Sock wins Challenger, cracks Top 100 for first time
Jack Sock wins the USTA Winnetka Challenger and cracks the Top 100 for the first time at No. 84. The 20-year-old is now the fourth-highest-ranked U.S. male and has secured himself a main draw spot in the U.S. Open.
"I have a good amount of confidence. Hopefully I can ride the wave and keep it going," Sock told the Providence Journal after advancing to the second round of Newport. "[Getting directly into the U.S. Open is big for me and big for my self-confidence."

We re-examine the question of what constitutes the physically relevant quantum-mechanical expression for the resistance of a disordered conductor in light of recent experimental and theoretical advances in our understanding of the conducting properties of mesoscopic systems. It is shown that in the absence of a magnetic field, the formula proposed by Büttiker, which expresses the current response of a multi-port conductor in terms of transmission matrices, is derivable straightforwardly from linear response theory. We also present a general formalism for solving these equations for the resistance given the scattering matrix. This Landauer-type formula reduces to g=(e2/h)Tr(tt†), where g is the conductance and t is the transmission matrix, for the two-probe case. It is suggested that this formula provides the best description of the present class of experiments performed in two-probe or multi-probe measuring configurations, and that the subtleties leading to various different Landauer formulae are not relevant to these experiments. This is not because of the large number of channels in real conductors, but is due to the fact that apparently no present experiment probes a "local chemical potential" in the conductor. Certain standard objections to deriving a Landauer-type formula from linear response theory are answered. Applications of this formula to fluctuations in disordered multi-probe conductors are discussed.

Research Overview
I am interested in the ecology, behavior, and conservation of vertebrates. My research focuses on parasite-induced alterations in host behavior, disease transmission, and host physiological/immunological responses to parasites. I use a combination of molecular, physiological, and ecological laboratory experiments along with field research to examine host-parasite interactions in individuals and within/between populations.

MIAMI (AP) - Closing statements are set to begin in a one-time security guard's second trial for the 2007 killings of four people aboard the "Joe Cool" charter boat.
Proceedings are scheduled to continue Wednesday morning. Jurors in the first trial could not agree on whether 21-year-old Guillermo Zarabozo was guilty of murder and other charges, but did convict him on weapons counts. A U.S. District Judge threw out those convictions and ordered a new trial.
Zarabozo is charged with killing the four people and attempting to hijack the vessel to Cuba. Zarabozo faces life in prison if convicted.
Zarabozo claims 37-year-old Kirby Archer tricked him with stories about CIA connections. He claims Archer, who pleaded guilty last year, killed all four people.

Cerkev sv.Jurija
Parish church of St. George rises above the town .
The slope with its church complex was strengthened with flying buttresses, built gradually from the mid-17th to the early 19th centuries. The Baroque hall church began to be built after 1595 in the place of the older Gothic church hallowed in 1344. The church was completed and rehallowed in 1637.
From 1990, the Church of St. George has been subjected to a thorough restoration and presentation by the Regional Institute for the Conservation of Natural and Cultural Heritage Piran in cooperation with the Restoration Center of the Republic of Slovenia and the Parish Office of St. George in Piran.

