Kipyego Sets New Collegiate Record in the 3000M
Feb. 7, 2009
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech's eight-time NCAA champion Sally Kipyego etched her name into the record books at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games on Saturday, as she set a new collegiate record of 8:48.77 in the 3000M.
Kipyego, the only collegian in the race, placed second to professional Kara Goucher by only two seconds. The time of 8:48.77 breaks the previous record of 8:49.28 held by Kim Smith of Providence set in 2004.
The senior set a personal-best, school-record and the time is a NCAA automatic mark, but due to NCAA rules the time will not qualify her for the NCAA Championships. Kipyego also holds the NCAA record of 31:25.45 in the outdoor 10,000M.
Gilbert Limo ran a personal-best time of 4:05.51 to finish eighth in the mile at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games.
Tech had four NCAA provisional marks at the final Texas Tech Invitational of the year. Kelsey Lloyd set a personal best and jumped a NCAA provisional mark of 5'10" to place second in the high jump. Freshman Amanda Dowdy cleared 5'-6" for fourth place.
Junior Amanda Alley, a year off of a knee injury, set a personal-best and NCAA provisional mark of 13'-3.75" to win the pole vault. Freshman Sage Lasater cleared 12'-7.50" placing second.
Gladys Kipsang finished third in the mile with a NCAA provisional time of 4:50.34. Asia Diaz (4:52.29) and Lillian Badaru (4:45.14) placed fourth and fifth, respectively.
Tori Smith set a new school record in the 55M hurdles. She won the race with a time of 7.85. Sandra Iwunze finished in second place with an 8.01.
In his first action of the season, junior Julius Walker won the men's 55M with a time of 6.38.
Freshman Markus Henderson ran a winning time of 21.46 in the 200M.
Harrison Benjamin won the men's shot with a throw of 57'-00.25", while Tyler Menges threw 52'-4" placing third. Patience Knight threw a NCAA provisional mark of 54'-4.75" to win the women's shot put and D'Andra Carter placed third with a toss of 49'-5.75".
Darrell Roddick jumped 6'-10.25" in the men's high jump to place second. Roddick won the men's long jump with a jump of 23'-6.25". Lady Raider Janell Appelhans jumped 17'-11" in the women's long jump to place second.
Ozie Okolie won the women's weight throw with a throw of 59'-11.25".
The Lady Raiders finished with the top-two spots in the 600M. Iwunze won the event running a 1:26.07, while Shannon Jackson placed second with a time of 1:26.31.
Senior Christiana Graham finished the 1000M in second place with a time of 3:09.17. The men placed four runners in the top five of the 1000M. Freshman Zach Dawson ran a time of 2:25.89 to finish second. Silas Kemboi recorded a time of 2:27.96 for third place. Cory Higgins (2:28.04) and Nathan Milles (2:28.40) placed fourth and fifth, respectively.
Tech had two men finish in the top six of the 3,000M, as Aaron Greer crossed the line in second with a 9:05.80 and David Boston placed fourth with a 9:32.21. The Lady Raiders placed two in the top five of the women's 3,000M. Kacie Westervelt ran a 10:40.52 placing second and Katherine Priebe finished fourth with a time of 10:42.60.
The men's distance medley relay of Logan Culotta, Dawson, Milles and Higgins won the race with a time of 10:27.89. The women's DMR of Brintney Green, Gladys Kipsang, Tori Epperson and Addison LeMaster finished second with 12:54.53.
Tech returns to action next week as it sends student-athletes to the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., or the Texas A&M Invitational in College Station, Texas.

What is a bed sore and how does it form?
A bed sore is also called a pressure sore. Pressure sores occur when a person sits or lays in the same position for too long of periods causing a sore.
When a person is healthy and has mobility he/she repositions their self when ever their body senses that there is too much pressure on a particular body part (butt, side, back, knee, elbow, etc.).
When a person is sick or unable to move for some reason such as old age, over-weight, illness, sedated with medication or coma the pressure builds up in certain areas and blood flow stops, the area reddens and over-time the skin breaks down making an open sore.
How can you prevent getting bed sores?
If you are taking care of a person who has limited mobility you need to help the person change positions every two hours.
If they are lying in bed turn them from one side to the other or onto their back.
If they are in a chair move them to the bed or try to reposition in the chair but this is really hard and their buttock can get pressure sores very easily if left in a chair for long periods of time.
The main thing to remember is to re-position the person every two hours to help them from getting bed sores.
What is the treatment for bed sores?
After a bed sore has formed keep pressure off of the area and continue to re-position the person. Seek medical help immediately depending on the physician he/she will prescribe some sort of soothing ointment that heals the torn skin, if left untreated the person could die.

In her first all-around attempt since the 2012 NCAA Championships, Peszek won the all-around with a score of 39.65 in a tri-meet against No. 6 Utah and No. 7 Michigan. Peszek scored three 9.925s (vault, beam and floor) and a 9.875 (bars) to record UCLA's highest all-around mark of the year and lead UCLA to its second-highest team total of the season (197.475) and its highest vault total (49.475). Peszek had been limited to bars and beam for most of the season due to a stress reaction in her heel and performed her first floor exercise routine of the season, scoring 9.925. She also tied her season-best on vault with a 9.925 to earn one of two Top 3 event finishes.
The play of the week was made by UCLA Softball's Maurice, who reached over the center field fence to rob Michigan's Sierra Lawrence of a two-run home run in the third inning.

An Evening with Adele is the first concert tour by the British singer-songwriter Adele, in support of her debut album, 19. The tour was unusual in that it included very few dates in the United Kingdom, Adele's home and the territory where 19 was most successful (the only UK dates on the tour were music festival appearances). Instead, the tour focused on North America with the tour beginning and ending in the United States. Adele and the tour gained some notoriety when she cancelled tour dates in 2008 in order to spend time with her boyfriend, an incident she later expressed regret over. The last performance on the tour took place at the historic Hollywood Bowl. Etta James was supposed to appear at the performance but cancelled at the last-minute due to illness and was replaced by Chaka Khan. An official tour book containing exclusive pictures and behind-the-scene information of the tour is available for purchase on Adele's official site.
Adele's 31 January show in Los Angeles was supposed to take place at the Avalon Ballroom but sold out quickly and had to upgraded to the Wiltern Theatre. Adele's performance at the iTunes Festival was released as an EP under the title iTunes Live from SoHo.

