Former Jets assistant Sal Alosi speaks about his new role
With the Miami Dolphins making their first trip to the Meadowlands next Monday since last December's Tripgate, I reached out to Sal Alosi this week to see if he'd talk.
Alosi, of course, is the former strength and conditioning coordinator for the New York Jets who infamously stuck out his knee on the sideline and tripped Dolphins gunner Nolan Carroll in punt coverage.
After initially denying any wrongdoing, Alosi quickly owned up to his gross error in judgment and was soon suspended and ultimately released by the team. Jets coach Rex Ryan continued to back Alosi even after he was let go, and sure enough Alosi has landed on his feet, albeit at a much lower level than the NFL, where he spent nine seasons with the Jets and Falcons.
Alosi, a former Hofstra linebacker from 1996-2000, was hired this summer as the overall strength and conditioning coach for Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I., just outside of Providence. Bryant's football program is in its fourth and final year of transitioning to Division I, and the Bulldogs are off to a 4-2 start under eighth-year coach Marty Fine.
Unfortunately, school officials have denied my interview request, issuing instead the following statements from Alosi and athletic director Bill Smith:
"I am grateful for the opportunity that President [Ronald K.] Machtley and Bill Smith have given me here at Bryant University," Alosi said in his statement. "I have moved on from what occurred in the past, and I am grateful for the chance to work with all of the student-athletes here at Bryant."
Machtley, a Republican, is a former three-term U.S. Representative (1989-95) from Rhode Island who made an unsuccessful bid for Governor of Rhode Island in 1995. He has been president since 1996 at Bryant, a private school with a total enrollment of about 5,000.
Bryant, incidentally, has been voted the Safest Campus in the United States by Seventeen magazine. (Carroll might disagree.)
Added Smith: "Following the departure of our previous strength and conditioning coach just prior to preseason, we were contacted by Sal in regards to the position. After speaking with him directly, we are certain we hired not only an outstanding strength coach to work with our student-athletes, but also an outstanding individual.
"Sal has moved on in his career, accepting all responsibilities from the past, and in just a short time has already made significant improvements in the areas of strength and conditioning with our teams."
The Bulldogs, coming off a 42-7 win over Stonehill, play host to Monmouth on Saturday during Parents and Family Weekend.
Monmouth, ironically, is located a short drive from the New Jersey Meadowlands, where Alosi used to work and last Dec. 12 made a mistake he'll no doubt regret for the rest of his life.

Women in Tony's world
Good morning Parliament, welcome to the team. Rocco Fazzari and Denis Carnahan give Skyhooks' classic a twist.PT0M0S 620 349
Let's get one thing absolutely straight – Tony Abbott has no problem with women and their rightful place in the world.
In fact, he has deployed his daughters and wife to enhance his electability.
Furthermore, Tony doesn't mind complimenting his supporters on their sex appeal and attractiveness, although admittedly not many have been picked for his cabinet.
This is clearly an unfortunate oversight after a busy couple of weeks.
With the aid of resident songbird Denis Carnahan, our animation looks at "Women in Tony's World".

Liverpool have completed the signing of Victor Moses on a season-long loan.
The Nigerian international passed a medical at Melwood on Monday after Jose Mourinho decided he was surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.
Moses told the Anfield club's website: "First and foremost, I'm delighted to have made the loan from Chelsea to a big club like Liverpool.
"The most important thing is for me to be professional about it and I'm here to do a job for the club.
"The target is to get into the top four and for the club to compete in the Champions League - and I'm delighted to be here.
"There are a lot of quality players here - they're winning games and creating chances. It's a massive thing for me to be here."
Moses began his career at Crystal Palace before spending two years with Wigan. He joined Chelsea in the January 2012 and went on to make 42 appearances for the club, scoring 10 goals.
The 22-year-old is the third deal to be concluded by Liverpool in the last 24 hours following the earlier announcements of defenders Tiago Ilori and Mamadou Sakho.

Tree falls onto El Cajon Boulevard in El Cajon, hitting vehicle
No injuries reported after melaleuca tree falls
EL CAJON, Calif. - A melaleuca tree fell onto El Cajon Boulevard in El Cajon, hitting a vehicle passing by but causing no injuries.
The incident was reported at about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 400 block of El Cajon Boulevard, near Chamberlain Avenue, according to El Cajon city spokeswoman Monica Zech.
The driver of the vehicle that was hit was not injured. 10News spoke with the driver, Chris Andrews, minutes after the tree fell on his truck.
"I'm fine, yeah," said Andrews. "Just a little kind of surprised that a tree is going to fall right in my way. It's been a windy day but I didn't realize it was that windy."
Miraculously, Andrews was able to pull over and walk away unscathed.
His truck was not as lucky. He showed 10News his smashed windshield and the dent on the roof of his cab. Branches of the paperbark tree were still stuck in his windshield wipers and in the bed of the truck.
"It hit the windshield and kind of bounced over the truck," Andrews said. "But when I came and looked, it was just dry rot. Nobody was cutting a tree down. There was nobody doing anything."
Surveillance video from the Blue Tattoo Cafe shows the moment the tree fell down. Watch the clip below:
The downed tree blocked two lanes of the roadway for a couple of hours. Crews with the city's Public Works Department were able to remove the tree and open all lanes as of about 7 p.m.
10News showed the surveillance video to master arborist Brad Brown.
"Whoa … and it wasn't even windy out, was it?" he asked.
Brown says it is rare to see a melaleuca tree, which is part of the eucalyptus family, fall like this one did.
"Based on the shadow and the tree, it didn't seem like it had an unusual form or any structural defect," he added. "It's very rare for a tree to fall and it's unusual. It's a surprising video."
It was a surprise to Andrews as well.
"I am just glad I'm not injured," he added.

