GREENVILLE, N.C. - After facing two AQ Bowl Championship Series (BCS) opponents in its first four games, including a South Carolina program that is ranked among college football's Top 10, East Carolina will return to Conference USA play this week when it hosts UTEP in a pivotal early season interdivisional clash at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 29. The Pirates will try to move their league record to 2-0 for the third time in the last four years and bounce back from a 27-6 setback suffered at North Carolina last week when they meet the Miners. ECU, playing its first home contest since Sept. 1, will also attempt to close out the month of September with three wins for the first time since 2008 before opening October at UCF Thursday.
East Carolina Records and Streaks
|East Carolina
East Carolina Falters At UTEP, 22-17
A late interception on East Carolina's final drive of the game allowed UTEP to seal a 22-17 Conference USA win Saturday night at the Sun Bowl.
The Pirates Against The Miners
East Carolina leads 2-1 ...The Pirates completed a two-game sweep during the first interdivisional meetings between the programs in 2007 and 2008 as both teams combined for 161 points and 1,941 yards of offense ... On the flipside, UTEP notched its first victory in the series last November in a turnover-plagued defensive struggle at the Sun Bowl that only produced a combined 39 points.
Ruffin McNeill Against UTEP
Ruffin McNeill has faced UTEP as a coach four times (3-1) prior to Saturday's game ... In addition to his last meeting against the Miners as ECU's head coach in 2011, he also squared off against UTEP twice as a member of the Texas Tech staff and once while at Fresno State.
Mike Price Against The Pirates
Mike Price saw East Carolina on the opposite sideline for the first time during the series opener in 2007 and is 1-2 ... The Pirates never competed against Weber State (FSC, formerly I-AA) or Washington State when Price was heading those programs ... In addition, Price also never saw ECU as an assistant coach (1969-1980) at Washington State, Puget Sound and Missouri ... The Pirates did face off against Missouri twice in their history (loss in 1982, win in 1983) but Price had left the Tigers' program two years earlier to accept his first head coaching position at Weber State.
McNeill Against Price
Ruffin McNeill and Mike Price stood on opposite sidelines on two occasions before last year's ECU-UTEP matchup - both while McNeill was an assistant on Mike Leach's staff at Texas Tech and Price was heading the Miner program ... The Red Raiders advanced to bowl games in each season, defeating Minnesota in the Insight.com Bowl (`06) and Virginia in the Gator Bowl (`07).
Last Meeting In Greenville Against The Miners - East Carolina 53 - UTEP 21
East Carolina scored on its first seven possessions to jump out to a 40-7 lead and never looked back on the way to a convincing 53-21 Conference USA victory over UTEP in the regular season finale for both teams in 2007 ... The Pirates used a career-high four-touchdown and 111-yard rushing effort from Brandon Simmons and a personal-best 106-yard receiving day from Darryl Freeney to spark the ECU offense ... Defensively, the Pirates shut down the Miners' running game, surrendering only 57 yards, while picking off UTEP quarterback Trevor Vittatoe three times - two in the first half ... Simmons' second scoring run, a six-yarder with 4:24 left in the second quarter, pushed East Carolina's lead to 24-0 before the Miners got on the scoreboard ... Simmons added a seven-yard TD catch from Patrick Pinkney and a two-yard plunge to open the second half before Ben Hartman drilled the second of four field goals to make it a 40-7 cushion ... Pinkney completed 17-of-23 passes for 228 yards to complement a ground game that racked up a season-high 231 yards ... ECU, which also netted a season-best 475 total yards, did not punt - a first since 1983 ... Cornerback Travis Simmons and linebacker Nick Johnson netted pass thefts in the first 30 minutes, while the late Spencer Hampton picked off Vittatoe in the Pirate endzone with no time remaining to close out the C-USA East Division champions' home schedule.
Against The Lone Star State
The Pirates have won 16 of 27 all-time matchups (16-11) against FBS programs from the state of Texas ... ECU is 6-5 against UH, 2-1 vs. UTEP, 2-2 vs. Rice, 2-1 vs. TCU, 2-2 vs. SMU, 1-0 vs. Texas Tech and 1-0 against North Texas ... East Carolina has never faced current Big 12 Conference members Baylor, Texas A&M or Texas on the gridiron.
Ruffin McNeill vs. Texas
Although he's still looking for his first win against a Texas-based FBS institution as East Carolina's head coach (0-4), Ruffin McNeill has recorded an all-time record of 36-20 (.643) when coaching against Lone Star State opponents ... Most of the games occurred when McNeill was wearing the Red & Black while on the Texas Tech staff, including a combined 30 contests against Baylor (10-0), Texas (2-8) and Texas A&M (7-3) ... He's also battled SMU (6-3), TCU (3-1), UTEP (3-1), Rice (3-2), North Texas (2-0) and Houston (0-2) ... Since heading the Pirate program, McNeill has dropped a pair of "Texas" games in each season - falling to Rice and SMU in 2010 before coming up short against Houston and UTEP the following year (2011).
Nearly Halfway Finished By Oct. 1?
East Carolina will play its fifth game in the month of September when it battles UTEP Saturday as a result of both a calendar and scheduling quirk ... In fact, there have only been seven other seasons in the annals of Pirate football history which also have featured a similar early workload: 1978 (3-2 record), 1979 (2-3), 1984 (1-4), 1990 (2-3), 1995 (3-2), 2003 (0-5) and 2007 (2-3).
Against Conference USA Opponents
Since playing its first season in Conference USA (1997), East Carolina has produced an all-time 66- 47 (.584) league record ... Overall, the Pirates have won 15 of the last 22, 19 of the last 27 and 24 of the last 34 C-USA games, while in home league contests, ECU has won 13 of the last 15.
Playing Against The Wild West
East Carolina owns a 12-9 mark (7-3/home, 5-6/road) against the "other side" since the league began divisional play in 2005 - sweeping Tulane (three meetings), taking two of three from UTEP (two), splitting with SMU (four), Tulsa (four) and Rice (four), while dropping two of three to Houston ... The Pirates were 1-2 in 2011 after defeating the Green Wave and falling to the Cougars and Miners after a similar 1-2 ledger in Ruffin McNeill's first campaign (2010) ... ECU was 2-1 in 2009 and also took two of three regular season matchups in 2008 (3-0/2007, 1-2/'06, 2-1/'05) ... On the flipside, East Carolina has booked a 26-10 overall mark against foes in its own East Division.