Views from the spire of St George's Church
For the very best views of the picturesque town of Piran, you must climb the steep steps to the top of the spire of the Church of St George.
The view over Tartini Square from the town walls at the foot of the church is good, but the view from the top is even more breathtaking!
An elderly lady collects a small entrance fee at the front door of the church.
Once you climb to the top (a steep climb), you'll be rewarded with amazing views over Tartini Square and out over the blue Adriatic Sea.
Be aware that the bells chime every 15 minutes and if you're up at the top when they do so it is VERY loud!
Directions: On the hill overlooking Tartini Square - you can't miss it!
- Historical Travel
Church of St. George
Towering over the north end of the city is the Church of St. George, built around the 12th century but the current appearance dates to 1637. If it's open when you stop by, take a look inside at the magnificent white and gold organ, the frescoes on the ceiling and the statue of St. George slaying the dragon.
I didn't see the church museum but we would have been too early to visit as we were there before it opened, it should be open from 11 am- 5pm with a small admission fee. My guide book said it was worth a look, filled with church treasures. The belfry, modeled on the Campanile in St. Mark's Square in Venice, was also not open yet, from 11am-5 pm you should be able to climb up for a view over the city for a small admission fee.
Directions: Head from the tip of the peninsula east, you should be able to see it from there
Church Sveti Jurij (Saint George)
The baroque church Sveti Jurij was probably build in the 12th century and was consecrated in 1344. It is situated on a hill from which you have a nice view on the city and the coast. Next to the church is the Campanile which was build 1608 and is one of the town's landmarks. It's a smaller copy of the St Marco campanile of Venice. From there is a street up to the city wall which you'll see from the church, but it was a hot day and we didn't feel like climbing up anymore! Another path goes along the shore, down to the beach.
Cerkev sv. Jurija campanile and baptistry
Our anglophile friends know it as church of St. George and the belfry. The church, campanile, and baptistry are located on the highest elevation of the Piran peninsula and therefore, are visible from the entire region. In front of the church is a courtyard surrounded by a short wall. The wall is built on the edge of a fascinating sea cliff. The courtyard affords excellent views of Piran, the Adriatic Sea coast, and the Istrian Peninsula of Croatia.
The Gothic architecture of all but the roof of the campanile suggests that it was built about 700 years ago, but in fact it is only 400 years old. The roof definately says early Baroque. This campanile is said to be a copy of the much older San Marco basilica campanile in Venezia. If you look at the San Marco photo in my Venice page, you will notice major differences in the architecture of the two. I accidentally cropped off most of winged angel atop the roof. Forgive me. At any rate this campanile rises high above anything else in Piran.
Directions: The route winds, twists, and climbs. After all Piran is an ancient medieval town. No problem; follow the signs to sv. Jurija.

Baroque Cathedral with Venetian Campanile
Above the compact town centre reigns the St. George Cathedral, which gives the city its special character. It is composed of three distinct constructions laid out in a row. From east to west they are: the church, the belltower and the baptistery.
The Cathedral was probably built in the 12th Century, but no exact data in regard exists. The handsome seventeenth century bell tower was designed by Giacomo di Nodari, a Capodistria artist. It rises sharply between the rounded apse of the church and the baptistery. On the top is the twirling angel of St. Michael, which locals use to predict the weather, according to which way it points.
It was blatantly copied from the St. Mark's campanile in Venice. There is an interesting fact, however, this imitation is older(!!) than the original, which collapsed unexpectedly in 1902, and was rebuilt just 10 years later.
Enter the tower and climb the wooden stairs to the top for an extraordinary view of the City and the Bay of Trieste.
Visiting of the museum beside the Campanile makes it possible to get into the church which is nearly always closed, though it has a fine interior with altars and picture canvases from the Venetian school, a wooden sculpture of St. George Killing the Dragon and St Nicholas, the patron of sailors.

Bell Tower
The Bell Tower, or Campanile in Italian, is a smaller copy of the one in Venice in St Mark's Square. It was built in 1608 and features a bell that dates from the 15th century. It's possible to climb up the tower where the 360 degree views from the top are fantastic and a must do.
Open: 10am-12pm & 4-8pm. Admission: 150SIT.

Piran ( Pirano ) sea shore
This photo which was taken from Cape Madonna, shows cerkev sv. Jurija ( church of St. George ) pirched high atop a hill supported by a massive retaining wall, as well as shorter retaining walls. Retaining walls were built throughout the centuries to prevent the ancient city from being washed into the sea by rain triggered mudslides. Sea cliffs are vulnerable land features that do not take well to being excavated and reshaped for human habitation.
Thousands of wealthy Californians ( in U.S. ) have no understanding of the technology perfected by Slovenes 500 years ago. Their 10 million euro hillside mansions are constantly being destroyed by mudslides, and promptly being replaced free of charge by the sucker American taxpayer ( me ). And then they sit around and boast about how technologically advanced the U.S. is in comparison to the rest of the planet.
As you can probably tell, the grounds of the church provide excellent panoramic views of the city and of all of the short but scenic Slovenijan coast. Most of the short Slovene coast is steep, rugged, and spectacular to the view, although there are definately better beaches for frolicking in the water.
Enjoy Piran; there are few places in the world like it.
Address: Cape Modanna
Directions: No need for directions. You will encounter this spot during your hike around the edge of the peninsula. No need to concern yourself with the cost of taxi or a tourguide.

The baptistery is an octagonal shaped building beside St George's Church and the Bell Tower on top of the hill overlooking the town. It was built in 1650 and features an interior of 17th century furniture and a number of paintings from different periods. It also has a large medieval crucifix that dates from 1370 and a Roman sarcophagus in the centre that dates from the first half of the 2nd century AD. Unfortunately it doesn't look like its possible to enter inside, or at least when I visited, as it looks like its being renovated.

