BRUNSWICK — There were more than 1,000 reasons why Friday was a great night for the Brunswick boys basketball team.
Senior guard Ryan Badowski became the 26th documented boys player in Medina County history to top 1,000 points as the Blue Devils upset defending Division I state champion Mentor 59-56 in Northeast Ohio Conference Valley Division action.
"This is a big win for our season," the Longwood University signee said. "If we know we can beat the previous state champion, we know we can beat anybody. This was huge."
Badowski, who finished with 18 points and now has 1,007 for his career, got his 1,000th and 1,001st points on a strong drive to the hoop with 6.5 seconds left in the first half. He added a free throw for a three-point play, capping a remarkable 20-0 Brunswick run over the final 5:43 of the second quarter.
"It means so much more when you beat a team like Mentor and play well and do it at home," Blue Devils coach Joe Mackey said of Badowski's milestone. "He's lived up to expectations, and that's hard to do.
"He's got a lot of responsibility with this team. We need him to do a little of everything, and he did it tonight."
A four-year varsity starter, the 6-foot-5 Badowski also had six rebounds and three assists against the Cardinals (3-4, 0-2), but he didn't do it alone.
The Blue Devils (7-3, 2-1) got 15 points from small forward Zach Parker, eight points and five rebounds from power forward Eric Bulic and four points, five boards and three assists from point guard Jason Okulovich.
By far the more aggressive team for the final 2½ quarters, Brunswick also went 22-for-27 from the line compared to chuck-and-duck Mentor's 5-for-8.
"Free throws are big," said Badowski, who uncharacteristically missed three in the final period but still went 7-for-10 for the game. "We came out on top tonight because we hit our free throws."
As important as any of Brunswick's offensive numbers was its defense.
The Blue Devils were down 31-20 after University of Cincinnati football recruit Conner Krizancic (18 points) hit a 3-pointer with 5:43 left in the first half, but it was right around that time that Mackey decided to switch from man-to-man to a 2-3 matchup zone.
The Cardinals missed their last 12 shots of the first half, while Brunswick made frequent trips to the line and cashed in — the Blue Devils were 10-for-11 in the second quarter — to jump-start its game-changing run.
Once the free throws started going, so did a few 3-pointers, as Parker made two and Badowski added another in a 25-point second quarter that put Brunswick up 40-31 at intermission.
"We knew they could shoot threes and go to the hole," Badowski said. "We had to switch it up to confuse them."
The Cardinals, who at the moment are a far cry from the team that won a state title last season, looked like they had never seen a 2-3 matchup. They scored just 25 points over the final 21:43 and finished the night 9-for-35 from beyond the arc, including 3-for-18 in the second half.
"They were getting anything they wanted against our man," Mackey said. "A lot of people say that when you play a 3-point shooting team with a 2-3, it doesn't make any sense, but it threw their timing off.
"Our guys stepped up and made a few shots and we got our confidence back. I thought our defense in the second quarter was phenomenal."
The Blue Devils never trailed in the second half, but the game was in doubt until the closing moments, as Mentor got within two when West Virginia baseball recruit Caleb Potter (10 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists) hit a 3-pointer with 53.8 seconds left.
Brunswick's Steve Ficyk missed the front end of a one-and-one with 19.8 seconds to go, but Badowski snuck behind 6-7 Louisville baseball recruit Kade McClure (17 points, 8 rebounds), who brought the rebound down low, and got a key steal before being fouled with 17.6 seconds remaining.
Badowski made both shots of the double bonus to put the Blue Devils up 58-54 and Potter missed a 3-pointer. A jump ball was called with 6.9 seconds left, with the possession arrow pointing Brunswick's way.
Badowski split a pair of free throws with 5.6 ticks on the clock before McClure hit a meaningless bucket at the buzzer, giving the Blue Devils 1,000-plus reasons to celebrate.
"It hasn't been a real smooth ride early in the season," Mackey said. "This was a big one."
Brunswick lost the junior varsity game 54-48 despite 12 points from Patrick Magalski and 11 from Kendall Lewis.

Six facts to fight your fear of fat
Thursday, November 28, 2013
"There's been a huge effort by health experts to reform our food supply and eating habits in light of the 'fat phobia' - a belief dietary fat is linked to chronic disease. But 50 years on, we're fatter, sicker and more poorly nourished.
The public's fear of fat is slowly melting away. However, it seems like most of the information is falling on deaf ears in the nutrition and public health community. Whether it's scepticism about drastically changing nutrition, or fear that what we've spent years telling the public may not be the complete story, the evidence that has re-emerged can't be ignored.
By no means are high-fat/low-carb diets the only answer to chronic diseases like obesity, coronary heart disease, stroke and diabetes. After all, humans have adapted to thrive on many diets - including the opposing high-carb/low-fat diet. What we haven't adapted to is the Western diet - rich in refined grains, low on fruit and veg, made in factories and eaten on the run."

Since the new year, as it happens every year, there are a whole bunch of stories coming out about new diets to "help" people with their new year's resolutions. I am always astounded at how the same old dietary information seems to stick around and how much resistance there is (by food industry lobbyists, maybe?) to change, even when we can see the past 60 years or so of the SAD diet has only made us fatter and sicker. Nobody needed to run marathons or do crossfit 60 years ago to stay slim....so what has changed? An ever-increasing supply of GMO processed foods, maybe? All that sugar added to our "fat-free" foods to make it taste better?
I've been wheat free (thanks to celiac disease) for over a decade, and completely grain free for 4 months after starting a paleo challenge at my crossfit gym. I love eating this way and feel mentally and physically healthier than I have in years. I ALWAYS go way over my "allowable" fat grams based on the food and nutrient tracker - and yet in the past several months I've gotten into just about the best shape of my life. It's weird how "unhealthy" the paleo diet (and other low-carb diets) is considered, when there is so much research on how bad sugars, simple carbs, and processed foods are for people to eat.
Good luck to you in the New Year! keep up the great work!

