Following a legend is never easy. That is something Carl Yastrzemski discovered after he inherited the Boston Red Sox left field job from Ted Williams at the start of the 1961 season. Yastrzemski played well for Boston his first six years in the American League, winning a batting title and being named to three All-Star teams. Nevertheless, his inability to perform at the same lofty level that Williams reached during his remarkable career often left Yastrzemski feeling frustrated, dejected, and reviled. Frequently booed by the Fenway faithful, the young outfielder led a rather turbulent existence his first few years in Boston. It wasn't until 1967, when Yastrzemski captured the American League triple crown and put together one of the finest all-around seasons in league history, that he was fully accepted by the fans in Boston. From that point on, Yaz reached a level of popularity in Beantown that few other athletes have ever approached.
Born on August 22, 1939 in Southhampton, Long Island, Carl Michael Yastrzemski grew up on his father's potato farm in the small Long Island town of Bridgehampton. As a youngster, Carl played on sandlot baseball teams with his father, Carl Sr., who the younger Yastrzemski always maintained was superior to him as a ballplayer. After starring in baseball, football, and basketball at Bridgehampton High School, Carl Jr. briefly attended Notre Dame University before leaving school to pursue a professional career in baseball. Courted by several major league teams, Yastrzemski eventualy signed with the Boston Red Sox, who immediately assigned him to Raleigh of the Carolina League. Yastrzemski captured the league's batting title in 1959 with a mark of .377, before being promoted to Boston's Triple-A affiliate in Minneapolis the following year. After falling just short of winning his second consecutive batting championship in 1960, Yastrzemski joined the Red Sox for the start of the 1961 campaign.
Yastrzemski placed an immense amount of pressure on himself when he arrived in Boston at the start of the season. The 22-year-old outfielder not only wished to live up to the high expectations his father had set for him, but he also felt compelled to perform exceptionally well since he was considered to be the heir apparent to the recently retired Ted Williams in left field for the Red Sox. Never having failed at any level before, Yastrzemski had a difficult time coping with the initial lack of success he experienced against major league pitching. He later recalled, "I remember I was a scared rookie, hitting .220 after the first three months of my baseball season, and doubting my ability."
Yastrzemski's struggles were such that the Red Sox even called in Williams at one point to work with the slumping youngster. The Splendid Splinter helped to restore the rookie's shattered confidence, telling him at their first meeting, "I know – I know all about you. Look, kid, don't ever – ya' understand me? - don't ever let anyone monkey with your swing."
Williams' positive reinforcement helped Yastrzemski right himself, and the young leftfielder went on to post respectable numbers in his first big-league season, finishing the campaign with 11 home runs, 80 runs batted in, and a .266 batting average. Yaz improved upon those figures in 1962, hitting 19 home runs, driving in 94 runs, scoring 99 others, batting .296, and finishing second in the league with 43 doubles. He won his first batting title the following year, leading the American League with a mark of .321, and also topping the circuit with 183 hits, 40 doubles, 95 walks, and a .418 on-base percentage. Yastrzemski earned his first nomination to the All-Star team, won his first Gold Glove, and placed sixth in the league MVP voting at season's end.
Yastrzemski continued to play well for the Red Sox in each of the next three seasons, finishing among the league leaders in batting average, doubles, and on-base percentage all three years, earning two more selections to the All-Star team, and winning another Gold Glove. In fact, Yaz developed into one of the American League's finest all-around players, possessing good power and a keen batting eye at the plate, and learning to play Fenway's Green Monster in left field to perfection. Nevertheless, the outfielder often found himself the target of verbal taunts from the fans at Fenway. Yastrzemski had yet to reach the heights that were originally predicted for him when he first entered the league, and he further exacerbated his situation by occasionally demonstrating a lack of total concentration on the field. Yaz made errors in judgment on the basepaths from time to time, and he often displayed his frustrations over his own failures at the plate by failing to run out fly balls or infield groundouts. The Boston fans might have treated Yastrzemski better, though, had they realized that it was the outfielder's love and passion for the game that caused these periodic lapses.
Yastrzemski once said, "I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day, and I dream about it at night. The only time I don't think about it is when I'm playing it."
Boston outfielder Joe Lahoud confirmed Yaz's obsession with the sport when he revealed, "Yaz did it all the time. We'd be on the road and he'd call, 'C'mon, we're going to the ballpark.' I'd say, 'Christ, it's only one o'clock. The game's at seven.' He lived, breathed, ate, and slept baseball. If he went 0-for-4, he couldn't live with it. He could live with himself if he went 1-for-3. He was happy if he went 2-for-4. That's the way the man suffered."
Yastrzemski finally won over the Fenway faithful in 1967 when he led the Red Sox to the American League pennant by putting together a truly remarkable season. After working out feverishly during the offseason and adding between five and ten pounds of muscle to his frame, the 5'11" Yastrzemski reported to spring training in the best shape of his life, at close to 185 pounds. Always a ferocious swinger, Yaz's bat appeared just a bit quicker, and he began pulling the ball more regularly, instead of driving it to all fields as he had done in previous years. The change in Yastrzemski's hitting style paid huge dividends, as the outfielder captured the league's triple crown by topping the circuit with 44 home runs, 121 runs batted in, and a .326 batting average. He also finished first with 112 runs scored, 189 hits, 360 total bases, a .418 on-base percentage, and a .622 slugging percentage. In a hotly-contested four-team race, Yastrzemski carried the Red Sox on his back down the stretch, batting .513, hitting five home runs, and knocking in 16 runs over the season's final two weeks, to enable Boston to finish just one game ahead of Detroit and Minnesota in the final standings. Yaz then continued his extraordinary performance against St. Louis in the World Series. Although the Red Sox eventually fell to the Cardinals in seven games, Yastrzemski batted .400, with three homers and five runs batted in. At season's end, Yaz was named A.L. MVP, Sports Illustrated magazine's Sportsman of the Year, and the winner of the Hickok Belt as the top professional athlete of the year.
Although the 1967 season proved to be the finest of Yastrzemski's career, the outfielder remained one of baseball's very best players from 1968 to 1970. He followed up his greatest year by hitting 23 home runs, driving in 74 runs, scoring 90 others, and leading the league with a .301 batting average and a .426 on-base percentage in 1968. Yaz batted only .255 the following year, but he hit 40 homers, knocked in 111 runs, scored 96 others, and won his fifth Gold Glove. Yaz had a sensational 1970 campaign, placing among the league leaders with 40 home runs, 102 runs batted in, and a .329 batting average, and topping the circuit with 125 runs scored, a .452 on-base percentage, and a .592 slugging percentage. He finished fourth in the league MVP voting.
Yastrzemski never again posted huge offensive numbers, but he remained an extremely productive hitter until he finally retired at the conclusion of the 1983 campaign, at the age of 44. Although Yaz hit a total of only 75 home runs between 1971 and 1975, he consistently finished among the American League leaders in on-base percentage, and he topped the circuit with 93 runs scored in 1974. He had his last big year in 1977, batting .296, hitting 28 homers, driving in 102 runs, scoring 99 others, and winning the last of his seven Gold Gloves for his outstanding play in left field. Yaz spent his final six seasons splitting time between the outfield, first base, and DH spots. He retired at the conclusion of the 1983 campaign with 452 home runs, 1,844 runs batted in, 1,816 runs scored, 3,419 hits, a .285 batting average, and an outstanding .379 on-base percentage. Yaz also accumulated 646 doubles and 1,845 walks during his career, figures that place him seventh and sixth on the all-time lists, respectively. He was the first player in American League history to surpass 400 home runs and 3,000 hits. Yastrzemski topped 40 homers three times, 100 runs batted in five times, 100 runs scored twice, and batted over .300 on six separate occasions. In addition to leading the league in home runs and runs batted in once each, he topped the circuit in on-base percentage five times, runs scored, doubles, and slugging percentage three times each, and hits twice. He also won three batting titles. Yastrzemski was named to the All-Star Team a total of 18 times during his career. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989, in his first year of eligibility.
Still, despite his many accomplishments on the baseball diamond, Carl Yastrzemski says he never really enjoyed himself on the field. After his playing career was over, Yastrzemski admitted, "I loved the game. I loved the competition. But I never had any fun. I never enjoyed it. All hard work all the time."

