Utah Jazz improve to 4-0 at home with 94-85 win over Memphis Grizzlies
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Four home games. Four Utah Jazz victories.
To say the Jazz have found a comfort zone in their own building would be an understatement.
Pass the chips and soda, please.
Where's the remote and paper?
For the first time since 2008-09, Utah is off to a 4-0 start in the comfy confines of EnergySolutions Arena thanks to a strong all-around effort Friday night in a 94-85 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
"I think right now we're in a good groove," Jazz center Al Jefferson said in his cozy locker after another team-leading scoring performance.
The victory, sparked by a strong defensive effort, efficient offensive execution and a whole lot of bench support, was the third in a row for a Utah team off to a surprisingly good 4-3 start.
Jefferson scored 20 points with nine rebounds, Paul Millsap added 14 points and eight boards, and the Earl Watson-sparked bench looked right at home while outscoring Memphis' subs by a whopping 41-11.
"I'm feeling pretty good," Jazz point guard Devin Harris said. "We got a great team win tonight. It wasn't always pretty. I think the bench gave us a big lift tonight, both in the second and third quarter. It just shows the depth that we have as a team."
Eleven players contributed to some degree for nine-plus minutes apiece in this win for Utah, with eight Jazz players getting steals, six guys swatting Grizz shots and seven scoring between seven and 20 points.
"We have a great group of guys," Jazz backup small forward Josh Howard said.. "Guys know their roles pretty much for the most part, and continue to come out and play hard."
The offense clicked better at times than it has all season, especially after a bumpy end of the first quarter. Utah even shot better than 50 percent (36-for-71, 50.7 percent) for the first time this season.
But Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin was especially pleased with the defensive effort he received from 11 players, who helped hold a dangerous Memphis team to 41.3 percent shooting.
Sure, the Grizzlies (3-4) are without All-Star power forward Zach Randolph because of a knee injury. But center Marc Gasol (21 points, 11 rebounds), guard Tony Allen (21 points) and forward Rudy Gay (17 points) headline a still-talented squad that won 46 games and won a playoff series against San Antonio last spring.
The Jazz should consider posting a "Welcome to Swat Lake City" sign outside their arena. The NBA's best shot-blocking team's 10 stuffs made life tough on the visitors, who struggled from outside (4-for-17 on 3-pointers).
"I thought our defense was about as good as I've seen it from one to five. The stuff we did on the defensive end was really encouraging," Corbin said. "This is what we were talking about from Day 1, and to see it tonight is a clear indicator, first of all, that we can do it, that we can do it individually and we can do it as a team.
"And," he added, "we want to continue to build off of that."
The Jazz won't have to wait long to get that opportunity.
After a week at home, they lose their snuggly safety blanket tonight when they travel to Golden State to face a Warriors team that could be without star Stephen Curry.
"The big test," Big Al said, "is going to be (tonight) on the road against a great team that plays well at home."

"The mystic Meister Eckhart said 'we are all meant to be mothers of God.' You don't need to be a mother of children to benefit from the spiritual wisdom in Random Moments of Grace. Female or male, married or single, you will learn to birth love moment by moment, and bless the world with gratitude. I love this book, and so will you."
– Michael Leach, author of Why Stay Catholic?
Before Ginny Kubitz Moyer became a mother, she spent a lot of quiet time with God. But the moment she became a mom, those deeply meaningful times of serenity all but disappeared, raising a critical question: How do you maintain an active spirituality when your life is consumed by the nonstop mayhem of motherhood?
In Random MOMents of Grace, Moyer helps mothers realize that their spiritual lives don't have to stagnate even though most of their time is now spent in a world of playpens and playgrounds. In fact, Moyer contends that all that wiping of noses and reading of bedtime stories can lead to some pretty amazing spiritual growth.
For any mom wondering if it's possible to be fully engaged in the lives of her children without sacrificing her spirituality, Random MOMents of Grace offers a definitive "yes" as it shows moms how to see God's grace at work in even the silliest, messiest, and most frustrating moments of motherhood.
Ginny Moyer and Vinita Hampton Wright discuss Random Moments and the trials of being a mother.
Ginny Kubitz Moyer is a contributor to several print and online publications, including U.S. Catholic magazine, BustedHalo.com, and CatholicMom.com.

