A Look at the Cougars
Washington State is 3-3 this season, but has one last-second loss and another overtime setback on its record. The Cougars beat Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Saturday by a 66-38 margin. WSU is 3-0 at home this year and has held two of those opponents below 50 points. The Cougars shoot .452 overall from the field and .322 from 3-point range whole holding opponents to .385 overall and .346 long-range shooting. WSU also holds a +3.7 rebounding margin this season. Reigning Pac-12 scoring champion Brock Motum averages 16.0 points, while four more Cougars average between 8.0 and 9.0 points per game. Five players also have double-figure assist totals already this season.
Washington State Head Coach Ken Bone
Ken Bone is 60-49 in his fourth season at Washington State. He is 395-216 overall in his 21st year as a collegiate head coach. He led WSU to a 19-18 overall record and the final series against Pittsburgh in the College Basketball Invitational tournament. Before his time at WSU, Bone was the head coach at Portland State for four seasons, where he posted a 77-49 record. He also coached his alma mater, Seattle Pacific, to a 253-97 record from 1990-02.
Idaho Vandals
Idaho started well at New Mexico last Friday before losing contact in the second half of a 73-58 loss. A 14-0 scoring run gave Idaho a six-point lead early in the second half, but missed shots, turnovers and a 3-point barrage from UNM caused a quick turnaround in the loss. Sophomore guard Connor Hill scored a career-high 20 points in the game, while senior center Kyle Barone added 16 points, but the Vandals got just seven points off the bench in the game.
Vandals vs. Cougars
Idaho vs. Washington State is the oldest active men's basketball rivalry West of the Mississippi. The teams have played at least once every season since the 1905-06 campaign, when the Cougars took a 28-11 win on Jan. 13, 1906. The two have faced off 267 times overall and the Cougars hold a 161-106 edge, including eight victories in a row. Idaho's last win was Dec. 4, 2002, by a 62-58 margin. The last five Vandal wins in the series have come at home. Idaho's last win at Pullman was Dec. 14, 1989 (56-52).
Points at a Premium
Except for one game, the Idaho-Washington State series in recent history hasn't exactly lit up the scoreboard. In 11 of the last 19 meetings, neither team reached 70 points. During that span, the 80-point barrier has been broken just three times and a team has scored less than 60 points 14 times. WSU's 88-71 win on Nov. 16, 2010, was the only time in the last 18 years that both teams scored 70-plus points.
Shooters Gonna Shoot
Sophomore guard Connor Hill set a freshman record last season with 47 made 3-pointers. He's show no hesitation this season and has a team-leading 11 triples (2.8/gm) so far this year. Hill is coming off a 6-of-12 long-range shooting performance at New Mexico in which he scored a career-high 20 points. The six made 3-pointers were a career high and are tied for fourth-most in Idaho single-game history. It marked the seventh time under head coach Don Verlin that a Vandal player has netted at least six 3-pointers in a game.
That's Telekinesis, Kyle
Not really, it just seems that way sometimes. Senior center Kyle Barone is shooting .636 from the field so far this season (Idaho's school record is Riley Smith's .651 tally in 1988-89). He's shot at least 50 percent from the field in all four of Idaho's games this season and 11 times in his last 13 games dating back to last season. Barone has shot .500 or better from the field in 73 of his 100 career games at Idaho.
Start The Countdown...
With 985 career points, junior Kyle Barone will try to become the 13th member of Idaho's 1,000-Point Club this year. The most recent Vandal to break the 1,000-point barrier was Tanoris Shepard, who scored 1,137 from 2002-06. The last Vandal frontcourt player to crack quadruple digits was Deon Watson (1,115) in 1994.

Reviews for Bombay Chicken
"Simple and tasty!"
"I have made this recipe a few times. It never disappoints. Moist and flavorful. It stands out from ordinary barbeque sauce."
"This is one of my favorite marinade recipes. I followed the recipe exactly. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts."
"This recipe has a great balance of heat and warmth from the spices that is not too overpowering. I used boneless chicken breasts, which turned out really moist and flavorful."
"I was really excited about this recipe. I did not grill it, so maybe that has something to do with the the lack of flavor. Instead, I cooked it in a large electric skillet. I also marinated for about 12 hrs. I might try it as the recipe states next time, but if it does not improve, I will not try it again."

This is based on the James McQuivey presentation of Wednesday January 16 at Digital Book World in New York.
Most publishers are optimistic about the book industry's transition to digital, according to a new survey from Digital Book World and Forrester.
Some 85% of publishers representing three-quarters of U.S. trade publishing revenues said they were optimistic about the digital transition. This is up just a few percentage points from a year ago — though the comparison isn't exactly fair because of different sample sizes.
January 16, 2013 9:05p
With the closure of Borders, shrinking library budgets and the pressure independent bookstores and Barnes & Noble are under due to the rise of ebooks and online book sales, bookstore and library shelf space has been shrinking markedly in the U.S. for several years. With less shelf space comes fewer opportunities for publishers to display their wares to consumers — and publishers are starting to come to grips with that future.

(This story doesn't say so, but it's from a session at DBW 2013 called Clearing the Path: Eliminating Obstacles to Global Ebook Sales, held on Wednesday afternoon, January 16.)
Pricing, the intersection of rights and metadata, and publicity are the three primary obstacles to global sales, according to Kobo's director of content management Ashleigh Gardner and her colleague Nathan Maharaj, the company's director of merchandising.

