Mobile phone call charges to tumble
Mar 15th
The cost of calling mobile phones from other networks and landlines is set to become cheaper after Ofcom imposed a reduction in charges.
The regulator ruled on Tuesday that termination charges – the amount mobile phone companies bill their rivals for handling calls from their networks – will fall 80% over the next four years, starting from 1 April.
The big three mobile operators – O2, Vodafone and Everything Everywhere, which includes Orange and T-Mobile – currently charge 4.18p a minute to connect calls from other phone companies.
But this will be reduced to 2.66p next month and will fall to 0.69p by April 2014.
Ofcom said it expects landline operators to pass on the cost savings to customers and for mobile operators to offer more choice to customers.
Mobile phone operator 3 UK can currently charge up to 4.48p a minute, slightly more than the other big operators, but its cap will fall in line with its bigger rivals from the start of next month.
The changes are expected to benefit smaller mobile phone operators, which will be able to offer more competitive prices.
Termination rates have already declined by 35% since 2007 when Ofcom last imposed caps on the rates.
The regulator said that while mobile phone companies will lose money from the reduction in charges, they are gaining from a growing trend towards customers using data services, such as text messaging and accessing the internet from their mobile phones.
Data traffic has more than doubled in the past year and now accounts for the majority of traffic over mobile phone networks, said Ofcom. Revenues from data increased by 90% between 2007 and 2009 and are set to grow further.
The termination rate caps apply only to calls, which are likely to account for a less significant proportion of mobile phone companies' revenues over the next four years, added Ofcom.

Mobile phones could run for months between charges

Mobile phones could run for months between charges
Mobile phones could soon run for months rather than days between charges, after scientists discovered how to make them work more efficiently.
A team of electrical engineers at Illinois University in the U.S. believe their method will enable mobiles and laptops to run for up to 100 times longer between charges.
It focuses on changing the way a device's digital memory works, as this consumes much of the charge.
At the moment mobile phone memories contain thin metal wires. Every time information is accessed, electricity is passed through them to retrieve the data.
The electrical engineers thought that if the size of the components used to store and retrieve the information could be reduced, so could the amount of electricity.
They have discovered a way of using carbon nanotubes – tiny tubes 10,000 times thinner than a human hair – instead.
Feng Xiong, a graduate student on the team who was lead author on a paper, to be published in the journal Science, explained: ""The energy consumption is essentially scaled with the volume of the memory bit.
""By using nanoscale contacts, we are able to achieve much smaller power consumption.""
Prof Eric Pop, who led the project, said: ""I think anyone who is dealing with a lot of chargers and plugging things in every night can relate to wanting a cell phone or laptop whose batteries can last for weeks or months.""
He thought that the method could improve a mobile phone's efficiency so much that they could be made to run simply by harvesting heat, kinetic energy or solar energy.

EU to Consider New Plans to Reduce Roaming Phone Charges
Feb 14th
The European Commission will have to consider radical new measures to reduce the cost of mobile roaming charges after almost all respondents to its consultation said prices were unfair.
European roaming prices are currently more than three times that of domestic charges. Even Digital Agenda Commissioner Neelie Kroes on Monday described the current charges as "rip offs." And the prices for data roaming are even higher. "The consumer often pays less than 5 cents for downloading a MB of data at home, but this may turn into 2.60 Euro per MB when the same consumer crosses an invisible border!""said Kroes.
This is despite efforts by the Commission to bring prices down. Caps on roaming were introduced in 2007. Travelers' data-roaming limit is by default set at €50 (US$67) excluding VAT and operators must send users a warning when they reach 80 percent of that. Customers may alter this limit, but the aim of the default setting was to remove the so-called "shock bill" received by many customers on return from abroad.
These rules will apply until the end of June 2012, but the Commission is due to present new plans by June this year aimed at getting closer to the target of zero difference between roaming and national tariffs by 2015.
One idea is to unbundle roaming services from other mobile services, allowing customers to purchase roaming independently of their national mobile provider. Such a move could create an entirely new telecom market.
Other suggestions include legislation to mandate a direct lick between roaming tariffs and domestic prices. "Initial indications from our consultation suggest strong support for continuing price regulation. A significant number of respondents seem to accept that some form of retail price regulation would also need to be introduced for data roaming," said Kroes.
A Eurobarometer survey, also released on Monday, revealed that 72 percent of European mobile phone users limit their voice calls while abroad because they are worried about the cost, while about one in five has cut down their use of roaming services in the past four years.
Meanwhile, Ryanair on Monday launched a roaming service together with Maxroam. Although it claims to be "the world's first free mobile phone roaming service" customers still have to pay for making calls at a fixed rate of €0.29 per minute, and for sending texts at €0.09 each. But Ryanair has also offered 1 million free minutes for incoming calls.

Mobile Facebook arrives on feature phones, free from data charges
Jan 22nd
Facebook users with feature phones will now be able to enjoy the same mobile Facebook experience their smartphone-wielding friends have been embracing – and without the data charges.
"Smartphones have offered better features for sharing with friends but aren't used by most people around the world," says Facebook program manager Mark Heynen in a January 20 blog post.
To help people access their Facebook accounts from their feature phones, Facebook has developed a new application that will work on more than 2,500 devices (around 80 percent of devices sold worldwide) from handset makers such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson and LG.
"The app provides a better Facebook experience for our most popular features, including an easier-to-navigate home screen, contact synchronization, and fast scrolling of photos and friend updates," writes Heynen.
During the first 90 days of launch 14 mobile operators globally have agreed to let feature phone users on their network try the app without any data charges.
The app was built with the assistance of Snaptu, a company that offers "useful, intuitive mobile services to the 95% of mobile users that do not have advance smart phones."
The initiative is similar to Facebook's 0.facebook.com mobile site that was announced in May 2010. The company collaborated with mobile phone operators around the globe to provide fast and free Facebook access to mobile users that were restricted by slow connections and expensive data fees.
Initially feature phone users signed up to Dialog in Sri Lanka, Life in the Ukraine, Play in Poland, StarhHub in Singapore, STC in Saudi Arabia, Three in Hong Kong, Tunisiana in Tunisia, Viva in the Dominican Republic and Vodafone in Romania will be able to access the new Facebook app on m.fb.snaptu.com/f.
The service will launch on Mobilicity in Canada, Reliance in India, Telcel in Mexico, TIM in Brazil and Vivacom in Bulgaria "soon."

NACC drops charges on SMS case against PM and Finance Minister
Dec 24th
BANGKOK, Dec 24 — The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) on Thursday decided to dismiss the complaint on SMS case against Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and Finance Minister Korn Chatikavanij for wrongfully requesting three mobile phone companies to send out mass text messages to 17.2 million numbers free of charge when they first took office in 2008.
The petition, filed by opposition leader Chalerm Yoobamrung, Puea Thai MP chairman and 158 MPs, seeks the removal from office of both Mr. Abhisit and Mr. Korn, accusing them of violating Article 103 of the NACC Act.
NACC Secretary-General Apinan Israngura Na Ayuthaya said in a statement issued on Thursday that the anti-graft agency has decided at its meeting on Thursday to drop the case, as the SMS were sent as a cooperation request from the government and the mobile telephone operators cooperated voluntarily for public benefit.
The NACC also did not find that the move was malfeasance and the three mobile phone companies have not made any gains from doing as asked.
Mr Abhisit and Korn formulated a policy to communicate with citizens before the royal appointment of the prime minister on December 17, 2008.
On December 16, 2008, Korn called a meeting of three mobile phone operators, AIS, Dtac and True Move, asking for their cooperation in provide the SMS messages as a public service.
The SMS were sent out after the government came to power and all messages were screened and approved by Abhisit and Korn. The three operators signed the SMS as sent by UR PM, an abbreviation for your prime minister.
In the message Mr Abhisit asked people to help him solve the country's crisis. Interested mobile phone users were asked to send back their postal codes, at a cost of Bt3.
The three mobile phone operators confirmed they had cooperated in sending out SMS as the public service on several occasions in the past, such as publicity related to the APEC Summit in 2003, the royal ceremonies, tsunami crisis, power seizure and the Bangkok gubernatorial race.
Unlike other short messages sent out as the public service which had no replies, people responded by replying to the SMS sent out by Abhisit and Korn. Each reply generated a Bt3 revenue for the operators.
However, the NACC ruled that the reply of SMS was done by mobile users voluntarily and the operators have paid income tax from the replied SMS in accordance with the law.
Meanwhile, the NACC also dropped the case in which Mr Abhisit was accused of abuse of power by giving Kasit Piromya the foreign minister's post even though Mr Kasit was allegedly involved in the airports seizure by the 'Yellow Shirt' People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD).
The NACC said the case dropped for lack of solid evidence. (MCOT online news)
EU to force mobile phone operators to abolish high 'roaming' charges

