Main Sources of Borates
Applications of Borax
Boron is everywhere. It is one of the 109 elements that make up the planet and is fundamental to life. It is found in trace amounts in water, soil, plants, animals and the food we eat. Millions of tonnes of industrial borates are mined, processed and shipped round the globe every year and twice that volume of boron is moved by nature through volcanic activity and dissolved in rain.
In nature, boron combines to form boric acid and inorganic salts called borates and does not exist by itself. Borax is a form of hydrous sodium borate that occurs in and regions, forming from the evaporation of saline lakes. It is also synthesised as a by product of borate deposit mining. It is normally colourless, white or light grey, but can be tinted light shades of blue, green and yellow Naturally occurring borax is translucent due to water in its structure, but develops a white powder on its surface as the water evaporates. The name borax comes from the Arabic 'buraq' meaning 'white'.
Figure 1. Borax
Borax is also known as tincal, from the Sanskrit word for the mineral, and the first deposits were discovered in Tibet in dry lake beds. In the 8th Century AD tincal from these deposits was transported in ancient caravans along trade routes now called the Silk Road. This was also the time of the first confirmed use of borax by Arabian goldsmiths and silversmiths.
In China in the 10th century AD, borax was used in ceramic glazes. The mineral is still used in modern ceramics to ensure a good fit between the glaze and the clay and to increase durability and shine. Borates have also recently been added to tile bodies to lower energy use during production.
Most of the world's borates today come from the southern United States. In 1872 F M Smith, the founder of The Harmony Borax Works (now known as Rio Tinto Borax), discovered borates in the Nevada desert and by 1883 had established 20 mule teams to haul the minerals out of Death Valley More than 130 years on, the company is still one of the world's largest producers of borates, meeting 43% of world demand.
Borax has myriad uses in the modern world, both at home and in industry. In the home borax is used as a laundry detergent booster, cleaner, preservative, fungicide, insecticide, herbicide, disinfectant and dessicant. In industry borax is used as a buffer, a dispersal agent, welding flux and to control viscosity.
Borates modify the structure of glass to make it resistant to thermal or chemical attack. They are used in the production of ultra-thin LCD screens, heat resistant glass and fibreglass and account for 43% of world demand for these products. They also interact with ferrous surfaces to form a coating that protects the metal from corrosion. Combined with zinc, borates are used as flame retardants in the polymers used to coat electrical cables and in cellulose insulation. Borates can even be used as a nuclear containment shield.
One major area of borate research in the US is the development of safe and durable wood preservatives. Wood is increasingly used as a building material because it is a recyclable, sustainable resource, but it is prone to biological attack. Damage caused by the Formosan termite costs American homeowners US$1 billion every year. Pesticides applied to soil are ineffective because the termites nest above ground, so the building itself needs to be treated. Borate treated building products are cost-effective measure to keep voracious termites at bay.
Borax is a star on the rise. The demand for boric acid in borosilicate is increasing, and producers of reinforcement fibreglass and ceramic glazes are using increasing boric acid concentrations to lower energy use and improve product performance. Indeed, researchers at the University of Florida recently discovered that borates were essential in converting interstellar dust clouds into ribose one of the building blocks of life - so borates may even be the key to unlock the great mystery of how life on Earth began.

Can Borax be helpful in decreasing pain?
I don't think so. You'd better look your doctor for further information.PS:Borax seems to be kind of toxic, be careful!

We hear it more and more how red wine and chocolate are full of antioxidants and therefore are good for us. But, what exactly are antioxidants and can wine and chocolate really benefit our health and fitness?
Antioxidants are compounds that protect against cell damage inflicted by molecules called oxygen-free radicals. According to the USDA, antioxidants help prevent chronic and degenerative diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants may lower the risk of these diseases.
The American Heart Association states that supplements are not a sufficient source of antioxidants and recommend that we obtain them from natural food sources. The AHA further states on their website that "At this time, the scientific evidence supports a diet high in food sources of antioxidants and other heart-protecting nutrients, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts instead of antioxidant supplements to reduce risk of CVD (Cardio Vascular Disease).
Antioxidants can't be stored like nutrients, so a constant replenishment is needed. Eating natural foods high in antioxidants throughout the day is a good way of maintaining high levels of disease fighting compounds in your system.
Some Foods high in antioxidants are:
- Cacao
- small red beans
- wild blueberries
- red kidney beans
- pinto beans
- green tea
- cultivated blueberries
- cranberries
- artichokes
- blackberries
- prunes
So, does red wine contain antioxidants? Yes. But, Raw Chocolate, also known as Cacao Nibs, contain 20 times more antioxidants then red wine! This natural food product consists of Magnesium, Iron, and Vitamin C.
Has 30 times more antioxidants then green tea and also contain a high amount of fiber. Cacao is a form of raw dark chocolate unprocessed from the mineral rich rainforest of Ecuador. If taken directly it is
rather bitter and has an acquired taste at best, however, it does blend good with your favorite beverage
and dessert recipes. Sprinkled on Ice cream, yoghurt, or mixed in with your coffee.
It is a good substitute for chocolate chips. The only caution is that this product may contain shell fragments from the cacao bean itself which makes it somewhat harder to digest when taken raw. It has 13 grams total in fat, 8 grams saturated fat, 15milograms of sodium, 4 grams protein, 21% vitamin C, 314% iron and 24% magnesium. The cacao nibs cost about $10.00 for an 8 ounce bag and are sold online but if you want to save on shipping and handling costs, try a local whole foods or health food store. Another great thing about cacao nibs is that they give you a boost like espresso or an energy drink without the crash and burn.
Since the health risks of alcohol consumption may outweigh their benefit. Consider the fact that
there are literally thousands of much healthier sources of antioxidants than drinking wine.

Mark Alan Dion
For the past two and a half years, everyone has been wondering what happened to Mark, the high-octane, pull no punches owner of City Boxing Downtown. In early 2011, Mark fell victim to the dreaded disease Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The fact someone so young, with a zest for life, could be stricken with such a disease seems so farfetched. ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease is a cruel, debilitating illness that robs you of your ability to walk, talk, breathe or even blink. It traps its victim inside a body they can no longer control and is always fatal in an average of two to five years. ALS can affect anyone at any age and at any time. There is no known cause, treatment or cure. Each year, there are between one to two cases for every 100,000 people.
