ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) _ Give the ball to Salim Stoudamire and get out of his way. That's what Arizona did Thursday night.
Stoudamire hit an off-balance jumper from the left side with 2.8 seconds left, sending Arizona to a thrilling 79-78 victory over Oklahoma State in the Chicago Regional semifinals and within one win of the Final Four.
When John Lucas' last-ditch attempt went off the rim at the buzzer, the Wildcats had another memorable victory under coach Lute Olson.
Arizona (30-6) will meet top-seeded Illinois on Saturday for a trip to St. Louis. The Illini (34-1) defeated Wisconsin-Milwaukee 77-63 Thursday.
Stoudamire scored 10 of his 19 points in the final 4:35 of the game and the Wildcats shot 66 percent (31-of-47).
Scoreless in the second half until six minutes remained, Stoudamire drove for a basket and then hit two NBA-range 3-pointers to get Arizona within 76-75.
After a defensive stop, Arizona's Channing Frye hit a short jumper, putting the Wildcats ahead 77-76 with a minute to go.
Joey Graham, who led Oklahoma State (26-7) with 26 points, then drove to the middle, lowered his shoulder and dropped in a short shot from the lane to give OSU its last lead at 78-77 with 18.8 seconds left.
After a timeout, Stoudamire waved his hand to clear out the floor and then maneuvered past Daniel Bobik and popped in a jumper from the left side, putting the Wildcats up 79-78 with 2.8 seconds left.
``I knew when it came down to crunch time I was going to step up,'' Stoudamire said. ``I practice that shot everyday. Coach is always on me about going hard, I guess it paid off.''
Arizona had a foul to give, cutting the clock to 1.3 seconds, but the Cowboys still managed to get off a decent shot. But Lucas' attempt from the corner hit the rim, denying coach Eddie Sutton a second straight trip to the Final Four.
``When I let it go, I thought it was going in,'' Lucas said. ``When it hit the back of the rim my heart just dropped. This is my last time wearing an Oklahoma State jersey. It's just a real sad moment.
Olson is now 3-0 against Sutton, his fellow 700-victory club member, but this was their first meeting ever in the NCAA tournament.
Saddled with two early fouls, Stoudamire played just 10 first-half minutes, but when the game seemed to be slipping away, he was there at the end.
Hassan Adams also finished with 19 points and had 10 rebounds for Arizona, and Frye added 15 points and 10 boards.
Graham, who'd scored just 15 points total in his team's first two tournament games, was a different player Thursday night, but it still wasn't enough.
JamesOn Curry and Graham hit back-to-back 3-pointers and the Cowboys overcame an early seven-point second-half deficit to lead 52-51.
But the persistent Adams connected on his third 3-pointer and then followed up his own miss on the second try to put the Wildcats up 59-56, a lead that went to five when Frye hit a short jumper.
Graham hit a pair of 3-pointers and Stephen Graham made a three-point to give the Cowboys a 69-65 lead.
Stoudamire drove for a basket and after a 3-pointer by Curry he answered with one from NBA range, cutting the Cowboys lead to 72-70 with 3:57 left.
Adams scored 10 first-half points, took charge of the Wildcats' offense with Stoudamire on the bench with two fouls and put Arizona up at the break 41-38 by hitting a 3-pointer just before the buzzer.
Arizona shot 70 percent in the first half, making 16 of 23 shots and built an early 10-point lead.
``We take great pride in our defense,'' Sutton said. ``Tonight, they just shot lights out.''
But with Stoudamire off the floor earlier, the Cowboys took off on an 11-3 run, tying the game at 30-30 as Lucas and Ivan McFarlin hit back-to-back three-point plays and then taking a lead on two free throws by Graham.
Stoudamire, who had five 3-pointers and 28 points in second-round victory over UAB, came out firing.
He hit a pair of long-range '3s,' banked in another basket and the Wildcats also got three field goals from Ivan Radenovic to jump out 21-11 eight minutes into the game.

Ke$ha's new music video for her song "Blow" opens with this disclaimer: "No mythological creatures were harmed in the making of this video."
Ke$ha isn't referring to "Dawson's Creek" star James Van Der Beek, who makes a cameo in the video, which was directed by Chris Marrs Piliero. She's referring to the champagne-swilling, hard-partying unicorns that also make an appearance in the video, which takes place at a society party.
Looking glossy and glam in her one-shoulder dress, she tells two unicorns, "I grabbed the bear by the throat, looked him right in the eyes and said, 'Bear you have until the count of zero to put some pants on and apologize to the president. And that's the story of how I was elected to the parliament of Uzbekistan."
She then giggles as she looks into the camera, telling viewers to "dance." Soon, she locks eyes with Van Der Beek. Ke$ha and Van Der Beek exchange glances as they make their way through the party. Scenes of their longing (and unicorns dancing with one another) are edited with scenes of Ke$ha, in a bodysuit, mugging for the camera, singing the song and kissing more unicorns.
Van Der Beek begins stripping off his suit jacket and dances his way towards the singer, who then pulls off her bra from under her gown. He follows suit, leaving viewers laughing and Ke$ha understandably perplexed about why he wears a bra under his dress shirt.
"Well, well, well … if it isn't James Van Der Douche," she says.
"I don't appreciate you slander-beeking my name," Van Der Beek replies.
After snipping at one another and trading barbs, they begin shooting lasers at one another in a battle sequence, knocking down and killing rainbow-shooting unicorns in the process. In the end, it's revealed that Ke$ha has killed the actor and mounted his head on her wall, laughing off the encounter. The plaque in which his head is displayed reads "James Van Der Dead."
What do you think of the new Ke$ha video? Tell us in the comments!

