Miners to Usher in 2013 With Powerful Colorado State
Dec. 31, 2012
UTEP-Colorado State Game Notes (PDF)
A UTEP basketball team that has been home for the last five weeks will play only its second road game of the season on Wednesday. The Miners (6-5), winners of five of their last six games, will take on a red-hot Colorado State squad at 8 p.m. MT in Fort Collins.
The Last Meeting
December 28, 2011
Don Haskins Center
The Rams (11-2) ran their winning streak to five games with an 80-55 rout of Adams State on Saturday. Colorado State is 7-0 at home - with an average margin of victory of 20.9 points - and has reeled off 20 consecutive wins at Moby Arena.
This Colorado State team looks a lot like last year's 20-12 club that won at UTEP (56-53) and played in the NCAA Tournament. The top four scorers return. The Rams have also added a trio of impact transfers in 6-10 forward/center Colton Iverson (Minnesota), 6-4 guard Daniel Bejarano (Arizona) and 6-4 guard Jon Octeus (Wabash Valley College). Iverson leads the team in scoring (14.5 ppg) and ranks second in rebounding (8.9 rpg). Bejarano and Octeus are contributing 6.6 ppg and 4.5 ppg respectively off the bench.
Mainstays Dorian Green (12.9 ppg), Greg Smith (12.0 ppg), Pierce Hornung (10.2 ppg) and Wes Eikmeier (9.9 ppg) have combined to average 45 points per game. The Rams' top five scorers are all seniors.
The biggest difference between last year's Colorado State team and this year's is the man on the bench. Larry Eustachy took over after Tim Miles left for Nebraska and instilled the staples that UTEP fans came to expect from his Southern Miss teams - defense, rebounding and toughness. The Rams lead the nation in rebound margin (+14.2 ppg) and are holding opponents to a .387 field goal percentage and 59.3 points per game.
"They're the same team they were a year ago. They shoot the ball very well," said UTEP assistant coach Phil Johnson. "They have added Colton Iverson, which changes their team for the bigger. They're one of the best rebounding teams in the country, which has been our downfall. They're +15 on the boards this year and that is coach Eustachy's emphasis. His teams always rebound well. Iverson has been a real presence for them and Hornung has come out of nowhere to average almost 11 rebounds per game."
UTEP has been a much-improved team since adding Konner Tucker and McKenzie Moore for the UNLV game on Dec. 17. In the first seven games of the season, the Miners averaged 56.7 points, making 43.5 percent (141-of-324) of their shots and 30.6 percent (22-of-72) of their three-point attempts. In four games since, UTEP has averaged 75.5 ppg with a .493 (103-of-209) field goal percentage and .426 (26-of-61) three-point field goal percentage.
UTEP has averaged 37.0 rebounds in the last four games, compared to 25.6 in the first seven games. The Miners have outrebounded back-to-back opponents (Arkansas-Pine Bluff & Nebraska) for the first time this season after getting outboarded in each of the previous eight contests.
The Miners shot 54.8 percent (17-for-31) from three-point range over the last two games. UTEP has risen from 12th in C-USA in three-point field goal percentage (.304) to fourth (.361) in the process. The Miners have also improved from ninth in C-USA in field goal percentage (.435) to fourth (.458) in the last four games.
This is the 72nd meeting between UTEP and Colorado State, with the Miners leading the series 46-25. Colorado State has won the last six games in the series and leads the ledger 18-15 at Fort Collins.
UTEP has lost on its last five trips to Fort Collins dating back to an 86-68 triumph on Feb. 29, 1992. Colorado State has won nine of the last 10 games between the rivals at Moby Arena. This is the first matchup between the schools in Fort Collins since Jan. 10, 1998, an 80-67 Ram victory.

Export commodity prices continued to recover last month, the ANZ commodity price index firming 1 per cent in its fifth consecutive monthly rise.
But while the index is now 7.5 per cent above its low in July last year in world price terms, the strong exchange rate has limited the rebound to 4 per cent in New Zealand dollar terms.
Last month, the firmer dollar entirely offset the gains in world prices and in New Zealand dollar terms the ANZ index eased 0.1 per cent.
Dairy products, which make up 43 per cent of the index, are at a nine-month high. Skim milk powder, butter and cheese prices all rose 1 per cent last month, but whole milk powder eased 1 per cent.
Aluminium prices rose 7 per cent to a nine-month high. Trade data from Statistics NZ yesterday recorded a 16 per cent or $200 million drop in aluminium exports in the year to November, compared with the year before.
The meat industry continued to enjoy mixed fortunes, with beef prices up 3 per cent to an all-time high, while lamb prices slipped 1 per cent to a 32-month low. Wood pulp and sawn timber prices rose 1 per cent, but logs slipped 0.5 per cent.

