Lima Central Catholic coach Jerry Kill insisted that he wasn't worried when a potential game- and state championship-winning 50-foot shot by Cleveland Villa Angela-St. Joseph's Brian Parker grazed the rim as time expired.
"Those are miracle balls and I thought the breaks were going our way so, no, I didn't think it was going in," Kill said after the Thunderbirds escaped with a 64-62 victory for the Division III title in Value City Arena. A crowd of 9,908 saw LCC claim its second title in five seasons. Kill also won a title as a player for Van Wert Lincolnview in 1997.
With a naked eye, most observers would have favored defending Division IV champion Villa Angela-St. Joseph and its front line of heavily recruited 6-foot-10 junior Carlton Bragg and 6-8 junior Dererk Pardon. But the Thunderbirds prevailed because of excellent guard play, poise and a little bit of the aforementioned good fortune.
Lima Central Catholic (25-4) had big-time troubles at the free-throw line, missing half of its 28 attempts. Twice in the final 37.8 seconds, however, the Thunderbirds came up with their own misses. The final one, by Jake Williams with 4.1 seconds left, resulted in Tre Cobbs adding a point to LCC's lead at the 1.7-second mark.
Parker's shot from just past midcourt looked to be on the mark but was a smidge short.
"When it left Brian's fingers, I thought it was in," Vikings coach Babe Kwasniak said.
Indianapolis-bound Martyce Kimbrough scored 22 points to pace LCC, which hit five of its first six shots for an early 14-4 lead and never trailed. Xavier Simpson — a cousin of former Ohio State player Greg Simpson — had eight of his 18 points in the fourth quarter. He hit a pivotal floater over Bragg with 1:16 left that drew oohs and aahs from the crowd and gave the Thunderbirds a four-point lead.
"I'm not a big fan of the floater, but I loved it today," Kill said.
Bragg had 23 points, Pardon 17 and Parker 15 for the Vikings (22-8), who forced one tie but couldn't wrest the lead from the Thunderbirds.
"This was not an upset in my heart," Kill said. "The writers may not think much of us. VA-SJ has the look with 6-10, 6-8, but it's not always the look; it's the heart."

Thursday...one day closer to Friday...
One more day to Friday woo hoo! Yesterday I didn't play with my makeup because my eyes were killing me! Talk about water central...I had to take out my contacts and wear my glasses...making it a whole lot difficult to apply. Plus, that whole area was uber sensitive. Instead I gave it a break and tonight I'll be ready to create my Valentine's Day look. I'm pretty much going to re-do my makeup from the Drugstore Haul Video but add more pink. On a random tangent, have you guys heard the new Chris Brown song "with you" lately? It's in Anne's neutral every day look video. It's been in my head since I watched it yesterday and then I heard it this morning on my drive to work. I love that song! It reminds me of my days in high school where I was obsessed with boys, falling in love, and bubblegum pop culture. I think I'm going to use it in my Valentine's Day video because it's just too sweet. Thanks for the inspiration Anne :
Ain't he cute...if I was 5 years younger ;) oh and didn't have a man I was in love with...hehe...
I need to pick a restaurant for date night tonight..I was watching the food channel and in one trip they went to Ghana and the food looked sooo good. I've tried researching but there aren't too many African eating spots around here. I looked up some restaurant reviews and I think I'm going to take us to a Chinese spot called Da San Yuan. I love spots like this where it's not overly commercialized, and the food really does serve to the ethnic roots. Don't get me wrong...I love me some Panda Express after a long shopping spree at the mall, but on date night my BF and I like to expand our taste palettes.
So on another note, I found out that there's a Wal-Greens near me. My BF informed me after he read a blog entry in which I was complaining there were none nearby. I almost wish I didn't know this information because now I have the urge to go and find that Milani blush! LOL. Oh well, I'm really trying to hold out for the next MAC collection. I'm keeping a tight watch on how much money I actually spend this month on makeup so hopefully I can keep to it.
In the meanwhile, back to work...stay beautiful, inside and out :)

Boyish pixie cut with funky bangs
A lot of layering and feathering go into this quirky, edgy women's hairstyle. Short and straight, with a reddish-brown color, this hair takes off from a basic pixie cut and uses different lengths and edges to create focal points. Thick bangs are anchored at intervals with longer, spiky locks. Spikes dominate the crown, while sides are cut one-length with a straight edge, a corner of which is elongated onto the cheekbone. The back is thick but cropped, and is banded by an inch of blond hair going all the way around the head.

