Your success is important to us. Because success requires planning, the Career Center offers you quality services that will assist you throughout your journey at Saint Vincent College. The Career Center is an integral component of your education. We provide career and professional activities designed to support and challenge you through your career development success.
The Career Center is committed to helping you identify, analyze, assess, and manage career information. We invite you to engage in self-awareness, career exploration, and experiential education, including shadowing and internship opportunities. We also encourage and support all aspects of your internship search, full-time job search, and the graduate and professional school application process. Whether these programs are conducted on or off-campus, they extend learning beyond the classroom. We look forward to meeting you and helping you realize your career goals at all levels of your college career.
The following information highlights the services, programs, and resources offered by the Career Center for all Saint Vincent College students. To learn more about each, please visit the Saint Vincent College portal and make an appointment with a Career Center professional.
Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for a complete listing of events as well as opportunities posted each day.
An Internship is integrated into many academic programs which combine classroom theory with practical, on-the-job experience. Internships are completed by many students who are required by their department to receive credit for hands-on experience in their field of study or interest. Although not all students are required to receive academic credit, many are encouraged to do so. Students may complete internships in order to explore a specific career path, learn more about that particular industry and gain excellent experience in order to become more marketable for future employment or graduate and professional school acceptance. Students are encouraged to complete at least one internship throughout their college career. However, many participate in numerous internships during their time at Saint Vincent. Obtaining an internship can be very exciting, yet challenging in a competitive job market. The Career Center staff is dedicated to assist all students in the internship search process. From first-year through seniors, the student will work with a designated Career Consultant to complete a resume, prepare for interviews, locate internship openings, contact employers and much more. The Career Center also works with faculty and employers to ensure that the internship-for-credit paperwork process is completed properly.
For more information on locating an internship, please contact the Career Center at 724-805-2070. If you need more information on Internship Forms, please visit the Internship Forms section of the Career Center portal.
Federal Work-Study (FWS) is funded by the government and, therefore, must be counted as financial aid and placed on your award letter. FWS is based on financial need as determined by the results of your FAFSA. Being awarded FWS does not guarantee you a position. Students are required to secure their own employment and can work up to 15 hours per week during the academic year and up to 40 hours per week during breaks (including summer). Your earnings are paid directly to you.
The Off-Campus Community Service Federal Work-Study Program is made available to eligible students through the cooperative efforts of PHEAA and Saint Vincent College. It provides students with the opportunity to perform community service work in federal, state and local government offices and other non-profit community organizations located within Pennsylvania. The position must be related to your major and will be considered an internship by the Career Center. To determine if you or your targeted employer qualifies or learn more about the program, please contact the Career Center.
Institutional Work-Study is also available to students who do not qualify for the other two programs. Again, students may work up to 15 hours per week during the academic year and up to 40 hours per week during breaks. More information on the work-study programs, including forms and frequently asked questions, can be found on the Career Center's portal page.

Hollywood vet worked on 'Inserts,' 'Mussolini'
Producer Clive Parsons, who produced films by Bill Forsyth, Lindsay Anderson and Franco Zeffirelli, died of pancreatic cancer Aug. 12 in England. He was 66.
Starting with "Inserts" in 1975, starring Richard Dreyfuss and Bob Hoskins, Parsons, with his long time business partner Davina Belling, produced or developed 20 feature films including Forsyth's "Gregory's Girl" and "Comfort and Joy," Anderson's "Britannia Hospital," and films such as the controversial "Scum," "Breaking Glass," "A Business Affair," "True Blue," and "I Am David." Parsons also co-produced Zeffirelli's "Tea With Mussolini" and "Callas Forever."
During their 38 year-long partnership, Parsons and Belling were, for a time, also affiliated with Kings Road Productions in the U.S., where Parsons was president for three years during the time it produced "All of Me" and "The Big Easy."
Parsons was born in Woking, Surrey and read law at Oxford. Following a stint in a Canadian publishing company, he entered the film business at Paramount Pictures in London in the legal department. He later segued to Warner Bros, Europe as head of business affairs.
In 1971, he and Belling formed Film and General Productions which initially was set up to provide seed money for producers developing feature products. The success of their development fund eventually led to their developing and producing their own projects.
In addition to their work in features, Parsons and Belling also produced childrens' TV series in England including the award-winning "The Queens Nose," which ran for seven years on the BBC, and "The Giblet Boys" on ITV, for which they won the BAFTA for Best Children's Drama of 2005/2006. For Hallmark Television they produced a two-part series on the life of Hans Christian Andersen as well as a number of other TV specials, mini series and TV movies for ITV and the BBC.

Photo Editing
In iOS, a Photo Editing extension lets users edit a photo or video within the Photos app. After users confirm the changes they make in a Photo Editing extension, the adjusted content is available in Photos. Photos always keeps the original version of the content, too, so that users can revert the changes they make in an extension.
Understand How a Photo Editing Extension Works with Photos
To support a consistent editing experience, Photos keeps multiple versions of each media asset's image or video data, in addition to adjustment data, which describes past edits made to the asset. For each asset, Photos stores the original version, the current version (which includes the most recent adjustments), and the set of adjustments that were applied to the original version to create the current version.
When a user chooses a Photo Editing extension, Photos asks the extension if it can read the adjustment data. If the app extension supports the adjustment data, Photos provides the original version of the asset as input to the editing session. After the extension reads the adjustment data and reconstructs the past edits, it can allow users to alter or revert past edits or add new edits. For example, if the adjustment data describes filters applied to a photo, the extension reapplies those filters to the original asset and can let users change filter parameters, add new filters, or remove filters.
If the extension doesn't support an asset's adjustment data, Photos provides the current version of the asset as input to the editing session. Because the current version contains the rendered output of all past edits, the extension can let users apply new edits to the asset but not alter or revert past edits.
When a user finishes using a Photo Editing extension, the extension returns the edited asset and the adjustment data.
iOS users get access to Photo Editing extensions in the Photos app. When a user chooses your extension, display a view that provides a custom editing interface. To present this view, use a view controller that adopts the
PHContentEditingController protocol.
Use the Xcode Photo Editing Template
The Xcode Photo Editing template provides default header and implementation files for the principal view controller class (called
PhotoEditingViewController), an
Info.plist file, and an interface file (that is, a storyboard file).
By default, the Photo Editing template supplies the following
Info.plist keys and values:
In particular, make sure that the
PHSupportedMediaTypes array specifies the types of media assets your app extension can edit. The default value is
Image, but you can also use
Design the UI
The Photos app displays a Photo Editing extension within a navigation bar, so you should avoid designing a navigation bar–based UI for your extension.
Photos automatically displays your extension's view so that it occupies the full height of the screen, including the area behind the navigation bar. If you want your content view to appear below the bar, and not underneath it, be sure to use the view's top layout guide appropriately.
It's best when a Photo Editing extension lets users preview the results of their edits. Giving users a preview while they're still using your extension means that they can get the effect they want without repeatedly exiting and reentering the extension.
Because users are likely to spend time editing a photo or movie in your app extension, you don't want them to lose their work if they accidentally choose Cancel. To improve the user experience, be sure to implement the
shouldShowCancelConfirmation method in your view controller, returning
true if there are unsaved changes. When this method returns
true, Photos displays confirmation UI so that users can confirm if they really want to cancel their changes.
Handling Memory Constraints
Because a Photo Editing extension often needs to work with large high-resolution images and videos, the extension is likely to experience memory pressures when running on a device. It's recommended that you examine your existing image-processing code and make sure that it performs to a high standard before you use it in your app extension.
Testing a Photo Editing Extension
Avoid making assumptions about the media formats that your app extension may receive. Be sure to test your filtering and other image-processing code with a wide range of media formats; don't just test with content from the device camera.
To learn about debugging app extensions in general, see Debug, Profile, and Test Your App Extension.