As I See It: Race
In my last column I touched very briefly on racism as evidenced in the death of Trayvon Martin and the reaction to the acquittal of George Zimmerman. Events since that time have only deepened my conclusion that most race issues will never be solved — at least in my lifetime.
I know that sounds pretty brutal, but the truth is often hard to swallow in our "why can't we all get along?" world.
One of the first issues we must come to grips with is how we individually or collectively view events. When the tragic incident first occurred, many media sources were quick to report on the racial aspect of it without any rational analysis of the facts.
Indeed, it was the person who received the 911 call who made the first mention of race, and yet one of the major television channels made it sound as though George Zimmerman actively displayed a racial motivation!
In my last column, I wrote about the steps in problem solving. The first step is to define the problem — accurately. In the case of race issues, the problem itself is multi-faceted. On the surface it is cultural. However, there is a deep economic aspect of this problem and also many accompanying social issues, including education.
And to further muddy the water, racism is virtually treated solely as a white versus black racial problem. Ask yourself what Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would do for a living if blacks and whites started getting along. You can also ask yourself what they do for a living anyway. The real starting point has to be on a two-way street.
Our nation has struggled and is struggling with civil rights and great progress has been made. Trillions of dollars have been expended on welfare, social and civil rights programs. Some of it has had positive effects, but money alone will not solve cultural and societal problems. I suppose uneducated, unemployable people with more money is to many a positive thing, but it ignores the fact that they are still uneducated and unemployable.
If you examine the animal kingdom, virtually all higher species learn their behavior from the parents. Hunting, grooming, finding and preparing a place to live, breed and establishing your territory are mostly learned and partially innate behaviors. Over the past 50-60 years forces have actively worked hard to destroy the nuclear family under the guise of progressivism, relativism, feminism and many other isms that we manage to invent.
Those forces have been very successful in destroying the influence and authority of parents over their children — to the detriment of the entire society.
So how do you fix cultural societal problems when you don't have two parents on hand to nurture and train the children? I don't believe you really can because so much must be done in the first three to five years that sets the stage for the rest of a person's life.
Absent that, you can load up the school system with a lot of behavioral modification education programs like nutrition, personal hygiene, anti-bullying, gender neutrality, hostility to Christianity under the guise of religious tolerance, racial tolerance and others while taking time away from less valuable subjects like English, history, science, math, philosophy and so on. And education must not be that important if we allow children to drop out of high school when they feel like it.
If you remember your homework assignment from my last column, you were supposed to think about the nation's public education system in light of my discussion on the influence of the press, politicians, unions and other special interests and then figure out how we are going to prosper as a nation in the next 100 years.
In my opinion, trying to do the myriad social and cultural tasks of the nurturing family with the public education system is sheer folly. Is it any wonder we are falling behind the rest of the world in producing scientists and mathematicians?
But let's get back to racism. The education system can't fix it. The special interests can't fix it, either. Neither can the press or the politicians. We, the people themselves, have to fix it ourselves — both the black and the white. Each of us owes the other a measure of respect that comes with being human beings.
If we don't show that measure of respect for others, the fabric of society will break down. We aren't wolves, foxes, hawks or eagles that prey on others — at least most of us are not.
While most of us believe in mutual respect, we don't always put that belief into action. If some people choose to disrespect the traditions, cultural mores and behavior of others — especially those in the majority — conflict is inevitable. We once had the concept of the "melting pot" in which our ancestors all became Americans. Someone cleverly changed that to the concept of the "salad" wherein all the ingredients maintained their identity while still being part of the salad.
And, thus, some of us became hyphenated Americans.
Sometimes I'm surprised we don't have more conflict than what we do. If we could get the press, the politicians and other special interests out of the way we could probably fix the rest on our own.
And for the record, I don't like salads very much.
And that's the way I see it.

Author Gwen Cooper traveled to animal shelters and rescue groups from May through September, donating supplies and talking to people about her new book, Love Saves the Day. She plans to finish the tour by December, and by then will have donated more than $40,000 worth of products to shelters and raised $5,000 more to help them. The book came out in paperback this week. Through Sunday, Cooper is donating money from paperback sales to Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary in memory of her cat Homer. TFK Kid Reporter Abhinav Piplani caught up with the author in Atlanta, Georgia.
Your books show that animals can play a big role in people's lives. But how do you help animals in different ways?
A big part of what I do is things like this tour that I'm on right now, which is a tour of animal shelters instead of bookstores. And a lot of what I do is letting people know of rescue organizations, the work that they do, the kinds of animals that they work with. Also because my last book was about my cat Homer, who is blind, there is a lot of work that I do with special and disabled animals; cats and dogs who are different and who are sometimes considered unadoptable because they're different. A lot of the work that I do is just getting the information out there.
Is there a reason that you care so much about animals?
Ever since I was a little girl I had a passion for two things—books and animals. People always ask me "why do you care so much about animals?" and I always want to ask them "why don't you care so much about animals?" It was never really a decision that I made, it's just the way I've always been. But really I don't like to see anyone to suffer whether it's a person or an animal so I think that's really a big part of it. Whether we walk on two legs or four, suffering is suffering.
Your latest book Love Saves the Day is written for adults, but is there a message for kids in there?
I think so, certainly about learning to appreciate your parents. It is the story of a mother and a grown daughter who have a very difficult relationship. And a big part of what the daughter has to learn over the course of the book is to see things from her mother's perspective which, I think, is one of the hardest things for a kid to understand. That's something you definitely learn as you get older. And one of the key parts of the book is how the mother and daughter learn to better understand each other.
Was there a specific inspiration for the book?
I decided to write the book when my publisher, Random House, came to me and said, it would be interesting if you could write a novel from a cat's perspective. And when you are a writer and Random House asks you to write a book, you write it. The cat, Prudence, who tells the story in the book, is based very closely on my cat Scarlett. And anyone who has read Homer's Odyssey, which is my previous book will see a lot of Prudence in the book, so she was a lot of the inspiration for what I was writing.
What pets do you have and what do you like most about them?
Right now I have three cats: Homer, who is a blind cat and is the star of Homer's Odyssey, and last year we adopted two kittens, Clayton and Fanny, Clayton only has three legs, and we say that when a three legged cat and a blind cat get in a fight it is the world's saddest catfight. But they don't fight. And then we have Fanny. It is really hard to pick my favorite thing about them; I mean Homer has been such a big part of my life for such a long time that I can't even imagine my life without him. And the kittens are just so sweet and friendly and high energy, very entertaining, but we don't think that they are very smart. They are not the sharpest tools in the shed.
What can kids do to help out animals in their community?
There are a lot of shelters and rescue organizations like Good Mews animal shelter in Atlanta that have different programs for kids. Actually a lot of shelters were founded specifically by parents and children together, so there is a lot of work children can do in terms of volunteering. You can also help fundraising and also letting other people know about shelters and recue organizations in their community. Sharing using social media if you have it, also to find different shelters that you like and find out what you can do to help.
As a writer what writing advice would you give to kids who like to write?
It has to be something that you are really committed to working very hard on for a very long time. I always say that the best advice to give a writer is to be dissatisfied, and by that I mean you should always be thinking that your writing can be better; that you can be telling better stories; that you could be doing a better job. You should never love anything so much that there is no room for improvement. Even if everybody tells you that it is amazing and that there is nothing that you can do to make it better, there should always be a part of you that wants to work hard and make it better. So whether you are an adult or kid that is the advice I would give.
Is there anything that you would like to add?
Just to keep reading. I love talking to people of all ages who love to read.