Networking with Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows Part 1 - page 2
Installing the Samba Package for Ubuntu
By default, Samba requires you to configure a password for use when accessing the shares from other computers. (In a later part of this series we'll discuss advanced sharing configuration, like guest shares) This will be, for example, the password you'll use in conjunction with your Ubuntu username when prompted to enter logon credentials after double-clicking a computer icon in the My Network Places or Network window in Windows.
Creating a username for Samba only takes one line of code in Terminal:
- Click Applications | Accessories | Terminal.
- Type
sudo smbpasswd -a usernameand hit the Enter key.
Replace the word username above with the login or user name of your Ubuntu account, as you can see in the example shown in Figure 2.
If Terminal comes back and says
sudo: unable to resolve host , you'll need to refer to the next set of steps before moving on.
- Type your Ubuntu account password and hit the Enter key.
- Type a password for the SMB account and hit the Enter key.
- Retype the same password and hit the Enter key.
If you received the
unable to resolve host error after executing the smbpasswd command, it's probably because you were fiddling around with settings and you specified a Domain Name in the General tab of the Network Settings. (We discuss changing the Workgroup value later.) Yet you can revert to being domain name-less (so you can continue setting up SMB) by editing the hosts file. Here's exactly how to perform the fix:
- Click Applications | Accessories | Terminal.
- Type
sudo gedit /etc/hostsand hit the Enter key.
- Type in your Ubuntu
account passwordand hit the Enter key.
The text editor should pop-up with the hosts file opened.
- Delete the Domain Name, including the preceding period, that's just after 127.0.1.1 and your Computer Name; such as Figure 3 shows.
- Click the Save button on the text editor's toolbar, close the window, and proceed with the previous set of steps.

Coach / Scout Reports
10-04-2010, 12:48
Should I trust scout reports of players and the star rating which they give the players or should I just look at the players attributes myself?
10-04-2010, 12:52
Both, compare them. If they player plays well but isn't rated by your coaches then who cares. I had a player that was rated so highly, up to one of the best at the club, yet played terrible. He had average ratings of 5.5-6.5, I'm not sure why, he had all the stats besides jumping, but just failed at defending.
10-04-2010, 12:53
I'd go for a bit of both. The attributes are the most important thing but the stars will give you a good idea if he's likely to improve.
10-04-2010, 12:54
but are the stars accurate and do they depend on the quality of the coach?
10-04-2010, 13:00
The stars are not 100% accurate. They depend on the attributes of the coach/scout and they are also just opinions from the staff, rather than just a report on the actual ability/potential of a player.
10-04-2010, 13:08
thanks, I might just ignore them and make my own judgement.
10-04-2010, 14:19
They're definitely useful (in fact, the only thing there is) for judging potential.
10-04-2010, 14:25
Can I like disable stars?
They influence me too much and make me go against players...
10-04-2010, 14:26
They're definitely useful (in fact, the only thing there is) for judging potential.
Exactly. For older players it is less important as what you see is what you get, but they are essential if you are looking for a player who will improve as he gets older.
10-04-2010, 14:28
Can I like disable stars?
They influence me too much and make me go against players...
You could remove the stars columns from the player search/shortlist screens but you will still see them when you look at the scout reports.

The pastor took his customary place at the back of the church to greet the Easter crowd. As usual, the crowd had swelled to fill the sanctuary.
The pastor saw a friend whom he knew came to church only Christmas and Easter, and said, "Hi John, I'd like to take this opportunity to say 'Merry Christmas,' since I probably won't see you here again before that."
John muttered on the way home, "Won't see me until Christmas! I'll show him!"

A ridiculous controversy has ensued lately about Elsie Carter's "Mayor on Patrol" car, a retired police cruiser adorned with clown-like markings that our mayor drives around town.
Earlier this month, Carter's friend (and our superintendent of public works) Darleen Rusnak, told The Courier-Journal that the idea for the vehicle came from an unsuccessful applicant for the city's police department who blamed Carter for his not getting hired and called her "Mayor on Patrol."

Stuff your face with mozzarella sticks! TGI Friday's begins to sell $10 all-you-can-eat appetizers
(WXYZ) - How many loaded potato skins can you eat? What about mozzarella sticks? Or boneless chicken wings? If you ever really wanted to know the answer to those questions, TGI Friday's can help you figure it out.
The casual restaurant chain has launched a summer promotion that allows you to order all-you-can-eat appetizers for $10 each.
Small print on the chain's website says, "Buy one appetizer at $10 each (per person) and get free refills on same appetizer." That means if you want those mozzarella sticks, you have to really want those mozzarella sticks. And it pays to want a lot of them.
Are appetizers really a meal? That may be in the eye of the eater.
The $10 "Endless Apps" all-you-can-eat promotion began today at TGI Friday's locations throughout the country.
In addition to the ones already mentioned, several other appetizers are available as part of the endless deal. They include Pan-Seared Pot Stickers, Garlic & Basil Bruschetta, Tuscan Spinach Dip and Crispy Green Bean Fries.
According to nutritional information on the Friday's website, a normal single appetizer order of their Loaded Potato Skins packs 1,430 calories and 78 grams of fat. The mozzarella sticks are slightly better for you.
In a Facebook post last week, Friday's boasted, "The party will keep going as long as you do."

The London underground is the oldest in the world and next year it celebrates 150 years! The very first Tube journey was made between Paddington and Farringdon on the Metropolitan line.
Here are (20)13 facts you didn't know about the London Underground:
1. Today the Tube carries 1,107 million passengers each year to 270 stations.
2. London Underground is colloquially known as 'the Tube', which originally referred to the deep-level train lines which were used by trains of a smaller and more circular cross-section, as opposed to the less deep "cut-and-cover" lines that were built first and originally used steam locomotives. The term now embraces the whole system.
3. The average speed of a Tube train is 33km per hour/ 20.5 mph
4. The number of miles/km travelled by each Tube train each year is 114,500 miles/184,269km
5. The length of the Tube network is 402km/249 miles
6. Every day over 1000 people accidentally leave something on the Tube. All the items are sent to a basement office in Baker Street that employs 40 full time staff. At any one time it holds 200,000 items of lost property; some of the weirder items in the past have included Samurai swords, false teeth, three dead bats and a 14 foot boat. Items not claimed after 3 months are either sold at auction or given to charity.
7. The disused tube station Aldwych is often seen on screen, and was used as a location for scenes in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, Atonement and V for Vendetta
8. The maximum depth of the Tube below ground level is at Holly Bush Hill in Hampstead, where the deep level lines run 68.8 m/221ft under ground
9. The longest escalator is at Angel station: it's 60m/197ft, with a vertical rise of 27.5m/90ft
10. Baker Street is the station with the most platforms – it has 10
11. London's busiest Tube station is Waterloo, with 57,000 people entering during the three-hour morning peak. The busiest station in terms of passengers each year is also Waterloo with 82 million
12. During 2011-12 The London Underground carried a record numbers of passengers with 1.171 billion journeys made
13. Albus Dumbledore, a character from the Harry Potter series, has a scar just above his left knee in the shape of the Tube map
Which one is your favourite tube station in London?
P.S To celebrate the anniversary there is a special 150th souvenir Oyster card on sale. The cards are a limited edition and will be available at London Undergroubd stations and TfL Travel Information Centres in London.

