Actually, they wore the bikini bottoms in the games I've seen on TV. They wore more substantial tops, but that may have been due to the cool temps. Not all the girls on the same team wore them, though. I think they can choose. It was on some crazy sports channel here.
Anyone want to start a team at Sands in DSM this summer? Haven't played in a couple years, but always enjoy a little sand volleyball.
I dont know about all schools- but it is not your normal home and away games. There are 2 per team and 5 teams. I have seen most teams wear a track singlet and either bikini bottoms or the 2" or 4" boy shorts.
For Nebraska they will go to Hawaii for a week over spring break and play 5 matches then the next week they go to Phoenix and play 4 more there. Then thats a rap on the season.
The team consists of the same players as the indoor team has in the fall. Some players may not choose to play sand if they dont want to. I think that it is a recruiting advantage if you do have sand volleyball. Girls that are good enough to play both arent going to go to a school that only plays indoor. Does ISU have its own indoor sand court(s) to practice at? Until the sport gets bigger the team will always go Florida, California, Arizona, Hawaii for their matches.
This is what Nebraska wore for its sand season. I assume all schools are similar

-- Judge Mary Lou Robinson
Texas Beef Group v. Oprah Winfrey (1998)
April 14, 2000
While the proposed bill has an intentionally or with reckless disregard requirement, it does not satisfy the First Amendment of and concerning requirement. Moreover, H-190 is also problematic in how it defines false information, namely, as information that is not based on verifiable fact or on reliable scientific data or evidence. Finally, the proposed measure allows for attorney fees and costs for a successful plaintiff but not a successful defendant.
In 1998, Senator Patrick Leahy (D.-Vt.) issued a statement opposing food-libel laws.
February 11, 2000
Said the court: Lymans opinions, though strongly stated, were based on truthful, established fact, are not actionable under the First Amendment.
Notably, the court added: Stripped to its essentials, the cattlemens complaint is that [Oprahs] Dangerous Food show did not present the Mad Cow issue in the light most favorable to United States beef. This argument cannot prevail.
The ruling affirms peoples right to speak their opinions and reaffirms that editing is what editors are for, and not for judges or the legal system, said Charles L. Babcock, Oprahs attorney.
This is the latest in an unbroken string of victories against industry plaintiffs who have invoked food-libel laws to silence food critics, said Ronald Collins of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which filed an amicus brief in support of Ms. Winfrey. The brief presented to the Fifth Circuit was co-authored with the Society of Professional Journalists, the Association of American Publishers, and the Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression.
The Oprah victory, said Collins, was based on very narrow statutory grounds. And while it was an important win, it was a costly one, which would have bankrupted most other defendants. That is why these laws need to be repealed or struck down because they punish the innocent for exercising their First Amendment rights.
The Future: At this time it is unknown whether the plaintiff-cattlemen will appeal the Fifth Circuits ruling. Meanwhile, Oprah2 (the same kind of food-libel case though originally brought in state court) is pending before Federal District Judge Mary Lou Robinson for a jurisdictional determination.

Related news item: The New York Times ran a front-page story on June 1, 1999 entitled Farmers Right to Sue Grows, Raising Debate on Food Safety. The article, by Melody Petersen, discussed how food-libel laws affect book publishers and the electronic media.
[The Baltimore Sun, June 10, 1999]
March 22, 1999
When news of the proposed law spread, it met with strong opposition.
Both the Arkansas Democrat Gazette (3-10-99) and the Morning News
(3-10-99) editorialized against HB 1938. The Arkansas Press Association
(led by C. Dennis Schick) and the Arkansas ACLU (led by Rita Sklar)
also strongly opposed the bill, as did a variety of other local groups.
Professors John Di Pippa and Rick Peltz (U. Ark. Law School, Little Rock)
prepared testimony contesting the measures constitutionality. Professor
Rodney Smolla (U. Richmond Law School) sent a five-page memo
to the chair of the Senate Committee. Christopher Finan, president of the
American Booksellers Foundation for Freedom of Expression, also
sent a letter of opposition
and helped organize local book sellers to oppose the bill.
On March 16, 1999 (James Madisons birthday) HB 1938 came
up for a vote before the Senate Agricultural Committee. The measure
failed when no one made a motion to take action on it. Senator Mike
Everett said: My suggestion is euthanasia. Pat Ford, a local blueberry
farmer, testified against the bill: I want researchers on pesticides to be
able to ask hard questions and tell me what the effects of those chemicals
are without having to worry about getting sued. (Arkansas Democrat Gazette,
Though unlikely, the measure could be amended and reintroduced sometime
before the Arkansas legislative session ends in April, 1999. For an online
report, see the Freedom Forum article
and editorial
on the proposed Arkansas food-libel bill.

It isn't that they hate him it's the fact he fights solo and makes an aggressive "I am the King" speech in every battle. Worse for Animal Man, it seems that because their powers are animal kingdom based they are always teamed up together.
Despite B'wana's grandstanding, the rest of the JLU take out the apes. Still Superman, leader of the strike team confronts B'wana and the two almost come to blows.
This is another thing that Animal Man hates... being grouped with a hothead means he often has to act as a mediator.
Back on the Satellite Superman asks Animal Man to help B'wana understand that JLU is about being a TEAM. Naturally B'wana doesn't take too kindly to being told what to do but despite their intervention failing Superman asks Animal Man to keep trying.
Mr. Terrific interrupts them with an emergency.
Queen Bee has turned Downtown into a giant bee colony and it's up to Superman, Animal Man, Fire, and Booster Gold to stop her. B'wana volunteers for the strike team. Much to Superman's distress. Animal Man stands up for his 'partner' and B'wana is allowed to join them.
They arrive and are immediately drawn into battle. Each use their powers to great effect and it looks like the tide may turn in their favour - until Superman is taken out by miniature mutant bees invading his ear canal.
Suddenly, Fire's smoke doesn't work, Booster can't out fly them and B'wana is being repeatedly stung. Animal Man is able to get close to Queen Bee but as he's about to take her out, he is ambushed by larger bees. B'wana abandons his 'king of all beasts' attitude to rescue his team mate.
Animal Man tries various animal personas to fend off the bees and their leader; all failing, until he takes B'wana's lead at being a team player.
Taking on the persona of a bee and attacking the Queen suddenly makes ALL the bee's resolve to attack their controller.
With team work they finally succeed and save the day.
Despite all he's learned about being a team mate B'wana is still too hot-headed to admit he's equal to the others. Even though they know he'll never drop the act Superman and Animal Man are just happy he's finally learned to be in the JLU as team player!
Story - 5: I've always hated Vixen, and her male counterpart is a much more fun, interesting character so it was cool he shared the spotlight with Superman and B'wana Beast. I am guessing Queen Bee made an appearance due to her role in the JLH video game and I'm pleased that's the case because previous to that I'd never heard of her.
I had once thought this title was ripe for the executioner's block but the more I've stuck with the title the more I am enjoying it!
Art - 5: I think this title has grown in strength in the art deparment with each passing issue. I love the fact that there is plenty of cameo character interacting and the detail they receive. Long may it continue!
Cover Art - 4: Superman on the cover! Killer apes on the cover! Cool beans! Superman doesn't usually grace the cover and though he's taking a beating this issue it still ups the grabability factor of the book! NICE!