Mark's final two plus years were progressively put on autopilot, a development which became the culprit for his cognitive decline. Without his regular exercise and then nutritious diet, he could no longer increase the blood flow to his brain.
Early morning, January 31, 2014, at the age of 41, Mark passed away peacefully at his home in San Diego's downtown surrounded by loved ones. He is survived by his mother Susan Dion; his father, David Dion and his companion Dolly Keyser; his brother Michael Dion and his wife Bianca, all of whom live in New Hampton, N. H.; plus he has a half-brother Chad Dion and half-sister Lisa Dion. Mark also leaves behind two nieces, Piper and Ella Dion.
Mark grew up in your typical small town USA setting - Franklin, New Hampshire. He attended Paul Smith Elementary School and later graduated from Franklin High School in 1991. After high school and several prosperous years as a car salesman, Mark pulled up stakes and moved west to San Francisco. Convinced the Northwest was an ideal place to live, he settled in and soon began training in the mixed martial art of Muaythai at the Fairtex Gym with the celebrated World Jr. Middleweight Champion Alex Gong. The two became close friends.
Still feeling adventurous, in 1998, Mark moved south to La Jolla, CA to check out what people were calling the ideal climate, the wonderful eateries in town and to live closer to the beach.
During this period, Gong told several people about how he was being harassed by the Yakuza, also known as gokudō, members of the transnational organized crime syndicate originating in Japan, who wanted him to give up his ownership of not only the gym but the visas which Gong held in his possession for the seven world renown fighters/instructors he had sponsored and had either working out or teaching at his gym.
Then, on August 1, 2003, Gong was shot to death. It was reported that a hit and run driver crashed into his parked car in the Fairtex Gym parking lot and then Gong pursued the suspect on foot. After catching up to the car at a nearby intersection, Gong confronted the suspect, who then rolled down his window and shot Gong at point blank range. The killer, thought to be on drugs, then fled in his vehicle back to his hotel room. Surrounded by the police, the hopped up killer hid under the bed until he finally shot himself.
Reports came later that the whole thing was a setup and the murderer had cried out to the police, "I didn't want to do it! They made me!" Connecting the dots, the police felt he was referring to the Yakuza, the Japanese gang who threatened to take over Gong's gym.
This catastrophe squashed any thoughts or yearnings of returning to San Francisco and in an attempt to blank out the memories, Mark made his move to San Diego permanent.
In 2001, with the help of a friend, David Ventura, he founded City Boxing in San Diego's downtown and enjoyed great success as owner of San Diego's premier gym and training center for Boxing, MMA and Muaythai.
Following Gong's lead, Mark started managing world class fighters in Boxing, Muaythai and MMA. He worked with mixed martial artist K. J. Noons from Hawaii, World Muaythai kickboxing champions Evgeniy Khil and Denis Grachev from Russia and Jiu Jitsu champion Carlos Baruch from Brazil. He also hired well respected boxing trainers like Pepe Morales from Mexico and former straw-weight World Champion Manny Melchor from the Philippines.
Respected in the boxing community, he even tried his luck, though unsuccessfully, at being a promoter.
Mark advised, motivated, and mentored his fighters, employees, and friends and worked hard to represent them in their cutthroat dealings with promoters. He became well known for his strong leadership, personality, loyalty and most of all, his honesty.
Mark, who traveled extensively, also visited some far off the beaten track places like the Philippines, South America, Greece, Jamaica and Israel.
Strong-willed and determined, his loyalty and motivation enabled him to acquire many of his dreams. He had an infectious smile. His image of being this tough guy beamed confidence. He enjoyed the finer things of life, fast cars, living by the beach, and great friends.
Getting back to his career: some of the best MMA fighters in the world started working out at his downtown and Pacific Beach locations. Hoping to hold on to these great fighters, he offered them free memberships if they'd become instructors. Some of the most legendary fighters in the fighting sports gave clinics and classes - people like K. J. Noons, Dean Lister and Brandon Vera. From that point on, the student numbers grew and so did the number of classes.
On Thursday, February 6, 2014, six days after his passing, a group of his friends met for a Memorial Dinner at the Athens Market in San Diego's Gas Lamp District, a restaurant that serves Award Winning Greek Food. At this function, it didn't take long before the jokesters were sharing one or more of their favorite Mark Dion stories.
Thomas McWilliams: "He's the only guy I know that would walk into a restaurant at any time of the day or night, didn't matter how many people were standing in line to get a seat, and the owner would come over and find him a table, immediately.
"Going out to breakfast, lunch or dinner with Mark was always an adventure. He had the most extravagant needs when he ate. Butter on the side, blueberries on the side, maple syrup - "have the chef come out here and talk to me." You never realize how much you will miss somebody until they're gone.
"Part of Mark's legend is that he did everything his way! Just like that song by Frank Sinatra, "My Way" by songwriters Jacques Revaux, Gilles Thibaut and Claude Francois with English lyrics by Paul Anka. That song best describes how Mark led his life. With the quality of food he ate, he should have lived forever."
After much prodding, the reluctant K. J. Noons, the former EliteXC and Strikeforce Lightweight MMA Champion and now UFC fighter, told attendees about the time Mark and himself were walking down a deserted street in New York City when three thugs approached.
Now mind you, at the time Noons was very famous with his mug plastered all over TV and our three ambassadors of what's unappealing about the Big Apple, recognized him right away. After blocking their path, the shortest belligerent says, "You know something, he doesn't look that tough!"
And in reality, he wasn't because he had been drinking. The three thugs went right at Noons and started to put a real hurt on him. In the midst of this beat down, Mark is an observer. Noons, with his nose bleeding and eyes puffy, looks up at Mark and pleads, "You're not going to help?"
Mark finally did help and reversed the momentum. In no time, the three hooligans were running off with their tails tucked between their legs.
"As serious as a heart attack, Mark then says, "If you, on your own, were to beat up those clowns, what a front page story it would have made in the New York papers.""
I asked, "You were more interested in building my image, than my well being?"
Noons continued with his story, "The problem was... "And still is!" said a mate. "That when I've had a few drinks, I become..." At that point his mate added, "a wus!" Noons finished, "No, relaxed, my reflexes seem to slow down and I can't do anything."
