March 6, 2013
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The stakes are higher and motivation is greater for the University of Iowa wrestling team with postseason action commencing Saturday at the 2013 Big Ten Championships.
"It's the postseason, it's game time," senior Matt McDonough said Wednesday inside the Dan Gable Wrestling Complex. "It's the time you get excited for every single year. The season, as far as you're concerned, the next event is the most important, but the postseason is where champions are made.
"The in-season matches are a barometer and a battle, and you want to win every single one of them, but to be the NCAA champion, you have to win all your matches in the postseason, and that's what I am out there trying to do."
The 2013 Big Ten Championships will be contested March 9-10 in Champaign, Ill., inside Assembly Hall. Five of the nation's top-ranked wrestlers, and six No. 2s, will compete in the tournament.
"I feel good about our guys, I always have and that won't change. This is the most exciting time of the year and this is where you put your name on the wall with the best of this program, which are some of the best in the history of college wrestling."
UI head coach Tom Brands
"I feel good about our guys, I always have and that won't change," said UI head coach Tom Brands. "This is the most exciting time of the year and this is where you put your name on the wall with the best of this program, which are some of the best in the history of college wrestling."
All 10 Iowa wrestlers earned preliminary seeds, including top seeds McDonough (125 pounds) and Derek St. John (157 pounds). Junior Tony Ramos is the No. 2 seed at 133, and senior Mark Ballweg is the No. 3 seed at 141.
Brands says regardless of the seeds, the team needs to focus match-by-match and not look ahead.
"Once those brackets are laid out, it's one match at a time into the awards, into creating credentials and accolades for yourself," he said. "We have to have some urgency and score points. You have to put the clamps on in situations where they're starting to get away from you. You have to do it now.
"You cannot let it come down to close matches and come up short. You have to cement things and take control of situations that are controllable instead of letting controllable situations spiral out of control."
McDonough and St. John enter the tournament as the top seeds, but both wrestlers are coming off losses against Missouri at the NWCA National Duals. McDonough lost 4-0 to fourth-ranked Alan Waters, while St. John fell 4-3 to No. 19 Kyle Brady.
"They're pretty determined to make sure it doesn't happen in the future," said Brands. "We work on it and those two things together make a guy hungry, and that's what we want."
Two of the question marks in the lineup will be filled by Josh Dziewa at 149 pounds and Ethen Lofthouse at 184. Dziewa is moving up a weight class, while Lofthouse won a wrestle-off with Grant Gambrall to secure the spot.
"We know he can wrestle, and he knows what he is capable of," Brands said of Dwiewa. "We feel like he's our best chance, and we're going with it. It's more of a coaching call, but he has earned it as well."
Dwiewa is looking to make a statement and take advantage of his opportunity.
"If I do my job, and do what I am capable of doing, I am looking to win the tournament," said Dwiewa, who is 15-2 this season. "It's not a matter of taking seventh place and qualifying for the national tournament. That's not even in the discussion. Whatever seed, whoever I wrestle, I am wrestling hard for seven minutes, looking to bang heads."
After top-seeded Logan Stieber of Ohio State missed the Jan. 4 dual in Iowa City, Ramos circled March 10 on his calendar. Stieber has handed Ramos three of his 10 career losses, which includes victories in last season's Big Ten final and in the semifinals of the NCAA Championships.
"I have thought about it, and it's going to be exciting," said Ramos, who is 23-0 this season. "I have to get through two rounds before that. I am preparing for it and am ready for it."
The Big Ten Digital Network will stream the duration of the championships online at BTN.com. The BTN will provide live coverage of Sunday's finals beginning at 1:30 p.m. (CT).

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2006 Article IV Consultation with PanamaPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 07/33
March 15, 2007
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.
On February 16, 2007, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded
the Article IV consultation with Panama.1
Real GDP growth averaged 7¼ percent in 2004-05 and is estimated to have continued at that pace in 2006, led by exports of services, construction, and investment. Unemployment fell significantly. Although annual inflation crept up to 3.4 percent at end-2005 on account of high fuel and electricity prices, it dropped to 2.2 percent at end-2006. Despite a rising oil bill, the external position improved.
Aided by the strong economy, enhanced tax collections, and spending restraint, the balance of the nonfinancial public sector (NFPS) excluding the Panama Canal Authority (PCA) is estimated to have improved to a surplus of 0.5 percent of GDP in 2006 (from a deficit of 2½ percent in 2005). Higher transfers from the PCA and one-off revenues contributed to the improvement. Reflecting fast economic growth and fiscal consolidation, public debt has fallen from 66 percent of GDP in 2004 to an estimated 60 percent in 2006. This refers to the gross NFPS debt, without deducting holdings of financial assets (proceeds from privatization) of about 7 percent of GDP.
Banking system soundness indicators remain solid. Although liquidity ratios had declined as a result of rapid consumer and housing lending growth, they recovered in the last quarter of 2006. The country largely complies with the Basel core principles of effective banking supervision, but a recent IMF assessment noted the need for improving nonbank financial supervision. Taking advantage of favorable conditions in international financial markets, the government engaged in several debt exchange and buyback operations that extended average debt maturity and lowered interest rates on external liabilities.
Nearly 80 percent of voters backed the Panama Canal expansion in the recent referendum, thus providing the PCA with a clear mandate to proceed with the construction, planned for 2007-14 at a cost of US$5.2 billion (some 30 percent of current GDP). The project is expected to boost GDP growth and job creation, both directly and by stimulating related industries.
The medium-term outlook is promising, supported by the canal expansion and other large construction projects. For 2007-10, staff projects average annual real GDP growth of about 6½ percent , inflation of 2¼-2¾ percent, and a temporary widening of the external current account deficit.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors commended the Panamanian authorities for their sound macroeconomic management, marked by another year of strong economic performance, with robust growth, subdued inflation, and declining unemployment. They welcomed the progress in strengthening public finances, which has helped reduce the debt burden. Directors saw the planned expansion of the Panama Canal as bringing substantial potential economic and social benefits—including stronger growth and employment and encouraged the authorities to ensure that the expansion is judiciously managed and accompanied by appropriate fiscal and structural policies.
Directors welcomed the efforts of the authorities in managing the domestic impact of the canal expansion project, so that it does not create financial or economic imbalances. Directors supported, in particular, the authorities' intention to monitor implementation carefully and coordinate closely expenditure and borrowing strategies of the government and the PCA. They noted the need to remain vigilant, maintain adequate contingency reserves, and take action if expansion costs exceed projections or if domestic demand pressures build up. Directors recommended continued transparent bidding and procurement practices during the canal expansion.
Directors noted that the authorities' deficit target of 1 percent of GDP by 2009 for the nonfinancial public sector (excluding PCA) will enhance Panama's ability to adjust to possible shocks and lower its country risk even further. To achieve this target, Directors recommended streamlining subsidies by better targeting them to the poor, reducing tax exemptions, continuing to combat tax evasion, and further enhancing fiscal transparency.
Observing that the public debt-to-GDP ratio is still high, Directors encouraged the authorities to anchor policies in a medium- to long-term framework that keeps the fiscal deficit at 1 percent of GDP after 2009, while allowing an expansion of much needed poverty-related and infrastructure spending. Directors also recommended that this framework be explicitly contained in the Fiscal Responsibility Law under preparation. More generally, Directors considered that a challenging project like the canal expansion, as well as the limited policy tools available under the dollarization regime, are both factors that reinforce the need for continued fiscal discipline and structural reform.
Directors commended the authorities' commitment to preserve the soundness of the banking system. They supported the decision to strengthen the legal liquidity requirement and improve market risk management, while cautioning that fast credit growth and possibly rising real estate prices suggest the need for vigilance over the quality of loans. Directors stressed the need to improve the institutional framework for supervision and regulation of insurance and securities, and further strengthen anti-money laundering practices.
Directors welcomed the recent gains in competitiveness and improvements in the business environment. They added that sustained investment will be enhanced by improved infrastructure and governance, greater flexibility in the labor market, a more efficient public sector, and strengthened market relations with trading partners. Continued reforms to upgrade education and health services will solidify prospects for poverty reduction. Future canal revenues should be used prudently in supporting well-targeted social reforms and economic diversification, and benefit all segments of society.