Microsoft's Windows 8 Poses Audio Problems
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - We're beginning to hear of some serious problems with Microsoft's(MSFT) new Surface tablet computers and the just-released Windows 8 operating system.
This morning, The Verge published a story about hardware problems concerning Surface tablets and user reports on Microsoft support forums of splitting Touch Covers (with built-in keyboards). A story in The Guardian reports there are some Touch Cover hardware issues too.
There's also mention of widespread audio problems as well. The Verge calls them "random muting and audio stuttering". But those audio problems are not confined to Surface tablets. They go a lot deeper.
Actually, it's Microsoft's new Windows 8 and Windows RT operating systems that are the culprits. In our testing, TheStreet found major problems with the way the new Windows OSes handle - or in this case mangle - digital audio.
We encountered audio problems as far back as the first Windows 8 beta. Especially when trying to use a number of outboard digital-to-analog music converters or DACs, which improve the audio quality of digital music files. Laptops and digital music players do have built-in DAC circuitry, but it's almost always cheap and of lesser quality than outboard units. DACs which operate on the USB 1.1 standard, such as the Audioquest DragonFly and Audioengine's D1, produced loud clicking sounds after playing for a minute or two.
DACs which utilize the USB 2.0 standard had different problems. Since previous versions of Windows didn't support USB 2.0 audio right out of the box, you always needed to install special drivers. The Windows 8 betas wouldn't run those drivers.
Since I'm aware of all the possible problems trying to make beta software work, I figured Microsoft would fix the audio problems with its official release of the OS. I was only partially correct.
Using the same Lenovo IdeaPad U260, now running a full release version of Windows 8 Pro, and using either USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 DACs, the intermittent clicking - streaming via Spotify or Windows' built-in music software - was still apparent, but its level had been somewhat reduced.
Switching to JRiver's Music Center software reduced the interference even further. Now, the music interruptions were limited to every once in a while. But JRiver did have trouble operating in what is known as the WASAPI-Event mode, which some experts consider the best sounding choice.
Switching back to a trusted computer - one running Windows 7 (64-bit) - we had absolutely no audio problems with any hardware combination we tried.
The worst results came from trying our DACs with Windows RT. We tried getting our DACs to work with a shiny, new Asus VivoTab RT.
Since you can't add second-party software in RT, we couldn't install the drivers needed to run our USB 2.0 DACs. But both new OSes supposedly now support USB 2.0 audio devices. Still, that didn't really make much of a difference. All of our outboard DACs reproduced the loud clicking/stuttering sounds along with the music.

'OxyContin Bandit' has neighbors concerned for safety
Police suspect same man in at least ten attempts
MADISON, Wis. - A recent string of pharmacy robberies has Madison neighbors concerned for their safety.
Police suspect the same man is to blame for at least ten thefts and robbery attempts across southern Wisconsin.
The latest incident happened Thursday evening when a man entered the Walgreen's at 4518 Cottage Grove Road in Madison, approached the pharmacy, and handed employees behind the counter a note demanding OxyContin. According to police, the man was wearing a blue/black jacket with the hood pulled up and dirty jeans. Staff refused to give him any drugs.
Forty minutes later, a man fitting the same description went into the Edgerton Pharmacy at 711 N. Main Street and threatened pharmacists there for OxyContin and oxycodone. He fled with an undetermined amount of medication. Surveillance photos did catch him on camera.
Police believe the man, described as a white man in his 20s or 30s standing about 5 feet 11 inches tall with a "chubby" build, short brown hair, and a mustache, is committing similar crimes all over Madison, Dane County, and Rock County.19156946
Jimmy Hill lives across the street from the Walgreen's on Cottage Grove Road with his fiancee and four children. He was not aware of the Thursday's robbery attempt, but said he is concerned for his family's safety.
"For that kind of thing to be happening in your own backyard, and just for somebody to be able to just walk in and do something like that at random without really some sort of security process," Hill said.
This is the second time someone has tried to steal drugs from that east side location since November. In another situation, a man called in to the pharmacy, claimed he had a gun, and threatened employees to leave powerful pain killers where he could get them.
In other similar incidents, a man passed a threatening note to a pharmacist at Walgreen's stores in Janesville, Beloit, and a number of stores in Madison.
A billboard visible from the Beltline now displays a police sketch of the suspect to commuters. Hill hopes the face shown will be found by authorities soon.
"Obviously, it's somebody who's got nothing else to lose. He's just doing it," Hill said.
Madison police said anyone with any information on the man's identity should call Madison Area Crime Stoppers at 608-266-6014. Callers could be eligible for a cash reward.
Anyone with information about the Edgerton case is asked to call the Edgerton Police Department at 608-884-3321 or Janesville Area Crime Stoppers at 608-756-3636.19140416

HPBA Files Opening Brief
HPBA Files Opening Brief
HPBA has filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the first legal brief (argument) in its nearly two year long petition for judicial review of the Department of Energy's (DOE) April 2010 final rule affecting decorative hearth products. The case was put on hold while negotiations between HPBA, DOE and other involved parties were held with the hope of finding a simple regulatory (i.e., not court ordered) fix to the language of the final rule.
These negotiations broke down in early summer 2011, and HPBA then requested that the court begins its review of the case. The court responded with a schedule of filings that included HPBA's January 3, 2012 submission to the court of its arguments. Over the next several months, there will be more submissions by DOE, HPBA and others. A final decision by the court on this matter is not expected until mid-2012, at the earliest.

