Anthem Chamber Benefits Program
Joining price clubs or buying in bulk can save you money. But did you ever think that approach applied to health benefits? Well it does. That's because the Central Ohio Chambers of Commerce and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield have teamed to offer special rates for Chamber members. When you choose Chamber Plan, you get an affordable, flexible small business health plan backed by the strength of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
Welcome to the Club
- When you join Chamber Plan, your small business becomes part of a larger pool of business owners, so one large claim won't drive your premiums through the roof.

- You can offer employees a jumbo benefits package by offering them life, disability, dental, vision and voluntary products.

Choose the Chamber Plan that Fits Your Budget and Needs
Whichever plan you choose, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield provides the quality, convenience, selection and broad coverage you demand and expect.
- Anthem's point-of-service (POS) plan is an affordable way to offer employees some flexibility in choosing their health care providers.
- Anthem's preferred provider organization (PPO) is a cost-effective plan that offers employees even more flexibility in selecting providers.
- Anthem's comprehensive major medical (CMM) is a traditional plan that offers employees the most freedom.
Choose Chamber Plan, Save Money
When you choose Chamber Plan, you can relax knowing you made the right choice. The Central Ohio Chambers reviewed many health carriers but only endorsed Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Business executives ranked the universally recognized Blue Cross and Blue Shield System #1 for providing the best health care coverage.

It is becoming more and more common for the bride and groom live together before marriage, and because of this they already have all the essential homewares which are usually the traditional gifts given at a wedding.
So to avoid receiving gifts that you've already got or things that you don't need, a popular choice is to ask for money as a gift. Some brides and grooms may feel it is better to ask out right or others feel a subtle poem may be less offensive.
It will sound better if you can say what you are putting the money towards, for example, to put towards a honeymoon, or a deposit on a house.
Here are some poems....
We are sending out this invitation
In hope you will join a celebration
But if a gift is your intention
May we take this opportunity to mention
We have already got a kettle and toaster
crockery, dinner mats and matching coasters
So rather than something we've already got
We would appreciate money for our honeymoon pot
But most importantly we request
That you come to our wedding as our guest
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
We don't want to offend but we have it all,
All household goods and so much more.
To save you shopping, sit back and rest,
A gift of currency is our request.
Don't go overboard or rob any banks,
Any little thing will make us smile with thanks.
We supply the wishing well,
No wrapping, an envelop who can tell.
Now that we have saved you all the fuss,
It would be appreciated if you would come
And celebrate with us
Now we are to be Mr & Mrs
We don't need a wedding list of dishes
We have two kettles, two toasters, two microwaves
We require a house for which we have to save.
If you would like to give us a gift,
A cheque or vouchers would give us a lift
We like to think of it as our 'wishing well'
Which will be filled with your love, we can tell.
If you were thinking of giving us a gift, to help us on our way.
A gift of cash towards our house, would really make our day.
However, if you prefer to purchase a gift, feel free to surprise us in your own way.
So what do you get
For the bride and groom
Whose house needs things
In every room?
When shopping for a present please don't be rash
As there is always the option
To just give cash!
We hope you don't find
Our request to be funny
But we really would appreciate
A gift of money
We lived together before this wedding
So we have a home, full of toasters and bedding
So what to get for the bride & groom
Whose house is set up in every room?
To save you looking, shopping and buying,
Here's an idea you might like trying!
We need (new flooring) and (a new table) too,
But registering for huge items ain't the thing to do
So please put some money into a card,
Now make a wish.... see, that wasn't hard!
Now we've saved you all the fuss,
We hope you'll come and celebrate with us!
A (wishing well) (money tree) will be at the reception hall
To deposit your wishes... Thanks and love to all.
We haven't got a wedding list,
the reason we'll explain,
is to save you all the hassle as shopping is a pain,
We've been together for a while,
And have most things we need,
So vouchers, cash or cheques would be gratefully received,
The choice is yours, so please don't fuss
the most important thing of all
Is that you come and celebrate with us!
But, if you'd like to contribute,
to our soft & cosy rooms,
Our heartfelt thanks go out to you
with love the bride & groom
We know it's not traditional
It's not the way it's done
But instead of a wedding list
We'd like a bit of sun.
Please do not think of us as rude
Please do not take offence
We do not want to upset you
That's not the way it's meant.
We've lived together quite a while
And all the bills are paid
We've got our plates, our pots and pans
Our plans have all been made.
So if you'd like to give a gift
To help us celebrate
Some money for a honeymoon
We would appreciate
For a couple of years we've lived in sin,
we have a toaster, a kettle and a stainless steel bin,
saucepans and towels we have many,
corkscrews and flannels we don't need any,
we just want you with us to celebrate our day,
but if you insist on a gift anyway,
What we'd really like is a gift of money,
we hope you don't think we're being funny!
We'll put it all together and buy something that's best,
as a reminder of our day and our wonderful guests
We hope that you will come along
On this special day,
To celebrate our union
In a very special way.
Together we have been for a while now,
We collected all our household goods
Before we took our Vows.
To make it easy for you
And avoid the shopping hell,
We thought that we would have
A little 'Money Well'.
So please don't be offended at our request,
Just seal it in this envelope
And come and be our guest.
When thinking of a gift for us
We ask if you'd please consider
Contributing to our honeymoon
to make it all the sweeter.
Our house is full of all the things
a couple could require,
and so a holiday away
is what we most desire.
Then while we're relaxing on the beach
or by the pool so blue
we'll sit back and know
that it is truly thanks to you!
Our worldly possessions are plentiful as such,
On our wedding present list there really isn't much,
A gift of currency is all we ask, To help us on our lifelong task
We've been together a few years now;
We have pots and pans and linen and towels;
We have glasses and toasters, really quite a few;
So instead of more gifts, we suggest this to you;
If it doesn't offend and it won't send you running;
What we would really appreciate is quite simply money
In a wedding invitation,
You usually find some lists,
For venues, menus and hotels,
And also for the gifts
But this one is unusual,
It comes in a different way,
As we're not asking for presents,
But for something else today
Now please don't think we're selfish,
Or that this comes from greed,
But we've lived together for a while,
So there's not that much we need
We would appreciate help though,
To send us on our way,
And allow us to have our honeymoon,
In a land quite far away
So now the point of all this rhyme,
The thing that we would like,
Isn't towels, toasters or microwaves,
But pounds and pence alike
And now you know the reason,
Behind this cheeky accord,
Please help to give us memories,
Of a dream honeymoon abroad
Help and advice on speeches, budgeting and more.

