Bronx, NY - The year 2009 is finally here and if it is anything like 2008, Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing is in for yet another extremely busy year in the boxing world. Whether it was exciting sold out shows, major signings, or watching our fighters climb the ladder in the world ratings, Star Boxing had it all, including having two of its top fighters being named to Dan Rafael's ESPN.com, Top Prospects of 2008 list. Below is a brief break down of the Star Boxing Roster and what they accomplished this past year.
It was a tremendous year for the Kingpin, going undefeated against an opposition with a combined record of 80-13-1, 63KO. He jumped four spots in the WBA, WBA #9 to WBA #5, and went from being unranked in the WBC and IBF to now ranked as the WBC #10, IBF #14 rated heavyweight in the world. ESPN.com boxing analyst Dan Rafael ranked Johnson as one of 2008's top prospects stating, "There are few notable American heavyweight prospects, but the 6- foot-3, 240-pound Johnson, of Asbury Park, N.J., is one of them." Look for 2009 to be an even bigger year for Johnson as a title shot is looming.
The 2004 Olympic team captain was impressive in his fight on ESPN's Friday Night Fights on May 9th, making the absolute most of his national television debut, destroying the usually durable Dave Brunelli in just a minute and thirty one seconds of the very first round. Vargas promises a fantastic 2009 and looks to crack into the top ten of the heavyweight division.
It was busy year for the long-time promoted Star Boxing heavyweight. The fan favorite, ultimate warrior Maddalone fought four times, going (3-1, 3KO) with his only loss coming in an all out war against undefeated, world rated heavyweight contender Denis Boytsov (23-0, 18KO). Boytsov (WBO #9, WBA #14) had all he could handle with Maddalone before going on to win a tough decision. Although Maddalone was fighting miles away from his hometown crowd in New York, (the fight took place in Germany) his performance had those in attendance chanting USA by the time the final bell had sounded.
Itwas an up and down year for the Warsaw, Poland native. After an impressive performance in his Star Boxing and U.S. T.V. debut, (co-feature on ESPN2's "Friday Night Fights") TKO5 over Terrell Nelson on April 25th , he then dropped a disappointing loss to Zuri Lawrence in an ESPN2 "Wednesday Night Fights" co-feature on August 6th. Sosnowski bounced back with vengeance though, knocking out former Mike Tyson conqueror Danny Williams (40-7, 31KO) on November 8th, in Williams native United Kingdom. With the win Sosnowski seems to be back on track and looks to make some noise in the upcoming year.
James, the 2007 National Golden Gloves Champion chose to bypass the 2008 Olympic games and turn pro. The Native American James had only one fight in 2008 before suffering an injury to his hand, winning a four round decision over Timo Schwarm on the undercard of the Wladimir Klitschko vs. Tony Thompson bout for the IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight championship. Prior to the bout James had served as one of the main sparring partners for Klitschko leading up to Klitschko's title defense. James expects to be fully healed and ready to go by early 2009.
Escalera is a participant on this years "Contender" which is being aired on the Versus network. He defeated Jon Schneider in his only fight in the series thus far, which was aired December 10th.
Muriqi bounced back in 2008 from his disappointing, highly contested, majority decision loss to former light heavyweight king, Antonio Tarver, with a four round destruction over game veteran Jameel Wilson on January 31st. Muriqi, who is ranked in all of the major sactioning bodies (WBO #10, WBA #13, IBF #14, WBC #16) will be back in action in a major fight on February 14th when he takes on Clinton Woods in an official IBF Light Heavyweight Eliminator.
The former amateur standout burst onto the scene on February 15th stopping Borngood Washington in the fourth round. Riley steam- rolled his way through the rest of his opposition, finishing off the year at a perfect 4- 0, 3KO. Riley, who hails from Miami, Florida, will be back in action on January 14th at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
Stevens signed with Star Boxing in early 2008 and had a perfect year, going 2-0, 2KO, and getting his once very promising career back on track. The Brownsville native Stevens seemed to get back to his old form under his new promotional team, delivering two devastating knockouts in both his performances, reminiscent to the beginning of his career when he had people referring to him as a little Mike Tyson. Steven's management team has stated they are looking to drop him down in weight, which could spell serious trouble for the middleweight division.
The 2007 amateur world champion, and 2008 U.S. Olympian Andrade, viewed by many to be the most highly touted prospects to come out of the amateurs in years, turned pro on October 23rd in a national televised bout on the Versus network, stopping his opponent Patrick Cape in the second round. Andrade was equally as impressive in his second fight, fighting in front of his hometown fans in Rhode Island on the Seasons Beatings card on November 29th Andrade handed his opponent a four round brutal beat down before the ref finally called a halt to the contest. Along with Kevin Johnson, Andrade was also listed as one of Dan Rafael of ESPN.com's top prospects of 2008. "He has everything you like to see in a rising talent: good size (he's 6- foot-1), a deep amateur background, fast hands, power and ring smarts," stated Rafael. Andrade, who is co-promoted by Star Boxing and Banner Promotions, is scheduled to be in action in Paris, France on February 14th and again in the U.S. in early March.
The Mexican-American southpaw was one of the most decorated amateurs to ever come out of Arizona, and was widely considered to be America's top medal contender for the 2004 Olympic Games before Gonzalez opted to bypass the games and turn pro. Gonzalez's decorated amateur career includes wins over 2004 Olympic gold medalist, Andre Ward (16- 0, 11KO), top rated, undefeated light middleweight Alfredo Angulo (14-0, 11KO), and an astonishing four wins over WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (23-0, 19KO). Gonzalez is slated to make his Star Boxing debut on February 20th on ESPN2's "Friday Night Fights" telecast against Richard Guiterrez (24- 2-1, 14KO) in Miami, FL.
Tsurkan fought two times in 2008, stopping dangerous warrior Jesse Feliciano in April, and then losing to world rated Alfredo Angulo (WBC #1, WBO #5, WBA #6, IBF #8) on October 4th on HBO's Boxing After Dark. Although he lost to Angulo, Tsurkan showed why many consider him to be one of boxing's ultimate blood and guts warriors as he refused to go down throughout the fight, taking Angulo's best shots and landing many good ones of his own, which made the fight an exciting bout to watch for those in attendance and those tuning in at home. Tsurkan looks to bounce back in 2009, and might do so in the welterweight division which could be a very smart move for the Russian.
Rodriguez (IBF #6) went unbeaten in 2008, (2- 0-1, 1KO) culminating his year with a highly disputed draw against Isaac Hlatshwayo (28-1- 1, 10KO) in Hlatshwayo's native South Africa. The fight was an official IBF Welterweight Eliminator for the number one spot. Rodriguez hopes to be able to avenge the draw in 2009 and has vowed that this time he will not leave the scoring up to the judges and will dispose of Hlatshwayo inside the distance.
Alvarez signed with Star Boxing in 2008 and made his long-awaited return to the ring after almost a year layoff, by winning a ten round unanimous decision over Terrance Cauthen in Atlantic City on November 7th. Alvarez, whose only defeat came at the hands of now IBF welterweight champ Joshua Clottey, will look to reassert himself as one of the top fighters in 2009.
Serrano who resides in Philadelphia, PA tore through his competition going a perfect 6-0, 4KO in 2008. Serrano was chosen as one of the "Sweet 16: Philly Boxing Prospects on the Rise," and at just 19 years old is one of boxing youngest and hottest prospects. Serrano is slated to be back in action in March.
Along with his stable-mate Serrano, Robinson was also chosen as one of the "Sweet 16: Philly Boxing Prospects on the Rise." Robinson who was chosen as one of the top prospects to watch going into 2008 did not disappoint, fighting three times, (3-0, 1KO) and looking equally impressive each time out. Look for a busy 2009 for both Philly prospects.
Cauthen went 1-1 in 2008, winning a close decision over previously unbeaten, knockout artist Alexis Camacho (17-1, 16KO) on ESPN2 on July 16th before losing a close majority decision to fellow welterweight contender Shamone Alvarez (20-1, 11KO) back on November 7th. Although Cauthen lost it was an extremely entertaining bout with both fighters giving as good as they got for the entire ten rounds. 2008 saw Cauthen drop back down to welterweight after fighting at jr. middleweight for the previous three years. The loss in weight seemed to really fit Cauthen, as he once again showed the boxing ability that enabled him to medal at the 1996 Olympics.
Camacho, who was born in Mexico but now resides in Austin, TX, was the former Mexican Amateur World Champion. In his first fight under the Star Boxing banner he lost to fellow staple-mate Terrance Cauthen in an exciting, closely scored co-feature bout on ESPN2's "Wednesday Night Fights" back on July 16th in San Antonio, TX. The knockout artist Camacho got back into the winning column when he brutally TKO'd Edvan Dos Santos Barros at just fifty two seconds of the second round. The fight was the co-feature bout of the evening and shown live on TeleFutura. Camacho looks to continue his winning ways in the year to come.
The Pride of Greece "Mighty" Mike revived his career and showed that he is still one of the top light welterweights in the world by reeling off four consecutive wins in 08'. Ranked as the IBF #6, WBO #7, WBA #11, and WBC #11 light welterweight in the world, Arnaoutis repositioned himself at the top of the division and put himself in line for a major fight in 2009. After consecutive losses in 2006 (Ricardo Torres - WBO Light Welterweight championship) and 2007 (Kendall Holt - WBO Light Welterweight Title eliminator), Arnaoutis got back on track in 08' has issued challenges to all top contenders and champions. Arnaoutis has also recently began working with famed trainer Buddy McGirt to get him prepared for when his oppurtunity comes.
In his second year under the Star Boxing Banner, Oubaali turned in two very impressive performances, both aired live on ESPN2. On February 15th Oubaali took a unanimous decision from Ashley Theophane who at the time was (20-2-1, 7KO). On August 6th Oubaali fought as the main event in that evening's ESPN2's "Wednesday Night Fights", against Chris Fernandez. Lightweight champion Nate Campbell, who was doing commentary that night, stated that the fight was one of the best fights he had seen all year, as Oubaali and Fernandez fought the majority of the bout in a phone booth. Oubaali, who is perhaps one of the most exciting fighters to watch watch with his non- stop punching style, displayed a ferocious, double fisted attack, eventually breaking down the game Fernandez, and causing the referee to call a halt to the contest in the 8th round. Since joining the Star Boxing roster Oubaali is (3-0, 2KO) and seems to get better and more dangerous each time out. Look for Oubaali to make a charge for the top of the light welterweight division in the upcoming year.
2008 might have been the last year we will see long-time middleweight contender, and former IBO middleweight champion Joval lace up the gloves. The 40-year-old Joval took on up and coming contender James "Buddy" McGirt Jr. on July 25th, losing a ten round unanimous decision and most likely his last chance at challenging for a middleweight championship. If it is indeed the last time Joval fights, what a career he had. Joval was known for his non- stop punching, pressure style that excited fans each time he stepped in the ring.
Previously unbeaten jr. welterweight Lanardo "Pain Server" Tyner (19- 2,11KO) saw his 0 go in 08', but against top level competition. Tyner dropped a twelve round decision to Arnaoutis in May and a ten round decision to unbeaten propsect Lamont Peterson (25-0,12KO) in November.