The low fat high carb guideline is a total disaster. I unfortunately followed a large chunk of it. For the first time in decades, I've just saved chicken fat for my stir fried application. Animal fats are the best for high temp application that I need. Even a UC professor admitted that study that implicated saturated fat as the bad guy was flawed.
I'm saving all my animal fats that came out during cooking to be re-used. I'll always look for full fat yogurt and increase my use of saturated fats. I'll always eat protein with fat. I don't use PUFA to begin with. So at least I did one thing right.

I agree with you on that! The low calorie/low or no fat diets have not done anything but messed up our systems and it does take the medical profession years to catch up to the info and by then they are out of date again. Or out of touch with reality?

We have certainly been led down the proverbial garden path about fats. The more research I do, the more disgusted I become.
Fats are a good and healthy part of our rounded nutrition. "Fake fats" belong nowhere in that environment. The current recommendations against fats are based upon research which failed to separate trans-fats from saturated fats in the trials. Thus, the warnings are accurate for those trans fats... not so much for saturated. But industry and habit won't allow us the truth in the matter. How many billions are tied up in low-fat / reduced-fat / no-fat commercialism? I can't see them relinquishing their hold on us there.
Thanks for the link.
I hope it will help those who aren't digging for info otherwise!

"Paul Williams Impresses In Shutout Victory Over Ishida."
That was a headline of one of the leading papers in the U.S. the morning after Paul Williams' 41-2 (27) 12-round unanimous decision victory over Nobuhiro Ishiba 24-7-2 (9) this past Saturday night. However, Williams didn't dominate the way the scoring would lead one to believe if they hadn't seen the fight.
Williams won at least 11 of the 12 rounds, on that there can be no doubt. But Ishida was not only in every round, he scored plenty himself and Williams didn't leave the ring unmarked. The scores of 120-108 on all three judges cards clearly indicate points domination, but Ishida wasn't outclassed or outworked. It was more a question of Williams being more aggressive, initiating the exchanges, and landing the harder punches. So he'd win every round, but never dominate.
What I saw this past weekend in Paul Williams is a fighter who's slowly but surely throwing his career away. And if he continues to do so it'll be one of the rare instances where a world class championship fighter the likes of Williams didn't reach his potential that wasn't due to an overindulgence in drugs, booze or women. That's a rarity in boxing, regardless of the era or generation in question.
Williams was the same fighter against Ishida that he's been for the past two and a half years. He's fortunate that Ishida is predictable, slow and unimaginative offensively. And even at that, Paul took more punches than he should've. Actually, Williams gets hit with virtually everything and isn't that big of a puncher to make every fight a war. Other than him initiating the exchanges, he didn't really separate himself all that much from the fringe contender Ishida.
Paul continues to fight small and often leans in and pulls out unprotected. As it was stated here prior to the fight, these are correctable flaws and basics. Then again, only if the fighter cares to do so. Which based on Williams' post fight comments, that doesn't seem to be the case. And that's unfortunate because he's capable of beating every fighter in boxing weighing between 147-160, including those with the last names Martinez, Mayweather and Pacquiao.
As everyone can see Paul Williams is a gifted and talented fighter. He has a great work ethic, loves to fight and isn't afraid to work. His conditioning is spectacular and he's fearless. This is a guy who suffered what could've been a career ending knockout at the hands of Sergio Martinez in their rematch, yet hasn't fought glove shy since. Paul shook the KO loss to Martinez off as if it never happened and fights without the least bit of trepidation. That says a lot about his constitution, but maybe in his case that's a detriment because he hasn't learned from getting caught so cleanly and stopped.
It's hard to envision Williams being around that much longer if he doesn't abandon his stubbornness and inability to learn some of boxing's simpler principles that can make all the difference in the world. His size, conditioning and toughness will take him far, just not as far as he should eventually end up going.
I beg to differ with the author. I thought Williams has made some subtle changes though he would be hard pressed to admit that much. He started out moving his head much more than he usually does and you could see him really trying to fight "tall". I think Williams could really become a hybrid of a Tommy Hearns and Lennox Lewis if he chose to. You would think that with that wingspan he would be a devastating puncher. Maybe a change in trainers is called for ?
Good piece! I agree with most of what u said.. another problem I think he has is he's too eager to throw punches even when a guy is not in range he will throw punches and thats why he reaches so much....He need to slow down and let the fight come to him some if he did I think he would be a much better fighter.
WOW! One can think. We all can. Long Tall Paul stinks. The subtle changes that would serve him is to wake up to reality. He ain't and never will be, IMHO, among the best. I can think of 10 pugilists off the top of my head that would kick his butt, easily.
Dude has always been overhyped. Now everybodeee and dey momma, who can fight just a bit, have a kayo address to his long-arse chin. Holla!
Paul and been throwing punching in bunches for a long time. When he gets someone in there who will trade with him and throw bunches he gets frustrated and tries to throw more. Paul has seems to go through the motions now and seems unrealistic about what he can do. He is a volume puncher and he has no one punch power. He may prove me wrong but he will get knocked out again against another elite boxer if he steps up. He has been fading away.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

The show goes on in Vegas and so our coverage of our new Home Defense products continues here on the Safe Zone. Yesterday we talked about the Home Defense Center. Today we are going to take a closer look at the Quick Access Pistol Safe.
We are not the first to create a pistol safe, there many on the market. But we looked carefully at our distinguished competition and listened to hand gun owners from across the country and have developed a very compelling new product.
Our Quick Access Pistol Safe integrates in the zero feedback electronic lock technology from the Home Defense Center. It creates quick, quiet access into the safe. Once the code is punched in the compression gas strut quietly opens the door for you. It allows for one-handed access even in a confined space like a nightstand drawer.
The Quick Access Pistol Safe is made of a heavy-gauge steel and has a patent pending Pry Resistant door design. It can also be bolted down.
This is another great addition to our product line that offers quick, quiet access when you need it and a piece of mind that your hand gun is secure when you don't. This new model was designed, engineered and will be manufactured in Rochester NY. Look for it in early summer.
Be Safe.