Delande, Pickett lead Edinboro wrestling team's strong showing at home tournament
EDINBORO -- Chase Delande's win by fall in the 157-pound championship bout highlighted a strong effort by Edinboro's wrestling team in the Scots' home tournament Saturday night.
Delande and Vince Pickett, at 197 pounds, each won titles at their respective weight classes while six other Scots placed.
A redshirt freshman, Delande went 5-0 on the day, including his pin over Central Michigan's Malcolm Martin in 3 minutes, 41 seconds in the finals. Pickett won all four of his matches Saturday, capping it off with a 5-0 win over Alen Turchinhodzic of Pittsburgh.
Vic Avery also won his first four bouts before narrowly falling to Lehigh's Nathaniel Brown 4-3 in the finals at 184.
Kasey Burnett-Davis (165) and Andrew Church (174) both brought home fourth-place finishes, while freshman Ty Schoffstall rebounded from a loss in his opener to claim fifth at 157.
- Pitt-Johnstown 27, Gannon 8: At Johnstown, the Knights' Matt Turek knocked off No. 3-ranked Dave Fogle 12-5 at 125 pounds, but the Mountain Cats won the next three matches and seven out of the next eight to take the PSAC dual meet Saturday.
Also claiming victories for Gannon (6-4, 4-3) were Buddy Blotzer, who decisioned Heath Coles 11-5 at 157 pounds, and heavyweight Nick Budd, who posted a 5-3 decision over Josh Duplin.
In one of the meet's top matches, No. 3-ranked Travis McKillop of Pitt-Johnstown handed Gannon's Zack Zelcs his first loss of the season in a 4-0 decision at 184 pounds.

2009 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan
Select Quantities
Item #22782
Check Availability »
- Size: 750ml
- Type: Red Wine
- Varietal: Red Bordeaux Blend
- Country: France
- Region: Bordeaux, Pessac-leognan / Graves
"What a blockbuster effort! Atypically powerful, one day, the 2009 Haut-Brion may be considered to be the 21st century version of the 1959. It is an extraordinarily complex, concentrated effort made from a blend of 46% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Cabernet Franc with the highest alcohol ever achieved at this estate, 14.3%. Even richer than the perfect 1989, with similar technical numbers although slightly higher extract and alcohol, it offers up a sensational perfume of subtle burning embers, unsmoked cigar tobacco, charcoal, black raspberries, wet gravel, plums, figs and blueberries. There is so much going on in the aromatics that one almost hesitates to stop smelling it. However, when it hits the palate, it is hardly a letdown. This unctuously textured, full-bodied 2009 possesses low acidity along with stunning extract and remarkable clarity for a wine with a pH close to 4.0. The good news is that there are 10,500 cases of the 2009, one of the most compelling examples of Haut-Brion ever made. It requires a decade of cellaring and should last a half century or more. Readers who have loved the complexity of Haut-Brion should be prepared for a bigger, richer, more massive wine, but one that does not lose any of its prodigious aromatic attractions."-Robert Parker

Medina County Treasurer John Burke is attempting to make it easier for residents to pay their second-half property taxes, due July 12.
The treasurer's new automated website, www.medinacountytreasurer.com, offers residents the chance to pay using an electronic check, PayPal account or credit card.
By using e-check or an electronic check, payment is directly withdrawn from a bank account. There is a $1.50 fee paid to the vendor for using this option. Using PayPal account or a credit card includes a 2.25 percent fee charged by the vendor, reduced from the previous 3 percent through negotiations by the treasurers office. The County does not receive any of the fees collected for online payments.
Tax payments can always be made in person at the treasurer's office, 144 N. Broadway St., Medina. Drop boxes are located outside the Treasurer's office, outside Brunswick City Hall, 4095 Center Road, and outside the Wadsworth Municipal Building, 120 Maple St.
The treasurer's office will remain open until 6 p.m. July 12 for direct in-office payments. Mailed payments must be postmarked by the due date to avoid penalties.
Contact Burke's office, 330-725-9748 for more information.
Burke encourages Medina County Residents to discover his new website, Facebook page, Medina County Treasurer's Office, and Twitter account, @MCTreasurer.

The captain's position at any football club is an honour for any footballer to hold, it is a position that commands respect and is one of the most important roles within a club - unless you are Paul Le Guen.
In recent years, Celtic have seen two captains of inferior quality in the guise of Stephen McManus and presently Scott Brown. Neither should have been handed the captain's armband at the Parkhead club for various reasons, but with Scott Brown in the process of re-negotiating a new deal, stalling only due to his agent's demands, maybe its time the club took a step back and decided to cash in on the 26 year old.
Sunday is a major test of Neil Lennon's credentials as Celtic manager. Forget the game against Rennes at Celtic Park on Thursday night, what matters most is the Scottish Premier League. With Rangers playing host to Dundee United on Saturday, Celtic's game against Motherwell at Fir Park could be the moment Lennon is either pushed out of the door or walks out of it.

The New York Jets say the Washington Redskins overpaid for Laveranues Coles. The Redskins say they were just doing good business.
The Jets reluctantly let their top receiver go yesterday, declining to match the Redskins' 7-year, $35 million offer - including a $13 million bonus - for a restricted free agent coming off a breakout season.
"It is extremely rare for a team to pay more than a player asks," Jets general manager Terry Bradway said. "In this case, it did happen. We did not expect that to happen."