CLEVELAND — In the midst of a celebratory clubhouse Sunday at Target Field, deposed closer Chris Perez broke his media silence. It seemed like a fitting occasion.
"You can't put it into words, especially after what happened last year," Perez said of the Indians clinching their first postseason berth since 2007. "I think you have to give tons of credit to our front office. They made some really smart signings, really good trades.
"I could care less what I've done this year. We got our goal. We're in the playoffs. It's been a magical year."
For Perez, it's been a tumultuous one, to say the least.
The two-time All-Star began the season with an injured right shoulder, spent time on the disabled list and was arrested on a misdemeanor drug charge. His performance on the field was subpar, especially over the last two months, resulting in him being yanked from the closer role with three games left in the regular season.
"It's been an unfortunate year for me personally, with the injury and the off-the-field issue," said Perez, who is 5-3 with a 4.33 ERA in 54 games and has converted 25-of-30 save opportunities. "It's just been one of those years. It is what it is.
"I'm in a slump and it came at the worst time of the year. If this would have happened in April or May, yeah, it would (stink), but it would be kind of under the radar. Games are magnified in September, especially when you're in it. All I can do is work. I feel good. I'm physically good. It's just a little mechanical adjustment I need to make. I've had a rough couple months, but you can't pick when that's going to happen. This game can humble you fast."
Francona made the decision to take the ball from Perez in the ninth inning, but the right-hander said he made the suggestion when he visited the manager's office after a rough outing Thursday in the series opener against the Twins.
"I'm here to help the team," said Perez, who has saved 124 games for the Indians since joining them in a trade during the 2009 season. "I went into Tito's office the other night and said, 'I'm not going to cost this team a playoff spot. We need to make a change right now. We've got four or five guys throwing the (crap) out of the ball. I don't have an ego. Make the change.' And he did. And that's fine."
Comeback Kaz
Scott Kazmir said he wants to return to Cleveland, and it's a safe bet the Indians would welcome him back with open arms.
"I would love to," said Kazmir, who is a strong candidate for American League Comeback Player of the Year, going 10-9 with a 4.04 ERA in 29 starts after spending last season pitching in the Independent League. "The staff, all the way up the organization. It's a first-class organization. The teammates that I have, there's great chemistry. I would love to come back for sure."
Kazmir said he and the Indians talked contract briefly before both decided to table discussions until the end of the year.
Banged-up Bourn
Michael Bourn returned to the lineup Saturday after missing three games with a jammed right wrist, only to leave Sunday's game after injuring his calf on a stolen base attempt in the ninth inning.
Bourn was walking fine during the postgame celebration and said he expected to play in the wild-card game Wednesday.
Roundin' third
The Indians became just the sixth team in Major League history to end the regular season on a 10-game winning streak, with the Orioles last accomplishing as much in 1971.
• Cleveland recorded its seventh four-game sweep of the season to become the first team since the 1943 Cardinals to accomplish the feat.

Michael K. Cole, Jr.
Michael Cole 2016 Congressional Candidate Texas District 36
Biography of Michael Cole from Michael Cole for Congress
I was born in 1976 at Fort Lewis Army Base in Washington State to military parents. Soon after that, my family moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, where many of my relatives still live.
I have lived in Orange, Texas, since I was five years old. I attended West Orange Stark High School and graduated in 1994. I am currently in college with the ultimate goal of earning a Doctorate in History and a degree in Space Sciences.
I am an educator at Little Cypress-Mauriceville, where I work with students that have discipline issues. I also sponsor the Chess Team and the Robotics Team
When I was younger, I wanted a career in the United States Navy; however I was diagnosed in 1990 with Type One Diabetes that made a service career impossible. I have also worked in the retail and restaurant industry, but love education since it allows me to talk about my passions, history and space.
Politically I have been active since a young age, having run for School Board Trustee in 1994 while still a senior in High School and as a candidate for the United States Congress in 2012.
Five years ago, I began to fight a foot infection that eventually led to me losing my right foot below the knee. I do not let this stop me; the prosthetic has reminded me how precious everyday of my life truly is. I hope to improve my bicycle riding and enter into a marathon. I will not allow this to slow me down. This has also taught me how or health care system needs work. Without insurance, there was no way that I could have afforded these treatments; without insurance, i would have lost my life and not just my foot.
I met the love of my life, Franchesca Cole, over ten years ago. She was born in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico in 1981; she works at Lamar State College-Orange and has a Bachelors in Business. We have been married since August 2003. I currently have two dogs.

Refreshing and a Bit Modern
The living room has also been our favorite spot to unwind, so we wanted it to feel refreshing and a bit modern, while still playing up its vintage appeal. We went with a soothing sea foam green for the walls, mixed with neutral, cool colors for the modern furniture. Little splashes of personality like our yellow 60's lamp, sofa pillows, and antique paisley-shaped coffee table give the place a quirky, inviting touch.

I am trying to become more effective in my study habits and in my case, I feel that attending classes is a huge waste of my time. The lecturer just keeps writing formulas on the board and to be honest, I am simply too busy just rewriting all those symbols to really understand what is being taught. I only really understand when I slowly go through the textbook and do the exercises.
Perhaps it is just my learning style, but I have the impression that only one or two students are really following the math lectures (and they are probably the ones who carefully read the material before the lecture), and the rest are just a bunch of robots attending because they have been told that they have to, or are afraid to miss some important hints for the exam. But I feel that spending that much time in class just to get an edge in an exam is quite ineffective.
It seems to point out that the best way to take advantage of the lectures is to get acquainted with the material first. But I am not sure if this is the most effective way to go. Isn't that more time consuming this way because once you understand the concept from the book, you would not need another hour to expose the same concepts and examples again. And reading a book is much more time consuming than an lecture. Or does it really help to reinforce the material and fill some gaps in understanding? Hard to say.
So, is a lecture meant mostly as a complement or substitute for reading the textbook?
Do I have to admit that I am too stupid to follow the lectures and write what is on the board at the same time?

Girls' Lacrosse: 2013 North Preview
You don't often hear words like "perfect" over a period of several years associated with team sports.
But that's just what the North Hills High girls lacrosse team has been for the past two years.
Twenty-and-0 in 2011. Twenty-and-0 in 2012. And, oh by the way, successive WPIAL Division II championships.
Both titles came at the expense of the same team, Chartiers Valley. The Indians won the 2011 title, and followed that up with a nail-biting 11-10 victory in 2012. North Hills was ranked fifth by Laxpower.com out of 34 teams competing in Western Pennsylvania. The four teams ranked ahead of the Indians played a Division I schedule.
North Hills will play a 10-game regular-season schedule this season against teams from its own section, Division II, Section 3. The Indians will meet Butler Area, Hampton, Knoch, Shaler Area and Vincentian Academy. The Indians open the season on April 2 at Vincentian Academy. The only way the Indians would see Chartiers Valley would be in the playoffs. One big difference will be on the bench as James Cassandro succeeds Rachel Hoza, the team's coach for the past three seasons.
Division I: Pine-Richland had a magical playoff run that saw the Rams defeat Oakland Catholic 14-6 in the quarterfinals and Shady Side Academy 16-11 in the semifinals of the WPIAL Division I tournament a year ago. But the Rams' ride for WPIAL top honors came to an end with a heartbreaking 21-18 loss to Peters Township i the championship game. The Rams then defeated State College 16-9 in a first-round PIAA game before falling to Penn Manor 12-10 in the quarterfinals.
Pine-Richland finished with a 17-4 record and was ranked No. 2 in Laxpower.com's final rankings for girls teams. The only team ranked ahead of them was Peters Township.
For Pine-Richland to make a return to the WPIAL playoffs, the Rams must navigate a formidable field. Besides the Rams, four other teams from Division I, Section 2 were ranked among the top 12 teams by Laxpower.com. Shady Side Academy, Seneca Valley, Quaker Valley and Sewickley Academy were in the Top Ten. North Allegheny was ranked No. 12. All of those teams are in the same section again this season along wtih Fox Chapel and Franklin Regional. It figures to be a very good section.
Senior midfielder Christine Palmieri of North Allegheny and Lia Winter, a senior midfielder at Shady Side Academy, are two of the top players in the area.