I've just been given membership to an online research site that you might want to join, too. It's called Forgotten Books, an online warehouse of over a million books dating back to the 1500s, and all the way up to the 1940s, all image-over-text editions, fully searchable and readable and downloadable in numerous formats. It's not free, but it is affordable, and superior to Google Books in several respects.
I was given a free lifetime membership if I blogged about the site (no matter what I said, good or bad). But that benefit wouldn't be worth anything if the site wasn't worth using. And it definitely is of some use. And that's worth knowing about. It has some defects that need fixing (and its management is working on those). But it has uses as well. I'll summarize my thoughts on both counts.
The Basic Plus Side
Its million-plus books going all the way back to the 1500s are browsable and searchable, images and all. Continuing membership is very affordable. And with it not only can you skim and read countless old books, you can also run searches on them, and build statistical charts with the results–similar to text analyzing features I taught and used back at Columbia University when I worked for the Digital Texts Service at the campus library, where I helped numerous researchers compile their own digital texts, search routines, and statistics. And now anyone can do it, online, for cheap. They've already compiled the search indexes, so building searches and statistics do not have the long processing delays you would have doing this in the raw (for more on how they built their indexes, and their limitations and capabilities, see here). You can also search for images in these books (of which there must be millions).
You pay the site not only for the tools and services they provide, but also visual builds. Although the text of these books is public domain, the editions, reconstruction, formatting, and presentation are proprietary (e.g. the images are their reproductions, so they still have photography rights). So if you wanted to reuse images or page views, beyond fair use, you would still need to negotiate permissions through them. Otherwise…
You can grab and read texts as PDFs, kindle, and any number of other versions. If you use the online book reader at the site, it has a bookmarks and notes function, much like a kindle. Dedicated mobile apps for the site are also in development. The number of books you can read or download per month is limited by the level of membership you subscribe to, but you can preview a large portion of every book without limit. And all the other features are unlimited use. They also sell paperback editions of most (and soon all) of their books–if you want to have a hard copy.
You can see along the left margin at the site the many categories of books they have. I was most intrigued by their massive collection of esoteric titles: afterlife and immortality, alchemy, astrology, ciphers and codes, ESP and psychic phenomena, freemasonry and secret societies, magic and witchcraft, theosophy, unexplained phenomena. Thousands of titles. Think of the kinds of data (as well as entertainment) you can reap from a collection like that.
The research ability in early American history is profound as well, so studying what people really were saying around the American Revolution or the Civil War is right there for you to search through. Other interesting subjects include books in philosophy, religion, ancient history, early science, languages (including dictionaries from other centuries, valuable for studying words as they have changed meaning; and books in languages other than English, including Spanish, Latin, Italian, French, and German), as well as fiction, and more. They also have a collection of administrative records (genealogy data, audits and surveys, minutes and reports).
You can start learning all about the Forgotten Books service and what you can do with it here.
Experimenting and Limitations
The service offers as examples of what you can do with it:
With this valuable research information, we can tell you virtually anything about anything, from the most commonly used word in fiction books published in 1765, to the book with the most images of cats in the first 20 pages. Or perhaps some more useful information, such as a list of every word in the English language in order of usage frequency.
Experts with this kind of textual analytics will want to know how clean their OCR was. So I asked. They estimate that on average they might have about a 2% error rate, and that agrees with what I saw (some items, e.g. organizational minutes, are worse than others, e.g. commercially printed novels). But they actually know where most of the errors are (every failure to match their master word list is flagged) and are continually working to clean them up (so the database will continue to get more accurate over time). And because the books are presented as image-over-text, those errors will only matter for searches and analytics, not for reading the text, since you can simply see the page as it was scanned, regardless of whether the OCR got the text right.
In our correspondence about this, the creator of the site informed me that in other OCR projects like Google Books…
Older books have more OCR errors, therefore the frequency of all words will be skewed, showing for every word that its frequency increases over time. [But w]hat is really increasing is the quality of the text. Forgotten Books' word data does not have this fundamental flaw because non-dictionary words were excluded from the calculations in order to correct for this error.
Their ongoing project to manually improve the text will improve statistical results even further.
To test the site out I decided to experiment.
I went into "administrative records > minutes and reports" and found 6344 titles there. There is an "about" page explaining what kind of works are in that category, and I can list titles alphabetically or by popularity or relevance–but not yet by date of publication. Although that feature is definitely on the way. Its absence is a significant limitation to a historian, but they assure me it won't be absent for long. Word searches, however, can be limited to specific dates or date ranges, but many of the texts have not been date-coded properly, and so right now you will get dirty search results by date–for example, sometimes a book from 1977 will end up in your "before 1830" filtered search list. I'm assured they are fixing this as well, with manual verification and correction of every title and date (it's a top priority), so searches will get cleaner over time.
Two search features worthy of additional note are that the default "book" search (i.e. without using the drop-down menu to search a specific data field like "title") combines the results of title, author and most 100 common words in the book (excluding stopwords and matching plurals). A convenient feature. Meanwhile, the drop-down menu allows other options such as the "page search," which allows you to search every page in every book in the library at once. For example, here are the results for the phrase "black magic" (I apologize if that doesn't load for non-subscribers).
In the "about" page for the category I chose to experiment with we learn interesting things like this:
The Woman's Committee, United States Council of National Defence: An Interpretative Report by Emily Newell Blair is particularly interesting. This is a report on the First World War (1914-1918) and is particularly notable because the author, Emily Newell Blair, was a renowned feminist and suffragist, providing a feminine and very different perspective from all the male dominated governance of the time. She was also a fantastic writer in her own right and this free ebook of her report should be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in the history of this war a century ago.
And that's just one gem among thousands to find here.
But when I went exploring in the six thousand entries in this category I found some limitations in the navigation. If you know what you are looking for, it's easy to find (using the general search functions rather than the category browsing). But if you want to peruse or narrow entries within a category, it's a bit awkward. They are aware of these issues, and improvements are on the way. But current users should be aware of this. Searches can be run by words in the title, but that doesn't help when you want to make sure you are searching every book in a specific subject. Right now there is only category browsing, and no category search filter. But that should be an easy feature to add, and they've told me they are working on it.
I picked at random from the first few entries of the six thousand or so Minutes 1851 by Reformed Church In America Particular Synod Of New York and noted that the description section is very dirty OCR (but there is a warning note saying to expect that). For example, it begins "Five copies of the Minutee of the last sesfiion of the Partaculftr Synod ef Jklbany were received and laid on the table. Article VL Corrrspondbnck. Nothing oceurred. Article VII. Classical Rkports." So you can see the character recognition wasn't doing too well there. But when I went to read the minutes, of course, it becomes all image-over-text so I had little difficulty. But you can see how searching the text will be of limited reliability if the underlying hypertext is as dirty as the description paragraph.
In this case that dirtiness is to be expected, since, being the published minutes of such a long time ago, the inking of the type is a bit poor for modern scanners to handle, although the human eye does fine. You will get cleaner OCR from commercially printed books, even from the same period.
But back to my test. The minutes I browsed contain tables of data, as well as plain news items and interesting remarks, so you can imagine the wealth of historical and cultural information you could dig up here or glean in general. For example, these minutes contained a complete breakdown of all the churches and pastors and schools under that synod (many dozens), a census of members and students for each, cash receipts and outlays, and more. Plus church trials and rulings and appeals regarding the dismissal of pastors and accusations against them. And more.
I then went into the "afterlife and immortality" section and found 180 titles there. I picked one early on, The Astral Plane: Its Scenery, Inhabitants, and Phenomena by C. W. Leadbeater, published in 1900. I found it full of confident descriptions of the astral plane and its contents (by a theosophist, of course). Tons of cultural assumptions to explore and marvel at in there. Likewise interesting alternative religious ideas. And so on. Did you know there are really seven astral planes, each higher than the next? Hence we're told we must not call the astral plane the fourth dimension. That would be an error. Indeed.
I then went into "philosophy -> metaphysics" and found Philosophy: What Is It? by F. B. Jevons, published in 1914, which is interestingly described as (sic):
One of the branches of the Workers Educational Association expressed a desire to know what Philosophy is; thereby assuming that Philosophy is a concern of the average man and of practical life, and should not be the monopoly of the professed student. Of the truth of this j.view there can be no doubt, and this book consists of the five lectures which, were given by way of an attempt, not so much to answer their question as to bring out the meaning of the question. Hence the interrogative form of the title PhUosophy: what is it? The attempt was necessarily made, in the discussion of the question, to avoid technical terms as far as possible. Without technical terms it is impossible, it may be said, to go very far in the discussion.
Notice the cleaner OCR here (as compared with the minutes before).
Overall Forgotten Books is superior to Google Books (which faces similar defects anyway). The ways you can employ it, the size of the collection, the variety of ways you can read books downloaded or viewed from it, the ability to bookmark and annotate, and the commitment to improve even what flaws it has over time (which I expect will go more rapidly the more subscribers they get), all combine with its relative affordability to make this a site at least worth taking a look at.