EU to force mobile phone operators to abolish high 'roaming' charges
By Sean Poulter
Last updated at 11:42 PM on 8th December 2010
Mobile phone networks have been put on notice that the EU plans to stop them charging more to use handsets when visiting other member states.
For years, Britons have been charged very high fees to make calls and send texts when visiting the Continent for a holiday or business.
The gap between these overseas 'roaming' charges and those levied within the UK has come down substantially over the last five years, following a change in the law by the EU.
However, the European Commission yesterday made clear it wants the tariffs to be exactly the same.
The EU Commissioner for Europe's digital agenda, Neelie Kroes, said the price gap between domestic mobile charges and roaming rates remains unjustifiably high.
Consequently, she said her ultimate aim is to reduce the gap to nothing by 2015.
To date, the Commission has legislated to bring down the cost of making calls and sending texts while visiting other member states.
In future, it plans to do more to reduce the extortionate cost of using smartphones to surf the web or download data when abroad in Europe.
'Huge differences between domestic and roaming charges have no place in a true EU single market,' said Miss Kroes.
She suggested the mobile phone market in Europe is dominated by a few large players like Orange, Vodafone and O2, which means there is too little competition on prices.
'We need to address the source of current problems, namely a lack of competition, and to find a durable solution,' she said.
The Commission is conducting a consultation on the next step that should be taken to cope with rip-offs that occur when people use handsets when visiting other EU states.
Consumers, businesses, telecom operators and public authorities are being invited to give their views to Brussels and Miss Kroes will publish proposals for 'appropriate solutions' next June.
The Commission said: 'Particular areas of interest are the impact of EU rules on mobile users and service providers and what further measures could be taken to promote competition and consumer satisfaction.
'The Commission wants all roaming customers to have rapid and easy access to competitive roaming tariffs for voice, SMS and data, where operators' prices to consumers would be more closely aligned with the true cost of efficiently providing roaming services.'
The measures will be challenged by the mobile networks which have previously made clear that any cut in the cost of using mobiles overseas will be met with a corresponding increase in other charges.
British mobile phone networks have put up charges to use phones in recent years to claw back income lost from lower call charges applied overseas.
Significantly, the European Commission only has powers to regulate mobile phone charges within the EU.
The caps on charges do not apply when Britons travel to other destinations such as the USA and the Far East.
Vodacom Profit Rises as Year-Ago Charges Not Repeated

Vodacom Profit Rises as Year-Ago Charges Not Repeated November 08, 2010, 2:08 AM EST
By Nicky Smith
(Updates with subscribers fall in sixth paragraph.)
Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) — Vodacom Group Ltd., the largest provider of mobile-phone services to South Africans, said fiscal first-half profit surged after year-earlier impairment and tax charges weren't repeated and it spent less on its network.
Net income climbed to 4.42 billion rand ($649.4 million) in the six months through September, from 61 million rand a year earlier, the Johannesburg-based company said in a statement to the city's stock exchange today. Sales rose 3 percent to 29.5 billion rand.
"We had solid revenue growth despite the negative impact from lower mobile-termination rates in South Africa," Chief Executive Officer Pieter Uys said in an e-mailed statement. Data sales jumped 41 percent while capital expenditure fell 30 percent to 2.06 billion rand.
A maturing voice-services market is forcing South African mobile-phone companies to diversify services away from voice. Mobile Internet services are being used for new growth and make up for cuts regulators have made to the fees phone companies charge to carry each other's calls.
Earnings in the prior period were affected by the reversal of a deferred tax asset in the Democratic Republic of the Congo of 551 million rand, after operations in the Central African country declined because of weakening commodity markets and price competition from other operators.
Subscriptions in South Africa fell to 23.9 million from 28.2 million because of laws that require customers to be registered or be disconnected. Vodacom is "hoping for a positive confirmation that we will get an extension" of at least six months on the Dec. 31 deadline for registrations, Uys said on a conference call.
Subscribers in other parts of Africa grew about 16 percent to 15.5 million users. Vodacom is 65 percent-held by Newbury, England based Vodafone Group Plc.

