Erika S.L. "Kika" Markham (born 1940)[1] is an English actress.
Early life[edit]
Markham was born in Macclesfield, Cheshire. She is a daughter of actor David Markham and writer Olive Dehn (1914–2007).
Markham has had a long career in the cinema, television and theatre as an actress. Among her television appearances are roles in Edward & Mrs. Simpson, The Life and Times of David Lloyd George, A Very British Coup, Van der Valk, The Line of Beauty, Minder, Cracker, Agatha Christie's Poirot (The Double Clue), and Mr Selfridge. Her films include Bunny Lake Is Missing (1965), Futtocks End (1970), François Truffaut's Two English Girls (1971), Operation Daybreak (1975), Noroît (1976), The Blood of Hussain (1980), Outland (1981, as Sean Connery's wife), The Innocent (1985), Wonderland (1999), Esther Kahn (2000), Killing Me Softly (2002) and Franklyn (2008).
Markham married actor Corin Redgrave in Wandsworth, London, in 1985. The couple had two sons, Harvey (born 1979) and Arden (born 1983).[2][3][4] Markham and Redgrave appeared together twice on screen: first in Lynda La Plante's Trial and Retribution (2000) as a judge and barrister, respectively; and later in the BBC's Waking The Dead (episode "Special Relationship: Part 1") as lovers suspected of the murder of a government advisor. They also appeared on stage together in an acclaimed revival of Noël Coward's A Song at Twilight, along with sister-in-law Vanessa Redgrave. Her sisters are the actress Petra Markham; the poet and dramatist Jehane Markham, widow of actor Roger Lloyd-Pack; and Sonia.[citation needed]
Markham's memoir of her husband, Our Time of Day: My Life with Corin Redgrave, was published in 2014.[5]

It was only a year ago that Bob Bowlsby was taking the podium as the brand new commissioner of the Big 12 Conference.
Now in 2013, Bowlsby has been through a full athletic and academic year as the leader of the Big 12 and stability in the conference is starting to settle in, which the commission enjoys.
"Interestingly enough, last year at this time, I was the brand-new commissioner, and we were just coming off two or three years of fairly tumultuous times," Bowlsby said. "We were working very hard to sell the message of strength and stability and success. I think probably there were some question marks after those three items."
"This year I think we can look back and say we've got exclamation marks after those three items," Bowlsby said. "I think it's been a very productive year for us, and it has been a year that has yielded, I think, a growing measure of trust among all of our member institutions. It really feels like we're beginning to settle down a little bit."
There have been some questions of if the Big 12 would ever get back to actually 12 members.
It is kind of interesting that the Big 10 Conference has 12 teams in its league and the Big 12 has only 10.
Some have wanted the conference to go out and get two more schools to buy into the conference and get it back to 12, which would also allow there to be a conference championship game.
The Big 12 has not had a conference championship game since 2010, when Oklahoma defeated Nebraska 23-20 in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
But getting back to 12 teams does not seem to be an immediate item on the agenda of Commissioner Bowlsby as he said on Monday morning that there are a lot of advantages to having just 10 teams.
"Among those advantages are the strength of playing three nonconference games instead of four and having a full conference round-robin," Bowlsby said. "I think it keeps rivalries strong. I think it keeps our multimedia packages strong to have good competition every day, every Saturday."

The PSP's killer app? Speak Japanese without knowing the language!
This latest PSP offering from Sony is a title that has been shown as one of the killer apps for the system ever since the pre-launch unveiling. See, over in Japan, learning English is quite the rage and you can't go two blocks without seeing an "eikaiwa" or "English conversational class" sign plastered across multiple windows. So having a program that costs only $60, teaches you English/Korean/Chinese/Japanese, and contains all the functions of a $300-400 electronic dictionary is the very definition of a killer app in Japan. But like always, whenever the deal is too good there's usually a hidden catch to it, and after spending some time with the import title, its safe to say that Talkman doesn't really live up to all that it was supposed to be, though at the same time you get some good stuff for the $60 cover charge.
One of the main features of Talkman is that it comes with a microphone, which you place on the top of the PSP. The mic is small, silver, and works pretty well. But in terms of aesthetics, with the mic on you can't fit the PSP into its official sleeve, and because the mic is so small if you take it off it might become very easy to misplace. Quality-wise it's sufficient and works up to three or four feet away, but it does catch a lot of static and isn't perfect.
Getting into the program itself, when you first boot Talkman you'll notice three things: One is that it will ask you what your native language is and convert the entire game to that language, Two is that it'll ask the language of your speaking partner so the game can create proper communication, and the final thing you'll notice is that the load times are very, very long (it takes maybe two to four minutes from turning on the game until you can actually use the main mode).
So now let's dive into a real world application of Talkman. Say you want to walk up to a Japanese guy you see on the street and start talking to him. First you'll go ahead and choose "Talk Mode" from the main menu. From there you'll be asked to choose a specific scenario from about 30 total, such as "Hotel," "Airport," "Greetings," "Taxi," and "Money." Since you're just going to say hi to this guy for the first time, you choose greetings. The blue mascot bird Max pops up and you hold down the square button to talk into the mic and say "Hello!" Now comes a second or two of loading and then Max brings up a list of phrases that sound similar to what you just said. First on the list is "Hello" so you go ahead and choose it. Then Talkman gives you an option to add positive or negative emphasis to what you're saying. Finally you hit Circle and he turns around and says the phrase correctly in Japanese to your partner (who has probably been standing around for a minute or two wondering what you've been doing this whole time so far).
On a side-note, let's see what happens when you add emphasis to Hello:
Hello + extremely positive = "Hello...extremely!"
Hello + slightly positive = "Hello...a little"
Hello + extremely negative = "Hello...extremely" (but "extremely" is said with a sad face)
Hello + slightly negative = "Hello...a little" ("a little" is said with a sad face)