OKI Printing Solutions Supports Launch of 'Pompey Double Club Indonesia'
Jakarta, 5th February 2008
Education sports initiative to help improve English language skills
Following an approach by The British Council, which was looking for a sport-based education program to improve English language skills in the Far East, OKI Printing Solutions (OKI) and Portsmouth Football Club have joined forces with Pompey Study Center to expand its 'Pompey Double Club' initiative into Indonesia.
Pompey Double Club Indonesia, which was launched on 27 November 2007, is to undergo an initial six month trial for 12-13 year-olds in nine schools in Jakarta and Jogjakarta. Subject to the success of the pilot programme, Pompey Double Club may be rolled out to other countries in the Far East, including Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Japan.
"In addition to football kits provided by Portsmouth Football Club, as part of the program we will supply full printing support, enabling posters and all other themed education materials to fully reflect the Pompey brand," says OKI Printing Solutions' Global Brand General Manager, Tsutomu Miyamoto.
Football incentive
Introduced in 2005, Pompey Double Club is an exciting education program being delivered in secondary schools in the Portsmouth area, using an innovative 'Pompey themed' literacy and numeracy curriculum with the incentive of involvement with football. "It is designed to motivate, inspire and encourage under-achieving pupils, at the same time building their confidence and self-esteem and increase their desire for learning," says Pompey Study Center's Clare Martin.
In Indonesia, as in Portsmouth, in each school children are taught in dedicated classrooms by a designated Double Club teacher. "The 'double' aspect of the program means that children follow their classroom activities with coaching sessions," confirms Martin, "In Indonesia, these are provided by qualified Asia Soccer Academy coaches, led by Lee Hawkins, born and bred in Portsmouth and a life-long Pompey fan."
The selected Muhammediyah schools are part of an Indonesian Muslim-based organisation which runs schools, universities and hospitals and one of whose aims is to build international bridges through language learning.
Common framework
The program incorporates a common assessment framework, based on language ability and footballing skills, including team-building, leadership, attitude, discipline, fair play and respect for opponents and the referee.
"OKI fully supports these positive educational aims," says Miyamoto. "in addition, the culmination of these parallel programs will be a 'grand final' between the winning Double Club teams from Indonesia and Portsmouth at Fratton Park in April 2008."
Longer term, subsequent Double Club finals may take place in the Far East, as Portsmouth Football Club continues to grow its local presence, in part through its participation in the Asia Cup.

Once their goals are met the pre approvals are off the table. I've never known a pre approval that didn't have a finite amount of time or a specific "good until" date associated with the offer. It's unreasonable to think their offers are going to be indefinite - especially in this market.As markets, USAA's customer portfolio, etc change so will their pre-approval offers.
Unless your situation has changed greatly I would think even with the pre-approval off the table you have a great chance of being accepted.Message Edited by idmd on 12-03-2009 04:34 PM
I appreciate what you're saying, but this is not a pre-approval or custom-tailored offers issue....this is a membership-related eligibility issue affecting all non-military USAA members.

E-cigarettes have appeared on the market and are promoted as a safe or safer alternative to tobacco cigarettes. They are a relatively new product compared to traditional cigarettes for smokers, but not a lot of time has passed since their introduction. Because of this, limited research results have become available to judge their overall safety as a tobacco alternative or cigarette smokers.
While never smoking is the best way to avoid tobacco use, and the detrimental effects of smoking are well known (cancer, emphysema, soaring medical costs, etc.) e-cigarette producers are aggressively promoting their products. At the same time, the FDA is scrambling to propose regulations that include banning sales to minors and requiring manufacturers to register all of their products and ingredients with the FDA.
"I like these proposals; the public needs clarity on smoking alternatives because we have 42.1 million adult tobacco smokers [CDC, 2012] who may be able to benefit from them," says Anthony Sarvucci, CEO of American Heritage International, (www.americanheritageonline.com), a company that develops e-cigarettes expressly for adult tobacco smokers who want to quit but have not succeeded.
"The bottom line is that we know how terrible traditional cigarettes are for people, but there has been a vacuum of information about e-cigs, which leads to a great deal of misinformation, some fear-mongering, and even simply making stuff up."
Sarvucci gives these reasons why e-cigarettes are a positive alternative to traditional cigarettes:
• Traditional cigarettes contain poisons and chemicals that can kill humans these include acetone (nail polish remover), acetic acid (in hair dye), benzene (rubber cement), arsenic (rat poison), and more.
• His brand of e-cigarettes contains only fluids of water vapor and "food grade" ingredients: kosher vegetable glycerin and vegetable propylene and natural flavoring, and the nicotine is derived naturally, whatever that may mean.
• Traditional cigarette smoking harms all body organs, while e-cigarettes don't while mimicking a traditional smoking experience for adults.
• In American culture, admitting that one needs help quitting smoking can be difficult. E-cigarettes can be a help that does not cause social embarrassment.
Quitting smoking is an individual decision and is different for every person. Smokers wishing to quit often seek advice and help from their medical provider. Many states offer help and some provide free classes and even products. E-cigarettes are one possible option that may help.

Three first-round losses and two of the upset variety put the Iowa wrestling team in a tough position after the first session of the NCAA Wrestling Championships at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
But a bounce-back round in the night session propelled the second-ranked Hawkeyes from ninth to fourth in the team standings and six Iowa grapplers will compete in today's quarterfinals. The Hawkeyes are one of just two schools (Minnesota is the other) with six wrestlers still alive in the championship bracket.
Iowa sent all 10 of its wrestlers to nationals and every one of them will compete Friday. The Hawkeyes went 7-3 in the opening round and then finished 6-1 in the championship side of the bracket in the night session. All four wrestlers who lost Thursday though are still alive after securing wrestleback wins in the consolation side of the bracket.
The Hawkeyes have scored 20.5 points and trail three-time defending national champion Penn State (26.5), Minnesota (21.5) and Oklahoma State (21.5) in the team standings. Iowa also is tied for fourth with Oklahoma.
Nathan Burak's 4-3 win in the closing seconds highlighted the championship round. Burak, ranked 11th at 197, trailed sixth-seeded Richard Perry of Bloomsburg, 3-2, before rallying with a takedown in the final seconds.
"I knew there was 12 seconds left when we came back to the middle," said Burak, who will face No. 14 Chris Penny of Virginia Tech in the 197-pound quarterfinals. "I went for a double, got in pretty deep and just tried to finish right away. I made sure my toe was in, heard everyone yell two, and saw the ref gave me two. It felt good."
Derek St. John will be in the 157-pound quarterfinals for the fourth straight season. The defending national champion won his first-round match by decision and then dominated The Citadel's Aaron Walker, 18-5, in the second round. He will face Cornell's Brian Realbuto in today's quarterfinals.
It has not been an easy run for third-seeded Tony Ramos at 133. The senior and defending national runner-up needed a late takedown to win his opener and then punched his ticket into the quarters with an overtime 6-4 win over 14th seeded Zain Richards of Illinois. Ramos will meet sixth-seeded Mason Beckman of Lehigh in today's quarters. Ramos beat Beckman 3-1 in a dual meet earlier this season.
Cory Clark trailed 2-0 in both of his matches Thursday before rallying to win. His final win was an 8-5 victory over ninth-seeded Tyler Cox of Wyoming.
Clark's next opponent is defending champion Jesse Delgado of Illinois. They wrestled at the Big Ten Championships two weeks ago and Delgado won 4-3.
Fourth-seeded Mike Evans will get a rematch of the Big Ten semifinals when he faces Penn State's Matt Brown in the quarters. Evans topped Bloomsburg's Mike Dessino, 7-3, to reach the quarters. Evans and Brown, the No. 5 seed, have split four career meetings.
Iowa heavyweight Bobby Telford advanced to the quarters for the second time in his career. He used a third-period takedown and 2:39 of riding time to do it, beating Maryland's Spencer Myers 3-0.
Telford, the No. 5 seed, will face Michigan's fourth-seeded Adam Coon in the quarters. Coon won the previous two meetings this season.
As good as the six second-round wins were for Iowa, the bonus points the Hawkeyes scored in the consolation round may have been bigger.
After losing their openers, unranked Josh Dziewa (141) scored a 24-7 technical fall, while fifth-seeed Nick Moore and fifth-seeded Ethen Lofthouse both won by major decisions.
"We have to keep that going and that's the key," said UI head coach Tom Brands. "It's about one match at a time to get as high on the stand as you can. We'll take those battles one at a time. We have a lot of work to do on both sides of the bracket."
Brody Grothus suffered Iowa's lone defeat of the second session. Grothus lost 13-5 to defending champion Kendric Maple (Oklahoma) and will compete tomorrow in the consolation bracket.
Action resumes Friday at 10 a.m. Session three will be televised on ESPNU and streamed online at espn3.com.