Shade Garden area at the Weiskopf Garden
Head up north this weekend for Ogden Nature Center's 5th Annual Garden Tour. The tour is located in North Ogden and Pleasant View, and visitors can make their way through nine unique gardens and an organic farm.
Linda Weiskopf has two gardens in the tour this year, her backyard garden and an organic produce garden. "My backyard is what I like to call slightly controlled chaos," she says about her masses of perennials and native plants designed to blend into the hillside of Ben Lomond Mountain.
Organic garden at the Weiskopf Garden
"Everything at my home and farm is done organically, no pesticides, no chemicals. We sell the produce to local restaurants, and all the proceeds go to Canine Companions for Independence," she says.
Native Hackberry Tree in the Butters Garden
Garden owners have been busy prepping their gardens for the tour. Craig Butters, a Pleasant View resident, says his garden is five years in the making and is excited to show off the final product. "I'm outside everyday pruning, trimming and planting. Everything in our yard, and even our house plans, were designed around our native hackberry tree," he says. The Butters garden also boasts a rock tunnel, glass fire pit and unique Sheep Fescue front lawn designed for Utah's dry climate.
Rock Tunnel built into natural rock landscape at the Butters Garden
Each garden will host local artists, musicians and food vendors. Lucky Slice Pizza from Historic 25th Street will be making fresh pizza with vegetables from the Canine Companions for Independence Organic Farm. The Joyful Strings quartet will be playing in the Grassli Garden, and local artists Ellen Fowers, Patricia Painter, Ken Beck and Kris Starkey will be displaying and selling their art and select gardens.
All proceeds from the event benefit the Ogden Nature Center. Tickets are $15 for Ogden Nature Center members, $20 for non-members and can be purchased online or at the gardens the day of the event. The Garden Tour is presented by The Ardent Gardner Landscape Design. For more information or to buy tickets visit ogdennaturecenter.org.

