The Heart of Collecting
Published Feb 10, 2006 - (Updated Dec 19, 2012)
Vallarta is amassing an impressive collection of art collectors, and "Lifestyles" has interviewed a number of them for previous articles. The collectors featured in this issue let their interests take them far afield, and the galleries – Dante, Corsica, Pacifico, Arte Latinoamericano, Omar Alonso and T. Fuller Pentecost – have been generous in providing names of clients who buy from many other places besides their own. As Vallarta the metropolis grows, so does its reputation as an "artropolis." Works by Mexican and non-Mexican artists alike are gaining visibility worldwide, as collectors, like migrating birds, drop the seeds of artwork into international fields.
The collectors themselves, like artists, do not fit into any one category. For most of them, the inspiration and desire to collect began in childhood. That desire grew across all boundaries and covers all cultures, ages, lifestyles and perspectives. And the keynotes are a passion for the work of passionate artists, the sensations that are drawn forth by the finished process and, as collector Walter Haas puts it, "the curiosity that keeps us alive and growing."
Our only regret is that there is not enough space to express the depth and richness of each interview, nor can we do service to the many more collectors who acquire work in Vallarta to take home to other countries – people such as Linda and Steven Krensky of Baltimore, who enjoy fame among the galleries for their prodigious appreciation of Mexican art.
Steve Tober
Retired schoolteacher Steve Tober remembers the first things he collected as a young boy: a totem pole and the bottom half of an Egyptian statue, purchased from the Brooklyn Museum for a dollar a piece. The next major thing he acquired was a painting of a crucifixion scene when he was first married. As he told his young bride, nearly dragging her from the subway station to the gallery, "I really want this painting – it can be my birthday, wedding and anniversary present." The painting, on prominent display in their New York apartment, caused great consternation at the first gathering of their Jewish families, thereby upholding the precept that art provokes great emotion. Did Steve bow to family pressure? Well, he still owns the painting many years after that memorable occasion.
Steve hosts an eclectic mix of work in his Vallarta condominium, as he does in his apartment in New York. Represented are Rogelio Diaz, Bill Megrail, Luis Espiridión, Guillermo Gómez, Oscar and daughter Ali Zamarippa, Alfredo Langarica, Israel Zzepda and Sergio Garval.
Steve remembers an opening at Galleria Dante, when he circled a sculpture of two torsos by Luis Espiridión, haunted by something about it. He had been all set to purchase a painting by another artist, but kept coming back to the sculpture. After circling around it both literally and figuratively, he said to Luis, "This sculpture reminds me of the Twin Towers in New York."
"Yes!" exclaimed Luis, "That is exactly what it is – my memorial to the Towers."
And home with Steve went the sculpture.
Most of the work in Steve's collection reflects a whimsical side to his nature, and Steve enjoys hearing the stories behind the work: what was the inspiration, the occasion, the motivation. If the artist can't or won't say what the story might be, Steve makes up his own version.
Barbara & Larry Greenberg
Barbara and Larry Greenberg remember Vallarta when it was a town of 24,000 inhabitants. That was 30 years ago, when they made their first art purchase, an original signed lithograph by Manuel Lepe, and they credit the late artist for the start of the art scene in Vallarta. They have enormous respect for Marta Gilbert, represented at Galeria Arte LatinoAmericano, and her paintings grace the walls of their home in the United States as well as their condominium in Vallarta. For them, it is, as Barbara says, "like having a bit of Mexico in Ohio."
Their early enthusiasm for color was inspired by Gilbert's work, and they painted their condo in the same vibrant colors as those of her palette. These days, they prefer the soft, deep, neutral tones that complement the variety of work strategically placed around the condominium.
Gilbert's painting, "Las Cuatro Marias," holds court as the centerpiece of their eclectic collection. Adjoining walls feature work by Yolanda Maroquin and Tellosa. They have a number of Billy Moon sculptures and tables – one table, glass top included, costing more to ship to Ohio than the piece itself. There is a pair of vibrant paintings featuring zebras and giraffes done by Regina, one of the artists represented by Debra La Costa. At Debra's gallery, one can commission work from artists who will create a painting to order. Barbara's own work adorns the walls, and she finds that her own process as a painter helps her to better appreciate the work of artists.
The Greenbergs don't believe in buying art for investment, and their advice to new collectors is "Don't worry about making mistakes – just hang in there anyway."
The all-encompassing advice we got from the collectors is best summed up by Ted Pentecost, "Buy from the heart and don't feel bad about not being able to afford the Mona Lisa. Understand yourself, know your pocketbook and look. In the words of photographer Lee Friedlander, 'What you see is what you get.'"
Gerald & Shelley Rapp
Gerald and Shelley Rapp got their start at collecting as a young married couple living in Rochester, New York. Clocks were their early passion, and they once attempted to synchronize 13 of them to chime at the same time. The clocks, however, defied organization; and we leave you to image the result.
From time to time, they have made the necessary, but painful, decision to rollover some of their collection. As difficult as the decision was to make, in 2004 they put up their collection of clocks and some of the pieces of folk art for auction. As Shelley says, "It still hurts."
Since Gerald worked for many years as an agent for illustrators, they prefer to collect objects, although they do own a number of paintings, such as "La Buenona" by Alfredo Langarica. They have playfully juxtaposed the bottom half of an antique torso next to the painting, which features the top half of a torso.
Their home in Vallarta reflects their enchantment with Old Mexico. Built in the Liz Taylor-Richard Burton era, the house reflects the romantic charm of brick and rustic tile – not for them the polished granite countertops and slick marble floors of contemporary architecture. They buy primitive antique furniture to house and complement the antique Santos, cigar store figures, folk art masks and Spanish angels of the eighteenth century they buy in such places as San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, often stopping to "shop on the road." Currently, some of the bedrooms of the house feature old Mexican movie posters from the '50s that Gerald found on eBay, and those will gradually be replaced by paintings and objects as they discover them. They prefer to let the rooms themselves guide them to whatever new works will feel like home.
Similar in their tastes for primitive and folk art, of the two, Shelley's is the voice of reason that keeps the collection to a manageable size, although, as she says with a laugh, "I give in a lot."
Ted Pentecost
Ted Pentecost's introduction into the art world was through the first art history class he ever took, while stationed in the military at Moffat Field. He credits his eye for art to the teacher, who encouraged him to really look at what he was seeing. As he claims, "She gave me eyes to see and understand."
Initially, Ted's taste ran to the conservative – and to the limits of what a military paycheck could reach. With that, and the words of his teacher ringing in his ears, he bought art posters and work purchased at charity auctions. One of his first memorable purchases was acquired at such a benefit in 1971, and he is as proud of that colored pencil sketch done by a child as he is of his other fine works of art.
He also owns a condominium in Texas, where he enjoys working with the Museum of Fine Art of Houston, promoting young Mexican artists. Thanks largely to his efforts, the museum added a number of Mexican ceramics to their permanent collection. Ted believes it is important to understand the history and culture that gives birth to each art piece. As he says, "To separate a painting or any piece out from its history and culture is to do oneself and the work a disservice."
Ted's extensive personal collection includes works by Tellosa, Capelo, Oscar Zamarripa, minimalist painter Chad Buck, Davis Birks' provoking canvases, the ceramics of Manuel Morales, copper from Aldon Ponzo and a work by Anatoly Krasnyanky, one-time leader of the Union of Soviet Union Painters, who defected to the USA in the '70s.
We were intrigued by the paintings and mixed media sculptural work of 76-year-old Lacy Hedrick, who made the transition from painting to three-dimensional works as he began losing his eyesight. Hedrick now works entirely by touch, and the results are beautiful and lyrical.
Larry Sheldon & Len Greenough
Len Greenough and Larry Sheldon bought their original condo four years ago and settled here permanently after three years of regular commuting between Vallarta and Atlanta.
When they chose to build a new house, Len says, "We decided that since we've got a blank slate, let's do it as eclectic as possible." Each piece they own will have its special place in the new house, including work they are bringing from Atlanta. They are looking forward to bringing home a Sergio Bustamante piece, a smaller version of "In Search of Reason," the intriguing sculpture on the Malecon of spirits climbing a ladder to the heavens. They are equally eager to place one of Jorge Marin's sculptures, for which they redesigned the staircase in the house, and a Bustamante ceramic, "Sol Endemoniado."
Len relates an interesting story about the piece. In a painful lesson about the effects of humidity, they returned to Vallarta after one summer to find their first copy of "Sol Endemoniado," number 13/100, lying "smashed to smithereens" and spread over the floor. "We went back to the Bustamante gallery and consider ourselves lucky to have found this copy, which is number 1/100. He was way back in a corner on the second floor, covered in burlap and just waiting for us to find him."
They love everything they find at Galeria Corsica, and sometimes their biggest challenge is restraining buying impulses. Larry is most often the one to say to Len, "And you want it for where?"
As for art in Vallarta, they have this to say, "We find a lot of the work here bright, cheery and different. When we're collecting in the States everything seems the same."
Hannah & Ron Nunn
Hannah and Ron Nunn remember the days when there were but two or three galleries just beginning to show the fine work that abounds in Mexico. One of their first buys was a piece by Serrano, which they took back to the Napa Valley, only to return with it once they established their condo here.
The Nunns collect work by Tellosa, Serrano, Luis Solorio Ramirez, Daniel Palma, Perro Prieto and Evelyn Boren, with whom Ron took watercolor classes in Sayulita and France. Included in their collection is a 100-plus-year-old water storage vessel from the Nahuatl culture of San Augustin Oapan, as well as a few of Ron's watercolors.
One of their favorite stories is about their discovery of a young artist painting in a location just around the corner from Cine Bahía. There, in that "tiny and ratty" place, they discovered magnificent paintings stacked against a wall. A year later they returned, and the hopeful artist brought the paintings to their newly acquired home. The Nunns bought all three of the pieces Brewster Brockmann delivered that day 10 years ago, and that is where Galeria Uno founder Jan Lavender first saw the work of one of Vallarta's premier Mexican artists. "Within hours," says Hannah, "Jan contacted Brewster and booked him for a show in the gallery." In such serendipitous fashion are struggling artists often discovered.
The Nunns have great admiration for Brockmann and feel that Galeria Pacifico, where Brockmann's work is now represented, holds a major artist in its hands. "We find Brewster's work very intriguing; we keep looking at the paintings and seeing things fresh and new – it keeps us on our mental toes," says Hannah.
Walter Haas
Walter Haas lives in a spacious cosmopolitan dwelling filled with colorful and original furniture from the '60s, as well as a number of playfully elegant Bustamente pieces. Bringing additional harmony to the space are fine paintings and sculptures by such notable artists as Julio Galán, Rufino Tamayo, Diego Rivera and Wouter Deruytter, a Belgian photographer whose works featuring Crow warriors have an Old West feel about them.
Also figuring largely in Haas' home is the work of Pierre & Gilles, a young Parisian duo that produces altered color photographs on aluminum. These intense, large-scale pieces are a hybrid style of art that crosses surrealism with a taste of sci-fi. Walter was once persuaded to sell one of his many Pierre & Gilles works to a fellow collector. He came to regret it; and when the piece came up at auction several years later, he was astounded to see how high the value had climbed.
He remarked on what a difference auctions can make to an artist's career. "Auctions provide an excellent opportunity for an artist's work to be seen and exposed to collectors and dealers who frequent the auction scene. The subsequent bidding can have a tremendous effect on the value of an artist's work."
Walter remembers the nasty days of the '80s, when artwork was traded back and forth on a ballooning market reminiscent of junk bond dealing. It was a damaging time for many artists, when their work was traded for bloated prices rather than an appreciation of the intrinsic value of the work. Thankfully, since then we have seen a return to informed buying by collectors who appreciate art for its own sake. He finds that collectors often know more about the work than do art dealers, as their personal interest in the work arouses them to do more than average research.
Haas travels between Vallarta, New York and Paris, where he has major business concerns as advisor and facilitator to other collectors. His keen eye and meticulous sense of composition and detail also serve him well in his own work as a photographer. The curious explorer within inspires his venture into figurative photography, and the images on his studio walls are mesmerizing.