Reviews for Maple Walnut Banana Bread
"Made this up because I was overrun with ripe bananas. Searched high and low for my loaf pan, couldn't find it, so ended up using a 9x9 square pan instead. Made streusel with 1/2c white whole wheat flour, 1/2c maple sugar and about 4T butter. Nuts omitted due to allergies."
"Made this recipe and it turned out great! I used vanilla extract instead of maple and I added yellow food coloring, still fabulous!"
"I made this yesterday. I used vanilla extract & egg substitute, it came out perfect!! nice and light and golden. I omitted the nuts on top and put them in the batter instead. Excellent for company to :) you can make it into muffins as well ."
"Very good, i added pineapple with the recipe and turned out great. we dont have maple flavoring so i used vanilla instead. Awesome!"
"Two thumbs up! Didn't have maple flavoring, so used 1 Tablespoon maple syrup."

Download Oracle Database 11g; Dive Into New Series
By oracletechnet on Aug 13, 2007
Oracle Database 11g for Linux is out there now under the OTN Developer License (our motto, with props to Niall Litchfield: "Free to download, free to learn, unlimited
evaluation"). As usual, Windows and other releases are to follow. (Some reporters' fixation with the initial Linux-only release is mysterious, because releasing on Linux first - Oracle itself runs on Linux - is SOP.)
Along with it, you can dive into the first three installments (Database Replay, Partitioning, Schema Management) of Oracle ACE Director Arup Nanda's "Top Features for DBAs and Developers" how-to series, with many more to follow. We intend to complement this content with screencasts as well.
I also had the honor last week of speaking with Dr. DBA himself, Ken Jacobs, about the highlights of this releases and its "place" in the pantheon of Oracle RDBMS. Download the mp3 here.

Some of the DLC contents for the upcoming "Halo" mash-up pack in "Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition" have been further hinted. According to a message from his personal Twitter page on May 16, Roger Carpenter teased that he can't stop humming one of the music tracks from the expansion. He is most likely referring to the memorable theme song of the first-person shooting series.
4J Studios also revealed that a pre-made world will be part of the mash-up pack. Roger Carpenter noted that the area created by the development team is "stunning." In previous mash-up packs, players get to explore a world based on other video games such as "Mass Effect" and "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim." Some of the landmarks and structures from the role-playing games were remade in "Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition."
Finally, a new screen was also shown off for the "Halo" mash-up pack. The image shows off 343 Guilty Spark, who is the most requested character who fans wanted to appear in the DLC. Fans of the series will recognize the villain as the main protagonist in "Halo Combat Evolved." It is also often refer to under different aliases such as Monitor and Oracle. You can find a screen of the character from "Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition" with the photo attached near the top of this article.
The "Halo" DLC is the third major mash-up pack for the Xbox 360 port, following the aforementioned "Mass Effect" and "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" expansions. The same type of downloadable content has not yet been released for "Minecraft PS3 Edition" although Cinema Blend reported that the development team is planning to add support for more DLC in the upcoming 1.06 title update. "Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition" is also getting the TU16 patch, which is expected to fix some lingering glitches.
The open-world sandbox video game is already a big success on the home console side. Both PS3 and Xbox 360 versions have combined to sell at least 13.5 million units so far. The retail release of "Minecraft PS3 Edition" was recently made available as well, which should further push the sales of the software products to new heights.
The success should continue in the future with the pending releases of "Minecraft PS4 Edition," "Minecraft Vita Edition" and "Minecraft Xbox One Edition." The video game should sell well on the three new platforms, especially for the PS4 and Xbox One. The next-generation console versions were recently confirmed to feature worlds that are 36 times bigger than the current console ports.