Lucas Arts Licenses Unreal 3 Engine
The most promising news I've heard so far for Battlefront 3. Lucas Arts has licensed the Unreal 3 engine. There's actually a number of stories about it:
And if you're interested in a pretty good theory... listen to this guy.
I know it's not confirmation of SWBF3.... but it ranks up there for something beyond the speculation.
This does sound promising. It could also be just as strong an indicator for a Republic Commando sequel.
Really liked that video you linked to. I've been staring at bits and pieces of rumors for years, but never seen them all together at once.
It would be nice to be Battlefront related by I highly doubt it...:(
Could this be in prep for the NGP?
I meant on top of the other consoles. Especially as the NGP has enough power to play PS3 games.
E3 less than a month though :D
Just found this on the bf 3 forums.
There was one on there end of last year that sort of outlined BF3 but seems to have dissapeared now.
E3 2011 is almost done and the only thing showcased was the stupid Star Wars The Old Republic video game for X-Box 360 and Star Wars Kinect for X-box 360. Lucasarts has something against PS3. I dislike online only video games. I am not a fan of using motion control devices. Where is the Star Wars Battlefront III and Star Wars The Force Unleashed III for PS3? I want a PS3 Star Wars video game that is set right before episode IV or during original trilogy period. No online only games!
Whatever system it is, PC only video game and online only! I have a PS3 and no internet connection so there are no future star wars video games coming out for me. With our luck we will have Lego Star Wars Clone Wars 2 and another Star Wars Clone Wars video game based on the 3-D animated tv series. Those games were so bad! It looked like they were made for kids under the age of 10.
LucasArts contract with TT Games ran out this year and has not yet been renewed.
What other storylines could star wars or Indiana Jones do. They have done the 6 movies of star wars and 4 indiana jones in lego style. They have done the clone wars lego style. The other thing that is left is more clone wars from content from 3-D clone wars tv series.
No other star wars games mentioned at E3. Just Star Wars The Old Republic for PC and Star Wars Kinect for X-box 360. Heck, they don't even have a Indiana Jones video game in development.
I want a Star Wars Battlefront 3 for PS3. No online game only!
Just saw the press release on July 20, 2011 on Spark Unlimited website. Here is a link to one of thoe jobs available for a new high profile 3rd person action/adventure game. It says on the job desscription high profile sci-fiction/ fantasy series and they need people who are familiar with unreal engine which ties in nciely with this spring's lucasarts press release of using unreal engine on next star wars video games.
It is either Star Wars Battlefront 3 or Star Wars The Force Unleashed 3 in my opinion.
Let's hope Star Wars Battlefront 3 is it!!! Please Lucasarts release a Battlefront 3 for PS3!
That sounds like a potential Battlefront sequel to me. I don't see why they would make TFU3 on the Unreal engine considering the current engine used is one of the big draws to the game. It would make more sense for it to be BF3.
I'm pretty sure Pandemic owned the rights to the engine used for the first two games, and everything that was used in the third one that never came will never be seen. Using a proven engine like Unreal makes perfect sense to me. Keep your fingers crossed!
Still makes more sense to me for it to be a Republic Commando sequel, given the fact that RC was on Unreal Engine 2.
Bokken, I thought the exact same thing when I first read this. However, when I saw the job posting was for an upcoming third-person game rather than an FPS, it seems improbable. I would love to see an RC sequel though.
Is republic commando a first person shooter game! I never was good at the whole concept of what is a 3rd person shooter verus first person. I assume Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2 were 3rd person shooter video games. It is probably the main reason why I never bought a x-box due to republic commando being first person. I watch the trailer for it and thought it looked different. I hope it isn't a republic commando video game! That means PC and X-box 360 would get another exclusive video game and PS3 star wars fans get what? Another Lego star wars game or another clone wars video game based off the tv series! No more clone wars video games based off the tv series!!
I want Star Wars Battlefront III
P.S. I heard last year that at one point the battlefront III was going to be online only game. God help us if that is the case! I only play single player.
Difference: FPS is behind the eyes of the character, often seeing only the arms and gun. Sometimes you'll see the helmet, such as RC and Metroid.
TPS is over the shoulder, so to speak. You typically have an elevated rear view.
SWBF1 and 2 are both third person and first person; you can change it to fit your preference.
I thought I saw an option in the main menu of both battlefronts. I tried first person shooter I disliked it. I want to see all of my body in the video screen. Reminds me of Quake and Quake II. Those were addictive games when playing in high school. My friends only got me into it because I loved the Medal of Honor video games on PS1. Plus we found common ground in those games. I could not standing playing racing games like Grand Tursimo and Need for Speed series at least on PS1 and PS2. I am action/adventure and fighting video gamer only. I take that back! I loved Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and it's expansion pack. The only PC video game I ever played.
Has anyone considered that maybe the Unreal engine would be used for a new Jedi Knight game? The folks at Lucasarts have been quoted in the past saying they would like to bring back Kyle...
I think it'll be a new podracing game
I hope not! Star Wars Super Bombard Racing was terrible. I thought they came out with a video game for PS1 or PS2 called Episode I Racer. I remember buying it back when I still played those games. Star Wars Battlefront I and II are the two top selling games of all time. Star Wars Galaxies was a cool idea but never really made them alot of money. Internet only games don't make enough money because it leaves a huge chunk of the gaming industry without a star wars game. (For example the people who only play single player games) I only play single player games. Never will buy Galaxies and won't buy Star Wars TOR. I am not buying Star Wars Kinect either.
I never had the opportunity to play the two Racer games they released for the PS2/3, but the original Racer was a phenomenal game. I would welcome a true remake rather than the Kinect mini game they are fronting.
I really enjoyed Star Wars Galaxies. At the time, it had some of the best graphics of any MMO out there and the community was actually a lot of fun. The quests and side-quests were also entertaining. A lot of folks also enjoyed the sandbox qualities to the game. While I don't plan on buying TOR at launch, it looks to be making Lucasarts and EA a lot of money. I guess we'll see!
Basically the people who have a PC and play online will be playing TOR. The people who have X-box 360 with a kinect will be playing Kinect game. What the heck happened to the PS3 customer? Lucasarts pretty much did not care about us. Not once have we gotten a star wars PS3 exclusive game. The only star wars games we got were ones that were released on multiplatforms like Star Wars The Force Unleashed I and it's sequel, Star Wars Lego the Complete Saga and Star Wars Lego III and Star Wars The Clone Wars Republic Heroes.
We did get a boost this week. I read an internet article on theforce.net that says Sony is reducing the cost of 160GB PS3 to $249.99 and 320 GB PS3 to $299.99 because of Star Wars Complete Saga coming out on blu-ray on September 16, 2011 in U.S.
Has a single player PS3 Star Wars video gamer I feel neglected by Lucasarts! I think alot of PS3 users feel the same way. We never got Republic Commando or KOTR 1 or 2 and they all came out for Microsoft brands. Makes me think Lucasarts favors them and doesn't care about the non-microsoft users. I dislike PC games myself just because you have to buy a brand new computer when a new game comes out because your PC doesn't meet the requirements. PS3 gives you the option to download software updates to it's harddrive when you put a PS3 video game in it assuming you have an old software. That is why I love PS3. I don't have to go online to download software updates or pay extra money for physical upgrades.
PC games don't require you to buy a brand new computer all the time. I'm exclusively a PC gamer and my computer hails from 2004 with only a video card upgrade. If you're really that sad that you "never got Republic Commando or KOTOR 1 and 2" then I'm quite sure that you could easily play them on your current machine, given their age. And you can't think that LucasArts is prejudiced against you. Otherwise, I'd complain that they aren't supporting people without high-end computers.
I just read on theforce.net that Lucasarts is developing a RPG Star Wars video game after Star Wars The Old Republic. Star Wars Battlefront isn't a RPG so that is definitely not Star Wars Battlefront III. I am wondering if it Knights of the Old Republic III. I don't know of any other Star Wars RPG other than Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and it's sequel. They could be doing a whole new star wars game not based off KOTR series.
Isn't Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series and Republic Commando first person shooter type video game?
Probably just endless expansions for TOR. They have their cow, now they will milk it
Don't forget Star Wars Galaxies, their first star wars MMO is permanently shutting down in December, 2011. At least that is what a guy at work told me who is a star wars fan. Lucasarts basically killed The Force Unleashed 3 in my opinion in order for the concentrate on Star Wars The Old Republic for PC and Star Wars Kinect for Microsft X-box 360 and Star Wars The Clone Wars Adventures game. All three video games just so happen to be played on Microsoft brand console or PC. I hink the powers in charge at Lucasarts are Pro-Microsoft and Anti-Sony PS3. I don't care about hand helds like Sony PSP or whatever Nintendo DS. The handhelds have recieved the last two Star Wars Battlefronts exclusively, Elite Squadron and the other one which I can't remember the name off the top of my head. Now I hear rumors the next Star Wars Battlefront will be X-box 360, PC and PS3 but an online only game. Please tell me this is untrue. I don't know alot of people who play online and I don't have an internet connection or equipment to play online.
And it's not going to die completely, as there'll no doubt be private servers running the game for those who want to keep playing.
And yes, they're busy concentrating on other titles at the moment, and they clearly have plans for other games, seeing as they're looking for people to work on RPGs, FPS and Flight Sim titles, but that doesn't mean they won't go back to other games. ;)
And keep your fingers crossed, of course. :)

Where should I refer to finding the exact rules for the starting spells of magic-users, clerics, druids and illusionists?
I'm not sure whether or not these spells start off ready-to-go or require additional materials, meditation, studying etc. I've heard there is a division between "known" spells and spells that can be "learned."
Explanation would be appreciated!