Arnold Leads No. 11 Texas Tech in Opening Two Rounds Saturday
Hannah Arnold wrapped the first 36 holes of the Notre Dame Clover Cup in fifth place Saturday.
March 9, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - Hannah Arnold and Kim Kaufman both finished under-par over 36 holes Saturday to lead 11th-ranked Texas Tech during the first two rounds of the Notre Dame Clover Cup held at the Longbow Golf Club in Mesa, Ariz.
After being rained out on Friday, the pair led the Lady Raiders into fourth place entering Sunday's final round as Tech combined to shoot a 13-over 589 that is one stroke back of Northwestern for third place and six back of SMU in second.
Oklahoma took a commanding opening-day lead with a 6-under 570 that was boosted by a 7-under 281 opening round. It was one of only three under-par cards in the 16-team field.
Arnold wrapped the day in a tie for fifth after a 2-under 70 in the morning and then an even-par 72 later in the day. She is four strokes back of leader Jenny Haglund of SMU, who finished 6-under on the day thanks in part to a 67 second round.
Kaufman, meanwhile, is a stroke back in ninth place as she recovered from a 74 opening round to shoot a 69 in the afternoon. The second-ranked player in the country will look for her sixth top-10 finish already this year Sunday as she is 1-under for the tournament.
Elin Arvidsson is the only other Lady Raider in contention as she is tied for 19th overall after 72 and 76 cards. Gabby Dominguez and Beverly Mendoza completed Tech's day with 12-over and 13-over combined scores.
The final round is set for 9 a.m. CT shotgun start Sunday morning. Fans can keep up with the results throughout the day at www.golfstat.com.

Custom closets are an investment that can last a lifetime.
When it comes to kids' closets it's especially important to design a system that can transform over time. The needs of a toddler, a kid and a teen are different.
Ginny Snook Scott is our chief design officer but she's also a mother of three, so she knows the secret to keeping kids organized. Here are her tips on how to design your kids' closets to grow with them.
Q: What are the important elements of a nursery and its closet?
GSS: Newborns up to six months have a lot of little things – socks, pacifiers, hair bows – and if they're all in a big drawer it becomes a mess. If you can't find them, you don't use them – and that's a shame because they're only useful for a short amount of time.
The key is to compartmentalize appropriately for the size of the items. Little items go in little drawers, little dividers, and little containers. Place these smaller compartments into big drawers.
Include cubbies for stacked items – diapers, diaper cloths, and onesies. A new parent will go through a lot of these items. Keep them within easy reach.
Babies move quick and aren't always cooperative when it's changing time, so think of where you'll need to access items easily. For example, near a changing table you need diapers, wipes, and clean cloths.
Stay away from closed drawers as much as possible. With lots of little things floating around you won't know what you have if they're out of sight.
Q: What about closets and rooms young children who are past the baby phase?
GSS: The great thing about kids is that they're starting to explore their independence and self-sufficiency. So this is a great time to teach them how to dress themselves and keep things neat and organized.
The secret is creating accessibility to the things that you want them to have accessibility to.
So in a closet, you can tier it. The things you want them to dress themselves in, put at the lower tier. Make sure there are drawers down low so they can see and reach for underwear and socks. That gorgeous dress that grandma purchased for the holiday party goes to the top tier so it doesn't come out at playtime.
This creates independence and it starts teaching organization. When kids can find their clothing and dress themselves that accelerates their self-sufficiency.
Just remember that the closet design has to have a kid's abilities in mind.
Create storage for toys and books. Some people think shelves are the way to go, but for kids, bins and baskets are a better idea. A child can take a basket, dump it out on the floor and have a wonderful day of play. When they're finished, it all goes back in the basket and the basket gets tucked away. This makes it easier for the kids to understand how to clean up and it's not so time consuming for the child or the parent.
Baskets are better than drawers because kids can see what's in them. In a bank of drawers that's over their eyeline they stick their arms in and pull everything out and make a mess. In a basket they can easily see their favorite PJs, cowboy t-shirt, etc. Kids can get very headstrong – "I want this one shirt!" – and it turns into a frenzy looking through drawers to find it. In a basket they can easily see it.
Q: What about designing a teen's closet?
GSS: It has to reflect their personality. That independence continues to grow as they get older and it's really important they have a place where they feel comfortable.
It's important they're not living in the room they lived in as a two year old. When you're investing in furniture and cabinetry, it's important that it can adapt. Every parent has had to repaint. A 15-year-old doesn't like the cotton candy pink they loved when they were six.
Teenagers become more private. It's important to provide drawers and cabinets as a place for personal items not exposed to world. They need privacy when inviting their friends over to spend time or do homework.
Where a small child will use their room as a play area, a teenager will need more functionality. Doing homework, watching TV, playing with their Xbox; you need to create spaces in their room so it doesn't become cluttered with stuff from all these different activities.
Teenagers are using more and more technology and starting to think like an adult. Where is their charging station? Where are they going to store their book bag? Helping them to think about things that help them stay organized as an adult and giving them the tools to be able to do that will help them be successful.
Q: How can parents plan their children's bedrooms and closets to easily and inexpensively grow and change with them?
GSS: With the California Closets systems that we create, it's really easy to do.
If you tell one of our design consultants, "Our intention is to be in this house for next 10 years – this baby will be 10 years old before we leave," the design can incorporate adjustable features.
A child or toddler can have three tiers of hanging because they have small clothes. Bigger kids can just have two tiers. Shelving needs to be adjustable. A child will go from dollhouses and big stuffed animals to iPads and laptops.
When you plan ahead in a space, you can think about next thing to fit in a certain area. An open space for a changing table can be converted to wire baskets for a toddler, and cabinetry or a desk once they are in school.
When designing for teenagers, ask them to be a part of that decision-making process. Changing out one or two doors or drawers is a very inexpensive way to change the entire look of the room. New drawer and door faces or new hardware is an easy way to make it look more zingy.
When you allow for changes in a teenager's room, it enhances their ability to present themselves to the world uniquely without having to dye their hair purple!

