Car crashes. Heart attacks. Random acts
of violence. Back injuries. Cancer.
They're all scary things that
can change your life in an instant and dramatically impact your ability to work
Not to worry. You've got sick leave and 12 weeks of short-term
disability from your employer.
But what if the
doctor says you need a year of intensive physical therapy, or you need to enter
a clinical trial for experimental treatment, or you can't go back to your stress-filled
That's where long-term disability insurance comes in, to protect
most people's most valuable asset -- the ability to earn an income.
bother? Two reasons: Statistically, your chance of being disabled at age 40 is
much higher than your chance of dying. Plus, according to the Department of Housing
and Urban Development, half of all mortgage foreclosures are the result of a disabling
injury or illness.
Yet, the Health Insurance Association of
America says that 60 percent of working adults in the country don't have disability
employers offer coverage The easiest way to get long-term disability
insurance is through your employer. In fact, you may have it and not know it.
If you've never looked at the specifics of your company's disability insurance
(DI) benefit, you should do that. It's important to know what is covered so you
can decide if you want to look into buying additional coverage.
coverage will vary by state and your company's internal policies. You may find
that the long-term coverage is generous and completely underwritten by the company.
If that's the case and you ever have to use it, that income will be taxable.
question to ask your benefits manager is whether the long-term benefit calculation
includes government payments? The policy may assume that you'll qualify for Social
Security disability payments or other government benefits in determining how much
it will pay you if you can't work.
That's cause for concern
because the Social Security definition of disability is very strict. According
to the HIAA, it only kicks in if your disability will last more than 12 months
or lead to death.
Plus, you only get benefits if you can't
perform any job in the national economy, says Dave Evans, vice president of Retirement
and Financial Planning with the Independent Insurance Agents of America. Not your
cushy job sitting at a computer all day. Any job.
not inexpensive coverage, but it's important," Evans says.
conditions for wartime His advice to workers is to read the terms of
their coverage carefully, especially in the wake of the terrorist attacks.
than ever, people need to pay attention," he says. "Almost every policy
will exclude someone's activity if they're called up for military service because
the government has a safety net for those situations. But what happens if I'm
a civilian and I'm injured as the result of some action? Does the policy pay?
"If we're at war with another country and it's black
and white, a lot of policies won't pay. What happens if it's an act of terrorism?
Then it starts to get fuzzy. Most carriers -- life and DI -- say they're going
to pay. In the future, there will be added emphasis on contractual terms."
are some basics you need to understand when looking at a policy, and some things
to look out for:
Benefit amount:
Disability insurance is designed to pay you 60 percent of your income -- enough
to cover the basics, but not enough to encourage people to try to beat the system.
Many policies may offer you the ability to add additional insurance as your income
increases over the years.
Term of benefits:
Your policy may specify that for each disabling incident, it will pay benefits
for a certain period. It could be two years, five years, until retirement, or
for life. Few policies will pay for life because it's designed to be a substitute
for income during your working years and they assume that you'll retire someday
and start getting those benefits. You can lower your premium by taking a lower
term of benefits.
The premium:
Like most types of health and life insurance, the younger you get a policy, the
better deal you'll get on the premium. But there are no simple charts in this
category of insurance like there are for term life insurance. The premium will
depend on a wide array of factors and can vary dramatically from person to person.
It will consider such things as your age, your sex (women pay more for DI because
they tend to live longer, sicklier lives than men), your job (librarian: good;
dynamite handler: bad), your income, your medical history, and your lifestyle,
including the use of tobacco and alcohol.
This term means that once you've been approved, the insurance company can't cancel
your policy unless it decides to stop writing coverage for everyone with your
job classification. It also means they can't ever raise your rates. The best policies
will have this.
Guaranteed renewable:
This term means that you can't be canceled, except if the insurer stops
writing your job category. They can, however, raise the rates for everyone in
the category.
Own occupation vs. any
occupation: This is an important distinction that determines at what point
you're considered disabled and can't work. If it's 'own occupation' coverage,
you're assumed to be disabled when you can't perform the functions of your job.
With 'any occupation' coverage, your coverage won't be triggered until a doctor
declares you're unable to work at any job for which you have been reasonably trained.
Unless you've considered a career change from IT manager to motel front desk clerk
(hey, they both use computers), you want a policy that specifies 'own occupation'
Elimination period:
This is a biggie. In car, homeowner's and health insurance, you can save money
by assuming more of the risk yourself and taking a higher deductible. In DI, the
equivalent is the elimination period. This determines when you start receiving
benefits. No policy will pay benefits in less than 30 days after you've been declared
disabled. From there, it jumps to 60, 90, and 120 days. The longer the elimination
period, the lower the premium. The decision for you is how long you can go without
money coming in. The first check probably won't arrive until 30 days after the
elimination period starts. For instance, if you have a 30-day elimination period,
your benefits don't start to add up until you've been disabled for a month. You'll
get your first payment a month later, so that's two months without a paycheck.
benefits: Some policies may offer you 'residual benefits.' That's basically
a partial payment if you're less than 100 percent disabled, but still can't perform
all the duties of your job.
riders: Evans says that insurance carriers
are doing more these days in the area of benefits for rehabilitation and job retraining.
(It makes sense -- the faster they get you back on the job, the sooner they can
stop paying benefits.) Ask whether the policy includes a rehabilitation rider.
these issues, you'll want to see if you're eligible under any other disability
benefits, such as worker's compensation for an on-the-job injury, veteran's benefits,
or Social Security. If you have a claim, it's important to file it as soon as
possible because that starts the clock for the elimination period.

