Dumba building off strong summer
Wednesday, 10.26.2011 / 9:00 AM | Matt Dumba - Special to NHL.com
Matt Dumba is a defenseman for the Red Deer Rebels of the Western Hockey League. The 5-foot-11.75, 183-pound defenseman was named WHL Rookie of the Year after scoring 15 goals and adding 11 assists in 62 games. He also had a tournament-high 12 points -- all assists -- to help Canada Pacific win the bronze medal at the 2011 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. This summer, he played for Canada at the 2011
Ivan Hlinka
Tournament and also took part in the 2011 NHL Research, Development and Orientation Camp in August. Dumba has offered to maintain a monthly blog for NHL.com that will chronicle his season leading up to the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
Hi, this is Matt Dumba from the Red Deer Rebels. I'm really excited to get this season going. It's been a good start to the season here. We're 8-3 now. We got off to a slow start as a team and I did individually, but we've picked it up and found a rhythm, and lately we've been on a roll, winning five games in a row, and I have 7 points in 11 games. They're pretty good numbers, I'm happy with that. And it's fun playing with
Justin Weller
on the back end here. I'm really looking forward to the next month ahead of us.
We're only a month or so into the regular season here, but I've actually been on the ice for a while. I was named captain of our team for the
Ivan Hlinka
Tournament in August. I'd been to Europe when I was younger with a summer hockey team. We traveled around and played other teams. It was nice to experience that, but I hadn't been over in recent years. It was really interesting to go over to Slovakia and the Czech Republic, experience the culture and see how everyone is over there.
As a team, we came out and lost our first game to Sweden, which was a wake-up call, but we went on a tear in the next five games and won every game by a decisive margin. It was a pretty amazing accomplishment. As captain, leading the team was pretty easy with such a great group of players and characters on that team. I had a pretty good tournament and really showed I could play that defensive game, but also add that offense, the hits and flair that everyone likes to see.
After that, I had the NHL RDO Camp in Toronto. That camp was pretty interesting. You got matched up against some of the top guys in this year's draft. It was pretty neat to see all the guys, especially the Russian guys, Nail Yakupov and Alex Galchenyuk. It was great to see their skill and what you're up against, competition-wise. It was a pretty fun few days -- fun to go up there and know people are watching, but just have fun with it, just go out there and have fun and enjoy the experience.
All that summer hockey I think for sure has helped me, especially playing on that big ice surface at the Hlinka, against the skill level I was playing at. Guys like Filip Forsberg and the Swedish team, powerful guys that make it really tough to play against. You've got to make sure your gaps are good and the angles you approach them with are solid. You can't get beat 1-on-1. I think that was good for me to work on my defensive game and I think it'll show this season.
I have pretty high expectations for myself this season. I'd like to go high in the draft. I'm a real competitive guy. I want to show people I can go in the top picks there. But at the same time, whatever team is willing to take me and want me, I'm going to be happy and work my hardest and prove to them I'm a good pick.
When I've talked to guys about the draft, they've all told me the one thing they regretted in their draft year was being too uptight. They want me to go out there and work hard every day, which I love to do. It's nice to know I'm doing something I love. I don't want to put too much stress on that. I just want to enjoy my experience. If I work hard every day it's going to take care of itself in the end.

10:48, UK, Sunday 08 April 2012
Three people are dead and two others have been left fighting for their lives after two vehicles collided on the A614 in East Yorkshire.
The horrific crash happened in the village of East Cowick at around 1.30pm on Saturday.
Inspector John Lawson, of Humberside Police, said the collision happened on the Aire and Calder bridge, over the canal.
He said the two drivers were pronounced dead at the scene along with a front seat passenger from one of the vehicles.
"Police are requesting that any witnesses to the collision or that had travelled over the bridge at the time of the collision to contact Humberside Police."
Three ambulances, two paramedic rapid response vehicles and two two air ambulances were part of a huge emergency services operation alongside police and firefighters.
The Yorkshire Ambulance Service said two patients had been airlifted by helicopter from the rural location to Leeds General Infirmary.
Officers said they have serious "life-threatening" injuries.
Cranes were brought in to lift the wreckage of the two vehicles from the bridge.

Overdoses sadly on a daily basis and emergency responders as well as family members haven't been able to react quickly enough to help treat people who are victims of drug abuse.
Philly.com on April 4 reports that Naloxone has been approved in an auto-injector device to reverse the affects of a drug overdose. Naloxone or Narcan as well as Evzio which has been approved by the FDA as an opioid overdose antidote that will now be available for caregivers, family members, the police and emergency medical personnel.
According to Forbes there were 16,651 overdose deaths in the year 2010. This statistic is extreme. So many people died without having this new potentially lifesaving drug device available to prevent many of those deaths. The deaths were the results of accidental or intentional overdoses of opioid drugs such as heroin, hydrocodone, morphine, oxycodone and fentanyl.
Since the FDA has approved this new device and lifesaving treatment those who overdose will have a greater survival change if treated within a one to three hour window. This will definitely save lives and it is a shame that it has taken over four decades to get this treatment approved.
Now police officers, care givers, and laypeople will be able to go through a training session to learn how to administer this device when it is necessary. Hospitals, doctor's offices, ambulances and police officers will be equipped with Naloxone and be at the ready to save people's lives with immediate action. Family members and caregivers who have someone in their charge that has been addicted to drugs will also have to be trained and now will be able to distribute the dose when an emergency situation arises on their watch.
If side effects occur call your physician immediately. All side effects can also be reported to the FDA by calling their toll free number: 1-800-FDA-1088.
This will decrease the number of deaths due to drug abuse and overdoses across the nation!

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Conservation groups have warned the state of Oregon they will sue to reduce logging on state forests to protect nesting trees for a threatened seabird called the marbled murrelet
Cascadia Wildlands, the Center for Biological Diversity, and the Audubon Society of Portland sent the governor and state agencies formal notices Thursday that a lawsuit will be filed if they do not rescind recent decisions to increase clearcut logging on the Elliott, Tillamook and Clatsop state forests.
Last year the state decided to give up a system that protects habitat for threatened and endangered fish and wildlife, and adopt another that avoids killing specific animals. The change allows greater timber production.
Marbled murrelets spend most of their lives at sea, but nest in old-growth trees near the coast.

This tutorial will walk you through the configuration of your server's DNS resolvers in WHM in this article and the companion tutorial as part of our WHM 11 setup series. Your server's configuration must have at least two valid DNS resolvers to function properly. The use of incorrect resolvers will severely impact your VPS server's performance and result in additional DNS-related downtime sessions.
Under "Networking Setup", choose "Resolver Configuration" where we will edit the file called "resolv.conf". This is where Linux systems usually store their resolvers. Here it's easy to edit. You can see on the following screen where you can enter at least two resolvers and an optional third. Be sure to confirm with your host provider which IP addresses to use so as to not slow down your VPS server's functionality. You may also find that your hosting provider has automatically configured your resolvers and this may not be a setting you need to change. If changing this information, you should receive a confirmation message that the resolvers have been successfully set up.

