Robt Jones Holdings Ltd (RJH) is now the largest owner of office property in Takapuna, after buying the AIA Building at 5-7 Byron Ave.
The 17-level, 9485sq m office tower is primarily occupied by the Inland Revenue Department, but also houses both AIA and North Shore law firm Simpson Western.
Andrew Reed of Colliers International's corporate and institutional sales team, who brokered the sale with colleague John Goddard, says the AIA Building sale is the latest in a series of significant property transactions in Takapuna. "Takapuna has attracted a lot of property investment appetite this year, with several high-profile building sales including Westfield Shore City, Auckland Council's North Shore office building and the Nielsen Centre on Hurstmere Rd, which was also purchased by RJH," Reed says.
David Rankin, investment manager at RJH, says the company is very happy with the direction Takapuna is taking.
"This is our third Takapuna office building and reflects our very positive view of the location. Auckland Council's development of parks and streetscapes, plus the activity of developers, all make Takapuna the most attractive work location outside of the CBD.
"We will continue to acquire Takapuna buildings as suitable opportunities arise," Rankin says.
Along with the AIA Building, RJH owns two other high-profile office buildings in Takapuna: the recently purchased Nielsen Centre at 129 Hurstmere Rd, a five-level building with tenants, including AC Nielsen, AFT Pharmaceuticals, Golders and Colliers International; and the Takapuna Finance Centre at 159 Hurstmere Rd, a 5000sq m building housing Craigs Investment Partners, Computershare Registry Ltd and Phonak NZ Ltd.
RJH, formed in 1961, owns around $1 billion of commercial and industrial property in Auckland, Wellington and Sydney, leased to almost 500 commercial and government tenants.
Jimmy O'Brien, general manager of Colliers International's North Shore office, says that with $440 million having been earmarked by Auckland Council for priority funding for the Takapuna business district, developers have been given the confidence to commit to projects which will enhance the area for residents and workers.
"Substantial mixed-use development projects incorporating apartments, offices, specialty retail, bars and restaurants are currently in progress.
"This broad range of projects will enhance Takapuna as a great place to live and work."
O'Brien says positive flow-on effects on the property market from this development activity had already begun, with several buildings being upgraded in order to remain competitive as the business district undergoes revitalisation.

You will love having your machine flush with the desk top - It's much easier to sew almost anything that way, unless you need the free arm, and even that is fairly workable if you have the removable insert that gives access. If you have a machine that has the bobbin cover below the level of the machine bed, as I do on my 40-yr-old Bernina, then you need easy access to that area. If it's tightly fitted into the desk top, it would have to be lifted out each time you change a bobbin.
Another advantage to a rolling chair is that you can place a little table or TV tray of some sort at an L to the main table, and you can easily turn to do ironing, trimming or pinning. If your floor has carpet or a delicate floor, you'll need to get a chair mat to roll on. It's probably a good idea even without the rolling chair.

This two-dimensional form of carbon has properties not seen in any other substance
Keith A. Jenkins
Graphite is made of a huge number of sheets of graphene stacked on top of each other. If a single layer of graphite is peeled off, we have graphene. A light pencil mark on paper may actually leave traces of graphene, as pencil "lead" actually contains graphite. But peeling off a single layer of free-standing graphene without having it buckle and fold is not the same as taking a sheet off a stack of paper.
Geim and Novoselov first obtained graphene by exfoliation using transparent tape: By repeatedly sticking the tape on graphite and removing it, they were able to sometimes transfer small flakes of graphene to another carrier material. This technique let them obtain enough graphene to do the seminal experiments that led to their Nobel Prize. This ease of producing graphene probably led to the intense and rapid interest in the material: Any university with a chunk of high-quality graphite, a supply of tape and patient graduate students could produce enough of the material to do some interesting experiments!
However, the flakes of graphene made this way are tiny: tens of micrometers in width. Such small pieces are enough for experiments but useless for the real electronics applications that our group had in mind. Modern electronic circuits are manufactured by wafer processing: Thin discs with a diameter of 200 or 300 millimeters, made of silicon or other materials, are treated with chemical and optical steps to make dozens or hundred of identical circuits simultaneously. For graphene electronics to be practical, graphene has to be made in larger amounts and sizes, and processed into circuits in a way that can be mass-produced.
At the moment there are two methods of producing graphene on this scale. Both involve processes to grow a single layer of atoms stretching across many centimeters—enormous for this material. Graphene is a picoscale (300 x 10–12 meters) material in one dimension, but macroscopic in its other two dimensions.
One growth method is the formation of an epitaxial layer (where the crystalline structure of the layer aligns to that of the substrate) of graphene on silicon carbide (SiC). At sufficiently high temperatures the silicon–carbon bonds will break and the silicon will evaporate from the surface, leaving exposed carbon atoms. If this event occurs with appropriate gases present, additional carbon atoms will adhere to those on the surface, forming the hexagonal pattern that makes graphene. This method has been used for a few years to produce 50-millimeter wafers with a silicon-carbide support structure covered completely by a layer of graphene, which can be patterned and formed into devices and circuits using many of the processing techniques found in conventional electronics fabrication. Wafers 100 millimeters in diameter are now becoming available, which makes this method even more attractive. Silicon carbide is particularly useful for radio frequency electronics: Unlike silicon, it is an insulator, so unwanted signals will not propagate from device to device through the substrate. Additionally, it is optically transparent. One drawback of the epitaxial graphene is that one of its surfaces is fairly tightly bonded to the base, impacting its mobility and making for a transistor that would be slower than one made of free-standing graphene.
Another method of producing wafer-scale graphene is growth through the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of carbon on a catalyst material. Good quality graphene has been produced using copper as the catalyst. If a wafer covered with copper is exposed to ethylene (C2H4) under appropriate conditions, a single layer of graphene forms on it. Of course, copper is a conducting material, and it connects all the graphene together, making it useless for circuits, so the graphene layer must be transferred to an insulating substrate before it can be put into production. The graphene is first coated with a polymer, then the copper on its underside is chemically etched away. The graphene/polymer sheet is placed on a carrier wafer, and the polymer is then removed, leaving a single sheet of carbon atoms. This technique can be used to cover 200- or 300-millimeter wafers with graphene, and any final substrate can be used. Therefore it's now possible to transfer the graphene onto already-fabricated circuits to make a hybrid technology. The drawback of the CVD method is that, at the moment, the mobility of the graphene is not as high as that formed from epitaxial growth, due to residues of the polymer adhering to the graphene, physical domains (places where the grid of carbon atoms doesn't align, creating boundaries) and even wrinkles in the graphene sheet. But with the amount of effort spent on generating graphene with CVD, this situation will probably improve.

Derived from an experiment (carried out in Switzerland, aka Helvetica) where the nucleus of a calcium molecule in skin was removed, leaving a temporarily stable electron/proton shell, causing a mutation that made the skin grow over all the openings in the skin. The helvetica scenario is a nightmare scenario that occurrs when this technique of removing the calcium nucleus- called quantum superpositioning- is used irresponsibly to harm people.
Political advisors feared that the country would resort to biological weapons, causing something like the helvetica scenario to happen.

Noone really knows where the makers of Look Around You came up with this idea but it is thought that it could possibly be an inside joke(possibly to the entire country) that the U.S. is left out of. When helvetica happens you do not want to be anywhere near that area. your face will melt off which is pretty bad.
It is not only limited to calcium however, it can also happen with i-calcium atomic weight 42.