Mac mini updated with HDMI, aluminum unibody, and SD card readerPosted on June 15, 2010 | No CommentsHDMI-out is finally included, along with an SD card reader, 802.11n wireless, a Mini DisplayPort jack, and what Apple claims is a doubling of graphics performance thanks to an NVIDIA GeForce 320M chip inside. Then again, when you double a little, you still end up with not much. The newly polished nettop is a minimalist 1.4 inches tall, but manages to fit all the power circuitry inside, which means (yay!) there'll be no power brick to spoil your hipster desk space.
Don't fret if you were looking to drop the optical drive, Apple retains the config option that allows you to add in a second HDD in lieu of its DVD burner. You can grab two 500GB plate spinners, Snow Leopard Server (we thought Apple only had one OS version?), 4GB of RAM, and a 2.66GHz Intel chip for $999. Finally, the new enclosures will come with user-accessible memory slots courtesy of a removable panel at the bottom of the case. Neat that the designers didn't take the unibody idea too literally.

iPhone 4 does 720p HD video, iMoviePosted on June 7, 2010 | No CommentsA backside-illuminated 5 megapixel sensor is about to grace the new iPhone's rear, equipped with an LED flash and 720p / 30fps video recording. Tap to focus will also be rolled out in the iPhone Quattro, and Steve Jobs is keen to impress on us all that although the megapixel count has grown, the quality of images has apparently improved. That's what they all say. The added functionality of iMovie won't come for free, however, with Apple asking a $4.99 tithe for granting access to its more sophisticated video editing options. This is moving things along, to be sure, but why is the upper limit of storage still 32GB? A more generous apportionment of memory would've gone very nicely indeed with that HD video mode.

The next Apple TV revealed: cloud storage and iPhone OS on tap… and a $99 price tagPosted on May 28, 2010 | No Commentsdigg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/The_next_Apple_TV_revealed_cloud_storage_iPhone_OS_99'; If you thought that Apple's foray into the world of home entertainment died with the last iteration of the Apple TV, you're quite wrong. A tip we've received -- which has been confirmed by a source very close to Apple -- details the outlook for the next version of the Apple TV, and it's a doozy. According to our sources, this project has been in the works long before Google announced its TV solution, and it ties much more closely into Apple's mobile offerings. The new architecture of the device will be based directly on the iPhone 4, meaning it will get the same internals, down to that A4 CPU and a limited amount of flash storage -- 16GB to be exact -- though it will be capable of full 1080p HD (!). The device is said to be quite small with a scarce amount of ports (only the power socket and video out), and has been described to some as "an iPhone without a screen." Are you ready for the real shocker? According to our sources, the price-point for the device will be $99. One more time -- a hundred bucks.
Not only will this be priced to sell (like hotcakes), it seems that Apple is moving away from the model of local storage, and will be focusing the new ATV on cloud-based storage (not unlike Amazon's streaming scheme, though we're talking instant-on 1080p, a la Microsoft). For those still interested in keeping their content close, there will be an option to utilize a Time Capsule as an external storage component, but the main course will be all about streaming. The new ATV will do away with its current OS X-lite variation as a operating system, and will instead adopt the iPhone OS for the underlying experience. There's no word at this point on whether apps and the App Store will be coming along for the ride, but it makes sense given the shared platform. Of course, scaling iPhone apps to that 52-inch plasma in your living room isn't exactly a no-brainer. Perhaps not surprisingly, Apple won't deliver the ATV news at the upcoming WWDC -- that event will be focused on the capabilities of the new iPhone -- but development on the product is most definitely full steam ahead. Is your TV screen the next battleground in the platform wars? Survey says: hell yes.

In a German interview for Neon Magazine, Beyonce appears to let loose with a lot of personal information. The interview was done was in German and translated to English so it's not clear how much of the dialogue was lost in translation. At times Beyonce appears defensive, while the interviewer came off as brass and extremely rude.
In the Magazine, Beyonce admits that she does have a prenup with her husband Jay-Z and that it is a smart thing for a woman to do. According to the interviewer, if they separate after two years, one of them will receive $10 million dollars. For each year of marriage after that time, an additional one million dollars is added to the pot. Although, it is not clear who will receive this money. One translation claims that it is Beyonce who will have to pay and another one claims that Jay-Z will receive the money.
Here is the translated interview:
Interviewer: With your early hits "No No No (Part II)" and "Survivor" You sang the independence and autonomy of modern women. Today, you seem to only perform on MTV, if you get at least three prices. And if you want to shop unencumbered you send a doppelganger to the museum.
Beyonce: In the double act they are the joke of a radio station with whom I had nothing to do. In addition, you start from the completely wrong assumptions. You should take extra tuition.
Interviewer: Doesn't it make you sad, that you can't even go shopping, to experience no normal life?
Beyonce: Why should it? Because I don't have to arguing with any cashiers? In addition, changing the basic feelings do not matter whether you are rich or poor. The dimensions ever push themselves. But whether the pride of a young woman was injured because her office colleague was promoted because her classmate did a better exam or because another singer in Australia is more popular than they – there will always be injuries. And there will always be women who are from these injuries can be angry, furious strength, pride of strength – and perhaps out of pride, a good song.
"The feelings do not change – whether rich or poor"
Interviewer: You talking about the singer PINK who performed nearly sixty times in Australia this year and made nearly a new world record?
Beyonce: You're a rogue. Just to get back out: I love Fendi, I do not know what a pack of butter costs and still I am a good singer! The idea that one must necessarily from below or from the absolute population average, are coming, maybe even out of the gutter and stay there to continue to write a play or sing to you, excites me.
Interviewer: Is your life easier since you are multimillionaire?
Beyonce: The fear of the student, have no future, being dependent on her boyfriend, objectively weigh heavier than the fears that torment me. Only music from subjective feeling arises – and subjective fears, many musicians have lost. We feel pain and depression, just like other people. What separates us, is perhaps the price of butter. But all that is essential, I feel like every hard working woman.
Interviewer: For example?
Beyonce: For example, I believe that in my relationship with Jay-Z – as in any genuine relationship – not everything is easy. I want children – not now, later. He's entirely not aware of that fact yet. I want to sit around at home, also times in a tracksuit pants. He assumes and believes that women even wear high heels just to go to the bathroom.
Interviewer: Apparently Jay-Z has to pay you ,in the case of a separation after two years of marriage, ten million dollars, for each additional year of marriage is added an additional one million.
Beyonce: Anyone who thinks so because of what? I do not deny that there is a marriage contract. I would encourage any woman getting married to put on such a treaty, it will gain more influence on self-esteem. For details, I don't express myself . I am not here on trial.
Interviewer: Beyoncé Knowles, 28?
Beyonce: I won my first talent contest with seven, got a record deal with fifteen, and started through with 21 solo. After earning more than 10 Grammys , singing at Obama's swearing in, there is only one objective: I want to win an Oscar.
I like: Maple syrup – my cat "Master P" – the "Multi Color Convertible Bag" by Fendi
I dislike: greedy white producers – anonymous posts on the net – bitchy people