"Who remembers the time, this wise guy came in the gym and said he wanted to be a coach? Mark said, "Sure, but you don't mind showing us what you got?" He then had him get in the ring with Denis (Grachev) followed by myself. One after another we beat the crap out of the guy. After it was over, the guy goes up to Mark and asks, "Well, when do I start? And how much are you going to pay me?" Mark smiled, "Not so fast! Why don't you come back tomorrow for a second interview?"
Carlos Baruch, City Boxing's Manager/MMA & Jiu Jitsu instructor: "I'm sure several of you are familiar with Mark's unique, negotiating style. The one phrase he always relied on, "Come on, that deal is Bull Sh__ and you know it!"
David Ventura, owner of the Undisputed Fitness Gyms, in North Park and Downtown (a City Boxing competitor) spoke in glowing terms of Mark: "On his arrival in San Diego, Mark joined a workout gym and above the gym was the newly opened Boxing Club. That's where we met. I was 19 and he wanted me to give him boxing lessons.
"When I asked, which day of the week do you want to train. He said everyday. He was always in a hurry. I remember I was always hurting my hand on his hard head. Why? Because he always wanted to spar and he could never go easy. Always going full bore and he'd try to rip your head off. At the time, he was teaching a client weight lifting and we became really good friends.
"When he decided to open his gym, he came to me and asked if I wanted to get involved. I remember the incredible people he had training there. At the time, Dean Lister was a major star in MMA. Together with Lister, they talked Brandon Vera into moving here from Chicago. The owner of the fight club in El Cajon started there. You had all these top guys, Lister, Vera, the Brazilian champion Carlos Baruch. Jhanix Alviz, Tony Palafox and Rudy Silva who later moved on to Victory MMA. Vera opened up the Alliance Training Center in Chula Vista. Because they all connect back to City Boxing, it's like one big family. City Boxing was the incubator for all of these gyms. That's a connection they'll always have. The idea was to open a gym with real boxers, real Muay Thai fighters and real MMA/Jiu Jitsu fighters.
"Fast forward: Mark owned a condo on Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood where he became a major player, a ladies man. And guts - boy did he have guts, especially when it involved the latest fashion. He was like the West Coast version of Joe Namath. He once wore these tight, black leather pants to go clubbing. I'll never forget that. They cost $1,000.
"Then he wore these bikini like swim trunks to the pool and all the ladies were staring. My jaw dropped. He certainly had this penchant for nice things. Cars - he'd always have the best - the black Mercedes replaced the Jeep Grand Cherokee and then it was back to the CLK Class Mercedes."
"Mark was like a brother to me. He had that one of kind personality. Always confident in everything he did. At the same time people would say he was hardcore, a tenacious business man. He could easily fill in as a guest on that reality show "Shark Tank."
"You were never going to beat him. He never went to bed without his I's dotted and T's crossed. He not only schooled me, he schooled everybody. Forget the fighters, the list of managers who went on to become a success with either their own gym or someone else's, is also a long one. I'll never forget Mark. He made me a stronger man. I will always love him for that.
"We loved Mark for that extra dimension he provided. He was so unique. The possibilities of a visit to his stomping grounds in Hollywood or a day at the beach could be boundless. In other words, get ready for the unexpected. I remember all the crazy times we had on the Sunset Strip. When we went clubbing, it was like going out on the town with Michael Jackson.
"When you think about it, almost every gym owner, every boxing instructor, every Muaythai and MMA instructor in town or around San Diego had their beginnings at City Boxing. I mentioned Lister and Alviz but left out Sergio Melendrez and his son Adrian plus Juan Miranda who are now at the Alliance Training Center; Juan Medina Jr. owns Bound Boxing; Dave Nielsen, owns American Boxing; you also have Jose Cital of Cital Boxing & Nutrition; and myself at Undisputed North Park and Downtown. I'm sure there's more. He was a pioneer in blending all three of the fighting sports, Muaythai, MMA and Boxing."
Back in New Hampshire, a Memorial Service was held Saturday, February 15, 2014, at 12 p.m. at the Thibault-Neun Funeral Home in Franklin, N. H. Franklin is a small town with under 8,500 residents. Following that ceremony, there was a celebration of life and luncheon at the Lochmere Country Club in Lochmere, N.H.
As you might imagine, tons of people responded with kind words on Mark's passing. For the sake of brevity, we're only going to mention a sampling from the over 300 messages.
UFC fighter/gym owner Brandon Vera: "Rest In Peace Mr. Mark Dion..... No Negative comments, like Rudeboy has said. Love him or hate him, MMA in So Cal would be nothing where it is today without the dream and visions of this man.
"I would love for it to be known around the world that This Man is remembered as the God Father of MMA here in San Diego....!!!! There were others trying before him, but, no one did it like him. Rest in Peace Mr. Dion thank you for causing all of this!!!!!!!! Thank you."
Gym owner Ted Johnson, former owner of the Undisputed Gym at 16th and K Streets: "I remember the day he walked into my first gym. I always liked him. He was a good guy. RIP!
Boxer Chris "Last Chapter" Chatman: "Right up until the final week, Mark was working trying to get me a fight. You can't get any more dedicated than that! If you knew Mark Dion or were a member of one of his City Boxing gyms, put his logo up on your Facebook account for a week to honor him. He was a good friend and will be missed dearly. Rest in peace Mark. You were loved."
Other notable people who had Lou Gehrig's disease include: Boxing Champions Ezzard Charles and Scott Le Doux, MLB Hall of Fame pitcher Jim "Catfish" Hunter, actor David Niven, Senator Jacob Javits of New York, and the Chairman of the Communist Party, Mao Zedong.

Weber State football: Jody Sears named as head coach, signs three-year contract
Robert Casey
Weber State University announced Friday the signing of head coach Jody Sears to a three-year contract to lead the Wildcat football program. In addition Sears immediately announced the hiring of Timm Rosenbach as the new offensive coordinator at Weber State. Rosenbach, a former NFL quarterback, comes to Weber State after spending last season as the offensive coordinator at the University of Montana.
Weber State Director of Athletics Jerry Bovee made the announcement Wednesday following the completion of the 2012 season where Sears served as interim head coach.