Samsung Galaxy S II will be available in the UK on April 27
Contrary to previous information, it looks like the Samsung Galaxy S II will become available in the UK on April 27. After much fuss about whether the superphone was or wasn't delayed in order to fit a new, more powerful processor, Samsung has officially announced that the Galaxy S II would hit UK stores on May 1.
However, things have changed a bit in the meantime. If you want to be one of the first to get a Galaxy S II in the UK (or worldwide, for that matter), read on.
UK retailer Phones4u will get you the smartphone on April 27, if you pre-order it right now. At first it looked like this could be a mistake, when discovered by DialToSave earlier today. It was unclear what was going on, until Pocket-lint later received confirmation from the retailer that it will, indeed, be the first to offer the Galaxy S II in the UK. Pre-ordered devices are also confirmed to start arriving in customers' hands on April 27.
So if you're waiting for what is one of the top specced smartphones of 2011 (at least so far), the good news is that there's only one more week to wait. So why not head on over to Phones4u and take care of that pre-order in the meantime.
The Samsung Galaxy S II was first shown during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February. Since then it has received a processor upgrade, and the newly revised specs are as follows: a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, a 4.3-inch 480×800 Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen, 1 GB of RAM, 16 or 32 GB of internal storage further expandable via a microSD card slot, an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and 1080p HD video recording, a 2 MP front-facing camera for video calls, Wi-Fi, HSDPA 21 Mbps and HSUPA 5.76 Mbps, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, FM radio, 3.5 mm headset jack, and a 1650 mAh battery. The Samsung Galaxy S II runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Yellow Jacket Tennis Upsets No. 6 Duke 4-0
Freshman Kendal Woodard clinches win over Blue Devils
April 6, 2013
DURHAM, N.C. - The Georgia Tech women's tennis team upset the No. 6 ranked Duke Blue Devils 4-0 on a picturesque Saturday afternoon at the Ambler Tennis Stadium in Durham, N.C. The Yellow Jackets were able to hand the Blue Devils their first ACC loss of the season.
The Blue Devils are the highest ranked team Tech has defeated since the Yellow Jackets downed No. 1 North Carolina 4-3 on April 25, 2010, in the ACC Tournament. The win improves Tech, ranked No. 27, to 10-7 overall and 4-3 in the ACC while the Blue Devils fall to 13-4 overall and 4-1 in the conference.
"We competed well yesterday and had some bad luck, but North Carolina has a really good team," head coach Rodney Harmon said. "I think we learned a lot yesterday. We were able to play against Duke today, who has a great tradition and a great team. They are a bit depleted with only five players which puts them in a hole. They have such a proud program and they have so many good competitors and good players that it was a bit of a dogfight.
"We were able to win the doubles point with a 9-8 tiebreak at No. 1 doubles," Harmon added. "Muriel played extremely well at five for us. We were fortunate to have Kendal close out the match for us against a very good player in Mary Clayton, who is a senior. We're happy to be able to get a split over here on Tobacco Road and head back home to face a very good Virginia team who upset No. 1 UNC and then a tough Virginia Tech team."
Freshmen Kendal Woodard and Megan Kurey clinched the doubles point for the Yellow Jackets with a hard-fought 9-8 win over Hanna Mar and Mary Clayton at the No. 1 doubles position. Duke forfeited at the No. 3 position to give the Jackets two out of three wins.
The Blue Devils also forfeited at No. 6 singles to put Georgia Tech up 2-0. Junior Muriel Wacker downed Nicole Lipp 6-1, 6-0 on court five to put the Yellow Jackets up 3-0. Wacker improved to 11-5 this year with the win and the Zurich, Switzerland, native has now won five straight matches and seven of her last nine.
Woodard clinched the Tech victory with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Clayton, ranked No. 99, on court two. It was the 18th win of the year for Woodard, which leads the Yellow Jackets.
The Jackets will return to Atlanta for the final home weekend of the season when Tech hosts the Virginia Cavaliers at 12 p.m., Saturday, April 13 and the Virginia Tech Hokies at 12 p.m., Sunday, April 14. Both matches will be at the Ken Byers Tennis Complex, and are free and open to the public.
Fans are encouraged to follow Georgia Tech women's tennis on Twitter, @GT_WTEN, and like the Yellow Jackets on Facebook, GTWomensTennis, for an inside look at the program.

Human Ken dishing on Human Barbie – oh the depths of the superficial platitudes. The Human Ken, 33-year-old Justin Jedlica and his one-hundred plus plastic surgeries, ripped on his vainglorious counterpart, 28-year-old Human Barbie Valeria Lukyanova, saying he "just doesn't get her."
Umm, you're not the only one Ken.
Eonline on April 7 has the scoop: "While we grew up with the idea that Ken and Barbie were the ideal couple—rolling around in their Beach Cruiser, strutting the latest fashion and living in a pink palace—such is not the case when it comes to Human Ken and Human Barbie."
Said Jedlica to GQ: "We met at a photo shoot. She's a cute girl, but I don't really get her. I don't get why people think she's so interesting. She has extensions. She wears stage makeup. She's an illusionist."
And he's not?
Jedlica explains his plastic surgeries as if he is describing his children:
My baby is my shoulders, because nobody has anything like them. I divided these so there's six pieces—front, middle, and back. Just like the actual anatomy... I'm working with a silicone-fabrication company to do an artistic muscle-augmentation-implant line. So all the implants I'm paying custom for myself right now, like my shoulders, my quads, my abs, the lats...t hey'll hopefully be available to plastic surgeons.
We'll give him this – while the Human Ken looks ridiculous, at least he's not making headline news with talk of aliens, eating air, and a disgust with mixing races.
Valeria Lukyanova, the Human Barbie, will never have kids; they repulse her, almost as much as mixed races do. The 28-year-old Ukrainian model slash sideshow weighed in on children and different nationalities, telling GQ that the integration of ethnic groups have ruined standards of beauty.
Valeria Lukyanova kids: Human Barbie hates kids, says mixed races 'ruin' beauty
When asked about children, Lukyanova's words reveal her immeasurable depths of superficiality:
It's unacceptable to me. The very idea of children brings out this deep revulsion in me... I'd rather die from torture because the worst thing in the world is to have a family lifestyle. I'm against feminism... what would you keep the children for? So they can get you a glass of water when you're on your deathbed?
With her vacuumed up 19-inch waist, skeleton-like arms, enormously augmented chest, strangely colored contact lenses and heavy, heavy makeup, Valeria has become analogous to the plastic Barbie doll that she so eminently worships.
Last month, Lukyanova said she had converted to Breatharianism, and no longer requires food.
Human Barbie Valeria Lukyanova: 'Breatharian' starves herself on 'light and air'
Unlike many things that orbit the obtuse world of the wacky model, Breatharianism is an actual following – at least as defined by the fact that the outlandish teaching has adherents.
According to rationalwiki.org, Breatharianism is an old, new age idea that "one can live without food and drink, and subsist only off of 'pranic light.' According to practitioners, pranic light is accurate, channeled information from a huge invisible spaceship hovering over North America."
Jedlica and Lukyanova evidently are quite content to dislike one another.
"Valeria presents herself as a real-life Barbie doll, but she is nothing more than an illusion who dresses like a drag queen," Ken reportedly said. "Unlike me, who has spent nearly $150,000 permanently transforming myself into a human Ken doll, Valeria just plays dress up. But as soon as you wipe away all that makeup, she's just a plain Jane and there's absolutely nothing special about her."
Why can't these dolls just get along?