Phone rates across the state went up by at least $1.39 a month and as much as $2.25 a month this past November. Two more yearly rate increases have already been approved.
After next year, the same legislation that allowed the largest rate hike in history will also allow 20 percent increases every year.
Legislation allowing the largest phone rate hike in state history was done in the name of competition, and was supposed to open new communications doors.
But so far consumer advocates like Lori Parham of AARP say it's all done to open your wallet.
"For seniors on fixed income, this rate increase is just more than they can bear when you think about prescription drugs costs, Medicare premiums, increased insurance costs."
Most galling to advocates is a provision that lets phone companies raise your rates by 20 percent a year without asking anyone if it's all right. While in the law, Charles Rehwinkel of Sprint calls the provision a fantasy.
"Competitors will be a governor on the marketplace and will keep prices from going up."
But the rising rates are threatening to be a major issue in fall campaigns and may soon be coming to a TV near you. Three state lawmakers who have filed legislation to repeal the bill that allowed all of the hikes.
One of those is Thomas is Sen. Mike Fasano.
"Twenty percent rate increases on top of the largest rate increase in Florida history is an affront to consumers."
In the end, turning back hikes already approved is a long shot. But eliminating the 20 percent provision would be considered a victory just in time for the fall elections.
Here is a table detailing the rate hikes already approved. On top of what you see here, Sprint, Verizon and Bell South will each be able to add another 20 percent a year to your phone bills unless the law is changed this spring.
Bell South: $1.39, $1.38, $1.09, $3.86
Sprint: $2.25, $2.25, $1.36, $1.00, $6.86
Verizon: $1.58, $1.58, $1.57, $4.73

It's pretty shameful, the amount of beauty products we own. But no matter how much our bathrooms overflow with pots and bottles, we're going to keep on buying because we're addicts, and there are so many awesome scents and lotions out there! Our current love is the Turkish Mocha Body Lotion ($8) by Wicked Soaps. The coconut milk and aloe base works perfectly to moisturize our skin in dry weather and the vanilla, honey, cocoa, and Turkish coffee scent blend is to die for. We'll admit, when we rub in this lotion, we're tempted to call into work and go sit in a warm cafe all day long!

The infamous ponzi scheme carried out by Allen Standford, who was a Texas financier, has taken a new, interesting turn for the investors that were victimized by the fraud, due to a Supreme Court decision that was passed today.
According to a report from USA Today, investors who lost billion of dollars in the ponzi scheme will be able to sue in state court.
The scheme that took place over a 15 years span, impacted over 25,000 people and cost them all well over $7 billion, was given a favorable ruling for investors by the Supreme Court.
They determined that because the rule that would've granted federal jurisdiction points to real, not fake, investments. This in turn now allows investors impacted by the ponzi scheme to take action and sue via in state court.
Before being arrested in 2009, Stanford and the rest of his associates forged certain financial documents, in addition to lying to regulators about various financial standings they currently were involved in. This in turn resulted in tens of thousands of investors losing everything, including their life savings.
Justice Stephen Breyer, who wrote the opinion, said, "Those words 'covered security' are important here. Defrauded investors will be able to obtain damages under state law."
One of the Justices who dissented from Breyer's opinion commented on the fact that this decision could end up limiting the authority the SEC (Security & Exchanges Committee) has to prosecute in other fraud situations similar to this one.
Allen Standford is currently serving a 110-year prison sentence.

