College Hockey:Minnesota stays undefeated as top two lines, Räty, drop Wisconsin
MINNEAPOLIS — As has been the case with several Minnesota opponents of late, Wisconsin stayed even for a period plus.
But as the second session advanced, the Gophers' offense got untracked.
Minnesota (17-0-0, 11-0-0 WCHA) got a pair of goals from each of its top two lines in a decisive middle period in a 4-1 win over the Badgers (10-5-2, 6-5-2 WCHA).
"We weren't great in the first, but we were pretty good, and it was 0-0," Minnesota coach Brad Frost said. "Just to come out and play a great second period there and pretty much lock it down in the third was really good to see."
The top line broke a scoreless tie on a rush at 5:37. Hannah Brandt got the puck to Amanda Kessel and Maryanne Menefee deposited Kessel's cross-ice pass into the net as the sellout crowd of 3,400 erupted.
The trio collaborated again to make it 2-0 with Kessel providing the finish for her 21st goal.
"I think we used the puck better down low," Kessel said of what led to the Gophers' success after being held off the board in the opening 20 minutes. "They're great at that. They have two layers down low all the time, so it's tough for our 'D' to get the pucks through, so if we can get it from bad angles or from down low, I think that helps us."
Junior center Sarah Davis kept the momentum on the side of the home squad, stealing the puck a minute later and flipping it by Alex Rigsby for an unassisted goal. She had her linemates with her, but this time, Davis elected to call her own number.
"I had it on my backhand and I just wanted to score," she said with a laugh. "Luckily, it went in for me."
With less than two minutes to play until the second intermission, the same line put the game out of reach.
Davis got the puck to Rachael Bona and Rigsby made the initial stop. Senior Becky Kortum was able to control the rebound as she crashed the net and slip it into the unguarded cage for a four-goal lead.
"They got back-to-back goals and that took a little bit of the wind out of our sails," Wisconsin coach Mark Johnson said. "Line changes in the second period are always challenging and it got away from us a little bit."
One of the few things missing for Minnesota this season is Davis' offense. She came into the game with only five points on the year after exceeding 30 in each of her prior campaigns.
"It's still confusing as to why she doesn't have as many points," Frost said. "In big games, if you look at the playoff run we had last year and into the national tournament and how well she played, tonight she started to do those things again. I think her confidence is getting up there."
"It's just one of those seasons, I guess, and I just try to tell myself to keep working hard and eventually, it will go in, and thankfully, today it did," Davis said.
Wisconsin rookie Courtney Burke made a determined charge up the ice and set up Brianna Decker for a third-period tap-in goal to deny Noora Räty a shutout.
"[Burke] played well tonight," Decker said. "It was her first game against Minnesota and I thought she stood out. Hopefully, she can make some good plays like that tomorrow. We'll need it."
"I was happy with the way we came out in the third period and competed until the end of the game," Johnson said.
Burke's offensive contribution was a welcome sight for a team that at times looks like it is waiting for the next generation of talented offensive stars to emerge and help Decker.
"She's grown, and for a bunch of our kids, it's the first time they've been in this environment against this quality of an opponent, so it becomes a learning opportunity," Johnson said. "As she does those things within the context of the game, that should put her in a position where she gets comfortable, she gets confident, and now she'll be able to do that more often."
The game could have taken a far different turn on a Wisconsin power play early in the second stanza. Räty was flat on her back after scrambling to make a save as the puck slid back to the blue line and a Badger had the top half of the net to shoot at.
"I was hoping she would get up and make a routine save, but she's kind of more for the dramatic there, flashing the glove," Frost said.
Räty produced a save from her breezers that has become routine for her over her college career, snatching the puck from the air and controlling it for the whistle.
"I kind of made it hard for myself, just laying down there and not getting up fast," Räty said. "It was funny because yesterday, we were practicing that I should get up fast when I fell on my butt. I definitely didn't do it, but good thing I was able to make the save."
That is a very typical result when Räty is facing an opponent's scoring chance.
"The way that she played tonight was awesome," Kessel said. "It's bad to say, but we do expect it from her because she's so good. She shows up in big games and you could see that tonight."
The senior turned away 22 shots in earning her 15th win of the year, as the Gophers' blueline corps did a good job of limiting opportunities.
"They're just smart hockey players," Räty said. "They don't go in the corners if they don't have to. They don't leave the net front. They protect our net really well and they use their size really well. Their sticks are probably longer than I am."
Rigsby countered with 37 saves at the other end of the ice.
Even in defeat, the Badgers demonstrated that they have advanced since a stretch in October where they lost three straight without scoring a goal.
"I like our work habits," Johnson said. "Hopefully, you saw it in the game today. Kids that played today are going to grow because of the experience. We're not happy that we lost, but in the big picture, we become better, and hopefully, we move forward in tomorrow's game."
The Badgers figure to have a better chance if the contest is low scoring.
"Being a defensive team, I think that's a big key for us," said Decker. "We have a good goaltender and we have solid 'D.' I think we have to just bear down and make sure we keep the puck out of our net. We have some offensive threats, too [and] we've just got to use those."
The game had a definite playoff atmosphere with the large crowd as the teams met for the first time since the 2012 NCAA championship.
"I wasn't here last year against Wisconsin, so I got to experience the wave for the first time," Davis said. "I wasn't too focused on that shift because I was too caught up in the wave going around the arena. It was sick. It was awesome. We need fans like that every game."