Sonja Morgan has her ups and downs with her "The Real Housewives of New York City" co-star Ramona Singer but she'll never become her enemy. As reported by RumorFix on Sunday, March 9, Sonja said that she'll always be Ramona's friend and be there for her.
"Ramona and I are like sisters. We're always going to be friends. We have our ups and downs like sisters do. Sometimes I wanna kill her, but I'll always love her," she told the website.
Sonja said that she texts Ramona, who filed for divorce from Mario Singer in February, all the time right now to help her get through her difficult time.
"She's my sister and if she needs me, I'm here. Nobody knows Ramona like I do. Nobody understands her like I do," Sonja added.
Sonja may now be helping Ramona decide whether she truly wants to finalize her divorce. In her interview with Bethenny Frankel, Ramona confessed that she and Mario still both love each other and that "nothing is written in stone," hinting that she's open to a reconciliation in the future.

A devastating loss is one of the most highly stressful emotions we experience. For those of us who have experienced several losses in a short period of time, death almost begins to have a "numbing" effect. If you're new to this life situation, it is challenging and takes a great deal of time to heal.
One of the most important first steps to take is to ensure that you have a strong support system in place. If that means friends, family, church family, co-workers, etc., then you are in good hands. If you have few or none of the aforementioned, it is important to put mental safeguards in place to hoist you up when lowliness comes calling. If you don't have a family of your own, get involved in a church family. Faith is very important when considering aspects of life such as death and eternal existence. Usually, churches are well-equipped to deal with grief and loss and are able to offer support and direction to the next stages of life.
Another important aspect to be considered is the financial piece of your life. Often times, if a spouse passes away unexpectedly, there are financial matters that should be addressed immediately. There again, a strong support system has to be in place to keep the vultures away. One tends to have more friends and relatives, suddenly, than ever before when a death has occurred and the surviving party is left with a healthy sum of money. Speaking from experience, it is important to put a good portion of money away (that is not touchable) for safe keeping. Grief does strange things to people. If you are hit too hard by a loss (or several, in my case), there is the tendency to lose track of money. There is also the tendency to throw caution to the wind about mortality, and in those cases, it is easy for any and everyone to usurp large amounts of money from the grieving widow, sister, mother, daughter, etc. Yes, people are that uncaring.
If your spouse has just passed away, give yourself time to grieve and mourn properly. Jumping into another relationship too soon may have devastating effects in the short and long term. Beware of potential "love matches" who are broke and need more help than you should be expected to give. That person could seem genuine, but anyone who tries to fill space in a grieving person's heart too quickly usually has self-serving intentions. Avoid starting a cycle of supporting someone who latches on shortly after a loved one passes away (especially if there is a large sum of money involved). It's more advantageous to be okay and solitary with thoughts that must fully process; that's extremely personal.
Give yourself time to mourn and then seek counseling, simply to have someone objective to confide in. The love and support of those who know you is good, but having someone to confide in that suffers no gain or loss by your true thoughts is valuable through the grieving process.
Finally, if you have received money from an insurance settlement or other, take a sabbatical. Even if your time away is only two weeks, take some time away from familiarity to connect to the world around you in ways you've never before considered. If you have children, enlist the assistance of family members and friends to pitch in and watch over them. Refresh and regroup and be fiercely guarded over aspects of life such as your privacy, your money and your sanity.