Potentially good while learning a languagePosted: Jan 13, 2006 12:00AM PST by Doug_BlueFang
Well, it seems like they have a European version coming out also, which also features English as one of the selectable languages. (Aren't we English speakers lucky? We can purchase both of these Talkman games and be sure our native language is represented.) Anyway, I realize that miscommunication due to the software not giving you exactly the right translation could be potentially disasterous, but I like the idea of the mode where it scores you on your pronuncitation of certain words. I have a hard time retaining languages when I take classes in them, but that's partially because I have no real opportunity to use it in everyday situations. If I could, at least, pop in Talkman and practice words and pronunciation, I think this game would pay for itself in just making sure my classes didn't go to waste. =P
Sounds kind of horrible...Posted: Dec 22, 2005 12:00AM PST by cranberrypie
It's the electronic, Japanese version of "English As She Is Spoke." Hopefully people don't rely on this as their sole source of language learning.
I'm not so sure about thisPosted: Dec 13, 2005 12:00AM PST by chibitenshiko
That seems a little bizarre. The fact that it may translate phrases weirdly might actually cause more problems than not speaking the language at all!!
Hmmm.....Posted: Dec 09, 2005 12:00AM PST by LibertyCityRuler
So,if you buy it as an import,when you go back to America,can you switch to English and learn Japanese?
Great for travelingPosted: Dec 07, 2005 12:00AM PST by socoo
So when did these hype comments become exclusive to the psp console..., this is talkman we're talking about here. Stuff everything else, this is great and innovative. I for one like to see people breaking language barriers. Plus it makes it heaps easier getting around asian countries. But apparently that doesn't earn any kudos here in America. you know how the jokes go. A person who speaks two languages is bilingual...A person who speaks three languages is trilingual...A person who speaks four or more languages is multilingual. What is a person who speaks one language? American.
ehhPosted: Dec 03, 2005 12:00AM PST by German_John
i dunno... this seems kinda lame. man, psp pisses me off more than anything else. i don't think it is even worth including in the game list... cause i've nothing good to talk about with that thing. this thing sounded cool at first, but i can't imagine it being much more than rudimentary. most of these things are, unfortunately. oh yeah... to the dude with mario talking about psp having the potential that ds doesn't. maybe i'm not in the same dimension, but i'll tell ya... there is no way i'm gonna play anything on psp piss drunk at 3 in the morning, but i'll risk losing my job to kick anybody's ass in mariokart hahah. whatever, i don't wanna sit and diss psp. i see the quality graffics, but where the fuck are the quality games to match?
loading...Posted: Dec 03, 2005 12:00AM PST by excelryu
wow I thought this game was interesting....til I read here how much time it took to load.Only good thing I find about this is the mic. Though this app still might be useful to me since I'm learning japanese. No so useful for anyone else who isnt learning a language of the ones supported in the app.
HOLY 386 BATMAN!Posted: Dec 03, 2005 12:00AM PST by kuku_monroe
My old comp can boot photoshop faster than this game Seriously 2-4 minutes. You must be kidding me
I have the gamePosted: Dec 03, 2005 12:00AM PST by RyoHazuki
If the person writing the preview attempted to read the manual it says that "simple words and phrases (in English)" are understood. Its like using the navi in a 2006 Honda Civic. Press and hold the square button, say the simple word or phrase. Nouns do work.
Seems like an application better suited to the DS.Posted: Dec 02, 2005 12:00AM PST by DJBoobs
What, with it's built in microphone and touch screen. Plus, no loading. I'm not sure how much vocabulary a DS cart could hold, though. Sounds like the loading is one of the things that kills this "game".
Wait here for an hour while i translate...Posted: Dec 02, 2005 12:00AM PST by nbastreetfanatic
The premise of such a device as the talkman is good, but who wants to sit around and wait for someone of another language to tinker with theyre psp's for a good five minutes trying simply to say hello. It would also seem that they need to work on the loading times a bit.
in a few years...Posted: Dec 02, 2005 12:00AM PST by Articuno76
The PSP is blatantly not fast enought to support itself, it might look pretty, but the processor quite frankly can't keep up with most things, leading to load times. The appliaction for something like this in a few years on a format without load times (like SC cards a la DS) is intruiging.
Excuse me...extremely. Did you say killer-crap?Posted: Dec 02, 2005 12:00AM PST by RocketShoes
This sounds like a total joke. Wasting 60 dollars a piece of garbage when you could probably get more accomplished by flailing your arms around wildly or drawing stick figures on the ground with chalk. I can't believe this article even tried to justify anything about Talkman. Whoever wrote this article (David Karlin) needs to be beat over the head with a copy of Talkman until he magically knows how to speak another language. At least it would be faster than trying to use this piece of crap...
GOODPosted: Dec 02, 2005 12:00AM PST by Articuno76
For sony I suppose. App based games like Brain Training are big on the handheld scene, it is why PSP is still behind DS...however the PSPs user base is made of people who are already established gamers and people who are unlikely to play new types of games, this coupled with the 'gadegty' appearance and price tag mean Sony have already stranded themselves in the mainstream market, and quite frankly being 'mainstream' isn't good enough any more, especially when you are selling hardware at a loss and making it a gadget...the reason is simple, they don't make the money back in software cos people don't buy any, but instead use it as an MP3 player! Nintendos conservatism is winning through, and it's cheaper price ppoint is showing that being all convergenfied means little when you can no longer reach new people. PSP has reached some new people. Just not enough to really make a difference.
Tried it out here in japanPosted: Dec 02, 2005 12:00AM PST by atheistium
I gave this little "game" a try out the other day on a friend of mines PSP. They have like a demo copy so i was suprised to here that the slow loading is still there. Its a shame. my japanese friend said a lot of stuff into the mic that I understood and didnt come out as a good english translation. but its simple and if someones willing to stand there for a few minuates and wait it can save you in a few situations but then its quicker to use a e-dictionary.
Why do people hate the PSP so damn much?!!!Posted: Dec 02, 2005 12:00AM PST by surelock22
This app. looks like it sucks big fat ones, but c'mon people, quit dissing the PSP already!!! It's a very nice, very capable, very versatile piece of hardware !! Sure, the games have been slow to come, but jesus christ give it a rest !!! You folks won't be saying that in a year when the price of the system drops and you finally go out and buy one. The DS isn't THAT great, is it? It would be different if the DS had a display that was as nice as the PSP's, but I'm sorry folks, the graphics don't touch what the PSP has to offer. Give it a rest...
Reminders of the Game Boy...Posted: Dec 01, 2005 12:00AM PST by Kapwanil
Reminds me of many, many years ago when a company or two brought out a wide variety of foreign language dictionaries and calendar/scheduling aps to the Game Boy when everyone had to buy one for Tetris (and maybe a few other games). Unfortunately, the main difference was that those aps were very reasonably priced, accessible to everyone, and worked quite well considering primitive interfaces and basic (if not generic) UI's. This just seems...disappointing, especially since major universities and the like have made some sickening headway with language-translating programs and translators. Oh well, back to the drawing board, I guess.
that much closerPosted: Dec 01, 2005 12:00AM PST by Drifter288
It looks like the PSP isn't just becoming a media player soon it could even be a cellphone! But Cool idea for the game wonder if it'll catch on here in the States?
magicjamesPosted: Dec 01, 2005 12:00AM PST by Jobeast394
It didn't say that it costs $300-$400, said that it costs only $60
Ok?Posted: Dec 01, 2005 12:00AM PST by magicjames92
So, it costs as much as a 360 game and it's about learning? If your going to Japan, great, get it! Otherwise kinda wierd.
I Just wanna learn the Curses, But you know they'll leave it for the Sequel..Posted: Dec 01, 2005 12:00AM PST by mandangsbelow69
I know The Japanese love cooky crazy games but this is crazy yet cool at the same time. I would defenitly use this to teach a Child a different language..Oh yeah is this a GAME ?
Talkman hmmmmmmmmPosted: Dec 01, 2005 12:00AM PST by burnoutfan
We would relly need one of those in the US. It can help a lot of things like say one in koren wickh is HENA. Or something like that iin comp. langage.
OMGPosted: Nov 03, 2005 12:00AM PST by samui_samu
You don't even know how awesome this! You see a love languages....I mean LOVE them. I dont know why...I'm a freak I guess. I want to be a translator/Interpreter so you can imagine how excited I am about this.... Now you have a reason to bring your PSP to your Foreign Language class! But WTF...please come to America....don't make me import!
If..Posted: Oct 30, 2005 12:00AM PST by anhmeister
If this helps me learn Japanese then I WILL get it. This might turn out to be better than my French teacher. If only this counted as a high school foreign language credit...
i dont know why but for some odd reason i want thisPosted: Oct 30, 2005 12:00AM PST by The_Infallible_Swaru