"Smart" projects will occur everywhere in time. Human history is in part the story of our continual adoption of new technologies, and technologies like sensors, actuators, smartphones, analytics, and "big-data" will eventually be adopted across city systems such as transportation, energy, planning, and social services.
But if a city seeks to exploit new technologies across its systems in a coordinated way to address overall goals for regeneration, sustainability, and social and economic growth, how can that be achieved?
Some obvious characteristics can be observed in cities that have successfully pursued this agenda: They have a clear vision, championed by city leaders, and they have invested in technology initiatives such as broadband connectivity and open data.
That's not enough, though. The behaviour of a city is the aggregate of the activity of the hundreds of thousands or millions of people who live, work, and relax there. A city will not achieve its goals through a smart strategy unless that strategy results in changes to systems that make a difference to all of those individuals.
The challenge for architects and designers is to create infrastructures and services that can become part of the fabric of city life. This will not be achieved simply by applying concepts such as citizen-centric principles to the design of smart city services. That is necessary, but not sufficient. The more important question is: Who has the ability to apply such approaches on behalf of all of the people within a city?
The answer lies in communities. It is only by enabling the co-creation of new services by all of the stakeholders within city communities that a citizen-centric approach can be systematically and universally enabled.
Communities are living, breathing manifestations of city life, not structures to be engineered. They are expressions of social life, they provide support, they represent shared interests and capabilities, and they can communicate between city institutions and individual citizens. They include families and social networks; neighbourhood, cultural, and faith groups; charities and the voluntary sector; public sector organisations such as schools and universities, in addition to local government; and private sector organisations, such as service providers, retailers, and employers.
Through engagement with communities, bridges can form between city leaders and institutions, and the "bottom-up" activitism such as "hackathons," social media surgeries, and "DIY urbanism" that are emerging everywhere.
This engagement takes work. The most isolated and disadvantaged communities -- those most in need of improved services -- often do not trust city authorities. Small businesses find institutional bureaucracies and procurement processes difficult and expensive to engage with. Lowering these barriers takes time.
The starting point is simple: Have conversations. Conversations create understanding and trust, and these are the first components of the soft infrastructure that makes smart cities possible.
Once trust is in place, more structural elements of "soft infrastructure" can become effective: open data competitions, hackdays, stakeholder forums, and ultimately formal governance structures for measuring outcomes and sharing city data. In some cities, existing organisations play a vital role in the formation of these infrastructures -- such as Sustainable Enterprise Strategies in Sunderland, which provides support to small businesses and social enterprises in deprived communities, or the Social Media Surgeries in Birmingham, which helps communities understand how social media can help them share resources effectively and create social value.
Community innovators often have limited resources. On their own, they are unlikely to implement such infrastructures as energy grids or real-time transport information systems. But collectively, their ideas could contribute significantly to the business case for a city to invest in those infrastructures by creating a portfolio of potential innovations and outcomes.
Soft infrastructures are not all that is required to make a city smart. New technology infrastructures, physical urban regeneration, and the intelligent optimisation and automation of transport and utility infrastructures are all important and significant areas of endeavour. But soft infrastructures, particularly such basic concepts as conversations that build trust, are often overlooked, and in my experience they make the difference between a city where some smart projects happen to take place, and a city that is truly working together across its communities and systems to create sustainable, equitably distributed wealth and social value.

College Hockey:Umberger, Ohio State Take One from Western Michigan on Road
Broncos Get Just 19 Shots in Penalty-Filled Game
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — It's become a familiar pattern for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Go on the road for a two-game series, win the opener.
R.J. Umberger had two goals and an assist, Andre Signoretti had three helpers and Mike McCormick's first tally of the season was the game-winner as No. 12 Ohio State bucked No. 6 Western Michigan 5-2 in Lawson Arena on Thursday.
"We didn't get to the net too much," Broncos coach Jim Culhane said. "We've got some good skill out there … but they shut us down pretty well. They worked really hard on the penalty kill, and we were trying to be maybe a little bit too creative and we didn't get the puck to the net. You've got to go to the net to score."
The Broncos had a season-low 19 shots in a contest that saw 111 penalty minutes — 66 in the first period alone — with seven Western Michigan power plays.
"We can't take the penalties we did tonight and expect to win," Culhane said. "They're pretty skilled, pretty gifted on the power play. We'll have to regroup with that tomorrow night."
"I thought it was a typical high-pressure game," Ohio State coach John Markell said. "It was a good game to watch, a good game to coach. I thought we played a good 60 minutes of hockey."
Steve Piotrowski kept it tight during an emotionally charged first period that threatened to unravel with five minutes to go. In the first 15 minutes of play, there were 14 penalties called, giving the Broncos two power plays and the Buckeyes three, with one set of coincidental minors.
At 15:16, things got a little hairy when Mike Bishai remained in the hunt for the puck after Mike Betz had covered and the whistle had blown. The resulting tussle sent Bisha, Rymsha, and OSU's Jaisen Freeman and Dave Steckel to the box with two-minute minors all around.
Then seconds before the buzzer at the end of the period, someone pushed someone else, who pushed someone else, and eight men wound up with 40 minutes. Broncos Bishai, Cousineau, and Jeff Campbell, and Buckeyes Signoretti, Freeman, and Dufour — the entire OSU senior class — received two minutes each for hitting after the whistle.
Additionally, Rymsha earned four minutes for hitting after the whistle and a 10-minute misconduct, while Steckel had two for cross-checking, two for hitting after the whistle, and 10 minutes of his own.
"I thought [Piotrowski] called it even both ways," Markell said. "He did the right thing, calling everybody."
Rymsha opened the scoring for the Broncos in familiar fashion on a two-man break with Bishai at 6:39 in the first. It was the only even-strength Western goal on the night.
"When that first goal happened we thought, 'OK, we can't be doing this, because it's going to end up in the back of our net,' " Markell said. "That set the tone that we had better pay attention to detail."
That lesson learned, the Buckeyes scored three unanswered goals in fairly quick fashion.
Jean-Francois Dufour tied the game with his ninth of the year, a power-play blast from the top of the slot at 10:01, assisted by Signoretti and Doug Andress.
Three minutes later, Umberger's first goal of the night, also on the power play, made it 2-1.
Then at 16:24, McCormick, fresh out of the penalty box, made good on a timely feed from Umberger, and scored a gorgeous goal in a game that saw several highlight-reel qualifiers.
Umberger skated in right with McCormick left. McCormick — arguably the fastest Buckeye — poured on the steam and crossed the slot to reach the bottom of the right circle, where he took Umberger's forward pass on the fly and in one fluid motion backhanded the puck upstairs as he skated past the right post.
The Broncos cut the lead to within one at 18:44, when Bishai scored on the power play from Cousineau, and the period ended 3-2.
But when Umberger stuffed the puck between Reynaert's leg and the right post to give the Buckeyes the 4-2 lead at 2:35 in the second, the eventual outcome was obvious.
Nick Ganga added an empty-net goal with two seconds left in the third.
Betz had 17 saves in his ninth win of the season. Reynaert saved 21 of 25, as the Buckeyes outshot the Broncos 26-19. OSU went 2-for-7 on the power play, and held the Western Michigan PP to one goal on nine attempts.
"I thought our defense played really well," said Markell. "We were choking them into the middle, which means our wingers were making the right read on the defensive side of the puck."
The Buckeyes improved to 10-4-1 (7-3-1 CCHA) and jumped into a tie with Michigan and Miami for second place in the CCHA. The 10 wins represent the Buckeyes' best start since the 1983-84 season.
Western Michigan (11-3-2, 6-2-2 CCHA), tied for fourth in the league with Northern Michigan, suffered just its second league loss and has lost two in a row for the first time this season.
The clustermates meet for their second game of the year Friday night, something Culhane views as a positive.
"The good thing is that we don't have to sit here for another couple weeks before we play," he said. "We'll come back tomorrow to play against a really good Ohio State hockey team. Give them a lot of credit. They outworked us. They beat us tonight. Good team."