And you! Reality check, they didn't break up cause of that. Justin has flirted with tons of girls and selena with tons of guys. They broke up cause they just probably got tired of each other. That just triggered there relationship. It was probably more that selena could take. I mean shes already being judged for just dating the poor guy.

Cadillac Reviews Discussion, 2000 Cadillac Seville STS in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; ...
2000 Cadillac Seville STS
The Cadillac Seville represents everything that is great in America. This car will get you noticed, and that is a good thing. If youre the type of person who can overlook small things like a slightly cheap interior, less than excellent build quality, and the sticker price, well this is the car for you. Driving a Seville STS will have people turning heads, looking at the car over and over. It will be catching stares from people while youre washing it in the driveway. It represents power, prestige, and the sense that youve made it. Sure, you can get a Lexus, but when have you ever caught yourself staring and dreaming about a Lexus? Exactly, you havent. The Seville is a different type of animal, and its the type that I love.
The specific model Im talking about is the 2000 Seville STS. Sure, you can get the cheaper and plusher Seville SLS, but youre basically getting a Deville in re-organized packaging. When you say, Yeah I just picked up a Cadillac STS people instantly know what Im talking about. Try saying the same thing, only say Cadillac SLS. It doesnt work; people seem confused. Still, regardless of what model you pick up, this car is an excellent value on the used car market. Take my new Seville STS for example. My car is a 00 STS with 54k miles; Sterling Silver w/ Pewter interior. Fully loaded, only missing the Navigation system and sunroof. The sticker for this car brand new easily topped $52k. However, I just picked up this clean example complete with new head gaskets, water pump and motor mount for only $10,700. Yes, this 8-year-old car only cost me $10,700. Amazing, and thats only the beginning.
Cadillac was on the emergence of a great renaissance when this car was introduced in late 1997. Not only was this car a huge improvement over the already great model it replaced, it was a huge hit with automotive journalists alike. Sales, on the other hand, dropped almost 11k units in the 1998 model year. Why you ask? Price. The base price for a 98 SLS was almost $43,000 while the STS went for a staggering $46,000. This might sound reasonable to a Cadillac loyalist, but this car was up against some stiff competition. BMW had its excellent new for 97 5-series, Lexus had its ultra refined GS400, and Mercedes had its super elegant E-Series. Suffice to say, sales floundered and the car went out of production in 2004 to make way for the brand new STS (minus the Seville moniker). However, there are Seville loyalists (like myself) who think this is the best modern Cadillac yet. Sure, there are a few downsides to owning this car, but they are worth accepting.
I have to say, this is the most beautiful and elegant looking sedan to ever come out of Detroit. Hell, it may be one of the best looking cars ever put into production. Sure, the new CTS and STS are impressive efforts, but none of them do it for me like the Seville STS. The car is perfectly executed, from the front grille to the rear taillights and everything in between. Cadillac was at its absolute highest from a design standpoint when this car was put into production, and there are few cars that do it for me like the Seville does. It turns me on, no matter where I see one or what kind of mood Im in. I swear, I think I have a Seville monitor in my head, because I can always spot one coming down the road. The car looks stunning in Crimson Red, a lighter shade of burgundy, Sable Black, which is just badass. White Diamond is typical Cadillac, typically elegant. Sterling Silver is very clean, sophisticated, and sexy. Another of my favorite is Polo Green, an extremely rare color that looks black from a distance. The other colors are no match for the body of the Seville, and just dull the cars look. The 98-01 Seville SLS have a plain silver colored grille, ugly plastic molding on the bottom, and cheap wheels that look out of place on a car of this caliber. Starting in 2001, you could order a STS Appearance Package which added a body colored grille, 16 7-spoke chrome wheels, body color appearance molding, among other things. This package became standard in 2003; the STS pretty much stayed the same throughout its 5-year run, with the exception of 2001 when Cadillac offered a STS Sport Package, which offered larger 17 6 spoke wheels and other accessories. In 2002, both SLS and STS models left behind the old Cadillac logo in favor of the new Art & Science logo first introduced on the CTS. Other than this few appearance changes, there was nothing to distinguish the cars year to year. Only true Seville loyalists could spot these changes.
The interior of the Seville has its ups and downs, very unlike the exterior. At first glance, the car looks of the highest caliber, using exquisite leathers, high-end gauge clusters, smart controls, and beautiful wood trim. Unfortunately, this is quickly downplayed when looking closer. The headliner is made of a cheap, mouse like material found in Chevrolets, the plastics used on the door jams and around the console area is GM Corporate, which means of the lowest caliber. You can pull the A-pillar material off with one hand, and the weather-stripping around the door needs to be reattached on several occasions. However, none of this really matters to me. If I would have paid $53k for the car brand new, yeah I would have been disappointed with the materials. However, Im not complaining one bit at $10k. Another thing Im not complaining about is the features. Damn, this car really brings a new meaning to the phrase fully loaded. Power leather memory seats, Bose 425 watt sound system, 6-disc CD changer, and optional navigation system. Sure, most modern cars have self parking assistance, lane change warning and other useless crap you dont need, but for a late 90s car the Seville has everything a person would want. Im personally the most fond of the Bose stereo, which I have still not found a suitable match for. Even the new STS with its 15-speaker system still cant match the Seville for sound quality. This blows the competition away of the same area, with the exception being the LS400s Nakamichi sound system. However, you might not need the Bose system at all
You might instead be listening to the Cadillac Northstar V8. Yes, the engine that practically saved Cadillac in the early 90s is installed beneath the bonnet of this sexy machine. All 300 horses are driven through the front wheels, and its probably one of the best exhaust notes this side of a Ferrari or Porsche. The car has a typical V8 snarl when being started up, but it really shines when you floor it. You can get some serious trouble when driving this car. Most Sevilles never have the chance to be driven hard, since they are owned by old ladies driving to church. For this single reason, is why most people experience problems with the Northstar engine. The engine is extremely reliable if well maintained. The key to a strong running Northstar is changing the coolant. GM recommends the Dex-Cool get changed every 5-years/150k miles; I wouldnt go by this, I would get it done every 3-years/48k miles. This way, you dont have to worry about the engine blowing a head gasket. Also doing regular WOT (Wide Open Throttle; a.k.a mash that bitch to the floor) will help keep all the carbon deposits cleaned out. Do those few things (along with changing the oil of course) and you should be able to get 200k or more miles out of the Seville and its Northstar.
Ok youve heard me ramble on about the seductive styling, nicely laid out interior, and powerful engine, so how does it drive? Well, what do you think? Its a Cadillac, so it has a smooth ride that soaks up the bumps like no other. Its not super soft like the Deville, but no overly hard like the CTS. The ride motions are well controlled, and the handling is superb for such a heavy FWD sedan. It takes the corners with ease, and there is little understeer to be detected. However, if you want BMW handling this isnt your car. The car does have a little more body roll than your average sports luxury sedan, but it isnt anything 90% of people complain about. It feels confident throughout the ride, and the only hint of torque steer is when mashing the accelerator when exiting a corner. Overall, I give it a 7.5/10. In late 2002, Cadillac introduced the Magneride suspension for the Seville STS (and to be introduced on the 50th Anniversary Corvette) and was a marvel if anything. It uses a special fluid to adjust shock rates depending on the road. From what I have read, handling was largely improved and finding a late example 03 STS is the best deal on the luxury market today. I havent had a chance to drive a Magneride equipped car, but I hope to in the near future.
