Mike McKinzie, a 55-year-old San Jose general contractor, decided to take a much-needed vacation with his 3-year-old son Matthew over the Christmas holidays. This short-trip ended up costing him $5,000 in cash. McKinzie had just been paid cash for a deck project in Hillsborough (near San Francisco) all in $100 bills, folded over and rubber-banded together.
The reason I had that much cash on me, McKinzie explained, is because Im paranoid and thought the safest place to keep it was in my pants pocket. I kept checking my pocket routinely to make sure the money was still there, and noticed it was gone on Christmas Day.
McKinzie and his son checked in to the Yosemite South Gate Inn in Oakhurst on Christmas Eve. The next day, he drove to Yosemite National Park, where he hiked, while carrying his son, to Lower Yosemite Falls. I know I had the cash on the hike up the Falls, Im just not sure I had it on the hike down.
Hungry from spending the day hiking and playing in the snow, McKinzie returned to Oakhurst with Matthew and began looking for a spot to eat. He had planned on eating at Dennys initially, but once seated inside, Matthew became very restless and fidgety so McKinzie decided to try elsewhere. Thats when he discovered the cash was gone.
The bad economy has made life very difficult financially for McKinzie. I was right on the edge of financial recovery, he continued, and now, this loss is breaking me. It came at such a bad time. Im really not in a financial position to recoup it. I was able to get the lumber on credit, and my employees are willing to advance their labor, but I will have to pay this some time.
A single dad, who spends long days at work leaving him little time to spend with his son, had wanted Matthew to experience Yosemite. However, very upset over this substantial loss, McKinzie returned to his motel room, packed and checked out early because he needed to get that money back and right then, the only way was to get back to work. The anguish in his voice came through loud and clear as he recounted his brief stay in Oakhurst and trip to Yosemite. Matthew took to Yosemite like a tadpole-to-a-pond. He jumped from rock-to-rock, played in the snow, so it was still a great trip and a memorable experience, and I will return to the area.
While he is hopeful the cash will be turned in, McKinzie said, material things like money come and go. The human parts of life like memories are non-replaceable.
McKinzie has filed a report with the Madera County Sheriffs Department and with Yosemite National Park. Anyone who finds this cash can contact the sheriffs department at (559) 658-2555 or call McKinzie directly at (408) 510-4797.

Captured with muscle and blood by Joseph's longtime trio The Jackmormons, Happy Book presents Jerry Joseph & The Jackmormons at their most diverse and confident; it's a record with a wide swing that dexterously moves from whisper closeness to Technicolor expansiveness.

When Bali has lost its Balinese aura, is it still called the Island of Bali? When it has lost the cultural aura, the nature is damaged, the population is no longer friendly, degradation occurs in various fields, is Bali still worth calling the Island of the Gods?
Actually these are not new questions. I did not know they came to my mind after I met with General Manager of Maca Villas & Spa Bali, Agus Made Yoga Iswara. According to this native to Jimbaran, Bali had indeed started to lose its original identity by degrees. Further, the man who has worked in the hospitality field in Australia and the Maldives said that one of the causes was persistent exploitation to the island so that the social, cultural and natural balance began to be disrupted.
Again, what disclosed by Mr. Yoga, as he is affectionately known, is not something new. It has become a concern for many parties who really love Bali. Yoga himself admitted that what he revealed was a kind of repetition. It's the repetition to make many people vigilant and really understand what and how actually the condition of Bali is.
Yes, we do have to frequently remind because people easily forget if they are greedy for wealth and power. People can fall unconscious and turn arrogant. No exception Balinese people who at this point appear as policy makers. Necessarily, they have to stand on the position of pro Bali when having a dialogue with the officials of central government or investors. They should stand at the forefront in keeping Bali.
Unfortunately, it does not always happen. So, it is true what Mr. Yoga said that Bali must be head-to-head with other countries such as Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia in the ASEAN region. It is really a matchless comparison. Comparing a small island to great countries only in terms of quantity is truly unfair and dangerous.
Comparing Bali to those countries will tend to make Bali look like Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and so on. We have seen the evidence now. Bali is increasingly exploited. Original face starts not to look anymore. Many large projects are built. Everything is great like Megalomaniacal Bali. As their argument, they want to create a one-stop tourist destination. It is what they want. Then, what happens? The look of Bali is black-and-blue. "We have to keep reminding the government," said Mr. Yoga. Yes, that's right. Hopefully, they could understand.

AUTISM: Out of the Darkness Other Avenues #2
Many people are unaware of what autism is, however it is becoming more recognized since the disorder is on the rise. The movie "Rainman" introduced the public to autism and some of the unique challenges it brings.
KVCR-TV, a PBS affilicate for Southern California, produced this one-hour program highlighting some of the many therapies, interventions and medical options available for those living with this disorder. AUTISM OUT OF THE DARKNESS: OTHER AVENUES, was developed for parents, grandparents, caregivers, teachers, educators, the medical community and other professionals looking for options. The program does not advocate one therapy or intervention over another but merely provides alternatives and creates choices.
When a parent first receives a diagnosis from the medical community, often very little information is provide to the parents to what their next step should be. Many parents will delve into the subject and learn all they possibly can by searching the internet, attending conferences and seminars and grasping for all the information available. Other families, due to financial burden, child care responsibilities or other reasons, are not able to attend conferences and are not always as informed. This documentary is an effort on the part of KVCR-TV to follow its mission of education, making this information available to viewers.
The program was produced by a mother with an 8-year-old autistic son. She knows first hand the challenges, stress, frustrations and joys that come with raising an autistic child.
Autism is a neurological disorder that usually strikes in the first two years of life. It can cause severe impairment in language, cognition and communication. Other behaviors include lack of eye contact, lack of social interaction, repetitive behavior, a rigid need for routine, severe sensory dysregulation, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, and in many cases gastrointestinal symptoms. Half of all autistic children will never learn to speak.
Parents have come a long way and are making great strides with their children through early intervention programs. The key to battling this disorder is early detection. The earlier interventions are initiated the better the autistic child's outcome may be. Autism can be treated and a child with autism can learn.

Are you one in five of the uninsured Chicagoans that should enroll in Obamacare?
Provided that you can be counted in that number, pay attention: time is winding down. Open enrollment under the Affordable Care Act ends on March 31st.
As select community groups and partners push enrollment to the uninsured, some may not get the coverage they want when they need it. Get Covered Illinois, the Illinois Health Insurance Exchange is the main web site that is primarily promoted to Chicagoans, but it is not the only one. The Federal government offers another option.
Healthcare.gov is the Federal Health Insurance Exchange is the most popular insurance health insurance marketplace. Chicagoans can also enroll on that web site, but it will pull the plug on some parts of the application process this month. This may delay the effective date of coverage for some consumers.
Consumers that complete their health insurance applications before Feb.15 coverage will begin on March 1 regardless of which web site they use to enroll. Applications completed after Feb. 15 will have an effective date of April 1.
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) a scheduled outage to conduct annual systems maintenance activities will take place on Saturday, Feb. 15 at 3 p.m. EST until Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 5 a.m. EST.
Although Healthcare.gov will be online, consumers trying to complete their applications on the site may not receive an eligibility determination during those times. They are advised to save their application and log back onto Healthcare.gov after Feb. 18 to complete their applications for coverage.
Chicagoans that need assistance with enrollment can discuss their coverage options for free with trained enrollment counselors by calling 866.311.1119. They are available from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Licensed insurance agents or brokers that are registered with the Marketplace can also provide enrollment assistance and even assist with applying for financial help.
Get insured today: contact your local agent, call Get Covered Illinois of visit Healthcare.gov.

