Ornette Coleman: Faces and Places
Faces and Places
Ornette Coleman (alto sax)
The Ornette Coleman Trio at the "Golden Circle" Stockholm, Volume One (Blue Note CDP-84224)
Ornette Coleman (alto sax), David Izenson (bass), Charles Moffett (drums).
Composed by Ornette Coleman.
Recorded: live in Stockholm, Sweden, December 4, 1965
Rating: 99/100 (learn more)
Compositionally, "Faces and Places" is of a type with such earlier start-and-stop, bebop-ish Ornette Coleman tunes as "Folk Tale" from This is Our Music or "Forerunner" from Change of the Century. In execution, however, there are differences, one being the absence here of Don Cherry. Whereas the older recordings had the trumpeter on hand to spice up the ensembles and provide another solo voice, now Ornette's alto is the lone horn. As a consequence, Coleman seems to play longer than on his quartet recordings, which is not a bad thing. He ratchets up the intensity to a higher level, due in part, one suspects, to the extended solo time and the fact that it was recorded live. Another reason is the presence of drummer Charles Moffett, a grittier player than Ed Blackwell, his immediate predecessor in the band. Moffett's ride cymbal is heavier, his accompaniment patterns and fills generally more raucous and active. In contrast, bassist David Izenson plays so soft (or is so under-recorded), he's nearly inaudible at times, though one can feel his presence as lighter, more surface-oriented than previous Coleman bassists such as Charlie Haden or Jimmy Garrison. That said, Izenson's style certainly doesn't dampen the energy. If anything, his technical facility increases the sense of drive. This performance has a more visceral kick than much of Ornette's prior work, and is a fitting introduction to a new stage of his career.

From left, Tony Gallicchio, Tristan Greene, Sean McLay and Paul McArdle of Funknut will perform at the FLCC Honors House on Feb. 24
Get into the groove with Funknut, a band that includes three FLCC alumni, Thursday, Feb. 24, at Finger Lakes Community College's Honors House.
The concert, which is free and open to the public, starts at 7 p.m. at the Honors House, 4340 Lakeshore Drive at the corner with Routes 5 and 20. Parking is available.
Funknut describes itself as "a little bit of funk with a whole lotta soul." Sean McLay of Almond and Tony Gallicchio '04 of Hornell, Tristan Greene '04 of Livonia and Paul McArdle '04 of Canandaigua formed the band in 2008.
With a goal to "connect with people through melodic funk and improvisation," Funknut plays at festivals, colleges, and clubs all over the Northeast. The group has opened concerts for The Temptations, The Four Tops, Soulive and Particle, just to name a few.
City Newspaper in Rochester describes the group as "skillful and masterful" while Brian Campbell from Rochesterathome.com says, "Every song swoons, grooves, and jives." Funknut's debut CD, "Hit It," received a positive nod from Jambands.com.
The band is heading back to the studio this year to record its second album. To get a taste of Funknut's sound, visit www.tinyace.com.
New photography by FLCC student Dan Rounds will be on display in the Honors House Gallery.

Emergency Medical Technician/Paramedic Program
What does an Emergency Medical Technician/Paramedic do?
The EMT-Paramedic Program prepares students to become a highly skilled health care provider. An Emergency Medical Technician Paramedic, through performance of patient assessments and provision of emergency medical care, strives to meet the goals of preventing and reducing mortality and morbidity due to illness and injury. Paramedics primarily provide care to emergency patients in and out of hospital settings. The Paramedic certificate program prepares the graduate for a career as a certified Emergency Medical Technician/Paramedic. Graduates of the Emergency Medical Technician/Paramedic Program can find a career in several areas such as ambulance services, air ambulances, fire service, military medics, tactical Emergency Medical Technician, Park Ranger/Search and Rescue, and Overseas Paramedic.
Learning by Doing
New River CTC's Paramedic programs are offered at the Raleigh County Campus in Beaver, WV, the Lee Street Complex in Lewisburg, WV, and the Workforce Building located near the Nicholas County Campus, in Summersville, WV. The programs are structured to incorporate a large amount of hands-on learning opportunities. Students participate in a variety of laboratory skills to learn and refine patient assessment and treatment skills as well as community outreach activities. Students have the opportunity to sit for National Registry of EMT's (NREMT's) paramedic certification skill examination at New River CTC, and the written examination at any participating Pearson Vue testing center.
The facilities include mobile laboratory skill stations, and Fixed-Position High Fidelity Simulation Stations at the Raleigh County and Nicholas County campus locations.

Considering how ubiquitous the squirrel is, it's pretty amazing that we haven't seen more of this: squirrel obstacle courses. Some enterprising — and not easily entertained — individuals have actually taken the time to create a bit of a puzzle for their backyard squirrels, and the squirrels have really taken to it. It's a very interesting exercise in intelligence of the animals, as you can watch it learn from its mistakes and even try to come up with their own short cuts. We're not sure which is more admirable, the lengths the squirrels go to get the nut, or the lengths humans go to get the laugh!