System charges phones and laptops wirelessly
Sep 17th
Mobile-phone users will be able to charge their devices wirelessly for the first time in 2012.
Unlike the current generation of charging "mats," the new technology works at a distance and raises the possibility of a city network quietly charging any cellphone within range.
Fujitsu, the Japanese technology company, has created a system capable of simultaneously charging multiple portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, digital cameras and laptop computers, without the need for cable connections.
Eventually, electric car drivers may also be able to charge their vehicles wirelessly using the same technology, according to Fujitsu, which unveiled a prototype at a conference at Osaka Prefecture University.
The technology works through transmission of electricity using magnetic fields between the charger and the device.
The system enables wireless charging at distances of several metres — meaning a single charger could serve a home, much as a home Wi-Fi device does — with the ultimate aim of public "charging spots" on the streets for easy charging round the clock.
Scientists at Fujitsu Laboratories are planning to sell products incorporating the new wireless charging system as early as 2012, but it has not been disclosed how much they would cost.
"This technology paves the way to integrating compact wireless charging functions into mobile phones and enabling multiple portable devices to be charged simultaneously without any restrictions on their position with respect to the charger," the company said in a statement.
The soaring popularity of portable electronic devices, from iPads to e-readers, is expected to spark a boom in wireless recharging technology developments over the coming decade.
Clean energy: China charges ahead of world
Aug 8th
SHANGHAI — Inside China's massive, $220 million pavilion at the Shanghai Expo, exhibits charting that nation's path toward modernization start with the humble transistor radio and end with electric cars and homegrown technology powered by sun, wind and algae.
The largest Expo in history has drawn more than 30 million visitors. It showcases the country's ambitions to become not just factory to the world but a global leader in technologies of the future — particularly green energy.
For a visitor from the Pacific Northwest, it's hard to escape the parallels with the Seattle World's Fair of 1962, when American ambitions pointed skyward with the Space Needle, and Boeing helped propel aerospace technology to new heights.
The Shanghai Expo, like the Seattle gathering nearly 50 years earlier, seems a watershed event, in this case heralding both a shift in global economic power and a leap in China's imagination.
A Chinese consortium is building a commercial jet to rival the Boeing 737. Chinese car and battery maker BYD ("build your dreams") is launching an all-electric car this year.
But nowhere is China's competitive push more evident than in its rush to dominate clean energy.
Environmental disasters and China's reputation as a prime polluter have driven some of that urgency. The country has become the world's largest energy consumer and its biggest carbon emitter.
Now it's investing billions of dollars in greener, more efficient energy production. Recent incentives and policies encouraging alternative energy have helped Chinese companies leapfrog over competitors to lead the world in areas such as solar power.
As a result, much of the manufacturing for photovoltaic cells and panels has gone to China.
In Washington state, the competitive stakes are high.
In the last decade, investors poured $783 million into clean-tech companies in Washington state, according to the Cleantech Group. The sector, which includes energy generation, green building and environmental engineering, employs about 23,000 people in the Puget Sound area alone.
Politicians and investors are touting clean tech as the growth opportunity of the future. But they worry that American companies are already falling behind.
"Many of these technologies were invented in the U.S., but they have since migrated overseas because there has never been much of a market in the U.S.," said Peter Brehm, vice president of business development and government relations at Infinia, a solar-power company in Kennewick.
Overall clean-technology investments in China reached $34 billion last year, more than any other country and almost double the U.S. investment of $18 billion, according to the Pew Environment Group.
This year, China has attracted more clean-tech financing than Europe and the U.S. combined, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Financing for wind turbines, solar panels and low-carbon technology in China rose 72 percent in the second quarter to $11.5 billion, compared with U.S. investment of $4.9 billion.
The size of the market and a sweeping array of incentives are acting as magnets. Chinese utilities are required to buy up all renewable energy generated in the country and sell to consumers at discounted rates. It helps that China's energy sector is largely state-owned. Government ministries subsidize half of the investment cost for solar-power systems.
That doesn't mean China's growth will be clean.
"A lot of manufacturing is very dirty," said Christopher McNally, a fellow at the East-West Center in Honolulu who studies China's system of state-managed capitalism. "But the policy thrust is very clear. And that is actually what we lack. We don't have a very clear policy of where we're going."
Washington clean-tech companies are staking their future on how well they can both sell to China's growing market and maintain their own edge.
But that's getting harder to do as the U.S. lags in investments and policies that foster development of clean-technology products and build market demand for them, many business leaders say.
"China has a problem with pollution," says Robert Roche, the chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. "They're addressing it from a national view. Our government hasn't decided there's a problem yet."
Recent Chinese actions include a cap on carbon, aggressive fuel-efficiency targets and a plan for $700 billion in investments over the next 10 years, said U.S. Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Bainbridge Island, who met with Chinese environment officials in July.
Without a bold U.S. strategy, money will go elsewhere and domestic enterprises will lose out, he said.
"It's pretty amazing, our lack of performance relative to Chinese aggressiveness in trying to seize these jobs," he said.
Solar-power hotbed
An hour outside Shanghai, factories fill the bland landscape around Kunshan, a satellite city that has become an economic powerhouse.
Amid the electronics companies churning out iPods, mobile phones and laptops, a solar-energy industry is taking shape.
Kunshan is encouraging biotech, wind and solar companies to set up shop. Taiwanese manufacturer Motech Industries started mass production of solar cells there two years ago, and demand now exceeds its capacity.
"The government is involved a lot in the development of industries," said York Wu, vice chief of investment promotion in the New & Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone.
The goal is to make Kunshan a base of renewable energy, producing 400 million to 500 million solar panels.
At a demonstration center near the Motech factory, a young woman in skinny black jeans and precariously high heels leads visitors on a tour of displays.
She shows miniature homes of the future, with green roofs and solar-powered lights, new types of small wind turbines and ultrathin solar-cell material that can be used in roofing or curtains. They even have a model handbag designed to tap sunlight to charge cellphones.
John Evans, an Asia-based business consultant, has been watching the growth of China's clean-technology industry and advising the Washington state Department of Commerce and local companies on strategy.
"China is going to be both a competitor and an opportunity," Evans said. "When the Chinese decide they're really going to push forward with something, they do it quickly and put a lot of money into it."
That means opportunities for Washington companies with cutting-edge technology, such as software to manage smart electricity grids, to sell into the Chinese market, he said. But they may eventually be competing with companies in China.
"China is putting in place incentives, such as tax reductions for investment, to attract companies from across the globe," he said. "That's not necessarily a great thing for Washington state."
More demand overseas
At its factory in Kennewick, Infinia makes a device that captures sunlight through a mirror and converts the heat directly into electricity. Infinia was listed by the Cleantech Group as one of the 100 most promising private companies in the world for addressing environmental challenges.
There is little market yet for its products in the U.S.
Instead, Infinia's technology is in demand in Spain, India and China. Much of its manufacturing may soon follow.
"Other countries are smart enough to incentivize manufacturing. We're not," Vice President Brehm said. "They make it very easy for you to win projects and develop markets over there if you manufacture over there."
Recently, the U.S. Senate scrapped energy legislation that would have placed a cap on carbon emissions by utilities and set new renewable-energy standards.
Opponents called that legislation "cap and tax," saying it would increase energy prices and hamper growth. But Brehm argues the failure to pass that kind of energy legislation is likely to drive more investment overseas.
"The decision not to go forward — all it does is perpetuate the uncertainty that's already in the market for companies like ours that manufacture renewables."
The same factories that make parts like vehicle doors for the U.S. auto industry also make parts for Infinia on the same assembly line, using the same machine tools.
"For converting dwindling auto jobs to real jobs, we are literally the poster child," he said.
Federal stimulus money has helped boost renewables, but the benefits have gone disproportionately to companies with technology that is being made overseas, Brehm argues. Incentives focused on emerging technologies are needed to keep his industry ahead of the curve and support jobs that are still based here, he says.
"Our argument is: where things are manufactured matters," Brehm said.
National showcase
National showcase
Inside China's bright-red Expo pavilion, which replicates an ancient Chinese building style, the larger upper tier is designed to shade the rest of the building, which has a rooftop garden, natural ventilation and rainwater collection.
A display compares carbon emissions of various forms of transportation, and two of China's electric cars are shown, including the YeZ, or "leaf" in Chinese, a concept car designed in Shanghai that absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and emits oxygen. Another display shows how algae is being converted to biodiesel.
The pavilion offers a sharp contrast to the grittier reality of everyday life in most Chinese cities, with their heavily polluted skies and water and sprawl. Near Shanghai, a giant new eco-city was supposed to be completed in time for the Expo, but never made it past the planning stage.
Still, Chinese officials such as Song Chao, director of the Shanghai municipal government's information office, insist the Expo is showing that China can be as innovative as any country.
He said that demonstrating how to make cities more sustainable through clean technology is one way to "let young people know what are the most advanced civilizations and technological developments in the world today."

College Hockey:Princeton, Clarkson Renew Heated Rivalry
Teams Play to 4-4 Tie in League Opener
PRINCETON, N.J. — Len Quesnelle has preached the importance of gaining points from the moment he took over as head coach at Princeton last May. His players apparently have listened closely.
The Tigers earned a valuable point on Friday at Baker Rink with a 4-4 tie against hated Clarkson in the ECAC opener for both clubs. The tie didn't snap Princeton's winless streak against Clarkson, which now is 0-5-2, but it did keep the Tigers undefeated on the season at 1-0-2.
"Even though we lost the lead late in the third period, it definitely was a
good point," said Princeton sophomore forward George Parros, who had two goals and an assist. "We need confidence starting the season, so we'll take this point. Especially against Clarkson. We're sick of them."
Princeton — which hosts St. Lawrence, arguably the top team in the conference, Saturday at 7 p.m. — took a 2-1 lead into the third period. Clarkson pulled ahead at 3-2 with two goals a couple of minutes apart in the opening eight minutes of the third period, neither of which were the fault of junior goalie Dave Stathos, who played a strong match, making 39 saves, including two from
point-blank range inside the final two minutes of regulation.
The Tigers fought back to tie at 12:59 of the third, when Parros scored his second of the night. After several seconds of pressure, the 6-foot-5 Parros gained position in front and was able to redirect a shot from Kirk Lamb past goalie Shawn Grant, who was knocked back into the net as the puck crossed the goal line. Clarkson disputed the goal, claiming Parros ran Grant.
Parros — surprise, surprise — said he was pushed into Grant by a defender.
"[Parros] ran the goalie, or he bumped the goalie," said Clarkson head coach Mark Morris, who clearly was upset afterward by the officiating of referee Fred Campatelli, which seems to be a common occurance when his team plays Princeton. "There was a lot of contact in the crease that wasn't called. There were a lot of things that weren't called. It was humiliating to have to endure the things we did tonight."
The goal stood despite the protest by Morris and his players. Almost five minutes later, with 2:36 remaining, junior Brad Parsons scored from the slot off a nice feed from senior Chris Corrinet to give the Tigers a 4-3 lead. It was the Tigers' third power-play goal of the night.
However, poor coverage in the defensive zone by Princeton, and an extra attacker for the pulled Grant, allowed Rob McFeeters to tie the match with just 1:13 remaining. McFeeters actually was untouched as he sneaked behind Stathos and into the crease to put home a loose rebound.
"If we're going anywhere this year, we've got to take care of business in our own end," Quesnelle said. "Stathos made some great saves, some of which I didn't see, but we didn't help him on some of those rebounds. Clarkson prides itself on getting to the net. And when they get there, they've got some big bodies."
Quesnelle was pleased with the point nonetheless.
"Every point is important," he said. "We'll be looking back saying what a big point it was. This league is always so tight, sometimes one point makes the difference. That's why we're trying to get points every weekend."
Morris, whose team plays at Yale tonight, had a different view.
"That was too much energy expended to come up with nothing, with a game [tonight]," he said. "I give Princeton all the credit for their play the first two periods. But we had the upper hand in the third."
Unpredictably, these two teams have become the most heated of rivals. They have played each other in a number of heated playoff games, dating back to the 1995 ECAC Tournament Final Four, through a two-OT win by Princeton for its first ECAC title in 1998. That was followed by the 80-foot bomb by Willie Mitchell that won a game for Clarkson the following year in Lake Placid with two seconds left after Princeton had rallied from down four goals, and last year's two one-goal defeats by Princeton at Clarkson in the quarterfinals.

