Shane Laflin spent three years (2012-15) as an assistant coach for Rice's women's basketball program. During the 2013-14 campaign, he worked with the perimeter players, helping Jessica Kuster earn All-Conference USA honors and to become the Owls all-time leading scorer. Laflin had previously served as an assistant coach at the University of Texas-Arlington for four seasons. At Rice he will assist in all areas of the program and have a primary focus as the recruiting coordinator.
"We are excited to add Shane to our staff as recruiting coordinator," coach Williams said. "Shane brings Division I experience and great enthusiasm to his new position at Rice. He knows Texas and our surrounding states so he will immediately be able to hit the recruiting trail during our important July evaluation period. "
Shane learned under the legendary University of Texas/Hall of Fame Coach Jody Conradt, also working with new UT head coach Karen Aston when she was an assistant coach for coach Conradt. Shane will work with the Rice perimeter players and is an excellent student and teacher of the game."
In four seasons at Texas-Arlington Laflin helped coach the Lady Mavericks to 64 wins and to the Southland Conference regular season co-championship in 2009. UTA reached the finals of the conference tournament once and the semifinals a total of three times. In his tenure, eight UTA players earned a total of ten all-conference awards.
"I am thrilled to join coach Williams and his staff at Rice University," Laflin said. "The athletics department is a close-knit family and I feel at home here already. I'm ready to get on the road this summer for recruiting, and especially looking forward to being on the floor with the players in the fall. Rice is a world-renowned University, and I am so blessed to have this opportunity. We will work hard and will pursue excellence together."
Laflin graduated from Texas-Arlington in 2004. He then served two seasons (2005-07) as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Texas under Jody Conradt. With the Lady Longhorns Laflin assisted the program in all areas, including equipment, camps, and as an on/off-site practice coordinator for the 2007 NCAA Tournament.
The Tempe, Ariz., native returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach with the women's program beginning in 2007-2008.

|You can take it to the top and descend with one 70m rope. The route's true finish (past the intermediate anchor) is out of character with the rest of the route and is very desperate smearing to the top anchor. Body tension and good smearing technique will get you through it.

Did flood leave golden opportunity?
- published_in
- Observations
Once where there was farmland or a house, a river flows. Once where the river ran, new piles of debris and dirt sit; from who knows how far upstream they came.
But as the flood recedes and silt settles, so does the prospect of gold.
Steve Herschbach, a gold miner in Alaska, says, "It is never good that property and lives are lost in floods, but they can be a real rejuvenator of mining possibilities anywhere they occur. Gold can be spotted eyeballing bedrock and ground if you are first on site immediately after a flood recedes."
In Colorado, there is a buzz among the gold-panning community. At $1,315 an ounce, it's easy for gold fever to set in. Shortly after the rain, some shops in the Golden area experienced an uptick in equipment sales – the gold pans and filters – and gold-panning clubs fielded queries on the possibilities of a new gold order.
I've heard from a couple of people who have seen "tiny, shiny flecks of rock" in their front yards as they clean up after the flood, wondering if they should try to collect it.
Online, amateur gold panners and miners are chatting and tweeting quite excitedly about this.
"Geowizard" and "Flintgreasewood" speculate that claims in the past that haven't been producing might start because of the massive shift in dirt and rock caused by Mother Nature.
But what really are the prospects for striking it rich if you run out and buy a gold pan and head for the river banks?
Most of Colorado's gold deposits are within the Colorado Mineral Belt that trends northeast from the San Juan Mountains in the southwest to its northeastern extent in the Front Range near Jamestown. The St. Vrain River, which runs through Longmont, and Boulder Creek, which cuts through the heart of downtown Boulder, pass through this belt. So do we have cause for excitement?
Wallie Robinson, owner of Grubstaker LLC in Wheat Ridge, has been providing prospecting and claim-staking services for more than 20 years. He's experienced an uptick in interest in his services since the flood.
"The floods have moved gold," he said. "This is the biggest flood since the Gold Rush. A lot of residue on the side of mountains and in the dumps at mills has been moved into the watershed, and that can include gold."
The lone professor I was able to reach at the Colorado School of Mines' Department of Mining Engineering wouldn't say one way or the other, only that he hasn't heard of gold being unearthed because of floods.
While there are reports that people as far away as Alabama have made the trip out West to see if they can strike it rich, reports of newly found gold have yet to surface.
Will the gold flush of 2013 amount to anything more than a flash in the pan? Probably not, but we could use a little gold-rush romance after all the heartache caused by the floods.

While CM Punk put on a hell of a show defeating both The Miz and Alberto Del Rio at Tables, Ladders and Chairs last night, it proved that even in defeat, the two opponents still deserve title consideration.
If WWE creative did anything with this PPV event, it allowed the writers to take a deep breath and then exhale. Things look a lot brighter right now after the performance from these three stars.
And it should get better.
Matches like those open doors for so many possibilities. Everyone in the WWE Universe has to like what is happening moving forward.
Here are eight challengers for CM Punk and that WWE Title.


text: The common marshmallow, , is a species indigenous to Africa, which is used as a medicinal and ornamental plant. The stems, which die down in the autumn, are erect, 3 to 4 feet (1.2 m) high, simple, or putting out only a few lateral branches. The leaves, attached by a short petiole, are ovate-cordate in shape, 2 to 3 inches long and about 1 1/4 inch wide, irregularly toothed at the edge, and thick. They are soft and velvety on both sides, due to a dense covering of stellate hairs. The pale pink flowers of the marshmallow are in bloom during August and September, and are followed, by the flat, round fruit. The leaves, flowers, and the root of all have medicinal properties. Marshmallow is traditionally used as a treatment for the irritation of mucus membranes, including use as a gargle for mouth and throat ulcers, and gastric ulcers. A confection made from the root since ancient Egyptian time evolved into today's marshmallow treat. A French recipe, called pâté de guimauve (or "guimauve" for short), included an egg white meringue and was often flavored with rose water. Pâté de guimauve more closely resembles contemporary commercially available marshmallows, which no longer contain any actual marshmallow. (Wikipedia, 2011)