Although Cheekwood in Bloom promised to dazzle guests with colorful tulips from March 22 - April 27 at the Botanical Gardens in Belle Meade, Sat. March 22 presented the more subdued colors of spring with only a handful of tulips starting to bloom due to the late winter. Although the lack of the tulip display was a disappointment, the rest of Cheekwood's offerings more than made up for the non-existent tulip display.
Many spring trees were in bloom or in bud with the magnificent star magnolias a real show-stopper. A hidden field of crocus blooms made a pretty picture, and daffodils bloomed in several places. If the daffodils outside were pretty, they were nothing in comparison to the daffodil show inside where jonquils and narcissus of all colors, shapes and sizes amazed visitors.
Outside jazz played in the herb garden while a Japanese tea ceremony was held in the Japanese garden. Cheekwood guide Anna Knauff led a group from Bellevue, Antioch, Smyrna, Mt. Juliet, and walkers from the Bellevue-based HikeNashville through the Japanese garden pointing out flora, discussing the occasional fauna and explaining the various structures. She continued her tour of various gardens and displays, taking guests almost up to the mansion, then on to the Howe garden, past the treehouse and herb garden back to the visitor's center.
A beautiful day complimented Cheekwood's outdoor activities and made it a noteworthy experience. The tulips should begin blooming before the end of the month.
Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art is a finalist on the 10Best Readers' Choice Awards list from USA Today Travel for "Best Public Garden." Nashville residents, fans of Cheekwood, and garden lovers across the Southeast are encouraged to vote daily at www.10best.com/awards/travel/best-public-garden between now and March 31.

Flooring and Forestry: The Legacy of EcoTimber
From Daniel Threlfall on May 24, 2010 in Flooring
When a company wins a top-ten spot from the Green Building Products Earth Day Awards, it's time to perk up. They're doing something right. One of those companies is called EcoTimber. Their name describes their passion—beautiful and eco-friendly hardwood flooring.
One Company with Two Causes
Eco Timber isn't just about producing stunning floors. We'll talk about the stunning floors in a second. It's what they're doing in and among forests that really makes a difference. A floor ought to be a healthy entity—healthy for the people who walk on it, and healthy for the forests from which it comes. That is the purpose of EcoTimber. Sustainability issues are of paramount importance to the company, which is why they have pioneered innovations in wood harvesting, forest reclamation and replanting. EcoTimber boasts the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) seal, and has been reviewed by the most reputable environmental groups in the industry. EcoTimber retains impeccable results on all reviews.
Friendly Flooring
A flooring company with merely high marks from forestry councils wouldn't be much of a company. What about the flooring quality? EcoTimber has that, too. They have a sizeable collection of traditional woods, including white oak, hickory, hard maple, and birch. Each of these woods is carbon-friendly with a classic look.
The EcoReserve collection features Birch, Walnut, Red Maple and Hickory. Dark tones and rich grains distinguish these woods.
The three woods under the EcoVintage label—Strandwoven Poplar, Pecan, and Walnut—each have an intriguing look. The woven look of the textured grain is unique to poplar. Pecan woods feature a close grain and occasional knots. The walnut's light simplicity and rugged aura are an attractive choice as well.
Woven Bamboo in Honey tones
EcoTimber also has one of the best bamboo collections in the industry. Their bamboo flooring collection is expansive, featuring solid traditional colors as well as woven and dyed varieties.
EcoTimber is a company with a legacy. Whether you're walking on their durable floors or hiking through one of their reclaimed forests, it's a legacy making a difference for the planet and her people.

Judith Taylor and Rachel Barnes welcome you!
Property Women Australia was created in 2006 after 'A Current Affair' ran a story about property women showing men a thing or two when it came to Property Investing.
A trial workshop in November 2006 run by Judith Taylor was a resounding success and many other events have followed. Membership of the Property Women community grew exponentially as thousands of women realised the value of the information from the Property Women monthly e-newsletters, as well as the networking potential they have through the online forum available on the website.
Property Women has proven so popular across both Australia and New Zealand that Property Women New Zealand was launched in 2009.
Rachel Barnes became a regular presenter for Property Women early in 2007 and it soon became clear that Judith needed help, and that the two women worked extremely well together despite living over 1500 kilometres apart. Within 12 months Judith and Rachel became formal business partners and together have taken Property Women to another level as well as overseas.
The 'women only' events have proven to be extremely well received by the attendees who feel comfortable asking questions in the supportive, rather than competitive environment. Women do learn differently, and the feedback from all the events confirms that they love the opportunity to learn in a female friendly fashion.
Once women receive the right knowledge, overcome their fear and network with other likeminded women, they are ready to take action. Ordinary women are turning their lives around, taking control of their own future and having fun!
You've obviously landed on this site because you have some interest or curiosity about investing in property. Don't miss the opportunity while you're here to join our mailing list.
Every month you'll receive
Look forward to networking with you soon....

"You can't let those individual moments define what he was," junior forward Wally Judge said during a telephone interview Thursday. "In my past two years, me being an older guy and being under other coaches, I have grown from the moment I stepped in these doors, not only as a player but also as a person because of how he has treated me." Sophomore forward Austin Johnson agreed. "He did a lot for us off the court, academically, socially," he said during a separate telephone conversation. "I have to say I enjoyed my time, even it was an emotional rollercoaster." Rice was fired Wednesday, the day after a video aired on ESPN showing him shoving, grabbing and throwing balls at players in practice and using gay slurs. WKU coach Morton resigns BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Western Kentucky has announced that former Hilltoppers assistant Jake Morton has resigned as director of basketball operations. The NCAA in February accused Morton of three recruiting violations allegedly committed as a University of Miami assistant between October 2008 and April 2009. The sports' governing body also said he accepted at least $6,000 in supplemental income from convicted felon and Miami booster Nevin Shapiro between October 2007 and October 2008. Head of officials resigns SAN FRANCISCO — Ed Rush has resigned as the Pac-12 Conference's coordinator of officials following comments that he targeted Arizona coach Sean Miller during internal meetings before the league tournament. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said in a statement released Thursday that "I want to express my appreciation for the great contribution Ed made to basketball officiating for the Conference during his tenure, particularly in the area of training and the cultivation of new officiating talent." Rush also thanked the conference for giving him the opportunity. Scott told the AP a day earlier that Rush made an "inappropriate joke" before the Pac-12 tournament semifinals offering a group of officials $5,000 for a trip to Cancun if they called a technical foul on Miller, but that every official interviewed confirmed "nobody thought they were getting a reward." Thomas to enter draft MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis forward-guard Adonis Thomas plans to forego his final two seasons with the Tigers to sign with an agent and declare for the NBA draft.

