The Northern Mystics admit they have dropped the ball with their succession planning as their rookie players struggle to adapt to a high-performance environment.
While the Auckland franchise had a couple of curveballs thrown at them in the pre-season, with Charlotte Kight suffering a season-ending injury and Anna Harrison withdrawing because of pregnancy, they had 18 months' warning that come 2013 they would no longer have the services of long-serving captain and midcourt linchpin Temepara Bailey (nee George).
Even at the start of the transtasman league in 2008 the veteran midcourter was considered a year-by-year proposition. It therefore seems unconscionable that they did not have a clear succession plan.
Their poor future-proofing and lack of proper development pathways left caretaker coach Ruth Aitken with a creche of inexperienced players ill-prepared for a high-performance environment to plug the gaps in their roster.
After one win from the opening six rounds the Mystics sit ninth on the table, with only goal percentage separating them from the Mainland Tactix - their round-seven opponents - on the foot of the ladder.
Captain Maria Tutaia has made several references to the challenges facing the team off the court as they try to get the youngsters up to speed with the demands of a professional league. She told the Weekend Herald three weeks ago that some of the "babies" in the team had found it a steep learning curve.
"We've all got to learn to be accountable for our actions. We've got a lot of young players in the team, who are still getting used to this environment so we've got to help them through a lot of stuff," she said.
Coming into the environment the youngsters had little appreciation for even basic standards like being punctual for training, making sure their hydration and nutrition was up to scratch, adhering to the recovery protocols and informing team management and medical staff as soon as they noticed a twinge - things that should be second nature for all top-level athletes.
Aitken and her management team have had to spend a lot of time drilling players on their off-court habits, taking time and focus away from their on-court development.
Mystics chief executive Julie Paterson said that with no formal development pathways in place at regional level, the franchise had brought in training partners over the past few years to try to build depth. A change in the players' collective meant the Mystics could formally contract development players this season, but the loss of Harrison and Kight meant those players have been elevated to fulltime spots.
"Realistically, we didn't expect that they would be getting a lot of court time. We had intended to bring them into our environment, getting an understanding of the workload, the intensity and the commitment and maybe getting a quarter here and there if they're performing really well," said Paterson.
"It's challenging for everybody, I mean you imagine how those kids feel themselves coming into that environment with only really a limited understanding rather than hands-on experience working in a high-performance environment."
Paterson, who led the Southern Steel for the first four seasons, said that given the franchises operated in isolation from the regional bodies over the first five seasons, other franchises were in the same position. She said that with no strong competition underneath the ANZ Championship, and a lack of resources to support the next tier of players, franchises had been forced to throw players in the deep end.
"I've said this for five years since the ANZ Championship started - it was exactly the same with the Steel. We were picking up kids and putting them in a high-pressure environment and expecting them to train at a level and intensity that they have never experienced before," she said.
"Generally speaking players will come into a franchise and spend the first 12 months learning what it means to be in a high-performance environment."
Paterson believes the recent restructuring of New Zealand netball, which saw the 12 regions replaced by five zones, will make a "massive difference" to how players are prepared for franchise competition. Each zone has been aligned with a franchise, making for more streamlined development pathways, which will include creation of an under-23 competition.
"We've had a lot of discussion over the past few weeks around how we set up our high-performance programme and how the under-23 programme fits into developing players ... I think it will make a massive difference."

With the latest update has come a problem with my internet. When I am streaming netflix on the PS3, the other computers and internet capable devices in the house lag terribly. For some reason the PS3 is choking my upload speeds. I have tested this and I can steam netflix on two computers and game on another one and it will not lag at all, but if the PS3 is the one streaming, everything lags out. This didn't use to happen either, I could stream on the PS3 and game on a computer with zero issues. Any ideas on what happened and is there any way to fix it? I am on a PS3 slim 120GB with a wireless connection.

A good time for Aussie comedy
Nov 07, 2012 , 4:25 PM by Nadine Maloney
How good are Australian TV shows at the moment? There's so much quality being produced on a number of different networks, but my favourite Aussie comedy right now is definitely Lowdown on ABC1.
The show is about a dodgey tabloid newspaper journalist, Alex Burchill, who seems to have a habit of running inaccurate stories, breaking news that isn't new (or even true) and generally just getting into a whole lot of trouble.
His life kind of sucks. He's always getting in trouble at work, his girlfriend frequently cheats on him and his best friend tends to annoy him just by breathing - well, he does whistle through his nose when he breathes and we all know that can be annoying right? Right?
On the program today I spoke to Adam Zwar (pictured right, in character) who co-created the show and also plays Alex Burchill. He says he used to work in tabloid newspapers and the character is loosely based on himself as a journalist.
It's a great show that's just finished a second season. Will they bring it back for a third? Will it be sold to America? How would the American producers change it if it is sold to America? Would they make Alex Burchill a lesbian dentist?

Reading Your .Mobi
Kindle File On Android
The Amazon Kindle's .mobi is one of the fastest growing ebook formats due to the rapid growth of both Kindle readers and the Kindle ebook application that runs on just about anything.
If you have a .mobi Kindle file on your computer, that you either got as part of an ebook download/purchase or that you created by converting a PDF to .mobi… getting it onto your android phone or table is easy.
There's a number of reasons you'd want to convert your PDF even though Kindle can read them, particularly if you are working with a smaller device.
To get your .mobi file into the Kindle app on Android, first connect your android phone by USB to your computer and mount the SD card.
Once you're browsing the SD card from your computer, find the folder named "Kindle" and open it.
Copy/Paste your new .Mobi(s) into that folder. If you have a cover image that belongs to the .mobi file, you can copy it into the "covers" folder that is inside the "kindle" folder.
(Click here to learn more about converting PDFs and other document types into ePub format.)
Open the Kindle App and your file should be ready to go and waiting "on your device".
Simple, clean and efficient. A great way to make those clunky PDF eBooks perfect for reading on any small device!