Last Time Out
North Carolina junior quarterback Bryn Renner passed for 321 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while a relentless Tar Heel defense applied plenty of pressure with seven sacks as UNC rolled to a 27-6 non-conference win over East Carolina ...Renner keyed a pivotal three-minute span in the third quarter that extended UNC's narrow 10-6 halftime lead into a 24-6 cushion with a 62-yard scoring strike to Sean Tapley ... On the Pirates' next possession, linebacker Kevin Reddick sacked Shane Carden at the ECU 15-yard line and produced the game's only turnover that quickly resulted in a four-yard TD run by Giovani Bernard four plays later ... Defensively, the Tar Heels slammed the door on the Pirates in the final 30 minutes by netting six of their seven overall sacks and allowing just 71 total yards on 30 plays - an average of just 2.4 per snap ... Renner got off to a quick start, completing 17-of-22 passes for 208 yards in the first half, but two long East Carolina scoring drives that consumed a combined 12:33 off the clock kept the ball out of UNC's hands ... The Pirates marched down to the Tar Heel five- and nine-yard lines on back-to-back possessions in the second quarter only to have the drives stall before settling for a pair of Warren Harvey field goals ... Trailing by only four, ECU forced North Carolina to a three-and-out to open the second half but a 13-yard loss on a sack and an ensuing punt preceded Tapley`s catch with 10:45 remaining in the third quarter ... UNC's sacks netted a loss of 49 yards that put a dent in the Pirates' rushing total, but on the flipside, ECU limited All-ACC performer Bernard to just 50 yards on 18 carries.
At Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium - 1-0 In 2012
East Carolina's all-time record at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium is 163-84-1 (.659) ... The Pirates opened the facility on Sept. 21, 1963 with a 20-10 win over Brian Piccolo and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in front of 17,000 fans ... Before a 3-3 mark in 2011 and a 4-2 clip in 2010, ECU won a combined 10 of 12 home matchups in 2009 (6-1) and 2008 (4-1) ... Overall, ECU has turned in 36 winning seasons at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
Playing In Front Of Pirate Nation
East Carolina has always been able to claim plenty of hometown support, even more so when playing at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Saturdays during the fall - establishing itself as C-USA's attendance leader on an annual basis ... In all, a total of 6,918,365 fans have seen the Pirates in action since 1963, and in the last four-plus years, ECU has averaged 46,513 (1,116,302/24 regular season games) ... Since the completion of a 7,000-seat expansion project in 2010 that pushed the capacity to 50,000, the Pirates have set back-to-back school records in total attendance and season average attendance, breaking 2010 marks (297,987/49,665) with 300,069 and 50,012 figures in 2011 ... The Pirates opened 2012 by welcoming 49,023 to the Appalachian State game on Sept. 1.
Looking to Restore the `O' Power
After opening the season with a combined 793 yards of total offense (390/ Appalachian State, season-high 403/South Carolina) in its first two games, East Carolina has generated only a combined 461 total yards in the last two contests (228/Southern Miss, 233/North Carolina) ... The Pirates have failed to rack up at least 250 yards of offense in back-to-back outings only once since 2004 (237/West Virginia, 247/North Carolina in 2009).
Tignor's Early-Season Workout
Trent Tignor has launched 17 punts in East Carolina's last two games, the most in a successive two-game period since his current mentor Ryan Dougherty had 17 in back-to-back weeks against Louisville (Oct. 2) and Tulane (Oct. 9) in 2004 ... Tignor earned C-USA Special Teams Player-of the- Week honors for his efforts at USM on Sept. 15 where he averaged 42.2 yards per boot in 10 attempts and planted three inside the 20-yard line.
First Quarter Blues
East Carolina has yet to score in the first quarter of play this year as the Pirates are on the short end of a 35-0 ledger ... The most recent run of early struggles came during the 2005 campaign when ECU went five-straight games without a first period tally against SMU, Memphis, UCF, Tulsa and Marshall ... From a "getting an early lead" perspective, the Pirates haven't scored first since the UTEP game last Nov. 12.
A Pirate Way of Life
The Pirates have forced a turnover in 21 of its last 24 games ... In all, East Carolina has created two or more turnovers in seven of the last 11 games, which includes three each against Appalachian State and Southern Miss this year ... ECU has won 11 of 16 games (11-5) when it forces two or more turnovers in the Ruffin McNeill era, but are just 2-11 in contests when it doesn't.
Cashing Strips for Dough
Of its five fumble recoveries this year, East Carolina has already returned two for touchdowns (Chip Thompson 45-yarder vs. Appalachian State, Montese Overton 16-yarder at Southern Miss) - which stands first nationally.
Keeping The Flags At A Minimum
After the first four contests, the Pirates are the "third-fewest" penalized team in the nation so far this year ... After getting whistled for just two penalties in its opener against Appalachian State, ECU had only one yellow flag thrown in its direction at South Carolina before earning four at Southern Miss and a season- high five at North Carolina last week.
Conference / National Individual Rankings
Inside receiver Justin Hardy ranks second in the conference in punt return average (11.20), tied for fifth in receptions per game (5.75), 11th in receiving yards per contest (66.50) and tied for 15th in scoring (4.50) ... Punter Trent Tignor ranks fourth in the league and 28th in the country in punting (43.15) ... Kicker Warren Harvey currently is placed tied for fourth in field goals a game (1.00) ... Kick returner Lance Ray is sixth in kickoff returns with his average of 22.6 yards per attempt ... Linebacker Montese Overton finds himself ninth in Conference USA is tackles for loss per game (1.17) ... Quarterback Shane Carden has risen to ninth in the league in passing efficiency (110.85)
Conference USA Team Rankings
The Pirates enter this week as the stingiest rush defense in the conference (117.5 yds. per game) ... ECU has recorded the third-most tackles for loss (1.17) and the fourth-highest sacks of all league members (2.25) ... The team is also placed third in total defense (430.25), scoring defense (25.50) and red zone defense (71.4) plus fourth in kick returns (22.89).