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
Love this top and the color is great...nude, just as ordered. Be careful of this brand though. Ordered dance shorts to go with the top and the two "nudes" were completely different. Top is true nude and shorts had a yellow cast to them. Had to take them back and get another brand to go with the top.

I ordered this top for my 5 year old daughter and the fit is very sloppy. She has numerous bra tops that all fit and look great but this one is baggy and sloppy looking even though it is her size.

Elton John knows how to deliver
The first concert I ever saw was a birthday gift to myself at age 18. I bought a ticket to see Elton John at Chicago Stadium.
My seat was about as high up as Sandra Bullock's space station in "Gravity." I stared straight down, while fog drifted in and eerie organ blasts began, signaling "Funeral for a Friend," from "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."
John, by then, was rock's No. 1 superstar; the concert sold out weeks in advance. My anticipation dripped like sweat. No, that was sweat. It felt like a sauna with 20,000 Elton fans and all that fog.
He delayed his entrance, waiting for the moment when "Funeral" crescendoes and the piano rolls in for "Love Lies Bleeding." The place erupted, and I don't remember much more, except a lot of plumage and him closing with "The Bitch is Back."
I've seen him several times since, including once from the front row and, naturally, at Tullio Arena in 2000, where he delivered a spellbinding solo show.
At no time did he ever go through the motions. Heritage artists know how to deliver.
On Nov. 18, he's at the larger, airier, more comfortable Erie Insurance Arena. I saw the Otters' home opener, and let me tell you, this building rocks. But so will Elton because he's bringing his whole band this time. I'm stoked.
Elton just released his 900th album or so, a piano-driven effort produced by T Bone Burnett that's earning solid reviews. He'll do a few songs from that and fans will politely applaud.
But who goes for those? They go for "Your Song" and "Bennie and the Jets" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and "Rocket Man" and "Tiny Dancer" and "Levon" and "Candle in the Wind" and "Crocodile Rock" and "I Guess That's Why They Call It Blues" and I guess that's why they call him a legend.
Just a handful of icons like him remain who can fill arenas by playing songs everyone knows. Though his hit-making days are over, he's astutely stayed in the pop-culture limelight by working with contemporary hitmakers -- Eminem, Lady Gaga, Queens of the Stone Age, Alice in Chains and Fall Out Boy, among others.
Honestly, at this point, I wouldn't drive to Pittsburgh or Cleveland to see Elton. But he'll be here, right here, blocks away. How can I not go?
I'd kick myself so hard more than love would lie bleeding.

Always ready: DeJuan Blair
AT&T CENTER–The minutes come sparingly now, more so than at any other point in DeJuan Blair's brief NBA career. The muscle memory and instincts, however, remain second nature.
With the final seconds of the first quarter quickly winding down and teammate Manu Ginobili streaking across the lane, Blair found and settled into the opening passing lane as he has so many times before, making himself available for a last second layup.
The timing and choreography of the play were impeccably in sync, no small miracle given how little Blair and Ginobili have seen the court this season–Ginobili due to injuries, and Blair due to a freefall in the Spurs increasingly deep rotation.
With 14 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists in his first significant playing time of the season the message was clear, DeJuan Blair remains ready.
"DeJuan's been very professional," San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said. "I haven't played him very much at all and he's stayed in shape, he's ready to go, he's part of the team."
How long Blair remains part of the team remains a mystery, given his upcoming free agency and place in the rotation. A contract year for Blair, he showed up in training camp in the best shape of his life only to face the fewest minutes.
The San Antonio Spurs roster goes 12 legitimate NBA rotation-quality players deep. Their 13th player is a French import with big game experience in Europe.
As Blair walked off the court in the first quarter he was flanked by an Argentinean basketball God turned sixth man and a veteran NBA gunslinger on his second tour of duty with the Spurs–both of whom are sacrificing shots and minutes to fit into Popovich's grand design.
The first person to greet them, enthusiastically as always, was Patty Mills; an Olympic basketball hero in his native Australia whose developing talents remain restrained to mop up duty and the occasional emergency fill-in.
"With Manu and Stephen Jackson coming off the bench, those guys could be starting on any team in the NBA," backup point guard Gary Neal said. "It's unique here because you might play five minutes one night and 20 the next, so you have to be professional about your job and always prepared because you never know when coach Pop is going to call on you."
Against the Pacers, Blair, Neal, and Jackson each scored in double digits as the Spurs' bench outscored the Pacers' bench 57-35.
Many teams would love to boast the type of depth the Spurs exhibit on a nightly basis, few could successfully handle it.
Despite his limitations, Blair is a proven talent in the NBA. The 14 points and 11 rebounds are hardly an outlier, and it's not a stretch to imagine him earning a nice living putting up similar numbers on another team.
Given Blair's talents, contract status, and place in the rotation, the obvious post game interviews sought to praise Blair's preparedness and question any possible frustrations.
After all, this is the league in which superstar players on max deals with unlimited playing time and touches feel justified in rising up against their franchise.
Yet, when asked if they were surprised by Blair's response, each member of the Spurs organization looked perplexed. Of course Blair was ready, they would say, it's his job. So while Blair's future might be uncertain, expectations never are. He will remain professional, and both parties will be better off for it .

Ridiculous Marketing Language
So how stupid do businesses think we are that they think we are credulous enough to believe that it's important that a "Family Farmer" grew the fruit used in something that is clearly an industrial product produced by a subsidiary of a gigantic corporation? I suppose the answer is
So stupid that we are not even aware that almost all farms are owned or operated by someone who is a member of a family.
So stupid that we don't know that "Artisan Lettuce" and "Artisan Bread" made in a mechanized factory are logically impossible.
I suppose there are more serious things going on in this crazy world to worry about. But I find the subject of truth in advertising to be as funny as it is infuriating.

While it may seem refreshingly honest for the Welch's corporation to admit that it owns the family farmers who supply their grapes, (even though slavery is ostensibly illegal) in truth it is just an example of how brazen they are and how arrogantly invincible they feel.

I only know what I read on the internet, but I found the following on a Welch's webpage:
'About Welch's
Welch's is owned by more than 1,200 family-farmers across North America, who are responsible for growing and harvesting approximately 320,000 tons of Concord and Niagara grapes each year which are pressed to produce Welch's juices and other grape-based products.'
You can make good arguments about the relationship between fruit and fruit snacks, but your comments on the nature of Welch's and the farmers seem misplaced.