College Hockey:Deptula Named Head Coach At Wentworth
Interim Coach Takes Over On Permanent Basis
BOSTON — Jonathan Deptula, who became Wentworth's interim ice hockey coach on Jan. 30, has been named the Leopards' head coach.
Deptula became interim coach when Wentworth fired Bill Bowes. He coached the Leopards to the ECAC Northeast tournament championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Wentworth lost to Middlebury in the Division III quarterfinals.
Deptula, 26, becomes Wentworth's fourth head coach since the team was elevated to varsity standing in 1992. He played hockey at Wentworth for four years, graduating in 2000 with a Bachelor's degree in Management of Technology.
Deptula then became an assistant coach under Bowes. The Leopards reached the ECAC Northeast finals in 2001 and won the conference championship in 2002 and 2003.
"My love for Wentworth and its hockey program is abundant," said Deptula. "I am hoping that the team and I can continue to achieve great things on and off the ice."
Deptula is a native of Anchorage, Alaska. During his 94-game career, he scored 23 goals and had 35 assists for 58 points, tied for 12th all-time. He was twice the recipient of the "Leopard Award," which goes to the team's unsung hero.
In addition to his coaching duties, Deptula will serve as the department's strength and conditioning coach, assisting all of Wentworth's student-athletes with in- and out-of-season conditioning activities.