The Cadillac Seville STS represents the best value on the used luxury car market today. Modern styling, loads of electronic goodies, powerful Northstar engine, great handling, and a low price makes the car the best of the best. You can find plenty of low mileage, good conditioned cars for under $10k. The 03 STS w/ Navigation, Sunroof, and around 40k miles will set you back a very reasonable $15k. Not a bad deal for a car that stickered for near $60k when it was put to sleep. Now, I have an assignment for you: find a low mileage Lexus GS400, BMW 540i, or Mercedes E420 w/50k miles for under $14k. Might be a little harder than you think
Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS
Great entertaining and informative review! Thanks for posting!
Sometimes (especially when I feel the need for hard acceleration) I wish I would have bought the STS over the S320. Oh well, there's always another chance!
Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS
I'll be keeping a log in my review about my experiences with my STS. I'll probably update once a month or so, so I don't sound too repetitive. Here is my opinions after 3 days of ownership:
*The Seville is truly a highway car. In the past 3 days, I've put almost 300 miles on it and it truly soaks up the road. Engine is plenty powerful for passing grandmas, and the handling is predictable, if a bit soft. Luckily, soft is what I like best so kudos to Cadillac for creating a really great touring car.
*The interior has too many cheap pieces of trim. Even compared to my Camry, the car just has too many downfalls. My weatherstripping has been reattached several times already, and there is a persistent rattle (the old Onstar attachment thing; need to get that removed ASAP). Otherwise, a great layout. Clean and simple.
*I love the seats. Plenty comfortable for a road trip, and after 1 1/2 hours of driving I still felt relaxed. The gauges are extremely easy to read, if a bit cheesy looking (I'm comparing this to the new CTS and Escalade), the Bose stereo is amazing, and the climate control does a great job of cooling down the car.
*Fuel economy is pretty good for a large V8 car. I'm getting around 17MPG city and 22 highway. I'll be driving a lot less now I have this car, but thats fine with me.
*The styling is a huge plus. I've had more compliments on this car than I ever thought possible. Nobody believes me when I say the car is 8 years old (I can thank the original owner for keeping the car garaged! ) and the car still looks sexy today. Personally, I prefer this body to the new Cadillac's.
Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the car. There are a few downsides, but none of them hinder what I think is a wonderful machine. My mom, grandfather, and I will be driving to the mountains soon and we've planned to take this car. I'll report back after that and see how well she does on long distance cruises (the car, not my mom!).
Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS
It's been a busy month for the Seville. I find any reason possible to drive the damn thing. It's smooth, powerful, and extremely comfortable. Compliments have been plentiful. Most people find it hard to believe the car is 8 years old; thats always a good sign. I often find people looking at the car while going down the road (or either at me. "What the hell is that kid doing driving a Cadillac? He most of stole it") The car simply shines on the open road, where it effortlessly soaks up the road. The ride is super smooth, and handling continues to impress for such a large FWD car. Gas mileage is town is 17-18, but on the highway I'm seeing 23-25MPG. Northstar is extremely powerful, and has a great sound. Interior trim is holding up well, with few rattles emitting through the cabin. Seats were comfortable on 6 hour road trip; heated seats are wonderful. Complaints are few:
1. Service Theft System randomly appears once or twice a week. Simple remedy: turn the car off and start her up again. No problems there, just a nagging issue. Nothing serious here.
2. Front end shutter under braking. This is my biggest annoyance with the car. The rotors were just resurfaced and it has pretty new brake pads, so I'm guessing another alignment is in order. I'll have dealer check this out when I take her in.
3. Steering column rattle. This turned up about 3 days ago, but it's pretty obvious. When taking the car over rough payment, the steering column makes a faint, but noticeable rattle sound. Just check out thread on Seville forum that pretty much explains my problem. I'll have the dealer lube the area first, but I'm sure that won't solve it. As long as the steering doesn't start to go screwy, I'll be fine with it.
So overall, a good first month for my Seville. There are a few little issues to work out, but nothing major. I adore my car and plan on taking her to 100k+ miles.
Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS
Took the car to the dealer today to get the oil changed and have them check the rattling noise and vibration during braking. The rear rotors were resurfaced at their expense (I only payed for labor! ) and are smooth as silk. Finally, I don't hate stopping anymore. According to my ticket, the rattle was solved by adjusting a cable - it didn't work. At first, I thought it was gone because the steering was tighter. Alas, when I took the car down a rough road it came back. However, it's not as high pitched. I'm not going to worry about it, I know is the intermediate shaft and bearing. I'll have the parts ordered and get them to fix it when I get the oil changed next time.
The car is doing great. Planning on getting a new passenger side headlight because the old one is foggy, and the drivers side has a brand new one. Looks terrible together.
Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS
The steering wheel gets louder when its cold outside.
I got to the point where I dreaded turning the wheel in the winter ... you coud hear the
groaning sound and feel the crappy feedback.
I can't say how long the needle and grease fix lasts, because I sold my car soon after having
the inexpensive lube repair.
Having said that, its amazing how much nicer the car felt driving down the road without the
steering wheel noise.
Definitely worth the effort.
Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS
Ryan: I agree with you on the interior to a small degree. I bought one of the newer V8 Northstar emblems to put over the radio on that plastic piece. Doesn't look so bad anymore. That was the only part of the interior I hated. I like the rest. I'm thinking about getting the STS emblem from the trunk of the new STS's and putting it over next to the rightmost AC vent on that woodgrain over there.
Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS
Well it's time for my monthly update, and the car continues to impress with its excellent powertrain, super smooth ride, and comfortable interior. Gas mileage is also quite good for such a large V8 car, about 17 in mixed situation (learning more on city driving). My only issue with the car this month is a massive trunk leak I discovered about a month ago. I came back from the beach and decided to vacuum out my dirty trunk, when I discovered my spare tire well was full of water. I initially vacuumed it out and thought it had been there for a couple of years; no big deal right? Well yesterday I notice a putrid smell coming from the trunk... and I open it up to reveal the area is full of water again, though this time it was nasty, dirty water that looks like it came from our river. I figured out that it must be coming between the license plate area and the plastic cover surrounding the inside of the trunk. I'm going to get it looked at next time i take the car in for an oil change; I'm also going to switch out my old headlight with a new one eventually, its starting to look really terrible.
Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS
Well the culprit of the great trunk leak mystery has been caught; turns out, the weatherstripping around the trunk lid did a really crappy job of keeping the water out. It was coming in near the trunk latch and dropping into the spare tire well. While I was at work today I asked my boss what he thought, and he said that was the best explanation. So they have the part ordered and it should be here tomorrow, and I'll get it replaced on Thursday when I head into work. They are also going to reseal near the taillights to make sure I don't have any future problems. I'm also having them look at my slightly rough idle, which I've thinking is the cracked plenum. They have that part in stock, so if that is the issue they are replacing that. Here are some pics of the really terrible looking seal on the ws:

Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS
mY 03 sts that I just bought has the same issue. I resealed around the entire weather strip with some 3M black weather strip adhesive and it has stopped about 98% of the water from coming in. I checked in my truck today as we had some very heavy rain over night and I noted a very small ( talking 1/2 a teaspoon) amount of water in the bottom of the trunk. I might just take it in to the dealer and get a new weather strip and have them seal it with some butyl rubber sealer.
Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS
I actually got it fixed at the dealer the other day. $70 installed... and so far no water is getting into the trunk. I might get the piece that goes along the rear window fixed too just for the hell of it.
I also had them check the rough idle, but they didn't find anything. I'm thinking its the intake plenum and I'll have them check it out the next time I change the oil.

Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS
Ok so it's that time of the month again... and no people my period doesn't come in until later on, so watch out for abnormal bitchiness. Anyways, no new problems have surfaced on my Seville this month. The trunk is now dry thanks to new weatherstripping, and everything is still running smoothly. I'm still having problems with my security light and that random noise from the speakers when I start the car... but it does it much more often when it's cold outside. I'm really beginning to narrow it down the ignition switch, but I'll cross that road when I get to it.
I let a friend of mine drive it down the road real quick, and when I asked him how he liked it, he said "It's really smooth, and has a lot more power than expected". Ha, that's what happens when you cross a luxury car with an obnoxious muscle car.
Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS
Ryan, is it possible that the noise you hear on colder mornings isn't coming
from the tiny square grille on the left side of your dash?
If so, then its a bad bearing in your asperator fan motor. That's the
tiny fan used with a temp probe to determine the ambient cabin temp
for your automatic climate control. Mine got to the point of being unbearable ... I simply stuffed some foam down the opening, careful
of the temp probe, and it stopped the buzzing noise.
How goes the steering shaft ... the lube procedure worked for me.
How is your ride ... smooth up to 80mph, or any shimmy?
One regret I had was that I couldn't hack my DIC to display actual temp readouts ... on my 97, that was an easy hack code and a welcome feature.
Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS
I don't think so, because when I turn the radio off upon hearing the noise it stops. The noise is also occurring when the "Service Theft System" shows up on my DIC, though sometimes it does not. The best solution right now is just turning the radio off when exiting the car.
I haven't actually noticed a ton of noise coming from the steering shaft... though I'm sure it's still an issue because the steering seems a little sloppy compared to a '04 SLS I was driving the other day. Until the noise starts to really bother me, I'll leave it as is.
I did forget to mention I have the shimmy. It starts at 66-67MPH and does it all the way up to 75MPH, though 72MPH is the sweet spot where it levels out. I'll get my dealer to balance the tires at my next oil change, and that should solve it.

Lynda de la Vina
UTSA names College of Business dean
(June 20, 2005)--Lynda de la Vina has been named dean and Peter Flawn Professor of Economics in the UTSA College of Business. She is the first woman and first Hispanic to serve as UTSA College of Business dean and the only female Hispanic business dean in the University of Texas System. She was named interim dean in September 2004.
"We are delighted that Lynda de la Vina has agreed to serve as dean of the College of Business," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "In the past year she has left an indelible mark on the San Antonio business community. Her passion and vision will help lead UTSA and the College of Business to national recognition."

In the past year, de la Vina developed a strategic plan for the College of Business that includes raising the academic profile of the college to become one of the nation's best business schools and creating national distinction through strategic threads of excellence. She has enhanced Latin American partnerships, raised funds for two endowed professorships and developed alliances with other nationally and internationally recognized institutions.
"My goals for the college are to receive AACSB reaffirmation, become a nationally ranked flexible format M.B.A. program and become the school of choice for graduate students from Mexico and Latin America," said de la Vina, who also directs the Center for Global Entrepreneurship in the College of Business.
De la Vina returned to San Antonio following six years on the East Coast. She served as associate dean of the Graduate Division of Business and Management and chair of the Department of Finance and International Business at Johns Hopkins University. She also worked as a senior policy advisor for the U.S. Mexico Foundation and the U.S. Mexico Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to her academic service, she was a presidential appointee to the U.S. Department of Treasury and served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy until 2001. Although her work portfolio was expansive dealing with domestic and international economic policy issues, she led Treasury teams on issues of personal commitment such as financial literacy, small business development and U.S.-Mexico border development.
Prior to her career in Washington, D.C., de la Vina served 19 years at UTSA in ascending positions of administrative responsibility. She began her career at UTSA in 1979 as assistant director of the Human Resources Management and Development Program. Following that, she joined the Department of Economics faculty in 1982 and was named executive director of the Institute for Studies in Business in 1985. She served as associate dean of graduate studies and research in the college from 1993 to 1998.
De la Vina received her master's and doctorate degrees in economics from Rice University and a bachelor's degree in government and economics from UT Pan American. She was the first Mexican-American woman to receive a Ph.D. in economics in the United States.
The UTSA College of Business is the largest undergraduate business program in the UT System and one of the 40 largest business schools in the nation. Accredited by AACSB International, The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the college offers a broad portfolio of programs at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels.

Does anyone have any names for possible OL that could be around in the 3rd round? Ive been doing some scounting on players but I am not familiar with many mid draft OL.
The way I would like our draft to go would be:
Round 1- CB Rhodes (Barring a top 10 doesnt fall to us like Ziggy)
Round 2- LB Greene
But only if we can get a chance at a quality OL player. OL is a huge need for us and needs to be addressed in the first 3 rounds. We cant risk waiting till round 4 or 5 this season.
TBH, I wouldnt mind both round 3 and 4 to be OL picks.

Myrne Jeanette Holmen
Myrne Jeanette Holmen
Myrne Jeanette Holmen, 77, of Crosslake, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, May 2, 2013.
Myrne was born Feb. 24, 1936, in Comfrey, Minn., to Paul and Ada (Cunningham) Current. Myrne graduated from Comfrey High School and married Arlen Holmen on Nov. 26, 1955, and they were married for 49 years before he went to be with the Lord on Nov. 24, 2004.
During those years Myrne was a housewife, mother to three children, grandmother, cook, secretary and camp mom. In 1989, upon Arlen's retirement, they moved to Crosslake where they became known to many in the area through the churches they served. Everyone who met Myrne was touched by her gentle yet playful spirit, unconditional love and kindness.
She is survived by children, Sherri, Julie and Mark (Maria); and granddaughter, Malyn. Her brothers, Richard, Don and Loren, preceded her in death.
Myrne had a special place in her heart to see that children who could not afford it could experience a week of Bible camp. A scholarship fund has been established where memorial gifts can be made in her name to First Lutheran Church, PO Box 21, Pine River, MN 56474.
A celebration of Myrne's life was at 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 7, 2013, at First Lutheran Church, Pine River. Visitation was one hour prior to the service.
Arrangements were by Kline Funeral Home, Pine River.