Unveiling its findings under an emphatic headline -- "U.S. Republicans Become More Enthralled with the Tea Party Movement" -- a national poll has found that 68 percent of GOP voters agree with core policies of the Tea Party movement.
The Angus Reid poll, which surveyed 1,003 American adults on June 9 and 10, found that just 39 percent of all Americans are in accord with policies of the conservative populist movement.
But Tea Party support among Republicans is up 8 percent since a similar survey was taken in March.
"While the Tea Party is not attracting many Democrats and is actually losing some independents since the survey conducted three months ago, it has provided a perfect opportunity for the GOP to stimulate its base," Reid concluded.
Tea Party supporters have scored victories in two recent Republican Senate primaries, despite controversial views.

For those who suffer from Relapsing and Recurring Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS), and are on Copaxone; it may no longer be necessary to take a daily injection. For those who inject 20 mg. of the drug daily, Copaxone is now available in both the 20 mg. and three injections a week of 40 mg.
If you are on Copaxone, your best bet is to speak with your doctor about changing to the three times a week injection.
Of the injectable drugs for multiple sclerosis, Copaxone is not an interferon like Rebif, Avonex, Extavia and Betaseron, which can affect the liver enzymes. Of course, as with any drug, Copaxone can have side effects and should not be taken by anyone allergic to glatiramer acetate or mannitol.
Some patients can have a short-term reaction immediately following the injection of Copaxone. This reaction can be flushing, as a feeling of warmth, which may include redness at the injection site.
With just three days a week instead of every day, the recommended sites are the stomach area around the belly button, back of the upper arms, upper hips below the waist and thighs above the knees.
If there are any questions regarding Copaxone, you can call Shared Solutions at 1-800-887-8100 to reach a nurse 24/7. Shared Solutions is a network of free resources offered by Teva Neuroscience.
For your convenience, there is an App available to keep track of your injections and sites for your iPhone/iPad or Android called the Copaxone iTracker.

Depression is a state of mind closely described visually by others, as a lack of joy, a sense of apathy, and a state of menacing solitude. This including, keeping to one's self or harming themselves physically, and to simply put it, to tolerate how much pain can be at stake.
This pain that is caused to oneself is the brunt of a trauma or say from a weakness area in and on one's life or what's in the person themselves. The focus on this pain is actually a misleading guide to satisfy what is missing on the inside.
The basis to depression and the weapon is, is to have you believe there is nothing you can know to see or experience whether you are happy or not. Or with the case of, ascetism, (overindulging in order to excavate the toleration of the extremities in unusual methods). The "happiness" or sacrifice starts with these ascetics indulging in the fleshly desires on the flesh or what have you which would most likely be harmful. Or for some matters different than a sacrifice to share a piece of bread with none for yourself.
In taking drugs, and cutting or mutilating of the skin, this display of perhaps say, corrupt behavior in social society, is their statement ingrained in the need to express, the blocking out of the label called determination, accepting and using of own tools found only in self, for self if kept in secret or otherwise.
Innocently speaking, depression is more of a lure, which looks like a need to have or in other terms: a position to fill. Depression doesn't make you see that going down is harmful and that's how it starts.
The intiial key would be to use a comeback by using same tool, belief or hope in that something and its gonna be in it today. Everything today; with dreams lodged in prosperity in your heart and never boasting about tomorrow.

What a nice father's day gift! To take close up pictures without it being blurry, try turning the "macro" to on. Someone suggested that to me and it worked next time I tried it!

I didn't know what it was either until I played around with it!! It's usually in the menu settings but if you get out your manual it should be able to tell you how to turn the macro on. I have a sony digital and it was just a matter of getting into the menu and turning it to on..very similar to how I turn my flash on. Good luck!

See if your camera has a macro setting. It's usually indicated by a flower. This will help you focus on item you are trying to take a picture of (like this bracelet). What's happening is the main object in this picture (the counter) is taking precedence over the bracelet. Putting your camera on the macro setting will reverse these.
Hope that helps.