Purchasing Additional Hearing Aid Warranty
The first year of experience with hearing aids can be quite an adjustment. It is not uncommon for hearing aids to be misplaced or lost before they become part of the routine of daily life, such as wearing glasses or brushing your teeth. In case of loss in the first 12 months, it is nice to know that the manufacturer's coverage will replace the hearing aid. Of course, once that claim is made and the aid is replaced, it no longer has coverage.

Nobody really knows. There aren't many speakers compared to the "big" languages, but there are enough that you can use the language in lots of ways. For a few concrete examples, check out the page on Fields of Use.
It depends how you look at it... Many of the root words come from European languages, but the grammar of Esperanto has many traits that are atypical for European languages, which make it somewhat similar to perhaps Turkish, Swahili or even Chinese.
Compared to other languages, certainly. But as with learning any language, some find it easier than others. You're certainly at an advantage if you already speak another foreign language.
In the beginning, the language was called Lingvo Internacia - the international language. When Zamenhof introduced the language, he used the name Dr. Esperanto (it means 'doctor who hopes'). Some people started to call it "the language of Dr. Esperanto", which was eventually shortened to just "Esperanto", which is the most common name today.
Yes, a few in fact. The green star has traditionally been used as a symbol of Esperanto, and it's a part of the Esperanto flag. The color green is a sign of hope, and the five points of the star symbolise the five continents.

Here is a quick and easy recipe for a savory pumpkin soup that can be made with either canned pumpkin puree or your own home roasted pumpkins. If you are making your own puree, be sure to use the small sweet pumpkins and not the large, woody, kind that everyone carves up over Halloween. I will be using the premade puree this year because I simply don't have the time! Also, to save on time the day of the dinner, this soup can be made a few days ahead of time, then you just have to crisp the bacon right before serving (or you could cheat and warm and crumble the precooked bacon). This uniquely flavored pumpkin soup is sure to bring a gourmet touch to any holiday gathering!
Pumpkin Soup with Bacon and Gorgonzola
- 1/2 cup brandy
- 1 – 15oz can pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 4 cups (32 oz) chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp cloves
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 2 tsp thyme, fresh, chopped
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 ounces bacon, pre-cooked and crumbled
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
In soup pot over medium heat, bring brandy to a boil and reduce by 2/3. Add pumpkin puree, applesauce, chicken broth, salt, pepper, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and thyme and brown sugar. Whisk together until well combined. Let simmer for 20-30 minutes so that the flavors can blend together. Whisk in the heavy cream right before service. Top each bowl with 1 tbsp of each the crumbled bacon and Gorgonzola cheese. Enjoy!
Serves 8 (1 cup portions)

10 angry past tweets that may make LeBron's return awkward
Cleveland fans' 2010 tweets didn't mince words
LeBron James' announcement that he's returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers has ignited mixed emotion among basketball fans.
But nothing compares to the firestorm of angry, bitter reaction that followed the 29-year-old baller's 2010 decision to leave his hometown and head to Miami.
Now that James is coming back to the Buckeye State, things might be a little awkward between the King and his former fans. Let's revisit some of Cleveland's most heated tweets from July 8, 2010, the day of "The Decision," before some of these fans begrudgingly come back to the fold.
"I personally guarantee that the Cleveland Cavaliers will win an NBA championship before the self-titled former 'King' wins one. You can take it to the bank." -Cavs owner Dan Gilbert's open letter to the team's fans following James's departure. Two championship rings later, LeBron has apparently forgiven Gilbert for his written rant.
"I know how loyal I am." Reached for comment, Ohio disagreed.— Scott Howard-Cooper (@SHowardCooper) July 9, 2010
Fair warning: first person I see wearing a Lebron Heat jersey gets punched in the neck. I don't care if you're a toddler.— SportsPickle (@sportspickle) July 8, 2010
Re: lebron leaving Ohio. I am done with pro sports. Onto little league where the game still means something.— Joshua Radin (@joshuaradin) July 9, 2010
Dear Lebron - your arrogance has somehow made Kobe Bryant look like a decent human being. Thank you?— Chris Gethard (@ChrisGethard) July 9, 2010
Other angry tweets that have apparently since been deleted:
"'I have to do what's best for Lebron James,' said Lebron James…. And then I vomited." @rebeccagallant
"I got a Lebron James 23 jersey for sale...real cheap...Hit me on direct Message." @ClevelandHuddle
"What a f**king a**clown! Way to humiliate ur hometown on national tv!! F**k u Lebron James!!! Go browns!!" @kimik21 - sent from Cleveland.
"look up hypocrit (sic) in the dictionary: it will read: see Lebron James." @szambo77
"#breakingnews Cleveland has officially disowned Lebron James." @watts08
"Lebron James is a coward and should get nothing but misery. Cleveland forever hates you. I knw (sic) i do." @LindseyLimpert
How do you feel about Lebron James' return to Cleveland?

I recently installed ubuntu 11.10 on an older computer Pentium 4 dual 3.0 chips.
Ubuntu installed and runs great, but cannot get the internet to work. Will not recognize either the ethernet card, or the router. Not sure which.
Any suggestions.?
As long as your router uses IPv4 or IPv6(99% of routers do), your problem isn't with the router. If you know what kind of network card you have, you can try to get Linux drivers for it by downloading them on a different computer onto a flash drive, then installing on your system. If you can tell me what kind of ethernet card you have(Or even the exact model number of your computer, as long as you didn't change the ethernet card), I can point you to a link to get the right files and give you info on how to install.

College Hockey:Murray leaning towards leaving Wisconsin for Swiss contract
It's not finalized yet, but a report in the Wisconsin State Journal has Badgers forward Jordy Murray giving up his senior year to sign a pro contract in Switzerland.
"I told the (Wisconsin) coaching staff and my teammates that unless something changes in the next couple of days, I'm leaving," Murray told the paper. "It's hard to do this, but I think everyone understands."
Murray may or may not be eligible to play in Switzerland next season, however, if eligibility rules are rewritten. Murray's older brother, Brady, who left North Dakota after his sophomore season in 2005, has played in Switzerland ever since.
Both Brady and Jordy are classified as non-import players due to them each being registered in Switzerland when their father, Andy Murray, was coaching there in the early 1990s.
To take Murray's roster spot, the Journal reports that Waupaca forward Brad Navin is expected to join the Badgers this fall. Navin was initially slated to play juniors and come to Wisconsin in either 2012 or 2013.