Wall Street moved lower as a profit warning by FedEx underpinned the ongoing uncertainty about the flagging economy both at home and abroad, bolstering the appeal of US Treasuries.
Shares of FedEx dropped 2.7 per cent after the company lowered its profit forecast for its fiscal year 2013, saying customers were opting for cheaper shipping alternatives in a bid to cut costs.
In late afternoon trading in New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.06 per cent, the Standard & Poor's 500 lost 0.22 per cent, while the Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.16 per cent. In contrast, US Treasuries rose, pushing ten-year yields five basis points lower to 1.79 per cent.
While policy makers in the US and Europe have pledged their support through asset purchases in the past couple of weeks, investors are reassessing valuations after the recent surge in prices.
"The market got a little bit ahead of itself with the one-two punch from the ECB and the Fed in the last two weeks," Michael Woolfolk, senior currency strategist in New York at Bank of New York Mellon, told Bloomberg News. "It really hasn't changed the fundamental outlook for recession in Europe and weak growth in the US."
In Europe, Spain managed to sell 4.6 billion euros of bills, attracting decent demand after the European Central Bank earlier this month offered unlimited support to help keep borrowing costs down for struggling euro-zone members.
"The auction was reasonable and gives some confidence Spain can keep going for a while longer," Elisabeth Afseth, a fixed-income analyst at Investec Bank in London, told Bloomberg. "It shows the ECB have bought them some time and that's what's taken a little bit of the pressure off them today. However, they will probably still need a bailout at some stage."
Indeed, investors remain concerned about the region's debt problems, and for good reasons.
"You are looking at a Spanish economy that has 25 per cent unemployment and a huge overhang of residential mortgages. Even if you write a lot of those down, you are still talking about fiscal austerity, so you can't grow your way out of arguably a recession," Lane Newman, director of foreign exchange trading at ING Capital Markets in New York, told Reuters.
A report showing German investor confidence improved for the first time in five months failed to inspire. The ZEW Center for European Economic Research in Mannheim said its index of investor and analyst expectations rose to minus 18.2 in September from minus 25.5 in August.
Europe's Stoxx 600 Index finished the session with a 0.4 per cent decline on the previous close. National benchmark stock indexes in Germany, France and the UK all dropped. The euro also fell, weakening 0.6 per cent to US$1.3038.

text: First year bee keeping and not having such a great time. From the beginning the hive has been weak. I started on plastic and thought maybe they weren't building because they came from wax so I switched out all the foundation to wax. Still no new comb. There are eggs and larva but the laying pattern is pretty sporadic and the bees are not very hygienic. The numbers in the hive have dwindled down to maybe two frames worth of bees and no new comb and little honey. I have even been doing some feeding to make sure it isn't an issue of no food no growth. I have came to the conclusion that the queen is rubbish but I don't understand why she wouldn't be replaced by the bees. I am getting a new queen tomorrow though it may be too little too late. At this point I want to just try to understand why what is happening is happening and at least try to get the hive built up enough to maybe make it through the winter.

Bruins set to take on Sabres
|11.03.10 at 6:56 pm ET
The Bruins and Sabres aren't far from the puck dropping on their first contest since the B's eliminated Buffalo in the first round of last year's playoffs. Tim Thomas is in net for the B's, and with Ryan Miller battling a lower-body injury, Jhonas Entroth will make his second career start (he allowed four goals to the Bruins in a Sabres loss last November).
The Sabres are off to a wretched start, sitting in last place of the Northeast divison with just eight points in 12 games. The B's have 12 points in eight games, thanks to wins in all six of Thomas' starts this season. The lines appear to be the same as they have been in practice this week. Here are the lines according to the Globe's Fluto Shinzawa:
Lucic – Krejci – Horton
Caron – Bergeron- Recchi
Wheeler -Seguin- Ryder
Marchand – Campbell- Thornton
Chara – Ference
Hunwick – Seidenberg
Stuart – McQuaid

With the Sony Xperia Z3 having been unveiled to tackle the high-end market, the Japanese manufacturer is also looking out for those of us with shallower pockets. That's where the Sony Xperia E3 comes in.
An entry-level Android handset, the Xperia E3 is pushing the boundaries of budget phones. With 4G LTE connectivity options and a premium, matt design, it has elements which echo those of its big brothers.
"This will be our most affordable LTE device yet," Calum MacDougall, Sony's Director of Xperia Marketing said. "Our task here is to bring as many of our best of Sony capabilities as possible to a more affordable price point."
Unveiling the device he added: "This handset is, to some degree, about speed. It has LTE connectivity and a quad-core Qualcomm processor."
Sony Xperia E3 Features
As you might expect from an entry-level handset, the Xperia E3's specs sheet is not blossoming with high-end inclusions. That doesn't mean this device is a slouch though, far from it.
With a quad-core Qualcomm processor running the show, the E3 is further enhanced by 1GB of RAM and a sizeable 2330mAh Lithium-Ion battery.
Larger than many entry-level handsets, this 4G offering boasts a 4.6-inch display with an acceptable – if somewhat underwhelming – 854 x 480 pixel resolution.
A 5-megapixel rear-mounted camera will keep snap-happy users appeased. This camera is further enhanced by a number of 'smart camera capabilities' which has dropped down from the flagship Z-series line. These include Time Shift Burst and Social Life.
As well as the phone's 4G abilities, the E3's connectivity collection is rounded off by the usual array of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC options.
Sony Xperia E3 Release Date and Price
Despite having been formally unveiled, the Sony Xperia E3 isn't going on sale just yet. The E3 release date has instead been pegged for 'early October'.
A precise Xperia E3 price is also still unclear. However, with its predecessor – the Sony Xperia E1 – having cost just £69.99 at launch, expect the E3 to be equally light on your wallet.

This week's Santa Barbara Independent jumps all over News-Mess owner Wendy McCaw and her people's team of lawyers (which now includes Marty Singer) for the weekend smear of ex-editor Jerry Roberts. "Typically, Roberts exudes a self-deprecating cockiness that allows him to make light of such problems as losing his job, having his spleen removed, and his ongoing battle with cancer. He could even milk a few yuks about being sued by McCaw for $25 million. But as of last Sunday, Roberts officially lost his sense of humor," writes Nick Welsh. "This has been a grim saga for Santa Barbara and an even grimmer one for journalism." Barney Brantingham, the ex-News Press columnist who quit in disgust last year, adds his take that "Sunday's Santa Barbara News-Press hit-piece attacking former editor Jerry Roberts was written in outhouse slime, not proud printer's ink, a sick masterpiece of slick innuendo...My 46-plus years at the News-Press ended when I resigned the afternoon of last July 6 because I could not stand what it had become. I am saddened and ashamed that it has sunken far lower now."