I often have a love/hate relationship with gummis. It really boils down to the fact that I'm really picky about them. My main complains come down to the fact that the texture often isn't chewy enough to my liking and the flavors are too similar and bland for me to really enjoy them. There's some that I do return to as they're better than most, but often I find I am disappointed with gummi candy.
That being said, I'm a big fan of Lifesavers and I remember vividly the commercials in the early 1990's when the first Lifesavers gummis were released on the market. I begged my parents to let me try them, and when they finally caved in and let me have them, I felt underwhelmed by the flavors. I was big into eating the rolls of the hard candy versions back then, and the flavor in the gummis were no where near a strong. I finished my package and never asked my parents for them again.
Lifesavers recently came out with a new flavor package for their gummis: Island Fruits. I've seen them around in two forms: one is a big bag like theo ne pictures above, and another in a single serving roll. The package is very fun and eye-catching, so it's not a hard one to miss. Not being one to let past experiences to dictate my opinions, I knew it was time to give these another go.
The gummis themselves are adorable. They look like pneumatic Lifesavers, and in the roll they stand upright in a section tray. They're bouncy and squishy to the touch and I couldn't help but play with them in my hands before taking my first bite.
The texture is a very nice gummi: chewy, with a good structure so it doesn't immediately dissolve in my mouth. They come off as very fresh and satisfying.
Strawberry Kiwi: red/pink: Light and sweet and immediately tastes of sweet, fake strawberry. Just like those fruit snacks you ate as a kid. The kiwi flavor shows up as a tart note towards the finish of the flavor.
Mango Melon: orange: Beautifully fruity, floral and of cantaloupe right away. I'm not sure of the mango part, but I'd say this is the best of the bunch. It's punchy, yet not overpowering and the flavor is refreshing and real.
Fruit Punch: dark red: Starts off very fruity, then gets that slightly bitter and floral taste of Hawaiian Punch. It's like your mom tried to hide your cough syrup in your morning orange juice. It's tasty, yet strange as artificial punch flavors always are.
Pineapple: Yellow: Light and sweet, this flavor is very muted and mildly juicy. It doesn't have that flavor explosion I expect with Lifesavers flavors, but it's very authentic with nice sweet/tart notes.
I was impressed with these and my early childhood experiences with these are now replaced with this tasty experience. I shared these with my boyfriend who raved about them. He especially loved the Fruit Punch one.

"ERROR: Unable to read options from top-level input file"
What's wrong?
This error is typically seen when a ligand file in SDF format is used in IFD. Although allowed by the GUI, the Prime executable is not able to correctly parse a ligand file in SDF format. The solution is to convert the ligand file to Maestro format and use the converted file as input.
You can convert the SDF ligand file by reading it into Maestro and then exporting in Maestro format, or, if you prefer to use the command line, there are two utility scripts you can use:
that will do the conversion for you. Run the scripts with

Bajaj Shows Off Its First Car
Claims mileage of up to 40 kmpl.
Bajaj Auto has announced an ultra-low cost car, the RE60. Although a comparison with Tata Nano is inevitable, the Chetak maker has made it clear that it is more interested in competing with three-wheelers.
The RE60 packs in a 200 cc petrol engine. The low cost vehicle will have a top speed of 70 kmph and the mileage will go up to 40 kmpl. Additionally, CNG and LPG variants of the RE60 are already in the pipeline. The manufacturer has stated that this eco-friendly vehicle's carbondioxide emission will not be more than 60 grammes per km.
The company will build the RE60 at its three-wheeler plant in Aurangabad. Bajaj is expected to ship the small car to Sri Lanka before releasing it in India. There's no official word on the pricing as of this writing, but it's said to be around 1.3 lakhs.
Interestingly, Rajiv Bajaj compared the company with Apple, stating that they "believe in making niche products". Gee, I didn't know cheaply made two-wheelers marketed to the lowest common denominator were considered niche products. Thanks for the clarification, Mr. Bajaj.
He also said that Bajaj is an "anti-car" company, and therefore insists on calling the RE60 a four-wheeler instead. With gaping wheel arches and bottle caps instead of tyres, I'm not sure I would be comfortable calling it a car either. It seems that the Tata Nano has nothing to worry about the not-a-car, since the latter will be targeted at auto-rickshaw drivers.

Our History
Perseverance, determination and an unwavering commitment to serve fellow human beings have shaped Optho's successful journey in the world of eye care medicines. The four decades of our glorious history have been dotted with numerous challenges that have tested the strength of character and resolve of our organization. With all humility, we take pride in being true to the values with which the organization was born. It was the vision of Late Sri R.K. Agarwal to have an organization under the aegis of which the country gets an incessant supply of drugs and medicines related to Eye-care. Thus, the year 1973 witnessed the birth of Optho Remedies.
Initial phases of development included marketing of ophthalmic products on sole-selling rights under the directorship of Late Shri R.K. Agarwal. In a period spanning over thirty nine years (as on 2012)Optho Remedies has traversed a journey which includes several troughs and crests, both acting cumulatively to help catapult the organization in the direction of carving its own niche.
Optho began its activities with marketing of pharmaceutical products with exclusive sales rights in Allahabad and adjoining areas.Optho Remedies was transformed into Optho Remedies Pvt. Ltd. in 1975 embarking its foray into the Pharma sector with an enthusiasm level at its crescendo. In less than two years, the company consolidated its position, created a great reputation and its sales team was reaching out to customers across the length and breadth of UP and beyond.
Buoyed by its success and seizing emerging opportunities to establish itself at the forefront, Optho Remedies recorded a significant milestone in 1976 with the launch of its own manufacturing facility in Allahabad. Equipped with the latest instruments and employing highly qualified professionals, the manufacturing facility adhered to stringent standards of production and quality control, and set new benchmarks in the production of ophthalmic formulations in India.
The state-of-the-art manufacturing unit turned out to be a harbinger of the further audacious steps of Optho, when from 1982 onwards it decided to go for diversification in terms of range of products it was already dealing with. Optho Remedies had already established itself as a leader in this domain in Northern India, the company further consolidated its position with the launch of several new products to meet the diverse needs of those seeking high-quality eye care medicines as well as the medical fraternity.
20th March 1988 is one of the darkest days in the history of Optho Remedies, when it suffered a colossal loss with the demise of its Founder-Director Sri R.K. Agarwal, who was an epitome of honesty, hard work, determination and a vision which transpired hope among hundreds of people associated with Optho Remedies. It was at this juncture when Mrs. Raj Rani Agarwal took command as the M.D. of the company.
Soon Optho got its much awaited successors in the two sons of Late Sri R.K. Agarwal - Mr. Rajesh Agarwal(Director-Marketing) and Mr. Rakesh Agarwal(Director-Technical) who paved the way for Optho to escalate towards high echelons of success. These two young, enthusiastic and dynamic directors-- helped the organization in overcoming the challenges posed by the founder's untimely demise. Their strong determination to set things right saw them working together through the crisis. And their efforts finally paid off.In 1991 Optho registered a record growth rate of 149%.
Optho Remedies has never looked back since then. It has achieved several milestones in its zealous efforts to attain superiority in terms of products and services being offered. As it enjoyed sustained growth with sales turnover increasing multifold by the turn of the century, the company became recognized across the country as a major player in the realm of ophthalmic drugs.
With soaring demand for our products, we undertook a strategic shift to 'contract manufacture', along with our home-production,in order to scale up our output and meet ever-increasing demand. This critical decision, which is working extremely well, has enabled us to grow even faster, to penetrate newer markets and to reach out to a much wider base of target customers.
While many deem perfection to be impossible, the concept of impeccability is the cornerstone of our manufacturing operations as we single-mindedly focus on achieving and maintaining "Zero defect" quality.To ensure this, we leave no stone unturned- whether it is with our products, processes or people.
Our long journey continues, as we forge ahead with an outstanding reputation and a strong presence across the country. Even as we break new ground with consistently improved product offerings, we have our feet firmly planted on the ground. We are guided by a shining beacon that constantly reminds us of our purpose to serve. We consider ourselves blessed with the opportunity to help gift clarity of vision. We will pursue this with tireless vigor and unflinching commitment.