Attention must be paid to Arthur Miller's original title for his American tragedy: The Inside of His Head. Miller describes his intent: "The Salesman image was from the beginning absorbed with the concept that nothing in life comes 'next,' but that everything exists together and at the same time within us; there is no past to be 'brought forward' in a human being, but that he is his past at every moment." This expands on the 21st century's obsession with the "here and now" to understand that our memories and even our future dreams are always present; brain science can confirm that the brain houses all these causes and conditions, and access is always key. New Yorker writer Roger Angell calls this "the white-coated attendant of memory, silently here again to deliver dabs from the laboratory dish of me." However, in Death of a Salesman, the dabs continue to enlarge until they fill the landscape so much, that Willie Loman's family cannot comprehend who Willie is addressing.
So why did Miller change the title of the play and what was the title Death of a Salesman supposed to encapsulate? His friends were quick to criticize the original title as not serious enough. But the eventual title was definitely what reviewers call a "spoiler." Even Miller's original producer was loathe to back a show with "death" advertised in lights. The "spoiler" gives away the ending, and thus took the plot out of the American story-telling mode; it could never be a thriller, or a mystery with a proper denouement. However, it did raise the play to the stature of a tragedy, much like the Greek tragedies of old, which were all variations on a well-known mythic story from the current heritage. Everyone, of course, knew that Oedipus married his mother and would be blinded. And everyone, even today, knows the trajectory of a beaten man, whose dreams, never come to fruition. The vagaries of our society with its business goal of planned obsolescence sadly include classes of workers, and in this case, salesmen, where Willie's ideal of "well-liked" become irrelevant. His infatuation with success and self-absorption blinded him to how he broke his eldest son's heart, how he misled him to worship the same gods as the father, and how his values were childishly arrested at that young age when his own father abandoned the family. His older brother Ben, fictional or not, became the ideal of a man who walked into the forest as a teenager and walked out "a rich man."
Miller wrote this timeless story 65 years ago when the 1941 novel What Makes Sammy Run by Budd Schulberg became a wildly popular radio show, a TV series, and a popular Broadway play. Ruthless success marked Sammy's life and was a sharp contrast to Willie's fate, even though there may have been many successful years. In the talk back after the performance, the current economic climate was discussed with examples of older workers being terminated. The bottom line, as business calls it, still rules and always will, with employee cutbacks as a straight path to more profits. Today many people are not even looking for work, wit the situation of retraining and elder prejudice fostering this environment. Charles Isherwood, in a New York Times review of last year's Broadway production starring the ill-fated late Philip Seymour Hoffman, described the monumental significance in what has been called the greatest American play of all time. He wrote that "Death of a Salesman remains a touchstone work of American drama that speaks as powerfully to readers and viewers today as it did to audiences in 1949, when Miller's dissection of the moral rot at the heart of an average American family left audiences stunned by the force of its perceptions."
So the play is not about telling just another story it's about the process of decline that lacks awareness of the building blocks of life and the misguided false values that plague our debt-ridden culture. When someone analyzed Willie as fixated childishly at the age of abandonment, a psychologist whispered that this psycho-babel sidesteps the deeper reflections on the American cultural ambience, the makeup of family, the morality and immorality of the times, and the real deep matters of the soul to which "Attention must be paid." This line by Linda Loman and others, like being "free and clear" raise the profound issues of which matters need attention and how does one's soul attain this state of consciousness.
Ken Baltin's Willie Loman was, in the words of one white-haired theatre buff who saw the 1949 production, "better than Lee J. Cobb," who played the original Willie Loman. Baltin, was, in his opinion, deeper, and more heart felt. Sometimes tyrannical, playful, lonely, whining in his wife's lap, and humiliated, Baltin enacts the face of denial and irresponsibility, which underlines the pathos of a man whose dignity has become obsolete, as obsolete as the idea of a "company man."
Willie's wife Linda, played by Paula Plum, embodies her lines with more dignity as Willie loses his. She sings to him, dresses him, and mothers him through his disillusion and distress. As the rock of a dysfunctional family, this stay at home mom and wife wraps her life around her husband and boys, whose arrested development saddens her. Her final lines of the play, said with amazing pace and character brought tears to many eyes.
Kelby Akin's breathless and wordless heartache during Biff's surprise revelation at his father Willie's betrayal, resonated through the theatre. Everyone has known this moment in life, and those moments were palpable and present. Joseph Marrella added a swagger as the younger brother and womanizer Happy, which was an exaggerated contrast to the character's childhood seeking constant approval. Larry Coen's good hearted Charley, sometimes cynical and sometimes jovial, demonstrated how he paid attention to investing the lasting values that fathered the understated success of his son Bernard. Victor Shopov's performance underlined the contrast between the confident adult and the teenage nerd so well, that the adult Bernard seemed like a different character.The mythical Uncle Ben, who marched through Willie's consciousness at key moments was deftly played by Will McGarrahan with a straight back and real confidence. Howard, the boss's son, who ultimately fired Willie, portrayed gracefully by Omar Robinson, demonstrated some deft directorial irony, having an African American actor call a 60 year old white guy "kid."
Spiro Veloudos staged a stunning contemporary version of an old play with a universal theme. His collaboration with composer Dewey Dellay added a poignancy and pathos that underlined the salient emotions in each scene. This alone is worth the price of admission.
The play runs through March 15, 2014. Call the Lyric Stage Company of Boston at 617-585-5678, or go to the website at http://www.lyricstage.com before tickets sell out.