For generations, moms have always had a way of taking a bad situation and making it better - whether it be a skinned knee or a bruised ego. Why not return the favor this weekend by giving mom a call and inviting her over for some tea and homemade lemon bread? This recipe is completely gluten and dairy free, but you'd never notice with its moist texture and hints of almond and zesty lemon throughout.
As Mom would say, "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade." No better yet...make lemon bread!
Lemon Bread with Lemon Glaze (can also be made as Lemon Poppy Seed Bread)
4 oz. Tofutti imitation cream cheese (no butterfat version)
1/4 cup Earth Balance vegetable shortening
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup gluten free flour mix (1/3 cup millet, 1/3 cup brown rice, 1/3 cup sorghum)
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup vanilla almond milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract (McCormick's brand is gluten free)
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1/4 cup poppy seeds (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat cream cheese and vegetable shortening together using electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar and continue mixing. Add egg, almond, and vanilla extracts. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, alternating in almond milk as well, until all ingredients are combined. Stir in lemon zest. If making Lemon Poppy Seed bread, add the poppy seeds to the batter at this time. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and bake 40 minutes or until golden and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Lemon Glaze
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
Mix lemon juice and powdered sugar until all sugar is incorporated. Poke tiny holes into top of lemon bread, using fork tines. Pour glaze over warm lemon bread, ensuring that glaze soaks into some of the poked holes. Enjoy fresh from the oven or let cool slightly and slice.