You may have read of the "Law Firm of Reutimann, Overstreet, andKennedy" in "Fast Floridians" (Dec. '04 SCR) where the Craftsman TruckSeries team of David Reutimann was profiled. Now there's a juniorpartner--Mike Faulk--with the ever-present Buzzie Reutimann.
Faulk, 22, was Rookie of the Year and winner of two races in the 2003Florida Pro Late Model Series. Then, in 2004 he went to the NASCAR KodakElite Southeast Series with the double-zero Pennzoil car of WakelyMotorsports where David Reutimann's dad, Buzzie, called the shots. ButFaulk experienced some rough times, as racers often do.
Faulk is moving to Michael Burton's MB3 Motorsports and the HootersProCup Series where he will compete for Rookie of the Year in 2005.Buzzie and Faulk's dad, Lee, will still be involved, the former ascrewchief.
Yes, 2004 was a learning experience, but let Faulk tell it:
"I appreciate the opportunity given to me by Michael Wakely, Pennzoil,and the Wakely Motorsports team. Unfortunately, 2004 has not been whatwe hoped for. Our motor program let us down in several races, and weweren't able to recover.
"Running in the NASCAR Kodak Southeast Elite Touring Division has been agreat learning experience, and we were competitive in all other aspects,but six DNFs due to engine failures kept us out of the points race, andthat's not acceptable for us. We felt we were close to a couple of winsand the car was capable of several Top 5s, but we weren't able to keepthe motor together to seal the deal.
"After talking to my dad and Buzzie about the offer from MB3 MotorSportsand determining Michael Burton's commitment to winning, we felt it wasbest for us to make the move over to the Hooters ProCup Series and tocompete for the 2005 Rookie of the Year."
The Details
More on that and his No. 53 car in a minute. First, about Faulk. Just ashe vowed last season, his goals are still to graduate from theUniversity of Florida in public relations, hopefully after two moresemesters, and to move up in his racing career.
To lighten his load, he sold the lawn care business which he'd startedin his Gainesville, Florida, hometown.

As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on May 16, 2013
S. 659 would extend the authority of the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Bureau of Reclamation, to assist states, tribes, and local governments with conservation, management, and construction activities to mitigate the effects of drought. For the 2005-2012 period, $90 million was authorized to be appropriated for this program. The Congress appropriated about $75 million before the authority expired in 2012. S. 659 would extend the authority to appropriate funds through 2018. CBO assumes that the remaining $15 million would be appropriated in equal amounts over the next five years.
Based on information from the Bureau of Reclamation, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would cost $14 million over the 2014-2018 period. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues.
S. 659 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.

In short
The proposal of a FIT CfD regime in the market reform White Paper gave rise to the immediate concern of how the existing system under the Renewables Obligation (RO) will interact with the new payment regimes, with the Government and industry both concerned to ensure that there is no hiatus created through uncertainty in how the RO will be phased out in the period after 2017 when FIT CfD becomes the only choice for renewable generation. The Energy Bill (at Clause 35) sets out some of the arrangements to enact the White Paper and the Technical Update issued in December 2011 for the RO Transition regime.
Technical Update
It is hard to consider the Energy Bill without bearing in mind the Technical Update. Under the terms of the Technical Update, there is coverage of both a Transition Period (2014 – 31 March 2017) and a Vintage Period (1st April 2017-31st March 2037).
New renewable generators will have a one-off choice between the RO and the new FIT CfD, with RO accredited generators who add additional capacity that is greater than 5 MW having a one-off choice of mechanism (FIT CfD or the RO) for the additional capacity (the original accredited capacity will continue to be supported by the RO). Existing RO accredited generation will continue to be supported under the RO and will not be permitted to transfer to the FIT CfD scheme. Specific proposals were also made in respect of Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation contracts. During the transition period, the level of obligation under the RO will continue to be calculated annually on the same basis as it is presently.
There will be some limited grace periods for generation that was due to be accredited on or before 31 March 2017 but has been delayed by factors beyond the generator's control. Such events may include delay in grid connection instigated by the transmission or distribution operator or delay in the planned installation of radar necessary to satisfy planning conditions for wind generation projects.
Only projects receiving RO support by 1 April 2017 will continue to do so, subject to the maximum 20 years support and the 2037 end date. The RO will not be extended beyond 2037.
From 1st April 2017, it is expected that Ofgem will issue ROCs to generators in the usual way. ROCs issued by Ofgem may be sold and purchased between 1st April 2017 and 2027 in the same way as now. For the final ten years of the ROC regime (2027 – 2037), a Fixed ROC Institution will purchase the ROCs from generators at a set price based on headroom plus 10% (which will be inflation linked over the ten-year phase and the 2027 base price will be the 2027 buy-out price plus 10%). The Fixed ROC Institution will recoup the cost (subject to certain adjustments) through a quarterly levy on suppliers (with the rate of the levy set annually by the Government). The cost will be spread between suppliers in accordance with their market share. All technologies grandfathered in 2017 will remain grandfathered.
A major advantage for generators of there being a Government backed institution which is compelled to pay a set price for ROCs is that the risk of a ROC price crash in the twilight years of the scheme is removed. This chosen model ought to therefore promote greater financial certainty amongst investors and developers who are looking at the period from 2027-2037 for existing or pipelined ROC-supported projects.
Energy Bill 2012
The Energy Bill introduces enabling drafting for the mechanism set out in the Technical Update. The mechanic anticipates that OFGEM or the newly-created body purchasing agency is issued with a Certificate Purchase Order by the Secretary of State, obliging OFGEM/purchasing agency to purchase ROCs for a fixed price (which can vary for indexation and by different values for different periods of time). The mechanics for the payments and other important elements are left to the details of the purchase order issued by the Secretary of State, with only the Technical Update giving colour to the anticipated mechanics.
At present, the enabling legislation is very broad - there will need to be confidence that the Government's stated policy approach in the Technical Update is not diluted. Precise provisions for the purchase price of ROCs in the period after 2017 may be required to give the certainty that funders and investors will need, notwithstanding that DECC had already recognised that it did not expect to provide this detail in the Energy Bill.
Impact on Investors, Funders and Suppliers
The Energy Bill itself has done little to advance the knowledge of the Transitional Arrangements. The lack of certainty created by a reliance on technical proposals rather than legislative provisions may deter investors and funders from bringing forward proposals, yet this is precisely what Government is seeking to avoid. There also remains the risk that the proposals trigger change in law mechanics in existing PPA arrangements.