You guys have heard of FitFlops, right? The slogan goes "it's a flip flop with the gym built in; put a pair on and get a workout while you walk."
FitFlop is a U.K.-based company which sells these shoes. In 2007, Marcia Kilgore, founded FitFlop based on a technology developed by two biomechanics researchers.
Anyways so the special part of these FitFlops is the Microwobbleboard, which is found in the sole of the FitFlop sandal. This wobbleboard is made of a chemical called ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), commonly known as "foam rubber", which is the darling of running shoes. The sole of this sandal has three different sections. Basically the density of cushioning is different in the 3 sections. Heel, mid sole, fore foot.
It has a high-density heel section to absorb the force on the body produced by walking and a low-density mid-section "such that application of a user's weight, during use, causes instability." The idea behind creating this instability environment is to destabilize the foot slightly and force the legs to work harder by engaging muscles for a longer period of time with each step. Hence they claim that this footwear help to tone up legs and bums muscles.
My take on FitFlops
I found them super comfortable. The cushioning is nice. It is like wearing a sofa in your feet. It is not like a highly cushioned 'sofa' I mean. Rather, it is a comfortably cushioned sofa. As in the cushioning is in sync with the gait and biomechanics of the human feet. But as far as thecompany's claim of getting fit wearing these goes, I do not think that you can get fit just by walking in a foot wear. While some say you can wear these things and feel the burn in your butt and calves, you'd have to do some serious walking in them to see results--and walking in flip flops can lead to foot problems ,warn some. Even more, experts suggest that you should only wear these things if you have the right type of feet. Surprising, I know. Cary M. Golub, DPM, a podiatrist in private practice in Long Beach, N.Y.,spoke to WebMD on the topic: "They are not meant for everybody, especially the person with flat feet," says Golub. "For these people, it's like sticking a rock in the arch, which pushes the arch up, creating calf pain," he says. He adds that he has seen patients with leg complaints after wearing FitFlops.
Do you wear these things? Have you been thinking about buying them? I have to admit, it sounds like an appealing product, but I don't think they're very cute, what about you?

Shaping up to be one of the more mediocre cards of the year UFC 119 takes place on Saturday, September 25th at the Canseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis Indiana. Without a title or any interesting sub-plots I look forward to getting a little more clarity in the light heavyweight division standings.
Here are my picks:
Joey Beltran vs. Matt Mitrione = Mitrione by TKO
C.B. Dollaway vs. Joe Doerksen = Dollaway by decision
Melvin Guillard vs. Jeremy Stevens = Guillard by KO
Evan Dunham vs. Sean Sherk = Dunham by decision
Chris Lytle vs. Matt Serra = Serra via Submission
Ryan Bader vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira = Bader by decision
Mirko Filipovic vs. Frank Mir = Mir via Submission
UFC 119 Predictions