AUTOFASHION CHRISTMAS 2009January 13, 2010 by autofashion
As some of you know The Autoashion Family Holds a Christmas party every year. This year we did it a little different. We had a lot of things like Christmas trees, Ugly Christmas Sweaters, Santa, Gifts, Games, food, alcohol, and even a guest appearance from "FROSTY THE SNOW MAN"(HAHAHA).
Lets start off with the Food. We had everything that you can think of such as Turkey, Stuffing, Deviled eggs, Deserts, Roast, Noodles, and Ham. With all the food came everyone that helped and pitched in and made food for this occasion. Lets thank everyone Joe, Vanessa, Robert, Yuri, Joyce, Steve, Linda, Kevin, Bobby, Kenny, Oscar, Augg, Dennis, Lisa, Gene, Nate, and everyone else I forgot sorry.
After the food this is one of those times that we can blame it on the Alcohol!!!! Lets thank Patrone (Costco size), Kirkland, Grey Goose, Sake, and the mother effer Henny. For some of us it was a ruff night to get over. Some of us we just couldn't remember too much after finishing 3 bottles of Goose, 1 big ass bottle of Patron, 2 bottles of Sake, 1 tall bottle of Kirkland Vodka, and that fool Henny hahaha. This was one night to remember for sure. We had throw up everywhere, Frosty the Snow man had melted HAHAHA, and a few other things happen just so much!!!! Sorry for the mess Joe and Vanessa. Hope the Cleaners didn't hate you too much hahaha!!!
All in all it was a great night. All of the Autofashion Family showed up!!!! As you can see this was an UGLY Christmas sweater party. We had a competition on who had the ugliest sweater and everyone paid $10 bucks to give to the winner. It was a hard decision but Joe came out as the winner. There was some really ugly sweaters that came out that night and oh my god it looked like Christmas threw up. After the contest we did the white elephant gift exchange with everyone. This wasn't your ordinary white elephant. Everyone had to take a shot to get a gift and if you stole from someone you would have to take 2 shots. So you can imagine how many people got messed up just by this alone hahaha. There was great gifts out there and a lot of stealing happened and a lot of drinking.
The next day we always get back together to grab breakfast. This year was a little hard for people to get up but managed to make it out. Last year we went to olive garden. This year we ended up at IHOP. It was one of the best times of 2009 for us and will never forget it.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!!!! Im sure the pictures will tell you most of the story. Thanks everyone who came out and thanks to the Autofashion Family for another mark in history!!!!
Thanks– Freddie

