arizona and the Pac-10 career leader in both three-pointers made (285) and attempted (747). She holds the #5 spot on the UA's top-20 all-time leading scorers' list, with 1,199 career points.
Griffith is also the career leader in games started (110) and is tied with Felecity Willis as the career leader in games played (122). She is second on the career steals chart, with 225, and is fifth on the career assists list, with 455.
Willis is sixth in career three-pointers attempted (187) and is seventh in three-pointers made (53). She finished in third place on the UA all-time assists chart and is ninth all-time in the Pac-10, with 541 career dishes. She stands at #12 on the all-time scoring chart, with 967 points.
Sophomore forward Elizabeth Pickney is in fifth place on the UA all-time blocked shots list, with 66.
GRIFFITH FINISHES AS RUNNER-UP IN 3-POINT CHAMPIONSHIP: UA senior guard Lisa Griffith was the runner-up in the Annual College Three-Point Basketball Championship on Thursday, Mar. 30, in Indianapolis, Ind. Along with the Slam Dunk Championship, the 3-point contest was one of the activities surrounding the men's Final Four and was broadcast on ESPN.
UA GETS FIRST PAC-10 WIN AT STANFORD: The Cats' 79-72 win at Stanford on Mar. 9 was their first win in Maples since joining the Pac-10. It also ended a 13-game losing streak at Maples and marked the first victory there since the 1986 season.
CATS SET ATTENDANCE RECORD: The 5,272 fans who watched the Cats play Oregon in the McKale Center on Mar. 4 set a new single-game attendance record for Arizona women's basketball. The previous high was 4,693, set when Arizona defeated Virginia on Mar. 15, 1998, while hosting the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Arizona's average season attendance of 2,556 is a new record as well, surpassing last year's average of 2,429.
LONG RANGE BOMBING: The Wildcats saw their streak of 58 consecutive games with at least one 3-pointer made come to an end when they failed to connect on any treys at Arizona State on Feb. 26.
CATS REGISTER BEST PAC-10 START EVER: Arizona's 9-2 mark through the first 11 games of Pac-10 play was its best start ever in league action. Previously, the UA had never made it through the first 11 conference games with less than three losses.
ACHIEVING 20 WINS: With its defeat of Washington State on Feb. 12, this UA squad became the fastest ever to reach the 20-win mark. No other Wildcat team has ever been able to reach 20 wins in only 23 games.
It was also the earliest in the season that any team has reached 20 wins. The earliest mark previously was set by the 1996-97 squad, which reached the 20-win plateau on Feb. 22.
FELECITY WILLIS NAMED PAC-10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Feb. 7): Senior guard Felecity Willis was named the Pacific-10 Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week for Jan. 31-Feb. 6.
Willis, from Apple Valley, Calif., averaged 11.0 points, 7.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds per game while leading the Cats to their first road sweep of the Oregon schools in 10 years. She shot .455 (5-for-11) from the floor and .833 (10-for-12) from the free throw line over the two games.
In the victory at Oregon, which snapped the Ducks' 19-game home winning streak, Willis scored a season- and game-high 19 points, including 17 in the second half. She dished out a game-high eight assists, leading the Wildcats to their first win in Eugene since 1997. Willis went 7-of-8 from the free throw line over the final 1:20 to seal the 73-66 win. In the victory at Oregon State, she tallied a game-high seven assists to go with three points and three rebounds.
The Player of the Week honor was the first of Willis' career, and the 19th all-time selection for the Wildcats. It is also the first time that Arizona has had four recipients in the same year.
GRIFFITH BECOMES PAC-10 LEADER: On Jan. 30, senior guard Lisa Griffith became the Pac-10 career leader in three-pointers attempted, surpassing former Washington player Jamie Redd's total of 675. Griffith became the Pac-10 career leader in 3-pointers made during the 1998-99 season.