Transformational Leadership
€ 14,49
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
August 2014
BeschreibungThe purpose of Himelhoch's study was to begin to understand the ways physical fitness connects to transformational leadership behaviors. Study participants were leaders from a variety of professions, all of whom are avid exercisers. The fact that these leaders are ardent exercisers provisioned the examination of physically-fit leaders because their fitness levels are at the higher end of an exercise-intensity range. The results suggest mind-body connections in which physically-fit leaders use transformational approaches to their leadership. Participants serve as role models to their employees, consistent with the idealized influence dimension of transformational leadership. Their perspectives align well with intellectual stimulation, as they aim to stimulate creativity and innovation. Participants' behavior is consistent with individual consideration, and in a manner unique to HIIT because they use measurement as a motivational tool. The HIIT leaders in this study work to convey an encouraging and moving vision, consistent with inspirational motivation. Rich quotes from these leaders give deep insight into these connections. Future research directions are suggested.
PortraitCarol Himelhoch, PhD, (The University of Michigan) is Professor of Management and Organizational Behavior at Siena Heights University in Adrian, Michigan. Her management experience spans Tier 1 automotive manufacturing operations, marketing, advertising, and retail management. She has been active in consulting since the mid- 1980s and is co-owner of NeoLogix, LLC. She has practiced high-intensity exercise since 2005.

he was crying and crying so I hgave him tylenol and gas drops
- 1 Replies
I understand that a cholic infant can wake up screaming ande crying.But can gas still affect our toddlers the same way?
I put my LO in bed and 45 m later, he woke up crying and screaming. I tried to calm him down and I could tell he had gas issues. I tried for 45 m to calm him down but nothing.
So we went to the living room and sat on the couch and all light were still off.he kept crying for sometime and then he pointed at my jacket and at the door. I asked him if he wanted to go out and he said yes. So we went for a ride and after 30 m he fell asleep but at least he didnt cry during the 30 m ride.
he is a great sleeper and he never woke up like that so I have no idea if it was gas or if he needed a ride.
aany input?

As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under "Comments" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
1.) Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you�ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
2.) Measure your space by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. (If your space measures 7 inches plus 8 tick marks, that is 8/16 � 1/2. Your space is 7-1/2" on one side.)
3.) Another example: If your space is 7 inches and 9 marks past that, your material should be 7-9/16".
The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).

Poem by: sowosamma25
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
The elbow on the table
the right one
left hand on the surface
kidneys hurt
cold feet
unable to move
I grab a cigarette
the lighter falls down
I bend down to pick it up
up again
little finger and thumb are pressing against my temple
bad taste in my mouth
I´m sitting safe in a chair
and there are only 5 feet left to get into my bed
another zip of some 40% shit
no work tomorrow
you know that you are fucked
when you wake up
with still four hours until the sun rises
hoping that there are still some smokes left
hoping that the 40% aren´t empty yet
hoping that the door you´ve seen
is still open.

An interesting poem which explores many vices and virtues.I for one find myself awakening every 2 hours through the wee small hours and indulging in a little of what i fancy usually toast,cig or coffee and sometimes all three.
Great stuff. Impressive. Reminds me of when I used to smoke a ton of weed and my sleep cycle was trashed. And I would get up at all kinds of weird hours and write stuff similar to this. Memories.
has an intensity about it almost self loathing but isnt a powerful poem

das racist @ rolling hall
Saturday night was the Das Racist concert at Rolling Hall in Hongdae. They were brought to Seoul by supercolorsuper - a booking group that has brought bands like YACHT, Caribou and Handsome Furs to Korea for a decent price (unlike the Jonsi concert which was here recently for W99,000 a ticket - barf!). This concert was exactly what I needed - I haven't been to a good dance party in such a long time (miss you SHAKE!) and these guys had so much energy - half the crowd got onstage to dance with them for final song which was, of course 'Combination Pizza Hut & Taco Bell'. Also, free Taco Bell coupons - gotta like that. I officially heart DR.
And how much do I WANT WANT this canary yellow vintage Yves Saint Laurent sweatshirt? Let's just say very much.
Tecla opened and pretty much blew my mind as well - not just her voice but her banging style. Blood red lips, high waisted acid wash jeans with gold jangles and a lacy corset-like top. Loved her look. So hot she set the stage on fire - literally.

These adorable chocolate bars are my absolute favorite Easter treat to put together. It's particularly a great craft to do with the kids: you can wrap each piece, and let them draw the bunny details on each piece. Great as a party favor or a treat for your children to pass out to their classmates for the holiday, these little bunnies are sure to be a hit!
For each mini chocolate bar or treat that you want to decorate, cut a piece of paper that will wrap around the entire pieces of candy. I measured the size of the Kit-Kat bars that I was using and added 1 inch to each side to guide my cutting dimensions. Wrap each piece of candy with the paper and use a piece of clear scotch tape to hold it in place. Continue wrapping the candy like you would a Christmas present until each end is secure.

Many animals have basic numerical abilities, but some experiences can transform their minds and ultimately change how they think about numbers
Marc Hauser
This article was published in the March-April 2000 issue of American Scientist.
The British philosopher Bertrand Russell once said that "it must have required many ages to discover that a brace of pheasants and a couple of days were both instances of the number two." That discovery, however, was made not by the brace of pheasants, but the philosopher himself, presumably as an adult human being. And what of the pheasants? Are they capable of understanding that as a pair they represent the number two?
Birding wisdom holds that to watch most birds without disturbing them, it is best to hide behind a blind. If the bird sees you enter, however, you're not much better off because it is now aware of the blind. One way around this problem is for two people to enter the blind together. Some time later, one person leaves and the bird, apparently assuming the coast is clear, goes back to business as usual. Why? Because most birds observed in this situation are incapable of computing a simple subtraction: 2 - 1 = 1!
It would seem that, if birds are any indication, animals are far from the most astute of mathematicians. But we do know that animals must have at least limited numerical capabilities. Species with widely different life cycles, ecologies and mating systems have been known to engage in varied forms of mental calculus designed to maximize energetic intake: They calculate average rates of return in food patches, use information about search costs and search speed to assess optimal rates of return, obey Bayes's theorem (a calculation of the probability of future returns based on prior experience) and hide seeds over a broad swath of turf, returning months later to retrieve their stash. These calculations show that animals are indeed equipped with some form of powerful "number-crunching" device.
When facing competition within and between groups, social animals often adhere to the dictum "there is strength in numbers." In chimpanzees, for example, attacking and killing a member of another community occurs only if the intruder is alone and there are at least three adult males in the attacking party. Within social groups, individuals may form coalitions of two or more members to increase their relative dominance over a third individual. In bottlenose dolphins, such coalitions can reach exceptional levels of sophistication. Two to three males in one coalition join up with a second coalition to defeat a third. Occasionally, a large group of 14 male dolphins forms a team that readily overpowers smaller groups. And for what? A single, sexually receptive female. It remains to be seen, however, whether a group's superiority arises from overall numerical superiority or from some other, as yet undiscovered factor. For example, what if the total number of individuals in the two united coalitions is four and the number of individuals in the single coalition is five? Here, two coalitions are greater than one, but five is greater than four. If dolphins are truly counting the number of individuals, then such differences matter.
It is clear that animals have need for certain basic arithmetic calculations. We know little, however, about how they represent those calculations, and the corresponding numbers, in their heads. There are two popular experimental designs from which we hope to gain insight into the conceptual representation of numbers in both animals and people: those that explore spontaneous representations of number and those that involve training.