Shaping up to be one of the more mediocre cards of the year UFC 119 takes place on Saturday, September 25th at the Canseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis Indiana. Without a title or any interesting sub-plots I look forward to getting a little more clarity in the light heavyweight division standings.
only thing I don't agree with
only thing I don't agree with is :
Ryan Bader vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira = Bader by decision
I see Bader by knockout. Decision is a maybe since it looks like he has better takedowns then Lil Nog and will probably rack up points that way
ughhh, what?
Chris Lytle has never been submitted in 52 career fights (17 that happened in the UFC) and Matt Serra has only submitted one person in the UFC, Kelly Dullanty, over the course of 11 total fights for the promotion. It should also be noted that his win over Dullanty happened 8 1/2 years ago. Dullanty then went into retirement for over 6 years after that fight, only to lose again, and retire again.
Did you even watch the first fight between Lytle and Serra? Many people believe that Split Decision could have very easily gone either way at the TUF 4 Finale.
Instead of dismissing this event as "one of the more mediocre cards of the year", why don't you read up on the event first. Here's 5 reasons, I'll be watching.
1. The rematch between Serra and Lytle has been something many have been waiting for and is taking place in Lytle's hometown of Indianapolis, which will heighten the crowd intensity of the fight.
2. Ryan Bader vs. Little Nog has possible title implications and will be a good test for each coming off their last fights. This is a big step up in competition for Bader and Little Nog will be facing another high-level wrestler, after having problems with Jason Brilz in his last fight.
3. Evan Dunham is one of the top contenders in the lightweight division and he's fighting the former lightweight champion Sean Sherk.
4. Melvin Guillard vs. Jeremy Stephens has "barn burner" and "fight of the night" written all over it.
5. You only listed 7 fights above. UFC 119 actually has 11 fights scheduled, including the UFC debuts of iron-chinned PRIDE and K-1 vet Mark Hunt and the massive (6'7", cuts to 265 lbs.) Sean McCorkle. Their debut fights for the UFC will be against each other in McCorkle's hometown.
Overcat, I am familiar with
Overcat, I am familiar with the event so I won't be "reading up on it". But here is were you are wrong my friend....
1. Lytle vs Serra would have been exciting years ago but both fighters are now past there prime.
2. Bader vs lil Nog does not have "possible title implications" as you suggest, this fight will determine where the two fighters stand in the top 10 lightheavy's. After Bader wins maybe he'll get Forrest or Jones.
3. "Little Nog will be facing another high-level wrestler". Since when is Jason Brilz a high level wrestler?
4. I agree that Guillard and Stephens will be a barnburner.
5. I did not list the prelims on purpose, And come on seriously Mark Hunt???
Like I said Mediocre!!!

A couple years ago I bought a festive lampshade for $1 during after-Christmas sales….and it's been waiting for me to use it ever since! Recently, I decided to give the shade a new look, and I shared the makeover at Infarrantly Creative.
For starters, I had to take the cute-by-Christmasy red and green striped trim off of the lampshade. It came off easily. I decided to cover the shade in a really cute arrow patterned fabric, so I used the shade to create a template and cut out my fabric. I used spray adhesive to attache the new fabric to the plain shade. I love the way it turned out!
Visit my blog, Infarrantly Creative, to get more details on this lampshade redo.

Who is behind the new 1.3.13 videos airing on Impact Wrestling?
The talk coming out of this week's TVs was that the 1.3.13 videos were for the return of Sting. Stuff like this is always subject to change and TNA may change the plan with this leaking online, however, I can tell you this was the word as of this week.
I see WWE is advertising the 12/19 show in Rochester, NY as a television event, however, this is the night they are airing Tribute to the Troops on the USA Network. What's the latest?
WWE will tape the 12/28 episode of Smackdown next Wednesday night in Rochester. They will then tape the New Year's Eve Raw on Saturday, December 29 in Washington, DC. They will tape that week's Smackdown on Sunday, December 30th in Richmond, Virginia. The taping schedule is mixed up due to the holidays. We'll have all the taping results here at WrestlingNewsWorld.com.
Vince McMahon made a joke on Raw after walking in on Vickie Guerrero in a compromising position. Does this mean he is starting to change from the PG format?
It's interesting you mention this as there seems to be an internal feeling to make the product edgier once again. It's not a departure from the PG initiative as Vince McMahon is still committed to family-friendly programming; but there is some panic over the recent abysmal ratings and ideas are being pitched to try and reverse the trend. As for McMahon's joke on Raw, I wouldn't read too much into it.
John Cena is 35-years-old. Realistically, how much longer does he have as WWE's top guy?
This is something you're going to hear a lot more about over the next several months as John Cena will be 36 years old next year and his 10 years in the ring haven begun to take their toll on his body. WWE realizes Cena can't carry them forever and they are trying to produce new top stars. We've been all over names possibly in line for mega pushes with a new update here on WrestlingNewsWorld.com Premium.

I never gave much thought to wood rasps. I own some pretty nice ones from when I made furniture, but as a carpenter I only occasionally used them—mostly for cleaning up cope cuts. If someone asked if I'd spend $100 on a rasp I'd probably laugh and think they were kidding. But that was before I saw a video of rasps being made at the Auriou Toolworks in France. It's hard to believe how much handwork goes into making these tools, or that once upon a time all rasps were made by blacksmiths in more or less the same manner.
Does this mean I plan to run out and buy one of these rasps? Heck no—I'm too cheap. But that doesn't mean I can't watch the video of rasps being made at the Auriou shop. After all, YouTube is free. Highlights include:
I'm impressed by the number of steps that goes into making one of these things. I still don't want an Auriou Rasp. But if someone I know buys one I won't give him a hard time for spending so much; I'll say, "That looks pretty nice; would you mind if I try it?"

Sunday, in their traditional issue about this years Emmys, Newsday's cover page read: 'Do the Emmys still matter?' And no matter how hard they may argue to the contrary, the fact is, each year, it's harder to answer something other than 'not really'
The Emmys are supposed to honor the greatest in TV, but each year they are noted more and more for who they leave out than who they include, and the sad fact is, I'm beginning to think the Golden Globes and the Broadcast Critic awards are far more relevant and entertaining than the Emmys can be..
This may seem a strange thing to say, considering that TV has been at a level of sustained excellence that has not been seen in more than two decades, but while the Hollywood Foreign Press and The Broadcast Critics tend to cast a wider net, the Emmys tend to resemble with each passing year, a game of musical chairs where only HBO, AMC, FX, Showtime, and now Netflix can participate. And that's for drama--- the net gets even narrower for comedies..
Last night may have proved that more than any other show. In the Best Drama category, every winner in the acting category had won at least once before. Now let me be clear, Breaking Bad is, until the next candidate comes to dethrone, the current contender for one of the greatest TV shows ever made. Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn have given some of the most magnificent performances in the history of television (and considering the abuse Skyler took in the last couple of seasons, Gunn deserved some sort of recompense) It doesn't change the fact that even the winners felt obliged some of the great talent that was once again cast aside (and in the case of Josh Charles and Matthew McConaughey, they are unlikely to get another chance.) I didn't have a problem with them winning, or for that matter with Juliana Marguiles prevailing for The Good Wife. It's the idea of having to honor the same people over and over again that bothers me.
It was even more evident in the Comedy category. Every major winner won at least once before. Now I love The Big Bang Theory and Veep and I'm a big fan of Allison Janney, but there were many many deserving nominees in each category who should've prevailed. We seem to be reaching a pattern that prevailed in the 1990s, when the Emmys kept honoring David Hyde-Pierce and Helen Hunt and John Lithgow over and over, and again ten years ago, when Everybody Loves Raymond was all the Emmy voters could think about. I am once again beginning to think that we might at least want to consider some kind of rule that a winner in any category can't be nominated the following year. Ty Burrell, Jim Parsons and Julia Louis-Dreyfus can't be considered for a trophy until 2016. This may sound extreme, but it would grant a little fairness to actors like Jon Hamm and Amy Poehler, whose Emmy-less streaks border on the ludicrous when you consider just how great their body of work has been. We may also want to consider some kind of limit on the number of trophies an actor can win---- Allison Janney is a superb actress, but really does she need another Emmy at this point.
But every so often, there is a sign that maybe the universe is balancing things out after awhile. HBO was nearly completely shutout of the major prizes this season--- aside from the prize for The Normal Heart and Veep, they went home relative empty handed. Meanwhile, Sherlock, one of the most incredible convergences of talent and writing was one of the nights big winners, taking seven trophies in all, including long overdue prizes for Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Even that wondrous talent Steven Moffat seemed overwhelmed when he finally prevailed in the Best Writing category. As if they need any more of a reason for us to look forward to Season 4.
More Repeats at this Year's Emmys