BONVICINI REACHES MILESTONES: With the win over Arizona State on Jan. 30, Arizona head coach Joan Bonvicini earned her 150th win at the UA and 475th win as a head coach.
PICKNEY TOPS 500: Against UCLA on Jan. 20, sophomore forward Elizabeth Pickney became the latest Wildcat to top the 500-point plateau in career scoring.
LISA GRIFFITH NAMED PAC-10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Jan. 17): Senior guard Lisa Griffith was named the Pacific-10 Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week for Jan. 10-16.
Griffith averaged 20.0 points, 4.0 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.0 rebounds per game while leading the Wildcats to their first-ever road sweep of the Washington schools on Jan. 13 and 15.

In the win at Washington, Arizona's first victory ever in Seattle, Griffith drained a school-record-tying seven treys en route to a career-high 26 points. She shot 7-of-10 from beyond the arc, marking the first time any Wildcat has hit seven treys in one game since Griffith herself did it twice during the 1996-97 season. In the win over Washington State, she tallied 14 points, four steals and seven assists.
The Player of the Week honor was the second of Griffith's career, and was the 18th all-time selection for Arizona.
CATS EARN FIRST ROAD SWEEP IN WASHINGTON: With wins at Washington State (83-68) on Jan. 13 and at Washington (96-85) on Jan. 15, Arizona completed its first-ever road sweep of the Washington schools. While the Cats had previously been able to defeat Washington State in Pullman, this season's win at Washington was the UA's first in 14 attempts.
A GREAT START: With their victory over California on Jan. 6, the Wildcats tied the 1995-96 team for the best start ever at 12-1.
CATS SET RECORD WITH HOME WIN STREAK: Arizona set a new school record this season with a 15-game home win streak, dating from Jan. 4, 1999, to Jan. 8, 2000. They saw their streak end with a 98-95 loss to Stanford on Jan. 8. The previous long streak was a string of 10 games midway through the 1997-98 season.
NON-CONFERENCE SUCCESS: The Cats went 11-1 in regular season non-conference play this year, their best non-conference mark since the 1995-96 team went 9-0. The 11 victories are the most regular season non-conference wins ever under Joan Bonvicini.
During the 12 non-conference games, the Cats averaged 83.1 points per game and out-scored their opponents by an average of 18 points per game. They shot 48.8 percent from the field, including a blazing 42.3 percent from three-point range. The UA out-rebounded its opponents by an average of 6.2 boards per contest. The Cats also averaged 20.0 assists and 11.0 steals per game, while forcing opponents to commit an average of 22.8 turnovers per game.
CATS TAKE SEELBACH CLASSIC TITLE: Arizona won its third regular-season tournament when it swept through the Seelbach Cardinal Classic in Louisville, Ky., on Dec. 28-29. The Cats had a solid showing in the first round with a 91-61 pounding of Marshall on Dec. 28. Although host team Louisville managed to hang with the UA most of the contest, the Cats pulled out an 80-70 victory in the championship game to take the tournament title.
After averaging 14.0 points and 13.0 rebounds per game over the two contests, Wildcat Tatum Brown was selected the Tournament MVP, her second such honor of the year. Louisville native Angela Lackey was selected to the All-Tournament Team as well, also her second such honor of the season.
GRIFFITH JOINS 1,000-POINT CLUB: With 3:04 left in the first half at Kansas on Dec. 21, senior guard Lisa Griffith knocked down her third three-pointer of the game to become the eighth Wildcat to reach the 1,000-point plateau in career scoring. The last Wildcat to join the 1,000-point club was Griffith's former teammate, Adia Barnes, who reached that mark during the 1996-97 season.
WILDCATS CLAIM TITLE OF INSIGHT.COM BOWL BASKETBALL CLASSIC: After falling in the championship game of the 1998 tournament, Arizona reclaimed the title of its ninth annual Insight.com Bowl Basketball Classic with victories over Texas Southern (96-46) and Indiana (87-70) on Dec. 10 and 12.