Are there any laws on the books about repainting between tenants here in Pa??
No, there is no law requiring it.
If you are a prospective tenant it's up to you to accept or decline a rental based on it's condition and never rely on a landlord's promise.
Make sure the rental is the way you want it before you sign a lease and hand over any money.
If you want it painted and he won't paint, walk away and look elsewhere.
Meantime, study the PA landlord tenant statute and understand your rights and obligations:

Seafood lovers around the world are celebrating this day with some of their favorite sea scallop recipes. Sea scallops are very popular and are usually prepared by pan searing or sautéing with butter or white wine. These tender treats are low in fat and contain nutrients that your body needs and are easy additions to any meal. In fact, seafood is very healthy and according to The World's Healthiest Food, eating fish or other seafood like scallops atleast 1 to 3 times per month may reduce the risk of a stroke by 31% (Stroke, July 2004 issue). Due to the amount of vitamin B12 inside of scallops, consuming them may help promote cardiovascular health and protection against colon cancer; another reason to indulge in the light subtle taste.
Fun facts…..
- According to food historians, scallops can be found throughout the world but are in abundance in the Mediterranean.
- Pilgrims used scallop shells to decorate their doorways in honor of Coquille St. Jacques and worn on the coat of Winston Churchill's and John Wesley's families (Kid Answers, May 2012)
Try these easy scallop recipes and share your own creative concoctions!

TUCSON, Ariz. – Head coach Rich Rodriguez and the University of Arizona football program continued spring practice on Wednesday at Kindall Field/Sancet Stadium. The 2014 Cats worked out in shells and shorts for two hours. Below is a transcript of Rodriguez's comments following practice.
On the dismissal of the proposed 10-second rule:
"It was expected. I thought it would have gone to a vote tomorrow and that they would have voted it down. But pulling out I think the committee did a wise thing and realized that it wasn't something that, at this point, needs to move forward. It's good. We'll see where it goes from this point. I think there was enough outcry and enough facts that they thought it wasn't a good time to implement that rule."
"I give the committee some credit. As disappointed as I was that it got to that point, I'm pleased that they realized it was a mistake and that it should have never got to that point. Rules committee is a bunch of coaches. Coaches, I think, know what's best for the game."
On if he talked to any coaches that liked the proposed rule:
"I heard some of the explanations and reasons. I didn't buy any of it regarding player safety or any of that. I've been doing the same offense for 27 years and we think it's healthier for our players and not the other way around."
On if he is going to get the snap off every ten seconds:
"That's our goal. Play faster, right? That's what it says in the video. We are practicing faster. Just judging by our practices two springs ago, we are practicing so much faster now. That should be expected because kids are starting to grow in our program and understand how we work."
On former players that remind him of DaVonte' Neal:
"It started with a guy named Chris Jordan at Glenville State who caught 120 balls in a year. At West Virginia, there were a couple of slot receivers. There's a guy in particular named Darius Reynaud who is still playing in the NFL that had a lot of the same skill sets. He can run the ball. He can be a running back, a great returner, just the feel to get open. DaVonte' still has a lot to learn. I don't want to put the expectations too high but one thing about him is that he loves to play. He has an infectious enthusiasm when he comes out here to work and I think that's rubbing off on a lot of guys."
On where he sees T.J. Johnson playing:
"He's like DaVonte' (Neal). He's a guy that played both, a running back and returner, at slot receiver. I've been thoroughly impressed. We've just been in shorts two days. He's the fastest guy on the team by far. He shows quick learning, too, because he's learning pretty well. He's going to have an opportunity to play a lot for us this year."
On Derrick Turituri:
"He still will play defense. More for us in special packages and pass rush situations. He's big and strong enough to do that. Right now we're just doing our base defense so he's at linebacker. But not just him, there are probably some other guys that will hybrid linebacker-defensive end guys. (Keoni) Bush-Loo is another one of them that can probably do the same thing."
On his first impressions of Jeff Worthy and the defensive line:
"It's early. I don't really pay much attention to that part until we get to pads. When you get guys, particularly defensively and those guys that play in the front seven, in pads you're able to see them get off the block and tackle a guy. That's one thing I get nervous about when we go pads because I don't want anyone to get hurt. At the same time, we have to do a lot of teaching and evaluating, particularly guys like Worthy, (Antonio) Smothers and all the new guys that game in. These next few practices in pads will be important to them."
On if he sees NFL potential in players returning for Pro Day:
"Sure, there's Shaquille (Richardson), Marquis (Flowers) and Terrence Miller. We have a good group of seniors. Whether they test well or not tomorrow, I'm hoping they do. Some of them have been training here and some have been on their own. I do think that when they watch their film, they'll see they're pretty good players. On Ka'Deem, I've said this before but he may not have the best 40 but he's fast enough. When you turn on the film, I don't think there's another better running back in the country."
"Shaq is a big corner. He told me today he weighs 196 pounds. He feels good. He's going to run well. He has a lot of experience so I think he has a shot. I told those guys I don't want them to get all tight with pro day coming up. It's a chance to evaluate them, sit down and talk with them and all that. They're going to do most evaluation from film."
On the running backs:
"They're doing okay. It's early. We haven't seen them as far as protection and running through tackles or anything like that. They have a pretty good grasp. We're not slowing down. Again, it's just the way we do things. Normally some people will go early so they teach. We think it's better off to learn at our pace. Their heads will swim the first week or two but I've been impressed so far that there haven't been too many missed assignments."
On the schedule changes to mid-week games:
"I want to have a Pac-12 Thursday night game. I've been complaining about that for three years. I guess they're considering our ASU Friday night game as a mid-week game but I would like for us to play a Thursday mid-week Pac-12 conference game at home at Arizona Stadium. I think the place would be packed with a great atmosphere. We had a chance to move the early games earlier and we had a great crowd for NAU on a Friday night. I think we will have a great crowd in our opener against UNLV. Also the exposure that we will get from national television, that is all good. When I told the team, they were pretty excited about that, too."
Football season tickets for both new and returning customers are on sale now. The football season ticket renewal campaign began earlier this month and runs through May 1. However, fans that renew (via full payment or payment plan registration) by March 7 will lock in last year's lower ticket prices. In addition, fans that renew online by the March 7 early renewal deadline will have the $10 service fee waived and receive $10 in store credit to BearDownShop.com. Football season tickets for 2014 start as low as $99 (less than $15 per game).
Fans wishing to become football season ticket holders for the first time can purchase new seats at ArizonaWildcats.com or by calling (520) 621-CATS. Payment plans are available for both new season tickets and renewals but must be arranged over the phone with the McKale Ticket Office.