"Of all the wrong files to send, why that one?" she laments, and waits for the strike team to make an appearance at her door.)
Dear Agents of the Central Agency of Blackness — Maine Division:
While we applaud your part in elevating our Exalted Savior Lord Barack Hussein Obama to the Oval Office yet again, we must express our firmest displeasure with CAB agents outside Southern Maine who clearly failed to read the manual on remaining invisible to whites before going to vote illegally.
While your actions outside of the more colorful Southern Maine, along with similar efforts nationwide, helped steal the vote for Obama, it seems you were observed in action, in multiple locations, by wily and fleet-footed Maine GOP Chairman Charlie Webster. Did you think he wouldn't notice your melanin-enhanced asses in polling places? Or be taken seriously despite crying wolf on voter fraud in the past?
Yes, we at CAB were able to minimize the damage. After Webster commented on the hundreds and hundreds of you voting in those Maine communities in which you didn't reside, we wiped the memories of enough polling-place workers that he was forced to back down to "dozens and dozens" in his claims, and ultimately fail to provide any evidence at all. It was enough to discredit him and have his own Republican friends abandon him, but still, there is damage done.
Agent Jamal Washington Jr., you were supposed to bus your fake voters to other states before polls closed, not to other communities in Maine. We may all look alike to most white people, but not all of them.
Agent Harriet Tubman-Carter-Cash, smoke bombs are for distraction when you need to escape from the scene of a crime. In a voting booth, they attract attention. You are being sent to remedial ninja college immediately.
Agent Brian Spearman, when your operatives use our most important tool, the same-day voter registration those gullible Mainers allowed to continue, they are not to use it as a time for self-entertainment. People notice things like 666 Lucifer Way, 123 ABC Street, and 1,000,000 Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Agent Jackson, please stop tapping Hollywood connections so heavily. I can only assume you started celebratory drinking well before polls closed. Even Charlie Webster recognizes when people like Reverend Al Sharpton, Will Smith, Halle Berry, and Oprah Winfrey show up to vote in rural Maine. Also, next time you vote yourself, please refrain from shouting, "Damn right I voted for the Muslim communist fascist black man, muthafuckas!"
Side note: Quentin Tarantino, you are not black, no matter how many times you cast Agent Jackson. Please stop attempting to take part in our operations. We will not issue you a Race Card no matter how many times you apply.
The field manual of operations for CAB clearly states that when we attempt to infiltrate areas where it might be harder to blend in (especially in a state where barely over 1 percent of people are black), use only our most passable operatives. Please focus on light-skinned Blacks who can pass for Italians or tanning-salon addicts. Dark skin and foreign accents are not acceptable. This is why we keep a database of biracial folks to help you fly under the radar. Also, take a tip from operatives like Shay Stewart-Bouley and have a white spouse handy, to help blend in.

text: Hi everyone I am from Lexington, South Carolina and I am new to beekeeping and i just got my 4 hives March 31st. So far they are going great. I also have one question. After you remove the queen cage from the hive when is the next time you check your hive?


text:
The girls are really pigging out on the sugar water. I mix a 1.5:1 ratio of sugar to water and the bees really seem to be sucking it down fast. I have a grape jelly jar(2lb.) that I feed them out of and it is empty everyday when I get home from work. Anyone have an idea when they'll slow down with their feeding? A beekeeper in North Central Texas could probably help me better with letting me know when the plants start blossoming enough to be sufficient. Also, what does it mean when a bee is flying side to side in an erratic behaviour? I see some bees do this to me or in front of the hive from time to time. Thanks.

Altavista randomlink???
I'm seeing some strange happenings inside my honeypot logs. Several exploits/payloads are downloaders targetting the same URL, hxxp://www.altavista.com/image/randomlink, which from what I can tell does exactly what it says on the tin, and provides a 'random' page.
This has left me with two questions:
- Has anyone else seen the same?
- Exactly why would this be useful activity?
Best possibilities I can come up with is that this is potentially a test-run or demo, or potentially someone has dropped a new exploit script I've missed with some useless/demo shellcode and the skiddies haven't modified it to do anything useful.
Hopefully someone can stop my head from hurting.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I think the stickied videos at the top of this sub-forum are wonderfully helpful. SnoWolf's videos probably helped me the most. I find that it pays greatly to be as technical as possible and analyze your form very skeptically. The depth of snowboarding is addicting and highly entertaining. I just keep wanting to learn more and more.
Also, there are a few videos from SnowboardingAddicts.com that are helpful. I saw one on YouTube recently that was really helpful in describing how to set up the approach for 1's and 3's.
I hit my first jumps last week, and the rush you get is amazing!
Little jumps/bumps, newb question
There's no terrain park at my local hill, but as I was just cruising down I go into what we call the wind tunnel, where they build the half-pipe later on march for a competition, it's almost untouched and nice and I don't even notice theres a small bump that send me up, I land fine [this is only my second season, 7th time out ever] and I see right ahead there's a natural jump, and I say screw it, and take it. What a feeling! I felt like a real snowboarder and that second in the air was awesome. And I landed it. So I went again. This time I set myself up nice because I know where I'm going, and I pop my board, and amazing, again, what a feeling! Land, look back at my track and I really got nice distance over it!
The next couple runs I screw it up because I start over thinking it and slowing myself down so I don't hit the first small bump, which just messes everything up. The minute I started thinking I couldn't land it anymore, so I just shut my brain off after 2 failed tries, and just do it. And it works, not the great feeling as the first time because I held myself back. I wish I was young and fearless like I used to be, haha!
So after my ephiphany moment of how much I love that feeling of being in the air, I am going to start practising that. Go to the bigger hill that for a few days, hey have a terrain park there and also a beginners one. Any tips on getting started? Good videos I can watch. I don't think rails/boxes will interest me as much, mostly jumps, obviously tiny ones at first. But you never know, I didn't think I would love hitting jumps today so much. Can't wait to go back tomorrow

Isis - The Avenue
Isis, nee Isis Salam, is the vocal-half of powerhouse duo, Thunderheist. Over the past 2+ months, she's gradually been revealing details about her solo efforts, and this beast has been keeping a keen eye on the developments.
Earlier this morning, I did my usual stroll and scroll through my favorite pages and happened upon the cool cats over at Attorney Street. They had the good word (and song) on Isis' first solo song, and we ever-so-lovingly nicked it from them. Thanks dudes!
The Avenue is a driving force of neo-noir radness with Isis' vocals emulating all the best aspects of the mid-80's half singing-half speaking effects. It's strange how with but one song, I'm able to envision a whole album, tour and concept that the vivacious gal is going for.
Breath of fresh air, indeed!

Music Review: Frank Ocean's Channel Orange
Like every other critic and fan, it's hard not to love this album. The buzz of Frank Ocean's sexual orientation will eventually fade, but the excitement over Channel Orange will not.
"By the time I realized I was in love, it was malignant," explains Frank Ocean in his now-notorious letter, entitled "thank you's." Posted on his blog two weeks ago, a simple screencap of a one-off message in Notepad written on a plane home on December 27th, 2011 explains the passion and story behind his latest album, Channel Orange.
"Whoever you are, wherever you are…I'm starting to think we're a lot alike."
Since then, huge names in the music industry have come out of the woodwork to support Ocean's sexuality. Bisexual or gay, it's irrelevant. The rest of the story, which we can't piece together through the songs and blog post, is written between the lines of his sophomore album, Channel Orange, which dropped a week early online. The storytelling on this album stands out from every other R&B album that has come out this year. While Chris Brown chose to talk about his swag, Ocean's lyrical writing (Ocean cowrote the album with the likes of Pharrell and James Ho) is passionate, mesmerizing and heart-wrenching. For instance, the tracks "Pyramids" and "Lost," while one is about the collapse of Cleopatra and the other a pop song about a drugged-up girlfriend, are somehow married together by the power of sin, gluttony and having it all.
The songs do circulate around the ideas of wealth, sex and drugs, as many R&B songs do, but Ocean's reflections of authentic happiness and musings on what to do next when you're a mega-star alters how one reacts to the tracks. There are some songs on Channel Orange that have to be listened to with the entire album: "Fertilizer," a fake radio jingle wedged between the song "Thinkin Bout You" and "Sierra Leone," and the track "White," which features John Mayer, are two of them. Alone, it's difficult to understand why they would be included on the album, but when they're in the context of the rest of the tracks, the songs seem more whole.
Like every other critic and fan, it's hard not to love this album. The buzz of Frank Ocean's sexual orientation will eventually fade, but the excitement over Channel Orange will not.
Best Tracks: "Super Rich Kids," "Thinkin Bout You," "Crack Rock"
Skip These: "Pilot Jones," "Forrest Gump"