College Hockey:Colgate Forces Game 3 Against Quinnipiac
HAMILTON, N.Y. — The Colgate Raiders forced Game 3 in the ECACHL quarterfinals with a decisive 5-3 win over the Quinnipiac Bobcats at Starr Rink Saturday night.
The second-seeded Raiders (19-11-6) played with more intensity after being shutout last night by the No. 10 seed Bobcats (20-17-1).
"Colgate has some good hockey players and did a great job tonight," Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold said.
Quinnipiac got on the board first with a Brian Leitch power-play goal when Reid Cashman found Leitch on the back door for the one-timer. Matt Sorteberg also assisted on the goal at 5:10.
Colgate responded with a goal of its own just 20 seconds later. Peter Bogdanich recorded the tally for the Raiders, with a helper to Ben Camper.
Quinnipiac went back ahead with its second power-play goal, this time by Jamie Bates. Ben Nelson set up Bates for the one-timer, and Cashman also recorded an assist at 9:16.
"We generated a lot of shots tonight and moved the puck well," Nelson said.
"I thought we played well tonight, worked hard, and think we actually played better tonight then we did last night as a team," Pecknold said.
The Raiders were not to stay down long, thanks to a four-on-four goal by Tyler Burton, his 21st of the season after an a ice-long pass from Mike Campaner. Burton went in alone on Fisher on the backhand for the goal.
Colgate took its first lead of the game on a faceoff to the left of Fisher. Tyler Burton won it to Jon Smyth, who passed along the blue line to Mark Anderson. He rifled the shot through a screen into the top left corner of the net. It was Anderson's first collegiate goal.
Minutes later, Colgate appeared to have taken a two goal lead on a deflection into the net, but the play was ruled no goal due to the stick being above the crossbar.
It was more of the same entering the second period, with Quinnipiac tying the game at three on Cashman's power-play goal.
"Coach said we came out and played hard again tonight," Nelson said.
Colgate took the lead back when Marc Fulton beat Fisher short-side on a slapshot from the right circle. Ryan Smyth fed Fulton for the goal, and the Raiders sealed the victory as Smyth and Jesse Winchester came down on a two-wide and Winchester blasted home the puck.
Cashman had a goal and two assists for the Bobcats and Burton had a goal and two assists for the Raiders.
The teams combined for four power-play goals on 13 chances. Quinnipiac's Fisher made 24 saves in the loss, while Colgate's Mark Dekanich stopped 30 in the win.
"We have to match their intensity and get them down early," said Nelson. "We know what we need to do to shut them down and just play our game."
"I'm proud of the guys this weekend; they've played hard," Pecknold said. "We're going to need to play well and Colgate's going to play well. It's going to be a tough battle."
Game 3 will be Sunday at 7 p.m. at Starr Rink in Hamilton, N.Y.

The department of nursing offers a four-year (plus one summer) program which leads to a bachelor of science degree with a major in nursing. The program is accredited by the Commission for Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and approved by the Minnesota Board of Nursing.
The goal of the nursing program is to prepare liberally educated women and men who can function as professional nurses in a variety of roles and health care settings and to prepare students for graduate study in nursing. Graduates, upon application and payment of fees, become eligible to take the National Council Licensing Examination for registered nurses (NCLEX-RN). Students who have been convicted of a felony or gross misdemeanor may be ineligible to be licensed by the Board of Nursing and early in their course of study should seek clarification of their status.
Students must meet the functional abilities for safe nursing practice including: fine and gross motor coordination, physical endurance and strength, mobility, intact senses, reading and arithmetic competence, emotional stability, critical and analytical thinking and interpersonal/communication skills. For representative examples of each, see the nursing department webpage.
The international honor society of nursing, Sigma Theta Tau, has a chapter at the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University. Students from the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University are eligible for membership. Faculty nominate nursing students for membership in the Kappa Phi chapter based on superior academic achievement. An active student nursing club encourages student involvement in professional and social activities.
Continuous improvement of student learning requires conscientious, regular participation by students in assessment activities. Periodically nursing majors' academic achievement will be assessed using nationally standardized and teacher-made exams, scoring rubrics and performance demonstrations. It is expected that students exercise their best effort in completing these activities. Some, but not all, assessment activities are also included as part of course grades. Individual data will be given directly to the student; students should seek consultation from their instructor and/or advisor if they have concerns about individual performance. Only group data will be used for department reports.

A Montreal law enforcement official is facing discipline after a photo leaked on Twitter this week. The Globe and Mail reported on May 29 that a police officer for Montreal was photographed inside his cruiser with a woman in his lap. It was a passerby that took the photo according to CTV News, and then posted it to Twitter.
The passerby, 19-year-old Leila Saad told CTV that she witnessed a police cruiser parked on Ste. Catherine Street in Montreal. When she got closer, she took the picture and submitted it to Twitter. Saad's camera did not include the entire cruiser, so identifying details such as the cruiser number or plate were not shown in the photo. Montreal police and news outlets were sharing the photo on Twitter on Wednesday May 28 in search of more information behind the photograph.
Leila Saad was contacted for more information on the photograph. The photograph showed the police officer in his cruiser with a woman in his lap, reportedly fully clothed. The officer was tracked down on Wednesday and called in to meet his commanding officer.
Spokesperson Command Ian Lafreniere told the Globe and Mail that the police officer in question will face sanctions. The Globe and Mail also reports that Ian Lafreniere stated that "no sexual act occurred". Even so, the police officer faces disciplinary action including a possible suspension once the investigation is complete.
Ian Lafreniere has also been reported as saying his initial reaction to the photo was that it was fake. The graininess of the photo suggested to him that the photo was not real, as the photo did not have any date or time stamps when it was submitted.Ian Lafreniere also said, "For us, this is completely unacceptable."
The Montreal police are investigating the incident, and also seeking to discover where the partner to the officer in question was located at the time the photograph was taken. Ian Lafreniere wants the people of Montreal to know that, "We take this seriously. A lot of police officers are not happy now because it's extremely bad for their job, their professionalism. This is not all the force. This is not the way officers are working in Montreal. This is one case."
Do you believe the commanding officer? Is this just one isolated case?