I am gaga over those floral pillows on the white sofa. Been looking for something like those for some time. (I really should learn to sew, huh?) The combo of styles in the dining room is so interesting, engaging and unexpected: gold-framed mirror, modern crystal lamps, traditional crystal chandy, bare wood, painted wood - MY kind of room!

Like Alexandra Vandernoot is to Hertz, so the Belgians are to the French. "We Try Harder" might well be the national motto, and the sentiment of going the extra distance is certainly evident in the work ethic of Brussels-born career actress Alexandra Vandernoot. American audiences are primarily aware of Alexandra as fair maiden Tessa Noel on the sword-swinging series Highlander, but the citizens of France know and fear Alexandra as the upstart maverick who bravely bares what prissy Parisian misses are too chicken to show. Alexandra's daring disrobings in L'Ange tombe du ciel (1999), Charmant garçon (2000), and Gangsters (2002) have French cineastes shaking in their boots–and she'll shiver your timbers, too.

The new players on the 14-man roster are Damian Saunders and Jason Ellis, while 7-foot-1 Lithuanian center Mindaugas Kupsas is no longer part of the summer team. Saunders played for the Miami Heat during the 2012 Summer League. With Kupsas no longer on the roster, 6-10 forward/centers D'or Fischer and Cameron Moore are the tallest players remaining on the team. ... When the Pelicans open the Summer League against the New York Knicks on Friday, rookie guard Tim Hardaway Jr., a former Michigan player who was selected 24th in the NBA draft; veteran guard/forward Iman Shumpert; and rookie forward C.J. Leslie will headline the Knicks' 13-man roster. ... Of the Pelicans' non-roster players, the 6-7, 255-pound forward Jon Brockman has the most NBA experience. Brockman spent last season overseas, but before that he was in the NBA for three consecutive years with Sacramento and Milwaukee. He is the University of Washington's all-time leading rebounder with 1,283 and the only player to lead UW in rebounding for four consecutive seasons. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