Microsoft Surface Pro 2 details emerge. Surface 2 (former RT successor) and Surface Mini in the works too
Microsoft's first try at making their own tablets was a huge failure, to the tune of 1 billion dollars lost. By they have got a lot of cash to burn, and are very persistent on the things they consider to be strategically important.
After all, over the last decade, Microsoft has lost billions on MSN/Bing, with very little to show for it. Yet they still persist. And tablets are even more important to long term future of the company.
So now Microsoft is ready for the round two, and has three new Surface tablets in the works. Surface Pro 2, Surface 2 (successor to Surface RT), and Surface Mini.
No confirmed details on the latter two, except that Microsoft is working on them, but Neowin and Paul Thurrot from Windows Super Site have some info about the Surface Pro 2:
- Pro 2 will look exactly the same as the old Surface Pro
- will be powered by next generation Intel Haswell Core i5 CPU
- will have improved battery life – from 5hrs for the old PRO to 7hrs for Pro 2
- 4GB and 8GB RAM option
- refined, integrated two position kickstand
And, of course, Surface PRO 2 will run the new Windows 8.1 OS.
Will that be enough for Microsoft to break through in the tablet market? Who knows. Poor battery life of Surface Pro 2 was a major gripe customers had with the original Pro. The other problem was Windows 8 itself, and the lack of touch optimized apps. Windows 8.1 has made some improvements there, too.
Maybe that will be enough. If not, well, Microsoft is here to stay, still has some time and cash to burn. They also have some big plans for Windows 9, starting the design from clean slate, and merging Windows Phone and Windows RT OS.
And now that Microsoft bought Nokia, they also get the know-how of how to build some of the best mobile hardware in world. So even if they fail to break through in 2014, 2015 might be really interesting.