I have so SO many books in my TBR pile at the moment that I'm dying to get to, but until I finish up a few things, there's no way. Sneaking in a few chapters here and there never works, especially if I fall in love with the book, because then I have to devour it in one sitting and the day is gone.

Feels like it should be Friday. Thursday, at least…
Okay, so the second 1/3 of Linger is a go with a few easy additions and changes. I've got a list of scenes I need to add in and flesh out but it's all basically come together. Which is a relief because I do love this book again. Next up is working on Shadow Play (the Sydney Croft novella) and sketching out Nick's book (Too Hot To Hold) in between the copy edits and revisions of some other books. And RWA is, like, 3 weeks away. So there's shopping that needs to be done. Hopefully, most of it can be done online. Because shopping? *shudders*
Did you see that Paula Abdul has a new reality show starting at the end of this month? I'm totally going to have to watch it. The premiere of Rescue Me was…meh and I really do miss Rock Star.

First of all, I'm having a wonderful release month (and trying to ignore migraine from hell) – I've gotten so many wonderful emails from readers who've enjoyed Coming Undone – reader mail is THE most wonderful thing ever!!!:biggrin:
(random aside: One of my favorite sites, Astrology for Writers, is gone. Page no longer found. Jule Hill, where are you!?!)
Anyway, I'm neck-deep in revisions for both Hard To Hold (aka Jake's book) and Linger. I'm loving the edits on the Jake book – adore them. The whole story is there – it just needs to be dug out and moved around and every time I work on something more of the story falls into place. I've never had so much fun revising ever.
Linger? Not so much. But it'll all work out.
And, since I'm still trying to decide what kind of tattoo I want in honor of my first book sale, I took the, What Tattoo Should You Get, quiz. Obviously, this quiz does not know me at all, since I despise butterflies. They scare me and gross me out. I've referred to them, at one time or another, as worms with wings. Even my former students knew it – there was the one time that 40 eighth graders tried to drag me into the butterfly house at the Bronx Zoo (OMG – butterflies actually LAND on you – that should be illegal)
It was closed for repairs. If I'd been forced inside, I don't know what would've happened.

Between yesterday and today, I'm doing my Christmas baking. Because (oh, another thing I do to drive my editor crazy – starting sentences with because! Hopefully she is too busy deleting the becauses from my manuscript to read my blog)…anyway, where was I, oh, right – Christmas baking because even though I don't cook, I do like to bake. Except that I haven't done any Christmas baking for the past few years. So I promised the husband I'd do it this year.
So I've got to make pumpkin and apple pies, butter cookies with the cookie press this year I'm also making PBW's No Brainer Fudge…I tried the recipe last week and it's so easy and SO good. (note to self: you also use so too much in your manuscripts. Blogging may be ruining your life.)
This is, of course, completely true. No matter what Larissa says:

10 inch
Our 10 inch Stick Baits are obviously a large lure that lend themselves to chasing larger predatory fish such as jewfish and tuna. Even though it may look too big, it is in fact about the same size as a garfish or saurie, which are excellent bait-fish in themselves. These lures are ideal for casting from ocean rocks for kings, throwing around offshore FADs for mahi-mahi, or when rigged with added weight, jigging inshore reefs for snapper or jewies. Because of their size they are easy to cast, and they have an exaggerated action due to their length. Even though though they are almost as long as some of the fish often targeted in an estuary, fish such as rat kings, at under 60cm, have no problem eating one of these lures, as most pelagic fish tend to have eyes much bigger than their stomach!
6 inch
The 6 inch Stick Bait is probably the more versatile of the two lures currently available, as it's size allows the angler to target fish from flathead, all the way up to large kings or jewies. It is an ideal lure for estuary fishing, being comparable to a small pilchard - one of the most prominent and popular bait-fish available. Rigged weighted simply with sinkers or jigheads, they can be used to explore the sandflats or snags, or used unweighted they can be skipped across or just under the surface in search of kings, salmon or tailor. There are few fish in our waters that won't have a go at a 6 inch Stick Bait, as they are a great imitation of one of the most important food sources in every waterway on the coast.

- Randall Children's Hospital designed by ZGF ArchitectsZGF Architects recently added yet another sustainable building to their resume in Portland, Oregon. The new Randall Children's Hospital at the Legacy Emanuel Medical Center is a 334,000 square foot facility that boasts sustainable interior design and green roof terraces among other environmentally friendly building strategies. This nine story building houses 165 hospital beds for neonatal intensive care, pediatric care, and acute care. It also provides Portland with a children's cancer and blood disorder unit, a new children's emergency department, and a surgery unit.1
- Randall Children's Hospital designed by ZGF ArchitectsThe main design focus for the Randall Children's Hospital was to enhance the sense of place for the Legacy Emanuel campus. This involved creating comfortable a healing environment for the children and their families that is full of inspiration anddistraction.2
- Randall Children's Hospital designed by ZGF ArchitectsThe third floor of the Randall Children's Hospital extends out to a terrace garden and provides a space for contemplation and reflection. This roof terrace includes beautiful views, artistic sculptures, and skylights for the floor below3
- Randall Children's Hospital designed by ZGF ArchitectsThe exterior envelope is highly insulative and incorporates high-performing thermal materials that allow it to exceed the Oregon Energy Code.4

Final report of the Task Force on Permafrost Creep and Rock Glacier Dynamics. This Task Force was established in 1998 by the International Permafrost Association (IPA) and the International Commission on Snow and Ice (ICSI; now the Commission on Cryospheric Sciences, CCS) with Wilfried Haeberli and Bernard Hallet as co-chairs in order: (1) to define the state of knowledge relevant to the flow and evolution of perennially frozen ice/rock mixtures; and (2) to provide an overview of ongoing studies that obtain quantitative information from drilling, geophysical soundings, geodetic/photogrammetric monitoring and measurements of surface conditions. For this purpose, a special half-day workshop took place on 27 March 2001 within the framework of the First European Permafrost Conference in Rome, Italy (Rea, §). Further discussions followed during and after the 8th International Conference on Permafrost in Zurich (20–25 July 2003). The present contribution is based on the corresponding results and constitutes the final product of the Task Force. The following colleagues served as lead authors of the main subsections in this report: thermal conditions: Ole Humlum (surface, active layer) and Daniel Vonder Mühll (boreholes); composition: Norikazu Matsuoka (rocks) and Roger Elconin (ice); geometry/kinematics: Andreas Kääb and Viktor Kaufmann (photogrammetry, geodesy); and rheology: Sarah Springman, Lukas Arenson (mountains) and Branko Ladanyi (lowlands).