How to Make a Cell Phone Charm (or zipper pull)
I don't quite understand the appeal of dangling things hanging from your cellphone, but who am I to argue with trends? This tutorial will explain, as simply as possible, how to make your own cellphone charm.
First, your supplies:
My three favorite tools, Round Nose Pliers, Chain Nose Pliers and Cutting Pliers. If you don't have these, you can make do with a small pair of chain or needle nose pliers, a skewer and a really sharp pair of scissors. (Don't borrow your mom's/friend's fabric scissors for this unless you wish for them to disown you.)
Head pins and Cell Phone Lariats. You will only need one of each, but you will not be able to purchase just one. I recommend buying both in bulk as it will save you tons of money and you can always repackage them in smaller lots for friends who want to make their own charms. Ebay is a good bet for a deal, but I've actually found smaller packages in my local Wal-Mart.
Crimp or decorative beads and your big bead for the charm. Here, I am using lampwork beads, because I find them to be unique and much more interesting that something that says "Juicy" or some such pop culture nonsense.
Onwards to putting this simple little charm together.
Start your charm by settling a small crimp or decorative bead on your head pin so the larger beads don't go sliding off. This is an important step as nothing is more frustrating than hearing the clatter of your beads coming off of your project and then having to search the floor for them.
Continue placing your beads. I've chosen the froggy here because he's cute, darn it. I like my charms to be symetrical, so I've ended with the same pattern of smaller, decorative beads that I started with. I recommend keeping your charm shorter than 3/4″ as well, because you will have to form the wire loop to hang it on your lariat, and you don't want a charm that is larger than the cell phone it is attached to.
Take your cutting pliers (or scissors) and clip off the excess pin. You will want to leave around 1/2″ (more if you are unsure of your wire shaping skill) . It's much easier to trim later if you have too much than it is to redo the entire charm on a new pin because you left too little.
Form the remaining pin into a 1/4″ loop on your round nose pliers. This may take a bit of practice, especially if you are are using a skewer and chain nose pliers rather than the round pliers. When you have formed the loop, apply a little force in the opposite direction to make the loop form a straight line with the head of the pin.
Getting the charm on the lariat is the same as threading anything onto a keyring. You will probably need the chain nose pliers to give you a hand unless you want to completely destroy your fingernails in the process.
The beading process for making a zipper pull is the same, you will just attach the charm to the lariat slightly differently. Start by stringing the loop of the charm onto the thread of the lariat.
Then slip the metal of the metal part of the lariat through the loop at the end.
Then simple pull the light taut. Attach the ring to your zipper and you've got a zipper pull.

Grand Sunset 6 by kuroinamiWatch
©2007-2016 kuroinami
SO my second day at the Grand Canyon there was a little cloud cover. Made for a BEAUTIFUL sunset. I'm still upset with my camera for not capturing it properly.

Battle of Wits
"Haha, I've got you this time, Yahweh!" The young man crowed as he rounded the corner of the garden path. Like always, his robes were slightly askew, revealing more of his muscular form than was necessary. Though he tried, he couldn't keep the excited expression from his handsome face.
"What is it now, Lucifer?" Asked Yahweh. He didn't move from where he sat, head bowed, eyes closed, white hair flowing gracefully around him. "You have disturbed my meditation once again, and for one of your silly extended metaphors, no less."
"I know, Yahweh, I know," Lucifer replied, his words fraught with frustration as he sat beside his master in the flowers. "I just couldn't contain myself any longer!"
"You and I both know why it is you try to best me." He raised a hand before Lucifer could protest. "I also know that I will get no peace unless I hear you out. So, lets have it; let me hear yo
"So, tell me again, how long have we been on our own?" Sumettai asked, already knowing the answer, her words were merely the catalyst for a ritual born of long practice.
Though she usually answered right away, Aisuna lingered in what she was doing this day. The wind caught at her heavy green gown and wrapped it around her thin and delicate form as she stood. The small squirrel she had been treating for a stomach ache bounded away, healed. "We've been on our own for years, but it seems like an eternity." Truthfully, she'd never really gotten used to the solitude. Before, Aisuna had always had Korimah or Shimona to talk to, and she was never lonely. Not that she was lonely here with Sumy. Its just that after the war she couldn't find he sibling, no matter how hard she searched. "I came here with you to rest after the war and to think of where we should search next for Korimah.

One day down in the hood, there were three dawgs chowin' down on some gruel. So Pimp Daddy says, "Like my gruel is way too steamed." And Big Mama was like, "This *bleep* is way too hot." So they uppin' went for a pimp ride to the ghetto. So like later, this Goldy-chick came and was cleanin' out the crib. She saw the gruel and was like, "I'm starved, I'm gonna eat me some." She tried Pimp Daddy's and was like, "This *bleep* is way too hot." She ate some of Big Mama's and was like, "This *bleep*'s like freezing." Then Goldy-chick tried Lil' Dawgs and was like, "This *bleep* is Phat!" And she ate like all of it. Then she went to the den and tried the chairs. Pimp Daddy's was like too hard, and Big Mama's was like too soft. Then she tried Lil' Dawg's and was like, "This *bleep*'s da bomb, fo' sho!" But then the chair busted landing her flat on her butt. "*Bleep*, and that was comfy too."
Then she like went up the stair and was like, "Now this is a place to crash." She tried Pimp Daddy's be

The average race car has about a dozen different pieces of safety equipment, each designed to protect part of your body if and when something goes wrong. These safety devices are there because of the dangers of racing, and everyone wants to be as safe as possible. Just the safety innovations in the past 10 years have been incredible.
But what about the area where you store your car? How safe is it? There are a few things that any racer can do to make the shop safer. Whether you're just getting into your first shop or you've been in one for years, don't have the mindset that an accident won't happen. A simple spark that falls in the wrong place or a car that falls off the jack can be disastrous.
A few of these steps are very simple and almost redundant. For instance, having a fire extinguisher inside your shop is as basic as it gets. But when was the last time you inspected it? First, make sure that the gauge is in the green, and if it has fallen into the red area, spend the money to have it refilled.
Remember as well to always have jackstands in place when someone is working underneath your car. Never allow someone under your car-under any circumstances-while it is being held up by a mechanical jack. Take an extra five or 10 seconds to slide a jackstand underneath the frame as a safeguard against the car falling off the jack.
Jackstand TabsA trick to make the use of jackstands even safer is to weld a 3-inch piece of steel tubing on the bottom of the chassis toward the back of the car. This provides a place for your chassis to rest in the jackstand instead of merely resting on top of it. Sometimes while you're tightening, say, a truck arm bolt, you will be applying a lot of pressure and, depending on the type of car you are working on, you can actually slide the entire chassis on top of the jackstands. The 3-inch piece of steel, however, will prevent that from happening. It will also stop someone from knocking the jackstand from under the car. This is only a good idea for the back of the chassis, as there is typically too much travel in the front of the car to put the steel tabs on the front of the chassis, and you will be running the risk of dragging the bottom of the chassis while on the track.
Next, make sure the work area is clean. A race shop isn't known for being the cleanest place around, but we have all seen Nextel Cup shops and thought, Wow, look at how clean it is in there. Your shop could be just as neat and clean. Sure, you may not have the bright white floors, but who truly needs that? The reason Cup shops are so clean is that having a clean shop is the first step toward having a safe shop.
During the off-season or when your series or local track has an off week, you should push your car(s) out of the shop and spend a day cleaning the area and organizing tools. Then, take five minutes to put up all the tools and throw away the trash after every subsequent work session. You will greatly improve the safety of the shop. Plus, it'll look a ton better when you have that random visitor race shops seem to attract.
Whether you choose to smoke or not is a whole different article. Nonetheless, one of the smartest moves you can make is not allowing visitors or workers to smoke inside your shop. A simple flick of a cigarette could start a huge fire. So don't make it an issue-limit smoking to outside of your shop.
Wayward Air HoseAn air compressor is such a great way of opening up options inside the shop that it has almost become a necessity in today's racing world. If you choose to install a large air compressor inside your shop, make sure you run the lines to the main work areas. You don't want to have air lines all over the place because it creates undesirable situations. For instance, let's say you're underneath the car finishing work on the rocker panel and your coworker has run an air line beside you while he's working on the workbench. Then, you accidentally drop a pair of cutters and slash a pea-sized hole into the air line. With upward of 100 pounds of air pressure running through it, the cut line will go berserk, flying wildly through the air-not to mention trying to slap your coworker with whatever tool he was using on the workbench.
This is why it is necessary to install a shut-off valve within reach of where the air line is run. Without the shut-off valve, it would be necessary to try to undo the quick disconnect while the air line is flying around uncontrollably. When you turn the shut-off valve, the line will drop immediately and you can safely undo the quick disconnect without having to worry about the line firing off.
Creepers are great tools for the shop as well. They provide a handy way to stay clean and access a lot of area quickly while underneath your car. However, when you torque a bolt or nut, using a creeper can be dangerous. When you torque the bolt, your leverage will actually move the creeper, which in turn might run you straight into one of the jackstands. Keep in mind, too, that a particular corner of the car may not have as much weight on it as another corner, so when you push the creeper into it, even a slight bump could knock the jackstand from underneath the chassis. This is bad news not only for the car, but also for you.
Remember, if you're going to be using a creeper, make sure your jackstands are secure under your chassis. And, if you're going to torque bolts, it would be much safer just to lie down on your back without the creeper.
Over time you can have an amazing shop, but it all has to start with guaranteeing you and others have a safe working environment. Take an in-depth look at your shop and make the vital changes to ensure that you have the safest shop possible.