"I had no start-up capital, no experience, and no real idea what I was doing." Still, Ms. Reiniger said the company grew quickly and sales rose from $29,000 in 2005 to $1.1 million in 2007 — when cash flow became an issue. "It was literally, money in, money out," she said. Silver Lining never had a line of credit. Instead, Ms. Reiniger said, "I had a credit card with a $17,000 limit." She said Silver Lining's small-business clients had their own cash flow issues, which didn't help matters.
By late 2006, Ms. Reiniger said, Silver Lining's financial woes prompted her to start "calling people and making ridiculous deals." For example, she would request a loan of, say, $50,000 and promise to pay it back in 60 days — at a 20 percent interest rate....
She said she entered a dangerous cycle — borrowing a sum from one person and paying it back, with interest, with a loan from someone else.
Ms. Reiniger said that from 2006 until 2008 she completely ignored the reality of her situation. "Admitting that I didn't have a grasp on our finances and that I was going into debt every month was not going to support my image," she said, adding that the company had a "rock star" reputation. But while Silver Lining's annual revenues were $1 million, the company was spending more than that.
It got to the point where Ms. Reiniger said she couldn't bear to look at the company's QuickBooks records.
And here's a bit of Part 2, which covers Silver Lining's recovery:
After two years of trying to ignore her predicament, Ms. Reiniger was forced to acknowledge it. One wake-up call came, she said, from the husband of a creditor who went to Silver Lining's offices in Edmonton, Canada, and threatened her and her employees. Some shell-shocked employees began to quit, and Ms. Reiniger was forced to lay off others. She was soon down to two employees from a high of 25. In a misguided attempt to grow her way out of debt, Ms. Reiniger had expanded from Silver Lining's original Toronto office, adding outposts in Vancouver and Edmonton, Canada, and Las Vegas. In 2008, she decided to close all but the Toronto office.
Silver Lining had made its living coaching other small businesses on how to set and reach financial goals. Now, Ms. Reiniger's own business was struggling to manage its growth. The irony contributed to her reluctance to face her financial problems head-on. She wasn't sure what to do: "I needed either slower growth or more money," she said.
Part 2 also includes a great discussion of pivoting a business model and how to regain the trust of creditors.
UPDATE: Here's Part 3 of the story.

Advisers Warn Firms of 'Onerous' U.K. Tax Changes
Private equity firms and other alternative investment fund managers face higher costs and extra compliance work as a result of a series of anti-avoidance tax laws in the U.K., some of which were announced in the Chancellor George Osborne's Autumn Statement last week.
Among legislation aimed at tackling tax avoidance is a plan to change the treatment of limited liability partnerships and mixed partnerships between companies and individuals, which was given the green light in last week's Autumn statement.
Robert Mellor, an asset management partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, said the plans "could be seen by some as a blow for the asset management industry".
Private equity firms are often established as mixed partnerships, in accordance with long-agreed guidelines between HM Revenue & Customs and U.K. trade body the British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association, according to law firm Osborne Clarke. The rule change is designed to ensure that individuals in a partnership, who usually pay 45% income tax on their profits, do not manage to get their profits taxed at the lower corporate tax rate of 23%.
The government projects a substantial extra tax bill for the alternative investment fund sector. In the tax year ending in 2016, it estimates the sector will pay an extra £680 million and an extra £430 million in the year later and stay around that level.
Adam Frais, an M&A tax partner at accounting and business services firm BDO, said private equity firms were faced with "a time-consuming and costly exercise" of assessing whether each member of a partnership was getting taxed appropriately, based on capital and services provided.
"This is going to be yet another incredibly onerous piece of regulation for private equity firms to work through because each firm will have to self-assess and prove that returns to individual members of private equity partnerships are appropriate based on the capital contributed and services provided," Mr. Frais said.
Many tax advisers, as well as the BVCA, are awaiting more details of the changes to emerge in draft legislation of the Finance Bill on December 10.

Colts- Andrew Luck QB
Well this is the pretty obvious pick, a player who is widely seen as a can't miss prospect and the next Peyton Manning. They didn't get rid of Manning for no reason, the only question is how early they will make the pick.
Redskins- Robert Griffin QB
Again another obvious pick, they traded up to #2 and are not going to risk another season of Rex behind center. RG3 gives them an explosive weapon on offense.
Vikings- Matt Kalil OT
The Vikings are in desperate need of an offensive tackle and someone who can protect Ponder's blindside for years to come.
Browns- Trent Richardson RB
Peyton Hillis left after a season filled with injury and that left a giant whole and RB. The Browns need weapons on offense and they need to set up a good running game to help McCoy next year.
Buccaneers- Morris Claiborne CB
The Bucs have historically been known for their tampa 2 defense and causing turnovers while having a dominant D-line. McCoy is there on the D-line now its just time to upgrade the CB position
Rams- Justin Blackmon WR
If the Rams are in this position come draft day they take about 10 seconds to make this pick. It's time to give Sam Bradford some weapons, especially now that Lloyd left to New England
Jaguars- Melvin Ingram DE
The Jaguars need to get a pass rusher. Now with Andrew Luck in the division as well as Schaub and last years 1st round pick Locker they need some pass rush on them
Dolphins- Ryan Tannehill QB
Finally a QB taken in the 1st round since Dan Marino. Tannehill knows the offense because Sherman was his head coach and now is the offensive coordinator. Makes too much sense, however so did Flynn.
Panthers- Quinton Couples DE
I believe the Panthers go defense here and put thee pressure on Brees, Ryan and Freeman. A solid offense and a defense that can get after the passer could really improve this team.
Bills- Riley Reiff OT
The Bills want to run the ball and protect Fitzpatrick, and they do so on this pick. The offense was successful for the first part of the year but then died down through out, they need to improve the offensive line to give their QB more time to throw the ball and open up some running lanes.
Thanks for reading and please leave a comment as to how you think the top 10 picks of the draft will play out.
Also these pictures where taken from NFL.com on their mock draft central page.