"We would never think of throwing away a Renoir, and saying this is not valid, or a pre-Columbian dog sculpture. Why in dance is this always a question? This is our history and legacy. We can tell so much about our history and memory and society by looking at a Petipa "Swan Lake," or a Baroque dance. (Whether ballet is irrelevant) is a moot question, but it will always be asked because we are dealing with an ethereal art form. People will pay millions of dollars to put an old painting on the wall, but we are always having to beg, borrow, and steal to mount one of these classics."
-- Mark Dendy
Welcome to the first ever Dance Insider Forum, in which we gather leaders of our community, serve them snacks, and with a tape recorder running, attempt to focus their discussion around a single topic. Our first participants were Christian Holder, a member of the Joffrey Ballet during its formative years who now choreographs, teaches, and designs costumes; Robin Hoffman, who danced with the Joffrey Ballet, Louisville Ballet, and Milwaukee Ballet before assuming her current post as in-house notator (Laban) at the Paul Taylor Dance Company; Ethan Stiefel, who now dances with American Ballet Theatre after notable stints at New York City Ballet and Zurich Ballet; and Paul Ben-Itzak, publisher of The Dance Insider. The panel was moderated by Veronica Dittman, a ballet and modern dancer who is, not coincidentally, the editor of The Dance Insider. The talk took place at The Dance Insider's Manhattan offices, which are located, completely coincidentally, just a few doors from the Greenwich Village Loft of the late Robert Joffrey.
Paul: Several presenters have told me recently that they think ballet is irrelevant, because most of the audience they see at their ballet events is older. They don't see enough young people. So I'm curious how each of you, as children, first became exposed to that world of dance, so that it pulled you away from the football game, or the television, or whatever?
Robin: Well, I saw it on TV.
Ethan: Growing up in Wisconsin, I would have had no clue if I hadn't had a sister. It deals with people's perceptions and education. When you don't have things presented to you, or you don't even know they exist, how can you know if you're interested or not?
Christian: You find that more in Europe; it's just part of life. Here it's spread out and you have your car and your house in the suburbs, so you only get what's fed to you through the tube, unless you make the effort, or unless you watch PBS. But in general, I don't think it's a priority. You can tell by the way Congress addresses the issues and funding.
Ethan: Not that all Americans fit into this, but many times people look to their government as far as what they should support. In Europe, when you're subsidized by your city as well as your country, it automatically lends itself to being more acceptable.
Robin: If you want it bad enough you'll pay for it, rather than, it's coming out of our taxes anyway; it's ours, it's part of our culture.
Veronica: Given that it's not built into our system like that -- structurally, geographically -- it brings to mind crafty attempts to get at this widespread, disinterested audience with something like the Joffrey's "Billboards."
Christian: Had that been marketed really well, that would have been wonderful. The choreography's fine, but I didn't feel it was produced wisely, in a sense that you don't sit down and get bombarded with Prince, all on one level. Also, so it's not all four ballets every night, because then if you like Prince, you see all four ballets but you've seen nothing else. They could have split it up and done two of the ballets on one night and then slipped in Ashton or something. Use the Prince as a hook and then feed in something that balances the program -- then I think they could have cultivated a larger audience response. It was, Let's do this, grab the money and run.
Paul: It paid the bills.
Robin: It didn't pay the dancers.
Christian: And the audience doesn't come back.
Paul: Is it enough to bring in the modern element? Does that make it relevant?
Ethan: No. The work has to have integrity. But it's also diversity. If you bring in only choreographers who are making ballets in the same idiom, then who are you going to satisfy except the people who've already been coming in the first place? When the choreographers are the same ones who've been there before, or have danced in the company, or made works on the school, or are making works that lean toward what's already being presented, it's boring. What kind of interest is that going to spark?
Veronica: The flip side of that is, how much can those ballet dancers be expected to master? Will they be shown off if you bring in a Doug Elkins or a Bebe MIller? Will they be able to do it? Are you talking about that kind of diversity?
Ethan: Sure. That comes down to, you have to meet in a certain place. You've also got to give the dancers credit, because they probably can do it.
Paul: I think "meeting" is a good way to put it. Mark Dendy is a downtown person, but with some of his ballets on Pacific Northwest Ballet and elsewhere, there is a meeting there. It is possible; they still retain that wildness and the dancers are on pointe.
Robin: That's always been one of my favorite things to do in my career: meeting somewhere between. The choreographer had different ideas, maybe we had a different technique than he or she was used to, but that sparked ideas.
Ethan: Or else the choreographer makes the piece in the same way that he would anywhere else, and you just accept that this is on another company and they're dancing it in their own way.
Paul: Which is legitimate. San Francisco Ballet, where I first saw Paul Taylor's "Company B," does it very differently than the Taylor company.
Robin: Oftentimes it's a valid interpretation.
Christian: It's fascinating too, to see (Jerome Robbins's) "Moves" now. It's not completely different -- the steps are the same -- but the aesthetic is different. When we did it, it was more human. It was still abstract, but it was more relationship-oriented. Now when I see it I feel it's more about line. I'm not saying it's better or worse, just different.
Paul: But the focus is less on the human relationship part of it?
Christian: Yes; it's approached differently, it's set differently.
Paul: "Serenade" on City Ballet is incredibly well danced, but when I saw it on Dance Theatre of Harlem, there was a story going on there, a human relationship between the three principal dancers or characters. I can't say exactly what it was, but there was something going on and I found it riveting. To me, that made the ballet relevant; it involved my heart. It wasn't just interesting, sort of beautiful, nice lines, musical. I don't know if it's sacrilege to say that.
Robin: I don't think so. There are a million incarnations a dance can take, but it has to be relevant to the cast first, so that the cast can make it relevant for the audience.
Paul: As dancers, how is a "Swan Lake" relevant to you, or a classic Balanchine piece that doesn't have a narrative?
Ethan: You find something that has meaning to you. I'm not saying in an abstract ballet I'm going to make up a story and tell one, but there may be a line that weaves its way through the whole ballet that makes sense to me, and that people hopefully can see.
Robin: There's going to be something there that makes it relevant to you emotionally or intellectually.
Christian: Case in point, there's a ballet called "Parade": When Leonide Massine set the Chinese Conjurer solo (on the Joffrey), the only people in that studio were Gary Chryst, myself, Massine, and his assistant. We got the information from God's mouth to our ear: what the steps meant, what the story was, what the subtext was, all of that. There are references to the sinking of the Titanic. There are all sorts of things that the audience wouldn't even get, but it fills you as a performer, and that's not being passed on. They take it off the video; it's five-six-seven-eight. But the younger dancers pick up the phone and say, "Can you get with me this weekend because I'm absolutely out at sea. I don't know what's going on here."
Robin: You're trying to guess. You're trying to find something to make it relevant, but if you can't and if the people in charge don't seem to care.... Take "Swan Lake" as an example again.
Paul: Even in "Swan Lake," you can't just pick up on the basic story?
Robin: The best "Swan Lake" I was ever in, I was just in the corps of the white acts. It was amazing and wonderful because all 18 of us were literally breathing together. What made that happen -- we rehearsed and rehearsed and we knew every note of music, and finally someone came in to coach. There was a question about how exactly should the head be? Does it go like this or does it just go like that? And he said, "As long as you show the suffering. You all must show the suffering." It really made the difference, just some emotional thing that meant something to every one of us. And the audience gave us, the corps, a standing ovation.
Paul: So it wasn't just going on in your heads, it carried across.
Robin: Yes! Whereas I think if you're just going through the movements gymnastically, the audience may be able to say, Oh wow, they're doing amazing things, but it's not going to be relevant to them. Because they can't move like that; they have no idea what it feels like to do multiple pirouettes or to fly in the air. But that, that thing, makes it relevant.
Veronica: A lot of people go to ballet for the virtuosity of it, to see people do these exciting tricks that are a thrill in the way that Michael Jordan jumping really high is thrilling. I wonder if that's more what an audience is looking for, or how much they are attuned to this other, more emotional level?
Ethan: Depends on who you go to see. When you have "Don Q" or "Corsaire," that virtuosity is going to be a major element. If you see Netherlands Dance Theatre, it's going to be a different physicality. It just comes down to a matter of taste, or what is relevant for each person.
Paul: So you think some people are going to the ballet actually to see that, to see the jumping, the 12 fouettes, the circus tricks?
Veronica: The incredible extension?
Ethan: I've sat out in the audience many years and watched ballet, and seen people react to one step which was impressive, but not really meaningful.
Paul: When there's this incredible technical feat, most of the audience seem to love it. So maybe that does bring them in, but it leaves me hollow if it doesn't have that other element.
Robin: You hear a lot of people yell and scream for technical feats, but when it isn't something that moves you, it does leave a hollow feeling. When you go to the theater with a friend who's never seen much dance, do they ask you, "That was good, right?" or do they just know?
Ethan: It also may be a comment on society. What are we geared to appreciate? Are we geared to instant gratification?
Paul: Faster, bigger.
Ethan: Who won, who lost? Not, was it a good game or not? Was there beauty within?
Christian: You see Entertainment Tonight, you see Extra: What's it about? Brad Pitt, the new opening, Hard Rock Cafe, Bruce Willis, how many explosions, what's it like to have a sex scene with ten people standing around, did you kiss him, who was naked in Playgirl?
Robin: Get free stuff.
Paul: Stephen Petronio says that he wants to glamorize dance. I think the glamour is there, and we in the media need to do a better job of revealing it to people. For instance, an actor may be on the cover of Entertainment Weekly just because he looks good, but if he's promoting a worthwhile movie, what's wrong with that? If sexy magazine covers make people go and see that work of art, then it's okay to bring people in that way. The analogy for dance would be showing beautiful pictures or putting beautiful dancers on TV to get people to see a truly wonderful performance. And, on that subject, in terms of ballet bringing people in but retaining its integrity, what is it doing right?
Christian: ABT's in a good place. Splitting the company is good -- they can play more venues and make it accessible.
Robin: It's nice to see in New York recently showcases for new choreographers experimenting in the ballet idiom. They're on a small scale, just to scare things out of the bushes.
Ethan: The ABT Studio Company has five new creations, which will draw the ABT audience to new work. In general, ballet isn't the problem. People are doing incredible things, the level of the dancers is fantastic. Ballet isn't over.
Endnote from Alonzo King, director and founder, LINES Contemporary Ballet:
"Things based on a universal truth can never be irrelevant. Ballet is based on universal themes, the same things that informed Copernicus, that informed geometry inform ballet. Most people think of ballet as a style, and they connect that style with (centuries-old) romanticism. They don't realize that ballet is not a style, it's a science of movement. It can be manipulated and explored in a million ways -- it's inexhaustible."

After years of delays and spiralling construction costs, the Scottish city's new tram system finally rolls into action.
06:45, UK, Sunday 01 June 2014
The Scottish capital's newly-finished trams have taken their first paying passengers, marking an end to a long-running saga over ballooning costs and massive construction delays.
Trams trundled through the streets of Edinburgh for the first time in 58 years on Saturday as the new service was opened to the public.
The line, which runs from Edinburgh Airport to York Place, left Gyle shopping centre at 5am bound for the city centre.
The sight of the trams on the city's streets will come as relief to many who have witnessed six years of disruption and delays, in part due to a bitter dispute between the council and the contractor.
The controversial project was due to have been in operation by 2010 and was initially planned to be considerably larger.
However, spiralling costs meant it was slimmed back to just one line.
The project ultimately cost £776m, double the figure originally anticipated, leading to calls for a public inquiry.
Those involved in the scheme now hope the controversy is behind them.
Edinburgh City Council transport convener Lesley Hinds said: "The tram project has been hugely challenging for the people of Edinburgh but now there seems to be a growing positivity in the city about the start of a brand new transport service.
"I know from first hand experience how trams can transform and enhance a city and I'm determined Edinburgh should make the very most of the opportunities ahead."
The service costs £5 for a single trip from the airport and £8 for a return.