This time of year Mac users attention turns to games. Yes, the family and friends and their kids are coming over, and it's a great time to enjoy some gaming. Follow along as we visit some Games of Macintosh Past
Remember, that in today's world, most Macs have an S-Video out, or another means of connecting to video output — so you can run your Mac Games through your new big-screen TV. I happened to see this on one of the new 70-inch Sony Plasma TVs and it was stunning! Great fun for the whole family. So, this week's InfoManager brings you some new selections of games. I also got a bit nostalgic about memories of Mac games past…
I never really had much patience for the Tetris style falling-tile and match-the-icon games. After a few rounds they quickly become ho-hum… boring. I'm for a little action. My son is into the killer war games online. He has achieved a level of notoriety and has become quite fluent with the controls. But I can't get past level one in those games. They are just too frustrating.
My all-time favorite Mac game was Pinball Construction Set. (Screen) You could build your own pinball games, making them as difficult as the primitive software would allow! My son was about 7 when we got the game, and he and I would play it for hours. Another true favorite was the Shufflepuck Cafe — a humorous twist on Pong that pitted you against seemy creatures from some other planet. They would make snide comments about you with you won a point, and badger you when you lost. (Screen) And, who can forget the Prince of Persia (1989), my daughter's favorite!
Our special thanks go out to Blake.Patterson, "Blakespot," for putting together a huge library of screens from the legacy Mac games including Defender, Alice, Lode runner, Creepy Castle and others. See them all at his web site The Bit Cellar. (Blake maintains a functional Mac Plus work station although he doesn't look old enough to have even been around for a Mac Plus!)
For another treat, visit Alice's "SloMacUser" web site for some very interesting commentary on the past, along with some thrilling videos of your favorite old games… see the YouTube video of the "Amazing" game (better known as "Alice"), and Broederbund's "JamPlayer". And you'll remember, Mac as the first consumer computer to allow music composition, we all loved MusicWorks — where I must have had several hundred compositions. My kids loved it!
And, did anyone else purchase Rock, Rap & Roll? I sure did, and we would build music constructions for hours on end. Believe it or not, that program continued to run until the Tiger version of Mac. It still runs well on all Macs up to Panther! (NOT on the MacTel machines.) Here, SlowMacUser has also provided a splendid video of Rock, Rap & Roll.
Unfortunately, the video of "MacPlaymate" has been banned by YouTube. Too bad. That was another of those milestone games of the mid 1980s — a HUGE hit at Macworld!
Have some fun checking out the SloMacUser YouTube site, and some of the best Early Mac memorabilia you'll ever see online at the SloMacUser blog.
Flying and Shooting
I don't know if you remember, but one of the first games on the Mac was a great shoot-em-up where you would defend your home base against all manner of incoming paratroopers, jets and choppers. We used to love that game! Great sound track, action and all! Unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the game, and the original diskettes are way gone.
For last week's review of "Chopper" I downloaded the game and ran through the first few demo levels and it's a home-run game too! They have added new shine to this classic arcade game — making the animation action smooth, and the controls super sensitive and accurate. Even on this aging PowerBook, it runs smoothly and effortlessly. If you like simple, fast-paced military based games, I suggest you at least try Chopper for yourself. You might get hooked too! Chopper Game
If you would like a stroll down memory lane and rekindle memories of past Mac games, here are a list of links where Mac Plus and Mac SE games still rule:
The way it was…
Remember GunShy, MahJongg and BlackBox? (Another of my favorites, running on the awesome 512K Mac.) How about GoMoku, Otello and Klondike? Catch up with them all at: The Mac Plus Retrocomputing Pages
The Mac 68K Liberation Army site forums offers a number of interesting threads on legacy Mac computing
The MacRumors web site has some interesting posts in their "Apple Collectors" forum, once you get past the screen spam.
At Theodor Lauppert's blog, you can see even more links to famous legacy games
Macintosh Game Links where there are some 40 freeware games to download.
Then if you're really in the mood for some deep, dark, historic digging, you MUST go see the original Macintosh white paper written by Jef Raskin in 1980, and The Making of the Macintosh by Stanford University. These two documents tell the whole story about the original idea to develop the Macintosh — the computer that changed everything.
Now, if I can just find a decent Pinball Machine game for Leopard, we'll have it made!
Please send in your links to your favorite legacy Mac games!

The Political Arena
Independent Tradition
After the campaign, Douglas, at age fifty, enlisted in the U.S. Marines. He was wounded in Okinawa and spent a year in military hospitals before returning to the University. In 1948, he ran for the U.S. Senate again and won. Douglas served for three terms as a highly respected and independent liberal Democrat.
He was defeated in 1966 by Republican Charles Percy (AB 1941), a University of Chicago trustee who also became known for the independent position he occupied within his political party. Hyde Park's tradition of political independence, starting with Charles Merriam's terms in the city council, has regularly drawn strength from within the University community. Most elected officials from Hyde Park since 1950 have had both University connections and independent political convictions. They include State Representatives Robert E. Mann (MBA 1953, JD 1956) and Barbara Flynn Currie (AB 1968, AM 1973), State Senator Richard Newhouse (JD 1961), Congresswoman Emily Taft Douglas (wife of Paul Douglas and daughter of Lorado Taft, PhB 1919), and Aldermen Robert Merriam (son of Charles, AM 1940), Abner Mikva (later congressman, JD 1951), Leon Despres (PhB 1927, JD 1929), Lawrence Bloom (AB 1965, JD 1968), and Toni Preckwinkle (AB 1969, MAT 1977).
Chicago's good-government organizations, especially the Independent Voters of Illinois (IVI), have long found support from within the University community for their challenges to Chicago's machine politics. The Fifth Ward Committee, an IVI affiliate in the 1950s, was headed by a board of forty-three directors, twenty-one of whom were associated in some way with the University. From the election of Robert Merriam in 1947 and Leon Despres in 1955 to the present, nonmachine candidates have achieved repeated success in Hyde Park and helped sustain the distinctive political culture of the University and its community.

Despite cold in the low 20s along with strong, biting gusts that stung exposed skin, dozens of gun rights activists, many openly carrying rifles and holstered handguns, gathered peaceably in front of the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus Sunday to show their commitment to the Second Amendment.
The rally, which began at noon, was part of a broader effort coordinated by Gun Rights Across America, which urged activists to hold rallies at state capitals throughout the nation.
Rally supporters, which grew to around 100 during the time Gun Rights Examiner was there, had the forum to themselves -- no counter-protestors had made their presence known by the time this correspondent left around 1 p.m, although there was a visible police car presence. The only "Authorized Journalist" media noticed was a cameraman from WBNS 10TV, who took some crowd shots and then left. No on-scene reporters were there to conduct interviews and solicit opinions during the time this correspondent was in attendance.*
Dave Noice of Ohioans for Concealed Carry got the formal part of the gathering underway by introducing invited speaker Don Shrader, Chairman of the Constitution Party of Ohio, who told the crowd about his group's efforts and talked about their commitment to the Second Amendment.**
Per a post by Noice on Facebook after the event, other grassroots groups with a presence at the rally included "Central Ohio Carry, Ohio Carry, Northeast Ohio Carry [and] Southwest Ohio Carry. We were all there in force!"
But it was a peaceable force, full of warm camaraderie that offset the bitter cold. As is the rule with such gatherings, those in attendance conducted themselves as safely and responsibly at the rally as they make a disciplined practice of doing in everyday life.
*UPDATE: Evidently there was some coverage of the event from 10TV that I either did not witness or that happened after I left.
**UPDATE: Per Noice, "The second speaker we had today was Max Erwin."
If you're a regular Gun Rights Examiner reader and believe it provides news and perspectives you won't find in the mainstream press, please subscribe to this column and help spread the word by sharing links, promoting it on social media like Facebook (David Codrea) and Twitter (@dcodrea), and telling your like-minded friends about it. And for more commentary, be sure to visit "The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance."
When your turn to be tested comes, how will you fare? Wouldn't it be better to stop the antis before they get that far? How can we, if most gun owners let a relative handful of activists do all the work? The latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column is online, and you can read it before the issue hits the stands.