Church of the St. George. The church was built approximately in the 12th century, present figure is from 1637. The tower bell of the church St. George was bulit in 1608 and is a smaller copy of the famous tower bell of St. Marcul in Venice.

The only way, I think, of visiting the interior of the cathedral is by visiting the museum through a small door on the cathedrals southern side. I visited the museum and then the lady attendant showed me a door that lead inside the cathedral. The cathedral has a beautiful interior and is very peaceful. The main feature of the interior is the unusual statue of St George slaying the dragon that dates from the 17th century. The wall paintings are the work of the Venetian painting school. The two big paintings, (Mass in Bolsena and St. George Miracle), date from the beginning of the 17th Century and were painted by Angelo de Coster. More photos can be found on one of my travelogues.

St George's Cathedral exterior & history
This cathedral is perched on a small ridge that rises above the northern side of the town. Its origins date back to the 12th century whilst its current size and shape date back to 1344. It acquired its present Baroque appearance in 1637 and soon after this, supporting walls were built around the cathedral and stone arches built along the northern side from 1663 until 1804. There are still renovation works taking place on the surrounding land when I visited.

Situated on a hill above Piran is the Church of St. George. The Campanile is a copy of the one in St Mark's Square in Venice. The tower wasn't open at the time, but the views from the courtyard of Tartini Square & the Adriatic Sea were well worth the climb up the hill.

Comes with a lot of baggage though and seems to be a magnet for trouble. If he does sign lets hope he keeps his nose clean off the pitch.
Yeah, I have noticed that in the past, Rafa would be able to sort him out, if hes happy and confident to sign Bellamy, Pennant mustn't worry Rafa at all, lol. I think hes a half decent player though and could be a cracking buy if given a decent run in team and encouraged, that's the thing though getting in the team, who, remembering who we have now and supposed to be buying, who ya drop to play him?

This deals with my concerns in this thread:
(According to Yosemite, in the above thread) My hosting environment needs a plugin directory (image-headlines) to be CHMODED to 777 in order to function.
Is this, or is this not a security vulnerability?
-If so, what are possible consequences?
-Can somebody modify/delete my files?
-Exploit my php?
-If so how can I prevent it while maintaining 777?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there
I am glad some one feels as I do towards our furry friends. I own chihuahuas and they are wonderful companions and company would not be with out them, Regarding funerals for pets contact your local citazens advice bureau or Veterinary Clinic or even the SPCA they may be able to help. sounds like you are doing a wonderful job.
I train people to get the best from their showdogs and I assess behaviour and temperament. My reward is seeing folk doing well and improving.
I have a great local boarding kennel and Cattery who let me do this in a very safe enviroment. I will love to correspond with you

Hi folks back again+ the wee dog that was promised to me has proven to a bit of a scam. Is there any GENUINE doggie folk who have or know of a wee dog looking for a very loving home. I have in the past week spent over $200 on getting ready for the new arrival which now wont be coming. I would prefer a Chihuahua/miniature pom puppy . I dont mind male or female . I live in Otago so would be better for all concerned if I heard from someone in the Otago/Southland area. If someone reads this PLEASE can you help? I truly appreciate any help. I will give contact numbers to any replies. I have tried several avenues including NZKC who h ave not heard of the "breeder" that promised me the wee pup. He/She will be coming to a very loving home and wont want for a thing. I am a reg. Vet Nurse and retired Chihuahua breeder. Thanks for any helpNovember 10, 2009 at 8:41 am #501021

We have recently purchased a Moustache parrot, no talking as yet but a piercing shriek. She does seem to be very demanding, we give her lots of treats to keep her quiet. Because of a jealous little dog, Lily cannot be out and about, however she seems happy in her very large cage. Do I need to buy special sunflower seeds to grow for her diet? It would be fun to grow our own feed. She bites me, but is more respectful of the Man of the House. Appreciate any advice on tricks for dealing with a loud bird, thanksNovember 10, 2009 at 8:45 am #501023