"Coach Sears was put into an unprecedented situation this past season and did a wonderful job of keeping our team together and leading the Wildcat football program," Bovee said. "He did it with style and class, engaging the community and fans in a positive way, all while maintaining stability in our program. Under coach Sears' leadership, the team competed each week despite the difficult situation they faced this year with three head coaches in such a short time. He now has an opportunity to build the program and make the changes that will help get us back to competing for conference championships and taking the team into the playoffs consistently.
"By adding coach Rosenbach and his experience on the offensive side of the ball we are assembling a staff that I'm confident will continue to build the program and reach our ultimate goals," Bovee added. "It also maintains stability for our program and keeps us focused on academics and establishing a solid recruiting base."
The 2012 season was Sears' 19th season coaching college football. He came to Weber State in January 2012 as the defensive coordinator and was named interim head coach on April 23, following spring practice. He also served as defensive coordinator for the Wildcats during the season.
In 2012 the Wildcats posted wins over Big Sky rivals Southern Utah and Idaho State. Under Sears' watch, the Weber State defense ranked third in the Big Sky in total defense in conference games. The 'Cats were also sixth in rushing defense and seventh in passing defense in conference games. WSU junior linebacker Anthony Morales finished the year first in the Big Sky and third in the nation in tackles.
"I'm absolutely humbled, honored and thrilled to have the opportunity to coach and lead the football program at Weber State," Sears said. "I love where our team is and the direction we are going and I'm looking forward to growing the program in the seasons to come. I've known coach Rosenbach for many years and know he will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our program."
Sears is the 10th head football coach in Weber State history. Before coming to Weber State, Sears spent three seasons as co-defensive coordinator at his alma mater Washington State in the Pac-12. He also spent five seasons as the defensive coordinator at Eastern Washington in the Big Sky Conference, helping the Eagles win a conference title and make three trips to the FCS Playoffs.
Prior to his time at Eastern Washington, Sears spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Army. He also spent time as an assistant coach at S. Ambrose University and Iowa State. He was a two-year letterwinner at Washington State and graduated in 1991. Sears, 45, is a native of Pullman, Washington. He and his wife Molly are the parents of five children.
Rosenbach will take over as offensive coordinator at Weber State and brings an extensive resume of playing and coaching experience to the Wildcats.

LAST TIME OUT: After finding itself down by 12 points with 9:09 remaining, Arizona rallied but could not convert a game-winning trey at the buzzer in dropping a 53-51 decision to Colorado Saturday in the championship game of the Pacific Life Pac-12 Tournament. UA climbed back in by forcing CU to miss nine consecutive field goal attempts down the stretch, but it was not enough to overcome the Buffs, who outrebounded Arizona, 37-29, and limited the Cats to 36.7 percent shooting. Kyle Fogg led Arizona with 14 points, while Jesse Perry added 11 points and eight boards.
SCOUTING BUCKNELL: The Bison enter tonight's game with a 24-9 record (12-2 Patriot League) following the March 7 Patriot League title game loss, 82-77, to Lehigh. On the year, Bucknell averages 69.0 points, shoots 46.5 percent from the floor (794-of-1,709), 39.3 percent (191-of-486) from three-point range and 77.0 percent (499-of-648) from the line. Opponents average 61.2 points, are outrebounded by 6.7 boards per game and shoot 39.5 percent from the floor (689-of-1,744). Individually, three Bucknell players average in double figures, led by Mike Muscala's 16.7 ppg figure. He also leads the Bison with an 8.9 rebounds per game average.
THE BUCKNELL SERIES: Tonight's game marks the first meeting of the two schools. All-time, Arizona is 1-0 against schools that presently reside in the Patriot League., defeating Holy Cross, 89-41, in the opening round of the Bank One Fiesta Bowl Classic in Tucson on Dec. 28, 1988. For more information on Arizona's record against the conferences, please see page 50 in the UA media guide.
RISING QUICKLY: Sean Miller's Wildcats posted a 12-6 record in conference play this season, giving him a 36-18 (.667) Pac-12 record in his first three seasons in the league. Not only does that record tie for the best in the Pac-12, but since the conference expanded to 10 teams back in 1978-79, Miller is one of only two coaches in that span to win 36 conference games in their first three years in the league, joining UCLA's Steve Lavin, who went 39-15 (.722) from 1996-99. Additionally, no Pac-12 team has more road wins in conference play (14) than UA since Miller took over. Currently, Arizona is averaging 23 wins per season under Miller, an improvement over the six seasons (21.7) prior to his arrival.
NIT HISTORY: No stranger to college basketball oldest postseason tournament, Arizona has made three previous appearances in the NIT in 1946, `50 and `51. Here is a look at the tournament results from New York City's Madison Square Garden:
March 16, 1947: Kentucky 77, Arizona 53 (quarterfinals)
March 11, 1950: LaSalle 72, Arizona 66 (quarterfinals)
March 13, 1951: Dayton 74, Arizona 68 (quarterfinals)
It's worth noting that two of Arizona's previous NIT opponents were ranked in the top 15 of the Associated Press poll at the time of the game, as LaSalle was ranked 10th and Dayton listed 13th. The AP poll debuted Jan. 20, 1949.
NO. 1 SEEDS: While this is Arizona's first appearance in the NIT in 61 seasons, the Wildcats certainly are no stranger to the No. 1 seed. Since seeding was introduced to NCAA postseason play in 1979, Arizona has been a No. 1 seed five times (1988, 1989, 1998, 2000, 2003) in that other event.
ALL-TOURNAMENT: In advancing to the Pacific Life Pac-12 Tournament championship game for the second consecutive season, Arizona placed three players on the all-tournament team in Kyle Fogg, Solomon Hill and Jesse Perry. It marks the fourth time in the 15-year history of the event that three Wildcats were voted to the all-tournament squad (1988, 1989, 2002). In Arizona's three games, Fogg, Hill and Perry combined to average 47.3 points and 21.3 rebounds, while shooting 46.5 percent from the field (40-of-86).
TOUGH LOSSES: Dating back to the 2011 conference tournament, the Wildcats have endured a number of razor-thin defeats, as the program's 13 losses in that span have come by a total of 65 points (5.0 ppg). This season, Arizona is 1-4 in games decided by two points or less and nine of its 11 defeats have been decided by fewer than 10 points. Included in last calendar year are a pair of two-point defeats in the Pac-12 Tournament title game and a two-point loss in the NCAA West Regional final. Needless to say, the Cats are in every ball game.