By Monica Lee
Historically, powerful linemen and Washington's hard-hitting offense have allowed the Huskies to excel at the running back position. Pete Taggares III, yearly rushing leader from 1971 to 1973, exemplifies the meaning of being a Husky.
As a young boy, Taggares, an Othello, Wash., native, was determined to be a Dawg. When Taggares was about 10 years old, his second cousin, Mike Kuklenski, introduced him to Husky football. Kuklenski was a running back at UW in 1962 and 1963.
"He came over one summer to stay with us on our farm," Taggares said. "He had this list of all the workouts the University of Washington had sent him to do.
"I watched him and got intrigued by what he was doing."
After that visit, Taggares got hooked on the Huskies.
"I remember listening to [Husky] games from when I was 10, 11 years old on the radio," Taggares said. "My mom would let me stay up since they ran the replays of the University of Washington the week after on Thursday at like 10:30, 11 at night.
"I always wanted to listen to those games."
His favorite Dawgs were halfback Charlie Mitchell (1960, '61, '62) and College Football Hall of Fame linebacker Rick Redman (1962, '63, '64).
Taggares and his father, Pete Taggares Jr., met head coach Jim Owens at the Sun Valley Lodge in Sun Valley, Idaho – the same coach he would eventually play for. Washington had just finished first in the Pac-8 and competed in the 1964 Rose Bowl.
"My dad went up to [Owens] and said, 'My son, he's going to play for the Huskies,'" Taggares remembers. "And Owens was a nice guy – he probably heard that a lot. He goes, 'Well, that's good. We'll be happy to have you.'
"Ever since then, when I started playing football, there was no doubt in my mind I always wanted to play for the U."
The future Dawg began playing football in the eighth grade. By the time he was a senior, nearly every school on the West coast along with some Ivy League schools had recruited him to play football.
"I got some opportunities from some Ivy Leagues, but I never really took those very seriously," said Taggares. "I wanted to be a Husky. It was just the formality that if they wanted me, I was going to play there."
In 1970, Taggares left the small town of Othello for the city to play under the same coach he met in Sun Valley as a boy.
He was forced to redshirt his freshman season with a medial collateral ligament tear. But the running back never gave up on his dream to play for the Huskies.
"A lot of players that have this kind of injury never come back," Taggares said. "They never play again, but I wanted it so bad that I worked hard on my rehabilitation and I already had it in my mind that if I got hurt again, I was going to play again."
His determination allowed him to return to the field and become the rushing leader as a sophomore. He had 102 attempts for 401 yards and five touchdowns. He ended the season with 520 yards and six touchdowns.
The 1971 Apple Cup victory marked Taggares' top single-game performance in rushing yards with 118 yards.
In his junior year, Taggares played the best football of his career. As the year's scoring leader, he had 11 touchdowns, rushed for 450 yards, and had 27 receptions for 335 yards.
Taggares' favorite, and arguably best game, is homecoming at Husky Stadium against No. 8 UCLA on Nov. 11, 1972.
"We won that game on homecoming and just the ambiance of it being homecoming, a big crowd, and UCLA being ranked high makes that my favorite game," Taggares said.
The junior scored all four UW touchdowns in the 30-21 triumph over the ranked Bruins. It is the fourth-highest number of rushing touchdowns in a game in UW history.
Washington's big comeback win at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Ind., versus No. 15 Purdue is another game that sticks out in Taggares' mind.
"We were down 21-0," Taggares reminisced. "We kicked a field goal at the end of the game to beat them 22-21. The jubilation of the players, the happiness in the locker room, and seeing everyone jump up and down on the sideline -- that was an exciting moment as a player."
The running back also recorded an impressive 64-yard reception from All-America quarterback Sonny Sixkiller for a touchdown in the 1972 Apple Cup.
Senior year, Taggares was invited to play in the 1973 Blue-Gray All Star Classic held in Montgomery, Ala., on Christmas Day. He was also awarded the 101 Club Scholarship Award, given annually to the top scholar-athlete.
The former Husky running back now resides in Kennewick, Wash., with his wife, Sandy. He is semi-retired, farming, tending to his orchard in the Tri-Cities, and staying in shape.
He has two children, Pete IV and Jessica, who both graduated from UW.
"They bleed the purple and gold. They both love the Huskies," he beamed.
"Their kids are going to be Huskies too. I can tell you that."
The elder Taggares has infant twin grandchildren, Pete V and Lexington.
Taggares is extremely grateful to be chosen as tonight's Husky Legend.
"That was the best time, probably, in my life," Taggares said. "It means everything to me and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
"This is just the frosting on the cake. Getting the opportunity to be honored like this in front of my family and friends is a great thing for me and I'm very appreciative of it."

The Oregon men's basketball team begins head coach Dana Altman's latest chemistry project today with the first official practice of the 2013-14 season.
Coming off a Sweet Sixteen run last spring, the Ducks welcome eight newcomers to the roster, including D-I transfers Mike Moser, Jason Calliste and Joseph Young, and freshmen Jordan Bell and A.J. Lapray. Young, a transfer from Houston, is awaiting word on an appeal to the NCAA regarding his eligibility for this season.
The Ducks will also account for the graduation of E.J. Singler, Arsalan Kazemi and company with a junior college class that includes forwards Richard Amardi and Elgin Cook, and guard Jalil Abdul-Bassit.
"We've got a lot of guys that can contribute, a lot of guys who can step forward and provide good minutes," Altman said. "We just need everybody to play together and work hard."
Altman's returners include point guards Jon Loyd and Dominic Artis, wing Damyean Dotson and forwards Ben Carter and Waverly Austin. Altman said today Carter will be slowed by a sprained ankle at the outset of practices.
Given the presence of Loyd, Artis and Dotson, the Ducks will primarily field a three-guard lineup in 2013-14, Altman said. With all the newcomers, Altman said having two veteran point guards in Loyd and Artis will be critical.
"We're going to depend on them early to kind of set the tone," Altman said.
The five returning scholarship veterans, who are joined by walk-on guard Nick Lucenti, could form a workable starting five. But Altman said their experience won't dictate the lineup he fields for Oregon's opener Nov. 8 against Georgetown at Camp Humphreys, South Korea.
"That's the advantage," Altman said of their experience. "But over six weeks, it's pretty open. If someone's playing better, it's equal opportunity."
Prior to the opener in South Korea, Oregon will host two exhibition games, Oct. 27 and Nov. 2.