In this post, we continue with the sermon preached by Benjamin Morgan Palmer (1818-1902), at the first General Assembly of the newly formed, Presbyterian Church of the Confederate States of America, December 4, 1861, Augusta, Georgia. Before we resume Palmer's sermon, some background to this occasion is called for.
Less than five weeks after the bombardment of Fort Sumter, and the start of America's civil war, the old school Presbyterian Church which included Presbyteries both North and South, met up in a General Assembly in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On the third day of the session, Dr. Gardiner Spring, of New York City, made a motion to resolve that the Presbyterian Church commits to the Federal cause of so called "preserving the union." Many national eyes were on this influential assembly to see where political affections and alliances would prevail. After five days of deliberation, the "spring resolutions" were adopted that "pledged allegiance" to the Federal government. The Southern Commissioners to the assembly promptly withdrew and decided to form their own high court, siding with the Confederacy.
Notice that Palmer's initial sermon inaugurating the Confederate Presbyterian Church was taken from the book of Ephesians chapter one verses 22 and 23, "And gave Him to be head over all things to the church; which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all." Palmer highlights in this sermon, the exaltation of Christ by covering every aspect of the Christ from his deity and humanity, his work as redeemer and his ascendancy to the throne at the right hand of God the Father. The burden of his sermon is summed up later in the homily as he famously states,
"Do we understand, Fathers and Brethren, the mission of the Church given here to execute? It is to lift throughout the world our testimony for this headship of Christ. The convocation of this Assembly is in part that testimony. But a little while since, it was attempted in the most august court of our Church to place the crown of the Lord upon the head of Caesar – to bind that body, which is Christ's fullness, to the chariot in which that Caesar rides (Palmer is referring here to the Gardiner Spring Resolution mentioned earlier in this article). The intervening months have sufficiently discovered the character of that State, under whose yoke this Church was summoned to bow her neck in meek obedience. But in advance of these disclosures, the voice went up throughout our land of indignant remonstrance against the usurpation, of solemn protest against the sacrilege. And now this Parliament of the Lord's freemen solemnly declares that, by the terms of her great charter, none but Jesus may be King in Zion. Once more in this distant age and in these ends of the earth, the Church must declare for the supremacy of her Head, and fling out the consecrated ensign with the old inscription, "for Christ and his crown."
"I. That all the perfections of God are indispensable to the fulfillment of this amazing trust. Recurring to the passages already quoted, this headship clearly includes universal conservation and rule. The whole administration of Providence and law over matter and over mind is delegated to the Head; who cannot therefore, be a mere creature, lacking the first attributes necessary to the execution of his task. Suppose the universe of matter to be created; yet it is throughout, from the atom to the mass, senseless and inert. The mechanical forces pent up within its gigantic frame slumber in a repose so deep as that of death, until evoked and put in play by the operative will of the Great Designer; and the constant pressure of the same external will is the secret power by which the wheels and pistons of the blind matching are driven.
"Proudly as science may descant upon the laws of nature which it is her providence to explore, they are at last but the formulas into which our knowledge, drawn from extended observation, is generalized. It were sad if reason should be deceived by the pompous phraseology, which often serves but as the cover for that ignorance it is too proud to confess. These physical laws are but records of facts inductively classified, not producing causes to which facts owe existence. They are only statements of the modes through which Nature is seen to work, and not eh secret power to which that working is due. Providence stands over against creation thus as its correlate; precisely the same energy being required in the continuing, which was first put forth in the producing. The agent, then to whom this administration of Providence is assigned, must possess the attributes of God. His influential presence must pervade all nature, upholding its separate parts, balancing its discordant forces, adjusting in exact proportions its constituent elements, reconstructing it amidst constant change – its omnipotent and supporting Head.
"The same is true in the domain of the mind. Myriads of beings, for example, have pressed this globe, each of whom has a history of his own, and each history a separate thread in the great web of Providence The slenderest of them may not be drawn without a rent in the general tissue. The tiniest babe, that wakes but for a moment to an infant's joy, and them closes its eyes in sleep forever, was born for a purpose, though born but to die. But see these countless units as they are massed together in society, compacted into States, and living under government and law. What complications are here, to be mastered by Him, who is placed as head over all! Alas! The best statesmanship of earth break down in the management even of its subdivided trusts. Contingencies is had not the wisdom to forsee, and too stubborn for control, brings its counsels to naught; and the web so patiently woven by day, is unraveled in the night;. What creature, then, may aspire to the premiership of the universe? As the thought ranges upward from the earth through the grand hierarchy of the skies, who among the creatures can take the scale of such an empire, grasp the law which angels and seraphim obey, weave the destinies of all into one historic conclusion, and draw it up finished and entire before the Judgment Throne? Just here, then, in the attributes of his Godhead, we discern the competency of Christ to be the Head over all things; equal to the statesmanship of the universe, in the perfect administration of a perfect law.
"Thus far we have pressed up to the divinity of Christ, but not his personal distinction in the Godhead as the only begotten of the Father. I remark then, 2. That this agency is suitably assigned to him as the middle person of the adorable Trinity, by whose immediate efficiency all things were created. We may not too curiously pry into the mystery of this plural subsistence in the Godhead, revealed to us as the object of faith rather than as the subject of speculation. Unquestionably, God is infinitely blessed and glorious in the ineffable fellowship of these persons as well as in the unity of his being. But as these personal distinctions have their ground in that singleness of nature, they must equally concur in all the external operations of the Deity; and so the Scriptures variously ascribe the works of creation, providence and grace to each respectively. In this there is no contradiction; since that are assigned comprehensively to all in their unity, and distributively to each in their separateness. However unable we may be to trace the grounds of that distribution, they must be found in the reciprocal relations of those persons in the mystery of the Godhead. Certainly the Scriptures, however that may generally refer the work of creation to God absolute, as clearly assert the special intervention of the second person as its immediate author. John in the opening of his Gospel, declares with emphasis of the Word that 'all things were made by him, and without him was not anything made.' John 1:3 Paul, speaking of the Son of God 'hath appointed heir of all things,' adds, 'by whom he also made the world.' Heb. 1:2. And in Colossians, 'by him were all things created that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were create by him and for him – and he is before all things, and by him all things consist.' Col. 1:16,17. If then in the out working of this almighty plan, the control and government of all created things should be delegated to an agent who must possess the attributes of the Almighty, which of the sacred three may occupy this trust more suitably that He who in the economy of the Godhead executively and directly brought all things into being? Who shall more perfectly grasp the design of creation than He who articulately wrought it out in all its parts ? Who shall better gather up all things unto himself as the center and the head, and administer that Providence which is but the continuation of the creative energy which he first put forth?
"Unsearchable as the mystery of God's doubtless is, three facts are certainly revealed to us the unity of Divine essence, a threefold distinction of persons in the same, and a certain order between them by which the second is from the first; not posterior in time, but second in the sequence of thought. It would seem to be a consequence of this personal characteristic of the Son, as being from the Father, that the total revelation of God, whether by word or work, should be through him. Thus the ground may exist in the eternal relationship of these persons for referring the works of creation, providence and grace, distributively to the first in the way of final authority, and to the second in the way of executive production. The Father who is before all, shall hold in his august keeping, the eternal thought which drafts the mighty plan. The Son, by virtue of his personal distinction as from the Father, shall produce the thought, lifting it up from the abyss of the infinite mind and revealing it to the creatures. Thus the Son is also the Word; the one title being descriptive of his personal relation in the Godhead, and the other of his office as the revealer flowing from the same. Hence Christ says: 'No man hath seen the Father, save He which is of God; he hath seen the Father.' John 6:46. And again the evangelist John affirms, 'no man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.' John 1:18. In like manner, as the Son is from the Father, so in turn the Holy Spirit is from them both; and he who holds the middle place in this sacred triplet looks upon the first for those archetypal thoughts which he shall render into concrete facts, and them upon the third whose concurrent agency shall breathe life and order and beauty into the works of his hands. As therefore in Christ's divinity we discover the resources, so again of this universal Headship."
Palmer, in the spirit of the Scottish Covenanters, exalts Christ as head of all things; not fallen men and their fallen politics. Part three of this installment to follow shortly.