My comment was about the need to put this kind of language on the package. It's stating something that should be so obvious to people that it should not need to be there. I did not mean to imply that it wasn't true.

Tribune Chronicle
YOUNGSTOWN - Everyone wants to be heard. No one has complete control over who comes into - or leaves - their lives.

Craig and Liz Conrad play Rick and Denise, who are in adjoining prison cells in the solitary confinement unit of a prison, in Brian Lee's "Can You Hear Me?"
Special to the Tribune Chronicle
Those are some of the realities Rick and Denise feel in "Can You Hear Me?," a drama written and directed by Warren native Brian Lee that is getting its first local staging in nearly 20 years by the Rust Belt Theater Company.
The play is set in a federal asylum for the criminally insane. The solitary confinement area is where the men's wing and the women's wing connect, and the wall separating the men's and women's cells is unusually thin. These two lonely, damaged people realize they can hear the other one with little effort (whether they want to or not, initially) and they soon forge a bond, knowing they'll never be able to see each other face to face.
Mixed with the scenes set in the present are flashbacks that show Rick's and Denise's lives before their crimes - Rick with his wife, Denise with her ex.
It's a dark play, but Lee injects the work with plenty of humor and music (Rick has a classic rock soundtrack blasting in his head at all times and Lee put the audience inside his head with Jimi Hendrix, Warren Zevon, The Romantics and others).
Mainly what Lee has done here is create two tour-de-force acting roles that real-life husband and wife Craig Conrad and Liz Conrad fill spectacularly.
Craig makes Rick a manic ball of energy, playing air guitar along with the Hendrix in his head or reenacting "The Wizard of Oz." He gives the show its rhythm and drives the story, pushing Denise to join him in his fantasies / delusions.
Liz's Denise is apprehensive initially but falls hard for the promise Rick offers once she succumbs. She never tells Rick what she did to return to solitary with him (her stint in the "cooler" was 30 days; his was 60), but the audience can see her heavily bandaged wrists. Her Denise is raw and tender, like an open wound.
"Hear" is staged with minimal sets/props rectangular boxes that serve as cell beds, a couple chairs, trays. The rest is for the actors and the audience to imagine.
That leads to some sloppy blocking. In one flashback, Denise's ex drags in a massive Christmas tree and then for the rest of the scene the actors walk back and forth through the space where the tree is.
And while it would have been limiting for the actors, it would have been more accurate to have confined Rick and Denise (and the Conrads) to the tiny stage in the small room at the Calvin Center for the prison scenes and used the space in front of the stage only for the flashbacks. The way the space is used now, this federal pen for the criminally insane has solitary cells bigger than some New York apartments.
But those are minor quibbles for a show that deserves to be seen, certainly by more people than were there for opening night.
"Can You Hear Me?" will be staged at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Rust Belt Theater Company, Calvin Center, 755 Mahoning Ave., Youngstown. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and senior citizens and can be reserved by calling 330-507-2358.

Long Distance Grandmaby Janet Teitsort
According to an AARP survey, 45 percent of grandparents report that the primary barrier to seeing their grandchildren is the physical distance that separates them. Yet, the desire to communicate is strong. Janet Teitsort, a long-distance grandma herself, comes to the rescue with a year's worth of ideas to remain close even when the miles divide. Among her numerous ideas are art projects, recipes, and simple gifts that keep hearts knitted together. Whether children are toddlers or collegiates, Teitsort offers a cornucopia of connection possibilities including a strong recommendation for grandparents to embrace technology with ideas involving audiotape, videotape, email, and the internet. As the grandparent population swells with Baby Boomers, this book is truly timely.

Canisius coach Terry Zeh had seen glimpses of his team's depth in practice and knew the scoring options were plentiful. But he didn't know how it would come together when the lights went on for game time.
As foul trouble plagued the starting lineup, the Golden Griffins' depth fell into place and Canisius opened the season with a 73-57 win over the University at Buffalo in front of 974 at the Koessler Center Friday night.
The Griffs bench scored 42 points - the most since 2007 when the bench dropped 42 against Rider. Jen Morabito (11), Crystal Porter (10) and Jen Lennox (10) all hit double figures and not one was in the starting lineup.
"I'm really proud of the way people stepped up and made plays," Zeh said. "I do think we have a team that has multiple scoring options ... we don't have to rely on one person."
"Multiple people can score when we feed the ball and run the extra pass," said senior forward Ashley Wilkes, who had 12 points and 13 rebounds. "Knowing when people get in foul trouble, someone else can go in and play minutes and score is very comforting."
It was a necessity for the Griffs as key offensive players and starters Allison Braun and Jamie Ruttle were limited to 10 minutes because of foul trouble.
Some of that was an overaggressive defense by the Griffs, who took a few too many gambles at times. And some of it was because the Bulls (0-1) showed themselves to be a young team that's feisty but not polished.
After the Bulls scored the first five points of the game, Canisius went on an 11-0 run to take the lead and control.
Buffalo kept itself in the game with solid play in the low post, including 10 points in the paint and 10 second-chance points. But the Griffs were solid from the perimeter, hitting 6 of 14 from three-point range, and converted 10 Buffalo turnovers into nine points.
The Bulls kept themselves in the game early in the second half by driving to the basket and getting to the free throw line.
A three-pointer from Valerie Majewski cut the Canisius lead to two, 44-42, with 10:22 left to play, but then came the pivotal sequence that gave the Griffs control of the game.
Kayla Hoohuli drove the lane on the break, got fouled and went to the free throw line. She hit the first and missed the second, but the Bulls were casual on their box out, Wilkes got the rebound and Braun nailed a short jumper.
The Bulls turned the ball over on their next possession and Wilkes hit a three-pointer in transition.
That amounted to a six-point swing for the Griffs, who took a 50-42 lead. A bucket by Ruttle extended the lead to double digits and Canisius was full of energy and confidence and cruised to the final whistle.
"We need to put a whole game together," said UB coach Felicia Legette-Jack. "We played a good 20-22 minutes but we needed a 35-37 minute effort tonight. Hats off to Canisius. They did a tremendous job pushing the ball, getting us on our heels and making us think. With a young team, you can't think too much."
Kristen Sharkey led the Bulls with 14 points and 10 rebounds off the bench while Rachel Gregory scored 11 points.
Both teams are off until Tuesday. The Griffs travel to Detroit while the Bulls host Youngstown State at noon in their home opener in the annual Kids' Day game.