The career risk of trying to be different on Wall Street
"QWERTY" are the first six keys in the top left on most typewriters or computer keyboards. More than 90% of all keyboards have this QWERTY configuration. This inefficient key arrangement was originally created to make typing on a typewriter fast without having the keys stick together. Since the creation of computers, typewriters have become obsolete, however this key arraignment still remains.
While most people who have studied this QWERTY configuration agree that it is not efficient, it is so highly embedded in every user's skill-set and keyboard, that changing to a more efficient key arrangement would be too challenging to undergo for the mass population. It is claimed that changing to the more efficient "Dvorak" keyboard will take anywhere from three months to one year, and for 6-8 weeks the typist may not be able to easily type on either keyboard.1
In 6-8 weeks of not being able to type, the user could easily lose their job for being too slow. Most people will not switch because it is easier to be just like everyone else than to take a chance that either they could improve their typing or get fired for being slower because of it. This is what can be called herding. Staying with the herd is safer than trying to do it alone and being seen getting it wrong. The fund management profession has a similar problem.
Are your fund managers sheep?
The financial service industry has a notorious problem which very few outside the industry are aware of. This problem is generally referred to as career risk. Now most of you reading this might think, "Who cares if some overpaid fund manager gets fired for not performing well enough?" While having your fund manager keep his job might not be high on your holiday wish list, you should realize that it is an enormous problem at Wall street firms, and that it is causing many funds to under-perform their potential.
It has become all too common that many financial service firms or fund managers have found it easier to try to mimic an index than to try to outperform it. The reason is no different than any other herding behavior. Staying with the herd is safe. If the herd is wrong, then at least you are like everyone else and the punishment is not significant. If a fund manager tries to separate from the herd and is right, then they will have some mild success. If they are wrong, they get fired. The risks of getting fired do not warrant the reward of making a little more money and/or fame. Wall Street has a short memory if you are right, and it never forgets when you are wrong.
For instance, in 2008, the S&P 500 dropped 38.49%. Most mutual funds performed in a similar manner. While losing all that money is very unsettling, it is relatively acceptable to investors because everyone else lost as well. Let say for example that a mutual fund gained 1.0% in 2013 where the S&P 500 gained 29.6%. The manager would be fired immediately and would find it hard to find work after that, even if he made 15% when the S&P 500 lost 38.49 % in 2008. Most people compare their investments to an index like the S&P 500, so that is the benchmark for performance regardless if the fund manager performs better over a 10 year period.2
A well-known example is Jeremy Grantham at GMO. In 1997, his firm suggested that the valuations of tech stocks were too elevated and that his clients should switch out of them. He was rewarded with 40% of his clients pulling their money from the firm. Subsequently after the 2000-2002 period when the market fell significantly, he gained back all the assets and then more, but the message was clear. If you are going to be different, you better be right. And it better not take too long to be proven correct.3
Due to the marketing efforts of financial service firms and the news media which hum the same tune, it is very difficult to expect most investors to think outside the box, and be different. So next time you read a news article that says, "most mutual funds under-perform their index." You will understand why so many fall into this category. Herding may work for sheep, but not for your hard-earned money.

MTV reporter laid-back about being Jewish in Iraqby RACHEL POMERANCE, Jewish Telegraphic Agency
|Follow j. on
NEW YORK -- It's not just Ted Koppel and Wolf Blitzer blaring news from the war-torn Persian Gulf anymore.
Meet Gideon Yago, the 25-year-old Jew from New York, who was sent to cover America's war in Iraq for MTV.
Yago's assignment underscores the war's draw among a generation otherwise tuned in to sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. The war, in fact, superceded drugs as the chief concern among young people, according to an MTV poll last month. It was the first time a foreign subject ranked top on their radar.
But it also reveals the challenges -- and from Yago's perspective, opportunities -- of being a Jewish reporter in an Arab country.
"I think it behooves American Jews in particular to put themselves out in hairy situations like that, because how else are you going to get a dialogue" and "call people out on their stereotypes," said Yago, whose angelic face glimmers against his drab, camouflaged parka.
"Fundamentally, you're able to make changes by forcing people to confront one another."
Yago said he was picked to cover the war for MTV because he was the only reporter willing to stomach swirling sandstorms and other rough conditions.
Yet attitudes about Jews and Israel in the Arab world have already hindered his work.
Yago, who recently returned here from a stint in Kuwait, where he hosted an MTV special about the lives of young Kuwaitis and the American marines there, was pulled from a different news assignment in Baghdad due to security concerns.
His religion and the fact that his father is an Israeli who heads a fund-raising group for Israel raised "too many red flags," Yago said.
Glenn Yago's Pups for Peace, which began shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, trains and supplies Israel with bomb-sniffing dogs.
An economist, Glenn Yago founded the program hoping to find a cost-efficient measure against suicide bombings.
Even before Yago could enter Kuwait, he needed a fresh passport to eliminate Israel's stamps since Israeli nationals are blocked from the country.
Now that the Americans are in the center of Baghdad, Yago is waiting for clearance to go to Baghdad to do another show, yet to be determined.
Asked if he fears for his security, Yago responded flatly: "No. It's just not anything I think about."
And though he witnessed episodes of anti-Semitism for the first time in his life while in Kuwait, he takes it lightly.
"I'm a Jew from New York," Yago said. "I went through 25 years of life without having an ounce of prejudice weighed on me."
All in all, "I think that's a pretty good run."
And for the most part, Yago said his Jewishness was rarely a problem, with only a few "glaring exceptions."
In those cases, hearing anti-Semitic statements shocked him. "You read about them, and then when you hear them to your face, there's always a little bit of a disconnect."
Yago declined to give details, but cited, for example, "people who are in the Grand Mosque," the central mosque in Kuwait, "who are a little less receptive to Jews and Judaism."
Still, he downplays the virulence of the region, saying conservative religion anywhere promotes slightly extreme views.
And he attributes the area's negative outlook toward Jews to simple misinformation.
"You're going to breed misunderstanding if you have policies at the door that are going to exclude people," he said, referring to Kuwait's policy of excluding Israeli nationals from the country.
As for living as a Jew in such an environment, Yago displays cool defiance: "I make no bones about who I am, and where I come from.''