A client of mine needs a PDF made which has a list of store locations, there are a lot of store locations however.
Each store is split into several parts,
Store code: BB01
Store Name: Bob's Burgers
State: California
Region: Orange County
Address: 1234 Orange Bob Lane
We would optimally like to have a sort of "drill down" using multiple combo boxes, example: Select "California" from the state box, the Region box then lights up and lists only the regions that falls under California. Then you choose a region, the Store Name box lights up. Choose a store name, and finally you get a list of addresses.
That's the ideal solution, but I would expect we would need to use advanced javascript and maybe even a database to get that to work correctly.
Are there any built-in solutions that would help out our users? Maybe having a search for results text box, by typing "bob's burgers orange county" you get the entry above. I am pretty familiar with Javascript, but I have spent the past 3 hours trying to get something usable out and I just don't know enough about Acrobat.
Other ideas appreciated.

Scottish Circus - contents of score?
Clemens Gresser <c.gresser <at> gmx.net>
Dear All, Has anyone seen the score of "Scottish Circus" (1990)? Could it be that it only says something like what's the entry in Peters' work list?: " 30 min Musicircus based on Scottish traditional music. EP 67496" I have read how Cage told The Whistlebinkies what to do, but in that source (which is an interview just BEFORE the premiere) there seems to be no score just yet. Of course this has happened with Variations VII too (performed 1966; "notated" as score in 1972), and for the "Musicircus" of 1963 there has, to my knowledge, never been a score. Best wishes, Clemens c.gresser <at> gmx.net http://www.soton.ac.uk/~cgresser In case you find superfluous punctuation in this email, please keep it and save it for your next email.

Not UniversalWhile I like the silicon material and the collapsible body, this can hardly be called "universal". The silicon has a very small amount of stretch- maybe adjusting up to 1/8". Beyond that, I had to take a pair of scissors to it. I first tried snipping out the silicon tracks running along the inside. While that was easy enough to do, it still didn't provide enough room for my hair dryer to fit (which is ~1/2" larger in circumference than this diffuser). I then tried to make U-shaped vents, however the silicon ripped easily. While I did eventually get my dryer to fit, the end result is an unattractive disaster that I don't expect to last. Now that I've had to destroy it, I can't return the thing, so I'll soon have to shop for another diffuser. DON'T waste your money on this product!

Artist Details
Tori Kelly
When she was 14, Tori Kelly started writing songs in the bedroom of her Southern California home. Within years she began sharing those songs online, and quickly won over Internet audiences with her sweetly soaring vocals, graceful guitar-playing, and knack for blending breezy melodies with boldly heart-on-sleeve lyrics. With her YouTube channel boasting more than 55 million views and almost 700,000 subscribers, the 20-year-old singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist is now at work on her debut album— a passionate pairing of soul and pop that reflects both her lifelong devotion to music and uncommon authenticity as an artist.
A musical purist who began singing at age three and learned to play drums and guitar by the time she was 16, Kelly wrote, produced, mixed, and self-released an EP titled Handmade Songs By Tori Kelly in May 2012—then saw the EP debut at #6 on Soundscan's New Artist chart and at #9 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. Earlier that same year, Kelly's online popularity skyrocketed when a YouTube video of her stripped-down, goosebump-inducing rendition of Frank Ocean's "Thinkin Bout You" went viral, and to date has garnered over 17 million views.
With the end of 2013 comes the release of Tori's EP Foreword which debuted at #16 on the Top 200 with over 16,000 units sold in the first week. She capped off the week performing lead single and iTunes single of the week, "Dear No One" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
For her debut album, Kelly is back in the studio working to elevate her artistry while delivering honest, emotionally charged music that resonates with those who've supported her musical journey over the years. "I'm always very real in my songwriting—I'm not trying to put on a mask or hide behind any kind of gimmick," says Kelly, who lists artists as eclectic as Michael Jackson, Jill Scott, Jeff Buckley, and Justin Timberlake as key inspirations. "No matter what I'm going to do my own thing. So when people tell me that they relate to my songs, or that something I've written really connects with them, that's just the best feeling in the world."

I've been to several homes that are heated and cooled using geothermal technology in the course of my travels for Natural Home, but I'd never actually had the opportunity to watch as the wells were being drilled. So it was great to visit the site of the Boulder home whose construction we're chronicling and to get the inside scoop on what it takes, sometimes, to make a green dream come true. (Check out the video we just posted to see for yourself.)
The owner of the Boulder home was determined to make geothermal a reality—and that's a good thing, because his site proved difficult. As project manager Ron Flax of Rodwin Architecture explained to me, Can-America Drilling discovered that the building site is on an old, very deep riverbed consisting of coarse gravel washed down from the Rocky Mountain foothills. As workers attempted to drill the loopfield for the geothermal wells, gravel fell back into the drilled hole as soon as the drill bit was removed. After a week of attempts, no progress had been made. The design and building team was ready to abandon the geothermal system entirely and began considering more conventional, if energy-efficient, systems instead.
But the owner insisted, and the team persisted. The geothermal consultant for the project, Jim Richmond of Radiance Corporation, found they could dig the wells using a top-hammer drill rig designed for water wells, which installs a steel casing while drilling and prevents the sides of the hole from collapsing. This required a collaborative drilling operation between Can-America and James Drilling, a water well driller, as water well drilling companies aren't usually licensed by the state to drill geothermal wells.
Construction on the rest of the home continued while the drilling team figured out what to do, so some potential drilling locations were built over. To compensate for that, the design team reduced the overall building volume by lowering the interior height slightly and reduced the amount of glass in the house. These changes allowed the team to reduce the required size and number of loopfields to three holes, twice as deep. Can America Drilling was able to remove the steel casings after the loopfield piping and grout were installed, improving the system's thermal conductivity.
The team pulled it off—the home will now have a much lower carbon footprint and a nice cushion against rising fuel prices. Next step: Insulated Concrete Forms.