A solitary penalty converted by Wayne Rooney on his first start since his injury was enough to give Manchester United a 1-0 at Ibrox. Rangers were once again set up to avoid defeat but the late breakthrough ensured that United qualify from Group C and now need only a point or a low scoring defeat in their final game home to Valencia to cement first place.
Starts for Rooney and Giggs in particular were welcome sights for United after periods on the sidelines. Smalling and Evans were given a rare chance to impress as Vidic and Ferdinand were rested and left back in Manchester. Rarer still, Evra was given a night off allowing Fabio the opportunity to showcase his talents.

Sticker shock: eliminating decals saves Hill a million
Because ID checks are required to access the base, car decals will soon be a sight of the past. Their use has been eliminated as part of an AFSO 21 initiative, saving the base millions of dollars.

Sticker shock: eliminating decals saves Hill a million

HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah
-- It's hard to believe that a four inch sticker could cost more than a million dollars a year, but that is the estimated savings of the pioneering Air Force Smart Operations initiative that eliminated vehicle decals at Hill last June.
"The material costs were $37,000 a year," said Dr. Chalon Keller, Hill chief of transformation. "Not only were you wasting the 75th employee's time to issue it, dozens of people a day were losing at least two hours of production time."
In addition to the material costs and employee time, which equaled $115,000 in direct savings to the Air Base Wing, there was an indirect savings of $824,000 due to lost productivity.
"It was actually alarming how much the Air Force was spending for that simple decal that wouldn't get you onto a base,"
Although the vehicle decal has long been a staple of Department of Defense installations, since 9/11 anyone entering these installations was required to show proper identification.
"These decals were meant to keep the wrong people off base, but you still have to show IDs, so it's a repetitive process," Dr. Keller said.
The fact that decals are now no longer needed for their intended purposes is what prompted Col. Scott Chambers, 75th Air Base Wing commander to get rid of them.
"Other than, "that's they way we've always done it", we could find no additional security this process provided," he said. "We took the step to eliminate the process entirely in our drive to reduce workload."
The resources once used to issue decals can know be focused on more mission essential tasks.
"This actually increases our force protection because we have more time to dedicate to making sure the people who are coming on the base should be here," said Col. Trapp.
At one time, cars needed to be registered on base and have decals to identify owners. Now with advancement in technology security forces can now use license plates, as off-base police do, to find owners almost instantaneously, Col. Trapp said.
Eliminating decals also have some intangible security benefits. First, DOD decals on cars easily identify government workers to anyone who would like to make them a target.
"So the safety of our airmen and civilian employees as they left the base was also a concern," Dr. Keller said.
"As a security forces commander, when ever we would have an antiterrorism survey or evaluation every single time our greatest vulnerability was access to those decals from used car lots counterfeiting," Col. Trapp said.
The only downside to eliminating the decals are for those who travel to other bases, either for work or vacationing retirees, who will have to get temporary permits and motorcycle riders, for whom the decals prove they have taken the motorcycle safety course.
"Those two things have been the only drawbacks and complaints that we have found so far," Col Trapp said.
Hill was the first base to eliminate decals, but if Robins AFB, Georgia, is any indication it won't be the last. They, too, recently decided to do away with the decals. Dr. Keller said that she has also had many calls from other bases on Hill's process.
"We think it's a great AFSO21 initiative, because it just makes common sense and the rest of DOD should follow suit" said Col. Linda Medler, 75th Air Base Wing vice commander.

From Spandex to Solar: DuPont Poised for PV Growth
By Jennifer Kho in Earth2Tech, February 14 2010
Look at a solar panel and you might think of its manufacturer or installer, or maybe – if you're a true solar geek – the company that made the cells inside the panel. But when Marc Doyle, global business director for DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions, looks at a panel he sees all the little overlooked pieces that enable it to work properly: the conductive silver metal lines, the front and back sheets and the encapsulant to protect the cells. That's because nearly all are made by DuPont, and as Doyle puts it, "What you're looking at is a bunch of DuPont stuff. But nobody looks at it this way except for DuPonters."
Because while DuPont, one of the world's largest chemical companies, has been actively providing critical materials to the solar industry for the last 25 years, solar is one of the last industries that the company's name conjures up for most people –- well behind, say, chemicals, agriculture or materials like nylon and lycra (commonly called spandex). Now DuPont is looking to change that.
DuPont has an aggressive goal to boost its solar business from $400 million in 2008, to more than $1 billion in solar sales in 2012 — a big number in the solar biz, but a figure that would actually make up less than 4 percent of DuPont's overall 2009 sales of $27.33 billion. Doyle told us DuPont is on track to meet that goal, and its sales in the solar PV market grew more than 30 percent in 2009, and are expected to grow 25 percent this year.