A life lived for opera
Having studied Law and Communication in his native city of Ghent, Gerard Mortier worked for the Festival of Flanders (1968-1972) as assistant to the then director, Jan Briers. His name soon became known in the international circuit when he was head of artistic planning for Christoph von Dohnanyi and Rolf Liebermann, in the opera houses of Düsseldorf (1972-1973), Hamburg (1973-1977), Frankfurt (1977-1979) and Paris (1979-1981). He held his first position as director here in Brussels.
From the moment of his appointment at La Monnaie in 1981, he did everything in his power to put it once again on the map. Through courageous programming, through cooperation with major theatre producers with the aim of giving opera a new value as theatre, by consciously opting for a well-thought out, logical dramaturgic line with an accent on the relevance of the major repertoire of our times, by opting for a rejuvenation of the genre by bringing in contemporary composers with a feeling for opera, by pressing home the upgrading of the artistic qualities of La Monnaie by revamping the orchestra and choir and by taking on famous conductors with dramatic perceptions, by paying special attention to the homogeneity of the vocalists with as a rule young singers, and not in the least by injecting such enthusiasm that made every performance an experience, he gave the genre opera a new dynamism that once and for all radically consigned doom-laden tidings such as "opera is dead" to the wastepaper basket. For ten years – until the end of 1991 – he was director at La Monnaie. During that time, from his base in Brussels he showed the world how a dynamic opera house with a vision could be both trendsetting and high-profile in Europe in spite of being limited in resources. Theatre directors once again transformed opera into theatre: internationally celebrated artists such as Patrice Chéreau, Peter Stein, Luc Bondy, Daniel Mesguich, Herbert Wernicke, Peter Mussbach or Ruth Berghaus worked along with home-grown talent such as Philippe Sireuil or Gilbert Deflo. Together with his musical directors Sir John Pritchard and Sylvain Cambreling, he always knew how to lend musical form to the dramaturgic concept. His unfailing instinct for theatre resulted nearly every time in unanimously applauded productions. Through him, young talent had more and more opportunities. Through the Brussels' audiences, numerous works from the repertoire opened the minds of many, or let them rediscover them, with undoubtedly the crowning glory being the celebrated Mozart cycle by Karl-Ernst and Ursel Herrmann, conducted by Sylvain Cambreling, and in which José van Dam, one of the most prominent and much-respected singers from the Mortier period, played a prominent role. While still working in Brussels, he was asked to set up a renewed structure for the Flemish Opera, a job for which he acquitted himself admirably.
Gerard Mortier's successes in La Monnaie led him to being invited in 1992 to take over the artistic directorship of the Salzburger Festspiele. Here too he brought about a wind of change and certainly didn't shun controversy. Not only did he attract a younger audience, through his choice of repertoire he prepared the festival to enter the 21st century. After Salzburg followed the RuhrTriennale where he became the first intendant (2002-2004). After that he took over as director of the prestigious Opéra de Paris (2004-2009), a logical continuation of his convictions from his Brussels period, where he became more and more active in the furthering of the plans for the new Opéra Bastille. Following an unsuccessful period with the New York City Opera, where due to financial restrictions his plans never got off the ground, he was appointed artistic director of the Madrid opera house, Teatro Real, where he was working until very recently.
Gerard Mortier was respected by both friend and foe for his sophistication, his unbridled energy and his visionary plans for culture. His vision on culture which knew no boundaries, yet always from a European and humanist perspective, remains a guiding light for all of us wishing to further build on his legacy.
To celebrate all he had achieved, in 1991 he was appointed Commandeur in de Kroonorde, and in the same year was awarded the Grosses Bundesverdienstkreuz in Germany. He became doctor honoris causa of the universities of Antwerp and Salzburg, Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres in France, was awarded in 2002 the silver Mozart medaille from the International Stiftung Mozarteum and became in 2005 Chevalier de l'ordre de la Légion d'honneur. For his complete works he was honoured with the Prijs van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap voor Algemene Culturele Verdienste 2004. In 2007 king Albert conferred the title of Baron on him. From this year a prize will be named after him, the Mortier Award, a new recognition for innovating talent in music theatre that will be presented, to himself, for the first time this year on 31 May by the renowned Ring Award Jury.

Simplifying Generic Dao with factory pattern and Spring
The Generic Dao pattern has been the standard for building CRUD web application in Java. One of the issue through is that you would have to know which Dao you need to use for which class. Combining the factory pattern with generic Dao allows you to look up the appropriate Dao for each persisted type.
With the Generic Dao interface:
public interface GenericDao<T extends DataObject, ID extends Serializable> { T save (T object); T load (ID id); void remove (ID id); Class<T> getPersistedType(); }
With each data type in your application, you extend the interface to add more specific function, and override the generic CRUD functionality:
public interface UserDao extends GenericDao<User, String> { User findUserByEmail (String email); }
Soon enough, you end up with lots of daos floating around. In order to preform operation on an object you want to persist, you must also know which dao to use. This is where the Factory pattern comes in handy:
public interface DaoFactory { <I extends GenericDao<T>, T extends DataObject> I getDao (Class<T> type, Class<I> implementation); <T extends BasicDocument> GenericDao<T> getDao (Class<T> type); Set<Class> getPersistentClasses (); }
Then finally with Spring, you can wire it up using factory-method:
<bean id="daoFactory" class="com.rainydayinn.DaoFactoryMongoImpl"> <constructor-arg index="0" name="template" ref="mongoTemplate" /> </bean> //Guest has special implementation in GuestDaoImpl <bean id="guestDao" factory-bean="daoFactory" factory-method="getDao"> <constructor-arg index="0" type="java.lang.Class" value="com.rainydayinn.Guest" /> <constructor-arg index="1" type="java.lang.Class" value="com.rainydayinn.GuestDaoImpl" /> </bean> //Room just needs generic handling <bean id="roomDao" factory-bean="daoFactory" factory-method="getDao"> <constructor-arg index="0" type="java.lang.Class" value="com.rainydayinn.Room" /> </bean>
With the above, you can save any child class of DataObject without having to worry about which Dao to choose. Note that since the dao factory methods are not static, do not include class property for the guestDao and roomDao beans.
If Room class requires a different implementation, simply use the other constructor and pass the implementation to DaoFactory.