Tatum Brown was unanimously voted the Tournament Most Valuable Player after averaging 20.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals over the two games. Angela Lackey was named to the All-Tournament Team, as well.
RECORDS FALL: Tatum Brown's 11-of-12 shooting performance against Colorado State on Dec. 6 tied the UA single-game record for field goal percentage (.917). It is also a new McKale Center record, breaking the previous mark of 84.6 percent (11-13) set by former UCLA player Denise Curry on Jan. 17, 1981.
Arizona also set a new school record by hitting a sizzling 75.9 (22-29) percent in the first half against UC Santa Barbara on Nov. 30.
BROWN NAMED PAC-10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Dec. 6): Senior forward Tatum Brown was named the Pacific-10 Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week for Nov. 29-Dec. 5. Brown scored a then-career-high 21 points and grabbed a team-high seven rebounds to lead No. 21 Arizona to an 86-76 upset over No. 15 UC Santa Barbara on Nov. 30. In just 26 minutes of action, she shot 9-for-12 (.750) from the field and 3-for-4 (.750) from the line.
The Player of the Week honor was the first of Brown's career, and the 17th all-time selection. Brown's honor followed Elizabeth Pickney's Player of the Week laurels the previous week, marking the first time in school history that the Wildcats have had back-to-back Pac-10 Players of the Week.
SHOOTING THE LIGHTS OUT: The Cats shot a school-record 75.9 percent (22-29) from the floor in the first half of the UCSB contest on Nov. 30. For the game, they shot 63 percent (34-54), the highest field goal percentage for any team since the school record was set at 64.3 percent (36-56) against Drake on Nov. 25, 1990.
PICKNEY NAMED PAC-10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Nov. 29): Elizabeth Pickney was named Pac-10 Player of the Week for Nov. 15-28. Pickney averaged 16.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocked shots per game in the UA's four straight victories to open the season. She shot a team-high .575 (23-40) from the field and .720 (18-25) from the line during that stretch.
Pickney was named the Tournament MVP at the Hawaiian Regent Wahine Classic, leading Arizona to the team title with three wins. In the tourney, she averaged 18.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. The Player of the Week honor was the first of Pickney's career and the 16th all-time selection for Arizona.
SULTANS OF SWAT: The Wildcats racked up nine blocked shots in the contest against Tennessee Tech on Nov. 20. That is the highest single-game block total since the 1985 squad collected 10 at Tennessee-Chattanooga on Jan. 5, 1985. Elizabeth Pickney had five of the UA's blocked shots against Tennessee Tech, a career high for her.
As a team, Arizona collected 20 blocks over the first four games of the year, the highest block total ever over that stretch in any season.
CATS TAKE CHAMPIONSHIP AT HAWAIIAN REGENT WAHINE CLASSIC: The Wildcats swept through three games in Honolulu on Nov. 19-21 to take the title at the Hawaiian Regent Wahine Classic, hosted by the University of Hawaii.
Arizona garnered victories over Oklahoma (75-59), Tennessee Tech (87-71) and host team Hawai'i (86-73) to open the 1999-2000 season with a perfect 3-0 mark.
Elizabeth Pickney averaged 18.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game for the Cats and was the overwhelming favorite for tournament Most Valuable Player laurels. Felecity Willis and Tatum Brown were named to the All-Tournament Team, as well.
DOVE IANELLO AMONG TOP ASSISTANTS: In a survey of head women's coaches conducted by the Women's Basketball Journal last fall, UA associate head coach Denise Dove Ianello received votes for consideration as one of the top assistant coaches in the country.
FUTURE WILDCATS: On the first day of the early signing period (Nov. 10), Arizona inked a trio of high school recruits from the state of California. The signees were 5-10 guard Candice Allen (Ontario, CA/Ayala HS), 5-7 guard Aimee Grzyb (San Jose, CA/Archbishop Mitty HS) and 6-3 forward Veranda James (Pomona, CA/Ganesha HS).