Wind, pollution and allergies
Larry Spratling MD, Chief Medical Officer, Banner Baywood Medical Center
Question: Windy days or times of high pollution tend to aggitate my allergies and respiratory problems. What can I do to avoid heightened symptoms during these times?
Answer: Atmospheric irritants/pollutants bother everyone to some degree, but those with asthma/allergy and other obstructive lung diseases are much more affected than the general population. The hypersensitivity of these individuals causes them to develop constriction of their airways when irritants are inhaled. The greater the concentration of the irritant, the greater the constriction of the bronchial tubes, but we should remember that sensitive individuals begin to have symptoms at less than one-tenth the exposure level that would affect a normal individual.
Avoiding exposure is critical for these individuals. They should stay indoors (air-conditioning) as much as possible during alerts. If they must be outside, they should avoid heavy exercise (this would increase inhalation). They should consider wearing a mask, especially if particulates are high. Some particularly sensitive individuals receive benefit from air filtration (such as the hepa type) in their home or work environment. However, from a practical standpoint, it's difficult to remain in the protected filtered environment for long periods.
Prescription medications can reduce the degree of sensitivity to irritants and also provide relief from the broncho-constriction following exposure. There is no substitute for close monitoring by a physician skilled in the management of respiratory illness. Affected individuals should have an action plan developed with their physician to manage changes in their respiratory function following exposure.

Saturn Vue vs. Hyundai Santa Fe
Hyundai Santa Fe SEMSRP (Base): $25,845
Engine: 3.3-liter V6
Horsepower: 242 @ 6,000 rpm
Torque: 226 @ 4,500 rpm
MPG: City: 19; Highway: 24
Performance - 11/20
If you're willing to listen to some harshness at higher rpm, you can exploit the engine's power and have a little fun. The rest of the time, you won't experience life-altering thrills but at least you won't fall behind in traffic. It takes about 7.3 seconds to get to 60 mph from a standstill when equipped with the five-speed automatic (depending on trim level, a five-speed manual is offered, though frequently declined by buyers). Steering and braking, as in the Vue, are adequate in performance and feedback, but that's about all. The ride feel is fine, but it may have come at the price of handling. Get a little too aggressive in corners and the Santa Fe's body roll puts you perilously close to being featured on Dateline.
Exterior design - 15/20
If the Saturn went from OK to a little more OK, this Hyundai went from goofy to handsome. Maybe too many unflattering "cute ute" comments were leveled on the Santa Fe. This look, new for '07, is much more likeable (if also more mainstream). It grew in the process as well, but the design still looks trim. No longer is the Santa Fe built on the Sonata's chassis; in fact, its platform is unique to the model. That's an expensive proposition, but designers were free to do their thing without the typical limitations of a shared chassis.
Interior design - 6/10
Along with the new face, the cabin was also treated to updates, most of them for the better. We'll get our biggest beef out of the way now, and that's the option of third-row seating. It really cuts into cargo room even when folded, and it's utterly useless for anyone larger than Barbie and Ken. That said, the rest of the interior may be a tad bland, but it's well-designed and appointed. Material feel plus fit and finish rank very well, and the cabin is vault-quiet on the road. Passengers will be comfortable on road trips, without feeling claustrophobic — so long as they don't venture past the second row of seats.
Sound system/goodies - 6/10
Hyundais of the past didn't utter "cheap," they shouted it. That's a thing of the past, and the Santa Fe doesn't undo the company's progress. The standard six-speaker system doesn't offer an input jack, though it does feature redundant controls on the wheel and to second-row passengers as an option. It also treats them to available DVD entertainment.
Bang for the buck - 15/20
The Santa Fe drives decently and seems sufficiently screwed together for the asking price. Hyundai wants to keep it that way with a generous warranty, highlighted by 60 months or 60,000 miles on the basics; 120 months or 100,000 miles on the powertrain.
Driving experience - 12/20
When your life consists of a lot of pavement-thumping, kid-hauling and maybe the very occasional lousy road, the Santa Fe is up to the challenge. With its redesign, it performs better with much higher levels of refinement throughout.
Overall score - 65/100
A tidied-up exterior and interior helped the Santa Fe's cause a great deal. What hasn't changed is the personality: easy to live with, roomy without having to devote regular blocks of time refilling the gas tank and a superior warranty.
and the winner is…It wasn't a runaway contest. It wasn't even a unanimous decision. Had we conducted this test a year ago, it would be a different story. The last Santa Fe was so-so to drive and unpleasant to be seen in. Hyundai has improved upon the so-so and made big advances in their small SUV's looks. For 2008, Saturn is doing the same with their Vue. Both are better vehicles for the changes, but the Santa Fe edges out the close win. It's not the life of the party, but it can easily become a part of your life.