I don't have much to add to the outpouring of support for the life and memory of Howard Zinn, but I do want to put his life's work in a bit of perspective.
A central plank of Zinn's message always was this: change does not come from a ballot box; change happens when you stand up and do something. And the old adage (which I think came before Zinn, but he used it well) about standing still on a moving train holds true. Not acting these days is as much an affirmation as acting. There is no standing still in these times. I doubt there ever was.
We live in a world where a distortion, when repeated enough, becomes held as true. We have to expend real energy to get to honest truth, and no one will do that for us. At a time in which we need people, real people, up and out and getting peoples' attention, we find pleasuring comfort in Internet slacktivism. And that simply won't do. To quote Zinn:
If those in charge of our society – politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television – can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves.
And I don't mean get offline, necessarily. The Internet is the best weapon the people have right now. But the gloves are off the corporations in the wake of Citizens United, and it simply is not enough these days to wear a bracelet, or protest via Facebook status, or add a ribbon to the back of a car.
So what would Zinn say about so-called slacktivism? I would guess it would go like this: write, but write to someone; post statuses, but post about ways for people to take real action; symbolic bracelets and ribbons are good, lawn signs and picket lines are better. Your friends and Twitter followers already know how you feel. To make change you need to reach more people, more strangers, and more adversaries. Only then will you change minds.
I saw Howard Zinn speak three times in my life, and each time was inspiring, uplifting, and most importantly, motivating. The world will sorely miss him, I'm sure. Rest in peace.

Pop teen star Justin Bieber has been released from a Miami jail after posting bond for his arrest early Thursday morning (Jan. 23) according to news reports.
The teen heartthrob was released from jail at approximately 1:00 pm. EST in Miami after posting bond money in the amount of $2,500.
Bieber was arrested around 1:15 a.m. in Miami, Fl. for suspected DUI and racing. After being pulled over, the police officer smelled alcohol. Bieber's blood alcohol level was measured at .04. Since the singer is under the age of 21, he can be legally charged for a DUI in the state of Florida.
Bieber also admitted to smoking marijuana and the Miami police report also states that he was under the influence of prescription drugs at the time. Bieber, 19, was also charged with non-violent resist of arrest.
Bieber was drag racing in a yellow Lamborghini along with pal Khalil Sharief, an R&B singer, who was in a red Ferrari. The location of the drag racing was in a residential area where the speed limit is 30 mph. The Miami police reports that both drivers were exceeding the speed limit and estimated they were going 55-60 mph. Sharief was also arrested.
It seems like the Bieb has more things to worry about than his California home being raided for drugs now. He could face time in jail, a fine and an automatic suspension of his driver's license since he is under 21, (which was expired) just for the DUI charges. First offense for drag racing could get him six months in jail, a fine up to $1,000 and a one year license suspension.
Let's hope Bieber shapes up before he falls so far down his career in music can't be saved.

Chapter One
The Transitory Mists that enclosed the Hapes Cluster shone suddenly with the brilliantly bright explosion of a nearby starfighter. Everything was falling apart. Jaina Solo had not been heard from since she had boarded the
Anakin Solo
, and the Jedi battle group was beginning to sustain loses, although there had been no casualties. I flipped my XJ5 on too its backside to avoid a beam of turbolaser fire from the Super Star Destroyer
. Suddenly, a blast of intense pain, followed by an incredible sadness permeated the Force coming from the
Anakin Solo
Either Jaina is dead, or Caedus has finally been defeated.
The thought came through the battle meld that I and my wingmate, Tesar Sabatyne were connected through.
My heart goes out to them. They have suffered too much already.
I replied to the Barabel, also sharing my empathy for the Solo family.
This one does not understand the human grieving process, but I can feel their pain. Its intensity is great.
I clicked the comm twice to acknowledge the thought and continued my dodge and weave tactics through the enemy fire.
"All wings, we have distressing news."
A flurry of comm clicks ensued, meaning that while everyone was listening, they were to busy avoiding fire to actually speak.
"A nanovirus has been released upon the
Dragon Queen
. It is unknown whether or not Queen Mother Tenel Ka and her daughter escaped."
A sob came from the comm, whom I identified as Leia Organa Solo.
"Those bastards are going to pay if they killed my granddaughter." Han Solo's voice was thick with emotion, and it sounded as though he was speaking through a lump in his throat.
Emotions we're running high through our battle meld, and Tesars thoughts came crashing through the battlemeld into my own mind.
Calm, Tesar. That way leads to the darkside.
They are eggbreakers, unworthy of life. They deserve to be hunted.
Tesar, calm yourself.
Through the comm, I could hear his shallow breathing as he used a Jedi breathing exercise to calm himself.
This one is calm.
Good, lets see what our next target is.
Suddenly, the turbolasers stopped flashing, and I completed my barrel roll to find a quiet battlefield, devoid of the louds booms and screeching sounds of combat.
"Command?" I asked as I used the force to activate the comm.
The voice of Master Horn came over the speaker.
"The battle is over. Darth Caedus is dead, and the Moffs have been captured. You may return to base for recovery."
Letting out a long slow sigh of relief, I spun my ship around and headed for home, Tesar gliding along silently next to me. I
f I get the chance, I'll help them in any way I can, on my word as a Jedi.
We shared a few moments more thought with each other about the battle, and then dropped the meld.
This has been a very interesting day...
~ ~ ~
The hangar bay was packed with Jedi of every age unloading and disembarking from the many passenger shuttles that served as a decoy for Darth Caedus to follow. A mechanic who I recognised as a wizened old man named Odrel came rushing up to my fighter with the fuel line. Reaching out with the Force, I popped the hatch and waved to him.
"Hello Odrel. Happy to see me back alive?"
"Ghel, you rascal. You're too much you know that. Even for a Jedi."
I chuckled in reply and slid off the side of the fighter and landed nimbly on my feet.
As I walked away, I felt a stur in the Force coming from the other jedi in the hangar. I turned around, and saw the battle-scarred hulk of the
Millennium Falcon
, escorted by two more XJ5's land in the center of the hangar.
Remembering my earlier resolution to help the family in any way possible, I decided to see if there was anything I could do for this Force-forsaken couple climbing down the ramp in front of me.
When I tried to approach and offer any assistance, Han Solo flashed me a dangerous look, and I decided that now would be bad time. He had one hand around the waist of his wife and the other hand resting on the handle of his blaster, as if ready to attack the first person who spoke to him. Next came a handsome man pushing the battle-scarred body of Jaina Solo to the bases medical facility for a bacta session, and it looked like she would be needing quite a few of them. Even through the sweat and blood, I could tell that she was an exceptionally beautiful female, and the gentle sobbing noise she was making seemed to make her seem more beautiful than normal in a sad kind of way. Her glassy eyes met my bright blue ones as she was pushed by on the hovergurney and she gave me a sad sort of smile. I returned it, and felt for her with the force, then sent her soothing messages of recovery and happiness. She let out a tired sigh and stopped sobbing, then drifted back into the divine realm of sleep.
I turned away, thinking that the parade was over, when a very noticeable ripple permeated the crowd. I turned sharply, and saw the thin figure of Master Skywalker holding the unmoving form of Jacen Solo in his arms. Tears of sadness were running down the older mans face, and following the path of his family into the warren of tunnels.
Master Sabatyne and her son approached me from behind, and I turned to greet them.
"Master Sabatyne. It was an honor flying with your son today, he is a most able pilot."
She sissed out the Barabel form of a laugh.
"This one thinks you have a good sense of honor and dignity. You did well in working with my son today. He says you yourself are an excellent pilot."
"It is one my favorite hobbies. Most of my free time is spent on a simulator."
She nodded and thanked me once more before turning to depart. Suddenly, the weariness the battle had inflicted on me set in, and I decided it was a good time to retire to my quarters, where I could meditate on the days events in peace.