An 'attractive alternative' for teens
A full 20 percent of American women give birth before the age of 20. This is more than any other developed nation. To combat this growing problem, the Food and Drug Administration approved Plan B to be legal without a prescription for females 15 and older, starting this summer. The product will be available in retail outlets with pharmacies. But the pill can be sold during non-pharmacy hours, too.
The key ingredient in Plan B – approved in 1999 – is a synthetic hormone called levonorgestrel. This drug stops an egg from being released from the ovary, or preventing fertilization of the egg by sperm. If there has been fertilization, Plan B may prevent a fertilized egg from embedding in the uterus. But if the egg has already been implanted in the uterus, the morning-after pill will not work.
Emergency contraceptives are intended for use within 72 hours after sex but are most effective if taken within 24 hours.
Along with women's health groups, much of the medical world has supported the use of emergency contraception as safe and effective.
"Research has shown that access to emergency contraceptive products has the potential to further decrease the rate of unintended pregnancies in the United States," said FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg in a statement two weeks ago. "The data reviewed by the agency demonstrated that women 15 years of age and older were able to understand how Plan B One-Step works, how to use it properly, and that it does not prevent the transmission of a sexually transmitted disease."
Even President Obama said last Thursday that he was "comfortable" with the FDA's decision.
No doubt that it's important for women to have control over their health care choices. This ruling, indeed, protects minors by ensuring no unreasonable delays are put in their way to avoid becoming pregnant.
But it is not enough to offer them contraception and to explain to how to use it.
We need to convince them that they want to use it; that they and their children will be better off if they wait to become mothers. In short, we need to present girls at risk of becoming pregnant with an attractive alternative.
Facing limited education and job prospects, as well as a slim chance of finding a suitable man to marry, ethnographic work on young, single mothers shows that many low-income women simply ask, "Why not have a baby now?"
We need to help young people navigate reproductive decision-making by giving girls AND boys a reason to believe that there are accomplishments in their future. Adolescent girls aren't ambivalent about pregnancy independent of their relationships. There is a lot of good emerging research about male ambivalence toward pregnancy being an important factor their partner's ambivalence and even in contraceptive non-use.
This all isn't to say we should abandon our traditional approaches to fighting teen pregnancy. They do deliver benefits. For instance, greater access to contraception may not prevent many teen births, but it prevents some, and it is a cost-effective strategy to pursue. It also provides teens that are seeking to prevent a pregnancy a way to achieve that goal.
But to really drive down rates of teen childbearing, we need young women becoming teen mothers to see a reason to delay motherhood. They need to believe that they have reason to invest in their futures, and they need a viable way to do so. Education on a broad spectrum is where we need to focus our efforts.

Rome-based agencies (RBAs)
Collaboration with the two other UN agencies based in Rome – the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) - lies at the centre of the World Food Programme (WFP)'s work.
WFP, FAO and IFAD share a common vision of promoting world food security through the twin-track approach of alleviating hunger with food assistance, nutrition support measures and social protection instruments; and eliminating the root causes of hunger and poverty.
Drawing on each agency's specific mandate and expertise, collaboration follows a four-pillar framework:
- policy advice, knowledge and monitoring;
- operations;
- advocacy and communication; and
- administrative collaboration.
The RBAs work closely at all levels by working together on Purchase for Progress programmes; building resilience for vulnerable populations; improving food and nutritional security; and reducing post-harvest losses and food waste, among other areas of collaborations.
A prime example of global RBA collaboration efforts is the Committee on World Food Security (CFS). The CFS is an intergovernmental and multi-stakeholder platform for food security and nutrition. Its Secretariat, which is based in Rome, consists of staff from WFP, FAO and IFAD. The CFS holds an annual plenary session in October to examine and recommend actions to be taken by its members.
For additional information on RBA collaboration, please see the following key documents:
- Update on Collaboration among the Rome-based Agencies (2014) (PDF, 879 KB)
- Directions for Collaboration among the Rome-based Agencies (2009) (PDF, 13.8 MB)
For the latest WFP news on RBAs, please see the relevant WFP Newsroom topic page.
If you have any questions or comments on RBA issues, please contact the WFP Rome-based Agencies team at email@example.com.

Thermometer using egg yolk
this wiki
William Nix has tested the idea of using egg yokes to indicate water pasteurization temperature:
"I have several ways of doing it but egg yokes will not begin to cook until 150 degrees and I have also found that using half of an egg shell floating ontop of the water with egg yoke inside moves the temp needed to cook to 160 degree. I tested this mostly on the indoor stove because it has been cloudy but I feel confident that it will not be a problem to use this in a solar cooker because there seems to be soo many diffrent ways it can be used. Also one egg yoke can be used to test many diffrent cooking pots and the egg yoke can be eaten after the water has reached temp so there is zero waste. Or they could simply place the entire egg yoke in the pot and when it is done they eat the whole egg yoke."
After thinking more about this the idea of another food like potato, carrot, or any local type of food that has a reaction at a certain temp would have the same purpose as the egg yoke. The item would be placed in the water and when it has the reaction then the person would know that the water is safe to drink. Maby it becomes tender or has a reaction of changing color or??? I am thinking it is similar to the early europeans who thought that only beer was safe to drink becase they did not understand that the boiling of water was what made it safe to drink. The people who are in need of a way to test water problly are not getting sick from the soups or sauce of the foods they are making because they are looking at the food that is being cooked and waiting until it is done which would be an indicator in the food of it becoming tender or a change of color.