Types of Running Bond Patterns
The running bond pattern is the most common and traditional of paver laying patterns. Running bond patterns are most applicable to brickwork, cobblestones and other pavers with uniform dimensions. This pattern is ideal for patios and walkways, where pedestrian traffic is the only concern. For driveways, which must stand up to regular vehicle traffic, patterns such as herringbone are best because the loads are better transferred between pavers.
There are three main types of running bond patterns:
Stack Bond
The stack bond is the simplest. The name will make more sense if you picture a brick wall built upward by simply stacking bricks on top of each other in a straight line. Now transfer that image to your patio or walkway. The stack bond creates uniformed "stacked" lines both vertically and horizontally.
Stack bonds have a few advantages. For one, the simplicity of the design inherently minimizes any cutting. Secondly, stack bonds are the strongest when it comes to foot traffic. Pavers can also be placed at 45-degree angles for a touch of style and interest.
1/3 Running Bond
This is simply a 1/3 variation on the stack bond. That is to say that each paver, and subsequently each row of pavers, overlaps its predecessor by one-third its length, creating a slightly staggered look that shows some diversity, but is certainly not too busy.
Half Running Bond
The half running bond is commonly referred to simply as a running bond (many people put the stack bond in its own category). In a half running bond, each row of pavers overlaps the last row by half its length (or width). You commonly see this pattern in brick masonry, especially for vertical walls because it is the most structural approach. This, of course, does not apply to brick facades. For patio pavers, structure is not an issue, but style is. Half running bond patterns create a uniformity that comes with style - a very popular choice for pavers of any kind.

This will mark the sixth television game for the Wildcats this season.

came of age before the ubiquity of cable television, home video
games and personal computers. In the mid 1970s to the early 1980s,
school sports in Greenwich were easily the biggest shows in town and
Tony Traver was almost larger than life. On a Friday night in
Greenwich, the flood of spectators unable to fit into the gym would
be accommodated with a live feed of the game broadcast to television
monitors set up in the auditorium.
Tony is the
first extol the talents and dedication of his high school teammates
and tell you that one player does not win basketball games. This is
certainly true, but it is indisputable that many fans throughout the
region descended on Greenwich to watch Tony Traver play basketball,
to see if he was really that good. Even twenty-nine years
later, those in the know will tell you that his legend is
well-earned and that, unlike many players of yesteryear, he would be
even more dominant in today's game, with the advent of the
three-point shot.
started on the varsity basketball team for four years. Over his
final two seasons, his teams were 46-4 (27-1 in Wasaren League play)
and won two league titles, a Class C-CC Sectional crown and a
Regional championship. He graduated as the all-time leading single
season and career scorer in Section II history (866 points in
'79-'80 and 2,189 career points). Only five other GCS boys in school
history have scored 1,000 points. He was first-team All-State in his
junior and senior years and was New York State Small School Player
of the Year. He was every local newspaper's area MVP and a McDonalds
All America, Honorable Mention. He played on the Empire State Games
basketball team four times and was captain of the gold medal team in
1980. Years after he graduated high school, one of the Albany Area
television stations named an all-time high school all-star team for
Section 2 and Tony was prominent among first-teamers.
In private moments, Tony will concede that it was not always easy
being a teenager in the continuous glare of the limelight. His
parents had divorced, his father, the late John
Tony throws down 2 points for GCS
Traver, was his coach and being so visible in a small town and
school invited scrutiny of his accomplishments and some
magnification of mistakes. Most who know Tony will tell you that his
ultra-competitiveness is what elevated him past other great athletes
and that this same quality could also manifest as an understandable
"edge." Today, Tony looks back on his Greenwich days with great
appreciation and fondness, but he is not a "glory days" kind of
person. He knows that his greater achievements have been earned
throughout his years following high school.
Passing on opportunities to attend more athletically
prominent schools, Tony accepted a full athletic scholarship to
attend The College of William and Mary, America's Alma Mater and
college of Presidents Jefferson, Monroe and Tyler. Tony was a
four-year starter, Rookie of the Year, two- time Defensive Player of
the Year and was a first team all- league rookie. He was team
captain in his senior year and led the Nation in free throws for the
majority of his junior year, ending up in the top five. He set
school records for most consecutive free throws and most consecutive
field goals. His teams posted wins against Virginia and Wake Forest,