17:04, UK, Tuesday 16 February 2010
Britain's men's curling team take to the ice today, taking with them Britain's best hope for an Olympic gold.
The squad, who are essentially the Scottish team competing under the Team GB banner, go into the competition as current world champions.
Team skipper David Murdoch says that advantageous position also comes with its difficulties.
He told Sky News: "Being world champion you do have a target on your back and every team seems to up their game against you and try their hardest. That means you have to step up even further.
"There is a high expectation but when we start, Canada will be the favourites, that's for sure.
"They are a great team and a strong curling nation, they're going to have home support as well so they're going to be a tough team to beat."
Britain also has recent experience of Olympic success in the sport, with the women's team bringing back the gold in 2002.
Then, skippered by Scottish housewife and mother-of-two Rhona Martin, the sport was dubbed "housework on ice".
Now an image change is under way in the sport in Britain.
The new female skipper, 19-year-old Eve Muirhead, has been largely credited with the transformation.
"Everyone thinks curling is for the older generation but it's not and with young people like myself coming up, I think that's great for the sport."
However, Muirhead is reluctant to take too much of the limelight.
"I have such a great team behind me. We've got a very experienced team so I think together we can achieve a lot."
It's not only the line-up that looks modern, but also the approach of the teams. Muirhead said: "We've trained really hard during the summer both on and off the ice.
"We've done a lot of strength and conditioning in the gym, a lot of cardiovascular work, and also a lot of technical work on the ice, so we're looking forward to performing the best we can."
The men's round-robin competition gets under way today, while the women take to the ice to begin their Olympic campaign tomorrow.

The first of a two game series featuring Michigan and Minnesota occurred Friday night at Mariucci Arena and the scoring came early and often.
Minnesota's Justin Kloos scored his tenth goal of the season at 5:29 on even strength off of assists from Nate Condon and Jake Parenteau. After three consecutive Michigan penalties to end period number one, Minnesota held a 1-0 lead despite being 0-3 on early power play chances. Each of the penalties came in a 6:16 span, but Minnesota couldn't convert despite outshooting the Wolverines 16-5 in the first twenty minutes.
Shots on goal rained in like mad in the second period, as did the goals, with five pucks going in during the middle frame. The first of them went in at 1:19 as Minnesota's Hudson Fasching put one past Michigan goaltender Steve Racine putting Minnesota up 2-0. Fasching was assisted by Sam Warning and Kyle Rau. The first power play goal of the night went to Michigan's Andrew Copp at 9:45, forty seconds after a hooking minor sent Minnesota's Jake Parenteau to the sin bin. Copp had assists from JT Compher and Mac Bennett. Minnesota's Taylor Cammarata, unassisted in his effort, would make it 3-1 just six seconds later at 9:51.
The last two goals of the middle frame came on power plays as Minnesota's Seth Ambroz showed deft touch in scoring his goal at 17:29, off assists from Sam Warning and Ben Marshall. JT Compher countered for Michigan at 18:35, off assists from Andrew Copp and Mac Bennett. Those three were a scoring combination 8:50 earlier in the second as well. Shots through forty minutes had Minnesota up 30-23.
Zach Hyman's unassisted goal at 2:47 brought Michigan to within one at 4-3, but Gabe Guertler put the icing on the cake when he scored at 15:21. Connor Reilly and Vinni Lettieri assisted Guertler in his first goal of the season. Shots on goal for the night finished 38-37 to Michigan, and power plays had Michigan going 2-3. Minnesota went 1-7 on the man advantage.
The same two teams duel at 7pm Saturday, and the game will be broadcast on FOX Sports North.

Yahoo has launched two iOS apps today as CEO Marissa Mayer continues to try to turn the floundering Yahoo around. Mayer is attempting to use the well-received Weather app as a springboard to other apps. She hopes that it will create a "halo effect" in that users will love it enough that they will be willing to try other Yahoo-made apps.
As you can see, the app features a slick interface that goes above and beyond the stock Weather app that is also powered by Yahoo data. Yahoo also released an updated Mail app for the iPad so users will have a native experience. This means much better use of screen real estate and features.
The updated Mail app and new Weather app are both available from the App Store.

A follow up to a previous question of mine.
I thought it was true, but according to my book $G \simeq H \oplus K$, with $G \simeq H$ does not imply $K=0$
Is there a simple counter example? In what situation is this true?
(Motivation is, from the previous question, to show that $H_n(X,A)=0$

Cameo Tips
Tips for making Cameos
I would like to start making some
cameos. I can never get mine to look
nearly as good as others I've seen. Is
there a trick that I'm missing? I can
never get mine to have a nice edge
between the white and the
You will need at least two colors
of polymer clay: usually ivory for
the cameo part and a darker color for the background. If you would like a marbleized or shaded background, mix
some ivory canes or balls into the darker color clay.
Be sure the clay is well conditioned. Most molds don't require a release agent, but if you find the clay sticking to
the mold, try spraying with water or dusting with corn starch.
Take a small ball of ivory clay (better too little than not enough) and press it into the cameo portion of the mold.
Use the handle of a paint brush or a chisel headed clay shaper to tamp the clay down.
Work slowly and meticulously so as to capture all the detail of the cameo. It is OK, even preferable to leave some
convexity to the ivory clay.
Leaving sections of the ivory very thin (for example, the folds of a woman's dress) will create a beautiful
translucent filmy look.
The most important step on the cameo level is to smooth the edge of the design so that when the darker clay
base is added to the mold, you achieve the nice sharp edge you are seeking between the cameo and the dark
Roll out a small piece of the background clay to the proper thickness for your mold.
Gently press the mold on top of it to mark the shape for cutting.
Cut the background and lay it into the mold.
Tamp around the edge and work gently toward the center, applying less pressure when you are over the cameo
portion to avoid causing the ivory clay to ooze out of the depressed area of the mold.
If the clay is not level, gently add more background color to top it off.
Use the paintbrush handle or clay shaper to level and smooth the back.
Bake as usual.
To achieve an antique look, apply a whitewash to your cameo after baking. Brush on white acrylic paint thinned with
water. Then wipe off the excess. Using white on a light color clay gives very subtle shadings and depth.
Various cameo techniques to experiment with.
It would be fun to marbleize colored clay for an elegant background look.
As far as the silhouette goes, it could be painted first with a white primer, and then topped with a pearl or
translucent paint for special effects.
Another idea would be to fill the mold in the silhouette areas with white clay and then the background with colored
clay. Then when it's baked you could use white transparent pearl paint to finish off the details of the hair, leaves
Another idea that would be fun, would be to just make the whole cameo with white clay, and then use a fine tip paint
pen for better details to color in the background and then use an antiquing effect over the top of entire casting. That
would be beautiful.
Sue Espy's
also has some great cameo information.
If you would like to send a picture of your finished work, we would be happy to feature it on our site.