Huntington Park (map it)
330 Huntington Park Lane
Columbus, OH 43215
Year Opened: 2009
Capacity: 10,100
There are no tickets available at this time.
One of the most stalwart franchises of the minor leagues, the Columbus Clippers moved into their new 12,000 seat digs at Huntington Park in 2009. It was quickly judged to be one of the best parks in their AAA International League, and even beat out some major league parks for design award honors that year.
And it surely deserved every one. While a little on the pricey side in some aspects, Huntington Park is simply a jewel of a park no matter what the league, providing an amazing breadth of options and experiences to its visitors--and a great place to watch a game.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
Huntington Park offers one of the widest selections of food options of any park in the minors. Two main concession stands flanking the home plate area serve your standard ballpark fare. From there, there are only more options. Near the outfield entrance is a Bob Evans with family friendly grub, and Donato's Dugout with Italian pizzas, subs, and salads.
In the AEP Power Pavilion in left-center, the Hall of Fame Bar and restaurant is on the second floor, serving up pub dishes, while chicken-joint Roosters on the Roof takes over the top floor, along with their own bleacher section to watch the game while you eat your wings. But the best of it all is out in right field. Sandwiches on Deck has premium stuffed sandwiches, but your best bet is City Barbeque, located across the picnic stage area from the sandwich shop.
Sandwiches of barbecued pulled pork, beef, or chicken are chopped up in front of you and served in slider-like sandwiches, along with a choice of sides. Cornbread is always a winner. They are a little on the pricey side, but well worth the cost, and often offset with discount specials.
Beer is on tap at nearly every concession stand, in small and large, domestic and "premium." Beer connoisseurs will appreciate the micro-brew stand from the Columbus Brewing Company, offering up more hand-crafted suds.
The designers of Huntington Park clearly put a lot of thought into it, from the center field fence running along the abutting sidewalk, to the double-decked "Hamburger Balcony" out in right, to the complete refurbishment of the building in left into the Power Pavilion that houses restaurants and stores, with its own bleachers on the roof. The thought involved in the details are the one thing that really strikes you after being in the park for a while, and it really improves the experience. Downtown Columbus pokes up behind all of this to provide the backdrop for your game.
That consideration extends to the promenade. There is an exterior walkway around the park, and the seating promenade puts nearly all of the concession stands with easy viewing vistas of the field, so you don't need to miss any of the game while getting your food.
Entrances are located in left-center field, right field, left field, and by home plate. Your best bet for avoiding lines is the home plate entrance, furthest from Nationwide Boulevard, which opens earliest before game times. The home team is in the first base dugout, so autograph seekers would do best to congregate there before and after games.
The only shade or cover in the infield is on the promenade or in the luxury boxes and VIP bar, so take that into account. The picnic area by City Barbeque and the Wendy's Hamburger Balcony out in right give you a place to hide from the heat or rain in the outfield.
Lou Seal and Krash the Parrot are usually the on-field ringleaders for your average minor-league fun and games, but there are regular appearances from special guests such as the ZOOperstars (animal mash-ups of sports notables--such as Harry Cannary--in giant inflatable suits) and Breakin BBoy McCoy, who generally take over the between-inning entertainment.
Once home to a now-departed state prison, the revitalized "Arena District" is a far friendlier home to Huntington Park, and it offers up a variety of entertainment options in addition to the Clippers. Literally next door is the Lifestyles Communities Pavilion (still referred to by its old name of "PromoWest" by locals) which houses outdoor concerts. Down the street, the titular Nationwide Arena provides another sports (NHL) and concert venue. Movies in style are reeled out at the Arena Grand Theater a short distance away. The greater Columbus area delivers more choices for culture vultures (Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus Symphony Orchestra) or those looking for family friendly entertainment (COSI Science Museum, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium).
Those needing post game liquid refreshment can go across the street to the A&R Music Bar, The Three Legged Mare in the Arena District (for the full pub experience), completely cheese out at the Big Bang Dueling Piano Bar, or go to any of the dozens of bars in the area. Most are bar and grills, but for food-first shops, there's Boston's Gourmet Pizza right across the street, three steak places within two blocks (Ted's Montana Grill, Rodizzio Grill, and bd's Mongolian Barbeque), or take a short walk for more ethnic-specific fare such as Bucca di Beppo.
Located right down the street from the Columbus Convention Center and Nationwide Insurance's national headquarters, it is perhaps no surprise there are a wealth of hotel choices near the ballpark. The Courtyard Columbus Downtown, the Renaissance Columbus Downtown, the Doubletree Suites Downtown, the Hilton Columbus Downtown, and the Hampton Inn Columbus Downtown are just some of the chain hotels available, while the 55 Lofts provides a more boutique choice for traveling fans.
Even on a holiday weekend, Huntington Park was packed (even the higher-priced VIP sections) with a loud crowd into the action. There are a lot of people walking around during the game and between innings, but a majority seem to be watching the game. This high up in the minors, there are slightly more baseball cranks than average in a minor league park, but the crowd is still dominated by families who are there more for the food and entertainment than the game.
Interstates 70 and 71 (along with their subsidiary roads) pass right through downtown Columbus, making it an easy drive from surrounding areas. It's just under two hours to Cincinnati and about two and a half to Cleveland, and Port Columbus International Airport is just east of downtown. No less than 13 parking lots dot the Arena District, and parking ranges from $3-$5 depending on proximity to the park and other events at venues in the area. COTA Blue Line buses 3, 13, and 18 also stop at the park ($2/$2.75), and it is well within walking distance of most of downtown.
The main promenade runs almost around the stadium, interrupted by the stadium running into the sidewalk out in right-center. This doen't seem to impede the traffic flow too much, as the concourse gets wider further out into the outfield, though if you have seats in left and want to visit City Barbeque, you have quite a walk on your hands. The seats and bar in the VIP section, however, are closed to mortal visitors, and are only accessible to those with tickets for the area.
Given the excellence of the facility and the relative low cost to see a game of almost-major leaguers, Huntington Park does dip into some MLB level excesses. The VIP Club and Loge seats behind home plate are completely separated from the general seating areas, making you pay to access every area of the park. Perhaps this is not unexpected for as storied and popular franchise as this, but it is still a little disappointing to see in minor league ball.
That said, the Loge and Club seats in the VIP area are only $20 each. Infield box seats are $12 ($15 game-day), outfield reserved seats are $10 ($7 for youth or senior), and general admission seats are only $6 ($7 game day), or $3/$4 (game day) for youth or seniors, making an affordable option for families looking for a night out.
Unlike most parks, those general admission tickets have a great selection of seating options, including the picnic berm in left, or the bleachers a little further on, the Hall of Fame restaurant, the bleachers on top of Roosters on the Roof, or the City Barbecue picnic deck and the Hamburger Balcony in right. Real penny-pinchers can stand outside of right field and watch the game through the grated walls in the outfield wall.
While the general concession stands generally keep food prices under $7, there are many food options that range much higher, especially at the specialty stands. The prices aren't particularly outrageous, but they would also be more at home in a major league park. The average price for a large beer is about $8, which isn't too bad, either.
Food cost is offset by the frequent discounts on certain days of the week, such as 50 cent wing nights, buck-a-bone rib nights, dime-a-dog nights, and $2 pulled pork specials. But be ready for some big-time lines in keeping with the big-time savings at the concessions with the specials -- get in early to avoid long waits.
Instead of the usual minor league free giveaway, the program is $2, but well worth the price, printed on good magazine paper with a quality scorecard in the center. The main merchandise stand is in the Power Pavilion out in left, and gives fans a wide variety of merchandise options to support their team. Smaller stores dot the walkways in the park at regular intervals.
Huntington Park does an excellent job of capitalizing on the history of the franchise. A statue to Harold Cooper (former Clippers GM, International League president, and previous stadium namesake) greets fans at the outfield entrance to the park in an ivy-trimmed monument that also includes tributes to the previous incarnations of the team. You can't walk ten feet inside without a celebration of recent team achievements. Further back team history is reflected in the former players who grace the signs for each seating section, as well as a hidden gem in the stairwell to Roosters on the Roof. Team portraits going back to the nineties line the walls up, letting fans see some current major league favorites earlier in their careers. A series of exhibits on "The Speed of the Game" regularly dot the concourse, dishing out interesting tidbits on the speed of certain actions in baseball and further commemorating former Clippers' players who particularly excelled. And the Columbus Victory Bell even finds its home in left.
Huntington Park is a must visit for any fan of baseball or baseball parks. The premium prices it sometimes charges are justified by the experience it provides, while still giving families options to make it an affordable night out at the park.
Not as thrilled as you
Just went to Huntington Park in August 2011 as part of a 6 park road trip through WV and OH. Columbus was the least favorite of our stops. The park is beautiful, but the game day experience was really terrible, from start to finish.
1) traffic around the stadium for a day game was a nightmare, and they did very little to shepherd people in the right direction.
2) At game time there was still a 15-20 minute wait at will call for tickets.
3) In the park, we were in the section that points to mid CF... Our tickets were for row A, but the seats are actually numbered, and not lettered... unnecessary confusion.
4) Concession lines were incredibly slow. the barbecue area announced a 40 minute wait, and the hot dog stand took 15 minutes to go through 3 people in front of us.
I got the impression that the staff felt that ticket sales were good, so they did not focus on customer service at all... really dampened our experience.