Jason Haver: Charts Suggest New All-Time Highs After Correction
Jason Haver
Friday's new high gives bears a shot for the near-term, but suggests the market will ultimately see higher prices.
Friday (March 21) saw a bearish reversal day as prices opened higher and made a new high, then reversed to close lower. Normally a day like that has some follow-through on the sell side. The new high in the
(INDEXSP:.INX) has created a potential problem for bears on the longer time frames, though, as it strongly hints at an incomplete upward wave structure. There are a couple ways we can get there, which I'll outline below.
I've noted the 1883-84 zone as resistance more than a few times in the recent past, and the market demonstrated that it needed a bit more coiling before breaking through. The form this coiling takes will tell us a lot about how strong the rally will be once resistance is reclaimed. The chart below outlines two options in detail:
1. In black and blue is the option of an expanded flat. The minimum expectation for an expanded flat is a decline south of the black A wave low at 1839. If the market bottoms there, that would likely mark the bottom of wave ii of v and lead to a strong rally toward the high 1900s in iii of v. The intermediate structure allows for wave C to be one degree higher and lead to a much deeper correction, but we don't want to get too far ahead of the market, so we'll cross that bridge if and when we come to it.
2. In green is an ending diagonal. The ending diagonal is near-term bullish, but much more bearish on an intermediate basis. This means that, ironically, bears want to see the market rally sooner rather than later.
Both of those counts anticipate the market will do some backing and filling here before rallying much higher. However, in the event of an immediate rally that overtakes 1908, then it's probable the market is already in the midst of wave iii of v.

For the long-term picture, SPX has remained undecided and continues to keep its options open. The question has been unchanged for nearly a month: Is the fifth wave completing, or will it extend? SPX has refused to give a definitive answer so far.

Speaking of long-term charts, on Friday, the
Philadelphia Bank Index
(INDEXSP:BKX) captured its long-term target of 73-74. This target dates back to nearly a year ago, and its capture represents the potential of a nearly complete long-term correction in BKX. Keep in mind that this is simply a potential to be aware of at this stage -- this market hasn't broken any key downside levels (obviously, since the target was just captured), or given any signs of doing so yet. In fact, the 10-minute chart suggests it's unlikely the final high is in for this market. Nevertheless, it's worth watching -- and if you were long BKX since 59-60 (or lower), then the target has been captured.

In conclusion, bulls have now created a wave structure that strongly suggests there will be new all-time highs in the market's future. What happens in the next few sessions will help detail how soon and how much higher. Trade safe.

Location: Lute Olson Court at McKale Center (14,545), Tucson, Ariz.
Radio: Wildcat Radio Network (Brian Jeffries/Joe Nehls)
TV: KWBA-TV (Dave Sitton/Bob Elliott)
Game Data: No. 16 Arizona (7-4, 0-0 Pac-10) hosts California (8-3, 0-0 Pac-10) in the Pacific-10 Conference opener for both schools ... It is the first time the Cats have opened the Pac-10 slate at McKale Center since the 1997-98 campaign ... Arizona looks for a change in momentum after dropping three of its last five games ... Since 1985-86, Arizona has won or shared nine Pac-10 championships ... In that 15-year span, the Cats have averaged 14.5 conference wins per season ... Standing-Room-Only crowds have witnessed UA's last two home games.
The Rankings: UA slipped to No. 16 in the current Associated Press poll and to No. 15 in 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 99 consecutive weeks, the longest active streak in the nation. The Cats have been ranked in 226 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 621-223 (.736) and 429-131 (.766)... 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 263-27 (.907) in McKale Center and have won 191 of its last 203 home games ... He is assisted by Jim Rosborough, Rodney Tention, Jay John and undergraduate assistant Josh Pastner. Olson is 28-9 vs. California.
Last Time Out: Antonio Jackson's driving jumper with 10 seconds remaining gave Mississippi State a 75-74 win and snapped Arizona's 31-game Fiesta Bowl Classic win streak last Saturday. The Bulldogs' 40-30 rebound advantage proved to be the difference in a game that saw seven ties and nine lead changes in the second half. Jackson, who scored a game-high 22 points, earned tournament MVP honors for his efforts. Loren Woods led Arizona with 21 points, his second straight 20-point game.
Scouting California: The Golden Bears (8-3) enter league play riding a seven-game win streak after Saturday's 81-59 win over LaSalle in the championship game of the Golden Bear Classic. Six of those seven wins have come at home. As a team, Cal shoots .455 (280-of-616) from the floor and .658 (181-of-275) from the line and outscores the opposition by 9.6 points per game. Individually, Sean Lampley leads the team with a 17.9 ppg average and chips in with 6.5 rebounds per game.
The Series: Tonight's game is the 59th meeting of the two schools with Arizona holding a 35-23 series advantage. Arizona has won seven of the last nine series meetings, including both tilts last season. Arizona is 19-9 in series games played in Tucson, 15-13 in Berkeley and 1-1 in neutral-site games.
Farewell, Bobbi: The Wildcat family suffered a great loss earlier this week, as Bobbi Olson died peacefully Monday morning, surrounded by her family, from complications related to ovarian cancer. She was 65. Mrs. Olson, the former Roberta Rae Russell, was the wife of Arizona basketball coach Lute Olson. The couple had been married 47 years and have five children and 14 grandchildren. "Bobbi faced her illness with great courage," said Lute Olson. "Her love of family remained her priority and even in her last moments she continued taking care of and comforting all of us as only a wife and mother can do. A special memorial fund is being 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. A public memorial service is planned for Sunday, Jan. 7, in McKale Center at 3 p.m.
Taking Over: It was announced prior to last Saturday's game that coach Lute Olson would take an immediate leave of absence from the program in order to spend quality time with Bobbi. UA associate head coach Jim Rosborough has assumed temporary leadership of the program for an indefinite amount of time.
Leading the Way: Loren Woods posted averages of 23.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks last week as the Wildcats split a pair of games. Woods shot 60 percent from the floor (15-of-25) and 80 percent from the line for the week (16-of-20) in logging 66 total minutes. He scored a season-high 25 points in Thursday's win over Butler (9-of-11 FGs) to go with nine boards and three blocks. He added 21 points in Saturday's one-point loss to Mississippi State to go with six boards and two blocks to earn Bank One Fiesta Bowl Classic all-tournament honors.
Loss of Control: On the year, Arizona carries a +8.1 rebound margin. But in the team's four losses, the story has been different. Including Saturday's loss in which the Cats were outrebounded, 40-30, Arizona has been outrebounded in two of those games and is even in terms of rebound margin. The total number of rebounds in UA's loses is 140-140.
Bouncing Back: Junior Richard Jefferson rebounded from a seven-point effort vs. Butler to equal a season high with 20 points vs. Mississippi State. Jefferson hit 9-of-13 shots from the floor and added six boards and five assists in the effort. It was his second 20-point effort of the year and helped him earn a spot of the Bank One Fiesta Bowl Classic all-tournament team.
Two Twenties: When Loren Woods topped 20 points in both Fiesta Bowl Classic games, it marked the first time this season that a Wildcat player had topped 20 points in consecutive games and the third time in Woods' Arizona career that he has accomplished the feat. Richard Jefferson also added 20 vs. the Bulldogs to mark the second time this season that the Cats have had at least two players with 20 points in the same game (3 vs. Gonzaga).
That's Not Wright: Michael Wright tallied a season-low six points in the loss to Mississippi State, snapping his streak of 10 double-figure games this year. He had been the only UA player to score in double figures in each game this season. He currently averages 16.5 points per game and posts a .588 field goal percentage.
More Honors: In a team vote following practice on Tuesday, seniors Eugene Edgerson, Justin Wessel and Loren Woods were named tri-captains. All three are fifth-year seniors with a combined 283 games of collegiate experience.
Team Leader: Jason Gardner continued his string of making at least two treys in every game this year, when he went 2-for-7 from behind the arc vs. Mississippi State. He has at least one trey in 21 straight games dating back to last year. He leads the team with 33 treys and a 44.0 3-point FG percentage.
Looking to Improve: Arizona's 7-4 (.636) record heading into Pac-10 play next week is the team's worst non-conference record percentage-wise since the 1986-87 season, when the Cats had a 5-3 (.625) non-league mark entering conference play.
Roller Coaster: Gilbert Arenas continues to have an up-and-down season. After scoring a career-low two points in Thursday's win over Butler, Arenas did rebound with 14 points. Interestingly, though, 12 of those 14 points came in the second half. Arenas hit 4-of-6 shots, including 2-of-3 treys, and added two free throws en route to those 12 second-half points.
From the Line: The Wildcats continue to do a good job of capitalizing on its free throw attempts. Arizona is tied for the conference lead with a 73.9 free throw percentage and its 207 made FTs (18.8 made per game) also leads the league. Incidentally, UA has made more free throws than the opposition in eight of 11 games this season.
Continuing his Climb: With his six points on Saturday, Michael Wright inched up UA's career scoring list with 1,111 points. Just ahead of Wright at the moment in 24th place is Phil Taylor (1975-78) who totaled 1,127 career points.
League Leader: The only Arizona player to lead a Pac-10 statistical category, Michael Wright leads the league when it comes to rebounding. The junior leads the Pac-10 with a 9.4 rebounds per game average. His 41 offensive rebounds also tops the conference rankings.
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.
Call them favorites: In the Pac-10 Conference's annual poll of media members, the Arizona Wildcats were a unanimous choice to finish first in the 2000-01 men's basketball race. Arizona received all 29 first place votes and 290 points overall to finish ahead of runner-up Stanford. In the last 11 years, the preseason winner of the poll has won or shared the actual league title nine times. UA has been the preseason favorite six other times.
In Pacific-10 Conference Play: Arizona enters its 23rd season of Pac-10 competition with a composite record of 265-131 (.669). In those 22 seasons, that record is second in the league behind only UCLA. The Wildcats have won or shared nine league titles in that span, the most of any Pac-10 member. Arizona's .669 winning percentage ranks second among all Pac-10 members since 1916.
A Top-10 Player: Even though he ranks sixth on the team in minutes played (22.6), Luke Walton ranks second on the team in assists (39) and steals (16). Those numbers also place him among the Pac-10 leaders, as he ranks ninth in assists (3.55/g) and eighth in steals (1.45/g).
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
Stanford Game Time Set: The start time for the Jan. 6 game with Stanford has been set by CBS-TV. The Pac-10 matchup will tip at 11 a.m. MST in McKale Center and be part of the network's split national package prior to the National Football League's AFC Divisional Playoff.
Up Next: Arizona hosts No. 2 Stanford in a nationally-televised game in McKale Center on Saturday, Jan. 6. Tip-off on CBS is scheduled for 11 a.m. MST. Following that contest, the Wildcats hit the road for the only time in the month of January with games at Washington State (Jan. 11) and Washington (Jan. 13).