Ask yourself how different is an enculturated ape's use of human language from that of an exceptional dog like Fellow or parrot like Alex?
(And speaking of exceptional, what is the variability in apes performance? One of the remarkable facts of human language acquisition, is that it is very uniform across a wide range of children and experiences. This may reflect the much less genetic variability of humans in contrast to other large primates.)
Finally what we can begin to speculate on what kind of genetic changes might have occurred to evolve language in concert with evolving culture. (See recent reports in News and the old Limber, 1982 ).
Here are some additional comments and resources.

- Company: Brooks Brothers
- Price: $75
- Official Site: BrooksBrothers.com
- Release Date: Out Now
A power suit is nothing without a quality dress shirt underneath. This Brooks Brothers spread collar shirt from the company's Black Fleece collection is made of pure cotton broadcloth with mitered cuffs, side gussets and a locker loop at the back neck. On sale for just $75, you might want to consider bulking up your wardrobe by investing in a few. You'll be able to dress like Gordon Gekko without having to liquidate companies, steal information or punch Bud Fox in the face. You may even want to kick in an extra $10 to get it monogrammed (somewhere discreet). We typically wouldn't recommend it, but your recently unemployed buddy may need a friendly reminder to stay out of your closet.
The entire Black Fleece collection, designed by Thom Browne, is a real star among the countless designer partnerships in mainstream fashion. It references archival Brooks Brothers clothing, reinterpreted for customers with a more contemporary style. Everything is made from high-quality fabrics in classic, neutral colors like gray, charcoal, navy, camel, and blue. This shirt is unique not because it makes a revolutionary fashion statement or employs unusual materials, but because its individuality lies in the way a well-crafted dress shirt with a perfect collar brings together an outfit. Brooks Brothers plans to bring other designers into the fold in coming years, so you can keep counting on them for continued innovation and quality.
Brooks Brothers dug into the archives for Black Fleece and reproduced some old-school fabrics, many of which are synonymous with durability. Think madras plaid, thornproof wool, flannels, wool herringbone, worsted wool with silk organza overlay, cashmere argyle knit, and camel hair. Provided you care for this dress shirt properly, we expect that it will keep you looking sharp for years to come.

'Top Chef Masters,' Season 2, Episode 8: TV Recap
This week's "Top Chef Masters" dealt with gods and deities. There were more than a few sacrifices, including an injury to Marcus' back, which forced him to move a little slower during the second day of the elimination challenge.
This week's Quick Fire seemed pretty hard, until I realized some wily chefs found a loophole. In a taste test challenge, chefs were presented with sauces and asked to tick off ingredients that they tasted. Susur, a self-proclaimed sauce tasting master, starts out confidently. After the other chefs are eliminated spelling bee-style, it's down to Rick and Susur. They're given a lobster sauce, which they both recognize.
So, here's the question: do the chefs try to actually identify the flavors or do they mentally run down a checklist of recipes and call out likely ingredients? We're guessing maybe the second option: Susur loses the challenge when he calls out garlic. "How the hell you make lobster sauce without garlic?" he says.
For the elimination challenge, the chefs draw knives to find names of Greek gods. Marcus gets the god of war, Ares. Susan draws Aphrodite. Rick loves that he gets Hades. Jonathan will channel Poseidon via Disney's "The Little Mermaid." And Susur…Sigh. He gets the easiest god of all, Dionysus, god of wine.
But in this week's installment of "What the Hell is That? with Susur Lee," he's never heard of Dionysus and isn't sure how to interpret a Dionysian dish. Now we're no Tom Colicchio or anything, but we'd start with lots and lots of red wine. After fretting that he doesn't know how to proceed, he decides that "the myth doesn't matter."
The rest of the chefs playfully leap into their challenges.
Our favorite idea came from Marcus, who taps his Ethiopian heritage for his raw food dish. During wartime in Ethiopia, one has to cook without making smoke to alert the enemy, he explains as a starting point for his beef and salmon tartare. Rick also had a good old time, cackling that his devil god must stare at the root vegetables who are grown in his lair, so he garnishes his swordfish with root vegetables, including crimson potatoes. Susan, waxing poetic about the love goddess, makes a coconut jam that sounds amazing and pairs it with fried eggs for a fertility motif. Jonathan Waxman turns to scallops for his god of the sea dish.
On the second day of cooking, the chefs are lined up for a surprise twist. They brace for something awful… and in comes a birthday cake in honor of Jonathan's birthday! It's in the shape of the French Alps, since that's where he traditionally spends his birthday. He gets the warm fuzzies, he says, and we do, too.
Susur wakes up on the second day with a revelation. It's about a Greek god! Make it Mediterranean, add some wine, some good feta cheese and some good olive oil. Somewhere in Brooklyn, we make an emoticon face. :/
Susur presents a pork loin marinated in Chinese wine, with orange and carrot glaze. The critics laud his food, as usual. "I think Susur had never heard of this god," Gael Greene says, quite perceptively. Jonathan's scallops are overseasoned and his plate is deemed "too messy," although the mess was intentional.
Marcus's dish pleases but (again) is critiqued for having too much going on. "It was possibly too intellectual," Jay says.
Rick's simple concept takes the highest honors, although he is nearly derailed by a dry swordfish. But the vegetables were so good that Gael Greene forgives the overcooked fish. He wins with 18 stars, with Marcus coming in second place.
Susan's dish is delectable, especially the coconut jam, the critics agree. But they're left wondering if making an egg sandwich is not enough of high bar for the cooking show. Can someone who serves an egg sandwich win Top Chef Masters? No. And so the very lovely Susan packs her knives, having earned $32,500 for her charity.

There was once upon in my life when I had an obsession with cookbooks… I bought cookbook after cookbook because there simply wasn't a cookbook I didn't think was uninteresting. I had a list of cookbooks I absolutely must have, and at least a cookbook I was reading cover to cover. There were cookbooks everywhere at home; beside the bed, under the bed, in the living room, in the kitchen, in the spare rooms (I have more than one), and even in my mother's house in Penang.
And I was of course too busy reading cookbooks to actually cook from them… although there were some recipes I wouldn't have tried if not for those cookbooks. I went through a Claudia Roden phase, so I cooked Middle Eastern for awhile, and a Madhur Jaffrey phase when I tried quite a few lamb recipes. I am now re-discovering Donna Hay, an interest rekindled not by her cookbook but her iPad apps… but that's another story – suffice to say my favourite dessert recipe is her lemon meringue pie.
But for all my cookbooks and bouts of experimentation, the dish I cook most often is A-B-C soup. I don't know why it's called A-B-C soup – it's what my mother and aunts call it – but just maybe, it's because it's as easy as A-B-C to make. Sometimes it's the only dish my daughter is fed with, and sometimes she is fed that weekend after weekend – especially when I am too guilt-ridden to feed her fast food and hawker food and too busy (ok, lazy) to cook anything more elaborate. The best thing about A-B-C soup is it's not too shabby – it is wholesome and nutritious, and tastes good. And if the kid refuses to eat the potatoes and carrot, you can always mash them up, add some minced pork and onions, and make cutlets.
There really isn't a recipe to this soup; it's basically boiling together meat, potatoes and carrots. I like to use pork spare ribs or chicken, and I also usually add a big onion, two tomatoes and half a teaspoon of black/white peppercorns. I usually use about 500g pork ribs or half a chicken, with 2-3 potatoes and a big carrot. I then boil everything with about half a pot of water for about an hour or so – bring the water to a boil, and then add the ingredients. Then, turn down the heat and let it simmer slowly till the meat is tender, and the potatoes and carrots soft. Serve hot with rice, and a saucer of light soy sauce and cut chilli padi for the meat.