Rock the night away
Went to a playoff game last year and there is an open bar behind third base which was playing loud rock the entire game. I don't know if anything can be done about it but it became anoying after a while.

You must be a Stadium Journey member to post a comment.
Opened in 2009, Huntington Park is home to the Columbus Clippers, the AAA affiliate of the Cleveland Indians. Everything is working in the favor of this being a great minor league baseball experience. There is close geographic proximity to the MLB team, plenty to do around the stadium, good food, and great views of talented players who are just one step away from the show.
Huntington Park is another example of a fantastic downtown minor league park. Located just blocks away from the home of the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets, Nationwide Arena, the park nicely cements this area as the Arena District of Columbus.
A beautiful park, with a nice downtown setting, but everything in our gameday experience was a hassle. We came for a day game, mid-week... nice crowd, but not packed. the staff just didn't seem to be in any hurry to take care of people.
I've been going to Clipper games as long as I can remember and am a huge fan of Huntington Park as compared to Cooper Stadium ... it's kind of like comparing PNC Park to Three Rivers in Pittsburgh.
The atmosphere is amazing and the neighborhood is really non-existent as its an entertainment district. Great for games but come down on a non-game night and its as quiet as church mouse.
My only issue is the increase in prices for food since the team moved. The concessions are good and tasty, but when a hot dog costs me $4 it darn well better. But then, don't miss those famous dime-a-dog nights.
The park mixes what people want from a new stadium with some nice historic pieces. The right field is cool, the gift shop, food options, and parking options are good.
This park is great to visit, especially at the beginning of the season. Many of the games at the start of the season doesn't have too big of a crowd. They have great promotions such as: dime-a-dog night, buck-a-bone (ribs) night, and family nights. There are also some days where the first so many fans get a free prize when walking in. It's always best to get there about an hour before they open, plus if you get there earlier you can get watch batting practice from the outside of the park. Prices are a bit steep for food and gift shop, but its part of the experience, and they usually have a way to keep you entertained in between innings. I highly recommend going.
I had none of the problems I've read about elsewhere, although that was largely because I stayed within walking distance. The area around the park is under construction and that will cause problems if you drive, particularly for weeknight games when rush hour traffic is trying to exit downtown. Food options were great and not overpriced, the atmosphere was wonderful, with few of the promotions that tend to distract from the game, the Columbus downtown area is really coming along nicely, and the fans and staff were incredibly friendly. Roosters and the Hall of Fame bar were great stopping points. Seeing Stadium Journey mentioned prominently was gratifying. $15 is a bit much for minor league ball though, and the scoreboard operator needs to pay attention to the game.
Columbus has won stadium of the year two times now and I just don't see what's so awesome about it. It's a good park, don't get me wrong, but nothing really amazing about it.

Thief Steals Cash From Provecho Grill in Early Morning Burglary
Provecho Grill, a popular Mexican restaurant in the Sun City Shopping Center in Menifee, was burg...
Provecho Grill, a popular Mexican restaurant in the Sun City Shopping Center in Menifee, was burglarized early this morning.
According to Provecho owner Rosie O'Connor, the burglary occurred about 4:30 a.m. and was reported sometime later when a maintenance worker discovered the front glass door shattered. An undisclosed amount of cash was taken from a cash register.
Security video shows a single thief wearing a ski mask smashing cash registers and ransacking cabinets, apparently looking for more cash. O'Connor said it appears he was inside the restaurant for only about five minutes before leaving with cash he stuffed into a black bag.
O'Connor said the security video also shows a man pulling up to the front of the store and smashing through the front glass with a sledgehammer. He then left for about 10 minutes -- apparently waiting to see if an alarm would alert police -- before returning to enter the restaurant.
"This is definitely somebody who's a pro at this," Kuhns said. "He knew to pull up to the business, smash the door and pull away to see if anyone would show up. Then he climbed through the window and was inside just a few minutes -- just long enough to grab the cash and go."
Police are reviewing the security video. Menifee 24/7 will update this story with a still shot from the video and a complete description of the suspect as soon as it is available. According to Kuhns, the suspect was wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt, dark pants, black sneakers, gloves and a ski mask, making it very difficult to identify him. O'Connor said he appeared to be a "big guy," at least 200 pounds.
"He threw down the registers to break them open, took cash and then went into the office," O'Connor said. "He took my phone. That's what really upsets me. All my private information is on there."
Despite the incident, O'Connor and Kuhns said they plan to open for business as usual at 10 a.m. today. The front door is being repaired and at least one of the registers can still be used.

We have a very nice Euphorbia photo from Geoff in Britain. His dad is in the picture, and we understand he likes to call it a "Cowboy Cactus". Indeed many people ask us for a cactus like those in the old westerns, and this is what they mean, even though it's from Africa. Now you know.

(HealthNewsDigest.com) - December 26, 2013, WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon Federal Credit Union Foundation (PenFed Foundation), a nationally recognized nonprofit organization working to meet the unmet financial needs of military members and their families, announced today it helped more than 200 military families this year alone attain the dream of owning their first home through its Dream Makers program by providing a record-breaking $1 million in grants to cover down payments and closing costs.
"Many families struggle to buy their first home, but for military families it can be even harder," said Christopher Flynn, president and CEO of the PenFed Foundation. "From frequent moves around the country and overseas to trouble saving money for a down payment, members of our armed services often have to postpone this important milestone. Our Dream Makers program helps bridge that gap."
The program helps military families who are first-time homebuyers purchase their first home by offering grants for down payments and closing costs. Service members and veterans of all branches of the military are eligible to apply including the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense. Widows of service members are also eligible.
Other requirements include having a gross annual income of $55,000 or less, or 80 percent of area median income, adjusted for family size. In order to receive a grant, the borrower must also attend an approved first-time homebuyer's course by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
"The Dream Makers program provides an incredible opportunity for many military families who have sacrificed so much to protect our nation to buy their very own home," added Flynn. "There are so many ways we can thank the military community for their service and sacrifice and this program is one of the best."