Enclosed are Hoosier Basketball Magazine's Top 100 senior boys' high school players for 2012-2013 as compiled by Garry H. Donna, publisher of Hoosier Basketball Magazine.
This compilation is the result of observation of many games during the past season as well as contact and discussion with numerous coaches, sportswriters, sportscasters and college recruiters throughout Indiana.
Further research and evaluation is occurring during the 2013 IHSAA State Finals to determine a final list of 60 seniors. Those 60 boys will be invited to Hoosier Basketball Magazine¹s 26th annual Top 60 Senior Boys¹ Workout Sunday, April 7, 2013 on the
campus of Marian University in Indianapolis.
*Remember only 60 of the Top 100 will be invited to the April 7th Top 60 event.
The purposes of the Top 60 Senior Boys¹ Workout are
1) To enable 60 of the best seniors from the class of 2013 to meet and compete.
2) To afford these same 60 seniors significant postseason exposure
in front of numerous college coaches who will be in attendance.
3) To enable the 2013 Indiana-Kentucky All-Star Game Director and coaches
to view the 60 participants for their purposes.
The Top 60 Senior Boys¹ Workout, in conjunction with the Indiana High School Athletic Association and Indiana Basketball Coaches Association, will be divided into two sessions: 1:00-3:00 p.m. and 3:30-5:30 p.m. Both sessions are open to the public for one general admission price for both sessions.
Once again remember THE attached LIST is the Top 100 Senior Boys¹ list not the Top 60. Only 60 of these players will eventually be invited to Marian University for the April 7th Workout.

According to Lt. Patrick Weaterford, Newport Police Department, police were notified at around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday night of a 28-year-old female suffering from a stab wound at a local hospital. The female told police that she was walking from her vehicle to her residence on Hout Circle when she was approached by a black male wearing dark clothing and a mask who demanded the plastic bag she was carrying, which contained a Christmas present for her child. Instead of handing over the bag, the woman tells police she put her keys between her fingers and hit the suspect in the face. According to her statement, the person then knocked her to the ground and stabbed her in the leg with a large knife, grabbed her bag and fled on foot. Police say her wounds are not expected to be life threatening. Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Newport Police Department at 870-523-2722.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is inviting the community to help it celebrate its new headquarters this week, as it moves from five scattered nondescript office buildings around Seattle to an architectural showcase in the center of its hometown.
The move and the buildings are both symbolic of the ways this family foundation has grown in little more than a decade. The organization has gone from a small charity interested in bringing the Internet to public libraries to the world's largest charitable foundation trying to end AIDS and polio.
Most of the foundation's old buildings didn't even have a sign out front. Now, the staff of nearly 1,000 come to work each day in one of the city's most visited neighborhoods, Seattle Center, home of the iconic Space Needle.

ELBA, Ala. (AP) -- Police in Elba are continuing to investigate a burglary and vandalism at the high school, which led to school being called off for a day.
The Dothan Eagle reports that the burglary was discovered early Tuesday morning.
Elba Police Lt. Robert La Voie said officers discovered a "significant" amount of vandalism inside the school.
La Voie said the acts of vandalism at the school included the discharging of fire extinguishers and the discharge of condiments of like ketchup and mustard. He said they also found some minimal flooding to a hallway and chemistry room, which apparently came from a decontamination shower.
Police said extensive cleanup efforts would be required.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The Stanford distance medley relay team set an American collegiate indoor record Friday night in winning from start-to-finish at the Tyson Track & Field Invitational at the University of Arkansas.
The team of Gabe Jennings, Evan Kelty, Michael Stember and Jonathon Riley ran the distance in 9:30.19, breaking by nearly three seconds the old record of 9:33.00 set by UCLA at the NCAA Indoor Championships last year.
"This is a record we had been shooting for, and the kids did a great job," said Vin Lananna, Stanford's Director of Track & Field. "And I believe we can run faster. The crowd was appreciative of our effort, and cheered us along the way."
Jennings ran the first leg (1,200 meters) of the distance medley relay in 2:52.2. Kelty ran 48.9 in the 400 meters on Stanford's second leg. Stember ran 1:47.6 in the 800 meters on the team's third leg, and Riley ran a 4:00.00 in the 1,600 meters to seal the victory.
Stanford won by ten seconds.