Real Name: Jack Barton Adkisson
Birth Date: August 16, 1929
Birth Place: Jewett, TX
Jack Barton Adkisson was born in his family home in Jewett, Texas. He was over 15 lbs at birth and was always bigger than the rest of the kids his age. He later moved to Dallas to attend Crozier Technical High School. Crozier Tech was more of a trade school, but Jack found athletics to be his true calling. He was a great discus thrower and also excelled at football. He received a scholarship to Southern Methodist University in Dallas where he set discus records and was an offensive lineman for the football team. He later lost his scholarship when he decided to marry his high school sweetheart, Doris Smith. After college, Jack played a season of professional football for the Dallas Texans. He had to give up the sport due to injuries. He decided to try wrestling and soon found success when he took on the persona of Fritz Von Erich, a Nazi sympathizer. Jack would be better known as Fritz Von Erich for the rest of his life and even his sons would adopt the last name when they later joined him in the ring. Fritz's wrestling career took his family all over the country. Tragedy first struck the Von Erichs when Fritz, Doris, and their oldest son, Jack Jr., lived in Niagara Falls, NY. Jack Jr. (Jackie) was six years old and decided to walk to a friend's house a few doors down. Another neighbor had been doing work on his home and left some electrical wiring exposed. Jackie brushed against the wires and was immediately knocked unconscious. Jackie fell face first into a puddle of melting snow and drowned. Fritz felt a deep loss and became very angry. He took his anger out on his opponents in the ring. Even the crowd felt his anger when they were brave enough to boo his Nazi character. After his fourth son, Kerry, was born, Fritz became a kinder man and decided to settle his family in one place. The family moved back to Dallas, where Fritz established World Class Championship Wrestling. The promotion achieved great success when the Von Erich boys joined Fritz in the ring. He retired from wrestling in the early 80s, but maintained his ownership of WCCW. After the death of five of his six sons, Fritz decided to leave the wrestling business altogether and retired to his Denton County, TX ranch. He lived a quiet life out of the spotlight, maintaining his many real estate investments. In 1997 cancer was discovered in Fritz's body. Within a month the cancer had spread to his brain and he was given six weeks to live. He died peacefully, on his ranch, on September 10, 1997.
Real Name: Kevin Ross Adkisson
Birth Date: May 15, 1957
Birth Place: Belleville, IL
Kevin, like his brothers, excelled in many sports in college and high school. He received a football scholarship to North Texas State University(now University of North Texas)and played fullback until his junior season when he had to quit due to a knee injury. He soon realized that his plan of playing in the NFL would never be realized and he decided to join his father in the ring. Kevin wrestled for nearly 20 years. He retired in 1993 to spend more time with his wife and four children. Kevin and his family recently moved from the family ranch in Denton County, Texas, very close to the house where he and his brothers were raised. Kevin's family now resides on the north shore of the island of Kauai in Hawaii, where they run the family investment business. In his spare time he enjoys SCUBA diving, spearfishing and just spending time at the beach with his family. Kevin has been married for over 25 years. He has two daughters, Kristen and Jill, and two sons, Ross and Marshall. Kevin also has five grandchildren.
Real Name: David Allen Adkisson
Birth Date: July 22, 1958
Birth Place: Dallas, TX
David Allen Adkisson was born July 22, 1958. David, as well as his brothers, had many fights growing up because of his fathers occupation. Having a wrestler as a father made the boys a t arget for bullies that wanted to say they beat up a wrestler's kid. This brought Kevin, David and Kerry closer together than most brothers and also helped them to develop the fighting skills that they would use in the ring later. David was always very tall for his age which did have its advantages. David became a great basketball player for Lake Dallas High School. He followed in his older brothers footsteps and received an athletic scholarship to North Texas State University for football and basketball. Following Davids college career he joined Kevin in the ring wrestling with his father in WCCW. Kerry soon joined them as well and they teamed up for many six man tag team matches. The most notable was against their rival the Fabulous Freebirds - a tag team consisting of Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy and Buddy Roberts. David was very successful wrestling in one-on-one matches as well. He had great interview skills and the fans quickly fell in love with the Yellow Rose of Texas. Davids career took him all over the United States and Japan. In February of 1984, David traveled to Japan for a three week tour. Before leaving, he complained to Kevin that his stomach had been hurting and that hed been very tired lately. Kevin urged David not to go, but the fact that hed already committed coupled with his love for authentic sushi persuaded him to make the trip. After his match, David returned to his room where he later passed away in his sleep. The cause of death was severe gastroenteritis, which can be serious when left uncured. Davids body was flown back to Texas where he was buried alongside his brother Jackie and his uncle David, his namesake. The funeral procession at David's funeral stretched five miles across Dallas. David will always be remembered by his family for his sense of humor and redhead's temper. He was a wonderful brother, son, and uncle.
Real Name: Kerry Gene Adkisson
Birth Date: February 3, 1960
Birth Place: Niagara Falls, NY
Kerry was the fourth son of Jack and Doris Adkisson. He was born shortly after their first son, Jack Jr. (Jackie) was electrocuted in a tragic accident. Kerry was a great football player and excelled at throwing the discus. He broke records at many levels including his father's own junior world record. He received a scholarship to the University of Houston where the Olympic coach would be his trainer. Kerry qualified for the 1980 US Olympic team, but the games were boycotted that year. He then decided to join his brothers in the ring. Kerry was very charismatic and a great performer. In 1984, he became NWA World Heavyweight Champion and enjoyed years of success in the wrestling industry. Outside of the ring, Kerry was the joker of the family. He loved making people laugh and had a daredevil personality. Kerry lost his foot in a motorcycle accident in 1986. He returned to wrestling with a prosthetic foot, which was unkown to many fans. Kerry became addicted to the drugs that were originally prescribed for the pain from the surgery. In 1993, shortly after his marriage had ended, Kerry was arrested for possesing the painkillers without a prescription and faced prison time. Kerry committed suicide at the family ranch on February 18, 1993. He left behind two loving daughters, Hollie and Lacey.
Real Name: Michael Bret Adkisson
Birth Date: March 2, 1964
Birth Place: Dallas, TX
Mike was born in Dallas, TX after the family had settled in the North Texas area for good. He was the fifth of six brothers, although 4 years younger than his next older brother. Mike looked up to his older brother Kerry, much like David and Kerry looked up to Kevin. Mike found some success in high school sports, but his real love was music. He loved to play guitar and dreamed of a musical career. After high school he found it easier to enter the wrestling profession with his brothers. After the death of his older brother David, the spotlight was turned to Mike to become the next star. Mike found great success right away. His success took him on a tour to Israel in 1985 where Mike suffered a severe shoulder injury. He had a seemingly succesful surgery to repair his shoulder, but soon suffered from a fever that reached as high as 107 degrees. Mike was diagnosed with Toxic Shock Syndrome. He suffered through treatment and came very close to death. Miraculously Mike survived, but had lost most of his body mass. He tried to return to the ring but his body had suffered too much from the illness. Sadly, Mike ended his own life on April 12, 1987.
Real Name: Christopher Barton Adkisson
Birth Date: September 30, 1969
Birth Place: Dallas, TX
At only five and a half feet tall, Chris was the smallest and youngest
of the Von Erich brothers. What he lacked in size he made up for in heart.
Chris was an animal lover and living on a large ranch in East Texas gave
him the opportunity to raise several types of animals including dogs,
flying squirrels, quail, sugar gliders and others. He also had a love
for art and Native American culture. He spent his days as a youth either
working out, raising and breeding animals, creating art or searhcing the
ranch for arrow heads and other Native American artifacts. Chris wanted
to wrestle more than any of the five and worked for
hours daily on his physique. Unfortunatley Chirs suffered from asthma
and was required to take medicine that inhibited his growth and made his
bones very brittle. By the time Chirs was old enough to enter the ring
WCCW was no more and interest in the independent wrestling circuit had
waned. He suffered from broken bones in the ring due to his medication
and was never able to enjoy the fame of his older brothers. Chris became
frustrated and depressed after losing his brothers and his failures in
the ring. He ended his own life on September 12, 1991 shortly before his
22nd birthday.
Real Name: David Michael Ross Adkisson
Birth Date: June 1, 1988
Birth Place: Grand Prairie, TX
Endless hours in the gym and an exceptional work ethic are essential traits of all serious, young athletes, but Ross has also been blessed with agility, speed, and overall natural ability. Ross was a stand-out in track, football, and weight lifting throughout his adolescence. Ross is most commonly compared to Kerry, citing his stance, his graceful running form and his ability to build lean muscle easily. He won several fitness and weight lifting competitions as well as coach's awards and recognition for his performance throughout high school and college. Currently, Ross and his brother Marshall are training at the Pro Wrestling NOAH dojo in Tokyo.
Real Name: Kevin Marshall Adkisson
Birth Date: November 11, 1992
Birth Place: Marshall, TX
Marshall's hard work and dedication in the gym have paid off for this "little brother". After a successful high school football career and being one of the top discus throwers in the state of Hawaii, Marshall decided to join his older brother, Ross, in the ring and form an unbeatable tag team. Marshall's large size and natural charisma make him a force to be reckoned with in the ring. He has chosen to wrestle barefoot just like his father before him and the similarities do not end there. Just like Kevin, Marshall has an uncanny ability to fly through the air like very few big men. His claw hold and claw slam finisher bring opponents to the ground and the crowds to their feet.