Years ago with my pony I used to ride in shorts, but bareback, when the weather was like this. Won't be doing it these days as legs aren't what they used to be and current horse and me dont do bareback! Have ridden in shorts on saddle but too painfull on the legs from the stirrup leathers!
Always wear jeans now whatever the weather. As for boots, in winter I wear long boots, country style, and summer I have those Dublin trainer style short boots, and Mountain horse lightweight chaps.

I love this weather as a chap as the girls wear things they really should not like a halter neck sun top which came off at canter, the women in jeans who split them and thats all she had on, then the group from Butlins at Minehead who rode in shorts T shirt and a pair of trainers for a 2 hour ride, they looked funny at 2 of us dressed in full riding gear but we were not the ones in pain after the ride over Exmoor, but I am evil and love people to find out we don't dress like we do for the fun of it. The only change I have for the hot weather is a short sleeved polo shirt.

I used to have a quite thin pair of Dublin jods, and wore short boots and half chaps, with a sleeveless top, no gloves.
My legs woud get sore with jods and long thick socks, so I would never ever wear shorts - far too painful, unless bareback.

i think you need to ask yourself, do the dangers go away because the weather changes? The answer is NO. When i can ride I still wear my bodyguard jacket, hi viz, hat, jods and long booots, or my leather boots with leather chaps. No point in taking risks, just because you may get hot. You may get badly injured in stead! Sorry rant over!!!!

The Wellington Heat held down the Liberal Bee Jays to win 6-2 at Brent Gould Field in Liberal Sunday night. The Heat plated six unanswered runs to win the series 2-1. The Bee Jays have already dropped two home series this season.
Liberal struck first when TCU's Dylan Delso ripped a double down the leftfield line on a 3-0 pitch to score Texas State's Lewis Guilbeau. Liberal scored again in the third when Grayson's Zach Reding lined a single to right to score Wichita State's Tanner Kirk who singled to lead off the inning. But Liberal ran themselves out of the inning when a baserunner tried to advance from first to second on a pop up to short. The Bee Jays looked to add to their lead in the fourth with two on and no outs. But when Liberal missed a bunt, a BJ baserunner was thrown out at third trying to steal and that killed the inning.
Wellington scored two in the fifth, two in the sixth, and two unearned runs thanks to anothe BJ error at shortstop in the eighth. Liberal only had one error in the game but committed a mind numbing 13 errors for the weekend.
Seward's Austin King win five and one third strong innings allowing two runs in a no decision.
Liberal is 10-9 overall and 6-9 in the Jayhawk League. Wellington is 12-8 overall and 7-8 in the Jayhawk.
The BJ's host the Boulder Collegians Monday night at 7 and Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites is the buyout sponsor.

Open your eyes, undo the seem
It's not like before, it's not just a dream
A hint of a smile as your hand touches mine
No longer alone, I feel them entwine
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, eventually
I'm holding your hand, you say quietly
Baby, don't go, stay here with me
So this is it, to you I belong
No more goodbyes, we knew all along
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, eventually
Open you eyes, shh
It's not just a dream