WHAT THE COACHES THOUGHT: Here was the predicted order of finish for the Pac-10 this season, according to the league's coaches...
1. UCLA 6. Washington 2. Oregon 7. USC 3. Stanford 8. Oregon State 4. ARIZONA 9. California 5. Arizona State 10. Washington State The Pac-10 media also picked Arizona to finish fourth in the league standings this year.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS: For the third year in a row, the Wildcats earned a preseason national ranking. The Cats were ranked 25th in the Associated Press Preseason Top 25, and they were 24th in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches' Preseason Top 25.
The Wildcats were ranked among the top 25 teams in five different "unofficial" preseason polls this fall. The UA's highest ranking in these polls was 13th by Women's Basketball magazine and the lowest was 22nd by both Street & Smith's and the Basketball News Report.
Angela Lackey earned preseason third team All-America honors from Lindy's College Basketball and honorable mention All-America laurels from Street & Smith's College Basketball.
1998-99 IN REVIEW: Despite losing the squad's only two seniors before the season ever started, the very young 1998-99 Wildcats held their own and came up with an 18-11 overall record and went 12-6 in the Pac-10 to finish in fourth place.
The Cats faced a rough non-conference schedule that featured three teams which spent most of the season among the top four in the national rankings. After getting off to a rocky 1-3 start in league play, the Cats rebounded to finish the season 11-3, with wins over Pac-10 co-champion Oregon and over perennial power Stanford.
The Wildcats then received their third consecutive berth in the NCAA Tournament, earning a #6 seed in the Midwest Region. In Piscataway, N.J., Arizona faced NCAA tourney veteran Florida in the first round of play and defeated the Gators, 87-84, in overtime to move on to the second round for the third straight year. The Cats then took on host Rutgers, only to end the season on a sour note, falling to the Scarlet Knights, 90-47.
For the season, Arizona had its most balanced offense in five years, with four players averaging in double digits in scoring, and ended its season by winning 12 of its final 16 contests. The Cats broke or tied 13 school records on the year, including setting new marks in single season free throws made (520) and blocked shots (88).
With 14.4 points per game, Angela Lackey led four Wildcats averaging in double digits in scoring. Felecity Willis came in second with her 12.1 ppg scoring average, followed closely by Elizabeth Pickney at 11.4 ppg. Pickney was the team's top rebounder, with 5.8 per game, while Willis was the team's assists leader, averaging 5.5 apg. Lackey was second in rebounding with 5.4 rpg, and Reshea Bristol posted 11.4 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.

Changing Education Paradigms
January 9, 2012 in PA Educators, PA Students
This video is eye-opening --- a MUST WATCH!
Einstein said, "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." So why then are we trying to enhance the same education model that was designed to maximize society for the industrial age? The problem is the model itself! "Strengthening" the model will only strengthen the problem.
The essence of education is to help individuals be successful in life and to positively contribute to society. How can this be better accomplished than by helping students find their passions and developing their talents for those passions? Dead is the age where we must force upon every student proficiencies across multiple domains, for in less than thirty seconds one can search the internet and gain access to expert knowledge and communicate with those in the know about such subjects, and then that learning will come naturally as it should, through experience solving real world problems via collaboration. I challenge any practitioner reading these words to tell me they learned more by sitting through a lecture than when confronted with a real world case where they solved a problem with the guidance of a caring mentor!
The question then arises, what are the implications for Physician Assistant education? I have some ideas that I will put into a blog post, but first let's hear some of your ideas. How should medical education be structured so as to maximize learning?

Stanislas Wawrinka — Getty Images
How good? The random gambler, made anonymous because he put the bet in with cash at one of the 2,900 Tab stores in Australia, put $435 down on the eventual champions, with the odds coming in at a hefty 451-to-1 at the time of the bet.