Has Bensmum tried Petsonline to look for a wee dog? We were able to rehome a little dog really successfully. Good luck.November 13, 2009 at 9:30 pm #501025
Bensmum, when you look at my avatar, could you find a more handsome dog if you like them that big.
Our Crakka, so named because he IS a little cracker, came from the Humane society.
I know there are are rescue organsations all over the country for various breeds if you want a particular breed., but in my opinion there are a lot of unwanted puppies and young dogs looking for a loving home. How about advertising in your local paper, or ask at your vet's if you can put a notice in their practice. Ours always has pictures of dogs wanting a home. Or even the local supermarket, but first stop, the SPCA. They have all shapes and sizesFebruary 22, 2010 at 9:25 am #501027
I have just read ansypansy's story about her pitbull cross. Sometimes we have to remember that all dogs have the potential to turn the other cheek. last night i was at a celebration for my G. Grandsons 5th birthday. There were three dogs present whish belonged to his aunty. One was a King Charles spaniel but larger than I expected for the breed so may have been a cross. The other two were mother and son and were a terrier type, light tan and white. They all chased each other around the large lawn. The Black and white K.C. being the father, yet their was no resemblance between him and his son. Anyway, I thought I would have a wee play with them but the father began to bark at me and the other two were circling me so I slowly backed away, recognising the pack aggression. The mother came at me when I turned my back and gave a snap at my ankle. There were six children present but the dogs never took any notice of them running around having fun. I was a stranger and should have had more sense. We live and learn.:roll::roll:February 22, 2010 at 3:11 pm #501029
Joybel, yours is the only response i have seen to my article. I wonder if people have no idea where to make a comment.
It is so true, that ALL dogs can be dangerous, and it was proven in your experience. those little dogs are often described as ankle biters, and that's just what it did, snapped at your ankle. Even a small dog can be dangerous.
I have learnt to read the signs with my own dog, in the way he might show a little white in his eye for instance, and this is one of the things I was trying to emphasise, the fact that children are fearless, they do not read danger.
They used to say to get down to the same level as a dog, NEVER would i get down to the same level as a strange dog, my face would be too close.March 20, 2010 at 7:22 pm #501031
This a horse tale. I was watching Animal Planet this afternoon about the SPCA rescuing animals from the most disgusting situations. Today I had my eyes opened when we were taken to a horse auction. The horses had been used by the Pharmaceutical companies to extract Estrogen to be used in female hormone replacement pills.
When they are past their use by date they are auctioned off cheaply to meat companies for slaughter and the meat sent to Europe where horse meat is part of the diet. And we hound the Japanese for killing whales. Two men were out bidding the meat merchants and they paid $10,000 for 25 lovely horses. The money is donated by nice people. The horses were taken to farms where they were fed and pedicured and medically examined before being passed on to caring owners for useful lives and happiness.
If you know of anyone on Hormone replacement let them know that horse estrogen is in it and good horses are slaughtered so they can have a happy Menapause.March 20, 2010 at 9:18 pm #501033
Many years ago I had a friend who was a horse lover, (as I was/am) and she had a job collecting blood from horses – mostly from riding schools and other equine establishments – the hores were treated with respect, and didn't suffer. I went with her, not believing that they would be unhurt, but not one of them was afraid, nor did it show any sign of distress.
In this case the blood went through a centrifuge to extract the serum, but I can't remember what it was used for – other than that it was for medical scienceMarch 24, 2010 at 9:58 pm #501035

Hi Joybel,
Yes horse oestrogen is extracted from pregnant mares' urine to produce Premarin HRT. I was on that for 5 years until I found that out! So now I just have to put up with hot flushes, rather that though, than knowing I was contributing to a any horse suffering on my behalf.
Don't know what horse blood is used for?
CBMarch 25, 2010 at 7:56 pm #501037
I think that when the mare is on heat estrogen builds up in the blood stream and is extracted at that time, Cookybaby. If it is a once a year happening, I am not familiar with these gestation periods, would they keep a horse for months when its keep could cost, not likely. There would be no shortage of victims, I imagine. Why are they not put up for sale instead of being sold at auction to meat buyers?March 25, 2010 at 8:51 pm #501039
A mare will come into season every three weeks unless she is served by a stallion, and this will go on for most of the year, except through the really cold season. The gestation period for a horse is a little under a year, so maybe nature prevents them from coming into season and being served at a time of the year when twelve months later a foal would be born into bad weather. Therefore this procedure that I have never heard of till now, could be done from approx the middle of July when a foal can be born a little earlier than the official birth date of the horse (1st August) right through to March. Therefore there should be no reason to sell them off, whether for horsemeat or any other reason. Surely if a horse had faithfully produce the needed product for so many months of the year it would be entitled to a rest of three or four months.,

St. Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church, located at 552 West End Avenue, on the southeast corner of 87th Street, in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood. It was built in 1903 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
The congregation was founded in 1871 by the Rev. Dr. Ferdinand C. Ewer, as part of the Anglo-Catholic movement. It first met in the former Holy Light Church (New York City) (a parish for the blind), at 437 Seventh Avenue, then in the former St. Paul's Dutch Reformed Church, located at 54-56 West 40th Street and facing what is now Bryant Park, before erecting the present building.[2]
St. Ignatius' graceful English Gothic building was completed in 1902[3] to designs by architect Charles C. Haight, who also built New York's General Theological Seminary. The cruciform interior is made of Roman brick with a Guastavino tile ceiling.
The church is particularly noted for the excellence of its professional choir and for its notable concert series.[4]

I'm looking for a free alternative to manage personal sites (php/apache/mysql support) with the ability to configure DNS.
it should be VERY light weight and optimized.
I tried many panels especially kloxo, and i was disappointed, too many bugs and random crashes of the whole server.
Remember, i dont want any ticketing system or payment system or ability to install CMS by one click. Most important is an upto date product with strong community for regular updates and support.
I tried googling for hours and I came with a big list, so i am confused..

FORT WORTH (February 18, 2014) Oscar Martin Armijo, 24, of Fort Worth, was jailed Tuesday, charged with murder in the death of his girlfriend's 13-month-old son.
His bond is set at $75,000.
Armijo was caring for Angelo Jeovanni Ramirez last month while the toddler's mother was at work and evidently became upset because the boy cried and fussed after his mother left.
The boy known as A.J. died Jan. 15, a day after he was taken to a hospital with breathing problems and other injuries.
Police say the child was beaten or possibly dropped on a floor.

Just perfect! This is a beautiful salad with just a hint of sweetness from the fruit. We just loved it.
Used veggie broth, added cucumbers and mint. I enjoyed all the flavors and made enough to enjoy several times. Thanks! Made for PRMR game.
I love grain based salads...so tasty and easy to put together. The only thing I changed was to use dried cranberries instead of raisins, just for our preference. This is a keeper!

Here's a look at how the previous lone No. 1s fared, including six who won the national championship. Led by National Player of the Year and future Celtic Hall of Famer Larry Bird, Indiana State entered the 1979 Final Four with an undefeated record. But after edging out DePaul in the tournament semifinals (far left), the Sycamores fell to Michigan State and Earvin "Magic" Johnson in front of an estimated TV audience of 20 million. 1|13 Manny Millan/SI 1989 Despite being nicknamed the "Flying Illini" for their overwhelming athleticism, boasting NBA-level talent with the likes of Nick Anderson and Kendall Gill, and having defeated their national semifinal opponent twice during the regular season, Illinois lost to Michigan, the tournament's eventual champion. The semifinal featured 33 lead changes and ended on a put-back by Michigan's Sean Higgins that sealed the Illini's two-point loss. 2|13 Rich Clarkson/Getty Images; John Biever/SI 1990 Jerry Tarkanian's Runnin' Rebels were an offensive juggernaut. In their semifinal, the Rebels rallied from a seven-point halftime deficit to defeat Georgia Tech 90-81, setting up a title tilt with Duke. The championship game went down as the most lopsided ever in a tournament final, with UNLV crushing Duke 103-73. Future NBA #1 pick Larry Johnson scored 22 points, while tournament MOP Anderson Hunt poured in 29 to lead all scorers. 3|13 Manny Millan/SI 1992 In a tournament best remembered for Duke's improbable Regional Final win over Kentucky thanks to Christian Laettner's last-second turn-around jumper, Duke reached the Final Four as the lone No. 1 seed still alive. Coach K's team cruised to victories over Indiana and Michigan to win their second straight national title. Bobby Hurley was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, while Laettner led the tournament in scoring. 4|13 Damian Strohmeyer/SI; Rich Clarkson/NCAA Photos 1994 Corliss Williamson scored 29 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in Arkansas' semifinal win over Arizona to lead the Razorbacks to their first national title game, despite criticism that coach Nolan Richardson's team was too raw and undisciplined. Razorback guard Scotty Thurman drilled a three-pointer with under a minute left in the finale against Duke to seal the first NCAA tournament title for Arkansas. 5|13 John Biever/SI 1995 Riding the late-game heroics of pint-sized guard Tyus Edney from earlier in the tournament, the Bruins were the lone No. 1 to reach the '95 Final Four in Seattle. After leaving Oklahoma State in the dust behind 21 from Edney, UCLA squared off against defending champion Arkansas in the tournament final. Forward Ed O'Bannon went off, finishing with 30 points and 17 boards to lead UCLA to its first national championship in the post-John Wooden era. 6|13 Todd Warshaw/Getty Images 1998 Despite boasting a lineup chalk full of NBA talent, including an intimidating front line of Vince Carter, Antawn Jamison, and Brendan Haywood, the Tar Heels lost 65-69 to Utah in the semifinals. Andre Miller and Michael Doleac chipped in 16 points apiece for the Utes, who would go on to lose to Kentucky in the title game. 7|13 John Biever, Manny Millan/SI 2000 The self-proclaimed "Flint-stones" of Michigan State roared into the 2000 Final Four having won three of their first four tournament games by double digits. The Spartans clashed with Big Ten rival Wisconsin, who surprised the nation by making the semifinals as an 8-seed. But MSU guards Mateen Cleaves and Morris Peterson proved to be too much for the Badgers, and the Spartans marched on to face Florida in the title game. Coach Tom Izzo's team held the Gators down, despite 27 from Florida's Udonis Haslem, and wrapped up a 89-76 championship win. 8|13 John W. McDonough/SI 2003 The Longhorns had all the key pieces -- a floor general at point guard (T.J. Ford), a defensive stopper (Royal Ivey), and a prolific scorer (Brandon Mouton). Unfortunately, they did not have Carmelo Anthony. Eventual national champion Syracuse did, and the Orange cut down the final top-seeded team in the semifinals,95-84, thanks to a career-best 33 points from Anthony. 9|13 Stephen Dunn/Getty Images; Bob Rosato/SI 2004 For a second straight year, the lone No. 1 seed in the Final Four fell in the semifinals. This time, Duke led eventual champion Connecticut for nearly the entire game, holding the Huskies' do-it-all center Emeka Okafor scoreless in the first half. But Okafor turned it on in the second half, finishing with 18 points and 7 rebounds. Duke star J.J. Redick went just 4-for-12 from the field.