LONG-RANGE THREAT: Arizona finished the regular season as the top long-range shooting team in the Pac-12, connecting on 38.0 percent (252-of-663) of its attempts from behind the arc and leading the league with a per game average of 7.4 made treys per game. Individually, no fewer than three Cats rank in the league's top 15: Brendon Lavender, 1st, .509 (55-of-108); Kyle Fogg, 3rd, .441 (71-of-161); and Solomon Hill, 11th, .382 (34-of-89). Four UA players are averaging 1.0 made treys per game or better this season.
CLAMPING DOWN: In its three-game stay in Los Angeles last week, Arizona managed to do a few things well during its Pac-12 Tournament run. The Cats, who have been a solid defensive club all season, limited UCLA, Oregon State and Colorado to an average of 57.3 points per game, outrebounded the trio 104-101, and held them to a cumulative .382 field goal percentage (65-of-170) and a .316 figure (12-of-38) from behind the arc. Heading into postseason play, Arizona leads the Pac-12 Conference in field goal percentage defense (.406) and three-point field goal percentage defense (.281), a category that UA ranks third nationally.
HOLD `EM DOWN: As mentioned previously, Arizona limited the opposition to an average of 57.3 points per game at the Pac-12 Tournament continuing a season-long trend that has seen the Wildcats hold the opposition to an average of 62.7 points per game. That figure is the lowest scoring defense figure for the program since 1985-86 (62.3 ppg), which was the year before the advent of the three-point field goal. Twelve times this season Arizona has held the opposition to less than 60 points.
BOARD WORK: Led by Jesse Perry, who pulled down an average of 10.3 rebounds per game at the Pac-12 Tournament, Arizona continues to do a nice job on the glass. Through 34 games of the regular season, the Wildcats ourtrebounded 24 opponents and are 19-5 in those games. Furthermore, UA carries a +2.2 rebound margin, a figure than ranks seventh among Pac-12 teams.
GETTING TO THE LINE: The Wildcats continue to do a nice job of getting to the free throw line, as the club averaged 25.3 free throw attempts per game at the Pac-12 Tournament and made nine more free throws than the opposition attempted. On the year, UA is averaging 23.2 free throw attempts per game and is outscoring opponents by an average of 4.3 points per game. Over the last 10 games, Arizona has connected on 73.6 percent (187-of-254) of its charity tosses and seen its overall free throw percentage rise to .703 (554-of-788).
IT'S REALLY JUST THAT SIMPLE: Look no further than field goal percentage and turnovers for a measure of Arizona success, as the team is 18-1 when outshooting the opposition and 4-10 when not; further, UA is 13-2 when committing the same or fewer turnovers and 10-9 when committing more.
DOUBLE-DOUBLES: Senior forward Jesse Perry registered his 12th double-double of the season March 9 vs. Oregon State with 16 points and 11 rebounds, a figure that is one shy of Derrick Williams' total from 2010-11. The 6-foot-7 forward from St. Louis, Mo., averaged 14.3 points and 10.3 rebounds per game at the Pac-12 Tournament. He ranks second among Pac-12 players with those 12 double-doubles and is one of the driving reasons why Arizona has more double-doubles (25) than any other school, as Solomon Hill has added 11 and Kyle Fogg 2.
AN OFFENSIVE WEAPON: Entering the postseason with 49 points at the Pac-12 Tournament, Kyle Fogg continues to be Arizona's top scorer with a 13.7 ppg average. The 6-foot-3 senior guard from Brea, Calif., also leads the Cats in three-point field goals (71) and free throws made (120) and steals (36). On the year, he has 25 games in double figures with seven games of 20 or more points, and is riding a streak of 12 consecutive games in double figures, a career best. Additionally, he now holds the UA record for career gamed played with 138.
STEADY: Junior Solomon Hill continues Arizona's steadiest players, as the 6-foot-6 native of Los Angeles, Calif., leads the Wildcats with 26 games of 10 or more points and 28 games with five or more rebounds. He is averaging 12.8 points and 7.7 rebounds per game to go with a .505 (146-of-289) field goal percentage. During the Pac-12 Tournament, Hill averaged 16.7 points and a .552 (16-of-29) FG percentage.
DEADEYE: Senior Brendon Lavender's .509 (55-of-108) three-point field goal percentage currently ranks third on UA's single season statistical lists. As it stands, he joins Steve Kerr, Derrick Williams and Salim Stoudamire as the only Cats to shoot 50 percent or better from behind the arc in a single season.
RECRUITING CLASS: The Arizona coaching staff signed four student-athletes to National-Letters-of-Intent as part of the November early signing period. Brandon Ashley (F, 6-8, 215) from Oakland, Calif., who preps at Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev.; Grant Jerrett (F, 6-10, 220) from LaVerne, Calif., who preps at LaVerne Lutheran H.S.; Kaleb Tarczewski (C, 7-0, 220) from Southborough, Mass., who preps at St. Mark's School; and Gabe York (G, 6-1, 170) from Orange, Calif., who preps at Orange Lutheran H.S.; make up a class that was ranked No. 1 nationally by espn.com and rivals.com.
UP NEXT: A win puts Arizona into the second round against the winner of the (5) Nevada at (4) Oral Roberts game. Game date and tip time are TBA.

"As for Mr Obama, the botched rollout of his healthcare law has done more to discredit the case for activist federal government than Republicans could hope to achieve." According to Luce, the author of that statement in his Sunday analysis, the legacy of President Obama's signature legislation may be that it is remembered for being responsible for the revival of the Republican party.
In his opinion, neither Obama nor the nation will have to wait until the president serves out his term to determine how Obama will be viewed in history. Midterm elections are only seven months away. If Luce is correct, Obama's legacy will be written by voters in November.
As the March 31, 2014, deadline for Obamacare enrollment quickly approaches, Drudge Report creator, Matt Drudge's announcement over Twitter that he paid the Obamacare penalty for his small business for electing not to enroll in Obamacare erupted into a firestorm. A White House representative quickly fired back,"Flat lie, no fee for previous year. Scary how much influence he once had." (Refer to: "Timeline: Liberals race to shoot down Drudge's 'Liberty tax' Obamacare tweet")
"Rule one on Twitter," warned Rick Klein speaking to Greta Van Susteren, "is if you're going to pick a fight on Twitter, be right. " Klein explained that Matt Drudge, as a small business owner was paying his 2014 taxes, "not his 2013 taxes, so it appears he actually was right."