The Australian bookmaker Tab Corp. took the beating, but made the news public on Monday and I must say, it would be pretty nice to pocket nearly $200,000 on a tennis bet but who in the world is laying nearly $500 on a Na-Wawrinka bet in Melbourne?
Na wasn't a completely insane choice as she had made two of the last three finals at the Australian Open, losing in both, but it's the Wawrinka pick that is so confusing.
I could understand pairing Na with Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic or someone like that, which would pay much less, but again, I obviously have no idea what I'm saying since this person made nearly a quarter of a million bucks with his choice.
So, congrats to whoever made this bet and may they do the one thing that almost every Las Vegas gambler cannot do; enjoy the winnings and never, ever bet again.
Why not end your career as a gambler on a very, very high note?!

Recap | Final Stats | Notes
UCLA Head Coach Karl Dorrell
That was one of those games you learn a lot about yourself as a team and as a program. We weren't playing well in the beginning of the game. Our defense was doing things sporadically, as were our offense and our special teams. Washington came in ready to play. They had a great game plan and put the pressure on us. They did a tremendous job in executing their game plan the majority of the game. What we did at halftime was challenge our team about how to respond to things that came up in first half. We're still growing as a team, we're still young, and that was a great experience to go through. Sometimes you're not going to have the best performance and you have to put together a performance to win a game. It shows positive signs about our team. There's no quit in the team. We found a way to make a play when we needed to make a play. We made some mistakes and were able to overcome those mistakes. We'll learn from this particular game. It was a gut-check type of game. We have a lot ot build from, especially going into next week's game against the California Bears.
(On Maurice Drew scoring the game-winning touchdown) It was nice to see a score to get the winning points in the game. That was the important factor. I'll take a victory the way we did it. I'll take two yards of rushing if we can win the ballgame.
It is a relief for just a moment because we won the game. We still have so much work to do, and that's disappointing, but I'm even more encouraged because there are so many things we can build from. The Pac-10 is a very competitive conference. Sometimes you mistake records to be a tell-tale sign of an opponent. If you do those kinds of things you get caught and blindsided. Washington was improving week after week and played well against Notre Dame. That was a pretty good Washington team.
UCLA Quarterback Drew Olson
(on the winning drive in the fourth quarter) It was just one of those drives. I was trying to get it into one of our playmakers' hands. I think Marcus Everett's juke was huge. It gave us a big chunk of yards. Our guys just started to turn it up and we started to make some plays. We called some different plays we hadn't called throughout the game.
(on Washington's defense) That front seven is a pretty good front seven. That's two weeks in a row we haven't been able to run the ball very well. We've got some things to address there. But we won, and that's what matters.
(on being down at halftime) It was good for us. It was gut-check being down 10-0 at halftime. It was nice to see how the guys responded, and hopefully we can build character from it. We just stayed relaxed. A couple of times we found ourselves getting tight and jumping offsides.
It was a frustrating game for the most part. We shouldn't really have to do that (come from behind in the final minutes), but that's the way the game works, and that's why we play it. As long as we came out victorious, that's all that matters.
Washington Head Coach Tyrone Willingham
Tonight we had an opportunity to win. Most of the game, we kept their offense bottled up. But we didn't finish, and they did, and that was the difference.
They did a nice job, and you have to give them credit. They came up and found a way to make some plays. We did some good things too, but obviously not enough of them.
Every loss takes something out of you. I don't think it matters how it comes. For people who don't like to lose, it eats away at you.

Pepper-Spray Attack Led to an Occupy Wall Street Baby
Sex! Love! Lawsuit!