Martin Chuzzlewit (Chapter III), page 17. [Mr. Pecksniff visits the elderly invalid at the Blue Dragon.] 10.8 cm x 13.7 cm. Scanned image and text by Philip V. Allingham. [You may use this image without prior permission for any scholarly or educational purpose as long as you (1) credit the person who scanned the image and (2) link your document to this URL.](1870s) Illustration by Fred Barnard for Dickens's
The moment realized sets up readers' expectations as the illustrator reveals what will happen over the page. This scene in old Martin's sick-chamber is comparable to Phiz's second plate for the first monthly number, "Martin Chuzzlewit suspects the landlady without any reason." The chamber's lone candle realistically casts the shadows of Barnard's figures on the wall- paper, and establishes continuity with the text (old Martin's burning of yet another will) and Phiz's plate. In fact, Barnard seems to be inviting comparison with Phiz here since he has selected a similar but not identical subject. In each illustrator's narrative-pictorial sequence these plates begin what Michael Steig has termed "old Martin's progress" (Dickens Studies Annual 2: 126). In the original serial illustration a paranoid, aged miser complete with patriarchal skullcap (which Phiz possibly intended to evoke the Old Testament story of Isaac's choice of heirs, Esau and Jacob) is in self-isolation imposed by his wealth. As the head of a greedy clan, he has reason to be suspicious. However, whereas in Phiz's plate he had accused the kind-hearted publican without reason, in Barnard's he exercises reasonable caution in suspecting the motives of the loquacious newcomer who proclaims himself in sermonical tones a purely disinterested "friend."
The Chuzzlewit "curse" under which old Martin feels himself labouring implies a simple, superstitious nature in his interview with Mrs. Lupin she counsels is only the operation of "sick fancies." Several pages later, when we have learned how his fortune has brought nothing by familial dissention, his aggressive demeanour seems fully justified, especially since we have already judged Pecksniff a posturing, pompous hypocrite. In addition to maintaining continuity through old Martin's posture and attitude (despite the absence of the skullcap), Barnard has chosen to furnish the apartment exactly after Phiz's manner, with a small, round table at the bedside, the rumpled bedclothes, and the abundant draperies of the bed-curtains. However, whereas Phiz had employed the drapery to suggest the old man's closeness to Mary Graham and his tendency to exclude others from his confidence, in Barnard's plate the pillar of rectitude and platitudinous sentiment has replaced the curtains, which Barnard has re-positioned to the extreme right as a frame to complement the chair and Pecksniffian shadow at the extreme left. Whereas Phiz has drawn the viewer's eye right of centre, to the heads of old Martin and young Mary, in order to convey their sympathetic understanding, Barnard has shifted the mood from watchful suspicion to character comedy as Pecksniff performs his serio-comic monologue for an audience of one. As the left hand, gesturing, and the right hand, stagily displaying the oversized handkerchief, a theatrical property long before vaudeville, suggest, Pecksniff is always acting a part. He is as comic a tragedian as Wopsle will later prove to be whether in the Gargerys' parlour or on the London stage in Great Expectations (1861).
Curiously, the Household Edition has positioned this third Barnard plate prior to the moment realized by the second plate, leaving the reader to wonder when the text realized by the third plate will occur.

A college professor and mentor of mine once told me that during an injury evaluation if you listen just long enough your patient will tell you exactly what is wrong with them; and, if you listen just a little bit longer they'll also tell you exactly what makes them better.
No need for special tests off the start, just listen and let them talk.
It's become too easy to interrupt our patients during an injury history, because, well, we know exactly what's wrong with them. No need to listen to their sob story – just order the MRI, X-ray or other diagnostic test and let's keep moving.
"A well-known study of medical education found that medical students' interpersonal skills with patients declined as their medical education progressed (Helfer, 1970). This was particularly true for the student's ability to take a good social history. It seems that as students learned more about the science of medicine they found it harder simply to talk with patients, and came to devalue this kind of activity. What were easy exchanges during the first years became an awkward and unproductive series of closed-ended, usually yes-no, questions later on. No doubt related to this narrowing of focus, Martin et al. (1976) found that as training progressed, physicians seemed increasingly to lose their grasp on the patient's total health picture and to focus more and more on biomedical issues.
Although the improvement of physicians' skills in interviewing is valuable, skill does not go to the heart of the matter. Medical school needs to do a better job of inculcating different attitudes in young doctors - in defining for them what is truly important about being a doctor and what are effective, and humane, doctor-patient roles. Our society must figure out how to influence their attitudes so that they come to value certain aspects of patient care differently. Then, of course, when these doctors become mentors themselves, they will provide a different kind of example to their students. If physicians saw themselves more as patient educators, medical education would be different, and the profession would engage in a different kind of self-scrutiny. More attention would be paid to the education of patients, which would translate into more sensitive involvement of doctors in the process of healing." (p.18-19)

The challenge then for us as health care providers is to put away the blackberry for a moment and get back to the lost art of patient talk.
Get back to real patient interaction and patient centered care – which places the patient as the center of focus and not our schedule or outside responsibilities.
Of course, ordering an x-ray just to be sure and sending the patient on their way is a lot easier then sitting down and talking with them.

"Almost all the master coaches I met followed Wooden's rule. They wanted to know about each student so they could customize their communications to fit the larger patterns in a student's life."
Famed football coach and quarterback specialist, Tom Martinez, has a vivid metaphor for this process.
"The way I look at it, everybody's life is a bowl of whipped cream and shit, and my job is to even things out," he said. "If a kid's got a lot of shit in his life, I'm going to stir in some whipped cream. If a kid's life is pure whipped cream, then I'm going to stir in some shit."
(Excerpt from, The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle)
Looking at some of Tom's successes it's clear his recipe might just be working.
A good friend from Australia sent me this clip about workplace motivation. Besides the awesome animation, it's just under 11 minutes and worth every second of it.
It may surprise you that monetary incentives are not the lead motivator in the workplace, but instead the three factors that lead to better performance and personal satisfaction are:
Autonomy: desire to be self directed. Mastery: our urge to become better. Purpose: When profit motive becomes unmoored from purpose motive bad things happen (bad customer service, crappy products, etc).
How does this change your management strategy this week?