In this third and last review of the Napa Valley sub-appellations, we'll take a look at the southern section of growing Districts. These are closer to the Bay Area and have are strongly influenced by the Bay Area fog and Imarine layers.
First of the southern growing area Districts (sub-appellations) is Yountville. Located directly west of the Stag's District, with the ground level from 20' to 200'.
This is a red wine area and the primary varietals are Cabernet and Merlot. The area is influenced by the cool Bay Area marine influence. Fog is not uncommon and keeps the growing area cooler than some of the up-Valley Districts.
Immediately south of Yountville is the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. The west side of the District is bordered by the Mayacamas Mountains. This is an area definitely influenced by the Bay Area. Fog through the late morning is common and the afternoon often has brisk winds plummeting the District.
The District is an area with low to moderate elevations. The lower (southern) end is at sea level, upper elevations reach top 800'. Because of the marine influence, temperatures during the daytime are usually no warmer than the upper 80's; the evenings can get down to about 50°.
This varied environment allows the District to produce a true variety of wines. Most common are Merlot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling!
Mount Veeder is nestled in the mountain area of the Mayacamas. Directly west of the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley, the vineyards are primarily above the marine layer fog line. Elevations range from 500 to 2600 feet. The elevation allows for warmer nights (above the fog levels) and cooler days. Warm summer days are often in the mid to high 80's.
This environment allows for a variety of grapes, reds and whites, to be raised successfully. Most common in the area are the classic reds: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel. The area is also a natural for Chardonnay.
Far to the east, but at the same latitude as Mount Veeder, is the Wild Horse Valley District. This District is one of the higher ones, with elevations ranging from 600 to 1900'. With the elevation and the winds off Suisun Bay to the south, the District is warmer than some of the surrounding areas, but the warmth is tempered by the marine environment to the south.
The District is known for the Chardonnays on the white wine side and Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir on the red side.
Coombsville District is almost a part of the City of Napa. It's an interesting area since the Napa Valley floor (100 – 500') allows for successful Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, and Pinot Noir vineyards. On the more hilly areas (to 1000'), the plantings are primarily Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a temperate area with the climate influenced by the proximity to San Pablo Bay.
The last area of the Napa sub-appellations is the famous Carneros District. Located to the west of the City of Napa, the District sets at sea level to about 700'. It is a cool growing area, strongly influenced by the marine winds off the Bay to the south.
Primary plantings are Merlot, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The area gets a lot of traffic since it one of the first Districts to be visited as one goes to Napa Valley.
These vineyards represent the final groupings of Napa Valley. Using this and the previous articles, it is possible to seek the type of wines you want to taste and make a routing plan.

Arizona's Last Action: Arizona ran its record to 4-0 and won the 1999 Preseason NIT by beating 11th ranked Kentucky, 63-51, last Saturday night in Madison Square Garden... After trailing by seven points early on, the UA collected itself and outscored UK 21-10 during the final 8:20 of the first half to take a 29-25 lead at the half. In the second, Arizona used an 11-0 run in the early goings to build a 13-point lead and would maintain a double-digit lead throughout to beat the Wildcats for the third consecutive time. Freshman guard Gilbert Arenas was named the tournament's MVP after scoring a career and game-high 20 points to go with five steals, four rebounds and two assists. Richard Jefferson, who was also named to the Preseason NIT All-Tournament team, completed a fine showing in the Big Apple, scoring 15 points and grabbing eight rebounds... For the two-game set at the Garden, he averaged 14.0 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 4.5 apg, 3.5 apg and 1.5 bpg, while shooting 61.9% from the floor... Arizona's other freshman starter, point guard Jason Gardner was a Preseason NIT All-Tournament team member as well and scored 10 points to go with four steals, three assists and three rebounds in the title game... Arizona held Kentucky to a field goal percentage of just 35.6%, marking the fourth time in as many games that a UA opponent has had a sub-40% field goal percentage.
The Last Arizona-Brigham Young Meeting: The Wildcats ventured to Provo on Nov. 28, 1998, to play BYU and came away with a 78-74 overtime win to up their record to 3-0 on the season. Using a tough brand of defense, the Wildcats allowed the Cougars to hit on just 24-of-65 shots (36.3%), including 8-of-28 from the three-point line. Arizona's offense was led by the senior combo of Jason Terry and A.J. Bramlett, who scored 19 and 17 points respectively. However, the big story was freshman power forward Michael Wright, who came off the bench to score a then-career-high 21 points and pull down seven rebounds. He was 6-of-10 from the floor and 9-of-10 from the free throw line. The game was close throughout, before Arizona built a 60-51 lead with 5:52 to go. From there, BYU fought back to take a 67-64 lead with 1:23 left before Terry hit a huge three-ball with 1:08 remaining to tie the game and eventually send it to overtime (Bramlett missed two FT's with one second left that would have won the game)... In overtime, it was all Terry, Bramlett and Wright, as they combined to score 10 of the UA's 11 points... Terry was 4-of-4 from the free throw line in the final nine seconds to help seal the win... Bramlett had a double-double (17/13) and Terry had five steals.
Lute Olson is within reach of a pair of coaching milestones... He is nine wins away for career win No. 600 and one from win No. 400 at Arizona... Here is a look at his milestone career victories:
Win Date Team Opponent Score 1 12-1-73 LBSU Puget Sound 84-55 100 2-3-79 Iowa Minnesota 97-71 200 2-25-84 Arizona Oregon St. 69-58 300 3-27-88 Arizona North Carolina 70-52 400 2-13-93 Arizona Washington St. 94-72 500 2-11-96 Arizona Cincinnati 79-76Coach O: Lute Olson (Augsburg '56) is his 17th season as the head coach at Arizona and his 27th overall as a head coach... This season will see him reach of number of milestones in what has become a Hall of Fame type coaching career... He has a career record of 591-212 (.736), while his mark in Tucson stands at 399-120 (.769) and he has made Arizona one the dominant programs in the country... He needs just nine more wins for career win No. 600, which would make him one of just 33 coaches in NCAA history to win 600 or more games... With one more win, he will reach 400 for his Arizona career (these numbers may differ from what the NCAA coaching totals list, because as opposed to the Pac-10 Conference, the NCAA does not count forfeits as wins on head coaching records, as the case is with two UA losses to Cal in 1995 and 1996, which were later changed to wins... the same holds true with a game when Olson was at Iowa, when there was a forfeit by Wisconsin in 1983 that changed a loss into a win)... The season's opener against Kansas State was the 800th of his collegiate Division IA career... He is 3-0 all-time versus BYU and 3-0 against Texas... During his 17-year tenure at Arizona, the Wildcats have won one national championship (1997), gone to three Final Fours (1988, 1994, 1997), won eight Pac-10 Conference titles and been to the NCAA Tournament for the past 15 years in a row, which is the second longest streak in NCAA history (North Carolina, 25)... He also led Iowa to the 1980 Final Four... He has been named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year six times (1986, 88, 89, 93, 94, 98), the Big-10 Coach of the Year twice (1979 & 81) and directed the UA program to the nation's best winning percentage over the past 12 years... His Pac-10 record stands at 223-65 (.774) and he is one of just six coaches in league history to win 200 or more conference games... He has the second-best conference winning percentage in Pac-10 history (minimum three years), trailing only John Wooden (.810/304-74)... Prior to coming to Arizona, he was at Iowa for nine years where he owned a 168-90 mark and before that, he was at Long Beach State for one season (1973-74), where he went 24-2... In his collegiate career, he has produced 35 NBA Draft picks, including 20 at Arizona 15 alone on the 1990s... He has led Arizona to 12 consecutive 20-win seasons and has 21 overall in his career... Under Olson, the Cats are 245-25 (.907) in McKale Center and have won 174 of their last 184 home games.
BYU Notes: The Cougars stand at 2-0 on the season after beating a pair of teams by almost identical scores... They opened the year by downing UC-Riverside 91-62, and then beat Southern Utah, 92-64... Both of those were home games... Six players are averaging double figures for point production, led by 6-foot-9 junior forward Mekeli Wesley, who is averaging 19.0 ppg.. He is 10-of-13 from the floor and 17-of-18 from the free throw line... He had 24 points in the season opener -- and was 7-of-8 from the floor and 9-of-9 from the FT line... Senior forward Silester Rivers is the team's leading rebounder at 5.0 rpg and scores 14.0 ppg... Rivers is from Mesa, Ariz... There is another Arizona product on the roster 6-foot-11 junior center Joe Ellsworth, who hails from Yuma... The Cougars are shooting 59.8% from the floor, while holding their opponents to a mark of 34.7%... The Cougars are coached by Steve Cleveland, who is in his third year as the head coach... He has compiled a mark of 23-37 so far... BYU will host Arizona State on Dec. 7.
Texas Notes: The Longhorns are 4-0 on the season and are ranked No. 9 by the AP and No. 10 by the USA Today/ESPN poll... They opened the season by downing Louisiana-Lafayette, which is coached by former UA assistant, Jessie Evans... They won the Puerto Rico Shootout last week after beating Arizona State (88-71), 18th ranked DePaul (68-64) and third-ranked Michigan State... They beat the Spartans in the title game, 81-74... Junior 7-foot center Chris Mihm is the team's leading scorer and rebounder, averaging 19.8 ppg and 12.8 rpg... He also has 16 blocks in four games and is shooting 53.8% from the floor, including 4-of-5 from the 3PT line... He had 29 points against Arizona State, 23 versus DePaul and has had a double-double in each of the Horns' first four games this year... Six-foot-7 senior forward Gabe Muoneke is the second leading scorer and rebounder, sporting per game marks of 16.8 ppg and 7.5 rpg... Opposing teams have hit on just 16-of-70 three-point attempts this season (22.9%)... Sophomore transfer Chris Owens played for Arizona senior Josh Pastner in the Houston-area AAU league... Owens is averaging 13.0 ppg and 5.8 rpg, marks that are third best on the squad... Texas is coached by second-year head coach Rick Barnes... He has compiled a mark of 23-13 in Austin... Prior to his arrival at UT, he had been the head coach at Clemson from 1994-98, at Providence from 1988-94 and George Mason in 1987-88.
UA Powers in Austin: In addition to the basketball team's appearance at UT on Saturday, the Arizona women's volleyball team takes place in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday and Friday... The 19th-ranked Cats play Virginia in the first round and if they win, could end up playing Texas in round two... 15th-ranked UT plays Houston in round one... The Arizona men's and women's swimming and diving teams, which are ranked fourth and second in the nation, respectively, are also headed to Austin and will compete in the University of Texas Invitational, Dec. 3-5.
Messin' With Texas: Arizona has won its last 11 games against teams from the state of Texas... The last loss was on March 3, 1987, to UTEP in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Tucson.
McKale Magic: Arizona currently has the nation's fourth-longest active home winning streak... The Wildcats have won 34 consecutive home games, trailing only Murray State (44), Duke (38) and Utah (36)... The last loss was a 66-64 defeat to UCLA on Feb. 13, 1997... The streak includes two games this year, all 14 home games last season, 15 in 1997-98 and the final three of the 1996-97 campaign... Further, Arizona has won 45 of its last 46 home games and is 174-10 in McKale Center since the 1987-88 season... During that time, the Cats have lost just two non-conference games (Arkansas, 1992-93 & Syracuse, 1995-96)... Overall, Arizona has won 20 consecutive non-conference home games... Last year was the ninth season in history that Arizona went undefeated at home... Arizona owns an all-time record of 338-64 (.841) in McKale Center... This will be the 12th season Arizona basketball has been sold out in McKale Center on a season-ticket basis...