One of the foodie highlights of the recent BlogHer09 conference was seeing Rick Bayless do a cooking demonstration at the National Pork Board's booth.
I've been a fan of Rick's since I first saw his PBS cooking show, Mexico–One Plate at a Time, about nine years ago. It was when we first moved into our house, before the satellite TV was hooked up.
Only the local PBS station would come through, and I had nothing to do all day but sit on the couch with a very pukey nine month old. Thank god for Rick's and Julia Child's cooking shows – they got me through a lot of boring afternoons.
My family and I have reconnected with Rick via Bravo's show, Top Chef Masters. I like the show much better than the regular Top Chef since the chefs are much more professional, supportive and the only drama is in the kitchen and during the cooking. Rick's blogging about his experience on the show at Root4Rick.com – check it out.
Rick demonstrated a pork tenderloin with mango salsa recipe at the conference. For those doing Weight Watchers, 1 ounce of pork tenderloin is equal to 1 Weight Watchers POINT and 1 small mango is 2 points. So when figuring out portions, I'd weigh out the meat and add a point or two for the salsa, depending on how much you put on the meat. Serve with some steamed veggies, brown rice or a salad on the side.
Chamoy-Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Mango Salsa
Recipe courtesy of Rick Bayless on behalf of the National Pork Board
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 2 pounds)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
- salt and pepper
Chamoy Sauce
- 2-3 dried morita chiles (available in the Hispanic section of your grocery store)
- 1 10-ounce jar of 100% apricot fruit spread (Cascadian Farm makes a 100% organic version)
- 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup sugar (try substituting agave nectar for the sugar)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 mangos (about 1 pound) peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 jicama (about 1 pound) peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped without the bottom stems
- 1 medium red onion, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- Toast chilies on a dry medium-hot skillet, pressing them flat, until they are aromatic, 10 seconds per side.
- Scoop into a bowl, cover with hot tap water, and rehydrate 30 minutes, stirring to insure even soaking.
- Drain and discard water. Transfer to a blender.
- Add fruit spread, lime juice, sugar (or agave nectar) and salt. Puree.
- Measure 1/2 cup into a small bowl and set aside to use as a glaze for the meat.
- Set the rest aside.
Sear and Roast Pork
- Heat over to 400 degrees F.
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium high heat.
- Salt and pepper tenderloins.
- Lay the seasoned pork in the skillet and sear on all sides – 7-8 minutes total.
- Remove from the skillet, lay on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Brush the pork with the reserved chamoy.
- Roast pork in oven until done to medium, 20 minutes (until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F).
- Remove from oven, cover with foil and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
- In a bowl, combine mango, jicama and cliantro.
- Scoop onion into a small strainer, rinse under cold water and shake off excess. Add to the bowl.
- Scoop in 1/2 cup of remaining chamoy and mix into the salsa.
- Slice pork into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Lay overlapping slices onto individual plates or a platter, spoon on a little salsa and serve.

Real Cuban Knock-offs Montecristo No.2
The Real Cuban Knock-Offs brand is from Jose Dominguez, master blender for Victor Sinclair. As the name implies, it is intended to replace the coveted Montecristo No.2 Cuban cigar. Does this knock off compare to the real thing? I couldn't tell you.
Wrapper: Nicaragua
Binder: Corojo Dominican
Filler: Corojo, Criollo 98 and Vuelta Abajo Dominican
Size: 52 x 6
Price: – ???
Pre-smoke & Construction:
Giving the cigar a quick once over, the wrapper looked pretty veiny with a couple large ones running throughout. Sniffing the wrapper smelled like cedar, and the foot smelled earthy along with cedar. When squeezing the cigar, I found a couple soft spots near the head. The pre-light draw had some resistance, and tasted a little earthy. The burn required quite a few corrections, and the ash held on for about an inch.
The first third began with a simple, smooth earthy taste. It was very similar to a soil. Slight woody notes entered as this third came to a close. Simple, but enjoyable.
The second third held that earthy base flavor. The woody flavors were pretty consistent as well. The final flavor that appeared reminded me of coffee. I was left with a parched, cotton mouth feeling and found myself drinking a lot of water. It wasn't bad, but I found myself getting bored.
That earthy taste continued in the last third, but woody flavors would take over, then take a back seat again. Again, I was left feeling parched, and drank a lot of water. The coffee notes went away for the most part, and a strange flavor took it's place at times. It reminded me of soap. Once that happened, I decided to put this stick down.
The simple flavor profile was decent and enjoyable, but I found myself getting bored as I progressed. I'm not sure if it was just my mood or what, but this cigar just didn't do it for me. They claim this is a full bodied cigar. I disagree and would call it medium. Overall, the experience was just OK and nothing more.