Klein reminded Greta that the Drudge Report "has a huge influence on the internet." So, "Rule number two," continued Klein, "is if you are going to pick a fight with Matt Drudge, you super-duper better be right."
"On the Record" panelist, A.B. Stoddard, suggested there is a bigger issue than whether a White House spokesperson should guard against libel by checking facts before calling someone a "liar" in writing. That may be the impact of the "bad press" spotlighting the reality that even people in the White House "don't know what's in Obamacare."
When Drudge produced an IRS form encouraging payment of 2014 Obama tax penalties as small businesses file quarterly taxes, Drudge cleared his good name. However, Stoddard pointed out that the White House spokesman looked like a fool. She elaborated that with young voters already thinking, "Wait a minute, they didn't know how to create a website," this is just another reason for millennials to roll their eyes as they move even further away from Obamacare and ultimately Obama.
One of the Drudge reporters, Joseph Curl, echoed the opinion that Democrats would not be able to escape the consequences of botching Obamacare in midterm elections. Curl predicted a "tsunami set to surge" in November. (Refer to: "A Drudge editor report: Who will win, Democrats or GOP, in elections 2014?")
Enrollment outcome for Obamacare is April's Fool Day. In November, Obama will find out whether the legacy of Obamacare is a turn-over of power in Congress.
Is there time for positive changes in Obamacare that can flip things around for Obama? Perhaps, however majority opinion has soured substantially since the healthcare act was passed four years ago. The following short exchange about Obamacare between two eighty-somethings, recently overheard at a popular Texas mall, indicates that changing public opinion in seven months might be difficult:
Obamacare shore ain't lived up to whut it was s'posed to be.
Nope, and I'll tell you unuther thang -- it ain't a'gittin' any better.

Ah, family camping! Although a summer tradition among many in Utah's outdoor mecca, all of the planning and packing for varied conditions can be overwhelming to the point of trip abandonment. As an alternative, Moab Under Canvas invites you to experience a weekend in the wilderness without sacrificing sanity—or your slippers.
Glamping, or glamourous camping, allows vacationers to stay in the wild while having all of the luxury of a hotel. This glamping destination offers breakfast and coffee delivered right to your tent flaps, whether it be the Deluxe, the Safari, or tipi-style quarters you inhabit. Smaller tipis can be moved next to the larger suites to create a structure with multiple rooms.
Seven miles north of Moab, with camp landscape views of Arches National Park, Moab Under Canvas provides full private bathrooms, king-sized beds and private patios, 4-person tents with mattress-padded cots and sleeping bags. No matter where you choose to rest your head, the linens are provided—no need to air out and re-stuff gear bags before setting out to recharge.
Picnic lunches are available by order, as well as an Arches guided sunset experience, complete with beverage and hors d'oeuvres. Dogs are happily welcomed as guests at an added pet fee of $25 for up to two well-attended canines.
While you're there, take part in activities like hot air balloon rides, rafting down the Colorado river, rock climbing, guided hiking or mountain biking, and Hummer tours or Jeep rentals. Moab Adventure Center provides the guides and activities provided for campers, but the surrounding public land allows for guests to hike or bike right from the camp.
"It was not a tough choice to bring Under Canvas to Moab, with stunning rock formations, and a gorgeous desert setting and opportunities for outdoor adventure galore," says Sarah Dusek, who co-owns the Under Canvas franchise, including a luxury camp in Yellowstone, with husband Jake Dusek. "We couldn't wait to develop a desert glamping experience!"
Opening for it's first summer season on June 21, Moab Under Canvas is a great destination for those who want the camping trip without "roughing it."
Contact Moab Under Canvas for reservations or more information by visiting moabundercanvas.com, or call 801-895-3213.

April 4, 2013
Canton, Ohio (SMU) - SMU Hall of Famer and pro football legend Forrest Gregg will be recognized by the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Allstate Insurance Company in Sulphur Springs, Texas, on Monday, April 8, as part of "Hometown Hall of Famers," a national program honoring the hometown roots of the sport's greatest coaches, players, and contributors with special ceremonies and plaque dedication events in local communities.
"'Hometown Hall of Famers' has been warmly embraced by communities and Hall of Famers alike," said George Veras, Pro Football Hall of Fame Enterprises president and CEO. "We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Allstate to bring the Pro Football Hall of Fame to communities across the country and congratulate Forrest Gregg and Sulphur Springs High School on bringing a piece of the Pro Football Hall of Fame to Sulphur Springs."
Gregg, a former high school standout at Sulphur Springs High School, will be presented with his "Hometown Hall of Famer" plaque during a special ceremony at 2:45 p.m. CT on Monday, April 8, at the Hopkins County Civic Center. The plaque will live permanently at Sulphur Springs High School to serve as an inspiration for the school's students and athletes. The presentation will be made by Karen Spehar, Gregg's daughter, and local radio personality, Bill Bradford.
The ceremony will be attended by Sulphur Springs High School students, faculty, staff, alumni and Gregg's family members and close friends. Mike Lamb Superintendent of Sulphur Springs Independent School District will serve as the Master of Ceremonies.
In addition to the plaque, a commemorative Forrest Gregg "Hometown Hall of Famer" road sign will be on display in Sulphur Springs.
After high school, Gregg went on to play football on the Hilltop, lettering 1953-1955, before starting his NFL career. He later returned to SMU as head football coach (1989-90) and athletic director (1990-94) and was inducted into SMU's Athletic Hall of fame in 2008.
Gregg was a second-round draft pick of the Green Bay Packers in the 1956 NFL Draft. Gregg earned an "iron-man" tag by playing in a then league record 188 consecutive games from 1956 until 1971. As the Packers grew in stature in the 1960s, so too did Gregg. He was a key player on the Packers dynasty that won five NFL championships and two Super Bowls in the 1960s. He also won All-NFL acclaim eight straight years from 1960 through 1967, was selected to play in nine Pro Bowls and was heralded by Head Coach Vince Lombardi as "the finest player I ever coached." Gregg spent his final season with the Super Bowl-bound Dallas Cowboys and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977.