Want to build viral business on Instagram, Twitter (TWTR), Facebook (FB), Pinterest and other social-media sites? Feed the eyes.
Why? Most potential fans will remember only 10% of your words, says Tim Riesterer, chief strategy and marketing officer at communications firm Corporate Visions. Add pictures, and you'll quadruple the power of your posts.
"If you're not using effective visuals, your words will disappear like cotton candy and have no lasting effect," Riesterer told IBD.
These strategies increase clicks:
• Bone up. "Great marketers who are in tune with their audience know which channels to use and which are a waste of resources," said Kristi Chester, marketing manager at design firm MKJ Creative.
• Cut to fit. When you post a picture, ask: Whom do I want to impress?
"Images resonate differently with different audiences," said Scott Ziegler, a social-media strategist at communications firm Makovsky. "For a fashion brand, I might hit a totally separate set of images to put out to women and a totally separate batch to men."
• Zoom. Think billboard with social-media snapshots, Ziegler says. Punchy words. Vibrant art. And trim content.
• Kick it up. "How can you convince somebody to take one more step?" Riesterer challenged.
Your pictures should make people push a button, play a video or launch an online shopping spree.
• Find the animal within. Latch onto what Riesterer calls the human lizard brain.
That's the primitive part of your customers' noodles in charge of all snap decisions, like whether to click and buy.
• Easy does it. Hint: The human lizard brain hasn't evolved in eons, Riesterer says. "It prefers very simple, concrete inputs."
• Contrast. Online skimmers jump at visuals that show gaps, deficiencies, change and progress. Example: "The before and after," Riesterer said. "There's a scratch on a car, and it magically disappears."
• In and out. Video's the rage online, but cut that 15-minute training film or speech reel. "It doesn't have any business being more than three minutes," Ziegler suggested.
• Blink. The best carve their films down to the bone. On Vine, users post and share six-second videos. Brutally short? Ziegler contends busy audiences eat these bite-size films up and come back for more.
• Get in gear. Learn how to edit and animate so you can hatch quick, convincing videos that stick. Ziegler says that's what the best are doing right now.
• Draw on numbers. Ziegler points to firms such as Nike (NKE) that scout for data storytellers — communicators who can channel facts and figures into online eye candy and information graphics.
• Color carefully. Some social media engines, like Instagram, give users the option of adding special effects to their images. Ziegler often skips that step: "Filters don't always enhance the photo."
• Look at yesteryear. If your company's been around long enough to have an archive of material, find a few black-and-white or vintage shots you can post.
"Every once in a while it pops and stands out among other visual content," Ziegler said.
• Let it be bright. Make sure your pictures are well-lit.
This is vital if you're jockeying for fans in the food and beverage industry, Ziegler preaches. He frequently notices foodie photography that is dark or shadowy, and it nauseates him.
• Frame it. "Think about what's around the plate," Ziegler said. "Is it in a setting on a table with a bunch of wine? The background is important."

World Cup broadcaster SBS looks set to reap the rewards of the federal government's decision to bend anti-siphoning laws by allowing it to telecast matches first on its digital channel.
Morning replays of World Cup matches on the SBS2 channel have already proved popular and simultaneous live telecasts are expected to boost ratings that have flagged due to the Socceroos' lacklustre performance so far in the tournament.
Under anti-siphoning rules, the free-to-air networks must show listed events – such as the World Cup – first on their main channels.
But Communications Minister
The final round of pool fixtures at each World Cup is scheduled at the same time and the temporary anti-siphoning exemption means watchers can choose between the matches on SBS and its digital affiliate without having to view either match on replay.
SBS sports chief Ken Shipp said the decision to broadcast conflicting pool matches increased viewer choice and he expected it to boost the number of people tuning in. "The aggregate will be high," Mr Shipp said from South Africa. "People will now have a choice about which game they want to watch so I guess we'll probably spread the audience across the two channels, but I do expect the numbers on Two to be fairly comparable to One."
The arrangement will allow viewers overnight to flick between Australia's must-win match against Serbia while keeping an eye on the game between Germany and Ghana.
Fusion Strategy managing director Steve Allen said the simultaneous broadcasts would help buoy ratings that had sagged since the Socceroos' 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Germany.
That shocker was watched live on SBS by 1.4 million viewers and was the eighth-most-watched show in the broadcaster's history, despite its 4.30am time slot.
But last weekend's 1-1 draw with Ghana attracted 1.3 million viewers, despite being played at a more Australian-friendly time; numbers for the Serbia clash are expected to be much lower.
Viewer numbers for morning replays of some matches on the SBS digital channel have been around half the broadcaster's nightly soccer audience, which Mr Allen said boded well for viewer numbers once side-by-side telecasts began.
But he said nothing would stop ratings from plummeting if the Socceroos were knocked out.
"The history in this country is conclusive: when we're playing and we've got a chance of winning we watch, then we desert it altogether when we're going to lose," he said.
More than 8 million have tuned in to the World Cup coverage on SBS since the competition began last week.
NSW Major Events Minister
"With the Socceroos on all four giant screens at the site, we've organised to have the Germany v Ghana match broadcast on the Hyundai i-Ball in Cockle Bay," Mr Greene said.
"This gives fans the best of both worlds; the Australian game and a chance to see the other match as well."