A Look at US Dollars to Pounds
Exchange rates have a profound effect on the everyday consumer, and many never realize why. The US dollar to Pounds currently is $1 US = 0.61 British Pound. Exchange rates are floating for most countries Britain and the United States included. This means the exchange rate can change daily. Anyone wanting up to date exchange rates can find currency converters online, and individuals will find them user friendly and accurate.
Why do consumers need to know the exchange rates? Consumers wanting to buy a sports car made in Britain will pay more if the Pound is up against the dollar in other words it will take more US dollars to pounds. The reverse is true if the pound goes down against the US dollar the sports car becomes less expensive. Goods in the United States are manufactured using US dollars and costs are paid in US dollars if the dollar weakens against another currency the consumers there can purchase cheaper US goods.
Individuals might reason then if the British pound lowers against the US dollar then goods manufactured in Britain will be cheaper to British consumers. It works the opposite, though, when the pound is down against
the dollar it is cheaper for Americans to buy British goods the balance being the demand will increase for British goods thus putting more Britons to work, it does not lower the cost of goods to them. The pound is up against the dollar, so the sports car let us say cost the British consumer 75,000.00 Pounds it will cost for, 100,000.00 US dollars for an American consumer. The demands for British goods go down because of the Pound being up against the dollar. Currently it is cheaper for British consumers to purchase American manufactured cars because of the US dollar to pounds exchange rate.
There is a tremendous amount of information on the Internet for the average consumer concerning exchange rates. The macroeconomics is complicated and hard to understand, but the microeconomics is what transactions the consumer makes every day. The US dollar to Pounds at a micro level has an effect because of the cost of imports have risen costing the American consumer more.
Individuals can find online calculators to determine the exchange rate for anyone wanting to take a holiday in Britain. Exchanging US dollars for pounds is rather easy and can be conducted at any number of places.
Many experienced travelers will wait until they have arrived in Britain before exchanging currency.
It cost more than one dollar to purchase one British pound, so it can be said right now that the British are getting more for their money than Americans are. It all hinges on trade deals, tariffs, and not just the exchange rate when it comes to pricing consumer goods. Although when comparing US dollars to pounds, it seems the pound is always stronger than the dollar. The major reason for this is that the United States prints more money than the British, which can have a devaluation effect.

Spring Skier Rescued From The Northern Bridgers
I'm always amazed at how quickly authorities are able to respond!
I'm always amazed at how quickly authorities are able to respond!
This rescue shows you just how hard these people work!
Yesterday (Feb 22, 2013) afternoon at 4:25 p.m. the Sheriff's Office received a report of an injured snowboarder in the area South of Hyalite Reservoir. Sheriff's Search & Rescue, Rae Sourdough Fire and AMR responded to the call.
It happened Saturday, in the Cabin Creek drainage, which is north of West Yellowstone in remote, rugged terrain where experienced snowmobiles ride.
Last week, on Thursday, November 8 at about 3:30 pm, the Gallatin County Sheriff's Deputies with Search and Rescue responded to two hunters who had gotten stuck near Little Bear Trail.
A scary accident yesterday (9/18/12) on Gallatin Tower.
On Saturday, the Gallatin County Sheriff's Office received a call of a 57 year-old male who was overdue from a dirt bike ride in the Bear Canyon area.
You can't get much more heroic than rescuing school children from a burning bus. Which is why public school officials and firefighters in Charlotte, North Carolina are raving about school bus driver Lindora Richardson, whose calm in the face of potential catastrophe may have saved the lives of the six children on her bus last Wednesday afternoon.


text: Joan Jett, 49Q. You initiated the idea of the independent artist by starting your own label to release your albums. A. We had to create Blackheart Records or we wouldn't have had anything out. Now we own the rights to our music, and I think people see the benefit in that. A lot of artists are trying to go that route.Q. How do you write your songs? A. In a couple of different ways. Once in a blue, blue moon, everything happens at once: You get the lyrics and the melody and you come out with a song almost completed. But that doesn't usually happen for me. I write a lot of riffs and melodies, and I'll get ideas for song titles, and I'll sort of put them together. I can't plan it; I can't say, "Okay, today at two o'clock I'm going to sit down and write for a couple of hours." I'm more impulsive.Q. You've got some political songs on your latest album, Sinner: "Riddles," which uses Bush and Rumsfeld sound bites, and "Change the World." What motivated you to speak out on political issues? A. I just had to comment. It would be great if people were more politically aware, but you can't force it. Until things directly impact their lives, they're not going to be involved. They'll say, "Wow, that's too bad, but…" I get it. I'm sure I do that in a lot of instances too. But I was wondering if anybody else was seeing what I was seeing, and I wanted to talk about how this specific administration uses language to confuse and blur what's really happening.Q. When you were in your 20s, how did you envision yourself at the age you are now? A. I lived every day for the moment, and I wasn't looking forward. Every day is new.Gladys Knight, 63Q. What were your musical influences? A. Growing up, we listened to everybody. Radio wasn't as dissected as it is now — you could hear Frank Sinatra one minute and the Midnighters or something like "Earth Angel" the next. Q. How do you choose your songs? A. I've always, no matter what genre it was, chosen a song for its lyrical content. I want to know what it's saying first, and then I'll see if the melody moves my spirit. I generally have been blessed enough to sing whatever I want to sing.Q. What's your secret to looking so great? A. I don't have any regimen. I try to eat right, and I don't succeed at that all the time. I absolutely love tennis, and if I could play every day, I would. I've played with Serena, Venus, Martina, Billie Jean…Q. You must be good! A. I'm not that good. They have fun with me, that's all.Q. Did becoming a mother change you as a musician and singer? A. Absolutely. I think it strengthened me because I had to learn how to follow a dream and to be responsible at the same time. You can't just do whatever you want to do. My mom used to tell us, "Once you have babies, your life is not your own anymore. You want to go to the party? Too bad!"Q. You never seem to get tired of performing; you seem to thrive on it. How do you explain that? A. We do it for the love of it, like when we started out. I want to give people the best of me.Yoko Ono, 74Q. In July you performed at the cutting-edge Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago. What was that like? A. Usually I perform with Sean [Ono Lennon, her son] and his band, but Sean had a gig in Europe and couldn't come, so I had to have a whole new band, and actually it was great — very young, good people. I was so nervous, but when I finally did the show, it really gave me some strength.Q. How has it been collaborating with Sean? A. I wasn't thinking it was going to be a partnership forever; I wanted to do things with him to encourage him to be himself, and that's what's happening now. He's going on tour now. I think, if anything, I helped him by not being too overwhelming. When John and I were doing Double Fantasy, he was there in the studio, and it just came naturally to him. I never tried to educate him about what I did, and John didn't either. So I was surprised that he listened to everything, and he knew every little lick of all of our songs, including the Beatles'.Q. Are you gratified that younger artists are doing remixes of your songs, on this year's Yes, I'm a Witch and Open Your Box? A. I'm very happy, very thankful. I think indie music is it now — that's the future. Each time when I was creating something, it was just a suggestion to other artists and the people who listened to it, too. If the suggestion is taken, I'm very happy. The first record that John and I put out together, Two Virgins, was called Unfinished Music No. 1. I felt it was unfinished until people put their own thing on it, perceptually or physically. But nobody did that — I think they just trashed it. Finally the instructions are being fulfilled.Q. Did it take a lot of courage to pose nude on the cover of Rolling Stone with John in 1968? A. From my point of view it was not that brave, because I come from an art background, where nudity was not particularly different.Q. What do you know now that you wish you'd known at 25? A. Life can be so long, and more and more beautiful, because you learn to appreciate it more.Emmylou Harris, 60Q. You've been "one of the guys" with your bands — is there a different vibe when you're touring with women? A. Oh, yes, with [harmony singers] Pam Rose and Mary Ann Kennedy, we've been like girlfriends who hardly ever get to see each other — and when we do, it's as if we picked up on a conversation that just ended the night before. I've been able to see a lot more of them in the last couple of years. We've been doing some recording and then going out on the road.Q. What are your on-the-road survival tips? A. Don't eat pizza after the show! You have to watch the ol' indigestion. And it's important to get a lot of sleep. I actually sleep really well on the bus. I also recommend having a dog; if you want a creature that is just going to always get you up, get you out, and put you at ease, there's nothing like a dog.Q. What part of your career has been the most meaningful to you? A. I suppose it will always be meeting Gram Parsons [the influential singer-songwriter with whom Harris sang in the early '70s; he died at age 26]. He opened my eyes and ears to the music I was supposed to make. He helped me discover my voice — not just what my voice sounds like, but what I could do with it. I don't know if I would have found that on my own.Q. What do you know now that you wish you'd known at 25? A. Maybe there are a lot of things that it's good you don't know. Everything seems a lot easier when you're younger. No one realizes how much hard work motherhood is. I've been very lucky — my girls have turned out great. They don't play the guilt card; I wasn't around much. But they're in my life now, and you never stop being a mother. Originally published on MORE.com, October 2007.