Tips for Driving Long Distance
Alright, so I'm leaving tomorrow for Colorado and the trip is supposed to be an 18hr drive. I haven't drove that far in a couple of years and i'm hoping to drive straight through. I'm leaving around 1pm so most of my driving will be at night. Any in general tips or tricks people have while driving long distance will be helpful. Such as what to eat/drink to stay awake and what to avoid. Energy drinks, coffee, adderall? Things to do if i do start getting tired or tunnel vision? Just shit like that. Thanks in advance.
Got anyone going with you who you can share driving with? I find that water helps me alot. Im not a huge energy drink person but 5 hour energies help me on the road. When i feel myself getting zoned in and starting to fade I try to look around as much as possible even if there isnt anything to look at. If its to bad pull over or stop somewhere if your close to something. Get out walk around even take a little 15-30 min nap. If you smoke not cigs that always helps me focus and concentrate on long drives, makes them seem to go faster too.
The best thing that works for me is other people that are going, helps to socialize.. other than that I would always get up early so 12 hours of driving were during the day..:dunno:
2. If you are alone, be careful, this is very dangerous. You will probably need to sleep at least a couple hours. Pull over when you get tired. Keep an eye out for wildlife.
3. Drive fast, take chances :cheeky4:
Stay far far away from caffein or any of those other things that "temporarily restore mental alertness or wakefullness" lol
Sleep as long as you can before the drive, and don't take too many breaks. If you can stop somewhere half way for a light sit down meal (heavy meals will make you tired) it'd be a good idea. Water only, and bring some fruit with you for long lasting sugar energy.
I drove across Canada from Calgary, AB to Hamilton, ON last winter and we did it in one night. Was about 35 hours of driving with a 6 hour break for sleep. I also worked a lot of night shifts and did a study of the effects of night shifts on the human body.
As it gets dark your body will be trying to put you to sleep, just keep your mind occupied and you'll blast right through it. That said there's nothing wrong with a power nap for 30 mins at 2:00 am so help you push through. Are you snowboarding or anything the day you get there? You're probably going to be wigged out for a few hours after the drive lol :D
Oversleep the night before and drink a shit ton of water. If you keep having to go pee it's gonna be really hard to fall asleep. Also, those 5 hour energy things fucking work. They last longer than 5 to me. Like 7 hours or so and never let you down.
Make games of it as you drive, try and hug a line as much as you can. Bring a tablet and "listen" to a TV show or something, podcasts too. Spontaneously pull over, and take a 5 minute walk in the woods just to see what's there.
get a great angry music playlist, full of songs to get you singing and awake lol
To add to the tips above listen to some spoken word/comedy/audio book instead of music. This engages you into the topic/story and you inherently pay attention and stay awake to not loose track of what is being said unlike music which you can tune in and out from.
There's a couple of long-distance drivers on here whose opinions carry a lot more weight than mine, but....
I've done the cross Canada drive several times as well as regular 15 hour drives to see family.
Drink lots of water. Get some podcasts or spoken word books. Sleep when tired. A 45 minute nap does me more good in the long run than an energy drink. Energy drinks get me thru the last 3 hours of a long drive, but leave me in worse shape if I use them to get thru the middle part.
Pace your speed in the first half of the trip. Yes, you can drive faster but the fatigue factor goes way up, you'll pay for it in hours 10 and 11. Cruise control is your friend, set it the speed of traffic and make up the time when there's no traffic.

Mercyhurst sweeps Gannon in baseball doubleheader
The Mercyhurst baseball team is off to a quick start to its PSAC schedule.
The Lakers kept that momentum rolling Thursday, sweeping Gannon in a doubleheader at Mercyhurst Baseball Field. The Lakers took Game 1 4-0 behind big efforts from Brendan Cox and Dan Altavilla, before claiming a 4-2 win in game two.
Mercyhurst (13-5, 5-1 PSAC) started quickly in the opening game. In the bottom of the first, Cox tripled with two men on, and later scored on a fielder's choice to give the Lakers a 3-0 lead.
Altavilla, who was awarded several pitching accolades earlier this week, then came on and tossed seven shutout innings for the Lakers. Altavilla improved to 4-0, and struck out 11 batters while allowing just five hits.
In Game 2, Dan Popio's two-run single in the fifth inning propelled the Lakers to their fourth straight win.
Popio's single, which drove in Joe Pantano and Ryan Siegel, sparked a three-run inning to put the Lakers ahead for good.
John Klein and Colin McKenn combined to allow just six hits on the mound for Mercyhurst. Klein tossed six strong innings, surrendering just two runs while striking out 10. McKee then picked up his second save of the season by retiring all three batters he faced in the seventh inning.
The teams will meet again today for a doubleheader at Gannon, with the opener beginning at 1 p.m.
- GU's Ranta earns PSAC honor: Gannon infielder Zack Ranta has been named the PSAC Western Division Baseball player of the week after a strong weekend against California.
Ranta led the Golden Knights to a split in the four games, hitting .500 with a .750 slugging percentage.
In the first game, Ranta went 2-for-3 with one RBI, and he scored the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Ranta then hit a two-run home run in the third inning of Gannon's 4-2 victory in game three.