UCLA is second with four conference titles this decade... Arizona's winning percentage of .795 (260-67) in the 1990s is the third-best in the country, trailing only Kansas (.829; 290-60) and Kentucky (.817; 285-64)... For conference games only, Arizona's record of 140-40 is the best in the league, with UCLA at No. 2 with a 134-47 mark... The Cats have been to the NCAA Tournament each year this decade and won it all in 1997... There have been 18 All-Pac-10 first team selections from Arizona and four Pac-10 Players of the Year... Arizona has not recorded a double-digit loss total since 1986-87... The Wildcats' seven All-Americans during the 1990s trails only Duke's 10...

Arizona in 1999-00 Polls/Week-by-Week
Date Record AP USA Today/ESPN Pre. 0-0 #9 #9 11/15 1-0 #10 #9 11/22 2-0 #8 #9 11/29 4-0 #4 #4Cat Scratches: This week marks the 66th time that Arizona has been ranked in the top-five by the Associated Press... With Arizona ranked No. 4 and Stanford No. 3 this week, it marks the first time since Dec. 16, 1991, that the Pac-10 has had two teams ranked among the nation's top-four... That week, Arizona was No. 2 and UCLA was No. 3... Under Lute Olson, the Wildcats have gone 36-6 in the month of November... Loren Woods' seven blocks versus Notre Dame tied a school record that was set on March 13, 1997, by Anthony Cook against UTEP... Of Arizona's five starters, you have two sophomores (Wright/Jefferson) who have combined for 61 career games, two true freshmen (Gardner/Arenas) and a junior who had never played for the Cats until this season (Woods)... Arizona joins Kansas as the only three-time winners of the Preseason NIT, winning it in 1999, 1995 and 1990... Dating back to the first round loss of the 1986 Big Apple NIT, Arizona has won 65 of its last 70 games that have been played as part of an in-season tournament (i.e. Preseason NIT, Maui Invitational, Great Eight, Great Alaska Shootout, Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic, Bank One Fiesta Bowl Classic, etc., etc.)... Richard Jefferson -- the starting small forward, leads the team in FG% at 63.9%... Since the start of the 1997 NCAA Tournament, the Wildcats own a record of 62-12... Overall, Arizona has been ranked in the regular season Top-25 rankings for 202 straight weeks... The Cats have outscored their two opponents so far by 17.8 ppg... Dating back to the start of the 1997-98 season, Arizona has been ranked in the top-10 in 35 of the last 41 polling periods... Arizona is 31-0 when Josh Pastner plays, hence the term "A Pastner Game" applies whenever the Wildcats win big... Wildcat sophomore guard Ruben Douglas was granted his request for a release from his scholarship at the University of Arizona by the UA coaching staff on Nov. 14... He will continue his course work at the UA for the rest of the fall semester with the intent to transfer after that period.
Pac-10 Prognostications: The Wildcats were picked to win the 1999-2000 Pac-10 Conference title, according to a poll of media members who regularly cover the league... The poll showed Arizona getting 32 of the possible 36 first-place votes, edging No. 2 UCLA, who received three first place votes and No. 3 Stanford, which garnered one first place vote... Following the top-three were Oregon, Oregon State, California, USC, Arizona State, Washington and Washington State. This poll has correctly picked the Pac-10 Champion for five years in a row and Arizona has now been the preseason No. 1 pick six times since the poll was started back in 1989.
The Wright Stuff: All-American candidate Michael Wright has started the year with three double-doubles in the first four games, bringing his career double-double total to 15... The sophomore power forward has 15 double-doubles in just 33 career games... On the season, he is averaging 14.5 ppg and 9.2 rpg and shooting 55.9% from the floor... He is coming off a Kentucky game that him get into foul trouble early and see him score just one point, which was the lowest point total of his career.. That performance came after a marquee outing against Notre Dame, when he went for 22 points and 11 boards... His 35 rebounds through the first three games of the Preseason NIT were three shy of the three-game tournament record of 38, set by Gary Trent (Miami of Ohio).
Madison Square Gardner Arenas: The freshman guard tandem of Jason Gardner and Gilbert Arenas enjoyed their time in the Madison Square Garden limelight last week... Appearing in their own version of an off-Broadway "CATS" performance, they were both named the Preseason NIT All-Tournament team, while Arenas was the tourney's MVP... Playing in one of the "World's Most Famous Arenas", Gilbert Arenas averaged 17.5 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 2.0 apg and 3.5 spg, helping Arizona beat Notre Dame and Kentucky... He went for a game and career-high 20 points in the title game versus UK... As for Gardner, he averaged 9.5 ppg, 4.0 apg, 2.0 spg and only turned the ball over once while playing in 72 of a possible 80 minutes... Through four games, Arenas has a team-high 13 steals compare that to the first four games of Arizona's No. 1 and No. 2 all-time steal leaders, Jason Terry and Reggie Geary and you will see that Terry had three and Geary had five.
Captains Elected: Senior Josh Pastner and junior Loren Woods were selected captains for this year's team in voting that was done by their teammates.
Counting Classes: The 1999-2000 Arizona basketball roster is relatively young... From top-to-bottom, it is comprised of just two seniors, of which only one will play, due to Eugene Edgerson's redshirt season (Josh Pastner, who has played just 79 minutes in his four year career is the lone "playing" senior)... After that, there are five juniors two of whom had never played in a game for the Cats before the Kansas State season opener (Wake Forest transfer Loren Woods & junior college transfer Lamont Frazier) and one who can't play this season because he is a transfer (Luke Recker)... Then there are three sophomores, one redshirt freshman and four true freshmen.
Who's Back: Heading the group of two returning starters and seven letterwinners is last year's Freshman All-American and Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, Michael Wright. A 6-foot-7, 238-pound sophomore from Chicago, Ill. (Farragut Academy), he The UA's record of 324-74 over the course of the past 12 years gives it the nation's best winning percentage during that span (.814).has received preseason acclaim as being one the top power forwards in the country for 1999-2000. He is the team's leading returning scorer (13.9 ppg) and rebounder (8.8 rpg) after posting the best rebounding average by a freshman in Pac-10 history last season. The other returning starter from last year is sophomore Richard Jefferson (F, 6-7, 222, Phoenix, Ariz.)... (Ruben Douglas was a third returning starter, but he was granted his request to be released from his scholarship at the UA on Nov. 14). Jefferson was an All-Pac-10 Freshman team performer last season after averaging 11.3 ppg, 4.8 rpg and 2.9 apg. Among the other returning letterwinners are Justin Wessel (F, 6-8 , 225, Jr., Cedar Rapids, Iowa), Rick Anderson (F, 6-8 , 221, So., Long Beach, Calif.), John Ash (G, 5-10, 177, Jr., Tucson, Ariz.) and probably the most valuable player in the country who has averaged 2.6 minutes per game during his career, Josh Pastner (G, 5-11, 182, Kingwood, Texas).
A Redshirt Year: Another face that is returning this season, but will not be playing is Eugene Edgerson... He will redshirt this season so he can complete his degree requirement in his education major... In order to accomplish his goal of getting his degree and teaching certificate from the UA in four years, he will student teach during the 2000 spring semester, while fulfilling other requirements this fall... Depending on his teaching schedule, he will still practice with the team but will miss Wednesday practices during the fall semester.
The (Kind Of) New Faces: There are eight players on this season's roster who had never played in a game for the Wildcats before the season opener, although two of them were with the program last year and sat out either as a transfer or with a redshirt season. The transfer is junior center Loren Woods (7-1, 251, St. Louis, Mo.), who came to Arizona from Wake Forest. The former McDonald's All-American had to sit out last year, but is eligible to play in 1999-00 and will establish his presence right away. He did practice with the Cats in 1998-99, so he has a good knowledge of the system. The redshirt is Luke Walton (F, 6-8, 228, Fr., San Diego, Calif.). He missed last season with a medical redshirt after suffering a stress fracture in his right foot. He was healthy towards the end of last year and was able to practice with the team at the end of February.