The daily trek of the 5,000 or so students who attend
classes at Schoenbaum Hall takes them past a brief survey of art
history displayed in the buildings hallways, student lounges
and offices.
Similarly, the thousands of students, executives
and guests who attend classes, seminars and meetings in Gerlach,
Mason, Pfahl and Fisher hallsor who simply stop in to tour
the buildingscan view a comprehensive collection
of international and regional art in a variety of genres.
The artwork is more than adornment for new buildings,
said David
Cole, Fisher College emeritus faculty member and head of the
colleges building planning committee.
We all have busy schedules, and it is easy to get caught
up in our to-do lists. Bringing art into our daily environment
helps us remember that we are human beings capable of self-expression,
of creativity.
The collection includes more than 70 original works
by renowned regional and national artists. Among them is a bronze
of the colleges namesake, Max Fisher, sculpted by Jerome
Soble and displayed in the Klevay Conference Room in the Schottenstein
Deans Suite; an illuminated blown glass display of hats
entitled Ruth
King, exhibited in the Bank One Graduate Student Lounge (shown
at left); eight-foot marble, mosaic and steel floor medallions
in the foyer of each building created by Barbara
Kruger; a wood carving by LaVon
Van Williams, Jr. in Schoenbaum Hall (shown above); an original
computer-generated graphic by Charles
Csuri, an Ohio State emeritus professor, in Gerlach Hall;
and works by Mary
Fisher, Bernadine
Silberman, Mary
Beam and Charlotte
The process of business educationeven
in facilities admired for their architecture and technological
sophistication and led by quality facultyis further enriched
by displays of artistic expression, Alutto said. That
is what helps to create a complete individual, armed not only
with skills for commerce but with an appreciation for that which
touches the inner being and makes life complete.