So how do you like Bob now? I don't know about you, but I was more than a little surprised by his "I like to be on the Ranch" speech at the start of the episode. There was nothing better than the juxtaposition between Sunny's elation at returning home and Bob's chagrin for having to take the trip and leave the rest of the team. You could see it instantly. I didn't realize until watching the episode that the conversation continued when they went back into the house. His concern about leaving made so much sense as he explained it – not to mention him calling out John for having to relinquish control. I love Bob's honesty.
When he left for Texas, I was actually a bit scared for Sunny. She had no idea what she was in for. I knew Bob was going to push her harder than she could ever imagine. The reunion she had with her family and then Bob surprising them was awesome but not nearly as awesome as seeing Bob in a cowboy hat and riding a mechanical bull! That might be one of my favorite Bob moments in Biggest Loser history.
When Sunny came back to the Ranch, she was a totally different person and it was clear that going home with Bob had changed her life.
Now for Dolvett: What did you think about him in the gym? What did you think about Vinny fighting back? I thought Dolvett was upset last week but this week, he definitely hammered it home, particularly with Vinny. All of a sudden the transformation in Vinny was apparent, and it was such a great moment. Vinny is so fun and talented but it was great to see him come out from behind his performance and really own the moment.
The tension between Anna and Bonnie was uncomfortable in the gym during weigh-in. It was clear they have issues but after Becky helped the Blue team beat the Red team, it seemed like those issues were a bit easier to manage, knowing they weren't going to the elimination room. I give Anna tremendous credit for staying true to her convictions of not being Bonnie's friend but rather working to do all she could to help her – whether she liked it or not.
In the end, Sunny losing 14 lbs. and her celebration with Bob was the highlight of the episode. Bob's seen so many great moments on the show but his excitement when she lost that weight, when he ran to the scale, shows how much he truly cares about these contestants – and especially Sunny this week. When he said, "This was the best week I've had on The Biggest Loser," it was clear why.
Make sure to tune in next week for the coolest Halloween episode – Bob, Dolvett, Anna and I will all be in costume!

The Ethics of a Syrian Military Intervention: The Experts Respond
As the Obama administration readies for a probable military strike against Syria, Religion News Service asked a panel of theologians and policy experts whether the U.S. should intervene in Syria in light of the regime's use of chemical weapons against civilians. Would the "Just War" doctrine justify U.S. military action, and what is America's moral responsibility? Here are their responses, which have been edited for clarity.

Quack seems to think he's superior to everyone else, thus shows his

It may be a much shorter convention now - but there is still much to be done in St. Paul.
First-time delegate Harold Hough of Arizona knows some are questioning whether the GOP should have even gone on with this convention, but says it has to.
"Well, there are legal procedures," Hough explained. "Obviously, we have to nominate a president and a vice president for the Republican Party."
And as a conservative Christian, Hough's thrilled with the choice of pro-life Christian Sarah Palin and the party's conservative platform.
Ken Blackwell was vice-chair of the platform committee.
"This platform is the most pro-family, most pro-life platform in the history of the GOP," Blackwell said.
As for Palin, Sandy Froman, former head of the National Rifle Association, has met her, and says she's authentic and down-to-earth. She also says Palin's reputation as a gun-toting caribou-hunter isn't all that odd in Alaska.
"The last time I was up in Alaska, the second day I was there, someone had to defend themselves against a bear that was in one of the parks in Anchorage," Froman recalled.
Some 45,000 delegates, guests, journalists and volunteers will gather, all below the world's second largest Jumbotron.
As for Hurricane Gustav, Froman says all these delegates may be here, but their hearts are on the Gulf Coast.
She said, "Many of the events that I've been going to, even just now at the beginning of the convention, we start out with a prayer for those people."

SHELBY - Shelby hit three homers off Columbian pitching, scored 12 runs over the game's first three innings, and run-ruled Columbian, 13-2.
The Tornadoes (1-12, 0-5 Northern Ohio League) scored each of their runs in the third. Roni Daughenbaugh and Hannah Hupp each had RBIs.
Macey Schalk took the loss for Columbian.
Raiders keep the
Blue Devils at bay
CAREY - When Lakota scored a run in the top of the third, Carey matched it in the bottom of the frame. It was same in the fourth, when both teams plated three runs.
There was no magical third answer for Carey.
Lakota pushed across three runs in the top of the eighth and held the Blue Devils to one after that Thursday to claim a 7-5 Midland Athletic League win.
Morgan Gangwer went the distance and fanned nine to get the win for the Raiders.
Nikkia Cooper backed her with two runs and two doubles, Aubrey Bickford singled twice and doubled, and Destiney Long-Meyer belted two singles.
Ali Rymer took the loss for the Blue Devils (6-6, 2-3 MAL).
Hannah Draper drove in two runs with two singles and Makenzie Wentling scored three times and singled.
Blue Jackets break
free from Arcadia late
ARCADIA - It took a while, but New Riegel broke it open.
Arcadia pushed across a run in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game, and had two scoring chances in the eighth gunned down at home before New Riegel erupted for eight runs in the ninth Thursday for a 13-5 victory.
New Riegel (16-4) looked to win the game in the seventh.
Taylor Kirian led off with a single and reached third on two passed balls before knotting the game on Kara Scherger's single.
Lauren Zoeller followed with a walk and Leah Bouillon reached on an error on a comebacker to the pitcher before Scherger scored on a pop up to second.
But the Redskins (9-5) would not go quietly.
Maddie Mock reached on a two-out slow roller to third. Megan Hill followed with a dribbler in front of the plate, but was hit by catcher Taylor Arbogast's throw to first. The ball caromed into right field and Mock scored.
After the Blue Jackets threw out two Arcadia runners at home in the eighth, they got a leadoff homer in the ninth from Scherger and combined six hits, two walks and two errors to pull away.
Kirian (15-4) went the distance for the win, and ended 3 for 4 with three runs.
Scherger turned in a 4-for-5 day with a double, three runs and six RBIs.
Zoeller doubled twice, and Emily Hohman lined two singles.
Ashley Baird suffered the loss, but went 3 for 4 with a homer and three RBIs.
Courtney Cramer added two doubles, a single and two runs for the Redskins.
Mowrey powers Mohawks
FOSTORIA - Ed Mowrey went 4 for 4 with a pair of extra-base hits, drove in two runs and scored twice Thursday to fuel St. Wendelin's 9-0 romp over McComb.
Mowrey tripled and doubled for the Mohawks, and Mikayla Gilliland added two runs and two triples.
Cortney Babb chipped in a triple and two runs as part of a 3-for-4 night, and Krystal Krout and Hunter Weidner each drove in two runs with a double and single.
Sammie Digby, Meghan Reiter and winning pitcher Allie Rutter all lined two singles for St. Wendelin. Rutter also struck out 10 Panthers.
Rams bounce Bucks
NEW WASHINGTON - If you're hitting well, fielding well and pitching well, not much can stop you from winning a game.
Upper Sandusky had every facet of the game working for it while Buckeye Central struggled in all three areas. The result: a 15-0 Ram win.
Sara Gier held Buckeye Central to just two hits, striking out four to pick up the win in the circle. The Ram offense, meanwhile, was tough to stop.
The Rams piled up 15 hits while being helped out by four Buck errors. The Rams, meanwhile, were flawless in the field.
Maranda Stansberry, Kelsi Knapp, Jaya Smalley and Justeen Searfoss all had three-hit days. Searfoss and Knapp scored three times. Madison Vince added a double.
"That was one of our better offensive and defensive nights this year," Upper Sandusky coach David Young said. "We were strong on both sides of the ball tonight."
Morgan Wurm and Maddie Boes had Buckeye Central's hits.