College Hockey:2006-07 Connecticut Season Preview
Things are looking up in Storrs, Conn., as the Connecticut Huskies seem poised to make some noise in the conference. True, there were only 11 wins last season to go along with 23 losses and two ties, but UConn ended the season on a high note, upsetting Sacred Heart in the league quarterfinals before bowing to eventual champ Holy Cross in the semis.
The Huskies got votes in the USCHO.com/CSTV poll for the first time in history last season, and are ranked fourth by the league's coaches in this year's preseason poll.
More importantly, Connecticut returns 21 players from last year's squad, including nine of its top 10 scorers. The main question mark for coach Bruce Marshall is in goal, where the starting spot is up for grabs after the early departure of Brad Smith, who played the majority of the minutes last season.
"I'm really pleased with the guys we have coming back, as well as our new players," said Marshall, starting his 19th season at Connecticut. "The freshmen are showing signs that they will really help us."
Twelve seniors will provide all the guidance the rookies will need, as the Huskies look to shore up a penalty kill that was the worst in Division I (76.9%).
"Our PK has been brutal," acknowledged Marshall. "I like the personnel we have. They have the skills to be a good PK unit but we have to find the right system to make them successful."
Marshall said he wasn't surprised with the predicted fourth-place finish.
"We haven't had a lot of success lately, but I like the chemistry of this team. We haven't gotten it done yet, but people who have played us know that it's a tough two points to take from us."
Marshall says he's not worried about the goaltending situation.
"(Scott) Tomes was our starter his first two years, but got hurt as a sophomore. Now he's a senior and realizes that this is his last go-round. I think he'll be ready to prove how talented he is."
Also in the mix is Sophomore Jon Anderson, who played in 14 games last season, as well as freshman Beau Erickson.
Up front, Marshall says he is looking for what all coaches want — a balanced attack that can wear the opposition down.
"We are looking for more offensive success," he said. "We want to be more balanced and spread it around." The Huskies did a decent job of that last year with five players scoring 20 points or more, including forwards Cole Koidahl (32 points) and Chris Myhro (27), as well as defenseman Sean Erickson (21).
'We have all the pieces and have shown the potential to put it all together," said Marshall.
"Now we just have to execute."

Sylvester Stallone's 71-year-old mother, Jackie, was the first celebrity to be evicted from the British TV's "Big Brother" house.
Although Nielsen said she did not want a return to the misery that followed her short marriage to "Rocky" star, Sylvester, her ex-mother-in-law said meeting Nielsen again was "the only thing good to come out of" of the reality television program, the Daily Mail reported Saturday.
When Stallone began the project, the Hollywood astrologer said she intended to win and she had "never lost anything in her life."

FILE - This file photo provided Friday, April 19, 2013 by the Federal Bureau of Investigation shows Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. A federal grand jury in Boston returned a 30-count indictment against Tsarnaev on Thursday, June 27, 2013, on charges including using a weapon of mass destruction and bombing a place of public use, resulting in death. (AP Photo/Federal Bureau of Investigation, File)
BOSTON (AP) -- Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to 30 counts including use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill.
He entered the plea Wednesday in federal court in Boston.
For the first one, he leaned toward a microphone and said, "Not guilty," in a Russian accent. He then said not guilty repeatedly about a half-dozen more times.
His sister sobbed loudly as he left the courtroom. He looked over and made a kiss motion with his mouth to his family.
Federal prosecutors are weighing whether to pursue the death penalty for the 19-year-old Tsarnaev.
Authorities say he and an older brother, Tamerlan, planted two bombs, which killed three people and wounded more than 260 at the April 15 marathon. The older brother was killed three days later following a shootout with police.

ODI 12c - Eclipse and Updated Mapping Builder Example
By David Allan-Oracle on Jan 12, 2015
The 12c ODI release offers a full SDK which allows great opportunities for automation. You can reduce development times and work smarter. Here I will show how to use Eclipse to configure and setup the the SDK to start working smarter. In this example I will use an updated version of Mapping Builder which is a sample SDK illustration I blogged about previously. The builder has been updated to include auto mapping of attributes, multiple targets, loading modes and more. The updated OdiMappingBuilder.java code used in this example is here.
There is a viewlet illustrating the using Eclipse and the ODI SDK here. The viewlet walks through the entire configuration of an Eclipse project using the 12.1.3 release of ODI.
The important areas are with respect to the libraries you need to define for the project, below you can see the libraries used from the ODI installation, I have installed my software in C:\Oracle\ODI_1213 in these examples.
Once the libraries are configured you can import the mapping builder java source code...
Then you must define how the code is executed, you specify the parameters as arguments. This is of course an example for illustration, you can define how you would like this to be done in whatever way you like. You specify all of the mapping builder parameters here. I also pass the control file as a parameter rather than via stdin (which is what I did in previous blog posts).
I mentioned the mapping builder code now supports auto mapping, multiple targets and loading mode, you can see an example driver file below. The line starting with >mapping has 2 qualifiers, below I have used EQUALS and IGNORECASE. The first parameter supports the following values;
- EQUALS - supports matching EMPNO with EMPNO (or empno with EMPNO when IGNORECASE used for example)
- SRCENDSWITH - supports matching source XEMPNO with EMPNO (plus case option as above)
- TGTENDSWITH - supports matching source EMPNO with XEMPNO (plus case option as above)
The second parameter supports;
- MATCH - exact match, matches EMPNO with EMPNO or empno with empno
- IGNORECASE - supports mismatched case matching EMPNO matches empno
As well as auto mapping you can also specify specific column level mapping explicitly as was previously supported, the viewlet has an example.
You can also see the control file has a target_load directive which can be given a condition or else in the final field, this let's you load multiple conditional based targets. This is a new addition to the existing target directive. So the example has 3 directives now;
- target - load via insert/append the data
- targetinc - incremental update / merge the data
- target_load - insert multiple targets
In the example above, the following mapping is created, you can see the multiple conditional based targets and data is mapped all from a simple driver file;
Using Eclipse you can quickly build and debug your utilities and applications using the SDK and get the benefits of using an IDE such as code insight and auto completion.
Check out the viewlet and the mapping builder example plus the blogs on the SDK such as the recent one on the SDK overview and work smarter. Also, the updated OdiMappingBuilder.java code used in this example is here - get an overview of the mapping builder here.