2000 NCAA West Region First/Second Rounds in McKale Center The University of Arizona will host the first and second rounds of the 2000 NCAA Tournament West Region this March 16 & 18 in McKale Center. Tickets are currently on sale for each of the three sessions and cost $90. Ticket orders can be made at the McKale Center ticket office or by calling 520-621-CATS (2287). Media credential applications will be ready in January. Contact media coordinator Tom Duddleston with any questions (520-621-4163).
The New Guys: The six fresh faces on the team are a talented group... There are two transfers and four true freshmen... Junior college guard Lamont Frazier (6-3, 182, Jr.) comes to Tucson from Lon Morris Junior College in Jacksonville, Texas and is originally from Los Angeles... His has missed some practices so far due to a recurrent medical condition, but returned to practice on Oct. 28 -- his first time on the floor with the team since Oct. 17... The second high-profile transfer in two years to come to Arizona is Indiana transfer Luke Recker (G/F, 6-6, 190, Jr., Auburn, Ind.)... Just as the case was with Loren Woods last season, he must sit out this season as a result of NCAA transfer rules, but will be allowed to practice with the team... As a result of the broken left wrist he suffered in a car wreck back in early July, he was held out of some drills in practice to avoid contact, but received full clearance to practice last week... The four true freshmen on the squad include McDonald's All-American and starting point guard Jason Gardner (G, 5-10, 178, Indianapolis, Ind.), starting two-guard Gilbert Arenas (G, 6-3, 191, North Hollywood, Calif.), Robertas Javtokas it's pronounced YAHV-toe-kus (C, 6-10, 229, Siauliai, Lithuania) and walk-on Michael Schwertley (F, 6-5, 214, Phoenix, Ariz.).
Where Are You From?: California is the state that can claim the most members of this year's Wildcats, as four players are from "The Golden State " (Rick Anderson, Gilbert Arenas, Lamont Frazier and Luke Walton)... There are three from Arizona (John Ash, Richard Jefferson & Michael Schwertley) and two from Indiana (Jason Gardner, Luke Recker)... The rest of the roster contains six players from different states and countries, as the case is with Robertas Javtokas, who is from Siauliai, Lithuania... His city is pronounced SHAW-lay.
The Golden Arches: This season's roster has four former McDonald's All-Americans Jason Gardner, Richard Jefferson, Luke Recker and Loren Woods.
Then There Were Four: Just four players on this year's roster remain from Arizona's 1997 NCAA Championship team Eugene Edgerson, Justin Wessel, John Ash and Josh Pastner.
Who's Gone From 1998-99: Leading the losses from last season are 1998-99 seniors Jason Terry and A.J. Bramlett... Terry was named the National Player of the Year in three circles last year and was the Pac-10 Player of the Year after becoming the first player to lead the league in scoring (21.9 ppg), assists (5.5) and steals (2.8) in the same season since Gary Payton of Oregon State did it in 1989-90... He was No. 10 in the NBA Draft and went to the Atlanta Hawks... Bramlett was an All-Pac-10 selection last season after averaging 14.2 ppg, 9.4 rpg... He was drafted in the second round of the NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers... Both Terry and Bramlett were members of four Arizona teams that went 103-28 (55-4 at home), winning a national title (1997), a Pac-10 crown and they were 11-3 in the NCAA Tournament... Jason Stewart was the third senior last year, while freshman guard Traves Wilson transferred in the off-season, and so did Ruben Douglas, who made his decision Nov. 14.
Arizona's NCAA Tournament History: Last year marked the 18th time Arizona has made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament and it was the 15th invite under head coach Lute Olson... UA's current string of 15 consecutive appearances in the NCAAs is the second longest streak in NCAA history, trailing only North Carolina's 25 straight invites (UNC's is a current streak as well)... Last season was the 20th time in the last 21 years that Olson has taken a team to the NCAAs... He has directed Arizona to 15 tourneys and a 24-14 record -- and when he was the coach at Iowa, he coached five Hawkeye squads to the NCAAs... With 20 career appearances in the NCAA Tournament, he is tied for fourth on the NCAA's all-time tournament appearance list for head coaches with Adolph Rupp and John Thompson... Over the course of their last 20 NCAA games, the Wildcats own a record of 15-5... In the last five years, Arizona has played in 21 tournament games... Arizona's all-time record in the NCAA Tournament is now 26-17... The Wildcats have been to three Final Fours -- 1988, 1994 & 1997... Arizona has advanced to the Sweet 16 seven times in the last 12 years.
20-Win Campaigns: With its record of 22-7 last season, it marked the 12th consecutive season that Arizona won 20 or games... Further, it was the 14th time in Lute Olson's 16 years as UA head coach that the Cats have reached the 20-win plateau... It marked the 21st time in Olson's career that he has directed a team to 20 or more victories, making him just the eighth head coach in NCAA history to reach 20 wins in 21 or more seasons (Dean Smith-30; Jerry Tarkanian-26; Adolph Rupp-23; Bobby Knight-22; Denny Crum-21; Jim Boeheim-21; John Chaney-21).
Former Cats in the NBA: This season, there are 10 former Arizona players on NBA rosters... They are Mike Bibby (Vancouver), A.J. Bramlett (Cleveland/injured list), Jud Buechler (Detroit), Michael Dickerson (Vancouver), Sean Elliott (San Antonio/injured list), Steve Kerr (San Antonio), Chris Mills (Golden State), Sean Rooks (Dallas), Damon Stoudamire (Portland) and Jason Terry (Atlanta).
Shooting Sets the Tone: Since the 1996-97 season, Arizona is 64-4 in games when it has a better shooting percentage than its opponent... The Wildcats are 4-0 this year, 19-1 last season, 23-2 the year before and 18-1 in 1996-97 campaign.
80s Preservation Society: In the past four years, the UA is 77-8 when it scores 80 or more points in a game... Further, since the 1992-93 season, Arizona is 139-15 when it scores 80 or more... The Cats are 2-0 this year, were 15-2 in 1998-99, 26-3 in 1997-98 and 19-2 in 1996-97.
The Century Club: The UA has not given up 100 points in regulation since Jan. 27, 1990, at Pittsburgh, a span of 306 games. UA lost that game 100-92.
Some Notes on Last Season: The Wildcats led the Pac-10 in rebounding (41.6 rpg), scoring (82.2 ppg), free throw shooting (.710) and rebounding margin (+8.1 rpg)... The Cats completed its home schedule with a 14-0 mark... It was the ninth time in history the UA has completed its home schedule undefeated... Last year was the first time since 1989-90 that Arizona didn't score 100 points or more in at least one game... Arizona started three freshmen in 22 of its 29 games and used 10 different starting lineups... Only three teams shot 50% or better against the Wildcats -- UCLA (50%), at Cal (51.6%) and at Stanford (54.0%)... Arizona suffered its worst shooting performance of the season against Oklahoma in the first round of the NCAA Tournament (19-of-57/33%)... One offshoot of the UA's rebounding dominance was the amount of times it went to the free throw line... The Wildcats attempted 252 more free throws than the opposition... The three-point field goal percentage of .350 was the lowest in team history... Arizona's 30 turnovers against Washington State on Jan. 7, were the most for the program since Dec. 4, 1982, when the Ben Lindsey-coached Cats had 36 at New Mexico... The University of Arizona retired Steve Kerr's jersey in a ceremony following the Washington game... He joined Sean Elliott as the only former Wildcats to have their jersey hung from the McKale Center rafters.
Arizona Basketball On TV This Year: Each of Arizona's 32 regular season games will be televised on either Fox Sports Net, ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, CBS or KWBA. The Wildcats appear on Fox Sports Net 20 times, ESPN four times, ESPN2 four times, CBS once, ABC once and on Tucson's KWBA five times.
The Coach's Show: Once again this season, KNST will air the Lute Olson Coach's Show, hosted by Brian Jeffries...