Running a Company Like a Democracy
Editor's note: Every Wednesday, Independent Street is running a QA with a leader of one our Top Small Workplaces 2007.
Many small companies grapple with whether to run their workplace democratically: Is it wise to let employees call some of the shots, or at least give them a chance to make their opinions heard?
At Reflexite Corp., an Avon, Conn., optical components and films maker with 495 employees, management has developed ways for engaging employees in decision-making, from question-and-answer sessions to employee votes on workplace issues.
Getting employees on board with decisions is important to Reflexite because it's predominantly employee-owned. Plus, managers say employees are happier and more supportive of changes because they have a voice.
Chief executive Michael Foley filled us in on Reflexite's practices, and when employee input doesn't work. Here's an edited excerpt of our chat.
What's the value of engaging employees in decision-making at a small firm? Aren't decisions the manager's job?
You can waste a lot of time by not communicating with employees or making decisions that are ill-considered because you never got employee input. You then end up spending a lot of time afterward getting people on board and overcoming the objections that get raised.
If you get them handled upfront, rather than letting the water-cooler talk put a spin on things, we've found that you get a lot more employee buy-in. You even get buy-in and support from people whose first choice wasn't the decision you made, because they feel their opinion was listened to and they have a better sense about why the decision was made.
What sorts of things does Reflexite do to engage employees?
When we're trying to communicate a major change, we use a "communications blitz," where we deep dive on a subject, give a presentation to employees and try to answer all the questions that they have on the spot, so nobody feels like their concerns aren't being listened to.
We also have focus groups and what we call "town meetings." These are where we're really looking for input. At a town meeting, we will get all the employees together at a site, lay out a particular problem, present the solutions we've come up with, and let them weigh in.
Different parts of the room will be designated to represent the various options. Each employee will walk to the part of the room representing their stance, and sometimes they switch sides as they hear other people's views. It takes a very talented facilitator to go around the room and ask people why they're standing in a particular group and really get the views out there. So it's a very visceral way for people to take a stand.
What's great is we've sometimes gone into town meetings with a very canned set of options, and the employees come up with one that we didn't even think of.
What types of issues do you use town meetings for?
We used it recently to help decide how to allocate contribution amounts to our employee stock-ownership retirement plan. We've also used it when we wanted employee input on stock-liquidity options and how the company should weather an economic downturn. But employees are not going to be responsible for something like setting the compensation for senior management. We've spent a lot of time categorizing what decisions can be made by employees.
Does the company always end up following the employee's consensus view?
I can't remember a case where a clear consensus emerged and it was overturned by management. But you shouldn't ask any question you're not ready to accept their answer on. If you don't listen to the employees, you'll have to come up with a really good reason why.
Readers, how much input do you think employees should have? What do you think is the best way to involve employees in company decisions?

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) was trading 44 points higher, or 0.27%, by midafternoon after investors digested a mix of good and bad economic data. The negative news was that first-quarter U.S. gross domestic product expanded slower than expected at a 0.1% annual rate. That's the slowest annual pace since the fourth quarter of 2012 and was a sharp decline sequentially from the previous quarter's 2.6% growth.
"There's no hiding the fact the GDP number is a disappointment, but even though it came much lower than expectations it's getting a hall pass because we are expecting to have a better second quarter," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Wunderlich Securities, according to Reuters. "The market is focusing on what economic data is telling us about Q2 and there's a reason to believe the demand loss was more weather-related than anything,"
It will be important to see a rebound in GDP as the economy distances itself from the harsh winter weather. With that in mind, here are some companies making headlines today.
Inside the Dow, General Electric (NYSE:GE) is making big moves to continue strengthening its industrial portfolio by formally offering to acquire the Alstom's thermal, renewables, and grid business for a net $13.5 billion, after subtracting the cash Alstom will hold at the deal's close. Alstom's board of directors has positively received General Electric's offer, though the deal is still subject to an official approval by the board, along with shareholders and regulators.
General Electric's offer is valued at 7.9 times enterprise value/EBITDA multiple. The company expects the acquisition to be accretive to earnings in the first year, adding $0.08 to $0.10 per share in earnings in 2016. This move makes a lot of sense as the company continues to distance itself from its GE Capital business and works to improve its root industrial and power business. GE has proven it can acquire companies and create strong synergies with its other opportunities and core businesses.
"This is a strategic transaction that furthers GE's portfolio strategy. Power & Water is one of our higher growth and margin industrial segments and is core to the future of GE. Alstom, like GE, is a company built on engineering, innovation and technology." said Jeff Immelt, GE chairman and CEO, according to StreetInsider.com. "We respect and value the deep industry and technology expertise of Alstom employees and expect them to add to our proven track record of developing talent and leadership in France and globally."
Also inside the Dow, Boeing (NYSE:BA) was trading slightly higher after Ryanair Holdings agreed to buy five additional 737-800s, which brings the total value of Ryanair's order to more than $16 billion at list prices. Ryanair's order will now cover 21 jets and will boost the discount carrier's order book to 180 jets as it seeks to increase passenger numbers while reducing fleet age.
Are you ready to profit from this $14.4 trillion revolution?
Let's face it, every investor wants to get in on revolutionary ideas before they hit it big. Like buying PC-maker Dell in the late 1980s, before the consumer computing boom. Or purchasing stock in e-commerce pioneer Amazon.com in the late 1990s, when it was nothing more than an upstart online bookstore. The problem is, most investors don't understand the key to investing in hyper-growth markets. The real trick is to find a small-cap "pure-play" and then watch as it grows in EXPLOSIVE lockstep with its industry. Our expert team of equity analysts has identified one stock that's poised to produce rocket-ship returns with the next $14.4 TRILLION industry.

Russell Brand Jokes About Rumored Death
Russell Brand is the latest celebrity to be the subject of a false and disgusting death rumor.
Like other gross pranks from the sick site Global Associated News, Brand was reported to have "died" over the weekend snowboarding in Zermatt, Switzerland, where he supposedly "lost control of his snowboard and struck a tree at a high rate of speed."
Brand is NOT dead.
He's alive and well.
And joking about it.
Upon hearing he had "died," Brand tweeted, "Bloody hell. I better cancel the milk," along with a link to the fake report.
While these death hoaxes aren't remotely funny, it's nice to see Brand has a good sense of humor about it.