Heat Exchangers
Automotive Applications
The barrier properties and heat reflectivity of aluminium foil are widely used in building panels adding to the insulation performance of modern building systems. Aluminium foil is also used as a skin for heat-insulating and incombustible materials to provide high performance insulation for pipework and ducting. The adhesive tape used to secure the laminated material is also based on aluminium foil for its reflective surface, corrosion-resistance and long life.
In electrical cables, aluminium foil helps to give long-term insulation against moisture and attack from naturally occurring corrosive elements found above and below the ground.
Aluminium foil also acts as an insulator against the magnetic and radio frequency emissions associated with electrical cables. As a sheath for fibre-optic cables, aluminium foil uses its electrical conductivity to act as a 'tracer' to enable testing of the integrity of cable links - as well as helping to provide the long term protection every cable needs.
In 'fire walls' for vehicles and fire-proof doors and building panels, aluminium foil stops access to the oxygen required to support flames.
Aluminium has, over the past few years, virtually replaced copper as the preferred metal for use in heat exchangers. Aluminium alloys offer excellent heat conductivity combined with much less weight, which is very important in every automotive situation. Considerable development work on alloys, brazing and other joining methods as well as the introduction of 'clad' materials combining strength with ease of joining have brought success for aluminium.
The special alloys used are supplied to manufacturers of heat-exchange units in a wide variety of thicknesses and widths. Starting at 50µm the foil material goes up to a thickness of 250µm (a little over the strict 'foil' thickness designation). Brazing strip used in heat exchangers is a similar, but thicker material with thicknesses rising to 2mm.
Aluminium foil has enabled car manufacturers to save considerably on the weight of a car's radiator. This, in turn, saves on the fuel demands of the vehicle, so reducing emissions. The air conditioning now standard equipment in most passenger cars also uses aluminium foil for the heat exchanger finning.
It is not just in cars that aluminium heat exchangers are to be found - everywhere that heating or cooling is necessary. In the air conditioning of shops and offices, theatres, ships, refrigerated trucks, trains and so on, there is a place for the economy and efficiency the aluminium foil-finned heat exchange unit.
Aluminium foil is also increasingly important in automotive components such as impact energy absorption structures and in catalytic converters. Favoured over steel because of better corrosion resistance and weight economy, special aluminium alloys provide the physical properties required in these aluminium foil applications.