Feb. 14, 2000
Thurs., Feb. 17 - UW at Oregon State, 7:00 p.m. PST
Gill Coliseum (10,400), Corvallis, Ore.
Sat., Feb. 19 - UW at Oregon, 7:00 p.m. PST
McArthur Court (9,087), Eugene, Ore.
The Washington Huskies (8-15, 3-8) make their annual bus trip south to the Willamette Valley to meet their Northwest rivals from the state of Oregon. Washington seeks to snap a two-game losing streak on Thursday, Feb. 17 when they play at Oregon State (10-12, 2-9). Tip-off is 7 p.m. at Gill Coliseum. The Huskies were victorious in their last three visits to Corvallis. The Beavers won this year's first meeting, 74-57 in Seattle to snap a seven-game series losing streak. On Saturday, Feb. 19 Washington plays Oregon (17-5, 8-3) at 7 p.m. in McArthur Court. The Ducks won the last two meetings against UW, including a 76-74 overtime triumph earlier this season in Seattle. Washington has had better success on the road than at home this season, winning five games away from Seattle. UW has a 5-6 away record and 0-2 mark at neutral sites. The Huskies have a 3-7 record at "home" in KeyArena in downtown Seattle where the Huskies will play all of their home games this season during the one-year renovation of their on-campus arena.
Road Warriors: The Huskies have a 5-6 record at enemy arenas this season. Among Pac-10 teams, only Arizona (7), Oregon (7) and Stanford (7) have more away victories. The next Washington road conquest will tie the 1998 squad (6-7) for the most away wins since 1986. That 1986 Huskies registered a 9-5 road record.
TV/Radio Coverage: Neither game this week will be televised in Seattle. All Husky men's basketball games are broadcast live on KOMO Radio (AM 1000) and its affiliates by play-by-play announcer Bob Rondeau. The radio broadcasts can be accessed via the internet at: http://www.audionet.com/schools/washington/
Notable: The Huskies, who lost all four games this season when their opponents shot better than 50 percent from the field, have won only once (UCLA) in the 13 games when being outshot by their foes ... Washington is limiting opponents to 37-percent field goal shooting in wins (169-459) and 47 percent (427-901) in losses ... Senior Deon Luton ranks 11th among all-time Washington scorers with 1,405 career points. Luton needs 21 points to take over the No. 10 spot ... Six different players have posted team-high scoring honors for the Huskies in games this season.
Luton's Got the Range at Home: Senior guard Deon Luton has quickly warmed up to the Huskies' new home at KeyArena. Luton was the leading Washington scorer in all 10 home games to date while his 26-point outing at WSU was the only time in 13 road contests that he was the team's top scorer. He has registered 20 points on eight occasions this season, only twice away from KeyArena. Luton is averaging 21.2 points at home while shooting 49 percent from the field (75-153) and 48 percent (28-59) from 3-point range. Away from home those figures drop to 12.1 points per game, 32-percent shooting from the field (50-155) and 33-percent accuracy on treys (21-63). Luton had a similar disparity last season, averaging 18.6 points at home, shooting 51% from the field and 41% on 3-pointers. On the road in 1999, Luton averaged 10.9 points, shooting 37% from the field and 28% on treys.
Injury Update: The Huskies have steadily gotten healthier after suffering five injuries during their final non-conference road trip , Dec. 29 through Jan. 2 in New Mexico. Following is a list of the currently injured Huskies and their projected status for Thursday's game at Oregon State.
o Senque Carey - Probable. Sprained right ankle during overtime at WSU (Feb. 5). Played in the last two games.
o Grant Leep - Out for the season with sprained MCL in right knee suffered at end of New Mexico State game (Dec. 30).
o Chris Walcott - Probable. Missed four games after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to his left knee on Jan. 27. Returned on Saturday (Feb. 12) against Arizona State, scoring nine points with four rebounds before fouling out after 21 minutes.
The Oregon State Series:
o Washington has a 138-128 lead in the all-time series that began in 1904. The Huskies had a seven-game series winning streak snapped on Jan. 23 with a 74-57 Beaver win in Seattle. The seven-game winning streak was Washington's longest in the series since 1953.
o Oregon State is seeking to sweep the season series from the Huskies for the first time since 1992.
o The Huskies won in their last three visits to Gill Coliseum, but still trail Oregon State 90-42 in the all-time series over games played in Corvallis.
o Fifth-year Oregon State Coach Eddie Payne has a 2-7 record against Washington.
o Seventh-year UW Coach Bob Bender has a 10-3 record against OSU.
The Last Meeting: Oregon State 74, UW 57 (Jan. 23, 2000, Seattle) -- Ramunas Petraitis scored 12 of his game-high 17 points during the first half when Oregon State took command en route to a 74-57 win over Washington at KeyArena. The Beavers (10-6, 2-3) won for the first time in Seattle since 1993, snapping a six-game losing streak. The 17-point margin was Oregon State's largest over UW since an 82-58 win in 1992 and the biggest win in Seattle since a 106-66 triumph in 1989. Washington (6-12, 1-5) lost its fifth straight game for the first time since 1995. Oregon State scored the game's first eight points before Deon Luton put the Huskies on the board with a 3-pointer at 15:04. The Beavers then reeled off 11 unanswered points to claim a 19-3 lead. Oregon State opened leads of 28-7 and 43-16 en route to a 45-23 halftime advantage. Fueled by an 11-point run, Washington trimmed the deficit to 59-49 on a free throw with 7:51 left in the game, but OSU scored the next 12 points to repel the rally. Clifton Jones, who scored five points during the Beaver run, finished with 13 points and 13 rebounds. Deaundra Tanner also tallied 13 points for OSU. David Dixon tied Deon Luton for team-high honors with 12 points. Dixon entered the game with only three points, having missed all 10 of his field goal attempts. The Huskies shot just 28 percent (7-25) in the first half and finished the game at 34 percent (19-56). Oregon State shot 46 percent (25-55) from the field.
Hair Raising Experience: Thalo Green realizes his hair is getting a little out of control. Green, who had a nearly shaven look last season, now possesses long, curly red locks. The Husky junior plans to go without a haircut until the end of the current season, at which time he will shave it off and donate the hair to Wigs for Kids, an organization affiliated with the American Cancer Society which uses such donations to make wigs for cancer patients.
Working Overtime: The Huskies have played four overtime games this season, the second-highest total in school history. The 1961 Washington squad compiled a 2-3 record in five overtime contests. Twice before (1986, 1981) UW played four overtime games in the same season. The current team has a 1-3 record in overtimes, getting its first extra-session win (74-68) at Washington State (Feb. 5).
Shuffling Starters: Washington has implemented eight different starting lineups this season with 10 players drawing at least one starting assignment. The Huskies used the same starting lineup for nine of the first 10 games of the season, but have utilized six different rotations in the last 13 outings. Senque Carey is the only player who has started every UW game this season. Senior guard Deon Luton had a string of 64 consecutive starts snapped at Old Dominion when Clark started in his place because of a coaches' decision.
Last UW Game - Arizona State 81, UW 67 (Feb. 12, 2000, Seattle): Eddie House scored 18 of his 29 points in the second half, helping Arizona State overcome an eight-point halftime deficit to claim an 81-67 win over Washington at KeyArena. The Sun Devils (14-9, 6-5) swept the season series from Washington (8-15, 3-8) for the first time since 1995. The game marked the return of senior Chris Walcott who missed the previous four outings after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to his left knee on Jan. 27. Walcott entered the game midway through the first half and scored six points to spark a 14-point run that put the Huskies ahead 33-25. UW owned a 39-31 margin at halftime. ASU scored the first 12 points after intermission to move ahead 43-39 with 15:10 left to play. Washington regained the lead briefly at 50-46 before the Sun Devils took the lead for good with a 14-2 surge. House hit 11-of-25 shots from the field for ASU which got 10 points from Donnell Knight. Deon Luton scored 15 of Washington 28 second-half points en route to a 25-point performance. Will Perkins added 12 points for the Huskies. The Sun Devils posted a commanding 43-33 advantage on the boards, led by the nine rebounds of Chad Prewitt. Despite the 8-for-17 shooting of Luton, Washington shot only 36 percent (22-62) from the field while ASU hit 41 percent of its field goals attempts (27-66).