text: Maybe too many substitions on DL. JPP should stay at Right End where he excelled last year during OSI's absence until he really needs a rest. KIWI seemed effective lining up at DT and could be used in a "hybrid" 3-4 either playing DT drop back as an inside linebacker; we have solme depth at outside linebacker. If Tuck isn't getting penetration he could also play more DT and let OSI and the rookie DE's who looked good in pre-season get a shot.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Lightheart Gear duo vs Six Moon Design Lunar Duo
Jun 12, 2012 at 3:57 am #1290950
I've read tons of good things about the SMD Lunar Duo. An alternative which is nominally lighter and larger inside is the Lightheart Gear Duo. The Lunar Duo has a vent at the top to help control condensation–which is apparently an issue for both of these tents. Most of the reviews of the LHG Duo are positive except this one:
How serious are the condensation and rain-water sag issues for these tents?
rhzJun 12, 2012 at 6:44 am #1886180
Kevin BabioneBPL Member
@kbabioneLocale: Pennsylvania
I have the Lunar Duo and love it. It does tend to sag a bit if it rains but it's never been an issue for me. I make my trekking poles about 4 inches longer than they need to be when I initially set up the tent. I then put the tent up with the poles at an angle (leaning in towards the tent). If it rains and the tent begins to sag a little I simply unzip each door and pull the trekking pole in a bit and the tent is instantly taut again. I've only ever had to do it once per rainstorm.
Condensation, especially in rainy conditions, is a bit of a problem. I tend to pitch the Lunar Duo as high as I'm able to maximize the ventilation coming through. It hasn't prevented condensation, but it helps.Jun 12, 2012 at 7:56 am #1886197
Jacob DBPL Member
@jacobdLocale: North Bay
^ What Kevin said. This is the easiest way adjust for (any kind of) sag. Although I usually only make my poles a couple inches longer than needed.
The Lunar Duo does have a rather large sail-like face at either end… lots of material there. It's sort of a trade off for the massive amount of room it offers.
You probably don't need yet another review, but here is direct comparison I posted about a year ago: http://hikeitlikeit.com/2011/tale-of-three-duos/Jun 12, 2012 at 8:52 am #1886210
Kevin–thanks for the tip. That's a great idea. BTW: Do you recall how long you need to make the poles? I have a pair of helinox 135cm poles. I hope they're long enough.
Jacob–yes, I did see your review. Would you know whether the condensation and sag problems are more prevalent in the Lightheart or the SMD? I'll need a tent big enough to accommodate two large neoair mattresses (2*25in = 50in wide), so I think the DR is out (although I seem to remember they're being some way in which you can expand the width). I was attracted to the low weight of the Lightheart. I presume both tents should be used with their tyvek ground sheets. So, I'm tempted to go with the Lightheart, but I'm wondering whether the absence of a vent up top makes the condensation issue worse. Also, is the link to negative review I found consistent at all with what you'd expect from the Lightheart?
rhzJun 12, 2012 at 9:34 am #1886228
Kevin BabioneBPL Member
@kbabioneLocale: Pennsylvania
Sorry – I don't know how long I make the poles…It varies with conditions:
– If it's rainy & windy I'm likely to pitch the tent a little closer to the ground and count on the wind to enhance ventilation
– If it's just rainy but little wind (or little chance of rain) I'll be pitching it as high as possible to maximize ventilation
I use adjustable trekking poles so it's not a big deal to tweak the height of the Lunar Duo according to conditions. That flexibility is one of the things I really like about using trekking poles rather than fixed-length poles sold by SMD.Jun 12, 2012 at 10:04 am #1886236

@cary75Locale: NW
I have the Duo and I love it. Sagging in the rain is just something that all tents made with silnylon do. I can say for sure that I'd rather be in this than my Tarptent in the rain. The silnylon is much more resistant to rain misting through. Silnylon tents do require re-staking in the rain. This tent has a fabulous bathtub floor. That said, if I had tons of money, I'd love to get a fully double walled tent for using in the rain. But, I feel that this tent does fine for the occasional sprinkle. People who are willing to use silnylon tents in the rain have to expect that they will need to restake in the rain, and or adjust tent height, and keep a towel handy for mopping up condensation. Everything has pros and cons.