I have been looking at other peoples Migraine Art and am amazed by the power in a single image. Now, I have never considered myself to be creative on any level (cooking maybe)!
I am saddened by being unable to appropriately express the varied journey that my migraines have taken me on – until now.
A few weeks ago I attended a focusing group and we did a collage. Yes, that's it above. I thought nothing of cutting out some pretty pictures and picking some inspiring and empowering words.
I wanted to do play school all over again. Surprisingly, the end result is that I have been processing this collage for a month now!
What strikes me is how perfect it turned out! Here are some of the words if you can't quite see them:
Escape to good health
Effortless FREEDOM
Managing Anxiety is a big one – literally!
Making your home chemical free
Get more energy – yoga and lifting weights.
There is small book in the corner titled "Healing without Freud or Prozac" by Dr. David Servan-Schreiber.
And most importantly the Shhhhhh SECRET!
Right on the top and in the middle getting the most attention.
That's the part that has been making me cry.
Pain is a secret part of my life -
really! No one knows exactly what you go through......no one! No two migraines are the same. So they say.
I read recently that migraine has become like a generic term used for headache. And I remember thinking – headache IS NOT migraine. Its something else all together. An individual can function with a headache and two Panadol! A migraine is a life altering condition that needs medication and other lifestyle changes.
Ok enough about me.....it's time to submit your migraine inspired art!
By telling your story, others will be able to benefit from your contribution. And hopefully it will encourage other migraineurs to find a creative outlet, to express the horrors or perhaps even fun hallucinations that come from this part of our lives.

by Youtube - beekman33, 2007 (OUCH!)
by Youtube - vitamint73, 2007
Here's a little outline that you can consider to use for your submission. These are just some ideas, to inspire what you might like to write:
What kind of migraine are you diagnosed with?
How long have you had migraines?
How often do you have them?
On a scale of 1-10 what would you rate them? (mine are 200!)
Do you remember your first one?
How do they affect your life now?
What you have learned from having migraines in your life?
And then of course, the story behind your picture.....if it's not related to your migraine that's good – we are more than our migraines!!!!
At least 150 words would be great. I will have to edit the page anyway, just so you know. Please use words to describe your pain and not expletives as an opportunity to learn how to express ourselves more appropriately through Migraine Art instead!

Sims 3 isn't about creature events, or lore, but about the families and the lives you lead. Dragons would completely skew the game and for some ruin it completely(those who prefer realism).
iheartjackie wrote: Feather Wing eggs should be found randomly in sculpting stone and might turn into Woohooium if the egg is not properly cared for. Or you might find it from making out or woohooing in rabbit holes.
iheartjackie wrote: I think it would be neat if perhaps once in a while a dragon comes and attacks your home, whether just to spite or to steal its egg back. It would happen very rarely, probably as often as the giant meteor from Ambitions (pre-Generations, as I've heard meteors chances have increased). You can stop the dragon, if you give it its egg back. Giving it food will only make it come back again, but over time, you might befriend it and be able to adopt it if it isn't too mean.
Mean or evil dragons whom continually come to your house will expect an offering each time. These dragons are called wyverns and you will never befriend, but perhaps they might leave the occasional scale behind, which can be sold for a high price, used as decorations, or even crafted together to make realistic dragon toys for your children or pet dragons, clothes, or even furniture and decorative items.
iheartjackie wrote:It would also be neat to have dragon gnomes. They also hatch from eggs, but these are decorative and can be purchased from the Buy Menu (as eggs). Only if you have a dragon will this egg ever hatch into a gnome dragon, though this happens very rarely. Depending on the type of dragon you have, the gnome dragon will "hatch" into a specific color of the species you have. (If you have more than one species on lot, then it will each copy the most numerous or be chosen at random.) With Generations installed and two gnome dragons on your lot, you might get an egg or two every so many Sim weeks. Careful, though, because if your dragons on lot are not happy, the gnome dragons might spontaneously EXPLODE and cause a fire!

They're the size of a large housecat and have very small wings that let them glide rather than fly. Its abilities should be able to play instruments and "sing" (which would be like deep, throaty humming to Sims' ears). Breed trait is, of course, Virtuoso. Common locations should be around places either where music is played often or the theater, but can only be found by Sims who have at least six points in any musical talent (in case they even include Singing, which would be great).

So let's say you got a red egg, then a pop-up might say "That egg is warm, but it's getting cold. Maybe you should put it in a warm place? How about the fire?" As such the egg might go in the oven or somewhere else warm.