The first show is on Monday, Nov. 29, at 6 p.m. It is broadcast live from Bob's at 6350 East Tanque Verde Road... The show will then be aired for the television portion of the Lute Olson Show, showing on Tuesday, Nov. 30, at 10:30 p.m. on UPN channel 18... The next Lute Olson Show after this will be Tuesday, Jan. 4, at 6 p.m. and the TV show will be shown Wednesday, Jan. 5 at 10:30 p.m.

Yesterday afternoon, the Indianapolis Colts waived third-year outside linebacker Justin Hickman. Among general manager Ryan Grigson's first batch of "hidden gem signings" in 2012, Hickman was signed from the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The Colts announced the move with the following press release:
"Hickman played in 12 career games with the Colts in 2012 and made 14 tackles (six solo) and three special teams stops. Last season, he was placed on Injured Reserve on August 14, 2013. Hickman was originally signed by the Colts as a free agent on February 9, 2012 after spending three seasons (2009-2011) with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League."
Although he was one of the team's more consistent pass rushers and special teams defenders in 2012, Hickman spent all of 2013 on season-ending Injured Reserve after tearing an ACL in August. After Hickman went down, the Colts had very few options to rush the passer, relying on Robert Mathis' 19.5 sacks to carry the defense.
With Mathis suspended for the first four games for the 2014 regular season, and still with very few proven edge players, the Colts parting ways with Hickman now is a bit surprising. However, there is some speculation that there may be some lingering issues from Hickman's injury, but that is nothing more than hearsay at the moment.
Whether Hickman is suffering from any lingering injuries or not, his release shows that the Colts are comfortable with their young pass rushers to play effectively while Mathis is out and for them to provide quality depth throughout the entire season.
The Colts drafted defensive end turned outside linebacker Bjoern Werner in the first round of last year's draft, and are said to be counting on him to embrace a starting role in Mathis' absence. The Colts also drafted edge rusher Jonathan Newsome in the fifth round of this year's draft, and have young players Daniel Adongo and Cam Johnson on the roster, as well. One of last year's starters, Erik Walden, will also be counted on to rush the passer, but he is far along enough in his career to where the team already knows what they are getting with him.
Relying on so many young players to play such a crucial role early in the 2014 season shows the team trusts in the development of those players.