Both Major Preseason Polls Released: The Associated Press (media)
and USA

week... Arizona is the No. 9 pick in both sets of rankings... It's the
seventh time that the Wildcats have been among top-10 in the preseason
polls... Arizona was the No. 1 pick in 1997-98, No. 3 in 1990-91, No. 5 in

Preseason Rankings: In addition to the AP and USA Today/ESPN
polls, the
Cats have been ranked anywhere from No. 5 (The Sporting News) to No. 18
(Lindy's) in the preseason magazines. They were No. 9 in Sports
Illustrated, which was released on Wednesday... A complete listing of all
the preseason polls and individual accolades are listed later on in this
Injury Report: Rick Anderson has missed the past couple of days
with strep
throat... He should be ready for this weekend... Michael Schwertly is still
suffering from on-again, off-again back problems, but has improved this
week... Lamont Frazier has undergone more medical testing and as a result
will not practice with the team until later this week... It is anticipated
that this will be the last restriction that will be imposed on Frazier as a
result of his present medical condition... Luke Recker has been medically
cleared to return to full basketball participation after having been
involved in rehabilitation, conditioning and limited practice situations
since the start of practice on Oct. 16, due to the broken wrist he
sustained in a car wreck this summer... He was examined by team orthopedic
surgeon Dr. Jon Wang and all restrictions were removed on Nov. 9... He will
continue his rehab, but not be restricted from participation in any
basketball activities.
Pac-10 Prognostications: The Wildcats were picked to win the
Pac-10 Conference title, according to a poll of media members who regularly
cover the league... The poll showed Arizona getting 32 of the possible 36
first-place votes, edging No. 2 UCLA, who received three first place votes
and No. 3 Stanford, which garnered one first place vote... Following the
top-three were Oregon, Oregon State, California, USC, Arizona State,
Washington and Washington State. This poll has correctly picked the Pac-10
Champion for five years in a row and Arizona has now been the preseason No.
1 pick six times since the poll was started back in 1989.
Arizona Basketball On TV This Year: Each of Arizona's 29
regular season
games will be televised on either Fox Sports Net, ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, CBS or
KWBA. The Wildcats appear on Fox Sports Net 20 times, ESPN twice, ESPN2
twice, CBS once, ABC once and on Tucson's KWBA five times. Should Arizona
advance to the Preseason NIT's second round, semi-finals and final, it
would make one more showing on ESPN2 and have two more ESPN games.
Counting Classes: The 1999-2000 Arizona basketball roster is
young... From top-to-bottom, it is comprised of just two seniors, of which
only one will play, due to Eugene Edgerson's redshirt season (Josh Pastner,
who has played just 77 minutes in his three year career is the lone
"playing" senior)... After that, there are five juniors two of which have
never played in a game for the Cats (Wake Forest transfer Loren Woods &
junior college transfer Lamont Frazier) and one who can't play this season
because he is a transfer (Luke Recker)... Then there are four sophomores,
one redshirt freshman and four true freshman... In all, the 16 players on
this year rosters have combined to play in an average of only 19 career
games for the Wildcats.
The UA's record of 320-74 over the course of the past 12 years gives
it the
nation's best winning percentage during that span (.812).
Who's Back: Heading the group of three returning starters and
letterwinners is last year's Freshman All-American and Pac-10 Freshman of
the Year, Michael Wright. A 6-foot-7, 238-pound sophomore from Chicago,
Ill. (Farragut Academy), he has received preseason acclaim as being one the
top power forwards in the country for 1999-2000. He is the team's leading
returning scorer (13. 9 ppg) and rebounder (8.8 rpg) after posting the best
rebounding average by a freshman in Pac-10 history last season. The other
two returning starters from last year are also sophomores this year, and
they are Richard Jefferson (F, 6-7, 222, Phoenix, Ariz.) and Ruben Douglas
(G, 6-4, 192, Altadena, Calif.). Jefferson was an All-Pac-10 Freshman team
performer last season after averaging 11.3 ppg, 4.8 rpg and 2.9 apg, while
Douglas was named to the All-Pac-10 Freshman honorable mention team in
1998-99. Among the other returning letterwinners are Justin Wessel (F, 6-8
½, 225, Jr., Cedar Rapids, Iowa), Rick Anderson (F, 6-8 ½, 221, So., Long
Beach, Calif.), John Ash (G, 5-10, 177, Jr., Tucson, Ariz.) and probably
the most valuable player in the country who has averaged 2.8 minutes per
game during his three-year career, Josh Pastner (G, 5-11, 182, Kingwood,