Sand or gravel for turtles?
I'm going to transfer my turtle
into my 75 gal and I was wondering
what to use. Sand or gravel? I will
also have plants in here. I was going
to go for pool filter sand because it's
much cheaper, but people said the turtle
waste will sit on the top and I would have
to clean it daily. My filtration is a fluval
406 100 gal. If I'm going with gravel, I would
need about 150 lbs of gravel for a 75 gal?
That's pretty expensive though. What do u guys
I think it
A. depends on the turtle. softshells really need sand-not gravel. i had a small snapping turtle eat so much gravel that it couldn't swim to the surface to get air.
B. would be easier to clean sand even if that means the poop just sits on the surface of the sand for several days. gravel, i think will entail vac the whole thing every week
that's what I think
I mean yeah, you won't notice the waste as much with gravel, but it doesn't mean it won't BE there.. I personally would rather have waste visible and easier to clean up..
Also sand will pass through their digestive tracts more easily if any in ingested.
Gravel is not good for turtles , since they eat just about anything including substrate ! It's hard for a turtle to digest gravel and could get stuck "on its way out" :-)
Sand is much easier to clean as the poop just sits on the surface as mentioned above . I mixed some black sand with pool filter sand to make a "salt & pepper" looking substrate , it's not too dark but dark enough not to notice the poop. I also have some convicts in with the turtle so I don't ever see poop as it just dissolves in the water due to so much movement. I would recommend some lucky bamboo plants as they are great for eating all the nasties in a turtle tank .
Seems a bare bottom tank is easiest to clean. Only thing in the tank other than turtles being the raft or island.
Certainly not the most attractive setup, but it's practical.

I've never kept a turtle long term, but I've known some people who did, and it seemed like ingesting substrate was a constant problem/risk.
I'd second the bare-bottom, and if you are concerned with appearances, you could try putting in some slate or lava rock siliconed in place, or even building a backdrop (and putting it on the bottom) like they do for palludariums.
I think the safest thing is either nothing, or rocks big enough they won't fit in the turtle's mouth.
If the tank is empty at the moment you could spray the bottom glass (underneath) with krylon speckled paint ... It will look like sand substrate but will be a bare bottom
Should I go moss carpet then? I really don't like
bare-bottom and I have a soccer ball sized
java moss ball to use. I might just use sand. Remember guys,
I'm trying to have some plants in here. :P
my ultimate suggestion would be to combine it all.
-spray paint bottom
-use larger size rocks or slate or whatever
-use anubias and java fern that can be attached to rocks
you also have to consider that the turtle might eat or just tear up your plants, plent of people keep turtles and plants. and plenty fail.
I have five turtles. Three red ear sliders, and two yellow belly sliders. My suggestion, is to either leave it bare bottom, or put in large river stones that are bigger than the turtles head. Aquatic turtles are known for eating off the bottom and can ingest the sand or gravel which can cause impacted bowels and possibly death.
Also, of all the plants I have tired in my tank, none have survived. If they don't eat the plant, then they tear it apart until it won't survive.

Sand or keep it bare. Gravel and stones that the turtle can swallow will cause impaction and maybe death. They will sometimes eat the sand too but that will pass harmlessly.
Large rocks will work too but I find that stuff gets trapped between them and its hard to clean and if they are light enough the turtle will knock them around and it may scratch or break the glass.
Plants are hit and miss, try something tough like java fern. Mine keeps tearing parts of even my silk plants. I have found that marimo balls work. My turtle took a big bite of one, spat it out and never touched marimos again.
I had large river stone they couldn't swallow when I had my tank. The turtle love to move the rocks around and redecorate. I would dump in a bunch of snails from my others tanks now and again and they would spend hours searching through the rocks for snails, so gave them a treat to eat and to hunt for and kept them active.
I have a juvenile yellow belly slider in a 40g breeder with a bare bottom. Clean up is a snap using a siphon. I have parrot feather and water hyacinth floating on the surface and some Java Fern and Christmas moss tied to rocks on the bottom. I also have some fat head minnows and a catfish in the tank. I recognize that eventually the turtle may eat the flat heads and I am ok with that. The catfish will be moved to a pond in the spring. On one end of the tank I have a power head pushing debris across the tank where a in tank filter pulls it in. I test the water regularly and rarely find and ammonia or Nitrites. Nitrates are about 5ppm. I also have some large rocks and some Locust branches in the tank. The locust branches are submerged at one end and out of the water at the other where the basking lamp is. This is a very natural look and the turtle is often on the log basking.
I've got sand in our redear slider tank..It's not hard to clean at all as long as you don't let it go to bad.I just siphon the waste up and if a little sand gets sucked up with it oh well.I've never noticed it eating the sand but it will make a mess out of anything i put in there so trying to grow plants, i think would be hard.