While the wet season isn't quite over yet, another winter has passed and the roof on the Glasgow South Side Fire Hall is still suffering damage with more moisture.
The battle to put a roof on the fire hall has been ongoing as several different ideas and issues have arisen over the last few years. At the March 17 city council meeting, the only bid that had come in for the project was from City Councilman Dan Durell. The bid from D.R. Durell Construction came in at $86,287.
Approval for the bid waited until the April 7 meeting as City Attorney Pete Helland looked into the law to be sure t...

Fall Winter Nails 2013-2014 - In winter we tend to use darker colors, according to fashion and what we wear. However, during the last year the trend of decorating nails with small drawings, nail art has entered hard, which means that this year the biggest trend in fashion your nails will look like this.

However much I love the Paris métro — it might surprise you to learn that actually like its smell, a special mix of metal, dust, and rubber — walking remains my favorite means of transportation around the city. It gives me the opportunity to stretch my legs, traverse favorite or unfamiliar neighborhoods, indulge in a little people-watching, and get slightly lost from time to time, which often leads to interesting discoveries.
I usually like to be alone with my thoughts, but when I wish to be entertained as I walk, I take full advantage of the technological wonders of our times and listen to podcasts on my mp3 player. And since I figured I probably wasn't the only one to do so, I thought I would share a few favorites. (If you would like to reciprocate and share yours, the comments section is wide open!)
This weekly show airs on KCRW, an NPR radio station in the Los Angeles area. It is hosted by the gracious Evan Kleiman, restaurant owner and founder of the LA Slow Food convivium, who interviews authors, food experts, and critics. It is a lively and varied show that includes local tidbits (restaurant reviews and such) but has a broad enough scope otherwise to be of interest to listeners outside Southern California.
~ Eat Feed
This one is a "pure" podcast in the sense that it was created directly for the web, and isn't aired on any other medium. Each show is organized around one of four formats (the seasonal, the new and noteworthy, the history of food, and the vocabulary of gastronomy) and the overall approach manages to be both scholarly and engaging — a difficult balance to strike. (Note: Amy, Aun, and I were guests on their most recent show, October Rumblings, and this is how the idea for this post came about.)
~ Table à découvert (in French)
Join Caroline Mignot, a French food writer and restaurant reviewer who's just as charming in real life as her voice would have you believe, as she visits Parisian restaurants with a hidden microphone. Her audio vignettes are short and crisp, her words clear and evocative, and if I was trying to improve my French comprehension skills, I would be happy to turn to her recordings.
~ Goûts de luxe and In Vino BFM (in French)
I am an enthusiastic listener of BFM, a French radio station that offers news and discussions on politics and economy. The interviews and debates are thought-provoking, the hosts smart and forward-thinking, and when I feel deeply discouraged about the state of this otherwise beautiful country, BFM is what helps me put the ladder and the rope back in the shed. But I digress; what I really wanted to mention was two of the weekend shows. The first one, Goûts de luxe, talks about all things upscale and luxurious: each show revolves around a timely theme, sometimes food-related and sometimes not, but whether the hosts talk about fine dining, spas, haute couture, or palaces, the tone is spirited and entertaining, with a good dose of irony. As for In Vino BFM, it focuses on wine and vintners, with segments on the history, regionality, and characteristics of different wines. Never snobbish, always accessible, it is a very good show to learn from.
The final podcast in this selection isn't about food, but I enjoy it and I'm sure many of you will, too. Grace is the author of the awe-inspiring blog design*sponge, in which she features beautiful things that one doesn't really need, but that one can still gape at and lust over for hours on end (don't say I didn't warn you). Every few weeks she interviews her favorite designers and artists, and you can hear about their work, their vision, and their aspirations on her podcast.

I cannot believe I haven't updated my readers on my bog jacket in almost a year! And it's very hard to believe (well, if you know me, not really) that I'm still not finished with it! In my defense, I had to order more yarn. Okay, it's not much of a defense, but it's something, right?
So I am happy to report - I have finished ONE sleeve! Yes, just one, but out of two, that's 50% complete! It took me awhile to get the main part of the sleeve finished to were I could break off and begin working on one and not both. Remember, there are over 300 stitches on these needles! One pass takes roughly 20-30 minutes for me. Now, the sleeve part only took half that time so I finished it in a few days. So the next part is to finish the other sleeve which I will begin next week.
Please check out my slideshow so you can see everything I've accomplished. I'm not proud to say I began this in August 2010, but I did and that's my story! But I am determined to complete it in 2014 so I can wear it next winter. I'm not sure if I can get it finished by the springtime, but it would be nice if I did.
Here's my checklist of what is left: the second sleeve, the collar, pulling out the sleeve thread and weaving both sleeves, the I-cord for the jacket closure, lining the jacket and installing a zipper. And as we are looking at this list, you ask, what have I ticked off? Well, the main body is complete, one sleeve is finished and the neckline is ready to make the collar on. If you do the math (I like math!) I'm roughly 85% finished. Whew! Not much longer and I will be modeling the jacket for you!