A Redshirt Year: Another face that is returning this season,
but will not
be playing is Eugene Edgerson... He will redshirt this season so he can
complete his degree requirement in his education major... In order to
accomplish his goal of getting his degree and teaching certificate from the
UA in four years, he will student teach during the 2000 spring semester,
while fulfilling other requirements this fall... Depending on his teaching
schedule, he will still practice with the team but will miss Wednesday
practices during the fall semester.
The (Kind Of) New Faces: There are eight players on this season's
who have never played in a game for the Wildcats before, although two of
them were with the program last year and sat out either as a transfer or
with a redshirt season. The transfer is junior center Loren Woods (7-1,
251, St. Louis, Mo.), who came to Arizona from Wake Forest. The former
McDonald's All-American had to sit out last year, but is eligible to play
in 1999-00 and will establish his presence right away. He did practice with
the Cats in 1998-99, so he has a good knowledge of the system. The redshirt
is Luke Walton (F, 6-8, 228, Fr., San Diego, Calif.). He missed last season
with a medical redshirt after suffering a stress fracture in his right
foot. He was healthy towards the end of last year and was able to practice
with the team towards the end of February and coaches were impressed with
his progress.
The New Guys: The six fresh faces on the team are comprised of
a talented
group... There are two transfers and four true freshmen... Junior college
guard Lamont Frazier (6-3, 182, Jr.) comes to Tucson from Lon Morris Junior
College in Jacksonville, Texas and is originally from Los Angeles... His
has missed most of the practices so far due to a recurrent medical
condition, but returned to practice on Oct. 28 -- his first time on the
floor with the team since Oct. 17... The second high-profile transfer in
two years to come to Arizona is Indiana transfer Luke Recker (G/F, 6-6,
190, Jr., Auburn, Ind.)... Just as the case was with Loren Woods last
season, he must sit out this season as a result of NCAA transfer rules, but
will be allowed to practice with the team... As a result of the broken left
wrist he suffered in a car wreck back in early July, he has been held out
of some drills to avoid contact, but was able to play in last Tuesday's
Pepsi Red/Blue Scrimmage... His rehab process is going extremely well and
his progress has been much better than first expected... The four true
freshmen on the squad include McDonald's All-American Jason Gardner (G,
5-10, 178, Indianapolis, Ind.), Gilbert Arenas (G, 6-3, 191, North
Hollywood, Calif.), Robertas Javtokas it's pronounced YAHV-toe-kus (C,
6-10, 229, Siauliai, Lithuania) and walk-on Michael Schwertley (F, 6-5,
214, Phoenix, Ariz.).
Coach O: Lute Olson (Augsburg '56) begins his 17th season as
the head coach
at Arizona and his 27th overall as a head coach... This season will see him
reach of number of milestones in what has become a Hall of Fame type
coaching career... He has a career record of 587-212 (.735), while his mark
in Tucson stands at 395-120 (.767) and he has made Arizona one the dominant
programs in the country... The first game of the season will be his 800th
career game as a head coach and he needs just 13 more wins for career win
No. 600, which would make him one of just 33 coaches in NCAA history to win
600 or more games... With five more wins, he will reach 400 for his Arizona
career (these numbers may differ from what the NCAA coaching totals list,
because as opposed to the Pac-10 Conference, the NCAA does not count
forfeits as wins on head coaching records, as the case is with two UA
losses to Cal in 1995 and 1996, which were later changed to wins... the
same holds true with a game when Olson was at Iowa, when there was a
forfeit by Wisconsin in 1983 that changed a loss into a win)... During his
16-year tenure at Arizona, the Wildcats have won one national championship
(1997), gone to three Final Fours (1988, 1994, 1997), won eight Pac-10
Conference titles and been to the NCAA Tournament for the past 15 years in
a row, which is the second longest streak in NCAA history (North Carolina,
25)... He has been named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year six times (1986, 88,
89, 93, 94, 98) and directed the program to the nation's best winning
percentage over the past 12 years... His Pac-10 record stands at 223-65
(.774) and he is one of just six coaches in league history to win 200 or
more conference games... He has the second-best conference winning
percentage in Pac-10 history (minimum three years), trailing only John
Wooden (.810/304-74)... Prior to coming to Arizona, he was at Iowa for nine
years where he owned a 168-90 mark and before that, he was at Long Beach
State for one season (1973-74), where he went 24-2... 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 12 consecutive 20-win seasons
and has 21 overall in his career... Under Olson, the Cats have gone 243-25
during his career in McKale Center and have won 172 of their last 182 home
The Coach's Show: Once again this season, KNST will air the Lute
Coach's Show and it is hosted by Brian Jeffries... Due to Arizona travel
conflicts during the non-conference season, the show will air just once
prior to Pac-10 play... The first show is on Monday, Nov. 29, at 6 p.m. It
is broadcast live from Bob's at 6350 East Tanque Verde Road... The show
will then be aired for the television portion of the Lute Olson Show,
showing on Tuesday, Nov. 30, at 10:30 p.m. on UPN channel 18... The next
Lute Olson Show after this will be on Tuesday, Jan. 4, at 6 p.m. and the TV
show will be shown Wednesday, Jan. 5 at 10:30 p.m.

and went to the Atlanta Hawks... Bramlett was an All-Pac-10 selection last
season after averaging 14.2 ppg, 9.4 rpg... He was drafted in the second
round of the NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers... Both Terry and
Bramlett were members of four Arizona teams that went 103-28 (55-4 at
home), while winning a national title, a Pac-10 Championship and they went
11-3 in the NCAA Tournament... Jason Stewart was the third senior last
year, while freshman guard Traves Wilson transferred in the off-season.
Arizona's NCAA History: Last year marked the 18th time Arizona has made an
appearance in the NCAA Tournament and it was the 15th invite under head
coach Lute Olson... UA's current string of 15 consecutive appearances in
the NCAAs is the second longest streak in NCAA history, trailing only North
Carolina's 25 straight invites (UNC's is a current streak as well)... Last
season was the 20th time in the last 21 years that Olson has taken a team
to the NCAAs... He has directed Arizona to 15 tourneys and a 24-14 record
-- and when he was the coach at Iowa, he coached five Hawkeye squads to the
NCAAs... With 20 career appearances in the NCAA Tournament, he is tied for
fourth on the NCAA's all-time tournament appearance list for head coaches
with Adolph Rupp and John Thompson... Over the course of their last 20 NCAA
games, the Wildcats own a record of 15-5... In the last five years, Arizona
has played in 21 tournament games... Arizona's all-time record in the NCAA
Tournament is now 26-17... The Wildcats have been to three Final Fours --
1988, 1994 & 1997... Arizona has advanced to the Sweet 16 seven times in
the last 12 years.
consecutive season that Arizona won 20 or games... Further, it was the 14th
time in Lute Olson's 16 years as UA head coach that the Cats have reached
the 20-win plateau... It marked the 21st time in Olson's career that he has
directed a team to 20 or more victories, making him just the eighth head
coach in NCAA history to reach 20 wins in 21 or more seasons (Dean
Smith-30; Jerry Tarkanian-26; Adolph Rupp-23; Bobby Knight-22; Denny
Crum-21; Jim Boeheim-21; John Chaney-21).
32-game home winning streak in tact... The streak includes all 14 home
games last season, all 15 in 1997-98 and the final three of the 1996-97
campaign... The last loss was a 66-64 defeat to UCLA on Feb. 13, 1997...
Further, Arizona has won 43 of its last 44 home games and is 172-10 in
McKale Center since the 1987-88 season... During that time, the Cats have
lost just two non-conference games (Arkansas, 1992-93 & Syracuse,
1995-96)... Overall, Arizona has won 18 consecutive non-conference home