text: All testing was halted for a thorough investigation of this so-called electromagnetic incident. The inspection, completed on September 2, revealed no physical markings of any kind but disclosed a number of failed components, mostly in aerospace ground equipment (AGE) with some in GLV-2. This indicated that complex 19 had not been hit directly; damage was attributed to the electromagnetic effects of a nearby lightning strike or to resulting static charges. A recovery plan was prepared to restore confidence in all launch vehicle systems, AGE, ground instrumentation equipment, and facility systems. All components containing semiconductors were replaced, and all tests were to be conducted again as if GLV-2 had just arrived at Eastern Test Range.

Welcome to the inaugural Forensic Femmes blog post! As I wrote many months ago, the purpose of this series is to highlight the many contributions women are making to the DF/IR community, whether we know them or not.
My first guest is Alissa Torres, who recently joined Mandiant's team as an incident handler along with being a SANS Mentor and instructor. Here, Alissa talks about why she thinks crosstraining is important, what led her to SANS, what women should never do when entering a STEM profession, and the successes that keep her going.
Christa: Your lecture topic at the SANS DFIR Summit garnered a lot of very positive tweets. What experiences in your career led you to want to talk about crosstraining?
Alissa: Speaking at the SANS DFIR Summit was an honor – probably the best presenter experience I have had to date due to the support of the community and the attendees in the room. The Summit is unique in that everyone who is there is passionate about DFIR – it actually took someone pointing out to me that most of our after-hours conversations were geek speak – I didn't notice honestly!
So, why did I talk about crosstraining? I have had the opportunity to work at some very different jobs, to include being a forensics examiner on a security operations team and more recently, playing a key role on an offensive skills team. Looking at network compromises and being able to understand both the attacker's perspective and that of the responder offers great advantages in unraveling what happened on a compromised system.
My own realizations that I hoped to have shared were 1.) you have to know what a normal system looks like to identify anomalies and 2.) familiarity with other disciplines of security, be it pentesting or system administration, enhances your depth of knowledge and skill as an incident responder.
Christa: How did you get into DFIR to begin with?
Alissa: I first became interested in forensics when I was an instructor at DCITA (Defense Cyber Investigations Training Academy). Although I was teaching the introduction to hardware & networking course (INCH), I was surrounded by forensics and IR professionals who knew so much more than me. During this time, I was able to pelt my co-workers with daily questions – I can't say enough about the camaraderie of the instructor staff there at the time. While I was at DCITA, I obtained my EnCE and moved from there to a job at a defense contractor performing internal employee investigations.
Christa: What drove you to become a SANS mentor?
Alissa: When I took FOR508 with Hal Pomeranz in Baltimore, I was a work-study facilitator, paying for the training out of my own pocket. My company had denied additional training for me and it was truly the only way I had to attend this advanced forensics course.
To say the course was life-changing sounds pretty ridiculous, but it is true – I realized on Day 5 of that course that I could become an active researcher in the forensics community instead of looking everything up online, I could contribute with my own knowledge and experience that not everyone has. The field of forensics/incident response is so young and expansive that not everyone can know everything, the perfect environment for collaboration and freedom to follow your interests.
So, considering what a great impact FOR508 had on me (and my previous experience as an instructor!), I decided to study my butt off and do well on the GCFA. If you score over 85 on the certification exam, you are invited to apply to the mentor program.
Christa: What one piece of advice would you give another woman seeking to get into DFIR (or any STEM profession)?
Alissa: My advice to other women just entering the field is to never self-deprecate. Someone may hear you and just might believe your humble assessment of yourself. You need to realize that everyone started off somewhere, even the "Old Man of Forensics" (whomever that may be) and it does no good to state that you are "inferior" because you are new/junior/inexperienced.
One of the women in my class recently said to me in front of the rest of her male classmates, "My mind doesn't work that way. I am not as good as everyone else here." She was one of 2 women in the room of 20 and although she never signed up to represent our gender, she indeed was doing just that.
Since there is such a small percentage of us in the security field, and even less as you delve into the more technical jobs, we must always acknowledge and bear the responsibility of this. I am a firm believer in the idea "No one knows what a woman isn't capable of." Other women may feel I am wrong on this, but I have run into this "women can't do as much" mentality first hand.
After the presentation of the MMA Challenge that my co-worker and I presented at CEIC 2012, I was approached by two male attendees who exclaimed "We were surprised that a woman would know so much." in reference to my ability to speak to both the forensics and offensive realms. It is this attitude that tells me that I still have a great deal left to accomplish.
Christa: What has been your greatest challenge in your career? What has been your greatest success?
Alissa: One of my biggest challenges in my career, as well as my life, has been to balance my desires to be the best at my job and to be the best Mom to my kids. While in the Marine Corps, I learned quickly that talking about one's family can be seen as a sign of weakness. I still see negative ramifications for women who discuss their family and personal obligations (kids, mainly) in the workplace. So, yes, unfortunately, I am divided down the middle sometimes between "uber-driven cyber warrior" and "super soccer mom", both completely ridiculous titles!
I am sure most working women feel this conflict, at some point, whether their personal lives include kids or marathon training or any other arduous, "soul-sucking" hobby. 🙂 But, kids have a way of holding you accountable and my biggest and most constant challenge has been in being present for them when they need me.
My greatest professional success, as of yet, has been finding others who share a similar passion for information security. What a fantastic community we have! Finding folks who understand and share the drive to keep learning, keep asking questions, has been key to my progress. It is unique to our industry, that things change on a daily basis. Without surrounding myself with like-minded people, I would have burned out a long time ago.
Alissa, thanks so much for the thoughtful responses, for taking the time to write them, and for all your contributions to the DF/IR community!

"Business as usual at Huish Park"
Any speculation surrounding the future of Gary Johnson at Yeovil Town has been dismissed by the club chairman, John Fry.
It followed concerns after the manager turned up late to the Portsmouth match and delegated his duties to his assistant, following his disappointment after the transfer deadline.
Gary Johnson has since told ITV News West Country that he remains committed to the club.
Today he met the chairman on his return from holiday and they have agreed that "communication problems'" were behind any perceived difficulties he had on Transfer Deadline Day last Monday, 1 September.