North Korea Conducts Third Nuclear Test, Upsets U.N.
Tiffany Kaiser
February 12, 2013 6:23 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: b.examiner.com)
Even its ally, China, is upset with the country
North Korea performed its third
nuclear test today
, saying that it was an act of self-defense against the United States.
According to North Korea's Foreign Ministry, today's test was the first response with maximum restraint.
"If the United States continues to come out with hostility and complicates the situation, we will be forced to take stronger, second and third responses in consecutive steps," North Korea's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
North Korea is one of the most sanctioned states for its previous nuclear tests, but after today, the U.S. and its allies plan on "augmenting" these sanctions.
"The danger posed by North Korea's threatening activities warrants further swift and credible action by the international community" said U.S. President Barack Obama. "The United States will also continue to take steps necessary to defend ourselves and our allies."
North Korea has said in the past that Washington's aim was to "
eliminate the political ideology and system our people have opted for."
According to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, today's nuclear test measured "approximately several kilotons" while the first North Korean nuclear test in 2006 was under 1 kiloton and the second in 2009 was about 2-7 kilotons.
At first glance, U.S. security officials said the test seemed to use a plutonium-based prototype weapon (as did the previous two tests, but this was the latest version). More samples would have to be collected with the United States' WC-135 Constant Phoenix aircraft to determine if uranium was used.
North Korea's actions today has drawn criticism from many member states of the United Nations. The U.S., Japan, Russia, South Korea and China are a few that have denounced the test and urged North Korea to talks. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe even said that this test was a "grave threat."
China is especially upset by the test, since it is a permanent member of the Security Council and North Korea's main economic and diplomatic ally. North Korea's defiance just goes to show that Beijing doesn't have the power or influence it thinks it has with the country.
In December 2012, North Korea also successfully
tested an intercontinental missile
, drawing more international criticism. Earlier in 2012, North Korea said
"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng referencing patent trolls

"Warmmer" places added emmphasis on the warmmth and awesommeness of an object by doubling the letter m. Doubling of the letter m in any word injects it with a secret "mm" as in "mm mm mm good". Something that makes you warmmer, thus, not only increases your heat but gives you that extra special kind of heat...the kind that makes you go "mmmmmmm"

Get Out! 5 Benefits of Outdoor Exercise
ACE Fit Share
September 10, 2012, 12:21PM
Is it possible to be both fit and fat? Reports from a recent study published in the European Heart Journal say the answer is yes. To gain knowledge on the role physical activity plays in the overall health of obese individuals, researchers assessed 43,265 adults between 1979 and 2003. Researchers used traditional body mass index (BMI) calculations to determine BMI, while body-fat percentage was measured by hydrostatic weighing or skinfold testing. Of those considered obese (with a BMI >30) according to BMI measurements, 5,649 (30.8%) were classified as metabolically healthy, while 12,829 (46.3%) of those considered obese based on body-fat percentage were deemed metabolically healthy.
Participants' fitness levels were assessed by a maximal exercise test on a treadmill, with researchers finding that metabolically healthy but obese participants had better fitness than metabolically abnormal obese participants, and also had a lower risk of all-cause mortality, non-fatal and fatal cardiovascular disease, and cancer mortality. Furthermore, they observed no significant differences between metabolically healthy obese participants and metabolically healthy normal-fat participants.
According to Lead author Dr. Francisco Ortega, "Our study suggests that metabolically healthy but obese people have a better fitness level than the rest of obese individuals. Based on the data that our group and others have collected over years, we believe that getting more exercise broadly and positively influences major body systems and organs and consequently contributes to make someone metabolically healthier, including obese people. In our study, we measure fitness, which is largely influenced by exercise."
"The complete picture of 'fitness' is much more than a number on the scale or a subjective image of what 'fit' looks like," explains ACE Exercise Physiologist Jessica Matthews. "At the end of the day, being physically active has a much greater purpose than solely improving physical appearance. Leading a physically active lifestyle increases one's level of fitness, which in turn also improves overall health (by decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, as found in this study, for example). Furthermore, being active enhances your ability to engage in the activities of everyday life that are so important to you, such as playing with your children or grandchildren, hiking and swimming while on vacation, or simply having the freedom to move throughout the day with ease."
It's important to keep in mind that, in terms of optimizing health and enhancing overall well-being, structured physical activity should be combined with a sensible diet (keeping the notion of moderation in mind) and the adoption of other healthy lifestyle habits (adequate sleep, increased movement throughout the day, etc.) that will enable you to lead your most fit life.

Governor asks legislature to consider gun law changes
January marks start of 2013 session
DENVER - Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said Thursday that "the time is right" for state lawmakers to consider gun control measures, offering his firmest stance in the aftermath of several high-profile shootings, including a movie theater rampage in suburban Denver, that have shocked the nation.
The Democratic governor had until now resisted calls to review state gun laws. He upset some in his party when he said last summer that stricter laws would not have prevented the Aurora rampage.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Hickenlooper said that the legislative session in January would be an appropriate time to take up a debate on gun control measures, though he didn't call for specific legislation.
Former graduate student James Holmes is charged with killing 12 people and wounding 70 others in the July shootings.
Outside one Colorado Springs movie theater, voter Sue'ana Romero applauded the governor's remarks.
When I go into a movie theater, I think it's a safe environment," said Romero. "If someone came in with a gun, I'd freak out. And then kids can get ahold of guns, too, and use them for all the wrong reasons. And that also causes school shootings."
Opponents of gun control laws said such laws don't stop people intent on breaking those laws.
"Don't react politically, don't react emotionally," said Amy Lathen, chairwoman of the El Paso County Board of Commissioners. "Let's look at this from the science of it, the statistics of it, the truth of it, and let's make sure we're not hurting law-abiding citizens."
Robert Holmes owns the Whistling Pines Gun Club just east of the city. He said he's sensitive to public concern about gun violence.
"(James Holmes) has the same last name I do," he said. "But (changes in law) would be a pure waste of the legislature's time."
Robert Holmes said ethics might be more effective in stopping violent shootings.
"A lot of the shootings are copycats," he said. "Don't tell who the (shooter) is. Don't make this guy a media hero. And for God's sake, don't make other people think this is their one chance to get 15 seconds of fame, to go into a mall in Oregon and shoot somebody."
Former Republican Rep. Mark Barker of Colorado Springs believes the legislature will discuss gun control because Democrats are the majority at the state capitol.
"I doubt the governor would have made those comments without talking with Democrats about it first," said Barker.

Round 1: Barkevious Mingo (LB/DE)
Explosive athlete who would be a pass rusher and play some SAM on early downs. Has experience playing versus the option which would help us since we will be seeing it a lot. Gives the LB core a playmaker while primarily upgrading our pass rush. I think the Saints go in a different direction and I think the steelers have a choice of Jarvis Jones and Mingo. Ultimately I believe the Steelers choose Jones and Mingo falls right into our laps. Mingo is one of the few guys I can see developing into a star from this draft and with our coaching staff I think he reaches that ceiling and becomes a 10+ sack guy in the future.
Round 2: Arthur Brown (LB)
He will be a MLB in the NFL if he can stay at 240lbs but could play any LB position and should be an immediate starter over a journeyman type Dan Connor. Amazing athlete, good at stacking and shedding, good in coverage, all around solid player. I have him "falling" a bit in this mock due to being a non pass rushing linebacker and his size. I also saw a few mocks that have him going to Chicago right after our pick in round 2. I don't think he'd get past the giants in that case.
Was really tempted to put Larry Warford in this spot but I think the depth at guard is better than MLB.
Round 3: Baccari Rambo (S)
with Stevie Brown on a one year tender and Rolles huge contract (which could be cut next year) Saftey is a bigger need then it is perceived to be. Rambo would have a year to develop and would provide some depth his rookie year. It would allow Rolles contract to be cut the following year, opening up some more cap space in a year where we are project to have a decent amount of room already. I wanted to take a CB or OL here but don't see anyone with enough value.
If Travis Frederick C/G was here maybe that's the direction I'd go.
Round 4: Chris Faulk (OT)
Competition with Brewer for the RT job. Great size for the position.
Round 5: Oday Aboushi (OT/G)
I see him moving to G in the NFL because he's not an "elite" athlete but could possibly play RT as depth in case of injury. The value would be really good at this point in the draft.
After making this, I'd probably like to see OL drafted in the top 3 rounds. I'd really love to trade back in the first if Mingo, Rhodes, Ansah are not there and get an extra pick to draft some OL early.