College Hockey:Michigan, Notre Dame Anointed As CCHA Favorites
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — For the third straight year, the coaches and media disagreed over who should hold down the No. 1 position in the CCHA's annual preseason polls. The conference's 12 head coaches ranked Notre Dame first while the media voted for defending regular-season and playoff champion Michigan.
In the coaches poll, the Irish took eight of a possible 11 first-place votes, two seconds and one third. Michigan received three of the remaining first-place votes as well as 43 number-one tallies in the media poll, earning the Wolverines the top ranking there. Miami, Michigan State and Northern Michigan filled out the third, fourth and fifth-place slots in both polls.
The RedHawks garnered the only other first-place ballot among the coaches while all three teams received first-place votes from the media.
The Irish, coming off their first appearance in an NCAA championship game, have 18 returning letterwinners including starting goaltender Jordan Pearce along with four defensemen and 11 forwards including impact players Erik Condra, Ryan Thang, Kyle Lawson and Ian Cole. Condra, a 2006 draft pick of the Ottawa Senators, and Lawson, a 2005 draft pick of the Carolina Hurricanes, are CCHA Preseason All-Conference First Team selections, and Pearce was honored as the RBK Best Goaltender award winner last season. Notre Dame is returning eight of its top 10 scorers from last season in coach Jeff Jackson's fourth season behind the bench.
The Wolverines bring back 21 players, tied for most in the CCHA with Bowling Green, including all seven defensemen from a squad that won 33 games last season while capturing CCHA regular-season and tournament titles. Michigan is backstopped by senior goaltender Billy Sauer, who had a 30-4-3 record with a 1.95 goals-against average and .924 save percentage last year. Michigan is led offensively by sophomore Aaron Palushaj, who had 44 points, along with five other returning Wolverines who broke the 20 point barrier.
The RedHawks have 15 lettermen back, including a pair of 40-point scorers from last season, senior forward Justin Mercier and sophomore forward Carter Camper. Michigan State will be led by senior captain and goaltender Jeff Lerg, who has been named to the CCHA Preseason All-Conference First Team for three straight seasons. The Wildcats bring back 10 of their top 12 point producers from last season and look to finish in the top three for the first time since 2004-05.
A record 83 members of the media ranked the 12 CCHA teams in projected order of finish for the regular season. Points were awarded on a 12-11-10-9, etc., basis. League coaches ranked the CCHA teams, excluding their own school, in the order they predicted the regular season will end.
CCHA Preseason Coaches Poll
1. Notre Dame (8) 128
2. Michigan (3) 122
3. Miami (1) 108

A Fond Farewell to Orablogs
By oracletechnet on Jan 23, 2008
Sorry to say it but according to its guardian, Brian Duff, the Orablogs aggregator is on its way to the scrap heap.
Orablogs was the first Oracle-centric blog aggregator of which I am aware, and in fact initially served as a blogging platform for Oracle employees as well. (My first Oracle blog was based there.)
Certainly there are plenty of alternatives available today, but Orablogs was instrumental in jump-starting - providing the "Big Bang", as it were - for the Oracle blogger community.
Brian and Orablogs, many thanks for your service.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The Original Gerber Baby, Ann Turner Cook, today welcomed the news face of Gerber, Mary Jane Montoya. Ann Turner Cook, now 85, tells news that she was honored to welcome her replacement, after decades. In 1928, Gerber did a national search to find the face of its baby products. They chose Cook. Soon her image became the face of all the company's products. But now a change is place for the company's products.
The Tampa resident tells news how a family friend encouraged her mother to promote her at a young age. Cook says family friend Dorothy Hope Smith encouraged her mother to enter Ann in modeling competitions in 1927. A year later, Gerber launched a national search and selected Cook as the winner. It wasn't until three years later that Gerber saw the need to protect Cook's image and got trademark protection for the likeness.
Cook later became an English teacher. But she tells the Today show this week "It's been wonderful to me to be the symbol for babies and I've become a symbol worldwide for babies. I can always be very proud of the product
Now Mary Jane Montoy, 8 months old from Fresno, has been selected as the new face of the product. Mary Jane beat out three hundred thousand competitors. Her mother tells news "It took a little while to get that picture, too, because she would not stop looking at the grass and looking at the birds. Of course we think our baby is adorable and beautiful, but every parent sees that in their child."