WHAT'S HAPPENING: Ending a three-game road losing skid with a victory at Washington State on Thursday night, the University of Arizona women's basketball team (21-7, 13-4 Pac-10) now finds itself in a position to claim at least a portion of the Pac-10 regular-season title. Arizona will wrap up conference action on Saturday, Feb. 28, at Washington in a contest that will be broadcast live nationally on Fox Sports Net at 1 p.m. PST. A win over the Huskies would make the Wildcats at least co-Pac-10 champions, the program's first-ever conference title.
TWO CAREER PERFORMANCES TO WATCH: With 993 points through the first 59 games of her career, Shawntinice Polk is just seven points from becoming the fastest Wildcat and the first UA sophomore ever to reach the 1,000-point mark. Polk should reach that mark during Saturday's game at Washington, which would be a total of 60 career contests.
Former Cat and all-time leading scorer Adia Barnes (1995-98) currently has the distinction of being fastest to score 1,000, reaching that mark in 61 games, the first contest of her junior season. Dee-Dee Wheeler is currently the second-fastest, gaining that mark in just 70 career games.
Senior guard Aimee Grzyb needs to play just 13 minutes against the Huskies to become Arizona's new career leader in minutes played. She stands in second place with 3688 minutes played. The current career leader is Regina Grennan (1987-90), who saw 3700 minutes during her time at Arizona.
SCOUTING ARIZONA: With a close 77-72 win at Washington State on Thursday, the Wildcats improved to 21-7 overall and 13-4 in Pac-10 play. That win, plus Stanford's loss at Oregon, puts Arizona in a tie for first place with the Cardinal. Arizona State and USC are tied for third, each standing at 11-6.
Junior guard Dee-Dee Wheeler remains Arizona's top scorer, averaging 17.8 points per game. She is the team's assists leader as well, registering 4.8 per contest.
Sophomore center Shawntinice Polk is second in scoring, at 16.3 points per game, and is the top rebounder, grabbing 10.1 rpg. Senior guard Aimee Grzyb is third in scoring, averaging 10.4 ppg, followed by sophomore guard Natalie Jones with 9.0 ppg. Jones and junior center Danielle Adefeso are tied for second on the team in rebounding, each averaging 4.4 per game.
ARIZONA IN THE PAC-10 STATS: Through games of Feb. 26, Arizona leads the Pac-10 in scoring (73.2 ppg), is first in field goal percentage (.465), second in scoring margin (+8.6 ppg), second in field goal percentage defense (.402), second in rebounding defense (33.3 rpg), second in blocked shots (4.00 bpg) and third in rebounding margin (+5.1 rpg).
Individually, Polkey is the Pac-10 leader in blocked shots (2.64 bpg), is second in rebounding (10.1 rpg), second in field goal percentage (.568) and fourth in scoring (16.2 ppg). Dee-Dee Wheeler is third in scoring (17.8 ppg), third in steals (2.82 spg), fourth in assists (4.79 apg), fourth in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.25), sixth in field goal percentage (.486) and 10th in three-point percentage (.364).
Natalie Jones is fifth in free throw percentage (.775) and 10th in steals (1.71 spg), while Aimee Grzyb is fifth in three-pointers made per game (1.64 pg) and 16th in scoring (10.4 ppg).
SCOUTING WASHINGTON: On a three-game winning streak, the Huskies improved to 16-10 overall and 9-8 in Pac-10 action with a 63-55 win over Arizona State at home on Thursday.
With an average of 20.7 points per game, senior guard Giuliana Mendiola leads Washington and the Pac-10 in scoring. She is UW's second-leading rebounder, grabbing 6.0 per game. Fellow senior Andrea Lalum is second in scoring with an average of 15.7 ppg, while freshman forward Jill Bell is Washington's top rebounder, at 6.5 per contest.
In her eighth year at Washington, head coach June Daugherty (Ohio State, 1978) has a 138-96 record. She has a career mark of 261-170 in 15 seasons.
THE SERIES vs. WASHINGTON: The Huskies have a solid 25-12 lead in the series with Arizona, although the Wildcats have won eight of the last 11 meetings and the last three in a row. Earlier this season, the Cats handed Washington an 89-74 loss in Tucson on Dec. 27 at the start of Pac-10 play.
Arizona is 1-16 all-time when playing in Seattle, but the Cats have never won a game in Hec Edmundson Pavilion. The program's lone victory in Seattle came on Jan. 15, 2000, a contest that was played at Mercer Arena during the renovation of HecEd. Arizona won that game, 96-85.
LAST MEETING WITH WASHINGTON: Featuring a well-balanced offense, the Wildcats logged a big 89-74 win over Washington at home to open Pac-10 play on Dec. 27.
The Huskies scrapped to an 8-4 lead at 17:24, which Arizona promptly tied at 8-8 just one minute later. The two teams traded buckets for the next five minutes, until the Wildcats scored 10 unanswered points to go ahead, 28-18, with just over eight minutes remaining in the first half. The closest Washington came for the remainder of the period was eight points, as Arizona finished the half on a 13-4 run to take a 46-29 lead into halftime.
The Wildcats began the second half with a 5-0 spurt to stretch their lead to 22 points (51-29) at 18:38. Four minutes later, the Huskies cut the lead to 16 (55-39), but the Cats used an 18-7 run to go back up by 27 points (73-46), their largest lead of the game, at 9:13.
Over the next five minutes, Arizona allowed Washington to hit five 3-pointers, as the Huskies mounted a comeback attempt and cut the lead to 14 points (80-66) with 4:08 to play. After an Arizona timeout, the Cats rebounded a missed Husky shot and converted it into an Aimee Grzyb three-pointer to stop Washington's momentum. The Wildcats out-scored the Huskies, 9-8, down the stretch to extend their win streak over UW in Tucson to nine games.
Five Wildcats reached double digits in scoring, led by Shawntinice Polk's 19 points and game-high 15 rebounds, her third double-double of the year. Dee-Dee Wheeler finished with 19 points and six assists, while Aimee Grzyb and Natalie Jones added 17 points apiece. CoCoa Sanford came off the bench for 11 points, all in the first half, and grabbed six rebounds. RECAPPING ARIZONA'S LAST ACTION -- at Washington State (Feb. 26): A 15-point second half from Dee-Dee Wheeler provided the Wildcats with the edge they needed to slip past Washington State, 77-72, on Feb. 26 in Pullman.
The Cats opened the game with a 16-7 run through the first seven minutes, only to see Washington State put on its own 20-6 spurt to gain a five-point (27-22) advantage with just over eight minutes left in the first. A 9-2 run gave the Cats a brief two-point (31-29) lead at 4:14. WSU out-scored Arizona, 9-8, over the remainder of the period, but the Wildcats still held onto a 39-38 lead at the break.
Arizona began the second half with a 9-3 spurt over the first five minutes to go ahead by seven points (48-41), and five minutes later, the Cats had stretched their advantage to 10 points (59-49). The Wildcats still held a double-digit lead with 5:52 remaining, then the Cougars began chipping away at the spread.
WSU went on an 11-5 run that included a three-pointer with 19 seconds left that chopped the Cats' lead to just five points (75-70). The Cougars began fouling to stop the clock, and although the Cats made just two of their four late free throw attempts, they made WSU miss the only shot it got off in the waning seconds of the game.
After being held to just five points in the first half, Wheeler drained a trio of three-pointers late in the contest and finished with a team-high 20 points. She also added five assists and four steals. Shawntinice Polk ripped off 15 first-half points on her way to 19 for the game, along with a team-high 14 rebounds, six assists and six blocked shots. Aimee Grzyb added 12 points and four assists, while CoCoa Sanford came off the bench for 10 points.
STUFF THIS: Just a sophomore, Shawntinice Polk is already Arizona's career leader in blocked shots, now with 154. Against Oregon on Feb. 21, she passed former Wildcat Elizabeth Pickney (1999-2002), who tallied 147 blocks in her career.
Polkey has also moved into the No. 9 spot on the Pac-10 career blocked shots chart. She needs just eight more swats to move up to No. 8, a spot currently occupied by USC's Michelle Campbell (1994-97), with 162.
CRASHING THE BOARDS: With her total of 195 rebounds in Pac-10 play, Shawntinice Polk has set a new school record for the most rebounds in conference action. She surpassed her own mark of 176 set last season. If Polk maintains her current rebounding average of 11.5 in league play, that will be a new school record as well.
LONG-RANGE DEFENSE?: The Wildcats are allowing opponents to drain a rather high average of 6.4 three-point field goals per game this season. While the Cats limited nonconference opponents to just 28.3 percent (54-191) shooting from beyond the arc, they have allowed Pac-10 teams to make 38.1 percent (126-331) of their three-point attempts. Arizona has allowed more three-pointers in conference action than any other Pac-10 team.
With one game left in regular-season conference action, the Wildcats have already set a new school record by allowing opponents to hit 126 three-pointers in Pac-10 play. The previous record was 106, set by the 2001-02 team.
STICKY FINGERS: Dee-Dee Wheeler has amassed a career-best season total of 79 steals this year, the highest number of steals for any Wildcat since Reshea Bristol set the school record at 96 thefts during the 2000-01 season. Wheeler's 79 currently ranks fourth on the UA's single-season top 10 list in that category.
In Pac-10 play, Wheeler has set a new school record with 58 steals against conference opponents. The previous record was 57, set by Keisha Anderson during Pac-10 play in 1992-93.
STARTING SUITS HER: Freshman forward Shannon Hobson seems finally to be coming into her own. Since entering the starting lineup for the Cats 10 games ago, Hobson has averaged 6.2 points and 3.6 rebounds per game and has made 51.9 percent (27-52) of her shot attempts. She has also played a total of 202 minutes in the last 10 games, which is more than she had played in the previous 18 games combined (186). Hobson averaged just 3.2 points and 1.3 rebounds per game when coming off the bench.
BEEN CAUGHT STEALIN': After registering a paltry 4.2 steals per game during non-conference play, the Wildcats lifted their average to a solid 10.8 thefts per contest in Pac-10 action.
TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL: Dee-Dee Wheeler's numbers through the first 10 games of this season were certainly nothing to scoff at. She posted averages of 15.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game, while shooting 43.7 percent (59-135) from the floor.
Yet, over Arizona's last 18 games, Wheeler has raised her performance another notch. In the last 18 contests, she has averaged 19.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.3 steals per game. The most notable difference has been in her shooting -- she has hit a hot 51.1 percent (138-270) of her shots over the last 18 games, shooting 53 percent or better from the floor in 10 of those contests. Wheeler has scored 19 points or more in 13 of the last 18 games.
GOTTA TAKE CARE OF THE BALL: Since entering Pac-10 play, the Wildcats' turnover average has gone through the roof. After averaging just 15.9 miscues per game in non-conference action, Arizona's average has gone up to 18.7 per contest in Pac-10 games. The Cats committed a season-high 36 turnovers in their win over USC at home on Jan. 15, the highest turnover total for an Arizona squad since the Wildcats had 36 at Arizona State on Jan. 17, 1998.
JONES-ING FOR THE PAC-10: Sophomore guard Natalie Jones' numbers have gone up significantly since the Cats started Pac-10 play. Against conference opponents, she is averaging 10.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.1 steals per game. She is also shooting a solid 42.4 percent (56-132) from the floor in Pac-10 action.
By contrast, Jones' averages against non-conference opponents were 6.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game, and she made just 27.2 percent (22-81) of her field goal attempts.
DON'T LIKE LIVING OUT OF A SUITCASE: The Wildcats have had a rough time in road games this season, especially since the start of Pac-10 play. Arizona is just 4-4 on the road in conference action and has lost three of its last four Pac-10 road contests.
Struggling on the road has become a disturbing trend for the Arizona program over the last few seasons. Since the 2000-01 season, the Wildcats are just 22-28 when playing on the road, including a paltry 14-21 mark in Pac-10 road games. The last time the Cats had a decent road record was in 1999-2000, when they were 9-4 overall and 7-2 in Pac-10 away games.
AS DEE-DEE GOES...: So goes her team, or at least that's the way it has seemed since her arrival at Arizona. During Dee-Dee Wheeler's career, the Wildcats have gone 15-6 when she has reached the 20-point mark in scoring. At the same time, the Wildcats are 35-11 when she scores 15 points or more.
LOOKING AT THE TRENDS: This season, Arizona is... 20-1 when shooting better than its opponent from the field, but 1-6 when shooting worse... 17-1 when tied or leading at the half... 18-2 when giving up 69 points or less, but 3-5 when allowing 70 points or more... 17-0 when scoring 70 points or more... 19-3 when shooting 40% or better from the field... 16-2 when committing fewer turnovers than its opponent.
WE LIKE TO SCORE: During Joan Bonvicini's tenure at Arizona, Wildcat teams have won 75 games by margins of 20 points or more. Seven of those blowouts have happened this season alone.
80 IS THE MAGIC NUMBER: It seems that the 80-point mark almost always means adding another to the "win" column for the Wildcats. In the 32-year history of UA women's basketball, the Cats have posted a 155-21 record when scoring 80 points or more in a game. Under Joan Bonvicini, the Wildcats have gone 115-14 when topping the 80-point plateau.
CAT SCRATCHES: The Arizona women's basketball program has a 395-438 (.474) all-time record, however it is 185-81 (.695) from the 1996 season to present... Joan Bonvicini has a 221-116 career record against Pac-10 teams.
ON LOCATION: This season, the Wildcats have a 14-0 record at home, are 6-6 on the road and 1-1 in neutral contests. Last year, Arizona was 13-1 at home, 7-6 on the road and 2-2 in neutral games.