TUCSON, Ariz. - The No. 22 University of Arizona volleyball team topped Washington State 3-1 Friday evening in McKale Center in front of 1,342. Set scores were: 25-13, 19-25, 25-16, 25-23.
Tiffany Owens and Candace Nicholson led the way statistically with Owens going for her 16th double-double of the year with 17 kills and 12 digs while Nicholson matched her 12 digs and also recorded four assists. Setter Paige Weber had 34 assists, nine digs and six kills.
"This was a win we needed to have," said head coach Dave Rubio. "We'll take the win no matter how we got it, but at this point, we need to step up, and everyone needs to play better. We're a week away from our last match, and everyone needs to start playing at the level they are capable of. As a team, we need to be more assertive and proactive."
Coach Dave Rubio Post Match
With the win, Arizona improves to 19-9 overall and 8-7 in conference while WSU falls to 0-15 in league and 6-19 overall.
"The first game, Paige (Weber) had about seven serves that gave us a lot of momentum, but in the second game we got comfortable, and let them back in the game," said Nicholson. "We came back, and that's all that matters. If you're not ready, a team like Washington State can beat you."
In set one, UA jumped out to a huge lead behind the setting of Weber and kills from Dosty and Owens. Arizona started things off with a 6-0 run and furthered it by leading 15-2. After WSU's second timeout, the Cougs attempted to answer with a 6-1 run of their own. But the Wildcats kept up the pressure and took set one 25-13. In addition to Weber's serving her four digs and eight assists were big for UA.
Play was decidedly much closer in set two with Washington State opening up a 9-5 lead on Arizona. The Cougs lead would grow to 14-9 which prompted a timeout by Rubio. The Cats would rally to close the gap to 17-13 but would get no closer as WSU won set two, 25-19.
Tied at 1-1, Arizona would respond well to a bit of adversity, coming back to win set three 25-16 with Owens tallying four kills and Weber dishing out nine assists. The Cats got things going mid way through the set taking a 8-3 run to comfortably lead the rest of the way.
UA proceeded to eek out set four after trailing late. The Wildcats, behind 22-21 received two kills from Weber and a solid match-point serve to set up Whitney Dosty to slam home the winning point. In the set, Weber had eight assists, a block and three kills.
"We can't go into games thinking that it's going to be an easy win. We were weak in our execution," added Nicholson. "We need to have better actions, not just say that we need to be better."
Next up for Arizona is No. 11 Washington tomorrow evening. Before the match, UA will honor five departing players in its traditional Senior Day events.

A Maui Onion Celebration
Wednesday - August 04, 2005
Ryan Arnaud (center) of Kahana, Maui, won last
year's keiki onion-eating contest by consuming
5.3 ounces in the 60-second time limit
There are food festivals to celebrate almost everything — many of them grand affairs that end up costing a small fortune to attend. But it is to The Maui Onion Festival that I give the title of "most unpretentious food event in Hawaii." The Maui Onion Festival doesn't claim to have the perfect location — although it has a very nice one on the shorefront at Whalers Village, Kaanapali. It doesn't feature clever wine pairings, it has no silent auction and it doesn't even have a cover charge. It just bills itself as a fun, family weekend celebrating the humble onion.
In the past 15 years, however, it has so successfully marketed itself that thousands of locals will flock there this weekend — and meet up with hundreds of returning Mainland tourists who come each year to enjoy the simple two-day event.
"I think that the festival offers something unique," says organizer and director of PR Aubrey Hawk, "in that we are able to bring a piece of upcountry Maui to Kaanapali — the ultimate resort. Every year I see tourists and locals standing chatting with farmers frying onion rings or selling their produce, and I think people feel like they're seeing a real slice of country life here."
Not to mention the fact that some of the top chefs on Maui give live (free) cooking demonstrations throughout the weekend. "The quality of the food here and the fact that people can sit and watch these remarkable chefs at work is really fun for people," comments Hawk.
For me, it's also one of the most satisfying food contests that I judge all year. While most people put a great deal of effort into preparing a dish for competition — they really get creative on Maui. The Maui Onion Professional cooking contest is one of the highest quality cooking contests in the islands. I always get the feeling that the chefs care so much who wins — and they stick strictly to rules that require them to feature the Maui onion in all its glory.
Last year's winner, Christopher Napoleon from the Kaanapali Beach Hotel, practiced making his recipe dozens of times before he entered it. His Maui Onion Stuffed Veal Loin with Maui Onion and Leek Fondue was a runaway winner with the judges. Of course, I'm a sucker for anything that celebrates local produce. And even more of one for a festival where farmers and chefs are the heroes of the day. But there really is something very simple and special about this weekend.
This year the festival will focus on children, and a variety of activities — including an onion-eating contest — should keep them occupied while moms and dads enjoy food samples from chefs such as Mark Ellman (Maui Tacos), Ivan Pahk (Vino) and Bobby Masters (Hula Grill).
The festival is Aug. 6 and 7 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For me, and for thousands of others who'll visit Whalers Village over the weekend, it offers a rare opportunity to take a deep breath, relax and take stock of the incredible beauty of Maui and its amazing produce.
I like to think of it as taking time to smell the onions.
Happy Eating!

Margaret Miller, who has spent an earthly lifetime in Amarillo, believes that "long ago, in the distant dim memory of man, there existed a ... time known as the Golden Age," one hinted at in myths, fables and science fiction.
In that original Golden Age, "mankind and all Creation, including other galaxies, star systems and planets, were beginning to share ... amazing wisdom and knowledge that resulted in universal peace."
For more than 30 years Miller has been pursuing her studies with the firm conviction that her ultimate duty is to share wisdom that can guide believers to a new Golden Age when inner peace will bring peace to the world.
She writes simply and understandably about concepts that may not be familiar or even congenial to people deaf to the spiritual voices that sound loud and clear to her.
The world may classify her book as "self-help/New Age." To Margaret Miller, it's a work she was destined to write to guide others on a pathway of self discovery and understanding of an inner world.
Title: Exploring The World Within: A Road Map
Author: Margaret Miller
Publisher: Nanca Press (Amarillo, TX)
Price: $14.95 (softback)
Lifting the veils to this inner world, in turn, she believes, would usher in a new Golden Age. MKT