Galaxy Note III affordable version to have LCD screen, 8MP cam. Galaxy S5 may not be made of plastic
Not a day goes by without a rumor or leak about the Samsung Galaxy Note III. And that's to be expected, really, because the phablet is due to get unveiled next week.
Today's rumor, though, is one of the more 'out there' ones we've heard so far, so make sure you have a healthy dose of sodium nearby before we continue.
Apparently there will be an affordable version of the Galaxy Note III released at the same time as the 'flagship' model. This cheaper Note III will sport an LCD screen, and it will have an 8 MP camera. The flagship Galaxy Note III should come with an AMOLED display and a 13 MP rear snapper. Obviously, these changes are meant to make the affordable version cheaper than the other one.
It's being speculated that around 30% of the first production run for the Galaxy Note III will be of the cheaper model. In absolute numbers, we're talking 1 to 1.5 million out of 4 million. The more affordable variant will be aimed at and sold primarily in emerging markets. Unfortunately we can't tell you anything more detailed than that yet.
This 'self-cannibalization' from Samsung is in part due to issues with sourcing enough parts for the Galaxy Note III. But it also seems to be a sort of experiment from the Korean company, an experimental way of launching a flagship (with multiple models). That is, if this rumor turns out to be true. We'll have to wait and see.
In other Samsung-related news, the Galaxy S5 is said to get a metal casing. That would break with tradition, as for the first time since the original Galaxy S launched one of the Korean company's flagships would not be made out of plastic.
The polycarbonate materials that Samsung has been using on its Galaxy S and Galaxy Note lines have been criticized a lot in the media lately, especially after HTC unveiled its all-metal One earlier this year. Some people say that holding a metal phone in your hand gives you a more premium feel compared to one made out of plastic. And other people keep repeating this idea over and over again.
So it looks like Samsung finally noticed all these people. And as it usually does, the company is getting ready to be a 'fast follower' yet again, only in this case it will be HTC's lead that it will follow. Next year will be all about metal for Samsung, if it manages to sort out manufacturing in time.
It's going to start a production line before the end of this year, and it's looking to minimize the effects of using metal in the construction (bad reception, for example). Let's hope that Samsung isn't thinking about ditching microSD card support or removable batteries from its flagship handsets like so many of its competitors have already done (hopefully it will recognize what a competitive advantage this has become).

Poverty in Michigan
Per the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey, in 2005-2009, 15 percent of people were in poverty. Nineteen percent of related children under 18 were below the poverty level, compared with 9 percent of people 65 years old and over. Ten percent of all families and 32 percent of families with a female householder and no husband present had incomes below the poverty level.
The US Census also has an interactive Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates tool on their website where you can see County and school district level data.

Key developments on swine flu outbreaks, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, and government officials:
* Deaths: 19 confirmed in Mexico and one confirmed in U.S., a 21-month-old boy from Mexico who died in Texas.
* Confirmed sickened worldwide, 809: 473 in Mexico; 197 in U.S.; 85 in Canada; 15 in Spain; 15 in Britain; six in Germany; four in New Zealand; two in Israel, France and South Korea; one each in Costa Rica, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Hong Kong, Denmark and the Netherlands.
* U.S. confirmed cases: New York 50; Texas 28; California 24; Arizona 17; South Carolina 13; Delaware 10; Massachusetts eight; New Jersey seven; Maine six; Wisconsin three; Ohio three; Indiana three; Illinois three; Kansas two; Colorado two; Virginia two; Michigan two; Missouri two; Connecticut two; Florida two; New Hampshire one; Utah one; Rhode Island one; Iowa one; Kentucky one; Minnesota one; Nebraska one; Nevada one.
* President Barack Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderon spoke for 20 minutes Saturday by phone "to share information about each country's efforts to limit the spread" of the flu strain, the White House says.
The World Health Organization says it has sent 2.4 million treatments of anti-flu drug Tamiflu to 72 developing countries, taking the drugs from a stockpile donated by Roche Holding AG.
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says about a third of the confirmed U.S. cases of swine flu are people who had been to Mexico and likely picked up the infection there.
Mexico has taken extraordinary measures against the epidemic, ordering all nonessential government and private businesses to shut down for five days.
The U.S. government says schools with confirmed cases should close for at least 14 days because children can be contagious for seven to 10 days from when they get sick. More than 430 U.S. schools had closed, affecting about 245,000 children in 18 states.
Chicago Public Schools officials say students who come to school with a cough and fever starting Monday will be sent home and required to stay there for at least seven days.
All 176 weekend soccer games in Mexico from the first division to the lowly third were shuttered to fans. The games went on behind closed doors.
The U.N. and World Trade Organization say there's no justification for any anti-pork trade measures as a result of the swine flu epidemic since there is no evidence the virus is spread by food.
Pigs on a Canadian farm have been infected with the new swine flu virus apparently by a farm worker back from Mexico and are under quarantine, officials say. It is the first known case of pigs having the virus.

Jason Austell joined the crew of NBC 7 News Today in October 2007. After 15 years of reporting traffic and breaking news from the skies above San Diego, Jason hung up his headphones and soon took over the morning anchor position alongside Marianne Kushi. From brush fires to rescues and high-speed police chases, Jason's covered it all. As an anchor he's able to draw on his experience from thousands of flight hours. Jason knows San Diego's history, topography and infrastructure in a way most people can only imagine. "No amount of classroom or book time could possibly compare to that type of uniquely local experience", he says. "When I first started on the morning show I was really amazed by the crew", Austell reflects. "I still think one of the best elements of the show is the people the viewers rarely get to see. The producers, directors, writers and technicians here make getting up early and coming to work a lot of fun."
Jason grew up the son of a Naval aviator who commanded fighter squadrons and even a Naval Air Station. While he always considered San Diego his home, life in a military family had Jason moving frequently. He attended high schools in northern Virginia and New Orleans before graduating from San Pasqual in Escondido. Jason enjoys surfing, hiking and trail running. He and his wife, Moji, live in La Jolla where she has owned a Pilates studio for many years.