Century Club: Last year Deon Luton became the 27th player in Washington history to reach the 1,000-point career scoring plateau. He currently has 1,405 points to rank 11th among UW career scorers. He needs 21 points to surpass Bill Hanson (1960-62) and move into the No. 10 position.
Home Away From Home: The Huskies will play all of their home games in KeyArena at Seattle Center this season while Hec Edmundson Pavilion is being renovated. The Huskies won 746 games in The Pavilion since it opened on Dec. 27, 1927, more than any other school in its current arena. Washington tallied a 49-9 record on its home court the previous four seasons. The UW has a 6-7 record in home games contested away from Edmundson Pavilion since that 1927 season, including a 3-7 mark at KeyArena this year. The Huskies upset 11th-ranked New Mexico 70-61 on Dec. 24 last season in their only prior game at KeyArena. Washington also played two games in the Kingdome, beating Notre Dame 63-61 in double overtime on Jan. 9, 1984 and Old Dominion 71-61 on Dec. 22, 1995. Washington's on-campus venue, Bank of America Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion, is scheduled to re-open next season with a seating capacity of 10,000.
Prolific Passer: On Jan. 27 at Stanford, Senque Carey became the 20th player in Washington history to reach the 100-assist plateau in a single season. With seven games remaining to play, he has already bettered his total of 94 assists last season. Carey currently has 116 assists to rank ninth among UW single-season playmakers. He needs five assists to take over the No. 8 spot. Carey distributed 10 assists at Alaska Anchorage and 11 against UCLA, the 28th and 29th double-digit assist performances in Husky history.
The Season to Date: Washington opened the season with a win for the sixth straight season, defeating Saint Mary's 73-60 in Moraga, Calif. The Huskies traveled to Anchorage for the Great Alaska Shootout where they defeated the host Seawolves 86-70 in the opener. UW lost three straight games, placing fifth in the Shootout after setbacks to Georgia Tech (82-65) and Xavier (81-65) before losing at UNC Wilmington (68-59). The Huskies stopped a three-game skid with a victory at Old Dominion (78-70). That was the third Husky road victory, matching their total last season when they had a 3-9 road record. After six straight road games, UW dropped its Dec. 13 home opener to No. 22 Gonzaga (76-66). The Huskies' four-game homestand included a win over Wichita State (61-47), a loss to No. 13 Oklahoma State (84-72) and a win over Boise State (72-57). UW suffered an overtime setback at New Mexico State (79-75) and lost at New Mexico (78-52) to cap the non-conference season with a 5-7 record. The Huskies upset No. 24 UCLA (63-62) in the Pac-10 opener, their third straight home victory over the Bruins. USC posted an overtime win (81-79) over the Huskies, beginning a six-game losing streak. The Huskies were swept in a road trip to Arizona State (90-80) and No. 2 Arizona (69-62) before losing at home to Oregon (76-74) in overtime and to Oregon State (74-57). Second-ranked Stanford defeated UW (92-62) in California. The Huskies halted the six-game losing skid with a victory at California (54-52) on a last-second 3-pointer by Senque Carey. Washington won in overtime at Washington State (74-68), forming the first two-game win streak since the opening games of the season. The Huskies were swept at home by No. 7 Arizona (65-56) and Arizona State (81-67) last week in their most recent action.
Carey the Catalyst: Sophomore point guard Senque Carey is a versatile player who is clearly the catalyst of the Husky offense. He led the team in assists during 16 games, topped all Husky scorers on seven occasions and was the top UW rebounder four times. He has 116 assists, the 20th 100-assist season in Husky history. Carey is second on the team with an 11.8-point scoring average. He ranks third in the Pac-10 with 5.0 assists per game. Carey set a school record with a perfect 7-for-7 performance from 3-point range at Old Dominion, the best 3-point shooting for any NCAA player this season. He broke the single-game 3-point percentage mark and tied Deon Luton's single-game trey standard of seven. Against UCLA he distributed 11 assists, the highest total for a Husky since 1993. He had 10 assists at Alaska Anchorage, giving him two of the 29 double-digit assist efforts in Husky history. Carey started the final 17 games last season, culminating in his selection to the 1999 All-Pac-10 Freshmen Team. His 94 assists in 1999 placed him second among all-time UW freshmen, trailing only the 103-assist total of Eldridge Recasner (1987).
Wonderful Walk-On: Senior forward Chris Walcott has worked his way from former walk-on into the starting lineup for the Huskies. He is the only player among the 50 full-time starters in the Pacific-10 Conference who joined his team as a walk-on. Walcott leads the team in field goal shooting (47%), ranks second in rebounding (4.6 rpg) and fourth in scoring (9.6 ppg). As a senior as Sammamish High School he earned all-state honors and scored 29 points during his team's loss in the 1995 Washington state championship game. His only scholarship offers came from small division I schools, including New Hampshire, and division II schools like Seattle Pacific. Husky coach Bob Bender convinced him to walk-on at Washington and he was granted a scholarship following his first season.
Walcott Returns from Injury: Chris Walcott played 21 minutes against Arizona State in Washington's most recent outing after missing the previous four games with a knee injury. Walcott underwent arthroscopic surgery to his left knee on Jan. 27 and was scheduled to be sidelined from 2-to-3 weeks. The successful surgical procedure removed two loose fragments of cartilage and cleaned up the area around his knee joint. In his return, Walcott came off the bench to contribute nine points and four rebounds before fouling out. The 6-foot-9 forward has played 18 of 23 games, starting 13.
Frequent Flyers: The Huskies have accumulated thousands of air miles the last few seasons. They covered over 13,000 air miles during eight non-conference road games this year. Washington traveled nearly 10,000 air miles during a two-week span from Nov. 21 to Dec. 5. The Huskies flew from Seattle to Moraga, Calif. (782 miles), from Moraga to Anchorage, Ak. (2,227) and from Alaska back to Seattle (1,445). After two days at home, the Huskies boarded a plane for Wilmington, N.C. (2,460) where they took a bus to Norfolk, Va. and flew back to Seattle (2,585). In 1998, Washington traveled to South Alabama for a single game. Later that year the Huskies criss-crossed the country twice during the 1998 NCAA Tournament. UW flew from Seattle to Washington, D.C. for the first two rounds, returned to Seattle for one day and flew to Greensboro, N.C. for the Sweet 16. In 1999, UW amassed over 8,000 miles during a 10-day stretch, traveling from Seattle to Hawai'i to Chicago and back to Seattle.
The Oregon Series:
o Washington has a 169-94 lead in the all-time series that began in 1904. The Huskies have a 66-62 advantage against the Ducks in Eugene.
o The Ducks, who won this year's first meeting 76-74 in overtime on Jan. 20 in Seattle, seek their first season sweep of Washington since 1995.
o Third-year Oregon Coach Ernie Kent is 2-3 coaching against the UW.
o Seventh-year Washington Coach Bob Bender has a 5-9 record against Oregon, the only Pac-10 school he met during his initial head coaching assignment at Illinois State. His inaugural Redbird squad lost 81-79 on Dec. 29, 1989.
o Bob Bender was recruited by then-Oregon head coach Dick Harter and took a recruiting visit to Eugene in 1975 while he was a high school senior. Bender signed with Indiana University.
o Husky sophomore forward Thalo Green was the 1996 Oregon Player of the Year from state champion South Salem High School.
The Last Meeting: Oregon 76, UW 74 ot (Jan. 20, 2000, Seattle): Alex Scales scored six of his 17 points during overtime, including the final two baskets that sealed Oregon's 76-74 victory over Washington at KeyArena. Oregon (12-3, 3-1) won in Seattle for the first time since 1996. Washington (6-11, 1-4) forced the overtime as Thalo Green scored the final four points of regulation. Green rebounded and put back a teammate's miss with 1:19 remaining and scored in the lane at 0:27 to tie the score at 66-66. The Ducks led 72-70 before Scales hit a runner in the lane with 1:16 left in overtime and then responded to a Senque Carey basket with another basket from the lane to secure the win. Carey hit a 15-foot jumper with six seconds left, but the Huskies were unable to foul any Oregon player on the ensuing in-bounds play as time expired. Bryan Bracey was the only Duck reserve to score, pouring in a game-high 23 points on 10-for-10 shooting from the field. Oregon shot 57 percent (28-49), including a 4-for-5 performance in overtime. Bracey also grabbed seven rebounds to lead a 29-24 Duck advantage on the boards. Deon Luton had four 3-pointers and scored 13 of his 18 points in the first half to help the Huskies build a 32-29 advantage. Luton was limited to only one field goal after intermission.