"It works because when you come off a mission, you aren't ready, and it helps to have guys like Lee, Jimmer or guys who have been in the program, or JC guys who can contribute right away," said senior Jackson Emery, who has been part of Rose's success from the start.
"It's not like he has a farm and has to plant seeds and wait for it to grow. It's the perfect storm where you're going to have these guys to build on for several years and then have guys come in who don't have to contribute right away. Then you figure the pieces and make them fit."
Rose has gambled that a guy like Emery can leave, return, and still be good.
He's also avoided emotional meltdowns that kill chemistry, like you see on squads with out of control egos in shorts.
Emery said, "The hardest thing is dealing with the scholarship thing, seeing who is coming off missions, who is going, what position is needed now, what is needed later. All those variables make things complicated but I think coach is really good. Where some plan year to year, here at BYU you have to recruit pretty much a four- or five-year plan. It puts a pretty big twist on the recruiting process."
According to Emery, Rose uses great communication skills with players, and it avoids creating drama as year to year the Cougars change faces more than other schools may.
If you leave a player in the dark as to his role, it can cause expectations that aren't reality. And Rose nips that quickly, said Emery. He did it with Plaisted and Cummard, and has done so with Tavernari, Emery and Fredette.
"The player knows what he has to live up to, not only this season but the next," said Emery. "At BYU, you recruit not only good players but good people. You have to be a good person as far as work hard in school, live the honor code, et cetera, et cetera. With those type of high class people you know there is going to be less drama because they are understanding and willing to work together and I think that is a pretty big factor in why we get along."
Like at Air Force?
"Exactly. At Air Force, their players are good guys. They are disciplined, and they understand their roles and are happy to be on the team and be playing. It's a similar position to what we have, although, I think they have to endure more discipline off the court in school."
What if Tyler Haws was not in the Philippines right now?
"Yeah, I think about it," said Emery. "But what if Lee had gone on a mission? This would probably be his last year. There are always what-ifs; what-if Plaisted had gone on a mission, what would this year be?
"You can think about what-ifs with everything. How good would we be with Mike Loyd right now, if he was still here?
"But that's just basketball. You can't worry about it. Michigan State went to the Final Four and kicked off four players the next year. You can only worry about who you have."

It is almost fall and that means it is try for football. I am not really a sports fan, but luckily football on Notre Dame Campus is not really about the game. It provides something for everyone whether you want an academic lecture, a sunrise mass, or a tall frosty beer while you kick back and watch the game.
On home football weekends, Notre Dame's campus comes alive with anticipation and spirit. Start your day with Mass at 6:45 in the grotto or a Stadium Tunnel Tour from 10AM-5PM. On your next trip in for a game, join in the excitement with Football Fridays at the Eck. Football Fridays take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. outside of the Eck Visitors Center. Admission is free. This weekend is the Notre Dame and University of Michigan game and the Pep Rally is set to kick it off at 5:45PM Friday September 5, 2014. For the night owls you won't want to miss the midnight drum circle on the steps of the Admin building (that is the one with the big gold dome) – the drum line is pretty cool to see, but get there early because there is a crowd.
On Game Day try The Notre Dame Experience in the Joyce Fieldhouse (Begins at 12:00 PM ends: 7:30 PM ). This is a family friendly event. Admission is free to the dynamic and redesigned fan fest allowing fans to emulate the Irish by participating in one of the four different interactive football games. Or, fans may visit the other displays throughout the Experience to collect giveaways or samples for all ages.
Throughout the day, there will be entertainment including an autograph session with former Notre Dame football players, Notre Dame videos and programming, and visits by the Notre Dame cheerleaders and a performance by the Glee Club. Fans can enjoy concessions and drinks, pick up a souvenir from the Varsity Shop and relax in a family friendly atmosphere. The festivities will wrap up at 7:30 p.m. with the showing of the Notre Dame Football pregame show on NBC Sports and then the live broadcast of the game.
Watch the players walk from Guglielmino complex through the library quad at 5:15 and celebrate as the Notre Dame and Michigan bands enter the stadium. At 6:45 is the marching band will parade from the Admin Building to the stadium. If you have tickets, you won't want to miss the band performance inside the stadium, if you do not you can watch it in the Joyce Fieldhouse or take a trip around the stadium to Legends Bar (it can get pretty crowded there too and may require reservations).
A full list of events and activities can be obtained on campus or by visiting www.gameday.nd.edu.

(AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster) LOLITA C. BALDOR| Associated Press May 6, 2014; 10:37 a.m. Comments WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's military leaders are telling Congress that they have raided every other pot of money they have in order to cut spending, and lawmakers must now slow the growth of personnel pay and benefits. In a rare combined appearance on Capitol Hill, the military chiefs say their forces worry more about not having the best training and equipment. They say skyrocketing personnel costs are forcing them to cut the number of troops they have, and erode their ability to maintain forces ready for combat. Senators expressed reservations about slowing the increase in pay rates, and pressed the chiefs on other ways to trim spending. Several continued their opposition to the Pentagon's efforts to cut the A-10 aircraft, which provides close air support for combat troops. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Your beautiful Chicago garden should be a wonderland of natural splendor that brings you joy, solace and peace. Early spring is the time to plan and create it. Many of Chicago's property owners have large lots, but even if you don't you can design your own private world.
Planning is the key to a beautiful garden. Decide what you want to grow, where you want to grow it and how much money you have to create the garden. Yes, you can have a garden for very little money. Commitment to your garden is a key factor because beauty takes effort and dedication.
Seek advice from Chicago conservatories, libraries and neighbors. Online sites are overflowing with information. After you consult a variety of sources, it's time to make decisions. http://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com
Examining what is already growing in your garden is the first step to creating it. If you like a plant, keep it. Get rid of what you don't like. You might sell unwanted plants at a garage sale, or give them to a neighbor to enjoy, or swap them for a neighbor's plant. Once your garden contains only the plants you want, it's time to create planting beds.
Planting beds can be placed wherever you want them. They can be in the center of the yard or along your property lines. They can be in any shape, size or grouping you choose. They can be developed over time or immediately. You decide.
The soil in your beautiful garden should be crumbly and easy to work with. If it's hard, lumpy and heavy with clay, you need to blend in sand and compost until it's workable. Waterlogged soils in low-lying areas need to have the grade raised. Try filling the area with pruned branches and topping it with topsoil before planting. http://www.richsoil.com