A 22-year-old police officer visiting from Berlin, Germany, drowned in an Old Town hotel's pool Sunday night while engaged in a swimming contest with two drunken strangers, police reports said.
Stephan Walker was pronounced dead at Lower Keys Medical Center after a doctor tried to resuscitate him for more than 30 minutes.
Officers had to inform the man's father, Thomas Walker, who is also a police officer in Germany, of his son's death.
The elder Walker said his son was in good health and very fit, had no health problems and was not taking any medication, the report says.
Walker said he didn't think his son was drinking by the pool, but police officers wrote "had been drinking" in the report that asks for the sobriety status of the victim.
Officers interviewed a couple who spent time with the 22 year-old just before he disappeared into the pool.
Rich Eten, 45, of Boca Raton, told police that he and his girlfriend, Rose-Anne Fresenius, 37, of Delray Beach, had been drinking all day Sunday when they met "a nice young German police officer" at the Truman Hotel's pool, 611 Truman Ave.
"I'm a Navy Seal," Eten said, slurring his words, police reported.
The hotel's video security captured the couple and Stephan Walker together talking at the back end of the pool about 8 p.m., the reports said.
The swimming contest was to see which of the three could swim the most laps without coming up for air.
On the video, Walker is seen completing three laps underwater, yet when he made it back to the pool's edge by the ladder, he doesn't come back up, police said.
His new friends didn't notice a thing, police said.
"You notice Eten and Fresenius unaware and engaged in some other sort of conversation away from Walker's return lap to the edge of the pool," Officer Gustavo Medina wrote.
Three minutes later, the video shows Eten and Fresenius get out of the pool, pick up their drinks and "calmly walk away apparently unaware that Stephan Walker never came up for air," Medina wrote.
Some 11 minutes later, another hotel guest is seen on the tape getting into the pool by the ladder and freezing in place halfway into the water.
She saw a body on the bottom of the pool and called out for help, she told police later.
A 56-year-old man from Uruguay, seated nearby, responded by diving into the water and pulling Walker out to start CPR. The body was cold to the touch and Walker never responded, the man told police.
Eten and Fresenius told police that Walker was a strong swimmer and believed that he had continued swimming after their contest, and "at no point thought he was in danger," police wrote.