Pase Rock - Nights (new single/video/remixes!)
Directed by Pase Rock and YONE, the aforementioned's video for new single, Nights, is a wild ride through nightclubbery, autotune we don't hate, and general shenanigans that we wish we were partaking in at this very moment. Current status? Daydreaming about what this night will hold. Thanks buddy.
It's been a hot minute since last hearing from the dude, so it only makes sense that he comes back in fine fashion with this track, a cover of the "he's so cool he could be Rock's dad" legend that is Billy Ocean, with his original tune, Nights (Feel Like Getting Down). Of course Pase keeps the funky but ups the nasty with his take on the track, his own original as produced by XXXChange.
So here's the treats. We've got tracks and the vid to share.
Visuals up first. Audio next. See it, hear it, love it.

Well that makes sense. Obviously a show about a family building and selling guns causes mass shootings. Just like the show COPS makes people go commit crimes and the show UFO Hunters causes mass alien invasions. It makes perfect sense. Way to go America.

The notorious Phil Varone tape is a video footage of Phil Varone and his girlfriends while having sex. It was made when the groupies were, backstage on various tours. During one of the days they were there, the two got bored and decided to make themselves a sex tape, supposedly for their own consumption.
Phil Varrone, Jr. He is the son of a gospel singer (how ironic) and the brother of then more famous sister, Brandy. Ray J was a child actor and also an R&B singer. He is also a successful record producer Varone began playing in various local bands. In 1988, he joined together with some of his friends and formed Saigon Kick. as well as a Billboard top 10 single for the song, "Love is On the Way". In 1996, Saigon Kick disbanded and Varone stayed busy producing and doing POV sex tapes with groupies.
In 2000, Varone joined multi-platinum recording artists Skid Row and continued making sex tapes with groupies and had sex with thousands of women. In April 2009, Varone participated in Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew, a VH1 spinoff of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew that features celebrities being rehabilitated for sex addiction. In the first episode, Varone revealed that his sex addiction worsened after his mother died from a cerebral aneurysm in 1998.
Phil Varone whose real name is Phillip Varrone III is the son his parents.
Three years after making the tape, it suddenly was leaked on the Internet and the lives of the two were shook. Although surprised (?), the two cannot deny that they received tremendous benefits from the release of the sex tape.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!

I believe UFOs are like scraps, ferns and dust bunnies. Once you get two, they send spores out into the air and more just happen anywhere the spores meet.
Thanks I appreciate the feed back
I can do all things through Jesus Christ which strengthens me.....He is my Rock!
czpainter I really love your colors (um, lack of colors?) the shades you picked look so good together.
Rose, I love the scrappy quilt star too, I think it would be fun to make all the blocks scrappy. I have no stash so that doesn't work for me.
Nelda and Linda those are good tips. I left the Paper Piece pattern attached to the first block I made so I could use it as a reference for where future colors go if I liked that pattern. (The green one I posted that shall remain solo.) Glad your thumb is better already Linda!
I'm using paper piecing paper now, it can stay in the quilt as a stabilizer and I may just leave it in since I will probably not wash the fabric again.
Enjoying life to the fullest is learning to quilt and riding my motorcycle.
Sparkling Lake, what three pieces are you talking about? I did mine paperpiecing, actually, I'm still doing it and I can't think of anything that comes in threes. There are four units which go together to make one block. Each unit is made up of 4 subunits which each have two pieces.
If you can post pictures we might be able to catch what you're doing.
It's good to have you here.
Who's in charge of the February block? How about a teaser hint?
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway.

ESPN's Digger Phelps diagnosed with bladder cancer
BRISTOL, Conn.
ESPN says former Notre Dame coach Digger Phelps has been diagnosed with bladder cancer.
The network said Thursday that Phelps has had surgery and will start follow-up treatment next week near his home in South Bend, Ind.
The 71-year-old Phelps has been a college basketball analyst for ESPN since 1993 and says he's preparing for next season. He went 393-197 in 20 seasons coaching the Fighting Irish.

Correct me if I am wrong, but she keeps smiling through all the mistakes.
Correct me if I am wrong, but she keeps smiling through all the mistakes.
(Replying to posts 297. 299 and 300). What I was startled about was the base values for the two jump layouts. We can see where the skaters gained or lost points on GOEs, etc., but I was mainly curious about the CoP scale of values. (By the way, again just talking base value, Kostner's one mistake on the triple Loop lost her more points (5.06) in base value than Csiney's two -- the < on the flip and the missed 3T sequence together (4.40))
The way the programs were planned, Alissa's base value was (I think ) 39.58 and Kostner's 37.31. Despite all the backloading, Kostner's second-half bonuses amounted to only one point over Czisny's (2.42 versus 1.48, again talking about error-free executions of both programs.)
So it really comes down to, you can score a lot of points without doing the hardest jumps.
As to the two actual performances, I think both skaters did what they could. Carolina could not do the harder toe jumps because of injury. Alissa's flip is always iffy and she is lucky to land her last 3T at all, much less tack on the required 2T. Alissa does not really have the luxury of putting a lot of hard jumps at the end, lest her program fall apart completely.
So I thought they both put out programs that minimized their weaknesses, and gave themselves the best possible chance to win.
Carolina singling a triple was a serious point loser. A single is worth practically nothing. Alissa's UR cost 30% of the triple's base value and the repeated jump cost 20% of a triple. Discounted triples are still worth a lot more than any single.
For similar reasons, Patrick Chan was able to get significant points on fallen quads while popped jumps cost skaters who stay on their feet a lot more.
It's all relative. If you do lesser jumps really really well (+GOEs) while another skater does the harder jumps really badly (-GOEs), you still have a chance, depending on PCS.So it really comes down to, you can score a lot of points without doing the hardest jumps.
It sounds easy theoratically to backload the jumps but it's very hard to do them well. You need stamina and also mental strength to overcome whatever may have happened earlier in the program. There are reasons bonuses are awarded for late jumps. Get them if you can.
Mathman, I think Czisny's error free base value would have been 0ver 51.54. This is with still the Zayak mistake (20% off the 2nd 3T) because I don't know what she had actually planned in place of the 3T. Carolina's might have been 52.42 except I don't think she would be allowed 2 3Lo+2T combos so I have no idea what she would have replaced one of the 3Lo+2T with.