Cast, audience reflect on 'Tom Sawyer'
Published: Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 9:24 a.m.
Since the Lexington Youth Theatre has completed the three performances of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer: The Broadway Musical," cast members have returned to their daily lives without having rehearsals in their schedules. Audiences who saw the play will tell you about the allusions to the classic book by Mark Twain, over-the-top musical numbers and plenty of community youth involvement.
The musical has received nothing but great reviews, from critics and guests who attended alike. Madison Armstrong and Carley Parker, who both attended the show Friday, said they really enjoyed the play.
"I wished I was up there performing with them," Parker said. "I loved the stage because it was creative and very different," Armstrong said.
Patience Hunt saw the performance Saturday and had nothing but great things to say about it. "If I had to describe the play in one word, I would say it's outstanding."
Olivia Mast, who attended the Sunday matinee, said, "LYT did an awesome job producing this."
Rance Orrell, who starred as Tom Sawyer, said that "despite the difficulty and stress of having a lead role, I was able to do my best with support from all LYT board members, other adults and even other kids in the show. Before this play, I was afraid to sing in front of even small crowds but now, after months of working with the director and music director, I wasn't just singing in front of a crowd, I was up on stage, running around and singing at the top of my lungs."
Bob Dye, director of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," held auditions Aug. 27 and 28. The cast list was posted soon after and rehearsal began. Performers worked for two months, from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The week before opening night, Tech Week, gave the cast members a chance to learn about the technical side of theater, such as the behind-the-scenes things like music, lighting, sound, etc.
LYT's performance was held at the Edward C. Smith Civic Center with an unusual set. There were no major set changes during the entire play, but rather they used solo performances and spotlights when they needed to move large props. Possibly the most interesting aspect of the stage was the bluegrass band. Positioned in the left corner of the stage and towering high in the air, it was the exact opposite of the cliché orchestra in the proscenium arch.
This performance marks the first bluegrass musical from LYT in all 25-plus years of performing.
If you love theater and you're in eighth to 12th grade, don't worry. Your chance to be a part of Lexington Youth Theatre can begin in January, when auditions are held for their next performance, "Grease."

As the launch of LISA Pathfinder (LPF) draws near, more and more effort is being put in to the preparation of the data analysis activities that will be carried out during the mission operations. The operations phase of the mission will be composed of a series of experiments that will be carried out on the satellite. These experiments will be directed and analysed by the data analysis team, which is part of the operations team. The operations phase will last about 90 days, during which time the data analysis team aims to fully characterize the LPF, and in particular, its core instrument the LISA Technology Package. By analysing the various couplings present in the system, the different noise sources that will disturb the system, and through the identification of the key physical parameters of the system, a detailed noise budget of the instrument will be constructed that will allow the performance of the different subsystems to be assessed and projected towards LISA. This paper describes the various aspects of the full data analysis chain that are needed to successfully characterize the LPF and build up the noise budget during mission operations.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Valentine crafts are fun,
Your kids will love them too!
Within the last two weeks, we've received a generous amount of snow throughout Central Kentucky. Many schools canceled classes due to inclement road conditions, and most of us forgot what grass looks like. Most of us are still limiting our travel, and crafting is definitely a cozy way to spend a cold afternoon in February. This bracelet tutorial is a great way to keep the kids occupied, and they will enjoy making Valentine's Day gifts for their friends. The bracelet is simple to make, and requires very few materials.
For this project, you will need:
- Stretch Magic
- Red, pink, and white faux round pearl bead assortment (preferably 10mm size beads.)
- Plastic silver colored round spacer beads (preferably 5mm or 6mm in size.)
- Plastic alphabet beads, especially the letters I, U, and a heart bead.
- Scissors
- Wrap the Stretch Magic around your wrist to measure out how much elastic cord you will need. Add in an extra two inches to tie off the bracelet.
- Cut off the amount of Stretch Magic you will need from the spool.
- Tie a knot one inch from the end of the Stretch Magic. This will prevent your beads from falling off the elastic cord.
- Begin adding your beads, starting with a plastic silver spacer. Create a pattern with the spacers and the faux colored pearls until you have added beads to about one third of the desired length of the bracelet. At this point you will have about six spacer beads and five faux pearl beads added to the Stretch Magic. The number of beads really depends on the size of the bracelet.
- After about the sixth spacer bead, add an alphabet bead with the letter "I." Add another spacer bead after the alphabet bead.
- If you have an alphabet bead, or a heart shaped bead, add it after the spacer bead, and then add another spacer bead directly after the heart bead.
- Next, add an alphabet bead with the letter "U." Follow the alphabet bead with another round spacer bead.
- Continue with your pearl and spacer pattern until you reach the desired length of the bracelet. Ideally, you want the "I love you" sentiment in the middle of the bracelet.
- Tie a knot after the last bead at the end of the bracelet. You want the last bead of the bracelet to be one of the faux pearls so the pattern is continuous.
- Tie the two ends of the Stretch Magic together so that the bracelet is snug, hiding the knot in the Stretch Magic as much as possible. Be careful not to tie the bracelet too tight, otherwise the bracelet might pop apart with much stretching. The bracelet should be able to stretch on and off the wrist comfortably.
- Trim off any excess Stretch Magic.
Your bracelet is now ready to wear, or to give as a gift!
Make sure to use plastic beads, or other lightweight jewelry mediums, as the Stretch Magic may not be able to support heavier gemstone or glass beads.
You can also personalize your Stretch Magic bracelet with the alphabet beads with your own name or a friend's name. Switching up your patterns and designs makes for endless possibilities!