both top ten teams at the time. William and Mary was undefeated in
the Colonial Conference in his sophomore season and made the
National Invitation Tournament. After earning his Bachelor of
Business Administration Degree, Tony participated in several on-site
National Football League (NFL) tryouts at William and Mary and later
declined offers to play professional basketball overseas or accept a
tryout in the Continental Basketball League (CBA).
Following college, Tony returned to Greenwich,
working and enjoying regional athletics for fun and competition.
Over the years, many who have heard of Tony Traver, the basketball
star, are unaware that he played four years of varsity baseball and
was a two-time Sectional Champion, leading point scorer for two
years and set five school records in track and field. He even
competed in cross-country and golf. Back in Greenwich, following
college, Tony was a three-year starter (quarterback, running back,
wide receiver and punter) for the Glens Falls Greenjackets. He was
the Rookie MVP and led the league in punting. He also played center
field for the Glens Falls Colonels, batting .395 in his final
season, while leading the team in home runs and runs batted in.
Today, Tony lives in Williamsburg, Virginia, with his
wife, Kari (Guillen) Traver, a Chief Information Officer Tony met in
his W&M days. Kari and Tony have three children: Tyson (a Radford
University graduate), Aaron, a "future pilot" (United States Air
Force Academy Class of 2010) and Victoria (Radford University Class
of 2012). The Travers recently purchased a second home, in
Greenwich, and Tyson is teaching and coaching modified basketball at
GCS. Tony is passionate about his family and recognizes that no
other accomplishment comes close to his twenty-five years of
marriage to Kari and raising three children. He is also especially
proud of his strong family bonds with siblings Andrea (Traver)
Johnson (GCS Class of '82), Michael Traver ('83) and Rick ('85). He
also prizes his lasting friendships with several fellow GCS
Currently, Tony is employed at Tecchemet, LLP, which
is based in Houston, Texas. Techemet is a precious metals
smelter/refinery. Tony procures "PGM" (platinum, palladium, rhodium)
scrap metal for processing into commercial grade "sponge" metal,
which is then sold on the open market, chiefly to automobile
manufacturers. Techemet has an international presence, although
Tony's main source of material is the United States. He has had the
good fortune to travel extensively, due to the nature of his job.
He is also a partner in a small aviation company that leases back
planes to a flight school. Other work experience includes Fund
Accountant for a small company that dealt with IPO Mutual Funds,
positions in the financial and banking fields and basketball
coaching at various levels.
Reflecting on his early Greenwich days, Tony credits
many. "The community of Greenwich helped build and shape my
foundation from which I launched into my future. Experience is the
totality of encounters and observations from which you build
wisdom. GCS /Greenwich, although a small, middle class arena,
fostered and nurtured me to dream and pursue those dreams. In
pursuit of those dreams I learned that the quest is the most
important part, because most of us will face obstacles along the way
and how we react to and recover from these trials defines us. I
believe that in addition to my family's strength, it was the lessons
I learned growing up with my mother (Helene Beck Traver, of Saratoga
Springs), sister and brothers and my GCS/Greenwich community that
have shaped me."
Tony briefly hesitates in naming GCS mentors: "The
list is so long and I'm afraid I'll leave a special person out…My
youth was affected and guided by Mrs. Aldous, John Pemrick and Dick
Worthington. Their strong presence and encouragement helped shape my
outlook. In my transition years of Junior High, I met Coach
McGuire. He had a big influence in my life and always raised the
bar. I am fortunate to be able to call him 'Coach.' I would fear
walking down the hall at GCS today, if I did not give kudos to Emily
Van Driel. She was always there when you needed her. I also want to
thank Dot Filer, for her effervescent smile, each day at lunch: she
would brighten up your day. Of course I would be remiss if I
did not mention our principal, our leader, Dr. Fitzgerald. He
challenged me everyday to be better. However, the staff member that
made the biggest difference in my life was my dearly departed "Dad,"
Coach John Traver."
Tony believes that the qualities required for success
in his field are "pretty much the same things it takes to be
successful in anything- continued education in all areas, never stop
learning, character-what do you do when no one is looking, desire
and determination to succeed and dare to make a difference."
'Wear and tear' injuries have taken their toll and
Tony now chooses to limit his athletic participation primarily to
golf. In the GCS gym, the painted tribute to his basketball career
rests on a wall in the corner of the gym, partially obscured by
safety railings installed with new bleachers. If the legend of his
high school basketball career is yielding to the shadows of time,
one gets the sense that this is just fine with Tony. He is happy,
successful and accomplished in the moment and has always lived for
the challenges of the future