Home Hitachi Tools – Hitachi 14.4 Volt Cordless Drill Kit
by Wallabee
Home Hitachi Tools – Hitachi 14.4 Volt Cordless Drill Kit
I just wanted to tell everyone how much I like the Hitachi Cordless 14.4-volt Driver Drill Kit with Flashlight. I purchased mine several years ago and use it all the time. That is a testimony to its' rugged construction and durability. I am retired now from working in a Diesel Repair Body Shop, now I have my own Carpentry Shop and I purchased that Home Hitachi Tool because of the lightweight (3.3 lbs), well balanced, ergonomic, fatigue reducing design with little vibration. Although most of my tools were pneumatic and heavy there are many tight places that those tools would not fit.
The flexibility of this Hitachi Cordless 14.4-volt Driver Drill Kit with Flashlight made that chore easy. The 3/8″ key-less chuck is also very handy for quick changing of the bits, making less unnecessary ups and downs for bits to do the job more efficiently. Another great feature is the 22-position clutch you can set for exactly the correct screw depth to be sure you won't damage the part or wood product.
The Hitachi Cordless 14.4-volt Driver Drill Kit with Flashlight has a class-leading 230 in/lbs torque.
Its' two-speed transmission has an easy to use one-touch speed knob for tougher jobs that require more torque from 0-350 or 0-1050 rpm. The Batteries seem to last along time, of course the harder the job the sooner it runs down but I'm quite please with the amount of work I can get done before I have to change out the battery.
The Flashlight that comes with this kit proved also to be a great addition to my tool chest. It has several positions the light can be set to make the angle of light just right.
This Home Hitachi Tool kit comes with 2-1.4 Ah Batteries and Quick Charger, 1-Driver Bit, 7-pc Bit set and Carrying Case.
I highly recommend this Home Hitachi Tool for home or business.
Leroy Leff is a good resource to ask about the Hitachi 14.4 Volt Cordless Drill Kit.

Lisa Vanderpump showed Mario Lopez a few of her new moves while wearing a pair of bright, stunning pink Casadei Studded Heel Platform Pumps on the set of Extra. In case you're not a serial Bravo fan, Lisa is the star of Real Housewife of Beverly Hills, as well as the spin-off Vanderpump Rules – so yes, she's primarily famous for being rich and having excellent taste in the highest of high-end designer fashion. I'm not really sure Lisa even lets something touch her body if it's not worth over a $1K. Case in point, you can purchase a pair of these bold studded heels for $1,300 at Neiman Marcus.
Lisa's just recently been added as a new cast member on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars – not a bad gig, if you can get it. She and her pricey pumps were giving Extra a little face time to promote the show, which is now in its 16th season.