CIA officers improperly accessed U.S. Senate computers, read the emails of Senate staff, and exhibited a "lack of candour" when interviewed by agency investigators
Europe's top human rights court ruled Poland violated the rights of two terror suspects by allowing the CIA to imprison them on Polish soil from 2002-2003
A top White House official has pledged that the CIA will no longer use vaccination programs as cover for spying operations. The agency used the ruse in targeting Osama bin Laden before the U.S. raid that killed him in 2011.
Was my late father caught in the crossfire of a CIA assassination cover-up? Some conspiracy theorists still think so.
Confined to the basement of a CIA secret prison in Romania about a decade ago, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the admitted mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, asked his jailers whether he could embark on an unusual project: Could he design a vacuum?
The Senate voted 63-34 to give Brennan the top job at the nation's spy agency
A Republican senator and tea party favorite from Kentucky used an old-style filibuster lasting nearly 13 hours to take control of the chamber and block Senate confirmation of John Brennan's nomination to be CIA director
John Brennan's installation at the spy agency has been delayed as Senate Democrats and Republicans have pressed the Obama administration on drone strikes
The United States has been operating a secret drone base in Saudi Arabia for the past two years as a launch pad for attacks on terrorist targets in Yemen, it emerged Wednesday.
But throughout Obama's first term, John Brennan added to the body of criticism of so-called enhanced interrogation techniques in his role as the president's counterterrorism adviser

Don't jump to conclusions about people or turbines
To the editor:
This letter is in response to Jason S. Lynn Sr.'s letter of June 4.
It seems you are jumping to things you do not know as fact. What makes you think Mr. Deibert is a Republican? … When someone has a different opinion from you are they automatically Republican or watch Fox News? Are they inferior to your college education? You sound like an elitist without common sense. It is a fact that birds and bats are being killed by the wind turbines. So you want to add to the destruction of the bird population by turbines, since not enough of them are being killed by cats? Is that what you are saying, it's OK to add to the killing?
You talk about the millions paid to politicians to pass bills to benefit oil and gas. It is a fact that if not for government subsidy, wind turbines would not be built. Private industry has chosen not to go into this field as it is not profitable without the subsidy. Mr. Lynn, follow the money! These builders are not interested in the energy produced by the turbines, estimated at only 25 percent capacity on Jacks Mountain. They are only interested in the subsidy for building the turbines! Once they are built, these foreign companies will probably sell them.
There are many scientists who say our global climate is cooling. It seems to me that it is a toss-up as to who you listen to. … We who are Friends of Jacks Mountain are not totally against wind turbines, we just don't see the need to tear down the top of a mountain and destroy it to build up to 90 forty-story structures that will possibly only last 25 years. We are a mixture, possibly some Republicans, some Democrats, and some independents. To be honest, we never ask which party one belongs to, nor do we care. This issue crosses party lines and is not political. … Are you afraid of what you might learn that may give you something to think about?
Where is your concern for the environment when they are blowing up the top of the mountain and possibly destroying our water source? We are on wells and streams that come from the natural flow off the mountain. The destruction of 100 feet or more from the top of the mountain, road and platform construction and the aftermath of those cement platforms will change the flow and natural seepage of the water. There will be no recourse to the residents should their water be made dirty or the flow changed.
Do you even care? I guess since you live in Burnham you are on city water, so you will not be impacted by the construction. Where is your concern that these turbines will only produce possibly 25 percent of their capability, however, the destructions will last thousands of years into the future and we are leaving this to our children? Don't try and sell your environmental concern for our children when you are willing to destroy a mountain. Don't try and sell us on your conservation issues when our water source is destroyed! Build the turbines where the land can be restored to its original state and your neighbors' water source is not changed or destroyed. Don't build them on Jacks Mountain or Stone Mountain.

Overall complex well maintained and very attractive. Michael was helpful and responsive to our needs. Great place to stay!
Wonderful beach vacation in Del Mar
Perfect location, beautiful condo and welcoming owner made this beach rental a hassle-free and laid-back vacation. In a quiet, charming neighborhood in Del Mar, with easy walking access to restaurants, village of Del Mar, shopping and beach. The ocean view condo is bright, nicely decorated and was recently renovated. Ample linens, beach towels, large-screen TVs, and an extremely well stocked kitchen with all the gourmet appliances are provided. There are 2 parking spaces and room for guests. Michael (the owner) is accessible and a real pleasure to to work with -- very accommodating, and ensured everything was just perfect. The key-less entry is a plus! Two minutes to the beach path for morning walks or to watch the sunsets. The condo complex landscaping is lush and beautifully maintained, with access to pool, grills, workout room and tennis courts. Really a lovely place, can't wait to return.
Simply put, AMAZING!
The attention to detail, and warmth of this place from the first moment we drove up made it all worth it. The place is beautifully decorated, as if I was upgrading my own home, with large screen TV's in all room, new beautiful tile, everything you could possibly want in the kitchen, bathroom items galore, washer/dryer, everything! The view is spectacular, right on the cliffs, you feel like your driving into a wall of water just driving down the street to reach the complex! Sitting out on the deck overlooking the water is priceless; wonderful walks along the cliffs! This is the best place I have ever stayed at on VRBO. You wont be disappointed. Owner was extremely courteous. helpful, and available to any need/question we had. I wish we could have stayed here forever!