The Galz' St. Pat's Adventure in VegasAuthor: bardgal
Date of Trip: March 2006
My best friend's birthday is on St. Patrick's Day. This year it was a big birthday (really Big), so she wanted to do something really special for her big day. The first idea was a cruise, a GalzCruz' to the Mexican Riviera, but one of TheGalz' could not make it that week, so she decided on Vegas instead. At first I was opposed to this, not because I don't love Vegas, but because we always go to Vegas. And for a big birthday such as this, I didn't feel Vegas was big enough. I go to Vegas every year for my birthday (this year will be no different), and when my big birthday rolls around in a few years, I want to be somewhere spectacular, like cruising from LA to Sydney on some fabulous cruise ship in a suite or on a wine tour with my friends in Adelaide Australia. In other words, something big that I've never done before.
Well, this wasn't my day, so it wasn't my decision. The group going consisted of myself, BirthdayGal, her Hubby, and an old GalPal from Houston. BirthdayGaland Hubby flew in from Denver, I jumped a Southwest flight from Burbank and we all met at McCarran at 4pm Wednesday, March 15th.
The day does not start off well for the BirthdayGal. She and Hubby had made reservations on United several weeks earlier, yet they were told that seat assignments were not available and would be given to them at the airport. BG asked if the flight was overbooked, and was told, "No, not at all, and don't worry, there will be no problem getting seats." Well, BG has flown enoughto know thatthis was a blatant lie, so they arrived extra early to get the "no problem" seat assignments only to be told they could pay more to bump up to Business class where the only open seats available were. This did not fly well with BG, and after much discussion with an über-rude gate agent, she and Hubbywere given seats in Coach but at opposite ends of the cabin.
Thankfully, I had no such problems at Burbank with Southwest. I had been smart enough to print my boarding pass the day before, and when I arrived at the gate, I sat down on the floor next to the door and opened my Vanity Fair. When it came time to board I noticed Iwas virtually the only female on the aircraft. At this point I made no connection as to why. Even after having a nice conversation with the guy next to me with his NCAA bracket sheet, it still did not dawn on me what we were going to be up against this trip.
After landing, the universe still thwarts the BG. We all meet at the MGM ticket office in the Baggage Claim area. BG is set to pick up tickets for tonight for Tom Jones (Yes,the Tom Jones, who she had seen three-times before, and I turned out to be the only one who said, "Sure, I'll go with you!"). Unfortunately, since she had gone thru her slot-host at The Paris for the seats, she is informed she must pick them up at the actual venue box office. To add insult to injury, since Caesar's etc. has been recently acquired by Harrah's, we can't check in at the airport check-in desk either because they are uploading new Harrah's software. I normally fly in to town earlier in the morning, or late at night, and getting a cab is not that big of a deal. However, 4pm on a Wednesday in the middle of March the wait for a taxi is forty-five minutes (I'm still not cluing in.)! Instead we opt to go find a towncar and for $40, including tip. We are at The Paris and checked in by 4:30 pm.
We change clothes and head downstairs to get a cocktail and play a little video poker at Gustav's bar, where we meet sweet bartender Tony who is from Houston. He comps our drinks and since it's the end of his shift tells us to come over to the Sports Bar the next few days where he will be working and he'll hook BG up with a B-day martini.
By 7:15, we head outside to grab a cab to MGM. We get to the cabstand and there is an endless line -- all men (Still not getting it). Hubby goes to call MGM to tell them we're on our way to pick up the tickets that must be picked up by 7:30 (because he's amazing) and begs them to not give them away. We finally make it into a cab, get to MGM's showroom and pick up our tickets at the last possible minute. We head to the Rainforest Café, where there is a 40 minute wait for a table. We grab two open seats at the bar since therewas nowait, and order what were perhaps the two worst appetizers in culinary history. The Rainforest Pita Quesadilla, which was all pita and very little queso, and the Chimi-Cha-Cha, which was dry and tasteless -- a nice salsa instead of pico might have saved these dishes, but that will remain a mystery since I never intend on eating at one of these establishments ever again. If I do, at least I'll know what not to order.
We head into the Showroom at 8:15, and sit next to Kevin, a guy who is in Vegas with a bunch of his college friends for "March Madness," but left them to come see Tom by himself. It finally hits me.
March Madness! Oh Noooooo! I thought our biggest problem would be St Patty's day, being that it was Vegas and a Friday. Let me explain why this was important: BG could not decide on where she wanted to have her big birthday dinner, so we had reservations all over town. There was Michael's at Barbary Coast (which along with Dre's are the only reasons that hotel is still standing), Charlie Palmer's at Four Seasons, Delmonico's at Venetian and The Eiffel Tower restaurant at The Paris. There was also a plan to do a "Pub-Crawl" style grazing dining experience, in that we'd start at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill at Caesars for appetizers, then move to The Palm at the Forum Shops for Lobster Bisque, then either to Olives at Bellagio or down the strip to Smith & Wollensky's for the main entrée, followed by dessert at The Eiffel Tower. We had cancelled Michael's about three days before we came to town when I found out they charged $149 for "steak of two" al a carte. I figured if that price did not includesomething "more"with your steak then no one needed to pay that kind of money, even for a top restaurant in Vegas. We also had breakfast reservations for Friday at Tableau at The Wynn. (Yes, Vegas is about eating!)
BG and Kevin have a great time as they are huge Tom fans, while I wanted to kill the lighting designer. Almost every single moment of the show they had bright Vari-Lites sweeping the audience. Within five minutes I had donned my sunglasses, and was holding the beverage menu in front of my face to save my retinas from being scorched. I'm not sure what the point of this was. Everyone knows Tom Jones is 63. He looks fabulous. If they were doing it to blind the audience and hide his age, then he should be playing a bigger venue and be farther away from the crowd. He's adorable, and everyone loves him because he's Tom-freaking-Jones. He puts on a great show. What's New Pussycat and Kiss made the entire evening, but I still want to string up the lighting designer and make him stare at the sun. Afterwards we headed back and played until the wee hours.
Late Thursday morning Hubby brings Houstonand I coffee (did I mention he's amazing?), and then we head down to the casino. We try to find a bar to sit at, play video poker so we can have some free cocktails and not wait for the odd cocktail server to wander by, but every single bar/lounge is packed with guys in packs, smoking cigars and staring at basketball on every available monitor. We finally find two empty spots at Le Cabaret bar. There is another empty seat by two guys watching basketball. The plan is to get this extra seat and wait for one of the other dudes at the bar to move, then the Galz can be together as Hubby is happily playing slots off by himself. I lean over and ask Dude #1 if I can steal the empty chair. He smiles and responds, "You baby, can steal anything!" I smile, tell him he made my day, give him a hug, and start to move the chair. Cranky bartender tells me I can't move the chair because it will block an aisle. At first I think he's joking. Then I blink at him in disbelief and try to imagine where this aisle he has alluded to might possibly be or if it does indeed exist since this lounge is wall-to-wall "ManPacks" watching March Madness.
Houston goes to the other side of the bar where there is one available seat and BG and I sit in the two open seats. Dude #1 asks where I'm from, and he offers to buy us both drinks (that we're getting for free since we're playing). Dude #2, who turns out to be his brother, tells BG he can "make her birthday a very memorable one" as Dude #1 is giving me his phone number. "I'd really like to buy the Birthday Girl a drink and hang with you all tonight! I have my Blackberry with me so please call." We smile politely then finish our drinks and decide to move away from the Testosterone Pool. BG remarks that she hasn't had a "drive-by" proposition in a while. We howl.
At 12:30 pm, we all meet and have lunch at Mon Ami Gabi, one of our favorite restaurants in town. My dear friend Mark, who moved a year ago to Vegas to star in Forever Plaid at The Gold Coast joins us, and has gotten us free tickets to his show that night. We start with a bottle of Letour Chardonnay and the amazing Baked Cheese & Tomato with Garlic Toast appetizer. Mmmm! I try to keep it light and order the Endive & Pear Salad, BG has the French Macaroni & Cheese, while Mark orders the Onion Soup Burger. Hubby & Houston each have the Chicken & Brie Sandwich. Of course I have a taste of everything on the table. The Mac & Cheese is amazing since it has French ham chunks in it, and the Onion Soup Burger is astounding. We finish with Flourless Chocolate Cake. So much for keeping it light. We then all proceed to fall into afternoon food-comas.
We dress and head to the I-can't-believe-this-hotel-is-still-standing Gold Coast around 7 pm for Forever Plaid. Great show! We all laugh ourheads off. Afterwards, Mark is starving so I go with him to get food while BG & Co head back to Paris/Bally's to play so BG can keep her casino rating up since she is getting her room comped and working on comping ours. Mark and I end up also going back to Paris since he has some friends who work at a lovely restaurant there that I never knew existed (since I always seem to gravitate to Mon Ami) called La Provençal. Great menu! A little pricey but not terribly, and the servers sing.Killer sing. Arias. Floor traffic out in the casino/shopping area comes to a standstill when these people sing. Amazing. Mark has a small salad, I have some lobster bisque and we split some four-cheese gnocchi. YUM.
I head to bed about 1am. Houston, my roommate comes in from the Black Jack tables at 2:30 am. She, BG, and Hubby grabbed a late supper at Café Ille St Louis at 1am. Needless to say we bail on breakfast at Wynn which is a shame since BG has yet to see it. (Maybe we'll all make it there for my b-day.)
At last it's the big birthday. Hubby again delivers java, and BG has decided that if we do the restaurant crawl for dinner we'll be stuffed after soup, so she decides on just Olives at Bellagio for dinner to avoid getting in a cab. I call this a smart move. I spend 30 minutes calling and canceling reservations.
We hit the casino by 11am and head to the Sports Book to find bartender Tony to make BG her martini. However, we find it packed wall to wall with the ManPacks in a sea of smoke. We wave at Tony and run away to find some oxygen.
[Observation: The last several years the smoke in Vegas has not bothered me very much. The newer casinos all have very high ceilings with great circulation, and fewer and fewer people are smoking these days. This time it was horrid. I finally got sick of drowning my eyes in Opcon-A every 20 minutes and kept my sunglasses on 24/7.]