The Price Customers Pay For Strikes
Spirit Airlines pilots' strike has canceled flights through Wednesday at least and with both sides dug in, it appears it will stretch on for awhile. For some 16,000 customers per day, costs will add up.
Rival airlines have no federal requirement to carry passengers from carriers shut down by strikes. (The Department of Transportation used to require that airlines honor tickets from bankrupt or insolvent rivals on a standby basis for $50. But that was dropped several years ago, and never applied to labor strikes.)
And so as Spirit ticketholders are learning, travelers are often on their own when their airline goes on strike. Airlines that cancel flights for labor disputes refund tickets, but travelers who absolutely have to be there then have to go buy walk-up tickets on other carriers, almost always at far steeper prices than their original ticket. And it can be hard to find seats when flights are so full.
The Spirit strike, like the British Airways flight attendant walkouts of late, is cautionary for customers. You have to pay attention to labor disputes when you buy tickets. If an airline is in a 30-day cooling down period with a union, it's best to book some other carrier, even if the price is higher, simply because there is a possibility of a strike at the end of those 30 days. (That's why The Middle Seat Terminal posted a warning on Spirit in May.)
Of course, many tickets are bought more than 30 days in advance. If that happens, my advice is to buy a backup ticket on Southwest Airlines, which will allow you to rebook a ticket with no penalty, or another carrier with a small change penalty. It's your own strike insurance and will keep you from getting clobbered at the counter if there is a strike.
No other U.S. airline labor group, at least at a major carrier, is currently in a 30-day cooling off period. But some could be getting close. Mechanics at American Airlines, for example, have a contract proposal out for a vote and union leadership is urging members to vote it down. That could trigger an impasse.
It's not likely that the National Mediation Board, which gets to decide when to declare an impasse in negotiations and put labor and management into a cooling-off period, will put a major airline at risk of strike during the summer. The NMB typically tries to pick slow travel periods for big airlines. So something could surface this fall.
It's also worth remembering that travel insurance won't protect you once a cooling period and a possible strike date have been set. Travel insurance typically covers only unforeseen events; once there is a possible strike date, it's no longer unforeseen.

If you have been thinking about adopting a new pet now is the time to "spring" into action during the DeKalb County Animal Services' (DCAS) "Spring into Adoption" promotion. During the month of April, DCAS is offering another great adoption promotion to help find forever homes for their furry residents. DCAS issued the following Press Release earlier this week:
Springtime in Atlanta brings sunshine, Dogwood blooms and, sadly, skyrocketing intake levels at DeKalb County Animal Services (DCAS) due to the high number of puppies and kittens being born. To encourage the public to adopt, LifeLine Animal Project is offering a great deal on pet adoptions with their 'Spring Into Adoption' promotion at DCAS. During April, all adoptable dogs and cats are only $25. Standard adoption screening criteria still applies. Adopted pets will be spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm or combo tested and dewormed – a $200 value!
According to DCAS Shelter Director Susan Feingold, a staggering number of unwanted pets enter the shelter during warmer months. "Beginning in the spring, we receive an influx of unwanted litters due to people not getting their pets fixed." she says. "We hope this promotion will bring adopters in quickly, so many wonderful pets can be adopted and lives can be saved."
DCAS is also still offering free spay and neuter surgeries to DeKalb County residents who cannot afford them through SNIP (Spay Neuter Impact Program) DeKalb. To learn more about SNIP DeKalb or to view the wonderful animals available for adoption at DCAS, please visit the website.

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Santhera Pharmaceuticals and Ipsen have amended their existing agreement for the development and commercialization of Santhera's clinical-stage Parkinson disease drug, fipamezole. Ipsen is returning to Santhera rights to all territories outside of North America and Japan, in exchange for milestone payments and royalties based on future partnering and commercial success.
Santhera thus effectively regains worldwide rights to the drug, including the freedom to license the program to a third party. The new deal does include a call option allowing Ipsen, under certain circumstances, to obtain an exclusive, worldwide license itself, in return for milestone and royalty payments.
Fipamezole is a selective adrenergic alpha-2 receptor antagonist, which is in development for managing levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson disease patients. Santhera has already successfully completed two Phase II trials demonstrating the efficacy and safety of the drug. However, the firm admits fipamezole won't be top of its development priorities list.
"In the short term, the focus of our investments remains on our lead product Catena® and its multiple product opportunities in neuromuscular and mitochondrial orphan indications," remarks Thomas Meier, Santhera CEO. "However, fipamezole continues to be a valuable asset in Santhera's late-stage clinical pipeline."
Santhera and Ipsen signed their original fipamezole deal back in September 2010. With €13 million up front, Ipsen obtained rights to fipamezole outside the U.S., Canada, and Japan.

FRESNO, Calif. - Raven Fox scored a career-high 13 points and Taylor Thompson posted a double-double to help the Fresno State women's basketball team come from behind and beat Wyoming 65-60 on Wednesday night at the Save Mart Center.
The win was Fresno State's (15-10, 9-5 Mountain West) fourth in a row at home and by beating Wyoming (17-7, 8-5 MW), the 'Dogs now sit a half-game out of second place in the conference standings.
"This was a game that we knew coming in to was a need to get, a must-win if you say," head coach Raegan Pebley said. "I'm just really proud of the grit that our team showed and that's probably the best word that I have for this win and how we played."
The Bulldogs, behind just 9-of-32 (28.1 percent) shooting in the first half, found themselves in a 26-20 halftime hole. Imploring a five-guard approach for most of the second half, Fresno State was able to climb its way back into the game with penetration in the lane and a great defensive effort to come away with the victory over Wyoming to earn a season split with the Cowgirls.
"I think our second-effort defense and second-half defense [on Wyoming guard Kayla Woodward] was a big key to our victory, that she just wasn't able to get comfortable," Pebley said. "Team effort - defense is done through team effort, but I will say Raven was matched up to her quite a bit and Raven did a great job playing to her strengths defensively."
In the first meeting with Wyoming back on Jan. 29, the Cowgirls put up 87 points and got a combined 41 points from Woodward and Kaitlyn Mileto, who rank No. 3 and No. 6 in the conference in scoring, respectively.
After hitting three 3-pointers in the final 4:55 of the first half, Woodward, with Fox tightly guarding her for much of the game, only scored four second-half points and finished with just 13 in the game. Mileto, who hit five 3-pointers in the first meeting, scored just one point at the free-throw line this time around against Fresno State.
Not only was Fox a force on defense, but her career-night on offense sparked the Bulldogs' comeback. She used her quickness to penetrate into the lane for layups and scored nine points in the first 10 minutes of the second half to cut Wyoming's lead, which was as large as eight, down to one point on a layup at the 10:20 mark.
"I think Raven did an excellent job for us off the bench," Pebley said.
After Fox got the Bulldogs within striking distance, Thompson followed by giving the Bulldogs their first lead of the second half, 44-43, on a layup at 9:39 and proceeded with timely buckets down the lane. She scored 12 points in the final 10 minutes of the game, none bigger than her 3-pointer with 42 seconds remaining that put Fresno State up 62-55 and effectively sealed the victory.
"We just tried to get Taylor in some mismatch opportunities and Taylor played with great confidence," Pebley said. "I think just knowing that was what our team needed and she found the rim quite a bit tonight."
In all, Fresno State scored 24 of its 45 second-half points in the paint. A big part of that was going to the five-guard lineup that allowed Fresno State to spread Wyoming out, opening up the lane for penetration.
"I think our game changed when we went five guards out," Thompson said. "It opened the lane more because their posts were just crowding that lane and it really opened up that lane more for us guards, which was huge for us. That definitely helped me, Raven and our other guards get to the rim more."
Thompson finished with her second double-double of the season and fourth of her career, putting in a team-high 18 points with 11 rebounds.
Fox finished the game going 6-for-10 from the field for her career-high 13 points with one rebound and two steals.
"I was just really happy we got the `W', that's what I want and what our team wants," Fox said when asked how she felt about her performance. "Ultimately the `W' was just awesome."
Guard Bree Farley scored 13 points, had four rebounds and three assists with eight of her 13 points coming in that second-half comeback.
Coming off the bench, Moriah Faulk was big on the boards with 12 rebounds to help Fresno State out-rebound Wyoming 43-40.
Fresno State finished the game shooting 39.7 percent thanks to hitting 51.6 percent of its shots in the second half. Wyoming shot just 34.4 percent on the night. Both teams only had eight turnovers.
Now Fresno State remains at home for just its second and final back-to-back home games during league play. The Bulldogs host Utah State on Saturday at 2 p.m.
"This is one of our opportunities where we get to be at home two times in a row and we really need to try to hone in and take advantage," Pebley said.