A pair of girls hockey players from the St. Louis Park Orioles participated in the 2014 USA International Hockey Cup July 17-20 at the Schwan's Super Rink in Blaine.
Molly Arntson, a recent Oriole graduate who will be headed for Ohio State in the fall and Elena Basill were members of the Minnesota Nordiques that took fourth place in the 19U Tier 1 Division.
The Nordiques faced the Hailstorm in their opening round robin game on the 18th and Arntson and Basill scored a goal to lead them to a 5-0 shut out. But the Nordiques weren't done that day. They played a second game against OS Metro Selects Orange and came up short 4-2.
There was good news for Nordiques fans on Saturday when they headed into medal round play with a 9-1 drubbing of the East Metro Devils. Thought the two St. Louis Park players didn't enter th scoring column, the Nordiques got a game high four goals from Wayzata's Kaitlyn Klein.
It was on to medal round play for the Nordiques later in the day as they faced the Polar Xpress in the semifinals. Unfortunately, the Nordiques came up empty as they were shut out 4-0.
The Nordiques would wrap up tournament play on the 20th against the Lake Superior Stars in the third place game. They would get the early lead as Basill would set up the opening goal from Paige Johnson. Reilly Fawcett would tie the game on a power play goal with 3:25 left in the first period.
In the second period the Nordiques wouldforge ahead on goals from Crystal Sorem and Mackenzie Hietala. But the Stars bounced back with two in the third as Fawcett scored a power play goal :07 into the period and Alexis Joyce sent the game into overtime with 3:09 in regulation.
There would be no t-shirts for the Nordiques due to Alexia Klaas' goal :49 into overtime to clinch third place for Lake Superior.

Brady Williams and his five wives have a lot to say after sharing their lives with the viewers all season. Paulie, Robyn, Rosemary, Nonie and Rhonda give a candid assessment of TLC's "My Five Wives: Tell All" slated for Sunday night on the season finale. The reunion show gives the cast a chance to talk about the season and review some of the issues that were shared in hopes to give fans more details. According to HitFix on Friday, fans shouldn't expect this to be a Maury Povich type reunion as there is far more sharing than attacking.
The episode is hosted by Tamron Hall with the family watching some of the segments and commenting on how things turned out. If the sneak peek of Rosemary discussing years of hurt feelings over Paulie stealing her husband time with Brady is typical of the show, the fans are going to hear details, but no drama. It seems the issue was resolved privately and life moved on. Hall tries to provoke the cast, but it's interesting to watch as the family is a unit and Tamron fails (and looks very frustrated in the process.)
As fans have watched Brady Williams and his 24 kids over the season, there has been an interesting dynamics of family life to be discovered. Whatever the issue whether Rhonda's health and the current family activities, the adults come together and are a real family. As they probably already are unmercifully attacked by people to poke holes in their lifestyle and told things that aren't too kind, it might be impossible to imagine a brawl with these folks in the first place.
"My Five Wives" has given fans a look at the life of a large family and offered up another reason to respect the reality show family. Opening their home up to critics, the Williams family has stayed strong.
"My Five Wives: Tell All" airs Sunday at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.

College Hockey:Boston College moves up to second in men's poll
Another week and another No. 1 ranking for Yale in the USCHO.com Division I Men's Poll.
After that, though, and teams are moving around.
Boston College is the new No. 2, also receiving four first place votes, up from No. 3 a week ago, while Denver is up one spot to No. 3. North Dakota drops from No. 2 to No. 4 and Minnesota-Duluth maintains the fifth spot.
Michigan stays at No. 6, as does New Hampshire at No. 7. Wisconsin is now at No. 8, flip-flopping with Notre Dame, and Rensselaer rises four spots to No. 10.
Miami remains the 11th-ranked team, followed by Maine at No. 12, down two spots, Union down one to No. 13, Merrimack down one to No. 14 and Nebraska-Omaha, up one notch to No. 15.
Boston University falls one place to No. 16, Western Michigan stays No. 17, as does No. 18 Dartmouth. Princeton climbs to No. 19 from No. 20, where Colorado College now rounds out this week's poll.

- It_Just_Doesnt_Matter
Let the whining commence!
- Danny
- SiouxAlumDenver
I think we are seeing the top 6 teams emerge. An argument can be made for each of them to be number 1. The playoffs can't come soon enough!
- EagleinBoston
Finally pollsters have seen the light on BC. Posted the other day and the UND fans, even though the voters say UND isn't number 1 will still argue about their SOS. Fine, we're the national champions and are focused on winning again. You focus on your strength of schedule and keep cutting and pasting statistics.
- SiouxAlumDenver
Who is "we"? Are you saying the players on the team are focused on winning and not on SOS? Because I am pretty sure EVERY team is focused on winning and not what is said on message boards about them. The people who post here debate issues and rankings for fun, we don't impact the games. Players and coaches could care less. And BC does not look stronger than last year. Just like every team in the top 6, they have lost some very winnable games. And just like the other top 6 teams, when they put together 60 minutes, they look unbeatable. Like I said earlier, a case can be made for any of the top 6 to be number 1 right now.
- John
Every team loses winnable games. But when BC wants to turn it on, watch out. Look at the tournament last year and the BU sweep this year
- guest
Good thing that BC doesn't want "to turn it on" for an entire season then. I didn't know teams picked and choosed when to "turn it on."
- John
Seriously? You honestly think that BC plays with the same intensity against a mediocre team in November as they play in the national championship game or against their arch-rival?
- Steve
BC looks just as good, if not better, than last year
- John
I think BC will repeat again, with the toughest competition coming from Yale or Merrimack in the tournament
- http://ndgoon.blogspot.com Goon
Yeah I suppose there won't be any competiton from teams out west eh? Give it a rest.
- John
for sure. I hope BC ends up playing UND. That would be a great game
- EagleinBoston
Like the old Saturday Night Live skit, Ditka 9 UND 0. I mean BC 6 Sioux 1
- LincolnJim
I think the USA poll which has UMD ahead of UND is probably more accurate. Especially the trend of the last couple of weeks you don't get the feeling the Sioux are at the top of the conference. UNO absolutely destroyed them on the power play Friday. Ran outta gas Saturday but things looked good for 40
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_KBVOP7JEIJTGTBGPEMTI67KVLU J
the sioux destroyed the bulldogs a few weeks ago so i think the polls are fine
- Anonymous
I would have to say that UNO deserved to win on Friday against UND. They came out flying and are by far the fastest team I have seen in years and played more physically then the Sioux in the 1st which is hard to do. If it weren't for some stupid penalties (Hextall) and some pretty weak calls by the refs in the 2nd on UND and on UNO in the 3rd we would have saw one of the best games of the year in my mind. Saturday the refs actually let the teams play for once and it turned out to be a great game. Props to UNO's goalie Faulkner for making some huge saves against the Sioux.
- http://ndgoon.blogspot.com Goon
Yeah! Huh! I guess you missed the part where UND destroyed UMD on 12/30/2010 5-0 in their new building.
- Jetpants
I tend to agree with Lincoln – when you look at overall winning percentage – UMD is higher. Sioux fans are very passionate, and sometimes passion clouds the vision. Also – UMD doesn't get a lot of press, so they're easily overlooked in the polls. Which is fine, flying under the radar is sometimes better. Eitherway – this will be settled in the playoffs. Unless something drastic happens – these two teams will see eachother in the WCHA playoffs, and if the hockey gods smile on our favorite teams, again in the NCAA tourney. Go 'Dogs!
- Wolverine2001
think Rocco might recommit to Michigan?
- MiamiRules
um, you don't get admitted to Michigan with a 720 SAT
- Kevin
Simply remarkable what is happening at Merrimack. Love that little rink they play in. How do you measure heart and desire? Go see a game at Merrimack.
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_KBVOP7JEIJTGTBGPEMTI67KVLU J
i saw them when they played at north dakota last year. that Da Costa guy has alot of potential as well as that merrimack team
- BulldogBlue
that assumes North Dakota can make it that far with their group of plummeting underachievers who major in hockey and minor in connect the dots artwork to get their degrees
- UNDalumCHITOWN
Here we go again with the Yale faithfuls/hopefuls antagonizing.
- BulldogBlue
actually read the post from J and it's a response to that. Wouldn't expect you to have any attention to detail
- UNDalumCHITOWN
His post was a positive remark about Merrimack. Yours was a bunch of ignorant BS about North Dakota. Your random stab had nothing to do with his comment therefore not a response but good try little guy.
- http://ndgoon.blogspot.com Goon
I agree there is no award for having the number one ranking in a meaningless poll in Jan…