The Miami Hurricanes had never swept back-to-back ACC road series since joining the conference back in 2004.
Until now.
Miami defeated Virginia Tech 9-2 in its series finale Sunday afternoon to win its eighth game in a row and finish off the sweep in Blacksburg.
Lefthander Bryan Radziewski picked up his first win since March eighth, allowing two runs while striking out seven batters in seven innings of work. Those two runs came in the first inning before Radziewski settled in and shut the Hokies down the rest of the way.
After scoring a run in the second inning, Miami plated three more in the third to take a 4-2 lead it would never relinquish. After Tyler Palmer led off with a single, he stole second and advanced to third on a poor relay throw by Virginia Tech. He then scored on a wild pitch by starter Jon Woodcock to tie the game at 2-2.
That wasn't all that went wrong for Woodcock in the third. Freshman Zack Collins reached second on a throwing error and then proceeded to third on the poor relay. Brad Fieger then drove Collins in with an RBI groundout to give the Hurricanes a 3-2 lead.
Woodcock then surrendered a double to freshman Sebastian Diaz and followed that up with a walk to Johnny Ruiz before being pulled after only 2.2 innings of work. Brandon Lopez then scored Diaz with a single off reliever Aaron McGarity to put Miami ahead 4-2. The Hurricanes scored five more insurance runs in the ninth to win their eighth straight, their longest winning streak of the season.
The series didn't begin as easily for Miami on Friday night as the Hurricanes had to fight back from a five-run deficit in the eighth inning to win 8-7 to take game one in dramatic fashion.
Miami trailed 7-2 entering the eighth before scoring four runs to pull within a run. Collins and Brad Zunica each hit RBI singles to make it 7-5 and Lopez followed them with a sacrifice fly to make it 7-6.
After A.J. Salcines and Cooper Hammond pitched a scoreless eighth, Miami's bats stayed hot in the ninth. After Dale Carey walked with one out, Palmer hit a double to leftfield to score Carey and tie the game 7-7. Collins then delivered another RBI single to score Palmer and finish off the comeback. Closer Bryan Garcia picked up his eighth save of the season with a scoreless bottom half of the inning.
Collins continued to be red hot at the plate for the Hurricanes all weekend, driving in a total of five runs over the three-game set to bring his RBI total to a team-leading 27 for the season.
After driving in two runs in the series opener, he drove in another in Saturday's 4-3 win with an RBI single in the first inning. Fieger also had an RBI single in the second and Ruiz plated another run in the third with an RBI groundout that gave Miami a 3-0 lead.
Virginia Tech picked up a run in the bottom half of the inning but Miami got it back in the seventh when Fieger scored on a wild pitch from reliever Sean Kennedy.
Miami starter Andrew Suarez continued to pitch fantastic on the other hand, tossing 7.2 innings before being pulled in the eighth after giving up a two-run home run to Brendon Hayden that cut the Hurricanes' lead to 4-3. Suarez improved his record to 4-1 on the season and has surrendered just seven combined runs in his last five starts. Garcia also threw a spotless ninth for his ninth save of the season.
Next up for the Hurricanes will be the UCF Knights in Orlando Wednesday night before heading home for a three-game series with Pittsburgh beginning Friday. Miami lost to UCF at home earlier this season 9-2.

NT Thickened Nuchal Fold
OMG!! So I had my 1st trimester sceening 3 weeks ago. Doc said it looked like there might be some thickening at the neck. Ok, didn't hear ANYTHING back, until today. When another practice called and said they want to set up an appt, with their state of the art equipment, to fully see (screen) with an ultrasound. Of course I panicked, so I called my dr. They told me they are just being thorough and following up on a reccomendation. They said my blood results came back normal and not to worry so much. But I can't help but worry. It's scary. My husband doesn't want me to go the next screening.. Just to my OB. He said, it's only going to make me worry and we're having the baby no matter what. Can you please give me advice... I'm in such a panic. Thank you

Take a deep breath! It's probably nothing. Stressing yourself will only raise your blood pressure for now. The only thing to do once you get prego is hang on for the ride and worry when it's time to worry. You'll love this baby no matter what. Go get the tests your doctor recommends when he recommends them. I would even say to not even look this up online so you can't worry more (you probably already have). Good luck and keep us posted!posted 08/04/2010 by Anne4nra

PopTech goes to Austin #SXSW
We came, we saw, we spent time with PopTech friends…and we made a bunch of new ones. SXSW – you treated us well. We just got back from Austin and our minds are buzzing with everything we saw and heard. And now, a recap of some of what we did:
We touched down in Austin on Friday afternoon and hit the ground running. Divide and conquer proved to be the key tactic for me, PopTech president Leetha Filderman and our board chair, Paul Schaeffer. We made it to the convention center just in time to see Erik Hersman and Reg Orton's panel about the BRCK and designing from the rest of the world. We refueled with some brisket tacos and then set out to check out the panel, "The Next Steve Jobs May be from Africa" featuring Jessica Colaço from the iHub team. We swung by a conversation with Jean Case of the Case Foundation and heard about ways to approach social change fearlessly. An Ushahidi meet-up at the Violet Crown was the perfect way to cap off the night.
On Saturday, we worked to get our bearings. Lesson learned: Becky is not a good navigator. In any case, we kicked the day off over coffee with a PopTech friend and then managed to reunite with PopTech Fellows throughout the day, including Nick Merrill, Leila Janah and Josh Nesbit (panels here and here). While the weather was not overly cooperative (read: very rainy), a steady stream of caffeine and snacks (ie Fritos) kept us going.
By Sunday, we had a good rhythm down. We had a few energizing coffee meetings with PopTech supporters who also happened to be in Austin. We sat in on a SXSW Accelerator pitch session on health technologies and spied one of our founders, Bob Metcalfe from afar, who was one of the judges. We then hustled over to the convention center to catch the tail end of Brandon Stanton's Humans of New York talk followed by a presentation by Fabien Cousteau. We wrapped up Sunday eve with a stop at the Spotify party at which we had the pleasure of watching Chromeo perform. Thanks to Rich Frankel for the invite – we had a great time.
On Monday, (finally, a sunny day!) we had breakfast with a PopTech friend at one of our favorite spots, Old Pecan Street Café. Back to the convention center we went, this time to catch a session with Girls Who Code CEO Reshma Saujani. Afterwards, we headed over to the Participant Media space at Wanderlust and took in a fantastic panel, "Innovating at Scale: Tech for Social Good," which featured PopTech Fellow Anushka Ratnayake, Meighan Stone of the World Food Program USA, Meryl Stone of Google.org and Rose Beaumont of MasterCard. It was refreshing to see a panel full of smart, inspiring women.
Later that day, we hosted a PopTech meet-up at the BitTorrent party. Thanks a bunch to Matt Mason for generously offering up their venue. It was a blast to round up the PopTech troops and spend time catching up outdoors. There's nothing quite like looking around and seeing people we know from all over the world gathered together.
Whew. That's some of our SXSW experience in a nutshell. It was great to see the ethos of the PopTech network — collaboration and engagement — in action. It makes us even more excited for the PopTech conference this fall. October can't come soon enough.

Health, art, constitutions and the truth: Reasons to celebrate on International Women's Day
Brilliant. Curious. Intrepid. Compassionate. Committed.
The extraordinary women in the PopTech network are making a difference in the world in ways that range from producing health innovations that save mothers' lives and keep girls in school (Laura Stachel and Megan Mukuria), to making art and music that helps us remember that joy and happiness matter (Helen Marriage and Imogen Heap), to co-authoring Iceland's national constitution so that it suits its people (Silja Bára Ómarsdóttir), and to reminding us that we should always tell the truth (Laura Poitras). And in many, many, many other ways as well.
We celebrate the work of the women in the PopTech network this International Women's Day.