I don't own one, but did 'play' with one last year. It is absolutely PALATIAL. If you need the room, there is only one choice – the 6 Moons Duo.Jun 12, 2012 at 10:54 am #1886250

I also use the Lunar Duo and cannot stress enough how big it is inside. I will take it along with my two daughters (7 and 11 yo) and it fits the three of us comfortably if a bit cozy. The large panels can be a bit sail like in the wind requiring an additional two stakes if it is going to be windy. It would be way overkill for one person.
I have had occasional condensation and a bit of misting during an all-night heavy rain.Jun 12, 2012 at 10:58 am #1886251
d kBPL Member
I slept in the LH Duo for one night; it WAS a very wet night (i.e. dew, but no rain) as other campers in the area agreed, but condensation was definitely a problem. My impression of the tent was that it was less breezy than, say, our Tarptent Cloudburst, so it probably does have more condensation than a breezier tent. I sold the tent not because of condensation issues but because my partner knocked the (interior) trekking pole on his side out of kilter a few times in his sleep, so the tent wasn't going to be for us. I suspect on most California nights, the tent would not have had such dire condensation, but still perhaps more than some designs. The SMD has more headroom IIRC, so condensation might not be so much "in your face" literally and figuratively.Jun 12, 2012 at 1:29 pm #1886294
Jacob DBPL Member
@jacobdLocale: North Bay
Cary's comment is right on – sagging is a feature of silnylon. The more of it, the more stretch. The SMD utilizes a lot of material.
Rafi, regarding that review, if that was their experience then it is what it is, as the saying goes. However, from reading that review I notice a few things. They dinged the tent for not having a rain fly and being a single walled tent… well all I can say to that is duh! I get the feeling this person didn't research of understand the differences between single wall and double wall shelters and their expectations were not realistic. I don't find the tent difficult to setup, nor would I have a problem setting it up in the rain (why would this make setting up any tent more difficult??).
Personally, I have not used the LH Duo that much. It doesn't vent quite as well as the SMD in my experience, which can be a little breezy. It is a roomy tent, but the SMD is king when it comes to room for two… it also has a big footprint, which can sometimes be a challenge to plop down in the woods.
Judy is putting peak vents into the SoLong 6 (nice tent, by the way), so I have to wonder if the Duo will (or has been) updated to include them too? I think Judy is on vacation (or possibly traveling for business) but I'll see if I can get an answer on that, I'm curious now.
edit: Talked to Judy briefly, the current design of the Duo does not have peak vents. It sounds like she has plans to implement the same sort of vents that the SoLong has, but didn't give me specifics on when that would happen. Judy is generally very easy to get in touch with. If you have any questions I'm sure she would happily answer them.Jun 13, 2012 at 8:19 am #1886515
Thanks Jacob.
It sounds like the LH Duo with venting could be the way to go. I have a Lightheart solo and have dealt with Judy in the past (she's great). I suppose I'd have to wait until they actually start producing the duo with venting — unless they can do a custom design…
Thanks again.

LHG SoLong has great:
1. Roominess (fits 2 people, a dog, and gear inside!)
2. Ventilation (2 std vents at top now, as well as lots of mesh and ways to set up for air flow)

And it's handmade in USA, unlike solo or duo (China made).
I think it would be a perfect fit for you, and I really like mine.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I'd need something wide enough to fit two large neo-airs (which are each 25in across).

Not sure how you are measuring, but given how the side walls are arranged between the two tents, I cannot imagine that the Lightheart duo is "larger inside" than the SMD Lunar Duo. The Lightheart looks like it might have a little more interior volume than the Tarptent Double Rainbow, which we owned for a couple of years, but the SMD Lunar Duo has long side walls that are vertical – not sloped inward. Judging from the photos at the hikeitlikeit site, the SMD Duo is just immensely larger — which squares with our own experience with this tent.
Perhaps the floor size of the Lightheart is larger, I'm not sure. But that's not the whole story by any means. We've had the Lunar Duo for several years, and have never seen a two person lightweight tent with that sort of usable interior volume.
Good luck with the decision — there are many excellent choices these days.

Eric Schmidt Suggests Peace With Apple is Coming, Dismisses Windows Phone
Jason Mick
December 5, 2012 12:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Schmidt also expresses frustration with patent wars; disdain for Windows Phone
When it comes to Eric Schmidt,
Google Inc. (
) CEO and his company's arch-nemesis Apple, Inc. (
), the ties that bind are almost as strong as the ties that separate.
I. Victims of Smartphone War are the Little Guys, Says Schmidt
During much of Mr. Schmidt's time atop the Google throne; he also
served on Apple's board of directors
. The two companies had a fruitful relationship and Mr. Schmidt
was close friends
with late Apple CEO Steven P. Jobs. That relationship fast deteriorated when Google decided to launch Android, a Linux based smartphone platform that would eventually come to heavily outsell Apple in the smartphone market in unit sales. Mr. Jobs
expressed a feeling of "betrayal"
at the decision, which not only spoke to his
zealous feelings of ownership
of the smartphone market, but also his strange relationship with Google and Mr. Schmidt.
In an interview with the
Wall Street Journal
Mr. Schmidt speaks optimistically that the pair can work out their differences with respect to patent litigation, commenting:
[Google's relationship with Apple has] always been on and off. Obviously, we would have preferred them to
use our maps
. They threw YouTube off the home screen [of iPhones and iPads]. I'm not quite sure why they did that.
[But] the adult way to run a business is to run it more like a country. They have disputes, yet they've actually been able to have huge trade with each other. They're not sending bombs at each other.
I think both Tim [Cook, Apple's CEO] and Larry [Page, Google's CEO], the sort of successors to Steve [Jobs] and me if you will, have an understanding of this state model. When they and their teams meet, they have just a long list of things to talk about.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is not concerned Android will be hurt by the patent wars.
[Image Source: The Sydney Morning Herald]
Mr. Schmidt says that both Apple and Google are "doing fine" and that
neither side
has been able to gain ground in the patent war, much like the entrenched empires of the First World War. He says that the real "loser" in the patent wars are small startups, which might look to create an innovative news smartphone operating system as Android VP Andy Rubin did when his startup made what would later become Android back in the middle of the last decade. With all the lawsuits and junk patents, Mr. Schmidt argues such "garage" innovation is simply impossible in today's legal climate.
II. Former CEO Addresses Criticism, Says Microsoft is no Threat
The Google executive admits that his company long lagged Apple in terms of financially compensating developers. He remarks, "Google Play [Google's app store] and the monetization just started working well in the last year, maybe the last six months. The volume is indisputable, and with the volume comes the opportunity and the luxury of time."
As for the perennial question of whether Google
will or should favor new acquisition Motorola Mobility
over its third-party Android partners, Mr. Schmidt says that would be a "terrible mistake". He says that when the deal was announced he personally flew to meet with executives at South Korea's Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) -- the world's largest smartphone maker and foremost Android adopter -- to assure them that there would be no favoritism.
As for Microsoft Corp.'s (
Windows Phone
; Mr. Schmidt was dismissive of the operating system. He blasts, "I have not used it, but I think that Microsoft has not emerged as a trendsetter in this new model yet."
Eric Schmidt argues Microsoft's Windows Phone is no "trend setter".
Mr. Schmidt expressed hopes that
current antitrust investigations
Google's involvement in various markets
would wrap up. He says he has no interest working for the Obama administration in a government post, saying Google has always been his "home".