We're going to give you a leg up on your fall boot shopping. This pair of riding boots ($310, on sale) from Elizabeth Anne Shoes may look innocuous, but they're way more baddass than you'd think. Sewn into the inside of the shaft is a pocket that will fit your phone, cash, ID, and a few credit cards. That's right, you can ditch the bulky purse and forget using the butt pockets on your jeans to hold your phone (which ultimately leads to it falling into a public toilet) because your boots will do all the work for you. The price tag seems a little steep until you realize that you'll be purchasing one less handbag this fall!

79-year-old John Fratangelo of Rockville, Maryland and an employee of Georgetown University has become the first patient to be treated on the newly installed second CyberKnife at Georgetown University Hospital. Mr. Fratangelo has a three centimeter tumor on his lower spine that has been causing him great pain for the past several weeks, so on July 11 he came to Georgetown to start his radiation treatments with the CyberKnife. The tumor is a recurrence of a GI cancer that was diagnosed in 2003. The cancer spread to a different part of his spine in 2004 when he had radiation treatment with CyberKnife #1.
"The CyberKnife treatment was absolutely painless. Any pain I had, I brought in with me," said Mr. Fratangelo. My doctor says that first CyberKnife treatment is doing its job. My tumor has shrunk. This treatment I had today should do the same thing to this second tumor. If I hadn't been able to have this, I don't know what I would have done. "
Mr. Fratangelo's treatment took about one hour and was painless and bloodless.
"Mr. Fratangelo's only other option, if you can call it an option, was to have surgery to remove his pelvis which is a radical and traumatic surgery, and is rarely performed for these reasons," said Gregory Gagnon, MD, radiation oncologist and medical director of the CyberKnife program.
"Mr. Fratangelo has already had prior standard radiation so another round of standard radiation was not an option either," said Dr. Gagnon.
"The standard radiation I had was four sessions, four days a week for six weeks. With CyberKnife, it's one hour on three different days."
The new CyberKnife is the fourth generation of the machine since its invention at Stanford University. Georgetown University Hospital got the first commercially available CyberKnife back in 2002 and since then, physicians and physicists have been pleasantly surprised with the clinical results they've seen in patients with everything from lung, brain and spine tumors to cancers of the pancreas, ovaries, breast and prostate; virtually anywhere in the body.
"This allows us to treat cancer basically anywhere in the body with very little discomfort to the patient and very few side effects, " said Gregory Gagnon, director of the CyberKnife program.
CyberKnife's robot uses a crossfire technique to deliver as many as 1400 highly pinpointed and concentrated beams of radiation, at virtually any angle, to the patient's tumor. Because of the way it's delivered, unlike traditional radiation, CyberKnife radiation largely avoids normal tissue and so is unlikely to harm nearby healthy tissues or organs.
Other benefits to the patient include no pain, no blood loss, no sedation, no scalpel, no recovery time and very few side effects. Studies have shown that stereotactic radiosurgery is also less expensive and results in fewer complications than traditional brain and spine surgery and that its outcomes are comparable to surgery for malignant brain tumors.
On the day of treatment, the patient lies on a table and wears a custom-fit mesh facemask or body immobilizer. There are pedestal-like x-ray cameras, or image detectors, on each side of the patient. The image detectors receive signals from ceiling-mounted x-ray sources that tell the robotic arm where to move. The robotic arm, which can move in six degrees of freedom, then moves the linear accelerator, which delivers the radiation to the tumor with the precision of less than a millimeter. After a treatment that lasts about an hour per session, the patient can get up and go home the same day.
"The new CyberKnife is a much-needed tool here at GUH. We currently treat about 450 patients a year with the first CK. This will allow us to expand our services to more patients and to treat other forms of cancer as well as to conduct studies in the areas of prostate and breast cancer," said Dr. Gagnon.
The first CyberKnife will be upgraded so that it is identical to the second machine.
In time, Mr. Fratangelo would like to return to his part-time job in the Facilities department at Georgetown University. "I am excited and optimistic about getting this CyberKnife treatment and I hope this buys me good, quality time with my family. I have seven grandchildren and I thank the good Lord for every extra minute I can get with them," Mr. Fratangelo said.

Germany's Mid-Cap Market Outshines Larger DAX
Frankfurt's Mid-Cap Index, the MDAX, is outshining its larger counterpart the DAX.
The MDAX has soared to a year-to-date high of 11,177, gaining 24% since January 2012. The DAX, on the other hand, seems unable to cross the 7,200 mark–its highest this year.
The German MDAX index, which consists of 50 mid-cap companies, now needs to gain just 4% to reach its all-time high of 11,494.
The MDAX's chances of breaking its own record are good. Thanks to the companies listed, the MDAX may become the first major index in Germany and much of Europe to top its all-time high mark from summer 2007.
"The MDAX is driven by three strong draft horses," Commerzbank analyst Aachim Matzke said, naming European Aeronautic Defense & Space Co, Continental and Lanxess as the three companies driving the index higher. These three stocks, it seems, are proving nigh on irrestistible to investors.
Since lows of $26.45 in March this year, shares in EADS climbed to a high of €31.20 early in August. They are trading at around €30.17 today.
Shares in Continental have risen from €60.85 in June to €80.90 currently. And Lanxess has seen its share price rise from €46.63 towards the end of June, to €57.15 today.
The three companies represent around 25% of the MDAX's weighting and their performance strongly influences the index.
EADS, representing 10.5% of the index, is benefiting from a weak euro which has helped the company become more competitive against archrival Boeing. Ironically, Continental and Lanxess have performed well on hopes of two companies leaving the MDAX to join DAX in September, when stock exchange operator Deutsche Boerse reviews the composition of its indices.
The MDAX index is also gaining support from stocks such as Brenntag, Kabel Deutschland and MTU, which have recorded significant gains since the beginning of 2012. Real estate stock such as Gagfah, Deutsche Wohnen and GSW Immobilien are also up as companies profit from rising rents and low interest rates in Germany.