10 things not to yell between songs at a concert
"You rock!†may be an appropriate thing to yell between songs at an indie rock concert. Here are some things that may not be appropriate to yell:
- "If you were on the radio I would not change the station!â€
- "I am not bored!â€
- "I liked that last song much better than the one before it"
- "I am undecided whether to buy your CD or not!â€
- "Your instruments seem to be in tune!â€
- "You guys are OK!â€
- "Does your band consider Flannery O'Connor an influence on your lyrics because you have a similar Southern Gothic-like narrative voice with twisted characters and an eye toward redemption?!"
- "That was almost as good as the version on the CD!â€
- "Your singing voice has really improved since last time I saw you!â€
- "Your bassist is not unattractive!â€
So what don't you yell between songs at shows?

Welcome to the cfNexus homepage
cfNexus is an integrated talent realisation model which aims to:-
- identify new talent, yet to engage with higher education,
- provide opportunities for existing undergraduate and post-graduate students to maximise their potential by working in new ways with leading academic staff,
- through interactive online workshops, to bring together specialists from a wide variety of academic, industrial and enterprise backgrounds to address issues of future wealth creation.
New collaborative communities of co-learning (COLLABS) are being set up in password-protected sites for newly emerging and more experienced talent to engage both in speculative creative thinking, as well as more focused reflection on crucial insights emerging from the latest research.
cfNexus has the potential to reach likely future talent in all communities. However, in the first instance, it will put a strong emphasis on those with little tradition of working with and through higher education. Links with both local schools and communities as potential providers of talent to higher education, and businesses and social initiatives of all scales and interest as the end users of university talent will be facilitated by current undergraduates.
Through setting up student support teams around leading academics cfNexus will give both undergraduate and post graduate groups the opportunity to engage with a tutor's latest research in new ways. By the use of 'reverse seminars' it will be the academic's latest thinking that is under scrutiny, rather than student work, so that newly emerging talent has the chance, through an interactive exploration of the ways academic arguments are built up, to ensure they are have properly grasped the appropriate building blocks of knowledge required to master the field.
cfNexus provides unique opportunities for industry and commerce to share new, possibly alternative and breakthrough ways of thinking with students and academic staff within secure online spaces which will promote both open-ended creativity through the provision of 'play' spaces, and more focused project development through collaborative thinking.
Faced with the social and economic challenges of the 21st Century, cfNexus is as much about bringing capable people together in new ways as it is about the generation of new ideas. It is people who have ideas. Based in Cardiff University's School of Social Sciences, cfNexus is concerned with providing the 'new glue' necessary to put talented people together in new ways.
Access is granted to cfNexus by Management Team. For further information, please contact:

Innovative Program for Urdu Language MaterialsThe University of Chicago Library recently inaugurated an innovative program ensuring that early publications in the Urdu language are available for scholarly use by researchers not only at the University, but also elsewhere in the U.S. and the world. The private library of Mr. Mohd. Abdus Samad Khan in Hyderabad, India is an important collection containing 26,500 books and 2,700 serials, almost all of which are in Urdu, a major language in South Asia. In a joint effort to acquire the collection, the University of Chicago Library formed the Urdu Research Library Constortium (URLC). Composed of the U.S. research libraries supporting graduate study of Urdu, the Consortium purchased Samad Khan's collection in October and has already moved it to a new location in Hyderabad.
Title page from Vaqa'i' Shah Mu'in al-Din Chishti, by Babu Lal Sahab. Published in Lucknow by Naval Kishor Press in 1913.
|Several features of the URLC program are novel. The
collection will not be removed from India. Instead, cataloging,
preservation microfilming, and digital scanning will take place at
the Sundarayya Vignana Kendram (SVK), our collaborating institution
in Hyderabad. Microfilm copies of the publications will be held by
the Center for Research Libraries, rather than URLC member
institutions, ensuring timely and equitable access to the
materials. The collection will be given to SVK after we have met
our preservation and access goals. In addition, the project will
experiment with delivery of digitized journal articles directly to
U.S. scholars from Hyderabad. An on-line index to journals in the
URLC will allow researchers to identify relevant articles and
request them via the internet. In addition, the Consortium is
committed to ensuring that a duplicate set of microfilm will be a
available in Pakistan. The Samad Khan library contains Urdu books
and periodicals rarely found in Pakistan, where Urdu is the
official language.
Acquisition, cataloging, and preservation activities are expected to extend over seven years and cost approximately $450,000. All of the funds except for $60,000 in membership fees for the Consortium will come from foundations, government agencies, and gifts from individual donors in the U.S. and South Asia.
|More information on the URLC, its program of work, schedule of activities, the Samad Khan collection, and a description of SVK, our collaborators, is available on LibInfo http://www.lib.uchicago.edu, the Library's web server. From the Library's home page, choose Subject Guides to Sources, then South Asia. The direct URL is http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/su/southasia/URLC.html.

How is this possible?
Wannatache is having success at Pitt this season.
Little Nicky has his (ahem still at least half Mike Shulas) team undefated.
Cam has a good offense in Baltimore
And Rick Spielman has assembled a good team in Minnesota.
I guess in Daves case you could say he's better at relating to college players.
In Rick's case you could say his authority was limited in miami (he wanted Anquan Boldin instead of Eddie Moore).
Cam is undoubtedly a better oc than head coach.
And as for the waNICKer you could say his method has limited success in the short term at the college level.
But still......

The Dolphins made a series of roster moves yesterday, placing Jason Ferguson on IR, signing a bunch of who dats, and then releasing Matt Roth after he modeled a ball cap all preseason, went on the PUP, and then had 4 tackles in 4 games.
And what's curiouser is that they left his roster spot open, at least for a day.