U.K. Consumers Deeply Skeptical Over Data Collection
The British public is deeply skeptical of companies collecting personal data, does not trust companies to safeguard that data, and opponents of data collection overwhelmingly outnumber those who support it, according to a report published Tuesday.
Data Nation 2012, published by Deloitte, found that while 82% of the U.K. population are aware their data is collected by organizations, only 29% are confident companies will not sell or share their data with other groups without their knowledge.
On average, people are over eight times more likely to oppose data use than to favor it. Of those opposed, more than half (51%) say it is because they do not know what will happen to their data once collected.
Indeed according to the report, the top two issues that would make a customer consider never using a company again are data-related: 70% said they would consider breaking off the relationship if the company failed to keep their personal data safe, and 56% said that selling anonymized data — data that has had personally identifiable information removed — to other companies would potentially result in similar action.
"Misuse of data generated more negative sentiment than excessive executive pay and bonuses: 40% cited this as a reason to seriously consider not using a company again, while 49 per cent said they have concerns about companies damaging the environment," the report said.
Harvey Lewis, Deloitte Analytics research director and an author of the report, said that while the report made for hard reading for companies, it represented a huge opportunity. "There is a real lack of understanding and comprehension of what organizations are doing with customer's data," said Mr. Lewis. "This creates a massive opportunity for organizations if they can help customers understand what the data is being used for."
He suggested simple steps could be taken by companies, for example a simple "data charter." "The report showed that 27% of customers would be more comfortable with a company if they were explicit in what they were doing with the data."
One of the key promises of Big Data, the ability to deliver more focussed and targeted advertising, was not welcomed by customers. "When asked directly how they feel about receiving such tailored communications, adverts or offers for products or services that are based on items previously bought or looked at, only one in six of the UK population (17%) said they are happy. Of the remainder, 45% said they are unhappy and 38% were either undecided or don't know how they feel."
"The highest levels of unhappiness are felt by those aged 45 and older: 52 per cent of this age group are unhappy, compared to 38% of those aged 15 to 44."
Unhappiness with data collection in general appeared to be linked to age and income. Those in favor of data use tended to be younger, used the Internet less frequently and were readers of mass-market newspapers. Those who opposed data collection were higher income (£50,000+ and from AB socio-economic groups).
The report will be welcomed by the European Commission, which has made enhanced data protection a key policy objective. However Mr. Lewis cautions against a too legalistic approach to data protection. "It's one thing to create legislation that protects data, which is what the European directive is doing. It is a different challenge for organizations to say that my customers will become entirely satisfied if I just apply those principles.
"If you concentrate too much on data protection, if you think that is the only reason your customers are not engaging with you because they are frightened about you losing your data, then you miss the opportunity about engaging with them more openly about how you are using your data."
The 2012 Deloitte data attitudes survey is based on two focus group sessions and a national survey carried by Ipsos MORI on Deloitte's behalf. The survey sample comprised 1,036 teenagers and adults, aged 15 and older, representative of the national population. It was conducted using face-to-face interviews between March 30 and April 5.
Individuals were asked about their attitudes towards organisations collecting and using their personal data. This includes data such as personal finance details; health, medical history and past illnesses; personal and contact information; goods and services purchase history; and, social networking posts.