JHeadstart 11.1.1 Technical Preview Now Available
By Steven Davelaar on Mar 05, 2009
Oracle JHeadstart 11.1.1 Technical Preview is now available for download. Customers who own a JHeadstart supplement option license can download it from the Consulting Supplement Option portal.
An evaluation version of JHeadstart 11.1.1 is not yet available. We plan to make an evaluation version available in the fall of calendar year 2009.
In addition to many small enhancements, the following features have been added in JHeadstart 11.1.1:
- New Application Level in Application Definition Editor: In previous versions, a project typically contained multiple JHeadstart application definition files, that were edited and generated separately. In release 11, these application definition files have been renamed to service definition files, and can be edited and generated all together in the application definition editor. The editor has a new top level application node that shows all services. The application node contains a number of properties that were previously found at the service level, but had to be the same accross all services anyway.
- Generation of (un)Bounded Task Flows: JHeadstart now uses the new ADF 11 controller facilities that extend the JSF controller functionality. For each top-level group a bounded task flow is generated. Through the new metadata element Group Parameters you can specify specific custom taskflow parameters. By default, the generated task flows already contain a number of parameters to maximize reuse of the task flows. For example, you can set parameters to query or set a specific row as the current row or to start the flow in "create mode" (useful in wizard-style layouts).
- Ability to Generate Page Fragments and (Dynamic) Regions: Through the new properties (Default) Group Usage and (Default) Group Region Access you can specify how groups are generated. You can continue to generate the groups as stand-alone pages like in version 10.1.3. However, to increase the reusability of your groups, it is recommended to generate them as page fragments within a region. You then have the option to generate one common UI shell page, with all group regions displayed through a dynamic region ("One-page application"), or to generate separate group-specific UI Shell pages.
- Enhanced Menu Generation: The generated menu now uses the new ADF 11 XML Menu Model, which greatly increases the flexibility of the menu generation, both in terms of menu structure as well as menu layout. The menu structure is specified in an XML file, and is
separated from the layout of the menu. Using the ADF Faces NavigationPane or Tree elements included in the page templates that ship with JHeadstart, you can configure how the menu is displayed. The menu structure is now integrated accross services as well, allowing you to create a true application-level menu. Through the new application-level property Content First-Level Menu Tabs with allowable values "Base groups current service", "All services", and "All base groups" you can determine which levels of the menu are shown with group pages, and whether menu items of different services are "merged" into one menu level.
If the declarative properties are not sufficient, you can use custom Velocity templates for the generation of the XML menu model files to easily generate menu structures that introduce new intermediate menu levels, effectively "hiding" the underlying structure of services and groups.
- Support for Page Templates: JHeadstart ships with sophisticated sample page templates. You can use these default templates, or create your own based on one of the sample templates. Using the new Page Template and Region Template properties you can specify which template is used by the generated page (fragments). You can even make the page templates dynamic, JHeadstart will then generate a drop down list to switch page templates which allows you to change the page template used by a page at runtime. This might be useful in prototyping situations where you you want to evaluate different page designs with end users.
- Enhanced Support for Deeplinking: Through a new item display value groupLink and associated new property Link Group Name, you can now declaratively set up taskflow calls between groups in any service. Using the new Item Parameters element, you can specify parameters that should be passed into the taskflow of the called group. For example, in the employees group, you can deeplink to the Jobs group, showing the job details of the current employee, by passing the JobId of the current employee as parameter. You can choose whether you want to display the called group in a popup window, or in the base window replacing the calling group. Using group taskflow parameters, that are referenced by the Insert/Update/Delete allowed properties you can easily show the Jobs form page in read-only mode, when deep-linked, and in editable mode when called through the menu.
- Easy Reuse of Groups using a Group Region: In version 10.1.3, group regions were introduced to provide more control over the layout of detail groups that are displayed on the same page as the master group. In version 11 we have significantly extended the functionality of this concept. By checking the new checkbox property Include as ADF Region, you can select any group from any service to be displayed on the page of the group owning the group region. In other words, the group region is now the key concept to reuse a group across your application. You can reuse the same group in many pages by including it as a group region. Through the new child element Group Region Parameters, you can specify parameters that should be passed into the taskflow of the group. For example, using these new concepts it becomes trivial to have one group "Employees" that is used to generate a top-level page with just employees, and reuse that same group as child group under the Departments group to generate a master-detail page with department and its employees. By using group query bind parameters property, that reference taskflow input parameters, you can implement the "master-detail" synchronization. By using additional task flow parameters, you can hide the "DepartmentId" item, the search area, the Save and cancel buttons in the employees group when used as child of the Departments group.
- Support for Model-based LOV's: ADF Business Components 11 has extensive support for list of values. Using JHeadstart you can choose to use these new model-based LOV's, or the existing web-tier JHeadstart LOV's. When running the "New Jheadstart Service Definition" wizard you can choose which LOV style you want to use. When choosing model-based LOV's, JHeadstart will auto-generate View Accessors and List-of-Values definitions in the View Objects, based on the view links that exist between the view objects. You can choose whether the View Accessors are based on separate auto-generated read-only View Objects or on the existing entity-based view objects. When choosing read-only View Objects, you can choose to create the view accessors based on a shared application module instance, which allows you to reuse the LOV queries across user sessions, which is useful for static reference tables.
- LOV Groups Reusable Accross Services: It is now possible to create an LOV item that uses an LOV group that resides in a different service.
- Ability to generate skin switcherThrough a new application-level property, you can generate a drop down list to switch between all skins registered in trinidad-config.xml at runtime.
- Enhanced Template Editing: The templates tab of the JHeadstart Application Definition Editor is now context-sensitive. You will only see the templates that apply to the node selected in the tree navigator. Furthermore, you can now create and modify custom templates within the application definition editor. On the Templates tab, you can change the file name of the default template, and when you tab out the modified file name field, a dialog pops up that asks for confirmation to create a custom template based on the default template. When you confirm this action, the custom template will be created, and you can edit it directly in the application definition editor, in a new area at the bottom of the templates tab.
- JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator: This utility allows you to reuse Oracle Forms .fmb files to create ADF web applications. The utility creates ADF Business Components based on the blocks, LOV's and Record Groups defined in the form. It also creates a JHeadstart Application Definition file which allows you to generate fully functional web pages based on the form definition. The PL/SQL logic is extracted and displayed as documentation nodes into the Application Definition. The Application Definition Editor includes an option to move the PL/SQL logic to the database. This utility is still lacking some functionality and has not yet proven itself in a real customer project. We invite you to test the JFG and report your findings to us. See the chapter "JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator' in the JHeadstart Developer's Guide, section "Troubleshooting" for more information on how to send us your feedback. This utility replaces the JHeadstart Designer-Forms Migrator which is no longer available in this release.