(+8.1 rpg)... The Cats completed its home schedule with a 14-0 mark... It
was the ninth time in history the UA has completed its home schedule
undefeated... Last year was the first time since 1989-90 that Arizona
didn't score 100 points or more in at least one game... Arizona started
three freshmen in 22 of its 29 games and used 10 different starting
lineups... Only three teams shot 50% or better against the Wildcats --
UCLA (50%), at Cal (51.6%) and at Stanford (54.0%)... Arizona suffered its
worst shooting performance of the season against Oklahoma in the first
round of the NCAA Tournament (19-of-57/33%)... One offshoot of the UA's
rebounding dominance was the amount of times it went to the free throw
line... The Wildcats attempted 252 more free throws than the opposition...
The three-point field goal percentage of .350 was the lowest in team
history... Arizona's 30 turnovers against Washington State on Jan. 7, were
the most for the program since Dec. 4, 1982, when the Ben Lindsey-coached
Cats had 36 at New Mexico... The University of Arizona retired Steve Kerr's
jersey in a ceremony following the Washington game... He joined Sean
Elliott as the only former Wildcats to have their jersey hung from the
McKale Center rafters... Arizona has the most wins of any Pac-10 team in
the 1990s (257)... That averages out to just under 26 wins a year this
when it has a better shooting percentage than its opponent... The Wildcats
were 19-1 last season, 23-2 the year before and 18-1 in 1996-97 campaign.

I've rediscovered a booklet from a July 13, 1987, Madonna concert.
During her "Who's That Girl" World Tour, Madonna did this show at Madison Square Garden to benefit the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR). This booklet looks like a regular program from the outside, but inside was a comic explaining AIDS and safe sex.
There was also a note from Madonna about how she had lost her best friend to AIDS the previous year. "Don't let fear keep you from knowing the facts," she wrote.
To understand how forward-thinking and open-minded Madonna was, consider this: in April of that year, Princess Diana caused a media uproar when she declined to wear gloves while shaking hands with AIDS doctors, nurses and patients. People really believed they could get AIDS from a handshake back then. Click the screen cap below to see one of the news reports on Diana, which included a close-up of her bare hands.
A great site called Madonna-TV.com has a short clip of local news coverage of Madonna's benefit show.
Because of Madonna's outspokenness at the height of the AIDS crisis, to this day, I don't care what Madonna does to her face, what she wears, who she dates, what accent she speaks in, etc. She'll always be a queen to me. Well, not just because of the activism. I also liked that she said shit like this:
Diana never sassed the Pope but her little act of bravery made an equally lasting impression on me. A lot of the jewelry I design is inspired by royal women, but strictly pre-20th-century royals. Diana is the only recent princess I've made an exception for, so far.
Heart jewelry for the queen of hearts!
13 Responses to "Throwback Thursday: Madonna, Almost 26 Years Ago Today"
I was just watching old clips of Madonna from her Truth or Dare movie. I love the performance of Vogue from that film. I also admired Madonna fiercely for her AIDS stance and Princess Diana made a HUGE impression on me. I was (am) deeply affected by her touching the AIDS patients and also her work with the land mine victims. What amazing ladies. I'll need to save up for a Diana ring 😉 That seems a very fitting tribute!!
That "comic" from Madonna's tour is amazing. You're keeping it forever, yeah? There's a moving story today in NYT Op-Ed section about a young man who fears he's become infected with HIV, and how lonely he feels. We still have a long way to go.
My mother was a nurse during the polio epidemic of the 50s and she was appalled by the fact that nurses and doctors refused to touch AIDS patients skin to skin. She herself contracted Hepatitis A from a patient and many of her colleagues did get polio. That was the nature of the job. She was very impressed with Diana, Princess of Wales for shaking hands of patients, and touching them. Part of her philosophy was that patients needed touch and hugging to help them fully recover.
I'm not a fan of Madonna's, except for the fact that she did champion AIDS, as did Elizabeth Taylor. I wish Madonna had met with John Paul II. She might have had a chance to use her voice to discuss AIDS and the need for him to allow Catholics to use condoms for safety. One day, the world will judge John Paul II for the AIDS epidemic, particularly in Africa, and I wonder if she won't judge herself for missing an opportunity.
This was a guy who spent years turning a blind eye to the rampant sexual abuse of children by the clergy! I doubt he would have been too moved by what a pop star had to say about AIDS in a five-minute meeting, especially considering his continuing opposition to contraception and homosexuality. Incidentally, it was five years later that Sinead O'Connor destroyed her career by ripping up the pope's picture on SNL … in a protest of child abuse by priests. http://www.theatlantic.com/ent.....or/263020/
Listening to icons of popular culture isn't how the Catholic Church works, and that's ok. The fact that it doesn't listen to millions of people dying of AIDS, or thousands being abused by clergy, is of course another story entirely.
Anyway, thanks, Wendy, for sharing this bit about Madonna, it's something I didn't know and I'm definitely impressed.
What a touching post 🙂 Madonna really has a good heart.
That program is amazing — hold onto that for dear life!
Or sell it on Ebay for one MILLION dollars!
Diana was a beautiful woman and I would love to have seen her sass the Pope!
I knew Madonna's friend that died of AIDS, we worked together at the same nightclub. While I'm no fan of Madonna, I do commend her for her work bringing knowledge to the masses about AIDS. And she stuck with her friend until the bitter end, even covering all his hospital bills. So I do have a soft spot for that act of compassion. XXX
I have always been a fan of Madonna's and Diana's. I have the Christie's catalog of the dresses that Diana put up for auction to raise money for charity.I thought Diana was beautiful–she also raised a stink among royaty when she was in India and held hands with an "untouchable". I did not see Madonna in 1987 but Blonde Ambition in 1990.