Senate still pushing voucher program over EITC expansion.
By Eric Boehm | PA Independent
HARRISBURG —The education reform battle heated up on Tuesday as the state House passed a measure to expand an educational tax credit program, but the highest ranking member of the Senate Education Committee immediately threw cold water on the proposal.
The state House voted 190-7 to pass a bill expanding the Educational Improvement Tax Credit, or EITC, program, which provides scholarships to low- and middle-income families to attend private or faith-based schools.
The EITC is capped at $60 million this budget year. The bill passed Tuesday by the state House would increase it to $100 million next year and $200 million annually beginning with the 2012-13 budget year.
The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Tom Quigley, R-Montgomery, also would increase the maximum donation from a single business from $300,000 to $750,000 annually and would raise the income standard for families participating in the program from $60,000 to $75,000.
The EITC is funded through contributions from businesses to nonprofit scholarship organizations, which distribute the scholarship funds to eligible students who wish to attend private or religious schools. In return for their contribution, businesses receive a 75 percent tax credit.
Since the program was enacted in 2001, more than 250,000 students have received EITC scholarships.
State Sen. Jeffrey Piccola, R-Dauphin, said the bill was "dead on arrival" in the state Senate, where another, broader school choice proposal is waiting for a final vote. Piccola's proposal would create a statewide voucher program for lower- and middle-income students who wish to leave public schools.
The voucher proposal would redirect the per-student portion of the state's basic education subsidy to school districts, allowing students to apply those funds to a school of their choice. The amount of the voucher would vary from district to district.
Dave Transue, Piccola's chief of staff, said the senator was fully committed to the voucher plan, which includes a provision to increase the EITC to $100 million.
Quigley said the House bill was a "win-win" for Pennsylvania's students and business community.
"I think it would be a mistake to say that it's all or nothing," said Quigley.
Republicans in the state House and state Senate are looking to expand education opportunities for Pennsylvania families, but cannot seem to agree on how to do it. After several months of informational hearings on school choice, the Senate voucher bill appeared ready for a final vote in the chamber last month, but tepid support from the governor and House Republicans delayed the vote.
House Republican leadership remains reluctant to publicly support the Senate proposal, even after some changes were made to bring Gov. Tom Corbett on board two weeks ago. Senate leaders are negotiating with House Republicans before taking a final vote on the bill.
State Sen. Andrew Dinniman, D-Chester, a co-sponsor of the voucher bill, encouraged Republicans to find a compromise on the two bills. He also urged Corbett to spend more time in Harrisburg pushing the voucher proposal.
"What's so strange about this is that while the governor has gone off to Washington to praise vouchers, he has not been able to convince the House Republicans to support the vouchers here," Dinniman said, referring to Corbett's appearance at a national education reform rally Monday in the nation's capital.
Corbett has proposed increasing the cap to $75 million next year, and last week Secretary of Education Ronald Tomalis said the administration was sticking to that plan.
If the Senate does not accept the House's plan to increase funding for the EITC program above that level, it will revert back to $75 million next year.
The Senate's plan, meanwhile, remains in limbo, but House Republicans promised the bill would at least be on life support if it made it to their chamber.
House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, said he intended to hold hearings on the voucher bill if the legislation passed the state Senate
"But we need to get the budget done on time," Turzai said.
The Pennsylvania State Education Association, the state's largest teachers' union, opposes the Senate voucher bill because it would redirect a portion of state education dollars to the vouchers. The organization has not taken a position on the EITC expansion proposal passed by the state House.

ray was miked up on the field in a pittsburg game. the video along with the sound was the closest i have ever seen NFl action. it was much closer than the video on "one winning drive".
i don't see how these guys make it through a game bad enough a year without major injuries. these are 250-350 pound guys just hammering each other in addition to the cheap shots after the play. regular television coverage does not do justice to the incredible physicality of the game.

Life Lessons From Baseball
- [ Ignore ]
This little league season my nine year old grandson got an opportunity to be a pitcher. At that age they are only allowed limited time on the mound; no more than two innings in a game. His skill levels in fielding throwing and hitting are among the best in his group so I thought pitching would come easy. When I first saw him pitching his motion seemed halting and forced much like someone throwing at the bottles at a carnival.
After the game I did my grandfatherly duty and tried to explain what I saw and offer some help. He understood the idea of a smooth delivery and over the next few days went about trying different styles with his father. I left him with an analogy to a video game. I explained that each time he takes the mound the best score he can achieve is 9. That is, striking out the opposing side in 9 pitches. So it is with unrestrained pride that I tell you that four days later my grandson called me and said that he had done it. He struck out the side throwing only 9 pitches. Some days you get lemonade.

I have made several cases with this tute. I go back to it all the time because I can't remember the order of fabric lay out. I found a youtube to do a french seam for the inside. I love youtube.
Thanks for sharing this. I was wanting to make one and knew I would be able to find a tute somewhere but now I didn't even have to look. I want to make a smaller one for a child's pillow--is there a simple way to size this down to fit other size pillows?
These make such fun gifts!
Thank you for sharing!