2) If not, has anyone replicated the style in a fresh form (i.e. looks / tastes similar, but rises like a typical home recipe)?
^^no, I think he's looking for something that will rise during cooking.

Broaden your selection:
Video (146)
- 'Q' DVD-Author
- 'Q' DVD-Author is a GUI frontent for dvdauthor and related tools. The goal is to provide an easy-to-use, yet powerful and complete interface to generate DVD menus, slideshows, and videos to burn on a DVD under GNU/Linux.
- Automates most tasks on video and audio streaming.
Besides being a free/libre software, its goals are:
- Move past command-line based streaming, by automating things.
- Provide audio/video feedback for the volunteer at the station to monitor the streaming.
Its current features include:
- Behave slightly differently according to user actions or loss of the feed.
- GTK+ graphical user interface.
- Ease to switch between testing mode -- for testing the audio and video chain without broadcasting -- to stream mode, which broadcasts the feeds.
- In the event of main camera source failure, ABYSS changes the pipeline to fetch the video source from a backup USB webcam and then starts broadcasting again.
- Each stream is actually recorded locally in three forms to allow easy post-processing: audio-only, raw-video, and audio-video.
Was used during LibrePlanet 2015 and 2016.
ABYSS was previously know as Libre-Streamer.
- ANDREW's Not a DVD Ripping and Encoding Wizard
- ANDREW's Not a DVD Ripping and Encoding Wizard, but a command-line interface that simplifies the use of some applications to create AVI, Matroska, MP4 or OGM files from DVDs.
- Airs
- Airs is a tool that can periodically check for new TV episodes online on a few of the popular Web sites. It will present to you if and when there are new episodes available. It supports lifetime management for the downloaded episode information where you can track which episodes you've already seen, which you are still retrieving, and which ones you still have to find.
- AviManager
- aviManager helps you manage your (large) movie (DVD, DivX) collection. It ships with an intelligent voting system for many users, and attempts to find the best movie to watch. There is also a nice IMdb grabber for fast movie adding.
- Avidemux
- 'Avidemux' is a graphical tool to edit video. It can open AVI, MPEG, Nuppelvideo and BMPs. Most common codecs are supported (M-JPEG, MPEG, DivX, Xvid, huffyuv, WMA, etc.) thanks to libavcodec. Video can be edited, cut, appended, filtered (resize/crop/denoise), and re-encoded to either AVI (DivX/Xvid) or MPEG 1/2.
- Besssugo
- besssugo is a free computational tool specifically designed to aid a cognizant expert—i.e. you, whether an engineer, scientist, technician, geek, etc—to build videos showing the result of a certain scientific calculation or whatever data can be computed or storied in a digital computer. Technically speaking, it is a plugin for the computational tool wasora, which provides means to parse and understand a high-level plain-text input file containing algebraic expressions, data for function interpolation, differential equations and output instructions amongst other facilities. Therefore, any mathematical computation which can be done by wasora—i.e. solving systems of differential-algebraic equations, multidimensional interpolation of scattered data, numerical integration and differentiation, etc.—can be combined with the facilities that besssugo provides to create visual representations in the form of animations.
- Blender
- Blender is an integrated 3D suite for modelling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback (games).
Blender has its own particular user interface, which is implemented entirely in OpenGL and designed with speed in mind. Python bindings are available for scripting; import/export features for popular file formats like 3D Studio and Wavefront Obj are implemented as scripts by the community. Stills, animations, models for games or other third party engines and interactive content in the form of a standalone binary and/or a web plug-in are common products of Blender use.
- CamE
- 'camE' is a Webcam grabber for video4linux devices. It is based on the xawtv webcam app, but extended to use imlib2 for applying antialised, blended truetype fonts to the image before upload. A large number of new options have been added including scp support (in addition to ftp), image archiving, and much more. It runs as a daemon and needs no X connection to operate.

Critics present three citations for theatre contributions
The Columbus Dispatch - January 26, 2014 08:09 PM
Tonight, at the Jewish Community Center, the Central Ohio Theatre Critics Circle presented its 20th annual citations for outstanding achievements in theater.
Rather than focusing on competitive annual "best" categories, the circle annually honors local individuals or groups whose work "promotes the higher values of theater" or "expands the possibilities of theater."
All three 2014 citations, presented as part of the Theater Roundtable's fourteenth annual Theater Awards Night, reflect a unanimous consensus of central Ohio theater critics:
William Goldsmith in front of the Columbus Children's Theatre. File photo
A Roy Bowen Lifetime Achievement Award to William Goldsmith for nurturing the talents and imaginations of tens of thousands of children and for writing and directing many popular stage adaptations of classic tales as youth theater director at Players Theatre Columbus in the 1970s and '80s and, for 25 years since 1989, as artistic director of Columbus Children's Theatre, a troupe that celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013.
Kevin McClatchy (wearing glasses) as painter Mark Rothko and Tim Simeone as his assistant Ken in the CATCO production of Red, the 2010 Tony winner for best play. Photo credit: Red Generation Photography
To CATCO and the Columbus Museum of Art, for educating central Ohio about the power of art and the creative challenges of artists by jointly scheduling CATCO's area premiere of Red, John Logan's 2010 Tony winner for best play about Mark Rothko at a pivotal point in his career, and "Mark Rothko: The Decisive Decade," the museum's first major exhibit of works by the abstract master.