West Country farmer says every TB test is a 'nightmare'
Farmers want urgent action as Government statistics reveal the number of herds infected by TB has risen five-fold since 1996.
Our environment correspondent Duncan Sleightholme has been to a farm in Somerset that was free of the disease until three years ago:
Farming Minister to attend Royal Bath & West Show
The Farming Minister David Heath will be at the Royal Bath and West Show, which starts today.
He'll discuss issues like TB and the forthcoming badger cull with farmers. A cull could start as early as Saturday in Somerset and Gloucestershire.
Other concerns for agriculture include the Schmallenberg virus and the future of the industry.
Mr Heath will also visit the Orchards and Cider Pavilion.
150th Royal Bath and West Show starts today
Bovine TB and a difficult year for farming will be among the discussions at the Royal Bath and West Show later.
It's one of the biggest agricultural shows in the country. More than 150,000 people are expected to attend the event in Shepton Mallet.
This year is the 150th show and runs until Saturday.
World record attempt takes some beating
It needed more than 600 eggs for the mix. It had to be baked in an industrial oven. And a forklift was brought in to assemble the all-important parts. But when it came to the crunch, did it all come together?
Watch this video of the military-style operation involved in putting together a Victoria sponge that, it's hoped, will break records.
Possibly the biggest sponge cake in the world
A baker from Dorset has made what is thought to be the largest Victoria sponge in the world. The five feet wide cake will go on display at the Royal Bath and West Show later this month as part of their 150th anniversary celebrations. We've been following its progress throughout the day.
Biggest sponge cake record attempt
A baker from Dorset is in the process of making what is thought to be the biggest Victoria sponge in the world.
The 5 foot wide cake will go on display at the Royal Bath and West Show once completed.
Watch Laura Makin-Isherwood's report from the bakery in Somerset:
Minehead bakery to bake world's biggest sponge cake
A bakery in Minehead is hoping to bake the world's biggest sponge cake today.
The five feet wide giant is part of plans by the Royal Bath and West Show to celebrate its 150th anniversary later this month.
It's quite an operation - it needs more than 500 eggs and will have to be assembled in sections.

Canines, felines, pot belly pigs, and, yes of course, their human companions came out to the Lehigh Valley Pet Expo on Saturday, February 1, geared up for a full day of wholesome family fun. The crowds entered the Agri-Plex Building in an orderly yet eager fashion, wet noses and furry heads bumping into the legs of all who passed by. Humans and pets alike interchanged smiles and warm hellos as they made their way through the expo.
The showground was filled with tables, occupied by a great number of animal rescue organizations and pet supply vendors. There were agility courses for dogs and pot belly pigs, a comedy dog show, and various educational and interactive programs, including an instructional 30 minute dog behavior tutorial with Canine Behavior Specialist, Bridget Gallagher.
A few of the dog rescues that came out to educate the public about their organizations and encourage attendants to support their efforts, were The Buddy Rescue Foundation, ARF, Linda's Greyhound Rescue, Sunrays Pit Bull Rescue, and Harnessed to Hope Northern Breed Rescue.
The Buddy Rescue Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Limekiln, PA set up a booth near the Dog Arena and attracted a lot of interest with their two loveable dogs who dawned on vests with clear side pouches to collect donations. Their display of fund-raising merchandise included sports caps, shirts, and calendars with the foundation's logo from which 100% of net proceeds go towards covering the expenses of caring for and supporting the animals rescued by the organization.
The Buddy Rescue Foundation's adage is "making a difference, one rescue at a time," and it is accomplishing this life-saving objective by placing loveable dogs that are otherwise "considered unadoptable or simply have no viable means of support" into loving forever homes.
Another amazing organization that came out to the expo was ARF (Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, Inc.). Their "booth" was occupied by their ARF van. Their adoptable dogs could be seen from behind glass, relaxing in comfortable kennels. ARF is a "no kill" shelter that has been rescuing dogs and cats since 1974. It is a sanctuary for abandoned and relinquished animals, and offers quality care for their rescues until they can be found permanent loving homes.
Breed specific animal rescues like Linda's Greyhound Rescue and Harnessed to Hope Northern Breed Rescue brought their adoptable Greyhounds and Huskies with hopes to find them homes and collected donations. Sunray's Pit Bull Rescue displayed various visual aids and pamphlets to raise awareness and dispel the negative image wrongfully imposed upon the beautiful and loyal breed. Parrot and Wildlife and Exotic feline rescues like T&D's Cats of the World and the Lonely Grey Rescue also had booths at specific demonstration areas.
Overall, the 2014 Lehigh Valley Pet Expo was a great success, and attracted hundreds of animal lovers and their pets. Most importantly, the remarkable Animal Rescue organizations featured were able to get the support and awareness needed to continue with their rescue, fostering, and adoption efforts.

This origami (folded paper) model of a maple seed was developed at the 1997 Salish Workshop on Improving the Preparation of Science Teachers. The exercise titled "Maple Copters" was focused on the analysis of the behavior of maple seeds as a means of assessing the success of teaching the scientific method to students. However, my interests in design and technology as a method and a paradigm to support science, and as topics worthy of study on their own, led me to develop a reliable & consistent working model of a maple seed. Following my personal goals of simplicity and elegance, I wanted to build a model that could be assembled with the minimum number of tools and supplies, and that would autorotate reliably. I also wanted a model that could demonstrate the parameters involved in problems of aerodynamics, seed dispersal, orbital dynamics, and color recognition, just a few of the things that I saw could be taught with a whirling device. Here are the instructions to make such a model. It is best built out of Andes® mint wrappers. Their thin foil holds the shape of the folds. It can also be built using aluminum foil, origami paper, regular paper (with a glue stick to ensure that the last fold sticks), or thin paper. Thick paper doesn't work very well. Note that all the red lines indicate a "valley" fold, with the paper on either side of the line folded upward. For those who want to make one the size of the Andes® wrappers, but who can't get them, the wrapper measures 55mm wide x 62mm tall. Have fun! Instructions:
Grasp the finished model at the broad end of the wing opposite the weighted "seed" end, and toss it upward with a flick of the wrist to set it rotating. The model will spin to the ground. Or, to start it autorotating, hold it over your head by the broad end, "seed" end up, and drop it. It should autorotate within two feet.