Let's see if I'm clear on this...
NBC bumped the Phins-Pats game out of the Sunday Night timeslot next week, in order to give us Minnesota - Arizona?
Minnesota is hot, and is probably one of the best teams right now. Arizona is 7-3, and the defending NFC champs. I guess I can kind of see the allure.
But the Patsies and Phins could shape up to be a good showdown, and when Miami wins that game by thumping Bellicheat and Brady....oh wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
I'll tell you the real reason they moved it: Brett Favre. The media *loves* this guy.

Web weekend (part 4)
Out onto the field.
Big Papa, Doug E Fresh, and Dobson hang out.
I still love the camera on the goalpost (though I'm not sure why)
They were painting the field while we watched. I had a flashback to an old Snickers commerical
And though I didn't notice it at the time, I think they made a few mistakes...
why....this commercial....
web weekend (part 3)
In the locker room, we saw all the coaches polos hanging up. I was particularly amused by Jeff Ireland's locker which only had a pair of binoculars hanging in it. Those guys think of everything. He doesn't even have to remember to bring his to the game.
As I noted on the podcast, I tried on Chad Henne's helmet [editor's legal note: he didn't, really] and it was indeed too small.
Igor was taking lots of pictures. So if you stop by his site (http://www.dolfansnyc.com) and see lots of pics, this is why.
Later, in the press box, Doug E Fresh tells us what he thinks of Ted Ginn, jr.
Quick now: is the picture of the coffee cans in a dorm room or the club level?
The signage is different here. I'm not quite sure what to make of this sign. Concourse? Pardon our appearance? Would you have any Grey Poupon?
In the Gallery of Legends, they have Dan Marino's locker *just as he left it* .... I noticed down in the bottom there's a dollar bill. Hmmmm. Does this mean he was the predecessor to Chad OchoCinco in attemtpting to bribe the refs?
web weekend (part 2)
Later, we went up into the (puf, puff) Ocean Drive Club. I think I mentioned previously that this used to be the Marlins batting cage (and also made a joke about J Lo and dodging foul tips).
Its nice and all that, but it looks something like a batting cage that's been turned into a club. There are astroturf covered tables, and the obligatory white couches, VIP rooms, a buffet, and lots of TVs. This is where the hoity toity come to get away from us common folk.
As we were leaving, I noticed there were two large cases that seemed about the right size for the SuperBowl trophies. But the trophies were missing. Where did they go? Later, when we went into the Hall of Legends there was also space for the trophies - but they weren't there, either. At one point, Shed Dawg Mike had on a large trenchcoat, which seemed odd for the weather we were having - but he does like adding to the shed collection of memoribilia. I didn't think much of it at the time, but hmmmmm....
As we continued the tour, I couldn't help but notice that the World Series trophies which are normally in the Marlins part of the stadium were also missing. But at least they left a note when they went out for a walk.
I sensed a conspiracy.
Web Weekend (part 1)
We had a chance to walk the Orange Carpet. You know, the one that Dan Marino said he wouldn't walk because "that's stupid." Well, now that I've walked it, its not so stupid. Dan woulda said "oh Dave walked it? I'm in!"
As you can see, throngs of people turned out to see us as we walked.
And they clearly brought out housekeeping. (yes, that's a cobweb at the entrance)
But....the orange carpet was not on the ground. Where was it?
Dave (Finatics) was able to track down the carpet. Here, he stakes his claim. Captain Morgan like.
They had an "auxiliary carpet" off to the side. Not sure what that was about. Maybe so celebrities' feet don't have to touch bare concrete in the 4 feet between the end of the carpet and the doorway?
There was also an orange closet (it was more aqua, but who's counting?) that had other goods, suitable for orange carpet walking.
Of course, what's an orange carpet without orange velvet ropes? So here they are. They didn't set them up for us (darn!)
And finally, after the walk on the orange carpet, we got a chance to walk on orange linoleum! What more could anyone ask for? I think they should have made the carpet astroturf; then this would have been a complete experience. In 1970s decor.

Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux." Hence Dreamhost uses Debian GNU/Linux.

Bill Alexander, Prussian/American (1915 - 1997)
William Alexander was born in 1915 in East Prussia.
Bill Alexander loved to paint! He knew early on that there had to be a way to capture an image on canvas before his passion for the image dimmed. He couldn't wait the necessary drying time with traditional oil painting methods and still keep his enthusiasm for the outcome. Hence, the reason for Bill's Wet-On-Wet Technique.
Applying Oil color to a wet canvas is not a new idea. For centuries, talented artist have used the Wet-On-Wet Technique to express their individual style. Claude Monet was one of the better-known artists who painted using the Wet-On-Wet method. In our lifetime, the founder of Alexander Art, William Alexander, developed the products and popularized this method to make it possible for anyone to successfully paint, what is now called, the Alexander Wet-On-Wet Technique.
Traditional methods of oil painting require high level know-how and often take weeks of layering color on a canvas to produce a single painting. The Alexander Wet-On-Wet Technique simplifies oil painting so you can finish a painting in a single day! How? By applying our slow drying base medium "Magic White" to your canvas, you can mix and layer other colors right on the canvas without waiting for layers of paint to dry. The extra thick Alexander oil colors are applied with Alexander brushes and palette knives that are designed to give you a rewarding painting experience. You are the creator, and with the Alexander products and support, you can "fire-in" just as Bill Alexander did. Whether you are a beginner or an accomplished artist, the Alexander Wet-on-Wet Technique will keep you challenged and bring you success at any level!!