I agree there is no award for having the number one ranking in a meaningless poll in Jan…
And yet you whine about Yale ad nauseam.
- John
why are the UND fans complaining about Yale? If I remember correctly Yale ended ND's season last year.
- Please_Go_Away_Until_March
Pot calling the kettle black.
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_KBVOP7JEIJTGTBGPEMTI67KVLU J
looks like yale will be the number one seed and probably be in the championship but i hope the sioux can meet them there and destroy them lol
- HEhockey
Merrimack is lookin good. I would love to see them in the tournament his year. So far they are the only team to take 2/3 against BC. Liking Hockey East's chances this year.
- UNDalumCHITOWN
I still think it would be great to see some sort of round robin holiday tournament in which the top 5 or 6 teams play each other. Have the games count as exhibition as to not influence standings or rankings.
- John
that would be pretty cool
- BulldogBlue
agreed, but Ivy League rules prohibit a team from playing more than 27 games I believe, and also you have a limit on your roster for away games at about 22 players, so it might mean having to have a policy exception from them, which is unlikely. It kind of puts Yale's recent prominence in extra distinction and why previous good performances by Harvard and Cornell were impressive.
- Hockey876
It's a 29 game limit in the regular season which works out to 22 ECAC games and 7 out of conference.
- Where Eagles Dare
we all know BC presses the magic button in March, though, admittedly, I worry each year. We'll see if Jerry has them clicking on all cylinders when the real season begins, as he usual does…
- Switzerland
I don't think Yale will go in as a 1 seed and I will bet against them in the first round of the tourney. Yale will be lucky to get out of this weekend with a win since their faithful have been talking about how union and Rensselear are wins that should help them in the pairwise. Yale takes a loss this weekend to another perennial power
- ThetruthaboutUND
Hey UND troll, nice try. What a loser. First off you spelled Rensselaer wrong, and every Yale fan on the site has been defending the strength of the ECAC. Why don't you go back and worry about whether or not the fourth Hansen brother, Frattin, will go back to Lucy's Tavern after the next home weekend split and brawl again?
- Switzerland
Yale still doesn't get the 1 seed overall. They will lose this weekend to one of their fellow EZAC bottom dwellers. Can't wait to here it next week how you are defending that union is a NCAA Title contender and has four hobey baker canidates. Tell me something Truth, when was the last time Yale played a team worth talking about. You will probably come up with something like Dartmouth or even Brown since they beat you but they hockey world would say early December if any for the year.
- TheTruthAboutUND
smoked you out you troll. HAH. Aren't you the least bit embarrassed? Typical UND grad or student. Leave it to them to get caught on just trying to stir the pot. First off, RPI and Union are ranked in the top 20 and despite the fact that you UND plains dwellers think you're the center of the universe, the polls are just that — opinions of experts in the field, e.g., hockey coaches. There isn't a single Yale fan who expects Yale to be first. They hope, but they don't expect. They don't expect them to win the NCAA, but they're optimistic they'll do well. At UND, if they don't win the national title, you have nothing. Zero. Empty season. Back to work at the farm or oil rig where the main thing is not losing an arm because you're bored to death, on crystal meth or suffering from the interminable guilt of knowing that the Mandans, Hidatsa, Dakota and Nakota and Assiniboine where killed off by your grandparents and now you won't even share any of the new oil money with the tribes. For shame. Switzerland, you picked the right name. Just like the country that turned a blind eye to the Germans. Nice
- A_Modest_Proposal
A series of modest proposals:
Every year, North Dakota shall be the preseason number 1.
In every poll thereafter through the end of the conference playoffs North Dakota shall be number 1.
If by chance North Dakota is not already number 1 in KRACH, RPI, and the Pairwise the method of calculating these numbers shall all be adjusted such that North Dakota is number 1.
We will not adjust the WCHA standings so it is possible North Dakota will have to travel for a playoff series. In this event North Dakota shall receive two extra travel days. However, if they split the first two games North Dakota will be declared the winner of the series so that they will never be in a situation where they have to play 6 games in 10 days. Should this series take place in Colorado or Alaska their opponent will be forced to change their clocks to match the Central Time Zone.
North Dakota will be forced to travel to the Final Five. Sorry.
North Dakota will always be placed in the West Region – as the number 1 seed, naturally. In the event they still have to travel to the regional they will be given travel days to acclimate. Their opponents shall arrive five minutes before the puck is dropped. Also, in the event that North Dakota's opponent has not played the same number of games in the preceding 10 days they will be required to play "make up" games prior to taking the ice against North Dakota. The opponent will be the nearest available NHL team. Additional games will be played if North Dakota's opponent has not reached a Strength of Schedule equal to that of North Dakota. Opponents will be chosen randomly from the top five WCHA regular season standings.
Now, on to the Regional!
North Dakota shall be given a one period "mulligan". That is, in the event they play a poor period they will have the opportunity to void that period and play another.
In the event North Dakota does not advance to the Frozen Four the regional shall be declared void and played over a maximum of three times at which point North Dakota shall be declared the winner.