On Amazon, customers can get almost anything their heart desires, even if that desire includes a Nazi concentration camp puzzle.
The online retailer is coming under fire after a jigsaw puzzle that depicts the Nazi death camp of Dachau was found to be available on the website, the Agence France-Press reports. The puzzle, which is being sold for $24.99, is said to be suitable for kids ages eight and up.
(Scroll down to see a photo of the puzzle)
More than 28,000 prisoners were killed at Dachau between 1933 and 1945. All together, the Nazis imprisoned more than 188,000 people there, according to the U.S. Holocaust Museum.
In a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Besos, Gerda Hasselfeldt, the head of a conservative German political party, called the sale of the product "a slap in the face" for survivors and victims of the camp and their families, according to Der Spiegel.
"The Dachau concentration camp is a place of remembrance for the suffering of countless people," she wrote in the letter. "It cannot be in Amazon's interest to sell such a toy."
This isn't the first time critics have slammed Amazon for selling a controversial product. One customer posted a petition to Change.org last March calling on the online retailer to stop selling whale and dolphin meat on its site. The company also came under fire for offering a Kindle edition of "A Pedophile's Guide To Love And Pleasure," according to the Los Angeles Times.
Urban Outfitters faced similar criticism and eventually removed a "Jewish Star" t-shirt from its website after the Anti-Defamation League criticized the shirt's design, saying it mimicked the horrors of the Holocaust.
UPDATE: Amazon pulled the Dachau puzzle from its site, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Here's a photo of the controversial puzzle:
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post misidentified Dachau as a death camp. It was a concentration camp.

Star Struck - MenOver30
Models: Jakob Pierce and Matthew Rush
Studio: Men Over 30
This week, we have a fresh face that comes to us from Orlando, FL, Mr. Jakob Pierce. Jakob is 33 years old. This afternoon, he's here to meet his porn idol. Well, it would be more appropriate to say his porn idol is here to meat him. Fan-favorite and always a welcome sight, Matthew Rush joins us this week. Matthew is in his "later thirties" and holding...and holding. lol. Matthew is originally from Pennsylvania; but now calls Ft. Lauderdale home. We asked these two if they were to open a business what would it be. Matthew wants to open a funeral home because that is guaranteed job security. Matthew is always a hard act to follow so after that response, Jakob takes the high road and goes conventional with a Dance Studio. We then asked these two what is the one thing that really gets them going. We asked Jakob first (just in case) and he confessed he loves guys that are touchy feely and like to kiss and caress all over, which gets him really horny for more. Matthew takes the classic response and chalks it up to being in his kiss. Kissing is that most intimate thing that really gets his blood pumping. Yeah, a bad kisser is definitely hard thing to recover from. Well, with two guys that both get into kissing and passionate detail we're in for a treat.
Jakob is on the phone when he happens upon Matthew Rush. He quickly hangs up as he stammers to talk to his porn idol. One thing leads to another, and flattery leads to fondling. Boy meets boy, boy fondles boy…you get the picture. They start to make out as their clothes come off. Jakob wastes little time before hauling out Matthew's hard cock and going to work on it. He engulfs it as Matthew groans his approval. Sometimes it's good to give your biggest fans a taste test. Jakob can't get enough of Matt's thick cock as he spit shines that dick. Matthew then gets on his knees and helps Jakob out of his jeans before giving him some head in return. Jakob is elated as he watches his idol suck his rock hard cock. Fantasy made reality as he slowly fucks Matthew's face. Jakob soon wants more of that dick he's been stroking to. He gets back on his knees so he can continue nursing on that thick cock. Matthew watches as Jakob services his dick looking up at him with those pretty eyes knowing he'll stop at nothing to get that cock of his where he wants it. Don't play coy, you know where he wants it. (u so silly) Matthew then lies back and has Jakob squat on the couch so that Matthew can eat that smooth ass out. This launches Jakob into overdrive as Matt's tongue gets him ripe for a dicking.
Matthew then suits up, sits back, and watches as his number one fan sit down on his fat cock. Jakob grunts as his ass gives in and opens up. Jakob soon has that cock deep in his ass and starts to ride it. He braces his feet on Matt's massive quads as he bounces himself up and down on that hard cock. Matt loves that tight ass wrapped around his cock, and moans as Jakob has his way with it. Matt then bends Jakob over and continues fucking that hot ass doggy style. Jakob backs that ass up for more as Matthew fucks away. Jakob grunts as Matthew buries his cock deeper and deeper. Careful what you wish for, Mr. Pierce…cuz you just might take it all. Caught up in the moment as Matt fucks him, Jakob begs Matt to fuck him on the floor. They segway to a hot missionary position which only lets Matthew bury that cock even deeper. Jakob is grunting and moaning like a bitch as Matt pounds that ass stretcher deep inside. As the cam moves behind the action we get an awesome view of Matthew's beefy ass as he continues to bury that dick inside Jakob's ass. Jakob is taking a pounding. Soon, they dismount to explode their loads all over themselves. Whew. Fuck Fantasy #12,384 —Fulfilled.