His halfcourt heave hit the backboard and rim before falling to the floor -- giving Mike Krzyzewski his fourth national championship. 11|13 Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images 2012 Top-seeded Kentucky won its first four tournament games by at least 10 points, then got past Louisville 69-61 in the national semifinals and dispatched Kansas 67-59 in the final for its eighth national championship. The three other Final Four participants all defeated the top seeds in their regions. 12|13 David E.

NEW YORK -- West Virginia coach Bob Huggins didn't mince words regarding the loss to Davidson: Had the Mountaineers had injured guards Alex Ruoff and Joe Mazzulla they would have won Tuesday night in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden. Instead, after Davidson superstar Stephen Curry made two crushing late 3s, the Mountaineers lost by three. West Virginia's best win so far was at Ole Miss by two. The Mountaineers lost to Kentucky in the Las Vegas Invitational title game over Thanksgiving weekend. The Mountaineers still have to play at Ohio State on Dec. 27 before Big East play begins. "How far do we have to go? We're pretty damn good with [Ruoff and Mazzulla]," Huggins said. Ruoff and Mazzulla are out with a back injury and a shoulder injury, respectively. Huggins had no idea how long the two would be out. Ruoff didn't play. Mazzulla tried to go and played six minutes. "I don't know," Huggins said. "I used to try to be a doctor, but I've given up. I hate to lose. We shoot 33 percent from the field, make four 3s." Huggins said the Mountaineers' length did bother Curry (27 points on 27 shots), but "he makes two incredible shots, and if he misses one of those, we win the game. If he misses the first one [which cut the lead to 62-61], then we for sure win the game." The key for the Mountaineers will be how soon freshmen Devin Ebanks and Darryl Bryant get what Huggins wants. They're getting close. Ebanks had 17 rebounds against Cleveland State. He grabbed 17 against Davidson. Bryant was a jet, blowing by Davidson defenders, but still needs to finish and decide when to use his speed. "These guys are really skilled, very smart; it's just a matter of time before they do it on the court," West Virginia junior forward Da'Sean Butler said. "We just need [Bryant] to change speeds at the right time. He's working on it, but has to get us into the halfcourt and slow down. Ebanks, honestly, we knew what he could do, it's just a matter of him showing it. It's early in the season still. They'll pick it up real soon."
• Villanova coach Jay Wright said after the Wildcats' 67-58 loss to Texas that before beginning Big East play, the Wildcats must rebound the ball better (especially the guards), take care of the basketball and become even more selective with their shots.Wright said Villanova wasn't ready for a game against a team like Texas a few weeks ago when Dwayne Anderson and Shane Clark weren't healthy. So he's not apologizing for the weaker nonconference schedule leading into this game. The Wildcats rode into the Texas game with an 8-0 record, with the best win probably the one against Rhode Island at the Palestra. The schedule doesn't pick up much over the next two weeks. Villanova plays three Big Five games, and those are always tough, grinding games, but Saint Joseph's, LaSalle and Temple aren't even close to the caliber of Texas. Wright said he didn't make much of the No. 12 ranking. "I told them there may be 30 teams better than us, but there could be teams ahead of us that we're better than, too," Wright said. • Two members of the NCAA tournament selection committee were on hand: chairman and SEC commissioner Mike Slive and UConn athletic director Jeff Hathaway. • Texas and North Carolina are trying to work out a home-and-home agreement for 2009-10 and beyond. One plan is to play neutral site games at the new Cowboys stadium in North Dallas and the other in Greensboro. The two teams could also do a straight home-and-home, too. One thing Texas won't do is a neutral-site game in North Texas and then a true road game in Chapel Hill. Texas and North Carolina are two elite programs that don't hide from playing true road games. Carolina has already played at UC Santa Barbara and will play at Nevada on New Year's Eve. • The four hosts for the 2009-10 NIT Season Tip-Off will be Duke, Connecticut, LSU and Arizona State.