The number one offense in the NFL, the Denver Broncos, takes on the number one defense in the NFL, the Seattle Seahawks, in Super Bowl XLVIII. This marks the first time since 1990 that the best offense and best defense battles for the championship and the Broncos hope to continue the success they enjoyed, which continued with Peyton Manning winning the NFL MVP award on Feb. 1. Here is how fans can follow the Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl XLVIII live stream of the championship game.
- Date: Feb. 2
- Time: 6:25 p.m. EST
- Radio: XM 88
- Live Stream: NFL.com
The last time the best offense played the best defense in the Super Bowl was in 1990 when the strong New York Giants defense shut down the high powered Buffalo Bills offense, winning on a last second field goal, 20-19. Now, over two decades later, the Seattle Seahawks hope to duplicate that success.
Denver led the league in points scored and yards gained while Seattle led the league in fewest points allowed as well as yards allowed. Seattle also led the NFL in takeaways while Peyton Manning broke the NFL records for passing touchdowns and yards. This game will be all about who will break, and with Peyon Manning and the Seattle defense, that could come on just one mistake.
The Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl XLVIII live stream kicks off at 6:25 p.m. EST.

New York Jets Owner More Concerned With Election Than Football

At least there is a good reason the Jets are an embarrassment
As I've said before, I cannot stand when people put their own personal interests before the good of the country. That's why I applaud Woody Johnson—Jets owner and Johnson and Johnson CEO—for putting a Romney win ahead of a Jets Superbowl.
And not only does he talk the talk, Woody Johnson walks the walk. He has made the Jets so inconceivably bad that there is no way anyone could ever accuse him of putting business before country.

Senate Plan Would Give Every Kid Free Lunch
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on March 27, 2013 @ 7:00PM
Created on March 27, 2013 @ 6:12PM
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The West Virginia Senate introduced an ambitious plan to give free school breakfasts and lunches to every child in the state, from kindergarten through 12th grade.
The bill announced Wednesday would fund the expanded lunch programs through private donations and grants. The Department of Education and every county board of education would establish nonprofit funds to collect contributions. Language in the bill stipulates that every dollar in contributions must be used to buy food and cannot be used for administrative purposes.
The bill also requires all schools to adopt better systems for providing breakfast. Often in the rush and chaos of the morning, students don't have time to eat school provided breakfast before class starts. The bill recommends allowing students to eat breakfast in the classroom or after first period.

For example, I have a 4x2TB RaidZ1 set up right now, but I would like to add only a 3X4TB RaidZ1 in addition to it. Is there a way to do this with zdevs/another Zpool?
While as already answered it is technically doable, beware that what you want to do is not a best practice as you end up with an unbalanced pool with sub optimal performance.
All disks in a pool should be of the same size (outside log and cache devices) and all striped vdevs should have the same organization.
You break both of these rules with mixing 2 TB and 4 TB drives, and striping a four disk raidz with a three disk one. You'll have to use
Yes and Yes. You can add multiple VDEVs to a pool, they need not be similar. You can add multiple pools to a system, each consisting of whatever VDEVs.
Note: Once you've added a VDEV to a pool you can not remove it. The only things you can do are replace the disks in a VDEV and add/remove disks from a mirror. If you want to change the way the VDEVs are organized you have to create a whole new pool with the new arrangement then send/receive the data.

Arizona Player Quotes
Forward Krista Warren:
Yeah, I was recruited by USC, and my recruiting trip was the most fun at Arizona. I bonded with the girls more, it was fun.
I was more nervous in the beginning of the game. I was nervous about how I was going to play. I wanted to show them (USC) that I could play.
Once I got the ball and got those easy bunnies then I got hyped.
Forward Angela Lackey:
This week practice will be intense. We have to play hard, come out and win every game. We just have to work hard.
That loss (UCLA) is always in the back of my head, but you can't go out with it in out heads because it is a new game.
We knew that we could win. We didn't want to loose and have our backs
up against the wall. We wanted to protect our home floor.

USC Player Quotes
Guard Tiffany Elmore:
Right now I think that we need to get on the same page and work together. We have to learn each other. We feel pressure to get rid of it quickly.
We have a little miscommunication, and we haven't played together for a long time.
We are disappointed. We have a lot to work on. Our coach is talking
about effort, and we just need a little more of it.

Grand Place (Central Square)
Grand Place © M. Van Hulst
The Grand Place is the heart of Brussels and has been since the Middle Ages. One of Europe's more beautiful squares, it lies in the centre of a confusion of small cobbled streets, and is surrounded by richly decorated 17th century Baroque Guildhouses, various Neo-Gothic buildings and museums.
It is, however, the town hall, a magnificent Gothic building that dominates the square. Markets, flower stalls and various events are held here and this is the place to get to grips with the essence of Brussels, perhaps over a local delicacy at a pavement café.