I own a couple hundred bottles of nail polish (I know, I know – I should be stopped), but among them, there's no true red. There are a few red glitters and a couple of multichromes that have a flash of deep wine red here and there, but no red red. My partially-bright-purple hair is probably enough to let most people know right off the bat that I'm not much of a traditionalist, but I do think I need a bottle of RGB Classic Red Nail Polish in my life.
My lack of red polish is particularly bizarre when you consider that I went to and still ardently root for a college in whose lore the color red figures prominently – the University of Georgia. That allegiance has caused me to buy lots of red things over the past decade, and this RGB polish is a dead ringer for the school's official color. College football season is only a little over a month away, so for me, that's reason enough to spend the $18 right there.
If you're not a UGA fan (and do realize that most of you are not), there's still plenty of reasons to add this polish to your collection. First, RGB makes great quality nail products. Second, this is a bright, deep, true red – it doesn't lean toward pink or orange or coral, which almost all red polishes tend to, and that makes it a perfect shade for the transitional period between summer and fall that we're about to enter. It's probably about time that I fill the red gap in my collection, and this is how I intend to do it. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $18.

How long after removing Paragard did you get pregnant / issues with Paragard?
I have had my Paragard since February and I don't like it at all, we have a four year old and a 9 month old, previously we had one miscarriage between our baby girls but no other pregnancies and we were not using any kind of contraceptive at all. So, we don't get pregnant very quickly. I do want to have one more baby and for the most part I'd like to do it soon just to have my baby-having days out of the way. but my main issue is this Paragard my periods are completely unpredictable. The last few have been more pain than I have ever felt in my life (I had epidural's both times) but that intense cramping is just more than I can handle, those periods were also very very very heavy, this period is still painful but is not heavy at all... can anyone relate? I know these are natural symptoms but ugh... too unbearable. Oh and does anyone know how much it costs to have it removed? I don't have insurance right now :*( ...the perks of being self employed *sigh*

I have had the paraguard since 2003, after my first child. It is non-hormonal. The major side effect is heavier and irregular cramping (almost like childbirth) and heavier and irregular bleeding (spotting). The ONLY thing I have found takes my cramps away -as long as I take it when I feel the onset of them, is Aleve. I can take one-two and not have cramps for 2 days. My periods seem to last longer, maybe up to 7 days. It is all worth it if you are wanting a natural contraceptive, without affecting your hormone levels. Aleve has been my best friend for 10 yrs. I still have 2 more yrs until my IUD is good til, but I will be 36 this yr. I came to this website to see how fast it would take to get pregnant after renmoval of paragurad. ALSO, The place to go to get it removed it Planned Parenthood - Its a lot cheaper than going to your regular physician/ob/gyn. Hope this helps. :)posted 01/21/2013 by aunsworth
I can understand your sentiments about no insurance (husband job does not offer) but with paragard my periods were regular but I did have spotting in between which was a sign that my period was coming. That never happened before. I did see a difference in my body during my period but when I think about other options like forgetting to the pill (and not properly planning for a child) then I think having it was worth it. Whatever you do, consult your dr first about your problems. A lot of times, nurses or your regular gyn/ob would not mind answer your concerns over the phone. If you really want to have it out it should not cost over $90. My dr does it like a regular gyn visit (without insurance). (Just check yesterday, thinking about having it remove, ready to TTC #2) To have it inserted range from $200- $400 dollars.posted 08/29/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I had paragard for two years and hated it sometimes I would get my period twice a month sometimes it would last two weeks and the cramps were horrible so I had called to get it removed with no insurence as well and they said it would be 230 dollars so I thought about it did some research and sat in the toilet found the string n gave it a tug and it came out I felt so relieved im not saying I did the right thing but in my case it worked but now its been almost three minths my periods are normal but cant get pregnant im so worried about this and so sad because we really want another baby and I got pregnant so easily with my other kids so fingers crossed n good luck to you!posted 08/22/2012 by toryac0417

Postgame Notes
April 2, 2011
With the loss, Tech is now 2-3 against the Sooners over the last two years and 31-6 all-time in the series. The two teams have split the regular season series in each of the last two seasons.
Emily Bledsoe's walk in the first inning marked the 39th time in Tech's 40 games this season she has reached base.
Mikey Kenney's doubles in the sixth and seventh innings give her 15 on the year, which is tops in the Big 12 Conference. Kenney finished 2-for-3 at the plate with two RBIs and two runs scored.
Cydney Allen finished 2-for-3 at the plate as well with two RBIs and a run scored. Allen and Kenney both now have 12 multiple-hit games this year, while Allen recorded her team-leading 14th multiple-RBI game. It marked Kenney's eighth game with multiple RBIs.
The loss dropped Tech to 9-14 against ranked opponents under second-year head coach Shanon Hays. The Red Raiders are also 3-3 against ranked teams this year.
Hays stayed with the same lineup Saturday as the series opener the night before, going with Logan Hall once again in the leadoff spot with Mikey Kenney moving to No. 3 in the order.
Tech extended its error-less streak to 34.2 straight innings that dates back to the third inning against Boston University on March 19. The Red Raiders have not had an error in eight of their last nine games.
Karli Merlich had one of her best outings this season in relief as she did not allow a hit over the final 2.2 innings.

Why IMF chief had to walk the 'perp walk'
US police often embarrass alleged perpetrators by parading them in front of the media, and Dominique Strauss-Kahn was no exception..PT0M0S 620 349
It's April 28, an icy Thursday afternoon, and Dominique Strauss-Kahn is ensconced at a restaurant table with a journalist from Liberation, the legendary Parisian newspaper founded by Jean-Paul Sartre.
The lunch date, in an eatery in the French capital's second arrondissement, had been made in secret: the IMF chief and presidential hopeful had been in town all week from Washington and the chat was to be held ''en toute confidentialite''.
Cordial and smiling, DSK as he is known in France, nevertheless appeared cautious, suspicious even. As he extended his hand towards the journalist waiting for him, he asked if he was carrying a mobile telephone.
Behind bars accused of rape...Dominique Strauss-Kahn, unshaven and dishevelled, faces Manhattan Criminal Court after being subjected to media humiliation.
Strauss-Kahn explained that he carries two: one for IMF business, encrypted for security, and the other for personal business. The personal one, he said, had been left at reception as a precaution against the
''strong feeling'' that he was under surveillance, fearful of dirty tricks by the French Interior Ministry.
Over the next couple of hours, the IMF chief - without confirming formally or on the record - made very clear to the left-leaning Liberation that he was on the path to formally declaring his candidacy for the French presidency. An informal pact with the Socialist Party's leader, Martine Aubry, would see her withdraw her own foray for the top job and so would begin the long - ''too long'' in his view - campaign to become President de la Republique Francais.
IMF Chief Strauss-Kahn in court
IMF Chief Dominique Strauss- Khan faces Manhattan Criminal Court two days after he was arrested on a plane and accused of trying to rape a Manhattan hotel chambermaid.
Then the bombshell, if only in hindsight.
Without prompting or questions from the reporter, DSK proceeded to outline the three obstacles he foresaw in his run for France's top job: ''Le fric, les femmes et ma judeite.'' (Money, women and my being a Jew.)
Strauss-Kahn, however, chose to begin his explanation with the woman problem: ''Yes, I love women … et alors? [So what?] Over many years people speak of photos of giant orgies … but I have yet to see them emerge. So, let's see them. Bring it on!'' he told Liberation.
Then he recalls a chance meeting with Nicolas Sarkozy, at a urinal during an international summit when he asked his political rival to stop the forays into his personal life. Continuing the story, he veers into the imaginary, portraying himself as a potential victim of a political set-up saying: ''A woman [who claims to be raped by him in a car park] and who has been promised €500,000 or €1 million to invent such a story.''
Strauss-Kahn's prescient - and now chilling - observations less than a month ago encapsulate the polarised reaction of the French people, and its media and political class, to the bombshell arrest for attempted rape on Sunday of one of their leading global figures.
While President Sarkozy apparently has expressed private delight at the fall of his most serious political rival, his office has been restrained in public.
Le Monde reported that a spokesman for the French government, Francois Baroin, had asked for ''extraordinary prudence'', telling the television station France2 there were two issues that must be respected: the legal process and respect for the presumption of innocence.
The so-called ''perp walk'' - in which the accused in the US are paraded in handcuffs for the media - has shocked France, perhaps even more than the alleged crime for which he is now in custody. Blogs by both pundits and observers were outraged by Strauss-Kahn's treatment at the hands of the New York police, with many questioning the effect of images of the IMF head, unshaven and dishevelled, on potential jurors.
Liberation has yet to publish the full interview but has provided a precis of the confidential lunch in which DSK also dismissed the problem of ''le fric'' - his wealth and money - and its clash with Socialist ideals, saying it was the personal fortune of is wife, Anne Sinclair, a journalist and heiress.
On his being Jewish, Strauss-Kahn noted that this was already being used against him: a comment he made in 1991 to the Jewish Tribune - that every morning he wakes and asks himself how he can be ''helpful to the state of Israel'' - has gone viral on the web. This had been ''idiocy'', he told Liberation, ''but I did not contradict it on the spot''.
Three weeks after his extraordinary chat with a friendly French newspaper, the IMF chief is behind bars in New York's notorious Rikers Island prison, and due to appear in court again on Friday.
His lawyers say he has a cast iron alibi - lunch with his daughter, a graduate student at Columbia University, in New York, on the very day of the alleged rape.
The world - not just France - awaits the next instalment with bated breath.