Mother's Day may be over, but don't get too comfortable. Father's Day is already on the horizon. (It's June 15th.) A safe gift bet? Food, of course! We're partial to this Savory Celebration box ($63) from Donate Fruit. It's got a few scrumptious appetizers for dad to munch on: pretzels and mustard, salami, cheese, and crackers, and a chocolate toffee crunch. But the important part is Donate Fruit's mission. They donate fresh fruit on a pound-for-pound basis to food banks around the country. Your purchase means dad gets to bulk up his snack shelf and a food bank can hand out seasonal fruits to its patrons.

What are the correct steps to configuring an ASA5505 to be its own CA without a Microsoft CA being available and giving users the ability to self-enroll?
Specifically, I would like our ASA to use certificates for both VPN and SSL connections and I've managed to configure the Local Certificate Authority via ASDM but I cannot figure out what the URL the ASA uses for users to download their certificates is.
Also, do you need separate key pairs for VPN and SSL? Can you use certificates for SSH connections to the ASA?
Thank you in advance.

Résumé Writing
PURPOSE OF THE RÉSUMÉ: The purpose of the résumé is not to get you a job, but to get you an interview. The résumé is the first stage of initial employer/employee contact.
THE LENGTH OF THE RÉSUMÉ: A résumé (particularly in Washington, D.C.) should be no more than one page in length. If yours is longer, SHRINK IT. A résumé is not a comprehensive history of your life and career—that is a curriculum vitae typically used in academia, the legal profession and other fields. A résumé should be a summary of your skills and experience. If necessary, limit job descriptions to one or two sentences, stressing your accomplishments. Your résumé should be easy and quick to read.
PAPER COLOR: White or ivory colored paper is recommended. Avoid bright neon colors or any colors that appear loud and unprofessional. It is not the color of the résumé that makes a candidate stand out; it is the clarity of his/her résumé.
PROOFREADING: Have three different people proofread your résumé. The most common mistakes are spelling errors, inconsistency and gaps in dates. Ask current or past employers, your colleagues, and your mother or father to critique it for the common errors.
RÉSUMÉ STYLE: In Washington, D.C., it is important to list your résumé with experience first. Education and skills should follow. For recent college graduates, listing your education first is perfectly acceptable since experience may be limited. Listing internships is important in helping recent graduates show some experience and familiarity with the public policy profession. Make sure your résumé is written using one font of a reasonable size (8 point is too small; 14 point is too large), and does not mix several different typestyles or fonts. Again, the key is to keep it neat and simple.
SHOW DATES AND LOCATIONS: List dates and locations for any held jobs, internships, etc. Make sure that dates showing large gaps or overlap are justified. Do not forget to note the dates of educational degrees, graduation, graduate studies, etc.
AVOID LONG SENTENCES AND LARGE BLOCKS OF TYPE: At first glance, your résumé will be briefly viewed. Make your résumé easy to understand, and avoid acronyms and lingo. You do not want someone to have to sit and think about what you are trying to convey. Don't list your college courses. Employers already have a good idea of what classes you probably took in college.
TAILOR YOUR RÉSUMÉ: Tailoring your résumé so that it emphasizes your skills concerning a particular job is fine. For example, if your are seeking a political job, you should indicate all relevant political experience (College Republicans, College Democrats or campaign experience, for example). If it is a research position, emphasize these experiences, and so on.
LOCAL ADDRESS: Including a local address for D.C.-area employers is very important. Typically, employers are looking to fill a position within a month and need to start the interview process immediately. For expediency, list your email address if you have one. The best advice is to move into the area as soon as possible to be available for interviews and networking.
- For an entry-level position, omit an "objective" to avoid limiting your employment opportunities.
- Unless you are right out of school, it is not customary to put your high school on your résumé.
- Do not include "References available upon request" on your résumé. It is understood that you will furnish references when asked.

As the slightest chill creeps back into the weather and the mercury-popping summer recedes, some will no doubt feel a bit more spring in their steps. And in a city as diverse as D.C., there's a vast field of opportunity for harnessing those steps.
The Washington Renegades Rugby Football Club has already kicked off its fall season – but just barely. Learn all about the Renegades at dcrugby.com. Ned Kieloch, club president, offers an enthusiastic, "Never too late!" Same goes for the D.C. Gay Flag Football League, which has filled its quota of players, but maintains a waitlist to pick up the stragglers. Register at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Or, should you prefer high-stepping, the DC Lambda Squares are holding an open-house event Monday, Sept. 12, with fall classes beginning Sept. 24. Call the Squares message line at 202-643-2574.
To take some fall steps in retro-fantastic shoes, bowling beckons. Specifically, it's the Capital Area Rainbowlers Association, now forming their fall leagues, a dozen in all.
"All of our leagues are social," promises Robert Treadway, CARA's vice president, who says the primary differences between leagues are location and meeting time. "There are a few leagues with higher-average bowlers, but most people are there to bowl and have a good time." For a full listing of leagues, visit carabowling.org.
If all these leagues, teams and troupes seem excessive when it comes to autumn commitments, Team DC may have the answer that will have you going from summertime sloth to fall fury in just one day. Saturday, Sept. 24, the umbrella group for dozens of local LGBT sports groups offers its first Dodgeball Tournament. To register a team of eight people, with at least two women per team, visit teamdc.org/dodgeball.htm.

While a lot of attention has been focused on an NBA owner who acts like an animal, one big company has been working to protect animals. Maybe Disney should buy the Clippers.
Recently, Disney announced that it has donated a portion of ticket sales during the opening week of their film "Bears" to the National Park Foundation. The organization will be supported via Disney's charitable organization, Disneynature and the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund. Yes, that is a mouthfull, but they do a lot of good work. By teaming up with the NPF, they will help parks that cover over 2.9 million acres, study and protect at least 75 species of animals and plants, provide scholarships to students, and teach thousands of teachers, families and other groups on the importance of wildlife protection and habitat restoration.
Disney's been embarking on a multi-layered system of virtual interactivity in supporting the charitable effort. From specially designed gold pendants and promotional items to Itunes downloads of Olivia Holt's anthem "Carry On," they've left no stone unturned in raising funds for this worthy cause.
"Bears" follows a bear family as two young bear cubs are taught survival during a year in the Alaskan wilderness. From facing brutal winters, hibernation and the life or death search for food, audiences will watch nature unfold as the cubs fight for survival in one of natures last great wildernesses.