Online From Jupiter 97
Marcia Segura
Science coordinator, Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer
Greetings. My name is Marcia Segura. I was born in Down East Maine and lived in a fishing village called Cutler for my first 18 years. At that point, I set out for parts afar and finally settled in Los Angeles California in 1978. I began my career in aerospace in 1979 but decided that the space program would be more exciting than the defense industry so I came to JPL in 1984. I became a member of the Voyager spacecraft team during the Uranus encounter. In October of 1988 I joined the Galileo project.
I am a science coordinator on the Galileo Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer science team. Both the science team and the instrument are referred to affectionately as NIMS by people on the project. Can you imagine how tired your jaw would be if you had to say Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer all the time?! Actually, there is a dictionary of "Galileo speak" because NO ONE on the project EVER says more than one sentence without using acronyms!!
NIMS, the instrument, has a very exciting and important task ahead during the Galileo mission. NIMS will study the chemical composition of Jupiter's atmosphere as well as the surface composition of its moons (including the four largest, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto). How can you tell if the surface is olivine, pyroxene, or green cheese? Or if there is methane in Jupiter's atmosphere? The instrument works like a prism EXCEPT NIMS has the capability to separate the "near infrared" portion of the spectrum (0.7 to 5.2 micrometers, which is just past the red light that our eyes can see) into as many as 408 wavelengths or colors. This spectral region provides information about composition and temperature. Each mineral and gas absorb different colors causing each to have a unique spectral signature much the same way each human has a different fingerprint. Using the spacecraft and scan platform to point NIMS in the right direction, the instrument can then "map" any object... asteroids, Callisto, Jupiter's Great Red Spot. The Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer is a new type of instrument and Galileo is the first spacecraft to carry it.
NIMS, the team, is a group of scientists, science coordinators, programmers, an engineer, and support staff with a common goal in mind: "Galileo NIMS Science!" The team is based here at JPL but many members work and live in Hawaii, Arizona, England, and France. Distance sometimes makes the work harder, but we rely on E-Mail, FAX, and telephone to help with communication.
As a science coordinator on the NIMS team, I have varied work assignments. One of my favorite tasks has been the planning of every NIMS Callisto observation for the entire 2 year Galileo mission due to start in December 1995. I started this assignment over three years ago and it still continues. Can you imagine your teacher giving you homework in 5th grade to be due in 8th grade or planning what you are going to have for dinner 3 years in advance?
When Galileo's large antenna didn't open correctly, the spacecraft and NIMS needed new software. One task that currently has my attention is NIMS instrument software testing; I am trying to make the new spacecraft and NIMS software malfunction!!! Have you ever heard the words "Don't touch, you'll break it?" That doesn't apply to this part of my job! This assignment has been interesting and challenging because things don't always work as expected.... many surprises and mysteries unfold on Test days. The fun and frustration happens as we overcome the "surprises" and solve the "mysteries".
Another task I have is to create sequences. These are really computer programs. We use the sequences to tell the NIMS instrument and the spacecraft what to do next. This part of my job requires a LOT of time. Each sequence we create to do science observations will take about 7 days to execute on Galileo but about 14 weeks to get it ready for the spacecraft. Why does it take sooooo long? Each science team does its own sequence, which is then merged with all the others; problems arise and need to be ironed out. Although this assignment is often stressful and is NOT my favorite task; the end result has to be the most rewarding part of my job--the NIMS data!!! When I see the NIMS images and spectra after weeks and months of sequencing work, I feel a true sense of accomplishment. It was one of my sequences that led to the Galileo-NIMS discovery of asteroid Ida's satellite Dactyl.
When I am asked what I like about my job, the answer is always the same: the people I work with, who are extremely talented and creative. The variety of tasks: no two days of the week are the same. The excitement and wonder of discovery: we are going to find and see new things much like the explorers we're taught about in grade school social studies and history books.
I believe "life is something to experience," so I'm involved in many
activities apart from work. Many of these include my two sons, Adrian
and Matthew. Adrian is away at Emerson College attending classes and basketball
practices. Matthew is a 5th grader who enjoys Cub Scouts and sports. He
plays football, basketball, and baseball; I attend almost every game.
Although, I don't follow college or professional sports avidly, there
are certain teams that I take interest in. Want to guess? Most of them
are East Coast teams..... Emerson Lions, Boston Celtics, Patriots, Red
Sox. I enjoy early music, genealogy, painting and needlepoint. I play
the bowed psaltery and recorder with a group of musicians. I also spend
time camping with my Cub Scout Den (yep, I'm a Webelos Den Leader). Most
summers I return to my home state, spend time with family, and go lobster

WEST Cork Fine Gael TD Noel Harrington has said that the Action Plan for Jobs launched by Government on Monday contains "progressive measures" that will help get West Cork back to work.
"The Action Plan for Jobs will make it cheaper and easier to do business and to create jobs.
"It will support existing Irish businesses and new start-ups, while helping to attract inward investment from overseas.
"The Plan will set the environment to achieve the Taoiseach's aim of having 100,000 more people working and making Ireland the best small country in the world in which to do business by 2016," he said.
Deputy Harrington said that the plan changes the way Government interacts with business, by cutting costs and red tape and contains 15 key actions to make it easier to do business and grow jobs.
Paul Hayes from West Cork SinnFéin was less complimentary however saying that the amount of funding promised is dwarfed by the repayments for the debt of the former Anglo Irish Bank.
"The Government proposals today were mostly a rehash of initiatives already unveiled and the plan is to implement them within existing, significantly reduced, budgets.
"When you look at spending in more detail over the last four years, you will find there is a reduction in spending in indigenous industry.
"When we get behind the spin and look at investment it is clear that the priority is not jobs," he said.