People throughout Siouxland tuned in to watch the showdown between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks Sunday night.But not many could be found at your local bars or restaurants.
Owners we spoke with say while it's usually one of their busier nights, not many people came in to watch the big game this year.
Instead, fans hosted their own watch parties, which included ordering in and firing up the grill. "She decided to have something at the house and we decided to invite friends over and relax at home and enjoy the game," said host Daniel Adams. "It's just more comfortable, you know. Less driving, you can do what you need to do, you know. I like to cook and I've been on the grill since 11:15 this morning. " Guests we spoke with at Adams home said they opted for a watch party at home to better enjoy the game and the company without any distractions.

|Faith Leech is a featured article; it (or a previous version of it) has been identified as one of the best articles produced by the Wikipedia community. Even so, if you can update or improve it, please do so.
|This article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page as Today's featured article on November 13, 2013.
|A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on April 17, 2007.
|Current status: Featured article
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Not a GA review, but...[edit]
Just some quick points:
- Is an infobox appropriate? (I am a sucker for infoboxes)
- Is there any chance of an image? I understand that this will be difficult.
- Yards and metres? There needs to be a conversion somewhere in the article, but I am not sure where or how?
Otherwise, another great article. Cheers, Mattinbgn\talk 02:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Images is basically impossible, since she didn't debut at Australian level until early 1955, when teh PD cut-off is. There is an image in teh book, but there's no way that it is of a 13.5 year old girl. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Infobox is now in there. In the US College system, they still have 25yd and 50yd pools. I don't know the point of changing it to things like 99.1m or 101m or whatever the relevant conversion is. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- I wouldn't change them all, but I would show both for comparison's sake at the first mention of a distance for yards, such as "100 yards (91.5 metres)". I have my doubts about how many readers under the age of 35 (outside the US and Britain) know how far a yard is. Cheers, Mattinbgn\talk 10:33, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
GA review[edit]
really nice, just a few tweaks
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose): b (MoS):
- A few tweaks and abbreviation concerns
- a (prose): b (MoS):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- Would be nice to see something more about her life after swimming, but if the information is not available, it's not available.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars etc.:
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- Being a Yank, I'm not sure how often people outside the US always abbreviate things like meter and yard. I would think it would be good to spell out meter/metre the first time it's used and put (m) after it so readers know what abbreviation is used. Same for yd. I'm not going to hold the article back on this, because I'm not entirely sure it's needed, but it would be a nice touch.Same for minute and second.
- I did this, although I put it in the first instance after the lead.
- Early years, the sentence "Her parents tried sending her to ..." is awkward to me. Perhaps "In an effort to help her gain muscle control and confidence, her parents first sent her to ballet, but later they tried swimming, a sport her mother had participated in competitively."
- Thanks, much better.
- International career section, first paragraph. Not being a swimmer, I'm not clear on what "Drawn in Fraser's semifinal..." means exactly. A brief explanation might be helpful for non-swimmers.
- Well it just meant that they draw names out of a hat to see which swimmers are in which race, but I tweaked it.
- Same section and paragraph, I believe you mean "eighth-place getter" or perhaps "eighth-place finisher". I prefer finisher, but if getter is used more often in swimming accounts, go with that.
- Reworded.
- Retirement section - do you mean it was the first time she was outside Australia? It seems pretty clear she must have left Benigo if she moved to Melbourne and competed in various meets.
- Oh, it doesn't appear that she ever left Australia on a swimming expedition, but I reworded it to indicate that the Olympic Village was the first time she wasnt living with her parents.
- Is there anything else on her life after she retired from swimming? And perhaps you should use "She has two sons.." if she's still alive. The current wording makes it seem like she and/or they are deceased.
- Tweaked and added one smaller sentence
- I put the Template:Persondata in for you, but consider using it in the future.
Really nice article. Just a few small tweaks and I'll be happy to promote it.
I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.Ealdgyth | Talk 16:11, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

my brain hurts when i look at this thread
My Sig used to be really pretty and decorated with different pictues, but then photobucket decided to be a stupid little dirty sanchez. So now it is very plain.
new clue
its geting easyer
Spoiler Alert!
the last one is Sparkster
When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much screwed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.
Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "Hey, is there room in your head for one more?"
Eagles may soar but weasles don't get sucked into jet engines.
we have a winner fokes

knew that last clue whould end it
Spoiler Alert!
There is now an explination of the clues
Spoiler Alert!
"2. Have been on all consoles that have external store ridge (eg CD cart) (Pac man has been on all consoles to date (out soon for 360live)" Was Pacman on N64? Was he on Gamecube either?
Never heard of Sparkster. I may be at a disadvantage here coming from the UK, cos not all games that make it to the US also make it to the UK. Either that, or I'm just not up to date on my games. *frowns* And I thought I was pretty darn knowledgable in that area...
Im from the uk
think he did have a game on n64 (think he was unlockable on ridge racer
He was round in the 16 bit days

Formed in the spring of 2003, The Honky Tonk Experience brings country classics to life while at the same time performing songs of current artists whose music is true to what country music used to be and still should be. From Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings to Dwight Yoakam and Dale Watson. From Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson and Buck Owens to BR5-49 and The Derailers. A Honky Tonk Experience show brings young and old together on the dance floor. The "Experience" is a true "hard-core" country music band!!!!
The "Experience" is comprised of four of Richmond, Virginia's most respected musicians. Each member has forged their own reputation by playing in a variety of other bands over the past 20 years. Brad Spivey provides the classic country lead vocals. Mike Lucas is well known for his distinctive Tele picking. Mark Watts has spent 20+ years drumming up and down the East Coast. Clark Ball, bassist, provides the solid foundation for the band to build their sound upon.
The Honky Tonk Experience has also shared the stage with several national acts. These include Travis Tritt, BR5-49, Dale Watson, Webb Wilder and Junior Brown.
If you want the watered down pop that passes for country on modern radio, then this is not your band. If, however, you want it real and performed with passion and enthusiasm, then the Honky Tonk Experience brand of country music is for you.
Give us a listen, then give us a call!!!

A few years ago I wrote about how to access the elements of a
CGPath or
UIBezierPath. To do that, you call the
CGPathApply function and pass in a pointer to a callback function.
CGPathApply then calls this callback for each path element.
If you wanted to do this in Swift 1.x, you were out of luck because there was no way to bridge a Swift function to a C function pointer. You had to write a small wrapper in C or Objective-C that encapsulated the callback function.
With Swift 2, it is now possible to do this fully natively in Swift. C function pointers are imported into Swift as closures. You can pass any Swift closure or function with matching parameters to code that expects a C function pointer – with one massive caveat: unlike closures, C function pointers don't have the concept of capturing state. As a result, the compiler will only allow Swift closures that do not capture any outside state to be bridged to a C function pointer. Swift uses the new
@convention(c) notation to indicate this calling convention.