College Hockey:This Week in MIAC: Jan. 21, 2010
Weekend Roundup
Coming off the last weekend of non-league games, every team in the MIAC was focused on one thing: conference matchups. With most non-conference action out of the way, the vast majority of games left on the schedule are league games, which will determine the five teams that have a shot to make some noise in the postseason.
Some teams came in fighting to rise in the standings while others were struggling to keep their status as one of the leagues top teams. Some were riding winning streaks while others were coming off bad losses. No matter what each team was coming into the weekend with, when its time for league games, you can throw most of it out the window. This is the real season for most teams in the MIAC, with non-conference games being a chance to test yourself, try new things, and get tuned up for the battle for the playoffs.
The top of the league remains mostly unchanged, with Gustavus Adolphus sitting atop the conference standings. Right behind them though is Hamline, who has played two fewer games than the Gusties. In third place is a team that may be a surprise to some people after their ninth place finish last season: the Concordia Cobbers. Well catch up with them and coach Howe later on.
Bethel fell from second place into a tie for fourth with surging St. Olaf. Sixth place is an unfamiliar spot for St. Thomas, as they currently sit outside the playoff picture. Following them in seventh is an Augsburg team that struggled this past weekend after running off a seven game winning streak. In a tie for the last two spots are St. Johns and St. Marys.
No team is separated by more than two points from the team ahead or behind it, so each weekend provides an opportunity for plenty of movement in the standings. These last five weeks of the regular season are guaranteed to be action packed as teams jostle for position and their playoff lives.
Cobbers Climbing Up the Ladder
Concordia (MN) has had one of the toughest non-conference schedules of any team in the country. Some of their more notable opponents from outside the MIAC include the two winningest teams in the NCHA (St. Norbert and St. Scholastica, ranked fourth and seventh in the USCHO.com Division III poll, respectively), the top team from the MCHA (Adrian, No. 12), and if that wasnt enough, theyve also played the team with the most wins in the MIAC (Hamline, ranked eighth.)
Given that the Cobbers finished last in the MIAC last season, some might have thought that they were taking on more than they can chew.
Concordia head coach Chris Howe has a different perspective on this kind of schedule.
Every game weve played, weve taken something from it, he said. When we play teams like Adrian or St. Norbert, we see what it takes to be that kind of team, and how we need to elevate our play to match it.
The Cobbers are a team that shows up to play hard for 60 minutes every night. They try to play physical, smart, and focus on their defense and special teams. After losing to UW-Stevens Point 7-1 in their last non-conference game, some teams may have been disheartened returning to league games. And when the Cobbers trailed 3-0 to St. Thomas midway through the second period on Friday, it looked like that very well may have happened.
But starting from 12:25 in the second period until 15:01 in the third, the Cobbers ripped off five straight goals to take a 5-3 lead that they would never relinquish.
That was huge, said Howe. Coming off that loss to Stevens Point, and being down early, being able to go on a run like that was a big confidence builder. Im proud of the way the team responded to that situation.
Sophomore forward Jared Collen scored three goals during that five goal outburst, including the tally that gave the Cobbers the lead and well as the game-winning goal.
This is a team thats primarily made up of freshmen and sophomores, with their top seven scorers being underclassmen. The leadership from the teams three seniors is not to be overlooked, though.
Each one of those seniors brings something to this team that will be missed when theyre gone, Howe said. Whether its leadership, pumping up the team, or keeping us focused, each one of them brings something that helps us as a team.
After Fridays emotional comeback win, the Cobbers faced St. Thomas a second time on Saturday. They never held a lead in the game, but were never out of it either. Concordia battled back from 2-0 and 3-1 deficits before netting the tying goal in the dying seconds of the third period.
While he didnt score a single goal on the weekend, sophomore defenseman Erick Galt was a big key to the Cobbers success. On Friday he had two assists, getting a helper on Concordias first goal, as well as the one that gave them the lead. On Saturday he did even better, getting assists on Concordias first two goals, as well as the one that tied the game.
Hes one of the most unselfish players on the team, said Howe. If he could give his assists to his teammates, he would. All he cares about is doing what he can to help us win.
Another key to the Cobbers success so far has been goaltender Jacob Vatnsdal — also a sophomore. His overall numbers are solid — a 3.07 goals against average and .907 save percentage — but he has stepped it up a notch in conference games, posting a stat line of 2.53 and .917. After last years four win season, Vatnsdal has backed the Cobbers to a 3-2-3 MIAC record and four wins overall, with still around half the season left to play.
This isnt a team thats built around a top line that provides all the scoring; instead they are built on hard work, defense, and special teams.
Last season, the Cobbers finished dead last in league power play and seventh on the penalty kill. Those two combined to give Concordia the leagues worst overall special teams. This season, though, the Cobbers are in the top half of the league in both categories. They rank fourth in power play percentage and fifth overall on the penalty kill. Combined, they have the leagues second best special teams.
Their biggest improvement — up seven percent from last year — has been while down a man on the penalty kill. This means that if someone takes a penalty playing physically, the team knows they have a good shot to go out and kill it off. Their penalty kill could be tested this coming weekend, as they face Augsburg who is armed with the leagues second best power play.
With Augsburg coming up this weekend, weve put some extra emphasis on defense and the penalty kill, said Howe. Theyre a very talented team offensively, and if you make a mistake, they can make you pay.
On top of returning most of last years potent offense, the Auggies have also improved their defense immensely this season, giving up one goal fewer per game.
With Augsburg sitting in seventh place and three points out of the final playoff spot, this is a huge weekend from them. If Concordia can take three or four points, it will be very difficult for the Auggies to climb back into the playoff picture, but if Augsburg manages at least a win and a tie, theyll be breathing right down Concordias neck in the standings.
After facing Augsburg at home for two games, the schedule turns even rougher for Concordia. Their final six games are all on the road, and the last two weekends pit them against the current top two teams in the MIAC: Gustavus Adolphus and Hamline.
This is the time of the year where their difficult non-conference schedule could pay dividends, as squads have seen what it takes to be a top team. Now they have the chance to show that they can play at that level as well, as they fight to ke

Mission accomplished Squire was a Mormon missionary, which turned out to be a great training ground for comedy. "The one aspect of that I liked a lot was public speaking. I liked the challenge of making a very weird religion into something entertaining. I tried to make it fun and make it funny for people."
Of course, you can have too much fun Squire detailed the funny business that got him in trouble with his church on his blog at billsquire.com. (Long story short: It involved a strip club and hooking up with girls.) "I got excommunicated from the church and sent home," says Squire, who tried standup for the first time a month later at a bar in Medina.
Yes, he's outrageous. Yes, you'll laugh "I say some things [in my act] that every time I say them, I think people are going to lynch me. Then, they're like, 'Hey, that's funny,' and I'm like, All right! I thought so, too."
The appeal of comedy "Being funny with just a microphone always seemed like something I could achieve. I like how it's all on me. ... I love [sketch] comedy, I just don't have the patience or desire to deal with people that much. I like to show up at a gig, walk on stage and start saying my thoughts.
Advice for fledgling comics Don't fill the audience with people you know. "I wasn't good at first — nobody is. A lot of times people will do their first show in front of a lot of friends and family and get a false sense of confidence."