California Workforce Data Strategies
While workforce studies provide important snapshots of the workforce at one point in time and help to guide policy decisions, they cannot be used to identify trends or to gauge progress. Because of their cost they are seldom repeated in a timely manner leaving policymakers and stakeholders to rely on dated information.
For these reasons, we have turned our attention in recent years to building comprehensive workforce data systems for the California early care and education workforce. Currently, we are participating in statewide efforts to pilot and build a California Workforce Registry.
Our California Workforce Data Strategies work is supported by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

In 2005, CSCCE and the California Child Care Resource and Referral Network, with funding from First 5 California and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, conducted the California Early Childhood Workforce Study, a statewide survey of the licensed child care workforce in California. The study identified the number of home-based and center-based staff working in licensed child care positions; wages; the educational qualifications of this workforce, analyzed by age, languages spoken, and ethnic background; and tenure of those working in licensed facilities. The statewide survey was replicated in eight California counties.

Ted DiBiase's WWE departure does not come as a surprise (See also – Ted DiBiase Gone From WWE). His contract was up and he chose not to re-sign. DiBiase never understood why WWE nixed his push and was frustrated about his position in the company.
While DiBiase understood the importance of "waiting for his time," he grew burn out from the travel schedule only to not be placed in storylines. DiBiase is hoping that one day things will work out for him to return to the company but he wanted to try something else that would allow him to spend more time at home. He's a new father and didn't like life on the road.
He was well liked and respected in the locker room and got along with a lot of the boys in the back.