I am on a school computer (Ubuntu Lucid Lynx) and I would like to run some code that has dependencies on certain libraries. I would like to install those libraries into my user account using apt instead of having to compile them source, as I don't want to deal with dependency hell. Is this possible?
No, you cant use apt without root or superuser access.
The next best thing you can do is to download the packages manually, then use is
You could be sneaky and set up a private RPM repository, but that's more trouble than it's worth and probably easier to add another system to the network, get permission, or have a virtual machine set up for you with a few additional privileges granted. Make friends with an authorized admin, being up front, and maybe they can open other doors for you.

Sex Tape review: Not even a naked Cameron Diaz can save this limp farceMovies
Trailer: Sex Tape
A married couple wake up to discover that the sex tape they made the evening before has gone missing, leading to a frantic search for its whereabouts.PT1M40S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-3a1jr 620 349 June 13, 2014

The lure of a nude Cameron Diaz – even discreetly framed – may seem like a surefire way to sell tickets. But if the challenge of making a successful adult comedy lies in combining the right proportions of raunch and sentiment, then Sex Tape – directed by Jake Kasdan (Walk Hard) from a script by Kate Angelo, Nicholas Stoller and co-star Jason Segel – shows how that balancing act can go wrong.
Segel and Diaz play Jay and Annie, a bored married couple who shoot an intimate home movie, then find themselves racing through the night to stop it going viral. This is a premise that provides plenty of opportunity for high jinks, and while I can handle Segel's hangdog self-ironising goofiness only in small doses, both stars are undeniably pros.
New boots and panties: Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz try to spice up their love life in Sex Tape.
Still, there are early indications that the film isn't going to work. First, the title is off: strictly speaking there's no tape here, just an MP4 file, and the details of how it finds its way onto the cloud are convoluted and never funny.
Second, we're told that Jay and Annie spent their evening of passion working through every position to be found in a 1970s copy of The Joy of Sex. But how provocative, really, is the notion of amateur porn that proceeds literally by the book? For comic effect, Kasdan and his team might have been better advised to skip over the details and let the viewer's imagination run wild.
The overall problem is that for an supposedly outrageous farce Sex Tape plays things extremely safe. Kasdan may not be a puritan in the usual sense, but he's too temperamentally cautious to make the film openly an exercise in titillation, or to risk pointed satire of either wholesome family values or the porn industry itself.
He even avoids assigning his protagonists any overly specific character traits. Jay works in the music industry, but we learn nothing about what the job means to him. Still less persuasively, Annie is depicted as a "mommy blogger" who's about to sign a deal with a multinational toy company, a career move we're meant to see as a positive even after her future boss Hank, played by Rob Lowe, proves thoroughly deranged.
Lowe's presence is intended as a joke in itself – but will his notoriety as the original celebrity sex tape star be recalled by many viewers under 40? At any rate, an interminable sequence set in Hank's mansion, where Annie snorts coke while Jay is chased by a German shepherd, is one of the weakest excuses for a comic setpiece in any recent film not starring Adam Sandler.

Predict and win
by BetButler
Latest from BetButler's SAFC Fan Prediction League.
It was the first week of the Sunderland Fan Prediction League last week and Black Cats fan 'House' set a fast pace.
'House' beat players from other clubs to win the Bet Butler prize league last week with a massive 23.6 points, pocketing £50 in free bets from SAFC official betting partner Bet Butler. Unsurprisingly, 'House' also topped the SAFC league, winning a signed ball and a further £15 in free bets.
Here's how he did it:
- Arsenal to beat Norwich City 3-1: Scored 5.6 points (correct score)
- Aston Villa to draw with Fulham 2-2: 2.6 points (right result)
- Everton to beat QPR 2-0: 5.7 points (correct score)
- Southampton to draw with West Ham 1-1: 6.8 points (correct score)
- Sunderland to beat Newcastle 2-1: 2.9 points (right result)
Plenty of Black Cats fans bagged the bigger points on offer with the Sunderland away. There were quite a few 1-2 predictions, but no-one correctly guessed 0-3 – Well it was a 100/1 shot!
The top five in the Sunderland League was:
- House – 23.6 pts
- Hoody48 – 19.2 pts
- Daveycat 18.0 pts
- Jimmyp – 18.7 pts
- Yas – 17.4 pts
We all know some matches are easier to predict than others, and this is where the Sunderland Bet Butler Fan Prediction League is a whole new ball game. Each game's scoreline is weighted, so if you tackle the harder-to-predict matches then you can earn more points.
There's plenty to play for, with weekly, monthly prizes and of course the grand prize of £1,000 in free bets from Bet Butler and a never forget stadium tour with Black Cats legend Jimmy Montgomery.