While Alexander was sieging Tyre Darius send him a messager with a proposal: Alexander would get all the land west of the Eufrate, 10000 talents, and the hand of Darius' daughter, but in return Darius' family had to be reunited, and a permanent alliance between both empires should be signed. Alexander rejected the proposal as everything that Darius offered was in his reach anyway, and he could marry Darius' daughter with or without the approval of her father he said.
Tyre fell in the hands of Alexander and he continued his journey southwards. Before he could enter Egypt he had to deal with another coastal city called Gaza. Just like Tyre was this city extremely well defended, and just like Tyre it refused to let Alexander in the city. The city was placed on a high rock, and attacking it was almost equal to suicide, but for Alexander difficulties were only possibilities to prove his invincibility. He attacked and indeed took the city. All male citizens were killed while the women and children were made slaves. Again Alexander had shown that he was invincible, but also that he can be ruthless if needed.
The stories of Alexanders victories had of course reached Egypt, as well as the rest of the known world, and the Persian satrap in Egypt wisely decided that trying to stop Alexander would be useless. The Persian satrap simply did not have enough men to form an adequate army, so he did not resist the combined Greek-Macedonian invasion. The Egyptians even welcomed Alexander in their land as they finally would get rid of the hated Persians. Alexander was seen as a liberator and made pharaoh. The Egyptian pharaohs were always seen as Gods, so Alexander even more felt like a God. But what finally convinced him that he was a God was an oracle which called him the son of God.
With the conquest of Egypt Alexander secured the homeland from a Persian naval attack, and now it was time to move to the heart of the Persian empire. He moved through Syria, crossed the Eufrate and Tigris and met the Persian army at the other side of Mesopotamia: in the plains of Gaugamela near the city Arbela. For Darius it was now a matter of winning the battle, or his empire would be destroyed by Alexander.
Phase one: attacks of the Persian cavalry.
Darius had once again proved that he was an excellent organiser. The size and diversity of his army could only be compared to the army of Xerxes during his attack on the mainland of Greece. His men came from all the regions of his vast empire: Scyths, Bactrians, men from numerous small tribes, but also Greek mercenaries. Besides footsoldiers he had chariots, and even 15 war-elephants, but again the biggest part of his army consisted of cavalry. That is why he had ordered his troops to level the battlefield so he could use his cavalry and chariots optimally.
Alexander on his turn had also prepared himself for the battle. He had captured, and interrogated, several Persians and thanks to this information he was able to reconstruct the Persian army. On top of that he sent out several reconaissance missions, and he was even in charge of one of them, to get as much information as possible about the Persian army. Now he knew how Darius was planning to use his forces, and he placed his army in a sloped formation. A big part of the phalanx was positioned behind the first phalanx as reserves. As a result he did not have enough man to form a strong left wing. It was the job of the cavalry to secure this wing.
The Persian army used a completly different formation: the whole army formed one straight line, with in the center the chariots moved a little ahead of the rest, with archers to back them up. Darius wanted to attack the right wing of Alexanders army because there were the most experienced forces. If he could defeat them, the Macedonian-Greek army would surely fall apart and be an easy target he thought. He sent more and more cavalry to his left wing to increase his superior power in that area even more. Alexander saw the danger and knew that he had to do something. He could use his reserve phalanx, but he rather kept them ready to fill up gaps in his formation. Instead he moved his whole army towards the Persian left wing.
Both armies could have continued this for a while, but then they would leave the area which was leveled by Darius for his cavalry. The moment had come to attack and he ordered Bessos to attack with the left wing. Thousands and thousands horsemen charged forwards where they crashed into the right wing of Alexander which consisted of light and heavy cavalry, supported by light forces and archers. Alexanders right wing, under the command of Ariston, had a difficult time in the beginning and was not able to hold position, until a part of the reserve phalanx moved forwards and joined the battle.
Phase two: the Macedonian formation breaks.
The attack of Bessos on the Greek-Macedonian right wing had created a weak spot in the Persian formation. His cavalry had moved forward for the attack, and the Persian phalanx had to stretch out a bit to keep in contact with the charging cavalry. Alexander was lucky that he had placed his elite heavy cavalry just in front of this spot. He charged forward and ordered his phalanx to attack at the same time. Darius saw that Bessos is not making any progress, and ordered his complete right wing, under the command of Mazaeus, to attack in the hope of overwhelming Alexander with his numeric advantage.
A part of the Indian and Persian heavy cavalry spots this gap, and manages to move through it to the heart of the Greek-Macedonian army: the baggage. They kill the guards and liberate many Persian prisoners of war before the reserve phalanx stops their attack with the help of the light footsoldiers. This Persian attack is stopped, but the gap in the formation still exists and Parmenio is having difficulties keeping the left wing together. He sents a messager after Alexander who immedeatly stops his pursue of the Persians and turns around.
Alexander wants to move towards the center of the Persian army and attacks it in the back with his cavalry, but he crashes into the retreating Persian cavalry who had attacked the baggage of Alexanders army several minutes before. This way Alexander can not complete his manouevre, and Parmenio must wait a little longer before reinforcements will decrease the pressure on the left wing some. Then the chances suddenly change: Parmenio not only manages to stop the attack of the Persian cavalry, he even manages to push them back with his Thessalian cavalry! The Persians start to retreat in this area of the battlefield, and Alexander can move closer to the center. Darius feels threatened with Alexander and his elite forces so close to him, and decides to flee as fast as he can. The same situation as during the battle of Issus occurs: the remainder of the Persian army (this time the left wing) hears that Darius is leaving the battlefield, and decides to do the same.
The results of the battle.
At the moment of Darius' departure was the battle far from decided. Alexander might have forced an important break-through with his heavy cavalry, but just like at Issus left Darius way to early. His left wing and center were still intact, and both parties would have had most likely equal chances if he could close the gap in the left of the center, and assemble his right wing again. The results of the battles of Issus and Gaugamela might have been completly different if the Persians had a more determined high king.
Now the way to the heart of the Persian empire was open for Alexander and important cities like Susa, Babylon, and Perspepolis were conquered by him one after the other. Darius became a fugitive in his own country, and was eventually killed in one of the northern provinces by one of his own officers. Alexander declared himself high king of Persia, and executioned the murdered of Darius according to Persian laws. He had quickly conquered the central provinces, but the eastern provinces in the mountains were much harder. After three years of warfare he finally managed to subject them to his leadership.
The next years Alexanders problems were more of a political than a militaristic nature. As high king of Persia he had despotic power, and slowly he evolved into a despotic and tyranic person. He executioned the son of Parmenius as he suspected him of treachery, and he also killed Parmenius as he was afraid for revenge. On top of this he realised that he could not keep such an enormous empire together if he would not have a good relationship with its inhabitants. He started to dress and act more and more like a Persian in the hope of establishing this relationship, but the result was that he alienated himself from the Greeks and Macedonians.
Finally Alexander moved eastwards and invaded India in 326 BC. Maybe he could not stop his hunger for more conquests, or maybe he wanted to increase his prestige as political leader by more military victories. In India he gained many more victories, but when he had crossed through the Punjab his army revolted for the first and the last time: they refused to move any further to the east and wanted to go home. He turned around, and the last part of his expedition through India was more like an exploration. In 324 he arrived in Susa again, and started to make new plans. He wanted to conquer the areas dominated by Carthage, stop the growing power of Rome, and finally conquer the Arabian peninsula. If he would have achieved this he would have conquered the whole known world. Alexander died in 323 because of a fever.