You were living in Eagan at the time? I've been in Eagan for about 28 years. And one thing that happened within those first three years is I got half a dozen checks in the mail. People just sent me money. I call it the frying pan over the head: "Maybe this should be a nonprofit. Maybe this should be funded by charitable giving?" Because if you're providing values that impact people's lives, they'll donate. It's that self-fulfilling thing. If we're not providing a value, we're not going to get charitable contributions. And to me, it was the understanding that this needed to be a protected environment.
Protected from commercials. You're doing them a service and you don't want them to feel exploited. They're vulnerable. CaringBridge should feel like a mortuary or a hospital. Correct. One of the other funding models I thought of was trying to sell this to hospitals and maybe that would work. But I didn't want to do what the hospitals wanted; I wanted to be able to do what the families needed.
Did you have some serious conversations with health care providers? Absolutely. I actually had some early sponsorship. I would say Children's Hospitals and Clinics was one of the earliest and more important supporters of CaringBridge. They still do a phenomenal job of making their patients and families know about CaringBridge. And they understand what a valuable part that is of their care journey.
The military seemed to be another early adopter. Yes, very early on. And that was why it was important to have Cory's story in there. Because I wanted to have the flavor of the military in there.
There are a lot of Christians in there as well. I would say with CaringBridge there's a lot of spirituality within the sites across the board.
Both Mehring's 94-year-old grandmother Bessie and her mom, Bonnie, had CaringBridge sites. The site was helpful when Bonnie was recovering from stage IV breast cancer in 1998. In 2001, Bonnie developed liver cancer and Mehring reactivated her mother's site. The cancer took Bonnie's life later that year.
I would imagine when people are hurt or dying there's always going to be that aspect. But was that a conscious effort to select Christians? It wasn't a conscious effort.
Are you Christian? I was born Pres-byterian and I'm Catholic now. Married a Catholic. But I don't have the cradle Catholic guilt, or so they tell me.
Good for you! I'm still working through mine. So you spurned the hospitals and ultimately decided you were going to do this on your own. I decided to have it be a nonprofit. That was an important decision. I had not run a nonprofit before, did not know much about nonprofits. And so I brought in people that did. A big part of a nonprofit is the governing board is basically your owner. You know, my kids every once in a while give me grief how we could be rich because I could've gone a different way with social networking.
Maybe. Yeah, maybe. A lot of things have to line up right. I've had a number of startup businesses. I really am for-profit minded. As I walked into the nonprofit sector, you have to be very financially sound. You have to make good business decisions. It's important to run an efficient nonprofit. A business! Because people are donating their charitable dollars, you have a responsibility around stewardship of that money. It should be used to make an impact on people.
But how can you put a number on that? If you're spending 50 cents on every dollar that you're trying to raise, that's horrible. You should be spending 80 percent of your revenue on investing and making an impact. Fundraising and admin is that other 20 percent.
Seems like the scrutiny would be constricting. I enjoy the transparency. It's required and it's needed. We do a yearly audit, and it's important that we are spending people's charitable dollars in the most effective, impactful way.
Nancy Worthen's daughter Margaret suffered a catastrophic brain stem stroke while writing her final paper during her final semester at college. In the book, Nancy tells her story about making decisions for her daughter and her struggle to find a new way of living for both of them.
How much do you make? I make about $180,000. That's not outrageous, but you know, it's not bottom shelf either. It may seem like a clichéd line, but you can still do good and do well. Someone said, "Oh, it's so interesting that you have a for-profit brain and a nonprofit heart." I do think that nonprofits need to be run smartly and have a very sound financial model.
Do you tap people who can write big checks? Most of our giving is people that have been using the service. In the last year, for example, 46 million people connected on CaringBridge; .3 percent of those help us with financial giving.
What's the average size of a gift? $62. Our budget this year is around $9 million.
So .3 percent of 46 million people give $62, and that's a $9 million budget? Wow, that's amazing. That's Internet math right there. [Laughs.] Hosting is not a trivial task. Security is a premium. We're used around the world.
Security has to be at a premium because these people are at the most vulnerable places in their lives. For every voyeur like me who reads Hope, aren't there a couple guys out there who are looking for lambs to separate from the pack? We haven't had problems with that. But yes, we've had to deal with situations where things that are not to our terms of use are happening. And these communities become very self-policing. Early on, we actually used to do content monitoring and things like that, but we realize that it's the power of the community itself that really provides it.
One of the things that's beautiful about this book is that everybody finds ways of dealing with adversity, whether it's seeing Jesus in the Star Tribune or cutting your hair off and buying a motorcycle. Wouldn't that happen without CaringBridge? The idea of bringing people together in a time of need, or rallying around somebody in need, I'm sure that happened in the caves. That's not a new human kind of relationship. But what CaringBridge is able to do is to use the technology of the day to make it anytime, anywhere, and even more powerful.
Are you still talking to Oprah? Getting there. I'm working on Ellen.

Psychonauts glitches, easter eggs, etc! [spoilers]

I have some more, but im not sure what you would consider an egg, and Im not sure if they have been mentioned before...
In the brain tumbler experiement, once you walk inside the caravan and are trapped inside the egg, sooner or later it occurs to the player that they have to punch there way out. If you wait, Sasha will ask you if you feel trapped, etc, and then will ask you to try punch out a few times. After a few more lines of dialouge he will say 'Hurry Rasputin! This test is costing taxpayers alot of money!"
Also, it is possible to get to the Island that you fight Goggalor on. Even though the ball you hover with is disabled, a good run and jump, along with the boost from the hand trying to grab Rasputin is enough to just make it. It took me about 10 tries, so don't give up! If you climb the tower, then it will play the cutscene from the end of the battle and you will then be transported back to Linda. Even if Rasputin has lost his brain, he will be back in the real world. When you return to the Lungfishopolis level through the Collective unconsciousness, then you will be back on the island and there is no way (that i can see) to return to the rest of the level, so it is important to collect everything before you do this.
Also, i read on another site some funny stuff happens if you play the horn next to Dr Loboto, and some other funny stuff happens if you take Mr Pokeylope to the camp and interact with people while holding him. Unfortunately, my saved games arent anywhere near this events. Can anyone confirm?

The machinations of a Washington sex scandal form the basis of the plot of a new off-Broadway comedy Tail Spin.
Written by gay playwright Mario Correa, Tail Spin follows the scandalous texts of former Florida congressman Mark Foley and former Idaho senator Larry Craig, as well as former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford and former New York congressman Anthony Wiener and uses them as a the basis for a crafty comedy.
Foley resigned in 2006 after his sexually explicit text messages to congressional pages came to light, whilst Craig resigned after being accused of soliciting sex from an undercover police officer in a toilet.
The play will be directed by Tony nominee Dan Knechtges,
Saturday Night Live's Rachel Dratch will reprise her roles from the original staging.

Illicit interiors - Yara has affair with married decorator
Lebanese singer has been sending the gossip mill into overdrive recently!
Never one to shy away from a scandal, reports have been flooding in saying that naughty Yara has been conducting illicit relations with a married man who she hired to paint her house!!
Apparently, Yara hired an interior decorator to redesign her house and more than the painting got done, lets put it that way...
The poor decorator was apparently so infatuated with the Lebanese lovely that he even said he would leave his wife for her, according to Sayidaty.net.
Perhaps one of the reasons we haven't seen Yara on 'the scene' much recently is because of all the drama that this cheeky relationship has had on her professional life.
According to insider reports, Yara's business manager Tareq Abu Judeh is fuming over the affair and has tried to force the singer to end it multiple times.
One of Yara's mates spoke to the press and confirmed the affair, but said that it had ended after the man's mother had "strongly disapproved of the relationship". Oops!
Just as well Yara - he sounds a bit too much like a Mummy's boy to us!
A close source to Yara confirmed that the alleged affair had come to an end, after the interior designer's mother strongly disapproved of the relationship.