UMass Softball Suffers Loss To UCF Despite Early Lead
Feb. 24, 2013
CLEARWATER, Fla. - The Minutewomen took an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first but were unable to hold off the Knights and lost 8-2 at the NFCA Leadoff classic in Clearwater, Fla. UMass (2-6) will return to Clearwater for the USF Under Armour Showcase on March 8 where they will face South Carolina and USF.
UMass tallied three hits and committed four errors in the loss while UCF had five hits and three errors. Starting pitcher Caroline Raymond struck out four batters in five innings pitched. The UCF pitching staff struck out seven Minutewomen.
Cyndil Matthew and Quianna Diaz-Patterson started off the bottom of the first with two singles and a sacrifice bunt by Katie Bettencourt got both runners in scoring position. A passed ball sent in Matthew and a throwing error by the catcher allowed Diaz-Patterson to score as well, giving UMass a 2-0 lead.
UMass held the Knights to one hit over the next two innings, but defensive errors in the top of the fourth gave UCF the lead and ultimately the win. Diaz-Patterson fielded the first ball put in play in the inning but over threw first base, allowing one runner on with no outs. With bases loaded, Samantha McCloskey hit a single to right field that sent in one run but a bobble by Bettencourt allowed the tying run to come in. A double to left center gave UCF a 4-0 lead going into the bottom of the fourth.
The Minutewomen failed to create any more offense over their last four at-bats despite a two-error fifth inning for the Knights. UCF scored four more in the top of the sixth off of one hit and two UMass errors, solidifying their victory.

Surging fuel prices contributed to a sharp drop in operating profits at Air Canada (AC.B-T) and the airline posted a net loss for the third quarter Friday.
The slide in operating profit came even though Canada's largest airline completed its cost-reduction program in the quarter, reaching $530 million in annual savings.
"We experienced a strong revenue performance in the quarter, however the revenue growth did not keep pace with the increase in operating costs, given a higher price of fuel," said Chief Executive Calin Rovinescu on a conference call.
Operating profit dropped to $270 million from $306 million a year earlier. Operating revenue rose 7 percent to $3.24 billion, but operating expenses rose 9 percent, thanks to a 47 percent increase in fuel prices.
"All and all I'd call it an in-line quarter, with reasonable expectations to move forward," said PI Financial analyst Chris Murray in an interview. Murray highlighted the cost-cutting program, calling the savings "substantial."
For 2011, the Montreal-based airline said it expected system capacity to increase by 4.0 to 4.5 percent, but citing the economic environment, also said it will aim to raise capacity no more than 1.5 percent in 2012.
Air Canada's net loss came in at $124 million, or 45 cents a share, compared with a net profit of $317 million, or $1.10. Adjusted for foreign exchange losses, it earned 55 cents a share.
Passenger revenue per available seat mile, an industry performance benchmark, rose 5.1 percent from the same quarter last year, due to yield growth and higher load factors.
Higher yields came thanks to higher fares, fuel surcharges and more premium traffic, the company said. Rovinescu said the quarter's load factor of 85.8 percent set a new record.
Despite months of labour strife, Rovinescu said he was determined to bring the airline's pension deficit under control, calling pension reform critically important to the company's prospects.
The airline's check-in and call-center staff went on strike in June over pensions for new hires. Their union threatened further job action in October, after the airline appealed an arbitrator's ruling on the issue, and the company subsequently withdrew its appeal.
Rovinescu also spoke about the airline's decision to ask the government to appoint a conciliator for its negotiations with the Air Canada Pilots Association. That move started the clock towards a legal strike or lock-out position.
"We cannot have an open-ended timeframe, with labor uncertainty overhang indefinitely," said Rovinescu. "We have to act responsibly for our customers and other stakeholders."

text: 03 July 2013 archive See all show photos SINCE their appointment as creative directors at Valentino in 2008, it's been in a gentle fashion that Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccoli have really got under the DNA of the brand and its woman. And, through stealth, it's something that they've been turning into their own ever since - still with a respect for the house and an absolute willingness to absorb it. They've done so quietly and elegantly, two descriptions that can now just as easily be attributed to their collections. Today's was absolutely beautiful as always, yet sombre and puritanical at the same time. In tweed and cashmere (a new dimension from the duo this season), with flocking and embroidery, pearl-encrusted high necks, skirts adorned in feathers, dresses decorated in shells and coral branches, it was extravagant with Medieval and Baroque references – the colours and richness of everything, all the while still carved from that Valentino silhouette: caped dresses, cinched waists and beautiful splaying skirts of queenly proportions. This pair has a knack for taking elegance to a whole new level, combining workmanship with precision so that it never becomes fanciful but draws on all the elements you would associate with such a description. It's a very difficult line to tread but one they get right each time - so at one are they with the Valentino woman - a delicate, in some ways pared-down, angelic being. And just as we've seen the whole week long at the couture shows, this pair echoed the mood of restraint, something which in many ways is always at the heart of their collections – a wonderful humility.