To Short North Stage, for raising the standard in locally produced musicals with an ambitious 2013 season that culminated in the long-awaited central Ohio premiere of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Sunday in the Park with George, a challenging 1985 Pulitzer Prize winner that was brought to vivid life by blending local talents with such New York experts as sound designer Leon Rothenberg, a 2013 Tony Award winner, and director Sarna Lapine, niece of James Lapine.
Note: Check out Theater Talk on Monday and Tuesday for more reports from Sunday's awards show, including the Theatre Roundtable's Harold Awards and competitive awards for outstanding productions, acting, directing and design of 2013.

Ulva lactuca
Ulva lactuca Linnaeus, a green alga in the division Chlorophyta, is the type species of the genus Ulva, also known by the common name sea lettuce.
Ulva lactuca is a thin flat green alga growing from a discoid holdfast. The margin is somewhat ruffled and often torn. It may reach 18 cm or more in length, though generally much less, and up to 30 cm across.[1] The membrane is two cells thick, soft and translucent,[2] and grows attached, without a stipe, to rock by a small disc-shaped holdfast.[3] Green to dark green in color, this species in the Chlorophyta is formed of two layers of cells irregularly arranged, as seen in cross section. The chloroplast is cup-shaped with 1 to 3 pyrenoids. There are other species of Ulva which are similar and not always easy to differentiate.
The distribution is worldwide: Europe, North America (west and east coasts), Central America, Caribbean Islands, South America, Africa, Indian Ocean Islands, South-west Asia, China, Pacific Islands, Australia[1] and New Zealand.[2] [4]
Ulva lactuca is very common on rocks and on other algae in the littoral and sublittoral on shores all around the British Isles,[5] the coast of France,[6] the Low Countries[6] and up to Denmark.[7] It is particularly prolific in areas where nutrients are abundant.[8] This has been the case off the coast of Brittany where a high level of nitrates, from the intensive farming there, washes out to sea.[9][10] The result is that large quantities of Ulva lactuca are washed up on beaches, where their decay produces methane, hydrogen sulphide, and other gases.[9][11]
Certain environmental conditions can lead to the algae spreading over large areas. In August 2009, unprecedented levels of the algae washed up on the beaches of Brittany, France,[12][13] causing a major public health scare as it decomposed. The rotting thalli produced large quantities of hydrogen sulphide, a toxic gas. In one incident near Saint-Michel-en-Grève, a horse rider lost consciousness and his horse died after breathing the seaweed fumes. Environmentalists blamed the phenomenon on excessive use fertilizers and the excretion of nitrates by pig and poultry farmers.[12] In a separate incident at the same beach, a truck driver and several schoolchildren died after taking part in the cleanup without protection.[citation needed]
Life history
The sporangial and gametangial thalli are morphologically alike. The diploid adult plant produces haploid zoospores by meiosis, these settle and grow to form haploid male and female plants similar to the diploid plants. When these haploid plants release gametes they unite to produce the zygote which germinates, and grows to produce the diploid plant.[14][15][16]
U. lactuca is locally used in Scotland in soups and salads.[17] [18]