Ken Dorsey: 'Jacory doesn't have to be Steve Walsh, Gino Torretta or Jim Kelly'
CORAL GABLES – I spoke to former Miami QB Ken Dorsey of the last 'Canes national championship team (2001) Wednesday night about leadership, current 'Canes starter Jacory Harris, and how he'd feel if he was the QB on the other end of 30 dropped passes in five games.
Here is what Dorsey had to say about those topics:
Jacory has had to deal with a lot of dropped passes. What would be your reaction and how would you deal with that if you were in his place?
"It all depends on the player and that player's personality. Some guys can handle you jumping on them, like, 'Hey, you've got to get it together. You can't be dropping balls.' Some guys you need to go up to them and say, 'Hey, you know, it's alright, you're going to get the next one.'
"I feel like what makes a great wide receiver is the quarterback not even needing to say anything, that guy being p—– off because he let his quarterback down. I always felt the guys I had were like that. I never even worried about anything like that. They dropped balls. They're going to drop balls. And my guys dropped balls. But I knew, with those guys, I didn't have to worry about saying anything to them. I didn't have to worry about, who knows if they can handle me getting on them?
"Because I knew they were mentally strong guys and they had a lot of pride. They had a lot of pride in themselves, and what they put out on the field and in the University of Miami."
Just curious, have you talked to Jacory?
"I talked to him last year. I've tried calling him this year, but I haven't gotten a hold of him.
"Up here, I turned off my text messaging because it was costing me a bunch of money [I can vouch for that having been to Canada many times for NHL]. That's how I would usually talk to him a lot, because I don't to hound him or anything like that. I just want him to know I think he's doing the right things and support him.
"Because I think he's a heck of a football player. So I've tried calling him, but I just haven't been able to get a hold of him this year. But I want to as much as I can because it's a tough situation he's in with this stretch of games. Their schedule was brutal at the beginning of the year, and they got through it pretty respectably.
"But this stretch is going to be huge here, how they bounce back from Florida State."
When you've texted and talked, has it been about football or other stuff?
"Mostly about football, but in the offseason I wanted to make sure he was doing OK because he got banged up a little last year.
What advice would you give him right now in regard to what he's going through?
"More than anything, just to stay confident. Never lose that confidence. Because they've got a great football team. And he doesn't have to do anything else but be himself. He doesn't have to live up to anything else but what his team needs and that's for him to perform. He doesn't have to be Steve Walsh or Gino Torretta or Jim Kelly. He just has to be Jacory Harris. He wouldn't be there if that wasn't enough. I don't think Coach Shannon would have him starting if that wouldn't be enough for that team to win football games. There's no pressure. There's just a bunch of guys behind him that believe he can get the job done."
Coach Shannon has said the responsibility of vocal leadership falls on the players. What are your thoughts on the importance of that?
"It's HUGE. When you've got leadership on a team like that, all of a sudden, coaches don't have to say anything. As a player, you kind of police yourselves. A lot of times you just do the right thing, not because you're scared but because you respect the guys on your team so much that you just do the right thing. It's just natural. That's when you have a special team.
"Ed Reed is always the one guy who comes to mind for me. He was a guy who it didn't matter who you were…you could be a player on a team, you could be a guy from corporate America, you could be anybody…and he could sit there, make you feel good about yourself, hang out and talk. He was just that kind of guy and that type of leader that everybody respected. When you've got guys like that you want to play for each other more.
"A lot of times it's not even saying anything. It's just going out and doing something. You don't always have to be a vocal guy, yelling, all that stuff. Sometimes you've just got to go out and perform, do your job and that's leadership. Just do what you're supposed to do on the field and then guys are like, 'Wow, this guy is a pretty solid guy. Look at what he does to prepare himself for a game. Maybe I should be doing that.'
"There's a lot of different ways to lead. But when you have solid leadership on a team it makes all the difference in the world."
Put yourself in Saturday's game. What would you have done during that game on the sideline to try to get guys fired up and at what point?
[Dorsey struggled with his answer here, starting and re-starting a few times, I got the sense he didn't want to take a shot at the current players or try to tell them how they should or shouldn't do things. And that perhaps was a tough spot for me to put him in. Eventually, Dorsey answered]
"I think in a situation like that, you almost just have to kind of wake guys up, get in guys' faces a little bit — nothing derogatory. Nothing to put anybody down, but you've got to at some point speak up and just wake people up.
"It's just so hard to say because you never know the atmosphere on the sideline [watching on TV] and that's what dictates what you do a lot of times. How guys are feeling mentally or how the flow of the game is going, things like that, dictate a lot of times how you handle the situation."
When's a time you remember that you had to really be vocal during a game?
"My personality was one that I wasn't really a locker-room speech, rah-rah guy or anything like that. My whole thing was on the practice field. That's where I felt like we set ourselves apart as a team. I mean, we were competitive on the practice field. Our scout team would try to pick me off every day and when they did, I'd get p—–. I'd get p—– at myself, I'd get p—– at everything because I wanted things to be perfect. That's what I expected.
When somebody screws up a route or something like that, they know I'm p—– off about it. That kind of put the pressure on them to know their stuff, to know exactly what they had to do. They had to know the route adjustment, everything like that, because they knew if they didn't get it right, it affects me to the point where, 'shoot, he doesn't know his stuff. He knows the ball is not going to him.'
"Sometimes it takes pulling a guy aside and just being like, 'Hey, you need to focus in and get your stuff together here because you're not playing like you're capable of."
During a game, who was the player/s who got on guys?
"I don't think it ever really got to that point for us. I can never remember a point where anybody really needed to do that. Either because we always felt we were in control…we always felt like no matter what the situation was, we were going to win this game…when we were playing Florida State my senior year we were down, but at no point was anybody panicking, yelling or screaming on the sideline.
"Everybody was completely in control, completely calm, focused, because we just felt like we knew we were going to win every game. That's what made us that good, because we expected to win. We knew with any situation, no matter what it was, we just felt like we were going to win that game. It was just that confidence."
You couldn't see that confidence in UM players' demeanor Saturday. Is that something you naturally had or did you develop it?
"I think we developed it. I really do. Because when I came in, my first year there, we lost a few games [four], but once you start winning…winning and losing are two things that become contagious. Once you get on a roll of winning football games, you get that confidence. You see a lot of times too, once you get on that roll of losing games, you just find ways to blow it. It's a little thing here that costs you a game, a little thing there.
"I'm not saying at all that's what's going on with Miami because they've got a great team that's young and learning how to win. And sometimes you've got to get kicked in the mouth to realize 'we've got to change things around here,' which happened when I was there. We went out to Washington, and we lost in a tight game, but when you get punched in the mouth, how do you come back from that? It shows the true character of a team."