Whatever Happened to Indiana's Damon Bailey?
January 15th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
For all the constant change and upheaval, college basketball is cyclical in nature.
Indiana has the look of a national title contender this season. The fifth-ranked Hoosiers ran their record to 15–1 on Saturday thanks to Cody Zeller, a homegrown 7-footer whose all-around game makes Indiana residents misty-eyed.
It's a familiar refrain in comparison to what was transpiring two decades ago in Bloomington. Only then it was a sweet-shooting guard from nearby Bedford, IN, named Damon Bailey who held his home state in thrall while keeping the Hoosiers atop the college basketball landscape.
At Indiana, the 6-foot-3 Bailey made it to one Final Four (1992), one Elite Eight (1993) and two Sweet Sixteens (1991 and 1994). He was the 1991 Big Ten Freshman of the Year and nearly 20 years after graduating, he is still seventh on the Hoosiers' all-time scoring list (1,741).
Then, after four years at the center of the college basketball universe, Bailey seemed to disappear. Knee injuries prevented him from ever suiting up in the NBA, although he did spend five years playing in the CBA and France. When the 2000s rolled around, Bailey's playing career was done.
Bailey's cult status among Hoosiers fans has never truly waned. Yet there's no need to tread far off the beaten path to find him. He's back in the place where "The Legend of Damon Bailey" truly began.
Bedford is a small, south central Indiana town of 13,413 in Lawrence County — one county over from where Larry Bird grew up in French Lick. At 1101 12th Street, you'll find Hawkins Bailey Warehouse, a maintenance supply company that sells lubricants, grease, filters, coolant, fuel conditioner, batteries and other equipment for off-highway equipment and highway trucks.
Bailey co-founded the Warehouse in 1994 — the year he graduated from IU — with Randy Hawkins. He is still the company's co-owner. Bailey did not respond to requests for an interview.
There's something quintessentially, small-town Indiana about Bailey's adult life, so much so that it seems tailor-made for a John Mellencamp song. He's married to his sweetheart from middle school, Stacey. Together they have three children, daughters Alexa and Loren and a son, Brayton. Alexa is in her sophomore season at Bailey's alma mater, Bedford North Lawrence High School.
"A very smart player; a coaches kid and understands the game and what we want done," Bailey told the Louisville Courier-Journal last July, when he was coaching both Alexa and Loren on the Indiana Elite 14-and-under girls' AAU team. "She's a kid who really likes the game and wants to get better, so we'll see where it takes her."
For now, it's taken Alexa to a court named after her father. And with good reason.
These days, if a middle schooler is ordained as basketball's "Next Big Thing," hardly anyone bats an eye. Recruiting has evolved so much that potential future stars are identified at a younger and younger age. But it wasn't always like that.
Bailey was just a 14-year-old eighth grader in 1986 when then Indiana coach Bobby Knight remarked to author John Feinstein — whose season spent covering the Hoosiers would yield the best-selling book "A Season on the Brink" — that "Damon Bailey is better than any guard we have right now. I don't mean potentially better, I mean better today."
The pressure of being so wildly praised by a coaching icon (and a god as far as Indiana fans and residents were concerned) could have gotten to Bailey. If anything, he fulfilled Knight's prophecy and then some.
Despite the fact that Bedford North Lawrence was annually undersized in comparison to many of its opponents, Bailey led the Stars to three state Final Fours. He scored a still-standing Indiana record 3,134 points, the final 30 of which he netted in a 1990 state championship game victory against previously undefeated Concord High School in front of 41,000 people at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis.
The "Bailey Legend" only grew when he moved on to the Hoosiers. He was a role player in support of the likes of Alan Henderson and 1993 National Player of the Year Calbert Cheaney, yet IU's sports information office "received more requests for Bailey photos, autographs and appearances than for any other player," as Sports Illustrated's William F. Reed wrote in December 1993. That Bailey's IU teams were wildly successful (a combined 108–26 over four seasons) surely helped.
It will be 19 years this March that Bailey last played at Indiana. The "Bailey Legend" is now confined to the annals. It was briefly resuscitated when he returned to his high school alma mater to coach the basketball team, only to dissipate when he resigned after two seasons and a 23–19 record in 2007.
"In my situation with a family and trying to be a high school coach and having a business as well, trying to juggle all three of those, something is always going to suffer," he said in March 2007 after tendering his resignation. "I think the basketball program was the one that I decided to put third, and that's not fair to the program and that's not fair to the kids that are there."
It's still evident today that Bailey's priorities are his family, his business and his hometown as the real-life equivalent of Hoosiers' Jimmy Chitwood.
Yes, life is still sweet for Damon Bailey – even if we're no longer talking about his jump shot.

Feel the uncertainty, doubt, and danger faced by the pioneer women of Kansas as they defend their homes and pray for their men during the Civil War.
We think the Civil War took place in the South, but the Plains States endured their share of battles and tragedy. Not only did Kansas and Missouri experience a resurgence in the terrorist raids that had plagued them in the years before the war, but the Confederate Army tried several times to sweep across the Great Plains and capture the West.
Stitch of Courage, the third book in the Trail of Thread series, tells the story of the orphaned Maggie Kennedy, who followed her brothers to Kansas in the late 1850s. The niece of Margaret Ralston Kennedy, the main character in Hubalek's Thimble of Soil book, Maggie married the son of Deborah Pieratt, whose story was told in the Hubalek's Trial of Thread book.
In letters to her sister in Ohio, Maggie describes how the women of Kansas faced the demons of the Civil War, fighting bravely to protect their homes and families while never knowing from one day to the next whether their men were alive or dead on the faraway battlefield.

Officials from the State Bar of Texas took the next step in their disciplinary action against the embattled prosecutor from the 1999 Tulia drug bust.
Bar officials Wednesday filed a disciplinary petition against Terry McEachern with the Texas Supreme Court, the next step in the process of bringing the disciplinary action to trial.
"This document initiates the disciplinary action against Mr. McEachern," said Mark Pinckard, projects director with the bar. "It will now be up to the Supreme Court to appoint a judge from outside that judicial region to hear the case."
McEachern, who lost his bid for re-election in the March Republican primary, could not be reached for comment Wednesday, but he said previously that bar regulations prevent him from commenting on the case.