It's been a long time since we worked with such a laid back bride and groom. He would've been happy eloping but she (as all brides do) really wanted the big party. Both were okay with "whatever happens, happens." We then made our way out to the Redlands to Longan's Place. It was a beautiful Miami afternoon despite all the rain leading up to the big day. The white limo rounded the corner holding our beautiful bride and it was nothing but amazing moments we captured right down to the ring bearer break dancing and shots all around the room. Even our groom said he'd do it all again! It was the perfect wedding with one of the best parties and definitely a GREAT couple. Congratulations Deylin and Armando! We wish you a lifetime of love, happiness and little ones for us to photograph!

NSF TeraGrid Helps Hayden Planetarium
The NSF has created some new visuals for the Hayden Planetarium, a fantastic 3d simulation and visualization of the sun made using VAPOR.
Toomre's doctoral student Benjamin Brown used VAPOR (Visualization and Analysis Platform for Ocean, Atmosphere, and Solar Researchers), a tool developed by NCAR in collaboration with the University of California, Davis, and Ohio State University, to generate visualizations of the Sun and to create image sequences for the movie.
You can see "Journey to the Stars", the 25-minute journey through the universe, on the 87-foot seven-megapixel dome of the Rose Center for Earth & Space in New York City.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The University of Alabama is named one of the top 50 public universities in the nation in the newly-released U.S. News & World Report rankings for 2002.
The magazine cited UA's 83 percent freshman retention rate among the statistics used in compiling the rankings. From 1993-1999 UA's first-year retention rate improved by almost 5 percent.
Also, UA's Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration was, once again, ranked in the top 50 of all undergraduate business programs, both public and private, joining four other Southeastern Conference schools.
In the magazine's ranking of all doctoral universities, public and private, UA was one of two universities in the state ranked in the second tier of the nation's top universities. The second tier includes those universities ranked just below the top 50. According to the magazine's web site, there are 249 universities in the country offering a wide range of undergraduate majors as well as master's and doctoral degrees.
Other universities in the second tier include such schools as the universities of Florida, Georgia, Colorado, and Connecticut as well as Auburn, Ohio State, Purdue, and Florida State.
Last spring in U.S. News' rankings of graduate schools, UA's School of Law was ranked 46th in the nation, making the list of top 50 law schools for the third consecutive year.
In recent years, UA has been named one of America's top 100 values in public higher education in a study by Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine and has been listed in numerous national publications citing its quality and value including Barron's "300 Best Buys in College Education," and America's 100 Best College Buys" published by John Culler & Sons.
The University of Alabama, a student-centered research university, is experiencing significant growth in both enrollment and academic quality. This growth, which is positively impacting the campus and the state's economy, is in keeping with UA's vision to be the university of choice for the best and brightest students. UA, the state's flagship university, is an academic community united in its commitment to enhancing the quality of life for all Alabamians.

Leaving 1 year old for a week with grandparents, good or bad idea?
Our daughter will turn 1 in August, and we have been invited to a friend's wedding in Italy (we are in the US), so we would need about 7-9 days. We normally take her with us on travels, but it's too much of a long travel flight time for her as she hasn't been on a plane yet, so bringing her is out of the question. We did want to go on a vacation just us two after her 1 year so it kind of works out perfectly. But, I'm afraid now that the time is come that she is too young, and that it will be too hard on her (and me), and I feel a tiny bit guilty leaving her. We could really use a vacation to relax and reconnect. My mother (her grandmother) is her caretaker during the week because we both work full time, so they are very comfortable with one another and I trust her completely. Has anyone traveled that long without your baby, how did it turn out?
Grandparents hate us, want to continue loving baby. Now what?
My husband's parents are the only grandparents my child see regularly (we live in his country rather than mine) have decided that they no longer want a relationship with us. They do, however, want to continue their bi-weekly visits to see the baby which I would be "hosting". We don't want to cut them off, but I am not enthused. Reassurance and tips on navigating this requested. I am so confused!! [more inside]
But Grandma, a lot has happened in the last 40 years...
Can you help me improve my relationship with my grandparents? They recently moved across the country to be closer to family (my parents, my sister and me + husband). We've grown apart since I transitioned from child to adult (which I think is fairly normal) and I was looking forward to having them in the same city to get closer again. This is turning out to be more difficult than originally premised. Special snowflake details within. [more inside]

This dress is absolutely beautiful! **I'm adding my blusher and cathedral length swarovski crystals veil for FREE with this dress.**
The dress would need to be cleaned ( I didn't dance in this dress… I just walked around a hardwood floor). So, therefore, the underskirt is a little dirty but the dress itself is clean and in GREAT condition! There is a slight tear on the tulle underskirt, underneath the gown. However, you can not tell, and it doesn't alter the gown in any way (You wouldn't even have known it, if I hadn't disclosed it…that's how unoticable it is… but, I like to be honest and ethical). I only wore this dress once. Trust me, for the price and for the freebies this gown will fulfill your dreams!!
This is a size 10 Maggie Sottero Wedding Gown, Off-White (Ivory) in color (style name: Anniston) with a corset back. I still get complimented on how beautiful I looked in this gown.