Pakistan: Request for independence of Sind
|Society & You - Social Critic
|Tuesday, 24 April 2012 11:01
Recently, presented a project [in] the U.S. Congress to grant supporting Baluchistan -land of the baluchíes-the right to self determination against its " forced annexation "[in] to Pakistan on 27 March 1948. That day is still remembered as Black Day throughout the entire Baloch territory, including parts of the provincial capital, Quetta.
In 1971, the former East Pakistan had already witnessed a bloody war of independence with Pakistan, which led to the creation of the country now known as Bangladesh , was truly bloody war, as hundreds of thousands were massacred [in] in this 'genocide' to destroy the Bengali freedom fighters.
However, in present times is not only Balochistan separatist aspirations, but also Sindh, under the leadership of mr. GM Syed [in], have also been fighting for independence shortly after the creation of Pakistan. From the platform of various nationalist political parties, the Sindhis request a separation of Pakistan and create Sindudesh proposed, the land of the Sindi (Indus River). Support his claim on the grounds that 1. the British invaded the independent union and 2. have a rich history and distinct, and an ancient culture that has more than 5,000 years.
The blog Citizens Voice Junction Alternative Media recounts [in] that:
When the British left India and created separate states, India and Pakistan, Sind Pakistan joined the conditions mentioned in the Lahore Resolution of 1940, the base document for the creation of the country. However, as conditions were not met, as Sind, have the moral and legitimate option to retreat to be part of the Pakistani federation (also part of the resolution). Pakistan celebrated on March 23 of each year to commemorate the event.
Mr Syed was the first to move the resolution in favor of the newly proposed federation, Pakistan in Sindh Assembly for the first time. Ironically, pioneered the Sindhi separatist movement when he called for complete independence of Sind shortly after the creation of the proposed country.
There have been many clashes with the Pakistani state, demonstrations and rallies in favor of an independent Sind, the latest demonstration of the Sindhi separatist aspirations in a large-scale public platform itself was held on March 23 when hundreds of thousands of Sindhis of across the province gathered in Karachi and chanted slogans against Pakistan:
AK Chishti also tweeted [in] which was heard in the Tibet Centre, Karachi:
The event, entitled the Freedom Ride [in] was really an impressive crowd (considering it was against the state and was conducted in Karachi (Sindh), the largest city in Pakistan, which has gradually become a foreign land for Sindhis after the creation of Pakistan in 1947) and was organized by Sindh Qaumi Jeay Mahaz (JSQM) [in] one of the largest Sindhi nationalist parties.
As an eyewitness of the events, I followed the live event and Blogue and Twitter. So you could see the crowd.
Zafar ( @ sindhixafar ) tweeted :
In another tweeted, Zafar summarized the events to start with a tweeted saying:
Although representatives of many sectors of the media were present and covering live events, the news was almost blocked or not reported in most traditional electronic media in Urdu.
Participants, on his return from the march, asked their friends in Facebook if the media were covering the event. Ashique Solangi posed a direct question on Facebook :
The Mr. Nisar Khokhar , veteran journalist, published a photo of the march along with the following comment (in union Romanized):
The Sindhis have rejected the Resolution (Lahore) on March 23 (1940) ... but the Urdu and English media was blocked and no information ... Wake up, Sindhi! (Sic)
The blogger Ravez Junejo said [in] his concern that the media do not cover the march of freedom:
The demonstration was so massive that would certainly disrupt normal traffic routes of the city's main arteries underwent serious traffic jams at the time the manifestation of the Freedom March passed.
On the one hand, this massive show of rejection of the Lahore Resolution, which means clear rejection of Pakistan, was well received by those who favor independence for the Sindhis, on the other hand, frightened opponents of nationalism union and the Pakistani state. And that is why the conspiracy continued defaming the demonstration ended shortly after, and the media infiormaron the head of MQM [in], Altaf Hussain said the people affected by traffic jams were assaulted by the participants Freedom March.
However, the news did not have much importance and was soon ignored by Pakistani media as well, although Mr. Hussain almost became President of Pakistan to take note of the issue. And it was!
The Mr. Aziz Narejo , political analyst and blogger who lives in Texas, noted [in]:
Mr. Bashir Khan Qureshi, president of JSQM, gave the keynote address at the Freedom March and said that the whole nation was with him when unions ask for independence from Pakistan. He said the Sindh joined the federation of Pakistan based in Lahore Resolution, which requires states to join, including Sind, would be sovereign and independent.
Giving his message to the world - Freedom.
Mr. Qureshi also said that the Sindh contributed with 80% of the total federal budget, including natural gas 69% and 75% of the country's oil. What you get is wrong. This was a clear message.
The Urdu and Sindhi versions of the transcript of his speech can be viewed on these links, respectively:
The main points of his speech included that Pakistan had become an "icon of religious extremism and terrorism," when the Sindhis are a nation that 'peace loving' and believes in 'religious coexistence. "
Calling on the international community, presented the five-point agenda and asked for help to Sind and Baluchistan achieve independence from Pakistan, according to him, to which are fully entitled.
However, the newspapers the next day, March 24, had a good coverage of the March for Freedom of JSQM, print and online. Not to mention the strong coverage of Sindhi channels and newspapers, it is worth mentioning reports The Express Tribune , Daily Times , Pakistan Today and BBC Urdu [all English].

Spartanburg man accused of calling in bomb threat at credit union
Published: Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at 11:37 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at 11:37 a.m.
A Spartanburg man is charged with making a bomb threat after an incident Tuesday at S.C. Telco Federal Credit Union on Northtown Drive.
According to a warrant, Travis Weaver, 32, of 111 Diamond Lane, is charged with making a false bomb threat. His bond was set at $5,000, according to online jail records.
According to a report from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office, county dispatchers received a 911 call about a bomb threat at the location. Deputies responded, advised the manager and cleared the building of employees and customers. No bombs or anything suspicious was found during a sweep of the building that included the bomb squad, according to the report.
Investigators traced the phone number used to call in the threat back to Weaver, according to a supplemental report. He also was identified by witness statements, photo lineups, and surveillance video at the bank. According to the supplemental report, Weaver told investigators he made the threat to distract bank personnel from reviewing surveillance video of him removing money from another person's account.

pulmonary embolism
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious condition that can cause:
In most cases, pulmonary embolism is a complication of a condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In DVT, blood clots form in the deep veins of the body – most often in the legs. These clots can break free, travel to the lung, and block an artery.
More than 600,000 people in the United States have a pulmonary embolism each year, and more than 60,000 of them die. Most of those who die do so within 30 to 60 minutes after symptoms start. Pulmonary embolism is one of the most common causes of death in hospitalized people who must remain in bed for a long time.
CausesNine out of 10 cases of pulmonary embolism are caused by blood clots that form in the legs (deep vein thrombosis) and then travel to the lungs.
Leg clots can form when blood flow is restricted and slows down. This happens when you do not move around for long periods of time, such as:
DiagnosisYour doctor will take a health history and perform a physical exam in order to:
Physical examThe physical exam will include:
TestsTo help determine whether you have a pulmonary embolism or related disease or condition, initial testing includes:
Your doctor will order additional tests based on how likely it is that you have a pulmonary embolism and which tests are available. Tests could include:
TreatmentThe primary goals in treating pulmonary embolism are to:
MedicinesAnticoagulants (blood thinners) decrease your blood's ability to clot. They are used to stop clots from getting bigger and to prevent blood clots from forming. Anticoagulants do not break up blood clots that have already formed. Your body's natural system will dissolve the clot. Anticoagulants can be given:
If you have deep vein thrombosis, treatment with anticoagulants usually lasts for 3 to 6 months. However, the length of treatment may vary if:
Thrombin inhibitors are new medicines that interfere with the clotting process. They are used to treat some types of clots for patients who cannot take heparin.
Emergency treatmentWhen pulmonary embolism is life threatening, doctors may use treatments to remove or break up clots in the lungs. These treatments are given in the emergency room or in the hospital and include:
Additional considerationsVena cava filters are used when you cannot take medicines to thin your blood, or if you are taking blood thinners and continue to develop clots. The filter is inserted inside a large vein called the inferior vena cava (the vein that carries blood from the body back to the heart). It can catch the clots as they try to move through the body to the lungs. This treatment can prevent a clot from traveling to the lungs. It cannot stop other clots from forming.
Graduated compression stockings are worn on the legs from the arch of the foot to just above or below the knee. These stockings are tight at the feet and become looser as they go up the leg. This causes a gentle compression (or pressure) up your leg. The stockings provide support and reduce the chronic swelling that can occur in the leg after a blood clot has occurred.
PreventionPreventing pulmonary embolism begins with preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It is important to know whether you are at risk for DVT and to take steps to lower your risk.
If you have never had a deep vein clot, but are in a situation that may increase your risk, be sure to:
Life after pulmonary embolismOnce you have had a pulmonary embolism (with or without deep vein thrombosis (DVT)), you have a greater chance of having another one. After treatment has begun and you are feeling better, your treatment will continue at home.
At home, you will continue taking blood-thinning medicines. It is important that you:
Treatment for pulmonary embolism usually lasts up to 6 months. During treatment and after, you should continue to:

When installing Ubuntu 13.04 Desktop, It doesn't show my second hard drive as an installation option. I am trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 on another hard drive. Windows 7 sees my second drive fine, and it is also listed in the bios. Another strange thing is that Install Ubuntu sees my first drive( the one I have Windows 7 on ) fine, but is says "No operating system detected". Please Help!
You may want to UNPLUG your Windows HDD and only leave your blank HDD plugged in then start the Ubuntu Live CD, I have seen Ubuntu not detect two HDD's before. That should solve any confusion. Then use your BIOS to choose between HDD's to boot.