This is still awesome!! Of course better when you made it, since i didn't have to do anything but eat. But my whole family loved it! What's not to love, garlic, cheese, butter cream...a heart attack waiting to happen. LOL. My mom said this was so bad...and had another piece. ;-) Thanks chrissy!
Whew!, this was so good! I am truly a bread lover and thanks to Zaar, now a garlic lover! This recipe appealed to me on both counts. I made 1/2 recipe because it is just DH and myself, but don't worry the other 1/2 will be prepared the same way! I used whole wheat french bread. Other than this, I prepared the recipe as instructed, except we were in such a hurry to eat, I forgot the parsley garnish! Delicious and quite easy to prepare! Thanks ChrissyO! Prepared in participation with Zaar Cookbook tag!

Yet he's still the bobsled World Cup champion. Further establishing himself as the gold-medal favorite for the Sochi Olympics, Holcomb wrapped up his second World Cup overall two-man title on Saturday after teaming with Curt Tomasevicz for a seventh-place finish in the season finale. The U.S. hasn't won two-man bobsled Olympic gold since 1936, but Holcomb may be the one who ends that drought. He finished the season with 1,645 points, 35 more than Swiss pilot Beat Hefti. "It was a team effort," Holcomb said, "and it's why we are the best right now." Holcomb becomes the seventh pilot to win multiple two-man season titles. He also took top honors in 2006-07. Canada's Justin Kripps got his first World Cup race victory, teaming with brakeman Bryan Barnett to post a two-run time of 1 minute, 39.71 seconds. Hefti and Alex Baumann were second for Switzerland, 0.15 seconds back. Canada's Lyndon Rush and Lascelles Brown were third, 0.32 seconds behind their teammates. Cory Butner and Chris Langton were fourth for the U.S., two spots ahead of teammates Nick Cunningham and Andreas Drbal. "It's one thing to medal at home, but it's another to do it in Europe," said Butner, who was fourth in the season two-man standings. "Even though we came up just short of breaking into the top three, it was a really good day for us. Knowing that I can drive well on these tracks is a confidence booster heading into Sochi." Butner, Cunningham and Holcomb all will drive in the two-man event at the Sochi Games next month. Holcomb wound up winning five of the eight races on the two-man circuit this season. The final World Cup races before the Sochi Olympics are Sunday, with the women's bobsled and four-man finales. Holcomb came into the day with a 77-point lead on Hefti, meaning a ninth-place finish was what the American needed to wrap up the championship. But Holcomb had what he called "a sled malfunction" in the first run, leaving him in 10th place after the first heat and in position to lose the title. Without having much time, the U.S. team of sled mechanics figured out what was wrong, and Holcomb had the fourth-best time in the second heat - more than enough to take the crown. "It was a wake-up call," said Holcomb, who drove USA-1 to a four-man gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. "We almost lost the title. We were able to put down the second run we needed to keep it. It takes more than great driving and pushing. There's a team behind the team that deserves recognition, and sled technicians Richard Laubenstein, David Cripps and Jim Garde really get the credit today."