My sabbatical year
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
After more than a decade helping to transform PopTech into a respected global innovation and social change network, I am happy to announce that in 2014, I am taking a long-desired creative sabbatical. My collaborator, PopTech's President Leetha Filderman, will be taking the reins. She and the PopTech team are preparing for an amazing 2014 calendar, including unveiling the theme and speaker lineup for our annual conference, implementing a new series of events called the PopTech Roadtrip, and identifying the 2014 classes of our renowned Fellows programs. Stay tuned for an exciting year ahead!
During this time, I'll be diving into ideas related to our work, exploring new vistas around creativity, social innovation and resilience, and working to bring the lessons I've gathered in the last decade to a broader array of organizations and projects. While common in academic settings, the practice of granting sabbaticals is now gaining traction among progressive companies and organizations. I am proud that PopTech is on the leading edge of this idea.
During my sabbatical year I will remain affiliated with PopTech, acting as a strategic advisor to the Board and working on a limited number of projects. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to engaging with all of you in our community in new ways.
Wish me luck on my adventure!
How to succeed in sports... and in life
What is the single characteristic most likely to predict success in athletes? Our mini-series concludes with two powerful women.
We posed the question to world-class adaptive snowboarder (PopTech 2012) Amy Purdy, who said, "I believe it's your ability to visualize yourself. Visualization is mental practice and your body doesn't know the difference between mental practice or physical practice."
For those of you who don't already know, Amy is part of the first-ever Paralympic snowboarding team and will be competing in Sochi this March. We'll be rooting for you, Amy!
Olympic boxing gold medalist Claressa Shields joined Amy Purdy at PopTech 2012. She talked about her challenging journey to the Olympics and shared insights that sound familiar to those we heard from Amy Purdy, Rodney Mullen and Elizabeth Streb over this past week. Unwavering determination and the will to fight go a long, long way. Also, you might have heard that Claressa Shields recently won her first USA Boxing Elite National Title with a unanimous decision. It's a huge win for her and another step to getting her the recognition she deserves.
A common thread we've seen in talking to these athletes is many of the qualities that predict success in a sport carry over to life outside athletics, too. We hope you enjoy Amy Purdy and Claressa Shields' talks.
Robot love
A lovely talk for Valentine's Day. At PopTech 2009, Kacie Kinzer took the stage to tell us about Tweenbot. It's a tiny, cardboard robot she built to help her explore what technology can reveal about empathy and cooperation. Hear how its cuteness convinced 29 strangers to help it with a task.
The woman who could fly
Next up in our "Here comes the gold!" series is Elizabeth Streb, Extreme Athlete and PopTech 2007 speaker (her talk). We asked her the question we posed to Rodney Mullen yesterday: What in her opinion is the single characteristic most likely to predict success in athletes?
Her response? You need a "rapid unremitting Junkyard Dog will." You need "fight...the impulse to never retreat - or surrender." And you need to be able to "contend...with pain in a theoretical manner."
Elizabeth's update? She is the star of Catherine Gund's amazing new film, "Born to Fly," which will premiere at SXSW this March. You can also catch it at the Film Forum on September 10th in NYC. For those of you hungry for a "more tactile and fierce existence in the world," see this! It will inspire you.
Here comes the gold! And not just in Sochi...
With everyone's eyes on Sochi, we got to thinking about some of the talented and innovative athletes who've graced our own stage. We've had an Olympic gold medalist, a world-class adaptive snowboarder, and an extreme action artist, just to name a few. These guys are good. Really really good. So we asked a few of them what in their opinion is the single characteristic most likely to predict success in athletes.
First up: Rodney Mullen, "The "Godfather of Street Skating" (Watch his PopTech 2013 talk here)
"When skaters — or any athlete I've known, really — internalize the competitive part so much that it dissolves, they become what they do; that's the first that burns the hottest, that isn't conditional, and doesn't waver — the rest are just performance parameters that hopefully line up for 'em. Nearly all the pros I can think of who make it to the top and stay there — a fairly small number — have a little bit of craziness to them. In fact of the most gifted ones I know who didn't make it, that same kind of craziness is the one thing they lack. The nature of How We Practice determines success more than any single factor — excluding overly generalized terms, like 'gifts' or 'drive.'"
Camden skateboarders of all ages enjoy learning from Rodney.
As for what's new in his world, Rodney reports that he has been doing some work with an amazing photographer that "will capture skating in a way that's definitely never been done before," which all came about through a friendship with Dhani Harrison, George Harrison's son. We can't wait to share the results!
Next up? Elizabeth Streb. Stay tuned.
Data, impact, jobs, design: 20 minutes with PopTech Fellows
Earlier this week, we opened the nominations for the 2014 class of PopTech Social Innovation Fellows. Do you or someone you know qualify? Take a look here and apply between now and April 1. Fellows gain access to training, mentors and a year-round community to increase their visibility and create lasting impact.
To celebrate our search for the next generation of innovators, we're highlighting the work of a few PopTech Fellows alumni below. Enjoy!
"I met a lot of other people...who wanted to use design to close that gap in social inequality instead of continuously increasing it. I learned there are tens of thousands of designers and engineers who want to be involved in humanitarian work, but their opportunity is limited to volunteering or low-paying jobs...that's failure on all of our parts." - Heather Fleming of Catapult Design
"90% of the planet is thought to be literate and youth in poor countries speak English, they use Facebook on their mobile phones and they don't want our charity, they want a job. So the big question is, how do we employ them?" - Leila Janah of Samasource
"To date, we've had over 3,000 students from 100 countries in one of our 50 online courses and these students have gone on to get jobs and start projects in their communities. 95% have said, 'This has made a difference in my life and in my work.'" - Nick Martin of TechChange
"There's all this data available to help [social organizations] maximize their impact, and no one is looking at it." - Jake Porway of DataKind

The Master
My post count is not what it was, in other words it was big, now it is small. I don't like that. I realize it was probably some small technical problem, so I was just wondering if someone can fix it for me. It would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your divine time.

One of my Redpolls was controlled at Heysham this-morning which is rather nice having ringed and retrapped it twice here between Feb and just over a week ago on April 10th.
Otherwise it's been mothing time with one notable record of a Waved Umber - very scarce in Lancashire, recorded at only a handful of sites before.
|Waved Umber
on Friday we had to drop my sister-in-law off at Manchester Airport so had a good excuse to meander back via Dovestone Reservoir above Mossley where a Two-barred Crossbill had been seen. We eventually found the right car-park and heard a few Siskins overhead. After about 10 minutes I heard a Crossbill call and found 'the' bird - a rather handsome first-year male - sitting on top of a larch where it stayed for around 15 minutes singing and feeding. Splendid - I didn't have my camera with me of course.
Yesterday, I had a walk up Langden Valley with my son, Peter, and had a couple of singing male Ring Ouzels, Stonechat, Peregrine and several Willow Warblers and Common Sandpipers. No sign of any Harriers though, nor Wheatears surprisingly. After that it was up to Stocks where Mark had found a Green-winged Teal (the North American cousin of our Teal). We got there, just, as my clutch started to fail. We saw the bird as well as some cracking male Siskins, a couple of Red-breasted Mergansers and 12 Pinkfeet (rather odd) before I headed back to see if we could get the car back home (which we did somehow!).
Today, there have been plenty of birds in the garden - more Siskins and Redpolls overhead - whilst a pair of Jays has taken up residence in the clough at the back of the house. Blackcap, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Goldcrest and Treecreeper have all been singing. At the Reservoir, a pair of Little Ringed Plovers have got territory and a couple of Common Sandpipiers are present too. Plenty of Swallows and Sand Martins there today along with my first House Martin of the year. Another week and we'll hopefully have a lot more migrants making landfall.