Etta James' recent death moved much of the music community almost as much as her musical legacy did, but Christina Aguilera was surely among those more affected. James was long an influence on the singer, and her signature song "At Last" is a standard on Aguilera's tours–as there's enough footage online to confirm.
Before singing at James' funeral, Aguilera admitted as much, saying that "there's not a set list that goes by in a show that I do that I don't include this particular song." She continued, seeming genuinely overcome: "There's a line in this song that says 'I found a dream that I could speak to.' And for me, all my life, that dream has been Etta James… Out of all the singers that I've ever heard, she was the one that cut right to my soul and spoke to me." Listen below.
Stevie Wonder, who needs no introduction and who is one of the few musicians to near James' legendary status, also sang at the service; we'll update this with video when it's available.

MSNBC filled out its prime-time schedule Monday night with the debut of "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell," injecting yet another reliably liberal voice into a line-up that already includes Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow.
The new show took over the 10 p.m. time slot, bumping a rerun of Olbermann's 8 p.m. show and giving MSNBC original programming across its prime-time block for the first time.
For his first show, O'Donnell, a former Democratic Senate staffer and writer on "The West Wing," managed to snag an exclusive interview with Vice President Joe Biden -- no mean feat for a rookie cable host.
However, O'Donnell didn't extract any major news from the frequently loose-lipped veep, who wouldn't even take an easy whack at Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell or comment on Stephen Colbert's controversial turn through Congress.
Curiously, the Biden interview was chopped into pieces and interspersed with extensive commentary from Olbermann, who was on the set for the first half of the show.
O'Donnell -- displaying all the pizzazz of a small-town eye doctor -- did not benefit from the contrast. He faded into the woodwork. Indeed, Olbermann's hijacking of O'Donnell's show was so complete that a casual viewer might not have known which man was hosting.
And that could be a big problem for O'Donnell. In the world of cable news, failing to create a distinct impression with viewers is a deadly sin, and it's no way to catch Fox's Greta Van Susteren, who has dominated the 10 p.m. hour for the better part of a decade.
Over the past year, MSNBC passed CNN in the prime-time ratings thanks to Maddow's smart, original story-telling and Olbermann's manic, in-your-face liberalsim. O'Donnell will likewise have to find a way to distinguish himself if he has any hope of building his own audience.

By getting vaccinated, you can protect yourself from influenza and may also avoid spreading influenza to others. The Health Center will continue to offer flu shots as long as the supply lasts for $15.

Funeral Kings Movie Reviews
User reviews on Funeral Kings
This film tells a story about two altar boys Andy and Charlie whose irreverent personalities puts them in situations that are too big for them to handle. I thought this film was pretty interesting and clever and I liked it but I do not think it is necessary to see it on the big screen, you will be better off renting it. The film had a lot of wonderful little details and the story was great but sometimes I got a bit annoyed by the plot's head fakes, it was a bit too much. I did find the film to be quite funny and the young actors did a good job with their roles, even though there were moments where the performances were not very believable I was impressed because the actors were so young. Overall, the film was entertaining and interesting and I really liked the music so I guess I had a positive experience.

When I first became interested in essential oils, the number of biblical oils that there are really got my attention.
You may not notice it at first, but once you start looking for them, you can easily see that there are a lot of essential oils in the Bible. It almost makes you wonder whether God purposely provided these biblical oils for our benefit?
Actually, the Bible itself indicates this to be the case!
"And by the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. . . their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing" (Ezek.47:12).
All told, there are over 500 direct and indirect references to essential oils in the Bible.
There are fourteen biblical oils that are considered primary. These are: myrrh, frankincense, cedarwood, cinnamon, cassia, calamus, galbanum, onycha, spikenard, hyssop, sandalwood, myrtle, cypress, and rose of sharon.
Each of these oils contain certain chemical compounds that equip them to promote overall health not only on the physical level, but on an emotional, mental, and spiritual level as well.
Certainly, it's for this reason that we see biblical oils were so highly valued. People have always treasured those substances that improve their health. Biblical times were no different.
Consider a few examples of the value clearly placed on these oils. . .
There are numerous instances that show that the essential oils of the Bible were believed to have therapeutic value, or were in some way connected to cleansing and restoration.
Some have argued that it was not an essential oil, but everyday olive oil that was used in the practice of anointing described in the Bible. While it's true that olive oil was likely used, it does not take into account that it commonly served as a carrier oil to make the more costly essential oils go further.
The presence of biblical oils, and their connection with healing those in need, does much to explain the value placed on them, and why anyone would want to have them to help maintain their own health today.
As it says in the Proverbs, "There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise. . ." (21:20).

Darth_Sasuna, I would recommend you check out the Modding / Editing boards in our KotOR section.
Also, please read the forum descriptions before you post so your threads are in the right area; I have moved this one to the off-topic section as it is not related to Star Wars: The Old Republic.

This question is motivated by my previous post about sinc function.
Prove or disprove that $\frac{\sin x}{x}$ is the only nonzero entire (i.e. analytic everywhere) function $f(x)$ on $\mathbb{R}$ such that $$\int_0^\infty f(x) dx=\int_0^\infty f(x)^2 dx$$ or $$\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x) dx=\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)^2 dx.$$
If $f$ is required only to be continuous, then other examples are possible, e.g. the even extension of the following function: $$ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} -2(5+\sqrt{65})x^2+(7+\sqrt{65})x-1 & 0\le x\le \frac{1}{2}\\ 2(5+\sqrt{65})x^2-(13+3\sqrt{65})x+4+\sqrt{65} & \frac{1}{2}\le x\le 1\\ \frac{1}{x^2} & x\ge 1 \end{array}\right. $$
As commented below, it turns out that there are easy answers to the above question. AD also showed a function below that also satisfies $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n)^2=0. $$ In view of these answers, my question is now revised to:
Prove or disprove that $\frac{\sin x}{x}$ is the only nonzero entire function, $f(x)$ on $\mathbb{R}$ such that $$\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x) dx=\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)^2 dx=\sum_{-\infty}^\infty f(n) =\sum_{-\infty}^\infty f(n)^2 $$