Indie pop act Holychild released a trilogy of music videos on Wednesday. The L.A.-based duo put out the quirky clips in honor of their debut EP "Mindspeak."
Holychild, comprised of Liz Nistico and Louie Diller, signed with Glassnote Records in January. The label is home to breaking acts like Childish Gambino and Chvrches. As Holychild, Nistico and Diller released their debut EP "Mindspeak" yesterday. Over four tracks, the duo tinkers with sugary sweet pop coated in experimental production. The excellent EP is a real treat on the ears and serves as a nice introduction to Holychild.
Prior to signing with Glassnote Records, Holychild had already released a music video last year for "Playboy Girl," one of the tracks on "Mindspeak." Taking a page from Beyoncé's book, Nistico and Diller put out music videos for rest of the songs on the EP: "Happy With Me" (watch up top), "Everytime I Fall" (video here) and "Pretend Believe" (video here). The trilogy follows Nistico (who also directed the series) and her girlfriends as they're put-on and put off by a group of older men. She still makes sure to get down with Diller during the performance scenes.
Holychild's debut EP "Mindspeak" is now available on iTunes.

Three former UCLA soccer players, Nelson Akwari, Alex Yi and Jordan Harvey, all returned to UCLA after their playing days and have earned their degrees from the University this spring.
Akwari will graduate with a degree in Chemistry/Material Science while Yi earned his degree in History. Harvey returned to UCLA to get his degree in Sociology.
Yi played at UCLA for two seasons (2000-01), starting 41 matches as a defender. In 2001, he was a nominee for both the Hermann Trophy and M.A.C. Player of the Year Award while earning All-America honors from the NSCAA. He was a key member of a UCLA defense that shut out nine opponents in 2011 while starting 22 matches for the team. In 2000, Yi earned Pac-10 Freshman of the Year honors and in his career was a two-time All-Pac-10 selection. After his UCLA career, Yi played overseas in Italy and Germany before enjoying a four-year career in MLS with FC Dallas.
Akwari was Yi's teammate, also playing at UCLA for two seasons from 2000-01. Like Yi, Akwari was a key member of that same UCLA defense in 2001 that recorded nine shutouts. He earned second-team NSCAA All-Far West and All-Pac-10 honors in 2001 and served as the team's co-captain that season. In 2000, Akwari was an honorable mention All-Pac-10 selection after starting all 19 of UCLA's matches and following his UCLA career he played five years in MLS with three clubs.
Harvey was a four-year letterwinner at UCLA from 2002-05. He played in 69 matches in his collegiate career as a defender, making 54 starts. He scored seven goals and logged nine assists in his career, winning the 2002 NCAA title with the Bruins.

The expression "It's a dog's life" fates back to the 1600's, and describes a life of misery. A dog like Patches must have been the original inspiration for that idiom; no dog should have to live the life that Patches has lived. Fortunately for him, Carmen Klapper stepped in and with the support of the community and his YouCaring page, she is trying to turn his life around.
Patches first came to the attention of Klapper in 2013, when her group built a kennel for Patches and his friend Inferno. Patches was living in the Judson area of Greenville, in an area that was originally part of an old mill village. Although there are many dogs living in Judson, far too many of them live their lives on the end of a tether, with no vet care or heartworm protection.
Examiner Elisa Black-Taylor first told his story here.
Carmen's Rescue is one of several groups in the upstate area of South Carolina who go into communities like Judson, build fences and kennels for these dogs living in chains, help them receive vet care, and generally try to improve their lives.
The group tries to stay in touch with the families of the dogs they help; they want to make sure that they have made a long term, permanent improvement in the lives of these dogs.
Two weeks ago, Klapper got one of those phone calls that come from time to time that she dreads. Patches wasn't doing too well. He was coughing badly, and having trouble breathing. He needed help. Even before taking him to the vet to be tested for heartworms, Klapper had a strong feeling that Patches would be heartworm positive; in fact she expected the test to indicate that his heartworms were severe.
Test results confirmed her worst fears, and the words from the vet didn't help. The vet told her "He can die anytime; tonight, tomorrow, next week, maybe next month. There is not a lot we can do for him. The only thing we can do is make his life remaining time pain free, so he does not have to suffer so much."
Klapper had hoped his condition could be treated, but clearly what Patches needed at this point was the canine equivalent of hospice. He is dying; nothing can change that. She resolved to make sure that his last days were not representative of that middle age saying "a dog's life".
She contacted Patches' owner, and he signed him over to the rescue so that Patches' last days would not have to be outdoors in a kennel.
Patches has had good days and bad days since then; there was one frightening emergency trip to the vet where he was having trouble breathing as his chest filled with fluid. There is still a slight hope that if Patches responds well to the medication he's on that he might be able to have heartworm treatment. But the chances are slim, only around ten percent. Even if he is able to start treatment for his heartworms, it is by no means certain that he could survive that treatment, which can be hard on dogs in much better condition than Patches.
Finding a foster home in Greenville, SC that is willing and able to provide hospice support for Patches has been a challenge; Patches needs to be near the vet for those times when he needs to get veterinary attention quickly. Patches also needs to be an only dog for his last days, which complicates matters even more because so many foster homes who would otherwise step up to help already have several dogs.
Right now Patches is staying at Top Dog, a boarding facility, and he is doing well there, but it's not the home environment he deserves to have for at least a little while.
Meanwhile, Klapper goes to see Patches every chance she gets, and takes him out into the big play yard. She has learned that Patches dearly loves chicken sandwiches, so no one will be surprised to hear that Patches can pretty much expect a chicken sandwich whenever she comes to visit.
He loves to be walked; he sometimes breaks out in a run, although it's really not a good idea given his condition. Klapper doesn't stop him because, as she said "what does he have left?".
The last few weeks have been a time of "firsts" for Patches. He has slept in a real human bed inside a home. He snagged a spot on the sofa. He has had a chance to see himself in a mirror. He even has a patch in the shape of a heart on his right side, a testament to his kind heart. In fact, Patches continues to steal – and break - the hearts of Klapper and everyone who meets him.
Top Dog is a wonderful boarding facility, but Patches deserve to live out his last days in a home. He needs to be someone's special dog, spoiled with tender loving care and treats. Like Keena, who Examiner wrote about earlier this week, he probably would love to have some cheese doodles and a cheeseburger too. He needs someone to be there with him these last days, and love him.
He needs a foster home, or even a "furrever" home, for however long he has left. It could be a day, a week, a month – it could be longer, if he is lucky.
Can you find it in your heart to bring Patches home with you, and give him the love he needs before he crosses the Rainbow Bridge? If you can't, do you have a friend who can? Perhaps someone who has recently lost their only dog might be willing to take Patches into their home and heart to help ease his remaining time. Please do what you can to help make sure Patches lives the rest of his life in a home, instead of a boarding facility.
If you can help donate towards Patches' veterinary care, Carmen's Rescue would greatly appreciate that as well. A YouCaring page has been set up to provide updates on his condition, and to accept donations towards his care.
Please change the meaning of "a dog's life" for Patches. Please make sure Patches, for just the short time he has left, can learn how wonderful it can be to be a much loved, indoor family member.