I'm old enough that I remember manually searching through all the text in a document for one word and replacing it with another all by eye hoping I didn't miss one instance. And all I can say is thank goodness for the Find/Change feature which lets me do it all now in a single click. You can find Find/Change by going to the Edit menu and choosing Find/Change, or press Command+F or Ctrl+F on Windows. There are a lot of options in the Find/Change dialog box, but I'm going to focus just on the basics here, Find what and Change to.
Let's say I want to search for the word Egypt. All I have to do is type Egypt here, and when I click Find, it finds the first instance of Egypt. It's down here. Let me zoom in on that; Command+Spacebar or Ctrl+Spacebar, drag over that, and we can see that it did in fact find the word Egypt, but inside of another word. That's not what I was intending. I wanted to find the whole word Egypt. But fortunately, InDesign lets me change the scope of what it's searching for, and it's all based on these little buttons down here. I have to be honest with you, I almost never remember what those buttons do.
There are just too many of them. So, I move the cursor on top of them until I see the little tooltip. This one is Include Locked layers and Locked Objects, this one is Include Locked Stories, this one is Hidden layers, and I'm just going to go through these one at a time until I find what I'm looking for; Master Pages, Footnotes, Case Sensitive, that could be useful at some time, but not right now. And this one, here we go, Whole Word! I want to find the whole word of Egypt. So I click on that button and try again. I'll click Find, and it jumps to the next instance of Egypt but only as a whole word.
Of course, Find What is only half the equation here. Sometimes you want to find a word and change it to something else. For example, I'm going to type two dashes in here. I want to find everywhere where the author typed in two hyphens instead of a regular Em Dash. I'm going to change it to the Em Dash by typing in Em Dash in here. But what if I don't remember how to type an Em Dash, or what the code is? Well, that's where this little pop-up menu over on the right comes in. I don't know why they use the At symbol there, but whenever you see an At symbol pop-up menu, it means special characters.
So I'm going to click on that and we can see all the special characters, the invisible characters, the interesting glyphs and so on that InDesign knows about that I may not know how to type. In this case, I'm looking for a hyphen or a dash and there it is, Em Dash. It types in a special code that I'm never going to remember myself. But fortunately, it types it in for me. And now I can click Change All and it says, uh-oh, 0 replacements made. Well, remember, just a moment ago, we told InDesign what the scope of our search was.
We told InDesign to only find whole words. Well, there are no whole words, that are just two dashes. I need to turn that button off and then do my Change All. It goes through the document and it found 8 of them, so that's great. I'll click OK. Here's another thing I use Find/Change all the time for. Find all the instances where somebody typed two or more spaces and replaced it with a single space. I could do that myself, but sometimes people use weird spaces. Adobe InDesign has all kinds of strange spaces like thin spaces, and quarter spaces, and so on.
What if I want to find all of those? Well, fortunately, InDesign comes with a bunch of built-in queries; these Find/Change queries, and they all live up here in the Query pop-up menu, and we can look at the ones that InDesign ships with by clicking on that pop-up menu. There's a whole bunch of cool ones in here. I'm going to use Multiple Space to Single Space. It types all the weird codes for all the different spaces that it's going to look for, so I don't have to remember any of that. Now, all I have to do is click Change All, and it goes through the entire document and it found 347 of them in just an instant.
Now, there are lots of other things you can do in the Find/Change dialog box. For example, you can find text with particular formatting and change it to other formatting. I'll cover that in a later chapter. You can also do this thing called GREP Find/Change, which is what it used to find all these multiple spaces. I go into great detail about GREP and all the cool things you can do with that in another title in the lynda. com Online Training Library called 10 Things to Know About GREP. Glyph Find/Change lets you search for a very particular character in your document and Object Find/Change lets you find and change object formatting.
For example, you might want to change all of your red frames into blue frames. You can do that with the Object Formatting Find/Change, and I'll cover that in a later chapter too. The Find/Change dialog box is obviously an incredibly powerful tool when you take the time to dial in exactly what you're looking for and exactly what you want to change it to.

With the 2012 Sprint Cup Series over and NASCAR already into its offseason, drivers are getting set to start the 2013 year with a bang.
Unfortunately, some drivers seem more likely to flop than to succeed in the 2103 season.
Some drivers have a lot to deal with on and off the track heading into the New Year, and it might impact how well they perform in 2013. Other drivers are making their first full-time Sprint Cup Series debut and might not have enough experience to succeed in the series just yet.
Then there are those who will be with a brand new team and may still need time to fully adjust to the new setting.
The 2013 season will be filled with ups and downs for some drivers.
These five are the most likely to flop next season.