College Hockey:Kirnan Takes Over as Coach of Manhattanville Women
Served as Assistant For NCAA Runner-up Team
PURCHASE, N.Y. — Manhattanville has named assistant coach Nicole Kirnan to take over its Division III women's program.
Kirnan replaces Rick Seeley, who left to start Clarkson's new Division I women's program.
"I am very enthusiastic to have Nicole coach our women's ice hockey team," said school president Richard Berman. "Her experience as both a player and coach are invaluable, as is her commitment to academics. Nicole's love of the sport and intense respect for the students will ensure a successful season and career."
Kirnan takes charge of a program that advanced to the first ever NCAA Division III championship game last season before falling to Elmira, 2-1. It was only the school's third season of varsity hockey.
Kirnan is a 2001 graduate of St. Lawrence and played for the Saints' team that finished as runner-up in the inaugural NCAA Division I Women's Championship during her senior year. After graduation, she came to Manhattanville to serve under Seeley.
Last season, Kirnan helped the Valiants go an impressive 23-2-2, finishing first in the ECAC Division III East with a record of 16-0-2. The team also captured the postseason tournament title with wins over Rensselaer and RIT before going on to finish second in the NCAA tournament.
With Kirnan ascending from assistant to head coach, the school also announced the hiring of Catherine Elkins as assistant coach. Elkins, a native of Bernardsville, N.J., comes to Manhattanville after a storied playing career at Middlebury, where she graduated in 2002.
Elkins' accolades include being a four-time First Team All-American, a three-time All-ECAC selection, an All-NESCAC selection her senior year, a two-time ECAC All-Tournament team member, and a finalist for the Division III Player of the Year Award in 2002. She helped Middlebury capture the AWCHA National Championship twice during her career in 2000 and 2001.

Backer Cancels Spring Trade Show
H.H. Backer Associates canceled their spring trade show, scheduled for April 9-11, 2014, at the Atlantic City Convention Center in Atlantic City, N.J.

H.H. Backer's flagship event, Backer's Total Pet Expo Fall taking place Sept. 19-21, in Chicago, will continue as an annual event.
Exhibitors that have contracted for the spring show will have their choice of receiving a full refund or applying their deposit to the fall show.

Very sad to hear this. Have always enjoyed the show & was looking forward to it this year. Have always found my best vendors at this show.
Feb 06. 2014
I think the every two year thng killed it…. We the retailers need a regularly scheduled show… I think if they kept it yearly it would have been better for both the retailers and wholesalers… I can't tell you how disappointed I am that this was cancelled… I can't get to Chicago or Las Vegas or California or Florida for trade shows… this was my lifeline….
Feb 09. 2014
With Global Pet Expo just a month before and also on the East Coast, not a surprise. Too bad there are zero shows on the west coast.
Feb 21. 2014
very dissapointed, we were looking forward to attending

Has anyone had luck with a household bank card that Cap 1 took over? I have had it a year now. Stuck at $450 and it has a $59 annual fee attached to it.
Yes; the Cap 1 Executive Office gave my information to the HSBC exec team, who waived my annual fee for life on my Orchard card. They said that until it was converted to a Cap1 product they were not able to PC, and that they couldn't raise the limit until the transition was over. Still a win in my book, as now I don't have to close my oldest credit card.
If you don't get anywhere that way, just try again after the transition.

I emailed last night and have yet to receive a response when's a good wait period?
Usually a day or two for contact, instant answer on product changes, rewards, and annual fees, and 3-5 business days on limit increases.
I would be happy for them to waive the annual fee for now. I am going to keep it regardless, but I cringe at the very thought of that fee for a useless card without any rewards. However, it is my oldest major credit card on file so I just deal with it, knowing it at least got me where I am