Developing You 2.0
By User12601034-Oracle on Aug 06, 2009
Likewise, we have a choice now. Everywhere you look, you see references to 2.0 – web 2.0, eLearning 2.0, technology 2.0, business strategy 2.0. Yes, it's a 2.0 world with a great, big future in front of us. How many of you, however, have given any thought to You 2.0? That is, what specific things do you need to change to be as successful in the 2.0 world as those previous pioneers were in 1969?
Google only returned 24,600 hits when I queried "You 2.0," indicating to me that it is a relatively unexplored concept. Most sites talked about reinventing yourself so you can achieve your passions in life. My version of You 2.0 is a bit different – I'm simply talking about the "things" (skills, competencies, vision – pick whatever noun you'd like) you need to be – and remain – relevant in a 2.0 world. So, what are they? Glad you asked. Here's my top ten competencies I think you need to survive:
A Personal Brand. (Uniquely You) Anybody remember Davy Crockett? He wasn't just a trapper. He was the "King of the Wild Frontier." Hell, he was so cool he even had his own theme song. Even today, he gets 969,000 hits on Google. What's your theme song?
Core Values. There's a song that says "You've got to believe in something, or you'll fall for anything." What is it that you believe in? Know what things are wildly important to you, because those are the things that will guide you through anything you face.
Be a Systems Thinker. Sure you have decisions to make, but take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Does your decision still make sense? Are you inadvertently impacting something else? The ability to manage details while maintaining a broad perspective will make you invaluable to an organization (and to yourself!).
Be Change Able. Shit happens. Sometimes you can control it happening; sometimes you can't. Your mission – should you choose to accept it – is to understand how you and others react to change and know what you can do to make yourself (and others) cope, or even thrive, during those times of change. Things change; those who adapt survive.
Develop Learning Agility. Learning agility is the ability to adapt and react to new situations extremely quickly. How do you develop this skill? Become a lifelong learner – continually acquire new competencies, seek new experiences, and solicit feedback in order to integrate knowledge, skills and abilities. Not surprisingly, studies have shown that learning agility is a great predictor of future success.
"Employer as Customer" Attitude. A friend of mine once told me to remember that my company is renting me for 40 hours a week – they didn't purchase me lock, stock and barrel. If you view your employer as your customer, and you're focused on customer services, think about the change in attitude and productivity that can inspire. If your company is paying you for your services, what is their return on you?
Leadership Skills. I firmly believe that you don't need a manager title to be a leader. Regardless of your title, you're always the manager of you. If you work on cultivating your leadership skills, chances are good that you'll be noticed when it's time to lead a project, team, division or something else. At the very least, you've developed an employee that companies desire.
Social Media Savvy. Wikipedia – twitter – youtube – facebook - second life - rss feeds – flickr – digg – technorati – scribd – feedburner – ning – meetup. If you aren't familiar with any of these words, get familiar. Social media will dictate how we communicate in the future. Not only should you be aware of it, you should be engaged in it. If you're completely lost, check out the slideshare presentation "What the F\*\*K is Social Media?" Yea, the title is a bit crass, but it's a really good overview.
Critical Thinking Skills. The amount of information we're faced with grows exponentially year after year. The ability to analytically evaluate things observed, expressed, or experienced and determining an appropriate conclusion uses the higher level thinking skills deemed "critical thinking." Given that IDC predicts within five years a tenfold growth of digital information that is created, captured and replicated world-wide, the ability to quickly and efficiently analyze this information will be indispensable.
Collaboration. If you didn't get this from the Social Media section, the world is shrinking. It's very unlikely that people will exist in their cubes and never have to interact with others. The more able you are to interface with other people, regardless of title,country, age, etc., the more likely you'll be able to maneuver the 2.0 world.
So there you have it. These are the ten skills that I think are paramount to creating You 2.0.
I'm hoping to expand on each of these in future posts and maybe provide some ways that you can start to develop, or continue to develop, each skill. Until then, map out where you are in the 2.0 world and determine what skills you need to brush up on. By the way, if there are other skills you think are important, let me know.

San Luis Obispo, CA — Yesterday at about 9:00 in the morning, two residents of an apartment at 60 Casa St woke up to find 32-year-old Sandra Welsh in their residence in the act of stealing various items, including a laptop computer, and other household items. When the residents confronted Welsh, who was unknown to them, Welsh picked up a wooden baseball bat and struck both residents causing minor injuries to both. The residents were able to overcome her and detain her until police officers arrived. Welsh was arrested for robbery, residential burglary, and assault with a deadly weapon.
During the investigation, Welsh was found to be in possession of other likely stolen property that was not taken from the apartment at 60 Casa St.
Welsh was wearing a Sierra Vista Hospital bracelet indicating that she had been recently discharged. She had also allegedly stolen numerous items from the hospital, including a television and dvd player.
Welsh was booked into custody at SLO County Jail.

King Richard of England earned a place in the history books as a medieval monarch. Now scientists have uncovered clues about what this aristocrat ate, and it appears that he satisfied his royal yens with a high protein low carb diet, reported CNN on Aug. 18.
Scientists at the British Geological Survey analyzed the last remaining vestiges of Richard III, which were discovered hidden under a parking lot in the English city of Leicester. Their tests revealed some surprising details about his diet.
Fish and birds both took center stage on his royal table, including swan and heron, rather than meat. Not so surprising: He also enjoyed wine.
Isotope geochemist Angela Lamb led the study and emphasized its high fat content. "Obviously, Richard was a nobleman beforehand, and so his diet would be reasonably rich already," reflected Lamb.
Historians also discovered the high protein menu from Richard's coronation banquet. "It was very elaborate -- lots of wildfowl, including real 'delicacies' such as peacock and swan, and fish -- carp, pike and so on, which were cultivated in special fishponds," she said.
But you don't have to be a king or member of the royalty family to benefit from protein power. As low carb diets like the Atkins plan become more popular, many dieters are seeking ways to add more protein to their diets to boost their weight loss. The latest research shows that protein powder, when carefully chosen, may provide a helpful option.
Studies show that depending on the type of protein powder you consume, you can "boost athletic performance, improve muscle tone and increase overall health," says Kieran Fisher, managing director of Bodybuilding Warehouse.
If you're training, drink a protein shake immediately after you exercise or 30 minutes prior to your first repetition in circuit training. And for a breakfast alternative, try sipping a protein shake as well.
But is protein powder the optimal source when it comes to weight loss? No, said celebrity trainer Vinnie Tortorich in an exclusive interview on Aug. 20.
"I am not a huge fan of engineered food, and protein powder does fall into that category," he points out. However, for convenience on the trail or when biking, it can serve its purpose. "It's not always so cut and dry, when it comes to supplementation, emphasizes Vinnie.
And while Dr. Mehmet Oz frequently touts the latest so-called "miracle" weight loss supplement on his popular talk show, Vinnie steers clear of hyping hope in a bottle.
"You can't get weight loss from a bottle," he says bluntly. By following a healthy low carb diet that follows his "No Sugar, No Grains" (NSNG) mantra, you should need only a "good multivitamin and multimineral daily. It will give you just what may be missing from your daily food intake."