New Orleans guitar virtuoso Jimmy Robinson has been touring up a storm, up and down the country this summer. He just wrapped up two shows in L.A., and hits the U.S. Mint Theater with the amazing cellist Helen Gillet August 23 before spreading the love around in the rest of the South. But first, he's reuniting with his Twangorama bandmate, fellow virtuoso Cranston Clements and Clements' twin sons, bassist Austin and drummer Tyler, for another rousing gig at New Orleans' Carrollton Station this Saturday night.
Lucky Louisiana residents can come on down to the nearby haunts to check out Robinson and Clements — masters of their trade and star-crossed sidemen — doing their thing almost every other day. Not so long ago, they and some of their Twangorama cohorts took command of the New Orleans Jazzfest, April 27, for a guitar bonanza that was talked about for weeks and weeks. Founded by Robinson in the 1990s, Twangorama usually consists of a five-man crew of gnarly technicians who know how to turn up the heat on electric guitar, taking audiences on a mood-coasting safari.
For the 9 p.m.-midnight set, the veterans bring back the young guns to help them level the playing field with some fresh takes on some intricate, complex music from the Twang catalog, and some tracks from Robinson's other band, Woodenhead. Austin and Tyler Clements will also crank out their own stuff, as well as their old man's.
Austin and Tyler Clements, 20, followed in their father's footsteps in many ways. Not only have they joined up with some forward-thinking local musicians, like fellow New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts alum Omari Neville (Rejected Youth Nation), they've got their own jazz-funk fusion band, the Clement Brothers Part Deux, with another NOCCA grad, guitarist Benjamin Greenberg, from the University of North Texas.
The House of Clements has previously played the Carrollton Station with much success. It's been Clements and Robinson's pleasure to watch these young men grow in musicianship. Their influences match the veterans' style, a mix of Weather Report and Allan Holdsworth, jazz fusion and rock, acoustic and electric magic.
Come meet the new generation of emotive shredders. The Carrollton Station is located on 8140 Willow St. in New Orleans. Call (504) 865-9190.

Given the option of taking their classes to the school library to hear President Obama's address as a learning exercise, not a single teacher at Dakota Ridge High School did.
Some 50 students went as individuals to watch the president's address Sept. 8 after principal Jim Jelinek gave them the option of leaving class to attend.
Tens of thousands of people attend the Summerset Festival in Clement Park every year, and over the years more and more canine companions have joined them.
So it might even be fair to say that the 2009 edition of Summerset is going to the dogs. And, with a little luck, a few pups looking for permanent homes will go a long way toward finding new owners.
This year's Fun Day For the Dogs, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, will host 15 to 20 canine rescue groups that will reach out to potential adoption families.
It's not always a sign of impending cooperation when a law enforcement officer shows up at the local skate park.
But a t Clement Park on Sept. 12, a group of skateboarders, a Jeffco sheriff's deputy and other volunteers gathered to tidy up the park and let everyone know it shouldn't be trashed.
"We wanted to make a difference at the skate park," said 16-year-old Nick Bruso, a local skateboarder who spends a lot of time at the park skating and filming his friends. "This is like our home."
It may only be September, but David Kozak is looking to assemble a few good Christmas stockings.
And the aspiring Eagle Scout knows exactly whose holidays he wants to make bright.
"U.S. Marines," he said. "They're pretty elite, and they're overseas fighting so we can live in freedom back here. They deserve a Christmas more than anyone else, and they're not getting one."
Lori Young, in her 11th year teaching math at Columbine High School, has received several awards over the course of her career.
Young has been honored with a teacher recognition award from the Boettcher Foundation and was recognized as Columbine's teacher of the year for 2008-09. But Young's latest accolade means a lot, because it comes from her peers.

Republican Mike Kopp will seek a second term representing South Jeffco in the Colorado Senate, citing the need to continue to press for an array of state reforms.
Kopp, of Ken Caryl, is hosting a campaign kickoff event from 4 to 6 p.m. Sept. 12 at Clement Park.
"I'm a reform guy," Kopp said. "I follow the reform leadership model, and I assume that less and more nimble government is a better form of government, and there's a lot of work to be done in that area."
A large dinosaur is sitting in a cornfield at the Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield.
In fact, it's an 8-acre dinosaur, created from more than 28,000 corn plants.
The giant T-rex is this year's theme for the gardens' corn maze, which opened Sept. 4 and is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The twists and turns of the maze take all summer to create.
In just two short weeks, it will have been 10 years since 3-year-old Jaryd Atadero went missing on a hike about 60 miles west of Fort Collins.
Allyn Atadero, the boy's father and a South Jeffco schoolteacher, says his son's memory and Recreational Safety Awareness Week — the second week of September — drives him to help other families avoid the same fate. The week-long observance, in its second year, culminates in a large event at the Denver Aquarium to raise awareness for the Colorado Outdoor Recreation Search and Rescue Card.
Jeffco health officials are setting up a distribution network for the H1N1 flu vaccine, anticipating a large demand for the shots this fall.
"We're planning for a high level of demand for the vaccine," said county health department director Dr. Mark Johnson. "What actually happens, and what the demand actually turns out to be, will depend on how hard the flu hits or the perception of a shortage. We're planning that it's going to be big."

TEMPE, Ariz. – Arizona State University football student-athlete Will Sutton has been named to the Rotary Lombardi Award preliminary watch list, and fellow Sun Devils Carl Bradford and Chris Young have earned spots on the Butkus Award preseason watch list, it was announced Monday.
The Rotary Lombardi Award is given to the nation's most outstanding down lineman and the Butkus Award honors the nation's most outstanding linebacker.
This marks the fifth 2013 preseason award watch list Sutton has been selected to, the third for Bradford and the first for Young.
A total of nine different Sun Devils, including five on offense and four on defense, have earned nods on 10 different preseason award watch lists this summer.
The defensive trio of Bradford, Sutton and Young paved the way for a 2012 Sun Devil defense that led the nation with nine tackles for loss per game and ranked second in the nation with four sacks per contest.
The team's 52 sacks tied for the second most in school history and its 117 tackles for loss also tied for the second most in ASU annals.
Young was the team's third-leading tackler with 82 and was also third on the team with 14 tackles for loss. He started all 13 games in 2012 and recorded double-digit tackles in three games.
Sutton, who became ASU's 18th Consensus All-American in 2012, posted 63 tackles, including 23.5 for loss and 13 sacks this past season. He was also the recipient of the Pac-12 Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year award and the prestigious Morris Trophy, as well as the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl Defensive MVP. He finished his junior year ranked second in the nation in 1.92 tackles for loss per game and third nationally with 1.08 sacks per game.
Sutton also served as the official starter for the 9th Annual Pat's Run Kids Run this past April and was named a finalist for the Outstanding Student-Athlete NCAA award.
Bradford ranked second on the team with 11.5 sacks and 20.5 tackles for loss en route to 81 total tackles, and also tied for the team lead with three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Bradford's 1.58 tackles for loss per game ranked 11th in the nation in 2012 and second in the Pac-12 behind Sutton.
Bradford and Sutton combined for 44 tackles for loss in 2012, the most in ASU history, and they became the first pair of Sun Devils to record 20+ TFLs since Al Harris (22) and Bob Kohrs (20) in 1978, as well as post double digits in sacks in the same season since 1994.