Well, SHOULD a singled (or doubled) jump be penalized more heavily than a fall??
Last edited by Violet Bliss; 12-18-2010 at 09:00 PM.
In my calculation of base values, I mean just for the seven jumping passes.
I think Alissa's last jumping pass is supposed to be 3T+2T. If I am not mistaken she tried a 3T-3T there in pre-season competitions last year (unsuccessfully). In any case, i don't think her team deliberately choreographeed a Zayak violation -- they could have put in a double Axel there instead if she didn't intend a combo.
And whoever asked about the 3Lo+2T, yes Carolina can do 2 of those, it isn't negated by anything.

US Representative Tom Allen doesn't want to debate his primary opponent in the race for the Democratic nomination for the US Senate. According to his campaign office, Allen has better things to do. Such as ... er ... well, let's face it, as far as Allen is concerned, ignoring his opponent is a better thing to do.
Perhaps you didn't even know Allen has a challenger in his bid to take on Republican US Senator Susan Collins in November. But he does, and his — or, possibly, her — name is ... uh ... Somebody You've Never Heard Of.
Here's what's known about this person: He or she is probably a human being. Who lives somewhere in Maine. And, presumably, is old enough to run for the US Senate. Oh, and he or she wants to debate. I think I recall seeing a news story about him or her making outraged statements concerning Allen's refusal to schedule a time for the two of them to mix it up. A campaign staffer for Allen shrugged off that outrage by pointing out that an important guy like the congressman has tons of official duties in Washington and couldn't possibly find time to debate until late June.
A couple of weeks after the primary.
I know I should feel more strongly about Allen's calculated indifference to giving his opponent a little free face time with the voters, but I'm having some difficulty working up the appropriate load of moral indignation. Because the truth is:
I hate debates.
They're rarely informative. They're never entertaining. They're always rigidly formatted, to avoid any hint of spontaneity. And they're hosted by a Distinguished Journalist, by which I mean somebody who appears to have had a long and not particularly well-sanded stick inserted in a bodily orifice that's not normally used for stick storage.
Columnist Russell Baker once compared debates to pro-wresting matches, in which the contestants "howl and bay at each other with a ridiculous lack of conviction ... designed to gull the rubes."
What I'd like to see is less of that and more of the political equivalent of mixed martial arts. Put Allen and Whoever He's Running Against — I think that's the name that'll appear on the ballot — in a cage. No moderator. No time limit. No politeness. No rules. Well, I suppose there could be some limitations on eye gouging, groin kicking, and waterboarding. But the point is to let them say whatever they want. Including calling into question each other's ancestry, morality, and virility.
Might be informative. Even if it wasn't, it would almost certainly be fun.
And how often does the word "fun" describe an event involving Tom Allen?
Above it all
The award for lamest excuse thus far in the 2008 election cycle goes to Willy Ritch, communications director for Chellie Pingree's 1st Congressional District campaign.
Pingree, one of six candidates in the Democratic primary, has accepted money — a lot of money — from S. Donald Sussman and his associates at Paloma Partners, a hedge fund based in the Virgin Islands. Total contributions by Sussman and his pals have so far exceeded $100,000, nearly 10 percent of all the cash Pingree has collected. That's not counting the still-growing sum the Sussman consortium is handing out in soft money to political-action committees supportive of Pingree's candidacy, a total that — if previous elections are any indication — could amount to over $300,000.

Ignasi Miquel says Arsenal cannot afford to make any defensive mistakes during Sunday's FA Cup Fourth-Round tie against Aston Villa.
The Spanish defender is confident the Gunners have the quality to progress but, with Darren Bent back in form for the visitors, he expects a major battle at Emirates Stadium.
"We know that with the FA Cup it is only one game, so you can't make any mistakes. You have to make sure you are ready for anything that happens, but still go out there and try to win the game," Miquel told Arsenal.com.
"We played them a month ago [in the league] and only scored the winner in the 87th minute, so it will be tough. We are at home, we have our supporters there but we know we will have to work for victory.
"They have a very good striker in Darren Bent and two quick wingers in Marc Albrighton and Charles N'Zogbia. They are dangerous and they can make things happen.
"We need to stay focused and make sure we don't make any mistakes at the back. If we do that then we have a big chance to win."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Accreditation disputes at center of US arrests
The issue of press accreditation continues to reverberate. In November, when the Occupy movement came into conflict with law enforcement across the country and at least 20 journalists covering the events were arrested, CPJ reported that disputes over press accreditation were at the center of many of those arrests. Last week, credentials played a role in the arrests of journalists not only at tumultuous Occupy demonstrations in Oakland but also inside the more hushed chambers of Capitol Hill.

There are thousands of great webcomics thriving on the Internet, but for fans like Benedict Jones who follow a lot of them, keeping track of new content and discovering new serials is difficult. "There are really no good tools for organizing them," says Jones. "You either add them to an RSS feed, through which no content is directly pushed, or just keep a massive list of bookmarked websites."
This realization prompted Jones and fellow Indiana designer Justin Salsburey to start filling the gap. The pair's Kickstarter campaign — Inkd — is aimed at improving the tools for both publishing and consuming webcomics. With Inkd, Jones and Salsburey hope to provide a digital version of the newspaper comics experience, when you could pick up a section of the paper to find Calvin & Hobbes, FoxTrot and The Far Side all in one place.
With just a few days remaining, Inkd could use help from the geek community. Continue Reading "Inkd Gives Webcomics Their Own Platform" »

This is all besides the point. At a skating competition, the audience is told not to distract the skater during the performance, not to use flash photography, etc. We don't know the motivation or the identity of the person who was rinkside making gestures, but he was right by the rink where Yuna was skating and he was making a gesture that would draw attention to himself. Completely inappropriate.
He most certainly was not cheering her on.
As for drawing attention to himself and thus not having respect for Yuna, that's possible. He may have seen the camera and wanted to garner some attention. That's definitely more likely than him trying to curse her on screen in the middle of her performance.
Coaches have been known to flamboyantly jump and scream when skaters land jumps in that very area
If you admit you don't know the motivation of that person, I don't believe you have any evidence to conclude he was NOT cheering her on. You're entitled to your opinion, but it's just that.
I don't agree that it was a "macabre plot", but I do think for as many examples you come up with this sign being used in a positive way elsewhere in the world, it's not going to change that for some, this sign--and the context in which it was used here--is not seen as a positive gesture. And I think that's a valid point of view.
Coaches cheering on and supporting their skaters is fine. When Tomas Verner was bombing at 2013 Worlds, his coach rinkside was nearby shouting, "Come on, Tommy!" But that's not what happened here. The person in question is not Yuna's coach.
I don't know what skating competitions you've been to, but screaming/yelling, waving of "big things", usually occurs when the skater is announced and when the skater has finished. Applause happens during the performance when the audience appreciates a skater's execution of some element (jumps, footwork, spins). There usually is some kind of reaction after a skater makes a mistake--gasp, sympathy applause, etc.There is plenty of screaming, yelling, applause, waiving of things - BIG things - and gestures AND photography of all kinds going on, routinely, at every single skating competition - all of it arguably distracting to skaters. It's not an exceptional occurrence, it's completely routine.
The above actions you list don't all happen throughout a skater's performance. And arena announcers do ask the audience not to use flash photography, not to throw unwrapped flowers on the ice, etc. For the most part, the audience does obey these rules. They typically do NOT behave in a way that would endanger or distract the skater during the performance. That's a perfectly reasonable expectation of the audience. Those rinkside should be held to the same and even higher standard.
You think it can't be concluded that he wasn't cheering her on? I think we're done here.If you admit you don't know the motivation of that person, I don't believe you have any evidence to conclude he was NOT cheering her on. You're entitled to your opinion, but it's just that.