Yesterday's 65-year prison sentence for a repeat felon who opened fire on police outside a Seattle nightclub in November 2012 follows the logic of legislation championed by gun rights advocates 20 years ago that pushed "Hard Time for Armed Crime" into law by public initiative.
The sentence seems to have the approval of Seattle Times readers, and should serve as a reminder that hard time for armed crime was an idea that originated with the gun rights community. Indeed, "Hard Time for Armed Crime" was born in Bellevue in 1994, championed by KVI's John Carlson, supported by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and the National Rifle Association. The idea popularly swept the country along with the "Three Strikes" law that also originated here in Washington in 1993.
Those laws were passed overwhelmingly in the early 1990s by public initiative. Unlike a current measure that will only impact law-abiding citizens, Hard Time and Three Strikes have worked to keep criminals off the streets without penalizing honest gun owners.
Two years ago, CCRKBA endorsed a proposal by King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg to crack down on armed juvenile offenders. That was also because the proposal had no impact on legally armed citizens.
Friday's sentence in King County Superior Court was handed down by Judge William Downing against 24-year-old Larry Dawson Daley, Jr. The Seattle Times described him as "a felon with a lengthy criminal history." The fact that he had a gun should serve as a reminder that outlaws get their hands on firearms despite the law, not some alleged weakness in it.
Daley is a living example of why gun control laws simply don't work. After he was shot by Seattle Police at the November incident, KOMO News reported that he was a nine-time felon and that his record included three convictions for "unlawful firearm possession." Odds are unlikely that any of those gun acquisitions involved a background check.
And what was the reported reaction from Daley's friends after he pleaded with the court for leniency, arguing, "I'm a young man with a lot of life to live. Don't take me away from my mom and my family for so long?" A family friend contended that, "Nobody was harmed. No lives were lost."
But Times readers, like people everywhere fed up with armed thuggery in their communities, are having none of it. So far, nobody has wondered how a person only 24 years old could have "a lengthy criminal history." It suggests a needed fix in the criminal justice system, not a new restrictive gun law.
At the time Daley was arrested, there was a no-bail warrant for "violating his community supervision on a prior first-degree theft charge," the Seattle Times reported in 2012. People like that don't submit to background checks during a gun transaction. They don't respond to much of anything but hard time.

EVENT: 68th Annual Western Intercollegiate
LOCATION: Santa Cruz, Calif.
DATES: Saturday, April 12 – Sunday, April 13
COURSE: Pasatiempo Golf Course
PAR/YARDS: Par-70 / 7,165 yards
TEE TIME: 8:15 a.m. (PT)
FORMAT: Shotgun start
LIVE SCORING: www.golfstat.com
FIELD (14): San Jose State (Host), Arizona State, California, Hawaii, Memphis, Oregon, San Diego State, SMU Stanford, Texas, UC Irvine, USC, UTEP, Washington.
EUGENE – The Oregon men's golf team will compete in the 68th Annual Western Intercollegiate as a primer before heading off to the Pac-12 Championships two weeks later. The 14-team tournament consists of five top-20 teams and five top-50 teams, including No. 43 Oregon according to the rankings done by Golfstat.
The 54-hole tournament is slated to be played at the nationally recognized Pasatiempo Golf Course in Santa Cruz, Calif., and is hosted by San Jose State. The Ducks are set to tee off on the par-70, 6,615 yards course at 8:15 a.m. (PT) with shotgun starts on both days, with teams playing 36-holes on Saturday, April 12, and 18-holes on Sunday, April 13.
This weekend's scoring format will be slightly different from the rest of this year with six players competing on each team and only scores from 5-of-6 players counting towards the team score.
The Ducks have enjoyed success at the Western Intercollegiate in recent years, winning four team titles (2001, 2005, 2009-10) and one individual title (2010) since 2000. Head coach Casey Martin has led Oregon to two team titles, a third-place finish and an individual medalist. The Ducks' are the last team to win back-to-back years (2009-10) at the Western Intercollegiate since Fresno State accomplished the same feat in 1989-90.
In total UO has claimed five individual titles (fourth most) to match its five team titles (sixth most). Oregon has swept the team and individual title twice. The first sweep came in 1993 when Cam Martin fired in a 73-75-67—215 and the second time came in 2010 when Eugene Wong carded a 65-70-67—202.
The Ducks came in eighth place last year, firing a team score of 373-364-368—1,105 (+55), with Jonathan Woo finishing in a tie for 23rd to lead UO.
UCLA's Pedro Figueiredo won the individual title last year with a 204 6-under card while Cal won the team title with a 350-361-340—1,051 (+1) card.
With the 2014 Duck Invitational held at Emerald Valley Golf Course, UO was primed to win its own tournament on a very difficult course. However, a few missed birdies turned into bogeys and that was all she wrote for the Ducks. Oregon ended up in third-place at the tournament, behind Minnesota and winner Oregon State.
Brandon Baumgarten, a freshman from Granite Bay, Calif., was the Ducks' best finisher coming in a tie for third. Baumgarten shot himself into the lineup for UO's next tournament three days later at The Goodwin with a card of 73-72-71—216 (E).
Some of the best golf teams in the nation gathered at the Stanford Golf Course to battle it out on the green as the Cardinal renamed its tournament from the U.S. Intercollegiate to The Goodwin in honor of their former head coach Wally Goodwin. Goodwin who coached the likes of Tiger Woods and Oregon head coach Casey Martin guided the Cardinal to a 1994 national championship.
The Ducks placed in a tie for fifth with UAB at 3-over par. Sulman Raza paced Oregon with a 208 2-under card while Brandon McIver was tied for 10th with a 209 1-under. Thomas Lim was the only other Duck to finish in the top-25 with a 212 2-over card and a tie for 24th.
Thomas Lim wrapped up his first term at Oregon with a high note, tying for a third-place finish at the Patriot All-America tournament. The freshman carded a 70-67-69—206 at the four-day event held in Arizona on the par-71 Wigwam Golf Resort. In cooperation with the Folds of Honor Foundation, Lim and the other NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA and AJGA All-Americans that participated in the tournament represented a fallen soldier. Lim represented Lt. Col. James L. Wiley of the U.S. Army, a North Bend, Ore., native who was a member of the 27th Bridge Combat Team from the New York Army National Guard.
Head coach Casey Martin signed Aaron Wise during the early signing period in the fall of 2013. Wise, a native of Lake Elsinore, Calif., is currently ranked 21st in his class nationally and fifth in California by Junior Golf Scorecard. The senior from Santiago High School took top honors this past summer at the USGA Junior Boys Qualifier in Oceanside, Calif., shooting a 65-64—129 and won by 13 strokes over a field of 77 golfers.