When Ben Dilley was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 14 years old, he never could have imagined that he'd one day end up riding in the Tour of Utah - the 22-year-old didn't even begin cycling until a couple years after his diagnosis.
But, when the Tour kicks off in Cedar City on Aug. 4, Dilley will be sporting a Team Novo Nordisk jersey and will be riding as part of a team of riders who all have type 1 diabetes.
However, team founder Phil Southerland said, don't think of Team Novo Nordisk as some sort of novelty - though the team is grateful for the opportunity to compete in the big-name race, the riders want to make some noise, too.
"It's an amazing race, couldn't be more beautiful scenery," Southerland said. "We have hopes to do well."
The team, which was called Team Type 1 when Southerland started it as a part of a class at the University of Georgia in 2005, got a big-name sponsorship a couple years ago.
"In 2012, we were given the opportunity to partner with Novo Nordisk, a Danish pharmaceutical company," Southerland said. "One of their main specialties is diabetes."
But, he added, there were challenges to that partnership.
"That partnership came with the contingency of having a full team comprised of people with diabetes," he said. "It was a major challenge. It's a very limited pool of people out there. It's not like we can write a big check and hire a guy that's been winning a lot of races. We have to find the talent, cultivate the talent and, as we're doing now with our junior camps and development team, create the talent.
That's why it's a big deal for Team Novo Nordisk to ride in the Tour of Utah.
"It's races like this that help funnel our pipeline," Southerland said. "There's going to be some kid in Utah that's going to see our team racing and say, 'Hey, those guys are just like me.'"
That's how guys like Dilley, from Nebraska, and Aaron Perry, from New Zealand, found out about the team.
Perry made a switch from mountain biking to road cycling to join Team Novo Nordisk.
"I found out I was diabetic when I was 16," he said.
Now in the Tour of Utah for the first time, Southerland said the team's mission is to have fun while also promoting a healthy lifestyle.
"We race with a mission to empower, inspire and educate everyone in the world affected by the disease that we live with," he said. "Sport is a platform, but empowerment is really the mission. We're competing in the top races around the world and showing people what may be possible with proper management of the disease."
"It's all about inspiring people and helping to educate," Perry added. "It's awesome to be a part of it now. It's about telling people, 'You can get out there. You can do it.'"
For Dilley, who has family members who also have diabetes, being able to inspire others is a big deal.
"It's being a part of something bigger than just competing and racing your bike," he said. "I have two other siblings with diabetes, so it really hits home for me. It's just that message of inspiration that's really personal to me."
And if they can inspire others to be active, whether or not they have diabetes, that's even better, Southerland said.
"Exercise is one of the most important tools that our athletes have to manage their disease," he said. "It's also important for people without diabetes. We've got to get healthier as a nation, and the bike is a great way to do that."
Another mission of Team Novo Nordisk is adjusting the way diabetes is talked about across the world.
"Unfortunately, a lot of people get told what they cannot do still," Southerland said. "It's really become more of a disease of things you can do, but we have to change the perceptions of people about the disease so that the next kid that gets diagnosed is told the things he can do, not the things he can't do. It's extremely important - life is not worth living if you can't have some self-confidence and belief that you can achieve something."
For fans attending the Tour of Utah, Southerland, Dilley and Perry said the entire Novo Nordisk team loves to chat with fans after races.
"It's fantastic to meet the people," Perry said. "We've got all these people who are looking up to us and following us - running alongside us, even. We're just trying to show them what's doable."
"[Meeting fans] is the highlight," Dilley added. "In cycling, you have your good days and your bad days. Being able to talk with people who also have diabetes is a great connection. That makes my day - getting to talk to fans and people who have been following the team."

Large-scale structure projections are an obstacle in converting the shear signal of clusters detected in weak-lensing maps into virial masses. However, this step is not necessary for constraining cosmology with the shear-peak abundance, if we are able to predict its amplitude. We generate a large ensemble of N-body simulations spanning four cosmological models, with total volume V tot ~ 1(h -1 Gpc)3 per model. Variations to the matter density parameter and amplitude of fluctuations are considered. We measure the abundance of peaks in the mass density projected in ≈100 h -1 Mpc slabs to determine the impact of structures spatially correlated with the simulation clusters, identified by the three-dimensional (3D) friends-of-friends (FoF) algorithm. The halo model shows that the choice of the smoothing filter for the density field is important in reducing the contribution of correlated projections to individual halo masses. Such contributions are less than 2% in the case of the optimal, compensated filter used throughout this analysis. We measure the change in the mass of peaks when projected in slabs of various thicknesses. Peaks in slabs of 26 h -1 Mpc and 102 h -1 Mpc suffer an average mass change of less than 2% compared to their mass in slabs of 51 h -1 Mpc. We then explore the cosmology dependence of the projected-peak mass function, and find that, for a wide range of slab thicknesses (< 500 h -1 Mpc), it scales with cosmology in exactly the same way as the 3D FoF mass function and the Sheth-Tormen (ST) formula. This extends the earlier result of Marian et al. Finally, we show that for all cosmological models considered, the low and intermediate mass bins of the peak abundance can be described using a modified ST functional form to within 10%-20% accuracy.

Unique event to be held at Bandon Dunes Golf Course
TUCSON, Ariz. ?- Fresh off a victory in its last outing, the University of Arizona men's golf team will participate in the 2004 Big Ten/Pac-10 Challenge, Oct. 25-26, at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, Ore.
Seven teams from both conferences make up the 14-team field. Representing the Big Ten Conference will be Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern, Penn State and Purdue, while Arizona, Arizona State, California, Oregon, UCLA, USC and Washington will represent the Pac-10 Conference.
Fifty-four holes of stroke play will be contested over the two days (36 holes Monday/18 Tuesday) with an 8 a.m. PDT shotgun start scheduled each day. There will be a blind draw on Sunday, Oct. 24, to determine playing order. Teams will play in groups of three that will feature either two Big Ten teams and one Pac-10 team or two Pac-10 teams and one Big Ten team.
The low four scores will count towards the team total in each round. This unique event also features a conference challenge in which the lowest six team scores for each conference in each round will be counted toward each league's tally.
This is Arizona's first appearance since Oct. 2 when the Wildcats won the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate in Albuquerque, N.M., with a season-low nine-under 855 total. Three UA players, Henry Liaw (T3rd/209, -7), Nathan Lashley (7th/212, -4) and Travis Esway (T16th/218, +2), all finished in the top-20 places. The probable Arizona lineup will be:
Golfer Yr. Avg. Top 10/20 Low Rd. Events
Henry Liaw So. 72.33 1/0 67 3
Nathan Lashley Sr. 72.17 1/0 66 2
Travis Esway Fr. 70.33 1/1 66 2
Nathan Tyler So. 74.33 0/0 72 3
Nick Juszczak Sr. 74.50 0/0 72 2
Arizona, one of six nationally ranked teams in the field according to the Oct. 1 Golfworld Top 25 Poll, is ranked 13th nationally in both the Golfworld Top 25 and the Precept/GCAA Coaches Poll. The Wildcats are ranked 39th in the current Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index.
The Bandon Dunes Golf Resort's course is a par-72. 6,980-yard layout. The event is hosted by the University of Oregon. Results will be available on-line at www.goducks.com.