SAN DIEGO -- Over 75
performance ensembles and studios helped the Celebrate Dance Festival
mark its tenth anniversary over the last weekend in August, bringing
everything from strict Vaganova ballet to solid hip-hop, salsa and
tango to jazz and tap, Irish step dancing to Balinese dance, and
all varieties of modern dance -- from local groups to New York export
Ellis Wood -- to Balboa Park. Presented by Eveoke Dance Theater,
the festival boasted workshops and demonstrations, several outdoor
stages, and endless performances in the large Casa del Prado Theatre.
And it was all free.
San Diego hosts four
or five strong modern dance companies that produce some solid, intriguing,
and enjoyable work. The problem with having so few established companies,
however, is that in the course of a season, one might catch the
same piece several times. Repeated viewings can be effective and
valuable with the right work, but this scarcity of the local scene
also makes the arrival of something new and fresh, like the festival
offering from Ellis Wood Dance, much appreciated.
The Ellis Wood hour
(each company at the festival performed for a maximum of 60 minutes)
began with "Lila Goes Down," a fierce work, set to music by punk
band Four Hero, that exploded with flying limbs and flying bodies.
The dancers of the all-female company used their hair as weapons,
whipping it in all directions while their bodies undulated in unison.
The non-stop energy channeled something between an all-night rave
and an all-night orgy.
"Lila Goes Down," the
choreographer said from the stage before the next piece, is a "blast
of female energy, power, and sensuality," intended to depict women
as strong and in control of their bodies and their lives.
I was shocked -- and
thrilled -- to see the choreographer explain her work.
The previous weekend
I'd brought my mother to a dance performance. She enjoyed the show
but said she wished that an explanation had been available to assist
the audience in interpreting the work. My mom is a very intelligent
woman. She can create and find her own meaning in art. But she doesn't
always want to. If a choreographer is trying to say something, she
would like to have at least a hint about what it is. Some insist
that dance is what one makes it, that there is no fixed definition,
no one right way to see it, no single story that is told. They hold
that each person will view dance differently, based on her or his
own personal experiences, and that every interpretation is a correct
interpretation. This argument is completely valid. Yet I also find
that I become more engaged with dance that comes with descriptions
and explanations of context, history, and intention. This does not
prevent one from creating a personal account of what was seen; yet
it can inform the way the dance is viewed. More important, it makes
the dance accessible for those not used to finding meaning in abstract
art, particularly in dance. My mom -- who has grown to be a fan
of modern dance -- would have valued the insight Wood provided to
her work. It didn't take the mystery away. Rather, it was as though
the choreographer were letting the audience in on a secret, and
we were more closely connected as a result.
Next Wood presented
an excerpt from a larger work-in-progress, "Hurricane Flow," which
will ultimately consist of four solos representing four elements:
air, fire, earth, and water. The Fire solo, created for the festival,
was performed by the sultry Christine Willis. Appropriately dressed
all in red, Willis embodied a flame -- bouncing softly on the floor,
spinning frantically on her feet, pulling violently at her long
hair, and sinking back to the floor, all to a steady hypnotic beat,
before extinguishing herself with exhaustion.
The third piece presented
by the company was the first eight minutes of a 60-minute work,
"Pignut," named after a savory hickory treat found in the eastern
United States. The Dance, Wood said, is a "female 'Lord of the Flies,'"
her take on the 1954 William Golding novel. Taking the stage once again, this time prior
to the piece's presentation, Wood described it as a commentary on
what happens to a society that is headed in the wrong direction.
The pignuts -- which sat in a pile on stage -- represented, she
said, that which pulls out the worst in human nature. Each performer
who encounters the pignut reacts to it in a different way and for
each one, it brings out a deeper, darker side. The dancers brought
their own thoughts and meaning to the concept. With this knowledge
in hand, the ensuing piece became that much more personal. No longer
were we watching dancers acting out a story; we were seeing these
women actually reveal their own dark sides.
Dressed in black, the
women fought for possession of the pignuts, and, upon gaining it,
used the newfound power to subjugate the others. Greed and jealousy
infused the piece, and an air of panic and despair hung over the
stage. Desperation led to frantic struggles, and mistrust quickly
divided the ensemble, leaving each woman on her own. What made the
movement effective in conveying these ideas was that the struggles
did not seem choreographed. The women fighting for the pignuts really
fought for them, and those trying to keep them away tried in vain
to honestly keep them away. These were not mere positions and placements
the dancers were told to hit -- a true confrontation appeared to
be taking place.
Finally, the company
presented "Island Solutions," a work commissioned by a theater in
Germany to be a site-specific piece for that theater. Relocating
a site-specific work to a different site essentially makes an entirely
new work. The movement, costuming, and lighting allowed the piece
to hold its own in this San Diego space, yet clearly something was
lost in the transfer. Projecting from a single hand-held stage light,
a beam created mysterious tones with huge shadows on the back of
the stage which the dancers played with in their structured improvisations,
moving toward and away from it, basking in the light and then fleeing
from it as if to escape or hide. The title was given by the commissioning
theater and Wood interpreted it by seeing each of her dancers as
distinct and independent islands. The challenge, then, was to allow
for the individuality of each dancer to come out while bringing
them all together in a cohesive whole, thus the solution to the
problem of the islands. Part of Wood's solution to this challenge
was in the costumes. Each dancer contributed creative input into
her costume, submitting certain styles, colors, and fabrics to the
designer so that each outfit emerged as an elaborate, individualized
construction which, when the ensemble came together as a group,
conveyed quite the colorful picture.
Ellis Wood Dance's trip
across the States was a welcome addition to Celebrate Dance. The
troupe joined a collection of San Diego-based companies which presented
provocative and polished performances featuring some very talented
dancers. San Diego Dance Theater bid farewell to longtime (20 years!)
member Faith Jensen-Ismay with a tender solo on a stool. Jensen-Ismay
left the company to pursue her own work with her Mojalet Dance Collective,
which here presented "Movin' On," an hour-long look at the life
of Joe Tezak, a champion wrestler who suffered a freak spinal cord
injury which left him wheelchair-bound. Tezak performed in his wheelchair
in several touching duets.
Butterworth Dance Company
presented, among several other pieces, "Binary," a stunning duet
between Rayna Stohl and James Ellzy, and "Skewed," a take on Bach
that alternated between traditional interpretation of the music
and silly comic gestures. A highlight of the last day of the festival
was McCaleb Dance's "La Rumorosa," a haunting work demonstrating
incredible control, strength, and endurance from the four remarkable
dancers. It is a piece I have seen several times this year, yet
one that is endlessly fascinating, becoming more polished with each
performance. The dancers leap into each other's arms without warning,
fling themselves to the ground, and climb all over each other, but
all with the force of a whisper. It is an intense, patient work
that commands the audience and owns the stage. It is one of the
most engaging works of dance I have ever seen.
The festival brought
dance of every kind to San Diego free of charge. Ellis Wood jumped
up on stage to talk to the audience about her inspiration for her
work and the processes she used to create it. Celebrate Dance was
successful not only because of the mere magnitude of the production
or the sheer number of groups presented or even the quality of the
dance. Rather, it was successful because it made dance accessible.
Financially accessible, intellectually accessible, and emotionally
accessible. The number of people in attendance suggested that people
really want to see dance and love to watch it. Maybe we just need
to make it a little easier.