Yale just crapped all over there number one rank this weekend. Bye bye number 1 for the season. Maybe your skills will be tested this weekend against more bottom feeders. Hold on to your hopes of a 1 seed. Tell us some facts about Yales NCAA tourney record.

Rating: R
Duration: 1hr 35min
Mob boss Paul Vitti is nearing the end of his term in Sing Sing, and the FBI agents monitoring him are baffled. Day after day they watch as New York's most notorious gangland figure walks around his cell in a semi-catatonic stupor, occasionally breaking into songs from West Side Story. Is Vitti having a nervous breakdown because of recent threats on his life by a rival family, or is his odd behavior merely a foxy ploy to get him sprung from jail early? The FBI isn't sure, and neither is his former psychotherapist Ben Sobel, who gets called in to consult on the case. The last time Sobel treated Vitti, he tried to get to the source of his debilitating anxiety attacks, but barely scratched the surface. It will take time to examine the demons still lurking in Vitti's mind and help put him on the straight and narrow--time that Sobel doesn't want to give. The truth is, Sobel has problems of his own. His father has just died, plunging him into an identity crisis in both his personal and professional lives. Furthermore, he knows his wife Laura will be furious if he allows the unpredictable Vitti back into their lives. But when Vitti is granted a conditional release into Sobel's care and custody, becoming his patient again and--even worse--his houseguest, the reluctant psychiatrist finds that he has no choice. In order to get peace back in his life he must help the troubled gangster sort out his psyche, find gainful employment and go straight--which proves easier said than done.

"Hi, I'm so-and-so. I sell cars." This actually happened to me at a recent business luncheon.
What's wrong with this intro? It's shorter to list "what's right." The listener immediately knows the person's name and they know what she does for a living. That's it. Conversation stopper.
Effective Networking
The goal of effective networking is to meet new business professionals who have the potential of becoming either customers or referral partners. In order to accomplish that goal, you need to engage them in a conversation and actually learn something about them, about their business and about their target client. You can't do business with them or refer them to someone who needs their services unless you know what they do.
The goal of effective networking is accomplished by asking someone what they do for a living. Listen to their answers and continue the conversation with clarifying questions; be genuinely interested.
When it is your turn. . .
When someone asks you what you do for a living, respond with something fun, curiosity generating, or at least conversation generating. The statement "I sell cars" does not generate any curiosity, fun or even an easy opening for more conversation. It is a one-and-done statement.
Another example is "I help you attract and engage your ideal client." That statement opens the door for effective networking. The listener is probably an entrepreneur who would be eager to attract and engage more of their ideal clients. The frequent response is, "How do you do that?" or "Tell me more." In any case, the door is open for continuing the conversation.
Your opening words present an opportunity to further the relationship. Engage in an actual conversation; tell them a brief story of how you helped solve a problem for one of your clients. They will give you clues through their questions of what aspect of your business is most pertinent to them.
Follow up
Part of effective networking is to follow up with your new acquaintances after the event. Schedule a time for a coffee chat to develop the relationship. At the very least, be courteous enough to send a follow up email letting them know you enjoyed speaking with them; if at all possible, include a statement which lets them know you do actually know and remember them. Sometimes I have included a reference to the person who introduced us.
The fortune is in the follow up. Effective networking requires an ongoing relationship. Touch base occasionally to remain "top of mind" for them and to let them know you remember them.
Summing it up
Look the person in the eye and truly listen and respond to them. The goal is to learn more about the person and form a new relationship which can be mutually beneficial.
You've experienced "grab-your-card-and-go," conversation stoppers and "eyes darting around the room seeking an escape route" networkers. Set the high bar for effective networking.