After Quake, Focus Turns to Reconstruction
SANTIAGO, Chile—Chile's stringent, well-enforced building codes saved most modern buildings and countless lives. Still, extensive use of adobe in older structures meant that many of those buildings fell in the hardest-hit regions of the country.
The widespread destruction of older buildings—together with damage to bridges and roads, and coastal flooding caused by the tsunami—opens a potential windfall for Chile's well-developed construction industry.
While the country's main stock index, the Ipsa blue chip index, fell 1.18% Monday, its first day of trading since the earthquake Saturday, shares of cement company Cementos Bío Bío S.A. soared 16.37% as investors anticipated demand for building supplies to surge.
More than 720 people were killed in Saturday's earthquake, an 8.8 magnitude temblor that ranks as the world's fifth-largest on record. Chile has endured many earthquakes—including the most powerful ever recorded, a 9.5 behemoth that hit the country in 1960—and Saturday's was the worst in 50 years. Chileans have applied the hard lessons learned from those earthquakes in adopting building codes for new structures.
A major reason the Jan. 12 Haiti quake claimed more than 220,000 victims is because buildings in the Caribbean country weren't built with the sturdy practices Chile requires.
In the country's capital, the oldest districts that suffered the greatest damage, because many houses are constructed of adobe, a mixture of mud and straw that can support large amounts of weight, but can't withstand the violent undulations caused by earthquakes.
By contrast, the country's modern high-rises withstood the tremendous shaking because of standards adopted in 1996, said Christian Seal, professor of civil engineering at the University of Santiago de Chile. New buildings in Chile must be inspected by third parties for design and construction. They must also be approved by local authorities.
"The buildings that fell down were old adobe buildings," said Seal. "Only in exceptional cases did new buildings collapse."
Chile's building code is similar to that used in the U.S., said Bill Holmes, a member of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, based in Oakland, Calif. Standards for concrete, he said, are almost identical. Many of the skyscrapers that pierce Santiago's skyline are built around frame-construction designs that use reinforced concrete—concrete with iron or steel mesh embedded in it.
As scientists have learned more about earthquakes, they have developed new ways to keep buildings from falling down. So-called moment-resisting frames join columns and beams in a way that absorbs the energy of a temblor, whereas steel-frame bracing, such as the X-shaped grid on the exterior of Chicago's John Hancock building, also absorb lateral forces. One of the newest techniques, base isolation, places bearings between a building and its foundation. That way, the foundation—not the rest of the building—absorbs most of the shaking, said Bill Baker, a partner at Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP, an engineering firm based in Chicago. Base isolation was used in the international terminal at San Francisco International Airport, which opened in 2000.
Strongest Earthquakes
Chile has historically relied on an older—but tried and true—technology: reinforced concrete shear walls. Those walls, which are typically anchored to the foundation and designed to withstand lateral forces, "put more earthquake resistance into the system," said Daniel Abrams, Willet Professor of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
"Chilean construction practices have had more of that than other countries," he said. A 1987 report to the National Science Foundation reported that wall density—the ratio of wall area to floor area—is "typically much higher in Chilean construction than in construction in seismic zones in the United States."
Chilean construction companies have had experience repairing earthquake-related damage, particularly in the wake of a 1985 temblor that measured 7.7 in magnitude. And there is unlikely to be any shortage of cranes and other equipment for the cleanup, demolition and construction work. Chile has dealer networks for many machinery makers, such as Caterpillar Inc., Komatsu Ltd., Deere & Co., and Terex Corp..
"Chile is much, much better off than Haiti," said Charles Yengst, president of Yengst Associates Inc., a machinery market consultancy in Connecticut. "Chile is a pretty good size market for equipment. The dealers they have there are first class.They probably have more equipment than they'll ever need in the country and if there's a need for more, they'll go to Argentina or Brazil"
Construction companies are holding impromptu board meetings to evaluate how they will meet the onslaught in demand for construction materials, said one executive who asked not to be named. He said highly sought items will include light building materials such as paneling, drywall and fiber board.
Chile has plenty of capacity because many factories making those materials to be shipped to the U.S. during the housing boom, have idled production capacity or shut down in the wake of the global financial crisis. In the south, the government will likely push for rapid construction of light housing to get people shelter ahead of May, when the country's fall gives way to winter, and rain in some of the hardest struck areas, the executive said.

Teddy Linz was being interviewed two weeks ago by a teacher, a few days before preschool graduation. Call it an exit interview.
"How old are you?" asked Sherri Fickenscher.
"Six," Teddy said. "Siiiiix," he repeated, slumping his shoulders, slowing his voice.
"I'm soooo ooold," he continued, and fell from his chair pretending to be dead.
What is remarkable about this moment is that Teddy is profoundly deaf, meaning that he was born unable to hear anything.
He has been taught to listen and speak so well that he will start mainstream kindergarten at the private Haverford School next month. And he has learned - on his own, just by being tuned in to a world of sound - to mimic how he believes old people speak.

- Referral – The referral process at the Johns Hopkins Hospital can be self- or physician-referred. It is important to complete all required paper work in a timely manner. This paperwork is essential to setting up your evaluation appointment.
- Evaluation – You will meet with several members of the transplant team to determine your transplant eligibility status. The evaluation appointment is a comprehensive medical appointment which may result in additional medical testing.
- Organ Donors – The organ you receive may be from a cadaveric or a living donor. The kidney transplant program at Johns Hopkins specializes in living donation programs. If you have a friend or family member interested in living donation they are encouraged to call us at 410-614-9345.
- The Waiting List – The United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS) manages the deceased donor waiting list for the United States. This national registry tracks all transplant candidates and determines their placement on the list. Each organ has their own unique process in regards to the waitlist.
- Receiving the call – Unless your transplant is scheduled, you'll receive a phone call when a donor organ becomes available.

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) - Northwestern University President Henry Bienen said Tuesday he supports his athletics department's actions in the summer workout death of football player Rashidi Wheeler.
But Bienen said the school's review of the death shows that the results of the drills conducted during the team's summer workouts were reported to the coaching staff, which he called a secondary violation of NCAA guidelines.
"We already have reported these apparent violations to the NCAA and we have self-imposed penalties," including dropping six of its allotted football practices, Bienen said in a statement. "We are hopeful that the NCAA will accept these penalties."

DEAR ABBY: Although I love my 7-year-old daughter, "Emma," I do not "like" her. It's because I dislike my ex-husband, "Scott," so much. He was verbally and emotionally abusive and left me while I was pregnant. The experience left me hurt and humiliated, and I continue to harbor resentment toward him.
I'm happily remarried now, but Emma is a constant reminder of my bad marriage. I feel she's selfish, rude, lazy and disrespectful - characteristics Scott possesses. I have little tolerance for her behavior and I'm hard on her. Sometimes I feel like I'm talking with him instead of to a little girl.