Accessing the Elements of a UIBezierPath
Let's take the familiar task of iterating over the elements of a path as an example.
A Swiftified Data Structure
First, consider the data structures we have to deal with.
CGPathApply will pass a pointer to a
CGPathElement to the callback function (or closure). This is a struct that contains a constant indicating the type of the path element and a C array of
CGPoints. The number of points in the array varies between 0 and 3 depending on the element type.
Working with
CGPathElement in Swift is not very pleasant. The C array gets imported as a
UnsafeMutablePointer<CGPoint> whose lifetime is limited to the callback function, so we'd have to copy its contents to somewhere else if we wanted to keep the data around. Moreover, a safer way to access the correct number of points for each element type would be nice.
A Swift
enum with associated values for the points is ideal for this purpose. A custom initializer does the conversion from
/// A Swiftified representation of a `CGPathElement`
/// Simpler and safer than `CGPathElement` because it doesn't use a
/// C array for the associated points.
public enum PathElement {
case MoveToPoint(CGPoint)
case AddLineToPoint(CGPoint)
case AddQuadCurveToPoint(CGPoint, CGPoint)
case AddCurveToPoint(CGPoint, CGPoint, CGPoint)
case CloseSubpath
init(element: CGPathElement) {
switch element.type {
case .MoveToPoint:
self = .MoveToPoint(element.points[0])
case .AddLineToPoint:
self = .AddLineToPoint(element.points[0])
case .AddQuadCurveToPoint:
self = .AddQuadCurveToPoint(element.points[0], element.points[1])
case .AddCurveToPoint:
self = .AddCurveToPoint(element.points[0], element.points[1], element.points[2])
case .CloseSubpath:
self = .CloseSubpath
Next, let's add a nice string representation to our new data type for easier debugging.
extension PathElement : CustomDebugStringConvertible {
public var debugDescription: String {
switch self {
case let .MoveToPoint(point):
return "\(point.x) \(point.y) moveto"
case let .AddLineToPoint(point):
return "\(point.x) \(point.y) lineto"
case let .AddQuadCurveToPoint(point1, point2):
return "\(point1.x) \(point1.y) \(point2.x) \(point2.y) quadcurveto"
case let .AddCurveToPoint(point1, point2, point3):
return "\(point1.x) \(point1.y) \(point2.x) \(point2.y) \(point3.x) \(point3.y) curveto"
case .CloseSubpath:
return "closepath"
While we're at it, we should also make
Equatable (because that's what you should always do).
extension PathElement : Equatable { }
public func ==(lhs: PathElement, rhs: PathElement) -> Bool {
switch(lhs, rhs) {
case let (.MoveToPoint(l), .MoveToPoint(r)):
return l == r
case let (.AddLineToPoint(l), .AddLineToPoint(r)):
return l == r
case let (.AddQuadCurveToPoint(l1, l2), .AddQuadCurveToPoint(r1, r2)):
return l1 == r1 && l2 == r2
case let (.AddCurveToPoint(l1, l2, l3), .AddCurveToPoint(r1, r2, r3)):
return l1 == r1 && l2 == r2 && l3 == r3
case (.CloseSubpath, .CloseSubpath):
return true
case (_, _):
return false
Enumerating Path Elements
Now comes the interesting part. We'd like to extend
UIBezierPath with a new computed property named
elements that iterates over the path and returns an array of
PathElements. We know that we have to call
CGPathApply() and pass it a closure that gets called for each element. Inside the closure, we need to convert the
CGPathElement to a
PathElement and store it somehow in an array. This last part is not as easy as it sounds because the C calling convention prevents the closure from accessing any variables from the surrounding context.
Since pure C implementations of this API face the same problem,
CGPathApply takes one more argument in the form of a
void * and passes this pointer on to the callback function. This enables the caller to pass an arbitrary piece of data (such as a pointer to an array) to the callback – exactly what we need.
void * gets imported into Swift as
UnsafeMutablePointer<Void>. We create a Swift array to hold the
PathElement values and then call
withUnsafeMutablePointer() to get a pointer to the array, which is valid inside the closure passed to the function. In this closure we can then put the call to
CGPathApply. The final step in the inner path element callback closure is to cast the void pointer back to an
UnsafeMutablePointer<[PathElement]> and access the array directly via its
memory property. (Note: I'm not entirely sure if this is the best way to pass the array to the callback closure. If you know a better way, please let me know.)
The full implementation looks like this:
extension UIBezierPath {
var elements: [PathElement] {
var pathElements = [PathElement]()
withUnsafeMutablePointer(&pathElements) { elementsPointer in
CGPathApply(CGPath, elementsPointer) { (userInfo, nextElementPointer) in
let nextElement = PathElement(element: nextElementPointer.memory)
let elementsPointer = UnsafeMutablePointer<[PathElement]>(userInfo)
return pathElements
Update: In a post on the developer forums, Apple employee Quinn "The Eskimo!" suggested a slightly different approach: instead of a pointer to the array you want to mutate, you could also pass a pointer to another closure in the
userInfo parameter. Since this closure is not constrained by the C calling convention, it can capture any variables you want.
Creating the pointer to the closure involves some ugly
@convention(block) and
unsafeBitCast magic (or wrapping the closure in a box type), so I'm not sure I like it. But the end result is certainly very convenient.
Loose Ends
Now that we have an array of path elements, it is trivial to turn
UIBezierPath into a sequence. This allows users to iterate over the path with a
for element in path loop or to call methods like
map or
filter directly on the path.
extension UIBezierPath : SequenceType {
public func generate() -> AnyGenerator<PathElement> {
return anyGenerator(elements.generate())
Finally, here is an implementation of a debug string representation for
UIBezierPath, modeled after the output of
NSBezierPath on OS X.
extension UIBezierPath : CustomDebugStringConvertible {
public override var debugDescription: String {
let cgPath = self.CGPath;
let bounds = CGPathGetPathBoundingBox(cgPath);
let controlPointBounds = CGPathGetBoundingBox(cgPath);
let description = "\(self.dynamicType)\n"
+ " Bounds: \(bounds)\n"
+ " Control Point Bounds: \(controlPointBounds)"
+ elements.reduce("", combine: { (acc, element) in
acc + "\n \(String(reflecting: element))"
return description
Let's try this with an example path:
let path = UIBezierPath()
path.moveToPoint(CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0))
path.addLineToPoint(CGPoint(x: 100, y: 0))
path.addLineToPoint(CGPoint(x: 50, y: 100))
path.moveToPoint(CGPoint(x: 0, y: 100))
path.addQuadCurveToPoint(CGPoint(x: 100, y: 100),
controlPoint: CGPoint(x: 50, y: 200))
path.moveToPoint(CGPoint(x: 100, y: 0))
path.addCurveToPoint(CGPoint(x: 200, y: 0),
controlPoint1: CGPoint(x: 125, y: 100),
controlPoint2: CGPoint(x: 175, y: -100))
Now we can iterate over the path and print a description of each element:
for element in path {
/* Output:
0.0 0.0 moveto
100.0 0.0 lineto
50.0 100.0 lineto
0.0 100.0 moveto
50.0 200.0 100.0 100.0 quadcurveto
100.0 0.0 moveto
125.0 100.0 175.0 -100.0 200.0 0.0 curveto
Or we can count how many
closepath commands there are in the path:
let closePathCount = path.filter {
element in element == PathElement.CloseSubpath
// -> 3
Swift 2 automatically bridges C function pointers to closures. This makes it possible (and very convenient) to work with a large number of C APIs that take function pointers as callbacks. Because the C calling convention does not allow these closures to capture external state, you often have to pass external variables that your callback closure needs to access through a void pointer that many C APIs offer for this purpose. Doing this from Swift is a bit convoluted but entirely possible.