Oct. 18, 2007
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Pacific-10 Conference football officials are joining other college and professional officials to demonstrate their support of this worthy cause.
In all Pac-10 football games during the last two weeks of October, Pac-10 officials will be using pink whistles as a symbol of support in combating this deadly disease.
In addition, in another initiative Pac-10 officials have combined to make a financial donation to The V Foundation for Cancer Research and will wear commemorative pins on their uniforms on National College Football Day on November 3.
"The fight against cancer is a most worthwhile cause," said Pac-10 Commissioner Tom Hansen. "I am proud of the Pac-10 football officials for showing their support of the fight against breast cancer with the symbolic pink whistle, as well as for their most generous donation to the Jimmy V Fund.
"Progress is being made in the fight against cancer, but we must remain aggressive."

In the week's episode of On the Fly with Isabel Williams, teammates Bianca Casciari and Stephanie Christofferson talk about the new uniforms the team was sized for this week.
FINA, the governing body of international swimming, banned speed suits a few years ago due to the insane amount of records being broken while swimmers were wearing them. The Bruin trio talk about the difficulty getting into the new suits, but the freedom the new design allows on their shoulders.

The city of Ferguson Missouri has approximately 20,000 residents. There are 67% black and about 30% white. The city used to be made up of mostly white back in 2000 but over the years the ratio had changed. What hasn't changed is that the police force which consists of 53 members has only 3 black officers. The city administration is made up of mostly white. There has been unrest ever since the shooting death of a young black 18 year old by a white police officer.
Here is the strangest of all things, the police have been receiving equipment from the Department of Defense under what's called the 1033 program. This is a law enforcement program that allows municipalities the opportunity to pick up equipment to fight crime in their communities. Now this is rather strange for a community that only has some 20,000 people who really didn't have any sort of major crime in the town. Why then would a town of this small size need to have all the paramilitary equipment that has been seen lately on the TV
Rioting and looting has been taking place since the shooting. Most of the time though the protests have been peaceful. The police have been using tear gas and rubber bullets to try and break up the crowds. The police have been arresting anybody who doesn't move quickly enough when they are told to disperse. Two reporters and an Alderman were arrested when they didn't move quickly enough for the police the other night.
The force that this small police has been using is reminiscent of what the Gestapo of the 1930's Nazi Germany used on its own people. Has the United States of America begun to use the tactics of the Nazis. Many see that the use of paramilitary equipment and the training that is used leads to the officers thinking they are at war with crime and drugs. The idea that is being used is that the citizenry of the United States are just as armed as the police. Which is a falsehood that most of this country would deny.
Should the people of Ferguson be out and about destroying public property no they shouldn't. The family of the young man Michael Brown have called for no violence but that seems to be falling on deaf ears.
The country has taken up the cause to protest as among some 90 other cities have taken to the streets in protest of the police shooting. Seeing police officers in riot gear riding among military vehicles in a city the size of Ferguson makes a person think that government and local police have taken it upon themselves to make us as citizens feel as if we have gone back in time to what was called Nazi Germany.

If you are a level 5 fighter who just picked up two-weapon fighting, even if you don't have multiple attacks, would you be able to attack with two weapons?
Specifics: Weapon training: blades, heavy; using a pair of Longswords +1
If you are a level 5 fighter who just picked up two-weapon fighting, even if you don't have multiple attacks, would you be able to attack with two weapons?
Specifics: Weapon training: blades, heavy; using a pair of Longswords +1
Yes. In Pathfinder, any character can fight with two weapons by taking a full-attack action to attack with his primary weapon and his off-hand weapon. Having a higher base attack bonus merely gives you extra attacks with your primary weapon.
From the the combat section of the Pathfinder System Reference Document, here is the relevant text:
Longswords aren't light, so at level 5, you could use a full-attack action to make one attack with your primary longsword at a -4 penalty, then one attack with your off-hand longsword at a -4 penalty. At level 6, you would be able to make two attacks with your primary longsword–one at a -4 penalty, and one at a -9 penalty–then one attack with your offhand weapon at a -4 penalty.
I'm no expert on optimization, but I suspect you would be better off using a light weapon in your off-hand. That would reduce the penalties for each attack by 2 and have little effect on your damage.
Note that using two-weapon fighting requires a full-attack action, not a standard action. In general, this means you can't move and attack with both weapons in the same round. However, you can use a standard action to attack with either weapon.
Fighting with two-weapons automatically grants an additional attack, which is in addition to the number of attacks one is granted from their Base Attack Bonus. A character who normally has 1 attack will have 2 when fighting with two weapons under normal conditions, and likewise someone with 4 attacks would have 5 (however, it's likely to be more - feats revolving around such a build continue to add an even greater number of attacks.) One can decide to fight with "two weapons" even when unarmed, leveraging the use of both hands (or simply twice as much abstract body-parts, if a monk), meaning that anyone can simply gain this extra attack whenever they wish (although as with all cases of multiple attacks, it's only useful when taking a full-round action), and even a commoner can fight with two attacks per round (although not very well - the Two-Weapon Fighting feat is critical to make it viable).

Morsi arrives in Cairo court on jailbreak charges
Former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has arrived in Cairo for a trial over charges on a prison break during the 2011 uprising against Hosni Mubarak.
The state news agency reported that Morsi flew by helicopter from Borg al-Arab prison in Alexandria, while some 130 others who are on trial with him were driven to Cairo.
Previously, Morsi had been under investigation for the January 28, 2011 prison break along with members of the Brotherhood, during the nationwide revolt against Mubarak's rule.
Amid a breakdown in law and order, riots had broken out in several prisons, and thousands of inmates escaped over several days with outside help.
Prosecutors say the prisons came under attack by elements from the Brotherhood, Hamas and Hezbollah to free Islamist inmates.
Several members of the Palestinian and Lebanese militant groups were imprisoned in Egyptian jails and escaped during the unrest.
A lawyer has said the trial appears to be aimed at "denigrating" Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood group, according to the Associated Press.
Tuesday's trial will be Morsi's second court appearance since the military led his popularly-backed ouster on July 3.
Morsi will also be standing trial for "espionage" involving Hamas and is already on trial for allegedly inciting the killings of opposition activists during his one year in power.