The NYPD's Anthony Bologna was responsible for his share of ugliness during last fall's Occupy Wall Street protests, much of it caught on tape, but he also inadvertently had a hand in something beautiful. Demonstrator Kaylee Dedrick, who was seen wailing in pain after being pepper-sprayed by Bologna, is expecting a baby with the volunteer medic who treated her eyes in a movie theater utility closet. Dedrick met father-to-be Robert Grodt exactly a year ago today and took the anniversary to announce that she'll become the sixth person to sue Bologna, the Times reports. "Despite her lawyers' requests, the couple refuses to name their baby 'Pepper,'" said Dedrick's attorney. A godfather designation for Bologna seems equally unlikely, though he may end up contributing to the kid's college fund anyway.

I ask this because when I read about the attributes of Jesus in the Trinity and compare him to the Jesus as explained by Mormon doctrine I find very little difference. With that being said if there are differences, how do they effect his divinity?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
What attributes does Jesus have from an LDS doctrinal perspective that are different from the Jesus in the Holy Trinity?
The answer to this, in regards to Jesus Christ's divinity, would be: There is little to no difference. The differences in Mormon theology do not alter the way Christ's Divinity is regarded by Mormons vs. the regard given by Trinitarians. Trinitarians and Mormons both view Christ as Divine, and the Most Divine Possible.
I will provide some background, and also explain one potentially insignificant perceived difference that comes to my mind.
While the Mormon Church may believe that the Trinity are 3 separate beings with the same purpose, as opposed to 3 forms of the same being (possibly an oversimplification, but the Trinity is difficult for me to explain) The role of Jesus Christ is the same, through him and him alone comes Salvation. He is Divine. He is God. (From of Mormon perspective you might alter that to say, he is "a God") It it through his merits that all mankind may be saved and live Happily in the afterlife (slightly different perspective on afterlife for Mormons and Mainstream Christinity)
One specific attribute that may be a little (or a lot) different, is the existence of Jesus Christ's physical body. Mormons Believe he still has one, a Divine immortal body that is inseparable from his spirit. Mainstream Christian religious belief may not agree with this idea. I've met pastors who have said that Christ only took a physical form while on earth, and once ascended to heaven returned to a spirit, or spiritual form, and that we too will be like that while in Heaven.
Mormons believe the physical form and spiritual form together will be the final Divine form. Not a mortal physical body, but an immortal physical body. Mormons will refer to this body as a Celestial, Perfected or a Glorified Body. You'd find information about this in The Doctrine and Covenants, a publication from the LDS Church. It's also been repeated by LDS Apostles and Prophets throughout the years.
The difference in Mainstream Christian or more specifically Trinitarian beliefs vs. Mormon beliefs on Christ's Divine physical form may be the biggest difference, if and when it's a difference at all.
The following link may suggest that the difference I perceive is not really a difference: Jesus Ressurection Was Physical
Here is an Official LDS statement on who Jesus Christ is, and his Divine purpose: The Living Christ
Latter Day Saints believe in a doctrine of the trinity which is articulated as the Godhead being "unified in purpose" but not in personage. This is very different than the doctrine of the trinity as articulated in the Nicene Creed which is rejected by the LDS church. Therefore, I think what you are really asking is "What attributes does Jesus have from an LDS doctrinal perspective that are different from the Jesus in the Evangelical, Catholic and Protestant perspective?"
There are a couple significant differences between Jesus that Latter Day Saints(LDS) believe in and Jesus Christ taught by Catholics, Protestants and Evangelicals.
Some Differences are as follows:
The LDS church teaches that Jesus is Son of God in the same way as you and I are - this means we were Jesus Spirit Brother and we can become like him and become Exhaled like him
See Gospel Principles Chapters 2 and 47
In contrast the Nicene creed states "We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten of the Father the only-begotten; that is, of the essence of the Father, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father;"
The LDS church teaches that Jesus is a Creation of God
Doctrines of the Gospel Chapter 4 states that "Jesus Christ is literally the son of God the Eternal Father.'Among the spirit children of Elohim, the first-born was and is Jehovah, or Jesus Christ, to whom all others are juniors'"
Again, in contrast the Nicene creed states that "those who say: 'There was a time when he [the son] was not;' and 'He was not before he was made;' ... they are condemned by the holy catholic and apostolic Church.