|Exercise Profile
Primary Muscle Group(s): Forearms
|Secondary Muscle Group(s): Biceps
1.While seated on a bench, take a barbell and rest it your arms on your knees or on the bench with your palms facing downward. Try and rest the your arms on your knees.
2. Slightly bend at the waist.
3. Moving only your wrist, reverse curl the weight upward and slowly return back to the starting position. You won't be able to handle the same weight as you would with an ordinary wrist curl.
The reverse wrist curl is an exercise that directly targets the upper and outer forearm. This is a great exercise that really hits the tie in from the outer bicep to the upper forearm.
This is a difficult exercise because this muscle goup is very small and most times, not as strong as the rest of the forearm. Therefore, you might want to start out with just the barbell and no plates to get used to this exercise.
Also, this exercise can be done with dumbbells - just remember to use light dumbbells to start. Secondary muscle groups include the biceps.

There had to be some fireworks to end it and it came in the form of an error in center field by Saulyer Saxon in the bottom of the ninth. With Tres Barerra on first, Madison Carter hit a fly ball deep to left center that Saxon caught up to but couldn't keep in his glove.
In the confusion Barerra decided to bolt toward third and left fielder Gage Green picked up the ball, threw to shortstop Donnie Walton, whose relay to Craig McConaughy at third was in time to get the Longhorn out, a key out. Still Robinette had to get those last two outs and the last one with runners at second and third.
The Cowboys decisive rally came in the top of the eighth inning when Saulyer Saxon led off with a walk, Aaron Cornell was hit by Texas pitcher Parker French while attempting a sacrifice bunt. Donnie Walton got the sac bunt down to move the runners over, and Gage Green was intentionally walked to load the bases.
The table set, Tanner Krietemeier got a pep talk from head coach Josh Holliday and then singled to right center to score Saxon and Cornell.
"I just went out there and reminded him that (French) had a sinker and that he wanted to get a ball he could get under and not hit on top of it," Holliday said. "Tanner hit it hard into the ground."
"I was just trying to get a pitch I could handle and do everything I could to get them home," Krietemeier said.
A Costello sac fly scored Green, and for Costello that was his third RBI of the contest. The Cowboys had the late inning lead they crave 6-3.
"To go 18 innings against a team of that quality and with their pitchers... I think they are an excellent team and they are a tough program to line up with, much less beat twice in one day," Holliday said.
"I think the story is these kids and their amazing ability to compete. Every excuse that anyone could pull up does not exist for these kids. That is special to be a part of and to see kids like Mark (Robinette) step up and do what he did, and tomorrow somebody else is going to have to do it."
"The games were pretty much identical and they used the eighth innings to put their rallies together," Texas head coach Augie Garrido said. "I think it was a case of them doing a better job of extending the rallies when they got them started and did a better job of finding ways to score. The games were well played.
"They are a very good team and they are mentally tough. Josh (Holliday) has done a good job."
The Cowboys started the second game much like they finished the first, scoring runs. In the top of the second with Tim Arakawa sitting at first after a two-out single, Conor Costello, who had been in a slump early in the Big 12 Tournament and was kind of down on himself according to his family sitting in the stands and making some noise and singled in the fifth inning of the first game, came up and blasted a Morgan Cooper pitch into the left field bleachers landing on the sixth row. The two-run home run was the seventh for Costello this season and gave the Cowboys a 2-0 lead.
Texas answered with a run in the bottom of the second. But in the top of the third the home-run hitting Cowboys were back at it as catcher Bryan Case hit his third home run of the season and his second of the Big 12 Tournament. Case's blow landed on the second row of the bleachers in left and was more of fly ball home run than the line drive of Costello one inning earlier.
"Bryan Case, what a huge shot in the arm he has been for us," Holliday added. "He caught 17 innings today and blocked a lot of balls and then hit that home run. He has really been good for us."
Texas scored two runs in the bottom of the fourth just after the two-hour, 20-minute rain delay ended and play resumed. Center fielder Mark Payton's single in the gap in left center scored both runs in the form of Zane Gurwitz and Brooks Marlow.
Cowboys pitcher at that point, Garrett Williams pitched three innings and allowed three runs with the final run he allowed coming in the sixth with Payton again getting an RBI single for a 4-3 Texas lead.
In the first game with Texas still having one of its regular season starters in Nathan Thornhill you just knew someone from pitching coach Rob Walton's Oklahoma State pitching staff was going to have to match up. Give plenty of credit to Thomas Hatch, as the Jenks native that has not been used as much lately did just that allowing just one run on four hits in 4 1/3 innings while the Cowboys were struggling against Thornhill, a pitcher that they had rocked pretty good in the Sunday game in Austin during their regular season series win over Texas.
Going to the eighth inning with Thornhill gone and flame thrower John Curtiss on for the Horns, the Cowboys still had not had a runner reach third base in 16 innings against Texas pitching in the Big 12 Tournament.
They saved it up as Craig McConaughy singled to start the inning only to get picked off first and thrown out at second. Aaron Cornell came on to pinch hit and singled sharply to left field, Saulyer Saxon worked a deep pitch at-bat base on balls, and then Donnie Walton singled in the gap in left center to score Cornell. That tied the game at 1-1.
But the Cowboys were far from through as closer Brendan McCurry warmed up in the left field bullpen. RBI singles by Tanner Krietemeier and Tim Arakawa scored two more runs for the Cowboys to take a 3-1 lead.
McCurry came on and retired Longhorns C.J. Niñojosa and Collin Shaw on line drive fly outs before Kacy Clemens struck out looking to end the game. That forced the baseball to continue before it ran into Mother Nature and that sideways rain.
Oklahoma State is now 45-15 and will play TCU for the Big 12 Tournament title Sunday at 4:30, weather permitting.