The Wadsworth girls basketball team doesn't wait for a made shot to apply full-court pressure. It's a good thing, too, because the Grizzlies weren't making much of anything Tuesday in the early stages of their Division I regional semifinal against Magnificat.
Defense is a constant, though, and it often turns into offense for Wadsworth, which is why the Grizzlies eventually rolled to a 46-27 victory over the Blue Streaks.
"I think playing defense is better than playing offense," said backup guard Hannah Centea, who played a ton of the former. "Defense wins the game."
Wadsworth's offense was beyond horrific in the first quarter, when the Grizzlies made just 1-of-15 shots. Defense, though, kept Andrew Booth's club within 10-6.
Upping its traditional full-court pressure another notch in the second quarter, Wadsworth pitched a shutout, outscoring the Blue Streaks 14-0 to go up 20-10 at halftime.
The outcome was never really in doubt after that, as Magnificat became the fifth tournament opponent to fall victim to the deep and relentless Grizzlies, who are giving up an average of 28.2 points in the postseason as they head into a Norwalk Regional final Saturday at 1:30 p.m. against Toledo Notre Dame Academy.
"Defense was the key to this game," said starting shooting guard McKenzie O'Brien, who led all scorers with 15 points. "Even when our shots weren't falling, we were able to stop them."
Again, that's because the Grizzlies, unlike most teams, don't rely on a made shot to apply pressure.
"Our philosophy is we're going to pressure you make, miss or turnover," Booth said. "As a coach, one of my biggest thrills is when we get a 10-second violation after we've committed a turnover, and we did that twice tonight."
There's no great secret to what Wadsworth does — and it does it virtually every game, every season.
The Grizzlies require all five players to be able to defend all over the court — a loss against extremely talented and big Fairmont at the Classic in the Country was the one time Wadsworth played a lot of zone this season — and all must be aware of what the others are doing.
If an opposing player has the ball and is traveling at what Booth calls "a high rate of speed," the Grizzlies incorporate what they call a "run-and-jump," which is basically a double-team that requires that player to make a snap decision.
It often works against pretty good point guards, but it is downright deadly when a player who isn't used to handling the ball has to make that decision.
"Our goal is to make you transition 94 feet on every possession vs. pressure," Booth said. "We want five kids who can defend, because most teams don't have two very good ballhandlers, let alone five."
Even when a team beats Wadsworth's pressure — heck, even when it beats the pressure and scores — the Grizzlies still look at it as getting the game played at their tempo.
That's because the Grizzlies play a lot of kids, and what might work for the opposition in the first quarter usually works less in the second and even less in the third, if Wadsworth hasn't already blown the game open by then and called off the dogs.
Tired players, mentally and physically, start throwing passes here, there and everywhere. When they do manage to execute the pass and catch, they are often so tired and playing at a pace so much faster than normal that they miss short jumpers or layups.
Then they drop their head in disgust for a second and the Grizzlies, who transition from defense to offense as well as any team in the area, start sailing in for easy layups.
"If we play zone because a team is big, we're still going to get killed inside because we don't trot any 6-footers out there," Booth said. "We're better off playing our style."
There aren't a lot of hard, set rules, but the Grizzlies consider O'Brien, Centea and Haley Hassinger their best full-court, on-ball defenders. Point guard and reigning Gazette MVP Rachel Goddard is no slouch, either, but Booth likes to start with O'Brien or Hassinger defending the opposing point guard because Goddard has a ton of responsibilities at the offensive end.
Pseudo center Taylore Robinson and backup bigs Sabrina Parsons and Jodi Johnson usually have to read the pressure being applied in front of them and decide when it is right to "run and jump," though one of them frequently applies the initial pressure after missed shots.
Peyton Booth, arguably the smartest player on a team full of very smart players, functions a lot like Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed in that she is often the player who reads the entire court and leaves her man to intercept what is frequently a hastily and poorly thrown pass.
Most important of all, though, is that all five players on the floor are capable of performing all the various roles, and that each one trusts that the other four are doing their job.
"Communication is the biggest key," Centea said. "You make a decision on what you are going to do, and you have to rely on trust. We have each others' backs."
While the competition hasn't been the greatest to this point, the tournament results speak for themselves.
Barberton went 12-for-40 from the field (.300) and committed 31 turnovers while losing 80-31.
Akron Garfield went 7-for-35 (.200) with 31 turnovers while losing 88-16.
Cloverleaf went 6-for-35 (.171) with 41 turnovers while losing 81-20.
Highland went 16-for-46 (.348) with 29 turnovers while losing 91-47.
Magnificat went 10-for-30 (.333) with 25 turnovers and lost by 19 after leading by four at the end of the first quarter.
Next up is a much better Notre Dame Academy team in the regional final at Norwalk High. The Eagles beat Wadsworth in the regional title game a year ago, but the Grizzlies will make only minor tweaks, if any, to their basic defensive approach.
"Our philosophy is based on the belief that we have more depth than you do," Booth said. "It's hard for other teams when you keep bringing in fresh kids and keep staying after them every possession.
"We run in eight, nine, 10 kids and try to get the opponent playing as fast as possible. For most teams, that's eventually going to cause trouble."

Former WWE and TNA wrestler Matt Hardy and his wife Reby Sky was arrested earlier this month at Virginia hotel, after a fight according to a report posted today by TMZ. In the mug shots posted by the gossip site, both Hardy and Sky appear as if they have been in a very physical altercation.
The report also featured a 911 call from the hotel staff who responded to the brawl. The brawl took place early on New Year's Day around 6 AM and the couple was arrested for assault and battery. They were released on $3,500. The couple has obtained restraining orders against each other.
Since the incident the couple has posted photos on social media with each other posed together and they appear to be getting a long just fine.
Matt Hardy and Reby Sky who also wrestles on the independent circuit, have not issued any public statements about this situation.
Pro Wrestling Examiner's Perspective: This story is not a positive one obviously for Hardy who has been through a lot challenging personal issues in the past few years including a series of arrests related to DWI charges, a stint in rehab, and a controversial video he posted on his popular Youtube channel that alluded to suicide. Hardy is currently wrestling on the independent circuit and is a featured performer with Ring of Honor Wrestling. Hardy wrestled this past Saturday for ROH, tagging with ROH World Champion Adam Cole in a 3-team Elimination Match.

This month's copy of Tailgater Magazine includes a ranking of the top 20 tailgating schools. You can read the full article here with snippets about each school. People love to complain about the top tailgating lists,and I certainly have my issues with this one. But to me, you can only rank what you've experienced. Which means only a handful of people in the nation can really create a definitely list. In my opinion there are three aspects that should be ranked. Size, Uniqueness, and the actual Game. Any campus that isn't jam packed with tailgaters gets pushed down. You need a unique food, tradition, or setting. And finally, the game needs to mean something. The stadium, the competition, everything must be an event. So many years from now when I've crossed off 20-30 campuses, I'll present my thorough list. Until now, settle for Tailgater Magazine's:
19 Georgia
18 Penn State
17 Colorado
16 Michigan
15 Oklahoma
14 Arkansas
13 Texas
12 Wisconsin
11 Alabama
10 Oregon
09 Auburn
08 Notre Dame
06 Tennessee
05 Ohio State
04 Washington
03 Clemson
02 Florida
01 Ole Miss

Texas is on a roll. Through these last years of economic downturn, the Lone Star State has taken its hits, but fared better than most. And that's not by accident. It's due to public policies that often at least attempt an ideological approach compatible with limited government and economic freedom principles.
In conjunction with a ranking of top Texas cities on the rise, NerdWallet.com offers this analysis of Texas' overall economic outlook:
In business, population and income, there's no doubt that Texas is on the rise. Texas experienced more high-paying job growth than the rest of the country over the last 13 years, according to new research from the Dallas Federal Reserve. The state has also been the top domestic immigration destination in the country since 2006, the Fed found. Businesses are coming to Texas in droves, hiring new employees and raising salaries for existing workers. Because of the migration and job growth, the Dallas-San Antonio-Austin economy now produces more than $700 billion in economic output per year, ranking among the biggest 25 economies in the world, according to an analysis from the Martin Prosperity Institute.
With examining growth in population, employment and income from 2009 to 2012, the site compiled this "Top 10 Cities on the Rise" list:
- The Woodlands
- Mansfield
- Del Rio
- Big Spring
- Schertz
- University Park
- College Station
- Mission
- Greenville
- Nacagdoches

Klim is a Technical RealityTuesday, September 10th, 2013
We had our annual Boondockers Backpacking trip a couple weeks ago to our customary location, The Wind River Range right next to Pinedale, Wyoming. We even added an extra day to our trip and we we're still left wanting a longer exposure to the magnificent country. Now that we have some backpacking experience and our share of unfavorable journeys logged in the books, we're consistently evaluating the opportunity cost of the gear and food we pack in.....