BOULDER - Colorado coach Dan Hawkins held his weekly press luncheon at the Dal Ward Athletic Center on Tuesday to preview the Texas game. Hawkins and the Buffs travel to Austin, Texas, to face No. 2 Texas Saturday in a 5 p.m. (MT) kickoff. The game will be nationally televised by ESPN.
On A List Of Problems Texas Can Produce
"That's a long list, they're talented, they're well coached. They play hard; they've got great personnel. That's why they're one of the best teams in the country. Then they've got some guys who have been there a while and have been doing it. That's a tough combination, there's no doubt about it."
On Colt McCoy's Running Ability
"He can buy a lot of time. The play he made the first play of the game last year was phenomenal. Everybody thought he was going to run with it and he turned and fired it to the sideline and they scored a touchdown. It was a great play. And then the play to (Jordan) Shipley was a great play, as well. He's what you want. He's a tough guy, he's a smart guy, he can run and he can sling it and he knows what he's doing. His progression since his sophomore year has been on an upward slope. A lot of that is his confidence and his continuity with the system and he's got some good guy's he has been playing with a little bit that have helped him, as well. He's doing a nice job."
On Giving Up Big Plays On Defense
"You just have got to keep working. Keep hammering away and keep going and getting guys in the right spots and getting guys to have a little intuition and a little bit of perception of what's going on. It's gotten better a little bit progressively. The sad thing is, you play Noel Devine, the first touchdown he ran there was about an eight-inch gap there and he made it through."
On Getting More Big Plays On Offense
"We had some better plays last week. Rodney (Stewart) did a nice job on his touchdown run. That continuity and guys hitting it the right way offensively, as well, helps. We have to get all those guys on the same page and get a little confidence and continuity in there."
On Markques Simas
"He's very talented. When he was red-shirting, you could tell that he had some ability and did a nice job against the defense. He's a guy that we need to get going and unfortunately when he was out the first couple of games, then he hurt his knee. It's been a long road for him, but he's a very talented player."
On The Start Of Conference Play
"We talk about the Big 12 and what that means and getting that whole thing going. You look at the season as a whole and then there's always little chunks and off shoots down the road. Winning the Big 12 is one of the premium's on the list and it starts now."
On The Texas Defense
"They've got the full package. They a great job scheme-wise, they're very hard to line up against and get a beat on and they're very talented and athletic and they've got all of the above. That's why they're one of the best teams in the country and deservedly so because they've got good players and they've got experience and they've got a good scheme. They do the full package. They're hard to move it on.
"You have to keep them off balance a little bit and try not to let them zero in on you as much as possible and that's all you can do. You have to make some plays and not turn the ball over and cut down on your penalties and maximize your opportunities when you get them. You have to hope that plays out in your favor."
On His Confidence In Aric Goodman
"It's good. He hit the upright again and missed another one. I think the guy's a good kicker, I do, and I know he's had some hick-ups but he'll be alright."
On The Confidence Level Of A Young Team
"It can go both ways. I think they all have a feeling that things are coming together and it's a little closer than most think and they have a sense of that and have a feeling of that. I think it can go against you either way. There's a good feeling on our team. Is that because we're so young or don't have old guys? I couldn't answer that."
On Being An Underdog And Using It As Motivation
"I've never been a big believer long term in extrinsic motivation. Every sports psychologist will tell you that's not the road to go down. Ultimately, at the end of the day, it's about your own self-efficacy and being able to get your 'A game' on regardless of who you play and where you play or what the situation is - whether you're favored or not favored, you better have a healthy respect for the other team and yourself and be able to understand the variables that go into it. That's what all great coaches and all great players and great teams aspire to do."
On Scotty McKnight
"If you are out there and you watch him and you know the kid, (his production) doesn't surprise you. He's extremely dedicated. He's extremely tough. He's a very smart player. He's probably underrated by most guys because he doesn't come in the tall, lean, 4.29 guy that people would see out there. He's a great rout-runner, he's very quick in and out of his breaks, he has great hand-eye coordination and he's very consistent in all of the above. It doesn't surprise me at all, because if you've been around the kid you just kind of know that's who he is."
On Cody Hawkins Accuracy
"We're on to a few things and are trying to clean a few things up here or there and that involves a lot of different scope and sequence. There's no question a lot of it comes from forcing balls and trying to make a play when a play isn't there. We're on to a few things that will help him a little bit. (Getting ahead early) is a key for every game. It's hard to stay in rhythm. (Playing from behind and trying to make a play) is part of it."
On Playing Another Quarterback
"A lot of it, depending on how the season goes and what happens and how things shape up, Tyler (Hansen) wasn't available last week and another factor is bringing those other young guys along to a point where you say 'alright, this guy can get in and call a play and get the snap and functionally operate.' So it's a combination of those things."
On Redshirting Tyler Hansen
"(Pulling a redshirt) is always a touch call to make. It always is. I could be the same with Nick (Kasa), it's like 'how long do you go before you bring Nick in?' There's other guys that we look at and go 'could this guy help us?' and 'how ready would he be' and what would be the quote-unquote fairness factor of getting a guy in at this point. It's never easy. I know, talking to Joel (Klatt), he played just a few plays his freshman year and, you know, that was his freshman year. Talking to Brian Daniels, he played just a couple of plays his freshman year. You're trying to do the best job you as coach while maximizing every guy's experience and opportunity to play and play a lot of plays. Sometimes it just doesn't work out that way, it's just not in the cards."
On Nick Kasa
"He didn't play a lot of plays last week, but he's doing really well in practice. He's a big, strong, physical guy and he's athletic and he can run and he's smart. He's all of the above. As he continues to get confidence on his knee and get confidence with the system, he'll progressively get better and his numbers will continue to go up."
On B.J. Beatty
"He came into his own last year. Unfortunately, he broke his leg and that set him back a long time. Last year, he had a great spring and got into fall and had a spiral fracture in his leg and that limited him. To me, he was in his own last year and unfortunately had the injury bug. He plays with a lot of passion and a lot of toughness. He's a smart guy and he cares a lot and pays attention to the little things. That's why he makes plays."
On Keenan Stevens
"It's interesting, I told somebody this the other day, we took 72 guys to West Virginia and I think 44 of those guys were in their first or second year with us and there were eight true freshmen. You really look at the healthy contributions of guys. Every goal of every program and every player is to really kind of starting your junior year to really start seeing some playing time. I look at Keenan and he's a guy who has labored and worked hard and played a subservient role but continues to learn and continues to be tough and works and he's doing a great job that way. Work and effort and passion over time always pays results. Sometimes, guys don't always see that, they want in the first year or six months or two years or whatever. The reality is we have got some guys playing in the national football league that really weren't significant guys until they were juniors or seniors. You never really would've predicted it when they were younger guys, so he's just one of those guys who works hard and he's tough and he cares and he's got a big heart and he pays attention to details. He played pretty well, he really did. For having a guy right in his face the whole game, too."
On Patience In A Walk-On Vs. A Scholarship Player
"It depends. You have it both ways. It's just how you are wired. Some people can hang in there for the long haul and make sense of it and others can't. That's a whole semester's worth of psychology classes. (Keenan Stevens) one of those guys who has been patient and he continues to chip away and continues to work hard. I tell these guys, 'in the end you get your just due' I totally believe that. Now, the problem is the end for some is longer than others and they can't see it through. He's been very patient and continued to work hard and whatever he can do to help the team and he's getting his day in the sun."
On Bryce Givens
"He did OK. There are plays where he's really, really awesome. And there's other plays where he's the freshman that he is. He's a big, strong, talented guy and he plays with a lot of heart and a lot of determination. He's got good feet. He has a chance to be a great player. But you know you've got a guy who's a freshman. It's interesting, we were talking the other day, in both our o- and d-line and we don't have a senior playing in the two-deep on our o- and d-line. Here's Bryce, he's a freshman."
On Anthony Wright
"Unfortunately, he sprained his ankle last week and that set him back a little bit, but he's running OK right now. You've got (Andre Simmons) in there who continues to come along and the learning curve is hard for a new guy. Brian Lockridge has done some really nice things out there as well. Combination of those guys (are on that next level), Will (Jefferson) is in the mix, too."
On Jason Espinoza
"I don't think (he'll be limited). He caught balls with (a broken thumb) before. I expect him to do the same thing again."