George Takei can now knock something off of his bucket list. According to a column written by the actor/comedian/ gay rights advocate/social media star on Huffington Post dated April 1, Takei will finally be hosting "Saturday Night Live."
Takei stated he's waited years to say, "Live From New York, it's Saturday Night"! After a fan campaign got Betty White a coveted host spot on the late night show, Takei's fans took up the cause to get their guy on. He wasn't sure he wanted to do it at first, but his fans kept up the pressure.
Nothing much ever came of it until last week when Brad, Takei's husband and "unofficial scheduler," got a call. "George has to do this," they insisted. "He's a natural fit."
Takei asked the question a lot of folks might ask. Why now? The show's answer was simple.
You're more than just Sulu from "Star Trek" these days," they explained. "You've got millions of followers on Facebook and Twitter. You've got not one but two books out. You're appearing in a Broadway show" -- meaning "Allegiance," inspired by my childhood experience in U.S. Internment camps -- "and now you've even launched your own fragrance. People with a lot less going on have been on."
Faced with that response and the love of his huge fan base, Takei couldn't say no.
There is no date yet for George Takei's hosting spot on "Saturday Night Live." Takei further notes, though, that he will be only the third person of Asian descent invited to host the show. "Before me, only Jackie Chan and Lucy Liu have appeared. That has left a rather awkward voice in representation that I hope to fill."
George is already writing up his monologue, but he won't spill the beans on what he'll be talking about. "I can't tell you yet what I've got planned, but it will give fans what they have come to expect. And probably raise a lot of eyebrows."

Peptides of the V3 loop of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 have been shown to bind with high affinity to the immunophilins cyclophilin (Cyp) A, CypB and the FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP12) [10]. We investigated whether immunophilins affect HIV-1 infection by assuming they are able to bind to the V3 loop of gp120. T cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were infected with T-cell-tropic or macrophage-tropic HIV-1 strains, respectively, in the presence of different concentrations of immunophilins. P24 antigen ELISA and real-time PCR measurements demonstrated that exogenously added immunophilins do not influence HIV-1 infection. CypA is known to interact with the HIV-1 Gag polyprotein and to be incorporated into the virions. This incorporation can be prevented by cyclosporin A (CsA) resulting in a decreased yield of infectious virus, the mechanism of which is unknown. We measured a normal production of proviral DNA in the first round of infection in CsA treated cells but afterwards, infection was decreased if CsA was present. Pre-treatment of the HIV-1 inocula with CsA, blocking the function of virus-associated CypA, did not inhibit the ensuing yield of infection. We therefore may conclude that endogenous CypA exerts its action after reverse transcription but before virus maturation, probably during capsid formation. FK520, an immunosuppressor which binds to FKBP, had no effect on HIV-1 infection.

College Hockey:Colborne's Two Goals, Assist, Help Denver Sweep North Dakota
Ostrow has Goal, Assist
DENVER — Yankees-Red Sox. Giants-Cowboys. Bruins-Canadiens. Celtics-Lakers. Add the No. 3 Denver Pioneers and No. 2 North Dakota Fighting Sioux hockey teams to the list of bitter rivals who really seem to dislike each other.
In a tightly called game marred by 20 penalties, a game that had a little bit of everything, including a disallowed tying goal in the waning seconds of the game, the Pioneers topped the Fighting Sioux, 3-2, sweeping the weekend series before 6,030 fans at Magness Arena. Every goal was scored on the power play,
Sophomore Joe Colborne, who was awarded the first star of the game and his first ever hard hat in the locker room, scored two goals and an assist in the win. Marc Cheverie made 24 saves.
"Both teams are vying for going to the halfway point being one of the top teams in the conference, so the four points were very important," said Pioneers' coach George Gwozdecky. "We're happy and pleased to get all four. It was very close. I think the officiating was consistently tight all night, and I think we adjusted to that and got better at that as the game wore on."
Special teams play dictated the first period. With Jesse Martin already in the box, John Lee took a bad unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for hitting after the whistle, giving the Sioux 1:09 of five-on-three advantage. With only eight seconds left on Martin's penalty, Danny Kristo took a shot from the blue line that beat a screened Marc Cheverie top corner stick side at 3:23.
After killing off the rest of Lee's penalty, the Pioneers started to generate opportunities, and Tyler Ruegsegger had a golden chance go off the right post and back out. On two consecutive power plays, Eidsness either made the save or the Pioneers shot high and wide. Eidsness robbed Drew Shore on a shot from the left circle with his glove, and Rhett Rakhshani shot a laser just high and wide from the left circle.
Late in the period, John Ryder got called for roughing, and the Sioux power play again capitalized. This time, the Sioux cycled the puck and got Chris VandeVelde free down low in the right slot, and he lifted a shot high glove side past Cheverie at 17:26.
Just as the Sioux had used their power play to build the lead, the Pioneers used theirs in the second period to take the lead on a string of Sioux penalties. After offsetting tripping minors to Rakhshani and Derrick LaPoint 20 seconds in the period, the Sioux took five consecutive minors before Martin got called for hooking, and then Brett Hextall took an unsportsmanlike call at the end of the period.
First, they took advantage of carry-over time on a first period call on Andrew MacWilliam. With 11 seconds left in MacWilliam's penalty, Kyle Ostrow got the puck behind the goal line in the right corner and fed a perfect pass to Colborne, who was alone in the slot. Colborne one-timed Ostrow's pass top shelf stick side at 1:09.
"I guess for a six-five guy, I'm pretty sneaky," laughed Colborne. "We came in and made a few adjustments. The coaches were looking at video and noticed a few weaknesses. We knew they were starting to pressure more up top and so I started dropping off more to the side and they had to start collapsing down low, so that opened up our D-men for shots from the point. I have to credit Drew Shore and Kyle Ostrow for doing all the work on that goal."
Colborne got his second consecutive power-play goal to tie the game at 5:22. Patrick Wiercioch fired a slap shot from the left point that deflected off Colborne's pad at the left side of the crease past Eidsness.
"One of the changes we made from last night was bringing Patrick Wiercioch back strictly for the power play," said Gwozdecky. "I think he was a big difference. Some of the things we didn't do a very good job of last night on the power play, as far as puck rotation, was much better tonight and it opened up a couple guys on the back side like Rakhshani and Ostrow that they had to honor, which opened up Colborne."
The Pioneers got their third consecutive power-play goal in brilliant fashion. With Brad Malone in the box for slashing, the Pioneers set up well and controlled play, keeping the puck in the Sioux zone for almost two minutes. With 15 seconds left on the power play, Colborne slid a pass across the crease to Ostrow at the right side of the crease, and Ostrow took his time roofing a shot past a diving Eidsness at 8:33.
"It's amazing what scoring will do," said Gwozdecky. "You can be feeling just average and all of a sudden you score a goal and it changes your whole outlook. You have a little bit more zip in your step and you're a little more confident in your passing and shooting. When we got two, we knew we were going to get three. It's the same group, same pattern, but because they're scoring, all of a sudden they look like the Soviets of 1972 or the Oilers of 1984. It's remarkable how that happens."
Though Denver got three more power plays in the period, they were unable to build on their lead. The Sioux, in turn, had a late power play chance, but the Pioneers were able to kill it off.
"Nothing surprises me," said a sedate Sioux coach Dave Hakstol, who had no comment about the officiating after the game. "I'm going to sit back and take a look. I thought we took two or three poor penalties which lacked composure. I think the whole middle 20 minutes was the turning point of the game."
The third period was more clean, though both teams got their chances on the power play. At 17:43 of the period, with Denver in the late stages of a power play, Colborne got called for hooking and the Sioux went to work.
With a little over a minute left in the game, Hakstol pulled Eidsness to get a six-on-four advantage, and during a wild scramble in front at 19:16, the puck went in the net and a goal was credited to Malone. However, after a video review, the goal was waved off, as Malone clearly kicked it in.
Colborne had been watching the replay in the box, and was relieved.
"I felt kind of a little bit to blame for that last goal, so when I saw that kicking motion, it made me feel great," said Colborne. "That last minute stand by "Chev" and the guys was huge."
"I knew right away," said Cheverie of the disallowed goal. "He shot it off my shoulder and I didn't know where it was and it dropped down from my stomach and he immediately kicked it in. I knew there was no way they could count it, but stranger things have happened, and I've seen those count before, so I was a little worried when the refs were looking at it."
"Kyle Ostrow, who was on the ice for their disallowed goal, came right over to the bench and he was doing the kicking motion and says, 'Coach, it's no goal; they kicked it in,' and he was so confident," said Gwozdecky.
With the goal waved off however, Martin's cross-checking penalty during the play went into effect, giving the Sioux a six-on-three advantage for most of the rest of the game. However, the Pioneers aggressively blocked shots and got the puck out of the zone. preserving the win.
"I think the biggest thing that this team is starting to slowly understand and develop is that idea of the chemistry of playing together and playing within your role, and being proud of your role," said Gwozdecky. "I think you're starting to see the evolution of this team in being able to check their egos at the door and be proud of the role they play, and that's a real positive."