People hope Alzheimer's walk will help find a cure
BRISTOL, Tenn. - More than 500 people laced up their shoes Saturday to walk to find a cure. It was all for Alzheimer's disease and for families dealing with this disease; there are now drugs to slow the progress, but still nothing to cure it.
A beautiful Saturday morning and many people are spending it walking for a cure, "I've been a proud dad for 57 years but today I'm even prouder of them for everything they put forth for this cause," says participate Ray Oddinger.
Oddinger and his family are out walking for his wife, Jo Jo, they alone raised $10,000, "In my family we've had 3 victim of Alzheimer's and we know that unless we find the cause we'll never find the cure," adds Oddinger.
Oddinger tells us his wife was started having signs of Alzheimer's five years ago and it's been getting worse, "My wife is not able to walk and hasn't for some time for months now. We haven't been able to carry on a conversation," says Oddinger.
The walk was for people like Jo Jo and they hope with every step they take and every dollar they make they can find a cure, "One that we love, someone we know is being diagnosed with Alzheimer's and there's over 5 million people right now in the U.S. that has Alzheimer's disease," says Debbie Boggs with the Alzheimer's Association.
Boggs tells us Alzheimer's is a disease where plaque forms on the brain, "That plaque eats away at the good brain cells basically so the plaque cannot be reversed," says Boggs.
Meanwhile Ray tells us now he holds on to the good memories with his wife, "I can still get a smile from her and that's the thanks that I'm looking for," adds Boggs.
Saturday's race raised more than $60,000.
If you need help caring for a patient with Alzheimer's, the Alzheimer's Association in Johnson City has a 24-hour help line you can call at 800-272-3900.