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Nov. 18, 2009) – Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas), a three-time Olympian with the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team, was placed on the University Interscholastic League (UIL) All-Century First Team with nine other athletes to represent the highest levels of volleyball achievement in Texas high school history.
Since 1909, the UIL has grown into the largest inter-school organization of its kind in the world. The UIL provides high school students in the state of Texas with educational experiences through competition, while promoting good sportsmanship and cooperation among member schools.
In addition to Sykora, three other athletes with U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team connections were named to the UIL All-Century Teams. Demetria Sance (San Antonio, Texas), a 2000 U.S. Women's Olympic Team member, was named to the UIL All-Century Second Team. She was a standout at San Antonio John Jay High School. Erin Aldrich (Dallas, Texas), who joined the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team in 2001 after being a member of the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Team in the high jump, was named to the UIL All-Century Third Team for her accomplishments at Richardson Lake Highlands High School. Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas), who trained with the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team last spring, was named to the UIL All-Century Second Team for her career at San Antonio Southwest High School and is a current member of the University of Texas volleyball and track and field teams.
Sykora, a1995 graduate of Burleson High School, was a multi-sport prep standout competing in volleyball, basketball, cross country and track and field. However, volleyball was her true calling in terms of athletics.
Sykora led Burleson High School to a 32-2 record her senior year, which helped the Elks reach the UIL regional quarterfinals in 1994. As a high school athlete, she was a phenomenal outside hitter and had her No. 32 prep jersey retired in a ceremony in 2001.
"I would have to say that it is an honor to be placed among such great athletes," Sykora said. "Sport has allowed me to travel the world, see things I read about in history books and live out my dreams. These dreams started in Texas, and no matter where my life takes me, I will always be a Texan. I am proud and thankful for that."
After high school, Sykora became a two-time American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-America Second-Team selection (1997 and 1998) at Texas A&M University. She averaged 4.74 kills and 4.37 digs per set as a senior, while ranking ninth in the NCAA Division I in dig average. She also participated on the Texas A&M track team (1995-96) and women's basketball team (1996-97). Sykora won the Southwest Conference heptathlon championship in 1996.
Sykora joined the U.S. Women's National Team in January 1999 and switched position to the then-newly created position of libero. She immediately took to the new position and landed a spot on the 2000 U.S. Olympic Games roster and finished second in digs on the grandest sporting event stage. Sykora earned the Best Digger award at the 2004 Olympic Games as the Team USA libero. She made her third Olympic Games roster in 2008.
As for Sance, she was a four-time All-State, all-district and all-city selection while at John Jay High School before going to the University of Texas. She was MVP of the 1991 UIL state tournament as a freshman after leading John Jay to the state title. In 1994, Sance paced John Jay to the Texas 5A state semifinals after three other state semifinal or final match appearances.
Aldrich was a three-time volleyball letterwinner at Lake Highlands High School while also competing in track and field. At the time, she recorded the second highest high jump in prep history at the Junior National High Jump Championship and placed eighth at the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials.
Hooker, who was a member of the U.S. Women's National Team squad that toured China in spring of 2008, was rated as the No. 8 volleyball recruit by PrepVolleyball.com. She was an all-state outside hitter as a junior and senior at Southwest High School. She also was a standout track star in the high jump on the national scene, in addition to posting impressive numbers on the basketball court at Southwest. At the University of Texas, she has earned several NCAA and USA Outdoor championships in the high jump to go with being a three-time AVCA All-American.
As part of its Centennial Celebration, the UIL created All-Century Teams with fan voting for various sports teams. Fans cast more than 14,000 votes for their favorite volleyball players in Texas high school history.

Shortly after I got out of college I became interested in single-malt Scotch, and for about five or six years I spent a lot of time and money learning about different whiskies, whisky regions in Scotland, the history of particular distilleries. I branched out into other types of whiskey--bourbon, Irish, Tennessee, etc--and tasted a lot of different expressions. At one point I had more than 20 different whiskies in my liquor cabinet, most of them fairly high-end.
Eventually, though, I sort of settled into a "routine" with whiskey, and now I usually have one good bargain Scotch for "everyday" use (although I don't drink every day), one standby mid-range that I know I will like a lot, and perhaps one or two nice ones that I can bring out for guests or special occasions. I still love a great Scotch, and to some degree I still covet that $400 bottle of Macallan 25, but I don't feel like I have to concentrate on every sip anymore, or just limit myself to the absolute best.
I'm just beginning my obsession with tea, and likely this phase of buying and tasting many different teas, researching histories and regions, learning about different tea rituals, and so on, will eventually pass--though I expect it will be some years before it does. But I expect that there are others of you who are a bit like me--obsessive at first and eventually settling into a comfortable routine. For you, what are your "everyday" teas? The ones you know you will enjoy, but don't necessarily have to pay a lot of attention to, or futz around with too much, and which you usually or always keep stocked?

Welcome to the Ordway Lab
Lab Director: Scott K. Robinson,
Ordway Professor of Ecosystem Conservation, 352-273-1965, email@example.com
Our lab studies the ecology, behavior, and conservation of birds in Florida, the American Midwest, and in the Neotropics.
Our current research interests include the following projects:
- Effects of urbanization on the community composition and population ecology of birds, with special emphasis on those species that appear to benefit from human habitat modifications
- Factors governing the elevational distributions of birds in the Andes, including biotic and abiotic interactions
- Effects of habitat productivity on bird communities, especially in the Amazon Basin where bird communities seem to change greatly among habitats that vary in productivity (e.g., nutrient-poor white sands forests vs. rich early successional habitats along large rivers).
- Meta-community analyses of birds in isolated patches of relatively unproductive habitats such as white sands soils and cactus-dominated deserts in South America
- Impacts of brood parasitism by Brown-headed Cowbirds on their avian hosts, especially the impacts of "mafia" behavior on the part of the cowbird
- Experience-based decision rules governing habitat selection and site fidelity in songbirds, and how these decision rules work in human-modified habitats
- Linking nesting success with patterns of nest predation
- Life history responses to climatic, productivity, and urban gradients.
- Impacts of habitat fragmentation on bird communities
Curso de campo
Our lab teaches a research design field course to Latin American students about topics relevant to ecology and conservation. Until now we have taught this course in the Peruvian Amazon and in Colombia, but we are looking to expand to other countries as well. Students have come from Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Bolivia and Ecuador to participate in this intensive 10-day field experience that leads to new skills, international collaborations and long lasting camaraderie.