[Update April 2013 – President Obama rescinds pay 2013 GS pay rise] Well it looks the 2013 GS pay raise debacle took another turn with the President signing a new executive order that continued the freeze on pay adjustments for federal civilian employees and those on the GS schedule. This was after a 0.5% raise was initially approved (see previous update below), but was superseded with the latest executive order. The final 2013 pay table is shown below.
The latest executive order (issued March 26, 2013) also stated that any increase in pay schedules should not be made until after December 31, 2013. Which means that federal employees can expect no potential pay raises this year unless they get a promotion or within grade step increase.
2014 GS pay raise and updated scales now available in this article.
[Jan 2013 update following fiscal cliff deal and executive order] The fiscal cliff deal passed in Congress and brokered by Vice President Joe Biden, Senate leaders Harry Reid (Democrat) and Mitch McConnell (Republican) contains provisions to lift the three year federal employee pay freeze. Under the agreed deal the current pay freeze for government workers on the GS scale will be lifted, along with incoming members of Congress.
Per the President's executive order signed in late December, federal employees can expect a 0.5 percent pay raise in 2013 after the budget freeze expires on March 27, 2013.
But a pay raise is not a done deal with Republican legislator Michael G. Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) getting a bill passed in the house that would continue the GS pay freeze through the end of 2013.
I will continue to provide updates to the GS pay tables with final pay raise details as the relevant bills pass through Congress and encourage you to subscribe (free) via email to get the latest updates
[Dec 2012 Update] Unfortunately it looks like there will no GS pay raise in 2013 following the President's signature of a Congress approved six-month government spending measure (continuing resolution). The resulting budget freeze at 2012 levels means federal employees and members of Congress will not see a pay rise or salary bump until April 2013 at the earliest. President Obama had recommended a 0.5% pay raise for federal workers in 2013, conditional on Congress passing a budget. This clearly did not happen – which meant the multi-year GS pay freeze was extended. Individual employees on the GS scale still remain eligible for raises if they receive promotions, step increases or performance awards. Below is the 2013 GS pay table, which is the same as 2012 and 2011.
[Update] The 2013 pay raise for GS pay scale based workers is up in the air with the House Appropriations Committee (responsible for the house federal budget proposal) advancing a spending bill that does not contain a pay raise for federal workers in 2013. This is in contrast to the 0.5% proposal (see update below) that the President had proposed.
The house bill containing the annual federal pay raise proposal is known as the Financial Services and General Government spending bill. The Senate's version of the annual appropriations legislation also omitted language on federal pay raises in 2013. The lack of provisions for a raise in both the House and Senate bill does not necessarily mean federal workers will not get a pay hike in 2013. In fact the president has the authority to determine a raise based on the Employment Cost Index if Congress fails to explicitly block a pay raise.
[Mar 2012] In his 2013 budget, President Obama is calling for a 0.5% federal employee pay raise after two years of no increases. The proposed raise has to be approved by Congress and is likely to be bitterly opposed by Republicans, who control the House, and want no further increases in government spending until the national debt is cut.
Rep. Dennis A. Ross (R-Fla.), who chairs a House subcommittee overseeing the federal workforce, called the pay plan "pure politics" and labeled Obama "a public sector union puppet" for making the proposal. "Federal employees are paid better, receive better benefits and enjoy unparalleled job security, compared to their private sector counterparts," Ross said in a statement. (Washington Post)
Some rank-and-file federal workers said Friday that the proposed raise is nominal at best and that they think they've sacrificed enough. For an average federal employee the raise would be equivalent to an additional $500 annually — less than $20 per paycheck, before taxes.
The 0.5% raise is still well below the 3.6% COLA increase for 2012 and 2% private sector pay increase in 2011. Military members received a 1.6% pay rise for 2012.

Muslims are Not a Minority
The most persistent myth of the Western Dhimmi narrative is that Muslims are a minority and must receive special protection and accommodation. But Muslims are not a minority. There are 1.5 billion Sunni Muslims worldwide, outweighing Catholics as the next largest religious faction at 1.1 billion and Hindus at 1 billion. They are still a minority of the overall population in Western countries, but a demographically trending majority.
In Belgium, 50 percent of newborns are Muslim and empty Belgian churches are being turned into mosques. The most popular baby name is Mohammed and of the top 7 baby names, 6 were Muslim. A quarter of Amsterdam, Marseilles and Rotterdam and a fifth of Stockholm is already Muslim. The most popular baby name in Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam and The Hague is… Mohammed.
Europe's Muslim population doubled in the last generation, and is set to double again. By 2025, (a decade and a half away), a third of all births in the EU will be Muslim. The demographic writing is already on the wall. A third of Muslims in France and Germany are teenagers or younger, as compared to a fifth of the native population. A third of Muslims in the UK and Belgium are under 15 versus a fifth of the native population. Counting all age groups, they're a minority. But in generational demographics, Muslims are swiftly becoming a majority.
Looking at these numbers it is hard to argue that Muslims are a minority. They are not a majority at the moment, but majorities are not just a statistical snapshot, but a cultural and demographic trend. Countries are not defined by the past, or even by the present, but by the future. By the direction in which they are headed. And Europe's future is a Muslim majority. Most European governments have accepted that and are acting on it. There may currently be more warm European bodies than Muslim ones, but the culture is being steered by the assumption of an Islamic future.
America is not nearly as vulnerable to the Muslim demographic bomb, because it is less socialist and more multicultural. It also has no former Muslim colonies, like England or France. Or at least it didn't have any before. But the liberation of Iraq has touched off a swarm of 'refugees' moving to the United States. While some of them are Christian, the majority are Muslim. By law we are obligated to accept 5,000 a year. The 2008 target for Iraqi immigration was 12,000, far more than most of the former Soviet Union combined. Not significant numbers alone, but they are part of a bigger picture.
In 2005, almost 100,000 Muslims became legal residents of the US. In 2009, it was 115,000. And the numbers continue to rise each year. That means that already they make up around 10 percent of immigrants to the US.

Dress it up or down, I only wish I also had a black suede Raz or Bombaleo clutch to go with it.
The toes were too tight!! I sent them back. I loved the way they look. Beautiful. Just wish they were not so ignore across toes . Uncomfortable
I haven't worn them out yet, but they fit perfectly when I tried them on at home. And they looked even better than they did on the screen.Thanks.
I am normally a AA and this shoe seems tight in the toes but a bit wide in the arch area
Always a good fit with lots of style. One of my favorite shoe brands.
The shoes are fabulous. I didn't want a plain pair of shoes, but I also didn't want them to be too distinct so that I could wear them almost daily. They are very pretty and comfortable enough for long wear with lots of standing.
It's hard to find navy pumps that aren't boring. These are lovely. The pointed toe makes them fashionable. The heel is just right. And, they are very, very comfortable. I like them so much that I also have them in black.
Very comfortable yet elegant. Love the low heel, goes great with slacks. I only wished it was available in leather as velvet cannot be worn year round.
These shoes are gorgeous! They are elegant, stylish and very comfortable! What more could you ask for?