The Last Remnant (Xbox 360) review
"Some battles will be a bit more difficult than they could be and you'll catch vague references to towns you've never heard of, but odds are significant that you won't really feel that you're missing a thing. It's easy to assume that the names are being dropped in an effort to artificially add color to the environments. Complete a few side quests, though, and you'll find out how wrong such assumptions were."

Game 16: No. 17 Arizona (10-5, 3-1) vs. No. 24 USC (12-3, 2-1)
Date: Thursday, Jan. 18, 2001 Time: 8:30 p.m. MST
Location: Olson Court at McKale Center (14,545), Tucson, Ariz.
Radio: Wildcat Radio Network (Brian Jeffries/Joe Nehls)
TV: FSN (Steve Physioc/Marques Johnson)
Game Data: No. 17 Arizona (10-5, 3-1 Pac-10) returns home in hopes of extending its Pac-10 win streak to three games as the squad hosts No. 24 USC (12-3, 2-1 Pac-10) ... The Cats are averaging 86.5 points in its last two games, its best back-to-back offensive output in nine games ... UA has won six of the last eight meetings against the Southern California schools ... Arizona has shot 50 percent or better from the floor in three of its last four halves of basketball ... Beginning tonight, six of Arizona's next eight games are at McKale Center.
The Rankings: UA rose to No. 17 in the current Associated Press poll and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' poll. Arizona opened the year as the nation's top-ranked team in the media and coaches polls. Incidentally, UA has been ranked in the AP top 25 for 101 consecutive weeks, the longest active streak in the nation. The Cats have been ranked in 228 consecutive AP polls released during the regular season.
Arizona Head Coach Lute Olson . . . is in his 18th season at Arizona and his 28th overall as a head coach with a career record of 621-222 (.737) and 429-130 (.767)... He recorded his 600th career win and his 400th victory at Arizona last year and has the fourth most Pac-10 wins in history, trailing UCLA's John Wooden (304, 1949-75), Oregon State's Slats Gill (276, 1929-64) and Washington's Hec Edmundson (266, 1921-47)... He has the second-best conference winning percentage in Pac-10 history (minimum three years), trailing only Wooden (.810/304-74) ... During his 17-year tenure at Arizona, the Wildcats have won one national championship (1997), gone to three Final Fours (1988, 1994, 1997), won nine Pac-10 Conference titles and been to the NCAA Tournament for the past 16 years in a row, which is the second-longest streak in NCAA history (North Carolina, 26)... He also led Iowa to the 1980 Final Four... Olson has been named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year six times (1986, 88, 89, 93, 94, 98), the Big 10 Coach of the Year twice (1979 & 81) and directed the UA program to the nation's best winning percentage over the past 13 years... In his collegiate career, he has produced 35 NBA Draft picks, including 20 at Arizona 15 alone on the 1990s... He has led Arizona to 13 consecutive 20-win seasons and has 22 overall in his career, making him one of only six head coaches in NCAA history to record 22 or more 20-win seasons... Under Olson, the Cats are 263-26 (.910) in McKale Center and have won 191 of its last 202 home games ... He is assisted by Jim Rosborough, Rodney Tention, Jay John and undergraduate assistant Josh Pastner. Olson is 28-9 vs. USC.
Last Time Out: Loren Woods registered the fifth triple-double in school history and Michael Wright added a double-double to lead the Cats to the 25-point win. UA used a 27-9 run over 10:00 of the first half to take control of the contest. Woods (13 pts./10 reb./10 blk.) and Wright (26 pts./10 reb.) combined to hit 13-of-22 shots in the effort. The Cats held Washington to just a 28.6 field goal percentage.
Scouting USC: The Trojans enter tonight's game with a 12-3 record (2-1 Pac-10) after last Thursday's 80-75 loss at UCLA. After opening the season with eight straight wins, USC is 4-3 in its last seven outings. As a team, USC averages 82.0 points per game and is outrebounding the opposition by a +2.4 margin. Individually, Sam Clancy is one of four Trojans averaging in double figures at 18.1 ppg. David Bluthenthal leads the team with an 8.1 rebounds per game average.
The Series: Tonight's game is the 74th meeting of the two schools with Arizona holding a 42-31 series advantage. Arizona has won five of the last seven meetings, and 25 of 30 dating back to the 1986 campaign. Last season, both team won on its home court. Arizona is 26-14 in series games played in Tucson, 15-17 in Los Angeles and 1-0 in neutral-site games.
Last Meeting: All five Arizona starters scored in double figures and they accounted for all but two of the Wildcats points in a hard fought 92-85 win over USC. Except for a 2-0 lead, the fourth-ranked Wildcats trailed throughout the first half as USC shot 64.3% from the field (18-28) and staked a 43-39 halftime lead. Three consecutive three-pointers to begin the second half helped Arizona go up 48-43 and it would be a lead the Cats would never relinquish although the Trojans cut the deficit to two points on nine separate occasions over the course of the next eight minutes. The UA eventually built an 83-73 lead with 4:45 left to go, but USC would reduce the deficit to 88-85 with 34 seconds left and had a chance to tie the game, but Jeff Trepagnier missed a three pointer and the UA's Michael Wright grabbed the rebound to help the Cats go on to the win. Gilbert Arenas scored a team-high 21 points, while Wright had his ninth double-double of the season with 20 points (8-11 FGA) and a season-high 14 rebounds.
Returning to the sidelines: Coach Lute Olson rejoined the program on Monday after taking a temporary leave of absence to support his late wife. Olson, who has been away from the program since Dec. 30, returned to practice after a 16-day absence. He missed five games in that period, during which the Wildcats went 3-2. Olson's wife, Bobbi, passed away on Jan. 1 after a two-and-a-half year battle with ovarian cancer. After discussions with his family, Olson decided the time was right to return to coaching. In terms of why now, said Olson, I talked it over with my family and told them that they needed to get back to their jobs and responsibilities, and they felt that I needed to do that as well.
Leading the Pac: Loren Woods led Arizona to a pair of wins last week by registering a double-double on Thursday and following that with a triple-double on Saturday. For the week, Woods averaged 15.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 7.5 rebounds, while shooting 64.3 percent (9-of-14) from the field and 92.3 percent (12-of-13) from the line. He opened the week by posting his first double-double of the season at Washington State with 17 points and 10 rebounds to go with five blocks. He was 5-of-8 from the floor and 7-of-7 from the line and added two assists in the win. He followed that performance with his second career triple-double in the win at Washington by totaling 13 points, 10 boards and 10 blocks. He hit 4-of-6 shots from the floor and 5-of-6 from the line.
Statistical Rarity: As mentioned above, Loren Woods' triple-double was the second of his career. It was also the fifth in Arizona history and the 13th in Pac-10 history. Woods is the first Arizona player to notch two triple-doubles and just the second Pac-10 player (Jason Kidd, four career) to accomplish the feat. The triple-double is a rare feet, indeed. Statistically speaking, a triple-double occurs in the Pac-10 roughly every 323 games played by league members since 1985 (0.3%).
Doubling up: In addition to Loren Woods' triple-double at Washington, Michael Wright added his fourth double-double of the year with 26 points and 10 rebounds on Saturday. The double-double was also the 29th of his career. Incidentally, six of his 10 boards vs. Washington were on the offensive glass.
Searching for Positives: Although his streak of 24 games with at least one trey came to an end on Saturday, Jason Gardner was able to contribute in other ways. He tallied season highs of seven assists and five steals to go with four rebounds and the third blocked shot of his career. Incidentally, Arizona is 17-4 when Gardner tallies at least five assists in a game.
A Rarity: In Thursday's win over Washington State, Gilbert Arenas set a school record for 3-point FG percentage by connecting on a perfect 6-of-6 three-point attempts. The six treys were a career high for Arenas.
Making a Run: In the sweep of the Washington schools last week, Arizona posted similar runs to take control of both games. In Thursday's win over WSU, Arizona posted a 23-4 run over the last 7:44 of the first half, while the Cats used a 27-9 run over 10:00 of the first half on Saturday at Washington.
Getting Defensive: The Wildcats held both Washington schools to less than 30 percent shooting. The effort marked the second and third times this season that UA has held an opponent to less than 30 percent FG shooting.
Scoring 80: Perhaps no statistic is more telling of Wildcat success than the 80-point mark. This season, Arizona is 6-0 when scoring 80 points and 4-5 when it does not. Over the last three seasons, UA is 34-3 (.919) when scoring at least 80 points. Arizona has scored at least 80 points in its last two games.
Continuing his Climb: Michael Wright moved into 19th place on UA's career scoring list last weekend with 1,196 points. He scored 26 points at Washington to pass Coniel Norman (1973-74). Just ahead of Wright in 18th place is Ed Nymeyer (1956-58) with 1,225 points.
Dubious Distinction: Arizona has lost two of its last three games at McKale Center with both of the loses coming in a seven-day-span (Dec. 30-Jan. 6). It is the first time since the 1983-84 season (Lute Olson's first at Arizona) that the Wildcats have lost two home games in a seven-day period, when the squad actually lost three (Jan. 7, 61-58 to UCLA; Jan. 12, 55-53 to Washington; Jan. 14, 51-49 to Washington State).
Reversal of fortune: Arizona's nine-point loss to Stanford on Jan. 6 equaled the third-worst home loss for the Cats since 1983-84. Here is the list: 12 - Tennessee 61, Arizona 49, Dec. 23, 1983
10 - UCLA 71, Arizona 61, Jan. 19, 1995
9 - Syracuse 79, Arizona 70, Dec. 23, 1995
9 - Stanford 85, UA 76, Jan. 6, 2001
Getting to the Line: Arizona attempted a season-high 47 free throws in the win over Washington (made 30), the second-highest total in the Pac-10 this year, and five shy of a school record. The last time the Cats attempted that may free throws in a game occurred March 4, 1999, in an 88-73 win over USC in McKale Center, when UA made 35-of-48 charity attempts.
Rapid Rise: Led by Loren Woods' 15 blocked shots last week, Arizona tallied a total of 20 swats in two games last week. The preponderance of blocks moved the team from fifth to second in the Pac-10 statistical rankings at 4.40 blocks per game.
In Combination: The forward-center combination of Michael Wright and Loren Woods has been a productive one. In league play, Wright and Woods have combined to average 34.8 points and 14.3 rebounds. The duo is shooting .627 from the floor and .875 from the line. They are Midseason Top-30 selections for the Wooden Award.
Olson Honors: UA head coach Lute Olson will be given the John R. Wooden Award Legends of Coaching award. The award was adopted by the Wooden Award Committee in 1999, and recognizes the lifetime achievement of coaches who exemplify Coach Wooden's high standards of coaching success and personal achievement. Olson will be honored at the 25th annual John R. Wooden Awards program.
Farewell, Bobbi: A special memorial fund has been established in Bobbi Olson's name at the Arizona Cancer Center, where she had undergone treatment since her illness was diagnosed in June 1998. Contributions can be made payable to the Arizona Cancer Center/UAF and mailed to Arizona Cancer Center Development, P.O. Box 245013, Tucson, AZ 85724-5013.
Early Signees: Coach Olson and his staff signed five players to National Letters-of-Intent during the November early signing period: Wil Bynum (5-10, 170, G, Chicago, Ill./Crane Tech Prep), Channing Frye (6-10, 230, C, Phoenix, Ariz./St. Mary's H.S.), Isaiah Fox (6-9, 255, C, Santa Monica, Calif./Crossroads H.S.), Dennis Latimore (6-8, 230, F, Halsted, Kan./Halsted H.S.) and Salim Stoudamire (6-2, 175, G, Lake Oswego, Ore./Lake Oswego H.S.). It was ranked as the ninth-best recruiting class in the nation by Clark Francis' Hoop Scoop magazine
Up Next: Following tonight's contest, the Wildcats will host UCLA on Saturday, Jan. 20. The game will tip-off at 11:30 a.m. MST and be seen nationally on CBS-TV. It is the second of four consecutive home dates for Arizona.