We asked followers on Twitter what their solutions for problems in Congress would be. Comments edited for clarity and grammar:
We should abolish the filibuster now.
No donations should be allowed or collected during congressional sessions or before the deadline to register as a candidate.
Have elected officials pay for their own health care and taxes.
We need term limits, and the ability to recall members of Congress. They need to quit spending so much of our money.
I believe in #NoBudgetNoPay. It's Congress' most important power, and failure to pass budgets leads to other dysfunctions.
Congress needs a fixed salary based on the U.S. average and pay-for-performance incentives.
Everything is a negotiation, not a collaboration, so good ideas get "bargained out" of the final solutions.
They need to work like the rest of us. No Mondays and Fridays off. They should be on the same medical plan as their constituents.

Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Bankers
I focused on the difference between those who were disciplined about taking nickels-and-dimes from price movements, against those who fell in love with their holdings and lost money.
In fact it was a classic John Henry story. The history of American business is a John Henry story. Progress lies in replacing people with machines. Those who do this pocket the profits. The rest of us pocket the value.
Today that daytrading floor is as dead as John Henry's job of driving spikes on a railroad. Software rules. Those nickels-and-dimes go to algorithms, from high-frequency trading outfits like Getco, which now wants to take out the rest of market maker Knight Capital (KCG) for what I think is a dirt-cheap price.
If you want to know how the business world works, look at who is buying the sports teams. Joe Ricketts automated stock trading at what's now TD Ameritrade (AMTD) , turning thousands of brokers out of work, and then bought the Chicago Cubs, as Bloomberg reported. Dan Gilbert automated mortgage lending with Quicken Loans, turning thousands of mortgage brokers out of work, then bought the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to Quicken PR.
Arthur Blank automated home improvement logistics at Home Depot (HD) , putting thousands of middlemen out of work, and now, as my Atlanta Business Chronicle reported a decade ago, he owns the Atlanta Falcons.
What all these stories have in common is that they put office workers out of work. Middlemen everywhere are being replaced with scaled computing. Outer-ring suburbs, from which these people long commuted to work at downtown offices, are becoming the new Rust Belt.
Factories came back, of course. But people had been replaced by robots on those lines, putting big profits into the hands of factory owners, while creating enormous new value for consumers. It's in spending this value that we've created armies of dog walkers, yoga instructors and artisanal cupcake bakers.
What should investors take away from all this? Put your money into companies creating this new value, companies like Stratasys (SSYS) and 3D Systems (DDD) that are turning hand-work into printing.
Look for the next hot IPO, to a company like Makerbot, which is bringing this revolution to small businesses and consumers much as kids like Steve Jobs of Apple (AAPL) and Bill Gates of Microsoft (MSFT) automated office work when I was going to college.
These are early days. You can make 3D printing a nano-scale technology, as with these devices for catching single cells from the Netherlands, at 3Ders. If you want your kid to be the next Jobs, or the next Gates, teach them science and engineering. Tell them to get their hands dirty.

Our weekend wine pick from Santa Maria Valley that's tailor-made for winter enjoyment.
Cambria Estate Winery �Julia�s Vineyard� 2010 Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley; $25)
This wine tastes tailor-made for winter enjoyment�especially for those times when you�re looking for the elegance and food-friendliness of a Pinot Noir, but want some heft in your glass, too. Enjoy deep, lush flavors of dark cherries, the vibrancy of strawberries, and a long, spicy finish�all delivered in a firm yet graceful package.
Yes, it�s a splurge, but in my experience, Pinot Noirs this good generally cost even more, and are a lot more difficult to find. Here�s a widely available choice that�s worth bringing out for an intimate dinner party.
Recipe Recommendations:
These winter-perfect dishes will flatter the Cambria Estates Winery �Julia�s Vineyard� Pinot Noir:

�Rosemary Apricot Pork Tenderloin

Roasted Breast of Chicken with Mushrooms Duxelles and Herb Butter

Hudson Valley Duck

Beef Bourguignon

Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb

Silky Long Natural Curls
It seems like we are getting a lot of request to show more curly hairstyles so here is another one. When curls come into play a lot of women think it's hours of maintenance and too much of a hassle. Let's be honest if your hair is naturally curly it's as much work if not more to straighten them or give them the shape you want as opposed to letting your curls flow freely. Just apply a nice hair oil to give it this nice and silky texture such as Moroccan Oil.

I love this whisk, it helps my Matcha tea to develop a nice foam on top. Never wash it in soap, just rinse in water, and the natural oils on the bamboo will prevent it from absorbing any substance.
Looks like a bamboo whisk

Topic: crop_resized with acts_as_attachment
I am uploading an image using acts_as_attachment. Acts_as_attachment supports resizing using RMagick, but in this case I need to not only resize an uploaded image, but also to make sure that the aspect ratio matches some predetermined dimensions. I believe that the best way to do this is by employing RMagick's crop_resized method. Is it possible to call this method using acts_as_attachment?