Gary Johnson speaks to ITV about his future at Yeovil
Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson insists he remains committed to the club after speaking publicly for the first time since doubts were raised over his future.
Johnson admits he was unhappy with the Glovers' board of directors after they failed to finance three transfers earlier this week but was back at the training ground today (Thursday 4 September).
Here is his full interview with our Sports Reporter. Chris Spittles reports.
Uncertain future for Yeovil Town manager
There has been speculation surrounding the future of Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson after he turned up late to last night's game.
This morning he has issued the following statement.
Gary Johnson wins at Football League Awards
Yeovil Town manager, Gary Johnson has won the Football Manager Outstanding Managerial Achievement Award at The Football League Awards 2014.
Johnson received the award at the gala ceremony on Sunday evening.
This year a total of 36 clubs were shortlisted for 17 awards and Johnson beat off competition from Chesterfield's Paul Cook and AFC Bournemouth's Eddie Howe.
"It feels great to win this award tonight, it's a fantastic achievement for our club. There are so many unsung heroes at Yeovil Town that also deserve this."
"They were trying to get in the league for 108 years and we got it 10 years ago and we've had a fantastic decade in the Football League."
"When we got our promotion from the Conference to the Football League you wouldn't think we would get to the Championship by now, and to do it via Wembley was fantastic."
"There are only 40,000 people in Yeovil and we took 25,000 to the match. I'm accepting this award on behalf of everyone associated with the club."
Full report: Yeovil Town keep Gary Johnson on for two more years
Yeovil Town have followed up their historic promotion to the Championship by tying manager, Gary Johnson, down to a new two-year contract.
It's just over two weeks since the 57-year-old helped the Glovers secure a place in English football's second tier next season following a play-off final win at Wembley.
Matthias Kurth reports:
Words from Gary Johnson at press conference
Speaking at a press conference at Huish Park earlier, Gary Johnson said:
"Who wouldn't want to be a part of what we've achieved" says Johnson
Johnson, Skiverton and Way all sign new deals
Gary Johnson has signed a new two-year contract to remain as manager of Yeovil Town.
Yeovil's assistant manager Terry Skiverton and coach Darren Way have also agreed new deals with the club to stay until the summer of 2015.
Johnson set to sign new Yeovil contract
Yeovil Town are expected to announce today that Gary Johnson has signed a new contract to continue as manager.
The media has been invited to a news conference at Huish Park this morning.
Last season Johnson guided the Glovers to promotion to the Championship, English football's second tier, for the first time.
Johnson versus Johnson in League One clash
Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson comes up against his son Lee who manages Oldham tonight.
Both men are desperate for three points, with Yeovil fourth in league One and still in with a chance of winning automatic promotion, while Oldham are only one point above the relegation zone.
The majority of their football careers have been together, however. With Gary as manager and Lee as his player, they achieved two promotions in four seasons at Yeovil and another promotion, as well as a play-off final, at Bristol City.
Gary Johnson is now back at Huish Park for his second stint in charge and at 31, Lee became the youngest manager in the Football League when Oldham appointed him last month. We asked them both about having to face each other across the dugouts.

The producers of the Off-Broadway show Love, Loss, and What I Wore spent the past several weeks reviewing submissions from women around the country about their most memorable piece of clothing. Two lucky winners will have their monologue performed on the show's New York stage on Mother's Day, Sunday, May 8th.
We had a chance to catch up with the original two playwrights, sisters Nora and Delia Ephron, who, naturally, had something to say about their favorite pieces of clothing.
We love the show! So, we're dying to know…what's your most memorable piece of clothing and why?
Delia Ephron: My greatest emotional attachment -- the raspberry silk sweater I was wearing when I fell in love with my husband. Loved that sweater. A lacy weave, V neck. Loose and moved a bit on its own. I miss it right now. (I was so entranced in this candlelit restaurant, I didn't notice that my menu had caught fire, but fortunately not me and fortunately not the sweater.) I love that raspberry color so much, I am always looking for it, but perhaps I am also looking for the amazing feeling I had that night.
Nora Ephron: I used to buy the most wonderful dresses that Rudi Gernreich designed for Harmon Knitwear. They were the essence of the 1960's, short, adorable, form-fitting. Stripes, polka dots, bright colors. They fit me perfectly and they made me realize that my body, which I had always found fault with, was actually perfect for the clothes of the moment ... and for clothes in general. I loved those dresses. One of my favorites was on sale on Ebay recently for $1500 (at the time, they cost about $68) and I swear I almost bought it even though it wasn't my size and I would never have worn it.
The show has invited fan submissions for Mother's Day - why do you think so many mothers and daughters enjoy Love, Loss, and What I Wore together?
DE: A million reasons. Moms and daughters shop together -- Bonding, bonding, bonding. Nora always points out that choosing our clothes is one of the first things we get to do. When we can't choose what to eat or practically anything else we get to pick what we want to wear that morning. When we're teenagers, the battle to separate -- to make it absolutely clear that we are not our parents -- plays itself out in what we wear.. And our mothers are full of opinions -- of fashion dos and don'ts. Our mother always said, Never buy a red coat. I went right out and bought an orange one and a lime green one (which was the same as buying red if you know what i mean).
NE: When we were writing the show, we asked a lot of friends to tell us about their clothes, and of course they told us about their mothers. Mothers are the most important fact for women anyway, but you constantly connect (or fail to connect) with your mother over clothes. You connect and you separate. Your mother forbids you to wear stockings -- or she gives you your first pair. She gives you brilliant advice -- or she's all wrong and how could you possibly have listened to her?
DE: When we were very young, we had these identical outfits. Chinese mandarin collared shirts, ruffled skirts with midriff tops, black velvet dresses with lace around the collars, the matching bathing suits with terrycloth robes. Our mom was really into that, even though she wasn't into shopping. And she sent us off alone as soon as it was possible.
We saw men in the audience enjoying the monologues (the purse one is particularly hilarious), but why do you think men don't put sentimentality on their clothing?
DE: With men, it's love, loss and what I drove. Or they associate the major moments in their lives with music. Lots of men remember the music. Also I don't think men do that thing women do, which is reinvent themselves with clothing. Also, let's face it, women's clothes are a lot more fun.