After rolling the Saints twice in the past two seasons for 782 total yards and 67 points, the San Francisco 49ers will face a far different defense in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday.
In a matchup of two teams that eventually hope to be in line for first-round playoff byes and home-field advantage in January, the Saints and 49ers will at the least be vying for a potential tie-breaking edge.
This time, the Saints, who dropped a 36-32 decision to the 49ers in an NFC divisional playoff game in 2011 and were pounded 31-21 last November in the Superdome, hope to return the favor against the Niners offense.
After the worst season statistically in NFL history a year ago, the Saints rank seventh in total defense under first-year coordinator Rob Ryan. They allow 317.6 yards per game and are fifth in scoring defense at 18.1 per contest.
They also rank third against the pass at 199.9 yards per game.
Niners coach Jim Harbaugh has noticed the transformation.
"I think that, as always, the job you do speaks for itself and (Ryan's) coached a lot of guys," Harbaugh said, noting the many injuries the Saints have had on that side of the ball. "He has coached a lot of guys, put them in a lot of different positions, and they understand what he's trying to get done as a coordinator of the defense.
"That speaks volumes when you can teach that many people to play that many different spots and roles. That speaks volumes right there."
GETTING IT DONE: Through nine games, the Saints are the only team in the NFL to rank in the league's top 10 in four key statistical categories — including scoring offense and scoring defense.
The Saints rank second in scoring at 29.4 points per game and fifth in scoring defense at 18.1 points.
They also rank in the league's top 10 in total offense and total defense. They're second in offense (422.7 yards per game) and seventh in defense (317.6).
Only two other teams — the Texans and Bengals — rank in the top 10 in both offense and defense. The Texans are ninth (offense) and first (defense), while the Bengals are eighth (offense) and fourth (defense) — but come up short in scoring and scoring defense.
PRACTICE REPORT: Only two players didn't practice Thursday for the Saints as safety Kenny Vaccaro and tight end Benjamin Watson missed a second day of work with concussions.
LB Curtis Lofton (hamstring/ankle) and DE Akiem Hicks (back) worked on a limited basis after being sidelined Wednesday. TE Jimmy Graham (elbow/foot) and DE Cameron Jordan (ankle) were also limited.
FS Malcolm Jenkins (hamstring), SS Roman Harper (knee) and DE Tyrunn Walker (knee) had full participation once again.
For the 49ers, DT Ray McDonald (ankle) and TE Garrett Celek (hamstring) didn't practice, while DT Justin Smith (shoulder), S Eric Reid (concussion), TE Vernon Davis (concussion) and WR Mario Manningham (knee) were limited. Reid is a former LSU standout.
DIALING UP 500: When the Saints set a franchise record with 625 total yards in Sunday's 49-17 belting of the Dallas Cowboys, it was the 15th time they had rolled up 500 yards under Sean Payton since he took over in 2006.
The Saints, who topped last week's total with 626 yards in a playoff game against the Detroit Lions following the 2011 season, are 11-4 when they pick up 500 yards or more.
Their other 600-yard performance came the week before the win over the Lions when they pounded the Carolina Panthers for 617 yards — helping them set an NFL single-season record with 7,474 yards.
LIGHTS OUT?: The 49ers will make their third visit to the Superdome in the past 12 months, but the first since the lights went out early in the third quarter of their 34-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3 — causing a 34-minute delay.
On a conference call Wednesday, a reporter jokingly asked Harbaugh, whose team rallied from a large deficit after the power outage, if he had checked on the electricity for Sunday.
Harbaugh replied: "No, I haven't. … Have you? I guess we've got some duties today."
Payton was asked about the electrical problem as well.
"I was there, and a lot of people pinned it on me," he cracked. "I still don't know what happened."

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse.
Rates of prescription drug abuse in the United States are high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.
Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.
In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposal of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards.

Everyone on board a Virgin Australia flight got a big surprise when the cast of "The Lion King" decided to sing to them. Fans love this movie and many have also seen it in the theater. On April 2, LA Times shared about this great experience. It looked like a really fun time.
This was the cast of the Australian production of the show. Buyi Zama, who plays Rafiki, was the leader of it all and they performed the song "Circle of Life" from the famous movie. They are playing to sold out crowds right now and that is pretty impressive. Everyone on this flight got a free performance and had no idea what was going on.
Everyone else on the plane seems a bit surprised and they are all just watching them trying to figure out what is going on. It was really nice of the cast of "The Lion King" to do this for everyone on the flight. Hopefully other groups will pick up on the idea and this will happen more often.

In 1988, Professor John Boys set up a magnetic field that transferred an electric charge across two points without the need for hard wiring. The commercial implications were obvious, though the timetables were not. Later he was joined by Associate Professors Grant Covic and Udaya Madawala and eight of their students in developing what is now called HalolPT technology.
Some 23 years later, the technology is so far advanced that it can recharge an electric car battery from more than twice the distance sought by car makers. Drivers will park over a plate and return to a totally recharged battery. The system even sends the driver a message when the charging is complete.
The task to sell the system to the car makers has been taken on by Qualcomm, which paid $70M for the opportunity and the IP. Unfortunately for Qualcomm, the world has one less electric car maker as last week once promising Aptera decided to shutter its doors.

Is it possible to apply for a graduate program in theoretical physics without having a bachelor's degree in physics or mathematics? I'm completely self-taught. I'm half way through Jackson electrodynamics and Peskin QFT. These books are taught to students at a graduate level, let's say that I can pass the GRE exam and graduate level examinations. Is it possible that this would substitute for an undergraduate degree?
I agree with the other answers — admitting a student without formal academic background is very risky.
As a first step, I suggest contacting graduate programs asking if they allow non-degree students to take their classes. If so, taking classes as a non-degree student will let you build up a formal academic background and strong recommendation letters in your chosen field, making your case for admission much stronger. And if you're admitted to the PhD program at the same university, you may be able to use the classes you've already taken toward your degree.
Taking classes will also give you a sanity check on your self-assessment. From personal experience, it can be really hard to spot gaps in the knowledge you build from self-study, simply because you don't know enough to ask the right questions.
But once you get your foot in the door, do not just take classes; do whatever you can to get involved in research!
One significant downside to non-degree classes is that you'll almost certainly have to pay for them out of your own pocket.
Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? Maybe not.
A lot will depend on your undergraduate program. If you've done something "related," such as mathematics or physical chemistry or some engineering disciplines, then it will be easier to convince an admissions committee that you have the requisite background. Otherwise, it will be up to you, in your letter statement of purpose, as well as your letter-writers in their letters, to make the case why you should be admitted to a rogram in physics when you don't have a background in the subject (or anything close to it).
This is a big risk for a department, and especially if the department you're applying to is small and therefore needs to be more selective in who they admit. Anything you can do to show that you won't be a risk for them will help your application.
I don't dispute that at all. But you'd be in the minority. Most students coming into grad school think that they can handle any material, and once they're in a class, find themselves completely swamped.
The admissions committee's point of view is this:
If you can address the third point clearly ("why should you pick me") and the first ("I really do know my stuff"), then that will go a long way towards alleviating their concerns. For example, if you can point to independent research projects that would demonstrate your command of the material, that would be even more valuable than course credits.
Yes, I believe it is.
First, depends what you mean by "pass" the GRE. I'd hope that you had very high scores (90th+ percentile) on at least the Quant. and Analytical parts of it, but hopefully all three.
Also, I'd edit your question to be clear that you do have an undergraduate degree already; just not one in physics.
My guess would be that if you find the right program they would be willing to really consider your application favorably if you could provide something like the following list of goodies:
If you can't provide most of a list like this, one might reasonably question why you would want to go on to graduate school in this field.
Depending on the field and department you are thinking of applying to, one piece of evidence that you have independently acquired a strong background in the proposed field of study can be a strong score on the GRE Subject Test in that field.
In computer science, a number of graduate programmes I've looked at recommend this for applicants that don't have a CS degree. For instance, cf. UC San Diego's PhD admissions FAQ: http://www-cse.ucsd.edu/node/195 under "Should I take the Computer Science GRE Subject Exam?"
I do not know for sure to what degree this would apply in Physics.
The answer to your question regarding the GRE is "it will help". You have not specified if it is for a PhD or Master's. However what will count the most is your research experience if you are going for a PhD. If you want to apply to a Master than it will be definitely easier to get accepted with high GRE scores.
Sometimes students with different backgrounds are actually well seen by the department, especially if it is a interdisciplinary one. However you have to substantially prove how you will be able to apply your knowledge into your new field and how this makes you competitive. Students with a different background might provide insights and different perspectives on how to approach research topics.