It's Only a Matter of Time For 'Revolution'
It's easy to find out what TV shows a person likes -- and, even more telling, what they hate. All you have to do is look at their PVR and see what's there multiple times, being saved for a rainy, really snoozy day. Take what I have banked, for example: "Once Upon a Time" (any episode with Rumpelstiltskin, good; any other one, meh), "CSI" (good, but not absolutely urgent), "Fringe" (not what you think -- my PVR missed the second episode of the season and we haven't had a chance to catch up online), and "Last Resort" (actually, I have no idea why that's there; pressing "play" now).
Oh, wait. How could I forget the show clogging up most of my PVR's space? "Revolution." Oh, "Revolution."
Sigh. I had such high hopes for the show. It started off so well. Remember that moment, in the pilot, when we first saw the lights go out? Cell phones dying, TVs getting fuzzy, radios becoming staticky, car headlights fluttered, then came to a halt, airplanes falling from the sky ... it was eerie and suspenseful and awesome. Then -- bam! Or, should I say -- yawn. The end of the world as we know it, thanks to a complete crash of technology, is a premise with loads of possibilities, but, so far, J.J. Abrams' and Eric Kripke's end of the world tale has been pretty dull. (Perhaps "revolution" in the title is a bad omen. There's "The Revolution." Crap. "Step Up Revolution." Yeesh. "Dance Dance Revolution." No comment. "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution." Wait, I actually like that one.)
Don't get me wrong; "Revolution" does have some strong-ish points. Take Miles (Billy Burke), Tom (Giancarlo Esposito) and Aaron (Zak Orth), for instance. They're decent enough and are probably the only characters that keep the story consistently interesting (though, I admit, Daniella Alonso's Nora earned some cool, albeit predictable, points in last week's episode). And while Elizabeth Mitchell (Rachel) never hurts any show, and normally can do no wrong, she has yet to make any sort of impact on "Revolution." Not yet, at least.
For the longest time, the destitute man's Katniss Everdeen, Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos), has been the weak link in all this, as they search for her boring brother, Danny (Graham Rogers). You know, he of the floppy Bieber 'do and the one-note ... everything. But as the episodes pass, there's one woefully miscast character who is driving me up the wall even more than the surviving hair models: General Sebastian Monroe (David Lyons).
Honestly, did all the other actors who command any sort of presence miss the auditions? Or did Lyons have the role of Bass locked up because of his past history with NBC ("The Cape," "ER")? Because those are the only reasons I can think of to explain why he could be cast as any sort of formidable villain. A random henchman or a douchey rich psychopath, maybe. But as the evil dude in charge? No way. Especially when Lyons shares screen time with Esposito, who is much more suited for the role of feared general. Perhaps the ultimate goal is for Tom to get "promoted," but for now, it's easily the show's worst puzzle piece.
Perhaps my problem is impatience and the fact that they're still looking for Danny. Zzzzzz. (I know they can only get from place to place by foot, but all the walking is so tedious.) Last week's episode was probably the best hour since the premiere, but it's still not great. I guess I just didn't think it would take this long to get to the good stuff.
Yes, "Revolution" is picking up (the best parts are the back stories, and what has led each character to where they are now. With Led Zeppelin's music playing throughout tonight's episode, it's almost certain that we'll learn more about Miles' past). But these last two episodes of the year will be the test. If there's not enough juice to keep viewers interested, my PVR can breathe a sigh of relief because it'll have one less show to record.
You can watch "Revolution" on Citytv in Canada and on NBC in the US, on Monday nights at 10 p.m. ET.
After a hilarious stint on HBO's "Girls" (which he'll also return to for Season 2), we're thrilled that Rannells ended his Tony-nominated run starring in "The Book of Mormon" on Broadway to play one-half of Ryan Murphy's new comedic leading gay couple on "The New Normal." His scene-stealing skills are still very much intact -- he goes head-to-head with co-stars NeNe Leakes and Ellen Barkin and still manages to get the last laugh.
Yes, "Nashville's" big draw is the rivalry between Connie Britton's one-time queen of country music and Hayden Panettiere's up-and-coming starlet; but the real gem here is Bowen's Scarlett O'Connor, a sweet girl with an even sweeter singing voice. This Australian native might not be a big name in the States just yet, but it's only a matter of time.
British actor Weeks plays Jeremy Reed, the devilish doctor who tempts Mindy Kaling's title character to the dark side on "The Mindy Project." This is his first US TV role, and we're already expecting great things.
We only caught a glimpse of katana-wielding Michonne in the "Walking Dead" Season 2 finale, but it was enough to get fans excited for more. As our survivors seek shelter in the prison and meet The Governor (David Morrissey), they're gonna need someone who knows how to wrangle up zombies right, and Michonne's their girl.
Now that Puck (Mark Salling) has graduated from McKinley, there's a new generation of Puckerman in town -- Artist is signed on to play Jake, Noah Puckerman's half-brother, in Season 4. If he's even half as talented, sweet and prone to causing trouble, we'll happily have a slushie or two waiting in the wings with his name on it.
Benanti was a bright spot in NBC's drama flop "The Playboy Club" last season, but while the Broadway vet got to sing and shake her tail feather (literally), we didn't get to see her show off her comedy chops there or on her "Law & Order: SVU" stint. Now playing opposite Matthew Perry, there's great comedic potential and some sexual tension to mine.
Evans, a male model (and current Mr. Tyra Banks), is stepping into some pretty big shoes to judge "ANTM" this season, and we have high hopes that he can pull it off. He's got the looks to keep us watching and the pedigree to critique this cycle's contestants ... we'll still miss Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel and J. Alexander, but this is a nice refresh.
Montgomery made the final season reboot of Fox's "Human Target" bearable, popped up on "Entourage" and even danced around the company in "Black Swan," but this starring role is her true US TV breakout, and her convincing Jersey accent and go-get-'em attitude will make you forget she's actually a Brit.
There aren't many Oscar winners that could come to TV without fanfare ... but that's the case with Faxon, who brings all his funny sidekick experience up a notch to take on one of the lead roles (he's Ben) in this quirky family comedy. He's been around for a while, is a Groundlings member and, yes, even took home an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for George Clooney's "The Descendants" last year, which he co-wrote with director Alexander Payne and his writing partner Jim Rash, a.k.a. "Community's" Dean Pelton. TV is lucky to have him.
Spiridakos has done TV guest spots here and there (including a stint on Syfy's "Being Human" last season), but this is the show that should make her a star. "Revolution" has its issues, for sure, but even surrounded by more established stars, Spiridakos shines playing an emotional and gun-toting badass.
Camilla Luddington is on call at Seattle Grace Mercy West hospital. The "Californication" and "True Blood" alum will don scrubs on "Grey's Anatomy" this fall to play a (sexy) new doc, with the option to sign on as a series regular next season. Start placing bets now about who she'll hook up with first!
Amell's most memorable TV role to date might be as Jason, the rival male prostitute on the last season of HBO's "Hung," but his new superpowers really suit him. As Oliver Queen, aka The Green Arrow, Amell has some big leather hoodies to slip into ... but we guarantee no one will complain about the way he fills them out.
Swedish-born Masöhn was a bright spot on Fox's ill-fated "Bones" spinoff "The Finder" -- and she's got quite the sense of humor -- but we're loving her in this darker role as one of the residents of a very haunted building. Cast alongside Terry O'Quinn, Vanessa Williams, Dave Annable and Rachael Taylor, she still manages to stand out as a Park Ave. resident to watch.

Jackett looking to continue work
Wolves will check in at their Scottish training camp later today ready to build on the first fortnight of work under new Head Coach Kenny Jackett.
The team will spend five days North of the Border, training largely at Stirling University but also kicking off the competitive pre-season with friendlies at East Fife on Wednesday (7.30pm) and Livingston on Saturday (2pm).
And that will build on that first fortnight of fitness work, which included three daily sessions starting at 7.30am with a morning run.
"I think to do three sessions a day, you generally in a working environment need to get up early and get working," says Jackett.
"That has to be the case; it's a good habit to get into and in pre-season, it's something I've always done.
"It's good to lay down some foundations and then you can properly separate a running session, a football session and then a gym-based session.
"Then I can look at the content of each section but separate them.
"For example, the middle one is a warm-up with football – whatever drills I think are needed – whether it be finishing, defending, passing and heading etc. That's a continuous assessment.
"As for the running, it starts long and gets shorter with trainers on a hard surface to start with to toughen the legs then move on to the shorter stuff more relevant to football with boots on.
"The gym-based sessions can be anything from weight training and physical conditioning to core work to mobility to yoga.
"And you get variation in all of those areas and you can specify.
"I like to separate each section because those three aspects cover every aspect of training, then you can get the right thing at the right time after that.
"Spreading it out by starting early does give you the chance and the opportunity to stretch properly in between, and eat well, recover and be ready to go again."
Jackett has also revealed that there have been subtle changes made to the dietary offerings for the players whilst they are at the training ground and on tour.
"They had a massive and very varied diet here – they have had a very good variety of food," he says.
"We have probably made sure there are now fewer choices and more specific foods, so you're absolutely pushing them in the right direction.
"It's so they are consistent in their eating habits and, like every football club, what we feed them here, we hope shows them what they should eat outside of here.
"It's an education – the food that's at the training ground at the weekend should be replicated when they're not working such as in the evenings when they're eating their main meal.
"It's also that they can see what is the right food and so that they can buy the right food."
And Jackett is looking forward to getting the squad bedded in further as they spend the week in Scotland.
"I don't think I've ever played against East Fife, but I have been to Stirling University," he explained.
"It's good and the games up there are good – they're lively.
"In general, there is normally some doubt as to the quality of the pitches when you go on tour to Scotland – you can't quite find the training pitches.
"But the facilities at the University are very good – Kevin Thelwell and Tony Daley have both been up there and everything will be in tip-top condition."

