Two worlds collide when cycling legend Jock Boyer moves to Rwanda to help the first Rwandan National Cycling Team in their six year journey to compete in the Olympic Games in London. Setting out against impossible odds both Jock and the team find new purpose as they rise from the ashes of their past.
Executive produced and narrated by Forest Whitaker, this stunningly shot film follows Jock (the first American to compete in the Tour de France) and his Rwandan riders as they slowly but steadily learn what it means to be a professional cyclist - how to train, how to compete, how to live the life of a top level athlete. As they get better and better, the riders of Team Rwanda give their countrymen a vision of something greater then themselves and their history: hope for a future.

Thursday, Dec. 15 • 7 p.m. CT
American Bank Center (8,100) • Corpus Christi, Texas
RADIO: NewsRadio 1360 AM KKTX (Steven King)
LIVE STATS/VIDEO: GoIslanders.com
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball team returns to the American Bank Center for its final non-conference home game on Thursday, Dec. 15, when it faces South Alabama at 7 p.m. The contest will feature the return of former Islanders and current Jaguars head coach Ronnie Arrow to the Coastal Bend, as the bench boss returns for the first time since leading the Islanders to the 2007 NCAA Tournament.
The Islanders are 1-5 and are coming off an 11-day gap between games. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi has lost three straight games, road affairs at Texas A&M and Houston and a home game against Texas Tech.
South Alabama is 5-3, but has played just three affairs away from home this season. A road win at LSU and a home victory over UAB are the big victories for the Jaguars this year, while USA has also topped Alabama A&M, Alcorn State and Mobile at home. They have fallen at Mississippi State and Florida State and vs. Southern Miss.
Jonathon Simmons had a career-high 22 points, including a 5-for-7 effort from behind the arc, as Houston upended the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi basketball team 87-66 on Dec. 3 at Hofheinz Pavilion. The Islanders are now off for the next 11 days over final exams.
After getting just four points from the freshman class against Texas Tech on Dec. 1, the Islanders saw the newcomers score 32 points in the loss. Hameed Ali had a career-best 15 points and Jake Kocher had a career-high nine. The Cougars placed four players in double figures to improve to 4-3 on the season.
South Alabama is 5-3 after a decisive 102-62 win over Alcorn State on Sunday. The Jaguars have been impressive on the boards so far this year, averaging 40.5 per game and a plus-7.8 margin, the 21st best in the nation.
The Jaguars are led by Augustine Rubit, who paces the team with his 16.3 points and 8.6 rebounds per game and is the lone returning starter from a season ago. USA is without guard Xavier Roberson (10.5 ppg), who is out due to injury, but Antione Lundy is also in double figures with his 10.0 points per contest. Javier Carter has been a defensive force on the inside, as his 26 blocks lead the team.
This will be the first meeting between the Islanders and Jaguars in the history of both programs. It will be the second meeting this season between Texas A&M - Corpus Christi and a Sun Belt opponent, the other a loss to Denver on Nov. 14.
But the Jaguars feature a very familiar face, as Ronnie Arrow, who built the Islanders program and led the team to its only NCAA Tournament appearance, now mans the sidelines for USA. Arrow posted a 134-91 record for the Islanders in his eight seasons for A&M-Corpus Christi. He led the 2006-07 team, which will be recognized during Thursday's game, to a 26-7 mark and a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
After an 11-day rest, the Islanders are about to embark on their busiest trip of the year, as the next five games will take place in an eight-day span. After the South Alabama game, the Islanders hit the road for the Las Vegas Classic, which sees them travel to West Virginia, Missouri State and play two games in the City of Lights.
Over the upcoming trip, the Islanders will log over 5,000 air miles in addition to 165 round-trip miles from Pittsburgh International Airport to Morgantown, W.Va. After the trip, the Islanders will have just one game over the next 11 days.
In the game against Texas Tech, it was the upperclassmen who led the way. Returners Terence Jones (26) and Chris Hawkins-Mast (16) scored 42 of the Islanders' 54 points against the Red Raiders. Junior college transfer Jason Smith was next on the list with six points. In fact, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi got just four points from freshmen in the game, a mere 7.4 percent.
Houston was a far different story, as the newbies stepped up their game. Hameed Ali led the Islanders with 15 points and Jake Kocher had a career-best nine points in just 18 minutes of action. All told, the frosh combined for 36 of the 66 points the Islanders scored (54.5 percent). On the season, the Islander freshman class has averaged 19.2 points per contest, while its two junior college newcomers have added 12.2 points.
The Islanders point guard this season may be one of the smallest players in the Southland Conference, but what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in athletic ability. Houston native Johnathan Jordan stands just 5-foot-10, but his extreme athleticism and basketball IQ are the aspects of his makeup that are far more important to the Islanders.
He has been impressive leading the Islanders offense with his 24 assists and is second in the conferencewith 4.0 per game. His 1.6 assist-to-turnover ratio is fifth in the league.
In the Houston game, he filled the stat sheet, scoring eight points and leading the team with seven rebounds, five assists and three steals. He also had a career-best six dimes against Texas Tech.
At the end of the Denver game, he was a one-man wrecking crew. The freshman had two steals and eight points during a 10-0 run that drew the Islanders within three points with 26 seconds to play.
Freshman Hameed Ali was the last scholarship player to sign with the Islanders and is the youngest player on the team. But perhaps the biggest challenge is living up to his name – Hameed means "praiseworthy" and Ali means "exalted one."
He trimmed his hair prior to the Utah State game, and he delivered the biggest shot of his career in the contest. Down one with 1:06 left in overtime, he took a Johnathan Jordan pass and drilled a triple from the right side to give the Islanders the win. He added six points in a row during the Islanders' 14-0 run at Texas A&M on Nov. 26, and grabbed three boards in the game.
But his finest individual effort came in the last contest for the Islanders. The Hayward, Calif., native netted a career-high 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting and a 3-for-3 performance at the line. He also drilled a pair of threes and had a steal in his 27 minutes of action.
The freshman, who didn't turn 18 until Aug. 26, is now averaging 5.0 points per game on the year. After a brutal 3-for-20 start from the field, he has gone 9-for-28 over the last four games and has delivered 6-of-7 shots from the line.

Which Wich to open its first sandwich shop across from City Hall
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 11:03 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Which Wich Superior Sandwiches will open the first of two new sandwich shops in Tuscaloosa next month.
The new restaurant, which boasts more than 50 varieties of customized sandwiches, will be on the ground floor of the Boulevard Lofts, a new retail-student apartments complex on University Boulevard across from City Hall in downtown Tuscaloosa.
Crews are now readying the 1,600- to 1,700-square-foot store with an eye for a mid-January opening.
Lee Henderson, who has the local franchise for Which Wich, said the growth of retailing and loft apartments in the downtown area has made it attractive for the new restaurant. Henderson said he plans to open a second Which Wich next summer in the area of McFarland Boulevard and 15th Street.
Henderson also owns the Smoothie King franchise stores on University Boulevard and in the University of Alabama's Student Recreation Center. He had a Smoothie King on 15th Street that was lost in the April 27, 2011, tornado.
"After the tornado destroyed that business, it caused me to look at other opportunities," Henderson said. "I looked at different concepts before deciding on Which Wich."
He said he and his wife visited about 14 Which Wich stores across the Southeast, spending time talking to customers, employees and store operators and ordering sandwiches from the menu before deciding on buying a franchise.
"I felt this product had a niche that would fit in with this town," Henderson said.
Which Wich is based in Dallas, Texas, and is one of the fastest-growing restaurant chains in the South with about 300 restaurants, he said. The University Boulevard store will be its fifth store in Alabama. There are two Which Wich stores in Huntsville and two in Birmingham with additional ones in the planning stages, he said.
Which Wich lets customers customize sandwiches by marking up pre-printed menus printed on sandwich bags. They select a sandwich from one of 10 categories then choose the type of bread, size, cheese, spreads and vegetables. The sandwiches are prepared and delivered in personalized sandwich bags.
Henderson said the new restaurant also will offer a salad bowl and test seasonal soups.
Tony Crook, who helped run the Smoothie King on 15th Street, will be the general manager of both Which Wich stores. The downtown store will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.

Are you wacky for khaki? You'll go coco-nuts for this light, soft, coffee-and-cream
colored Puppy Purse. Made with wrinkle-ease cotton, it will leave you looking
good, even while making you a bit balmy in the crumpet!
Taking your furry friend shopping? Out for a walk in the park? To the sidewalk
cafe for some lunch? Puppy Purses come in materials and colors to suit your
needs, your moods, and your sense of style. Of primary concern, however, is
your dog's comfort. Spongy waffle, lush faux furs, buttery-soft leather -- your
dog will truly be wrapped in luxury. Enough to make you jealous.
Unlike other carriers, Puppy Purse has flexibility all figured out. With its
easily adjustable swivel straps, Puppy Purse is designed to let you find the
most comfortable way to carry your pup.
Shorten the straps and wear your Puppy Purse like a shoulder bag. Perfect for
a window-shopping excursion, and for sneaking in the occasional snuggle along
the way.
Sunburned shoulders? Or is it just a spaghetti strap sort of day? No problem.
Our straps are removable and every Puppy Purse comes with a set of tote handles
for carrying your dog by hand.
And should your pup actually want a break from all the pampering to get some
exercise, you can also detach one end of the strap and use it as a leash!
Sizing Guidelines
Your pet's comfort is our primary concern, so we want to fit your dog with
the proper size Puppy Purse so that not only do they look good, but they feel
good all day. To determine the right size for your little one, all you'll need
is a tailor's tape measure, a scale, a cooperative canine, and our Sizing Chart,
Chest size: This is the most important measurement
for fitting your dog. (Think of that too-tight pair of jeans!). To determine
chest size, measure your dog's girth from just behind the forelegs, at the widest
part of the chest/ribcage. This is like a "bust" measurement if your
pet were standing on their hind legs. (Please note: The size label must be worn
at the pup's tail for a proper fit.)
Length (Spine): This refers to the distance from the base
of the neck to the base of the tail.
Length (Leg-to-Leg): This refers to the distance between
the front of the foreleg and the front of the hind leg.
If your dog's measurements fall between sizes on the chart, select the larger
of the two sizes. And if you're still having trouble determining the size, please
contact us. We'll be happy to help.
Availability: Please allow 7-10 business days for delivery

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
Aint to Bad
At the moment we are three points down on the same fixtures last year. This doesn't include the Reading and Southampton games both of which we won (remember we lost at Bolton and drew with Sunderland in the away games - so if you included these as equivalent then we would be 2 points up compared to last year).
Given the injuries at the moment and the fact that we had Modric and VDV last year - as I say - it aint to bad.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
You are of course absolutely right Robin. If you look at where we are position and points wise it ain't too bad. But its not the position or points tally that has some people worried.
Its the way we are playing, team selections, formations and style, weird substitions and strange tactical decisions that have people worried.
Its not so much now that worries some, its the future. AVB, having never proved himself anywhere (most people discount that short period at Porto as "proved success") is an experiment and to many, its an experiment that either we should not have entered into or should get out of quickly to avoid disaster.
I have made my thoughts on it as clear as I can. I don't think AVB is a good manager and I would take the short sharp exit route rather than the - in my eyes - inevitable long slow painful route which keeping AVB would be.
As we have said many times, only time will tell but for me the signs do not look good. I hope my doubts prove unfounded.

Obviously everyone has their way of interpreting performances but ultimately it is the league stats that count and on that basis the team are playing at the same level as last year - and the main point is, I think - with a less talented playing eleven.
Given that we all make mistakes ( and I agree with you that AVB has made some) I think he's doing a good job at the moment. In fact given that Harry Redknapp had Modric and VDV at his disposal, I think AVB's performance is demonstrably better than Harry's.
I think you have to give people a reasonable amount of time doing a job before you can asses there worth.
Spurs are not going into the championship any time soon.

Eagle County Health and Human Services is currently participating in a tri-county survey to obtain information on those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness within Eagle, Garfield and Pitkin Counties.
The effort is being conducted as part of the statewide Colorado Counts initiative and the national 100,000 Homes Campaign.
The survey is intended to identify service gaps and to provide baseline data for use in determining resources needed to address those gaps.
"Our goal is to help our residents who are homeless or vulnerable to homelessness become self-sufficient," said Kathy Lyons, Economic Services Director for the county. "To do that, we need to know what their issues and barriers are to stable living situations, not just what we think they are."
Partnering with HHS are Eagle County's Housing Department, Vail Valley Salvation Army and Catholic Charities.
Surveys will be conducted throughout the week, with additional surveys taking place over the next month as service organizations meet with clients.
A debrief will be held this fall to share results of the survey with all interested community members, service organizations and elected officials.

Oak Creek Homes in New Iberia is the leading manufactured home dealer in the Gulf Coast Area. Today's manufactured homes can deliver outstanding quality and performance at prices ranging from 10 to 20 percent less per square foot than conventional site-built homes. These savings allow more and more Americans to own their own home, even in the face of an ever-widening housing affordability gap.
The affordability of manufactured housing can be attributed directly to the efficiencies emanating from the factory-building process. The controlled construction environment and assembly-line techniques remove many of the problems encountered during traditional home construction, such as poor weather, theft, vandalism, damage to building products and materials, and unskilled labor. Factory employees are trained and managed more effectively and efficiently than the system of contracted labor employed by the site-built home construction industry.
Much like other assembly-line operations, manufactured homes benefit from the economics of scale resulting from purchasing large quantities of materials, products and appliances. Manufactured home builders are able to negotiate substantial savings on many components used in building a home, with these savings passed on directly to the homebuyer.
Today's manufactured homes have experienced a major evolution in the types and quality of homes being offered to buyers. Technological advances are allowing manufactured home builders to offer a much wider variety of architectural styles and exterior finishes that will suit most any buyer's dreams, all the while allowing the home to blend in seamlessly into most any neighborhood. Two-story and single-family attached homes are but two of the new styles being generated by factory-built innovation. As a result, today's manufactured homes are offering real housing options for the neglected suburban and urban buyers.
At the same time, greater flexibility in the construction process allows for each home to be customized to meet a buyer's lifestyle and needs. Interior features now include such features as vaulted ceilings and working fireplaces to state-of-the-art kitchens and baths, giving the homebuyer all the features found in traditional, site-built homes. Enhanced energy efficiency in manufactured homes, achieved with upgraded levels of insulation and more efficient heating and cooling systems, provide another source of savings for homeowners, especially in this era of rising energy costs. Smart buyers are turning to Energy Star-labeled manufactured homes for substantial savings in many aspects of owning and operating a home.
Technological advances, evolutionary designs, and a focus on delivering quality homes that families can afford are the driving forces within the manufactured housing industry. That's why more people are turning to manufactured housing to deliver homes that fit their needs and wants, at prices they can afford!

Manufactured homes, are built in a factory. Each home conforms to the US government's Construction and Safety Standards (HUD code), rather than to building codes enforced at the home's destination. Each home or segment of a home is labeled with a red tag that is the manufacturer's guarantee the home was built to conform to the HUD code. Oak Creek manufactured homes exceed HUD code construction requirements and are known for their quality and attention to finish detail. Each of our homes comes with a 7-Year Service Protection Package – the strongest in the industry.
You are assured of first-rate construction, because all manufactured homes built since 1976 must meet the strict performance standards of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The department's code requires the highest standards in every phase of construction and its requirements are comparable to the Standard Building Code for site-built homes. Oak Creek Homes has its own quality assurance program, and every home's design and construction is inspected and approved by an independent outside source.
Oak Creek Homes built for the Gulf Coast are designed to withstand hurricane-force winds. As for fire, insurance company studies concluded that the chance of fire in a site-built home is twice that of today's manufactured home. Thanks to stringent building codes, safety inspection standards and anchoring requirements, an Oak Creek manufactured home may be the safest home you can buy.
To find the date of manufacture, look for a data plate located inside your home, usually on or near the main electrical panel, in a kitchen cabinet, or in a bedroom closet. The data plate offers information about the home's heating, cooling, and other appliances and components. The data plate also shows you the wind zone and snow load for which the home was built. A red HUD label with a stamped serial number should be attached to the exterior of the home.
No. Some communities and developments do not allow manufactured housing. Research local zoning ordinances, deed restrictions, restrictive covenants, and other similar documents before purchasing land for a manufactured home. If you are moving into a community with ordinances or construction restrictions, you may want to consider an Oak Creek modular home.
Yes, but make sure you use a transport company that is familiar with the laws for moving such structures. You should also consider the zone for which the manufactured home was originally constructed. Never move a manufactured home to a zone with more restrictive wind, thermal, or roof load requirements than the zone for which it was built. Check the data plate for zoning information. Climate differences and the cost of moving your manufactured home might make it more practical to sell it and purchase another at your new location.
Financing a manufactured home is no more difficult than financing any other home. Personal property financing is readily available. Conventional, VA, FHA and other financing programs, with terms of up to 30 years, are available when a home is financed as real property. Lenders are active in financing manufactured homes because studies prove that the appreciation of these homes is comparable to the appreciation of site-built homes. Oak Creek Homes can help you with a number of financing options to fit your needs and budget.
Most manufacturers offer a Protection Plan that covers the home and its systems during a stated Protection Plan period. Some appliances may be covered by their own warranties. Before you purchase a manufactured home, find out which items are covered by Protection Plan, who offers the Protection Plan, and how Protection Plan repairs are performed. Oak Creek Homes sold at participating Oak Creek home Centers are covered with a 7-Year Service Protection Package. Just ask for details when you visit a participating home center.
Oak Creek Homes takes pride in the fact that we offer personal service after the sale and installment of all of our homes. Our goal is to have happy customers that we can turn to for recommendations for future home buyers. In the event of a problem, please call your service representative and we will do everything we can to correct the problem as quickly and conveniently as possible.
Modular homes are built in sections in a factory setting, indoors, where they are never subjected to adverse weather conditions. The sections move through the factory, with the company's quality control department checking them after every step. Finished modules are covered for protection, then transported to your home site. They are placed on a pre-made foundation, joined, and completed.
That depends on your design, but some modular homes can be built in the factory in as little as 4-6 weeks. And since modulars are built indoors, there's never a weather delay. It usually takes another 2-4 weeks to complete the home once it's delivered to the building site.
Mobile homes, now called manufactured homes, are built to conform to the same federal code, no matter where they will be delivered. That code is called the HUD code. A modular home conforms to the building codes that are required at the specific location it will be delivered to, and in many cases construction exceeds the required codes.
No, and unless you were there to see the house delivered and assembled, you might not guess it's a modular home. Oak Creek offers a broad array of exterior designs and interior floor plans.
Yes. Most banks, appraisers, and insurance companies treat modular homes the same way they do site built homes--a house that's constructed entirely on your property. Oak Creek Homes offers a number of financing options for you to consider. Please use this web site to fill out a loan application and the mortgage calculator to help you determine the monthly payments that best fit your budget.
We believe you Oak Creek homes offer a terrific value for the dollar and typically costs less per square foot than a similar site-built home. And there are other cost-saving features:

are homes built entirely in the factory, transported to the site, and installed under a federal building code administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Act (commonly known as the HUD Code) went into effect June 15, 1976. Prior to this date, this type of home was known as a mobile home. The federal standards regulate manufactured housing design and construction, strength and durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency and quality. The HUD Code also sets performance standards for the heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. It is the only federally-regulated national building code. Oak Creek uses building materials and techniques that in many cases far exceed the minimum HUD code.
We take the expertise in building the highest quality modular home and put it in every home we build. Technological advances, evolutionary designs, and a focus on delivering quality homes that families can afford are the driving forces within the manufactured housing industry. That's why more people are turning to Oak Creek to deliver manufactured homes that fit their needs and wants, at prices they can afford!
Compare Manufactured vs Modular Construction
construction is more exacting than that found in "site-built" homes and it incorporates the efficiencies and quality control developed for "off-site" home construction.
The materials and construction techniques you would expect in any quality-built home are exceeded in an Oak Creek modular home. You also have the added confidence of knowing that your modular home was built in a quality-controlled environment under the watchful eyes of people 30 years of home-building experience. An added benefit is the fact that the brand-name materials used in the construction of your home are never exposed to rain or damaging weather during the building process.
Modular homes are perfect for city or country living because they can be constructed so quickly. Remote rural homesites pose no problems for modular home construction as they might for a site-built home. With modular construction, crews of carpenters, electricians, plumbers and painters that move from job to job are not needed, and therefore do not delay your move-in date.
In the city, Oak Creek modular homes can be built just about anywhere because the only difference between Oak Creek modular homes and a site-built home is where they are constructed – not how.
Whether you're looking for cottage comfort or wide-open spaces for a large family, an Oak Creek modular home can be built for you. Load bearing and exterior walls are typically 2"x4" or optional 2"x 6" studs on 16" centers, available residential 6/12 roof systems and some models even include sunset-friendly porches. Oak Creek modular homes are erected on a permanent foundation just like a site-built home. The homesite is prepared, an engineered foundation is built and the home is erected on the foundation. Some models can be built with optional wind load specifications up to 140 mph.
Oak Creek uses brand names you trust in the construction of your new home. From floor to ceiling, fixtures to appliances, every feature of our homes provides you comfort, security and ease of maintenance long into the future.
Oak Creek modular homes are built for energy efficiency – thermal pane windows, elevated levels of insulation and a 13-SEER air conditioning system – start the list. Not only does this mean a more comfortable environment for you and your family, it also means that you will save thousands of dollars in energy bills over the years.
When you tour an Oak Creek modular home, we ask that you look at the details. Notice the cabinetry, trim and fixtures. You'll discover quality workmanship and brand-names that you know and trust. The same is true of the appliances we put in all of our homes. You can expect many years of trouble-free service for you and your family.
Oak Creek promises that all of the materials used in the construction of your home meet or exceed recommended guidelines and codes. When you compare manufacturers this is especially important to note. We place great pride – and you will place great value – in Oak Creek quality.
Not only does Oak Creek offer home designs with 1,100 to over 3,000 square feet of living space, our home builders make every aspect of the home-buying experience easy – from choosing the home you want – through purchase and homesite preparation – to Protection Plan service after move-in. Modular homes, like traditional site-built homes, are financed with a mortgage. Our modular homes qualify for the same mortgage programs as traditional site-built homes. Plus, our Protection Plan (available from participating builders) is the best in the industry and we will respond quickly to address any possible problems that occur after move-in.
Registration as a manufactured housing retailer or installer is not the same as registration as an industrialized builder through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The TDLR registers all approved modular homebuilders.
The following model homes are available to tour at our Design Center. Call us to set up a no-hassle visit and discover the "Oak Creek Difference." If you don't find the perfect floor-plan below, please use our floor-plan search above to explore all of the housing choices available to you. We look forward to building you your dream home!

Oil Painting by Jeon Joon Yeop. 29 x 21 inches, 73 x 53 cm. Jeon Joon Yeop (born 1953) is a well-known artist in South Korea, with numerous art reviews. He was the top-selling artist in last years Korea International Art Fair, Koreas biggest art fair. Instead of finding comfort in his successes, Jeon accepts popularity as a challenge to further explore how to speak the ancient language of Korean landscape painting with a modern vocabulary of techniques, such as pouring, scratching, spreading, soaking, smudging, blowing, and densely recoating oil paint onto the canvas. Another seemingly modern technique that Jeon employs, the presentation of multiple viewpoints in a single painting, is actually an ancient technique in East Asian painting. Jeon even adds the viewpoint of the person in the painting, creating an attachment for the viewer of the painting so that the landscape is not objective and detached, thus keeping, and sharing, the Korean traditional subjective and harmonious view of nature.

Chart of the Day: Investors Spooked; Outflows Spike
Talk about a flight to safety.
Investors yanked $12.3 billion out of U.S. equity funds last week, the biggest outflow in more than five years, according to Michael Hartnett, chief investment strategist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. The outflow marked the first time in eight weeks that investors yanked money out of U.S. stock funds.
Mr. Hartnett points out the bulk of that amount — $10 billion — came from the ETF market's largest fund, the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY). ETFs often attract a hefty dose of "hot" money that flows in and out from traders and hedge funds.
There has been a "flight to cash as retail investors dump risk assets," Mr. Hartnett said in a note to clients on Friday, pointing out a combined $20 billion flew out of stocks and bonds last week, while money-market funds saw an influx of new cash.
The question now is whether the big outflows across asset classes will mark the beginning of a new trend, especially as concerns about the Fed's next move ramp up. Fed officials reaffirmed their plans earlier this week to try winding down its bond-buying program, but left investors wondering when or how aggressively they would move. The uncertainty has weighed on stock prices and pushed bond yields higher.
The Dow notched a second straight day of gains on Friday and finished above 15000. But the blue-chip average is riding a three-week losing streak, its longest since a four-week stretch that ended in the middle of November.
Judging by the latest fund-flow data, investors are selling now and asking questions later.

OAKLAND -- Warriors coach Mark Jackson said he learned online that his rugged starting center was clean shaved. As it turns out, Andrew Bogut's strength wasn't in his beard.
"There were no concerns," Jackson said with a smile.
All the Warriors-related attention seems to be on the starting backcourt. But inside, Bogut has put together quite a three-game set in the Western Conference semifinals against the San Antonio Spurs. Despite playing on short rest, and battling one of the best to ever play in Tim Duncan, Bogut has been one of the Warriors' most consistent players.
"He's playing great basketball," Jackson said. "Protecting the paint, playing great defense on Tim, battling, making plays. I'm very pleased with what he's giving us. You need that type of presence to continue to be playing."
Bogut is averaging 9.0 points and 12.7 rebounds in 31 minutes per game. Most important is his defense on Duncan.
The future Hall of Famer is averaging 21.7 points and 10 rebounds. But he's shooting 44.6 percent and has totaled just five offensive rebounds in three games (his career playoff average is 3.3 offensive boards).
"That's pretty good," Bogut said. "Still room to improve. He still got a couple of easy, cheap baskets. I've just got to make him work and try to change things up on him.
"He's going to get his points because he gets so many touches. If he has to work hard for them, that's the most important thing. ... If he makes those fadeaway bank shots, and has to take four or five dribbles and make multiple moves to score, that's kind of what I want."
The Spurs called it a bruise. It happened in the fourth quarter when he was inadvertently kicked by Bogut.
Parker told the San Antonio Express-News the bruise was the size of a baseball. It was enough to keep Parker out of the Spurs' practice Saturday, but he isn't expecting to miss Game 4 Sunday.
"I just can't see myself not playing," he told reporters. "I'll definitely play."
Team doctors didn't think Parker's injury warranted tests. But Parker, 30, said he was definitely in pain at the end of Game 3.
"I couldn't elevate," Parker said. "My last couple shots were short. I missed my free throws. Hopefully tomorrow it will feel better."
Before thanking Curry, assistant coach Michael Malone pretended to interview Curry. That's when the Warriors star broke the news: "I'm going to be auditioning for 'Dancing with the Stars.' "

The Department of Homeland Security
In 2003, in response to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, several government agencies were split up and recombined to form the Department of Homeland Security. This was done to clear up confusion between agencies and have one department concentrate its efforts on its most important goal, keeping America safe. The DHS employs over 225,000 people across the country in jobs that range from securing our borders and airports, to providing response in emergency situations. No other country as of yet has a Department of Homeland Security.
Click here to read the full, original Department of Homeland Security proposal by George W. Bush from June 2002.
To ensure the DHS runs smoothly and to the best of its ability, Secretary Chertoff in July 2005 declared the department's six-point agenda. This agenda included:
Current and Former Secretaries of Homeland Security
Tom Ridge, January 24, 2003 – February 1, 2005
Michael Chertoff, February 15, 2005 – January 21, 2009
Janet Napolitano, January 21, 2009 – Present
Our National Efforts to Secure the Homeland
The strategy provides a common framework through which our entire Nation – Federal, State, local, and Tribal governments, the private and non-profit sectors, communities, and individual citizens – should focus its homeland security efforts on the following four goals:
Progress Made Securing The Homeland
Since September 11, we have made extraordinary progress in securing our Homeland and fighting the War on Terror. We have:
The Obama Administration
Upon taking office, President Obama and his administration made the following changes to Homeland Security:

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - Zak Podmore kayaked the length of the Colorado River, first in 2011 when he and his partner journeyed 1,700 miles from the source of the Green River in Wyoming to the Gulf of California in Mexico, and again in 2012 from the source of the Colorado River to Lake Powell and beyond. Podmore, a Glenwood Springs local, has traveled over 2,500 miles by foot, kayak and raft in the last 18 months and has received a first-hand perspective on the different ways water is used in the Colorado River Basin.
As the next High Country Speaker Series presenter, Podmore will share stories and videos from his most recent trip, highlighting the particular interests of recreation, agriculture, and oil and gas - and those for whom the water no longer exists. His presentation will take place on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. at the Avon Public Library as the third event of the H2Know Colorado: High Country Speaker Series. This year the High Country Speaker Series, a partnership between the Eagle Valley Library District and Walking Mountains Science Center, is collaborating with Eagle River Watershed Council to bring environmental speakers focusing on water issues to our community.
"When we talk about reasons to keep water in the Colorado River - as opposed to spreading it on the lawns of new subdivisions, sinking it deep into fracking wells, or sending it over the Rockies to other basins - recreation is often found near the top of the list," Podmore said. "Recreation is one of the few water uses that doesn't require pumping water out of our rivers. Instead, it encourages us to make our rivers as accessible, clean, and as naturally beautiful as possible."
To show that their journey last summer from the source of the Colorado River in Rocky Mountain National Park to Lake Powell and beyond was more than one fun kayaking trip, Podmore and his three teammates, all recent Colorado College graduates, interviewed water users and conservationists alike, including the Eagle River Watershed Council. As Podmore shared in a recent Huffington Post article, kayaks weren't their only means of transportation.
"We decided to do things on (Lake) Powell a little differently than the average visitor. Thanks to the innovative folks at Jack's Plastic Welding, we got that chance. The Jack's Plastic 22-foot-long solar-powered raft took us 160 miles in six days from Hite, Utah, to Glen Canyon Dam without a single drop of fuel."
Podmore opened for the Watershed Council's Water Wise Wednesday screening of "Watershed," a film by Robert Redford, by showing a clip from "Remains of a River," the film of his 2011 source-to-sea journey by filmmaker and expedition partner Will Stauffer-Norris. That film has been shown across the country. For a sneak preview of their new films, go to their website, www.downthecolorado.org.
The final speaker in this series will be Jim Lochhead, chief executive officer/manager for Denver Water and part-time Vail resident, who will discuss the delicate balance of water issues between West Slope and Front Range residents on March 11 at 5:30 p.m. at Walking Mountains Science Center.
The High Country Speaker Series is free and open to the public. Reservations are recommended but not required. For more information, or to make a reservation, call the Avon Public Library at 970-949-6797 or Walking Mountains Science Center at 970-827-9725.

As the Affordable Care Act's Exchanges begin to enroll people across the country, a seemingly minor provision in the law is bound to make a big difference in combating the most widespread disease children experience today: tooth decay.1 Federal legislators wanted to tackle this issue head-on, and saw fit to make children's dental coverage one of the ten essential health benefits for people getting coverage on the Exchanges.
There are many options for new customers purchasing dental benefits for their kids on the Exchanges. Consumers will now be able to choose from stand-alone dental plans, which is the way dental benefits have traditionally been provided, and from health plans with dental coverage wrapped up inside.
In fact, besides health plans covering major medical benefits, stand-alone dental plans are the only other type of coverage that can be sold on the Affordable Care Act's Exchanges. Our goal is to help parents get access to great coverage so they can get their kids to the dentist for the care they need. Delta Dental member companies are offering children's plans in most of states across the country in 2014, with more offering coverage in their states in 2015.
Parents will be able to shop for dental coverage not only for their children, but also for themselves. Family plans can be sold on most Exchanges as long as the pediatric coverage is also included in the plan. Recent studies show that parents with dental plans go to the dentist.2 And when they do, they are likely to bring their children. Ultimately, we hope that Delta Dental and other carriers can do their part to reduce dental disease across the country.

Hey Islanders Fans!
This week I want to dedicate this blog to the men's cross country team. This past weekend we traveled to the Chile Pepper Festival in Fayetteville, Ark. and the men's team made history. They finished third out of a competitive field. It was the best Chile Pepper finish on the men's side in Islanders history.
I wanted to say how proud I am of them and how hard they work! The women's cross country team loves you guys even though you all are mean to us! Just kidding! But anyways, I have witness a few boys grow into men and fast runners since my freshman year of college, some even since before then and I feel like they have been a part of my growth as a runner, as well as I have been a part of theirs.
The men's cross country team always works hard and pushes each other. They are a family within themselves that help each other become strong leaders. I look up to these guys as role models when it comes to training because from when they wake up till they go to sleep they continue to strive to their goals and reach for the win. Being a guy must be complicated, especially if you are a student-athlete. Men are so competitive and really freaking fast! I have noticed that outside of running they are funny guys and pick on each other and me too!
This past week Jacob Abrego has do ne some awesome work. I have known Jacob since my freshman year of high school and he has so much passion with running. According to their captain Adrian Marquez, Jacob has put in some great improvement; he wakes up with a goal and tries his best to reach it. I would like to say that I personally agree to that, Jacob is a true inspiration for non-runners and runners and he has grown into a great runner! Good job Jacob!
All of the guys have a special place with us on the women's side. We have a love/hate relationship, sometimes you guys pick at me for my long baggy shorts, for my dog, the way I pronounce a word, the way I make a face, how I sound, um should I go on? But in the end they treat us like sisters and care for us with some of their little cold hearts (hehe). I have figured out that the funniest guy on the men's team is Paul Hansel aka Busta rhymes is what I call him but he is defined as Buster lol. The boys are great leaders to us because when we see them do great it motivates us to be like them. They are an inspiring group of young men and handsome (sometimes) so I just want to let you all know that the men's cross country team is a great team full of responsible leaders!!! And I am proud to be in the same team as them and run along them.
Now to end this blog, I want you guys to make someone else's day special just like I hope I made our men feel :) and remember, "Keep your Islander pride, and don't forget to stride," with yours truly!

Bus stops for some kids in Aiken County may be changing. As new kids move to the county, sometimes extra stops are added that really aren't allowed. News 12 is on your side with why some bus stops will disappear.
Sever-year-old Aleasia McCullough has a longer walk to her bus stop this week.
"The bus stop was originally here and now they're asking that she walk down the road and around the corner to the fire hydrant to get picked up," said Montara McCullough.
Aleasia's mom is upset because she used to watch her daughter get on the bus through the front window and now Aleasia is out of sight.
Aleasia's mom, Montara, worries about the sharp curve near the new stop. But Montara may not be the only concerned parent.
Aiken County's transportation supervisor Maria McClure is driving the county checking the district's bus stops to make sure they meet state rules. McClure has checked about half of the district's stops since school started and about 30 have moved.
"We noticed that this road is too narrow," McClure said.
Most stops are changed because they're too close together.
"This is nothing new. The state department hasn't put anything new on us. They're just monitoring our routes more closely and we want to make sure we're in compliance," McClure said.
In South Carolina bus stops must be 1/5 of a mile apart and stops off the main road must be at least a half-mile down.
"They need to consider the age of the children that will get picked up," McCullough said.
"We're going to try and accommodate as much as we can as long as we stay within our guidelines," McClure said.
But a rule is a rule. So Aleasia's mom may have to take her concerns to the statehouse.
If your child's bus stop is changing, a note will go home from school with them a few days before. The note will let you know where the new stop is and if the pick-up time is changing.

I have spent hours on google trying to figure out why the PMS wont render my PS3.
Everything is enabled, no firewalls, I have played with various IPs. Still nothing. I have no idea if anyone will help me.
When I did download the program it got stuck at 6 or 7 complete. I had to quit to finish the install. From what I have read it is just a quirk of the install process. Maybe that is where my problem lies?
This is the log for my initial setup of PMS
Please any clear help would be appreciated. I am no good with too much tech talk but I can hold my own as long as its logical

Clayton Valley Charter High star Joe Protheroe ran for a school-record 427 yards and five touchdowns Friday night.
Then he gave the credit to the big guys up front after the No. 1-seeded Eagles' 47-7 rout of visiting No. 8 Dublin in the quarterfinals of the North Coast Section Division II football playoffs.
"Oh yeah, they definitely did it," Protheroe said of his offensive line. "They gave me the creases I needed, and I took advantage of it."
Indeed, he did.
After the Gaels, who celebrated the return of standout back Ondre Rudolph from an ankle injury, scored in the third quarter to cut the deficit to 20-7, Protheroe promptly scored on a 60-yard run on the Eagles' next possession to up the lead to 26-7.
Clayton Valley, which had 639 yards of total offense, plays the winner of Saturday's Concord at Casa Grande-Petaluma game in the semifinals.
Protheroe, who has about 2,521 yards rushing and 28 rushing touchdowns, agreed that his 60-yard run was a turning point in the game.
"Oh man, I was really nervous and then I saw that hole open up and I just ran through it, and I knew that we had this game," he said. "I didn't know that we were for sure going to win, but I knew we had it in the palm of our hand."
Protheroe went 80 yards for a score on his team's next offensive play, and early in the fourth quarter, he dashed for a 74-yard touchdown.
Clayton Valley (10-1), which had a bye in the first round, started a little sluggishly against the inspired Gaels (6-6) as the Eagles shook off the rust. They led just 7-0 after the first quarter on Protheroe's first touchdown, a 12-yard run.
"I think the bottom line is when you come off a bye you have a combination of being very anxious, and with that anxiety, your timing is off," Clayton Valley coach Tim Murphy said. "Take nothing away from Dublin. They came ready to play."
Murphy gave high marks to his lead blocking back and top tackler Jesse Medrano, whose blocks often freed Protheroe for big runs. Murphy also pointed out his offensive linemen, Spencer Wraa, Max Connor, Logan Bangert, Justin Rogers, Brenden Crabbe and Dylan Jue.
Rancho Cotate-Rohnert Park 21, Las Lomas 14: Jalon Luque rushed for 184 yards and two touchdowns, including a backbreaking 66-yard score in the fourth quarter, to lead the second-seeded Cougars (11-0) to a win over the visiting Knights (5-7).
Las Lomas got a break late when Rancho Cotate fumbled the ball on four consecutive snaps in the fourth quarter, including one that led to a blocked punt. That led to Adam Wood's 1-yard touchdown run that cut the deficit to 21-14 with one minute, 31 seconds left.
However, the Knights were called for an illegal touch on the ensuing kickoff and the Cougars ran out the clock.
It was a miserable night for football, with rain falling constantly and steam rising from the field. The conditions led to 14 fumbles between the teams. Amazingly, only two were lost. However, it forced Rancho Cotate to keep the ball on the ground. Michael Courchaine threw only three passes for the Cougars, completing just one. But it was a big one, an 11-yard touchdown to Chris Taylor-Yamanoha late in the first half to break a scoreless tie.
Las Lomas responded by converting an onside kick to open the second half. A 12-play, 46-yard drive culminated in a 1-yard run by Wood to tie the score at 7-7.
By that time, however, the Knights defense had begun to tire and Luque took over. Rancho Cotate marched 84 yards on 10 plays -- all on the ground and seven by Luque -- to take the lead for good. Luque scored on a 7-yard run.
The Cougars defense forced a punt, and it took Luque just one play to break the game open. He took a handoff up the middle, spun through the line and broke into the open field for 66 yards.

As expected, last week's "Sons of Anarchy" opener, with its disturbing school shooting, provoked widespread reaction -- some positive, some very negative. Series creator Kurt Sutter even got into it with the Parents Television Council, a watchdog group that called the episode "an outrage."
But on we go. As Sutter promised, the shooting continues to have an impact on the Season 6 storyline. In tonight's episode, "Six One Six," we learn that four are dead, including the shooter, an 11-year-old named Matthew.
Plus there's bad news for Jax and the guys: The gun used in the shooting was one of SAMCRO's -- a KG-9 that belonged to Nero's cousin, Arcadio, the boyfriend of Matthew's grieving mother.
Some viewers have criticized Sutter and his "SOA" collaborators of "glorifying" or "exploiting" the kind of murderous rampages that have occurred in our country all too often. Of course, they're doing nothing of the sort. That's a wildly simplistic take. If anything, "SOA" is leveling a vicious indictment against crappy parenting and, of course, SAMCRO itself.
Matthew's mother, it turns out, is a drug-user. The kid was obviously neglected and unsupervised. And surely, there was little, if any, attention being paid to mental health issues he may have had. (Just one look at his gruesome notebook doodles should have raised a red flag).
As for SAMCRO (and similar gun peddlers), there's clearly some disconnect between what they do for a living and the consequences that ensue. As Sutter told EW.com last week, they put the guns out on the street without really knowing whose hands they're going to wind up in and what violence they create. To me, that's a compelling -- and important -- story to tell.
Now back to that story: Jax is stunned by the news that a SAMCRO gun was used in the shooting. How can he not be? He's a parent. (Although, I would have preferred to see a little more soul-searching angst from the character). But he's also worried about protecting his own ass. He knows there will be major political fallout from the shooting, and sure enough, the episode introduces tough-talking District Attorney Tyne Patterson ("Shield" alum CCH Pounder), who is just looking for someone -- anyone -- to hang the crime on.
So Jax is desperate to keep Matthew's mother -- a "junkie rat" -- from blabbing to the Stockton cops. To do so, they abduct her from her home and take her to a cabin in the woods, where they hope to lay low for a while and convince her to keep mum.
But the plan unravels into chaos when she finds a rifle in a gun rack (Wouldn't the SAMCRO guys have cleared all that out?), blows some holes in the cabin and bolts out of the place with Arcadio. Just when it looks like they're about to get away in a pickup, Nero shoots his cousin in the head and Jax tackles the woman to the ground. Jax is ready to shoot her right then and there, but a mournful Nero pleads with him to spare her life. (Jimmy Smits does wonderful work in this sequence).
Jax relents for the moment, but there's no way he's going to allow this loose cannon to stick around. They tie her to a bed and, without Nero knowing, Jax sends in Juice to shoot her up with drugs. Then, in yet another harrowing "SOA" scene, Juice uses a pillow to smother the life out of the woman. Clearly the plan is to make it look like she died from an overdose.
In other plot developments:
-- It's no more guns for Jax. He wants to cut ties with the Irish, but it ain't going to be easy. He meets with the boss man Galen and offers a plan that would have the Irish Kings dealing with a San Bernardino biker crew. But Galen will have none of it. In fact the smiling thug in a suit sees a way to profit from the tragedy. He knows that, after every such shooting, many Americans rush to get their hands on the deadliest weapons. His cynical plan? Bring in even more KG9s and double the price. Sick bastard.
-- Tara's out of jail, at least for now. Her trial is six weeks away and things with Jax are, shall we say, awkward. He again promises that SAMCRO is going to go legit and he'll step away. Just not right now. Considering what happened with Opie, it wouldn't make sense to him. Tara's patience is wearing thin.
-- Clay tells Toric he's willing to rat on SAMCRO, but he wants to talk to Jax and Gemma first. When Gemma arrives for a jail visit, he tells her that "whatever goes down, none of it lands on you." And apparently, she still has feelings for the big lug.
-- The vengeful Toric begins to form an alliance with the DA that could prove beneficial for both of them, even if she openly expresses disdain for him. He'll go, unimpeded, after SAMCRO, and she'll get the public hanging she longs for.
-- Bobby continues to plan his new Nomad chapter, unaware of the crap storm his Charming comrades are about to face.
So what did you think of the episode, "SOA" fans? Please share.

Middle English (in the sense 'white, colourless'): from Old French blanc 'white', ultimately of Germanic origin.
blancmange from Late Middle English:
In medieval times a blancmange was a dish of white meat or fish in a cream sauce—the 'dessert' sense seems to have come into use in the middle of the 16th century. The word is from Old French blanc mangier and literally means 'white food'. Other words from French blanc include blanch (Middle English), blank (Middle English), and blanket (Middle English). Originally blanket referred to undyed (hence 'white') woollen cloth used for clothing. A dampened blanket would sometimes be used to extinguish a fire before going to bed. This is the origin of a wet blanket, a term for someone who spoils other people's fun by refusing to join in or by showing disapproval.

Routine surgery led to a discovery that could have saved Mary Douglas' life. (February 24, 2010 / WRDW-TV)
February 24, 2010 News 12 at 6 o'clock
GROVETOWN, Ga. --- A routine knee surgery turns into anything but for a Grovetown woman. Turns out it would be procedure to help her walk indirectly saved her life.
News 12's Lynnsey Gardner introduces you to Mary Douglas in today's Smart Heart special assignment.
Mary is recovering from double bypass heart surgery, a heart that beats for the grandson she's raising and a heart that is lucky to still be beating at all.
"This? It goes all the way down to here." A surgery scar is a badge of honor for some and for others, like Mary Douglas, its private. But, she's sharing her story with you to possibly save your life. "Every day I wake up and I'm like 'Lord, I thank you. I thank him every minute, every second. It's a blessing just to be here."
That blessing she counts started with a nagging pain every time she walked. Not in her heart, but in her leg.
"We had to hear about the knee problems everyday so I was like okay, well, you should go to the doctor." explains Mary's grandson Melvin Douglas.
She scheduled knee surgery. Then, she went to a routine meeting about another health issue. You see, Mary's lived with Type 2 diabetes for more than 20 years and along with it, comes a diabetes education class.
Mary told her instructor about the knee surgery, but in that conversation came a warning. Mary was told to schedule routine testing ahead of the knee surgery just to be careful tests like an ECG. An ECG is a simple, painless test done in a matter of minutes. It allows doctors to tell if there are any abnormalities in your heart.
"It came back abnormal." explains Mary of her first ECG, and so did the second one. It was a double blockage. Mary would need open heart surgery.
"I had no symptoms at all. I had a little heart burn but i would just say oh, it's heart burn. No shortness of breath, I get a a little tired, but that was it." Mary had mistakenly chalked that up to her weight.
The real problem was beating inside and it was getting weaker by the moment. "I was thinking i may not make it."
But, she did thanks to that surgery she was rushed to have last October at University. She still remembers coming to.
"My first words were 'Lord, I thank you."
Now Mary goes to rehab three days a week and she takes with her another badge of honor, this one around her wrist.
"This is a bracelet that says 'be smart, take care of your heart.' It means a lot to me. It encourages me."
And her journey encourages her grandson and hopefully, you too. "If you have kids, you don't want to wait until it's too late because it's very painful to them, so go ahead and get it done."
And about that knee surgery, Mary put it off for the heart surgery. Now she says she may not ever have it. Funny how that annoying pain becomes more bearable when you are faced with a much graver alternative.

China Hesitates as Washington OKs Natural-Gas Exports
On paper, it's a perfect match: The U.S. is awash in new supplies of natural gas, while China is trying to get off coal and use cleaner-burning fuels. Plus, the U.S. Department of Energy this year has begun approving new terminals to export liquefied natural gas around the world.
But a Washington trade-policy expert says the political case for U.S. exports of natural gas to China isn't as strong as the business case. Damian Ma of the Paulson Institute says China's fear of increasing reliance on the U.S. could trump its need for natural gas.
In a paper just released by the National Bureau of Asian Research, Mr. Ma says China "has traditionally been wary of becoming overreliant on any particular country for its energy needs, believing that such dependence would allow other powers to exert leverage. Such wariness may also figure strongly in Beijing's attitude toward receiving gas exports from the United States."
China has limited prospects in the short term for tapping domestic supplies of natural gas, and it could have more than a dozen terminals ready in the next few years to import liquefied natural gas.
On the U.S. side, opinions are also mixed about the merits of selling to Beijing. Some U.S. lawmakers, such as Rep. Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.), would love to use the U.S. energy bonanza to export something to China for a change. Others, including Sen. Ed Markey (D., Mass.), have been leery of exporting a key manufacturing advantage overseas.
Right now, China gets natural gas from countries such as Australia, Qatar, and Yemen that don't wield much geopolitical leverage. Still, as its demand grows, Beijing finds itself dealing with some less-reliable partners–such as Russia, which has never been shy about turning off gas supplies to further political goals.
The case of Ukraine may offer one reference point for China. That nation is working with Chevron Corp. and other U.S. companies to develop shale gas, which Ukrainians hope will reduce their dependence on Moscow.