First tme zip lining - we had a blast. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. While in another country, safety issues are in the back of my mind, but once at the Park, the staff put me at ease. They explained the procedure clearly, and worked hard throughout the excursion.
The zip lining itself was fun. There was little wait, and we enjoyed zip lining through about 10 stations. I will say that there is some hiking, rock climbing, and a ladder descending that add to the sense of adventure (i.e. wear sneakers). The finale was a 45 second zip line back to the starting point which was amazing.
Afterward, Scape offers an opportunity to get photos (or CD's with photos). The price wasn't that bad, and the process to obtain them was far easier than I thought.
Overall, the experience was great, and I would recommend it for a first time zipliner...

Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn has
named chairs for committees, allowing the House to move ahead with business
With the GOP takeover of the House, Republicans were named to head all of the House's major committees.
Unlike four years ago, though, when Democratic Speaker Billy McCoy froze out GOP members from
chairmanships after they failed to depose him, Gunn, a Republican, did name some Democrats to committee chairmanships.
New leaders for major committees include:
--Appropriations, Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville
--Judiciary A, Rep. Mark Baker, R-Brandon
--Judiciary B, Andy Gipson, R-Braxton
--Education, John Moore, R-Brandon
--Ways and Means, Jeff Smith, R-Columbus
The Mississippi Legislature is 18 days into a 120-day session. The Rules and Management committees had been organized earlier.

1. In the opening pages of the novel, Alice says about her situation, "Now, in my more charitable moods, I wonder if our hardworking community members punished us for something as intangible as whimsy. We would not have felt eccentric in a northern city, but in Prairie Center we were perhaps outside the bounds of the collective imagination." (p. 4) How does the idea of alienation figure into the novel? Why do Dan and Theresa belong to Prairie Center? Does Howard belong? Feeling that she doesn't belong, could Alice have done anything to make herself less vulnerable to public censure?
2. Compare the different ways the characters grieve: Are there parallels in the husbandwife relationships within the couples--Alice and Howard, Theresa and Dan--and how each spouse expresses, or fails to express, his or her own grief? Do the characters' respective genders play a role in the way they deal with grief? What role does grief play in Howard's relationship with Theresa?
3. What is the function of Howard's narration? Does his perspective change your feelings about Alice and what happens to her? Is it clear why he doubts her?
4. Does Alice's sense of her own inadequacy contribute to how she is viewed by the people of Prairie Center? Does it contribute to Howard's feelings towards her?
5. At the outset of the novel, Alice says, "I had always suspected that Howard was able to slip into a phone booth, shed his rubber overalls right down to a blue body suit, and then take off into the sky, scooping up the children with one strong arm.... He has always been capable." (p. 9) What are some of Howard and Alice's respective strengths and weaknesses? Is either one stronger than the other in any way?
6. At the point of the novel when Alice is arrested, she is still completely overwhelmed and incapacitated by Lizzy's death and her role in it. How do the accusations against Alice and her time in prison change her and help her to deal with what happened to Lizzy?
7. What is revealed about Alice through her interaction with other prisoners? Does her sense of belonging shift while in prison? What new perspectives does she gain?
8. While in the jail hospital, Alice reflects on her marriage, "Lying in the hospital bed I thought to myself that my passion for Howard had soon been replaced by something that was stronger than respect, or habit, or maybe even need.... "I wasn't certain the group of feelings wouldn't cancel each other out, if any of them could possibly be powerful enough to carry me along by his side, shoulder to shoulder." (p. 298) What binds Alice and Howard? Do the events of the novel change the essence of those ties?

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Christina Amo, Stephanie Davidson and Ashley Turpin will represent Texas A&M at the North Texas Tennis Classic Friday and Saturday at the Waranch Tennis Complex in Denton, Texas. The tournament marks the final competition of the fall campaign for the Aggies.
Other schools represented include Ohio State, South Alabama and Tulsa, who all finished in the Top 50 in the final 2008 ITA spring team rankings. North Texas and Texas-El Paso also will be competing.
Action begins Friday with doubles matches at 10 a.m. followed by singles at 11 a.m. Another session of doubles and singles will be played at 4 and 5:30 p.m. on Friday. The tournament concludes Saturday with doubles at 10 a.m. and singles at 11 a.m.
The two-day tournament was a late addition to the A&M schedule and was picked up by Aggie coach Bobby Kleinecke to give the three players more competition experience.
"I decided to add this tournament after Stephanie became ill and was unable to attend the Milwaukee tournament at the beginning of the fall," Kleinecke said. "It's also a chance for each of these players to get some extra time on the court, and it is a good opportunity to finish the fall competing and see where we stand before our off-season break."
The Aggies open the spring season Jan. 24 as they play host to the University of Denver. First serve is at 1 p.m. at the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center.