Keres?! Come on, he never even held the WCC title!
Asked for '' best '' not most titles ?
Paul Keres one of the best-players of all time & goes in my top 5.
All right, so how was Keres better than Tal or Alekhine or Lasker?
We never know now since war intervened in the middle that period of history...
He did have some fine games with Alekhine.
I admire Keres as much as anyone, but Alekhine was one of his worst opponents. Alekhine had 5-1 in wins and all their games were played 1935-43 when Alekhine was between 43 and 51 years old and had passed his peak. Of course Keres also improved later but was top ten at Chessmetrics throughout that period and did win AVRO 1938, so he was already a very strong player even if Alekhine was a difficult opponent for him.
People saying, "Carlsen" are about 15-20 years premature. He's an enormous talent, but he hasn't even participated in a world championship yet. In fact, he didn't feel ready to face an aging Anand at this time and let this championship cycle pass him by and go to Gelfand.
He said it had to do with FIDE changing the rules and deciding the Candidates in a knockout. Of course you may be right that it was an excuse because he "didn't feel ready to face an aging Anand", but I don't think it's a fact.
Anyway, no one is suggesting that Carlsen is one of the greatest players ever achievement wise at 21. But it's definitely possible that the Carlsen of 2009-12 has been playing better chess than Anand and Kramnik even if he hasn't won as many titles since he is so much younger.
Yes Alekhine was '' thorn-in-side '' for Keres. But a benchmark of brilliant players is the new lines/theories they introduce to the game. True of Fischer,Kasparov,Keres,Karpov & many others mentioned here :)
I do agree that Carlsen's talent is innate, natural & brilliant. No question he is most exciting player around currently.
what if i post a pic of a chess player?
"Does a top 5 OF ALL TIME refuse to stake his claim as champion because it's a knockout tourny? What ofther criteria should we use than achievement in chess?"
Well, Fischer, Kramnik and Anand refused to participate in many cycles for all kinds of reasons but that doesn't necessarily make them weaker than players that top the rating lists today. I don't think Carlsen can be said to be playing worse chess than he does because he didn't participate in the knockout. If it's a question of career achievements it's obvious that Carlsen can't be compared to Karpov, if it's a question of playing strength he might be about the same level. It's difficult to compare but chess evolves and Carlsen is winning the Chess Oscar for best player of the year for the third time in a row for 2011 and that's an achievement in itself considering the competition from players like Anand and Kramnik.
People saying, "Carlsen" are about 15-20 years premature. He's an enormous talent, but he hasn't even participated in a world championship yet. In fact, he didn't feel ready to face an aging Anand at this time and let this championship cycle pass him by and go to Gelfand. He has much to prove; especially in match format.
It's difficult to say who the best players of all time are because each generation learns something from the previous one. If you're talking about natural or innate talent; then Morphy, Capablanca, Fischer, Karpov, Kasparov, Carlsen are excellent picks.
'Best' players? We need to define what we mean by 'best'. If we mean 'strongest player irrespective of time' it naturally favors modern players who know more than earlier players. So 1.Kasparov, 2.Karpov, 3.Fischer, 4.Anand, 5.Kramnik.
who says Kasparov in first place its wrong, i say Fischer. The best player of all times. 3 reasons: Mindgame( was the reason why he won in iceland and was the first chess american player to be worldchampion, defeating the russians). second reason: Strong figther against u.s. politician. 3 reason: Wow, dream games that he did against his opponents...FISCHER PLAYS LIKE FISCHER, THE REST PLAYS CHESS!!
Sure was but takes two. One of Fischers greatest ever games was against Keres:
Robert James Fischer vs Paul Keres, Zurich 1959