Shock rocker Marilyn Manson is reportedly fine after collapsing during a show in Canada.
The 44-year-old Manson, real name Brian Warner, fell to the stage about halfway through performing his 1996 hit song, The Beautiful People, during a show in Saskatoon.
In a clip posted on Youtube, the rest of the band continues to play, apparently unaware of the difficulties the singer is having.
As the song comes to an end, stagehands rush onstage to help Manson.
Manson was seen to be vomiting on the stage, according to reports.
Despite concerns online for the singer's health, Manson was reportedly suffering from a flu and was taken by to his hotel room to recuperate, "sources close to the rocker" told TMZ.
He didn't want to call off the show, the website said, and is determined to perform in Calgary tomorrow night.

A mode of protest made famous during the Argentinazo in late 2001. It involves protesters making noise by banging pots, pans and other utensils (originally to symbolise hunger). It can be used either to disrupt through making a noise, or simply to draw attention. Since the Argentinazo, it has become popular across Latin America and beyond, and has been used by European anti-capitalists among others.
A similar protest tactic in India is known by the name gherao.

Can't say I use any particular method. Time of year, time constraints and queen availability dictate how I approach splitting.
I often use a method similar to MP's but change things up a bit because I hate coming back to a yard and I work with singles. I will pull the frames I want for the split, shake the bees back into the brood chamber and add extra frames to fill the brood chamber. Slap on a queen excluder and then add an empty box on top. Into the empty box I add the beeless brood frames and other frames to fill the box. Smoke up the bees and a short time later I the split is ready to go. (Truth be told, mostly I'm putting the split into nuc boxes, starting them at the home yard, transferring then to brood chambers and then moving them early mornings in spring. With the distance to the yards we use this is the most efficient management method until I dream up the next one.) For what ever reason, smoking the bees up seems to work best for me from willow to dandelion bloom.

I think Flacco throws a better ball than Eli, tight spiral with speed.
Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
The term elite is thrown around way to much. They are both good QB's.
who cares? Eli is our QB and I am damn happy to have him, goofiness and all.
If Flacco wins the SB, will it be too early to start talking H.O.F?
What is with all these RIDICULOUS posts comparing other QB's of much lesser stature to Eli....... it's such a joke stop it.

Notable Oregonians: Tom McCall - Governor, Journalist
Thomas Lawson McCall was born in Egypt, Massachusetts on March 22, 1913, the son of Henry McCall and Dorothy Lawson McCall. His parents had moved to Portland, Oregon from Massachusetts in 1909. Shortly thereafter they moved to a ranch near Prineville, Oregon on the Crooked River. McCall spent significant time during his childhood both on the ranch and in Massachusetts. He attended the University of Oregon, graduating with a degree in journalism in 1936. His first job was at the News-Review in Moscow, Idaho, from 1937-1942. In 1939 he married Audrey Owen. They moved back to Oregon and he began working for The Oregonian newspaper, and then as a news announcer at KGW radio. McCall enlisted in the Navy in 1944 and served as a war correspondent in the Pacific. In January of 1946 he returned to Oregon and began a nightly radio talk show on KEX in Portland. He joined the Young Republicans, and in 1949 he accepted a job as Governor Douglas McKay's assistant. McCall was elected Oregon secretary of state in 1964.
In 1966 he ran for governor and was opposed by his own party. Nevertheless, he ran on the issue of "livability" and defeated Robert Straub in the general election in November 1966. His first major political victory came with legislation known as the "Beach Bill," which granted the state government the power to zone Oregon's beaches, thus protecting them from private development. Perhaps the most famous environmental legislation enacted under McCall was House Bill 1036, the "Bottle Bill," which was the nation's first mandatory bottle-deposit law and was designed to decrease litter in Oregon. The bill was enacted in 1971.
Land use planning became a major issue in 1973, and Senate Bill 100 from that session was designed to provide state control over land use decisions. Although the final bill did not go as far as McCall originally intended, a compromise bill created the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC).
McCall left office on January 14, 1975. Despite his famous 1971 quote imploring people not to move to the state, Oregon's population grew by 25% during his eight years in office. He took a job as KATU television's news analyst, and also traveled nationwide supporting other states' efforts to enact bottle bills similar to Oregon's. He also actively opposed a 1976 effort to abolish the LCDC, and another effort to dismantle it in 1982. In February of 1978 McCall announced he would once again run for governor, however his campaign suffered from a lack of both funding and focus, and he was defeated by Victor Atiyeh in the Republican primary.
In December of 1982 he was hospitalized, and on January 8, 1983 Tom McCall lost a long battle with cancer. He was buried in Redmond Memorial Cemetery.