Simply the best way to select the right golf shaft for your golf game!
One of the comments we received from customers on our new golf clubmaking catalog was "Where was the golf shaft fitting chart located in the back of the golf clubmaking catalog you had the past 3 years? I used that a lot for reference." To be totally honest, we didn't have the room this year to insert the 3 extra pages needed in the catalog. However, we realize that a lot of our customers used this as a handy reference guide so we have now updated it and made it downloadable on our site. Not only that, but we made it more interactive at the same time.
What is different?
Not only is the Hireko Quick Shaft Fitting Guide updated to reflect the new golf shafts in the catalog, but we have added hyperlinks to each of the products. With one click, you can now go directly to it's Hireko golf shafts page, read the description, look up the pricing and detailed specifications to compare products and even order. This will help you choose the best shaft for your game.
What does Hireko Quick Shaft Fitting Guide do?
For those not familiar with the Hireko Quick Shaft Fitting Guide, it is a guide to help filter the wood and irons shafts we offer by clubhead speed (or player's distance), shaft weight and ball flight. The categorization is based on our ongoing golf shaft testing project called the Dynamic Shaft Fitting Index or DSFI for short.
The key is to find the group or category of graphite or steel shafts based on your or your customer's golf swing speed, distance and tempo. From there, we break it down in different weight ranges starting from lightest golf shaft to heaviest within the grouping. For example, if you or your custom is looking for more distance, you would choose a golf shaft that is lighter. For more control, you would select a heavier golf shaft. Once the weight range has been selected, then you can sub-filter those golf shafts based on trajectory or fade/draw. In a nutshell, the Hireko Quick Shaft Fitting Guide saves times from sorting through 50 pages of shaft in the catalog or thumbing through countless web pages to find a suitable shaft.
The Hireko Shaft Fitting Guide is just another example of how we are committed to educating our customer base and making ordering or selecting golf shafts more efficient.

Book Review - Eat & Run: My Unlikely Journey to Ultramarathon Greatness - Page 2
Foreshadowing much of what is developed throughout the book, in the first chapter, Jurek describes bonking in the sweltering heat at the midway point of Death Valley's grueling 135-mile Badwater ultramarathon in 2005. But rather than a blow-by-blow treatment, Jurek's is rich with introspection, tying all of his life events and endurance feats back to a difficult, self-conscious childhood, a mother suffering from early onset MS, a strict, often surly father and his explorations with food, in which he evolved from being a McDonald's-chowing machine to a thoughtful plant-based eater.
Even at the pinnacle in his ultrarunning career, Jurek questions whether he was "the Real Deal" or a fraud, whether he should have listened to the experts who said "athletes needed to fill their bodies with animal protein," trained less, could "quit without being a quitter" … then, the familiar chiding voice of his long-time friend and pacer Dusty Olson squelches the self doubt.
"You're not gonna win this fucking race lying down in the dirt. C'mon, Jurker, get the fuck up. … Do you wanna be somebody, Jurker? Do you wanna be somebody?"
Jurek's "Unlikely Journey" began growing up on a dead-end road on the edge of the woods outside winter-frigid Duluth, Minnesota. Particularly as his mother's MS progressed, many of the household chores, including cooking, fell on a young Jurek. Money was tight. His father, who worked two jobs, was a tough task master and disciplinarian—one day, not happy with Jurek's firewood-stacking job, he knocked down the big pile, forcing Jurek to start over. A complaint was met by: "Sometimes you just do things!" It is a mantra Jurek repeats many times throughout the book.
Tracing his food passion to her, Jurek was close to his mother, who, before her sickness, tended a family garden and taught Jurek to cook, even when he could barely stir a bowl. But his was not a fun childhood, and he would often escape to wander the nearby woods. As a high-school sophomore, working as a short-order cook, taking care of his mom, Jurek found the focus he needed, by joining the cross-country ski team, the genesis of his running. He writes, though, that, "I ran because I wanted to ski." He thrived and did well at the sport, winning races and becoming acquainted with such terms as "VO2max."
It is also when he met a talented, flamboyant bad-boy skier named Dusty Olson, who writes Jurek, "was going to change my life." From the beginning, theirs was a tumultuous relationship, with the womanizing, drinking Olson often berating the straight-laced, reserved Jurek. Then, with Jurek in college (his father had kicked him out of the house about then), the odd couple ran, biked and skied together. And it was Olson who convinced Jurek to run his first ultra, the 1994 Minnesota Voyageur 50 Mile, in which Jurek took second over the more accomplished Olson in third. He had found his path.
And while a new friend, local running legend "Hippie Dan" had introduced him to earth-friendly philosophies (and drinking wheatgrass), Jurek was pounding McChicken sandwiches and grilling "whatever animal flesh I could find." Ironically, it was at McDonald's that Jurek met his would-be wife, Leah, who was mostly vegetarian at the time and would pave the path to his vegetarian and eventual vegan lifestyle.