About Field Marshal Colin Campbell, 1st Baron Clyde GCB, KSI
Field Marshal Colin Campbell, 1st Baron Clyde GCB, KSI (20 October 1792 – 14 August 1863) was a British Army officer from Scotland who led the Highland Brigade in the Crimea and was in command of the 'Thin red line' at the battle of Balaclava. He later commanded the relief army in the Indian Mutiny of 1857.
Early life
He was born Colin Macliver, the eldest of the four children of John Macliver, a carpenter in Glasgow, Scotland, and his wife Agnes Campbell. He was educated at the High School of Glasgow, but the age of ten, his mother's brother Colonel John Campbell placed him in the Royal Military and Naval Academy at Gosport. When he was only fifteen and a half, his uncle presented him to the Duke of York. The Duke enlisted the boy under the surname of Campbell, which he adopted for life.
Military career
One year later, aged sixteen, he obtained an ensignancy in the 9th Regiment of Foot through the influence of his uncle. His first opportunity at active service soon came. He fought under Wellington at the Battle of Vimeiro. He later retreated with the rest of Sir John Moore's army to Corunna, and was present at the Battle of Corunna. He fought throughout the Peninsular War, and was severely wounded while leading a storming party in the attack on San Sebastián. He was again wounded at the passage of the Bidassoa and compelled to return to the United Kingdom, where his conspicuous gallantry was rewarded by promotion.
Campbell served in Nova Scotia with the 7th Battalion, 60th Regiment in the War of 1812. After the peace of 1815, he devoted himself to studying military science. In 1823, he quelled the slave rebellion in Demerara, and two years later bought himself a major's rank. In 1832, he became lieutenant-colonel of the 98th Foot and rendered distinguished service in 1842 during the First Opium War. Campbell next saw action in India, in the Second Anglo-Sikh War of 1848-1849, under Sir Hugh Gough. He was wounded at the battle of Chillianwala. At the decisive victory of Gujrat, his skill and valour contributed largely to the success of the British forces; his "steady coolness and military precision" were highly praised in official despatches. He was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in 1849, and specially named in the thanks of Parliament.
Crimean War
After further service in India, Campbell returned home in 1853. The next year, the Crimean War broke out, and he accepted the command of the Highland Brigade, which formed part of the Duke of Cambridge's division. The brigade and its leader distinguished themselves very greatly at the Battle of Alma; and with his "thin red line of Highlanders" he repulsed the Russian attack on Balaclava. At the close of the war, Sir Colin was promoted to Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, and elected honorary D.C.L. of Oxford University.
Commander-in-Chief of India
His military ability had been late in being recognised; but his true worth was soon appreciated. In 1857 what started as a mutiny of sepoy soldiers in India spread to a general insurrection in the north of the areas of India controlled by the East India Company. The initial successes of the rebellion lead Lord Palmerston to offer him the command of British forces there on July 11, 1857. On being asked when he would be ready to set out, Campbell replied, "Within twenty-four hours." He left England the next evening, and reached Calcutta on August 13. After spending over two months in the capital to organize his resources, he started for the front on October 27, and on November 17 relieved Lucknow for the second time. Campbell, however, considered Lucknow a false position, and once more abandoned it to the rebels, retaking it in March 1858. He continued in charge of the operations in Oudh until the embers of the revolt had died away. For these services he was raised to the peerage in 1858 as Baron Clyde, of Clydesdale in Scotland. After returning to the United Kingdom in the next year, he received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament and a pension of £2000 a year. He was promoted to Field Marshal in 1862.
Legacy and assessment
Despite lacking the dash which won Britain so many victories in India, Campbell was regarded as a brave soldier and a careful and prudent leader. The soldiers whom he led were devotedly attached to him; and he commanded unvarying respect. Nicknames given by those who disliked his safety-first style of generalship, included 'Sir Crawling Camel' and 'Old Slowcoach'.
Lord Clyde never married and the barony became extinct on his death in August 1863, aged 70. He was buried in Westminster Abbey. A statue was erected to him in his native town, (see Glasgow's public statues) from whom he had also received the Sword of Honour, one of many he received from throughout Britain. Another statue of him, by Carlo Marochetti, was erected in Waterloo Place, London, in 1867. The town of Clyde, New Zealand was named after him in 1865. The town of Campbellpore (Campbellpur), Attock in present day Pakistan, was named after him in 1908.

Stevens: Lobos' Ranch Girl Plants Seeds of Confidence in Young Lobos
Oct. 17, 2012
New Mexico Lobos Volleyball - Mountain West Conference
Thursday: 8 p.m. (MT) at San Diego State
Saturday: 2 p.m. (MT) at Nevada
GoLobos.com: Game Recap, Stats
By Richard Stevens - Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
Let's get this straight from the get-go. Jordan Russell is not a farmer.
"She gets mad if you call her a farmer," said a smiling Lobo Coach Jeff Nelson, throwing out some interview bait. "She's a rancher."
Now, that doesn't mean Russell, the only senior on Nelson's Lobo volleyball team, has anything against fruits, vegetables or grains. But when the sun cracked the horizon out by Moriarty, dad (Joe Russell) wasn't waking up Russell to pick tomatoes or hoe a rose garden.
It was saddle up time.
"I'm not a farmer. I'm a rancher," said Russell, also smiling. "There's nothing wrong with farmers, but we raise beef cattle, not crops. It's just different."
For sure, there is something more romantic, maybe even more macho, about pulling on your boots, jumping on a horse, and riding off to round up cattle. Russell did that most of her life and even did it this past May when it was branding time.
And these ranch activities really do start shortly after sunrise.
"You get stuff done early because it gets hot later," said Russell. "I like to do all that stuff, so it was easy for me to do it. But it also was expected of us whether we liked it or not."
What all that "stuff"' teaches you is work ethic.
"I think when you grow up on a ranch there are things you have to do that toughen you up," said Nelson. "Those aren't kids who are afraid to get their hands dirty. Jordan is a tough kid."
At Moriarty High, Russell never had it that tough. She was a star from the get-go: A four-year captain in volleyball and a two-year captain in basketball. She won state twice in Class 4A volleyball and was a two-time all-state setter.
"I thought about going to a smaller school and playing both sports," said Russell. "Basketball was fun for me, but I was ready to focus on volleyball and see what I could do."
At UNM, it became tougher. She played two seasons behind Jade Michaelsen at the setter position, often scratching out court time as a defensive specialist. She played in about half the sets in 2011 ending with 54 assists, playing behind Mariah Agre (1131 assists) and behind Allison Buck and Miquella Lovato on defense.
She is splitting time at the setter spot this year with Hannah Johnson. Russell has 388 assists and Johnson has 414. Russell has played in 79 of UNM's 80 sets. Russell has 134 digs.
"I knew I would have a tough road at New Mexico to work myself into a big role," said Russell. "But it was important to have my family come to games. I love having my family at the games.
"I went from being a starter all four years in high school to be an underdog here, but I played my freshman year as a DS (defensive specialist). It's been nice and I like the challenge of earning what I get."
Russell's court time has improved in this, her last, season as a Lobo. But Russell's role on this team goes further than the lines and is just as important on the other side of the court.
"The presence of a good leader was critical to the success of this year," said Nelson. "We were too young not to have one. She is one of the best kids I've ever had in that role.
"When she talks to the team, she doesn't leave any holes. She tells the girls what is expected and what is not accepted."
Said Russell: "I'm used to responsibility. It's a little different being the only senior, but it's been good. And it's easier when your record is 17-4."
The Lobos were kind of a mystery team - even to Nelson - going into the 2012 season. They were young, but talented. When the injury bug took a deep bite into Nelson's roster, it was again important to have a team leader.
"There weren't a lot of expectations on us and I think that took away some of the pressure," said Russell. "But we all come from winning programs and we go out there expecting to win.
"We're OK."
Really the Lobos are more than OK. A big part of that is because the Lobos' ranch girl acted a bit like a farmer and planted a few seeds and cultivated some confidence. And she probably dug in her senior spurs a bit, too.
"She is one of those players who really gets it," said Nelson. "She understands what it takes and is comfortable in her role. I never really have to worry about Jordan.
"She gets things done."