UO Athletic Communications
Terrance Mitchell has always thrived when he has something to prove.
A three-year starter at cornerback for Oregon, Mitchell developed from a three-star recruit into an honorable mention all-Pac-12 selection as a sophomore.
"I was an underdog coming into Oregon, and I worked my way to starter," Mitchell said. "I just like to open up a few eyes."
When the former Duck announced in January that he'd forgo his senior season to pursue a professional career, he assumed the role of underdog again. But Mitchell never doubted his decision.
"I've always been aware of my ability and I know what I can do," he said.
Since he cleared out his locker at the Hatfield-Dowling Complex, Mitchell has been working hard to show scouts he shouldn't be overlooked. In the past couple of months, Mitchell significantly improved his draft stock. Once projected as a late-round pick when he first opted to go pro, now the former UO cornerback could be taken as early as the third round in this weekend's NFL Draft, according to NFL.com.
Mitchell said his name has been climbing up the big board because he's been training relentlessly. At the NFL Scouting Combine in March, Mitchell impressed scouts by posting the best marks at his position in the three-cone agility drill and 20- and 60-yard shuttle runs. His 4.63 40-yard dash time, however, tied for second slowest among defensive backs.
"After the combine, I wasn't happy with my 40, so I went back and trained to get ready for (Oregon's) pro day. But at the pro day, I messed up my hamstring, so I ran a 4.52," Mitchell said.
Mitchell returned to his hometown of Sacramento, Calif., more determined than ever to refine his breakaway speed.
With guidance from strength and conditioning coaches along with his mentor, NFL Hall of Fame defensive back Ronnie Lott, Mitchell managed to shave valuable fractions of a second off his 40 time. In front of scouts representing the Indianapolis Colts and Oakland Raiders, Mitchell ran a 4.43 40-yard dash at a workout hosted on his former high school field in mid-April. That mark would have placed sixth among cornerbacks at the combine.
That improvement in the 40, along with Mitchell's outstanding marks in the other timed events at the combine, complement film NFL teams will study of Mitchell's productive three years on the field at Oregon.
Mitchell shattered his previous career highs for interceptions (five) and tackles (59) in a season during his 2013-14 campaign. In that season, he tallied the second-most interceptions and passes defended in the Pac-12.
As a redshirt freshman, Mitchell quickly emerged as a strong force in the starting lineup―and he expects it won't be long before he's back on the field competing to start for an NFL squad.
"There's really nothing else to do other than show what I'm capable of, to prove myself," Mitchell said. "My time is going to come, I just have to be ready to play."
Other Oregon prospects to watch this weekend:
De'Anthony Thomas, RB/WR: Although draft experts say he could be the most electrifying offensive player available on the big board, at 5-foot-9 and 174 pounds, Thomas' stature has raised concerns among scouts, according to NFL.com.
The former Duck focused on improving his speed and acceleration while training for the Draft.
Thomas participated in every drill at Oregon's pro day in March, determined to better his stock after running a 4.50-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. He managed to drastically improve that time, clocking in at 4.34―which would have tied for the third-fastest time at the Combine.
The Los Angeles native is listed as a running back, but Thomas said all he wants is an opportunity to prove he's a pro-caliber player.
"I want to get anywhere on the field just to show my ability and that I can play football," he said. "Wide receiver, punt returner, kick returner; I just want to be somewhere on the field so I can make plays."
According to NFL.com, Thomas is the No. 11 running back available in this year's draft and projected to go in the third or fourth round. CBSsports.com ranks Thomas as its 190th overall prospect and a fifth- or sixth-round pick.
Taylor Hart, DL: Like Dion Jordan last year, Taylor Hart is the Ducks' only defensive lineman projected to be selected in the draft. Hart won't go in the first round like Jordan, but he is expected to be a mid-round pick, according to CBSsports.com and NFL.com.
Hart completed a senior season in which he recorded nearly as many tackles (75) in 13 games as he did in his previous three seasons combined (98). The humble Duck led the Oregon defensive line in tackles last season and sacks in the 2012-13 season.
CBSsports.com lists Hart as the 111th overall available draft prospect and expects him to go in the third or fourth round. NFL.com projects Hart as a fourth- or fifth-round pick.
Josh Huff, WR: Oregon's record-holder for single-season receiving yards, and co-leader for receiving touchdowns in a season and career, is projected as a fourth-round pick in the NFL's Mock Draft 6.0. CBSsports.com expects Huff to hear his name called in the fifth round.
Huff led the Ducks' receivers last season in receptions, yards receiving and touchdowns. As a result, Huff earned his second all-Pac-12 honorable mention nod.
Boseko Lokombo, LB: Lokombo was the top performer among linebackers in the broad jump and three-cone drill at the combine.
He also ran a 4.66 40-yard dash to place sixth in his position. But he's been limited in training for the draft due to a shoulder injury and was not able to participate at the Ducks' pro day.
Despite his strong performance at the Combine, Lokombo's medical roadblock has hampered his draft stock, which now sits as a seventh-round pick or priority free agent, according to NFL.com.
Lokombo had 63 tackles, seven tackles for a loss and led the team in quarterback hurries in his final season with the Ducks. Before the start of his senior campaign, Lokombo was drafted 21st overall in the Canadian Football League draft by his hometown BC Lions. If no NFL team shows interest in Lokombo, the Lions would assume his professional rights.
Colt Lyerla, TE: CBSsports.com projects Lyerla as a seventh-round pick or priority free agent due to disciplinary concerns. He's slated as a third or fourth round pick, according to NFL.com.
Expected to be seventh-round selections or priority free agents: S Brian Jackson, S Avery Patterson, DL Ricky Havili-Heimuli, NT Wade Kellikipi, WR Daryle Hawkins