It's been boom or bust for the running back since Rodgers sustained his shoulder injury early in Week 9. Lacy piled up 150 yards in that game and 110 yards in Week 12, but he totaled just 116 yards in the Packers' other three games since Rodgers went down.

world's largest marine wildlife image database.
To see more photographs of
the Frilled Shark click here.
Class Chondrichthyes
Order Hexanchiformes
Family: Chlamydoselachidae
Genus: Chlamydoselachus
Species: anguineus
Taxonomic name: Chlamydoselachus anguineus
This is one of the most bizarre shark species. The Frilled Shark is a deep water dweller, having been found in depths to 1570m. They have also been found near the surface but would normally dwell in much deeper waters below 200m, making them a bathydemersal species.
Species distribution is very patchy, but world wide. They are uncommon, found as by-catch in deep water trawls, and considered to be a "primitive" shark. Teeth from 11 known extinct species can be found in the fossil record. There is one other Frilled Shark species, the Southern African Frilled Shark (Chlamydoselachus africana), found on the west coast of Africa, from southern Angola around to the Indian Ocean in South Africa, which differs only in a few proportional measurements.
Their taxonomic name, Chlamydoselachus anguineus, means "cloak or cape (Chlamys) shark (selachos)" and "snake-like (anguineus)", meaning a long, slender, snake-like animal with a cape or cloak-like set of gills.
The six gills of this species are disproportionately large, wrapping almost completely around the body, with a soft frilled edge to the operculum (the flap of skin that covers the gill opening). The first two gills actually join under the throat.
On close inspection, their most obvious feature is the large mouth lined with tricuspid teeth. The centre cusp or point is narrow and needle sharp. On either side of the central cusp are two much shorter, but still narrow and pointed, cusps.
The teeth are arranged in rows, like many other shark species, with the front-most tooth being replaced, when it's broken off, by the next tooth in line rotating forward. Due to the "triple point" structure, the teeth appear to be in clusters or rows running back into the mouth. An adult may have up to 300 individual teeth in it's cavernous jaws.
Unlike other shark species, the upper and lower jaws have similar shaped holding teeth, in contrast with other species which have narrow holding teeth in the lower jaw and triangular serrated cutting teeth in the upper jaw. The jaws extend back behind the fairly large eyes.
The very large mouth, tricuspid teeth and oversized gills indicate that this species grabs, holds then swallows their prey whole. The large gills become exposed when swallowing large prey, due to the distortion of the mouth and throat, allowing the shark to continue to breath while having a blocked throat.
Stomach contents of captured species indicate that it eats squid, rays, small sharks and boney fish. In other words, anything that happens to take it's interest.
The long, eel-like body is usually grey to reddish-brown, sometimes grading to a lighter shade on the belly. The dorsal fin is set well back, around the ventral and anal fins. The tail has a small lower lobe and a long tapered upper lobe.
The skin is rough to the touch, like a fine grade of sandpaper. The small pectoral fins are set just behind and below the gills. The lateral line (a line of pressure sensitive organs) is obvious, starting high on the back immediately above the gills and terminating near the tail. Swimming motion is sinuous and eel-like.
Frilled Sharks are ovoviviparous, meaning that the embryos develop inside eggs that are retained within the mother's body until they are ready to hatch. They are born at 40-60cm long, in litter sizes of 2-10. Gestation time has been estimated to be around 3.5 years, making this species susceptible to overfishing due to low population growth. Adults grow to about 2m long.

And just like that, it's all over. With Duke's win against North Carolina yesterday, Miami was officially locked out of the ACC Championship Game. Again. Still, there were many positives to take from this season if you're a UM fan. But overall, would you consider it a success?
Let's take a look at some of the arguments for and against the season being dubbed a success.
- The team improved its record for the third straight season, going from 6-6 to 7-5 and now 9-3 with a bowl game forthcoming.
- Miami has the opportunity with a bowl victory (which incidentally seems more and more likely to be in the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando against Louisville) to win ten games for the first time in a decade.
- The team showed great mental toughness at times, as they rallied from behind to defeat Georgia Tech, North Carolina and Wake Forest in consecutive weeks.
- Miami, for a time, was a relevant program in college football and achieved a top-10 ranking for a few weeks in the middle of the season.
- The team discovered several exciting young players moving forward, most notably Stacy Coley, who looks like a future superstar on offense. Combining he with Phillip Dorsett and Duke Johnson on offense next year should give the Hurricanes unparalleled speed at the skill positions.
- Miami faded badly in the second half of the season, Pitt game notwithstanding. It very easily have lost to two-win Virginia and four-win Wake Forest teams, and in general it didn't play up to its talent level.
- Miami was the most talented team in the Coastal Division, but didn't win it. Anytime that happens, part of the blame has to go to coaching. Yes, it's unfair that Miami had to play Florida State while its division rivals didn't, but for Miami to get blown out by Virginia Tech and Duke this year is unacceptable.
- The defense still isn't very good, and with the possible loss of Denzel Perryman to the NFL along with some contributors along the defensive line and no obvious replacements, things don't figure to get dramatically better next year.
- Stephen Morris regressed, and the future of the quarterback position is in question. Further, coming off of Jedd Fisch's excellent work as offensive coordinator, one hoped that the days of player regression on this side of the ball were over, but Morris' play didn't provide any comfort, though he was limited by injuries. More time is needed to judge James Coley, who generally did a solid job designing and calling plays in his first season and is also noted as an excellent recruiter as well.
In my view, the season was a success, though a mild one. To not win the Coastal Division was a HUGE disappointment given the relative states of Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and North Carolina but to win nine games with the distractions that were abound and lack of talent on the defensive side of the ball in some spots gives some hope for the future. Given the relatively weak non-conference schedule next year, UM fans shouldn't expect any less than 9 wins next year, and I think 10 is a good goal.

The nine-year-old girl who shot and killed a gun range instructor by accident with an Uzi, told her parents that the gun was "too much" for her. The girl dropped the gun and ran to her parents after the fatal shot hit Charles Vacca in the head at the White Hills, Arizona shooting range. Today the child and her family are devastated and praying for instructor's family, according to MSN News on Sept 3.
Vacca had the little girl shoot a few rounds while he held the gun in tandem with the child before she was allowed to shot the Uzi all be herself. She was shooting the gun all by herself when the gun wrenched upward, shooting the instructor in the head , reports ABC News.
The parents of the girl are identified as Alex Gen and Alison MacLachlan. The police will not give out the state the couple hail from, but the family's lawyer is New Jersey based, Attorney Kevin Walsh. He released a statement describing the family's devastation around this tragedy.
When the child dropped the gun at the shooting range and came running over to her parents, they thought that she had hurt herself. They did not noticed that Vacca had dropped to the ground until the staff at the range ran over to him.
The little girl told police that the gun was "too much" for her and that it hurt her shoulder after she shot it. The family is the focus of an online debate as they allowed their nine-year-old daughter to shot an Uzi, which is a sub-machine gun.
Most people wonder what possible reason could there be for a child of this age to shoot such a powerful weapon. The debate over weapons and children has been a heated online debate since the incident happened.
The one person who will most likely have a tough time about this the rest of her life is the child. It wasn't her fault at all, adults who were there were responsible for her safety, but she now has to live the rest of her life knowing that she shot that fatal bullet. It will most likely cause her some mental anguish for quite a long time, possibly the rest of her life.
Sadly police believe the most criminally negligent person in this event was the instructor, who paid with his life. Police have not brought charges against anyone in this tragedy. The 911 call from the incident has been released and it can be heard in the above video.