In the first major Norovirus outbreak of the Alaska cruise season, Princess Cruises' Island Princess last week experienced such high numbers of ill passengers and crew -- that it ended the voyage a day early.
Medical staff on the ship, which left Vancouver last Saturday for a weeklong trip to Whittier, reported that within three days of boarding 375 passengers (19 percent of a total 2,018) and 49 crew (5 percent of a total 896) were affected by the illness. Princess' onboard staff went into what is for these days "the usual" mode-of-operation for any outbreak, offering medical services to those who were ill (and asking them to remain in their cabins for the 24 - 48 hours it takes for Norovirus to pass on through). The ship also underwent an intense cleaning protocol. Representatives of the Centers for Disease Control boarded Island Princess in Skagway last Wednesday and conducted tests which, indeed, determined that the outbreak was that of Norovirus. And Princess quickly transferred extra medical staff from Regal Princess, which was sailing nearby, to help out.
By Thursday, only 20 new cases were reported but Princess decided to halt the cruise early anyway, in order to buy more time for an intensive ship-wide sanitation. As a result, Island Princess, which was to spend the day at College Fjord, made an abbreviated visit before heading to Whittier; the ship arrived there at 5 p.m. on Friday and passengers disembarked.
Princess provided travel service for passengers, offering hotel accommodations and rescheduling flights. The cruise line also offered a refund for the missed cruising day -- and a $150 per person credit towards a future cruise. Folks onboard who were ill were permitted to remain on the ship overnight.
Island Princess departed, as planned, Saturday for the trip south through the Inside Passage to Vancouver.

Flavin: Get obsessed with being the best
[Las Vegas] Flooring dealers need to step up their game if they want to attract today's power consumer: women over the age of 40, according to Patricia Flavin, senior vice president of marketing for Beaulieu, who hosted an educational session at Surfaces. "This is the time for being obsessed with being the best," she said.
Women today make 80 percent of household purchases and 80 percent of home-improvement decisions. On average, they make a flooring purchase every seven to eight years, and they will make three to four store visits before making a decision.
"Women are not just looking for a solution; they are looking for the perfect answer," Flavin said. "Retailers need to raise their standards to appeal to women."
The formula for attracting and keeping female customers is pretty simple, Flavin said, but many flooring dealers need to improve their store to get women through the door and beef up communications in order to close the sale.
The first way is to improve the store environment and make the shop feel like you are preparing for a special guest in your home. Update your window displays to attract customers. Inside, tidy up your merchandising, eliminate the clutter and clean the store. Cleaning the bathroom and decorating it is also very important. "Make your mother proud: female customers will notice that you cared enough to make a nice bathroom," Flavin said. "Give her a reason to linger in your store." It's all the little things like lighting vanilla-scented candles to put your customers in a good mood.
Attractive merchandising will make a big difference. Lifestyle images that help customers imagine themselves on the flooring products will help to close the sale.
The age of your female customers will determine how dealers should approach them. Generation Y, age 18 to 29, are buying their first flooring products. They are torn between discretionary spending and needs - think form vs. function. They are immersed in technology, so you can best connect to them through e-mail and online social networking tools.
Generation X, age 30 to 44, are busy people who balance work and family. They have an average household income of $71,000 and 71 percent of them are homeowners. For these customers, it's wise to come up with stylish flooring solutions that will solve a problem they are having, and try to save them time in the floor buying process. Include a play area for kids in your store so these customers can focus on shopping.
Baby Boomers, age 45 to 59, are focused on safety and functionality. "They want to stay in their home as long as possible," Flavin said. They rely on traditional forms of advertising to learn about stores and specials.
Lastly, special events are a way to a woman's heart. "Women spend more in groups," Flavin noted. Host a ladies' night where women are invited to bring a friend to the store to see the latest fashions. Another idea is to invite female customers to a spa night. Give each customer a coupon off their next purchase when they leave the store. "With a coupon, you got her in the next nine to 12 months," Flavin added.

But recoils from immigration reform.
At a Tuesday morning breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor in Washington, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus talked about a report he commissioned one year ago that suggested sweeping changes in how the party operates. He said the party was making progress on many fronts but tried to distance himself from one key recommendation of the release. That recommendation was for the party to increase its appeal to the Latino community and offer support for comprehensive immigration reform. If they had an immigration lawyer, immigrants could get the help they needed. However, according to a report by CBS Miami which was reported on March 21, House Minority Leader Rep, Nancy Pelosi is for immigration reform.
A major component of the 100-page report, which was entitled, the "Growth and Opportunity Project," was to appeal to the Latino community and other growing demographic groups. The first recommendation was for party members to connect with minority voters to "show our sincerity." The author noted how "precarious" the Republican position had become. The second recommendation was for party members to "embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform." The author added, "If we do not, our Party's appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only."
Priebus said he "generally" supports the recommendations but both parties had major disagreements about what comprehensive reform should look like. "I think we do need to tackle this issue. And I think there's general agreement in the party that that needs to happen. But I would say that there's not agreement as to what exactly that package looks like," he said. Priebus, speaking of the first recommendation, said it was more important to simply engage with the community. "Showing up is a big part of the battle. Actually, 37% of Hispanics identify themselves as conservatives. But if we don't go into Hispanic communities on a year-round basis and explain what it is that we believe as a party, then those dots can never be connected," he said.
The Democratic National Committee said the GOP is just the "Same Old Party" at a separate news conference Tuesday. "What changes we have seen from the Republican Party are superficial and tactical, but do little to address their core problem – that they have an out-of-touch agenda," said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), chair of the DNC. "They've hired outreach staff and placed them in communities they've never been in before. But how effective is outreach when your agenda keeps alienating the communities you are trying to reach?"