Council discusses Crosslake snowmobile trail
Recently, a piece of property that had been used as a snowmobile trail for many years was blocked from use by a new owner.
The Crosslake City Council discussed the matter at its year-end meeting Thursday, Dec. 27.
The property, located on County Road 16, had been a place where snowmobiles used a driveway to cross from Cross Lake over County Road 16 to get to Rush Lake, as the channel between Rush and Cross lakes often remains open throughout the winter.
Pictures presented to the council show the new owner put a fence up at the County Road 16 entrance to the property, and a length of dock was placed parallel to the Cross Lake shoreline, blocking the path from water onto land.
It was reported that the trail had been used for as many as 50 years. Kirk Schnitker, a Crosslake property owner, contacted Mayor Darrell Schneider about the closure of the property to snowmobilers because he felt it could be a safety hazard.
Schnitker had also suggested that because the property had been used for so long, there could be a common law dedication to the people for its use.
To cross County Road 16 at other nearby areas, snowmobilers must get up a steep embankment, which drops them almost directly onto the road, council member John Moengen said. He sees it as an unsafe situation, concerned that a snowmobile will get hit by a car.
He also pointed out that it's difficult to hold anyone accountable for any damage done to the property by the snowmobiles, which is unfair to the property owner.
City attorney Michael Couri, through email correspondence with city staff, explained that the city has no liability or ownership over snowmobile trails. From the city's perspective, there are no legal concerns.
Couri said that while no policy prevents the city from acquiring snowmobile trails, acquiring the trail may not be desirable, as the city would become responsible for any injuries that occur on the trail and trail upkeep.
Concerns were also expressed by city staff that the fence put up on the property may not meet the requirements of city code, though proper measurements were difficult to conduct with snow covering the property.
The council agreed to send a letter to the Ideal Sno Pros Snowmobile Club and the property owner concerning the situation, and to encourage a discussion on what it would take to create a safer trail from Cross to Rush lake.

(Nov 16 - 17, 2006)
U.S. Higher Education Delegation to Asia
Rounding out a three-country visit to Northeast Asia, the delegation of U.S. university presidents, led by Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings and Assistant Secretary of State Dina Powell, traveled to Beijing, China, to herald the U.S. as a premier destination for educational opportunities. Additionally, Secretary Spellings emphasized the desire of the U.S. to send more students, faculty and teachers to China for study, professional development, teaching and collaborative research.
Partnering with the Chinese government to emphasize this message, Secretary Spellings and Assistant Secretary Powell met with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, as well as Minister of Education Zhou Ji and other Ministry of Education leaders. During these meetings the leaders discussed ways the U.S. and China can work together to equip students with the tools necessary to compete in the global economy. To achieve this effort, both countries discussed the need to further Chinese language development in the U.S. and English language development in China. Moreover, to formalize their agreement and pledge for cooperation, Secretary Spellings and Minister Zouh signed a Memorandum of Understanding noting mutual emphasis on the advancement of international higher education opportunities for U.S. and Chinese students.
Following the signing ceremony, the delegation joined with their Chinese peers from a wide range of Chinese universities and colleges in a roundtable dialogue hosted by Tsinghua University. Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Dr. David Leebron, president of Rice University, and Dr. James Owen, president of Piedmont Community College, discussed the increasing internationalization of higher education and the development of new strategies at higher education institutions to effectively educate students to compete and succeed in a global society.
Continuing the peer-to-peer dialogue that was a hallmark of Secretary Spellings and Secretary Rice's Summit in January, Assistant Secretary Powell and the US university presidents also participated in a digital video conference with university leaders from the Shanghai region.
The delegation also participated in a large outreach event to promote American higher education attended by hundreds of students at Beijing Normal University. Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson, president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, spoke about the diverse educational options available to Chinese students interested in studying in the U.S. Secretary Spellings and Secretary Powell further underscored Dr. Jackson's remarks highlighting that the U.S. welcomes exchanges with Chinese students and opens its doors to those interested in studying in the U.S. Hitting this point home, Secretary Spellings indicated that in 2006, the U.S. Government issued almost 37,000 visas to Chinese students to study abroad, a 33% increase from 2005. Following her remarks, the Secretary addressed questions from students on such issues as tuition cost, grant opportunities, and transferability of international college credits.
Including the business sector in the US educational partnership has been a key theme of the Asian visit and, while in China, the delegation met with American Chamber of Commerce Beijing leaders for a breakfast meeting to discuss international higher education issues in the U.S. and China. Secretary Spellings emphasized the need to work together to prime all students to compete in the global economy. Dr. Philip Eaton, president of Seattle Pacific University, and Dr. Charles Steadman Upham, president of the University of Tulsa, accentuated elements of this discussion during their remarks, noting the increase in the international study programs offered by U.S. colleges and universities. They also analyzed the types of skills businesses in China are looking for, particularly considering the great demand for human capital throughout the country.
The delegation attended a networking reception, arranged by the American Embassy, for 200 US government sponsored exchange program alumni to talk about their study abroad experiences, ways that U.S. colleges and universities can more effectively engage foreign students, and to ask that they share in efforts to help recruit students to study in the US and share in the benefits they have received.
Prior to the delegation's departure, the U.S. government members and the American higher education leaders discussed the importance of this historic Asian visit as a critical first step toward increased collaboration between the United States and China, Korea and Japan, to foster greater mutual understanding and increased international higher education exchange and collaboration. Secretary Spellings had the opportunity to deepen her appreciation of China's enormous cultural heritage with visits to the Great Wall and Beijing's Forbidden City after the conclusion of the visit's meeting and outreach schedule.

This is the latest one that i could find. I hope someone can find some updates ones. Looked pretty neat last year when someone posted the link.
Half the report is about the lack of water............ in all three regions.
Also interesting on the same site:
I had a farmer suggest that he may be interested in seeding clover if there are enough bees available in the area. Has anyone pollinated clover? Is it typically crop share? I expect the honey production would be very good, unless the hives per acre are extremely dense. What do you folks know about clover for seed?
I have a farmer that is playing with it. Last year was his first and he couldn't tell if it helped. But we had a weird season last year.