USC Government & Civic Engagement »
USC spearheaded the original effort to draw together the museums and colleges in central Los Angeles and form ECCLA. USC, through the department of Government & Civic Engagement (GCE), has been one of ECCLA's staunchest supporters since inception. USC GCE hosts ECCLA's office space and makes a variety of on-going, in-kind contributions to support the mission and goals of ECCLA.
California Retired Teachers Association »
For the last ten years the Area VII Chapter, Division 12, of the California Retired Teachers Association has generously underwritten scholarships for graduating high school seniors from our ECCLA targeted schools in Central Los Angeles.
Ernestine Turner Memorial Scholarship Prize at Carver Middle School
When long-time teacher Ernestine Turner passed away in 2008, her family sought a way to make a lasting legacy. Her son Thomas Turner, also a teacher, and his brother elected to establish a fund at ECCLA to support the awarding of a scholarship at Mr. Turner's school. Each year 8th grade students at Carver learn that it is not too early to start thinking about college, and have the chance to win money to support their dreams.
USC Civic and Community Relations – Regina Hunter Bloom Endowment
For nineteen years, an endowment from the estate of Regina Hunter Bloom (administered through the USC Office of Civic and Community Relations) underwrote the prize money awarded in a number of ECCLA's programs, including ECCLA's two annual essay contests, the Eighth- Grade Scholarships and two annual Teacher Awards. We are grateful to Ms. Bloom's estate for the many students who have benefitted from her generosity.
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson T. Bogart, Jr.
Inspired by an article about USC's Family of Schools, Doris and Nelson T. Bogart, Jr. handed over a check for $50,000 to USC President Steven Sample to support local kindergarten through 12th grade education. Both Nelsons were USC alumnae from the Bay Area. From 2001 to 2011, USC made some of those funds available to underwrite prizes for excellence in teaching among the schools officially adopted as part of USC's "Family of Schools."

Flames Defeat Drake to Claim UIC Soccer Classic Title
Sept. 18, 2011
Ivan Stanisavljevic tallied a three-goal hat trick, including the game-winner with under 20 seconds remaining in double-overtime, lifting the UIC men's soccer team to a 3-2 win over Drake in the final game of the UIC Soccer Classic at Flames Field Sunday afternoon. With the victory, the Flames claimed the tournament title as the field's only team with back-to-back wins.
Stanisavljevic finished the two-game tournament with four goals and two assists, for a total of 10 points. UIC improved to 4-1-2 on the season, while Drake dropped to 4-3-1. Earlier in the day, Wisconsin and SIU-Edwardsville played to a 1-1 draw in double-overtime. The Badgers finished second in the tournament, while SIU-E was third. Drake dropped both games of the tourney, finishing fourth in the field.
"This was a great weekend for our program, especially coming off the type of season we had last year," said head coach Sean Phillips. "We won a few games early this season where we took the early lead, and were able to hold on. This weekend we had two performances in which we were forced to overcome some mistakes, and really showed our youth. Our senior leadership kept us focused and believing right up to the end of the game. We proved that with two overtime wins at home."
Stanisavljevic put UIC on the board 1-0 in the sixth minute (5:55), after capitalizing on a served ball from redshirt sophomore Phil Galounis, who was attacking from just inside the 18-yard box on the right wing. Stanisavljevic headed the ball over goalkeeper Rich Gallagher for his seventh point of the tournament.
Drake's Matt Kuhn then knotted the score at 1-1 with just under five minutes remaining (40:34) in the opening half. The unassisted tally to the near post beat UIC goalkeeper Piotr Kikolski from about 10 yards out.
A pair of penalty kicks in a 1:12 span near the end of the opening stanza tied the score at 2-2 heading into the locker room at halftime. Stanisavljevic beat Gallagher at the 42:55 mark, while Kuhn tallied his second goal of the game with just under two minutes remaining (43:43). Kikolski was handed a yellow card on the play, resulting in the attempted penalty kick.
In a downpour throughout the second half, the game remained scoreless, despite the Flames taking 13 shots in the second 45-minute period. Drake's Michael Noonan was given a red card in the 81st minute (80:37), giving the Flames a one-man advantage for the ensuing 22 minutes - but UIC's Paul Tracy was then handed a red card just over two minutes into the second overtime (102:51), setting up a 10-on-10 match-up down the stretch.
Stanisavljevic then put the finishing touches on the dramatic win, receiving the ball just outside the 18-yard box, and carved through one defender to beat Gallagher on the near post with just 18.6 seconds remaining in double-overtime. It marked the Flames' second-straight win in extra time, and the fourth time UIC has played in double-overtime this season - the Flames are unbeaten in those contests.
"Ivan's (Stanisavljevic) weekend was unbelievable," Phillips said. "He's really playing beyond our expectations. He's put in the work to be a great offensive player, and I expect him to continue to improve as this team grows throughout the rest of the season."
UIC will play one game this week, traveling to Dayton, Ohio to take on the Dayton Flyers on Friday (Sept. 23) beginning at 6 p.m. CST.

I have a bit of a problem with my shorewall setup. Here is a copy of my rules file:
DNAT fw wan:172.16.1.224:6999 tcp 80
DNAT net wan:172.16.1.218 tcp 7000
And here is my zones:
fw firewall
wan ipv4
loc ipv4
net ipv4
Here is my policy:
fw all ACCEPT
wan all ACCEPT
loc all ACCEPT
net all ACCEPT
and interfaces:
wan eth2 detect routeback
The first rule, which forwards any requests from port 80 to port 6999 works fine. Now I want to forward traffic from port 7000 on x.x.x.224 to port 7000 on x.x.x.218. The second rule doesn't appear to be working.

Associated Press reports that Shimon Peres has promised the Custodian of Religious Sites in the Holy Land, Father Pierbattista Pizzaballa, that police will increase efforts to combat the vandalism of Christian holy sites by suspected Jewish extremists. This was in response to a request by the Custodian that the president intervene.
I would like to thank you for the letter you sent me, which was written with a sense of deep concern, and read in the same vein.
The events you described are liable to harm neighborly relations and the Tolerant co-existence between religions and streams in Israel; they moreover threaten the brotherly relations between Jews and Christians. They run against the law, against Jewish morality, and against faith itself.
I regret these deeds, which deserve nothing but condemnation.
The State of Israel is proud of the freedom of religion and freedom of worship it harbors. We were all born in the image of God, and we are equal in our right to be different.
Upon receiving your letter, I immediately called upon the law-enforcing officials who reiterated before me their obligation to place the required prevention and enforcing activities at the top of their list of priorities. I am convinced that they will do all they can to capture the perpetrators at the earliest possible opportunity and bring them to justice.
Please accept the profound shock I feel in face of these occurrences and my hope for a continuation to the tolerance and mutual respect in Jerusalem and throughout the country.
Sincerely yours,
Shimon Peres