RALEIGH, N.C. — School districts statewide would be responsible for more operational and legal costs related to school bus service if the General Assembly approves portions of Gov. Beverly Perdue's proposed 2012 budget.
Perdue proposes eliminating the $57 million the state would spend on replacing school buses. She also wants local governments to pick up the costs for workers' compensation claims for drivers, which are estimated at $35 million statewide, High Point Enterprise reports.
Moreover, the governor's recommended budget would retain teacher and teaching assistant jobs, but reduce transportation, central office, custodian and other staff.
Guilford County Schools (GCS) is one district that would be impacted by the governor's proposed transportation funding changes. Jeff Harris, GCS transportation director, told the district's board of education last week, "This could cost us millions of dollars," High Point Enterprise reports.
In addition to reductions in funding for several departments and district personnel, GCS would reportedly have to pay more to the employee retirement fund and more for employee health insurance.

The BX-25 magazine will work in all vintages of Ruger 10/22 and SR-22® rifles, as well as all Ruger Charger™ pistols.
77/22 isn't mentioned.
I have a 77/17HMR, and that magazine fits a variety of Ruger rifles. Except the 10/22 isn't listed, and neither is the 77/22.
Different part numbers for standard 10rd magazines, so I'm guessing there is some small difference that keeps them from being interchangeable.
Maybe someone happens to own both and can provide a definite answer?
January 6, 2012, 04:41 PM
No i won't . Same mags as used in the lever rifle but not the 10/series.
January 6, 2012, 06:09 PM
I have a 77/22 and occasionally use an old Butler Creek 25 round magazine with it. Not the best fit, but it works. The mag is probably twenty years old, so I don't know if it is the same as what you are looking at. More than anything, it ruins the handling of the rifle. Buy a couple of extra 10 rounders and call it good.
January 6, 2012, 07:29 PM
used one of the new 25 rounders in any/all of my 3 M77/22's
and they have worked perfectly......25 rounds out of a bolt gun is a lot of shooting....:)
January 6, 2012, 09:55 PM
The BX-25 magazine works fine in my 77/22. The difference in the 10/22 & the 77/22 10 rd. magazines is the bottom is rounded on the 10/22 & flat on the 77/22. The standard 10 round 10/22 magazine also works in the 77/22.

Airport's runway expansion OK'dNovember 13,2013Airport's runway
extension is OK'd
WILMINGTON — Plans to upgrade and continue the revitalization of a southern Vermont airport have gotten another big boost after Wilmington's Development Review Board approved a plan that to extend the runway.
The conditional-use permit issued last week calls for a runway that would be no more than 4,450 feet long and 75 feet wide.
Much of the airport is in Dover, but a section of the runway is in Wilmington.
Earlier this year the former Mount Snow Airport was purchased and renamed the Deerfield Valley Airport. It's part of a broader plan to bring more visitors to the region.

Marlowe may well have written Dido, Queen of Carthage while still a student at Cambridge, circa 1580-84, although it was first published in 1594. It certainly shares with his other student work, which consisted primarily of translations from Ovid and perhaps from Lucan, a strongly marked dependency on its source—in this case Virgil's Aeneid—and indeed follows it so closely in some places that it does take on much of the character of a translation. It thus tells very much the same story as was already well-known. Aeneas is the son of the Trojan Anchises and the goddess Venus. Together with his wife Creusa, his son Ascanius, and his old father Anchises, he lives in Troy during the period of its ten-year siege by the G…

The Phillies know whom they will start in that Game 1 at Citizens Bank Park.
"Yeah," Charlie Manuel said. "I'll ask Dubee if we want to announce it first."
A few feet away, Rich Dubee, the pitching coach, stood and listened.
"Dubee, do you want to announce it?" a reporter asked.
"No," he said.

2002 Jeep Liberty Limited 4dr 2WD SUV (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
One of the worse vehicles I have ever driven. I have only had my 2002 jeep for a year and i have had to replace the power steering 2 times, the oil had a leak in it so I had to fix that, we fixed the starter 2 months ago and now it won't start again, the heat went out in it and nobody can seem to find the problem with it. It is not a reliable vehicle and I wouldn't trust it.
I love the build of the vehicle and it has good space in the vehicle.
The whole mechanics of the vehicle needs to be changed.
2002 Jeep Liberty Limited 4dr 2WD SUV (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
I purchased my 2002 liberty in 2004.
I have loved this vehicle since I first purchased it, the maintanence cost have been very low, I have maintained this vehicle almost to perfection with regular oil changes etc. One day it stopped working with no warning, Come to find out the engine is blown, now with more research I am finding this is a known issue.
I dont even have 109,000 miles on this vehicle, it is in almost perfect condition.
Now I am stuck with a worthless vehicle that I cannot even trade in, I am very disappointed I would have purchased another Jeep in a heartbeat had this not happened, now I will never touch Chrysler/Jeep again.
2002 Jeep Liberty Limited 4dr 2WD SUV (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
This car just won't die!My wife has been driving hers for the past few years,now has 187k on it and still truckin'. We have had some issues, entire exhaust system,some front end work, but nothing huge and serious, knock on wood! We did have unresolved 4WD issues last winter...we will see about this one! Definitely a noisy ride, then again we have had exhaust issues. Theres also plenty of loose 'clunky' sounds that our mechanic cannot find, that make me a little nervous. I wouldn't label this car particularly reliable or unreliable. I will say its a blast to drive and has excellent pickup, and my car is 6 years newer. You would have to rip it out of my wife's hands for her to get rid of it!
Sunroof, Love the sunroof. Four Wheel Drive (when it works). The height is perfect, and the grill guard gives it that extra edge.
Reliability, and generalized parts.
2002 Jeep Liberty Limited 4dr 2WD SUV (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
We bought our 2002 Liberty fall 2009. Fixes in 2 1/2 years ...Water pump and radiator $800.00+, Rear Deferential seal and door hinge $300.00+,
Front struts and rear shocks $600.00+ and i did the labor myself, a rocker arm fell off and caused engine damage (a common problem in all Liberty's still!) $2100.00+, Eats front brakes and rotors, Interior lights come on and go off by themselves, Lower ball joints break (factory recall) Fuel mileage sucks. Tranny does a goofy shifting thing going down the interstate at cruising speeds. (I don't know the cause of the shifting issue.) All this before or by the time it was a 10 year old vehicle that was well maintained. My first and LAST Jeep/Chrysler!
Fun to drive when you can drive it! It's a good looking vehicle and that's about all it has going for it! Makes a nice and expensive yard ornament!
Make a vehicle worth buying Jeep/Chrysler. Chrysler could at least stand behind their vehicles. They know the rocker arms are a problem. Provide what it takes to fix it, not sell me back a remanufactured head from some other sucker who flipped a rocker arm.
2002 Jeep Liberty Limited 4dr 2WD SUV (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
I bought a 2002 Jeep liberty as a pre owned car. Older lady drove it. So far we had no major problem except the engine light stays on. Took it to auto parts store did test and it said fuel cap. replaced that 3 times. Nothing. took it to dealer same result,they checked the car and found nothing told me fuel cap again. Bought another cap from them and light is still on. At 114000 miles it seems to start taken more and more gas..wet roads are also not a good thing. other then that I like to drive it and its been a good car so far
fixing problem on wet road performance and the engine light issue