Mark Zuckerberg's, Facebook CEO, latest gift to education in the amount of $120 million as announced on Friday's San Jose Mercury News such; as such a contribution will be spread around Facebook's own backyard in California's Bay Area.
One of the districts, which will be benefited by this gift, from Mr. Zuckerberg and his wife, pediatrician Priscilla Chan, is Ravenswood, 40 percent of the largely Hispanic student population scored proficient in English language arts. And the science curriculum was kept afloat by volunteers in what new Superintendent Gloria Hernandez calls the "dark years," the Palo Alto Weekly reports.
The first $5 million will be allocated to computers, connectivity, and teacher training to make them abreast on technology; leadership training for principals; and support for students transitioning from middle school to high school.
The main goal is to start up: Education, a nonprofit established by the couple to improve education. An unspecified portion will support the creation of new district schools and charter schools "that give people more high-quality choices for their education," the couple writes.
This is not Zuckerberg's first venture into education philanthropy, and he says it won't be his last.
Controversy on his 2010 pledge of $100 million to Newark, N.J. – matching funds that would bring a systemic reforms in a chronically troubled school district. Those efforts were championed by Gov. Chris Christie and then-Mayor Cory Booker, now a US senator; have been slow to yield results and have angered many community members who feel the reforms were too top-down and who question how the money spent.
"A lot of it was going to consultants and for-profit organizations … and there was no public accountability," says Michael Klonsky, who teaches in the College of Education at DePaul University in Chicago and writes about the privatization of public education.
Mr. Klonsky says he's not informed enough about the new gift to comment specifically, but says it's important for there to be transparency and public influence over how the gifted money is being used.
Friday's announcement, Zuckerberg credits the Newark efforts with bringing on 50 new principals, increasing graduation rates by 10 percent, opening new schools run by operators who have a track record of success, and creating a new teacher contract designed to reward good performance.
However, Zuckerberg criticizes by supporters of charter schools and other major reforms, too.
The Newark gift could have had the bigger effect if done differently, and Zuckerberg doesn't seem to have learned the right lessons in how he's approaching this new gift, says Frederick Hess; director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington.
"The gift needs to be contingent on real restructuring," he says.
Stronger reforms were built into a teacher's contract in the District of Columbia when different philanthropies tied up their giving to certain contingencies that persuaded both the district and the union to go in that direction, Mr. Hess says.
By contrast, he says, "in Newark, he wrote the check and then said, 'Let's see what happens.' There was no leverage created for [Superintendent] Cami Anderson, so they had to buy union acquiescence to get modest changes."
While details of this new gift have yet to emerge, it will probably amount to "a couple of pennies on the dollar per year," for the various districts, Hess says, adding, "I don't think this is going to lead to particularly dramatic changes."
But whatever the controversies, cash-strapped districts are grateful for extra money.
"To transform our schools into truly 21st century learning systems, we need a greater investment in financial, social and political capital," says San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Richard Carranza in a statement quoted by TheStreet.com. "We are thrilled that Mark and Priscilla have stepped up to support our vision by focusing on the needs of students in San Francisco's most underserved communities."