Hey, hey C.J.! Wilcox Is Staying With The Huskies
The junior leading scorer and team MVP announces he will return to UW for a fifth, senior season rather than enter the NBA draft. His return makes the re-loaded, 2013-14 Huskies that much more potent.
The Passing Of A True Washington Legend, Marv Harshman
The former coach at UW, WSU, Pacific Lutheran and four-sport athlete at PLU dies at the age of 95. He was a giant in our state, as tall and enduring and recognizable as an evergreen.
UW-BYU Have NIT History
The No. 6 seed Huskies will play the No. 3 seed Cougars on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. PT in the Marriott Center.
UW Men Tip Off 111th Season On Sunday
Washington will face Loyola-Maryland on Sunday at 5:00 p.m. (Pac-12 TV Net) in Alaska Airlines Arena.
Lamont Smith Joins Romar's Staff
Smith worked as a graduate assistant for Lorenzo Romar at Saint Louis in 1999-2001.
Highlights from 11-12
Terrence Ross Dunk
Paul Fortier, an All-Pac-10 forward with the Huskies in 1986, is in his eighth season at Washington, his first as the Director of Player Personnel and Player Development, after spending his first seven years as an assistant coach.
He will help mentor and teach current Huskies, plus have a vital role in maintaining a high standard of recruiting practices in his new role.
"Paul brings a lot of value to our program and he will excel in his role as the Director of Player Personnel and Player Development. He will be vital in ensuring that Washington remains one of the top programs in the nation."
He has helped the development of Husky forwards and centers over his tenure. Among his pupils are center Spencer Hawes, the 10th pick in the 2007 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings and Jon Brockman, a second round pick of the Kings in 2009. More recently he helped groom Quincy Pondexter, a 2010 first round pick of the Oklahoma Thunder (traded to the New Orleans Hornets) and Matthew Bryan-Amaning, a first-team All-Pac-10 selection and the 2011 Pac-10 Most Improved Player.
Fortier has helped the Huskies to four NCAA appearances in his seven seasons, including Sweet 16 showings in 2006 and 2010. Washington has amassed three 25-plus win seasons with Fortier as an assistant.
He worked as a UW team manager during the 2003 season while completing his psychology degree.
Fortier served two years as an assistant at Cornell on Coach Steve Donahue's staff. The Big Red improved their record in both of Fortier's seasons.
Cornell posted an 11-16 record and a 6-8 Ivy League mark during 2004 in Fortier's first season. He tutored the post players, helping Cornell lead the league in rebounding and improve from a minus-3.0 to plus-2.3 margin.
In 2004-05, the Big Red registered a 13-14 overall record. Cornell was 8-6 in conference play, earning its highest Ivy finish in 17 years with a second-place effort. The Big Red swept Princeton for the first time in 20 years.
Fortier brings extensive playing and teaching experience to his new UW post.
After a tremendous collegiate career at UW, Fortier was selected by the Washington Bullets in the fifth round of the 1986 NBA Draft, the 104th pick overall. He was a standout in the European professional ranks, including stints in the top leagues of Italy, France, Spain and Greece. Fortier participated in the French All-Star Game in both 1997 and 1998 and was a member of the French Cup-winning Cholet squad in 1998 and 1999.
In 17 years playing in Europe, Fortier averaged better than 15 points per game 13 times. His top statistical season was 1995-96 with Le Mans (France) when he recorded averages of 21.5 points and 10.2 rebounds.
Just as important as his work on the court was his leadership off the court. Fortier served as a mentor to young American players overseas. He also worked at various camps, sharing his professional experiences.
Fortier lettered four years at Washington, from 1983-86. He started his final three seasons, helping the Huskies earn NCAA Tournament berths each time. Fortier served as team captain his final year during which he averaged 14.8 points and 7.2 rebounds. He still ranks 14th among all-time Huskies with 1,326 career points.
A product of St. Ignatius (Calif.) College Prep in San Francisco, Fortier averaged 20 points and 11.5 rebounds in 1982 during his senior season of high school. He garnered All-Northern California honors as well as honorable mention prep All-America acclaim.
Fortier and his wife, Elizabeth, have two daughters, Kassia and Marissa. Kassia will be a junior on the 2012-13 UW women's basketball team.

Boy Scouts from all over the Denver Area are invited to help set a Guinness World Record on Saturday, March 19. On that date, the Colorado Spatial Reference Network and the Colorado Department of Transportation will participate in the First Annual Simultaneous Global Positioning System Survey.
This event is part of an attempt to set a record for the most simultaneous GPS recording/observations in all 50 United States. Information gathered by the Scouts is recorded in a database to improve published benchmark information.
The Scouts will record benchmark AE5353 located near the Colorado Department of Transportation facility at 4201 E Arkansas Ave in Denver, Colorado. The event begins at 10:30 AM.
Benchmarking is a variation of geocaching where cachers find metal disks permanently affixed to a solid, stable surface. Benchmarks are used by surveyors, engineers, map makers, and other professionals who need a highly accurate positional reference for their work.
There is also a geocache nearby named 'The Lost Art of Benchmarking (Denver Area #12)' that is available to add to your geocaching experience.
The event organizers will also have a display of GPS equipment and a handleld GPS navigation course for Scouts to attempt.
It is recommended to bring your own GPS receiver as there will be a very limited number available to borrow.
Come and be part of the world record experience.

Japan Trench Fast Drilling Project - Understanding the Devastating Tsunami 2011
Japan Trench Fast Drilling Project (JFAST)
-Importance for Understanding the Devastating Tsunami from the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake-
The Deep-Sea Scientific Drilling Vessel Chikyu, operated by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), will embark on Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 343 Japan Trench Fast Drilling Project (JFAST), from 1 April to 24 May 2012.
The main goal of the JFAST project is to understand the very large fault slip that occurred on the shallow portion of the subuction zone during the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. This large slip of 30 to 50 meters was the main source of the devastating tsunami that caused so much damage and loss of lives along the northeast coast of Honshu, Japan. Understanding the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami has obvious consequences for evaluating the hazards at other subduction zones around the world.
Dr. James J. Mori and Dr. Frederick M. Chester, Co-Chiefs of this expedition, sent special comments on this expedition:
"The 2011 Tohoku earthquake shocked the people of Japan, as well as earthquake experts, because of the huge tsunami that caused so much damage and took so many lives. The seismological, geological, and ocean science communities have a clear obligation to learn and explain as much as possible about this event. The earthquake occurred in the sub-seafloor, which is the realm of IODP research, so its scientists should be leading these important investigations" (Dr. Mori)
"I acknowledge the importance and engineering difficulty of IODP Expedition 343. Through cooperation between ship-board scientists, on-shore advisors, and the ship operators and drillers, I am confident that we can achieve the science goals of the expedition. I believe that the knowledge gained from this expedition will someday help mitigate hazards of future earthquakes and tsunamis." (Dr. Chester)