Most fans of Palm Springs history already know that when in town, Albert Einstein used to stay at the famous El Mirador Hotel. But did you know that the actual bar from that historic hotel is still with us?
Yes, you can still drink at the bar from the El Mirador. The same one Albert had.
Here is the tale.
When the El Mirador was in transition of becoming the Desert Hospital in 1972, John Conte (the current owner) thought that the magnificent black cherry wood bar (carved in Sweden especially for the El Mirador) would most likely end up as debris once renovations began. What would a hospital do with a bar, mix martinis? Thus, a new home was found and the El Mirador Hotel bar was saved.
The bar was taken apart and put back together again in a small tavern tucked away in a shopping center in Palm Desert. In later years the place became well known as The Beer Hunter.
When the Palm Desert Beer Hunter closed down the bar was in peril yet again but it found sanctuary; this time in a strip mall dive located at Gene Autry and Vista Chino (currently Palm Springs Tavern). For almost twenty years now but under different names the El Mirador Hotel bar has provided elbo room for the common barfly with little fanfare to its past glory days.
The bar is a treasure off the beaten path and is worthwhile for those nostalgia seekers carrying a thirst.
Appreciate wood work finery and the bar's classic details. Next, place your drink down at the exact same spot where Albert might have placed his.
Repeat as necessary.

Red Raiders' early returns
Tosa East coach Tim Arndorfer offers thoughts on young season
The defending state champion Wauwatosa East boys basketball team is off to a fast start and things are looking even better with the impending addition of sophomore Larry Bradley Jr.
NOW reporter Tom "Sky" Skibosh talked with Tosa East coach Tim Arndorfer about his early season observations.
TS: You are unbeaten in the Greater Metro Conference and 5-1 overall. What are your thoughts on your team's start?
TA: We got an early start as we only had six days of practice before the MPS tournament. We didn't play particularly well in those three games. Our comeback against Arrowhead was a remarkable achievement. We showed flashes of where we can be. I thought our best effort came in the King game, even though we didn't finish well. From then on I felt we were starting to turn a page.
TS: You try not to bring up last year's team to this year's guys. Why not?
TA: So many people are asking, 'Are you going to repeat?' It's a big expectation. I don't want the kids to feel the pressure. This isn't last year's team. We have a different dynamic. We don't have to live up to last year's team to be successful. … I want these guys to leave their own mark.
TS: What have been the positives so far this season?
TA: I've been pleased with the play of Eric Neal; he has really started to figure out his role. I'm happy with the seniors, and how they are leading by example. I'm pleased with how everyone is getting along.
TS: What does your team needs to work on?
TA: We need vocal leadership. Offensively, we're not shooting well. I'm a little disappointed that we're shooting 30 percent from 3-point range. Early on our shot selection was not good. These are all areas we think we can improve on.
TS: Winning the GMC title is your first goal. How difficult a task will that be?
TA: As a coaching staff, we've had to realize our guys are getting every team's best effort. There's a target on our back. That probably explains some of our slow starts. We're focusing on the conference championship. We know we have great teams in the conference and we need to succeed there to win going into our playoff.
TS: How do you see the GMC shaping up?
TA: Menomonee Falls has as much talent as anyone and they will improve once they figure things out. Brookfield East gave us one of the best tests we've had. West Allis Central is lot better than in the past. Brookfield Central is going to be fundamentally sound. Marquette, with Garrett Maloney, is a tough matchup.
TS: This is your second season as a head coach. How is it different from the first?
TA: I think I learned a lot last year, chief among them is patience. I am doing my best not to overreact to some of the early challenges, with our offense in particular. I think knowing how it went - the up and downs - that as long as we stick together as a staff and a team, that we can get through the downs.
TS: How do you feel your team handled the off-the-court distractions of the Larry Bradley Jr. situation?
TA: The team has welcomed him and he has been good working to fit in. Sometimes you expect a highly touted played to come in and run the ship. He hasn't been that way.
TS: Speaking of Bradley, for those who have not seen him play, how would you describe him?
TA: He's got a tremendous amount of skill. His size (6-4) makes him a matchup problem. He handles the ball well, sees the floor better than anyone I can recall in recent memory, at our school anyway. … He is one of those unique players that people will remember when he leaves.

|Idaho scores first, but falls
MOSCOW, Idaho – University of Idaho soccer owned the first 15 minutes against Gonzaga with strong possession and intensity, but lost that mentality and the game with it after surrendering three scores in a 26-minute span in a 3-2 loss.
Idaho (1-2-0) exploded out the gates, controlled possession and went up 1-0 on tremendous build-up when senior Erica Hart cruised up the right sideline and sent a pass in to fellow senior Megan Lopez, who juked a defender and popped a pass across goal to senior Jill Flockhart, who tapped it in at 9:10.
The Vandal celebration was short-lived, because Gonzaga (2-1-0) came right back at Idaho and equalized just six minutes later when Emma Dolcetti took a shot at the top of the 18-yard box that took a deflection of a defender's leg and just past the reach of Idaho keeper Liz Boyden.
"The first 15 minutes, we controlled the game," Idaho head coach Peter Showler said. "The goal came from great passing moves and combination play, but we score the goal and take our foot off the pedal. Nobody stepped up and challenged people to be better on the pitch, and that's what we've got to learn."
Gonzaga kept the pressure on for the remainder of the first half and it paid off at 30:37 when GU's Sila Tuiofea sent in a cross to the far post that found the foot of Ali Ohashi for a one-timer that put the Zags up 2-1. Just before the halftime break, Gonzaga earned a corner and Kellyn Nelson added a third score in a 26-minute span on a header.
Idaho came out of halftime a different team, got numbers forward and played their game. The result was a Meli Cortez volley for her first career score at 68:59 after Amber Pimley intercepted a clearing pass at the top of the 18-yard box. Idaho kept the pressure up and earned several second-half opportunities, but didn't make the final touch to equalize.
"The second half was a different kettle of fish," Showler said. "We got after them, we competed for every first and second ball, we won first and second balls, we played them higher up the field and we created a bit more with great movement and just a bit more determination."
In all, Idaho finished with a 12-10 overall advantage in shots, while on-target attempts were tied at six apiece and the Vandals had a 5-3 advantage in corners. Boyden made three saves for the Vandals, while GU keeper Susan Brown registered four saves and surrendered two scores in 90 minutes.
Showler said that while he is always disappointed to lose, he was encouraged by the way Idaho played for 60 minutes in the game. The key now is to start and finish with that same intensity for a full 90 minutes, especially with a physical, aggressive North Dakota State team coming to the pitch on Sunday.
"I was proud of that second half. I'm never happy to lose, but I'm much prouder of that second half," Showler said. "Now we have to put two of those together. We put that together for 90 minutes and we'll be hard to beat."
Sunday's match at Guy Wicks Field kicks off at 1 p.m. (PT). NDSU enters the match at 1-2-0 after taking a 3-2 victory at Eastern Washington on Friday.
"Today, we always knew it was going to be a battle, and North Dakota State will be no different, because they play that same style and they do it well," Showler said. "It's who's got the biggest heart and biggest determination."