To steal the slogan from the Big Ten Tournament last week, "March is on!"
Our team had a terrific weekend in Indianapolis, advancing to the championship game of the Big Ten Tournament. We started off with a great win over No. 6 seed Penn State. Kelly Krei had a big game for us, scoring 20 points. Jaime Printy led us is in scoring with 22 points. It was so fun to celebrate with our team in the locker room after the game. The team even convinced me to do a dance move or two with them, and the Big Ten Network captured it on camera! Let's just say I'm not as gifted as some of our players when it comes to dancing.
We took on No. 2 seed Michigan State the next day, and won a very physical contest. I was so proud of the way our team took hit after hit, but kept coming back. You could see the fight and determination in the players' eyes. They were not going to be denied a chance to win the Big Ten Tournament championship. Once again, our locker room was pretty crazy after the victory!
We came up a little short in the championship, falling to No. 1 seed and 10th-ranked Ohio State by just two points. It was a tough loss for the team to take because we were so close to coming away with a championship. I think the team's maturity showed in the loss, because everyone is using the game as motivation for post-season play and for next year's Big Ten Tournament.
I would also like to congratulate Kamille Wahlin, Kelly Krei and Kachine Alexander for making the Big Ten Tournament all-tournament team. All three players were very deserving of the honor.
Now we have to wait until Monday for the NCAA selection show. I feel our Big Ten Tournament run helped solidify our case to be included in the field of 64. We have a solid RPI and strength of schedule and we also finished the season very strong. We will get together and watch the selection show as a team, and hopefully be doing some more dance moves to celebrate!
Thanks to all the fans that supported us, not only in Indianapolis, but across the country. I'm amazed at all the e-mails and phone calls our staff has received over the past few weeks. Your continued support and kind words really do fuel both the coaches and players in practice and in games. Hawkeye fans are second to none, and we really do appreciate everything you do for us!
I can't believe March is here already! This is such an exciting time in the world of women's basketball. Post-season play is something everyone associated with our program looks forward to.
Once again, a big thank you to the bus loads of fans that traveled to Madison Sunday for our game. Wisconsin had a great crowd for Senior Day, with over 11,000 people in attendance. But, it was so great to have the entire section behind our bench painted Black and Gold! I've heard our players say it all year, but the excitement and energy from our fans really helps this young team during crunch time. They really feed off the crowd, so thank you again for taking your time and hard-earned money to support the Hawkeyes.
We had two great wins last week that helped us wrap up third place in the Big Ten and the No. 3 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. It's so nice having that first round bye, and playing an opponent that has already played one game. We are looking forward to the Big Ten Tournament, and hoping we can go on a run!
I'd also like to congratulate our players who earned all-Big Ten awards. Jaime Printy was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year, along with second team all-Big Ten by the media, third team all-Big Ten by the coaches and was a unanimous pick for the all-Freshman Team. Kachine Alexander was first team all-Big Ten by the coaches, and was second team by the media. Kash was also one of five players named to the all-Defensive team. Also, Kamille Wahlin was third team all-Big Ten by both the coaches and media.
It's pretty special that our entire backcourt earned all-Big Ten honors. I know our players are pretty quick to shy away from individual attention, but I am very proud to have such a great presence on the all-Big Ten teams.
I hope everyone will be able to follow us in one way or another in Indianapolis. Our game Friday will start between 12:30 and 1 p.m. (25 minutes after the first game of the day). You can watch it live on the Big Ten Network (in HD), or listen to the game on the Hawkeye Radio Network. If you aren't near a radio, you can subscribe and listen to us online at hawkeyesports.com, or pull up the Gametracker link.
Thanks again to all our amazing fans. We are hoping to bring back a few more wins for you in Indy!
I hope everyone is doing well after yet another snowfall here in Eastern Iowa. I don't know about you, but I'm ready to see some green grass instead of white snow! Our bus trip back from Evanston yesterday took a little longer than expected with the road conditions, but we made it home safely.
I'd like to thank all the fans who traveled to Evanston yesterday. We had an amazing crowd on hand, and wish we could have sent you home with a win. Give credit to Northwestern, they just played better than us yesterday. They shot the ball well from outside, and used their size in the paint to their advantage. We took a lot from this loss, and our players are eager to get back to practice.
We did pick up a nice win last Thursday over a talented Minnesota team. Morgan Johnson set a new school and Carver-Hawkeye Arena records with eight blocks! She does such a nice job of using her wing span to her advantage. She never swings when she blocks shots. Morgan simply goes straight up, and makes it difficult for opponents to score. Congrats to Morgan!
We have two games left in the regular season, and they are both extremely important. Not only are we playing for seeding in the Big Ten Tournament, we are playing for a chance to make the NCAA Tournament. We feel with two wins to close the regular season, along with a solid run in the Big Ten Tournament, we could play our way into an at-large bid. Our players are excited about the opportunity for post-season play, but understand we need to take it one game at a time.
Next up is Indiana at Carver-Hawkeye Arena Thursday night. It's "Senior Night," and we will be honoring JoAnn Hamlin. JoAnn's story has been well documented this year, and we are so thankful to have her on this team. I hope you can make it to Carver Thursday night to help us honor JoAnn, and to cheer us on to a victory!
After Thursday, we travel to Wisconsin for the regular season finale. Georgia Johnson has once again organized bus trips for fans interested in watching us in Madison. You can call Georgia at (319) 480-6020, or at (319) 480-9878 to reserve a seat. It's only $35, and that includes a game ticket!
We hope to see you at Carver Thursday, in Madison on Sunday or better yet, at both games!
I hope everyone had a great weekend, and it was awesome to see so many of you at Carver-Hawkeye Arena yesterday. We had an amazing crowd on hand for Valentine's Day, and our team is so appreciative of our loyal fan base. You really helped us yesterday in the final minutes against Illinois!
Our team is on a little bit of a roll right now, winning six of our last seven games, with the only loss coming by four points at conference-leader Ohio State. We've climbed all the way to fifth place in the Big Ten standings, and are close to moving up to fourth. I can't say enough about the fight and determination of this team. We have come a long way in the last month and we are anxious to finish these final four regular season games on a high note!
Congratulations to Kachine and Jaime for their Big Ten honors. Kachine was named Big Ten Player of the Week, and Jaime was named conference Freshman of the Week for the fourth time. They both deserve the recognition after the way they played last week. Jaime took over in the second half against Indiana, scoring 14-straight points. Kachine had a double-double in the first half against Indiana! That is just amazing, and speaks to how hard she works at rebounding.
Kachine had another great game Sunday against Illinois, setting school and Carver-Hawkeye Arena records for free throws made (17) and attempted (20). Her 17 made free throws were also a record for a Big Ten game. She does a great job getting herself to the free throw line, and has improved her shot from the line. Jaime scored 17 points against Illinois and helped us sprint out to our biggest halftime lead of the season.
We would love to see another great crowd on hand Thursday when we host Minnesota at 7:30 p.m. We lost a tough overtime game at Minnesota earlier in the season and know it will be a hard-fought game. Our players always comment on how much the fans help fire them up before and during games. Come out and support our team, as we only have two home games left this season! If you can't make it to the game Thursday, it will be televised live on the Big Ten Network.
Once again, it's always nice to write you after a big victory. The team performed very well against a tough and physical Michigan State team Sunday. A big thanks to all the fans that braved the weather and sacrificed some Super Bowl viewing to come out and support us. We love our fans and it's always great to give you a win!
I thought two big keys to Sunday's win were rebounding and free throws. We out-rebounded a much taller team by 10, led by Kachine Alexander, who had 10 boards. We also converted 20 of our 23 free throw attempts. Kash made all six of her free throws in the final minute of the game, which was crucial down the stretch.
I also love to see our box score after a4 game when we have so many players score double figures. All five starters scored at least 10 points, and we are 9-0 this year when we have four or more players score double figures. It makes us difficult to guard when we have five players who can score from almost anywhere on the court.
Last Thursday at Ohio State was a tough loss for our team, but you can't fault the effort. We led for most of the game, which is tough to do at Value City Arena. Our team wasn't intimidated playing the No. 8 team in the country and Jaime Printy played a terrific game. It would have been really nice to come away with the road win, but it was a great experience for our team to go through.
Next up for us is another road trip, this time to Indiana Thursday night. Hopefully this winter weather will subside in time for us to leave town after practice Wednesday evening. After Thursday, we host Illinois Sunday at 2 p.m. It would be great to have another outstanding crowd on hand when the Fighting Illini comes to town!
We are heading down the final stretch of games, so each matchup is important. The Big Ten is extremely close this year, and every win helps us move up in the conference.
Thanks and, as always, Go Hawks!
First off, I want to thank all the fans that turned out for our game against Purdue. A big thank you to all the Girl Scouts in attendance! It was great to see such an amazing, vocal crowd at Carver-Hawkeye Arena yesterday. I can't get the chant of "Thin Mints" out of my head!
Sunday was a great day for our team. We struggled the last time we played Purdue, and it felt great to come away with an impressive win against a very talented team. We had so many players perform at a high level. It's hard to single out one individual, especially when you have five players score double figures. I thought we rebounded very well, and took care of the basketball against a team that is known for its pressure defense.
Also, I would like to congratulate Morgan Johnson for being named Big Ten Freshman of the Week! She played extremely well against Purdue, making her first seven shots. She certainly deserves the award, and I am thrilled with how she played Sunday.
The team is in great spirits after winning three-straight games. It's always fun to win and our young team is enjoying the winning streak. We took Monday off of practice, but will be back to work Tuesday.
Next up is Ohio State. They are ranked in the top 10 and will be a very tough challenge, especially playing in Columbus. The game will be televised live on the Big Ten Network, so be sure to tune in!
Thanks and Go Hawks!
It's great to talk to you after two-straight wins by our team! We started the week with our first road win in Big Ten play, knocking off Illinois in Champaign. We then returned home to face a much improved Northwestern team Sunday, and came away with another win.