The LDS church also believes Lucifer (The Devil) is a Brother and equal of Jesus
Gospel Principles Chapter 3 states that Satan offered a competing plan to Jesus for salvation - "Satan, who was called Lucifer, also came, saying, "Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor" (Moses 4:1). Satan wanted to force us all to do his will. Under his plan, we would not be allowed to choose." The Catholic, Evangelical and Protestant teaching on Satan either simply does not speculate on the Devil's origins or is based on Milton's Paradise Lost.
The LDS church teaches Christ atoned on the Cross and also in the Garden of Gethsemane
True to the Faith states on page 17 "Jesus Atoning sacrifice took place in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross at Calvary. In Gethsemane He submitted to the will of the father and began to take upon himself the sins of all people.
Finally, the LDS church teaches Universal Reconciliation and that Jesus sins covered all
In True to the Faith on page 18, it states "Jesus Christ redeems all people from the effects of the Fall. All people who have ever lived on the earth and who ever will live on the earth will be resurrected and brought back into the presence of God to be judged (see 2 Nephi 2:5-10; Helaman 14:15-17). Through the Savior's gift of mercy and redeeming grace, we will all receive the gift of immortality and live forever in glorified, resurrected bodies"
While this is not necessarily unique to Mormonism, it is rejected by all but a few denominations and sects of Catholicism, Evangelicalism and Protestantism.

Quote of the day
Sep 9th, 2012 at 9:43 pm by susie
It seems to me that it is a minority that ever gets the true and full Gospel. We just keep worshiping Jesus and arguing over the exact right way to do it. The amazing thing is that Jesus never once says, "worship me!", but he often says, "follow me" (e.g., Matthew 4:19).
Christianity is a lifestyle—a way of being in the world that is simple, non-violent, shared, inclusive, and loving. We made it, however, into a formal established religion, in order to avoid the demanding lifestyle itself. One could then be warlike, greedy, racist, selfish, and vain at the highest levels of the church, and still easily believe that Jesus is "my personal Lord and Savior." The world has no time for such silliness anymore. The suffering on Earth is too great.

Nearly, 3,000 investment projects with a combined capital of 40.6 billion Birr were licensed during the past four years of the Growth and Transformation Plan period, the Ethiopian Investment Agency said. 805 of the projects have already started production.
According to Getahun Negash, Public Relations Director at the Agency, most of the projects are in the manufacturing sector, while the remaining are in agriculture and services sectors.
Chinese companies are the first in terms of number of projects, with 121 followed by the U.S.A. with 106 licensed projects during the reported period.
Sudanese, Indian, Canadian, Turkish, British and Israeli companies are placed third to eighth in terms of the number of projects.
Chinese companies are also on top in terms of registered capital of 9.8 billion Birr, followed by Turkish companies with 8.5 billion Birr aggregate capital.
Besides the capital flow, the foreign direct investment helped for technology and knowledge transfer, Getahun said.
He said the government has introduced a single window system ending the bureaucratic procedures investors are forced to deal with in various agencies.

To help inform Samaritan's Community Benefit Plans and areas of focus, Samaritan used each county's Community Health Assessment. Each county's Community Health Assessment was created in collaboration with numerous community leaders and other agency and organizational partners.
The plans are are available to view below:
Each Samaritan hospital has a Community Benefit Plan based on identified community health needs, goals and priorities for each county it serves.
Each hospital's Community Benefit Plan is intended to guide Samaritan's community benefit efforts and is reviewed and approved by its board of directors, which are made up of hospital staff, physicians and community members. The boards review and monitor the progress of the plans each year.
As our communities grow, and as health care continues to undergo transformation, our Community Benefit efforts will become increasingly important to help address the health-related needs of our communities and region.
The plans are available to view below:
