Indiana athletic director Fred Glass has announced that Felisha Legette-Jack is no longer the university's women's basketball coach and a search for her successor is under way.
"After a deliberate and thorough review of all aspects of the women's basketball program, including meeting with Felisha and interviews with all current players, I have concluded that under the current circumstances Felisha is no longer in a position to turn the program around," Glass said in a news release. "Delaying the inevitable isn't fair to her, the program and its fans, and most importantly the student-athletes on this team.
"Felisha is a wonderful person who did many good things for our program, the University and the wider community. We all wish her much success in her future endeavors."
Legette-Jack has been the Hoosiers' coach for six seasons, posting a winning record and postseason berths in each of the first three but has suffered through three consecutive losing seasons.
Glass gave Legette-Jack a two-year contract extension last summer, putting her under contract with the university through the 2014-15 season. By releasing her, the university owes her a cumulative $780,000 for those three years.
"I am mindful that just last year I provided Felisha a two-year contract extension in the belief that such support would help her get the program going in the right direction again," Glass said in the release. "In retrospect, I was wrong. However, I am not going to compound that mistake by refusing to make the decision that now needs to be made."

Finally. It's the right move for the program and the university. But it is just the first part. Now Glass has to hire a coach willing and able to battle for state recruits, and at a Big Ten level.
I'm glad this was done and that Glass admitted he was wrong, but I find it odd it took ten days to come to THIS conclusion and it only took him about 24 hours to fire Bill Lynch. The WBB situation was MUCH more dire than the Football situation.
Hire Tom Crean. He has done a great job turning around a sputtering men's program and can do the same with the women. He can also coach baseball, rifle and water polo. If Glass knows what's good for IU he'll hire Crean right away.
I have two words for Fred Glass : Jennifer Rizzotti.
She is the coach to rebuild this program and bring it to the level of Uconn. Check her out here http://www.hartfordhawks.com/coaches.aspx?rc=354&path=wbball
First time I heard Coach Jack speak was at an alumni pep rally with Coach Hep prior to football season one fall – she lit up the crowd. Her energy & passion for her sport rivaled Coach Hep's enthusiam. Not to mention, she was a pleasant distraction to offset the mess with the men's BB team prior to Coach Crean. You inspired me to be a dedictated IU Women's BB fan. You rock, Coach Jack!
I'm with you Norm. If we can get Rizzotti – pay her the money and watch the seats fill up in Assembly Hall.
There are two names that need to be at the top of the list. First, Matt Bollant from Wisc.-Green Bay. Look up his record and that will be enough, but he was an assistant at IU under Kathi Bennett and coached at Evansville. The other should be Curt Miller with Bowling Green. They have won 6 or 7 conference titles in a row.
I liked Coach Jack and feel terrible that she won't be coaching here next year.
I wish her nothing but success in her future endeavors.
Glass made the right decision. I hope he'll let the next coach decide about some of the assistants, namely Whitney Thomas.
Bring in Zach Kancher. Rising assistant at University of Maryland, young guy who will be motivated and hungry.
Jeff Walz. Just offer the right amount of money…..
Ouch! That's $780,000 that goes down the drain. I'm glad Glass acknowledged the mistake, because this one was a whopper! Legette-Jack was a good person, but extending her contract by two years, then firing her less than a year later cost IU's Athletics Department cash it can hardly afford to lose. I wonder if Glass's bonus will be reduced as a result of this mistake?
Next time Glass has significant doubts about a coach, he should, at the very least, refrain from extending their contract. I'm still a fan of Glass, but this was a bone-headed decision.
The new coach needs to have a reputation that will attract the top players to even consider IU. That hasn't happened in the history of the IU women. The importance of recruiting didn't seem to be primary as the majority of players were signed in March not November.
I see no reason that IU could not become the next Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State Notre Dame or Purdue just to name a few nearby schools that are going to the big women's dance
Hope he dumped the rest of the staff too. Needs to get rid of all connected to this program.
There are some excellent WNBA players like K.Smith playing for Seattle Storm that could turn that program around. Dawn Staley has turned SC around. They are going to need a great ex player on that coaching staff to attract great players.Imagine K. Smith and Yolanda Griffin sitting on that bench!
Coach Jack, as stated before is a wonderful person who has a world class personality. Unfortunatly, that doesn't win ball games! Her first 3 years here she won more games than she lost with the previous coach's recruits, when her recruits finally started making up the team, the team was dreadful! It is obvious she was a poor recruiter and her coaching left much to be desired. Hopefully, AD Glass and his committee will find us a coach to take this proud basketball school to the upper levels of play on the court. Many people have mentioned Matt Bollant & Curt Miller as likely canadates for the job, both would be excellant! These two coaches get their respective schools who are mid majors into the NCAA Tournament every year! That speaks for it's self! If Wisconsin-Green Bay and Bowling Green can make the big dance almost every year, why shoulsn't IU have that oppritunity? AD Glass, please, when those two schools are eliminated from the tourney, talk to thos etwo coachs and bring IU back to respectability!!
As I proposed last week, I think Curt Miller from Bowling Green should be hired to become the women's basketball coach. He has won over 72% of his games at Bowling Green and 75% of his conference games while taking his team to the NCAA's multiple times and winning coach of the year multiple times. Miller has coached in several areas of the country and has a 100% graduation rate among all athletes who exhaust their eligibility with the program.
Jordan Hulls sister plays for Miller at Bowling Green so a local contact to understand Miller. He did have a stroke this year that kept him out for 3 games but insists that was because he was not taking care of his body.
Matt Bollant of Wisc.-Green Bay is another solid candidate and with his previous ties to IU that could give him some insight.
The program needs solid proven leadership with ties to the midwest. Hiring former WNBA players with neither will not turn the program around. I also do not see hiring Rizzotti with a 100% east coast background would work nor would I expect her to be interested in coming here.
Charles, ditto.
If you want someone that loves the game look in your own backyard. The women's coach at Depauw.
I know one thing there should have been two firings, the women's coach and Fred Glass. How many ex-coaches have we had to pay off maybe Glass should pay her out of his own pocket.Stupid,stupid, stupid.
Well, let's look on the bright side of this. IU women's BB has no where to go but up! Should be a great opportunity for a coach looking to advance their career.
WNBA players that were successful in college and as pros sitting on the bench as a supporting cast IMO can't hurt recruiting. It doesn't matter who the coach is IU needs quality players and a mouth piece that can sell the institution and convince top talent why coming to IU would enhance all concerned. Just a thought, whoever takes the job in order to be successful IU will need players that are capable of turning the program around. I saw them play a few times and they do have potential they need leadership and people around them that can figure out a way to extract what each one has to contribute.
Jack was very likable and her presence on campus will be missed. But she could not pull the talent out of the players.
Having a former WNBA player would be good for signing players and a big fan draw but we need a coach that can lead to the win.
A coach that not only can recruit players but has players that want to come play for her.
I saw Sadie's post about the women's coach at DePauw. So I looked her up. She may be one to take a serious look at. Her win percentage is over .800. She has a heck of a record. The only question would be could she transition from Div III to Div I.
She's doing something right.
Coach Jack did the honorable thing and the right thing by stepping aside. Frustration is so high. Glass needs to aim high and really reach. Offer the right amount of money. Beth Morgan from VCU should be the first person he talks to.
This game is about recruitment and developing players. This a Home town coach who will put a fence around Indiana recruiting.

PHOTOS: Salman loves his dogs more than his women
Dailybhaskar.com | Sep 26, 2012, 17:33PM IST
And, you thought women were his weakness? Well, then you certainly don't know Salman Khan enough. The actor, who's known to be a sheer gentleman around women, is crazy about his dogs.
The actor had two pet dogs previously- Myjaan and Myson, both of whom passed away a few years back. Earlier reports had suggested that the demise of his dogs had left Salman deeply saddened.
The actor, who's a keen animal lover, has two dogs now- Myson (named after his first pet) and Mylove.
Here are some wonderful pictures of Salman and his loving dogs.

Wednesday a close ally of Clinton's, Geraldine Ferraro, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 1984, resigned from the Clinton campaign after being criticized by Obama's advisers, among others, for her recent comments that "if Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position" as a leading presidential contender.
Ferraro did not disavow that remark.
Wednesday night, Clinton apologized for Ferraro's remark, the Associated Press reported.
"I certainly do repudiate it and I regret deeply that it was said," Clinton said. "Obviously she doesn't speak for the campaign, she doesn't speak for any of my positions, and she has resigned from being a member of my very large finance committee."
Clinton made the comments in Washington, D.C., at an evening forum sponsored by the National Newspaper Publishers Association, a group of more than 200 black community newspapers across the country.
Obama, speaking to reporters Wednesday, said he did not believe that "there is a directive in the Clinton campaign saying, 'Let's heighten the racial elements in the campaign.' I certainly wouldn't want to think that.
He said he was puzzled at how, after more than a year of campaigning, race and gender are at the forefront as never before.
"I don't want to deny the role of race and gender in our society," he said. "They're there, and they're powerful. But I don't think it's productive."
Yet race, as well as gender, have been unavoidable subtexts of the Democratic campaign since the two candidates began seeking to be the first black or the first women to lead a party's presidential ticket. In the primaries and caucuses this winter, too, Clinton has enjoyed substantial support from women, while Obama has increasingly drawn overwhelming votes from blacks.
The Tuesday primary in Mississippi, a state where the electorate has historically been racially polarized, generated one of the most racially divided votes. Clinton received 8 percent of the black vote, and Obama received 26 percent of the white vote, according to exit polls by Edison/Mitofsky for the Associated Press and TV networks.
Clinton's advisers said Wednesday that they were concerned about her standing among blacks, once a core constituency for her and her husband, but that they also believed black support for Obama was a foregone conclusion at this point.
They said they were wrestling with ways to make inroads with blacks in Pennsylvania, which holds the next primary, on April 22.
From virtually the start of the contest between Clinton and Obama in January 2007, they have sought to move beyond race and gender, acknowledging that their possible nominations would be historic, yet saying they were running on their qualifications.
At the same time, each has used the issue against the other. Obama's advisers suggested that Clinton was playing the sex card last fall after a brutal debate where several male contenders criticized her.
Clinton's advisers and former President Bill Clinton suggested that black candidates have done well in South Carolina before because of support among fellow blacks there.
Although Obama did not directly call on Ferraro to quit her role on the Clinton campaign's finance committee, his aides worked to keep the issue alive, staging a conference call with reporters to draw attention to the comment.
Wednesday, Obama called the remark "wrong-headed," but said he did not believe that Ferrao intended it to be racist.
"The Clinton campaign has talked more during the course of the last few months about what groups are supporting her and what groups are supporting me and trying to make a case that the reason she should be the nominee is that there are a set of voters that Obama might not get," he said. "And that seems to track in a certain racial demographic."
Obama's advisers noted that his support among white voters in Mississippi increased, to a small degree, over that in South Carolina when some Democrats had feared Obama could be branded as a candidate who only appealed to black voters.

GAM Japan fund downgraded after management change
Morningstar/OBSR has downgraded GAM's £183.2m Star Japan Equity fund following the departure of manager Lesley Kaye.
The fund rating company has switched the fund's rating from silver to bronze, but said it remains "comfortable" with the management change.
Ms Kaye stepped back from her lead manager role in January, with co-manager Ben Williams taking over as sole manager. She remains a part of the Gam Pacific equity team.
The fund is bottom quartile in the IMA Japan sector over five years to May 30 having posted a loss of 29.8 per cent.

Last week I began to share some things I love to eat in Vienna.
This week we continue.
Lets start with a favorite park food. Langos!
Lángos is a deep fried flat bread that comes from Hungary. A few summers ago my family went on a mini vacation with friends to their summer house in Hungary and we had them there. They serve them with toppings. In Vienna they are generally served alone with only garlic oil brushed on and a dash of salt! Yum!
They are deep fried now but were originally made in ovens over a flame. The word Làngos comes from the Hungarian word meaning flame.
When we were with our friends we tried a variety of toppings and learned quite a bit about the history of several popular dishes!
My favorite had cheese, garlic and sour cream. I am hoping that teen will catch on in Vienna too!
At the Christmas market at the Rathaus we did find làngos covered wurst.
Another favorite of mine is the wood oven baked potatoes! I like to get mine with ham, cheese, and garlic sauce. It is a tradition for us to get them at the Christmas Markets.
Finally another tradition we have at Christmas Markets is to get the spiral potatoes. They are one long spiral. They are salty, soft in the middle and crunchy like chips on the outside!
Here is a fun tip for those of you traveling to Vienna in the next few months. During the playoffs and games leading up to the Euro cup things turn up like Fussballs all over here are a couple of pictures of some of my favorites.
This is a pretzel bread shaped like a fuss ball!
Here is a loaf of whole wheat bread in the shape of a soccer ball.
I hope you enjoyed this and that you will try some of these things when you visit. Next week I will share some of my favorite sweet treats!
Linking up with Sunday Traveler again.

Materials, Colors, and Textures 1comments (0) June 5th, 2010 in blogs
I admit showing limited application of model coloring or texturing, rather emphasizing default values for edges and faces. This has been intentional as I don't usually find value in embellishing models with paint or wood finishes. Also, the application of textures can negatively impact computer performance.
Often students send models requesting help on particular problem areas. These models come in all sorts of colors or materials that in many cases are dark and obscure component edges and joint details. It makes it hard for me to see what is going on in the model. Therefore, before diagnosing the problems, my first task is often to reinstate default colors.
Nevertheless, there are circumstances that call for making models more realistic and appealing. And SketchUp has generous built-in capability for sprucing-up your models. However, just as finishing a piece of furniture in the shop can take quite a bit of time, so it is with SketchUp.
Here is a square tea table with curly maple texture.
If you are simply coloring your model, that is dead easy. You simply go to the Materials dialog box, pick a color, and "paint" the model with a few clicks of the mouse. But adding wood grain to simulate the final finish can be quite an effort.
In the next few blog entries, I'll plan to show some basic options and capabilities for using materials with your SketchUp woodworking projects. You can combine material capabilities with shadows, another feature of SketchUp. Working with lighting angles and shadows is quite straightforward and I'll leave that experimentation up to you.
SketchUp provides two different kinds of materials to apply - colors and textures. Occasionally I apply colors to highlight or show contrast. The illustrations below are simple examples to show the blank lumber size required for band-sawing an irregularly shaped component. These blanks would be dimensioned to help work in the shop.
A Maloof leg and arm for a low-back chair showing the blank lumber size.
Step 1
To create the rectangular lumber blank, first make the surrounding rectangle of sufficient width and length for the furniture component. The default coloring will automatically fill the face of the blank. Note that X-ray is also applied in this case to show the dowel joint detail.
Step 2
Open the Materials Dialog Box (or Colors dialog box on the Mac) as shown below. The dialog boxes are
different in the Windows and Mac computers, but they basically do the same thing. In the text box, select Colors- Named and pick a color from the chart - I like magenta.
Step 3
The colors as selected from the color chart have 100% opacity. For this application, I don't want the rectangle to obscure the underlying arm shape. So I create a new material using magenta but reduce the opacity to about 20%. Click on the icon for creating a new material. Then use the slide bar to reduce the opacity. When done, click on the OK button
Step 4
Click on the new material shown in the top of the dialog box. The mouse icon will change to the Paint Bucket. Click the Paint Bucket on the face of the lumber blank. The face of the lumber blank will now be "painted" with the newly created low opacity magenta color.
I'll show some other options with colors and textures in the next entries.

SANTA CLARA -- Residents are pushing back against a proposal to close Santa Clara's historic downtown post office -- part of the U.S. Postal Service's effort to cut costs -- and move services to a building 2 miles away.
In advance of what could be a testy meeting between residents and postal officials Monday evening, the Franklin Square Business Association has circulated a petition to save the building. Built in 1933, it's a survivor of a once vibrant but now nearly nonexistent downtown, which the city hopes to rebuild.
"This is a landmark," said Sandra Polley, 57, who was raised in Santa Clara and lives near the post office at 1200 Franklin Mall. She and husband Brennan have had a post office box there for more than 10 years. The post office is the anchor of the mall, a disparate collection of small ethnic restaurants, beauty and barber shops, and insurance and real estate businesses.
Brian Fox, who was mailing a packet on Sunday, said closing the post office would matter to him. "When I come during the week, there are only two or three people in line ahead," he said. "The wait time is never very long."
The post office is also vital to many in Santa Clara's faint shadow of a downtown. "If you take out the post office, a lot of businesses will be affected," said Jesse Zapanta, co-owner of the Filipino restaurant Toppings Tree, across Jackson Street from the post office.
"The post office is absolutely an anchor of downtown," Santa Clara Mayor Jamie Matthews said. The City Council has asked that it stay open for business.
Raising outcries
The Spanish-style building is the only survivor of Santa Clara's historic downtown, which fell victim to the city's redevelopment craze of the 1960s. Like its neighbors, Santa Clara sought to modernize by bulldozing traditional business districts and focusing retail in shopping malls. The post office building was spared because it was owned by the federal government.
"It's ironic this last little piece of our history is again at risk by the same agency that was responsible for saving it," Matthews said.
The Postal Service will hold a meeting at 6 p.m. Monday at Santa Clara City Hall to discuss the proposed shuttering and moving of services to the John Sanchez Annex, at 1451 Walsh Ave.
"This is only a proposal," said Postal Service spokesman Augustine Ruiz. "We've got a long way to go before we put it up for sale."
If postal services do move, the office's and box holder's ZIP code will remain the same, Ruiz said, and the Postal Service hopes to retain all post office box numbers.
Facing competition from the Internet and a dramatically lower volume in first-class mail, the Postal Service also labors under a congressional mandate to prefund decades of future retiree health care benefits. Forced to cut costs, the Postal Service has turned to closing post offices -- raising an outcry from Berkeley to Palo Alto to Burlingame.
And to raise revenue, last week the chairman of the postal Board of Governors, Mickey Barnett, said the Postal Service is seeking a 3-cent increase in the cost of first-class stamps, to 49 cents.
Part of identity
The Postal Service knows that relocating services involves more than just closing a building, Ruiz said. "It's a part of a city's identity," he said. "You don't see people upset when a FedEx or UPS office is closed."
The problem is, Ruiz said, is "we just have a lot of property around the country that no longer meets our needs."
If the post office does move, the city would like the new owners to complement a planned art and history district, being planned with Santa Clara University along Franklin Street.
"There's a desire to create a sense of culture and destination," Matthews said.
In the meantime, business owners in the area said they haven't attracted much city attention.
"All the focus is on the (49ers) stadium," Zapanta said. He said if the city really wants to revitalize downtown, it needs to preserve some government services there. But nobody from City Hall "asks us how we are doing or what we need."
If the post office closes, "I am really going to miss it," said Brennan Polley. Even if only 2 miles away, the proposed replacement is not convenient, he said. "I won't be transferring my box."

Karen writes, "I am planning a trip to Chicago next month and was looking for a travel cooler, and found exactly what I needed…" Then she noticed something odd. Yes, this leprechaun of a cooler will reward you with awesome in-car chilling, if you can just solve the riddle of how to buy it.
If You Can Find This Cooler, Walmart Will Sell It To You
Go to eBay
I've had one of these before, and it is very important to remember that all that heat from inside the cooler has to go somewhere. Unless you have the AC running (or windows down) it will shortly be sweltering inside your car.
…but they totally keep stuff cold.
@valarmorghulis: Ah, good to know. Maybe I'll just get the old fashioned kind that uses ice.
@laserjobs: I was just doing a quick search online to see what stores to go to. Walmart was obviously of no help to me.
holy crap, this is what my husband needs in his big rig! Thanks, consumerist, for posting this!
P.S.- WTH?? Reminds me of the post about the electric bike that wasn't sold in stores or online. False Advertising!! How can you advertise something you don't stock? Like an auto parts store advertising blenders. Unreal.
Ok, so they are sold out (or the item is discontinued). So rather than buying the item and then finding out "oh crap I need to wait for it" or "oh crap I now need to get my money released cause the item isnt being stocked anymore" they are telling you upfront.
Damned if you do, damned if you dont…
It's a Zen cooler. Or perhaps they just mean "Out of Stock".
@hurkon: that was my thought too…well, the latter one.
Those coolers are fantastic! One of the few electronic devices that takes advantage of the massive amperage available in a cars electrical system. They use peltier junctions, the same fancy schmancy cooling parts CPU overclockers use.
And err… if you are a trucker, these are sold at every truck stop. Not extremely popular due to the heat dissipation issue mentioned.
If you can't buy it, you don't need it.
I want one.
Try Rubbermaid's website, Wait, not there either.
@verucalise: How is this false advertising? It says "not available in stores" and "not available online" and does not give you the ability to purchase it. False advertising would be if they offered it for purchase and it wasn't available online or in stores.
Checking on Google it seems everybody is out
EXCEPT I did find this site with other sizes available.
Maybe it's out of stock, a new product that they haven't stocked before, or it's been discontinued. You could always try Costco [www.costco.com] (product page) or even Amazon [www.amazon.com] (sellers with the product).
Pretty neat — would make a nice addition to my office. =-)
@ffmariners: @hurkon: Most websites just put "Out of stock" instead of "Not sold online". Then again, most sites are designed by humans, not trained monkeys.
Woot has had this item (or one very similar to it) before, and the Woot-off continues (long live the Woot-off!), so don't be surprised if this item pops up. I've been waiting for it, too.
I imagine this isn't so much false advertising as technical incompetence. Probably realized it wasn't worth selling at the stores, so it became online only, and then for some reason they decided to stop selling it online, and the website's software didn't take down the item or simply list it as out of stock.
It likely has been discontinued based on the other comments here. I was interested until I found out that it makes the car hot, as my car has a dead air conditioner. Also, I imagine it makes a pretty big ding in the cars mileage.
It appears they are trying to do the OP a favor and strongly suggest they purchase the item elsewhere?
If you Google the product name it appears that there are other retailers (be careful, some of them have really bad seller reviews) who carry the item. Good luck!
I just looked. I love that it says at the top, "There is an error"
We'll find these in the Wal-Mart, time-space continuum branch.
Maybe it can be found if one passes through the Stargate!
Another problem with these types of devices is that to keep things cool, you will need to leave the device plugged into your cigarette lighter. Not a problem when you are driving, but when you stop for lunch or for an extended period (overnight at a hotel) you will need to unplug it or it will drain your battery.
If you are an over the road trucker, it may not be an issue as you are typically running your truck 24/7, but perhaps not as convenient for a family traveling on their yearly vacation.
I used a similar device when I was traveling with my (at the time) younger children (6mos & 2)and used it to keep milk/juice/formula & cheese cool in the car. In the evenings, I pulled out the AC adapter and used it in the hotel room. It was convenient, but when mine died, I never replaced it, small ice coolers are all I typically use now.
How to buy it? You google the brand and name of it and find it somewhere else. ;)
Try Walgreens, I know we carry these exact models for the same price in our small appliance sections.
If you are having trouble finding one of these, you really must not be looking! They should be in the automotive section of every major retailer. they all work about the same, i wouldnt think this particular model was better than any other one
I'm obviously going to look elsewhere to get a cooler, but thought I'd share this quirk with everyone : ) I'll probably just end up going to Target or a sporting goods store in my area and picking something up. Thanks for all the comments though!
Target has these in stock… and I have 3 of them.
Words of advice:
1) They can only drop the temperature about 40F. So, as long as you keep it in an area that's under 80F, it'll work fine as a fridge.
2) I'd also suggest getting the 110v converter. It takes at least an hour for one of these to come down in temperature. Pre-chilling things helps. Expect about the same cooling performance as a cube fridge. A warm can of soda will take a few hours to become cold.
3) If you're buying this exact cooler and know what to do with a soldering iron, rip out the fan inside the cooler and replace it with a quality 80mm computer fan. I also reversed the airflow on mine and the combination of changes improved performance substantially. Mine at work keeps Coke cans cold enough that there's ice crystals at the top of the drink. Yum!
3a) I've soldered a standard Molex 4-pin computer power connector inside mine. Now fan changeouts take less than 5 minutes and only require a single Philips screwdriver. Might be something to consider. Also, lighted fans are kinda fun. Have a fan which lights up in blue inside mine. (It's what we had left over in the spare parts bin at work)
4) If you buy one of these are run it 24/7, see #3. Every single one of these I've bought and run 24/7 usually has the fan go out in the first year. Only killed 1 aftermarket fan so far.
5) Beware: there's no thermostat on the cooler. I have had soda cans burst when the cooler got a bit too cold inside the cooler and we didn't open it regularly. That said, I still love drinking Coke/Pepsi with ice crystals on top. Well worth the occasional cleanup.
This seems like an amusing situation. I will point out that there is an option for looking at "similar items" so having that page isn't entirely unreasonable (I've often thought to look for specific items I saw a while ago). Personally I prefer finding "out of stock"/"discontinued" pages when I'm looking to buy something in particular (as opposed to finding nothing). That tells me I need to look for something else or find it through something like eBay etc…
I think the only thing wrong with it is that the "Not sold in stores/online" messages are a bit too vague and really should tell you more about what the actual status on that item is.
Just thought of another one to suggest. Coleman made a rather large version of one of these that uses a Stirling Engine as a compressor and uses real refrigerant. Power draw is less than these little coolers and it gets down to 0F with 100F ambient temperature outside. For those who will be using a portable cooler in warmer temperatures, it's a much better product. It also comes with a rather steep price: $375. BUT, there's something to be said about a freezer that can run off a small solar panel and is portable.
OK, if the cooler's not in stock SAY "NOT IN STOCK". "Not sold in stores" and "Not sold online" means what that says: they don't sell it and it shouldn't be listed.
Obviously this must be a data entry problem.
@FLConsumer: Pimp my Cooler?
Funny, but I've seen these at our local Walmart on the shelf.
My dad bought one of those at a local Walmart, they must have it at certian stores.
Supposedly "Not Sold Online" means out of stock (as came up the last time Walmart tried something like this), but with them, who knows?
Hiya Karen:
I have the same cooler. I bougth it from Target, believe it or not.

Kuwaitis coming home: Parliament grants 4000 'bidoon' citizenship
Kuwait is to grant citizenship to 4000 'bidoon' or stateless people residing in the country, AFP reported on Wednesday.
The move will happen this year and will resolve the problem of non-citizens in the country, law makers have said.
The decision by parliament will help a maximum of 4000 bidoons although campaigners had hoped to have at least that number recognized. It is thought that there are 106,000 stateless people in the oil-rich country. However, the Kuwait government have said only 34,000 are currently eligible for citizenship.
The Bidoons have long campaigned to become citizens, writing to U.S. President Barack Obama in October last year to plead their case.
In February, four members of Kuwait's parliament pushed for at least 1,500 bidoons to be recognized by the government.
The issue of stateless peoples in Kuwait has been a long running one.
In 1991 Human Rights Watch, the New York-based advocacy group, published a report saying that bidoons were not considered citizens by their government despite being born in Kuwait and living there their entire lives.
"Today, we have laid down a roadmap to resolve the crisis of bidoons" independent MP Khaled al-Adwah told parliament after the vote, before adding that many bidoons are suffering and being "deprived" of their rights.
43 members of parliament approved the law, while two abstained. There were no votes against. The final hurdle is for the emir, Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, to sign off on the act.

Gov. LePage Swears In Judges From Washington County - Jul. 02, 2013
AUGUSTA -- Governor Paul R. LePage has performed the swearing in of David J. Mitchell to serve as a District Court Judge and Judge John V. Romei to serve as an Active Retired District Court Judge. The judges are both from Washington County.
Submitted photo
"I am pleased to swear in Judge Mitchell and Judge Romei, both of whom have distinguished records," said Governor Paul LePage. "In choosing judges, my focus is on the qualifications, demeanor, and integrity of the candidates, not politics. Judge Mitchell and Judge Romei reflect those priorities."
Governor McKernan nominated Judge Romei, a resident of Roque Bluffs, to the District Court in 1992. Before he became a judge, he established his own private practice in Machias. Prior to going into private practice, he was hired as a Trial Judge by the Passamaquoddy Nation, where he continues to serve on a part time basis. Early in his career, he worked as a District Attorney. He is a graduate of the University of Maine, School of Law.
David J. Mitchell, a resident of Calais, has practiced law in Washington County since graduating law school in 1997. He currently has his own firm consisting of criminal defense, divorces, child custody cases, protective custody matters, real estate, Probate, and civil litigation. Since 2004, Mitchell has also served as the Tribal Prosecutor in the Passamaquoddy Tribal Court in both Pleasant Point and Indian Township. He is a graduate of the University of Maine, School of Law.
Both judges were reviewed by the Joint Standing Committee on Judiciary and confirmed by the full Senate.

Name of website or photo Dog Sweater Crochet Pattern
so cute! I may have to make some of these for my mother's little dog.
I feel this was the absolute cutest pattern I could find out there on the web for dog sweaters. It is rather versatile too, as you can use one or more colors, and even variegated yarn, resulting in various looks.
From a couple of the photos, it looks like the leg openings are misplaced, and pull when the dog wears the sweater...might be a bit uncomfortable for your pup? Have you ever addressed this?
No. I made the project for friends. The first one was a bit tight on the pup, but that was just becasue it was my first crochet project in 20 years, and the stitches were probably a bit tigheter than the gauge, which I failed to check as I was making it. The pattern is not mine, and I have never gotten any remarks back from those who I have made these for.
where do you get the pattern
I loved doing this pattern for my little dog and I have no question at this time

Waste of time. Rude doctor. Rude staff
Went to see Dr. Crawford for the second time today (my daughter and I both had appointments), and was very impressed with the office and the doctor. Did not have to wait months and months for an appointment like other dermatologist offices. Received both phone call and email reminders of appointments. Office was pleasant and extremely efficient and we were taken back to the exam rooms almost exactly at our appointment times and seen by the doctor very quickly. NO LONG WAITING - worth our drive into Philly from NJ. Dr. Crawford was very professional and thorough. Offered great advice without trying to sell products (even told us the things he recommended could be bought on Amazon). Would highly recommend this practice.
I have been seeing Dr. Crawford for several years now. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He can look at blemishes and usually determine on the spot whether or not they are dangerous, and is always right on the money. I trust his expertise and his judgement and have recommended several people to him. I am very confident in Dr. Crawford's competence and he is always friendly and courteous. His staff is very competent and friendly as well.
We drove 65 miles to see Dr. Glen Crawford on the recommendation of a friend and were not disappointed. His appearance (dress shirt, tie, and shined shoes) were indicative of his professionalism and personality. His care and attentiveness was second to none and Dr. Crawford's examination was thorough and his demeanor was such that you felt like family. This is such a contrast to other doctors we visited. There are a half dozen dermatologists in our area, but the two hour ride to Phila. to see Dr. Crawford was very rewarding. He actually spent time asking us questions about ourselves and did not attempt to rush through our visit. He in fact took his time to make sure all of our questions were answered. I would highly recommend anyone seeking a dermatologist to see Dr. Crawford
Dr Crawford has been both mine and my family's doctor for many years. He has always been thorough and accurate. Very easy to talk to and gives explanations and literature on any product or procedure recommended. He is first rate and he expects nothing less from his staff,who are top notch as well. Always a pleasant experience. We'll never switch.
Met the doctor for the first time and now I know why you can get an appointment so quickly with him. Didn't ask me much and made a very quick diagnosis. He barely spend 5 minutes and was on the computer the whole time. Worst doctor I have ever seen.
I had been going to a director of dermatology at a different major university in CC and he had told me I had rosacea. After three years of fighting with a chronic painful red face and extremely expensive medications, I switched to Dr. Crawford. In less than a minute, he said that I definitely did not have rosacea and switched me to Cerave and Prascion and I have not had one flareup since. I can't even begin to tell you how much this has changed my quality of life. I no longer have to be self conscious in front of my students with flaking skin and erythema. I really wish I had gone to him sooner.
This doctor is one of the best his bed side manner is great easy to talk to and never in a rush to get rid of you...
Dr. Crawford is an extremely competent and caring physician. His staff is very courteous and accomodating for us who travel from Cape May, NJ to center city, Philadelphia. With melanoma, we wanted the best and we found it in Dr. Crawford.
I see Dr. Crawford for different reasons and every one of my visits with him is a pleasant one. He is very good and accurate with his patients and gives you comfort! Awesome doctor!!

New York Provides $15.5 Million for Clean Energy Projects
New York Governor George Pataki announced in late August the award of $15.5 million to support 32 distributed generation and combined heat and power (DG-CHP) projects throughout the state. The 32 projects should generate a total of 29 megawatts, about half of which will come from landfill methane systems or anaerobic digesters. The projects are being funded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and, including private funding, represent a total investment of more than $90 million. Since its inception in 2001, NYSERDA's DG-CHP program has resulted in 34 completed projects that produce 13 megawatts of power. By the end of this year, NYSERDA expects its DG-CHP projects to be providing 40 megawatts of power for New York's electrical grid. See the governor's press release.

The Missouri Transportation Commission has taken the first step toward potential success for Proposition B on the August primary ballot. Prop B would raise the state fuel tax by four cents and up the state sales tax by a half cent. The nearly $500 million annually those two taxes would generate will go toward improving transportation needs in the state.
Everyone has agreed that without a specific plan, Prop B stood little chance of passage. I'm far from convinced that it will pass regardless of the promises by state transportation officials. But at least the plan puts specific road projects on the list of promised improvements from the new taxes.
Like all others in the state, we'd hope that Southeast Missouri would receive more funds from the new taxes. But residents across the state are surely saying the very same thing. If you don't travel in Northeast Missouri, for example, you have limited concerns over their highway needs. It just works out that way.
We're glad to see continued improvements and expansion of Highway 60 made it into the final funding plan. We're also glad to see that improvements to Interstate 55 would be part of the funding package.
The real question which remains is whether or not voters will forget the broken promises made in the past to improve roadways if new taxes were implemented. We all remember the lingering question on why these projects were abandoned after voters approved taxes back then. But those questions will remain unanswered and perhaps that's best.
For now we commend the highway officials for putting specific projects on the board for completion if the taxes gain approval. We are more receptive to fund something that will directly benefit our region than some unnamed mystery project that will benefit only the urban areas.
But regardless of the specifics, the highway officials still have some selling to do or come Aug. 6, we'll all be in a pickle together. The real question is what happens if the taxes plans are rejected? No one has addressed that question. We hope someone does in the next five weeks.
Time, as always, is running out.

Aquae Urbis Romae: the Waters of the City of Rome
Katherine Wentworth Rinne (resume)
P r o j e c t d e s c r i p t i o n
|G.I.S. Timeline Map
Follow the urban development of Rome through a unique G.I.S. timeline map that chronicles changes to the water infrastructure system from 753 BC through the sixteenth century. See how sewers, aqueducts, fountains and other hydraulic elements changed the face of Rome, as important people like Agrippa, Emperor Nero and popes Sixtus V and Clement VIII, among others, used water as an element of political control.
|S e a r c h
Search the archive for specific hydrological features (including springs or streams), infrastructure features (including aqueducts, bridges, and sewers), urban features (water mills and fountains for example), patrons (such as Agrippa, Nicolas V, or Sixtus V), and designers (such as Giacomo Della Porta, Gian Lorenzo Bernini), etc.

I finished the original draft of Jack Tripper Stole My Dog in November 2002, almost 9.5 years ago. The first round of re-writes were completed in 2006. Alas, the manuscript has been collecting dust since then.
Earlier this week, I closed the door to my office and began a thorough re-write on the 3.0 version of JTSMD.
My publication goal is sometime before Memorial Day. Let's see if I can achieve that epic feat. For now, I gotta get my ass in gear and finish the re-write.
Stay tuned for more updates.

Austin 2nd Highest Urban Growth with 14th Biggest Population in the US
Austin is the second fastest growing metro area in the nation, according to data from the US Census Bureau, with the 14th biggest population, according to an analysis by the Business Journals' On Numbers. With 790,390 residents and a staggering growth rate of 51% from 2000 to 2010, Austin's rapid growth sparked concern from the City of Austin which heightened the need for a strategic plan.
Local urban planning non-profit, Imagine Austin, introduced a new comprehensive urban plan to address the rapid growth and help capture the Austin of the future. Imagine Austin's blueprint is just one of the many proposals to manage Austin's growth and remain competitive among other cities which have already adopted strict plans by which to develop. City officials understand that in order for Austin to be competitive amongst other buzz cities, Austin must be livable with solutions to traffic congestion, adequate transit to give way to sprawl, water and energy consumption and attractive amentities. Goals including density, livability, community and sustainability are part of the City of Austin's plan to manage continued growth in Austin.

Do you love 'Trading Spaces'? I do. I would never be on that show, though. You want to know why? 'Cause you have to trust your friends to decorate your house. You have not met my friends. They do not have my best interests at heart. 'Cause it's always some over-the-top, eccentric interior designer coming in, going, 'Oh my goodness, I love this place. This is what I'm thinking for your friend's house: circus tent. Big circus tent! Do you think your friend would like a circus tent?' 'Oh yeah, he'd love a circus tent. No, no no no, yeah. Why don't you go dig up the hardwood floors, get down to the dirt, that way the ponies will feel at home.' 'Great. We're under budget.'

So who is God? No one can finally say. That is not within human competence. All we can ever say is how we believe we have experienced God, doing our best to dispel our human delusions. Let me try to do just that. I experience God as the source of life calling me to live fully and thus to respect life in every form as embodying the holy.

The God content of the past no longer sustains the contemporary spirit.

When we unravel the theological tomes of the ages, the makeup of God becomes quite clear. God is a human being without human limitations who is read into the heavens. We disguised this process by suggesting that the reason God was so much like a human being was that the human beings were in fact created in God's image. However, we now recognize that if was the other way around. The God of theism came into being as a human creation. As such, this God, too, was mortal and is now dying.

Father of Two Killed By Faulty Fridge, Inquest Hears
Tuesday 5th August 2014
A Wealdstone man lost his life four years ago because of a faulty fridge, an inquest has heard.
Barnet Coroner's Court is hearing testimony today on the deadly Novermber 2010 fire which took the life of a father of two who died trying to save his wife and small children.
Software Engineer, Santosh Benjamin Muthiah, 36, was able to get his family to safety after a fire broke out in their north London home but died in the fire after inhaling deadly amounts of smoke, a court has heard.
His wife Jennifer, a paediatrician, fell into a two week coma but survived and has been in court today to give a statement on the fire which claimed her husband's life.
Dr. Benjamin gave testimony describing the moment when the couple awoke to smoke filling their home and she and her husband rushed to deliver their two daughters to safety.
The outbreak of the fire has been attributed to a fault in the couple's Beko fridge freezer's defrost timer mechanism—an issue they say Beko was aware of.
The inquest also heard how London fire brigade wrote to the company more than once after responding to a number of fires caused by similar models. The court heard testimony that Beko had known of the fault since 2003 but only acted on it after Mr Muthiah's death.
Beko Managing director from 2002-2010, Clarence Witter, confirmed that the company's decision to recall the model was as a result of Mr Muthiah's death.
Mr Witter said: "When we had the tragic incident of Mr Muthiah's death we felt we needed to look at it in a totally different light."
Dr. Benjamin gave testimony confirming that the appliance had been "playing up" in days before the fire and that she had been prepared to call the manufacturers.
Dr. Benjamin said: "I had got the appliance manual out ready to call up to ask about it but did not get round to it because I was at home on maternity leave and busy with my new baby."
"As food was not spoiling I did not think that the frost issue was an important or urgent issue. The fire occurred just before I was able to contact Beko."
However, she said that, had there been a warning issued about their model of fridge, she would have acted on it immediately.
The inquest continues.

I use this hub for Raspberry Pi. It is compact, works great and the power supply easily powers the RPi.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the shipping box was the size of this hub. It is very small which would make it an ideal addition to a laptop bag. The included adapter was designed with power strips in mind, so it does not cover up additional outlets. I purchased this hub for use with a Raspberry Pi and it works perfectly. Highly recommend!
Very good. Easy to order. Prompt delivery.