How to Apply
NOTE: The deadline has passed for submitting applications and nominations for activists wishing to stay in Ann Arbor between September 2015 and April 2017. To learn about the activists who were chosen, visit our 2015 & 2016 VSAs page.
The Visiting Social Activist program defines social justice and equity programs broadly to include activism in such areas as housing, employment, income support, food security, education, violence, child care, health care, and employer benefits like paid sick leave and retirement income. The program supports activists whose work addresses gender equity issues that affect the lives of women and/or girls.
Visiting Social Activist Product
Interested activists must develop a product proposal relevant to their work. Product examples include a report, plan of action, communication strategy, training tool or other item. The product will later be published on CEW's website. Nominees must outline a plan for working on the product during their four-week stay and describe how insights gained from the visit will be integrated into the activist's future work. Ideally, nominees should be able to suggest ways to disseminate their product in order to advance the work of other activists. Product ideas with the potential to have a regional or national impact and/or to be replicable by other activists are encouraged.
Nomination, Application & Selection Process
The process to select future Visiting Social Activists occurs every other year. Two activists are selected at a time, with their Ann Arbor residencies typically scheduled for the following two academic years (i.e., September through April). For example, in April 2013, Diana Copeland was selected for a residency in October 2013 and Nancy Duff Campbell was selected for a residency in September 2014.
Activists have already been chosen for residencies between September 2015 and April 2017. We are open to receiving materials for activists whose stay would be between September 2017 and April 2019. Applications and nominations should be submitted to Beth Sullivan at email@example.com.

Fire Chief Heather Burford points out that, while some Ridgefield houses are easy to gain access to in an emergency, others are well fortified and require some significant destruction before firefighters can get inside.
To avoid that problem, she encourages Ridgefielders to get Knox Boxes, which are safes that only firefighters can open and that hold a spare house key.
They're common on commercial buildings, but some homes can have them, too. In all, some 730 properties in town have them, which Chief Burford says is very high.
"The key's not made available to anybody else," Chief Burford said.
The boxes can be opened only with a key that is stored in a secure box on the department's vehicles. Each firefighter has a personal access code to unlock the key, and a blue light flashes on the device until the key is safely locked back up.
In addition to avoiding costly damage, Knox Boxes can make it easier for firefighters to get to people who might be inside a home but unable to open the door, such as an elderly person who has fallen.

Russian President Vladimir Putin gave such an eloquent speech on the annexation of the Crimea. How the Crimea was going home to Mother Russia. That the region that had so longed to be a part of that once great Soviet Union was going to be reunited again. The man was lying through his teeth.
A couple of years back it was announced that the Black Sea was a treasure trove of natural resources one of them was oil. Russia wanted to extend its area of the Black Sea coast and it thought it would negotiate a treaty with the Ukraine and have a larger share of the proverbial pie. The treaty fell through. Russia knowing that it had to do whatever it would take to acquire this area of sea annexed the Crimea after instigating unrest in the region.
The removal of then President Viktor Yanukovych of the Ukraine led to a crisis in the region and the Russians knew they had to do something. They moved their army into the Crimean peninsular under the guise of war games at first. Then Russian moved the armies onto the border because of the threat against Russian loving co-patriots in fear of their lives.
Yanukovych had at first leaned to the west to Allie itself but Putin stepped in last fall and talked him to coming back to Russia for trade agreements. This infuriated most of the western section of the Ukraine and Yanukovych fled to Russia soil for protection. You see those agreements that were first being negotiated with the west had some understandings that the Ukrainian section of the Black Sea would be explored for oil reserves and thus freeing it from depending on Russia for oil. Putin wouldn't hear of this.
It has been predicted that the area of the Black Sea now under Russian control is worth trillions. Russia has been in dire need of funds since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The increased revenue that could be forthcoming would put Russia back in the driver seat when it comes to oil and Putin has known this.
The Ukraine lost much with the annexation of the Crimea. The area of the Black Sea that they would have controlled would have turned the whole region upside down. Russia would not have been in control as they want to be. Putin is not stupid. He saw his opening and he took it. The question is now what is he going to do with it and just how many customers will they be able to control?

We had visited the shelter before with no luck but decided to visit again on my daughter's birthday. I told her, "no pitbulls, German shepards, doberman's, or heelers." Well, there he was, pawing at the gate, a brindle coat, pitbull mix. Our hearts melted and I was forced to eat my words; he's most likely a mix of every dog I told her not to look for, and he's been the perfect companion, watchdog, and friend. He wakes the kids up for school in the morning by jumping on the bed and pulling off their sheets, then licking them in the face. He walks them back and forth to the bus, and barks when he hears anything suspicious. And better yet, hes gentle, well-trained, and fun to be around! What more could you ask for in family member?

Cyprus bailout conundrum can be avoided
Squaring the circle
The island state's upcoming euro zone and IMF bailout could make its debt load unsustainable. Solutions like hitting bondholders or depositors are risky and controversial. But a mix of half-measures, boosted by a little optimism, could help Cyprus through its financial straits.

Juan Pablo Galavis hasn't impressed fans of "The Bachelor" this season, so perhaps his new gig portraying an appliance salesman in a commercial for Rochester Appliance in upstate New York will make him a star.
It's almost certain that Galavis does not find lasting love with the girl he reportedly picks, so what's better than getting paid a few bucks to appear in a 30-second spot for an appliance store?
In the commercial, Juan Pablo plays the role of a salesman who tries to assist two female shoppers. Of course, the ladies are more interested in his "goods" than the refrigerators and stoves on the showroom floor.
Watch the commercial, "Just Looking" starring Juan Pablo here.
Galavis has only four lines in commercial. Saying very little is probably a good idea. He has been criticized throughout the season for saying things that either didn't make sense or were downright insulting, including his "more pervert" gay comments.
Is the Rochester Appliance commercial a start to Juan Pablo's post-"Bachelor" career? It's rumored that he is not going to be one of the cast members on the new season of "Dancing with the Stars" so perhaps corny commercials will be as Hollywood as he will get.
Celeb Dirty Laundry states that Galavis was compensated by Rochester Appliance to help put the "store on the map."
There is no word if he was given a free stove, cash or a date with one of the women who starred in the ad.

How Leica Lenses Are Made (VIDEO)
Speaking of Leica lenses, here's a brief video about how these pricey pieces of glass are made.
While the video is clearly Leica marketing propaganda, it's hard not to be impressed with the precision with which these products are made. We particularly like how the F/stops are hand filed in with an ultrasonic drill. Sweet.