text: May 28, 2014 22:21 Man on painkillers pleads guilty to vehicular homicide Man on painkillers pleads guilty to vehicular homicide River Parishes bureau May 21, 2014; 7:09 p.m. Comments NAPOLEONVILLE — A Pierre Part driver accused of being on painkillers during an October 2012 fatal crash in Assumption Parish has pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide. District Attorney Ricky Babin said Wednesday that Yancy Hebert entered the plea Monday and was sentenced to 10 years in prison by Judge Thomas Kliebert Jr. of the 23rd Judicial District. The district encompasses Assumption, Ascension and St. James parishes. Hebert, who was 46 at the time of the crash on Oct. 25, 2012, had been set for trial Wednesday at the Parish Courthouse in Napoleonville and was facing a count of vehicular homicide. State Police reported at the time that Hebert's pickup drifted across the centerline of La. 70 in the Pierre Part area and crashed head-on into a car driven by Miles Liner, 21, of Berwick. Liner died two days later at a hospital, troopers said at the time. Troopers reported then that Hebert showed signs of intoxication. Babin said Wednesday that later tests showed Hebert was under influence of painkillers. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Importance: Despite the high prevalence and serious consequences of intimate partner violence (IPV), there is a dearth of interventions that have scientific support for addressing this serious public health issue. Objectives: We will investigate the acceptability, safety, efficacy, and cost of a theoretically-based Telephone Care Management (TCM) intervention to prevent further IPV. We expect that the majority of approached individuals will agree to participate in the study, complete the intervention, and report no adverse events. We expect that intervention recipients will have less recent IPV and greater perceived health relative to control group recipients and that these positive outcomes will be mediated by social support and effectiveness in obtaining community resources. Study Design: We will conduct a randomized controlled trial in which half of the participants will receive TCM while the remaining half will receive the control condition--Enhanced Usual Care (UC+). Setting: TCM and UC+ will be delivered through registered nurses at Columbus Children's Hospital emergency department, which is considered a primary care setting according to this CDC announcement. Participants: Three hundred women who report IPV through touch screen computers in this emergency department will participate. One hundred fifty women will be in each study condition (TCM and UC+). Intervention: In the former condition, an emergency department nurse will educate caregivers about the impact of IPV, provide referral assistance, and problem-solve common barriers to receiving advocacy services. In the latter condition, a nurse will telephone caregivers only to monitor the physical health of the child after the emergency room visit and discuss non-IPV injury risks in the home. Outcome measures: Participants will complete the following standardized questionnaires at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months: the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale-2 (IPV), the Short Form-12 (perceived health), Social Provisions Scale (social support), and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (depressive symptoms). Participants will also answer questions regarding intervention safety and utilization of community resources. The study team will carefully monitor treatment fidelity through audio recordings of TCM and UC+ sessions.