If you're looking for something different to do for the Fourth of July weekend you only have a few more chances to catch this intergalactic musical Jim and Dave ('s Blood Meets Jupiter) running at the Raven Theatre through July 6, 2014. Jim and Dave are longtime beer-drinking buddies who spend their evenings hanging out at a local bar until they meet some 'out of towners.' In this fun production inept aliens, who need to prove their worth to the intergalactic council by bringing high-ranking humans to save the universe but they wind up with Jim and Dave instead. The show travels through the galaxy encountering several species of aliens of every shape, size and personality. The production does a lot with the small theatre space through lighting, costumes, puppets and great Star Trek style spaceship tumbling. Audiences will enjoy the fun, the upbeat music, and all of the cosmic visual effects that go along with a show that is set in outer space.
An outer space musical is a huge undertaking produced independently by authors Steve Clark, Kalena Victoria Dickerson, and Ed Plough in collaboration with Project 891 Theatre Company. This writng team has been creating musicals together for eight years and Director Michael Rashid helped workshop the original Jim and Dave script years ago and now the whole group has come together the Raven Theatre for a full production. "To say Jim and Dave is "one-of-a-kind" is an understatement of cosmic proportions," says Director Michael Rashid, "I can't honestly think of another folk-rock outer- space buddy- comedy sci-fi musical."
The shows creators include Chicago playwright Kalena Victoria Dickersen whose work has been performed at Goodman Theatre and Prop Theatre, produced by Breadline Theatre Group, Tantalus Theatre Group, and Chemically Inbalanced Comedy, commissioned by Raven Theatre, and workshopped by the Women's Theatre Alliance of Chicago. Kalena has worked on a number of projects with both of her current collaborators including Steve Clark is a self-taught songwriter and composer whose songs have been performed with Scrap Mettle S.O.U.L. and Tantalus Theatre Group. For the past three years, his acoustic song cycle The Haunting of Old Ebenezer has played throughout Chicago. Edward Plough has recently published his scholarship on musical theatre adaptations of Shakespeare and is an active musician and theatre artist, Plough has co-composed four original full-length musicals with his longtime collaborators and close friends, Stephen Clark and Kalena Victoria Dickerson.
Director Rashid says of the plays creative team, "With Jim and Dave ('s Blood Meets Jupiter) Kalena, Steve and Ed have given us their most purely joyful, and most accessible, work yet…an audience leaves not just with a smile on its face, but with a wonderful message of true friendship; of what it means to live with joy on this world, and in all the worlds beyond."
Jim and Dave ('s Blood Meets Jupiter) is a tremendous undertaking for the small, itinerant Project 891 Theatre Company. "It's our first production of an original work and our first musical." stated Artistic Director Ron Popp. "We try to focus on newer and lesser known theatrical pieces and as such, this project fits perfectly within our mission statement." There is also a three piece band playing for the show, another incredible feat for this small company and space. The musicians include – Roy Freeman (piano), Christian Perez (drums) and Michael Evans (guitar)
Jim and Dave('s Blood Meets Jupiter) features Chicago actors Pete Navis, Joe Lugosch, Conor Clark, Amy Gray, Gabriel Fries, Mike Mazzocca, Jorge Jose Bolanos, James Stanton, Hillary Gokenbach, Kathleen Dennis, Kalina Kitten McCreery and Gracia Gillund.
Performances for Jim and Dave ('s Blood Meets Jupiter) runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 3:30 p.m. at the Raven Theatre, 6157 N. Clark Street in Chicago. For Tickets: 773-338-2177 or visit raventheatre.com. To learn more about Project 891 Theatre Company, please visit www.project891theatre.com. So be sure to get your ticket for the last spaceship takes off on July 6.

"Invented by American ophthalmologist Adelbert Ames in 1934, the room bearing his name is a trapezoidal space that appears to be cubic, an elaborate three-dimensional optical illusion in which a person standing in one corner looks like a dwarf while someone in the opposite corner appears to be a giant. It's also the name of this trio featuring French alto saxophonist Jean-Luc Guionnet and expat Aussies Clayton Thomas (bass) and Will Guthrie (drums). The explanation of the name they've chosen for themselves might lie in the inverted commas Guionnet places strategically around the word "jazz" in the discography on his website - though technically I can think of very few saxophonists in the world today who can hold a candle to him (Frank Gratkowski and Marco Eneidi come to mind), Jean-Luc Guionnet has always, as it were, held jazz at arm's length, as if afraid that his other musical activities as a lowercase improviser, sound artist, organist and composer (not to mention writer and painter - we're talkin' renaissance man here) might be somehow tainted if he were considered to be "just another firebreather" (ten years on, he's still unhappy about the name of the quartet he plays in with me, Return Of The New Thing). But whether you choose to listen to your free jazz in quotation marks or not, make no mistake: his blowing on In is truly spectacular, hounding his motivic material down with the persistence of a Terminator and blasting it to shit once he traps it in the corner of the Ames Room. That shouldn't in any way minimise the contributions of his sparring partners either - it's a treat to hear Guthrie playing on a kit instead of his habitual electronic percussion rig (fans of his EAI stuff should also know that he's also a huge fan of free jazz, and came perilously close to interviewing Roscoe Mitchell for this magazine a couple of years ago... What a shame that didn't come to pass), and Thomas gives the music plenty of well-aimed kicks to the low end. To what extent you might want to consider this music as free jazz or not, and if so, where you want to put it in the "canon", depends on you: I'm frankly not interested in these pigeonholes very much any more - I don't care what you want to call this music, but music it most definitely is, and damn good music too."

Oh yay. Lee fouled out. We need a miracle or we're going to lose in OT.
Tim Duncan
Kevin Garnett
**** not lee!! fcuk nothings ever easy
Oh yay. Lee fouled out. We need a miracle or we're going to lose in OT.
they cant afford to lose this game now. they got it in the bag..again.
Harrington is a waste of space. Bad shot by Nate, should have gotten something going to the basket.
It looks like we got ourselves a win over one of the elite teams in the Western conference...and it looks like Toons is one of the few that think Garnett is better then Duncan
Good win! I didn't trust this team to finish the game until there was zero on the clock lol. Nate played insane tonight. 30 points, 10 rebounds, 13-23 FG and 4-8 3pt. FG.
and nate only had 1 turnover...hes unstoppable when his shot is on.
Damn....Imagine if we hadn't blown the game versus the Spurs earlier this year...We'd be 2-0 on them...
yes! Good win, finally this losing streak is over. Oh and by the way, I think Kevin Garnett is better than duncan

Immune Cells in Mice That Fight HIV Created
Immune Cells in Mice That Fight HIV Created – Scientists have been able to create immune cells in mice that are able to fight off HIV. The new lead in gene therapy is a huge step against the virus that causes AIDS. The research was conducted on a number of human stem cells. They tinkered with the stem cells and then inserted them into mice. They multiplied into immune system cells that added protection against infection with HIV. The study was released on July 2 in Nature Biotechnology.
The research is groundbreaking, and nothing like it has ever been seen before. The mice have been "humanized" in the testing; meaning that they have human immune systems and have resisted a disease that normally affects humans.
While the research is promising, it means very little until they see similar results in human testing. Often times there are slight differences between the findings of tests on mice, and the findings of tests on humans. There is currently no way to predict whether or not the treatment will even be suitable for humans.
In gene therapy, doctors attempt to convince the human body to behave differently by tweaking the genetic structure of the individual. In order to fight HIV, doctors have attempted to boost immune system cells in order to fight off the disease.
The receptor to the disease, known as CCR5, is disabled in a very small percentage of people worldwide. By turning off the receptor, scientists believe that they will have found a way to make people immune to the HIV virus. The hope is that through gene therapy, they will be able to reach this goal in the near future.