We couldn't be happier riding a two-game winning streak into our final "bye" week. We are off this Thursday, which gives us some extra time to rest and recharge our batteries. The Big Ten season is a grind, especially with such a young team. I keep saying how impressed I am with our underclassmen, and my opinion hasn't changed. We have a great amount of young talent on the team, and they are maturing with each game.
Freshman Jaime Printy had two impressive outings for us last week. She scored 22 points at Illinois, and followed with 23 points against Northwestern. Jaime is scoring from everywhere on the court; she can hit the three-pointer, penetrate and score off layups and she is a phenomenal free throw shooter. She plays with such a presence on the court, and it's great to have that out of a freshman.
The attitude around Carver-Hawkeye Arena has been great over the past 10 days. Our men's basketball team has won three of its last four games, and we are all impressed at the progress that team is making, as well. They are a fun group to watch, and we wish Coach Lickliter and his team continued success throughout the Big Ten season. It's also been fun watching our national champion wrestling team continue their path towards "domination," as Coach Brands says. That team is a great example of how to win, and we are confident they will be making some "March Madness" of their own!
Once again, I'd like to invite everyone out to Carver this Sunday for our game against Purdue at 2 p.m. It's "Pack the House" night, and we are hoping for a huge crowd! I can't tell you how much of a difference the fans make in our arena. You can just feel the momentum swing when the Carver faithful start to cheer! Thanks to all the fans who have attended games so far this season, and hope to see everyone this Sunday!
Go Hawks!
It's been a while since we last communicated, and things have been pretty busy for our women's basketball team. We have been through a lot, as a team, this season, with three of our student-athletes suffering season-ending injuries.
By now, everyone has heard about JoAnn Hamlin and her blood clot issue. JoAnn is doing well and her rehab is going great. She is able to lift weights and run, but has to stay away from any contact. I joked with JoAnn the other day that I almost wish she was in some sort of cast, because then I could physically see she was unable to play. She looks great, physically, but has to avoid all contact while on blood thinners. It's a tough situation, but we are very proud of how she has handled things.
Over the last month, we have lost two more important members of our team to season-ending injuries, as well. Freshman Theairra Taylor had worked her way into the starting lineup, but suffered a knee injury in our win over South Dakota State. Theairra had surgery and is currently rehabbing her knee, and we can't wait to get her back on the court next season. She is a quick, strong and athletic player for us.
We also lost sophomore Hannah Draxten for the year. She entered the season with some back issues, but showed a lot of toughness and tried to get on the court for us. She even managed to see action in four games, but the pain was too much for her to handle. I can't say enough about her toughness. While in pain, she still managed to practice and play before it got to be too much. Hannah will redshirt this year and we are also anxious for her to be back in 2010-11.
Even though our record doesn't show it, we have been a very competitive team in Big Ten play. We are 1-6 in the league, but two of those losses came in overtime, and one more was only by three points. We also let a late lead against Penn State slip away at the end. Closing out games has been a challenge for our young team, and we are working hard in practice to make sure that starts to happen.
This team has been a great group of student-athletes to coach so far this season. They come to practice every day ready to work hard, and have kept their heads up even through this tough stretch of Big Ten games.
I'd also like to send a quick congratulations to both Coach Ferentz on the great FedEx Orange Bowl victory, and to Coach Lickliter for a great win over Penn State last weekend. The entire team was huddled around a laptop listening to Gary Dolphin call the action down the stretch as the men's basketball team knocked off the Nittany Lions (we were on our way to Purdue). I know our student-athletes enjoy attending men's basketball games, and they are a fun group of players to watch.
Lastly, I'd like to invite everyone out to Carver-Hawkeye Arena to us play! We host two-straight home games, starting this Sunday at 4 p.m. against Northwestern. The following Sunday (Jan. 31), we host Purdue at 2 p.m., and that game will be televised live to national audience on ESPN2. We want to "Pack the House" against Purdue, and fill our arena so it looks great on national TV!
Thanks and Go Hawks!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, full of too much turkey and quality family time. Our team had a great trip to Reno for the Nugget Classic, hosted by the University of Nevada.
We went 1-1 in Reno, losing a tough game to a very athletic West Virginia team, but bounced back to win a thrilling game against Columbia. Jaime Printy hit a three-pointer to tie the game with under one minute to play, and Kamille Wahlin gave us the win with a three-pointer with only 10 seconds left. I thought our team did a great job of executing the final play to get the lead, and played great defense to preserve the win. Kamille was named to the all-tournament team, making it her second all-tournament team award this year. Congrats Kamille!
On Thanksgiving Day, we took the team to the Heavenly Ski Resort at Lake Tahoe. We didn't strap on any skis, but the team rode a gondola to the top of the mountain, and took in the breathtaking sights of Lake Tahoe. I think the team really enjoyed the view from the observation deck, and even posed for some pictures with the local snowboarders. We had a really fun afternoon spending time together as a team at Lake Tahoe. If you've never been there, I suggest making the trip. What a gorgeous place!
We got back to the hotel in time for the wonderful Thanksgiving buffet the Nugget Hotel put on for the teams staying at the hotel. They had all the traditional food, with turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy and stuffing. We were able to talk with the other teams staying at the hotel, and had a nice Thanksgiving together as a team.
We returned home late Sunday, and had a very short time to prepare for Boston College in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. Even though we lost, I thought our team fought hard for the entire 40 minutes. Boston College returned all five starters, but our freshmen and sophomores battled against their juniors and seniors, and almost came away with the win.
Our final game of this tough stretch was Sunday night against Michigan, which turned out to be another hard-fought loss. Once again, our team didn't give up after falling behind early, and had a chance to win at the end. Unfortunately, some shots didn't fall, and Michigan escaped with the win. This game marks the second time we have lost by only three points, and the third time we lost by less than six points. It just shows how important it is to convert possessions during the game, because one more offensive rebound or forced turnover could be a difference in those types of games. But, I have complete confidence that our young team will continue to grow and learn how to finish close games like that.
Now, we step back out of conference play, and will face Iowa State Thursday. It's always tough playing in Ames, and in-state rivals always present a challenge. We will do our best to bring home two points for the Hawkeyes in the annual Hy-Vee Cy-Hawk Series.
Thanks, and until next time, GO HAWKS!
We have played two games since the last time we communicated, and we are 3-1 on the season.
Last Wednesday, we played a very tough, athletic Kansas team that came to Iowa City as the 19th-ranked team in the country. Even though we lost, I was very proud of the way our team fought the entire game. We just ran out of gas at the end, and Kansas played well down the stretch. They are a very talented team that will do good things in the Big 12 and NCAA Tournament this season.
We learned on Friday that Kachine has a stress fracture in her leg, and will miss at least a month of action. This was very hard news to take, especially with all the other injuries we have had to overcome this year. Kachine is one of our leaders, both statistically and emotionally. She is one of the most exciting players to watch in the Big Ten, and we are going to miss having her on the court.
With that being said, I thought our team did a great job coming away with a win at Northern Iowa Sunday. It was great to see Theairra and Gabby back on the court after they had some injury setbacks. Like I've said all season, our freshmen aren't playing like rookies. Three of our four leading scorers at Northern Iowa were freshmen. And, what can you say about Kamille's performance? To come away with 33 points in any game is an impressive accomplishment. She was on fire in the second half, and hit a couple three pointers that were WAY beyond the line. Also, Morgan Johnson tied a school record by blocking seven shots in the game! She played a great game, defensively, for us.
Now, our focus shifts to William & Mary, who we host Tuesday night. They will be another tough opponent for us. Then, we head to Reno for our annual Thanksgiving tournament. We will face West Virginia, and then either Columbia or Nevada. All three teams are loaded with talent, and playing on the road is always a challenge. But, the team is looking forward to spending some time together over the holiday. It's always great to watch the team come together on these trips. Our team is like a family, and they really care about each other.
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, and be sure to follow us out in Reno on hawkeyesports.com!
Welcome back to another year of Iowa women's basketball! We couldn't be more excited to have the season underway.
It's been a very emotional start to the season, with all the injuries we have gone through. Obviously, not having our only senior, JoAnn Hamlin, is a big loss. We are constantly thinking about her, and the players and coaches have spent a lot of time over at the hospital trying to keep her in good spirits. To get a blood clot in your leg like that at such a young age is a tough thing to go through, but JoAnn has been positive during the entire process, and we can't wait for her to get out of the hospital and back on the bench supporting the team.
We've had to play short-handed the past few weeks, with three other players picking up injuries. But, our team has done a nice job of responding, and it's great to see our team coming together as a family.
But enough about injuries. We opened the season last weekend by hosting the KCRG-TV9 Hawkeye Challenge, and came away with the tournament championship! Congratulations to Kamille Wahlin and Kachine Alexander on being named to the all-tournament team. Kachine was also named co-Big Ten Player of the Week and tournament MVP after putting up a double-double in both games! Like I've said before, Kachine is one of the most exciting players to watch in the Big Ten. She has the ability to get to almost every loose ball, and her hustle is hard to match.
It was great to see our team on the court in an "official" game last weekend. I thought our freshmen played at a high level, and didn't play like rookies. We had players log a lot of minutes over the weekend...Kelly Krei played the entire game against Illinois State and shot the ball extremely well from the perimeter. We will need those types of efforts to be successful this season.
We were very happy to come away with two wins against quality opponents. Santa Clara is a very talented team, and Illinois State was a tough matchup. It's great to be 2-0 heading into another difficult stretch of games. We play 19th-ranked Kansas Wednesday night, and it's Buck Night! Tickets are only $1, so come out and support the Hawkeyes against a quality Big 12 opponent. We then take our first road trip of the year Sunday when we head to Northern Iowa. In-state games always present a unique challenge, and we need to be on top of our game against the Panthers.
Thanks, as always, to our great fans. Our freshmen commented on how great it was to hear the cheering fans for the first time as they ran out of the tunnel at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Keep coming out and supporting our team, and we hope to see everyone Wednesday night for Buck Night!
Go Hawks!