National Post ·
'My name is Kyle MacDonald and I traded one red paperclip for a house. I started with one red paperclip on July 12, 2005 and 14 trades later, on July 12, 2006, I will trade with the Town of Kipling, Sask. for a house located at 503 Main Street."
-- oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com
Kyle traded his way up through a fish pen, a Coleman stove, a generator, a snowmobile, a van, one year's free rent in Phoenix, an afternoon with rock star Alice Cooper, and finally to the house, one year later.
That sounds impressive, but was it worth the time and trouble? The answer is yes, but not for the reasons we might think.
Judging from the local real estate market, Kyle's house is worth about $50,000. Why didn't Kyle just go out and buy a house? Surely such a smart and able person could have spent the year working at a good job. Even if Kyle would not have earned much his first year, he would, over time, likely attain a much higher wage. A good floor trader on a commodities exchange can become a millionaire. A good salesman can, on commission, earn more than a company president. The cost of Kyle's trading is not what he could have earned his first year, but rather what he could have earned in that one missing year from the latter part of his career. I'll hazard a guess that is more than $100,000, or in other words, more than the value of the house.
Bartering a paper clip is not easy. Kyle had a full-time job and more. By his own account, he worked every single day, five to 15 hours a day, looking for trades. He did not always have much to offer, but he convinced his traders to be part of his project and part of his story. Much of the "trading" was in fact a form of charity. Alice Cooper donated one afternoon of his time, so that a friend of his could have a free apartment for one year in Phoenix. Kyle took the deal. Even if the apartment is, in narrow economic terms, worth more than Alice Cooper's time, Cooper has better publicity value.
Kyle traded "down" when he gave up the time with Alice Cooper for a motorized KISS snow globe with multi-coloured lights. Still he kept the story alive. Later, for the snow globe, he received a role in a film; presumably, the moviemakers expect this to yield publicity.
The town of Kipling also sought recognition. A Web search for Kipling, Sask. reveals that, as of Oct. 16, 2006, four out of the first five Google entries concern Kyle McDonald. The town of 1,140 people might otherwise attract little positive notice. But clever town officials saw a way to boost their locale. They renovated a 1920s house and offered it to Kyle for the movie role. They also made him honorary mayor for a day and honorary citizen for life.
In return, a Kipling resident will play the movie role that was "owned" by Kyle MacDonald. 19-year-old local resident Nolan Hubbard will appear in Donna on Demand, produced by Corbin Bernsen.
The reality is this: Much of Kyle's trading was either "down" or "sideways." A motorized snow globe -- his penultimate holding -- isn't worth much more than a red paper clip. Kyle's trades were governed, not by the traditional economic logic of valuable wealth accumulation, but rather by a quest for publicity. Once the publicity reached a high enough pitch, someone -- in this case a town -- stepped forward with a house. Kyle apparently is a marvelous salesperson and a first-rate marketer.
One economic lesson of Kyle's travails is that, for most of us, the use of money is more efficient than barter. When we want a house, most of us should take out loans and just pay for it. Filling out the mortgage forms is a pain but this process is remarkably easy by historical or global standards.
The second and more important lesson is that marketing and salesmanship pay off. But in this case, the prize was not the house. Kyle is now famous. Kyle informs me that he has signed a book contract and has received an advance. Here, in part, is the trade announcement:
"Kyle MacDonald's One Red Paperclip, blending Napoleon Dynamite and Anthony Robbins, the story of how the author turned a simple red paperclip into the house of his dreams, to Jason Pinter at Three Rivers Press, by Marc Gerald and Brandon Stein at The Agency Group. Foreign rights to Jake Lingwood at Ebury U.K., in a pre-empt."
A "pre-empt" means that one publisher made an offer so strong that Kyle did not bring the book to an open bid. The pre-emptive sale of foreign rights is an additional sign that the book was in high demand and will do very well.
Hail Kyle. What he really got was a lucrative book contract and a path to fame. He didn't even have to give up his house. Or, for that matter, his second red paper clip.

UA head coach John Mackovic and staff put the Wildcat football team through the paces in three sessions on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Wildcats also dressed in full pads for the first time on Saturday. The team engaged in some full-speed work at the stadium but did not have a full scrimmage.
"Overall, I would say it was fine. I wouldn't call it any better than that. We have a long ways to go. We'll see how our guys do at the next practice. If they come back ready to go to work and learn and are sharp and ready to pay attention, then we'll know that they are ready to do this," Mackovic said following Saturday's session.
The squad will return to the practice facility on Tuesday afternoon for its seventh practice session.
The team is allowed 15 spring practices under NCAA guidelines and will conclude spring drills with the Spring Game on April 21 in Arizona Stadium.
All spring practices are open to the public. Most are scheduled on the practice facility at North Campbell Avenue and Enke Drive, across from McKale Center, but the Spring Game and some other sessions will be held in Arizona Stadium.
Arizona Head Coach John Mackovic QuotesOn Sunday's practice:
"Well, they were a little tired today and a little sluggish, but we told them that they will get no sympathy on the football field. We pushed them as well as we could today, and we expect to have a better practice come Tuesday."
"We ran a two-minute offense/defense situation at the end of practice. The different strategy situations are just so important for us, and it is a good way to get some teaching on the tape."
On the wide receivers:
"I definitely see a lot of potential. They just have to work hard in order to have the discipline that they need. We need them to work on being in the places that they are supposed to be in every time. The passing game is always built on the timing phase, and we just need them to learn to adjust to the zones."

Cheyenne Woods, the niece of Tiger Woods, leads in the Aussie Masters after three rounds. Cheyenne Woods, 23, an American professional golfer, takes a one stroke lead into the final round in the Australian Ladies' Masters. Saturday, she shot a 2-under par round of 71 which – according to the PGA and an ESPN report on Saturday – has her headed for her first win as a pro golfer.
In the competition, held at the Royal Pines Resort, Cheyenne Woods has totaled a 3-round total of 12-under par at 207.
Currently, South Africa's Stacey Lee Bregman is in second place – a stroke behind Woods, and Australia's amateur champion Minjee Lee is in third place.
The golf match ends on Sunday, and all eyes are on Tiger Woods' niece to see if she can win her first championship – following in her uncle's footsteps on the golf course.
Cheyenne Woods is the daughter of Earl Dennison Woods Jr. who is Tiger Woods' half-brother. Her grandfather, Earl Woods who was Tiger's father, was her first golf coach. She has already 30-some amateur tournaments during her career.

About My Kind of Town
"My Kind of Town" is a relentlessly energetic primetime studio show in which real American people, in all of their imperfect and awkward glory, have the chance to become the stars of their own show for one memorable night. Each week a lucky handful of residents selected from among the townspeople in the audience will participate in individualized comedic games and gags for prizes tailored to their own lives, interests and needs. One person from the group is chosen to play the big end game, where they will shoulder the burden of either winning or losing a huge prize for the other townspeople in the audience - all of whom they will see every day for the rest of their lives. The show is hosted by Johnny Vaughn