The Worst To First Tour for Amarillo High rolls on.
Amarillo High senior Matt Jones delivered a two-out, two-strike single in the bottom of the seventh inning, plating the winning run and sending the surging Sandies past Lubbock Coronado 6-5 and into a first-place District 3-5A tie with idle Lubbock Monterey and Lubbock High.
The Sandies victory was their fourth in a row Thursday at Sandie Field. That winning streak has pushed AHS to 5-3 in district with four games remaining, a far cry from last year's 0-12 record.
"It's like night-and-day from last year," said Jones, a starter last season for the Sandies. "Last year it seemed like we were trying to find a way to lose, even when we were ahead late in the game. This year it's the total opposite."
Coronado (13-12, 3-5) certainly made AHS earn Thursday's win, making things interesting by scoring three runs in the top of the seventh to tie the game at five.
But the Sandies refused to let this win slip away, relying on the bottom of the batting order to get the job done against Coronado reliever Mario Delarosa.
Delarosa had entered the game with in a tight situation.
Coronado trailed 4-2 at the time, and Amarillo High was looking to bust the game wide open with the bases loaded and no outs.
But the Coronado sidewinder limited AHS to one run in the fourth inning, pitched scoreless fifth and sixth innings, and opened with seventh recording two quick outs.
"When you look at (Coronado starter) J. Vinson being left-handed and his ball tailing, then Delarosa is coming up and in, it made it tough," said second-year AHS coach John Bimmerle.
Amarillo High relief pitcher Chris Adkins, who had five at bats in the previous 22 games, started his teams' seventh-inning rally by grounding a single to right field.
Then catcher Alex Weber, playing a fine game by throwing out a runner and reaching base in all three at bats, coaxed the first walk off Delarosa, putting runners at first and second.
Bimmerle sent in Russell Webb to run for Adkins at second base, and with a 1-2 count on Jones, Delarosa wild pitched Webb to third and courtesy runner Andrew Patterson moved to second base.
Jones had already singled and scored in the game, but his season average of .200 was well below his solid .322 effort last year.
"But that's the most I've been relaxed at the plate all year," Jones said. "I like the pressure. I don't know why for sure, I guess I knew what I had to do because there weren't any what ifs. I just knew I had stick the bat on the ball and make something happen."
Jones lofted a single to shallow right field, easily scoring Webb for the game winner, putting AHS in legitimate position for its first district baseball crown since 1992.
"The bottom line in that seventh inning is I'm just proud of Matt," Bimmerle said. "He has struggled a little and hasn't done what he felt like he is capable of doing. He just battled. He gets two strikes on him and does what everybody dreams of doing."
Lefty Adkins (6-3) grabbed the win in relief by pitching to two batters in the top of the seventh inning. He allowed no hits and a sacrifice fly.
Sandie junior starter Brian Wyatt was the workhorse on the day going 61/3 innings, allowing seven hits, striking out seven and allowing all five runs. Wyatt praised his relief pitcher Adkins.
"The vulture (Adkins) came in and did a good job," Wyatt said.
Wyatt allowed a two-run homer to Clay Robinett in the fourth inning, but sat Coronado down 1-2-3 in the second, third and fifth innings. The quick innings by Wyatt was the effort that won the game, said Coronado coach John Dudley.
"I felt liked we got outpitched as much as anything in the game," said Dudley, in his 29th season at Coronado. "We had a two-run homer and then scored three in the seventh inning. But we didn't do anything else, and you can't afford to play like that."
AHS played error-free, led on defense by the Herrmann twins, shortstop Alex, and second baseman Mark. The juniors turned a 6-4-3 double play in the first, then recorded all three outs in the sixth inning on not-so routine grounders.
The Sandie offense collected 11 hits, with Chris Sandridge jump-starting his team with a two-out, two-run triple in the first inning. Alex Schenck added a run-scoring double in the third inning, but it was Jones' single that stole the show.
"This year we think no matter what the score, no matter what the situation, we can come out on top," Jones said. "In the top of the seventh, we thought we had the game in the bag, and they got three runs, but it didn't hold us down. Last year we would have folded, but this year we thrive under that kind of pressure."