SCR: You two seem to have a lot in common. You hit it off real well, and you both have basically the same personality, the same lack of arrogance, and both seem to be very personable. Do you have a lot in common besides the obvious-that you both race for a living?
Truex: Sure, yeah, everything. We like to do all the same stuff, it seems. He doesn't like to fish too much, but I love to fish. That's about the only thing we don't [have in common]. But we just got us a bass boat, so I'm going to take it. It's half his and half mine, but he'll never use it, so it'll be all mine.
SCR: So, you come from an area where you did a lot of fishing, and your family is involved in the clamming business?
Truex: Yeah, we lived right on the shore and I did a lot of fishing growing up, in the bay and stuff.
SCR: The Bass Pro Shop sponsorship really fits your lifestyle?
Truex: Yeah, it's cool. It's a pretty cool sponsor for me.
SCR: I know your dad was a racer, but what kind of influence did he have on you?
Truex: Yeah, he's the only reason I started racing, really. He and my Uncle Barney were racing from the time I can remember, I guess from the time I was born. And I just grew up around it and always loved going to the racetrack and watching, and I always knew it was something I wanted to do. And when I turned old enough-when I was ten-I started begging for a go-kart, and when I was eleven, I finally got one. He was always racing, so I had my mom take me to the track most of the time, or my aunt would take me because my cousin raced with me. He was a year younger than me, and we would all ride to the airport-I mean the racetrack-and I would pretty much do everything myself. My dad taught me a lot about racing and sportsmanship and how races go and how you need to concentrate on making your cars the best you can and that sort of stuff.
SCR: Talk a little about the family clamming business. How much did you work in that growing up?
Truex: When I was still in high school, I would go out on weekends, like most kids go out on weekends, and have a good time and everything. But I would have to wake up at 2 o'clock or 1 o'clock on Sunday morning...well, Saturday night. I would go out Sunday and work all day and come home and go to school on Monday. For probably a year or the last year and a half or so while I was in school, I did that just to make some money. I would make a couple hundred dollars just on weekends. Of course, I was building a truck to put on the road when I got my license, and all that went into it. When I got out of school, I worked a year and a half, I think it was, full time on the boat.
SCR: When did you know that racing was what you wanted to do?
Truex: Before I ever worked on one of them boats, I'll tell you that. It's what I always wanted and kind of what I always worked for. I think I got my Modified when I was about 17 and a half, and started getting it ready, rebuilt it all, and got ready to go racing in a real car.
SCR: Talk about your first Busch win at Bristol earlier this year.
Truex: That was pretty exciting. I kind of knew-well, I can't say I knew, because you never know if you're ever going to win a race-but I felt like we had had a few opportunities to win, like at Homestead last year, and Rockingham this year, and I kind of let them slip away at the end by mistakes I made. Anytime I've ever made a mistake in racing, I've always been one who thinks about it and worries about it so much that it seems to never happen again. I kind of learn from it. That's what I always try to do. I try to learn from every mistake I make. I think that was part of the reason I won Bristol.

Semelia Campbell was crushed between a wall and an electronic gate which was stuck in the closed position, police said.
14:53, UK, Wednesday 20 February 2013
A man has been charged over the death of a six-year-old girl who was crushed by an electronic gate.
Kriston Kearns, 40, is accused of unlawfully killing Semelia Campbell by gross negligence manslaughter in June 2010.
After being called to reports of a child trapped in an electronic gate in Maine Road, Manchester, officers found Semelia.
Police said she had been crushed between a retaining wall and the gate which was stuck in the closed position.
The youngster was freed by the emergency services and taken to hospital, but she never regained consciousness and later died.
Last July, a memorial to Semelia was unveiled at the scene of her death.
The memorial read: "Daughter and sister sadly missed by family and friends.
"Time we shared seems so short, Memories so few, We miss you dearly, We'll always love you. Gone but never forgotten."
Kearns, of Hazel Grove, will appear before Manchester Magistrates' Court on March 12.

A job interview is a stressful situation. You may find yourself doing the strangest things such as biting your lower lip, blinking a lot, fiddling with your hands, or sweating. These are normal reactions to stress. However, there are techniques to control your anxiety and make you appear confident. Making eye contact and smiling and dressing to impress are common suggestions. Let's take a look at other strategies suggested in Body Language for Business by Max A. Eggert.
Build Rapport
- initiate the handshake
- mirror the other person's body language
- put your shoulders in parallel
- nod to show understanding and interest
Building rapport is the key to getting your dream job. You are performing for an audience, so sell yourself! Confidence is key and is all a part of how you answer the questions being put to you. If you're unsure of how to answer a question, ask the interviewer to rephrase it. When responding to questions, be sure to not only answer the question but draw on your experience. Short narratives and anecdotes are great ways to show that you reflect and learn from both your mistakes and your accolades.
The interview is almost over, and the last question put to you is "Do you have any questions?" The interviewer is testing to see if you've done some research on the company, and the question offers a chance to research the company in person. So come prepared with questions written on a small notepad. (Don't rely on your phone in case there are technical difficulties.) Here are some sample tactics to respond to the "Question" question.
- Clarify the interviewer's uncertainties and doubts: What would the perfect candidate look like? Are there any gaps in my experience that I can clarify?
- Uncover the company's red flags: What difficulties do you predict for your organization in the next 6 months to a year?
- Get a view of the future: What types of people are successful in your company?
- Build a relationship: How did you get your start in the industry? Why do you stay?
After the interview
- Get a business card so you have the correct name and email address of the interviewer
- Ask to connect on LinkedIn and do so
- Promote your candidacy and qualifications by sending a thank you email within 24 hours of the interview
- Check in periodically via email first and then by phone. Keep your conversations short and professional. Don't be demanding, annoying, or antagonistic.

I found The Godfather game to be a fantastic game to play. With an in depth plot, good graphics, great gameplay and longetivity it's definitely a game worth purchasing.
Beginning as a lowly member of the mob you are quickly immersed into the world of the gangster and the associated privileges. You must begin by completing simple jobs to earn some money and reputation, once you get the hang of the controls, gameplay and various maps you can quickly begin building your mobster, with an extensive list of skill and attribute enhancements that may be chosen, customising your character to your liking is easy.

32 Pages Softcover. Features over fifty color photographs of the devastating five-alarm fire that engulfed the Worcester State Hospital mental hospital on July 22, 1991. Photo only book, documents the fire from that day in 1991.
Worcester State Hospital was a state run mental hospital / asylum for the mentally ill, built upon the hills of Worcester, Massachusetts. Around 1873, the Worcester State Hospital building construction was completed and was of the notable Kirkbride Building design. The hospital housed and treated thousands of patients during its time.
On July 22, 1991 a fast moving fire swept through the historic Worcester State Hospital building and changed its face forever. Over one hundred Worcester firefighters battled the five-alarm blaze and were assisted by mutual aid companies from the Grafton, Millbury, Shrewsbury, Sterling, Holden, Northborough, Auburn, Leicester and West Boylston fire departments.
Just around 2:30 p.m. the Worcester Fire Alarm struck a box for a working fire at the Worcester State Hospital located on Belmont Street. Within ten minutes of the initial dispatch, the Worcester Fire Chief called for the fourth alarm. A lack of water supply on that day might have hindered the firefighting efforts in battling this quick moving massive fire. One of the largest fires in the history of the City of Worcester.

So Far, So GoodI just received my Folica order last week so I am just getting started using it. I decided to try it because my hair is getting kind of thin, especially in the front. My Mother had very thin hair so I decided to try Folica and see if it will help thicken it at all. So far I love the way it leaves my hair feeling. It is very soft and looks so healthy. I don't know yet if it will do anything for the thinning but will leave another review later and let you all know if it is helping.

Wow!I have only had the Murad shampoo and conditioner only a week. But WOW the difference it has made. My hair is not to thin or to thick but it lacked moisture and shine. After my first wash and no other products my hair felt great. I used my straightener only had to make a few passes and looked awesome. I bought it mainly for hair growth so I have to wait to see how that goes. But overall I love the difference it has made. By far the best shampoo and conditioner!!!

"It Takes a Long Time to Become Real"
... or so a wise toy horse once told a certain plush bunny. And, see how pampered I am, surrounded by dolls of my own (note that I have protected them and their complexions from the heartbreak that I myself have known). The Big Doll in my lap is my birthday gift from the Andrewsarchus. Perhaps I'll keep him, after all!