On the motorola Droid X there is a favorite contacts shortcut. I'd like to add this on another screen but I can't figure out how to create a new one. Any ideas?
while all of the above is true, you can simply click menu -> add -> shortcut -> dialer -> favorites to recreate the shortcut if you accidenatlly delete it. that is if you are talking about the little red icon with the star that takes you to the favorites tab in the dialer.
Some widgets might only be able to be placed once. If you only want one instance of it, but on another screen, just long click (click on the widget and keep your click/pressure on it or keep your finger pressed to the screen) till you have control of it. On my Android device I feel a vibrate and the widget shakes on the screen. Then just move it where ever you want. To go to another screen hold the widget to the edge of that screen and you should be on the the next screen.
Another tip that might be easier than moving apps and widgets on homescreens, just long click on them till you have control and remove them by dragging to the bottom of the screen. Then go to the screen you want and add it. Long click on an empty space of the homescreen and choose "widgets" then find your widget and add it.
Update: So at the very top of my widget list is something that says, "Get more HTC widgets". You could see if you have that. Not sure if Motorola has their own option there or not.
Also try looking at your widget list and then see if you have "Contacts" or "People". On my phone I have "People" and that allows me to add one of those favorite listings for my contacts.

Hanley Ramirez finally breaking out of slump
(posted by Ted Hutton)
So far in his 11-game reign, the best move Jack McKeon has made is moving Hanley Ramirez to the cleanup spot.
Here are the numbers to back up this assessment: In the 55 games before the move, Ramirez was hitting .200 with four home runs and 17 RBI.
In the 10 games since he has been hitting fourth, Ramirez is hitting .385 with three home runs and 12 RBI.
That includes going 3-for-5 Friday with two home runs, including a grand slam, and 5 RBI.
That helped the Marlins beat Texas 9-5 for their third win in four games.
Not to be outdone by Ramirez's bat, McKeon was on his game after the game.
Nothing incenses McKeon more than a pitcher walking someone.
And two youngsters got to learn that first hand.
First was Hand, Brad that it, who was staked to a 6-2 lead but then gave up solo home runs to Ian Kinsler and Josh Hamilton in the third and then walked two of the first three Rangers he faced in the fourth.
That was all McKeon could take, and he didn't even send pitching coach Randy St. Claire out for a chat first. McKeon came out and sent Hand to the showers, and had this to say after the game…
"You saw me get hand out of there, didn't you? You think I am going to sit there and say, 'We are developing him?' I am not here to develop, I am here to win."
McKeon gave the ball to rookie Steve Cishek, who ran into his problems in the fifth, when he walked Elvis Andrus to lead off the inning, and then gave up a two run home run to Josh Hamilton.
Again, McKeon went to the mound before St. Claire, and he lit into Cischek, with his 80-year-old arms flailing around as he got into his face.
"I wasn't telling him I had reservations at some restaurant," McKeon said about his conversation with Cishek. "When I go out to the mound, it is not a pleasant visit."
"He got into me pretty good," Cishek said about the visit. "He was pretty intense. That fired me up, that is for sure."
Cishek settled down and got the win, his first in the majors.
On to Sunday, when the Marlins can take their second straight series with a win.

HTC One S headed to Rogers, will cost $149.99 with 3-year contract
After having released the HTC One X in April, Rogers is now ready to launch the HTC One S at some point in the near future. At least that's what a listing from Future Shop seems to indicate.
It would certainly be great for those of you who have Rogers as your carrier to get access to HTC's upper-midrange Android-powered offering alongside its flagship sibling.
While we don't yet know when Rogers will in fact have the One S in its stores, we can tell you how much it's going to cost: $149.99 with a new three-year contract. Prices for other contract terms as well as sans contract aren't available just yet. But they'll probably get leaked in due course, so stay tuned.