Broncos' Coach Fox Says Team will Adjust to Any Type of Weather
On using pads during practice:
?I think at the end of the day, that?s why you play the game. I think our guys have reacted to it pretty well. They expect it. We have a couple of routines that you get into. Every year is different. Every team is different. I think this team reacts best when we?ve done that, and it?s going to be no different this week than prior weeks.?
On if he thinks Michael Strahan deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in light of Warren Sapp?s comments:
?First of all, I think it?s a shame that?s going on, but I believe Michael does deserve it. I believe he deserved it a year ago. That?s my personal opinion. But the actuality is, he was a great leader. He won a Super Bowl. I think he exemplified what our league is about in a very positive light, both on and off the field. And so I think he?s the perfect candidate, and I know if I had a vote, he?d have mine.?
On if being ?weatherproof? is a mentality:
?We lost a game a year ago in the playoffs in the single digits. We haven?t had much practice in that. Our weather had been actually pretty darn good in Denver. I think it?s actually a pretty well-kept secret, Denver?s weather. But this year, we?ve gotten a little more calloused. We have had wind. We?ve played in single digits. We?ve practiced in single digits. Like anything, the more you do it, the better you get. I think we?ve been exposed to it, so it won?t be foreign. How we perform in it is yet to be seen. I think that?s true with both teams, and that?s why you play the game.?
On being a coach in St. Louis:
?Steve Ortmayer was an acquaintance that I knew in the league. He was actually the general manager there, so we had met while at the Raiders. I was back in St. Louis and he had said, ?Would you like to be a consultant? Look at some free agency tape.? That was when free agency was kind of -- departments were getting bigger and more active throughout the football season -- so it was actually perfect. It fit well. I really appreciated Coach (Rich) Brooks and Ortmayer bringing me in, and so it was about a four-month period of time where I broke down pro football tape and evaluated potential free agents for them, and also got to stay on top of what was going on in the league.?
On whether he shared an office with Mike Martz in St. Louis:
?I don?t know if you?d call it share. I stole his office. He?d be out at practice and that?s when I?d watch my tape. I got yelled at a couple of times for leaving it messy, but other than that, that?s where I did watch my video. Yes, I did.?
On if he wishes the Super Bowl were tonight rather than having to wait until Sunday:
?The schedule is the schedule. I think if they want to adjust it, they can. We?ll be ready. I?m sure the Seahawks will be ready. It?s kind of what we do. Obviously, I hope it stays on schedule, to be really honest with you. I?m kind of a schedule guy.?
On what his thoughts are on the possibility of the elements not factoring into the game on Sunday:
?What I figured out about the weather is, you just wait five minutes and it will change. It?s changed a bunch of times already. We?ll just wait and see. Really, you just kind of wait until game day. You get out there in pregame. You get used to the stadium, if it?s not a familiar stadium, and you get used to the elements as they are at kickoff. So regardless of what happens, whether it?s nice or not nice, we?ll adjust.?
On how to get CB Chris Harris Jr. and DE Von Miller able to contribute for the game after being placed on IR:
?When you?re a decision maker, you have to draw the line. And in my experience in being in that role for some time now is that depending on where you are on that line, you?re not going to please everybody. So we took the approach with the IR guys, they?ll come in tonight. They?ll stay at the team hotel. They?ll be with the team. We have a pretty large group we?re managing, with practice squad, as well as our 53-man active roster during the week, and they?re all, not all of them, but most of them have the opportunity to play in the game. So I think the organization, Pat Bowlen and John Elway, I?ve been places where they didn?t even bring them today. They get a chance to enjoy the experience. They, of course, sacrificed and have committed something to that effort, and they?ll get here today.?

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost to the New York Rangers Tuesday night by the score of 4-3. With the way that they played, they are lucky it was that close.
After the scrappy win in Montreal last Saturday, one expected a better effort from the team. Unfortunately there was a lot of sloppy play, bad penalties and hesitance on the power play.
With that loss, the Penguins lost an emotional battle with what figures to be a main rival for the division crown. Maybe it was a case of looking ahead on the schedule.
The Penguins now head in to Washington, DC to face the Capitals. Take a look at the slides for some of the main topics for the game.

It was obvious that he was not alone in his political struggle. Ong had won both the MCA Youth Chief and Vice-President posts. Later, he shared that it was due to his reluctance to join some youth leaders for some 'fun'. His decision was not taken very well by some leaders who later called him a 'lone ranger'. This 'lone ranger' will not be alone anymore after being elected as the new MCA president.
The official announcement confirms the new president as Ong Tee Keat (1,429 votes), defeating Chua Jui Meng (917 votes). Ong received more than 60% of popular votes. Chua did not lose badly.
During the campaign period, Ong was criticised for his unwillingness to participate in an open debate with Chua. Apart from not wanting to allow his opponent more visibility, Ong said in a text message that he 'is willing to debate any opposition members but not his own comrade'. Chua did get his publicity.
Some even thought the vocal MCA former youth chief has toned down his approach and they fear he might take a more mainstream approach of not being so confrontational or vocal. Many who supported him want the leader to represent a new MCA which is more assertive and vocal.
Hence, Dr Chua Soi Lek's election does not surprise many pundits. Dr Chua Soi Lek (1,115 votes) defeated Ong Ka Chuan (1,000 votes) narrowly. Without a sex scandal, Soi Lek would have been a formidable opponent for Ong. Ong's initial decision was to contest the deputy president position. Hence, the two would have swapped position if there was no scandal.
Apart from being Ka Ting's brother, Ka Chuan is not a remarkable leader. His mainstream approach of being a loyal BN man did not serve him well. Ka Chuan has repeatedly said that MCA will not abandon BN, regardless. If elected, members cannot depend on Ka Chuan to provide a more assertive leadership to MCA.
On the contrary, Soi Lek has been more vocal and outspoken on many issues since his rehabilitation process. In the end, MCA delegates are willing to let what is personal remains personal.
In my friendly chats with a number of male friends, I was often told "which cat does not eat fish?" - a subtle reminder to men who think that they are on a moral high ground.
Now, what is next for MCA?
Outgoing President Ong Ka Ting delivered a hard hitting speech, "It shouldn't look like as though Umno (is the sole) decider in important policies while other parties are (merely) asked to defend (the policies) to uphold the BN spirit."
"The power sharing slogan is often used and (but) it is deemed lip service," he added.
Can MCA reclaim their political influence? The party should find a place for Chua Jui Meng.

The buzz: Hong Kong's oldest bar, Ned Kelley's is a western-style pub that plays live jazz every night.
The décor: An Australian tourist assured us that it was 'retro-Aussie-grunge-kitsch'. Old jazz and sports posters line every wall, while framed rugby shirts remind you you're in an Aussie pub. But a couple of small design features take you back you to Hong Kong though, like the porcelain good luck pig sitting center stage.
The drinks: Pretty much the usual suspects, with (as expected) a good variety of beers. But there are a few interesting drinks, like a Brain Hemorhage, made of peach schnapps, baileys and grenadine, or the Mucking Fother mucker, which whatever it tastes like, provides no end of amusement.
The crowd: The relaxed atmosphere draws in the after-work crew, the live music gets the aficionados, and the food brings in the families. But they're pretty much all foreigners.
Why you'll come back: The live jazz is the best we've heard in a while in Hong Kong, and the bar is so laid-back, you can pretend you're a gun-totin' badass from Australia.

This cool weather has really helped out a lot with my sleep and recovery. Yesterday I knocked out 1,000 swings and did the following (at home...the gym was a madhouse so I put my squat workout off until Thursday or Friday):
Kettlebell Full-Body Attack (dbl 24's, sprawl, jump through, clean, jerk, repeat) - 3x5
Weighted Dips (+25lbs) - 8, 7, 5 (gotta increase the weight)
Renegade Rows (dbl 24's) - 3x12, alternating l/r
Two Hands Pinch Deadlift @90lbs - 3x5 w/5 sec on each final rep
DBL 24 Farmer's Walk x4 as far as possible
HLL - 3x10
Sledge Gama Casts @16lbs - 4x10
Felt good to do something different. I may do this once every two weeks or so for a while. It'll be my "Renegade Day." Unconventional Training at its best!
Today: 1,000 swings and a few 50m sprints. Legs now feel like Jell-O.
